INTRODUCTION _ The City of Iowa City, Iowa, is seeking a responsible developer to undertake construction of a hotel and commercial development in downtown Iowa City. In order to ensure the success of this development, the City will consider the use of industrial revenue bonds as a means to provide it long term financing for the project. Access to the hotel site is excellent and parking will be readily available in a parking structure presently being constructed by the City immediately adjacent to the hotel site. The land has been reasonably priced and the City has pledged to minimize any delays involving City actions regarding the development of this key downtown parcel. The City r is willing to allow the developer considerable latitude in I ' design/construction arrangements and other factors relating to the development. ii In recent years, the City of Iowa City, Iowa, has undertaken an ambitious urban renewal program to remove blighted commercial and residential buildings from its vital retail and employment center. After several c' (� years of land acquisition, clearing, and site preparation, considerable L, private and public redevelopment has been completed. A detailed listing I! of these developments is contained in Section III of this Prospectus. ff� New development in Iowa City has many assets which should ensure success U to the competent developer. These are summarized as follows: (� 5 F! Location: The site available for disposition and development is located in the very heart of Iowa City, adjacent to existing retailing and near the University of Iowa campus. The City has �a1 i recently completed a pedestrian mall immediately adjacent to the y site. The University, a Big Ten school with over 20,000 enrolled i+ students and thousands of faculty members and employees, is adjacent to the project area. Pedestrian traffic within the redevelopment area is very heavy, and the location of the University and attendant employment and student population have limited suburban shopping 1 development opportunities in Iowa City. Primarily because of the e University and its location, downtown Iowa City has remained the premier employment center for the region, offering a full array of daytime and nighttime activities. Access: Street improvements and traffic routing have been undertaken, predicated on reinforcing downtown access and environment. The City is providing approximately 1,300 parking spaces in two new parking structures within the downtown. The mass transit system, which is heavily used in Iowa City because of student 11 L and faculty population, has a major transfer point nearby. Market Support: There is a shortage of quality transient facilities in Iowa City. Occupancy rates at good facilities are high, generally over 80 percent. There are no competitive transient facilities in the central business district to serve downtown businesses and the University. Only a small facility maintained by the University of I1 Iowa serves a part of the needs of the University's programs. I` 1 37 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LA9 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 2 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES Land Price and Use Restrictions: As an incentive to attain project objectives, the City is offering the designated redevelopment site under highly favorable purchase and development terms. The parcel is attractively priced, to ensure feasible quality development. Due to the location of the municipal parking structure being constructed adjacent to the hotel site, there is no requirement for privately owned parking, thus reducing the amount of capital cost requiring amortization. i Land Disposition and Review Process: To avoid the undue delay which often characterizes urban renewal programs, the City has developed a "streamlined" process to encourage development proposals and expedite approvals. As indicated in this Prospectus, no elaborate models or detailed plans are required in submitting bids. Bids will �i be reviewed in an expeditious process to ensure minimum uncertainty and developer expense. The successful bidder will be designated quickly, and the City is prepared to work closely with the developer to ensure there are no misunderstandings or undue delays in arriving at an acceptable plan for the development of the site and securing approvals supportive thereof. determination to in implementation, If To demonstrate the City's aid ;j following the designation of the successful offeror, the City is Ypr willing to consider all plans required to be submitted to the City 411 Council to be deemed approved unless formal rejection setting forth i Rj in detail the reason therefore is made by the City Manager to the site redeveloper within forty (40) calendar days from the date of plan submission. These provisions will likewise apply to any amendment or revised plans resubmitted as a result of required €i changes. !'; iii Supportive Public Improvements: In addition to securing new private development, the City is directly improving Iowa City's physical a environment to serve the employment, shopping and recreational needs s3 �y of its citizens. Utilities under key streets have been replaced and 2i additional utility improvements are planned. City Plaza, a 3.1 block pedestrian plaza with Governor Lucas Square at its center, has been 1 constructed on College and Dubuque Streets, immediately adjacent to the hotel development site. Phase II of the Streetscape Improvement Project, which will completely rebuild and improve Capitol, 4 Washington and Clinton Streets within the Project Area, is underway F� and scheduled for completion in 1980. A new public library is being L' built immediately across College Street from the hotel site. Construction of this major public facility began in October, 1979. t Construction of a 900 car parking ramp is nearing completion and ! construction of a 450 car parking ramp is also underway.

