09500HB2332ham001 - 2 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1 improved or vacant area within the boundaries of a
2 redevelopment project area located within the territorial
3 limits of the municipality where:
4         (1) If improved, industrial, commercial, and
5     residential buildings or improvements are detrimental to
6     the public safety, health, or welfare because of a
7     combination of 5 or more of the following factors, each of
8     which is (i) present, with that presence documented, to a
9     meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
10     find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
11     of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the
12     improved part of the redevelopment project area:
13             (A) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair
14         or neglect of necessary repairs to the primary
15         structural components of buildings or improvements in
16         such a combination that a documented building
17         condition analysis determines that major repair is
18         required or the defects are so serious and so extensive
19         that the buildings must be removed.
20             (B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of
21         falling into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited
22         for the original use.
23             (C) Deterioration. With respect to buildings,
24         defects including, but not limited to, major defects in
25         the secondary building components such as doors,
26         windows, porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia.

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 3 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1         With respect to surface improvements, that the
2         condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters,
3         sidewalks, off-street parking, and surface storage
4         areas evidence deterioration, including, but not
5         limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
6         depressions, loose paving material, and weeds
7         protruding through paved surfaces.
8             (D) Presence of structures below minimum code
9         standards. All structures that do not meet the
10         standards of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and
11         other governmental codes applicable to property, but
12         not including housing and property maintenance codes.
13             (E) Illegal use of individual structures. The use
14         of structures in violation of applicable federal,
15         State, or local laws, exclusive of those applicable to
16         the presence of structures below minimum code
17         standards.
18             (F) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
19         that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that
20         represent an adverse influence on the area because of
21         the frequency, extent, or duration of the vacancies.
22             (G) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
23         facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for
24         light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without
25         windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor,
26         gas, smoke, or other noxious airborne materials.

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 4 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1         Inadequate natural light and ventilation means the
2         absence of skylights or windows for interior spaces or
3         rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by room
4         area to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary
5         facilities refers to the absence or inadequacy of
6         garbage storage and enclosure, bathroom facilities,
7         hot water and kitchens, and structural inadequacies
8         preventing ingress and egress to and from all rooms and
9         units within a building.
10             (H) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
11         utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
12         sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and
13         electrical services that are shown to be inadequate.
14         Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
15         insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
16         redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated,
17         antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii)
18         lacking within the redevelopment project area.
19             (I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
20         structures and community facilities. The
21         over-intensive use of property and the crowding of
22         buildings and accessory facilities onto a site.
23         Examples of problem conditions warranting the
24         designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive land
25         coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings either
26         improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels of

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 5 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1         inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
2         standards of development for health and safety and (ii)
3         the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
4         For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
5         these parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
6         conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
7         within or around buildings, increased threat of spread
8         of fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack
9         of adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way,
10         lack of reasonably required off-street parking, or
11         inadequate provision for loading and service.
12             (J) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence
13         of incompatible land-use relationships, buildings
14         occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses
15         considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for
16         the surrounding area.
17             (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed
18         redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois
19         Environmental Protection Agency or United States
20         Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for,
21         or a study conducted by an independent consultant
22         recognized as having expertise in environmental
23         remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
24         hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground
25         storage tanks required by State or federal law,
26         provided that the remediation costs constitute a

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 6 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1         material impediment to the development or
2         redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
3             (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed
4         redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
5         without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.
6         This means that the development occurred prior to the
7         adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive or
8         other community plan or that the plan was not followed
9         at the time of the area's development. This factor must
10         be documented by evidence of adverse or incompatible
11         land-use relationships, inadequate street layout,
12         improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and
13         size to meet contemporary development standards, or
14         other evidence demonstrating an absence of effective
15         community planning.
16             (M) The total equalized assessed value of the
17         proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
18         of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
19         the redevelopment project area is designated or is
20         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
21         balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
22         calendar years for which information is available or is
23         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
24         Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
25         by the United States Department of Labor or successor
26         agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 7 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1         year in which the redevelopment project area is
2         designated.
3         (2) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
4     project area is impaired by a combination of 2 or more of
5     the following factors, each of which is (i) present, with
6     that presence documented, to a meaningful extent so that a
7     municipality may reasonably find that the factor is clearly
8     present within the intent of the Act and (ii) reasonably
9     distributed throughout the vacant part of the
10     redevelopment project area to which it pertains:
11             (A) Obsolete platting of vacant land that results
12         in parcels of limited or narrow size or configurations
13         of parcels of irregular size or shape that would be
14         difficult to develop on a planned basis and in a manner
15         compatible with contemporary standards and
16         requirements, or platting that failed to create
17         rights-of-ways for streets or alleys or that created
18         inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys, or
19         other public rights-of-way or that omitted easements
20         for public utilities.
21             (B) Diversity of ownership of parcels of vacant
22         land sufficient in number to retard or impede the
23         ability to assemble the land for development.
24             (C) Tax and special assessment delinquencies exist
25         or the property has been the subject of tax sales under
26         the Property Tax Code within the last 5 years.

