It is bounded by the municipalities of Boynton Beach and Gulfstream to the north, by the municipalities of Boca Raton and Highland Beach to the south and by unincorporated Palm Beach County to the west. At the present time, the City is approximately 85% built-out in terms of population. Under current growth trends, it can be expected to be totally built-out by the year 2000. Given its limited potential for futura population growth, the City has begun to focus its attention on the revitalization and rehabilitation of areas which ara in a state of decline or deterioration. These areas have been incorporated within the defined geographic boundaries of the "City of Delray Beach Community Redeve/opme~ AJ'ea". This area, which encompasses the older central core of the city, is depicted graphically in Figure 1 and by a description of its boundaries in Appendix "A". Since it contains a significant amount of vacant under-developed or deteriorating residential and commercial property, it is within this area that there can be a continuing increase in population growth and an establishment of commercial ventures. The Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, (CRA) was established in 1985 to guide the City in its redevelopment efforts. The purpose of the Agency is to revitalize the physical environment and the economy of the Community Redevelopment Area. The impetus to create the Community Redevelopment Agency grew out of the work of the Atlantic Avenue Task Force which was commenced in 1984. The objective of the Task Force was to study the Atlantic Avenue Corridor and make recommendations for an overall plan for improvement. Its work was completed in 1985 when it presented its report to the City Commission. That report recommended the establishment of a Community Redevelopment Area as means to fund needed improvements through the use of "Tax Increment Financing (TIF)". After its creation in 1985, the Community Redevelopment Agency commissioned the preparation of its first plan under contract with the firm of Wallace, Roberts & Todd, Inc. The resulting plan document, "The City of Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Plan", was adopted by the City Commission on September 9, 1986 by Resolution No. 49-86 and later adopted as an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan on July 12, 1988 by Ordinance No. 57-88. In 1989, it became apparent that due to changing conditions and the Agency's desire to undertake a host of new programs not anticipated in the odginal document, it was necessary to undertake a Plan revision. In late 1990, it was decided to put most of the Community Redevelopment Agency's new project activity on hold and to completely redo the document. Hence, the creation of this Plan Document. This document, "The City of Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Plan", provides the framework for programming redevelopment activities within the CRA. Since it is not possible or practical for the Community Redevelopment Agency to fund and implement all redevelopment projects within the community, the plan sets forth a series of implementation steps and specific projects intended to leverage or stimulate the type of public interest and pdvate investment necessary to achieve the revitalization. The Plan was originally developed by the City's Planning Department with funding by the Community Redevelopment Agency for a staff planner. Subsequent amendments to the Plan have been made by staff at the Community Redevelopment Agency. The CRA Board provides policy, direction and workshop review for the evolving document. The current version of the Plan was formally adopted by the City Commission via Ordinance No. 48-95 on September 5, 1995. Part One: Background PART ONE:BACKGROUND I. Authority To Undertake Community Redevelopment This document has been prepared under the direction of the City of Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency in accordance with the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969, F.S. 163, Part IlL In recognition of the need to prevent and eliminate slum and blighted conditions within the community, the Community Redevelopment Act confers upon counties and municipalities the authority and powers to carry out 'Community Redevelopment'. For the purposes of this Community Redevelopment Plan, the following definition, taken from the Florida Statutes, shall apply: "Community Redevelopment" or "Redevelopment" means undertakings, activities, or projects of a county, municipality, or community redevelopment agency in a community redevelopment area for the elimination and prevention of the development or spread of slums and blight or for the provision of affordable housing, whether for rent or for sale, to residents of Iow or moderate income, including the elderly, and may include slum clearance and redevelopment in a community redevelopment area, or rehabilitation or conservation in a community redevelopment area, or any combination or part thereof, in accordance with a community redevelopment plan and may include the preparation of such a plan." The ability of a county or municipality to utilize the authority granted under the Act is predicated upon the adoption of a "Finding of Necessity" by the governing body. This finding must demonstrate that: (1) One or more slum or blighted areas, or one or more areas in which there is a shortage of housing affordable to residents of Iow or moderate income, including the elderly, exist in the county or municipality; and, (2) The rehabilitation, conservation, or redevelopment, or a combination thereof, of such area or areas is necessary in the interest of the public health, safety, morals, or welfare of the residents of the county or municipality. II. Creation of the Community Redevelopment Agency Upon a "Finding of Necessity" by the governing body and upon further finding that there is a need for a Community Redevelopment Agency to function in the county or municipality to carry out community redevelopment purposes, any county or municipality may create a public body corporate and politic to be known as a "Community Redevelopment Agency". The Agency shall be constituted as a public instrumentality, and the exercise by the Agency of the powers conferred by F.S. Chapter 163, Part III. shall be deemed and held to be the performance of an essential public function. The City of Delray Beach City Commission established the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency on June 18, 1985, with the adoption of Ordinance No. 46-85. The organizational structure of the agency was also established at that time. It consists of a board of seven members appointed by the City Commission. The term of office of the board members is four years. A vacancy occurring during a term is filled for the unexpired term. The provisions of Ordinance No. 46-85 have been codified in Article 8.1 of the City's Land Development Regulations. III. Powers of the Community Redevelopment Agency As authorized by the Community Redevelopment Act, a wide variety of powers are available to the City of Delray Beach to carry out redevelopment activities. While most of these powers may be delegated 1.1 to a Community Redevelopment Agency, others may not. These powers, which continue to vest in the City Commission, are as follows: o The Power to determine an area to be a slum or blighted area and to designate such an area as appropriate for community redevelopment. . o The power to grant final approval to community redevelopment plans and modifications thereof. o Prior to the approval of the community redevelopment plan or approval of any modifications of the plan, the power to approve the acquisition, demolition, removal or disposal of property and the power to assume the responsibility to bear loss. o The power to authorize the issuance of revenue bonds The powers which the City Commission has chosen to delegate to the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency under City Ordinance No. 46-85 include the following: o The power to acquire property deemed necessary for community redevelopment, except that the use of eminent domain shall require specific approval from the City , Commission. o The power to hold, improve, clear, or prepare any acquired property for redevelopment. o The power to dispose of property acquired within the community redevelopment area for uses in accordance with the Plan. o The power to construct improvements necessary to carry out community redevelopment objectives. o The power to carry out programs of repair and rehabilitation. o The power to plan for and assist in the relocation of persons and businesses displaced by redevelopment activities. o The power to receive and utilize tax increment revenues to fund redevelopment activities. In 1992, the City Commission adopted City Ordinance #17-92, which delegated the following power to the CRA: o The power to appropriate such funds and make such expenditures as are -- necessary to carry out the purposes of the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969. Other powers authorized by the Act but which the City Commission has elected not to delegate to the Agency are: o The power to zone or rezone any part of the city or make exceptions from building regulations; and to enter into agreements with a housing authority, 1.2 which agreements may extend over any period. o The power to close, vacate, plan, or replan streets, roads, sidewalks, ways or other places and to plan or replan any part of the city. IV. The Community Redevelopment Area Pursuant to State Statutes, a community redevelopment area must be a slum area, a blighted area or an area in which there is a shortage of housing that is affordable to residents of Iow or moderate income, including the elderly. The City of Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Area generally consists of the older central core of the city which has become deteriorated due to a age, obsolescence and the lack of investment. Unfortunately, a deteriorating area is self propagating, and as conditions worsen, residents and private businesses become lass willing to put financial resources into the area. It is this cycle which severely limits the ability of private enterprise to stop the spread of slum and blight without public assistance. A "Finding of Necessity' for the initial 1,812 acre Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Area was adopted by City Commission Resolution No. 32-85 on May 14, 1985. A 'Finding of Necessity" for an additional 103 acres, located along North Federal Highway, was adopted by City Commission Resolution No. 47-87 on November 24, 1987 and the Community Redevelopment Area was thus increased to its current size. It should be noted; however, that the Community Redevelopment Plan was not amended at that time to include the additional area. This situation has now been rectified with the adoption of this updated "community Redevelopment Plan". The overall boundaries of the Community Redevelopment Area are shown graphically in Figure 1 and by legal description in Appendix 'A'. A copy of each "Finding of Necessity" is found in Appendix "B". V. The Community Redevelopment Plan All public redevelopment activities expressly authorized by the Community Redevelopment Act and funded by tax increment financing must be in accordance with a redevelopment plan which has been approved by the City Commission. Like the City's Comprehensive Plan, the Community Redevelopment Plan is an evolving document which must be evaluated and amended on a regular basis in order to accurately reflect changing conditions and community objectives. 1.3 LAKE IDA ----/ _ COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FIGURE I -- CO~ ~~ENT Part Two: Existing Conditions PART TWO: EXISTING CONDITIONS I. General Description of the Community Redevelopment Area A. Existing Land Use Existing land uses in the Community Redevelopment Area follow patterns of historical development activity, and the requirements of existing and past zoning districts. There are approximately 1,915 acres of land within the Community Redevelopment Area. A generalized pattern of existing land use is depicted in Figure 2. Overall, the single largest land use within the CRA is residential. Although there are duplexes and higher density multi-family developments located within the redevelopment area, the majority of the residential development is comprised of single-family detached dwellings. Commercial uses within the redevelopment area are generally clustered around the Atlantic Avenue and Federal Highway Corridors, with a focus on where these two major roadways meet in forming the core of the Central Business District (CBD). Retail activities are concentrated primarily along Atlantic Avenue and N.E. 2nd Avenue, while general business and other commercial uses extend north and south along and adjacent to the Federal Highway and FEC Railroad corridors. The main comparison retail shopping district extends along Atlantic Avenue between the FEC Railroad and the Atlantic Ocean. N.E. 2nd Avenue by contrast, contai.ns a concentration of retail services, including a community shopping center with a major food store. A wide variety of other commercial uses also exist in the redevelopment area, including offices, restaurants, building supply, etc. Auto related uses including new and used car dealers, and service shops are located within the CRA along the Federal Highway corridor in response to the accessibility afforded by this major arterial. Light industrial uses can be found scattered throughout the CRA. Although these uses have been accommodated within the CBD zoning district regulations to a limited extent, many of the industrial and repair uses within the CRA are currently non-conforming within existing zoning designations. One small area in the southwest corner of the CRA is zoned for light industrial uses; however, development potential is limited since it is located within a wellfield protection zone. Due to the proximity of the railroad and its obvious negative impacts on Iow intensity development {e.g. noise, & vibration), adjacent properties developed primarily into a heavy commercial/light industrial land use pattern. Prior to the adoption of the Land Development Regulations (LDR'S) in October 1990, special provisions were incorporated into the zoning code to permit specific land uses in addition to those ordinarily allowed within the respective zoning districts. This was done so the higher intensity existing land uses centered around the railroad corridor would remain conforming with respect to zoning. While these same provisions were continued in the City's new Land Development Regulations, the City formed the CBD Industrial Area Committee in 1994 to evaluate the problem and recommend a solution. Data was collected for the area including land use, building areas, existing parking, and employment. Based upon the data and upon the characteristics of the area, the committee developed a new zoning district, entitled Central Business District-Railroad Corridor (CDB-RC). This new district, established in 1995, more accurately defines the boundaries of the area, expands the list of permitted uses and includes several special regulations dealing with overhead garage doors and outside storage. Institutional and Recreational land uses are located throughout the residential neighborhoods of the CRA. These uses include four public schools, many churches, City Hall, the Public Safety (Police) Complex, the South County Courthouse, the City Community~ennis Center, and several public parks. 2.1 GULFSTREAM - P / - [~ ..... : -~./J I I I I i I ::F--:: ~.~ .

Although there is a considerable amount of developable vacant land within the Community Redevelopment Area, the vast majority of this land is in individual building lots located within existing residential neighborhoods. B. Existing Housing and Population The 1990 Census of Population and Housing indicates the Redevelopment Area contains approximately 5,994 housing units, with a resident population of approximately 13,902. A breakdown of total housing units and population by geographic sub-area is provided in Table 2-2, Part Two, Section III. of this Plan. The overall racial composition of the Community redevelopment Area is 31.5% white, 66% black and 1.5% other. It should be noted; however, that there is considerable variation in these percentages within different neighborhoods of the Community Redevelopment Area. C, Existing Traffic Circulation Overall, the street system within the RedevelopmentArea can be summarized as a symmetrical grid. The local streets define a system of rectangularly shaped blocks with the longer block dimension oriented to the north and south. Major north/south arterial roadways include SR A-1 -A, US 1, and 1-95. SR A-1 -A is presently 2 lanes along its entire length with turn lanes at selected points. US 1 has separate 3 lane one way corridors for northbound and southbound travel. On-street parallel parking is provided adjacent to the outside edge of each corridor. 1-95 is a 6 lane expressway forming the western boundary of Redevelopment Area. The interchange of 1-95 with Atlantic Avenue establishes this location as the western entrance to the downtown area. Atlantic Avenue is one of two principal east/west arterial in Delray Beach. The western portion of this roadway is presently built as a 4 lane facility with on-street parallel parking. Traffic signals occur at every other block along this section. Within the downtown business district, the roadway narrows to a 2 lane design and virtually every intersecting roadway is signalized. Parallel parking is provided throughout much of this area. East of the Intracoastal Waterway, Atlantic Avenue widens to a 4 lane undivided design with parallel parking. The Community Redevelopment Area's traffic circulation system also includes several collector facilities including Swinton Avenue, West Fifth and Eighth Avenues, East Second Avenue, and both North and South First Streets. Additionally, NE. and SE 1st Street, between Swinton Avenue and US 1, operate as a downtown bypass system taking some of the traffic congestion off of Atlantic Avenue. D. Downtown Parking While on-street parking has historically and symbolically served downtown Delray Beach well, off- street parking lots have been constructed to serve the additional parking needs of shoppers and employees in this area. A total of 4,388 parking spaces was noted in a 1989 study of the 25 block downtown Atlantic Avenue core. Of this number, 3,424 were private off-street spaces. Of the 964 public spaces, 559 were located in off-street lots. II. General Housing Conditions In August, 1988, the City conducted a visual survey of its current housing stock as part of its comprehensive planning program. Although 94% of the total housing units within the city were rated in good condition, the majority of poor quality units were found to be located within the City's redevelopment area. Within this area, 19.5% of the units were rated fair and 20.2% were rated poor. Clearly, this area represents 2.3 the major trouble spot in the City for housing deterioration, especially since it also contains most of the City's oldest units and residents with the lowest income levels The Housing Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan identified residential neighborhoods within the City and categorized them as to needs for stabilization, revitalization, rehabilitation and redevelopment. It is important to note that while more than 1,300 acres within the CRA were categorized, only 6.5 percent was classified as "stable", The neighborhood categorizations are shown graphically in Figure 3, and the percentage allocation for each category is provided in the following Table. Community Redevelopment Area --- Neighborhood Categorizations 632 Acres - 48.2% Acres- 3.0% 85 Acres - 6.5% 315 Acres - 24.0% 240 Acres - 18.3% Legend [] Stable · StabilizaUon ~ Stabilization/Revitalization [] Revitalization/Rehabilitation [] Redevelopment Table 2-1: Neighborhood Categorization The City stepped up its code enforcement program in late 1985. By 1992, more than 380 structures within the City were identified as unsafe. Of this number, over one-half were demolished. The majority of this code enforcement activity was within the Community Redevelopment Area. Additionally, this area of the city is a "target area" for the City's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program which began in 1985. Under this Program, the City's Community Development Department is responsible for the rehabilitation of 122 owner-occupied housing units through FY 1993/1994. It is a major objective of the City to eliminate all substandard housing conditions within its jurisdiction. To accomplish this objective, the City and the CRA must work together to develop programs aimed at maximizing the impact of public expenditures to leverage private investment in the area. 2.4 ~ Figure 3: Neighborhood Categorization OOYNTON 13EACH r'".

