SUBJECT: Resolution for the proposed North Grandview Estates Housing Urban
Renewal Area
DATE: December 11, 2020
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum presents for City Council consideration a Resolution of Necessity that:
1) finds that an Urban Renewal Plan for the North Grandview Estates Housing Urban
Renewal Area is both necessary and appropriate; and 2) sets a public hearing on the
proposed plan for February 1, 2021.
BACKGROUND
The North Grandview Estates 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 Area in order to promote housing and residential development
activities. The Area will be created primarily for the development of a residential district
(North Grandview Estates Subdivision) and infrastructure improvements including
installation of fiber conduit and vaults, a retaining wall, a curb underdrain, and portions of
trail development from the subdivision to the Bee Branch 32nd Street Detention Basin. 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.
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 lowa
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,
including the addition of a water tower.
With the 10-year life of the Area, it is projected to generate approximately $680,000 in
increment with $260,000 going to affordable housing throughout the community and
$420,000 going to improvements in the Area. See attached financial summary. However,
the Plan allows for a much greater contribution toward infrastructure or affordable housing
in the event the Area would produce more increment than currently anticipated.
The attached Resolution directs staff to prepare an Urban Renewal Plan for the North
Grandview Estates 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 February 1,
2021. 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 North Grandview Estates 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.

affected taxing entities.
Section 6. That the City Clerk is further directed to send by ordinary mail a copy of
the proposed Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan, the notice of public hearing, a
notice of consultation, and, to the extent the Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan
includes the use of tax increment revenues for a public building, an analysis of alternative
development and funding options for such public buildings, to the Dubuque Community
School District Board of Education and Dubuque County Board of Supervisors, as the
affected taxing entities.
Passed, approved and adopted this 21 st day of December, 2020.
