c. The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum duration of the district <br />permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be $24,237,238. (see table on previous page) <br />d. Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur, the Council finds <br />that no alternative would occur that would produce a market value increase greater than <br />$62,624,362 (the amount in clause b less the amount in clause c) without tax increment <br />assistance. <br />Finding that the TIF Plan for the District conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of <br />the municipality as a whole. <br />The Council finds that the TIF Plan conforms to the general development plan of the City as a whole based upon <br />the following: <br />The conclusion and recommendation of City staff is that the TIF Plan is consistent with the City's <br />comprehensive plan based upon the following information and City actions. The development <br />contemplated for the District consists of an approximately 1,200,000 square foot office campus for <br />Medtronic. On January 10, 2005, both the City and EDA authorized work associated with the <br />preparation of a comprehensive plan amendment for the development site in the District. On February <br />2, 2005, the Planning Commission for the City approved a recommendation to the City Council as to the <br />approval of a comprehensive plan amendment revising the land use designation for the development site <br />in the District from Outdoor Sport Recreation (SRO) and Passive Open Space (OSP) to Office (OFC). <br />On May 9, 2005, the City Council established the date of May 23, 2005 for a public hearing to consider <br />approval of the comprehensive land use amendment for the development site in the District (the public <br />hearing was held on May 23, 2005, but adoption of the amendment was deferred to a later date). On July <br />11, 2005, the City Council approved the amendment to the City's comprehensive plan amending the <br />designated land use for the development site in the District from SRO and OSP to OFC. In conjunction <br />with the comprehensive plan amendment referenced herein, the City also worked on and approved the <br />final draft of the Bridges Office Development Alterriative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) document <br />on July I1, 2005, of which the comprehensive plan amendment discussed herein was a required <br />component. On July 20, 2005, the Planning Commission confirmed that the proposed sale of the <br />development site in the District to Medtronic was consistent with the City's comprehensive plan. On <br />August 3, 2005, the Planning Commission did not approve a resolution finding that the TIF Plan for the <br />District conformed to the general plan for the development and redevelopment of the City as a whole. <br />However, consistent with the previous actions of both the Planning Commission and City Council as to <br />the comprehensive plan amendment referenced herein, the adoption ofthe AUAR referenced herein, and <br />the conclusions and recommendations of City staff, the Council finds that the TIF Plan and the office <br />development contemplated therein conforms to the general development plan for the City as a whole as <br />the designated land use for the development site within the District is now properly that of Office (OFC), <br />which is consistent with the office complex development proposed to be constructed by Medtronic at the <br />development site within the District. <br />• APPENDIX F-4 <br />
