V. QUALIFYING CONDITIONS
An independent consultant, Jac Cuney, experienced in conducting conditions surveys,
conducted a field investigation survey to determine if conditions constituting the definition of
"blighted area" contained in Section 103(2) of the Urban Renewal Law exist in the Area . The
results of this survey are contained in a report entitled "Wyndham Hill Town Center Conditions
Survey" dated November 2015 that identified and documented the following statutory
conditions as existing in the Urban Renewal Area :
3
A. Predominance of defective or inadequate street layout;
B. Faulty lot layout in relation to size adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness;
C. Unsanitary or unsafe conditions;
D. Deterioration of site or other improvements;

E. Unusual topography or inadequate public improvements or utilities;
F. Environmental contamination of buildings or property;
G . The existence of health, safety, or welfare factors requiring high levels of
municipal services or substantial physical underutilization or vacancy of sites, buildings,
or other improvements.

area described as Wyndham Hill Town Center Urban Renewal Project , Town of
Frederick, County of Weld, State of Colorado (the "Survey Area") to determine if factors
that meet the definition of a "blighted area" in Section 31-25-103(2) of the Colorado
Revised Statutes are present and whether the Survey Area is, therefore, eligible as an
urban renewal area under the provisions of the Colorado Urban Renewal Law.
The Survey Area contains approximately 145.69 acres located at the northwest corner of
I-25 and Colorado Highway 52. Property owners of record were notified that the Survey
was being conducted as required by statute. The Survey Area is depicted in Exhibit A,
attached to and made a part hereof. The Survey Area includes parcel numbers
131334446002, 131334345001, 131334400023, and 131334446001. Also included is
existing Rights of Way. Photographs of the Survey Area are included in Exhibit B,
attached to and made a part hereof.

Renewal Law.
"Blighted area" means an area that, in its present condition and use and, by reason of
the presence of at least four of the following factors, substantially impairs or arrests the
sound growth of the municipality, retards the provision of housing accommodations, or
constitutes an economic or social liability, and is a menace to the public health, safety,
morals, or welfare:
(a) Slum, deteriorated, or deteriorating structures;
(b) Predominance of defective or inadequate street layout;
(c) Faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness;
(d) Unsanitary or unsafe conditions;
(e) Deterioration of site or other improvements;
(f) Unusual topography or inadequate public improvements or utilities;
(g) Defective or unusual conditions of title rendering the title non-
marketable;
2
(h) The existence of conditions that endanger life or property by fire or other
causes;
(i) Buildings that are unsafe or unhealthy for persons to live or work in
because of building code violations, dilapidations, deterioration,
defective design, physical construction, or faulty or inadequate facilities;
(j) Environmental contamination of buildings or property;
(k.5) The existence of health, safety, or welfare factors requiring high levels of
municipal services or substantial physical underutilization or vacancy of
sites, buildings, or other improvements;
(1) If there is no objection of such property owner or owners and the tenant
or tenants of such owner or owners, if any, to the inclusion of such
property in an urban renewal area, "blighted area" also means an area
that, in its present condition and use and, by reason of the presence of
any one of the factors specified in paragraphs (a) to (k.5) of this
subsection (2), substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the
municipality, retards the provision of housing accommodations, or
constitutes an economic or social liability, and is a menace to the public
health, safety, morals or welfare. For purposes of this paragraph (1), the
fact that an owner of an interest in such property does not object to the
inclusion of such property in the urban renewal area does not mean that
the owner has waived any rights of such owner in connection with laws
governing condemnation.
The determination of whether an area constitutes a "blighted area" is a legislative
determination within the discretion of a municipal governing body. The purpose of this
Conditions Survey is to provide documentation of the above defined physical,
environmental and social factors as they exist within the Survey Area. It is not necessary
for every factor to be present in an area in order for it to qualify as a "blighted area".
Rather, an area qualifies as blighted when four or more factors are present. As
explained in item (I) above, this threshold may be reduced to the presence of one
blighting factor in cases where property owners and tenants in the Survey Area do not
object to inclusion in an urban renewal area. As explained later in this report,
conditions evidencing blight were found in the Survey Area.
