The Original Plan was amended pursuant to an ordinance adopted by the City Council of the City of Chicago on May 11, 2005 ("Amendment Number 1") to add additional property to the Original Project Area boundary (the Original Project Area, as amended shall be referred to as the "Project Area") and included an enlarged Project Area boundary, a description of the presence and distribution of eligibility factors within the new area, and a revised legal description. '
The Original Plan, inclusive of changes set forth in Amendment Number 1 (the "First Amended Plan"), is being amended a second time to increase the Project Area's budget. The amendments to the First Amended Plan are outlined below following the format of Amendment Number 1.
Section I: Introduction
The following paragraph is to be added after paragraph 3:
In 2011, S.B. Friedman & Company was retained to amend the Redevelopment Plan for a second time. The purpose of the second amendment is to increase the Project Area's Estimated Redevelopment Project Costs.

Section VI: Redevelopment Project
In Section VI, under the subsection Eligible Redevelopment Project Costs, paragraph 2 is to be replaced by the following paragraph:
In the event the Act is amended after the date of the approval of this Redevelopment Plan by the City Council of Chicago to (a) include new eligible redevelopment project costs or (b) expand the scope or increase the amount of existing eligible redevelopment project costs (such as, for example increasing the amount of interest costs that may be paid under 65 ILCS 5/1 l-74.4-3(q)(l 1)), this Redevelopment Plan shall be deemed to incorporate such additional, expanded or increased eligible costs as Redevelopment Project Costs under the Redevelopment Plan, to the extent permitted by the Act. In the event of such amendments to the Act, the City may add any new eligible redevelopment project costs as a line item in Table P-2 or otherwise adjust the line items in Table P-2 without amendment to this Redevelopment Plan, to the extent permitted by the Act. In no instance, however, shall such additions or adjustments result in an increase of more than five percent after adjustment for inflation in the total redevelopment project costs without following the procedure for amendment set forth in the Act.
Under the subsection Estimated Project Costs, Table P-2: Estimated Redevelopment Project Costs and associated footnotes are to be replaced with the following table and associated footnotes:

By 2023, it is anticipated that the equalized assessed valuation for the Project Area will be approximately $309 million. The calculation assumes that assessments appreciate at a rate of 2% per year.

Introduction.
This report documents the Tax Increment Redevelopment Plan and Project (the "Redevelopment Plan") for the Fullerton/Milwaukee Redevelopment Project Area ("the Project Area") which comprises the Fullerton/Milwaukee redevelopment project area  (the  "Original  Project  Area")   proposed  in   the Fullerton/Milwaukee
 
47336 JOURNAL-CITY COUNCIL-CHICAGO 5/11/2005
Redevelopment Plan, dated December 21, 1999 (the "Original Plan") and the Amendment Area as documented in this report. The Redevelopment Plan has been prepared for the use of the City of Chicago (the "City") by Teska Associates, Inc. The proposed Redevelopment Plan seeks to respond to a number of problems and needs within the Project Area, and is indicative of a strong commitment and desire on the part of the City to improve and revitalize the Project Area. This document was intended to provide a framework for improvements within the Project Area over the next twenty-three (23) years. The goal of the Redevelopment Plan is to encourage the redevelopment of existing obsolete and blighted buildings for uses which will contribute to the economic strength and vitality of the surrounding community.
In 1999, the City retained the planning consulting firm of Teska Associates, Inc. ("T.A.I.") along with project team members Mann, Gin, Dubin and Frasier, Inc. (architects), and Valerie S. Kretchmer Associates, Inc. (real estate analysts), to assist the City in the development of a tax increment financing program for the Original Project Area. T.A.L and its project team members performed site evaluation and identified necessary public improvements. The consultant team also documented the presence of age, deterioration of buildings and surface improvements, depreciation of physical maintenance, obsolescence, presence of structures below minimum code standards, excessive vacancies and lack of community planning. This evidence enabled T.A.I, to conclude that the Original Project Area met the statutory requirements for a Conservation Area and could be designated as a tax increment financing district under the Illinois Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-1, et seq., as amended (the "Act").
In 2004, T.A.I, was retained to assist in an update of the Redevelopment Plan. T.A.I, reviewed blocks proposed for amendment.(the "Amendment Area") into the redevelopment project area and documented the eligibility factors for the proposed blocks based on those factors identified in the Act. The eligibility study has been updated to reflect the eligibility factors which exist on parcels from three (3) existing project area blocks and ten (10) new blocks all adjacent to the Original Project Area. T.A.I, has amended the Redevelopment Plan to reflect the amendment of these parcels to the Original Project Area to create the updated Project Area.
The Redevelopment Plan summarizes the analyses and findings of the consultants' work, which, unless otherwise noted; is the responsibility of T.A.L. The City is entitled to rely on the findings and conclusions of this Redevelopment Plan in designating the Project Area as a redevelopment project area under the "Act". T.A.I, has prepared this Redevelopment Plan and the related eligibility study with the understanding that the City would rely on: (a) the findings and conclusions of the Redevelopment Plan and the related eligibility study in proceeding with the designation of the Project Area and the adoption and implementation of the Redevelopment Plan; and (b) the fact that T.A.I, has obtained the necessary

information so that the Redevelopment Plan and the related eligibility study will comply with the Act.
The Project Area is located approximately five (5) miles northwest of the central business district of Chicago. The Project Area encompasses portions of four (4) major corridors: West Armitage Avenue, from North Ridgeway Avenue to North Milwaukee Avenue; West Fullerton Avenue, from North Kimball Avenue to North Mozart Street; West Belmont Avenue, from North Tripp Avenue to North Hamlin Avenue; and North Milwaukee Avenue, from West Homer Street to West School Street {see Figure A).
The boundaries of the Project Area have been established to carefully include those properties that will gain an immediate and substantial benefit from the proposed redevelopment project improvements and Redevelopment Plan. The Project Area consists of approximately two hundred fifty-seven (257) acres within one hundred one (101) legal blocks or portions thereof. The Project Area is zoned predominantly for business and commercial uses. The four (4) commercial corridors included in this Project Area, along Milwaukee Avenue, Fullerton Avenue, Belmont Avenue and Armitage Avenue, represent the retail and business support areas for residential neighborhoods which surround and fall between the corridors. The commercial businesses, particularly the retail businesses, within these corridors reflect the diversity of the neighborhood populations which they serve.
Land-use in the Project Area is extremely diverse, reflecting the organic growth of the area over time (see Figure B and Table P-l). Most blocks are characterized by a mix of uses, including combinations of retail, office, light industry, and residential uses. Residential uses occur both in single- and multi-family buildings, as well as in apartments above commercial uses. Other blocks contain only commercial or institutional uses. Three (3) schools are included in the Project Area: Darwin School (3116 West Belden Avenue), Funston School (2010 North Central Park Avenue) and Chase School (2021 North Point Street) (see Figure C). There are no Chicago Park District parks in the Project Area.

The Project Area is characterized by excellent accessibility. The Kennedy Expressway is approximately one-half {V2) mile to the east of the Project Area and numerous major arterial streets traverse the area, including Belmont Avenue, Diversey Avenue, Fullerton Avenue and Armitage Avenue in an east/west direction, and Kimball Avenue, California Avenue and Western Avenue in the north/south direction. Numerous bus lines run through the Project Area, including Number 77, Number 76, Number 74 and Number 73 along the major east/west arterial streets, and Number 82, Number 52, and Number 49 along the north/south streets. The Blue Line of the C.T. A.'s elevated train system also serves the Project Area, including stops at Western and Milwaukee Avenues, at California and Milwaukee Avenues and at Logan Square.
Despite this advantageous and well-connected location, the Project Area has become blighted, and is characterized by underutilized or vacant commercial property. As Section VII, Findings of Need for Tax Increment Financing, and the Eligibility Study in the Appendix demonstrate, the Project Area has not been subject to appropriate growth and development through investment by private enterprise, and is not reasonably expected to be developed without the direct intervention and leadership of the City. The City believes that tax increment financing will be of substantial benefit. Tax increment financing will induce private investment that will arrest and reverse the blighting conditions which currently exist.
Tax Increment Financing.
Tax increment financing is permitted in Illinois under the Act. Only areas which meet certain specifications outlined in the Act are eligible to use this financing

mechanism. This document has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Act and can be used as a guide for public and private development in the Project Area. In addition to describing the redevelopment objectives, the Redevelopment Plan sets forth the overall program to be undertaken to achieve these objectives.
The Act permits municipalities to use tax increment financing to improve eligible "blighted" or "conservation" areas in accordance with an adopted redevelopment plan over a period not to exceed twenty-three (23) years. The municipal cost of certain public improvements and programs can be paid with the revenues generated by increased equalized assessed values of private taxable real estate within a designated project area ("incremental property taxes"). The key to this financing tool is that it allows for the public to make capital investments that are repaid by property taxes from private development investment induced by those public capital investments. Incremental property taxes are taken from the increase in equalized assessed valuation (principally from new private development) generated within the designated project area during the limited term of the redevelopment project. Thus, the project can pay for itself without the need for additional taxes to be levied city-wide, outside the boundaries of the particular project area.
The successful implementation of the Redevelopment Plan requires that the City take full advantage of the real estate tax increment attributed to the Project Area as provided for by the Act. The Project Area would not reasonably be developed and improved without the use of such incremental revenues.
Public and private reinvestment is possible only if Tax Increment Financing ("T.I.F.") is used as authorized by the Act. The revenue generated by the development activity will play a major and decisive role in encouraging private development. Through this Redevelopment Plan, the City will serve as a catalyst for assembling the assets and energies of the private sector in a unified, cooperative public-private redevelopment effort. Implementation of the Redevelopment Plan and Redevelopment Project (as defined below) will benefit the City, its residents, and all taxing districts in the form of improved economic well-being and the improvement
of the community living, working, and learning environment.
i
The Redevelopment Plan.
t
As evidenced in Redevelopment Plan Section VII, "Findings of Need of Tax Increment Financing", the Project Area as a whole has not been subject to growth and development through private investment. Furthermore, it is not reasonable to expect that the Project Area as a whole will be redeveloped without the use of T.I.F.

JOURNAL-CITY COUNCIL-CHICAGO 5/11/2005
The Redevelopment Plan has been formulated in accordance with the provisions of the Act and is intended to guide improvements and activities within the Project Area in order to stimulate private investment in the Project Area. The goal of the City, through implementation of this Redevelopment Plan, is that the entire Project Area be revitalized through a coordinated public and private enterprise effort of reinvestment, rehabilitation, and redevelopment of uses compatible with a strong, stable neighborhood, and that such revitalization occurs:
— on a coordinated, rather than piecemeal basis) to ensure that land-use, access and circulation, parking, public services and urban design are functionally integrated and meet present-day principles and standards; and
on a reasonable, comprehensive and integrated basis to ensure that the factors leading to blight are eliminated; and
within a reasonable and defined time period so that the Project Area may contribute productively to the economic vitality of the City.
• This Redevelopment Plan specifically describes the Project Area and summarizes the factors which qualify the Project Area as a "conservation area" as defined in the : Act.
The success of this redevelopment effort will depend on cooperation between the public and private sectors. By means of public investment, the Project Area will become a stable environment for area-wide redevelopment by the private sector. The City will serve as the central force for directing the assets and energies of the private sector to ensure a unified and cooperative public-private redevelopment effort.
This Redevelopment Plan sets forth the overall "Redevelopment Project" to be undertaken to accomplish the City's above-stated goal. During implementation of the Redevelopment Project, the City may, from time to time: (i) undertake or cause to be undertaken public improvements and activities; and (ii) enter into redevelopment agreements or intergovernmental agreements with private entities or public entities, respectively, in order to construct, rehabilitate, renovate or restore private or public improvements on one or several parcels (collectively referred to as
"Redevelopment Projects"). !
•a
Successful implementation of this Redevelopment Plan requires that the City utilize incremental property taxes and other resources in accordance with the Act to stimulate the comprehensive and coordinated development of the Project Area.
 
