;■/    Q 11  APPENDIX  I:   PHYSICAL  CONDITIONS 

FIGURE  LA.I   RECOMMENDED  REPAIRS  AND  ASSOCIATED  COSTS 
FOR  NORTH  FIRST  STREET  IMPACT  AREA 

Streets  and  Alleys 

TASK  o     Remove  and/or  replace  decaying  asphalt  layers 

o     Repave  intersection  of  First  Street  and  Park  Street  as  well  as  small  areas  entering 
driveways 

SIZE     o     3  foot  sections  are  recommended  as  best  to  patch  holes/cracks 
o     Estimated  66  square  yards  of  1"  asphalt 

COST  o     Core  out  and  Patch  over  concrete  -  $20  per  square  yard  for  a  standard  one  inch 
layer  of  asphalt 
o     ($30  to  $40  to  patch  over  gravel  surface) 

Curbs  and  Gutters 

TASK  o     Replacement  of  chipped  and  cracked  curbs  and  gutters  and  filling  of  unnecessary 
curb  cuts  (It  would  be  preferred  to  replace  all  non-conventional  curbing  with  a 
uniform  style) 

SIZE     o     35  lineal  feet  of  curb  and  gutter 

COST  o     Curb  and  Gutter  $20  to  $28  lineal  feet  depending  on  bid  and  quality 

Sidewalks 

In  places  where  the  concrete  is  raised  it  is  recommended  that  it  be  replaced.   Years  of  ground 
freezing,  tree  roots,  as  well  as  heavy  equipment  used  in  site  demolition  have  caused  the 
uneven  sections  to  rise.   It  is  necessary  to  re-grade  the  underlayment  rather  than  patch  the 
joints. 


TASK  o     Recommended  replacement  for  all  raised  sidewalk  sections  (in  excess  of  1") 

SIZE     o     415  square  feet  of  recommended  sidewalk  replacement  from  University  Avenue  to 
Washington  Street 
o     2  sidewalk  ramps 

COST  o     $5  to  $6  per  square  feet  to  remove  and  replace  concrete  with  6"  thick  city 
standard  sidewalk  (Based  on  4  bids  by  private  contractors  on  1000  sq.  ft.) 


APPENDIX  II:    HISTORIC  PRESERVATION 


APPENDIX  ILA.  EXPLANATION  OF  BUILDING  RATINGS 

These  ratings  were  based  upon  field  observation  and  archival  research  by  two  graduate 
students  in  architecture  with  a  specialty  in  historic  buildings.   Physical  condition  ratings  are 
based  on  the  architectural-engineering  consultants'  report  interpreted  in  a  less  technical 
BuUdings  were  evaluated  for  their  individual  merit  as  well  as  in  context  with  the  whole  street. 

CRITERIA 

Aesthetic 

Details:   Architectural  elements  on  a  buUding  give  the  overall  building  architectural  merit  and 
interest   Examples  of  good  details  are  features  which  are  in  historical  character  with  the 
building,  such  as  cornices,  cast  iron  store  fronts,  stone  lintels  or  decorations.   Buildings  with 
few  details  or  that  have  lost  details  due  to  alterations  have  lesser  values. 

Materials:   The  materials  of  which  the  building  is  constructed  can  lend  support  to  the 
historical  character  of  the  street.   Common  to  North  First  Street  is  red  brick,  cast  iron  store 
fronts,  and  stone  lintels.   Buildings  which  have  had  their  original  materials  altered  have  lesser 
values. 

Contribution  to  building  fabric:   Buildings  do  not  stand  alone,  tiiey  must  be  viewed  in  context 
with  the  overall  streetscape.   The  relative  size,  scale  and  proportions  of  a  building  helps 
create  a  cohesive  streetscape.   Another  factor  to  consider  is  whether  the  building  is  in 
historical  character  with  the  street  in  regards  to  style,  materials  and  details. 

Style:   The  architectural  style  in  which  a  building  was  designed  contributes  to  the  historic 
character  of  the  street.   Buildings  may  be  designed  in  "high  style"  with  many  details  and 
good  use  of  materials  or  they  may  be  more  vernacular  with  fewer  extravagances.   Buildings 
which  have  been  altered  or  have  lost  important  details  lose  stylistic  value. 

Integrity:   Whether  a  building  has  been  altered  from  its  original  appearance  affects  the 
character  of  the  street.   The  fewer  alterations  a  building  has  undergone,  the  more  likely  it  will 
contribute  to  the  historic  character  of  the  street 

Physical 

Current  condition:   The  current  physical  condition  of  the  building.   Buildings  which  need 
litUe  or  no  physical  improvements  are  of  high  value.    Buildings  which  have  structural 
problems  or  severe  restoration  needs  have  a  low  value. 

Condition  attainable:    Based  on  the  current  condition  of  the  building,  this  is  an  evaluation  of 
the  ease  or  difficulty  of  restoring  the  building  to  good,  habitable  shape. 


Buildings  which  require  extensive  rehabilitation  or  historic  restoration  will  be  more  difficult 
to  fully   rehabilitate. 

Feasibility  of  rehabHitarion:   An  economic  comparison  of  the  costs  to  fully   rehabilitate  and 
restore  versus  the  cost  to  demolish  the  existing  structure  and  build  a  new  structure.   New 
construction  is  estimated  to  be  one  story,  covering  the  same  square  footage  as  the  original  and 
with  a  construction  cost  of  $70/SF.   Buildings  in  which  rehab  would  cost  less  than  half  are  of 
high  value.   Buildings  in  which  rehab  would  cost  the  same  or  more  have  no  economic 
feasibilty. 

Historical 

Age:   The  appoximate  date  of  construction  for  the  building.   Buildings  which  have  had  their 
facades  altered  no  longer  reflect  their  age  and  therefore  have  little  value.   Most  of  the  historic 
buildings  on  the  street  were  built  by  1900. 

Uses:   What  buildings  were  used  for  can  have  historical  importance  for  the  area.   Buildings 
which  have  had  unusual  or  long  term  uses  are  of  high  value.   Buildings  which  have 
contributed  littie  to  the  business  character  of  the  street  or  are  of  typical  historical  uses  have 
less  value. 

Contribution  to  the  minority  community:   Buildings  which  have  a  direct  business  or  social 
link  to  the  historic  minority  community  serve  an  important  historical  role  to  that  community. 
Buildings  which  housed  businesses  that  served  or  were  owned  by  minorities  are  of  high 
historical  value.    A  building  may  have  also  served  as  a  social  meeting  place  for  minorities, 
such  as  lodges  or  clubs.   Buildings  which  did  not  diiecUy  relate  to  the  minority  community 
before  1965  (before  white  flight)  or  serve  any  social  needs  probably  have  littie  historical 
social  value  to  the  minority  community.   Note:   It  was  not  always  possible  to  determine  if  the 
building  served  minorities  before  1965.  In  these  cases  it  was  assumed  that  they  did  not.

