 5             primary  structural  components  of   buildings   or
 6             improvements in such a combination that a documented
 7             building  condition  analysis  determines that major
 8             repair is required or the defects are so serious and
 9             so extensive that the buildings must be removed.
10                  (B)  Obsolescence.  The condition or process of
11             falling  into   disuse.   Structures   have   become

 1             Examples  of  problem  conditions   warranting   the
 2             designation  of  an area as one exhibiting excessive
 3             land coverage are: (i)  the  presence  of  buildings
 4             either  improperly situated on parcels or located on
 5             parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation  to
 6             present-day  standards of development for health and
 7             safety and (ii) the presence of  multiple  buildings
 8             on  a  single  parcel.  For there to be a finding of
 9             excessive land coverage, these parcels must  exhibit
10             one   or   more   of   the   following   conditions:
11             insufficient  provision  for light and air within or
12             around buildings, increased threat of spread of fire
13             due to the close proximity  of  buildings,  lack  of
14             adequate  or proper access to a public right-of-way,
15             lack of reasonably required off-street  parking,  or
16             inadequate provision for loading and service.
17                  (J)  Deleterious   land  use  or  layout.   The
18             existence of  incompatible  land-use  relationships,
19             buildings  occupied  by inappropriate mixed-uses, or
20             uses  considered  to  be  noxious,   offensive,   or
21             unsuitable for the surrounding area.
22                  (K)  Environmental   clean-up.    The  proposed
23             redevelopment project  area  has  incurred  Illinois
24             Environmental  Protection  Agency  or  United States
25             Environmental Protection  Agency  remediation  costs
26             for,   or   a  study  conducted  by  an  independent
27             consultant  recognized  as   having   expertise   in
28             environmental remediation has determined a need for,
29             the   clean-up   of   hazardous   waste,   hazardous
30             substances, or underground storage tanks required by
31             State  or federal law, provided that the remediation
32             costs  constitute  a  material  impediment  to   the
33             development  or  redevelopment  of the redevelopment
34             project area.

 1                  (L)  Lack of community planning.  The  proposed
 2             redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
 3             without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.
 4             This  means  that  the development occurred prior to
 5             the adoption by the municipality of a  comprehensive
 6             or  other  community  plan  or that the plan was not
 7             followed at the  time  of  the  area's  development.
 8             This  factor  must  be  documented  by  evidence  of
 9             adverse   or  incompatible  land-use  relationships,
10             inadequate  street  layout,  improper   subdivision,
11             parcels   of  inadequate  shape  and  size  to  meet
12             contemporary   development   standards,   or   other
13             evidence  demonstrating  an  absence  of   effective
14             community planning.
15                  (M)  The  total equalized assessed value of the
16             proposed redevelopment project area has declined for
17             3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year  in
18             which  the  redevelopment project area is designated
19             or is increasing at an annual rate that is less than
20             the balance of the municipality for 3 of the last  5
21             calendar years for which information is available or
22             is  increasing  at  an annual rate that is less than
23             the Consumer Price Index  for  All  Urban  Consumers
24             published  by  the United States Department of Labor
25             or successor agency for 3 of  the  last  5  calendar
26             years  prior  to the year in which the redevelopment
27             project area is designated.
28             (2)  If   vacant,   the   sound   growth   of    the
29        redevelopment  project  area is impaired by a combination
30        of 2 or more of the following factors, each of  which  is
31        (i)   present,   with  that  presence  documented,  to  a
32        meaningful extent so that a municipality  may  reasonably
33        find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
34        of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the
 
HB0665 Enrolled             -6-                LRB9103358PTpk
 1        vacant part of the redevelopment project area to which it
 2        pertains:
 3                  (A)  Obsolete  platting  of  vacant  land  that
 4             results  in  parcels  of  limited  or narrow size or
 5             configurations of parcels of irregular size or shape
 6             that would be difficult  to  develop  on  a  planned
 7             basis  and  in a manner compatible with contemporary
 8             standards and requirements, or platting that  failed
 9             to  create  rights-of-ways  for streets or alleys or
10             that  created  inadequate  right-of-way  widths  for
11             streets, alleys, or other  public  rights-of-way  or
12             that omitted easements for public utilities.
13                  (B)  Diversity   of  ownership  of  parcels  of
14             vacant land sufficient in number to retard or impede
15             the ability to assemble the land for development.
16                  (C)  Tax and special  assessment  delinquencies
17             exist  or  the  property has been the subject of tax
18             sales under the Property Tax Code within the last 5
19             years.
20                  (D)  Deterioration  of   structures   or   site
21             improvements  in  neighboring  areas adjacent to the
22             vacant land.
23                  (E)  The    area    has    incurred    Illinois
24             Environmental Protection  Agency  or  United  States
25             Environmental  Protection  Agency  remediation costs
26             for,  or  a  study  conducted  by   an   independent
27             consultant   recognized   as   having  expertise  in
28             environmental remediation has determined a need for,
29             the   clean-up   of   hazardous   waste,   hazardous
30             substances, or underground storage tanks required by
31             State or federal law, provided that the  remediation
32             costs   constitute  a  material  impediment  to  the
33             development or redevelopment  of  the  redevelopment
34             project area.

 1                  (F)  The  total equalized assessed value of the
 2             proposed redevelopment project area has declined for
 3             3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year  in
 4             which  the  redevelopment project area is designated
 5             or is increasing at an annual rate that is less than
 6             the balance of the municipality for 3 of the last  5
 7             calendar years for which information is available or
 8             is  increasing  at  an annual rate that is less than
 9             the Consumer Price Index  for  All  Urban  Consumers
10             published  by  the United States Department of Labor
11             or successor agency for 3 of  the  last  5  calendar
12             years  prior  to the year in which the redevelopment
13             project area is designated.
14             (3)  If   vacant,   the   sound   growth   of    the
15        redevelopment  project  area  is  impaired  by one of the
16        following factors that (i) is present, with that presence
17        documented, to a meaningful extent so that a municipality
18        may reasonably find that the factor  is  clearly  present
19        within  the  intent  of  the  Act  and (ii) is reasonably
20        distributed   throughout   the   vacant   part   of   the
21        redevelopment project area to which it pertains:
22                  (A)  The area consists of one  or  more  unused
23             quarries, mines, or strip mine ponds.

