HB4330 LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     AN ACT concerning local government.
 
2     Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
 
4     Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
5 changing Sections 11-74.4-3 and 11-74.4-7 as follows:
 
6     (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-3)  (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-3)
7     (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 94-702 and
8 94-711)
9     Sec. 11-74.4-3. Definitions. The following terms, wherever
10 used or referred to in this Division 74.4 shall have the
11 following respective meanings, unless in any case a different
12 meaning clearly appears from the context.
13     (a) For any redevelopment project area that has been
14 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
15 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
16 91-478), "blighted area" shall have the meaning set forth in
17 this Section prior to that date.
18     On and after November 1, 1999, "blighted area" means any
19 improved or vacant area within the boundaries of a
20 redevelopment project area located within the territorial
21 limits of the municipality where:
22         (1) If improved, industrial, commercial, and
23     residential buildings or improvements are detrimental to
24     the public safety, health, or welfare because of a
25     combination of 5 or more of the following factors, each of
26     which is (i) present, with that presence documented, to a
27     meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
28     find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
29     of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the
30     improved part of the redevelopment project area:
31             (A) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair
32         or neglect of necessary repairs to the primary

 

 

HB4330 - 2 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         structural components of buildings or improvements in
2         such a combination that a documented building
3         condition analysis determines that major repair is
4         required or the defects are so serious and so extensive
5         that the buildings must be removed.
6             (B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of
7         falling into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited
8         for the original use.
9             (C) Deterioration. With respect to buildings,
10         defects including, but not limited to, major defects in
11         the secondary building components such as doors,
12         windows, porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia.
13         With respect to surface improvements, that the
14         condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters,
15         sidewalks, off-street parking, and surface storage
16         areas evidence deterioration, including, but not
17         limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
18         depressions, loose paving material, and weeds
19         protruding through paved surfaces.
20             (D) Presence of structures below minimum code
21         standards. All structures that do not meet the
22         standards of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and
23         other governmental codes applicable to property, but
24         not including housing and property maintenance codes.
25             (E) Illegal use of individual structures. The use
26         of structures in violation of applicable federal,
27         State, or local laws, exclusive of those applicable to
28         the presence of structures below minimum code
29         standards.
30             (F) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
31         that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that
32         represent an adverse influence on the area because of
33         the frequency, extent, or duration of the vacancies.
34             (G) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
35         facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for
36         light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without

 

 

HB4330 - 3 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor,
2         gas, smoke, or other noxious airborne materials.
3         Inadequate natural light and ventilation means the
4         absence of skylights or windows for interior spaces or
5         rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by room
6         area to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary
7         facilities refers to the absence or inadequacy of
8         garbage storage and enclosure, bathroom facilities,
9         hot water and kitchens, and structural inadequacies
10         preventing ingress and egress to and from all rooms and
11         units within a building.
12             (H) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
13         utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
14         sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and
15         electrical services that are shown to be inadequate.
16         Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
17         insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
18         redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated,
19         antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii)
20         lacking within the redevelopment project area.
21             (I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
22         structures and community facilities. The
23         over-intensive use of property and the crowding of
24         buildings and accessory facilities onto a site.
25         Examples of problem conditions warranting the
26         designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive land
27         coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings either
28         improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels of
29         inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
30         standards of development for health and safety and (ii)
31         the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
32         For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
33         these parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
34         conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
35         within or around buildings, increased threat of spread
36         of fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack

 

 

HB4330 - 4 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         of adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way,
2         lack of reasonably required off-street parking, or
3         inadequate provision for loading and service.
4             (J) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence
5         of incompatible land-use relationships, buildings
6         occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses
7         considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for
8         the surrounding area.
9             (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed
10         redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois
11         Environmental Protection Agency or United States
12         Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for,
13         or a study conducted by an independent consultant
14         recognized as having expertise in environmental
15         remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
16         hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground
17         storage tanks required by State or federal law,
18         provided that the remediation costs constitute a
19         material impediment to the development or
20         redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
21             (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed
22         redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
23         without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.
24         This means that the development occurred prior to the
25         adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive or
26         other community plan or that the plan was not followed
27         at the time of the area's development. This factor must
28         be documented by evidence of adverse or incompatible
29         land-use relationships, inadequate street layout,
30         improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and
31         size to meet contemporary development standards, or
32         other evidence demonstrating an absence of effective
33         community planning.
34             (M) The total equalized assessed value of the
35         proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
36         of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which

 

 

HB4330 - 5 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         the redevelopment project area is designated or is
2         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
3         balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
4         calendar years for which information is available or is
5         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
6         Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
7         by the United States Department of Labor or successor
8         agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the
9         year in which the redevelopment project area is
10         designated.
11         (2) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
12     project area is impaired by a combination of 2 or more of
13     the following factors, each of which is (i) present, with
14     that presence documented, to a meaningful extent so that a
15     municipality may reasonably find that the factor is clearly
16     present within the intent of the Act and (ii) reasonably
17     distributed throughout the vacant part of the
18     redevelopment project area to which it pertains:
19             (A) Obsolete platting of vacant land that results
20         in parcels of limited or narrow size or configurations
21         of parcels of irregular size or shape that would be
22         difficult to develop on a planned basis and in a manner
23         compatible with contemporary standards and
24         requirements, or platting that failed to create
25         rights-of-ways for streets or alleys or that created
26         inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys, or
27         other public rights-of-way or that omitted easements
28         for public utilities.
29             (B) Diversity of ownership of parcels of vacant
30         land sufficient in number to retard or impede the
31         ability to assemble the land for development.
32             (C) Tax and special assessment delinquencies exist
33         or the property has been the subject of tax sales under
34         the Property Tax Code within the last 5 years.
35             (D) Deterioration of structures or site
36         improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the

 

 

HB4330 - 6 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         vacant land.
2             (E) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
3         Protection Agency or United States Environmental
4         Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
5         conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
6         having expertise in environmental remediation has
7         determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
8         hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
9         required by State or federal law, provided that the
10         remediation costs constitute a material impediment to
11         the development or redevelopment of the redevelopment
12         project area.
13             (F) The total equalized assessed value of the
14         proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
15         of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
16         the redevelopment project area is designated or is
17         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
18         balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
19         calendar years for which information is available or is
20         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
21         Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
22         by the United States Department of Labor or successor
23         agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the
24         year in which the redevelopment project area is
25         designated.
26         (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
27     project area is impaired by one of the following factors
28     that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a
29     meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
30     find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
31     of the Act and (ii) is reasonably distributed throughout
32     the vacant part of the redevelopment project area to which
33     it pertains:
34             (A) The area consists of one or more unused
35         quarries, mines, or strip mine ponds.
36             (B) The area consists of unused rail yards, rail

 

 

HB4330 - 7 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         tracks, or railroad rights-of-way.
2             (C) The area, prior to its designation, is subject
3         to (i) chronic flooding that adversely impacts on real
4         property in the area as certified by a registered
5         professional engineer or appropriate regulatory agency
6         or (ii) surface water that discharges from all or a
7         part of the area and contributes to flooding within the
8         same watershed, but only if the redevelopment project
9         provides for facilities or improvements to contribute
10         to the alleviation of all or part of the flooding.
11             (D) The area consists of an unused or illegal
12         disposal site containing earth, stone, building
13         debris, or similar materials that were removed from
14         construction, demolition, excavation, or dredge sites.
15             (E) Prior to November 1, 1999, the area is not less
16         than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75% of which is
17         vacant (notwithstanding that the area has been used for
18         commercial agricultural purposes within 5 years prior
19         to the designation of the redevelopment project area),
20         and the area meets at least one of the factors itemized
21         in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the area has been
22         designated as a town or village center by ordinance or
23         comprehensive plan adopted prior to January 1, 1982,
24         and the area has not been developed for that designated
25         purpose.
26             (F) The area qualified as a blighted improved area
27         immediately prior to becoming vacant, unless there has
28         been substantial private investment in the immediately
29         surrounding area.
30     (b) For any redevelopment project area that has been
31 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
32 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
33 91-478), "conservation area" shall have the meaning set forth
34 in this Section prior to that date.
35     On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means
36 any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment

 

 

HB4330 - 8 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1 project area located within the territorial limits of the
2 municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area
3 have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not yet a
4 blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more of the
5 following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health,
6 morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
7         (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or
8     neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural
9     components of buildings or improvements in such a
10     combination that a documented building condition analysis
11     determines that major repair is required or the defects are
12     so serious and so extensive that the buildings must be
13     removed.
14         (2) Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling
15     into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited for the
16     original use.
17         (3) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects
18     including, but not limited to, major defects in the
19     secondary building components such as doors, windows,
20     porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia. With respect
21     to surface improvements, that the condition of roadways,
22     alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking, and
23     surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including,
24     but not limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
25     depressions, loose paving material, and weeds protruding
26     through paved surfaces.
27         (4) Presence of structures below minimum code
28     standards. All structures that do not meet the standards of
29     zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and other

32         (5) Illegal use of individual structures. The use of
33     structures in violation of applicable federal, State, or
34     local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the presence
35     of structures below minimum code standards.
36         (6) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings

 

 

HB4330 - 9 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent an
2     adverse influence on the area because of the frequency,
3     extent, or duration of the vacancies.
4         (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
5     facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for light
6     or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or
7     that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or
8     other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate natural light
9     and ventilation means the absence or inadequacy of
10     skylights or windows for interior spaces or rooms and
11     improper window sizes and amounts by room area to window
12     area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities refers to the
13     absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure,
14     bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and
15     structural inadequacies preventing ingress and egress to
16     and from all rooms and units within a building.
17         (8) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
18     utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage, sanitary
19     sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and electrical
20     services that are shown to be inadequate. Inadequate
21     utilities are those that are: (i) of insufficient capacity
22     to serve the uses in the redevelopment project area, (ii)
23     deteriorated, antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or
24     (iii) lacking within the redevelopment project area.
25         (9) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
26     structures and community facilities. The over-intensive
27     use of property and the crowding of buildings and accessory
28     facilities onto a site. Examples of problem conditions
29     warranting the designation of an area as one exhibiting
30     excessive land coverage are: the presence of buildings
31     either improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels
32     of inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
33     standards of development for health and safety and the
34     presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel. For
35     there to be a finding of excessive land coverage, these
36     parcels must exhibit one or more of the following

 

 

HB4330 - 10 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
2     within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of
3     fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of
4     adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, lack of
5     reasonably required off-street parking, or inadequate
6     provision for loading and service.
7         (10) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence of
8     incompatible land-use relationships, buildings occupied by
9     inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses considered to be
10     noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for the surrounding
11     area.
12         (11) Lack of community planning. The proposed
13     redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
14     without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This
15     means that the development occurred prior to the adoption
16     by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community
17     plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the
18     area's development. This factor must be documented by
19     evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use
20     relationships, inadequate street layout, improper
21     subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet
22     contemporary development standards, or other evidence
23     demonstrating an absence of effective community planning.
24         (12) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
25     Protection Agency or United States Environmental
26     Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
27     conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
28     having expertise in environmental remediation has
29     determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
30     hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
31     required by State or federal law, provided that the
32     remediation costs constitute a material impediment to the
33     development or redevelopment of the redevelopment project
34     area.
35         (13) The total equalized assessed value of the proposed
36     redevelopment project area has declined for 3 of the last 5

5     annual rate that is less than the Consumer Price Index for
6     All Urban Consumers published by the United States
7     Department of Labor or successor agency for 3 of the last 5
8     calendar years for which information is available.
9     (c) "Industrial park" means an area in a blighted or
10 conservation area suitable for use by any manufacturing,
11 industrial, research or transportation enterprise, of
12 facilities to include but not be limited to factories, mills,
13 processing plants, assembly plants, packing plants,
14 fabricating plants, industrial distribution centers,
15 warehouses, repair overhaul or service facilities, freight
16 terminals, research facilities, test facilities or railroad
17 facilities.
18     (d) "Industrial park conservation area" means an area
19 within the boundaries of a redevelopment project area located
20 within the territorial limits of a municipality that is a labor
21 surplus municipality or within 1 1/2 miles of the territorial
22 limits of a municipality that is a labor surplus municipality
23 if the area is annexed to the municipality; which area is zoned
24 as industrial no later than at the time the municipality by
25 ordinance designates the redevelopment project area, and which
26 area includes both vacant land suitable for use as an
27 industrial park and a blighted area or conservation area
28 contiguous to such vacant land.
29     (e) "Labor surplus municipality" means a municipality in
30 which, at any time during the 6 months before the municipality
31 by ordinance designates an industrial park conservation area,
32 the unemployment rate was over 6% and was also 100% or more of

