2     Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
 
4     Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
5 changing Sections 11-74.4-3 and 11-74.4-7 and by adding Section
6 11-74.4-3.5 as follows:
 
7     (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-3)  (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-3)
8     Sec. 11-74.4-3. Definitions. The following terms, wherever
9 used or referred to in this Division 74.4 shall have the
10 following respective meanings, unless in any case a different
11 meaning clearly appears from the context.
12     (a) For any redevelopment project area that has been
13 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
14 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
15 91-478), "blighted area" shall have the meaning set forth in
16 this Section prior to that date.
17     On and after November 1, 1999, "blighted area" means any
18 improved or vacant area within the boundaries of a
19 redevelopment project area located within the territorial
20 limits of the municipality where:
21         (1) If improved, industrial, commercial, and
22     residential buildings or improvements are detrimental to
23     the public safety, health, or welfare because of a

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 2 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1     combination of 5 or more of the following factors, each of
2     which is (i) present, with that presence documented, to a
3     meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
4     find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
5     of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the
6     improved part of the redevelopment project area:
7             (A) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair
8         or neglect of necessary repairs to the primary
9         structural components of buildings or improvements in
10         such a combination that a documented building
11         condition analysis determines that major repair is
12         required or the defects are so serious and so extensive
13         that the buildings must be removed.
14             (B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of
15         falling into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited
16         for the original use.
17             (C) Deterioration. With respect to buildings,
18         defects including, but not limited to, major defects in
19         the secondary building components such as doors,
20         windows, porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia.
21         With respect to surface improvements, that the
22         condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters,
23         sidewalks, off-street parking, and surface storage
24         areas evidence deterioration, including, but not
25         limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
26         depressions, loose paving material, and weeds

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 3 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1         protruding through paved surfaces.
2             (D) Presence of structures below minimum code
3         standards. All structures that do not meet the
4         standards of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and
5         other governmental codes applicable to property, but
6         not including housing and property maintenance codes.
7             (E) Illegal use of individual structures. The use
8         of structures in violation of applicable federal,
9         State, or local laws, exclusive of those applicable to
10         the presence of structures below minimum code
11         standards.
12             (F) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
13         that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that
14         represent an adverse influence on the area because of
15         the frequency, extent, or duration of the vacancies.
16             (G) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
17         facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for
18         light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without
19         windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor,
20         gas, smoke, or other noxious airborne materials.
21         Inadequate natural light and ventilation means the
22         absence of skylights or windows for interior spaces or
23         rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by room
24         area to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary
25         facilities refers to the absence or inadequacy of
26         garbage storage and enclosure, bathroom facilities,

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 4 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1         hot water and kitchens, and structural inadequacies
2         preventing ingress and egress to and from all rooms and
3         units within a building.
4             (H) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
5         utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
6         sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and
7         electrical services that are shown to be inadequate.
8         Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
9         insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
10         redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated,
11         antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii)
12         lacking within the redevelopment project area.
13             (I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
14         structures and community facilities. The
15         over-intensive use of property and the crowding of
16         buildings and accessory facilities onto a site.
17         Examples of problem conditions warranting the
18         designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive land
19         coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings either
20         improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels of
21         inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
22         standards of development for health and safety and (ii)
23         the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
24         For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
25         these parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
26         conditions: insufficient provision for light and air

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 5 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1         within or around buildings, increased threat of spread
2         of fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack
3         of adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way,
4         lack of reasonably required off-street parking, or
5         inadequate provision for loading and service.
6             (J) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence
7         of incompatible land-use relationships, buildings
8         occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses
9         considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for
10         the surrounding area.
11             (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed
12         redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois
13         Environmental Protection Agency or United States
14         Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for,
15         or a study conducted by an independent consultant
16         recognized as having expertise in environmental
17         remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
18         hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground
19         storage tanks required by State or federal law,
20         provided that the remediation costs constitute a
21         material impediment to the development or
22         redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
23             (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed
24         redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
25         without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.
26         This means that the development occurred prior to the

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 6 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1         adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive or
2         other community plan or that the plan was not followed
3         at the time of the area's development. This factor must
4         be documented by evidence of adverse or incompatible
5         land-use relationships, inadequate street layout,
6         improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and
7         size to meet contemporary development standards, or
8         other evidence demonstrating an absence of effective
9         community planning.
10             (M) The total equalized assessed value of the
11         proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
12         of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
13         the redevelopment project area is designated or is
14         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
15         balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
16         calendar years for which information is available or is
17         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
18         Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
19         by the United States Department of Labor or successor
20         agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the
21         year in which the redevelopment project area is
22         designated.
23         (2) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
24     project area is impaired by a combination of 2 or more of
25     the following factors, each of which is (i) present, with
26     that presence documented, to a meaningful extent so that a

