Agenda 06/26/2018 Item #16B206/26/2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners, acting as the Community Redevelopment Agency Board (CRAB), authorize the Chair to sign the necessary documentation to transfer the Voluntary Tax Credit Certification No. 287 to Valley National Bank and credit proceeds towards the purchase price for the 5.27 Acre site within the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA as identified in the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Real Estate Partners International, LLC. OBJECTIVE: To transfer the Voluntary Tax Credit Certificate No. 287 prior to expiration and allow the incentive that was include in the Purchase and Sale Agreement to be satisfied. CONSIDERATIONS: On January 25, 2011, the Board of County Commissioners acting as the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency Board (CRAB), applied for a Voluntary Cleanup Tax Credit (VCTC) to Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for the removal of an underground storage tank and site rehabilitation at the CRA-owned property at 4315 Bayshore Drive. Total cost for the rehabilitation was $56,337.11 and the Site Rehabilitation tax credit claim was $28,168.55 as allowed under Rule 62-788.300, F.A.C. On July 1, 2013, the CRA received notice from FDEP it was awarded the tax credit certific ate in the amount of $28,168.55 (Certificate No. 287). Tax credits can apply to Florida corporate income tax. On April 26, 2016, the CRAB approved the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Real Estate Partners International, LLC (REPI) for the 5.27 acres of property within the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area. The purchase price for the property is $6,372,959. One of the benefits to the purchaser as identified in the Agreement is the transfer of two Voluntary Cleanup Tax Credit Certificates (Certificate No. 287 and Certificate No.348). Tax Credit Certificates expire 5 years after they are issued. They can be transferred only one time to another entity. The new entity will have 5 years to use the credits. Tax Credit Certificate No. 287 will expire on July 9, 2018 and Tax Credit Certificate No. 348 will expire July 14, 2019. Since REPI has not closed on the property and REPI is unable to use the credits now, they have requested the certificate be transferred to another entity and the proceeds be allocated towards REPI purchase price to the CRA. If the certificate is not transferred the credit will expire. USAmeriBank contacted the Bayshore CRA office in June 2017 requesting information on the certificates and stated its interest in purchasing the certificates. At that time, the bank was informed that the certificates had been assigned to REPI. Valley National Bank, acquired USAmeriBank in January 1, 2018. Due to the time constraints, Valley National Bank was contacted to see if they were sti ll interested in purchasing Certificate No. 287 and they have offered to purchase the certificate at .875 cents per dollar, for a total of $24,647.48. REPI has consented to the discounted sale of Voluntary Clean Up Tax Credit Certificate No. 287 to Valley National Bank so long as the consideration is credited to REPI's benefit upon closing. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds received will be held in Bayshore CRA Reserves (Fund 187) until REPI closes on the property. At the time of closing the proceeds from the sale/transfer of Tax Credit Certificate No. 287 will be credited towards REPI purchase price. In the event REPI doesn’t close, the funds will be available for Bayshore CRA redevelopment purposes. If the tax certificate is not transferred, the value will be lost. 06/26/2018 GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: None LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board approval. - JAB RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners, acting as the Community Redevelopment Agency Board (CRAB), authorize the Chair to sign the necessary documentation to transfer the Voluntary Tax Credit Certification No. 287 to Valley National Bank and credit proceeds towards the purchase price for the 5.27 Acre site within the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA as identified in the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Real Estate Partners International, LLC.

VINY:ARD JR. SECRETARY JUL $Y• • •itif fist.. s: r1}t is t. trp You recently received a letter from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Department) notifying you that Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency was eligible to receive a voluntary cleanup tax credit (VCTC) pursuant to Chapter 376.30781, Florida Statutes (F.S.). The letter also stated that the Department could not issue a tax credit certificate at that time because the annual tax credit authorization had been exhausted. Effective July 1, the Department has been authorized to issue $5 million in tax credit certificates in first-come, first- served order based on the date and time of receipt of a complete application. The tax credit certificate issued to Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency in the amount of $28,168.55 is enclosed. Tax credits can apply toward corporate income tax pursuant to Section 220.1845, F.S. These tax credits may be used by attaching the enclosed VCTC Certificate to an annual tax return filed with the Florida Department of Revenue (DOR), or the credits may be transferred pursuant to Section 220.1845(1)(g), F.S. The original certificate must be filed with the DOR to claim the credit or returned to the DEP to execute a transfer; copies will not be accepted. Voluntary Cleanup Tax Credits have been determined to be "state financial assistance" within the meaning of the Florida Single Audit Act (FSAA) (see Section 215.97, F.S.). Therefore, please review the enclosed document entitled "Attachment 1 Special Audit Requirements" to ascertain whether you may be subject to the requirements of the FSAA. The Department's REMINDER! The recipient of the enclosed voluntary cleanup tax credit certificate must surrender it to claim the credit. Please be careful not to lose or misplace this certificate. THANK YOU.

