INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND In the context of considering the amendment ("Amendment #1") of the West Evanston Redevelopment Project Area ("TIF No. 6"), the City of Evanston (the "City") has authorized the study of the amended areas to determine whether it qualifies for consideration as an amendment to the existing Tax Increment Financing (the "TIF") District. Kane, McKenna and Associates, Inc. ("KMA"), has agreed to undertake the study of the amended area ("Proposed Amended Area!'). The properties (the "Proposed Amended Area•') are located adjacent to the West Evanston TIF No. 6 and would be included as part of the Amendment #1 to TIF No. 6. The Proposed Amended Area includes forty-one (41) parcels and twenty-three (23) buildings with various uses including: commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and unimproved lots. The Proposed Amended Area is located east, north, and south of TIF 6. The area on the east is generally bounded by: Dodge Avenue on the west and Darrow Avenue on the east including one block on either side of Dempster Street. The area on the north is generally bounded by Simpson Street on the north, the former Mayfair railroad right of way on the west, including properties west of the railroad right of way, Jackson Avenue on the east, and Emerson Street on the south. The area on the south is generally bounded by Greenleaf Street on the north, Pitner Avenue on the west, parcels west of the Brown Avenue on the west, and properties north of Lee Street on the south. Adjacent right of ways are included. 40. The City has undertaken ongoing review of the properties located within the West Evanston TIF-No. 6, as well as the Proposed Amendment for several years. The Proposed Amended Area will serve to continue redevelopment activities and to include several key properties as part of the West Evanston TIF No. 6. Due in part to their age, the structures and site improvements within the Proposed Amended Area were found to have varying degrees of deterioration due to the age of the structures. Obsolescence has also contributed to underutilization in some cases. The Proposed Amended Area also suffers from a lack of community planning. That is, the area did not have the benefit of developing under the modern construction and land use guidelines under either a comprehensive plan or an economic development plan. The limited parking within the area, the minimal buffering between buildings and the limited loading/unloading provisions are indications of this factor. Proximity to the former railroad right of way also contributes to area wide obsolescence and lack of community planning. The majority of the buildings are over thirty-five (35) years in age in the Proposed Amended Area. In conjunction with the qualification factors discussed above, and within other sections of this report, these qualify the area as a "conservation' area, as that term is hereinafter defined pursuant to Illinois State statute as amended. OBJECTIVES • The City's redevelopment objectives propose to enhance commercial, retail and mixed use residential opportunities. To achieve this objective the City proposes the following guidelines: 9 To redevelop the area and infrastructure network for improved accessibility use to the wider market area. Tax Incremental Financing Qualification/Designation Report — FirsrAnrendmenr to the (Pest Evanston TIFNo. 6 Evanston, iilinois m • • To attract market driven residential and retaillcommercial redevelopment. • To assemble properties in order to assist area redevelopment objectives. • To assist site preparation in order to provide for the reuse of properties. • To assist and provide services to businesses and enterprises that seek locations within the City. • Reconnect and extend the surrounding neighborhood street grid • Develop a continuous multi -use trail through the neighborhood. • Increase the walkability of the neighborhood. • Maintain the green character of the community. • Provide a wide range of housing choices • Provide neighborhood -scaled commercial space. • To remove the abandoned Mayfair Railroad embankment. • To preserve the traditional social, cultural and historical character of the neighborhood • Rehabilitation of existing sites and buildings Given City goals under its comprehensive planning process and the conditions briefly summarized above, the City has made a determination that it is highly desirable to promote the redevelopment of the Proposed Amended Area. The City intends to create and implement such a plan in order to increase tax revenues associated with the Proposed Amended Area and to • increase the community's tax base. Given the conditions into which the Proposed Amended Area has required coordination for a variety of uses, the City is favorably disposed toward supporting redevelopment efforts. However, the City is determined that redevelopment takes place through the benefit and guidance of comprehensive economic planning by the City. Through this coordinated effort, the area is expected to improve. Development barriers, inherent with current conditions within the RPA, which impede economic growth under existing market standards, are expected to be eliminated. The City has determined that redevelopment currently planned for the Proposed Amended Area may only be feasible with public finance assistance. The creation and utilization of a TIF redevelopment plan is intended by the City to help provide the assistance required to eliminate conditions detrimental to successful redevelopment of the RPA. The use of TIF relies upon induced private redevelopment in the Proposed Amended Area creating higher real estate value that would otherwise decline or stagnate without such investment, leading to increased property taxes compared to the previous land -use (or lack of use). In thus way the existing tax base for all tax districts is protected and a portion of future increased taxes are pledged to attract the needed private investment. • Tay Incremental Fivancin; QnalificationlDesisnotion Report— First Amendment to the ►Pest Evanston TIFNo. 