4 I. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN A. BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION The proposed boundaries of the Northside West Initial Action Area are shown on the Project Boundaries Map (Exhibit NW-IAP-1), and include all those tracts or parcels of land, improved and unimproved, lying and being in the Northside West Community Redevelopment Area of Jacksonville, Florida, and described in detail in Appendix A, attached hereto. This Initial Action Area is a portion of, and lies entirely within, the Northside West Community Redevelopment Area as previously adopted by the Jacksonville City Council. B. PREVIOUS DESIGNATION OF THE AREA This Initial Action Plan is pursuant to Ordinance , adopted by the Jacksonville City Council on August 11, 1981 establishing the Northside West Community Redevelopment Area in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 163, Part III, Community Redevelopment Act of 1969, Florida Statutes, as amended. That Ordinance states, in part, that "the DDA shall from time to time present specific development projects for the implementation of the redevelopment plan to the City in order that this Council may be assured of compliance by the said agency with the Plan, which is adopted and made a part of this Resolution". This Plan for the Initial Action Area has been prepared by the DDA and represents that agency's recommendations to Council for specific developmental projects for the implementation of the Community Redevelopment Plan, Northside West Community Redevelopment Area, dated June, 1981, as adopted by Ordinance This Initial Action Plan conforms in all respects to the redevelopment plan with the exception that the precise delineation of certain land.use areas, and of certain street closings and improvements, has been altered slightly as a result of more detailed analysis and study. C. PLAN OBJECTIVES The objectives of this Plan tained within the objectives of, Redevelopment Plan, as adopted. are included here: are the same as, and are conthe Northside West Community For convenience, those objectives 1. Acquire and remove structurally substandard and obsolete buildings in the project area detrimental to the safety or welfare of the community, including buildings

5 exhibiting blighting influences causing physical and environmental deterioration; 2. Acquire property where the conditions. of title, diverse ownership, lot layouts, or other conditions prevent the proper development of the property and where such acquisition is necessary to carry out this Re.development Plan; 3. Increase the opportunities for both ta~porary and fulltime employment of Jacksonville residents; 4. Stabilize andllnprove the existing residential neighborhood northwest of Park Street through new construction and rehabilitation in order to minimize displacement of present residents; 5. Provide land for public and private development which will support and strengthen the city's commercial base (these development types may include residential, office, retail, entertainment, hotel, parking and open space uses); 6. Strengthen the tax base of Jacksonville through new development in the Community Redevelopment Area; 7. Increase Jacksonville's penetration of the economic activity generated by the growth of downtown Jacksonville by developing additional commercial, residential, transportation and open space uses in the redevelopment area; 8. Provide pedestrian linkages within the project area; 9. Provide a strong visual image for the project area through consistently high quality of building design, open space plaza and park areas, and landscape treatment; 10. Relocate existing uses, where necessary, in close cooperation with these affected users and offer relocation opportunities pursuant to applicable law; 12. Provide the additional public services necessary to serve new development; and 11. Provide public improvements to complement and serve new development, including needed utilities, street closings and changes, streetscape improvements, open space landscaping, pedestrian linkages, parking, and bikeway linkages. -2-

6 13. Enhance the image of Northside West and the Jacksonville area in general through the redevelopment of the area. 14. Insure that fair and equitable treatment is afforded to relocated persons from their homes and businesses as a result of public agency acquisition. Persons displaced from residences as a result of redevelopment projects shall be provided with benfits and services which shall insure comparable replacement housing at rents and prices within the financial means of the families or individuals displaced Encourage energy conservation in all new development through innovative building and development techniques. 16. Encourage private and public development of housing for elderly and low and moderate income families. 17. Encourage the employment of Brooklyn residents on construction projects within the redevelopment area. 18. Utilize light industrial areas as buffers between residential areas and highways. Utilize existing stream valley/drainage ways as part of an overall recreation and open space system. 19. Encourage developers to incorporate environmental amenities within their project such as landscaped plazas, additional public rights-of-way or easements, publicly accessible works of art, etc. D. CONFORMANCE TO COMMUNITY OBJECTIVES This initial Action Plan represents specific developmental projects consistent with the Northside West Community Redevelopment Plan approved by Council on August 11, Pages 3 through 11 of the Community Redevelopment Plan, Northside West Community Redevelopment Area, dated June, 1981, establish the conformance to community objectives and are hereby incorporated into this Initial Action Plan by reference. -3-

7 II. EXISTING USES AND CONDITIONS A. EXISTING USES Exhibit NW-IAP-1 was prepared and included here as a convenient reference for identifying selected businesses and features within the area. It should be noted that the indicated users are not necessarily the property owners. Ownership is shown "in Appendix Bl through B31. Exhibit NW-IAP-2 illustrates existing land uses within the Initial Action Area. Existing uses were placed in one of seven categories for t_his analysis. Following is a summary description of each: 1. Vacant Land. This category includes those parcels, or substantial portions of otherwise occupied parcels, which are currently vacant and untended. Included in this category are lands which are occasionally used for temporary, informal parking or storage. 2. Residential. This category includes only the parcels with residential structures still being used as residences. Residential type structures which are now used for commercial or other uses are included in the other appropriate category. The predominant residential type found in the area is single family. 3. Commercial. This category includes office, retail and retail services. Office functions associated with predominantly wholesale, light industrial or other uses are included in another appropriate category. 4. Industrial, Wholesale and Supply. This category includes all those commercial uses which are oriented to nonretail specialty markets. It also includes auto repair operations (other than gas stations), facilities used primarily for storage and railroad properties. 5. Institutional/Semi-Public. This category includes churches and social service organizations such as the Salvation Army. 6. Government Use. open spaces and owned land. This category includes all those public facilities publicly provided on publicly 7. Public Ri~ht-of-Wav. -4-

