MEMORANDUM
To: Springfield Tax Increment Financing Advisory Commission
From: Matt D. Schaefer, AICP, Senior Planner
Date: September 12, 2024
Subject: September 19, 2024, Springfield Tax Increment Financing Advisory Commission
Meeting
Thank you for volunteering to serve on the Springfield Tax Increment Financing Advisory
Commission (TIF Commission). As a reminder, the TIF Commission will be meeting on
Thursday, September 19, 2024, at 11:00 AM in the Councilman Denny Whayne Conference
Room located on the 4th floor of the Busch Municipal Building, 840 North Boonville Avenue.
The purpose of the meeting is to conduct a public hearing to consider the First Amendment to
the Commercial Street Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment Plan. City staff is working
with Prosperiti Partners, LLC (Developer) on a proposal to utilize partial real property tax
abatement pursuant to Chapter 353, RSMo to facilitate redevelopment within the Commercial-
Pacific Street Redevelopment Area, which was recently approved by the City Council by Special
Ordinance 27975. As shown in the map below, portions of the Redevelopment Area currently
overlap with the boundaries of the Commercial Street TIF. To utilize tax abatement, these
overlapping areas must be removed from the TIF.
The First Amendment proposes to remove the portions of the Commercial-Pacific Street
Redevelopment Area that overlap with the Commercial Street TIF. To offset the resulting loss
of future TIF revenue, the Developer will pay $212,560.21 to buy out the remaining PILOTs.
This payment shall be made to the City and deposited into the TIF Special Allocation Fund
before the Amendment may receive final approval.

Welcome and Introductions
Brody Corners TIF Redevelopment Plan Public Hearing
TIF Commission Chairman Rob Rector opened the Public Hearing.
a) Submission of Exhibits to the Commission
Brian Fogle made a motion to accept the Submission of Exhibits. Richard Ollis
seconded the motion. Motion carried.
b) Staff presentation of Blight Study, Redevelopment Plan and Redevelopment Project
Sarah Kerner, Economic Development Director gave an overview of the Tax Increment
Financing requirements. Sarah also presented the Blight Study and the Redevelopment
Plan for Brody Corners. This project is commercial use development to house retail,
quick service restaurant, office, and service industry. Benefits would be blight
remediation, job creation, shopping amenity, dining opportunity and office space. The
location proposed is 28 acres and formerly housed a mobile home community.
Twenty-five acres was annexed in June 2021 and rezoned to highway commercial for
the proposed development. Goals of the redevelopment project is to cleanup general
waste on the site, closure of multiple failed sewage lagoons, removal of outdated and
non-functioning prior site improvements and construction of on-site public
improvements to provide construction ready pad site. Site does not currently have
utilities. The objectives of the plan are to enhance the tax base for the City and other
taxing jurisdictions, encourage private investment, increase employment opportunities,
stimulate construction development and general tax revenues and to remediate the
blight conditions.
Staff does recommend the finding of blight that the condition of the property does
prevent adequate housing accommodations between the wastewater treatment facility
and inadequate utilities could not support housing without redevelopment. The
property cannot be redeveloped as-is. Missouri DNR has been unsuccessful in
achieving compliance regarding the closure of the lagoons and the general condition of
the site continues to attract dumping. LCRA has reviewed the project and recommends
the finding of blight.
Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as an activity center in the Growth
Management Land Use Plan. This area is intended to have high intensity housing and
business development. The plan for the property meets the criteria and staff
recommends finding that the TIF Plan does comply with the Comprehensive Plan.
The deal points of the TIF are that this is a pay-as-you-go project with no financial risk
to the City or other taxing jurisdiction regarding funds up front. Developer will get
reimbursed as revenues are generated by the development activity. The development
reimbursement is limited to public improvements and TIF formation costs. The
reimbursable cost is $3.4M which is 12% of the plan development costs and that falls
under the percentage of our local policy’s recommendations. The pay back period is
set for twenty-three years with a mandatory surplus of 25%, that allows only 75% of
increase property taxes will be captured by the TIF and 25% will automatically flow-
through to all the taxing jurisdiction that receive property tax. Once the TIF expires or
the developer is fully reimbursed, all new taxes will flow-through as normal. The
developer will establish a Community Improvement District that accelerates repayment
of the TIF obligations and the TIF Redevelopment Agreement will establish design
guidelines, permitted uses and details of the reimbursement.
The following questions were asked:
Regarding the “But For” who has the listing and has there been any activity over the
last few years of interest by anybody in the development purchase and is there a history
of that? Sarah responded that the property is owned by the developer. Cory Collins
also responded that the developer has owned the property for a year and prior to that by
a developer who wasn’t able to develop it and lost the property in a foreclosure sale and
the party who foreclosed held a second and then purchased the first and the current
owner purchased it from that developer after the foreclosure.
How long has the mobile home park been shut down or the area empty? Cory Collins
responded that it was vacant prior to them taking possession of the property and may
have been since 2010 to 2012.
What is the additional percentage of sales tax generated by the CID? Sarah responded
that it can be up to one percent and that is what this project is anticipating.
What is happening with the sewage lagoon if this project does not happen? The
Department of Natural Resource received judgment against the prior owner in 2018 and
has been unsuccessful in enforcing the judgment. The judgment did not move to the
current owner and another judgement would have to be issue to the new owner to
satisfy the judgement. No discussion has occurred as the current owner is wanting to
redevelopment the property and which would take care of the issues.
Staff recommendations on required findings are that the Redevelopment Area is a
blighted area and the “But For” Test has been met and that the Redevelopment Area
has not and would not reasonably be anticipated to be developed without the adoption
of tax increment financing and the plan does conform to the City’s Comprehensive
Plan. Also, staff believes the Redevelopment Project is estimated to be completed
within twenty-three years and reasonably to do. Based on developer’s projections
show completion in nineteen years pay back. There are no gambling establishment
included in the plan and due to the property being vacant there will not be relocation
considerations, but a plan has been included if necessary. Staff recommends approval
of the project and recommendation of moving forward to City Council.
c) Presentation from Developer - Cory L. Collins, Husch Blackwell
Cory Collins stated that his client purchased the property in the current condition for
redevelopment. Also, that the developer is anxious to move forward and has completed
as must groundwork as possible leading up to this process. Hopefully once everything
has been approved, he anticipates starting cleanup and development right away.
Regina Greer Cooper asked what was it that made the developer want to proceed with a
project at this location? Cory Collins responded that he represents the developer and he
made multiple suggestions to walk away from this property, but the developer felt that
this is a good location for growth in this area. They feel it is worth saving and making
this better for the community.
Ron Hawley asked if the developer has any pre-leases/commitments for the property?
What are the projections based on? Cory responded that the projections are based on
experience of the developer. The tax revenues are projected to believe the end users
and there have been several parties interested in the location. There is a large
convenience store to be located here if everything continues to move forward. Are the
potential leases based on current lease values per square foot or anticipating the normal
currently lease rates in Springfield? Cory stated that the lease rates as a measure have
not been used but they are using the values of the revenue streams on sales tax
generated in the lots and the assessed value of the improvements which would create
the pilots and half of the new sales tax would accomplish the projections. Sarah noted
that there is no residential in the plan.
d) Public Comments
Mike Schilling, City Council stated that he is concern about good citizenship of the
developer because the property continues to be open to dumping for at least the past
year and there is no impediment put in place.
Cory responded that the property was purchased, and this process was immediately
started. There was discussion on how to secure the property and looking at gates does
not secure the property without fencing the entire property. The Fire Department
expressed concern that gating the property would limit access.
d) TIF Commission Questions and Discussion
Have all the requirements/timelines been satisfied? Sarah stated that all requirements
are in compliance.
Rob Rector, Chairman stated that the TIF Commission received a Resolution recommending
approval of the TIF Plan, approval of the Redevelopment Area, designation of Blight within the
Redevelopment Area, approval of the Redevelopment Project and the approval of the Developer
of Records to City Council.
Brian Fogle made a motion to approve the Resolution as presented. Ron Hawley seconded the
motion.

