RESOLUTION NO.__________

CITY OF OMAHA LEGISLATIVE CHAMBER

Omaha, Nebraska

RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OMAHA:

WHEREAS, the primary objectives of the City of Omaha's Master Plan and Community Development Program are to encourage additional private investment and infill development within inner-city neighborhoods; and to eliminate conditions which are detrimental to public health, safety and welfare, by developing vacant or underutilized property within these neighborhoods; and,

WHEREAS, the approximately 1.34 acre redevelopment project site located at 119 North 72nd Street, legally described in Exhibit “A”, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, is within a designated community redevelopment area, as the area meets the definition of blight and substandard per the Community Development Law and is in need of redevelopment; and,

WHEREAS, Section 18-2108 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes requires the City

of Omaha to adopt a redevelopment plan before taking an active part in a redevelopment project; including the division of ad valorem taxes for a period not to exceed fifteen years under Sections 18-2147 through 18-2150, Revised Statutes of Nebraska; and, WHEREAS, the Furniture Row Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Redevelopment Project Plan (“Plan”) for the redevelopment project site proposes renovation of a one-story retail building for reuse as an indoor parking structure with 135 stalls, and new construction of 158 market-rate apartment units to be integrated into and partially on top of the existing building, to include about 3,000 square feet of office use, as described in Exhibit "B", attached hereto and herein incorporated by reference, with the use of TIF as authorized by Section 18-2147 of the Nebraska Revised Statues; and, WHEREAS, the Plan conforms to the City of Omaha’s Master Plan and the legislative declarations and determinations of the Community Development Law, as the redevelopment project would not be economically feasible and would not occur at the redevelopment project site without the use of TIF; and WHEREAS, the costs and benefits of the redevelopment project, including their impact on other political subdivisions, have been analyzed and found to be in the long-term best interest of the community and the local economy, and the redevelopment project will satisfy an identified demand for the public and private services it will provide; and, WHEREAS, the Plan for the redevelopment project site was approved by the TIF Committee and subsequently by the City of Omaha Planning Board at the August 7, 2019 meeting; and,

City of Omaha Planning Department Planning Board Memo

To: Chairman and Members of the Planning Board

From: David K. Fanslau Planning Director

Date: July 31, 2019

Subject: FURNITURE ROW TIF REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT PLAN 119 North 72nd Street Case #C3-19-139

Project Description

Background: The project site, located on the east side of 72nd Street across from the Target store and the Crossroads Mall, is occupied by a one story commercial building constructed in 1961.

Existing Land Use and Conditions of the Redevelopment Site: The site is presently occupied by an aging one story commercial building that has been vacant for several years. The site has very little landscaping and paved parking area needs improvement. Vehicular access is via a curb cut providing a direct connection to 72nd street. The curb cut is within a few feet of the curb cut into Capitol Court – a private parcel that serves as a private access road for a few properties in the immediate vicinity.

Proposed Use and Project Details: The existing building and its basement will be renovated and reused as a two level indooor parking structure with 122 stalls. Five (5) surface parking stalls will also be developed, providing a total of 127 onsite parking stalls A new five story apartment building will be constructed on the site, integrated into and partially on top of the existing building. There will be a total of 158 market rate apartment units. These will consist of 128 studio/efficiency units and 30 one bedroom units.

The access point onto North 72nd Street will be removed, improving safety on the heavily traveled roadway, and the Capitol Court access will be reconstructed and improved. The site will have additional greenspace added and overhead utility lines will be placed underground.

The project is on a parcel with ACI zoning. The building design drawings and description of materials have been submitted to City Planning for design review. The proposal is considered consistent with the ACI standards, and the project design is viewed favorably.

The Developer is J Development Company LLC, Julie Stavneak and Jim Royer, managers.

The applicant anticipates construction beginning in November 2019, with project completion by approximately July, 2021.

Case Number: C3-19-039 Page 2 DS

New Construction: Yes, with some building rehabilitation included Acres: Approximately 1.3 # of Buildings: 1 Building Height(s): 5 stories

Parking Plan for Proposed Project: Sufficient on-site parking is included in the plan, with a total of 127 stalls, which is comprised of 122 stalls in the two level parking structure and an additional 5 parallel parking stalls to be developed on the adjacent Capitol Court.