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

 

 

HB4330 - 14 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1 nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts,
2 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales
3 Tax Amounts as appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year
4 thereafter, the applicable period shall be the 12 months
5 beginning July 1 and ending June 30 to determine the tax
6 amounts received which shall have deducted therefrom the
7 certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales
8 Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts, as the
9 case may be.
10     (i) "Net State Sales Tax Increment" means the sum of the
11 following: (a) 80% of the first $100,000 of State Sales Tax
12 Increment annually generated within a State Sales Tax Boundary;
13 (b) 60% of the amount in excess of $100,000 but not exceeding
14 $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually generated within
15 a State Sales Tax Boundary; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
16 excess of $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually
17 generated within a State Sales Tax Boundary. If, however, a
18 municipality established a tax increment financing district in
19 a county with a population in excess of 3,000,000 before
20 January 1, 1986, and the municipality entered into a contract
21 or issued bonds after January 1, 1986, but before December 31,
22 1986, to finance redevelopment project costs within a State
23 Sales Tax Boundary, then the Net State Sales Tax Increment
24 means, for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990, and July 1,
25 1991, 100% of the State Sales Tax Increment annually generated
26 within a State Sales Tax Boundary; and notwithstanding any
27 other provision of this Act, for those fiscal years the
28 Department of Revenue shall distribute to those municipalities
29 100% of their Net State Sales Tax Increment before any
30 distribution to any other municipality and regardless of
31 whether or not those other municipalities will receive 100% of
32 their Net State Sales Tax Increment. For Fiscal Year 1999, and
33 every year thereafter until the year 2007, for any municipality
34 that has not entered into a contract or has not issued bonds
35 prior to June 1, 1988 to finance redevelopment project costs
36 within a State Sales Tax Boundary, the Net State Sales Tax

 

 

HB4330 - 15 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

13 project in a redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988,
14 shall continue to receive their proportional share of the
15 Illinois Tax Increment Fund distribution until the date on
16 which the redevelopment project is completed or terminated. If,
17 however, a municipality that issued bonds in connection with a
18 redevelopment project in a redevelopment project area within
19 the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991 retires the
20 bonds prior to June 30, 2007 or a municipality that entered
21 into contracts in connection with a redevelopment project in a
22 redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988 completes the
23 contracts prior to June 30, 2007, then so long as the
24 redevelopment project is not completed or is not terminated,
25 the Net State Sales Tax Increment shall be calculated,
26 beginning on the date on which the bonds are retired or the
27 contracts are completed, as follows: By multiplying the Net
28 State Sales Tax Increment by 60% in the State Fiscal Year 2002;
29 50% in the State Fiscal Year 2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year
30 2004; 30% in the State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State
31 Fiscal Year 2006; and 10% in the State Fiscal Year 2007. No
32 payment shall be made for State Fiscal Year 2008 and
33 thereafter. Refunding of any bonds issued prior to July 29,
34 1991, shall not alter the Net State Sales Tax Increment.
35     (j) "State Utility Tax Increment Amount" means an amount

5 the Department of Revenue and paid by owners and tenants, other
6 than residential customers, of properties within the
7 redevelopment project area during the base year, which shall be
8 the calendar year immediately prior to the year of the adoption
9 of the ordinance authorizing tax increment allocation
10 financing.
11     (k) "Net State Utility Tax Increment" means the sum of the
12 following: (a) 80% of the first $100,000 of State Utility Tax
13 Increment annually generated by a redevelopment project area;
14 (b) 60% of the amount in excess of $100,000 but not exceeding
15 $500,000 of the State Utility Tax Increment annually generated
16 by a redevelopment project area; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
17 excess of $500,000 of State Utility Tax Increment annually
18 generated by a redevelopment project area. For the State Fiscal
19 Year 1999, and every year thereafter until the year 2007, for
20 any municipality that has not entered into a contract or has
21 not issued bonds prior to June 1, 1988 to finance redevelopment
22 project costs within a redevelopment project area, the Net
23 State Utility Tax Increment shall be calculated as follows: By
24 multiplying the Net State Utility Tax Increment by 90% in the
25 State Fiscal Year 1999; 80% in the State Fiscal Year 2000; 70%
26 in the State Fiscal Year 2001; 60% in the State Fiscal Year
27 2002; 50% in the State Fiscal Year 2003; 40% in the State

36 appropriation, for 15 State Fiscal Years after the issuance of

 

 

HB4330 - 17 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1 such bonds. For the 16th through the 20th State Fiscal Years
2 after issuance of the bonds, the Net State Utility Tax
3 Increment shall be calculated as follows: By multiplying the
4 Net State Utility Tax Increment by 90% in year 16; 80% in year
5 17; 70% in year 18; 60% in year 19; and 50% in year 20.

19 property and adopted tax increment allocation financing and
20 which would result from levies made after the time of the
21 adoption of tax increment allocation financing to the time the

18     which at least $1,500,000 worth of tax increment revenue
19     bonds were authorized on or after September 30, 1990 but
20     before July 1, 1991; provided that the municipality elects
21     to extend the life of the redevelopment project area to 35
22     years by the adoption of an ordinance after at least 14 but
23     not more than 30 days' written notice to the taxing bodies,
24     that would otherwise constitute the joint review board for
25     the redevelopment project area, before the adoption of the
26     ordinance.
27         (3.5) The municipality finds, in the case of an
28     industrial park conservation area, also that the
29     municipality is a labor surplus municipality and that the
30     implementation of the redevelopment plan will reduce
31     unemployment, create new jobs and by the provision of new
32     facilities enhance the tax base of the taxing districts
33     that extend into the redevelopment project area.
34         (4) If any incremental revenues are being utilized
35     under Section 8(a)(1) or 8(a)(2) of this Act in
36     redevelopment project areas approved by ordinance after

 

 

HB4330 - 25 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     January 1, 1986, the municipality finds: (a) that the
2     redevelopment project area would not reasonably be
3     developed without the use of such incremental revenues, and
4     (b) that such incremental revenues will be exclusively
5     utilized for the development of the redevelopment project
6     area.
7         (5) If the redevelopment plan will not result in
8     displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
9     residential units, and the municipality certifies in the
10     plan that such displacement will not result from the plan,
11     a housing impact study need not be performed. If, however,
12     the redevelopment plan would result in the displacement of
13     residents from 10 or more inhabited residential units, or
14     if the redevelopment project area contains 75 or more
15     inhabited residential units and no certification is made,
16     then the municipality shall prepare, as part of the
17     separate feasibility report required by subsection (a) of
18     Section 11-74.4-5, a housing impact study.
19         Part I of the housing impact study shall include (i)
20     data as to whether the residential units are single family
21     or multi-family units, (ii) the number and type of rooms
22     within the units, if that information is available, (iii)
23     whether the units are inhabited or uninhabited, as
24     determined not less than 45 days before the date that the
25     ordinance or resolution required by subsection (a) of
26     Section 11-74.4-5 is passed, and (iv) data as to the racial
27     and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited
28     residential units. The data requirement as to the racial
29     and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited
30     residential units shall be deemed to be fully satisfied by
31     data from the most recent federal census.
32         Part II of the housing impact study shall identify the
33     inhabited residential units in the proposed redevelopment
34     project area that are to be or may be removed. If inhabited
35     residential units are to be removed, then the housing
36     impact study shall identify (i) the number and location of

 

 

HB4330 - 26 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     those units that will or may be removed, (ii) the
2     municipality's plans for relocation assistance for those
3     residents in the proposed redevelopment project area whose
4     residences are to be removed, (iii) the availability of
5     replacement housing for those residents whose residences
6     are to be removed, and shall identify the type, location,
7     and cost of the housing, and (iv) the type and extent of
8     relocation assistance to be provided.
9         (6) On and after November 1, 1999, the housing impact
10     study required by paragraph (5) shall be incorporated in
11     the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment project area.
12         (7) On and after November 1, 1999, no redevelopment
13     plan shall be adopted, nor an existing plan amended, nor
14     shall residential housing that is occupied by households of
15     low-income and very low-income persons in currently
16     existing redevelopment project areas be removed after
17     November 1, 1999 unless the redevelopment plan provides,
18     with respect to inhabited housing units that are to be
19     removed for households of low-income and very low-income
20     persons, affordable housing and relocation assistance not
21     less than that which would be provided under the federal
22     Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
23     Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and the regulations under
24     that Act, including the eligibility criteria. Affordable
25     housing may be either existing or newly constructed
26     housing. For purposes of this paragraph (7), "low-income
27     households", "very low-income households", and "affordable
28     housing" have the meanings set forth in the Illinois
29     Affordable Housing Act. The municipality shall make a good
30     faith effort to ensure that this affordable housing is
31     located in or near the redevelopment project area within
32     the municipality.
33         (8) On and after November 1, 1999, if, after the
34     adoption of the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment
35     project area, any municipality desires to amend its
36     redevelopment plan to remove more inhabited residential

 

 

HB4330 - 27 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     units than specified in its original redevelopment plan,
2     that change shall be made in accordance with the procedures
3     in subsection (c) of Section 11-74.4-5.
4         (9) For redevelopment project areas designated prior
5     to November 1, 1999, the redevelopment plan may be amended
6     without further joint review board meeting or hearing,
7     provided that the municipality shall give notice of any
8     such changes by mail to each affected taxing district and
9     registrant on the interested party registry, to authorize
10     the municipality to expend tax increment revenues for
11     redevelopment project costs defined by paragraphs (5) and
12     (7.5), subparagraphs (E) and (F) of paragraph (11), and
13     paragraph (11.5) of subsection (q) of Section 11-74.4-3, so
14     long as the changes do not increase the total estimated
15     redevelopment project costs set out in the redevelopment
16     plan by more than 5% after adjustment for inflation from
17     the date the plan was adopted.
18     (o) "Redevelopment project" means any public and private
19 development project in furtherance of the objectives of a
20 redevelopment plan. On and after November 1, 1999 (the
21 effective date of Public Act 91-478), no redevelopment plan may
22 be approved or amended that includes the development of vacant
23 land (i) with a golf course and related clubhouse and other
24 facilities or (ii) designated by federal, State, county, or
25 municipal government as public land for outdoor recreational
26 activities or for nature preserves and used for that purpose
27 within 5 years prior to the adoption of the redevelopment plan.
28 For the purpose of this subsection, "recreational activities"
29 is limited to mean camping and hunting.
30     (p) "Redevelopment project area" means an area designated
31 by the municipality, which is not less in the aggregate than 1
32 1/2 acres and in respect to which the municipality has made a
33 finding that there exist conditions which cause the area to be
34 classified as an industrial park conservation area or a
35 blighted area or a conservation area, or a combination of both
36 blighted areas and conservation areas.

