HomeMy WebLinkAboutA003 - Council Action Form dated December 13, 2005 ITEM #: 361a"L DATE: 12/13/05 COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY OF A PORTION OF THE BLOCK BOUNDED BY GRAY AVENUE, SUNSET STREET, AND BEACH AVENUE AS AN URBAN REVITALIZATION AREA UNDER THE MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL CRITERIA MATRIX, PREPARING AN URBAN REVITALIZATION PLAN,AND SETTING THE DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING BACKGROUND: On October 3, 2005, the City received an application to establish an Urban Revitalization Area, which would include six parcels bounded by Gray Avenue, Sunset Street, and Beach Avenue (see Attachment A). In this area, a project is planned thatwill ultimately include the demolition of all eight residential buildings, two garages, and the construction of two multi-family residential buildings, in several phases. The first phase is underway: several buildings have been removed and a 26-unit building is under construction. The application materials (Attachment B) describe and illustrate this first phase project. On July 12, 2005, the City Council denied a previous request to establish an Urban Revitalization Area on these properties, based on the required criteria for slum and blight. The current application is based on the criteria for underutilized properties, that the properties have been and will be vacant. Process for Urban Revitalization Program. If the City Council decides to proceed, several steps are involved in establishing the Urban Revitalization Area and receiving the partial property tax abatement: • A resolution finding that: "rehabilitation", or "conservation", or "redevelopment", or "economic development" of the area is necessary. • Preparation of a "plan". • Public hearing, after mailed notice to owners and tenants, and adoption of the "plan". • Enactment of an ordinance designating the area. • Construction of a project that meets the criteria that the approved Urban Revitalization Plan establishes for this Urban Revitalization Area. • City approval of an application for the Urban Revitalization Program tax abatement, for every tax year in which improvements are made in a project that meets the criteria. • Calculation of the value of the actual tax abatement to establish taxable value. The City and the City Assessor are both involved, with the City establishing the Area and Plan and confirming that a built project is eligible, and the Assessor establishing the taxable value. The action to be considered by the City Council at this time is to determine if the request meets its goals and policies for the Urban Revitalization Program. If so, then Council would direct staff to prepare the Plan and set a date of Public Hearing on establishing an Urban Revitalization Area and Plan for the subject area. In analyzing this request, staff uses the Criteria for Eligibility underthe Urban Revitalization Multiple Family Residential Criteria Matrix established by the City Council (Attachment C). Under this policy, the proposed project must meet one of the "Required" criteria and one of the "Optional" criteria. Required Criteria. The two required criteria are: • A slum and blighted condition, or • An underutilized condition. The applicant has indicated that the site is underutilized in that the principal structures on the site have been or will be removed and the site will be vacant. To be considered underutilized, the property must meet one of the criteria listed under "Underutilized" in the left column of the Urban Revitalization Multiple Family Residential Criteria Matrix, which are, in summary: • Vacant or previously developed with the buildings removed • Non-conforming with respect to the base zone (RH) • Non-conforming with respect to the floodway fringe • Parking ramps within 300 feet of the Downtown/Campustown Service Center (DCSC) Zoning District The property and proposed project do not meet any of the last three criteria. The application is based on the first of these criteria. The subject property originally contained eight residential buildings, some of which still exist and have residents. The buildings in Phase I were vacant and have already been demolished. According to the applicant, the buildings in Phase II will become vacant in the future. The Phase I buildings have been removed. A demolition permit was issued on August 15, 2005. The application for this permit stated that demolition was expected to be complete by August 20. A footing and foundation permit was issued on August 16, 2005, and a building permit was issued September 14, 2005. Construction is now underway. The "Phase I" portion of the property is therefore certainly vacant now. It may have been vacant of residents for several weeks before demolition began, and it may have been vacant of a building for several days before excavation and foundation work began. 2 Optional Conditions. The applicant has selected the following two of the optional requirements of the Multiple Family Residential Criteria Matrix: • Brick Construction or Similar Masonry Material: 100% of the street face and 50%of the sides of the structure shall be faced with brick or similar masonry material. • Landscaping Beyond Required: Landscaping improvements installed at 150% of the required landscaping standard or greater. This analysis is based on the plans for the single proposed 26-unit condominium building in Phase 1. The plans show that the building is to have brick and similar masonry construction on 100% of both street faces and at least 50% of the sides of the structure (see Attachments D and E for Building Elevations). The landscaping requirement under the Zoning Ordinance is one landscaping unit for every 60 feet of frontage along a public street. This property would be required to have seven units of landscaping. According to the approved landscaping plan (Attachment F), in addition to existing trees to remain and required