4. EDC 2018-20 Economic Development Report for February 2018
Ms. Dubajic reported the following:
1. Owners of restaurant “1836” notified city of their immediate closure, plan to
reopen with a new concept and new signage
2. Owner of banquet hall on Stagecoach has gotten building permit for exterior
3. Idea Marketing and Subway have left Fountain Village development Lower rents
might encourage tenancy.
4. Owner of Kendall Marketplace has requested larger signs due to Rt. 34 expansion,
working with potential junior box store that wishes to be on the signs. Another
fashion store looking at this area. Residential building has also begun on the
nearby lots.
5. Chicago Fire coming to Go For It Sports to hold free camps, dates to be
announced.
5. EDC 2018-21 Kendall Marketplace SSA Amendment
Ms. Noble said this amendment revises the SSA since some lots had been erroneously
included. Attorney Orr has drafted the ordinance and it is recommended to move this
forward to the March 13th Council consent agenda.
6. EDC 2018-22 Warpinski – Walker Road Rezoning – 1.5 Mile Review
Mr. Engberg said the County had notified the city of a rezoning request on a 7-acre parcel
on Walker Road from A-1 to R-1 and requires the 1.5 Mile Review. The ITEP Plan
shows trails and the County and property owners were made aware. This matter moves
to the Planning and Zoning Commission on March 14 and the committee was OK with
this request.
Old Business
1. EDC 2018-15 Developer Deposit Report/Ordinance
Ms. Noble made some revisions after suggestions from the committee last month.
Developer fees will increase from $5,000 to $25,000 with a minimum deposit of $2,500.
An upfront engineering fee estimate will be provided and the developer can pay in full or
replenish as necessary. Ms. Noble also noted 2 charges that would be removed from the
changes suggested. All changes will be codified.
Ms. Noble reached out to Gary Neyer of Marker Inc. since he had voiced concern about
the high amounts. Mr. Neyer was present and said the plan review fees were much too
high. He said they did a development in 2011 when plan reviews were done by the city
in-house. He said just the earthwork is a very substantial cost.
Alderman Colosimo asked how the proposed rates compare to the nearby cities and Ms.
Noble said it was comparable. He does not want to scare developers away, while making
sure the city covers their costs. He would like to see a fixed fee. As the project moves
along, Alderman Frieders requested performance indicators. Alderman Funkhouser
compared the proposed rates to other towns he had researched. He said the proposal will
affect developers and he would like the rates tightened, though he prefers a fixed fee.

This proposal will move forward for a Public Hearing and will return to EDC in May.
Mr. Sanderson and Ms. Noble will work together on the fee structure and invoices can be
adjusted.
Additional Business None
There was no further business and the meeting adjourned at 6:47pm.

Monthly Report – for April 2018 EDC Meeting of the United City of Yorkville
March 2018 Activity
Downtown Redevelopment:
- Continue working with Imperial Investments to identify a variety of businesses who may be potential tenant candidates for future and
existing buildings.
- Working with Minor Threat Restaurant Group to assist with any needs for the expedient opening of Pizza Riot and Rivers Edge Theatre.
Development south of Fox River:
- Continue working with Eleno Silva. Eleno has been issued an exterior building permit for the partially built structure in Sta gecoach Crossing.
Exterior construction will begin very soon.
- Working with broker from Fountain Village Center (Route 47 & 71), to identify perspective tenants so that center can begin a “renewal”
process. A nail salon has signed a lease, and there is one other perspective tenant that is negotiating on approximately 4,000 square feet of
space. This new business may be just the right catalyst to get the Center attracting other new business.
Development north of the Fox River:
- Kendall Crossing…Construction is moving along on the Holiday Inn Express and Banquet Facility. The Banquet and Event Center is now
named “Kendall Gardens”. Plans for that building will be delivered to the City for review and building permit during the first week of April.
Also, Kendall Hospitality has joined the Yorkville Area Chamber of Commerce as a Premier Member. All systems are GO!!
- Kendall Marketplace…Working with Alex Berman (owner) to identify potential additional development on the project. The junior box is
continuing to negotiate their lease. The final hurdle is signage. With the removal of the SSA from the attached single family portion, Alex
and I have been meeting with potential residential builders, who may be interested in constructing the townhome component. I am also
working with Alex and his brokers from Edgemark to determine whether the time is right is build a multi-tenant building on an outlot.
- Continue to work with two National restaurants chains are looking closely at Yorkville. While I am unable to disclose the names of these
two very familiar chains, I can state that one has put a piece of property under contract, and has now extended their contract.
- Salerno’s Hot Dogs has withdrawn from the little “A” frame building on Route 34 just east of Route 47.
- Culver’s is celebrating 12 years in Yorkville. It is time for a general remodel of the restaurant. To get this done correctly and quickly, the
Yorkville Culvers will close on Sunday, April 8th at 3PM and will remain closed until Friday, April 13th at 10:30AM normal opening time).
- Yorkville’s Aldi will also be building an addition onto their store. The store will remain open and fully operational during the construction.
Industrial Development:
- Working with Joyce Sloan, the industrial broker, who is the listing agent on Lincoln Prairie on Eldamain Road.
- Continue working with small industrial user to locate in Yorkville. This business owner is a resident, and currently operates in a sur rounding
community. I hope to be able to report more specifics in the next 30 to 60 days. Project is out for financing options at this time.
Recreation:
- Go for it Sports…continue working with the center, who now has their own Special Olympics team. The team is comprised of 10 area
athletes from the ages of 7 to adult, who are training every Tuesday in hopes of making it to the state meet. Also, JC Health & Fitness is
now operating in the facility. JC Health & Fitness offers personal training, monthly memberships and fitness classes. At this time, “Spring
Break Camps” are being conducted at the facility, and “Summer Camps” are being formulated to meet the need of area families.
Other Activity:
- Attended the Open House for Anthony Place.
- Attended Waubonsee Community College selection day for the awarding of scholarships of the 2018-2019 school year.

Kendall Marketplace PUD Amendment for Signage
Economic Development Committee - April 3, 2018
10/24/2006
Approval of Ord. 2006-125
Majority
Approval
Requested Planned Unit Development Amendment to increase the overall sign
height for two (2) monument tenant signs.
Krysti Barksdale – Noble, AICP Community Development
Name Department

BACKGROUND & REQUEST:
The applicant, Kendall Holdings I, LLC, is requesting an amendment to the Kendall Marketplace Planned
Unit Development to permit an increase in overall sign height by five (5) feet for two (2) existing freestanding
business monument signs which serve as the sole outdoor tenant signage for current and future tenants of the
partially developed Kendall Marketplace commercial development.
The approximately 150-acre commercial portion of the development, which has two (2) inline retail
buildings with major tenant anchors, two (2) stand alone big-box retailers (Target and Home Depot) and various
outlots, is a Planned Unit Development with underlining B-3 General Business District (formerly Service
Business District) zoning. The Planned Unit Development (PUD) and subsequent development conditions were
approved in 2006 via Ordinances 2006-88 and 2006-125 (see attached). While Ordinance 2006-88 approving
development conditions for Kendall Marketplace did not address specific signage criteria, the subsequent
amending Ordinance 2006-125 allowed for the for the installation of two (2) approximately 29’-4 H x 13’-0” W
(192 square foot sign area) freestanding business monument signs located along US Rte 34 (Veterans Parkway)
and near the intersection of Beecher Road and US Rte 34.
According to the applicant, the proposed increase in height for the two (2) existing monument signs is
needed to provide increased visibility for the remaining inline retail tenant spaces in the commercial development
Memorandum
To: Economic Development Committee
From: Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director
CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator

as these units are not immediately adjacent to a major roadway; as well as provide additional business
identification along US Route 34 for the undeveloped commercial outlots.
EXISTING & PROPOSED SIGNAGE:
As previously mentioned, the two (2) 29’-4”
tall existing tenant monument signs are located along US
Rte 34 (Veterans Parkway) and near the intersection of
Beecher Road and US Rte 34, and are oriented
perpendicular to the roadway (see image below). The
EDC may recall, the existing sign along US 34 was
recently granted a variance to allow the sign to remain in
its current location, although is now within the IDOT
right-of-way as a result of the ongoing roadway widening
project.
The proposed reconstructed signs would increase the overall sign height to by five (5) feet to
approximately 35”-0’ tall by removing the existing sign cabinets, inserting new steel pipes on top and installing a
new cabinet piece near the bottom of the sign base and a sign cap/top. The new cabinet piece will allow for three
(3) rows of new tenant panels per sign. All new tenant panels will be fabricated of the same aluminum material of
the exiting sign panels, and will be routed for copy with push-through white acrylic.
3
All exposed metal surfaces will be coated with acrylic polyurethane for a seamless appearance. The tenant
panels will be internally illuminated with LED lighting as the existing panels. The foundation materials of the
monument signs will remain. Images of the proposed modified signs are provided below.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The intent of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) is to provide flexibility from the rigidity of the
conventional zoning/bulk/signage regulations, if there is a greater benefit to the property and the City as a whole.
The applicant believes there is a greater benefit to offering new/existing in-line tenants as an incentive for
extending or confirming new leases and to the future tenants of the remaining undeveloped outlots in the Kendall
Marketplace development, should they be permitted to increase the overall height of the (two) existing
freestanding signage by five (5) feet. The addition of six (6) new tenant panels will provide needed visibility for
those businesses which do not have frontage along Veterans Parkway (US Route 34).
The City has previously approved amendments to Planned Unit Developments for increases or new
monument tenant signage which exceeds the maximum size and height requirement set forth in the Zoning
Ordinance. The following table compares the proposed modified signs and recently approved signs with Planned
Unit Development approval for commercial retail developments:

In staff’s review of the proposed PUD amendment, consideration was given to the relationship the existing and
future in-line tenants have to where the sign is located for potential visibility opportunities along US Rte 34;
recently approved amended PUD agreements of increased multi-tenant monument signage for similar type
commercial developments and how the proposed modified sign does not significantly deviate from the intent of
the originally approved PUD.
STAFF COMMENTS:
This request will require a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission at the April 11,
2018 meeting for formal recommendation. Notice of the proposed amendment will be published in the March 16,
2018 edition of the Beacon Newspaper and the applicant will be available at Tuesday night’s meeting to address
the Economic Development Committee (EDC) regarding this matter.

Kendall Marketplace PUD Amendment for Residential Lots
Economic Development Committee - April 3, 2018
10/24/2006
Approval of Ord. 2006-125
Majority
Approval
Requested Planned Unit Development Amendment to revise the architectural
standards for single family residential units in Kendall Marketplace.
Krysti Barksdale – Noble, AICP Community Development
Name Department
1
BACKGROUND & REQUEST:
The applicant, McCue Builders, Inc., is requesting an amendment to the Kendall Marketplace Planned
Unit Development (PUD) to permit a revision to Article III of the agreement regarding design standards for the
new construction of single-family residential units within the currently platted, but undeveloped, portion of the
property.
The single-family
residential portion of the
development consists of 28
parcels on nearly 9-acres of
land. The Planned Unit
Development (PUD) and
subsequent development
conditions for the residential
portion was approved in 2006
via Ordinance 2006-125 (see
attached).
Per this ordinance,
special provisions for design
standards were established for
the single-family detached
residential units which are as
follows:
1. Masonry products
shall be incorporated
on the front façade of
75% of the total units.
2. A minimum of 75% of the front façade of each building shall incorporate masonry products. A 10%
reduction of the required masonry area will be given for each major architectural feature on the front
façade.
3. A minimum of 50% of each building elevation shall incorporate premium siding material.
4. Primary structures shall be constructed upon either a basement or foundation – “slab” construction shall
not be used.
According to the applicant, the current material and design standards for the exterior of the residential
units is cost prohibitive and not keeping with the price point offered or warranted for the development.
EXISTING & PROPOSED DESIGN STANDARDS:
On June 14, 2005, the United City of Yorkville approved Ordinance No. 2005-51 which adopted an
Appearance Code as part of the Building Regulations (see attached). Among the objectives of the Appearance
Code is to foster sound and harmonious design of new buildings and sites, establish standards for new

construction and development and encourage creative non-monotonous community designs utilizing design
professionals.
Per this ordinance, the provisions of the Appearance Code is applicable to residential, commercial and
industrial land uses seeking building permit approval for new construction, or building permit approval for
additions to existing commercial or industrial buildings where the cumulative addition(s) are equal to 10% of the
area or 200 sq. ft., whichever is greater.
The City’s Appearance Code does not apply to industrial accessory structures (although these structures
should complement the main structure), buildings where siding is being replaced with similar siding material, or
any Planned Unit Development (PUD) already approved prior to the adoption of the ordinance unless so
stipulated in the PUD.
While the Appearance Code does provide specific criteria for both residential and non-residential
uses, the regulations are very general in nature and relate mostly to anti-monotony standards (i.e., no two
dwelling units with similar appearance shall be located adjacent to or across the street from each other) with
regard to single family detached units and site planning and building design elements for single-family
attached and multiple family dwelling units. Non-residential uses (commercial and industrial) Appearance
Code standards focus on the relationship of buildings to the site, relationship of the site to the adjoining area
and building design.
Subsequent to the approval of the Appearance Code in 2005, the United City of Yorkville adopted
new Comprehensive Plan Design Guidelines on May 26, 2009 (see attached). Unlike the Appearance Code
Ordinance, the Design Guidelines were not codified as part of the Municipal Code and therefore, are
advisory only.
These guidelines are intended to “maintain the unique character and acknowledge the heritage of
Yorkville” by establishing principles related to overall planning, site planning, landscaping and community
character. Again, the applicability of these guidelines are limited to all new developments constructed after
its adoption and does not apply to lots which have buildings constructed upon them prior to its adoption with
the exception of properties substantially redeveloped, rezoned to which a special use is being requested.
Substantial redevelopment consists of any construction activity that will result in a greater than 25% increase
to the existing square footage or the addition of twelve (12) or more parking spaces.
Staff has routinely referenced both documents in our review of applicable developments,
with the most recent being the Kendall Crossing, Anthony Place Senior Apartments and Cedarhurst Living
developments. Since most of the residential planned developments were approved through annexation
agreements with ordinance and fee locks associated, staff has deferred to those documents during compliance
reviews.
Although the Kendall Marketplace PUD was approved after the adoption of the Appearance Code and
would be subject to its standards, it was approved prior to the adoption of Design Guidelines and is not subject to
those more specific aesthetic criteria. However, the PUD provided specific design provisions which were in
addition to those required in the Appearance Code.
The following page has a comparison chart of the existing Kendall Marketplace PUD design standards for
single-family detached residential units, current Appearance Code standards and the applicant’s proposed
amendments:

EXISTING KMP PUD DESIGN
STANDARDS
CURRENT APPEARANCE CODE
DESIGN STANDARDS
PROPOSED NEW DESIGN
STANDARDS
Masonry Products on 75% of the
total units
Minimum of 75% of the front
façade of each building to
incorporate masonry products.
(10% reduction of the required
masonry area will be given for each
major architectural feature on
front façade)
Minimum of 50% of each building
elevation to incorporate premium
siding material.
Primary structure shall be
constructed upon either a basement
or foundation – “slab” construction
shall not be used.
No residential dwellings shall be
similar in appearance unless two (2)
or more buildings of dissimilar design
separate the buildings.
A newly constructed residential
building shall be dissimilar in
appearance to another residential
building across the street from, or
adjacent to the newly constructed
building.
A residential dwelling on a corner lot
is not considered similar to one
adjacent to it if the two (2) dwellings
face different streets.
On cul-de-sacs not more than two (2)
dwellings shall be similar in
appearance on any lots having front
lot lines contributing to the arc of the
cul-de-sac.
All homes shall have some type of
covered porch on the front elevation.
All homes shall have a 2-car garage
with raised panel garage doors.
All front elevation windows shall
have grilles in the windows.
All homes shall have architectural
shingles.
At least 75% of the homes shall have
at least a 7/12 pitch on the main roof.
At least 75% of the homes shall have
at least a 10/12 pitch on the front
gables
At least 75 % of the homes shall have
at least 25% brick or stone on the first
floor elevation on the walls that run
parallel to the street.
Homes that do not have any brick or
stone on the front elevation shall be
required to have the following:
-All windows on the front elevation
shall have shutters or be wrapped
with 4” trim
-Windows in the upper panel of the
garage door
-Some type of Shake siding or Batten
Board siding on front elevation.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The intent of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) is to provide flexibility from the rigidity of the
conventional regulations of the code while offering a greater benefit to the property and the City as a whole. The
development’s existing standards, while specific to mainly building material, did not necessarily enhance
architectural interest or encourage creative non-monotonous community design. Additionally, the current
Appearance Code, which would be the default design standards if the PUD had not required the added provisions,
solely focuses on similarities in dwelling appearances.
However, the proposed new design standards proposed by the applicant requires at least three (3)
architectural features on the front elevation of all homes (covered porches, grilles on windows and raised panel
garage doors) in addition to higher grade roof shingles and steeper pitched roof slopes. For those homes with front
elevations without masonry products, the applicant proposes window details, garage door features and premium
siding materials. It is staff’s opinion that the proposed amended design elements for this development are more
substantial than for newly constructed homes in other residential subdivisions approved under the current
Appearance Code standards.

For your consideration, below are sample elevations of four (4) models of homes the applicant has
planned for the Kendall Marketplace development:
STAFF COMMENTS:
This request will require a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission at the April 11,
2018 meeting for formal recommendation. Notice of the proposed amendment will be published in the March 16,
2018 edition of the Beacon Newspaper and the applicant will be available at Tuesday night’s meeting to address

4/11/2012http://www.sterlingcodifiers.com/codebook/printnow.php
f. A building is considered dissimilar when less than four (4) of the above
characteristics exist among subject dwellings.
2. Single-Family Attached And Multiple-Family: The intent of this chapter, specifically
pertaining to single-family attached and multi-family buildings, is to create a "sense of
community". Thiscan be achieved through careful site planning as well as thoughtful
building design and color selections.
a. The building footprint of single-family attached and multi-family buildings can be the
same. However, the facade treatments must vary between buildings that are
adjacent to one another. Facade variations may include building materials or colors
in any one or more of the following:
(1) Siding;
(2) Masonry;
(3) Roof;
(4) Paint/stain;
(5) Doors.
b. Sites where requested setbacks and yards are less than the minimum zoning district
requirements must provide an interesting relationship between buildings.
c. Parking areas shall be treated with decorative elements, building wall extensions,
plantings, berms and other innovative means so as to largely screen parking areas
from view from public ways.
d. The height and scale of each building shall be compatible with its site and adjoining
buildings.
e. Newly installed utility services, and service revisions necessitated by exterior
alterations, shall be underground.
f. The architectural character of the building shall be in keeping with the topographical
dictates of the site.
g. Masonry products shall be incorporated on the front facade of at least seventy five
percent (75%) of the total buildings in the approved community, and shall
incorporate a minimum of fifty percent (50%) premium siding material on the front
facade. No less than half (25 percent of the total) of the minimum "premium siding"
requirements must incorporate masonry products. Credit toward the remaining
"premium siding" requirement can be earned via the use of major architectural
features. Each major architectural feature used will earn a credit of ten percent
(10%) towards the calculation of the minimum premium siding requirement.
Example: A building with thirty percent (30%) masonry on the front elevation will
require the use of two (2) "major architectural features" (10% + 10% = 20%) to
comply with the total "fifty percent (50%) premium siding material on the front
facade".
Page 5 of 9Sterling Codifiers, Inc.
4/11/2012http://www.sterlingcodifiers.com/codebook/printnow.php
h. Pedestrian features/amenities, such as covered walkways,street furniture, and
bicycle rack facilities are encouraged.
i. Common open space and outdoor features are encouraged.
D. Nonresidential:
1. General Provisions:
a. Relationship Of Buildings To Site:
(1) The site shall be planned to accomplish a desirable transition with the
streetscape, and to provide for adequate planting, pedestrian movement, and
parking area.
(2) Site planning in which setbacks and yards are in excess of the minimum zoning
district requirement is encouraged to provide an interesting relationship between
buildings.
(3) Newly installed utility services, and service revisions necessitated by exterior
alterations, shall be underground.
(4) The architectural character of the building shall be in keeping with the
topographical dictates of the site.
(5) In relating buildings to the site, the provisions of the zoning ordinance in regard to
bulk regulations, standards, and off street parking shall be part of this criteria. This
shall also apply to subsection D1b of this section.
b. Relationship Of Site To Adjoining Area:
(1) Adjacent buildings of different architectural styles shall be made compatible by
such means as screens, site breaks and materials.
(2) Attractive landscape transition to adjoining properties shall be provided.
(3) Harmony in texture, lines and masses is required.
(4) The height and scale of each building shall be compatible with its site and
adjoining buildings.

a. Commercial, Office And Institutional Uses:
(1) Guidelines For Sites That Have Existing Buildings:
(A) When adding an addition, distinct color variation to an existing building is
prohibited.
Page 6 of 9Sterling Codifiers, Inc.
4/11/2012http://www.sterlingcodifiers.com/codebook/printnow.php
(B) When a site abuts a county, state or federal highway, and when an existing
building is modified, the property owner shall be required, to the greatest extent
possible, to meet the standards set forth belowfor the entire building.
(C) If an additional building(s) is placed on the site, the additional building(s)
shall, to the greatest extent possible, complement the architectural style of the
principal building.
(D) Any additional building(s) placed on the site shall, to the greatest extent

(A) Masonry products or precast concrete shall be incorporated on at least fifty
percent (50%) of the total building, as broken down as follows: The front facade
shall itself incorporate masonry products or precast concrete on at least fifty
percent (50%) of the facade. Any other facade that abuts a street shall
incorporate masonry products. The use of masonry products or precast
concrete is encouraged on the remaining facades.
(B) Creative layout and design of the buildings within the commercial, office or
institutional development is encouraged. Use of windows or the impression of
windows on all sides of the building and the utilization of a campus style layout
are encouraged. Creative layout and design will help to decrease the overall
mass of the development, to prevent monotony, and to improve the aesthetic
quality of the development.
(C) The height and scale of each building shall be compatible with its site and
adjoining buildings.
(D) Outlots shall reflect the style, materials, and/or design elements of the main
building. In cases where the main building does not meet the design guidelines
and standards (i.e., in terms of visual design materials and layout of the
building), new outlot development proposals will be reviewed using the
guidelines and standards contained in this chapter.
(E) Pedestrian scale features/amenities, such as solid colored awnings,
covered walkways, windows, street furniture, bicycle rack facilities and clearly
defined entranceways are encouraged.
(F) Common open space and outdoor seating areas are encouraged within
commercial, office and institutional developments.
(G) The location of parking lots in a manner that is logical, safe and pedestrian
friendly is encouraged.In this respect, the location of parking lots in the rear or
side of a building is encouraged.
(H) Parking areas shall be treated with decorative elements, building wall
extensions, plantings, berms and other innovative means so as to largely
screen parking areas from view of public ways.

4/11/2012http://www.sterlingcodifiers.com/codebook/printnow.php
(I) The location of drive-through facilities, including drive-through lanes, bypass
lanes, and service windows, adjacent to a public right of way are not desirable
and are discouraged.
(J) Loading bays for commercial and office uses shall not be located in the front
of a building or in the area abutting a public right of way.
(3) Standards:
(A) All commercial, office and institutional buildings shall consist of solid and
durable facade materials and be compatible with the character and scale of the
surrounding area.
(B) Masonry products shall not be painted.
(C) Trash enclosures shall be located in areas that are easily accessible by
service vehicles, but minimally exposed to the public street. Screening these
enclosures with a material that is compatible with the principal commercial,
office or institutional building is required.
(D) Rooftop mechanicals shall be screened and enclosed in a manner that
masks the equipment from view from all sides and is of the same character and
design as the structure. Architectural features such as parapet walls and varying
rooflines, are encouraged. Ground level mechanicals shall be screened by
landscaping and/or fencing, as appropriate and shall be maintained year round.
(E) When loading bays are placed where they can be viewed from a county,
state or federal highway or from a city street designated on the comprehensive
plan as an arterial or collector road, landscaping between the building and the
street shall be such that within five (5) years of installing the landscaping, it can
be reasonably assumed that the bay doors will be screened from the road.
E. Industrial Uses:
1. Guidelines:
a. Masonry products or precast concrete shall be incorporated onat least fifty percent
(50%) of the total building, as broken down as follows: The "front facade" (defined as
that facade that faces a street that includes a main entry to the building) shall itself
incorporate masonry products or precast concrete on at least fifty percent (50%) of
the facade. Any other facade that abuts a street shall incorporate masonry products
or precast concrete. The use of masonry products or precast concrete is encouraged

Prestwick of Yorkville (YCHS) – 3rd Annexation Agreement Amendment
Economic Development Committee - April 3, 2018

