3 Mayport Village Project Overview Project Goals Establish a Community Redevelopment Area Reinvest the added tax base within the community and fund improvements Maintain the brand, past character, history, and charm of a fishing village Image Source:

4 Mayport Village CRA 101 Finding of Necessity (Sec , F.S.) Public role in creating a redevelopment area focuses on: o Removing slum & blight conditions o Fostering opportunities for future job creation & commercial development o Generating positive impacts on existing businesses & surrounding residential areas Data and analysis are key to documenting blighted conditions Authorizes creation of a Community Redevelopment Agency, Plans and Related Activities : o General neighborhood redevelopment plan or community-wide plan o Acquisition & disposal of real property o Development of affordable housing o Creation of innovative community policing

5 Mayport Village CRA 101 Two or more of these conditions must be documented: Defective or inadequate street layout, parking facilities, roadways, bridges, etc. Assessed values fail to appreciate over 5 years Faulty lot layout (size, adequacy, accessibility, usefulness) Government-owned property with adverse environmental conditions Deterioration of site/area High density of population compared to surrounding areas/municipality Falling commercial lease rates Tax delinquency Unsanitary or unsafe conditions Fire & emergency medical service calls Building Code violations Unusual title conditions High commercial & residential vacancy rates Incidence of crime higher than municipality (Source: Sec , F.S.)

6 CRA 101 Tax Increment Financing (TIF) The difference between the base year (2015) and future assessed value The increment may be used to fund capital improvements and programs within the CRA boundary area

7 CRA 101 Community Redevelopment Plan (Sec , F.S.) Identifies projects and programs to be funded by tax increment financing Projected costs of redevelopment and public projects Schedule of capital projects financed by increment revenues Neighborhood impact statement Housing policies

8 Why weren t the previous plans implemented? 2011 Plan The proposed boundary from the 2014 Finding of Necessity did not include sufficient area to generate appreciable tax increment financing potential

9 Community Outreach & Stakeholder Involvement Community Advisory Committee (CAC) & Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Stakeholder Interviews Three Public Workshops Social Media Campaign

A1A Objective All land development applications within the CHHA shall be reviewed by the Planning and Development Department, Emergency Preparedness Division and Public Works Department for verification of consistency with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

28 NEFRPC Projected Sea Level Rise There is not a direct comparison to Storm Surge Zones and Sea Level Rise, however, the 1 foot sea level rise in Mayport Village does closely mimic the Category 1 Storm Surge zone. Data from the Northeast Florida Regional Planning Council indicates potential sea level rise of 1 to 3 of rise by 2060, and 3 to 6 of rise by Source: Northeast Florida Regional Council Summary and Regional Action Plan: A Report of the Emergency Preparedness Committee on Sea Level Rise (November 2013)
