elTRID Guidelines<br />
• Based upon URATIF<br />
Guidelines (including elements<br />
such as <strong>the</strong> Hiring Plan,<br />
MWDBE requirements and<br />
green building)<br />
• Set investment priorities for<br />
value capture<br />

with <strong>the</strong> PAAC can enter into<br />
joint development agreements<br />
with private developers<br />
• Assemble and remediate<br />
development sites within <strong>the</strong><br />
study area<br />
Project Review<br />
• TRID funding application<br />
similar to TIF for project<br />
requesting stand-alone<br />
financing to determine project<br />
feasibility<br />
• Stand-alone projects can be<br />
project specific TRID<br />
financing or GAP financing<br />
from VC Fund<br />
• Ensure market viability <strong>of</strong><br />
proposed development<br />
• Enter into development<br />
agreements to ensure goals<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> local community<br />
• Collect administrative fees for<br />
stand-alone financings<br />
District-wide Improvements<br />
• Prioritize infrastructure and<br />
transit within <strong>the</strong> study area<br />
• Determine structure <strong>of</strong> pooled<br />
financings for district-wide<br />
improvements<br />
• Choose agency responsible<br />

Value Capture Area Boundaries<br />
• Define areas <strong>of</strong> value capture<br />
within <strong>the</strong> proposed elTRID<br />
Boundary, expanding <strong>the</strong><br />
area over time to correspond<br />
to market conditions<br />
Annual Reporting<br />
• Review <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> elTRID standalone<br />
financings and VC fund<br />
activity<br />
• Potential return <strong>of</strong> any unutilized<br />
incremental revenue to <strong>the</strong><br />
taxing bodies<br />
elTRIDRA will implement <strong>the</strong> value<br />
capture strategy which is critical to<br />
guide TOD led revitalization in <strong>the</strong><br />
study area. Fur<strong>the</strong>r, oversight will<br />
make certain that TOD elements<br />
are incorporated into <strong>the</strong> project<br />
design and that development builds<br />
<strong>of</strong>f o<strong>the</strong>r investments in public<br />
infrastructure and <strong>the</strong> transit<br />
system. The strategy will blend<br />
asset preservation in stable<br />
portions.<br />
Obviously <strong>the</strong> capture <strong>of</strong> TRID<br />
revenues within <strong>the</strong> proposed value<br />
capture areas represents taxes<br />
foregone by <strong>the</strong> local taxing bodies.<br />
Every dollar <strong>of</strong> this public<br />
investment will leverage at l<strong>east</strong> six<br />
dollars <strong>of</strong> private investment. The<br />
strategy includes <strong>the</strong> ability for<br />
some revenues to be retained for<br />
general government use and a<br />
return <strong>of</strong> excess TRID revenues at<br />
certain times. However, significant<br />
economic impacts are expected<br />
within <strong>the</strong> study area following<br />
implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> elTRID.<br />
Estimated benefits include private<br />
investment, job creation, retention<br />
<strong>of</strong> existing jobs and o<strong>the</strong>r non-real<br />
property or income tax<br />
revenues/fees.