III. Geographic Sub-Areas Within the Community Redevelopment Area, there are considerable variations in the degree of deterioration, land use patterns and existing socioeconomic conditions. In order to develop an effective plan which is cognizant of these variations, the CRA has been divided into eight distinct geographic sub-areas, each requiring a different redevelopment strategy. In addition to addressing underlying problems and capitalizing on area opportunities, associated redevelopment strategies focus on maintaining and enhancing major assets which provide positive contributions to the redevelopment effort. Physical features, (e.g landmarks, barriers, activity centers, etc.), within each sub-area are also considered, since they have a significant influence upon specific urban design decisions which may impact overall redevelopment strategy. Another significant factor in the development of effective sub-area redevelopment strategies is the participation of community members. The success or failure of stabilization and redevelopment efforts is dependent upon the level of public support. Additionally, given the limited resources available for redevelopment, coordination between public and private efforts is essential to maximize efficiency and avoid duplication. The eight geographic sub-areas, are shown graphically in Figure 4, and major characteristics are given in the follgwing table. #1 "The Downtown* 272 1,254 1,404 Commercial CE, D, CF, RM, CBD- RC 82 "Govl/Cultural" 109 225 513 Off'me/Governmental CF, GC, OSSHAD #3 "W.

Each description provides an overview of existing conditions, including a list of major physical features and key agencies/special interest groups operating within the sub-area. A. Sub-Area #1: "The Downtown" This sub-area, containing approximately 272 acres of land, consists of the city's central business district (CBD) and several fringe residential areas. The area, while primarily commercial in nature, contains ' ~ / .~.~ LAKE / / / ' r. "' ~ , ~OMMUNITY REDEVElOPMeNT P~AN FIGURE 4 ~E C~ ~ ~AY BE~ ~~ENT 2.7 a mix of residential, commercial and light industrial land uses. Although existing land uses are generally varied throughout, the area is subdivided in its focus by the Intracoastal Waterway. The area east of the Intracoastal consists of several condominiums, resort hotels and businesses which focus on tourist activity and the beach. The area west of the intracoastal consists of the older retail core of the city centered on Atlantic Avenue and most of the Pineapple Grove Neighborhood. With the exception of a few mid-rise buildings, including the Holiday Inn on Ocean Boulevard, the office tower in Atlantic Plaza, the Colony Hotel and several condominiums, most of the buildings within the area are one or two stories in height. The tight massing of structures, particularly along Atlantic Avenue, Ocean Boulevard and sections of Pineapple Grove Way, creates a solid continuous facade of buildings typically associated with older downtown areas. The architectural styles are diverse, reflecting a downtown that evolved over decades. The wide mix of businesses further reflects this diversity. From drug stores to designer wear, souvenir shops, furniture stores and water-view restaurants, the downtown area reflects a wide cultural diversity of interests. The overall scale of the area is that of a small to a medium sized downtown. The "Village by the Sea" character of the downtown area presents a strong sense of place to residents and visitors. As one of the few downtowns in South Florida to have retained its commercial focus, this area continues to serve as a true community center. Renewal and redevelopment have been an on-going activity in the downtown area for a number of years. Minor renovations and rehabilitation continue to occur frequently. The "Atlantic Plaza" project, completed in 1985, involved one full block of redevelopment and was the last large development project in the downtown core area. The Atlantic Avenue Beautification project, completed on 8 blocks west of the Intracoastal, was a major commitment by the City, CRA and DDA to maintain and enhance the downtown as a viable and healthy area in an effort to attract additional infill development and redevelopment. Coordinated hardscape elements, such as lighting, benches and trash receptacles; specially paved widened sidewalks and street crosswalks and the street tree and landscape program make this stretch of Atlantic Avenue one of the most attractive downtown pedestrian corridors in the County. As part of the City's "Decade of Excellence" bond, a similar beautification effort was completed between Swinton Avenue and 1-95 in 1992 and is now scheduled for continuation between the Intracoastal Waterway and A-1-A. As with most true historic downtowns, street parking played the most important early role in providing convenient customer access. When the Atlantic Avenue streetscape improvements were planned, the critical importance of street parking was understood, and the parking was retained to the greatest extent possible. The designation of the one-way pairs downtown by-passes of N.E. and S.E. 1st Streets is an attempt to accommodate through-traffic around the retail core, while preserving the parking on, and the character of, Atlantic Avenue.

Sub-Area 82: "Governmental & Cultural Center" This sub-area, containing approximately 109 acres of land, consists of the Old School Square Historic Arts District, the South County Courthouse, the city's administration complex and other city facilities including police headquarters and the municipal tennis center. Existing land uses include a mix of public, cultural, commercial and residential development, including the majority of the City's historically significant residential structures. This sub-area provides a buffer between the higher intensity commercial development of the CBD and the West Atlantic Avenue business corridor and Iow density residential neighborhoods to the west.

Sub Area 83: "West Atlantic Avenue Corridor" This sub-area, containing approximately 122 acres, generally comprises a one-block (600') deep corridor on each side of Atlantic Avenue from 1-95 to West 3rd Avenue. The 2 block NW. 5th Avenue neighborhood commercial area, located between NW 1st and NW 2nd Streets is also included in this sub- area. Overall, the area is characterized by older deteriorating commercial uses interspersed with vacant lots and vacant buildings. Existing businesses are primarily oriented to service the immediate neighborhood located on either side of Atlantic Avenue. 2.9 The rear portion of the blocks fronting on Atlantic Avenue are predominantly residential in nature with units of both single family and multiple family design. A large number of these are of relatively poor _ quality and require both minor and major repairs. The Atlantic Avenue Corridor is the major entrance to the downtown. As such, the visual appearance of the Avenue makes a statement about the City in general. To facilitate the City's efforts for redevelopment in this and other areas through the attraction of private investment, it is important to create a positive visual impact and to emphasize the importance of this area as an entrance to the Downtown Center In 1990, In order to improve the visual appearance of the corridor, the City began working on a greenway program to landscape the vacant private lots fronting along the avenue. This program has been a great success and is largely responsible for renewed interest in redevelopment of this area. Additional beautification efforts, including streetscape improvements with paver block sidewalks were constructed in 1992 as part of the Decade of Excellence Bond. It is important to note that a redevelopment strategy was put forth for this area in December, 1988 and met with substantial citizen opposition. The strategy recommended acquisition and redevelopment of the entire area. Since this approach did not allow for the assimilation of existing businesses and housing into the program, it would have required massive displacement and relocation of primarily minority businesses and residents. This situation was clearly "unacceptable" to the residents of the area. In a counter proposal presented by the West Atlantic Property Owners' Association (WAPOA), it was recommended that redevelopment of the area be accomplished on a block-by-block basis and that commercial acffvity be generally limited to a depth of 300 feet from Atlantic Avenue rights-of-way. This strategy was accepted by the City and has been included within the City's Comprehensive Plan as an interim measure to guide land use decision-making prior to the creation of a West Atlantic Redevelopment __ Plan. As a precursor to the preparation of a West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan, the Delray Merchant's Association was established in 1991. This group will contribute its unique viewpoints on the problems confronting the area and on possible solutions during the redevelopment process. In 1993, the CRA organized the first phase of the planning effort by inviting numerous community - members to a series of organizational meetings to discuss the concept of developing a West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan. These meetings, which were facilitated by professional planners, resulted in the organization of a larger community based Steering Committee of over 50 people. The initial charge of this Steering Committee was to develop a process and strategy for the planning effort. The Steering Committee participants referred to themselves as "Stakeholders" in the resulting process which was termed "Visions West Atlantic". "Visions West Atlantic" is a forum for a series of community meetings which will ultimately produce recommendations concerning redevelopment issues for West Atlantic Avenue. These - recommendations form the backbone of the redevelopment plan, which was adopted by the City in 1995. Major Physical Features: _ o 1-95 Interchange at Atlantic Avenue o Landscaped mini-parks at 1-95 o Landscaped vacant commercial lots along Atlantic Avenue -- frontage o Landscaping and special paving has been installed along the NW 5th Ave. neighborhood commercial street _ o New Fire Station Headquarters 2.10 The Players: o Community Redevelopment Agency o City of Delray Beach o West Atlantic Property Owner's Association (WAPOA) o Peach Umbrella Marketplace Property Owners o Private Development Interests o Delray Memhants Association o Visions West Atlantic Steering Committee o Haitian-American Chamber of Commerce D. Sub Area #4: "Residential Core" This sub-area of approximately 712 acres contains the majority of the City's minority population. When the area was originally settled, it was considered to be on the outskirts of the City. However, with the construction of 1-95 and rapid expansion to the west, it is now located in the center of the urban core. The area is primarily residential in nature containing approximately 2,617 dwelling units consisting of single family, duplex and multiple family structures. Overall, this area contains the bulk of the older, poorer quality housing within the city. The depressed economic status of a majority of the area's residents has made it difficult to provide adequate maintenance of housing units within the neighborhood. As a result, a substantial number of structures are in need of major repairs and rehabilitation. One of the large development success stories of the City, "Auburn Trace", is located within this area. This 256 unit hohsing project is a prime example of what can be accomplished to provide affordable housing through a public/private cooperative effort. Another affordable housing project within the area is Allamanda Gardens, a 36 unit single family subdivision. This project was developed by a non-profit agency named the "Housing Partnership" with County and City financial contributions. The City's only public housing project, 'Carver Estates" is located within the southern section of the area. This 200 unit development, once an "eyesore" in the community, has undergone considerable improvement in recent years and is now a community asset as well as a provider of affordable rental housing. The units contain from one to five bedrooms with the majority having two to three bedrooms. Rent is based on family income and the development has no vacancies.

Sub-Area #5: "North Federal Highway" This sub-area of approximately 196 acres is centered on the N. Federal Highway Corridor. The majority of the area was annexed to the City in 1988 as enclave #24, and additional properties, including the Delray Swap Shop were annexed in 1994. The City adopted a "Finding of Necessity" and the Community Redevelopment Area was amended in 1987 and 1989 to include most of this annexation area. In general, the properties fronting on Federal Highway are used for commercial purposes. Much of this frontage has been utilized for strip commercial developments with little sense of order. Additionally, due to age and obsolescence, there are a substantial number of commercial structures which require major renovation and/or demolition, have inadequate parking facilities and have an negative economic impact and blighting influence on the entire area. Although commercial activities are mixed throughout the area, there are auto-related businesses located south of 8th street, while the area north of 8th street is predominantly retail in nature. Homes within the residential areas are generally in poor condition requiring substantial maintenance, repair and rehabilitation. The City paved streets and installed water and sewer service within the area in 1992. Major Physical Features: o Intracoastal Waterway as eastern Boundary for a part of the area o This is a northern "gateway" to the city o The F.E.C. Railroad is the western boundary for the area o U.S. 1 runs as a "spine" through this sub-area The Players: o Community Redevelopment Agency o The City of Delray Beach o Palm Beach County (Code Enforcement Interlocal Agreement) o North Federal Highway Task Force o Private Development Interests F. Sub-Area ,~: "N.E. Neighborhood Area" This sub-area of approximately 278 acres is primarily situated between N.E. 2nd Avenue/Seacrest Boulevard and the F.E.C. Railway, north of 4th street. A portion of the area, located south of N.E. 8th Street is within the Del-Ida Historic District. In general, the overall sub-area is residential in nature; however, some Iow intensity professional office development is clustered within the southernmost portion and there is a small industrial zone located in the northeast corner. Additionally, two public schools (Plumosa Elementary & Atlantic High) are located within the area. There are approximately 860 residential units within the area, consisting of single family, duplex and multiple family structures. Although the overall housing conditions are good, there are many structures throughout the area in need of major and minor repairs. The worst physical conditions in the area occur on N.E 3rd Avenue, immediately adjacent to the railway. Most of the area has been identified as in need of stabilization and revitalization in the City's Comprehensive Plan. 2.12 Major Physical Features: o The F.E.C. Railroad o Atlantic High School o Vacant, dilapidated structures on large parcel located on Seacrest Avenue, north of 22nd Street o Plumosa Elementary School o Seacrest Christian School and Church o Del-Ida Professional Office District o N.E. 2nd Avenue/Seacrest Blvd. o Gulfstream Boulevard The Players: o The Community Redevelopment Agency o The City of Delray Beach o Palm Beach County School Board o Historic Preservation Board o Del-Ida Park Home Owners Association o Private Development Interests o The City of Boynton Beach (sharing costs with Delray to improve Gulfstream Blvd.) G. Sub-Ai'ea #7: "Osceola Park" This Sub-Area of approximately 151 acres is generally situated between Federal Highway and the F.E.C. Railroad, south of the CBD. The Federal Highway frontage contains a mixture of Iow intensity commercial uses and auto related businesses. There is additional commercial/light industrial development adjacent to the railroad in the northwest section of the area. The central and southern portions of the area are single family residential in nature. The overall condition of housing is generally good south of SE 6th street, although there are many structures in need of maintenance and minor repairs. The northern portion of the sub-area (between SE 2nd St. and SE 5th St.) contains the structures in the poorest condition. This area has sandwiched a small area of residential development between deteriorating commercial land uses. This portion of the sub-area has been designated a redevelopment area in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Major Physical Features: o F.E.C. Railroad o Currie Commons Park o Federal Highway Corridor The Players: o The Community Redevelopment Agency o The City of Delray Beach o Private Redevelopment Interests o Haitian-American Chamber of Commerce H. Sub-Area 88: "1-95/10th Street Area" This Sub-Area of approximately 75 acres is a mixed use area containing commercial and light industrial land uses together with a large cemetery and single family residential development. Additionally, there are approximately 25 acres of vacant land located within the area. One large vacant parcel, located south of the existing cemetery is planned for cemetery expansion with access from 10th Street. The single family subdivision is situated between the cemetery expansion area and another large vacant area to the 2.13 west. The area immediately south of 10th Street, outside the CRA boundary, is light industrial in nature and sets the tone for this podion of 10th street. It is important to note that this sub-area is located within the impact area of the City's Series 20 Wellfield. Any development or redevelopment in this area will be strictly regulated to ensure it does not degrade the City's potable water supply.