Survey and Title Matters. a. Survey. Purchaser may, at its cost, prior to Closing obtain a current survey of the Property ("the Survey") prepared by a registered land surveyor, licensed in the State of Florida (the "Surveyor").

Title Evidence/Title Objections. Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall obtain, at Purchaser's expense a current title insurance commitment and a copy of all exceptions referred to therein (the "Title Commitment") from Old Republic Title Insurance Company or other licensed title insurance company acceptable to Purchaser (the "Title Company").

Purchaser may object to matters that: (i) adversely affect the marketability of title to the Property in accordance with law; (ii) are set forth as requirements by the Title Company in schedule BI; or (iii) are encumbrances, easements, restrictions or other matters encumbering the Property, whether or not scheduled as exceptions to coverage in schedule B2, if Purchaser believes that they will interfere with, restrict, or adversely affect its proposed use of the Property. Any matters shown on schedule B2 to which Purchaser does not so timely object will be considered as Permitted Encumbrances to which Purchaser shall take title subject to. Seller shall have no obligation to cure any such Title Objections, but Seller shall notify Purchaser within five (5) days after receipt of Purchaser's notice of Title Objections as to whether Seller is willing to cure all or any of Purchaser's Title Objections. Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period if Purchaser is not satisfied with Seller's election as to title matters. In the event that Seller elects to cure any Title Objections, Seller shall have until the Closing Date (as defined below) to attempt to cure them. If Seller is unable or unwilling (provided, however, that if the Seller has caused a particular Title Objection or if Seller has given notice to Purchaser that it has elected to cure such Title Objection, then Seller shall exercise good faith efforts with respect to such title defect that it caused or elected to remove, to remove the defects by the Closing Date). If despite Seller's election to cure it is not able to do so by the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall have the option of either accepting title as it then exists, or extending the closing date by mutual agreement with the Seller, or demanding a refund of the Total Earnest Money paid hereunder which shall be returned forthwith to Purchaser, and thereupon Purchaser and Seller shall be released of all further obligations under this Agreement. At any time prior to Closing, Purchaser shall be entitled to have the effective date of the Title Commitment (or subsequently updated title commitment) brought current and if the updated Title Commitment (or prior updated title commitment as the case may by) reveals any matters which were not contained in the original Title Commitment which adversely affect the marketability of title, then Purchaser shall notify Seller of such adverse matter and Seller shall exercise good faith efforts to cause the removal of the adverse matter to the extent otherwise required under the provisions of this Section. Page 4 of 22 7. Inspection Period and Due Diligence. a. Purchaser shall have until one -hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Date (hereinafter referred to as the "Inspection Period") to: (i) determine if the Property is satisfactory to Purchaser in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion; (ii) evaluate the feasibility of obtaining the approvals identified in the Land Use Entitlement Condition in Sections 8 and 9(a)(iv) to enable Purchaser to use the Property as Purchaser has proposed; (iii) evaluate the economic feasibility of its development, and other matters affecting the Property; (iv) determine that all government permits, approvals, and entitlements, as now exist respecting the Property remain in full force and effect; (v) evaluate the acceptability of the Permitted Encumbrances in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion; (vi) meet and negotiate with the cell telephone tower tenant on the Property concerning the possible future relocation of the cell telephone tower were Purchaser to close on the purchase of the Property and proceed with its planned development; (vii) evaluate the ability to obtain various CRA benefits that may be available, including but not limited to, approval for Tax Increment Financing respecting the Property; and (viii) prepare and evaluate applications with Collier County, in its governmental capacity, to rezone the Property, and if and as necessary, to amend the Collier County Growth Management Plan and/or Land Development Code then obtain related permits to allow for and authorize development as outlined in the Purchaser Proposal, all as specified in Sections 8, 9(a)(iv) and 9(a)(v) and to obtain various CRA benefits that may be available. Seller, as the owner of the Property hereby authorizes Purchaser to do so. If, for any reason, Purchaser is not satisfied with the Property or the results of its inspections, or evaluations, then Purchaser may at its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice to Seller delivered on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, terminate this Agreement, in which event Escrow Agent shall promptly refund to Purchaser the Initial Earnest Money, with any interest actually earned thereon, and thereafter the