5. Review and discuss the Village at Colleyville Tax Increment Financing
District Agreement
Finance Director Terry Leake provided an overview of the process for calculating
the TIF payments to The Village at Colleyville.
Discussion ensued regarding the projected Village at Colleyville TIF value versus
the current value.
Director Newton stated, "the development has the largest TIF agreement in the
City of Colleyville at 7.5 million dollars and it was put in place to incentify the
development to develop rapidly and to develop commercial and residential, it was
specifically zoned to insure residential was contained and limited and the
developer has requested that it be changed. I recommend that the City Council
ask the developer to be willing to renegotiate how the TIF is structured to put it
back in consistency with the original base line. I am taking the original zoning
and original TIF agreement as the base line that was the agreement; that is fair,
and if you want to change parameters on one side, you should adjust the other
side to retain the original intent of incenting. I would like for the Board to agree to
request that the Council, if they choose, to move forward with the zoning and
before they approve. any zoning, they ask the developer to agree to renegotiate
around those parameters and pull in the timeframe for development."
There was general consensus among the Board to agree with the
recommendation.
Discussion ensued regarding the advantages and disadvantages of renegotiating
the proposed zoning request and structure of the TIF agreement.
Director Ayers requested that the City Attorney provide information regarding the
relationship of renegotiating the proposed zoning and contract zoning.
City Attorney Matthew Boyle stated the provision in the agreement that was
previously read, notes that the agreement can only be amended upon mutual
agreement of the parties. He further stated that the City cannot under any
circumstances unilaterally amend the TIF agreement. At the same time, the City
cannot make any condition of zoning directly tied to any consideration up, down

or indifferent in respect to the TIF agreement. And so, if you anticipated a
hypothetical dialogue between the City and the developer, such as, we would like
to hold up your zoning pending a discussion of your agreement, you end up with
a cart versus the horse discussion here of why in the world would the developer
agree to amend his agreement in a matter that is unfavorable to him if he doesn't
have a corresponding assurance on the other side. It is this corresponding
assurance on the other side from the zoning standpoint, which would be illegal
contract zoning. And as such, the City could not provide that kind of assurance.