5/11/2005 REPORTS OF COMMITTEES 47341
Only through the utilization of T.I.F. will the Project Area develop on a comprehensive and coordinated basis, thereby eliminating the existing and threatened conditions which may lead to blight and which have precluded development of the Project Area by the private sector.
The use of incremental property taxes will permit the City to direct, implement, and coordinate public improvements and activities to stimulate private investment within the Project Area. These improvements, activities, and investments will benefit the City, its residents, and all! taxing districts having jurisdiction over the Project Area. These benefits are anticipated to include:
A strengthening of the economic vitality of the community, arising from new residential and nonresidential development.
An increase in construction and long-term employment opportunities for residents of the Project Area and the City.
The replacement of unsightly uses, blight, and vacated properties with viable, high-quality developments.
The elimination of numerous physical impediments within the Project Area on a coordinated and timely basis so as to minimize costs and promote comprehensive, area-wide redevelopment. \
The construction of public improvements which may include new road surfaces, utilities, sewers, water lines, sidewalks, streetlights, landscaping, etc., intended to make the Project Area more attractive to investment.
The provision of job training services to community members which make the Project Area more attractive to investors and employers.
The creation of opportunities for women and minority businesses to share in the redevelopment of the Project Area.

Eligibility Of The. Proposed T.I.F. District.
Original Project Area Eligibility.
During July and August, 1999, a study was undertaken, consistent with the Act and related procedural guidelines, to determine the eligibility of the proposed T.I.F. district. The results of the study indicated that the Original Project Area met the Act's requirements for a "conservation area", and was eligible to be designated by the City Council of the City as a "Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment Project Area". The detailed findings of this study are described in Appendix A of this report.
In 1999, the Original Project Area qualified as a conservation area under the Act based on the predominance> and extent of parcels exhibiting the following characteristics:
Age. _"
Deterioration of buildings and surface improvements.
Depreciation of physical maintenance.
Obsolescence.
Presence of structures below minimum code standards. Excessive vacancies. Lack of community planning.
Each of these factors contributed to the eligibility of the Original Project Area as a conservation area.
Amendment Area Eligibility.
In October 2004, a study of the Amendment Area was undertaken, consistent with the most recent amendments to the Act and related procedural guidelines, to determine the eligibility of the Amendment Area. The results of the study indicated that the Amendment Area met the Act's requirements for a "conservation area", and was eligible to be amended to the Original Project Area designated by the City

Future Land-Use And Redevelopment Activities.
Future Land-Use.
The following land uses are anticipated within the Project Area (see Figure D):
Mixed-Use: This category is reflective of the existing mixed-use nature of the four (4) primary corridors in the Project Area. Currently, these corridors are characterized by a diverse mix of residential, retail, office and institutional uses, which occur on the same block and often within the same building. The intention of the Mixed-Use designation is to strengthen the mix of uses that already exists, by encouraging appropriate redevelopment and building re-use of underutilized buildings and properties, compatible with the current mix of uses. Generally, multi-family residential uses (including apartments or condominiums above other ground-floor uses), retail, service, office and institutional uses are appropriate. Industrial uses are not encouraged.
Public/Institutional: Institutional uses include schools, government buildings and private or not-for-profit institutions.
Redevelopment Activities. s
The redevelopment of the Project Area will be driven by private reinvestment induced through public assistance and support. In the absence of assistance from the City as provided by the Redevelopment Plan, the private sector is not expected to pursue these opportunities.
Many sites throughout the Project Area may be appropriate for rehabilitation activities. Rehabilitation may involve facade improvements and repairs, as well as improvements to the interior of buildings which are structurally sound but require work to address appearance or safety issues. Other sites may be appropriate for redevelopment. Such sites may include vacant properties, or properties which contain buildings in extremely poor physical condition or with deleterious uses. Redevelopment of these sites will spur other redevelopment and rehabilitation projects throughout the Project Area.
In addition, public improvements will increase the functionality, appearance and viability of the Project Area as a strong commercial corridor. Recommended public improvements in the Project Area primarily include streetscape elements along Milwaukee, Fullerton, Belmont and Armitage Avenues such as street trees, lighting,
 
5/11/2005
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES

street paving and street furniture. Streetscape elements should respect and celebrate the ethnic diversity and individual character of each of the commercial corridors that make up the Project Area. In addition, special gateway treatments would be appropriate at locations that maximize the impact and recognition of important corridor entrances. Traffic signalization improvements may be undertaken at those same intersections.
VI.
Redevelopment Project.
This section describes the public and private improvements and activities anticipated to be made and undertaken to implement the Redevelopment Plan.
Purpose Of The Redevelopment Plan.
The Act defines the Redevelopment Plan as: "... the comprehensive program of the municipality for development or redevelopment intended by the payment of redevelopment project costs to reduce or eliminate those conditions the existence of which qualified the redevelopment project area as a 'blighted area' or 'conservation area' or combination thereof or 'industrial park conservation area', and thereby to enhance the tax bases of the taxing districts which extend into the redevelopment project area" (65 ILCS 5/1 l-74.4-3(n),. as amended).
Further, the Act states that for such areas, "It is hereby found and declared that in order to promote and protect the health, safety, morals and welfare of the public, that blighted conditions need to be eradicated and conservation measures instituted, and that redevelopment of such areas be undertaken; that to remove and alleviate adverse conditions it is necessary to encourage private investment and restore and enhance the tax base of the taxing districts in such areas by the development or redevelopment of project areas. The eradication of blighted areas and treatment and improvement of conservation areas and industrial park conservation areas by redevelopment projects is hereby declared to be essential to the public interest" (65 ILCS 5/1 l-74.4-2(b), as amended).
The Future Land-Use Plan in Figure D illustrates proposed land uses. Ultimately, the Redevelopment Plan should help to better integrate the Project Area with adjacent uses, becoming an asset to the community and reversing decay.

Eligible Redevelopment Project Costs.
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 of the approval of this Plan by the City Council of Chicago to (a) include new eligible redevelopment project costs, or (b) expand the scope or increase the amount of existing eligible redevelopment project costs (such as, for example, by increasing the amount of incurred interest costs that may be paid under 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-3(q)(ll)), 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 P-3 or otherwise adjust the line items in Table P-3 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. '

If a special service area has been established pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Act, 35 ILCS 235/0.01, et seq., then any tax increment revenues derived from the tax imposed pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Act may be used within the redevelopment project area for the purposes permitted by the Special Service Area Tax Act as well as the purposes permitted by the Act.
Property Assembly.
To meet the goals and objectives of this Redevelopment Plan, the City previously sought authority to acquire and assemble property throughout the Project Area. Land assemblage by the City may be by purchase, exchange, donation, lease,
 
47352
JOURNAL-CITY COUNCIL-CHICAGO        5/11/2005
eminent domain or through the Tax Reactivation Program or other programs and may be for the purpose of (a) sale, lease or conveyance to private developers, or (b) sales, 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.
Figure E, Land Acquisition Overview Map, indicates the parcels for which the City previously had authorization to acquire for redevelopment in the Project Area and will now seek an extension of this authorization. Figure F contains Figures Fl through F6: Land Acquisition by Block and Parcel Identification Number which portrays the acquisition properties in more detail.
Figure E, Land Acquisition Overview Map, and Figure F, Land Acquisition by Block and Parcel Identification Number, identify parcels for which the City had been granted acquisition authority by the Original Redevelopment Plan., At that time, the potential acquisition of these properties was sought to further the goals of this Redevelopment Plan. This acquisition authority has since expired and the City does not propose to renew such authority at this time.
In connection. with the City exercising its power to acquire real property, including the exercise of the power of eminent domain, under the Act in implementing the Redevelopment Plan, the City will follow its customary procedures of having each such acquisition recommended by the Community Development Commission (or any successor commission) and authorized by the City Council of the City. Acquisition of such real property as may be authorized by the City Council does not constitute a change in the nature of this Redevelopment Plan.
The Armitage/California/St. Louis Redevelopment Plan established boundaries for the Armitage/California/St. Louis Redevelopment Area (also known as the Central West Redevelopment Area). That Redevelopment Area consists of properties facing West Armitage Avenue between North St. Louis Avenue and North Point Street, along the west side of North California Avenue from West Armitage Avenue to West Dickens Avenue, and along the east side of North California Avenue from West Armitage Avenue to North Milwaukee Avenue. Figure G illustrates those properties identified for acquisition within the previously adopted underlying Armitage/ California/ St. Louis Redevelopment Area boundaries. Appendix C lists those parcels by parcel number, which are shown in Figure C and fall within the Project Area.
The Armitage/California/St. Louis Redevelopment Area and subsequent amendments established City authority to acquire and assemble property. Such
 
5/11 /2005 REPORTS OF COMMITTEES 47353
acquisition and assembly under that authority is consistent with this T.I.F. Redevelopment Plan. Nothing in this Redevelopment Plan shall be deemed to limit or adversely affect the authority of the City under the Armitage/California/St. Louis Redevelopment Area to acquire and assemble property. Accordingly, incremental property taxes from the Project Area may be used to fund the acquisition and assembly of property by the City under the authority of the Armitage/California/St. Louis Redevelopment Plan within the Fullerton/Milwaukee Project Area.
As appropriate, the City may devote acquired property to temporary uses until such property is scheduled for disposition and redevelopment.
For properties described on Figure E, Acquisition, the acquisition of occupied properties by the City was required to commence within four (4) years from the date of the publication of the ordinance approving the Redevelopment Plan. Acquisition shall be deemed to have commenced with the sending of an offer letter. As this four (4) year period has expired, the City may only acquire such property pursuant to this Redevelopment Plan under the Act according to its customary procedures. . .
Relocation assistance may be provided in order to facilitate redevelopment of portions of the Project Area and to meet other City objectives. Businesses or households legally occupying properties to be acquired by the City may be provided with relocation advisory and financial assistance as determined by the City.
Property Disposition.
Property to be acquired by the City as part of the Redevelopment Project may be assembled' into appropriate redevelopment sites. As part of the redevelopment process the City may: (i) sell, lease or convey such property for private redevelopment; or (ii) sell, lease or dedicate such property for construction of public improvements or facilities. Terms of conveyance shall be incorporated into appropriate disposition agreements, and may include more specific restrictions than contained in the Redevelopment Plan or in other municipal codes and ordinances governing the use of land or the construction of improvements.
Rehabilitation Of Existing Public Or Private Structures.
The City of Chicago may provide assistance to encourage rehabilitation of existing public or private structures which will remove conditions which
 
47354
JOURNAL—CITY COUNCIL-CHICAGO

contribute to-the decline of the character and value of the district. Appropriate assistance may include, but is not limited to:
r—  Financial support to private property owners for the restoration and enhancement of existing structures within the Project Area.
—  Improvements to the facade or rehabilitation of public or private buildings.
Public Improvements.
The City of Chicago may install public improvements to enhance the Project Area as a whole, to support the Redevelopment Project Plan and to serve the needs of Project Area residents. Appropriate public improvements may include, but are not limited to:
— vacation, removal, resurfacing, widening, reconstruction, construction, and other improvements to streets, alleys, pedestrian ways and pathways;
— installation of traffic improvements, viaduct improvements, street lighting and other safety and accessibility improvements;
— development of parks, playgrounds, plazas and places for public leisure and recreation;
— construction of public off-street parking facilities;
— installation, reconstruction, improvement or burial of public or private utilities;
— construction of public buildings;
— beautification, lighting and signage of public properties;
— maintenance of rights-of-way in privately owned properties;
— demolition of obsolete or hazardous structures;
— improvements to publicly owned land or buildings to be sold or leased.
Recommended public improvements in the Project Area are listed in Section V, Future Land-Use and Redevelopment Activities.
 
5/11/2005
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
47355
The City may determine at a later date that certain listed improvements are no longer needed or appropriate and may remove them from the list, or may add new improvements to the list.
Capital Costs Of Taxing Districts.
The City may reimburse all or a portion of the costs incurred by certain taxing districts in the furtherance of the objectives of this Redevelopment Plan.
Relocation.
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 insure 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 fifty percent (50%) but less than eighty percent (80%) 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 ("H.U.D.") for purposes of Section 8 of the 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 fifty percent (50%) of the median income of the area of residence, adjusted for family size, as so determined by H.U.D.; 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 thirty percent (30%)' of the maximum allowable income for such households, as applicable.

