AMENDMENT NO. I TO
CITY OF FORT WORTH AND TARRANT COUNTY HOSPITAL
DISTRICT AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN
TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER FOUR,
CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS
(SOUTHSIDE TIF)
This AMENDMENT NO. I TO AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN TAX
INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER FOUR, CITY OF FORT WORTH,
TEXAS ("Amendment") is entered into by and between the CITY OF FORT WORTH,
TEXAS (the "City") and TARRANT COUNTY HOSPITAL DISTRICT, TEXAS (the
"Hospital District").
The City and the Hospital District hereby agree that the following statements are true and
correct and constitute a basis upon which the City and the Hospital District have entered into this

A. On November 25, 1997, the City Council of the City ("City Council") adopted
City Ordinance No. 13259 designating certain real property in the Near Southside neighborhood
as Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Four, City of Fort Worth, Texas (the "TIF
District"). The TIF District is informally known as the "Southside TIF."
B. On or about April 11, 2003, the City and Hospital District entered into an
agreement under which the County agreed to deposit one hundred percent (100%) of the Hospital
District's Tax Increment into the TIF District's Tax Increment Fund ("Participation
Agreement"), as specifically provided in that Participation Agreement. The Participation
Agreement is a public document on file in the City Secretary's Office as City Secretary Contract
No. 28524.

August 30, 1999 and approved by the City Council on August 31, 1999 pursuant to Ordinance
No. 13919, respectively (the "Plan").
D. Article III of the Participation Agreement specifies that if the Project Plan is
amended, the Hospital District shall have the right to suspend deposits of tax increment into the
TIF District's Tax Increment Fund until the amendment is approved by the governing body of
the Hospital District as an amendment to the Participation Agreement.
E. On November 1, 2012, the Plan was amended by the Board pursuant to Board
Resolution No. 2012-1, as approved by the City Council on December 11, 2012, pursuant to
Ordinance No. 20536-12-2012. The Project Plan, as so amended, is referred to hereinafter as the
"Amended Project Plan."

Amended and Restated Project and Financing Plan
Tax Increment Financing
Tax increment financing(TIF)is an economic development tool used by local and county governments to
finance public improvements within a defined geographic area. Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code
governs tax increment financing.
Local and county governments may make an area eligible for tax increment financing by designating a
reinvestment zone. In order for an area to be designated a reinvestment zone, the area must: (1)
substantially arrest or impair the sound growth of the entity creating the zone, retard the provision of
housing accommodations, or constitute an economic or social liability and be a menace to the public
health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present condition; (2) be predominately open, and because of
obsolete platting, deterioration of structure or site improvements or other factors, substantially impair or
arrest the sound growth of the municipality;or(3)be in a federally assisted new community located in the
municipality or adjacent to such property.
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. As the 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 new 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.
Senate Bill 576, designed to help make TIF districts a more effective economic development tool, was
approved by the Texas Legislature in 2009. This bill authorizes cities to use TIF funds to make
infrastructure improvements outside of the district boundaries, if those improvements directly benefit
the district. The bill also allows historic preservation efforts inside the TIF by authorizing cities to grant
historic preservation incentives without requiring historic property owners to be "carved out" of the
district.
The amount of increment that is captured in the special fund is dependent upon the participation rate of
the local taxing entities. A local taxing entity may choose to participate by dedicating a portion of its tax
increment to the special fund. The participation rate of an entity is determined in an inter-local agreement
between the entity and the TIF board.
Each TIF district is overseen by a Board of Directors, between five and 15 members, appointed by the
local taxing jurisdictions. This Board of Directors may consider potential projects that fall within the TIF
district's Project and Financing Plan. In addition to following the rules set forth in Chapter 311 of the
Texas Tax Code, the Board of Directors must also abide by the City's Tax Increment Financing Policy
(Exhibit A),which may be updated from time to time.
