Body
Background and Key Issue
The Ritter Plaza Tax Increment Financing District is a "pay as you go" TIF. The City and Ritter Plaza, LLC entered into a Tax Increment Financing Contract that is dated November 12, 2008. The Contract was amended in 2015 to generally deal with market conditions, the timing of improvements and the completion of the project. There is one vacant lot left to be developed. The TIF Contract requires the City to consent to the transfer of property within the TIF area. This Ordinance will grant consent to the transfer of the described lot to HB Summit, LLC which intends to construct a pet store for lease to Pets Smart, Inc. This will be the first PetSmart store in Lee’s Summit. A copy of the Section of the TIF contract setting out the approval process is attached.
