South Urban Gateway Analysis for Reinvestment (SUGAR) Senior Planner Zweber gave an overview of the South Urban Gateway Analysis for Reinvestment (“SUGAR”) Report. The SUGAR Committee consisted of a mix of business people, residents and public officials. The purpose of the analysis was to look at the area and determine how to work with current businesses and try and encourage redevelopment of the area. The City is not looking to be the redevel oper or do a TIF district. Maxfield Research was hired to do a market analysis over the next 20 years, taking into account the other current and planned commercial areas. The Committee summarizes their findings and makes recommendations in the SUGAR Report, including proposed comprehensive plan amendments, zoning ordinance changes, and public relations / marketing strategies and other implementation strategies. Two open houses were conducted to gain public input on the Committee’s recommendations. T here was generally positive feedback to the recommendations. Mayor Droste asked if a TIF district would make sense in this area. City Administrator Johnson said we should n’t rule anything out. Senior Planner Zweber stated the study may help us access other funding from other agencies, so we’ve effectively added funding options moving forward. Council member Demuth asked abo ut the B rownfield option and what other sites would fit this. Senior Planner Zweber st at e d Rick ’s Auto would probably fit th at, a nd potentially the old Carlson T ractor and the school district bus garage. Murgic’s A uto and the propane site may be eligi ble , as well. Council member Weisensel asked if TIF could be used in the smaller areas. Administrator Johnson stated that with a TIF District there are rules about how quickly the money is spent and there would need to be a long -term plan. Council member W eisensel stated the Port Authori ty had also discussed how the Buxton report would be included. Senior Planner Zweber stated this SUGAR report will help us guide Buxton as they move forward. However, the Buxton report wouldn’t have nece ssarily changed the recommendation s of the SUGAR committee. Council member Debettignies asked whether the existence of a TIF district would take away some of the other grant opportunities. Zweber stated it should not. Mayor Droste asked how we would communicate how this information is passed on to the businesses in the future. Zweber stated they have a lready been contacted by the gas stations. We ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING PROCEEDINGS AUGUST 19 , 2014 would need to continue to communicate with business es and act in ways to support th em and not harm them.
