HEARING:
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 property for a total of $188,100 over the five-year period for the 55 homes. However, this
estimate may be different from the actual tax abatement value, which will be calculated based on the
TAD appraised value of the property. Upon the sale of the home, the agreement will be assigned to
the new owner, so long as the new owner meets all eligible criteria as stated in the NEZ Tax
Abatement Policy and Basic Incentives. The Tax Abatement Agreement provides that the agreement
may be assigned without subsequent City Council approval to Ridglea Place, LP's first mortgagee, or
to a homeowner who will use the required improvements as his/her primary residence or the
homeowner's mortgagee. All other assignments must be approved by the City Council.
Ridglea Place, LP is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 3.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds.
