The program, the Cultural District Development Initiative, will attract, develop and promote arts and culture and develop artistic enterprises that promote the revitalization of the district Description The Cultural District Development Initiative intends to explore visionary strategies to provide economic redevelopment, workforce housing and public space opportunities for the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA. These strategies will consist of rigorous analysis and assessment methodologies, creative urban design initiatives, community outreach processes and government partnerships. This initiative is to be developed in four phases. These phases are consecutive and assume greater levels of participation as they evolve. At all times, the process is intended to be inclusive, with a broad range of residential and commercial stakeholders represented. Goal The Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA's goal is to implement an economic development initiative to redevelop a significant portion of the CRA through the designation of a Cultural District as well as the creation of a District business plan and associated Capital Improvements Plan (CIP). A successfully implemented program' should attract the creative class, develop and promote arts and cultural enterprises, and develop artistic live-work housing areas and local events that promote the revitalization of the District Scope of Work PHASE 1.

At the same time, the area possesses a number of assets and presents some clear opportunities that are supportive of redevelopment. Purpose The purpose for the creation of a Cultural District and Cultural Master Plan is to provide a framework for a long-term vision that identifies key opportunities and strategies that can be implemented over the next ten (10) years to help transform the Community Redevelopment Area into a culturally significant region in the county. This Plan will recommend key actions to build financial stability, attract viable housing and cultural businesses as well as strengthen cultural organizations and infrastructure at the neighborhood level. The Cultural Plan will: · Determine the Cultural District boundaries. · Recommend an organizational structure to include staffing to direct the daily operations of the program and budget, coordinate with program partners, and establish a monitoring procedure to ensure quality and success. · Coordination with local educational institutions and community groups in the creation of a culturally-based business model to provide support and training to emerging art and culturally oriented businesses. · Develop a business plan to establish a business incubator program for arts and cultural venues; and establish monitoring procedures to ensure quality and success. · Explore the possibilities of creation of cultural zones, housing zones, public open space and recreational zones and public/private partnership zones. · Creation of a strategy that encourages rehabilitation of selected residential neighborhoods into an artIculture-related live- work village. · Development and implementation of a program that will encourage private home ownership through the attraction of arts and arts-related investment and business. The Project's alignment with the Livability Principles is as follows: Promote Equitable, Affordable Housing: · Creation of a strategy that encourages rehabilitation of the housing stock and develops enterprises that include, but are not limited to, arts and culture. · Development and implementation of a program to encourage private home ownership through the attraction of arts and arts-related investment and business to the target area. · Establishment of a procedure for residential property acquisition and disposition. · Review existing programs for low and moderate income (LM!) housing and coordination with local housing agencies to create or enhance housing opportunities and educational and business opportunities which foster the arts.

The CRA is at important stage of its growth and has the rare opportunity to develop a public place which celebrates the cultural heritage of the area, provides a place for families and residents of all ages, and promotes and enriches the cultural activities. · The Plan will require the ongoing stewardship of the CRA, County Commission, local arts non-profit (Bayshore Cultural and Performing Arts [CAPA]) and civic-minded organization for its adoption and implementation. o Enhance educational opportunities that result in nurturing the intellectual capital, resulting in a destination of choice for creative people. o Collaborative planning for a Collier County Performing Arts School. o Provide performance venue, rehearsal space for Edison State College Collier Campus Fine Arts Program. · Coordination with local educational institutions and community groups in the creation of a culturally-based business model to provide support and training to residents. · Review of existing development incentive programs and establishment of a new incentive package to attract funding from available sources. The establishment of an incentive package should include the solicitation of funds from all possible sources, including foundations, institutions and other agencies. The package should induce other compatible individuals, groups or entities to relocate in or near the targeted area. · Development of a brand for the area, a marketing strategy and the establishment and coordination of an annual event that promotes the program. · The development of marketing materials that include development of a web site, advertisements as well as outreach to local and national media. Support Existing Communities: · Foster entrepreneurship and innovative local businesses to develop practical partnerships and programs to support cultural and creative businesses in the Cultural District and broaden dialogue about creativity and the knowledge economy. · Collaborate and build partnerships to maintain strong support networks and relationships among all orders of government, individuals, businesses and community groups. · Creation of a strategy that encourages rehabilitation of selected residential neighborhoods and establishes a structure for qualification and approval of artists-in-residence. · Provide accessible, affordable cultural enrichment for an underserved community. · Create jobs in construction, facility maintenance, staff, and related businesses.

