The initial rate of levy which shall be imposed upon all real property within the District, including that used exclusively for residential purposes, shall be eighty-five cents on the one hundred dollars ($100.00) assessed valuation, but not to exceed seven thousand dollars ($7,000.00) for any one property or for contiguous properties under common ownership control which are used integrally as one commercial site.

Real property subject to partial tax abatement under the provisions of Chapters 99, 100 or 353, R.S.Mo., shall for the purpose of assessment and collection of ad valorem real estate taxes levied under the District, be assessed and ad valorem real estate taxes shall be collected upon the same assessed value on which its ad valorem real estate taxes and payment in lieu of taxes are based in the Ordinance adopted by the City of St. Louis approving the development plan of any such corporation and authorizing tax abatement.

D. The tax provided for by this ordinance shall be collected by the City and held in a special account to be used for all purposes authorized hereunder. In no event shall less than eighty (80%) percent of the taxes collected herein be used for security and security related improvements within the district as designated by the Board of Commissioners annually.
