Subject: RE: Greater Downtown UR Area Legal
Jill,
We suggest fixing the scrivener’s error sooner rather than later. It seems to us that the Auditor will likely have a hard
time accepting the Ordinance with the incorrect legal description as it will be difficult for them to identify the taxing
district without making assumptions about what the legal description should have been.
How about a Resolution Nunc Pro Tunc with legislative findings from the Council that there was substantial compliance,
but still a scrivener’s error in the legal description in the Authorizing Resolution and in the Amended and Restated
Plan? The Resolution Nunc Pro Tunc could state that it relates back to the original date of the Authorizing Resolution,
etc.
We would not rely on a resolution to fix the Ordinance. Instead, we suggest an Amending Ordinance to fix that portion
of the Ordinance containing the legal description and that ratifies and confirms the rest of the adopted Ordinance. If the
1
City has not already published the Summary Ordinance, we would put that publication on hold until the Amending
Ordinance is adopted by three readings or waiver of same by at least 75% of the entire Council.
Crenna, what do you think about this approach? Let us know if you would like to discuss in more detail or if you would
like our assistance preparing the Resolution Nunc Pro Tunc or the Amending Ordinance.
Sincerely,
Jason L. Comisky

Jason,
I’m assuming we can’t do anything about this now, even though it’s a minor change from a text standpoint. I also
assume that as long as we get this corrected in a subsequent version before the end of this calendar year, we’ll be
ok. Please advise on any options we may have at this point to get corrected.

There is an error on the legal description for the 15 Street Subarea description. The fourth line should read ‘the

northeast corner of the North 35 feet of Lot 255 in East Dubuque Addition #2; Thence’. I don’t remember seeing
this before so I could not catch it before it was approved.

SUBJECT: Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater
Downtown Urban Renewal District
DATE: February 28, 2017
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to forward for City Council review and approval the
Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal
District.
The proposed amendment of this District would authorize the inclusion of an adjacent
area which meets the definition of a blighted area in Section 403.17 of Iowa Code.
BACKGROUND
The Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District was originally established in 1967.
It has been amended and restated on several occasions over the years to expand the
boundaries to assist with redevelopment efforts of multiple key landmark buildings and
areas in the city's urban core.
DISCUSSION
The former Blum properties along East 15th Street have historically been used as a
scrapyard location. These properties have been identified for environmental
assessment and cleanup, with the intention of redeveloping the properties into public
amenity space, with possible green space, trailhead parking, and public restrooms. The
intention is to provide a gathering space in conjunction with the Bee Branch project and
adjacent trail. The properties may also have additional uses such as a storage and
maintenance facility or other use, to be determined by staff and City Council.
Additionally, the County Board of Supervisors has requested the inclusion of a facility
renovation/expansion project to house their administrative offices. This project would
be included in order to provide better security for County officials and to keep the
services conveniently located for all residents of the City and County of Dubuque.
On February 6, 2017, the City Council approved a Resolution of Necessity finding that
these areas met the definition of a blighted area or economic development area under
state law, and were appropriate for urban renewal activities. Staff has prepared an
Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown area that
includes the new areas, per the directive of the City Council.
The Plan was reviewed by the Long Range Planning Advisory Commission (LRPAC) on
February 15, 2017. The LRPAC has forwarded its recommendation to the City Council
affirming that the Plan is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan for
development.
A consultation process was conducted with the affected taxing entities as required by
Chapter 403.5 of the Iowa Code. Prior to the meeting, the taxing entities were mailed
copies of the Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan and the Notice of Public
Hearing. The required consultation to discuss, question, or object to the findings in
these documents was held on February 15, 2017. There were no representatives from
the taxing entities in attendance.
RECOMMENDATION/ ACTION STEP
I recommend that following the public hearing, the attached resolution adopting the
Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan to include the above-described areas and
support reinvestment efforts in the District.

A. INTRODUCTION
This AMENDED AND RESTATED URBAN RENEWAL PLAN (the "Plan") has been
prepared to add land, and update the objectives and public purpose activities intended
to stimulate, through public actions, financing and commitments, private investment
within the combined and expanded area known as the Greater Downtown Urban
Renewal District (the "District"). In order to achieve this objective, the City of Dubuque
(the "City") 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, and
Chapter 15A of the Iowa Code.
This Plan shall serve as a new urban renewal plan for the District described herein. The
Plan shall be viewed as a single plan for purposes of fulfilling the objectives of this Plan.
The separate subareas of this Plan (the "Subarea(s)") will be maintained and observed
for those purposes which are aided by or in need of the division, but the combined area
comprising the District shall be treated together for planning and redevelopment
purposes.
The division of taxation and the separation of incremental taxes authorized by Iowa
Code Section 403.19 have been implemented in the existing Subareas of the District.
Under the terms of this Plan, the tax increment mechanism described in Iowa Code
Section 403.19 shall be expanded to include the new Subarea being added to the
District by this Plan and shall continue to apply to all of the territory within the District as
currently provided. Incremental taxes shall be determined separately with respect to
each Subarea of 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 District
and Plan, as amended.
B. JUSTIFICATION FOR THE DESIGNATION

commercial and industrial enterprises and public improvements related to housing and
residential development to enhance and encourage economic development activities
within the District in the East 7th Street, Industrial Harbor, South Main, Warehouse,
Kerper, North Kerper, Quebecor, and University Avenue Subareas.