APPENDIX  ILC  SUGGESTED  DESIGN  GUIDELINES  FOR  INFILL  BUILDINGS  TO 
HARMONIZE  WITH  HISTORIC  STRUCTURES 

Alignment,  or  Visual  Continuity 

The  arrangement  of  objects  in  a  straight  line  is  one  of  the  most  effective  ways  to  create  a 
sense  of  relationship  among  buildings  in  a  district,  for  instance: 
o  Consistent  setback  from  the  street; 

o  Strong  horizontal  alignment  of  the  cornices  along  building  tops,  and  of  the  moldings 
separating  the  upper  stories  from  the  lower  stories. 

Patterns/Rhythms 

Materials,  colors,  textures,  size  and  proportion  of  building  elements  or  landscape  features 

repeat  to  create  rhythmic  repetition  or  patterns. 

o  Patterns  are  found  in  building  materials  and  colors,  which  should  be  carried  from  old  to 

new. 
o  Building  elements  such  as  windows  on  upper  stories  of  commercial  buildings  create 

patterns  when  they  have  matching  shapes  and  are  spaced  similarly  across  facades. 
o  Consistent  spaces  or  voids  between  the  buildings  and  the  buildings  themselves  cause  a 

rhythm  that  is  experienced  when  travelling  the  street. 
o  Trees  and  other  landscaping  elements  when  planted  at  regular  interviews  can  create 

patterns,  or  emphasize  the  patterns  of  buildings. 

in.  EXECUTIVE  SUMMARY  OF  SUPPLY  SIDE  ANALYSIS  OF  NORTH  FIRST  ST. 

o  This  section  summarizes  findings  from  three  sets  of  surveys:  existing  business,  potential 
businesses,  and  economic  development  experts. 

o  In  addition  to  the  Police  Station  and  Housing  Authority,  which  also  front  on  University 
Avenue  and  are  a-typical  of  the  smaller  businesses,  there  10  businesses  on  the  East  side  of 
North  First.  There  are  also  14  separate  parcels  of  land  in  just  the  first  two  block  leaving 
three  vacant  lots  and  one  vacant  building.  The  10  businesses  supply  the  following 
services: 

o  Three  of  the  10  refused  or  were  never  available  to  speak  with  enumerators  over  the  two 
months  that  surveys  were  being  administered 

o  Four  of  the  businesses  surveyed  were  determined  to  be  profitable  and  thrive  in  the  low-cost 
environment  available  on  North  First.  Three  of  the  four  are  hair  care  services  catering  to 
special  needs  of  the  African  American  Community. 

o  Three  of  the  businesses  surveyed  were  determined  to  be  marginal  or  struggling  financially 
despite  the  low-cost  overhead  environment. 

o  The  biggest  complaints  from  the  current  businesses  is  the  neglect  of  city  maintained 


infrastructure  and  police  support  to  the  area.  There  is  clear  mistrust  of  the  city  by  most  of 
these  businesses  and  property  owners. 

o  About  90%  of  the  clients  to  all  7  businesses  surveyed  are  African  American  as  are  the 
business  owners.  There  are  strongly  mixed  feeling  about  whether  the  area  should  be 
redeveloped  with  an  identity  as  an  African  American  commercial  district.  While  there  are 
recognized  unmet  service  needs  of  the  African  American  community,  and  opportunities  to  fill 
this  niche,  it  can  also  be  stigmatizing  and  limit  growth  potential.  Half  the  current  owners 
oppose  this  concept,  none  of  the  potential  business  would  want  such  a  recognition,  and  the 
development  experts  feel  such  a  district  is  a  good  idea  but  not  in  this  location.  The  existing 
"catchment  area"  of  a  1/2  mile  radius,  and  the  through  traffic  it  enjoys,  gives  North  First 
Street  a  much  wider  potential  audience. 

o  Demand  for  services  in  the  area  focused  on  the  most  obvious  of  commercial  businesses 
from  grocery  to  convenience  stores,  drug  stores  to  restaurants.  All  of  these  "generic" 
commercial  establishments  already  exist  in  ample  supply  within  a  reasonable  service  distance 
of  North  First  Street,  making  it  very  unlikely  that  any  investor  would  be  forthcoming  for 
these  services  in  this  location.  However,  all  of  the  business  people  and  development  experts 
evaluate  North  First  as  an  attractive  location  for  specialty  shops  in  dining,  clothing, 
entertainment  and  other  areas,  that  can  start  with  small  inventories  and  grow  as  the 
commercial  area  grows  and  improves. 

o  Despite  the  potential  of  the  location,  everyone  agrees  the  area  suffers  from  a  very  negative 
image  whether  real  of  falsely  perceived.  This  image  must  be  turned  around  before  private 
investors  will  invest  without  deep  subsidy  or  risk  reduction.  This  includes  a  high  crime  rate, 
years  of  neglect,  a  run  down  look,  and  structural  safety  problems. 

o  Everyone  looking  at  the  current  conditions  on  North  First  agrees  that  there  will  be  few  new 
investors  and  little  potential  for  growth  without  the  following:  1.  a  clear  plan  of  action  agreed 
upon  by  all  parties,  the  city,  existing  business,  banks  and  other  investors;  2.  The  city  taking 
the  lead  and  the  major  redevelopment  risks;  3.  The  existing  businesses  organized  with  a 
unified  commitment  to  the  redevelopment  plan,  and  linked  up  with  the  larger  East  University 
Avenue  business  redevelopment  for  purposes  of  political  negotiations. 

o  Without  financial  and  business  training  assistance,  none  of  the  current  business  are  likely  to 
survive  rapidly  increasing  costs  associated  with  redevelopment  of  the  area. 

A.  Introduction  to  Supply-Side  Assessment 

The  objectives  of  the  Supply  Team  were  to  assess  the  nature  of  the  businesses  which  arc 
currently  supplying  goods  and  services  on  North  First  Street  and  to  evaluate  the  prospects  of 
the  area  for  redevelopment.   Interviews  were  conducted  with  three  groups  of  informants- 
proprietors  whose  businesses  are  currently  located  on  North  First  Street,  proprietors  whose 
businesses  are  located  elsewhere  in  Champaign,  and  economic  development  and  planning 
professionals  who  are  familiar  with  the  North  First  Street  area.    In  addition  to  interviewing 
professionals  in  these  three  areas,  the  Supply  Team  studied  the  size  of  teh  market  area  which 


may  be  served  by  North  First  Street  and  compared  the  goods  and  services  being  supplied 
there  to  the  goods  and  services  being  supplied  from  other  areas  in  Champaign.   The  results  of 
this  study  and  teh  interviews  were  used  by  the  Supply  Team  to  answer  the  following 
questions. 

What  are  the  current  commercial  land  uses  on  North  First  Street?   The  owners  of  North 
First  Street  businesses  were  interviewed  in  order  to  determine  what  goods  and  services  are 
supplied  in  the  area,  and  to  determine  what  impact  redevelopment  may  have  on  these 
businesses. 

Is  North  First  Street  the  best  location  for  the  businesses  which  presently  operate  there? 