6 Evanston, Illinois 2 • II. OUALIFICATION CRITERIA USED With the assistance of City staff, Kane, McKenna and Associates, Inc. examined the Proposed Amended Area in July to September of 2007, and reviewed information collected for the area to detennine the presence or absence of appropriate qualifying factors listed in the Illinois "Real Property Tax Increment Allocation Act" (hereinafter referred to as "the Act") Ch. 65 ILCS Section 5111-74.4-1 et. sea. of the Illinois Compiled Statutes, as amended. The relevant sections of the Act are found below. The Act sets out specific procedures, which must be adhered to in designating a redevelopment project area. By definition, a `Redevelopment Project Area' is: "an area designated by the municipality, which is not less in the aggregate than 1 1/2acres and in respect to which the municipality has made a finding that there exist conditions which cause the area to be classified as a blighted area or a conservation area, or a combination of both blighted area and conservation area." CONSERVATION AREA The Act defines a "conservation area•' as follows: • "Conservation area"= means -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 may be considered as a "conservation area". (1) If improved, industrial, commercial and residential buildings or improvements are detrimental to the public safety, health or welfare because of a combination of five (5) or more of the following factors, each of which is (i) present, with that presence documented, to a meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably find that the factor is clearly present within the intent of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the improved part of the redevelopment project area: (A) Dilapidation: An advanced state of disrepair or neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural components of building 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. (B) Obsolescence: The condition or process of falling into disuse. Structures 10 become ill -suited for the original use. Tax Incremental Financing Report — First Amendment to the IVest Evanston TIFA'O. 6 Evanston, Illinois • (C) Deterioration: With respect to buildings, defects including, but not limited to major defects in the secondary building components such as doors, windows, porches, gutters and downspouts and fascia. With respect to surface improvements, that the condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking and surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including, but limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes, depressions, loose paving material and weeds protruding through paved surfaces. (D) Presence of Structures Below Minimum Code Standards: 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. (E) Illegal Use of Individual Structures: 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. (F) Excessive Vacancies: 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. • (G) Lack of Ventilation_ Light. or Sanitary Facilities: 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 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. (H) Inadequate Utilities: 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. (I) Excessive Land Coverage and Overcrowding of Structures and Community Facilities: 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 one exhibiting excessive land coverage are: (i) 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 (ii) 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 Tde Increnterrta! Financing Q:rrrl ratior✓1?esio:rrttiorr F.epo t — F.%rsr �rrrenrhrtcrrt to the 11 est Erareston TIFYo. b Evanston, Illinois 4 • • 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 service. (J) Deleterious Land -Use or Lavout: 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. (K) Environmental Clean-Uu: The Proposed redevelopment project 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. (L) Lack of Community Plannins: 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. (M) Las in Equalized Assessed Value: The total equalized assessed value of the proposed redevelopment project area has declined for three (3) of the last five (5) calendar years prior to the year in which the redevelopment project area is designated, or is increasing at an annual rate that is less than the balance of the municipality for three (3) of the last five (5) calendar years, for wlvch information is available or 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 (3) of the last five (5) calendar years prior to the year in which the redevelopment project area is designated. .

