This FAVADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
("Agreement") is entered into by and between the CITY OF FORT WORTH ("City"), a home
rule municipality organized under the laws of the State of Texas, and 2801 Race Street, LLC
("Developer"), a Texas Limited Liability Company. City and Developer may be referred to
individually as a "Party" and jointly as the "Parties".
RECITALS
City and Developer hereby agree that the following statements are true and correct and
constitute the basis upon which City and Developer have entered into this Agreement:
A. On or about September 7, 1979 the City entered into that certain Urban Development
Action Grant Agreement with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development
Grant ("UDAG") No. B-79-AA-48-0013 for use in acquiring land and constructing a parking
garage located under General Worth Park in downtown Fort Worth (City Secretary Contract No.
10610) (the "UDAG Grant Agreement"), as more specifically set forth in the UDAG Grant
Agreement. The City has leased this parking garage under that certain Lease Agreement (Parking
Garage Lease) dated on or about May 22, 1980 by and between City and Hunt Hotel/Fort Worth,
Ltd. (City Secretary Contract No. 11085, as amended and assigned). Rental revenues from this
lease are deemed "Grant Revenues" under the UDAG Grant Agreement (the "UDAG Grant Fund
Proceeds"). The UDAG Grant Agreement allows the City to use the UDAG Grant Fund Proceeds
for community or economic development activities eligible for assistance under Title I of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Pub. L. No. 93 -3 83, as amended (the "Act").
B. The purpose of the Urban Village Storefront/Facade Improvement Program
("Facade Improvement Program") is to encourage local businesses to improve storefronts/facades
in eligible areas, and to promote commercial revitalization and economic development. The Facade
Improvement Program is funded with revenues generated from the City -owned parking garage
located under General Worth Square originally funded with Urban Development Action Grant
("UDAG") funds. The Facade Improvement Program provides $1.00 for every $3.00 spent up to
$30,000.00.
Developer owns or is authorized to undertake the facade improvements to a building located
on certain real property in the City commonly described as 2801 Race Street, Fort Worth TX 76111.
The building and the proposed facade improvements, along with other improvements, are described
on the attached Exhibit "A", attached hereto and hereby made a part of this Agreement for all
purposes (collectively the "project"). A rendering that identifies the proposed facade
improvements to the building and the estimated cost of the improvements is set forth in Exhibit
"B", attached hereto and hereby made a part of this Agreement for all purposes (the
"Improvements").

FT, WORTH, TX
C. The 2014 Comprehensive Plan, adopted by the City Council under Ordinance No.
21164-03-2014 (the `Comprehensive Plan"), recommends that the City focus on revitalization of
the Central City, as defined in the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan specifies that one
of the principal means of revitalization of the Central City will be the redevelopment of distressed
commercial corridors, especially in the vicinity of urban villages, which are highly urbanized places
that have a concentration of jobs, housing units, commercial uses, public spaces, public
transportation and pedestrian activity, and are typically located along priority commercial corridors.
The project is located in the Six Points Urban Village, which, in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan, the City Council has been selected as one of 10 areas in the City where
revitalization efforts are most needed and where the use of public incentives can most sensibly be
focused.
D. The Improvements qualify as community or economic development activity eligible
for assistance under Title I of the Act. The City Council has determined that activities such as the
Improvements will benefit the City and constitute a positive step in revitalization of the Central City
and the designated Urban Village, in particular. The City Council has also determined that, by
entering into this Agreement, the potential economic benefits that will accrue to City under the
terms and conditions of this Agreement are consistent with City's economic development objectives
as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan.

herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

CODE G TYPE:J\ION- PUBLIC
CONSENT HEARING: NO
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution Amending the Policy for the Urban Village Storefront/Facade
Improvement Program to Change the Appellate Body from the Urban Design Commission
to the Community Development Council (COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 5, 8 and 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution amending the policy for the
Urban Village Storefront/Facade Improvement Program to change the appellate body from the Urban
Design Commission to the Community Development Council.
DISCUSSION:
On February 12, 2013, the City Council approved Resolution No. 4181-02-2013 approving the
creation of an Urban Village Storefront/Fagade Improvement Program (Program) and adopting a
policy for the Program (M&C G-17804). The policy provides that appeals of denials of funding under
the Program be heard by the Urban Design Commission However, Staff has been advised that the
Urban Design Commission should not serve as the appellate body for the Program because it is
already part of the design approval process and hearing appeals would conflict with its role under the
Zoning Ordinance. Since the Program is funded with Urban Development Action Grant funds, which
must be spent in a similar manner as Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in CDBG-
eligible areas, Staff proposed that the Community Development Council (CDC) hear appeals under
the Program. Staffs proposal was based upon the CDC's familiarity with CDBG and other federal
requirements.
Staff made a presentation about the Program and its appeals process to the CDC at its April 10, 2013
meeting and the CDC agreed to hear appeals of denials of funding under the Program. Since the
CDC has agreed to serve as the appellate body for the Program, Staff recommends amending the
policy.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 5, 8 and 9_
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on
City funds.