Value Communities and Neighborhoods: · Remove systemic barriers to cultural activity and incorporate the specific needs of cultural activities and facilities into the County's zoning, parking and signage regulations. · Work with County Parks and Recreation to develop a strategy that identifies and assesses the contribution that celebrations and festivals can make to cultural development, tourism, identity and economic development in the Cultural District's neighborhoods. · Review existing programs for low and moderate income (LMI) housing and coordinate with local housing agencies to create or enhance housing opportunities and educational and business opportunities which foster the arts. · Encourage residents within the CRA neighborhood to be active participants in the growth of the Cultural District by establishing cultural enrichment by and for them. · Collaborate with Naples Botanical Garden and Avalon and Shadowlawn Elementary Schools that are complementary, thus adding to the walkable nature of the community. Rating Factor 2 - Work Plan (35 points) Work Plan Background: The CRA, in cooperation with the Bayshore Cultural and Performing Arts (CAP A) group, and Collier County government desires to develop a community driven Cultural District Master Plan for the proposed Cultural District section of the CRA. The goal is to quantify a 'vision' for what area residents and stakeholders want to see developed and create an implementable plan (Plan). This Plan will establish an area (District), recommend a governing body and operational staff, and establish a composite set of goals and objectives with well-defined measurable outcomes. Successful completion of the Plan's goals and objectives will ensure an art/cultural destination that will distinguish the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA from other typical 'town centers' that are becoming common place in the County. The unique features of this 'vision' are primarily composed of elements related to beautiful public spaces and arts and culture that Page 6 of 14 Application ID: bayshorecra-0545 Agenda Item No. 1683 September 14, 2010 TIGER II and Community Challenge Planning Grant Page 17 of 43 Bayshore Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Agency Collier County, Florida will define the Cultural District Development Initiative. Further the development of the Plan includes progressive urban/suburban design that encourages a walkable community with a strong sense of identity. Work Plan Narrative: The Plan will draw from established best practices in cultural planning and guided by six principles: 1. Create a 'sense of place' where people want to live. Focus on the development of cultural resources, support for creative activities, and quality of place rather than on individual cultural disciplines. 2. Celebrate multi-culturalism and inter-cultural ism. The interaction of people of diverse cultures, traditions and backgrounds creates synergies that produce new ideas, an authentic identity, talents and perspectives that fuel innovation and have positive economic and social impacts. 3. Attract and retain talent. All residents, cultural organizations, businesses, industries, educational and community agencies nurture artistic and creative talent and incubate new ideas and initiatives. 4. Foster entrepreneurship and innovative businesses. Develop practical partnerships and programs to support cultural and creative businesses in the Cultural District and broaden dialogue about creativity and the 'knowledge economy'. 5. Collaborate and build partnerships. Build and maintain strong support networks and relationships among all orders of government, individuals, businesses and community groups. 6. Create an authentic and shared identity. Value all the elements of the local cultural system and the interrelationships between them. Work Plan Strategies and Activities: 1. Creation of an overall strategy that encourages rehabilitation of the housing stock and develops enterprises that include, but are not limited to, arts and culture. 2. Development and implementation of a program that will encourage private home ownership through the attraction of arts and arts-related investment and business to the target area. 3. Establishment of a structure for operation of the program and coordination with partners. 4. Review of existing programs for low and moderate income (LMI) housing and coordination with local housing agencies to create or enhance housing opportunities and educational and business opportunities which foster the arts. 5. Coordination with local educational institutions and community groups in the creation of a culturally-based business model to provide support and training to residents. 6. Review of existing development incentive programs and establish new incentive packages to induce individuals, groups or entities to relocate in or near the targeted area. 7. Development of a brand for the area, a marketing strategy and the establishment and coordination of an annual event that promotes the program.