Analysis The project site is located within a Community Redevelopment Area, meets the requirements of Nebraska Community Development Law and qualifies for the submission of an application for the utilization of Tax Increment Financing to cover costs associated with project development as submitted for approval through the Tax Increment Financing process. The project is/or will be in compliance with the Master Plan, appropriate Ordinances and development regulations of the City.

This infill redevelopment project serves to expand housing choices in the central Omaha, utilizing a long vacant building to provide compact, dense residential infill development very near the Dodge Street public transit corridor. Ultimately, this project plan will enhance the tax base for various taxing jurisdictions within Omaha and the state. The project would not be feasible without the assistance of the TIF Program.

The project is in compliance with the City’s Master Plan. The project furthers goals outlined in the Concept Element of the Master Plan, including providing “good quality housing” options in a “mix of patterns, types, and styles” (p. 19) and creating “a series of high-density, mixed-use areas throughout the city” (p. 18). The proposed project also supports the visions of the Urban Design and Transportation Elements of the Master Plan, which specifically call for more dense, walkable mixed use development in the vicinity of 72nd and Dodge (Urban Design Element p. 30; Transportation Element p. 54). In addition, the project would align with the draft Transit-Oriented Development goals recommended as amendments to the Urban Design, Transportation, and Land Use Elements of the Master Plan. These goals, which were recommended for approval by Planning Board in July 2019, support development that facilitates walkability, transit use, and pedestrian activity and safety in proximity to new bus rapid transit stations along Dodge Street.

No Building Permit will be issued based on a site plan that does not comply with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.

RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

INTER-OFFICE COMMUNICATION

Date: July 11, 2019

To: TIF Committee: David Fanslau, Stephen Curtiss, AL Herink, Paul Kratz, Robert Stubbe, Bridget Hadley, Todd Pfitzer, Troy Anderson

From: Don Seten - City Planning

Applicant: City of Omaha Planning Department

Project Name: Furniture Row TIF Redevelopment Project Plan

Location: 119 North 72nd Street

Request: The TIF request is for up to $2,861,000 at an interest rate of 5.25%, inclusive of capitalized interest. Using the levy rate of 2.23667% and other assumptions of the TIF calculation spreadsheets, the TIF request is supported using estimated cost and estimated market approaches.

TIF Fee Schedule: $500 application fee paid; the processing fee of $3,000 will be collected; $31,110 in administrative fees will be collected. Total fees will be $34,610.

TIF Justification: The project site is located within a Community Redevelopment Area, meets the requirements of Nebraska Community Development Law and qualifies for the submission of an application for the utilization of Tax Increment Financing to cover costs associated with project development as submitted for approval through the Tax Increment Financing process. The project is/or will be in compliance with the Master Plan, appropriate Ordinances and development regulations of the City.

This infill redevelopment project serves to expand housing choices in the central Omaha, utilizing a long vacant building to provide compact, dense residential infill development very near the Dodge Street public transit corridor. Ultimately, this project plan will enhance the tax base for various taxing jurisdictions within Omaha and the state. The project would not be feasible without the assistance of the TIF Program.

ROI Statement: The City of Omaha considers a project's ROI as part of the TIF review, but has not established a specific, numeric ROI threshold. The large number of variables involved in TIF projects would make any such threshold arbitrary, and potentially inequitable. The project variables include the project type, the geographic location, the project's market demand and competition, as well as the financial strength and positioning, and the experience of the project developer.

The ROI of a redevelopment project is based on the risk/reward that the applicant is willing to accept to fulfill redevelopment goals of the City of Omaha. The risk/reward of TIF projects vary by many of the variables previously mentioned. As a result, the ROI an applicant projects will vary across projects. . The ROIs stated in the application are as follows:

ROI With TIF 10.1% ROI Without TIF 3.7%

The project is in compliance with the City’s Master Plan. The project furthers goals outlined in the Concept Element of the Master Plan, including providing “good quality housing” options in a “mix of patterns,