B. EXISTING BUILDING CONDITIONS Field surveys were conducted during the summer and fall of 1980 under the direction of Zuchelli, Hunter & Associates, Inc., to determine the existing building conditions (and land use) in the Northside West area. Exhibit NW-IAP-3 shows the results of this survey relative to the Initial Action Area. This survey was undertaken not for the specific purpose of determining the eligibility of individual structures or land parcels for acquisition; but, rather, as a part of a broader evaluation to measure the quantity and proportion of substandard conditions, economic disuse of vacant parcels, and overall deterioration within the redevelopment area. All structures were visually evaluated from the exterior and placed in one of four categories according to their apparent condition. The first two categories constitute standard condition, and the second two constitute substandard condition. Table 2 presents the summary of building conditions in the Initial Action Area. -5-

10 III. PLAN PROPOSALS A. LAND USE While the Plan is conceived as an integrated and inter-. related composition of public and private uses, it is necessary to subdivide the total development into components. When develop-ed in accordance with the Plan, the components collectively form the Plan as envisioned. For the purposes of this Plan, each component is referred to as a Development Zone, and is assigned a designation letter. Together, the Development Zones, with their associated programmed uses, represent the proposd land use plan for the Area (see Exhibit NW-IAP-4). Disposition properties within each Development Zone are shown on Figures IV-1 through IV-12; Following is a description of the programmed new uses for each of the Development Zones. These programmed uses are included here in order to illustrate the intent of this Plan and to estimate the level of private investment. Zone A. Light Industrial Zone A contains approximately 263,000 square feet of developable land area and is programmed for 120,000 square feet of light manufacturing and associated parking. Zone B. Lower Density Residential Zone B is presently the larges t residential area of Brooklyn. The majority of buildings within this area are substandard and will reauire rehabilitation or removal. It is the intent of the Plan to stabilize and improve the existing neighborhood with minimal displacement of present residents. Housing programs and other improvements to this area will be coordinated to encourage expanded neighborhood commercial opportunities, street and drainage improvements and McCoy's Creek Park improvements. The combination of financial methods to implement these programs could include Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) monies, tax increment, general revenue, private loans and grants, Federal Government grants, SBA loans, etc. The objective of the Plan is to develop housi:l.g programs :i.n anticipation of some relocation within or into Zone B as other parcels are required for acquisition and development. Where new construction or rehabilitation of dwelling units is feasible, a combination of programs will encourage either or both. Mechanisms could include public housing, low interest HUD loans, Section 8-7-

11 Moderate Rehabilitation Loans, Section 8 New Construction, Florida State and/or local City Multifamily Housing Finance Agency Mortgage Loans, and housing programs of incorporated non-profit groups such as the neighborhood-based Cornerstone, Inc. Non-profit organizations exhibiting ability to implement housing programs will be eligible to puchase and acquire property in the area for housing development. Portions of parcels such as individual lots could be available for purchase to such organizations for smaller scale rehabilitation or new construction. Zone B is programqed for 220 new housing units built on selected sites within the zone. These new units will be a combination of townhouses, garden apartments and in-fill single-family houses. Approximately sixty-five (65) existing dwelling units are programmed to remain. Of these, thirty-nine (39) are programmed for improvement and/or rehabilitation. If moved, these units could provide another strategy for minimal displacement to present residents of the area. Priority will also be given displacees for public housing units as they become available. Zone C. Neighborhood Commercial Zone C is programmed for 40,000 square feet of new neighborhood commercial space and associated parking to meet the shopping and convenience needs of the residents in the Area and immediate surroundings. Development is programmed to include 240 surface parking spaces to serve the commercial uses. zone D. General Commercial Zone D is predominantly occupied by existing businesses to remain. This Plan calls for only limited public acquisition. Acquisition in this zone is limited to additional rightsof-way required.for improvements to Price Street and Chelsea Street. It is an.ticipated, however, that some new construction and rehabilitation of existing buildings will take place in the zone. This is estimated at 20,000 square feet of new commercial space and 25,000 square feet of rehabilitated space. Zone E. Moderate-Density Residential Zone E is programmed for 275 residential units in low- to mid-rise construction. Zone F. Hiqh-Density Residential/Commercial Zone F is programmed for new private development totalling 1,850,000 square feet of co~~ercial office space, 1,750 residential units, 40,000 square feet of retail commercial and 5,500 parking spaces in structures. The intent of this Plan is -8-

12 McCoy's Creek Park Riverfront Park.,. > Proposed Open Space Improvements Figure III-1 '

13 to encourage efficient use of the riverfront for high-density residential development and to encourage high-density office and commercial mixed-use development along the Downtown People Mover spine (May Street). Zone G. General Commercial Zone G is programmed for new private development totalling 500,000 square feet of commercial office space plus parking and ancillary retail. B. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS This section briefly describes the public improvements proposed by this P~an. It is anticipated that during the administration of the Plan additional public improvements may be identified which are necessary or desirable in order to properly implement the Plan. Also, detailed study, engineering and design work associated with the Plan or with overall area considerations may alter these proposals. 1. Public Open Space (See Figure III-1) a. McCoy's Creek The plan proposed a public park and recreational area paralleling and incorporating McCoy's Creek from Interstate 95 to Riverside Avenue. It is intended that this park be provided with landscaping, walkways, park furniture and recreational equipment. The park is intended as ~ initial step in a more extensive treatment of the McCoy's Creek corridor extending to the west. This Plan calls for development of approximately 24 acres. b. Riverfront Park The Plan proposes a small public park adjacent to the st. Johns River at the foot of Forest Street. This is well located to serve not only the Project Area residents but also the adjacent communities. The availability of publicly owned land and vacant land to be acquired make this location particularly suitable for public access to the waterfront. Detailed engineering and design studies have not been conducted in conjunction with the preparation of this Plan; however, it is anticipated that the park would include a boat ramp but not fully equipped docking facilities. -9-

