Heiar, Economic Development Director~~ SUBJECT: Application for Enterprise Zone Recertifications of a City's Existing Enterprise Zone -1 and Enterprise Zone - 2 INTRODUCTION This memorandum presents for City Council review and approval two resolutions approving the filing of applications with the Iowa Department of Economic Development (IDED) requesting Enterprise Zone Recertification to the City's existing Enterprise Zones that meet the state's eligibility requirements. The completed applications are attached to this memo. BACKGROUND The City currently has two enterprise zones. Enterprise Zone - 1 includes Census Tract 1 and Censust Tract 7.01 Block Group 1 and covers the downtown, Loras College area, and the riverfront areas. Enterprise Zone - 2 includes Census Tract 5 and is located generally along Central Avenue from the downtown area to E. 32"d Street. The legislation regarding Enterprise Zones has extended the program and Dubuque's Enterprise Zones can be recertified for an additional 10 years. Enterprise zone designation provides incentives for new development that include tax credits, refunds of sales, service and use taxes, supplemental new jobs training withholding credit and property tax exemption. The City will continue to offer only a 10- yearone dollar per year property tax exemption that protects the City's ability to use tax increment financing in coterminous urban renewal/enterprise zone areas. Also, in portions of the Enterprise Zone - 1, the existing Urban Revitalization program allows a 10-year 100% property tax exemption on new assessed value for residential projects. This memo proposes to recertify both existing zones and include all eligible areas. The City is eligible to include 6.17 square miles in total enterprise zone areas. The current enterprise zones cover 3.37 square miles. DISCUSSION The proposed recertification of EZ - 2 would include the entire Census Tract 5, all of which meets the state's Enterprise Zone eligibility requirements for per capita income of $12,648 or less and family poverty rate of 12 percent or higher based on the 2000 census. The proposed recertification of EZ - 1 ;would include the entire Census Tract 1, all of which meets the state's Enterprise Zone eligibility requirements for the family poverty rate of 12 percent or higher based on the 2000 census and a vacancy rate higher than 10 percent based on the 2000 census. EZ - 1 also covers Census Tract 7.01 Block Group 1, all of which meets the state's Enterprise Zone eligibility requirements for per capita income of $12,648 or less and family poverty rate of 12 percent or higher based on the 2000 census. RECOMMENDATION I recommend that the City Council adopt the attached resolutions authorizing the filing of the applications for Enterprise Zone Recertification for Enterprise Zones - 1 and 2. The benefits of zone designation provide additional financial development tools for the City and developers as we seek to attract and stimulate eligible housing and job creation projects in the community. ACTION STEP The Action Step for the City Council is to adopt the attached resolutions. attachments F:\USERSWdejong\Enterprise Zone12007 EZ Recertification\EZ1 and 2 recert memo.doc RESOLUTION NO. 471-07 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION WITH THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REQUESTING ENTERPRISE ZONE RECERTIFICATION OF THE EXISTING ENTERPRISE ZONE - 1 IN THE CITY OF DUBUQUE.
