Title
Consider approving Resolution No. 2017-009 authorizing execution of a Residential Demolition/Rebuild Program Incentive Agreement for the owner of the property located at 13767 Littlecrest; 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:
Applicants Hector and Magda Hidalgo are 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.
