Welch Farm Development Urban Renewal Plan
for the
Welch Farm Development Urban Renewal Area
City of Riverdale, Iowa
A. INTRODUCTION
This Welch Farm Development Urban Renewal Plan ("Plan" or "Urban Renewal Plan") for the
Welch Farm Development Urban Renewal Area ("Area" or "Urban Renewal Area") has been
developed to help local officials respond to and promote economic development in the City of
Riverdale, Iowa (the "City"). The primary goal of this Plan is to stimulate, through public
involvement and commitment, private investment in new housing and residential development as
defined in the Code of Iowa Section 403.17(12).
In order to achieve this objective, 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 Urban Renewal Area is described in Exhibit"A" and illustrated in Exhibit"B." The land is
currently undeveloped and being used for agricultural purposes. This property has never been
residential in nature nor part of a residential housing development.
The City reserves the right to modify the boundary of the Area at some future date.
C. AREA DESIGNATION
With the adoption of this Plan, the City designates this Urban Renewal Area as an economic
development area that is appropriate for the provision of public improvements related to housing
and residential development.
D. BASE VALUE
If the Urban Renewal Area is legally established, a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) ordinance is
adopted, and debt is certified prior to December 1, 2017, the taxable valuation as of January 1,
2016, will be considered the frozen "base valuation" for the portion of the Urban Renewal Area
identified in the TIF ordinance. If a TIF ordinance is not adopted until a later date, or debt is not
first certified prior to December 1, 2017,the frozen"base value"will be the assessed value of the
taxable property within that area covered by the TIF ordinance as of January 1 of the calendar
3
FINAL 8-2-2017
year preceding the calendar year in which the City first certifies the amount of any debt on the
Area.
E. DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Riverdale has a general plan for the physical development of the City as a whole, outlined in the
2012-2032 Comprehensive Plan, adopted by the City in November 2012. The goals and
objectives identified in this Plan, and the urban renewal projects described herein, are in
conformity with the goals and actions identified in the 2012-2032 Comprehensive Plan.
This Urban Renewal Plan does not in any way replace the City's current land use planning or
zoning regulation process. Currently the Area contains land that is zoned R-1A (Single Family
Residential). The City doesn't anticipate any change in zoning as a result of the proposed
development.
The need, if any, 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 continues to develop, the need for public infrastructure extensions and
upgrades will be evaluated and planned for by the City.
F. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
The City's objective in this Urban Renewal Area is to promote new residential development.
The City realizes that the availability of affordable housing is an important component of
attracting new business and industry and retaining existing businesses.
Riverdale is located in Scott County, is completely surrounded by the City of Bettendorf, and is
within an easy commute of Davenport IA, (7 miles) and Moline, IL (10 miles). Because of its
location Riverdale strives to be a family-friendly community. However, growth within the
community is limited due to the community being landlocked between the City of Bettendorf and
the Mississippi River, thus, most of the City's economic growth is through development of infill
areas and redevelopment of existing properties.
The larger metropolitan area is growing. As an example, the City of Bettendorf's comprehensive
plan projects a growth of 7,800 people by 2035 resulting in a need for an additional 3,800 new
housing units. As a part of the greater Bettendorf area Riverdale can expect to benefit from the
need for housing in Bettendorf and other surrounding communities.
The 2012-2032 Comprehensive Plan identified policies related to housing that encouraged
variety and support infill and redevelopment practices. The proposed project would involve the
development of some of the last remaining agricultural land available within the City's corporate
limits into approximately 116 new residential lots.
4
FINAL 8-2-2017
The City expects growth in economic development activities to continue with-in the City and in
the region which will increase the demand for additional housing. As such, the City has taken
the position of supporting the creation of new housing opportunities, including increasing the
variety of housing options available, as a way to encourage the overall growth of the City and
region.
When a city utilizes tax increment financing to support residential development (such support is
limited to reimbursement of"public improvement" costs, as defined by Iowa law), a percentage
of the incremental revenues (or other revenues) generated by the development must be used to
provide assistance to low and moderate income (LMI) families. LM1 families are those whose
incomes do not exceed 80%of the median Scott County income.
Unless a reduction is approved by the Iowa Economic Development Authority, the amount of
incremental revenues (or other revenues) to be provided for low and moderate income family
housing in the community shall be either equal to or greater than the percentage of the original
project costs (i.e., the amount of TIF funds used to reimburse infrastructure costs serving the
housing development in the Area) that is equal to the percentage of LMI families living in Scott
County. That percentage is currently 37.69%. ("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:
1. Providing that at least 37.69% 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;
2. Setting aside an amount equal to or greater than 37.69%of the project costs to be used for
LMI housing activities anywhere in the City; or,
3. Ensuring that 37.69% 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.
5. Tenant-based rental assistance for LMI residents and/or families.
5
FINAL 8-2-2017
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. PLAN 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 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 Riverdale.
2. To stimulate, through public action and commitment, private investment in new housing
and residential development and redevelopment. The City realizes that the availability of
affordable, decent, safe, and sanitary housing is important to the overall economic
viability of the community.
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 residential development.
5. To improve housing conditions and increase housing opportunities, particularly for LMI
income families and/or individuals.
6. To provide for the installation and upgrade of public works, infrastructure, and related
facilities in support of new housing development.
7. To provide a more marketable and attractive investment climate through the use of
various federal, state, and local incentives.
8. To encourage residential growth and expansion through governmental policies which
make it economically feasible to do business.
9. To promote development utilizing any other objectives allowed by Chapter 403 of the
Code of Iowa.

