Public Hearing 6.1 The council will open a public hearing to receive comments, and the council will consider a resolution approving a tax increment financing (TIF) plan and creation of TIF District No. 6 for redevelopment of the Wells Fargo site at 7000 56th Ave. N. Yellow Tree has requested TIF assistance to develop a 5 story, 178 unit, market rate apartment building on the Wells Fargo site. Construction would begin in July 2026 and be completed in late 2027. The development would increase the site’s market value by $38,924,000 (from $1,126,000 to $40,050,000) and its annual property taxes by $666,499 (from $30,301 to $696,800). The TIF district would expire after 26 years, but the proposed assistance to the developer is 10 years of increment in the form of a pay-as-you-go note. The city may also use TIF funds for public improvements serving the development, but those are estimated at only 1-2 years of increment. Once these financial obligations are satisfied, the city may either decertify the district or continue to collect increment to use for qualifying affordable housing activities. After holding the public hearing, the Council is asked to adopt the resolution approving the TIF plan and creation of the district. 7. Regular Agenda 7.1 The council will consider the first reading of an ordinance amending the zoning map to expand the Town Center base district. The proposed rezonings are connected to the Town Center Vision Plan (TCVP), which the City Council developed with a consultant during 2025 and approved on Feb. 17, 2026. The plan describes a long-term vision for how the Town Center area could gradually develop over the next 25 years. Before starting the planning process, the Council adopted a one-year moratorium on certain development review applications within the Town Center Core (TC) and Town Center–Planned Development (TC-PD) areas to give time for the plan to be finalized. As part of putting the TCVP into action, several properties currently within the TC- PD overlay would be rezoned to TC and removed from the overlay district. At its March 9 meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the proposed rezonings of several properties into the Town Center Core (TC) district. The public hearing was legally noticed, and one resident attended, asking questions about the potential impacts of future redevelopment on nearby residential neighborhoods, but did not express opposition to the proposal. City Council approval of the first reading is requested, with the second reading and adoption scheduled for April 7. Page 3 of 3 8. Council Comments and Announcements a.

Bell RE: Replacement of upholstered chairs in the Crystal Room of the Community Center Background The Crystal Room is the marquee meeting space in the Crystal Community Center; and as such hosts a high number of meetings, events, and rentals throughout the year. The existing fabric chairs have become increasingly difficult to maintain. Stains are harder to remove and require additional custodial time to keep the chairs looking presentable. Replacing the current chairs with durable vinyl chairs will allow staff to quickly wipe down and sanitize seating between events. This will reduce custodial time spent on stain removal and deep cleaning, improve efficiency for facility staff, and help maintain a clean, professional appearance for all users of the space. Budget The 2026 capital plan (buildings fund) includes $30,000 to replace the chairs. The purchase includes 100 chairs without arms and 10 chairs with arms. The chairs can be purchased from Continua Interiors of Minnesota through Omnia purchasing program contract #R240104, in the amount of $31,983.05. Savings from other projects results in overall expenses in this fund being under budget. Requested City Council Action Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution, entering into an agreement with Continua Interiors of Minnesota, for the replacement of 110 upholstered chairs in the Crystal Room of the Crystal Community Center. 4.4 CITY OF CRYSTAL MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 2026-xx RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF PURCHASING UPHOLSTERED CHAIRS FOR THE CRYSTAL ROOM IN THE CRYSTAL COMMUNITY CENTER WHEREAS, the City of Crystal owns and operates the Crystal Community Center; and WHEREAS, the current upholstered chairs are becoming difficult to keep clean due to age; and WHEREAS, the 2026 capital improvement plan (buildings fund) includes funds to replace these chairs; and WHEREAS, the upholstered chairs can be purchased from Continua Interiors of Minnesota through Omnia purchasing program contract #R240104 in the amount of $31,983.05; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Crystal: A. To enter into an agreement with Continua Interiors of Minnesota, in the amount of $31,983.05; to provide upholstered chairs for the Crystal Room of the Community Center. B. To hereby authorize the mayor and city manager to sign agreements with Continua Interiors of Minnesota for this project.

Bell RE: Grant Application to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for a Youth Softball Field in Valley Place Park The City of Crystal has a long-term plan for making capital improvements. The 2027 park improvements fund includes replacement of the 57-year-old adult softball field in Valley Place Park with a youth softball field (200’ outfield fence), a new picnic shelter and improved access routes. Both the Armstrong Cooper Youth Fastpitch Association and Robbinsdale Crystal Little League have shared that fields of this size are in high demand. The project was discussed with the city council on August 14, reviewed by the council on November 18 and approved in the long-term plan on December 2, 2025. A public meeting for the project has been scheduled in Valley Place Park on June 3, 2026 and grant funds are being sought. The VFW and Armstrong Cooper Youth Fastpitch Association are interested in financially supporting the project as well. The Minnesota DNR offers grants through their Outdoor Recreation Grant Program for projects such as this. The grants are for, “park acquisition and/or development/redevelopment including, internal park trails, picnic shelters, playgrounds, athletic facilities, boat accesses, fishing piers, swimming beaches, fixed-in-place skate parks and campgrounds..” The grant can fund up to 50% of the project with a maximum grant amount of $500,000. The approximate cost of a softball field with 200’ fence and irrigation, picnic shelter, access routes, etc. is $600,000; so, the maximum grant amount for this project is $300,000. One condition of funding is that the city “certifies that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations as stated in the grant agreement including dedicating the park property for uses consistent with the funding grant program into perpetuity”. This is the same condition that was put on Becker Park due to the DNR grant received for pickleball courts.

