CRACommunity Redevelopment Agency
The Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency
was created by the Collier County Board of County
Commissioners on March 14, 2000 by Resolution 2000-82.
The Agency has two redevelopment areas: The Bayshore/
Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Area
(BGTCRA) and Immokalee Community Redevelopment
Area.
The BGTCRA is compromised of approximately 1,800 acres
with a wide range of residential and commercial properties.
The Community Redevelopment Agency is funded through
a mechanism commonly referred to as Tax Increment
Financing or TIF. Incremental revenue is calculated based
on the increase in the taxable property values between
the “frozen” tax base and current taxable value. The
“frozen” tax base was established in 2000. The incremental
increase is deposited into the Community Redevelopment
Trust fund to be used to implement projects identified
in the Community Redevelopment Plan. The 2000 frozen
tax base for the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Community
Redevelopment Area is $288,081,106. The tax value for FY
2021 was $853,583,306, which is $565,502,200 increase in
total property values since 2000. This incremental increase
resulted in a TIF revenue of $2,348,500 for 2021.
Since the adoption of the 2000 Redevelopment Plan, much
has changed within the redevelopment area including:
Bayshore Drive streetscape improvements, pedestrian
pathways, crime reduction, demolition of substandard
housing, new residential development, increased
commercial activity, façade improvements and the opening
of the Naples Botanical Gardens.
In 2019, the Board of County Commissioners approved the
first amendment to the Redevelopment Plan, setting the
vision and implementation plan for the next ten years.

MSTUMunicipal Service Taxing Unit
To improve the coordination and efficiency of project management the BGTCRA took over the
management of the two MSTUs located within the BGTCRA - Bayshore Beautification MSTU and the
Haldeman Creek Dredging MSTU.
A Municipal Service Taxing Unit is a special funding mechanism supported by the property owners
within the unit’s boundaries. A special tax assessment is levied to make improvements and provide
additional services to the district based on the criteria outlined in the enabling ordinance adopted by
the Board of County Commissioners.
The Bayshore Beautification MSTU’s mission is the beautification and maintenance of the public
right-of-way within its defined boundaries. MSTUs are funded through a millage rate set by the
MSTU’s enabling Ordinance and adopted by the Board of County Commissioner’s each year. The
Bayshore Beautification MSTU
rate has remained constant over
the past 5 years and is currently
at 2.3604.
The Haldeman MSTU is charged
with the maintenance and future
dredging of Haldeman Creek.
The Haldeman Creek MSTU
millage rate has remained
constant over the past three
years and is currently at 1.000.
In October 2021, the Board
of County Commissioners
approved the expansion of the
boundaries of the Haldeman
Creek MSTU boundary to
incorporate the Courthouse
Shadows Planned Unit
Development (PUD).
Advisory Boards: The Board of County Commissioners appoints community members to serve on
local advisory boards to provide recommendations on annual budget and project implementation
for each special district. The Local Redevelopment Area Advisory Board was established in 2000 to
provide recommendations to implement the CRA Plan. MSTU Advisory Boards were established in
conjunction with the establishment of the districts.

