SUBJECT: Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for Dubuque Industrial
Center Economic Development District
DATE: May 21, 2015
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to forward for City Council review and approval the
Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for the Dubuque Industrial Center
Economic Development District. The proposed amendment will comply with the
provisions of House File 2460, adopted by the Iowa legislature in 2012, requiring urban
renewal plans be amended or modified to reflect any active urban renewal project.
The proposed amendment of this district would expand the District to include an area
known as the Graf Farm and referred to as the new Subarea F.
BACKGROUND
The Dubuque Industrial Center Economic Development District was created on May 2,
1988. The District is an urban renewal area which allows the City of Dubuque to capture
tax increment revenue from improvements made in the District in order to promote
economic development activities. The original area included the Dubuque Industrial
Center (known as Subarea A) and has been expanded several times over the past
several decades to include the Dubuque Industrial Center West, the County Farm, the
Bergfeld Farm, the North Siegert Farm, the Rail Site, and the South Siegert Farm
(known as Subareas B, C, D, and E, collectively).
On April 13, 2015 the County Board of Supervisors approved entering into a Joint
Agreement with the City for the Dubuque Industrial Center Economic Development
District. This agreement is consent from the County for the City to exercise Urban
Renewal authority in the portion of the Area that is outside, but within two miles of, City
limits. This meets the requirements of Iowa Code Chapter 403.17(4). The agreement is
attached for your review.
On April 20, 2015, a Resolution of Necessity was adopted finding that the area being
considered for urban renewal district designation is an economic development area and
that the development of the area is necessary in the interest of the public welfare of the
residents of the city.
On May 4, 2015, a Consultation was conducted with the affected taxing entities as
required by Chapter 403.5 of the Iowa Code, providing an opportunity to discuss,
question, or object to the findings in these documents. Prior to the meeting, the taxing
entities were mailed copies of the Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan and the
Notice of Public Hearing. No representatives were in attendance.
On May 20, 2015, the Plan was reviewed by the Long Range Planning Commission.
The Commission has forwarded its recommendation to the City Council affirming that
the Plan is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan for development.
On May 22, 2015 the public notice of public hearing was published to allow for the
appropriate publication requirements.
DISCUSSION
The proposed expansion and amendment of the Dubuque Industrial Center Economic
Development District would result in the addition of approximately 166 acres of land that
currently lies just to the west of Subarea B. Once developed, this will provide
approximately 80 acres of buildable land, depending on access and grading plans.
The purchase price is $2,078,750 or $12,500 per acre. The estimated site development
costs are $7.4 million. The total costs per developable acre when fully developed is
estimated at $120,000. This compares favorably with the asking price of$120,000 per
acre for current industrial park property. The City previously issued debt using Dubuque
Industrial Center Urban Renewal District Tax Increment Financing revenues to fund this
purchase.
The Dubuque Comprehensive Plan calls for sufficient opportunities for industrial
development sites within the community; promotes the retention and expansion of
existing, and attraction of new, industrial development opportunities in suitable
locations; and encourages annexation of land suitable for industrial usage if necessary.
The Comprehensive Plan also calls for reducing unemployment, achieving economic
stability, and increasing the standard of living for all citizens. In order to reach this goal,
the Comprehensive Plan lists objectives of evaluating potential commercial sites, based
on the city's future land use map.
The City of Dubuque has had tremendous success with economic development
receiving multiple national recognitions for job creation. This is in no small part to the
City's decision in the mid 1990's to acquire and develop over 900 acres of property to
provide a 20-year supply of industrial park land. This proposed expansion of the
Dubuque Industrial Center Economic Development District would further the City's goals
for economic development.
RECOMMENDATION/ ACTION STEP
I recommend that following the public hearing, the attached resolution adopting the
Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan be approved to support reinvestment
efforts in the District.

AMENDED and RESTATED
DUBUQUE INDUSTRIAL CENTER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
URBAN RENEWAL PLAN
City of Dubuque, Iowa
A. INTRODUCTION
This AMENDED and RESTATED URBAN RENEWAL PLAN (the "Plan") has been
prepared to provide for the further development and redevelopment of the DUBUQUE
INDUSTRIAL CENTER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (the "District') first
established by the City of Dubuque on May 2, 1988. Its intent is to stimulate economic
development activities within the expanded District through the commitment of public
actions as specified herein.