THE PROJECT BACKGROUND The City of Iowa City began planning for downtown redevelopment in the mid -1960's. The City began the execution phase of Urban Renewal Project Iowa R-14 in the fall of 1971. Since that time the project has progressed through the land acquisition, clearance, and disposition phases. During this time, the City invested substantially in new or improved public improvements within the project area. Specific details regarding public and private developments are explained below: GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The City of Iowa City has had two principal goals in its Urban Renewal Project: (1) to clear all buildings which contributed to blighted conditions and which hindered private development, as defined in the Urban Renewal Plan; and (2) to promote redevelopment which will not only help support the downtown core, but will serve in itself as an important contributor to downtown economic vitality. Acquisition and clearance activity has been completed. The major public improvements have been completed or are underway. All land disposition sites, except the hotel site, have been sold. The overall CBD Redevelopment, as designed, incorporated key land use elements of retail, office, hotel, residential and institutional uses in a mutually reinforcing land use pattern which reflects market support, location of existing businesses, employment concentrations and transportation linkages. Key considerations which lead to the plan and characterize basic plan components are summarized as follows and depicted on the Land Use Map on page 15B. KEY PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS I. Development parcels were identified for specific land uses in accord with a comprehensive review of market supports for the downtown area. Iowa City, with about 50,000 residents, has prescribed capacity for different land uses. Recognizing these parameters, restrictions have been incorporated which encourage the concentration of. retailing activities on certain parcels, office/employment activities on other parcels, and transient facilities on a specific parcel. 2. The retailing pattern established for the downtown relies on the classical "dumbbell" approach, with intervening retail opportunities located between the anchor developments at each end of City Plaza. Old Capitol Center, a two story enclosed shopping center with approximately 378,000 gross square feet, including two department stores, is the major anchor at the west end. The new public library and the hotel/commercial development now being sought will serve as the anchor at the east end of City Plaza. The north -south axis of City Plaza provides an attractive and convenient linkage to significant retail activity to the north.

A 900 car parking ramp located on Block 83, to be integrated with Old j Capitol Center, and a 450 car parking ramp located on Block 64, to be integrated with the hotel development, are designed to serve the off- street parking needs of downtown patrons. The Capitol Street Ramp on Block 83 is nearing completion. Construction of the Dubuque Street ramp on Block 64 began in December, 1979, and will be completed in the fall of 1980. i i i I 37 141CROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 9 I 9 CAPITOL STREET PARKING RAMP (looking northwest from intersection of Clinton and Burlington Streets). 4. City Plaza, an exclusively pedestrian plaza located on College and Dubuque Streets, is adjacent to the hotel development site and serves to enhance pedestrian circulation and the downtown shopping environment. The east -west axis ties together the shopping center at the west and the library and hotel development on the east. The north -south axis ties the Plaza to the retail areas to the north. 5. The Iowa City Public Library is heavily utilized by the community and is a major destination point for pedestrian and vehicular traffic. A new, expanded library, now under construction on Block 65, has been fully integrated into the overall downtown plan. 6. Residential development has been included at the periphery of the commercial area. A 3.4 acre tract on Blocks 93 and 101 has been developed with 96 units of "market rate" housing. Eighty-one units of subsidized housing for the elderly are now under construction at the corner of Dubuque and Court Streets, one block south of the hotel site. A second project containing 80 subsidized units for the elderly is planned on Block 61, one block to the north of the hotel site. 9 I41CROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LA9 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 37 a 9 7. The project plan relates closely to the University, which is the pre- eminent employer and activity center within Iowa City. Pedestrian and vehicular linkages are planned to encourage the flow of people between downtown and the University. Retail space, offices and library facilities are all supportive of encouraging interaction between the University and the downtown. 8. Placement and design of public improvements, amounting to $15.1 million, are predicated on maintaining a viable and active downtown area. The public improvements are supportive of the private development, but also represent an attraction in themselves and ensure that the downtown area retains its pre-eminent role in the region.

