Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider a resolution supporting Reserve at Motley Limited Partnership’s application to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for 2026 Competitive 9% Housing Tax Credits Program for the construction of an approximately 68-unit senior restricted affordable multifamily rental housing development to be located at 2700 Motley Drive, in accordance with Chapter 2306 of the Texas Government Code and acknowledging proximity to another development serving the same target population, providing a local funding commitment for the development and authorizing the City Secretary to certify the resolution to the TDHCA.
Body
The applicant will present information on a proposed 68-unit, senior-restricted affordable housing development known as Reserve at Motley. The applicant has submitted a pre-application (Application No. 26145) to seek 9% Competitive Housing Tax Credits (HTCs) through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA). Approval of the requested resolution would provide points toward the scoring of the competitive tax credit application. The applicant is also requesting a $500 financial commitment from the City.
The subject property is zoned General Retail, which, pursuant to Senate Bill 840 adopted by the State last year, permits multifamily development by right in nonresidential zoning districts, provided the project complies with all applicable development standards of the Mesquite Zoning Ordinance. The applicant may pursue a rezoning to modify certain development standards. However, support of the requested resolution would not bind the City Council to approve any future zoning action related to the project.
Recommended/Desired Action
Conduct a public hearing and consider action on a resolution.