In  addition  to  asking  the  business  owners  about  their  reasons  for  locating  their  businesses  on 
North  First  Street,  a  study  was  conducted  which  sought  to  determine  whether  markets  which 
are  currentiy  being  served  by  North  First  Street  businesses  also  being  served  at  other 
locations.   This  study  reviewed  the  location  of  businessees  which  provide  various  goods  and 
services  and  compared  the  markets  that  these  businesses  serve  to  the  markets  which  are 
served  by  North  First  Street  businesses. 

North  First  Street  business  owners,  economic  development  professionals  and  other  proprietors 
whose  businesses  are  not  located  on  North  First  Street  were  also  asked  whether  the  area 
functions  as  an  African  American  commercial  district   These  respondents  were  asked 
questions  regarding  the  extent  to  which  any  redevelopment  strategy  should  attempt  to  achieve 
an  African  American  commercial  district  in  the  area.   Other  Icoations  for  an  Afrcian 
Amercian  commercial  district  were  also  explored  with  these  respondents. 

What  other  businesses  or  land  uses  would  be  viable  on  North  First  Street? 

North  First  Street  business  owners  were  asked  to  assess  what  goods  and  services  they  think 
their  customers  want.  In  addition,  other  small  business  owners  and  economic  development 
professionals  were  asked  to  assess  the  demand  for  goods  and  services  in  the  area. 

All  respondents  were  asked  their  opinions  regarding  alternative  redevelopment  strategies  that 
might  be  taken  on  North  First  Street

When  you  think  of  North  First  Street  -  that  is,  the  commercial  area  between  University  and 
Washington,  and  the  other  businesses  around  there  what  comes  to  mind? 

-How  important  is  its  market  share  in  terms  of  the  Champaign-Urbana  area? 


-Whom  in  particular  do  you  see  it  serving  or  catering  to? 

•  what  indicates  that  this  area  serves ? 

•  how  important  is  this  market  share?   eg,  how  large  a  share  of  the ^market  do  you  think 

this  area  serves? 

•  how  long  has  the  area  served ? 


•  has  it  been  different  in  the  past,  as  far  as  you  know? 

Bearing  in  mind  where  this  area  is  located  and  how  it  is  linked  with  various  other  commercial 
centers  in  town  (explanation:  First  Street  goes  to  Green  which  goes  to  campus,  it  also  goes  to 
Market  Street  and  out  to  Market  Place.  University  goes  into  downtown  Urbana  and  downtown 
Champaign),  what  businesses  do  you  think  could  hope  to  do  well  there?  (Probe  for  specific 
business  types,  and  for  store/chain  names  if  forthcoming.) 

In  relation  to  what's  there  now,  what  size  of  development  could  viably  function  there,  in  your 
opinion? 

(Bear  in  mind  that  if  they  are  being  negative,  we  still  need  to  know  what  it  would  take  for  this 
area  to  take  off  again.   Probe  as  far  as  you  can  to  get  this  answer.) 

What  do  you  think  it  would  take  to  get  new  businesses  there? 

•  A  change  in  appearance? 

•  Different  or  improved  infrastructure? 

•  Financial  incentives  or  guarantees  to  current  and  new  business? 

•  Changes  in  the  surrounding  neighborhood? 
-In  terms  of  land  use? 

-In  terms  of  who  lives  there  (race?  income?)? 

•  Perceptions  of  crime  or  safety  problems? 

•  Overall  image? 

How  do  you  think  development  of  nearby  areas  would  impact  North  First  Street? 


//  the  area  were  to  remain  commercial,  what  do  you  think  should  be  done  with  it? 
(Probe  for  specifics  of  how  the  area  should  be  redeveloped.   Need  specifics  here.) 

Explanation: 

•  Code  enforcement/make  it  safe 

•  Total  redevelopment 

•  Perhaps  a  combination  of  both 

Regarding  redevelopment  of  any  kind  what  roles  do  you  see  the  city  and  local  banks  playing? 

•  How  much  of  a  role  do  you  think  the  city  should  play,  and  what  kind  of  role  should  that  be? 

•  What  actions  do  you  feel  the  city  needs  to  take  in  order  for  redevelopment  to  begin? 

•  What  role  should  banks  play  and  how  extensive  should  this  role  be? 

•  Should  it  be  one  bank,  or  should  there  be  a  development  corporation,  with  a  number  of  banks 
and  other  entities  sharing  the  risk? 


/  will  now  read  to  you  several  different  redevelopment  scenarios.  I  would  like  for  you  to  explain 
to  me  the  economic  and  political  feasibility  of  each...  (Be  siu^e  to  get  feed  back  after  each 
scenario) 

•  City  tears  down  and  land  banks  the  property  that  is  dilapidated  until  such  a  time  that  the 
private  economy  warrants  new  development. 

•  City  uses  urban  renewal  to  acquire  and  re-plat  the  area,  and  a  single  developer  builds  or 
infills  a  single  office,  commercial,  residential  or  mixed  use  development  and  rents  our  or  sells 
space. 

•  City  builds  or  heavily  subsidizes  2-3  infill  buildings  and  they  begin  a  market  trend  that 
naturally  turns  around  the  area. 

•  The  area  banks  pool  the  risk  through  their  community  development  corporation  and  CRA 
incentives,  and  along  with  the  city  subsidies  they  take  the  lead  in  redevelopment. 

•  The  city  and  banks  help  a  community  based  CDC  form  and  which  takes  the  lead  on 
redevelopment. 

-Which  of  these  do  you  feel  is  most  likely  to  happen?    Why? 


Do  you  see  some  other  more  likely  scenario  taking  place  that  we  haven't  mentioned,  one  that 
makes  more  sense  in  your  opinion? 

•  What  is  it? 

•  Why  do  you  think  this  is  likely? 

•  Do  you  think  this  is  preferable?   Why  or  why  not? 

•  What  would  be  preferable  in  your  opinion? 

Who  do  you  think  (who  do  you  know  of)  will  be  most  involved  in  the  redevelopment  of  this  area? 

•  who  SHOULD  be  involved? 

•  what  would  it  take  to  get  those  people  involved? 

(If  they  see  any  kind  of  extensive  redevelopment:)  Who  is  a  likely  developer? 

Do  you  think  the  zoning  should  be  changed  so  as  to  set  up  a  different  land  use  there? 

Some  people  say  north  first  should  be  preserved  as  an  African  American  commercial  area 
(explanation  may  be  nee  -  eg,  if  done  correctly,  it  can  be  viable  and  also  give  the  Black 
community  a  social/commercial  focus  point  that  is  their  own.) 

•  Do  you  think  there  should  be  such  an  area? 

•  If  so,  where  do  you  think  the  best  location  for  this  area  is? 

-Bradley  and  Market;  other  areas? 