The current Master Plan was developed in 1999 with the goal of eliminating slum and blight, encouraging the acquisition, demolition and reuse of underutilized properties, and developing housing opportunities within the redevelopment area. The CRA will advertise a Request for Proposals (RFP) for services to accomplish a scope of work for services that will update the Plan. The updated Plan will reflect the outcome of an outreach strategy including community and stakeholder involvement process. Description The Redevelopment Agency Master Plan Update project intends to explore visionary strategies to provide economic redevelopment, workforce housing and public space opportunities for the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA. These strategies will consist of rigorous analysis and assessment methodologies, creative urban design initiatives, community outreach processes and government partnerships. This initiative is to be developed in four phases. These phases are consecutive and assume greater levels of participation as they evolve. At all times, the process is intended to be inclusive, with a broad range of residential and commercial stakeholders represented. Goal The Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA's goal is to implement an economic development initiative to continue the redevelopment 1800 acres in Collier County, Florida. Through the designation of a CRA, a current and viable Master Plan and associated Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) willlead to a staff and volunteer public implementation process that will attract the entrepreneurial business class, develop and promote economic enterprises, attract the construction of newer affordable workforce housing areas and promote the revitalization of the entire CRA area. The Plan Update shall include, but not be limited to: Scope of Work PHASE 1. Development of a Concept Plan with Objectives, Strategies . Economic Market Review and Development Analysis .

For purposes of illustration, the "CRA area" should be known as the entire area, the "Bay shore area" should be known as the area of the CRA located south of Tamiami Trail East and the "Triangle area" is the land located north ofTamiami Trail East. All other locations within this grant application are described by road and intersections. CJ eRA Bayshore Gateway Triangle eRA Boundary N W~E S o 025 0.5 1 Miles Rating Factor 1 - Purpose and Outcomes (35 points) Existing Conditions The Bayshore and Gateway Triangle area is beset by many problems that are typical of older urban areas that have been passed over in the wave of newer urban development: dilapidated and vacant structures; inadequate site amenities; inadequate drainage and other public facilities, and the reuse of older residential and commercial structures by marginal or less-desirable users. At the same time, the area possesses a number of assets and presents some clear opportunities that are supportive of redevelopment. The current Bayshore Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Plan includes a study of the area completed in 1999 which identifies four distinct manifestations of slum and blight within the CRA: · Predominance of defective or inadequate street layout; · Faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility or usefulness; · Unsanitary or unsafe conditions; · Deterioration of site or other improvements Page 3 of 14 TIGER II and Community Challenge Planning Grant Bayshore Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Agency Collier County, Florida Agenda Item No. 1683 September 14, 2010 Page 33 of 43 Purpose The purpose for the update of the CRA Master Plan is to provide a framework for a long-term vision that identifies key opportunities and strategies that can be implemented over the next ten (10) years to help transform the Community Redevelopment Area into an economically significant region in the county. This Plan will recommend key actions to build fmancial stability, attract viable housing and sustainable businesses as well as strengthen existing organizations and infrastructure at the neighborhood level. The l'urpose of the revision of the CRA Redevelopment Master Plan is to address the following issues and others as discovered through the revision process: · Access to more transportation options through increased public transportation accessibility and correction of transportation infrastructure deficiencies; · Reduce crime rates within the area and create a sense of unity and community among the area residents through redevelopment; · Transform streetscapes, improve the community by encouraging public interaction and help to create and retain jobs through increased business activity; · Create affordable homeownership opportunities for area residents; · Protect cultural heritage and showcase the history of the area; · Provide for a safe environment through the redevelopment of storm water management systems; · Create sustainability in the area through redevelopment. The Redevelopment Master Plan will: · Determine if the CRA boundaries should be adjusted. · Determine the daily operations of the program and budget, coordinate with program partners, and establish a monitoring procedure to ensure quality and success. · Coordinate with