SUBJECT: Resolution of Necessity for the Amendment of the Derby Grange Road
Housing Urban Renewal Plan, Version 2022.1
DATE: October 7, 2022
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum presents for City Council consideration a Resolution of Necessity that
finds that: 1) an Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for the Derby Grange Road
Housing Urban Renewal Area ("District") is both necessary and appropriate; and 2) sets
a public hearing on the proposed amendment for November 21, 2022.
The proposed Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan ("Urban Renewal Plan") for
the District would remove property from the District.
BACKGROUND
On April 3, 2017, the Dubuque City Council originally established the Derby Grange Road
Housing Urban Renewal Area by Resolution No. 133-17 and most recently amended by
Resolution No. 282-17 on August 7, 2017. The primary goal of the plan is to stimulate,
through public involvement and commitment, private investment in new housing and
residential development.
DISCUSSION
The proposed removal of property and amendment of the Derby Grange Road Housing
Urban Renewal Area is necessary to accommodate the creation of the new John F.
Kennedy Road Urban Renewal Area.
The attached Resolution directs staff to prepare a Version 2022.1 Amended and Restated
Urban Renewal Plan for the Derby Grange Road Housing Urban Renewal Area.
Additionally, staff is required to hold a consultation process, required by law, with the
affected taxing entities concerning the proposed Plan.
A City Council public hearing on the 2022.1 Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan
will be scheduled for November 21, 2022. The public notice will be published four to
twenty days before the meeting to allow for the appropriate publication requirements. This
will allow time for preparation of the Plan and the consultation process with the taxing
entities.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION STEP
I recommend the City Council adopt the attached Resolution of Necessity that begins the
process of drafting the Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for Derby Grange
Road Housing Urban Renewal Area to remove property from the Area.