Approval of Ord. 2014-57
PC 2014-07
Majority
Vote
Requested 3rd Amendment to the Annexation Agreement regarding required access
off of Ashley Road and IL Rte. 126 and Ashley Road intersection improvements.
Krysti Barksdale – Noble, AICP Community Development
Name Department
Summary
As the EDC will recall, the petitioners, John and Michelle Stewart, purchased the incomplete
Prestwick of Yorkville subdivision in March 2013 and were granted approval of an amendment to the
original annexation agreement (Ord. 2013-56) with a revised final plat of Unit 2 to construct a new
Christian high school focused on agricultural studies in October 2014. As originally proposed, the
school would have a maximum student capacity of 850 students but would be constructed in phases
with the first phase accommodating about 100 students. The 2013 overall site plan indicated a school
size of approximately 25,000 square feet with primary school traffic occurring off of Ashley Road, as
illustrated below.
Since that time, the applicants have secured the a permit from the Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT) to make intersection improvements at Route 126 and Penman Road, work
towards the completion of punch list items in Unit 1 of the subdivision, and obtain earthwork and
foundation permits for the school site. However, no intersection or roadway improvements to IL
Route 126 at Penman, intersection of Ashley Road and IL Route 126, nor the Ashley Road
improvements adjacent to school lot have occurred.
Memorandum
To: Economic Development Committee
From: Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director
CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator
Date: March 26, 2018
Subject: PZC 2018-04 Prestwick of Yorkville – Yorkville Christian School
Request for 3rd Amendment to Annexation Agreement
The petitioners are now seeking to amend the current annexation agreement to relieve them
from completing required intersection improvements to Ashley Road and Illinois Route 126, and
constructing an access roadway off of Ashley Road from the Yorkville Christian school site until
such time homes in Phase II of the Prestwick (Ashley Pointe) development are being constructed.
Additionally, and not part of the amended annexation agreement request, the petitioner’s
have revised the overall layout of the school site and increased the building size to 52,000 square feet
to accommodate the full student capacity.
Project Background
Below is a chronological bullet point summation of the City Council approvals related to this
project since the purchase of the stalled development by the current petitioners:
Per the amended Annexation Agreement approved in 2013 (Ord. No. 2013-56) Lot 358 of the
original Final Plat was resubdivided for the purpose of accommodating the new private high
school.
Per Ordinance 2013-56, the developer was given credit against all City and County required
road impact fees to which would be collected at time of building permit issuance based upon
the understanding that the developer would make roadway improvements to IL Route 126 at
Penman, Ashley Road and IL Route 126 intersection and Ashley Road improvements
adjacent to Lot 358 where the new school will be located.
Per Ordinance 2013-56, the Developer agreed to provide all required security for the high
school development and roadways.
Per Ordinance 2013-56, the City agreed to allow the school to open with forty percent (40%)
of the required parking in place and the remaining sixty percent (60%) to be land banked and
installed as determined by the City.
Ordinance 2014-57, approved in October 2014 authorizing the Final Plat for the school,
stipulated in Exhibit B that the improvements to IL Route 126 at Penman and IL Route 126 at
Ashley Road must be substantially completed prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit
for the school.
Ordinance 2014-26, approved in May 2014, allowed for the release/reduction in the security
requirements for the roadway completion as part of the development with the written
acknowledgement and agreement by the Owner/Developer that no certificate of occupancy
for the school or any other structure constructed on the property will be issued by the City
until such time a deposit sufficient for the roadway improvements related to the Il Route 126
intersection with IDOT has been provided.
Annexation Agreement Amendment
Section 2 of the Second Amendment stated that “the Developer will provide any required
security for the high school improvements, including roadways”. The developer requests that the
annexation agreement be further amended to stipulate the proposed new language which is
underlined and the removal of the existing annexation agreement language crossed out:
The Developer acknowledges its responsibility for all required security for the high
school improvements, including roadways; Owner/Developer agrees not to construct
any access roadway from the Yorkville Christian School site to Ashley Road until the
intersection improvements for Ashley Road and Route 126 are completed; the City
agrees that no intersection improvements for Ashley Road and Route 126 shall be
required to be made by Owner/Developer until such time as Phase II homes are being
constructed in Ashley Pointe Subdivision (formerly known as Prestwick of Yorkville
Subdivision); the City agrees to release to the Developer/Owner any security for the
roadway improvements related to the Route 126 intersection held by the City upon
written acknowledgement by the Owner/Developer that it understands and agrees that
no certificates of occupancy for any houses constructed as part of Phase II of Ashley
Pointe Subdivision shall be issued by the City until such time as Owner/Developer
has deposited sufficient security for the roadway improvements related to the Route
126/Ashley Road intersection provided, however, the City agrees to release to the
Developer/Owner any security for the roadway improvements related to the Route
126 intersection held by the City upon written acknowledgement by the
Owner/Developer that it understands and agrees that no certificate of occupancy for
the school or any other structure constructed on the Property shall be issued by the
City until such time as the Owner/Developer has deposited sufficient security for the
roadway improvements related to the Route 126 intersection with the Illinois
Department of Transportation (“IDOT”) and the City has received confirmation from
IDOT of the receipt of such security.
All other provisions of the original, First and Second amended annexation agreements will
remain in effect.
Traffic Study Analysis:
The petitioner’s have provided an addendum to the original Traffic Study prepared in 2013
by KLOA Inc., transportation engineers. The original Traffic Study took into consideration the traffic
impacts of the proposed school at maximum enrollment (850 students), Phase I and Phase II
residential build out and the utilization of two (2) access roads that will serve the development,
Ashley Road and the intersection of IL Rte 126 and Penman. Ashley Road was to serve as the
primary access point for the school traffic, while IL Rte 126 and Penman would be a secondary
access point for the school and the main access for the residential units. This report also assumed a
2% rate of traffic growth per year. At the conclusion of the study, it was determined that the addition
of the new traffic generated from the school and full build-out of the Prestwick subdivision (Phases I
and II) could be accommodated by the required roadway improvements to IL Rte. 126 and Penman,
IL Rte. 126 and Ashley Road and Ashley Road. Further it was recommended that westbound left-turn
lanes should be provided on Il Rte. 126 at the intersections with Ashley Road and Penman Road.
The addendum prepared by KLOA, Inc. dated February 16, 2018, considered the revised site
plan, school enrollment at full capacity (850 students) and the build out of only Phase I of the
subdivision with the only vehicular access off of IL Rte. 126 and Penman Road. The report also
projected a 1% rate of traffic growth per year. The findings of the traffic addendum concluded the
connection to Ashley Road for the school was not needed to accommodate the estimated traffic
generated by both the school and the complete build-out of the residential homes in Phase I of the
development.
Staff Comments:
Staff is not supportive of postponing the roadway improvements (access point) off of Ashley
Road adjacent to the school site until such time Phase II of the development has commenced
construction, as the intent of the original annexation agreement amendment (Ord. 2013-56) and
subsequent approvals related to this development were contingent upon the roadway improvements
being completed. Further, the assumptions in the addendum to the traffic study were incongruent
with those used in the original study. Staff has shared these concerns with the Petitioner and stated
this will need to be addressed prior to any final recommendation regarding the amended request.
While the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) expressed concerns in 2008-2009 with
the previous developer utilizing the current IL Rte. 126 and Penman intersection for residential
vehicular traffic (it was only intended for construction traffic), the petitioner is committed to
completing these roadway improvements before being issued final occupancy permits for any new
residential construction in Phase I or for the school building. Additionally, staff has requested the
petitioners obtain IDOT’s written opinion on the proposed revised traffic study and postponed
roadway improvements.
Should the City consider the requested postponement of the improvements, staff recommends not
tying the trigger for construction to the development of Phase II (which has not been final platted),
but to a fixed number of permits issued in Phase I, specifically after the issuance of the 75th building
permit for certificate of occupancy, the developer would be required to commence construction of the
roadway improvements off of Ashley Road and be completed within three (3) years of the date the
75th building permit for certificate of occupancy or no further building permits will be issued in either
phase of the development. This recommendation is predicated on the satisfactory analysis of the
traffic study and upon confirmation from IDOT that the additional traffic from the school through the
IL Rte 126 and Penman intersection is acceptable.
Additionally, it is also staff’s reasoning to support the proposed amendment based upon the
petitioners expressing that funding is needed from the sale of the residential lots within Phase I to
finance the cost of the Ashley Road access and the Ashley Road and IL Rte. 126 intersection
improvements. The petitioners are currently negotiating a contract with a nation-wide builder to
purchase lots in a series of four (4) take-downs of approximately 25 lots per “grab”. This would
allow the petitioner to sell off approximately 75 units in three (3) take downs before having to
commence the roadway improvements. Conversely, there are no active buyers for Phase II of the
Prestwick (Ashley Pointe) development.
Staff would further recommend if the postponement of the Ashley Road improvements are
approved, that the developer would be required to post a sufficient security deposit in the form of a
letter of credit, bond or cash to cover the required work.
A Plan Council meeting was conducted on March 22, 2018 between staff and the petitioners
where these concerns and recommendations were discussed. The petitioner seem amendable to the
recommendations and are considering providing an emergency access drive off of Ashley Road for
first responder entry. Further, staff suggested that the petitioners reach out to the existing residential
homeowners within the Prestwick subdivision prior to the public hearing regarding the proposed
amendment, since formal notification by certified mailing is not required for annexation agreement
amendments. Comments from that meeting prepared by the Community Development Director and
the City Engineer are attached for your reference.
This matter is tentatively scheduled to be considered at a public hearing on April 10, 2018
before the City Council. A copy of the public hearing notice posted in the Beacon Newspaper on
March 16th has also been attached. Should the Economic Development Committee have question
regarding this matter, staff and the petitioners will be available at Tuesday night’s meeting.

Addendum dated February 16, 2018 prepared by KLOA.
I have also reviewed the proposed draft Third Amendment to the Annexation Agreement
of the Yorkville Farms Development and the United City of Yorkville (Prestwick of Yorkville
Subdivision) dated February 27, 2018 and prepared by Patti Bernhard, attorney, of
Dommermuth, Cobine, West, Gensler, Philipchuck, Corrigan and Bernhard, Ltd. regarding the
Prestwick of Yorkville development generally located in the southwest quadrant of Rte. 126 and
Ashley Road. Based upon my review and those of other city and local agency staff members of
these plans and documents, I have compiled the following comments:
General Comments:
• Per the amended Annexation Agreement approved in 2013 (Ord. No. 2013-56) Lot 358
of the original Final Plat was resubdivided for the purpose of accommodating the new
private high school.
• Per Ordinance 2013-56, the developer was given credit against all City and County
required road impact fees to which would be collected at time of building permit issuance
based upon the understanding that the developer would make roadway improvements to
IL Route 126 at Penman, Ashley Road and IL Route 126 intersection and Ashley Road
improvements adjacent to Lot 358 where the new school will be located.
• Per Ordinance 2013-56, the Developer agreed to provide all required security for the high
school development and roadways.
• Per Ordinance 2013-56, the City agreed to allow the school to open with forty percent
(40%) of the required parking in place and the remaining sixty percent (60%) to be land
banked and installed as determined by the City.
• Ordinance 2014-57, approved in October 2014 authorizing the Final Plat for the school,
stipulated in Exhibit B that the improvements to IL Route 126 at Penman and IL Route
126 at Ashley Road must be substantially completed prior to the issuance of an
occupancy permit for the school.
• Ordinance 2014-26, approved in May 2014, allowed for the release/reduction in the
security requirements for the roadway completion as part of the development with the
written acknowledgement and agreement by th e Owner/Developer that no certificate of
occupancy for the school or any other structure constructed on the property will be issued
Memorandum
To: Plan Council
From: Krysti Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director
CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator
Date: March 13, 2018
Subject: PZC 2018-04 Prestwick of Yorkville
Annexation Agreement & Final Plat Amendment Submittal
by the City until such time a deposit sufficient for the roadway improvements related to
the Il Route 126 intersection with IDOT has been provided.
• As of the date of this memorandum, no intersection or roadway improvements to IL
Route 126 at Penman, intersection of Ashley Road and IL Route 126, nor the Ashley
Road improvements adjacent to Lot 358 have occurred.
Amended Final Plat of Subdivision/Overall Site Plan Comments:
• Per Section 10-16-3 of the Zoning Ordinance, off-street parking requirements for high
schools are calculated as 0.25 per student plus 1 per staff. Phase 1 of the school
development anticipates 100 students and 20 staff members, thereby requiring a
minimum of 45 parking stall. The developer proposes to install 144 parking spaces in
Phase 1. The minimum parking requirements have been met.
• Would the developer be amenable to sign Mustang Way for the entire length of the street
rather than bifurcating the street into two (2) names, Mustang Way and Whitekirk Lane?
It is understood that Whitekirk Lane was approved and platted in the existing Unit 1 Final
Plat, but have suggested this change for ease of use.
• Additional comments regarding the Final Plat of Subdivision will be provided by the
City’s engineering consultant, Engineering Enterprises, Inc. under a separate
memorandum.
Amended Annexation Agreement Comments:
• Staff is not supportive of postponing the roadway improvements (access point) off of
Ashley Road adjacent to the school site until such time Phase II of the development has
commenced construction, as the intent of the original annexation agreement amendment
(Ord. 2013-56) and subsequent approvals related to this development were contingent
upon the roadway improvements being completed.
• Should the City consider the requested postponement of the improvements, we would
recommend not tying the trigger for construction to the development of Phase II (which
has not been final platted), but to a fixed number of permits issued in Phase I, such as
after the issuance of the 1st 50 certificate of occupancies, the developer would be required
to commence construction of the roadway improvements off of Ashley Road and be
completed by a certain date or no further building permits will be issued.
• Staff would further recommend if the postponement of the Ashley Road improvements
are approved that the developer would be required to post a sufficient security deposit in
the form of a letter of credit, bond or cash to cover the required work.
• The petitioner also sought to include the following additional language in the proposed
amended annexation agreement:
The City releases its review and approval rights contained in The Highlands at
Ashley Pointe Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions recorded in Kendall
County on May 2, 2007 as Document No. 200700014390.
• Per the attached e-mail from the City Attorney’s office dated March 12, 2018, “…the
City of Yorkville does not currently have review and approval rights over architectural
design of the subdivision. Section 4.3.10 provides that the City must issue a building
permit for out-buildings but leaves architectural decision in the hands of the Architectural
Review Board (“ARB”). That said, no amendment is necessary. If an amendment were
required, it would need to be done in accordance with Article 14 of the Declaration and
not through the Annexation Agreement.”
o Staff does not recommend this language be included in the amended agreement.