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 8 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1             (D) Deterioration of structures or site
2         improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the
3         vacant land.
4             (E) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
5         Protection Agency or United States Environmental
6         Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
7         conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
8         having expertise in environmental remediation has
9         determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
10         hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
11         required by State or federal law, provided that the
12         remediation costs constitute a material impediment to
13         the development or redevelopment of the redevelopment
14         project area.
15             (F) The total equalized assessed value of the
16         proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
17         of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
18         the redevelopment project area is designated or is
19         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
20         balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
21         calendar years for which information is available or is
22         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
23         Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
24         by the United States Department of Labor or successor
25         agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the
26         year in which the redevelopment project area is

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 9 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1         designated.
2         (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
3     project area is impaired by one of the following factors
4     that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a
5     meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
6     find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
7     of the Act and (ii) is reasonably distributed throughout
8     the vacant part of the redevelopment project area to which
9     it pertains:
10             (A) The area consists of one or more unused
11         quarries, mines, or strip mine ponds.
12             (B) The area consists of unused rail yards, rail
13         tracks, or railroad rights-of-way.
14             (C) The area, prior to its designation, is subject
15         to (i) chronic flooding that adversely impacts on real
16         property in the area as certified by a registered
17         professional engineer or appropriate regulatory agency
18         or (ii) surface water that discharges from all or a
19         part of the area and contributes to flooding within the
20         same watershed, but only if the redevelopment project
21         provides for facilities or improvements to contribute
22         to the alleviation of all or part of the flooding.
23             (D) The area consists of an unused or illegal
24         disposal site containing earth, stone, building
25         debris, or similar materials that were removed from
26         construction, demolition, excavation, or dredge sites.

1             (E) Prior to November 1, 1999, the area is not less
2         than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75% of which is
3         vacant (notwithstanding that the area has been used for
4         commercial agricultural purposes within 5 years prior
5         to the designation of the redevelopment project area),
6         and the area meets at least one of the factors itemized
7         in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the area has been
8         designated as a town or village center by ordinance or
9         comprehensive plan adopted prior to January 1, 1982,
10         and the area has not been developed for that designated
11         purpose.
12             (F) The area qualified as a blighted improved area
13         immediately prior to becoming vacant, unless there has
14         been substantial private investment in the immediately
15         surrounding area.
16     (b) For any redevelopment project area that has been
17 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
18 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
19 91-478), "conservation area" shall have the meaning set forth
20 in this Section prior to that date.
21     On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means
22 any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment
23 project area located within the territorial limits of the
24 municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area
25 have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not yet a
26 blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more of the

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 11 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1 following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health,
2 morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
3         (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or
4     neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural
5     components of buildings or improvements in such a
6     combination that a documented building condition analysis
7     determines that major repair is required or the defects are
8     so serious and so extensive that the buildings must be
9     removed.

4     local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the presence
5     of structures below minimum code standards.
6         (6) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
7     that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent an
8     adverse influence on the area because of the frequency,
9     extent, or duration of the vacancies.
10         (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
11     facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for light
12     or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or

5         (9) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
6     structures and community facilities. The over-intensive
7     use of property and the crowding of buildings and accessory
8     facilities onto a site. Examples of problem conditions
9     warranting the designation of an area as one exhibiting
10     excessive land coverage are: the presence of buildings
11     either improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels
12     of inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
13     standards of development for health and safety and the
14     presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel. For
15     there to be a finding of excessive land coverage, these
16     parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
17     conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
18     within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of

