Unless otherwise specified herein, Owner shall be in default of this Agreement if(i)Owner fails to construct the Required Improvements as defined in Section 1.1.; (ii) ad valorem real property taxes with respect to the Premises or the Required Improvements, or its ad valorem taxes with respect to the tangible personal property located on the Premises, become delinquent and Owner does not timely and properly follow the legal procedures for protest and/or contest of any such ad valorem real property or tangible personal property taxes; (iii)OWNER DOES NOT USE THE PREMISES AS THE OWNERS PRIMARY RESIDENCE ONCE THE ABATEMENT BEGINS; or (iv) OWNER DOES NOT COMPLY WITH CHAPTER 7 AND APPENDIX B OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH (collectively, each an "Event of Default"). 4.2. Notice to Cure. Subject to Section 5, if the City determines that an Event of Default has occurred, the City shall provide a written notice to Owner that describes the nature of the Event of Default.

NON- PUBLIC CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT HEARING: NO SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of a Five-Year Tax Abatement Agreement with Manuel Gonzalez- JarQuin and Ma. Teresa Lopez-Monzon for the Rehabilitation of a Single-Family House on Property Located at 1304 Cloverdale Drive in the Highland Hills Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (COUNCIL DISTRICT 8) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a five-year Tax Abatement Agreement with Manuel Gonzalez-JarQuin and Ma. Teresa Lopez-Monzon for the rehabilitation of a single-family house on property located at 1304 Cloverdale Drive in the Highland Hills Neighborhood Empowerment Zone, in accordance with the Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Tax Abatement Policy and Basic Incentives. DISCUSSION: Manuel Gonzalez-JarQuin and Ma. Teresa Lopez-Monzon (Property Owners) are the owners of the property described as Lot 2, Block 2,Highland Hills Addition, an Addition to the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas, according to the Plat recorded in Volume 388-3, Page 118, of the Plat Records of Tarrant County, Texas, at 1304 Cloverdale Drive, Fort Worth, Texas. The property is located within the Highland Hills Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ). The Property Owner plans to invest an estimated $20,800.00 to rehabilitate an approximately 1,200 square foot single-family residence (Project). The Project will be used as the primary residence of the owners. The Neighborhood Services Department reviewed the application and certified that the Property Owner and Project met the eligibility criteria to receive a NEZ municipal property tax abatement. The NEZ Basic Incentives includes a five-year municipal property tax abatement on the increased value of improvements to the qualified owner of any new construction or rehabilitation within the NEZ. Upon execution of the Agreement, the total assessed value of the improvements used for calculating municipal property tax will be frozen for a period of five years starting January 2017 at the estimated pre-improvement value, as defined by the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) in May 2016, for the property as follows: Pre-Improvement TAD Value of Improvements $ 61,599.00 Pre-Improvement Estimated Value of Land $ 10.000.00 Total Pre-Improvement Estimated Value $ 71,599.00 http://apps.cAvnet.org/council_packet/mc_review.asp?ID=22843&councildate=9/20/2016[09/21/2016 11:42:23 AM] M&C Review The municipal property tax on the improved value of the Project after construction is estimated at $178.00 per year for a total of$890.00 over the five-year period. However, this estimate may differ from the actual tax abatement value, which will be calculated based on the Tarrant Appraisal District appraised value of the property. In the event of a sale of this property, the NEZ Tax Abatement Agreement may be assigned to a new owner's first mortgagee or a new homeowner as a primary residence. All other assignments must be approved by the City Council. This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity. This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8, Mapsco TAR-91 U. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that approval of the above recommendations will have no material effect on the Fiscal Year 2016 Budget. While no current year impact is anticipated from this action, upon approval reduced revenues will be included in the long-term forecast associated with years 2017 - 2021.
