14designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
15prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
1691-478), "blighted area" shall have the meaning set forth in
17this Section prior to that date.
18    On and after November 1, 1999, "blighted area" means any
19improved or vacant area within the boundaries of a
20redevelopment project area located within the territorial
21limits of the municipality where:
22        (1) If improved, industrial, commercial, and
23    residential buildings or improvements are detrimental to

 

 

SB2562 Enrolled- 2 -LRB099 17003 HLH 41355 b

1    the public safety, health, or welfare because of a
2    combination of 5 or more of the following factors, each of
3    which is (i) present, with that presence documented, to a
4    meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
5    find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
6    of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the
7    improved part of the redevelopment project area:
8            (A) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair
9        or neglect of necessary repairs to the primary
10        structural components of buildings or improvements in
11        such a combination that a documented building
12        condition analysis determines that major repair is
13        required or the defects are so serious and so extensive
14        that the buildings must be removed.
15            (B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of
16        falling into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited
17        for the original use.

22        With respect to surface improvements, that the
23        condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters,
24        sidewalks, off-street parking, and surface storage
25        areas evidence deterioration, including, but not
26        limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,

13            (F) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
14        that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that
15        represent an adverse influence on the area because of
16        the frequency, extent, or duration of the vacancies.
17            (G) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
18        facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for
19        light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without
20        windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor,
21        gas, smoke, or other noxious airborne materials.
22        Inadequate natural light and ventilation means the
23        absence of skylights or windows for interior spaces or
24        rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by room
25        area to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary
26        facilities refers to the absence or inadequacy of

 

 

SB2562 Enrolled- 4 -LRB099 17003 HLH 41355 b

1        garbage storage and enclosure, bathroom facilities,
2        hot water and kitchens, and structural inadequacies
3        preventing ingress and egress to and from all rooms and
4        units within a building.
5            (H) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
6        utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
7        sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and
8        electrical services that are shown to be inadequate.
9        Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
10        insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
11        redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated,
12        antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii)
13        lacking within the redevelopment project area.
14            (I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of

16        over-intensive use of property and the crowding of
17        buildings and accessory facilities onto a site.
18        Examples of problem conditions warranting the
19        designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive land
20        coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings either
21        improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels of
22        inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
23        standards of development for health and safety and (ii)
24        the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
25        For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
26        these parcels must exhibit one or more of the following

 

 

SB2562 Enrolled- 5 -LRB099 17003 HLH 41355 b

1        conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
2        within or around buildings, increased threat of spread
3        of fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack

10        considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for
11        the surrounding area.
12            (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed
13        redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois
14        Environmental Protection Agency or United States
15        Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for,
16        or a study conducted by an independent consultant
17        recognized as having expertise in environmental
18        remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
19        hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground
20        storage tanks required by State or federal law,
21        provided that the remediation costs constitute a
22        material impediment to the development or
23        redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
24            (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed
25        redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
26        without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.

 

 

SB2562 Enrolled- 6 -LRB099 17003 HLH 41355 b

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

 

 

SB2562 Enrolled- 7 -LRB099 17003 HLH 41355 b

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

 

 

SB2562 Enrolled- 8 -LRB099 17003 HLH 41355 b

1        Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
2        conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
3        having expertise in environmental remediation has
4        determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
5        hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
6        required by State or federal law, provided that the
7        remediation costs constitute a material impediment to
8        the development or redevelopment of the redevelopment
9        project area.
10            (F) 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        (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
24    project area is impaired by one of the following factors
25    that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a
26    meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably

 

 

SB2562 Enrolled- 9 -LRB099 17003 HLH 41355 b

1    find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
2    of the Act and (ii) is reasonably distributed throughout

10        to (i) chronic flooding that adversely impacts on real
11        property in the area as certified by a registered
12        professional engineer or appropriate regulatory agency
13        or (ii) surface water that discharges from all or a
14        part of the area and contributes to flooding within the

4        comprehensive plan adopted prior to January 1, 1982,
5        and the area has not been developed for that designated
6        purpose.
7            (F) The area qualified as a blighted improved area
8        immediately prior to becoming vacant, unless there has
9        been substantial private investment in the immediately
10        surrounding area.
11    (b) For any redevelopment project area that has been
12designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
13prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
1491-478), "conservation area" shall have the meaning set forth
15in this Section prior to that date.
16    On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means
17any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment
18project area located within the territorial limits of the
19municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area

21blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more of the
22following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health,
23morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
24        (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or

10    year, it shall forfeit any claim to reimbursement for that
11    year. Library districts may adopt a resolution waiving the

4        50% of the cost of construction of new housing units to
5        be occupied by low-income households and very
6        low-income households as defined in Section 3 of the

8        construction of those units may be derived from the
9        proceeds of bonds issued by the municipality under this
10        Act or other constitutional or statutory authority or
11        from other sources of municipal revenue that may be
12        reimbursed from tax increment revenues or the proceeds

22        part of a residential redevelopment project that
23        includes units not affordable to low and very
24        low-income households, only the low and very
25        low-income units shall be eligible for benefits under

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

6to and when collected shall be paid to the municipal treasurer
7who shall deposit said taxes into a special fund called the

12taxes that provides for one or more of the installments of the
13taxes to be billed and collected on an estimated basis, the

2following conditions are met:
3        (1) The total equalized assessed value of the
4    redevelopment project area as last determined was not less
5    than 175% of the total initial equalized assessed value.
6        (2) Not more than 50% of the total equalized assessed
7    value of the redevelopment project area as last determined

2made by a county with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants that has
3adopted an estimated billing procedure for collecting taxes. If
4a county that has adopted the estimated billing procedure makes
5an erroneous overpayment of tax revenue to the municipal
6treasurer, then the county may seek a refund of that
7overpayment. The county shall send the municipal treasurer a
8notice of liability for the overpayment on or before the
9mailing date of the next real estate tax bill within the
10county. The refund shall be limited to the amount of the
11overpayment.