A ballad from the 1960’s describing a father’s reaction to the growth of
his child – “Turn Around and You’re a Young Man” reminisces about
the milestones the Father crossed as his son grew up.
The Advisory Board of the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Community
Redevelopment Area (BGTCRA) might just share those feelings
expressed in lyrics of this popular melody. This hard-working Board,
some members of which have been actively engaged on the Board
for 20+ years, have watched the development of the BGTCRA from the
Kelly Road days to what this area has matured into today.
And what an extraordinary transformation – the days of Kelly Road have
been left far, far behind, and the BGTCRA has matured into a bustling
and thriving area.
Consider this. The BGTCRA is adjacent to the home of the Minto US
Open Pickleball Tournament, bringing the top players of the world to compete on the courts of the
East Naples Community Park. The first food truck park in Collier County, the Celebration Food Truck
Park, is located on Bayshore. The Maddox Naples, a unique private wine club serving fine wines and
charcuterie, and Rebecca’s, a public wine bar – are slated to open later this year…under the same roof.
Opera Naples completed the renovation of an existing building on Linwood Avenue in 2016/2017
and today, The David and Cecile Wang Opera Center is a sought-after venue for opera and all of the
musical arts. The Wang has acoustics that would rival any larger facility, and the performance intimacy
is unmatched in our region. Metropolitan Opera singers have performed at the Wang, and the
creativity has just started.
The Triangle area is under construction, continuing to transform the area and to establish a vision
of the BGTCRA Board for the future. But as the new rises from the ground, so we say goodbye to
the icon of Bayshore – Del’s 24 Hour Food Store. Founded by Del Ackerman over fifty years ago,
this convenience store was the commercial anchor of the area and never closed due to inclement
weather, such as hurricanes, threats of tornadoes, thunderstorms, etc. The community has named the
intersection of Bayshore and Thomasson where the store sat as “Del’s Corner”.
The length of Thomasson in the CRA has been ‘beautified’ and more parking along Hamilton is under
construction today. Empty lots are being filled with homes. New businesses are opening up.
Congratulations to the BGTCRA for their time and energy growing the area! The Bayshore/Gateway
Triangle Community Redevelopment Area is indeed blossoming with the future.

Naples has its share of pioneers who shaped the community we all
enjoy today, some old time pioneers as well as modern day pioneers. It
was not so long ago that one of those modern-day pioneers, Bill Neal,
single handedly fought to establish our CRA district that has led us to
where we are today. His vision and commitment to help improve our
neighborhoods paved the way and gave our community a voice.
Our residents have used that voice, through the CRA & Sheriff’s office,
to reduce crime over 500% since being established. Blight has all but
vanished because safe neighborhoods are the results of community
involvement, which also increases the tax base. We have stimulated
development, both commercially and ecologically, as in the mini triangle and the Naples Botanical
Gardens. Infrastructure projects implemented have eliminated flooding on Karen Drive and Gateway
neighborhoods and current efforts are addressing drainage problems on Pine Street and Andrews
Avenue areas. Our focus has now turned to having the 17 acres give back to the community in the
form of a park and bridge the connection to Sugden Park. The park will bring us full circle and fulfill
the redevelopment vision Bill Neal
had of connecting not only our
community but giving back to the
residents.

In July 2019, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to begin the review, drafting, and public
hearing process of regulatory changes to implement the adopted 2019 Plan. In January 2020, the review
process began and during 2021 several public meetings were held to receive input and review changes.
In January 2021, the BGTCRA Local Redevelopment Advisory Board recommended approval of the draft
language and to move into the public hearing process. In November 2021, the Planning Commission reviewed
and recommended approval of the changes. The changes are scheduled to be heard by the Board of County
Commissioner during the first quarter of 2022.

The property was acquired by the
CRA in 2009 with the intent to
revitalize a key intersection of the
redevelopment area. In April 2016,
the CRA approved the Purchase and
Sales Agreement (PSA) with Real
Estate Partners International, LLC
(REPI), assigned to Metropolitan
Naples, LLC in October 2020.In
February 2018, the Mini-Triangle
Comprehensive Plan Amendment
and MPUD zoning district were
approved. The Mixed-Use zoning
district allows for a mix of residential
units and commercial uses, including
retail, restaurants, and offices.
Vision is close to becoming a reality
as demolition of the abandoned
commercial structures began in 2021 as well
as site development planning applications
to create three parcels. The intent is to
subdivide the project into three separate
development tracts consistent with the
current zoning approval and allow each tract
to be developed as the market supports
the land use for each individual tract. Parcel
1 will be developed by Naples Triangle
Development containing 270 luxury multi-
family units, parking and approximately 7,600
sf of commercial. Parcel 2 will be developed
by Metropolitan Naples and will consist
of 56 luxury condominiums, parking, and
approximately 6,500 sf of commercial.

