The goals ou~ined in the Comprehensive Plan are: · Diversify and increase the property tax base by (1) encouraging the retention and expansion of existing industry and (2) attracting industries that have growth potential and are compatible with existing businesses; · Increase employment opportunities consistent with the available labor force; · Provide and protect .areas suitable for future industrial and commercial development; · Cooperate with local and regional organizations to promote economic development within Iowa City; · Improve the environmental and economic health of the community through the efficient use of resources; and · Consider financial incentives and programs to facilitate achieving the above goals. In order to make development sites attractive to new and expanding firms, communities are more and more called upon to provide financial' incentives and programs t6 make a development site and the area attractive to potential businesses. Other development sites in the area, which already cater to office, research, production, and assembly uses, make tax increment financing available to qualifying businesses that are looking at those development sites. The City has concluded it is in the interest of its citizens to encourage the development of an office and research development park in order to provide a competitive development site for office, research, production and/or assembly uses. To assist with ensuring that this type of development site is competitive, the City intends to make available the use of tax increment financing as a means to finance the construction of some of the necessary private and/or public infrastructure improvements within the Northgate Corporate Park 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. ecodevlnguforev.doc 3 Urban Renewal Plan Objectives The overall goal of the Northgate Corporate Park Urban Renewal Plan is to formulate and execute a workable program using public and private resources to develop the Urban Renewal Project Area for office, research, production and/or assembly uses. 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 office, research, production and/or assembly 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 office, research, production and/or assembly 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 Northgate Corporate Park Urban Renewal Plan Area are shown on Addendum No. 2 - Location Map: Northgate Corporate Park Urban Renewal Project Area. This area is approximately 47.68 acres. Proposed Urban Renewal Actions Proposed urban renewal actions will consist of private site improvements, public infrastructure improvements, and financial incentives to encourage office, research, production and/or assembly uses 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. Tax increment financing may be used by qualifying businesses to finance these private site improvements. Qualifying ecodev/ngur'orev.doc 4 businesses must meet the requirements of the Financial Incentives section in order to use tax increment financing for private site improvements. 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. Tax increment financing may be available to finance the construction of these improvements, in whole or in part, at the City Council's discretion. Financial Incentives At the City Council's discretion, tax increment financing may be available for providing direct grants, loans, or rebates for those qualifying businesses engaged in office, research, production and/or assembly activities allowed in either the Office Commercial (CO-l) Zone or the Research Development Park (RDP) Zone. The funds from the direct grants, loans, or rebates may be used for, but are not limited to, financing the private site improvements listed above. Qualifying businesses shall 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 Urban Renewal Project Area is part of the area at the 1-80 interchange with Highway 1. The Iowa City Comprehensive Plan states that this area... .provides one of the few opportunities for office research park development in Iowa City. National Computer Systems (within the North Corridor Planning District) and American College Testing (south of 1-80 in the North Corridor Planning District) are successful examples of this type of development. With the tone set by these two companies and the advantages of interstate exposure, land around this interchange should continue to be preserved for office research park and research development park opportunities. The designation of the Urban Renewal Project Area for office, research, production and/or assembly uses is consistent with the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan. ecoclevlngurbrev.doc 5 Current ZoninB The Project Area's present zoning designation of CO-l, Office Commercial Zone, and RDP, Research Development Park Zone, is consistent with this Urban Renewal Plan. Current and Proposed Land Uses Approximately 9.15 acres of the Project Area are presently used for office, research, production, and/or assembly purposes, while approximately 38.53 acres are vacant. The proposed land uses include office, research, production, and/or assembly purposes, which are consistent with the current zoning. Relocation of Families Given that the Urban Renewal Area does not contain within its boundaries any residential housing units, there is no need to relocate any families. ecodev/ngurorev.doc 6 Current Debt and Proposed Indebtedness List of Current General Obligation Debt General Obligation Debt by Issue 6-30-98 Issue Original Final Principal Date Amount Interest Rates Maturity Outstanding Notes 1989 2,960,000 5.9%-6.1% 6/00 600,000 (~) 1990 2,300,000 5.7%-6.2% 6/01 675,000 (2) 1991 2,340,000 5.4%-5.6% 6/02 900,000 (3) 1992 4,870,000 4.45%-5.50% 6/02 1,775,000 (4) 1992 3,450,000 4.75%-5.20% 6/07 2,345,000 (s) 1994 7,370,000 4.6%-4.7% 6/04 4,375,000 (6) 1995 8,500,000 4.8%-5.125% 6/07 6,370,000 (7) 1996 6,100,000 3.6%-5.5% 6/15 5,725,000 (8) 1996 295,000 4.2%-5.0% 6/01 195,000 1997 5,200,000 4.5%-4.7% 6/07 4,675,000 1997 5,540,000 4.875%-5.0% 6/17 5,540,000 (9) 1998 8,500,000 4.35%-4.75% 6/13 8,500,000 Total $41,675,000 (1) 41% abated by sewer revenues.

No county, or other political or municipal corporation shall be allowed to become indebted in any manner, or for any purpose, to an amount, in the aggregate, exceeding five per centurn on the value of taxable property within such county or corporation-to be ascertained by the last State and County tax lists, previous to the incurring of such indebtedness., Debt Limit Computation Total Assessed Actual Valuation Legal Debt Limit of 5% of 1998 Assessed Actual Value Debt Chargeable Against Limit Legal Debt Limit Available $2,371,395,259 $118,569,763 $41,675,000 $76,894,793 Proposed Amount of Indebtedness: Through the actions of this urban renewal plan, the City of Iowa City proposes to potentially incur indebtedness for public infrastructure improvements, private site improvements, and financial incentives to qualifying businesses. Given the uncertainty of the needs of future business development projects within the Urban Renewal Area, the proposed amount of indebtedness is difficult to determine at this time. Given recent development projects requesting assistance in some form of property tax assistance and assuming all future projects within the Urban Renewal Area would qualify for assistance under the Urban Renewal Plan, the proposed amount of indebtedness to be incurred, including loans, advances, indebtedness, or bonds which qualify could equal as much as $4.5 million over the 20 year period of the Urban Renewal Plan. ecodevlngurbrev.doc 8 Other Provisions Necessary to Meet State and Local Requirements Chapter 403 of the 1997 Code of Iowa, as amended, authorizes cities to exercise urban renewal powers and certain other powers for the development of economic development areas.
