Waukee (the “City”) adopted the Plan in 2013. Pursuant to the Plan, the City has
undertaken Urban Renewal activities pursuant to the powers granted to it under
Chapter 403 and Chapter 15A of the Code of Iowa, as amended.
The Gateway Economic Development Urban Renewal Plan was amended in 2014
(Amendment #1), 2015 (Amendment #2), 2016 (Amendment #3) and 2017
(Amendment #4). The Plan is being further amended to add real estate to the Area
to the extent described hereinafter and to add and/or confirm the list of proposed
projects to be undertaken within the Gateway Economic Development Urban
Renewal Area (“Urban Renewal Area” or “Area”) by this Amendment #5
(“Amendment #5” or “Amendment”).

provided herein. In case of any conflict or uncertainty, the terms of this
Amendment shall control.
B. DESCRIPTION OF THE URBAN RENEWAL AREA
The legal description of the property being added to the Gateway Economic
Development Urban Renewal Area by this Amendment (called “Amendment #5
Area”) is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. A map of the Amendment #5 Area and
including the entire Gateway Economic Development Urban Renewal Area, as
amended, is attached hereto as Exhibit “B”.
C. AREA DESIGNATION
With the adoption of this Plan, the City of Waukee designated 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. This designation continues in this Amendment and applies to the
Amendment #5 Area.
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 2011, the City of Waukee approved a Unified Urban Renewal Plan and
Amendment No. 1. The 2011 Unified Plan continued the City’s objective to
consolidate 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, 3 4, 5, 6 and 7 to the Unified Plan followed.
The City of Waukee received approval for a new interchange off Interstate 80.
Work on the connecting corridor (Grand Prairie Parkway) to the new interchange
began in the fall of 2013 with the interchange work beginning in October 2014.
FINAL 091418 5
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.
The Gateway Economic Development Area was 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.
In 2013, when the Gateway Economic Development Urban Renewal Plan was
adopted, the majority of the area to be included in the new Gateway development
corridor was a part of the Unified Urban Renewal Area but had remained
undeveloped due to lack of public infrastructure. Simultaneously with the
adoption of the Gateway Economic Development Area, the City amended 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.
In order to accommodate this new development, it is estimated that various
infrastructure and development projects will cost in the range of $70 - $80 million
[increased from $45 - $50 million estimate in the Original Plan] and will be
completed over several years. In addition to incremental taxes, the City intends to
apply for available federal and state dollars as a funding resource.
FINAL 091418 6
The City's plan in 2013 was that as the City begins to invest millions of dollars in
infrastructure to support this new corridor, City officials believed it was 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. This concept applies equally to the Amendment #5 Area, which is
undeveloped property and has the potential to support commercial development.
The Gateway Economic Development Urban Renewal 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
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. This Amendment does not alter any
previously established base values.
F. DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Waukee has a general plan for physical development of the City as a whole
outlined in the Waukee Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2008, and last amended in
September 2017. This Urban Renewal Plan, as amended by Amendment #5, is in
conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and the land use policy and priorities that
were adopted as part of the planning process. Specific objectives identified in the
Comprehensive Plan include, but are not limited to, a connected citizenry
involving the creation of strong civic gathering places; a successful and
economically viable downtown; business environments that define the future
through innovation and creativity; and mixed-use and neighborhood integrated
commercial developments which maintain a strong retail base and are designed to
be sustainable.
The Gateway Economic Development Urban Renewal Area is primarily zoned
agricultural, commercial, and commercial office. A small portion of the Area is
zoned Multi-Family Residential and Townhomes.
This Urban Renewal Plan does not change or in any way replace the City’s current
land use planning or zoning regulation process.
The need for improved traffic, public transportation, public utilities, recreational
and community facilities, or other public improvements within the Urban Renewal
FINAL 091418 7
Area is set forth in this Plan, as amended. As the Area develops, the need for
public infrastructure extensions and upgrades will be evaluated and planned for by
the City.
G. AREA OBJECTIVES
Renewal activities are designed to provide opportunities, incentives, and sites for
new commercial and light industrial development within the district. More
specific objectives for development within the Gateway Economic Development
Urban Renewal Area are as follows:
1.To stimulate through public action and commitment, private investment
in new commercial and light industrial development.
2. To plan for and provide sufficient land for commercial and light
industrial development in a manner that is efficient from the standpoint

base.
H. TYPE 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.
2. To arrange for or cause to be provided the construction or repair of
public infrastructure, including but not limited to streets, storm water

