NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS Page 2 Ordinance Enlarging T Increment Reinvestment Zone Number T City of Fort Worth, T 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 Ordinance Enlarging T Increment Reinvestment Zone Number T 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. Section 2. DESIGNATION OF EXPANSION AREA FOR INCLUSION IN ZONE. That the City Council hereby enlarges the boundaraes of the Zone by adding the Expansion Area, specifically described in Exhibit A The Zone, as enlarged, will thus contain all of the property specifically described and depicted in Exhibit `B" The Zone, as enlarged, has been designated under Section 311 005(a)(2) of the Code and will continue to be known as `Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Ten, City of Fort Worth, Texas.

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 FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION The Financial Management Services Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City Logname• 17LONE STAR TIF Page 1 of 2 funds TO Fund/AccountlCenters FROM Fund/Account/Centers Submitted for City Manager's Office bv: Tom Higgins (6140) Originating Department Head.