Page 11: CITY OF OMAHA · The use of TIF for the project will not result in a loss of pre -existing tax revenues to the City and other taxing jurisdictions. No loss of pre-existing tax revenues

types, and styles” (p. 19) and creating “a series of high-density, mixed-use areas throughout the city” (p. 18). The proposed project also supports the visions of the Urban Design and Transportation Elements of the Master Plan, which specifically call for more dense, walkable mixed use development in the vicinity of 72nd and Dodge (Urban Design Element p. 30; Transportation Element p. 54). In addition, the project would align with the draft Transit-Oriented Development goals recommended as amendments to the Urban Design, Transportation, and Land Use Elements of the Master Plan. These goals, which were recommended for approval by Planning Board in July 2019, support development that facilitates walkability, transit use, and pedestrian activity and safety in proximity to new bus rapid transit stations along Dodge Street.

TIF eligible costs are site acquisition, site preparation work, the portion of hard construction costs attributable to rehabilitation of the existing building, architectural and engineering costs, and public improvements. TIF eligible costs total approximately $4,502,487. The total estimated project costs are $17,760,000.

TIF Eligible Expenses Amount Site Acquisition $ 2,100,000 Site Preparation, Demolition and Grading $ 174,277 Rehabilitation of Existing Structure; Hard Costs $ 1,315,600 Public Improvements (Landscaping, Capitol Court, Undergrounding Utilities) $ 258,000 Architecture & Engineering $ 620,000 Subtotal $ 4,456,877 TIF Fees $ 34,610 Total TIF Eligible Expenses $ 4,502,487

The TIF is 16.1 percent of the total project costs.

Recommendation: Approval.

Project Description

The project site is occupied by a one story retail building that has been vacant for several years. The building will be renovated and reused as an indoor parking structure with 122 stalls. A new five story apartment building will be constructed on the site, integrated into and partially on top of the existing building. There will be a total of 158 market rate apartment units. These will consist of 128 studio/efficiency units and 30 one bedroom units.

One access point on to North 72nd Street will be removed, improving safety on the heavily used North 72nd Street. The Capitol Court access will be reconstructed and improved. The site will have additional greenspace added, overhead utility lines will be placed underground, and five additional surface parking stalls will be added along Capitol Court.

The project is on a parcel with ACI zoning. The building design drawings and description of materials have been submitted to City Planning for design review. The proposal is considered consistent with the ACI standards, and the project design is viewed favorably.

The Developer is Jay Development Company, LLC.

The applicant anticipates construction beginning in November 2019, with project completion by approximately July, 2021.

Evaluation Criteria: Mandatory Criteria – from the TIF application

1. The project must be located within a blighted area or an area eligible for a designationof blight as required and set forth by Nebraska statute.

The project is currently located within a Community Redevelopment Area.

2. The project must further the objections of the City’s Master Plan.

The Furniture Row Redevelopment furthers the objectives of the City’s Master Plan in thefollowing ways: Increasing densification of the urban core – The Furniture RowRedevelopment will be an extremely dense development with approximately 118 units peracre. Revitalization of older neighborhood communities – The Furniture Row will bring newhousing options to a blighted and neglected part of Omaha. As developers have focused onnearby Aksarben Village, downtown Omaha, midtown Omaha, and far West Omaha, the 72nd& Dodge “core” has been overlooked and forgotten. Furthermore, the area has suffered fromthe stigma of the dying Crossroads Mall property for well over a decade.Implementation of Urban Design elements – The development team will work with CityPlanning to design an attractive and appealing project that incorporates Urban Designelements.

Job creation – The project will generate approximately 200 construction jobs, 2 full-timemanagement jobs, and 1 part-time management job. Business growth – J DevelopmentCompany is a locally-owned business that is seeking to grow its operations with projects suchas the Furniture Row Redevelopment in the City of Omaha. Additionally, the developmentteam consists of several other locally-owned and growing firms that will benefit from theFurniture Row Redevelopment, including dozens of locally-owned subcontractors in thevarious building trades.

3. The use of TIF for the project will not result in a loss of pre-existing tax revenues to theCity and other taxing jurisdictions.

No loss of pre-existing tax revenues are anticipated.

4. The developer is able to demonstrate that the project would not be economically feasiblewithout the use of Tax Increment Financing. In addition, if the project has sitealternatives, the proposal must demonstrate that it would not occur in the areawithout TIF. Return on investment assists in determining the economic feasibility ofthe project.