THE STUDY AREA The Proposed Amended Area is located adjacent to the City's West Evanston TIF No. 6 and includes forty-one (41) parcels located at the north, east, and south of the existing TIF district. The original West Evanston TIF No. 6 qualified as a "conservation area" as well. In evaluating the properties within the Proposed Amended Area, KMA completed its analysis based on the "conservation area" criteria cited in 65 ILCS 5/11-74 3(a) (1) (the "Conservation Area Definition"). The Conservation Area Definition states that at least fifty percent (50%) of the area's buildings must be thirty-five (35) years of age or older and there must be three (3) or more qualification factors present. Seventy-four percent (74%) of the Amended Area's buildings are over thirty-five (35) years in age, and would satisfy threshold criteria relating to designation on a "conservation area." • • • ;rr.• ►.,�.o ;.nt,rnt Ffrtattrltlg Qunl;licretintt/Designrrtion Reno17 — First Arnendittent to the West Evanston TIF No. b Evanston, Illinois • IV. METHODOLOGY OF EVALUATION In evaluating the Proposed Amended Area potential qualification as a TIF District, the following methodology was utilized: 1) Site surveys of the Proposed Amended Area were undertaken by representatives from KMA. Site surveys were completed from each tract of land (based upon Sidwell blocks), within the area. 2) Exterior evaluation of structures,-: noting such conditions as deterioration and obsolescence was completed. Additionally, 2000 through 2006 tax information from the Cook County Clerk's Office, Sidwell parcel tax maps, site data, local history (discussions with City staff), and an evaluation of area -wide factors that have affected the area's development (e.g., lack of community planning). KMA reviewed the area in its entirety. City redevelopment goals and objectives for the area were also reviewed with City staff. A photograph analysis of the area was conducted and was used to aid this evaluation. 3) Existing structures and site conditions were initially surveyed only in the context of checking, to, the best and most reasonable extent available, criteria factors of specific _ structures and site conditions on the parcels. • 4) The Proposed Amended Area was examined to assess the applicability of the different factors, required for qualification for TIF designation under the Act. Evaluation was made by reviewing the information and determining how each measured when evaluated against the relevant factors. The Proposed Amended Area was examined to determine the applicability of the thirteen (13) different conservation area factors for qualification for TIF designation under the TIF Act.

OUALIFICATION OF PROPOSED RPA/FINDINGS OF ELIGIBILITY As a result of KMA's evaluation of each parcel in the Proposed Amended Area, and analysis of each of the eligibility factors summarized in Section R, the following factors are presented to support qualification of the Proposed Amended Area as a `-conservation area". THRESHOLD FACTOR 1. Aae Based upon site surveys and County Assessor data, seventy-four percent (74%), or seventeen (17) out of twenty-three (23) structures, were found to be thirty-five (35) years of age or greater in the Proposed Amended Area. OTHER CONSERVATION AREA FACTORS Note: Conservation factors apply only to Proposed Amended Area 2. Lack of Community Plannine • According to the Act, an area suffers from a lack of community planning if the area was developed prior to or within the benefit of a community plan. The absence of coordinated parking for sites, the lack of buffering between uses, and the coordinated loading/unloading provisions as well as access and circulation issues residential housing to commercial and retail sites all reinforce the fact that the area was developed without benefit of modern, comprehensive community planning. Also lacking until recent years has been effective and sustained economic development plans and strategies intended to address the coordinated redevelopment of the Proposed Amended Area. The abandonment of the Mayfair railroad right of way in the 1980s, and closure of adjacent industrial uses have contributed to changes in area uses. This is not to necessarily say that improvements did not take place over the years, but that they were implemented without the inclusion within the West Evanston TIF No. 6 District. Amendment to the existing TIF will serve to improve overall coordination redevelopment for these parcels. A substantial portion of the Proposed Amended Area was development prior to the 1956 adoption of the Comprehensive Plan and/or the first Amendment in 2000. Thus, in general the Proposed Amended Area was permitted to develop without the benefit of suitable and consistent development standards. Seventy- four percent (74%) of the buildings are over thirty-five (35) years of age. Additional coordination will be required between existing uses and any proposed redevelopments.

