V.Adoption of Agenda Al Schantzen made the motion to adopt the agenda that was second by Maurice Gutierrez. Approved Unanimously. VI.Public To be Heard (Non-Agenda Items) Brett Gerke voiced his concerns about the situation created by a developer in his neighborhood who’s apparently building a two-story building complex that now seems to be a four-story building located near his home at 3015 Connecticut Attachment 1-Item 7a 2 Avenue, Naples. He has been living in the Gateway Triangle for 35 years, is concerned that people from the development are looking down on his home and when his wife arrives at home there is a lot of noise from the project construction that doesn’t allow her to sleep because she works a third shift. Neighbors are thinking of selling their properties because of this development. He presented some photos to be reveiwed by the board about his concerns. Mr. Gerke provided pictures to Shirley Garcia about his issues. Kristin Hood stated that the development that Mr. Gerke is referring to the structure is next to his house and this project was brought up multiple times because they felt it was too close to the existing homes than what is allowed. The CRA has a fiduciary responsibility, not to displace people from their homes. The developer didn’t have to do a Public Hearing because there were exceptions granted by the CRA for this project because the neighborhood is so old. John Dunnuck proposed finding out the gaps concerning this specific project having the facts that are creating issues and if a change in the building code is required. Mr. Dunnuck assured the community that the staff will review the project and bring back the determination under the land development code. VII. Approval of Consent Agenda a) June 4, Meeting Minutes b) Financials Al Schantzen made the motion to adopt the minutes as it was written that was second by Kristin Hood. Approved Unanimously. VIII. Community and Staff Presentations a) Public Safety Report by Sheriff’s Office Unable to attend. b) Connecticut / Shadowlawn Development – Mike Whalen, New Era (Not Present) Gabriel Mejia came to the meeting on behalf of Mike Whalen and explained details of the project for two buildings with four units and their amenities. Kristin Hood was worried about the trees being a buffer to the public that Gabriel stated that would be twelve feet high. To date the developer doesn’t have a date for the Planning Commission. Al Schantzen made some comments to Gabriel Mejia concerning the enhancing of the buffer to get a density bonus of the property. Al also stated clearly that he doesn’t support the density bonus for these units until the board receives additional information from the developer concerning noise buffering, pickleball courts and mitigation of landscaping. Shirley Garcia made comments to Gabriel Mejia that the board needs more information from the owner about complying with all the information required from them to address all concerns from the county. Maurice Guttierrez inquired about sidewalks and underground parking confirming that this is a 3-story building. Laura DeJohn from Johnson Engineering stated that there are defined criteria for decisions to be made about a limited density, bonus, allocation, and in making any guidance, or advice to the applicant, by using the criteria as your guide support recommendations. The CRA Board would like to invite the owner of record return back and have all their concerns addressed at their publicly noticed meeting. Ms. Scott recommended the board request specific types of amenities they would like to request for their consideration of approval for density bonus units. c) 3010 Tamiami Trail E - Item 10, Page 4 of 15 / PL20220006931 Brandon Crawford representing Famous engineering - Is the second time presenting this project including some modifications with the board last recommendations. Commercial Suite with approximately 2250 square feet on top of the existing real estate office that's already on site that's about 2500 sf. We are reducing those units from three bedrooms to two bedrooms, which will allow eight units of two bedrooms and parking of 22 spaces required and we're providing 23. 3 The developer is proposing to maintain rooftop amenities including a pool and sun deck. We reduce the commercial square footage by about 1200 square feet. We'll be providing the county required landscape buffering, which is a 20-foot, type D up front, adjacent to 41 and adjacent to Residential to the East is a 10-foot type B with a wall; to the South a 10- foot type B with a wall and to the Southwest, it's a 10-foot type A landscape buffer, which is the commercial requirement. Density requested of 12 units per acre. Drew Paul, owner of the property and developer is concerned about constant homeless people around the rebuilt real state office building (Old Pizza Hut building) after invested more than $1.2 million dollars and $500,000 in renovations and scrutiny from Collier County building codes. Kristin Hood explained the problems developing old neighborhoods concerning the building code and all commercial areas have a new code already in place. The biggest concern was parking, and that problem has been resolved by the developer. Maurice Gutierrez made a final statement “I think, sometimes from the Public's view, we either are not diligent enough or too diligent and we really sit here. We're sitting but we walk a fine line. I thank you for your revisions. I feel it's within scope. It's not intrusive to adjacent neighborhoods and I think that's something that's very important. As we just saw in the previous presentation, about the impacts going to have to the community meaning existing homeowners.” Maurice Gutierrez made a motion to approve the project and it was second by Karen Beatty. The motion was unanimously approved. d) Development Report by Laura DeJohn, Johnson Engineering- Monthly updates on any activities that have happened with development applications at the Collier growth management office.

