BAC KG RO U N D The buildings at 101 East 15th Street, the former St. Mary's church and rectory, have been vacant or underutilized for several years. The Steeple Square Board has been working for several years to fundraise in an effort to redevelop all of the buildings on the former St. Mary's Church campus, located between 15th and 16th Streets along White Street. The redevelopment of the former school building at 1501 Jackson Street has created 12 apartments in the neighborhood, offering some programming from the Opening Doors non-profit for permanent support housing for some of the residents, with the remaining apartments available at market rate. DISCUSSION The plans for these buildings at Steeple Square include space for a daycare center, opportunities for job training, and event space for social and community activities at a cost of approximately $10 million, to be completed by October 1, 2019. The proposed Development Agreement provides for several incentives to encourage the $10 million redevelopment of the property. The key elements are as follows: 1. Fa�ade, Design & Planning, and Financial Consultant grants totaling up to a maximum of$35,000; and 2. 10 years of Tax Increment Finance (TIF) rebates of property tax increases. Additional terms and conditions of the disposition of the property are included in the attached Development Agreement. City Council has already approved Resolution 337-17 on October 12, 2017, which approved the Development Agreement subject to the public hearing required by law for the approval of tax increment financing obligations. BUDGETIMPACT The $35,000 in grants will be funded from the available Greater powntown TIF cash balance. RECOMMENDATION/ ACTION STEP Based on the importance of the City's goal to assist in redeveloping the downtown Washington Neighborhood area and former church and school sites, and the community service based reuse plans, I recommend the City Council adopt the attached resolution to approve the tax increment financing obligations in the development agreement.
