Agenda 06/23/2015 Item #11C6/23/2015 11.C.
Recommendation to adopt a resolution establishing the Ave Maria Innovation Zone to
attract and retain qualified targeted industry businesses in the defined unincorporated
area of Collier County.
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners (hereinafter "Board ") establish the Ave Maria
Innovation Zone. The purpose of the Ave Maria Innovation Zone is to attract and retain qualified
targeted industry business as defined by Florida Statute 288.106.
CONSIDERATIONS: On May 11, 2010, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 2010 -20 providing for the
creation of Innovation Zones as a tool to promote economic development. It is the intent of the
Ordinance to create a dedicated source of revenue to fund an economic development program and to
advance economic development initiatives in zones of geographic concentration within the
unincorporated areas of the County. These zones, called Innovation Zones, will be designated by the
Board from time to time through the implementation of Economic Development Plans adopted by
resolution for each Innovation Zone.
Revenues available for economic development within an Innovation Zone are generated through the
establishment of a tax increment financing plan, similar to those used in community redevelopment areas.
Incremental property tax revenue generated above the base year taxable value is used as a dedicated
funding source to advance new employment opportunities, implement redevelopment initiatives, create
new economic development opportunities and locations and expand existing employment centers.
For purposes of establishing the Base Year Assessment Roll for the Ave Maria Innovation Zone, the base
year is the County fiscal year cormencing on October 1, 2014. Tax increments will be deposited into the
Trust Fund with the County fiscal year commencing on October 1, 2016, and funding shall continue
through September 30, 2021. The amount of the tax increment to be deposited into the Trust Fund shall
be equal to 100% of the amount based on the formula set forth in Section 4(B) of the attached Collier
County Ordinance No. 2010 -20. Funding shall automatically continue with no further action by the
parties for an additional 5 years, provided that after conclusion of this fifth year, at least 30% of the Trust
Fund has been expended,. At the conclusion of the tenth year, the parties will meet to discuss whether an
additional extension is warranted.
The proposed resolution creates the Ave Maria Innovation Zone Trust Fund. The Tax Increment from
the Ave Maria Innovation Zone is deposited into the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund proceeds will be
utilized to implement the Economic Development Plan. Trust Funds may be utilized in any lawful
manner, including infrastructure required to serve new target businesses or the expansion of an existing
target business; payment of County Impact Fees to be paid by the new target business or the expansion
of an existing target business; and payment of building permit fees or other County fees related to the
construction of structures to serve the target business. Any payment of funds must be approved in
advance by the Board. All expenses must be fully documented in a manner acceptable to the County.
The Trust Fund corpus will not exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in any single fiscal year and is
subject to annual appropriation by the County. Up to 5% of the Trust Corpus shall be reserved as an
annual administrative fee for the County. Upon termination of the Trust Fund any unspent and
unencumbered proceeds shall revert to the County's General Fund.
FISCAL IMPACT: Similar to our two existing County CRA's, this Innovation Zone will be accounted
for through a separate fund and revenue derived from the tax increment will be deposited to this
innovation zone fund through a transfer from the General Fund and Unincorporated Area General Fund.
Packet Page -288-
6/23/201 5 1 1.C.
The tax increment for any given funding year (County fiscal year) is the taxable value calculated by the
property appraiser as part of the annual TRIM process minus the base tax year and resulting base taxable
value established in the enabling resolution. This tax increment divided by $1,000 is then multiplied by
the tax rate for the General Fund and Unincorporated Area General Fund to arrive at the appropriate tax
increment transfer. The first tax increment will be deposited into the trust fund most likely on or about
October 1, 2016 as part of the County's FY 2017. This of course is dependent on when taxable values are
received from the Property Appraisers office.
The balance of the innovation zone fund will never exceed $1,000,000 in any fiscal year and it may take
five years or more to accumulate this level of tax increment revenue. The level of new development and
the rate of taxable value growth will impact the rate of revenue accumulation in the fund. By way of
comparison, each fiscal year the General Fund, contributes $1,500,000 to the Naples CRA and $1,100,000
to the two County CRA's combined. The Unincorporated Area General Fund contributes $230,000 to
both County CRA's combined.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This request is consistent with Objective 3 of the Economic
Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan which states: "Collier County will support
programs which are designed to promote and encourage the recruitment of new industry as well as the
expansion and retention of existing industries in order to diversify the County's economic base."
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney. Ordinance
2010 -20 requires that the Economic Development Plan include "A partnership agreement, from one or
more private entities, detailing a commitment to provide support in the form of financial funding..
infrastructure improvements, land donations or other contributions, which in the discretion of the Board,
promotes the viability and success of the Innovation Zone." We do not know at this time what types of
businesses will be attracted to each of the four separate Town Centers" nor what economic incentive they
might need in order to commit to the project. Accordingly, Section Four of the proposed Resolution was
constructed to require that "Any payment of funds must be approved in advance by the Board of County
Commissioners." Accompanying this future request to the Board will be the required agreement Nvhich
will detail the commitment that is being provided in exchange for the disbursement from the Economic
Trust Fund. With that noted, this itein is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for
approval. -J AK

6/23/2015 11. C.
The original proposed demands for Public Water Supply use +swas expected to be 2.336 MG per year, with a
maximum day use of 12.8 MGD. The change in demands with the light industriallwarehousing use are minimal.
As future renewals of the SFWMD Consumptive Use Permit are made any necessary increases to the permitted
allocation due to the addition of light industrial /warehousing will be reviewed and addressed with the District. The
irrigation requirements for Ave Maria using the modified Blaney- Criddle method will be an annual demand of 2,
117 million gallons per year (MGY). No change in irrigation demand is anticipated with the addition of the light
industrial /warehousing use
3. Proposed Consumptive Use Impacts
Existing irrigated agriculture fields will be removed in the process of developing the Ave Maria University and
Town. The combined PWS (6.4 MGD) and irrigation maximum day demands (5.8 MGD) less reclaimed water
generated for irrigation (5.8 MGD), which forms the basis upon which potential impacts are evaluated, is 6.4
MGD (6.49 with proposed liaht industrial /warehousing), or approximately 42% less than the currently permitted
allocation. The impacts associated with groundwater pumpage are therefore reduced by a similar amount. The
SFWMD Lower West Coast Plan (April 2000), which is the District's assessment of water demands and sources,
indicated no adverse impacts associated with current and future projected agricultural use. The proposed
reduction in permitted allocation will reduce the potential for adverse impacts to occur.
The proposed withdrawal facilities will be located to minimize potential impacts. Facilities will be located,
designed and operated in such a way that they will not degrade the ambient surface or groundwater quality, and
will not adversely impact any adjacent FSA, HSA, WRA, or conservation areas.
4. Proposed Dewatering Activities and Potential Impacts
Temporary dewaterina will be conducted in association with lake construction and other construction activities
such as utilities installation. Dewatering activities are typically completed in a few days to a few weeks per site,
n!I v,,afer withdrawn during dewater ng will be directed to retention areas or iak.es and will remain, on the
project site. Dewatering to a depth below 0.0 NGVD will not occur within 1,000 feet of saline water and the
proposed activities will not cause an exchange of saline and fresh water. Dewatering will not occur within 100
