Overview of the Program The C -BIG program funds exterior and interior improvements to qualified commercial buildings in the CRA, as well as sites that have non - conformity issues with the Land Development Code. Grantees may receive C -BIG funds on a 50% match basis, with a maximum reimbursement of $50,000. Funding for interior improvements (maximum award of $20,000) is contingent upon grantees performing exterior or conformity improvements. All improvements must be approved by the CRA prior to commencing any C -BIG- funded projects. All exterior improvements must have some component that is visible to the public, either from the public right-of-way or some other highly visible location. Grantees generally receive C -BIG funds in about 45 days after CRA staff visit the site and review all project summary paperwork (see Required Paperwork for Reimbursement) and verify grantee eligibility. Any funds awarded for the conformity program will require an equal match from the applicant, not to exceed $30,000 awarded, and shall take the place of exterior and /or interior C -BIG funds of the same amount, not to exceed $!5,000 from either exterior or interior. The maximum award for C -BIG applicants is $50,000; $30,000 exterior /conformity, funds must be awarded prior to any applicant being considered for an award up to $20,000 in interiorfunds. Applicant Eligibility Tenants and owners ofcommercial properties for which property taxes are paid to the current year and which are located within the CRA boundaries may be eligible to receive C -BIG funding. Not - for - profit, 501 (c) (3) and other private entities such as churches, social services, government agencies, etc., are not eligible for C -BIG funding but may be eligible for grants through the Site Improvement Grant program. Applicants must own a business or commercial property within the Redevelopment Area (See map in Appendix A). Eligibility criteria are as follows: • Applicants who are business owners must have a valid business tax receipt at the time of application. • Business owners who rent the building or unit space where their businesses are located must secure a signed Owner Authorization Form (attached) from the building owner to construct improvements. • Al property taxes on the site must be current. Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Corn rant BAY�HORE GA EW/,Y TRIANGLE E8 EEL a. Applicants may submit only one application within a 12 month period. A business site — defined as the folio number (parcel ID) of business location —may receive up to three C- BIGs, not to exceed the maximum allowable amount in effect at the time of the first application, subject to availability of funds. Once a business site has received its maximum funding, it is no longer eligible for further C -BIG funding for the remaining life of the program (subject to CRA funding availability). [aids for Work For each type of improvement to be funded, applicants must obtain a minimum oftwo bids by contractors from the list on the Collier County Contractor's Search page, located at http: / /apps2.co11iergov. net/ webapps /vision/ConCert /default.aWx . Bids from contractors not listed in this database will not be accepted for the C -BIG program unless they are licensed by the state of Florida and are bonded and insured with Collier County. The grant amount will be equal the sum of the lowest bids (not to exceed $50,000) by all contractors for each improvement though any contractor meeting the criteria above may be used. Required Documentation for Reimbursement Grant funds are disbursed after CRA staff verify the improvements are complete (this includes review of certificates of occupancy and /or permits from Collier County). To receive reimbursement, grantees must prove that payment for the improvements was paid to contractor(s) as approved with the original application by check or credit card in the name of the grantee. Under no circumstance will payment to unlicensed contractors or subcontractors be reimbursed. Grantees must provide receipts and invoices with the payment amount indicated clearly and must also include dates of work performed No reimbursement will be disbursed for work paid for with cash. All invoices must reconcile against payments. Project Requirements Exterior Improvements In order to be approved, exterior improvements must result in one or more of the following: (1) increase in the aesthetic appeal of the area; (2) improvement to the functionality of tile premises; (3) remedy of structural problems or code violations or (4) aid in business operation. The grantee will be reimbursed for exterior improvements at a 50 percent match, up to a maximum award of $30,000. The following are examples of improvements eligible for grant funding. Installation of or repair to: • Stucco • Doors • Brick or textured pavement • Exterior lighting K • Awnings • Windows • Stormwater enhancements • Painting Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Commercial Building • Masonry • Shutters • Electrical work related to exterior lighting • Signs 16 4 �BAYSH0RE G �J E W Y ,.