Sources Of Funds.
The Act provides methods by which municipalities can finance eligible redevelopment project costs with incremental real estate tax revenues. Incremental tax revenue is derived from the increase in the current equalized assessed valuation ("E.A.V.") of real property within the Project Area over and above the certified initial E.A.V. of the real property. Any increase in E.A.V. is then multiplied by the current tax rate, resulting in a tax increment revenue. A decline in current EA.V. does not result in a negative real estate tax increment.

Notes:
3. The total Estimated Redevelopment Project Costs provides an upper limit on expenditures and adjustments may be made in line items without amendment to this Redevelopment Plan.
4. Total Redevelopment Project Costs 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.
5. 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 incremental

6. Increases in estimated Total Redevelopment Project Costs of more than five percent (5%) after adjustment for inflation from the date of the Plan adoption, are subject to the Plan amendment procedures as provided under the Act.

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, federal, state, county or local grants, investment income, private financing and other legally permissible funds the City may deem appropriate. The City may incur redevelopment project costs which are paid for from funds of the City other than incremental taxes, and the City may then be reimbursed from such costs from incremental taxes. Also, the City may permit the utilization of guarantees, deposits and other forms of security made available by private sector developers. Additionally, the City may utilize revenues, other than state sales tax increment revenues, received under the Act from one redevelopment project area for eligible costs in another redevelopment project area that is either contiguous to, or is separated only by a public right-of-way from, the redevelopment project area from which the revenues are received.
The Project Area may be contiguous to, or separated only by 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 other project areas separated only by a public right-of-way, and vice versa. The amount of revenue from the Project Area made available to support such contiguous redevelopment project areas, or those separated only by a public right-of-way, when added to all amounts used to pay eligible redevelopment project costs within the Project Area, shall not at any time exceed the total Redevelopment Project Costs described in this Redevelopment Plan.
The Project Area may become contiguous to, or be separated only by a public right-of-way from, redevelopment project areas created under the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law, 65 ILCS 5/11-74.6-1, et seq., as amended. 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 in furtherance of the purposes of the Redevelopment Plan that net revenues from the Project Area be made available to support any such redevelopment project areas, and vice versa. The City therefore proposes to utilize net incremental revenues received from the Project Area to pay eligible redevelopment project costs (which are eligible under the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law referred to above) in any such areas, and vice versa. Such revenues may be transferred or loaned between the Project Area and such areas. The amount of revenue from the Project Area so made available, when added to all amounts.used to pay eligible redevelopment project costs within the Project Area or other areas

as described in the preceding paragraph, shall not at any time exceed the total Redevelopment Project Costs described in Table P-2 of this Redevelopment Plan.
In the event that adequate funds are not available as anticipated from aforementioned sources, the City may utilize its taxing power to sustain the Redevelopment Project or repay obligations issued in connection therewith, to be reimbursed over time, if possible, from tax increment revenues.
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 (23rd) calendar year following the year in which the ordinance approving the Project Area was originally adopted, by December 31, 2024. Also, the final maturity date of any such, obligations which are issued may not be later than twenty (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.
One (1) or more issues of obligations may be sold at one (1) or more times in order to implement the Redevelopment Plan, as amended, and as it may be amended in the future. Obligations may be issued on a parity or subordinated basis.
The City may, by ordinance, in addition to obligations secured by the tax

Equalized Assessed Valuation.
The purpose of identifying the most recent equalized assessed valuation ("E.A.V.") of the Project Area is to provide an estimate of the initial E.A.V., which the Cook County Clerk will certify for the purpose of annually calculating the incremental E.A.V. and incremental property taxes of the Project Area. The most recent (1998) equalized assessed valuation ("E.A.V.") of all the taxable parcels in the Original Project Area is approximately Seventy-two Million One Hundred Thirty-seven Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-nine Dollars ($72,137,399). This total E.A.V. amount, by Permanent Index Number, is summarized in Appendix D, Part 1. This E.A.V. is based on 1998 E.A.V. figures collected by T.A.I, and is subject to verification by the County Clerk. After verification, the final figure shall be certified by the County Clerk of Cook County, Illinois. This certified amount shall become the Certified Initial E.A.V. from which all incremental properly taxes in the Project Area will be calculated by the County.
The most recent (2003) E.A.V. of the Amendment Area is Fifteen Million Two Hundred Fifty-one Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty-one Dollars ($15,251,781). This total E.A.V. amount for the Amendment Area,1 by Permanent Index Number, is summarized in Appendix D, Part 2. The Amendment Area E.A.V. is based on 2003 E.A.V. figures collected by T.A.I, and is subject to verification by the County Clerk. After verification, the final figure shall be certified by the County Clerk of Cook County, Illinois and shall become the Certified Initial E.A.V. for the Amendment Area from which incremental property taxes for the Amendment Area will be calculated.
Upon completion of anticipated private development of the Project Area, it is anticipated that the equalized assessed valuation will be approximately Two Hundred Fifteen Million-Dollars ($215,000,000). The calculation assumes that assessments appreciate at a rate of thirty percent (30%) per year.  Other new

projects, rehabilitation of existing buildings and appreciation of real estate values may result in substantial additional increases in equalized assessed valuation.
VII.
Findings Of Need For Tax Increment Financing.
Pursuant to the Act, T.A.I, makes the following findings:
Project Area Not Subject To Growth.
Although the City and its surrounding regional area, as a whole, have evidenced growth, the Project Area has not been subject to appropriate growth and redevelopment through investment by private enterprise and would not reasonably be anticipated to be developed without the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan.
Amendment Area Not Subject To Growth.     ' ■ •
The Amendment Area on the whole has not been subject to appropriate growth and redevelopment through investment by private enterprise and would not reasonably be anticipated to be developed consistent with City policies without adoption of this Redevelopment Plan.
The lack of growth in the Original Project Area and the Amendment Area is evidenced by the following:
Equalized Assessed Values That Fail To -Keep Pace With The City As A Whole.
Between 1993 and 1998 the Equalized Assessed Valuation of the Original Project Areaincreased from Sixty Million Two Hundred Forty-seven Thousand Five Hundred Fifty Dollars ($60,247,550) to Seventy-two Million One Hundred Thirty-seven Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-nine Dollars ($72,137,399), an increase of nineteen and seven-tenths percent (19.7%). This increase results from improvements to a limited number (approximately five percent (5%), as described below) of properties in the Project Area and inflation. By contrast, over the same time period, the Equalized Assessed Value of the City as a whole increased from Thirty Billion Nine Hundred Fifty-two Million Three Hundred Forty-one Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety-eight Dollars ($30,952,341,898) to
 
5/11/2005 REPORTS OF COMMITTEES 47363
Thirty-seven Billion Two Hundred Eighteen Million Eight Hundred Forty Thousand Two Hundred Thirteen Dollars ($37,218,840,213), which represents an increase of twenty and two-tenths percent (20.2%). The Original Project Area has been subject to a lower rate of investment and appreciation than the City as a whole, indicating a relative lack of investment directed toward the properties in the Original Project Area.
Over the period from 1999 to 2003, the adjusted Equalized Assessed Value of the City of Chicago, not including the Amendment Area, increased from Thirty-five Billion Three Hundred Fifty-one Million One Hundred Eighty-four Thousand Six Hundred Eighty-nine Dollars ($35,351,184,689) to Fifty-three Billion One Hundred Sixty Million One Hundred Twelve Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty Dollars ($53,160,112,980), or fifty-six and six-tenths percent (56.6%). By contrast, the Equalized Assessed Value of those properties in the Amendment Area increased from Ten Million Seven Hundred Seventy-eight Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-one Dollars ($10,778,991) to Fifteen Million Two Hundred Fifty-one Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty-one Dollars ($15,251,781), or forty-three and three-tenths percent (43.3%), during the same time , period. Thus the level of investment and property appreciation within the Amendment Area is lower than the City as a whole.
Presence Of Blighting Factors.
Lack of investment is also evidenced by the widespread extent and distribution of blighting factors, including deterioration, depreciation of physical maintenance and code violations. As elaborated upon in the Eligibility Study (Appendix A), the presence of these factors to such a significant degree illustrates that appropriate private investment, particularly for maintenance and improvements to property, has not been undertaken in the Project Area.
Lack Of Building Permit Activity Representing Substantial Investment.
During the period from January 1994 to June 1999, two hundred ninety-two (292) building permits were issued in the Project Area at a total value of Eleven Million Fifty-seven Thousand Five Hundred Sixty-five Dollars ($11,057,565). Four (4) of these permits (at a value of Three Million Six Hundred Eighty-seven Thousand Dollars ($3,687,000)) were issued to schools in the Project Area and do not represent private investment. However, even the remaining two hundred, eighty-eight (288) permits (Seven Million Three Hundred Seventy Thousand Five Hundred Sixty-five Dollars ($7,370,565)) do not represent a sign of economic well-being through private investment.   Much of the building
 
47364
JOURNAL-CITY COUNCIL-CHICAGO 5/11 /2005
permit activity in the Project Area is intended to address basic maintenance and code violations. As elaborated upon in the Eligibility Study, the Project Area has been subject to an excessive amount of code violations over the past five (5) years and much of the building permit activity addresses City building code requirements.
Specifically, as depicted in Table P-3, during the period from January 1994 to June 1999, only fifty-five (55) permits (nineteen percent (19%)) were issued for the erection of new buildings or additions or for substantial interior renovations. These permits, which represent significant private investment, were issued to only fifty-one (51) properties in the Project Area (five and fourth-tenths percent (5.4%) of the nine hundred forty-six (946) parcels in the Project Area). The vast majority of the remaining permits were for general maintenance or in response to building code violations.

As Table P-3 illustrates, one third (V3) of the value of all building permit activity in the Project Area was for permits issued to schools, meaning that this
 
5/11/2005
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES

third (Vb) does not represent private investment. Of the remainder, more than sixty percent (60%) of the value of building permits occurred on a limited number of properties (fifty-one (51) properties, or five and four-tenths percent (5.4%) of the total number of parcels in the Project Area). The increase in value to properties arising from new construction, additions or substantial renovations was isolated on a small number of properties and is not uniformly distributed throughout the Project Area.
The other thirty-five and seven-tenths percent (35.7%) of the value of private investment in the Project Area is simply repairs and maintenance activities, which are unlikely to increase the value of property. In general, the building permit data suggests that private investment undertaken in the community is not as substantial, or widespread, as would be anticipated in a strong, stable portion of the City.
VIII.
. Financial Impact Of Redevelopment.
Without the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan and Project, the Project Area is not reasonably expected to be redeveloped by private enterprise. In the absence of City-sponsored redevelopment, there is a prospect that blighting factors will continue to exist and spread and the Project Area on the whole and adjacent properties will become less attractive for the maintenance and improvement of existing buildings and sites. Erosion of the assessed valuation of property in and outside of the Project Area could lead to a reduction of real estate tax revenue to all taxing districts.
Implementation of the Redevelopment Project is expected to have significant short and long term positive financial impacts on the taxing districts affected by this Redevelopment Plan. In the short term, the City's effective use of tax increment financing can be expected to stabilize existing assessed values in the Project Area, thereby stabilizing the existing tax base for local taxing agencies. In the long term, after the completion of all redevelopment improvements and activities, the completion of Redevelopment Projects and the payment of all Redevelopment Project Costs and municipal obligations, the taxing districts will benefit from any enhanced tax base which results from the increase in E.A.V. caused by the Redevelopment Project.
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
 