COMMERCIAL STREET
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
Springfield, Missouri
July 10, 2024
Capitalized terms shall have the meaning set forth in the Commercial Street Tax Increment
Financing Redevelopment Plan (the “Original Redevelopment Plan”).
BACKGROUND
The Original Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the Springfield City Council on April 7, 2008
through the adoption of Special Ordinance 25373. The Redevelopment Area originally contained
approximately 56 acres of real property generally bounded by the BNSF Railroad to the north, East and
West Pacific Street to the south, North Clay Avenue and North Ozark Avenue to east, and North Douglas
Avenue to the west.
SUMMARY OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT
This First Amendment amends the Original Redevelopment Plan by removing from the
Redevelopment Area and the Redevelopment Project Area the property legally described on Exhibit C
hereto (the “Removed Property”). The Removed Property includes approximately 4.91 acres of land and
the improvements located thereon.
REVISIONS TO THE PLAN
Figure 1 in Appendix 1 in the Original Redevelopment Plan is hereby deleted and replaced with
the map contained in Exhibit A hereto. The Plan is hereby amended by removal from the Redevelopment
Area and the Redevelopment Project Area of the Removed Property, as shown on Exhibit B hereto and
legally described on Exhibit C hereto. Appendix 2 in the Original Redevelopment Plan is hereby deleted
and replaced with the legal description contained in Exhibit D hereto.
The remaining initial equalized assessed valuation for real property within the Redevelopment Area
and the Redevelopment Project Area, after removal of the Removed Property, is $3,552,275 as shown on
Exhibit E hereto. There were no sales taxes produced within the boundaries of the Removed Property
during 2007, the calendar year prior to the adoption of the redevelopment project under the Original
Redevelopment Plan.