This can also be defined as a structure(s) that has become ill -suited for its original use. Throughout the Proposed Amended Area, obsolescence is evidenced by the poor layout and orientation of certain commercial and industrial buildings and their orientation on the now vacant railroad right-of-way. Approximately, 40,000 square feet of industrial property have been vacant for two (2) years. These two (2) buildings are located at the former Bishop Freeman site and the larger structure evidences age in excess of 100 years. Obsolescence is also evidenced by the buildings inadequate number of parking spaces and loading provisions for their size and use. Many of the commercial and industrial structures have evolved into retro-fitted uses that require more intensive building size and infrastructure other than their original purposes, or have been converted into different uses then originally intended. Additionally, building • setbacks and lot depth are lacking in several sections of the Proposed Amended Area when compared to standards required for modern real estate development. As stated above, approximately seventy-four percent (74%) of the structures are thirty-five (35) years old or greater, thirty-five percent . (35%) or eight (8) structures are ninety (90) to one hundred and twenty (120) years old or greater. 4. Deterioration of Site Improvements and Structures Deterioration can be evidenced in major or secondary building defects. For example, such defects include but are not limited to, defects in building components such as windows, porches, gutters, doors, brick, mortar, and stucco. Many of the structures and site improvements within the Proposed Amended Area exhibited various degrees of deterioration which require repairs, upgrades and replacement. Many of the parcels displayed deteriorated conditions. With respect to surface improvements within the Proposed Amended Area, deterioration was found related to roadways, driveways and parking lots. Off-street parking areas evidence deterioration, including, but not limited to, surface cracking, potholes, depressions, and loose paving materials. The conditions were characterized by occurrences that included the following: • • Rotten wood, sliding and eaves • Deterioration of brick and mortar • . Buckled asphalt and concrete • Rotten wood framing materials T e-v Ittcrettreutpi Finrntcin3 OunliTcatinnlDesi.nation Report — First Antendmem to the War Evattstutt TIFNo. G Evanston, Illinois • • Cracked and damaged concrete steps and exterior fascia/trim • Damaged curbs paving and potholes in lots 5. Deleterious Land Use Deleterious land use (or layout) is defined as the existence of incompatible land use relationships, buildings occupied by inappropriate mixed -uses, or uses unsuitable for the surrounding area. Much of the commercial and industrial uses within the Proposed Amended Area have been developed in piecemeal fashion. Due to the vacation in the 1980s and sale of the Mayfair Railroad property, many commercial and industrial uses have been created on parcels of land that are inadequate in size and shape for their use. Many of the Proposed Amended Area industrial and commercial uses lack parking and modern loading provisions. Considerations of adequate building setbacks, landscape buffering between uses (including adjacent residential), the need for adequate loading and unloading, -and sufficient parking were not considered when these sections of the Proposed Amended Area were developed. 6. Inadeouate Utilities • Inadequate Utilities are underground and overhead utilities such as stone 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. Proposed residential development uses in the north portion of the Proposed Amended Area will require improvements to existing water service through the gridding of the existing water line with the remainder of the City's water system. A relief sewer will need to be installed as well to provide for storm water drainage. Environmental issues The .Proposed redevelopment project 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 ID for the clean-up of hazardous waste, hazardous substances or underground storage tanks required by State or federal law, provided that the remediation costs Torl;;r, ,,,e;;,+ ► F;•,o,r�i,te r_h,_n!tfi7rnrintLIDesin»nlinir Report— First A inendment to he ll'est Eimnsron TIFA'o. G Evanston, Illinois 10 • constitute a material impediment to the development or redevelopment of the redevelopment project area. Phase I and Phase U environmental reports associated with the former Bishop Freeman property indicate that remediation will be required in order to prepare the property for redevelopment. Costs could potentially include soils removed, or site treatments; engineered barriers, and related site controls (placement of structure, parking lots, streets, etc.) Potential remediation costs would range up to $4,750,000 — depending upon the final remediation plan. - Prior to 1950, the main building of the former Bishop Freeman property was used to manufacture dairy equipment. After 1950, the site housed a manufacturer of dry cleaning equipment. In •1987, the eastern building was utilized as an automobile repair shop. 8. Excessive Vacancies 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. Approximately, 40,000 square feet of industrial property have been vacant for two (2) years. These two (2) buildings are located at the fornier Bishop Freeman site and occupy a critical location within the RPA. due to the size of the property and limited potential for reuse of a vacant industrial property, portions of which are over one hundred (100) years old.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF OUALIFICATION The following is a summary of relevant qualification findings as it relates to potential designation of the Proposed Amended Area by the City as a TIF District: The Proposed Amended Areas and the original West Evanston TIF No. 6 are contiguous and are greater than I1/2 acres in size. 2. The Proposed Amended Areas qualify as a "conservation area'. A more detailed analysis of the qualification findings is outlined in this report. 3. All property in the Proposed Amended Areas would substantially benefit by the proposed redevelopment project improvements. 4. The sound growth of taxing districts applicable to the Proposed Amended Areas, including the City, has been impaired by the factors found present in the area. 5. The Proposed Amended Areas would not be subject to redevelopment without the investment of public funds, including property tax increments. • These findings, in the judgment of KMA, provide the City with sufficient justification to consider designation of the Proposed Amended Area as an amendment to the original West Evanston TIF No. 6. The Proposed Amended Areas have not benefited from coordinated planning efforts by either the public or private sectors. There is a need to focus redevelopment efforts relating to the coordination of redevelopment efforts for market uses. These efforts will be important to the Proposed Amended Areas continued improvement and preservation of tax base. • Mmaisn,2003\CompanyThent Folders\Evanston\TlF 6 AmendmentlEligibility Report I;,"c ;;a;,; ;; n...,►. m�.g7e r.;;r;ry; Rod n.t _ Firct ar»nnrJmrr;f fn flrc Rest Eranston TIF No. 6 Evanston, Illinois 12 • r PROPOSED AMENDMENT #1 TIF BOUNDARY MAP • .. - . .. • . awl :_: � s •1�r11iH11s1. k Ilk1 f r . .1� uuy� ➢-� 11'It :Cfl i.all slli:a 11IxljuTu Lx.lx y'r ".�i J:'awa .111t15 .,t;_n 11►�QJ ;��I �j fie'- m '^1 :C:1 •:Z . ��i = - e _� -� IM •ill.n I l _il i.irii '57 ; � ` �u i 1i r �T� _ u__� o Building Foalprint ' � �i}gly} � r') Tax Parcel MProposed Expansion Area y � O { M T1F Di511ic1 Walar C> t�Sfstj iu uu-Z* i GREENWOOD ST M W roww"wo-P ' kflLtld 3D � N 0 CMMMs ST � g r.,L'J"J,LrJ'.�eyaf%rr{—�iREENI.�iF ST�T{�� r�{p�������y�;�7��r�����1�� � 3f �II3LCli3:U W ,., f 6 ? ? •-=' - 0 sop 1.000 Feel i� Mal lAPMOt m Evanston- F<« i�cs—t a-C? — lm__minlup.vnaR'1 :L'L••wriiii�,wNTnLC.Or e..yYk Scc Mww O:ytlC+•.1K:M1 YTfTi1q,•�YTp:h9xI IQ mQC NImrAfnn a a • • s • PRELIMINARY 20•Sep•07 West Evanston TIF 0 Amendment • Novi Aron Tax Rate 1110.13-203-021 2 10-12-203-024 3 10.13-203-020 411043-203-029 9I1D•t] IOA-021 6 i0.13 264-022 7110.13-204-023 8119-13-204.027 Silo-13204-020 10 10-13-205-0t0 11 10.13-209420 12 1013 209-021 13 10-13.210-026 14110-13 210.OZ7 15110.13 210-034 1611013 210-035 I1013-210-020 110432I0.029 I10•Y3-210-0]0 110.13-270-032 I10.13-270.03] 17110134ZS.034 18110-13425-035 PIN Tax Code CLASS 1Mat 17001 ( 170D1 I 17001 1 17001 I 17001 I 17001 1 17001 I 17001 I 17001 1 J7001 1 17001 I 17001 I 17001 I 17001 1 17001 1 I I naD1 I 1 17001 t 00 1.00 2.95 I 2.95 I.OD I t410 1 t•00 1 1.00 1 5.97 O-W I 1 2.11 5.93 I 1 0.00.
