Minor Page 2 of 114, NEZ Tax Abatement with Park Ridge Multi-Family,L.P. Approved by M&C C-26660,February 2,2014 A variations, and more substantial variations if approved in writing by both of the parties to this Agreement, in the Required Improvements from the description provided in the Application for Tax Abatement shall not constitute an Event of Default, as defined in Section 4.1,provided that the conditions in the first sentence of this Section 1.1 are met and the Required Improvements are used for the purposes and in the manner described in Exhibit "4". For purposes of this Agreement, "Construction Costs" shall mean site development costs; hard construction costs; contractor fees; the costs of supplies and materials; engineering fees; architectural fees; and other professional (including legal and the costs associated with the financing of the Required Improvements), development and permitting fees expended directly in connection with the Required Improvements. The City recognizes that Owner will request bids and proposals from various contractors in order to obtain the lowest reasonable price for the cost of the Required Improvements. In the event that bids and proposals for the Required Improvements are below$33,685,000.00 in Construction Costs for work substantially the same as that provided in Exhibit"4"and otherwise described in this Agreement,the City will meet with Owner to negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement so that Owner is not in default for its failure to expend at least $33,685,000.00 in Construction Costs, with the understanding that the City's staff will recommend, but cannot guarantee, approval of such amendment by the City Council. The final site plan shall be in substantially the same form as the preliminary site plan. Minor variations, and more substantial variations if approved in writing by both parties to this Agreement, in the Required Improvements from the description provided in the Application for Tax Abatement shall not constitute an Event of Default, as defined in Section 4.1,provided that the conditions in the first sentence of this Section 1.1 are met and the Required Improvements are used for the purposes and in the manner described in Exhibit"411 . 1.2. Completion Date of Required Improvements. Owner certifies that the Required Improvements will be completed within thirty- six (36) months from the date of Council approval.

For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure shall mean an event beyond Owner's reasonable control,including,without limitation,acts of God, fires, strikes,national disasters,wars,riots and material or labor restrictions,but shall not include construction delays caused due to purely financial matters, such as, without limitation, delays in the obtaining of adequate financing. 13.

If a violation report or notice is issued by the governmental unit,the Owner must provide to City either a statement summarizing the violation report or notice or a copy of the violation report or notice, and in addition, the Owner must state whether the violation has been corrected.

Termination at Will. If the City and Owner mutually determine that the development or use of the Premises or the anticipated Required Improvements are no longer appropriate or feasible, or that a higher or better use is preferable, the City and Owner may terminate this Agreement in a written format that is signed by both parties. In this event, (i) if the Term has commenced, the Term shall expire as of the effective date of the termination of this Agreement;(ii)there shall be no recapture of any taxes previously abated;and ('iii)neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder. 4.5 Sexually Oriented Business& Liquor Stores or Package Stores. a.

