AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER TERMINATING TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (TIF) WITHIN THE CARONDELET VILLAGE REDEVELOPMENT AREA AND DISSOVING THE SPECIAL ALLOCATION FUND
City Manager Owens reported that the Board approved the Carondelet Village Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Redevelopment Plan on December 18, 2007 with Ordinance No. 6007. The area for redevelopment was to be located east of the Crescent, south of Forsyth Boulevard, and north of Carondelet Plaza Drive. The plan called for the construction of approximately 110,000 square feet of retail, 150-room hotel, theater, parking and approximately 109,000 square feet of office. The total project costs were to be approximately $127,682,318 with $36,798,847 being reimbursable through payments in lieu of taxes and economic activity taxes. The proposed developer never executed an agreement to carry out the project.

Alderman Winings introduced Bill No. 6695, an ordinance to approve the termination of the Carondelet Village Tax Increment Financing to be read for the first time by title only.

It is our understanding that this was previously the home for the pastor of the church. The listed price for this property is $450,000. The Board of Aldermen, at their June retreat, reaffirmed their commitment to expansion of greenspace throughout the City. Staff therefore thought it would make sense to at least consider the opportunity this space presented. It is a small site but could serve as a nice oasis along the city’s new bike route near Downtown Clayton. An appraisal was commissioned by the City of Clayton and estimated the value of the property at $340,000. As a result, the City negotiated with the property owners who have agreed to sell the property for $340,000. It is anticipated that the City can close on this property on or about October 29, 2018. Upon acquisition, the City will take steps to evaluate the property to decide the best course of action for its incorporation as a part of the City’s park system. The new park will serve not only the surrounding businesses, but all citizens of Clayton as well as the thousands of visitors that make their way to the City of Clayton each year. Mayor Sanger clarified that the asking price was $450,000 and the City offered $340,000 (appraisal amount) which was accepted by the seller. Alderman Winings introduced Bill No. 6696, an ordinance to approve a contract to purchase property at 7811 Maryland Avenue to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Boulton seconded.