 

 

HB4330 - 28 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     (q) "Redevelopment project costs" mean and include the sum
2 total of all reasonable or necessary costs incurred or
3 estimated to be incurred, and any such costs incidental to a
4 redevelopment plan and a redevelopment project. Such costs
5 include, without limitation, the following:
6         (1) Costs of studies, surveys, development of plans,
7     and specifications, implementation and administration of
8     the redevelopment plan including but not limited to staff
9     and professional service costs for architectural,
10     engineering, legal, financial, planning or other services,
11     provided however that no charges for professional services
12     may be based on a percentage of the tax increment
13     collected; except that on and after November 1, 1999 (the
14     effective date of Public Act 91-478), no contracts for
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
21     municipality that plans to designate or has designated a
22     redevelopment project area shall inform the municipality
23     in writing of any contracts that the consultant or advisor
24     has entered into with entities or individuals that have
25     received, or are receiving, payments financed by tax
26     increment revenues produced by the redevelopment project
27     area with respect to which the consultant or advisor has
28     performed, or will be performing, service for the
29     municipality. This requirement shall be satisfied by the
30     consultant or advisor before the commencement of services
31     for the municipality and thereafter whenever any other
32     contracts with those individuals or entities are executed
33     by the consultant or advisor;
34         (1.5) After July 1, 1999, annual administrative costs
35     shall not include general overhead or administrative costs
36     of the municipality that would still have been incurred by

 

 

HB4330 - 29 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     the municipality if the municipality had not designated a
2     redevelopment project area or approved a redevelopment
3     plan;
4         (1.6) The cost of marketing sites within the
5     redevelopment project area to prospective businesses,

22     private investment;
23         (4) Costs of the construction of public works or

27     used to provide offices, storage space, or conference
28     facilities or vehicle storage, maintenance, or repair for
29     administrative, public safety, or public works personnel
30     and that is not intended to replace an existing public
31     building as provided under paragraph (3) of subsection (q)
32     of Section 11-74.4-3 unless either (i) the construction of
33     the new municipal building implements a redevelopment
34     project that was included in a redevelopment plan that was
35     adopted by the municipality prior to November 1, 1999 or
36     (ii) the municipality makes a reasonable determination in

 

 

HB4330 - 30 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     the redevelopment plan, supported by information that
2     provides the basis for that determination, that the new

4     need for public safety purposes anticipated to result from
5     the implementation of the redevelopment plan;
6         (5) Costs of job training and retraining projects,
7     including the cost of "welfare to work" programs
8     implemented by businesses located within the redevelopment

18         (7) To the extent the municipality by written agreement
19     accepts and approves the same, all or a portion of a taxing
20     district's capital costs resulting from the redevelopment
21     project necessarily incurred or to be incurred within a
22     taxing district in furtherance of the objectives of the
23     redevelopment plan and project.
24         (7.5) For redevelopment project areas designated (or
25     redevelopment project areas amended to add or increase the
26     number of tax-increment-financing assisted housing units)
27     on or after November 1, 1999, an elementary, secondary, or
28     unit school district's increased costs attributable to
29     assisted housing units located within the redevelopment
30     project area for which the developer or redeveloper
31     receives financial assistance through an agreement with
32     the municipality or because the municipality incurs the
33     cost of necessary infrastructure improvements within the
34     boundaries of the assisted housing sites necessary for the
35     completion of that housing as authorized by this Act, and
36     which costs shall be paid by the municipality from the

 

 

HB4330 - 31 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     Special Tax Allocation Fund when the tax increment revenue
2     is received as a result of the assisted housing units and
3     shall be calculated annually as follows:
4             (A) for foundation districts, excluding any school
5         district in a municipality with a population in excess
6         of 1,000,000, by multiplying the district's increase
7         in attendance resulting from the net increase in new
8         students enrolled in that school district who reside in
9         housing units within the redevelopment project area
10         that have received financial assistance through an
11         agreement with the municipality or because the

18         10-20.12a of the School Code less any increase in
19         general State aid as defined in Section 18-8.05 of the
20         School Code attributable to these added new students
21         subject to the following annual limitations:

4             (C) For any school district in a municipality with
5         a population in excess of 1,000,000, the following
6         restrictions shall apply to the reimbursement of
7         increased costs under this paragraph (7.5):
8                 (i) no increased costs shall be reimbursed
9             unless the school district certifies that each of
10             the schools affected by the assisted housing
11             project is at or over its student capacity;
12                 (ii) the amount reimbursable shall be reduced
13             by the value of any land donated to the school

24         with reasonable evidence to support its claim for
25         reimbursement before the municipality shall be

27         district. If the school district fails to provide the
28         information during this period in any year, it shall
29         forfeit any claim to reimbursement for that year.
30         School districts may adopt a resolution waiving the
31         right to all or a portion of the reimbursement
32         otherwise required by this paragraph (7.5). By
33         acceptance of this reimbursement the school district
34         waives the right to directly or indirectly set aside,
35         modify, or contest in any manner the establishment of
36         the redevelopment project area or projects;

1         (7.7) For redevelopment project areas designated (or
2     redevelopment project areas amended to add or increase the
3     number of tax-increment-financing assisted housing units)
4     on or after January 1, 2005 (the effective date of Public
5     Act 93-961), a public library district's increased costs
6     attributable to assisted housing units located within the
7     redevelopment project area for which the developer or
8     redeveloper receives financial assistance through an
9     agreement with the municipality or because the
10     municipality incurs the cost of necessary infrastructure
11     improvements within the boundaries of the assisted housing
12     sites necessary for the completion of that housing as
13     authorized by this Act shall be paid to the library
14     district by the municipality from the Special Tax
15     Allocation Fund when the tax increment revenue is received
16     as a result of the assisted housing units. This paragraph
17     (7.7) applies only if (i) the library district is located
18     in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension
19     Limitation Law or (ii) the library district is not located
20     in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension
21     Limitation Law but the district is prohibited by any other
22     law from increasing its tax levy rate without a prior voter
23     referendum.
24         The amount paid to a library district under this
25     paragraph (7.7) shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the
26     net increase in the number of persons eligible to obtain a
27     library card in that district who reside in housing units
28     within the redevelopment project area that have received
29     financial assistance through an agreement with the
30     municipality or because the municipality incurs the cost of
31     necessary infrastructure improvements within the
32     boundaries of the housing sites necessary for the
33     completion of that housing as authorized by this Act since
34     the designation of the redevelopment project area by (ii)
35     the per-patron cost of providing library services so long
36     as it does not exceed $120. The per-patron cost shall be

 

 

HB4330 - 35 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     the Total Operating Expenditures Per Capita as stated in
2     the most recent Illinois Public Library Statistics
3     produced by the Library Research Center at the University
4     of Illinois. The municipality may deduct from the amount
5     that it must pay to a library district under this paragraph
6     any amount that it has voluntarily paid to the library
7     district from the tax increment revenue. The amount paid to
8     a library district under this paragraph (7.7) shall be no
9     more than 2% of the amount produced by the assisted housing
10     units and deposited into the Special Tax Allocation Fund.
11         A library district is not eligible for any payment
12     under this paragraph (7.7) unless the library district has
13     experienced an increase in the number of patrons from the
14     municipality that created the tax-increment-financing
15     district since the designation of the redevelopment
16     project area.
17         Any library district seeking payment under this
18     paragraph (7.7) shall, after July 1 and before September 30
19     of each year, provide the municipality with convincing
20     evidence to support its claim for reimbursement before the
21     municipality shall be required to approve or make the
22     payment to the library district. If the library district
23     fails to provide the information during this period in any
24     year, it shall forfeit any claim to reimbursement for that
25     year. Library districts may adopt a resolution waiving the
26     right to all or a portion of the reimbursement otherwise
27     required by this paragraph (7.7). By acceptance of such
28     reimbursement, the library district shall forfeit any
29     right to directly or indirectly set aside, modify, or
30     contest in any manner whatsoever the establishment of the
31     redevelopment project area or projects;
32         (8) Relocation costs to the extent that a municipality
33     determines that relocation costs shall be paid or is
34     required to make payment of relocation costs by federal or
35     State law or in order to satisfy subparagraph (7) of
36     subsection (n);

6     by one or more taxing districts, provided that such costs
7     (i) are related to the establishment and maintenance of
8     additional job training, advanced vocational education or
9     career education programs for persons employed or to be
10     employed by employers located in a redevelopment project
11     area; and (ii) when incurred by a taxing district or taxing
12     districts other than the municipality, are set forth in a
13     written agreement by or among the municipality and the
14     taxing district or taxing districts, which agreement
15     describes the program to be undertaken, including but not
16     limited to the number of employees to be trained, a
17     description of the training and services to be provided,
18     the number and type of positions available or to be
19     available, itemized costs of the program and sources of
20     funds to pay for the same, and the term of the agreement.
21     Such costs include, specifically, the payment by community
22     college districts of costs pursuant to Sections 3-37, 3-38,
23     3-40 and 3-40.1 of the Public Community College Act and by
24     school districts of costs pursuant to Sections 10-22.20a
25     and 10-23.3a of The School Code;
26         (11) Interest cost incurred by a redeveloper related to
27     the construction, renovation or rehabilitation of a
28     redevelopment project provided that:
29             (A) such costs are to be paid directly from the
30         special tax allocation fund established pursuant to
31         this Act;
32             (B) such payments in any one year may not exceed
33         30% of the annual interest costs incurred by the
34         redeveloper with regard to the redevelopment project
35         during that year;
36             (C) if there are not sufficient funds available in

 

 

HB4330 - 37 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         the special tax allocation fund to make the payment
2         pursuant to this paragraph (11) then the amounts so due
3         shall accrue and be payable when sufficient funds are
4         available in the special tax allocation fund;
5             (D) the total of such interest payments paid
6         pursuant to this Act may not exceed 30% of the total
7         (i) cost paid or incurred by the redeveloper for the
8         redevelopment project plus (ii) redevelopment project
9         costs excluding any property assembly costs and any
10         relocation costs incurred by a municipality pursuant
11         to this Act; and
12             (E) the cost limits set forth in subparagraphs (B)
13         and (D) of paragraph (11) shall be modified for the
14         financing of rehabilitated or new housing units for
15         low-income households and very low-income households,
16         as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable
17         Housing Act. The percentage of 75% shall be substituted
18         for 30% in subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (11).
19             (F) Instead of the eligible costs provided by
20         subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (11), as
21         modified by this subparagraph, and notwithstanding any
22         other provisions of this Act to the contrary, the
23         municipality may pay from tax increment revenues up to
24         50% of the cost of construction of new housing units to
25         be occupied by low-income households and very
26         low-income households as defined in Section 3 of the
27         Illinois Affordable Housing Act. The cost of
28         construction of those units may be derived from the
29         proceeds of bonds issued by the municipality under this
30         Act or other constitutional or statutory authority or
31         from other sources of municipal revenue that may be
32         reimbursed from tax increment revenues or the proceeds
33         of bonds issued to finance the construction of that
34         housing.
35             The eligible costs provided under this
36         subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11) shall be an eligible

 

 

HB4330 - 38 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         cost for the construction, renovation, and
2         rehabilitation of all low and very low-income housing
3         units, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois
4         Affordable Housing Act, within the redevelopment
5         project area. If the low and very low-income units are
6         part of a residential redevelopment project that
7         includes units not affordable to low and very
8         low-income households, only the low and very
9         low-income units shall be eligible for benefits under
10         subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11). The standards for
11         maintaining the occupancy by low-income households and
12         very low-income households, as defined in Section 3 of
13         the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, of those units
14         constructed with eligible costs made available under
15         the provisions of this subparagraph (F) of paragraph
16         (11) shall be established by guidelines adopted by the
17         municipality. The responsibility for annually
18         documenting the initial occupancy of the units by
19         low-income households and very low-income households,
20         as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable
21         Housing Act, shall be that of the then current owner of
22         the property. For ownership units, the guidelines will
23         provide, at a minimum, for a reasonable recapture of
24         funds, or other appropriate methods designed to
25         preserve the original affordability of the ownership
26         units. For rental units, the guidelines will provide,
27         at a minimum, for the affordability of rent to low and
28         very low-income households. As units become available,
29         they shall be rented to income-eligible tenants. The
30         municipality may modify these guidelines from time to
31         time; the guidelines, however, shall be in effect for
32         as long as tax increment revenue is being used to pay
33         for costs associated with the units or for the
34         retirement of bonds issued to finance the units or for
35         the life of the redevelopment project area, whichever
36         is later.

 

 

HB4330 - 39 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         (11.5) If the redevelopment project area is located
2     within a municipality with a population of more than
3     100,000, the cost of day care services for children of
4     employees from low-income families working for businesses
5     located within the redevelopment project area and all or a
6     portion of the cost of operation of day care centers
7     established by redevelopment project area businesses to
8     serve employees from low-income families working in
9     businesses located in the redevelopment project area. For
10     the purposes of this paragraph, "low-income families"
11     means families whose annual income does not exceed 80% of
12     the municipal, county, or regional median income, adjusted
13     for family size, as the annual income and municipal,
14     county, or regional median income are determined from time
15     to time by the United States Department of Housing and
16     Urban Development.
17         (12) Unless explicitly stated herein the cost of
18     construction of new privately-owned buildings shall not be
19     an eligible redevelopment project cost.
20         (13) After November 1, 1999 (the effective date of
21     Public Act 91-478), none of the redevelopment project costs
22     enumerated in this subsection shall be eligible
23     redevelopment project costs if those costs would provide
24     direct financial support to a retail entity initiating
25     operations in the redevelopment project area while
26     terminating operations at another Illinois location within
27     10 miles of the redevelopment project area but outside the
28     boundaries of the redevelopment project area municipality.
29     For purposes of this paragraph, termination means a closing
30     of a retail operation that is directly related to the
31     opening of the same operation or like retail entity owned
32     or operated by more than 50% of the original ownership in a
33     redevelopment project area, but it does not mean closing an
34     operation for reasons beyond the control of the retail
35     entity, as documented by the retail entity, subject to a
36     reasonable finding by the municipality that the current

 

 