Note: Projects highlighted in red color don’t have any activity. IX. Old Business 4 X. New Business a) Bonnie Hawley Advisory Board Application- Maurice Gutierrez made a motion to approve Bonnie’s application and it was second by Kristin Hood. The motion was unanimously approved. XI. Advisory Board and General Communications a) Code Enforcement- John Johnson, Collier County Code Enforcement and currently Interim Supervisor stated: “My district is East Naples all of the Bayshore area all the way to Naples Sandpiper Bay to the edge of the city that runs along 41. Individual case calls need to go through the CRA group and by texting 311 they will come to the customer service group. Domestic Animal Services for Collier County also merged with the Code Enforcement.” I received a complaint about the easement swale on Jeepers Drive, each property is responsible for maintaining 10 foot from the fence to their backyard, and must have nothing in it, but apparently some people have sheds back there and other things. Homeowners are responsible for identifying the guy at the end of their property and get that end opened because the water is supposed to flow in that direction. That's the plumbing system and we're having a problem up on the Bayshore with flooding because of storm water. Over the years there are now property rights that are vested and can be a challenge that blocks the storm water path to the flow rate. But this 10-foot piece behind each one of these properties is a six-inch square. They call it a shallow swale, that doesn't carry much water. b) Public Comments David Warner was concerned about a variance for 10-feet X 120 feet dock protruding into Haldeman Creek. Shirley Garcia stated that the application was not completed so there are no worries about this project for now. All the homes including 2998 that was owned by Kate Riley at the time pitched in and all the property owners fought those 50 docks and won. Now they're down to 15 parallel docks because they were extending the Navajo walkway, and it was not allowed. Shirley has the planning and then also she is going to email them to keep her updated so the planner will automatically email her when they have newer information. David Warner that lives on Becca Ave in Naples, asked for a time frame to resolve these issues, but he was only assured that the CRA will look at the facts concerning the project. c) Correspondence We have a 311 flyer that we would like to see it emailed it to the distribution list. So, we might have any comments about that or questions. d) CRA Staff i. Joint Workshop Presentation Discussion John Dunnick - CRA Director, mentioned that he is pushing forward the meeting on July 23rd and the workshop will begin at 9:00 AM. We will be the first item of the day. There will be a few representatives up at the front table, the rest of the committee. We had 23 on the list that had committed between the Immokalee board and the Bayshore advisory board. It’s 5 been two years since we've had this workshop with the board. We're going to go over some of the financials, but time is not our friend right now. Five years is not a long time to work off a sunset of the amount of projects we want to do and accomplish and we're not going to have all the answers in two weeks, but we're going to have what I consider a path forward to get to the answers for the fall, for this board to actually be making recommendations getting into the board of County Commissioners and moving forward. In the future, we want to stay focused on other things that are important for this community and things along those lines. I think it's good for the commission to hear it because it's been a while, and we'll get through all that going with the plan for five to seven years. We were setting our priorities and narrowing them down. I'll email to you the stormwater project PowerPoint slide and it needs to be cleaned up a little bit, but it's actually very good. The opportunity of bough some land in the Triangle for the storm water towards the bigger expansion of the pond is a big major project, and we can get it done. We must figure out if it was worth it or not and if we need to buy more land. I can tell you those two Parcels right now aren't enough to do anything really, and if we have some Land Development code challenges that we need to address, I think that it is a full plate for five years. i. Christmas Decorations Update John Dunnick - The max budget that we had for Christmas is $50,000, that's based on what we spent last year; $26,000 for basic decorations. So, this year, it should be much less than $50,000. It should be maybe the cost of the installation. But we still want it to be good, decorating Bayshore because I think there's just great opportunities to bring the community together. I mean, you have these kind of events and People to bring people in and that's what we're trying to do. We're trying to have people walking and visiting our restaurants and seeing what has happened in the community, creating a good vibe and you know that that's how you can attract developers; it's an opportunity to see what's going on. Shirley Garcia commented that it's helpful for the kids in the community that are underserved. I mean, we have a lot of that in this community, they're walking, their parents don't drive, or they don't have vehicles in their house to visit various places. it's nice for the kids and their families to come through the neighborhood and see that we have at least decorated so that they have something nice and lit. ii. Projects Report Tam i Scott project manager –17 Acres. I'm happy to announce that we are going out to bid with our Boardwalk project on either Friday or Monday. So that's a huge milestone. The bids will be due back on August 29th. In the in the middle of that, we'll have what's called a pre-bid meeting. Contractors will come to the procurement office with a list of questions and answers once they go through the drawings. So, it's a 30-day process. Collier County requires you to pick the lowest bidder as you know. We do have a lot of “alternates” as part of this bid. And that will be our opportunity to look at finishes and materials. And we'll bring that back to this board to make those decisions. When we started this about a year ago, the opinion of costs was 2.7 million the opinion of cost which is our requirement when