Zone Number Three, City of Fort Worth, Texas (the Downtown TIF). Pursuant to

located within one tax increment reinvestment zone, the Downtown TIF. But for
designation as a reinvestment zone, development of the Property would not occur solely
through private investment in the reasonably foreseeable future.

EXHIBIT C-3
Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Three
City of Fort Worth, Texas
(Downtown TIF)
Amended Project and Financing Plans
September 16, 2013
I. Background and Introduction
Tax increment financing (TIF) is an economic development tool authorized by Chapter 311 of the
Texas Tax Code by which local governments can publicly finance needed structural and
infrastructure improvements in order to promote new development or redevelopment within a
defined area called a reinvestment zone. TIF districts may be established by municipalities or
counties as long as an area meets certain conditions, as set forth in Exhibit "A."
A TIF district allows for the tax increment generated from appreciating property values within the
area to be dedicated to public improvements within the same area. At the time an area is
designated as a reinvestment zone, the existing total taxable value of real property in the zone is
identified and designated as the "base value". As the total assessed value of property within a
TIF district increases over time, an increase in the taxes collected from the additional value is
captured and placed into a special fund, which is used to finance public improvements; only taxes
collected from the increased taxable value within the TIF district are placed into the special fund.
All other taxes collected from the base value continue to flow to the local taxing entities within the
district. The difference between total property value and base value is the property value
increment. Taxes collected on that difference in value is the "tax increment."
Participating taxing entities may deposit all, a predetermined portion, or none of the incremental
taxes in a designated TIF district fund for the purpose of financing the planning, design,
construction, or acquisition of public improvements within the TIF district. All taxing units that levy
taxes within the zone will continue to receive tax revenues derived from the base value, whether
or not the taxing jurisdiction chooses to participate in the TIF.
TIF districts have a set term. The TIF district will end on the earlier of (1) the termination date
included in the ordinance that established the zone; or (2) the date on which all project costs have
been paid in full. Any revenues remaining in the TIF district fund after the dissolution of the TIF
will be returned to each participating taxing unit in a pro rata fashion.
Each TIF district is overseen by a Board of Directors composed of five to 15 members appointed
by the local taxing jurisdictions. Since Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Three (the
Downtown TIF) was created due to a petition submitted to the City of Fort Worth by the owners
of property constituting at least 50 percent of the appraised value of the property in the area,
the TIF Board's composition is mandated by state law. The state representative and state senator
representing the area may each make an appointment to the Board. Each participating taxing
jurisdiction may appoint one member, and any remaining seats up to nine are filled by
appointments made by the Fort Worth City Council. The TIF board of directors oversees
improvements to the area and may choose to dedicate TIF district funds to reimburse developers
for public improvements.
At the time of publication, the City of Fort Worth has eleven active TIF districts: Speedway,
Downtown, Southside, Riverfront, North Tarrant Parkway, Lancaster, Trinity River Vision, Lone Star,
East Berry Renaissance, Woodhaven, and Trinity Lakes.
Downtown TIF
Amended Project and Financing Plan Page 1 of 7
II. Project Plan
Boundary Description. Existing Uses, and Proposed Uses
The Zone was created on December 15, 1995 by the Fort Worth City Council in order to attract
investment and redevelopment of property in downtown Fort Worth. The area covers just over
400 acres and is generally bounded to the north by the Trinity River, east by the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF), south by Lancaster Avenue, Calhoun Street 7rh Street, Burnett
Street, and 3rd Street, and west by Henderson Street and Weatherford Street. A map of the TIF
district and a legal description of the property can be found in Exhibits "B" and "C," respectively.
The Zone is composed of a variety of uses, including office space (public and private), residential
(rental apartments and owner-occupied and tenant-occupied condominiums and townhomes),
retail, educational, and religious. The Downtown has developed into the City's premier mixed-use
district, where thousands of employees, residents, tourists and other visitors spend their time,
energy and money. The TIF District is enhanced by proximity to several recently renovated public
parks, including the Fort Worth Water Gardens, Burnett Park and General Worth Square. The
TIF district also benefits from its inclusion in Fort Worth Public Improvement District Number One, a
$2 million annual effort that provides maintenance, security, marketing and research services to
Downtown. A map of the existing uses of the Zone can be found in Exhibit "D."