M&C Review CITY CCKIIIQL AGENDA F0-- 1l COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 2/4/2014 DATE: 2/4/2014 REFERENCE C-26660 LOG NAME: 17BERKELEY PHASE NO.: II CODE: C TYPE: NOW PUBLIC NO CONSENT HEARING: SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of a Five-Year Tax Abatement Agreement with Park Ridge Multi- Family L.P.,for Phase 11 of the Berkeley Apartments Located at 2521 Frazier Avenue in the Berry/University Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize a fire-year Tax Abatement Agreement for the Construction of a Multi-Family Development located at 2521 Frazier Avenue in the Berry/University Neighborhood Empowerment Zone, in accordance with the Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Tax Abatement Policy and Basic Incentives with a reduction of the set aside of units for persons with incomes at or below 80 percent of the Area Median Income from 20 percent to 10 percent with Park Ridge Multi-Family L.P. DISCUSSION: In 2006, Lincoln Properties d/b/a Park Ridge Multi-Family L.P., submitted an application for Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ) Incentives, including a tax abatement for the Berkeley Apartments located at 2001 Park Hill Drive (Project). The Project was for the phased development of 716 units,406 units in Phase I and 310 units in Phase 11 with a total investment of$78 million. As part of the NEZ application for Phase I, the developer requested a five-year tax abatement with a reduction of the set aside of units for persons with incomes at or below 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI)from 20 percent, as required in the NEZ Policy, to 10 percent due to the cost of demolition of the former apartment complex, associated environmental remediation and infrastructure improvements for the entire site. City Council approved the tax abatement with the reduction on July 18, 2006 (M&C C-21576) and Phase I began construction soon after. Phase II was originally scheduled for construction in 2010 but was delayed due to economic conditions. The developer has now submitted an application for NEZ incentives for Phase 11 of the Berkeley Apartments, including tax abatement with the same request for 10 percent of the units set aside at or below 80 percent of AMI because of the high development costs listed above. The Property Owner plans to invest an estimated amount of$33,685,000.00 to construct a 310 Unit Apartment Complex (Project). The Project will be located at 2521 Frazier Avenue described as Block 1, Lot 2R, Park Ridge Addition, an Addition to the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County,Texas according to the plat recorded under Instrument No. D209089550 of the Real Property Records of Tarrant County, in the Berry/University NEZ. The proposed elevation and map location are attached as Exhibit A. The Housing and Economic Development Department reviewed the application and certified that the Project met the eligibility criteria to receive a Municipal Property Tax Abatement and recommends approval with the reduction in the set aside units. bttp://apps.chmeLorg/council_►ackedmc_mview.asp?IIk19447&counciWate=2/4/2014[02105/2014 9:38:58 AM] M&C Review Upon execution of the Agreement, 100 percent of the assessed value of the improvements used for calculating municipal property tax will be frozen for a period of five-years starting January 2015 at the estimated pre-improvement value, as defined by the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD), for the property as follows: Pre-Improvement TAD Value of Improvements I $ 0.00 I Pre-Improvement Estimated Value of Land -1� $730.241.00 r Total Pre-Improvement Estimated Value i $730,241.00 The Municipal Property Tax Abatement on the improved value of the Project after construction is estimated at $288,006.75 per year for a total amount of$1,440,033.75 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 Tax Abatement Agreement may be assigned to an affiliate without the consent of the City Council or to a new owner with City Council approval, only if the new owner meets all of the eligibility criteria as stated in the NEZ Tax Abatement Policy and Basic Incentives. This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9, Mapsco 76U.

DISCUSSION: In 2006, Lincoln Properties d/b/a Park Ridge Multi-Family L.P., submitted an application for Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ) Incentives, including a tax abatement for the Berkeley Apartments located at 2001 Park Hill Drive (Project). The Project was for the phased development of 716 units, 406 units in Phase I and 310 units in Phase II with a total investment of$78 million. As part of the NEZ application for Phase 1, the developer requested a five-year tax abatement with a reduction of the set aside of units for persons with incomes at or below 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI)from 20 percent, as required in the NEZ Policy, to 10 percent due to the cost of demolition of the former apartment complex, associated environmental remediation and infrastructure improvements for the entire site. City Council approved the tax abatement with the reduction on July 18, 2006 (MBC C-21576) and Phase I began construction soon after. Phase II was originally scheduled for construction in 2010 but was delayed due to economic conditions. The developer has now submitted an application for NEZ incentives for Phase II of the Berkeley Apartments, including tax abatement with the same request for 10 percent of the units set aside at or below 80 percent of AMI because of the high development costs listed above. The Property Owner plans to invest an estimated amount of$33,685,000.00 to construct a*310 Unit Apartment Complex (Project). The Project will be located at 2521 Frazier Avenue described as Block 1, Lot 2R, Park Ridge Addition, an Addition to the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County,Texas according to the plat recorded under Instrument No. D209089550 of the Real Property Records of Tarrant County, in the Berry/University NEZ. The proposed elevation and map location are attached as Exhibit A. The Housing and Economic Development Department reviewed the application and certified that the Project met the eligibility criteria to receive a Municipal Property Tax Abatement and recommends approval with the reduction in the set aside units. http://apps.crwnet.orgfcouncil_pacleet(mc_review.asQ7IID=19447&councildete=?14/2014[0210512014 9:38:58 AM] ti M&C Review Upon execution of the Agreement, 100 percent of the assessed value of the improvements used for calculating municipal property tax will be frozen for a period of five-years starting January 2015 at the estimated pre-improvement value, as defined by the Tarrant Appraisal District(TAD), for the property as follows: Pre-Improvement TAD Value of Improvements I $ 0.00 Pre-Improvement Estimated Value of Land $730.241.00 Total Pre-Improvement Estimated Value $730,241.00 The Municipal Property Tax Abatement on the improved value of the Project after construction is estimated at$288,006.75 per year for a total amount of$1,440,033.75 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 Tax Abatement Agreement may be assigned to an affiliate without the consent of the City Council or to a new owner with City Council approval, only if the new owner meets all of the eligibility criteria as stated in the NEZ Tax Abatement Policy and Basic Incentives. This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9, Mapsco 76U. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that this action will not increase the total appropriations of City funds.