Some  cities  have  areas  which  serve  as  incubators  for  training  and  developing  new  entrepreneurs 
with  struggling  private  businesses.  In  Champaign-Urbana,  if  such  an  incubator  were  developed, 
it  might  be  a  strip  or  a  small  group  of  businesses  where  rents  are  subsidized,  where  a  community 
college  could  train  and  spin-off  business  in  an  effort  to  provide  an  avenue  of  opportunity  to  the 
business  in  an  effort  to  provide  an  avenue  of  opportunity  to  the  poor  they  don't  now  have. 

•  Do  you  think  C-U  could  use  such  an  incubator?   Why  or  why  not? 

•  Would  North  First  be  a  good  location  for  such  an  incubator?   Why  or  why  not? 

•  What  level  of  support  for  this  area  do  you  think  is  appropriate  for  the  city  to  provide?  for 
other  businesses  in  C-U  to  provide? 


[UNIVERSITY  AVENUE  BUSINESSES  ONLY] 

What  was  it  about  this  area  that  made  you  locate  or  relocate  here? 

•  location 

•  neighbors 

•  clientele 

If  North  First  Street  had  been  redeveloped  and  had  similar  rents  to  your  current  location,  would 
you  have  considered  locating  there? 

•  why  or  why  not? 

How  much  might  North  First  Street  expect  to  become  part  of  the  business  growth  on  University? 

•  eg,  could  it  eventually  be  considered  part  of  this  district? 

•  do  you  think  that's  a  favorable  outcome  (eg,  would  it  be  a  good  thing)?

YJhat  do  you  think  it  would  take  to  get  new  businesses  there? 

•  A  change  in  appearance? 

•  Different  or  improved  infrastructure? 

•  Financial  incentives  or  guarantees  to  current  and  new  business? 

•  Changes  in  the  surrounding  neighborhood? 

-In  terms  of  land  use? 

-In  terms  of  who  lives  there  (race?  income?)? 

•  Perceptions  of  crime  or  safety  problems? 

•  Overall  image? 

If  the  area  were  to  remain  commercial,  witat  do  you  think  sliould  be  done  with  it?  (Probe  for 
specifics  of  how  the  area  should  be  redeveloped.  Need  specifics  here.) 
Explanation: 

•  Improvement  of  existing  buildings 

•  Total  redevelopment 

•  Perhaps  a  combination  of  both. 

Regarding  redevelopment  of  any  kind  wliat  roles  do  you  see  tlie  city  and  local  banks  playing? 

•  How  much  of  a  role  do  you  think  the  city  should  play,  and  what  kind  of  role  should 
that  be? 

•  What  actions  do  you  feels  the  city  needs  to  take  in  order  for  redevelopment  to  begin? 

•  What  role  should  banks  play  and  how  extensive  should  this  role  be? 

•  Should  it  be  one  bank,  or  should  there  be  a  development  corporation,  with  a  number 
of  banks  and  other  entities  sharing  the  risk? 

Who  do  you  think  (who  do  you  know  of)  will  be  most  involved  in  the  redevelopment  of  this  area? 

•  who  SHOULD  be  involved? 

•  what  would  it  take  to  get  those  people  involved? 

(If  they  see  any  kind  of  extensive  redevelopment:)  Who  is  a  likely  developer? 

Some  people  say  north  first  should  be  preserved  as  an  African  American  commercial  area 
(explanation  may  be  nee  -  eg,  if  done  correctly,  it  can  be  viable  and  also  give  the  Black 
community  a  social/commercial  focus  point  that  is  their  own.) 

•  Do  you  think  tliere  sliould  be  such  an  area? 

•  If  so,  where  do  you  think  the  best  location  for  this  area  is? 

-Bradley  and  Market;  other  areas?

■  The  masonry  needs  tuckpointing  throughout  including  some  rebuilding  where  perpendicular  masonry  walls  join. 

•  The  storefront  is  mostly  intact  and  could  use  some  minor  cosmetic  renovation.

•  A  one  story  masonry  load-bearing  structure  with  a  partial  basement  and  partial  crawl  space,  wood  frame  floor  and  roof  structures, 
•approximately  20'  wide  by  65'  deep  with  an  attached  single  story  wood  frame  structure  approx.  20'  wide  by  45'  deep. 

■  The  building  was  probably  a  Victorian  era  structure,  but  its  facade  was  modernized  in  the  1950's  or  1960's.  It  has  since  been  altered 
vurther. 

•  Renovation  costs:  $55,500. 

^se 

^  Pool  Hall.  The  masonry  portion  of  the  building  houses  the  pool  room  and  the  frame  portion  houses  restrooms  and  storage. 


Life  Safety 

•  The  North  and  South  walls  provide  adequate  fire  separation  for  the  masonry  portion  of  the  building.  The  North  and  South  frame  walls 
[provide  no  fire  rating  for  the  frame  portion  of  the  building. 

I  The  structure  of  the  frame  portion  of  the  building  is  in  failure  at  botti  roof  and  floor  levels  and  possess  risk  to  inhabitants. 
i  In  addition  to  main  entrance,  second  means  of  egress  locations  are  possible  through  existing  openings. 

Accessibility 

! 

I  The  entrance,  while  not  accessible,  could  be  rewor1<ed  with  little  difficulty.

escription 

•  A  two  story  masonry  load-bearing  structure  on  a  crawl  space  with  frame  floor  and  roof  structures,  approximately  20'  wide  by  40'  deep 
rnain  structure,  with  an  attached  one-story  masonry  wing  at  the  rear,  on  a  slab  approximately  20'  wide  by  15'  deep. 
r  The  building  is  a  relatively  nondescript  structure  with  minimal  brick  and  limestone  detailings. 
'•   Renovation  cost:  S53. 150 


Use 

-•  First  floor  is  a  retail  use  with  two  employees  in  evidence. 

•  Second  floor  is  vacant  and  was  most  recently  used  as  an  apartment. 

Life   Safety 

•  North  and  South  walls  are  fire  walls.  The  North  wall  is  intact.  The  South  wall  presently  opens  to  a  parking  lot  and  is  therefore  acceptable 
at  this  point  with  its  numerous  window  openings.  The  ohginal  ceiling  material  is  not  visible  but  it  is  unlikely  that  there  is  an  adequate  fire 
separation  between  the  two  separate  uses. 

Only  one  exit  exists  from  each  level  which  is  adequate  due  to  the  square  footage,  however  windows  from  second  floor  don't  egress. 

Accessibility 

No  handicapped  access  to  either  space. 

No  handicapped  restrooms;  only  one  would  be  required  due  to  tow  employee  number. 


Exterior/Interior 

•  Roof  shows  evidence  of  leaking  and  likely  needs  to  be  replaced. 

•  Storefront  requires  minimal  cosmetic  improvements. 

•  Window  replacement  likely  at  second  floor. 

•  Lower  level  is  in  need  of  new  handicapped  restroom  and  cosmetic  improveme 

•  Upper  level  is  in  need  of  overall  renovation.

escription 

A  one-story  partial  masonry  load-bearing  structure  with  a  full  basement,  wood  frame  floor  and  roof  structures,  approximately  20'  wide  by 
I'  deep,  with  an  attached  single  story  concrete  masonry  unit  structure  with  a  slab  on  grade  and  wood  frame  roof  structure. 
This  is  a  Victorian  era  structure  with  an  elaborate  corbeled  brick  cornice.  The  cast-iron  storefront  is  at  least  partially  intact. 


