Heiar, Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Potential Expansion of the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District DATE: March 14, 2011 Dubuque AN- AmedcaCity 1 2007 INTRODUCTION This memorandum presents for City Council consideration a Resolution of Necessity that: 1) finds that an amendment of the Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District is both necessary and appropriate; and 2) sets a public hearing on the proposed amendment for May 2, 2011. The proposed amendment of this District would (i) expand the District to include areas generally known as the Washington Neighborhood, Chaplain Schmitt Island, and the Industrial Harbor, and (ii) merge the East 7 Street Economic Development District and the Kerper Economic Development District into the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District (See Attached Map). BACKGROUND The Downtown Dubuque Urban Renewal District was originally established in 1967. It has been amended and restated on several occasions over the years to expand the boundaries to include the Old Main area, the Iowa Inn property, Dubuque Museum of Art, Historic Federal Building, Locust Street Parking Ramp, the Carnegie -Stout Public Library, the South Main area, the Warehouse District, the South Port area, the Cable Car area, the Bluff Street area, and the South Bluff area. On April 19 2004, the Downtown Dubuque Urban Renewal District was merged with the Ice Harbor Urban Renewal District. By combining the two districts, both public and private development efforts have benefited from greater flexibility in the use of tax increment financing in the larger district. Before a municipality can exercise the authority conferred by Chapter 403 "Urban Renewal" of the Iowa Code, 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. The Iowa Code defines a blighted area as, "an area of a municipality within which the local governing body of the municipality determines that the presence of a substantial number of slum, deteriorated, or deteriorating structures; defective or inadequate street layout; faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness; unsanitary or unsafe conditions; deterioration of site or other improvements; diversity of ownership, tax or special assessment delinquency exceeding the fair value of the land; defective or unusual conditions of title; or the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes; or any combination of these factors; substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of a municipality, retards the provision of housing accommodations, or constitutes an economic or social liability and is a menace to the public health, safety, or welfare in its present condition and use ". An economic development area is defined as, "an area of a municipality designated by the local governing body as appropriate for commercial and industrial enterprises or housing and residential development for low and moderate income families, including single or multifamily housing." Several issues, events or circumstances have spurred research into expanding the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District to improve areas around the core downtown area. The issues are: • The NIU Study on crime and poverty that showed the Washington Neighborhood and the Central Avenue Corridor is in need of assistance to combat the real and perceived crime in the area. • Implementing the key recommendations from the Safe Community Task Force. • The Dubuque Racing Association is investigating an initiative to create a master plan for Chaplain Schmitt Island. • Major leases along the Industrial Harbor are set to expire over the next 10 years and may create the opportunity for new investment. • Redevelopment of the former Dubuque Pack site. • The implementation of the Washington Neighborhood Development Plan. • The age of structures in the area. • The implementation of the Historic Millwork District Master Plan. • Implementation of the Bee Branch Creek Restoration Project. • Population declines in the Washington Neighborhood area. • Area's minimal increases in property values over the last 10 years. • Recent adoption of a historic conservation district for much of this area. • Designation of Prescott School as a persistently lowest- achieving school by the US Dept. of Education. • Announcement by Alliant Energy that in 2015 they will decommission the Dubuque coal -fired power plant. • Creation of the Washington Neighborhood Development Corporation. • In the next few years there will be resources available in the Kerper Boulevard Subarea that could help finance activity throughout the expanded district. DISCUSSION This proposed expansion of the District would include new areas generally known as the Washington Neighborhood, Chaplain Schmitt Island, and the Industrial Harbor, and the merger of the East 7 Street Economic Development District and the Kerper Economic Development District into the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District. The following is a discussion of each area and the reasons it is proposed to be included in the District. Washington Neighborhood In September 2009, the City Council held a community forum. The forum was intended to facilitate community dialog on issues regarding public safety. Over 130 residents attended the event, from all sectors of the community including the Mayor and City Council, City staff, representatives from neighborhood associations, landlords, the business community, educational and religious institutions, non - profit organizations, youth representatives, and the public at- large. Subsequent to this meeting the City Council formed a Safe Community Task Force (SCTF). The SCTF was assigned to: • Gather facts on the scope of crime and safety issues in the community; • Identify efforts currently underway to improve and prevent future problems; • Review and analyze how other communities have addressed crime and safety issues; and, • Recommend goals and objectives for the leadership of Dubuque. The Mayor and City Council appointed 25 citizens to serve on the newly established SCTF. The SCTF was assisted by representatives from key City departments including the City Manager's Office, Human Rights, Police, and Housing, with additional City staff serving as a resource. The SCTF met monthly from October 2009 through July 2010. Recognizing that the work of the SCTF was comprehensive in nature, four sub- committees were also established. The four sub - committees, made up of additional citizens, included: • Neighborhood Engagement/Social Capital • Enforcement • Management of Physical Environment • Research and Facts The role of the subcommittees was to help identify issues and develop