Adopt Resolution Amending the Policy for the Urban Village Storefront/Facade
Improvement Program to Change the Appellate Body from the Urban Design Commission
to the Community Development Council (COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 5, 8 and 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution amending the policy for the
Urban Village Storefront/Facade Improvement Program to change the appellate body from the Urban
Design Commission to the Community Development Council.
DISCUSSION:
On February 12, 2013, the City Council approved Resolution No. 4181-02-2013 approving the
creation of an Urban Village Storefront/Fapade Improvement Program (Program) and adopting a
policy for the Program (M&C G-17804). The policy provides that appeals of denials of funding under
the Program be heard by the Urban Design Commission. However, Staff has been advised that the
Urban Design Commission should not serve as the appellate body for the Program because it is
already part of the design approval process and hearing appeals would conflict with its role under the
Zoning Ordinance. Since the Program is funded with Urban Development Action Grant funds, which
must be spent in a similar manner as Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in CDBG-
eligible areas, Staff proposed that the Community Development Council (CDC) hear appeals under
the Program. Staffs proposal was based upon the CDC's familiarity with CDBG and other federal
requirements.
Staff made a presentation about the Program and its appeals process to the CDC at its April 10, 2013
meeting and the CDC agreed to hear appeals of denials of funding under the Program. Since the
CDC has agreed to serve as the appellate body for the Program, Staff recommends amending the
policy.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 5, 8 and 9.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on
City funds.

SUBJECT: Authorize Expenditure in the Amount of $300,000 00 in Urban Development Action Grant Program
Income for the Urban Village Store Front/Fagade Improvement Program, Adopt Appropriation
Ordinance and Resolution Adopting Program Policy (COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 5, 8 and 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the expenditure in the amount of $300,000.00 of Urban Development Action Grant
program income for the Urban Village Storefront/Fagade Improvement Program,
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations of
the Grants Fund in the amount of $300,000.00 from available funds; and
3. Adopt the attached Resolution approving the creation of the Urban Village Storefront/Facade
Improvement Program and adopting the attached Policy.
DISCUSSION:
On December 4, 2012, Staff made a presentation to the Housing and Economic Development
Committee regarding a proposed Urban Village Storefront/Fagade Improvement Program (Facade
Improvement Program). The City does not have a program to assist with the improvement of
storefronts or facades in targeted areas. This type of incentive program has been recommended by
consultants involved in the development of the Commercial Corridor and Urban Village
plans. However funding has not been available.
S taff has identified the amount of $300,000.00 of Urban Development Action Grant (UDAG) program
income to use for this program. The UDAG program income funds are rental revenues received from
the lease for the City -owned parking garage under General Worth Square (City Secretary Contract
N o. 11085 as amended and assigned). The construction of the parking garage, originally known as
the Radisson Parking Garage project was funded with UDAG funds and rental revenues from the
lease are deemed 'Grant Revenues" under the UDAG Grant Agreement (City Secretary Contract No.
10610). The Grant Revenues from what is now known as the Hilton Parking Garage project must be
used for projects that meet the requirements of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program and include private investment. Annual revenue from the parking garage is approximately
$100,000.00 and the project has a remaining balance of approximately $580,000.00.
The Facade Improvement Program meets the UDAG economic development project eligibility
requirements. Staff recommends that City Council approve the creation of the Facade Improvement
Program and approve the expenditure of UDAG funds for the program under the following
guidelines:
Program Guidelines:
• Project must be within an Urban Village and in a CDBG-eligible census block group (West 7th,
Berry -University and Magnolia Urban Villages are not eligible).
• Participation by the City shall be capped in the amount of $30,000.00 per building and the
private
iv1&C Review
Page 2 of 2
investment must be at least one-third the City investment ($3 private for every $1 public).
• Eligible expenditures are only for store front or facade improvements that will improve the
aesthetics of the building.
• City funding will be on a reimbursement basis once the project is completed.
• Staff will administratively approve applications for proposed improvements.
• Appeals of Staff's denial of applications will be to the Urban Design Commission.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 5, 8 and 9.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above
recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the
current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
