EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

April 30, 2002
RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
HOLD ANNUAL OFFICER ELECTIONS AND ELECT A NEW CHAIRMAN AND
VICE CHAIRMAN.
OBJECTIVE: To have the Community Redevelopment Agency hold its annual elections to
select a new chairman and vice chairman.
CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with Section 163.357(1), Florida Statutes, the Board of
County Commissioners declared itself to be the CRA, a separate legal entity, in March 2000.
Terms are simultaneous with terms of the Board of County Commissioners.
Officers are elected by the CRA membership at the "Annual Meeting of the Agency." When
originally created, Commissioner Mac'Kie was elected as Chairman. On March 27, 2001,
Commissioner Fiala was elected as the Vice Chairman. With the resignation of Commissioner
Mac'kie, Commissioner Fiala became the interim Chairman.
Officer vacancies are filled by the election of new officers. Since this is the first meeting of the
CRA, in which the CRA has several items to consider and discuss, it is recommended that this be
considered the "annual meeting" and a new chairman and vice chairman be elected.
NOTE: Since the CRA is a "separate legal entity" commissioners do not represent commission
districts for CRA purposes, rather they represent both redevelopment component areas:
Bayshore/Gateway Triangle and Immokalee.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT:
None.
PLANNING SERVICES RECOMMENDATION:
That the Community Redevelopment Agency hold its annual elections to select a new chairman
and vice chairman.

April 30, 2002
The purpose of this memo is to introduce the chairmen of the Local Redevelopment Advisory Boards and
to offer a brief review of the last year of Advisory Board activities.
Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board
The Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board appointed Fred N. Thomas, dr. as the Chairman
during the September 20, 2001 meeting of the board.
The 15 member Advisory Board has met seven (7) times since it was appointed by the CRA in March
2001. There has been one Zoning Overlay Subcommittee meeting. The membership is comprised of the
members of the Enterprise Zone Development Agency. Meetings are held at 9:00 a.m. 'on the fourth
Thursday of each month at the Habitat for Humanity office at 640 N. Ninth Street, Immokalee. Meetings
are advertised by the County Public Information office and agendas are posted on the CRA website.
The focus of meetings has so far been on prioritizing the objectives identified in the adopted
redevelopment plan, focusing on the top three objectives: 1) stormwater master planning and
improvements, 2) affordable housing/commercial mixed use provisions, and 3) loop road and widening of
Lake Trafford Road. Two of the executive summaries to be presented during the April 30th CRA meeting
make recommendations concerning implementation of these objectives, including 5A (an annual
expenditure of $15,000 from Fund 186 to contribute to the salary of an Urban Design Planner), and 6B (a
one-time expenditure of $10,000 as seed money towards drainage improvements on 5th Street South).
Bayshore/Gatewa¥ Local Redevelopment Advisory Board
The Bayshore/Gateway Local Redevelopment Advisory Board
during the June 14, 2001 meeting of the board.
appointed Bill Neal as the Chairman
The 7 member Advisory Board has met ten (10) times since it was appointed by the CRA in May and
June 2001. There were also three (3) meetings of the Incentives Subcommittee. Meetings are held at 6:00
p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month in Conference Room E of the Community Development &
Environmental Services building at 2800 N. Horseshoe Drive, Naples. Meetings are advertised by the
County Public Information office and agendas are posted on the CRA website.
The focus of meetings has ranged from creating grant programs as incentives for redevelopment to
discussion concerning how to proceed with the Mini-Triangle catalyst project. Items 7A through 7H deal
specifically with Bayshore/Gateway issues and recommendations by the Advisory Board.
The adopted minutes of each advisory board are available for review in the Planning Department
and on the CRA website: http://www.co.collier.fl.us/planning/cra/crahomepage.htm.
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CRA AGENDA ITEM
5A
April 30, 2002
RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CRA)
REVIEW THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE IMMOKALEE LOCAL
REDEVELOPMENT ADVISORY BOARD AND THE BAYSHORE/GATEWAY
TRIANGLE LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT ADVISORY BOARD TO ALLOCATE $15,000
OF EACH FUND 186 AND FUND 187, A TOTAL OF $30,000, TOWARDS THE CREATION
OF A NEW POSITION FOR FY 02/03 NECESSARY FOR FACILITATING THE
REDEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES PROGRAM.
OBJECTIVE: To receive approval of the CRA for allocating $15,000 of each Fund 186 (hnmokalee
Redevelopment) and Fund 187 (Bayshore/Gateway) towards the hiring of a professional urban design
planner in FY 02/03. In part, the role of the individual will be to manage and coordinate the continuing
and growing demand for in-house professional architectural/engineering/design assistance for
development projects in the redevelopment districts. This item is contingent upon final approval by the
Board of County Commissioners of FY 02/03 Budget. If approved, the necessary budget amendments and
transfers will be made to transfer fitnds into Comprehensive Planning Fund 111 for FY 02/03.
CONSIDERATIONS: In support of this objective, each Advisory Board considered the following:
Immokalee Redevelopment Advisory Board
To implement the adopted Redevelopment Plan, the first task of the Immokalee Local Redevelopment
Advisory Board was to prioritize the many objectives identified in the plan. One of the top three priorities
noted by the Advisory Board is to provide incentives for commercial mixed-use development and
qfJbrdable housing. Many of the discussions concerning such incentives have focused on the struggle
many individuals have had with the development review and permitting process. The struggles range
from difficulty understanding the requirements, to not being able to afford quality engineers and
architects, to having trouble finding time to attend meetings in Naples for project review and permitting.
As a result, redevelopment is either not occurring or is taking such a long time that some applicants are
struggling financially and may never get to a final project. Furthermore, some are going to other
communities where they can proceed with their projects more expeditiously. This is particularly
detrimental in an area such as a redevelopment area ~vhere future tax increment depends partially on
private capital investment.
Therefore, the Immokalee Advisory Board has discussed options including: 1) buying or creating pre-
approved plans for residential and commercial buildings, 2) hiring of architectural/engineering firms to
represent applicants, 3) hiring of staff to serve as liaison to applicants, and 4) providing grants to
applicants to help offset the costs of hiring architectural/engineering firms. During the March 28th
Advisory Board meeting, the members voted to recommend Option #3 and to contribute $15,000 of Fund
186 tou~arcls the salary q fan Urban Design Planner.
Bayshore/Gatewav Triangle Redevelopment Advisory Board
To implement the adopted Redevelopment Plan, the Bayshore/Gateway Local Redevelopment Advisory
Board realized that incentives were necessary to encourage redevelopment in the area. To research
possible redevelopment incentives, the Advisory Board established an Incentives Subcommittee. The site
improvements grants, impact fee assistance grants and fast track permitting were the subject of previous
executive summaries. During the April 3''d Advisory Board meeting, the members voted to match the
$15,000 recommended by the Immokalee Advisory Board, .fimds to come from Fund 187 towards the
salary of an Urban Design Planner.
-1-
Conclusion and Recommendation from each Advisor,/Board
Therefore, both Advisory Boards have recommended that $15,000 of each Fund 186 (Immokalee) and 187
(Bayshore/Gateway) to the salary of a full time Urban Design Planner. The remainder of the salary will be
provided by Fund 11 l(Comprehensive Planning)-- if approved as an expanded services request during the
FY 02/03 budget process. This staff person will be assigned one third of the time to Immokalee and one
third of the time to Bayshore/Gateway. The other third of the time, the individual would be involved in
projects related to the growing demand for community plans throughout other parts of the county, e.g.
Naples Park, East Naples/Corridor 41, etc. An expanded services request has been submitted by the
Comprehensive Planning Section to create this position during.
This individual will coordinate with current planning through the SDP/SIP, building review and
permitting process, as appropriate. The staff person will serve as liaison between applicants and CDES
through entire submittal, review, permitting and inspection process; ensure accurate use and amendment
of redevelopment related zoning overlays; monitor development projects and report status to advisory
boards; process applications for redevelopment incentive programs (such as site improvement grants and
impact fee assistance grants for Bayshore/Gateway, and architectural assistance grants for Immokalee);
and provide professional architectural/design consultation and draft renderings for those needing
assistance in redevelopment districts and community planning areas, as well as sets of pre-approved plans,
as appropriate.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CRA redevelopment efforts are partially funded through Tax Increment Financing (TIF). Hence, the
incremental difference in tax revenues between the original frozen assessment value (1999), and the new
higher assessed value in the Redevelopment Area is used to finance redevelopment efforts in
redevelopment area itself. Each Advisory Board recommends $15,000, a total of $30,000 of the annual
accrued tax increment revenue contribute to the annual salary of an Urban Design Planner. If approved
during FY 02/03 budget cycle, funds will be transferred from each fund 186 and 187 into Comprehensive
Planning Cost Center Fund ! 11-138317 to fund the position. A decision will be made annually during the
annual budget process to determine if the position should continue to be partially funded by the CRA.
CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED REDEVELOPMENT PLAN:
The above-mentioned incentive programs generally support the objectives of the redevelopment plan.
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 that may consider alternative land use plans,
modifications to development standards, and incentives to encourage redevelopment.
ADVISORY BOARD AND PLANNING SERVICES DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an annual allocation of $15,000 of Fund 186 (Immokalee Redevelopment) and $15,000 of Fund
187 (Bayshore/Gateway Redevelopment) towards the hiring of a professional urban design planner in
FY 02/03 and authorize the necessary budget amendments and transfers when appropriate.

RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY APPROVE
THE STAFF GENERATED BAYSHORE/GATEWAY TRIANGLE AND IMMOKALEE
MARKETING BROCHURES.
OBJECTIVE: To get approval from the CRA for the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle and
Immokalee marketing brochures and to move forward with further promoting the redevelopment
areas.
CONSIDERATIONS: On March 14, 2000 the Board of County Commissioners adopted
Resolutions 2000-82 and 2000-83 establishing the Collier County Community Redevelopment
Agency and identifying two areas within unincorporated Collier County (Bayshore/Gateway
Triangle and Immokalee) as areas in need of redevelopment. On May 23, 2000 and June 13,
2000, respectively, the CRA and the Board of County Commissioners adopted the
Redevelopment Plan for both areas, which identified projects to implement the redevelopment.
Marketing of the areas resources and potential are shown as an important tool to use in
redevelopment in the Redevelopment Plan.
On January 4, 2002, the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Local Redevelopment Advisory Board
reviewed the marketing brochure and unanimously agreed to recommend that the CRA approve
it as a marketing tool for the area. Likewise, on January 24, 2002, the Immokalee Local
Redevelopment Advisory Board unanimously agreed to recommend that the CRA approve the
marketing brochure for that redevelopment area.
The target audience for the brochure will be those in the redevelopment area as well as the
banking community, investors, developers, civic associations, homeowners associations, and
all other interested parties. All individuals will be able to get a copy of the brochures at the
Community Development and Environmental Services Building, via the CRA Website, via Mail,
or through their local Community Redevelopment Advisory Board member.
As new programs are developed, changes will be made in each brochure to explain the
programs and how those in the redevelopment area can learn more. Please see the attached
marketing brochures for the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle and the Immokalee Redevelopment
Areas.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Minimal, other than mailing and in-house reproduction costs.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT:
None
ADVISORY BOARD AND PLANNING SERVICES RECOMMENDATION:
Planning Services, Bayshore/Gateway Triangle and the Immokalee Local Redevelopment
Advisory Boards have unanimously agreed to recommend that the CRA approve the staff

Immokalee Florida: a Proud
Heritage and Bright Future
The town of Immokalee is the largest fresh-
water inland community in Collier County
Florida. Collier County is the second fastest
growing metropolitan County in the Nation.
The diverse and welcoming heritage of Im-
mokalee is well reflected in the town's name:
"lmmokalee" means "my home".
Active tourist sector anchored by the
Seminole Indian Casino and excur-
sions into Everglades National Park
and Big Cypress National Preserve.
A thriving agricultural sector and
While Immokalee remains
a welcoming place to call
home, it is becoming an
increasingly desirable
place to conduct business.
Currently, the service and
agricultural sectors domi-
nate the local economy.
However, significant pre-
gress has been made in
tourism, retail and con-
struction sectors.
These industry concentra-
tions are reflected in the
town's peaceful surroundings. However, at
the same time, the town's transportation in-
frastructure and central location to major
South Florida metro markets leave area
businesses remarkably well connected.
An abundance of several distinctive commu-
nity landmarks and features make the Immo-
kalee community truly unique.
COMMUNITY FEATURES
Immokalee is a designated Florida
Main Street Community with a small-
town central business district oriented
around a Main Street.
· Strategic central location to Florida's
coastal urban areas, ports and airports.
Recreational opportunities on the larg-
est freshwater lake in Southwest Florida
(Lake Trafford).
home to the University of Florida's
Southwest Florida Research and
Education Center.
Minutes away from the Gulf Coast.
THE IMMOKALEE CRA
Redevelopment efforts within Immokalee
are coordinated through the Community
Redeve/opment Agency (CRA) estab-
lished by the Collier Board of County
Commissioners. In 2000, the CRA
adopted a redevelopment plan. The CRA
has appointed an advisory board com-
prised of business owners and residents
to serve as community liaisons and to
make recommendations to the CRA on
how to best implement the redevelopment
plan. In complement to the CRA, several
federal, state and local programs have
been established in Immokalee.

been adopted containing education, economic development,
housing, and community image goals, with funding available to
leverage these projects.
Through the Business Retention and Expansion Visitation sur-
vey, it was found that the community appreciates local firms and
it is a local priority to help foster, retain and expand these busi-
nesses.
A Public/Private Partnership for Economic Prosperity has been
formed between the Economic Development Council of Collier

vide greater flexibility in meeting business and resident redevelop-
ment goals.
C O M M U N I T Y R E D E V E L O P M E N T A G E N C Y
The variety of programs and incentives available in Immokalee underscores the community's commitment to redevel.

COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CRA AGENDA ITEM
6A
April 30, 2002
RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CRA)
REVIEW THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE IMMOKALEE LOCAL
REDEVELOPMENT ADVISORY BOARD TO ALLOCATE $10,000 OF FUND 186 AS SEED
MONEY TOWARDS THE SURVEYING, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF DRAINAGE
IMPROVEMENTS ALONG 5TM STREET SOUTH BETWEEN WEST DELAWARE
AVENUE AND EUSTIS AVENUE IN THE IMMOKALEE REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
OBJECTIVE: To receive approval of the CRA for a one time allocation of $10,000 from Fund 186
(Immokalee Redevelopment) as seed money towards the surveying, design and construction of
drainage improvements along 5th Street South between West Delaware Avenue and Eustis Avenue in
the Immokalee Redevelopment District.
CONSIDERATIONS: On March 28, 2002, the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board
was apprised of a significant drainage problem in Immokalee, which contributes to the ongoing trash
problem and has the potential to be a safety hazard.
Since stormwater improvements were identified as a
need in the adopted Community Redevelopment Plan
and have since been made a number one priority by
the Advisory Board, the members decided to
recommend that the Community Redevelopment
Agency allocate $10,000 from the Redevelopment
Trust Fund (Fund 187) as seed money to get this
critical project started. During the meeting,
Stormwater Management staff indicated that such
funds would most likely cover the surveying necessary prior to design and construction. As funds
from the Trust Fund are tax increment funds, it is crucial that projects supported by the funds be
completed quickly so that the results indirectly feed back into the fund through future tax increment.
Therefore, the members agreed to recommend the seed money as long as the project can be completed
within the next two years.
The attached letter was forwarded to John Boldt of the Stormwater Management Department to alert
staff that the CRA will be considering allocating these funds in hopes that this funding will encourage
the county to incorporate the other necessary funds in the FY 02/03 budget.
Also, the Advisory Board has suggested that the Immokalee Weed and Seed Coalition consider
support of the project to ensure that a sidewalk is included as part of the improvement. A resolution
to this effect was approved by the Weed & Seed Coalition on April 4th and is attached. It is hoped
that the design for the infrastructures improvements will incorporate designs for a sidewalk.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CRA redevelopment efforts are partially funded through Tax Increment Financing (TIF). Hence, the
incremental difference in tax revenues between the original frozen assessment value (1999), and the
new higher assessed value in the Redevelopment Area is used to finance redevelopment efforts in
redevelopment area itself. The Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board recommends
-1-
$10,000 of the accrued tax increment revenue contribute as seed money to get this project started and
completed within the next two years.
CONSISTENCY WITI-I ADOPTED REDEVELOPMENT PLAN:
The above-mentioned infrastructure improvement will implement several objectives of the adopted
Redevelopment Plan, including those related to stormwater improvements, trash cleanup and, if a
sidewalk is incorporated into the project, provision of sidewalks.
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 Immokalee Area, that may
consider alternative land use plans, modifications to development standards, and incentives to
encourage redevelopment.
ADVISORY BOARD AND PLANNING SERVICES DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a one-time allocation of $10,000 of Fund 186 (Immokalee Redevelopment) as seed money
towards the surveying, design and construction of drainage improvements along 5th Street South
between West Delaware Avenue and Eustis Avenue in the Immokalee Redevelopment District.

Re: Fifth Street South Project - Immokalee
Dear Mr. Boldt:
The purpose of this letter is two-fold. First, as chairman of the Immokalee Local Redevelopment
Advisory Board, I would very much like to thank you and your staff, specifically Mr. Shane Cox, for his
attendance and informative assistance during our last several meetings. His enthusiasm and interest in
Immokalee is very much appreciated.
Secondly, we would like to inform you of a recommendation we will be making to the Collier County
Community Redevelopment Agency on April 30' 2002. During our March 28th meeting Mr. Cox
informed us of an important drainage project on the west side of South Fifth Street.
Since stormwater improvements were identified as a need in the adopted Community Redevelopment
Plan and have since been made a number one priority by this advisory board, the members decided to
recommend that the Community Redevelopment Agency allocate $10,000 from the Redevelopment
Trust Fund (Fund 187) as seed money to get this critical project started. Mr. Cox indicated that such
funds would most likely cover the surveying necessary prior to design and construction. As funds from
the Trust Fund are tax increment funds, it is crucial that projects supported by the funds be completed
quickly so that the results indirectly feed back into the fund through future tax increment. Therefore, the
members agreed to recommend the seed money as long as the project can be completed within the next
two years.
Also, the Advisory Board has suggested that the Immokalee Weed and Seed Coalition consider support
of the project to ensure that a sidewalk is included as part of the improvement. A resolution to this
effect was approved by the Weed & Seed Coalition on April 4th and is attached for your information.
Thank you for your time and efforts. The continued coordination of efforts between your staff and the
CRA and this advisory board is much appreciated. Please feel free to contact me if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,
Fred N. Thomas Jr., Chairman
Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board

COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CRA AGENDA ITEM
6B
April 30, 2002
RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CRA)
REVIEW AND ACCEPT THE PROPOSED IMMOKALEE REDEVELOPMENT AREA FY
02/03 BUDGET EXPENDITURE ITEMS AND AMOUNTS.
OBJECTIVE: To receive acceptance of the attached proposed budget worksheet for FY 02/03 Fund 186
Budget.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Thus far, the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board has generally discussed creating a work
program to include funding allocations for infrastructure improvements, administrative costs and
redevelopment incentives related to architectural assistance. The attached budget worksheet does not yet
include any specific allocations for these work program areas, as this discussion is ongoing. The budget
does, however, include the estimated revenue expected as tax increment for this year. Based on previous
year's increase in taxable value in the Immokalee area, the Budget Department has estimated a 10%
increase in the expected increment ($200,600), which is added to the carry over revenue ($157,900) and
the interest ($7,500) from previous years, yielding a cumulative total of approximately $366,000 - see
Total Revenues for FY 02-03 on table below:

* figures are rounded to the nearest $100.
1 - first year of increment
2 - second year of increment
3 - third year of increment - estimated, final figure to be based on July 1, 2002 Preliminary Tax Roll, budget
figures will be adjusted accordingly after this date.
The appropriate budget amendments will be processed after the Advisory Board has prepared a work
program for approval by the CRA. Also, the appropriate amendments and transfers will be processed
related to any approval of the expanded services request for a new planner position in the Comprehensive
Planning Section.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CRA redevelopment efforts are partially funded through Tax Increment Financing (TIF). Hence, the
incremental difference in tax revenues between the original frozen assessment value (1999), and the new
higher assessed value in the Redevelopment Area is used to finance redevelopment efforts in the
Redevelopment Areas. The annual increment is based on the July 1 Preliminary Tax Roll, however, for
budgeting purposes, the Budget Department has estimated a 10% increase in the expected increment
($200,600), which is added to the carry over revenue ($157,900) and the interest ($7,500) from previous
years, yielding a cumulative total of approximately $366,000.
CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED REDEVELOPMENT PLAN:
The above-mentioned work program and budget allocations generally support the objectives of the
redevelopment plan.
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, that may consider alternative land use
plans, modifications to development standards, and incentives to encourage redevelopment.
ADVISORY BOARD AND PLANNING SERVICES DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
That the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) accept the attached proposed budget worksheet for
the FY 02/03 Fund 186 Budget, to be given final approval by the Board of County Commissioners during
the regular budget hearing process. Slight modifications may be made during the final budget process.

COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CRA AGENDA ITEM
7B
April 30, 2002
RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CRA)
APPROVE BOTH THE SITE IMPROVEMENT GRANT AND IMPACT FEE ASSISTANCE
GRANT PROGRAMS RECOMMENDED BY THE BAYSHORE/GATEWAY TRIANGLE LOCAL
REDEVELOPMENT ADVISORY BOARD; APPROVE THE ATTACHED BUDGET
AMENDMENT REQUEST FOR THE TWO GRANT PROGRAMS; AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY
ATTORNEY AND STAFF TO DRAFT ANY NECESSARY AGREEMENTS AND ORDINANCE
OR RESOLUTION LANGUAGE ESTABLISHING BOTH GRANT PROGRAMS FOR
ADOPTION BY THE COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
OBJECTIVE: To receive approval of the proposed Site Improvement Grant and Impact Fee
Assistance Grant Programs recommended by the CRA Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Local
Redevelopment Advisory Board. Both grant programs apply only to properties within the
Bayshore/Gateway Redevelopment Overlay Area as identified on the County's Future Land Use Map
(FLUM).
CONSIDERATIONS: Tasked with the responsibility of creating a workable incentives program, the
CRA Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Advisory Board has identified two matchinq grant programs for the
CRA to consider. Consistent with the adopted Redevelopment Plan, the i~tent of these two grant
programs is to revitalize the area by providing incentives that will encourage the private sector to
invest in the area. Both grant programs require funding to be allocated from the tax increment funds
for the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area - Fund 187.
The proposed programs are a Site Improvement Grant and Impact Fee Assistance Grant for the
Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area. Each applicant must meet certain eligibility criteria
and points will be awarded based on evaluation criteria. All residential properties within the
Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Overlay are eligible for Site Improvement Grants.
However, only commercial projects located within the Bayshore Drive Mixed Use Zoning Overlay are
eligible for Site Improvement Grant funds (see Figure 1). Impact Fee Assistance Grant funds are
eligible for residential and comrnercial properties (owners only) throughout the Bayshore/Gateway
Triangle Redevelopment Overlay.
The grants require at least a 50% match from the applicant and will be funded by tax increment funds
from 2000. Funds collected from 2001 will not be allocated until next year. Initially, this one-year lag
in fund availability provides flexibility to the CRA to modify the program as needed and reserve capital
should the CRA pursue bonding. There will be a grant deadline and all projects will be considered at
the same time for the Site Improvement Grant prograrn. Impact Fee Assistance Grant applications
will be considered in groups according to scheduled periodic (e.g. quarterly) review and award
periods until all allocated funds are depleted.
Site Improvement Grant applications will be reviewed by the Bayshore/Gateway Advisory Board and
any applicable county departments that would normally review such a project. Impact Fee Assistance
Grant applications will be reviewed by the Bayshore/Gateway Advisory Board and the County Impact
Fee Coordinator and aily other applicable del)artments. "f'hese review bodies will then forward their
recommendation for assis'[ance to the CFIA for final approval. It is recommonded that the final
recommenct,qtior~ for ,~pproval by the CRA be done a:; c;om;ent r~genda /toms.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CRA redevelopment efforts are partially funded throtl~lh Tax hmr'emer~t Firmr~cin.¢j (TIF). Hence, the
incremental difference in tax revenues between the original frozen assessment value (1999), and the
new higher assessed value in the Redevelopment Area is used to finance redevelopment efforts in
-1-
the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area. The CRA Advisory Board recommends 30%
of the first year of accrued tax increment revenue be set aside to fund these two grant programs.
More specifically, it is recommended that 20% of the annual tax increment funds be allocated for Site
Improvement Grants, and 10% allocated to Impact Fee Assistance Grants. It is further
recommended that the Advisory Board revisit the programs each year for adjustment as needed.
Because the Advisory Board has also been considering bonding the CRA TIF to receive more funding
up front to implement the Redevelopment Plan, the Advisory Board recommends that only the first
year of tax increment funds (2000-2001) be committed to implementing these programs. The total TIF
funds from 2000-2001 are $12'1,000; 30% ($36,300) is available for these two grant programs in the
Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area (Fund 187). $24,000 will be allocated for Site
Improvement Grants and $12,000 for Impact Fee Assistance Grants for 2002, using 2000-2001 TIF
funds. The Site Improvement Grant may provide up to 50% of the cost of improvements, up to a
maximum grant amount of $4,000 (six grants). The Impact Fee Assistance Grant may provide up to
50% of the total impact fees for a project, up to a maximum grant amount of $6,000 (two grants).
The more match provided, the more points awarded.
CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED REDEVELOPMENT PLAN'
The above-mentioned incentive programs generally support the objectives of the redevelopment plan.
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, that may consider alternative land use plans, modifications to
development standards, and incentives to encourage redevelopment.
PLANNING SERVICES RECOMMENDATION:
That the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approve both the Site Improvement Grant and
Impact Fee Assistance Grant Programs for the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area,
recognizing modifications to the draft grant applications may be necessary. Authorize the County
Attorney and Planning Staff to draft any necessary agreements and Ordinance or Resolution
language outlining and establishing both grant programs for adoption at a later date by the Collier
County Board of County Commissioners.

SITE IMPROVEMENT GRANT PROGRAM
General Provisions
The Collier County CRA has created the Site Improvement Grant Program to provide financial assistance
to residential and commercial establishments that want to redevelop in the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle
redevelopment area. The program has been established to encourage rehabilitation and preservation of
significant commercial buildings in the Bayshore Drive Mixed Use Zoning Overlay by offering financial
and technical assistance for faqade improvements. In addition, single and multi-family dwellings are
eligible throughout the entire Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area. Improvements must be
exterior improvements to the structure or surrounding site or improvements to windows/showcase areas if
visible from the outside of the building. All improvements must meet the criteria listed below as well as
the current requirements of the land development code, building code and any applicable zoning overlays.
Improvements that remedy existing code enforcement problems also qualify if combined with other site
improvements.
The CRA is partially funded by Tax Increment Financing (TIF). TIF is a unique tool that CRA's can use
to leverage public funds and to promote private sector activity. The CRA has allocated approximately
$24,000 for Site Improvement Grants for year 2002, using 2000-2001 TIF funds. The CRA will provide
50% of the cost of improvements, up to a maximum grant amount of $4,000. For example, a project that
will cost $10,000 total may receive a grant for up to $4,000, however a project that will cost a total of
$7,000 will only receive a grant for up to $3,500. Funding award will be evaluated based on the
contribution made by each applicant as well as extent of improvements. Commercial and mulilt-family
projects must include a minimum of five (5) improvements and single family residential projects must
include a minimum of three (3) improvements (described below). For example, a project that consists of
only one type of improvement (new sign only) will not qualify.
All work must be approved by the CRA Advisory Board, the CRA and any applicable county departments
that would normally review such improvements. All proposed work must be approved before beginning
any work. Grant funding is not retroactive. All work must be completed within one year of approval by
CRA.
Grant applications must be submitted by MONTH, DAY, 2002 at 5:00 pm. Applicants are required to
request a meeting with staff prior to submittal of application. All meetings must be requested prior to
March 22nd to ensure availability of staff time.
Eligibility
Grant funds are eligible to commercial structures (owner or tenant with a minimum lease term of 3 years)
within the Bayshore Drive Mixed Use Zoning Overlay. Tenants must have a current occupational license
and owner authorization. Authorization form must be submitted with application. Owner occupied
residential structures are also eligible throughout the entire Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment
Overlay as identified on the County's Future Land Use Map.