3.0 Study Methodology
An independent consultant, Jac Cuney, experienced in conducting conditions surveys,
conducted field investigations for the purpose of documenting conditions within the
categories of blight shown above. The consultant used a checklist of conditions within
each statutory factor to aid in the identification and characterization of blight factors.
3
(a) Slum, deteriorated, or deteriorating structures
This factor is said to be present when the physical condition of structures in the
area present specific life-safety concerns. Sub-categories include:
• Roof deterioration/damage
• Wall, fascia board and soffit deterioration/damage
• Foundation problems (can also be inferred from subsidence)
• Gutter/downspouts: deterioration or absence
• Exterior finish deterioration (i.e. peeling or badly faded paint, crumbling
stucco, cracked masonry)
• Window and/or door deterioration/damage
• Stairway/fire escape deterioration/damage
• Mechanical equipment (problems with or damage to major mechanical
elements of primary structure)
• Loading areas: damage/deterioration
• Fence/wall/gate damage or deterioration
• Other structures: deterioration to significant non-primary structures

`.v , v �....... ..,... .v. . . . . . r.-. � - V. .. .v..n...�wM r .. Jam.. Vim. . • 4 VHS
This factor is said to be present when the layout (or non-existence) of streets or
roads creates problems impacting health, safety, welfare or sound development.
Sub-categories include:
• Vehicular access: ingress and/or egress options for automobile traffic are
unsafe, missing, or significantly inconvenient for visitor or customers
• Internal circulation : non-public, internal roadways or driveways are unsafe,
significantly inconvenient or present safety problems relative to their
interaction with public roads
• Driveway definitions/curb cuts: unsafe or significantly inconvenient
• Parking layout substandard: causing safety or access problems
• Traffic accident history: (when data is available), disproportionate share of
reported vehicular accidents
(c) Faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness
4
This factor is said to be present when lot size or configuration inhibits or is likely
to inhibit sound development. Sub-categories include:
• Faulty lot shape or layout: narrow, triangular, split, and other shapes
incompatible with most land uses. Includes parcels that are blocked from
direct vehicular access by other parcels.
• Vehicular access unsafe, missing or significantly inconvenient. Because access
involves the interplay between lots and roadways, parcels with poor access
are usually found to have both category (b) and (c) present.
• Inadequate lot size. This can depend on the context (i.e. downtown and/or
historical environments can often develop successfully with smaller lots,
whereas suburban locales are expected to have larger parcels available for
development)
(d) Unsanitary or unsafe conditions
This factor is said to be present when safety hazards and conditions are likely to
have adverse effects on the health or welfare of persons in the area due to
problems with a lack of infrastructure. Sub-categories include:
• Poorly lit or unlit areas
• Cracked or uneven sidewalks
• Hazardous contaminants
• Poor drainage
• Flood hazard: substantially within a 100-yr floodplain, according to FEMA
• Steep slopes and difficult grade changes that are a safety hazard
• Unscreened trash or mechanical equipment: openly accessible dumpsters
(note: this is scored as a safety problem under this statutory factor even if not
a municipal code violation) or potentially dangerous mechanical equipment
• Pedestrian safety issues: often related to other blight factors, this sub-
category is present when pedestrian and cyclists face a clear danger from
sidewalk problems, lack or crosswalks/crossing lights, fast-moving traffic
• High crime incidence: (when data available), usually defined as an area with a
disproportionate share of police calls for service
• Vagrants/vandalism/graffiti: while usually not a direct safety threat, can be
indicative of unsafe urban environments
5
(e) Deterioration of site or other improvements
This factor is present when land and/or structures have been either damaged or
I
neglected. Sub-categories include:
▪ Neglected or poorly maintained properties, streets, alleys, sidewalks, and
other public improvements
• Trash/debris/weeds
• Parking surface/cu rb/gutter deterioration/damage
• Lack of landscaping: reserved for properties with an expectation of
landscaping (due to zoning or context) but with none (or landscaping that has
become neglected)
(f) Unusual topography or inadequate public improvements or utilities
This factor represents the combination of two formerly separate factors. To that
end, it is said to be present when the topography is steep and incompatible with
development or properties are lacking complete or inadequate public
infrastructure. Sub-categories include:
.nviica tit uiau.>uaa LcIiaw
• Street pavement deterioration or absence
• Curb and gutter deterioration or absence
• Street lighting inadequate, damaged or missing
• Lack of sidewalks (or significant damage)
• Water/Sewer service: missing or in need of repair/replacement
• Storm sewer/drainage missing or damaged
(g) Defective or unusual conditions of title rendering the title non-marketable
This factor is said to be present when there are problems with the marketability of
property titles, including unusual restrictions or unclear ownership. Due to the
expense of title searches, this blight factor is typically not examined unless
developers or land owners provide documentation of known title issues.
