SUBJECT: Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District -
a merger of the existing Downtown Dubuque and Ice Harbor Urban
Renewal Districts
The proposed Urban Renewal Plan merges two existing urban renewal districts - the
Downtown Dubuque Urban Renewal District and the Ice Harbor Urban Renewal District.
The two existing districts are already adjoining and no new property is being added to
the combined district. The recent Downtown Master Plan process included the
riverfront area in its planning for the 'greater' downtown. The City has urged the merger
of downtown and riverfront as a unified whole that functions through interdependent
physical, social and economic relationships. A new Greater Downtown Urban Renewal
District will create a greater whole and allow more flexibility in the use of tax increment
financing (TIF).
Combining the two existing tax assessment bases in the Downtown and Ice Harbor
Urban Renewal Districts will allow TIF resources to be used throughout the combined
area. While project-based TIF assistance is typical (Le., the new tax increment
generated by a development project is used to support that specific project), TIF-funded
public projects throughout the district could benefit from combining the tax increment
generated from the greater district. This is especially the case where excess increment
in the existing Downtown District could assist projects (both public and private)
occurring in the existing Ice Harbor District where there is yet to be substantial tax
increment generated. Not only is some of the new development in the Ice Harbor
District tax-exempt (museum and conference center), public purchase of property in the
Ice Harbor District has taken certain properties off the tax rolls temporarily (logging and
grain storage properties). By combining the two existing urban renewal districts into
one new district, the City creates and retains a more flexible source of financing for both
public and private economic development and housing projects. The City has proven
over the years the value of TIF as an economic development tool and a tool in clearing
slum and blight. The numbers for downtown Dubuque are as follows:

On March 1, 2004, the City Council approved a Resolution of Necessity finding that the
proposed merger of the two existing urban renewal districts was necessary and
appropriate for urban renewal activities. Staff has prepared an urban renewal plan for
the area as per the directive of the City Council. The Plan was reviewed by the Long
Range Planning Advisory Commission on March 17,2004. The Commission has
forwarded its recommendation to the City Council affirming that the Plan is consistent
with the City's Comprehensive Plan for development.
Economic Development Director Bill Baum recommends City Council approval of the
Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District that merges the
existing Downtown Dubuque and Ice Harbor Urban Renewal Districts.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

