4 following:
 
5     "Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
6 changing Sections 11-74.4-3 and 11-74.4-7 as follows:
 
7     (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-3)  (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-3)
8     Sec. 11-74.4-3. Definitions. The following terms,
9 wherever used or referred to in this Division 74.4 shall have
10 the following respective meanings, unless in any case a
11 different meaning clearly appears from the context.
12     (a) For any redevelopment project area that has been
13 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
14 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
15 91-478), "blighted area" shall have the meaning set forth in
16 this Section prior to that date.
17     On and after November 1, 1999, "blighted area" means any
18 improved or vacant area within the boundaries of a
19 redevelopment project area located within the territorial
20 limits of the municipality where:
21         (1) If improved, industrial, commercial, and
22     residential buildings or improvements are detrimental to
23     the public safety, health, or welfare because of a
24     combination of 5 or more of the following factors, each of

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 2 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

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

20         With respect to surface improvements, that the
21         condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters,
22         sidewalks, off-street parking, and surface storage
23         areas evidence deterioration, including, but not
24         limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
25         depressions, loose paving material, and weeds
26         protruding through paved surfaces.

1         the presence of structures below minimum code
2         standards.
3             (F) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
4         that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that
5         represent an adverse influence on the area because of
6         the frequency, extent, or duration of the vacancies.
7             (G) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
8         facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for
9         light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without
10         windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor,
11         gas, smoke, or other noxious airborne materials.
12         Inadequate natural light and ventilation means the
13         absence of skylights or windows for interior spaces or
14         rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by room
15         area to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary
16         facilities refers to the absence or inadequacy of
17         garbage storage and enclosure, bathroom facilities,
18         hot water and kitchens, and structural inadequacies
19         preventing ingress and egress to and from all rooms and

21             (H) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
22         utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
23         sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and

26         insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
27         redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated,
28         antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii)
29         lacking within the redevelopment project area.
30             (I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
31         structures and community facilities. The
32         over-intensive use of property and the crowding of
33         buildings and accessory facilities onto a site.
34         Examples of problem conditions warranting the

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 4 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

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

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 5 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

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

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 6 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

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

2         Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
3         by the United States Department of Labor or successor
4         agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the
5         year in which the redevelopment project area is
6         designated.
7         (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
8     project area is impaired by one of the following factors
9     that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a
10     meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
11     find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
12     of the Act and (ii) is reasonably distributed throughout
13     the vacant part of the redevelopment project area to which
14     it pertains:
15             (A) The area consists of one or more unused
16         quarries, mines, or strip mine ponds.
17             (B) The area consists of unused railyards, rail
18         tracks, or railroad rights-of-way.

20         to (i) chronic flooding that adversely impacts on real
21         property in the area as certified by a registered
22         professional engineer or appropriate regulatory agency
23         or (ii) surface water that discharges from all or a
24         part of the area and contributes to flooding within the
25         same watershed, but only if the redevelopment project
26         provides for facilities or improvements to contribute
27         to the alleviation of all or part of the flooding.
28             (D) The area consists of an unused or illegal
29         disposal site containing earth, stone, building
30         debris, or similar materials that were removed from

4         in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the area has been
5         designated as a town or village center by ordinance or
6         comprehensive plan adopted prior to January 1, 1982,
7         and the area has not been developed for that designated
8         purpose.
9             (F) The area qualified as a blighted improved area
10         immediately prior to becoming vacant, unless there has
11         been substantial private investment in the immediately
12         surrounding area.
13     (b) 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), "conservation area" shall have the meaning set forth
17 in this Section prior to that date.
18     On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means
19 any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment
20 project area located within the territorial limits of the
21 municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area
22 have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not yet a
23 blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more of the
24 following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health,
25 morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
26         (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or
27     neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural
28     components of buildings or improvements in such a
29     combination that a documented building condition analysis
30     determines that major repair is required or the defects are
31     so serious and so extensive that the buildings must be
32     removed.
33         (2) Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling
34     into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited for the

