Title
Consider approving Resolution No. 2016-123 authorizing execution of a Residential Demolition/Rebuild Program Incentive Agreement for the owner of the property located at 12711 Epps Field; and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
In an effort to improve the quality of housing opportunities in Farmers Branch, the City Council enacted a Residential Demolition/Rebuild Program pursuant to Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code to encourage the redevelopment of existing single-family detached residential properties with the construction of new, higher value, single-family detached residential structures.
DISCUSSION:
Applicant Todd Bonneau Homes is applying for the new Demo Rebuild incentive. This includes an incentive that is based on the increase over the course of five (5) years in the City Property taxes paid on the difference between the original home appraised value (excluding the land value), as determined by the Dallas County Appraisal District. This option also includes a reimbursement of up to $15,000.00 of the cost of demolition of the original home following completion of demolition. Demolition of the original home and completion of construction and occupancy of the new home must be within 24 months of the effective date of the incentive agreement signed with the City. The current improvement value is $67,850 and the estimated new improvement value is estimated to be at least $400,000.
