FC2 How much land is set aside for tax-generating uses vs. tax-exempt uses? Indicators . Extent to which the plan allocates land to taxable and non-taxable uses. . Extent to which early development areas identified in the plan will serve as magnets for other appropriate and desirable uses. All Plans: Each plan starts with a baseline amount ofland assigned to non-taxable use, in the form of the open- space framework. This framework occupies 828 acres, or about 35% of the site. OfficelIndustrial: In this plan, about 52% of the land is taxable, vs. 48 % that is not. This plan shows the highest ratio of taxable to non-taxable land among the four plans. The sites likely to be the earliest made available for development include a non-residential area fronting US 10, the office/commercial area on I-35W, and parts of the residential area in the center of the site. Because of the presence and current appearance of the National Guard depot, the residential area may not develop right away. Either of the non-residential areas, particularly the I-35W site, could set a positive tone for later development if properly guided. Overall rating: Good Town Center: This plan contains just over 50% taxable land, the second-highest ratio. The same sites identified in the OfficeJIndustrial plan as early-development possibilities would fulfill the same function here. Overall rating' Good Open Space: This plan contains the smallest amount of taxable land, only 17%. This means that, unless the sports complex became a tax-paying use, five-sixths of the site would be non-taxable. Otherrecreational areas could be "developed" almost immediately and would enhance the value of adjacent properties, but the sites fronting I-35W and US 10 are still likely to be the rrrstto develop. Overall rating: Poor Residential: This plan shows 45% of the land put to taxable use, of which two-thirds would be residential. The prime residential area in the east-central portion of the site would be a logical area to develop quickly, except for the poor image created by presence of the National Guard at its gateway. Overall rating' Fair FC3 How much infrastructnre (roadways, sewer lines, water serviee, and off-site storm drainage) must the City provide in advance of development? Indicators . Extent to which proposed uses will require infrastructure, and the nature of that infrastructure. . Extent to which the plan provides a site or sites that may be marketed and developed within five years of release, in order to generate revenues provide a togateway" to other sites. . Extent to which non-debt resources may be used to defray the cost of infrastructure improve-ments -- e.g., development contributions, state/county cost-sharing, etc. . Exteut to which early developments on the site are likely to consist of uses subject to taxation. AIl Plans: Ttwo sites common to all the plans could develop fairly quickly: a site on US 10, and the site north of!- 35W and County H. Both are accessible from existing roadways and within easy reach of the main sewer, so up- front invest-ment needs would be minimal. The City should ensure that these areas become "signature" sites to set the proper tone for later developments. It is possible that the special opportunity site could be developed by a non- taxable use; if this occurs, the City would have to ensure that the use, the user and the quality of development would attract taxable uses to other parts of TCAAP. In all the plans, interior streets (such as residential streets) would be provided and paid for by the development, at the time of development. Camiros, Ltd.lSEH, Inc'!LHDL, Ltd.
