Adopt/Not adopt the following Resolution:
A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE DOWNTOWN URBAN RENEWAL PLAN
FOR REAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION
ISSUE
STATEMENT:
Property at 740 A Street and two properties the Springfield Economic Development
Agency (SEDA) has entered a Letter of Intent for have not yet been included in the
Downtown Urban Renewal Plan.
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Proposed resolution
Exhibit A: Map of Properties
DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
The Downtown Urban Renewal Plan requires an amendment for any acquisition of
property for purposes outlined in Section 900.C of the Plan. Amendments to the
plan may be completed while in varying stages of negotiation or in anticipation of
potential future acquisition. The properties under discussion are the two tax lots
associated with the Letter of Intent (LOI) with The Motors, LLC. SEDA approved
entrance into this LOI on February 12, 2024. Pursuing this amendment is one of
SEDA’s due diligence items in that LOI.
Additionally, SEDA closed on the property at 740 A Street at the end of 2023 after
the completion of negotiations for loan forgiveness in exchange for the deed to the
property for the former Blue McKenzie project site.
The properties proposed to be added to the Plan are below and included in
Attachment 1’s Exhibit A:
• Property A- Map 17-03-35-42, Tax Lot 02200, approximately 0.31 acres,
• Property B- Map 17-03-35-42, Tax Lot 02000, approximately 0.51 acres,
• Property C- Map 17-03-35-42, Tax Lot 02300, approximately 0.27 acres.
Per the Downtown Urban Renewal Plan, SEDA has the authority to acquire
property within the urban renewal area to achieve the objectives of the Plan.
Inclusion of these properties in the Plan by amendment ensures that the property
acquired will be held to the objectives and requirements within the Plan.
SEDA is asked to adopt the amendments to the Downtown Urban Renewal Plan to
accurately reflect potential future acquisition of these properties for land assembly
and development.
The City Council will be asked to ratify the amendments subsequent to SEDA
approval as outlined in Section 700 of the Downtown Urban Renewal Plan. City
Council ratification is required when property is pursued for land assembly and
development by public or private sector parties.