SUBJECT: Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal
District - a merger of the existing Downtown Dubuque and Ice
Harbor Urban Renewal Districts
Introduction
The purpose of this memorandum is to forward for City Council review and approval the
Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District that merges the
existing Downtown Dubuque and Ice Harbor Urban Renewal Districts. The Plan and
Resolution adopting the Plan are attached.
Background
On March 1, 2004, the City Council approved a Resolution of Necessity finding that the
proposed merger of the two existing urban renewal districts was necessary and
appropriate for urban renewal activities. Staff has prepared an urban renewal plan for
the area as per the directive of the City Council. The Plan was reviewed by the Long
Range Planning Advisory Commission on March 17, 2004. The Commission 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 has been concluded with the affected taxing entities as required
by State Law. The required consultation with affected taxing bodies was held on April
1, 2004. At the meeting, an objection from the County to the Plan's unlimited duration
was noted; however, no written objections or recommended changes to the proposed
Plan were received from the taxing bodies during the allowed comment period.
Bud Isenhart also attended this meeting and questioned staff on the duration and the
proposed maximum indebtedness of $75 million in the district.
Discussion
The proposed Urban Renewal Plan merges two existing urban renewal districts - the
Downtown Dubuque Urban Renewal District and the Ice Harbor Urban Renewal District.
The two existing districts are already adjoining and no new property is being added to
the combined district. The recent Downtown Master Plan process included the
riverfront area in its planning for the 'greater' downtown. The City has urged the merger
of downtown and riverfront as a unified whole that functions through interdependent
physical, social and economic relationships. A new Greater Downtown Urban Renewal
District will create a greater whole and allow more flexibility in the use of tax increment
financing (TIF).
Combining the two existing tax assessment bases in the Downtown and Ice Harbor
Urban Renewal Districts will allow TIF resources to be used throughout the combined
area, While project-based TIF assistance is typical (Le., the new tax increment
generated by a development project is used to support that specific project), TIF-funded
public projects throughout the district could benefit from combining the tax increment
generated from the greater district. This is especially the case where excess increment
in the existing Downtown District could assist projects (both public and private)
occurring in the existing Ice Harbor District where there is yet to be substantial tax
increment generated, Not only is some of the new development in the Ice Harbor
District tax-exempt (museum and conference center), public purchase of property in the
Ice Harbor District has taken certain properties off the tax rolls temporarily (logging and
grain storage properties). By combining the two existing urban renewal districts into
one new district, the City creates and retains a more flexible source of financing for both
public and private economic development and housing projects,
There are few substantive changes in the proposed Plan. The Objectives, Public
Purpose Activities and Development and Redevelopment Requirements from the two
original plans have been combined in the proposed Plan. No additional Development
and Redevelopment Requirements are being proposed and no property is identified for
acquisition. The word "retail" has been added by using the term "commercial/retail" in
the proposed Plan to clarify allowable land uses.
The Proposed Amount of Indebtedness has combined the amounts from the two
original districts (Downtown -- $20 million and Ice Harbor -- $35 million) and increased
that amount by $20 million. Recent public Amercia's River projects in the Ice Harbor
District accounted for approximately $20 million in expenditures, The proposed $75
million cap should provide sufficient resources for redevelopment activities in the larger,
combined district for the foreseeable future and provide a wider property base to
support new projects.
The Downtown Dubuque Urban Renewal District is designated as a "slum and blight"
district that does not, under state law, require a sunset date. When the Upper Main
Subarea was added to the plan in 2002, a 20-year duration was instituted for that
subarea while leaving the remainder of the district to continue for an unlimited duration.
The Ice Harbor Urban Renewal District is also designated as a "slum and blight" district,
but that plan was voluntarily limited to a 30-year duration when last amended in 2002.
The Plan as proposed establishes an unlimited duration for the combined district and
states that the "Plan shall continue in effect until terminated by action of the City
Council," This retains the greatest flexibility and security for the City in terms of our
ability to sell bonds in the future.
Summary of Urban Renewal Projects in the Two Existing Districts
According to the latest Annual Urban Renewal Project Report filed with the County
Auditor, the City has filed for reimbursement for qualified expenses of $17,869,713.89
in the Downtown Dubuque District and $20,810,677.55 in the Ice Harbor District. (See
attached project breakdown.) The first urban renewal project in the Downtown
Dubuque Urban Renewal District was funded in 1983, but it was not until the 1990's
that the City began to utilize TIF for other public and private projects. If a 20-year
sunset had been in place, the plan would have expired in 2003. The ability to issue TIF
bonds would also have been limited by the remaining number of years available in the
district at any given time unless the urban renewal plan for the district had been
amended and the duration extended.
In 1994, the City established the Downtown Rehabilitation Loan Program that also
included a Façade Grant component. TIF monies have been added to that program
over the past 10 years for a total of $2,195,000 with 12 loan projects completed (and 3
pending additional funding) and 13 grants provided to restore buildings façades in the
Old Main Subarea. The projects included:
Downtown Rehabilitation Loan Program
Bakey Kitchens/Relm House
Grand Opera House (2)
Atlast Fluid Power
Cinema X Building
Security Building

Jorga's Restaurant
Iowa Inn

Also attached is a chart entitled "Downtown Dubuque Total Improvements From 1985-
2003" compiled by Dubuque Main Street, Ltd. It clearly identifies an investment pattern
that has resulted in new job creation and increased taxable value added to the
downtown and Port of Dubuque, a portion of which benefited from public financial
incentives like TIF.
Recommendation
I recommend that the attached Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown Urban
Renewal District be adopted to support reinvestment efforts in the combined downtown
and riverfront area. The merged Plan will further key values found in the City's
Comprehensive Plan and Downtown Master Plan supporting development and
redevelopment activities.
Action Step
The Action Step for the City Council is to adopt the attached Resolution,