Downtown is the oldest neighborhood in Fort Worth, encompassing the site of the original Army
outpost and Pioneer's Rest Cemetery. The area sits atop the bluffs of the Trinity River and
extends southward towards Lancaster Avenue. Although much of the topography is favorable to
development, much of the underground infrastructure is outdated and undersized for modern
development requirements. Public right-of-way improvements vary in quality and are particularly
poor in part of the core and several outlying areas. Additionally, surface parking still occupies a
large part of the area within the Zone. While development standards and design guidelines
have improved the public spaces around newer developments, including parking facilities, many
corridors and parking lots still have challenging streetscapes that detract from the pedestrian
experience.
Creation of the TIF district was a recommendation of the 1993 Downtown Strategic Action Plan, a
document sponsored and adopted by Downtown Fort Worth, Inc., the City of Fort Worth, and the
Fort Worth Transportation Authority. The plan resulted from a two-year process that involved
substantial input and review from citizens, government officials, and Downtown stakeholders. The
plan guides center city growth and development and helps ensure that Downtown reflects Fort
Worth's unique culture, warmth, character and values.
Community leaders realized that Downtown is critical to the overall economic health and image of
greater Fort Worth. The Downtown Plan envisioned that a TIF district would be needed to finance
several major Downtown projects including public parking and connecting systems, streetscape
improvements, and historic preservation.
The Plan recognized that these public infrastructure investments would be needed in order for
Downtown to succeed in attracting private investment. The costs of the required infrastructure
exceeded the City's normal funding amounts and the improvements were needed in advance of
the City's normal funding cycle. While private financing was available for creation of the Tandy
Outlet Mall, expansion of the Sundance Square retail area, and construction of the new Bass
Downtown TIF
Amended Project and Financing Plan Page 2 of 7
Performance Hall, infrastructure in the form of parking facilities, pedestrian connections, and
subway system upgrades was seen as crucial to the success of these private investments.
Over time, some of the original TIF projects were completed and others were made moot by
changing development patterns and priorities in downtown. For example, the Tandy subway
system was decommissioned when RadioShack Corporation moved its headquarters to a new
location and sold the Tandy Center complex. The Fort Worth Transportation Authority with
funding assistance from Public Improvement District Number One, implemented a trolley circulator
that provides the north-south connecting system envisioned in the original TIF plan. The Santa Fe
Freight House was leased in order to build a public market, but has since been repurposed as
classrooms and offices of the UTA Fort Worth Center. Various streetscape and infrastructure
improvements have been made through the TIF District, but this work is ongoing and infrastructure
needs still exist throughout Downtown.
The 2003 update of the Downtown Strategic Action Plan recognized the major investments that
had taken place over the preceding decade, much of it owing to projects undertaken with TIF
support. The Downtown TIF has been instrumental in historic preservation (the Ashton Hotel);
streetscape improvements (Cassidy Corner, Pecan Place, Chase Bank, Trinity Bluff); creation of a
public market, then a higher education center (Santa Fe Freight House—UTA Fort Worth Center);
environmental remediation (The Tower); and garage leases for free public parking supporting
Bass Hall, the Central Library and Downtown's retail establishments, restaurants, and arts and
entertainment venues.
The TIF Board of Directors appointed an Advisory Committee to receive a consulting study
executed by the Leland Group in 2006 and make recommendations on updating the Downtown
TIF Project and Financing Plan. The Advisory Committee's recommendations built on the TIF's
successes and reflect the priorities contained in the 2003 Downtown Strategic Action Plan. The
inclusion of affordable housing in the TIF Project Plan was recommended by the TIF Board and
adopted by City Council in April 2012. This change resulted in the TIF's participation in the
redevelopment of Hunter Plaza, a planned mixed-income project operated by the Fort Worth
Housing Authority.
