EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 
The Illinois General Assembly passed the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-1 et.seq.) (the "Act") to address the growing number of blighted areas in many Illinois municipalities. The blighting of communities impairs the value of private investment and threatens the growth of the community's tax base. The Act declares that in order to promote the public health, safety, morals, and welfare, blighting conditions must be eliminated.
 
Therefore, to induce redevelopment pursuant to the Act, the Chicago City Council adopted three ordinances on September 13, 1989 approving the Michigan/Cermak Increment Financing Redevelopment Project and Plan (the "Original Plan"); designating the Michigan/Cermak Project Area (the "Original Redevelopment Project Area"); and adopting tax increment financing for the Original Redevelopment Project Area. On March 21, 1990, the City adopted an ordinance amending the Original Plan to exclude certain parcels that were unnecessary to the implementation of the plan and to correct certain scrivener's errors in the legal description for the Original Redevelopment Project Area ("Amendment No. 1"). On May 12, 1999, the City Council adopted an ordinance to incorporate "portability" language as included in the Act, and to correct certain scrivener's errors in the legal description of the Original Redevelopment Project Area ("Amendment No. 2"). On October 6, 2010, the City Council adopted an ordinance amending the Original Plan to allow for a 24th year thereby extending the Original Redevelopment Project Area to December 31, 2013, ("Amendment No. 3").
 
In May of 2013 the Johnson Research Group, Inc. ("JRG") was retained by the City of Chicago to further amend the Original Plan to extend the life of the Original Redevelopment Project Area, amend the redevelopment project estimated project costs, bring the Original Plan up to current City ordinance and policy standards, and identify property for acquisition. The changes to the Original Plan are presented Section by Section and follow the format of the Original Plan. Changes are prefaced in italics with the appropriate replaced text below in this document entitled the Michigan/Cermak TIF Redevelopment Project and Plan - Amendment No. 4 ("Amendment No. 4").
 
The City hereby certifies that there will not be displacement of 10 or more inhabited units as a result of the Original Plan. As such, a housing impact study is not required as part of Amendment No. 4.
 
This Amendment No. 4 report summarizes the changes to the Original Plan that will allow for the term of the Original Redevelopment Project Area to be extended an additional 12 years for a completion date of December 31, 2025. The changes in the document also include updating and amending the Estimated Redevelopment Project Costs and land use plan. Unless otherwise noted, the content of this report is the responsibility of JRG.

V.      REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
  1. Redevelopment Plan and Project Objectives
Section V.A is amended by deleting Section V.A, including the header and replacing it with the following:
A.      Redevelopment Plan and Project Goals and Objectives
This section presents the Redevelopment Project anticipated to be undertaken by the City and by other public and private entities on behalf of the City in furtherance of this Redevelopment Plan. The Redevelopment Project, as outlined in this section conforms to the plans and policies in place within the Project Area including the Chicago Zoning Ordinance and the Near South Community Plan (December 2003).
  1. General Land-Use Plan
Section V.B is amended by adding the following text before the first sentence of paragraph two:
The types of land uses as shown in Exhibit 4 "Proposed Land Use Map" are consistent with the overall planning efforts of the City as of the date of Amendment No. 4 to this Redevelopment Plan and may be modified from time to time with the appropriate approvals from the City. As long as any proposed land use is consistent with the intent and approval of the City, as may change from

Auaust 2 2013
 
time to time, the City may enter into a Redevelopment Agreement that contemplates TIF Assistance without another amendment to this Redevelopment Plan.
 
Section V.B is further amended by adding the following text after the last paragraph:
 
 
Commercial - this designation applies to the Project Area from Prairie Avenue to State Street and includes the northern edge of the historic Motor Row Historic District. A variety of commercial uses including but not limited to retail, entertainment, cultural, commercial events centers, and other active ground floor uses are encouraged along Cermak Road and Michigan Avenue with complementary commercial and retail uses on secondary streets.
 
The area should encourage entertainment and recreational uses and activities, creating a synergy between the McCormick Place campus, the Motor Row entertainment district, and the retail and dining establishments within the Chinatown neighborhood.
 
