REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION '82-245 BepDrt Number: ITEM DESCRIPTION: Report Date: S E P T EM BE R 2 7. 1 982 APPLICATION FOR TAX EXEMPT MORTGAGE COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL CARE, P.A. DEPT. HEAD'S APPROVAL: NA MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report ~. Comments below/attached EXPLANATION/SUMMARY (attach supplemental sheets as necessary): EXPLANATION Comprehensive Medical Care, P.A. has made application for a .tax exempt mortgage for a 12,000 square foot medical clinic to be located in the downtown New Brighton area. The application is for the amount of $1.7 million. ( Comprehensive Medical Care, P.A. is a medical association that currently owns and operates medical clinics in Coon Rapids, Champlin, Ramsey and St. Michael. The proposed New Brighton Medical Center would proivde health care services on a fee-for-service, prepaid health maintenance organization and occupational health basis. The proposal is for the New Brighton clinic to be located on property the City currently owns, on the north side of lOth Street NW, west of 5th Avenue NW and just south of 1-694. The applicant is very much interested in beginning construction ~et this Fall. If this project is to proceed there are a number of issues to resolve, including; completion of a development agreement, review of development concept by Downtown Advisory Board, review of special use permit and building permit applications by Planning Commission and sub- sequent review of all the above, including the application for the tax exempt mortgage by the City Council. The Downtown Advisory Board is scheduled to meet on October 6th and tentatively the Planning Commission will be meeting on October 14th to review the clinic plan. The issue at hand is whether the proposal for a tax exempt mortgage for the New Brighton Medical Center is worthy of further consideration. In that regard the use is, as evident, for the downtown area which as our policy guidelines state should be given IIspecial con- siderationll. In addition, the proposed use is a high quality, professional use which has the ability to draw people to an area which has obvious benefits to other properties down- town. Recognizing the above and that substantial work remains before the clinic is a reality, my feeling is that this project is worthy of further consideration. 1 l ~ . i' L- c , RECOMMENDATION To find the proposal of Comprehensive Medical Care, P.A. for the New Brighton Medical Center worthy of further consideration for a tax pxp.mpt mortgage and to consider the application by adoption of the attached resolution.