(h) The existence of conditions that endanger life or property by fire or other causes
6
This factor is said to be present when site and / or building maintenance or use
issues exist that may threaten site users. This factor also includes potential
threats from fire or other causes. Sub-categories include:
a Fire safety problems: identified through fire code violation data (where
available), discussions with fire department personnel, or evidence of recent
fires
• Hazardous contaminants: an "other cause" posing danger to life/property
• High crime incidence ( note: included in other factors)
• Floodpiain/flood hazard (note: included in other factors)
(i) Buildings that are unsafe or unhealthy for persons to live or work in because of
building code violations, dilapidations, deterioration, defective design, physical
construction, or faulty or inadequate facilities
This factor is said to be present when primary improvements, specifically those
described in the context of factors (a) and (d) above, as well as property, poses a
danger to the extent that habitation and/or daily use is considered unsafe. Sub-
categories include:
• Hazardous contaminants
• High crime index
• Building/facilities unsafe: this determination is best made through interior
inspection but can be obvious with outside observation in some cases.
(j) Environmental contamination of buildings or property
This factor is said to be present when there exist threats from chemical or
biological contamination. Unlike category (i) above, this factor can be said to exist
even when such contamination does not pose a direct health hazard, so long as it
causes other problems (i.e. inhibits development). Sub-categories include:
• Hazardous contaminants
(k.5) The existence of health, safety, or welfare factors requiring high levels of
municipal services or substantial physical underutilization or vacancy of sites,
buildings, or other improvements
7
This factor is said to be present when properties or their improvements are
underutilized; or, there is a disproportionate amount of public service being
provided, such as properties generating frequent calls for police, code
enforcement or fire service and therefore, requiring more than their share of
municipal services. Sub-categories include:
• High fire call volume
• High crime incidence (reflected in police calls for service)
• Site underutilization (vacant land or buildings more than approximately 20
percent vacant) or sites that are underutilized because of incompatible uses
4.0 Survey Area Facts
The Survey Area consists of a three (3) platted parcels of unimproved land described in
Section 1.0 and depicted on the vicinity map, Exhibit A. According to the Weld County
Assessor, the Survey Area has been classified and assessed as agricultural land in the
five-year period prior to the date of this Conditions Survey.

eleven blight factors listed in the Colorado Urban Renewal Law, including (i)
predominance of defective or inadequate street layout; (ii) faulty lot layout in relation to
size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness; (iii) unsanitary or unsafe conditions; (iv)
deterioration of site or other improvements; (v) unusual topography or inadequate
public improvements; (vi) environmental contamination of buildings or property; (vii)
the existence of health, safety, or welfare factors requiring high levels of municipal
services or substantial physical underutilization or vacancy of sites, buildings or other
improvements.
The Survey Area is comprised of vacant and unimproved land. Factors that were
observed and identified include lot and street layout problems, inadequate provisions
for pedestrian safety, inadequate public improvements, lack of infrastructure
easements, and site underutilization, all of which would support a finding that the
Survey Area is blighted. The seven blight factors specified by the law found in the
Survey Area are described in more detail in the discussion that follows (The letter in
parentheses in the title to the following paragraphs corresponds to the letter for that
factor in Section 31-25-103(2), C.R.S.) .
8
(b) Predominance of defective or inadequate street layout
Predominance of defective or inadequate street layout can be considered present
when existing roads are insufficient to meet the needs of improvements within
the Area, or there is a lack of streets or the streets that are in place are
deteriorating. The Survey Area is comprised of vacant unimproved parcels. The
vacant parcels therefore lack driveway definitions and curb cuts along with a lack
of internal streets, lack of lighting, sidewalks and parking areas. The following
sub-categories of factor (b) were found in the Survey Area :
• Vehicular access - ingress and egress is non-existent
• Driveway definitions and curb cuts are unsafe or do not exist
• Internal streets and roadways are non-existent
(c) Faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness
Because poor vehicular access is also a characteristic of faulty lots, the Area
suffers from this blight factor for the reasons explained under (b) above.
