WHEREAS, pursuant to an ordinance adopted December 16, 1983, and published in the Journal of Proceedings at pages 3991 to 3993, amended by ordinance adopted November 6, 2002, and published in the Journal of Proceedings at pages 95277 to 95285, and most recently amended again by ordinance adopted on April 10, 2013 (said ordinances and all amendments collectively referred to as the "Enterprise Zone Ordinance"), the City Council established "Enterprise Zone 4" in accordance with the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act, 20 ILCS 665/1, et seq., finding, among other things, that Enterprise Zone 4 is a depressed area; and
 
WHEREAS, certain real estate located at 2501 North Elston Avenue in Chicago (the "Project Site"), as more precisely described on Exhibit A attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof, is located within the boundaries of Enterprise Zone 4; and
 
WHEREAS, Delta Real Estate Holdings, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company ("Applicant"), proposes to construct and operate an approximately 101,596 square foot automobile dealership on the Project Site (the "Project"); and
WHEREAS, the Project will increase employment opportunities, economic activity in the area and growth in the real property tax base; and
 
WHEREAS, Stewart and David Reich, individuals, ("Owners") currently hold legal title to the Project Site, and it is anticipated that the Owners will transfer title to the Project Site to the Applicant or an affiliated designee in connection with the Project; and
 
WHEREAS, the Applicant intends to apply to the Office of the Assessor of Cook County, Illinois (the "Assessor") for designation of the Project Site as a Class 7b classification eligible for certain real estate tax incentives; and
 
WHEREAS, Section 74-65(b) of the Cook County Real Estate Classification Ordinance, as amended, (the "Classification Ordinance"), provides that prior to filing an eligibility application with the Assessor, an applicant for Class 7b classification must obtain an ordinance or resolution from the municipality in which the real estate is located expressly stating that (a) the municipality has determined that eligibility factors (1) through (5) under Section 74-65(a) of the Classification Ordinance are present, and (b) the municipality supports and consents to the Class 7b application to the Assessor; and
 
WHEREAS, the Department of Housing and Economic Development of the City of Chicago ("HED") has reviewed the proposed Project, has determined that it meets the necessary eligibility requirements for Class 7b designation, and hereby recommends to City Council that the City expressly determine by ordinance that (a) the required eligibility factors are present, and (b) the City supports and consents to the Class 7b application to the Assessor by the Applicant for the Project; now, therefore,

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO:
 
SECTION 1. The above recitals are hereby expressly incorporated as if fully set forth
herein.
 
SECTION 2. The City hereby determines that the Project meets eligibility factor (1) under Section 74-65(a) of the Classification Ordinance in that the Project Site is blighted and is located in an area in need of commercial development.
 
SECTION 3. The City hereby determines that the Project meets eligibility factor (2) under Section 74-65(a) of the Classification Ordinance in that real estate taxes in the area during the last six years have either declined, remained stagnant and/or potential real estate taxes are not being fully realized due to the depressed condition of the area.
 
SECTION 4. The City hereby determines that the Project meets eligibility factor (3) under Section 74-65(a) of the Classification Ordinance in that there is a reasonable expectation that the Project is viable and likely to go forward on a reasonably timely basis if granted Class 7b designation and will therefore result in the economic enhancement of the area.
 
SECTION 5. The City hereby determines that the Project meets eligibility factor (4) under Section 74-65(a) of the Classification Ordinance in that certification of the Project for Class 7b designation will materially assist development, redevelopment or rehabilitation of the area and the Project would not go forward without the full incentive offered under Class 7b.
 
SECTION 6. The City hereby determines that the Project meets eligibility factor (5) under Section 74-65(a) of the Classification Ordinance in that certification of the Project for Class 7b designation is reasonably expected to ultimately result in an increase in real property tax revenue and employment opportunities within the area.
 
SECTION 7. The City hereby expressly determines that eligibility factors (1) through (5) under Section 74-65(a) of the Classification Ordinance are present for the Project, and hereby expressly supports and consents to the Class 7b application of the Applicant to the Assessor for Class 7b designation of the Project and the Project Site.
 
SECTION 8. The Commissioner of HED (the "Commissioner"), or a designee of the Commissioner, are each hereby authorized to deliver a certified copy of this ordinance to the Assessor and to furnish such additional information as may be required in connection with the filing of the application by the Applicant with the Assessor for Class 7b designation of the Project.
