COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 1217/2010 - Res. No. 3947.17-2010 & Ord. No. 19463-12- '
- 2010
DATE: Tuesday, December 07, 2010 REFERENCE NO.: G-17137
LOG NAME: 17NEZMAGNOLIAREVISE
SUBJECT:
Conduct a Public Hearing, Adopt a Resolution Designating the Magnolia Village Area as a Neighborhood
Empowerment Zone and Adopt an Ordinance for Boundary Change and Designating the Magnolia Village
Area as a Neighborhood Empowerment Zone and Fort Worth Neighborhood Empowerment Reinvestment
Zone No. 5R (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached Resolution to designate the revised Magnolia Village area as a Neighborhood
Empowerment Zone; and
2. Conduct a public hearing concerning the designation of the revised Magnolia Village area as Fort
Worth Neighborhood Empowerment Reinvestment Zone No. 5R; and
3. Adopt an ordinance to designate the Magnolia Village area as Fort Worth Neighborhood
Empowerment Reinvestment Zone No. 5R pursuant to the Texas Property Redevelopment and Tax
Abatement Act, Tax Code, Chapter 312.
DISCUSSION:
On November 26, 2002, the City Council approved M&C G-13814, which adopted Resolution No. 2893 to
designate the Magnolia Village area as a Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ) and adopted
Ordinance No. 15343 which designated Fort Worth Neighborhood Empowerment Reinvestment Zone
(FWNERZ) No. 5.
Staff recommends amending the boundary to include property on South Hemphill in order to stimulate
development in the Hemphill Corridor. The revised Magnolia Village NEZ area was presented to the
Housing and Economic Development Committee at the June 8, 2010 meeting and the Housing and
Economic Development Department was directed to move forward.
The proposed revised Magnolia Village NEZ has a population of 6,453 persons and an area of 1.5 square
miles. The proposed revised Magnolia Village NEZ meets the following designation requirements under
the City's NEZ policy:
• Promotes economic development;
• Has a total area of no more than 1.5 square miles;
Logname: 17NEZMAGNOLIAREVISE Page I of 2
• The proposed revised Magnolia Village NEZ area is 100 percent within the Central City and 95
percent within the Community Development Block Grant eligible areas; and
• Meets criteria for Reinvestment Zone designation in that the area is reasonably likely as a result of
the designation to contribute to the retention or expansion of primary employment or to attract major
investment in the zone that would be a benefit to the area and that would contribute to the economic
development of the City.
The revised Magnolia Village NEZ area, therefore, meets all the requirements for NEZ designation
One of the incentives a municipality can provide in a NEZ according to Chapter 378 of the Texas Local
Government Code is an abatement of municipal property taxes for properties in the NEZ. In order to
accomplish this, the revised Magnolia Village area would need to be designated as a reinvestment zone.
The Texas Property Redevelopment and Tax Abatement Act(the Act) requires a public hearing. Notice of
the public hearing was (1) delivered to the governing body of each affected taxing unit, and (2) published
in the newspaper at least seven days prior to the public meeting. The Act requires the property receiving
an abatement to be located in a reinvestment or enterprise zone.
The proposed area meets the criteria for the designation of a reinvestment zone because the area is
reasonably likely, as a result of the designation, to contribute to the retention or expansion of primary
employment, or to attract major investment in the zone that would be a benefit to the property and
contribute to the economic development of the municipality. Further, future improvements in the zone will
be a benefit to the City after any tax abatement agreements have expired. The designation of a
reinvestment zone expires after five years and may be renewed for periods not to exceed five years.
The current revised Magnolia Village NEZ area is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
