Body
BACKGROUND:
In an effort to improve the quality of housing opportunities in the Farmers Branch, the City Council enacted a Residential Demolition/Rebuild Program pursuant to Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code. This encourages the redevelopment of existing single-family detached residential properties by constructing new, higher-value, single-family detached residential structures.
DISCUSSION:
Applicant Todd Bonneau Homes is applying for the Demolition Rebuild incentive for an existing residence located at 14272 Southern Pines, which has an improved valuation (excluding the land value) of $193,330. The incentive for this range ($150,000 and over) includes a seven-year rebate of municipal taxes based on the difference between the original and new home appraised value (excluding the land value), as determined by the Dallas County Appraisal District.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Administration recommends approving Resolution No. 2024-015 authorizing execution of a Residential Demolition/Rebuild Program Incentive Agreement for the owner of property located at 14272 Southern Pines.
