Resolution No. 2026-052 – A Resolution Setting Date of December 1, 2026, for a Public Hearing on Designation of the 2026 Tiffin Commercial Urban Renewal Area and on Urban Renewal Plan — I-2

Tiffin/436989-56/UR Plan 4. Acquisition, preparation and disposition of property for development and/or redevelopment. 5. Making available, as appropriate, financing for development projects, including conventional municipal borrowing and tax increment financing resulting from increased property values in the Urban Renewal Area. 6. Pursuant to state law, provision of direct financial assistance, including grants, loans and tax increment rebate agreements, to private persons engaged in economic development, in such form and subject to such conditions as may be determined by the City Council. V. SPECIFIC URBAN RENEWAL PROJECTS To the extent the City determines to undertake economic development projects and initiatives in the Urban Renewal Area, such projects and initiatives will be identified in future amendments to this Plan. VI. LAND USE PLAN AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The City has adopted a Comprehensive Land Use Plan which guides the establishment of commercial, residential and industrial land uses throughout the incorporated area. Land use in the Urban Renewal Area will be carried out in a manner that will maintain consistency with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. VII. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING In order to assist in the development or retention of private enterprises, the City may be requested to acquire land, construct public improvements or provide economic development loans, grants or other tax incentives for the benefit of private enterprises in order to enhance the value of property in the Urban Renewal Area. As part of the Urban Renewal Area, the City will adopt an ordinance to create a tax increment district (the “TIF District”), within which the property taxes eventually paid by new private development may be used to pay costs of urban renewal projects for these types of activities, including reimbursing the City or paying debt service on obligations issued by the City. The use of these tax revenues is known as tax increment financing (“TIF”). Depending upon the date upon which the TIF District is legally established and the date on which debt is initially certified within the TIF District, an original taxable valuation is established for the property within the TIF District, which is known as the “base valuation.” The “base valuation” is the assessed value of the taxable property in the TIF District as of December 1 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the City first certifies the amount of any debt payable from TIF revenues to be generated within that TIF District. When the value of the property inside the TIF District increases by virtue of new construction or any other reason, the difference between the base valuation and the new property value is the “tax increment” or “incremental value.” -3- DORSEY & WHITNEY LLP, ATTORNEYS, DES MOINES, IOWA
