CONTINUED FROM A PREVIOUS WEEK
DATE Tuesday January 13 2004
LOG NAME 05W7THNEZ REFERENCE NO G-14223
SUBJECT
Designation. of the West 7th Street/University Drive Area as a Neighborhood Empowerment Zone
and Fort Worth Neighborhood Empowerment Reinvestment Zone
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Adopt a resolution to designate the West 7th Street/University Drive area as a Neighborhood Empower
ment Zone (NEZ) and
2. Hold a public hearing concerning the designation of the West 7th Street/University Drive area as Fort
Worth Neighborhood Empowerment Reinvestment Zone (FWNERZ) No 14 and
3 Adopt an ordinance to designate the West 7th Street/University Drive area as FWNERZ No 14
pursuant to the Texas Property Redevelopment and Tax Abatement Act, Tax Code Chapter 312.
DISCUSSION
I. Resolution on NEZ Designation
In March 2002 the City Council approved preliminary boundaries for twelve urban villages and a
recommendation to make mixed-use zoning a prerequisite for NEZ designation. The West 7th Street/
University Drive urban village has completed the mixed-use rezoning process as approved by the City
Council on .January 6 2004.. The NEZ boundaries are shown on the Exhibit A map
The boundaries of the proposed NEZ are White Settlement Road on the north Bailey Avenue Arch Adams
Street, Camp Bowie Boulevard and Margaret Street on the west, University Drive and Foch Street on the
east, and Crestline Road and Interstate Highway 30 on the south (Exhibit A rnap) The West 7th
Street/University Drive NEZ has a population of 4,215 persons and an area of 0 95 square miles. The West
7th Street/University Drive NEZ meets the following designation requirements under the City's NEZ
policy
1) Promotes economic development and increases in the quality of services as stated in the Central
City Commercial Corridor Revitalization Strategy and
2) Has an area of less than 1 5 square miles (0 95) and
3) Is at least 50% within the Central City and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) eligible
areas (the proposed West 7th Street/University Drive NEZ area is 79% within the Central City and
79% within the CDBG eligible area) and
Logname: OSW7THNEZ Page 1 of 2
4) Is considered distressed based on census data on population socio-demographic and other factors
(according to the 2000 Census the West 7th Street/University Drive area has a median household
income of $33 375 and a poverty rate of 16 1 % for persons 18 years old and over compared to the
citywide median household income of $37 074 and a poverty rate of 13 6%) and
5) Meets criteria for Reinvestment Zone designation (see Reinvestment Zone section below)
The West 7th Street/University Drive area therefore meets all the requirements for NEZ designation The
resolution to designate the area as a NEZ is hereby attached to this Mayor and Council Communication.
II. Public Hearing and Ordinance on FWNERZ Designation
One of the incentives a municipality can provide in a NEZ, according to Chapter 378 of the Texas Local
Government Code is an abatement of municipal .property taxes for properties in the NEZ. In order to
accomplish this the West 7th Street/University Drive area would need to be designated as a reinvestment
zone.
The Texas Property Redevelopment and Tax Abatement Act (the Act) requires a public hearing Notice of
the public hearing was (1) delivered to the governing body of each affected taxing unit and (2) published in
a newspaper of general circulation at least seven days prior to the public meeting The Act requires the
property receiving an abatement to be located in a reinvestment or enterprise zone
The proposed area meets the criteria for the designation of a reinvestment zone because the area is
reasonably likely as a result of the designation to contribute to the retention. or expansion of primary
employment, or to attract major investment in the zone that would be a benefit to the property and
contribute to the economic development of the municipality Further future improvements in the zone will
be a benefit to the City after any tax abatement agreements have expired The designation of a
reinvestment zone expires after five years and may be renewed for periods not to exceed five years.
Maps of zoning consistency with the Comprehensive Plan for the proposed West 7th University NEZ are
attached to this Mayor and Council Communication
The proposed West 7th Street/University Drive NEZ is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 7 and 9