BGTCRA PropertiesCatalyst Projects
In January 2021, a request for professional services
to develop a master plan and design, permit and
prepare construction plans to build the connection to
Sugden Regional Park was advertised. In June 2021,
the CRA Board approved the selection committee
and directed staff to negotiate with the top ranked
firm, Stantec Consulting Services Inc. The CRA
received an unsolicited proposal to purchase the
property in 2021 which raised questions regarding
the future development of the property. In November
2021, the BGTCRA Advisory Board recommended
unanimously to approve the design contract and
construct the boardwalk. The contract and the future
plans for the site are pending review by the CRA
Board in 2022.
In 2008, the CRA purchased approximately 17.5 acres
of property to develop a cultural arts destination
in the community. In 2012, the CRA rezoned the
property to the Cultural Arts Mixed Use Planned Unit
Development (MPUD). Over the past 1O years the
CRA has solicited interest from developers to create a
mixed-use site. Based on input and direction received
during the Redevelopment Plan Update, the vision
for the site shifted to park land while maintaining a
cultural arts component.

Del’s Corner
BGTCRA 2021 Accomplishments
In 2016, the Board of County Commissioners voted
unanimously to name the intersection of Thomasson
Drive and Bayshore Drive “Del’s Corner” to recog-
nize Del Ackerman for his many years of community
service.
In November 2020, the CRA acquired Del’s Corner to
further implement the vision for the area as outlined
in the Redevelopment Plan. This 1.84 acre site is
located at the strategic intersection of Thomasson
Drive and Bayshore Drive, which was upgraded as
part of the Thomasson Drive Enhancement project
funded by the Bayshore Beautification Municipal
Services Taxing District (MSTU). The $6 million
project included the signature roundabout at “Del’s
Corner.
On November 5, 2021, a ribbon cutting ceremony
was held to officially dedicate the corner to Del
Ackerman (1936-2019) in recognition of his landmark
establishment, operating for over 57 years and for
his countless meaningful contributions to the com-
munity. A memorial plaque, benches and signage
were installed.

Stormwater
Partnership
Gateway Triangle Stormwater Plan - Future Expansion
The CRA and Collier County are continuing
their partnership in identifying and funding
stormwater improvement projects. Based on
input from the Stormwater subcommittee, the
Local Redevelopment Advisory Board approved
moving forward on stormwater improvements
for two areas. A notice to proceed was issued in
November 2021, to Bolt Engineering to complete
a scope of work for three streets in the Bayshore
community – Becca, Weeks, and Pine. A scope
of work is being negotiated for two streets in the
Gateway Triangle community- Linwood Way and
Bayside Street. This work includes site assessment
through 100% construction plans and permitting
as well as post design services. These projects
are funded by the CRA and managed by Collier
County Stormwater staff.
In June 2021, the CRA in partnership with Collier
County purchased 2732 Frances Avenue in
the Gateway Triangle area to facilitate future
stormwater needs in relationship to the existing
stormwater pond that was constructed in 2008.
Both agencies are contributing funds for the
purchase and demolition of the existing structure.
Demolition is scheduled for 2022.
BGTCRA 2021 Accomplishments
The development of a public art plan for the
community was identified in the 2019 CRA Plan
as one of the short-term non-capital projects to
implement the vision of the community. Public
meetings began in the first quarter of 2020 and
the draft plan was presented and adopted by the
Collier County Board of Commissioners (BCC) on
July 13, 2021.
The plan includes items to be addressed in the
first six months; two of which were accomplished
in 2021:
• The County established a new position – Arts
and Cultural Manager to implement the Arts
& Cultural Strategic Plan and other duties. The
position was posted and anticipated to be filled
during the first quarter of 2022.
• Ordinance 2021-49 was approved by the BCC
on December 14, 2021 establishing the Public Art
Committee (PAC). This seven-member advisory
committee will review proposals to provide public
artwork and make recommendations to the BCC
for final approval. Posting for the committee
member vacancies is anticipated for first quarter
2022.

BGTCRA 2021 Accomplishments
In 2018, the CRA purchased a vacant lot at the corner of Coco and Bayshore Drive to develop a public
parking lot to help with the increasing demand for public parking along the revitalized corridor.
The $437,772 construction project began in December 2020 and was completed in August 2021.
The new parking lot provides 37 spaces, two spaces for ridesharing vehicles, and an underground
stormwater system. The heritage tree on the corner was preserved and now provides a park-like
setting for the community to enjoy with benches and Adirondack chairs. An electric car charging
station will be installed in 2022. There is also space for future public art installations.

