NOTICE OF REGULAR MEETING OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
OF THE CITY OF ST. GEORGE, WASHINGTON COUNTY, UTAH
Public Notice
Public notice is hereby given that the Neighborhood Redevelopment Agency of the City of St. George, Washington County, Utah, will hold a regular meeting in the Administrative Conference Room at the St. George City Offices located at 175 East 200 North, St. George, Utah, on Thursday, October 26, 2023 commencing at approximately 5:00 p.m.
The agenda for the meeting is as follows:
1. Public Hearing Related to the Tech Ridge Community Development Project Area and the Amended Project Area Plan and Amended Project Area Budget.
BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: On November 20, 2008, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of St. George (the 'Agency'), adopted a Project Area Plan and a Project Area Budget (the 'Plan' and 'Budget') for the St. George Airport Community Development Project Area. In December 2021 the City of St. George adopted the Tech Ridge Development Agreement which provides for a master-planned, mixed-use development within the project area that includes 1 million square feet of Class-A office space and mixed retail and residential. This development is anticipated to create 6,000 direct jobs and significantly grow the Technology Sector in Washington County. Due to the change in vision for the project, significant public infrastructure requirement and inflationary impact on cost, pursuant to statute 17C of the Utah Code, the Agency desires to amend the St. George Airport Community Project Area Plan and Project Area Budget documents. Proposed key amendments include: 1) Rename the project area to the Tech Ridge Community Development Area, 2) Extend the maximum duration of the CDA through December 31, 2055 (32 years), 3) Split the development into three tranches (phases) that will be triggered at different points and have a collection period of 26 years per tranche, and 4) increase the tax increment cap to $50 million in net present value. Tonight's item is to hold a public hearing to receive input from the public on the proposed amendments to the Tech Ridge Community Development Project Area, Amended Project Area Plan and Amended Project Area Budget.
2. Consider approval of Resolution No. RDA-2023-001R authorizing and approving the Amended Project Area Plan as the 'Official Plan' for the Tech Ridge Community Development Project Area; and related matters.
