EMORANDUM
Date: August 30, 2011
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Wendy Ford, Economic Development Coordinator
Re: Towncrest Urban Renewal Area Tax Increment Financing District Ordinance
Introduction
The Towncrest Urban Renewal Plan was approved by Council December 7, 2010 and lays the
foundation for the area to be designated a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district. The second
step to implementing a district within the Urban Renewal Area is to adopt a TIF ordinance. The
TIF ordinance allows the City Council to approve the use tax increment financing, in accordance
with separate developers agreements, to help meet the objectives of the urban renewal plan.
History /Background
The objectives of the Towncrest Urban Renewal Plan include the following:
• Diversify and increase the property tax base by (1) encouraging the retention and expansion
of existing business and (2) attracting businesses 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 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;
• Consider financial incentives and programs to facilitate achieving the above goals;
• Focus commercial development in defined commercial center, including small scale
neighborhood commercial centers; and
• Foster strong community neighborhoods with a mix of housing, churches, schools recreation
facilities, commercial areas, and historic landmarks.
Discussion of Solution
In order to achieve these goals, the City may desire to embark on urban renewal projects in the
area and /or provide financial assistance in the form of tax increment financing when there is a
public benefit component to a project within the district.
Recommendation /Justification
Staff recommends the adoption of the TIF ordinance allowing the diversion of the increase in
property taxes realized to assist in projects where public benefit will be realized. Public benefit
may include such things as streetscape improvements, partnerships with the private sector in
redevelopment projects, etc. In an area that has seen disinvestment over time combined with
the fact that redevelopment is substantially more expensive in urban areas due to demolition
and site preparation costs, there are significant financial barriers to redevelopment. With a TIF
ordinance, the City has another resource to assist in reversing the declining property value trend
in this important Iowa City neighborhood.
