DISCUSSION: On April 10, 2018, the Fort Worth City Council authorized approval of a five-year tax abatement with Scenic Race, LLC, by Mayor and Council Communication (M&C C-28659). The City of Fort Worth entered into the Tax Abatement Agreement (Agreement) (City Secretary Contract Nos. 50882 & 50882-CA1) with subsequent assignment to PMA FW Presidio, LLC (Owner). The Terms of the Agreement include a Compliance Auditing Term which starts January 1 of the year following the year in which a final certificate of occupancy is issued for the Required Improvements. The Abatement Beginning Date starts January 1 of the year following the year that the Compliance Auditing Term begins. The Compliance Auditing Term generally gives the Owner time to lease set aside units which would be required in the Agreement. However, the Owner opted to pay an annual sum equal to $200.00 for each rental residential unit located on the Premises to the Fort Worth Housing Finance Corporation (FWHFC) and has requested the Compliance Auditing Term and Abatement Beginning Date to coincide. This would change the start of the abatement and the annual payment to the FWHFC to 2022. All other terms of the contract will remain the same. This project is located in Council District 9. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the Tax Abatement Amendment, a loss of an estimated $628,014.30 in property tax revenue may occur over the five year period. This reduction in revenue will be incorporated into the long term financial forecast upon the Tax Abatement being officially granted. Submitted for City Manager's Office by.
