TAX INCREMENT FINANCING OVERVIEW I. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING OVERVIEW Tax increment financing ("TIF") is a tool Texas local governments use to finance public improvements within a defined area. These improvements are intended to promote development or redevelopment m the defined area and surrounding areas. The primary statute governing tax increment financing is codified m Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code (the `Tax Code") Chapter 311 is often referred to as the Tax Increment Financing Act and rt allows municipalities to create `reinvestment zones" within which various public improvements can be undertaken. A municipality makes an area eligible for tax increment financing by designating a reinvestment zone. Essentially for the City to initiate the designation of an area as a reinvestment zone, the area must 1) substantially arrest or impair the sound growth of the municipality creating the zone, retard the provision of housing accommodations, or constitute an economic or social liability and be a menace to the public health, safety morals, or welfare m its present condition, or 2) be predominately open and, because of obsolete platting, deterioration of structure or site improvements, or other factors, substantially impair or arrest the sound growth of the municipalrty• or 3) be m a federally assisted new community located m the municipality or adjacent to such property At the time an area is designated a reinvestment zone for tax increment financing, the existing total appraised value of real property m the zone is identified and designated as the `base value All taxing units that levy taxes m the zone during the life of the TIF will continue to receive the tax revenues derived from the `base value As new development is added to the tax rolls wrthm the TIF area, total assessed valuations rise. This rise m new value is measured annually and is called the captured appraised value" The taxes that are collected by the participating taxing jurisdictions on the incremental increase between the original `base value and the current year's captured appraised value is the `tax increment" Each taxing unit choosing to participate m the TIF will agree to deposit a portion or all of the taxes generated from the `tax increment" into a TIF fund administered by a TIF Board that is appointed by the local taxing units The TIF Board uses the tax increment to make public improvements m the area to attract private development that would not otherwise occur or that may not occur until at a much later date Additionally the TIF Board may enter into development agreements to participate m new development or redevelopment. The TIF District ends on the earlier of 1) the termination date contained m the ordinance estabhshmg the zone or 2) the date on which all project cost have been paid m full. Any revenues remaining m the TIF fund after the dissolution of the TIF are returned pro rata to each participating taxing unit. 4 II. THE PROJECT PLAN II. THE PROJECT PLAN Acknowledging Fort Worth s continued economic growth, the City Council of the Crty of Fort Worth has made the revitalization and renaissance of the southeast area of paramount importance. In general, the TIF Plans contemplate that prospective developers of properties within the TIF may fund portions of public infrastructure associated with development opportunities utilizing financial support from the TIF Board through development agreements that provide for reimbursement of eligible expenses for these developments It is also anticipated that the TIF Board may undertake certain public improvement projects once sufficient tax increment is available m an effort to further enhance the area, thereby making it more attractive to new development and redevelopment. The East Berry Renaissance TIF represents an important opportunity to support viable economic redevelopment m southeast Fort Worth. The area encompassed by the TIF has been m a general state of economic decline with very little new private investment taking place m the past twenty five years In order to support new and denser development in the future, the basic infrastructure m the area must be upgraded because most of the existing water sewer and storm drainage systems were constructed more than fifty years ago A. DESCRIPTION OF THE ZONE The reinvestment zone outlined by this Project Plan and Financing Plan ("the Plans") is located m the southeast area of Fort Worth, Texas and encompasses property that is bounded by Glen Garden Drive on the northernmost boundary State Highway 287 on the easternmost boundary Riverside Drive east of Ripy Street on the southernmost boundary and Interstate Highway 35 Frontage road on the westernmost boundary This area includes mayor intersections such as Riverside & Berry and Berry & Mitchell and rt includes the Masonic Home of Texas School property A map of the boundary and the legal description of the area are contained on the following pages as well as maps of the existing uses and property values. 6 ~.