we submitted for the procurement is at 3.3 million. We have the money in place, we have 3.7 million so there's a $400,000 additional money, but we built into this this contract add alternates so that we can value engineering if we need to. Does not include any parking. You know, at one point in time, there was a discussion about adding some surface parking one on the deeper slot, an area on the deeper slot and then one Closer to that building. We did get a proposal from Stantec who part of their initial proposal was now. It's not a requirement of the site development plan but it was a request from the board. The fees for that were around $150,000 to build those two are around $500,000 each. Unfortunately, we can't just throw Stone on the lot. GMD will require it to be built to code, it will be similar to the CRA parking lot, And then, it does have to go back to the board for their approval to select that contractor based on cost and then Aesthetics and maintenance. 6 e) Advisory Board i. Shadowlawn Corridor Presentation by Kristin Hood Kristin Hood - So this is regarding connectivity and aligning all our different projects and really getting the grasp of all that we're doing within the district. A lot of our projects have been people to be one thing and not communicate to the rest of what we're doing. For the ascent building that's been created in Bayshore or in the mini triangle there's been no discussion about connecting the triangle with Bayshore, having them communicate in any way. They're both treated very separately and Shadowlawn and the Gateway triangle needs to be a part of the vision. We're connecting a boardwalk right now to Sugden, which is not in the district but we're not looking at how we can connect our own District. The triangle is called the “Gateway triangle.” Shadowlawn has been overlooked as far as walkability. The light at Shadowlawn and Bayshore you sit at it forever and even when you do finally get to cross over, you're competing against the people taking left off Bayshore. To be able to cross the street, we don't even have a designated light time to be able to cross. I think that we need to have some sort of amenities that could be built into the infrastructure having a safer feel for the neighborhood. Those big buildings that are going in the mini triangle need something to be able to connect those people without adding more vehicles. We can't look at just sidewalks here and just storm water on the other side. We need to find a way that all communicates together enhancing the vision of what we're trying to do. I think if we gave developers a vision of what we want to do with Dell's corner, we can sell that property but without any sort of vision we want to have this corner as designated public realm then it's a free for all. I think that we can offer businesses opportunities to Market, even on our existing light poles, we could sell those spots and offer advertising to create Revenue to put towards. If we really wanted to spend more on Christmas lights, then we could sell some of those light pole spots or rent them for the month of December. We should look at what we're going to do overall so that it all flows together and it all feels like it's cohesive because right now Shadowlawn is a two-lane road and we have a lot of stuff happening there.

Zoning Verification Letter (ZLTR): PL20230017151 Location: 2377 & 2305 Davis Blvd.(+/-3.92 acres between Brookside Dr. & Pine St.) Owner: Katlou, LLC Status: Request for ZVL submitted on 11/16/2023. Zoning Verification Letter issued on 12/12/2023. See also page 8, PL20230016406 - Village Plaza SDP Pre App meeting held 11/15/23. Contract purchaser (Old Naples Acquisitions, LLC) requests a supplemental ZVL to clarify which development standards apply to a Live Local Act project, i.e., the RMF-16 or the Overlay development standards. Staff verified that a qualified project with at least 40% of units committed to be affordable for households earning less than 120% of the area median income for at least 30 years can develop at 91.77 units per acre and maximum height of 162.8 feet, and all other development standards of the RMF-16 Zoning District. At their April 9, 2024 meeting, the BCC determined PUDs are not to be considered for setting the “highest allowed density” in the County and “highest allowed height within one mile of the development.” Based on the new policy to exclude PUDs, the highest density allowed by the Growth Management Plan density rating system would be 25 units per acre, and the highest currently allowed height within one mile of the proposed development would be per conventional zoning districts. The tallest allowed heights of all conventional zoning districts are Residential Tourist (RT) at 10 stories/100 feet; and RMF-16 and C-4 at 75 feet. 30. 3091 Tamiami Trl. E Workforce Housing (ZLTR): PL20230016985 Location: 3091 Tamiami Trail E (corner of US 41 & Andrew Drive) Owner: Nicks Rest & Houka Lounge Inc # 1 Status: Request for ZVL submitted on 11/13/2023. Zoning Verification Letter issued on 1/17/2024. Revised letter issued 5/08/2024. Staff verified that a project qualifying under the Live Local Act is allowed a maximum zoned building height of 160 feet and actual height of 162.8 feet, and that the RMF-16 development standards are the most applicable as they are the most similar in density to what is permitted on site. If not qualifying under the Live Local Act, maximum density possible is 16 units per acre in Activity Center #16 or 12 units per acre using the density bonus pool of the BGT Redevelopment Overlay. At their April 9, 2024 meeting, the BCC determined PUDs are not to be considered for setting the “highest allowed density” in the County and “highest allowed height within one mile of the development.” Based on the new policy to exclude PUDs, the highest density allowed by the Growth Management Plan density rating system would be 25 units per acre, and the highest currently allowed height within one mile of the proposed development would be per conventional zoning districts. The tallest allowed heights of all conventional zoning districts are Residential Tourist (RT) at 10 stories/100 feet; and RMF-16 and C-4 at 75 feet. 31. 17-Acre Bayshore Project (SDP): PL20230002535 Location: 4315 & 4265 Bayshore Drive Owner: Collier County Bayshore CRA Status: Pre-application meeting held on 3/2/2023.

