TIF 3 held as a placeholder pending potential housing development

Jul 16, 2026

Staff characterized TIF 3 as a long-range placeholder driven by a hypothetical major housing project; for 2027 the commission showed only a small attorney-fee request for TIF 3 and will reconsider larger allocations if a development materializes.

The full story

Staff told commissioners that TIF 3 had been included in prior conceptual plans with large placeholder figures to show potential capacity if a major housing development occurred, but that for 2027 there is effectively no money to spend beyond a small attorney fee. "We put it in the hypothetical spending plan at 1,000,000 dollars each year... but we don't think it would happen next year," staff said, and noted the only near-term TIF 3 expense shown is an attorney fee of about $3,500.
