SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION
 
This document presents a Tax Increment Financing ("TIF") Redevelopment Plan and Project (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-1 et seq.) as amended, (the "Act") for the Washington Park Redevelopment Project Area (the "Project Area") located in the City of Chicago, Illinois (the "City"). The Project Area can be separated into three sections: 1. Washington Park (the "Park") is bounded by 51st and 60th Streets on the north and south, and Cottage Grove Avenue and Martin Luther King Drive on the east and west; 2. the neighborhood section which is generally bounded by Martin Luther King Drive and Washington Park on the east, the Dan Ryan Expressway on the west, Garfield Boulevard on the north and 63rd Street on the south; and 3. the industrial area south of 63rd Street to the Chicago Skyway, west of Prairie Avenue. The neighborhood section is roughly one (1) mile north to south and 0.8 miles east to west, centered on 59th Street and Michigan Avenue. The Park is roughly 1.2 miles north to south and 0.5 miles east to west, centered just north of the intersection of Morgan Drive and Rainey Drive. The industrial section is roughly two-thirds of a mile north to south and a third of a mile east to west, with a significant section of this area used as railway siding.
The Project Area consists of 988.4 acres in 2,272 parcels. There are 2,785 unique parcel identification numbers (PINS) represented in the 2,272 total parcels. The Project Area includes 241.8 acres for public rights-of-way for streets, alleyways, rail lines, and highways, leaving approximately 746.6 acres of usable land (either presently developed or vacant). The boundaries of the Project Area are described in the Plan Appendix, Attachment One - Legal Description and are geographically shown in the Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit A - Boundary Map of TIF Area.
The Plan summarizes the analyses and findings of Ernest R. Sawyer Enterprises, Inc. and subconsultants, PGAV PLANNERS and the Goodman Williams Group (jointly hereinafter referred to as the "Consultant") and, unless otherwise noted, is the responsibility of the Consultant. The City is entitled to rely on the findings and conclusions of this Plan in designating the Project Area as a redevelopment project area under the Act. The Consultant has prepared this Plan and the related eligibility study with the understanding that the City would rely: 1) on the findings and conclusions ofthe Plan and the related eligibility study in proceeding with the designation ofthe Project Area and the adoption and implementation of the Plan, and 2) on the fact that the Consultant has obtained the necessary information so that the Plan and the related eligibility study will comply with the Act.
 
The Plan presents certain factors, research and analysis undertaken to document the eligibility of the Project Area for designation as a "conservation area" for the improved portion of the Project Area and a "blighted area" for the vacant portion of the Project Area. The need for public intervention, along with goals and objectives, land use policies, and other policy materials are presented in the Plan. The results of a study documenting the eligibility of the Project Area as a conservation area for the improved portion of the Project Area and a blighted area for the vacant portion of the Project Area are presented in the Plan Appendix, Attachment Three -Eligibility Study.

Tax Increment Financing
The Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (the "Act") permits municipalities to induce redevelopment of eligible "blighted," "conservation" or "industrial park conservation areas" in accordance with an adopted redevelopment plan. The Act stipulates specific procedures that must be adhered to in designating a redevelopment project area. One of those procedures is the determination that the area meets the statutory eligibility requirements. Under 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-3(p), the Act defines a "redevelopment project area" as:
"... an area designated by the municipality, which is not less in the aggregate than 1-1/2 acres and in respect to which the municipality has made a finding that there exist conditions which cause the area to be classified as an industrial park conservation area or a blighted area or a conservation area or combination of both blighted areas and conservation areas."
 
In adopting the Act, the Illinois State Legislature found that:
  1. ...there exists in many municipalities within this State blighted, conservation and industrial park conservation areas...(at 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-2(a)); and
  2. ...the eradication of blighted areas and treatment and improvement of conservation areas by redevelopment projects is hereby declared to be essential to the public interest (at 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-2(b)).
 
The legislative findings were made on the basis that the presence of blight, or conditions that lead to blight, is detrimental to the safety, health, welfare and morals of the public. The Act specifies certain requirements that must be met before a municipality may proceed with implementing a redevelopment project in order to ensure that the exercise of these powers is proper and in the public interest.
The municipality must first determine that the proposed redevelopment area qualifies for designation as a "blighted area," "conservation area," "industrial park conservation area" or a combination "blighted and conservation areas." Based on the conditions present, the Eligibility Study concludes that the improved portion of the Project Area qualifies for designation as a conservation area and the vacant portion of the Project Area qualifies for designation as a blighted area under the Act.
 
Redevelopment projects are defined as any public or private development projects undertaken in furtherance of the objectives of the redevelopment plan and in accordance with the Act. The Act provides a means for municipalities, after the approval of a redevelopment plan and project, to redevelop blighted, conservation or industrial park conservation areas and to finance eligible "redevelopment project costs" with incremental property tax revenues. "Incremental Property Tax" or "Incremental Property Taxes" are derived from the increase in the current equalized assessed value (EAV) of real property within the redevelopment project area over and above the "Certified Initial EAV" of such real property. Any increase in EAV is then multiplied by the current tax rate to arrive at the Incremental Property Taxes. A decline in current EAV does not result in a negative Incremental Property Tax.
 
To finance redevelopment project costs, a municipality may issue obligations secured by Incremental Property Taxes to be generated within the redevelopment project area. In addition,
 
2014

City of Chicago

a municipality may pledge towards payment of such obligations any part or any combination of the following:
  1. net revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project;
  2. taxes levied and collected on any or all property in the municipality;
  3. the full faith and credit ofthe municipality;
  4. a mortgage on part or all of the redevelopment project; or
  5. any other taxes or anticipated receipts that the municipality may lawfully pledge.
Tax Increment Financing does not generate tax revenues. This financing mechanism allows the municipality to capture, for a certain number of years, the new tax revenues produced by the enhanced valuation of properties resulting from the municipality's redevelopment program, improvements and activities, various redevelopment projects, and the reassessment of properties. This revenue is then reinvested in the area through rehabilitation, developer subsidies, public improvements and other eligible redevelopment activities. All taxing districts continue to receive property taxes levied on the initial valuation of properties within the redevelopment project area. Additionally, taxing districts can receive distributions of excess Incremental Property Taxes when annual Incremental Property Taxes received exceed principal and interest obligations for that year and redevelopment project costs necessary to implement the redevelopment plan have been paid and such excess Incremental Property Taxes are not otherwise required, pledged or otherwise designated for other redevelopment projects. Taxing districts also benefit from the increased property tax base after redevelopment project costs and obligations are paid.
The City authorized an evaluation to determine whether a portion of the City, to be known as the Washington Park Redevelopment Project Area, qualifies for designation as a combination conservation area/blighted area pursuant to the provisions contained in the Act. If the Project Area is so qualified, the City requested the preparation of a redevelopment plan for the Project Area in accordance with the requirements ofthe Act.

Overview of the Washington Park Redevelopment Project Area
 
The Project Area is approximately 988.4 acres, including 241.8 acres for public rights-of-way for streets and alleyways and a portion of the Dan Ryan Expressway. Excluding public rights-of-way the Project Area consists of 746.6 acres situated in 2,272 parcels. There are 2,785 unique parcel identification numbers (PINS) represented in the 2,272 total parcels. The Project Area is the shape of a square, and includes a 351-acre recreational park, residential uses to the east, north and portions west of the expressway in addition to small commercial nodes and industrial uses in the south, north and west borders. The Project Area is located approximately seven (7) miles south of Chicago's downtown in the Washington Park community area. The Project Area includes eight (8) 2010 U.S. Census Tracts: 4003, 4004, 4005, 4008, 8345, 8346, 8361, and 8425; of which, only tract 4004 has shown population growth from 2000 to 2010.
 
The vast majority (92%) of the buildings within the Project Area are well over 35 years of age. Many of the commercial properties are in need of minor repairs in order to improve their appearance, property values, and to remain viable. The majority of the Project Area was developed prior to the existence of a comprehensive plan and prior to present day development standards. This is most apparent in the excessive land coverage and lack of provisions for off-street parking found throughout the Project Area. The Plan seeks to respond to problem conditions within the Project Area and reflects a commitment by the City to improve and revitalize the area.
 
In addition to over 50% of the buildings within the Project Area being 35 years or older, the improved tax blocks within the Project Area are characterized by the following statutory qualifying factors for a "conservation area" under Section 5/11-74.4-3(b) ofthe Act:
  1. Deterioration
  2. Inadequate utilities
  3. Deleterious land use or layout
  4. Lack of community planning
  5. Declining or sub-par EAV growth
 
The vacant parcels within the Project Area are characterized by the following statutory qualifying factors for a "blighted area" under Section 5/11-74.4-3(b) of the Act:
  1. Diversity of ownership
  2. Deterioration of structures or site improvements in neighboring areas
  3. Declining or sub-par EAV growth
 
In terms of net land area (total land area less public right-of-way and parcels used as street or rail right-of-way), approximately 16% ofthe Project Area is vacant land. If Washington Park and Dyett High School are excluded from the tabulation, vacant land accounts for about 31% of the net land area, or 952 individual parcels; 42% of the total parcels. Almost a third of the land in the Project Area, not including Washington Park/Dyett High School, is vacant land and is evidence of the extent of disinvestment. A case could also be made for excluding the industrial area south of 63rd Street from these vacant land calculations, which would only increase the percentage of vacant land in the Project Area. As a result of these conditions, the Project Area

is in need of redevelopment. In recognition of the unrealized potential of the Project Area, the City is taking action to facilitate its revitalization.
 
The Project Area, as a whole, has not been subject to growth and development by private enterprise and would not reasonably be anticipated to be developed without the adoption of the Plan. The Eligibility Study, in the Plan Appendix, Attachment Three - Eligibility Study, concludes that the property in this area is experiencing deterioration and a lack of sufficient investment. The analysis of conditions within the Project Area indicates the improved portion of the Project Area qualifies as a conservation area, and the vacant portion of the Project Area qualifies as a blighted area.
 
The purpose of the Plan is to create a mechanism to allow for the development of new commercial, mixed-use and community facilities on existing parcels and/or the improvement of existing commercial, mixed use, and residential properties; and the general improvement of the area's physical environment and infrastructure. The development of the Project Area is expected to encourage economic revitalization within the community and the surrounding area.
 
The Plan has been formulated in accordance with the provisions ofthe Act. This document is a guide to all proposed public and private actions in the Project Area that are assisted with tax increment financing.

SECTION 2. PROJECT AREA DESCRIPTION Brief History of the Community
The Washington Park Redevelopment Project Area sits within the greater Washington Park Community Area. Washington Park is located approximately seven (7) miles south of the Chicago Loop. The Project Area includes eight (8) 2010 U.S. Census Tracts: 4003, 4004, 4005, 4008, 8345, 8346, 8361, and 8425; of which, only tract 4004 has shown population growth from 2000 to 2010. The 351-acre recreational Washington Park along with the Walter H. Dyett High School site separates the Project Area from the more affluent eastern neighborhood of Hyde Park.
 
Settled by the Irish and German railroad and meat packing workers in the 1860s and 1870s, Washington Park was a growing community for much of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. By the 1890s German Jews began moving into east Washington Park and a small number of African Americans settled into the working class districts south of Garfield (55th) and west of State Street. Wealthy American born whites settled on the wide avenues that ran north towards the Loop. In 1893, confirmation that the Columbian Exposition would be held in Jackson Park also brought another influx to the community's population.
 
The development of the recreational park began in 1869 and was known as South Park until 1881. The park was later renamed Washington Park. After years of lobbying by prominent south side residents, the Illinois State Legislature authorized the creation of a five-member, governor appointed South Park Commission. Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux centered the park on a 100-acre greensward with surrounding walking trails, trees and shrubs. Olmsted and Vaux planned for a bandstand and refectory, a promenade, carriage roads and gathering places in the park. The park would be part of the boulevard system that linked the park north to the central business district. In addition, the architects' plans called for dredging and filling in wetlands in the park and the opening up of a canal between the park and Lake Michigan.
Transportation was the catalyst for much of the growth experienced by the south side neighborhoods; particularly in the Washington Park community during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. By 1887 cable cars reached as far south as 63rd Street on State Street and 67th Street on Cottage Grove Avenue. The "L" train system reached farther south than the Washington Park community by 1907. Cable cars, trains, and the wide boulevards provided easy access to Chicago's Loop for south side residents. Today, public transportation and highway access are still widely available to residents and visitors of Washington Park.
The site for the Race Riots of 1919, the Washington Park community was the home of many clashes between blacks and whites. The cultural institutions and churches have closely reflected the community's racial transition from one of the most racially diverse Chicago communities to a predominantly African American population. Greek Orthodox residents built SS. Constantine and Helen in 1909 and in 1948 the building was inhabited by an entirely African American Episcopal congregation. Many other churches in the Washington Park community such as St. Anselm Church in the 1930s, B'nai Shalom Temple Israel in 1925, were built in the early 20th century and sold to entirely African American congregations by the mid-1900s.St.

Mary's African Methodist Episcopal Church is the oldest black congregation in the Project Area and was established in 1897.
The early 1960s saw the construction of two of the Chicago Housing Authority's ("CHA") larger projects; Washington Park Homes and the Robert Taylor Homes. With the construction of these two projects, Washington Park had one of the highest concentrations of public housing in the United States. The Robert Taylor Homes consisted of 28 16-story high rises. When built, the homes planned for 11,000 residents, but at its peak housed up to 27,000 residents at once. The Robert Taylor Homes marked a failure for the CHA as socioeconomic problems perpetuated throughout the 1980s and 1990s and the City neglected property and building maintenance or building code updates. In 1996, HOPE VI federal funds were granted for off-site replacement housing for Robert Taylor Home residents. All apartments were planned to be vacated by 2005 and the last ofthe Robert Taylor buildings was demolished on March 8, 2007.
 
Current Land Use and Community Facilities
The eastern side of the Project Area is made up of Washington Park in addition to higher density residential uses. On the eastern boundary of the Project Area is Hyde Park, an affluent south side neighborhood that is home to the University of Chicago. Students and faculty have resided in Hyde Park for decades. As the demand for housing grows due to the growing number of university students, visitors and university faculty, they may choose to move to surrounding neighborhoods such as Washington Park. At the west end of the Project Area is the Englewood Community Area, which, until recently, was best known for the Englewood Mall. The Mall has recently been replaced by the Kennedy King College and the neighborhood has experienced a surge in housing demand and property values.
 
At intersections within and surrounding the Project Area, there are small commercial nodes. There are also some isolated industrial uses interspersed within the residential/commercial areas. Industrial corridors are located on the western border near Interstate Highway 90/94 (Dan Ryan Expressway) and also near the southwest boundary. Residential neighborhoods are also located on the western side of the Dan Ryan and to the north of the Project Area.
The Project Area includes a Chicago Fire Department station, located at the intersection of 59th Street and South Lafayette Avenue. While the Project Area offers some community facilities, there are no Chicago Police Department stations, public libraries or hospitals located within the boundaries of the Project Area.
 
Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit C - Existing Land Use Map shows a lack of community parks within the boundaries of the Project Area. In 1959 the Chicago Park District took one (1) parcel of property and created the Loraine Hansberry Park which provides limited open space to the residents within the Project Area. During the 1990's, the Chicago Park District replaced the existing basketball court (at Loraine Hansberry Park) with a children's playground. The children in the neighborhoods have little access to local neighborhood parks. While there are three (3) pre-kindergarten thru eighth grade schools within the Project Area, only one provides a school playground for children. Two (2) of the schools are community schools, while the third is a charter school. There is a prominent need for more neighborhood park space within the Project Area.

Additionally, over the course of the last few decades, residential buildings have been demolished as the buildings deteriorated and were vacated. These parcels were "blighted before vacant". The City has developed the Red X Program to identify properties with structural or interior hazards with a red "X" sign. These hazards can include, but are not limited to, building deterioration or damage from previous fires, structural hazards when components ofthe building have been removed, and collapse hazards due to the integrity of chimney tops, parapet walls, roof systems and or stair systems being compromised. The red "X" serves as an indicator to first responders to the existence of the hazards. Further, the presence ofthe red "X" makes it unlawful for any person to enter the building without first notifying the fire commissioner. The vacant land that remains speaks to the poor building conditions before the demolition, the challenges of the Area, and also presents a resource and opportunity for in-fill development and revitalization.
 
Landmark and Historic Buildings
The Washington Park Community Area is home to several architecturally or historically significant buildings. Washington Park, itself, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 as United States Registered Historic District and includes all contributing buildings and structures located within the park. The City's Park Boulevard System, including Garfield Boulevard, is in the process of being nominated for the National Register of Historic Places.
In 1995, the Commission on Chicago Landmarks completed an inventory of architecturally and historically significant structures. This inventory, called the Chicago Historic Resources Survey ("CHRS"), was a decade-long research effort to analyze the historic and architectural importance of all buildings constructed in the City prior to 1940. The CHRS database identifies each property's date of construction, architect, building style and type, Chicago Landmark status, inclusion in the Illinois Historic Structures Survey, and property identification numbers (PIN). A color-coded ranking system was used to identify historic and architectural significance relative to age, degree of external physical integrity, and level of possible significance.
 
According to the City of Chicago Landmarks Division, the following buildings in the Project Area are listed as category "Orange" on the CHRS. Orange properties possess some architectural feature or historical association that made them potentially significant in the context of the surrounding community. While there are other historic properties nearby the Project Area, the following list of 36 properties is representative of the "Orange"-coded CHRS properties in, or immediately adjacent to, the proposed TIF boundary.

The historic Raber House, located at 5760 S. Lafayette Avenue, was designated as an official Chicago Landmark in 1996.
 
Transportation Characteristics
Street System
Regional - The Project Area offers exceptional access to transportation routes both within the boundaries and entrance/exit routes to and from the Project Area as well as to and from other parts of the City of Chicago and the region. The western edge of the Project Area is bordered by Interstate Highway 90/94 (Dan Ryan Expressway) with entrance/exit ramps at 55th Street, 57th Street, 59th Street, and 63rd Street. Access to the expressway is also available traveling northbound on Wentworth Avenue and southbound on Wells Street. State Street provides entrance/exit ramps to the Chicago Skyway.
Local - For residents and visitors who choose to drive into, out of, and around the Project Area, there are many major thoroughfares linking the Project Area to other parts of the City. Within the Project Area, the major thoroughfares include north-south routes: Martin Luther King Drive ("King Drive"), Michigan Avenue, Indiana Avenue, Cottage Grove Avenue and State Street; and east-west routes: Garfield Boulevard and 63rd Street. Due to the location of the Dan Ryan Expressway at the western boundary of the Project Area, east and west access across the expressway is limited to Garfield Boulevard, 57th, 59th, and 63rd Streets.

Public Transportation
The Chicago Transit Authority ("CTA") has many terminals located within the Project Area. CTA's Red and Green lines travel north/south to connect the Project Area to Chicago's Loop located seven (7) miles north, and farther south to Chicago's southern neighborhoods. Within the boundaries, the CTA Red Line stops at Garfield Boulevard and 63rd Street, along the Dan Ryan Expressway. The CTA Green Line provides two stops along King Drive; at Garfield Boulevard and at 63rd Street. Within a few blocks of the Project Area boundaries, the CTA Red Line stops at 47th Street, 51st Street, and at the intersection of 63rd Street and Cottage Grove Avenue.
CTA buses also service the interior with many stops in close proximity to the Project Area. There are eight (8) bus lines with stops within the Project Area with three (3) additional express buses and three (3) bus lines with stops adjacent to the Project Area that service residents and visitors within the Project Area's boundaries. CTA bus routes within the boundaries of the Project Area are listed below:
 
Bus # Route
3/X3      North-south route along King Drive
4/X4      North-south route along Cottage Grove Avenue
15      East-west along 51st Street
24      Northbound route on Wentworth Avenue and south on Yale Avenue
29      North-south route on State Street
55/X55      East-west route along Garfield Boulevard
59      East-west route along 60th and 61st Streets
63      East-west route along 63rd Street
 
The following CTA buses stop in close proximity to the Project Area: #2, #15, #51, and #170. The CTA buses, in conjunction with CTA's Red and Green Lines, provide excellent public transportation options for residents and visitors within the Project Area.
 
Pedestrian Transportation
Pedestrian traffic in and throughout the Project Area is concentrated along the major arterial streets, with Garfield Boulevard, 51st Street, King Drive and Cottage Grove Avenue having the largest concentrations. The higher concentration of pedestrian traffic in these areas is associated with commuters utilizing the CTA bus and rail lines along this route and access to the recreational opportunities found in Washington Park. Concentration of pedestrian traffic is also associated with schools located within the Project Area. Most pedestrian traffic around schools is present during the peak periods before and after school hours.
 
There are sidewalks on most of the streets within the Project Area that connect pedestrians from north to south and east to west. The major thoroughfares provide crosswalks at intersections for pedestrian safety. Many of the sidewalks in the Project Area are cracked and uneven; neglect of sidewalk maintenance may make it difficult for children, elderly and/or handicapped individuals to use sidewalks as a form of transportation.

SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY OF THE PROJECT AREA FORDESIGNATION AS A CONSERVATION/BLIGHTED AREA
 
The Project Area, on the whole, has not been subject to significant growth and development through investment by private enterprise. Based on the conditions present, the Project Area is not likely to be comprehensively or effectively developed without the adoption of the Plan. A series of studies were undertaken to establish whether the land in the Project Area is eligible for designation in accordance with the requirements of the Act. This analysis, documented in the Plan Appendix, Attachment Three - Eligibility Study concluded that the Project Area so qualifies.
The improved parcels within the Project Area are characterized by the following statutory qualifying factors for a "conservation area" under Section 5/11-74.4-3(b) of the Act:
  • the predominance of buildings that are 35 years of age or older (92% of buildings)1;
  • deteriorated buildings (63% of buildings);
  • deteriorated site improvements (29% of parcels);
  • deteriorated street and/or sidewalk pavement (86% of sub-areas);
  • dilapidated buildings (4% of buildings);
  • obsolete buildings (10% of buildings);
primary buildings with excessive vacancies (20%);
  • excessive land coverage (30% of improved parcels);
  • inadequate utilities (76% of sub-areas);
  • deleterious land use or layout (48% of sub-areas);
  • lack of community planning (62% of sub-areas); and,
  • demonstrates declining and sub-par EAV growth.
See Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit B - Sub Area Key.
The vacant parcels within the Project Area, which constitutes approximately 120.6 acres (31% of net land area, not including The Park), represented on 952 parcels and by 21 sub-areas for this Plan. The vacant portion of the Project Area is characterized by the following statutory qualifying factors for a "blighted area" under Section 5/11-74.4-3(b) of the Act: •   obsolete platting (37% of parcels);
  • diversity of ownership (43% of sub-areas);
  • tax delinquencies (21 % of vacant parcels; 50% of taxable vacant parcels);
    • deterioration of structures or site improvements in neighboring areas (94% of vacant parcels); and,
  • demonstrates declining or sub-par EAV growth.
For more detail on the basis for eligibility and definitions of these terms, refer to the Eligibility Study in Plan Appendix, Attachment Three - Eligibility Study.
Historic Equalized Assessed Values (EAV's) for the Project Area, the rate of EAV growth for the City and the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in the Chicago-Gary-Kenosha MSA for the period between 2008 and 2013 are considered to identify development
 
1 This is 42% greater than the statutory requirement. Under the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, for designation of an area as a Conservation Area, 50% or more of the buildings must be 35 years of age or older.

activity and determine assessed value trends. As discussed in Section ll-B of Attachment Three - Eligibility Study, analysis of historic EAV for the Project Area indicated that the Project Area's EAV has declined in 2010, 2011, and 2012 and has also experienced growth at a rate less than that of the balance of the City and less than the annual Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers in the Chicago-Gary-Kenosha MSA in those same years. Between 2008 and 2013, the EAV ofthe Project Area decreased from $119.5 million to $76.5 million (see Table 2-3 in Plan Appendix, Attachment Three - Eligibility Study). The table demonstrates that:
  1. In at least 3 of the past 5 years, the EAV growth of the proposed Project Area has declined;
  2. In at least 3 of the past 5 years, the EAV growth of the proposed Project Area has been less than the EAV growth of the remainder of the City; and,
  3. In at least 3 of the past 5 years, the EAV growth of the proposed Project Area has been less than the CPI-U ofthe Chicago-Gary-Kenosha MSA.
While any one of the above conditions regarding property valuation is sufficient under the TIF Act to demonstrate evidence of a declining EAV, all 3 conditions are present in the proposed Project Area. A continuation of this minimal level of private investment may exacerbate deterioration and other conservation conditions within the Project Area. There is little incentive for commercial and residential developers to initiate new projects or make major investments in the Project Area, without public financial assistance that may include the use of tax increment financing.
Despite small incremental improvements scattered throughout the Project Area, there exist conditions that continue to threaten the public safety, health and welfare of the Project Area. While not an eligibility factor under the Act, crime statistics also provide evidence that these threatening conditions are present in the Project Area. Recent crime statistics (Chicago Tribune -2014, May 19. Retrieved from http://crime.chicagotribune.com/chicago/community/ for the month of April 2014, obtained from the City of Chicago Data Portal) indicate the Washington Park Community Area currently ranks 7th among Chicago's 77 community areas in violent crime reports; 2nd for property crime reports; and 10th for quality of life crime reports. Other crime data sources may differ, but all indicated that the Washington Park Community Area has a high rate of crime. Furthermore, the presence of factors indicated by the Act include deteriorated, obsolete structures; building vacancies; inadequate utilities; land use incompatibilities; deteriorated streets and sidewalks; declining or sub-par EAV growth; and the predominance of underutilized, vacant and tax exempt or tax delinquent properties in the Project Area and may result in continued disinvestment that will not be overcome without action by the City. These conditions have been previously documented in this report. All properties within the Project Area will benefit from the TIF program.

SECTION 5. REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
The City proposes to achieve its redevelopment goals and objectives for the Project Area through the use of public financing techniques, including tax increment financing, and by undertaking some or all ofthe following actions:
 
Property Assembly, Site Preparation and Environmental Remediation
To meet the goals and objectives of the 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 or through the Tax Reactivation Program, 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.
 
Plan Appendix, Attachment 2, Exhibit H-1, Land Acquisition Overview Map indicates the parcels that may be acquired for redevelopment in the Project Area. Plan Appendix, Attachment 2, Exhibit H-2 contains Land Acquisition by Block and Parcel Identification Number which portrays the acquisition properties in more detail.
In connection with the City exercising its power to acquire real property not currently identified in Plan Appendix, Attachment 2, including the exercise of the power of eminent domain, under the Act in implementing the 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. Acquisition of such real property as may be authorized by the City Council does not constitute a change in the nature of this plan.
For properties described in Plan Appendix, Attachment 2: (1) the acquisition of occupied properties by the City shall commence within four years from the date of the publication of the ordinance approving the Plan; (2) the acquisition of vacant properties by the City shall commence within ten years from the date of publication of the ordinance authorizing the acquisition. In either case, acquisition shall be deemed to have commenced with the sending of an offer letter. After the expiration ofthe applicable period, the City may acquire such property pursuant to this Plan under the Act according to its customary procedures as described in the preceding paragraph.
 
Affordable Housing
The City requires that developers who receive TIF assistance for market rate housing set aside 20% of the units to meet affordability criteria established by the City's Department of Planning and Development or any successor agency. Generally, this means the affordable for-sale units should be priced at a level that is affordable to persons earning no more than 100% of the area median income, and affordable rental units should be affordable to persons earning no more than 60% of the area median income.
 
Intergovernmental and Redevelopment Agreements
The City may enter into redevelopment agreements or intergovernmental agreements with private entities or public entities to construct, rehabilitate, renovate or restore private or
 
2014

Ernest R. Sawyer Enterprises
PGAVPLANNERS
 
City of Chicago
Washington Park TIF Redevelopment Plan and Project
 
 
 
public improvements on one (1) or several parcels (collectively referred to as "Redevelopment Projects"). Such redevelopment agreements may be needed to support the rehabilitation or construction of allowable private improvements, in accordance with the Plan; incur costs or reimburse developers for other eligible redevelopment project costs as provided in the Act in implementing the Plan; and provide public improvements and facilities which may include, but are not limited to utilities, street closures, transit improvements, streetscape enhancements, signalization, parking, surface right-of-way improvements, public schools and parks.
Terms of redevelopment as part of this redevelopment project may be incorporated in the appropriate redevelopment agreements. For example, the City may agree to reimburse a developer for incurring certain eligible redevelopment project costs under the Act. Such agreements may contain specific development controls as allowed by the Act.
 
Financial Impact on Taxing Districts
The Act requires an assessment of any financial impact of the Project Area on, or any increased demand for services from any taxing district affected by the Plan and a description of any program to address such financial impacts or increased demand. The City intends to monitor development in the Project Area and with the cooperation of the other affected taxing districts will attempt to ensure that any increased needs are addressed in connection with any particular development.
 
Costs Eligible for Payment with TIF Funds Include:
 
Analysis, Professional Services and Administrative Activities
The City may undertake or engage professional consultants, engineers, architects, attorneys, and others to conduct various analyses, studies, administrative or legal services to establish, implement, and manage the Plan.
 
Financing Costs Pursuant to the Act
Interest on any obligations issued under the Act accruing during the estimated period of construction of the redevelopment project and other financing costs may be paid from the incremental tax revenues pursuant to the provisions of the Act.
 
Interest Costs Pursuant to the Act
Pursuant to the Act, the City may allocate a portion of the incremental tax revenues to pay or reimburse developers for interest costs incurred in connection with redevelopment activities in order to enhance the redevelopment potential of the Project Area.
 