2         (11) Lack of community planning. The proposed
3     redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
4     without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This
5     means that the development occurred prior to the adoption
6     by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community
7     plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the
8     area's development. This factor must be documented by
9     evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use
10     relationships, inadequate street layout, improper
11     subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet
12     contemporary development standards, or other evidence
13     demonstrating an absence of effective community planning.
14         (12) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
15     Protection Agency or United States Environmental
16     Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
17     conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
18     having expertise in environmental remediation has
19     determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
20     hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
21     required by State or federal law, provided that the
22     remediation costs constitute a material impediment to the
23     development or redevelopment of the redevelopment project

8 published in the United States Department of Labor Bureau of
9 Labor Statistics publication entitled "The Employment
10 Situation" or its successor publication. For the purpose of
11 this subsection, if unemployment rate statistics for the

3 base year is prior to 1985, but not to exceed a total deduction
4 of 12%. The amount so determined shall be known as the
5 "Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts". For purposes of
6 determining the Municipal Sales Tax Increment, the Department
7 of Revenue shall for each period subtract from the amount paid
8 to the municipality from the Local Government Tax Fund arising
9 from sales by retailers and servicemen on transactions located
10 in the redevelopment project area or the State Sales Tax
11 Boundary, as the case may be, the certified Initial Sales Tax
12 Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
13 Initial Sales Tax Amounts for the Municipal Retailers'
14 Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax
15 Act. For the State Fiscal Year 1989, this calculation shall be
16 made by utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax
17 amounts received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this
18 calculation shall be made by utilizing the period from January
19 1, 1988, until September 30, 1988, to determine the tax amounts
20 received from retailers and servicemen pursuant to the
21 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service
22 Occupation Tax Act, which shall have deducted therefrom
23 nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the
24 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales
25 Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State Fiscal Year 1991,
26 this calculation shall be made by utilizing the period from

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 19 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1 October 1, 1988, to June 30, 1989, to determine the tax amounts
2 received from retailers and servicemen pursuant to the
3 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service
4 Occupation Tax Act which shall have deducted therefrom
5 nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts,
6 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales
7 Tax Amounts as appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year
8 thereafter, the applicable period shall be the 12 months
9 beginning July 1 and ending June 30 to determine the tax
10 amounts received which shall have deducted therefrom the
11 certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales
12 Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts, as the
13 case may be.

18 $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually generated within
19 a State Sales Tax Boundary; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
20 excess of $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually
21 generated within a State Sales Tax Boundary. If, however, a
22 municipality established a tax increment financing district in
23 a county with a population in excess of 3,000,000 before
24 January 1, 1986, and the municipality entered into a contract
25 or issued bonds after January 1, 1986, but before December 31,
26 1986, to finance redevelopment project costs within a State

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 20 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1 Sales Tax Boundary, then the Net State Sales Tax Increment
2 means, for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990, and July 1,
3 1991, 100% of the State Sales Tax Increment annually generated
4 within a State Sales Tax Boundary; and notwithstanding any
5 other provision of this Act, for those fiscal years the
6 Department of Revenue shall distribute to those municipalities
7 100% of their Net State Sales Tax Increment before any
8 distribution to any other municipality and regardless of
9 whether or not those other municipalities will receive 100% of
10 their Net State Sales Tax Increment. For Fiscal Year 1999, and
11 every year thereafter until the year 2007, for any municipality
12 that has not entered into a contract or has not issued bonds
13 prior to June 1, 1988 to finance redevelopment project costs
14 within a State Sales Tax Boundary, the Net State Sales Tax
15 Increment shall be calculated as follows: By multiplying the

18 Fiscal Year 2001; 60% in the State Fiscal Year 2002; 50% in the
19 State Fiscal Year 2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year 2004; 30%
20 in the State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State Fiscal Year
21 2006; and 10% in the State Fiscal Year 2007. No payment shall
22 be made for State Fiscal Year 2008 and thereafter.

24 redevelopment project in a redevelopment project area within
25 the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991, or that
26 entered into contracts in connection with a redevelopment

