WHEREAS, the Applicant leases a portion of the Subject Property to Metropolis Coffee Company, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the "Tenant"), and Tenant uses said property for coffee roasting, warehousing, and office space, for the production and sale of coffee products, and for related uses; and

 

WHEREAS, the Applicant intends to rehabilitate approximately 112,000 square feet and demolish 23,000 square feet of an approximately 135,000 square foot industrial facility located on the Subject Property; and

 

WHEREAS, following the rehabilitation and demolition, the Applicant plans to continue leasing a portion of the Subject Property to the Tenant and target food related companies to lease the remaining portions of the Subject Property; and

 

WHEREAS, the Applicant has filed with the Office of the Assessor of Cook County (the "Assessor") an eligibility application for a Class 6(b) tax incentive under the Ordinance; and

 

WHEREAS, the Applicant purchased the Subject Property for value from a seller that has no financial interest in the Applicant; and

WHEREAS, it is the responsibility of the Assessor to determine that an application for a Class 6(b) classification or renewal of a Class 6(b) classification is eligible pursuant to the Ordinance; and

WHEREAS, the Ordinance requires that, in connection with the filing of a Class 6(b) eligibility application with the Assessor, the applicant must obtain from the municipality in which such real estate that is proposed for Class 6(b) designation is located a resolution expressly stating that the municipality has determined that the incentive provided by Class 6(b) is necessary for development to occur on such real estate and that the municipality supports and consents to the Class 6(b) classification by the Assessor; and

 

WHEREAS, the intended use of the Subject Property will provide significant present and future employment; and

 

WHEREAS, notwithstanding the Class 6(b) status of the Subject Property, the redevelopment and utilization thereof will generate significant new revenues to the City in the form of additional real estate taxes and other tax revenues; now therefore,

 

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO:
