That the property described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference for all purposes be hereby designated Richland Hills Reinvestment Zone Number 1, under the provisions of Chapter 312 of the Texas Tax Code. Such reinvestment zone shall continue to exist for a period of five (5) years from the effective date of this ordinance, and may be renewed for successive five-year periods by future action of the Richland Hills City Council. The City shall be hereby authorized to enter into tax abatement agreements covering property within the zone, upon compliance with all legal requirements therefor, but shall not be obligated to enter into any such agreement. II. The Richland Hills City Council hereby finds that the improvements sought within the zone are feasible and would be of benefit of the zone after the expiration of any tax abatement agreement concerning property located within the reinvestment zone. The City Council also finds that the Richland Hills Reinvestment Zone Number 1 meets the applicable criteria for reinvestment zones, in that such property is reasonably likely as a result of the designation as Reinvestment Zone Number 1 to contribute to the retention or expansion of primary employment and to attract major investment in the zone that will be a benefit to the property and that will contribute to the economic development of the City of Richland Hills. • III. Severability Clause.