Background
The Southside TIF was created on November 25, 1997 by Fort Worth City Council in order to promote
the revitalization of Fort Worth's Near Southside neighborhood and medical district after property values
in the Near Southside fell by eight percent between 1994 and 1997. Section one of the Preliminary
Project and Financing Plan entitled "What's Tax Increment Financing and Why Use It for Fort Worth
South?" Exhibit B provides a case for redevelopment in the area and shows why the use of TIF was
feasible.
The Southside TIF extends over 1,278 acres east of Interstate 35 to Kentucky Avenue and is generally
bounded to the north by Interstate 30 and Vickery Boulevard and to the south by Allen Street and West
Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Four(Southside TIF) 2
Amended and Restated Project and Financing Plan
Arlington Avenue. A map of the Southside TIF can be found in Exhibit B. Metes and bounds can be
found immediately following in Exhibit D.
When the Southside TIF was established, it was composed of 1,330 property owners over 2,770 parcels,
with a base value of approximately $231 million, largely coincident with the Fort Worth Southside
Development District area. Nearly nine percent of the property within the TIF is residential.
There are a number of tax-exempt properties including Cook Children's Hospital, Harris Methodist
Hospital, and the JPS Health Network. In addition, 3.3 percent of properties in the Southside TIF area
have been excluded from the TIF due to historical tax exemptions. Over 100 structures have been
selected or deemed eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
The Southside TIF is managed by Fort Worth South, Inc., a 501 (c)(4) nonprofit corporation, and is
guided by the principles stated in the Fort Worth Southside Development District Conceptual Plan as
adopted by Fort Worth City Council in May 1995 and the Near Southside Development Standards and
Guidelines as adopted by Fort Worth City Council in November 2007. The Southside Medical District
Strategic Redevelopment Plan was sponsored by the City of Fort Worth, the Fort Worth Transportation
Authority,and a number of private businesses located within the Southside area. This two-year planning
initiative profiled the history, trends, opportunities, and challenges of the neighborhood and established
the strategy for implementing the revitalization plan, including the establishment of the Southside TIF.
The Near Southside Development Standards and Guidelines were,adopted to implement the land uses and
development patterns proposed in the Conceptual Plan and the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan.
The Project and Financing Plan was adopted by Fort Worth City Council on August 31, 1999 and was
updated on January 14,2004. The TIF is set to expire on December 31,2022.
New public investments within the Southside TIF are funded using available cash increment. The
Southside TIF has not used public debt instruments to finance improvements, nor does it expect to in the
future.
Existing Uses and Conditions
The Near Southside is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Fort Worth, Texas and has experienced
significant changes to its original character.
The natural topography of the area is generally flat, with no major land forms or drainage patterns that
would provide significant constraints to development. The physical attributes are influenced almost
exclusively by historical development patterns and human-related factors.
Currently,the Southside TIF has a wide variety of land uses:
• Major medical institutions and associated professional support including emergency rooms, full-
service hospitals and medical centers, high-rise medical facilities, medical offices, and medical
supply establishments.
• Retail is generally limited to restaurants and small shops in one-or two-story buildings,generally
located along major arterials. There is a significant absence of grocery stores and department
stores.
• Most offices are generally related to the nearby medical institutions and range from small office
buildings to larger,mid-rise establishments.
Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Four(Southside TIF) 3
Amended and Restated Project and Financing Plan
• Recent revitalization along Magnolia Avenue has resulted in the development of some retail and
restaurant uses along the corridor.
• Light industrial and warehouse uses are concentrated along the northern and eastern sides of the
Southside TIF.
• Single-family residences cluster in four zones:(1)south of Rosedale Street, (2)north of Rosedale
Street,(3)east of the BNSF and UP railroad tracks,and(4)east of Interstate 35.
• Multi-family residences are scattered throughout the area and range in size.
• Both public and semi-public community facilities exist in the area, promoting education,
entertainment, recreation, safety, and spirituality. Public schools include De Zavala Elementary
School, Lilly B. Clayton Elementary School, Trimble Tech High School, Van Zandt-Guinn
Elementary School,and the Young Women's Leadership Academy.
• Dedicated park land and recreational facilities are limited to Fire Station Park, located north of
Allen Street and west of Hemphill Street; Fairmount Park, located in the Fairmount Historic
District;and Watts Park,located north of Leuda Street and west of St. Louis Avenue.