Davis Village (SDPI): PL20230018545 Location: 2800 Davis Blvd. Owner: Midnight Commercial Investments LLC Status: First applicant submittal on 12/28/2023. Additional documents submitted on 1/3/2024. First staff review letter issued on 1/22/2024. Second applicant submittal on 4/22/2024. SDPI approval issued on 4/26/2024. The purpose of this SDPI is to address the outdoor dining associated with the Midnight Tavern (Units 108 through 110 within the 2800 Building) with adjacent landscaping. Also, there is supplemental landscaping needed within the project and at the adjacent 2770 Building. Separately an administrative parking reduction (APR) will be needed to verify that there is sufficient parking to support the outdoor dining request. The APR will be submitted following a parking count that will be conducted during the peak season (early February 2024). Outdoor dining has been present at this location for many years, however the prior owner had not obtained county approval and when Midnight Tavern took over a few years ago they were not aware of the lack of a permit, which they are now looking to correct. A notice of violation (NOV) was issued by Collier County Code Enforcement (CELU20230006700) and approval of this SDPI will help address the NOV. Davis Village Administrative Parking Reduction (APR): PL20240002201 Status: First applicant submittal on 2/20/2024. Staff issued incomplete submittal letter on 2/23/2024 and 3/8/2024. Additional documents submitted on 3/15/2024. APR approval issued on 4/12/2024. Midnight Tavern has 32 seats associated with their outdoor dining that was part of the prior restaurant that they purchased. Based on 32 seats, 16 parking spaces are required, which translates into a deficit of 13 parking spaces based on code criteria. Per the applicant, the actual operations of the center demonstrate that there is not in fact a parking issue at Davis Village. 33.

Zoning Verification Letter issued on 10/18/2023. Applicant seeks verification of the Live Local Act applicability. Staff’s letter indicates the site is zoned C-3GTZO-MXD, maximum permittable residential density is 91.77 units per acre, and the maximum permissible building height is 165 feet, if at least 40 percent of the residential units are dedicated to income limitations of 120 percent or below of Area Median Income (AMI), for a period of at least 30 years. All development standards of the RMF-16 district, except for density and height, will apply under the Live Local Act. At their April 9, 2024 meeting, the BCC determined PUDs are not to be considered for setting the “highest allowed density” in the County and “highest allowed height within one mile of the development.” Based on the new policy to exclude PUDs, the highest density allowed by the Growth Management Plan density rating system would be 25 units per acre, and the highest currently allowed height within one mile of the proposed development would be per conventional zoning districts. The tallest allowed heights of all conventional zoning districts are Residential Tourist (RT) at 10 stories/100 feet; and RMF-16 and C-4 at 75 feet.

Request: The Advisory Board requested staff research the project to determine if the duplex had exemptions, special allowances, and or variances to build the new duplexes. Determination: 1.

Attachment 3- Item 9a Memorandum To: BGTCRA Local Redevelopment Advisory Board From: Shirley Garcia, Program Manager Subject: Purchase 2695 Francis Ave for Gateway Triangle Stormwater Expansion Project Date: November 8, 2023 Request: This serves to request a motion to approve the purchase of 2695 Francis Ave for $1,390,000, closing costs and appraisal fee specifically for the purpose of expanding the Gateway Triangle Stormwater Pond and to continue negotiations and purchase of 2663 Francis Ave for purchase at a later date. Background & Analysis: In 2007 the CRA staff had identified properties within the Gateway Triangle to purchase and to dredge up creating the Gateway Triangle Tertiary Stormwater Pond. The area was inundated with catastrophic flooding and deteriorating the residential and commercial businesses within the CRA area and causing health, safety and welfare conditions. In 2008 the CRA Staff had researched grant opportunities, applied for and received funding to pay for the construction and the mechanical pump station that is currently existing at the pond. Staff had met with Stormwater Maintenance staff to determine if the current pump would be able to accommodate extending the pond and increasing the capacity of additional stormwater being pumped in that included all of the properties the CRA currently owns and aspire to buy. Without the additional properties identified above, the stormwater division stated it would not be feasible and recommends not expanding the pond with only 2664 and 2732 Francis Ave. Recommendations: The recommendation from Stormwater and CRA Staff is to purchase 2695 Francis Ave now since it is currently listed for sale and purchase 2663 Francis Ave at a later date since the property is not for sale, but the owners are willing to negotiate with the CRA anytime we are ready.

This tour will start with a meet and greet in Dunedin’s new City Hall. From there, a walk- ing tour will take place where tour guides will present numerous current and future public and private initiatives such as streetscape projects, shared enhanced parking lots, park improvements, a parking garage site and adap- tive reuse and creative public/private real estate deals. Along the way, participants will also see what Down- town Dunedin is known for: a quaint feel with boutique shops, an active Pinellas Trail and cafes and restaurants. Downtown Dunedin also features many forms of mobility. You will get to see not only cars, but golf carts, bicycles, trolleys, Freebee rides, tiki rides and a ferry by the marina that brings in guests from Clearwater. 7:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Tour (streetcar and walking): Downtown Tampa to Ybor City: Streetcar Ride and Historic District Walking Tour (additional fee of $50.00) Tour participants will experience a ride on the TECO Line Streetcar System from Downtown Tampa to historic Ybor City and back.

We will meet in the hotel lobby and take a short walk to a reserved streetcar and meet our tour guides. From there, we will travel north through Downtown Tampa and Channel District and see the major redevelopment projects that have transformed Tampa’s downtown into a thriving neighborhood adjacent to bustling commercial waterfront and popular visitor destinations. We will be greeted by a developer of the channel district who will share their story. As we continue north crossing Adamo Drive, you will see the new Gasworx mixed use development project, which is under construc- tion and meet with a member of their development team. Once in Ybor City, we will exit the streetcar to begin our historic district walking tour of Ybor City, Tampa’s National Historic Landmark District.