A. INTRODUCTION
This URBAN RENEWAL PLAN ("the Plan") has been prepared to provide for the
merger of two existing Urban Renewal Districts and to stimulate, through public
actions, financing and commitments, private investment within the combined
area, to be known as the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District ("the
District"). In order to achieve this objective, the City of Dubuque 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 is a merger of the Downtown Dubuque Urban Renewal District Urban
Renewal Plan, originally established by Resolution 123-67 by the City Council of
the City of Dubuque, Iowa on May 18, 1967 and subsequently amended by
Resolution 79-71 on March 15, 1971, by Resolution 73-74 on March 11, 1974, by
Resolution 107-82 on May 3,1982, by Resolution 191-84 on June 25,1984, by
Resolution 371-93 on December 6,1993, by Resolution 145-94 on May 2, 1994,
by Resolution 479-97 on November 17, 1997, by Resolution 476-98 on October
19,1998 and by Resolution 187-02 on April 1, 2002 and the Ice Harbor Urban
Renewal District Urban Renewal Plan, originally established by Resolution 403-
89 of the City Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa on December 18, 1989 and
subsequently amended and restated by Resolution 241-00 on June 5, 2000 and
by Resolution 114-02 on March 4,2002 ("the Merged Districts").
This Plan shall serve as a new urban renewal plan for the Merged Districts
described herein. The Plan shall be viewed as a single plan for purposes of
fulfilling the objectives of the Plan,
B. JUSTIFICATION FOR THE DESIGNATION
The City Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa has determined that the following
blighting conditions, as defined by Chapter 403 of the Iowa Code, Urban Renewal
Law, exist within the District:
Undeveloped and underdeveloped land;
" A preponderance of deteriorated, dilapidated and obsolete public and
private improvements;
" A faulty lot layout in relation to the size, adequacy and usefulness of the
lots;
e Fragmented property ownership patterns;
e A lack of public utilities; and
. An inadequate street layout.
1
The Council has declared by Resolution of Necessity No. 86-04 on March 1,
2004 that these factors have substantially impaired and arrested the sound
growth of the City of Dubuque and of the area comprising the Merged Districts.
C. OBJECTIVES OF THE PLAN

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 for the construction or reconstruction of streets and public utilities,
or any other public facility or improvement. No properties are identified for
acquisition in this Plan.
2. Land DisDosition: Publicly held land will be sold 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
7
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 redevelopment activities.
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. ChaDter 15A Loan or Grant: The City of Dubuque 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 of Dubuque 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. 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 of Dubuque
shall consider one or more of the factors set forth in Section 15A.1 of the Iowa
Code on a case-by-case basis.
2. Tax Increment Financinq: The City of Dubuque is prepared to utilize tax
increment financing 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).
8
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 long-term payback in overall increased tax
base for the City, County and 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, among other things, the
following costs to the extent they are incurred by the City:
a.
Planning and administration of the Plan;
b. Construction of any of the public improvements, amenities and
facilities 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;
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.
9
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.
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 $75,000,000. Current indebtedness is approximately $39,000,000.
At the time of adoption of this Plan, the City of Dubuque's current general
obligation debt is $25,670,000 (a list of obligations is found as Attachment E)
and the applicable constitutional debt limit is $121,793,282.
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 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.
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
10
reason to be invalid, illegal, unauthorized or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality, unauthorization or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provision of this Plan and this Urban Renewal 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 be effectuated only in accordance with applicable state and
local law.

TO:
The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution of Necessity to Create a Greater Downtown Urban Renewal
District
The City has attempted to 'link' the downtown with the riverfront through planning and
design initiatives. The 'greater' downtown is evidenced by the inclusion of the Port of
Dubuque in the new Downtown Dubuque Master Plan area. The City has purposefully
urged the merger of downtown and riverfront as a unified whole that functions through
interdependent physical, social and economic relationships. A new Greater Downtown
Urban Renewal District will create a greater whole.
The City Council has previously created and amended urban renewal plans for the
Downtown Dubuque Urban Renewal District; originally in 1967 and most recently in
2002, and the Ice Harbor Urban Renewal District, originally in 1989 and most recently in
2002. Both existing districts are designated as 'blighted' areas. The Resolution of
Necessity finds that the combined district is also a blighted area and that the
rehabilitation and redevelopment of the combined district is necessary and appropriate
to further the public interest. By combining the two districts, both public and private
development efforts will benefit from greater flexibility in the use of tax increment
financing in the larger district.
Economic Development Director Bill Baum recommends the City Council adopt a
Resolution of Necessity that begins the process of creating a new Greater Downtown
Urban Renewal Plan, combining the existing Downtown Dubuque and Ice Harbor Urban
Renewal Districts, and setting a public hearing for April 19, 2004 to consider the new
plan.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