14 c. Riverfront Walkway The- Plan proposes a continuous pedestrian walkway along the riverfront from Forest Street to the Acosta Bridge. (The portion crossing the newspaper properties is not included within the limits of this Initial Action Plan and therefore is not inclued herein. It is, however, the intent of the DDA to pursue the continuation of the walkway in cooperation with the property owners.) The Plan proposes that the walkway and adjoining seawalls be constructed by the City in cooperation with existing and future owners and developers. The Plan further proposes that the properties incorporating these improvements remain in private ownership and that continu~d public accessibility be secured by means of a public easement. d. DPM Plazas The Plan proposes two public plazas related to the Downtown People Mover stations anticipated within the Project Area. At the time of preparation of this Plan, design and funding for the DPM system have not been finalized. Consequently, these proposals are contingent upon the implementation of the DPm through the Project Area. e. Magnolia Street The Plan proposes the closing of Nagnolia Street from Price Street to Leila Street, for redevelopment as a pedestrianway and limited service vehicular drive--if necessary for service or parking access. All properties fronting Nagnolia are scheduled for redevelopment. Consequently, the existing rightof-way of Magnolia may be incorporated into the redevelopment of the adjacent block allowing greater flexibility in site consolidation-and project design. f. Forest/Price Park The Plan proposes a small public park (19,000 square feet) in the triangle of land bounded by Forest, Price and Oak. This parcel has limited value for private development and is well located to provide passive public open space and visual relief within the Project ~xea. 2. Street and ROW Improvements (Sec Fi~urc III-2) a. College-Myrtle The Plan proposes the realignment of Myrtle Avenue to align with College Street at the intersection of Forest Street. A new 80-foot right-of-way is proposed through the Project Area -10-

15 from a new bridge crossing McCoy's creek to Forest Street. For the purposes of this Plan, a straight alignment has been shown for this segment. A more detailed design analysis may indicate a variation to this alignment. b. Street Widenings Following is a listing of street widenings proposed under this Plan: PROPOSED STREET WIDENINGS Existing Proposed Side to be Street & Segment ROW Width ROW Width Widened OAK Edison to Forest 40' 60' East PRICE Myrtle to Forest 35' 60 I East ELM Price to Jackson 30' 50' * North CHELSEA Forest to Jackson 30 50' * South OAK Price to Stonewall 30' 50' * South MAY Forest to Leila 35' 50' * North JACKSON Riverside to Elm 35' 60' East LEILA Riverside to Oak 30' 60' East WATER Lee to Jefferson (Varies} 80' Both NOTE: Improvements to Water, Bay, Jefferson, Broad, or May streets associated with the new Acosta Bridge are not included here. *: If restricted by existing or planned structures; otherwise, ROW width to be a minimum of 60' -11-

16 Th~ Brook~yn area contains a predominance of extremely narrow rights-of-way. These rights-of-way, generally ranging from 30 to 35 feet in width, present some difficulty to the proper installation of utility improvements and normal sidewalks and curbs and gutters. On the other hand, wholesale widening to meet current standards would require the demolition of nearly all of ~~e existing residentia~ structures in the area and is clearly not possible. In order to accomplish the desired level of street and utility improvements without devastating the existing housing stock, this Plan proposes three compromises. First, only certain streets would be widened, and these widenings would affect only the one side of the street which is most reasonable for redevelopment. Second, the normal standards for right-of-way width would be reduced in those situations.where standard widths are either excessive or undesirable from an environmental standpoint. Third, on narrow existing streets where there is a predominance of buildings in standard or salvageable condition the street right-of-way width will not be increased if increased right-of-way is unnecessary for adequate vehicular circulation. In such cases, it. is recommended that excessively narrow streets be made one-way. Two streets within the Brooklyn neighborhood have been identified as being of particular significance for pedestrian movement. These are Price Street and Jackson Street. These two streets are the neighborhood's primary linkages southward to the commercial areas of Park and Riverside, the Downtown People Mover (DPM) stations and the river. In recognition of this significance this Plan recommends that these rights-of-way be widened to 60 feet in order to accomodate six-foot sidewalks and four-foot planted buffer strips between the sidewalks and the street paving. The paved street width of 40 feet is recommended to permit two moving lanes of 12 feet each and two on-street parking lanes of 8 feet each. It is recommended that the buffer strips on either side be planted with appropriate trees at regular intervals. c.. Other ROW Improvements For the purpose of conceptual planning and cost analysis, this Plan assumes that proper implementation of the Plan will necessitate new sidewalks, curbs, gutters and asphalt paving for all rights-of-way within the Project Area. This assumption is based on thorough visual observations of existing conditions which, except for portions of Riverside and Park, exhibit deterioration or absence of normal street improvements. In addi tion to this, the extensive underground utility work will require extensive resurfacing. -12-

18 d. Myrtle Street Bridge The Plan calls for a new Myrtle Street Bridge across McCoy's Creek. This bridge is required to be 150 feet long and 60 feet wide. In the detailed design of the bridge, consideration should be given to providing a pedestrian path.beneath the bridge for continuity of the McCoy's Creek park. e. Acosta Bridge The new Acosta Bridge will require improvements within the Project Area. to accommodate the bridge landing and associated connection with Riverside, Water, Broad and Jefferson. At the time of preparation of this Plan the exact alignment of these improvemen.ts has not been finalized. (The most current resolution is shown in Exhibit NW-IAP-6). 3. Public Utilities and Drainage a. Sanitary Sewerage This Plan requires upgrading and rehabilitation of approximately 18,000 linear feet of lateral sewers and 500 linear feet of main (Water Street). b. Storm Sewerage Preliminary analysis prepared in conjunction with the Plan calls for new trunk lines on Myrtle, Forest and Riverside with lateral collectors on adjacent streets. In addition to these, the analysis specifies a new 72-inch outfall along the projection of Forest Street to the river. c. surface Drainage The Plan provides for cleaning, dredging and widening McCoy's Creek from Interstate 95 to the existing outfall near Magnolia Street. This improvement will be accomplished in conjunction with the provision of the McCoy's Creek Park. d. water The existing 16-inch main serving the Brooklyn area has sufficient capacity to supply the proposed development of the area south of McCoy's Creek. Water supply improvements in that area will be rehabilitation and interconnection of existing 6-inch mains. North of McCoy's Creek a new 10-inch main will be installed on Water Street. -13-