Special assistance for landscaping is available free of charge through Collier County Extension Services. Contact a master gardener by calling (239) 353 -4244. Conformity Improvements The Conformity Program provides financial assistance to commercial projects in the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA for sites that have been recognized as non - conforming and have been vacant for a period of time, or are found to not meet minimum development standards as set forth in the Collier County Land Development Code. A hardship is created with non - conforming sites because the size or shape of the lot, location of the building, etc. makes it impossible or not profitable to improve the site according to standards. The applicant will be eligible on a per site basis, based on a determination or merit, economic feasibility and the resulting end - product of the project. Parcels that are deemed to be nonconforming in lot size by the Growth Management Division shall be considered for additional property acquisition if the landowner is able to reach an agreement with adjacent property owners to either acquire an additional parcel of neighboring property, or go through a Lot Line Adjustment application. Properties that are awarded funds to remedy lot size should be Legally conforming lots once the additional property is acquired. Funds used to remedy any nonconformity issue shall result in the issue being made conforming to current Code standards. The Conformity Program funds may be used for the following types of projects: • Adjacent property acquisition 3 Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA 166-6 IBAYSH0RE GATEW Y TRIANGLE • Nonconforming building demolition in association with a new construction project • Improvements tound to be required during the Site Development /Site Improvement Plan process for existing sites, above and beyond the initial scope of the project. Examples: FEMA elevation requirements, fire code, ADA accessibility, storm water, transportation access issues, etc. Interior Improvements Grantees who wish to improve the interior of approved commercial properties may be reimbursed for that work through the C -BIG program only if they earn the maximum dollar award for exterior improvements, or some combination of exterior and conformity improvements. Interior projects must be approved at the same time as exterior projects and will be reimbursed at a 50 percent match, up to a maximum award of $20,000. A grantee who fails to perform enough exterior /conformity improvements to earn the maximum grant amount will forfeit all reimbursement for interior improvements. All documentation requirements for exterior improvements also apply to interior improvements (see Bids for Work and Required Documentation for Reimbursement above). The following is a complete list of qualified interior improvements • Asbestos removal • Paint associated with wall repair /replacement • Electrical work to meet code requirements • Plumbing to meet code requirements • Termite damage repair • Lighting improvements • Improvements necessary for ADA- compl iance • Flooring upgrades and replacement • Ceiling upgrades or repair. • Wall upgrades and replacement • Interior fire code compliance • Interior sprinkler systems as required by code No other interior improvements will be approved for funding. NOTE: Projects listed below are ineligible for C -1316 funding. • The removal of architecturally important details; • Installation of aluminum or vinyl siding; • Improvements commenced prior to execution of agreement with CRA; • Purchase or installation of statues or fountains; • Any work by non - licensed contractors; • Construction of free - standing buildings (including construction of new rooms to existing structures); • Refinancing of debt; • Non -fixed improvements; and • Sweat equity. 4 JAYIHORE B FEBGATEW' Y TRIANGLE Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Commercial Building Improvement Grant Change Orders and Time Extensions Change Orders to Increase Funding After a C -BiG agreement is executed, if a grantee discovers flaws in the building related to approved exterior or interior improvements, a change order may be issued to increase funding not to exceed the maximum award available. Change orders must be requested in time for staff to process the request and secure approval (allow a minimum of one month prior to expiration of grant). As with the original application, all work requested under the change order must be pre- approved with an amended agreement prior to starting work on these items. IMPORTANT: change orders cannot be processed within the last two weeks of the grant period. Upon successfully completing work under the original C -BIG, if the maximum funding amounts have not been met, grantees must wait one year and may then apply 161 - additional funding for work unrelated to the original improvement[s]. Time Extensions The CRA understands that redevelopment projects can take more time to complete than is originally anticipated. For grantees who cannot complete their projects within one year, time extensions may be granted. Grantees needing extensions must request the extension within two months of the grant's expiration. Note: no extensions can be granted within the last two weeks of the grant period. Funding Levels and Matching Requirements Base Funding The base maximum grant award is $50,000 with the following breakdown of funding: 1) $30,000 in 50150 matching funds for exterior improvements; 2) $20,000 in 50150 matching funds for interior improvements — absolutely no funding for interior improvements will be permitted if grantee does not perform a minimum of $60,000 of exterior improvements; 3) Up to $30,000 in conformity improvements may be debited from exterior and/or interior improvements in 50150 matching funds, not to exceed $15,000 from either category.

The program has been established to encourage construction of new detached single - family homes that support the objectives of the adopted redevelopment plan. Improvements to existing structures may be funded through the Site Improvement Grant Program (see separate application). The CRA is partially funded by Tax Increment Financing (TIF). TIF is a unique tool that CRA's can use to leverage public funds and to promote private sector activity. For each project, the CRA will provide an impact fee assistance grant of up to $10,000 per new detached single - family home. For parcels having impact fee credits, the CRA will provide an impact fee assistance grant of 50% of the remaining impact fees after the credits have been applied, not to exceed $ 10,000. There is a maximum amount of funding allocated each year for impact fee assistance, so the program is managed on a "first come, first served ". Impact fee deferrals may also be available through the Collier County Housing, Human and Veteran Services SHIP program for low and very low - income first time homebuyers. All applicants must contact the Collier County Impact Fee Coordinator for an estimate of expected impact fees. CRA staff, the Impact Fee Coordinator and the Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Local Redevelopment Advisory Board will review applications and make a recommendation for assistance to the Community Redevelopment Agency Board. The CRA Board will issue final approval and authorize expenditure of funds. This is a reimbursement program to the builder /owner, to be paid at the receipt of Certificate of Occupancy (CO). The grant application must be submitted, reviewed by the Advisory Board and approved by the CRA Board prior to submittal of building permit. No "after the fact" applications will be accepted. Applications will not be accepted after all CRA Grant Program funds are depleted. All work must be completed within one year of approval by CRA. Applicants are required to consult with CRA staff and the Impact Fee Coordinator prior to submittal of application. Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA 1 `-1 Eligibility ce Grant 166 BAYSH0RE 3 GA EWf?Y TRIANGLE rEBH]� Grant funds are available for new detached single - family residential structures on residentially coned parcels within the Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Redevelopment area.

Residential developers of multiple detached single - family parcels may apply for and receive up to four (4) Impact Fee Assistance Grants in any calendar year (up to $40,000 in impact fee assistance). All conditions apply to each grant - awarded parcel.
