Title
Consider A Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Enter Into A Demolition Grant and Rehabilitation Incentive Agreement On An Eligible Property Located At 1505 Jackson St. And Located Within A Neighborhood Empowerment Zone, In A Total Grant Amount Not To Exceed $12,061.10.
Body
BACKGROUND:
In November of 2014, City Council adopted the Demolition and Rehabilitation Grant Incentive policy. This program provides monetary reimbursement for up to 100% of the cost of demolition of the existing structure and a single incentive payment equivalent to a ten-year abatement of the municipal ad valorem property tax. This program has been marketed throughout the qualifying zones with special outreach focused on NOTICE neighborhoods.
The homeowners of 1505 Jackson St. have applied for a demolition and rehabilitation incentive to rebuild a new home. The home was previously demolished prior to the applicant’s submittal and the demolition cost is not eligible for the incentive. The property is located in a Neighborhood Empowerment Zone and meets the eligibility requirements of the incentive grant program. The application has been reviewed by the Environmental Services Department and was unanimously approved by the Re-Development Committee.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
These rehabilitation incentives are funded through the Neighborhood Partnership Fund. Since 2018, a total of ten projects have been approved by City Council
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
The demolition and rehabilitation incentives offer significant tools to prevent blight in Carrollton’s older neighborhoods. Revitalizing housing is a key component of the rehabilitation grant program and City Council’s community sustainability objectives.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends City Council approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Demolition Grant and Rehabilitation Incentive Agreement with Zoraya Moran in an amount not to exceed $12,061.10.
