OBJECTIVE: Recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners acting as the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to approve the purchase of a vacant lot on the comer of South 9th Street and Boston Avenue as part of the lmmokalee CRA Public Realm Plan and Town Design for the Imrnokalee Central Business District (CBD), and to approve payment from the Immokalee CRA Fund 186 in the amount of $232,500 plus costs and expenses to complete the sale and approve a budget amendment of $250,000 from Immokalee CRA Reserves. BACKGROUND: ~ 163.370 Florida Statues grants the Community Redevelopment Agency the ability to acquire real property and states in part that "... for or in connection with community redevelopment install, construct.. .parks, playgrounds, and other public improvements". Resolution No.2000-82 found that "rehabilitation, conservation or redevelopment, or a combination thereof of designated areas was necessary in the interest of public health, safety, morals and welfare of the residents of Collier County" and in order to designate the Immokalee area as a redevelopment area, a fmding of blight had to be made by the Collier County Board of Commissioners. This too was accomplished with Resolution No. 2000-82 Resolution No. 2000-181 was adopted by the Collier County Planning Commission, the CRA Board and the Board of County Commissioners after approval of its redevelopment plan which provided the framework for the goals of the Community Redevelopment Area. The redevelopment plan provides flexibility for the correction of deficiencies and for the improvement of life in the community and for its citizens. Since its inception in 2000, the Immokalee CRA has undertaken a host of projects in the Immokalee Redevelopment Area in order to carry out its goals of "rehabilitation, conservation and redevelopment" of the Immokalee community in the interest ofthe public's health, safety, and welfare. There exists a significant amount of vacant land in the lmmokalee community; however, the majority of it is utilized for agriculture. Most parcels are large and under single ownership and the cost of small parcels within the Imrnokalee community is higher than comparable parcels in surrounding communities. Vacant lots dot the downtown commercial areas contributing to the problems of insufficient pedestrian malls, and people-friendly passive open space gathering areas. CONSIDERATIONS: Plazas located at I't and Main and at 9th and Main Streets will create the gateways into the central downtown district. They will serve as traffic calming tools to reduce the number of pedestrian and bicycle accidents as well. Currently there are no plazas or great squares for public gatherings in downtown Immokalee. The intention of building public realm plazas in Immokalee is to inspire community pride and revitalize the CBD by creating a livable, workable and walkable community. Though careJill design of the public realm plazas, lmmokalee will be able to showcase its personality and create a brand for itself. The elements of design which have been created for this unique Immokalee brand are based on the rich multi-cultural influences that give Immokalee its essence - thus achieving the goals set by approved Community Redevelopment Area and Master Planning Area documents. The Immokalee CRA staff had targeted several vacant lots which would be strategic to the public real plan. In-house appraisals were performed and property owners were contacted to determine the property owners' interest in selling. One property owner, Shirley M. Brown, expressed an interest in selling her Agenda Item No. 14B March 23, 2010 Page 2 of 11 parcel on the comer of Boston Avenue and South 9th Street for the appraised price of $232,500. Please refer to the Location Map as attached. This offer and acceptance was approved by the Executive Director, contingent upon CRA Board approval. ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: On November 18, 2009, at a regular meeting of the Immokalee CRA Advisory Committee and the lmmokalee Master Plan and Visioning Committee, the committees voted unanimously to recommend to the CRA Board to approve the purchase of the Shirley M. Brown parcel on the comer of Boston Avenue and s. 9th Street in downtown lnurtokalee with the CRA Trust Funds as part of the Immokalee Central Business District Public Realm Plan and Town Design in order to achieve the goals and vision of the lmmokalee community. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $235,500 plus costs and fees to purchase the subject property are available in the lmmokalee CRA Fund 186. Source of all funds are in Fund 186 tax incremental fmance revenues. A budget amendment of $250,000 from Immokalee CRA Capital Reserves will be required to complete the purchase. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The County's Growth Management Plan: Future Land Use Element: Policy 4.7 states that redevelopment plans may be initiated for specific areas within the County with incentives, if necessary, for the encouragement of redevelopment. RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners acting as the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to approve the purchase of a vacant lot on the corner of South 9th Street and Boston Avenue as part of the lmmokalee CRA Public Realm Plan and Town Design for the lmmokalee Central Business District (CBD), and to approve payment from the Immokalee CRA Fund 186 in the amount of $232,500 plus costs and expenses to complete the sale and approve a budget amendment of $250,000 from Immokalee CRA Reserves.
