This notice is given by order of the City by Section 403.5 of the City Code of Iowa. of Iowa City, Iowa, as provided Dated this day of ,1997. Clerk, Iowa Iowa of Notice) -11- City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: To: From: April 3, 1997 City Council Karin Franklin, Director, Planning and Community Devil David Sohoon, Economic Development Coordinatd~-'; 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.

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". Conformance with Land Use Policy and Zoning Ordinance Comprehensive Plan The Land Use Map contained in the Comprehensive Plan illustrates the Urban Renewal Project Area for industrial development which is consistent with this Urban Renewal Plan.

Current and Proposed Land Uses The Project Area is presently used for agricultural purposes. The proposed land uses include commercial and industrial purposes which are consistent with the current zoning. Relocation of Families The Urban Renewal Area contains one single-family structure located in the northwest corner of the Area. The structure is presently rented as a residence on a month to month basis. When the northwest corner is ready for commercial/industrial development, the property owner shall give the tenant thirty days notice to move out of the premises. Given this arrangement, the tenant assumes the responsibility of relocating to a new residence.

Williams Woods Subdivision Preliminary Plat GENERAL INFORMATION: Applicant: Contact person: Requested action: Purpose: Location: Size: Existing land use and zoning: Surrounding land use and zoning: Comprehensive Plan: Applicable Code requirements: File date: Prepared by: Scott Kugler Date: March 20, 1997 W-Four Partners C/O Ed Williams 2968 Black Diamond Road Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Phone: (319)683-2652 MMS Consultants 1917 S.

The Fringe Area Agreement calls for continued agricultural uses in Fringe Area C, but allows residential development at RS-10 or RS-5 densities if clustering takes place. Chapter 14-7, Land Subdivisions February 27, 1997 2 45-da¥ limitation period: April 13, 1997 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. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Location Map. 2. Preliminary Plat.

Mejia, Personnel Administrato~xJ RE: Payroll Deductions for Charitable Contributions At a recent meeting Council discussed the issue of payroll deductions for charitable contributions.