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 7 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1     municipality may reasonably find that the factor is clearly
2     present within the intent of the Act and (ii) reasonably
3     distributed throughout the vacant part of the
4     redevelopment project area to which it pertains:
5             (A) Obsolete platting of vacant land that results
6         in parcels of limited or narrow size or configurations
7         of parcels of irregular size or shape that would be
8         difficult to develop on a planned basis and in a manner
9         compatible with contemporary standards and
10         requirements, or platting that failed to create
11         rights-of-ways for streets or alleys or that created
12         inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys, or
13         other public rights-of-way or that omitted easements
14         for public utilities.
15             (B) Diversity of ownership of parcels of vacant
16         land sufficient in number to retard or impede the
17         ability to assemble the land for development.
18             (C) Tax and special assessment delinquencies exist
19         or the property has been the subject of tax sales under
20         the Property Tax Code within the last 5 years.
21             (D) Deterioration of structures or site
22         improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the
23         vacant land.
24             (E) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
25         Protection Agency or United States Environmental
26         Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 8 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1         conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
2         having expertise in environmental remediation has
3         determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
4         hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
5         required by State or federal law, provided that the
6         remediation costs constitute a material impediment to
7         the development or redevelopment of the redevelopment
8         project area.
9             (F) The total equalized assessed value of the
10         proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
11         of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
12         the redevelopment project area is designated or is
13         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
14         balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
15         calendar years for which information is available or is
16         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
17         Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
18         by the United States Department of Labor or successor
19         agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the
20         year in which the redevelopment project area is
21         designated.
22         (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
23     project area is impaired by one of the following factors
24     that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a
25     meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
26     find that the factor is clearly present within the intent

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 9 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1     of the Act and (ii) is reasonably distributed throughout
2     the vacant part of the redevelopment project area to which
3     it pertains:
4             (A) The area consists of one or more unused
5         quarries, mines, or strip mine ponds.

8             (C) The area, prior to its designation, is subject
9         to (i) chronic flooding that adversely impacts on real
10         property in the area as certified by a registered
11         professional engineer or appropriate regulatory agency
12         or (ii) surface water that discharges from all or a
13         part of the area and contributes to flooding within the
14         same watershed, but only if the redevelopment project
15         provides for facilities or improvements to contribute
16         to the alleviation of all or part of the flooding.
17             (D) The area consists of an unused or illegal
18         disposal site containing earth, stone, building
19         debris, or similar materials that were removed from
20         construction, demolition, excavation, or dredge sites.
21             (E) Prior to November 1, 1999, the area is not less
22         than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75% of which is
23         vacant (notwithstanding that the area has been used for
24         commercial agricultural purposes within 5 years prior
25         to the designation of the redevelopment project area),
26         and the area meets at least one of the factors itemized

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 10 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1         in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the area has been
2         designated as a town or village center by ordinance or
3         comprehensive plan adopted prior to January 1, 1982,
4         and the area has not been developed for that designated
5         purpose.
6             (F) The area qualified as a blighted improved area
7         immediately prior to becoming vacant, unless there has
8         been substantial private investment in the immediately
9         surrounding area.
10     (b) For any redevelopment project area that has been
11 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
12 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
13 91-478), "conservation area" shall have the meaning set forth
14 in this Section prior to that date.
15     On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means
16 any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment
17 project area located within the territorial limits of the
18 municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area
19 have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not yet a
20 blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more of the
21 following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health,
22 morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
23         (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or
24     neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural
25     components of buildings or improvements in such a
26     combination that a documented building condition analysis

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 11 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

2     so serious and so extensive that the buildings must be
3     removed.
4         (2) Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling
5     into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited for the
6     original use.
7         (3) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects

SB2298 Engrossed - 12 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1     that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent an
2     adverse influence on the area because of the frequency,
3     extent, or duration of the vacancies.
4         (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
5     facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for light
6     or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or
7     that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or
8     other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate natural light

SB2298 Engrossed - 13 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1     use of property and the crowding of buildings and accessory
2     facilities onto a site. Examples of problem conditions
3     warranting the designation of an area as one exhibiting
4     excessive land coverage are: the presence of buildings
5     either improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels
6     of inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
7     standards of development for health and safety and the
8     presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel. For
9     there to be a finding of excessive land coverage, these
10     parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
11     conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
12     within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of
13     fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of

22         (11) Lack of community planning. The proposed
23     redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
24     without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This
25     means that the development occurred prior to the adoption
26     by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 14 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1     plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the
2     area's development. This factor must be documented by
3     evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use
4     relationships, inadequate street layout, improper
5     subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet
6     contemporary development standards, or other evidence
7     demonstrating an absence of effective community planning.
8         (12) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
9     Protection Agency or United States Environmental
10     Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
11     conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
12     having expertise in environmental remediation has
13     determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
14     hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
15     required by State or federal law, provided that the
16     remediation costs constitute a material impediment to the

18     area.
19         (13) The total equalized assessed value of the proposed
20     redevelopment project area has declined for 3 of the last 5
21     calendar years for which information is available or is
22     increasing at an annual rate that is less than the balance
23     of the municipality for 3 of the last 5 calendar years for
24     which information is available or is increasing at an
25     annual rate that is less than the Consumer Price Index for

19 ordinance designates the redevelopment project area, and which
20 area includes both vacant land suitable for use as an
21 industrial park and a blighted area or conservation area
22 contiguous to such vacant land.
23     (e) "Labor surplus municipality" means a municipality in
24 which, at any time during the 6 months before the municipality
25 by ordinance designates an industrial park conservation area,

