There is no ‘expected’ tax revenue at this time, as the concept site plan has not been determined yet. The taxable value will be estimated once a site plan has been designed based on community input. City Council previously asked staff to provide analysis of the level of taxable value that would be required to break even on the investment in this property. The analysis, completed in 2025, reflected that an appraised value of about $64 Million could generate the tax revenue to break even on the current debt over about 20 years. This value could be considered a potential ‘target value’, but is not an ‘expected value’, as the expected value will be estimated based on the concept site plan that is developed through community input. Please refer to the May 27, 2025 City Council Workshop (Discussion Item B) for a detailed explanation of the break-even analysis and the assumptions that were used in the calculation.

The Clinton Crossing Council Subcommittee meetings are public meetings and the dates are posted on the community calendar when they are available; there is no meeting scheduled at this time. The Subcommittee has only had two regular meetings to date, which were scheduled based on availability of members and City Staff, but a more regular meeting cadence is expected to be determined for the remainder of the year. Once the City enters contract with a design firm for assistance, extensive public engagement will begin and there will be several opportunities to participate in comments or dialogue with City Council members, City Staff, the design team, and other residents. In-person engagements are anticipated to begin in May or June. Information about engagement events will be posted on this project webpage and advertised through additional City channels such as e-news and social media. All residents are strongly encouraged to participate in public engagement activities so that the concept site plan will be reflective of resident priorities.

The Comprehensive Plan noted that there was community input regarding desire for gathering spaces and increased activities downtown, and that the downtown focus area [now called Clinton Crossing] should be evaluated for a community center. One of the current site features under consideration is an ‘event facility’, which could capture a variety of uses; desired uses will be further defined through community input. An event facility could potentially be used for public or private events. Public events at the facility could include social, recreational, and educational activities that would be typical of a community center.

The nature of public/semi-public space for this property is yet to be defined, and this option could be considered. Any use proposed in the community’s concept site plan will be analyzed in a traffic study to determine if it would fit within current infrastructure capacities and acceptable service levels. Although this has not yet been studied, one consideration is that a performance center may cause higher peak traffic levels than some of the other uses noted in the current site concepts.