MHK Architects opened their new corporate office space at 2059 Tamiami Trail in 2021 and completed
the work associated with the $46,094 commercial reimbursement grant which included exterior
landscaping and lighting improvements and interior improvements. The conversion of the former
night club space sets a high standard for redevelopment along this prime commercial corridor.

“Patience is a virtue” must have been coined by
someone working with local governments. I have
come to believe that Bayshore is an extremely
virtuous community. Our patience finally paid off
this past year with the long awaited completion
of the Thomason Drive project. Without the
generosity of Del deeding us the right-of-way on
the now coined Del’s corner, the commitment
of our volunteer board, an incredible level of
community support and our amazing staff we
would still be dealing with the dysfunctional
4-way stop. The Bayshore MSTU is a model for all
to see what can be accomplished when you keep
an idea laser focused.
Not to be outshined, the multitude of daily
tasks keep us busy as we maintain everything
we have improved. This year’s Holiday lighting,
ongoing irrigations challenges and dealing with
developmental changes to our landscaped
corridor keeps us busy. Hopefully we will be
again meeting at the Botanical Gardens as we
enter the New Year and seeing all who support
our efforts to keep Bayshore in Bloom.

Thomasson Drive Beautification Project
Bayshore BeautificationSignature Project
On June 30, 2021, the community gathered to celebrate the completion of the Thomasson Drive
Enhancement Project and hoist the American Flag for the first time. The $6,022,000 project consists
of the signature roundabout at the intersection of Thomasson Drive and Bayshore Drive, new 6-foot-
wide sidewalks, improved drainage, bike lanes, decorative street lighting, signage and Florida-friendly
landscaping along Thomasson Drive from Orchard Lane to Hamilton Avenue. For over eight years the
Bayshore Beautification MSTU Advisory Board focused on completing this project including raising
the six million dollars. The year-long project was completed on time and under budget.
The 8 foot by 12 foot American flag was hoisted by
ET Brisson Detachment MCL, Marine Corps League
of Naples. Marco Kircher did an outstanding
performance singing the National Anthem and God
Bless America. Commissioner Taylor and Maurice
Gutierrez, Chairman of the Bayshore Beautification
MSTU shared remarks on the project’s history
and impact on the community. On behalf of the
Bayshore Beautification MSTU sincere thank you to
all those that participated in this project over the
years. Projects such as these would not be possible
without the cooperation, teamwork and dedication
of several individuals and organizations.

2021 Accomplishments
Bayshore Beautification
Special thanks to Jim Bixler, Bayshore Beautification
MSTU Advisory Board member for his outstanding
volunteer service as landscape advisory and worker.
His dedication and commitment to creating a vibrant
and beautiful community is greatly appreciated. The MSTU assisted in providing a colorful welcome
for the 5th Annual US Open Pickleball Championship
held at East Naples Community Park every April.
Bayshore Beautification MSTU partnered with Moorhead
Manor Mobile Home Park Homeowners Association to
develop a License Agreement to provide enhanced
landscape improvements along Bayshore Drive. The
$55,000 grant allows the enhanced landscaping within
the private property: freeing up the right of way portion
for installation of a wider sidewalk at a future date.
Per the agreement the MSTU may make future improve-
ments such as additional landscaping, hardscape, or
additional lighting. The MSTU welcomes the opportunity
to partner with other property owners along Bayshore
Drive to develop similar agreements to enhance the
public realm.

2021 was an interesting year as COVID increased boat traffic on Haldeman Creek.
One resident recorded 200 “passes” on his outside video camera. This number
was assumed to be an even split of residents and those just out for a boat ride to
visit or view Celebration Food Truck Park. It seems that boating was one of the
things boaters could do despite the pandemic.
Our activities included working with various governmental groups to get
‘derelict’ boats removed from Haldeman Creek. This a slow process, but at this
writing two have been removed and two are pending. Another project coming to
an end is updating and renewing dredging permits so that any future dredge will
be easier to permit. We are concerned about some areas where mangrove growth
is limiting visibility and impacting boaters ability to navigate safely.
The deteriorated seawall at the end of Mangrove Street has been replaced thanks to the efforts of county
staff. Over the summer our County Commissioner convened a meeting of representatives from Florida Fish &
Wildlife, Collier County Sheriff, Naples Marine Patrol, and the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA. The focus of this
meeting was safety on the waterway, namely speeding boats not adhering to the Slow Speed/Minimum Wake
requirement. This meeting has resulted in increased patrols on Haldeman Creek. Residents have appreciated
this effort.
For 2022 we will continue to measure and monitor sediment increases on Haldeman Creek so we can better
predict budget requirements to insure we have the funds available for any future dredge project.
Stay safe and enjoy the waterways!