21 Amounts for such taxes and deduct therefrom an amount equal to
22 4% of the aggregate amount of taxes per year for each year the
23 base year is prior to 1985, but not to exceed a total deduction
24 of 12%. The amount so determined shall be known as the

8 Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax
9 Act. For the State Fiscal Year 1989, this calculation shall be
10 made by utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax
11 amounts received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this
12 calculation shall be made by utilizing the period from January
13 1, 1988, until September 30, 1988, to determine the tax amounts
14 received from retailers and servicemen pursuant to the
15 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service

19 Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State Fiscal Year 1991,
20 this calculation shall be made by utilizing the period from

12 $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually generated within
13 a State Sales Tax Boundary; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
14 excess of $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually

19 or issued bonds after January 1, 1986, but before December 31,
20 1986, to finance redevelopment project costs within a State
21 Sales Tax Boundary, then the Net State Sales Tax Increment
22 means, for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990, and July 1,
23 1991, 100% of the State Sales Tax Increment annually generated
24 within a State Sales Tax Boundary; and notwithstanding any

3 whether or not those other municipalities will receive 100% of
4 their Net State Sales Tax Increment. For Fiscal Year 1999, and
5 every year thereafter until the year 2007, for any municipality
6 that has not entered into a contract or has not issued bonds
7 prior to June 1, 1988 to finance redevelopment project costs
8 within a State Sales Tax Boundary, the Net State Sales Tax

13 State Fiscal Year 2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year 2004; 30%
14 in the State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State Fiscal Year
15 2006; and 10% in the State Fiscal Year 2007. No payment shall
16 be made for State Fiscal Year 2008 and thereafter.
17     Municipalities that issued bonds in connection with a
18 redevelopment project in a redevelopment project area within
19 the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991, or that
20 entered into contracts in connection with a redevelopment
21 project in a redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988,
22 shall continue to receive their proportional share of the

3 into contracts in connection with a redevelopment project in a
4 redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988 completes the
5 contracts prior to June 30, 2007, then so long as the
6 redevelopment project is not completed or is not terminated,
7 the Net State Sales Tax Increment shall be calculated,
8 beginning on the date on which the bonds are retired or the
9 contracts are completed, as follows: By multiplying the Net
10 State Sales Tax Increment by 60% in the State Fiscal Year 2002;
11 50% in the State Fiscal Year 2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year
12 2004; 30% in the State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State
13 Fiscal Year 2006; and 10% in the State Fiscal Year 2007. No
14 payment shall be made for State Fiscal Year 2008 and
15 thereafter. Refunding of any bonds issued prior to July 29,
16 1991, shall not alter the Net State Sales Tax Increment.
17     (j) "State Utility Tax Increment Amount" means an amount
18 equal to the aggregate increase in State electric and gas tax
19 charges imposed on owners and tenants, other than residential
20 customers, of properties located within the redevelopment
21 project area under Section 9-222 of the Public Utilities Act,
22 over and above the aggregate of such charges as certified by
23 the Department of Revenue and paid by owners and tenants, other
24 than residential customers, of properties within the

3     (k) "Net State Utility Tax Increment" means the sum of the
4 following: (a) 80% of the first $100,000 of State Utility Tax
5 Increment annually generated by a redevelopment project area;
6 (b) 60% of the amount in excess of $100,000 but not exceeding
7 $500,000 of the State Utility Tax Increment annually generated
8 by a redevelopment project area; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
9 excess of $500,000 of State Utility Tax Increment annually
10 generated by a redevelopment project area. For the State Fiscal
11 Year 1999, and every year thereafter until the year 2007, for
12 any municipality that has not entered into a contract or has
13 not issued bonds prior to June 1, 1988 to finance redevelopment
14 project costs within a redevelopment project area, the Net
15 State Utility Tax Increment shall be calculated as follows: By
16 multiplying the Net State Utility Tax Increment by 90% in the
17 State Fiscal Year 1999; 80% in the State Fiscal Year 2000; 70%
18 in the State Fiscal Year 2001; 60% in the State Fiscal Year

2 appropriation, for 15 State Fiscal Years after the issuance of
3 such bonds. For the 16th through the 20th State Fiscal Years

5 Increment shall be calculated as follows: By multiplying the
6 Net State Utility Tax Increment by 90% in year 16; 80% in year
7 17; 70% in year 18; 60% in year 19; and 50% in year 20.

16 revenues from real property in a redevelopment project area
17 derived from real property that has been acquired by a
18 municipality which according to the redevelopment project or

10     bonds were issued before July 29, 1991, or for which
11     contracts were entered into before June 1, 1988, in
12     connection with a redevelopment project in the area within
13     the State Sales Tax Boundary, the estimated dates of
14     completion of the redevelopment project and retirement of
15     obligations to finance redevelopment project costs may be
16     extended by municipal ordinance to December 31, 2013. The
17     termination procedures of subsection (b) of Section
18     11-74.4-8 are not required for these redevelopment project
19     areas in 2009 but are required in 2013. The extension
20     allowed by this amendatory Act of 1993 shall not apply to
21     real property tax increment allocation financing under
22     Section 11-74.4-8.
23         A municipality may by municipal ordinance amend an
24     existing redevelopment plan to conform to this paragraph
25     (3) as amended by Public Act 91-478, which municipal
26     ordinance may be adopted without further hearing or notice