19 4. Other Public Improvements a. Downtown People Mover At the time of preparation of this Plan the DPM is programmed to serve the Project Area along the May Street alignment. Two DPM stations are planned within the Area (see Figure III-1) with a third located immediately outside the area adjacent to the Blue Cross Building. This station will be the end of the line until such t~~e as the line is extended. b. Parking In addition to miscellaneous small parking areas as may be associated with public open spaces, the Plan proposes that Parcel 1 in' zone F, bounded by Oak, Edison, Riverside and Forest, be acquired and developed as an interim parking reservoir to serve the DPM which is expected 'to terminate at that location--either permanently or for some interim period of time until it is extended. At such time as the DPM is extended or at such time as a major development is proposed for this site; then the surface parking may be replaced with structured parking in joint development. If the DPM is extended southward, it is assumed.,that no parking reservoir will be required.at this location. In that event, the site would be developed to include only that parking required to serve the on-site uses. It is also the intent of this Plan that DDA may develop parking at selected locations, unidentified at the time of preparation of this Plan, separately or in conjunction with other development, in order to encourage efficient use of the land and to promote private investment consistent with the Plan. C. DEVELOPMENT CONTROLS AND GUIDELINES 1. Land Use Controls This section sets forth the land uses permitted under this Plan for each of the Land Use Zones previously identified (see Exhibit NW-IAP-4, Land Use Zones). These controls are a further refinement of the Reuse Categories used for planning purposes in the adopted Community Redevelopment Plan for the Northside West Community Redevelopment Area. A variety of permitted uses is proposed here for most of the Zones in order that implementation of the Plan not be unduly constrained by use limitations, and in order that the Plan may be integrated into existing zoning regulations. It is the intent of the Plan, however, to encourage and give preference to certain -14-

20 specific uses for each Zone in order. that the area develops in a manner consistent with the overall design intent and objectives of the Plan. These preferred uses are herein referred to as "programmed" uses, previously discussed in Section III. A. of this Plan. a. zone A This Zone is intended for light manufacturing, processing, storage and warehousing, wholesaling and distribu~ tion. Because of its proximity to residential areas, preference will be given to "clean" industrial uses which also have a high ratio of employees. This district is also intended as a buffer between Interstate 95 and the residential area. In that regard, it is the intent of this Plan that such light industrial uses which are located in close proximity with residential uses be subject to special selection and design review procedures by the Authority to ensure their environmental compatibility with that residential uses. Permitted Uses and Structures l) Wholesaling, warehousing, storage or distribution establishments and similar uses; 2) Light manufacturing processing (including food processing, but not slaughterhouse), packaging or fabricating; 3) Printing, lithographing, publishing or similar. establishments; 4) Service establishments catering to commerce and.industry, including linen supply, laundry, dry cleaning plant, communications services, and business machine services. Minimum Lot Requirements (Width and Area) : None. Maximum Lot Coverage by All Buildings: None. Minimum Yard Requirements: None. Maximum Height of Structures: None. b. Zone B This Zone is intended for lower-density residential uses compatible with the existing residential pattern in the Brooklyn neighborhood.

Public Skyway System (DPM), Jitney service or other public transportation services-10% credit. Such parking proposal shall include a thorough analysis of actual building occupancy and shall provide a realistic estimate of parking requirements based on estimated occupants per vehicle, transit ridership percentage, visitor parking requirements, and any other workable program such as car or van po9ling. Off-Street Loading Requirements Off-street loading requirements under this Plan shall be as stipulated in the Jacksonville Zoning Regulations, Section

31 Loading Facilities for Solid Waste Requirements for solid waste loading facilities under this Plan shall be as stipulated in the Jacksonville zoning Regulations, Section 708.6; Other Development Controls and Standards It is the intent of this Plan that DDA may, from time to time, prepare additional development controls and standards which may restrict height, mass, density, parking requirements, building setbacks and land uses for specific properties within the Area. Such development controls may be made binding by the following means: a. In the case of properties acquired by the DDA for disposition to private developers, development controls for the subject property may be made effective by recording them as restrictive covenants in the Office of the Register of Deeds, Duval County, Florida, to which reference will be made in the deed of the property, or by including them in the instruments of conveyance. b. In the case of properties not acquired by the DDA but included within the Project Area, zoning authorization and/or building permits will not be issued for improvements of the subject property by the City until the owner/developer has secured written approval from the DDA verifying that said improvements are in accordance with this Initial Action Plan, as may be amended to include additional development controls and standards. 3. Development Incentives It is the intent of this Plan that the DDA may, from time to time, at its discretion, offer and/or negotiate development incentive arrangements with a private development entity. Such development incentive arrangements may involve modification to the Land Use Controls of this Plan (see Section III.C.l.) as deemed appropriate or necessary to achieve public goals and objectives in accordance with the intent of this Plan. Specifically, such incentive arrangements may be negotiated in order to achieve environmental amenities such as landscaped plazas, publicly accessible works of art, additional public rights-of-way or easements, screening of parking or service areas, and building setback or massing modifications. -26-