• Vacant and undeveloped land is dispersed throughout the Southside TIF. Vacant parcels tend to
be fewer in areas south and immediately adjacent to the hospitals and greater in the industrial and
single-family areas to the north and the east.
Visual Characteristics
The Southside TIF encompasses a great variety in landscape and visual characteristics:
• Boasts a significant view of the downtown Fort Worth skyline.
• "Landmark" buildings are limited to high-rise medical facilities including Cook Children's
Hospital, Harris Methodist Hospital, the JPS Health Network, and Plaza Medical, as well as a
number of historic structures.
• Significant landscaped areas are limited to areas within the campuses of medical institutions and
on a limited number of tree-lined streets in older residential neighborhoods.
• Most arterial streets consist of conflicting architectural character, building setbacks, land uses,
and streetscape treatment,resulting in a lack of quality street environments and urban form.
Transportation
The Southside TIF includes a framework for roadway, parking facilities, and public transportation that
offer both challenges and opportunities for the future.
Public transportation is provided by the Fort Worth Transportation Authority buses and MITS vehicles.
The Trinity Railway Express (TRE) serves the T&P Terminal from the east to west, moving passengers
between Fort Worth and Dallas. Most recently, The T and the City are pursuing the TEX Rail commuter
rail project, from southwest Fort Worth to DFW Airport, which would include a proposed "Medical
District" station just west of the Baylor All Saints campus. An implementation of a mass transit
circulator system in the Near Southside of either a rubber wheel bus or Modern streetcar would serve key
population centers and destinations,while promoting economic development and sustainability.
Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Four(Southside TIF) 4
Amended and Restated Project and Financing Plan
Parking in the northwest quadrant of the area is considered adequate, but future development and growth
in the medical field will require additional parking structures. Parking inadequacies currently exist near
the JPS Health Network,along Magnolia Avenue,and at various office and restaurant locations within the
area.
Development Concepts(New Standards and Guidelines)
In November 2007,the City adopted the Near Southside Standards and Guidelines to provide a consistent
mixed-use urban design standard for new development in the area.
The following principles serve as the focus for these standards and guidelines:
• Promote a pedestrian-oriented urban form;
• Maximize connectivity and access;
• Require excellence in the design of the public realm (building on Fort Worth's history of civic
art)and of buildings that front public spaces;
• Promote the preservation and creation of distinctive neighborhoods that provide diverse urban
housing options;
• Support existing Near Southside businesses;
• Encourage adaptive reuse and support the preservation of historically significant buildings;
• Encourage creativity,architectural diversity,and exceptional design;
• Promote sustainable development that minimizes negative impacts on natural resources;and
• Encourage the integration of public art into public and private development.
A complete copy of the Near Southside Standards and Guidelines can be found on the web by visiting
www.forlworthsouth.org.
Projects
Southside TIF projects can be broken down into nine categories: (1) administration, (2) business
development and retail, (3) parking structures, (4) neighborhood parks and plazas, (5) residential, (6)
schools,(7)signage,(8)streetscapes,and(9)transportation and infrastructure improvements.
1. Administration—estimated$4,700,000(to date$2,106,511)
a. Expenses in this category reflect the costs incurred by Fort Worth South, Inc. to manage
and administer activities within the Southside TIF.
2. Business Development and Retail—estimated$9,000,000(to date$],680,607)
a. As the number of Southside TIF residents increases, the need for retail services will also
grow. The development of office buildings, grocery stores, mixed-use projects,
restaurants, and shopping centers is a goal shared by the TIF district and potential
investors. Many of these projects include public improvements to medical offices or
mixed-use developments.
Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Four(Southside TIF) 5
Amended and Restated Project and Financing Plan
3. Parking Structures—esrimared$15,000,000(Io dare$4,742,166)
a. In September 2004, the Southside TIF board approved the construction and subsequent
lease of the Magnolia Green parking structure. Additional parking structures, whether
newly constructed or accessible through a Shared Parking Agreement,may be utilized to
encourage denser development and support public access to commercial, residential,and
retail developments at future mixed-use or transit-oriented developments.