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 34 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1     and without complying with the procedures provided in this
2     Act pertaining to an amendment to or the initial approval
3     of a redevelopment plan and project and designation of a
4     redevelopment project area.
5         Those dates, for purposes of real property tax
6     increment allocation financing pursuant to Section
7     11-74.4-8 only, shall be not more than 35 years for
8     redevelopment project areas that were adopted on or after
9     December 16, 1986 and for which at least $8 million worth
10     of municipal bonds were authorized on or after December 19,
11     1989 but before January 1, 1990; provided that the
12     municipality elects to extend the life of the redevelopment
13     project area to 35 years by the adoption of an ordinance
14     after at least 14 but not more than 30 days' written notice
15     to the taxing bodies, that would otherwise constitute the
16     joint review board for the redevelopment project area,
17     before the adoption of the ordinance.
18         Those dates, for purposes of real property tax
19     increment allocation financing pursuant to Section
20     11-74.4-8 only, shall be not more than 35 years for
21     redevelopment project areas that were established on or
22     after December 1, 1981 but before January 1, 1982 and for
23     which at least $1,500,000 worth of tax increment revenue
24     bonds were authorized on or after September 30, 1990 but
25     before July 1, 1991; provided that the municipality elects
26     to extend the life of the redevelopment project area to 35

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 35 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1     years by the adoption of an ordinance after at least 14 but
2     not more than 30 days' written notice to the taxing bodies,
3     that would otherwise constitute the joint review board for
4     the redevelopment project area, before the adoption of the
5     ordinance.
6         (3.5) The municipality finds, in the case of an
7     industrial park conservation area, also that the
8     municipality is a labor surplus municipality and that the
9     implementation of the redevelopment plan will reduce
10     unemployment, create new jobs and by the provision of new
11     facilities enhance the tax base of the taxing districts
12     that extend into the redevelopment project area.
13         (4) If any incremental revenues are being utilized
14     under Section 8(a)(1) or 8(a)(2) of this Act in
15     redevelopment project areas approved by ordinance after
16     January 1, 1986, the municipality finds: (a) that the
17     redevelopment project area would not reasonably be
18     developed without the use of such incremental revenues, and
19     (b) that such incremental revenues will be exclusively
20     utilized for the development of the redevelopment project
21     area.
22         (5) If the redevelopment plan will not result in
23     displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
24     residential units, and the municipality certifies in the
25     plan that such displacement will not result from the plan,
26     a housing impact study need not be performed. If, however,

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 36 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1     the redevelopment plan would result in the displacement of
2     residents from 10 or more inhabited residential units, or
3     if the redevelopment project area contains 75 or more
4     inhabited residential units and no certification is made,
5     then the municipality shall prepare, as part of the
6     separate feasibility report required by subsection (a) of
7     Section 11-74.4-5, a housing impact study.
8         Part I of the housing impact study shall include (i)
9     data as to whether the residential units are single family
10     or multi-family units, (ii) the number and type of rooms
11     within the units, if that information is available, (iii)
12     whether the units are inhabited or uninhabited, as
13     determined not less than 45 days before the date that the
14     ordinance or resolution required by subsection (a) of
15     Section 11-74.4-5 is passed, and (iv) data as to the racial
16     and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited
17     residential units. The data requirement as to the racial
18     and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited
19     residential units shall be deemed to be fully satisfied by
20     data from the most recent federal census.
21         Part II of the housing impact study shall identify the
22     inhabited residential units in the proposed redevelopment
23     project area that are to be or may be removed. If inhabited
24     residential units are to be removed, then the housing
25     impact study shall identify (i) the number and location of
26     those units that will or may be removed, (ii) the

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 37 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1     municipality's plans for relocation assistance for those
2     residents in the proposed redevelopment project area whose
3     residences are to be removed, (iii) the availability of
4     replacement housing for those residents whose residences
5     are to be removed, and shall identify the type, location,
6     and cost of the housing, and (iv) the type and extent of
7     relocation assistance to be provided.
8         (6) On and after November 1, 1999, the housing impact
9     study required by paragraph (5) shall be incorporated in
10     the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment project area.
11         (7) On and after November 1, 1999, no redevelopment
12     plan shall be adopted, nor an existing plan amended, nor
13     shall residential housing that is occupied by households of
14     low-income and very low-income persons in currently
15     existing redevelopment project areas be removed after
16     November 1, 1999 unless the redevelopment plan provides,
17     with respect to inhabited housing units that are to be
18     removed for households of low-income and very low-income
19     persons, affordable housing and relocation assistance not
20     less than that which would be provided under the federal
21     Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
22     Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and the regulations under
23     that Act, including the eligibility criteria. Affordable
24     housing may be either existing or newly constructed
25     housing. For purposes of this paragraph (7), "low-income
26     households", "very low-income households", and "affordable

