Related bill: HF158

AI Generated Summary

Purpose

Location and scope

  • The eligible area includes parcels plus adjacent roads and rights-of-way within Eden Prairie, specifically bounded by Flying Cloud Drive, West 78th Street, and Prairie Center Drive.

Main provisions

  • Up to two redevelopment districts may be created in the Eden Prairie Center area.
  • If a TIF district is established, two special rules apply:
    • The districts are deemed to meet the requirements of Minnesota Statutes, section 469.174, subdivision 10.
    • Minnesota Statutes, section 469.176, subdivision 4j, does not apply to the district.
  • The authority to approve a TIF plan under this section expires on December 31, 2026.

Changes to existing law

  • Establishes special rules for Eden Prairie TIF districts that differ from standard statewide TIF requirements:
    • Excludes 469.176, subdivision 4j from applying to these districts.
    • Specifies that these districts are considered to meet 469.174, subdivision 10 requirements.
  • Sets a finite authorization window ending December 31, 2026.

Expiration / Sunset

  • The authority to approve a TIF plan under this section expires December 31, 2026.
