RESOLUTION AMENDING CITYWIDE URBAN
REVITALIZATION AREA PLAN BOUNDARIES
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, City Council approved an Urban Revitalization Area (URA) and Plan on
April 23, 2024, to incentivize the construction of new ownership housing. The URA designation
applies city-wide to eligible new residential construction meeting the Plan's requirements to be
"Qualified Real Estate;” and,
WHEREAS, staff has prepared an amendment to the URA boundaries to include a recently
annexed area of land along N 500th Avenue, north of Lincoln Way and south of Ontario. The URA
Plan acknowledges that when the City annexes additional lands, an amendment to the Plan is
required to incorporate the new lands into the URA boundaries. This process is outlined in Iowa
Code Chapter 404. The proposed amendment to the boundaries will ensure they reflect all areas
annexed into the City through December 31, 2024.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that amending the Citywide Urban Revitalization Area Plan boundaries to include property that
has been annexed to the City through December 31, 2024, is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 17th day of December, 2024.