1. INTRODUCTION
This section provides an overview of the Commercial Street area and includes
a short background of the area, the concept of Tax Increment Financing, the
area to be addressed in this redevelopment plan, and the general purpose of
the Commercial Street TIF Redevelopment Plan.
Background
The Commercial Street area had prominence in North Springfield in the late
19th century and the early part of the twentieth century and was supported
by the activity generated by the railroads. Significant retail and service
facilities were located on Commercial Street at that time and provided an
important shopping and activity area for the residents in North Springfield.
As the influence of the railroads diminished and Springfield grew to the
south, Commercial Street began to decline. Over the past 30-plus years
Commercial Street has been in a constant period of transition, buildings that
were once active with retail and other uses became vacant or under utilized.
The physical conditions of the buildings began to deteriorate along with their
under utilized uses.
A National Register Historic District was designated on Commercial Street in
1980. This designation along with a matching rehabilitation grant program
developed by the City of Springfield resulted in some revitalization; however,
this revitalization was sporadic and was not sustained over the years. Recent
revitalization efforts have shown some promise, but overall revitalization of
Commercial Street still lacks a focus and a comprehensive strategy.
The City of Springfield prepared Commercial Street Historic District,
Strategy for Success, which was accepted by Springfield City Council in
February 2006. A specific recommendation in the Strategy was to look at the
use of Tax Increment Financing as a possible tool for revitalization. In
addition, the VISION 20/20 Comprehensive Plan indicated that the same
tools used in the revitalization of downtown Springfield should be made
available to Commercial Street. This Redevelopment Plan attempts to
address the recommendations contained in both the Strategy for Success
and VISION 20/20.
Concept of Tax Increment Financing
The State of Missouri has provided a number of tools that a municipality can
use to initiate private and public development and redevelopment in declining
areas or in areas that have seen deficient growth and development. One
important tool is the Real Property Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment
Act (R.S. MO. Section 99.800 et seq) also known as Tax Increment Financing
(TIF). This legislation provides for the establishment of tax increment
financing districts referred to in the TIF Act as “redevelopment areas.” An
area proposed for designation as a TIF redevelopment area must meet
certain criteria as set forth in the TIF Act. These criteria are established in
1-1
accordance with one of three types of redevelopment areas that may be
designated. The types of redevelopment areas are:
1. Blighted area,
2. Conservation area, or
3. Economic Development area.
The concept of TIF is relatively simple. Incremental revenue is created when
there is an increase in tax revenues in the “redevelopment area” above the
annual revenue that the redevelopment area generated in the year prior to
its designation. New development is encouraged to occur through the ability
to use the incremental revenue created by new development and increased
property values to finance certain costs of developing an area. Bonds or
other financial obligations may be issued to capture the revenue at the
inception of the project to pay these costs; however, it is proposed that the
Commercial Street Tax Increment Financing District projects be undertaken
only when sufficient funds are available from the increment to pay for these
projects. In other words, the Commercial Street TIF District is proposed to
be a “pay as you go” district; no bonds will be issued as part of this TIF
district.
During the period in which the incremental revenue is dedicated to the
purposes specified in the redevelopment plan (up to 23 years), all taxing
districts that levy ad valorem taxes in the redevelopment area continue to
receive the taxes based upon the property values and tax rates that existed
prior to the adoption of the TIF. Those local jurisdictions that levy economic
activity taxes (generally sales and utility taxes) also continue to collect the
amount of these taxes that existed prior to establishment of the TIF district
plus 50% of the new economic activity taxes generated in the TIF district.
Local jurisdictions will continue to receive 100% of any new revenues that
are generated by the Merchants and Manufacturers Replacement Tax and
100% of any new personal property taxes.
The initial step in forming a TIF district and establishing the redevelopment
area is to analyze the area being considered for designation. This is
necessary to determine whether the area can meet the criteria specified in
the TIF Act for designation as a blighted, conservation, or an economic
development area. Once the governing body of a city has determined that
the area will qualify, it may approve a redevelopment plan. The
Redevelopment Plan identifies objectives, policies, redevelopment project(s),
activities and costs necessary to accomplish redevelopment and revitalization
of the area. Funding and financing aspects of the Plan are also outlined and
Plan schedules and dates for implementation are addressed.
The Area
The Commercial Street Redevelopment Area (Area) is comprised of
approximately 10 blocks totaling approximately 56 acres. The entire
Commercial Street Historic District is included in the Area. The boundaries of
the Area are shown on Figure 1 – Proposed Redevelopment and
1-2
Redevelopment Project Area located in Appendix 1 and described in
Appendix 2 – Redevelopment Area Boundary Legal Description. The
Area consists of 359 parcels, as well as abutting public rights-of-way. An
aerial photo of the Area is included in Figure 2 – Aerial Photo of Proposed
Redevelopment and Redevelopment project Area in Appendix 1.
The Redevelopment Area has a mix of land uses that includes a variety of
retail/commercial uses in the historic district along with loft apartments on
upper floors, some additional residential uses in the eastern portion of the
Area, industrial uses, vacant parcels and vacant buildings. Existing land uses
in the Redevelopment Area are shown in Figure 3 – Existing Land Use in
Appendix 1. A map showing existing zoning is contained in Appendix 1 as
Figure 4 – Existing Zoning.
Purpose of Commercial Street TIF Redevelopment Plan
The Commercial Street Redevelopment Area and the Redevelopment Project
Area are contiguous as shown in Figure 1 in Appendix 1. The overall
Redevelopment Area and the Redevelopment Project Area must meet certain
criteria set forth in the TIF Act. One of the purposes of this Plan is to
document the qualifications of the Area with respect to designation under the
terms and conditions of the TIF Act. The Plan also serves as the basis for
establishing the general redevelopment program and TIF financing
parameters that will assist the City and property owners/redevelopers in
implementing the redevelopment program.
The primary purpose of this Plan is to establish a process by which public
improvements within the area will occur and to establish a process and
reason for redevelopment to occur. This process will enable the City to carry
out the comprehensive redevelopment envisioned by this Plan. Without the
assistance provided through the TIF, the Area is not likely to experience
significant and sustained growth and development through investment by the
private sector.

