Find that the statements set forth in the recitals of the attached Tax Abatement Agreement (the agreement) with Glen & Ricci Mace are true and correct; and 2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a 5 year Tax Abatement Agreement with Glen & Ricci Mace, for the property at 1319 6th Avenue in the Magnolia Village Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ) in accordance with the NEZ Tax Abatement Policy and Basic Incentives. DISCUSSION: Glen & Ricci Mace are the owners of the property at 1319 6th Avenue, (Johnson Subdivision; Block 1 Lot 27) which is located in the Magnolia Village NEZ and Neighborhood Empowerment Reinvestment Zone (NERZ No. 5). Mr. & Mrs. Mace have applied for a five-year municipal property tax abatement under the NEZ Tax Abatement Policy and Basic Incentives (M&C G-13208R, M&C G-13580, M&C G-13662, M&C C- 19551 and M&C G-14327), as amended. The NEZ Basic Incentives offers a five-year municipal property tax abatement on the increased value of improvements to the qualified owner of any new home constructed 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. The owner plans to invest a total of $89,000 to construct a single family home in the Magnolia Village NEZ. The property is also located in the Fairmount Southside Historic District. The Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission approved the construction plan at its meeting dated July 12, 2004. A copy of the approval letter from the Commission is attached as Exhibit "A." A description of the home to be constructed is attached as Exhibit"B." The Tax Abatement Agreement is attached as Exhibit "C." Upon execution of the Agreement, the total assessed value of the home used for calculating municipal property tax will be frozen for a five-year period, starting on January 1, 2006, at the pre-improvement value as defined by the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) on January 1, 2005 as follows: Pre-construction TAD value of improvements $ 0 Pre-contstruction TAD value of land $ 8,000 Total pre-improvement estimated value $ 8,000 The municipal property tax on the improved value of the home after its construction is estimated at $538.00, per year, for a total of $2,694.00 over the five-year period. However, this estimate may be http://www.cfwnet.org/council_packet/Reports/mc_print.asp 2/13/2006 Page 2 of 2 different from the actual tax abatement value, which will be calculated based on the TAD appraised value of the property.

All other assignments must be approved by the City Council. This property is located in Council District 9.