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 38 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1     housing" have the meanings set forth in the Illinois
2     Affordable Housing Act. The municipality shall make a good
3     faith effort to ensure that this affordable housing is
4     located in or near the redevelopment project area within
5     the municipality.
6         (8) On and after November 1, 1999, if, after the
7     adoption of the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment
8     project area, any municipality desires to amend its
9     redevelopment plan to remove more inhabited residential
10     units than specified in its original redevelopment plan,
11     that change shall be made in accordance with the procedures
12     in subsection (c) of Section 11-74.4-5.
13         (9) For redevelopment project areas designated prior
14     to November 1, 1999, the redevelopment plan may be amended
15     without further joint review board meeting or hearing,
16     provided that the municipality shall give notice of any
17     such changes by mail to each affected taxing district and
18     registrant on the interested party registry, to authorize
19     the municipality to expend tax increment revenues for
20     redevelopment project costs defined by paragraphs (5) and
21     (7.5), subparagraphs (E) and (F) of paragraph (11), and
22     paragraph (11.5) of subsection (q) of Section 11-74.4-3, so
23     long as the changes do not increase the total estimated
24     redevelopment project costs set out in the redevelopment
25     plan by more than 5% after adjustment for inflation from
26     the date the plan was adopted.

20     area with respect to which the consultant or advisor has
21     performed, or will be performing, service for the
22     municipality. This requirement shall be satisfied by the
23     consultant or advisor before the commencement of services

1         (1.5) After July 1, 1999, annual administrative costs
2     shall not include general overhead or administrative costs
3     of the municipality that would still have been incurred by

17     need for public safety purposes anticipated to result from
18     the implementation of the redevelopment plan;
19         (5) Costs of job training and retraining projects,

1         the redevelopment project area or projects;
2         (7.7) For redevelopment project areas designated (or
3     redevelopment project areas amended to add or increase the
4     number of tax-increment-financing assisted housing units)
5     on or after January 1, 2005 (the effective date of Public
6     Act 93-961), a public library district's increased costs
7     attributable to assisted housing units located within the
8     redevelopment project area for which the developer or
9     redeveloper receives financial assistance through an
10     agreement with the municipality or because the
11     municipality incurs the cost of necessary infrastructure
12     improvements within the boundaries of the assisted housing
13     sites necessary for the completion of that housing as
14     authorized by this Act shall be paid to the library
15     district by the municipality from the Special Tax
16     Allocation Fund when the tax increment revenue is received
17     as a result of the assisted housing units. This paragraph
18     (7.7) applies only if (i) the library district is located
19     in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension
20     Limitation Law or (ii) the library district is not located
21     in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension
22     Limitation Law but the district is prohibited by any other
23     law from increasing its tax levy rate without a prior voter
24     referendum.
25         The amount paid to a library district under this
26     paragraph (7.7) shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the

1     net increase in the number of persons eligible to obtain a
2     library card in that district who reside in housing units
3     within the redevelopment project area that have received
4     financial assistance through an agreement with the
5     municipality or because the municipality incurs the cost of
6     necessary infrastructure improvements within the
7     boundaries of the housing sites necessary for the
8     completion of that housing as authorized by this Act since
9     the designation of the redevelopment project area by (ii)
10     the per-patron cost of providing library services so long
11     as it does not exceed $120. The per-patron cost shall be
12     the Total Operating Expenditures Per Capita as stated in
13     the most recent Illinois Public Library Statistics
14     produced by the Library Research Center at the University
15     of Illinois. The municipality may deduct from the amount
16     that it must pay to a library district under this paragraph
17     any amount that it has voluntarily paid to the library
18     district from the tax increment revenue. The amount paid to
19     a library district under this paragraph (7.7) shall be no
20     more than 2% of the amount produced by the assisted housing
21     units and deposited into the Special Tax Allocation Fund.
22         A library district is not eligible for any payment

9     year, it shall forfeit any claim to reimbursement for that
10     year. Library districts may adopt a resolution waiving the
11     right to all or a portion of the reimbursement otherwise

1     by one or more taxing districts, provided that such costs
2     (i) are related to the establishment and maintenance of
3     additional job training, advanced vocational education or
4     career education programs for persons employed or to be
5     employed by employers located in a redevelopment project
6     area; and (ii) when incurred by a taxing district or taxing
7     districts other than the municipality, are set forth in a
8     written agreement by or among the municipality and the
9     taxing district or taxing districts, which agreement
10     describes the program to be undertaken, including but not
11     limited to the number of employees to be trained, a
12     description of the training and services to be provided,
13     the number and type of positions available or to be

15     funds to pay for the same, and the term of the agreement.
16     Such costs include, specifically, the payment by community

SB2298 Engrossed - 52 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1             (B) such payments in any one year may not exceed
2         30% of the annual interest costs incurred by the
3         redeveloper with regard to the redevelopment project
4         during that year;
5             (C) if there are not sufficient funds available in
6         the special tax allocation fund to make the payment
7         pursuant to this paragraph (11) then the amounts so due
8         shall accrue and be payable when sufficient funds are
9         available in the special tax allocation fund;
10             (D) the total of such interest payments paid
11         pursuant to this Act may not exceed 30% of the total
12         (i) cost paid or incurred by the redeveloper for the
13         redevelopment project plus (ii) redevelopment project
14         costs excluding any property assembly costs and any
15         relocation costs incurred by a municipality pursuant
16         to this Act; and
17             (E) the cost limits set forth in subparagraphs (B)
18         and (D) of paragraph (11) shall be modified for the
19         financing of rehabilitated or new housing units for
20         low-income households and very low-income households,

