A Overview of the proposed Simon Properties Group Wolf Ranch retail development at the southwest corner
of SH 29 and Interstate 35 -- Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager
Yantis gave Council an overview of the proposed 100 -acre development which will contain major "big box"
retailers and specialty stores with the first phase projected to be open in FY2005. He noted that this is the
first development application under the new Unified Development Code (UDC) and that Simon Properties
chose to wait for the adoption of the UDC. He said the development is consistent with the Future Land Use
Pian, saying it will be an open air shopping center with uniform architectural design.
Yantis gave Council the projections of an estimated assessed valuation of $55 million at full build -out,
estimated annual property tax revenue for the City of $168,000, and estimated annual sales tax revenue of
$3.8 million. He said the estimated annual utility revenue will be approximately $1,280,000, with a
commitment from Simon Properties to choose City of Georgetown -provided electric service at the Round
Rock Simon Project. He said the estimated annual gross sales will be $209.6 million with total on-site cost
of approximately $22 million, required off-site road improvements of approximately $8.5 million, and
required off-site utility costs of approximately $3 million.
Yantis said the developer is requesting assistance with the on-site costs, off-site road improvement costs,
and off-site utilities. He said there is a commitment from TXDOT for funding some off-site road
improvements.
Included in the presentation were the suggested methods for repayment through performance-based sales
tax sharing with a percentage of the sales tax from the development funding all City assistance costs and
other financing options such as GTEC/State Infrastructure Bank (SIB) loans for road improvements and/or
tax increment financing (TIF) for certain on-site improvements.