32 Any development incentive arrangement as may be negotiated with a private development entity shall be const=ed as relevant to the subject development property only and shall not be const=ed as a matter of right to other development entities. 4. zoning Changes This Plan does not stipulate or define specific zoning categories, either existing or new, for the Zones within this Initial Action Area. For convenience, however, the land use proposals of this Pl~~ incorporate language from the Jacksonville Zoning Regulations and recommend specific changes in, and additions to, that language to adequately control redevelopment of the Area in accordance with the Plan. It is the intent of this Plan that the DDA continue to consult and work with the planning and zoning administrative agencies to clarify and resolve the procedures for accommodating the intent and requirements of this Plan with the Zoning Ordinance and zoning enforcement procedures. D. NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT 1. Relocation Of the 248 existing dwelling units within the Initial Action Area, 183 are proposed for acquisition resulting in family relocation. In accordance with state and federal guidelines, and in accordance with preliminary discussions with neighborhood counsel, provisions for assuring a just and reasonable process of relocation is incorporated in this Plan under Section IV.F. Under the relocation policy of this Plan, fair and equitable treatment will be afforded to each and every individual dislocated from their place of residence as a result of implementation of the.recornrnendations of this Plan. Every effort will be made to relocate families and individuals into suitable accomodations in the Brooklyn Neighborhood if they so prefer. This Plan estimates that a substantial number of dislocated families and individuals will be afforded new opportunities for residency within the area as a result of new residential construction planned within the neighborhood. The provisions of the Plan call for new construction of 220 dwelling units within Zone B on sites either now vacant or newly created by demolition of substandard structures or by reparcelization of land as a result of public improvements. Thus, the Plan will create a net increase of 37 low-density residential units. -27-

33 -''. 2: Traffic Circulation The most significant traffic circulation impact upon the existing Brooklyn neighborhood will be the realignment of Myrtle Avenue to connect with College Street at Forest Street. Whereas Myrtle Avenue now passes through the neighborhood, the Plan calls for the improved Myrtle Avenue to provide the northeasterly edge of the neighborhood. Zone B will have no designated thoroughfares or arterial highways penetrating within its boundaries. The ease of access and egress to and from the Brooklyn neighborhood will remain essentially unchanged as a result of improvements proposed by this Plan. Vehicular circulation within the neighborhood, however, is expected to be improved due to the selective street widenings and provisions for controlled on-street parking. Likewise, new curbs, gutters and sidewalks will provide greater assurance against accidental conflict between pedestrians and vehicles. 3. Environmental Quality Implementation of the Initial Action Plan will have several positive impacts on the residential areas in the project area and surrounding areas as described below: a. Land Use The Plan calls for consolidating residential areas in a manner which eliminates or minimizes the intrusion of incompatible uses into neighborhood environments. The existing Brooklyn residential area is currently beset by many industrial and commercial uses which have t eplaced residential uses in recent years and.which impair the safety, security and environmental quality of the area. A major objective of this Plan is to re-establish the integrity of the Brooklyn neighborhood as well as establish new residential areas of high quality. b. Blighting Conditions Numerous existing residential and commercial structures within the area are dilapidated and neglected. This Plan proposes to selectively remove or rehabilitate these structures. The Plan also addresses other blighting influences such as deteriorated or non-existing public improvements, including public parks, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and street paving. These inade~~acies will be corrected under the Plan. -28-

34 c. Vacant and Underutilized Land The Plan is intended to improve the environmental quality of the area by returning vacant and underutilized land to productive. use. Nearly 29 percent of the existing usable. land in the Initial Action Area is currently vacant or underutilized. The parcels are often untended and neglected resulting in deterioration of the environmental quality and safety of the area. All such vacant and underutilized sites are programmed for new uses which are consistent and compatible with the objectives of the Plan. 4. Community Facilities and Services a. Public Open Space The currently unimproved McCoy's Creek corridor will be expanded and developed as a community recreation area. At the present time the Initial Action Area contains approximately 2.5 acres of usable public open space. The Plan proposes an approximate ten-fold increase, 25 acres, in public open space available to the community. In addition to the McCoy's Creek Park, the Plan proposes a Riverfront Park at the foot of Forest Street. This park will afford public access to the riverfront for all community residents. Other open space and pedestrian improvements proposed by the Plan are discussed in Section III.B. b. School Population Based on guidelines provided by the Board of Education, the existing school-aged population within the Initial Action.Area is 124. Using the same guidelines, implementation of this Plan will generate an additional 1,031 schoolaged children for a total of 1,155. This estimate is based on the number of existing dwelling units to remain and the number of new dwelling units programmed for development. c. Neighborhood Shopping The Initial Action Area currently does not have adequate and convenient community or neighborhood shopping facilities. The Plan calls for the development of a new neighborhood center, of 40,000 square feet, conveniently located and accessible by foot to a substantial number of area residents, both existing and planned. -29-

35 d. Transportation In addition to the existing bus routes on Park Street and Riverside Avenue, the Plan envisions the construction of the Downtown People Mover along the May Street alignment, with. two stations within the Initial Action Area. The maximum walking distance from any residence within the area - will be approximately 1,500 feet, with the vast majority being substantially closer. -30-

48 IV. PROPERTY ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION A. PROPERTY TO BE ACQUIRED As shown on Exhibit NW-IAP-5, Acquisition Plan, properties to be acquired by the city, acting through DDA, fall into two categories. See Appendix C for a listing of private properties to be acquired, including square footage and assessed value. Following is a description of each category: Category A--Privately Held Properties to be Acquired for Public Improvements. Property in this category is required for street improvements, public parking and public open space. Total. land area in this category is approximately 960,000 square.feet, 22.0 acres. Category B--Privately Held Properties to be Acquired for Redevelopment. This category includes all of those properties scheduled for public acquisition for redevelopment in accordance with the Plan. Total land area in this category is approximately 2,085,000 square feet, 47.8 acres. B. PUBLIC PROPERTIES TO BE REDEVELOPED. Exhibit NW-IAP-5 also indicates those publicly held properties which will be incorporated into disposition parcels for redevelopment in accordance with the Plan. These properties include existing public rights-of-way to be abandoned and the JTA maintenance and storage facility at Riverside and Leila. C. PROPERTY FOR DISPOSITION Figures IV-1 through IV-12 show the properties designated for disposition by DDA to private developer entities for redevelopment in accordance with the Plan. While it is intended that development within these parcels shall be accomplished by the private sector, this shall not preclude the city, or other public sector entities, from developing or participating in the development of these disposition parcels. Also, it is intended that DDA may further subdivide these parcels into smaller development components as may be necessary or desirable to further the intent of this Plan. Following is a summary table of property for disposition: -31-