22         Housing Act. The percentage of 75% shall be substituted
23         for 30% in subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (11).
24             (F) Instead of the eligible costs provided by
25         subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (11), as

SB2298 Engrossed - 53 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1         other provisions of this Act to the contrary, the
2         municipality may pay from tax increment revenues up to
3         50% of the cost of construction of new housing units to
4         be occupied by low-income households and very
5         low-income households as defined in Section 3 of the
6         Illinois Affordable Housing Act. The cost of
7         construction of those units may be derived from the
8         proceeds of bonds issued by the municipality under this
9         Act or other constitutional or statutory authority or
10         from other sources of municipal revenue that may be
11         reimbursed from tax increment revenues or the proceeds
12         of bonds issued to finance the construction of that
13         housing.
14             The eligible costs provided under this
15         subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11) shall be an eligible
16         cost for the construction, renovation, and
17         rehabilitation of all low and very low-income housing
18         units, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois
19         Affordable Housing Act, within the redevelopment
20         project area. If the low and very low-income units are
21         part of a residential redevelopment project that
22         includes units not affordable to low and very
23         low-income households, only the low and very
24         low-income units shall be eligible for benefits under
25         subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11). The standards for
26         maintaining the occupancy by low-income households and

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 54 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1         very low-income households, as defined in Section 3 of
2         the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, of those units
3         constructed with eligible costs made available under
4         the provisions of this subparagraph (F) of paragraph
5         (11) shall be established by guidelines adopted by the
6         municipality. The responsibility for annually
7         documenting the initial occupancy of the units by
8         low-income households and very low-income households,
9         as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable
10         Housing Act, shall be that of the then current owner of
11         the property. For ownership units, the guidelines will
12         provide, at a minimum, for a reasonable recapture of
13         funds, or other appropriate methods designed to
14         preserve the original affordability of the ownership
15         units. For rental units, the guidelines will provide,
16         at a minimum, for the affordability of rent to low and
17         very low-income households. As units become available,
18         they shall be rented to income-eligible tenants. The
19         municipality may modify these guidelines from time to
20         time; the guidelines, however, shall be in effect for
21         as long as tax increment revenue is being used to pay
22         for costs associated with the units or for the
23         retirement of bonds issued to finance the units or for
24         the life of the redevelopment project area, whichever
25         is later.
26         (11.5) If the redevelopment project area is located

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 55 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1     within a municipality with a population of more than
2     100,000, the cost of day care services for children of
3     employees from low-income families working for businesses
4     located within the redevelopment project area and all or a
5     portion of the cost of operation of day care centers
6     established by redevelopment project area businesses to
7     serve employees from low-income families working in
8     businesses located in the redevelopment project area. For
9     the purposes of this paragraph, "low-income families"
10     means families whose annual income does not exceed 80% of
11     the municipal, county, or regional median income, adjusted
12     for family size, as the annual income and municipal,
13     county, or regional median income are determined from time
14     to time by the United States Department of Housing and
15     Urban Development.
16         (12) Unless explicitly stated herein the cost of
17     construction of new privately-owned buildings shall not be
18     an eligible redevelopment project cost.
19         (13) After November 1, 1999 (the effective date of
20     Public Act 91-478), none of the redevelopment project costs
21     enumerated in this subsection shall be eligible
22     redevelopment project costs if those costs would provide
23     direct financial support to a retail entity initiating
24     operations in the redevelopment project area while
25     terminating operations at another Illinois location within
26     10 miles of the redevelopment project area but outside the

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 56 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1     boundaries of the redevelopment project area municipality.
2     For purposes of this paragraph, termination means a closing
3     of a retail operation that is directly related to the
4     opening of the same operation or like retail entity owned
5     or operated by more than 50% of the original ownership in a
6     redevelopment project area, but it does not mean closing an
7     operation for reasons beyond the control of the retail
8     entity, as documented by the retail entity, subject to a
9     reasonable finding by the municipality that the current
10     location contained inadequate space, had become
11     economically obsolete, or was no longer a viable location
12     for the retailer or serviceman.
13     If a special service area has been established pursuant to
14 the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special Service Area Tax
15 Law, then any tax increment revenues derived from the tax
16 imposed pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special
17 Service Area Tax Law may be used within the redevelopment
18 project area for the purposes permitted by that Act or Law as
19 well as the purposes permitted by this Act.
20     (r) "State Sales Tax Boundary" means the redevelopment
21 project area or the amended redevelopment project area

25 appropriate boundaries eligible for the determination of State
26 Sales Tax Increment.

