2021.1
DATE: March 8, 2021
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum presents for City Council consideration a Resolution of Necessity that
finds that: 1) an Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for the Dubuque Industrial
Center Economic Development District ("District") is both necessary and appropriate; and
2) sets a public hearing on the proposed amendment for April 19, 2021.
The proposed Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan ("Urban Renewal Plan") for
the District would authorize the removal a parcel from Subarea B of the District that has
remained undeveloped, in order to allow for future development on the parcel.
BACKGROUND
The original Dubuque Industrial Center Economic Development District was created on
May 2, 1988. The District is an urban renewal area which allows the City of Dubuque to
capture tax increment revenue from improvements made in the District in order to
promote economic development activities. The original area included the Dubuque
Industrial Center (known as Subarea A) and has been expanded several times over the
years to include Dubuque Industrial Center West, the County Farm, the Bergfeld Farm,
the North Siegert Farm, the Rail Site, the South Siegert Farm, the Graf Farm, McFadden
Farms, small adjacent parcels, and several County-owned parcels (known as Subareas
B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, and M).
Before a municipality can exercise the authority conferred by lowa Code Chapter 403
Urban Renewal, a Resolution of Necessity must be adopted finding that the area being
considered for urban renewal district designation is either a slum, blighted or economic
development area and that the rehabilitation, conservation, redevelopment, development,
or a combination thereof, of the area is necessary in the interest of the public health,
safety or welfare of the residents of the city.
DISCUSSION
Staff recommends amending and restating the current Urban Renewal Plan to authorize
the removal of a parcel from Subarea B.
The attached resolution directs staff to prepare a Version 2021.1 Amended and Restated
Urban Renewal Plan for the Dubuque Industrial Center Economic Development District,
removing that parcel of Subarea B, creating the possibility of establishing a new Subarea
in a subsequent version of the Plan. 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 2021.1 Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan
will be scheduled for April 19, 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 for the 2021.1 Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for Dubuque
Industrial Center Economic Development District to remove a parcel from Subarea B to
allow for future development of the parcel.