Construction of New Low-Income Housing Pursuant to the Act
Pursuant to the Act, the City may pay from incremental tax revenues up to 50% of the cost of construction of new housing units to be occupied by low-income and very low-income households as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act. The cost of construction of those units may be derived from the proceeds of bonds issued by the City under this act or other constitutional or statutory or from other sources of municipal revenue that may be reimbursed from incremental tax revenues or the proceeds of bonds issued to finance the construction of that housing.

SECTION 6. REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Plan seeks to maintain and enhance most of the existing land uses with a focus on residential and mixed use (defined as commercial, residential, and/or institutional uses) redevelopment. A mix of commercial and light industrial uses is planned for the frontage of Wentworth Avenue and portions of State Street. The construction of new infrastructure is seen as an essential part of needed redevelopment due to the documentation of inadequate utilities in much ofthe Project Area.
The plan recognizes that new investment in residential, institutional, commercial and mixed-use property is needed to improve the appearance, vibrancy, and overall economic health of the Project Area. Such investment will create the high quality environment that is required to sustain a revitalization of the Project Area. The major physical improvements anticipated as a result of implementing the proposed Plan are outlined below.
 
Residential Development
Residential uses may take the form of various single-family and multi-family developments, with density and height restrictions consistent with existing zoning. Open space and neighborhood-oriented community facilities are also acceptable in these residential areas along most frontages on Wabash, Michigan and Indiana Avenues. Since a majority of the existing Project Area is residential, the Plan seeks to promote residential infill on vacant properties and also encourages site assembly to allow for larger multi-family residential development where permitted. In areas where there are multiple adjacent vacant parcels and/or vacant residential buildings that are so deteriorated that demolition may become necessary in the near future, the Plan encourages site assembly for redevelopment of larger, multi-family residential development and infill housing.
 
As set forth in the Act, if the redevelopment plan for a redevelopment project area would result in the displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited residential units, or if the redevelopment project area contains 75 or more inhabited residential units and a municipality is unable to certify that no displacement will occur, the municipality must prepare a housing impact study and incorporated the study in the redevelopment project plan.
 
The Project Area contains 3,590 inhabited residential units. The Plan provides for the development or redevelopment of several portions of the Project Area that may contain occupied residential units. As a result, it is possible that by implementation of this Plan, the displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited residential units could occur.
 
The results of the housing impact study section are described in a separate report which presents certain factual information required by the Act. The report, prepared by the Consultant, is entitled Washington Park Project Area Tax Increment Financing Housing Impact Study, and is located in Plan Appendix, Attachment Six.
 
Mixed Use (Commercial/Residential/lnstitutional)
The Plan recognizes that attractive new commercial development, coupled with stabilization and expansion of existing businesses, will encourage investment in residential property as well as provide a diverse mix of job opportunities for the residents ofthe Project Area. Additionally, the Plan seeks widespread residential development which will ultimately create an increased demand for commercial and retail uses. Currently, there are opportunities for several retail and

City of Chicago
Washington Park TIF Redevelopment Plan and Project
 
 
 
commercial corridors along the frontages of State Street, Michigan Avenue, Calumet Avenue and King Drive to compliment and promote expansion of existing smaller commercial nodes.
On State Street and Michigan Avenue there exists a diverse mix of commercial, retail and residential uses on the same block and many times on adjacent properties. Mixed use redevelopment is therefore encouraged along the frontages of State Street and Michigan Avenue, with the exception of the slated construction of a new park space south of 57th Place at State Street, to revitalize and strengthen these commercial corridors that serve residents and businesses in and around the Project Area.
Community organizations have expressed a particular desire for more restaurants, cultural venues, and retail merchandisers. In addition to providing an opportunity for retail development along State Street and Michigan Avenue, the Plan seeks to promote mixed use redevelopment along the west side of King Drive and along Calumet Avenue. Many of the existing multi-family housing units are currently vacant. Additionally, there are numerous vacant tax parcels. The Plan seeks to promote new commercial .redevelopment along these streets to create productive and vibrant commercial corridors that would provide a variety of job opportunities for existing and future residents of the Project Area.
Commercial and Light Industrial
The Plan seeks to promote the growth of existing commercial and light industrial uses within the Project Area and to encourage and attract new enterprises along Wentworth Avenue and along State Street south of 59th Street as well as those areas south of 63rd Street where needed.
Parks and Open Space
There are plans to develop park space within the Project Area at the intersection of 57th Place and State Street. This new park space will be constructed around the Chicago Landmark Raber House which is located at 5760 S. Lafayette Avenue.
Public Improvements
The creation of public infrastructure is needed to complement and attract private sector investment. Infrastructure improvements planned for the Project Area may include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Repair existing sidewalks, street furniture, street lighting, highlighting of pedestrian crosswalks, and other pedestrian-friendly amenities;
  • Repair curbs, gutters and pedestrian walkways within Washington Park.
  • Creation of additional neighborhood park space at the intersection of 57th Place and State Street.
  • Implementation of streetscape and building design guidelines that meet modern development needs and standards.
  • New street lighting and streetscape improvements along State Street, Michigan Avenue, Indiana Avenue, and King Drive in the Project Area, as well as installation of similar lighting where deemed necessary for health and safety.
  • Physical buffers or barriers between light industrial, intensive commercial uses and residential areas (such as fences, trees, bushes or other vegetation), to the extent possible;
  • Installation of additional traffic signals, signage, and traffic calming mechanisms where necessary;

SECTION 7. GENERAL LAND USE PLAN
 
Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit I - Generalized Land Use Plan, identifies land use policies to be pursued in the implementation of the Plan. The Generalized Land Use Plan is intended to serve as a guide for land use improvements and developments within the Project Area.
The land uses proposed for the Project Area are consistent with the redevelopment goals of this Plan and are consistent with existing zoning. The Generalized Land Use Plan is intended to serve as a broad guide for land use and redevelopment policy. The Plan is general in nature to allow adequate flexibility to respond to shifts in the market and private investment.
 
The principal land use categories planned for the Project Area are residential and Mixed Use (Commercial, Residential, and/or Institutional). Residential uses may take the form of various single-family and multi-family developments, with density and height restrictions consistent with existing zoning. Open space and neighborhood-oriented community facilities and institutional uses are also acceptable in these residential areas.
 
Mixed use designation is intended in the eastern corridors of the Project Area - along State Street, Michigan Avenue, Calumet Avenue, and King Drive. The mixed use category allows for commercial, residential and/or institutional uses. The Plan seeks to enhance and promote existing and new commercial/residential development in the eastern section of the Project Area in addition to major north/south arterial streets. These corridors offer the best environment for creating a pedestrian-friendly zone with a broad mix of retail merchants such as restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, specialty food stores and book stores.
New commercial and light industrial uses are particularly encouraged for properties fronting on Wentworth Avenue and LaSalle Street, as these streets offer the best environment for creating new commercial uses in this area as well as maintaining and providing expansion opportunities for existing light industrial uses already located near the "L" tracks and in those areas south of 63rd Street.
Additional park space is planned within the Project Area at the intersection of 57th Place and State Street.
These land use strategies are intended to direct development toward the most appropriate land use pattern for the various portions of the Project Area and enhance the overall development of the Project Area in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Plan. Locations of specific uses, or public infrastructure improvements, may vary from the Generalized Land Use Plan as a result of more detailed planning and site design activities. Such variations are permitted without amendment to the Plan as long as they are consistent with the Plan's goals and objectives and the land uses and zoning approved by the Chicago Plan Commission.

SECTION 8. REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FINANCING
 
Tax increment financing is an economic development tool designed to facilitate the development of blighted areas and to arrest decline in areas that may become blighted without public intervention. It is expected that tax increment financing will be an important tool, but not the only one, of financing improvements and providing development incentives in the Project Area throughout its 23-year life.
Tax increment financing can only be used when private investment would not reasonably be expected to occur without public assistance. The Act sets forth the range of public assistance that may be provided.
 
It is anticipated that expenditures for redevelopment project costs will be carefully staged in a reasonable and proportional basis to coincide with expenditures for redevelopment by private developers and the projected availability of tax increment revenues.
 
The various redevelopment expenditures that are eligible for payment or reimbursement under the Act are reviewed below. Following this review is a list of estimated redevelopment project costs that are deemed to be necessary to implement this Plan (the "Redevelopment Project Costs").
In the event the Act is amended after the date ofthe approval of this Plan by the City Council of the City 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 Plan shall be deemed to incorporate such additional, expanded or increased eligible costs as Redevelopment Project Costs under the 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 8.1 - Estimated Redevelopment Project Costs or otherwise adjust the line items in Table 8.1 without amendment to this Plan, to the extent permitted by the Act. In no instance, however, shall such additions or adjustments result in any increase in the total Redevelopment Project Costs without a further amendment to this Plan.
 
Eligible Redevelopment Project Costs
Redevelopment project costs include the sum total of all reasonable or necessary costs incurred, estimated to be incurred, or incidental to this Plan pursuant the Act. Such costs may include, without limitation, the following:
  1. Costs of studies and surveys, development of plans and specifications, implementation and administration ofthe Plan including, but not limited to, staff and professional service costs for architectural, engineering, legal, financial, planning or other services (excluding lobbying expenses), provided that no charges for professional services are based on a percentage ofthe tax increment collected;
  2. The cost of marketing sites within the Project Area to prospective businesses, developers and investors;

determined from time to time by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
  1. A public library district's increased costs attributable to assisted housing units will be reimbursed as set forth in the Act.
  2. If a special service area has been established pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Act, 35 ILCS 235/0.01 ef seq., then any tax increment revenues derived from the tax imposed pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Act may be used within the Project Area for the purposes permitted by the Special Service Area Tax Act as well as the purposes permitted by the Act.
 
Estimated Project Costs
A range of activities and improvements may be required to implement the Plan. The proposed eligible activities and their estimated costs over the life of the Project Area are briefly described below and shown in Table 8.1 -- Estimated Redevelopment Project Costs.
  1. Professional services including planning studies, legal, surveys, real estate marketing costs, fees and other costs related to the implementation and administration ofthe Plan. This budget element provides for studies and survey costs for planning and implementation of the project, including planning and legal fees, architectural and engineering, development site marketing, and financial and special service costs. (Estimated cost: $750,000)
  2. Property assembly costs, including, but not limited to, acquisition of land and other property, real or personal, or rights or interests therein, and other appropriate and eligible costs needed to prepare the property for redevelopment. These costs may include the reimbursement of acquisition costs incurred by the City and private developers. Land acquisition may include acquisition of both improved and vacant property in order to create development sites, accommodate public rights-of-way or to provide other public facilities needed to achieve the goals and objectives of the Plan. Property assembly costs also include: demolition of existing improvements, including clearance of blighted properties or clearance required to prepare sites for new development, site preparation, including grading, and other appropriate and eligible site activities needed to facilitate new construction, and environmental remediation costs associated with property assembly which are required to render the property suitable for redevelopment. (Estimated cost: $3,000,000)
  3. Costs of Rehabilitation, reconstruction, repair or remodeling of existing public or private buildings and fixtures; and up to 50% of the cost of construction of low-income and very low-income housing units. (Estimated cost: $12,750,000)
  4. Costs of Construction of public improvements, infrastructure and facilities. These improvements are intended to improve access within the Project Area, stimulate private investment and address other identified public improvement needs, and may include all or a portion of a taxing district's eligible costs, including increased costs of the Board of Education attributable to assisted housing units within the Project Area in accordance with the requirements of the Act. (Estimated cost: $4,500,000)

  1. Relocation costs. (Estimated cost: $1,000,000)
  2. Job Training, Re-training, and Welfare-to-Work Programs. (Estimated cost: $2,000,000)
  3. Interest costs related to redevelopment projects, pursuant to the provisions of the Act. (Estimated cost: $500,000)
8.      Provision of day care services as provided in the Act. (Estimated cost: $500,000)
The estimated total of all eligible project costs over the life of the Redevelopment Project Area is approximately $25,000,000. All project cost estimates are in 2014 dollars. Any bonds or other tax increment allocation revenue obligations issued to finance portions of the Redevelopment Project may include an amount of proceeds sufficient to pay customary and reasonable charges associated with issuance of such obligations, as well as to provide for capitalized interest and reasonably required reserves. The total project cost figure excludes any costs for the issuance of bonds. Adjustments to estimated line items, which are upper estimates for these costs, are expected and may be made without amendment to the Plan.
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. While development in within the Project Area will greatly influence the budget available, the Consultants are unaware of any pending projects at this time.

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 Project 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 or the objectives of the Plan.
3      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 costs are subject to prevailing market conditions and are in addition to Total Redevelopment Project Costs. Within this limit, adjustments are may be made in line items without amendment to this Plan, to the extent permitted by the Act.
4      The amount of the Total Redevelopment Project 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 the 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.
5      All costs are in 2014 dollars and may be increased by five percent (5%) after adjusting for inflation reflected in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for All Items for the Chicago-Gary-Kenosha, IL-IN-WI, CMSA, published by the U.S. Department of Labor.
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 Cost identified above.

Sources of Funds
 
The 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 as 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 for 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 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 ef 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 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 described in the preceding paragraph, shall not at any time exceed the total redevelopment project costs described in Table 8.1 - Estimated Redevelopment Project Costs.
 
Development of the Project Area would not be reasonably expected to occur without the use of the incremental revenues provided by the Act. Redevelopment project costs include those eligible project costs set forth in the Act. Tax increment financing or other public sources will be used only to the extent needed to secure commitments for private redevelopment activity.

Nature and Term of Obligations to be Issued
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 obligation 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 twenty-third calendar year following the year in which the ordinance approving the Project Area is adopted (i.e., assuming City Council approval ofthe Project Area and Plan in 2014, by December 31, 2038). 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 (1) or more series of obligations may be sold at one (1) or more times in order to implement this 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.
 
Most Recent Equalized Assessed Valuation
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 2012 EAV of all taxable parcels within the Project Area is approximately $76,534,773. This total EAV amount, by Property Index Number ("PIN"), is summarized in the Plan Appendix, Attachment Four - Estimated EAV by Tax Parcel. The EAV is subject to verification by the Cook County Clerk. After verification, the final figure shall be certified by the Cook County Clerk, and shall become the Certified Initial EAV from which all Incremental Property Taxes in the Project Area will be calculated by Cook County. The Plan has utilized the EAVs for the 2012 tax year. If the 2013 EAV shall become available prior to the date of the adoption of the Plan by the City Council, the City may update the Plan by replacing the 2012 EAV with the 2013 EAV.
 
Anticipated Equalized Assessed Valuation
By tax year 2037 (collection year 2038) and following substantial completion of the Washington Park Redevelopment Plan, the EAV of the Project Area is estimated to be approximately $105 million. This estimated value is based on several key assumptions, including: 1) redevelopment in the project area will occur over the next five (5) to ten years; 2) several existing low value uses will be redeveloped with new development and underutilized buildings will experience renovation and/or increased occupancy; 3) an estimated inflation rate in EAV of 0.71 percent through 2037 (somewhat less than the historic CPI-U), realized in triennial assessment years

only; and 4) for all future years, EAV is calculated using the 2013 state equalization factor for Cook County of 2.6621.
 