L 


Buddie's  Lounge,  a  jazz  club  and  bar.  The  main  building  houses  the  bar-room  and  the  addition  houses  restrooms. 

!fe  Safety 

The  North  wall  is  a  fire  separation  wall  and  is  intact.  The  South  wall,  originally  an  interior  wall  between  this  structure  and  the  now 
jmolished  118  N.  First  Street,  is  wood  frame  with  plywood  siding  and  has  no  fire  rating. 

bcessibility 

The  entrance  is  accessible  with  the  exception  of  a  vestibule-type  enclosure  which  needs  to  be  enlarged. 

Restrooms  are  not  handicapped  accessible  and  this  will  be  required  with  any  renovation  in  this  area.  Present  fixture  counts  are  probably 

jt  adequate  for  this  occupancy.

e  roof  appears  to  be  in  acceptable  condition.  The  entrance  facade  has  been  recently  renovated  in  keeping  with  the  historic  nature  of 
e  building  and  neighbortiood.  The  South  wall  shows  water  damage  and  likely  needs  to  be  flashed  and  resided, 
fhelnterior  is  presently  undergoing  renovation  and  will  require  little  in  the  way  of  cosmetic  improvements. 
-Jew  restrooms  are  planned  by  the  ov/ner.  They  will  need  to  be  increased  in  size  and  number  of  fixtures  and  be  handicapped  accessible.

Description 

A  two-story  masonry  load-bearing  structure  with  a  slab  on  grade  and  concrete  second  level  floor  and  roof  structures,  approximately  35" 
vide  by  40'  deep. 
This  building  was  built  by  its  present  owner  in  1960  and  while  nondescript,  is  well  maintained. 


Jse 

The  first  floor  houses  two  businesses,  a  barber  shop  and  a  beauty  parlor,  while  the  upper  level  houses  a  three  bedroom  apartment 
nhabited  by  the  owner. 

.ife   Safety 

The  South  masonry  fire  wall  is  intact  and  openings  on  the  three  remaining  facades  are  permissible. 
Fire  separation  between  levels  and  differing  uses  is  achieved  through  concrete  floor  structure. 

Each  business  has  2  means  of  egress  and  the  second  floor  apartment  has  an  individual  entrance,  but  it  is  unlikely  that  the  bedroom 
(indows  meet  egress  requirements. 

accessibility 

The  business  entrances  are  not  handicapped  accessible  due  to  a  step  up.  Secondary  exits  are  at  a  grade. 
The  business  restrooms  are  not  handicapped  accessible  but  would  not  require  upgrading. 
i  The  apartment  has  no  accessibility  requirements. 


xterior/lnterior 

Roof  has  been  maintained  and  replaced  at  regular  intervals. 
,The  exterior  facades  show  little  need  for  improvements.  Signage  is  a  possibility. 
The  North  business  could  use  some  minor  interior  repair. 
The  South  business  has  been  recently,  cosmetically  remodeled.

APPENDIX  V:    FINANCIAL  DEVELOPMENT  OPTIONS 


APPENDIX   V.A   FUNDING  SOURCES:  DETAILED  EVALUATIONS 

Type  One 

Name  of  Program: 

Bank  Loans 

Type  of  Funding: 

Private 

Description  of  Funding  Source: 

Direct  loans  for  business  development  by  cities  are  usually  restricted  by  state  legislation.   To 
overcome  these  restrictions  funds  are  provided  indirecdy  through  city  economic  development 
corporations  that  administer  city  grants  and  loans.   In  states  where  cities  are  granted  wider 
financial  powers,  public  banking  is  becoming  an  innovative  device  whereby  direct  loans, 
direct  and  indirect  interest  subsidies,  and  loan  guarantees  are  available  to  private  businesses 
for  development  purposes. 

Generally,  loans  are  the  most  flexible  financial  tool  available  to  leverage  private  investment 
because  they  can  be  tailored  to  fit  the  needs  of  the  borrower.   Loans  usually  differ  in  terms  of 
purpose,  size,  amortization  schedule,  and  repayment  status.   Lending  institutions  are 
specializing  in  the  kinds  of  loans  that  they  will  provide,  whether  they  be  for  land,  buildings, 
equipment,  working  capital,  small  business  enterprises,  or  medium  business  enterprises.   The 
repayment  schedule,  known  as  the  amortization  schedule  can  last  from  1  to  30  years, 
depending  on  the  purpose  of  the  loan.   Innovative  amortization  schedules  include  balloon 
loans  and  deferred  principle  payments. 

Applicability  to  North  First  Street 

Many  banks  are  currentiy  exploring  ways  to  cover  the  gaps  in  providing  loans  to  low  and 
moderate  income   small  business  owners  and  operators.   A  problem  with  the  current  structure 
of  commercial  lending  is  that  loan  applications  under  $15,000  are  usually  denied  because 
there  is  not  sufficient  profit  available  to  the  lender.  The  Champaign  County  Regional 
Planning  Commission  is  currentiy  working  to  create  a  system  by  which  small  business 
owners  who  need  less  than  $15,000  will  be  able  to  obtain  loans  through  private  corporations 
such  as  the  Champaign  County  Community  Development  Corporation,  which  is  a  pooled  risk 
consortium  of  banks. 

Another  available  option  is  the  increased  use  of  Community  Reinvestment  Act  funds  provided 
by  local  lenders  for  commercial  rather  than  residential  loans.   Historically,  CRA  funds  have 
only  been  used  for  residential  loans.   Use  of  CRA  requires  some  public  encouragement 
because  the  incentives  to  get  involved  within  the  Federal  banking  system  are  not  that  strong.

The  CCCDC  has  two  types  of  funds  available,  Community  Service  Block  Grant  (CSBG),  and 
Sm^^°  Developtn^Assistance  ftogram  (CDAP  see  above).  Both  thypes  of  funds  can

the  federal  government  so  they  are  ineligible  for  the  funds  the  County  distributes. 


Type  One 

Name  of  Program: 

Community  Development  Block  Grants  (CDBG) 

Type  of  Funding: 

City  Government 

Description  of  Funding  Source: 

Community  Development  Block  grants  allow  substantial  funding  flexibility  and  can  be  used 
to  match  other  Federal  aid  sources  such  as  UDAG.   Eligible  applicants  include  cities, 
counties,  states  and  Indian  tribes.   Local  governments  establish  priorities  for  development 
activities  and  allocate  funds  accordingly.   CDBG  funds  are  classified  as  metro  entitiements, 
small-city  entitlements,  and  administered  discretionary  funds.   Metro  funds  are  given  to  cities 
with  a  population  of  50,000  or  naore  that  are  central  cities  in  a  Metropolitan  Statistical  Area. 
Grants  which  generally  focus  on  low/moderate  income  areas  are  distributed  according  to  a 
dual  formula  based  on  variables  of  population,  poverty,  age  of  housing  stock,  overcrowded 
housing,  and  growth  lag.   Eligible  activities  include  comprehensive  planning,  project  planning, 
architectiuul  and  engineering  services,  land  acquisition,  clearance  and  relocation,  rehab,  new 
construction,  public  works  and  infrastructure  improvements.   Small  Cities  grants  are  aimed  at 
small  cities  located  in  metro  and  non-metro  areas  for  purposes  of  physical  and  economic 
development.   Funds  are  distributed  on  the  basis  of  type  of  program,  single  purpose  versus 
comprehensive,  and  specific  criteria  established  by  HUD.   Economic  development  proposals 
which  can  be  submitted  under  either  single  purpose  or  comprehensive  program  grants  must 
indicate  participation  by  citizens  and  a  strong  private  commitment. 

