Re: Scott-Six Urban Renewal Plan
Presented for Council action is a resolution determining the necessity and setting dates of a
consultation and a public hearing on a proposed Scott-Six Urban Renewal Plan. This is the
first step in establishing the use of tax increment financing for the Scott-Six Industrial Park
(attached is a proposed time schedule and steps for establishing a tax increment financing
district).
For the Council's information, the following explains how tax increment financing works.
Tax increment financing (TIF) is a mechanism used to finance projects within a designated
urban renewal area. The difference between taxes derived from unimproved and
underdeveloped property and those derived after its development is the "increment" of
taxes which may be pledged by a city to retire loans, advances, bonds, and other
indebtedness incurred by a city or the developer in furtherance of the development. The
TIF ordinance makes available to the city all incremental tax revenues for repayment of
project related expenses. The incremental tax revenues include those levied by or for
other taxing jurisdictions, such as the county, school district, and community college.
Chapter 403.19 of the Code of Iowa sets forth the provisions of tax increment financing.
To establish a TIF program, a city must first prepare an urban renewal plan for a specific
urban renewal area. A city may designate an urban renewal area as either a "blighted",
"slum", or "economic development" area, each of which is defined in Chapter 403;. In this
instance, the urban renewal area is designated as an economic development area, which is
defined as "an area of a municipality designated by the local governing body as appropriate
for commercial and industrial enterprises."
The urban renewal area consists of the Scott-Six Industrial Park. The City's stated
objectives for the urban renewal area are included in the urban renewal plan. The urban
renewal plan also describes how the City intends to use the tax increment revenues. Tax
increment revenues for this project may be used to pay for public infrastructure
improvements and to provide direct grants, loans or rebates for those qualifying businesses
engaged in light manufacturing or wholesale trade and warehouse establishments allowed
in the Intensive Commercial Zone and the industrial uses allowed in the General Industrial
(I-1) Zone. The plan states that City Council shall determine qualifying business based
upon the financial assistance guidelines outlined in Addendum A of the "Economic
Development Policies, Strategies, and Actions for the City of Iowa City".
Prior to the City Council's public hearing on the urban renewal plan, the Planning and
Zoning Commission must provide its recommendation regarding the conformity of the urban
renewal plan with the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan - 1989 Update. In addition, a
consultation must be held with the county, school district, and community college, in order
to provide these taxing entities with an opportunity to comment on the use of the
incremental tax revenues.
After the public hearing and concurrently, the City Council will consider adoption of the
urban renewal plan, the TIF ordinance, and a developer's agreement. The TIF ordinance
establishes the mechanics of separating the incremental tax revenues from the base tax
revenues. The developer's agreement will outline more completely the City's obligations
and the developer's obligations regarding development within the urban renewal area.
We will be present at your informal meeting on April 7, 1997, to discussion any questions
you may have.

Introduction
The Iowa City Comprehensive Plan - 1989 Update states as economic development
goals the need to (1) diversify and increase the property tax base by encouraging the
retention and expansion of existing industry, (2) increase employment opportunities
consistent with the available labor force, (3) provide and protect areas suitable for
future industrial and commercial development, and (4) provide for the extension of
infrastructure which will induce development in areas designated for industrial and
commercial growth. The Comprehensive Plan states that the City of Iowa City, referred
to hereafter as the' City, may provide financial incentives to encourage development
that will help the City achieve these goals.
The City and the region have found it difficult to foster the economic well-being of the
community through industrial development due to the high price of land. The City has
concluded it is in the interest of its citizens to encourage the development of an
industrial park in order to provide industrial land at a price affordable to industrial
development. To assist with ensuring that the price of land is affordable, the City
intends to make available the use of tax increment financing as a means to finance the
construction of some of the necessary infrastructure improvements within the Scott-Six
Urban Renewal Plan Area, referred to hereafter in this Plan as the Urban Renewal
Project Area. In addition, the City will make available the use of tax increment
financing to provide direct grants, loans, or rebates for qualifying businesses planning
to locate in the Urban Renewal Project Area.
To achieve the primary objectives of this Plan, the City of Iowa City shall undertake the
urban renewal actions as specified in this Urban Renewal Plan, pursuant to the powers
granted to it under Chapter 403 of the 1997 Code of Iowa, as amended.
Urban Renewal Plan Objectives
The overall goal of the Scott-Six Urban Renewal Plan is to formulate and execute a
workable program using public and private resdurces to develop the Urban Renewal
Project Area for industrial development. The following objectives have been
established for the proposed Urban Renewal Project Area:
To encourage and support development that will expand the taxable values of
property within the Urban Renewal Project Area.
To encourage the development of start-up firms, the expansion of existing
businesses, and the attraction of new industries.
To provide for the orderly physical and economic growth of the city.
To enhance the availability of sites to accommodate the construction of new
industrial buildings;
To assist with the provision of infrastructure to enable competitive land prices and
lease rates;
To make public improvements as deemed necessary by the City to support new
industrial development;
To provide financial incentives and assistance to qualifying businesses.
Description of Urban Renewal Area
The legal description of this proposed Urban Renewal Project Area is included in the
Plan as Addendum No. 1 - Legal Description.
The location and general boundaries of the Scott-Six Urban Renewal Plan Area are
shown on Addendum No. 2 - Location Map: Scott-Six Urban Renewal Project Area.
This area is approximately t40 acres.
Proposed Urban Renewal Actions
Proposed urban renewal actions will consist of private site improvements, public
infrastructure improvements, and financial incentives to encourage industrial
development.
Private Site Improvements
Site improvements may include, but are not limited to, design and construction of
buildings, grading for building construction and amenities; adequate paving and
parking; adequate landscaping; and on-site utilities.
Public Infrastructure Improvements
Public infrastructure improvements may include, but are not limited to, stormwater
management facilities, public streets and sidewalks, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and
open space improvements. Public infrastructure improvements may include
improvements to that portion of 420th Street to the south and east of the Urban
Renewal Area, which need for said improvements would be created by development
projects within the Urban Renewal Area. Tax increment financing shall be available to
finance the construction of these improvements, in whole or in part, at the City
Council's discretion.
Financial Incentives
Tax increment financing shall be available for providing direct grants, loans, or rebates
for those qualifying businesses engaged in light manufacturing or wholesale trade and
warehouse establishments allowed in the Intensive Commercial (CI-1) Zone, and the
industrial uses allowed in the General Industrial (I-1) Zone. Qualifying businesses shall
4
be determined by the City Council. The Council's determination shall be based upon
the financial assistance guidelines outlined in Addendum A of the "Economic
Development Policies, Strategies, and Actions for the City of Iowa City".