Financial Impact on Taxing Districts
The Act requires an assessment of any financial impact of the Project Area on, or any increased demand for services from, any taxing district affected by the Plan and a description of any program to address such financial impacts or increased demand. The City intends to monitor development in the Project Area and with the cooperation of the other affected taxing districts will attempt to ensure that any increased needs are addressed in connection with any particular development.
The following taxing districts will be eligible to levy taxes on properties located within the Project Area:
City of Chicago: The City is responsible for the provision of a wide range of municipal services, including police and fire protection; capital improvements and maintenance; water supply and distribution; sanitation service; building, housing and zoning codes, etc.
Chicago Park District: The Park District is responsible for the provision, maintenance and operation of park and recreational facilities throughout the City and for the provision of recreation programs.
 
School Districts for the City of Chicago: General responsibilities of the School Districts include the provision, maintenance and operations of educational facilities and the provision of educational services for kindergarten through twelfth grade.
 
Cook County: The County has principal responsibility for the protection of persons and property, the provision of public health services and the maintenance of County highways.
 
Cook County Forest Preserve District: The Forest Preserve District is responsible for acquisition, restoration and management of lands for the purpose of protecting and preserving open space in the City and County for the education, pleasure and recreation of the public.
 
Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago: The Water Reclamation District provides the main trunk lines for the collection of wastewater from the City and for the treatment and disposal thereof.
 
The proposed revitalization of the Project Area would be expected to create moderate demands on public services. The renovation or development of new residential property on underutilized parcels, deteriorated commercial parcels, or currently vacant residential units could increase the demand for school services as well as parks and other population-based services.
Within the land use designations on the General Land Use Plan (Plan Appendix, Attachment Two - Exhibit I) that allow for mixed use which includes residential uses, approximately 500 new dwelling units could be constructed over the next 5 to 10 years. The total population of the Project Area could increase from the current number of residents. The number of school age children in the Project Area is also likely to increase as a result of residential redevelopment. At

Washington Park TIF Redevelopment Plan and Project
 
 
 
this time, as there are schools within the surrounding areas which may or may not be currently running at capacity, TIF sources may possibly be used to accommodate increased enrollment in existing schools or to build new schools should the need arise.
 
The proposed residential and commercial redevelopment may increase the demand for improved water and sewer services and similar types of infrastructure, including the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. As discussed below, the Project Budget's $11 million for "Public Works and Improvements" is intended, in part, to address such improved service and infrastructure needs.
Redevelopment of the Project Area may result in changes to the level of required public services. The required level of these public services will depend upon the uses that are ultimately included within the Project Area. Although the specific nature and timing ofthe private investment expected to be attracted to the Project Area cannot be precisely quantified at this time, a general assessment of financial impact can be made based upon the level of development and timing anticipated by the proposed Plan.
 
When completed, developments in the Project Area will generate property tax revenues for all taxing districts. Other revenues may also accrue to the City in the form of sales tax, business fees and licenses, and utility user fees. The costs of some services such as water and sewer service, building inspections, etc. are typically covered by user charges. However, others are not and should be subtracted from the estimate of property tax revenues to assess the net financial impact of the Plan on the affected taxing districts.
For the taxing districts levying taxes on property within the Project Area, increased service demands are expected to occur. Prior to the completion ofthe Plan, certain taxing districts may experience an increased demand for services. However, upon completion of the Plan, all taxing districts are expected to share the benefits of a substantially improved tax base.
 
In anticipation of the increased demand, $11 million has been allocated to public improvements, including "taxing district capital costs" to address potential demands associated with implementing the Plan.
 
Real estate tax revenues resulting from increases in the EAV, over and above the Certified Initial EAV established with the adoption of the Plan, will be used to pay eligible redevelopment costs in the Project Area. Following termination ofthe Project Area, the real estate tax revenues attributable to the increase in the EAV over the Certified Initial EAV, will be distributed to all taxing districts levying taxes against property located in the Project Area. Successful implementation of the Plan is expected to result in new development and private investment on a scale sufficient to overcome blighted conditions and substantially improve the long-term economic value of the Project Area.
 
Completion of the Redevelopment Project and Retirement of Obligations to Finance Redevelopment Project Costs
The Plan will be completed, and all obligations issued to finance redevelopment costs shall be retired, no later than December 31st 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 twenty-third

SECTION 9. HOUSING IMPACT STUDY
 
As set forth in the Act, if the redevelopment plan for a redevelopment project area would result in the displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited residential units, or if the redevelopment project area contains 75 or more inhabited residential units and a municipality is unable to certify that no displacement will occur, the municipality must prepare a housing impact study and incorporate the study in the Redevelopment Project Plan.
 
The Project Area contains 4,375 inhabited residential units. The Plan provides for the development or redevelopment of several portions of the Project Area that may contain occupied residential units. As a result, it is possible that by implementation of this Plan, the displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited residential units could occur.
 
The results of the housing impact study are described in a separate report which presents certain factual information required by the Act. The Report, prepared by the Consultant, is entitled Redevelopment Project Area Tax Increment Financing Program Housing Impact Study and is attached as Plan Appendix, Attachment Five to this Plan.

The City shall have the right in its sole discretion to exempt certain small business, residential property owners and developers from the above.

I. Introduction
 
Ernest R. Sawyer Enterprises ("ERSE") in conjunction with PGAV PLANNERS (the "Consultant") has been retained by the City of Chicago (the "City") to prepare a Tax Increment Redevelopment Plan (the "Redevelopment Plan") for the proposed redevelopment project area known as the Washington Park Redevelopment Project Area (the "Project Area"). Prior to preparation of the Redevelopment Plan, the Consultant undertook various surveys and investigations of the Project Area to determine whether the Project Area qualifies for designation as a tax increment financing district, pursuant to the Illinois Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-1 et seq as amended ("the Act").
 
This report includes the analyses and findings of the Consultant's work, which is the responsibility of the Consultant. This assignment is the responsibility of the Consultant which has prepared this Eligibility Study with the understanding that the City would rely: 1) on the findings and conclusions of this Eligibility Study in proceeding with the designation ofthe Project Area as a redevelopment project area under the Act, and 2) on the fact that ERSE has obtained the necessary information to conclude that the Project Area can be designated as a redevelopment project area in compliance with the Act.
Following this introduction, Section II presents background information of the Project Area including the geographic location, description of current conditions and area data; Section III documents the building condition assessment and qualifications of the Project Area as a combination conservation area and vacant blighted area under the Act; and Section IV, Summary and Conclusions, documents the findings ofthe Eligibility Study.
This Eligibility Study is a part ofthe overall tax increment redevelopment plan (the "Plan") for the Project Area. Other portions of the Plan contain information and documentation as required by the Act for a redevelopment plan.

II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION A.    Location and Size of Project Area
The Washington Park Redevelopment Project Area is located about seven (7) miles south of Downtown Chicago. The Project Area can be separated into three sections: 1. Washington Park (the "Park") is bounded by 51st and 60th Streets on the north and south, and Cottage Grove Avenue and Martin Luther King Drive on the east and west; 2. the neighborhood section which is generally bounded by Martin Luther King Drive and Washington Park on the east, the Dan Ryan Expressway on the west, Garfield Boulevard on the north and 63rd Street on the south; and 3. the industrial area south of 63rd Street to the Chicago Skyway, west of Prairie Avenue. The neighborhood section is roughly one (1) mile north to south and 0.8 miles east to west, centered on 59th Street and Michigan Avenue. The Park is roughly 1.2 miles north to south and 0.5 miles east to west, centered just north of the intersection of Morgan Drive and Rainey Drive. The industrial section is roughly two-thirds of a mile north to south and a third of a mile east to west, with a significant section of this area used as railway siding.
 
The Project Area contains approximately 988.4 acres in 2,272 parcels. The Project Area includes 241.8 acres for public rights-of-way for streets, alleyways, rail lines, and highways, leaving approximately 746.6 acres of usable land (either presently developed or vacant).
The boundaries of the Project Area are described in the Plan Appendix, Attachment One -Legal Description and are geographically shown on Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit A - Boundary Map of TIF Area. The existing land uses are identified on Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit C - Existing Land Use Map.
 
B.    Description of Current Conditions Surrounding Area Characteristics
The Project Area sits within the greater Washington Park community, located approximately seven (7) miles south of the Chicago Loop. The Project Area includes eight (8) 2010 U.S. Census Tracts: 4003, 4004, 4005, 4008, 8345, 8346, 8361, and 8425; of which, only tract 4004 has shown population growth from 2000 to 2010. The 352-acre Washington Park and Walter H. Dyett High School site separates the Project Area from the more affluent eastern neighborhood of Hyde Park.
Transportation was the catalyst for much of the growth experienced by the south side neighborhoods; particularly in the Washington Park community during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. By 1887 cable cars reached as far south as 63rd Street on State Street and 67th on Cottage Grove Avenue. The "L" train system reached farther south than the Washington Park community by 1907. Cable cars, trains, and the wide boulevards provided easy access to Chicago's Loop for south side residents. Today, public transportation and highway access are still widely available to residents and visitors of Washington Park.
The Project Area is bordered by higher density residential uses. On the eastern boundary ofthe Washington Park Community Area is Hyde Park, an affluent south side neighborhood that is home to the University of Chicago. Students and faculty have resided in Hyde Park for decades. As the demand for housing grows around the growing university students, visitors and

university faculty may choose to move to surrounding neighborhoods such as Washington Park. To the west of the Project Area is the Englewood Community Area, which, until recently, was best known for the Englewood Mall. The Mall has recently been replaced by the Kennedy King College and the neighborhood has experienced a much needed surge in housing demand and property values.
 
At intersections within and surrounding the Project Area, there are small commercial nodes. There are also some isolated industrial uses interspersed within the residential/commercial areas. Industrial corridors within the Project Area are located near Interstate Highway 90/94 (Dan Ryan Expressway) and south of 63rd Street. Residential neighborhoods are also located on the western side of the Dan Ryan Expressway and to the north of the Project Area.
 
Existing Land Use
A tabulation of land area by land use category is provided below in Table 2-1 - Tabulation of Existing Land Use. Since almost 50% of the land area being encompassed by Washington Park and Walter H. Dyett High School, an additional table on the following page, Table 2-2 -Tabulation of Existing Land Use Excluding Washington Park, provides a tabulation of land use excluding Washington Park/Dyett High School. Table 2-2 illustrates a more accurate breakdown of existing developed land uses in the Project Area because the percent to total land uses is not skewed by the open land in Washington Park; although the industrial area to the south of 63rd street is included. The existing land uses are shown graphically on Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit C - Existing Land Use. Land use data for the Project Area was compiled as part ofthe TIF eligibility and redevelopment planning fieldwork conducted in spring and fall of 2013 and early 2014.

In classifying land use for this TIF eligibility report, it is important to clarify the use of the term "vacant land". The Act establishes one (1) set of eligibility criteria for designation of improved land and a separate set of criteria for designation of vacant land. The full definition of "vacant land" and the full set of criteria are provided in Section III of this study. In short, under the Act all parcels without buildings are considered "vacant".
Classification of vacant land is especially relevant given the high proportion of the Project Area that is currently vacant. In terms of net land area (total land area less public right-of-way and parcels used as street or rail right-of-way), approximately 16% of the Project Area is vacant land as shown in Table 2-1 - Tabulation of Existing Land Use. If Washington Park/Dyett High School is omitted from tabulations, as shown below in Table 2-2 - Tabulation of Existing Land Use Excluding Washington Park, vacant land accounts for about 31% of the net land area, or 952 individual parcels; 42% of the total parcels. The next largest land use categories (still excluding Washington Park) are industrial uses (about 26% of net land area), followed by multi-family residential (about 21% of net land area).

Almost a third ofthe land in the Project Area, not including Washington Park/Dyett High School, is vacant land and is evidence of the extent of disinvestment. A case could also be made for excluding the industrial area south of 63rd Street from these vacant land calculations, which would only increase the percentage of vacant land in the Project Area. Additionally, over the course of the last few decades, residential buildings have been demolished as the buildings deteriorated and were vacated. These parcels were "blighted before vacant". The City has developed the Red X program to identify properties with structural or interior hazards with a red "X" sign. These hazards can include, but are not limited to, building deterioration or damage

from previous fires, structural hazards when components of the building have been removed, and collapse hazards due to the integrity of chimney tops, parapet walls, roof systems and or stair systems being compromised. The red "X" serves as an indicator to first responders to the existence of the hazards. Further, the presence of the red "X" makes it unlawful for any person to enter the building without first notifying the fire commissioner. The vacant land that remains speaks to the poor building conditions before the demolition, the challenges of the Area, and also presents a resource and opportunity for in-fill development and revitalization. Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit E - Vacant Land Map highlights the location of the vacant parcels in the Project Area and distinguishes between public and privately owned land. Of the 952 vacant parcels, 498 (52%) are owned by the City, 53 (6%) are owned by another tax-exempt entity, and the remaining 401 (42%) are privately owned. There are 2,785 unique parcel identification numbers (PINS) represented in the 2,272 total parcels. Of these PINS, 22 are railroad property and 907 are owned by other entities exempted from property tax. These 929 PINS indicate that a full third (33%) of the PINS in the Project Area are not in use by a property tax revenue generating entity.
As shown on Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit C - Existing Land Use Map, the
majority of the Project Area is residential in nature, with commercial uses situated near intersections and a number of smaller industrial uses scattered in the southern and western portions of the Project Area; and then industrial uses south of 63rd Street. Some of these industrial uses are directly adjacent to land used for, or zoned as, residential, which may present an obstacle to in-fill development. The residential density is generally greater in the central and eastern portions of the Project Area. Moving east toward the Park, there are fewer single-family homes and more multi-family buildings.
 
A total of 1,090 structures are located on the approximately 277 acres of improved land in the Project Area. Of these structures, 174 are accessory buildings, such as garages, outbuildings or other secondary structures. The improved portions of the Project Area comprise about 70% of land area, not including Washington Park and other parkland. According to field observation, 92% of buildings were judged to be more than 35 years old, which means the improved portions of the Project Area may qualify as a "conservation area" if a combination of three (3) or more conservation factors are found to be present such that the presence of those factors is detrimental to the public safety, health, morals or welfare and the area may become "blighted". These factors are defined in detail in Section III. Qualification of the Project Area.
 
