Urban Renewal Plan
Gateway Economic Development Urban Renewal Area
City of Waukee,Iowa
A.INTRODUCTION
This Gateway Economic Development Urban Renewal Plan ("Plan"or "Urban
Renewal Plan")has been developed to help local officials promote economic
development in the City of Waukee.The primary goal of the Plan is to stimulate,
through public involvement and commitment,private investment in new
commercial and light industrial development.
In order to achieve this objective,Waukee (the "City")intends to undertake Urban
Renewal activities pursuant to the powers granted to it under Chapter 403 and
Chapter 15A of the Code oflowa,as amended.
B.DESCRIPTION OF THE URBAN RENEWAL AREA
The Gateway Economic Development Urban Renewal Area ("Area"or "Urban
Renewal Area")is described in Exhibit A and illustrated in Exhibit B.
The City reserves the right to modify the boundaries of the Area at some future
date.
Co DISTRICT DESIGNATION
With the adoption of this Plan,the City of Waukee will designate this Gateway
Economic Development Urban Renewal Area as an economic development district
that is appropriate for the promotion of new commercial and light industrial
development.
D.HISTORY AND PURPOSE
The City's first Urban Renewal Area was established in 1988.Over the years,as
the City continued to grow and commercial development opportunities became
available,the City created and amended several new urban renewal areas.In 2004,
the City linked the various urban renewal areas that had been created in previous
years.
In 20J J,the City of Waukee approved a Unified Urban Renewal Plan and
Amendment No.1.The 2011 Unified PJan continued the City's objective to
consoJidate and link the urban renewal areas in order to maximize the future

expenditures of incremental property tax revenues necessary to promote economic
development.Amendment Nos.2 and 3 followed.
The City of Waukee is now in the final stages of receiving approval for a new
interchange offInterstate 80.Work on the connecting corridor (Alice's Road)to
the new interchange is anticipated to begin in the fall of 20 13 with the interchange
work beginning in the summer of2014.
When the interchange and connecting corridor are completed,it will open up over
1,000 acres of available land for development.Through planning studies that have
been completed,it is estimated that,over time,this new development area can
support up to 7,000 additional residential units and 8.8 million square feet of
commercial and office development.This development potential equates to an
additional 15,000 residents and between 20,000 and 25,000 new jobs.
A new Urban Renewal Area,which the City has designated as the Gateway
Economic Development Area,is being established to include all of the existing
undeveloped property within the proposed corridor as well as the existing right-of-
way for those corridor improvements which will be completed over the next
several years.
The majority of the area to be included in the new Gateway development corridor
is now a part of the Unified Urban Renewal Area but has remained undeveloped
due to lack of public infrastructure.Simultaneously with the adoption of the
Gateway Economic Development Area,the City is also amending its Unified
Urban Renewal Area,described above,to reflect changes in that Area's uses and
development opportunities.
With the construction of the new interchange,Waukee will be provided with a
direct access to Interstate 80.This new interstate connection will provide new and
unique opportunities to the community,including:
•Development potential for highway service businesses which primarily rely
on the traveler as a market.
•Attractive access for companies in need of the interstate corridor such as
those that are transportation based,market oriented,or distribution related.
•Convenient traffic access which translates into reduced travel time for
commuters.
•Large lot tracts of developable land appropriate for companies in need
of minimal congestion,convenience to suburban workforce,and new
appropriately-sized infrastructure.
•Potential to recruit big box retailers who draw from a more regional
customer base and who rely on the ease of access made available by
locating near the Interstate.
Final 9/12/13

