Description: These polygon features show building footprints and contain type, subtype, and address information. Many polygons also include information about area (square footage) and construction date. Accuracy varies from roughly drawn in to being based on official construction plans. When possible, effort was made to represent the building footprint on the ground and not include overhangs, unless the overhang is significant, then it is indicated as such.
Description: These polygons show parcels that have been issued a conditional use permit (CUP). This dataset includes the name of the applicant and the identification number assigned to the CUP.
Description: These polygons show areas that are covered by a planned unit development (PUD). This dataset includes the name of the development and the identification number assigned to the PUD.
Description: Polygons representing active Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts.Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a tool that can be used to facilitate growth within the city’s established Redevelopment Areas. Tax Increment Financing (TIF) uses the additional property taxes (the increment) that are paid as a result of a new development to pay for the development costs. The city must find that the development would not happen through solely private investment and that the new development will result in a net increase in market value for the site.The result of a TIF project is an increased tax base that will benefit all local taxing jurisdictions. Additionally, TIF districts usually spur economic development and redevelopment through creating jobs, removing blight, and providing more affordable housing.Learn More about TIF Districts at: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/bed7b9e77d4541549ad8097e390d90ea
Description: Golden Valley’s Land Use Plan provides a broad outline to direct future land use decisions. It is composed of goals, objectives, and strategies that serve as guides to how the City will maintain and renew itself now and into the future. By maintaining a broad vision of how Golden Valley should look, feel, and function over time, the City provides itself with a frame of reference for making individual land use decisions while respecting evolving market trends. Keeping an eye on the “big picture” helps ensure that each new decision fits in with others made before it rather than working at cross purposes.A part of this plan are six established Redevelopment Areas. These areas, designated by the Golden Valley Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and adopted by the City Council, are intended for long-range planning and redevelopment. Various tools, such as Tax Increment Financing (TIF), can be used to facilitate growth and development in these areas.