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 21 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1 project in a redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988,
2 shall continue to receive their proportional share of the
3 Illinois Tax Increment Fund distribution until the date on
4 which the redevelopment project is completed or terminated. If,
5 however, a municipality that issued bonds in connection with a
6 redevelopment project in a redevelopment project area within
7 the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991 retires the
8 bonds prior to June 30, 2007 or a municipality that entered
9 into contracts in connection with a redevelopment project in a
10 redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988 completes the
11 contracts prior to June 30, 2007, then so long as the
12 redevelopment project is not completed or is not terminated,
13 the Net State Sales Tax Increment shall be calculated,
14 beginning on the date on which the bonds are retired or the
15 contracts are completed, as follows: By multiplying the Net
16 State Sales Tax Increment by 60% in the State Fiscal Year 2002;
17 50% in the State Fiscal Year 2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year
18 2004; 30% in the State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State
19 Fiscal Year 2006; and 10% in the State Fiscal Year 2007. No
20 payment shall be made for State Fiscal Year 2008 and
21 thereafter. Refunding of any bonds issued prior to July 29,
22 1991, shall not alter the Net State Sales Tax Increment.
23     (j) "State Utility Tax Increment Amount" means an amount
24 equal to the aggregate increase in State electric and gas tax
25 charges imposed on owners and tenants, other than residential
26 customers, of properties located within the redevelopment

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 22 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1 project area under Section 9-222 of the Public Utilities Act,
2 over and above the aggregate of such charges as certified by
3 the Department of Revenue and paid by owners and tenants, other
4 than residential customers, of properties within the
5 redevelopment project area during the base year, which shall be
6 the calendar year immediately prior to the year of the adoption
7 of the ordinance authorizing tax increment allocation
8 financing.
9     (k) "Net State Utility Tax Increment" means the sum of the
10 following: (a) 80% of the first $100,000 of State Utility Tax
11 Increment annually generated by a redevelopment project area;
12 (b) 60% of the amount in excess of $100,000 but not exceeding
13 $500,000 of the State Utility Tax Increment annually generated
14 by a redevelopment project area; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
15 excess of $500,000 of State Utility Tax Increment annually
16 generated by a redevelopment project area. For the State Fiscal
17 Year 1999, and every year thereafter until the year 2007, for
18 any municipality that has not entered into a contract or has
19 not issued bonds prior to June 1, 1988 to finance redevelopment
20 project costs within a redevelopment project area, the Net
21 State Utility Tax Increment shall be calculated as follows: By
22 multiplying the Net State Utility Tax Increment by 90% in the
23 State Fiscal Year 1999; 80% in the State Fiscal Year 2000; 70%
24 in the State Fiscal Year 2001; 60% in the State Fiscal Year
25 2002; 50% in the State Fiscal Year 2003; 40% in the State
26 Fiscal Year 2004; 30% in the State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 23 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1 State Fiscal Year 2006; and 10% in the State Fiscal Year 2007.
2 No payment shall be made for the State Fiscal Year 2008 and
3 thereafter.
4     Municipalities that issue bonds in connection with the
5 redevelopment project during the period from June 1, 1988 until
6 3 years after the effective date of this Amendatory Act of 1988
7 shall receive the Net State Utility Tax Increment, subject to
8 appropriation, for 15 State Fiscal Years after the issuance of
9 such bonds. For the 16th through the 20th State Fiscal Years
10 after issuance of the bonds, the Net State Utility Tax
11 Increment shall be calculated as follows: By multiplying the
12 Net State Utility Tax Increment by 90% in year 16; 80% in year
13 17; 70% in year 18; 60% in year 19; and 50% in year 20.
14 Refunding of any bonds issued prior to June 1, 1988, shall not
15 alter the revised Net State Utility Tax Increment payments set
16 forth above.
17     (l) "Obligations" mean bonds, loans, debentures, notes,
18 special certificates or other evidence of indebtedness issued
19 by the municipality to carry out a redevelopment project or to
20 refund outstanding obligations.
21     (m) "Payment in lieu of taxes" means those estimated tax
22 revenues from real property in a redevelopment project area
23 derived from real property that has been acquired by a
24 municipality which according to the redevelopment project or
25 plan is to be used for a private use which taxing districts
26 would have received had a municipality not acquired the real

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 24 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1 property and adopted tax increment allocation financing and
2 which would result from levies made after the time of the

16         However, for redevelopment project areas for which
17     bonds were issued before July 29, 1991, or for which
18     contracts were entered into before June 1, 1988, in
19     connection with a redevelopment project in the area within
20     the State Sales Tax Boundary, the estimated dates of
21     completion of the redevelopment project and retirement of
22     obligations to finance redevelopment project costs may be
23     extended by municipal ordinance to December 31, 2013. The
24     termination procedures of subsection (b) of Section
25     11-74.4-8 are not required for these redevelopment project
26     areas in 2009 but are required in 2013. The extension