Bell RE: Public Hearing and consideration of a resolution approving a tax increment financing (TIF) plan and creation of TIF District No. 6 for redevelopment of the Wells Fargo site at 7000 56th Ave. N. (Wells Fargo) A.BACKGROUND Yellow Tree Development is proposing to purchase and demolish the vacant Wells Fargo building at 7000 56th Ave. N. In its place, they would construct a 5 story, 178 unit market rate apartment building. Yellow Tree has applied for development assistance in the form of a Tax Increment Redevelopment District to make the project feasible. The property meets the statutory requirements for creation of a redevelopment district. On February 17, the Economic Development Authority board adopted a resolution approving a redevelopment plan modification and tax increment financing plan for the proposed TIF District No. 6 (Wells Fargo). B.PROPOSED TIF DISTRICT NO. 6 (WELLS FARGO) Ehlers, the city’s public finance consultant, has prepared the attached TIF plan which would establish a new TIF District No. 6. on the Wells Fargo site. The city’s previous five TIF districts have either expired or been decertified. The following fiscal changes on the property are anticipated as a result of the development: •Estimated market value of the property would increase by $38,924,000 (from $1,126,000 to $40,050,000). •Tax capacity of the property would increase by $478,855 (from $21,770* to $500,625). •Annual local property taxes paid by the property would increase by $666,499 (from $30,301* to $696,800). *Based on the current Commercial classification. 6.1 Page 2 of 2 The TIF plan budget is for the 26 year maximum life of the district, and is not indicative of the proposed assistance to Yellow Tree (10 years of net increment): • The estimated present value of the net tax increment over the 26 year maximum life of the district is $13,877,982. • The estimated present value of the assistance to be provided to Yellow Tree is $3,677,068. The assistance would be in the form of a pay-as-you-go TIF Note, similar to what was done for The Cavanagh. A development agreement governing the TIF assistance is being prepared for EDA consideration at a subsequent meeting. • The TIF plan also includes public improvements in the surrounding area necessary to serve the development, such as pedestrian-scale lighting, sidewalk improvements, and ADA upgrades at intersections. If subsequently authorized by the Council, the city would complete these improvements with an interfund loan from the EDA fund to be paid back by the TIF district. While these costs are not yet known at this time, staff estimates that they would require 1-2 years of TIF in addition to the 10 year TIF Note for Yellow Tree. • Once the TIF Note and interfund loan are satisfied, the city will have the option of either decertifying the district or continuing to collect increment to use for qualifying affordable housing activities. This approach would be similar to how the city used available increment from the now-expired Lamplighter/Heathers district to fund home improvement grants and development of The Cavanagh. C. ANTICIPATED UPCOMING ACTIONS Apr. 7, 2026 EDA considers approval of the Development Agreement for TIF assistance May 2026 Yellow Tree closes on acquisition of the property June 2026 Demolition and site clearance July 2026 Construction start Dec. 2027 Construction complete D. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED After holding the public hearing, consider adopting the resolution approving a tax increment financing (TIF) plan and creation of TIF District No. 6 for redevelopment of the Wells Fargo site at 7000 56th Ave. N. (Wells Fargo). 6.1 Page 1 of 3 CR225\487\1081432.v2 CITY OF CRYSTAL MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 2026-___ RESOLUTION ADOPTING A MODIFICATION TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT NO. 1 AND THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 6 (WELLS FARGO) BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the “Council”) of the City of Crystal, Minnesota (the “City”), as follows: Section 1. Recitals 1.01. The Economic Development Authority for the City of Crystal (the “EDA”) and the City have heretofore established the Redevelopment Project Area No. 1 (the “Project Area”) and adopted the Redevelopment Plan therefor. It has been proposed that the EDA adopt and the City approve a modification to the Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area (the “Redevelopment Plan Modification”) and a Tax Increment Financing Plan (the “TIF Plan”) for the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) (the “District”) therein (the Redevelopment Plan Modification and the TIF Plan are referred to collectively herein as the “Plans”), all pursuant to and in conformity with applicable law, including Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.090 to 469.1082 and Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, all inclusive, as amended, (the “Acts”), all as reflected in the Plans and presented for the Council’s consideration. 1.02. In response to a proposal for a residential redevelopment project, the EDA and City have investigated the facts relating to the Project Area and the District and have caused the Plans to be prepared. 1.03. The EDA and City have performed all actions required by law to be performed prior to the establishment of the District and the adoption and approval of the proposed Plans, including, but not limited to, notification of Hennepin County and Independent School District No. 281 having taxing jurisdiction over the property to be included in the District, and the holding of a public hearing by the Council upon published notice as required by law. 1.04. Certain written reports (the “Reports”) relating to the Plans and the activities contemplated therein have heretofore been prepared by staff and consultants and submitted to the Council and/or made a part of the City files and proceedings on the Plans. Among those reports is one entitled “Report of Inspection Procedures and Results for Determining Qualifications of a Tax Increment Financing District, Wells Fargo Redevelopment TIF District” dated January 28, 2026 and prepared by LHB. The Reports include data, information and/or substantiation constituting or relating to the basis for the other findings and determinations made in this resolution. The Council 6.1 Page 2 of 3 CR225\487\1081432.v2 confirms, ratifies and adopts the Reports, which are hereby incorporated into and made as fully a part of this resolution to the same extent as if set forth in full herein. 1.05 The boundaries of the Project Area are not being changed but the Redevelopment Plan is being modified to include activities related to the District. Section 2. Findings for the Adoption and Approval of the Plans. 2.01. The Council hereby find that the Plans are intended and, in the judgment of this Council, will provide an impetus for redevelopment which is in the public interest and accomplish certain objectives as specified in the Plans. Section 3. Findings for the Establishment of the District 3.01. The Council hereby finds that the District is in the public interest and is a redevelopment district under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 10. 3.02. The Council further finds that the proposed redevelopment would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future, that the TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of Crystal as a whole, and that the TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole for the development or redevelopment of the District by private enterprise. 3.03. The Council has made the above findings and has set forth additional reasons and supporting facts for each determination in writing, which additional reasons and supporting facts are included in Appendix C of the Plans (“Appendix C”). 3.04. The City elects to calculate fiscal disparities for the District in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause b, which means any fiscal disparities contribution would be taken from inside the District. Section 4. Public Purpose 4.01. The approval of the Plans conforms in all respects to the requirements of the Acts and will help fulfill a need to redevelop an area of the City with housing opportunities, to improve the tax base and to improve the general economy of the State and thereby serves a public purpose. For the reasons described in Appendix C, the City believes these benefits directly derive from the tax increment assistance provided under the TIF Plan. A private developer will receive only the assistance needed to make this development financially feasible. As such, any private benefits received by a developer are incidental and do not outweigh the primary public benefits. Section 5. Approval and Adoption of the Plans 6.1 Page 3 of 3 CR225\487\1081432.v2 5.01. The Plans, as presented to the Council on this date, including without limitation the findings and statements of objectives contained therein, are hereby approved, ratified, established, and adopted and shall be placed on file in the office of the Community Development Director. 5.02. The City’s staff, advisors and legal counsel are authorized and directed to proceed with the implementation of the Plans and to negotiate, draft, prepare and present to the Council for its consideration all further plans, resolutions, documents and contracts necessary for this purpose. 5.03 The Auditor of Hennepin County is requested to certify the original net tax capacity of the District, as described in the Plans, and to certify in each year thereafter the amount by which the original net tax capacity has increased or decreased. The EDA Executive Director is authorized and directed to forthwith transmit this request to the County Auditor in such form and content as the Auditor may specify, together with a list of all properties within the District, for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately preceding the adoption of this resolution. 5.04. The EDA Executive Director is further authorized and directed to file a copy of the Plans with the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 469.175, Subd. 4a.

