RECITALS
City and Developer hereby agree that the following statements are true and correct and
constitute the basis upon which City and Developer have entered into this Agreement:

Action Grant Agreement with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development
Grant("UDAG")No.B-79-AA-48-0013 for use in acquiring land and constructing a parking garage
located under General Worth Park in downtown Fort Worth(City Secretary Contract No. 10610)(the

City has leased this parking garage under that certain Lease Agreement(Parking Garage Lease)dated
on or about May 22, 1980 by and between City and Hunt Hotel/Fort Worth, Ltd. (City Secretary
Contract No. 11085,as amended and assigned). Rental revenues from this lease are deemed"Grant
Revenues"under the UDAG Grant Agreement(the"UDAG Grant Fund Proceeds"). The UDAG
Grant Agreement allows the City to use the UDAG Grant Fund Proceeds for community or economic
development activities eligible for assistance under Title I of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974,Pub. L.No.93-383,as amended(the"Act").
B. The purpose of the Urban Village Storefront/Facade Improvement Program("Facade
Improvement Program")is to encourage local businesses to improve storefronts/facades in eligible
areas, and to promote commercial revitalization and economic development. The Fagade
Improvement Program is funded with revenues generated from the City-owned parking garage
located under General Worth Square originally funded with Urban Development Action Grant
("UDAG") funds. The Fagade Improvement Program provides $1.00 for every $3.00 spent up to
$30,000.00.
Developer owns or is authorized to undertake the facade improvements to a building located
on certain real property in the City commonly described as 1200 South Main Street,Fort Worth TX
76104. The building and the proposed fagade improvements, along with other improvements, are
described on the attached Exhibit"Al attached hereto and hereby made a part of this Agreement for
all purposes (collectively the "project"). A rendering that identifies the proposed facade
improvements to the building and the estimated cost of the improvements is set forth in Exhibit"B",
attached hereto and hereby made a part of this Agreement for all purposes(the"Improvements").
C. The 2014 Comprehensive Plan, adopted by the City Council under Ordinance No.
21164-03-2014 (the "Comprehensive Plan"), recommends that the City focus on revitalization of

of the principal means of revitalization of the Central City will be the redevelopment of distressed
commercial corridors, especially in the vicinity of urban villages,which are highly urbanized places
that have a concentration of jobs,housing units,commercial uses,public spaces,public transportation
and pedestrian activity,and are typically located along priority commercial corridors. The project is
located in the South Main Urban Village, which, in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, the
City Council has been selected as one of 10 areas in the City where revitalization efforts are most
needed and where the use of public incentives can most sensibly be focused.

for assistance under Title I of the Act. The City Council has determined that activities such as the
Improvements will benefit the City and constitute a positive step in revitalization of the Central City
and the designated Urban Village, in particular. The City Council has also determined that, by

COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 5/14/2013 -Resolution No.4204-05-2013
DATE: Tuesday,May 14,2013 REFERENCE NO.: G-17892
LOG NAME: 17FIP POLICY AMENDMENT
SUBJECT:
Adopt Resolution Amending the Policy for the Urban Village
Storefront/Facade Improvement Program to Change the Appellate Body from the
Urban Design Commission to the Community Development Council(COUNCIL
DISTRICTS 2,5, 8 and 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution
amending the policy for the Urban Village Storefront/Facade Improvement
Program to change the appellate body from the Urban Design Commission to
the Community Development Council.
DISCUSSION:
On February 12,2013,the City Council approved Resolution No.4181-02-2013
approving the creation of an Urban Village Storefront/Fa ade Improvement
Program(Program)and adopting a policy for the Program(M&C G-17804). The
policy provides that appeals of denials of funding under the Program be
heard by the Urban Design Commission. However, Staff has been advised that
the Urban Design Commission should not serve as the appellate body for the
Program because it is already part of the design approval process and
hearing appeals would conflict with its role under the Zoning
Ordinance. Since the Program is funded with Urban Development Action Grant
funds,which must be spent in a similar manner as Community Development
Block Grant(CDBG)funds in CDBG-eligible areas, Staff proposed that the
Community Development Council(CDC)hear appeals under the
Program. Staff's proposal was based upon the CDC's familiarity with CDBG
and other federal requirements.
Staff made a presentation about the Program and its appeals process to the
CDC at its April 10,2013 meeting and the CDC agreed to hear appeals of
denials of funding under the Program. Since the CDC has agreed to serve as
the appellate body for the Program, Staff recommends amending the policy.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 5, 8 and 9.
