Reinvestment Zone Number Three of the City of Fort Worth, Texas.

A PETITION TO THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF FT. WORTH, TEXAS
FOR ENLARGEMENT OF THE BOUNDARY OF TAX INCREMENT
REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER THREE, CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS
TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FT. WORTH, TEXAS:
The City Council of the City of Ft. Worth, Texas, is hereby requested,pursuant to
the provisions of Chapter 311, Texas Tax Code, to adopt an- ordinance for the
enlargement of the boundary of Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Three, City
of Fort Worth, Texas.
The area of land, which is the subject of this request, is shown in a map included
as Exhibit "A' (the "Proposed TIF Expansion") to this Petition, which may be executed
in multiple counterparts. The property owners collectively executing the multiple
counterparts of this Petition.("Petitioners") are the owners of property constituting at least
fifty(50)percent of the appraised value of a contiguous area of land shown and described
at Exhibit"A", according to the most recent certified appraisal roll of the Tarrant County
Appraisal District. A description of the property owned by each Petitioners in included at
the signature page for the Petitioner.
In support of this Petition, the Petitioners would respectfully show the City
Council as follows:
1. The Proposed TIF Expansion includes approximately 360 acres which should
be redeveloped with the existing land uses to promote quality mixed-use
development.
2. The Proposed TIF Expansion contains substantial areas that are unproductive
or underdeveloped in their present condition. The public infrastructure cannot
support private reinvestment, as proposed in the Downtown Fort Worth
Strategic Action Plan 1993. The streets, sidewalks, public parking areas,
lighting systems and related infrastructure are inadequate and impede
redevelopment or new development. Portions of the area also have obsolete
platting. These conditions substantially impair the sound growth of the area.
3. One of the major redevelopments of the Proposed TIF Expansion includes the
construction and funding of a full-time farmer's and public market. The
proposed redevelopment requires the replacement and reconstruction of the
public infrastructure and new public facilities. The proposed reconstruction
will be financed through the enlargement of the boundary of the Reinvestment
Zone over the proposed area.
1
The Petitioners request that pursuant to Chapter 311, Tax Code that the City
Council, the governing body of the City of Ft. Worth, enlarge the boundaries of Tax
Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Three under the provisions of Section
311.005(a)(5) Vernon's Tax Code, (the "Zone") to promote the development and
redevelopment of such area.
The Petitioners request such other action and assistance that the City Council may
deem necessary and appropriate to implement the redevelopment of the Zone.
Respectfully submitted to the City Council of the City of Ft. Worth by and
through its City Secretary this the day of 2001 by the
undersigned Petitioners.

SUBJECT AURTHORIZE EXECUTION OF AMENDMENTS TO AGREEMENTS WITH TARRANT
COUNTY AND TARRANT COUNTY HOSPITAL DISTRICT FOR PARTICIPATION IN
TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER THREE, CITY OF FORT
WORTH, TEXAS DOWNTOWN TIF
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute amendments to the
agreements with Tarrant County (County) and Tarrant County Hospital District (Hospital District)
increasing the level at which the County and the Hospital District will contribute tax increment to the
Downtown TIF.
DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to the Downtown TIF's original Project and Financing Plan, all taxing units that have been
contributing tax increment revenue to the Downtown TIF limited their participation to a maximum of $50
million in committed project costs by the Downtown TIF. Therefore, once the Downtown TIF had
committed to or otherwise pledged $50 million toward allowable project costs, the taxing units would
cease their contributions to the Downtown TIF and the Downtown TIF would not financially be able to
undertake any additional projects.
On February 4, 2003, City staff presented the City Council with a proposal for the redevelopment of the
former Bank One Tower, which was severely damaged in the tornado of March 28, 2000, and is
currently vacant. They also approved the redevelopment of the Tandy Center, which is scheduled to be
vacated in 2005 when RadioShack Corporation moves into its new corporate campus on the site of the
former Ripley Arnold Apartments. In accordance with that proposal, the Downtown TIF's board of
directors has entered into leases for public parking spaces in the parking garages of both buildings and
into a development agreement for the abatement of asbestos in the former Bank One Tower. All three
of these agreements are critical in order for the redevelopment projects to be financially viable.
In order for the Downtown TIF to fund these transactions, the $50 million project cost cap must be
increased. On February 18, 2003, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2922 increasing the cap
applicable to the City to $72 million, with the understanding that any tax increment contributed by the
City to the Downtown TIF once it had committed $50 million toward various projects would be reserved
for projects undertaken on or after February 17, 2003. The County and the Hospital District have also
agreed to increase their contributions in the same manner, reserving the additional funding for projects
related to the redevelopment of the former Bank One Tower and the Tandy Center, and have
accordingly executed amendments to City Secretary Contract Nos. 21825 and 21823, respectively,
which are the agreements with the City pursuant to which the County and the Hospital District
contribute tax increment revenue to the Downtown TIF. In order for the amendments to be effective,
state law requires that the City Council authorize execution of these amendments.
