RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the allocation of up to $4,245,533.42 from the American Rescue Plan Act, Subtitle M (Coronavirus State and
Local Fiscal Recovery Funds) for the Evans and Rosedale Redevelopment and Affordable Housing Project(Project) to
pay the fair market value of thirty-six properties being acquired and contributed to the Project, consisting of thirty Fort
Worth Housing Finance Corporation (FWHFC) properties ($3,595,977.13), five (5) Fort Worth Local Development
Corporation (LDC) properties ($235,950.00), and one (1) City property ($112,500.00);
2. Authorize acquisition of thirty (30) properties from, and execution of all necessary agreements with, the FWHFC;

of trust covering all property to ensure the property is used for the development and continued operation of affordable
housing for a period of at least fifteen (15)years from the date of issuance of the certificate of occupancy.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to approve actions associated with the real estate transactions
for the Evans and Rosedale Redevelopment and Affordable Housing Project (Project).
Project Background
The thirty-six properties (collectively, the Property) are located within the boundaries of the Historic Southside Neighborhood, the
Evans and Rosedale Urban Village, Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number 4, and Census Tract 1231.001, which is a
Qualified Census Tract. The Property was part of the December 2018 Request for Expressions of Interest(RFEI) in which the
City of Fort Worth, the Fort Worth Housing Finance Corporation (HFC), and the Fort Worth Local Development Corporation
(LDC) sought a Master Developer arrangement in and near the historic Evans & Rosedale Urban Village.
Eight proposals were received through the RFEI and reviewed through an extensive staff and stakeholder evaluation process.
The selection criteria established included: 1.)Vision with respect to the history of the area; 2.) Quality of design; 3.) Economic
impact to the City; 4.) Qualifications and experience of the development team; 5.) Financial capacity of the team; 6.) Community
engagement; 7.)Alignment with the City's comprehensive plan and strategic economic development plans. Hoque Global
Properties, LLC ("Hoque")was selected as the development team that was most closely aligned with the selection criteria. After
significant community engagement and feedback, staff for the HFC, the City, and the LDC recommend that Hoque be selected
to redevelopment the area.
Between early 2019 and September, 2021, HFC, LDC, and City staff have negotiated a term sheet with Hoque. Hoque is
proposing a two-phased redevelopment that will result in a total of at least$70 million worth of investment; approximately 292
multifamily units, 20 townhomes, and 28 live-work units, with at least 20% of the total number of units being affordable; a cultural
square; parks, and other public spaces.
A neighborhood meeting outlining the conceptual project design and basic economic terms was held on September 16, 2021 at
Shamblee Library. The HFC and LDC met in a joint session on September 21, 2021 and approved resolutions authorizing the
sale of the parcels owned by H FC and LDC to the City as-is for the fair market value price, with each corporation authorizing its
General Manager to execute closing documents. Fair market value was determined using information from a broker's property
opinion, which indicated the value of the area properties is $21.27/s.f.
Due to market considerations, in order for the development to be financially feasible, Hoque must be able to purchase the
Property at a value significantly less than fair market value. As noted in prior public presentations and addressed in more detail
below, the plan is for the City to allocate $4,245,533.42 in Subtitle M funds under the American Rescue Plan Act(ARPA) to pay
the fair market value of the Property that will be contributed to the Project.
Approval of this M&C authorizes the purchase of the 30 properties from the HFC at a price of$3,595,977.13 and the five
properties from the LDC for$235,950.00 and allocates funding to pay for the one parcel owned by the City and valued at
$112,000. As authorized by Texas Local Government Code Section 272.001(g), the Property, which has a combined fair market
value of$4,245,553.42, would be sold to Hoque for monetary consideration of$1 each for the purpose of developing low-to
moderate-income housing; to effectuate and maintain the public purpose of affordable housing, the Property will be subject to a
lien through a Deed of Trust to Secure Performance, ensuring the required affordable housing is offered at the Property for a
period of at least 15 years. If the affordable housing requirements are not met, Hoque would be required to repay the full fair
market value of the Property out of its own separate funds.
The Property to be sold includes:

Allocation of ARPA Subtitle M Funding
Responding to the negative economic impacts of the coronoavirus pandemic is a specifically identified use of ARPA dollars
under Section 603(c)(1)(A) of Title VI of the Social Security Act (added by ARPA). Treasury Department guidance specifically
notes that these Fiscal Recovery Funds can be deployed for a broad range of uses to address "the disproportionate . . .
economic impacts of the crisis on the hardest-hit communities, populations, and households" and to provide services and
additional investments in Qualified Census Tracts, such as the one in which the Project is located. Therefore, it has been
determined that paying for the Property so that can be contributed to the Project below cost is an eligible use of funds as a
response to negative economic impact and an investment in housing and neighborhoods in a Qualified Census Tract.
The following chart reflects the current status for allocation of the City's ARPA funding under Subtitle M and incorporates each
ARPA M&C on the October 19, 2021 Council Agenda:

The Evans-Rosedale Project was also determined to be a qualified priority by City Management for ARPA funding as approved
by the City Council in M&C 21-0445 on June 22, 2021. ARPA funds must be committed by the end of 2024 and spent by the
end of 2026. The Property purchase should be completed by March 2022.
Approval of this M&C will allocate $4,245,533.42 for FY2022 in the American Rescue Plan Act project in the Grants Operating
Federal Fund budget. Necessary reporting and documentation requirements will be followed to ensure the City can comply with
all reporting requirements of the ARPA legislation.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, funds are available in the current operating
budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Operating Federal Fund. The Economic Development Department shall be responsible
for ensuring that only expenditures allowable under the American Recovery Plan Act are charged to this funding source.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of an Economic Development Program Agreement with Hoque
Global Properties LLC, and/or Related Affiliates, to develop certain properties owned by the City of Fort Worth, Fort Worth
Housing Finance Corporation, and Fort Worth Local Development Corporation located in the Evans & Rosedale Urban Village
as a mixed-use urban development on the terms set forth below in the discussion.
DISCUSSION:

taxes on the real and business personal property at the Project Site and 80% of the City's available one-cent sales tax
attributable to the Project Site (Grants). The combined aggregate value of all EDPA grants will be capped at a gross amount of

the private property owner with a conclusion of such efforts no later than March 31, 2022. This is a hard deadline and may
only be extended only by action of the City. In the event acquisition of 912 Missouri Avenue, Fort Worth, TX 76104 does
not occur, the scope of the Phase I and Phase II construction commitments outlined in Section I.a. and 1.b. may be revised
based upon the redesign of the project.
City Commitments:

The grants will begin in the second calendar year following the completion date of the Project, and will be based on the tax year
that immediately follows the year in which the completion date occurred. For example, if the Project is completed on December
31, 2024, the grants will be based on the value of property assessed for the 2025 tax year, with the grants paid in calendar year
2026.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of this agreement will have no material effect on the Fiscal Year 2022 Budget.
While no current year impact is anticipated from this action, any effect on expenditures and revenues will be budgeted in future
Fiscal Years and will be included in the long-term financial forecast.
