ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
This ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
("Agreement") is made and entered into by and between the CITY OF FORT
WORTH ("City"), a home rule municipal corporation organized under the laws of the
State of Texas, and PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, L.P. ("Developer"), a Texas limited
partnership.
RECITALS
A. With the City's encouragement Developer has proposed to redevelop a
blighted site at the intersection of Hemphill Street and Magnolia Avenue into a high-
density mixed-use development that will include multi-story commercial/retail and
residential buildings and a pedestrian-friendly infrastructure as more specifically set forth
in this Agreement and as generally depicted in the site plan and renderings attached
hereto as Exhibit "A" (the "Development"). The Development is located within the
medical district area of the City on property identified in Exhibit "B" (the "Land").
Exhibits "A" and `B" are hereby made a part of this Agreement for all purposes.
B. The 2005 Comprehensive Plan, adopted by the City Council on February
22, 2005 pursuant to M&C G-14691 (the "Comprehensive Plan"), defines a mixed-use
growth center as a relatively small urbanized area that contains a concentration of jobs,
housing units, schools, parks and other public facilities, public transportation hubs and
pedestrian activities. Among the potential benefits of mixed-use growth centers cited by
the Comprehensive Plan are economic development; the development of multifamily
housing at appropriate locations; the protection of single family neighborhoods;
efficiency in the provision of public facilities and services; reduced reliance upon single-
occupancy vehicles; and the protection of the environment. Accordingly, the
Comprehensive Plan cites the promotion of mixed-use growth center development
patterns as a goal that the City should embrace. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the
medical district area of the City as a mixed-use growth center.
C. In 2001 the City Council selected Hemphill Street as one of eight
commercial corridors in the City where revitalization efforts were most needed and where
use of various federal and state grant funds could most sensibly be focused. In this vein,
the City Council identified the Development as one of two catalyst projects proposed for
Hemphill Street that could utilize existing system capacity, encourage mixed-use
development, establish a physical environment that would encourage public
transportation(including light rail transportation), foster job creation and provide housing
opportunities in the immediate area. Therefore, the City has requested that Developer
design the Development as a mixed-use commercial/retail and residential development
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, which will cause an increase in Developer's

between City of Fort Worth and Pennsylvania Avenue,LP. � +� � �
financial investment in the Development. In return, the City has agreed to provide
financial incentives to Developer in an effort to help cover such increased costs.
D. On March 28, 2002 the City nominated the Development to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") for an Economic
Development Initiative grant. On or about April 18, 2002 HUD notified the City that the
Development had been selected to receive $1 million in grant funds (the "EDI Grant
Funds") pursuant to that certain Economic Development Initiative Grant No. B-02-SP-
TX-0700.
E. The Comprehensive Plan recommends various financial incentive
programs, based on a model of custom-designed incentives and partnership programs
with private businesses on a case-by-case basis, in order to stimulate development and
redevelopment of land in growth centers. In addition, in accordance with Resolution No.
2704, adopted by the City Council on January 30, 2001, the City has established an
Economic Development Program pursuant to which the City will, on a case-by-case
basis, offer economic incentive packages authorized by Chapter 380 of the Texas Local
Government Code that include monetary loans and grants of public money, as well as the
provision of personnel and services of the City, to businesses and entities that the City
Council determines will promote state or local economic development and stimulate
business and commercial activity in the City in return for verifiable commitments from
such businesses or entities to cause specific infrastructure, employment and other public
benefits to be made or invested in the City(the"Program").
F. The City Council has determined that by entering into this Agreement, the
City's policy of encouraging appropriate mixed-use development in targeted commercial
corridors of the City will be met. In addition, the City Council has determined that the
Program is an appropriate means to achieve the construction of an appropriate mixed-use
development on the Land and that the potential economic benefits that will accrue to the
City as a result of such a mixed-use development are consistent with the City's economic
development objectives as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. This Agreement is
authorized by Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits and promises
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the City and Developer agree as follows:

whether the amount of money reportedly paid for an item of work was
actually paid. If City fails to timely deliver to Developer a written notice

expended by Developer for completion of such work, and which will
include all supporting invoices and other documents demonstrating that
such amounts were actually paid, including final lien waivers signed by
the general contractor (provided that Developer may bond over any
contested liens). Any EDI Grant Improvements that are to be dedicated to