47366
JOURNAL-CITY COUNCIL-CHICAGO
5/11/2005
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.
Demand on Taxing District Services.
The following taxing districts presently levy taxes against properties located within the Project Area:
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. This district provides the main trunk lines for the collection of waste water from cities, villages and towns, and for the treatment and disposal thereof.
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, et cetera.
Board Of Education Of The City Of Chicago And Associated Agencies. General responsibilities of the Board of Education include the provision, maintenance and operations of educational facilities and the provision of educational services for kindergarten through twelfth (12th) grade.
Chicago Community College District Number 508. This district is a unit of the State of Illinois' system of public community colleges, whose objective is to meet the educational needs of residents of the City and other students seeking higher education programs and services.
Chicago 1 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.
The replacement of vacant and underutilized property with non-residential or residential development may cause increased demand for services and/or capital

improvements to be provided by Cook County, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, the City of Chicago, the Board of Education of the City of Chicago, Chicago Community College District Number 508 and the Chicago Park District. The estimated nature of these increased demands for services on these taxing districts, and the activities to address increased demand, are described below.
Cook County. The replacement of vacant and underutilized property with non-residential or residential development may cause increased demand for the services and programs provided by the County. Because many new residents in the Project Area are likely to relocate from other portions of the County, the increase in demand is not anticipated to be significant. A portion of Redevelopment Project Costs may be allocated to assist in the provision of such increased services, as provided in the Act and in this Redevelopment Plan.
Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Of Greater Chicago. The replacement of vacant and underutilized property with new development may cause increased demand for the services and/or capital improvements provided by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. As it is expected that any increase in demand for treatment and sanitary and storm sewage associated with the Project Area will be minimal, no assistance is proposed for the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. ,
City Of Chicago. The replacement of vacant and underutilized property with new development may cause increased demand for the services and programs provided by the City, including police protection, fire protection, sanitary collection, recycling, et cetera. Such increases in demand may be significant. A portion of Redevelopment Project Costs may be allocated to assist in the provision of such increased services, as provided in the Act and in this Redevelopment Plan. ' r-
Board Of Education Of The City Of Chicago And Associated Agencies. The replacement of vacant and underutilized properties with mixed-use development may result in additional school-aged children in the Project Area, and may affect the demand for educational services and/or capital improvements to be provided by the Board of Education. The increased number of students may be significant. The City will work with the Board of Education and its associate agencies to address any increase that does arise.
Chicago Community College District Number 508. .The replacement of vacant and underutilized properties with mixed-use development may result in an increase in population within the Project Area. Therefore, demand for educational services and programs provided by the community college district may increase, although this change is not anticipated to be significant. The City
 
47368
JOURNAL-CITY COUNeiL--CHICAGQ
5/11/2005
will work with the Community College District Number 508 to address any increase that does arise.
Chicago Park District. The replacement of underutilized propertieswith nonresidential and residential development may increase the population within the Project Area, so that demand for.recreational services and programs provided by the park District may increase., Although this increase is not expected to be significant, the City will work with the Chicago Park District to address, any increase that does arise.
This proposed program to address increased demand, for services 'or capital improvements provided by some or all of the impacted taxing districts is contingent upon: (i) the Redevelopment Project occurring as anticipated in the Redevelopment Plan, (ii) the.Redevelopment Project resulting in demand for services sufficient to warrant the allocation of Redevelopment Project Costs, arid (iii) the generation of sufficient incremental property taxes to pay for the Redevelopment Project C^sts listed above. In the event that the Redevelopment Project fails to materialize, or involves a different scale of development than that currently anticipated, the City may revise? this proposed program to address increased demand, to the extent permitted by the Act, without amending this Redevelopment Plan. .

Implementation Schedule.
A phased implementation strategy will be utilized to achieve comprehensive and coordinated redevelopment of the Project Area. It is anticipated that City-expenditures for Redevelopment Project Costs will be carefully staged on a reasonable and proportional basis to coincide with Redevelopment Project expenditures by private developers and the receipt of incremental properly taxes by the City. The estimated date for completion of Redevelopment Projects is no later than December 31, 2023.
Provision For Amending The Redevelopment Plan. The Redevelopment Plan may be amended pursuant to provisions of the Act. ■
Affirmative Action And Fair Employment Practices.
. The City is committed to and will affirmatively implement the following' principles with respect to this Redevelopment Plan:
1. The assurance of equal opportunity in all personnel and employment actions, with respect to the Redevelopment Project, including, but not limited to: hiring, training, transfer, promotion, discipline, fringe benefits, salary, employment working conditions, termination, et cetera, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, military discharge status, source of income or housing status.
2. Redevelopers will meet City of Chicago's standards for participation of Minority Business Enterprises and Woman Business Enterprises and the City Resident Construction Worker Employment Requirement as required in redevelopment agreements.
3. This commitment to affirmative action and nondiscrimination will ensure that all members of the protected groups are sought out to compete for all job openings and promotional opportunities.
4. Redevelopers will meet City standards for any applicable prevailing wage rate as ascertained by the Illinois Department of Labor to all project employees.
In order to implement these principles, the City shall require and promote equal employment practices and affirmative action on the part of itself and its contractors
 
47370
JOURNAL-CITY COUNCIL-CHICAGO
5/11/2005
and vendors. In particular, parties engaged by the City shall be required to agree to the principles set forth in this section.
With respect to the public/private development's internal operations, both entities will pursue employment practices which provide equal opportunity to all people regardless of gender, color, race or creed, et cetera. Neither party will countenance discrimination against any employee or applicant because of gender, marital status, national origin, age or the presence of physical handicaps. These nondiscriminatory practices will apply to all areas of employment, including hiring, upgrading and promotions, terminations, compensation, benefit programs and educational opportunities.
Anyone involved with employment or contracting activities for this Redevelopment Plan and Project will be responsible for conformance with this policy and the compliance requirements of applicable city, state and federal laws and regulations.
The City and the private developers involved in the implementation of the Redevelopment Plan and Project will adopt a policy of equal employment opportunity and will include or require the inclusion of this statement in all Contracts and subcontracts at any level for the project being undertaken in the Project Area. Any public/private partnership established for the development project in the Project Area will seek to ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation and coercion at all sites and facilities at which employees are assigned to work. It shall be specifically ensured that all on-site supervisory.personnel are aware of and carry out the obligation to maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority and/or female individuals. The partnership will utilize affirmative action to ensure that business opportunities are provided and that job applicants are employed and treated in a nondiscriminatory manner.
The City shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to exempt certain small business, residential property owners and developers from the above.
Affordable Housing.
The City requires that developers who receive T.I.F. assistance for market rate housing set aside twenty percent (20%) of the units to meet affordability criteria established by the City's Department of Housing 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 one hundred percent (100%) of the area median income and affordable rental units_ should be affordable to persons earning no more than sixty percent (60%) of the area median income.
 
5/11/2005

Environmental Standards.
The City requires that developers who recejve T.I.F. assistance must comply with the City of Chicago environmental standards as per Department of Planning and Development policy.
Intergovernmental Agreements 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 public improvements on one (1) or several parcels (collectively referred to as "Redevelopment Projects").
Housing Impact.
As set forth in the Act, if the redevelopment plan for a redevelopment project area would result in the displacement of residents from ten (10) or more inhabited residential units, or if the redevelopment project area contains seventy-five (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 one thousand four hundred thirty-four (1,434) 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 ten (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 T.A.I., is entitled "Fullerton/Milwaukee Redevelopment Plan and Project Housing Impact Study", and is attached as Appendix E to this Plan.

Amendment Number 1.
October 25, 1999.
December 30, 2004 Amendment.
Introduction.
The Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, 65 ILCS 5/11- 74.4-1, et seq., as amended (the "Act"), stipulates specific procedures which must be adhered to in designating a Project Area. A Redevelopment Project Area is defined as:
"... an area designated by the municipality, which is not less in the aggregate than 1 '/a 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 a combination of both blighted areas and conservation areas" (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-3(p)).
Section 5/11-74.4-3(a) defines a "conservation area" as:
"... 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 37 years or more. Such an area is not

yet a blighted area, but because of a combination of three or more of the following factors: dilapidation; obsolescence; deterioration, illegal use of individual structures; presence of structures below minimum code standards; abandonment; excessive vacancies; overcrowding of structures and community facilities; lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary facilities; inadequate utilities; excessive land coverage; deleterious land use or layout; depreciation of physical maintenance; lack of community planning; is detrimental to the public safety, health, morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area".
Determination of eligibility of the Fullerton/Milwaukee Redevelopment Project Area (the "Study Area") for tax increment financing is based on a comparison of data gathered through field observation, document and archival research, and information provided by Cook County and the City of Chicago (the "City") against the eligibility criteria set forth in the Act. The eligibility criteria identified as part of the Act are the basis for the evaluation, which incorporates the definitions prepared by the Illinois Department of Revenue in its 1988 T.I.F. Guide, as revised April 6, 1989.
This report summarizes the analyses and findings of the consultants' work, which is the responsibility of T.A.I T.A.I, has prepared this report with the understanding that the City would rely on: (i) the findings and conclusions of this report in proceeding with the designation of the Study Area as a Redevelopment Project Area under the Act; and (ii) the fact that T.A.I, has obtained the necessary information to conclude that the Study Area can be designated as a Redevelopment Project Area in compliance with the Act.
The Original Project Area was eligible for designation as a "conservation area" based on the predominance and extent of parcels exhibiting the following characteristics: age, deterioration of buildings and surface improvements, depreciation of physical maintenance, obsolescence, presence of structures below minimum code standards, excessive vacancies, and lack of community planning. Under the Act, at least fifty percent (50%) of the buildings in the Project Area must be thirty-five (35) years of age or more, and three (3) of fourteen (14) listed conservation area factors must be present in and reasonably distributed throughout the Project Area for it to be considered a conservation area. The Project Area is characterized by four (4) of the factors to a major extent and three (3) of the factors to a minor extent. These factors are distributed throughout the Project Area.
Description Of The Original Project Area. :
The Original Project Area is located approximately five (5) miles northwest of the central business district of Chicago.   The Original Project Area encompasses portions of three (3) major corridors: West Armitage Avenue from North Ridgeway \ Avenue to North Milwaukee Avenue, West Fullerton Avenue from North Kimball
 
47374
JOURNAL-CITY COUNCIL-CHICAGO
5/11/2005
Avenue to North Francisco Avenue and Milwaukee Avenue from West Armitage Avenue to West School Avenue.
The boundaries of the Original Project Area have been carefully established to include those properties that will gain an immediate and substantial benefit from the Redevelopment Plan. The Original Project Area contains seven hundred fifty-five (755) buildings and nine hundred forty-six (946) parcels, and consists of approximately two hundred twenty-six (226) acres within ninety-one (91) legal blocks or portions thereof. Figure 1 delineates the precise boundaries of the Original Project Area.
Original Eligibility Findings.
T.A.L, in association with Mann Gin Dubin and Frazier, conducted a field survey of the subject properties in July and August, 1999. Based on an inspection of the improvements and grounds, field notes were taken which recorded the condition of the parcel. Photographs further document the observed conditions. Additional research was conducted at the Cook County Treasurer's Office and the City Building Department.
For the purposes of this study, a factor is considered to be "major" if the factor occurred on a relatively large number of properties, buildings or blocks. Alternatively, a factor which affects a relatively smaller proportion of properties may also be major, if the effects of the factor are highly visible, and exert a significant depressing or blighting effect upon neighboring properties and the entire Project Area. "Minor" factors, while affecting fewer properties than major factors, also exert a negative effect on the Project Area. Overall, the combination of major and minor blighting factors contributes to a blighted appearance and inhibits investment in the Project Area.
For each factor that contributes to the designation of the Original Project Area, a map has been prepared that illustrates the distribution of the factor. The maps represent the blocks in which the consultant team perceives the characteristic to be present to the degree that it represents a significant influence on the character, vitality, and value of properties. In many cases, the majority of parcels in a block exhibit a given characteristic, but in no case are less than fifteen percent (15%) of the parcels characterized by the factor in question. Recognizing that it is not necessary for every parcel in a block to exhibit a factor in order for that factor to be significant, the fifteen percent (15%) level represents a threshold at which it is likely that a parcel is not more than two (2) properties away from a parcel which exhibits the characteristic and the factor is perceivable as significant to the extent that the effects of that factor become noticeable and may affect investment decisions.