A high proportion of buildings in the Project Area have deteriorated primary or secondary building components. Further, deteriorated conditions in the public right-of-way, including streets, sidewalk, curb and gutter, have been documented. The extent of deterioration on improved parcels is documented in detail in Section III of this report.
Within the Project Area, there are varying types of residential uses. The types of residential uses were identified during the building condition and land use survey conducted as part of this eligibility analysis for the Project Area. This survey, completed in 2013 and 2014, revealed that the Project Area contains about 4,375 housing units. Of those housing units, 3.7% are single unit dwellings, 7.0% are two-unit buildings, 32.8% are in 3-unit or 4-unit buildings, and 37.1% are multi-family dwellings in buildings of 5 units or more. Approximately 86% of all occupied units are rental units. Because there are likely to be residents displaced from more than 10 inhabited residential units within the boundaries of the Project Area, the municipality is required to perform a Housing Impact Study as part of the feasibility report (see Subsection 11.74.4-3(n)(5) ofthe Act).

The Project Area has a relative lack of quality retail/commercial uses. While commercial buildings account for 3.6% of the total land (excluding rights-of-way and the Park), the majority of commercial and retail uses that used to thrive on neighborhood street corners are now boarded-up and vacant or underutilized. Many storefronts have deteriorated over time because of long-term disinvestment in the Project Area. The deterioration that has occurred as a result has led to total vacancy of many parcels in the Project Area.
 
Development Activity and Assessed Value Trends
Historic Equalized Assessed Values (EAV's) for the Project Area, the rate of EAV growth for the City, and the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in the Chicago-Gary-Kenosha MSA for the period between 2008 and 2013 are considered to identify development activity and determine assessed value trends. Table 2-3 - Equalized Assessed Value Trends, shown below, illustrates the comparison of the Project Area's EAV growth to both the City EAV and the CPI-U.

There are 2,785 PINS represented in the 2,272 total parcels. As noted, 929 (33%) of these PINS are owned by an entity exempted from property tax. In 2012 a total of 424 PINS (15%), represented by 211 parcels were delinquent in the payment of property taxes; 200 of these parcels were also vacant.
 
Prior Redevelopment Efforts
Four (4) existing TIF redevelopment project areas are adjacent to the Project Area. The Englewood Neighborhood TIF (T-106) borders the Project Area to the south-west, the 67th/Wentworth TIF (T-174) extends into the Project Area to the south, the West Woodlawn TIF (T-171) was established on the south-eastern boundary, and the 47th/State TIF (T-136) borders along the north and western boundary of Washington Park. The boundaries of the adjacent TIF redevelopment project areas are identified in the Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit G - Adjacent TIF/Redevelopment Areas Map.
The South Side Empowerment Zone covers a portion of the Project Area from the northern boundary to the southern boundary and from the eastern boundary west to State Street. The Englewood Enterprise Zone (#6) covers most of the Project Area. The Enterprise Zone omits only a section of the Project Area between 60th and 62nd Streets, east of State Street.

QUALIFICATION OF THE PROJECT AREA
 
 
A.      Illinois Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act
 
The Act authorizes Illinois municipalities to redevelop locally designated deteriorated areas through tax increment financing. In order for an area to qualify as a tax increment financing district, it must first be designated as a blighted area, a conservation area (or a combination of the two), or an industrial park conservation area as defined at 5/11-74.4-3(a) of the Act. Based on the criteria set forth in the Act, the improved portion of the Area was determined to qualify as a conservation area, and the vacant portion of the Area was determined to qualify as a blighted area.
 
As set forth in the Act a conservation area is:
 
"conservation area means any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment project area located within the territorial limits of the municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not yet a blighted area but because of a combination of three (3) or more of the following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health, morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
  1. Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural components of buildings or improvements in such a combination that a documented building condition analysis determines that major repair is required or the defects are so serious and so extensive that the buildings must be removed.
  2. Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited for the original use.
  3. Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects including, but not limited to, major defects in the secondary building components such as doors, windows, porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia. With respect to surface improvements, that the condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking, and surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including, but not limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes, depressions, loose paving material, and weeds protruding through paved surfaces.
  4. Presence of structures below minimum code standards. All structures that do not meet the standards of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and other governmental codes applicable to property, but not including housing and property maintenance codes.
  5. Illegal use of individual structures. The use of structures in violation of applicable federal, State, or local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the presence of structures below minimum code standards.
  6. Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings that are unoccupied or underutilized and that represent an adverse influence on the area because of the frequency, extent, or duration of the vacancies.

  1. Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate natural light and ventilation means the absence or inadequacy of skylights or windows for interior spaces or rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by room area to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities refers to the absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure, bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and structural inadequacies preventing ingress and egress to and from all rooms and units within a building.
(8)      Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage, sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and electrical services that are shown to be inadequate. Inadequate utilities are those that are:
    1. of insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the redevelopment project area,
    2. deteriorated, antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or
    3. lacking within the redevelopment project area.
    4. Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of structures and community facilities. The over-intensive use of property and the crowding of buildings and accessory facilities onto a site. Examples of problem conditions warranting the designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive land coverage are: the presence of buildings either improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day standards of development for health and safety and the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel. For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage, these parcels must exhibit one (1) or more of the following conditions: insufficient provision for light and air within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, lack of reasonably required off-street parking, or inadequate provision for loading and service.
  1. Deleterious land use or layout. The existence of incompatible land-use relationships, buildings occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for the surrounding area.
    1. Lack of community planning. The proposed redevelopment project area was developed prior to or without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This means that the development occurred prior to the adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the area's development. This factor must be documented by evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use relationships, inadequate street layout, improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet contemporary development standards, or other evidence demonstrating an absence of effective community planning.

As set forth in the Act, a blighted area is:
"any improved or vacant area within the boundaries of a redevelopment project area located within the territorial limits of the municipality where:
 
(2) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment project area is impaired by a combination of two (2) or more of the following factors, each of which is (i) present, with that presence documented, to a meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably find that the factor is clearly present within the intent of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the vacant part of the redevelopment project area to which it pertains:
  1. Obsolete platting of vacant land that results in parcels of limited or narrow size or configurations of parcels of irregular size or shape that would be difficult to develop on a planned basis and in a manner compatible with contemporary standards and requirements, or platting that failed to create rights-of-way for streets or alleys or that crated inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys,, or other public rights-of-way or that omitted easement for public utilities.
  2. Diversity of ownership of parcels of vacant land sufficient in number to retard or impede the ability to assemble the land for development.

    2. The area consist of an unused or illegal disposal site containing earth, stone, building debris, or similar materials that were removed from construction, demolition, excavation, or dredge sites.
    3. Prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, the area is not less than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75% of which is vacant (notwithstanding that the area has been used for commercial agricultural purposes within five (5) years prior to the designation of the redevelopment project area), and the area meets at least one (1) of the factors itemized in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the area has been designated as a town or village center by ordinance or comprehensive plan adopted prior to January 1, 1982,, and the area has not been developed for that designated purpose.
    4. The area qualified as a blighted improved area immediately prior to becoming vacant, unless there has been substantial private investment in the immediately surrounding area."
 
B.      Survey, Analysis and Distribution of Eligibility Factors
A parcel-by-parcel analysis of the Project Area was conducted to identify the presence of TIF eligibility factors. The condition of each parcel and structure in the Project Area was documented using a tablet computer with GIS software. Field survey data was compiled and analyzed to investigate the presence and distribution of each ofthe TIF eligibility factors.

Eligibility factor data was collected for individual parcels and is aggregated into 21 sub-areas (each approximately four blocks) for analysis and presentation in two tables: Table 3-1 -Conservation Factors Matrix for Improved Land, and Table 3-2 - Blighting Factors Matrix for Vacant Land. The conditions recorded in Table 3-1 and Table 3-2 are depicted graphically in the Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit D - Existing Conditions Map (due to map scaling, the Existing Conditions Map displays the Project Area divided into six sections and labeled as Exhibit D1 through D6).
The improved portion of the Project Area contains 1,090 structures and constitutes approximately 70% of the land area not including Washington Park. The Project Area is characterized by the following conditions:
  • the predominance of buildings that are 35 years of age or older (92% of buildings)1;
  • deteriorated buildings (63% of buildings);
  • deteriorated site improvements (29% of parcels);
  • deteriorated street and/or sidewalk pavement (86% of sub-areas);
  • dilapidated buildings (4% of buildings);
  • obsolete buildings (10% of buildings);
primary buildings with excessive vacancies (20%);
  • excessive land coverage (30% of improved parcels); inadequate utilities (76% of sub-areas);
  • deleterious land use or layout (48% of sub-areas);
  • lack of community planning (62% of sub-areas); and,
  • demonstrates declining and subpar EAV growth.
 
The vacant portion of the Project Area constitutes approximately 120.6 acres (30% of net land area, not including Washington Park), represented on 952 parcels and by 21 sub-areas for this Eligibility Study. The vacant portion of the Project Area is characterized by the following statutory qualifying factors for a "blighted area" under Section 5/11-74.4-3(b) of the Act:
  • obsolete platting (37% of parcels);
  • diversity of ownership (43% of sub-areas);
  • tax delinquencies (21 % of vacant parcels; 50% of taxable vacant parcels);
  • deterioration of structures or site improvements in neighboring areas (94% of vacant parcels); and,
  • demonstrates declining or subpar EAV growth.
 
 
C.    Evaluation Procedure
The Consultant conducted exterior surveys of observable conditions on all properties, buildings, and public and private improvements located in the Project Area. These inspectors have been trained in TIF survey techniques and have extensive experience in similar undertakings.
 
The surveys examined not only the condition and use of buildings, but also included surveys of streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, lighting, vacant land, underutilized land, parking facilities, landscaping, fences and walls, and general maintenance.   In addition, an analysis was
 
1 This is 42% greater than the statutory requirement. Under the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, for designation of an area as a Conservation Area, 50% or more of the buildings must be 35 years of age or older.

conducted on existing site coverage, parking and land uses, and their relationship to the surrounding area. Investigators also researched historic photos and were assisted by information obtained from the City. The boundary and qualification of the Project Area was determined by the field investigations, eligibility requirements described in the Act, and the needs and deficiencies of the Project Area.
 
 
D.    Investigation and Analysis of Factors
In determining whether or not the Project Area meets the eligibility requirements of the Act, various methods of research were used in addition to the field surveys. The data includes information assembled from the sources below:
  1. Contacts with local individuals knowledgeable as to the Project Area conditions and history, age of buildings and site improvements, methods of construction, real estate records and related items, and other information related to the Project Area was used. In addition, aerial photographs, Sidwell block sheets, City utility atlases, electronic permitting data, etc. were also utilized.
  2. Inspection and research as to the condition of local buildings, streets, utilities, etc.
  3. On-site field inspection of the Project Area conditions by experienced property inspectors of the Consultant and others as previously noted. Personnel of the Consultant are trained in techniques and procedures of determining conditions of properties, utilities, streets, etc. and determination of eligibility of areas for tax increment financing.
  4. Use of accepted definitions as provided for in the Act.
  5. Adherence to basic findings of need as established by the Illinois General Assembly in establishing tax increment financing which became effective on January 10, 1977. These are:
    1. There exists in many Illinois municipalities, areas that are conservation or blighted areas, within the meaning ofthe TIF statute.
    2. The eradication of blighted areas and the treatment of conservation areas by redevelopment projects are essential to the public interest.
  1. These findings are made on the basis that the presence of blight
or conditions which lead to blight, is detrimental to the safety, health, welfare and morals ofthe public.
Table 3-1 - Conservation Factors Matrix for Improved Land, provided on the following page documents the conditions in the Project Area.

E.      Eligibility Factors - Improved Area
In making the determination of eligibility, each and every property or building in the Project Area is not required to be blighted or otherwise qualify. It is the Project Area as a whole that must be determined to be eligible.
The report stated below details conditions that cause the Project Area to qualify under the Act as a conservation area, per surveys and research undertaken by the Consultant in 2013 and 2014:
 
Age of Structures
Age, although not one ofthe 13 factors used to establish a conservation area under the Act, is used as a threshold that an area must meet in order to qualify.
Age presumes the existence of problems or limiting conditions resulting from normal and continuous use of structures and exposure to the elements over a period of many years. As a rule, older buildings typically exhibit more problems than buildings constructed in later years because of longer periods of active usage ("wear and tear") and the impact of time, temperature and moisture. Additionally, older buildings tend not to be ideally suited for meeting modern-day space and development standards. These typical problematic conditions in older buildings can be the initial indicators that the factors used to qualify may be present.
Summary of Findings Regarding Age:
There are 1,090 buildings in the Project Area (including accessory structures such as garages and secondary buildings). Of these buildings, 1006 (92%) are 35 years of age or older as determined by field surveys and local research. In many instances buildings are significantly older than 35 year of age; the vast majority of buildings were constructed prior to World War II. The Project Area meets the threshold requirement for a conservation area in that more than 50% ofthe structures exceed 35 years of age.
 
1. Dilapidation
Dilapidation as a factor is based upon the documented presence and reasonable distribution of buildings in an advanced state of disrepair. In order for a building to be classified as dilapidated, as the term is defined in the Act, major defects to the primary structural components of the building must be evident, or evident structural defects must be so extensive that the buildings must be removed. A small number of structures in the Project Area have critical defects in primary structural components, such as leaning or bowing load-bearing walls, severely sagging roofs, damaged floor structures, or foundations exhibiting major cracks or displacement.
Summary of Findings Regarding Dilapidation:
Of the 1,090 buildings in the Project Area, 43 buildings, (4%), were found to exhibit primary structural components in an advanced state of disrepair.