4. Neighborhood Parks and Plazas--esrimaied$850,000(lo dale$829,949)
a. The Southside TIF has replaced and repaired nearly 50 benches along West Magnolia
Avenue, prompted the development of the Newby Park Pavilion, and funded the
development of Watts Park, creating a green haven to Near Southside residents and
visitors. The Southside TIF does not intend to fund any future park developments.
5. Residential—esrimared$5,000,000(io dare$1,248,086)
a. Although more than 30,000 people work in the Medical District, only two percent of
Medical District employees reside there. A survey in 2001 confirmed that 17 percent of
workers would live in the Near Southside if suitable accommodations were available.
6. Schools—esrimaied S15,000,000(ro dare$9,070,696)
a. The quality of educational facilities and the areas immediately adjacent to these schools
demand to be improved. TIF funds can be used to supplement Fort Worth ISD's capital
spending to reach this goal. The Southside TIF makes annual payments to Fort Worth
ISD to assist educational facilities within the district.
7. Signage—esrimared$250,000(ro dare$23,300)
a. $150,000 has been allocated to employ city-wide arterial directional and informational
signage, as suggested in the Linkages Study. Recently, it has also been determined that
additional signage is needed to identify public parking options, services, and other
destinations throughout the Near Southside community.
8. Streetscapes—esrimaied$35,000,000(io dare$9,763,059)
a. The availability of benches and bike racks, improved sidewalks, and tree coverage
promote the Southside TIF as a pedestrian-friendly community. Some examples of
potential streetscape initiatives include:
i. South Main between Vickery and Magnolia Avenue;
ii. Magnolia Avenue between Hemphill Street and South Main Street;
iii. West Vickery Boulevard between Adams Street and South Main Street;
iv. Evans Avenue between Rosedale Street and Allen Avenue;and
v. Oleander Street between Hemphill Street and Oak Grove Street.
9. Transportation and Infrastructure Improvements—esrimared$5,000,000(Io dare$0)
a. TIF participation will ensure needed infrastructure projects will not be delayed due to
funding obstacles. The redevelopment of the South Main corridor between Vickery
Boulevard and Magnolia Avenue is a priority of Fort Worth South, Inc. Additionally,
street repair and reconstruction between West Vickery Boulevard and Pennsylvania
Avenue,such as:
i. College Avenue;
ii. West Peter Smith;
iii. Lipscomb Street
b. A mass transit circulator system of either a rubber wheel bus or Modern streetcar system
would serve key population centers and destinations, while promoting economic
Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Four(Southside TIF) 6
Amended and Restated Project and Financing Plan
development and sustainability. A mass transit circulator system in the Near Southside
area would connect the Medical District with downtown Fort Worth, closing the gap
between the two business districts created by Interstate 30.
Project Funding Status Worksheets are used to estimate when costs to the TIF will be incurred. An up-to-
date Project Funding Status Worksheet can be found in Exhibit E.
Relocation
The project plan anticipates that there will be no relocation of residences or businesses existing in the
project development area of the reinvestment zone when development activities commence. If actions by
the Southside TIF result in relocation of any persons, the Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation
Assistance Plan for the City of Fort Worth will govern their relocation.
While the need for relocation is not envisioned, it is acknowledged that in the event such relocation
becomes necessary in carrying out the public improvements funded by the Southside TIF,such expenses
will be the obligation of the TIF. The relocation program is administered by the City's Housing and
Economic Development Department. Should such a need arise; persons may appeal their cases through
the established appeals process.
Financing
The Near Southside is located immediately south of downtown Fort Worth. It is home to Tarrant
County's largest concentration of hospitals and out-patient medical services and serves as the area's
second largest employment center. The area has a diverse array of activities, ranging from manufacturing
and distribution to residences and schools.