THE FINANCING PLAN 19 III. THE FINANCING PLAN A. ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF THE ZONE Increased Tax Base The following economic impact analysis is based on known development plans wrthm the TIF district and the opportunities that exist to capture tax increment due to the low appraised values m the area. The success of any TIF Zone is predicated on the increase m value of the appraised real property so that tax increment may be captured. This tax increment can then be used to make infrastructure improvements m an effort to promote further growth. With that m mind, initiating this TIF Zone m 2006 is important since private investment planned for the area is currently underway Specifically the Sierra Vista residential development planned at the northwest corner of the intersection of East Berry and Riverside Drive can serve as a catalyst that both initiates the redevelopment of the area and helps ensure the success of the TIF Zone m the early years Along with this single family housing project, numerous development opportunities have come to the forefront including the potential development of the Masonic Home of Texas School property which includes approximately 200-acres of prime green space wrthm the core of the central city With the designation of the 604-acre TIF rt is anticipated that the area wrthm and surrounding the TIF will experience a substantial increase m value as the project improvements are completed and the planned developments build out. Potential development is expected to include commercial, retail, restaurants, entertainment, and residential uses These new developments should have a greater impact on the overall increase m taxable real property wrthm the Zone than typically found in other areas of Fort Worth. A comparison of land values per acre in a comparable area of the City of Fort Worth in which a TIF Zone has been created, illustrates the potential for a dramatic increase m existing property values due to the depressed existing values The area for the TIF shows that the average value per acre of real property is under $50 000 while the average value per acre of the Southside TIF (generally bounded by Interstate Highway 30 on the north, Evans Avenue on the east, Allen on the south, and Forest Park on the west) when created in 1997 was over $140 000 Because of the overall depressed existing values m the area, rt is surmised that new investment made in the area will increase the value of existing properties at a faster rate than the typical rate of inflation, which means an even greater opportunity for the TIF Zone to be successful. It is estimated that the area m the Zone will experience significant development during the 20-year period in which the TIF Zone is m place with the potential for TIF Increment to exceed $30 million if all taxing entities choose to participate by designating 100% of their tax increment. Although prohibited from participating m the TIF rt is anticipated that the Fort Worth Independent School District could receive an estimated $39.2 million in tax revenue over the 20-year period. 20 r u Increased Retail and Commercial Business Based on current land uses and potential investment, the TIF will develop with approximately 110 acres of the developable area becoming new or redeveloped retail and commercial business. iii Employment Opportunities In addition to the fobs created during construction of the project improvements, it is expected that the future development of the Zone resulting from the pnvate project improvements will generate a wide variety of additional employment opportunities 21 B. PROPOSED PROJECTS AND IMPROVEMENTS The redevelopment within the East Berry Renaissance TIF will consist of a combination of public improvements and private investments projects. These improvements will provide a `foundation for development" to encourage and support the long term public needs of the neighborhood and secure mixed-use economic growth opportunities m southeast Fort Worth. i. Initial Improvements The initial improvements contemplated m the East Berry Renaissance TIF include public infrastructure (e g. water sewer drainage, roads, sidewalks, etc) associated with mixed-use development. In addition, demolition, environmental remediation, and all expenses allowable under the Tax Increment Financing Act are contemplated as needed for areas of the TIF Zone identified as ripe for new or redevelopment. The improvements undertaken by the TIF will be associated with the projects listed below East Berry Corridor Improvements -Street, traffic, utility drainage and other public infrastructure projects on East Berry Street from IH 35 to Highway 287 • Public Infrastructure such as water sewer drainage, roads, sidewalks, etc associated with the following development projects o Sierra Vista Phase II -Commercial and Retail Developments planned for the northeast corner of Riverside and Berry o Masonic Home of Texas School property -Development of this site once sold to a private investment group which is expected m 2006 o Sierra Vista Phase III -Commercial and Retail Development planned on the southwest corner of Riverside and Berry • Berry Street Gateway Enhancements Street, traffic, utility drainage and other public infrastructure projects at the gateways of the TIF at IH 35 and at Highway 287 • Administrative Expenses ii. Future Improvements There are no future projects contemplated during the term of the TIF However the City Council reserves the right to consider amendments to the project plan if subsequent projects are identified by the TIF Board as appropriate and eligible for tax increment funding. 22 C. TAX INCREMENT REVENUE PROJECTIONS i Bonded Indebtedness No bonded indebtedness is expected to be incurred with respect to any of the project improvements ii Projection of Revenues This section outlines the estimated Zone tax increment. The Zone Tax increment will depend on many factors, including (a) the base value of real property m the Zone subject to property tax, (b) captured appraised value, (c) annual growth of the Zone s taxable real property (which largely depends on private growth wrthm the Zone) (d) participation by tax units, (e) tax rates, (f) collection rates and (g) the term of the Zone Each of these factors is discussed m turn. (a) Taxable Appraised Value for 2006 (the Base Value) Table 1 sets forth the total taxable appraised value of property in the Zone (estimated to be $30 154 930), which is anticipated to be the Zone s base value (b) Captured Appraised Value Table 1 sets forth the estimated total appraised value of property m the Zone over the life of the TIF (estimated to be approximately $212,474 746 m year 2026) (c) Expected Annual Growth of the Zone s Taxable Real Pr~erty The estimated captured appraised value (thus reflecting estimated growth of real property taxable values) of the Zone for each year of its existence and the estimated tax increment to be generated annually m total and from each taxing entity is outlined on Table 1 (d) Participation by Tax Unrts Although each taxing entity has not agreed to a specific level of participation, the financial projections set forth m the Plans anticipates that the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County the Tarrant County Hospital District, Tarrant County College, and Tarrant Regional Water District will participate in the Zone, by contributing one hundred percent (100%) of their tax increment with respect to the Zone. (e) Pro,ected Tax Rates Property tax rates are assumed to remain constant. (f) Pro,ected Collection Rates. The Plans assumes a one hundred percent (100%) collection rate. (g) Term of the Zone The term of the Zone will be 21 years, expiring on December 31 2027 beginning with that Zone tax increment generated by the 2007 tax appraisal and ending with that Zone tax increment generated by the 2026 tax appraisal 23 iii Estimated Payment of Project Costs Based on the assumptions and estimates set forth m the information above, it is expected that the Zone tax increment will be sufficient to pay in full all project costs (including interest) 24 IV SUMMARY OF PROJECT COSTS AND FINANCING Zs IV SUMMARY OF PROJECT COSTS AND FINANCING A.
