BACKGROUND: In July 2001, the City of Woodburn created the Woodburn Urban Renewal Plan pursuant to ORS Chapter 457 of the Oregon Constitution, and all applicable laws and ordinances of the State of Oregon and City of Woodburn respectively. The purpose of the Plan is to eliminate blighting influences found in the Renewal Area, to implement goals and objectives of the City of Woodburn Comprehensive Plan, and to implement development strategies and objectives for the Woodburn Urban Renewal Area. During the development of the Plan, Woodburn identified goals which included: • Promote Private Development • Rehabilitate Building Stock • Improvements to Streets, Streetscapes, and Open Spaces • Utility Improvements • Parking • Public Facilities • Housing • Public Art (Full description provided in Urban Renewal Plan) Since adoption, the City has achieved many of the identified goals and completed numerous projects identified in the Plan. However, as the priorities in the Urban Renewal Area have evolved and many of the original projects listed have changed in scope and cost, an amendment to the Plan is needed. Agenda Item Review: City Administrator_x City Attorney_x_ Finance_x 5 Page 2 At the November 12, 2023, Urban Renewal Agency meeting, the Agency approved entering into a contract with Elaine Howard Consulting, LLC for the preparation of the 2024 Plan Amendments. DISCUSSION: Staff has reviewed the projects in the Plan and have identified high priority projects to be funded in the next four years of the Plan. Projects include: • Evergreen Road Improvements • Front Street Overpass @ 214 - Safety Improvements • Highways 214, 211 and 99E Intersection Improvements • Woodburn Community Center • Affordable Housing • Mill Creek Greenway • Administration • Materials • Financing Fees Funding these projects will use the remaining maximum indebtedness (MI) of the Plan. In order to pursue these projects, staff recommend adding one project to the Plan and specifying individual projects under other project categories. The new project is the Woodburn Community Center. The funding from urban renewal would only cover a portion of the total costs and would be dependent on the bond measure passing in November for other funding. In 2019 there were changes to ORS 457 to require that public building projects have approval of three of the four most impacted taxing districts. ORS 457 specifically excludes recreation facilities from this public building requirement. The Woodburn Community Center is deemed by the Agency to be a recreation facility. The other projects include completing other street and infrastructure projects that will facilitate new development in the Area and projects aimed at addressing affordable housing needs in our community. The Street, Curb, and Sidewalk Improvements projects in the Plan has been modified to include Evergreen Road Improvements, Front Street Overpass @ Highway 214, Hwy 214, and 21 land 99E Intersection Improvements. The Pedestrian, Bike and Transit Facilities project has been modified to include the Mill Creek Greenway Trail. 6 Page 3 The Affordable Housing project is deemed to be an approved project under categories B. Redevelopment Through New Construction, C. Preservation, Rehabilitation, Development and Redevelopment, and D. Property Acquisition and Disposition. Any acquisition of property must follow the requirements of Section 700. Property Acquisition Procedures. If a property is to be acquired, it must be listed in the Plan pursuant to ORS 457.085. Along with updating the projects list, the finances of the Plan have been updated to show the timing to undertake projects. This analysis is shown in the tables in the Report on the 2024 Woodburn Urban Renewal Plan Amendment. The financial update was prepared with input from staff on existing maximum indebtedness, financial obligations, and project priorities for the future. The project priority assumptions are non-binding. The assumptions may be modified by the Agency through the life of the Plan. However, they provide sidebars for staff to know the amount of funding available and the potential projects that funding would allow the Agency to undertake. The financial analysis by Tiberius Solutions LLC projects that the Area could fund all remaining projects in fiscal year end (FYE) 2027 and be able to fully pay off debt in FYE 2037. 7 WOODBURN URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY RESOLUTION NO. 2024-02 A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE WOODBURN URBAN RENEWAL PLAN WHEREAS, the Woodburn Urban Renewal Agency ("Agency") adopted the Woodburn Urban Renewal Plan ("Plan") in July 2001 ; and WHEREAS, the Agency desires to amend Plan Section 600, Description of Projects to be Undertaken and to add property under one percent of the original boundary; and WHEREAS, this amendment may be processed as a minor amendment to the Plan as defined in Section 900 of the Plan; and WHEREAS, minor amendments are processed thorough the adoption of a resolution by the Agency: NOW, THEREFORE, THE WOODBURN URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECTS TO BE UNDERTAKEN is amended as follows: A. Public Improvements 1. Street, Curb, and Sidewalk Improvements. There are deficiencies in streets, curb, and sidewalks within the project area. Major deficiencies are in the historic Old Town area of the renewal plan, and in the Highway 214 corridor through the renewal area. To remedy these conditions, it is the intent of the Renewal Agency to participate in funding sidewalk and roadway improvements including design, redesign, construction, resurfacing, repair and acquisition of right-of-way for curbs, streets, and sidewalks, and pedestrian and bicycle paths. Street work anticipated by City staff includes but is not limited to: • Repairs to streets, curbs, and sidewalks throughout the Historic Downtown area, • Construction of new connector street between Highway 214 and Front Street, • Participation in widening of Route 214 through the renewal area. • Evergreen Road improvements • Front Street overpass at Highway 214 • Highways 214,211 and 99E intersection improvements 4. Pedestrian, Bike, and Transit Facilities These activities will include pedestrian, bicycle and transit connections between the renewal project area and Woodburn's downtown core and residential areas. Activities may include bikeways and paths, trails, bicycle parking and storage, transit stops, transit pullouts, and other related activities which will promote pedestrian, bicycle, and public transportation uses in the renewal area. This category includes but is not limited to: Mill Creek Greenway Trail— Cleveland to Lincoln The Mill Creek Greenway Master Plan, adopted in 2006, includes a planned multi-use, multi-modal trail designed to connect users to Woodburn parks, facilities and resources, cultural and historic centers, and residential and employment centers along Mill Creek and its tributaries. Portions of the existing or planned Mill Creek Greenway Trail run through or serve the Woodburn Urban Renewal Area, providing increased economic development opportunities by increasing accessibility and transportation options and routes. 9.

The total cost of the Woodburn Community Center project in $2024 is approximately$60,000,000 and would require a bond measure for the project to proceed.

The assumptions indicate that $11,892,983 of the MI has been used through FYE 2023 with $17,407,017 of MI remaining. It is projected that the Area will reach its MI in FYE 2028 and then continue taking tax increment through FYE 2037 to pay off all debt. Interest on debt is not included in the MI limitation. The principal amount of the debt is counted against the MI when the debt is incurred. This forecast is dependent on development assumptions for the Area and the continuation of the 3% increase in the assessed value of properties within the Area. Page 10- RESOLUTION NO. 2024-02 17