D. ACQUISITION PROCEDURES 1. Prooerties to be Acguired The DDA shall acquire fee simple absolute title to the land in the Project Area identified as "Privately Held Properties to be Acquired... " on the Acquisition Plan map, Exhibit NW IAP-5. The acquisition of both vacant land and improved properties is necessary because of the need of sites for project improvements and public facilities, nonconformance to land use provisions of the Plan, the need of street redesign in the Project Area, and in order to overcome conditions of diverse ownership and lot layouts which prevent the proper development of the property in accordance with the Plan. When possible, parcels will be acquired by negotiation with the present owners. The basis for negotiations will be the fair market value of the property as determined by competent appraisers and approved by the DDA. Where negotiation does not result in a satisfactory agreement, the properties will be acquired by eminent domain proceedings and just compensation will be awarded in accordance with the law. -33-

51 2. Other Acquisition a. The DDA may acquire properties within the Project Area through negotiation and settlement with the owner(s) of the subject property. b. There may be instances in the Project Area where it is found desirable or advantageous for the DDA to acquire less than fee simple title. In such cases, the DDA may enter into leasehold, easement, right-of-way or other such agreements with private property owners. c. The DDA may, at its discretion, acquire properties or portions of properties necessary to facilitate the constructi.onof public improvements as provided in this Plan. This provision is in recognition of the likelihood that some variation of the property acquisition needs designated in this Plan may occur during detailed design and engineering or as a result of amendment to this Plan. Such properties, or portions of properties, shall be subject to acquisition through eminent domain procedures. d. The DDA may acquire a property or portion of a property in order to demolish or rehabilitate a substandard structure. In such case, the owner(s) of the substandard structure and the property upon which it rests must be notified in writing of the intent to acquire and must be further notified in writing of the specific property deficiencies to be corrected. After such notification, the owner shall have a period of nine (9) months in which to make the required corrections. After that period, the property, or portion of property, shall become subject to acquisition through eminent domain procedures, provided that the DDA can demonstrate the feasibility of rehabilitation, reuse. or redevelopment in accordance with the Plan. e. The DDA may acquire any property upon which there exists a use which is non-conforming with the provisions of this Plan if such use or activity is deemed detrimental to the proper execution of the Plan. The DDA may make such acquisition notwithstanding such property's designation as "properties not to be acquired" on Exhibit NW-IAP-5, Acquisition Plan. In such case, the owner(s) of such property must be notified in writing of the intent to acquire and must be further notified in writing of the detrimental non-conformance characteristics, activities or uses conducted on or in relationship -to, such property. After notification, the owner(s) shall have a period of six (6) months to prepare and propose an alternative conforming use for the property; and, if such use is deemed in conformance with the Provisions of this Plan, the owner(s) shall have an additional twelve (12) months to redevelop such property to that alternative conforming use. -34-

52 After that period, the property, or portions of properties, shall become subject to acquisition through eminent domain procedures provided that the DDA can demonstrate that the owner(s) have made no substantial progress in redeveloping the property(s) in accordance with his proposed alternative conforming use as approved and accepted by the DDA. Likewise, if the owner(s) fails to prepare an acceptable alternative conforming use proposal within the designated six-month period after initial notification, such property shall immediately become subject to acquisition under eminent domain procedures. E. PROPERTY DISPOSITION Real property acquired as a result of DDA action under the provisions of this Plan may be sold, leased or otherwise conveyed to a profit or non-profit redeveloper for the purpose of constructing facilities and structures in accordance with the provisions of this Initial Action Plan and their contract(s) with the DDA. All such disposition methods and procedures, including selection of the redeveloper, shall be in conformance with applicable law. The DDA, in disposing of land in the Project Area to be redeveloped, will in its contracts, deeds or other instrqffients with such parties include such terms and conditions as in the judgment of the DDA will be necessary or advisable to ensure the redevelopment of the Project Area.and use thereafter in accordance with this Plan, and to prevent a re-occurrence of conditions of blight in the area. Such provisions will be contained in such contracts, deeds, or other instruments irrespective of whether or not they duplicate in whole or in part the requirements of existing or proposed zqning ordinances or other local laws or regulations with respect to the Project Area, zoning and other laws or regulations. In all instances, housing units will be constructed in accordance with applicable codes and ordinances, and requirements of this Plan, and such other contracts and conditions which may be set forth between the DDA and the redevelopers. Such contracts, deeds and other instruments, in addition to including other terms and conditions as the DDA may find desirable in order to implement and effectuate the objectives of this Plan, will obligate the purchasers of property in the project area and their successors in interest to the following: a. Devote the parcels owned by them to, and only t~ the uses specified in the Plan. -35-