25             rail tracks, or railroad rights-of-way.
26                  (C)  The area, prior  to  its  designation,  is
27             subject  to  chronic flooding that adversely impacts
28             on real property in  the  area  as  certified  by  a
29             registered   professional  engineer  or  appropriate
30             regulatory agency.
31                  (D)  The area consists of an unused or  illegal
32             disposal  site  containing  earth,  stone,  building

 2                  (E)  Prior  to  November  1, 1999 the effective
 3             date of this amendatory  Act  of  the  91st  General
 4             Assembly, the area is not less than 50 nor more than
 5             100    acres    and   75%   of   which   is   vacant
 6             (notwithstanding that the area  has  been  used  for
 7             commercial  agricultural  purposes  within  5  years
 8             prior   to  the  designation  of  the  redevelopment
 9             project area), and the area meets at  least  one  of
10             the  factors  itemized  in  paragraph  (1)  of  this
11             subsection,  the  area has been designated as a town
12             or village center by ordinance or comprehensive plan

14             not been developed for that designated purpose.
15                  (F)  The  area qualified as a blighted improved
16             area immediately prior to  becoming  vacant,  unless
17             there has been substantial private investment in the
18             immediately surrounding area.
19        (b)  For  any  redevelopment  project  area that has been
20    designated pursuant to this Section by an  ordinance  adopted

31    structures in the area have an age of 35 years or more.  Such
32    an  area is  not  yet  a  blighted  area  but  because  of  a
33    combination  of  3  or  more  of  the  following  factors  is
34    detrimental  to  the public safety, health, morals or welfare

14             (11)  Lack  of  community  planning.   The  proposed
15        redevelopment project area  was  developed  prior  to  or
16        without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This
17        means that the development occurred prior to the adoption
18        by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community
19        plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the
20        area's  development.   This  factor must be documented by
21        evidence   of   adverse    or    incompatible    land-use

33    from  sales  by   retailers   and   servicemen   within   the
34    redevelopment  project  area  or State Sales Tax Boundary, as
 
HB0665 Enrolled             -14-               LRB9103358PTpk
 1    the case may be, for as long  as  the  redevelopment  project
 2    area  or  State Sales Tax Boundary, as the case may be, exist
 3    over and above the aggregate amount of taxes as certified  by
 4    the  Illinois  Department  of  Revenue  and  paid  under  the
 5    Municipal  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax  Act and the Municipal
 6    Service Occupation Tax Act by retailers  and  servicemen,  on

 9    the  case  may  be,  during  the base year which shall be the
10    calendar year immediately prior to  the  year  in  which  the

12    purposes  of computing the aggregate amount of such taxes for
13    base years occurring prior to 1985, the Department of Revenue
14    shall determine the Initial Sales Tax Amounts for such  taxes
15    and  deduct  therefrom an amount equal to 4% of the aggregate
16    amount of taxes per year for each year the base year is prior

28    Retailers'  Occupation  Tax  Act  and  the  Municipal Service
29    Occupation Tax Act.  For the State  Fiscal  Year  1989,  this
30    calculation shall be made by utilizing the calendar year 1987
31    to  determine the tax amounts received.  For the State Fiscal
32    Year 1990, this calculation shall be made  by  utilizing  the
33    period  from  January  1,  1988, until September 30, 1988, to
34    determine  the  tax  amounts  received  from  retailers   and

 4    Initial  Sales  Tax  Amounts,  the Adjusted Initial Sales Tax
 5    Amounts  or  the  Revised  Initial  Sales  Tax   Amounts   as
 6    appropriate. For the State Fiscal Year 1991, this calculation
 7    shall  be  made by utilizing the period from October 1, 1988,
 8    to June 30, 1989, to determine the tax amounts received  from
 9    retailers and servicemen pursuant to the Municipal Retailers'
10    Occupation  Tax  and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax Act
11    which shall have  deducted  therefrom  nine-twelfths  of  the
12    certified  Initial  Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales
13    Tax Amounts or the  Revised  Initial  Sales  Tax  Amounts  as
14    appropriate.  For  every  State  Fiscal  Year thereafter, the
15    applicable period shall be the 12 months beginning July 1 and
16    ending June 30 to determine the tax  amounts  received  which
17    shall have deducted therefrom the certified Initial Sales Tax
18    Amounts,  the  Adjusted  Initial  Sales  Tax  Amounts  or the
19    Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts, as the case may be.

29    increment financing district in a county with a population in
30    excess  of  3,000,000  before  January  1,  1986,   and   the
31    municipality  entered  into  a contract or issued bonds after

10    year 16; 80% in year 17; 70% in year 18; 60% in year 19;  and
11    50%  in  year 20. Refunding of any bonds issued prior to June
12    1, 1988, shall not alter the revised Net  State  Utility  Tax
13    Increment payments set forth above.
14        (l)  "Obligations"  mean bonds, loans, debentures, notes,
15    special certificates or other evidence of indebtedness issued
16    by the municipality to carry out a redevelopment  project  or
17    to refund outstanding obligations.
18        (m)  "Payment in lieu of taxes" means those estimated tax
19    revenues  from  real property in a redevelopment project area
20    derived from real  property  that  has  been  acquired  by  a
21    municipality  which according to the redevelopment project or
22    plan is to be used for a private use which  taxing  districts
23    would  have received had a municipality not acquired the real
24    property and adopted tax increment allocation  financing  and
25    which  would  result  from  levies made after the time of the
26    adoption of tax increment allocation financing  to  the  time
27    the   current   equalized  value  of  real  property  in  the
28    redevelopment  project  area  exceeds   the   total   initial
29    equalized value of real property in said area.
30        (n)  "Redevelopment plan" means the comprehensive program
31    of the municipality for development or redevelopment intended