• Vehicular access unsafe and inconvenient or non-existent
(d) Unsanitary or unsafe conditions
Multiple factors contribute to unsafe conditions in the Area. Among them is a lack
of improved roadways, as explained under (b) above. Additionally, steep slopes
(described in factor (f) below) combined with insufficient lighting and incomplete
sidewalks and trails are considered a danger to pedestrians.
There is no lighting along the major right-of-way that borders the Area on the
South side of the Survey area or on major right-of-way (service road) on the East
side creating an unsafe environment for pedestrians. There is no interior lighting
on the property.
The following sub-categories of factor (d) were found in the Survey Area :
• Poorly lit or unlit areas
• Poor drainage
• Grading / steep slopes/elevations below grade
9
• Pedestrian safety issues
• Potential hazardous contaminants due to oil/gas wells and pipes
• Unscreened mechanical equipment or potentially dangerous mechanical
equipment
(e) Deterioration of site or other improvements
The following sub-categories of factor (e) were found in the Survey Area:
• Neglected and poorly maintained property
• Trash, debris and weeds
• Lack of landscaping (as required by zoning)
(f) Unusual topography or inadequate public improvements or utilities
As explained above, there is insufficient lighting along the rights-of-way that
border the Area, creating an unsafe environment for pedestrians.
Public improvements and utilities that are lacking and which will require
completion as part of any development program include: connections to water
dm.; sanitaIy sewei mains; inter lldl fUduWdys, curbs anti gutters; sidewalks anu
trail improvements; street lighting; on-site provisions for storm drainage; and,
water quality features. Although utilities are available in the vicinity of the Survey
Area, existing inadequacies constitute a deterrent to development within its
boundaries.
The following sub-categories of factor (f) were found in the Survey Area :
• Slopes and unusual terrain
• Non-existent Street pavement
• Curb and gutter absence
• Street lighting inadequate and missing
• Lack of sidewalks
• Water and sewer service incomplete
• Storm sewer and drainage incomplete and inadequate
(j) Environmental contamination of buildings or property
10
This factor is said to be present when there exist threats from chemical or
biological contamination. Unlike category (i) above, this factor can be said to exist
even when such contamination does not pose a direct health hazard, so long as it
causes other problems (i.e. inhibits development). Sub-categories include:
• Potential hazardous contaminants due to presence of oil/gas wells and pipes
■ Possible threat from chemical contamination
• Oil/gas wells and pipes could possibly inhibit development
(k.S) The existence of health, safety, or welfare factors requiring high levels of
municipal services or substantial physical underutilization or vacancy of sites,
buildings, or other improvements
This factor is said to be present when, as here, the site is vacant, or properties or
their improvements are underutilized; or, there is a disproportionate amount of
public service being provided - for instance, properties generating frequent calls
for police, code enforcement or fire service and therefore requiring more than
their share of municipal services. Sub-categories include:
■ High fire call volume (not found on this site)
• High crime incidence (not found on this site)
• Site underutilization (vacant land or buildings more than approximately 20
percent vacant. This condition is present in the Area)
Summary of Factors
Table 1 summarizes the findings across all surveyed parcels. As shown, seven factors of
the 11 total possible factors were found, to some extent, within the Survey Area. In this
case, all seven factors (as discussed earlier) were present to a degree that appeared
likely to have a significantly negative impact on safety, welfare and/or sound
development.

WELD COUNTY IMPACT REPORT
URBAN RENEWAL PLAN FOR THE WYNDHAM HILL TOWN CENTER
URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT
This impact report is submitted to the County Commissioners of Weld County as required by
Section 31 -25- 107(3.5)(a), C.R.S., for the Urban Renewal Plan for the Wyndham Hill Town
Center IJrban Renewal Project (the "IJrban Renewal Plan"). The information in this report is
based upon estimates of development projected to occur commencing in 2016. The development
estimates are based on significant assumptions. Some assumed market conditions and economic
circumstances may not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances will occur
subsequent to the date of this report. Therefore, the actual results achieved during the urban
renewal project will likely vary from the projections. The following information follows the
format dictated by the statute.