forth below.
1. Land Acquisition: The City may acquire property for private development or
redevelopment by contractual agreement or by right of eminent domain. The City
reserves the right to acquire, by negotiation or eminent domain, property rights required
16
for the construction or reconstruction of streets and public utilities, or any other public
facility or improvement.
2. Land Disposition: Publicly held land will be sold or leased 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 and redevelopers 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 and redevelopers 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.
H. RELOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Relocation assistance in accordance with applicable provisions of Chapter 316 of the
Iowa Code, Highway Relocation Assistance Law, will be provided in the event that an
existing business or residence is displaced by publicly supported development or

I. FINANCING ACTIVITIES
To meet the OBJECTIVES of this Plan and to encourage the development and
redevelopment of the District and private investment therein, the City of Dubuque is
prepared to provide financial assistance to qualified industries, businesses and housing
developers 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 has determined that the making of loans or
grants of public funds to qualified industries, businesses and housing developers 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 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
entities 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 shall consider one or
more of the factors set forth in Section 15A.1 of the Iowa Code on a case-by-case basis.
17
2. Tax Increment Financing: The City is prepared to utilize tax increment financing,
authorized under Iowa Code Section 403.19 and current City ordinance, as a means of
financing eligible costs incurred to implement the Public Purpose Activities identified in
Section E of this Plan. Bonds 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 public improvements 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 Tong -term payback in overall increased tax base
for the City, County, Northeast Iowa Community College, and Dubuque Community
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 any of the eligible costs incurred by
the City in connection with any of the Public Purpose Activities described in Section E of
this Plan, including but not limited to the following:
a. Planning and administration of the Plan consistent with the provisions of Section
403.6 and Section 403.12 including, but not limited to, staffing and personnel related
expenses such as salary incurred by the economic development, engineering, water,
and planning departments and other City personnel related to and supporting economic
development and urban renewal projects within the District, in an amount not to exceed
$50,000 annually;
b. Construction of any of the public improvements, amenities and facilities
described in Section E of this Plan or otherwise contemplated by the Plan within the
District, including pre -development planning, environmental assessment and
remediation, feasibility analysis and engineering costs;
c. Acquisition, installation, maintenance and replacement of public improvements
throughout the District including but not limited to street lights, benches, landscaping,
appropriate signage and rest rooms;
18
d. Acquisition of land and/or buildings and preparation of same for sale 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 qualifying for-profit and not-for-profit
organizations, developers and businesses;
f. Loans or grants to qualified entities under Chapter 15A of the Iowa Code,
including 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
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 E 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, and approved by the City Council.
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, will not exceed
$130,000,000.
The City of Dubuque's current indebtedness subject to the statutory debt limit is
$146,234,391 (a list of the outstanding obligations is found as Attachment C) and the
applicable constitutional debt limit is $207,174,109 for the Fiscal Year ending June 30,
2017, which is the fiscal year immediately following the update of this Plan.
J. 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.
K. DURATION OF APPROVED URBAN RENEWAL PLAN
This Plan shall continue in effect until terminated by action of the City Council, but in no
event before the City of Dubuque has received full reimbursement from all incremental
19
taxes for its advances and principal and interest payable on all Tax Increment Financing
or general obligations issued to carry out the OBJECTIVES of the Plan. However, the
use of tax increment financing revenues by the City for the public purpose activities
carried out under this Plan shall be limited as deemedappropriate by the City Council
and consistent with all applicable provisions of law. The East 7th Street, Kerper, North
Kerper, and Quebecor Subareas are currently subject to a statutory limitation on the
collection of tax increment revenue from those Subareas.
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.
L. 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, lack of authorization or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of
this Plan and this Plan shall be construed and implemented as if such provision had
never been contained herein.
M. 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, Urban Renewal Law. Any change effecting any property or contractual right can

RE: Proposed Amended & Restated Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown Urban
Renewal District
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
Introduction
The Long Range Planning Advisory Commission has reviewed the proposed Amendment of
Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District to add the 15th Street Subarea.
Background
Economic Development Project Coordinator Jill Connors reviewed the proposed Amendment of
Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District, noting it would expand the District to include the
15th Street Subarea. This subarea is comprised of the former Blum salvage yard along Elm
Street, which would undergo environmental cleanup for redevelopment into a public space with
amenities readily access to the adjoining Washington Neighborhood. The proposed amendment
also includes a facility renovation/expansion project to house Dubuque County administrative
offices, which would keep downtown jobs in place and facilitate redevelopment.
Discussion
Staff noted the amendment is in general conformance with the 2012 Dubuque Comprehensive
Plan, with greatest relevance to the Economic Development Element and the Land Use & Urban
Design Element. Staff also noted that the role of the Commission is to make a recommendation
to the City Council as to the plan's consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioners
discussed the proposal and felt it was appropriate.
Recommendation
By a vote of 6 to 0, the Long Range Planning Advisory Commission recommends the
Amendment of Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District is consistent with the 2012 Dubuque
Comprehensive Plan.
Respectfully submitted,
Chad Darter, Chairperson
Long Range Planning Advisory Commission