2. Obsolescence
An obsolete building or improvement is one which no longer serves its intended use. The Act defines obsolescence as "the condition or process of falling into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited for the original use." Obsolescence, as a factor, is based upon the documented presence and reasonable distribution of buildings and other site improvements evidencing such obsolescence. Examples include:
  1. Functional Obsolescence: Structures are typically built for specific uses or purposes, and their design, location, height and space arrangement are each intended for a specific occupancy at a given time. Buildings are obsolete when they contain characteristics or deficiencies that limit the use and marketability of such buildings. The characteristics may include loss in value to a property resulting from an inherent deficiency existing from poor design or layout, improper orientation of the building on site, etc., which detracts from the overall usefulness or desirability of a property. Obsolescence in such buildings is typically difficult and expensive to correct.
  2. Economic Obsolescence: Economic obsolescence is normally a result of adverse conditions that cause some degree of market rejection, and hence, depreciation in market values. Typically, buildings classified as dilapidated and buildings that contain vacant space are characterized by problem conditions, which may not be economically curable, resulting in net rental losses and/or depreciation in market value.
  3. Obsolete site improvements: Site improvements, including sewer and water lines, public utility lines (gas, electric and telephone), roadways, parking areas, parking structures, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, lighting, etc., may also evidence obsolescence in terms of their relationship to contemporary development standards for such improvements. Factors of this obsolescence may include inadequate utility capacities, outdated designs, etc.
Throughout the Project Area, there are buildings that have a size, layout, or construction type that are indicative of obsolescence. Vacant storefronts, vacant upper-stories, underutilized properties, undersized commercial buildings, lack of parking or loading space, deteriorated buildings, and inadequate site improvements are all found in the Project Area and are indicators of obsolescence. Some structures are clearly now used for purposes other than the building's designed and original use.
Summary of Findings Regarding Obsolescence:
The field survey of buildings in the Project Area found that certain buildings exhibit characteristics of obsolescence. Obsolete buildings comprised approximately 10% or 106 ofthe 1,090 buildings in the Project Area. These obsolete buildings include:
  • Long-term vacant commercial and industrial structures (e.g. 6115 S. Prairie Avenue, 5822 State Street, 6238 Wabash Avenue) that have been rejected by the local real-estate market could be indicative of functional or economic obsolescence.
  • Industrial buildings that have become ill-suited for their original use (e.g. 6155 S. Prairie Avenue). Industrial structures of this age are ill-suited for modern industrial

techniques due to factors such as inadequate floor area, excessive roof supports, inadequate utilities, poor energy efficiency, and constrictive vehicular access. These conditions could be indicative of functional or economic obsolescence as well as obsolete site improvements. • Residential buildings that house more dwelling units than originally intended (multiple examples on LaSalle Street, Perry Avenue, and Michigan Avenue). Single-family housing that has been converted to multi-family units or another use demonstrates functional obsolescence and the buildings are not being used as originally intended. Obsolete site improvements also exist in the Project Area and are generally associated with the commercial and industrial buildings.
  1. Deterioration
Deterioration refers to physical deficiencies or disrepair in buildings or site improvements requiring treatment or repair. Conditions that are not easily correctable in the course of normal maintenance were classified as deteriorated. Such buildings may be classified as deteriorating or in an advanced stage of deterioration, depending upon the degree or extent of the defects. Buildings with major defects in the secondary building components (e.g., damaged doors and door frames, broken windows, window frames and muntins, dented or damaged metal siding, gutters and downspouts damaged or missing, weathered fascia materials, cracks in masonry walls, spalling masonry surfaces, etc.) were observed in the Project Area. Many of the structures located in the Project Area exhibited these conditions. In addition, roadways, off-street parking and surface storage areas also evidenced deterioration such as cracking on paved surfaces, potholes, depressions, loose paving materials, weeds protruding through the surface, etc.
Summary of Findings Regarding Deterioration:
Throughout the Project Area, deteriorating conditions were recorded on 687 (63%) ofthe 1,090 buildings. The exterior field survey of primary buildings in the Project Area found major defects in secondary building components, including windows, doors, gutters, downspouts, siding, fascia materials, parapet walls, etc. 332 (29%) of the improved parcels in the Project Area demonstrated deteriorated site improvements. Deteriorated public improvements (street pavement, curb and gutter, and sidewalk) were observed on 18 (86%) ofthe 21 sub-areas in the Project Area.
  1. Presence of Structures Below Minimum Code Standards
Structures below minimum code standards include all structures that do not meet the standards of zoning, subdivision, State building laws and regulations. The principal purposes of such codes are to require buildings to be constructed in such a way as to sustain safety of loads expected from various types of occupancy, to be safe for occupancy against fire and similar hazards, and/or establish minimum standards essential for safe and sanitary habitation. Structures below minimum code are characterized by defects or deficiencies that presume to threaten health and safety.

Summary of Findings Regarding Presence of Structures Below Minimum Code Standards:
Considering the age of buildings in the Project Area, it is certain that many of the buildings are below the minimum code standards currently in force by the City of Chicago. However, in order to substantiate these conditions both interior and exterior inspections of the properties by qualified professionals would be required. Rather than attempt such an evaluation, the Consultant relied on City data on documented code violations.
 
The Department of Planning and Development provided electronic data on code violation records for the Project Area. These records included thousands of building or property maintenance code compliance issues documented through the Department of Buildings tracking system between 2004 and 2013. Code violations were recorded for 216 separate addresses for buildings in the Project Area (20% of all primary buildings).
Because the data are based on property address rather than PIN, code violation data is not presented at the sub-area level in Table 3-1 - Conservation Factors Matrix for Improved Land. It should also be recognized that the code violations documented through the City's record system are only a fraction of the code deficiencies in the Project Area. The predominance of structures in excess of 60 years of age indicates that most of the buildings in the Project Area likely have some characteristics that do not meet the City's current building or zoning requirements. However, due to this unsubstantiated data, this factor cannot be verified as present for this Eligibility Study.
  1. Illegal Use of Individual Structures
This factor applies to the use of structures in violation of applicable national, State or local laws. Examples of illegal uses may include, but not be limited to, the following:
  1. illegal home occupations;
  2. conduct of any illegal vice activities such as gambling or drug manufacture;
  3. uses not in conformance with local zoning codes and not previously grand fathered in as legal nonconforming uses;
  4. uses involving manufacture, sale, storage or use of dangerous explosives and firearms.
Summary of Findings Regarding Illegal Use of Individual Structures:
This factor was not documented in the Project Area.
  1. Excessive Vacancies
Establishing the presence of this factor requires documenting unoccupied or underutilized buildings that represent an adverse influence on the Project Area because of the frequency, extent, or duration of such vacancies. It includes properties which evidence no apparent effort directed toward occupancy or utilization and partial vacancies.

Summary of Findings Regarding Excessive Vacancies:
During the field investigation, and subsequent updates, of the Project Area a total of 185 primary buildings were observed to contain vacant floor space. Based on the condition of some of the vacant buildings (boarded-up windows, deteriorated interior finishes, lack of lighting, outdated signage, etc.) it is evident that a number of these buildings have been vacant for an extended period of time. The appearance of vacant buildings within the Project Area indicates underutilization of existing structures and may lead to a tendency of vacancies to spread quickly throughout the Project Area.
 
Residential vacancies are especially abundant on Lafayette Avenue between Garfield Boulevard and 57th Street. Where there are improved parcels in this stretch, many multi-unit and single family residential structures stand boarded-up and vacant. Vacant residential buildings represent an adverse influence on the Project Area by causing a decrease in the value of surrounding property.
In addition to the number of vacant residential units in the Project Area, many commercial buildings are boarded-up and vacant, as well. The extent and duration of vacancies at these locations and other vacant commercial parcels within the Project Area, combined with the lack of investment in commercial development indicate that the frequency of vacancies will likely persist and spread.
Vacancies are generally distributed equally among commercial and residential structures within the Project Area, and many are owned by the City of Chicago as shown in the Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit E - Vacant Land Map. From the field investigation, it appears that a high concentration of privately owned vacancies occurs in the north/west-central sub-areas of A, B, E, F, I, J, and K, as identified in the Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit B - Sub Area Key Map. This distribution of vacancies results in a significant blighting effect on surrounding properties. Without intervention, vacancies are likely to persist and begin to negatively impact surrounding properties. The field investigation indicates that 185 primary buildings, 20% ofthe 916 total primary buildings, have vacancy of floor space, and It appears that many primary structures have been abandoned without use for an extended period of time.
 
 
7. Lack of Ventilation, Light or Sanitary Facilities
Many older structures fail to provide adequate ventilation, light or sanitary facilities. This is also a characteristic often found in illegal or improper building conversions and in commercial buildings converted to residential usage. Lack of ventilation, light or sanitary facilities are presumed to adversely affect the health of building occupants (i.e., residents, employees or visitors).
Summary of Findings Regarding Lack of Ventilation, Light or Sanitary Facilities:
The exterior field survey of main buildings in the Project Area did not result in documentation of structures without adequate mechanical ventilation, natural light and proper window area ratios.

8. Inadequate Utilities
Inadequate utilities refers to deficiencies in the capacity or condition of utilities which service a property or area, including, but not limited to, storm water drainage, water supply, electrical power, sanitary sewers, gas and electricity.
 
Summary of Findings Regarding Inadequate Utilities:
The Bureau of Engineering Services in the City's Department of Water Management provided the consultant with data on the condition of sanitary sewer mains and water lines in the Project Area. Many of the water mains serving the Project Area are deficient in terms of either age or size. According to the City's Bureau of Engineering Services, all 6-inch cast iron water mains are obsolete and in need of replacement with ductile iron mains of at least eight (8) inches in diameter. Undersized water mains are found in the majority ofthe Project Area's sub-areas. The projected service life of water mains is 100 years. Some sections of water line in the Project Area are more than 120 years old, and the Project Area's sub-areas are served by water mains that exceed their expected service life.
Sanitary sewer data was also reviewed by the Consultant. Many sections of sewer line exceed 100 years of age. Based on the age and condition of lines, 12 sections of sanitary sewer main in the Project Area have been identified as candidates for relining (a less costly alternative to replacement). These relining projects, along with three (3) sewer improvement projects identified through hydraulic studies, are distributed throughout the Project Area.
Obsolete, undersized and deficient water lines are indicated on Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit D - Existing Condition Maps with a dashed line pattern. These deficient utilities are distributed throughout the Project Area and present in 16 (76%) ofthe 21 sub-areas.
 
 
9. Excessive Land Coverage and Overcrowding of Structures and Community Facilities
This factor may be documented by showing instances where building coverage is excessive. Excessive coverage refers to the over-intensive use of property and the crowding of buildings and accessory facilities onto a site. Problem conditions include buildings either improperly situated on the parcel or located on parcels of inadequate size and/or shape in relation to present-day standards of development for health and safety; and multiple buildings on a single parcel. The resulting inadequate conditions include such factors as insufficient provision for light and air, increased threat of fire due to close proximity to nearby buildings, lack of adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, lack of required off-street parking, and inadequate provision for loading or service. Excessive land coverage has an adverse or blighting effect on nearby development because problems associated with lack of parking or loading areas can negatively impact adjoining properties.

Summary of Findings Regarding Excessive Land Coverage and Overcrowding of Structures and Community Facilities:
Structures exhibiting 100% lot coverage with party or fire walls separating one structure from the next is a historical fact of high-density urban development. This situation is common throughout the industrial and commercial corridors in the western portion of the Project Area, and in the southern residential sub-areas. The incidence of excessive land coverage in the Project Area is high both as a result of inadequate spacing between buildings and inadequate parking.
Numerous commercial and industrial businesses are located in structures that cover 100% of their respective lots. Other businesses are utilizing 100% of their lots for business operations. These conditions typically do not allow for off-street loading facilities for shipping operations or do not provide parking for patrons and employees. This has prompted overflow parking and truck traffic associated with normal business operations to utilize surrounding residential areas for parking and access. This is common along Wentworth Avenue and La Salle Street. Furthermore, delivery trucks were observed to be blocking alleys and streets while performing normal delivery operations or accessing shipping facilities.
 
In addition, numerous residential structures exhibited excessive land coverage and overcrowding of structures. Along Wabash Avenue, LaSalle Street and State Street between 58th Street and 60th Street are numerous buildings where the buildings are spaced too closely or buildings are improperly situated on their sites. Residences that were originally built as single family homes have been converted into multi-unit residences. The result of overcrowding of structures in the residential corridors throughout the Project Area is increased demand for parking on residential streets. 30%, or 335 of the 1,128 improved parcels in the Project Area, revealed some evidence of excessive land coverage or overcrowding of structures and community facilities. This Eligibility Study considers no finding regarding Excessive Land Coverage.
 
 
10. Deleterious Land Use or Layout
Deleterious land uses include all instances of incompatible land-use relationships, buildings occupied by inappropriate mixed uses, or uses which may be considered noxious, offensive or environmentally unsuitable.
Summary of Findings Regarding Deleterious Land Use or Layout:
In locations such as the Project Area where its character has evolved over the years, industrial, commercial and residential uses are often in close proximity to one another. It is not unusual to find small pockets or isolated residential buildings within a predominantly industrial area or an industrial use in a residential area. Although these buildings may be considered, because of age and continuous occupancy, as legal nonconforming uses (whose existence and use is thereby "grandfathered"), they are, nonetheless, incompatible land uses inasmuch as the predominant character of the Project Area is influenced by these differing uses.

As illustrated in Exhibit C - Existing Land Use, the Project Area is primarily residential with interspersed pockets of industrial corridors in the western sub-areas, as well as an industrial area to the south. The combination of limited on-site parking and high density industrial and commercial development in close proximity to primarily residential uses causes conflict in traffic, parking, safety, and environmental conditions that has promoted deleterious use of land in some portions of the Project Area. For example, a food manufacturing company, located on South Perry Avenue is located in a predominantly residential part of the Project Area. Parallel streets adjacent to Perry Avenue, Lafayette and LaSalle Streets, contain mostly residential parcels or vacant parcels zoned residential. The food manufacturer's location in a predominantly residential neighborhood is an example of deleterious land uses and land use relationships within the Project Area.
Additionally, the presence of other commercial or industrial uses within residential land uses or abandoned equipment and vehicles are present. As an example, there is a vehicle storage on Wentworth Avenue, or the automotive repair business located on South State Street qualify as deleterious or incompatible land uses. Commercial uses are typically not encouraged within primarily residential neighborhoods. The garage on the residential parcel located on South LaSalle Street is being used for tire storage and is a noxious and offensive land use to neighboring residential property owners. The storage of abandoned vehicles on Wentworth Avenue is another example of deleterious land use. The location ofthe automotive repair business on South State Street adjacent to residential land uses further exhibit's the presence of deleterious land uses distributed throughout the Project Area.
Deleterious land uses and land use relationships were located within 48%, or ten (10) of the 21 sub-areas identified in the Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit B - Sub Area Key Map.
 
 
11. Lack of Community Planning
This may be counted as a factor if the proposed area was developed prior to, or without the benefit or guidance of, a community plan. This means that no community plan existed, was considered inadequate, and/or was virtually ignored during the time of the area's development. Indications of a lack of community planning include:
  1. Streets, alleys, and intersections that are too narrow or awkwardly configured to accommodate traffic movements.
  2. Inadequate street and utility layout.
  3. Tracts of land that are too small or have awkward configurations that would not meet contemporary development standards.
  4. Properties lack adequate access to public streets.
  5. Industrial land use and zoning adjacent to or within heavily developed residential areas without ample buffer areas.

Commercial and industrial properties that are too small to adequately accommodate appropriate off-street parking and loading requirements.
 
7
The presence of deteriorated structures, code violations and other physical conditions that are further evidence of an absence of effective community planning.
 