The consulting firm, Humiston and Moore Engineers,
P.A. was hired in 2019 to conduct an analysis of the
current conditions of Haldeman Creek to assist in
the determination of future dredging needs. The
consultant’s work included three phases: existing
conditions (Bathymetric survey); analysis and
determination of future dredge; timeframe and
permitting.
Humiston and Moore completed the survey and
analysis in 2019. Based on comparison of date
between the last dredge in 2007 and 2019, the impact
from Hurricane Irma (2017) was minimal and dredging
was not warranted in the short term. However, the
survey did suggest that spot dredging in the future
may be necessary. The consultants moved into
the permitting phase and applied to the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for a
permit. On December 16, 2019, FDEP issued a notice
that the proposed future dredge would be exempt
from the need to obtain a regulatory permit from
FDEP.
In December 2019, staff submitted an application to
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to conduct
a maintenance dredge of approximately 706,656
square feet from Haldeman Creek and adjacent
canals. On September 13, 2021, Corps issued notice
that the project was permitted under the Nationwide
Permit (NWP) Number 35 until March 18, 2022. Staff
will be submitting a request to renew that permit prior
to the expiration date.
Courthouse Shadows Planned Unit Development
was amended to allow for the redevelopment of the
former shopping center in 2019. The scope of the
redevelopment project includes demolishing a vacant
commercial strip-mall and developing up to 300
multi-family residential units and amenities on the 20-
acre site. The project will have access to Haldeman
Creek. One of the commitments to the rezoning to
accommodate the development was to participate
in the Haldeman Creek MSTU. As part of the PUD
rezoning, the owner committed to participating in the
MSTU if residential development occurred. In March
2021, the development of 300 multi-family units were
approved and construction commenced. In October
2021, the Board of County Commissioners approved
the expansion to include the Courthouse Shadows
development.

Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) refers to a public entity created
by Collier County to implement the activities outlined under Chapter 163 of
theFloridaStatutes.TheBoardofCountyCommissioners(BCC),istheex-officio
governing Board of the CRA.
On March 14, 2000, the BCC adopted Resolutions 2000-82 and
2000-83, establishing the Collier County CRA and identifying
two areas within unincorporated Collier County as areas
in need of redevelopment. On June 13, 2000 the BCC
adopted Resolution 2000-181 adopting the Community
Redevelopment. The Plan lays out the framework of goals,
objectives, and strategies to support the community vision.
ThefirstamendmenttotheplanwasapprovedonApril23,
2019.
In 2016, Resolution 2016-198 was adopted to revise the bylaws to
clarifythemembershipandtermsofofficeoftheImmokaleeLocal
Redevelopment Advisory Board. The purpose of this nine-member
committee is to be the primary vehicle for community and professional
input to the CRA for matters relating to the Immokalee Redevelopment Area.
Terms are for three years.
How is CRA funding created?
Property values in the CRA are capped, or frozen, at the assessed value for an
established base year (2000). Thereafter, any tax revenues due to increases in property
values in excess of the base are dedicated to the redevelopment area. The generated
revenueisknownastaxincrementfinancing(TIF)andisusedintheImmokaleeCRA
to leverage its redevelopment efforts. The 2000 frozen tax base for the Immokalee
Community Redevelopment Area is $148,645,590. The tax value for FY 2021 was
$363,739,441, which is a $215,093,851 increase in total property values since 2000.
This incremental increase resulted in a TIF revenue of $893,300 for 2021.