2. REDEVELOPMENT AREA - BASIS FOR
DESIGNATION & SUMMARY OF THE
REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
The basis for designation of the area as a TIF Redevelopment Area is
summarized in this section and a summary of the redevelopment program is
provided.
Basis for Redevelopment Area Designation
In order to establish a TIF Redevelopment Area, certain criteria set forth in
the TIF Act must be met. These criteria are established in accordance with
one of three types of redevelopment areas that may be designated. As
discussed in the previous section, these types of redevelopment areas are:
Blighted Area,
Conservations Area, or
Economic Development Area.
Based on field investigation and analysis of past and current data undertaken
for this Plan, the Commercial Street Redevelopment Area was found to
exhibit the requirements necessary for designation under the TIF Act as a
Blighted Area. The analysis of existing conditions and evidence of the factors
present in the Area are described in detail in Section 3, Analysis of
Blighted Area Factors. The Blighted Area qualification factors present in
the Area are summarized below:
Defective or Inadequate Street Layout
Unsanitary or Unsafe Conditions
Existence of Conditions Which Endanger Life or Property by Fire or
Other Causes
Retards the Provision of Housing Accommodations
Economic or Social Liability
Factors found in the Redevelopment Area lead to the conclusion that without
the use of tax increment financing, as set forth in this Plan, the Area would
not be subject to growth and development by private enterprise in a manner
consistent with the development goals and objectives for the Area.
Summary of the Redevelopment Program
The Redevelopment Program set forth in this Plan represents a private sector
and public sector approach to revitalization and redevelopment of the
Commercial Street Redevelopment Area. The philosophy behind the
approach is based on public investment in key public projects within the
Commercial Street Redevelopment Area providing the incentive for private
investment in redevelopment and revitalization of properties within the Area.
In addition, one major private sector project is proposed, using non-TIF
funding, based on the public projects set forth in the Plan. An increased
increment in property and sales taxes is projected based on the City’s
2-1
commitment to public improvements and the subsequent private investment
that will be generated.
The City of Springfield has demonstrated a desire to institute a
comprehensive revitalization and redevelopment program on Commercial
Street. Over the past 25 years, the City has developed plans and programs
aimed at revitalization and redevelopment in the Commercial Street Area.
Some of these plans and programs include:
1982 Commercial Street Historic District Redevelopment Plan
1980-1986 CDBG Grant Program for Redevelopment and Façade
Renovation
1986-Present Small Business Development Loan Program
2000 VISION 20/20 Comprehensive Plan – Center City Element
2004 VISION 20/20 Strategic Plan (Center City Section)
2000-2005 Transportation Enhancement Grants for Streetscape
Improvements
2006 Commercial Street Historic District, A Strategy for Success
While some redevelopment and revitalization occurred as a result of each of
the above plans or programs, there has been no sustained redevelopment in
the Area. Redevelopment has been sporadic and short-lived.
The Redevelopment Program and corresponding Redevelopment Projects are
intended to alleviate those conditions that qualify the Area as a “Blighted
Area” in order to facilitate the economic revitalization of the Area. It is
envisioned that the Redevelopment Program and Redevelopment Projects will
be accomplished over time and that the City will serve as the “Master
Developer,” coordinating the Redevelopment Program. Some of the activities
may be redevelopment activities associated with a single building or local
business or may include use of TIF funds to build public improvement
projects, for programs to assist local businesses and property owners
through development and implementation of grant or loan programs, or
other programs aimed at assisting redevelopment and revitalization activities
throughout the Area.
Financing of the Private Sector Redevelopment project identified in the
Redevelopment Plan will not include any funds generated through the TIF.
Public improvement projects and programs will be funded as money is made
available through incremental increases in the property and sales taxes on an
annual basis.
Implementation priority and schedule for the public improvement projects
and programs will be determined on an annual basis dependent on revenues
generated and cost of particular projects and programs. Property owners,
Businesses, and Residents in the Area will have an opportunity to
recommend projects on an annual basis to the TIF Commission and City
Council.
2-2
Any property acquisition associated with this TIF Redevelopment Plan will be
accomplished with a willing seller. The City of Springfield shall not use
eminent domain in implementing any project or program set forth in this TIF
Plan.

3. ANALYSIS OF BLIGHTED AREA FACTORS
This section sets forth the factors identified in the TIF Act that were found
to be present in the Area that meet the definition of a “Blighted Area”
according to Section 99.805 of the TIF Act.
Existing conditions were identified and analyzed to determine if the
proposed Redevelopment Area met the qualifying criteria established for a
“Blighted Area.” Information gathered for this analysis was derived from
several sources. Staff from the Springfield Planning and Development
Department conducted Field investigations in August, September, and
October 2007. Observable exterior conditions were identified during these
field investigations. Information was compiled from the Greene County
Assessor’s records and reviewed by City Planning and Development
Department staff. Zoning, existing land use, proposed projects, and other
information was also reviewed by city staff.
This Blight Study examines the findings within the proposed
Redevelopment Area of the Commercial Street TIF Redevelopment District.
Specifically, this section of the TIF Plan seeks to qualify the proposed
Commercial Street Redevelopment District as a “Blighted Area” as defined
under Missouri Revised Statute. By making those findings, the TIF
Commission and Springfield City Council may allow the use of tax
increment financing as an investment tool for the Redevelopment Area.
Definition of Blighted Area
The definition of a blighted area, as outlined in 99.805 (1) RSMo. is as
follows:
Blighted Area: “An area which, by reason of the predominance of
defective or inadequate street layout, unsanitary or unsafe conditions,
deterioration of site improvements, improper subdivision or platting, or the
existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other
causes, or any combination of such factors, retards the provision of
housing accommodations or, constitutes an economic or social liability or,
menace to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present
condition and use.”
3-1
The TIF statute requires that only one (1) criterion of blight need be met
in order for an area to qualify for TIF assistance. This Blight Study will
document evidence of multiple blighting factors in the Commercial Street
Redevelopment Area.
Research and on-site reconnaissance, including property photos taken
during August and September of 2007, were performed to ascertain the
absence or presence of blighted conditions.
This Blight Study concludes with the finding that the proposed
Redevelopment Area does meet the statutory requirement to be declared
a “blighted area” under the provisions of Section 99.805 (1), RSMo.
EXISTING CONDITIONS IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA
A. Location
As illustrated in Figure 1, Project Location Map, Commercial
Street Redevelopment, the Redevelopment Area is generally
bounded by BNSF Railroad to the north, Sherman and Clay to the east,
Pacific and Blaine to the south, and Douglas to the west, within the City
of Springfield , Greene County, Missouri. The Redevelopment Area
encompasses 10 lineal blocks of Commercial Street and those streets
between Douglas, Pacific, Blaine, Sherman and Clay Streets.