In order to accommodate this new development,it is estimated that various
infrastructure and development projects will cost in the range of $45 -$50 million
and will be completed over the next several years.In addition to incremental
taxes,the City intends to apply for available federal and state dollars as a funding
resource.
As the City begins to invest millions of dollars in infrastructure to support this new
corridor,City officials believe it is necessary to remove from the Unified Urban
Renewal Area those parcels which are undeveloped to date and to re-establish
those areas as a new and separate Urban Renewal Area.
Creating this new Area will allow the City to plan for,execute and pay for the
costs of the necessary public infrastructure to service new development and will
allow the City the ability to maximize future expenditures of incremental property
tax revenues to promote economic development within the new connecting
corridor.
E.BASE VALUE
If the Gateway Economic Development Urban Renewal Area is legally established
and debt is certified prior to December 1,2013,the taxable valuation within the
district as of January 1,2012,will be considered the "base valuation."If debt is
not certified until a later date,the "base value"will be the assessed value of the
taxable property in the Urban Renewal Area as of January 1 of the calendar year
preceding the calendar year in which the City first certifies the amount of any debt.
It is anticipated that a number of TIP ordinances will be adopted for various
parcels within the Urban Renewal Area,corresponding to the completion of new
development projects.
F.DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Waukee has a general plan for development outlined in the Waukee
Comprehensive Land Use Plan,adopted in 2008.This Urban Renewal Plan is

A.Tax Increment Financing.
Under Section 403.19 of the Iowa Code,urban renewal areas may
utilize the tax increment financing mechanism to finance the costs of
public improvements associated with redevelopment projects.Upon
creation of a tax increment district within the Area,by ordinance,the
assessment base is frozen and the amount of tax revenue available
from taxes paid on the difference between the frozen base and the
increased value,if any,is segregated into a separate fund for the use
by the City to pay costs of the proposed urban renewal projects.The
increased taxes generated by any new development,above the base
value,are distributed to the taxing entities,if not requested by the
City and in any event upon the expiration of the tax increment
district.
B.General Obligation Bonds.
Under Sections 384.23 to 384.36 and/or 403.12 of the Iowa Code,
the City has the authority to issue and sell general obligation bonds
for specified essential and general corporate purposes,including the
acquisition and construction of certain public improvements within
the Area.Such bonds are payable from the levy of unlimited ad
valorem taxes on all the taxable property within the City of Waukee.
It may be the City will elect to abate some or all of the debt service
on these bonds with incremental taxes from this Area.
The City may also determine to use tax increment financing to provide incentives
such as cash grants,loans,tax rebates or other incentives to developers in
connection with the urban renewal projects identified in this Plan related to
commercial or light industrial development.In addition,the City may determine to
issue general obligation bonds,tax increment revenue bonds or such other
obligations,or loan agreements for the purpose of making loans or grants of public
funds to private businesses located in the Area.Alternatively,the City may
determine to use available funds for making such loans or grants or other
incentives related to urban renewal projects.
Nothing herein shall be construed as a limitation on the power of the City to
exercise any lawful power granted to the City under Chapter 15,Chapter l5A,
Chapter 403,Chapter 427B,or any other provision of the Code of Iowa in
furtherance of the objectives of this Urban Renewal Plan.

businesses as part of the Proposed Urban Renewal Projects;however,if any
relocation is necessary,the City will follow all applicable relocation requirements.
O.STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS
All provisions necessary to conform to state and local laws will be complied with
by the City and the developer in implementing this Urban Renewal Plan and its
supporting documents.
P.SEVERABILITY
In the event one or more provisions contained in the Urban Renewal Plan,as
amended,shall be held for any reason to be invalid,illegal,unauthorized or
unenforceable in any respect,such invalidity,illegality,unauthorization or
enforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Urban Renewal Plan,and
this Urban Renewal Plan shall be construed and implemented as if such provisions
had never been contained herein.
Q.URBAN RENEWAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
This Urban Renewal Area Plan may be amended from time to time for a number of
reasons,including but not limited to,change in the Area,to add or change land use
controls and regulations,to modify goals or types of renewal activities,or to
amend property acquisition and disposition provisions.The City Council may
amend this Plan pursuant to appropriate procedures under Iowa Code Chapter 403.
R.EFFECTIVE PERIOD

Council and will remain in effect as a Plan until it is repealed by the CilY Council.
During the life of this Plan,the City Council may designate all or any portion of
the property covered by this Plan as a "tax increment area."With respect to any
property covered by this Plan which is included in an ordinance which designates
that property as a tax increment area,the use of incremental property tax revenues,
or the "division of revenue,"as those words are used in Chapter 403 of the Code of
