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 Christopher and Jennifer Williams are applying for the Demo Rebuild incentive for an existing residence located at 14607 Tanglewood Drive which has an improved valuation (excluding the land value) of $86,430. The incentive for this improvement range ($65,001 - $100,000) includes a cash grant of up to $20,000.00 following completion of demolition and certificate of occupancy as well as a four (4) year rebate of municipal taxes based on the difference between the original home appraised value (excluding the land value), as determined by the Dallas County Appraisal District.
