Title
Resolution to Approve Near North PUD Amended Development Agreement, 626-724 North Main Street
Memorandum
Attached is a resolution to approve the Near North PUD Amended Development Agreement. The amendment describes environmental remediation to be undertaken on the site and follow-up reporting requirements.

The Near North PUD zoning, site plan and development agreement were approved in September of 2009. The project consists of a 65,144 square foot mixed-use building with 39 residential units, 2,714 square feet of retail, and 1,553 square feet of office use.

The petitioner is seeking approval of a brownfield plan to enable this project to seek Michigan Business Tax (MBT) Brownfield Redevelopment Credits from the State of Michigan. The brownfield plan does not include any tax increment financing (TIF) but is required to seek Michigan Business Tax credits.

Amendment of the development agreement is proposed in conjunction with City Council’s consideration of the Near North Brownfield Plan. The proposed amendment to the Near North development agreement will ensure conformance with the City of Ann Arbor’s brownfield cleanup requirements and follow-up reporting as part of the construction of the project.
