From: David Schoon, Economic Development Coordina
Re: Changes to Amended Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan
Attached are two changes to the amended Near Southside Commercial Urban
Revitalization Plan. The first change is at the request of the City Council regarding the
time frame for the urban ,revitalization plan. As changed in the plan, the area will be
designated as an urban revitalization area until December 31, 2009, approximately 10
years.
The second change was an oversight be staff when the Urban Revitalization Plan was
originally drafted in 1994. The structure located at 331 S. Gilbert Street had been
identified through a survey as being potentially eligible for the National Register based on
both architectural and historical significance. This structure was inadvertently not included
in the original plan. The amended plan now includes this structure.
All rehabilitation to historic or architecturally significant structures shall be done in such a
manner as to preserve or restore any historic structure to productive use in order to be
eligible. The guidelines for determining if rehabilitation does preserve or restore the structure
shall be those set forth in the 1990 revised edition of the Secretary of Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings. All additions to historically
or architecturally significant structures shall be developed in such a manner as to be
architecturally compatible with existing development. Plans and specifications for proposed
exterior renovation must be submitted to the Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission for
review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit in order for the improvements to
qualify for property tax exemption.
All rehabilitation, additions, and new construction must meet the applicable design criteria
outlined in the CB-5 Zone of the City Zoning Ordinance. These design criteria are adminis-
tered by the Director of Planning and Community Development. In addition, plans and
specifications for the exteriors of new construction must be submitted to the Iowa City
Design Review Committee for review and recommendation. The Design Review Committee
recommendation will be submitted to the Iowa City City Council for review and approval. The
City Council must approve the exterior design for all new construction prior to issuance of a
building permit in order for the improvements to qualify for property tax exemption.
Time Frame
The Commercial Area shall remain a designated revitalization area until December 31. 2009
for ton years from the date of designation. (Amended , 1999)
Revenue Bonds
The City has no plans to issue revenue bonds for revitalization projects within the Commercial
Area.
QUALIFICATIONS FOR ELIGIBILITY
Qualified property improvements include rehabilitation and additions to existing historic and
architecturally significant structuroc, and also includes ncw construction for property
assos~d as commercial property doffnod above as qualified real ostatc, soc "Applicability of
the Plan, Land Usoc and Types of Construction Eligible." Qualified property improvements do
not include now construction that roplaooc ctructurcs identified heroin as historic and/or

and historic significance) (Amended , 1999).
The adopted Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan promotes the use of local economic
incentives, including property tax exemption, to preserve or restore buildings such as these.
Though the NSS Plan does not specifically mention the use of property tax exemption, the
NSS Plan discusses the use of various financing mechanisms to assist with encouraging the
redevelopment of the area north of Court Street within the Commercial Area. The City
Council finds property tax exemption an appropriate financing mechanism to encourage
redevelopment of this Commercial Area, and further finds the properties in conformance with
the goals set out in the NSS Plan.
COMMERCIAL URBAN REVITALIZATION PLAN OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives of this Commercial Revitalization Plan are to encourage the
development of the Commercial Area for commercial uses other than commercial residential
uses, and to encourage the reuse of historic and architecturally significant structures in the
Commercial Area. Given the close proximity to the downtown to the north and a high
density residential area to the south, the Commercial Area provides an ideal location for a
mixed-use high density commercial and residential area. In addition, the community's other
residential areas can easily access the Commercial Area due to its close proximity to the
transit hub of the community.
Though the zoning ordinance permits commercial residential uses within the Commercial
Area, the City Council has determined that encouragement of "commercial residential
development" is not needed in the Commercial Area. The Council further finds that the
market, itself, drives the attractiveness of this area for high density residential uses. The
Council further finds that the use of financial incentives, such as property tax exemption, is
necessary to encourage the development of high donsity non-residential commercial uses in a
compact manner in the Commercial Area, which is in the center of the community, rather
than disperse this type of development on the periphery of the community. (Amended
, 1999)
Consequently, the primary objectives of this Commercial Revitalization Plan are to encourage
the redevelopment of the Commercial Area for commercial uses other than commercial
residential uses, and to encourage the reuse of historic and architecturally significant
structures in the Commercial Area. To achieve these objectives, the City of Iowa City shall
undertake the urban revitalization activities as specified in this Commercial Revitalization Plan,
pursuant to the powers granted to the City under Chapter 404, Code of Iowa (1993).

