PROPOSED RIVER FRONT EAST
URBAN RENEWAL AREA
Garden City Urban Renewal Agency Independent public body serving the city of
Garden City
Established by the City Council in 1995
Currently has one redevelopment district: the River Front District which is scheduled to terminate in 2013
What does the Agency do?Focused on revitalizing older part of the city
through improvements to:
Public facilities (city structures)
Public infrastructure (water and sewer lines, wells, streets)
Parks and greenbeltsCoordinates and facilitates public/private
partnerships for needed public improvements
How is Agency Funded?Reallocation of tax dollars, based on increase
in property values within the districtAda County Assessor establishes a “base
year” the year the UR district is approved. Property taxes on the “base year” values go to the regular taxing entities, e.g. county, ACHD, city, fire district, etc.
After base year, taxes on any INCREMENTAL value go to the Agency, taxes on “base value” continue to go to regular taxing entities
Funding ExampleBase Year (2012) 2013 with Increased
ValueAda County Assesses
Value of a Property: $100,000
This value becomes “base year” value
Property taxes of $1650 (based on 2012 levy rate) go to all of the regular taxing entities
Ada County Assesses Value of a Property: $110,000
Total Property Taxes of $1815 (based on same 2012 levy rate)
Taxes on “Base Value” of $100,000 still go to regular taxing entities ($1650)
Taxes On “Increased Value” of $10,000 go to Agency ($165)
If the Agency did not exist, all $1815 would go to regular taxing entities

Urban Renewal Agency
Proposed New Area
Area is generally described as from Veterans Parkway on the west to Garden Street on the
east and from Osage to the Boise River, as well as 42nd Street from Adams to the Boise
River. (Some properties that are highly developed are not included in the plan.)
What is Focus for the Proposed Area?
The Agency plans to implement the same type of projects in the River Front East urban renewal area as those that have been completed in the current district. There has been no change in focus.
Current projects have included these …
New Greenbelt Path 1.3 Miles of new multi-use greenbelt path from 44th Street to 52nd Street Winds through commercial section of the city as well as Mystic Cove residential development and the Mallard Pointe Senior Affordable Housing complex. Completed the city’s multi-use greenbelt path from the eastern boundary of the city to the western city limits
Mystic Cove Park
Completed in conjunction with the greenbelt expansion
Neighborhood park at the end of 48th Street adjacent to the greenbelt and the river
Includes playground equipment and park benches
Riverfront Park Completed by the Agency in 2009 and deeded to the city, adjacent to the Boys & Girls Club on 42nd Street
Largest park in Garden City and the only one with full amenities, including playground equipment, restrooms, picnic kiosk, picnic tables, basketball court, walking track, extensive landscaping and large play area
New Well & Pump House In 2010, the Agency, in partnership with the City,
completed a total rehab of City Well #13. This 50+ year old well required extensive
maintenance and the pump house itself was in total shambles.
New, deeper well was drilled and state of the art pumping and filtering equipment was installed in a newly constructed pump house.
The well is now the largest producing well in the city and is the primary back-up system for all city wells in emergency situations.

River Front East District
What’s Planned for the new River Front East
District?
MORE OF THE SAME!
POSSIBLE PROJECTS COULD INCLUDE SOME OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING
Water and Sewer Lines
New water and sewer lines will be the #1 priority of the Agency when adequate funds become available
Water and Sewer Lines in the Area are between 60 and 70 years old and are in need of replacement.
Most line sizes are barely adequate for good fire protection and need to be increased in size for future development
Park Improvements
POSSIBLE PROJECTS COULD INCLUDE:
Blue Heron Park(Next to Senior Ctr.)
Parking lot improvements Park improvements, including picnic tables, park benches Improved river access for fishermen and kayakers
Centennial Park on 36th St.
Picnic tables and benchesNew play area Garden area
Greenbelt Improvements
Possible Projects Could Include:
Resurfacing New Striping Addition of benches
Street Improvements
When and where possible and in partnership with the Ada County Highway District, street improvements throughout the area will be implemented.
When will projects start?If plan approved in 2012, Agency would
receive first tax increment funds in 2014. Amount would be minimal
Depending on new development or property improvements, takes four to five years for major project funds to be available. Some smaller projects, e.g. park or greenbelt improvements, could be started in two to three years (2015/2016).
Next Steps Proposed Plan will go to Planning & Zoning
Commission to assure compliance with the City Comprehensive Plan
Proposed Plan will go to other taxing entities for their comments
Plan will go to City Council for a public hearing and then final revisions and/or approval
If approved this year, 2012 will be the “base year” and the Agency will receive its first funds in 2014.