opportunities or recommendations for the SCTF. The SCTF considered sub - committee input as part of the overall implementation strategy in the community. The SCTF then adopted the following two goals: 1. To identify and act upon things that most effectively reduce crime and that most effectively reduce the perception of crime; and 2. Recognize people want to feel safe and identify ways to provide that feeling of safety. The SCTF forwarded an initial set of recommendations to the City Council in February 2010. The SCTF also recommended the retention of a facilitator to assist in the ongoing process. Urban Strategies, of St. Louis, Missouri, began facilitation starting in March 2010. In July 2010, the SCTF submitted a second set of recommendations to the City Council. In the meantime, a subcommittee of SCTF members worked with City staff to implement one of the February recommendations, which consisted of a comprehensive study on crime and poverty in Dubuque. This subgroup solicited requests for proposals, reviewed the responses received, conducted interviews, and discussed this information with the full SCTF. The SCTF then recommended selection of Northern Illinois University Center for Governmental Studies (NIU /CGS) to conduct the study, which the City Council approved. From May 2010 through January 2011, NIU /CGS conducted a massive study on crime and poverty in Dubuque. On January 14, 2011, NIU /CGS delivered the 779 -page final report. On January 25, 2011, NIU /CGS presented its findings to the SCTF in a three -hour presentation. Among other pieces of information, the NIU Crime Study stated that 71% of respondents fear coming downtown at night. This is a significant finding and the study proposes several methods to combat this issue. One recommendation is to invest in the infrastructure and properties within the challenged area. Having appropriate funding to promote reinvestment in the neighborhood will be critical for this to happen. The use of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) has been an effective tool to encourage the downtown revitalization and may be effective in revitalizing this area as well. The Safe Community Taskforce has provided recommendations to implement the findings of the 2010 Crime Report by NIU. Three of these recommendations are as follows: • As exterior code violations are identified in neighborhoods, identify volunteers who are willing to assist with helping property owners remedy those violations, which will address the property conditions while also building relationships and a sense of community. • Support economic development efforts to create opportunities. • Expand the lighting recommendation to "Brighten up the streets and alleys at night and increase visibility for residents wherever lights are needed." These recommendations could be implemented more quickly if this area is included in the Urban Renewal District and funding becomes available for these projects. The Washington area has not seen the level of growth in property values as compared to the rest of the community. With the help of the City Assessor's Office, research was conducted of property values in 2000 and 2010 for the area. The area showed a 30.8% increase in property values from 2000 to 2010. Community wide, the property values increased 145.2% for the same period. This shows that the Washington area has grown at nearly 1/5 of the rate as the rest of the community. Having this area in the Urban Renewal District will provide additional tools to assist this neighborhood and hopefully, provide a growth rate equal to the City's overall growth rate. 4 The Washington Neighborhood has also experienced a decrease in population as evidenced by the recent result of the 2010 US Census. Although census tracts do not exactly align with our defined neighborhood boundaries, Census Tract 5 which covers most of the Washington Neighborhood experienced a 5.1% (209 people) loss between 2000 and 2010. This can be attributable to the disinvestment of the area and residents preferring to locate in other parts of the community. Attached is a map of the downtown area census tracts in relation to the proposed expansion areas of the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District. Areas of the Washington Neighborhood are prone to flooding from the enclosed Bee Branch storm sewer. America's River Phase III has begun to 'daylight' the creek. This will be a major amenity to the area and will encourage reinvestment. The project is scheduled to be complete by 2013. Again, an urban renewal district can provide the potential for financial assistance in this redevelopment. The age of structures in the proposed Washington Subarea is another factor relating to the disinvestment within the area. Attached is a map showing the ages of structures within the Washington Neighborhood. Older structures require proper upkeep to maintain their quality. The economic conditions of the area over last several decades has not encouraged or allowed some owners to properly maintain their properties. The financial tools available in an urban renewal district can be used to assist in this redevelopment. The West Locust/Bluff Street area also suffers from having an older building stock and has deteriorated from years of disinvestment and vacancies. The area has several historic structures which should be preserved to maintain the historic nature of the neighborhood. Attached are maps showing the locations of historically significant structures and areas surveyed for conservation districts or national historic status. Much of this area was recently included in a historic conservation district. Prescott School, one of the elementary schools in the area, has been classified as a Persistently Lowest - Achieving School from the US Dept. of Education through the No Child Left Behind program. Many factors are causing this designation, but improving the economic climate of the immediate area would help in improving education in the neighborhood. The boundary of the Washington Neighborhood subarea (shown in blue on the attached map) was selected by connecting to the northern boundary of the existing Greater Downtown District with the entirety of the Washington Neighborhood up to Comisky Park, the West Locust Corridor, and the north end of Bluff Street. Areas east of the Washington Neighborhood were also included because these areas are already in the City's Enterprise Zone 2, which is classified as a distressed area. 5 Chaplain Schmitt Island The Dubuque Racing Association has initiated a discussion with area leaders to create a master plan to improve Chaplain Schmitt Island and make it a beautiful entry point into the community from Wisconsin. Areas of the island