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, W-Four Partners, is requesting preliminary plat approval of Williams Woods
Subdivision, a 23 acre, four-lot residential subdivision located on the north side of Highway 1
West, approximately one mile west of Sharon Center Road. This property was rezoned to
RS-5, Suburban Residential, last fall as a result of policies contained in the new Fringe Area
Agreement. The Agreement allows residential development at five acres per lot, provided
that at least 80 percent of the property is set aside for open space or agriculture. The
County permits a minimum of one acre per lot. Because street surfaces cannot be included
as open space, it will typically take slightly more than 5 acres per lot to develop property
within the RS-5 zone in the County. Additional property was included when this property
was rezoned to meet the 80% requirement.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed preliminary plat contains a few deficiencies and discrepancies that must be
addressed before the Commission can make its recommendation. Public Works identified a
number of deficiencies but has not yet had an opportunity to review the revised plat to
determine whether these items have been corrected.
Subdivision Design Issues: The proposed preliminary plat includes four building lots and three
outlots. Each of the four building lots are one acre in size, and are to be accessed by a
private road to be named Phebe Lane. Outlots A and B are located adjacent to each other.
No explanation is provided as to why this area is being split into two outlots. This should be
clarified on the plat. A purpose is required for all outlots.
The Fringe Area Agreement states that City Rural Design Standards apply to developments
within Area C that are outside of the current adopted growth area. Phebe Lane as shown
does meet City Rural Design Standards, which require a 60 foot right of way and a 6 inch
rolled stone base with a chipseal surface.
The plat should contain a note prohibiting direct vehicular access to Lot 4 from Highway 1.
All vehicular access should come from Phebe Lane.
Required Open Space: The Fringe Area Agreement requires that for RS-5 developments in
this area, 80% of the property be set aside as open space to encourage cluster developments
rather than sprawling, land-consumptive developments. The plat indicates that 80% of the
property is being set aside as open space, as required in the Fringe Area Agreement for
developments at RS-5 densities.
Grading Plan: Because a "blueqine" drainageway is located on the property, a grading plan is
required. The grading plan must be approved prior to Council consideration of the plat. A
grading plan has been submitted and is under review.
Stormwater Management: Stormwater management has not
proposed plat. Because the property is located within the Old
stormwater management is not required.
been addressed on the
Man's Creel( watershed,
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB97-0004, a request f, or preliminary plat approval of Williams
Woods Subdivision, a 23 acre, four-lot residential subdivision located on the north side of
Highway 1 West, approximately one mile west of Sharon Center Road, be deferred, pending
the resolution of the deficiencies and discrepancies listed below. Upon resolution of these
items, staff recommends approval, subject to the approval of a Grading Plan prior to Council
consideration of the preliminary plat.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. The purpose of all outlots must be shown on the plat.
2. Street grades are needed on Phebe Lane.
3. The plat should contain a note prohibiting direct vehicular access from Lot 4 to
Highway 1.
4. Public Works' review of the revised plat is needed.

RE: Payroll Deductions for Charitable Contributions
At a recent meeting Council discussed the issue of payroll deductions for charitable
contributions. As Council considers this issue the following information may be of use.
The city currently provides automatic payroll deductions for United Way. At this time
38 employees (7% of permanent employees) participate in this program. The deduction
is made once a month froin the second paycheck of the month.
I spoke with a staff person in the University o£ Iowa payroll office and who indicated they
were unfamiliar with the Iowa Shares program.
