Previously, the City had only been eligible for the areas contained with its "Central Zoning Districts" due to statutory requirements for the types of zoning in place. The City will now be able to expand the size of the designations up to 175 acres. In doing so, the City will become eligible to also expand the size of the Tax Increment Finance District, to encompass properties such as the University Mall and others, making those areas eligible for both generating revenues for TIF projects and placement of public facilities and infrastructure. In addition, the expansion will allow for a streamlined State review process and application fee for eligible projects including affordable housing. Staff will provide a draft map of the expanded area, to include the west side of Dorset Street from the UMall north, and added portions of the south side of Williston Road that were previously not eligible. Staff recommends that Council approve submitting applications to the Vermont Downtown Board to renew and expand the City's New Town Center and Neighborhood Development Area designations.