Functional Needs within the Community Redevelopment Area As opposed to specific needs identified within the various sub-areas of the Community redevelopment Area, these "Functional Needs" are areawide in scope and encompass some of the more serious problems which are prevalent throughout the area and contribute to the overall state of decline. Removal of Slum and Blight The Community Redevelopment Area contains a substantial number of slum, deteriorated and deteriorating structures which are a menace to the health, safety or welfare of Area residents. The existence of these slum and blighted conditions contribute substantially to the spread of disease and crime, decrease the tax base and substantially impair or arrest sound growth. The major charge of the Community Redevelopment Agency is the removal of these conditions and to subsequently preserve and enhance the tax base of the Community Redevelopment Area. In 1990, the CRA initiated its subsidized loan program. This program, which is available to 3.6 ~ residents and businesses throughout the entire CRA district, together with other more specific CRA Redevelopment efforts, is expected to provide an impetus for improvement of overall conditions within the district. B. Land Use Delray Beach is primarily a residential community. Land uses within the City should be balanced so that the commercial, recreational and public service needs of all its residents can be conveniently provided within the community. The Community Redevelopment Area contains a concentration of the city's poorer, less mobile population who are very dependant upon convenience commercial and recreational facilities within their neighborhood. There is a potential for redevelopment efforts to eliminate some of these facilities in favor of higher intensity development. The CRA will ensure that adequate facilities remain available to meet the needs of area residents when implementing its redevelopment programs. This will be accomplished through relocation or replacement of needed facilities which are displaced through redevelopment. C. Economic Development The city's survival as a governmental entity is dependent upon the generation of adequate tax revenues to meet the service needs of its residents. Projects which increase the overall marketability of the city as a commercial, recreational and residential area will ultimately increase the tax base. Slum and blight have a negative impact on the tax base of the city and are self propagating. Although there 'is often a tendency to focus on individual redevelopment projects at the expense of resolving underlying problems in order to set the stage for redevelopment, the existing and planned CRA projects and programs stress the importance of both. The success of this community redevelopment effort is largely dependent upon the economic vitality of the area. Through programs aimed at the elimination of slum and blighted conditions and improving the standard of living of its residents, the CRA hopes to provide the catalyst for the revitalization of the entire area. Additional projects aimed at increasing jobs, retail sales and other business activity in the area, will complement the process and hopefully solve many of the underlying problems which originally resulted in this slum and blight. D. Affordable Housing In today's economic climate, a major problem for local government is the provision of sufficient affordable housing to meet the needs of its current and projected population. In general, the housing delivery system is driven by the private sector. This process is most dependent upon existing economic conditions which effect the availability of finance capital, the cost of labor and materials, and the price of land. Local government can have an effect on the process through maintaining an adequate supply of buildable land and the provision of infrastructure at a reasonable cost or it can take a more active role through actual construction and sale of housing units. The role of the CRA in this process will be one of active participation. By implementing programs which improve the overall area or provide financial opportunities to area residents to improve their living conditions, the CRA will create the incentive for additional private investment in the area. Other programs, such as the CRA "Affordable Housing Program", contain elements aimed at providing direct assistance to developers and would-be home owners in an effort to facilitate the provision of additional affordable housing units within the area. It is anticipated that these CRA programs will ultimately enhance the appeal of "in-town" housing opportunities to a broad range of social and economic levels. E. Infrastructure Except in association with specific redevelopment projects, the provision of support infrastructure and community services will be the responsibility of the City. On and off-site infrastructure improvements, 3.7 such as parking, roadway improvements and utility upgrades may be used by the CRA as incentives to secure private sector redevelopment. _ F, Recreation Facilities The City's existing recreational system with programmed improvements of many facilities within the -- Community Redevelopment Area is adequate to meet the needs of area residents. The prevision or improvement of recreational facilities is not planned by the CRA at this time. It should be noted; however, that the CRA may include these facilities in the future as part of an overall redevelopment package _ involving the provision of additional housing. III. Market Conditions and Development Potential Between 1980 and 1990, the South Florida Region, comprising Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, experienced significant growth, increasing from a population of 3.22 million to 4.06 million. According to population projections from the University of Florida, published in 1991, over the next 10 years the region is expected to grow to a population of 4.79 million. Parallel with this population growth, the region's employment and economic base has also grown and diversified. With an overall growth rate of 49.7%, Palm Beach County experienced the highest growth rate among the three counties between 1980 and 1990. Because of its attractiveness to new industries as well as to retirees, the Cpunty had a net population increase of 286,780 people with 95.8% due to migration. Furthermore, over one-third of this new growth has been in South Palm Beach County area, which includes the Cities of Boynton Beach, Delray Beach and Boca Raton. Although this area in general, and west Delray Beach in particular, are expected to continue a high rate of growth, the "mature" areas of Delray Beach, east of 1-95, are not expected to receive significant new population or employment growth. Without sufficient population growth to spur market demand for new development within the Community Redevelopment Area, new development west of 1-95 may increasingly compete with existing development east of 1-95. This is particularly true regarding the competition from regional shopping malls and planned business and office parks. Thus, to maintain and expand the amount and viability of development within the Community Redevelopment Area an aggressive public-private strategy must be pursued to meet the competitive challenges. A. Retail Market Within the Community Redevelopment Area there exist a variety of retail activities including Shoppers Goods, Restaurants, Neighborhood Convenience Goods and Automobile Sales and Service. The bulk of this existing retail serves residential areas east of 1-95. It is, of course recognized that there is presently an over-supply of retail space in Palm Beach County generally and the greater Delray Beach area specifically. However, there is evidence in several locations throughout South Florida that consumers are again being attracted by the more interesting environments of downtown/urban centers rather than more sterile suburban shopping centers. Examples of this are Coconut Grove and Mizner Center in Boca Raton. 1. Comparison (Shoppers) Goods Downtown Delray Beach, along Atlantic Avenue, between Swinton Avenue and the Intracoastal Waterway is the city's oldest core of shopping activity. A 1991 field survey indicated that this area contains approximately 895,162 square feet of commercial building space, with the majority in shoppers goods retail. In 1991, the City of Delray Beach proposed to establish a "Downtown Core Geographic Area of 3,8 ~ Exception (GAE)" to the Countywide Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance in order to foster the continued development and redevelopment of the downtown area. Although, the GAE was accepted by the County, the State did not support the County's GAE process for dealing with exceptions to traffic concurrency. When the GAE was reviewed by the State as part of a County comprehensive plan amendment, it was rejected. Since the viability of the downtown in the marketplace is dependant upon the City's ability to attract people to the area; to live, to work and to shop, the City has continue to pursue other avenues with the County and the State to reduce the traffic standards. In early 1995, the Florida Department of Transportation agreed to assist Delray Beach to establish a "Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA)". In addition to the area included in the original GAE, the TCEA has been expanded to include West Atlantic Avenue between Swinton Avenue and 1-95, and East Atlantic Avenue between the Intracoastal Waterway and A-1 -A. Establishment of this TCEA will accomplish the goals of original GAE by allowing the increases in traffic which will undoubtedly occur as the downtown is redeveloped. The vitality of retail areas, particularly those in older downtowns, has proven dependant on two primary factors which are as follows: o The existence of a sufficient amount of quality retailing, i.e., a critical mass, to attract potential customers; and o Proximity of a residential customer base that can provide activity into the evening hours. A successful redevelopment plan for the downtown area must recognize both of these realities with emphasis on both retail and multi-family residential development. As indicated in the original GAE application, actions aimed at enlarging the market area or increasing the capture rate could significantly increase the amount of non-office commercial space. Such actions should include: o An improved and unified shopping district identity; o A coordinated advertising and promotion program; o A coordinated merchandising and leasing strategy; and o Retail recruitment aimed at additional apparel stores and a junior department store as a retail anchor. 2. Restaurants At present, the existing supply of restaurants within the Community Redevelopment Area is estimated to represent the current market potential within the existing market area. In order for additional restaurants to be suppoded, the downtown must draw more support from residents west of 1-95 and from outside the area. This can be accomplished through the actions designed to expand the comparison (shoppers) goods market and by providing coordinated shopping and entertainment activities along Atlantic Avenue. Atlantic Plaza is an excellent example of this approach. 3. Neighborhood Convenience Neighborhood convenience retail caters to the daily needs of nearby residents and includes grocery stores, drugstores and the like. At present residents in the Community Redevelopment Area are served by convenience retailers along N.E. 2nd Avenue, including the Publix shopping center, as well as smaller markets along Atlantic Avenue. Because little local population growth is projected, much potential does 3.9 not exist for the expansion of the convenience retail market within the Community Redevelopment Area. On the contrary, the current trend of coupling gas stations with convenience stores and the development of new modern community shopping centers outside the Community Redevelopment Area may reduce support for existing convenience retail along N.E. 2nd Avenue and West Atlantic Avenue. Thus, the objective of the Plan is to maintain the competitive position of the existing convenience retail market. 4. Automobile Dealers Automobile dealers and related uses have historically concentrated along Federal Highway in South __ Delray, representing a significant portion of the county's automobile sales. The availability of highly accessible sites for such uses combined with projected regional population growth would indicate continued potential for such uses. Conversely, due to the tremendous growth of office and other commercial development west of 1-95 and along Congress Avenue, demand for non-automobile uses along Federal -- Highway is expected to remain weak. This scenario would suggest policies to maintain and improve existing auto-related businesses at appropriate locations along Federal Highway. B. Office Potential The demand for office space is related to the creation of new businesses as well as to the desire among existing expanding businesses to "move-up" to newer or better office space. Because of the amount of prime office space already available and the amount of remaining land in planned office parks, a market for major office projects within the Community Redevelopment Area does not exist for the foreseeable future. An additional market does exist within the Community Redevelopment Area for smaller professional office space to serve legal, medical, financial, real estate and related businesses. Due in part to the large _ retirement population east of the Intracoastal Waterway demand for medical office space within the Community Redevelopment Area has been strong. Similarly, there is also a demand for other professional office space including legal offices. Such users prefer smaller scale personalized and affordable buildings prevalent in mixed-use downtown areas. This market demand is currently being met through use conversions of residential buildings. One such project, known as "Historic Executive Suites", involved the conversion of 4 residential structures into 19 office suites and offers a complete package of office support services. Additional opportunities exist for use conversion or home occupation within the Old School Square Historic Arts District. Although, it was once believed that the South County Courthouse would significantly increase the market potential for legal office office space in the area, this has not proved the case. With no jury trials or jury pools, the potential for additional office space is minor. C. Hotel Development Potential -- Within the Community Redevelopment Area the largest and most modern hotel is the 150 room Camino Real Holiday Inn at Atlantic Avenue and Ocean Boulevard. At present, the market for this hotel _ is balanced with business travelers and tourists. A planned 100 room expansion of the facility was approved by the City in 1991. Additional facilities within the downtown area, including the historic Colony Hotel, account for an additional 231 hotel rooms. Redevelopment efforts within the downtown area, aimed at increasing the tourism potential, may encourage limited future demand for additional hotel rooms. However, because only a very small proportion of the Community Redevelopment Area possesses the amenity of ocean-frontage, it is unlikely that an additional large-scale tourist-related hotel could be supported within the Area. D. Industrial Development Potential When the City of Delray Beach was founded, a major means for the shipment of goods to and from northern markets, was the railroad. Hence, the Central Business District of the City logically developed around the railroad line. The railroad is not; however, without its negative impacts (e.g. noise, & vibration), particularly on Iow intensity development. Therefore, adjacent properties developed primarily into a heavy commercial/light industrial land use pattern. Prior to the adoption of the Land Development Regulations in October 1990, special provisions were incorporated into the zoning code to permit specific land uses in addition to those ordinarily allowed within the respective zoning districts. This was done so the higher intensity existing land uses centered around the railroad corridor would remain conforming with respect to zoning. Although these provisions were continued in the new LDR'S, the City formed the CBD Industrial Area Committee in 1994 to evaluate the problem and recommend a solution. Data was collected for the area including land use, building areas, existing parking, and employment. Based upon the data and upon the characteristics of the area, the committee developed a new zoning district, entitled Central Business District-Railroad Corridor (CDB-RC). This new district, established in 1995, more accurately defines the boundaries of the area, expands the list of permitted uses and includes several special regulations dealing with overhead garage doors and outside storage. Another thrust of the downtown redevelopment effort is to capitalize and expand on this existing industrial base. This expansion will occur in the eastern portion of the Pineapple Grove Neighborhood, along both sides of the railroad tracks, between N.E. 1st Street and N.E. 4th Street. The establishment of this "Pineapple Grove Business Park" will require a concentrated effort to promote the advantages of the relatively Iow cost sites with available infrastructure in order to attract significant additional businesses to the area. A "business park" type improvement effort that would involve some coordinated streetscape and landscape improvements would be helpful as would a coordinated marketing effort similar to those of private business parks. The thematic focus of the business park will be on arts, crafts, design professions, specialty construction services, etc., which will give the area a certain synergy not found in the newer business parks west of town. This area will also provide support for the retail development along Pineapple Grove way, which would showcase art, crafts, and other products produced in the adjacent business park. Although undeveloped property within the area is limited, it is important to note that redevelopment with this thematic focus may be appropriate in much of the area. The future success of this particular initiative is difficult to assess, likely being dependant on good marketing and the early capture of a few key tenants to set the tone. There is evidence in South Florida that initiatives of this type can work. Illustrative examples are the Design District, north of downtown Miami and the "Bird Village" area of Coral Gables. VVhile success for this concept is not easily predictable, the concept is worthy of support for the following reasons: o The revitalization of the downtown core as a retail/residential area requires stabilization of its fringe areas such as Pineapple grove; and o Successfulindustrial redevelopment within Pineapple Grove could provide enhanced economic opportunities for the economically disadvantaged areas immediately west of the downtown through the creation of additional employment opportunities. Another area of the CRA which has the potential for additional industrial development is the Interstate 95/SW 10th Street area. This area, located in the southwest corner of the Community Redevelopment Area, contains a mix of light industrial and commercial land uses together with a large cemetery and a single family residential neighborhood. It is important to note; however, that the proximity of the City's Series 20 Wellfield makes it imperative that development of this area be restricted to clean industries which are non-impacting on the wellfield. E, Residential Development Potential 3.11 As previously cited, population growth in Palm Beach County has been high in recent years, resulting in the demand for an additional 165,991 housing units from 1980 to 1990, with the bulk of it located in new developments west of 1-95. In spite of this high regional housing demand, little of this growth is being accommodated within the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Area due largely to the characteristics of its existing neighborhoods. Overall, this area contains the majority of the older, poorer quality housing within the City. The bulk of these neighborhoods are occupied by Iow-moderate income minority households, the majority of which cannot afford adequate housing in today's high-priced market. Key opportunities for housing development relate to the availability of a significant number of vacant land parcels within