A RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH A DOWNTOWN BUILDING REHABILITATION MATCHING INCENTIVE PROGRAM FOR BUILDINGS LOCATED IN THE DOWNTOWN HISTORIC COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. Person presenting this item: Grady Easdon, Director of Economic Development BRIEF: As one component of the City of Cleburne’s Strategic Plan for fiscal year 2018, a line item for $50,000 was allocated to an economic development program that would encourage downtown building owners to invest in repairs, upgrades, and enhancements in the form of a matching incentive of 50% of the cost of eligible building repairs up to a maximum of $25,000 per 12-month period per building owner. Building owners with multiple tenants would be eligible for one incentive per 12- month period from completion of any previous project under this program. Based on staff recommendation and Council direction to proceed, this resolution seeks to serve as a catalyst for increased downtown economic development. Although this program is primarily geared toward assisting downtown building owners with financial assistance to help offset the high cost of rehabilitating these older structures, the program may accelerate the rehabilitation of buildings that have fallen into various states of disrepair, and could potentially attract new business owners to the downtown area due to availability of these incentives.

Total cost of this project for improvements is $28,112.93; therefore $5,000 would be the maximum match by the City. Funding for the Façade Improvement Economic Development Incentive Program was approved during the September 12, 2017 meeting of the City Council.

RS4. A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CHAPTER 380 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH BELLE LAGOS, LLC THROUGH THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM. Person presenting this item: Grady Easdon, Director of Economic Development BRIEF: This is a proposed amendment to a Chapter 380 Agreement (“Agreement”) made in September of 2016 with Belle Lagos, LLC. The 380 Agreement set out conditions for incentives granted as part of the City’s 1,000 Home program. Belle Lagos Phase I is a 51-lot development located west of South Nolan River Road and at the west end of Westhill Drive. The developer indicated that they were delayed in the project due to their inability to complete construction of infrastructure. The developer stated that they had to procure special equipment in order to excavate through layers of solid rock, and that they also encountered difficulty in getting the 3-phase electrical for Total’s (formerly Chesapeake) abutting gas well pad site relocated. As a result of these delays, no homes have been constructed. The original agreement stipulated that 20 homes must be completed by December 31, 2017, followed by a total of 40 completed in 2018 and a total of 51 completed in 2019 in order to be eligible for incentives under the 1,000 Home program. The proposed amendment to the Agreement would modify the minimum number of homes completed from 20 homes by December 31, 2017 to 30 homes by December 31, 2018. The amendment also stipulates that the term of the amended agreement will be four (4) years, with all construction of phase I being completed by December 31, 2019. The new term coincides with the expiration term of the original agreement, which was five (5) years.