The Furniture Row Redevelopment would not be economically feasible without TIF. JDevelopment company would be required to raise $4,846,000 of investment capital withoutTIF. This would be an impossible feat given that the projected returns to investors would beonly 3.7%. Utilizing TIF reduces the amount of investment capital required and improves proforma returns to investors to just over 10%. Furthermore, J Development Company does notknow of any alternative sites for this project Redevelopment opportunities in this area areextremely rare and difficult to secure. Finally, this project presents several challenges due tothe reuse and conversion of the existing building, the site urban site, and the integration ofnew construction into and above the existing structure. All of these challenges, and more, addto project costs and stress the economic feasibility of the deal.

.Cost-Benefit Analysis – from the TIF application

1. Tax Shifts resulting from the approval of the use of funds pursuant tosection 18-2147 (of the Community Development Law):

No tax shifts are anticipated as a result of this project.

2. Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and localtax impacts arising from projects receiving incentives:

This project will not create any community public service needs and TIF will be used towards the costs of necessary public improvements.

3. Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding withinthe boundaries of the area of redevelopment project:

As discussed, the Furniture Row Redevelopment will target students and young professionals. As local institutions such as UNO, Children’s Hospital & Medical Center, Creighton University Medical Center Bergan Mercy, and UNMC continue to grow, invest in our community, and attract new employees to the area, it will be critical that high-quality housing options keep up to meet this demand to support these local institutions.

4. Impacts on employers and employees within the city and the immediate areathat is located outside of the boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project:

As discussed, the Furniture Row Redevelopment is conveniently located along the new ORBT public transit system, thereby providing tenants with easy access to all parts of Omaha. Therefore, tenants will be able to live at 72nd & Dodge and easily commute to work downtown, or even further west than previously before.

5. Impacts on student populations and school districts within the project area:

J Development Company anticipates that the Furniture Row Redevelopment will be most attractive to a younger, single, and student demographic. Although families will always be welcome at the community, the smaller studio/efficiency and 1-bedroom apartments may not be as suitable for family living. Therefore, a very limited impact or addition to student populations of school districts is anticipated.

6. Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to theconsideration of costs and benefits arising from the development project:

None Anticipated.

I) Narrative

A. Project Land Use Plan

A detailed project description should include the type of project – commercial development, mixed-use development, housing development, business expansion, etc., any vacancy history of the property, any code enforcement history, demographic of target market(s) for housing development, summary of employment element, a brief history of the business.

Existing Land Use and Conditions of the Redevelopment Site The building is currently

vacant, and has been for several years. The site is prominently situated at the intersection of

72nd & Dodge Streets, one of the busiest intersections in the City of Omaha. According to the

Omaha Public Works Department’s 2018 traffic count report, over 81,000 vehicles pass by the

empty Furniture Row building each day. Despite its premier location, the building has been

subject to vandalism and neglect, and continues to be a severe eyesore and blight on the City of

Omaha.

Proposed Use and Project Details, include number of buildings and height(s) The development

team will renovate and reuse the existing building by converting it into a two-story indoor

parking structure providing approximately 135 climate-controlled parking stalls.

Improvements to the site will also be made, including the addition of green space and retaining

walls. The main feature of the redevelopment effort will be a newly constructed five-story

market-rate mixed-use office and housing structure, which will be integrated into and built

above the existing building. The new building will feature 135 studio/efficiency apartments, 23

1-bedroom apartments, a lobby, and amenity spaces. Furthermore, approximately 3,000 SF of

leasable office space will be located on the ground floor of the building overlooking 72nd

Street.

J Development Company provides its own in-house property management services. The

company anticipates hiring one full-time property manager, one part-time leasing specialist,

and one full-time maintenance technician for the ongoing operations of this project once

complete.

Parking Plan for Proposed Project The project will provide approximately 135 indoor

parking stalls by renovating, reusing, and converting the existing building into a two-story

parking structure. Tenants will access the first level of parking via the southern elevation of

the building, by turning off of Capitol Court. A ramp on the east side of the property will

provide access to the basement level of parking. Additional parking stalls will be provided as

part of improvements that will be made to Capitol Court and along the southern property line

of the site.