are at a disadvantage for redevelopment because of potential flooding. Also, portions of the island were previously used as a city landfill. Having the island in the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal Area allows for the existing district to assist in funding projects which would accomplish goals established in a future master plan for redevelopment. The subarea would include the entirety of Chaplain Schmitt Island (shown in yellow on the attached map). Industrial Harbor The lower Bee Branch and the Industrial Harbor areas are currently undergoing a transformation. The Bee Branch creek restoration will make the 16 Street area a recreation amenity and will be creating parcels for additional commercial development. The parcel development on the south side of 16 Street may need assistance to achieve a quality development. The City owned leases in the Industrial Harbor are beginning to expire and an effort to gain market rate leases on the property has the potential for the area to increase in valuation. In some situations, it may be necessary for the City to partner with potential lessees. The financial tools available in an urban renewal district could provide the public assistance needed in these public /private partnerships. Several areas within this subarea have significant environmental issues which will need financial assistance if they are to be redeveloped. The former Operations & Maintenance Garage on Kerper Boulevard and AY McDonald site on E. 12 Street are Superfund sites. These areas have the potential for redevelopment due to their proximity to other areas of town, but environmental remediation activities will need to occur to achieve a quality development. Alliant Energy has identified the coal -fired power plant on East 7 Street for closure in 2015. This site will most likely have environmental issues that need assistance to redevelop the property. The Shot Tower is also included in this subarea. The structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and efforts are ongoing to provide meaningful interpretation in and around the structure. The Industrial Harbor subarea boundary was selected by having the western boundary meet the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District, surround the East 7 Street Economic Development District (Morrison Bros.) , and include the areas of the Kerper Boulevard Economic Development District that have not increased in valuation (shown in green on the attached map). Property owned by Blum Salvage has not been included in the District. This is because acquisition of the property is currently under negotiation under the Bee Branch Creek Restoration project. 6 East 7 Street Economic Development District The proposed expansion to the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District would totally surround the East 7 Street Urban Renewal District and therefore makes it logical to merge this district into the Greater Downtown District. The district was created to assist Morrison Brothers Company to expand their operations. Kerper Boulevard Economic Development District The Kerper Boulevard Economic Development District was created in 1994 to assist in Eagle Window and Door's relocation to a new facility on Kerper Boulevard (shown as red on the attached map) and potentially assist in improvements to the Dubuque Pack property. The City Council in 1994 self- imposed a 20 year time limit to collect tax increment from the designated economic development district (in 1994, Iowa law did not restrict economic development districts with a time limit). The City Council has the ability to amend the self- imposed time limit and allow the area to continue to collect tax increment to the extent allowed by current law. This proposed subarea has properties that have significant environmental contamination issues. The former City Operations & Maintenance Facility was once a coal gasification plant. This site, and a site on East 12 Street, has been classified as a Superfund site by the US EPA. Other areas within the subarea could be classified as brownfields, as they have real or perceived environmental issues relating to their redevelopment. In this proposal to merge the Kerper Boulevard District into the Greater. Downtown Urban Renewal District, it would best if the current Kerper Boulevard District be separated into two sub -areas or parts. The area containing Eagle Window, the City Operations and Maintenance facility, and Flynn Ready -Mix would be its own subarea in the plan (shown in red). This sub -area would have existing increment which is being utilized to retire debt and would continue to be classified as an economic development area. The other part, the Dubuque Pack property, would be included in the Industrial Harbor subarea and classified as a blighted area. The area including Eagle Window & Door's property would no longer have a self- imposed expiration date but would now have a new statutory (20 -year) limit on tax increment collections. The property tax increment being generated from this site would be available to help finance other improvements once the existing obligations are satisfied. The attached Resolution directs staff to prepare an Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan and to forward the Plan to the Long Range Planning Commission for its review and comment. This is required by Chapter 403 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 on the Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan, but they cannot block adoption of the Plan. This expansion will encourage continued investment within the downtown area. 7 A City Council public hearing on the Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan will be scheduled for May 2, 2011. 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, review and comment period by the Long Range Planning Commission and the consultation process with the taxing entities. RECOMENDATION I recommend the City Council adopt the attached Resolution of Necessity that begins the process of amending the Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District to expand the District to include areas generally known as the Washington Neighborhood, Chaplain Schmitt Island, and the Industrial Harbor, and to merge the East 7 Street Economic Development District and the Kerper Boulevard Economic Development District into the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District. The amendment will provide additional tools to encourage reinvestment and redevelopment activities throughout the expanded District and will support the revitalization of the area. ACTION STEP The action step for the City Council is to adopt the Resolution of Necessity attached to this memorandum.