HB4330 - 40 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     location contained inadequate space, had become
2     economically obsolete, or was no longer a viable location
3     for the retailer or serviceman.
4     If a special service area has been established pursuant to
5 the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special Service Area Tax
6 Law, then any tax increment revenues derived from the tax
7 imposed pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special
8 Service Area Tax Law may be used within the redevelopment
9 project area for the purposes permitted by that Act or Law as
10 well as the purposes permitted by this Act.
11     (r) "State Sales Tax Boundary" means the redevelopment
12 project area or the amended redevelopment project area
13 boundaries which are determined pursuant to subsection (9) of
14 Section 11-74.4-8a of this Act. The Department of Revenue shall
15 certify pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 11-74.4-8a the
16 appropriate boundaries eligible for the determination of State
17 Sales Tax Increment.
18     (s) "State Sales Tax Increment" means an amount equal to
19 the increase in the aggregate amount of taxes paid by retailers
20 and servicemen, other than retailers and servicemen subject to
21 the Public Utilities Act, on transactions at places of business
22 located within a State Sales Tax Boundary pursuant to the
23 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Use
24 Tax Act, and the Service Occupation Tax Act, except such
25 portion of such increase that is paid into the State and Local
26 Sales Tax Reform Fund, the Local Government Distributive Fund,
27 the Local Government Tax Fund and the County and Mass Transit
28 District Fund, for as long as State participation exists, over
29 and above the Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales
30 Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts for such
31 taxes as certified by the Department of Revenue and paid under
32 those Acts by retailers and servicemen on transactions at
33 places of business located within the State Sales Tax Boundary
34 during the base year which shall be the calendar year
35 immediately prior to the year in which the municipality adopted
36 tax increment allocation financing, less 3.0% of such amounts

 

 

HB4330 - 41 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1 generated under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Use Tax Act
2 and Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act,
3 which sum shall be appropriated to the Department of Revenue to
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
12 Initial Sales Tax Amount". For purposes of determining the
13 State Sales Tax Increment the Department of Revenue shall for
14 each period subtract from the tax amounts received from
15 retailers and servicemen on transactions located in the State
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
27 Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
28 Initial Sales Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State Fiscal
29 Year 1991, this calculation shall be made by utilizing the
30 period from October 1, 1988, until June 30, 1989, to determine
31 the tax amounts received from retailers and servicemen, which
32 shall have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified
33 Initial State Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax
34 Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts as
35 appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year thereafter, the
36 applicable period shall be the 12 months beginning July 1 and

 

 

HB4330 - 42 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1 ending on June 30, to determine the tax amounts received which
2 shall have deducted therefrom the certified Initial Sales Tax
3 Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
4 Initial Sales Tax Amounts. Municipalities intending to receive
5 a distribution of State Sales Tax Increment must report a list
6 of retailers to the Department of Revenue by October 31, 1988
7 and by July 31, of each year thereafter.
8     (t) "Taxing districts" means counties, townships, cities
9 and incorporated towns and villages, school, road, park,
10 sanitary, mosquito abatement, forest preserve, public health,
11 fire protection, river conservancy, tuberculosis sanitarium
12 and any other municipal corporations or districts with the
13 power to levy taxes.
14     (u) "Taxing districts' capital costs" means those costs of
15 taxing districts for capital improvements that are found by the
16 municipal corporate authorities to be necessary and directly
17 result from the redevelopment project.
18     (v) As used in subsection (a) of Section 11-74.4-3 of this
19 Act, "vacant land" means any parcel or combination of parcels
20 of real property without industrial, commercial, and
21 residential buildings which has not been used for commercial
22 agricultural purposes within 5 years prior to the designation
23 of the redevelopment project area, unless the parcel is
24 included in an industrial park conservation area or the parcel
25 has been subdivided; provided that if the parcel was part of a
26 larger tract that has been divided into 3 or more smaller
27 tracts that were accepted for recording during the period from
28 1950 to 1990, then the parcel shall be deemed to have been
29 subdivided, and all proceedings and actions of the municipality
30 taken in that connection with respect to any previously
31 approved or designated redevelopment project area or amended
32 redevelopment project area are hereby validated and hereby
33 declared to be legally sufficient for all purposes of this Act.
34 For purposes of this Section and only for land subject to the
35 subdivision requirements of the Plat Act, land is subdivided
36 when the original plat of the proposed Redevelopment Project

 

 

HB4330 - 43 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1 Area or relevant portion thereof has been properly certified,
2 acknowledged, approved, and recorded or filed in accordance
3 with the Plat Act and a preliminary plat, if any, for any
4 subsequent phases of the proposed Redevelopment Project Area or
5 relevant portion thereof has been properly approved and filed
6 in accordance with the applicable ordinance of the
7 municipality.
8     (w) "Annual Total Increment" means the sum of each
9 municipality's annual Net Sales Tax Increment and each
10 municipality's annual Net Utility Tax Increment. The ratio of
11 the Annual Total Increment of each municipality to the Annual
12 Total Increment for all municipalities, as most recently
13 calculated by the Department, shall determine the proportional
14 shares of the Illinois Tax Increment Fund to be distributed to
15 each municipality.

24     (Text of Section after amendment by P.A. 94-702 and 94-711)
25     Sec. 11-74.4-3. Definitions. The following terms, wherever
26 used or referred to in this Division 74.4 shall have the
27 following respective meanings, unless in any case a different
28 meaning clearly appears from the context.
29     (a) For any redevelopment project area that has been
30 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
31 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
32 91-478), "blighted area" shall have the meaning set forth in
33 this Section prior to that date.
34     On and after November 1, 1999, "blighted area" means any
35 improved or vacant area within the boundaries of a

 

 

HB4330 - 44 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1 redevelopment project area located within the territorial
2 limits of the municipality where:
3         (1) If improved, industrial, commercial, and
4     residential buildings or improvements are detrimental to
5     the public safety, health, or welfare because of a
6     combination of 5 or more of the following factors, each of
7     which is (i) present, with that presence documented, to a
8     meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
9     find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
10     of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the
11     improved part of the redevelopment project area:
12             (A) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair
13         or neglect of necessary repairs to the primary
14         structural components of buildings or improvements in
15         such a combination that a documented building
16         condition analysis determines that major repair is
17         required or the defects are so serious and so extensive
18         that the buildings must be removed.
19             (B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of
20         falling into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited
21         for the original use.
22             (C) Deterioration. With respect to buildings,

26         With respect to surface improvements, that the
27         condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters,
28         sidewalks, off-street parking, and surface storage
29         areas evidence deterioration, including, but not
30         limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
31         depressions, loose paving material, and weeds
32         protruding through paved surfaces.
33             (D) Presence of structures below minimum code
34         standards. All structures that do not meet the
35         standards of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and
36         other governmental codes applicable to property, but

 

 

HB4330 - 45 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         not including housing and property maintenance codes.
2             (E) Illegal use of individual structures. The use
3         of structures in violation of applicable federal,
4         State, or local laws, exclusive of those applicable to
5         the presence of structures below minimum code
6         standards.
7             (F) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
8         that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that
9         represent an adverse influence on the area because of
10         the frequency, extent, or duration of the vacancies.
11             (G) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
12         facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for
13         light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without
14         windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor,
15         gas, smoke, or other noxious airborne materials.
16         Inadequate natural light and ventilation means the
17         absence of skylights or windows for interior spaces or
18         rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by room
19         area to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary
20         facilities refers to the absence or inadequacy of
21         garbage storage and enclosure, bathroom facilities,
22         hot water and kitchens, and structural inadequacies
23         preventing ingress and egress to and from all rooms and
24         units within a building.
25             (H) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
26         utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
27         sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and
28         electrical services that are shown to be inadequate.
29         Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
30         insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
31         redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated,
32         antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii)
33         lacking within the redevelopment project area.
34             (I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
35         structures and community facilities. The
36         over-intensive use of property and the crowding of

 

 

HB4330 - 46 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         buildings and accessory facilities onto a site.
2         Examples of problem conditions warranting the
3         designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive land
4         coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings either
5         improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels of
6         inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
7         standards of development for health and safety and (ii)
8         the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
9         For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
10         these parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
11         conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
12         within or around buildings, increased threat of spread
13         of fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack
14         of adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way,
15         lack of reasonably required off-street parking, or
16         inadequate provision for loading and service.
17             (J) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence
18         of incompatible land-use relationships, buildings
19         occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses
20         considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for
21         the surrounding area.
22             (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed
23         redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois
24         Environmental Protection Agency or United States
25         Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for,
26         or a study conducted by an independent consultant
27         recognized as having expertise in environmental
28         remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
29         hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground
30         storage tanks required by State or federal law,
31         provided that the remediation costs constitute a
32         material impediment to the development or
33         redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
34             (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed
35         redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
36         without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.

 

 

HB4330 - 47 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         This means that the development occurred prior to the
2         adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive or
3         other community plan or that the plan was not followed
4         at the time of the area's development. This factor must
5         be documented by evidence of adverse or incompatible
6         land-use relationships, inadequate street layout,
7         improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and
8         size to meet contemporary development standards, or
9         other evidence demonstrating an absence of effective
10         community planning.
11             (M) The total equalized assessed value of the
12         proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
13         of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
14         the redevelopment project area is designated or is
15         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
16         balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
17         calendar years for which information is available or is
18         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
19         Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
20         by the United States Department of Labor or successor
21         agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the
22         year in which the redevelopment project area is
23         designated.
24         (2) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
25     project area is impaired by a combination of 2 or more of
26     the following factors, each of which is (i) present, with
27     that presence documented, to a meaningful extent so that a
28     municipality may reasonably find that the factor is clearly
29     present within the intent of the Act and (ii) reasonably
30     distributed throughout the vacant part of the
31     redevelopment project area to which it pertains:
32             (A) Obsolete platting of vacant land that results
33         in parcels of limited or narrow size or configurations
34         of parcels of irregular size or shape that would be
35         difficult to develop on a planned basis and in a manner
36         compatible with contemporary standards and

 

 

HB4330 - 48 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         requirements, or platting that failed to create
2         rights-of-ways for streets or alleys or that created
3         inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys, or
4         other public rights-of-way or that omitted easements
5         for public utilities.
6             (B) Diversity of ownership of parcels of vacant
7         land sufficient in number to retard or impede the
8         ability to assemble the land for development.
9             (C) Tax and special assessment delinquencies exist
10         or the property has been the subject of tax sales under
11         the Property Tax Code within the last 5 years.
12             (D) Deterioration of structures or site
13         improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the
14         vacant land.
15             (E) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
16         Protection Agency or United States Environmental
17         Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
18         conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
19         having expertise in environmental remediation has
20         determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
21         hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
22         required by State or federal law, provided that the
23         remediation costs constitute a material impediment to
24         the development or redevelopment of the redevelopment
25         project area.
26             (F) The total equalized assessed value of the
27         proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
28         of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
29         the redevelopment project area is designated or is
30         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
31         balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5

1         year in which the redevelopment project area is
2         designated.
3         (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
4     project area is impaired by one of the following factors
5     that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a
6     meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
7     find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
8     of the Act and (ii) is reasonably distributed throughout
9     the vacant part of the redevelopment project area to which
10     it pertains:
11             (A) The area consists of one or more unused
12         quarries, mines, or strip mine ponds.
13             (B) The area consists of unused rail yards, rail
14         tracks, or railroad rights-of-way.
15             (C) The area, prior to its designation, is subject
16         to (i) chronic flooding that adversely impacts on real
17         property in the area as certified by a registered
18         professional engineer or appropriate regulatory agency
19         or (ii) surface water that discharges from all or a
20         part of the area and contributes to flooding within the
21         same watershed, but only if the redevelopment project
22         provides for facilities or improvements to contribute
23         to the alleviation of all or part of the flooding.
24             (D) The area consists of an unused or illegal
25         disposal site containing earth, stone, building
26         debris, or similar materials that were removed from
27         construction, demolition, excavation, or dredge sites.
28             (E) Prior to November 1, 1999, the area is not less
29         than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75% of which is
30         vacant (notwithstanding that the area has been used for
31         commercial agricultural purposes within 5 years prior
32         to the designation of the redevelopment project area),
33         and the area meets at least one of the factors itemized
34         in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the area has been
35         designated as a town or village center by ordinance or
36         comprehensive plan adopted prior to January 1, 1982,

 

 

HB4330 - 50 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         and the area has not been developed for that designated
2         purpose.
3             (F) The area qualified as a blighted improved area
4         immediately prior to becoming vacant, unless there has
5         been substantial private investment in the immediately
6         surrounding area.
7     (b) For any redevelopment project area that has been
8 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
9 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
10 91-478), "conservation area" shall have the meaning set forth
11 in this Section prior to that date.
12     On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means
13 any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment
14 project area located within the territorial limits of the
15 municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area
16 have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not yet a
17 blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more of the
18 following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health,
19 morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
20         (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or
21     neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural
22     components of buildings or improvements in such a
23     combination that a documented building condition analysis
24     determines that major repair is required or the defects are
25     so serious and so extensive that the buildings must be
26     removed.
27         (2) Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling
28     into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited for the
29     original use.
30         (3) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects
31     including, but not limited to, major defects in the
32     secondary building components such as doors, windows,
33     porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia. With respect
34     to surface improvements, that the condition of roadways,
35     alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking, and
36     surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including,