parking lot screening, the design has the following landscaping units: 3 over story trees 3.0 units 80 shrubs 13.3 units Total landscaping 16.3 units The landscaping requirement of 150% of the required is exceeded, as the landscaping proposed is 233% of that required under the Zoning Ordinance. Value of Property and Tax Revenue. The following analysis is based on these premises: • An Urban Revitalization Area encompassing all seven existing properties as proposed. • Existing 2005 building and land value of the Assessor proposed building value estimated by City staff. • Three of the existing buildings demolished and three of the lots combined, on which the proposed 26-unit condominium building is constructed. • No changes in the property value or tax rate overtime are taken into consideration. • The taxable value of the new condominium building will be subject to the residential rollback. The total current assessed value of all of the properties is $1,244,204, with total property tax revenue of $37,650. The estimated value of the new condominium building is $2,764,000. The estimated future tax revenue for the entire subject area with the new building without abatement would be $64,775 per year. 3 The taxes abated under the three different tax schedules are listed below based on the following estimated valuation: Estimated building value $ 2,764,000 Existing building value $ 315,300 Estimated added value $ 2,448,700 Estimated added taxable value $ 1,174,500 Estimated Taxes Abated Per Schedule 3-Year: $ 107,845 5-Year: $ 107,845 10-Year: $ 158,173 This analysis does not consider additional taxes abated for the second condominium building to be developed in Phase Two. ALTERNATIVES: 1. The City Council can determine that the Request for Designation of an Urban Revitalization Area for a portion of the block bounded by Gray Avenue, Sunset Street, and Beach Avenue (Phases I & II) does not meet the criteria for eligibility. `2. The City Council can determine that the Request for Designation of an Urban .,,Revitalization Area for a portion of the block bounded by Gray Avenue, Sunset Street, and Beach Avenue (Phases I & II) meets the criteria for eligibility, direct staff to prepare an Urban Revitalization Plan, and set a date of public hearing for January 24, 2006. 3. The City Council can determine that the Request for Designation of an Urban Revitalization Area only for that portion of the block bounded by Gray Avenue, Sunset Street, and Beach Avenue Phase I meets the criteria for eligibility, direct staff to prepare an Urban Revitalization Plan, and set a date of public hearing for January 24, 2006. 4. The City Council can determine that the Request for Designation of an Urban Revitalization Area for a portion of the block bounded by Gray Avenue, Sunset Street, and Beach Avenue (Phases I & 11) does not meet the criteria for eligibility, and instruct the staff to develop options for revising the definition of underutilized so that the original intent of the urban revitalization program is accomplished. 4 MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council considered a request for Urban Revitalization Area designation for this same property in July 2005, based on the slum and blight criteria. At that time, one of Council's main concerns was that if this property qualifies, then very many properties in Ames would also meet the criteria. The Council found that the proposal did not meet the intent of the criteria and rejected the request for tax abatement. The owner now is coming before the City Council requesting tax abatement eligibility based on the criteria for underutilization as allowed for in the Criteria Matrix (see Attachment C). Since the owner has committed to meeting the optional criteria for brick and landscaping, the relevant criterion for this request centers on the definition of underutilized. The matrix defines underutilized as properties that are vacant in an infill area that were previously developed and had a principal structure removed. This is a difficult request for which to provide a recommendation since only two of the seven lots in the requested area are vacant at this time. The owner has indicated the remaining buildings in the area in question will be vacated and removed in the future. If the City Council desires to stick to the specific wording of the decision matrix, Alternative #1 should be approved rejecting the owner's request for tax abatement on all seven lots (Phase I & II). Since the area designed on Attachment A as Phase I is vacant, it is technically in compliance with the decision matrix. Therefore, assuming the City Council is supportive of the exact wording of the existing matrix, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve Alternative#3. This action will signify that the Council has determined the area within Phase I only meets the eligibility criteria, will direct staff to prepare an Urban Revitalization Plan, and will set a date of public hearing for January 24, 2006. The City Council members might be concerned that although the letter of the matrix is being met, the original intent of facilitating the revitalization of deteriorated structures and/or properties not being used to their fullest and best use is not. Under the current wording of the matrix, there is no direction as to the length of time a property or structure must be vacant, or the quality of the condition of the structure in order to qualify for underutilization. Almost every property or structure, regardless of its condition, can qualify for tax abatement as the matrix is currently written. If this is a concern of the Council, then Alternative #4 can be approved. This action will reject the current request and direct the staff(as was the case with the definition of slum and blight) to bring back options for revising the decision matrix to ensure that it helps the Council better accomplish the goal of the urban revitalization program.
