Collier County Ordinance 2002-38 created the Grant Program for the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area. The ordinance was recently amended by Ordinance No, 08-40 to include a Fayade Grant Program for the Immokalee CRA. CONSIDERA TIONS: The CRA Local Advisory Board has monitored the grant program for the CRA for six years. A thorough review of the program and its process by CRA Staff has determined that the CRA community would be better served if: 1. Two grants created by CRA Resolution No. 2007-55 were reestablished by ordinance; specifically the Sweat Equity Grant Program and Shoreline Stabilization Improvement Grant Program, and 2. Two new grant programs were established as an incentive to improve buildings and property; specifically the Landscape Improvement Grant Program and the Commercial Building Improvement Grant Program. There are no changes/modifications to the Sweat Equity or Shoreline Stabilization Improvement Grant Programs. Recommended funding requirements for the new Programs include: . Landscape Improvement Grant: Dollar-for-dollar match up to $2,500 from the CRA. o Residential property only. o Funding for Florida-friendly plants. o Technical assistance and educational partnership components. . Commercial Building Improvement Grant: Dollar-for-dollar match from the CRA, o Limited to existing commercial buildings. o Up to $30,000 for exterior improvements o Up to $20,000 for interior improvements, after exterior improvement threshold is met. o Up to $10,000 allocation for architectural/engineering planning, ifproject completed. o Up to $10,000 bonus for inclusion of Florida vernacular design elements. .- Agenda Item No. 17 A October 28, 2008 Page 2 of 58 LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The documents associated with these four grant programs have been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office and are legally sufficient for Board action. (MMSS) FISCAL IMPACT: If approved, these grant programs will be made available and funded from the FY2009 Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Fund 187 grant budget. Sufficient dollars are available to fund the following grant programs at the requested levels: Shoreline Stabilization Grant at $20,000, Sweat Equity Grant at $20,000, Landscape Improvement Grant at $20,000 and Commercial Building Improvement Grant at $160,000. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Policy 4.7 of the Future Land Use Element of the Growth Management Plan states that redevelopment plans may be developed for specific areas within the County, including the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA, that may consider, alternative land uses, modifications to development standards, and incentives to encourage redevelopment. RECOMMENDA TION: Recommendation for the Board of County Commissioners to adopt an Ordinance amending Ordinance Number 2002-38, as amended, "The Collier County Redevelopment Grant Program Ordinance" to reestablish the two existing grant programs as identified above and to establish two new CRA grant programs as identified above for the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA, and declare the grant programs as serving a valid public purpose.

Sweat Equity Grant Program The Sweat Equity Grant Program (SEG) is a redevelopment initiative funded and administered by the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) as reimbursement for materials used for exterior improvements to residential properties within the Redevelopment Area. Overview of the Program Sweat Equity Grant applications are accepted during two cycles each year: ]. October I through December 30; and 2. May 1 through July 31. Once the grant agreement is executed, grantees have 90 days to complete work. Grantees are permitted to use SEG funds as reimbursement for the cost of materials used to improve the exterior of residential properties (buildings and surrounding area) as well as costs for delivery of materials. Total approved project costs must equal a minimum of $500; the maximum grant award is $1,000. Funds are not pemlitted to be used for "sweat equity," or cost for labor. This grant program is ideal for CRA residents who want to simply "spruce up" the outside of their homes. IMPORTANT: Grantees must perform a minimum of two different improvements to qualify for funding. All improvements must be at Icast partially visible to the public, either from the public right-of-way or some other highly visible location. Grantees generally receive SEG funds in about 45 days after CRA staff visit the site and review all paperwork to verify grantee eligibility (see Required Documentation for Reimbursement below). Applicant Eligibility SEG funding is available for single-family, duplex, triplex, quadriplex and mobile home properties within the CRA. Owner-occupied and rental units are both eligible for funding. SEG funds for mobile home properties will only fund improvements to the surrounding area and not to the mobile home itself. Applicants may only submit one application per year per property. NOTE: Double-Dipping between SEC and SIC Funds "Double Dipping" between SEG and SIG funding is prohibited. Persons who have received SIGs in the past and properties that have been improved with SIG funds in the past are subject to restrictions on the maximum funding amount they can receive for exterior improvements. For SIG recipients who have received less than $8.000 in SIG funds, they are only eligible for SEG funds that will combine with total SIG fund awards of up to $8,000. For SIG recipients who have received $8,000 in SIG funds, they are ineligible for both SIG and SEG awards for three years from the date of the most recent disbursement.

Overview of the Program The CRA encourages everyone with property located on Haldeman Creek to maintain a stabilized shoreline, slowing the rate of sedimentation in the canals. Owners and tenants of residential and commercial properties along Haldeman Creek within CRA boundaries are eligible to receive SSG funding for shoreline improvements.

Overview of the Program Most owners of commercial properties or businesses located within the CRA boundaries may be eligible to receive C-BIG funding. Not-far-profit, 50 I (c) (3) and other private entities such as churches, etc., are not eligible for C-BIG funding but may be eligible for grants through the Site Improvement Grant program. The C-BIG program funds both exterior and interior improvements to qualified commercial buildings in the CRA. Funding for interior improvements is contingent upon grantees performing exterior improvements earning the maximum funding under the C- BIG program. All interior and exterior improvements must be approved by the CRA prior to commencing any C-BIG-funded projects. All exterior improvements must be 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 paperwork (see Required Paperwork for Reimbursement) and verify grantee eligibility. Applicant Eligibility Applicants must own a business or a commercial building within the Redevelopment Area (See map in Appendix A). Eligibility criteria are as follows: · Applicants who are business owners must have a valid occupational license 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 Fonn (attached) from the building owner to construct improvements. · Business owners who rent the building or unit space where their businesses are located are stronglv encouraged to have a lease guaranteeing a fixed rent for 24 months from the time the grant is approved. · For applicants who own commercial buildings with tenant(s), leases for all tenants must reflect that rents are fixed for a period of 6 months with submission of Project Summary Report in order to receive reimbursement. Applicants may submit only one application a year. A business site-defined as the address 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 I EXHIBIT J) Bayshore Gateway Triangle eRA I Co!"'","'crc,i,!'