 

 

HB4330 - 51 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     but not limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
2     depressions, loose paving material, and weeds protruding
3     through paved surfaces.
4         (4) Presence of structures below minimum code
5     standards. All structures that do not meet the standards of
6     zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and other
7     governmental codes applicable to property, but not
8     including housing and property maintenance codes.
9         (5) Illegal use of individual structures. The use of
10     structures in violation of applicable federal, State, or
11     local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the presence
12     of structures below minimum code standards.
13         (6) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
14     that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent an
15     adverse influence on the area because of the frequency,
16     extent, or duration of the vacancies.
17         (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
18     facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for light
19     or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or
20     that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or
21     other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate natural light
22     and ventilation means the absence or inadequacy of
23     skylights or windows for interior spaces or rooms and
24     improper window sizes and amounts by room area to window
25     area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities refers to the
26     absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure,
27     bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and
28     structural inadequacies preventing ingress and egress to
29     and from all rooms and units within a building.
30         (8) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
31     utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage, sanitary
32     sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and electrical
33     services that are shown to be inadequate. Inadequate
34     utilities are those that are: (i) of insufficient capacity
35     to serve the uses in the redevelopment project area, (ii)
36     deteriorated, antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or

 

 

HB4330 - 52 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     (iii) lacking within the redevelopment project area.
2         (9) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
3     structures and community facilities. The over-intensive
4     use of property and the crowding of buildings and accessory
5     facilities onto a site. Examples of problem conditions
6     warranting the designation of an area as one exhibiting
7     excessive land coverage are: the presence of buildings
8     either improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels
9     of inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
10     standards of development for health and safety and the
11     presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel. For
12     there to be a finding of excessive land coverage, these
13     parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
14     conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
15     within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of
16     fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of
17     adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, lack of
18     reasonably required off-street parking, or inadequate
19     provision for loading and service.
20         (10) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence of
21     incompatible land-use relationships, buildings occupied by
22     inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses considered to be
23     noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for the surrounding
24     area.
25         (11) Lack of community planning. The proposed
26     redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
27     without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This
28     means that the development occurred prior to the adoption
29     by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community
30     plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the
31     area's development. This factor must be documented by
32     evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use
33     relationships, inadequate street layout, improper
34     subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet
35     contemporary development standards, or other evidence
36     demonstrating an absence of effective community planning.

 

 

HB4330 - 53 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         (12) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
2     Protection Agency or United States Environmental
3     Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
4     conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
5     having expertise in environmental remediation has
6     determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
7     hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
8     required by State or federal law, provided that the
9     remediation costs constitute a material impediment to the
10     development or redevelopment of the redevelopment project
11     area.
12         (13) The total equalized assessed value of the proposed
13     redevelopment project area has declined for 3 of the last 5
14     calendar years for which information is available or is
15     increasing at an annual rate that is less than the balance
16     of the municipality for 3 of the last 5 calendar years for
17     which information is available or is increasing at an
18     annual rate that is less than the Consumer Price Index for
19     All Urban Consumers published by the United States
20     Department of Labor or successor agency for 3 of the last 5
21     calendar years for which information is available.
22     (c) "Industrial park" means an area in a blighted or
23 conservation area suitable for use by any manufacturing,
24 industrial, research or transportation enterprise, of

36 if the area is annexed to the municipality; which area is zoned

 

 

HB4330 - 54 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1 as industrial no later than at the time the municipality by
2 ordinance designates the redevelopment project area, and which
3 area includes both vacant land suitable for use as an
4 industrial park and a blighted area or conservation area
5 contiguous to such vacant land.
6     (e) "Labor surplus municipality" means a municipality in
7 which, at any time during the 6 months before the municipality
8 by ordinance designates an industrial park conservation area,
9 the unemployment rate was over 6% and was also 100% or more of
10 the national average unemployment rate for that same time as
11 published in the United States Department of Labor Bureau of
12 Labor Statistics publication entitled "The Employment
13 Situation" or its successor publication. For the purpose of
14 this subsection, if unemployment rate statistics for the
15 municipality are not available, the unemployment rate in the

17 rate in the principal county in which the municipality is
18 located.
19     (f) "Municipality" shall mean a city, village,
20 incorporated town, or a township that is located in the

HB4330 - 55 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1 Boundary revised pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8a(9) of this Act.
2     (h) "Municipal Sales Tax Increment" means an amount equal
3 to the increase in the aggregate amount of taxes paid to a
4 municipality from the Local Government Tax Fund arising from
5 sales by retailers and servicemen within the redevelopment
6 project area or State Sales Tax Boundary, as the case may be,
7 for as long as the redevelopment project area or State Sales
8 Tax Boundary, as the case may be, exist over and above the
9 aggregate amount of taxes as certified by the Illinois
10 Department of Revenue and paid under the Municipal Retailers'
11 Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax Act
12 by retailers and servicemen, on transactions at places of
13 business located in the redevelopment project area or State
14 Sales Tax Boundary, as the case may be, during the base year
15 which shall be the calendar year immediately prior to the year
16 in which the municipality adopted tax increment allocation
17 financing. For purposes of computing the aggregate amount of

19 Department of Revenue shall determine the Initial Sales Tax
20 Amounts for such taxes and deduct therefrom an amount equal to
21 4% of the aggregate amount of taxes per year for each year the
22 base year is prior to 1985, but not to exceed a total deduction
23 of 12%. The amount so determined shall be known as the
24 "Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts". For purposes of

28 from sales by retailers and servicemen on transactions located
29 in the redevelopment project area or the State Sales Tax
30 Boundary, as the case may be, the certified Initial Sales Tax
31 Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
32 Initial Sales Tax Amounts for the Municipal Retailers'
33 Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax
34 Act. For the State Fiscal Year 1989, this calculation shall be
35 made by utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax
36 amounts received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this

 

 

HB4330 - 56 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1 calculation shall be made by utilizing the period from January
2 1, 1988, until September 30, 1988, to determine the tax amounts
3 received from retailers and servicemen pursuant to the
4 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service
5 Occupation Tax Act, which shall have deducted therefrom
6 nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the
7 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales
8 Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State Fiscal Year 1991,
9 this calculation shall be made by utilizing the period from
10 October 1, 1988, to June 30, 1989, to determine the tax amounts
11 received from retailers and servicemen pursuant to the
12 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service
13 Occupation Tax Act which shall have deducted therefrom
14 nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts,
15 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales
16 Tax Amounts as appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year
17 thereafter, the applicable period shall be the 12 months
18 beginning July 1 and ending June 30 to determine the tax
19 amounts received which shall have deducted therefrom the
20 certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales
21 Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts, as the
22 case may be.
23     (i) "Net State Sales Tax Increment" means the sum of the

26 (b) 60% of the amount in excess of $100,000 but not exceeding
27 $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually generated within
28 a State Sales Tax Boundary; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
29 excess of $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually
30 generated within a State Sales Tax Boundary. If, however, a
31 municipality established a tax increment financing district in
32 a county with a population in excess of 3,000,000 before
33 January 1, 1986, and the municipality entered into a contract
34 or issued bonds after January 1, 1986, but before December 31,
35 1986, to finance redevelopment project costs within a State
36 Sales Tax Boundary, then the Net State Sales Tax Increment

 

 

HB4330 - 57 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

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

16 1999; 80% in the State Fiscal Year 2000; 70% in the State
17 Fiscal Year 2001; 60% in the State Fiscal Year 2002; 50% in the
18 State Fiscal Year 2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year 2004; 30%
19 in the State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State Fiscal Year
20 2006; and 10% in the State Fiscal Year 2007. No payment shall
21 be made for State Fiscal Year 2008 and thereafter.
22     Municipalities that issued bonds in connection with a
23 redevelopment project in a redevelopment project area within
24 the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991, or that
25 entered into contracts in connection with a redevelopment
26 project in a redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988,
27 shall continue to receive their proportional share of the
28 Illinois Tax Increment Fund distribution until the date on
29 which the redevelopment project is completed or terminated. If,
30 however, a municipality that issued bonds in connection with a
31 redevelopment project in a redevelopment project area within
32 the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991 retires the
33 bonds prior to June 30, 2007 or a municipality that entered
34 into contracts in connection with a redevelopment project in a
35 redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988 completes the
36 contracts prior to June 30, 2007, then so long as the

 

 

HB4330 - 58 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1 redevelopment project is not completed or is not terminated,
2 the Net State Sales Tax Increment shall be calculated,
3 beginning on the date on which the bonds are retired or the
4 contracts are completed, as follows: By multiplying the Net
5 State Sales Tax Increment by 60% in the State Fiscal Year 2002;
6 50% in the State Fiscal Year 2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year
7 2004; 30% in the State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State
8 Fiscal Year 2006; and 10% in the State Fiscal Year 2007. No
9 payment shall be made for State Fiscal Year 2008 and
10 thereafter. Refunding of any bonds issued prior to July 29,
11 1991, shall not alter the Net State Sales Tax Increment.
12     (j) "State Utility Tax Increment Amount" means an amount
13 equal to the aggregate increase in State electric and gas tax
14 charges imposed on owners and tenants, other than residential
15 customers, of properties located within the redevelopment
16 project area under Section 9-222 of the Public Utilities Act,
17 over and above the aggregate of such charges as certified by
18 the Department of Revenue and paid by owners and tenants, other
19 than residential customers, of properties within the
20 redevelopment project area during the base year, which shall be
21 the calendar year immediately prior to the year of the adoption
22 of the ordinance authorizing tax increment allocation
23 financing.
24     (k) "Net State Utility Tax Increment" means the sum of the
25 following: (a) 80% of the first $100,000 of State Utility Tax
26 Increment annually generated by a redevelopment project area;
27 (b) 60% of the amount in excess of $100,000 but not exceeding
28 $500,000 of the State Utility Tax Increment annually generated
29 by a redevelopment project area; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
30 excess of $500,000 of State Utility Tax Increment annually
31 generated by a redevelopment project area. For the State Fiscal
32 Year 1999, and every year thereafter until the year 2007, for
33 any municipality that has not entered into a contract or has
34 not issued bonds prior to June 1, 1988 to finance redevelopment
35 project costs within a redevelopment project area, the Net
36 State Utility Tax Increment shall be calculated as follows: By

 

 

HB4330 - 59 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1 multiplying the Net State Utility Tax Increment by 90% in the
2 State Fiscal Year 1999; 80% in the State Fiscal Year 2000; 70%

8 thereafter.
9     Municipalities that issue bonds in connection with the
10 redevelopment project during the period from June 1, 1988 until
11 3 years after the effective date of this Amendatory Act of 1988
12 shall receive the Net State Utility Tax Increment, subject to
13 appropriation, for 15 State Fiscal Years after the issuance of
14 such bonds. For the 16th through the 20th State Fiscal Years
15 after issuance of the bonds, the Net State Utility Tax
16 Increment shall be calculated as follows: By multiplying the
17 Net State Utility Tax Increment by 90% in year 16; 80% in year
18 17; 70% in year 18; 60% in year 19; and 50% in year 20.
19 Refunding of any bonds issued prior to June 1, 1988, shall not
20 alter the revised Net State Utility Tax Increment payments set
21 forth above.
22     (l) "Obligations" mean bonds, loans, debentures, notes,

27 revenues from real property in a redevelopment project area
28 derived from real property that has been acquired by a
29 municipality which according to the redevelopment project or
30 plan is to be used for a private use which taxing districts
31 would have received had a municipality not acquired the real
32 property and adopted tax increment allocation financing and
33 which would result from levies made after the time of the
34 adoption of tax increment allocation financing to the time the
35 current equalized value of real property in the redevelopment
36 project area exceeds the total initial equalized value of real

2     (n) "Redevelopment plan" means the comprehensive program
3 of the municipality for development or redevelopment intended
4 by the payment of redevelopment project costs to reduce or
5 eliminate those conditions the existence of which qualified the
6 redevelopment project area as a "blighted area" or

8 conservation area," and thereby to enhance the tax bases of the
9 taxing districts which extend into the redevelopment project
10 area. On and after November 1, 1999 (the effective date of
11 Public Act 91-478), no redevelopment plan may be approved or
12 amended that includes the development of vacant land (i) with a
13 golf course and related clubhouse and other facilities or (ii)
14 designated by federal, State, county, or municipal government

