and/or areas wt I I be permitted to be retained In place and
rehabilitated to meet Property Rehabilitation Standards when the
following conditions are tully satisfied:
A structure survey Is made and a write-up of repair
requirements Is completed and delivered to the property owner
by the Urban Renewal Agency.
A determination Is made that rehabll ltatlon Is feasible, both
physically and economically.
A determination Is made that the structure may be allowed to
remain on-site under the Urban Renewal Plan.

"Residential Minimum Property Rehab! I ltatlon Standards", and Exhibit
B Is entitled "Non-Residential Minimum Property Rehab! lltatlon
Standards".
5
2. Acquisition Clearance
Properties in the NDP Urban Renewal Area may be acquired and cleared in
order to:
-Remove dilapidated structures and substandard conditions;
-Remove significant existing blighting influence;
Provide land for needed public improvements or public facil-
ities; and/or
-Provide land for planned redevelopment and other Plan objectives
including the removal of impediments to land disposition and
redevelopment.
Properties to be acquired for any of the above reasons shall be desig-
nated for such acquisition after (1) structure condition surveys are
made to determine the degree of substandardness, (2) proper planning
studies and evaluations are made to determine the location and extent of
existing blighting influences, (3) appropriate planning studies are made
to determine the needs for land to support public facilities or im-
provements, {4) planning studies and market analyses are made to
determine the needs for planned redevelopment.
Properties to be acquired under the Urban Renewal Plan shall be identi-
fied and designated in an appropriate Land Acquisition Supplement or
Supplements to be added to and incorporated in the Urban Renewal Plan
after review and approval by appropriate local governing bodies.
See Map URP-4 for Land Acquisition in Tax Increment Financing District.
3. Tax Increment Financing District
The Tax Increment Financing tool was adopted as an amendment to the Texas
Urban Renewal Law (Article 12691-3 V.A.T.S.) in 1977. This amendment allows
the establishment of a TIF district where the total appraised value of real
property in the zone is designated as the tax increment base. Any increases
in the appraised value and revenues generated by taxes on the captured
appraised value are the tax increment funds. Public improvements for the
area are financed by the tax increment fund. Private improvements will be
encouraged by the general upgrading of the area.
The tax increment district should be for a period not to exceed fifteen
years.
6
Location and Characteristics
The Tax Increment Financing area as described ln Exhibit II contains a
residential neighborhood area and a commercial business area. The areas
have different primary land uses and function In dissimilar capacities, but
the areas are experiencing changes In their traditional neighborhood
characteristics.
The western portion ot the district Is largely residential and Is In the
Overton Subdivision. Overton Is a traditional Urban Renewal target
area. The area Is experiencing rapid decline with high vacancy rates, low
average household Incomes, and low homeownershlp.
Geographically, the east halt ot Overton Is Isolated from other portions of
the community. The area Is located between the Central Business District
and the campus of Texas Tech University. Additionally, two ot the three
major streets forming Its boundaries are United States Highways <U.S. 84,
u.s. 62/82) and the third Is a major thoroughfare.
One point of significance Is the historical nature of the Overton area.
Overton was the first major residential neighborhood to develop adjacent to
the Original Town square mile as the city began to grow. As a result, there
are many older and historically significant structures and these are
generally concentrated along Broadway Avenue and In the southwestern portion
of the neighborhood,
The proposed land use plan (URP-3) calls tor open space/park land In
specific locations. Initially, land acquisition may Include Blocks 35, 38,
44, and 45, with small "pocket" parks In Blocks 11, 121, 113, 99 and 100.
The eastern part of the TIF district Is a portion of the Central Business
District. The Inclusion of the CBD In the TIF district Is to encourage
redevelopment and act as a catalyst to restore the area's viability.
The decline of the retailing activity in the CBD Is a result of a migration
over a long period of time ot shoppers to suburban malls. The retailing
function of the CBD Is at Its lowest point. Studies of the declining CBD
7
Indicate parking to be a major perceived problem for shoppers. On street
parking has been found to be operationally Inefficient and the available off
street parking supply Is much too widely distributed tor efficient utili-
zatlon.
Another characteristic associated with the downtown decline Is the visual
and physical character of the area. There are many vacant buildings In
need of redevelopment. Building deterioration Is more acute at the perimeter
of the CBD, especially on the. east and south sides of the area.