IMPACT FEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
General Provisions
Thc Collier' County (iRA has created the hnpact Fee Assistance Program to provide financial assistance
to residential and commercial redevelopment prqiccts in the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle
redevelopment area. The program has been established to encourage rehabilitation of degraded
structnres and the installation of new structures that support the objectives of the adopted
redevelopment plan. hnprovemcnts to existing structures [nay be fimded through lhe Site Improvement
Grant Program (see separate application and grant deadlines).
The CRA is partially fl;nded by Tax Increment Financing (TI[:). TIF is a unique tool that CRA's can
use to leverage public funds and to promote private sector activity. For each project, the CRA [nay
provide up to 50% of the total impact fees for each prqjcct. There is a maximum amount of fl~nding
allocated each yea[' for impact fk~e assistance, so tile program is managed on a "first come, firs! served"
basis as well as an eligibility point system, hnpact fee waivers or deferrals may also be available
through the Collier County Housing and Urban hnprovement SHIP program for low and very Iow-
income first time homebuyers.
All applicants must contact the Collier County Impact Fee Coordinator tbr an estimate of expected
impact fees. CRA staff, the Impact Fee Coordinator and the Bayshore/Gateway Local Redevelopment
Advisory Board will review applications and make a recommendation for assistance to the Community
Redevelopment Agency. The CRA will issue final approval and authorize expenditure of funds. This
is not a refund program. However, funding may be authorized if the grant application is submitted and
reviewed by the Advisory Board prior to submittal of building permit. No "after the fact" applications
will be accepted. This opportunity is only for applications in process and is off, red to avoid a project
being held up while waiting fl0r CRA approwd. Applications will be reviewed as received by staff, and
periodically tbrwarded to the Advisory Board and the CRA in groups accumulated prior' to tire publicly
scheduled meetings. Applications will no longer be accepted after all award l\mds are depleted. All
work must be completed n,,ithin one year of apl)royal by CRA.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CRA AGENDA ITEM
7C
April 30, 2002
RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CRA)
SUPPORT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A FAST TRACK COUNTY PERMITTING PROCESS
FOR THE BAYSHORE/GATEWAY TRIANGLE REDEVELOPMENT AREA; DIRECT COUNTY
STAFF TO DRAFT AND DEVELOP A WORKABLE FAST TRACK PERMITTING PROGRAM
FOR PROJECTS IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA.
OBJECTIVE: To get direction from the CRA Board on development of a County Fast Track
permitting program for the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area.
CONSIDERATIONS:
An important function of the CRA is to help foster private business investment in the
Redevelopment Area. To that end, it is evident that incentive programs such as Fast Track
Permitting can be a valuable tool. However, fast track permitting is currently only available
through the Economic Development Council to certain target industries and through County
Ordinance for affordable housing projects countywide. The Advisory Board has begun
communicating with the Economic Development Council on possibly extending this program in
the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area, however, CRA staff could also qualify
fast track applicants after an acceptable process and set of criteria have been developed.
ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
It is the Advisory Board's view that benefits could be derived from extending County fast track
permitting within the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area. The Advisory Board
recommends that County staff begin to develop a workable fast track permitting program in the
Redevelopment Area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None at this time, however, under a separate CRA item, the CRA will also be asked to allocate
funds for the creation of a new position, which will allow CRA staff to facilitate the Fast Track
process in Bayshore/Gateway as well.
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, includin9 the
Bayshore/Gateway Triangle, that may consider alternative land use plans, modifications to
development standards, and incentives to encourage redevelopment.
PLANNING SERVICES RECOMMENDATION:
Planning Services recommends that the CRA Board direct staff to begin research and
development of a Fast Track permittin9 pro~lram for use in the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle
Redevelopment Area. These efforts should be (tone in cooperation with the Advisory Board,
the Economic l)evelopment Council, arid affected Cour~ty Departments. Several items need to
be researched and addressed in any such program, inch]ding: evaluation of target if~dustry
standards, development of eligibility criteria, implementation strategies, performance standards,
and stafl reso~rces.