Background
In June of 2002 the City entered into a Development/Economic Initiative with James Ratos, to reimburse eligible
costs associated with a development located south of US Route 34 and east of Cannonball Trail. This
development, commonly known as Cannonball Run Plaza, contains several sales tax generating commercial
enterprises including: Jimmy Johns; Legends Sports Bar & Grill; Lakeview Grille; Joyce Lee; and Salsa Verde.
Pursuant to the agreement, eligible costs for public improvements totaling $166,055 were to be reimbursed to the
developer from 50% of the sales tax generated from the development, with interest accruing on the balance at a
rate of 5% per year. The term of the agreement was for 15 years, which expired on October 31, 2017. The graph
below illustrates total accumulated sales tax (since FY 2007) reimbursed and the total value of the incentive
agreement (including accrued interest).
Over the course of the 15 year incentive agreement, the development generated $493,124 in sales tax, of which
$246,562 (including interest of $80,507) was reimbursed to the developer. The total value of the incentive,
including accrued interest, was $249,302. The City was able to net $2,740 due to the agreement expiring before a
full reimbursement could be made.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE, KENDALL COUNTY,
ILLINOIS, APPROVING THE UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE, KENDALL COUNTY,
ILLINOIS DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA #2
REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council (collectively, the “Corporate Authorities”) of
the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois (the “City”), have determined that the
stable economic and physical development of the City is endangered by the presence of
blighting factors as often manifested by progressive and advanced deterioration of structures and
site improvements, inadequate utilities, lack of community planning, and by a decline in the
equalized assessed value, all of which impair the value of private investment, threaten the sound
growth and the tax base of the City and the taxing districts having the power to tax real property
in the City (the “Taxing Districts”), and threaten the health, safety, morals, and welfare of the
public; and,
WHEREAS, the Corporate Authorities have determined that in order to promote and
protect the health, safety, morals, and welfare of the public, the blighting factors in certain parts
of the City need to be eradicated and redevelopment of the City be undertaken in order to remove
and alleviate adverse conditions, encourage private investment, and restore and enhance the tax
base of the City and the Taxing Districts; and,
WHEREAS, the City has authorized an eligibility study to determine whether the
proposed United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois Redevelopment Project Area # 2
(the “Project Area”) qualifies as a “redevelopment project area” pursuant to the Illinois Tax
Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (the “TIF Act”) 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-1, et seq.; and,
WHEREAS, the City has heretofore evaluated various lawfully available programs to
provide assistance in order to encourage private investment and has determined that the use of
tax increment allocation financing is necessary to achieve the redevelopment goals of the City
for the Project Area; and,
WHEREAS, the City was advised in December of 2017, that the Project Area qualifies
as a “redevelopment project area” as both a “blighted” area and a “conservation” area under
Section 11-74.4-3 of the TIF Act; and,
WHEREAS, it is therefore concluded by the Corporate Authorities that the improved
parcels of property in the Project Area qualify as a “conservation” area and the vacant parcels of
property in the Project Area qualify as a “blighted” area under Section 11-74.4-3 of the TIF Act
as of the date hereof; and,
WHEREAS, the City has further caused the preparation of and made available for public
inspection the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois Downtown Redevelopment
Project Area #2 Redevelopment Plan (the “Plan”); and,
WHEREAS, the Plan sets forth in writing the program to be undertaken to accomplish
the objectives of the City and includes estimated redevelopment project costs for the Project
Area, evidence indicating that the Project Area on the whole has not been subject to growth and
development through investment by private enterprise, an assessment of the financial impact of
the Project Area on and the minimal demand, if any, for services from any taxing district affected
by the Plan, the sources of funds to pay costs, the nature and term of any obligations to be issued,
the most recent equalized assessed valuation of the Project Area, an estimate as to the equalized
assessed valuation after redevelopment, the general land uses to apply in the Project Area, and a
commitment to fair employment practices and an affirmative action plan, and the Plan
accordingly complies in all respects with the requirements of the TIF Act; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 11-74.4-5 of the TIF Act, the Corporate Authorities by
an Ordinance No. 2018-02 adopted on January 9, 2018, called a public hearing (the “Hearing”)
relative to the Plan and the designation of the Project Area as a redevelopment project area under
the TIF Act, and fixed the time and place for such Hearing for the 13th Day of March, 2018, at
7:00 p.m., at the United City of Yorkville, City Hall, 800 Game Farm Road, Yorkville, Illinois;
and,
WHEREAS, due notice in respect to such Hearing was given pursuant to Sections 11-
74.4-5 and 11-74.4-6 of the TIF Act, said notice, together with a copy of the Plan, was sent to the
Taxing Districts and to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity of the
State of Illinois by certified mail on January 24, 2018, and was published on February 16, 2018
and February 23, 2018; and,
WHEREAS, the City has established and published an “interested parties registry” for
the Project Area in compliance with the requirements of the TIF Act; and,
WHEREAS, the City gave such notice to all persons and organizations who have
registered for information with such registry, all in the manner and at the times as provided in the
TIF Act; and,
WHEREAS, the City gave due notice of the availability of the Plan to all residents
within 750 feet of the boundaries of the Project Area, in compliance with the requirements of the
TIF Act; and,
WHEREAS, the City convened a Joint Review Board, as required by and in all respects
in compliance with the provisions of the TIF Act; and,
WHEREAS, the Joint Review Board met at the time and as required by the TIF Act, and
reviewed the public record, planning documents, and a form of a proposed ordinance approving
the Plan; and,
WHEREAS, the Joint Review Board adopted by a majority vote an advisory, non-
binding recommendation that the City proceed to implement the Plan and designate the Project
Area as a redevelopment project area under the TIF Act; and,
WHEREAS, the Joint Review Board based its decision on the basis of the Project Area
satisfying the eligibility criteria defined in Section 11-74.4-3 of the TIF Act, and all as provided
in Section 11-74.4-5(b) of the TIF Act; and,
WHEREAS, the City held the Hearing on March 13th, 2018 at the United City of
Yorkville, City Hall, 800 Game Farm Road, Yorkville, Illinois at 7:00 p.m.; and,
WHEREAS, at the Hearing, any interested party or affected Taxing District was
permitted to file with the City Clerk written objections and was heard orally in respect to any
issues embodied in the notice of said Hearing, and the City heard and determined all protests and
objections at the Hearing; and
WHEREAS, the Hearing was adjourned on the 13th day of March, 2018; and,
WHEREAS, the Plan sets forth the factors which cause the improved parcels in the
Project Area to be a conservation area and the vacant parcels to be a blighted area and the
Corporate Authorities have reviewed the information concerning such factors presented at the
Hearing and are generally informed of the conditions in the Project Area which could cause the
Project Area to be both a “conservation” area and a “blighted” area as defined in the TIF Act;
and,
WHEREAS, the Corporate Authorities have reviewed evidence indicating that the
Project Area on the whole has not been subject to growth and development through investment
by private enterprise, and have reviewed the conditions pertaining to lack of private investment
in the Project Area to determine whether private development would take place in the Project
Area as a whole without the adoption of the proposed Plan and assistance as authorized by the
TIF Act; and,
WHEREAS, the Corporate Authorities have reviewed the conditions pertaining to real
property in the Project Area to determine whether contiguous parcels of real property and
improvements thereon in the Project Area would be substantially benefited by the proposed
project improvements; and,
WHEREAS, the Corporate Authorities have made an assessment of any financial impact
of the Project Area on or the minimal demand, if any, for services from any Taxing District
affected by the Plan and found that the redevelopment projects proposed by the Plan will not
cause any significant financial impact or increased demand for facilities or services by any local
taxing body; and,
WHEREAS, the Corporate Authorities have reviewed the proposed Plan and the existing
comprehensive plan of the City for development as a whole and finds that the proposed Plan
conforms to the comprehensive plan of the City.

United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, as follows:

DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA #2 | DECEMBER 1, 2017
PAGE 1
In February 1977, the Illinois General Assembly passed the initial version of what is now the present Tax
Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (the “Act”) (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-1 et seq.). This 1977 legislation
was the initial authorization for the use of tax increment financing (“TIF”) in Illinois. The Act provides a
means for municipalities, after the approval of a Redevelopment Plan, designation of a Redevelopment
Project Area and adoption of tax increment allocation financing, to redevelop blighted, conservation,
or industrial park conservation redevelopment project areas and to finance “redevelopment project
costs” (“Redevelopment Project Costs”) with “incremental property tax revenues” (“Incremental Property
Taxes”). Incremental Property Taxes are derived from the increase in the equalized assessed valuation
(“EAV”) of taxable real property within the Redevelopment Project Area over and above the equalized
assessed value of such property from the time tax increment allocation financing is adopted (“Initial
EAV”). Any year-to-year increase in EAV over the Initial EAV of such property is then multiplied by the
current tax rate, which results in Incremental Property Taxes.
The Act defines a number of eligible items that qualify as Redevelopment Project Costs. Incremental
Property Taxes may pay for eligible Redevelopment Project Costs or may be pledged, notes or other
obligations issued for that purpose. In addition, a municipality may pledge, as payment, additional
revenues including revenues from the Redevelopment Project, municipal property taxes or other
revenue sources, and may issue bonds backed by the general obligation of the municipality or payable
solely from Incremental Property Taxes and other sources.
As stated above, as a result of the adoption of TIF, Incremental Property Taxes are captured as new tax
revenues generated by the increase of the EAV over the Initial EAV. This increased EAV of properties
can result from a municipality’s redevelopment program, improvements, various developments and
redevelopment activities, and the reassessment of properties. Under the Act, all taxing districts continue
to receive property taxes levied by application of their tax rates on the Initial EAV of properties within
the Redevelopment Project Area. Taxing districts benefit from the increased property tax base after
Redevelopment Project Costs and obligations have been paid and the designation of the redevelopment
project is terminated. If the taxing districts have building and structures in the Redevelopment Project
Area, those facilities are eligible for repair, remodeling and rehabilitation to the extent funds are available.
Any capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to such term
by the Act.
I. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA #2 | DECEMBER 1, 2017

II. THE UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE
The United City of Yorkville (the “City”) is located approximately 50 miles southwest of Chicago within
Kendall County’s Fox River Valley as the Fox River runs directly through the City. The City is generally
bounded by the Villages of Montgomery and Sugar Grove to the north; the Village of Oswego the east;
the City of Plano to the west; and, the City of Morris to the south.
The town of Yorkville was originally settled in 1832 as an agricultural business center with a downtown
district south of the Fox River on Bridge Street. Although the City started as a small town, growth has
been a hallmark of the community since its inception as illustrated by Yorkville’s designation as the
County Seat in 1859; the establishment of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad route through
Yorkville in 1870; and, Yorkville’s incorporation in 1887. Yorkville grew even further when in 1957, based
on shared circumstances, the then town of Yorkville and its neighbor to the north of the Fox River, the
town of Bristol, combined to form what we know today as the “United City of Yorkville”.
Between 1960 and the census of 2000, the City’s population grew to 6,189. In the following 10 years, the
population grew by over 10,000 people to 16,921 per the 2010 census. Due to the swelling population,
the City is currently in the process of conducting a special census as it estimates its current population
at 18,500 people. The City continues to annex hundreds of acres; develop residential subdivisions,
commercial corridors and an industrial park; and, has begun to attract tourists with the recreational
amenities provided by the Fox River and the opening of the Marge Cline Whitewater Course at the Glen
D. Palmer Dam located at the City’s Bicentennial Riverfront Park.
Despite the aforementioned population increase and the substantial residential and commercial
development in recent years, little has been done to the area comprising the City’s “downtown district”
to keep up with the changing times.
Many of the buildings therein suffer from deterioration as a result of aging such as defects in doors,
windows, porches, gutters, downspouts and fascia. As the oldest part of the City, the area is also serviced
by outdated utilities that are insufficient to keep up with the growing population. In addition, because
of its age, the area was developed at a time when a comprehensive plan did not exist for the City,
resulting in a poor street design that impedes the overall flow and plan of the City. Finally, and most
distressing, is the rampant decline in the assessed values of properties within the area.
As regional growth of the Chicago metropolitan area proceeds southwestward, the City has focused its
planning efforts on guiding development to assure a compatible balance of land uses reflective of the
City’s small town heritage but also responsive to its continuing population growth and contemporary
development opportunities. Implementation of the Act shall permit the City to provide incentives to
attract developers, who have been unwilling to undertake development to date because of the factors
detailed above, which development would eradicate those same detrimental factors and bring the
City’s downtown district in line with the Comprehensive Plan which the City adopted in 2016.

III. REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
The proposed “United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois Downtown Redevelopment Project Area
#2”, as legally described on Exhibit A hereto and depicted by the map attached hereto as Exhibit B (the
“Redevelopment Project Area”), encompasses some of the oldest structures in the United City of Yorkville
dating from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s including the Kendall County Courthouse originally built in
1864. This Downtown district is a mixed-use area with a range of commercial and retail uses, restaurants,
residential uses, public and civic uses with a few industrial uses remaining from the dependence on the
Fox River and freight rail line in the past. In the early 1970’s however, commercial development occurred
at the intersecting corridors of US Route 34 and Il Route 47 which included a strip retail center, big box
uses and businesses. This new auto-oriented commercial area significantly imported the Downtown
district and new private investment in the Downtown diminished. The current land uses within the
Project Area are detailed on the map attached hereto as Exhibit C.
In 2000, the City began to address the changing opportunities for redevelopment of the Downtown and
in 2005, adopted the “United City of Yorkville Downtown Vision Plan” which set forth recommendations
for development and redevelopment in this area. As a part of its strategy, in 2006, the City designated
the area as a “redevelopment project area” under the Act in order to revitalize the Downtown and
stimulate new development, redevelopment and rehabilitation in the Downtown.
The best efforts on the part of the City’s capable staff were thwarted by the country’s economic decline
occurring shortly after the adoption of the TIF Act. The opportunities for growth and redevelopment were
seriously limited for some period of time. Since the date of the adoption of the Act in 2006, as applicable
to the Downtown, the equalized assessed value of all properties included in this redevelopment project
area increased from $5,745,902 to $5,865,094 a total increase of approximately two percent (2%) in ten
(10) years.
The City has come to the realization that it must give more attention to the Downtown in order to retain
its colorful history while providing the infrastructure and amenities needed. The construction of the
Marge Cline Whitewater Course at Bicentennial Riverfront Park in 2010 was expected to create new
interest in the Downtown district, however, minimal redevelopment has occurred. This Redevelopment
Plan provides an updated coordinated plan for sixty (60) parcels of property included in the 2006
Downtown Redevelopment Project Area, and the addition of adjacent parcels in order to address the
recommendations provided by the City’s 2016 Comprehensive Plan and the improvements of the river
front.
The Project Area is positioned around the Route 47 and Van Emmon Street intersection and its general
boundary contains a majority of the parcels both north and south of Van Emmon Street from 5 blocks
West of Route 47 to 3 blocks east of Route 47, as well as parcels on the east side of Main Street from
Madison Street to Washington Street, parcels on the west side of Mill St from Van Emmon Street to Ridge
Street, parcels on the east side of Heustis Street from Van Emmon Street to Fox Street, and parcels on the
east side of Route 47 from Washington Street to Van Emmon Street.

IV. REDEVELOPMENT PLAN TO ADDRESS EXISTING CONDITIONS
A. Upon the designation of the Redevelopment Project Area as a “redevelopment project area” under
the Act, the City intends to use tax increment financing to pay Redevelopment Project Costs and
to stimulate private investment for development and redevelopment thereby eliminating those
conditions, the existence of which qualified both the improved area and vacant area of the proposed
Redevelopment Project Area. Under the Act, the purpose for preparation of a Redevelopment Plan
is to set forth a guide to be undertaken for activities with a goal toward stimulating comprehensive
and coordinated redevelopment in order to induce private investment.
As required by the Act, each Redevelopment Plan must include the program to be undertaken by
the municipality in order to complete its objectives and must set forth the following:
1. an itemized list of estimated redevelopment project costs;
2. evidence indicating that the redevelopment project area on the whole has not been subject
to growth and development through investment by private enterprise;
3. an assessment of any financial impact of the redevelopment project area on or any increased
demand for services from any taxing district affected by the plan and a program to address
such financial impact or increased demand;
4. the sources of funds to pay development or redevelopment costs;
5. the nature and term of the obligations to be issued, if any;
6. the most recent equalized assessed valuation of the proposed Redevelopment Project Area;
7. an estimate as to the equalized assessed valuation after redevelopment and the general land
uses to apply in the proposed Redevelopment Project Area;
8. a commitment to fair employment practices and an affirmative action plan;
9. if it concerns an industrial park conservation area, the plan shall also include a general
description of any proposed developer, user and tenant of any property; a description of the
type, structure and general character of the facilities to be developed, a description of the
type, class and number of new employees to be employed in the operation of the facilities to
be developed; and,
10. if property is to be annexed to the municipality, the plan shall include the terms of the
annexation agreement.
B. The Act prohibits the adoption of a Redevelopment Plan unless the municipality complies with the
following:
1. The municipality finds that the proposed redevelopment project area on the whole has not
been subject to growth and development through investment by private enterprise and would
not reasonably be anticipated to be developed without the adoption of the redevelopment
plan.
DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA #2 | DECEMBER 1, 2017
PAGE 5
2. The municipality finds that the redevelopment plan and project conform to the comprehensive
plan for the development of the municipality as a whole, or, for municipalities with a population
of 100,000 or more, regardless of when the redevelopment plan and project was adopted, the
redevelopment plan and project either: (i) conforms to the strategic economic development
or redevelopment plan issued by the designated planning authority of the municipality, or (ii)
includes land uses that have been approved by the planning commission of the municipality.
3. The redevelopment plan establishes the estimated dates of completion of the redevelopment
project and retirement of obligations issued which may be issued to finance redevelopment
project costs. Those dates may not be later than the dates set forth under Section 11-74.4-
3(n)(j)(3); i.e., not later than December 31 of the year in which the payment to the municipal
treasurer of Incremental Property Taxes is to be made with respect to real estate taxes levied
in the twenty-third year after the year in which the ordinance approving the Redevelopment
Project Area is adopted.

V. REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
A. Redevelopment Project Area Goals
In order to benefit from the Act and achieve new private investment within the proposed
Redevelopment Project Area, the City must establish a framework for guiding decisions to be made
as a part of the implementation of this Redevelopment Plan. These include:
1. Preservation of the history of the City through retention of historic structures.
2. Creation of an environment within the Redevelopment Project Area that will contribute more
positively to the health, safety and general welfare of the City and preserve or enhance the
value of properties in and adjacent to the Redevelopment Project Area.
3. An increase in the sales tax base of the City and the property tax base of overlapping taxing
districts.
4. Addition of new amenities, businesses and services to the City thereby creating new jobs and
retaining existing jobs for City and area residents.
5. Strengthening the economy and future economic viability of the Downtown and the larger
community.
6. Stabilizing a revitalized downtown business district.
7. Rehabilitation and renovation of structures within the Redevelopment Project Area to address
the current market place requirements.
8. Sound economic development within the Redevelopment Project Area that is consistent with
the 2016 Comprehensive Plan for the development of the Downtown and the City as a whole.
B. Redevelopment Objectives
The designation of the Redevelopment Project Area as a “redevelopment project area” under the Act
shall grant the City the power to:
1. Reduce or eliminate those conditions that qualified the Redevelopment Project Area as
a “conservation area”. Reduce or eliminate those blighting conditions in the improved
“conservation area” which qualified said area as a Redevelopment Project Area. Such
conditions include deterioration, inadequate utilities, lack of community planning and
a declining equalized assessed value as defined by the Act, as more fully described in the
Eligibility Study in order to encourage the redevelopment of the Redevelopment Project Area.
2. Encourage preservation of the historic appearance of buildings, rights-of-way, and open
spaces and encourage the development and improved standards of design.
3. Strengthen the economic vitality of the Redevelopment Project Area by increasing business
activity, improving the tax base, and providing job opportunities.
4. Stimulate through incentives, if necessary, new private investment in improvements and
redevelopment within the Redevelopment Project Area.
5. Provide needed public improvements to the infrastructure or facilities in proper relationship
to the projected demand for such facilities and in accordance with present-day standards
DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA #2 | DECEMBER 1, 2017
PAGE 7
for such facilities. Infrastructure improvements should address the problems cited in the
Eligibility Study in order to encourage redevelopment of the Redevelopment Project Area.
6. Provide needed financial assistance, if necessary, to induce a broad range of improvements.
7. Provide the renovation and rehabilitation of structures where economic obsolescence is a
material impediment to the redevelopment of the Redevelopment Project Area.
8. Address the deteriorating street pavement, sidewalks, parking areas, driveways and curbs.
9. Improve the visual attractiveness of the City through landscaping and coordination of design
in the Redevelopment Project Area.
10. Improve opportunities for commercial, office and mixed-use development and redevelopment.
C. Redevelopment Implementation Strategy
The implementation and conclusion of a well-devised redevelopment strategy is a key element
in the success of this Redevelopment Plan. In order to maximize program efficiency and to take
advantage of redevelopment interest in the Redevelopment Project Area, and with full consideration
of available funds, the City intends to proceed in an expeditious manner.
A combination of public and private investments is an essential element of this Redevelopment
Plan. In order to achieve the foregoing investments and improvements, the City may enter into
agreements, including agreements with private developers, proposing that assistance may
be provided pursuant to the Act, where deemed appropriate, to facilitate private projects and
development. The City may also contract with other entities, including governmental units, to
accomplish certain public and private projects as contained in this Redevelopment Plan.

VI. LACK OF DEVELOPMENT, GROWTH AND FISCAL IMPACT
ON TAXING DISTRICTS
A. Evidence of the lack of development and growth within the Redevelopment Project Area
As documented in the Eligibility Study, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit D,
the Redevelopment Project Area has suffered from a lack of growth and development through
investment by private enterprise and qualifies as a “conservation area”. Absent financial assistance
from the City, development or redevelopment in the Redevelopment Project Area is not reasonably
anticipated to occur.
The Redevelopment Project Area’s blighting conditions, as documented in the Eligibility Study,
are reasonably present to a meaningful extent, are reasonably distributed throughout the
Redevelopment Project Area, and will continue to worsen if not addressed by the City. In addition,
these conditions discourage private sector investment whether in development of residential
opportunities or commercial enterprises or in the redevelopment of existing facilities. Accordingly,
the City finds that actions taken, at least in part, through the implementation of this Redevelopment
Plan will significantly mitigate such problems.
B. Assessment of Fiscal Impact on Affected Taxing Districts
It is not anticipated that redevelopment projects implemented as part of this Redevelopment Plan will
have a negative financial impact on or cause increased demand for services or capital improvements
from any taxing district affected by the Redevelopment Plan. No current property taxes will be
diverted from any taxing district. Instead, taxing districts could benefit from distributions of any
surplus tax increment. Capital funds will also be available to assist in the development of public
improvements. The Redevelopment Project Costs set forth in Section VIII of this Redevelopment
Plan provide for significant amounts to pay taxing district capital costs in accordance with the Act
should impacts be greater than expected.
The following is an assessment of the impact on each individual taxing district:
Kendall County
There is expected to be no impact and no expected increase in demand for services or negative
financial impact.
Waubonsee Community College District #516
There is expected to be no impact and no expected increase in demand for services. Funds are also
available for job training.
United City of Yorkville
There is expected to be minimal impact and minimal expected increase in demand for services.
Funds are available for capital projects undertaken by the City within the Redevelopment Project
Area.
DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA #2 | DECEMBER 1, 2017
PAGE 9
Yorkville Unit School District 115
Residential development may be a component of the implementation of the Redevelopment Plan
for the Redevelopment Project Area. In the event the net amount of students from development
undertaken in the Redevelopment Project Area increases as a result of the TIF assistance to the
development of housing units, funds have been allocated in the budget for estimated Redevelopment
Project Costs hereinafter set forth for reimbursement pursuant to the Act. In addition, funds
are available for capital costs which may be incurred by the district as a result of activities in the
Redevelopment Project Area.
Kendall Township
There is expected to be no impact and no expected increase in demand for services or negative
financial impact.
Bristol Township
There is expected to be no impact and no expected increase in demand for services or negative
financial impact.
DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA #2 | DECEMBER 1, 2017
PAGE 10
VII. REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
Pursuant to the goals and objectives as stated in Article V, the City will implement a coordinated
program of action. The City may use any program element authorized by the Act including, but not
limited to, those listed below. The City proposes to achieve the redevelopment goals and objectives of
this Redevelopment Plan for the Redevelopment Project Area through the use of “incremental property
taxes” available to it pursuant to the Act and through public financing techniques including, but not
limited to, tax increment financing and by utilizing such other financing techniques deemed necessary
to undertake some or all of the following activities and improvements:
1. Analysis, Administration, Studies, Surveys, Legal, etc.
The City may undertake or engage professional consultants, engineers, architects, attorneys,
etc. to conduct various analyses, design façade improvements, study alternative potential uses,
survey current needs for the City, provide legal services to establish, implement and administer
the Redevelopment Plan.
2. Property Assembly
The City, or an agent for the City, may acquire and assemble land for the purpose of development
or redevelopment. Underutilized or misused property may be acquired by purchase, exchange,
or long-term lease by private developers or the City for the purpose of new development or
redevelopment.
3. Land Preparation
The City may assist in the preparation of land to include demolition, environmental remediation,
and flood mitigation.
4. Rehabilitation and Lease Hold Improvements
The City may assist in rehabilitation, remodel, repair, and lease hold improvements.
5. Land Acquisition
The City may purchase land within the proposed Redevelopment Project Area.
6. Development or Redevelopment Agreements
The City may enter into development and redevelopment agreements with private or public
entities in the furtherance of this Redevelopment Plan. Such agreements may be for the
assemblage of land, construction of improvements or facilities, improvement of access, the
provision of services, reimbursement of eligible redevelopment project costs under the Act or
any other lawful purpose. Agreements may contain terms and provisions that are more specific
than the controls that are summarized in this Redevelopment Plan.
In the case where a private individual or entity received benefits under the Act for the purpose
of originating, locating, maintaining, rehabbing, or expanding a business facility and abandons
or relocates its facility in violation of a redevelopment agreement, the City reserves the right to
collect reimbursement for funds extended in accordance with the Act.
DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA #2 | DECEMBER 1, 2017
PAGE 11
7. Provision of Public Works or Improvements
The City may provide public works and improvements that are necessary to service the
Redevelopment Project Area in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. Public works and
improvements may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Streets, Sidewalks, Lighting, Utilities, and Parking
Public infrastructure improvements may be necessary to adequately serve the
Redevelopment Project Area and potential new development. Improved access will be
necessary to develop portions of the Redevelopment Project Area. Certain infrastructure
improvements, in connection with and adjacent to the Redevelopment Project Area,
may be necessary to advance the goals and objectives of this Redevelopment Plan. It is
expected that streets, sidewalks, utilities (including any electrical or data upgrades needed
to accommodate current technology), and parking improvements will be part of any
redevelopment activity.
Landscaping
Landscape/buffer improvements, street lighting and general beautification improvements
may be provided.
Sanitary Sewer System
Improvements and rehabilitation of sanitary sewer mains to eliminate sewer backup
including the relining of existing sewer mains and replacement of manholes. In addition,
improvements to the City’s wastewater treatment system must be made, including the
construction of a new waste water treatment plant.
Stormwater Management
Analysis of the existing stormwater management structure and improvements as may
needed to be created to reduce stormwater runoff.
Coordinate Design for Improvement within the Redevelopment Project Area
Where possible, design elements should be planned in such a way as to make the
Redevelopment Project Area aesthetically pleasing. Consistent and coordinated design
patterns should be promoted.
Job Training
The City may assist facilities and enterprises located within the Redevelopment Project
Area in obtaining job training assistance. Job training and retraining programs currently
available from or through other governments include, but are not limited to:
• Federal programs;
• State of Illinois programs;
• Applicable local vocational educational programs, including community college
sponsored programs; and,
• Other federal, state, county, or non-profit programs that are currently available or will
be developed and initiated over time.

