Consider Offer by Northgate Church to Purchase Property in The COR (portions may be closed to the public)

The Development Management Team has been meeting with representatives of Northgate for the purchase of a site in The COR to construct a church facility.  Wayne Skaff of Northgate Church will be present for the work session to present their proposal to construct a 21st century church in the heart of the COR.  Attached to this case is the proposed site plan for the church, located at the corner of Sunwood Drive and the proposed Center Street alignment. 

During discussions with the representatives of Northgate, much focus has been on the issues of purchase price, a potential payment in lieu of taxes, shared parking, and participation in the potential special service district for the increased level of service and maintenance in The COR.  These items will be reviewed following the presentation.  Staff will request that portions of this meeting be closed to discuss the purchase price for the land with the members of the HRA following the presentation by Mr. Skaff and discussion.

Provide direction to the Development Management Team regarding the offer to purchase land in The COR by Northgate Church. 

Work performed to date is covered by the Development Management contract and staff time for the HRA.