Plan 2023, the new Downtown Strategic Action Plan, also contained recommendations relevant to
the objectives of the Downtown TIF. Beyond ongoing infrastructure and transportation needs, the
Plan also identifies needed park improvements, greater residential density and new primary and
secondary schools that will result in greater vitality in Downtown.
Purl2ose and Results of the Downtown TIF
The Downtown TIF's successes thus far can be evaluated against the original TIF Project Plan's
stated purposes.
The goal of attracting investment and redevelopment that would not occur without TIF-financed
infrastructure is exemplified by The Tower and numerous subsequent for-sale residential
developments; revitalization of the Tandy Center, now City Place; the Chase Bank office building,
parking garage and retail; the historic renovated Ashton Hotel; the UTA Fort Worth Center; and
enhanced streetscape throughout the Trinity Bluff area of Downtown.
Use of tax increment to fund required public infrastructure is represented by the 2,826 free
evening and weekend parking spaces available to the general public, in addition to daytime,
Downtown TIF
Amended Project and Financing Plan Page 3 of 7
Bass Hall patron and Central Library patron parking; streetscape improvements in the Downtown
core, Pecan Place and Trinity Bluff areas; utility relocation in Trinity Bluff; and environmental
remediation at the Tower.
The goal of generating new anchors for Downtown to create redevelopment momentum and tax
base that survives the TIF is exemplified by the strong office and residential markets, and
specifically by City Place, the Tower, Trinity Bluff, and the strengthened retail core.
The TIF District has created net financial gain to local governments since the first years of its
existence, and substantial financial gains after 2006. Each year since then, TIF District
substantially exceeded its $5 million annual cap and has returned more than $47 million of tax
increment to the participating local governments. Although cessation of the Fort Worth
Independent School District's participation in the TIF reduced the overall tax increment by more
than $4 million per year after 2013,the TIF is still expected to generate more than $8.5 million in
tax increment in 2014 and beyond.
To capture the "metropolitan visitor," more tourists and conventions, the TIF has been used to
support free evening and weekend parking, making Downtown a regional destination. In
addition, the clear success of Bass Hall and the Ashton Hotel were made possible in part by TIF
participation.
By 2010, the TIF had helped Downtown exceed the goal of having 1% of Fort Worth's residential
inventory (3,172 of the city's total 295,283 housing units) and had created a quality urban
environment capable of attracting a competitive share of corporate office, government office and
other commercial developments. The impressive growth of restaurant and retail sales in Sundance
Square, aided by TIF parking leases, is a testament to Downtown's vitality and its enhanced role
in our city's quality of life.
Proposed Zoning Changes
The majority of the Zone is located within the City's Central Business District Zoning classification
as depicted in Exhibit "E." Development within this area is subject to review by the City's
Downtown Design Review Board.
Future zoning changes are anticipated for property within the Zone currently zoned Medium
Industrial. Over time, many of these properties are likely to be rezoned Central Business District
as industrial uses are phased out and property owners realize the benefits of high-density mixed-
use zoning.
Relocation Method for Displaced Persons
It is anticipated that no persons shall be displaced as a result of implementing these Project and
Financing Plans.

° Denotes completed projects; * Denotes new projects
The Zone is administered by Downtown Fort Worth, Inc., a 501(c) (6) nonprofit corporation, with
assistance from the City of Fort Worth Housing and Economic Development Department.
Development is guided by the objectives in the Downtown Fort Worth Strategic Action Plan as
revised every 10 years and adopted by the Fort Worth City Council as part of the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
Economic Feasibility Statement, Projections, and Methods of Financing
City staff has determined that the Project and Financing Plan is economically feasible per the tax
increment financing projections included in Exhibit "F". It is anticipated the City of Fort Worth,
Tarrant County, Tarrant County College District, Tarrant County Hospital District, and the Tarrant
Regional Water District will continue to participate in the TIF district in order to have TIF funds
available for TIF Project reimbursement. These financial projections also show the TIF Project
Costs are reimbursable over the course of the term as the total increment generated exceeds the
total TIF Project Costs.
