A city’s battle over an affordable housing program is now making its way through Collin County District Court.
The city of Plano and Plano ISD filed a petition late Tuesday afternoon requesting proof that more than a dozen apartment communities that enjoy 100% tax exemptions are holding up their end of the deal in providing income-restricted units to qualified individuals.
According to the housing authority, since 2020 the Plan PFC has completed a total of 14 developments, 13 in Plano and one in Lewisville. The city, it states, is interested in learning how much affordable housing the PFC developments were providing, in part, because of the lucrative tax exemptions the program gives to private for-profit developers.
The City Manager for Plano has submitted Public Information Act requests starting May 2023. Multiple PIA requests have been made by the City Manager, and each one has been responded to, with information being delivered each time in accordance with Texas law. A signed delivery receipt was collected for each and every one of the PIA requests. To date, a total of over 1,600 files have been delivered, totaling over 2.5 GB of data.