To achieve this objective, the City of Dubuque shall undertake the urban renewal
actions specified in this Plan, pursuant to the powers granted to it under Chapter 403 of
the Iowa Code, Urban Renewal Law.
This Plan is an amendment and restatement of the Dubuque Industrial Center
Economic Development District Urban Renewal Plan adopted by Resolution 130-88 of
the City Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa on May 2, 1988 and subsequently
amended by Resolution 484-90 on December 17, 1990, Resolution 142-97 on April 7,
1997, Resolution 478-97 on November 17, 1997, Resolution 15-08 on January 7, 2008,
Resolution 101-08 on March 17, 2008, Resolution 109-08 on April 7, 2008, Resolution
87-11 on March 7, 2011 , and Resolution 171-13 on June 3, 2013. This Plan shall serve
as a new urban renewal plan for the District described herein.
The division of taxation authorized by Section 403.19 and the separation of incremental
taxes as defined in Section 403.19(2) have been implemented in the existing area of the
District (the different areas of the District are hereinafter referred to as Subareas).
Under the terms of this Amended and Restated Plan, the tax increment mechanism
shall be continued and implemented within a new Subarea being added to the District.
Incremental taxes shall continue to be determined separately with respect to each of the
Subareas comprising the District, and when collected shall be applied, subject to such
liens and priorities as may exist or be from time to time provided, with respect to the
Amended and Restated Dubuque Industrial Center Economic Development District, as
so amended.
B. OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives of the Plan are the development and redevelopment of the
District for economic development activities, primarily industrial park development,
3
through:
1 . Provision of marketable industrial development sites for the purpose of
job-creating economic development activities;
2. Provision of public infrastructure improvements, including sanitary sewer,
water and stormwater detention, supportive of full development of the
District;
3. Provision of a safe, efficient and attractive circulation system;
4. Establishment of design standards which will assure cohesive and
compatible development and redevelopment of the District;
5. Provision of public amenities that provide an aesthetically appealing
environment, including open space, buffering, landscaping, water features,
signage and lighting to create a distinctive and attractive setting;
6. Creation of financial incentives necessary to encourage new and existing
businesses to invest in the District; and
7. Expansion of the property tax base of the District.
C. DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
The District is located entirely within the County of Dubuque, State of Iowa. Most of the
District, including all of Subareas A, B, C, D, and E currently is within the corporate
limits of the City of Dubuque. In accordance with Iowa Code Section 403.17(4),
Dubuque County consented to the inclusion of Subarea F in the District in a Joint
Agreement between the City and County, dated April 20, 2015. The City expects that
Subarea F ultimately will become part of the City of Dubuque.
The City of Dubuque believes that the objectives of the Plan can best be accomplished
by defining the real property included within the District as six separate areas so as to
distinguish the original District (Subarea A) from the subsequent expansion areas
(Subareas B, C, D, E, and F).
The descriptions of the boundaries of each Subarea are attached to this Plan as
ATTACHMENT D, District Boundary Description by Subarea.
The boundaries of the District are delineated on the Subarea Map, attached to this Plan
as ATTACHMENT A.
The City of Dubuque reserves the right to further modify the boundaries of the District at
some future date. Any amendments to the Plan will be completed in accordance with
4
Chapter 403 of the Iowa Code, Urban Renewal Law.

regulations of the existing Dubuque Industrial Center Planned Industrial District.
The allowed uses provide for a mix of commercial and industrial land use
activities within a quality industrial park setting.
LAND USE maps (Attachments B-1 and B-2) identify the existing and the
proposed land uses within Subareas A, B, C, D, E, and F.
2. Planning and Design Criteria
The planning criteria to be used to guide the physical development of Subareas
A, B, C, D, E, and F are those standards and guidelines contained within the City
of Dubuque's Unified Development Code and other applicable local, state and
federal codes and ordinances.
a. Subarea A development will continue to be additionally governed by the
Conditions of Development and Operation Documents of the Dubuque
Industrial Center Planned Industrial District as amended from time to time.
b. Subareas B, C, D, and E will develop under a PI Planned Industrial District
ordinance as required by Section 16-5-24 of the City of Dubuque's Unified
Development Code. Development will follow the Planned Unit
Development regulations which require a conceptual development plan
and specific design and performance standards to be approved by
ordinance.
