The City of Waukee, State of Iowa is the local public agency which, if such Amendment is approved, shall undertake the urban renewal activities described in such Amendment.
The general scope of the urban renewal activities under consideration in the Amendment is to promote the growth and retention of qualified industries and businesses in the Urban Renewal Area through various public purpose and special financing activities outlined in the Amendment.  To accomplish the objectives of the Amendment, and to encourage the further economic development of the Urban Renewal Area, the Amendment provides that such special financing activities may include, but not be limited to, the making of loans or grants of public funds to private entities under Chapter 15A, Code of Iowa.  The City also may reimburse or directly undertake the installation, construction and reconstruction of substantial public improvements, including, but not limited to, street, water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer or other public improvements.  The City also may acquire and make land available for development or redevelopment by private enterprise as authorized by law.  The Amendment provides that the City may issue bonds or use available funds for purposes allowed by the Plan and that tax increment reimbursement of the costs of urban renewal projects may be sought if and to the extent incurred by the City.  The Amendment initially proposes specific public infrastructure or site improvements to be undertaken by the City, and provides that the Amendment may be amended from time to time.
The proposed Amendment No. 10 would consolidate the Towne Center Commercial Urban Renewal Area and the Quarter Commercial Urban Renewal Area with the existing Waukee Consolidated Urban Renewal Area, add additional property to the Urban Renewal Area, remove property from the Urban Renewal Area, update and revise previously approved urban renewal projects, and add additional urban renewal projects to be completed within the Urban Renewal Area.
Other provisions of the Plan not affected by the Amendment would remain in full force and effect.
Any person or organization desiring to be heard shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard at such hearing.