3 and servicemen, other than retailers and servicemen subject to
4 the Public Utilities Act, on transactions at places of business
5 located within a State Sales Tax Boundary pursuant to the
6 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Use
7 Tax Act, and the Service Occupation Tax Act, except such
8 portion of such increase that is paid into the State and Local
9 Sales Tax Reform Fund, the Local Government Distributive Fund,
10 the Local Government Tax Fund and the County and Mass Transit
11 District Fund, for as long as State participation exists, over
12 and above the Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales
13 Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts for such
14 taxes as certified by the Department of Revenue and paid under
15 those Acts by retailers and servicemen on transactions at
16 places of business located within the State Sales Tax Boundary
17 during the base year which shall be the calendar year
18 immediately prior to the year in which the municipality adopted
19 tax increment allocation financing, less 3.0% of such amounts
20 generated under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Use Tax Act
21 and Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act,
22 which sum shall be appropriated to the Department of Revenue to

24 For purposes of computing the aggregate amount of such taxes
25 for base years occurring prior to 1985, the Department of
26 Revenue shall compute the Initial Sales Tax Amount for such

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 58 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1 taxes and deduct therefrom an amount equal to 4% of the
2 aggregate amount of taxes per year for each year the base year
3 is prior to 1985, but not to exceed a total deduction of 12%.
4 The amount so determined shall be known as the "Adjusted

9 Sales Tax Boundary, the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts,
10 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or Revised Initial Sales Tax
11 Amounts for the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act,
12 the Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act. For
13 the State Fiscal Year 1989 this calculation shall be made by
14 utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax amounts
15 received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this calculation
16 shall be made by utilizing the period from January 1, 1988,
17 until September 30, 1988, to determine the tax amounts received
18 from retailers and servicemen, which shall have deducted
19 therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax
20 Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
21 Initial Sales Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State Fiscal
22 Year 1991, this calculation shall be made by utilizing the
23 period from October 1, 1988, until June 30, 1989, to determine
24 the tax amounts received from retailers and servicemen, which
25 shall have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified
26 Initial State Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 59 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1 Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts as
2 appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year thereafter, the
3 applicable period shall be the 12 months beginning July 1 and
4 ending on June 30, to determine the tax amounts received which
5 shall have deducted therefrom the certified Initial Sales Tax
6 Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
7 Initial Sales Tax Amounts. Municipalities intending to receive
8 a distribution of State Sales Tax Increment must report a list
9 of retailers to the Department of Revenue by October 31, 1988
10 and by July 31, of each year thereafter.

15 and any other municipal corporations or districts with the
16 power to levy taxes.
17     (u) "Taxing districts' capital costs" means those costs of
18 taxing districts for capital improvements that are found by the
19 municipal corporate authorities to be necessary and directly

22 Act, "vacant land" means any parcel or combination of parcels
23 of real property without industrial, commercial, and
24 residential buildings which has not been used for commercial
25 agricultural purposes within 5 years prior to the designation
26 of the redevelopment project area, unless the parcel is

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 60 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1 included in an industrial park conservation area or the parcel
2 has been subdivided; provided that if the parcel was part of a
3 larger tract that has been divided into 3 or more smaller
4 tracts that were accepted for recording during the period from
5 1950 to 1990, then the parcel shall be deemed to have been
6 subdivided, and all proceedings and actions of the municipality
7 taken in that connection with respect to any previously
8 approved or designated redevelopment project area or amended
9 redevelopment project area are hereby validated and hereby
10 declared to be legally sufficient for all purposes of this Act.
11 For purposes of this Section and only for land subject to the
12 subdivision requirements of the Plat Act, land is subdivided
13 when the original plat of the proposed Redevelopment Project
14 Area or relevant portion thereof has been properly certified,
15 acknowledged, approved, and recorded or filed in accordance
16 with the Plat Act and a preliminary plat, if any, for any
17 subsequent phases of the proposed Redevelopment Project Area or
18 relevant portion thereof has been properly approved and filed
19 in accordance with the applicable ordinance of the
20 municipality.
21     (w) "Annual Total Increment" means the sum of each
22 municipality's annual Net Sales Tax Increment and each

4     (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-7)  (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-7)
5     Sec. 11-74.4-7. Obligations secured by the special tax
6 allocation fund set forth in Section 11-74.4-8 for the
7 redevelopment project area may be issued to provide for
8 redevelopment project costs. Such obligations, when so issued,
9 shall be retired in the manner provided in the ordinance
10 authorizing the issuance of such obligations by the receipts of
11 taxes levied as specified in Section 11-74.4-9 against the
12 taxable property included in the area, by revenues as specified
13 by Section 11-74.4-8a and other revenue designated by the
14 municipality. A municipality may in the ordinance pledge all or
15 any part of the funds in and to be deposited in the special tax
16 allocation fund created pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8 to the
17 payment of the redevelopment project costs and obligations. Any
18 pledge of funds in the special tax allocation fund shall
19 provide for distribution to the taxing districts and to the
20 Illinois Department of Revenue of moneys not required, pledged,
21 earmarked, or otherwise designated for payment and securing of
22 the obligations and anticipated redevelopment project costs
23 and such excess funds shall be calculated annually and deemed
24 to be "surplus" funds. In the event a municipality only applies
25 or pledges a portion of the funds in the special tax allocation

