Section 1
FINDINGS.
That after reviewing all information before rt regarding the enlargement of the Zone and
after conducting a public heanng regarding the enlargement of the Zone and its benefits to the
City and to property in the Zone and affording a reasonable opportunity for all Interested persons
to speak for or against the enlargement of the Zone, the Clty Council hereby makes the following
findings of fact:
1 1 The statements and facts set forth In the recitals of this Ordinance are true and correct.
1.2. The City's Comprehensive Plan recommends that the western portion of the Zone and
areas west be developed as an Industrial growth center (Alllance) and the eastern portion
of the Zone and areas to the east be developed as a regional mixed-use growth center
(Alllance Gateway West) Given the strategic location of the Zone and the Expansion
Area (which currently is surrounded by the Zone), the Clty Council needs to ensure that
development In this area conforms to that recommended by the Comprehenslve Plan.
The Comprehenslve Plan states that a reglonal mixed-use growth center needs to have
three of the following five criteria. (i) high employment concentration, (ii) high
concentration of residents, (iii) one or more major transportation facilities, such as
highways and arterial roadways, (iv) mayor institutions, such as a government facility
and (v) mayor tourist attractions attracting at least 100 000 visitors per year If the
Expansion Area Is not included within the Zone and, accordingly does not receive the
potential benefits of development afforded by means the Zone s project plan that will
Page 3
Ordinance Enlarging T Increment Reinvestment Zone Number T
City of Fort Worth, T
govern development within the Expansion Area, there Is a risk that the Expansion Area
will not develop m the sound manner recommended by the Comprehensive Plan.
1.3 The Expansion Area is predominantly open and is located between the central city area of
the City and Fort Worth Alliance Airport, a comdor of the City that is likely to become
increasingly vital to the City's future development and economic well-being. However
like the property comprising the original boundaries of the Zone, the Expansion Area,
together with the property composing the original boundaries of the TIF lacks adequate
infrastructure and methods of ingress and egress, and attempts at private development in
the area without public incentives and Zone designation have not been successful. Based
on these facts, development within the Expansion Area will not occur solely through
private investment in the reasonably foreseeable future. Because of these and other
factors presented to and known by the City Council, the Expansion Area substantially
impairs and arrests the sound growth of the City The Expansion Area therefore meets
the criteria for designation of a reinvestment zone pursuant to Section 311 005(a) of the
Code and, as a result, is eligible to be added as part of the Zone.
1.4. Property m the Zone, as expanded to include the Expansion Area, will be contiguous.
1.5. Improvements m the Zone, mcludmg the Expansion Area, as specifically outlined m the
project plan adopted by the Zone s board of directors, will significantly enhance the value
of all the taxable real property m the Zone, mcludmg the Expansion Area, and will be of
general benefit to the City
1.6. The Expansion Area does not include property more than ten percent (10%) of which,
excluding property dedicated to public use, is used for residential purposes, as defined m
Section 311 006(d) of the Code.
Page 4

City of Fort Worth, T
1 7 The Expansion Area does not include more than f fteen percent (15%) of the total
appraised value of taxable real property m the Crty and m the mdustraal distracts created
by the Crty
1.8. With the addition of the property comprasing the Expansion Area, the Zone will not
contain more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total appraised value of real property
taxable by any county or school distract.

COUNCIL ACTION Approved on 12/9/2008 Ord. No 18397 12 2008
__ ...
DATE Tuesday December 09 2008
LOG NAME 17LONE STAR TIF
REFERENCE NO G-16389
1 Hold a public hearing to expand the boundary of Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Ten City of
Fort Worth Texas and
2 Adopt the attached Ordinance which increases the boundary of Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone
Number Ten City of Fort Worth Texas pursuant to Tax Increment Financing Act, Texas Tax Code
Chapter 311 and contains specific findings of fact in support thereof
DISCUSSION
On June 15 2004 the City Council adopted Ordinance No 16002 which designated Tax Increment
Reinvestment Zone Number Ten City of Fort Worth Texas (the Lone Star TIF). The TIF was created in
accordance with a Master Economic Development Agreement between the City• Tarrant County the Lone
Star Local Government Corporation and Cabela s Retail Inc. (City Secretary Contract No 30651). At the
time 164 acres of underdeveloped property in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction was located in the middle
of the TIF and was ineligible for inclusion in the TIF because it was not located in the City's boundaries
Under the Master Economic Development Agreement, the City agreed to use its best efforts to annex this
land and then add it as part of the Lone Star TIF That land has now been annexed As a result, it is
recommended that it be added to the Lone Star TIF at this time
This public hearing is required by the Texas Tax Code Chapter 311 (the Code). Notice of this hearing was
(1) delivered to the governing body of each taxing unit that levies real property taxes on property located
within the proposed TIF and (2) published in a newspaper of general circulation at least seven days prior to
the hearing
The property described and depicted in Exhibit A of the attached Ordinance meets the criteria for inclusion
into a reinvestment zone pursuant to the Code because among other things, the reasons contained in the
findings of fact set forth in the attached Ordinance the area is primarily open and due to a lack of basic
infrastructure that prevents development from occurring in the area solely through private investment in the
reasonably foreseeable future substantially impairs and arrests the sound growth of the City
The property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2
