BACKGROUND:
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:
The applicants, David Shiner and Leslie Allsopp are applying for the demolition/rebuild incentive for an existing residence located at 12805 Epps Field Road, which has an improved valuation (excluding the land value) of $56,250. The incentive for this range ($65,000 and less) includes a three-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, and a $30,000 cash grant.
