LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, FOR THE RAMEY PLACE ADDITION IN THE STOP SIX
NEIGHBORHOOD EMPOWERMENT ZONE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the application of Ramey Avenue, L.P. and KB Home Lone Star, L.P. for a five-year
Municipal Property Tax Abatement for the Ramey Place Addition in the Stop Six Neighborhood
Empowerment Zone (NEZ); and
2. Find that the statements set forth in the recitals of the attached Tax Abatement Agreement with
Ramey Avenue, L.P., a Texas Limited Partnership, and KB Home Lone Star, L.P., are true and
correct; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Tax Abatement Agreement with Ramey Avenue, L.P.,
and KB Home Lone Star, L.P., in accordance with the NEZ Basic Incentives.
DISCUSSION:
Ramey Avenue, L.P., a Texas Limited Partnership, and KB Home Lone Star, L.P., a Texas Limited
Partnership, are the owner/developer of the Ramey Place Addition located off the 5900 block of Ramey
Avenue and Cass Street in the Stop Six NEZ and Neighborhood Empowerment Reinvestment Zone
(NERZ No. 1). Ramey Avenue, L.P. and KB Home Lone Star, L.P. applied for a five-year municipal
property tax abatement under the NEZ Basic Incentives (M&C G-13208R dated June 5, 2001, M&C G-
13580 dated April 2, 2002, and M&C G-13662 dated July 23, 2002, as amended). The Housing
Department has reviewed the application and certified that the property meets the eligibility criteria to
receive NEZ municipal property tax abatement. The NEZ Basic Incentives offers a five-year municipal
property tax abatement of the increased value of improvements to the owner of any new home
constructed within a NEZ.
KB Home Lone Star, L.P. will invest $6,200,000 to construct sixty (60) single-family homes, not
including the model home, in the Ramey Place Addition. The addresses, types and site plan of the
proposed development are attached to this report.
Upon execution of the tax abatement agreement, the total assessed values of each home in the Ramey
Place Addition 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, 2003, as follows:
