COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 11/18/2003
� — - -
DATE: Tuesday, November 18, 2003
LOG NAME: 05BLVD BUILDERS REFERENCE NO.: C-19864
SUBJECT:
Approval of Tax Abatement Agreement with Ridglea Place, LP for 55 Real Estate Properties
Located in the Ridglea Village/Como Neighborhood Empowerment Zone
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve a five-year Municipal Property Tax Abatement for each of 55 Real properties listed in Exhibit
"A", owned by Ridglea Place, LP and located in the Ridglea Village/Como Neighborhood Empowerment
Zone (NEZ) for the development of townhomes; and
2. Find that the statements set forth in the recitals of the attached Tax Abatement Agreement with Ridglea
Place, LP are true and correct; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a separate Tax Abatement Agreement with Ridglea Place,
LP for each of the properties listed on Exhibit "A" in accordance with the NEZ Tax Abatement Policy and
Basic Incentives.
DISCUSSION:
Ridglea Place, LP is the owner of the 55 properties listed in Exhibit "A". The real properties are located in
the Ridglea Village/Como NEZ and Neighborhood Empowerment Reinvestment Zone No. 2. Ridglea Place,
LP 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 and M&C G-13662, as amended). The Housing Department
reviewed the application and certified that the properties meet the eligibility criteria to receive NEZ municipal
property tax abatement. 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.
Ridglea Place, LP will invest, at a minimum, $6,215,000 to construct 55 town homes in the Ridglea/Como
NEZ. In order for Ridglea Place, LP to qualify for the tax abatement, Ridglea Place, LP must construct the
townhomes with a minimum of 1700 square feet that will appraise for $140,000. A more detailed description
of the homes to be constructed is attached as Exhibit "B". The form of 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, 2004, at the estimated pre-
improvement value as defined by the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) on January 1, 2003, for each one of
the properties as follows:
Pre-improvement TAD Value of Improvements $0
Pre-improvement Estimated Value of Land $17,040
Total Pre-improvement Estimated Value $17,040
The municipal property tax on the improved value of the homes is estimated at $684 per year on each
