Tax Increment Financing#3 Board Meeting PAGE 2 July 9,2019
Ms. Williams read a letter to the board which advised Mr. Haywood would not be in attendance
for meeting. Mr. Haywood has requested the TIF #3 boundary be moved to include Rosewoodverf
Avenue from Martin Luther King Boulevard to Duncan and Rosewood. Mr. Haywood also
requested the board exclude Thompson Road to Harding and Linda Lane from the TIF #3
boundary. Ms. Williams believes Mr. Haywood's request makes more sense to include more
areas with business potential. Mr. Haney asked if there was any investment from Mr. Haywood.
Ms. Williams advised she was not sure of his level of funding but did advise Mr. Haywood would
need private funding. Mr. Haywood has stated he already owns a business on 1209 Scott
Street, however, WCAD records do not show any ownership of land by Mr. Haywood.
Board members discussed flooding in areas on the Eastside. Mr. Andy Lee stated he believed
Rosewood was a natural fit but, majority was vacant residential. Staff noted zoning as
Residential Mixed Use (RMU) likely from 1984/85 when zoning was enacted. Much of this area
that is Single Family—2 (SF-2)would need to be rezoned to allow for his intended use.
Mr. Paul Menzies presented the question if the property owner was interested and moved
forward, he would need Planning & Zoning approval, then back to TIF board. Was this
something the board would consider for funding? Mr. Haney stated he wanted to see Mr.
Haywood take an active role in funding the project and doing exterior improvements. Mr. Haney
stated we only needed to take a "GAP" role in this project. Mr. Menzies stated the money from
TIF funds was a grant, a forgivable loan and required a minimum 5-year commitment. Ms.
Williams asked if staff had made Mr. Haywood aware that he would need to obtain rezoning
approval. It was stated that Mr. Haywood would have to own property first and then he would
need a conditional use permit as otherwise a rezone for one land parcel would constitute spot
zoning which is not permitted. Ms. Williams stated Mr. Haywood wanted to open up a
restaurant. Commissioner Mahler stated TIF funds are only meant to be an anchor for
development and not used in residential areas. Staff and councilor Chenault advised no other
inquires have been made about new development on Rosewood. Commissioner Mahler asked
what the opinion of the people on Rosewood was. Ms. Williams stated most are all renters but,
she would anticipate owners would want to sell if rezoned and values were raised.
Chairman Haney stated to the board, he believed this would need to be tabled until Mr.
Haywood could convene with the board and explain more about his proposal/project. Ms.
Williams agreed and there was consensus among board.
IV. OTHER BUSINESS

interested in funding. Mr. Haney advised not within TIF#3 boundaries.
