North Waukee Residential Urban Renewal Plan
for the
North Waukee Residential Urban Renewal Area
City of Waukee, Iowa
A. INTRODUCTION
The North Waukee Residential Urban Renewal Plan ("Plan" or "Urban Renewal Plan") is
being created to help local officials respond to and promote economic development in the
City of Waukee (the "City"). The primary goal of the Plan is to stimulate, through public
involvement and commitment, private investment in new housing and residential
development as defined in Iowa Code Section 403.17(12). The City has determined that
there is a shortage of affordable and appropriate housing and that providing such housing
is important for any or all of the following objectives: retaining existing industrial or
commercial enterprises; attracting and encouraging the location of new industrial or
commercial enterprises; meeting the needs of special elements of the population, such as
the elderly or persons with disabilities; and providing housing for various income levels of
the population which may not be adequately served.
In order to achieve these objectives, the City intends to undertake Urban Renewal activities
pursuant to the powers granted to it under Chapter 403 and Chapter 15A of the Code of
Iowa, as amended.
B. DESCRIPTION OF THE URBAN RENEWAL AREA
The North Waukee Residential Urban Renewal Area ("Area" or "Urban Renewal Area") is
described in Exhibit "A" and illustrated in Exhibit "B." Note: The property was previously
included in the Waukee Consolidated Urban Renewal Area but was never developed as an
urban renewal housing project and was not subject to the division of revenue within the
Waukee Consolidated Urban Renewal Area. The property was removed in 2020.
The City reserves the right to modify the boundaries of the Area at some future date.
C. AREA DESIGNATION
With the adoption of this Plan, the City of Waukee will designate this Urban Renewal Area
as an economic development area that is appropriate for the provision of public
improvements related to housing and residential development and potentially low and
moderate housing.
D. BASE VALUE
Once the North Waukee Residential Urban Renewal Area is legally established, and a TIF
ordinance is adopted, and debt is certified to the County, the taxable valuation within the
area covered by the TIF ordinance as of January 1 of the year before debt is first certified,
will be considered the frozen "base valuation." It may be that more than one TIF ordinance
will be adopted on property within the Area; for example, TIF ordinances may be adopted
FINAL 093020 2
as a lot or lots are developed. If so, the frozen base values may vary by TIF ordinance
areas.
E. DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Waukee has a general plan for the development of the City as a whole outlined in the
Waukee Comprehensive Land Use Plan, adopted in 2019. The goals and objectives and
urban renewal projects identified in this Plan are in in conformity with the 2019
Comprehensive Plan and the land use policy and priorities that were adopted as part of the
planning process. Specific housing objectives identified in the Comprehensive Plan
include, but are not limited to, maintaining a balanced housing supply with housing
available for people at all income levels and unit types that meet the varying life-cycle
needs of Waukee residents; establishing a housing pattern that respects the natural
environment while striving to meet local housing needs and the community’s share of
metropolitan area housing growth; and establishing a community of well-maintained
housing and neighborhoods including ownership and rental housing.
This Urban Renewal Plan does not change or in any way replace the City's current land use
planning or zoning regulation process. Currently, the Area contains land, which is zoned
R-3 Rental Multi-Family Residential District, R-4 Row House and Townhome Dwelling
District and C-1 Community and Highway Service Commercial District.
The need for improved traffic, public transportation, public utilities, recreational and
community facilities, or other public improvements within the Urban Renewal Area is set
forth in this Plan. As the Area develops, the need for public infrastructure extensions and
upgrades will be evaluated and planned for by the City.
F. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
One of the City's objectives for the North Waukee Residential Urban Renewal Area is to
promote new multi-family residential development. The City realizes that the availability
of housing is an important component of attracting new business and industry, responding
to new development, and retaining existing businesses.
In anticipation of employment trends and demographic projections, the City has taken the
position of providing support to increase the availability of certain market rate rental
housing opportunities in the community. After review, the City has concluded that the
City's central location, strong demographics, and the potential for major employers to
continue with steady job opportunities has resulted in verified demand for more market
rate rental housing in Waukee.
