MEMORANDUM
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Wendy Ford, Economic Development Coordinator
Date: August 4, 2013
Re: City- University Project 1 Amendment #12
Introduction
State Code requires an Urban Renewal Plan be amended to include any project for which the
City Council may wish to finance with tax increment or consider entering into a development
agreement as financial partner. In recent months, several potential urban renewal projects in the
City- University Project I Urban Renewal Area have come to light and this amendment would
allow Council to consider financial participation in them.
History /background
The original City- University Project I Urban Renewal Area was established in 1969 and has
been amended eleven times to accomplish various urban renewal projects.
Amendment #12 would allow Council to consider new projects within the existing urban renewal
area. One would allow for the use of the tax increment in the district to help finance the costs of
the Central Business District streetscape improvement project. The streetscape project includes
improvements to public infrastructure that residents and the downtown business community
depend upon and for public streetscape amenities that set Iowa City apart. The other public
infrastructure project includes planning expenses for the new Riverfront Crossings Park.
Developers are also working out the details of several projects that are likely to be presented to
the City Council for consideration of Tax Increment Financing. They include The Chauncey at
the corner of Gilbert and College Streets, the Harrison Street Townhouses at the corner of
Harrison and Dubuque Streets, and a high rise hotel project on S. Clinton Street across from the
new School of Music. While details of each of these projects are still being refined, this
amendment will allow for the discussion of City participation in them. The decision to move
forward with any of the projects would be made in the future and require Council approval of
development agreements for each.
Discussion of Solution
The following paragraphs document the procedural requirements completed for amending an
Urban Renewal Plan:
a) Resolution of Necessity
A Resolution of Necessity to consider Amendment #12 to the City University Urban Renewal
Plan was adopted by City Council ( #14 -211) on July 15, 2014.
b) Consultation with Taxing Entities

in City Hall. Rod Sullivan of the Johnson County Board of Supervisors attended. State law
requires that the taxing entities must submit any written recommendations for modification to the
proposed division of revenue within 7 days after the consultation. There were no submissions.
c) Notice of Public Hearing
On August 5, a Notice of the Public Hearing on August 19 regarding Amendment #12 to the