Although certain federal regulations still apply, the marketing of this land to developers by the municipality has greatly simplified the disposition process. There is one less level of government directly involved in transferring the land from the public sector to the private sector. This change in normal practices has resulted from the City's desire to expedite project implementation and remove the obstacles which have hindered many renev,al projects in other areas of the country. PRIVATE DEVELOPMENTS Previous land marketing efforts have been highly successful. Brief descriptions of private developments now under construction or under contract to begin soon are set forth below. Total private reinvestment committed to redevelopment projects on land sold by the City in the CBD exceeds $26,000,000. A. Old Capitol Center: This enclosed shopping center occupies over 182,000 square feet of land on Blocks 83 and 84 and will enclose a total of approximately 378,000 square feet of retail; service, and common area. Old Capitol Center Partners, the developer of this center, has secured the financing required and has received lease commitments for over 80% of the available space, including long term leases for two major department stores: Younkers and J.C. Penney's. Leasing progress on the remainder is proceeding rapidly. Th;s development is under construction at the present time and is scheduled for occupancy in late 1980.

Plaza Centre One: Plaza Centre One is a five story retail/office building located on the northwest corner of the intersection of College and Dubuque Streets, diagonally across Governor Lucas Square from the hotel development site. This structure houses retail uses on the ground floor and professional offices on the upper four floors. The development is completed, the retail space is fully leased, and the office space is nearly fully leased. 1 PLAZA CENTRE ONE (Governor Robert Lucas Square and Fountain, foreground).

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 37 V R 12 PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS The City has been and remains committed to upgrading public improvements within the project area to a level supportive of sound, private redevelopment. The City is undertaking an energetic public improvement program within the project area to enhance the overall image. Public investment has been used for a broad range of functional and aesthetic improvements to utilities, streets, parking, and other major public facilities. A summary of these public investments in the CBD follows: A. Streets: Street improvements are designed to provide safe, efficient and attractive circulation with minimized conflicts between pedestrian, bicycle, automobile, transit and service vehicular traffic. Court Street and Burlington Street have been widened and repaved. The City has completed a four -block semi -mall on Washington Street. City Plaza, an exclusively pedestrian plaza occupying two blocks of College Street and one and one-half blocks of Dubuque Street, has been completed. This project, which cost $1.8 million, has been designed to strongly reinforce the pedestrian orientation and to enhance the ease with which pedestrians circulate within the CBD. The character of City Plaza is warm and rustic with an abundance of brick, wood, trees and green spaces. Benches have been clustered for ease of conversation and there is a children's play area east of the College/Dubuque intersection, immediately north of the hotel development site. Governor Robert Lucas Square is located at the center of City Plaza. This focal point is occupied by an attractive fountain with strong sculptural detail, making the area equally attractive during winter months when the fountain is not operated. The design of the square incorporates convenient seating along the planters and terraced on the steps, and the fountain design allows the use of the raised pools as stages. Theatrical lighting effects are possible, making the area ideal for theatrical and cultural events. This central area was paid for by $50,000 of City funds and $81,000 of private donations raised predominately within the downtown business community.