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 9 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

1     original use.
2         (3) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects
3     including, but not limited to, major defects in the

7     alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking, and
8     surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including,
9     but not limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
10     depressions, loose paving material, and weeds protruding
11     through paved surfaces.
12         (4) Presence of structures below minimum code
13     standards. All structures that do not meet the standards of

16     including housing and property maintenance codes.
17         (5) Illegal use of individual structures. The use of
18     structures in violation of applicable federal, State, or
19     local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the presence
20     of structures below minimum code standards.

22     that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent an
23     adverse influence on the area because of the frequency,
24     extent, or duration of the vacancies.
25         (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
26     facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for light
27     or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or
28     that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or
29     other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate natural light

1     bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and
2     structural inadequacies preventing ingress and egress to
3     and from all rooms and units within a building.
4         (8) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
5     utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage, sanitary
6     sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and electrical

10     deteriorated, antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or
11     (iii) lacking within the redevelopment project area.
12         (9) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
13     structures and community facilities. The over-intensive
14     use of property and the crowding of buildings and accessory
15     facilities onto a site. Examples of problem conditions
16     warranting the designation of an area as one exhibiting
17     excessive land coverage are: the presence of buildings
18     either improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels
19     of inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
20     standards of development for health and safety and the
21     presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel. For
22     there to be a finding of excessive land coverage, these
23     parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
24     conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
25     within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of
26     fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of
27     adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, lack of

1         (11) Lack of community planning. The proposed
2     redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
3     without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This
4     means that the development occurred prior to the adoption
5     by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community
6     plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the
7     area's development. This factor must be documented by
8     evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use
9     relationships, inadequate street layout, improper
10     subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet
11     contemporary development standards, or other evidence
12     demonstrating an absence of effective community planning.
13         (12) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
14     Protection Agency or United States Environmental
15     Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
16     conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
17     having expertise in environmental remediation has
18     determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
19     hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
20     required by State or federal law, provided that the
21     remediation costs constitute a material impediment to the
22     development or redevelopment of the redevelopment project
23     area.
24         (13) The total equalized assessed value of the proposed
25     redevelopment project area has declined for 3 of the last 5
26     calendar years for which information is available or is
27     increasing at an annual rate that is less than the balance
28     of the municipality for 3 of the last 5 calendar years for
29     which information is available or is increasing at an
30     annual rate that is less than the Consumer Price Index for
31     All Urban Consumers published by the United States
32     Department of Labor or successor agency for 3 of the last 5
33     calendar years for which information is available.
34     (c) "Industrial park" means an area in a blighted or

12 surplus municipality or within 1 1/2 miles of the territorial
13 limits of a municipality that is a labor surplus municipality
14 if the area is annexed to the municipality; which area is zoned
15 as industrial no later than at the time the municipality by
16 ordinance designates the redevelopment project area, and which
17 area includes both vacant land suitable for use as an
18 industrial park and a blighted area or conservation area
19 contiguous to such vacant land.
20     (e) "Labor surplus municipality" means a municipality in
21 which, at any time during the 6 months before the municipality
22 by ordinance designates an industrial park conservation area,
23 the unemployment rate was over 6% and was also 100% or more of
24 the national average unemployment rate for that same time as
25 published in the United States Department of Labor Bureau of
26 Labor Statistics publication entitled "The Employment
27 Situation" or its successor publication. For the purpose of
28 this subsection, if unemployment rate statistics for the
29 municipality are not available, the unemployment rate in the
30 municipality shall be deemed to be the same as the unemployment
31 rate in the principal county in which the municipality is
32 located.
33     (f) "Municipality" shall mean a city, village or