B. Redevelopment Proposal
The Commercial Street Redevelopment TIF Plan will consist of one
redevelopment area as outlined in figure 1.
The project proposes a mixed-use redevelopment area with live music
and other forms of entertainment on either end of the district, blended
with residential urban loft development in the center of the district with
complimentary and supportive business activity.
To facilitate and support the redevelopment the TIF will include, but not
be limited to, the financing of public infrastructure projects, parking,
street and streetscape development, lighting, voluntary building
acquisitions, public facilities, and other projects outlined in detail in the
redevelopment plan.

C. Existing Land Use, Zoning, and Topography
Existing Land Use: As illustrated in Figure 3-13, Existing Land
Use, the existing land uses are as follows:
Numerous business, office, retail, and residential
structures, some occupied, but most either vacant or
underutilized, in various levels of blight located
throughout the boundaries of the redevelopment area.
Several dilapidated service facilities with storage yards
that are overgrown in weeds and equipment.
Transportation system has generally been improved in the
historic six- block district through a streetscape program,
however there is still considerable deterioration to the
streets and sidewalks at the east and west ends.
There is no public ingress or egress access to the rear of
buildings located on the north side of Commercial Street
between Campbell and Benton Avenue, making
redevelopment difficult.
Zoning: The land is currently zoned as follows:
Center City- The six block historic district is zoned Center
City.
Highway Commercial-The properties at the west end of
the redevelopment area and at the southeast end of the
redevelopment area are zoned Highway Commercial.
Heavy Manufacturing-The properties located at the
northeast end of the proposed redevelopment area and
adjacent to much of the railroad properties are zoned
Heavy Manufacturing.
Topography: All of the property located within the
redevelopment area is relatively flat and developed in a typical
downtown urban style. The topography will not present
redevelopment challenges.

FINDINGS OF BLIGHT
This section examines those existing factors within the proposed
Redevelopment Area, which are evidence of blight as outlined in Mo. Rev. Stat.,
99.805 (1)
A. Defective or Inadequate Street Layout
Defective or inadequate street layout conditions that exist throughout the
Redevelopment Area include the following elements:
No ingress or egress access exists to the rear of buildings located on the
north side of Commercial Street. BNSF Railway owns the property up to
and abutting the buildings. The lack of accessibility creates safety and
service concerns and markedly increases the cost of redevelopment of
the structures.
Much of the Redevelopment Area has street conditions that are
deteriorated including broken and buckled sidewalks and curb and
guttering. Six blocks of the streets and sidewalks in the proposed
redevelopment area need to be improved to be of the same quality as
those that have been reconstructed through the existing streetscape
program.
Defective asphalt conditions exist on Blaine Street and in portions of the
Redevelopment Area that have not been repaired and re-constructed
through the streetscape program.
Blaine Street is undersized, in a general state of disrepair, has poor visual
access at intersections and has significant weed and lighting issues.
Alley ways are in disrepair with deteriorated asphalt, potholes, weeds,
and unsightly building conditions. Many businesses use the alleys to
store trash dumpsters, creating odors. There are ten alleys within the
district. Seven of those provide the only pedestrian linkage from parking
lots to the commercial district.
Many of the sidewalks, curb and guttering and driveways are deteriorated
and the concrete and asphalt is crumbling and buckling.
The lack of adequate street layout to the rear of buildings on the north side
of Commercial Street and the issues that creates as described above, and
the inadequate layout of Blaine Street coupled with the appearance of
deterioration of the existing streets and sidewalks has
3-8
inhibited growth and improvement over the years and, therefore warrants a
finding that the Redevelopment Area is served by defective or inadequate
street layout.

B. Unsanitary or Unsafe Conditions
Throughout the Redevelopment Area, unsanitary and unsafe conditions exist
that create adverse health and safety concerns. Although similar conditions
exist throughout the district the building survey was limited to Commercial
Street. Most of the buildings are 100 years old or older and are in need of a
major rehabilitation. Suspect conditions include, roofs, stairways, lack of
appropriate exits, wiring, mechanical systems, brick tuck-pointing, rotting
windows and doors, lack of fire suppression systems, and buildings with
common walls. To date only a few of the buildings have undergone a major
rehabilitation. Using these parameters as a measure the following results were
noted:
61 buildings are in need of major rehabilitation. Because of deferred
maintenance these structures will not meet exiting building code
requirements and are inhabitable.
27 buildings are in need of minor rehabilitation to protect structural
integrity
28 buildings are vacant on the first floor and many are in disrepair and
have trash and litter contained within.
At least 7 buildings are being used for material storage, some with
combustible materials constituting both a health and fire hazard.
Many of the buildings are in need of sealing and tuck-pointing and there
is potential for falling bricks and structural failure.
The lack of accessibility for emergency responders or the north and rear
side of Commercial Street constitutes an unsafe condition.
Further, the records maintained by the City of Springfield Building and
Development Services indicate that there have been 49 cases opened involving
dangerous building issues during the last 10 years in the proposed district.
These conditions warrant a finding of unsanitary or unsafe conditions within
the Redevelopment Area.
Figure 5, Unsanitary or Unsafe Conditions, illustrates the above conditions.