 2    park conservation area," and thereby to enhance the tax bases
 3    of  the  taxing districts which extend into the redevelopment
 4    project area.  On and after November 1, 1999  (the  effective
 5    date  of  Public  Act 91-478) this amendatory Act of the 91st
 6    General Assembly, no redevelopment plan may  be  approved  or

10    government as public land for outdoor recreational activities
11    or  for  nature  preserves and used for that purpose within 5
12    years prior to the adoption of the redevelopment  plan.   For
13    the  purpose of this subsection, "recreational activities" is
14    limited to mean camping and hunting.  Each redevelopment plan
15    shall  set  forth  in writing the program to be undertaken to
16    accomplish the objectives   and  shall  include  but  not  be
17    limited to:
18             (A)  an  itemized  list  of  estimated redevelopment
19        project costs;
20             (B)  evidence  indicating  that  the   redevelopment
21        project  area on the whole has not been subject to growth

25        services  from  any  taxing district affected by the plan
26        and any program  to  address  such  financial  impact  or
27        increased demand;
28             (D)  the sources of funds to pay costs;
29             (E)  the  nature  and  term of the obligations to be
30        issued;
31             (F)  the most recent equalized assessed valuation of
32        the redevelopment project area;
33             (G)  an  estimate  as  to  the  equalized   assessed
34        valuation  after  redevelopment and the general land uses
 
HB0665 Enrolled             -20-               LRB9103358PTpk
 1        to apply in the redevelopment project area;
 2             (H)  a commitment to fair employment  practices  and
 3        an affirmative action plan;
 4             (I)  if  it concerns an industrial park conservation
 5        area, the plan shall also include a  general  description
 6        of  any  proposed  developer,  user  and  tenant  of  any
 7        property,  a  description  of  the  type,  structure  and
 8        general  character  of  the facilities to be developed, a
 9        description  of  the  type,  class  and  number  of   new
10        employees   to  be  employed  in  the  operation  of  the
11        facilities to be developed; and
12             (J)  if  property  is   to   be   annexed   to   the
13        municipality,  the  plan  shall  include the terms of the
14        annexation agreement.
15        The provisions of items (B) and (C)  of  this  subsection
16    (n)  shall  not apply to a municipality that before March 14,
17    1994 (the effective date of Public  Act  88-537)  had  fixed,
18    either  by  its  corporate  authorities  or  by  a commission
19    designated under subsection (k) of Section 11-74.4-4, a  time
20    and  place for a public hearing as required by subsection (a)
21    of Section 11-74.4-5. No redevelopment plan shall be  adopted
22    unless  a  municipality  complies  with  all of the following
23    requirements:
24             (1)  The municipality finds that  the  redevelopment
25        project  area on the whole has not been subject to growth
26        and development through investment by private  enterprise
27        and  would  not reasonably be anticipated to be developed
28        without the adoption of the redevelopment plan.
29             (2)  The municipality finds that  the  redevelopment
30        plan  and  project  conform to the comprehensive plan for
31        the development of the municipality as a whole,  or,  for
32        municipalities  with  a  population  of  100,000 or more,
33        regardless of when the redevelopment plan and project was
34        adopted, the redevelopment plan and project  either:  (i)
 
HB0665 Enrolled             -21-               LRB9103358PTpk

 4        that have been approved by the planning commission of the
 5        municipality.
 6             (3)  The    redevelopment   plan   establishes   the
 7        estimated  dates  of  completion  of  the   redevelopment
 8        project  and  retirement of obligations issued to finance
 9        redevelopment project costs.  Those dates  shall  not  be
10        later  than  December 31 of the year in which the payment
11        to the municipal treasurer as provided in subsection  (b)
12        of  Section  11-74.4-8  of  this  Act  is to be made with
13        respect to ad valorem taxes levied  in  the  twenty-third
14        calendar  year  after  the  year  in  which the ordinance
15        approving the redevelopment project area  is  adopted  if
16        the  ordinance  was adopted on or after January 15, 1981,
17        and not later than December 31 of the year in  which  the
18        payment   to  the  municipal  treasurer  as  provided  in
19        subsection (b) of Section 11-74.4-8 of this Act is to  be
20        made  with  respect  to  ad  valorem  taxes levied in the
21        thirty-fifth calendar year after the year  in  which  the
22        ordinance  approving  the  redevelopment  project area is
23        adopted:
24                  (A)  if  the  ordinance  was   adopted   before
25             January 15, 1981, or
26                  (B)  if  the  ordinance was adopted in December
27             1983, April 1984, July 1985, or December 1989, or

30             one mile of Midway Airport, or
31                  (D)  if   the   ordinance  was  adopted  before
32             January 1, 1987 by a municipality in  Mason  County,
33             or
34                  (E)  if  the  municipality  is  subject  to the
 
HB0665 Enrolled             -22-               LRB9103358PTpk

 2             Act, or
 3                  (F)  if  the  ordinance was adopted in December
 4             1984 by the Village of Rosemont, or
 5                  (G)  if the ordinance was adopted  on  December
 6             31, 1986 by a municipality located in Clinton County
 7             for  which  at least $250,000 of tax increment bonds
 8             were  authorized  on  June  17,  1997,  or  if   the
 9             ordinance  was  adopted  on  December  31, 1986 by a
10             municipality with a population in 1990 of less  than
11             3,600  that is located in a county with a population
12             in 1990 of less than 34,000 and for which  at  least
13             $250,000  of  tax increment bonds were authorized on
14             June 17, 1997, or
15                  (H)  if the ordinance was adopted on October 5,
16             1982 by the City of Kankakee, or  if  the  ordinance
17             was  adopted on December 29, 1986 by East St. Louis,
18             or