The Main Street Neighborhood Commercial District will be an attractive, vibrant commer- cial district that reflects the community’s rich history and culture. It will be safe, walkable, connected, thriving and beautiful. Main Street and Howard Avenue will be a place where residents and visitors gather to socialize and where residents can access the goods and services they want without the need to leave their neighborhood. The next stop will be the Skills Center in East Tampa. This $23 mil- lion project received a Special Projects grant to redevelop an old skating rink that had been closed for the better part of two decades while remediating the blight that #FRA2024 • 4 THE FLOTHE FLORRIDAIDA ASSOCIATIONASSOCIATIONpreviously existed. The Skills Center serves over 3,500 youth annually through youth sports and nonprofit youth development-related programming. East Tampa’s Memo- rial Park Cemetery is the final resting place for over 900 African American Veterans. The East Tampa CRA and City of Tampa Parks and Recreation Department have part- nered to enhance the existing cemetery and the overall aesthetics. The final stop on the tour is the J.C. Newman Cigar Company factory, which sits within the southwest- ern portion of the East Tampa CRA. Founded in 1895 by Julius Caeser Newman, J.C. Newman Cigar Company is the oldest family-owned premium cigarmaker in America. For four generations and 128 years, J.C. Newman has been handcrafting many of the world’s finest cigars. J.C.

Born into the legacy of the world-renowned Colum- bia Restaurant, founded by his great-grandfather in 1905, Richard’s journey began at a tender age when he learned the art of identifying fresh fish from his grandfa- ther. This early immersion laid the foundation for his life- long dedication to storytelling through the art of food. Richard is a graduate of Tampa’s Jesuit High School and continued his education at the University of Denver School of Hotel and Restaurant Management. He later attended the Escuela de Turismo y Hosteleria in Madrid, Spain, and in 2022, he received an honorary doctorate in business administration conferred by the University of South Florida. Under Richard’s direction, Columbia Restaurant expand- ed from two locations to seven. He also developed Cha Cha Coconuts in Sarasota in 1989. He opened Ulele in August 2014, which is listed as Michelin Recommended in the Florida Michelin Guide for 2022 and 2023. He then introduced Ulele’s second location at the Tampa International Airport as well as Café con Leche Ybor City in 2017. Paying homage to Sicilian immigrants in Ybor, Gonzmart opened Casa Santo Stefano in November 2020. Richard is a compassionate philanthropist dedicated to fostering positive change. His commitment to commu- nity service is deeply ingrained in the Gonzmart family’s legacy, with a focus on education, health care and com- munity welfare. 2:15 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall 2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. Temporary Outdoor Public Exhibitions and Artful Infusion This session explores how an outdoor temporary public art exhibit in a downtown exhibition is done.

Interstate highways are cutting up small Florida towns with commercial and personal vehicles, making it unsafe for cyclists and pedestrians and destroying city centers. Highways such as SR 27 and US 41 that converge in downtown Williston have torn apart its historic downtown. Seeking to recon- nect its community, Williston is collaborating with plan- ners, urban designers, and landscape architects to foster the redevelopment of downtown Main Street Williston. Learn how the community is overcoming the issues cre- ated by these busy highways to promote a center with a strong sense of place and activity, walkable neighbor- hoods and shopping districts, and interconnected parks and schools. 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Improving Your District One Facade at a Time The CRA Facade Grant Program is an initiative aimed at revitalizing the district and attracting new businesses to the community. The program is designed to help property owners improve the exterior appearance of their buildings through a grant of up to $100,000. This is a great op- portunity for small-business owners and property owners to make much-needed improvements to their buildings without breaking the bank. Facade treatments are more than just a facelift on corridor properties. Facade treat- ments enhance the lives of residents, promote integrity in ever-changing communities and potentially increase the trust fund balance. This presentation includes a panel of program managers from a few CRAs discussing their facade programs and how any CRA can start or revamp their facade improvement program. 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Networking Luncheon in the Exhibit Hall 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. Keynote Presentation: Saying ‘Yes’ to Affordable Cities: Supply, Stability, Subsidy Keynote Speaker: Shane Phillips, speaker and author Shane Phillips manages the Randall Lewis Housing Initiative for the UCLA Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies.