Immokalee Community Redevelopment Plan will be
prepared consistent with the policies of the Immokalee
Area Master Plan adopted as part of the County’s
Growth Management Plan on December 10, 2019.
From February 2021 through August 2021, staff
began an online survey with a variety of questions to
solicit public input on the following topics: Cultural
Survey, Recreation Survey, Housing Survey, Economic
Development Survey, and Transportation Survey. A
Community Kick-off Hybrid Meeting was held in March
2021. The community input meeting was held in
December 2021 and it highlighted the goals, objectives,
and strategies. Goals included Celebrating Culture,
Economic Development, Housing, Infrastructure, and
Plan Implementation/Administration.
The next step is CRA endorsement of the Final
Redevelopment Plan, which is tentatively set for
February 2022. Planning Commission will be April 2022
and Board of County Commissioners Adoption will be
May 2022.

Immokalee Impact Fee Installment Payment Pilot Program
Collier County Opportunity Zone Program:
On July 11, 2017, the BCC adopted
Ordinance 2017-34 that established an
Impact Fee Installment Payment Pilot
Program for the Immokalee CRA. The
ordinance provides an alternative to paying
impact fees in full as a prerequisite for the
issuanceofaCertificateofOccupancy.
A fee payer may pay impact fees in
installments rather than a lump sum by
entering into an impact fee installment
payment program agreement with
Collier County. This arrangement allows
installment payments as a special
assessment levied as non-ad valorem tax
against the subject property. The program
took effect October 1, 2017. The program
wasmodifiedinJuly2021.
The program is for areas within the
Immokalee CRA Boundary.
- Pay your impact fees in installments over
30 years.
- Available for single-family, multi-family
and commercial projects.
- Non-ad valorem special assessment on
propertytaxbill.2.24%fixedinterestrate
(2021 applicants).
- An approved agreement must be
executed and recorded prior to issuance of
aCertificateofOccupancyorpaymentof
impact fees.
- Assessment is superior to all other liens,
titles and claims, except state, county and
municipal taxes.
Low Tax Opportunity Zones, established by the
federal Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, encourage
long-term investment and job creation in targeted
communities by reducing taxes for many job
creators. They enhance the ability to attract
businesses,developersandfinancialinstitutionsto
invest in targeted areas by allowing investors to defer
capital gains taxes through investments in federally
established Opportunity Funds.
These zones allow private investors to support
distressed communities through private equity
investment in business and real estate ventures.
The incentive is deferral, reduction and potential
elimination of certain federal capital gains taxes. U.S.
investors hold trillions of dollars in unrealized capital
gainsinstocksandmutualfundsalone,asignificant
untapped resource for economic development.
Immokalee has 3 Census Tracts included in the
Opportunity Zone. The Immokalee Regional Airport
has parcels of shovel-ready land in the Opportunity
Zone.

A Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) is a funding mechanism where
community members, with Board approval, assess themselves to make
improvements to their neighborhood and/or community area and provide
additional services based on community desires.

studies and conceptual plans for the purpose of relocating existing
decorative light poles, considering the future street lighting and
pedestrian safety improvements. Additionally, it included reviewing
and providing recommendations for the location of new pedestrian
crosswalks, and the location of new landscape and hardscape
elements. Estimated construction costs and long-term maintenance
costs were included with the feasibility studies.

The single negotiated contract for designing both the stormwater treatment facility
in the SE corner (Tract 3) of Arrowhead Reserve and the pathway and needed
drainage improvements along Lake Trafford Road from Little League Road to Tippins
Terrace was applied for by the Board of County Commissioners in 2021. County staff
is looking at phasing the construction, with Phase 1 being the Arrowhead Tract 3 site
and Phase 2 being the pathway and drainage west of Little League Road. Design for
Phase 1 was completed in 2021 and construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in
the last quarter of 2022. Phase 2 design is anticipated to begin in 2022.
The original Immokalee Stormwater Master Plan (ISWMP) was prepared by H.W. Lochner (2005). Camp Dresser & McKee (CDM) was
contracted in 2010 to prepare construction plans for the Downtown Immokalee and Immokalee Drive projects plus update the ISWMP.
On November 28, 2018 county staff presented the follow-up analysis.
On the northeastern side of Immokalee,
county staff obtained BCC approval