20             12, 1991 by the Village of Sauget, or
21                  (J)  if  the  ordinance was adopted on February
22             11, 1985 by the City of Rock Island, or
23                  (K)  if  the  ordinance  was   adopted   before
24             December 18, 1986 by the City of Moline.
25             However,  for  redevelopment project areas for which
26        bonds were issued before July  29,  1991,  or  for  which
27        contracts  were  entered  into  before  June  1, 1988, in
28        connection with  a  redevelopment  project  in  the  area
29        within  the State Sales Tax Boundary, the estimated dates
30        of completion of the redevelopment project and retirement
31        of obligations to finance redevelopment project costs may
32        be  extended by municipal ordinance to December 31, 2013.
33        The extension allowed by  this  amendatory  Act  of  1993
34        shall not apply to real property tax increment allocation
 
HB0665 Enrolled             -23-               LRB9103358PTpk
 1        financing under Section 11-74.4-8.
 2             A  municipality  may by municipal ordinance amend an
 3        existing redevelopment plan to conform to this  paragraph
 4        (3)  as  amended by Public Act 91-478 this amendatory Act
 5        of the 91st General Assembly, which  municipal  ordinance
 6        may  be  adopted  without  further  hearing or notice and
 7        without complying with the procedures  provided  in  this
 8        Act pertaining to an amendment to or the initial approval
 9        of  a redevelopment plan and project and designation of a
10        redevelopment project area.
11             Those dates,  for  purposes  of  real  property  tax
12        increment   allocation   financing  pursuant  to  Section
13        11-74.4-8 only, shall be  not  more  than  35  years  for
14        redevelopment project areas that were adopted on or after
15        December 16, 1986 and for which at least $8 million worth
16        of  municipal  bonds were authorized on or after December
17        19, 1989 but before January 1, 1990;  provided  that  the
18        municipality   elects   to   extend   the   life  of  the
19        redevelopment project area to 35 years by the adoption of
20        an ordinance after at least 14 but not more than 30 days'
21        written notice to the taxing bodies, that would otherwise
22        constitute the joint review board for  the  redevelopment
23        project area, before the adoption of the ordinance.
24             Those  dates,  for  purposes  of  real  property tax
25        increment  allocation  financing  pursuant   to   Section
26        11-74.4-8  only,  shall  be  not  more  than 35 years for
27        redevelopment project areas that were established  on  or
28        after December 1, 1981 but before January 1, 1982 and for
29        which  at least $1,500,000 worth of tax increment revenue
30        bonds were authorized on or after September 30, 1990  but
31        before  July  1,  1991;  provided  that  the municipality
32        elects to extend the life of  the  redevelopment  project
33        area to 35 years by the adoption of an ordinance after at
34        least 14 but not more than 30 days' written notice to the
 
HB0665 Enrolled             -24-               LRB9103358PTpk
 1        taxing  bodies, that would otherwise constitute the joint
 2        review board for the redevelopment project  area,  before
 3        the adoption of the ordinance.
 4             (3.5)  The  municipality  finds,  in  the case of an
 5        industrial  park  conservation  area,   also   that   the
 6        municipality is a labor surplus municipality and that the
 7        implementation  of  the  redevelopment  plan  will reduce
 8        unemployment, create new jobs and by the provision of new
 9        facilities enhance the tax base of the  taxing  districts
10        that extend into the redevelopment project area.
11             (4)  If  any incremental revenues are being utilized
12        under  Section  8(a)(1)  or  8(a)(2)  of  this   Act   in
13        redevelopment  project  areas approved by ordinance after
14        January 1, 1986, the municipality  finds:  (a)  that  the
15        redevelopment   project  area  would  not  reasonably  be
16        developed without the use of such  incremental  revenues,
17        and   (b)   that   such   incremental  revenues  will  be
18        exclusively  utilized  for   the   development   of   the
19        redevelopment project area.
20             (5)  On  and  after  November  1, 1999 the effective
21        date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly,
22        if the redevelopment plan will not result in displacement
23        of residents from inhabited units, and  the  municipality
24        certifies  in  the plan that displacement will not result
25        from the  plan,  a  housing  impact  study  need  not  be
26        performed.    If,  however,  the redevelopment plan would
27        result in the displacement of residents from 10  or  more
28        inhabited  residential  units,  or  if  the redevelopment
29        project area contains 75 or  more  inhabited  residential
30        units and no certification is made, then the municipality
31        shall prepare, as part of the separate feasibility report
32        required  by  subsection  (a)  of  Section  11-74.4-5,  a
33        housing impact study.
34             Part I of the housing impact study shall include (i)
 
HB0665 Enrolled             -25-               LRB9103358PTpk
 1        data  as  to  whether  the  residential  units are single
 2        family or multi-family units, (ii) the number and type of
 3        rooms within the units, if that information is available,
 4        (iii) whether the units are inhabited or uninhabited,  as
 5        determined not less than 45 days before the date that the
 6        ordinance  or  resolution  required  by subsection (a) of
 7        Section 11-74.4-5 is passed, and  (iv)  data  as  to  the
 8        racial  and  ethnic  composition  of the residents in the
 9        inhabited residential units.  The data requirement as  to
10        the racial and ethnic composition of the residents in the
11        inhabited  residential  units shall be deemed to be fully
12        satisfied by data from the most recent federal census.
13             Part II of the housing impact study  shall  identify
14        the   inhabited   residential   units   in  the  proposed
15        redevelopment project area that  are  to  be  or  may  be
16        removed.   If  inhabited  residential  units  are  to  be
17        removed, then the housing impact study shall identify (i)
18        the  number  and location of those units that will or may
19        be removed, (ii) the municipality's plans for  relocation
20        assistance   for   those   residents   in   the  proposed
21        redevelopment project area whose  residences  are  to  be
22        removed,  (iii)  the  availability of replacement housing
23        for those residents whose residences are to  be  removed,
24        and  shall  identify  the type, location, and cost of the
25        housing, and (iv)  the  type  and  extent  of  relocation
26        assistance to be provided.
27             (6)  On  and  after  November  1, 1999 the effective
28        date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly,
29        the housing impact study required by paragraph (5)  shall
30        be   incorporated  in  the  redevelopment  plan  for  the
31        redevelopment project area.
32             (7)  On and after November  1,  1999  the  effective
33        date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly,
34        no  redevelopment  plan shall be adopted, nor an existing
 
