BACKGROUND:
On September 22, 2020, the City Council provided direction to staff to establish an Urban Decay Tax Abatement Area. A portion of the East Village Growth Cell TIF is proposed to be included with the Urban Decay Tax Abatement Area. In order to be included in the Urban Decay Tax Abatement Area, the property needs to removed from the TIF. In lieu of eligibility for TIF incentives, the remove properties will become eligible for the tax abatement incentives pursuant to the Urban Decay Tax Abatement Area Ordinance.
Director Black has generally summarized the composition of the parcels to be removed from the East Village TIF and made part of the Urban Decay Abatement Area as follows:
* 107 total parcels in the area.
* All parcels are zoned for multi-family residential use.

* Of the approximately 41 single-family use dwellings, approximately 14 are owner-occupied (13%).
* 28 of the 107 parcels are tax exempt and therefore pay no property taxes (26%).
* Of the properties that are taxable:
o The average assessed value is about $11,000. This would translate into an estimated average market value of about $33,000.
o The highest assessed value property is approximately $44,000 (market value of $132,000).
o The lowest assessed value property is approximately $910 (market value of $2,730)