If  a  city  chooses,  CDBG  funds  can  be  made  available  to  private  non-profit  organizations, 
neighborhood  based  non-profit  groups,  local  development  companies,  and  small  business 
investment  companies.   Business  capitalization  can  be  used  for  grants,  loans,  loan  guarantees, 
and  technical  assistance  services  to  small  firms,   the  flexibility  in  distribution  of  CDBG  funds 
coupled  witii  the  wide  range  of  activities  eligible  for  use  by  public  and  non-profit  groups  can 
significantiy  affect  implementation  of  local  economic  development  strategies. 

Applicability  to  North  First  Street: 

Champaign   County's  CDBG  fund  now  sits  at  approximately  $1  million  dollars.   This  has 
been  an  increase  in   the  funds  that  are  available  firom  last  year  by  about  $250,000.   If  CDBG 
money  were  to  be  allocated  to  North  First  Street  the  most  likely  scenario  for  the  use  of  these 
funds  would  be  for  demolition  of  various  buildings  and/or  relocation  costs  that  may  occur 
because  of  the  demoUtion.   The  approximate  amount  of  funding  that  North  First  Street  would 
be  able  to  obtain  would  be  in  the  area  of  $150,000. 


Type  One 

Name  of  Program: 

Urban  Development  Action  Grants  (UDAG) 

Type  of  Funding: 

Lx)cal  and  Federal  Government 

Description  of  Funding  Source: 

Urban  development  action  grants  are  available  to  severely  distressed  urban  cities  and  counties 
on  a  grant  or  loan  basis  from  the  Federal  Department  of  Housing  and  Urban  Development 
(HUD)  for  economic  development  and  neighborhood  revitalization  purposes.   Action  grants 
are  used  to  fund  discrete  projects  for  commercialAndustrial  and  residential  development  in 
areas  adversely  affected  by  excessive  housing  abandonment  or  deterioration,  population  and 
outmigration,  and  tax  base  declines.   To  receive  UDAG  fiinds  cities  and  metro  areas  must  be 
distressed  in  2  of  4  categories:  age  of  housing  stock,  per  capita  income,  population 
lag/decline,  unemployment,  job  lag/decline,  and  poverty.   Small  cities  must  establish  distress 
levels  for  age  of  housing  stock,  per  capita  income,  population  lag/decline,  and  poverty. 
Eligible  activities  include  land  acquisition,  clearance  and  relocation,  rehab,  new  construction, 
public  works  and  infrastructure,  and  equipment  and  machinery. 

The  Department  of  Housing  and  Urban  Development  considers  the  potential  impacts  of  the 
proposed  project  on  low/moderate  income  persons  and  areas,  financial  participation  and 
commitments  by  local  private  and  public  groups,  project  feasibility,  and  the  leveraging  ratio. 
UDAG  funds  are  limited  to  physical  development  activities  and  have  generally  been  used  to 
construct  parking  facilities,  make  general  public  facility  improvements,  commercial/industrial 
utility  improvements,  land  cost  subsidies,  and  developer  improvement  loans. 

Applicability  to  North  First  Street: 

UDAG  was  a  one  time  allocation  fund  set  up  by  the  Department  of  Housing  and  Urban 
Development.   Champaign  received  approximately  $1.9  million,  33%  which  mat  be  used  for 
economic  development  grants  and  loans.   Currentiy  the  funds  for  economic  development 
grants  and  loans  are  still  available,  and  have  not  been  delegated  to  any  specific  use.   UDAG 
funds  may  be  used  for  start-up  loans  and  low-interest  blended  loans,  for  the  establishment 
and  redevelopment  of  existing  buildings  in  City-established  target  areas.     The  most  likely 
scenario  would  be  to  use  UDAG  funds  for  major  redevelopment  subsidy. 


Type  One 

Name  of  Program 

Open  Space  Lands  Acquisition  and  Development  (OSLAD) 

Type  of  Program 

State 

Description  of  Program: 

Local  governments  are  provide  funding  assistance  for  the  purpose  of  acquiring  and/or 
developing  public  outdoor  recreation  areas.   Approved  projects  are  eligible  for  up  to  50% 
reimbursement. 

Eligible  participants  in  the  OSLAD  program  include  Counties,  Municipalities,  Townships, 
Special  Districts:  park,  conservation  and  forest  preserve  districts,  and  any  unit  of  local 
government  empowered  to  acquire  and  develop  public  outdoor  recreation  lands.

Applicability  to  North  First  Street: 

OSLAD  has  never  been  used  in  Champaign,  however,   it  may  be  ideal  funding  source  to 
finance  the  development  of  a  park  between  Hill  and  Washington  Streets.   Funds  which 
currendy  may  be  available  to  Champaign  through  OSLAD  could  amount  to  $400,000.

Type  One 

Name  of  Program 

Urban  Renewal 

Type  of  Funding 

Federal 

Description  of  Program 

The  cities  Urban  Renewal  fund  is  used  in  different  building  activities  aimed  at  restoring  the 
decayed  and  obsolete  physical  urban  elements  and  therebye  making  them  functionally  sound 
according  to  the  current  standards.   Areas  where  preservation  and  restoration  are  highly 
needed  are  elgible  for  Urban  Renewal  Funds.   The  funds  are  distributed  on  a  apllication  basis. 
Currentiy  Champaign  Urbana  has  funds  allocated  for  use  in  Urban  Renewal  areas. 

Applicability  to  North  First  Street 

This  program  is  a  key  to  the  development  of  North  First  Street   This  is  an  ideal  funding 
source  to  be  used  for  infrastrucutre  repair  and  streetscaping.   Funds  are  already  available  and 
should  be  considered  a  very  likely  source. 