FINAL 8-2-2017
I. ELIGIBLE URBAN RENEWAL PROJECTS
Although certain project activities may occur over a period of years, the eligible urban renewal
projects under this Urban Renewal Plan include:
1. Rebates to Support Infrastructure Improvements in Residential Development:
The proposed urban renewal project involves providing incentives to assist Woods Construction
and Development, Inc. (or a related entity) in the development of an anticipated 116 lot
residential subdivision in five phases. Woods Construction and Development, Inc. (or a related
entity) is expected to invest approximately $8,168,000 in the subdivision, including the
construction of new streets, street lighting, water, sanitary sewer, and storm water utilities.
Construction is anticipated to take place over a period of years from 2017—2024.
The City expects to provide assistance in the form of property tax rebates of potential
incremental taxes that will result from completion of the Welch Farm Development and related
public improvements. Under the proposal, some of the incremental property tax generated by the
project (from the development of new housing units to be constructed on the developer's land
pursuant to the Code of Iowa Section 403.19) is expected to be rebated to the developer upon
substantiation of costs incurred by the developer in constructing the public improvements.
Unless some other amount is determined by the City, these incentives are not expected to exceed
the lesser of:
• The developer's certified and approved costs of public improvements; or
• $4,456,000.00(or a lesser amount).
These rebates will not be general obligations of the City but will be payable solely from
incremental property taxes generated by the project and subject to annual appropriation. The
rebates will be available for up to a maximum of a 10-fiscal year period for the TIF ordinance
area. With consent of all other affected taxing entities (by written agreement), the use of
incremental property tax revenues under the Code of Iowa Section 403.19 can be extended for up
to five (5) years if necessary to adequately fund the rebates. The City may decide to seek such
consent.
Unless LMI housing is constructed in the Welch Farm Development, the City will set aside
37.69% of the incremental taxes generated by the residential housing units (up to a maximum of
the developer's certified costs of public improvements or$4,456,000.00, or a lesser amount) and
use those funds to support LMI housing anywhere in the community. The remaining incremental
taxes will be available to reimburse the City for planning, legal, and other project costs and to
fund property tax rebates to the developer up to the above stated maximums.
The City believes that assistance to develop residential housing in this Area will promote
economic development by providing needed housing opportunities resulting from demand
created by new and expanding businesses in the area. The City expects to enter into a
8
FINAL 8-2-2017
development agreement with Woods Construction and Development, Inc. (or a related entity)
that provides detailed terms and conditions, not all of which are included in this Plan.
2. Planning, Engineering Fees (for Urban Renewal Plans), Attorney Fees,
Administrative, and Other Related Costs to Support Urban Renewal Projects and
Planning:
Project Estimated Date Estimated Cost

with TIF Funds
Fees and Costs Undetermined Not to Exceed
$150,000
J. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. July 1,2017, Constitutional Debt Limit $4,753,575
2. Current Outstanding General Obligation Debt $1,240,000
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 $4,606,000.00
incurred and spent over a number of years. In no event will the
City's constitutional debt limit be exceeded. The City Council will (plus an LMI set
consider each project proposal on a case-by-case basis to determine if aside)
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 to be
funded by TIF funds will be approximately as stated in the next
column:
K. URBAN RENEWAL FINANCING
The City intends to utilize various financing tools such as those described below to successfully
undertake the proposed urban renewal actions. The City 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 Code of Iowa, 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
9
FINAL 8-2-2017
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. Certain 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 Code of Iowa, 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 and for other urban renewal projects 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 Riverdale. 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 or private entities in connection with
the urban renewal projects identified in this Plan. 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 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.
L. PROPERTY ACQUISITION/DISPOSITION
The City will follow any applicable requirements for the acquisition and disposition of property
within the Urban Renewal Area.
NI. RELOCATION
The City does not expect there to be any relocation required of residents or businesses as part of
the eligible urban renewal project; however, if any relocation is necessary, the City will follow
all applicable relocation requirements.
N. 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.
10
FINAL 8-2-2017
0. AGRICULTURAL LAND
Because the Urban Renewal Area contains land that is defined as"agricultural land" by the Code
of Iowa Section 403.17(3), the City and the agricultural land owner have entered into an
agreement in which the agricultural land owner agrees to allow the City to include real property,
defined as "agricultural land," in the Urban Renewal Area. A copy of that agreement is attached
as Exhibit"C." The original signed agreement is on file at the City Clerk's office.
P. PROPERTY WITHIN AN URBAN REVITALIZATION AREA
The Urban Renewal Area, as amended, may (now or in the future) also be located within an
established Urban Revitalization Area. The Riverdale City Council, at its sole discretion, shall
determine which incentives are available through either: (a) this Plan, for urban renewal
incentives, if any urban renewal incentives are offered by the City, at the City Council's sole
discretion; or (b) tax abatement incentives under the Urban Revitalization Plan; or (c) some
combination of the two incentives as determined by the City in its sole discretion.
Q. SEVERABILITY
In the event one or more provisions contained in this Urban Renewal Plan shall be held for any
reason to be invalid, illegal, unauthorized, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality, un-authorization, 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.
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, 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.
S. EFFECTIVE PERIOD
This Urban Renewal Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the City Council and shall
remain in effect until terminated by the City Council.
With respect to property included within the 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
ti
FINAL 8-2-2017
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 Urban Renewal Area.
With consent of all other affected taxing entities (by written agreement), the use of incremental
property tax revenues under the Code of Iowa Section 403.19 can be extended for up to five (5)
additional years, if necessary, to adequately fund the rebates. The City may decide to seek such
consent.
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
Urban Renewal Area shall be limited as deemed appropriate by the City Council and consistent
with all applicable provisions of law.
