On behalf ofthe CRA Board and Local CRAAdvisory Board, the Bayshore
GatewayTriangle CRA's 2008 Annual Report is submitted to the Collier
County Board of County Commissioners.
This older suburban core of Collier County has certainly witnessed a
remarkable recovery. Community efforts bootstrapped a self-taxing
municipal services district in 1998 that was followed by the CRA's
creation in 2000 and the addition of a staff of four to execute the
Redeveloprnent Plan. A proactive citizenry built strong relationships
with the governmental sectors to address existing slum and blight
conditions and together they developed strategies to improve the
area. After nine long years, most of their efforts have come to fruition;
however they readily acknowledge that their work is not finished.
Our overarching goal in 2008 was to create opportunities for continued
quality growth. By effectively planning future pl'Ojects and investing
tax revenues in infrastructure irnprovements, the residents are enjoying
a higher quality of life. )C.n aggressive residential slurn 'purchase and
demolition strategy' in one of the most crime-ridden ,Heas reduced
crime incident reports by 50% over four years.
As we work our way out of the current economic downturn, we are
looking forward to some exciting times and eXciting projects, Come
be a part of the excitement. There will be opportunities that you do
not want to miss!

Welcome to one of the most wonderful areas in Collier County filled with
promise for a bright future! Even though our counry IS suffCl"ing from the affects
of these trying economic times, the Bayshore GatewayTriangle CRA seems to
display nothing but positive "ction, and each day brings new excitement. This
year marks the 10th anniversary for the CRA, and as such, the Redevelopment
Plan will be updated to take stock of all the redeveloplTlent efforts that have
occurred over the past decade. The Plan will encompass the viSion of creating
a thriving visual and performing arts community, and develop strategies
toward achieving thiS goal.

While the CRA was acquiring properties and
tearing down inhabitable structures, crime was

P~Q[ lighting on prominent roads in a community Is one manifestation of blight. The study which
enumerated the CRA's blighted conditions featured poor lighting as a significant issue. Installing lights on
Davis Boulevard between Airport Road and U5-41 was a project that took several years to complete, but
with the cooperatlgn of(:ollie\ County Transportation Services, the entire stretch of Davis Boulevard that is
within the CRA isnoWflJlIY-1i9!i!~9ilt night!

While South l3ayshore Drive sees less traflicthan Davis Boulevard, irleads to several residential neighborhoods
~nd the Naples Botanical Garden, Lights were inst<1lled at cntical residential intersections in 2008, Tax
Increment Funds (TIF) will be used to offsets costs of maintaining these lights for the next ten years or until
an improved lighting system is installed.

In 2008, the Baysho,e Gatew<1yTriangle CRA created a Brownfield Redevelopment Program to find creative
ways to redevelop sites that may have traces of environmental contamination, This program works in tandem
with the CHA cultural-arts facility project (see nExt page) where a portion of the site to be developed is
known to have limited petroleum contamination.
As part of this program, the CRA Joined with the Irnmokalee CRA, South Florida Water t...1anagement
District, Collier County Airport Authority, and the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council to create a
Brownfields Redevelopment Coalition. Through this coalition, the eRA has applied for federal grant funding
for assessing potential brov.;nrleJds for rede.velopment.

The Cayshore Gateway Triangle CRA strives to be a catalyst for positive change in the area-not the sole force
for this change. While the CRA was directly involved in several large-scale redevelopment projects in 2008, other
entities in the area brought positive change to the area on their own. Below is a photo essay of these projects.

