As allowed by Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code, the TIE District comprises two non contiguous sub-districts—the Montfort-IH 635 Sub-District for the Valley View Center Mall area in northern Dallas and the Westmoreland-IH 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-IH 20 Sub-District is generally bounded by Westmoreland Road, Camp Wisdom Road, Highway 67 (Marvin D. Love Freeway), and Interstate Highway 20 (LBJ Freeway). The Westmoreland-IH 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 TIE 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 TIE 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 160348 Mall Area Redevelopment TIF District FY 2015 Annual Report TIF District Accomplishments FY 2014 • The City Council established (i.e. designated) the Mall Area Redevelopment TIF District by Ordinance Number 29340 in May 2014. FY 2015 • The City Council approved By-Laws for the Board of Directors by Resolution Number 15-1143 in June 2015. • The City Council approved the Project Plan and Reinvestment Zone Financing Plan by Ordinance Number 29771 in June 2015. • The Dallas County Commissioners Court approved the participation of Dallas County in the Mall Area Redevelopment TIE District by Court Order 2015-1122 in August 2015. • The TIE Board approved a Grant Program and associated Guidelines to implement the Project Plan and Reinvestment Zone Financing Plan for the Mall Area Redevelopment TIE District in September 2015. o The TIF Board approved Urban Design Guidelines for Projects located in TIE Districts in the City of Dallas to be applied to the Mall Area Redevelopment TIE District in September 2015. • Specifically in the Montfort-IH 635 Sub-District, staff coordinated extensively with several development groups regarding prospective projects, including detailed TIE incentive negotiations with an entity led by Jeffrey and Scott Beck on a planned “Dallas Midtown Phase 1” catalyst project on the site of the existing Valley View Center Mall. Components of the project received preliminary review by the City’s Urban Design Peer Review Panel (UDPRP) in March and May 2015. Beck Ventures formally submitted an application for TIE incentives in late April 2015 but subsequently withdrew the application in late July 2015. • Specifically in the Westmoreland-IH 20 Sub-District, staff coordinated with several investors considering a potential bid to purchase the in-line portion of Southwest Center Mall, including detailed incentive negotiations with the winning bidder, an entity led by Peter Brodsky. Value and Increment Revenue Summary The base value of the zone is the total appraised value of all taxable real property in the TIE District as determined by the Dallas Central Appraisal District in the 2014 certified 5 160348 Mall Area Redevelopment TIF District FY 2015 Annual Report roll. The TIF District’s base value was $168,357,630 ($148,591,740 in the Montfort-IH 635 Sub-District and $19,765,890 in the Westmoreland-IH 20 Sub-District). In 2015, the total appraised value of all taxable real property in the TIE District as determined by the Dallas Central Appraisal District in the 2015 certified roll was $170,084,490, representing an increase of $1 726,860 (1.0%) over the base year. Eor the individual sub-districts, the total appraised value of all taxable real property in the Montfort-IH 635 Sub-District in 2015 was $149,713,500, representing an increase of $1,121,760 (0.8%) over the base year, and the total appraised value of all taxable real property in the Westmoreland-IH 20 Sub-District in 2015 was $20,370,990, representing an increase of $605,100 (3.1%) over the base year. The positive increase in the TIE District’s tax base is primarily attributed to slightly appreciating property values. In future years, the TIE District will report captured incremental tax revenue deposited into the TIE fund. However, because the City’s participation and the County’s participation in the TIE District are both 0% for tax year 2015, there will be no captured incremental tax revenue deposited into the TIE fund for tax year 2015. Objectives, Programs, and Success Indicators The final Project Plan and Reinvestment Zone Einancing Plan for the Mall Area Redevelopment TIE District was approved in June 2015. The following goals are included in the Project Plan and Reinvestment Zone Einancing Plan: • Goal 1: To create additional taxable value attributed to new private investment in projects in the Montfort-IH 635 Sub-District totaling approximately $3.92 billion in total dollars over the 30-year life of the Sub-District.