Despite its location at the crossroads of regional freeways and the heart of the dramatic growth of the
health care industry,taxable real property values in the area have not yet shown resurgence since 1994 of
either the City of Fort Worth or Tarrant County. Between 1994 and 1997, taxable values of the City of
Fort Worth and Tarrant County rose 16 and 23 percent, respectively. At the same time, Southside TIF
values fell eight percent. As stated previously, the Southside TIF also includes a significant amount of
vacant land,which serves as another measure of the depressed market and readiness for redevelopment.
As previously stated, the amount of increment that is captured in the special fund is dependent upon the
participation rate of the local taxing entities. A local taxing entity may choose to participate by dedicating
a portion of its tax increment to the special fund. The participation rate of an entity is determined in an
inter-local agreement between the entity and the TIF board. Currently, all taxing entities (City of Fort
Worth, Fort Worth ISD, Tarrant County, Tarrant County College District, Tarrant County Hospital
District, and Tarrant Regional Water District)participate in the Southside TIF at 100 percent. 50 percent
of Fort Worth LSD's contributions are dedicated to the improvement of educational facilities within the
TIF. Participation agreements may be amended as determined by the taxing jurisdiction. It is expected
that the participation agreements will be amended as follows: Tarrant County, Tarrant County College
District, and Tarrant County Hospital District will participate in the Southside TIF at 50 percent starting
in 2013 through the end of 2022. Tarrant Regional Water District will participate in the Southside TIF at
100 percent through the end of 2022. The City of Fort Worth will participate in the Southside TIF at 90
percent starting in 2013 through the end of 2022. The Fort Worth ISD will participate in the Southside
TIF at 100 percent with 50 percent of the Fort Worth ISD contributions dedicated to the improvement of
educational facilities within the Southside TIF boundary up to a maximum contribution of$30 million.
It is expected that the Southside TIF will continue to enter into agreements with private developers to
secure reimbursements for public infrastructure cost associated with their private development projects. It
Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Four(Southside TIF) 7
Amended and Restated Project and Financing Plan
is also anticipated that TIF funds will be spent as they are available to fund the goals and projects of this
Project and Financing Plan.
During the formation of the Southside TIF,it was not anticipated that cash flow from the TIF would repay
municipal bonds sold for the purpose of constructing new public infrastructure. This is still the case
today,although other financing mechanisms and partnerships may be explored if existing cash revenue is
insufficient to fund a critical project that faces unique time constraints or other pressing circumstances.
Projections
To date, the Southside TIF has performed incredibly well, as can be seen by in the most recent Tarrant
Appraisal District(TAD)report in Exhibit F. Since 2000,taxable property value percentage growth has
ranged from a negative three percent in 2010 for a TAD adjusted property value to a high of over fourteen
percent annually. Due to this success, rather than estimating two percent annual taxable property value
growth for future years, these projections take into account three percent annual taxable property value
growth.
An up-to-date table reflecting increment projections through the sunset year of 2022 can be found in
Exhibit G.
Conclusion
The Near Southside neighborhood is one of Fort Worth's greatest assets. As new investment is attracted
and revitalization is encouraged, the area will continue to become an economically viable, mixed-use,
central city neighborhood for all to enjoy. By partnering together,the City of Fort Worth and Fort Worth
South,Inc.will work to maximize the development potential of the Southside TIF and ensure that the area
grows to become a wonderful place to live,work,and play.

Policy, Guidelines and Procedures for
Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones (TIFs)
December 2009
City of Fort Worth
Housing and Economic Development Department
Section I. General Guidelines:
1. Each TIF application must demonstrate:
a. "but for" the creation of a TIF, quality development is not likely to occur in
the proposed area without financial assistance from a TIF; and/or
b. An area is ripe for development or redevelopment provided that public
infrastructure is constructed to support the revitalization of the area; and/or
c. use of a TIF is the appropriate incentive tool to recruit or relocate a
catalyst project worth of public investment; and
d. The area proposed for designation as a TIF will have an increase in real
property taxable value within the first two (2) years following designation.