21 Tax Boundary, as the case may be, exist over and above the
22 aggregate amount of taxes as certified by the Illinois
23 Department of Revenue and paid under the Municipal Retailers'
24 Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax Act
25 by retailers and servicemen, on transactions at places of
26 business located in the redevelopment project area or State
27 Sales Tax Boundary, as the case may be, during the base year
28 which shall be the calendar year immediately prior to the year

9 Boundary, as the case may be, the certified Initial Sales Tax
10 Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
11 Initial Sales Tax Amounts for the Municipal Retailers'
12 Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax
13 Act. For the State Fiscal Year 1989, this calculation shall be
14 made by utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax
15 amounts received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this
16 calculation shall be made by utilizing the period from January
17 1, 1988, until September 30, 1988, to determine the tax amounts
18 received from retailers and servicemen pursuant to the
19 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service
20 Occupation Tax Act, which shall have deducted therefrom
21 nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the
22 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales
23 Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State Fiscal Year 1991,
24 this calculation shall be made by utilizing the period from
25 October 1, 1988, to June 30, 1989, 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,
30 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales
31 Tax Amounts as appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year
32 thereafter, the applicable period shall be the 12 months
33 beginning July 1 and ending June 30 to determine the tax
34 amounts received which shall have deducted therefrom the

1 certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales
2 Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts, as the
3 case may be.
4     (i) "Net State Sales Tax Increment" means the sum of the
5 following: (a) 80% of the first $100,000 of State Sales Tax
6 Increment annually generated within a State Sales Tax Boundary;
7 (b) 60% of the amount in excess of $100,000 but not exceeding
8 $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually generated within
9 a State Sales Tax Boundary; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
10 excess of $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually
11 generated within a State Sales Tax Boundary. If, however, a
12 municipality established a tax increment financing district in
13 a county with a population in excess of 3,000,000 before
14 January 1, 1986, and the municipality entered into a contract
15 or issued bonds after January 1, 1986, but before December 31,
16 1986, to finance redevelopment project costs within a State
17 Sales Tax Boundary, then the Net State Sales Tax Increment
18 means, for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990, and July 1,
19 1991, 100% of the State Sales Tax Increment annually generated
20 within a State Sales Tax Boundary; and notwithstanding any
21 other provision of this Act, for those fiscal years the
22 Department of Revenue shall distribute to those municipalities
23 100% of their Net State Sales Tax Increment before any
24 distribution to any other municipality and regardless of
25 whether or not those other municipalities will receive 100% of
26 their Net State Sales Tax Increment. For Fiscal Year 1999, and
27 every year thereafter until the year 2007, for any municipality
28 that has not entered into a contract or has not issued bonds
29 prior to June 1, 1988 to finance redevelopment project costs
30 within a State Sales Tax Boundary, the Net State Sales Tax
31 Increment shall be calculated as follows: By multiplying the
32 Net State Sales Tax Increment by 90% in the State Fiscal Year
33 1999; 80% in the State Fiscal Year 2000; 70% in the State
34 Fiscal Year 2001; 60% in the State Fiscal Year 2002; 50% in the

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

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 17 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

1 project area under Section 9-222 of the Public Utilities Act,
2 over and above the aggregate of such charges as certified by
3 the Department of Revenue and paid by owners and tenants, other
4 than residential customers, of properties within the
5 redevelopment project area during the base year, which shall be
6 the calendar year immediately prior to the year of the adoption
7 of the ordinance authorizing tax increment allocation
8 financing.
9     (k) "Net State Utility Tax Increment" means the sum of the
10 following: (a) 80% of the first $100,000 of State Utility Tax
11 Increment annually generated by a redevelopment project area;
12 (b) 60% of the amount in excess of $100,000 but not exceeding
13 $500,000 of the State Utility Tax Increment annually generated
14 by a redevelopment project area; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
15 excess of $500,000 of State Utility Tax Increment annually
16 generated by a redevelopment project area. For the State Fiscal
17 Year 1999, and every year thereafter until the year 2007, for
18 any municipality that has not entered into a contract or has
19 not issued bonds prior to June 1, 1988 to finance redevelopment
20 project costs within a redevelopment project area, the Net
21 State Utility Tax Increment shall be calculated as follows: By
22 multiplying the Net State Utility Tax Increment by 90% in the
23 State Fiscal Year 1999; 80% in the State Fiscal Year 2000; 70%
24 in the State Fiscal Year 2001; 60% in the State Fiscal Year
25 2002; 50% in the State Fiscal Year 2003; 40% in the State
26 Fiscal Year 2004; 30% in the State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the
27 State Fiscal Year 2006; and 10% in the State Fiscal Year 2007.
28 No payment shall be made for the State Fiscal Year 2008 and
29 thereafter.
30     Municipalities that issue bonds in connection with the
31 redevelopment project during the period from June 1, 1988 until
32 3 years after the effective date of this Amendatory Act of 1988
33 shall receive the Net State Utility Tax Increment, subject to
34 appropriation, for 15 State Fiscal Years after the issuance of