The Central Business District Streetscape Improvement Project, Phase II, is being carried out on Capitol, Washington, and Clinton Streets. Six blocks of these streets are being completely redesigned and rebuilt to improve both their function and their appearance. The project includes replacement of underground utilities; removal and replacement of street paving to improve access and to better serve abutting properties; removal and replacement of sidewalks; the installation of landscape plantings, street furniture and other amenities; and the construction of an attractive bus staging area to serve as the central transfer point for the three public transit systems serving the greater Iowa City area. The construction of this $1.5 million project is being carried out in three stages between August, 1979, and summer, 1980. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 37 I 14 B. Subsurface Improvements: Water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer systems are in sound condition. Throughout the area, as streets are being upgraded, the subsurface utilities have been evaluated and replaced as necessary. This procedure of protective reinvestment �i will continue. r C. Parking: The City has undertaken an energetic expansion and li improvement of the municipal parking system. Two parking structures, together having the capacity to hold over 1,300 cars, are being added to the system. These structures have been attractively designed to be highly functional, and to provide easy external and internal circulation for the public. i i n A 914 car facility, costing over $4 million, is now partially open on Block 83. This structure is integrated with Old Capitol Center and will serve the center as well as the other activities occurring in the nearby portions of the CBD. A second ramp, with a capacity of 450 cars and a designed expansion capacity of an additional 200 cars, is under construction on Block 64 immediately south of the hotel site. This structure is intended to serve the parking needs of the hotel and commercial development, the new public library, and other nearby CBD activities. These parking structures have been financed through a revenue bond issue, with the bonds to be retired using parking system revenues. Public Library: Ths City is constructing a new enlarged public library at the corner of College and Linn Streets, across City Plaza from the hotel site. This library, costing $3.5 million, will serve as a strong pedestrian activity generator and along with the hotel will anchor the east end of City Plaza. Construction began in October, 1979, and completion is planned for spring, 1981. Senior Center: The City has purchased the old U.S. Post Office, located at the corner of Washington and Linn Streets, and is planning to renovate the structure for use as a multi-purpose senior center. This center will serve to meet many of the service and social needs of greater Iowa City's elderly population. This project, costing $1.2 million, is scheduled for construction activity in 1980.

THE LAND DISPOSITION PROGRAMS The City is soliciting offers to purchase and develop a portion of Block 125 feet of the 64 as a hotel/commercial use while retaining the southern 450 block for a parking ramp which will accommodate cars. A. Development Requirements The City has, throughout the redevelopment program, sought to afford flexibility in designing developers the maximum possible with the general Urban Renewal Plan and developments, consistent with the City's determination to protect the existing and p i= consistent planned elements of the CBD. The requirements for development on The C� will not consider, nor / Block 64 are set forth below. which do not meet the requirements set forth acce t, an proposals herein. 1. Price The minimum acceptable price for this parcel is $250,000. The to purchase and City will not accept nor consider any offer this for which the price offered is not equal redevelop parcel to or greater than this minimum price. As set forth in Section in the V, Procedures, the City is including the price offered because the goals of the project evaluation criteria. However, to well-designed, high-quality development, the are accomplish consideration of price offered is not paramount. The City fully the right to consider price as one of several variables reserves and to select the proposal which, in the t�+ to be considered, judgment of the City, best serves the public interest, in the proposal. a t•+ notwithstanding the price offered preferred 2. Land Use The required use of this parcel is fora hotel with at least one A and a hundred thirty-five (135) furnished rooms. restaurant required as ancillary operations. Additional I' lounge are also supportive retail development is preferred, but not required. 3. Building Height The hotel structure must be at least three (3) stories in ! height. 4. Parkin The City is constructing a parking structure adjacent to the the needs of the �� hotel site. This structure is intended to meet facilities contiguous thereto, as well as 6: hotel and commercial the needs of surrounding areas of the CBD. The City recognizes that the ramp configuration of the parking is underway, structure has been designed and construction the hotel/commercial developer has been selected. Even IL before MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB ,. CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES W lei I I I 17 with the ramp in place, the ramp is adequately located and sized to offer considerable design flexibility for the hotel. The access/egress configuration for the ramp, however, can be altered only at private expense. Any changes in design can be expedited through a development change -order during construction, provided there is no additional public cost. The City also recognizes that additional demand for parking spaces may necessitate enlargement of the planned facility. The facility is designed to be expanded by two additional levels, which would increase capacity by another 200 cars. The hotel will be expected to pay the regular hourly or nightly rate in effect for hotel patron parking, or the hotel may choose to have hotel patrons pay for some or all of their parking. Regular hourly rates have been established at 25Q per hour during the day and 504 per night between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a. m. Alterations in the parking fee shall occur as occupancy and maintenance costs dictate and shall be established solely at City discretion. 5. Support Facilities The City recognizes that to attain maximum economic viability in the project, a redeveloper may desire to construct additional facilities to mutually support other private investment. Accordingly, the City will permit the redeveloper to bid on the parcels as follows: 1) The redeveloper may bid on the parcel solely for construction of a high quality hotel to be designed in accordance with existing site constraints; up to 10,000 gross square feet of ancillary retail may be included. 2) The redeveloper may propose to develop a hotel and supportive commercial space not to exceed 90,000 gross square feet, provided that a quality, non -discount department store of from 50,000 to 75,000 gross square feet shall be included in the 90,000 gross square feet total. The City shall objectively evaluate all proposals on their merits without unduly penalizing any redeveloper for submitting either proposal. A redeveloper interested only in developing a hotel, therefore, can successfully bid and achieve designation. However, the public interest would be served by development of commercial facilities in addition to the proposed hotel and the alternative bidding process allows a redeveloper who has secured sufficient commitments to submit such a redevelopment bid. The following criteria illustrate the City's concern for minimum levels of support development which could be constructed in this project that would meet public policy objectives: MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LA6 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES i 18 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAO CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES m The City requires that from 50,000 to 75,000 of the 90,000 gross square feet be occupied in a major department store, r with the remaining square footage to be occupied by retail establishments occupying ground floor space in the hotel and specialty retail establishments developed outside the hotel; I-; The City will allow encroachment of up to ten feet into the public right-of-way comprised of the public mall space .. along the west side of Block 64 (see page of this document) for the purpose of using the space for outdoor, hotel -related functions (sidewalk cafes, etc.), support ' retail space, or other appropriate commercial development space. The price, terms, and conditions of such use shall be subject to negotiations with the City. The City shall i have the final approval concerning the construction and design aspects of any development encroaching into the IA public right-of-way. Y B. Project Financing hi Redevelopers are encouraged to use conventional financing methods, in which case the basic terms and conditions of this solicitation lag apply. However, recent amendments to Chapter 419, Code of -ashall Iowa, now make it legally permissible for the City to issue Industrial Revenue Bonds to provide long-term financing for a �+ project of this nature. Therefore, redevelopers have the option of # iy requesting Industrial Revenue Bond financing, in which case the F additional terms and conditions set forth below shall apply: a `` 1. General Conditions: rf ?1 Such bond issue would not constitute a financial obligation of i the City. Retirement of the bonds would necessarily come from -o the revenues of the hotel and commercial operations. G, Redevelopers desiring to seek such financing are specifically referred to Chapter 419, Code of Iowa as amended by House File 81, 1979, regarding the City's authority to undertake such a bond issue. , to 2.