the older residential neighborhood. One recently completed project, known as "Allamanda Gardens", features home ownership of three-bedroom, two-bath units on single family lots. Additional opportunities still exist for private development of both subsidized and non-subsidized infill housing. "- In addition to the need for housing to serve the needs of Iow-moderate income households, there is also an opportunity to attract younger upwardly mobile households within and adjacent to a revitalizing downtown area. The ability to attract such a market is largely related to the development of downtown as a lively center for shopping, entertainment and cultural activities. Specific opportunities relate to the revitalization of the existing older housing stock within the Old School Square Historic Arts District, to the immediate west of downtown. Furthermore, the high occupancy rates of multi-family residential units in such locations as Coconut Grove, South Beach (Miami Beach), and Mizner Park indicates that a segment of the market at a wide -- range of prices'is attracted to residential environments that combine housing and commercial uses in a wllage-like" ambiance. IV. Neighborhood Impacts of Redevelopment Efforts The following section describes the potential impacts of redevelopment efforts on the residential neighborhoods of the Community Redevelopment Area and surrounding areas. While neighborhood impacts have been considered for the specific redevelopment actions recommended in this Plan, it should be noted that many of these projects are in the early stages of planning. Therefore, some impacts resulting -- from their implementation may as yet be undetermined. As these projects become more clearly defined, and additional impacts are identified, this section of the Plan will be amended. Other actions described in the Plan for subsequent years are subject to further refinement and elaboration in the intervening period _ and are consequently not included in the consideration of short range impacts. A. Relocation Of Displaced Residents and Businesses Residential relocations are contemplated by this plan in connection with two projects. These projects are, the Block 60 Redevelopment Project and expansion of the South County Courthouse. While no other relocations are anticipated at this time, it is important to note that changing conditions or -- modifications to planned projects may result in some residential displacement. In the event that existing or future CRA lead agency projects do require the relocation of residents, a relocation plan will be submitted as a component of the project package prior to official action on the project. It is also important to note that through the combined efforts of the Community Redevelopment Agency, the City, and the private development community, the neighborhood housing stock will be expanded and thereby provide opportunities for the relocation of residents elsewhere in the neighborhood. -- The displacement of some existing businesses is contemplated with the majority of the planned redevelopment projects of the CRA. During the planning phase of each redevelopment project, the _ relocation of displaced businesses will be considered. 3.12 To protect the residents within the Community Redevelopment Area, the CRA shall formally adopt a relocation policy containing procedures for relocation, (See Policy B-4.4, Part 5 of this Plan). When required by redevelopment actions, the relocation of residents within the Community Redevelopment Area will follow these procedures. Expenses and financial assistance required by these procedures shall become the responsibility of the Community Redevelopment Agency. B. Traffic Circulation Although the proposed redevelopment actions will inevitably increase overall traffic, the Community Redevelopment Area is blessed with an existing roadway network that services the entire area. Additionally, the Decade of Excellence Bond contains many traffic circulation improvement projects including street reconstructions, alleyway improvements and road widenings, which will increase the functional capacity of the existing system. The major redevelopment projects contained within this plan are generally adjacent to major transportation corridors and are not anticipated to degrade traffic circulation within the residential areas of the Community Redevelopment Area. The major impacts of the CRA's redevelopment efforts on the existing roadway network will occur through its efforts to revitalize and redevelop the downtown core and West Atlantic Avenue. It should be noted; however, that continued development and redevelopment of the compact downtown core should also encourage alternate means of transportation, particularity where employment and housing are within walking distance of each other. A component of the redevelopment effort is the provision of housing units within the downtown area. Many of the residents of these housing units will then be able to walk or bicycle to shopping or to work. Several other redevelopment projects, located outside the downtown, are aimed at increasing economic vitality through the addition of employment or shopping opportunities. The close proximity of residential development to these projects will, as in the downtown, create opportunities for residents to walk or bicycle to work. Although implementation of individual redevelopment projects may require improvements or modifications to the existing roadway network, these localized impacts will be reviewed when specific project designs are undertaken. It is also recommended that architectural and site-specific design solutions be considered to mitigate potential traffic and parking impacts of specific projects on adjacent residential neighborhoods. C. Environmental Quality The redevelopment actions proposed in the Plan are intended to improve the environmental quality within the Redevelopment Area. At least one program, the Subsidized Loan Program, will have positive impacts throughout the Community Redevelopment Area. This program allows residents and businesses throughout the area to make exterior improvements to their properties which they could not otherwise afford. It is expected that improvements associated with this program will foster a new sense of community pride and spur additional revitalization efforts throughout the area. Streetscape and landscape improvements associated with many of the redevelopment projects will, when completed, upgrade the overall appearance of surrounding areas. Several projects, involving removal of existing uses and then full-scale redevelopment will improve the appearance of several blocks within the downtown. D. Availability of Community Facilities and Services Since the Community Redevelopment Area contains the oldest sections of the City, it has the availability of the full range of community services and facilities associated with urbanized areas. However, due to the age of these systems, there is a potential problem with their condition and/or poor design. Therefore, implementation of individual redevelopment projects and streetscape beautification projects may 3.13 require improvements or modifications to existing systems. In recent years, the City of Delray Beach has expended considerable funds on infrastructure improvements and beautification efforts. Additionally, the City has committed over 21 million dollars to public improvements, currently under way, through its Decade of Excellence bond program. The majority of the improvements funded by the bond are located within the Community Redevelopment Area, including several major drainage projects and the new Fire Station Headquarters. Recreational facilities throughout the Community Redevelopment Area are being retained and in many instances undergoing extensive improvements under the City's Decade of Excellence Bond. Additionally, the City has completed an extensive renovation of the Municipal Tennis Center. E. Effect on School Population At the present time, there are four existing public schools within the Community Redevelopment Area and one school, Pine Grove Elementary is on the fringe. Information on permanent capacity and current student population is provided in the following table: S. D. Spady Elementary School 587 594 - Plumosa Elementary School 585 583 Carver Middle School (New) 1,275 1,247 Atlantic High School 1,838 2,031 Pine Grove Elementary School 596 865 Totals 4,881 5,320 Table 3-1: Public Schools Source: Palm Beach County School Board The School Board has also planned for expansion of Atlantic High School and Pine Grove -- Elementary to meet the existing demand. No other major actions affecting existing school facilities within the Redevelopment Area are planned by the Palm Beach County School Board at this time. The residential development programs identified within the Community Redevelopment Plan will likely represent only a _ small percentage of overall County population growth. However, based on current overcrowded conditions in three of the five existing area schools and demographic projections indicated by the County, additional housing development and population growth in the Community Redevelopment Area will likely contribute to some extent to the overcrowded school conditions that now exist. -- V. Relationship to the City's Comprehensive Plan - Florida Statutes require that the Community Redevelopment Plan be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. In order to remain current in the fast-paced, highly volatile economy of South _ Florida, the Community Redevelopment Plan will have to be amended when programs are changed or as new programs and projects that were not included in the original plan are proposed. To maintain consistency with the City's Plan a two-tiered approach will be used during the amendment process. The first step in the process is an administrative determination by the City Manager, or his 3.14 -- designee, as to whether the proposed amendment is procedural/technical (e.g. changes to dates, amounts of project funding, updates, etc.) or substantive, (adoption of a new program). Under the former determination, the amendment would go directly to the City Commission with the staff finding. Under the latter, the amendment would first be reviewed by the LPA (P&Z Board) for determination of consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan and then forwarded to the City Commission with recommendations. Since amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan require a time consuming process and are allowed only twice a year except in cases of emergency, the Community Redevelopment Plan will not be completely assimilated into the Comprehensive Plan. Those portions of the CRA Plan and subsequent amendments which involve only the resources of the CRA will not be included within the City's Comprehensive Plan. However, whenever significant City Participation is a part of a CRA project and such participation has not been addressed in the Comprehensive Plan, it may be necessary to process a Comprehensive Plan Amendment prior to action by the City. Generally, it will be necessary to amend the Comprehensive Plan in order to accommodate the following: o Those portions of the CRA Plan which would otherwise be in conflict or inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan as it is now written; o To provide City financing, or financial assistance, to projects identified in the CRA Plan which are not already in the . Comprehensive Plan; and o To reassess and modify existing policies in the Land Use Element calling for joint CRA/City participation. It is anticipated that implementation of some of the Community Redevelopment Agency's programs will require City financing or financial assistance. Additionally, this Community Redevelopment Plan is recommending several changes of Future Land Use designation and amendments to the City's Land Development Regulations. Redevelopment projects which are dependant upon these actions may be delayed until the City can make the required changes. 3.15 Part Four: The Redevelopment Program PART FOUR: THE REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM I. Redevelopment Strategies A. Sub-Area 1: The "Downtown Area" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be to increase the overall intensity of the downtown. New development and redevelopment projects shall be structured to increase both daytime and nighttime activity within the area, but shall be appropriately designed and strategically located to maintain the "village like" character of the area. Efforts to increase residential development within the area shall play a key role in the revitalization efforts. B. Sub-Area 2: "The Governmental and Cultural Center" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be twofold: (1) Provide for a central consolidation of government facilities and support services within the City along the Atlantic Avenue Frontage through redevelopment of property to uses which complement the South County Courthouse and City Hall Complex; and, (2) Provide for the location of mixed uses of residential, offices and arts related commercial activities which encourage the restoration and preservation of the "Old School Square Historic Arts District" C. Sub-Area 3: "The West Atlantic Avenue Corridor" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be to create a positive visual impact and to emphasize its importance as the an entrance to the downtown core of the City. Redevelopment projects within the corridor shall be either residential, neighborhood commercial (meeting the service needs of the surrounding neighborhood), community commercial (meeting the service needs of the community at large) or mixed use consisting of both residential and commercial development. D. Sub-Area 4: "The Residential Core" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be threefold. (1) Conservancy of existing good- quality housing; (2) Rehabilitation or demolition/replacement of substandard housing; and, (3) Development of additional housing units appropriately located on vacant lots within the area. E. Sub-Area 5: "North Federal Highway" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be twofold: (1) Selective redevelopment of the Federal Highway frontage in order to eliminate obsolete and deteriorated buildings, reduce negative impacts, and provide for better utilization of land and resources in keeping with the high visibility location; and, (2) Stabilization of the residential neighborhoods through selective revitalization and rehabilitation efforts. F. Sub-Area 6: "Northeast Neighborhood" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be to arrest the further decline of the neighborhood through revitalization and other programs aimed at stabilization. G. Sub-Area 7: "Osceola Park" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be twofold: (1) Redevelopment of the northern portion of the area (i.e. north of 5th street) as a mixed use area containing commercial and high density residential development; and, (2) Stabilization of the residential neighborhood in the southern portion of the area through selective revitalization and rehabilitation programs. 4.1 H. Sub-Area 8: "1-95/10th Street" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be twofold: (1) Increase the amount of industrially zoned ~and in the area for clean industdat uses which wifl not impact the adjacent wellfield; and, (2) Stabilization of the existing residential neighborhood through selective revitalization and rehabilitation programs. II. The Project Decision Process In order to understand the project decision process, it is important to first note that the Community Redevelopment Agency cannot possibly fund the immense task of redevelopment on its own. It must therefore structure its programs to act as catalysts for redevelopment efforts by individual residents and businesses within the CRA and to leverage investment by private enterprise. With limited resources available for redevelopment efforts, the Agency must be careful not to spread itself to thin by attempting to do too much at once. Innovative programming on the part of the Agency is necessary to maximize benefits from expenditures. Since the implementation of a few strategically placed well-funded programs may have a much greater impact on the overall area than many inadequately funded ones, programs must be evaluated in the context of "The Big Picture" and implemented accordingly III. Community Redevelopment Agency Projects and Programs The projects and programs of the Community Redevelopment Agency are designed to solve underlying problems which have a blighting influence on the Community Redevelopment Area, satisfy basic needs of the populace or take advantage of opportunities for economic, social or aesthetic improvement. Overall redevelopment strategies of both the CRA and the City are embodied within these projects and programs undertaken by the CRA. This portion of the Plan is the heart of the Community Redevelopment Program. The following sections provide a detailed description of all current and proposed projects and programs for which funding is provided, or will be provided, by the Community Redevelopment Agency. For organizational purposes, these projects and programs have been divided into three groups: Group "1 ": Planning; Group "2": Redevelopment; and Group "3": Community Improvement. This organizational structure is not; however meant to be mutually exclusive, since many projects contain components which fit into more than one category. A. GROUP "1": PLANNING # 1.1: "Downtown Core Geographic Area of Exception" This project was completed in FY 1991/1992 (See Appendix "E" for - description of project) # 1.2: "West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan" Background The West Atlantic Corridor between NW and SW 1st Streets was designated as "Redevelopment Area #1" on the City's Land Use Plan. Due to its location and land use pattern, this area has considerable potential for mixed-use development. Specific guidelines pertaining to the area are contained within the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Policy C-2.4 and Housing Element Policy B-3.1. The 4.2 Comprehensive Plan calls for the preparation of a "Redevelopment Plan" which will be adopted as a local Plan amendment. Once adopted, this plan will become the primary document for directing redevelopment efforts in the area. Prior to adoption of the Redevelopment Plan, public investment - in terms of infrastructure - is to be minimal and private development proposals are to be deferred until the plan is completed or considered on their own merits with existing zoning and the policies of the Comprehensive Plan. A redevelopment strategy for this area was presented to the public in 1988, which outlined substantial demolition and would have required the relocation of a large number of displaced residents and businesses. This plan met with considerable public opposition and was abandoned. In 1993, the CRA organized the first phase of the planning effort by inviting numerous community members to a series of organizational meetings to discuss the concept of developing a West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan. These meetings, which were facilitated by professional planners, resulted in the organization of a larger community based Steering Committee of over 50 people. The initial charge of this Steering Committee was to develop a process and strategy for the planning effort. The Steering Committee participants referred to themselves as "Stakeholders" in the resulting process which was termed "Visions West Atlantic". "Visions West Atlantic" is a forum for a series of community meetings which will ultimately produce recommendations concerning redevelopment issues for West Atlantic Avenue. These recommendations form the backbone of the redevelopment plan, which was adopted by the City in 1995. In 1994,, the community "visions meetings" recognized that the need to facilitate the redevelopment of West Atlantic Avenue would not stop with completion of the plan. After a series of discussions, the group established the need for a project manager to implement the plan. The role of this person would be facilitate the monthly visions meetings, act as a liaison between the community group and the CRA/City, and to implement the redevelopment strategies contained in the plan. Project Objectives o Commencement of the planning process in FY 1992/1993 and successful completion and adoption of the Redevelopment Plan in FY1994/1995. Project Description Implementation of a design charrette in