Action Requested: Approve Resolution 14-016 as noted above. Background Information: In October 2007, Hines Southlake Land Limited Partnership ("Hines") acquired approximately 285 acres along the north side of S.H. 114 between White Chapel and Carroll Avenue for the Carillon mixed -use development. They began their entitlement applications and processing in mid-2008 and received City Council approval in November 2008. On August 17, 2010, the City of Southlake entered into a Chapter 380 Incentive agreement ("Agreement") with Hines via adoption of Resolution 10-014. This Agreement outlined terms for incentives related to the Carillon development and focused on the following items: • White Chapel Blvd • Kirkwood Blvd • Public Parks • Retail Parking Garages • Public Art The Agreement also included the following primary aspects: • Performance based: In order for Hines to receive any incentive grants, the improvements must be constructed and generating revenues for the City, a portion of which we then return to Hines. • Includes the use of General Fund revenues generated by the development as follows: Resolution 14-016 Page 2 of 11 o Ad Valorem taxes from real and personal property from the commercial properties only. There is a cap such that incentives granted shall never exceed 50% of the revenues received. o Sales taxes from the 1 % that goes to General fund. There is a cap such that incentives granted shall never exceed 50% of the revenues received. The .5% that goes to SPDC and the .5% that goes to CCPD are untouched as a revenue source and all revenues received go to the designated Special Revenue Fund. • All incentives are capped not to exceed 10 years in duration. • Hines committed to constructing White Chapel Blvd. in a full 4-lane section from S.H. 114 to the northern line of their property and is obligated for 50% of the cost of the east two lanes and the City is obligated for the other 50% of the east two lanes as well as 100% of the west two lanes and north -bound left turn lanes. Hines covers 100% of all turn lanes dedicated to their project. • Roadway Impact Fees generated by the development are utilized as a grant towards a portion of the cost of constructing Kirkwood Boulevard. • The development includes Hines' dedication of over 50 acres of public parks to the City; however, Hines retained the obligation to maintain these parks in perpetuity. The Agreement specifies that the City would grant an incentive equal to the lesser of 50% of the cost of the constructed improvements or caps as identified in the agreement. • The City would provide an incentive grant not to exceed 40% of the retail parking garages constructed on the property. • Public Art: The Agreement specifies that 15% of the Hotel Occupancy Taxes (HOT) generated annually by a hotel within the development would be granted to Hines in an amount not to exceed 50% of the costs of the public art installed.