parties hereto shall have no further rights, duties, or obligations to sell or purchase hereunder. If Purchaser fails to give any such written notice on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, then such termination right shall be deemed waived and of no further force or effect. During the Inspection Period, Purchaser may, in Purchaser's sole discretion and at Purchaser's expense, have the Property tested and inspected to determine if the Property contains any hazardous or toxic substances, wastes, materials, pollutants or contaminants. As used herein, "Hazardous Substances" shall mean and include all hazardous and toxic substances, wastes or materials, any pollutants or contaminates (including, without limitation, asbestos and raw materials which include hazardous components), or other similar substances, or materials which are included under or regulated by any local, state or federal law, rule or regulation pertaining to environmental regulation, contamination or clean-up, including, without limitation, "CERCLA", "RCRA", or state superlien or environmental clean-up statutes (all such laws, rules and regulations being referred to collectively as "Environmental Laws"). Purchaser may obtain a hazardous waste report (the "Report) prepared by a licensed or registered engineer. Purchaser shall maintain a log that lists all third party consultant engagements and tracks their status. Purchaser shall have all such third party reports certified to Purchaser and to Seller. In the event that Purchaser terminates this Agreement at any time, Purchaser shall immediately deliver the originals of all such third party reports, as well as the log, to Seller. The third party reports and log need not be provided to Seller if Purchaser closes the purchase. b. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at Purchaser's option, Page 5 of 22 Purchaser may extend the Inspection Period for an additional thirty (30) days upon written notification to Seller during the Inspection Period and delivery to Seller of a sum of Ten Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) as consideration for the extension. Should Purchaser close on this Agreement, Purchaser shall receive a credit for this additional Escrow Deposit towards the Purchase Price. C. During the Inspection Period Purchaser will meet with the Naples Airport Authority (NAA) to discuss the proposed building height and to determine what concerns, if any, the NAA may have and how such may be satisfied or mitigated. No later than thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Inspection Period Purchaser will provide to Seller a written Height Notice, which will contain a summary of its discussion with the NAA, and copies of any correspondence, agreements of support or statements of no objection regarding a specific building height on the Property. If the Height Notice summary report and NAA correspondence demonstrate support or no objection to buildings of the height contained in Purchasers Proposal, or such lower height that is acceptable to Purchaser, then Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that such lower height shall replace 200 feet as the height in Exhibit E and the applicable condition in section 9(a)(iv). If, however, the Height Notice does not include specific correspondence demonstrating support or no objection to buildings of a specific height, then Purchaser in such Height Notice will advise the Seller of what building height lower than 200 feet, if any, would be acceptable to Purchaser to preserve the catalytic nature of Purchasers Proposal, and therein also provide a summary of why Purchaser believes such lower height should replace 200 feet as the height contained in Exhibit E and the applicable condition in section 9(a)(iv). In this circumstance, Seller must advise Purchaser in writing within ten business (10) days after receipt of such Height Notice as to whether Seller will accept the inclusion of such building height, as Purchaser has indicated will be acceptable to it, as an included requirement in the Land Use Entitlement Conditions described in Section 8 below. If Seller agrees to the height outlined under either Height Notice scenario, then approval of such height by all relevant government bodies shall be a part of the Land Use Entitlement Conditions. If Seller does not so agree it must advise Purchaser as to the height it will accept as part of the Land Use Entitlement Conditions. Seller's failure to timely respond in such ten business (10) day period will be deemed to be agreement to inclusion as an entitlement condition in section 8 below. By agreeing to set a height limit as an entitlement condition, the Seller in no way diminishes the rights or obligates the Board of County Commissioners to review and approve or disapprove the land use application during the entitlement process. The Purchaser recognizes that agreement by the Seller to establish a height for the purposes of an entitlement condition in no way predetermines a height approval for the purposes of the land entitlement process. d. Upon expiration of the Inspection Period and any extension periods granted, the Initial Earnest Money and any payment made to extend the Inspection Period it, as provided in Section 7(b) above, as well as the Additional Earnest Money, shall be considered non-refundable, except to the extent the conditions precedent to Purchaser's performance in Section 9 are not satisfied. Provided, however, the Initial Earnest Money will be non-refundable even if the Land Use Entitlement Conditions defined in Section 8 below are not satisfied. 