-
Consideration to modify the existing Downtown Plano Neighborhood Empowerment Zone, which provides exemption from specific fees related to construction and property improvement. It’s meant as an incentive to invest in greater improvements in the Downtown area. The extension would expand the zone to I-75 to the west, and extend very slightly to specific parcels in other directions
-
This is coupled with a proposed expansion of the Downtown Plano Public Improvement District (PID), which levies additional assessments on properties within the PID which go toward public improvement in that area. In this manner, properties well outside Downtown Plano aren’t on the hook to pay for the public improvements which benefit Downtown Plano. However, the expansion of the PID doesn’t align to the expansion of the Neighborhood Investment Zone, since they’re meant for different things, and hence targeted for different properties
-
Review of the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?) which details Plano’s use of federal funds provided by HUD.First Reading of a proposed ordinance granting Oncor Electric a Franchise to provide services in public areas of Plano