HB0665 Enrolled             -26-               LRB9103358PTpk
 1        plan amended,  nor  shall  residential  housing  that  is
 2        occupied  by households of low-income and very low-income
 3        persons in currently existing redevelopment project areas
 4        be removed after November 1, 1999 the effective  date  of
 5        this  amendatory  Act of the 91st General Assembly unless
 6        the  redevelopment  plan  provides,   with   respect   to
 7        inhabited  housing  units  that  are  to  be  removed for
 8        households of low-income  and  very  low-income  persons,
 9        affordable  housing  and  relocation  assistance not less
10        than that which  would  be  provided  under  the  federal
11        Uniform   Relocation   Assistance   and   Real   Property
12        Acquisition  Policies  Act  of  1970  and the regulations
13        under  that  Act,  including  the  eligibility  criteria.
14        Affordable  housing  may  be  either  existing  or  newly
15        constructed housing. For purposes of this paragraph  (7),
16        "low-income  households",  "very  low-income households",
17        and "affordable housing" have the meanings set  forth  in
18        the  Illinois  Affordable  Housing  Act. The municipality
19        shall make a  good  faith  effort  to  ensure  that  this
20        affordable   housing   is   located   in   or   near  the
21        redevelopment project area within the municipality.
22             (8)  On and after November  1,  1999  the  effective
23        date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly,
24        if,  after the adoption of the redevelopment plan for the
25        redevelopment project area, any municipality  desires  to
26        amend  its  redevelopment  plan  to remove more inhabited
27        residential  units  than  specified   in   its   original
28        redevelopment  plan, that increase in the number of units
29        to be removed shall be deemed  to  be  a  change  in  the

17             the special tax allocation fund established pursuant
18             to this Act;
19                  (B)  such payments in  any  one  year  may  not
20             exceed  30% of the annual interest costs incurred by
21             the redeveloper with  regard  to  the  redevelopment
22             project during that year;
23                  (C)  if   there   are   not   sufficient  funds
24             available in the special tax allocation fund to make
25             the payment pursuant to this paragraph (11) then the
26             amounts so due shall  accrue  and  be  payable  when
27             sufficient  funds  are  available in the special tax
28             allocation fund;
29                  (D)  the total of such interest  payments  paid

 1             pursuant to this Act; and
 2                  (E)  the cost limits set forth in subparagraphs
 3             (B) and (D) of paragraph (11) shall be modified  for
 4             the  financing of rehabilitated or new housing units
 5             for  low-income  households  and   very   low-income
 6             households,  as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois
 7             Affordable Housing Act.  The percentage of 75% shall
 8             be substituted for 30% in subparagraphs (B) and  (D)
 9             of paragraph (11).
10                  (F)  Instead  of the eligible costs provided by
11             subparagraphs (B) and  (D)  of  paragraph  (11),  as
12             modified  by  this subparagraph, and notwithstanding
13             any other provisions of this Act  to  the  contrary,
14             the municipality may pay from tax increment revenues
15             up to 50% of the cost of construction of new housing
16             units  to  be  occupied by low-income households and
17             very low-income households as defined in  Section  3
18             of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act.  The cost of
19             construction  of those units may be derived from the
20             proceeds of bonds issued by the  municipality  under
21             this   Act  or  other  constitutional  or  statutory
22             authority or from other sources of municipal revenue
23             that may be reimbursed from tax  increment  revenues
24             or  the  proceeds  of  bonds  issued  to finance the
25             construction of that housing.
26                  The  eligible   costs   provided   under   this
27             subparagraph  (F)  of  paragraph  (11)  shall  be an
28             eligible cost for the construction, renovation,  and
29             rehabilitation   of  all  low  and  very  low-income
30             housing units,  as  defined  in  Section  3  of  the
31             Illinois   Affordable   Housing   Act,   within  the
32             redevelopment project area.  If  the  low  and  very
33             low-income   units   are   part   of  a  residential
34             redevelopment  project  that  includes   units   not

 1             affordable  to  low  and very low-income households,
 2             only the low and  very  low-income  units  shall  be
 3             eligible  for  benefits  under  subparagraph  (F) of
 4             paragraph (11).  The standards for  maintaining  the
 5             occupancy   by   low-income   households   and  very
 6             low-income households, as defined in  Section  3  of
 7             the  Illinois Affordable Housing Act, of those units
 8             constructed with eligible costs made available under
 9             the provisions of this subparagraph (F) of paragraph
10             (11) shall be established by guidelines  adopted  by
11             the  municipality.   The responsibility for annually
12             documenting the initial occupancy of  the  units  by
13             low-income    households    and    very   low-income
14             households, as defined in Section 3 of the  Illinois
15             Affordable  Housing  Act,  shall be that of the then
16             current owner of the property.  For ownership units,
17             the guidelines will provide, at  a  minimum,  for  a
18             reasonable  recapture of funds, or other appropriate
19             methods   designed   to   preserve   the    original
20             affordability  of  the  ownership units.  For rental
21             units, the guidelines will provide,  at  a  minimum,
22             for  the  affordability  of  rent  to  low  and very
23             low-income households.  As units  become  available,
24             they  shall  be  rented  to income-eligible tenants.
25             The municipality may modify  these  guidelines  from
26             time  to  time; the guidelines, however, shall be in
27             effect for as long as tax increment revenue is being
28             used to pay for costs associated with the  units  or
29             for  the  retirement  of bonds issued to finance the
30             units or for the life of the  redevelopment  project
31             area, whichever is later.
32             (11.5)  If the redevelopment project area is located
33        within  a  municipality  with  a  population of more than
34        100,000, the cost of day care services  for  children  of