C. Subarea F is intended to develop as an Industrial area similar to Subareas
B, C, D, and E.
F. LAND ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION
The City of Dubuque is prepared to acquire and dispose of property in support of the
development and redevelopment of the District within the parameters set forth below.
1. Land Acquisition
The City expects to acquire all of the land located within Subarea F and to make
the same available for private development in accordance with this Plan.
2. Land Disposition
8
Publicly held land will be sold for the development of viable uses consistent with
this Plan and not for purposes of speculation.
Land will be disposed of in accordance with the requirements set forth in Chapter
403 of the Iowa Code, Urban Renewal Law. Developers will be selected on the
basis of the quality of their proposals and their ability to carry out such proposals
while complying with the requirements of this Plan.
Developers will be required by contractual agreement to observe the Land Use
Requirements and Planning and Design Criteria of this Plan. The contract and
other disposition documents will set forth the provisions, standards and criteria
for achieving the objectives and requirements outlined in this Plan.
3. Relocation Requirements
No relocation is anticipated at this time.
G. FINANCING ACTIVITIES
To meet the OBJECTIVES of this Plan and to encourage the development of the District
and private investment therein, the City of Dubuque is prepared to provide financial
assistance to qualified industries and businesses through the making of loans or grants
under Chapter 15A of the Iowa Code and through the use of tax increment financing
under Chapter 403 of the Iowa Code.
1 . Chapter 15A Loan or Grant
The City of Dubuque has determined that the making of loans or grants of public
funds to qualified industries and businesses is necessary to aid in the planning,
undertaking and completion of urban renewal projects authorized under this Plan
within the meaning of Section 384.24(3)(q) of the Iowa Code. Accordingly, in
furtherance of the objectives of this Plan, the City of Dubuque may determine to
issue bonds or loan agreements, in reliance upon the authority of Section
384.24A, Section 384.24(3)(q), Section 403.12 (general obligation bonds) or
Section 403.9 (tax increment bonds), for the purpose of making loans or grants of
public funds to qualified businesses located within the District. Alternatively, the
City may determine to use available funds for the making of such loans or grants.
In determining qualifications of recipients and whether to make any such
individual loans or grants, the City of Dubuque shall consider one or more of the
factors set forth in Section 15A.1 of the Iowa Code on a case-by-case basis.
2. Tax Increment Financing
The City of Dubuque is prepared to utilize tax increment financing as a means of
financing eligible costs incurred to implement the Public Purpose Activities
9
identified in Part D of this Plan. Bonds, tax rebate agreements and\or loan
agreements may be issued by the City under the authority of Section 403.9 of the
Iowa Code (tax increment bonds) or Section 384.24A, Section 384.24(3)(q) and
Section 403.12 (general obligation bonds).
The City acknowledges that the use of tax increment revenues delays the ability
of other local taxing bodies to realize immediately the direct tax benefits of new
development in the District. The City believes, however, that the use of tax
increment revenues to finance the development of new industrial land and to
promote private investment in the District is necessary in the public interest to
achieve the OBJECTIVES of this Plan. Without the use of this special financing
tool, new investment may not otherwise occur or may occur within another
jurisdiction. If new development does not take place in Dubuque, property values
could stagnate and the City, County and School District may receive less taxes
during the duration of this Plan than they would have if this Plan were not
implemented.
Tax increment financing will provide a long-term payback in overall increased tax
base for the City, County and School District. The initial public investment
required to generate new private investment will ultimately increase the taxable
value of the District well beyond its existing base value.
Tax increment reimbursement may be sought for, among other things, the
following costs to the extent they are incurred by the City:
a. Planning and administration of the Plan;
b. Construction of public infrastructure improvements and facilities within the
District;
C. Acquisition, installation, maintenance and replacement of public
investments throughout the District including but not limited to street lights,
landscaping and buffers, signage and appropriate amenities;
d. Acquisition of land and/or buildings and preparation of same for sale or
lease to private developers, including any "write down" of the sale price of
the land and/or building;
e. Preservation, conservation, development or redevelopment of buildings or
facilities within the District to be sold or leased to qualified businesses;
f. Loans or grants to qualified businesses under Chapter 15A of the Iowa
Code, including tax rebate payments, debt service payments on any
bonds issued to finance such loans or grants, for purposes of expanding
the business or activity, or other qualifying loan programs established in
support of the Plan; and
10
g. Providing the matching share for a variety of local, state and federal grants
and loans.
h. Any of the costs incurred in connection with any of the PUBLIC PURPOSE
ACTIVITIES described in Part D of this Plan.
