I. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING OVERVIEW

I. TAX INCREMENTFINANCING OVERVIEW
Tax increment financing ("TW") is a tool Texas local governments use to finance public
improvements within a defined area. These improvements are intended to promote
development or redevelopment in the defined area and surrounding areas. The statute
governing tax increment financing is codified in Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code (the
-Tax ..(.-'ode"), Chapter 311 is often referred to as the Tax Increment Financing Act and it
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, forte 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 in its present condition; or 2) be predoininately open arid, because of
obsolete platting, deterioration of structure or site improvements, or other factors,
substantially impair or arrest the sound growth of the municipality" or 3) be in a federally
assisted new community located in the municipality or acliacent to such property.
At the time ari area is designated a reinvestment zone fort increment financing, the
existing total taxable value of real property in the zone is identified and designated as the
"base value," All taxing its that levy taxes in 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 within the TIF area, total assessed valuations
rise. This rise in 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 increnienf'. Each taxing it choosing to participate in 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 in the area to attract
private development that would not otherwise occur or that may not occur until a much later
date. Additionally, the TIF Board may enter into development agreements to participate in
new development or redevelopment.
The TIF District ends on the earlier of 1) the termination date contained in the ordinance
establishing the zone or 2) the date on which all protect cost have been paid in full. Any
revenues remaining in the TIF fund after the dissolution of the TIF are returned pro rata to
each participating taxing unit.

II. THE PROJECT PLAN
s
II. THE PROJECT PLAN
The City Council recognizes the historical, and economic J I mportwice of the Fort Worth
Stockyards and surrounding neighborhoods, the growth and vitality of which is impeded by
inadequate infrastructure and pockets of persistent blight, and is committed to the
preservation and enhancement of the Greater Stockyards Area through strategic investment
and the attraction of compatible development.
The Project Plan of the TIF is intended to address certain challenges that are common to the
area encompassed by the TIF through public improvements that may include, in general,
road improvements, rail crossings or overpasses, public water and sewer line improvements,
demolition and environmental. rem.ediation, streetscaping and pedestrian improvements,
public parking infrastructure, and certain public amenities.
In general, the TIF Plan contemplates that prospective developers of properties located
within the TIF may fund portions of public infrastructure associated with development
opportunities utilizing financial support from the TT F 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 in an effort to further enhance the area, th.ereby making
it more attractive to new development and redevelopment.
Projects will qualify for assistance by the use of TIF funds if those projects meet at least one
of the criteria outlined below. Qualifying for assistance does not mean that the project will
automatically receive TIF assistance, Only projects in which the TIF Board has approved
participation by the use of TIF funds through a development agreement will receive
assistance,
• Mixed-use (within a single building)
• Projects that lead to direct job creation
• Adaptive reuse of an existing building
• Transit-oriented development
• Board-approved streetscape improvernents,
• Redevelopment along mayor commercial corridors
• Historic preservation or restoration
• "I't-ansportation improvements that substantially enhance the accessibility of and
mobility within the area
• Mixed income housing
• Board approved public amenities (for example, public plazas, improved public access
to public areas such as Marine Creek, or gateway enhancements at prominent
locations along major corridors)
• Creates or improves pedestrian litikages.

A. DESCRIPTION OF THE ZONE
The reinvestment zone outlined by this Project Plan and Financing Plan ("the Plan") is
located in the northern area of Fort Worth, Texas and encompasses property that is generally
bounded by Northwest 30th Street on the northernmost boundary, Interstate Highway 35
Frontage road on the easternmost boundary, North Grand Avenue on the southernmost
boundary, and Clinton Avenue on the westernmost boundary. This area includes major
intersections such as N. Main & 28th St. and N. Main & Northside Dr. and it includes the
Historic Fort Worth Stockyards district.
A map of the boundary and the legal description of the area are contained in exhibits at the
end of this document, as are maps of the existing uses and property values.
B. PROPOSED CHANGES TO CURRENT ORDINANCES AND CODES
It is anticipated that the City of Fort Worth will establish an urban design district or adopt a
similar ordinance affecting zoning or building form ("design standards") to ensure that new
development in the Stockyards area is compatible with existing architecture and that the
historic western character and heritage of the Fort Worth Stockyards is preserved. While
viewed as consistent with the aims of the TIF, the establishment of design standards within
the zone is not prompted or necessitated by the establishment of the TIF.
C. ESTIMATED PRIVATE INVESTMENT (NON-PROJECT COSTS)
Private investment of up to $185 million is anticipated to occur in one area of the zone in
association with the Fort Worth Stockyards Heritage Project. It is estimated that additional
private investment, spurred by the creation of the TIF District and the planned project, will
reach approximately $200 million over the 20-year term.
D. METHOD OF RELOCATING DISPLACED PERSONS
No person shall be displaced as a result of implementing the Plan.