 1        employees from low-income families working for businesses
 2        located  within the redevelopment project area and all or
 3        a portion of the cost of operation of  day  care  centers
 4        established  by  redevelopment project area businesses to
 5        serve  employees  from  low-income  families  working  in
 6        businesses located in  the  redevelopment  project  area.
 7        For the purposes of this paragraph, "low-income families"
 8        means families whose annual income does not exceed 80% of
 9        the   municipal,   county,  or  regional  median  income,
10        adjusted for  family  size,  as  the  annual  income  and
11        municipal,   county,   or   regional  median  income  are
12        determined  from  time  to  time  by  the  United  States
13        Department of Housing and Urban Development.
14             (12)  Unless explicitly stated herein  the  cost  of
15        construction  of  new privately-owned buildings shall not
16        be an eligible redevelopment project cost.
17             (13)  After November 1, 1999 (the effective date  of
18        Public  Act  91-478)  this  amendatory  Act  of  the 91st
19        General Assembly, none of the redevelopment project costs
20        enumerated  in  this   subsection   shall   be   eligible
21        redevelopment  project costs if those costs would provide
22        direct financial support to a  retail  entity  initiating
23        operations   in  the  redevelopment  project  area  while
24        terminating  operations  at  another  Illinois   location
25        within  10  miles  of  the redevelopment project area but
26        outside the boundaries of the redevelopment project  area
27        municipality.     For   purposes   of   this   paragraph,
28        termination means a closing of a retail operation that is
29        directly related to the opening of the same operation  or
30        like  retail entity owned or operated by more than 50% of
31        the original ownership in a redevelopment  project  area,
32        but  it  does  not  mean closing an operation for reasons
33        beyond the control of the retail entity, as documented by
34        the retail entity, subject to a reasonable finding by the
 
HB0665 Enrolled             -39-               LRB9103358PTpk
 1        municipality  that   the   current   location   contained
 2        inadequate  space,  had  become economically obsolete, or
 3        was no longer a  viable  location  for  the  retailer  or
 4        serviceman.
 5        If  a  special service area has been established pursuant
 6    to the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special  Service  Area
 7    Tax Law, then any tax increment revenues derived from the tax
 8    imposed  pursuant  to  the  Special  Service  Area Tax Act or
 9    Special  Service  Area  Tax  Law  may  be  used  within   the
10    redevelopment project area for the purposes permitted by that
11    Act or Law as well as the purposes permitted by this Act.
12        (r)  "State  Sales  Tax Boundary" means the redevelopment
13    project  area  or  the  amended  redevelopment  project  area
14    boundaries which are determined pursuant to subsection (9) of
15    Section 11-74.4-8a of this Act.  The  Department  of  Revenue
16    shall   certify   pursuant   to  subsection  (9)  of  Section
17    11-74.4-8a  the  appropriate  boundaries  eligible  for   the
18    determination of State Sales Tax Increment.
19        (s)  "State Sales Tax Increment" means an amount equal to
20    the  increase  in  the  aggregate  amount  of  taxes  paid by
21    retailers and servicemen, other than retailers and servicemen
22    subject to the  Public  Utilities  Act,  on  transactions  at
23    places  of business located within a State Sales Tax Boundary
24    pursuant to the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,  the  Use  Tax
25    Act,  the Service Use Tax Act, and the Service Occupation Tax
26    Act, except such portion of such increase that is  paid  into
27    the  State  and  Local  Sales  Tax  Reform  Fund,  the  Local
28    Government   Distributive   Fund,  the   Local Government Tax
29    Fund and the County and Mass Transit District  Fund,  for  as
30    long  as  State  participation  exists,  over  and  above the
31    Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts
32    or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts for  such  taxes  as
33    certified  by  the Department of Revenue and paid under those
34    Acts by retailers and servicemen on transactions at places of
 
HB0665 Enrolled             -40-               LRB9103358PTpk
 1    business located within the State Sales Tax  Boundary  during
 2    the  base  year  which shall be the calendar year immediately
 3    prior to the year  in  which  the  municipality  adopted  tax
 4    increment  allocation  financing,  less  3.0% of such amounts
 5    generated under the Retailers' Occupation Tax  Act,  Use  Tax
 6    Act  and  Service  Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax
 7    Act, which sum shall be appropriated  to  the  Department  of
 8    Revenue  to  cover  its  costs of administering and enforcing
 9    this Section. For purposes of computing the aggregate  amount
10    of  such  taxes  for  base years occurring prior to 1985, the
11    Department of Revenue shall compute  the  Initial  Sales  Tax
12    Amount for such taxes and deduct therefrom an amount equal to
13    4%  of  the  aggregate amount of taxes per year for each year
14    the base year is prior to 1985, but not  to  exceed  a  total
15    deduction of 12%.  The amount so determined shall be known as
16    the  "Adjusted  Initial  Sales  Tax  Amount". For purposes of
17    determining the State Sales Tax Increment the  Department  of
18    Revenue  shall  for each period subtract from the tax amounts
19    received  from  retailers  and  servicemen  on   transactions
20    located  in  the  State  Sales  Tax  Boundary,  the certified
21    Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts
22    or Revised Initial  Sales  Tax  Amounts  for  the  Retailers'
23    Occupation  Tax Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act
24    and the Service Occupation Tax Act.   For  the  State  Fiscal
25    Year  1989  this  calculation  shall be made by utilizing the
26    calendar year 1987 to determine the tax amounts received. For
27    the State Fiscal Year 1990, this calculation shall be made by
28    utilizing the period from January 1,  1988,  until  September
29    30,   1988,  to  determine  the  tax  amounts  received  from
30    retailers and servicemen, which shall have deducted therefrom
31    nine-twelfths of the certified  Initial  Sales  Tax  Amounts,
32    Adjusted  Initial  Sales  Tax  Amounts or the Revised Initial
33    Sales Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State  Fiscal  Year
34    1991,  this calculation shall be made by utilizing the period
 
