Transportation Development District Application Criteria Matrix
Criteria Yes/No Explanation
  One of the following three is required:    
  1) Does the proposed project redevelop a blighted property or is it sited in an area with particularly difficult transportation issues? No Largely a greenfield
  2) Does the proposed project provide unique retail for the City or an innovative mixed-use design? Maybe Commission views would be appropriate.  It has some elements of traditional neighborhood design, but also something of a hybrid between TND and more standard suburban design
  3) Does the transportation element of the project exceed City requirements? Yes Project exceeds code requirements at minimum on: roundabout, lighting, landscaping.
  The following are optional but can result in a more favorable evaluation of a project:
  a) Does the project use pay-as-you-go financing instead of bond obligations? No Although this will not be pay-as-you-go, developer is minimizing City risk by only seeking special obligation bonds after retail is built and has been operating for a period of time.
  b) Are at least 15% of the TDD-eligible costs paid for by the applicant? Yes Developer capped from receiving more than $5 million of TDD-eligible costs.  There appears to be at least $5.8 million in TDD-eligible costs.