53 b. Diligently prosecute the construction of improvements agreed upon in the disposition contract and begin and complete such improvements within a reasonable length of time as determined in the contract. (This obligation, however, will not be made applicable to mortgagees and their successors in interest.) c. Make no changes in such improvements after completion of the construction that are not in conformity with this Plan. d. Not to assign contract rights, or to resell or otherwise transfer the land (or interest therein) purchased by them, prior to the completion of the improvements thereof without the approval of the DDA and except on a basis satisfactory to the DDA and not to speculate in or with respect to such land. e. Not to effectuate or execute any agreement, lease conveyance, or other instrument, whereby any parcels in the Project Area owned by them are restricted upon the basis of race, religion, age, sex, color or national origin in the sale, lease or occupancy thereof. (This obligation is to be effective without limitation as to the time, regardless of any termination date provided with respect to any other provisions in the Plan.) The DDA shall be a beneficiary of all such covenants and obligations and it (in addition to other appropriate public agencies) shall be entitled to represent the interest and to act on behalf of the DDA and community in enforcing such and any other covenants and obligations as to the redevelopment and continued uses of the Project Area in accordance with this Plan. The DDA shall provide, upon proper completion of the improvements in the Project Area, a certificate of compliance which will be available for recording and will represent a determination that the covenants, with respect to the construction of the improvements, have been complied with and that their existence is terminated. Prior to disposal of property within the Project Area, the DDA shall reserve the right to review and approve or reject a prospective redeveloper's propsa1. The plan proposal should include the following features: Location of all principal buildings and accessory buildings. Location and arrangement of automobile parking. Location of all vehicular drives and entrances and exits to public streets. -36-

54 Existing and proposed landscaping. Location of pedestrian walkways and sidewalks. Location of all other site features, such as drainage systems, fenc~s, general landscaping features, and easements. Building data to include: elevations., floor plans, building floor area, and sections and/or perspective drawings as necessary to describe proposed improvements. The DDA shall then consider the development proposal in light of both compliance with regulations and requirements of this Plan and the appropriateness of the proposal in question. A positive finding by the DDA shall constitute preliminary approval. Prior to beginning construction on the property, the redeveloper shall then submit final plans to the DDA for approval. These plans shall receive final approval if they are deemed to be in substantial compliance with and have no significant variation from the plans given preliminary approval. This final approval shall be in addition to approvals and permits from other public agencies. F. RELOCATION Under the terms of applicable state and federal law, the DDA will provide relocation assistance to families,.individuals and businesses who are displaced from the Project Area through public action. The Jacksonville Downtown Development Authority will coordinate with the Jacksonville Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in relocation efforts. HUD has, in compliance with state and federal law, a feasible method for the relocation of families and individuals to be displaced from the Project Area. There are areas as desirable in regard to public utilities and public commercial facilities, at rents or prices within the financial means of the families or individuals displaced. Such safe, sanitary dwelling units will be made available to these displacees and will be reasonably accessible to their places of employment. Every family and individual displaced by the project who -is eligible for admission will, in accordance with federal and state regulations, be given priority in vacancies or turnover in existing or new housing. All possible relocation service will be extended to single persons and to nonresidential establishrnen~s displaced by the Project action. HUD considers a dwelling unit -37-

55 to be "standard hous ing" and. to be decent, safe and sanitary when: it is in compliance with the city's building, housing, fire, and sanitary codes; it is in good repair and is weather-tight, with no leakage or dampness; it has no health, fire, nor safety hazards within the structure or in the immediate vicinity; it has. safe running water, a private flush toilet, and a bathroom with tub or shower with hot and cold running water, all within the dwelling unit; it has permanent, reasonably efficient kitchen facilities, including sink, cooking stove connections, shelves and storage space for food and utensils; it has facilities for washing and drying clothes; it is large enough to accommodate the family without overcrowding; it is equipped with adequate heating equipment, or has fuel connections for adequate heating equipment, is adequately ventilated by at least one openable window in every room and is screened, or has screens available; it is safely and adequately wired for electricity; and it is located in a neighborhood which is free from nuisances, is supplied with the community facilities of a standard neighborhood, and is reasonabl~ access-. ible to transportation, schools, churches and stores. It is intended that all dwellings into which project area displacees relocate will be inspected by the HUD's relocation staff. If the dwellings are not found to be decent, safe, and sanitary, the move will be considered as temporary relocation only; and HUD will offer such families an opportunity to move into suitable standard housing. Every effort will be made to trace any family or individual who moves without notifying HUD. If the family or individual has moved into substandard housing, HUD will offer them an opportunity to relocate into standard housing. Temporary relocation will be carried out where necessary in dwellings acquired in the Project Area and managed by HUD or in other available dwellings within the city_. Any dwellings used for temporary accommodations will be maintained in a minimum habitable condition, wind- and weather-tight. No family will be required to move from a home in the Project Area unless they have an opportunity to obtain suitable standard housing. As property is acquired, the occupants will be advised in writing and by personal interview in regard to their relocation, and information will be furnished as to suitable accommodations available. A file will be maintained by HUD listing available dwellings evaluated through inspection by relocation staff. The relocation method is intended to remove any necessity to resort to eviction proceedings, which would be a last resort if a f~~ily or individual completely.fails to cooperate with HUD, or without reason rejects relocation service or available accommodations, or maintains a nuisance, or fails to recognize its obligation for rent due. It is contemplated that relocation will -38-

56 follow acquisition in an orderly manner, giving families or individuals sufficient time to choose a new home and prepare to relocate and that acquired property will not be operated and managed longer than necessary except for unforeseen circumstances. In the opinion of HUD the relocation of all site occupants of the Project Area in accordance with state and federal relocation requirements will be feasible. Preliminary surveys indicate that the property acquisition undertaken in accordance with this Plan will dislocate 235 households and 66 businesses. These figures are subject to revision resulting from further surveys and interviews pursuant to the administration of the Plan. In addition to the above assurances, further clarification of relocation policy purpose and goals are included here: Purpose To ensure that fair and equitable treatment is afforded to displaced persons from their homes and businesses as a result of public agency acquisition. It is the policy of the agency that persons displaced as a result of redevelopment projects shall be provided with benefits and services which will ensure that they are not unduly inconvenienced by their relocation. Goals 1. Relocation Within Brooklyn Area The Jacksonville Downtown Development Authority will, whenever possible, provide relocation housing within the Brooklyn Community to any individual or family who desires to remain in the neighborhood. The McCoy's Creek area north of Park Street (Zone B) will be retained as low-density residential. 2. Premature Dislocation Relocation of families, individuals or businesses will not occur unless redevelopment of a site is L~inent. It is not DDA's intention to dislocate families and businesses, clear land and landbank or allow redevelopment sites to remain vacant and undeveloped for extended periods of time. 3. Adequate RePlacement Housinq Adequate replacement housing will be provided to any person relocated temporarily or permanently fro~ the community redevelopment area. As property is acquired, occupants will ' -39-

