6. Open Space (TIF) Majestic Courtyard The Majestic Courtyard is located in the Houston Street TIRZ #9 and is only one of many Houston Street projects completed utilizing TIF funds. Its completion has brought to the TIRZ an urban park, a beautiful setting in which to relax, in what is now a lively sector of the City's Central Business District.

Editor's Notes
Let’s take an example: a set of properties is worth $100,000 today. That is their Base Value. The City, County, ACCD, and SARA together collect $700 per year on those properties. This $700 per year collection will continue through the life of the Zone – as if nothing were changing. Now, we create the Zone, and build improvements that raise the property value by $1,000,000. The taxing entities would now be able to collect something like an additional $7000 per year. That additional collection goes into the TIRZ Fund, instead of the General Funds of each taxing entity. The TIRZ Fund can use those collected moneys to reimburse for certain public improvements: the cost of new roads, infrastructure, parks, etc. in the zone – paying for the very improvements that are, in effect, raising the value of the properties. At the end of the life of the Zone, we go back to normal, but with properties that are now worth considerably more than before. Taxing entities can now collect the full amount of their assessment in their General Funds.

Other partners that were critical to bringing affordable housing units to the market included non-profit developers and the SAHA. One of our landmark affordable projects is Rosedale, TIRZ #2. 69 single-family 120 multi-family Greenbelt / Park TIF partnered with the SAHA to participate in Victoria Commons, the redevelopment of old Victoria Courts housing project to new 602-unit mixed-income project with apartments, townhomes, and single-family detached TIRZ #11 contributes $3.4 million for infrastructure upgrades, Part of a $25 million infrastructure project that supports the construction of 182 single-family houses
The City and the Air Force are working together to redevelop the old Brooks Air Force Base into Brooks City-Base, and TIF is playing a critical role. TIRZ #16 contributes over $55 million for infrastructure construction TIF will support: centralized Emergency Operations Center for the entire City DPT pharmaceutical labs Hospital Ongoing Air Force research activity New research and technology tenants
In San Antonio, we use the word “Reinvestment” more than “Redevelopment”, because “Reinvestment” can include many more initiatives than real estate redevelopment. TIF has proven to be a very flexible “reinvestment” tool, creating opportunities to provide services to people in the areas of greatest need, and transforming the neighborhood one person at a time. ACTN WNBA: Silver Spurs training facility Open to the public for “Open Courts” after school every day Programs for senior fitness Barrio Clinic Part of town with no health services TIRZ #11 contributes nearly $2 million toward providing health care to qualified individuals in the area
The governing body must determine that development or redevelopment would not occur solely through private development in the reasonable foreseeable future. ( Sec. 311.003 (a)) Applies to both petition-initiated and city-initiated TIRZ Recurring Problem: Development activity in area or nearby negates the “But for TIF, development would not occur in this area…” argument
The TIF Unit can provide applicants with a sample pro-forma which requires the following necessary information: Demonstrate financial wherewithal to meet project costs and complete project (i.e. the most current three years of financial statements, complete Sources and Uses budget, and/or Letters of Credit from Bank) Identify all sources of funds, including other public sources, private financing, and developer equity contribution into project Identify all project costs, including acquisition, construction, soft costs, and long-term management costs, if applicable Submit detailed pro-forma that identify pre-TIF rate of return and gap in project financing Submit detailed pro-forma that identify project-plus-TIF rate of return and financial structure Identify proposed security, collateralization, or credit enhancement Demonstrate previous experience developing similar scale and type of project Demonstrate that no construction is taking place within the proposed TIRZ boundaries. No petition-driven TIRZ can include sites where construction has been initiated or where construction is ongoing, and the costs of such construction can not be financed through TIF.