Age Of Buildings.
The characteristic of 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 or improvements 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 well suited for modern-day uses because of contemporary space and development standards.
Based on the observed style and construction methods of the buildings within the Project Area, ,six hundred thirty-eight (638) of seven hundred fifty-five (755) buildings (eighty-five percent (85%)) are more than thirty-five (35) years old. Age is also widely distributed throughout the area. At least one building characterized by age can be found on eighty-four (84) of ninety-one (91) blocks (ninety-two percent (92%)), and at least half ('/a) the buildings are characterized by age on seventy-seven (77) blocks (eighty-five percent (85%)). Figure 2 illustrates the eighty-four (84) of ninety-one (91) blocks on which at least fifteen percent (15%) of the buildings are more than thirty-five (35) years of age. As required, more than fifty percent (50%) of the structures within the Project Area are more than thirty-five (35) years of age. Age is therefore a major contributing factor in the designation of the Project Area as a conservation area.
Dilapidation.
Dilapidation refers to an advanced state of disrepair of buildings or improvements or the neglect of necessary repairs, causing the building or improvement to fall into a state of decay. At a minimum, dilapidated buildings should be those with critical defects in primary structural components (roof, bearing walls, floor structure and foundation), building systems (heating, ventilation, lighting and plumbing), and secondary structural components in such combination and extent that: (i) major repair is required or; (ii) the defects are so serious and extensive that the buildings must be removed.
The exterior survey conducted by T.A.I, did not find any structures which are characterized by this extreme physical state. Dilapidation is not a contributing factor toward the designation as a conservation area.
Deterioration.
Deterioration refers to physical deficiencies or disrepair in buildings or site improvements requiring treatment or repair.
 
47376
JOURNAL—CITY COUNCIL-CHICAGO
5/11/2005
Deterioration Of Buildings.
Buildings in a state of deterioration exhibit defects which are not easily correctable in the course of normal maintenance. Such buildings may be classified as deteriorating or in an advanced stage of deterioration, depending upon the degree or extent of defects. This would include buildings with major defects in the secondary building components (e.g., doors, windows, porches, gutters and downspouts, fascia materials, et cetera), and major defects in primary building components (e.g., foundations, frames, roofs, et cetera), respectively.
Deterioration occurs in one hundred thirty-five (135) of seven hundred fifty-five (755) buildings (eighteen percent (18%)) in the Project Area, meaning that one (1) in five (5) buildings contain defects that cannot be corrected with normal maintenance. Such buildings create a visible environment of deterioration throughout the Project Area, causing owners of other nearby properties to be less inclined to invest in their own buildings. Thus, the effects of deterioration can become magnified beyond those buildings identified in the eligibility survey. This effect is widespread throughout the Project Area; deteriorated buildings are found on fifty-three (53) of ninety-one (91) blocks (fifty-eight percent (58%)). Figure 3 illustrates those blocks on which fifteen percent (15%) or more of the buildings are in a deteriorated state; thirty-six (36), of ninety-one (91) blocks meet this standard. '
Deterioration Of Surface Improvements.
The conditions of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking and surface storage areas may also evidence deterioration through surface cracking, crumbling, potholes, depressions, loose paving materials, and weeds protruding through the surface.
Deteriorated surface improvements can be identified on thirteen (13) of nine hundred forty-six (946) parcels (fourteen percent (14%)). Thirteen (13) of ninety-one (91) blocks (fourteen percent (14%)) show some deteriorated surface improvements. The most significant instances are the improvements associated with the elevated C.T.A. Blue Line, particularly viaducts. Similar to the effect caused by deteriorated buildings, the high visibility of these deteriorated improvements is especially damaging to the ability of the Project Area to attract new investment. Figure 3 illustrates the eight (8) blocks on which at least fifteen percent (15%) of the parcels display deteriorated surface improvements.
Deterioration, both of structures and of surface improvements, occurs throughout the Project Area. More importantly, such deterioration has depressing
 
5/11/2005
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
47377
effects on investment in neighboring properties, to a much greater extent than the proportion of properties exhibiting this factor might suggest. Therefore, deterioration is a major factor in the designation of the Project Area as a conservation area.
Depreciation Of Physical Maintenance.
This factor considers the effects of deferred maintenance and the lack of maintenance of buildings, improvements and grounds comprising the proposed redevelopment area. Evidence to show the presence of this factor in buildings may include, but is not limited to, the following: unpainted or unfinished surfaces; paint peeling; loose or missing materials; sagging or bowing walls, floors, roofs, and porches; cracks; broken windows; loose gutters and downspouts; and loose or missing shingles; and damaged building areas still in disrepair.
Of seven hundred fifty-five (755) buildings in the Project Area, four hundred fifty-three (453) (sixty percent (60%)) are characterized by depreciation of physical maintenance. Three (3) out of five (5) buildings are not being properly maintained, which, in addition to leading to blight on the subject property, also reduces the incentive for neighboring property owners to maintain their own property. Eighty-two (82) of ninety-one (91) blocks (ninety percent (90%)) contain at least one (1) building on which depreciation of physical maintenance can be identified. As seen in Figure 4, eighty-two (82) blocks contain this factor on more than fifteen percent (15%) of the properties within the. block. Given the extent of this characteristic throughout the Project Area, depreciation of physical maintenance is a major factor in the designation of the Project Area as a conservation area.
Obsolescence.
According to Illinois Departmentt>f Revenue definitions, an obsolete building or improvement is one which is becoming obsolete or going out of use — not entirely disused, but gradually becoming so. Thus, obsolescence is the condition or process of falling into disuse.
Obsolescence, as a factor, should be based upon the documented presence and reasonable distribution of buildings and other site improvements evidencing such obsolescence. Examples include the following sub-categories:
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
 
47378 JOURNAL—CITY COUNCIL-CHICAGO 5/11/2005
characteristics or deficiencies which limit the re-use and marketability of such buildings. The characteristics may include loss injvalue to a property resulting from an inherent deficiency existing from poor or but-dated design or layout, improper orientation of building on site, et cetera, which detracts from the overall usefulness or desirability of a property. Obsolescence in such buildings is typically difficult and expensive to correct.
Site improvements, including sewer and waterlines, public utility lines (gas,s electric and telephone), roadways, parking areas, parking structures, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, lighting, et cetera, 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, et cetera.
Obsolete Platting.
Obsolete platting would include parcels of limited or narrow size and configuration or , 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. Platting that created inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys and other public rights-of-way or which omitted easements for public utilities, should also be considered obsolete. *
The Project Area shows a significant degree of all three (3) types of obsolescence, sixty-six (66) of nine hundred forty-six (946) parcels (seven percent (7%)) contain at least one (1) form of obsolescence. This factor is also distributed throughout ^ the Project Area. Nearly one third (Va) of the ninety-one (91) blocks in the Project Area (twenty-five (25) blocks, or twenty-eight percent (28%)) contain a property characterized by (1) one or more varieties of obsolescence. Because obsolescence makes re-use of a building or property difficult or costly, the motivation to invest is diminished by the presence of this factor. Therefore, obsolescence is a minor factor in the designation of the Project Area. Figure 5 identifies the nineteen (19) blocks on which at least fifteen percent (15%) of parcels contain some form of obsolescence.
Illegal Use Of Individual Structures.
This factor applies to the use of structures in violation of applicable national, state, or local laws, and not to legal, nonconforming uses. Examples of illegal uses may include, but not be limited to the following:
illegal home occupations;
 
.5/11/2005
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
47379
conduct of any illegal vice activities such as gambling, drug manufacture or dealing, prostitution, sale and/or consumption of alcohol by minors;
uses not in conformance with local zoning codes and not previously grandfathered in as legal nonconforming uses;
uses in violation of national, state or local environmental and occupational safety and health regulations;
Uses involving manufacture, sale, storage or use of dangerous explosives and firearms.
r The exterior field survey conducted by Teska Associates found nine (9) of nine
hundred forty-nine (946) properties (one percent (1%)) which appear to contain illegal uses. While important to the individual properties, the infrequent occurrence of this factor suggests that illegal uses are not a major factor in the designation of :. the Project Area.
Presence Of Structures Below Minimum Code Standards;
Structures below minimum code standards include all structures which do not meet the standards of zoning, subdivision, building, housing, property maintenance, .fire, or other governmental codes applicable to the property. 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 this type 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 which presume to threaten health and safety.
A search of building code violations between January, 1994, and August, 1999 found that four hundred fifty-one (451) code violations have been cited in the Project Area over this time period. This amounts to approximately one (1) violation for every one and seven-tenths (1.7) properties over the last five (5) years. Further, violations are distributed on sixty-three (63) of ninety-one (91) blocks (sixty-nine percent (69%)). The excessive amount of code violation points to a relative lack of investment, such that many properties are not being maintained even to minimum standards. Figure 6 shows the blocks on which fifteen percent (15%) or more of the properties were cited in the last five (5) years; fifty-nine (59) blocks meet this criteria. Therefore, the presence of structures below minimum code standards makes a maior contribution to the designation as a conservation area.

Excessive Vacancies.
Establishing the presence of this factor requires the identification, documentation, and mapping of the presence of vacant buildings and vacant portions of buildings. Excessive vacancy refers to the presence of buildings which are unoccupied or underutilized and which represent an adverse influence on the area because of the frequency, extent, or duration of such vacancies. It includes properties which evidence no apparent effort directed toward their occupancy or utilization and vacancies within buildings.
Out of seven hundred fifty-five (755) buildings in the Project Area, seventy-five (75) (ten percent (10%)) are partially or entirely vacant. Vacancies occur on oyer half of the ninety-one (91) blocks in the Project Area (on forty-seven (47) blocks). The widespread occurrence of vacancies indicates that a substantial portion of the Project Area is underutilized, and the appearance of vacancies exerts a drain upon the vitality of the community. Vacancies therefore make a minor contribution toward the designation of the Project Area as a conservation area. Figure 7 illustrates the twenty-three (23) blocks (twenty-five percent (25%)) on which fifteen percent (15%) or more of the parcels contain a vacant or partially vacant building. ■\
Overcrowding Of Structures And Community Facilities.
Overcrowding of structures refers to the overutilization of private or public structures beyond a reasonable or safe capacity. Conversions from one use to another are the typical cause. Only five (5) properties display overcrowding. Overcrowding is therefore not a major factor in the designation of the Project Area.
Lack Of Ventilation, Light Or Sanitary Facilities.
Many older structures fail to provide adequate ventilation, light or sanitary facilities as required by local building or housing codes. This is also a characteristic often found in illegal or improper building conversions. The criterion used for determining the presence of this factor can be found in local codes and ordinances, or in locally adopted national codes such as the Uniform Building Code, Building Officials Code of America (B.O.C.A.), and the Model Housing Code of the American Public Health Association (A.P.H.A.). Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary facilities is.presumed to adversely affect the health and building occupants, e.g., residents, employees or visitors.
Typical requirements for ventilation, light and sanitary facilities include:
adequate mechanical ventilation for air circulation in spaces/rooms without windows, i.e., bathrooms, and dust, odor or smoke-producing activity areas;
 
5/11/2005
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
47381
adequate natural light, and ventilation by means of skylights or windows for interior rooms/spaces, and proper window sizes and amounts by room area to window area ratios;
adequate sanitary facilities, i.e., garbage storage/enclosure, bathroom facilities, hot water, and kitchens; and
adequate ingress and egress to and from all rooms and units.
Only four (4) properties were identified in the Project Area that were obviously inadequately lit or ventilated. As a result, this factor does not significantly contribute to the eligibility of the Project Area as a whole.
Inadequate Utilities. / .
This factor relates to all underground and overhead utilities, including, but not limited to, storm sewers and storm drainage, sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone and electric service which may be shown to be inadequate. Inadequate utilities would include those which are: (i) of insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the redevelopment project and surrounding areas; and (ii) deteriorated, antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair or are lacking.
While the condition of inadequate utilities has not been documented as part of the surveys and analyses undertaken within the Project Area, existing utilities may need to be relocated or upgraded to adequately serve new development. Inadequate utilities is not a major factor in the designation of the Project Area.
Excessive Land Coverage.
This factor may be documented by showing all instances where building coverage is excessive. Zoning ordinances commonly contain standards for residential, commercial, and industrial properties which relate floor area to lot area. In residential districts a lower ratio is usually required. Excessive land 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 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 spread of fires 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 and service. Excessive land coverage conditions are presumed to have an adverse or
 