CRA AGENDA ITEM

April 30, 2002
RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CRA) REVIEW
OPTIONS FOR THE GATEWAY "MINI-TRIANGLE" CATALYST PROJECT; CONSIDER THE
BAYSHORE/GATEWAY TRIANGLE REDEVELOPMENT ADVISORY BOARD'S
RECOMMENDATION TO NOTICE THE INTENT TO ADVERTISE AN "INVITATION TO SUBMIT
PROPOSALS" AFTER A RESEARCH PERIOD; APPROVE AN OPTION FOR THE "MINI-
TRIANGLE" CATALYST PROJECT; AND DIRECT STAFF TO PROCEED WITH A WORK
PROGRAM ADDRESSING THE SELECTED OPTION.
OBJECTIVE: To have the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board: revisit the
background on the "Mini-Triangle" catalyst project, review options for proceeding with the project,
consider the Bayshore/Gateway CRA Advisory Board's recommendations, and approve a course
of action for the subject project. The "Mini-Triangle" project is identified as a "catalyst" in the
approved Community Redevelopment Plan. "Catalyst" projects are presented as the primary
efforts to be stimulated by public action in the first phase of redevelopment as a means of
stimulating further redevelopment and improvement on surrounding properties pursuant to the
approved Community Redevelopment Plan.
BACKGROUND:
On June 13, 2000, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2000-181 adopting
the Community Redevelopment Plan for the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle and Immokalee areas of
unincorporated Collier County. Two citizen advisory boards have been established for each
Redevelopment area for purposes of advising the CRA on implementation of the Redevelopment
Plan.
The adopted Redevelopment Plan identifies four Catalyst Projects. The Redevelopment Plan
recommends that the CRA commence its redevelopment efforts with these identified Catalyst
Projects. Particular focus was given to a potential Catalyst Project in the western apex of the
Gateway Triangle, delimited by US 41 East, Davis Boulevard and Commercial Drive (See Figure
1). This site is commonly referred to as the "Mini-Triangle". A marketing study conducted in
support of the adopted Redevelopment Plan found sufficient demand to support a Hotel and
Restaurants on-site. The site was recognized as an opportunity to provide a significant entry
statement for the Redevelopment Area as a whole.
To facilitate the "Mini-Triangle", the CRA authorized the advertisement of an "Invitation to Submit
Proposals for the Redevelopment and Disposition of Real Property" for the Project site. The
notice invited proposals from private redevelopers or any persons interested in undertaking to
redevelop or rehabilitate the area. Proposals were due on November 22, 2000. One proposal
was received from FP Real Estate Investment LC.
On February 27, 2001, the CRA Board rejected the proposal submitted by FP Real Estate
Investment LC for the "Mini-Triangle". In general, the CRA Board expressed an interest in
permitting market forces and individual property owners to spearhead redevelopment in the
"Mini-Triangle". The CRA Board directed staff to meet with property owners and the interested
parties to develop a plan to readdress the "Mini-Triangle".
CONSIDERATIONS:
CRA project staff mailed a questionnaire to the 14 property owners of the "Mini-Triangle". The
questionnaire's objective was to evaluate options for flexible standards and incentives that may
help spur redevelopment in the "Mini-Triangle". Over 50% of the property owners responded
(9/14) to the questionnaire. However, in contrast, property owner participation in two scheduled
follow-up meetings to discuss survey results was poor (1-2 owners per meeting). Survey results,
property owner participation, comments made during the meetings, and inactivity suggest a
general lack of consensus may exist among "Mini-Triangle" property owners.
In consideration of the area's background and recent history, the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle
CRA Advisory Board determined to provide a recommendation to the CRA Board with respect to
the "Mini-Triangle" Catalyst project. More specifically, the CRA Advisory Board considered the
following options:
1. Continue to wait for property owner and market force driven redevelopment.
2. Create new "Invitation to Submit Proposals for the Redevelopment and Disposition of Real
Property" (RFP) for the Mini-Triangle.
3. Authorize staff to create a Request for Proposals for a Professional consultant to prepare
a zoning overlay for the Mini-Triangle and commercial corridors along US.41 and Davis
Blvd, followed by a new "Invitation to Submit Proposals for the Redevelopment and
Disposition of Real Property".
4. Put the Mini-Triangle on hold and put efforts into pursuing the other three Catalyst
Projects identified in the Redevelopment Plan.
It is important to note that the Community Redevelopment Agency will necessarily play an
active role in overseeing redevelopment of the Mini-Triangle. It is staff's opinion that the
CRA will likely need to exercise its powers pursuant to Chapter 163.375, Florida Statutes,
should an RFP be issued and redevelopment plan accepted for the Mini-Triangle.
Furthermore, other incentives may be necessary including infrastructure improvements
and providing variances from certain development standards and/or impact fees.
ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
The CRA Advisory Board's recommendation to the CRA Board is a variant of Option No. 2.
More particularly, the Advisory Board recommends the CRA issue an "Intent to Invite Proposals
for the Redevelopment and Disposition of Real Property" in the Mini-Triangle (see attached draft).
The CRA Advisory Board recommends the formal 30-day RFP follow advertisement of this Intent
after 90 days. This 90-day research period provides time for interested parties to gather
information in preparation of a defensible redevelopment plan for the area. Copies of the notice
would be distributed to the property owners and to Real Estate Developers and posted on the
CRA website. The formal Request For Proposals is limited by state statute to a 30-day period.
The recommended RFP option does not preclude "Mini-Triangle" property owners from submitting
a proposal given the process is open to all interested parties. All property owners were invited to
scheduled follow up meetings and have been notified of Advisory Board meetings, as well as the
CRA meeting today.
OPTIONS:
CRA direction is needed for the Mini-Triangle Catalyst Project.
The CRA has several options available to them, including:
1. The CRA may take limited action at this time.
a. Directing Staff to steer efforts into pursuing other identified Catalyst Projects,
and/or
b. Direct staff to continue to wait and assist property owner initiated redevelopment.
2. Issue and advertise an "Intent to Invite Proposals for the Redevelopment and
Disposition of Real Property" in the Mini-Triangle providing for a 90-day window prior to
issuance of a formal RFP. This advertised intent will be followed by an actual RFP
"Invitation to Submit" consistent with Statutory guidelines (Recommended Option by
the CRA Advisory Board).
3. Direct issuance and advertisement of an "Invitation to Submit Proposals for the
Redevelopment and Disposition of Real Property" in the Mini-Triangle - providing for the
30-day statutory period only.
4. Authorize staff to create a Request for Proposals for a Professional consultant to prepare
a zoning overlay for the Mini-Triangle Area.
5. Any other option(s) the CRA Board deem consistent with the adopted Redevelopment
Plan.
In pursuit of an option involving an RFP for unified redevelopment of the Mini-Triangle property
(Options 2 or 3), the Community Redevelopment Agency must be prepared to utilize all powers
and authorities it is granted under Florida Statutes, Chapter 163 Part III, and the adopted
redevelopment plan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Initially, the only cost will be for advertising of the Intent and the RFP and mailing costs.
redevelopment plan be accepted, substantial costs may arise.
Should a
CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED REDEVELOPMENT PLAN:
The Mini-Triangle is identified as a Phase I Catalyst Project in the Adopted Redevelopment Plan.
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, that may consider alternative land use plans, modifications to
development standards, and incentives to encourage redevelopment.
PLANNING SERVICES RECOMMENDATION:
That the Community Redevelopment Agency Board review and consider options dealing with the
Mini-Triangle Redevelopment Project. That the CRA Board review and consider the CRA
Advisory Board's recommendation (OPTION 2), and approve one or more option(s). Direct staff
to pursue the selected course of action.
Staff is of the opinion that CRA pursuit of a unified redevelopment plan for the Mini-Triangle will
require the CRA to exercise its powers "to approve the acquisition, demolition, removal or
disposal of property and the power to assume the responsibility to bear loss as provided in
Section 163.370, Florida Statutes (Section 1.5 of the Adopted Redevelopment Plan)".

Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area and to move forward with further promotions.
CONSIDERATIONS: On March 7, 2002, the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Local Redevelopment
Advisory Board unanimously agreed to recommend that the CRA agree to support local
promoter, Richard Sullivan's plans to bring a national art show to the Bayshore area possibly as
soon as next April.
Mr. Sullivan is the director of the Naples National Art Festival, which is a charity fundraiser art
festival that benefits the programs at the von Liebig Art Center in downtown Naples. He has
confidence that a high quality art festival is possible on Bayshore Drive. He has spoken to his
superiors at The Naples Art Association and they have agreed to let him pursue this project. Mr.
Sullivan indicated that entrance fees and booth rentals would cover most or all of the costs or
the festival.
In the meantime Mr. Sullivan will be meeting with his business manager to determine the impact
on their staff and to breakdown the cost of the festival. He believes they could possibly stage
an art festival in April 2003 on the west side of Bayshore on the Haldeman Creek Bridge. They
will need the county's assistance to possibly redirect traffic to two single lanes on the east side
of the bridge from Becca Avenue to Bayview Avenue. Mr. Sullivan hopes that the first year
could attract close to 200 Artists and Craftsman from Florida and other locations. Public
attendance should be expected to reach 20-30 thousand visitors for the entire event.
Mr. Sullivan plans to offer a festival similar to the other event he directs, the Naples National Art
Festival in Cambier Park. The art would cover oil painting, sculpture, photography, watercolor
painting, ceramics, jewelry and glasswork. Along with the artwork, the festival would invite
various food vendors to participate. With the reputation of the Naples Art Association behind
this project, Mr. Sullivan feels in time we could make this an annual event that will someday be
regarded as one of the finest festivals in the country.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None at this time
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT:
None
ADVISORY BOARD AND PLANNING SERVICES RECOMMENDATION:
Planning Services and the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Advisory Board have unanimously
agreed that an annual festival is a great way to promote the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle
Redevelopment area.

COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CRA AGENDA ITEM
7F
April 30, 2002
RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CRA)
PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF RELATING TO THE PURCHASE OF LANDS ON
BAYSHORE DRIVE WITHIN THE BAYSHORE/GATEWAY TRIANGLE REDEVELOPMENT
AREA.
OBJECTIVE: To prioritize recreation and stormwater opportunities in Collier County, more particularly
in the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area.
CONSIDERATIONS: See Location Map on Page 3.
The County Manager brought forth a request to the Board of County Commissioners to purchase property
(referred to as the Stel Property) adjacent to Sugden Park using Parks and Recreation impact fees in the
estimated amount of $500,000 as a "requested but not recommended" capital project during the FY02
budget process. Recognizing that this purchase would benefit the redevelopment of the Bayshore area, the
Board directed staff to approach the Bayshore/Gateway Local Redevelopment Advisory Board to
determine whether they would financially support the acquisition of this property. Upon being
approached, the Advisory Board agreed in principle to pay for fifty percent of the acquisition costs,
financed over an unspecified period of time. The Commission subsequently authorized staff to proceed
with the appraisals of the property in question.
During a subsequent meeting with a Bayshore/Gateway Advisory Board member, Botanical Gardens
representatives, and staff, it was discovered that the Advisory Board believed the property in question ~vas
actually the "Chlumsky / Lake Kelly" property~ (see map), which was formerly intended to be the site of
the Botanical Gardens, and therefore referred to as the "Prelude Gardens". This property is identified in
the adopted Redevelopment Plan as a viable access to Sugden Park from the Bayshore area, and it also
provides opportunities to improve stormwater control, which is a critical need in the redevelopment area
particularly in areas such as Moorehead Manor.
At this time, staff is recommending that the Board / CRA review its previous direction based upon the
discovery that the Advisory Board supported the purchase of a different property. The Advisory Board
and staff do recognize the benefits of acquisition of either property and understand that either acquisition
supports the adopted Redevelopment Plan. Below is a review of both properties.
Chlumsk¥/Lake Kelly property (lots 108 and 109)
This property is the site of an old fill excavation pit and contains only a few acres of uplands that would
be of any use for parking or use by Parks and Recreation. It is potentially very useful for stormwater
management; however, the cleanup and removal of the exotics may cost more than the property itself
could cost. Additionally it has been indicated to staff that western portion of the Chlumsky/Lake Kelly
property is or has been sold to another entity, leaving only a 60' easement to access the eastern end of the
property. As a result, outside of a pedestrian access to the Park, very little of the property may be used for
recreational purposes. Nevertheless the remainder of the property would provide useful stormwater access
after significant removal or' exotics.
Otherwise knoxvn as the Prelude Gardens (lots 108 and 109)
-1-
The last estimate for this property was approximately $480,000. However, now that commercial frontage
has or will be sold off, the asking price and appraisals should be significantly lower. At the same time, it
is important to appreciate that it may not be eligible for parks impact fees due to the fact that this property
would only serve as a pedestrian access. Instead, staff would recommend utilizing stormwater or other
funds as the funding source.
Stel Property (lots 105 and 106)
This property is approximately 20 acres in size and is generally a poor quality wetland that is heavily
vegetated with Melaleuca. It would provide a link to Sugden Park and has sufficient land to provide
limited parking and/or buildings for Parks and Recreation, but contrary to the other property, stormwater
management uses are limited. The area would need significant clearing and may require the creation of
man-made water retention areas for stormwater management of any constructed Parks facilities. The most
recent estimate for this property was approximate $800,000, which is even larger than originally projected
to the Board. This property could be purchased with park impact fees.
FISCAL IMPACT: CRA redevelopment efforts are partially funded through Tax Increment Financing
(TIF). Hence, the incremental difference in tax revenues between the original frozen assessment value
(1999), and the new higher assessed value in the Redevelopment Area is used to finance redevelopment
efforts in the redevelopment area itself. Because the TIF accrues on an annual basis and the funds are still
limited in Fund 187, the CRA itself would need financing to be able to contribute to this acquisition.
Annual payments of $50,000 or tess would be necessary to make it financially feasible for the CRA to
contribute to the cost.
Parks and Recreation has funds available in park impact fee reserves; however, the acquisition of the Stel
Property is not listed in the 5 year CIE of the Growth Management Plan.
Stormwater funds could be available in general fund reserves or could be budgeted in FY03 should the
Board direct staff to pursue the purchase of the Chlumsky property.
CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED REDEVELOPMENT PLAN: Acquisition of either property
would support the goals of the redevelopment plan, particularly if it can provide for both a park area and a
stormwater management area.
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, that may consider alternative land use plans,
modifications to development standards, and incentives to encourage redevelopment.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Provide direction concerning the potential purchase of lands for sale
by the Naples Botanical Gardens, Inc. on Bayshore Drive within the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle
Redevelopment Area, including determination about use of CRA tax increment funds and financing of
such fun&.

RECOMMENDATION THAT 'FILE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CRA)
REVIEW THE PROPOSED BAYSHORE/GATEWAY TRIANGLE REDEVELOPMENT AREA
WORK PLAN; ACCEPT TIlE ATTACHED WORK PROGRAM OUTIANING GENERAL WORK
PROGRAM AREAS, BUDGET EXPENDITURE ITEMS AND AMOUNTS.
(OBJECTIVE: To receive acceptance of the attached work program and FY 02/03 Fund 187 Budget as
recommended by the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Advisory Board.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Thus far, the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Advisory Board has identified four program areas for the CRA Board to
consider. These work programs require funding to be allocated from the tax increment funds (TIF) accrued from
the Redevelopment Area. Two of these work program areas, the Site Improvement and Impact Fee Assisumce
Grants, are described in detail under a separate Executive Summary. The remaining two program areas, Other-
Iq/rastrtwtttre and Admitdstrative Costs, comprise 60% and 10% of projected TIF revenues, respectively. To
allocate funds, the Advisory Board considered Ihe relative importance of the four programs and allocated
percentages to each program. See attached General Work Program table. Most of the tax increment funds are
allocated lo the Other-h~{>'astructure program area (60%). The primary purpose of this allocation is to fund
infrastructure improvements/additions and to reserve funds for the acquisition of real property in the flm~re
pursuant to the Adopted Redevelopment Plan and CRA Approval.
Also, the Advisory Board has reviewed thc draft budget for Fund 187 for FY 02/03 and has approved the
allocations based on current year program expenses and recognizing that future budget amendments and transfers
may be necessary. The budget also includes the estimated revenue expected as tax increment for this year. Based
on previous year's increase in taxable value in the Bayshore/Gateway area, the Budget Department has estimated a
10% increase in the expected increment ($404,700), which is added to the carry over revenue ($367,300) and the
interest ($12,000) from previous years, yielding a cumulative total of approximately $784,000 - see Total
Revemte.~ for FY 02-03 on table below:

