BACKGROUND The Derby Grange Road 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 two residential districts (Rustic Point Estates and Timber Ridge Estates) and improvements along portions of Kennedy Road and Derby Grange 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 February 13, 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 utility improvements in the Area. With the 10 year life of the Urban Renewal Area it is projected to generate approximately $4.1 million in increment with $1 .7 million going to affordable housing throughout the community and $2.4 million going to improvements in the Area. See attached financial summary. The attached Resolution directs staff to prepare an Urban Renewal Plan for the Derby Grange Road 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 Derby Grange Road 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. Attachment RESOLUTION NO. 69-17 RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY FINDING THAT CERTAIN PROPERTY IN AND NEAR RUSTIC POINT ESTATES AND TIMBER RIDGE ESTATES IS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREA AND THAT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SAID AREA IS NECESSARY IN THE INTEREST OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA, AND SETTING A DATE FOR HEARING ON A PROPOSED URBAN RENEWAL PLAN FOR SAID DISTRICT WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Dubuque has determined that the creation of the Derby Grange Road Housing Urban Renewal Area will stimulate, through public involvement and commitment, private investment in new housing and residential development as defined by Iowa Code 403.17(12), as described in the Urban Renewal Plan; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the area described in Attachment A to this Resolution meets the definition of an economic development area as defined in Chapter 403 "Urban Renewal" of the Iowa Code; and WHEREAS, a significant need for housing units exists in the community and local resources are needed to advance the development; and WHEREAS, Iowa Code Chapter 403 requires that before urban renewal authority may be exercised, a City Council must adopt a resolution of necessity finding that the area in question is a slum, blighted or economic development area, and that so designating such area is necessary in the interest of the public health, safety or welfare of the residents of the municipality. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA: Section 1. That the proposed Derby Grange Road Housing Urban Renewal Area, generally described in Attachment A to this Resolution, is an economic development area as defined by Chapter 403 of the Iowa Code, appropriate for public improvements related to housing and residential development, and is appropriate for an urban renewal project.