57 be advised by personal interview. Written notice to vacate will also be given by the public agency or property owner so that adequate time is allowed for relocation arrangements. Under no circumstances will any individual or family be relocated until an adequate replacement dwelling is available. 4. Coordination of Relocation Resources Housing counseling services, referrals to other agencies including social services counseling, coordination with City HUD's housing resources and church-related housing programs will maximize DDA's efforts to prevent hardship on those relocated. A diagnostic inventory of residents will be done when development starts in order to determine family needs, eligibility for relocation benefits, etc. 5. Relocation of Businesses The DDA intends to purchase the land and improvements to the property. Negotiated acquisition costs will include all relocation and incidental costs. Through staff resources and help from other agencies, the DDA will assist a business in finding other available sites. It will be the business's responsibility to physically relocate themselves. -40-

58 V. DEVELOP~lliNT COSTS AND ~THODS OF FINANCING This section iteffiizes the estimated costs for public and private implementation of the provision of this Plan. Further, this section outlines the proposed method of financing public sector costs. A. ESTIMATED DEVELOP~NT COSTS--PRIVATE The following Table 4 provides a summa:j;y of the costs of all development programmed for the Disposition Parcels (see Figures IV-1 through IV-12). For purposes of this analysis, all of these costs are categorized as private; however, it is anticipated and permitted under this Plan that selected cost items may be.borne by the public sector as required to implement the Plan and as is permissible under Part III, Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. As illustrated by the table, total private development costs, excluding land costs, are expected to exceed $470 million.

61 C. ESTIMATED ACQUISITION, RELOCATION AND CLEARANCE COSTS This section summarizes the anticipated public costs for real property acquisition, relocation assistance and building demolition within the areas designated "Privately Held Properties to be Acquired for Public Irnprove.uents" and "Privately Held Properties to be Acquired for Redevelopment" in Exhibit NW-IAP-5, Acquisition Plan. l. Acquisition Costs The estimated property acquisition costs are based on the current assessed value recorded by the City of Jacksonville. The intent of t~e city is that these assessed values accurately reflect the fair market values. The figures presented here are subject to change by negotiation based on appraisals to be conducted by the city as a part of the acquisition procedures under this Plan. The total calculated acquisition costs is $6,768,289 See Appendix C for an itemization by specific property. TABLE 6 ACQUISITION COSTS PROPERTIES TO BE ACQUIRED Land and Improvements 10% Contingency Subtotal Appraisals (Estimated) $6,112, ,208 $6,723,289 $ 45,000 Total $6,768,289 Source: zuchelli, Hunter & Associates, Inc. 2. Relocation Costs Preliminary analysis of the potential cost of relocation assistance, conducted in accordance with applicable federal and state law, indicates that the total relocation cost will be approximately $1,985,000. In preparing this estimate, reasonable assumptions were made regarding households per dwelling unit, percentage of horne ownership, and businesses requiring relocation expense above normal allowances. During the administration of the Plan, detailed cost estimates will be prepared on a project-by-project basis. -44-

63 / 4. - Sumary of Public Costs The following Table 8 summarizes the programmed public expenditure required to implement the Plan. This summary does not include administrative or other operational costs incurred by the DDA or any other city agency. Nor does it include costs for consultant services as may be required. This analysis includes only those costs which are specifically designated as public activities and improvements.under the Plan. This Plan anticipates that public monies, primarily those made available through the tax-increment financing capacity of the redevelopment area, will be used, at the discretion of the DDA, to further the objectives of the Plan, including the use of funds for additional public improvements, land write-down if required for project feasibility, the construction of structured parking, and other uses consistent with Part III, Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. This Plan document does not prescribe in detail the additional use of tax increment monies relative to specific projects. However, it is anticipated that additional public monies, above and beyond those monies shown in Table 8, will be necessary to bring about the conditions of feasibility for several of the developments herein described for private development. TABLE 8 SUMMARY OF PUBLIC COSTS Land Acquisition $ 6,768,289 Relocation 1,985,000 Demolition 772,525 Public Improvements 19,240,132 Total $28,765,946 Source: Zuchelli, Hunter & Associates, Inc. D. METHODS OF FINANCING The primary method of funding for public improvements and any other public financial actions made in assistance to private development in accordance with this Plan will be through the proceeds of tax increment bonds issued by the DDA in accordance with Part III, Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, and City of Jacksonville Ordinance

64 In this regard, it is expressly understood that tax increment bond proceeds financed by the incremental tax from new development outside of the Initial Action Area but within the adopted Northside West Community Redevelopment Area may be used by DDA and the city to fund public actions within this Initial Action Area. Likewise, it is expressly understood that incremental tax bond proceeds from development within the Initial Action Area may be used to finance public actions anywhere within the Northside West Community Redevelopment Area provided such expenditures are specifically approved by the Jacksonville City council. Also, the DDA, upon authorization by the City Council, may sell bond anticipation notes based upon the future tax increment bonding capacity of committed projects within the Northside West Community Redevelopment Area. Proceeds from such notes may be used by DDA for any expenditures under the provisions of this Plan or for any other authorized expenditure within the Northside West Community Redevelopment Area. In addition to tax increment based funding, monies from any other federal, state, county or city source may be used to finance activities conducted in accordance with this Plan. This Plan presently anticipates such funding for the proposed Acosta Bridge improvements, the Downtown People Mover, and public administrative costs relative to this Plan. Such funding is not, however, limited to these activities. -47-