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 34 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1     allowed by this amendatory Act of 1993 shall not apply to
2     real property tax increment allocation financing under
3     Section 11-74.4-8.
4         A municipality may by municipal ordinance amend an
5     existing redevelopment plan to conform to this paragraph
6     (3) as amended by Public Act 91-478, which municipal
7     ordinance may be adopted without further hearing or notice
8     and without complying with the procedures provided in this
9     Act pertaining to an amendment to or the initial approval
10     of a redevelopment plan and project and designation of a
11     redevelopment project area.
12         Those dates, for purposes of real property tax
13     increment allocation financing pursuant to Section
14     11-74.4-8 only, shall be not more than 35 years for
15     redevelopment project areas that were adopted on or after
16     December 16, 1986 and for which at least $8 million worth
17     of municipal bonds were authorized on or after December 19,
18     1989 but before January 1, 1990; provided that the
19     municipality elects to extend the life of the redevelopment
20     project area to 35 years by the adoption of an ordinance
21     after at least 14 but not more than 30 days' written notice
22     to the taxing bodies, that would otherwise constitute the
23     joint review board for the redevelopment project area,
24     before the adoption of the ordinance.
25         Those dates, for purposes of real property tax
26     increment allocation financing pursuant to Section

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 35 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1     11-74.4-8 only, shall be not more than 35 years for
2     redevelopment project areas that were established on or
3     after December 1, 1981 but before January 1, 1982 and for
4     which at least $1,500,000 worth of tax increment revenue
5     bonds were authorized on or after September 30, 1990 but
6     before July 1, 1991; provided that the municipality elects
7     to extend the life of the redevelopment project area to 35
8     years by the adoption of an ordinance after at least 14 but
9     not more than 30 days' written notice to the taxing bodies,
10     that would otherwise constitute the joint review board for
11     the redevelopment project area, before the adoption of the
12     ordinance.
13         (3.5) The municipality finds, in the case of an
14     industrial park conservation area, also that the
15     municipality is a labor surplus municipality and that the
16     implementation of the redevelopment plan will reduce
17     unemployment, create new jobs and by the provision of new
18     facilities enhance the tax base of the taxing districts
19     that extend into the redevelopment project area.
20         (4) If any incremental revenues are being utilized
21     under Section 8(a)(1) or 8(a)(2) of this Act in
22     redevelopment project areas approved by ordinance after
23     January 1, 1986, the municipality finds: (a) that the
24     redevelopment project area would not reasonably be
25     developed without the use of such incremental revenues, and
26     (b) that such incremental revenues will be exclusively

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 36 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1     utilized for the development of the redevelopment project
2     area.
3         (5) If the redevelopment plan will not result in
4     displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
5     residential units, and the municipality certifies in the
6     plan that such displacement will not result from the plan,
7     a housing impact study need not be performed. If, however,
8     the redevelopment plan would result in the displacement of
9     residents from 10 or more inhabited residential units, or
10     if the redevelopment project area contains 75 or more
11     inhabited residential units and no certification is made,
12     then the municipality shall prepare, as part of the
13     separate feasibility report required by subsection (a) of
14     Section 11-74.4-5, a housing impact study.
15         Part I of the housing impact study shall include (i)
16     data as to whether the residential units are single family
17     or multi-family units, (ii) the number and type of rooms
18     within the units, if that information is available, (iii)
19     whether the units are inhabited or uninhabited, as
20     determined not less than 45 days before the date that the
21     ordinance or resolution required by subsection (a) of
22     Section 11-74.4-5 is passed, and (iv) data as to the racial
23     and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited
24     residential units. The data requirement as to the racial
25     and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited
26     residential units shall be deemed to be fully satisfied by

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 37 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1     data from the most recent federal census.
2         Part II of the housing impact study shall identify the
3     inhabited residential units in the proposed redevelopment
4     project area that are to be or may be removed. If inhabited
5     residential units are to be removed, then the housing
6     impact study shall identify (i) the number and location of
7     those units that will or may be removed, (ii) the
8     municipality's plans for relocation assistance for those
9     residents in the proposed redevelopment project area whose
10     residences are to be removed, (iii) the availability of
11     replacement housing for those residents whose residences
12     are to be removed, and shall identify the type, location,
13     and cost of the housing, and (iv) the type and extent of
14     relocation assistance to be provided.
15         (6) On and after November 1, 1999, the housing impact
16     study required by paragraph (5) shall be incorporated in
17     the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment project area.
18         (7) On and after November 1, 1999, no redevelopment
19     plan shall be adopted, nor an existing plan amended, nor
20     shall residential housing that is occupied by households of
21     low-income and very low-income persons in currently
22     existing redevelopment project areas be removed after
23     November 1, 1999 unless the redevelopment plan provides,
24     with respect to inhabited housing units that are to be
25     removed for households of low-income and very low-income
26     persons, affordable housing and relocation assistance not