Market Demand for Proposed Project J Development Company has seen tremendous

demand for studio/efficiency apartments during the lease-up of the Centerline Apartments.

Studios and efficiencies have been the first units to lease primarily because they are offered at

a much more affordable price point. As generational changes continue to influence the

apartment market, J Development Company believes that tenants will sacrifice unit size in

exchange for location, convenience, quality, and overall price. The Furniture Row

redevelopment will be targeted primarily to Omaha’s young working professionals and

undergraduate and graduate students at UNO, College of Saint Mary, Methodist College,

Creighton University Medical Center at Bergan Mercy, and UNMC. J Development Company

also anticipates that the $450 million expansion currently underway at Children’s Hospital &

Medical Center will create many new jobs in the coming years and an enormous need for new,

quality housing in the immediate vicinity that currently does not exist.

Furthermore, the Furniture Row redevelopment site is located within a very short walk to a

proposed Omaha Rapid Bus Transit (ORBT) station located at 72nd & Dodge. Creating

housing density along this new public transit route will be critical to its ongoing success, and

the ORBT will in turn be an invaluable amenity to this new housing community.

B. Zoning Plan – Current and Proposed; include any city staff concerns and comments The current zoning is GC-ACI-2(65). The development team has had several meetings with City

of Omaha Planning and Public Works staff to discuss the redevelopment effort and the zoning and site issues that will need to be addressed. The City has been very supported of this project and has indicated that the proposed use is in line with the City’s future planning and development goals. The development team submitted a site plan review to the City on May 22, 2019, which is currently under review. In this submission, the development team proposed adding a Planned Unit Redevelopment (PUR) overlay to the existing zoning classification. The development team remains open to feedback and guidance from City staff site and zoning issues and will continue to work in good faith to address outstanding concerns, if any.

C. Public Improvements Plan, also talk about any traffic concerns, if any; include any city staff concerns and comments The redevelopment of the site will include the elimination of the existing curb cut from 72nd Street

that provides direct access to the property. Instead, tenants will access the site by turning east off of 72nd Street onto Capitol Court, and then turning north onto the property. Eliminating the existing curb cut onto the property, which is located directly north of and adjacent to the Capitol Court curb cut, “cleans up” the traffic access along that portion of 72nd Street and creates a safer situation for drivers. A traffic study has not been required by Omaha Public Works Department. Public improvements to the property include, but are not limited to: Landscaping at the southwest corner of the property, near the main lobby entrance Improvements to the southern property line including new sidewalks and new on-street parking Improvements to Capitol Court

D. Historical Status: indicate whether or not the building(s) has been designated as a local

landmark and if the building(s) are on the National Register of Historic Places No historical status applicable.

C. Final Estimated Valuation and Justification - Add brief discussion regarding what the most probable final valuation will be and the methodology used to establish the final valuation.

J Development Company estimates the most probable final valuation to be $16,511,000 based on an average value of $104,500 per unit, which is comparable to other properties in the market. Furthermore, a valuation of $16,511,000 would equate to an approximate capitalization rate of 7.0%, a reasonable estimate for the Omaha market historical average.

Please see attachments

V) Statement of Need and ROI Analysis (with and without TIF) – In the Statement of Need section, talk about the challenging conditions of the redevelopment site which require the assistance of TIF. The ROI Analysis is “with” and “without TIF”.

Please see attached spreadsheet detailing ROI analysis with and without TIF. Without TIF, J Development Company would not be able to attract investment capital to the project as the proposed ROI would be an unacceptable 4.1%. Therefore, the project would not move forward. Utilizing TIF increases ROI to just over 10%, an acceptable and attractive return for investors. Furthermore, this project presents several challenges due to the reuse and conversion of the existing building, the site urban site, and the intergration of new construction into and above the existing structure. All of these challenges, and more, add to project costs and stress the economic feasibility of the deal.

VI) Evaluation Criteria: Mandatory Criteria - A project must meet each of the following criteria; briefly discuss how this project meets each criteria. Include each statement with your response.