31         However, for redevelopment project areas for which

33     contracts were entered into before June 1, 1988, in
34     connection with a redevelopment project in the area within

36     completion of the redevelopment project and retirement of

 

 

HB4330 - 66 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     obligations to finance redevelopment project costs may be
2     extended by municipal ordinance to December 31, 2013. The
3     termination procedures of subsection (b) of Section
4     11-74.4-8 are not required for these redevelopment project
5     areas in 2009 but are required in 2013. The extension
6     allowed by this amendatory Act of 1993 shall not apply to
7     real property tax increment allocation financing under
8     Section 11-74.4-8.
9         A municipality may by municipal ordinance amend an
10     existing redevelopment plan to conform to this paragraph
11     (3) as amended by Public Act 91-478, which municipal
12     ordinance may be adopted without further hearing or notice
13     and without complying with the procedures provided in this
14     Act pertaining to an amendment to or the initial approval
15     of a redevelopment plan and project and designation of a
16     redevelopment project area.
17         Those dates, for purposes of real property tax
18     increment allocation financing pursuant to Section
19     11-74.4-8 only, shall be not more than 35 years for
20     redevelopment project areas that were adopted on or after
21     December 16, 1986 and for which at least $8 million worth
22     of municipal bonds were authorized on or after December 19,
23     1989 but before January 1, 1990; provided that the
24     municipality elects to extend the life of the redevelopment
25     project area to 35 years by the adoption of an ordinance
26     after at least 14 but not more than 30 days' written notice
27     to the taxing bodies, that would otherwise constitute the
28     joint review board for the redevelopment project area,
29     before the adoption of the ordinance.
30         Those dates, for purposes of real property tax
31     increment allocation financing pursuant to Section
32     11-74.4-8 only, shall be not more than 35 years for
33     redevelopment project areas that were established on or
34     after December 1, 1981 but before January 1, 1982 and for
35     which at least $1,500,000 worth of tax increment revenue
36     bonds were authorized on or after September 30, 1990 but

 

 

HB4330 - 67 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     before July 1, 1991; provided that the municipality elects
2     to extend the life of the redevelopment project area to 35
3     years by the adoption of an ordinance after at least 14 but
4     not more than 30 days' written notice to the taxing bodies,
5     that would otherwise constitute the joint review board for
6     the redevelopment project area, before the adoption of the
7     ordinance.
8         (3.5) The municipality finds, in the case of an
9     industrial park conservation area, also that the
10     municipality is a labor surplus municipality and that the
11     implementation of the redevelopment plan will reduce
12     unemployment, create new jobs and by the provision of new
13     facilities enhance the tax base of the taxing districts
14     that extend into the redevelopment project area.
15         (4) If any incremental revenues are being utilized
16     under Section 8(a)(1) or 8(a)(2) of this Act in
17     redevelopment project areas approved by ordinance after
18     January 1, 1986, the municipality finds: (a) that the
19     redevelopment project area would not reasonably be
20     developed without the use of such incremental revenues, and
21     (b) that such incremental revenues will be exclusively
22     utilized for the development of the redevelopment project
23     area.
24         (5) If the redevelopment plan will not result in
25     displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
26     residential units, and the municipality certifies in the
27     plan that such displacement will not result from the plan,
28     a housing impact study need not be performed. If, however,
29     the redevelopment plan would result in the displacement of
30     residents from 10 or more inhabited residential units, or
31     if the redevelopment project area contains 75 or more
32     inhabited residential units and no certification is made,
33     then the municipality shall prepare, as part of the
34     separate feasibility report required by subsection (a) of
35     Section 11-74.4-5, a housing impact study.
36         Part I of the housing impact study shall include (i)

 

 

HB4330 - 68 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     data as to whether the residential units are single family
2     or multi-family units, (ii) the number and type of rooms
3     within the units, if that information is available, (iii)
4     whether the units are inhabited or uninhabited, as
5     determined not less than 45 days before the date that the
6     ordinance or resolution required by subsection (a) of
7     Section 11-74.4-5 is passed, and (iv) data as to the racial
8     and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited
9     residential units. The data requirement as to the racial
10     and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited
11     residential units shall be deemed to be fully satisfied by
12     data from the most recent federal census.
13         Part II of the housing impact study shall identify the
14     inhabited residential units in the proposed redevelopment
15     project area that are to be or may be removed. If inhabited
16     residential units are to be removed, then the housing
17     impact study shall identify (i) the number and location of
18     those units that will or may be removed, (ii) the
19     municipality's plans for relocation assistance for those
20     residents in the proposed redevelopment project area whose
21     residences are to be removed, (iii) the availability of
22     replacement housing for those residents whose residences
23     are to be removed, and shall identify the type, location,
24     and cost of the housing, and (iv) the type and extent of
25     relocation assistance to be provided.
26         (6) On and after November 1, 1999, the housing impact
27     study required by paragraph (5) shall be incorporated in
28     the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment project area.
29         (7) On and after November 1, 1999, no redevelopment
30     plan shall be adopted, nor an existing plan amended, nor
31     shall residential housing that is occupied by households of
32     low-income and very low-income persons in currently
33     existing redevelopment project areas be removed after
34     November 1, 1999 unless the redevelopment plan provides,
35     with respect to inhabited housing units that are to be
36     removed for households of low-income and very low-income

 

 

HB4330 - 69 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     persons, affordable housing and relocation assistance not
2     less than that which would be provided under the federal
3     Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
4     Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and the regulations under
5     that Act, including the eligibility criteria. Affordable
6     housing may be either existing or newly constructed
7     housing. For purposes of this paragraph (7), "low-income
8     households", "very low-income households", and "affordable
9     housing" have the meanings set forth in the Illinois
10     Affordable Housing Act. The municipality shall make a good
11     faith effort to ensure that this affordable housing is
12     located in or near the redevelopment project area within
13     the municipality.
14         (8) On and after November 1, 1999, if, after the
15     adoption of the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment
16     project area, any municipality desires to amend its
17     redevelopment plan to remove more inhabited residential
18     units than specified in its original redevelopment plan,
19     that change shall be made in accordance with the procedures
20     in subsection (c) of Section 11-74.4-5.
21         (9) For redevelopment project areas designated prior
22     to November 1, 1999, the redevelopment plan may be amended
23     without further joint review board meeting or hearing,
24     provided that the municipality shall give notice of any
25     such changes by mail to each affected taxing district and
26     registrant on the interested party registry, to authorize
27     the municipality to expend tax increment revenues for
28     redevelopment project costs defined by paragraphs (5) and
29     (7.5), subparagraphs (E) and (F) of paragraph (11), and
30     paragraph (11.5) of subsection (q) of Section 11-74.4-3, so
31     long as the changes do not increase the total estimated
32     redevelopment project costs set out in the redevelopment
33     plan by more than 5% after adjustment for inflation from
34     the date the plan was adopted.
35     (o) "Redevelopment project" means any public and private
36 development project in furtherance of the objectives of a

 

 

HB4330 - 70 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1 redevelopment plan. On and after November 1, 1999 (the
2 effective date of Public Act 91-478), no redevelopment plan may
3 be approved or amended that includes the development of vacant
4 land (i) with a golf course and related clubhouse and other
5 facilities or (ii) designated by federal, State, county, or
6 municipal government as public land for outdoor recreational
7 activities or for nature preserves and used for that purpose
8 within 5 years prior to the adoption of the redevelopment plan.
9 For the purpose of this subsection, "recreational activities"
10 is limited to mean camping and hunting.
11     (p) "Redevelopment project area" means an area designated
12 by the municipality, which is not less in the aggregate than 1
13 1/2 acres and in respect to which the municipality has made a
14 finding that there exist conditions which cause the area to be
15 classified as an industrial park conservation area or a
16 blighted area or a conservation area, or a combination of both
17 blighted areas and conservation areas.
18     (q) "Redevelopment project costs" mean and include the sum
19 total of all reasonable or necessary costs incurred or
20 estimated to be incurred, and any such costs incidental to a
21 redevelopment plan and a redevelopment project. Such costs
22 include, without limitation, the following:
23         (1) Costs of studies, surveys, development of plans,
24     and specifications, implementation and administration of
25     the redevelopment plan including but not limited to staff
26     and professional service costs for architectural,
27     engineering, legal, financial, planning or other services,
28     provided however that no charges for professional services
29     may be based on a percentage of the tax increment
30     collected; except that on and after November 1, 1999 (the
31     effective date of Public Act 91-478), no contracts for
32     professional services, excluding architectural and
33     engineering services, may be entered into if the terms of
34     the contract extend beyond a period of 3 years. In
35     addition, "redevelopment project costs" shall not include
36     lobbying expenses. After consultation with the

 

 

HB4330 - 71 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     municipality, each tax increment consultant or advisor to a
2     municipality that plans to designate or has designated a
3     redevelopment project area shall inform the municipality
4     in writing of any contracts that the consultant or advisor
5     has entered into with entities or individuals that have
6     received, or are receiving, payments financed by tax
7     increment revenues produced by the redevelopment project
8     area with respect to which the consultant or advisor has
9     performed, or will be performing, service for the
10     municipality. This requirement shall be satisfied by the
11     consultant or advisor before the commencement of services
12     for the municipality and thereafter whenever any other
13     contracts with those individuals or entities are executed
14     by the consultant or advisor;
15         (1.5) After July 1, 1999, annual administrative costs
16     shall not include general overhead or administrative costs
17     of the municipality that would still have been incurred by
18     the municipality if the municipality had not designated a
19     redevelopment project area or approved a redevelopment
20     plan;
21         (1.6) The cost of marketing sites within the
22     redevelopment project area to prospective businesses,

30     limited to parking lots and other concrete or asphalt
31     barriers, and the clearing and grading of land;
32         (3) Costs of rehabilitation, reconstruction or repair
33     or remodeling of existing public or private buildings,
34     fixtures, and leasehold improvements; and the cost of
35     replacing an existing public building if pursuant to the
36     implementation of a redevelopment project the existing

 

 

HB4330 - 72 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     public building is to be demolished to use the site for
2     private investment or devoted to a different use requiring
3     private investment;
4         (4) Costs of the construction of public works or
5     improvements, except that on and after November 1, 1999,
6     redevelopment project costs shall not include the cost of

9     facilities or vehicle storage, maintenance, or repair for
10     administrative, public safety, or public works personnel
11     and that is not intended to replace an existing public
12     building as provided under paragraph (3) of subsection (q)
13     of Section 11-74.4-3 unless either (i) the construction of
14     the new municipal building implements a redevelopment
15     project that was included in a redevelopment plan that was
16     adopted by the municipality prior to November 1, 1999 or
17     (ii) the municipality makes a reasonable determination in
18     the redevelopment plan, supported by information that
19     provides the basis for that determination, that the new

21     need for public safety purposes anticipated to result from
22     the implementation of the redevelopment plan;

17     which costs shall be paid by the municipality from the
18     Special Tax Allocation Fund when the tax increment revenue
19     is received as a result of the assisted housing units and
20     shall be calculated annually as follows:
21             (A) for foundation districts, excluding any school
22         district in a municipality with a population in excess
23         of 1,000,000, by multiplying the district's increase

21             (C) For any school district in a municipality with
22         a population in excess of 1,000,000, the following
23         restrictions shall apply to the reimbursement of
24         increased costs under this paragraph (7.5):
25                 (i) no increased costs shall be reimbursed
26             unless the school district certifies that each of
27             the schools affected by the assisted housing
28             project is at or over its student capacity;
29                 (ii) the amount reimbursable shall be reduced

31             district by the municipality or developer, and by
32             the value of any physical improvements made to the
33             schools by the municipality or developer; and

HB4330 - 76 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1             terms of any redevelopment agreement.
2         Any school district seeking payment under this
3         paragraph (7.5) shall, after July 1 and before
4         September 30 of each year, provide the municipality
5         with reasonable evidence to support its claim for
6         reimbursement before the municipality shall be
7         required to approve or make the payment to the school
8         district. If the school district fails to provide the
9         information during this period in any year, it shall
10         forfeit any claim to reimbursement for that year.
11         School districts may adopt a resolution waiving the
12         right to all or a portion of the reimbursement
13         otherwise required by this paragraph (7.5). By
14         acceptance of this reimbursement the school district
15         waives the right to directly or indirectly set aside,
16         modify, or contest in any manner the establishment of
17         the redevelopment project area or projects;
18         (7.7) For redevelopment project areas designated (or
19     redevelopment project areas amended to add or increase the
20     number of tax-increment-financing assisted housing units)
21     on or after January 1, 2005 (the effective date of Public
22     Act 93-961), a public library district's increased costs
23     attributable to assisted housing units located within the
24     redevelopment project area for which the developer or
25     redeveloper receives financial assistance through an
26     agreement with the municipality or because the
27     municipality incurs the cost of necessary infrastructure
28     improvements within the boundaries of the assisted housing
29     sites necessary for the completion of that housing as
30     authorized by this Act shall be paid to the library
31     district by the municipality from the Special Tax
32     Allocation Fund when the tax increment revenue is received
33     as a result of the assisted housing units. This paragraph
34     (7.7) applies only if (i) the library district is located
35     in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension
36     Limitation Law or (ii) the library district is not located

