Adopt the attached Resolution supporting the 2013 Housing Tax Credit application to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for the Reserve at McAlister, a proposed senior multifamily development to be located north of McAlister Road, south of FM 1187 and west of Interstate Highway 35 South; 2. Authorize the waiver of the following City fees that would otherwise be charged to the developers: (i) all building permit, plan review, inspection, and re-inspection fees, (ii) all zoning fees, (iii) all temporary encroachment fees, (iv) all platting fees, and (v) all fire, sprinkler and alarm permit fees; and 3. Find that the waiver of such fees serves the public purpose of supporting economic development and benefitting low to moderate income elderly citizens by providing them with quality, affordable, accessible housing. DISCUSSION: MV Residential Land, LLC (Developer), a subsidiary of the Miller Valentine Group, is submitting an application for 2013 Housing Tax Credits (HTC) to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for the Reserve at McAlister (Development). The Developer will form an affiliated entity, Reserve at McAlister, LLC, for the Development. The Development will be located on approximately seven acres north of McAlister Road, south of FM 1187 and west of Interstate Highway 35W South. The Development will have approximately 124 units that would be affordable to individuals or households earning at or below 60 percent of Area Median Income. The Development would be set aside specifically for seniors. TDHCA awards up to seven points to developments that demonstrate support from the local governing body. In order for the HTC application to be competitive, Staff recommends City Council approve the attached Resolution supporting the application for tax credits for the Reserve at McAlister since it will assist the City in fulfilling its goals under its Consolidated Plan and Comprehensive Plan by supporting economic development and providing quality, accessible, affordable housing for elderly residents. Staff also recommends that any building permit, plan review, inspection, re-inspection, zoning, temporary encroachment, platting, fire, sprinkler, and alarm permit fees be waived for the Development if it receives Logname: 17RESERVEATMCALISTERRESOLUTION Pagel of 2 a Housing Tax Credit award from TDHCA. These fee waivers are an appropriate tool that will serve the public purpose of promoting economic development and providing affordable housing to low and moderate income City citizens. Because construction of the Development will be overseen through the permitting processes outlined in the City Code, Staff has adequate controls in place to ensure that this public purpose is carried out. All other fees charge or assessed by the City including but not limited to any water, sewer and transportation impact fees must be paid. The deadline for HTC applications to the TDHCA is March 1, 2013. City fees will be waived for this Development only if it receives an award of tax credits from the TDHCA. The Development is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 6. FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds.
