Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Alexis Steger, Housing and Community Development Department Director SUBJECT: December 20-31, 2019 Urban Revitalization Program Applications DATE: February 12, 2020 INTRODUCTION This memorandum presents for City Council consideration the attached resolution related to the second 2019 calendar year applications for residential property tax abatement covering the period from December 20t" through December 31St. The resolution approves applications filed in accordance with the Urban Revitalization ordinance and directs that the approved applications be forwarded to the City Assessor. BACKGROUND In 1980, the City Council established, under the guidelines set forth in Chapter 404 of the Code of lowa, Dubuque's first two Urban Revitalization Areas - Jackson Park Urban Revitalization Area and West 11t" Street Urban Revitalization Area. In 1981, the City designated the Washington Street Urban Revitalization Area and amended the district in 2007 and 2008. In 1995, the Upper Main Urban Revitalization Area was designated and in 2002 the Langworthy, Old Main and Cathedral Urban Revitalization areas were designated. In January 2015, the Kunkel and Associates Urban Revitalization Plan was adopted providing a partial 10-year partial abatement for improvements. The Lange Estate and Paragon Square Urban Revitalization Plans were adopted in April 2016. In December 2019, the City Council consolidated Jackson Park, West 11th, Washington Street, Upper Main, Old Main, Langworthy and Cathedral into a larger powntown Urban Revitalization Area. The purpose of the Urban Revitalization legislation is to attract development to specific areas, which might otherwise continue to deteriorate, thereby stabilizing and eventually increasing the tax base within those areas. The abatements are intended to stimulate private investment by reducing the tax increases that would normally result from making improvements to residential property. PROCESS Applications for tax exemption are accepted until February 1 of each year. The Housing and Community Development Department reviews applications to ensure properties are located in a designated area. Staff from the Housing & Community Development Department or Building Services Department inspect structures to verify the work is completed in accordance with applicable codes. If the City Council finds the applications to be in compliance with the appropriate urban revitalization plan, they are forwarded to the City Assessor who inspects the properties, determines the assessable value of the new improvements and transmits this information to the County Auditor. The applications will be forwarded to the City Assessor prior to March 1 St to approve the assessment. One application for Urban Revitalization that was received prior to February 1, 2020 qualified for the tax abatement. DISCUSSION 2320 Jackson Street has met the threshold requirements to qualify for tax abatement. City Council will need to certify this qualification as allowed per lowa Code Chapter 404, and will be forwarded to the City Assessor before March 1 St, 2020. RECOMMENDATION I respectfully request the City Council approve the attached resolution approving the submission to the City Assessor the application for urban revitalization tax abatement. 2 Prepared by Alexis Steger, Housing & Community Devel., 350 W. 6th St., Suite 312, Telephone: 563-690-6072 Return to: Kevin Firnstahl, City Clerk Address: City Hall- 50 W. 13th St Telephone: (563) 589-4100 RESOLUTION NO. 53-20 APPROVING PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED BY PROPERTY OWNERS IN RECOGNIZED URBAN REVITALIZATION AREAS AND AUTHORIZING THE TRANSMITTAL OF THE APPROVED APPLICATIONS TO THE CITY TAX ASSESSOR Whereas, Chapter 404 of the Code of Iowa, the Urban Revitalization Act, permits cities to abate property taxes for improvements made to properties in designated revitalization areas; and Whereas, the Urban Revitalization Act requires property owners to submit a written application for abatement by February 1 of the assessment year for which the abatement is first claimed, and further requires the City Council to approve all applications that meet the requirements of the adopted Urban Revitalization Plan.