Summary of Findings Regarding Lack of Community Planning:
Much of the Project Area was developed originally from the late 1800's to the mid-1900's. As evidenced by limited lot sizes for commercial uses, placement and orientation of buildings with total or near-total lot coverage, and lack of provisions for off-street parking, loading and service, the development of the area occurred without consideration of a comprehensive community plan with adequate guidelines for the overall community area development.
It should be noted that the Study Area has benefited from community planning in recent times. However, many of the conditions that now plague the area are the result of original development, which occurred without the benefit of sound community planning. Therefore, while significant planning investment has been made in the Study Area over recent decades, original development done without the benefit of sound community planning has contributed significantly to the Study Area's current problems.
As previously noted in this analysis, many properties in the Project Area are affected by narrow streets, lack of parking that has led to excessive land coverage, incompatible land-uses, and inadequate utilities. Additionally, there is evidence of deteriorating building conditions and numerous code violations. Large commercial or industrial properties are in potential conflict with residential areas and may not meet contemporary development standards. Deteriorated infrastructure is present as indicated by areas with standing water that also indicate inadequate storm water utilities. Many parcels have been left vacant where previously there had been structural improvements. Increased disinvestment and lack of demand has resulted in the vacancy of structures and many buildings have subsequently been demolished. The lack of new construction after demolition can also be attributed to a lack of community planning in the Project Area. As indicated previously, there is a general lack of commercial uses throughout the Project Area. While Garfield Boulevard, State Street and Prairie Avenue had once served as commercial corridors for the Project Area, many of the previously existing businesses have been replaced by vacant or boarded-up storefronts. For example, on South State Street a previously open commercial structure is now boarded and vacant. This example shows the presence of deteriorated structures and other conditions that indicate the absence of community planning. The lack of effective community planning has led to continued disinvestment in the Project Area as well as increased commercial and residential vacancies.
Lack of community planning was observed in 62% or 13 ofthe 21 sub-areas identified in the Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit B - Sub Area Key Map.

12. Environmental Remediation Costs
If an area has incurred Illinois or United States Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study conducted by an independent consultant recognized as having expertise in environmental remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks required by State or federal law, provided that the remediation costs constitute a material impediment to the development of the redevelopment project area then this factor may be counted.
Summary of Findings Regarding Environmental Remediation Costs:
This factor was not identified in the Project Area. However, field observation reveals that several properties may be affected by environmental contamination.
 
13. Declining or Lagging Rate of Growth of Total Equalized Assessed Valuation
If the total equalized assessed value of the proposed redevelopment project area has declined for three (3) of the last five (5) calendar years for which information is available, or is increasing at an annual rate that is less than the balance of the municipality for three (3) of the last five (5) calendar years for which information is available, or is increasing at an annual rate that is less than the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department of Labor or successor agency for three (3) of the last five (5) calendar years for which information is available then this factor may be counted.
Summary of Findings Regarding Declining or Lagging Rate of Growth of Total Equalized Assessed Valuation:
As discussed in Section ll-B, Development Activity and Assessed Value Trends, of
this Eligibility Study, analysis of historic EAV for the Project Area indicates that the EAV of the Project Area has declined in 2010, 2011, and 2012 and has also experienced growth at a rate less than that of the balance of the City and less than the annual Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers in the Chicago-Gary-Kenosha MSA in those same years.
F.      Conclusion of Investigation of Eligibility Factors for the Improved Portion of the Redevelopment Project Area
The presence of deteriorated buildings; deteriorated site improvements and public rights-of-way; inadequate utilities; deleterious land use relationships; lack of community planning; and declining or sub-par EAV growth are all indications of detrimental conditions in the Project Area. Furthermore, these conditions are present to a meaningful extent and reasonably distributed throughout the improved portions of the Project Area. The presence of these TIF eligibility factors underscores the lack of private investment in the Project Area.

The tax increment program and redevelopment plan include measures designed to reduce or eliminate the deficiencies, which cause the improved portion of the Project Area to qualify as a conservation area consistent with the strategy of the City of Chicago for revitalizing other designated redevelopment areas and industrial corridors. As documented in this investigation and analysis, it is clear that a number of eligibility factors affect the Project Area. The presence of these factors qualifies the improved portion ofthe Project Area as a conservation area.
G.   Analysis of Undeveloped or Vacant Property
For the purpose of qualification for TIF, the term "vacant land" is defined in the TIF Act as follows:
Any parcel or combination of parcels of real property without industrial, commercial, and residential buildings which has not been used for commercial agricultural purposes within five (5) years prior to the designation of the redevelopment project area.
Approximately 120.6 acres of the 394.6-acre Area (30.6% of the net land area excluding Washington Park/Dyett High School) is considered vacant by this definition. Vacant land is identified in the Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit C - Existing Land Use Map and highlighted in the Plan Appendix, Attachment Two, Exhibit E - Vacant Land Map. The blighting factors present on vacant parcels are summarized on Table 3-2 - Blighting Factors Matrix for Vacant Land on the following page.

Using GIS software the Consultant evaluated the Project Area's vacant land in terms of the conditions listed in Table 3-2 during field surveys and subsequent analyses. The data was consolidated by sub-area for each ofthe factors relevant to making a finding of eligibility.
 
Vacant Blighted Area Category 1 Factors:
 
Obsolete Platting, Diversity of Ownership, Tax Delinquencies, Deterioration of Structures in Neighboring Areas, Environmental Remediation, Declining or Sub-Par EA.V. (2 or More)
 
Vacant land may qualify as a blighted area if any two (2) of the six (6) Vacant Blighted Area Category 1 Factors are present or if any one (1) of the Vacant Blighted Area Category 2 Factors is present.
 
Summary of Findings Regarding Obsolete Platting:
The result of obsolete platting of vacant land is parcels of limited or narrow size or configurations of parcels of irregular size or shape that would be difficult to develop on a planned basis and in a manner compatible with contemporary standards and requirements, or platting that failed to create rights-of-way for streets or alleys or that created inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys, or other public rights-of-way or that omitted easement for public utilities.
This Eligibility Study considers no finding regarding Obsolete Platting in the Project Area.
 
Summary of Findings Regarding Diversity of Ownership:
 
Diversity of ownership refers to parcels of vacant land owned by so large a number of individuals or entities that the ability to assemble the land for development is retarded or impeded. As indicated above, some assembly of parcels has taken place over time. However, an analysis of common ownership grouping reveals that there remain diverse ownership conditions in 9 of the Area's 21 sub-areas (43%). This diversity of ownership in the Project Area will present an obstacle to redevelopment ofthe Project Area.
 
Summary of Findings Regarding Tax Delinquencies:
 
There are 952 vacant parcels in the Project Area. 498 (52%) of these vacant parcels are owned by the City and another 53 (6%) are owned by other entities exempt from property tax, leaving a total of 401 (42%) vacant, privately owned, tax revenue generating parcels. The ability of these parcels to generate property tax revenue is critical and represents increased revenue potential for the Project Area. For the 2012 tax year, there were 200 (21%) vacant parcels found to be delinquent. Although not an impact on the qualifying factor, it is also important to note that of the 401 vacant, privately owned, tax generating parcels, 50% were delinquent for the 2012 tax year.

Summary of Findings Regarding Deterioration of Structures or Site Improvements in Neighboring Areas Adjacent to the Vacant Land:
As indicated in the prior analysis of blighting factors on improved portions of the Project Area, approximately 63% of buildings exhibited deteriorated conditions and 86% of sub-areas exhibited deteriorated right-of-way conditions. It was found that 896 (94%) ofthe 952 vacant parcels are located adjacent to deteriorated buildings or site improvements.
Much of the vacant land in the Project Area is adjacent to or near deteriorated buildings and site improvements. These deteriorated buildings detract from the desirability and marketability of nearby vacant sites. This impediment to redevelopment can be addressed in part through the use of public-private financing mechanisms such as tax increment financing to encourage investment.
Summary of Findings Regarding Environmental Remediation:
As is noted in the discussion of environmental remediation, this factor was not identified. It is not known whether past land uses on parcels that are now vacant created soil or groundwater contamination. No documentation of past contamination of vacant land is presently available.
Summary of Findings Regarding Declining or Sub-Par Equalized Assessment Valuation (EAV) Growth:
As indicated in the prior analysis of blighting factors on improved portions of the Project Area, analysis of historic EA V for the Project Area indicated that the EA V has declined in 2010, 2011, and 2012 and has also experienced growth at a rate less than that of the balance of the City and less than the annual Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers in the Chicago-Gary-Kenosha MSA in those same years.
 
With regard to the second set of vacant land factors, if the category 1 factors are not found to exist, only one (1) category 2 factor is required for eligibility. No category 2 factors were found to be present in the Project Area.
Summary of Findings Regarding Blighted Improved Area Immediately Prior to Becoming Vacant:
It is evident from aerial photography that many buildings have been demolished in the Project Area. Those familiar with the Project Area indicate that many of these buildings were deteriorated and vacant. Additionally, over the course of the last few decades, residential buildings have been demolished as the buildings deteriorated and were vacated. These parcels were "blighted before vacant". The City has developed the Red X program to identify properties with structural or interior hazards with a red "X" sign. These hazards can include, but are not limited to, building deterioration or damage from previous fires, structural hazards when components of the building have been removed, and collapse hazards due to the integrity of chimney tops, parapet walls, roof systems and or stair systems being compromised. The red "X" serves as an indicator to first responders to the existence of the hazards. Further, the presence of the red "X" makes it unlawful for any person to enter the building without first notifying the fire commissioner.   The vacant land that remains speaks to the poor building conditions

before the demolition, the challenges of the Area, and also presents a resource and opportunity for in-fill development and revitalization. Based on data from the City, 63 demolition permits have been issued in the Project Area from 2007 to 2013. However, documentation of actual building demolitions and the conditions of these parcels prior to their becoming vacant is not available, and for the purposes of this analysis this factor was not shown as present within the Project Area on Table 3-2 - Blighting Factors Matrix for Vacant Land.
 
Summary of Findings Regarding Unused or Illegal Disposal Site:
Garbage and littering consisting of various materials was found on scattered vacant lots around the Project Area. However, none of these sites had accumulations of materials at a sufficient quantity to classify them as "illegal disposal sites", and for the purposes of this analysis this factor was not shown on Table 3-2 - Blighting Factors Matrix for Vacant Land to be present. Nonetheless, it should be noted that the prevalence of vacant lots in the Project Area, most of which are not owned by residents of the Project Area, is such that ensuring proper maintenance of vacant lots will continue to be a challenge for the neighborhood. The presence of overgrown or litter-strewn vacant lots detracts from the appearance ofthe Project Area and inhibits investment.
H.    Conclusion of Investigation of Eligibility Factors for the Vacant Portion of the Redevelopment Project Area
The discussion above, and the evidence summarized in Table 3-2 - Blighting Factors Matrix for Vacant Land, indicate that the factors required to qualify the vacant portion of the Project Area as a blighted area exist, that the presence of those factors were documented to a meaningful extent so that the City may reasonably find that the factors are clearly present within the intent of the Act, and that the factors were reasonably distributed throughout the vacant portion ofthe Project Area.
The tax increment program and redevelopment plan include measures designed to reduce or eliminate the deficiencies which cause the Project Area to qualify consistent with the strategy of the City of Chicago for revitalizing other designated redevelopment areas and industrial corridors. As documented in this investigation and analysis, it is clear that the vacant portion of the Project Area is impacted by a number of eligibility factors. The presence of these factors qualifies the vacant portion of the Project Area as a blighted area.

IV.      SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
The conclusions of PGAV PLANNERS are that the number, degree, and distribution of eligibility-factors in the Project Area as documented in this Eligibility Study warrant: i) the designation of the improved portion of the Project Area as a conservation area, and ii) the designation of the vacant portion of the Project Area as a blighted area as set forth in the Act. Below is a table summarizing the qualifying factors that are found to exist in the Project Area.

Notes:
  1. Not including Age as a factor, only three (3) factors are required by the Act to be present for eligibility as a Conservation Area. Eight (8) factors are verified present in the Project Area.
  2. Except for EAV growth, qualifying factors can be identified as being found to a major extent by their existence on more than 50% of the structures or sub-areas in the Project Area. Three (3) factors were found to exist to a major extent and four (4) other factors were found to exist to a minor extent.
  3. Age, although not a blighting factor for designation, is a threshold that must be present for an area to qualify as a Conservation Area.

Although it may be concluded that the mere presence of the stated eligibility factors noted above may be sufficient to make a finding of qualification as a conservation area or a vacant blighted area, this evaluation was made on the basis that the factors must be present to an extent that would lead reasonable persons to conclude that public intervention is appropriate or necessary. From the data presented in this report it is clear that the eligibility factors are reasonably distributed throughout the Project Area.
Despite small incremental improvements scattered throughout the Project Area, there exist conditions that continue to threaten the public safety, health and welfare of the Project Area. While not an eligibility factor under the Act, crime statistics also provide evidence that these threatening conditions are present in the Project Area. Recent crime statistics (Chicago Tribune -2014, May 19. Retrieved from http://crime.chicagotribune.com/chicaqo/communitv/ for the month of April 2014, obtained from the City of Chicago Data Portal.) indicate the Washington Park Community Area currently ranks 7th among Chicago's 77 community areas in violent crime reports; 2nd for property crime reports; and 10th for quality of life crime reports. Other crime data sources may differ, but all indicated that the Washington Park Community Area has a high rate of crime. Furthermore, the presence of factors indicated by the Act include deteriorated, obsolete structures; building vacancies; inadequate utilities; land use incompatibilities; deteriorated streets and sidewalks; declining or subpar EAV growth; and the predominance of underutilized, vacant and tax exempt or tax delinquent properties in the Project Area and may result in continued disinvestment that will not be overcome without action by the City. These conditions have been previously documented in this report. All properties within the Project Area will benefit from the TIF program.
The conclusions presented in this Eligibility Study are those of the Consultant. The local governing body should review this Eligibility Study and, if satisfied with the summary of findings contained herein, adopt a resolution making a finding of a conservation area for the improved portion of the Project Area and a finding of a blighted area for the vacant portion of the Project Area and making this Eligibility Study a part ofthe public record.
The analysis contained herein was based upon data assembled by Ernest R. Sawyer Enterprises and PGAV PLANNERS. The study and survey of the Project Area indicate the requirements necessary for designation as a combination conservation and blighted area, are present. Therefore, the Project Area qualifies as a combination conservation area and a vacant blighted area to be designated as a redevelopment project area and eligible for Tax Increment Financing under the Act.

INTRODUCTION
 
 
Goodman Williams Group was retained by Ernest R. Sawyer Enterprises, Inc. to be part of a team working for the City of Chicago Department of Planning and Development to develop a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district for an area designated as the Washington Park Project Area. PGAV Urban Consulting is also part of the team for this assignment.
The Washington Park Project Area (referred to in this report as the "Project Area") is generally bounded by:
  • Cottage Grove Avenue and Washington Park on the east
  • 51st Street on the north
  • The Dan Ryan Expressway (I-90/94) on the west
  • 63rd Street on the south
A map of the Project Area is included in the Redevelopment Plan, which is contained in a separate document.
Housing Impact Study
The Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area does not presently envision acquiring or demolishing occupied housing units. It is possible, however, that at some point during the 23-year life of the TIF some relocation may occur as a consequence of the renovation and redevelopment activity that is envisioned.
It is for that reason that this report fulfills the legislative requirements for a Housing Impact Study, as set forth in the Illinois Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-1 et seq.). The specific requirements of the Housing Impact Study are as follows:
Part I of the Housing Impact Study shall include the following for all residential units within the Project Area:
  1. data as to whether the residential units are single family or multi-family units; and
  2. the number and type of rooms within the units, if that information is available; and
  3. whether the units are inhabited or uninhabited, as determined not less than 45 days before the date that the ordinance or resolution required by subsection (a) of Section 11-74.4-5 is passed; and

(iv) data as to the racial and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited residential units. The data requirement as to the racial and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited residential units shall be deemed to be fully satisfied by data from the most recent federal census.
Part II of the Housing Impact Study shall identify the inhabited residential units in the Project Area that are to be or may be removed. If inhabited residential units are to be removed, then the housing impact study shall identify:
    1. the number and location of those units that will or may be removed; and
    2. the municipality's plans for relocation assistance for those residents in the Project Area whose residences are to be removed; and
    3. the availability of replacement housing for those residents whose residences are to be removed, and the type, location, and cost of the housing; and
  1. the type and extent of relocation assistance to be provided.