 

 

HB4330 - 77 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension
2     Limitation Law but the district is prohibited by any other
3     law from increasing its tax levy rate without a prior voter
4     referendum.
5         The amount paid to a library district under this
6     paragraph (7.7) shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the
7     net increase in the number of persons eligible to obtain a
8     library card in that district who reside in housing units
9     within the redevelopment project area that have received
10     financial assistance through an agreement with the
11     municipality or because the municipality incurs the cost of
12     necessary infrastructure improvements within the
13     boundaries of the housing sites necessary for the
14     completion of that housing as authorized by this Act since
15     the designation of the redevelopment project area by (ii)
16     the per-patron cost of providing library services so long
17     as it does not exceed $120. The per-patron cost shall be
18     the Total Operating Expenditures Per Capita as stated in
19     the most recent Illinois Public Library Statistics
20     produced by the Library Research Center at the University
21     of Illinois. The municipality may deduct from the amount
22     that it must pay to a library district under this paragraph
23     any amount that it has voluntarily paid to the library
24     district from the tax increment revenue. The amount paid to
25     a library district under this paragraph (7.7) shall be no
26     more than 2% of the amount produced by the assisted housing
27     units and deposited into the Special Tax Allocation Fund.
28         A library district is not eligible for any payment
29     under this paragraph (7.7) unless the library district has
30     experienced an increase in the number of patrons from the
31     municipality that created the tax-increment-financing
32     district since the designation of the redevelopment
33     project area.
34         Any library district seeking payment under this
35     paragraph (7.7) shall, after July 1 and before September 30
36     of each year, provide the municipality with convincing

 

 

HB4330 - 78 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     evidence to support its claim for reimbursement before the
2     municipality shall be required to approve or make the
3     payment to the library district. If the library district
4     fails to provide the information during this period in any
5     year, it shall forfeit any claim to reimbursement for that
6     year. Library districts may adopt a resolution waiving the
7     right to all or a portion of the reimbursement otherwise
8     required by this paragraph (7.7). By acceptance of such
9     reimbursement, the library district shall forfeit any
10     right to directly or indirectly set aside, modify, or
11     contest in any manner whatsoever the establishment of the
12     redevelopment project area or projects;
13         (8) Relocation costs to the extent that a municipality
14     determines that relocation costs shall be paid or is
15     required to make payment of relocation costs by federal or
16     State law or in order to satisfy subparagraph (7) of
17     subsection (n);
18         (9) Payment in lieu of taxes;
19         (10) Costs of job training, retraining, advanced
20     vocational education or career education, including but
21     not limited to courses in occupational, semi-technical or
22     technical fields leading directly to employment, incurred
23     by one or more taxing districts, provided that such costs
24     (i) are related to the establishment and maintenance of
25     additional job training, advanced vocational education or
26     career education programs for persons employed or to be
27     employed by employers located in a redevelopment project
28     area; and (ii) when incurred by a taxing district or taxing
29     districts other than the municipality, are set forth in a
30     written agreement by or among the municipality and the
31     taxing district or taxing districts, which agreement
32     describes the program to be undertaken, including but not
33     limited to the number of employees to be trained, a
34     description of the training and services to be provided,
35     the number and type of positions available or to be
36     available, itemized costs of the program and sources of

 

 

HB4330 - 79 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1     funds to pay for the same, and the term of the agreement.
2     Such costs include, specifically, the payment by community
3     college districts of costs pursuant to Sections 3-37, 3-38,
4     3-40 and 3-40.1 of the Public Community College Act and by
5     school districts of costs pursuant to Sections 10-22.20a
6     and 10-23.3a of The School Code;
7         (11) Interest cost incurred by a redeveloper related to
8     the construction, renovation or rehabilitation of a
9     redevelopment project provided that:
10             (A) such costs are to be paid directly from the
11         special tax allocation fund established pursuant to
12         this Act;
13             (B) such payments in any one year may not exceed
14         30% of the annual interest costs incurred by the
15         redeveloper with regard to the redevelopment project
16         during that year;
17             (C) if there are not sufficient funds available in
18         the special tax allocation fund to make the payment
19         pursuant to this paragraph (11) then the amounts so due
20         shall accrue and be payable when sufficient funds are
21         available in the special tax allocation fund;
22             (D) the total of such interest payments paid
23         pursuant to this Act may not exceed 30% of the total
24         (i) cost paid or incurred by the redeveloper for the
25         redevelopment project plus (ii) redevelopment project
26         costs excluding any property assembly costs and any
27         relocation costs incurred by a municipality pursuant
28         to this Act; and
29             (E) the cost limits set forth in subparagraphs (B)
30         and (D) of paragraph (11) shall be modified for the
31         financing of rehabilitated or new housing units for
32         low-income households and very low-income households,
33         as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable
34         Housing Act. The percentage of 75% shall be substituted
35         for 30% in subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (11).
36             (F) Instead of the eligible costs provided by

 

 

HB4330 - 80 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (11), as
2         modified by this subparagraph, and notwithstanding any
3         other provisions of this Act to the contrary, the
4         municipality may pay from tax increment revenues up to
5         50% of the cost of construction of new housing units to
6         be occupied by low-income households and very
7         low-income households as defined in Section 3 of the
8         Illinois Affordable Housing Act. The cost of
9         construction of those units may be derived from the
10         proceeds of bonds issued by the municipality under this
11         Act or other constitutional or statutory authority or
12         from other sources of municipal revenue that may be
13         reimbursed from tax increment revenues or the proceeds
14         of bonds issued to finance the construction of that
15         housing.
16             The eligible costs provided under this
17         subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11) shall be an eligible
18         cost for the construction, renovation, and
19         rehabilitation of all low and very low-income housing
20         units, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois
21         Affordable Housing Act, within the redevelopment
22         project area. If the low and very low-income units are
23         part of a residential redevelopment project that
24         includes units not affordable to low and very
25         low-income households, only the low and very
26         low-income units shall be eligible for benefits under
27         subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11). The standards for
28         maintaining the occupancy by low-income households and
29         very low-income households, as defined in Section 3 of
30         the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, of those units
31         constructed with eligible costs made available under
32         the provisions of this subparagraph (F) of paragraph
33         (11) shall be established by guidelines adopted by the
34         municipality. The responsibility for annually
35         documenting the initial occupancy of the units by
36         low-income households and very low-income households,

 

 

HB4330 - 81 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable
2         Housing Act, shall be that of the then current owner of
3         the property. For ownership units, the guidelines will
4         provide, at a minimum, for a reasonable recapture of
5         funds, or other appropriate methods designed to
6         preserve the original affordability of the ownership
7         units. For rental units, the guidelines will provide,
8         at a minimum, for the affordability of rent to low and
9         very low-income households. As units become available,
10         they shall be rented to income-eligible tenants. The
11         municipality may modify these guidelines from time to
12         time; the guidelines, however, shall be in effect for
13         as long as tax increment revenue is being used to pay
14         for costs associated with the units or for the
15         retirement of bonds issued to finance the units or for
16         the life of the redevelopment project area, whichever
17         is later.
18         (11.5) If the redevelopment project area is located
19     within a municipality with a population of more than
20     100,000, the cost of day care services for children of
21     employees from low-income families working for businesses
22     located within the redevelopment project area and all or a
23     portion of the cost of operation of day care centers
24     established by redevelopment project area businesses to
25     serve employees from low-income families working in
26     businesses located in the redevelopment project area. For
27     the purposes of this paragraph, "low-income families"
28     means families whose annual income does not exceed 80% of
29     the municipal, county, or regional median income, adjusted
30     for family size, as the annual income and municipal,
31     county, or regional median income are determined from time
32     to time by the United States Department of Housing and
33     Urban Development.
34         (12) Unless explicitly stated herein the cost of
35     construction of new privately-owned buildings shall not be
36     an eligible redevelopment project cost.

 

 

HB4330 - 82 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1         (13) After November 1, 1999 (the effective date of
2     Public Act 91-478), none of the redevelopment project costs
3     enumerated in this subsection shall be eligible
4     redevelopment project costs if those costs would provide
5     direct financial support to a retail entity initiating
6     operations in the redevelopment project area while
7     terminating operations at another Illinois location within
8     10 miles of the redevelopment project area but outside the
9     boundaries of the redevelopment project area municipality.
10     For purposes of this paragraph, termination means a closing
11     of a retail operation that is directly related to the
12     opening of the same operation or like retail entity owned
13     or operated by more than 50% of the original ownership in a
14     redevelopment project area, but it does not mean closing an
15     operation for reasons beyond the control of the retail
16     entity, as documented by the retail entity, subject to a
17     reasonable finding by the municipality that the current
18     location contained inadequate space, had become
19     economically obsolete, or was no longer a viable location
20     for the retailer or serviceman.
21     If a special service area has been established pursuant to
22 the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special Service Area Tax
23 Law, then any tax increment revenues derived from the tax
24 imposed pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special
25 Service Area Tax Law may be used within the redevelopment
26 project area for the purposes permitted by that Act or Law as
27 well as the purposes permitted by this Act.
28     (r) "State Sales Tax Boundary" means the redevelopment
29 project area or the amended redevelopment project area
30 boundaries which are determined pursuant to subsection (9) of
31 Section 11-74.4-8a of this Act. The Department of Revenue shall
32 certify pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 11-74.4-8a the
33 appropriate boundaries eligible for the determination of State
34 Sales Tax Increment.
35     (s) "State Sales Tax Increment" means an amount equal to
36 the increase in the aggregate amount of taxes paid by retailers

1 and servicemen, other than retailers and servicemen subject to
2 the Public Utilities Act, on transactions at places of business
3 located within a State Sales Tax Boundary pursuant to the
4 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Use
5 Tax Act, and the Service Occupation Tax Act, except such
6 portion of such increase that is paid into the State and Local
7 Sales Tax Reform Fund, the Local Government Distributive Fund,
8 the Local Government Tax Fund and the County and Mass Transit
9 District Fund, for as long as State participation exists, over
10 and above the Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales
11 Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts for such
12 taxes as certified by the Department of Revenue and paid under
13 those Acts by retailers and servicemen on transactions at
14 places of business located within the State Sales Tax Boundary
15 during the base year which shall be the calendar year
16 immediately prior to the year in which the municipality adopted
17 tax increment allocation financing, less 3.0% of such amounts
18 generated under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Use Tax Act
19 and Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act,
20 which sum shall be appropriated to the Department of Revenue to
21 cover its costs of administering and enforcing this Section.
22 For purposes of computing the aggregate amount of such taxes
23 for base years occurring prior to 1985, the Department of
24 Revenue shall compute the Initial Sales Tax Amount for such
25 taxes and deduct therefrom an amount equal to 4% of the
26 aggregate amount of taxes per year for each year the base year
27 is prior to 1985, but not to exceed a total deduction of 12%.
28 The amount so determined shall be known as the "Adjusted
29 Initial Sales Tax Amount". For purposes of determining the
30 State Sales Tax Increment the Department of Revenue shall for
31 each period subtract from the tax amounts received from
32 retailers and servicemen on transactions located in the State
33 Sales Tax Boundary, the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts,
34 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or Revised Initial Sales Tax
35 Amounts for the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act,
36 the Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act. For

1 the State Fiscal Year 1989 this calculation shall be made by
2 utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax amounts
3 received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this calculation
4 shall be made by utilizing the period from January 1, 1988,
5 until September 30, 1988, to determine the tax amounts received
6 from retailers and servicemen, which shall have deducted
7 therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax
8 Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
9 Initial Sales Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State Fiscal
10 Year 1991, this calculation shall be made by utilizing the
11 period from October 1, 1988, until June 30, 1989, to determine
12 the tax amounts received from retailers and servicemen, which
13 shall have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified
14 Initial State Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax
15 Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts as
16 appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year thereafter, the
17 applicable period shall be the 12 months beginning July 1 and
18 ending on June 30, to determine the tax amounts received which
19 shall have deducted therefrom the certified Initial Sales Tax
20 Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
21 Initial Sales Tax Amounts. Municipalities intending to receive
22 a distribution of State Sales Tax Increment must report a list
23 of retailers to the Department of Revenue by October 31, 1988
24 and by July 31, of each year thereafter.
25     (t) "Taxing districts" means counties, townships, cities
26 and incorporated towns and villages, school, road, park,
27 sanitary, mosquito abatement, forest preserve, public health,

29 and any other municipal corporations or districts with the
30 power to levy taxes.
31     (u) "Taxing districts' capital costs" means those costs of
32 taxing districts for capital improvements that are found by the
33 municipal corporate authorities to be necessary and directly
34 result from the redevelopment project.