The TIF district Board of Directors will approve eligible TIF Project Costs on a case-by-case basis.
Approved TIF Project Costs will be reimbursable to the developer upon completion, as set forth in
each Development Agreement.
Bond Indebtedness
No bond indebtedness is expected to be incurred with respect to any of the project
improvements.
Estimated Timeframe
TIF projects are expected to be completed during the lifetime of the Zone. It is not anticipated
the Zone's term will be extended.
Current Taxable Values
The base value (1995) of property in the Zone is $217,893,395 (TIF 3) and $104,547,242 (TIF
3A) for a total base value of $322,440,637. The current value of property in the zone is
$687,404,750 (TIF 3) and $209,877,987 (TIF 3A) for a total current value of $897,282,737.
The Zone has grown by 178 percent since its creation in 1995.
Term
The term of the Zone began on January 1, 1995 and will expire on December 31, 2025,
beginning with the tax increment calculated by the 1995 tax appraisal and ending with the tax
increment calculated by the 2025 tax appraisal.

CODE: G TYPE: CONSENT HEARING: YES
SUBJECT: Conduct a Public Hearing and Adopt Ordinance Amending the Project and Financing Plan
for Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Three, City of Fort Worth, Texas, Downtown
TIF (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing concerning an amendment to the Project and Financing Plan for Tax
Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Three, City of Fort Worth, Texas, Downtown TIF, as set forth
in Exhibit A of the attached Ordinance, to afford an opportunity for interested persons to speak for or
against the proposed Amendment, the boundaries of the Downtown TIF district or the concept of Tax
Increment Financing; and
2. Close the public hearing and adopt the attached ordinance approving the amended Project and
Financing Plan for the Downtown TIF district.
DISCUSSION:
The Downtown TIF Project and Financing Plan (Plan) was initially approved by the Downtown TIF
board of directors on September 17, 1998 and subsequently approved by City Council on October 6,
1998 (Ordinance No. 13603).
The Plan has been amended by the TIF board, as approved by the City Council, on two previous
occasions:
1. February 25, 2003, (Ordinance No. 15464) included the addition of environmental
remediation
projects as an allowable project cost, as approved by the TIF board of directors on February
17,
2003; and
2. April 17, 2012, (Ordinance No. 20169-04-2012) allowed the TIF district to support the
development of affordable housing, as approved by the TIF board of directors on March 22,
2012.
On September 16, 2013, the TIF board of directors voted to amend the Plan to add projects that
would allow the TIF district to continue and expand revitalization efforts in Downtown Fort Worth by
raising the total projects funded by the TIF district from the amount of$72 million to $100 million. Tax
increment deposits from local governments will also be subject to a $5 million annual cap. Downtown
TIF projects can be broken down into fourteen categories: (1) historic preservation, (2) environmental
remediation, (3) utility relocation and removal, (4) streetscape improvements, (5) Santa Fe Freight
House redevelopment, (6) Sundance Square project, (7) parking garage leases, (8) affordable
housing, (9) residential density and parking, (10) infrastructure and transportation improvements, (11)

retail fagade improvement matching grants, (12) School for Science, Technology, Engineering and
Math (STEM), (13) signage and (14) administration. Details of specific projects can be found in the
amended Plan. As new investments are attracted and revitalization is encouraged, the area will
continue to become an economically viable, mixed-use destination for all to enjoy.
Before the amended Project and Financing Plans can take effect, state law requires the City Council
approve the amended Plan by Ordinance after holding a public hearing at which interested persons
may speak for or against the proposed Amendment, the boundaries of the Downtown TIF district or
the concept of Tax Increment Financing.
In accordance with state law, notice of the public hearing was published in a newspaper having
general circulation in the City at least seven days prior to the date of the hearing.
The projects contained within the Project and Financing Plan are located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on
City funds.
