[2] KPMG note the Romeoville Metra Station new construction data is measured by a 3-mile radius, unlike the other stations 1-mile radius measure due to its more rural location.

TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT BOUNDARY BASICS

what you should know

What is a TDD? Transit Development District

The main focus is on promoting Transit-Oriented Development.

Transit development districts provide economic tools and strategies to support local communities to implement high-quality transit-oriented development.

The goal is to create a boundary calibrated specifically for each community based on analysis, areas of opportunity and the goals and visions of the community.

14

15

This isn't just a boundary.

It complements the economic growth path of communities.

16

Clarifying the TDD

TDD IS...

TDD IS NOT...

A 1/2 mile (320 acre) special economic development district approved by the State Budget Committee

Zoning or comprehensive planning

An effort to realize economic development in Northwest Indiana communities Formed by an analysis process that includes community-wide input, best practices and market analysis

A city or town-sponsored planning process Eminent domain A partnership with developer or realtor A project designed to gentrify or to create low-income housing NICTD South Shore Double Track or West Lake rail projects

Statutory Requirements

Transit development districts are contiguous boundaries drawn around station areas, and must be no more than 0.5 square miles (320 Acres) in area.

17

Boundary Parameters and Geographic areas Illustrative Example - Not an actual proposed boundary

18

Statutory Requirements

Transit development districts capture the incremental growth in local income and property tax revenue, for use in public investment related to the station area.

19

TDD Revenue Parameters

Revenue collected from the district – is spent in the district.

Local community retains land use and zoning control.

20

TIF AND TDD TOGETHER TDD Function A TDD permits the capture of incremental property tax and local income tax revenues for the development of the area around the transit station The incremental revenue that is captured can only be used within the same district (e.g. increment captured in Munster will be spent in Munster) After the TDD expires, all of the TDD increment is transferred to the tax base If a TDD and a TIF overlap, the split of the incremental revenues between the TDD and TIF are negotiated by the RDA and the RDC

21

Statutory Requirements

After consultation with local communities, two public hearings must be held before the RDA approves the TDD boundaries for review and approval by the State Budget Committee.

TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT BOUNDARY PROCESS

how we’re arriving at the study area

24

TDD Boundary Process Visiting station areas

1 2

BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH THE STATION AREA

Preparing an initial market understanding/analysis Summarizing the community profile/demographics

Station area mapping

Research previous & ongoing community planning efforts

COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP WORKSHOPS Listening to needs, preferences and development opportunities Presenting our reconnaissance and community impressions Learning of planning and real estate projects in the pipeline Touring the community and station areas

Work sessions to discuss and better understand issues that are specific to each station/community

25

TDD Boundary Process Where we are

3

DRAFTING THE BOUNDARY

Collaboration with NICTD on station requirements and optimization Identifying and integrating community preferences Understanding the market forces that influence economic development Understanding potential and suitability of surrounding sites Understanding supporting infrastructure

Mapping and preparing documents to share out findings and study area

26

TDD Boundary Process Next Stage in the process

4

REVISING THE BOUNDARY

Collecting and integrating community input

Update and create TDD draft boundary

Conduct first and second RDA public hearing

27

Defining the TDD Boundary The criteria we are using

Quantitative

Qualitative

Station context | Utilities | Walkability/connectivity

Redevelopment potential | Community desires

Cultural or civic assets | Barriers to redevelopment

Previous planning findings | Community vision

Buffers | Zoning restrictions

Future/planned projects

Area Specific Site analysis | Location analysis | Legal analysis Zoning/future land use | Potential property tax yield Existing public debt obligations | Impact

28

Area Development Opportunity Criteria Our area development opportunity criteria included the following...

Current use

Proximity to station

Acreage

Ownership

Vacancy status

(Developable acreage)

(Public vs private, single vs. multiple)

(Occupied vs vacant lot/ building and notable condition)

Future land use or planned use

Zoning / allowable density / parking

Access / location / walkability

Conditions

TIF district / Opportunity Zone status

Comprehensive impact

(Utilities, infrastructure, flood/ wetland, slope, brownfield issues, other)

Places within and adjacent to the Boundary