1 of real property without industrial, commercial, and
2 residential buildings which has not been used for commercial
3 agricultural purposes within 5 years prior to the designation
4 of the redevelopment project area, unless the parcel is
5 included in an industrial park conservation area or the parcel
6 has been subdivided; provided that if the parcel was part of a
7 larger tract that has been divided into 3 or more smaller
8 tracts that were accepted for recording during the period from
9 1950 to 1990, then the parcel shall be deemed to have been
10 subdivided, and all proceedings and actions of the municipality
11 taken in that connection with respect to any previously
12 approved or designated redevelopment project area or amended
13 redevelopment project area are hereby validated and hereby
14 declared to be legally sufficient for all purposes of this Act.
15 For purposes of this Section and only for land subject to the
16 subdivision requirements of the Plat Act, land is subdivided
17 when the original plat of the proposed Redevelopment Project
18 Area or relevant portion thereof has been properly certified,

6     (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 94-702 and
7 94-711)
8     Sec. 11-74.4-7. Obligations secured by the special tax
9 allocation fund set forth in Section 11-74.4-8 for the
10 redevelopment project area may be issued to provide for
11 redevelopment project costs. Such obligations, when so issued,
12 shall be retired in the manner provided in the ordinance
13 authorizing the issuance of such obligations by the receipts of
14 taxes levied as specified in Section 11-74.4-9 against the
15 taxable property included in the area, by revenues as specified
16 by Section 11-74.4-8a and other revenue designated by the
17 municipality. A municipality may in the ordinance pledge all or
18 any part of the funds in and to be deposited in the special tax
19 allocation fund created pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8 to the
20 payment of the redevelopment project costs and obligations. Any
21 pledge of funds in the special tax allocation fund shall
22 provide for distribution to the taxing districts and to the
23 Illinois Department of Revenue of moneys not required, pledged,
24 earmarked, or otherwise designated for payment and securing of
25 the obligations and anticipated redevelopment project costs
26 and such excess funds shall be calculated annually and deemed
27 to be "surplus" funds. In the event a municipality only applies
28 or pledges a portion of the funds in the special tax allocation
29 fund for the payment or securing of anticipated redevelopment
30 project costs or of obligations, any such funds remaining in
31 the special tax allocation fund after complying with the
32 requirements of the application or pledge, shall also be
33 calculated annually and deemed "surplus" funds. All surplus
34 funds in the special tax allocation fund shall be distributed
35 annually within 180 days after the close of the municipality's

1 fiscal year by being paid by the municipal treasurer to the
2 County Collector, to the Department of Revenue and to the
3 municipality in direct proportion to the tax incremental
4 revenue received as a result of an increase in the equalized
5 assessed value of property in the redevelopment project area,
6 tax incremental revenue received from the State and tax
7 incremental revenue received from the municipality, but not to
8 exceed as to each such source the total incremental revenue
9 received from that source. The County Collector shall
10 thereafter make distribution to the respective taxing
11 districts in the same manner and proportion as the most recent
12 distribution by the county collector to the affected districts
13 of real property taxes from real property in the redevelopment
14 project area.
15     Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the
16 municipality may in addition to obligations secured by the
17 special tax allocation fund pledge for a period not greater
18 than the term of the obligations towards payment of such
19 obligations any part or any combination of the following: (a)
20 net revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project; (b)
21 taxes levied and collected on any or all property in the
22 municipality; (c) the full faith and credit of the
23 municipality; (d) a mortgage on part or all of the
24 redevelopment project; or (e) any other taxes or anticipated
25 receipts that the municipality may lawfully pledge.
26     Such obligations may be issued in one or more series
27 bearing interest at such rate or rates as the corporate
28 authorities of the municipality shall determine by ordinance.
29 Such obligations shall bear such date or dates, mature at such
30 time or times not exceeding 20 years from their respective
31 dates, be in such denomination, carry such registration
32 privileges, be executed in such manner, be payable in such
33 medium of payment at such place or places, contain such
34 covenants, terms and conditions, and be subject to redemption
35 as such ordinance shall provide. Obligations issued pursuant to
36 this Act may be sold at public or private sale at such price as

 

 

HB4330 - 88 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1 shall be determined by the corporate authorities of the
2 municipalities. No referendum approval of the electors shall be
3 required as a condition to the issuance of obligations pursuant
4 to this Division except as provided in this Section.
5     In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
6 obligations pursuant to the authority of this Division secured
7 by the full faith and credit of the municipality, which
8 obligations are other than obligations which may be issued
9 under home rule powers provided by Article VII, Section 6 of
10 the Illinois Constitution, or pledges taxes pursuant to (b) or
11 (c) of the second paragraph of this section, the ordinance
12 authorizing the issuance of such obligations or pledging such
13 taxes shall be published within 10 days after such ordinance
14 has been passed in one or more newspapers, with general
15 circulation within such municipality. The publication of the
16 ordinance shall be accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific
17 number of voters required to sign a petition requesting the
18 question of the issuance of such obligations or pledging taxes
19 to be submitted to the electors; (2) the time in which such
20 petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective
21 referendum. The municipal clerk shall provide a petition form
22 to any individual requesting one.
23     If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as
24 hereinafter provided in this Section, within 30 days after the
25 publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in effect.
26 But, if within that 30 day period a petition is filed with the
27 municipal clerk, signed by electors in the municipality
28 numbering 10% or more of the number of registered voters in the
29 municipality, asking that the question of issuing obligations
30 using full faith and credit of the municipality as security for
31 the cost of paying for redevelopment project costs, or of
32 pledging taxes for the payment of such obligations, or both, be
33 submitted to the electors of the municipality, the corporate
34 authorities of the municipality shall call a special election
35 in the manner provided by law to vote upon that question, or,
36 if a general, State or municipal election is to be held within

 

 

HB4330 - 89 - LRB094 16415 BDD 51674 b

1 a period of not less than 30 or more than 90 days from the date
2 such petition is filed, shall submit the question at the next
3 general, State or municipal election. If it appears upon the
4 canvass of the election by the corporate authorities that a
5 majority of electors voting upon the question voted in favor
6 thereof, the ordinance shall be in effect, but if a majority of
7 the electors voting upon the question are not in favor thereof,
8 the ordinance shall not take effect.
9     The ordinance authorizing the obligations may provide that
10 the obligations shall contain a recital that they are issued
11 pursuant to this Division, which recital shall be conclusive
12 evidence of their validity and of the regularity of their
13 issuance.
14     In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
15 obligations pursuant to this Section secured by the full faith
16 and credit of the municipality, the ordinance authorizing the
17 obligations may provide for the levy and collection of a direct
18 annual tax upon all taxable property within the municipality
19 sufficient to pay the principal thereof and interest thereon as
20 it matures, which levy may be in addition to and exclusive of
21 the maximum of all other taxes authorized to be levied by the
22 municipality, which levy, however, shall be abated to the
23 extent that monies from other sources are available for payment
24 of the obligations and the municipality certifies the amount of
25 said monies available to the county clerk.
26     A certified copy of such ordinance shall be filed with the
27 county clerk of each county in which any portion of the
28 municipality is situated, and shall constitute the authority
29 for the extension and collection of the taxes to be deposited
30 in the special tax allocation fund.
31     A municipality may also issue its obligations to refund in
32 whole or in part, obligations theretofore issued by such
33 municipality under the authority of this Act, whether at or
34 prior to maturity, provided however, that the last maturity of
35 the refunding obligations shall not be expressed to mature
36 later than December 31 of the year in which the payment to the

13     Sec. 11-74.4-7. Obligations secured by the special tax
14 allocation fund set forth in Section 11-74.4-8 for the
15 redevelopment project area may be issued to provide for
16 redevelopment project costs. Such obligations, when so issued,
17 shall be retired in the manner provided in the ordinance
18 authorizing the issuance of such obligations by the receipts of
19 taxes levied as specified in Section 11-74.4-9 against the
20 taxable property included in the area, by revenues as specified
21 by Section 11-74.4-8a and other revenue designated by the
22 municipality. A municipality may in the ordinance pledge all or
23 any part of the funds in and to be deposited in the special tax
24 allocation fund created pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8 to the
25 payment of the redevelopment project costs and obligations. Any
26 pledge of funds in the special tax allocation fund shall
27 provide for distribution to the taxing districts and to the
28 Illinois Department of Revenue of moneys not required, pledged,
29 earmarked, or otherwise designated for payment and securing of
30 the obligations and anticipated redevelopment project costs
31 and such excess funds shall be calculated annually and deemed
32 to be "surplus" funds. In the event a municipality only applies
33 or pledges a portion of the funds in the special tax allocation
34 fund for the payment or securing of anticipated redevelopment
35 project costs or of obligations, any such funds remaining in

1 the special tax allocation fund after complying with the
2 requirements of the application or pledge, shall also be
3 calculated annually and deemed "surplus" funds. All surplus
4 funds in the special tax allocation fund shall be distributed
5 annually within 180 days after the close of the municipality's
6 fiscal year by being paid by the municipal treasurer to the
7 County Collector, to the Department of Revenue and to the
8 municipality in direct proportion to the tax incremental
9 revenue received as a result of an increase in the equalized
10 assessed value of property in the redevelopment project area,
11 tax incremental revenue received from the State and tax
12 incremental revenue received from the municipality, but not to
13 exceed as to each such source the total incremental revenue
14 received from that source. The County Collector shall
15 thereafter make distribution to the respective taxing
16 districts in the same manner and proportion as the most recent
17 distribution by the county collector to the affected districts
18 of real property taxes from real property in the redevelopment
19 project area.
20     Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the
21 municipality may in addition to obligations secured by the
22 special tax allocation fund pledge for a period not greater
23 than the term of the obligations towards payment of such
24 obligations any part or any combination of the following: (a)
25 net revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project; (b)
26 taxes levied and collected on any or all property in the
27 municipality; (c) the full faith and credit of the
28 municipality; (d) a mortgage on part or all of the
29 redevelopment project; or (e) any other taxes or anticipated
30 receipts that the municipality may lawfully pledge.
31     Such obligations may be issued in one or more series
32 bearing interest at such rate or rates as the corporate
33 authorities of the municipality shall determine by ordinance.
34 Such obligations shall bear such date or dates, mature at such
35 time or times not exceeding 20 years from their respective
36 dates, be in such denomination, carry such registration

1 privileges, be executed in such manner, be payable in such
2 medium of payment at such place or places, contain such
3 covenants, terms and conditions, and be subject to redemption
4 as such ordinance shall provide. Obligations issued pursuant to
5 this Act may be sold at public or private sale at such price as
6 shall be determined by the corporate authorities of the

9 to this Division except as provided in this Section.
10     In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
11 obligations pursuant to the authority of this Division secured
12 by the full faith and credit of the municipality, which
13 obligations are other than obligations which may be issued
14 under home rule powers provided by Article VII, Section 6 of
15 the Illinois Constitution, or pledges taxes pursuant to (b) or
16 (c) of the second paragraph of this section, the ordinance
17 authorizing the issuance of such obligations or pledging such
18 taxes shall be published within 10 days after such ordinance
19 has been passed in one or more newspapers, with general
20 circulation within such municipality. The publication of the
21 ordinance shall be accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific
22 number of voters required to sign a petition requesting the
23 question of the issuance of such obligations or pledging taxes
24 to be submitted to the electors; (2) the time in which such
25 petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective
26 referendum. The municipal clerk shall provide a petition form
27 to any individual requesting one.
28     If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as
29 hereinafter provided in this Section, within 30 days after the
30 publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in effect.
31 But, if within that 30 day period a petition is filed with the
32 municipal clerk, signed by electors in the municipality
33 numbering 10% or more of the number of registered voters in the
34 municipality, asking that the question of issuing obligations
35 using full faith and credit of the municipality as security for
36 the cost of paying for redevelopment project costs, or of

4 in the manner provided by law to vote upon that question, or,
5 if a general, State or municipal election is to be held within
6 a period of not less than 30 or more than 90 days from the date
7 such petition is filed, shall submit the question at the next
8 general, State or municipal election. If it appears upon the
9 canvass of the election by the corporate authorities that a
10 majority of electors voting upon the question voted in favor