Interest Subsidy
Funds may be provided to reimburse redevelopers for a portion of interest costs related to
the construction of qualifying redevelopment facilities and improvements.
Assist in Financing Redevelopment Project Area Contiguous TIFs
Funds derived from either this Redevelopment Project Area or others that may be contiguous
are eligible to be used for the support of the other redevelopment programs under this
Redevelopment Plan.
The Project Area’s proposed land uses will be as detailed on the map attached hereto as Exhibit E.

PAGE 13
VIII. ESTIMATED REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT COSTS
The Act defines Redevelopment Project Costs as the sum total of all reasonable or necessary costs in-
curred or estimated to be incurred, and any such costs incidental to the Redevelopment Plan and its
implementation through development and redevelopment projects. All costs to be paid or reimbursed
in the Redevelopment Project Area will conform to this definition.
A wide range of redevelopment activities and improvements will be required to implement the Rede-
velopment Plan. The activities and improvements and their estimated costs (2017 dollars) are sum-
marized below. To the extent that obligations are issued to pay for such Redevelopment Project Costs
prior to, and in anticipation of, the adoption of TIF and designation of the Redevelopment Project Area,
the City may directly pay or be reimbursed from Incremental Property Taxes for such Redevelopment
Project Costs to their fullest extent. These costs are in addition to total Redevelopment Project Costs.
The total Redevelopment Project Costs set forth below are an upper estimate of expenditures and do
not commit the City to undertake any particular Redevelopment Project Costs.
While all of the costs in the budget below are eligible Redevelopment Project Costs under the Act and
this Redevelopment Plan, inclusion herein does not commit the City to finance all of these costs with
TIF funds.

rectly to employment, incurred by one or more taxing districts, provided that such costs (i)
are related to the establishment and maintenance of additional job training, advanced vo-
cational education or career education programs for persons employed or to be employed
by employers located in a Redevelopment Project Area; and (ii) when incurred by a taxing
district or taxing districts other than the municipality, are set forth in a written agreement

IX. MOST RECENT EQUALIZED ASSESSED VALUATION FOR
THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
The most recent equalized assessed valuation for the Redevelopment Project Area is based on 2016 and
is $4,487,777.00.
X. ANTICIPATED EQUALIZED ASSESSED VALUATION FOR
THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
Upon completion of the redevelopment of the Redevelopment Project Area over a twenty-three (23)
year period, it is estimated that the EAV of the property within the Redevelopment Project Area would
increase to between approximately $15,000,000 to $18,000,000 depending upon market conditions
and the scope of the redevelopment projects.
XI. COMMITMENT TO FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES AND
AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN
The City is committed to and will affirmatively implement the assurance of equal opportunity in all
personnel and employment actions with respect to this Redevelopment Plan. This includes, but is not
limited to: hiring, training, transfer, promotion, discipline, fringe benefits, salary, employment working
conditions, termination, etc. without regard to any non-merit factor, including race, national origin,
color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability (physical or mental), age, marital status,
status as a parent, or genetic information.
In order to implement this principle for this Redevelopment Plan, the City shall require and promote
equal employment practices and affirmative action on the part of itself and its contractors and vendors.
In particular, parties engaged by the City shall be required to agree to the principles set forth in this
section.
XII. COMPLETION OF REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AND RETIREMENT
OF OBLIGATIONS ISSUED TO FINANCE REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT COSTS
The Redevelopment Project is to be completed and all obligations issued to finance Redevelopment
Project Costs are to be retired upon receipt of the incremental property taxes generated from the
twenty-third (23rd) year after the adoption of an ordinance designating the Redevelopment Project
Area. The actual date for such completion and retirement of obligations shall not be later than Decem-
ber 31 of the year in which the payment to the City treasurer pursuant to the Act is to be made with
respect to ad valorem taxes levied in the twenty-third calendar year after the year in which the ordi-
nance approving the Redevelopment Project Area was adopted.
This Redevelopment Plan may be amended pursuant to the provisions of the Act.

ELIGIBILITY REPORT
UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE, KENDALL COUNTY, ILLINOIS
DECEMBER 1, 2017
PREPARED BY:
JASON ENGBERG
SENIOR PLANNER
DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA #2 ELIGIBILITY REPORT | DECEMBER 1, 2017
PAGE 1
The United City of Yorkville is seeking to establish a new Tax Increment Financing District (TIF) in the central
downtown portion of the City near Illinois Route 47 and Van Emmon Street. With the widening of Route 47, this
older area of the City has seen a variety of proposed developments not come to fruition and has been identified
as an area with significant economic development potential.
An existing Downtown Redevelopment Project Area was established in this general area in 2006. Due to the
timing of its establishment and the economic recession which followed, the existing Downtown Redevelopment
Project Area has not reached its potential in terms of development and increment generation. Overall, equalized
assessed values (EAVs) in the existing area have dropped and over the course of the past decade and those
values are the primary factor in generating TIF Increment revenues.
Since the adoption of a new Comprehensive Plan in 2016, Yorkville wants to encourage mixed-use structures
compatible with Riverfront Park. This new plan specifies a wider range of properties and blocks in the downtown
for potential mixed-use developments in the future than was thought in 2006. By developing a new TIF District
and Redevelopment Project Area, the entire downtown which is set for long term planning will be covered by
both districts.
This Eligibility Report compares the characteristics of the study area to criteria outlined in state statutes for
creation of a Redevelopment Project Area. As shown in Exhibit A – Project Area Boundary, the Project Area
is positioned around the Route 47 and Van Emmon Street intersection. The Project Area general boundary
contains a majority of the parcels both north and south of Van Emmon Street from 5 blocks West of Route 47 to
3 blocks east of Route 47, as well as parcels on the east side of Main Street from Madison Street to Washington
Street, parcels on the west side of Mill St from Van Emmon Street to Ridge Street, parcels on the east side of
Heustis Street from Van Emmon Street to Fox Street, and parcels on the east side of Route 47 from Washington
Street to Van Emmon Street.
The Project Area consists of 168 parcels containing 133 structures. The total area of the Project Area (including
right-of-way) is approximately 86.6 acres. The report that follows is an assessment of the eligibility of the
Downtown Redevelopment Project Area #2.

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
The Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, 65 ILCS 5/11 - 74.4 -1, et seq., as amended (the “Act”), stipulates
specific procedures which must be adhered to in designating a Redevelopment Project Area and amendments
thereto. A Redevelopment Project Area is defined as:
“…an area designated by the municipality, which is not less in the aggregate than 1 ½ acres and in
respect to which the municipality has made a finding that there exist conditions which cause the area
to be classified as an industrial park conservation area, or a blighted area or a conservation area, or a
combination of both blighted areas and conservation areas” (65 ILCS 5/ 11-74.4-3(p)).
Section 5/11-74.4-3(a) defines a “conservation area” as:
“…any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment project area located within the territorial
limits of the municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area have an age of 35 years or
more. Such an area is not yet a blighted area, but because of a combination of 3 or more of the following
factors: dilapidation; obsolescence; deterioration; presence of structures below minimum code standards;
illegal use of individual structures; excessive vacancies; lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary facilities;
inadequate utilities; excessive land coverage and overcrowding of structures and community facilities;
deleterious land use or layout; lack of community planning; environmental remediation costs impede
development; decline or minimal marginal increase in equalized assessed valuation; is detrimental to
the public safety, health, morals, or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area.”
This report summarizes the analyses and findings of the City’s Community Development Department.
The Downtown TIF District #2 Study Area (the “Project Area”) is eligible for designation as a conservation area
based on the presence of vacant parcels that exhibit:
(1) Deterioration of structures and site improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the vacant land;
(2) Need for environmental remediation;
(3) Declining total equalized assessed value, as defined by the act;
As well as the presence of improved parcels that exhibit:
(1) Age of buildings averaging greater than 35 years;
(2) Deterioration of site or structures on the subject parcels;
(3) Obsolescence;
(4) Inadequate utilities;
(5) Lack of community planning; and
(6) Declining total equalized assessed value, as defined by the Act.
The present condition of the Project Area inhibits development potential. This report elaborates further on the
specific conditions, which have contributed to this decline.

ELIGIBILITY FINDINGS
The United City of Yorkville Community Development Department conducted a field survey of every property
within the Project Area. Based on an inspection of the exteriors of buildings and grounds, field notes were taken
to record the condition for each parcel. This survey occurred on July 10, 2017. Photographs further document
the observed conditions. Field observations were supplemented with additional City information.
The Act indicates different qualifying criteria for vacant land and improved land. As illustrated in Exhibit B -
Vacant and Improved Land, the Project Area contains a mix of vacant and improved land uses. To ensure proper
designation, the vacant and improved parcels were evaluated according to the criteria for each respective land
use.
Obsolete platting refers to vacant land that results in parcels of limited or narrow size or configurations of parcels
of irregular size or shape that would be difficult to develop on a planned basis and in a manner compatible with
contemporary standards and requirements, or platting that failed to create right-of-ways for streets or alleys
or that created inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys, or other public right-of-way or that omitted
easements for public utilities.
The layout, shape, and size of vacant parcels located throughout the Project Area do not demonstrate obsolete
platting. Many of the parcels are located in the Kendallwood Estates subdivision which is platted specifically
for new single family home development. Additionally, the other vacant properties are an adequate size and
shape to develop the uses intended in their respective zones. Due to the lack of presence and distribution of
parcels exhibiting obsolete platting, this factor does not contribute to the designation of the Project Area as a
conservation area.
OBSOLETE PLATTING
VACANT LAND
In order to be designated as a blighted area, a combination of at least two (2) of the qualifying factors outlined
in the Act must be present to a meaningful extent and reasonably distributed throughout the Project Area (or
in this case, reasonably distributed throughout the vacant portion of the Project Area). Exhibit B illustrates the
vacant properties in the Project Area (50 parcels).
Diversity of ownership of parcels of vacant land sufficient in number to retard or impede the ability to assemble
the land for development. While there are several different owners of the vacant land within the Project Area, it
is not considered a major impediment to development. Therefore, diversity of ownership does not contribute
to the Project Area as a conservation area.
DIVERSITY OF OWNERSHIP
Tax and special assessment delinquencies exist or the property has been the subject of tax sales under the
Property Tax Code within the last 5 years. There are no significant known tax or special assessment delinquencies
present on the vacant parcels within the Project Area, and therefore, tax delinquency does not contribute to
the Project Area as a conservation area.

Deterioration of structures or site improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the vacant land refers to
physical deficiencies or disrepair in buildings or site improvements requiring treatment or repair. Examples of
deterioration of buildings and surface improvements on improved parcels within the Project Area are outlined in
the following section, “Improved Land.” Additionally, the parcels adjacent to the Kendallwood Estate properties
which are not in the proposed Project Area show minor site and building deterioration as determined by field
observations.
Due to the presence of structures and site improvements demonstrating deterioration in neighboring areas
adjacent to vacant parcels within the Project Area, deterioration is a contributing factor towards designation
of the Project Area as a conservation area.
DETERIORATION OF NEIGHBORING STRUCTURES OR SITES
This factor is relevant when the area has incurred Illinois Environmental Protection Agency or United States
Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study conducted by an independent consultant
recognized as having expertise in environmental remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks required by State or federal law,
provided that the remediation costs constitute a material impediment to the development or redevelopment
of the redevelopment project area.
There is approximately 2.4 acres of vacant property within the Project Area which require environmental
remediation per the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). A Comprehensive Site Investigation Report
was conducted in 2007 and the parcels are generally located between E Van Emmon Street and Hydraulic Street
and west of Heustis Street. The site is recognized by the IEPA as “Grainco” and is LPC# 0930255064. This accounts
of nearly 10% of the vacant property within the TIF and is a major site for redevelopment. The quantity of
environmental remediation sites compared to the overall vacant properties within the Project Area is significant
and does contribute to the Project area as a conservation area.
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
This factor can be cited if the total equalized assessed value of the proposed redevelopment project area has
declined for three of the last five calendar years, for which information is available; or is increasing at an annual
rate that is less than the balance of the municipality for three of the last five calendar years, for which information
is available; or is increasing at an annual rate that is less than the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
published by the United States Department of Labor or successor agency for three of the last five calendar years,
for which information is available.