This supports the City's goal of enhancing Chicago's competitiveness as a premier tourism and entertainment destination. The linkage of these entertainment centers increases the "visitor-friendliness" and quality of place from McCormick Place on the east to Chinatown on the west, and facilitates seamless and coordinated access to the attractions and unique features of these areas for both residents and tourists alike.
 
Institutional/Industrial - this designation is intended for the Project Area that encompasses a portion of the McCormick Place campus between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Indiana Avenue, south of Cermak Road. This district encourages active, pedestrian-oriented uses that will link the McCormick Place campus with other viable and complementary uses in the immediate area to the entertainment and dining establishments further west in the Chinatown neighborhood. Redevelopment and public/private infrastructure projects funded by the TIF may be implemented to improve the City's convention competitiveness and expansion of the business activities of the McCormick Place, in an effort to promote opportunities for increased visitor and business attraction.
 
C.      Redevelopment Program
 
Section V. C. is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
C.      Redevelopment Improvements and Activities
The City proposes to achieve its redevelopment goals and objectives for the Project Area through the use of public financing techniques including, but not limited to, tax increment financing, to undertake some or all of the activities and improvements authorized under the Act, including the activities and improvements described below. The City also maintains the flexibility to undertake additional activities and improvements authorized under the Act, if the need for activities or improvements change as redevelopment occurs in the Project Area.
 
 
Michigan/Cermak TIF Redevelopment Plan - Amendment No. 4      Page 3
AiiQust2.2013
 
The City may enter into redevelopment agreements or intergovernmental agreements with public or private entities for the furtherance of this Redevelopment Plan to construct, rehabilitate, renovate or restore improvements for public or private facilities on one or several parcels for any other lawful purpose. Redevelopment agreements may contain terms and provisions that are more specific than the general principles set forth in this Redevelopment Plan and which include affordable housing requirements as described below.
Developers who receive TIF assistance for market-rate housing are required to set aside 20 percent of the units as affordable units. For-sale housing must be affordable to households earning no more than 100 percent of the area median income, as defined by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). Rental units must be affordable to households earning no more than 60 percent of the area median income.
  1. Property Assembly
Property acquisition and land assembly by the private sector in accordance with this Redevelopment Plan will be encouraged by the City. To meet the goals and objectives of this Redevelopment Plan, the City may acquire and assemble property throughout the Project Area. Land assemblage by the City may be by purchase, exchange, donation, lease, eminent domain, through the Tax Reactivation Program or other programs and may be for the purpose of: (a) sale, lease or conveyance to private developers; or (b) sale, lease, conveyance or dedication for the construction of public improvements or facilities. Furthermore, the City may require written redevelopment agreements with developers before acquiring any properties. As appropriate, the City may devote acquired property to temporary uses until such property is scheduled for disposition and development.
In connection with the City exercising its power to acquire real property, including the exercise of the power of eminent domain, under the Act in implementing the Redevelopment Plan, the City will follow its customary procedures of having each such acquisition recommended by the Community Development Commission (or any successor commission) and authorized by the City Council of the City. Acquisition of such real property as may be authorized by the City Council does not constitute a change in the nature of this Redevelopment Plan.
The City or a private developer may acquire any historic structure (whether a designated City or State landmark on, or eligible for nomination to, the National Register of Historic Places) and (a) demolish any non-historic feature of such structure; (b) demolish all or portions, as allowed by laws, of historic structures, if necessary, to implement a project that meets the goals and objectives of the Redevelopment Plan; and (c) incorporate any historic structure or historic feature into a development on the subject property or adjoining property.
  1. Relocation
Relocation assistance may be provided to facilitate redevelopment of portions of the Project Area and to meet other City objectives. Business or households legally occupying properties that may be acquired by the City subsequent to this Redevelopment Plan may be provided with relocation advisory and financial assistance as determined by the City.

In the event the Act is amended after the date of the approval of this Redevelopment Plan by the City Council of Chicago to (a) include new eligible redevelopment project costs, or (b) expand the scope or increase the amount of existing eligible redevelopment project costs (such as, for example, by increasing the amount of incurred interest costs that may be paid under 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-3(q)(11)), this Redevelopment Plan shall be deemed to incorporate such additional, expanded or increased eligible costs as Redevelopment Project Costs under the Redevelopment Plan, to the extent permitted by the Act. In the event of such amendment(s) to the Act, the City may add any new eligible redevelopment project costs as a line item in Table 1 or otherwise adjust the line items in Table 1 without amendment to this Redevelopment Plan, to the extent permitted by the Act.

