5 Mission Statement The Mall Area Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District (TIE District) represents the City of Dallas effort to encourage the sustainable redevelopment of properties including and around two obsolete shopping malls while taking advantage of each area s strategic regional location at the crossroads of key transportation corridors. 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 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 formbased 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

6 TIF District Accomplishments FY 2014 The City Council established (i.e. designated) the Mall Area Redevelopment TIF District by Ordinance Number in May FY 2015 The City Council approved By-Laws for the Board of Directors by Resolution Number in June The City Council approved the Project Plan and Reinvestment Zone Financing Plan by Ordinance Number in June The Dallas County Commissioners Court approved the participation of Dallas County in the Mall Area Redevelopment TIE District by Court Order in August 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 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 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 Beck Ventures formally submitted an application for TIE incentives in late April 2015 but subsequently withdrew the application in late July 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

7 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 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 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. Goal 2: To create additional taxable value attributed to new private investment in projects in the Westmoreland-lH 20 Sub-District totaling approximately $295.2 million in total dollars over the 30-year life of the Sub-District. Goal 3: To attract new higher density private development in the Montfort-IH 635 Sub-District totaling approximately 707,870 square feet of new retail space; 72,991 square feet of renovated movie theater; 3,987,022 square feet of new office space; 957 new hotel rooms; and 7,674 new residential units (including apartments and condominiums). Goal 4: To attract new higher density private development in the Westmoreland IH 20 Sub-District totaling approximately 140,000 square feet of new retail space; 45,000 square feet of movie theater; 70,000 square feet of new office space; 80 new hotel rooms; and 1,620 new residential units (including apartments and town homes). Goal 5: To encourage the sustainable redevelopment of properties including and around two severely declining shopping malls in a manner in which negative fiscal 6

8 impacts for the remainder of the City are limited and a walkable development pattern is achieved that is a net benefit to the City from a fiscal, land use, and quality of life standpoint. Goal 6: To increase public open space in the District. Goal 7: To generate approximately $431.4 million (net present value of approximately $182.5 million in 2014 dollars) in TIF fund revenues over the 30- year life of the District.

15 City of Dallas, Texas Mall Area Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District (Reinvestment Zone #20) Notes to Financial Statements for the Year Ended September 30, The measurement focus used for the TIE Zone fund is a flow of financial resources. The financial statements are prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, tax increment revenues and interest are recognized as revenue when they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are recognized when the liability is incurred. 2. State statute requires that each taxing jurisdiction remit its ad valorem taxes to the Zone by May 1 of each year (remittance to occur no more than 90 days after taxes for the jurisdiction become delinquent). 3. The TIE Zone fund s cash balances are invested in the City s investment pool and include amounts in demand deposits as well as short-term investments. Pooled investments and short-term non-pooled investments are treated as cash equivalents. Investment income on the pooled investments is prorated monthly based upon the average daily cash balance in each fund. 4. The TIE Zone s Einancing Plan permits expenditures not to exceed $7,684,059 over the life of the TIE Zone to reimburse the City for administrative expenditures. Through FY 2015, the TIE Zone had recognized an actual total of $401,601 in administrative expenditures, comprised of the following: (1) $47,562 in staff time for FY 2015, which will be reimbursed to the City s General Eund upon collection of sufficient increment anticipated in FY 2017; (2) $98,002 in staff time for EY 2014, which will be reimbursed to the City s General Eund upon collection of sufficient increment anticipated in EY 2017; (3) $248,137 in a grant to the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce for the Valley View-Galleria Area Planning Study, which will be reimbursed to the City s Public/Private Partnership Eund upon collection of sufficient increment anticipated in EY 2017; and (4) $7,900 for real property appraisal services necessary to assist the City with implementation, which will be reimbursed to the City s Public/Private Partnership Fund upon collection of sufficient increment anticipated in FY Any future remittance for administrative expenditures would come from excess cash as tax increment revenue increases as a result of increased assessed values. 5. In the Balance Sheet, the due to other funds amount of $401,601 at September 30, 2015 represents the TIE Zone s administrative costs that have been earned but will be reimbursed to the City s General Fund and Public/Private Partnership Fund in future years based on availability of TIF funds. 6. All project costs resulting in capital improvements which are owned by the City are capitalized in the City s fixed assets. 14