Here's 5 things to know about the reinvented area By Kendall Little and Diana Biederman, Naples Daily News, 2024-05-20 Bayshore Drive's personality has changed. Back when it was known as Kelly Road, the area used to be known locally for strippers and drugs. But now Bayshore locals want people to know the neighborhood has changed. It's now a cool, funky spot full of unique and artsy locals trying to put their home on the map. So what do you need to know about the new and improved Bayshore? We've got you covered. Where is Bayshore Drive in Naples, Florida? Bayshore maintains the 'Old Florida' feel that Naples is losing Chair of the Bayshore Gateway Triangle's Community Redevelopment Agency Karen Beatty has lived on Bayshore Drive since 1988. She's watched the neighborhood transform from trashy to treasured. "I love the old Florida feel," Beatty said. "Unfortunately, a lot of that’s disappearing in Naples." Siobhan Cleveland, owner of restaurant The Real Macaw, says she hears nothing but praise about the area from her patrons. Her customers at The Real Macaw tell her they love Bayshore because there aren’t a lot of places “emblematic of old Florida charm anymore. Once you lose that, some of the history gets forgotten, but that doesn't mean something better and more suited to the neighborhood as it is now won’t be wonderful. I think it’s a bittersweet postmark of the passage of time and change.” There's a ton of locally-owned eclectic dining options Bayshore Drive is home to several local restaurants and bars that match the vibe of the area: bohemian and unique. Attachment 9-Item 11c Some local favorites include: •The Real Macaw: Caribbean-inspired bar and eatery with tropical decor and outdoor seating with live music •3275 Bayshore Drive, Naples •The MED: Modern Mediterranean artisan eatery in the heart of the Bayshore Arts District •3929 Bayshore Drive, Naples •Rebecca's: Restaurant and bar offering lunch and dinner along with signature cocktails •2955 Bayshore Drive, Naples There's always something to do on Bayshore "You can walk out your door and surf the street for live music, art, great food, and a variety of things to do," Beatty said. "It's one of the most eclectic, bohemian areas of Naples, if not the most unique.” From restaurants to shopping experiences to live music, there's always something happening on Bayshore Drive. If you're looking for a unique lunch option, head to Celebration Park. The area hosts several food trucks that offer all types of food from vegan options to lobster rolls to burgers. The food trucks come and go, bringing new options to Bayshore every time a new one arrives. If you want to get in touch with Mother Nature, check out the Naples Botanical Garden. The garden boasts beautiful foliage displays and fun events for locals of all-ages to enjoy. The women of Bayshore are paving the way Several of the local Bayshore businesses are owned by women. Though starting a business is a risk, these women weren't afraid. Now it's paying off in a big way as their businesses grow. Here's 14 Bayshore businesses owned by women in the area: •Things I Like by Catherine: One-of-a-kind art pieces •Naples Outfitters: Adventure gear to rent or buy from •A. Jaron Fine Jewelry: Custom-made jewelry •Hair4You: Salon services •Sunnyland Swim: Eco-friendly swimwear and activewear •Bean to Cup: Coffee shop •Celebration Park: Food truck park and bar •Fernweh Ice Cream: Ice cream shop •I Love Curry: Restaurant serving homemade Indian food •The MED: Mediterranean artisan eatery •The Real Macaw: Caribbean restaurant •Rebecca's Wine Bar: Wine bar and eatery •Electric Motion Golf Carts: Shop to rent or buy golf carts •Humble Hut: Yoga, wellness, and casual French food Bayshore is still growing and looking for ways to improve Though it's come a long way, Bayshore is still growing. That's why the Bayshore Gateway Triangle's CRA exists: To fund, plan, and execute redevelopment plans to make the area better. The CRA is constantly working on the Bayshore Beautification Project, where the entire goal is to make the area more attractive. If you have an idea to improve Bayshore, you can reach out to the CRA by calling (239) 252-8844 or visiting the office at 3299 Tamiami Trail East Bldg. F Suite 103.

At least that can be inferred, given that Florida comes in as the third-highest state for of-fice demand, according to a 2024 Highland Cabine-try study.Another recent study cites the state as a boom-ing office rental market, with 55% of its metropol-itan areas increasing of-fice rent prices. The Cape Coral-Fort Myers metro area is seeing the highest rent price in-crease for offices, up 8.3% in price per square foot.The neighboring Naples market operates differently, however, said Jeffrey H. Gage, se-nior vice president at CBRE.“What’s interesting about Naples, in par-ticular, is that it’s not a core market; it’s a tertiary market. The corporations and name brands that have offices here are designed to be back office or adjunct to some of the oth-How office demand, industrial investments and housing shortages intersectBy Melanie PaganJeffrey H. Gage er major metropolitan areas. They’re here to service a customer base,” Gage said. “Some of the headquarters are here for reasons that may not necessarily be support-ing their business. Sometimes CEOs relo-cate for their own convenience and bring the company with them.” While office rent prices are indeed increas-ing because “all boats rise with the tide,” Gage said, and economic conditions and inflation play a part, it’s the trend of short-term leases that can lead to higher rates.“Typically, transactions are shorter by comparison. Connecticut, New York and New Jersey would do 5- and 10-year deals, but people [here] want short-term,” Gage said. “What that leads to is a stay-and-pay philosophy.”Once a lease is up and tenants choose to stay after considering such factors as moving costs, landlords can capitalize on a need for convenience.“Landlords sit back and say, ‘I know you’re not moving, so I’m going to start jacking the rents up,’ and they do, and tenants cave,” Gage said.This dynamic, rather than supply and de-mand, drives office rent increases in the local market, unlike in established markets where tenants have more leverage during renewals. Industrial is a different story. The market “is on fire,” Gage said, as de-velopments including distribution company Uline’s nearly 1 million square feet of ware-house space near the new Great Wolf Lodge take shape, endorsing the area.