2. Estimated Redevelopment Project Costs
 
To eliminate the blighting factors present in the Project Area and to meet the redevelopment objectives, the City plans to make and/or induce a number of improvements in the Project Area. Table 1 identifies the eligible Redevelopment Project Costs under the Act that the City may utilize to implement the Redevelopment Plan over the Project Area's term. The redevelopment project shall be completed, and all obligations issued to finance redevelopment costs shall be retired, no later than December 31, 2025, the year in which the payment to the City treasurer as provided in the Act is to be made with respect to ad valorem taxes levied in the thirty-fifth calendar year following the year in which the ordinance approving the Project Area was adopted.
 
Redevelopment projects in the Project Area would not reasonably be anticipated to be developed without the extension ofthe life ofthe Redevelopment Plan.

[1] This category may also include paying for or reimbursing: (i) an elementary, secondary or unit school district's increased costs attributed to assisted housing units, and (ii) capital costs of taxing districts impacted by the redevelopment of the Area. As permitted by the Act, to the extent the City by written agreement accepts and approves the same, the City may pay, or reimburse all, or a portion of a taxing district's capital costs resulting from a redevelopment project necessarily incurred or to be incurred within a taxing district in furtherance of the objectives of the Redevelopment Plan.
[2] Total Redevelopment Project Costs represent an upper limit on expenditures that are to be funded using tax increment revenues and exclude any additional financing costs, including any interest expense, capitalized interest and costs associated with optional redemptions. These additional financing costs are subject to prevailing market conditions and are in addition to Total Redevelopment Project Costs. Adjustments to the estimated line item costs in Exhibit I are anticipated, and may be made by the City without further amendment to this Redevelopment Plan to the extent permitted by the Act. Each individual project cost will be re-evaluated in light of the projected private development and resulting incremental tax revenues as it is considered for public financing under the provisions of the Act. The totals of the line items stated above are not intended to place a limit on the described expenditures. Adjustments may be made in line items within the total, either increasing or decreasing line item costs as a result of changed redevelopment costs and needs.
[3] The amount of the Total Redevelopment Costs that can be incurred in the Project Area will be reduced by the amount of redevelopment project costs incurred in contiguous redevelopment project areas, or those separated from the Project Area only by a public right-of-way, that are permitted under the Act to be paid, and are paid, from incremental property taxes generated in the Project Area, but will not be reduced by the amount of redevelopment project costs incurred in the Project Area which are paid from incremental property taxes generated in contiguous redevelopment project areas or those separated from the Project Area only by a public right-of-way.
[4] All costs are shown in 2013 dollars and may be increased by five percent (5%) after adjusting for inflation reflected in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") for All Urban Consumers for All Items for the Chicago-Gary-Kenosha, IL-IN-WI CMSA, published by the U.S. Department of Labor or a similar index acceptable to the City.
Additional funding from other sources such as federal, state, county, or local grant funds may be utilized to supplement the City's ability to finance Redevelopment Project Costs identified above.

E.      Sources of Funds to Pay Redevelopment Project Costs
 
Section V.E is deleted and replaced with the following:
 
Funds necessary to pay for Redevelopment Project Costs and secure municipal obligations issued for such costs are to be derived primarily from Incremental Property Taxes. Other sources of funds which may be used to pay for Redevelopment Project Costs or secure municipal obligations are land disposition proceeds, state and federal grants, investment income, private financing and other legally permissible funds the City may deem appropriate. The City may incur redevelopment project costs which are paid for from funds of the City other than incremental taxes, and the City may then be reimbursed from such costs from incremental taxes. Also, the City may permit the utilization of guarantees, deposits and other forms of security made available by private sector developers. Additionally, the City may utilize revenues, other than State sales tax increment revenues, received under the Act from one redevelopment project area for eligible costs in another redevelopment project area that is either contiguous to, or is separated only by a public right-of-way from, the redevelopment project area from which the revenues are received.
 
