Title

Consider a resolution of the City Council of the City of Keller, Texas amending Resolution No. 3440, dated November 5, 2013, by amending the guidelines and criteria for Facade Improvement Grant program.

Body

 

Staff is proposing to restructure the Old Town Keller Façade Improvement Grant to include all commercial buildings in the City of Keller and eliminate the requirement to be located within the Old Town Keller Overlay District.

 

This grant program has only been utilized by two projects in Old Town Keller within the last two years, with zero applicants within the 2018 Fiscal Year.

 

As other areas of Keller begin to age, this currently underutilized tool would give commercial property owners the added incentive to redevelop their buildings and improve the overall façade of Keller.