FISCAL IMPACT:
CRA redevelopment efforts are partially fl~nded through Tax Increment Financing (TIF). Hence, the incremental
difference in tax revenues between the original frozen assessment value (1999), and the new higher assessed value
in the Redevelopment Area is used to finance redevelopment efforts in the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle
Redevelopment Area. The CRA Advisory Board recommends 30% of the first year of accrued tax increment
revenue be set aside to fired the two grant programs. More specifically, it is recommended that 20% of the annual
tax increment funds be allocated for Site Improvement Grants, and 10% allocated to impact Fee Assistance Grants
(see separate Executive Summary). It is further recommended that the CRA Board allocate 60% of the first year of
accrued tax increment to the Other-Infrastructure program and 10% to cover Administrative Costs. Partial fimding
of a new staff Planner position may come fi-om Administrative Costs, subject to CRA approval. It is
recommended that both the Advisory Board and CRA revisit the programs each year for adjustment as needed.
Because the Advisory Board has also been considering bonding the CRA TIF, the Advisory Board recommends
that only the first year of tax increment funds (FY 2000-2001) be committed to implementing the two Grant
Programs. Commitmen! of only FY 00-01 funds provides flexibility in meeting any debt service burdens and
adjustment of work program expenditures as deemed necessary.
Based on previous year's increase in taxable value in the Bayshore/Gateway area, the Budget Department has
estimated a 10% increase in the expected increment ($404,700), which is added to the carry over revenue
($367,300) and the interest ($12,000) ['rom previous years, yielding a cumulative total of approximately $784,000.
CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED REDEVELOPMENT PLAN:
The above-mentioned work program areas and allocations generally support the ob.iectives of the redevelopment
plan.
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, that may consider
alternative land use plans, modifications to development standards, and incentives to encourage redevelopment.
ADVISORY BOARD AND PLANNING SERVICES DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
That the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) accep! the attached work program and FY 02/03 Fund 187
Budget as recommended by lhe Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Advisory Board. Slight modifications
may be made during ~he final budg¢,l process.
Note: Approwfl of the attached work program is dependent on acceptance of file Incentive Grants Program (i.e. the
Site hnprovemen! and hnpac~ Fee Assistance Gnmts). The review and approval of the subject work program
shrmld be considt:red in tmison with lhese Grant Programs.

COMMUNITY REI}EVEI.JOPMENT AGENCY
EXli',C UTIVE SUMMARY
(_iRA AGENDA ITEM
7H
April 30, 21}02
RECOMMENDATION THAT TIlE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CRA)
SUPPORT AN EVALUATION OF BONDING P¢)TENTIAL FOR TAX INCREMENT FUNDS
AC(iRUED IN TIlE BAYSHORE/GATEWAY TRIANGLE REI}EVEIX)PMENT AREA.
OBJECTIVE: To get direction from the Community Redevelopment Agency on bonding tax
increment fiinds iu the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area.
CONSIDERATIONS:
CRA redevelopmem efforts are partially l'unded through Tax Increment Financing (TIF). Hence, the
incremental difference in tax revenues between the original frozen assessment value (1999), and the
new higher assessed value is used to finance redevelopment efforts in the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle
Redevelopmenl Area.
Several redevelopment objectives outlined in the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Plan
require significant capital outlay. This includes property acquisition and various infrastructure
improvements. Unfortunately, the ability to effectively execute some of these plan objectives requires
substantial funds. While TIF in the iBayshore/Gateway Triangle is expected to appreciate by a
substantial amount as time progresses (see Table I ), lack of adequate funds does represent a constraint
for some redevelopment objectives in the short-run.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The short term fiscal impact is the cost that may be incurred by the county for paying for the financial
and legal advice necessary to development a bonding plan. Should bonding occur, a significant debt
service burden may be incurred.
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, that may consider alternative land use plans, modifications to development standards, and
iucentives to encourage redevelop[neut.
ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
The Bayshore/Gateway I~ocal Redevelopment Advisory Board agrees that bonding tax increment fi~nds
is impommt in order to implement the adopted redevelopment plan. Thc Advisory Board recommends
thai County staff begin development o1' a bonding plan.
PI~ANNIN(; SERVICES RECOMMENI)ATION:

COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CRA AGENDA ITEM
8
April 30, 2002
RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
ESTABLISH A REGULAR MEETING SCHEDULE.
OBJECTIVE: To have the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) establish a regular meeting
schedule.
CONSIDERATIONS:
On March 14, 2000 the Board of County Commissioners declared itself to be the Community
Redevelopment Agency (BCC Resolution No. 2000-83). The guidance for this is provided in Section
163.357 (1), Florida Statutes. The members of the BCC are the members of the CRA, however, the
"members constitute the head of a legal entity, separate, distinct, and independent" from the BCC.
For the most part, CRAs in other communities hold separate CRA meetings. In some cases the meetings
are immediately preceding the regular governing board meeting, or in other cases, the meetings are
immediately following the governing board meeting. Other jurisdictions, including the cities of Naples,
Boynton Beach, Carrabelle, Hollywood, Largo, and Palmetto, as well as Madison County, hold CRA
completely separate from the governing board meetings. This is especially important for a CRA that is
comprised of the same members of the governing board to allow the members and the public to
distinguish the difference between the two bodies, as well as to separate roles of each. The City of Naples
holds a quarterly CRA meeting and addresses all CRA items during this meeting rather than during city
council meetings.
As the CRA progresses with implementation of the adopted Collier County Community Redevelopment
Plan, the Advisory Boards and staff will be busily preparing recommendations for the CRA to consider.
A regular meeting schedule would ensure that the Advisory Board members and staff would have a
timeframe for the CRA to meet and would allow the public a regular opportunity for CRA hearings.
The County Attorney's office has reviewed the options, including having the meeting immediately prior to
the BCC meeting, or immediately following, but decided neither option will work. Meetings prior to the
BCC meeting will not work because there is no guarantee the CRA meeting would end by 9:00 a.m. and
the BCC meeting must begin by 9:00 a.m. according to County Ordinance. If the CRA meeting were
immediately after, there would be no guarantee of the time it could start since BCC meetings do not have
a specific end time. This would make it extremely difficult for the public to know when to come for the
CRA meeting.
Any change to the meeting routine will likely require that the CRA bylaws be amended. CRA meetings
will require ten-day notice.
OPTIONS: 1. Hold quarterly CRA meetings immediately after BCC meetings - no time certain;
2. Hold quarterly CRA meetings after BCC meetings - at 5:00 p.m. or some other time, requiring
BCC meetings on those days to end at a time certain and reconvene later if necessary;
3. Hold quarterly CRA meetings on a day and time as determined by the CRA, first meeting to be
held as soon as practical, with future meetings every three months.
4. Hold CRA meetings as necessary on the 2nd Friday of the month, which is the same day that the
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) meets.
FISCAL IMPACT:
For independent CRA meetings, the CRA will pay for recording of minutes provided by the Clerk of
Courts from the Redevelopment Trust Fund using the same or similar contracts as already used by the
Clerk for recording of BCC minutes. Total expenditures associated with approval of this agreement will
be dependent on the actual number of hours and pages of transcription services that are utilized by the
CRA. However, based on an estimated average three (3) hour meeting, as well as the current contract rate
of $30.00 per hour and $9.45 per page, it is estimated that the total cost per year (with four meetings) will
be approximately $3,720.00. Charges for services covered under this agreement will be allocated between
Immokalee Redevelopment Fund (186) and Bayshore/Gateway Redevelopment Fund (187) based on
actual utilization. Funds will be transferred from CRA Funds (186 and 187) FY 02 Reserves.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT:
N/A
PLANNING SERVICES RECOMMENDATION:
That the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) choose OPTION 4., amend the bylaws as necessary
at the next regular CRA meeting and approve the necessary budget amendments.