14valorem tax arising from levies on taxable real property be
15included in the determination of incremental revenue in the
16manner provided in paragraph (c) of Section 11-74.4-9. If the
17municipality does not extend such a tax, it shall annually
18deposit in the municipality's Special Tax Increment Fund an
19amount equal to 10% of the total contributions to the fund from
20all other taxing districts in that year. The annual 10% deposit
21required by this paragraph shall be limited to the actual
22amount of municipally produced incremental tax revenues
23available to the municipality from taxpayers located in the
24redevelopment project area in that year if: (a) the plan for
25the area restricts the use of the property primarily to
26industrial purposes, (b) the municipality establishing the

1redevelopment project area is a home-rule community with a 1990
2population of between 25,000 and 50,000, (c) the municipality
3is wholly located within a county with a 1990 population of
4over 750,000 and (d) the redevelopment project area was
5established by the municipality prior to June 1, 1990. This
6payment shall be in lieu of a contribution of ad valorem taxes
7on real property. If no such payment is made, any redevelopment
8project area of the municipality shall be dissolved.
9    If a municipality has adopted tax increment allocation
10financing by ordinance and the County Clerk thereafter
11certifies the "total initial equalized assessed value as
12adjusted" of the taxable real property within such
13redevelopment project area in the manner provided in paragraph
14(b) of Section 11-74.4-9, each year after the date of the
15certification of the total initial equalized assessed value as
16adjusted until redevelopment project costs and all municipal
17obligations financing redevelopment project costs have been
18paid the ad valorem taxes, if any, arising from the levies upon

13    county collector to the respective affected taxing
14    districts in the manner required by law in the absence of
15    the adoption of tax increment allocation financing.
16        (2) That portion, if any, of such taxes which is
17    attributable to the increase in the current equalized
18    assessed valuation of each taxable lot, block, tract, or

4    thereof.
5    The municipality may pledge in the ordinance the funds in
6and to be deposited in the special tax allocation fund for the
7payment of such costs and obligations. No part of the current
8equalized assessed valuation of each property in the
9redevelopment project area attributable to any increase above
10the total initial equalized assessed value, or the total
11initial equalized assessed value as adjusted, of such
12properties shall be used in calculating the general State
13school aid formula, provided for in Section 18-8 of the School
14Code, until such time as all redevelopment project costs have
15been paid as provided for in this Section.
16    Whenever a municipality issues bonds for the purpose of
17financing redevelopment project costs, such municipality may
18provide by ordinance for the appointment of a trustee, which
19may be any trust company within the State, and for the
20establishment of such funds or accounts to be maintained by
21such trustee as the municipality shall deem necessary to
22provide for the security and payment of the bonds. If such
23municipality provides for the appointment of a trustee, such
24trustee shall be considered the assignee of any payments
25assigned by the municipality pursuant to such ordinance and
26this Section. Any amounts paid to such trustee as assignee

2pursuant to such trust agreement, and shall be held by such
3trustee in trust for the benefit of the holders of the bonds,
4and such holders shall have a lien on and a security interest
5in such funds or accounts so long as the bonds remain
6outstanding and unpaid. Upon retirement of the bonds, the
7trustee shall pay over any excess amounts held to the
8municipality for deposit in the special tax allocation fund.
9    When such redevelopment projects costs, including without
10limitation all municipal obligations financing redevelopment
11project costs incurred under this Division, have been paid, all
12surplus funds then remaining in the special tax allocation fund
13shall be distributed by being paid by the municipal treasurer
14to the Department of Revenue, the municipality and the county
15collector; first to the Department of Revenue and the
16municipality in direct proportion to the tax incremental
17revenue received from the State and the municipality, but not
18to exceed the total incremental revenue received from the State
19or the municipality less any annual surplus distribution of
20incremental revenue previously made; with any remaining funds
21to be paid to the County Collector who shall immediately
22thereafter pay said funds to the taxing districts in the
23redevelopment project area in the same manner and proportion as
24the most recent distribution by the county collector to the
25affected districts of real property taxes from real property in
26the redevelopment project area.

4and records of the redevelopment project area, the municipality
5shall adopt an ordinance dissolving the special tax allocation
6fund for the redevelopment project area and terminating the
7designation of the redevelopment project area as a

12the municipality after the redevelopment project area has been
13terminated. Municipalities shall notify affected taxing
14districts prior to November 1 if the redevelopment project area
15is to be terminated by December 31 of that same year. If a
16municipality extends estimated dates of completion of a