2. The term of any newly created TIF may not exceed 21 years (20 years of tax
increment collection), unless otherwise approved by City Council. Only TIFs
created to help finance a"Mai r Infrastructure Project". as designated by the City
Council pursuant to Resolution in accordance with the City's Relocation
Incentives Policy for Businesses Displaced by Major Infrastructure Projects
(Resolution No. 3556-11-2007). may have a term greater than 21 years, and the
longer term shall only be permitted as necessary to fully finance the "Major
Infrastructure Project":
3. City of Fort Worth participation in any TIF will be limited to ad valorem real
property taxes and preference will be given to participation at a rate less than
100 percent of the tax increment;
4. City of Fort Worth Housing and Economic Development Department will receive
and evaluate all TIF requests and applications; and
5. City of Fort Worth Housing and Economic Development Department will be
responsible for all TIF administration unless otherwise approved by the Fort
Worth City Council in the Preliminary Project and Financing Plans.
Section II. Overview, Requirements, and Criteria
1. Local Authority. The City of Fort Worth adopted the initial guidelines by
Resolution No. 3317-02-2006 on February 28, 2006 and was revised by
Resolution No. (LBD)on December 8, 2009. The intent of this Policy is to
provide direction to City Staff and interested parties regarding the development
and establishment of TIFs within the City of Fort Worth.
2. Statutory Authority. Under authority of Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code,
municipalities are permitted to establish TIFs. The City of Fort Worth will comply
2
with all requirements of Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code.
3. TIF Goals and Objectives. It is the City's goal to utilize TIFs as an economic
development tool in the development or redevelopment of targeted areas. The
City of Fort Worth may use TIFs to finance needed public improvements and
enhance infrastructure within those targeted areas. It is the intent of the City to
use TIFs for the primary purpose of the encouragement of revitalization within the
Central City and other targeted areas identified by City Council by leveraging
private investment for certain types of development activities that support the
goals outlined in the City of Fort Worth Comprehensive Plan_
4. M/WBE Goals. In satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 311.0101
of the Texas Tax Code, before initiating work on any phase of the public
improvements, the following goals and commitments must be met:
a. Any project costs for improvements that will ultimately be owned by the
public and contemplated under a TIF Project and Financing Plan will
require goals set by the Minority/Women Business Enterprise office for
utilization of Fort Worth certified minority-owned and women-owned
business enterprises (M/WBEs) in accordance with the same process
followed for City Public Works contracts.
b. Any project costs for improvements that will ultimately be owned by a
private entity and contemplated under a TIF Project and Financing Plan
will require a commitment for utilization of Fort Worth certified M/WBEs of
at least 25 percent of the total construction costs of a given project. The
commitment must be outlined in the Economic Development Agreement or
the TIF Development Agreement specifying the terms under which
construction of the public improvements receiving assistance from a TIF
are delineated. Any commitment below 25 percent will require a
developer to meet with the City of Fort Worth M/WBE Advisory Committee
prior to action by the applicable TIF Board of Directors to seek their input
and assistance. The M/WBE Advisory Committee will provide the
applicable TIF Board of Directors with a recommendation related to the
utilization of Fort Worth certified M/WBEs. This recommendation, if
different from the commitment made by the developer, will be non-binding,
but should be taken under advisement by the applicable TIF Board of
Directors.
5. Determining Eligibility. City Staff will undertake an economic analysis and risk
assessment of each proposed TIF before arriving at a recommendation to the
City Council as to whether the TIF should be created. The analysis, assessment,
and recommendation of all requested TIFs will be based on the applicant's ability
to address the following questions:
3
a. What is the public purpose of the proposed TIF? Will the area develop
without being designated as a TIF? What are the required public
improvements?
b. What is the financial need for public investments and/or subsidy? Will use
of the TIF recruit or relocate a catalyst project?
c. How will the City's general fund be impacted as a result of TIF
designation?
d. What is the potential success of the TIF?
e. What is the appropriate level of participation by the City and other taxing
entities?
f. What are the risks associated with creation of the TIF?
g. What alternative economic development tools are available in lieu of the
TIF? How does the proposed Project and Financing Plan meet the needs
of the proposed projects?
h. How will the TIF impact targeted public project improvements that are not
proposed as TIF projects?
