COUNCIL ACTION: Approved As Amended on 11/6/2007
DATE: 11/6/2007 REFERENCE C-22514 LOG NAME: 05ENCHANTEDBAY
NO..
NON- PUBLIC
CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT HEARING: NO
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of a Five Year Tax Abatement Agreement with Waterview Estates,
L.P., a Texas Limited Partnership, and Woodhaven Homes, L.P., a Texas Limited
Partnership, Located in the Lake Arlington Neighborhood Empowerment Zone
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a five year Tax Abatement Agreement with Waterview
Estates, L.P., a Texas Limited Partnership, and Woodhaven Homes, L.P., a Texas Limited
Partnership, located in the Lake Arlington Neighborhood Empowerment Zone; and
2. Find that the statements set forth in the recitals of the attached Tax Abatement Agreement with
Waterview Estates, L.P., and Woodhaven Homes, L.P., are true and correct.
DISCUSSION:
Waterview Estates, L.P., and Woodhaven Homes, L.P., are the owners/developers of the 118
properties listed in Exhibit "A". This real property is located in the Lake Arlington NEZ and
Neighborhood Empowerment Reinvestment Zone (NERZ No. 16). Waterview Estates, L.P. and
Woodhaven Homes, L.P. have applied for a five-year municipal property tax abatement under the
NEZ Tax Abatement Policy and Basic Incentives (M&C G-14947), as amended. The NEZ Program
offers a five-year municipal property tax abatement on the increased value of improvements to the
qualified owner of any new construction within a NEZ. The Housing Department has reviewed the
application and certified that the property meets the eligibility criteria to receive NEZ municipal
property tax abatement.
Waterview Estates, L.P., and Woodhaven Homes, L.P., will invest a minimum of$15,200,000.00 to
construct 118 single-family homes in the Lake Arlington NEZ. In order for Woodhaven Homes, L.P.,
or any other developer or builder approved by the City Manager or his designee to qualify for the tax
abatement, they must construct homes with a minimum of 1200 square feet of living space with at
least three bedrooms, one and one-half baths and 70% mortared brick which will appraise for a
minimum of$100,000.00. A more detailed description of the homes to be constructed and sample
drawings are attached as Exhibit"B". The Agreement is attached as Exhibit"C".

M&C Review Page 2 of 3
Upon execution of the tax abatement agreement, the total assessed value of each home used for
calculating municipal property tax will be frozen for a five-year period, starting on the date the home is
sold to a homebuyer to be used as a primary residence, at the pre-improvement value as defined by
the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) on January 1, 2007, as follows:
Pre-improvement TAD Value of Improvements $ 0.00
Pre-improvement Estimated Value of Land $2,025.00
Total Pre-improvement Estimated Value $ 2025.00
The municipal property tax on the improved value is estimated at $550.00 per house, per year, for a
total of
$2,750.00 over the five-year period for each house. However, this estimate may be different from the
actual tax abatement value, which will be calculated based on the TAD appraised value of the
property.
The tax abatement agreement provides that the agreement may be assigned without subsequent City
Council approval to Woodhaven Homes, L.P., or another builder approved by the City Manager or his
designee or the developer's first mortgage, or to a homebuyer who will use the required
improvements as his/her primary residence, or to the homeowner's mortgagee. All other
assignments must be approved by City Council. The agreement also provides that the failure of the
owner to send the City notification of the sale of the required improvements and the executed
assignment of the agreement with the new owner within 30 days of the transfer of ownership of the
required improvements shall result in the automatic termination of the Agreement.
This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds.
