These prospective redevelopment areas contain significant amounts of undeveloped/underdeveloped land parcels that would not be developed without public assistance. The TOD TIF District (the “District”) was established in December 2008 to help create a series of unique destinations, as well as foster the construction or structures or facilities that will be useful or beneficial to the development of transit stations along the DART light rail system in the central portion of the City. Chapter 311 of the Tax Code was amended in 2007 to provide for the creation of a reinvestment zone of this nature. Chapter 311 permits the designation of an area as a reinvestment zone when the use of the land within the zone is in connection with and beneficial to the operation of a mass transit rail system. Redevelopment of the Lancaster Corridor and encouragement of transit-oriented mixed- use development (TOD5) around DART stations are top City priorities. Linkage of areas proximate to the Lovers Lane/Mockingbird, Cedars West and the Lancaster Corridor transit stations via the DART Rail Lines facilitates higher density urban development in all areas and permits tax increment sharing to occur.
