City of Centerville <br />Planning& Zoning Commission <br />August 2, 2005 <br />The Commission and Staff discussed the TIF plan. <br />Commissioner Klennert Hunt said she does not want to set restrictions as it could <br />backfire in the future because Councils change but a basic set of guidelines to consider <br />would be helpful. <br />City Administrator Larson clarified that this redevelops a publicly owned site not private <br />property. <br />Chair Hanson indicated he would like to set some guidelines for when TIF will be <br />granted. <br />City Administrator Larson asked the Commission to determine whether this type of <br />mixed-use development meets the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Chair Hanson indicated he has no issue with the mixed-use proposal as it seems to make <br />sense. <br />Commissioner Wright asked whether there have been any developers interested. <br />City Administrator Larson indicated that last month there was someone interested and <br />Staff asked them to wait until the City decides what it wants to do and whether grants are <br />available. <br />Commissioner Klennert Hunt asked whether this development would happen without <br />TIF. <br />City Administrator Larson indicated it probably would not. <br />Commissioner Wood said he feels it is reasonable for the commercial property and <br />commercial property is a benefit to Centerville as it helps with the tax base. <br />City Administrator Larson invited Commissioners to attend the worksession next <br />Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. to discuss downtown redevelopment planning. <br />Motion by Commissioner Klennert Hunt, seconded by Commissioner Pangell to <br />determine that this proposal meets the Comprehensive Plan requirements. All in <br />favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br />VI. DISCUSSIONITEMS <br />City Administrator Larson noted that in looking at the Comprehensive Plan, it looks like <br />the population will end up at just under 5,000 and there are some advantages in directing <br />that to end up over 5,000 for state aid for road construction. <br />Chair Hanson asked for an update on the Rehbein property. <br />Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br />