considering investment.
C. Existence of Conditions Which Endanger Life or Property by
Fire or Other Causes
The existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire or other
causes include the following elements:
Material storage constitutes a fire hazard that imposes a risk not only on
the individual building, but also on all buildings in that general area.
Trash, litter and building rubble in the buildings constitutes a fire, health
and safety risk.
Structural disrepair imposes a danger of falling bricks, and building
failure.
The water delivery system is inadequate to fight a major fire and to
provide water service in an amount sufficient for fire suppression
systems within the buildings. Many of the lines are in excess of 50
years old, are undersized, and recent testing indicates the lines cannot
deliver water in adequate quantities to meet today’s fire code
requirements.
These conditions warrant a finding of the existence of conditions, which
endanger life or property by fire or other causes within the
Redevelopment Area.
Figures 6, Existence of Conditions Which Endanger Life or Property by
Fire or Other Causes, depict the above conditions.
3-15

D. Retards the Provision of Housing Accommodations
As illustrated in Figure 7, page following, conditions that retard the
provision of housing accommodations include those criteria previously
described in sections A through C of this Blight Study as follows:
Defective or inadequate parking facilities;
Unsanitary or unsafe conditions;
Existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire or
other causes
These conditions warrant a finding that the Redevelopment Area retards
the provision of housing accommodations.
3-17

E. Economic or Social Liability
Economic liability refers to the principle that the potential economic
benefits cannot be fully achieved without some form of redevelopment in
order to commit the land and buildings to their highest and best economic
use. The social liability results from the presence of health and safety
risks associated with the current uses of the land while in its blighted
condition. Figures 8, Economic or Social Liability, illustrates these
principles.
There is a high concentration of brownfield property within the
Redevelopment Area. A brownfields as defined by EPA is “...real property,
the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by
the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant or
contaminant”. The City of Springfield Brownfields Program is conducting
Phase II subsurface investigations on three brownfields sites within the
Redevelopment Boundary due to the potential of petroleum based
contamination. Ten former gas stations have been identified within the
boundary through a survey of the 1933, 1950, and 1957 Sanborn Fire
Insurance Maps. Due to other historical uses including dry cleaning
facilities, printing, oil storage, auto repair, and others, and the location
directly adjacent to an active rail yard that has been in use since the late
1800’s, the vast majority of property within the redevelopment area
meets the definition of a brownfield. There is a need to perform
assessments on these properties and facilitate needed environmental
cleanup. Through economic incentives to invest and redevelop existing
property within the boundary many of these brownfields sites can be
eliminated.
The presence of a significant number of buildings vacant or with boarded
up windows retards the existing values of all of the buildings in the area
and provides a negative message to developers who might consider
investment in redevelopment activity.
These conditions warrant a finding of economic/social liability within the
redevelopment area. The intent of the Redevelopment Area is to
minimize the adverse impacts of both the economic and social liabilities
3-19
and instill positive community change. To achieve this, several funding
tools will be needed, the primary tool being the use of TIF financing.
Such financing enables the Redevelopment Area to transform itself from
a condition of economic/social liability to one of economic/social asset.

CONCLUSION
This Blight Study has documented evidence of the existence of the following
factors within the proposed Commercial Street Redevelopment Area:
Findings of Blight
1. Defective or inadequate street layout;
2. Unsanitary or unsafe conditions;
3. Existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire or other
causes;
4. Retards the provision of housing accommodations;
5. Economic or social liability.
Based on the combination of these factors, it is the conclusion of this Blight
Study that the Commercial Street Redevelopment Area warrants a finding that
the project constitutes a “blighted area” as provided under RSMo. 99.805 (1),
and therefore qualifies for TIF assistance
3-23
5. FINDINGS
Section 99.810 of the TIF Act requires the City of Springfield to make various
findings before the adoption of this Redevelopment Plan. The foregoing
sections of this report provide supporting material for the findings.
A Blighted Area
As documented in Section III of this plan, the Redevelopment Area meets the
requirements for designation as a “Blighted Area” by virtue of the
predominance of the following:
Defective or inadequate street layout
Unsanitary or unsafe conditions
Existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire or other
causes
Retards the provision of housing accommodations
Economic or social liability
Lack of Growth and Development
Based on the information collected and analyzed in preparation of the
Redevelopment Plan, it is found that the Redevelopment Area has not been
subject to sustained growth and development. It is further found that it
would not reasonably be anticipated to be developed commensurate with its
potential without the implementation of this Redevelopment Plan.
Conformance with the Comprehensive Plan
The Redevelopment Plan conforms to the Springfield Comprehensive Plan for
development of the community. The Redevelopment Plan fulfills one of the
City’s economic development objectives within the City’s Comprehensive Plan
to focus reinvestment in Center City by pursuing a reinvestment strategy and
program that capitalizes on the historic character and unique opportunities
that are present on Commercial Street. A letter from the Springfield Director
of Planning and Development addresses the conformance question and is
shown in Appendix 8.
Estimated Dates of Completion
It is hereby found that the estimated date for completion of the
Redevelopment Plan and Projects does not exceed a period of more than 23
years from the date of anticipated adoption of the Ordinance approving the
Redevelopment Plan. Neither does this schedule provide for the adoption of
an Ordinance approving a Project(s) later than 10 years from the date of
adoption of the Ordinance approving this Redevelopment Plan.
5-1
Relocation Assistance
It is hereby found that a policy for relocation assistance for businesses and
residences has been provided for in this Plan through inclusion by reference
to the City of Springfield Relocation Policy adopted on January 29, 2007 by
Ordinance Number 5648, which complies with the provisions of Sections
523.200 to 523.215, RSMo., (as amended). A copy of the Relocation Policy
is provided in Appendix 7.
This Redevelopment Plan complies with the provisions of Section 99.810(4)
RSMo., which requires that a relocation plan be developed for the assistance
of every resident and business that is to be displaced in conjunction with the
implementation of the Redevelopment Plan.
Cost-Benefit Analysis
A cost-benefit analysis has been prepared that shows the economic impact of
the Redevelopment Plan on each taxing district that is at least partially within
the boundaries of the Redevelopment Area. The analysis shows the impact
on the economy if the Redevelopment Plan is not implemented and is
implemented. The cost-benefit analysis includes a fiscal impact study on
every affected political subdivision as well as sufficient information for the TIF
Commission to evaluate whether the Redevelopment Plan and associated
projects is financially feasible.
Gambling Establishments
This plan does not include the initial development or redevelopment of any
gambling establishment.
Department of Economic Development Report
By the last day of February of each year, the TIF Commission shall report to
the Director of Economic Development the name, address, phone number
and primary line of business of any businesses that relocates to the
Redevelopment Area.