William Baum, Economic Development Director ~
Resolution of Necessity to Create a Greater Downtown Urban
Renewal District
TO:
SUBJECT:
Introduction
This memorandum presents for City Council consideration a Resolution of Necessity
that begins the process of creating an Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown
Urban Renewal District which combine two existing urban renewal districts: the
Downtown Dubuque and the Ice Harbor Urban Renewal Districts. The attached
Resolution sets a public hearing to consider the new plan for April 19, 20Ó4.
Background
The City Council has previously created and amended urban renewal plans for the
Downtown Dubuque Urban Renewal District, originally in 1967 and most recently in
2002, and the Ice Harbor Urban Renewal District, originally in 1989 and most recently in
2002. Both existing districts are designated as 'blighted' areas. The Resolution of
Necessity finds that the combined district is also a blighted area and that the
rehabilitation and redevelopment of the combined district is necessary and appropriate
to further the public interest. By combining the two districts, both public and private
development efforts will benefit from greater flexibility in the use of tax increment
financing in the larger district.
Discussion
The City has attempted to 'link' the downtown with the riverfront through planning and
design initiatives. The 'greater' downtown is evidenced by the inclusion of the Port of
Dubuque in the new Downtown Dubuque Master Plan area. The City has purposefully
urged the merger of downtown and riverfront as a unified whole that functions through
interdependent physical, social and economic relationships. A new Greater Downtown
Urban Renewal District will create a greater whole.
The attached Resolution directs staff to prepare a Greater Downtown Urban Renewal
Plan and to forward the proposed plan to the Long Range Planning Advisory
Commission for their review and comment. This is required by Chapter 403 of the Iowa
Code along with a consultation process that involves all affected taxing entities, Those
taxing entities, the County, School Board and community college, have an opportunity
to comment on the proposed plan prior to the required public hearing, but they cannot
block adoption of the plan.
City Council public hearing on the proposed Greater Downtown Urban Renewal Plan
will be scheduled for April 19, 2004. The Long Range Planning Advisory Commission
will review the amendment at their March meeting, and staff will conduct the
consultation with the taxing entities during that same time period.
Recommendation
I recommend the City Council adopt the attached Resolution of Necessity that begins
the- process of creating a new Greater Downtown Urban Renewal Plan combining the
existing Downtown Dubuque and Ice Harbor Urban Renewal Districts. Benefits will
accrue to both the City and the private sector with this action.
Action Step ,
The action step for the City Council is to adopt the Resolution of Necessity attached to
this memorandum.

, A RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY FINDING THAT THE AREA INCLUDED IN
THE GREATER DOWNTOWN URBAN RENEWAL DISTRICT IS A BLIGHTED
AREA AND THAT THE REHABILITATION AND REDEVELOPMENT OF THE
DISTRICT IS NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE IN THE INTEREST OF THE

Whereas, the City Council of the City of Dubuque adopted Amended and Restated
Urban Renewal Plans for the Downtown Dubuque Urban Renewal District on April 1, 2002,

Resolution 114-02, to stimulate and guide public and private investment within the Districts;
and
Whereas, the City Council of the City of Dubuque has determined that a new
Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District, combining the
existing Downtown Dubuque and Ice Harbor Urban Renewal Districts, will provide
redevelopment opportunities for the greater downtown and riverfront area; and
Whereas, Chapter 403 of the Iowa Code requires that before an urban renewal
plan may be adopted, the City Council must adopt a resolution of necessity and provide
for a process of review and consultation prior to adoption of the urban renewal plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF DUBUQUE, IOWA:
Section 1. That the combination of the existing Downtown Dubuque and Ice
Harbor Urban Renewal Districts under a single, comprehensive Urban Renewal Plan for
the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District is necessary and appropriate to facilitate
the proper growth and development of the community in accordance with sound
planning and local community objectives.
Section 2. That the combined area included in the Greater Downtown Urban
Renewal District is a blighted area within the meaning of Chapter 403 of the Iowa Code
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 municipality.
Section 3. That the City Manager is authorized and directed to prepare an Urban
Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District, which will combine the
exisling Downtown Dubuque and Ice Harbor Urban Renewal Districts, to forward said
Plan to the City's Long Range Planning Advisory Commission for review and comment
and to begin the consultation process required by law with affected taxing entities.
Section 4. That the City Clerk is directed to publish notice of a public hearing on
the adoption of an Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal
District to be held on April 19, 2004 at 6:30 p.m. in the Carnegie-Stout Public Library
Auditorium, 360 W. 11th Street, Dubuque, Iowa 52001 and that said notice shall
generally identify the area covered by the Urban Renewal Plan and the general scope
of the amendment.
Section 5. That the City Clerk is further directed to send by ordinary mail a copy
of said notice of public hearing to the Dubuque Community School District, the County
Board of Supervisors and the Northeast Iowa Community College, as the affected
taxing entities.
Passed, approved and adopted this 1st day of March 2004.