HB0665 Enrolled             -41-               LRB9103358PTpk
 1    from October 1, 1988, until June 30, 1989, to  determine  the
 2    tax  amounts  received  from  retailers and servicemen, which
 3    shall have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the  certified
 4    Initial  State  Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax
 5    Amounts  or  the  Revised  Initial  Sales  Tax   Amounts   as
 6    appropriate.  For  every  State  Fiscal  Year thereafter, the
 7    applicable period shall be the 12 months beginning July 1 and
 8    ending on June 30, to  determine  the  tax  amounts  received
 9    which  shall  have  deducted  therefrom the certified Initial
10    Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or  the
11    Revised  Initial Sales Tax Amounts.  Municipalities intending
12    to receive a distribution of State Sales Tax  Increment  must
13    report  a  list  of retailers to the Department of Revenue by
14    October 31, 1988 and by July 31, of each year thereafter.
15        (t)  "Taxing districts" means counties, townships, cities
16    and incorporated towns  and  villages,  school,  road,  park,
17    sanitary, mosquito abatement, forest preserve, public health,
18    fire  protection,  river conservancy, tuberculosis sanitarium
19    and any other municipal corporations or  districts  with  the
20    power to levy taxes.
21        (u)  "Taxing  districts' capital costs" means those costs
22    of taxing districts for capital improvements that  are  found
23    by  the  municipal  corporate authorities to be necessary and
24    directly result from the redevelopment project.

26    this  Act,  "vacant land" means any  parcel or combination of
27    parcels of real property without industrial, commercial,  and
28    residential  buildings which has not been used for commercial
29    agricultural purposes within 5 years prior to the designation
30    of the redevelopment  project  area,  unless  the  parcel  is
31    included  in  an  industrial  park  conservation  area or the
32    parcel has been subdivided; provided that if the  parcel  was
33    part  of  a larger tract that has been divided into 3 or more
34    smaller tracts that were accepted for  recording  during  the
 
HB0665 Enrolled             -42-               LRB9103358PTpk
 1    period  from 1950 to 1990, then the parcel shall be deemed to
 2    have been subdivided, and all proceedings and actions of  the
 3    municipality  taken  in  that  connection with respect to any
 4    previously approved or designated redevelopment project  area
 5    or  amended  redevelopment  project area are hereby validated
 6    and hereby declared to be legally sufficient for all purposes
 7    of this Act. For purposes of this Section and only  for  land
 8    subject to the subdivision requirements of the Plat Act, land
 9    is   subdivided  when  the  original  plat  of  the  proposed
10    Redevelopment Project Area or relevant  portion  thereof  has
11    been properly certified, acknowledged, approved, and recorded
12    or  filed  in  accordance with the Plat Act and a preliminary
13    plat, if any, for  any  subsequent  phases  of  the  proposed
14    Redevelopment  Project  Area  or relevant portion thereof has
15    been properly approved  and  filed  in  accordance  with  the
16    applicable ordinance of the municipality.
17        (w)  "Annual  Total  Increment"  means  the  sum  of each
18    municipality's  annual  Net  Sales  Tax  Increment  and  each
19    municipality's annual Net Utility Tax Increment.   The  ratio
20    of  the  Annual  Total  Increment of each municipality to the
21    Annual  Total  Increment  for  all  municipalities,  as  most
22    recently calculated by the Department,  shall  determine  the
23    proportional  shares of the Illinois Tax Increment Fund to be
24    distributed to each municipality.

29        Sec. 11-74.4-7.  Obligations secured by the  special  tax
30    allocation  fund  set  forth  in  Section  11-74.4-8  for the
31    redevelopment project area  may  be  issued  to  provide  for
32    redevelopment  project  costs.   Such  obligations,  when  so
33    issued,  shall  be  retired  in  the  manner  provided in the
 
HB0665 Enrolled             -43-               LRB9103358PTpk
 1    ordinance authorizing the issuance of such obligations by the
 2    receipts of taxes levied as specified  in  Section  11-74.4-9
 3    against  the  taxable  property  included  in  the  area,  by
 4    revenues as specified by Section 11-74.4-8a and other revenue
 5    designated  by  the  municipality.  A municipality may in the
 6    ordinance pledge all or any part of the funds in  and  to  be
 7    deposited in the special tax allocation fund created pursuant
 8    to  Section  11-74.4-8  to  the  payment of the redevelopment

10    special tax allocation fund shall provide for distribution to
11    the  taxing  districts  and  to  the  Illinois  Department of
12    Revenue  of  moneys  not  required,  pledged,  earmarked,  or
13    otherwise  designated  for  payment  and  securing   of   the
14    obligations  and  anticipated redevelopment project costs and
15    such excess funds shall be calculated annually and deemed  to
16    be "surplus" funds.  In the event a municipality only applies
17    or  pledges  a  portion  of  the  funds  in  the  special tax
18    allocation fund for the payment or  securing  of  anticipated
19    redevelopment project costs or of obligations, any such funds
20    remaining  in the special tax allocation fund after complying

22    also  be  calculated annually and deemed "surplus" funds. All
23    surplus funds in the special tax  allocation  fund  shall  be
24    distributed  annually  within 180 days after the close of the
25    municipality's fiscal year by being  paid  by  the  municipal
26    treasurer  to  the  County  Collector,  to  the Department of