Letter of Conformance with
Comprehensive Plan
September 13, 2007
To: Members of the Tax Increment Financing Commission
From: Ralph Rognstad, Director of Planning and Development
Re: Commercial Street TIF District, Conformance with Comprehensive Development
Plan
The Commercial Street Strategy for Success, and corresponding Tax Increment
Financing Redevelopment Plan and Blight Report conforms to the Vision 20/20
Comprehensive Plan for the development of the City as a whole. The Redevelopment
Plan fulfills one of the City’s economic development objectives within the City’s
Comprehensive Plan to focus reinvestment in Center City by pursuing a reinvestment
strategy and program that capitalizes on the historic character and unique opportunities
that are present on Commercial Street. Further, the Redevelopment Plan addresses the
specific objective of proactively encouraging the redevelopment of deteriorating and
obsolete commercial and retail structures.
The City Council accepted the Commercial Street Strategy for Success in February of
2006. The Strategy identifies a program for enhancing the historic character of
Commercial Street through the encouragement of private reinvestment or redevelopment
transforming the street into a mixed-use destination with a unique sense of purpose,
focused on urban loft residential living, live music, arts, entertainment and dining, and
associated retail activity. Tax Increment Financing is proposed as a tool to implement
capital public improvements that will inspire private reinvestment and redevelopment
activity. The Commercial Street Strategy, therefore, seeks to implement the City’s vision
and objectives for the enhancement of the City’s economic tax base by targeting a portion
the Commercial Street Redevelopment Area for rehabilitation and redevelopment.
Very truly yours,

SUMMARY OF PUBLIC MEETING
August 8, 2007
A public meeting was held on Thursday, August 8, 2007, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM, at Cook’s
Kettle, 200 West Commercial Street to provide information and receive feedback on a
possible Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District on Commercial Street. Approximately 30 to
35 people attended the meeting based on those who signed an attendance sheet and an
informal head count. Notices of the meeting were sent to all property owners, merchants,
and residents within the potential TIF District boundaries.
Format of Meeting
The Meeting format consisted of an open
house concept with some opening
welcoming remarks from the City Manager’s
office and a few explanatory comments from
city staff. Attendees viewed the information
on the ten boards set up at the meeting and
discussed their concerns with staff.
Attendees were encouraged to provide
comments or questions on “post-it” notes
and to identify their top priorities and
projects for the Street. A summary of the
results of the priorities “voting” is discussed

Commercial Street TIF Q&A
From 2nd Public Meeting
September 20, 2007
Following are some of the questions raised at the public meeting along
with responses. These do not necessarily include all questions raised at
the meeting due to space.
Question: What is the Frisco Lane project?
Response: Potential access and parking behind the buildings on the north
side of the street.
Question: Is the $5.5 Million of Projected Revenue taken away
from the school district?
Response: No. The School District will continue to receive the current tax
revenues. The $5.5M represents an estimate of all the property and sales
tax increase over a 23 year period above the current amount. The School
District would not receive 72% of the incremental increase in property tax
but would continue to receive the amount it currently receives from the
properties in the TIF District. Currently, it is estimated that R-12 receives
slightly over $72,000 annually from the property taxes in the proposed
district. R-12 would continue to receive that amount.
Question: How long will the TIF run?
Response: 23 years – but it doesn’t have to run that long.
Question: Who will represent Commercial Street on the TIF
Commission?
Response: Commercial Street will not have an official representative on the
TIF Commission. The Commission is in place and is comprised of
representatives from the various taxing entities as well as citizens at large.
The City Law Department has indicated that “anyone in the TIF District will
have a direct or indirect financial interest and possible gain from the
creation of the district and should not serve on the Commission.”
Question: Is the CID Board the same representation as the TIF
Commission?
Response: No – the CID Board would be comprised of representatives
appointed from Commercial Street. By State law CID Board must be
representative of property owners, registered voters, or merchants in the
district
Question: Is there a TIF Downtown or somewhere else in town?
Response: Not Downtown, but yes there is one other TIF in place – the
Jordan Valley Park TIF.
Question: If Commercial Street recommends a project would the
TIF Commission decide against what was recommended by the
people on the street?
Response: Can’t speak for the TIF Commission, but don’t know why the TIF
Commission would ignore recommendations from a majority of property
owners, merchants, and residences (or their representatives). It should be
noted that projects must be included in the plan. Any changes to the plan,
i.e. new projects, would require public notices, etc.
Question: Is TIF a foregone conclusion?
Response: No, there will be public hearings on the Commercial Street TIF
Redevelopment Plan and City Council will ultimately decide whether to
create a Commercial St. TIF District.
Question: How did TIF come about?
Response: The Commercial Street Strategy for Success report
recommended TIF as a financing option for improvements on the street.
This report was accepted by City Council. In May, 2007 Council directed
staff to prepare a TIF redevelopment plan.
Question: Does TIF affect Historic Tax Credits and other financing
available to redevelop property?
Response: No. These programs will still be available. TIF Revenues will not
replace current funding/financing tools.
Question: Is it fair to say that if TIF is NOT in place the property
values will remain stagnant and taxing districts will not benefit
anyway?
Response: Yes. That is the theory behind Tax Increment Financing. It is
assumed that the increased public investment will attract additional
investment to the area and increase both property and sales tax revenues.
Question: Who will oversee the projects to make sure they are
done correctly?
Response: The City is responsible for implementation of the TIF
Redevelopment Plan.
Question: Will property values increase for sure with TIF?
Response: Not for sure, but the hope is that yes, they will increase.
Question: Is it true that the TIF Redevelopment Plan would mean
that revenues generated by the incremental tax increase within
the district would be spent in the District?
Response: Yes, although TIF revenues could be spent outside the
boundaries of the TIF District only if it could be shown that the project on
which the funds are spent benefits the properties in the district.