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 18 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

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.
6 Refunding of any bonds issued prior to June 1, 1988, shall not
7 alter the revised Net State Utility Tax Increment payments set
8 forth above.
9     (l) "Obligations" mean bonds, loans, debentures, notes,
10 special certificates or other evidence of indebtedness issued
11 by the municipality to carry out a redevelopment project or to
12 refund outstanding obligations.
13     (m) "Payment in lieu of taxes" means those estimated tax
14 revenues from real property in a redevelopment project area
15 derived from real property that has been acquired by a
16 municipality which according to the redevelopment project or
17 plan is to be used for a private use which taxing districts
18 would have received had a municipality not acquired the real
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
22 current equalized value of real property in the redevelopment
23 project area exceeds the total initial equalized value of real
24 property in said area.
25     (n) "Redevelopment plan" means the comprehensive program
26 of the municipality for development or redevelopment intended
27 by the payment of redevelopment project costs to reduce or
28 eliminate those conditions the existence of which qualified the
29 redevelopment project area as a "blighted area" or
30 "conservation area" or combination thereof or "industrial park
31 conservation area," and thereby to enhance the tax bases of the
32 taxing districts which extend into the redevelopment project
33 area. On and after November 1, 1999 (the effective date of
34 Public Act 91-478), no redevelopment plan may be approved or

20     demand;
21         (D) the sources of funds to pay costs;

11 subsection (k) of Section 11-74.4-4, a time and place for a
12 public hearing as required by subsection (a) of Section
13 11-74.4-5. No redevelopment plan shall be adopted unless a
14 municipality complies with all of the following requirements:
15         (1) The municipality finds that the redevelopment
16     project area on the whole has not been subject to growth

27     termination procedures of subsection (b) of Section

29     areas in 2009 but are required in 2013. The extension
30     allowed by this amendatory Act of 1993 shall not apply to
31     real property tax increment allocation financing under
32     Section 11-74.4-8.
33         A municipality may by municipal ordinance amend an
34     existing redevelopment plan to conform to this paragraph

1     (3) as amended by Public Act 91-478, which municipal
2     ordinance may be adopted without further hearing or notice
3     and without complying with the procedures provided in this
4     Act pertaining to an amendment to or the initial approval
5     of a redevelopment plan and project and designation of a
6     redevelopment project area.
7         Those dates, for purposes of real property tax
8     increment allocation financing pursuant to Section
9     11-74.4-8 only, shall be not more than 35 years for
10     redevelopment project areas that were adopted on or after
11     December 16, 1986 and for which at least $8 million worth
12     of municipal bonds were authorized on or after December 19,
13     1989 but before January 1, 1990; provided that the
14     municipality elects to extend the life of the redevelopment
15     project area to 35 years by the adoption of an ordinance
16     after at least 14 but not more than 30 days' written notice
17     to the taxing bodies, that would otherwise constitute the
18     joint review board for the redevelopment project area,
19     before the adoption of the ordinance.
20         Those dates, for purposes of real property tax
21     increment allocation financing pursuant to Section
22     11-74.4-8 only, shall be not more than 35 years for
23     redevelopment project areas that were established on or
24     after December 1, 1981 but before January 1, 1982 and for
25     which at least $1,500,000 worth of tax increment revenue
26     bonds were authorized on or after September 30, 1990 but
27     before July 1, 1991; provided that the municipality elects
28     to extend the life of the redevelopment project area to 35
29     years by the adoption of an ordinance after at least 14 but
30     not more than 30 days' written notice to the taxing bodies,
31     that would otherwise constitute the joint review board for
32     the redevelopment project area, before the adoption of the
33     ordinance.
34         (3.5) The municipality finds, in the case of an