the fall of 1993. Preparation of a "Redevelopment Plan" which will: - Utilize a "Visioning Process", which includes maximum feasible citizen participation to develop a consensus on the redevelopment issues of West Atlantic Avenue, including proposals for land use and Land Development Regulation (LDR) changes; - Encourage redevelopment and enhancement of the West Atlantic Avenue Business Corridor District; - Encourage minority business development; and - Increase housing opportunities Project Participants and Administration o Planning/design professionals to help community members to visualize their design ideas and develop an overall concept for West Atlantic Avenue at a design charrette. o The Community Redevelopment Agency shall be the lead agency in the preparation of the Plan. o Other participants in the program may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, the Delray Merchants Association, the West Atlantic Property Owners Association, Churches United, Haitian American Chamber of Commerce, Visions West Atlantic Steering Committee and interested 4.3 residents Funding Sources o The CRA and others, as appropriate, will provide funding for staff support and professional consultants, if required. · Proiect Schedule o The Design Charrette was completed in the fall of 1993 o Completion and adoption of the Plan in FY 1994/1995. o Redevelopment Project Manager to start in FY 1994/1995. if 1.3: "CBD Development Plan" Background The City's Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Element Policy C-4.3 requires that a special CBD Development Plan be developed jointly by the CRA and the City. Due to the character and condition of the downtown area, a unique blend of development, redevelopment, and revitalization will be needed in order to achieve its ultimate development potential. The purpose of the CBD Development Plan is to provide an overall framework within which future development decisions may be made. Many studies and projects have been undertaken, upon which, the specifics of the overall Development Plan for the downtown may be built. These include, the Downtown Core GAE application, the CBD Alleyway Improvement Program, the Parking Study Committee report and various downtown improvement projects authorized by the Decade of Excellence Bond. In early 1995, the Florida Department of Transportation agreed to assist Delray Beach to establish a "Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA)". In addition to the downtown area included in the original GAE, the TCEA has been expanded to include West Atlantic Avenue between Swinton Avenue and 1-95, and East Atlantic Avenue between the Intracoastal Waterway and A-1-A. Establishment of this TCEA will allow the increases in traffic which will undoubtedly occur as the downtown is redeveloped. The TCEA process will also be utilized to help define the overall development potential of the downtown. Project Objectives o Successful completion and adoption of the Development Plan in FY 1995/1996. Project Description o Preparation of a "Development Plan" which will: -Utilize the TCEA process as a starting point to set developmental limits and define the image of the downtown area. -Determine roles of both public and private sectors in achieving the proposed development image - Identify infrastructure requirements, including parking, which will be needed to accommodate the ultimate level of intensity -Include incentives to encourage private redevelopment efforts within the Central Business District, such as multi-use projects which provide in-town housing opportunities -Provide implementation strategies for achieving the proposed development image and requisite infrastructure, including long-range marketing and financial plans 4.4 Project Participants and Administration o The Plan shall be prepared under the lead of the CRA with the assistance of the City Planning Department. (Note: This will require a City Comprehensive Plan Amendment) o Other participants in the project may include, but are not limited to, the Atlantic Avenue Association, DDA, Chamber of Commerce, Council of 100, professional consultants and interested residents Funding Sources o The CRA and others, as appropriate, will provide funding for staff support and professional consultants as required. Project Schedule o Begin Plan in FY 1993/1994. Complete Plan in FY 1995/1996. # 1.4: "Master Parking Program" Background The problem of parking has long been a major point of concern within the City of Delray Beach. Specific issues, such as CBD parking regulations, in-lieu fees, adequacy of the existing parking supply and the use of meters in the downtown have continued to be points of controversy among community leaders. In July, of 1991, the City commission appointed a Parking Study Committee under the direction of the Community Redevelopment Agency to address these and other issues and reach a consensus on how to deal with the so called "parking problem" in Delray Beach. The recommendations of the Committee was officially presented to the City Commission in mid 1992 in the form of a "Master Parking Plan". In making its determination on how to address the various parking related issues, it was decided that existing revenue sources do not generate sufficient funds to allow independent operation of a Parking Authority. However, with an aggressive program, an independent authority could be established in the future. In the interim, a Parking Management Team (PMT) was appointed by the City Commission to handle referrals of parking related issues as well as the implementation of the Master Parking Program. This Parking Management Team is charged with the responsibility of maintaining and operating an adequate supply of parking within the Atlantic Avenue corridor and downtown area. To fund its activities, the Parking Management Team will have access, with authorization by the City Commission, 1o a Parking Reserve Fund. This fund, which initially contains the City's in-lieu parking fees will ultimately contain other revenues generated by the parking system as well as any direct contributions by the City and various agencies as appropriate. Program Objectives o The provision, operation and maintenance of an adequate supply of parking to meet current and future demand. Program Description o Acceptance and adoption of a Master Parking Plan by the City Commission. (Accomplished in 1992) o Establishment of a Parking Management Team by the City. (Accomplished October 27, 1992 via City Resolution No. 121-92) o The City will initiate appropriate amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development 4.5 Regulations as required to implement the program. o Establishment of a Parking Reserve Fund and identification of appropriate revenue sources to fund it. o Administration of the Program by the Parking Management Team o Expenditures from the Parking Reserve Fund will require authorization by the City Commission Program Participants and Administration o The City Commission shall be responsible for appointments of representatives to the Parking Management Team and for organization of the Parking Reserve Fund. o The City Planning Department shall be responsible for initiation of appropriate amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and LDR's. o Representatives shall be nominated through the CRA o The CRA shall provide clerical and logistic support for the team o The Team shall be comprised of a representative from each of the following: CRA; DDA; P&Z Board; City Commission; Chamber of Commerce; Business operator and/or land owner in original DDA area; Business operator or land owner in expanded CBD; Business operator and/or land owner in commercial beach area; Business operator or land owner on West Atlantic Avenue; and, Business operator or land owner in the OSSHAD Zoning District o The CPA's representative to the team shall hold the chairmanship Funding Sources o Various parking related revenues as deemed appropriate by the City Commission. o Additional City, CRA and DDA contributions as appropriate. Program Schedule o The program was implemented in FY 1992/1993 # 1.5: "Del Ida Park Neighborhood Improvement Plan" Background This Historic District, commonly known as "Del Ida Park", is bounded by N.E. 4th Street, N.E. 8th Street, Swinton Avenue and the F.E.C. Railroad. Zoning in the area includes "R-l-AA Single-Family Residential", 'RL Low Density Residential" and "RO Residential/Office". Land uses are varied, containing a mixture single-family and multi-family residences and professional/medical offices. The area contains many historic structures and has a unique quality that is attractive to small scale office users and home occupations. With beautification and elimination of some of the blighted conditions, expansion of these types of uses in the area is likely. The medical professionals in the area are particularly interested in participating in the improvement of the neighborhood. The major goal of this planning effort is the implementation of a community based neighborhood improvement program which is primarily funded by the property owners. Program Objectives o Elimination of slum and blighted conditions, particularly on N.E. 3rd Avenue and N.E. 4th Street to prevent the of these conditions to other parts of the neighborhood. o Encourage development and redevelopment on RO zoned property, particularly for medical offices. o Promote historic preservation o Promote residential rehabilitation 4.6 o Increase employment and business opportunities in the area. Program Description o Prepare a comprehensive study of the area including: - Organization of neighborhood residents and businesses to discuss the opportunities for the area. - Investigation of the permitted uses within the area's existing zoning districts and evaluate their impact on the area as a whole. - Evaluation of the existing utilities systems, landscaping, roadways, parking and pedestrian circulation system. - Evaluation of the feasibility of creating a "Property Assessment District" to fund improvements. o Present study and recommendations to the City o Prepare Construction Plans and Cost Estimates for proposed improvements. These improvements may include beautification of the perimeter streets with added landscaping, signage and decorative street lighting; upgrading utilities (especially drainage); and the addition of sidewalks where needed. Program Participants and Administration o The program will be administered and coordinated by the CRA. o The City will play a major role in formulation of the Plan. Assistance will be obtained from various City Departments, including Planning, Community Improvement, Environmental Services, Police and Fir~. o Other participants include property owners and businesses in the area. Funding Sources o The CRA will provide funding for the planning effort including any outside consulting services that are necessary o Other sources may include, but are not limited to, the property owners and businesses in the area and public and private grants o The City will provide technical support from various City Departments Program Schedule o The program will commence in FY 1993/1994 # 1.6: "Osceola Park Redevelopment & Neighborhood Improvement Plan" Background This Downtown area is generally located between Federal Highway and the F.E.C. Railroad, south of the Central Business District. Zoning in the area includes 'R-1-A Single-Family Residential", 'RM Medium Density Residential", "GC General Commercial" and "CBD Central Business District". Land uses are varied, containing a mixture single-family and multi-family residences, commercial, and light industrial development. Since the area is encompassed by wellfield protection zones, impacts of non-residential land uses on the wellfield is a major concern. The northern portion of the area (north of S.E. 5th Street) contains commercial and light industrial development with inadequate parking and residential uses sandwiched between incompatible land uses. This portion of the area has been designated as "Redevelopment Area # 5" by the City. The intent is to redevelop this area into a mixed use district, containing higher density residential and compatible non- 4.7 residential development with adequate parking and services. The CRA will work with the City in preparation of a redevelopment plan for this area. South of S.E. 5th Street, the character of Osceola Park changes drastically. This area is generally single-family in nature with a majority of the units in rentals. The overall condition of the housing is generally good, although there are many structures in need of maintenance and minor repairs. The area has a unique quality that is attractive for residents who wish to live in a single-family home located close to the City's commercial core. With beautification and elimination of blighted conditions, this area can be stabilized and the number of owner-occupied units increased Program Obiectives o Elimination of slum and blighted conditions. o Promote historic preservation o Promote residential rehabilitation o Protection of the City's wellfield o Promote owner-occupied housing Program Description o The program shall consist of three phases. o Phase 1 shall be to perform an historic survey of the existing structures in the area and determine if a portion of the area should be designated an historic district o Phase P shall be to assist the City in the preparation of a Redevelopment Plan for the northern portion of the area designated as "Redevelopment Area #~' o Phase 3 shall be for the CRA to prepare a comprehensive study of the remaining area including: - Organization of residents to discuss the opportunities for the neighborhood. - Potential impacts of Phase 1 Redevelopment Plan proposals on this area. - Evaluation of the existing utilities systems, landscaping, roadways, parking and pedestrian circulation system. - Evaluation of the feasibility of creating a "Property Assessment District" to fund improvements. - Preparation of Construction Plans and Cost Estimates for proposed improvements. These improvements may include beautification of the perimeter streets with added landscaping, signage and decorative street lighting; upgrading utilities (especially drainage); and the addition of sidewalks where needed. - Present study and recommendations to the City Program Participants and Administration o Phases 1 and 2 will be administered and coordinated by the City. The CRA will provide assistance. o Phase 3 will be administered and coordinated by the CRA. The City will play a major role in formulation of the Plan. Assistance will be obtained from various City Departments, including Planning, Community Improvement, Environmental Services, Police and Fire. o Other participants include property owners and businesses in the area. Funding Sources o The CRA will fund the cost of any outside consultants utilized in Phase 1 o The City will be responsible for Phase 2 costs. o The CRA will provide funding for Phase 3, including any outside consulting services that are necessary o The City will provide technical support from various City Departments for Phase 3. 4.8 ~ o Other sources may include, but are not limited to, the property owners and businesses in the area and public and private grants Program Schedule o Phase 1 of the program will be completed in FY 1994/1995. o Phase 2 and 3 will begin in FY 1994/1995 B. GROUP "2": REDEVELOPMENT # 2.1: "Peach Umbrella Plaza I" Background This project is in response to a community based initiative, spearheaded primarily by two property owners, Mr. Clay Wideman, owner of two buildings, and Mrs. Charlotte Durante, agent of two buildings. The owners have created a nonprofit corporation, Peach Umbrella Plaza Association, together with several merchants in their respective buildings, for the purpose of promoting commerce for the Plaza. The Community Redevelopment Agency initially became involved in the project in 1989 when it funded the preparation of a Schematic Plan for the redevelopment. Subsequent CRA actions included acquisition of the Taxi-Stand property in 1990 and the former Georgia Town Tavern site in 1991. Negotiations for acquisition of additional properties were begun in 1990 but were discontinued in January 1991 when the Board decided that further acquisition without additional planning and marketing was premature. The Association continued its efforts to market the Plaza and gain community support with its annual fall festival and through its effods to lease building space in the project. The CRA became involved again in October 1991 when it prepared a preliminary Site Plan and Project Proposal. The Board agreed to allocate $30,000 to fund Phase One of the Proposal on November 7, 1991. In 1993, the CRA initiated Phase II (facade Improvements), including the purchase of a "facade easement' and facade restoration for the Wideman buildings. Also in 1993, Checkers Drive-In Restaurant, Inc. purchased two properties in the project and opened a new restaurant on the south side of Atlantic Avenue, adjacent to the Wideman Building. Project Objectives o Eliminate blighted conditions along West Atlantic Avenue o Encourage minority business development o Demonstrate a commitment by the CRA to a redevelopment project outside the downtown. o Provide a catalyst for future development on adjoining blocks of West Atlantic and further minority business development o Provide additional neighborhood shopping opportunities and services for area residents. o Provide adequate parking for shoppers and office users to stimulate consumer demand o Creation of jobs Project Description o The redevelopment project is a public/private venture between the CRA and the Peach Umbrella Plaza Association. o The project consists of land and buildings in Blocks 28 & 29 of the City of Delray Beach. This includes properties fronting the 400 block of West Atlantic Avenue and other properties to the rear which front on N.W./S.W. 4th or N.W./S.W. 5th Avenues. o Project may also include development of parking facilities on adjacent blocks to support the project 4.9 o Parking lots constructed on the project may include private lots, municipal lots and lots which are sold or leased to private entities. Developers and users located in the Redevelopment Project or on adjacent properties may make arrangements to pay the CRA or other public or private entity a fee to lease or purchase enough parking spaces to meet City parking requirements for their use. Checkers used this arrangement to meet is parking requirements o The Project is to be developed as a neighborhood commercial center, containing goods and services intended to serve the surrounding neighborhood as well as appeal to a larger market outside the area. o Project to contain approximately 20,000 to 30,000 sq.ft, of gross leasable area or more if marketing determines the need for a larger center. o Architectural style of the project will attempt to convey the theme of a festival marketplace and will be responsive to the multi-ethnic culture of the neighborhood. o The Project is divided into four Phases: Phase 1' Planning, Marketing and Economic Feasibility Phase 2: Building Renovation; Facade Improvements (utilizing Facade Easements; Parking Facilities (utilizing Parking Easements and Municipal Parking Lots) and other Site Improvements (e.g. paver blocks, signage, decorative lighting, street furniture, etc.) Phase 3: Land Acquisition for Plaza Expansion, including parking (Refer to Appendix "D" for Land Acquisition Map) and Construction of additional parking. Phase 4: Sales of CRA property holdings to Developers and Users for the Construction of Additional Buildings or rehabilitation of existing buildings. Project Participants and Administration o The project will be administered and coordinated by the CRA o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the Peach Umbrella Plaza Association, the Center for Technology Enterprise and Development, Inc., the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce, Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church, Delray Merchants Association, Visions West Atlantic Steering Committee, Design Professionals, Building Tenants, and the Developer(s) for Plaza Expansion (new buildings). Funding Sources o The CRA shall provide the funding for Phase 1 of the project o Phases 2 and 3 shall be jointly funded by the CRA, the Property Owners and others as appropriate. o The CRA's Subsidized Loan Program and Business Development Program are available to provide additional assistance owners/businesses within the Plaza Project Schedule o Phase 1 began in 1991 o Phase 2 and Phase 3 began in FY 1992/1993 o Phase 4 to begin in FY 1994/1995 # 2.2: "Affordable Housing Program" Background The Community Redevelopment Agency implemented its Affordable Housing Program in March, 1992 for the purpose of providing new affordable housing units within an area of the CRA which contains 4.10 a considerable number of vacant building lots. This program is also important, in that, it will enable the CRA to address the issues of relocation and housing replacement for CRA residents who may be displaced as a result of future redevelopment activity. Program Objectives o Provide decent, affordable housing for residents who are of Iow to moderate income level. o Stabilize and preserve neighborhoods through redevelopment and the elimination of blight. o Create an atmosphere for a mix of income levels within deteriorated residential areas of the CRA o Establish a CRA role in the provision of relocation housing. o Demonstrate the housing product for relocating residents. Program Description o The Target Area for the Affordable Housing Program will generally be between Lake Ida Road/NE 4th Street on the north, SE/SW 10th Street to the south, 1-95 to the west and Federal Highway to the east. o The details of the program will be set forth in the program guidelines adopted by the CRA. Components of the program may include, but are not limited to the following: - Home Buyer Assistance (Subsidies secured by CRA soft junior mortgages) - Credit Enhancement for Builders through loan guarantees for a portion of construction loans for speculative homes - Permanent Loan Assistance - ,Home Buyer's Marketing - Architectural Design Assistance to builders, home buyers, and non-profits at minimal cost. - CRA acquisition of vacant residential lots and residences for resale and development or redevelopment (refer to Appendix "D" for Land Acquisition Map). - Technical and financial assistance to CDC's. - Apply for grants and other aid to enhance program including economic development, credit repair, beautification projects and administration. o The CRA may also provide the above services as part of an joint program between other public and private sector participants. The CRA intends to enter into such an agreement entitled "The Delray Beach Renaissance Program" in 1995. o To supplement the program, the CRA may assist the City Police Depadment to improve security in the area through the purchase and rehabilitation or construction of one or more housing units within the target area for use as police substations. When these substations become unnecessary, they will be recycled as affordable housing units. Program Participants and Administration o Participants may include, but are not limited to, the CRA, private developers/homebuilders, non- profit housing sponsors, home buyers, lending institutions (including the "Consortium For Affordable Home Financing"), the City of Delray Beach, the Delray Beach Housing Authority, The Delray Beach Center for Technology, Enterprise & Development, Inc, the Delray Beach Community Development Corporation (a LISC organization of Palm Beach County), and other Foundations and public/private sponsors. o The roles and the various participants will be set forth in the program guidelines adopted by the CRA. Funding Sources o Primary funding for the program will be provided by the CRA o Other potential funding sources include, but are not limited to, Local, State and Federal Governmental Grants, and Private contributions. 4.11 Program Schedule o Program was implemented in March 1992 # 2,3: "Downtown Anchor and Parking" Background The 1986 Community Redevelopment Plan identified the need for a 50,000 to 60,000 sq. ft. junior department store and/or mixed use development to serve as an additional anchor for the downtown retail core. The Plan proposed that the project occur after 1990 and included a proposed allocation of $500,000 to assist in covering the cost of land assembly, relocation and infrastructure. In 1988 to 1989, efforts were made by the City, the CRA and the DDA to attract Jacobson's Department Store to Downtown Delray Beach. Several studies including a Master Parking Plan, a Downtown Retail Study and a Economic/Fiscal Impact Study were prepared, negotiations took place and proposals were written. Ultimately, both the CRA and the City endorsed the location of Jacobson's at Atlantic Plaza and agreed to provide a parking structure to support the development. A final proposal was completed outlining total costs of the garage and the sharing of costs. The CRA then proceeded under the proposal to acquire the land for the parking structure. When the CRA's actions were legally challenged as being inconsistent with the adopted Redevelopment Plan, the project was terminated. In 1993~ the CRA, in conjunction with the City and the Chamber of Commerce, reinitiated contact with Jacobson's. The CRA prepared a preliminary development plan and presented the proposal to Jacobson's. Fudher study has been performed during FY1993/1994 and additional study and steps for implementation will be required in FY1994/1995 in order to attract an anchor Project Objectives o Provide economic stimulation and investment in the CBD. o Improve marketability of the retail core. o Increase activity in the downtown area o Create Jobs in the Downtown Area Project Description o Development of a mixed-use commercial project with the emphasis on one or more major tenants. o The provision of adequate parking (structured or surface) and supporting infrastructure to meet the needs of the proposed development. o Project to be located within the CBD Zoning District within 2 blocks of Atlantic Avenue. o Project to favor high-end market as opposed to service and convenience but not to their exclusion. o The CRA may offer incentives (i.e., provision of parking and off-site infrastructure) to attract major tenant(s) o Phase One of the project shall be preliminary planning, feasibility studies, market research and marketing (i.e., attracting one or more major tenants) o Phase Two may include but not be limited to the solicitation of RFP's from private developers, selection of project developers, design of the project, project economic feasibility studies, advertisement for disposition of property to be acquired by the CRA for the implementation and construction of the project. o Phase Three would include but not be limited to the implementation of project development including the acquisition and disposition of property required for the project participation and the construction of the project and other matters. o Phase Four may include the expansion of structures for retail and/or office onto additional 4.12 properties lying within the defined project area, the providing of additional structure or surface parking, as well as additional infrastructure as required. Project Participants and Administration o The project will be administered and coordinated by the CRA o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, DDA, Atlantic Avenue Association, Parking Management Team, one or more Major Tenants and the Project Developer. Funding Sources o The CRA, and others as appropriate, shall provide the funding for Phase One of the project. o Funding sources for Phase Two shall be provided by the CRA and others as appropriate. o Funding sources for Phases Three and Four shall be provided by the developer selected for the project, the City of Delray Beach, CRA, DDA, and others as appropriate. Project Schedule o Phase 1 began in FY 1992/1993 o Phase Two will commence FY1994/1995. o Phase Three shall commence on the completion of Phase Two and the determination of feasibility for proceeding. o The schedule for Phase Four will be determined upon the completion of Phase Three. o The Phases set forth above are illustrative only and may be combined with one another as the circumstances dictate. # 2.4: "Downtown Mixed Use Redevelopment Project" Background Since its creation, the Community Redevelopment Agency has consistently made efforts to attract new businesses into Downtown Delray Beach. The economic importance of the Downtown and the need for major attractions and nighttime activity generators was well recognized in the 1986 Community Redevelopment Plan. The City, also realizing the importance of the CBD as a vital and competitive commercial marketplace, has included several policies in its Comprehensive Plan toward achieving that end. Blocks 77 and 85, located south of Atlantic Avenue, are situated between the F.E.C. Railroad tracks and S.E. 1st Avenue. The CRA began to plan acquisition of these blocks in 1991 for the purpose of locating a major cinema operator and mixed retail uses in the downtown area. This location was chosen because all the property was divided among only four owners on Block 77 and two owners on Block 85 (one of which is the City of Delray Beach). Additionally, large portions of the two blocks were undeveloped and the major property holding on Block 85 was in foreclosure. The situation changed in 1993 when a new 10-plex cinema was constructed at the Delray Mall, causing interest in a downtown cinema to fade. The CRA reevaluated the project and decided to proceed with property acquisition under the assumption that it could assemble the property and attract a developer interested in constructing a mixed-use project at the location. The CRA acquired the major parcel on Block 85, fronting Atlantic Avenue in December 1993 and additional vacant property in the rear in 1994. In early 1995, the CRA amended its strategy since developer interest in a large scale mixed-use project had not yet materialized. As part of this new strategy, 4.13 the CRA decided to solicit RFP's and offer its current property holdings on Block 85 for sale or lease. It is anticipated that redevelopment of these holdings along with planned redevelopment of the nearby Ocean City Lumber property will increase developer interest in a larger scale mixed-use project in this location. The CRA will continue to acquire additional property and to market this concept. Project Obiectives o Provide economic stimulation and investment in the CBD. o Improve marketability of the retail core. o Increase nighttime activity in the downtown o Provide housing opportunities in the downtown area o Eliminate slum and blighted conditions Project Description o Development of a mixed-use redevelopment project. o Project to be located within the Central Business District within Blocks #77 & 85. o Phase One of the project may include, but is not limited to, land acquisitions (refer to Appendix "D" for Land Acquisition Map), construction of building and site improvements, the solicitation of RFP's _ from potential buyers or tenants and sale or lease of some or all CRA property holdings on Block 85. o Phase Two may include but not be limited to the solicitation of RFP's from private developers, selection of project developers, design of the project, project economic feasibility studies, advertisement for disposition of any additional property to be acquired by the CRA for the implementation and construction of the project. o Phase Three would include but not be limited to the implementation of project development _ including any remaining property acquisitions and disposition of property required for the project participation and the construction of the project and other matters. o Phase Four may include the construction or expansion of structures, the providing of additional structure or surface parking, as well as additional infrastructure as required. o To attract major buyers, tenants and developers, the CRA may offer incentives (e.g. provision of parking and off-site infrastructure, financing packages, rent subsidies and sale or lease of land below market value). -- Project Participants and Administration o The project will be administered and coordinated by the CRA o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, DDA, the Chamber of Commerce, the Council of 100, Parking Management Team, Major Tenant(s) or Purchasers. and the Project Developer. - Funding Sources o The CRA and others, as appropriate, shall provide the funding for Phases One and Two of the project. o Funding sources for Phases Three and Four shall be provided by the developer selected for the project, the City of Delray Beach, CRA, DDA, and others as appropriate. Project Schedule · o The CRA acquired some of the block 85 properties in FY 1993/1994 o Sale or lease of some or all CRA property holdings on Block 85 in 1994/1995 o Phase Two will commehce FY1994/1995. o Phase Three shall commence on the completion of Phase Two and the determination of feasibility 4.14 -- for proceeding. o The schedule for Phase Four will be determined upon the completion of Phase Three. o The Phases set forth above are illustrative only and may be combined with one another as the circumstances dictate. # 2.5: "Block #76 & 884 Redevelopment" Background These blocks, located between N.E. 1st. Avenue and the FEC Railroad, between Atlantic Avenue and N.E. 1st. Street, are adjacent to the Old School Square Cultural Arts Center. This location makes this a principal area to take advantage of spin-off activity generated by the Center. Both blocks contain structures in deteriorated condition and uses which have a blighting influence on the surrounding area and are inconsistent with the ultimate goals and proposed image for the Pineapple Grove Neighborhood. The primary land use in Block #84 is the former home of the now defunct Ocean City Lumber Company. This property was purchased at an RTC auction in 1992 and is now planned for redevelopment by a private developer. A major obstacle to this "Ocean City Redevelopment" project is the lack of adequate parking in the immediate area. Since this is also a problem for Old School Square, the CRA decided to make this the major focus of its redevelopment effort within these two blocks. With this goal in mind, the Agency began its program with the purchase of another former Ocean City Lumber property offered at the RTC auction in 1992. This property is located in Block #76, which is ideally situated between Old School Square and the Ocean City Lumber Redevelopment Project (Block #84). In order to provide adequate parking for the area, the CRA plans to purchase additional property within Block #76, including the Pierce Tire property. It should also be noted, that this is one of the few locations which may take advantage of $500,000 of redevelopment seed money available under the Decade of Excellence Bond. In fact, the City has already allocated some of this seed money to reimburse the CRA for its prior purchase of the Ocean City Lumber property. The CRA has requested that the City allocate the remainder of these funds as necessary for the additional land purchases. Project Objectives o Eliminate the blighting influences within these blocks o Redevelop the blocks to take advantage of its prime location within the downtown area adjacent to Old School Square o Increase the economic vitality of the CBD through the attraction of new businesses o Provide parking for adjacent development and redevelopment Project Description o Construction of a parking lot to meet the needs of adjacent uses including Old School Square and the Ocean City Lumber Redevelopment Project. o The parking lot constructed on the project may be a municipal lot entirely for public use, may be sold or leased to private entities or may be a combination of both. Private users located in the Redevelopment Project may make arrangements to pay the CRA or other public or private entity a fee to lease or purchase enough parking spaces to meet City parking requirements for their use. o In addition to providing parking the CRA may offer other incentives to facilitate the redevelopment effort o One or more redevelopment projects located within this two block area which are compatible with Old School Square in theme (i.e., arts, crafts, cultural and entertainment). o Strong Pedestrian linkages to Old School Square, the downtown and the Pineapple Grove 4.15 Neighborhood will be established. o Phase One of the project(s) shall include preliminary planning, marketing and land acquisitions (refer to Appendix "D" for Land Acquisition Map) o Phase Two shall include demolition and parking lot construction o Phase Three for the project(s) may include, but is not limited to, the solicitation of RFP's from private developers, selection of developer(s), sale or lease of all or a portion of CRA owned property and building construction. Project Participants and Administration o The Ocean City Redevelopment Project (Block #84) will be administered by a private developer. o The CRA shall be the lead agency in the acquisition of land for parking lot construction in Block #76. o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, DDA, Chamber of Commerce, Council of 100, Parking Management Team, and other Developers. Funding Sources o The CRA, and others, as appropriate, shall provide the funding for Phases One and Two. o The City's funding role in Phase One shall be to allocate funds from the Pineapple Grove Redevelopment Seed Money to reimburse the CRA for property acquisition o Funding sources for Phase Three shall be determined o The CRA's Subsidized Loan Program and Business Development Program are available to provide additior~al assistance to property owners and businesses Project Schedule o Phase One began in FY 1991/1992 o Phase Two in FY 1994/1995 o Phase Three in FY 1994/1995 # 2.6: "South County Courthouse Expansion" Background The location of the South County Courthouse on West Atlantic Avenue was originally seen by the City as a significant opportunity to secure both public and private investment along this important corridor. Due to its potential as a catalyst project on the Avenue, the Courthouse became a cornerstone of the 1986 Community Redevelopment Plan. The City successfully lobbied the County to locate the facility in the City in 1986. In its 1986 agreement with the County, the City donated 6.8 acres of land for Phase I of the project and pledged, through the CRA, to acquire an adjacent block and then donate it to the County sometime after 1996 for expansion of the facility. The 8 million dollar South County Courthouse, Phase I, opened in August, 1990. Although Phase II of the project had not yet been programmed, through its inclusion in the County's 5-year Capital Improvements Program, the Community Redevelopment Agency has already acquired several properties within the expansion area. These include, the 7-Eleven/Coin Laundry (1987), a six-unit Apartment Complex (1987) and Boca Auto Parts (1991 ). In 1993, the County, City and CRA amended the interlocal agreement (see Appendix "C"). This amended agreement states that the CRA will transfer the southern portion of Block #51 (south of the east/west alleyway) by October 1994. The County expects to construct a parking lot on this property to meet both existing and future demands of the Courthouse. Since the County is now planning to construct 4.16 - additional courtrooms by completing interior improvements in the existing facility, the construction of this parking lot will be required earlier than originally expected. Also under this amended agreement, the CRA may now retain ownership of the northern portion of the Block until at least 2001. If the County does not request conveyance of this property by the 31st of December, 2002, for expansion of the courthouse through the construction of additional structures, the CRA will no longer be obligated to convey the property. Project Objectives o Improve the physical appearance of West Atlantic Avenue o Increase the level of activity in the area o Create spin-off opportunities for private sector redevelopment projects o Provide land for the County Courthouse parking expansion Project Description o Increasing activity at the South County Courthouse will require acquisition of the southern portion of Block #51 by the CRA in 1994 for construction of additional parking o The CRA's agreement with the County identifies the additional land to be acquired to be located between S.W. 1st. and S.W. 2nd. Avenue. o The CRA will demolish the existing structures on the southern portion of the block (south of the alley) and convey this property to the County by October 1994. o The City will convey the necessary road and alley rights-of-way o The County will construct the expansion of the Courthouse facilities and the required parking. o The CRA will retain ownership of the northern portion of the Block until the County requests it for construction of additional structures.

