Mission Statement

The mission of the Fort Worth Avenue TIF District is to provide a source of funding forpublic infrastructure improvements necessary to enhance the real estate market for theFort Worth Avenue TIE District area. The Fort Worth Avenue TIE District represents theoutgrowth of the City of Dallas’ effort to provide a model for redeveloping urbancorridors to take full advantage of the Trinity River project, the signature SantiagoCalatrava bridges, and the undeveloped/underdeveloped land parcels near downtownDallas.

The Fort Worth Avenue TIE District was proposed in April 2007 to assist the creation ofa more sustainable mix of rental and for-sale residential property in the Fort WorthAvenue area. This shift will help to encourage the creation of more owner-occupiedresidential units and mixed-use development, the removal and redevelopment ofstructurally obsolete apartment complexes and retail centers, and the facilitation ofnecessary environmental remediation and redevelopment of the property near theTrinity River and downtown Dallas, as well as better trail and recreational connections.

The Dallas City Council established the Fort Worth Avenue TIE District by OrdinanceNumber 26798 on June 13, 2007. The Fort Worth Avenue District began to collect fundson January 1, 2008, and it is scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2029 (includingcollection of the 2029 increment in calendar year 2030 and any related matters to beconcluded in 2030) or when the budget of $69.4 million (2008 dollars) has beencollected. The City of Dallas and Dallas County are the two participating jurisdictions.The City’s participation essentially follows a bell curve, beginning with 0 percent in2008. It increases to 55 percent in 2009 and 2010, then 70 percent in 2011 through2013, then 85 percent for 2014 through 2020. It then decreases to 70 percent for 2021and 2022 and decreases to 55 percent thereafter. The County’s participation was 0% in2008 and increased to 55% in 2009 and thereafter.

District Accomplishments

The Fort Worth Avenue TIE District is generally bounded by commercial and multifamily residential properties along the Fort Worth Avenue corridor between the TrinityRiver and Hartsdale Avenue. The district encompasses underutilized and/ordeteriorated commercial, industrial, residential, and multi-family residential propertiesalong the Fort Worth Avenue corridor. The district contains a mix of uses, primarilycomposed of existing industrial and commercial structures, vacant and abandonedoffice structures, surface parking lots, and undeveloped property. Strengths of thedistrict include proximity to downtown and the future Santiago Calatrava bridges,planned transit service improvements, Coombs Creek, and the surrounding stable,single-family neighborhoods.

One project, the Belmont Hotel, was completed adjacent to the district in 2005. Severaladditional projects have begun or are expected to commence during the first few yearsof the district:

Value and Increment Revenue Summary

The Fort Worth Avenue TIF District’s base tax value for 2007 was $86,133,447. Thisbase value reflects a boundary amendment approved in March 2008 and adjustments tothe base to reflect the final 2007 values of the parcels in the district. The district’s 2010assessed tax value, as determined by the Dallas Central Appraisal District, was$103,068,602. This represents an increase of approximately $16.9 million (19.7%) overthe assessed value of the base year (2007) value and an increase of approximately$5.4 million (5.5%) over the previous year. Although many properties fell in value,Avalon at Kessler Park rose by about $6 million, canceling out many of the losses Withthe participation of the City and Dallas County, this increase will result in the collectionof approximately $96,878 total in incremental revenue for the district.

Objectives, Programs, and Success Indicators

The final Fort Worth Avenue Project Plan and Reinvestment Zone Financing Plan wasadopted on March 26, 2008. The Final Project Plan addresses the followingdevelopment goals and objectives:

• Create additional taxable value attributable to new private investment in projects in theFort Worth Avenue TIF District totaling approximately $1,290,239,340 over the term ofthe district.

Completed projects have added approximately $8.5 million to the value ofthe district. Projects currently under construction are expected to generatean additional $50 million in added taxable value. Currently anticipatedprojects within the district may contribute approximately $150 million morein additional taxable value; however, many of these planned projects arecurrently on hold.

