Item # 17.A
ID# 2025-2301
Executive Summary
*** This advertised item was continued from the August 12, 2025, BCC Meeting. ***
Recommendation to adopt an amendment to the Innovation Zone Ordinance to remove any cap on the trust fund, allow
the Board to transfer funds held by Innovation Trust Funds back to the contributing funds, upon a finding that the amount
held in the fund is greater than the anticipated need of the Innovation Zone, and adopt a Resolution extending the Ave
Maria Innovation Zone for another 10 years to September 30, 2035.
OBJECTIVE: To allow flexibility in County budgeting while maintaining funding for targeted economic development
projects.
CONSIDERATIONS: On May 11, 2010, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) adopted Ordinance No. 2010-20
to create a dedicated source of revenue to fund economic development programs and to advance economic development
initiatives in zones of geographic concentration within the unincorporated areas of the County, called Innovation Zones,
to be designated by the Board from time to time through the resolutions and ordinances for each separate Innovation
Zone.
By Resolution 2015-133, the Board created the Ave Maria Innovation Zone on June 23, 2015, for an initial 5 years, and
extended the Zone on September 14, 2021 (Agenda Item 16.F.7) by Agreement with Ave Maria Development LLLP. To
date, two (2) projects, namely Arthrex Manufacturing Inc. and Dialum Inc., are located in the Ave Maria Innovation
Zone. This Zone expires on September 30, 2025.
Ordinance 2018-39, dated July 10, 2018, created the Interchange Activity Center No. 9 Innovation Zone, which imposed
a cap of $1 million on the balance the Trust Fund could hold. Three (3) projects, namely, Azimuth Technology, Great
Wolf Lodge, and Uline Inc., are located within this Zone.
Ordinance 2018-56, dated November 13, 2018, created the Golden Gate Economic Development Zone, which imposed a
cap of $1 million on the balance the Trust Fund could hold. This cap was increased to $2 million by Ordinance 2020-04,
adopted January 15, 2020. One (1) project, namely, Centro Golden Gate, is located within this Zone.
Upon adoption, this item will:
1. Eliminate the caps on all Innovation and Economic Development Zone Trust Funds; and
2. Allow for the transfer of funds held by Innovation Trust Funds back to the contributing funds, upon a
finding that the amount held in the fund is greater than the anticipated need of the Innovation Zone; and
3. Extend the Ave Maria Trust Fund for another ten (10) years to September 30, 2035, subject to another
review for extension at that time. Ave Maria Development LLP, the Developer of the Ave Maria SRA, has
concurred with this extension request.
This action will encourage diverse economic opportunities by fostering a business-friendly environment.
On June 10, 2025, the Board approved a recommendation to advertise the Ordinance amending the Innovation Zone as
captioned (Item 16.K.7), to which no comments were received, and the item is now presented for adoption.
A companion Resolution extending the Ave Maria Innovation Zone by 10 years to June 23, 2035, is also attached for the
Board’s consideration.
This action will encourage diverse economic opportunities by fostering a business-friendly environment.
FISCAL IMPACT: The advertising and recording of this Ordinance may incur a fee. Sufficient funds are available in
the Housing Policy and Economic Development budget (001-138760) for recording expenses.