One of the goals of the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' (BCC)
appointed CRA Advisory Committee has long been to institute an Immokalee CP.A
Dffice within the downtown area, retain permanent staii and to establish a community

During 2008, the CRA office found genesis in Immokalee. The CRA office has been
established at 310 ,ll,lachua Sl. in Immokalee. Three full-time staff members have

articles. r'C:ldia talk shO'~'\.'s, and thf~ e$tab!i~,hrnent :'f 3il on fine presence.
Policies and Procedures
As with any new buciness, 8n adrnillistrative order had t'O be established for the
routine operation of day to day business, therefore, set of documents that describe
CRi-\ policr0s for operat:on and the procedures necessary to fulfill the pOIIC.12S have

III. !mmokalee Area Master Plan (lAMP)
Early in 2008, CRA staff developed a Request
for Proposals for planning consultants 10
finalize the IAIviP. Working with the County's
Purchasing and Le9al Departments, within two
months the BCC had contracted with RWr\,
Inc. The 18 month contract included the Master
Plan re-write, a Transportation Plan, Immokalee
specific Land Development Codes and a Capital
Improvements Plan. RWA, Inc. completed the
rliaster F'lan re-vl/rite and community review within
six rnonths. On December 3, 2008, the Diaft
[vlaster Plan was submitted to the Collier County
Comprehensive Planning Department in the
form of a Compn::hsnsive Plan Amendrnent for
review and submittal to the Flo:"id3 Depa-tm€<it of
Community P.,ffairs.
Th9 lmmokalee .A.rea fV1ast<2r F'lan has besn
jeveloped to emphasize identified opportunities
and strengths. The first set of objectivEs and

Red Flag Program
During 2008, the Immokalee CRAAdvisory Board and staff received numerous requests for assistance from
entities seeking a deviation from certain LDCs. Reasons for requested 8ssistance range from prohibitive
conditions to exorbitant costs. The BCC recommended that the LOC should be amended to establish a
process to specifically allow for deviations to the LDC for projects in lh'2 lmmokalee Urban Area as described
above. While the Interim Arnendment is being applOved, (he Imrn:>kalee CRAAdvisory Board established a
program called the "Red Flag" program as a s(op gap measure to provide a vehicle for requests for support
from the Advisory Board, Entities needing assistanc'3 simply notify the lmmokalee CRA staff and provide
crear background information on the issue. The issue i.s then placed on the Advisory Board's regular
rnonthiy agenda to be heard. The ,4dvisory Board wiii either make 3 recommendation thai the BCe to grant
the deviation or advise the entity that the t\dvisory Board is unable to assist. To date. the Immokalee CRA
,~,dvisory Board has heard approximat.:;;ly ten cases.
The Florida State farmer's Market
in july 2008 CR.A, staff drafted a I",tiers to legisl8tors that requested
assistance \,vith rebuilding the State Farmer's fJiarket in lmrnokalee. This
market, which qualifies for Federal Emergency r'.1anag",mentAdmlnistration

Immokalee CRA staff has been working with Collier County
Transportation staff in an attempt to acti'vate the Florida Department
of Transportation's Ilew program of allowing tourist oriented directional

area points of interest. These signs can he placed on state roads as far
as 25 miles from a tourist siie. The TODS program will be a va!uable
attribute to fosfering eco-tourisnl initiatives in the Imrnokalee area by
assisting seasonal recreational visitors in discovering all that the area
has to offer thus, stimUlating the iocai s'c:onomy. Th:s initiative is t3rgeted
for completion dUllng 2009.

Vl. Infrastructure Jnd Improved living Condiciol1s
In response to the deplorable flooding conditions
caused by tropical storm Faye in September 2008,
Immokalee CRA staff has met with the local MSTU
Beautification COrTlrnitt'Se to propose a partnership
with the IlllrTlokalee eRA and an 'Sxpansion of
the committee's responsibilities and geographic
boundaries to address issues such as storm
vv'ater drarllage, sidewalks, and overall roadway
maintenance. The beatification MSTU is currently
restricted 10 the lv1ain Street district and concentrates
its efforts (funds and grants) on beautification projects.
Th." propos0d Immokalee CRAlMSTU partnership
\^/ould conhine both ':)rgan;zations efforts and
funding sources and grant opportunities to address
infrastru:tui.;j ds-ficiencies including but not limited