47382

I
blighting effect on nearby development. This characteristic is viewed relative to its urban context, common practice and contemporary development standards.
Excessive coverage can be identified on seventeen (17) of nine hundred forty-six (946) properties in the Project Area (two percent (2%)). As a result of this infrequent occurrence, excessive site coverage does not appear as a significant contributor to the blighting of the Project Area, and is therefore not a major factor in the designation of the Project Area.
Deleterious Land-Use Or Layout.
Deleterious landuses 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.
Thirty-one (31) parcel (three* percent (3%)) are characterized by deleterious land-use or layout. These layout poses circulation and safety hazards in the immediate vicinity. However, because this problem occurs on only a limited number of parcels, deleterious land-use and layout is not a major factor in the designation of the Project Area.
Lack Of Community Planning.
This may be a significant factor if the proposed Project Area developed prior to or without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This means that no community plan existed or it was considered inadequate, and/or was virtually ignored during the development of the area. This finding may be amplified by evidence which shows the deleterious results of the lack of community planning, including cross-referencing other factors cited in the blight finding. This may include> but is not limited to, adverse or incompatible land-use relationships, inadequate street layout, improper subdivision, and parcels of inadequate size or shape to meet contemporary development standards.
The Project Area did develop without the guidance of a community plan. However, in recent years, the Project Area has been the subject of a concerted planning effort by the City and local community organizations. As a result, lack of planning is a minor factor in the designation of the Project Area.
Conclusion.
The original Project Area as a whole qualified as a conservation area according to the criteria established by the Act, based on the predominance and extent of parcels exhibiting the following characteristics:
 
5/11/2005
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
47383
1. Age.
2. Deterioration of buildings and surface improvements.
3. Depreciation of physical maintenance.
4. Obsolescence.
5. Presence of structures below minimum code standards.
6. Excessive vacancies.
7. Lack of community planning.
Each of these factors is present to a significant degree and distributed throughout the Project Area. Further, these factors act in combination with one another, reinforcing the negative affects of the other factors. For example, a property owner may be less likely to invest in maintenance for an obsolete building, which may leads to deterioration, which further inhibits investment. In turn, investment in neighboring properties is inhibited in this environment of decay. Therefore, while not every block exhibits every factor, the combination of the factors throughout the Project Area has significant impact. Due to the negative effect on the public safety and welfare caused by these factors, the Project Area is declared eligible as a conservation area. All of these characteristics point to the need for designation of the Project Area as a conservation area, to be followed by public intervention in order that redevelopment might occur.
Description Of The Amendment Area.
The Amendment Area consists of the addition of parcels on two (2) blocks at the intersection of West Belmont Avenue and North Pulaski Road, one (1) block at the southwest corner of Central Park Avenue and Mclean Avenue, and the addition of ten (10) new blocks located adjacent to the boundaries of the Original Project Area. Figure 8 identifies the Original Project Area and the Amendment Area.
The boundaries of the Amendment Area have been carefully established to add properties that will gain an immediate and substantial benefit from inclusion in the Redevelopment Plan. The Amendment Area contains eighty-one (81) buildings and one hundred seventeen (117) parcels, and consists of approximately thirty-one (31) acres within thirteen (13) legal blocks or portions thereof. ■

on an inspection of the improvements and grounds, field notes were taken which recorded the condition of the parcel. Photographs further document the observed conditions. Additional research was conducted at the Cook County Treasurer's Office and the City Building Department.
Consistent with the original study , a factor is considered to be "major" if the factor occurred on a relatively large number of properties, buildings or blocks. Alternatively, a factor which affects a relatively smaller proportion of properties may also be major, if the effects of the factor are highly visible, and exert a significant depressing or blighting effect upon neighboring properties. "Minor" factors, while affecting fewer properties than major factors, also exert a negative effect on the Amendment Area. Overall, the combination of major and minor blighting factors contributes to a blighted appearance and inhibits investment in the Amendment Area.
For each factor that contributes to the designation of the Amendment Area, a map has been prepared that illustrates the distribution of the factor. The maps represent the blocks in which the consultant team perceives the characteristic to be present to the degree that it represents a significant influence on the character, vitality and value of properties. Consistent with the original study a block is said to exhibit a given eligibility characteristic when a majority of parcels in a block exhibit the characteristic. In no case is a block said to exhibit a characteristic if less than fifteen percent (15%) of the parcels are characterized by the factor in question. Recognizing that it is not necessary for every parcel in a block to exhibit a factor in order for that factor to be significant, the fifteen percent (15%) level represents a threshold at which it is likely that a parcel is not more than two (2) properties away from a parcel which exhibits the characteristic, and the factor is perceivable as significant to the extent that the effects of that factor become noticeable and may affect investment decisions.
Age Of Buildings.
The characteristic of 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 or improvements 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 well suited for modern-day uses because of contemporary space and development standards.
Based on the observed style and construction methods of the buildings within the Amendment Area and information provided by the Cook County Assessor's Office, seventy-four (74) of eighty-one (81) buildings (ninety-one percent (91%)) are more than thirty-five (35) years old. Age is also widely distributed throughout the area.
 
5/11/2005
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
47385
At least one (1) building characterized by age can be found on eight (8) of the thirteen (13) Amendment Area blocks (sixty-two percent (62%)), and at least half (Vi) the buildings are characterized by age on those eight (8) blocks. Figure 9 illustrates the eight (8) of thirteen (13) Amendment Area blocks on which at least fifty percent (50%) of the buildings are more than thirty-five (35) years of age. As required, more than fifty percent (50%) of the structures within the Amendment Area are more than thirty-five (35) years of age. Age is therefore a major contributing factor in the designation of the Project Area as a conservation area.
Dilapidation.
Dilapidation refers to an advanced state of disrepair of buildings or improvements or the neglect of necessary repairs, causing the building or improvement to fall into a state of decay. At a minimum, dilapidated buildings should be those with critical defects in primary structural components (roof, bearing walls, floor structure and foundation), building systems (heating, ventilation, lighting and plumbing), and secondary structural components in such combination and extent that: (i) major repair is required or; (ii) the defects are so serious and extensive that the buildings must be removed.
The exterior survey conducted by T.A.I, did not find any structures which are characterized by this, extreme physical state. Dilapidation is not a contributing factor toward the designation as a conservation area.
Obsolescence.
According to the Act, an obsolete building or improvement is one which is in the condition or process of falling into disuse. The structures and/or site conditions have become ill suited for the original use. Obsolescence, as a factor, should be based upon the documented presence and reasonable distribution of buildings and other site improvements exhibiting conditions of falling into disuse. The following identify more specific sub-categories of obsolescence.
Functional Obsolescence.
Structures are typically built for specific uses or purposes with 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 which limit the re-use and marketability of such buildings. The characteristics may include loss in value to a property resulting from an inherent deficiency existing
 
47386
JOURNAL-CITY COUNCIL-CHICAGO 5/11/2005
from poor or out-dated design or layout, improper orientation of building on site, et cetera, which detracts from the overall usefulness or desirability of a property. Obsolescence in such buildings is typically difficult and expensive to correct.
Obsolete Site Improvements.
Site improvements, including sewer and waterlines, public utility lines (gas, electric and telephone), roadways, parking areas, parking structures, sidewalks, curbs and gurters, lighting, et cetera, 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, et cetera.
Obsolete Platting.
Obsolete platting would include parcels of limited or narrow size and configuration or 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. Platting that created inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys and other public rights-of-way or which omitted easements for public utilities, should also be considered obsolete.
The Amendment Area shows some signs of functional obsolescence and obsolete site improvements at the locations of the light industrial buildings. While some continue to function, they function below capacity given the attempts to either adapt the structures to office use or adapt the sites to accommodate necessary storage or loading areas. Eleven (11) of one hundred seventeen (117) parcels (nine percent (9%)) contain at least one (1) form of obsolescence. This factor is also distributed throughout the Project Area. Three (3) of the thirteen (13) blocks in the Amendment Area (twenty-three percent (23%)) contain a property characterized by one (1) or more varieties of obsolescence. Because obsolescence makes re-use of a building or property difficult or costly, the motivation to invest is diminished by the presence of this factor. Therefore, obsolescence is a minor factor in the 'designation of the Project, Area. Figure 10 identifies the three (3) blocks on which at least fifteen percent ,(15%) of parcels contain some form of obsolescence.
Deterioration.
Deterioration refers to physical deficiencies or disrepair in buildings or site improvements requiring treatment or repair.

Deterioration Of Buildings.
Buildings in a state of deterioration exhibit defects which are not easily correctable in the course of normal mairitenance. Such buildings may be classified as deteriorating or in an advanced stage of deterioration, depending upon the degree or extent of defects. This would include buildings with major defects in the secondary building components (e.g., doors, windows, porches, gutters and downspouts, fascia materials, et cetera), and major defects in primary building components (e.g., foundations, frames, roofs, et cetera), respectively.
Deterioration occurs in twelve (12) of eighty-one (81) buildings (fifteen percent (15%)) in the Project Area contain defects that cannot be corrected with normal maintenance. Such buildings create a visible environment of deterioration throughout the Project Area, causing owners of other nearby properties to be less inclined to invest in their own buildings. Thus, the effects of deterioration can become magnified beyond those buildings identified in the eligibility survey. This effect is widespread throughout the Project Area; deteriorated buildings are found on five (5) of thirteen (13) blocks (thirty-eight percent (38%)). Figure 11 illustrates those blocks on which fifteen percent (15%) or more of the buildings are in a deteriorated state; five (5) of thirteen (13) blocks meet this standard.
Deterioration Of Site Improvements.
The conditions of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking and surface storage areas may also evidence deterioration through surface cracking; crumbling, potholes, depressions, loose paving materials and weeds protruding through the surface.
Deteriorated surface improvements can be identified on fifty-six (56) of one hundred seventeen (117) parcels (forty-eight percent (48%)). Twelve (12) of thirteen (13) blocks (ninety-two percent (92%)) show some deteriorated surface improvements. Figure 11 illustrates the twelve (12) blocks on which at least fifteen percent (15%) of the parcels display deteriorated surface improvements.
Deterioration, both of structures and of surface improvements, occurs throughout the Amendment Area. More importantly, such deterioration has depressing effects on investment in neighboring properties, to a much greater extent than the proportion of properties exhibiting this factor might suggest. Therefore, deterioration is a major factor in the designation of the Amendment Area as a conservation area.