This modification represents a continuation of the goals and objectives set forth in the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1. Generally, the substantive changes include the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo). For further information, a review of the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1, is recommended. It is available from the Community Development Director at the City of Crystal. Other relevant information is contained in the tax increment financing plans for the tax increment financing districts located within Redevelopment Project No. 1. 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) 2 Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) FOREWORD The Crystal Economic Development Authority (the "EDA"), the City of Crystal (the "City"), staff and consultants have prepared the following information to expedite the Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) (the "District"), a redevelopment tax increment financing district, located in Redevelopment Project No. 1. STATUTORY AUTHORITY Within the City, there exist areas where public involvement is necessary to cause development or redevelopment to occur. To this end, the EDA and City have certain statutory powers pursuant to Minnesota Statutes ("M.S."), Sections 469.090 - 469.1082, inclusive, as amended, and M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, inclusive, as amended (the "TIF Act"), to assist in financing public costs related to this project. This section contains the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") for the District. Other relevant information is contained in the Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES The District currently consists of two (2) parcels of land and adjacent roads and internal rights-of-way. The District is being created to facilitate the construction of approximately 178 market rate apartments and necessary public improvements including upgraded pedestrian ramps and signals to meet ADA compliance, sidewalks and lighting in the City. The EDA will be entering into an agreement with Yellow Tree and development is likely to occur in summer 2026. This TIF Plan is expected to achieve many of the objectives outlined in the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1. The activities contemplated in the Modification to the Redevelopment Plan and the TIF Plan do not preclude the undertaking of other qualified development or redevelopment activities. These activities are anticipated to occur over the life of Redevelopment Project No. 1 and the District. 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) 3 REDEVELOPMENT PLAN OVERVIEW Pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan and authorizing state statutes, the EDA or City is authorized to undertake the following activities in the District: 1. Property to be Acquired - Selected property located within the District may be acquired by the EDA or City and is further described in this TIF Plan. 2. Relocation - Relocation services, to the extent required by law, are available pursuant to M.S., Chapter 117 and other relevant state and federal laws. 3. Upon approval of a developer's plan relating to the project and completion of the necessary legal requirements, the EDA or City may sell to a developer selected properties that it may acquire within the District or may lease land or facilities to a developer. 4. The EDA or City may perform or provide for some or all necessary acquisition, construction, relocation, demolition, and required utilities and public street work within the District. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY IN THE DISTRICT AND PROPERTY TO BE ACQUIRED The District encompasses all property and adjacent roads rights-of-way and abutting roadways identified by the parcels listed below. Parcel number Address Owner 05-118-21-42-0032 7000 56thAve N Crystal State Bank 05-118-21-42-0067 7000 56thAve N Crystal State Bank Note: The parcels being included in the District are in the process of being combined into a single parcel with a Lot Consolidation Plat titled Crystal State Bank 3rd Addition. The legal description of the combined parcel will be Lot 1, Block 1, Crystal State Bank 3rd Addition, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Once that process is complete, Hennepin County will assign a new PID number to the combined lot. However, that PID number is not yet known. Please also see the map in Appendix A for further information on the location of the District. 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) 4 The EDA or City may acquire any parcel within the District including interior and adjacent street rights of way. Any properties identified for acquisition will be acquired by the EDA or City only in order to accomplish one or more of the following: storm sewer improvements; provide land for needed public streets, utilities and facilities; carry out land acquisition, site improvements, clearance and/or development to accomplish the uses and objectives set forth in this plan. The EDA or City may acquire property by gift, dedication, condemnation or direct purchase from willing sellers in order to achieve the objectives of this TIF Plan. Such acquisitions will be undertaken only when there is assurance of funding to finance the acquisition and related costs. The EDA or City does not own either parcel of the property to be included in the District. DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION The EDA and City, in determining the need to create a tax increment financing district in accordance with M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as amended, inclusive, find that the District, to be established, is a redevelopment district pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 10(a)(1). $ The District is a redevelopment district consisting of two (2) parcels. $ An inventory shows that parcels consisting of more than 70% of the area in the District are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures. $ An inspection of the buildings located within the District finds that the building is structurally substandard as defined in the TIF Act. (See Appendix D). Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 7, the District does not contain any parcel or part of a parcel that qualified under the provisions of M.S., Sections 273.111, 273.112, or 273.114 or Chapter 473H for taxes payable in any of the five calendar years before the filing of the request for certification of the District. 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) 5 DURATION & FIRST YEAR OF DISTRICT’S TAX INCREMENT Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the duration and first year of tax increment of the District must be indicated within the TIF Plan. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 1b., the duration of the District will be 25 years after receipt of the first increment by the EDA or City (a total of 26 years of tax increment). The EDA or City elects to receive the first tax increment in 2028, which is no later than four years following the year of approval of the District. Thus, it is estimated that the District, including any modifications of the TIF Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after 2053, or when the TIF Plan is satisfied. The EDA or City reserves the right to decertify the District prior to the legally required date. ORIGINAL TAX CAPACITY, TAX RATE & ESTIMATED CAPTURED NET TAX CAPACITY VALUE/INCREMENT & NOTIFICATION OF PRIOR PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 7 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the Original Net Tax Capacity (ONTC) as certified for the District will be based on the market values placed on the property by the assessor in 2025 for taxes payable 2026. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subds. 1 and 2, the County Auditor shall certify in each year (beginning in the payment year 2028) the amount by which the original value has increased or decreased as a result of: 1. Change in tax exempt status of property; 2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the District; 3. Change due to adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements; 4. Change in the use of the property and classification; 5. Change in state law governing class rates; or 6. Change in previously issued building permits. In any year in which the current Net Tax Capacity (NTC) value of the District declines below the ONTC, no value will be captured and no tax increment will be payable to the EDA or City. The original local tax rate for the District will be the local tax rate for taxes payable 2026, assuming the request for certification is made before June 30, 2026. The final rates for 2026 were not available at the time the District was established so the preliminary rates were used. 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) 6 The ONTC and the Original Local Tax Rate for the District appear in the table below. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174 Subd. 4 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, 2, and 4, the estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) of the District, within Redevelopment Project No. 1, upon completion of the projects within the District, will annually approximate tax increment revenues as shown in the table below. The EDA and City request 100% of the available increase in tax capacity be used for repayment of the obligations of the EDA or City and current expenditures, beginning in the tax year payable 2028. The Project Tax Capacity listed is an estimate of values when the projects within the District are completed. Estimated Development Tax Capacity upon completion 789,435 Less: Original Net Tax Capacity (ONTC)14,075 Less: Fiscal Disparities 0 Estimated Captured Tax Capacity (CTC)775,360 Original Local Tax Rate 139.1860% Pay 2026 Prelim Estimated Annual Tax Increment $1,079,193 Percent Retained by the City 100% Project Tax Capacity Note: Tax capacity includes a 2% inflation factor for the duration of the District. The tax capacity included in this chart is the estimated tax capacity of the District in year 26. The tax capacity of the District in year one is estimated to be $125,156. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 4, the EDA shall, after a due and diligent search, accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor or its notice of the District enlargement pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 4, with a listing of all properties within the District or area of enlargement for which building permits have been issued during the eighteen (18) months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the municipality pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3. The County Auditor shall increase the original net tax capacity of the District by the net tax capacity of improvements for which a building permit was issued. The City has reviewed the area to be included in the District and found that some building permit(s) have been issued in the past 18 months, but none that should increase the original tax capacity. 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) 7 SOURCES OF REVENUE/BONDS TO BE ISSUED The total estimated tax increment revenues for the District are shown in the table below: SOURCES Tax Increment 21,308,412$ Interest 2,130,841 TOTAL 23,439,253$ The costs outlined in the Uses of Funds will be financed primarily through the annual collection of tax increments. The EDA or City reserves the right to issue bonds (as defined in the TIF Act) or incur other indebtedness as a result of the TIF Plan. As presently proposed, the projects within the District will be financed by pay-as-you-go notes and interfund loans. Any refunding amounts will be deemed a budgeted cost without a formal modification to this TIF Plan. This provision does not obligate the EDA or City to incur debt. The EDA or City will issue bonds or incur other debt only upon the determination that such action is in the best interest of the City. The EDA or City may issue bonds secured in whole or in part with tax increments from the District in a maximum principal amount of $16,706,901. Such bonds may be in the form of pay-as-you-go notes, revenue bonds or notes, general obligation bonds, or interfund loans. This estimate of total bonded indebtedness is a cumulative statement of authority under this TIF Plan as of the date of approval. USES OF FUNDS Currently under consideration for the District is a proposal to facilitate the construction of approximately 178 market rate apartments and necessary public improvements including upgraded pedestrian ramps and signals to meet ADA compliance, sidewalks and lighting. The EDA and City have determined that it will be necessary to provide assistance to the project(s) for certain District costs, as described herein. The EDA hereby elects to increase by ten percentage points the permitted amount of expenditures from the District for housing activities located outside the geographic area of the District, as permitted under M.S. 469.1763, Subd. 2(d) of the TIF Act. Expenditures that meet the requirements under this subdivision of the TIF Act are legally permitted expenditures of the District, notwithstanding M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 4j. 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) 8 The EDA has studied the feasibility of the development or redevelopment of property in and around the District. To facilitate the establishment and development or redevelopment of the District, this TIF Plan authorizes the use of tax increment financing to pay for the cost of certain eligible expenses. The estimate of public costs and uses of funds associated with the District is outlined in the following table. USES Land/Building Acquisition 2,300,000$ Site Improvements/Preparation 1,000,000 Affordable Housing 4,687,851 Utilities 500,000 Other Qualifying Improvements 6,088,209 Administrative Costs (up to 10%)2,130,841 PROJECT COSTS TOTAL 16,706,901$ Interest 6,732,352 PROJECT AND INTEREST COSTS TOTAL 23,439,253$ The total project cost, including financing costs (interest) listed in the table above does not exceed the total projected tax increments for the District as shown in the Sources of Revenue section. Estimated costs associated with the District are subject to change among categories without a modification to the TIF Plan. The cost of all activities to be considered for tax increment financing will not exceed, without formal modification, the budget above pursuant to the applicable statutory requirements. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.1763, Subd. 2, no more than 35% of the tax increment paid by property within the District will be spent on activities related to development or redevelopment outside of the District but within the boundaries of Redevelopment Project No. 1, (including administrative costs, which are considered to be spent outside of the District) subject to the limitations as described in the TIF Plan. FISCAL DISPARITIES ELECTION Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, the EDA or City may elect one of two methods to calculate fiscal disparities. The EDA will choose to calculate fiscal disparities by clause b (inside). 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) 9 ESTIMATED IMPACT ON OTHER TAXING JURISDICTIONS The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes that the redevelopment contemplated by the TIF Plan would occur without the creation of the District. However, the EDA or City has determined that such development or redevelopment would not occur "but for" tax increment financing and that, therefore, the fiscal impact on other taxing jurisdictions is $0. The estimated fiscal impact of the District would be as follows if the "but for" test was not met: Entity Preliminary Pay 2026 Total NTC CTC upon completion Percent of CTC to Entity Total Hennepin County 2,657,866,502 775,360 0.0292% City of Crystal 28,180,153 775,360 2.7514% ISD 281 (Robbinsdale Area Schools)145,835,012 775,360 0.5317% Impact on Tax Base Entity Preliminary Pay 2026 Extension Rate Percent of Total CTC Potential Taxes Hennepin County 39.1900% 28.16% 775,360 $ 303,864 City of Crystal 67.3080% 48.36% 775,360 521,879 ISD 281 (Robbinsdale Area Schools)25.1500% 18.07% 775,360 195,003 Other 7.5380% 5.42% 775,360 58,447 139.1860% 100.00% $1,079,193 Impact on Tax Rates The estimates listed above display the captured tax capacity when all construction is completed. The tax rate used for calculations is the Preliminary Pay 2026. The total net capacity for the entities listed above are based on Preliminary Pay 2026 figures. The District will be certified under the actual Pay 2026 rates, which were unavailable at the time this TIF Plan was prepared. 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) 10 Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b): (1) Estimate of total tax increment. It is estimated that the total amount of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the District is $21,308,412; (2) Probable impact of the District on city provided services and ability to issue debt. An impact of the District on police protection is expected. With any addition of new residents or businesses, police calls for service will be increased. New developments add an increase in traffic, and additional overall demands to the call load. The City does not expect that the proposed development, in and of itself, will necessitate new capital investment in vehicles or facilities. The probable impact of the District on fire protection is not expected to be significant. Typically new buildings generate few calls, if any, and are of superior construction. The City does not expect that the proposed development, in and of itself, will necessitate new capital investment in vehicles or facilities. The impact of the District on public infrastructure is expected to be minimal. The development is not expected to significantly impact any traffic movements in the area. The current infrastructure for sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water will be able to handle the additional volume generated from the proposed development. Based on the development plans, there are no additional costs associated with street maintenance, sweeping, plowing. The City anticipates completing some public improvements in the area including upgraded pedestrian ramps and signals to meet ADA compliance, closing a sidewalk gap between the development and the closest neighborhood park, and upgraded street lighting including new pedestrian scale lighting. The probable impact of the issuance of any general obligation tax increment bonds payable from tax increment revenues from the District on the City’s ability to issue debt for general fund purposes is expected to be minimal. It is not anticipated that there will be any general obligation debt issued in relation to this project, therefore there will be no impact on the City's ability to issue future debt or on the City's debt limit. 