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 38 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1     less than that which would be provided under the federal
2     Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
3     Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and the regulations under
4     that Act, including the eligibility criteria. Affordable
5     housing may be either existing or newly constructed
6     housing. For purposes of this paragraph (7), "low-income
7     households", "very low-income households", and "affordable
8     housing" have the meanings set forth in the Illinois
9     Affordable Housing Act. The municipality shall make a good
10     faith effort to ensure that this affordable housing is
11     located in or near the redevelopment project area within
12     the municipality.
13         (8) On and after November 1, 1999, if, after the
14     adoption of the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment
15     project area, any municipality desires to amend its
16     redevelopment plan to remove more inhabited residential
17     units than specified in its original redevelopment plan,
18     that change shall be made in accordance with the procedures
19     in subsection (c) of Section 11-74.4-5.
20         (9) For redevelopment project areas designated prior
21     to November 1, 1999, the redevelopment plan may be amended
22     without further joint review board meeting or hearing,
23     provided that the municipality shall give notice of any
24     such changes by mail to each affected taxing district and
25     registrant on the interested party registry, to authorize
26     the municipality to expend tax increment revenues for

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 39 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1     redevelopment project costs defined by paragraphs (5) and
2     (7.5), subparagraphs (E) and (F) of paragraph (11), and
3     paragraph (11.5) of subsection (q) of Section 11-74.4-3, so
4     long as the changes do not increase the total estimated
5     redevelopment project costs set out in the redevelopment
6     plan by more than 5% after adjustment for inflation from
7     the date the plan was adopted.
8     (o) "Redevelopment project" means any public and private
9 development project in furtherance of the objectives of a
10 redevelopment plan. On and after November 1, 1999 (the
11 effective date of Public Act 91-478), no redevelopment plan may

13 land (i) with a golf course and related clubhouse and other
14 facilities or (ii) designated by federal, State, county, or
15 municipal government as public land for outdoor recreational
16 activities or for nature preserves and used for that purpose

25 blighted area or a conservation area, or a combination of both
26 blighted areas and conservation areas.

15     professional services, excluding architectural and
16     engineering services, may be entered into if the terms of
17     the contract extend beyond a period of 3 years. In
18     addition, "redevelopment project costs" shall not include
19     lobbying expenses. After consultation with the
20     municipality, each tax increment consultant or advisor to a

7     by the consultant or advisor;
8         (1.5) After July 1, 1999, annual administrative costs
9     shall not include general overhead or administrative costs
10     of the municipality that would still have been incurred by
11     the municipality if the municipality had not designated a
12     redevelopment project area or approved a redevelopment
13     plan;
14         (1.6) The cost of marketing sites within the
15     redevelopment project area to prospective businesses,

14     and that is not intended to replace an existing public
15     building as provided under paragraph (3) of subsection (q)
16     of Section 11-74.4-3 unless either (i) the construction of

18     project that was included in a redevelopment plan that was
19     adopted by the municipality prior to November 1, 1999 or
20     (ii) the municipality makes a reasonable determination in
21     the redevelopment plan, supported by information that
22     provides the basis for that determination, that the new

25     the implementation of the redevelopment plan;
26         (5) Costs of job training and retraining projects,

19     redevelopment project areas amended to add or increase the

1         project area. If the low and very low-income units are
2         part of a residential redevelopment project that
3         includes units not affordable to low and very
4         low-income households, only the low and very
5         low-income units shall be eligible for benefits under
6         subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11). The standards for
7         maintaining the occupancy by low-income households and
8         very low-income households, as defined in Section 3 of
9         the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, of those units
10         constructed with eligible costs made available under
11         the provisions of this subparagraph (F) of paragraph
12         (11) shall be established by guidelines adopted by the
13         municipality. The responsibility for annually
14         documenting the initial occupancy of the units by
15         low-income households and very low-income households,
16         as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable
17         Housing Act, shall be that of the then current owner of
18         the property. For ownership units, the guidelines will
19         provide, at a minimum, for a reasonable recapture of
20         funds, or other appropriate methods designed to
21         preserve the original affordability of the ownership
22         units. For rental units, the guidelines will provide,
23         at a minimum, for the affordability of rent to low and
24         very low-income households. As units become available,
25         they shall be rented to income-eligible tenants. The
26         municipality may modify these guidelines from time to