The Project Area may be contiguous to or separated by only a public right-of-way from other redevelopment project areas created under the Act. The City may utilize net incremental property taxes received from the Project Area to pay eligible redevelopment project costs, or obligations issued to pay such costs, in other contiguous redevelopment project areas or project areas separated only by a public right-of-way, and vice versa. The amount of revenue from the Project Area, made available to support such contiguous redevelopment project areas, or those separated only by a public right-of-way, when added to all amounts used to pay eligible Redevelopment Project Costs within the Project Area, shall not at any time exceed the total Redevelopment Project Costs described in this Redevelopment Plan.
 
The Project Area may become contiguous to, or be separated only by a public right-of-way from, redevelopment project areas created under the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law (65 ILCS 5/11-74.6-1, et Industrial Jobs Recovery Law (65 ILCS 5/11-74.6-1, et seq.). If the City finds that the goals, objectives and financial success of such contiguous redevelopment project areas or those separated only by a public right-of-way are interdependent with those of the Project Area, the City may determine that it is in the best interests of the City and the furtherance of the purposes of the Redevelopment Plan that net revenues from the Project Area be made available to support any such redevelopment project areas, and vice versa. The City therefore proposes to utilize net incremental revenues received from the Project Area to pay eligible redevelopment project costs (which are eligible under the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law referred to above) in any such areas and vice versa. Such revenues may be transferred or loaned between the Project Area and such areas. The amount of revenue from the Project Area so made available, when added to all amounts used to pay eligible Redevelopment Project Costs within the Project Area or other areas as described in the preceding paragraph, shall not at any time exceed the total Redevelopment Project Costs described in Table 1 of this Redevelopment Plan.

F.      Nature and Term of Obligations to be Issued
 
Section V.F is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
F.      Issuance of Obligations
The City may issue obligations secured by Incremental Property Taxes pursuant to Section 11-74.4-7 of the Act. To enhance the security of a municipal obligation, the City may pledge its full faith and credit through the issuance of general obligations bonds. Additionally, the City may provide other legally permissible credit enhancements to any obligations issued pursuant to the Act.
 
The Redevelopment Project shall be completed, and all obligations issued to finance redevelopment costs shall be retired, no later than December 31 of the year in which the payment to the City treasurer as provided in the Act is to be made with respect to ad valorem taxes levied in the thirty-fifth calendar year following the year in which the ordinance approving the Project Area is adopted.
 
Also, the final maturity date of any such obligations which are issued may not be later than 20 years from their respective dates of issue. One or more series of obligations may be sold at one or more times in order to implement this Redevelopment Plan. Obligations may be issued on a parity or subordinated basis.
 
In addition to paying Redevelopment Project Costs, Incremental Property Taxes may be used for the scheduled retirement of obligations, mandatory or optional redemptions, establishment of debt service reserves and bond sinking funds. To the extent that Incremental Property Taxes are not needed for these purposes, and are not otherwise required, pledged, earmarked or otherwise designated for the payment of Redevelopment Project Costs, any excess Incremental Property Taxes shall then become available for distribution annually to taxing districts having jurisdiction over the Project Area in the manner provided by the Act.

Section V. G including the header, is deleted and replaced with the following:
 
G.      Valuation of the Project Area
1. Certified Base EAV
 
The purpose of identifying the most recent equalized assessed valuation ("EAV") of the Project Area is to provide an estimate of the initial EAV which the Cook County Clerk will certify for the purpose of annually calculating the incremental EAV and incremental property taxes of the Project Area. The Certified Initial EAV of all taxable parcels in the Project Area is $5,858,634. The Redevelopment Plan has utilized the EAVs for the 1989 tax year.

By the tax year 2025 (collection year 2026) and following the substantial completion of the Redevelopment Project, the EAV of the Project Area is estimated at approximately $174,368,545. The estimate is based on several assumptions, including 1) redevelopment of the Project Area will occur in a timely manner; 2) approximately 300 new residential condominiums will be constructed in the Project Area between 2013 and 2025; 3) approximately 50,000 square feet of new retail/office/restaurant space; 4) the construction of a new 500 room hotel; 5) an estimated annual inflation rate in EAV of 3.0 percent through 2025, realized in triennial reassessment years only; and (6) the most recent state equalization factor of 2.8056 (2012 value) is used in all years to calculate estimated EAV.