Presence Of Structures Below Minimum Code Standards.
Structures below minimum code standards include all structures that do not meet the standards of zoning, subdivision, building, housing, property maintenance, fire; or other governmental codes applicable to the property. 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 this type 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 which presume to threaten health and safety.
The exterior field survey conducted by T.A.I, did not identify any buildings below code. Given the lack of this characteristic throughout the Project Area, this factor does not contribute to the status of the Amendment Area as a conservation area.
Illegal Use Of Individual Structures.
This factor applies to the use of structures in violation of applicable national, state or local laws, and not to legal, nonconforming uses. Examples of illegal uses may include, but not be limited to the following:
illegal Home Occupations;
conduct of any illegal vice activities such as gambling, drug manufacture or dealing, prostitution, sale and/or consumption of alcohol by minors;
uses not in conformance with local zoning codes and not previously grandfathered in as legal nonconforming uses;
uses in violation of national, state or local environmental and occupational safety and health regulations;
uses involving manufacture, sale, storage or use of dangerous explosives and firearms.
The exterior field survey did not identify any building being characterized by an illegal use. This factor does not significantly contribute to the status of the Amendment Area as a conservation area.
Excessive Vacancies. Establishing the presence of this factor requires the identification, documentation,
 
5/11/2005
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES

and mapping of the presence of vacant buildings and vacant portions of buildings. Excessive vacancy refers to the presence of buildings which are unoccupied or underutilized and which represent an adverse influence on the area because of the frequency, extent or duration of such vacancies. It includes properties which evidence no apparent effort directed toward their occupancy or utilization and vacancies within buildings.
Out of eighty-one (81) buildings in the Amendment Area, seventeen (17) (twenty-one percent (21%)) are partially or entirely vacant. Vacancies occur on over half ('A) of the thirteen (13) blocks in the Amendment Area (on seven (7) blocks). The widespread occurrence of vacancies indicates that a substantial portion of the Amendment Area is underutilized, and the appearance of vacancies exerts a drain upon the vitality of the community. Vacancies therefore make a major contribution toward the designation of the Amendment Area as a conservation area. Figure 12 illustrates the seven (7) blocks (fifty-four percent (54%)) on which fifteen (15%) or more of the parcels contain a vacant or partially vacant building.
Lack Of Ventilation, Light Or Sanitary Facilities.
Many older structures fail to provide adequate ventilation, light or sanitary facilities as required by local building or housing codes. This is also a characteristic often found in illegal or improper building conversions. The criterion used for determining the presence of this factor can be found in City of Chicago municipal codes and ordinances, or in locally adopted national codes such as the International Building Code, and the Model Housing Code of the American Public Health Association (A.P.H.A.). Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary facilities is presumed to adversely affect the health and building occupants, e.g., residents, employees or visitors
Typical requirements for ventilation, light and sanitary facilities include:
adequate mechanical ventilation for air circulation in spaces /rooms without windows, i.e., bathrooms, and dust, odor or smoke-producing activity areas;
adequate natural light and ventilation by means of skylights or windows for interior rooms/spaces, and proper window sizes and amounts by room area to window area ratios;
adequate sanitary facilities, i.e., garbage storage/enclosure, bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens; and
adequate ingress and egress to and from all rooms and units.

JOURNAL—CITY COUNCIL-CHICAGO 5/11 /2005
No properties were identified in the Amendment Area that were obviously inadequately lit or ventilated. As a result, this factor does not significantly contribute to the eligibility of the Amendment Area as a whole.
Inadequate Utilities.
This factor relates to all underground and overhead utilities, including, but not limited to, storm sewers and storm drainage, sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone and electric service which may be shown to be inadequate. Inadequate utilities would include those which are: (i) of insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the redevelopment project and surrounding areas; and (ii) deteriorated, antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair or are lacking.
While the condition of inadequate utilities has not'been documented as part of the surveys and analyses undertaken within the Amendment Area, existing utilities may need to be relocated or upgraded to adequately serve new development. Inadequate utilities is not a major factor in the designation of the Amendment Area,
Excessive Land Coverage And Overcrowding Of Structures And Community Facilities. t
This factor may be documented by showing all instances where building coverage is excessive. Zoning ordinances commonly contain standards for residential, commercial, and industrial properties which relate floor area to lot area. In residential districts a lower ratio is usually required. Excessive land 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 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 spread of fires 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 and service. Based on the requirements of the Act, no parcels within the Amendment Area exhibit excessive land coverage resulting in the conditions outlined above.
Overcrowding of structures refers to the overutilization of private or public structures beyond a reasonable or safe capacity- Conversions from one use to another are the typical cause. Based on the exterior field survey conducted by T.A.L no structures in the Amendment Area exhibit visible overcrowding. This factor is not a major factor in the designation of the Amendment Area.

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.
Only four (4) of the one hundred seventeen (117) Amendment Area parcels three percent (3%) are characterized by deleterious land-use or layout. These layout poses circulation and safety hazards in the immediate vicinity. However, becausethis problem occurs on only a limited number of parcels, deleterious land-use and layout is not a major factor in the designation of the Amendment Area.
Lack Of Community Planning.
This may be a significant factor if the Amendment Area developed prior to or without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This means that no community plan existed or it was considered inadequate, and/or was virtually ignored during the development of the area. This finding may be amplified by evidence which shows the deleterious results of the lack of community planning, including cross-referencing other factors cited in the blight finding. This may include, but is not limited to, adverse or incompatible land-use relationships, inadequate street layout, improper subdivision, and parcels of inadequate size or shape to meet contemporary development standards.
The Amendment Area did develop without the guidance of a community plan. However, in recent years, the Amendment Area has been the subject of a concerted planning effort by the City and local community organizations. As a result, lack of planning is a minor factor in the designation of the Amendment Area.
Environmental Remediation Cost Impeding Development.
This factor may be documented by determining if any requirements by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, or any study conducted by a recognized independent expert consultant has resulted in the need to incur remediation costs for a site that have resulted in impeding further site redevelopment. Based on field survey, there do not appear to be any environmental remediation projects required within the Amendment Area. Therefore there could be no costs associated with a remediation project that could impede the redevelopment of a site. This factor does not significantly contribute to the status of the Amendment Area as a conservation area.

Decline Or Minimal Marginal Increase In The Equalized Assessed Value.
This factor can be cited if the total equalized assessed value of the Amendment Area has declined for three (3) of the last five (5) calendar years in 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.

Source: Cook County Assessor's Office November 2004
Table A-1 represents the most recent data available from the Cook County Assessor's Office as of November 2004. Based on information provided obtained from Cook County regarding the growth rate of equalized assessed value for the whole City over the last five (5) years, the percent change in the E.A.V. for the Amendment Area was less than the percent change for the City of Chicago in the years 1999, 2000 and 2002.^ Relative to the immediate surroundings, the Amendment Area has not experienced appropriate growth to the tax base or shown evidence of private investment, which increases the value of properties. Based on this evidence, lag in growth of E.A.V. is a major contributing factor to the status of the Amendment Area as a conservation area.
Conclusion.
The Amendment Area qualifies as a conservation area according to the criteria
 
5/11/2005 REPORTS OF COMMITTEES 47393
established by the Act, based on the predominance and extent of parcels exhibiting the following characteristics:
1. Age.
2. Obsolescence.
3. Deterioration of buildings and surface improvements.
4. Excessive vacancies.
5. Lack of community planning.
6. Decline of the Amendment Area equalized assessed value at a rate greater than experienced by the remainder of the City for at least three (3) of the last five (5) years.
Each of these factors is present to a significant degree and distributed throughout the Amendment Area. Further, these factors act in combination with one another, reinforcing the negative effects of the other factors. For example, a property owner may be less likely to invest in maintenance for an obsolete building, which may lead to deterioration, which further inhibits investment. In turn, investment in neighboring properties is inhibited in this environment of decay. Therefore, while not every block exhibits every factor, the combination of the factors throughout the Amendment Area has significant impact. Due to the negative effect on the public safety and welfare caused by these factors, the Amendment Area is declared eligible as a conservation area. All of these characteristics point to the need for designation of the Amendment Area as a conservation area, to be followed by public intervention in order that redevelopment might occur.

(To Amendment Number 1 To Fullerton/Milwaukee Tax Increment Financing. Redevelopment Plan And Project)
Fullerton/Milwaukee Redevelopment Plan And Project Housing Impact Study Amendment Number 1 December 30, 2004.
Introduction.
Teska Associates, Inc. has been retained to conduct a Housing Impact Study for the City of Chicago (the "City") Fullerton/Milwaukee Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment Plan and Project (the "Redevelopment Plan") pursuant to the Illinois Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-1, et seq.) (the "Act"). This report summarizes the analyses and findings of the consultants' work,. which is the responsibility of Teska Associates, Inc. ■
The Fullerton/Milwaukee Redevelopment Project Area ("Project Area") is located approximately five (5) miles northwest of the central business district of Chicago. The Project Area encompasses portions of four (4) major corridors: West Armitage Avenue, from North Ridgeway Avenue to North Milwaukee Avenue; West Fullerton Avenue, from North Kimball Avenue to North Francisco Avenue; West Belmont Avenue', from North Tripp Avenue to North Hamlin Avenue; and North Milwaukee Avenue from West Homer Avenue to West School Street.
As set forth in the Act, if the redevelopment plan for a redevelopment project area would result in the displacement of residents from ten (10) or more inhabited residential units, or if the redevelopment project area contains seventy-five (75) or more inhabited residential units and the City does not certify at that time that no displacement of residents will occur, the municipality shall prepare a housing impact study and incorporate the study in the Redevelopment Plan.
The number and type of residential buildings in the Project Area potentially affected by the Redevelopment Plan were identified during the survey of building condition and land-use conducted as part of the eligibility analysis for the Project Area. An estimate of the number of residential units within each such building, and ' whether such residential units were inhabited or inhabited, was based on a number
 
5/11/2005
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
47449
of analytical tools including, where appropriate, physical building surveys, Cook County tax assessment records, and United States Census data. As of November 24, 2004 the Project Area contained one thousand five hundred seventy-seven (1,577) residential units, of which one thousand four hundred thirty-four (1,434) were inhabited and one hundred forty-three (143) were uninhabited.
The goal of the Redevelopment Plan is not to displace existing residents. The primary goal of the Redevelopment Plan is to increase housing opportunities and strengthen commercial nodes. However, the City is unable to certify that no displacement of residents will occur throughout the twenty-three (23) year life of the Redevelopment Plan. Therefore, based on the requirements of the Act, this housing impact study contains the following parts:
Part I herein identifies the residential units in number and type, indicating whether they are inhabited or uninhabited, and the racial and ethnic composition of the residents. Specifically, the housing impact study shall provide the following:
1. data as to whether the residential units are single-family or multi-family units;
2. the number and type of rooms within the units, if that information is available;
3. data as to whether the units are inhabited or uninhabited, as determined not less than forty-five (45) days before the Redevelopment Plan is considered by the Community Development Commission; and
4. data as to the racial and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited residential units (this data requirement shall be deemed to be fully satisfied by data from the most recent federal census).
Part II herein identifies the inhabited residential units in the proposed project area that may be removed, including:
1. the number and location of those units that may be removed;
2. the municipality's plans for relocation assistance for those residents in the proposed redevelopment project area whose residences are to be removed;
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
4. the type and extent of relocation assistance to be provided.

Part I. Residential Units.
Part I of this study provides the type, size and number of residential units within the Project Area, the number of inhabited and uninhabited units, and the racial and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited residential units.
Type And Number Of Residential Units.
Field studies conducted by the Teska Associates, Inc. indicate that the Project Area contains one thousand five hundred seventy-seven (1,577) residential units. There are twenty-seven (27) single-family homes, five hundred thirty-seven (537) units in multi-family buildings and one thousand thirteen (1,013) units in mixed-use buildings (typically, upper story apartments above commercial uses).
Type And Number Of Rooms In Residential Units.
Tables E-l, E-2 and E-3, respectively, describe the distribution of the one thousand five hundred seventy-seven (1,577) residential units in the Project Area by number of rooms, by number of bedrooms, and by kitchen and plumbing facilities.
For purposes of this study, data has been gathered from the 2000 United States Census and is represented in block groups. A block group is a combination of census blocks (a census block is the smallest entity for which the Census Bureau collects and tabulates one hundred percent (100%) data). The Block Group is the lowest level of geography for which the Census Bureau has tabulated sample, or long-form, data. In this study, we have relied on the 2000 federal census because it is the best available information regarding the structures and residents of the Project Area. We have obtained information for the thirty-five (35) block groups which contain residential units in the Project Area. These thirty-five (35) block groups contain a total of twenty-one thousand two hundred forty-six (21,246) residential units.
The number of conventional residential units in the Project Area (one thousand five hundred seventy-seven (1,577)) represents seven and four-tenths percent (7.4%) of the total residential units within the thirty-five (35) block groups. Therefore, that percentage has been consistently applied to estimate, the distributions of rooms, number of bedrooms, and kitchen and plumbing facilities as presented in the tables below. For example, the number of one (1) room units in all thirty-five (35) block groups is one thousand six hundred ninety-one (1,691).    Multiplying seven and four-tenths percent (7.4%) by this* total
 
5/11/2005
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES

determines that there are one hundred twenty-six (126) one (1) room units in the Project Area (1,691 x 0.074 = 125.52).
(
Table E-1 shows the estimated number (rounded to the nearest whole number) of conventional residential units in the Project Area by number of rooms. As defined by the Census Bureau, a room includes living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, finished recreation rooms, enclosed porches suitable for year round use and lodger's rooms. Excluded are strip or Pullman kitchens, bathrooms, open porches, balconies, halls or foyers, half-rooms, utility rooms, unfinished attics or basements or other unfinished space used for storage. A partially divided room is a separate room only if there is a partition from floor to ceiling, but not if the partition consists solely of shelves or cabinets.