2)Development Agreements:
a. Agreement with KC Kettlestone, L.C. Under authority granted by the Plan, as
previously amended, the City entered a Development Agreement (the
"Agreement") with KC Kettlestone, L.C. (the “Developer”) and Ashworth
Properties Development, Inc. (the "Land Developer"). The Agreement obligates
the Developer to construct certain Minimum Improvements (as defined in the
Agreement) on certain real property located within the Gateway Urban Renewal
Area as defined and legally described in the Development Agreement, consisting
of the construction of a 90,000 square foot, two story building to be used for office
space, together with all related site improvements, under the terms and following
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Agreement. Developer anticipates the
Minimum Improvements will be leased to a commercial business that will employ
employees therein. The Agreement further obligates the City to make up to five
(5) consecutive annual payments of Economic Development Grants to Developer
consisting of 100% of the Tax Increments pursuant to the Iowa Code Section
403.19 and generated by the construction of the Minimum Improvements; the
cumulative total for all such payments is currently estimated to be $1,740,000 but
in no event will exceed the amount accrued under the formula outlined in the
Development Agreement, under the terms and following satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in the Agreement. The Land Developer will dedicate property
to the City, at no cost to the City, to be used as right-of-way for certain Public
Improvements, as described in the Agreement, to be constructed by the City in the
Urban Renewal Area. The Agreement further proposes that Land Developer will
pay for the costs of the Public Improvements not otherwise paid for by RISE
grants. The Agreement further obligates the City to make up to five (5) additional
FINAL 091418 10
consecutive annual payments of Economic Development Grants to Developer
consisting of 100% of the Tax Increments pursuant to the Iowa Code Section
403.19 and generated by the construction of the Minimum Improvements, the
cumulative total for all such payments not to exceed the amount accrued under the
formula outlined in the proposed Development Agreement (currently estimated to
be $1,740,000), under the terms and following satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in the Agreement.
The Developer will contribute $25,000 from each Economic Development Grant
to offset the cost of the City constructing certain Public Amenities in the Urban
Renewal Area, as described in the Agreement.
b. Agreement with Fridley Properties LLC. Under authority granted by the Plan,
as previously amended, the City entered into a Development Agreement (the
"Agreement") with Fridley Properties LLC (the “Developer”). The Agreement
obligates the Developer to complete Minimum Improvements (as defined in the
Agreement) on certain real property located within the Gateway Urban Renewal
Area as defined and legally described in the Development Agreement, consisting
of the construction of a 64,000 square foot movie theater and related
improvements (as defined in the Agreement) on a portion of the Development
Property, and to employ employees therein. The Agreement further obligates the
City to make five (5) annual payments of Economic Development Grants to
Developer, each consisting of 100% of the Tax Increments pursuant to the Iowa
Code Section 403.19 and generated by the construction of the Minimum
Improvements, under the terms and following satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in the Agreement and up to a cumulative maximum of $2,000,000.
J.ELIGIBLE PROJECTS (Amendment #5)
Although certain project activities may occur over a period of years, the Eligible
Urban Renewal Projects under this Amendment include:
1) Development Agreements:
Future Development Agreements: 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 $8,000,000 -
$10,000,000.
2) Related Planning Costs:
FINAL 091418 11
Planning, engineering fees for planning work, and legal fees to support
proposed urban renewal projects are estimated not to exceed $2,000,000.
K. FINANCIAL DATA
1. July 1, 2018, constitutional debt limit: $92,216,747
2. Current outstanding general obligation debt:
$71,573,137
3. Proposed amount of indebtedness to be incurred:
A specific amount of debt to be incurred for the
Eligible Urban Renewal Projects (Amendment #5)
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 Eligible Urban
Renewal Projects (Amendment #5) as described
above will be approximately:
$10,000,000 -
$12,000,000
These totals do not
include financing
costs related to debt
issuance, which may
be incurred over the
life of the Area.
L. AGREEMENT TO INCLUDE AGRICULTURAL LAND
Because some of the property included in the Gateway Economic Development
Urban Renewal Area by the original Plan contains land that is defined as
“agricultural land” by Iowa Code Section 403.17(3), the City and property owner
have entered 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 form of the agreement is attached as Exhibit C to the original Plan. The
original signed agreements are on file at the City Clerk’s office. Amendment #5
does include the addition of land to the Area, however the land being added does
not meet the requirements for “Agricultural Land”. Therefore, no Exhibit C is
attached to this Amendment.
FINAL 091418 12
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 construction of certain public
improvements and urban renewal projects within the Area or
incentives for development consistent with this Plan. 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 or other urban renewal projects. 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 for
urban renewal projects. Alternatively, the City may determine to use available
FINAL 091418 13
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 this Urban Renewal Plan.
N. PROPERTY ACQUISITION/DISPOSITION
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.
O. RELOCATION
The City does not expect there to be any relocation required of residents or
businesses as part of the Proposed Urban Renewal Projects; however, if any
relocation is necessary, the City will follow all applicable relocation requirements.
P. 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.
Q. REPEALER AND SEVERABILITY
Any parts of the previous Plan, as previously amended, in conflict with this
Amendment are hereby repealed.
In the event one or more provisions contained in this Amendment or 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 or the
Urban Renewal Plan, and this Urban Renewal Plan, as amended, shall be
construed and implemented as if such provisions had never been contained herein.
R. URBAN RENEWAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
This Urban Renewal 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 add or modify urban renewal projects, to modify goals
FINAL 091418 14
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.
S. EFFECTIVE PERIOD
This Amendment #5 to the Gateway Economic Development Urban Renewal Plan
will become effective upon its adoption by the City Council and the Plan, as
amended, will remain in effect until it is repealed by the City Council. During the
life of the 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
Iowa, is limited to twenty (20) years from the calendar year following the calendar
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 revenue attributable to the portion of the Area within the ordinance.
The division of revenues shall continue within any tax increment area, for the
maximum period allowed by law.
It is anticipated that separate TIF ordinances for separate parcel(s) may be adopted as
development in the Area warrants.
For TIF ordinances on the Area, the frozen base for the parcels within a TIF
ordinance is set as of January 1 of the calendar year preceding the first calendar
year in which the City certifies debt in the Area following the adoption of the TIF
ordinance.
Each TIF ordinance could have separate expiration dates depending on when the
TIF ordinance is adopted. Per law, the collection of tax increment from the
parcel(s) within each TIF ordinance will be limited to no more than 20 years.
For example, if one of the TIF ordinances on an Area parcel(s) is both adopted and
first certified in 2016, then the frozen base of the parcel(s) within the TIF
ordinance is established as of 1/1/2015 and the fiscal year 2036-2037 is the last
year (expiration date) that tax increment can be collected on property within that
particular TIF ordinance.
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 Gateway Economic Development Urban Renewal Plan shall be limited as
deemed appropriate by the City Council and consistent with all applicable provisions of
law.