In summary, the plans presented for the North Waukee residential development areas will
include a total of 709 new multi-family residential units and townhome units with a number
of amenities including attached garages, recreational facilities for the development’s
residents, further expansion of the City’s parks system and integrated pedestrian
recreational trails. New growth anticipated within the North Waukee Residential area as
FINAL 093020 3
well as other surrounding areas and completion and opening of Northwest High School
will create the need and demand to make further investment in the City’s infrastructure.
One of the priorities identified within the Comprehensive Plan is to mitigate traffic
congestion and improve traffic flow and safety in all areas of the community. With the
addition of these new housing developments and the location of existing and proposed
school facilities that will serve these new neighborhoods, it is important that the City
continues to build out and improve its transportation network for the safety and well-being
of existing and new residents. Increment generated from the North Waukee Residential
Urban Renewal Area will go towards paying for a portion of the extension of Douglas
Parkway between NW 4th Street and NE Badger Lane,a major east-west arterial corridor,
which will provide direct access from these new residential developments to both
Northwest High School and Grant Ragan Elementary School.
When a City utilizes tax increment financing to support residential development, a
percentage of the incremental revenues (or other revenues) generated by the project (not to
exceed the project costs which are limited to reimbursement of "public improvement" costs
as defined by Iowa law) must be used to provide housing assistance to low or moderate
income ("LMI") individuals or families. LMI individuals or families are generally those
whose incomes do not exceed 80% of the median Dallas County income.
Unless a reduction is approved by the Iowa Economic Development Authority, the
percentage of incremental revenues used to provide LMI assistance must be at least equal
to the percentage of LMI families living in Dallas County. That percentage is currently
26.22%. ("LMI Set-Aside Fund")
The requirement to provide assistance for LMI housing may be met by one, or a
combination, of the following three options:
Providing that at least 26.32% of the units constructed in the Area are occupied by
residents and/or families whose incomes are at or below 80% of the median county
income;
Setting aside 26.22% of the project costs for LMI housing activities anywhere in
the City; or
Ensuring that 26.22% of the houses constructed within the Area are priced at
amounts affordable to LMI families.
If funds are set aside, as opposed to constructing a sufficient percentage of LMI housing in
the Area, the assistance for low and moderate income family housing may be provided
anywhere within the City. The type of assistance provided must benefit LMI residents
and/or families and may include, but is not limited to:
1.Construction of LMI affordable housing.
2.Owner/renter-occupied housing rehabilitation for LMI residents and/or families.
3.Grants, credits or other direct assistance for LMI residents and/or families.
4.Homeownership assistance for LMI residents and/or families.
FINAL 093020 4
5.Tenant-based rental assistance for LMI residents and/or families.
6.Down payment assistance for LMI residents and/or families.
7.Mortgage interest buy-down assistance for LMI residents and/or families.
8.Under appropriate circumstances, the construction of public improvements that
benefit LMI residents and/or families.
G. AREA OBJECTIVES
Renewal activities are designed to provide opportunities, incentives, and sites for new
residential development within the Area. More specific objectives for development within
the North Waukee Residential Urban Renewal Area are as follows:
1.To increase the availability of housing opportunities, which may, in turn, attract
and retain local industries and commercial enterprises that will strengthen and
revitalize the economy of the State of Iowa and the City of Waukee.
2.To stimulate, through public action and commitment, private investment in new
housing and residential development.
3.To plan for and provide sufficient land for residential development in a manner
that is efficient from the standpoint of providing municipal services.
4.To help finance the cost of constructing public utility and infrastructure extensions
and improvements in support of new housing and residential development.
5.To provide a more marketable and attractive investment climate.
6.To improve the housing conditions and housing opportunities, including LMI
income families and/or individuals.
7.To encourage residential growth and expansion through governmental policies
which make it economically feasible to do business.