Please note that the CRA will receive annual payments from the Special Assessment district for the homeowner's participation in the project. # 2.9: "Pineapple Grove Main Street Program" Background This program represents the implementation of several strategies contained within the Pineapple Grove Neighborhood Plan. It is also an expansion of previous City and CRA efforts to improve the environment along the major retail corridor of the Neighborhood. In August, 1989, the City Commission approved a streetscape program for Pineapple Grove Way. Improvements included the creation of landscape intersection nodes, street trees within the sidewalks, and four pods to accommodate previously _ commissioned sculptures. In 1990, as an outgrowth of the City's program, the CRA funded the preparation of a prototype design for the 100 block of Pineapple Grove Way, including additional streetscape and facade improvements. When the block design was completed, preliminary estimates indicated that the overall construction cost of the proposed improvements would be very expensive. Although the neighborhood was generally enthusiastic and supportive of the plan, the downturn in the economic climate of the early 90's, _ made it impossible for the CRA to secure the required financial commitments from the businesses within the 100 block to participate in the program. Subsequently, the CRA was forced to put the project on hold. In 1992, the City completed the streetscape improvements to Pineapple Grove Way. These -- improvements provide the starting point for revitalization of the corridor. Another major improvement to the area was made in 1993 when the parking lot for the Post Office Shopping Center was reconstructed. The new design improved the internal traffic circulation system and added a significant amount of new -- landscaping. It is anticipated that further improvements as a result of existing development's compliance with the City's Landscape Code in October, 1993 are made. In 1994, the Pineapple Grove Main Street Program was born. Under a tremendous outpouring of community support and dedication to the program, the City was awarded the Main Street Designation by the State of Florida. Under this program, the effort to revitalize Pineapple Grove Way and the surrounding area has gained new momentum. Accordingly, the CRA's approach to redevelopment will be "- one of support and assistance to the local Main Street Organization. Program Objectives _ o Physical and economic revitalization of the Pineapple Grove Main Street area o Create an epicenter for future spin off revitalization efforts within the neighborhood. 4.18 Program Description o The Program may include, but is not limited to, the following elements: - Assist with formation of Pineapple Grove Main Street organization - CRA assistance to the above group to develop and implement a marketing program to attract new businesses which are compatible with the overall theme of the area {i.e. arts, crafts, entertainment and education). Securing tenants for large vacant buildings shall be 1st priority. - Development of a plan to relocate nonconforming or incompatible land uses - Work with Publix to meet its expansion needs or find suitable site for relocation. (Note: if Publix moves, then assist in finding a suitable replacement for existing space) - Work with the Post Office in its relocation or expansion efforts - Develop a program to increase security. - Develop a program to reduce loitering and assist the homeless. - Develop a Beautification Plan for the 1st four blocks of Pineapple Grove Way, including additional streetscape and facade improvements. (Note: this project may involve the refinement and expansion of the prototype block design.) Program Participants and Administration o The Project Manager for Pineapple Grove Maint Street, Inc. shall administer and coordinate the program. o The CRA may participate through the utilization of its unique powers and financial resources as appropriate for selected elements of the Program. o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, the Chamber of Commerce, Pineapple Grove Support Group and Other Private Property Owners. Funding Sources o The Pineapple Grove Main Street organization has received 3 years funding commitents from the City, CRA, DDA and local citizens. o The CRA Subsidized Loan Program is available to provide additional assistance to businesses and residents who wish to improve exterior conditions of their property Program Schedule o Implementation of Phase 1 to begin in FY 1993/1994 # 2.10: "Municipal Tennis Center Rehabilitation" This project was completed in FY 1994/1995 (See Appendix "E" for description of the project. Please note that the CRA has committed $481,000 of the capital funding for construction of the project. This money will be paid over a 13-year period toward the project's debt service (See Appendix "G" for a copy of the Interlocal Agreement). 4.19 # 2.11: "N. Federal Highway Improvement Program" Background The North Federal Highway (U.S. 1) commercial corridor is a major entrance to Delray Beach; therefore, many visitors experience it as a visual first impression of the City. In its current condition, this corridor presents a poor visual impression of the entire area. In general, the properties fronting along Federal Highway are used for small-scale strip commercial development with little sense of order. Additionally, due to age and obsolescence, there are a substantial number of structures which require major renovation and/or demolition; have inadequate parking facilities and have a negative economic impact and blighting influence on the area. The primary commercial zoning district is "GC- General Commercial", but several small "AC- Automotive Commercial" areas are scattered within the area. Business uses are varied throughout the area, consisting of retail, auto-related businesses, light industrial uses and restaurants. As a result of City annexations and recent changes in the Land Development Code, many of these businesses are now non- conforming land uses. Existing residential development within the area is located behind the commercial strip on the east side of the corridor. Although there are some multi-family units located within the area, single-family homes are the prevailing residential land use. Unfortunately, many of these homes are in poor condition, requiring substantial maintenance, repair and rehabilitation. In 1992, the City began efforts to improve the infrastructure in the area by paving streets and installing water and sewer service. In November, 1991, the City Commission reached a consensus that the CRA consider means to improve the North Federal Highway commercial corridor. This program, which was originally adopted by the CRA in 1992 as the "North Federal Highway Land Use Transition Program", was in response to the City's request. Program Objectives o Improve the visual appearance of the corridor o Reduce and eliminate marginal and inappropriate land uses. o Direct smaller business operations to more concentrated area. o Provide economic stimulation and investment in the area. o Creation of jobs. o Stabilize and preserve the residential neighborhoods through new development, redevelopment and the elimination of blight. Program Description o The Program is divided into two Phases o Phase 1 shall include preparation of a Redevelopment Program containing the following elements: - Inventory of all properties and identification of substandard, marginal and non-conforming land uses. - Recommendations on future land use - Methods of dealing with non-conforming land uses - Methods for conserving and upgrading appropriate uses - Methods of annexation of remaining County pockets in the area. - Infrastructure analysis - Identification of key properties for CRA acquisition, assembly and sale to private sector for redevelopment. - Preparation of a beautification plan. - Cost/Benefit analysis of program components 4.2O - Financial Plan, detailing total cost of the Program and methods of funding including utilization of all or part of TIF money within the area, bonding, borrowing, grants, etc. o Phase 2 shall be the implementation of the redevelopment program including the following: - Adoption of the program by City and amendment of City Comprehensive Plan where necessary for implementation. - Initiation of program components, including beautification plan - Creation of a North Federal Highway Business Association - CRA acquisition of key propedies where necessary - CRA Consolidation of smaller properties and sale to private sector for redevelopment as larger scale commercial or residential projects. Program Participants and Administration o The CRA will administer and coordinate the program. o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, Palm Beach County (for unincorporated pockets), Florida Department of Transportation (controls US-l), Developers, and Individual Property and Business Owners. Funding Sources o The CRA will provide the funding for Phase 1 of the program o Funding sources for phase two to be determined Project Schedule o Phase One: Begin in FY 1994/1995. o Phase Two: Implementation schedule to be determined after completion of phase one. # 2.12: "Old School Square Cultural Center" This project was completed (See Appendix "E" for description of the project. Please note that the CRA has committed to provide funding 0through loan guarantees, loans or grants for debt service on the loan for restoration of the 1926 building. # 2.13: "Mount Olive Redevelopment" Background Founded in 1896, Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church, which is located at the southwest corner of NW 1st Street and NW 4th Avenue, lies within "Redevelopment Area #1" as defined by the City of Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan. This section of West Atlantic Avenue is in the midst of a major redevelopment effort including the newly constructed Police Station, South County Courthouse, Tennis Center and Fire Station #1, as well as other current projects such as Peach Umbrella Plaza. Since the church already owns a substantial portion of Block 28 and several lots in Block 36, it is in a favorable position to provide a positive boost to the city's ongoing redevelopment efforts. The large size of its congregation necessitates the provision of substantial parking for Sunday services. This presents an opportunity to utilize the parking for other purposes during the week, thus increasing the overall redevelopment potential of the area. The Church's goals for redevelopment include expansion of its existing building with increased parking and the addition of a church supported community/educational center and an elderly housing project. The Church 4.21 is also preparing a design for the historic marker on N.W. 5th Avenue and anticipates the construction of a more extensive historic monument commemorating the founding of the Church in the near future. Mount Olive began construction of the Church building addition, new parking lots and upgrading its existing parking lots in 1993. In 1993, the Church acquired a small building on N.W. 5th Avenue which is proposed for a Youth or Community Center. The CRA gave the Church a $14,000 "Site Development Assistance" Grant in 1993, with the stipulation that the Church would paint and landscape the exterior of the building. Project Objectives o Removal of slum and blighted conditions o Provision of additional parking opportunities for Peach Umbrella Plaza and the surrounding area. This may enable expansion of Peach Umbrella Plaza o Provision of church supported elderly housing o Provision of additional community recreational facilities by the church o Revival of the historic significance of the area Project Description o The redevelopment project area may include, but is not limited to portions of Blocks 20, 28 and 36. o Expansion of the church and parking facilities o Construction of additional features or expansion of the monument area to commemorate the historical importance of the area o The construction of elderly housing units o The construction of a community/educational center o The project shall be divided three phases o Phase 1 shall include identification of property to be acquired, planning, marketing and economic feasibility. o Phase 2 shall include property acquisition by the Church or the CRA as required to implement the project o Phase 3 shall include, but is not limited to, sale of any CRA acquired properly and construction Project Participants and Administration o The Church, through close cooperation with the CRA shall take the lead role in the redevelopment effort. o The CRA may participate through utilization of its unique powers and financial resources as it deems appropriate to implement the project. o Other participants in the project may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, and the Delray Merchants Association Funding Sources o The Church, CRA and others, as appropriate shall provide the funding for Phases 1 and 2 of the project o Funding for Phase 3 to be determined Project Schedule o Phase 1 began in 1992 · o Phase 2 began in 1993 o Schedule for Phase 3 to be determined 4.22 # 2.14: "Downtown Core Improvement Program" Background The downtown core, between Swinton Avenue and the Intracoastal Waterway, has been in the midst of a major revitalization effort for several years. The Atlantic Avenue Beautification Project has contributed to the overall charm and appeal of the area for the pedestrian shopper. Other projects for the area contained within this CRA Plan or the City's Comprehensive Plan are geared to stimulate additional investment in the downtown by improving marketability. This program is designed to build upon previous efforts and set the stage for future initiatives to improve the downtown core as a center of business and social activity. Program Objectives o Provide economic stimulation and increase investment in the downtown core o Increase nighttime activity o Improve visual appearance of existing structures and pedestrian accesses to parking areas o Strengthen the relationship between parking areas and destinations for downtown workers and visitors o Improve perceptions of nighttime safety for downtown visitors Program Description o The program may include, but is not limited to, the following elements: - Creation of a Downtown Historic District - Development of a uniform sign program and exterior facade design guidelines for the District - Formation of a "Downtown Joint Venture" with DDA, AAA and the Chamber of Commerce to fund a downtown management program with a full-time manager. (See agreement in Appendix "F") - As an enhancement to the City's CBD Alleyway Program the CRA shall coordinate with the City to develop Design Plans and implement additional improvements to upgrade municipal parking lots and provide pedestrian access to parking through alleyways. CRA funded improvements may include, but are not limited to, landscaping, lighting, signage and special paving where appropriate to denote rear shop entrances and pedestrian circulation. - Designation of a downtown valet parking zone for nighttime activities - Creation of a downtown sidewalk vendors program including license requirements and provisions for both temporary and permanent structures - Building facade improvements utilizing Historic Facade Easement Program - Preparation of a Riverwalk Plan for the waterfront between Veterans' Park and the City Marina (Note: Construction of the Riverwalk is an unfunded Project. Completion of the Plan is not a guarantee of future funding) Program Participants and Administration o The CRA shall administer and coordinate the program o Other padicipants in the program may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, DDA, Atlantic Avenue Association, Chamber of Commerce and the Council of 100 Funding Sources o The CRA, DDA, Chamber of Commerce and others, as appropriate shall provide the funding for the project 4.23 Program Schedule o This Program began in 1992 o Downtown Joint Venture was formed on January 13, 1993 o CRA funded improvements were made to lwo downtown Municipal parking lots (Blocks 92 & 109) in FY 1992/1993. ~- o Renovation of the Bridge Tender's house was completed in 1993. # 2.15: "Block ~ Redevelopment" Background This Block lies in a strategic location between lwo major redevelopment projects on Atlantic Avenue, the Municipal Tennis Center/City Hall and Old School Square. With the large sums of money involved in these two projects, it is imperative that development in this block does not detract from the overall redevelopment effort. Unfortunately, at the present time, the overall appearance of the block is a blight to the area. Existing land uses consist of poor quality residential duplex units, vacant commercial structures, vacant property, and several single family residences, some of which are in a state of severe blight. Given the prime location and condition of existing property, this block is now ripe for redevelopment. In fact, one of the single family residences, "Tarrimore", has already been acquired for conversion to a high-quality restaurant, now operating as "Damiano's". In 1992, the owner of the Tarrimore property approached the CRA and suggested a redevelopment concept for the northern part of block 60. This concept included the construction of a parking lot and the conversion of one blighted single family home to commercial use. Additionally, two historic houses could be moved to the block and converted to governmental or commercial use. It was also anticipated that the parking lot would service the three remaining single family homes on the block if they should convert to non-residential uses. In 1993, the CRA further developed the concept for the Block. The State of Florida awarded the City a $242,800 "Historic Preservation Grant" to rehabilitate two historic structures which were originally located in the Hillcrest Neighborhood of West Palm Beach. These two historic structures were moved to their permanent site fronting Swinton Avenue in June 1994. One of the structures is currently utilized for the CRA's Offices and the other will be sold to the City of Delray Beach who intends tolease it to the State Preservation Office. Having additional governmental uses in close proximity to the City Hall complex is consistent with the City's plan of a governmental campus. The concept fits very well into an overall redevelopment scheme for the block. This scheme would ideally contain a commercial or governmental use(s) fronting on Atlantic Avenue, a common parking lot in the center of the block, and non-residential conversions of single family houses surrounding the parking lot. Another advantage of this concept is that the parking lot would also be used to meet the demands for Old School Square, the Community Center and the Tennis Center. Project Obiectives o Elimination of blighting influences o Redevelopment of the Block to take advantage of its prime location o Increase in economic vitality through attraction of new business o Expand the concept of the governmental campus o Encourage conversion of existing single family homes to non-residential uses o Encourage historic preservation in the OSSHAD zoning district 4.24 Project Description o Redevelopment compatible with Old School Square, City Hall and the Municipal Tennis Center o Strong Pedestrian linkages to Old