INTRODUCTION
This memorandum presents for City Council consideration a Resolution of Necessity
that: 1) finds that an Urban Renewal Plan for the South Pointe Housing Urban Renewal
Area is both necessary and appropriate; and 2) sets a public hearing on the proposed
plan for March 20, 2017.
BACKGROUND
The South Pointe Housing Urban Renewal Area (the "Area") will be an urban renewal
area which allows the City of Dubuque to capture tax increment revenue from
improvements made in the Urban Renewal Area in order to promote housing and
residential development activities. The Area will be created primarily for the
development of a residential district and improvements along portions of Highway 20,
North Cascade Road, English Mill Road, and Rockdale Road. In addition to funding the
development of infrastructure, tax increment financing will be used to benefit Low and
Moderate Income (LMI) individuals in our community at large.
As portions of the Area are outside, but within two miles of, city limits, the City is
required to have a Joint Agreement with the County in order to exercise its urban
renewal authority in the county portions of the Area. This Agreement was approved by
the County on January 9, 2017 (attached).
The proposed Urban Renewal Plan for the Area describes the specific use of tax
increment funds, reflecting the utilization of tax rebates, the construction of public
infrastructure, and other planned expenditures.
DISCUSSION
The primary goal of the Plan is to stimulate, through public involvement and
commitment, private investment in new housing and residential development as defined
by the Iowa Code Section 403.17(12). This proposed Area would result in improved
roads and utilities in the Area, as well as funding to assist with LMI family housing
anywhere within the City at large. In particular, the Area would provide for road and
utility improvements in the Area.
With the 10 year life of the Urban Renewal Area it is projected to generate
approximately $12 million in increment with $4.6 million going to affordable housing
throughout the community and $2.7 million going to improvements in the Area. See
attached financial summary.
The attached Resolution directs staff to prepare an Urban Renewal Plan for the South
Pointe Housing Urban Renewal Area, setting forth the area to be included and the
urban renewal projects that are currently expected to be undertaken in the Area, and for
LMI households in the community at large. 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 Urban Renewal Plan will be scheduled for March
20, 2017. 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 creating the Urban Renewal Plan for the South Pointe Housing Urban
Renewal Area.
The proposed Plan will provide for the continued use of tools that encourage investment
and development activities in the Area and support revitalization within the Area and the
community at large.
