The City Center Development Agency is charged with the revitalization of downtown Tigard and im- plementation of the Urban Renewal Plan, approved by voters in May of 2006. The district’s source of funding is (property) tax increment financing, which represents a financing tool to assist with redevel- opment. When the CCDA was established, the assessed value of the district was frozen. Property taxes collected on any growth in assessed value above the frozen base (the tax increment) go to the CCDA. Tigard’s Urban Renewal District is less mature than nearby districts, and is very modestly sized geo- graphically and in terms of its debt capacity. The district’s redevelopment depends on public and pri- vate investment that creates a foundation for continued growth in the tax increment and will contrib- ute to revitalizing downtown. As with 2012-13, the 2013-14 budget year includes public investments using other funds planned on Main Street, and acquisition for future park development in downtown. The district is poised to use fund balance from the tax increment to secure private financing and invest in major developments or land purchases sometime in the coming year. Several urban renewal projects were accomplished in FY 2012-13. The City Center Development Agency (CCDA) awarded its first Targeted Improvement Grant to Symposium Coffee, a new business that has the potential to generate significant new activity in the downtown. The agency partnered with many new businesses and property owners to provide architectural design assistance and matching grant funding through its Façade Improvement Program. Construction has begun on the Burnham Street public parking lot, which will provide new options for downtown customers and employees. In addition, final designs for the Main Street Green Street project, largely funded by a $2.5 million grant from Metro, are complete and construction will begin in spring 2014. The project will deliver new side- walks and stormwater planters, and install energy-efficient LED lighting, street trees, and landscaping on Main Street between the railroad tracks and south to Pacific Highway. The city is also plans to pur- chase property for additional downtown open space. The adopted FY 2013-14 budget for the CCDA comprises $581,000 in projects recommended by the City Center Advisory Commission (CCAC). The budget includes continuation of the Façade Improve- ment and Targeted Improvement Programs as well as the following projects:  A Brownfields Initiative, which will facilitate the inventory, assessment and clean-up of po- tentially environmentally contaminated properties in downtown to encourage their redevel- opment  Design and construction of gateway improvements at each end of Main Street, including public artwork  Installation of distinctive lighting for the Fanno Creek Trail’s undercrossing of Pacific Highway CCDA - PAGE 3 FY 2013-2014 BUDGET TRANSMITTAL  Partnering with a developer to complete pre-development feasibility for a mixed use devel- opment at the Public Works yard and another downtown site. This depends on develop- ment partnership and obtaining another grant from Metro. All CCDA projects will be paid for by loans from the City of Tigard. $220,000 of the projects are paid for by carrying forward unspent loans from FY 2012-13; and the remaining $361,000 will be paid for by a loan from the City of Tigard General Fund which is fully repaid in the same fiscal year. If invest- ment prospects warrant, private financing will be pursued when a major project or land purchase with the potential to directly impact the tax increment has been identified. In the upcoming year, continuing to strengthen partnerships will establish a foundation for downtown revitalization. The agency is fortunate to have the commitment of the volunteer City Center Advisory Committee (CCAC) whose members actively advance the vision for redevelopment in Tigard’s down- town. The Chamber of Commerce will continue efforts to organize downtown events with city sup- port, and business and property owners have begun to articulate a positive vision for the urban renewal area.
