Summary

Council approved a resolution supporting KCG Development LLC’s application to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for a 65‑unit senior affordable housing tax‑credit project; staff noted a support letter yields more points in the TDHCA scoring process.

The Grand Prairie City Council voted to approve a resolution supporting a tax‑credit application by KCG Development LLC for a proposed 65‑unit affordable senior housing project.

Housing director Esther Komen (speaker 17) told the council the resolution of support or no‑objection fits the city’s ordinance for senior housing and that a resolution of support would contribute 17 points in the TDHCA application process (a no‑objection resolution would provide 14 points). KCG representative CJ Lintner (speaker 18) described the project site, confirmed the developer would propose a four‑story building and said the development meets the city’s criteria for supportive projects.

Councilmember Junior Zahnu (speaker 7) moved to approve a resolution supporting submission of the application to TDHCA by KCG Development LLC for construction along Graham Street and North Baghdad Road; council approved the motion by voice vote.

The resolution is procedural support for the applicant’s TDHCA scoring and does not itself commit city funds. Staff noted Planning & Zoning and the City Council Development Committee reviewed the proposal and recommended a support resolution to maximize application points.
