Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 3/2/2004
DATE: Tuesday, March 02, 2004
LOG NAME: 05VILLAGE HOMES REFERENCE NO.: C-19987
SUBJECT:
Approval of Tax Abatement Agreement with Village Homes for Eleven Real Estate Properties
Located in the West 7th Street/University Drive Neighborhood Empowerment Zone
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve a five-year Municipal Property Tax Abatement for each of eleven real properties listed in
Exhibit "A", owned by Village Homes and located in the West 7th Street/University Drive Neighborhood
Empowerment Zone (NEZ) for the development of townhomes; and
2. Find that the statements set forth in the recitals of the attached Tax Abatement Agreement with Village
Homes are true and correct; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a separate Tax Abatement Agreement with Village Homes for
each of the properties listed on Exhibit "A" in accordance with the NEZ Tax Abatement Policy and Basic
Incentives.
DISCUSSION:
Village Homes is the owner of the eleven properties listed in Exhibit "A". The real properties are located in
the West 7th Street/University Drive NEZ and Neighborhood Empowerment Reinvestment Zone No.
14. Village Homes applied for a five-year municipal property tax abatement under the NEZ Tax Abatement
Policy and Basic Incentives (M&C G-13208R, M&C G-13580 and M&C G-13662, as amended). The
Housing Department reviewed the application and certified that the properties meet the eligibility criteria to
receive NEZ municipal property tax abatement. The NEZ Program offers a five-year municipal property tax
abatement on the increased value of improvements to the qualified owner of any new home constructed
within a NEZ. Village Homes will invest, at a minimum, $2,152,000 to construct eleven town homes in the
West 7th Street/University Drive NEZ. In order for Village Homes to qualify for the tax abatement, Village
Homes must construct the townhomes with a minimum of 2000 square feet that will appraise for $295,000
for 2 story town homes, and $320,000 for 3 story town homes. A more detailed description of the homes to
be constructed is attached as Exhibit "B". The form of the Tax Abatement Agreement is attached as Exhibit
licit.
Upon execution of the agreement, the total assessed value of the home used for calculating municipal
property tax will be frozen for a five-year period, starting on January 1, 2005, at the estimated pre-
improvement value as defined by the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) on January 1, 2004, for each one of
the properties as follows:
Pre-improvement TAD Value of Improvements $ 0
Pre-improvement Estimated Value of Land $10,909
Total Pre-improvement Estimated Value $10,909
Logname: 05VILLAGE HOMES Pap-e 1 of 2
The municipal property tax on the improved value of the homes is estimated at $1786 per year on each 2
story unit and $1937 per year on each 3 story unit for a total of $102,005 over the five-year period for the
eleven homes. However, this estimate may be different from the actual tax abatement value, which will be
calculated based on the TAD appraised value of the property. Upon the sale of the home, the agreement
will be assigned to the new owner, so long as the new owner meets all eligible criteria as stated in the NEZ
Tax Abatement Policy and Basic Incentives. The Tax Abatement Agreement provides that the agreement
may be assigned without subsequent City Council approval to Village Homes first mortgagee, or to a
homeowner who will use the required improvements as his/her primary residence or the homeowner's
mortgagee. All other assignments must be approved by the City Council.
The properties are located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.

The Finance Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds.
