Schneider, City Clerk F:IUsersIATAUKEIUrban RevilelGarfleld PlacelGar UR Ex! 2 Ord.doc Garfield Place Urban Revitalization Area Plan Amended and Restated December 2005 Introduction The State of Iowa Urban Revitalization Act, Code of Iowa, Chapter 404, authorizes cities to designate an area of the City as a revitalization area. Improvements to qualified real estate within these designated areas may then become eligible for an exemption from property taxes for a specified number of years. To implement the provisions of the Act, the City must prepare a revitalization plan for each designated area. This document is the plan addressing the requirements of the Act for an area to be known as the "Garfield Place" Urban Revitalization Area, as amended. Area eligibility criteria The City Council has determined that this area is eligible for designation as a revitalization area as it meets one of the criteria outlined in Iowa Code. Specifically, the City Council has found this area to qualify as an economic development area as defined by Section 403.17 of the Iowa Code. This definition includes housing development where there is an inadequate supply of affordable, decent and safe housing and the provision of that housing will help to retain or attract industry or meet the needs of the elderly or disabled or of a population which may not be adequately served. .~ Designating this area as an Urban Revitalization Area will assist the provision of housing to a population which is not adequately served. The proposed Single Room Occupancy facilities will provide single men with decent housing at affordable rent. The property tax exemption will make this project feasible. Legal description The property to be included in the Garfield Place Revitalization Area is located at 511, 513, 515, 521, 525/527 and 601 Garfield, legally described as: Lot 1, Lot 2 and Lot 3 of Davis Place II, Lot 1 and Lot 2 Scharle Subdivision, and Lot 1 of Cook's Addition in the County of Dubuque, City of Dubuque, Iowa, according to the recorded plat thereof. A map of the area boundaries is attached as Exhibit A. 1 Current assessed value The current assessed valuation for the property as 2005 is as follows: 511 Garfield - $31,700 in total, which is $25,700 for the land and $6000 for the building, with an additional exemption of $312,200 for the building. 513 Garfield - $20,200 for the land in total, with an additional exemption of $315,800 for the building. 515 Garfield - $93,900in total, which is $12,200 for the land and $81,700 for the building. 521 Garfield - $41,200 in total, which is $12,000 for the land and $29,200 for the building. 525/527 Garfield- $116,900 in total, which is $12,200 for the land and $104,700 for the building. 601 Garfield- $73,800 in total, which is $10,600 for the land and $63,200 for the building. Property ownership The current property owner within the area, as of December 11, 2003 is: 511, 513,515 and 521 Garfield is owned by Davis Place LLC, 511 Garfield Dubuque, IA. .~ 525/527 Garfield is owned by Theodore N. and Betty L. Stackis, 527 Yo Garfield Avenue, Dubuque, IA 601 Garfield is owned by Loras G. Boge, with contract to Davis Place LLC, 511 Garfield Avenue, Dubuque, IA Existing zoning classification The existing zoning as December 5,2005 is OR (Office Residential) for the entirety of the property within the boundaries of the proposed Urban Revitalization Area. The zoning was changed at 511 Garfield from R-2A (Alternate Two-Family Residential district) on May 1, 2000, to allow for the construction of the existing 19 room facility. 513 and 515 Garfield were rezoned from R-2A on January 21,2002. The zoning was changed at 521 Garfield from R-2A on November 17, 2003. The Zoning Board of Adjustment approved variances on October 27,2005 for 601 Garfield to allow a 12 room Single Room Occupancy (SRO) with office with a deficit of 5 off-street parking spaces and 7 feet from the front property line Existing and proposed land use A 19 room single room occupancy (SRO) facility for low- and moderate-income men 2 was constructed in November 2000 at 511 Garfield, a second 19 room SRO constructed at 513 Garfield on June 2002, and a 12 room SRO constructed at 521 Garfield in 2004. Rents are limited by HUD income levels for low/moderate income residents. 515 Garfield contains a single family home which will remain. 525/527 Garfield is currently a mixed residential/commercial building which will remain. 601 Garfield is currently a vacant 11 room SRO facility will be demolished and a new 12 unit SRO constructed with limited rents as established for the other three SRO facilities. City services There are no current plans to expand or improve City services to this area. Currently the area enjoys the same level of City services as most other areas of the City. Exemption details Only residential property, assessed as commercial and consisting of three or more separate living quarters with at least seventy-five percent of the space used for residential purposes will be eligible for property tax exemption. This will assist the Single Room Occupancy (SRO) housing facilities that will provide .~ single men with decent housing at affordable rent, a population which is not adequately served. The property tax exemption will make these projects feasible "Qualified real estate" means real property other than land, which is located in a designated revitalization area and to which improvements have been added, during the time the area was so designated, which have increased the actual value by at least fifteen percent. "Qualified real estate" also means land upon which no structure existed at the start of new construction, which is located in a designated revitalization area and upon which new construction has been added during the time the area was so designated. Property tax exemption shall be available only for 'improvements' "Improvements" include new construction on vacant land. "Actual value added by improvements" means the actual value added as of the first year for which the exemption was received. Any improvements that were assessed before the area was officially designated will not be eligible for exemption. Improvements begun prior to one year prior to the area becoming designated will not be eligible for exemption. 