[Ord. No. 00-2452 § 21-1; Ord. No. 10-2933]
a. The area within the City of Summit designated by the properties listed in subsection
21-1.2c hereof would benefit from being designated as a Special Improvement District;
b. A District Management Corporation would assist this City in promoting and planning development within such area designated by subsection
21-1.2c hereof by providing administrative, planning and other services to benefit the businesses, employees, residents and consumers of the Special Improvement District;
c. An assessment may be imposed on properties within the Special Improvement
District and collected by the City of Summit with the regular property
tax payment or payment in lieu of taxes and that such assessment shall
be transferred to the District Management Corporation to exercise
the powers given to it by this Ordinance and to effectuate the purposes
of N.J.S.A. 40:56-65, et seq.;
d. It is in the best interests of the City of Summit and the public to create such Special Improvement District and to designate such District Management Corporation, which Corporation shall have a Board of Trustees chosen as provided in subsection
21-1.4a hereof; and
e. Public policy of the State of New Jersey permits the Common Council to protect the public, its welfare and health and the interests of the public in the safe and effective movement of persons and to preserve and enhance the function and appearance of the properties designated in subsection
21-1.2c hereof by adoption of Special Improvement Ordinance.
f. In the Mayor and Council President Downtown Review Task Force report
dated May 18, 2010 it was recommended to evaluate the SID boundaries.
The report stated: "In the last fifteen (15) years the downtown has
grown. The SID has not. The boundaries of the SID should be expanded."
According to the report this recommendation would provide a partial
means of paying for a retail recruiter stating that "The fourteenth
power the SID should exercise reads as follows: Recruit new businesses
to fill vacancies in and to balance the business mix of the SID."
g. The City Planner in a REVIEW COMMENT AND RECOMMENDATION section of
memo dated October 26, 2010 on the SID expansion subject advised as
follows:
"From a planning perspective, the proposed expansion is a logical
decision based on the following:
1. The downtown area has changed and grown since the original adoption
of the SID.
2. The expansion can be implemented without negatively affecting the
CRBD or the residential areas that abut the delineated area.
3. The character of the proposed expansion area has changed over the
years and can be better integrated with the existing SID.
4. The proposed expansion furthers the goals and objectives of the master
plan noted above."
[Ord. No. 2452 § 21-2; Ord. No. 10-2933]
As used in this section:
a. Special Improvement District (hereinafter called "SID") shall mean
an area within the City of Summit as designated by this section as
an area in which an assessment on all property within the SID shall
be imposed for the purpose of planning and promoting the economic
and general welfare of the SID and the City of Summit.
b. District Management Corporation shall mean an entity created by municipal
ordinance or incorporated pursuant to N.J.S.A. 15A:1-1, et seq. and