6. TIF Tax Increment. Once a TIF has been established in accordance with
Chapter 311 and these guidelines, incremental real property taxes resulting from
new construction, public improvements, and redevelopment efforts, will accrue to
the various taxing entities. Participating entities may deposit all, a predetermined
portion, or none of the incremental taxes in a designated TIF fund for the purpose
of financing the planning, design, construction or acquisition of public
improvements to the TIF. The City of Fort Worth may elect to contribute less
than 100 percent of incremental real property taxes to the TIF. In no event will
the City contribute any incremental sales taxes to the TIF.
7. Use of TIF Proceeds. TIF funds may be used only to pay for those public works
and public improvements authorized by Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code. TIF
proceeds cannot be used to support exclusively private purposes.
8. Demonstration of Community Revitalization Impact. It is the intention of the City
of Fort Worth to use TIFs for the purpose of supporting community revitalization
and redevelopment projects in targeted areas. As part of the application, a
requestor must describe:
a. How the planned investment will contribute to revitalization activities in the
zone in question and/or the surrounding area of the community; and
b. How the input of nearby neighborhood residents and businesses has been
solicited in the planning process.
9_ Participation by Other Taxing Entities. Under Section 311.01 of the Texas Tax
Code, other local taxing entities retain the right to determine the amount of tax
increment that each will retain, or each may decide to retain all of the tax
increment. The City of Fort Worth will enter into written agreements with all
participating taxing entities to specify:
4
a. The conditions for payment of the tax increment into a TIF;
b. The portion of tax increment to be contributed by each entity to the TIF;
and
c. The term of the agreement.
10.Term of a Reinvestment Zone. As prescribed under Section 311.017 of the
Texas Tax Code, reinvestment zones shall terminate on the earlier of:
a. The termination date designated in the ordinance or order, as applicable,
creating the zone or an earlier, subject to Subsection (c) hereof or later
termination date designated by an ordinance or order adopted subsequent
to the ordinance or order creating the zone; or
b. The date on which all project costs, tax increment bonds and interest on
those bonds, and other obligations have been paid in full.
c. Only TIFs created to help finance a "Maior Infrastructure Project". as
designated by the City Council pursuant to the City's Relocation Incentives
Policy and Guidelines for Qualifying Businesses Affected by Public
Infrastructure Proiects (Resolution No. 3556-11-2007) may be considered
for a term extension if such extension is required to fully finance the Maio
Infrastructure Project.

Section 1 :
What's Tax Increment Financing
and Why Use It for Fort Worth South?
Tax Increment Financing Defined
Tax increment financing (TIF) is a tool local governments of Texas use to finance
public improvements within a defined area. The improvements strengthen
existing communities and attract new investments. The statutes governing tax
increment financing are in Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code.
A municipality makes an area eligible for tax increment financing by designating
a 'reinvestment zone." Reinvestment zones are also called "tax increment
zones," "tax increment districts," "TIF zones" or "TIF districts." Costs of selected
public improvements within the reinvestment zone may be paid by future or
current tax revenues flowing from improved and appreciated real properties in
the zone. The additional tax dollars generated by growth of real property value in
the zone are called the "tax increment." These dollars flow to a "tax increment
fund" ("TIF fund") for a specified term of years. Money flowing to the TIF fund
each year is disbursed according to a plan and agreements approved by a TIF
board that includes representatives of all participating local governmental units.
Exhibit A is a simple illustration of how tax revenues from real properties within a
reinvestment zone flow to taxing jurisdictions and a TIF fund.
Exhibit A:

Assumptions: (1) Taxable real property value of zone rises as shown.
(2)Tax rates remain constant Rate changes would impact cash
flow to taxing jurisdiction and the TIF fund.
Stein Planning and Management 11110/97, Page 1
Only cities may create reinvestment zones for tax increment financing. Once
created, school districts, counties, hospital districts and college districts are
allowed to participate in the tax increment financing agreement. Each taxing unit
may choose to dedicate to the TIF fund all, a portion or none of the additional tax
revenue attributable to increased real property value in the zone.