Type  One 

Name  of  Program 

Community  Development  Assistance  Program  (CDAP) 

Type  of  Funding 

State 

Description  of  Funding  Source: 

CDAP  assists  Illinois*  local  governments  with  financing  for  economic  development,  public 
facilities  and  housing  rehabilitation  projects.   The  grant  funds  may  be  loaned  to  businesses  for 
projects  which  will  create  or  retain  jobs  within  the  community.   Grant  funds  may  also  be  used 
by  the  local  government  for  improvements  to  public  infrastructure  that  directly  support 
economic  development   Under  the  housing  rehabilitation  component,  grants  are  provided  to 
communities  to  assist  with  rehabilitating  substandard  housing.   Under  the  public  facilities 
components,  grants  are  provided  to  assist  communities  with  planning,  engineering  and 
construction  costs  associated  with  public  works  improvements.   Also,  the  department  has  set 
aside  funds  to  help  communities  address  accessibility  standards.   The  program  is  targeted  to 
helping  primarily  low  and  moderate-income  persons. 

Applicability  to  North  First  Street 

The  program  certainly  could  be  beneficial  to  the  rehabilitation  of  North  First  Street.   A 
combination  of  CDAP  and  possibly  a  Federal  fund  may  provide  the  perfect  combination  for 
the  financing  of  a  North  First  Street  project 


Type  One 

Name  of  Program 

Tax  Increment  Financing  (TIF) 

Type  of  Funding 

District  Funding 

Description  of  Funding  Source 

The  tax  increment  refers  to  the  increase  in  tax  revenues  resulting  from  new  development. 
The  increment  is  used  to  finance  public  development  projects  or  to  repay  either  general 
obligation  bonds  (based  on  the  fiill  faith  and  credit  of  the  government  unit)  or  revenue  bonds 
(based  on  the  credit  of  the  project)  which  have  been  issued  to  finance  development  activities. 
When  using  tax  increment  financing,  property  is  designated  as  a  tax  increment  site  or  district. 
The  time  for  which  the  tax  increment  is  valid  can  be  open-ended,  closed,  or  dependent  on  the 
completion  of  the  project  and  the  repayment  of  the  bonds.   Following  designation  as  a  tax 
increment  area,  taxes  are  assessed  on  the  underdeveloped  property  order  to  establish  the 
current  tax  base  and  tax  revenues.   The  tax  base  is  then  frozen  at  this  level  for  the  tax 
increment  period.   Following  development,  property  valuation  and  millage  rates  are  expected 
to  increase,  resulting  in  increased  tax  revenues.   The  increments  of  revenues  above  the  frozen 
base  are  applied  to  project  financing.   Tax  increment  devices  are  generally  utilized  by  city 
councils,  city  planning  and  development  offices,  development  commissions,  industrial 
development  commissions,  and  redevelopment  commissions. 

Eligible   activities  for  TIF  include  debt  service,  utilities,  land  assembly,  relocation, 
demolition,  site  preparation,  markdowns,  and  street  improvements.   These  activities  may  be 
related  to  residential,  commercial,  and/or  industrial  purposes.   The  revenue  capacity  from 
TIF  is  large;  however,  there  is  a  certain  amount  of  risk  associated  with  financing  projects 
with  this  device.  If  the  property  valuation  is  not  increased  due  to  a  lower  level  of  private 
investment  than  expected,  the  tax  increment  may  not  be  realized.   If  this  occurs,  funds  will 
not  be  available  to  finance  the  project  or  repay  the  bonds.   In  increment  areas  with  an 
unlimited  time  period,  this  device  may  be  extended  indefinitely.   In  this  case  the  municipality 
is  faced  with  supplying  services  to  the  development  without  benefiting  from  revenues  gained 
from  the  development.   Advantages  of  tax  increment  financing  include  the  fact  that  the 
municipality  does  not  lose  taxes  collected  prior  to  development  and  that  the  designated  area 
does  not  involve  special  assessment. 

Applicability  to  North  First  Street 

A  portion  of  the  North  First  study  area  is  located  in  the  East  Unviersity  Avenue  Tax 
Increment  Financing  district.   TIF  funds  can  be  used  for  various  redevelopment  purposes.    It 
is  likely  tiiat  TIF  funds  will  be  used  on  North  First  Street,  however,  North  First  Street  is  only 
a  small  portion  of  a  larger  TIF  district  so  competition  for  funds  may  be  a  problem.   The  City 
is  currently  working  on  an  overall  redevelopment  plan  for  use  of  TEF  funds. 


Type  Two 

Name  of  Program: 

Special  Assessment  Districts 

Type  of  Funding: 

Government 

Description  of  Funding  Type: 

Special  assessments  are  generally  levied  in  historic  preservation  areas,  small  residential  areas, 
and/or  commercial  blocks.   Special  taxes  arc  assessed  on  either  an  ad  valorem  basis  or  on  a 
special  benefit  basis.   In  districts  in  which  the  ad  valorem  procedure  is  used  ,  taxes  are 
assessed  on  the  basis  of  structural  footage,  revenues  received  from  the  property,  and  market 
changes.   In  districts  in  which  the  special  benefit  technique  is  applied,  taxes  are  generally 
levied  according  to  front  or  square  footage  and  in  some  cases  on  revenues  from  the  property. 
In  contrast  to  the  ad  valorem  method  which  includes  the  unpredictable  factor  of  market 
changes,  the  special  benefit  technique  may  facilitate  more  private  investment.   Based  on  a 
negotiated  formula  the  investor  is  more  able  to  determine  the   benefits  of  locating  in  a  special 
district   Revenues  from  special  tax  levies  are  used  to  finance  public  services  and 
development  activities  within  the  designated  area  or  retire  bonds  issued  to  finance  these 
activities. 

Applicability  to  North  First  Street 

The  City  of  Champaign  is  currendy  working  to  establish  a  special  assessment  district  for  its 
Downtown.   For  a  special  assessment  or  special  service  district  to  be  an  effective  tool  for 
redevelopment,  a  district  must  already  have  an  established  tax  base  and  existing  owners  must 
be  capable  of  providing  the  additional  tax  used  to  fund  redevelopment.   Presendy,  Nonh  First 
Street  is  not  a  candidate  for  establishment  of  such  a  district  because  of  existing  conditions.   If 
property  owners  on  North  First  Street  choose  to  work  with  the  East  University  Avenue 
Merchants  Association  (Downtown  East)  in  creating  a  formal  not-for-profit  corporation  in  the 
futiue,  the  larger  district  may  be  able  to  effectively  establish  and  contribute  to  a  special 
assessment  disdict. 


Type  Two 

Name  of  Program: 

Revolving  Loan  Funds 

Type  of  Funding: 

Private 

Description  of  Funding  Source: 

A  revolving  loan  fund  is  basically  a  pool  of  money  capitalized  from  payments  received  on 
outstanding  loans.  Loan  payments  going  into  the  fund  are  then  used  to  finance  development 
projects  for  new  borrowers.   In  this  sense,  money  recycles  or  revolves  through  the  fund. 
Generally,  revolving  loan  funds  are  used  to  finance  high-risk  projects  in  cases  where 
conventional  financing  is  refused.   The  loan  funds  which  are  growing  throughout  the  U.S., 
can  be  used  for  many  development  activities  including  land  and  property  acquisition  ,  site 
preparation  and  rehab. 