The most Important functions to provide In the CBD are as follows:
I. An Improved speciality retailing environment.
2. Properly located ott-street parking.
3. Offices and services Including banks and professional facilities.
4. Meeting places Including motels, hotels, and a visitors center.
5. Cultural and social facilities tor exhibits, concerts, plays,
lectures, etc.
6. Adequate and properly differentiated circulation systems for
vehicles and pedestrians.
7. Wei I designed open spaces.
Tax Increment Financing as a Funding Strategy tor Implementing the Plan.
The system works as follows:
The existing assessed valuation In the development area Is "frozen" at the
pre-development level; Additional assessed valuation resulting from rede-
velopment of the area, over and above the frozen level, Is termed the
"Increment" due to redevelopment; All tax revenues derived from the 11 1ncre-
ment" may be pledged by the city to retire revenue bonds sold on the bond
market to finance the project. Also, Urban Renewal will provide oppor-
tunitles for private redevelopment by absorbing a major portion of redevel-
opment costs In the form of a land assembly and building clearance subsidy.
Activities likely to be Involved In the various aspects of this plan Include
the following:
1. Acquisition-the purchase or lease of a land and/or buildings.
2. Clearance -the removal of structures or other Improvements on the
I and.
3. Relocation-the provision of assistance to families or businesses
displaced by the project.
4. Public Reuse-the ultimate use of properties developed or rede-
veloped tor public purposes such as parks, government facilities,
etc. s. Private Reuse -the ultimate use of properties for private purposes
such as housing, businesses, etc.
6. Water -any replacement, relocation or construction of new water
distribution lines.
8
7. Sewer-any replacement, relocation or construction of new sewer
collection lines. ·
8. Paving -any major repair or construction of new street paving.
9. Drainage -any replacement, relocation or construction of new storm
drainage facilities.
10. Power -any replacement, relocation or construction of new power
distribution facilities including lines, poles, transformers and also
any communication facilities.
11. Landscaping-provision of appropriate plant materials, sidewalks,
lighting, irrigation facilities and other landscape features subject
to detailed design. ·
12. Vacate Right-Of-Way-release of public rights to land now within
dedicated streets and alleys.
13. Street Closure -conversion of streets from vehicular use to a use
other than vehicular as authorized by the Lubbock City Council.
14. Curb and Walk -relocation or repair of curbs and gutter and repair
or reconstruction of sidewalks within existing and proposed
rights-of-way.
15. Other public improvements as authorized by the City Council.
16. Professional and administrative expenditures as allowed by the Urban
Renewal Law and as authorized by the City Council.
E. LAND DISPOSITION SUPPLEMENT
When the Urban Renewal Agency has acquired properties under this Urban
Renewal Plan, the Plan shall be amended by a Land Disposal Supplement. The
Land Disposal Supplement will include specific land use designations and
standards or controls and other restrictions to be imposed on land to be
offered for sale or lease; provide a statement of obligations to be imposed
on redevelopers; and establish design objectives, duration of controls, and
circulation requirements.
F. OTHER PROVISIONS NECESSARY TO MEET REQUIREMENTS OF APPLICABLE STATE OR
LOCAL LAW
There are no additional state or local requirements or laws affecting the
Plan, other than legislation applicable to all properties within the
community such as Subdivision Regulations, Zoning Ordinances, Building
Codes, and similar local codes and ordinances affecting the utilization
of buildings and land.
Where there is a conflict between the provisions of this Urban Renewal Plan,
and any amendments thereto, and other applicable local codes and ordinances
the more restrictive of the provisions shall apply. Interpretation of the
provisions of this Plan shall be the responsibility of the Urban Renewal
Agency of the City of Lubbock and their decision shall be binding on all
affected parties.
9
G. PROVISIONS FOR AMENDING PLAN
This Urban Renewal Plan may be revised or amended from time to time through
the preparation of written amendments, when said amendments are properly
reviewed and approved by the appropriate local governing bodies.
The Urban Renewal Plan may also be expanded and supplemented from time to
time through the preparation of specific renewal activity supplements.
These supplements shall be In written form and may Include maps, text, and
charts as appropriate; and each shal I be dated. The title of the supplement
shall be clearly shown and shall be descriptive of the type of urban renewal
activity proposed In the supplement.
