As allowed by Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code, the TIF District comprises two non- contiguous sub-districts-the Montfort-lH 635 Sub-District for the Valley View Center Mall area in northern Dallas and the Westmoreland-lH 20 Sub-District for the Southwest Center Mall area in southern Dallas. The Montfort-lH 635 Sub-District is generally bounded by Alpha Road, Preston Road, Noel Road, and Interstate Highway 635 (LBJ Freeway).The Montfort-lH 635 Sub-District encompasses approximately 173.9 acres, not including rights-of-way. The Montfort-lH 635 Sub-District is recommended by and consistent with the City's adopted Valley View- Galleria Area Plan (2013) and serves as a long-term funding tool to help implement the shared vision for the area by further leveraging other implementation tools (PD 887 form- based zoning and Thoroughfare Plan amendments) enacted by the City Council. The Westmoreland-lH 20 Sub-District is generally bounded by Westmoreland Road, Camp Wisdom Road, Highway 67 (Marvin D. Love Freeway), and lnterstate Highway 20 (LBJ Freeway). The Westmoreland-lH 20 Sub-District encompasses approximately 96.6 acres, not including rights-of-way. The Westmoreland-lH 20 Sub-District is recommended by and consistent with the City-sponsored Advisory Services Panel report entitled "Southwest Center Mall" published by the Urban Land Institute (2009) and serves as a long-term funding tool to help implement many of the report's recommendations over time. The mission of the TIF District is to provide a source of funding for a program of public infrastructure improvements, economic development grants, and land acquisition/assembly for public open space, which is intended to stimulate private investment in each mall area to occur earlier and to a much greater extent than would occur solely through private investment in the reasonably foreseeable future. Originally, the Valley View Center Mall and the Southwest Center Mall were created by complex configurations of super-blocks, private land ownership, and reciprocal easement agreements that bound multiple owners together. Over the last decade as market conditions have shifted significantly, these same configurations have heavily burdened each mall area, making redevelopment and revitalization extremely difficult without public participation. With the assistance of this TIF District, each mall area is to be reconfigured into a traditional pattern of public streets, public open space, public infrastructure, and smaller parcels of private land ownership, thereby setting the stage for incremental redevelopment that is flexible to meet market demands and community needs. 4 e OCI 34 g Mall Area Redevelopment TIF District FY 2018-2019 Annual Report TfF District Accomplishments in FY 2018-2019 a ln July 2018, Mill Creek Residential Trust LLC began construction on a new 344- unit apartment community on 3.2 acres located at 13001 Cornell Drive in the Montfort-lH 635 Sub-District. Known as Modera Dallas Midtown, the project will be 5 stories (approximately 417,928 square feet) wrapping a structured parking garage. The total estimated value when complete is approximately $32 million. Construction continued throughout FY 2018-2019 and is anticipated to be completed in early-mid FY 2019-2020. a Following on the footsteps of City Council's approval in February 2018 of an amendment to the City of Dallas Thoroughfare Plan to change the dimensional classification of Montfort Drive from Alpha Road to lnterstate Highway (lH)-635 from a special six-lane divided (SPCL 60) roadway within 117 feet of right-of-way with 92 feet of pavement with bike lanes to a special four-lane divided (SPCL 40) roadway within 80 feet of right-of-way with bicycle facilities, City Council approved Resolution No. 19-0170 in January 2A19 to authorize a professional services contract (not to exceed $468,246) with Lockwood Andrews & Newnam, lnc. (LAN) for the engineering design of a complete street project on Montfort Drive from Interstate Highway 635 frontage road to Alpha Road. The contract was executed in February 2019, and LAN was issued a notice to proceed. a ln March 2019, pursuant to Cause No. DC-18-13452 in the 298th District Court, the City (Plaintiff) executed a Settlement Agreement with TX Dallas Midtown, L.P. (Defendant and owner of the in-line portion of Valley View Mall, the former Dillard's anchor building, the former JC Penney's anchor building, and the appurtenant parking structure) in order to settle all existing claims connected to Defendant's alleged violations of the Dallas City Code. With the settlement, the Defendant agreed to a $1 million penalty, but the penalty was eligible for reduction pending the Defendant's successful performance of eleven requirements, specifically including the completion of environmental remediation and demolition by e er anchor building, the former JC Penney's anchor building, and the appurtenant parking structure (note: required demolition did not include the existing AMC movie theater). As of the end of September 2019, the Defendant had performed the first ten requirements and was on track to complete the eleventh requirement by the December 31, 2019 deadline. a ln May 2019, Seritage Growth Properties, owner of approximately 23 acres of the Valley View Mall site, held a ground-breaking event to promote the commencement of demolition of the former Sears anchor building as well as site preparation activities to make way for Park Heritage, a new mixed-use project with phased development plans for almost 2 million square feet of offices, apartments, and retail/restaurant space to be built in partnership with KDC and Toll Brothers.
