Agenda 11/13/2018 Item #17D11/13/2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to adopt an ordinance to create the Golden Gate City Economic Development Zone to facilitate economic development by establishing an Economic Development Plan and Trust Fund, setting a base tax year for the Fund, and reimbursing eligible expenditures as authorized in advance by the Board for use in encouraging economic growth. OBJECTIVE: To establish the Golden Gate City Economic Development Zone to provide enhanced opportunities for economic development and redevelopment within the existing commercial areas within Golden Gate City. CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County is expressly authorized under Section 125.045, Florida Statutes, to “expend public funds for economic development activities, including, but not limited to, developing or improving local infrastructure, issuing bonds to finance or refinance the cost of capital projects for industrial or manufacturing plants, leasing or conveying real property, and making grants to private enterprises for the expansion of businesses existing in the community or the attraction of new businesses to the community.” In furtherance of this, the Board previously adopted Ordinance No. 2010-20 providing for the creation of Innovation Zones, specifically finding as follows: “It is the policy of the Board to promote economic growth which results in high wage jobs and helps diversify the economy of Collier County. To further this policy, it is the intent of the Board to create a dedicated source of revenue to fund an economic development pr ogram and to advance economic development initiatives in zones of geographic concentration within the unincorporated areas of the County. These zones, to be called Innovation Zones, will be designated by the Board from time to time through the implementati on of Economic Development Plans adopted by resolution for each Innovation Zone.” Due to the compelling need for redevelopment within the commercial areas of Golden Gate City, Commissioner Burt Saunders initiated staff development of an ordinance for Board adoption which would create the Golden Gate City Economic Development Zone. The zone is comprised of the entirety of Golden Gate City. The proposed ordinance would create an Innovation Zone which is substantially identical to the Innovation Zones contemplated by Ordinance No. 2010-20. The ordinance creates a Trust Fund that works similar to a CRA, with tax increases over the base year being deposited into the Trust Fund. The difference between this proposed ordinance and the Innovation Zones created under Ordinance No. 2010- 20 is that the proposed ordinance establishes the County Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2015 as a base tax year instead of the following tax year as required by Ordinance No. 2010 -20. The reason is that the Innovation Zone Ordinance contemplated unimproved land which would develop over time, while the Golden Gate commercial district is largely built out and is in need of redevelopment. By using a prior base tax year, funding would be accelerated. The purpose of the Trust Fund is to implement an Economic Development Plan. The Plan is defined in the ordinance as follows: “The primary purpose of the Golden Gate City Economic Development Zone is to attract and retain qualified targeted industry business as defined by Florida Statute 288.106 and such businesses or industries identified by the Board of County Commissioners. Trust funds may be utilized in any lawful manner, including infrastructure required to serve new target businesses or the expansion of an existing target business; payment of County Impact Fees to be paid by the new target business or the expansion of an existing target business; and payment of building permit fees or other County fees related to the construction of structures to serve the target 17.D Packet Pg. 2233 11/13/2018 business. In addition to this primary purpose, trust funds may be utilized in any lawful manner which the Board of County Commissioners determines fosters economic development. Payment of funds are purely discretionary, and must be approved in advance by the Board of County Commissioners. All expenses must be fully documented in a manner acceptable to the County. Priority of funding will be for the redevelopment and renewal of the commercial district along Golden Gate Parkway, as graphically represented in Exhibit A.” The Trust Fund is capped at $1,000,000 and is subject to annual appropriation by the County. Upon termination of the Trust Fund any unspent and unencumbered proceeds reverts to the County’s General Fund. Lastly, the ordinance establishes a seven-member Golden Gate City Economic Development Zone Advisory Board, whose members are to be representative of the residential, business and commercial interests of the Golden Gate City Economic Development Zone. Non-residential members of the Advisory Board need not live within Golden Gate City, and upon recommendation of the Commissioner of the District, may reside outside of Collier County. The function, powers and duties of the Advisory Board is to aid and assist the Board of County Commissioners in carrying out th e purpose of the Golden Gate City Economic Development Zone, including but not limited to advising and assisting the Board of County Commissioners in the establishment, review and enhancement of policies and programs to attract businesses or industries to the Golden Gate City Economic Development Zone, reviewing and making recommendations on applications for funding through the Trust Fund, as well as handling any matters that may be assigned by the Board of County Commissioners. FISCAL IMPACT: As is the case with other innovation zones established in the County, funding will be in the form of a transfer from the General Fund and Unincorporated Area General Fund based upon the adopted millage rate for the specific funding year applied to the calculated tax increment. The tax increment will be calculated from data provided by the Property Appraiser's Office with the base tax year proposed as tax year 2015 (FY 2016). Tax increment deposits will begin on October 1, 2019, which is the start of the FY 2020 fiscal year. Dollars generated within the district will be devoted to improvements specific to the district. Of note, dollars earmarked toward all established CRA's and Innovation Zones are directed away from general appropriations in the General Fund and Unincorporated Area General Fund into restricted funds. For FY 2019 funding to all CRA's and Innovation Zones totals $5,756,500. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no Growth Management Impacts associated with this action. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK RECOMMENDATION: To adopt an ordinance to create the Golden Gate City Economic Development Zone to facilitate economic development by establishing an Economic Development Plan and Trust Fund, setting a base tax year for the Fund, and reimbursing eligible expenditures as authorized in advance by the Board for use in encouraging economic growth.