8. Land Use Entitlement Conditions. Among all other conditions in paragraph 9, Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Property is contingent on Purchaser obtaining final Page 6 of 22 approval of any rezone, and any amendment(s) to the Collier County Growth Management Plan and/or Land Development Code, as are necessary to obtain such rezone, to permit the uses (inclusive of height) outlined in Purchaser Proposal as more specifically described in Exhibit E (the "Land Use Entitlement Conditions"). In order to have this condition apply, Purchaser must: (i) submit its application to Collier County to rezone the Property, together with any additional lands Purchaser may own or have contracted to buy, and to amend the Collier County Growth Management Plan and/or Land Development Code not later than sixty (60) days after the end of the Inspection Period, as it may be extended, and (ii) comply with all applicable requirements to set (and actually request) a hearing on the rezone application before the Board of County Commissioners. Purchaser's application to rezone the Property shall include a reasonably detailed site or master plan with elevation sketches, such detailed site or master plan shall be submitted no later than ninety (90) days prior to the Collier County Planning Commission hearing. Purchaser shall pursue such applications with reasonable diligence and in a timely and commercially reasonable manner consistent with the prevailing standards of practice applicable to handling and processing land use matters in Collier County, Florida. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller desires that Purchaser attempt to satisfy the Land Use Entitlement Conditions within twelve (12) months after the date of the applicable applications. Purchaser will attempt to meet such time frame. In furtherance thereof, Seller agrees to use its best efforts to cause the Collier County Growth Management Division and/or the Board of County Commissioners to: (i) designate the application submitted by Purchaser as "Fast Track Process" (whereby county staff will be required to review and respond to any submittals within fifteen (15) business days); (ii) cause the applications for amendments to the Collier County Growth Management Plan and Land Development Code, to be processed concurrently with Purchaser's application to rezone the Property; and (iii) permit any amendment to the Collier County Comprehensive Plan to be received and processed "out of cycle", if necessary. The Purchaser, in turn acting in good faith, shall respond to comments from any submittal for review within fifteen (15) business days. Notwithstanding the persistence of Purchaser and Seller in diligently pursing the Entitlement process, the Parties agree the final BCC Hearing may ultimately occur outside the twelve (12) month processing goal, and agree there is no outside date for closing so long as Purchaser is pursuing the entitlements in an expeditious and timely manner consistent with the standards set forth herein. Closing shall be scheduled and occur in accordance with Paragraph I I (a), below, based on the timing of all such approvals by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners. In accord with Section 9(a)(iv), should the Purchaser wish to include additional lands owned by third parties in the application for approval of the Land Use Entitlement, the Purchaser shall provide an updated Purchaser Proposal identifying the additional land and Purchaser's plans for its inclusion with the Property in such application and allow the Seller a thirty (30) day review period. The Seller reserves the right to approve or deny the updated Purchaser Proposal within the review period. Failure to respond to the Purchaser's updated Purchaser Proposal within the review period shall be interpreted as approval by the Seller. Should the Seller deny the updated Purchaser Proposal, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Additional Earnest Money, but not the Initial Earnest Money.

(i) waiving the condition precedent and closing without reduction to the Purchase Price in accordance with the other terms and provisions of this Agreement; or (ii) canceling this Agreement by providing Seller written notice of such cancellation no later than 9:00 AM on the date scheduled for Closing in which event Purchaser shall receive a refund of the Additional Earnest Money. In the event that Purchaser fails to timely provide Seller with written notice of its election of either option (i), or (ii) herein, then, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (ii). Notwithstanding the eighteen month (18) limitation above, on written request from the Purchaser, the County Manager may, but is not obligated to, extend this 18 month period for successive 30 day periods up to a total of 6 months after the end of such 18 month period. . 10.

Purchaser shall pay all fees and costs of such applications. Seller agrees to execute such authorizations, designations of agents and approvals and consents as may be required for Purchaser to do so. As specified in Sections 8 and 9(a)(iv), Purchaser has the right to include additional contiguous and adjacent land owned by Purchaser, or which it may subsequently contract to purchase, in such applications subject to restrictions and limitations as set forth in this agreement. 11.