Table E-2 describes the estimated number of bedrooms in the conventional residential units in the Project Area. As defined by the Census Bureau, number of bedrooms includes all rooms intended for use as bedrooms even if they are currently used for some other purpose. A residential unit consisting of only one (1) room, such as a one (1) room efficiency apartment, is classified by definition as having no bedroom.

convection or microwave oven, or cookstove, and (3) a refrigerator. All kitchen facilities must be located in the structure. They need not be in the same room. Portable cooking equipment is not considered a range or cookstove. An ice box is not considered to be a refrigerator. As defined by the Census Bureau, complete plumbing facilities include hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet and a bathtub or shower. All three (3) facilities must be located inside the house, apartment or mobile home, but not necessarily in the same room. Housing facilities are classified as lacking complete plumbing facilities when any of the three (3) facilities are not present.

Inhabited Units.
Field surveys were completed on a buildingrby-building basis by Teska Associates, Inc. to determine the total number of inhabited and uninhabited residential units within the Project Area. As required by the Act, this information was ascertained as of November 24, 2004, which is not less than forty-five (45) days before the date that the resolution required by subsection (a) of Section 11-74.4-5 of the Act is or will be passed.
The Project Area contains one thousand five hundred seventy-seven (1,577) residential units, including one thousand four hundred thirty-four (1,434)
 
47454 JOURNAL-CITY COUNCIL-CHICAGO 5/11/2005
inhabited units and one hundred forty-three (143) uninhabited units. All of these uninhabited units are contained in multi-family or mixed-use buildings.

Demographics.
As required by the Act, the racial and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited residential units is determined according to the most recent federal census data.
First, the estimated number of persons in the Project Area is calculated. The United Stated Department of Housing and Urban Development (H.U.D.) has determined a family size adjustment rate based on the number of bedrooms in a unit. This rate is applied to the estimated number of units in the Project Area, in order to estimate the number of persons living in the Project Area. Estimates are shown in Table E-5 below. Currently, approximately four thousand eight hundred forty-nine (4,849) persons reside in the Project Area.

Second, racial and ethnic composition is available from the 2000 United States Census, for the thirty-five (35) block groups which contain residential units in the Project Area. These block groups contain a total of sixty thousand ninety-nine (60,099) residents. Table E-6 identifies the residents of the thirty-five (35) block groups by their racial and ethnic composition, and estimates the racial and ethnic composition of the estimated four thousand eight hundred forty-nine (4,849) residents of the Project Area. For example, census data indicates that forty-three and nine-tenths percent (43.9%) of the total number of residents in the thirty-five (35) block groups are white. By applying this percentage to the estimated Project Area population of four thousand eight hundred forty-nine (4,849) and rounding to the nearest whole number, we estimate that there are two thousand one hundred twenty-nine (2,129) white persons among the four thousand eight hundred forty-nine (4,849) residents of the Project Area (4,849x0.439 = 2,129).

Part II. Relocation Plans.
As required by the Act, Part II contains information on any acquisition, relocation program, replacement housing and relocation assistance.
Residential Units Which May Be Removed.
The Redevelopment Plan indicates that no property is being targeted for acquisition under the 2005 Amendment. It also states the underlying Armitage/California/St. Louis Redevelopment Area previously identified several properties for acquisition. These properties are identified in Appendix C. Appendix C identifies parcels of real property on which there are buildings containing residential units that could be removed if the underlying Redevelopment Plan is implemented. Hence, there is a possibility over the twenty-three (23) year life of the Project Area that some inhabited residential units may be removed as a result of the implementation of the previously adopted underlying acquisition plan. The methodology used to estimate the number and location of residential units that may be removed is as follows:
1. First, all inhabited residential units previously identified on any underlying acquisition maps are counted. The Armitage/Califoraia/St. Louis Redevelopment Area Plan identified three (3) mixed-use structures with four (4) residential units that may be acquired. The number of inhabited residential units that may be removed under this step in three
2. Second, if any properties were targeted for acquisition, inhabited residential units on those properties would be counted. Since no properties are identified for acquisition in the Redevelopment Plan, no inhabited residential units are counted in this step.
3. Third, we count the number of residential units that exist where the future land-use indicated by the Redevelopment Plan is different than the current use. No parcels which currently contain residential units are designated for redevelopment to a different future land-use that would preclude the inclusion of residential units on-site, therefore, the Redevelopment Plan is not minimizing the number of potential residential units in the future. The number of residential units removed under this step is zero (0).
In total, three (3) inhabited residential units may be removed, as described below:

These units are planned to be replaced by the residential component of the corridor mixed land-use as contemplated in the land-use plan, which would mitigate the loss of these units.
Relocation Program.
If during the life of the twenty-three (23) year tax increment financing district, the City acquires property which includes residential units, the City's plans for relocation assistance for qualified residents in the proposed Project Area shall be consistent with the requirements set forth in Section 1 l-74.4-3(n)(7) of the Act. The terms and conditions of such assistance are described under "Type and Extent of Relocation Assistance" below. The City, as of the date of this report, has prepared no specific relocation plan because it is not the intent of the City to acquire any occupied residential units within the Project Area.
Availability Of Replacement Housing.
In accordance with Section 1 l-74.4-3(n)(7) of the 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.
To promote development of affordable housing, the Redevelopment Plan requires that developers who receive tax increment financing assistance for market-rate housing are to set aside at least twenty percent (20%) of the units to meet
 
5/11/2005 REPORTS OF COMMITTEES 47459
affordability criteria established by the City's Department of Housing. Generally, this means the affordable for-sale units should be priced at a level that is affordable to households earning no more than one hundred percent (100%) of the area median income (adjusted for family size), and affordable rental units should be affordable to households earning no more than sixty percent (60%) of the area median income (adjusted for family size).
Samples of the type, location and cost of a sample of possible replacement housing units located in the Avondale, Logan Square, Bucktown, Roscoe Village, Palmer Square and Humboldt Park community areas are listed in Table E-8. The information presented is based on classified advertisements from the Chicago Reader online newspaper listings (compiled from the October 29, 2004 issue). It is important to note, however, that Chicago has a rental cycle that turns over in greater volume on May 1 and October 1 of each year. The majority of the apartments in the City that turn over in any given year become available during the months prior to those dates. Therefore, housing ads placed at these times will likely reflect a wider variety of rental rates, unit sizes and locations.

Type And Extent Of Relocation Assistance.
In the event that the implementation of the Redevelopment-Plan results in the removal by the City of residential housing units in the Redevelopment Project Area occupied by low-income households or very low-income households, the occupants of such units shall be provided 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. The City shall make a good faith effort to ensure that affordable replacement housing for the aforementioned households is located in or near the Redevelopment Project Area.
As used in the above paragraph, "low-income households", "very low-income households" and "affordable housing" have the meanings set forth in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, 310 ILCS 65/3. As of the date of this Redevelopment Plan, these statutory terms have the following meaning: (i) "low-income household" means a single person, family or unrelated persons living together whose adjusted income is more than fifty percent (50%) but less than eighty percent (80%) 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 ("H.U.D.") for purposes of Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 ("Section 8"); (ii) "very low-income household" means a single person, family or unrelated persons living together whose adjusted income is not more than fifty percent (50%) of the median income of the area of residence, adjusted for family size, as so determined by H.U.D. for purposes of Section 8; 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 thirty percent (30%) of the maximum allowable income for such households, as applicable.
An estimate of the number of low- *and very low-income households in the Redevelopment Project Area is based on the 2000 United States Census data for the block groups which contain the residential units in the Project Area.
First, the thirty-five (35) block groups which contain residential units in the Project Area contain a total of twenty one thousand two hundred forty-six (21,246) residential units, and the Project Area contains one thousand five hundred seventy-seven (1,577) residential units (seven and four-tenths percent (7.4%) of the block group total). Census data also indicates that there are nineteen thousand five hundred fifty-one (19,551) households in the thirty-five (35) block groups. Therefore, we estimate that there are one thousand four hundred forty-seven (1,447) households in the Project Area (19,551 x 0.074 = 1,447).
Table E-9 shows the percentage of households in the block groups by household income level.

Second, the number of occupied units by household size is determined, based on the fact that in the Project Area, one thousand four hundred thirty-four (1,434} of one thousand five hundred seventy-seven (1,577) residential units area occupied (ninety and nine-tenths percent (90.9%)).' For example, if there are three hundred seventy-six (376) one (1) bedroom residential units in the Project Area, approximately three hundred forty-two (342) are occupied (376 x 0.909 = 18).

Third, since 2000 Census household income data were collected in 1999,they are compared to 1999 low-income, very low-income and thirty percent (30%) of the area median income threshold limits as determined by H.U.D The H.U.D. income limits are based on family size and defined as follows:
The low-income limit is defined as "80% of the median family income for the area, subject to adjustments for areas with unusually high or low-incomes or housing costs".
The very low-income limit is defined as "50% of the median family income for the area, subject to specified adjustments for areas with unusually high or low-incomes".
The thirty percent (30%) of the area median income limits is "a new income targeting standard of the 1998 Act Amendments to the Housing Act of' 1937; to avoid inconsistencies with other limits, it is defined as 60% of the four person family very low-income limit, adjusted for family size".
These income limits are also adjusted for family size so that larger families have higher income limits. Using the criteria listed above, the following information is determined:

Be It Resolved by the Community Development Commission of the City of Chicago:
Section 1. The above recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof.
Section 2.   The Commission hereby makes the following findings pursuant to Section 5/1 l-74.4-3(n) of the Act or such other section as is referenced herein:
a. the Area on the whole has not been subject to growth and development through investment by private enterprise and would not reasonably be expected to be developed without the adoption of the Plan;
b. the Plan:
(i) conforms to the comprehensive plan for the development of the City as a whole; or
(ii) the Plan either (A) conforms to the strategic economic development or redevelopment plan issued by the Chicago Plan Commission or (B) includes land uses that have been approved by the Chicago Plan Commission;
c. the Plan meets all of the requirements of a redevelopment plan as defined in the Act and, as set forth in the Plan, the estimated date of completion of the projects described therein and retirement of all obligations issued to finance redevelopment project costs is not later than December 31 of the year in which the payment to the municipal treasurer as provided in subsection (b) of Section 5/11-74.4-8 of the Act is to be made with respect to ad valorem taxes levied in the twenty-third (23rd) calendar year following the year of the adoption of the ordinance approving the designation of the Area as a redevelopment project area and, as required pursuant to Section 5/11-74.4-7 of the Act, no such obligation shall have a maturity date greater than twenty (20) years;
d. to the extent required by Section 5/11-74.4-3(n) (6) of the Act, the Plan incorporates the housing impact study, if such study is required by Section 5/11-74.4-3(n)(5) of the Act;

f.  as required pursuant to Section 5/1 l-74.4~3(p) of the Act:
(i) the Area is not less, in the aggregate, than one and one-half (1XA) acres in size; and
(ii) conditions exist in the Area that cause the Area to qualify for designation as a redevelopment project area and a "conservation area" as defined in the Act; '
g. if the Area is qualified as a "blighted area", whether improved or vacant, each of the factors necessary to qualify the Area as a Redevelopment Project Area on that basis is (i) present, with that presence documented to a meaningful extent so that it may be reasonably found that the factor is clearly present within the intent of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the improved part or vacant part, as applicable, of the Area as required pursuant to Section 5/1 l-74.4-3(a) of the Act; r