1         time; the guidelines, however, shall be in effect for
2         as long as tax increment revenue is being used to pay
3         for costs associated with the units or for the
4         retirement of bonds issued to finance the units or for
5         the life of the redevelopment project area, whichever
6         is later.
7         (11.5) If the redevelopment project area is located
8     within a municipality with a population of more than
9     100,000, the cost of day care services for children of
10     employees from low-income families working for businesses
11     located within the redevelopment project area and all or a
12     portion of the cost of operation of day care centers
13     established by redevelopment project area businesses to
14     serve employees from low-income families working in
15     businesses located in the redevelopment project area. For
16     the purposes of this paragraph, "low-income families"
17     means families whose annual income does not exceed 80% of
18     the municipal, county, or regional median income, adjusted
19     for family size, as the annual income and municipal,
20     county, or regional median income are determined from time
21     to time by the United States Department of Housing and
22     Urban Development.
23         (12) Unless explicitly stated herein the cost of
24     construction of new privately-owned buildings shall not be
25     an eligible redevelopment project cost.

1     Public Act 91-478), none of the redevelopment project costs
2     enumerated in this subsection shall be eligible
3     redevelopment project costs if those costs would provide
4     direct financial support to a retail entity initiating
5     operations in the redevelopment project area while
6     terminating operations at another Illinois location within
7     10 miles of the redevelopment project area but outside the
8     boundaries of the redevelopment project area municipality.
9     For purposes of this paragraph, termination means a closing
10     of a retail operation that is directly related to the
11     opening of the same operation or like retail entity owned
12     or operated by more than 50% of the original ownership in a
13     redevelopment project area, but it does not mean closing an
14     operation for reasons beyond the control of the retail
15     entity, as documented by the retail entity, subject to a
16     reasonable finding by the municipality that the current
17     location contained inadequate space, had become
18     economically obsolete, or was no longer a viable location
19     for the retailer or serviceman.
20     If a special service area has been established pursuant to
21 the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special Service Area Tax
22 Law, then any tax increment revenues derived from the tax
23 imposed pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special
24 Service Area Tax Law may be used within the redevelopment
25 project area for the purposes permitted by that Act or Law as
26 well as the purposes permitted by this Act.

4 cover its costs of administering and enforcing this Section.
5 For purposes of computing the aggregate amount of such taxes
6 for base years occurring prior to 1985, the Department of
7 Revenue shall compute the Initial Sales Tax Amount for such
8 taxes and deduct therefrom an amount equal to 4% of the
9 aggregate amount of taxes per year for each year the base year
10 is prior to 1985, but not to exceed a total deduction of 12%.
11 The amount so determined shall be known as the "Adjusted

16 Sales Tax Boundary, the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts,
17 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or Revised Initial Sales Tax
18 Amounts for the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act,
19 the Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act. For
20 the State Fiscal Year 1989 this calculation shall be made by
21 utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax amounts
22 received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this calculation
23 shall be made by utilizing the period from January 1, 1988,
24 until September 30, 1988, to determine the tax amounts received
25 from retailers and servicemen, which shall have deducted
26 therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax

4 period from October 1, 1988, until June 30, 1989, to determine
5 the tax amounts received from retailers and servicemen, which
6 shall have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified
7 Initial State Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax
8 Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts as
9 appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year thereafter, the
10 applicable period shall be the 12 months beginning July 1 and
11 ending on June 30, to determine the tax amounts received which
12 shall have deducted therefrom the certified Initial Sales Tax
13 Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
14 Initial Sales Tax Amounts. Municipalities intending to receive
15 a distribution of State Sales Tax Increment must report a list
16 of retailers to the Department of Revenue by October 31, 1988
17 and by July 31, of each year thereafter.