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 25 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

1     industrial park conservation area, also that the
2     municipality is a labor surplus municipality and that the
3     implementation of the redevelopment plan will reduce
4     unemployment, create new jobs and by the provision of new
5     facilities enhance the tax base of the taxing districts
6     that extend into the redevelopment project area.
7         (4) If any incremental revenues are being utilized
8     under Section 8(a)(1) or 8(a)(2) of this Act in
9     redevelopment project areas approved by ordinance after
10     January 1, 1986, the municipality finds: (a) that the
11     redevelopment project area would not reasonably be
12     developed without the use of such incremental revenues, and
13     (b) that such incremental revenues will be exclusively
14     utilized for the development of the redevelopment project
15     area.
16         (5) If the redevelopment plan will not result in
17     displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
18     residential units, and the municipality certifies in the
19     plan that such displacement will not result from the plan,
20     a housing impact study need not be performed. If, however,
21     the redevelopment plan would result in the displacement of
22     residents from 10 or more inhabited residential units, or
23     if the redevelopment project area contains 75 or more
24     inhabited residential units and no certification is made,
25     then the municipality shall prepare, as part of the
26     separate feasibility report required by subsection (a) of
27     Section 11-74.4-5, a housing impact study.
28         Part I of the housing impact study shall include (i)
29     data as to whether the residential units are single family
30     or multi-family units, (ii) the number and type of rooms
31     within the units, if that information is available, (iii)
32     whether the units are inhabited or uninhabited, as
33     determined not less than 45 days before the date that the
34     ordinance or resolution required by subsection (a) of

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 26 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

1     Section 11-74.4-5 is passed, and (iv) data as to the racial
2     and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited

27     existing redevelopment project areas be removed after
28     November 1, 1999 unless the redevelopment plan provides,
29     with respect to inhabited housing units that are to be
30     removed for households of low-income and very low-income
31     persons, affordable housing and relocation assistance not
32     less than that which would be provided under the federal

14     units than specified in its original redevelopment plan,
15     that change shall be made in accordance with the procedures
16     in subsection (c) of Section 11-74.4-5.
17         (9) For redevelopment project areas designated prior

22     registrant on the interested party registry, to authorize
23     the municipality to expend tax increment revenues for
24     redevelopment project costs defined by paragraphs (5) and
25     (7.5), subparagraphs (E) and (F) of paragraph (11), and
26     paragraph (11.5) of subsection (q) of Section 11-74.4-3, so
27     long as the changes do not increase the total estimated

10     used to provide offices, storage space, or conference
11     facilities or vehicle storage, maintenance, or repair for

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

19     (ii) the municipality makes a reasonable determination in
20     the redevelopment plan, supported by information that
21     provides the basis for that determination, that the new

17     the municipality or because the municipality incurs the
18     cost of necessary infrastructure improvements within the
19     boundaries of the assisted housing sites necessary for the

30         more than $5,900, excluding any school district with a
31         population in excess of 1,000,000, by multiplying the
32         district's increase in attendance resulting from the
33         net increase in new students enrolled in that school
34         district who reside in housing units within the

5         the boundaries of the housing sites necessary for the
6         completion of that housing as authorized by this Act
7         since the designation of the redevelopment project
8         area by the most recently available per capita tuition