3. Proposed Amount of Indebtedness
At this time, the extent of improvements and new development within the District
is only generally known. As such, the amount and duration for use of the tax
increment revenues for public improvements and/or private development can
only be estimated; however, the actual use and amount of tax increment
revenues to be used by the City for District activities will be determined at the
time specific development is proposed.
It is anticipated that the maximum amount of indebtedness which will qualify for
tax increment revenue reimbursement during the duration of this Plan, including
acquisition, public improvements and private development assistance within the
District, will not exceed $50,000,000.
The City of Dubuque's current general obligation debt is $126,647,973 (a list of
the outstanding obligations is found at Attachment C) and the applicable
constitutional debt limit is $196,031 ,074 for the Fiscal Year ending June 30,
2016, which is the fiscal year immediately following the update of this Plan.
H. STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS
All provisions necessary to conform with state and local laws have been complied with
by the City of Dubuque in the implementation of this Plan and its supporting documents.
I. DURATION OF APPROVED URBAN RENEWAL PLAN
1 . Subarea A
This Plan shall continue in effect for Subarea A until terminated by action of the
City Council, but in no event before the City of Dubuque has received full
reimbursement from all incremental taxes of its advances and principal and
interest payable on all Tax Increment Financing or general obligations issued to
carry out the OBJECTIVES of the Plan.
2. Subareas B, C, D, E, and F
This Plan shall continue in effect until terminated by the City Council; provided,
however, that the collection of tax increment revenues from properties located in
Subareas B, C, D, E, and F shall be limited as provided by law (currently twenty
(20) years from the calendar year following the calendar year in which the City
11
first certifies to the County Auditor the amount of any loans, advances,
indebtedness or bonds which qualify for payment from the division of tax
increment revenue provided for in Section 403.19 (tax increment financing) of the
Iowa Code.)
The DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS established, or as
amended from time to time by the City of Dubuque Zoning Ordinance, shall remain in
effect in perpetuity.
J. SEVERABILITY
In the event one or more provisions contained in this Plan shall be held for any reason
to be invalid, illegal, unauthorized or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality, unauthorization or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this
Plan and this Urban Renewal Plan shall be construed and implemented as if such
provision had never been contained herein.
K. AMENDMENT OF APPROVED URBAN RENEWAL PLAN
This Plan may be amended from time to time to respond to development opportunities.
Any such amendment shall conform to the requirements of Chapter 403 of the Iowa
Code. Any change effecting any property or contractual right can be effectuated only in

RE: Dubuque Industrial Center Economic Development District Expansion — Graf Farm
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
Introduction
On May 20, 2015, the Long Range Planning Advisory Commission reviewed the proposed
expansion of the Dubuque Industrial Center Economic Development District to add the Graf
Farm as Subarea F.
Discussion
At the Commission meeting, Maurice Jones, Economic Development Director, reviewed that the
amendment will add the 166-acre Graf Farm as Subarea F with access to the financial tools and
incentives available in the Dubuque Industrial Center Economic Development District. Mr. Jones
reviewed the subarea's location, purchase price, expected developable area, estimated
development costs, and intended land use. He noted the proposal is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and asked for the Commission's support of the expansion.
The Commission reviewed the primary objectives of the Dubuque Industrial Center Economic
Development District. They discussed with Mr. Jones the benefits of the proposed expansion,
inventory of available industrial land, use of tax increment financing, and economic conditions
for industrial development. They noted the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Recommendation
By a vote of 5-0, the Long Range Planning Advisory Commission recommends approval of the
Dubuque Industrial Center Economic Development District expansion to add the Graf Farm as
Subarea F because it is consistent with the 2012 Dubuque Comprehensive Plan.
Respectfully submitted,
Chad Darter, Chairperson
Long Range Planning Advisory Commission