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) 11 (3) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to school district levies. It is estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to school district levies, assuming the school district's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $3,850,291; (4) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to county levies. It is estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to county levies, assuming the county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $5,999,718; (5) Additional information requested by the county or school district. The City is not aware of any standard questions in a county or school district written policy regarding tax increment districts and impact on county or school district services. The county or school district must request additional information pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b) within 15 days after receipt of the tax increment financing plan. No requests for additional information from the county or school district regarding the proposed development for the District have been received. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1 (a), clause 7 this TIF Plan must contain identification and description of studies and analyses used to make the determination set forth in M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3, clause (b)(2) and the findings are required in the resolution approving the District. (i) In making said determination, reliance has been placed upon (1) written representation made by the Developer to such effects, (2) review of the Developer’s proforma; and (3) City staff awareness of the feasibility of developing the project site within the District, which is further outlined in the City Council resolution approving the establishment of the District and Appendix C. (ii) A comparative analysis of estimated market value both with and without establishment of the District and the use of tax increments has been performed. Such analysis is included with the cashflow in Appendix B and indicates that the increase in estimated market value of the proposed development (less the indicated subtractions) exceeds the estimated market value of the site absent the establishment of the District and the use of tax increments. 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) 12 DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION Administration of the District will be handled by the Community Development Director. 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) Appendix A: Map of Redevelopment Project No. 1 and the TIF District 6.1 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) Appendix B: Estimated Cash Flow for the District 6.1 DistrictType:Redevelopment District Name/Number: County District #:Exempt Class Rate (Exempt)0.00% First Year Construction or Inflation on Value 2026 Commercial Industrial Preferred Class Rate (C/I Pref.)

Finding that Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) is a redevelopment district as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 10. The District consists of two (2) parcels and vacant right-of-way, with plans to redevelop the area for the construction of approximately 178 market rate apartments and necessary public improvements including upgraded pedestrian ramps and signals to meet ADA compliance, sidewalks and lighting. Parcels consisting of 70% of the area of the District are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures and more than 50% of the buildings in the District, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. (See Appendix D of the TIF Plan.) 2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) permitted by the TIF Plan. The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future: This finding is supported by the fact that the redevelopment proposed in the TIF Plan meets the City's objectives for redevelopment. Due to the high cost of redevelopment on the parcels currently occupied by a substandard building and the cost of financing the proposed improvements, this project is feasible only through assistance, in part, from tax increment financing. Numerous developers have looked at redeveloping the site over the past several years and they all inquired, requested and/or indicated a need for TIF assistance to make the project financially feasible. The Developer was asked for and provided a letter and a pro forma as justification that the Developer would not have gone forward without tax increment assistance. 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the District permitted by the TIF Plan: This finding is justified on the grounds that the cost of redeveloping a site with existing blighted structures has made redevelopment infeasible without tax increment assistance. The City reasonably determines that no other redevelopment of similar scope is anticipated on this site without substantially similar assistance being provided to the development. Therefore, the City concludes as follows: a. The City's estimate of the amount by which the market value of the entire District will increase without the use of tax increment financing is $0. b. If the proposed development occurs, the total increase in market value will be $38,924,000. c. The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum duration of the district permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be $13,877,982. d. Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur, the Council finds that no alternative would occur that would produce a market value increase greater than $25,046,018 (the amount in clause b less the amount in clause c) without tax increment assistance. 3. Finding that the TIF Plan for the District conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole. The City Council reviewed the TIF Plan and found that the TIF Plan conforms to the general development plan of the City. 4. Finding that the TIF Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of Redevelopment Project No. 1 by private enterprise. 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) The project to be assisted by the District will result in increased employment in the City and the State of Minnesota, the renovation of substandard properties, increased tax base of the State and add a high- quality development to the City. Through the implementation of the TIF Plan, EDA or the City will increase the availability of safe and decent life-cycle housing in the City. 6.1 Crystal Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 (Wells Fargo) Appendix D: Redevelopment Qualifications for the District 6.1 REPORT OF INSPECTION PROCEDURES AND RESULTS FOR DETERMINING QUALIFICATIONS OF A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT WELLS FARGO REDEVELOPMENT TIF DISTRICT Prepared for CITY OF CRYSTAL CRYSTAL, MINNESOTA JANUARY 28, 2026 6.1 Wells Fargo TIF District LHB Project No. 250787.00 Page 1 of 9 Final Report Table of Contents Part 1: Executive Summary ...................................................................................................................................... 2 Purpose of the Evaluation ........................................................................................................................................................ 2 Scope of Work ......................................................................................................................................................................... 2 Conclusion ............................................................................................................................................................................... 3 Part 2: Minnesota Statute 469.174, Subdivision 10 Requirements ....................................................................... 3 Interior Inspection .................................................................................................................................................................... 3 Exterior Inspection and Other Means ...................................................................................................................................... 3 Documentation ......................................................................................................................................................................... 3 Qualification Requirements ...................................................................................................................................................... 3 1.