15         with reasonable evidence to support its claim for
16         reimbursement before the municipality shall be
17         required to approve or make the payment to the school

21         School districts may adopt a resolution waiving the
22         right to all or a portion of the reimbursement

3     technical fields leading directly to employment, incurred
4     by one or more taxing districts, provided that such costs
5     (i) are related to the establishment and maintenance of
6     additional job training, advanced vocational education or
7     career education programs for persons employed or to be
8     employed by employers located in a redevelopment project
9     area; and (ii) when incurred by a taxing district or taxing
10     districts other than the municipality, are set forth in a
11     written agreement by or among the municipality and the
12     taxing district or taxing districts, which agreement
13     describes the program to be undertaken, including but not
14     limited to the number of employees to be trained, a
15     description of the training and services to be provided,
16     the number and type of positions available or to be
17     available, itemized costs of the program and sources of
18     funds to pay for the same, and the term of the agreement.
19     Such costs include, specifically, the payment by community
20     college districts of costs pursuant to Sections 3-37, 3-38,

30             (B) such payments in any one year may not exceed
31         30% of the annual interest costs incurred by the
32         redeveloper with regard to the redevelopment project
33         during that year;
34             (C) if there are not sufficient funds available in

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 36 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

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

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

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.

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

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 38 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

1         for costs associated with the units or for the
2         retirement of bonds issued to finance the units or for
3         the life of the redevelopment project area, whichever
4         is later.
5         (11.5) If the redevelopment project area is located
6     within a municipality with a population of more than
7     100,000, the cost of day care services for children of
8     employees from low-income families working for businesses
9     located within the redevelopment project area and all or a
10     portion of the cost of operation of day care centers
11     established by redevelopment project area businesses to
12     serve employees from low-income families working in
13     businesses located in the redevelopment project area. For
14     the purposes of this paragraph, "low-income families"
15     means families whose annual income does not exceed 80% of
16     the municipal, county, or regional median income, adjusted
17     for family size, as the annual income and municipal,
18     county, or regional median income are determined from time
19     to time by the United States Department of Housing and
20     Urban Development.
21         (12) Unless explicitly stated herein the cost of
22     construction of new privately-owned buildings shall not be
23     an eligible redevelopment project cost.
24         (13) After November 1, 1999 (the effective date of
25     Public Act 91-478), none of the redevelopment project costs
26     enumerated in this subsection shall be eligible
27     redevelopment project costs if those costs would provide
28     direct financial support to a retail entity initiating
29     operations in the redevelopment project area while
30     terminating operations at another Illinois location within

11 the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special Service Area Tax
12 Law, then any tax increment revenues derived from the tax

34 District Fund, for as long as State participation exists, over

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 40 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

1 and above the Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales
2 Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts for such
3 taxes as certified by the Department of Revenue and paid under
4 those Acts by retailers and servicemen on transactions at
5 places of business located within the State Sales Tax Boundary
6 during the base year which shall be the calendar year
7 immediately prior to the year in which the municipality adopted
8 tax increment allocation financing, less 3.0% of such amounts
9 generated under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Use Tax Act
10 and Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act,
11 which sum shall be appropriated to the Department of Revenue to
12 cover its costs of administering and enforcing this Section.
13 For purposes of computing the aggregate amount of such taxes
14 for base years occurring prior to 1985, the Department of
15 Revenue shall compute the Initial Sales Tax Amount for such
16 taxes and deduct therefrom an amount equal to 4% of the
17 aggregate amount of taxes per year for each year the base year
18 is prior to 1985, but not to exceed a total deduction of 12%.
19 The amount so determined shall be known as the "Adjusted
20 Initial Sales Tax Amount". For purposes of determining the
21 State Sales Tax Increment the Department of Revenue shall for
22 each period subtract from the tax amounts received from
23 retailers and servicemen on transactions located in the State
24 Sales Tax Boundary, the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts,
25 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or Revised Initial Sales Tax
26 Amounts for the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act,
27 the Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act. For
28 the State Fiscal Year 1989 this calculation shall be made by
29 utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax amounts
30 received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this calculation
31 shall be made by utilizing the period from January 1, 1988,
32 until September 30, 1988, to determine the tax amounts received
33 from retailers and servicemen, which shall have deducted
34 therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax

1 Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
2 Initial Sales Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State Fiscal
3 Year 1991, this calculation shall be made by utilizing the
4 period from October 1, 1988, until June 30, 1989, to determine
5 the tax amounts received from retailers and servicemen, which
6 shall have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified
7 Initial State Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax
8 Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts as
9 appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year thereafter, the
10 applicable period shall be the 12 months beginning July 1 and
11 ending on June 30, to determine the tax amounts received which
12 shall have deducted therefrom the certified Initial Sales Tax
13 Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
14 Initial Sales Tax Amounts. Municipalities intending to receive
15 a distribution of State Sales Tax Increment must report a list
16 of retailers to the Department of Revenue by October 31, 1988
17 and by July 31, of each year thereafter.

25 taxing districts for capital improvements that are found by the
26 municipal corporate authorities to be necessary and directly

29 Act, "vacant land" means any parcel or combination of parcels
30 of real property without industrial, commercial, and
31 residential buildings which has not been used for commercial
32 agricultural purposes within 5 years prior to the designation
33 of the redevelopment project area, unless the parcel is
34 included in an industrial park conservation area or the parcel

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 42 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

1 has been subdivided; provided that if the parcel was part of a
2 larger tract that has been divided into 3 or more smaller
3 tracts that were accepted for recording during the period from
4 1950 to 1990, then the parcel shall be deemed to have been
5 subdivided, and all proceedings and actions of the municipality
6 taken in that connection with respect to any previously
7 approved or designated redevelopment project area or amended
8 redevelopment project area are hereby validated and hereby
9 declared to be legally sufficient for all purposes of this Act.
10 For purposes of this Section and only for land subject to the
11 subdivision requirements of the Plat Act, land is subdivided
12 when the original plat of the proposed Redevelopment Project
13 Area or relevant portion thereof has been properly certified,
14 acknowledged, approved, and recorded or filed in accordance
15 with the Plat Act and a preliminary plat, if any, for any
16 subsequent phases of the proposed Redevelopment Project Area or
17 relevant portion thereof has been properly approved and filed

19 municipality.
20     (w) "Annual Total Increment" means the sum of each
21 municipality's annual Net Sales Tax Increment and each
22 municipality's annual Net Utility Tax Increment. The ratio of
23 the Annual Total Increment of each municipality to the Annual

25 calculated by the Department, shall determine the proportional
26 shares of the Illinois Tax Increment Fund to be distributed to
27 each municipality.

31     Sec. 11-74.4-7. Obligations secured by the special tax
32 allocation fund set forth in Section 11-74.4-8 for the
33 redevelopment project area may be issued to provide for

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 43 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

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

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 44 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

1 thereafter make distribution to the respective taxing
2 districts in the same manner and proportion as the most recent
3 distribution by the county collector to the affected districts
4 of real property taxes from real property in the redevelopment
5 project area.
6     Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the
7 municipality may in addition to obligations secured by the
8 special tax allocation fund pledge for a period not greater
9 than the term of the obligations towards payment of such
10 obligations any part or any combination of the following: (a)
11 net revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project; (b)
12 taxes levied and collected on any or all property in the
13 municipality; (c) the full faith and credit of the
14 municipality; (d) a mortgage on part or all of the
15 redevelopment project; or (e) any other taxes or anticipated
16 receipts that the municipality may lawfully pledge.
17     Such obligations may be issued in one or more series
18 bearing interest at such rate or rates as the corporate
19 authorities of the municipality shall determine by ordinance.
20 Such obligations shall bear such date or dates, mature at such
21 time or times not exceeding 20 years from their respective
22 dates, be in such denomination, carry such registration
23 privileges, be executed in such manner, be payable in such
24 medium of payment at such place or places, contain such
25 covenants, terms and conditions, and be subject to redemption
26 as such ordinance shall provide. Obligations issued pursuant to
27 this Act may be sold at public or private sale at such price as
28 shall be determined by the corporate authorities of the
29 municipalities. No referendum approval of the electors shall be
30 required as a condition to the issuance of obligations pursuant
31 to this Division except as provided in this Section.
32     In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
33 obligations pursuant to the authority of this Division secured
34 by the full faith and credit of the municipality, which