Grant Improvements will be deemed complete for purposes of this Section
4.5.3. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.5, the City will issue a
final certificate of completion to Developer within thirty (30) calendar
days following receipt of Developer's final certificate that certifies that the
EDI Grant Improvements have been completed and that certifies the actual
Construction/Installation Costs expended by Developer for such EDI
Grant Improvements (the "EDI Certificate of Completion").
4.6. Construction Spending Reports.
4.6.1. For Phase I Commercial Improvements and EDI Grant
Improvements.
Within thirty (30) calendar days following the Phase I Completion
Date, Developer will provide the City with a report (the "Phase I
Construction Spending Report") in a form reasonably acceptable to the
City that specifically outlines (i) the actual Construction/Installation Costs
expended for the Phase I Commercial Improvements and the EDI Grant
Improvements and (ii) the actual Construction/Installation Costs expended

Improvements. The Phase I Construction Spending Report shall include
supporting invoices and other documents necessary to demonstrate that all
amounts reported were actually paid, including, without limitation, final
lien waivers signed by Developer's general contractor (provided that
Developer may bond over any contested liens), and will be subject to

Developer stipulate and agree that the supporting documentation provided
by Developer to, and approved by, Developer's construction lender with
respect to the construction financing of the Phase I Commercial
Improvements shall be deemed adequate documentation for verification of
the Phase I Construction Spending Report.
4.6.2. Declaration of Phase I Certified Costs.

