KCG is requesting a Resolution of Support from City Council to apply for tax credit funding through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA). The project would develop approximately 2.25 acres of the site, which is currently zoned PD-41 (Light Industrial). A zoning change and Concept Plan approval will be required. CJ Lintner, KCG Development spoke in support of this item. Chairman Lopez requested clarification regarding the project overview and location. Council Member Shotwell stated he had previously met with Mr. Litner for an overview of the company. Mr. Litner noted that KCG is active in Texas, with the closest community located in Mesquite and additional developments in Longview, Houston, and Austin. Council Member Headen inquired about the long-term implications of the tax credits. Mr. Litner explained that acceptance of the tax credits requires a 40-year affordability commitment and that conversion to another use after that period would be very difficult. In response to Chairman Lopez, Mr. Litner confirmed the development would be fenced, not gated, and stated that tenant rents would be income-based. Council Member Headen asked about the difference between a Resolution of No Objection and a Resolution of Support. Megan Mahan, Deputy City Manager, clarified the distinction and noted that the City has historically provided Resolutions of No Objection. Mr. Litner indicated that a Resolution of Support is required to receive additional points in the state funding process and stated that the project is competitive for funding. Ms. Mahan added that timing is critical if the Committee wishes to approve the item. Council Member Shotwell moved, seconded by Council Member Headen, to approve either a Resolution of Support or a Resolution of No Objection, whichever would provide the additional points. The motion carried unanimously. 6.
