4600 West Davis Street (File 26-2597A)

Context: The September 9, 2026 item was noticed as a public hearing held pursuant to Section 394.9025 of the Texas Local Government Code regarding bonds to be issued by the City of Dallas Housing Finance Corporation to finance the project.

Recommended: Request the certified public hearing notice, the hearing record, and the signed Resolution of No Objection tied to the City of Dallas Housing Finance Corporation bond financing, and confirm whether the notice and hearing satisfied the Section 394.9025 requirements the agenda item invoked. If the hearing record is thin, raise it with bond counsel before the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs application is submitted, because curing a notice problem after allocation is far harder.

Context: Council's September 9, 2026 approval for Dallas Leased Housing Associates XIII, LP acknowledged the 360-unit project sits within one linear mile of another development serving the same population that received a Housing Tax Credit allocation in the preceding three years.

Recommended: Pull the Resolution of No Objection and the applicant's underwriting materials to identify which previously funded development within one linear mile of 4600 West Davis Street serves the same target population, since Council expressly acknowledged that proximity. If you are underwriting another 4% bond deal in Oak Cliff/West Davis, assume you will need the same Council acknowledgment and budget the hearing timeline into your closing schedule.

Context: The September 9, 2026 Council item approved the resolution for Dallas Leased Housing Associates XIII, LP "and/or its affiliate(s)" while stating the action has no cost consideration to the City, without naming the nearby prior allocation it acknowledges.

Recommended: File a records request for the staff backup behind the Resolution of No Objection and ask city housing staff to name the development within one linear mile that received a tax credit allocation in the prior three years — the agenda language acknowledges it exists but never identifies it. Also press on the "no cost consideration to the City" line: the Housing Finance Corporation is issuing the bonds, so ask what issuer fees it collects and where they go.

Context: City Council approved the Resolution of No Objection on September 9, 2026 for a 360-unit multifamily development for persons of low and moderate income at 4600 West Davis Street, Dallas 75211.

Recommended: A 360-unit income-restricted apartment building is now cleared to seek state tax credits and city-corporation bond financing at 4600 West Davis Street; ask the applicant and city housing staff for the site plan, unit count by bedroom size, parking ratio, and construction staging before the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs application is finalized. Once credits are allocated, the design and traffic pattern are effectively locked in.
