SUBJECT: Petition for Designation of Paragon Square Urban Revitalization Area
District
Frantz Community Investors
DATE: November 12, 2015
Housing & Community Development Department Director Alvin Nash recommends
approval of a petition for Urban Revitalization Area Designation from Frantz Community
Investors.
Urban Revitalization Chapter 404 of the Iowa Code (Urban Revitalization Act)
authorizes cities to designate areas as urban revitalization areas. Improvements to
qualified real estate within these designated areas may receive a total or partial
exemption from property taxes for a specified number of years. The exemptions are
intended to stimulate private investment by reducing tax increases that usually
accompany property improvements. This additional private investment provides a
long-term increase or stabilization in the area's tax base, enhances the visibility of
revitalization areas and/or supports important city objectives such as historic
preservation, economic development and affordable housing development.
The development plan proposes to create 29 affordable senior apartments that include
3 efficiency units, 8 one-bedroom units and 18 two-bedroom units. The project will
restore both buildings on the proposed parcels to their original historic significance.
The planned development site is located at 2887-2901 Central Avenue. The project
will utilize multiple sources of funding including Low Income Housing Tax Credits,
Federal Historic Tax Credits, State Historic Tax Credits, Workforce Housing Tax
Credits, Developer Equity, Permanent First Mortgage, and Abatement Mortgage. The
urban revitalization tax exemption will show local support for the project, which will
strengthen Frantz Community Investors Tax Credit application to the Iowa Finance
Authority.
The area is established under 404.1(3) and is defined as an area in which there is a
predominance of buildings or improvements which by reason of age, history,
architecture or significance should be preserved or restored to productive use. The
basis for an exemption under 404.3(4) and permit a one hundred percent exemption
from taxation on the actual value added by improvements for qualified real estate
assessed as residential property or assessed as commercial property, for a period of
ten years. Frantz Community Investors has agreed to this exemption schedule.
This assistance is very important to the success of the project. The application for
state tax credits is competitive. A developer receives points for city financial
assistance, with maximum points provided for assistance equaling 7% of project costs.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

RE: Petition for Designation of Paragon Square Urban Revitalization Area
District
Frantz Community Investors
Introduction
This memorandum presents for City Council a petition for Urban Revitalization Area
Designation from Frantz Community Investors. The memorandum recommends the
City Council review and approve the attached resolution to establish Paragon Square as
a property that meets the requirements for designation as required by Chapter 404 of
the Iowa Code.
Background
Urban Revitalization Chapter 404 of the Iowa Code (Urban Revitalization Act)
authorizes cities to designate areas as urban revitalization areas. Improvements to
qualified real estate within these designated areas may receive a total or partial
exemption from property taxes for a specified number of years. The exemptions are
intended to stimulate private investment by reducing tax increases that usually
accompany property improvements. This additional private investment provides a
long-term increase or stabilization in the area's tax base, enhances the visibility of
revitalization areas and/or supports important city objectives such as historic
preservation, economic development and affordable housing development.
In order to implement the provisions of Chapter 404, the City determine the area is
eligible for exemption, prepare a revitalization plan for each designated area, and hold
at least one public hearing after proper notice. The law mandates specific criteria and
procedures must be followed.
Discussion
The development plan proposes to create 29 affordable senior apartments that include
3 efficiency units, 8 one-bedroom units and 18 two-bedroom units. The project will
restore both buildings on the proposed parcels to their original historic significance.
The planned development site is located at 2887-2901 Central Avenue. The project
will utilize multiple sources of funding including Low Income Housing Tax Credits,
Federal Historic Tax Credits, State Historic Tax Credits, Workforce Housing Tax
Credits, Developer Equity, Permanent First Mortgage, and Abatement Mortgage. The
urban revitalization tax exemption will show local support for the project, which will
strengthen Frantz Community Investors Tax Credit application to the Iowa Finance
Authority.
The area is established under 404.1 (3) and is defined as an area in which there is a
predominance of buildings or improvements which by reason of age, history,
architecture or significance should be preserved or restored to productive use. The
basis for an exemption under 404.3(4) and permit a one hundred percent exemption
from taxation on the actual value added by improvements for qualified real estate
assessed as residential property or assessed as commercial property, for a period of
ten years. Frantz Community Investors has agreed to this exemption schedule.
This assistance is very important to the success of the project. The application for
state tax credits is competitive. A developer receives points for city financial
assistance, with maximum points provided for assistance equaling 7% of project costs.
Budgetary Impact
The property value, based upon 2015 Beacon data, is $27,560 for land and $14,440 for
dwelling for a total taxable value of$42,000 for the property at 2887 Central Avenue.
The property value is $55,100 for land and $47,000 for dwelling for a total taxable value
of$102,110 for 2901 Central Avenue. Dubuque City Assessor Rick Engelken the ten
year abatement will provide $196,450 to support the project.