28    tax  incremental  revenue received as a result of an increase
29    in  the  equalized  assessed  value  of   property   in   the

31    from the State and tax incremental revenue received from  the
32    municipality,  but  not  to exceed as to each such source the
33    total incremental revenue  received  from  that  source.  The
34    County  Collector  shall  thereafter make distribution to the

 5        Without limiting  the  foregoing  in  this  Section,  the
 6    municipality  may  in addition  to obligations secured by the
 7    special tax allocation fund pledge for a period  not  greater
 8    than  the  term  of  the  obligations towards payment of such
 9    obligations any part or any combination of the following: (a)
10    net revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project; (b)
11    taxes levied and collected on any  or  all  property  in  the
12    municipality;   (c)   the   full  faith  and  credit  of  the
13    municipality;  (d)  a  mortgage  on  part  or  all   of   the
14    redevelopment  project; or (e) any other taxes or anticipated
15    receipts that the municipality may lawfully pledge.
16        Such obligations may be issued  in  one  or  more  series
17    bearing  interest  at  such  rate  or  rates as the corporate
18    authorities of the municipality shall determine by ordinance.
19    Such obligations shall bear such date  or  dates,  mature  at
20    such  time  or  times  not  exceeding  20  years  from  their
21    respective   dates,  be  in  such  denomination,  carry  such
22    registration privileges,  be  executed  in  such  manner,  be
23    payable  in  such  medium of payment at such place or places,
24    contain such covenants, terms and conditions, and be  subject
25    to  redemption  as such ordinance shall provide.  Obligations
26    issued pursuant to this Act may be sold at public or  private
27    sale  at  such  price as shall be determined by the corporate
28    authorities of the municipalities.  No referendum approval of
29    the electors shall be required as a condition to the issuance
30    of obligations pursuant to this Division except  as  provided
31    in this Section.
32        In  the  event  the  municipality  authorizes issuance of
33    obligations  pursuant  to  the  authority  of  this  Division
34    secured by the full faith and  credit  of  the  municipality,

 2    issued under  home  rule  powers  provided  by  Article  VII,
 3    Section  6  of  the  Illinois Constitution,  or pledges taxes
 4    pursuant to (b) or  (c)  of  the  second  paragraph  of  this
 5    section,  the  ordinance  authorizing  the  issuance  of such
 6    obligations or pledging such taxes shall be published  within
 7    10  days  after such ordinance has been passed in one or more
 8    newspapers,   with   general    circulation    within    such
 9    municipality.  The  publication  of  the  ordinance  shall be
10    accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific number of  voters
11    required  to  sign  a petition requesting the question of the
12    issuance  of  such  obligations  or  pledging  taxes  to   be
13    submitted  to  the  electors;  (2)  the  time  in  which such
14    petition must be filed; and (3) the date of  the  prospective
15    referendum.   The  municipal  clerk  shall provide a petition
16    form to any individual requesting one.
17        If no petition is filed  with  the  municipal  clerk,  as
18    hereinafter  provided  in  this Section, within 30 days after
19    the publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall  be  in
20    effect.   But,  if  within  that  30 day period a petition is
21    filed with the municipal clerk, signed  by  electors  in  the
22    municipality   numbering   10%  or  more  of  the  number  of
23    registered  voters  in  the  municipality,  asking  that  the
24    question of issuing obligations using full faith  and  credit
25    of  the  municipality  as security for the cost of paying for
26    redevelopment project costs, or of  pledging  taxes  for  the
27    payment  of  such  obligations,  or both, be submitted to the
28    electors of the municipality, the  corporate  authorities  of
29    the  municipality shall call a special election in the manner
30    provided by law to vote upon that question, or, if a general,
31    State or municipal election is to be held within a period  of
32    not  less  than  30  or more than  90 days from the date such
33    petition is filed, shall submit  the  question  at  the  next
34    general, State or municipal election.  If it appears upon the

 1    canvass  of  the election by the corporate authorities that a
 2    majority of electors voting upon the question voted in  favor
 3    thereof,  the ordinance shall be in effect, but if a majority
 4    of the electors voting upon the question  are  not  in  favor
 5    thereof, the ordinance shall not take effect.
 6        The  ordinance  authorizing  the  obligations may provide
 7    that the obligations shall contain a recital  that  they  are
 8    issued  pursuant  to  this  Division,  which recital shall be
 9    conclusive evidence of their validity and of  the  regularity
10    of their issuance.
11        In  the  event  the  municipality  authorizes issuance of
12    obligations pursuant to this  Section  secured  by  the  full
13    faith   and   credit   of  the  municipality,  the  ordinance
14    authorizing the obligations may  provide  for  the  levy  and
15    collection  of  a direct annual tax upon all taxable property
16    within the  municipality  sufficient  to  pay  the  principal
17    thereof and interest thereon as it matures, which levy may be
18    in  addition  to  and  exclusive  of the maximum of all other
19    taxes authorized to be  levied  by  the  municipality,  which
20    levy, however, shall be abated to the extent that monies from
21    other  sources  are  available for payment of the obligations
22    and the municipality certifies  the  amount  of  said  monies
23    available to the county clerk.
24        A  certified  copy  of such ordinance shall be filed with
25    the county clerk of each county in which any portion  of  the
26    municipality  is situated, and shall constitute the authority
27    for the extension and collection of the taxes to be deposited
28    in the special tax allocation fund.
29        A municipality may also issue its obligations  to  refund
30    in  whole  or in part, obligations theretofore issued by such
31    municipality under the authority of this Act, whether  at  or
32    prior  to  maturity, provided however, that the last maturity
33    of the refunding obligations shall not be expressed to mature
34    later than December 31 of the year in which  the  payment  to