The proposed TIF District is located at 7000 56th Avenue North spanning between 56th and 57th Avenue North (Diagram 1). The purpose of LHB’s work is to determine whether the proposed TIF District meets the statutory requirements for coverage, and whether one building on two parcels, located within the proposed TIF District, meets the qualifications required for a Redevelopment District. Diagram 1: Proposed TIF District Scope of Work The proposed TIF District consists of two parcels with one building. The building was inspected on December 29, 2025. Building Code and Condition Deficiency reports are in Appendix B. 6.1 Wells Fargo TIF District LHB Project No. 250787.00 Page 3 of 9 Final Report Conclusion After inspecting and evaluating the properties within the proposed TIF District and applying current statutory criteria for a Redevelopment District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10, it is our professional opinion that the proposed TIF District qualifies as a Redevelopment District because: • The proposed TIF District has a coverage calculation of 100 percent which is above the 70 percent requirement. • 100 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard which is above the 50 percent requirement. • The substandard buildings are reasonably distributed. The remainder of this report describes our process and findings in detail. Part 2: Minnesota Statute 469.174, Subdivision 10 Requirements The properties were inspected in accordance with the following requirements under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), which states: Interior Inspection “The municipality may not make such determination [that the building is structurally substandard] without an interior inspection of the property...” Exterior Inspection and Other Means “An interior inspection of the property is not required, if the municipality finds that (1) the municipality or authority is unable to gain access to the property after using its best efforts to obtain permission from the party that owns or controls the property; and (2) the evidence otherwise supports a reasonable conclusion that the building is structurally substandard.” Documentation “Written documentation of the findings and reasons why an interior inspection was not conducted must be made and retained under section 469.175, subdivision 3(1).” Qualification Requirements Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10 (a) (1) requires three tests for occupied parcels: 1. COVERAGE TEST a. Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(a)(1) states: “Parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, or paved or gravel parking lots…” 6.1 Wells Fargo TIF District LHB Project No. 250787.00 Page 4 of 9 Final Report b. The coverage required by the parcel to be considered occupied is defined under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(e), which states: “For purposes of this subdivision, a parcel is not occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures unless 15 percent of the area of the parcel contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures.” 2. CONDITION OF BUILDINGS TEST a. Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(a) states: “…and more than 50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance;” b. Structurally substandard is defined under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(b), which states: “For purposes of this subdivision, ‘structurally substandard’ shall mean containing defects in structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors, which defects, or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance.” i. We do not count energy code deficiencies toward the thresholds required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(b) defined as “structurally substandard”, due to concerns expressed by the State of Minnesota Court of Appeals in the Walser Auto Sales, Inc. vs. City of Richfield case filed November 13, 2001. c. Buildings are not eligible to be considered structurally substandard unless they meet certain additional criteria, as set forth in Subdivision 10(c) which states: “A building is not structurally substandard if it follows the building code applicable to new buildings or could be modified to satisfy the building code at a cost of less than 15 percent of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on the site. The municipality may find that a building is not disqualified as structurally substandard under the preceding sentence based on reasonably available evidence, such as the size, type, and age of the building, the average cost of plumbing, electrical, or structural repairs, or other similar reliable evidence.” “Items of evidence that support such a conclusion [that the building is not disqualified] include recent fire or police inspections, on-site property tax appraisals or housing inspections, exterior evidence of deterioration, or other similar reliable evidence.” i. LHB counts energy code deficiencies toward the 15 percent code threshold required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c)) for the following reasons: 1) The Minnesota energy code is one of ten building code areas highlighted by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry website where minimum construction standards are required by law. 2) Chapter 13 of the 2015 Minnesota Building Code states, “Buildings shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the International Energy Conservation Code.” Furthermore, Minnesota Rules, Chapter 1305.0021 Subpart 9 states, “References to the International Energy Conservation Code in this code mean the Minnesota Energy Code…” 3) Chapter 11 of the 2015 Minnesota Residential Code incorporates Minnesota Rules, Chapters, 1322 and 1323 Minnesota Energy Code. 4) The Senior Building Code Representative for the Construction Codes and Licensing Division of the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry confirmed that the Minnesota Energy Code is being enforced throughout the State of Minnesota. 5) In a January 2002 report to the Minnesota Legislature, the Management Analysis Division of the Minnesota Department of Administration confirmed that the construction cost of new buildings complying with the Minnesota Energy Code is higher than buildings built prior to the enactment of the code. 6.1 Wells Fargo TIF District LHB Project No. 250787.00 Page 5 of 9 Final Report 6) Proper TIF analysis requires a comparison between the replacement value of a new building built under current code standards with the repairs that would be necessary to bring the existing building up to current code standards. For an equal comparison to be made, all applicable code chapters should be applied to both scenarios. Since current construction estimating software automatically applies the construction cost of complying with the Minnesota Energy Code, energy code deficiencies should also be identified in the existing structures. 3. DISTRIBUTION OF SUBSTANDARD BUILDINGS a. Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10, defines a Redevelopment District and requires one or more of the following conditions “reasonably distributed throughout the district.”: “(1) Parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures and more than 50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. (2) the property consists of vacant, unused, underused, inappropriately used, or infrequently used rail yards, rail storage facilities, or excessive or vacated railroad rights-of-way. (3) tank facilities, or property whose immediately previous use was for tank facilities…” b. Our interpretation of the distribution requirement is that the substandard buildings must be reasonably distributed throughout the district as compared to the location of all buildings in the district. For example, if all the buildings in a district are located on one half of the area of the district, with the other half occupied by parking lots (meeting the required 70 percent coverage for the district), we would evaluate the distribution of the substandard buildings compared with only the half of the district where the buildings are located. If all the buildings in a district are located evenly throughout the entire area of the district, the substandard buildings must be reasonably distributed throughout the entire area of the district. We believe this is consistent with the opinion expressed by the State of Minnesota Court of Appeals in the Walser Auto Sales, Inc. vs. City of Richfield case filed November 13, 2001. Part 3: Procedures Followed LHB inspected one building on December 29, 2025. Part 4: Findings 1. Coverage Test a. The total square foot area of the parcel in the proposed TIF District was obtained from City records, GIS mapping and site verification. b. The total square foot area of buildings and site improvements on the parcels in the proposed TIF District was obtained from City records, GIS mapping and site verification. c. The percentage of coverage for each parcel in the proposed TIF District was computed to determine if the 15 percent minimum requirement was met. The total square footage of parcels meeting the 15 percent requirement was divided into the total square footage of the entire district to determine if the 70 percent requirement was met. 6.1 Wells Fargo TIF District LHB Project No. 250787.00 Page 6 of 9 Final Report FINDING The proposed TIF District met the coverage test under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(e), which resulted in parcels consisting of 100 percent of the area of the proposed TIF District being occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures (Diagram 2). This exceeds the 70 percent area coverage requirement for the proposed TIF District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision (a) (1). Diagram 2 – Coverage Diagram Shaded area depicts a parcel more than 15 percent occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures 6.1 Wells Fargo TIF District LHB Project No. 250787.00 Page 7 of 9 Final Report 2. Condition of Building Test a. BUILDING INSPECTION i. The first step in the evaluation process is the building inspection. After an initial walk-thru, the inspector makes a judgment whether a building “appears” to have enough defects or deficiencies of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance. If it does, the inspector documents with notes and photographs code and non-code deficiencies in the building. b. REPLACEMENT COST i. The second step in evaluating a building to determine if it is substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance is to determine its replacement cost. This is the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on site. Replacement costs were researched using R.S. Means Cost Works square foot models for 2025. ii. The replacement cost was calculated by first establishing building use (office, retail, residential, etc.), building construction type (wood, concrete, masonry, etc.), and building size to obtain the appropriate median replacement cost, which factors in the costs of construction in Crystal, Minnesota. iii. Replacement cost includes labor, materials, and the contractor’s overhead and profit. Replacement costs do not include architectural fees, legal fees or other “soft” costs not directly related to construction activities. Replacement cost for each building is tabulated in Appendix A. c. CODE DEFICIENCIES i. The next step in evaluating a building is to determine what code deficiencies exist with respect to such building. Code deficiencies are those conditions for a building which are not in compliance with current building codes applicable to new buildings in the State of Minnesota. ii. Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), specifically provides that a building cannot be considered structurally substandard if its code deficiencies are not at least 15 percent of the replacement cost of the building. As a result, it was necessary to determine the extent of code deficiencies for each building in the proposed TIF District. iii. The evaluation was made by reviewing all available information with respect to such buildings contained in City Building Inspection records and making interior and exterior inspections of the buildings. LHB utilizes the current Minnesota State Building Code as the official code for our evaluations. The Minnesota State Building Code is a series of provisional codes written specifically for Minnesota requirements, adoption of several international codes, and amendments to the adopted international codes. iv. After identifying the code deficiencies in each building, we used R.S. Means Cost Works 2025; Unit and Assembly Costs to determine the cost of correcting the identified deficiencies. We were then able to compare the correction costs with the replacement cost of each building to determine if the costs for correcting code deficiencies meet the required 15 percent threshold. FINDING One out of one building (100 percent) in the proposed TIF District contained code deficiencies exceeding the 15 percent threshold required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c). Building Code, Condition Deficiency and Context Analysis reports for the building(s) in the proposed TIF District can be found in Appendix B of this report. d. SYSTEM CONDITION DEFICIENCIES i. If a building meets the minimum code deficiency threshold under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), then for such building to be “structurally substandard” under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(b), the building’s defects, or deficiencies should be of sufficient total significance to justify “substantial renovation or clearance.” Based on this definition, LHB re-evaluated each of the buildings that met the code deficiency threshold under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), to 6.1 Wells Fargo TIF District LHB Project No. 250787.00 Page 8 of 9 Final Report determine if the total deficiencies warranted “substantial renovation or clearance” based on the criteria we outlined above. ii. System condition deficiencies are a measurement of defects or substantial deterioration in site elements, structure, exterior envelope, mechanical and electrical components, fire protection and emergency systems, interior partitions, ceilings, floors, and doors. iii. The evaluation of system condition deficiencies was made by reviewing all available information contained in City records and making interior and exterior inspections of the buildings. LHB only identified system condition deficiencies that were visible upon our inspection of the building or contained in City records. We did not consider the amount of “service life” used up for a particular component unless it was an obvious part of that component’s deficiencies. iv. After identifying the system condition deficiencies in each building, we used our professional judgment to determine if the list of defects or deficiencies is of sufficient total significance to justify “substantial renovation or clearance.” FINDING In our professional opinion, one out of one buildings (100 percent) in the proposed TIF District are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance, because of defects in structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance. This exceeds the 50 percent requirement of Subdivision 10a(1). 3. Distribution of Substandard Structures Much of this report has focused on the condition of individual buildings as they relate to requirements identified by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10. It is also important to look at the distribution of substandard buildings throughout the geographic area of the proposed TIF District (Diagram 3). FINDING The parcels with substandard buildings are reasonably distributed compared to all parcels that contain buildings. Diagram 3 – Substandard Buildings Shaded yellow area depicts parcels with buildings. Shaded orange area depicts substandard buildings. 6.1 Wells Fargo TIF District LHB Project No. 250787.00 Page 9 of 9 Final Report Part 5: Team Credentials Michael A.