(I) The Estimated Duration of Time to Complete the Urban Renewal Project.
As provided in the Urban Renewal Plan it is anticipated that at least 25 years will be required to
carry out the Urban Renewal Project.
(II) Estimated Annual Property Tax Increment to be Generated by the Urban Renewal Project
and the Portion of Such Property Tax Increment to be Allocated During This Period to Fund the
Urban Renewal Project.
The Urban Renewal Plan states that the full 25-year period for allocation of property tax
increment revenue will be required to pay the bonds (including refunding bonds), notes, interim
certificates or receipts, temporary bonds, certificates of indebtedness, debentures, and other
financial obligations (as defined in Section 31 -25- 103, C.R. S.) incurred by the Frederick Urban
Renewal Authority (the "Authority") to carry out the Urban Renewal Project.
Because the improvements to be constructed in the Urban Renewal Area are buildings that
produce less tax revenue relative to more intense land uses and improvements, project costs and
indebtedness are anticipated to exceed available tax increment revenue. The annual revenue
anticipated to be allocated to the special fund created by Section 31 -25-107(9)(a)(II), C.R.S.,
from the property tax levy of Weld County is set forth in the attachment to this report.
Property tax increment from the Weld County levy against the tax increment assessment roll
begins with $35,094 in 2017 which is the year construction will begin. The final year of 2040
will provide $934,857 in the last year that property tax allocated by law will be paid into the
special fund. The total amount projected to be allocated from the County levy is $ 15,790,689.
The statute allocates all of the property tax increment to the special fund during the 25-year
period that indebtedness is outstanding to fund the Urban Renewal Project.
(III) Estimate of the Impact of the Urban Renewal Project on County Revenues and on the
Cost and Extent of Additional County Infrastructure and Services Required to Serve
Development Within the Proposed Urban Renewal Area and the Benefit of Improvements
Within the Urban Renewal Area to Existing County Infrastructure.
Based on the latest available information from the Weld County Assessor, the actual value of the
Urban Renewal Area is $ 14,703 and the current assessed value is $4,264. For the purposes of
this report it is assumed that the base value for 2015, the anticipated base year to be established
in accordance with Section 31 -25- 107(9)(a)(I), C.R.S., is $4,264.
The proposed Urban Renewal Area is entirely within the boundaries of the Town of Frederick.
The Urban Renewal Area will be developed by constructing a hotel and conference facility as
well as a major retail commercial center that will cater to the community and serve as a regional
draw for the area. Total construction area will be approximately 1 million square feet and the
corresponding public infrastructure required for the private improvements. Construction is
anticipated to commence in 2017 and it is projected that construction will be completed in 2022.
It is not anticipated that the County will be required to provide any public improvements, police,
fire, utility or other specific County infrastructure or services to serve the area in the Urban
Renewal Plan. The Urban Renewal Project is not adding any residential units to the area, and it
is not expected that any additional demands (direct or indirect) will impact County services such
as health and human services that will not be covered by the County's property tax levy against
the base value as it grows pursuant to reassessment as provided in Section 31 -25- 107(9)(e),
C.R.S.
iV <tatrsment of the h/4Pthnd 1 ineler Whir+ tha 4nnthnrity Will Rinanre any Additinna1
County Infrastructure and Services Required to Serve Development in the Urban Renewal Area
for the Period in Which the Tax Increment Revenue Resulting From the County's Levy is
Allocated to the Authority.
As stated above, the County will not be expected to provide any infrastructure or services to
serve the area in the Urban Renewal Plan, including such County services such as health and
human services. The County will receive increased revenue from the base assessed value as it
grows from the bi-annual statutory reassessment process.
V. Other Estimated Impacts of the Urban Renewal Project on County Services or Revenues.
The projected development of the Urban Renewal Area as a regional destination and lodging and
conference facility is not expected to result in any unusual or other impact on County services or
revenues. No additional County infrastructure will be required to service the public and private
units to be constructed in the Area. A metropolitan district and PIF is currently in place if
necessary to construct and service public improvements.
