Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Alexis M. Steger, Housing and Community Development Director SUBJECT: Calendar Year 2024 Urban Revitalization Program Applications DATE: February 10, 2025 INTRODUCTION This memorandum presents for City Council consideration the attached resolution related to the 2024 Calendar Year applications for residential property tax abatement. The resolution approves applications filed in accordance with the Urban Revitalization ordinance and directs that the approved applications be forwarded to the City Assessor. %Ta "011:loll] LI I lr� In 1980, the City Council established, under the guidelines set forth in Chapter 404 of the Code of Iowa, Dubuque's first two Urban Revitalization Areas - Jackson Park Urban Revitalization Area and West 11t" Street Urban Revitalization Area. In 1981, the City designated the Washington Street Urban Revitalization Area and amended the district in 2007 and 2008. In 1995, the Upper Main Urban Revitalization Area was designated and in 2002 the Langworthy, Old Main and Cathedral Urban Revitalization areas were designated. In January 2015, the Kunkel and Associates Urban Revitalization Plan was adopted providing a partial 10-year partial abatement for improvements. The Lange Estate and Paragon Square Urban Revitalization Plans were adopted in April 2016. Additionally, a number of other small areas have been designated over the years, but these designations have primarily expired. The Washington Neighborhood Urban Revitalization district was revised, the boundaries expanded in March 2007 and amended in 2008. In addition to the ten-year residential abatement on improvements, this district also allows three-year abatement for commercial property. The City Council passed an ordinance that established a new Urban Revitalization Area starting December 20, 2019, called the Dubuque Urban Revitalization Area, which consolidated and expanded many of the existing Urban Revitalization Plans. The purpose of the Urban Revitalization legislation is to attract development to specific areas, which might otherwise continue to deteriorate, thereby stabilizing and eventually increasing the tax base within those areas. The abatements are intended to stimulate Page 132 of 797 private investment by reducing the tax increases that would normally result from making improvements to residential property. PROCESS Applications for tax exemption were accepted until February 3, 2025. The Housing and Community Development Department reviews applications to ensure properties are located in a designated area. Staff from the Housing & Community Development Department inspect structures to verify the work is completed in accordance with applicable codes. If the City Council finds the applications to be in compliance with the appropriate urban revitalization plan, they are forwarded to the City Assessor who inspects the properties, determines the assessable value of the new improvements and transmits this information to the County Auditor. The applications will be forwarded to the City Assessor by March 1 st, 2025, to approve the assessment. Six (6) Urban Revitalization applications were received prior to February 3, 2025. Of these six, one is a late application for work that was completed in 2022. DISCUSSION The following applications were reviewed and approved: District Address Property Owner Type of Property Exemption Period DBQ UR Area 156 Bluff Steve & Robyn McAreavy Residential 10-year DBQ UR Area 346/348 W Locust Weaver Castle, LLC Residential 10-year DBQ UR Area 629 Groveland PI Jeffrey Robbins Residential 10-year DBQ UR Area 1412 Washington Kenny J Birch, Sr Residential 10-year DBQ UR Area 477 W. 3rd Troy & Stacy Lynn Froistad Residential 10-year DBQ UR Area 2050 White St (late app) Gonzalo Leon Residential 10-year RECOMMENDATION I recommend that City Council approve the attached resolution. 2 Page 133 of 797 Prepared by Alexis Steger Housing & Community Devel., 350 W.