II.      HOUSING IMPACT STUDY - Part I
 
The information presented in this report is compiled from a variety of sources. In winter 2014, Ernest R. Sawyer Enterprises and PGAV conducted field research that identified the parcels and buildings located in the Project Area, the number of units in each building, and whether the units were occupied or vacant.
The field work was supplemented with information from the U.S. Census American Community Survey Selected Housing Characteristics Profile. Ratios from the four Census tracts that align most closely with the Project Area were applied to the actual unit counts to provide estimates of the age of the housing stock, the number of rooms and bedrooms, and whether the occupied units were leased or owned.
Demographic information on current residents of the Project Area was provided by Esri Business Analyst, a respected vendor of demographic and economic data. Other information in Part II of the Housing Impact Study was provided by Goodman Williams Group and reliable secondary sources as noted in the tables.
Number and Type of Residential Units
The recent field work identified a total of 4,375 housing units in 887 buildings located within the Project Area. Table 1 provides estimates of the age of the structures based on percentages derived from the Census. As the table indicates, nearly half of the housing units in the Project Area were built before 1939.

This older housing stock consists mostly of multifamily buildings. As Table 2 below shows, 22.7% of units in the Project Area are located in buildings containing two to four units. Almost three quarters of the housing stock (74.5%) is in buildings with 5 or more units, and only 2.8% of the housing stock is comprised of single-family homes.

Number and Type of Rooms Within Units
Estimates of the number and types of rooms in the units in the Project Area are shown in Table 3. Key findings include:
  • Of the 4,375 total units counted in the Project Area, more than 27% contain five rooms. Another 21% of units contain four rooms, and 17% contain six rooms.
  • Most of the units in the Project Area (60.9%) contain two or three bedrooms. Smaller studio and one-bedroom units make up 30% of the units. Larger units with four or five bedrooms make up the remainder of the mix.
These findings suggest that the housing stock in the Project Area includes a high percentage of larger units with two or more bedrooms. These apartments meet the needs of larger families with children.

Race and Ethnicity of Residents
Table 5 provides demographic information on residents of the Project Area.
  • The 2013 total population of the Project Area is estimated to be 8,730, a slight decrease from the 2010 Census count. Of the total, 97.1% of the residents identify as Black or African American, 0.5% White, 0.1% Asian, and less than 1% Hispanic or Latino.
  • The majority of the Project Area's 3,240 estimated households in 2013 were Family Households, defined as two or more related persons living together. The number of non-family households grew between 2010 and 2013.
  • The number of family households living in the Project Area with incomes below the poverty level was slightly higher than the number of family households at or above the poverty level. The estimated median household income within the Project Area in 2013 was $16,880, well below the estimated 2013 median for the City of Chicago of $43,854.

III.     HOUSING IMPACT STUDY - Part II
 
 
Number and Location of Units that Could Potentially be Removed
One of the defining features of this proposed TIF district is the abundance of vacant land, which presents many opportunities for development without the need to disturb existing structures. The primary objectives ofthe Plan are to rehabilitate existing single and multi-family dwellings, redevelop vacant land, and correct obsolete land use patterns through redevelopment.
Methodology
Presented below are the three steps used to fulfill the statutory requirements of defining the number and location of inhabited residential units that may be removed or impacted.
  1. Properties identified for acquisition. An acquisition plan has been prepared as part of the Plan. There are no occupied housing units that are planned for acquisition.
  2. Dilapidation. As stated above and presented in more detail in the Eligibility Study, there are no occupied residential buildings classified as "dilapidated" in the Project Area. As a result of this analysis, there are no occupied housing units that are likely to be displaced because they are located within a dilapidated structure.
  3. Changes in land use. The Land Use Plan, presented in Section V of the Plan identifies the future land uses to be in effect upon adoption of the Plan. If public or private redevelopment occurs in accordance with land use changes proposed by the Plan, displacement of inhabited units will not result. As a result of this analysis, no occupied housing units are likely to be displaced because of land use changes.
Relocation Plan
With no residential displacement anticipated, a relocation plan for displaced residents within the proposed TIF District has not been established.
Replacement Housing
In accordance with Section 11-74.4-3 (n)(7) ofthe Act, the City shall make a good faith effort to ensure that affordable replacement housing for any qualified displaced resident whose residence is removed is located in or near the Project Area.

At this juncture there are no plans to remove any occupied residences within the Project Area. However, if replacement housing were needed, available housing options within the boundaries of, or in close proximity to, the Project Area are discussed below.
Housing Eligibility Assessment
Table 6 presents a breakdown of Project Area households by income. These 2013 estimates suggest that 44.5% of the households in the Project Area have annual incomes of less than $15,000. Nearly a third (31.9%) have incomes between $15,000 and $35,000 annually, and the remaining 23.7% have incomes in excess of $35,000.

Most of the subsidized and public housing options available to low-income residents in Chicago are determined by Maximum Annual Income Limits published by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Limits are based on household size and are calculated from the Area Median Income (AMI). The 2013 schedule, the most recent available, is shown in Table 7 below. The highlighting corresponds to the household size and income that applies to most of the residents in the Project Area.

Rental Housing
This section discusses rental housing options, including CHA, affordable, and market-rate.
Housing Choice Vouchers. Approximately 86% of the Project Area's residents are renters and 74% of all households have an income at or below 60% AMI, making them qualified for Housing Choice Vouchers, also known as Section 8. Under the Housing Choice Voucher Program, renters pay 30-40% of their income for rent and utilities. Landlords whose tenants have Housing Choice Vouchers are entitled to Fair Market Rents (FMR), established annually by HUD, and which are roughly equivalent to Maximum Monthly Gross Rents for households at 60% AMI. Landlords collect the difference between tenants' rent and the FMR directly from the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA). According to the CHA's FY2012 Annual Report, the City of Chicago had 38,525 tenant-based vouchers at the end of 2012.
Project-Based Voucher Propram. This program is designed for developments where landlords enter into a contract with HUD to provide subsidized housing such that the Section 8 status is tied to the development and cannot be transferred if a qualified low-income tenant moves away. A major concern in gentrifying neighborhoods is the loss of these project-based Section 8 units when rental properties convert to condominiums or when landlords choose not to renew their Section 8 contracts, thereby decreasing the availability of low-income housing.
Within the Project Area and surrounding community areas, Table 8 shows that there are a total of 6,607 Section 8 units in 70 developments.

CHA and the Plan for Transformation. Chicago's public housing stock is in the midst of an ongoing redevelopment program known as CHA Plan for Transformation. Now in its 13th year, the plan calls for the redevelopment of 25,000 units of public housing into mixed-income communities. The CHA's FY2012 Annual Report projected a total of 21,376 units, or 85.5% of 25,000 units, to be completed by the end of FY2012.
Many of the properties in the CHA's portfolio are reserved specifically for families. The CHA Community Wide (Family Housing) Wait List remained closed to new applicants in Fiscal Year 2012; 32,647 applicants remain on the list prior to completion of its wait list survey update which began in December 2012. There are several CHA properties in and around the Project Area, discussed below.
  • Washington Park Low-Rises. This family housing development consists of 60 two-story row houses in 27 scattered locations roughly bounded by 39th Street (N), 63rd Street (S), Stewart Avenue (W), and Lake Michigan (E). Some of the units are in the Project Area. Renovation of the units, which were built in 1963, was began in and was completed in 2010.
  • Washington Park Homes. This family housing development is being redeveloped and rehabilitated as a mixed-income community. The completed project as currently envisioned will include 192 public housing units (37%), 183 affordable units (35%), and 146 market-rate units (28%) for a total of 521 units. At the end of 2008, two developments were completed: Keystone Place and St. Edmund's Meadows.
St. Edmund's Meadows, located near the intersection of 61st and South Michigan Avenue, was completed in 2007. The new rental development consists of three- and four-bedroom row houses and three-flat buildings. 14 of the 56 units are rehabilitated public housing units. Keystone Place has a mix of 38 public, 24 affordable and 7 market-rate units in the Woodlawn community area bounded by 63rd Street (N), Woodlawn Avenue (E), Marquette Road (S), and Drexel Avenue (W).
  • Legends South. This major redevelopment replaces Robert Taylor Homes. Once the country's largest public housing development with 4,321 units, Robert Taylor was demolished between 2002 and 2007, clearing 92 acres bounded by 39th Street on the north, State Street on the east, 54th Street on the south, and Federal Street on the west. Redevelopment of the property calls for 2,400 mixed-income rental and for-sale units, with one-third of the units reserved each for public, affordable, and market-rate housing tenants. The redevelopment team is being led by Brinshore Development.

Planned and Completed Rental Developments
 
Several new development projects that are completed, are under construction, or are planned could provide additional affordable rental opportunities to residents of the Project Area. These include:
  • POAH's redevelopment of Grove Park Plaza on South Cottage Grove Avenue between 61st and 63rd Streets. The renamed Woodlawn Park will include 420 residential units and 65,000 square feet of commercial space.
  • The Shops and Lofts at 47, a mixed-use development that is currently under construction at the southwest corner of 47th and South Cottage Grove Avenue that will include 96 rental apartments.
  • Parkway Gardens, located on South King Drive between 63rd and 66th Street reopened in 2013 after a two-year renovation of its 694 units.
  • The Rosenwald, a long vacant landmarked building at 4600 South Michigan Avenue, is scheduled to undergo extensive redevelopment. The project as currently envisioned will include 239 apartments, 51,000 square feet of commercial space and 27,000 square feet of community space.

Market Rate Rentals. The Project Area has relatively few market-rate rental apartments. Listings in Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED) in January 2014 revealed apartment rates that roughly corresponded to IHDA's Maximum Monthly Gross Rents for 50% to 60% Area Median Income (AMI).
The outliers shown in Table 12 below are three-bedroom apartments in Washington Park that were recently rehabbed and finished with high-end features.

Senior Housing. Two affordable senior housing projects are located in the Project Area, one with 35 units and one with 60 units. Rent is tied to residents' incomes, and all units are reserved for low-income residents.
The CHA owns 10 dedicated senior buildings in the vicinity of the Project Area, although none is located in Washington Park. Seniors must be 60 years old to apply and 62 years old to move in to CHA senior housing. Nearby community areas with CHA senior buildings include Grand Boulevard, Kenwood, Fuller Park, Greater Grand Crossing, Woodlawn, and Englewood. A list of senior properties can be found in the master table in the Appendix.

Planned and Completed Rental Developments
St. Edmund's Redevelopment Corporation (SERC) is a prominent developer in the Washington Park community area. Since its inception in 1990, it has developed 598 housing units in 26 buildings. Its most recent development is St. Edmund's Court, a vacant apartment building rehabbed into 36 units of affordable housing in conjunction with the City of Chicago's Neighborhood Stabilization Program. Located near St. Edmund's Common, the project was completed in December 2011.
SERC has two additional projects in the development stages:
  • St. Edmund's Oasis will be a 54 unit rental townhome development on scattered sites on 61st St, Indiana and Prairie Avenues. SERC is partnering with Tria Adelfi, LLC in a joint venture through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program.
  • St. Edmund's Tower Annex (Tower Annex) will be a 34 unit affordable senior rental building at 6151 South Michigan Avenue.

For-Sale Housing
As discussed previously, only 14.0% of Project Area residents were estimated to be homeowners and the remaining 86.0% were renters. The market of for-sale housing is therefore relatively smaller than other community areas. Table 13 below summarizes 28 listings from registered Realtors as reported by Midwest Real Estate Data. The real estate listings revealed a wide range in prices, from inexpensive to high-end units. The predominant unit type was three-bedroom condominiums.
Table 13
      Summary of Washington Park For-Sale Listings      
 
Type      # Bedrooms      Median Price         Price Range      # Listings
 
Condominium             1                 $54,500      $28,000 - $125,000      4
Condominium             2                 $33,600      $20,000 - $89,000      5

Tables 14 and 15 on the following pages show median sale prices of detached and attached housing units sold by Realtors in the Washington Park, Englewood, Woodlawn, and Grand Boulevard community areas over the previous 10 years. Prices are highest in Grand Boulevard, remaining stable from 2005 to 2007. Prices have dropped precipitously with the market downturn beginning at the end of 2007.

Proposed For-Sale Developments in Project Area
A number of new residential developments are planned or have been announced in the Project Area, taking advantage of the vacant lots or existing buildings in need of rehabilitation. Most of these developments, described below, are located in the eastern half of the Project Area. The status of a number of these developments is uncertain, and will depend on the ongoing recovery of the housing market.
  • 10 single-family homes were proposed by Appiah Development on South Wabash Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets.
  • A 12-unit condominium development was planned at 57th Street and South Prairie Avenue.
  • Ascendance Partners proposed rehabbing an existing building at 59th Street and South Wabash Avenue to create approximately 32 units.
  • Good Shepherd Community Service Organization proposed developing 19 units between 56th and 57th Streets on South Prairie Avenue.

Relocation Assistance
In the event that the implementation of the Plan results in the removal of residential housing units in the Project Area occupied by low-income households or very low-income households, or the displacement of low-income households or very low-income households from such residential housing units, such households shall be provided affordable housing and relocation assistance not less than that which would be provided under the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and the regulations thereunder, including the eligibility criteria. Affordable housing may be either existing or newly constructed housing. The City shall make a good faith effort to ensure that this affordable housing is located in or near the Project Area.
As used in the above paragraph "low-income households", "very low-income households" and "affordable housing" shall have the meanings set forth in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, 310 ILCS 65/3. As of the date of this Plan, these statutory terms are defined as follows: (i) "low-income household" means a single person, family or unrelated persons living together whose adjusted income is more than 50 percent but less than 80 percent of the median income of the area of residence, adjusted for family size, as such adjusted income and median income are determined from time to time by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") for purposes of Section 8 ofthe United States Housing Act of 1937; (ii) "very low-income household" means a single person, family or unrelated persons living together whose adjusted income is not more than 50 percent of the median income of the area of residence, adjusted for family size, as so determined by HUD; and (iii) "affordable housing" means residential housing that, so long as the same is occupied by low-income households or very low-income households, requires payment of monthly housing costs, including utilities other than telephone, of no more than 30 percent of the maximum allowable income for such households, as applicable.