9 has been subdivided; provided that if the parcel was part of a
10 larger tract that has been divided into 3 or more smaller
11 tracts that were accepted for recording during the period from
12 1950 to 1990, then the parcel shall be deemed to have been
13 subdivided, and all proceedings and actions of the municipality

20     Sec. 11-74.4-7. Obligations secured by the special tax
21 allocation fund set forth in Section 11-74.4-8 for the
22 redevelopment project area may be issued to provide for
23 redevelopment project costs. Such obligations, when so issued,
24 shall be retired in the manner provided in the ordinance
25 authorizing the issuance of such obligations by the receipts of

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 62 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1 taxes levied as specified in Section 11-74.4-9 against the
2 taxable property included in the area, by revenues as specified
3 by Section 11-74.4-8a and other revenue designated by the
4 municipality. A municipality may in the ordinance pledge all or
5 any part of the funds in and to be deposited in the special tax
6 allocation fund created pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8 to the
7 payment of the redevelopment project costs and obligations. Any
8 pledge of funds in the special tax allocation fund shall
9 provide for distribution to the taxing districts and to the
10 Illinois Department of Revenue of moneys not required, pledged,
11 earmarked, or otherwise designated for payment and securing of
12 the obligations and anticipated redevelopment project costs
13 and such excess funds shall be calculated annually and deemed
14 to be "surplus" funds. In the event a municipality only applies
15 or pledges a portion of the funds in the special tax allocation
16 fund for the payment or securing of anticipated redevelopment
17 project costs or of obligations, any such funds remaining in
18 the special tax allocation fund after complying with the
19 requirements of the application or pledge, shall also be
20 calculated annually and deemed "surplus" funds. All surplus
21 funds in the special tax allocation fund shall be distributed
22 annually within 180 days after the close of the municipality's
23 fiscal year by being paid by the municipal treasurer to the
24 County Collector, to the Department of Revenue and to the
25 municipality in direct proportion to the tax incremental
26 revenue received as a result of an increase in the equalized

 

 

09500HB2332ham001 - 63 - LRB095 01503 HLH 48905 a

1 assessed value of property in the redevelopment project area,
2 tax incremental revenue received from the State and tax
3 incremental revenue received from the municipality, but not to
4 exceed as to each such source the total incremental revenue
5 received from that source. The County Collector shall
6 thereafter make distribution to the respective taxing
7 districts in the same manner and proportion as the most recent
8 distribution by the county collector to the affected districts
9 of real property taxes from real property in the redevelopment
10 project area.
11     Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the
12 municipality may in addition to obligations secured by the
13 special tax allocation fund pledge for a period not greater
14 than the term of the obligations towards payment of such
15 obligations any part or any combination of the following: (a)
16 net revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project; (b)
17 taxes levied and collected on any or all property in the
18 municipality; (c) the full faith and credit of the
19 municipality; (d) a mortgage on part or all of the
20 redevelopment project; or (e) any other taxes or anticipated
21 receipts that the municipality may lawfully pledge.
22     Such obligations may be issued in one or more series
23 bearing interest at such rate or rates as the corporate
24 authorities of the municipality shall determine by ordinance.
25 Such obligations shall bear such date or dates, mature at such
26 time or times not exceeding 20 years from their respective

2 privileges, be executed in such manner, be payable in such
3 medium of payment at such place or places, contain such
4 covenants, terms and conditions, and be subject to redemption
5 as such ordinance shall provide. Obligations issued pursuant to
6 this Act may be sold at public or private sale at such price as
7 shall be determined by the corporate authorities of the
8 municipalities. No referendum approval of the electors shall be
9 required as a condition to the issuance of obligations pursuant
10 to this Division except as provided in this Section.
11     In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
12 obligations pursuant to the authority of this Division secured
13 by the full faith and credit of the municipality, which
14 obligations are other than obligations which may be issued
15 under home rule powers provided by Article VII, Section 6 of
16 the Illinois Constitution, or pledges taxes pursuant to (b) or
17 (c) of the second paragraph of this section, the ordinance
18 authorizing the issuance of such obligations or pledging such
19 taxes shall be published within 10 days after such ordinance
20 has been passed in one or more newspapers, with general
21 circulation within such municipality. The publication of the
22 ordinance shall be accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific
23 number of voters required to sign a petition requesting the
24 question of the issuance of such obligations or pledging taxes
25 to be submitted to the electors; (2) the time in which such
26 petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective

2 to any individual requesting one.
3     If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as
4 hereinafter provided in this Section, within 30 days after the
5 publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in effect.

12 municipality, which levy, however, shall be abated to the
13 extent that monies from other sources are available for payment
14 of the obligations and the municipality certifies the amount of
15 said monies available to the county clerk.
16     A certified copy of such ordinance shall be filed with the
17 county clerk of each county in which any portion of the
18 municipality is situated, and shall constitute the authority
19 for the extension and collection of the taxes to be deposited
20 in the special tax allocation fund.
21     A municipality may also issue its obligations to refund in
22 whole or in part, obligations theretofore issued by such