Initial  capitalization  of  revolving  loan  funds  is  usually  obtained  in  one  of  two  ways:  grants 
from  private  financial  institutions  and  foundations  may  be  used  as  seed  money  to  establish  the 
loan  fund  or  a  government  unit  may  create  a  non-profit  agency  through  which  the  city 
allocates  CDBG  monies  for  the  fund.   In  the  latter  cases,  CDBG  funds  are  used  to  leverage 
further  investment  and  maintain  a  steady  cash  flow  in  the  fund. 


Type  Two 

Name  of  Program 

SBA  Assistance  Programs 

Type  of  Funding 

Government 

Description  of  Funding  Source 

SBA  (7)a  Business  Loans  and  Loan  Guarantees:   In  general,  SBA  programs  encourage  risk 
sharing,  foster  economic  growth  and  facilitate  success  of  small  business  enterprises.   Section 
(7)a,  the  most  widely  used  SBA  program,  provides  loans  and  loan  guarantees  to 
independently  owned  profit-making  small  businesses.   Depending  on  the  size  of  the  city  in 
which  the  business  is  located,  the  applicants  must  submit  letters  of  denial  from  local  financial 
institutions,  personal  financial  statements,  management  resumes,  and  financial  statements  of 
any  business  affiliates.   Eligible  activities  for  (7)a  funds  include  working  capital,  inventory, 
various  debt  consolidations,  property  acquisition,  construction,  rehab,  leasehold  improvements, 
and  equipment  and  machinery.   Generally,  (7)a  loans  and  loan  guarantees  cannot  be  used  with 
IRB's  or  for  such  purposes  as  the  payment  of  bank  taxes,  personal  debt  payments  speculation, 
or  bailout  of  creditors.   Limits  for  (7)a  loans  vary  from  $150,000  to  $350,000  depending  on 
the  office  level;  and  guarantees  may  be  made  for  90%  of  the  loan  up  to  a  maximum  of 
$500,000.   Since  small  businesses  play  a  significant  role  in  an  area's  overall  business  activity 
picture,  (7)a  funds  as  well  as  other  SBA  program  funds  can  affect  economic  development 
patterns. 

Applicability  to  North  First  Street: 

SBA  is  a  federal  program  that  has  offered  assistance  to  communities  such  as  North  First 
Street.   To  qualify  for  this  type  of  loan  or  loan-guarantee  business  owners  will  have  to 
produce  letters  of  denial  from  various  lending  institutions.   It  is  unable  to  find  out  who 
applied  for  commercial  loans  because  this  is  not  publicly  held  information.     Currently  it  is 
hard  to  determine  what  the  probability  is  for  certain  business  on  North  First  Street  to  qualify 
for  this  program. 


Type  2 

Name  of  Program 

SBA  Tree  Planting  Initiative 

Type  of  Funding 
Government 

Description  of  Funding  Source: 

The  Small  Business  Administration  Tree  Planting  Initiative  has  been  developed  for  the 
purpose  of  contracting  with  small  businesses  to  plant  trees  on  public  lands.   The  program  is 
to  encoiu^ge  and  develop  the  capacity  of  small  business  concerns.  Lx)cal  govemmetal  units 
must  provide  a  minimum  of  40%  funding  in  the  matching  grant  program. 

Applicability  to  North  First  Street 

Program  such  as  this  can  be  used  not  only  to  enhnace  North  First  Street  aesthetically,  but  also 
would  provide  jobs  for  local  small  businesses.

Type  Two 

Name  of  Program 

Job  Training  Partnership  Act 

Type  of  Funding 

Government 

Description  of  Funding  Source: 

Under  Employment  and  Training  Administration,  the  Job  Training  Partnership  Act(JTPA) 
provides  various  programs  whereby  state  and  local  government  sponsors  receive  funds  for 
manpower  activities.   Manpower  programs  are  being  linked  more  frequently  with  economic 
development  activities  in  an  effort  to  develop  a  labor  force  with  skills  matching  those 
required  by  are  enterprise.   One  program  component  which  encourages  JTPA  linkages  with 
economic  development  is  the  ability  of  local  governments  to  offer  land  write-downs,  tax 
abatements,  and/or  public  services  to  businesses  hiring  JTPA  eligible  employees.   Another 
incentive  to  business  is  the  receipt  of  wage  subsidies  for  trainees.   JTPA  activities  can  be 
joindy  used  with  other  Federal  assistance  programs,  such  as  CDBG  and  EDA. 

Applicability  to  North  First  Street: 

JTPA  has  been  used  before  in  the  Champaign  Urbana  for  various  job  training  and  skill 
development  purposes.   North  First  Street  is  eligible  for  this  program  but  it  is  less  likely  to  be 
a  large  part  of  the  redevelopment  of  North  First  Street 


Type  Two 

Name  of  Program 

Industrial  Revenue  Bonds  (ERB's) 

Type  of  Funding 

Government  Bonds 

Description 

IRB's  are  issued  by  a  government  agency  to  a  developer/firm.   IRB's  are  not  limited  to 
redevelopment  activities,  rather,  they  can  be  used  to  finance  a  variety  of  commercial  and 
industrial  activities.   IRB's  are  issued  to  a  developer  with  the  assistance  of  a  bond  counsel,  a 
local  government  representative,  and  the  IRS.   The  credit  of  IRBs  is  based  on   the  firm's 
reputation. 

ERBs  are  federally  tax  exempt  and  are  associated  with  lower  interest  rate  because  of  the  tax 
exempt  status,   IRBs  are  basically  a  federal  incentive  device  rather  tiian  a  state/local  incentive 
tool,  in  that  the  federal  government  is  providing  a  development  subsidy  in  the  form  of  a  tax 
exemption.   Developers  benefit  in  two  ways.   First,  financing  rates  are  lower  when  compared 
to  conventional  financing.   Second,  IRBs  can  be  issued  for  100%  of  the  project's  capital 
costs,  thus  requiring  no  equity  financing  on  the  part  of  the  developers. 

A  major  problem  associated  witii  the  use  of  IRBs  is  related  to  the  high  fixed-cost  of  issuance. 
Many  small  enterprises  are  excluded  from  using  IRB  financing  due  to  Uiese  costs.  In  several 
states  mechanisms  are  being  developed  to  overcome  this  problem. 

Amount  of  Available  Funding 

Maximum  of  $10  million  to  an  individual  developer 


Type  Two 

Name  of  program: 

Enterprise  Zone  (EZ) 

Type  of  funding:

economic  growth  and  neighborhood  revitalization.  The  Enterprise  Zone  is  the  culmination  of 
efforts  put  forth  by  the  City  of  Champaign  and  Champaign  County  to  encourage  private 
investment  in  areas  targeted  for  development  or  rehabilitation  such  as  North  First  Street.  To 
be  eligible  for  incentives,  three  basic  criteria  must  be  met:  location,  timing  and  project 
definition.   This  funding  source  will  be  beneficial  for  the  area  of  North  First  Street  which  is 
not  part  of  the  TIF  district. 

The  Enterprise  Zone  Board,  the  Zone  Administrator  and  the  Deputy  Zone  Administrator,  or
