NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
VILLAGE OF DEERFIELD, LAKE AND COOK COUNTIES, ILLINOIS
PROPOSED DOWNTOWN/VILLAGE CENTER REDEVELOPMENT AREA
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on December 19, 2022, at 7:30 p.m., at the Deerfield
Village Hall at 850 Waukegan Road, Deerfield, Illinois, a public hearing will be held to consider
the approval of the proposed redevelopment plan and project (the "Redevelopment Plan and
Project") and the designation of that certain proposed redevelopment project area to be known as
the Downtown/Village Center Redevelopment Project Area (the "Downtown Redevelopment
Area"). The Downtown Redevelopment Area consists of the territory described in Exhibit I
attached and is generally described below:
The Downtown Redevelopment Area consists of the area generally located between Hazel
Avenue to the north and Deerfield Road to the south, and between Chestnut Street to the west and
Rosemary Terrace to the east. More specifically, the Downtown Redevelopment Area includes
retail/commercial, institutional, recreational, and some single- and multi -family residential.
At the hearing comments will be considered on whether to approve the Redevelopment
Plan and Project for, and the designation of, the proposed Downtown Redevelopment Area and
adoption of tax increment allocation financing therefor. The proposed Redevelopment Plan and
Project is on file and available for public inspection during normal business hours at the Deerfield
Village Hall, 850 Waukegan Road, Deerfield, Illinois, 60015. The Redevelopment Plan and
Project is also available on the Village's website at htt.p://www.deerfield.il.us
Pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan and Project, the Village proposes to reduce or
eliminate those conditions that continue to qualify the Downtown Redevelopment Area as a
"conservation area," as that term is defined in the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act,
as amended, and to enhance the tax base of the Village and the taxing districts having taxable
property within the Downtown Redevelopment Area by utilizing tax increment financing to fund
various eligible project costs ("Redevelopment Project Costs") to stimulate private investment
within the Downtown Redevelopment Area. The Redevelopment Plan and Project includes an
eligibility report providing in reasonable detail the continued basis for qualifying the
Redevelopment Project Area as a "conservation area" as that term is defined in the Tax Increment
Allocation Redevelopment Act, as amended.
The Redevelopment Plan and Project objectives include, but are not limited to, the
following:
Strengthen the commercial areas of the Village in order to provide a sound economic
base, while maintaining a compatible relationship between the commercial areas and
other areas of the Village.
2. Maintain the Village Center as the governmental, recreational, cultural and visual
center of Deerfield.
{00128436.11 6
3. Guide future growth within Deerfield's Planning Jurisdiction so that public facilities
and amenities can be effectively and economically provided, and that such growth does
not adversely change the Village.
4. Maintain the variety of the existing housing stock and supplement it in suitable
locations with safe, well -constructed housing or a density, scale, and character
compatible with adjacent housing.
5. Continue to maintain and improve traffic circulation within Deerfield by supporting
transportation system improvements and managing traffic to ensure safe, coordinated,
and efficient flow of vehicles and people within and through the Village.
6. Encourage and provide a safe and convenient environment for the pedestrian and
bicyclist.
7. Help protect recreational and open space areas and encourage the acquisition of
additional recreation and open space facilities.
To achieve these objectives, the Redevelopment Plan and Project proposes to provide
assistance by paying or reimbursing costs related to the acquisition, construction and installation
of public facilities, property assembly, site preparation and improvement, environmental
remediation, job training, the execution of one or more redevelopment agreements, and the
payment of financing, administrative and other professional costs, and payment and/or
reimbursement of any other Redevelopment Project Costs, all as provided under the Tax Increment
Allocation Redevelopment Act, as amended.
Prior to the date of the hearing, each taxing district having property in the Downtown
Redevelopment Area and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity may
submit written comments to the Village, to the attention of the Village Clerk, Deerfield Village
Hall, 850 Waukegan Road, Deerfield, Illinois 60015.
The Village has convened a joint review board to consider and make a recommendation
regarding the proposed Redevelopment Plan and Project for, and the designation of, the proposed
Downtown Redevelopment Area and the adoption of tax increment allocation financing therefor,
in accordance with the requirements of the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, as
amended. The joint review board consists of a representative selected by each community college
district, park district, library district, school district, township, fire protection district and county
that will have the authority to directly levy taxes on the property within the Downtown
Redevelopment Area at the time that the Downtown Redevelopment Area is approved, a
representative selected by the Village, and a public member. The joint review board meeting is
scheduled to be held on November 10, at 2:00 p.m., at the Deerfield Village Hall, 850 Waukegan
Road, Deerfield, Illinois 60015.
At the hearing, all interested persons or affected taxing districts may file written comments
and objections with the Village Clerk and may be heard orally with respect to any issues regarding
the approval of the Redevelopment Plan and Project for and the designation of the Downtown
{00128436.11 7
Redevelopment Area and the adoption of tax increment allocation financing therefor. The hearing
may be adjourned by the President and the Board of Trustees of the Village without further notice
other than a motion to be entered upon the minutes of the hearing fixing the time and place of the
subsequent hearing.