III. THE FINANCING PLAN

A. ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF THE ZONE
L Increased Tax Base
The following economic impact analysis is based on anticipated development plans within
the proposed TIF district and the opportunities that exist to capture tax increment due to a
significant number of low appraised values in the area.
The success of any TIF is predicated on the increase in value of the appraised real property
so that tax increment may be captured. This tax increment can then be used to make
infrastructure improvements in an effort to attract new growth and in this particular case,
promote redevelopment opportunities. With that in mind, initiating this TIF zone in 2014 is
important so that the TIT District can be in place to assist and enhance planned private
investment that may begin as soon as 2015. The Fort Worth Stockyards Heritage Project,
which may one day encompass more than I million square feet of mixed-use redevelopment
and new development has the potential of serving as a catalyst that may initiate the
redevelopment of the overall area. Creation of the TIF zone will provide a tool that will lend
support to the catalyst project as well as provide impetus to the private sector to invest in the
area. The planned project as well as discussions concerning other potential development in
the area will ensure the TIT District's success by providing needed increment from which
projects can be funded to further support overall redevelopment. This will not only enhance
the success and impact of new development in and near the Historic Fort Worth Stockyards,
but will enable public improvements that can support the cultivation of new development
opportunities at sites that are presently blighted, challenged by inadequate infrastructure or
that have experienced suppressed property values.
With the designation of the proposed 925-acre TIF, it is anticipated that the area within and
surrounding the TIF will experience certain increases in value as the project improvements
are completed. Potential development is expected to include commercial, retail, restaurants,
entertainment, and residential uses. With regard to the revenue projections that have been
developed for this plan, a 1.5 percent annual growth rate has been utilized for the initial four
years which then accelerates to a 2.5 percent annual growth rate for the remainder of the TIF.
Additionally, an approximate $147 million in improvements to properties currently
identified as being favorably positioned for new development have been incorporated into
the projections. It is also anticipated that within the twenty-year term, the TIF will be
capable of supporting additional major development similar to that which is currently
planned by the Fort Worth Stockyards Heritage Project. The incremental value of such
development has been incorporated into the projections for the TIF.
As a result of the anticipated improvements described above, it is estimated that the TIF
increment will generate approximately $40 million if the City, County, Tarrant Regional
Water District and Tarrant County College District each choose to participate by designating
50% of their tax increment.
9
ii. Increased Retail and Commercial Business
Based on current land uses and potential investment, the TIF will develop with
appsoxmiately 123 acres of the developable area becoming new or redeveloped mixed-Lise:,
retail and commercial business.
iii. Employment, Opportunities
In addition.to the jobs created during cotistruction.of the project improvements, it is expected
that the future development ®f the zone resulting from the private protect improvements will
generate a wide variety of additional employment opportunities.
1.0
B. PROPOSED PROJECTS AND IMPROVEMENTS
The redevelopment within the Stockyards/Northside TIF will consist of a combination of
public improvements and private investment 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 in the Greater
Stockyards Area.
i. Initial Improvements
The initial improvements contemplated in the Stockyard s/Norths ide TIF include public
infrastructure (e.g. water, sewer, drainage, roads, sidewalks, etc) associated with mixed-use
and commercial 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 support eligible Board-approved projects as
listed in the Project Plan and will include, but not be limited to the types of improvements
described below:
• Road and Access Improvements - Street, traffic, utility, drainage and other public
infrastructure projects within the TIF boundaries, including projects that improve
access to and from the TIF area, such as rail crossings or rail overpasses.
• Public Infrastructure Improvements - Public water and sewer line improvements,