Proposed Amended Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan
On the Council's September 14, 1999, agenda is a resolution setting a public hearing for
September 28, 1999, on an amended Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan
(NSS Commercial Plan). At the request of the Mayor, City staff has prepared amendments
to the NSS Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan to address what are perceived to be
inconsistencies between it and the proposed Central Business District Urban Revitalization
Plan (CBD Plan).
Currently under the NSS Commercial Plan, the Plan is
"applicable to all qualified real estate assessed as commercial property containing
no residential uses and to qualified real estate assessed as commercial property in
which no more than twenty (20%) percent of the above-grade portion of the
structure is used for residential uses. In addition, the structure must contain at
least three (3) stories of the non-residential commercial uses, and only the non-
residential portion of a structure assessed as commercial property shall qualify for
property tax exemption. However, any reuse of a historic structure assessed as
residential or commercial property shall be considered qualified real estate."
Under the proposed CBD Plan there is no twenty-percent maximum residential use
requirement or three stories minimum non-residential commercial use requirement. Given
that the NSS Commercial Urban Revitalization Area (NSS Commercial Area) is considered
an extension of the downtown core commercial area, it would seem appropriate to make
available the same property tax exemption opportunities in both areas.
Amended Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan
The copy of the attached proposed amended NSS Commercial Plan contains changes to
make the availability of property tax exemption consistent with the CBD Plan (Deletions are
noted by "strikethrough" marks and additions are noted by double underlined marks). The
most significant changes occur in the "Applicability of the Plan" and "Qualifications for
Eligibility" sections of the plan. Under the proposed amended NSS Commercial Plan,
projects within the revitalization area must meet all of the following criteria to qualify for
property tax exemption:
Qualified real estate includes real estate assessed as commercial property. Only the
non-residential commercial component of a commercial property would qualify for
property tax exemption. However, any reuse of a historic structure assessed as
residential (owner-occupied housing - condominium units for example), residential
commercial (rental housing), or non-residential commercial property shall be considered
qualified real estate.
Eligible construction includes rehabilitations, additions, and new construction.
However, new construction that requires the demolition of structures identified in this
NSS Commercial Plan as historic and/or architecturally significant is not eligible for
property tax exemption.
· The design of any qualifying project must be reviewed by either the staff design review
committee and City Council or by the Historic Preservation Commission.
In order to be considered eligible, all improvements must increase the actual value of
the property as of the first year for which an exemption is received by at least fifteen
percent (15%) in the case of real property assessed as commercial property and by at
least ten (10%) in the case of real property assessed as residential property.
Attachment 1 to this memo lists a proposed time schedule for the steps necessary to
amend the NSS Commercial Plan. Once the amended plan has been adopted, a developer
within the proposed urban revitalization area is able to apply to the City Council for
property tax exemption for the added value of improvements to the site. Once the City
Council grants the exemption, the application is sent to the City Assessor to determine if
the added value of improvements meets all of the requirements.
Availability of Property Tax Exemption for Proposed Projects Within the Near Southside
Commercial Urban Revitalization Area
Under the proposed amended NSS Commercial Plan, new construction projects consisting
of a non-residential commercial component would qualify for property tax exemption. For
example, the one-story, non-residential commercial component of the proposed project on
the corner of Linn and Court streets would qualify for property tax exemption while the
residential commercial component of that same project would not. Other similar new
construction projects in the NSS Commercial Urban Revitalization Area would qualify for
the property tax exemption.
We will both be at your September 14 work session to answer any questions you may
have on the proposed amended Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan.