Any redeveloper submitting a bid which does not fully meet the Quality Specifications listed above risks receiving only partial capital financing coverage through an Industrial Revenue Bond issue, at an amount to be determined at the sole discretion of the City. 4. Hotel Management: The attractiveness of the hotel, and the long-term ability to repay the bonded indebtedness, is highly dependent on the management of the project. The City considers the experience and demonstrated ability of the hotel management group to be critical to debt security. Accordingly, the City will undertake an Industrial Revenue Bond issue only under circumstances where quality project management can be assured. Prior to the issuance of such bonds, the redeveloper will be required to enter into a management agreement, or otherwise secure management, in a manner which is legally binding for the life of the bonds, unless a change in management is expressly agreed to in writing by the City.

Neal Berlin from. Dennis E. Showalter re: Hickory Hill Park date: January 3, 1979 This land was purchased with cemetery expansion bonds, and obviously the original intent was to use it as a cemetery. It is presently used as a park, and it isn't practical to use it as cemetery in the future. There is substantial legal precedent to change use designation Of city -owned property; the legal staff does not see any problem with this change. The two pieces of Gaulocher property were purchased for cemetery use, but the source of purchase money isn't identified. The small tract on the east (8.75 acres) is currently being used as cemetery. The larger tract (39.83 acres) is currently being used as Hickory Hill Park. This ordinance doesn't affect those two parcels, which means that the city could expand the cemetery into a portion of the 39.83 acres at a later date. I have discussed the land use change on the north 40 acres with Mabel Woods, and she sees no problem with it being designated as park land.
