BACKGROUND:
The Neighborhood Partnership Program was established in 2017 to build collaborative and sustainable partnerships with the community through neighborhood enhancement projects. Community-driven projects help preserve Farmers Branch's cultural identity while looking to a sustainable future. The City approved a fund-matching structure cap at $50,000 for neighborhoods that want to create lasting enhancements. Sign toppers, entry features, neighborhood exterior walls, enhancing common areas, and public art are examples of potential projects.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant(s) residing at 2525 Charlie Bird Pkwy, known as the HOA, have applied for the Neighborhood Partnership Program to assist in rehabilitating landscaping in public-facing common areas. Work includes replacing dead landscaping with drought-resistant Texas native plants and shrubs and new crushed granite. The applicant is requesting a 50% reimbursement of the total project costs of $6,394, of which the City’s portion would be $3,467.