“We’ve got new investors that are coming into the market. They’re paying premium price to buy existing buildings, they’re going under construction on speculation for new buildings, and that’s something that South-west Florida hasn’t really seen since 2008-09,” he said.Retail continues apace. The pandemic and internet shopping have changed buying pat-terns, Gage noted, but tenants will still pay top dollar for a spot on bustling Fifth Ave-nue. Farther out, say on U.S. 41, businesses can find “plenty of options” for a fraction of the price, he added.Multi-family housing rents are skyrocket-ing due to high demand and limited afford-able options for service-industry workers.“We need affordable housing in Southwest Florida, and the trend is going in exactly the opposite direction,” Gage said. “There are a lot of apartments under construction in Na-ples. What’s fueling that fire is the demand for housing and the fact that rents are in- creasing at a pace that’s higher than national averages, attracting new capital to come into our market and try to take advantage of that rent growth.”Tourism, health care and construction are the major employment sectors in Naples, according to citytowninfo.com. However, as large companies that have higher median wages than Naples’ median average of $22 per hour or $46,573 per year (according to ZipRecruiter) come to the area, and develop-ers respond to that, it creates an imbalance of what becomes affordable to area workers.Affordable housing is a critical issue that municipalities are trying to address, espe-cially as more people move to the Sunshine State. CBRE reports that more than 440,000 people moved to Florida between 2021 and 2022, making Florida the No. 1. fastest-grow-ing state in the nation, with a 1.9% increase in population.Gage said we will continue to see different levels of growth in commercial real estate development as the number of inhabitants increases.“I do not expect to see industrial growing at the rates it has,” he said, adding that he suspects an eventual leveling out of rents in multifamily. “As we increase the population and get more product, we’re going to see our market trend pretty closely to what the na- tional markets do.” In a situation that might be called deja-view, a four-story botanical mural on a Bayshore Triangle lux- ury apartment complex became the target of county building officials who want it changed. The problem was not that the mural was painted. The problem was that it had changed from the architect’s drawings approved by Collier County building officials. The current mural is by an in- ternationally known Austin, Tex- as, muralist who goes by the single name of DAAS, and is done in his favored style: semi-abstract with abundant color, this one suggest- ing huge blooms in shades of coral, blue, soft green and gold. However, the original design, as shown in its permit application, features gray and steel blue pinwheel geometrics. The art is unavoidable. It covers all of the east side and a quarter of the north side of a five-story park- ing garage attached to Ascent at Metropolitan, a luxury apartment building abutting Davis Boulevard at its intersection with U.S. 41. GFI Capital Partners is identified as the owner of the structure Monday, a representative of the Ascent ownership group would only say the developers “are coop- erating with county representa- tives and County Commissioner Dan Kowal, and with his help, we believe that we have worked out a resolution.” The representative would not say more. However, most guesses are that the developers will change the mural to the original design. It would be a different end to the same dilemma faced six years ago by two smaller buildings in the same area, which is part of the Bayshore Community Redevelop- ment Act (CRA). Between 2017 and 2018, two business owners added murals to their buildings that Col- lier County code enforcement di- rected them to remove or change. Both had gone beyond their initial designs, they were told. The standoff ended in 2018 when county commissioners offered the final say on the two murals to the CRA advisory board, which ap- proved them. But it added a stipula- tion: It would put a hold on any mu- rals until the county set some sort of standards for public art and some administration for those standards. That has not happened. A start, and then a squabble At one point, the United Arts Council of Collier County (now United Arts Collier) was to assume that role. But interpersonal friction between then-commissioners and the council’s leadership quashed that almost as soon as the com- missioners approved the idea. It has not found a firm footing in any agency since. So theoretically, adding a mural to any building has been on hold until some art plan is approved for the Bayshore CRA District. Wheth- er the county planners could ap- prove any mural at all could be in question. County building officials did not respond for an interview request or answer a list of writ- ten questions before this story’s deadline. Kowal, whose district includes the Bayshore Gateway Triangle, was to meet with county attorneys on the topic, which was scheduled, as of Monday noon, to come up at the board of commissioners’ meet- ing Sept. 10. He apparently also met with the Ascent owners. Kowal published in his Aug. 30 newsletter a photo of both the cur- rent facade and the facade county building officials said was approved, asking for district input. He said he found, as of Friday, Sept. 6, emails running at 75% to remove the mural and 25% who wanted it to stay. The reasoning had a strong thread of living by the regulations. “I saw a lot of feeling that ‘rules are rules,’” Kowal said. There was also some feeling that the colors were a bit too bright for its sur- rounding milieu. Still, those colors were the same reason others sup- ported keeping the mural. Future of art still fuzzy “I’ve heard all kinds of comments. I heard someone call it ‘the Kleenex box,’” said Diane Sullivan, a Realtor whose own Bayshore Drive build- ing, strewn with paintings of hi- biscus, ran afoul of county officials back in 2018. “I like it. I think it’s refreshing.” Amanda Jaron, a fellow business owner who also successfully bat- tled to keep her mermaid mural on Bayshore Drive, has started a peti- tion to keep the mural and has en- couraged residents to email Collier County commissioners. Sullivan sympathizes with the building’s owners, recalling her own experience: “I was told to ‘just submit some kind of drawing.’ There didn’t seem to be a concern about whether it was exact. And, as everyone knows, art grows and changes.” Her own building is due for a re- painting in the next year, and Sulli- van said she doesn’t know whether she can reinstate her mural. She would like to see the county set up standards that would eliminate the confusion. “I realize there’s a fine line,” she said of art opinions. But she felt some process should have been set up by now. “What does bother me is that here we are six years later, and nothing has changed,” Sullivan said of the county edict. “We’re in the same situation.” ‘NOTHING HAS CHANGED’: BAYSHORE BUILDING ART VERSUS COUNTY RULES The mural on the wall of the parking garage for Ascent, a luxury apartment building under construction at Davis Boulevard and U.S. 41 East. Photo by Liz Gorman By Harriet Howard Heithaus harriet.heithaus@naplespress.com New Collier County CRA director pushes forward with development • BY AISLING.SWIFT • JULY 25, 2024 • PHOTO CREDIT:COLLIER COUNTY GOVERNMENT Collier County’s new Community Redevelopment Agency director, the third in the last year, has promised he isn’t going anywhere and wants to overcome challenges to continue the redevelopment momentum. John Dunnuck made his remarks before a joint CRA meeting with the Board of County Commissioners on July 23, where he detailed the progress and plans of the Immokalee CRA, the Bayshore Gateway CRA, the Immokalee and Bayshore Gateway Beautification Municipal Service Taxing Units and the Haldeman Creek MSTU. “We’ve had three directors in the last year, and that has caused some stop -and-start momentum,” Dunnuck said, adding that it affected several Bayshore Gateway Triangle initiatives that lost their impetus over the years. He listed beautification, Shadowlawn Drive improvements, the former Del’s 24 -Hour Store and warehouse properties on Thomasson Drive, which the county purchased for $2.11 million in 2020, and 17 acres the county bought for about $4.6 million to build a cultural center and boardwalk to Sugden Regional Park. After two months in the job, Dunnuck, who worked for the county from 1995 to 2004, said other challenges are ensuring effective communication with county departments, ideas that end in “paralysis through analysis” and delays and distractions prompted by other opportunities. But he branded the county’s new priority -based budget decision- making an opportunity. The Bayshore Beautification MSTU was created in 1997, the Bayshore Triangle and Immokalee CRAs followed in March 2000, the Immokalee Lighting & Beautification MSTU in 2002 and the Haldeman Creek MSTU in 2006. MSTUs are funded by ad valorem taxes and are based on a property’s assessed value, meaning property owners invest in improvements. The baseline for funding was established in 2000, with Immokalee’s 24.38 acres funded at $148,645,590, and the 1,800-acre Bayshore Gateway Triangle at $288,081,106. Bayshore’s CRA sunsets in 2030, while Immokalee’s is set to end in 2052. “It means we have a limited time to get a lot of things done,” Dunnuck said. Among focuses for both CRAs are community engagement, aesthetic enhancements, murals and art installations, safety and crime, cultural preservation, transportation and infrastructure, economic growth, affordable housing, workforce training, health and wellness. “When the (Bayshore-Gateway) CRA was created, a lot of the blight had to do with homelessness, prostitution, drug use in the community and trying to get out in front of that,” Dunnuck said, adding that homelessness and encampments still occur. “They pop up, we address them, they move. We address them, they pop up, and it’s a kind of a cycle.” But as the community gets revitalized, he said that will lessen. In May, the CRA, Sheriff’s Office and Code Enforcement removed 3 tons of trash there, adding to a prior 3-ton cleanup. The community gathered for a charette to transform Del’s Corner and opted for a mixed-use development with workforce housing over retail space surrounding outdoor areas that include a movie lawn and courtyard seating and a public parking garage. Last year brought new development to the area, when 1,151 residential permits were issued with a declared value of $89 million. Commercial building permits also increased, with 566 issued worth more than $77 million. The catalyst Gateway Triangle project, underway now, is Metropolitan Naples’ $400 million high-rise development featuring shopping, dining and luxury condos on the southeast corner of Davis Boulevard and Tamiami Trail East. It’s being built on land the county sold to the developer in 2020 for $6.3 million, roughly what the county paid in 2009. The CRA also purchased 15 “deplorable mobile home sites” that were transformed by a developer into quaint single -family homes. The CRA received $5.87 million in grants since 2012. In comparison, the Immokalee CRA has received $10.53 million since 2010. Last year, 231 commercial permits with a $31.2 million value were issued, in addition to 667 residential permits worth $35.4 million. The community, which is 69% agricultural, has grown from mostly housing migrant farmworkers, with transformations on Main Street, a growing airport, a pending National Guard Readiness Center, new businesses, affordable housing and rentals and more projects pending. Immokalee CRA Assistant Director Christie Betancourt told commissioners the master plan was updated in 2019 and in 2022, they began redoing the land -development code, holding one-on-one stakeholder meetings and public workshops. This year, Immokalee’s vision statement was changed “to be a thriving rural community to live, work and play.” Community engagement strengthens the community so the CRA tries to participate in as many events as it can daily, Betancourt said, adding, “We need a lot of TLC out in Immokalee.” “… We have a hand in the development coming in, either a letter of support or finding land for them,” she said. “If we don’t award a grant or give them some kind of incentive, our time is crucial to making sure these developments move forward and the right development is where it’s being proposed.” Copyright 2024 Gulfshore Life Media, LLC All rights reserved.
