SUBJECT: Approving a First Amendment to Development Agreement between the
City of Dubuque and 3000 Jackson, LC to Redevelop Property at

Revenue Obligations
DATE: June 12, 2019
Economic Development Director Jill Connors is recommending approval of the First
Amendment to Development Agreement between the City and 3000 Jackson, LC for
$30 million in improvements at 3000-3040 Jackson Street, including the issuance of tax
increment revenue obligations.
Upon the recommendation of the Historic Preservation Commission, the City Council
established a Conservation District for the H&W property at 30th and Jackson Streets
on November 21 , 2005, in order to prevent the demolition of the historic buildings on the
property. A Conservation District is an area of the city composed of structures that have
historical or architectural value. In a Conservation District, the City Building Official
cannot issue demolition permits without the approval of the City Council.
Several buildings on this former Brewing & Malting Company campus in the 3000 Block
of Jackson Street have continued to fall into disrepair and have sat mostly vacant for a
number of years.
In 2016, discussions began between Steve Emerson of 3000 Jackson, LC and City
Economic Development staff. A Letter of Intent (LOI) was signed November 30, 2016
which contemplated $35,000 in Downtown Rehabilitation Grants, up to $500,000 in
assistance for 50% of deconstruction costs, and 10 years of Tax Increment Financing
Rebates from the City.
In mid-2017, the Mr. Emerson purchased the properties at 3000 and 3040 Jackson
Street with the intention to create a mixed-use development. The Developer has
worked with multiple City departments to ensure the plans are in compliance with all
zoning and other regulations. The Developer also began needed deconstruction work
on a part of the building that had collapsed due to the buildings' poor condition. The
City supported this work with a $500,000 short term loan which is backed by a letter of
credit and will be repaid through tax increment financing rebates.
On June 4, 2018, the City Council approved a development agreement with the
Developer to create at least 110 apartments between the two buildings by August 2020.
The development would also include retail/commercial space that would serve both the
buildings' tenants and the neighborhood.
Due to the complex nature of the project, the Developer is working to fill a financial gap
in project funding in excess of$3 million. This has caused a delay in project
commencement. Additional sources of funds being investigated include Low Income
Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), New Markets Tax Credits, and Opportunity Zone
investment. The Developer has also requested increasing the number of tax increment
financing rebates to the project from 10 years to 15 years, which has an estimated
additional $858,000 value to the project and is consistent with some of the Historic
Millwork District projects.
The original development agreement restricted the use of Low Income Housing Tax
Credits.
The First Amendment to the Development Agreement removes the restriction and
allows the use of Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). This amendment allows
the use of Low Income Housing Tax Credits, which if used, would cover some of the
current deficit.
In addition, in response to comments from the City Council, the development team has
revisited the interior design of the building. The Developer is now proposing reducing
the number of efficiency units and adding more 2-bedroom units. Use of the LIHTC
program would also require larger unit footprints. The Developer anticipates still having
a minimum of 75 residential units on the property.
The proposed First Amendment would decrease the amount of required parking in
function with the reduced number of residential units, which would have the benefit of
allowing for more landscaping.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

INTRODUCTION
This memorandum presents for City Council consideration and action the attached
resolution approving the First Amendment to Development Agreement between the City
and 3000 Jackson, LC for improvements at 3000-3040 Jackson Street, including the
issuance of tax increment revenue obligations.
BACKGROUND
Upon the recommendation of the Historic Preservation Commission, the City Council
established a Conservation District for the H&W property at 30th and Jackson Streets
on November 21 , 2005 by Ordinance 63-05 in order to prevent the demolition of the
historic buildings on the property. A Conservation District is an area of the city
composed of structures that have historical or architectural value. In a Conservation
District, the City Building Official cannot issue demolition permits without the approval of
the City Council.
Several buildings on this former Brewing & Malting Company campus in the 3000 Block
of Jackson Street have continued to fall into disrepair and have sat mostly vacant for a
number of years.
In 2016, discussions began between Steve Emerson of 3000 Jackson, LC and City
Economic Development staff. A Letter of Intent (LOI) was signed November 30, 2016
which contemplated $35,000 in Downtown Rehabilitation Grants, up to $500,000 in
assistance for 50°k of deconstruction costs, and 10 years of Tax Increment Financing
Rebates from the City. The developer returned an executed copy of the LOI December
9, 2016, indicating the desire to proceed with the negotiation of a Development
Agreement.
In mid-2017, the Mr. Emerson (Developer) purchased the properties at 3000 and 3040
Jackson Street with the intention to create a mixed-use development. The Developer
has worked with multiple City departments to ensure the plans are in compliance with all
zoning and other regulations. The Developer also began needed deconstruction work
on a part of the building that had collapsed due to the buildings' poor condition. The
City supported this work with a $500,000 short term loan which is backed by a letter of
credit and will be repaid through tax increment financing rebates.
DISCUSSION
On June 4, 2018, the City Council signed Resolution 175-18 approving a development
agreement with the Developer to create at least 110 apartments between the two
buildings by August 2020. The development would also include retail/commercial space
that would serve both the buildings' tenants and the neighborhood.
Due to the complex nature of the project, the Developer is working to fill a financial gap
in project funding in excess of$3 million. This has caused a delay in project
commencement. Additional sources of funds being investigated include Low Income
Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), New Markets Tax Credits, and Opportunity Zone
investment. The Developer has also requested, and I recommend, increasing the
number of tax increment financing rebates to the project from 10 years to 15 years,
which has an estimated additional $858,000 value to the project and is consistent with
some of the Historic Millwork District projects
The original Development Agreement prohibited the use of the Low Income Housing
Tax Credit. The First Amendment to the Development Agreement does not prohibit the
use of Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), which will allow for the use of the
City's Housing Creation Grant to fill part of the identified funding gap. While the original
project discussions indicated the 4°k LIHTC program might be used, that may change to
a 9°k LIHTC program.
In addition, in response to comments from the City Council, the development team has
revisited the interior design of the building. The Developer is now proposing reducing
the number of efficiency units and adding more 2-bedroom units. Use of the LIHTC
program would also require larger unit footprints. The Developer anticipates still having
a minimum of 75 residential units on the property.
The proposed First Amendment would decrease the amount of required parking in
function with the reduced number of residential units, which would have the benefit of
allowing for more landscaping.
Following the Council's approval to set hearing on this matter, an additional section has
been added to the First Amendment. Section 2.6 modifies the conditions concerning
the irrevocable direct pay letter of credit to account for the extension of the project
completion dates.
RECOMMENDATION/ ACTION STEP
Based on the City's goal to assist in redeveloping the downtown and North End areas, I
recommend the City Council approve the First Amendment to Development Agreement
for the $30 million capital investment at 3000-3040 Jackson Street, including the
issuance of tax increment revenue obligations by adopting the attached Resolution.

intended by the parties, and shall be construed at all times, so as to ensure
that City's obligation to pay future installments on the Grants shall not
constitute a legal indebtedness of City within the meaning of any applicable
constitutional or statutory debt limitation prior to the adoption of a budget
which appropriates funds for the payment of that installment or amount. In
the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to create, or result in the creation of, such a
legal indebtedness of City, the enforcement of the said provision shall be
suspended, and this Agreement shall at all times be construed and applied
in such a manner as will preserve the foregoing intent of the parties, and no
event of default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result thereof. If

circumstance is so suspended, the suspension shall not affect other