3 Improvements must result in that structure meeting applicable building code requirements of the City of Dubuque. The actual value of the improvements must result in an increase in assessed value by at least fifteen percent. Each year that an application is made for tax exemption, the assessed value must have increased in that year by at least fifteen percent. The property tax exemption schedule, in accordance with 1999 Code of Iowa, Chapter 404.3 Subsection 4, is as follows: A ten-year, 100% exemption of the actual value added by the improvements. The designation of the amended and restated Garfield Place Urban Revitalization Area will remain in effect only until the area is fully redeveloped or for three years, whichever occurs first. Upon repeal or expiration of the ordinance establishing the revitalization area, all existing exemptions would continue until their previously established expiration date. -~ Industrial revenue bonds There are no plans to issue industrial revenue bonds for revitalization projects in this area. Relocation Relocation will not be necessary since the property at 601 Garfield has been vacant for the past two years. The property at 525/527 Garfield will not be affected. Anticipated grant or loan programs The project at 511 Garfield was funded through the Housing Trust Fund $200,000 forgivable loan (Local Housing Assistance Program. Iowa Department of Economic Development). Additional funding of $300,000 was provided through a conventional bank loan. The project at 513 Garfield was funded through the Housing Trust Fund $250,000 Forgivable Loan through the Iowa Department of Economic Development. Additional funding of $250,000 was received through a conventional bank loan. The project at 521 Garfield received Iowa Department of Economic Development HOME Program funds in the amount of $ 550,000. The project at 601 Garfield has requested Iowa Department of Economic Development HOME Program funds in the amount of $ 600,000. 4 Conclusion The Amended and Restated Garfield Place Urban Revitalization Area will assist the redevelopment efforts of deteriorated property which will provide for four buildings for Single Room Occupancy housing (males only) for the citizens of Dubuque. Two existing buildings contain 19 tenants each, one contains 12 tenants and the new SRO building will provide housing for 12 occupants. After the ten-year property tax exemption period elapses, the full assessed value of the properties will revert to the tax rolls to the benefit of the entire community. This area, upon designation, will follow the procedures for application and granting of the property tax exemption within the City of Dubuque. Application procedure 1. The property owner must apply for an exemption by February 1 st of the assessment year for which the exemption is first claimed, but not later than the year in which all the improvements are first assessed for taxation. Upon the request of the owner, the governing body of the City may provide by resolution that the owner may file an application no later than February 1 of the tenth assessment year. ~ 2. The application must contain, at a minimum, the following: a. The nature of the improvements, b. The cost of the improvements, c. The actual or estimated date of completion, and d. The tenants living on the property as of the date of the City's resolution adopting this plan. 3. The property owner has the option of submitting a proposal for an improvement project to the City prior to submitting a formal application. If the proposed project is in conformance with the revitalization plan, the City Council shall, by resolution, give preliminary approval of the project. Such preliminary approval shall not entitle the owner to exemption until the improvements have been completed and found to be qualified. If the proposal is rejected, the owner may submit an amended proposal. 4. The City reviews all applications to determine whether the improvement project conforms to the revitalization plan, is within a designated area, and if the improvements were made during the appropriate time period. If the project meets all three criteria, the City shall forward the application to the assessor by March 1st, with a statement as to which exemption applies. Applications for exemptions for succeeding years on approved projects shall not be required. 5. The local assessor shall review each application by making a physical review 5 of the property, to determine if the improvements made increased the actual value of the qualified real estate by at least fifteen percent or ten percent in the case of real property assessed as residential property. If the assessor determines that the actual value of that real estate has increased by at least the requisite percent, the assessor shall certify the property valuation, determined pursuant to the tax exemption schedule, to the County Auditor at the time of transmitting the assessment rolls. The assessor shall notify the applicant of the determination, and the assessor's decision may be appealed to the local board of review at the time specified in Iowa Code. The property owner may also refile an application in a subsequent year after additional improvements have been made. 6. After the tax exemption is granted, the assessor shall continue to grant the tax exemption, with periodic physical review by the assessor, for the ten-year time period specified in the tax exemption schedule. 7. An application for exemption received by February 1 in any year after the year in which the improvement was completed and first assessed for taxation, is a late application. Late application may be made in any year up to the tenth year following completion of the improvement. The exemption period will be the remainder of the ten year period, which began upon completion of the ~. improvement, except the total number of years in the exemption schedule will be allowed if a claim for exemption is filed within two years of the February 1 filing deadline.