The restrooms and staff breakrooms are not fully code-compliant, with the latter failing to meet accessibility standards. Both the electrical wiring and lighting systems do not comply with code, nor does the HVAC system. In addition, thresholds and stairs are not code compliant, and fire caulking, as required by code, needs to be installed. Damaged carpeting and exposed concrete flooring create impediments to emergency egress, which is contrary to code. Not all door hardware complies with code, and the emergency notification system is also not fully, code compliant. Fire separation walls are damaged and require repair to meet code, while the fire suppression system does not comply with code requirements. Other issues include water- stained ceilings that need repair and repainting, wallpaper bubbling from water intrusion that should be investigated, and interior doors and walls that need refinishing and repainting. The carpeting is stained and requires cleaning, and base molding is missing in some areas. Metal door frames should be repainted, and damaged interior concrete block walls and pipe insulation should be repaired or replaced. Asbestos-containing pipe-joint insulation covers are damaged and must be repaired per code. In the basement, there is a ceiling that does not comply with minimum height requirements, and some ceiling tiles are missing, both of which are contrary to code. Additionally, deteriorating mortar and failing caulking are allowing for water intrusion, which also violates code requirements. ENERGY CODE DEFICIENCIES In addition to the building code deficiencies listed above, the existing building does not comply with the current energy code. These deficiencies are not included in the estimated costs to correct code deficiencies and are not considered in determining whether the building is substandard.

Bell, City Manager (for March 17 Meeting) DATE: March 11, 2026 RE: Consider first reading of ordinance amending the Official Zoning Map to rezone properties in the Town Center district ____________________________________________________________________________ A.BACKGROUND The Planning Commission is recommending to the City Council to rezone several properties to the Town Center Core district (TC). Notice of the March 9 public hearing was published in the Sun Post on February 26 and posted to all neighborhoods on Nextdoor. At the March 9 Planning Commission public hearing, the Commission unanimously recommended approval of the property rezonings. One Crystal resident asked questions about potential impacts of redevelopment on the residential neighborhoods surrounding the TC but did not object to the proposed rezonings. Attachments: A.Proposed Official Zoning Map B.Enlargement of proposed zoning map showing TC rezonings C.Ordinance COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Rezone properties to Town Center Core 7.1 REZONE PROPERTIES TO THE TOWN CENTER CORE DISTRICT PAGE 2 OF 4 B. PROPOSED PROPERTIES FOR REZONING In 2025 City Council began working with a consultant to create a document called the Town Center Vision Plan (TCVP) which is a vision for how the town center area could incrementally change over the next 25 years. Prior to undertaking the visioning process, City Council adopted a one-year moratorium on June 3, 2025 for type 2 development review applications in the Town Center Core (TC) and Town Center – Planned Development (TC-PD) area. This meant that development review applications, such as conditional use permits, subdivisions or rezonings, would not be considered within those districts. Type 2 applications are those that require a public hearing and recommendation from the Planning Commission followed by a City Council decision. The moratorium must end by June 3, 2026. On February 17, 2026 City Council approved the TCVP. As part of that plan, City Council directed that several properties in the TC-PD overlay district be rezoned to TC. Proposed properties for rezoning. The following properties would be rezoned to the TC district. Attachment A shows the properties to be rezoned as crosshatched, with an excerpt of the proposed TC area shown on attachment B. All these properties would also be removed from the Town Center – Planned Development (TC-PD) overlay district.

With this rezoning, these properties would be removed from the TC-PD overlay district. 7.1 REZONE PROPERTIES TO THE TOWN CENTER CORE DISTRICT PAGE 4 OF 4 Include in TC-PD: The property at 6325 – 52nd Ave. N., below, which contains a single-family rental home, is currently zoned Low Density Residential (R-1) but is proposed to be included in the Town Center – Planned Development (TC-PD) overlay district so that there may be an opportunity to redevelop the property along with the vacant property at 5193 Douglas Dr. N. Both properties are owned by the same individual and 5193 Douglas is already included within the TC -PD overlay district. The property on 52nd Ave. N. is guided Low Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan, and any redevelopment will necessitate a change to the Comprehensive Plan and a rezoning to TC-PD. In the meantime, the home’s base zoning would remain R-1. End of Moratorium: The one-year moratorium must end by June 3, 2026. With these rezonings to TC, the moratorium will end on May 16, 2026, the effective date of the ordinance in attachment C. C. REQUESTED ACTION At the March 9th Planning Commission public hearing, the Commission recommended by a vote of 7 to 0 (one member was absent) to approve the zoning map amendments. City Council approval of first reading is requested.

Bell RE: Consider approval of consent and waiver agreements related to deferred loans securing façade improvement grants at 6304 42nd Ave. N. and 3600 Douglas Dr. N. In 2023, the EDA provided facade improvement grants to B&R Auto Repair at 6304 42nd Ave. N. and Wine Thief and Ale Jail at 3600 Douglas Dr. N. These grants were secured by no-interest, deferred, forgivable loans. Hennepin County is preparing to make improvements to Douglas Drive in 2027, including installation of new accessible ramps at intersections. For this work to occur, the county must acquire easements from adjacent property owners. Aerials photos are attached showing the proposed easements on the two subject properties. Because the EDA has mortgages on the two subject properties, the property owners cannot execute their respective easements unless the EDA provides consent. Staff recommends approval because the easements are such a small portion of each property that they would have no consequential impact on the EDA loans. EDA ACTION REQUESTED Approve the attached consent and waiver agreements related to deferred loans securing façade improvement grants at 6304 42nd Ave. N. and 3600 Douglas Dr. N. 6304 42nd Ave. N. - B&R Auto Repair EDA interest is a no-interest, deferred, forgivable mortgage securing a facade improvement grant.