Percent Change -9.55% -5.19% -0.47%1.94% 7.54%
The equalized assessed value for all the vacant parcels in the Project Area has decreased two out of the past five
levy years. The rate of growth of the vacant properties over the past five years compared to the City’s overall EAV
growth has been slower in 3 of the past 5 years (2012, 2015, 2016).
Decline in the equalized assessed value (EAV) contributes toward the designation of the Project Area as a
conservation area based on decline in EAV compared to the City’s total EAV over the past five years.

Based on field analysis and data collected from Kendall County, a total of 109 out of 126 (83.2%) structures
within the Project Area were built more than 35 years ago (1982). This exceeds the statutory requirement that at
least 50% of the buildings in the conservation area be 35 years of age or older.
AGE OF BUILDINGS
Dilapidation refers to an advanced state of disrepair or neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural
components of buildings or improvements in such a combination that a documented building condition
analysis determines that major repair is required or the defects are so serious and so extensive that the buildings
must be removed.
No structures in the Project Area display this extreme physical state of disrepair. Therefore, dilapidation does
not significantly contribute towards the designation of the Project Area as a conservation area.
DILAPIDATION
Obsolescence is the condition or process of falling into disuse. Obsolete structures have become ill-suited
for the original use. With respect to properties and buildings, the nature of obsolescence may be functional
or economic, or a combination of both. Generally, functional obsolescence relates to the physical utility of a
property or structure, and economic obsolescence relates to the ability of a property or building to compete in
the market place.
A. Functional Obsolescence
The design and spatial layout of buildings and site improvements and their geographical location
respond to market needs for specific uses at the time those buildings and improvements are constructed.
Additionally, buildings and improvements are designed within the technological constraints of the time.
Design and spatial layout characteristics of buildings and site improvements include, but are not limited
to, floor area, height, column spacing, loading and service areas, building orientation, on-site parking
and storage areas, and vehicular circulation. Over time, geographical and structural changes occur within
industries and real estate markets causing properties to become ill suited for their original use, resulting
in deficiencies in those buildings that limit their ability to function for their original purpose. This loss in
functionality and overall usefulness or desirability of a property, diminishes the value of the property and
the building.
B. Economic Obsolescence
Economic obsolescence is generally a result of building or site improvements that cause some degree
of market rejection, resulting in a diminished market value of the property for its original intended use.
Symptoms of economic obsolescence include excessive vacancies, lack of maintenance, deterioration,
and dilapidation of buildings and site improvements. Site improvements, including sewer and water
lines, public utility lines (gas, electric, and telephone), roadways, parking areas, parking structures,
sidewalks, curbs and gutters, lighting, etc., may also evidence obsolescence in terms of their relationship
to contemporary development standards for such improvements. Factors of this type of obsolescence
may include inadequate utility capacities, outdated designs, etc.
Typically, buildings with excessive vacancies or those classified as deteriorating or dilapidated contain
OBSOLESCENCE
IMPROVED LAND
In order to be designated as a conservation area, at least 50% of the structures must be 35 years or more in
age. Additionally, a combination of at least three of the other qualifying factors outlined in the Act must be
present to a meaningful extent and reasonably distributed throughout the Project Area. There are a total of 118
improved lots within the Project Area.
DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA #2 ELIGIBILITY REPORT | DECEMBER 1, 2017
PAGE 8
undesirable building or site improvement conditions that may be infeasible to cure, resulting in an accelerated
decline in market value. When not corrected, these building and site improvement deficiencies adversely impact
neighboring areas, thereby detracting from the physical, functional, and economic vitality of the overall area.
Obsolescence, both functional and economic, is widely present within the Project Area. There are a few
structures which are functionally and economically obsolete from their original use north of East Van Emmon
Street. Additionally, almost all of the parcels within the Project Area are functionally obsolete. The lot sizes and
shapes of the parcels do not conform to the standards the City currently maintains. This includes flag lots, parcels
without an access point, structures located on more than one parcel, and structures encroaching in required
yards. The layout of the parcels and the structures upon them are no longer functional and are a deterrent to
development. Therefore, the presence of both functional and economic obsolescence of buildings and site
improvements does significantly contribute towards the designation of the Project Area as a conservation
area.
With respect to buildings, deterioration refers to defects including, but not limited to, major defects in the
secondary building components such as doors, windows, porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia.
The field survey found that 38 out of 126 buildings (29%) exhibit these types of deteriorating characteristics.
These deteriorating effects include cracks in masonry walls and foundations, aging windows and doors,
deteriorating columns, and roofs and gutters in need of repair. These issues are widely distributed throughout
the Project Area.
With respect to surface improvements, the condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street
parking, and surface storage areas may evidence deterioration, including, but not limited to, surface cracking,
crumbling, potholes, depressions, loose paving material, and weeds protruding through paved surfaces.
Deterioration of surface improvements was found on 66 out of 126 parcels (52.4%) in the Project Area. Poor
condition of streets, sidewalks, paved parking areas, driveways, and curbs were the most common examples.
The distribution of deterioration, both of buildings and surface improvements, is widely distributed throughout
the Project Area (Exhibit C – Deterioration). In terms of overall deterioration, 22.7 acres of the 33.7 acres (67.4%)
of all parcels within the Project Area exhibit either building deterioration, site deterioration, or a combination
of both.
The presence of deterioration of buildings and surface improvements and its is reasonable distribution
throughout the area contributes towards the designation of the Project Area as a conservation area.
DETERIORATION
Illegal use of individual structures refers to the use of structures in violation of applicable federal, State, or local
laws, exclusive of those applicable to the presence of structures below minimum code standards.
The exterior field survey conducted by United City of Yorkville found no obvious instances of illegal use of
structures within the Project Area. Therefore, illegal use of individual structures does not contribute to the
designation of the Project Area as a conservation area.

Excessive vacancies refer to the presence of buildings that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent
an adverse influence on the area because of the frequency, extent, or duration of the vacancies.
Four of the 126 buildings are vacant or partially vacant throughout the Project Area (3.2%). Although vacancies
are present within the Project Area, they are concentrated, not evenly distributed throughout the Project Area,
and not numerous enough in quantity to be considered excessive. Therefore, excessive vacancies do not
contribute towards designation of the Project Area as a conservation area.
EXCESSIVE VACANCIES
Inadequate ventilation is characterized by the absence of adequate ventilation for light or air circulation in
spaces or rooms without windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or other noxious
airborne materials. Inadequate natural light and ventilation means the absence or inadequacy of skylights
or windows for interior spaces or rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by room area to window
area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities refer to the absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure,
bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and structural inadequacies preventing ingress and egress to and
from all rooms and units within a building.
None of the buildings in the Project Area are known to exhibit this characteristic of lack of ventilation, light
or sanitary facilities. Therefore, lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary facilities does not contribute to the
designation of the Project Area as a conservation area.
LACK OF VENTILATION, LIGHT, OR SANITARY FACILITIES
This factor relates to all underground and overhead utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage, sanitary
sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and electrical services that are shown to be inadequate. Inadequate
utilities are those that are: (i) of insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the redevelopment project area, (ii)
deteriorated, antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii)lacking within the redevelopment project area.
An evaluation of utilities within the Project Area was conducted by the City Engineer and Director of Public
Works. In terms of water services, there are several locations where the water mains are not sufficient in size to
meet capacity standards. This includes stretches along Madison Court, Main Street, and W Washington Street.
The sanitary sewer lines are sufficient in size for capacity in all of downtown but they are old clay pipes and
require lining. The deteriorating conditions of the existing sanitary sewer lines is a existing condition the City
has been actively trying to remedy. Finally, storm sewers are lacking within the entire Project Area. Since this
is the oldest part of the Yorkville community, the presence of storm sewers is below capacity. Additionally, the
sewer lines which do exist are old and deteriorating.
After the analysis conducted by the City Engineering Department and Public Works Department, there are many
utilities in the Project Area which are insufficient in capacity and quality. Therefore, the presence of inadequate
utilities is a contributing factor to the designation of the Project Area as a conservation area.
INADEQUATE UTILITIES
Deleterious land uses include the existence of incompatible land-use relationships, buildings occupied by
inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for the surrounding area.
While there are several locations within the Project Area which have incompatible land uses next to each
other, for example manufacturing next to residential, a majority of the land uses in the area are residential
and compatible with on another. Therefore, deleterious land use does not significantly contribute to the
designation of the Project Area as a conservation area.
DELETERIOUS LAND USE OR LAYOUT
DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA #2 ELIGIBILITY REPORT | DECEMBER 1, 2017
PAGE 13
This factor relates to the over-intensive use of property and the crowding of buildings and accessory facilities
onto a site. Examples of problem conditions warranting the designation of an area as exhibiting excessive
land coverage are: the presence of buildings either improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels of
inadequate size and shape, in relation to present-day standards of development for health and safety, and the
presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel. For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage, these
parcels must exhibit one or more of the following conditions: insufficient provision for light and air within or
around buildings, increased threat of spread of fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of adequate or
proper access to a public right-of-way, lack of reasonably required off-street parking, or inadequate provision
for loading and service.
There are 6 out of the 131 structures (4.6%) which excessively cover the parcels where they are located . Therefore,
excessive land coverage and overcrowding of structures and community facilities does not contribute to
the designation of the Project Area as a conservation area.
EXCESSIVE LAND COVERAGE AND OVERCROWDING OF STRUCTURES
Lack of community planning occurs when the proposed redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This means that the development occurred prior to the
adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community plan or that the plan was not followed
at the time of the area’s development. This factor must be documented by evidence of adverse or incompatible
land-use relationships, inadequate street layout, improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size
to meet contemporary development standards, or other evidence demonstrating an absence of effective
community planning.
The United City of Yorkville adopted its first Comprehensive Plan in 1974. A majority of the parcels and structures
within the Project Area were platted and constructed before the City had a plan for the area’s development.
Additionally, there are an abundant amount of parcels which are oddly shaped, have structures on them which
are oddly laid out and have small setbacks from neighbors, and there are many incompatible land uses adjacent
to each other. All of these factors illustrate a lack of community planning throughout the entire Project Area.
Lack of community planning is prevalent throughout the Project Area, and therefore, qualifies as a factor
towards designation of a conservation area.
LACK OF COMMUNITY PLANNING
This factor is relevant when the area has incurred Illinois Environmental Protection Agency or United States
Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study conducted by an independent consultant
recognized as having expertise in environmental remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks required by State or federal law,
provided that the remediation costs constitute a material impediment to the development or redevelopment
of the redevelopment project area.
There are no improved properties which require environmental remediation. Therefore, this factor does not
contribute to the designation of the Project Area as a conservation area.
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA #2 ELIGIBILITY REPORT | DECEMBER 1, 2017
PAGE 14
Structures below minimum code standards include all structures that do not meet the standards of zoning,
subdivision, building, fire, and other governmental codes applicable to property, but not including housing and
property maintenance codes.
In 2013, the City began a substantive and concentrated effort to address ongoing building code violations
throughout the downtown. Over the past four (4) years of conducting these “downtown sweeps”, the City has
issued nearly 80 citations resulting in numerous violations and judgments. While a majority of these citations
were property maintenance related, the more significant building code violations were related to either exterior
damage or structural soundness, which have been addressed with the recent demolition of several buildings.
At the time the field survey was conducted, information was gathered from the City’s Building Official; it was
determined that there were no presence of structures below minimum code standards. While there are several
buildings showing deterioration or violation of current zoning bulk regulations, these structures are considered
legally non-conforming uses and therefore do not qualify as they are currently legal structures. The City maintains
but for future redevelopment in this area, continual building code violations will occur.
The presence of structures below minimum code standards does not contribute towards the designation
of the Project Area as a conservation area.
PRESENCE OF STRUCTURES BELOW MINIMUM CODE STANDARDS
This factor can be cited if the total equalized assessed value of the proposed redevelopment project area has
declined for three of the last five calendar years, for which information is available; or is increasing at an annual
rate that is less than the balance of the municipality for three of the last five calendar years, for which information
is available; or is increasing at an annual rate that is less than the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
published by the United States Department of Labor or successor agency for three of the last five calendar years,
for which information is available.

Decline in the equalized assessed value (EAV) contributes toward the designation of the Project Area as a
conservation area based on decline in EAV of the Project Area over the previous five years.

Based on the findings contained herein, the Project Area qualifies as a conservation area according to the criteria
established by the Act, based on the predominance and extent of parcels exhibiting the following primary
characteristics:
VACANT LAND
(1) Deterioration of structures and site improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the vacant land;
(2) Need for environmental remediation;
(3) Declining total equalized assessed value, as defined by the act.
IMPROVED LAND
(1) Age of buildings averaging greater than 35 years;
(2) Deterioration of site or structures on the subject parcels;
(3) Obsolescence
(4) Inadequate utilities;
(5) Lack of community planning; and
(6) Declining total equalized assessed value, as defined by the Act.
Each of these factors contributes significantly to the eligibility of the Project Area as a conservation area. All of
these characteristics point to the need for designation of the Project Area as a conservation area, to be followed
by public intervention in order that redevelopment might occur.

