A resolution approving the proposed modification to the Urban Renewal Plan
deleting the northern portion ofthe Urban Renewal Plan area, transmitting the same
to the City Council and requesting the City Council to determine that it is a
substantial modification of the Urban Renewal Plan.
Mr. White distributed copies of a revised Urban Renewal Plan modification. He entered
information received from the tax assessor'soffice into the record. Upon review of this

property tax increment on the properties which would be deleted by the above resolution.

which shows that there is a $3 million increment value in the entire urban renewal. This $3
million can be traced to Wheat Ridge Marketplace, First Bank and the Maktura Building.

Wheat Ridge Urban Renewal Authority approve Resolution No.1 which modifies the
Urban Renewal Plan, deleting the northern portion of the Urban Renewal Plan area,
and transmit same to the Wheat Ridge City Council. The motion passed unanimously.