electric utility improvements, demolition and environmental remediation projects
within TIF boundaries.
• StreetscapingLand Pedestrian Improvements— Landscaping and sidewalk
improvements, installation of pedestrian lighting, benches and wayfinding signage as
well as other improvements within the public right-of-way that enhance the pedestrian
experience.
• Public Parking Infrastructure (surface or structured)— Construction of new parking
facilities or improvements to existing parking facilities that dedicate spaces for use by
the general public.
• Public Amenities - Improved public access to or public use of Marine Creek, gateway
improvements at key entry points of the Greater Stockyards Area, public plazas or
similar public improvements that support development and redevelopment within TIF
boundaries
11
• Demolition and Environrnental R,emed.iation Demolition of existing structures or
improvements at, above or below grade in association with Board-approved projects as
listed in the Project Plan and site improvements that address existing conditions that
pose concerns to the environment or public health.
• Historic Eiggde Preservation and.Rest oration—Improvements tot exterior fagade of
buildings that are designated. (i) Historic Significant Fndangered ("'JAS E") or (ii) as
Historic and Cultural Iandmark, (11U) by the City or, as a condition precedent to
receipt. of funding, will be designated as such upon completion of the designation
process.
• nses Administrative vFx q----------------------------p
ii. Future Improvernents
There are no future projects contemplated during the term of the TIF. However, the City
Council reserves the right to consider amendments tote Plan if subsequent proJects ar e
identified by the TIF Board as appropriate and eligible for tax increment funding.
iii. Economic Development Program Grants (Chapter 380 Agreements)
The Board is authorized to enter into economic development program grants pursuant
to Chapter 380 of the 'rexas Local Government Code ("Chapter 380 Agreements") for
prcjects located within the boundaries of the TIF as authorized by and in accordance
with Section 31 1.010(h) oft Texas Tax Code, if one of the following two criteria is
met:
• The Chapter 380 Agreement supports a project that will utilize Federal
and/or State historic tax credits and the financing of the project is
demonstrated to be contingent on the use of those credits; or
• The Chapter 380 Agreement supports a project that is located on a
property owned by any oft e taxing entities participating in the TIF.
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
12
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 in 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 within 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
in turn.
(a) Taxable Appraised Value for 2014 (the Base Value). Table 1 sets forth the
total taxable appraised value of property in the zone (estimated to be $171,822,838), 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 in the zone over the life of the TIF (estimated to be approximately
$808,347,140 in year 2034).
(c) Expected Annual Growth of the Zone's Taxable Real Property. 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 in total and from each taxing entity is outlined on Table 1.
(d) Participation by Tax Units. Although each taxing entity has not agreed to a
specific level of participation, the financial projections set forth in the Plan anticipates that
the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Tarrant County College, and Tarrant Regional Water
District will participate in the zone, by contributing fifty percent (50%) of each entity's tax
increment with respect to the zone.
(e) Projected Tax Rates. Property tax rates are assumed to remain constant.
(f) Projected Collection Rates. The Plan 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, 2035, beginning with that zone tax increment generated by the 2015 tax
appraisal and ending with that zone tax increment generated by the 2034 tax appraisal.
M. Estimated Payment of Project Costs
Based on the assumptions and estimates set forth in the information above, it is expected that
the zone tax increment will be sufficient to pay in full all project costs (including interest).
iv. Tax Exemptions Issued by Participating Taxing Entities
13
All taxing entities that participate in the zone shall retain the right to grant tax exemptions as
permitted by applicable law to properties located in the zone for purposes including but not
limited to 1) historic preservation and restoration and 2) homestead exemptions. This shall
not include any form of tax abatement or grant of tax funds collected by either of the
participating taxing entities without prior approval by the TIF Board pursuant to Section
311.013(f) of the Texas Tax Code.