Van Milligen MCVM/jh Attachment cc: Barry Lindahl, Corporation Counsel Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager David Harris, Housing and Community Development Department Director ~~~E ~~~ MEMORANDUM January 17, 2006 TO: Michael C Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: David ~~iS' Housing and Community Development Department SUBJECT: Amended and Restated Garfield Place Urban Revitalization Area Plan Introduction This memorandum recommends that the City Council adopt the ordinance approving the Amended and Restated Garfield Place Urban Revitalization Area Plan. Background In December the City Council adopted a resolution setting a public hearing for February 6, 2006 on the Amended and RestatedGarfield Place Urban Revitalization Area Plan. The amended plan will add two adjoining lots to allow property tax exemption for a proposed 12-room single-room occupancy (SRO) facility at 601 Garfield Avenue and extends the duration of the plan. ~ Discussion The amendment adds 525/527Garfield and 601 Garfield to the Garfield Place Urban Revitalization Area and extends the duration of the plan for 3 years. The proposed project includes demolition of an existing vacant 11 unit SRO and construction of a fourth SRO with rooms for 12 low-moderate income men at 601 Garfield Avenue. 525/527 Garfield contains a mixed residential/commercial building which will remain and no tax exemption will be provided. Davis Place LLC, contract owner of 601 Garfield, has applied to the Iowa Department of Economic Development for HOME Program funds for a $600,000 forgivable loan. They are requesting the urban revitalization tax exemption to ensure the feasibility of the project. There are currently19 residents at 511 Garfield Avenue, 19 residents at 513 Garfield and 12 residents at 521 Garfield. 601 Garfield has been vacant for two years. The amended and restated plan will add the adjoining lots to the district and allow for new construction, an improvement for which property tax exemption will be requested. The original Garfield Place Urban Revitalization Area Plan also provided for new construction, which has been completed and tax exemption received Chapter 404 provides for a public comment period prior to the adoption of an urban revitalization plan. Additionally, the City's Code of Ordinances requires comment by the Long Range Planning Commission on any urban revitalization plan. Based upon these requirements, the Council set a public hearing for February 6 2006 that provided a 30 day comment period on the amended plan. The property owner and tenants were notified. The Long Range Planning Commission reviewed and approved the plan at their December 21 st meeting. At the public hearing, the Council will be able to approve the plan and pass a first reading of an ordinance designating the property as an urban revitalization area. A second hearing must be held only if the City receives within the thirty days a valid petition from at least ten percent of owners or tenants within the designated revitalization area. If such a petition is submitted, the City Council may set a second public hearing and proceed to act upon the proposed Plan following that hearing. If no such petition is presented, the City Council may simply adopt the proposed plan following the thirty-day period. Recommendation I recommend that the City Council approve the ordinance authorizing adoption of the amended and restated Garfield Place Urban Revitalization Plan on or after March 9, 2006 if no valid petition for a second hearing is filed. .~ Action Requested The Action Step is for the City Council to adopt the attached ordinance.
