FROM: Maurice Jones, Economic Development Director
SUBJECT: Amending Tax Increment Ordinance for the Dubuque Industrial
Center Economic Development District
DATE: August 31, 2015
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum transmits for City Council review and adoption an ordinance
amending the tax increment ordinance for the Dubuque Industrial Center Economic
Development District ("District"). The proposed ordinance was reviewed by the City
Attorney's Office and City's bond counsel and is attached to this memo.
The proposed amendment would allow tax increment financing to be used in the new
Subarea G of the District.
BACKGROUND
On July 20, 2015, a Resolution of Necessity was adopted finding that the area being
considered for urban renewal district designation is an economic development area and
that the development of the area is necessary in the interest of the public welfare of the
residents of the City.
On August 10, 2015, a Consultation was conducted with the affected taxing entities as
required by Chapter 403.5 of the Iowa Code, providing an opportunity to discuss,
question, or object to the findings in these documents. Prior to the meeting, the taxing
entities were mailed copies of the Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan and the
Notice of Public Hearing. No representatives were in attendance.
On August 19, 2015, the Amended and Restated Plan was reviewed by the Long Range
Planning Commission. The Commission has forwarded its recommendation to the City
Council affirming that the Amended and Restated Plan is consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan for development.
On August 21 , 2015 the notice of public hearing was published to allow for the
appropriate publication requirements. Assuming that the City Council approves of the
Amended and Restated Plan following the public hearing, Council action to amend the
tax increment ordinance for the District would be appropriate.
DISCUSSION
The primary goal of the Amended and Restated Plan is to expand opportunity for public
improvements and private industrial development by adding a new Subarea G to the
District. Following Council approval of the Amended and Restated Plan, adoption of the
amending tax increment ordinance is needed to allow the use of tax increment financing
in the new Subarea G of the District.
As before, the ordinance authorizes the City to maintain a special fund for the collection
of a portion of the property tax revenues generated by new development occurring the
District. All taxable property located in the District will continue to pay property taxes
based upon the current tax levies and assessment valuations. Tax revenues collected
in excess of the base amounts will be used to assist in financing future development
projects within the District, including both public and private development.
RECOMMENDATION/ ACTION STEP
Following City Council approval of the Amended and Restated Plan, I recommend that
the City Council approve the ordinance attached hereto for the Dubuque Industrial
Center Economic Development District. Tax increment financing is an important tool for
economic development and will be used to assist future public and private development
efforts.

6. Creation of financial incentives necessary to encourage new and existing
businesses to invest in the District; and
7. Expansion of the property tax base of the District.
C. DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
The District is located entirely within the County of Dubuque, State of Iowa. Most of the
District, including all of Subareas A, B, C, D, E, and G currently is within the corporate
limits of the City of Dubuque. In accordance with Iowa Code Section 403.17(4),
Dubuque County consented to the inclusion of Subarea F in the District in a Joint
Agreement between the City and County, dated April 20, 2015. The City expects that
Subarea F ultimately will become part of the City of Dubuque.
The City of Dubuque believes that the objectives of the Plan can best be accomplished
by defining the real property included within the District as seven separate areas so as
to distinguish the original District (Subarea A) from the subsequent expansion areas
(Subareas B, C, D, E, F, and G).
The descriptions of the boundaries of each Subarea are attached to this Plan as
ATTACHMENT D, District Boundary Description by Subarea.
The boundaries of the District are delineated on the Subarea Map, attached to this Plan
as ATTACHMENT A.
The City of Dubuque reserves the right to further modify the boundaries of the District at
4
some future date. Any amendments to the Plan will be completed in accordance with
Chapter 403 of the Iowa Code, Urban Renewal Law.