8.To promote development utilizing any other objectives allowed by Chapter 403
of the Code of Iowa.
H. TYPES OF RENEWAL ACTIVITIES
To meet the objectives of this Urban Renewal Plan and to encourage the development of
the Area, the City intends to utilize the powers conferred under Chapter 403 and Chapter
15A, Code of Iowa including, but not limited to, tax increment financing. Activities may
include:
1.To undertake and carry out urban renewal projects through the execution
of contracts and other instruments.
FINAL 093020 5
2.To arrange for or cause to be provided the construction or upgrade of
public infrastructure improvements, including streets and sidewalks,
traffic lights, pedestrian safety measures, water, sanitary sewer, and
storm sewer systems, public utilities or other facilities or physical
improvements in connection with urban renewal projects.
3.To finance programs that will directly benefit housing conditions and
promote the availability of housing in the community.
4.To borrow money and to provide security therefor.
5.To make or have made surveys and plans necessary for the
implementation of the urban renewal program or specific urban renewal
projects.
6.To use tax increment financing for a number of objectives, including, but
not limited to, achieving a more marketable and competitive land
offering price and providing for necessary physical improvements and
infrastructure.
7.To use tax increment for LMI housing assistance.
8.To use any or all other powers granted by the Urban Renewal Act to
develop and provide for improved economic conditions for the City of
Waukee and the State of Iowa.
I. ELIGIBLE URBAN RENEWAL PROJECTS
1. Public Improvements in Residential Development:
Public Improvement Project(s) Date Estimated
Cost
Rationale
Douglas Parkway Extension from
NE Badger Lane to N Warrior
Lane including construction of
two travel lanes, turning lanes,
utilities (water, sewer, storm, gas),
traffic signalization, trails,
sidewalks, landscaping, etc.
including associated engineering,
land acquisition and other related
costs.
2020-2023 $2,000,000 to
$4,000,000
Expansion and access to arterial
corridor which currently outlets
into a single family residential
neighborhood that creates a
safety problem and which is not
designed for large volumes of
traffic. Improvement also
provides direct access to new
High School
FINAL 093020 6
Douglas Parkway Culvert/Bridge
Construction to allow for
extension of Douglas Parkway
from N Warrior Lane to NW 4th
Street.
2020-2023 $2,500,000 to
$5,000,000
Improvements are necessary to
extend Douglas Parkway (major
arterial) over existing drainage
way and pond in order to provide
better access to Northwest High
School and relieve traffic
problems created in neighboring
residential areas due to lack of
east-west arterial connections.
TOTAL $4,500,000 to
$9,000,000
Unless LMI housing is constructed in the Northern Waukee Residential Urban Renewal
Area, the City will set aside a minimum of 26.22% of the incremental taxes generated by
the multi-residential housing units (up to a maximum of the costs of public improvements)
and use those funds to support LMI housing anywhere in the community. As an example,
if the construction costs for the public improvements total at least $100,000 and if
incremental taxes of $100,000 are generated from the construction of multi-residential
housing units in the Northern Waukee Residential Urban Renewal Area (and no such units
are affordable to LMI housing residents or are rented to such individuals or families), the
LMI Set Aside Fund requirement would be $26,220. The balance of $73,780 in
incremental taxes could be used to reimburse the City for construction costs of the public
improvements described above under No. 1 or planning, legal, and related project costs
(listed in No. 2 below).