City will have ten(10) calendar days to notify Developer in writing of any
objection that it may have as to the nature of the work or the amount of
money that Developer has reportedly paid for any line item of work
Page 8
Economic and Community Development Agreement
between City of Fort Worth and Pennsylvania Avenue,L.P.
comprising Phase I Commercial Improvements. Any such notice shall
specify in reasonable detail the basis or grounds of any such reasonable
objection and the grounds for any such objection shall be limited,
respectively, to a reasonable determination by the City that the nature of
the work does not qualify as part of the Phase I Commercial
Improvements, as outlined in Exhibit "A" or to a reasonable inquiry and
investigation as to whether the amount of money reportedly paid for an
item of work was actually paid. If Developer disagrees with any final
objection of the City, the parties shall diligently work in good faith to
resolve the dispute. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute within thirty
(30) calendar days, Developer may request that the dispute be submitted
for resolution through mediation, as that term is defined in Section
154.023 of the Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code, in accordance
with procedures reasonably agreed to by the parties, which request shall
not be unreasonably denied or withheld by the City. If the City does not
object to any portion of the Phase I Construction Spending Report within
ten (10) calendar days following receipt, or once any objection is resolved
in accordance with this Section 4.6.2, the City will issue a written
certificate to Developer confirming the Construction/Installation Costs
expended by Developer for the Phase I Commercial Improvements, (the
"Phase I Certified Costs").
5. PAYMENT OF PHASE I GRANT BY CITY.
5.1. Amount of Grant.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that
Developer is not in material breach of this Agreement at the time, within thirty
(30) calendar days following the Phase I Completion Date (or one hundred twenty
(120) calendar days following the Phase I Completion Date if Section 5.3
applies), and provided that Developer has complied with all requirements of the
Guaranty attached hereto as Exhibit "D", which is hereby made a part of this
Agreement for all purposes, the City will pay Developer a Program Grant in an
amount equal to the lesser of(i) the actual Construction/Installation Costs of the
EDI Grant Improvements, as reflected in the Certificate of Completion issued by
the City in accordance with Section 4.5.3 of this Agreement; (ii) ten percent
(10%) of the Phase I Certified Costs, as outlined and defined in Section 4.6.2, or
(iii) $1 million (the "Phase I Grant"), and additionally subject to reduction in
accordance with Section 5.2. It is understood and agreed that if the Phase II
Completion Date has not also occurred by such time, the City's payment of the
Phase I Grant will specifically be made on account of the City's good faith
reliance upon Developer's representation that the Phase II Residential
Improvements will be completed by the Phase II Completion Deadline in
accordance with this Agreement, which representation is backed by the Guaranty
attached hereto as Exhibit "D".
Page 9
Economic and Community Development Agreement
between City of Fort Worth and Pennsylvania Avenue,L.P.
5.2. Reduction for Failure to Meet Construction Spendine Commitments.
The amount of the Phase I Grant payable by the City shall be reduced by
the aggregate degree to which Developer failed to meet its construction spending
commitments with Fort Worth Companies and Fort Worth Certified M/WBE
Companies, as follows:
5.2.1. Construction Spending with Fort Worth Companies.
If Developer failed to meet its commitment to spend at least thirty
percent (30%) of actual, aggregate Construction/Installation Costs for the
Phase I Commercial Improvements and the EDI Grant Improvements,
regardless of the total amount of Construction/Installation Costs so
expended, with contractors that are Fort Worth Companies, as required by
Section 4.2.1, then the Phase I Grant shall be reduced by a percentage
calculated by taking the difference between (i) one hundred percent
(100%) and (ii) a fraction, to be expressed as a percentage, where (a) the
numerator is the amount of Construction/Installation Costs actually spent
with Fort Worth Companies for the Phase I Commercial Improvements
and the EDI Grant Improvements and (b) the denominator is the total
amount of Construction/Installation Costs actually spent on the Phase I
Commercial Improvements and the EDI Grant Improvements, multiplied
by .30 (30%). For example, if Developer spent $10 million in
Construction/Installation Costs for the Phase I Commercial Improvements
and the EDI Grant Improvements and spent only $2.7 million in such
Construction/Installation Costs with Fort Worth Companies, then the
amount of the Phase I Grant payable by the City under this Agreement
would be reduced by ten percent (10%), which is 100% minus [$2.7
million divided by {$10 million x .301, or $2.7 million/$3 million, or
90%].
5.2.2. Construction Spending with Fort Worth Certified M/WBE
Companies.
If Developer failed to meet its commitment to spend at least
twenty-five percent (25%) of actual, aggregate Construction/Installation
Costs for the Phase I Commercial Improvements and the EDI Grant
Improvements, regardless of the total amount of Construction/Installation
Costs so expended, with contractors that are Fort Worth Certified M/WBE
Companies, as required by Section 4.2.2, then the Phase I Grant shall be
reduced by a percentage calculated by taking the difference between (i)
one hundred percent (100%) and (ii) a fraction, to be expressed as a
percentage, where (a) the numerator is the amount of such
Construction/Installation Costs actually spent with Fort Worth Certified
M/WBE Companies for the Phase I Commercial Improvements and the
.�
Page 10
Economic and Community Development Agreement
between City of Fort Worth and Pennsylvania Avenue,L.P.
1---DI Grant Improvements and (b) the denominator is the total amount of
Construction/Installation Costs actually spent on the Phase I Commercial
Improvements and the EDI Grant Improvements, multiplied by .25 (25%).
For example, if Developer spent $10 million in Construction/Installation
Costs for the Phase I Commercial Improvements and the EDI Grant
Improvements and spent only $2 million in such Construction/Installation
Costs with Fort Worth Certified M/WBE Companies, then the amount of
the Phase I Grant payable by the City under this Agreement would be
reduced by twenty percent (20%), which is 100% minus [$2 million
divided by {$10 million x .251, or$2 million/$2.5 million, or 80%].
5.2.3. Anreeate Nature of the Reductions.
The reductions calculated in accordance with Sections 5.2.1 and
5.2.2 are cumulative in nature, so that in the examples above the amount
of the Phase I Grant payable by the City under this Agreement would be
reduced by a total of thirty (30%) (the 10% reduction for the failure to
meet the construction spending commitment with Fort Worth Companies
pursuant to Section 4.2.1 plus the 20% reduction for the failure to meet the
construction spending commitment with Fort Worth Certified M/WBE
Companies pursuant to Section 4.2.2).
5.2.4. No Offsets.
A deficiency in attainment of one of the construction spending
commitments set forth in Section 4.21 and 4.2.2 may not be offset by
exceeding the other commitment. In other words, if Developer exceeded
its commitment for construction spending with Fort Worth Companies, as
outlined in Section 4.2.1, by ten percent (10%) but failed to meet its
commitment for construction spending with Fort Worth Certified M/WBE
Companies, as outlined in Section 4.2.2, by ten percent (10%), the amount
of the Phase I Grant payable by the City would still be reduced by ten
percent (10%) on account of Developer's failure to meet its commitment
for construction spending with Fort Worth Certified M/WBE Companies.
5.3. Election of City to Pay Phase I Grant from EDI Grant Funds.
Developer understands and agrees that the City shall have the option to
elect to pay the Phase I Grant directly from EDI Grant Funds received from HUD
rather than from the City's general fund as a Program Grant. The City may elect
such option by providing written notice thereof to Developer as soon as
practicable (but in no event later than 30 days) following the Phase I Completion
Date. If the City makes such election, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, the City shall have up to one hundred twenty (120) calendar days
following the Phase I Completion Date to pay the Phase I Grant directly from EDI
Grant Funds. At the City's request, Developer shall cooperate and work with the
Page 11
Economic and Community Development Agreement
between City of Fort Worth and Pennsylvania Avenue,L.P.
City diligently and in good faith to assist the City in obtaining the EDI Grant
Funds from HUD. In the event that the City is unable to obtain the EDI Grant
Funds from HUD for any reason or no reason other than a material breach by
Developer under this Agreement, City shall pay the Phase I Grant to Developer as
a Program Grant no later than the date that is thirty (30) days following the
expiration of the 120 day time period to pay the Phase I Grant directly from EDI
Grant Funds.
6. DEVELOPER'S OBLIGATIONS REGARDING THE PHASE II
RESIDENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS.
In addition to the general requirements set forth in Section 8 in this Agreement
and all other obligations of Developer under this Agreement, Developer shall comply

