amended. The Plan being considered for adoption contains a revenue allocation financing
provision pursuant to the Local Economic Development Act, Title 50, Chapter 29, Idaho Code, as
amended, that will cause property taxes resulting from any increase in equalized assessed
valuation in excess of the equalized assessed valuation as shown on the base assessment roll as
of January 1, 2021, to be allocated to the Agency for urban renewal purposes. The Chubbuck
Development Authority has adopted and recommended approval of the Plan.

Mr. Hillam stated that this development would be built under the creative community
zoning, which under the Chubbuck Development Authority's (CDA) resolution 2018-04
would qualify for certain reimbursements. The CDA recommended approval of the