2. Planning, engineering fees (for urban renewal plans), attorney fees, other
related costs to support the urban renewal project and planning:

2.Outstanding current general obligation debt: $ 85,029,358
FINAL 093020 7
3.Proposed amount of indebtedness to be incurred: A specific amount of
debt to be incurred for the Eligible Urban Renewal Projects has not yet
been determined. This document is for planning purposes only. The
estimated project costs in this Plan are estimates only and will be
incurred and spent over a number of years. In no event will the City's
constitutional debt limit be exceeded. The City Council will consider
each project proposal on a case-by-case basis to determine if it is in the
City's best interest to participate before approving an urban renewal
project or expense. It is further expected that such indebtedness,
including interest on the same, may be financed in whole or in part with
tax increment revenues from the Urban Renewal Area. Subject to the
foregoing, it is estimated that the cost of the Eligible Urban Renewal
Projects as described above will be approximately as stated in the next
column:
$4,600,000 -
$9,100,000
This estimate does
not include
financing costs
which may be
incurred over the
life of the Plan nor
does it include the
LMI assistance
costs
K. URBAN RENEWAL FINANCING
The City of Waukee intends to utilize various financing tools, such as those described
below, to successfully undertake the proposed urban renewal actions. The City of Waukee
has the statutory authority to use a variety of tools to finance physical improvements within
the Area. These include:
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, economic development incentives or other urban renewal
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 eligible 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(s).
B) General Obligation Bonds.
Under Division III of Chapter 384 and Chapter 403 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 or urban renewal projects
within the Area and for other urban renewal projects. 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.
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
FINAL 093020 8
loans or grants of public funds to private businesses located in the Area for urban renewal
projects. Alternatively, the City may determine to use available funds for making such
loans or grants or other incentives related to urban renewal projects. In any event, the City
may determine to use tax increment financing to reimburse the City for any obligations or
advances.
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 15A, Chapter 403, Chapter
427B, or any other provision of the Code of Iowa in furtherance of the objectives of the
Urban Renewal Plan.
L. PROPERTY ACQUISITION/DISPOSITION
Other than easements and public right-of-ways, no property acquisition by the City is
anticipated at this time. However, if property acquisition/disposition becomes necessary
to accomplish the objectives of the Plan, urban renewal powers will be carried out, without
limitation, in accordance with the State of Iowa Urban Renewal Law.
M. AGREEMENTS TO INCLUDE AGRICULTURAL LAND
Because some of the area included in the North Waukee Residential Urban Renewal Area
contains land that is defined as "agricultural land" by Iowa Code Section 403.17(3), the
City of Waukee and the property owner have entered (or will enter) into an agreement in
which the property owner agrees to allow the City to include real property defined as
"Agricultural Land" in the Urban Renewal Area. A copy of the agreement is or will be
attached as Exhibit "C”. The original signed agreement will be on file at the City Clerk's
office.
N. RELOCATION
The City does not expect there to be any relocation required of residents or businesses as
part of the proposed urban renewal project; 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 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 shall be held for
any reason to be invalid, illegal, unauthorized or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality, unauthorization or unenforceability 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.
FINAL 093020 9
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, adding or deleting land, adding or amending urban renewal
projects, or modifying goals or types of renewal activities.
The City Council may amend this Plan in accordance with applicable State law.
R. EFFECTIVE PERIOD
This Urban Renewal Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the City Council and
will remain in effect until it is repealed by the City Council.
With respect to the property included within the North Waukee Residential Urban Renewal
Area, which is also included in an ordinance which designates that property as a tax
increment area and is designated based on an economic development finding, to provide or
to assist in the provision of public improvements related to housing and residential
development, the use of incremental property tax revenues or the "division of revenue," as
those words are used in Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa, is limited to ten (10) years
beginning with the second fiscal year following the year in which the City first certifies to
the County Auditor the amount of any loans, advances, indebtedness, or bonds which
qualify for payment from the incremental property tax revenues attributable to that property
within the North Waukee Residential Urban Renewal Area.
It is also anticipated that separate TIF ordinances for separate lots/parcel(s) may be adopted
as development in the Area warrants such that property in each TIF ordinance may have a
separate base value year and the division of revenue in each TIF ordinance may have a
separate expiration date.
At all times, the use of tax increment financing revenues (including the amount of loans,
advances, indebtedness or bonds which qualify for payment from the division of revenue
provided in Section 403.19 of the Code of Iowa) by the City for activities carried out under
the North Waukee Residential Urban Renewal Plan shall be limited as deemed appropriate
by the City Council and consistent with all applicable provisions of law.