SECTION 1:
SELECTION CRITERIA FOR THE NEAR SOUTHSIDE
COMMERCIAL URBAN REVITALIZATION AREA
CODE OF IOWA CRITERIA
Under the Urban Revitalization A~.t of the State of Iowa, the City is granted the authority to
designate portions of the City which meet the specified criteria as revitalization areas.
Accordingly, on September 13, 1994 the Iowa City City Council adopted a resolution finding
that the proposed Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization Area meets the criteria of
Section 404.1 (4) of the Code of Iowa (1993), namely that the rehabilitation, conservation,
redevelopment, economic development or a combination thereof is necessary in the interests
of the public health, safety and welfare of the residents of the City.
Section 404.1 (4), Code of Iowa (hereafter "Code,") specifically states that the City may
designate an area of the City a revitalization area if that area is "an area which is appropriate
as an economic development area as defined in section 403.17." Section 403.17, Code
defines an economic development area as "an area of a municipality designated by the local
governing body as appropriate for commercial and industrial enterprises or housing and
residential development for low and moderate income families, including single or multifamily
housing." Moreover, Chapter 404, Code further provides that the City Council may draft an
urban revitalization plan to carry out the goals of economic development.
CITY OF IOWA CITY POLICY CRITERIA
In March of 1992, the Iowa City City Council adopted the Near Southside Neighborhood
Redevelopment Plan ("NSS Plan") which outlines City policy regarding the redevelopment of
the area generally south of Burlington Street, west of Gilbert Street, east of Madison Street,
and north of the Iowa Interstate Railway main line. It is the Council's intent herein that
development within the Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization Area shall be
consistent with the policies outlined in the NSS Plan, and also consistent with the plan herein
described, see Addendum C1 for a map of the Commercial Urban Revitalization Area.
The NSS Plan "targets the blocks between Burlington & Court streets for office and
commercial development to complement the downtown retail core" and "the periphery of this
area, along Gilbert Street south to the railroad tracks, includes commercial development that
reflects existing uses and also projects redevelopment for commercial uses focused on the
needs of the future residential neighborhood." More specifically, the NSS Plan states that in
the portion of the overall area referred to as the 'commercial area,' a portion of "the
commercial development is typically in one or two-story older buildings, at an intensity of use
which is less then optimal for an area so close to downtown." Based on a thorough review
of property in the area, the NSS Plan designates nearly half of the 'commercial area' in the
NSS Plan area as potential commercial redevelopment sites within the next ten years. Three
of the sites, namely the Hieronymus tract on Block 102, Southtown Properties' land on Block
103 (which has already redeveloped), and the Cahill property on Outlot 24 are the only single
ownership sites in the Commercial Area which are large enough to permit development of any
size and significance. Based on the City Council's intent, the properties set out in Addendure
C1 are hereby designated as appropriate commercial uses for urban revitalization purposes,
and are hereby declared to be included in the Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization
Area (hereafter "Commercial Area"), and said properties are further declared to be within this
Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan (hereafter "Commercial Revitalization
Near Southside Commercial
Urban Revitalizatlan Plan - Amended 1999
Plan").
The NSS Plan also identifies five historic structures in the Commercial Area which are on or
may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places:
228 E. Court St.
335 S. Clinton St.
330 E. Court St.

The adopted Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan promotes the use of local economic
incentives, including property tax exemption, to preserve or restore buildings such as these.
Though the NSS Plan does not specifically mention the use of property tax exemption, the
NSS Plan discusses the use of various financing mechanisms to assist with encouraging the
redevelopment of the area north of Court Street within the Commercial Area. The City
Council finds property tax exemption an appropriate financing mechanism to encourage
redevelopment of this Commercial Area, and further finds the properties in conformance with
the goals set out in the NSS Plan.
COMMERCIAL URBAN REVITALIZATION PLAN OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives of this Commercial Revitalization Plan are to encourage the
development of the Commercial Area for commercial uses other than commercial residential
uses, and to encourage the reuse of historic and architecturally significant structures in the
Commercial Area. Given the close proximity to the downtown to the north and a high
density residential area to the south, the Commercial Area provides an ideal location for a
mixed-use high density commercial and residential area. In addition, the community's other
residential areas can easily access the Commercial Area due to its close proximity to the
transit hub of the community.
Though the zoning ordinance permits commercial residential uses within the Commercial
Area, the City Council has determined that encouragement of "commercial residential
development" is not needed in the Commercial Area. The Council further finds that the
market, itself, drives the attractiveness of this area for high density residential uses. The
Council further finds that the use of financial incentives, such as property tax exemption, is
necessary to encourage the development of high dcnsity non-residential commercial uses in a
compact manner in the Commercial Area, which is in the center of the community, rather
than disperse this type of development on the periphery of the community. (Amended

structures in the Commercial Area. To achieve these objectives, the City of Iowa City shall

PROPOSALS FOR IMPROVING OR EXPANDING CITY SERVICES
The City Council has evaluated whether a need exists for improving or expanding city
services within the Commercial Area including, but not limited to, transportation facilities,
sanitary sewer, solid waste collection, street maintenance, park facilities, and police and fire
protection. To this end, the City Council hereby concludes that streetscape improvements in
the Commercial Area would enhance redevelopment in said Commercial Area. The City
Council further concludes that redevelopment of the Commercial Area will generate the need
for a City-owned parking facility either within the Commercial Area or in close proximity. la
