AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE
WAUKEE CONSOLIDATED URBAN RENEWAL PLAN
FOR THE WAUKEE CONSOLIDATED URBAN RENEWAL AREA
CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA
A.INTRODUCTION
In response to particular situations during the past years, the City of Waukee (the “City”
or “Waukee”) has created and amended several urban renewal areas, covering different
portions of the City, the primary purpose of each to stimulate, through public involvement
and commitment, private investment in new commercial and light industrial development.
Changing economic conditions and priorities makes it unnecessary to have separate areas,
and consolidating or linking these areas will allow the City to maximize the future
expenditure of incremental property tax revenues in order to promote economic
development. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 to the Waukee Consolidated Urban
Renewal Plan (“Amendment No. 1”) accomplishes all of the following:
(1) Consolidates and links the following existing urban renewal areas:
• Gateway Economic Development Urban Renewal Area (including
Amendments 1-6)
• Waukee West Urban Renewal Area (including Amendments 1-2)
• Waukee Central Urban Renewal Area (including Amendment 1)

B.DESCRIPTION OF THE URBAN RENEWAL AREA
The Waukee Consolidated Urban Renewal Area, including each of the consolidated areas
and the Amendment No. 1 Area, is described in Exhibit A. The Area includes the right of
way of various roads connecting the Area and is illustrated in Exhibit B.
The City reserves the right to modify the boundaries of the Area at some future date.
C.AREA DESIGNATION
With the adoption of this Amendment No. 1, the City of Waukee continues to designate
the Urban Renewal Area, including the consolidated areas and the Amendment No. 1 Area,
as an area that is appropriate for the promotion of economic development, both commercial
and industrial.
D. BASE VALUES
Those portions of the existing areas being consolidated as a result of Amendment No. 1
which are already included in a tax increment financing (“TIF”) ordinance will retain their
separate existing base values.
It is anticipated that a number of TIF ordinances will be adopted for various parcels within
the Urban Renewal Area, corresponding to the completion of new development projects.
Accordingly, different portions of the Urban Renewal Area will have different base
valuation dates.

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. This Amendment No. 1 is in
conformity with the 2019 Comprehensive Plan and the land use policy and priorities that

2). Development Agreements (future):
The City expects to consider requests for Development Agreements for projects that are
consistent with this Plan, in the City’s sole discretion. Such Agreements are unknown at
this time, but based on past history, and dependent on development opportunities and
climate, the City expects to consider incentives as authorized by this Plan, including but
not limited to land, loans, grants, rebates, public infrastructure assistance and other
incentives. The costs of such Development Agreements will not exceed $15,000,000 -
$20,000,000.

2. Current outstanding general obligation debt: $65,854,024
3. Proposed amount of indebtedness to be incurred:
A specific amount of debt to be incurred for the
Urban Renewal Projects has not yet been
determined. This document is for planning
purposes. 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 Urban Renewal
Projects as described above will be

K. PUBLIC BUILDING ANALYSIS
(Restated from Waukee West Urban Renewal Plan, as previously amended)
A future public safety facility with fire and police services is contemplated for this Area due to the
distance from existing public safety facilities and the response times for this area of the community.
- 17 -
As development occurs, additional protection will be needed. Using tax increment financing
dollars to pay for the construction and equipping of this public building is a fair and rational way
to fund this urban renewal project.
Alternative development and funding options for a potential public building project in the Urban
Renewal Area would be for the City to go through a process that could result in the issuance of
general obligation bonds to fund the project, resulting in the entire cost for the facility to be borne
by City residents. This option is arguably less feasible than the use of TIF funds because there
would be no contribution of tax increment revenues from affected school districts and Dallas
County. Because the public safety facility listed in this Plan will benefit Dallas County
residents/taxpayers and school patrons/taxpayers, the use of tax increment is the most appropriate
funding mechanism because it is fair for the school districts and the county to share in the costs
for the project. The project demonstrates regional benefits. Additionally, purchasing land and
constructing a new public safety facility will protect this area of the City, which will promote
development, thus increasing the property tax base, thereby benefiting the City, school and
county. The City also intends to consider the use of other funding sources, such as state, federal,
and/or local grants, and private donations.
Construction of a new public safety facility will provide needed fire and ambulance protection in
this western edge of the City. The fire district serviced by the City of Waukee extends along the
Highway 6 corridor west to S Avenue. This area is included within the proposed Urban Renewal
Area. Construction of a new public safety facility in the Area is necessary to allow for commercial
and industrial development in the Area, including the proposed data center development.
Construction of the new public safety facility in the Area will significantly reduce response times
to the anticipated commercial and industrial development in the Area, and such improved
responsiveness is imperative to attracting additional development to the Area, including the data
center project described above.
The Waukee Community School District has purchased property for a new high school scheduled
to be open to students in the Fall of 2021. The subject property is located one half mile north of
Highway 6 and east of R-22 (10th Street). Construction of a public safety facility within the
proposed Urban Renewal Area will allow for minimal response time to the location of the proposed
high school. In addition, the proposed City Public Safety Building will be approximately three
miles from the soon to be constructed Dallas County Public Safety Building, providing new
opportunities for mutual assistance and increased collaboration between the Waukee Police
Department and the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office.
In conclusion, for all the foregoing reasons, alternative options for funding of the urban renewal
projects described above are less feasible than the use of incremental taxes.
L. AGREEMENT TO INCLUDE AGRICULTURAL LAND
Because some of the property included in the areas being consolidated into the Waukee
Consolidated Urban Renewal Area included land that was defined as “agricultural land”
- 18 -
by Iowa Code Section 403.17(3), the City and property owners entered into agreements in
which the property owners agreed to allow the City to include real property defined as
“Agricultural Land” in the Urban Renewal Area. The original signed agreements are on
file at the City Clerk’s office. In addition, a portion of the property being added to the Area
by this Amendment No. 1 contains land that is defined as “agricultural land” by Iowa Code
Section 403.17(3), and the City and property owner(s) have entered into agreement(s) in
which the property owner(s) agree to allow the City to add that real property into the Urban
Renewal Area. A form of the agreement is attached as Exhibit C and the original signed
agreement(s) are on file at the City Clerk’s office.
M. 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 or economic development incentives 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 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