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 45 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

1 obligations are other than obligations which may be issued
2 under home rule powers provided by Article VII, Section 6 of
3 the Illinois Constitution, or pledges taxes pursuant to (b) or
4 (c) of the second paragraph of this section, the ordinance
5 authorizing the issuance of such obligations or pledging such
6 taxes shall be published within 10 days after such ordinance
7 has been passed in one or more newspapers, with general
8 circulation within such municipality. The publication of the
9 ordinance shall be accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific
10 number of voters required to sign a petition requesting the
11 question of the issuance of such obligations or pledging taxes
12 to be submitted to the electors; (2) the time in which such
13 petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective
14 referendum. The municipal clerk shall provide a petition form
15 to any individual requesting one.
16     If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as
17 hereinafter provided in this Section, within 30 days after the
18 publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in effect.
19 But, if within that 30 day period a petition is filed with the
20 municipal clerk, signed by electors in the municipality
21 numbering 10% or more of the number of registered voters in the
22 municipality, asking that the question of issuing obligations
23 using full faith and credit of the municipality as security for
24 the cost of paying for redevelopment project costs, or of
25 pledging taxes for the payment of such obligations, or both, be
26 submitted to the electors of the municipality, the corporate
27 authorities of the municipality shall call a special election
28 in the manner provided by law to vote upon that question, or,
29 if a general, State or municipal election is to be held within
30 a period of not less than 30 or more than 90 days from the date
31 such petition is filed, shall submit the question at the next
32 general, State or municipal election. If it appears upon the
33 canvass of the election by the corporate authorities that a
34 majority of electors voting upon the question voted in favor

 

 

09300SB2411ham002 - 46 - LRB093 19301 BDD 50870 a

1 thereof, the ordinance shall be in effect, but if a majority of
2 the electors voting upon the question are not in favor thereof,
3 the ordinance shall not take effect.
4     The ordinance authorizing the obligations may provide that
5 the obligations shall contain a recital that they are issued
6 pursuant to this Division, which recital shall be conclusive
7 evidence of their validity and of the regularity of their
8 issuance.
9     In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
10 obligations pursuant to this Section secured by the full faith
11 and credit of the municipality, the ordinance authorizing the
12 obligations may provide for the levy and collection of a direct
13 annual tax upon all taxable property within the municipality
14 sufficient to pay the principal thereof and interest thereon as
15 it matures, which levy may be in addition to and exclusive of
16 the maximum of all other taxes authorized to be levied by the
17 municipality, which levy, however, shall be abated to the
18 extent that monies from other sources are available for payment
19 of the obligations and the municipality certifies the amount of
20 said monies available to the county clerk.
21     A certified copy of such ordinance shall be filed with the
22 county clerk of each county in which any portion of the
23 municipality is situated, and shall constitute the authority
24 for the extension and collection of the taxes to be deposited
25 in the special tax allocation fund.
26     A municipality may also issue its obligations to refund in
27 whole or in part, obligations theretofore issued by such
28 municipality under the authority of this Act, whether at or
29 prior to maturity, provided however, that the last maturity of
30 the refunding obligations shall not be expressed to mature
31 later than December 31 of the year in which the payment to the
32 municipal treasurer as provided in subsection (b) of Section
33 11-74.4-8 of this Act is to be made with respect to ad valorem
