AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A LAND CLEARANCE FOR REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, COWORK LEE’S SUMMIT PROJECT, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE LAND CLEARANCE FOR REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY LAW, SECTIONS 99.300 TO 99.660 RSMo.
Key Issues:
If approved, the attached ordinance would authorize a Land Clearance for Redevelopment (LCRA) redevelopment project - real property tax abatement for a single parcel located at 210 SW Market Street. The property is located within the Downtown LCRA Urban Renewal Area and would entail the redevelopment of the vacant downtown post office into a shared co-work use with accessory uses.
The ordinance would authorize real property tax abatement of the parcel addressed as 210 SW Market St. (100% of increment and 50% of base valuation) subject to the execution of a development agreement that will be presented at a later date which will outline the structure in which the abatement will occur (Payment in Lieu of Tax) and set forth performance measures for the project. Execution of a development agreement is required prior to activation of any abatement of real property taxes for the project and would be brought before the City Council for approval.
If the ordinance is adopted, and after execution of the development agreement, the annual estimated real property tax abatement is $25,512 while new revenues flowing to taxing jurisdictions through a Payment in Lieu of Tax (PILOT) is estimated to be $10,500 annually. The abatement and PILOT would be in place for an 8 year period.