Inclusion of a property in a reinvestment zone does not change the tax rates for
the property. Tax rates in a reinvestment zone are the same as tax rates outside
the reinvestment zone, within the same set of taxing jurisdictions.
The Case for TIF in Fort Worth South
Fort Worth South is located immediately south of Downtown Fort Worth. Its
general location relative to the City of Fort Worth and Tarrant County is illustrated
in Exhibit B.

The Fort Worth South neighborhoods developed early in Fort Worth's history.
Today Fort Worth South is home to Tarrant County's largest concentration of
hospitals and out-patient medical services. Manufacturing and distribution,
residences, retail services and schools give the area a diversity of activities.
Despite location at the crossroads of regional freeways and dramatic growth of
the health care industry. taxable real property values in Fort Worth South have
not yet shown the resurgence since 1994 of either Tarrant County or the City of
Fort Worth. Exhibit C illustrates the divergence of taxable property values since
1994. From 1994 to 1997, Tarrant County taxable real property values rose 23%.
City of Fort Worth values rose 16"0. Fort Worth South values fell 8%.

Fort Worth South stakeholders appreciate the low real estate prices and
appraisals in the general area. They see the prospects of economic growth in
this sleeping market as developers and consumers become aware of economic
opportunities and a community drive powering Fort Worth South.
Another measure of the depressed market and readiness for redevelopment in
this significant part of the City and region is the high percentage of land now
vacant. Tax accounts comprising 22% of the privately owned land area in the
proposed Fort Worth South reinvestment zone are vacant land, with no
structures of material value.
The Fort Worth South community has been implementing an owner-driven
All, program to lift itself by the bootstraps. With an organizational structure similar to
Stein Planning and Management 11/10/97.Page 3
Downtown Fort Worth, Inc., Fort Worth Southside Development District, Inc. has
done business as "Fort Worth South" since 1996. Fort Worth South is a
OIL 501(c)(4) nonprofit operating corporation. It is associated with a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit foundation, Historic Southside, Inc., founded in 1985, to support
redevelopment. A three-party effort sponsored by the City of Fort Worth, the Fort
Worth Transportation Authority and the Southside Medical District produced a
strategic plan for the community in May 1995, titled Strategic Plan. Goals for
Fort Worth South have included creation of a Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
program for financing of public improvements pursuant to Texas statutes.
Owners of property in the Southside community believe the area will realize more
of its strong potential for economic development when tax increment financing
can be used to attract private redevelopment. With tax increment financing. a
developer may construct approved public improvements and anticipate
reimbursement from the future tax flows generated by the associated
development.

CONSENT HEARING:
SUBJECT: Conduct Public Hearing and Adopt Ordinance Amending the Project and Financing Plans
for Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 4, Southside TIF so as to Continue and Expand
Revitalization Efforts in the Near Southside by Adding Approximately $45 Million in Public
Improvement Projects (COUNCIL DISTRICTS 8 and 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing concerning an amendment to the Project and Financing Plans for Tax
Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 4, Southside 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 Southside 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 Plans for the Southside TIF district.
DISCUSSION:
The Southside TIF Project and Financing Plan (the Plan)was initially approved by the Southside TIF
district board of directors on August 30, 1999 and subsequently approved by City Council on August
31, 1999 (M&C G-12649).
On November 1, 2012, the TIF board of directors voted to amend the Plan to allow the TIF district to
continue and expand revitalization efforts in the Near Southside by adding approximately $45 million
in public improvement projects, raising the total projects funded by the TIF district to just under$90
million. Southside TIF projects can be broken down into nine categories: (1) administration, (2)
business development and retail, (3) parking structures, (4) neighborhood parks and plazas, (5)
residential, (6)schools, (7)signage, (8) streetscapes, and (9) transportation and infrastructure
improvements. Details of specific projects can be found in the amended Plan. As new investment is
attracted and revitalization is encouraged, the area will continue to become an economically viable,
mixed-use, central city neighborhood 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 Southside 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 Plans are located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 8
and 9.