Actual values are up by approximately $17 million over the base. Thisincrease is approximately 1% of the goal for the area.

• Attract new, higher density, private development in the Fort Worth Avenue TIFDistrict totaling approximately 1,033,910 square feet of retail space and 9,444residential units including townhome, multi-family, single-family, andcondominium projects.

Construction has started at the Villas at the Belmont and has completedon A va/on at Kessler Park (formerly the Fairways at La Reunion).

Page 15: Avenue area pursuant to Ordinance No. 26798, authorized by

Exhibit A - Fort Worth Avenue TIF District FY 2010 Annual Report

Planned projects within the district may add 209,000 additional square feetof retail space (20% of goal) and approximately 1,170 residential units(12% of goal).

• Focus on encouraging the redevelopment of properties in the Fort Worth Avenuecorridor to increase density and to provide enhanced urban design for the districtthat meets the intent of the Fort Worth Avenue Corridor Land Use and UrbanDesign Study and the requirements of the West Commerce Street/Fort WorthAvenue Special Purpose District (PD 714), adopted by Ordinance No. 25898 onFebruary 23, 2005, as amended.

The planned La Reunion Town Center will provide a pedestrian-oriented,dense, mixed-use development to replace low-density, two-storyapartment buildings.

The Villas at the Belmont, currently under development by Options RealEstate, will provide, at build-out, 34 new townhomes on previously vacantland near Sylvan Avenue.

The Flats at the Belmont and Merchant Homes at the Belmont, currentlyplanned by Options Real Estate Development, are expected to provide 60new condominium units and 14 new live/work units on land previouslyoccupied by one single-family house.

SyIvan Thirty, a mixed-use residential and retail development, is expectedto add 200 multi-family units and 41,000 square feet of retail on previouslyunder-utilized land.

The Coombs Creek Trait, Trinity Overlook, West Dallas Signature Project,Fort Worth Avenue Streetscape Improvements, reconstruction of WestCommerce and Beckley, reconstruction of Beatrice, and the Sylvan Planwill provide public infrastructure projects that comply with PD 714 andprovide wide sidewalks, street trees, and pedestrian amenities central tothe dense urban design as envisioned in the Urban Design Study and asrequired in PD 714. These projects add an additional $11,950,407 in nonTIF funds for district-related projects.

• Improve access and connections to the planned improvement of transit services,including a light rail or modern streetcar line, within the district.

The TIF board has appointed three members to design review committeethat will develop design guidelines for the district. These guidelines willcover both public and private design elements. This document isexpected to be completed by June 2011

City of Dallas, TexasFort Worth Avenue Tax Increment Financing District

Notes to Financial Statements for the Year Ended September 30, 2010

The measurement focus used for the TIF Zone fund is a flow of financial resources. Thefinancial statements are prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under themodified accrual basis of accounting, tax increment revenues and interest are recognized asrevenue when they become both ‘measurable’ and “available’ to finance expenditures of thecurrent period. Expenditures are recognized when the liability is incurred.

2. State statute requires that each taxing jurisdiction remit its ad valorem taxes to the Zone byMay 1 of each year (remittance to occur no more than 90 days after taxes for the jurisdictionbecome delinquent).

3, The Zone’s cash balances are invested in the City’s investment pool and earn pro ratainterest. The City invests in U.S. Treasury and Agency securities with maturities which areless than five years and money market mutual funds rated Aaa or AAAm. The weightedaverage maturity of the portfolio is less than 365 days.

4. The Zone’s Financial Plan permits expenditures not to exceed $4,334,643 over the life of theTIF to reimburse the City for administrative costs. The Zone incurred $43,139 inadministrative costs for fiscal year 2009-10 and began reimbursing the general fund. Anyfuture remittance for administrative expenses would come from excess cash as tax incrementrevenue increases as a result of increased assessed values.