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 71 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1 fund for the payment or securing of anticipated redevelopment
2 project costs or of obligations, any such funds remaining in
3 the special tax allocation fund after complying with the
4 requirements of the application or pledge, shall also be
5 calculated annually and deemed "surplus" funds. All surplus
6 funds in the special tax allocation fund shall be distributed
7 annually within 180 days after the close of the municipality's
8 fiscal year by being paid by the municipal treasurer to the
9 County Collector, to the Department of Revenue and to the
10 municipality in direct proportion to the tax incremental
11 revenue received as a result of an increase in the equalized
12 assessed value of property in the redevelopment project area,
13 tax incremental revenue received from the State and tax
14 incremental revenue received from the municipality, but not to
15 exceed as to each such source the total incremental revenue
16 received from that source. The County Collector shall
17 thereafter make distribution to the respective taxing
18 districts in the same manner and proportion as the most recent
19 distribution by the county collector to the affected districts
20 of real property taxes from real property in the redevelopment
21 project area.
22     Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the
23 municipality may in addition to obligations secured by the
24 special tax allocation fund pledge for a period not greater
25 than the term of the obligations towards payment of such
26 obligations any part or any combination of the following: (a)

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 72 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1 net revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project; (b)
2 taxes levied and collected on any or all property in the
3 municipality; (c) the full faith and credit of the
4 municipality; (d) a mortgage on part or all of the
5 redevelopment project; or (e) any other taxes or anticipated
6 receipts that the municipality may lawfully pledge.
7     Such obligations may be issued in one or more series
8 bearing interest at such rate or rates as the corporate
9 authorities of the municipality shall determine by ordinance.
10 Such obligations shall bear such date or dates, mature at such
11 time or times not exceeding 20 years from their respective
12 dates, be in such denomination, carry such registration
13 privileges, be executed in such manner, be payable in such
14 medium of payment at such place or places, contain such
15 covenants, terms and conditions, and be subject to redemption
16 as such ordinance shall provide. Obligations issued pursuant to
17 this Act may be sold at public or private sale at such price as
18 shall be determined by the corporate authorities of the
19 municipalities. No referendum approval of the electors shall be
20 required as a condition to the issuance of obligations pursuant
21 to this Division except as provided in this Section.
22     In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
23 obligations pursuant to the authority of this Division secured
24 by the full faith and credit of the municipality, which
25 obligations are other than obligations which may be issued
26 under home rule powers provided by Article VII, Section 6 of

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 73 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1 the Illinois Constitution, or pledges taxes pursuant to (b) or
2 (c) of the second paragraph of this section, the ordinance
3 authorizing the issuance of such obligations or pledging such
4 taxes shall be published within 10 days after such ordinance
5 has been passed in one or more newspapers, with general
6 circulation within such municipality. The publication of the
7 ordinance shall be accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific
8 number of voters required to sign a petition requesting the
9 question of the issuance of such obligations or pledging taxes
10 to be submitted to the electors; (2) the time in which such
11 petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective
12 referendum. The municipal clerk shall provide a petition form
13 to any individual requesting one.
14     If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as
15 hereinafter provided in this Section, within 30 days after the
16 publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in effect.
17 But, if within that 30 day period a petition is filed with the
18 municipal clerk, signed by electors in the municipality
19 numbering 10% or more of the number of registered voters in the
20 municipality, asking that the question of issuing obligations
21 using full faith and credit of the municipality as security for
22 the cost of paying for redevelopment project costs, or of
23 pledging taxes for the payment of such obligations, or both, be
24 submitted to the electors of the municipality, the corporate
25 authorities of the municipality shall call a special election
26 in the manner provided by law to vote upon that question, or,

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 74 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1 if a general, State or municipal election is to be held within
2 a period of not less than 30 or more than 90 days from the date
3 such petition is filed, shall submit the question at the next
4 general, State or municipal election. If it appears upon the
5 canvass of the election by the corporate authorities that a
6 majority of electors voting upon the question voted in favor
7 thereof, the ordinance shall be in effect, but if a majority of
8 the electors voting upon the question are not in favor thereof,
9 the ordinance shall not take effect.
10     The ordinance authorizing the obligations may provide that
11 the obligations shall contain a recital that they are issued
12 pursuant to this Division, which recital shall be conclusive
13 evidence of their validity and of the regularity of their
14 issuance.
15     In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
16 obligations pursuant to this Section secured by the full faith
17 and credit of the municipality, the ordinance authorizing the
18 obligations may provide for the levy and collection of a direct
19 annual tax upon all taxable property within the municipality
20 sufficient to pay the principal thereof and interest thereon as
21 it matures, which levy may be in addition to and exclusive of
22 the maximum of all other taxes authorized to be levied by the
23 municipality, which levy, however, shall be abated to the
24 extent that monies from other sources are available for payment
25 of the obligations and the municipality certifies the amount of
26 said monies available to the county clerk.

 

 

SB2298 Engrossed - 75 - LRB095 19488 BDD 45784 b

1     A certified copy of such ordinance shall be filed with the
2 county clerk of each county in which any portion of the
3 municipality is situated, and shall constitute the authority
4 for the extension and collection of the taxes to be deposited
5 in the special tax allocation fund.
6     A municipality may also issue its obligations to refund in
7 whole or in part, obligations theretofore issued by such
8 municipality under the authority of this Act, whether at or
9 prior to maturity, provided however, that the last maturity of
10 the refunding obligations may not be later than the dates set
11 forth under Section 11-74.4-3.5. shall not be expressed to
12 mature later than December 31 of the year in which the payment
13 to the municipal treasurer as provided in subsection (b) of
14 Section 11-74.4-8 of this Act is to be made with respect to ad
