A developer or property owner suggests a project for the central business
district. Once a basic framework for the project, which includes conceptual
designs, estimated cost of taxable investment, estimated value of
public improvements associated with the project (e.g. sidewalks, facades,
courtyards, parking) has been established, it is placed before the
Board of Directors for its consideration. If the Board chooses it
will make a financial commitment to the project based upon the public
benefit and the size of the private investment. Usually the developer/property
owner is required to return to the Board with final designs and budgets.
While the project is built, DDA staff and attorneys draft formal legal
agreements and assemble all supporting documentation. At the conclusion
of the project, the owner certifies to the County Assessor a specified
level of taxable improvements, the agreements are executed, and a
check is handed to the developer/property owner. |