1. The project must be located within a community redevelopment area or an area eligible for a

designation of community redevelopment area as required and set forth by State Statute. The project must be located within a community redevelopment area prior to the preparation of a Redevelopment Plan, refer to Attachment 1 – Community Redevelopment Area map. Requirements for community redevelopment areas are found in Appendix One and Two. The project is currently located within a Community Redevelopment Area.

2. The use of TIF for the project will not result in a loss of pre-existing tax revenues to the City and other taxing jurisdictions. No loss of pre-existing tax revenues are anticipated.

3. The developer is able to demonstrate that the project would not be economically feasible

without the use of TIF. In addition, when the project has site alternatives, the proposal must demonstrate that it would not occur in the area without TIF. Return on investment assists in determining the economic feasibility of the project. The Furniture Row Redevelopment would not be economically feasible without TIF. J Development company would be required to raise $4,773,055 of investment capital without TIF. This would be an impossible feat given that the projected returns to investors would be only 4.1%. Utilizing TIF reduces the amount of investment capital required and improves pro forma returns to investors to just over 10%. Furthermore, J Development Company does not know of any alternative sites for this project.

12 | P a g e planninghcd.cityofomaha.org/tif

Redevelopment opportunities in this area are extremely rare and difficult to secure. Finally, this project presents several challenges due to the reuse and conversion of the existing building, the site urban site, and the intergration of new construction into and above the existing structure. All of these challenges, and more, add to project costs and stress the economic feasibility of the deal.

4. The project must further the objectives of the City’s Master Plan. This may include job creation, application/implementation of Urban Design elements of the project and related/adjacent public areas, preservation of historic sites and structures, revitalization of older neighborhood communities, business start-ups, business growth and expansion, and the densification of the urban core. The Furniture Row Redevelopment furthers the objectives of the City’s Master Plan in the following ways: Increasing densification of the urban core – The Furniture Row Redevelopment will be an extremely dense development with approximately 118 units per acre. Revitalization of older neighborhood communities – The Furniture Row will bring new housing options, jobs, and office space to a blighted and neglected part of Omaha. As developers have focused on nearby Aksarben Village, downtown Omaha, midtown Omaha, and far West Omaha, the 72nd & Dodge “core” has been overlooked and forgotten. Furthermore, the area has suffered from the stigma of the dying Crossroads Mall property for well over a decade. Implementation of Urban Design elements – The development team will work with City Planning to design a attractive and appealing project that incorporates Urban Design elements. Job creation – The project will generate approximately 200 construction jobs, 2 full-time management jobs, and 1 part-time management job. Business growth – J Development Company is a locally-owned business that is seeking to grow its operations with projects such as the Furniture Row Redevelopment in the City of Omaha. Additionally, the development team consists of several other locally-owned and growing firms that will benefit from the Furniture Row Redevelopment, including dozens of locally-owned subcontractors in the various buildind trades.

13 | P a g e planninghcd.cityofomaha.org/tif

VII) Cost-Benefit Analysis – Respond to each statement; include any quantitative analysis (Community Development Law §18-2113 (2))

1. Tax shifts resulting from the division of taxes as provided in section 18-2147; No tax shifts are anticipated as a result of this project.

2. Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project; This project will not create any community public service needs and TIF will be used towards the costs of necessary public improvements.

3. Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project; As discussed, the Furniture Row Redevelopment will target students and young professionals.

As local institutions such as UNO, Children’s Hospital & Medical Center, Creighton University Medical Center Bergan Mercy, and UNMC continue to grow, invest in our community, and attract new employees to the area, it will be critical that high-quality housing options keep up to meet this demand to support these local institutions.

4. Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the immediate

area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project; As discussed, the Furniture Row Redevelopment is conveniently located along the new ORBT public transit system, thereby providing tenants with easy access to all parts of Omaha. Therefore, tenants will be able to live at 72nd & Dodge and easily commute to work downtown, or even further west than previously before.

5. Impacts on the student populations of school districts within the city or village; and J Development Company anticipates that the Furniture Row Redevelopment will be most attractive to a younger, single, and student demographic. Although families will always be welcome at the community, the smaller studio/efficiency and 1-bedroom apartments may not be as suitable for family living. Therefore, a very limited impact or addition to student populations of school districts is anticipated.

6. Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project Enter Text