Recommendation
I recommend that the City Council approve the attached resolution confirming the need
for the Paragon Square Urban Revitalization Plan and directing staff to work with the
City Assessor to complete Exhibit 5S.
Action Requested
The Action Step is for the City Council to adopt the attached resolution and authorize
staff to work the City Assessor to complete Exhibit 5S prior to show local support for the
development.

URBAN REVITALIZATION PROGRAM
City of Dubuque, Iowa
PETITION FOR DESIGNATION
Minimum Requirements
Individuals wishing the designation of a property or properties as an URBAN
REVITALIZATION AREA must petition the City. The following information must be included
with all petitions. Additional documentation and explanatory narratives may be requested.
1)Eligibility of the Proposed Designation:
Per Section 3 of the criteria of Attachment A of the Urban Revitalization Program we believe that the
Holy Ghost site qualifies for the program due to its historical significance.
• An area in which there is a predominance of buildings or improvements which by reason of age,history,
architecture or significance should be preserved or restored to productive use.
2)Legal Description:
2887 Central Avenue—Lot 2—I Paragon Square
2901 Central Avenue—Lot 1 —I Paragon Square
See attached maps.
3)Valuation of Propert(ies):
2887 Central Avenue—Land— $27,560,Building— $14,440,Total— $42,000
2901 Central Avenue—Land— $55,100,Building— $47,000,Total— $102,110
4)Property Ownership:
Holy Ghost Dubuque Building, L.L.C.
2801 Beverly Rd. SW suite 300
Cedar Rapid,IA 52404
(a wholly owned subsidiary of Frantz Community Investors)
5)Zoning Classification:
M-Multi Residential. No zoning changes will be requested. Proposed use is allowable with current
zoning.
6) Applicability of Proposed Designation:
The petition is applicable to the entire two parcels for use as Senior Housing.
The petition is limited to rehabilitation of existing structures.
7)Relocation
The buildings are vacant. No relocation is required.
8)Proposed Improvements:
Request must include a narrative describing the proposed project and the
improvements to be made to the property(ies).
The project proposes to create 29 Senior Housing apartments that include 3 efficiency units, 8 one-
bedroom units and 18 two-bedroom units. The project will restore both of the buildings on the proposed
parcels to their original historic significance.
9) Anticipated Impact of Improvements:
All Section 42 Senior Housing projects are valued with a mandated 9.47% capitalization rate. Based on
year 1 net operating income, the expected valued of the project will be approximately $802,000.
Expected valuation without abatement would be approximately $604,000. Total project cost is
anticipated to be $6,206,656.
10)Funding Sources:
Senior Housing Tax Credits $2,758,429
Federal Historic Tax Credits $1,072,665
State Historic Tax Credits $1,270,262
Workforce Housing Tax Credits $ 310,332
Developer Equity $ 155,264
Permanent First Mortgage $ 494,610
Abatement Mortgage $ 145,003
Total $6,206,566
11)Economic Justification:
Without tax abatement and other City of Dubuque financial support the project will fall short of the
necessary scoring criteria as established by the Iowa Finance Authority for the Senior Housing Tax
Credit Program. With out the Senior Housing award the project is unfeasible as that represents the
largest single funding source.
12) Summary Statement:
Holy Ghost Convent and School, currently located at 2901 (formerly 2905) Central Avenue &
2887 Central Avenue are currently qualified for the National Register of Historic Places. Both
the Part 1 and Part 2 of the National Park Service requirements have been approved and will
meet all standards by NPS and Section 404.1 of the Iowa Code referring to deteriorating
neighborhoods and designated as such by the City of Dubuque.
The original school (built in 1896) exterior masonry consists of a limestone foundation and red
brick walls with limestone accents. Both the stone and brick walls are in good condition with
only minimal areas of loose or missing mortar which is easily repaired meeting NPS standards.
There are areas of concern regarding the roof which is in need of repair. The asphalt roof will be
removed and a new roof, with decking repaired and replaced, along with other improvements.
The school building exhibits a mix of Revival style architecture popular in the 1890s and early
201h century, united by the red brick construction and stone detailing.
Holy Ghost convent(originally built in 1903) exterior masonry consists of a similar brick and
limestone accents to the Holy Ghost School, only changed by the time period of construction.
The grounds around the convent and the school are generally blacktopped for parking and will
meet parking requirements of 1 parking place per senior housing unit by the City of Dubuque.
The current properties, with City support, will impact a distressed area of the City of Dubuque
near to the downtown as well as neighboring urban neighborhoods.
The integrity of the surrounding neighborhood will be positively impacted by this project. We
believe this project offers an outstanding Senior Housing solution for the existing aging
population in this neighborhood. FCI is proud to be a part of the continuing effort to revitalize
the City of Dubuque, the Paragon Square neighborhoods and the community as a whole..