Memorandum
To: Amanda Ohlensehlen, City of Springfield
Matthew Schaefer, City of Springfield
From: Spencer Fane LLP, on behalf of Missouri Hotel, LLC; 540 Commercial Partners, LLC;
Historic Commercial Developments, LLC; and Titus Williams, LLC (collectively, the
“Redevelopment Property Owners”)
Re: Commercial Street Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Buyout Agreement – Buyout Payment
Proposal
Date: May 31, 2024 (Updated June 25, 2024)
I. Background
The Redevelopment Property Owners (defined above) and the City of Springfield (City)
have been working cooperatively to facilitate the private redevelopment of certain real property
owned by the Redevelopment Property Owners in and near the Commercial Street Historic
District. Earlier this year, the Redevelopment Property Owners prepared and sought approval of
the Commercial-Pacific Redevelopment Plan (Redevelopment Plan), which (i) established the
Commercial-Pacific Redevelopment Area and (ii) authorized Chapter 353 tax abatement for one
project within the Redevelopment Area (the residential townhome project known as Pacific South
Townhomes). The Redevelopment Plan expressly reserved evaluation and approval of Chapter 353
tax abatement requests for future projects within the remainder of the Redevelopment Area on an
case-by-case basis and only after the remainder of the Redevelopment Area had been excluded
from the Commercial Street Tax Increment Financing District (TIF District). Springfield City
Council approved the Redevelopment Plan on April 8, 2024 pursuant to Special Ordinance 27975.
Per City policy, before further Chapter 353 tax abatement requests may be made for
additional projects within the Redevelopment Area, the remainder of the Redevelopment Area
(consisting of 14 tax parcels) must be removed from the TIF District. City staff have indicated a
willingness to assist with amending the TIF District Plan to remove the remainder of the
Redevelopment Area from the TIF District provided that the Redevelopment Property Owners
make a lump sum payment to the TIF District (TIF Buyout Payment) in an amount approximately
equal to the amount the TIF District would have received had the Redevelopment Area parcels
remained a part of the TIF District for the remaining 7 year life of the TIF District. In other words,
the intention of this payment is to ensure the TIF District remains whole and is not disadvantaged
by the removal of these parcels from the TIF District boundaries.
II. Buyout Calculation
With the above objectives in mind, the Redevelopment Property Owners propose to
collectively make a TIF Buyout Payment of $212,506.21 to the TIF District as consideration for
the City amending the TIF District Plan to exclude the remainder of the Redevelopment Area from
the TIF District. This agreement will be documented in a TIF Buyout Agreement, the terms of
which will be negotiated between the Redevelopment Property Owners and the City, with input
from the TIF District stakeholders.
The above TIF Buyout Payment was calculated by taking the collective incremental
assessed value of the 14 parcels comprising the remainder of the Redevelopment Area for the 2023
tax year ($558,915) and multiplying that by the average tax levy (5.4316%) for the last 7 tax years
(2017-2023)1 to arrive at the average amount contributed by these parcels to the TIF District
annually ($30,358.03). This number was then multiplied by 7 (representing the remaining life of
the TIF District in years) to arrive at the TIF Buyout Payment amount of $212,506.21. Further and
as an accommodation to the process, the TIF Buyout Payment does not take into the time-value of
paying the TIF Buyout Payment in a lump-sum, as opposed to incremental payments over the
remaining life of the TIF District.
The Redevelopment Property Owners will pay the TIF Buyout Payment to the City in a
lump sum to be held in escrow by the City pursuant to the Escrow Letter Regarding TIF
Amendment Deposit, pending the City Council’s consideration and approval of the First
Amendment of Commercial Street Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment Plan.
III. Conclusion
The Redevelopment Property Owners believe the TIF Buyout Payment presented above is
appropriate, and represents a fair and reasonable estimation of the likely benefit to the TIF District
were these parcels to remain a part of the TIF District for the remaining life of the TIF District.
Further, the buyout has the added benefit of infusing a large, lump sum payment into the TIF
District (rather than small, trickling payments over the next 7 years), which will hopefully enable
the TIF District to pursue larger and more ambitious projects for the TIF District sooner.
Please contact us know if you have any questions or would like additional details.

Note: Although assessed values tend to increase over time, levy rates fluctuate year-to-year. For this reason, we
believe an average of the prior 7 years’ levy rates was a reasonable estimation of the next 7 years’ levy rates.