local educational institutions and community groups in the creation of a education-based business model to provide support and training to emerging businesses. · Develop a business plan to establish a business incubator program; and establish monitoring procedures to ensure quality and success. · Explore the possibilities of creation of cultural zones, housing zones, public open space and recreational zones and public/private partnership zones. · Creation of a strategy that encourages rehabilitation of selected residential neighborhoods into an art/culture-related live-work village. · Development and implementation of a program that will encourage private home ownership through the attraction of private investment and business entrepreneurs. The Redevelopment Master Plan's long-range strategic goals will include: · Actively marketing development and redevelopment sites to potential investors, · Facilitating new development on vacant sites and redevelopment of previously developed sites, · Purchasing and cleaning up sites with unsafe or unsanitary conditions, · Provide incentives to achieve the type and style of growth that supports the CRA Master Plan · Partnering with investors and builders to improve public right-of-way and infrastructure. The Project's alignment with the Livability Principles is as follows: Provide More Transportation Choices: The project area is accessible from all areas of the county and region. One of the strongest assets of the area is its location at the convergence of major regional roadway infrastructure and the high capacity of these six lane arterial facilities that link the area to all parts of Collier County, Naples and the region. These roadways bring Page 4 of 14 TIGER II and Community Challenge Planning Grant Bayshore Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Agency Collier County, Florida thousands ofIocal commuters and visitors to and through the study area daily. Agenda Item No. 1683 September 14, 2010 Page 34 of 43 Through the update of the CRA Redevelopment plan: · Add provisions for safe, reliable and affordable transportation choices to decrease household transportation costs, · Provide further access to public transportation sources, therefore reducing energy consumption and dependence on foreign oil, improving air quality, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting public health, · Address limited public transit infrastructure and recommend additional services. Success will be achieved and measured through the following initiatives: · Increase the ease of use and accessibility of public transportation: o Execute a plan for easily accessible bus stops with shelters, o Study the need for additional stops along streets that lack service within the CRA area. o Make street improvements to connect existing streets for better circulation. o Improving storm drainage to reduce water damage and vehicular hazards. · Bayshore Drive Pedestrian Streetscaping: o Continue the County-formed a Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) that has improved the streetscape for bicycles and pedestrians. o Corridor pattern improvements would be continued through the upgrading of the other collector roads that have not been improved. o Enhanced vehicular corridors should include improvements to the streetscape and to the pedestrian access to the roads. Promote Equitable, Mfordable Housing: The CRA seeks to achieve sustainable, affordable and economically vital housing options for people of various ages, ethnicities, and occupational backgrounds. One vehicle the CRA will develop is a Neighborhood Focus Initiative program. The residential neighborhoods within the CRA, while beset by several problems, exhibit several strong neighborhood characteristics that should be strengthened. The updated Redevelopment Plan will formalize the Neighborhood Focus Initiative and provide procedures to bring the updated concept into fruition. The Plan will expand upon the neighborhood layout that currently exists within the CRA area, thus creating further access to affordable housing and increased mobility for residents. Goals: · Creation of a strategy that encourages rehabilitation of the housing stock and develops enterprises that include residential infill housing projects. · Development and implementation of a program to encourage private home ownership through the attraction of arts and arts-related investment and businesses to the target area. · Establishment of a procedure for residential property acquisition and disposition. · Review existing programs for low and moderate income (LMI) housing and coordination with local housing agencies to create or enhance housing opportunities and educational and business opportunities which foster the arts. Success will be achieved and measured through the following initiatives: · Providing support of Neighborhood Organizations for planning and action on a variety of fronts such as community policing, clean-up activities, informational workshops, home ownership programs, finance and employment counseling, etc. · Code Enforcement to include vacant property cleanup and removal of abandoned automobiles. · CRA initiated and funded home improvement grant programs. · Mfordable home-builder/developer orientation programs.