DRAFT
DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA #2 HOUSING STUDY | DECEMBER 1, 2017
PAGE 1
For the Downtown Redevelopment Project Area #2 Study Area, officials of the United City of Yorkville have
determined that, without direct municipal involvement and financial assistance, planning objectives for the
area cannot be met. To encourage new investment in the Yorkville Downtown Redevelopment Project Area #2,
the City has decided to utilize Tax Increment Financing (TIF) as one of several potential financial tools to facilitate
redevelopment.
As a part of the feasibility study for a proposed TIF district, the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (65
ILCS 5/11 - 74.4 - 1, et seq.) (the Act) stipulates that a Housing Impact Study must be prepared when:
“the redevelopment plan would result in the displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
residential units, or if the redevelopment project area contains 75 or more inhabited residential
units and no certification is made [ that the redevelopment plan will not result in displacement of
residents]... (Section 11-74.4-3(n)(5))”
The implementation of the Downtown Redevelopment Project Area #2 Redevelopment Plan may result in the
displacement of as many as 8 residential units. While this does not exceed the displacement of 10 or more
inhabited residential unit’s threshold, the redevelopment project area contains 102 inhabited residential
dwelling units, which is greater than the threshold of 75 or more inhabited dwelling units. Therefore, completion
of this Housing Impact Study is required. This estimate is based on a field inventory completed as a part of
the TIF Eligibility Study, conducted on July 10, 2017. The City has recently prepared a Comprehensive Plan
which recommends future land uses within the proposed Yorkville Downtown Redevelopment Project Area #2.
Some of the existing residential units have been projected to be displaced in order to facilitate redevelopment
opportunities. Therefore, the United City of Yorkville has prepared this report to satisfy the requirements of
Section 11-74.4-3(n)(5).
The number and type of residential buildings in the Project Area potentially affected by the Redevelopment Plan
were identified during the building condition and land use survey conducted as part of the eligibility analysis for
the Project Area. A good faith estimate and determination of the number of residential units within each such
building, whether such residential units were inhabited, and whether the inhabitants were low-income or very
low-income households were based on a number of research and analytical tools including physical building
surveys, data received from the City of Yorkville, and the 2015 American Community Survey (ACS).
INTRODUCTION
DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA #2 HOUSING STUDY | DECEMBER 1, 2017
PAGE 2
The Act stipulates specific information that must be provided in a Housing Impact Study. According to the Act,
Part I of the Housing Impact Study shall include:
i. data as to whether the residential units are single family or multi-family units,
ii. the number and type of rooms within the units, if that information is available,
iii. whether the units are inhabited or uninhabited, as determined not less than 45 days before the date
that the ordinance or resolution required by subsection (a) of Section 11-74.4-5 is passed, and
iv. data as to the racial and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited residential units. The
data requirement as to the racial and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited residential
units shall be deemed to be fully satisfied by data from the most recent federal census.
PART 1: HOUSING INVENTORY
Table 1 describes the residential units by type.

TYPE OF RESIDENTIAL USES
For purposes of this study, data has been gathered from the United States Census 2015 American Community
Survey and represented in the form of Block Groups. A Block Group is a combination of census blocks. The Block
Group is the lowest level of geography for which the Census Bureau has tabulated data. In this study, Yorkville
has relied on the 2015 American Community Survey because it contains the best available information regarding
the structures and residents of the Downtown TIF District #2. The Project Area contains portions of the block
group 1 and block group 4 of Census Tract 8906.00. In total, there are 102 housing units and approximately 264
residents within the Project Area (Table 2).

Table 3 shows the estimated number of bedrooms in residential units in the Downtown Redevelopment Project
Area #2. As defined by the Census Bureau, number of bedrooms includes all rooms intended for use as bedrooms
even if they are currently used for some other purpose. A residential unit consisting of only one room, such as a
one-room efficiency apartment, is classified by definition as having no bedroom.

NUMBER OF BEDROOMS
Table 4 shows the estimated number of conventional residential units in the Downtown Redevelopment
Project Area #2 with kitchen and plumbing facilities. As defined by the Census Bureau, a unit has complete
kitchen facilities when it has all of the following: (1) an installed sink with piped water; (2) a range, cook top and
convection or microwave oven, or cook stove; and (3) a refrigerator. All kitchen facilities must be located in the
structure. They need not be in the same room. Portable cooking equipment is not considered a range or cook
stove. An ice box is not considered to be a refrigerator. As defined by the Census Bureau, complete plumbing
facilities include hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet, and a bathtub or shower. All three facilities must be
located inside the house, apartment, or mobile home, but not necessarily in the same room. Housing facilities
are classified as lacking complete plumbing facilities when any of the three facilities are not present.

INHABITED UNITS
The occupancy status of the residential units in the Project Area must be determined not less than 45 days
prior to the adoption of an ordinance or resolution fixing the time and place for public hearing. As of that
date, as determined initially by a building-by-building field survey, an estimated 1.1% of units in the
Downtown Redevelopment Project Area #2 were determined to be uninhabited (1 Dwelling Unit). Therefore,
93 residential units in the Project Area are assumed to be inhabited.

As required by the Act, the racial and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited residential units is
determined according to the most recent Federal census data. As noted, there are an estimated 264 residents
in project area. Racial and ethnic composition is available from the 2015 American Community Survey. Table 5
identifies residents by their racial and ethnic composition, and estimates the racial and ethnic composition of
the estimated 264 residents of the Downtown Redevelopment Project Area #2.

RACIAL AND ETHNIC COMPOSITION
The distribution of household income for residents within the Project Area is based on 2015 American Community
Survey data. In order to estimate the number of moderate, low, very low, and extremely low-income households
in the Project Area, Census Tract household incomes from the 2015 American Community Survey were used. As
determined by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), the definitions of the income
categories, adjusted for household size, are as follows:
i. An extremely low-income household has an adjusted income of not more than 30% of the area median
income.
ii. A very low-income household has an adjusted income of more than 30% and not more than 50% of the
area median income.
iii. A low-income household has an adjusted income of more than 50% and not more than 80% of the area
median.
iv. A moderate-income household has an adjusted income of more than 80% and not more than 120% of
the area median.
The median household income for the City of Yorkville is $89,850, based on data from the 2015 American
Community Survey. The estimates of households at or below the moderate-income level collectively represent
approximately 61.4% of the total inhabited residential units in the Project Area. As a result, the City will implement
the Redevelopment Plan (including the requirements applicable to composition of the joint review board under
Section 11-74.4-5(b)of the Act) as if more than 50 percent of the residential units are occupied by extremely low,
very low, low ,or moderate income households.

1. Definition of Extremely Low Income Household as defined by the Illinois Affordable Housing Act:
“Extremely low-income household” means a single person, family or unrelated persons living together
whose adjusted income is not more than 30% of the median income of the area of residence.
2. Definition of Very Low Income Household as defined by the Illinois Affordable Housing Act: “Very low-
income household” means a single person, family or unrelated persons living together whose adjusted
income is not more than 50% of the median income of the area of residence.
3. Definition of Low Income Household as defined by the Illinois Affordable Housing Act: “Low-income
household” means a single person, family or unrelated persons living together whose adjusted income
is more than 50% but less than 80% of the median income of the area of residence.
4. “ Moderate income household” means a single person, family or unrelated persons living together whose
adjusted income is more than 80% but less than 120% of the median income of the area of residence.
5. The percentages of the study area households that qualify as extremely low, very low, low, and moderate
income were determined at the block group level, as per 2014 American Community Survey data.

The Act specifies that the second part of a Housing Impact Study must:
“…identify the inhabited residential units in the proposed redevelopment project area that are to
be or may be removed. If inhabited residential units are to be removed, then the housing impact
study shall identify (i) the number and location of those units that will or may be removed, ( ii) the
municipality’s plans for relocation assistance for those residents in the proposed redevelopment
project area whose residences are to be removed, (iii) the availability of replacement housing for
those residents whose residences are to be removed, and shall identify the type, location, and cost of
the housing, and (iv) the type and extent of relocation assistance to be provided.”
PART 2: RELOCATION PLANS
The Redevelopment Plan indicates that inhabited residential units may be redeveloped during the 23-year
lifetime of the TIF. Residential units may be displaced from the Downtown Redevelopment Project Area
#2 in order to facilitate potential future development opportunities. The potential removal of any buildings
containing residential units and any displacement of residents of inhabited units will be done within the intent
of the Redevelopment Plan. These units, if displaced, are likely to be displaced over time throughout the life of
the Redevelopment Plan.
RESIDENTIAL UNITS WHICH MAY BE DISPLACED
According to data in the 2015 American Community Survey, approximately 79% of housing units in the
Downtown Redevelopment Project Area #2 are owner occupied. Conversely, approximately 20% of housing
units in TIF District #2 are estimated to be renter occupied. The remaining 1% of residential units are vacant.
Therefore, both for-sale and for-rent units are considered for potential replacement housing.

Owner Occupied 81 79.4%
Renter Occupied 20 19.6%
Vacant 1 1.0%
Total:102 100.0%
Source: 2015 American Community Survey
In order to determine appropriate replacement housing, real estate listings were examined in areas in close
proximity to the Downtown Redevelopment Project Area #2. According to the 2015 American Community
Survey, the median home value in Yorkville is $232,500, and according to www.trulia.com the median rent
per month for a single family home is $1,595. Listings were obtained for homes with list prices approximately
equivalent to the market values of homes which may be displaced ($260,000 and below). The location, type,
and cost of a sample of possible replacement housing units in these areas are shown in Tables 8 and 9. The
information presented is based on classified advertisements from multiple sources, including Trulia.com and
Zillow.com during July 2017. If relocation for displaced residents of the Downtown Redevelopment Project Area
#2 is required, there are similar priced single-family homes and rental units available both within the City of
Yorkville and in the immediate vicinity.

CITY’S PLANS FOR RELOCATION ASSISTANCE AND TYPE AND EXTENT OF RELOCATION ASSISTANCE
The TIF Act allows the City of Yorkville to provide relocation assistance to residents displaced by the
Redevelopment Plan. The City plans on providing relocation assistance to those individuals who qualify under
the TIF Act. As stated, the City will utilize guidelines from the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real
Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA) and other federal guidelines as the basis for its relocation
assistance where appropriate.
In addition, to the extent that any removal or displacement will affect households of low-income and very low
income persons, the City will provide affordable housing and relocation assistance not less than that which
would be provided under the URA and the regulations thereunder, including the eligibility criteria. Affordable
housing may either be existing or newly constructed housing and the City shall make a good faith effort to
ensure that the affordable housing is located in or near the Project Area. For the purposes of this Housing
Impact Study, “low-income households”, “very low-income households”, and “affordable housing” shall have the
meanings set forth in the Illinois Affordable Housing Act.
DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA #2 HOUSING STUDY | DECEMBER 1, 2017

Housing Act of 1937 (“Section 8”); (ii) “very low-income household” means a single person, family, or unrelated
persons living together whose adjusted income is not more than 50 percent of the median income of the area
of residence, adjusted for family size, as so determined by HUD for the purposes of Section 8 of the United
States Housing Act of 1937; and (iii) “affordable housing” means residential housing that, so long as the same
is occupied by low-income households or very low-income households, requires payment of monthly housing

Summary
Review of staff proposals for action plans related to the City Council’s highest priority goal,
Manufacturing and Industrial development.
Update
At the February 6, 2018 Economic Development Committee received the below update on the
Manufacturing and Industrial City Council Goal along with an Action Plans. There has been an update
since that meeting regarding the BNSF Site Certification process. The update is summarized below.
Staff had a conference call with the Manager of Economic Development of BNSF, who is also
the Manager of the Site Certification Program. She reviewed the items that BNSF considers important
for Certification, which include level of readiness, availability of rail, size and location. Once selected,
BNSF conducts an in-depth review of the sites to determine if they meet the readiness standards, which
are intended to minimize development risks and increase speed to market. Some of the key
requirements for the site certification program include:
Documentation of site ownership
Commitment of site availability
Detailed description of site and survey by qualified professional
Letters from utility providers summarizing their capability to provide industrial services
Report that delineates all bodies of water on and near site
Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment
Cultural report/study
Endangered Species study to determine presence of any animal or plant species designated as
endangered or threatened under US and state laws
Rail and Road access
Of those items listed above, there are two hurdles to this certification that staff was unaware of
until the conference call.
1. The program is eligible for property owners. The City must own the site or the property owner
must be the primary applicant.
2. The property must have a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment completed.
Because of the significant undertaking and/or costs of both of the large hurdles, staff is recommending
pivoting the BNSF Certification process. Instead of the City being the applicant, staff will work with
the property owners of the parcels to educate them on the benefit of the certification process. Staff will

Action Plan
assist the property owner(s) with the application process and studies that would need to be completed
prior to submittal. Thus the redesigned action plan for the BNSF Site Certification is:
a. Continue with information gathering on the BNSF Site Certification Process. The next steps
include meeting with BNSF Officials, and then Wrigley and Lincoln Prairie representatives to
educate them about the benefits of the program and steps for which the City can assist. Provided
both landowners are supportive of the program, the site certification process takes 1-2 years to
complete.
Recommendation
Staff is requesting feedback on the amended action plan.