7
assisted by the City through any of the PUBLIC PURPOSE ACTIVITIES listed above.
1 . Land Use
Subareas A, B, C, D, E, F, and G shall continue to be developed under the
regulations of the existing Dubuque Industrial Center Planned Industrial District.
The allowed uses provide for a mix of commercial and industrial land use
activities within a quality industrial park setting.
LAND USE maps (Attachments B-1 and B-2) identify the existing and the
proposed land uses within Subareas A, B, C, D, E, F, and G.
2. Planning and Design Criteria
The planning criteria to be used to guide the physical development of Subareas
A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are those standards and guidelines contained within the
City of Dubuque's Unified Development Code and other applicable local, state
and federal codes and ordinances.
a. Subarea A development will continue to be additionally governed by the
Conditions of Development and Operation Documents of the Dubuque
Industrial Center Planned Industrial District as amended from time to time.
b. Subareas B, C, D, E, and F will develop under a PI Planned Industrial
District ordinance as required by Section 16-5-24 of the City of Dubuque's
Unified Development Code. Development will follow the Planned Unit
Development regulations which require a conceptual development plan
and specific design and performance standards to be approved by
ordinance.
C. Subarea G is intended to develop as an Industrial area similar to
Subareas B, C, D, E, and F.
F. LAND ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION
The City of Dubuque is prepared to acquire and dispose of property in support of the
development and redevelopment of the District within the parameters set forth below.
1 . Land Acquisition
The City expects to acquire all of the land located within Subarea G and to make
the same available for private development in accordance with this Plan.
2. Land Disposition
8
All publicly held land that is available for development within the District,
including those parcels included with Subarea G, 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 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 will be required by contractual agreement to 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.
3. Relocation Requirements
No relocation is anticipated at this time.
G. FINANCING ACTIVITIES
To meet the OBJECTIVES of this Plan and to encourage the development of the District
and private investment therein, the City of Dubuque is prepared to provide financial
assistance to qualified industries and businesses 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 . Chapter 15A Loan or Grant
The City of Dubuque has determined that the making of loans or grants of public
funds to qualified industries and businesses 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 businesses located within the District. 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 Financing
9
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 Part D of this Plan. Bonds, tax rebate agreements and/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).
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 development of new industrial land 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 public infrastructure improvements and facilities within the
District;
C. Acquisition, installation, maintenance and replacement of public
investments throughout the District including but not limited to street lights,
landscaping and buffers, signage and appropriate amenities;
d. Acquisition of land and/or buildings and preparation of same for sale or
lease 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 qualified businesses;
f. Loans or grants to qualified businesses under Chapter 15A of the Iowa
Code, including tax rebate payments, debt service payments on any
bonds issued to finance such loans or grants, for purposes of expanding
10
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.
h. Any of the costs incurred in connection with any of the PUBLIC PURPOSE
ACTIVITIES described in Part D of this Plan.
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 within the
District, will not exceed $50,000,000.
The City of Dubuque's current general debt subject to the constitutional debt limit is
$171 ,955,634 (a list of the outstanding obligations is found at Attachment C) and the
applicable constitutional debt limit is $196,031 ,074 for the Fiscal Year ending June 30,
2016, which is the fiscal year immediately following the update of this Plan.
H. 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.
I. DURATION OF APPROVED URBAN RENEWAL PLAN
1 . Subarea A
This Plan shall continue in effect for Subarea A 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 of its advances and principal and
interest payable on all Tax Increment Financing or general obligations issued to
carry out the OBJECTIVES of the Plan.
2. Subareas B, C, D, E, F, and G
This Plan shall continue in effect until terminated by the City Council; provided,
however, that the collection of tax increment revenues from properties located in
11
Subareas B, C, D, E, F, and G shall be limited as provided by law (currently
twenty (20) years from the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
City first certifies to the County Auditor the amount of any loans, advances,
indebtedness or bonds which qualify for payment from the division of tax
increment revenue provided for in Section 403.19 (tax increment financing) of the
Iowa Code.)
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.
J. SEVERABILITY
In the event one or more provisions contained in this Plan shall be held for any 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 Plan shall be construed and implemented as if such
provision had never been contained herein.
K. 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. Any change effecting any property or contractual right can be effectuated only in
accordance with applicable state and local law.

RE: Amendment of the Dubuque Industrial Center Economic Development District—
McFadden Farm
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
Introduction
On August 19, 2015, the Long Range Planning Advisory Commission reviewed the proposed
expansion of the Dubuque Industrial Center Economic Development District to add the
McFadden Farm as Subarea G.
Discussion
The amendment will expand the district to include the 161 acre McFadden Farm. The
amendment is consistent with the City of Dubuque Comprehensive Plan which supports
sufficient opportunities for industrial development sites within the community; retention and
expansion of existing, and attraction of new, industrial development opportunities in suitable
locations; and encourages annexation of land suitable for industrial use if necessary.
The Commission reviewed the objectives of the Dubuque Industrial Center Economic
Development District. The Commission believes the amendment is a logical expansion of the
current Industrial Park noting the property and services will be attractive to businesses and
industries.
Recommendation
By a vote of 6-0, the Long Range Planning Advisory Commission recommends approval of the
amendment to the Dubuque Industrial Center Economic Development District as it is consistent
with the 2012 Dubuque Comprehensive Plan.
Respectfully submitted,