authorized designee shall have, and Developer shall provide, access to the Land
and the Development to allow inspection of any work on the Phase II Residential
Improvements in order to ascertain Developer's compliance with the provisions of
this Agreement. Developer shall cooperate fully with the City during any such
inspection.
6.4. Construction Spendinp- Report for Phase II Residential
Improvements.

Page 12
Economic and Community Development Agreement
between City of Fort Worth and Pennsylvania Avenue,L.P.
Developer for the Phase II Residential Improvements. The Phase II Construction
Spending Report shall include supporting invoices and other documents necessary
to demonstrate that all amounts reported were actually paid, including, without
limitation, final lien waivers signed by Developer's general contractor (provided
that Developer may bond over any contested liens), and will be subject to
verification by the City.
6.5. Grant of Easement of Park for Public Use; Maintenance.
Developer shall construct the Park on or before the Phase II Completion
Deadline. Upon completion of the Park, Developer shall grant the City a
perpetual public access easement that allows the general public to use the Park at

non-profit corporation (the "Association"), or such other successor association
responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Park pursuant to those
certain Declaration of Easements, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions of
Magnolia Green (as amended to date, the "CREs") and reasonably acceptable to
the City; provided, however, Developer or the Association may temporarily
restrict public access for a limited duration not to exceed forty-eight (48) hours
for purposes of special events, activities or functions without the approval or
consent of the City. Developer shall also install signage reasonably acceptable to
the City that indicates that the Park is open to the general public. Developer shall
establish and enact, or shall cause the Association to establish and enact, a plan
for regular maintenance of the Park at no cost to the City in accordance with the
CREs.
7. FAILURE TO COMPLETE PHASE II RESIDENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS.
As indicated in Section 5.1 of this Agreement, Developer understands and agrees
that the City's payment of the Phase I Grant at any time prior to the Phase II Completion
Date is specifically conditioned on Developer's representation that the Phase II
Residential Improvements will be completed by the Phase II Completion Deadline in
accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the
event that the Phase II Completion Date has not occurred by the Phase II Completion
Deadline and, as a result, the City either does not receive the EDI Grant Funds or is
required to repay the EDI Grant Funds, Developer shall, within thirty (30) calendar days
following receipt of written notification from the City, reimburse the City an amount of
cash equal to the Phase I Grant actually paid by the City to Developer, which obligation
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. In the event that
Developer fails to so reimburse the City, the City may exercise all rights under the
Guaranty attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and any other rights or remedies it may have at
law or in equity.

Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 5/3/2005
DATE: Tuesday, May 03, 2005
LOG NAME: 17MAGGREENEDA REFERENCE NO.: C-20709
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Economic and Community Development Program Agreement with
Pennsylvania Avenue, L.P. for the Magnolia Green Development Project on the Southwest Corner
of West Rosedale Street and Hemphill Street
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Authorize the City Manager to execute the attached Economic and Community Development Program
Agreement with Pennsylvania Avenue, L.P. (the Developer) for the Magnolia Green Development Project,
subject to subsequent non-material revisions agreed to by the parties; and
2) Find that the terms and conditions of the Agreement, as outlined below, constitute a custom-designed
economic development program, as recommended by the 2004 Comprehensive Plan and authorized by
Chapter 380 of the Local Government Code.
DISCUSSION:
The Magnolia Green Development is a mixed-use transit oriented development project situated on the
southwest corner of West Rosedale Street and Hemphill Street. The total project consists of 23,000 square
feet of retail, 127,000 square feet of office, a public park, structured parking garage and at least 16
residential units, estimated at $30 million of new investment. The project will be carried out in several
phases, including the Phase I Commercial Improvements (discussed below) and Phase II Residential
Improvements. The Phase II Residential Improvements consist of 16 residential units, an essential
component of the mixed-use character of the project. On or about April 18, 2002, the United States Housing
and Urban Development Department (HUD) notified the City that the Magnolia Green Project had been
selected to receive $1 million in grant funds (the EDI Grant Funds) pursuant to that certain Economic
Development Initiative Grant No. B-02-SP-TX-0700 (the EDI Grant) and in support of the mixed-use
development concept.
The Developer commits to complete two commercial buildings on the site, totaling at least 75,000 square
feet (Phase I Commercial Improvements) and certain public infrastructure supporting the Phase I
Commercial Improvements by October 31, 2005. In return for constructing the Phase I Commercial
Improvements, the Developer shall be reimbursed for qualifying infrastructure costs up to $1 million based
on a spending ratio of one grant dollar ($1.00) for every ten dollars ($10.00) of private investment in the
Phase I Commercial Improvements. The maximum grant benefit possible for Phase I is not to exceed $1
million, made possible through a minimum private investment of $10 million and subject to fulfilling its
construction spending commitments below. This grant is authorized by Chapter 380 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
In order to obtain the maximum benefit of the EDI Grant under this Agreement, the Developer will be
required to (i) spend at least 30% of total construction costs for Phase I Commercial Improvements with
Fort Worth companies; (ii) spend 25% of total construction costs for Phase I Commercial Improvements

with Fort Worth Certified M/WBE companies, which commitments have been endorsed by the City's
Minority and Women Business Enterprise Ad Hoc Committee; and, (iii) make best efforts to provide
employment opportunities for at least 100 Fort Worth residents. Should the Developer fail to meet the
construction spending commitments, the amount of grant funds the Developer would be eligible to receive
shall be reduced by the percentage in which the Developer did not achieve the construction spending
commitment.
In order for the City's grant to Developer to be reimbursed from EDI Grant Funds, the Developer will be
required to complete the Phase II Residential Improvements by July 31, 2007. If the Developer fails to
complete the Phase II Residential Improvements by July 31, 2007, the Developer will repay the City an
amount equal to the amount of the City's grant pursuant to the Guaranty attached to the Agreement.
The development is located in Council District 9 and is located in the Magnolia Village Neighborhood
Empowerment Zone.