School Square and the Tennis Center will be established. o Construction of a parking lot on the property containing the four existing duplexes and adjacent vacant property on N.W. 1 st Avenue to serve the non-residential conversions on the block as well as the parking demands for City Hall, Old School Square, the Community Center and the Municipal Tennis Center. o The existing duplexes may be moved to another location to provide additional affordable housing in the community. The CRA may sell, donate or move the structures itself. o In addition to providing parking the CRA may offer other incentives to facilitate the redevelopment effort. o Elements of the project may include, but are not limited to, planning, marketing, land acquisitions (Refer to Appendix "D" for Land Acquisition Map), demolition, parking lot construction, sale or lease of CRA owned property, including the two historic houses, and construction/use-conversions. o Additionally, the two historic houses which were moved from West Palm Beach and located in the project are being rehabilitated and converted for public use. o The parking lot constructed on the project may be a municipal lot entirely for public use, may be sold or leased to private entities or may be a combination of both. Private users located in the Redevelopment Project may make arrangements to pay the CRA or other public or private entity a fee to lease or purchase enough parking spaces to meet City parking requirements for their use. Project Particip. ants and Administration o The CRA shall be the lead agency in the acquisition of land demolition, parking lot construction and rehabilitation of the relocated historic houses. o Commercial conversion of the remaining houses surrounding the new parking lot will be administered by the private sector. o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, Chamber of Commerce, Parking Management Team and the State of Florida Division of Historic Resources. Funding Sources o The CRA and others, as appropriate, shall provide the funding for the project. o The CRA's Subsidized Loan Program, Historic Facade Easement Program and Business Development Program are available to provide additional assistance to property owners and businesses within the redevelopment project o State of Florida Division of Historical Resources and other public or private sources dedicated to historic preservation Project Schedule o Planning began in FY 1992/1993 o Acquisition of property and construction of parking lot in FY 1994/1995. o Relocate two historic houses to project and complete historic restoration in FY 1994/1995. # 2.16: "Block #61 (Atlantic Ave. Frontage) Redevelopment" Background This block is located adjacent to the proposed site for expansion of the South County Courthouse and is opposite Old School Square and the Municipal Tennis Center. As with Block #60, its location makes it imperative that it does not detract from the overall redevelopment efforts in the area. Therefore, it is 4.25 unfortunate that vacant structures, including a defunct gas station at the intersection of Swinton Avenue and Atlantic have a blighting influence on the area. Since the gas station is nonconforming with respect to the City's zoning code and cannot be reopened, redevelopment or use conversion is the only option. With the remainder of the frontage also in poor condition, it appears that the best solution is to redevelop the entire frontage. Project Objectives o Elimination of blighting influences o Redevelopment of the Atlantic Avenue frontage to take advantage of its prime location o Increase in economic vitality through attraction of new business Project Description o Redevelopment compatible with Old School Square, South County Courthouse and the Municipal Tennis Center o Elements of the project shall include, but are not limited to, planning, marketing, land acquisitions (refer to Appendix "D" for Land Acquisition Map), solicitation of RFP's from private developers, selection of developer, sale of the CRA acquired property and construction of the project. Project Participants and Administration o The CRA shall be the lead agency in the acquisition of land and demolition. o Redevelopment of the property will be administered by the private sector. o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, and Chamber of Commerce. Funding Sources o The CRA and others, as appropriate, shall provide the funding for site acquisition and demolition. o Redevelopment of the property shall be funded by the private sector but the CRA may provide additional assistance to facilitate the effod o The CRA's Subsidized Loan Program and Business Development Program are available to provide additional assistance to businesses Project Schedule o Project to begin in FY 1995/1996. # 2.17: "Peach Umbrella Plaza I1: A West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Effort" Background This program is an extension of the public/private redevelopment concept represented by Peach Umbrella PlaTa. Although additional opportunities exist for private redevelopment of existing structures and vacant property along West Atlantic Avenue, it is difficult for the private sector to initiate such efforts without public assistance. This program represents the CRA's intent to provide this assistance. Program Objectives o Eliminate blighted conditions along West Atlantic Avenue 4.26 o Encourage minority business development o Creation of jobs Program Description o Redevelopment projects shall be joint public/private ventures between the CRA and private developers o Projects will be developed consistent with the Redevelopment Plan for the West Atlantic Avenue corridor. o A major component of the program shall be site acquisition, assembly and resale for redevelopment. The CRA may also acquire property for construction of centralized parking facilities to service the surrounding areas. The parking lots constructed under this program may be municipal lots entirely for public use, may be sold or leased to private entities or may be a combination of both. Private users located in the surrounding areas may make arrangements to pay the CRA or other public or private entity a fee to lease or purchase enough parking spaces to meet City parking requirements for their use. o The target area for the above CRA property acquisitions shall be 300 feet north and south of the West Atlantic Avenue right-of-way, east of 1-95 (refer to Appendix "D" for Land Acquisition Map). o The CRA may also utilize properly exchanges, whereby a property owner who wishes to develop, may exchange his property for CRA property located in another area. This would allow consolidation of similar types of development as well as provide opportunities for larger assemblages of vacant property to be made. o The CRA may offer additional incentives, such as demolition, and infrastructure improvements, on a case-'by-case basis to further assist in the redevelopment effort. Such additional assistance shall be at the discretion of the CRA Board. Program Participants and Administration o The project will be administered and coordinated by the CRA o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City, Visions West Atlantic Steering Committee, the Minority Business Development Center, Parking Management Team, Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce, Delray Merchants Association, Properly Owners and Project Developer(s). Funding Sources o The CRA and others, as appropriate, shall provide the funding for the program o The CRA's Subsidized Loan Program and Business Development Program are available to provide additional assistance to businesses within individual redevelopment projects. Program Schedule o Program to begin in FY 1994/1995. # 2.18: "Sth Street (Tenneco Site) Redevelopment" Background This redevelopment project is located on the north side of NE 8th Street, between the Dixie Hwy and Federal Hwy, the U.S.1 one-way pairs. The site currently contains a defunct Tenneco Gas Station and represents a blight to the community at a major roadway intersection of the City. In addition to removing a blighting influence, redevelopment of this site also presents the opportunity to beautify the intersection and to improve the parking/access for the property to the north. 4.27 Proiect Objectives o Elimination of blighting influence o Beautification of a major roadway intersection o Improve access and parking for the adjacent property Project Description o The Project may include, but is not limited to the following elements: planning, marketing, land _ acquisition (refer to Appendix "D" for Land Acquisition Map), demolition, parking lot construction, installation of landscaping, and the sale or lease of the CRA acquired property. It should be noted that acquisition of the property by the CRA will not take place until its resale or lease can be reasonably anticipated. - o VVhen sold, property may be subject to a beautification easement for areas adjacent to adjoining roadways Project Participants and Administration o The CRA shall be the lead agency in the acquisition of land and building demolition. o Lead responsibility for redevelopment to be determined, but shall be a joint public/private effort including the CRA o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, Chamber of Commerce, the Parking Management Team and Private Enterprise. Funding Sources o The CRA and others, as appropriate, shall provide the funding for the project. o After the property is sold, the CRA Subsidized Loan Program will be available to provide additional assistance to the property owner for redevelopment Project Schedule o Project began in FY 1993/1994 C. GROUP "3": COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT # 3.1: "CRA Subsidized Loan Program" Background After receiving various proposals from a number of banks relative to providing Iow interest loans _ for private residential and commercial property improvements as part of their obligations under the Community Reinvestment act, the CRA Board decided to request specific proposals and interest rates. The intent was to develop a pool of money from one or more banks which could be used to provide loans to Community Redevelopment Area residents. As an incentive and inducement for property owners to -- improve and upgrade their property, the CRA decided to assist them by buying down the interest and making no-interest loans available through the lending institutions. On August 27, 1990 the CRA board amended its Community Redevelopment Plan through Resolution No. 90-A to provide for the implementation of the program to subsidize the interest on loans used to enhance or upgrade the exterior of privately owned properties within the Community _ Redevelopment Area. This action was further supported through adoption of Resolution No. 86-90 by the 4.28 City Commission. After development of the criteria for the program and negotiations with the lending institution, the CRA entered into an agreement with First Union National Bank as the lender and the City of Delray Beach as the dispersing agent. The program originally called for a maximum CRA commitment for FY 90/91 of $100,000 to fund the program. To further reinfome investment within the Community Redevelopment Area, the program has been expanded to include provisions for business loans and permanently fixed interior improvements for non- residential structures. Additionally, the loan sudsidy may now be used to reduce the principal amount of the loan as an alternative to prepaying the interest. Four additional banks joined the program and signed agreements in 1993. Banyan Bank committed $100,000 in loans, Equity Bank committed $300,000, Barnett Bank committed $1,000,000, and AmTrust Bank committed $500,000. Program Objectives o To enhance the physical appearance of the CRA District o To eliminate and prevent the spread of slum and blighted conditions o Create incentive for spin-off investment within the Area. o Increase investment within current CRA projects o Stimulate new business activity Program Description o Subsidized Loan pool available as follows: - to residents, property owners and businesses of the CRA to make exterior property improvements; - to businesses to make permanently fixed interior improvements; and, - to landlords/building owners to make permanently fixed interior improvements in preparation for lease to business tenants or to make small additions to their structures as part of a business expansion. o Implementation of improvements to be administered by the City's Community Improvements Depadment. o The CRA Board will maintain Policy guidelines regarding loan limits, subsidy levels, project eligibility and list of qualified improvements. Program Participants and Administration o The program will be administered and coordinated by the CRA o Other participants include: one or more Financial Lending Institutions, Loan applicants, and the City of Delray Beach Funding Sources o The CRA provided an initial $100,000 allocation FY 1990/1991 o Additional program allocations shall be determined annually during the budget process or at the discretion of the CRA on an as-needed basis to maintain the loan pool. o Grants Program Schedule o The Program was implemented in FY 1990/1991 4,29 # 3.2: "Site Development Assistance Program" Background In 1991, the City of Delray Beach requested that the CRA provide funds for the removal and relocation of power poles, which due to the design of the Walgreens redevelopment project would obstruct .- on-site traffic flow. Although the City has its own program to accomplish this action, it was felt that the CRA should pay since the project was located within the Community Redevelopment Area and the CRA would receive substantial benefits from the project in TIF revenues. The CRA agreed and subsequently amended its Redevelopment Plan to include a program for the removal of power poles and other obstructions from travelways within the Community Redevelopment Area. At that time, the program funding was limited to $3,500 which was the cost of the Walgreens project. In order to assist private sector redevelopment efforts, the CRA expanded its program. Through an annual allocation of funds, the CRA may now provide limited assistance for site development on a case- by case basis for private development and redevelopment projects, including site design and engineering. _ Program Objectives o Encourage private redevelopment initiatives by providing assistance to overcome technical, administrative and economic obstacles to the site development of CRA selected projects within the Community Redevelopment Area. Program Desct'iption o Use of the allocated funds for individual projects shall be solely at the discretion of the CRA. _ o Use of Loans, Grants and direct contracting of work by the CRA for site development purposes o In order to preserve the City's historic heritage, the CRA may provide grants for the relocation of historic structures. These grants shall be paid to the property owner in annual installments, equal to a percentage of the Tax Increment Revenue received by the CRA due to the increased -- assessment on the property where the structure has been relocated to. The CRA Board will maintain Policy guidelines regarding grant limits, annual payment amounts (based on percentage of TIF revenue), and time frame over which grant is to be paid. _ o In order to assist larger redevelopment projects, the CRA may also provide the following: - grants to developers paid in annual installments, equal to a percentage of the Tax Increment Revenue received by the CRA due to the increased assessment on the property. - credit enhancement to developers wherein the CRA pledges its full faith and credit to the developer's lender for payment of a portion of the loan. The enhancement may be a percentage of the loan amount or may be a pledge to provide adequate debt service -- coverage. - In order to quality for either the grant or the credit enhancement, a redevelopment project must reinforce the overall CRA redevelopment effort. This may occur by creating jobs, _ increasing surrounding properly values, preserving a historical structure, providing a cultural amenity or by any other means approved by the CRA Board. - The CRA Board will maintain Policy guidelines regarding grant limits, annual payment amounts (based on percentage of TIF revenue), and time frame over which grant is to be -- paid. - The CRA Board will maintain Policy guidelines regarding credit enhancement including the amount, time limitations and other issues. _ Program Participants and Administration o The program is administered by the CRA. 4.30 o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, Property Owners and Project Developers. Funding Sources o The CRA will provide the funding for the program. o Program allocations shall be determined annually during the budget process or at the discretion of the CRA. Program Schedule o Program implemented in FY 1991/1992. # 3.3: "Community Activities Sponsorship Program" Background Since its creation, in 1985, the Community Redevelopment Agency has been asked to participate in and/or provide funding for a number of community events and projects. Since the programs and projects of the CRA have a direct impact on the residents of the district, the CRA must consider the problems, needs and desires of the people in its project decision-making process. Therefore, it is important to maintain an open line of communication between the agency and the residents. Expenditures for community projects and events which further the goals of the CRA are necessary from time to time in order to maintain and promote the CRA's role in community redevelopment. Program Objectives o Maintain a positive and involved role within the community. o Further the goals of the CRA through participation Program Description o Promote and sponsor community events, projects and programs which will lead to stabilization and expansion of the economic environment within commercial areas, revitalization and rehabilitation of the existing housing supply or further other basic goals of the CRA. Program Participants and Administration o The project will be administered by the CRA. o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, Community Groups and Organizations, Public Bodies and Private not-for-profit corporations. Fundinq Sources o The CRA will provide the funding for the program. o Program allocations shall be determined annually during the budget process or at the discretion of the CRA but shall not exceed $10,000 per fiscal year. 4.31 Program Schedule o Program was implemented FY 1991/1992 # 3.4: 'Delray Beach Trolley System .... Background In 198§, the Atlantic Avenue Task Force presented a report to the City Commission which outlined a list of proposed physical improvements along the Atlantic Avenue Corridor. One of the improvements discussed was the use of a tram system to connect the downtown area to A1A. The notion of a downtown shuttle was furthered in the City's Comprehensive Plan, which states that the City will develop a program for an in-town shuttle system which links the rail stations, the central business district, the beach, waterway access points, parking areas, community facilities and addresses needs of the elderly. It is hoped that development of a trolley system will significantly bolster downtown revitalization efforts. By providing a direct link to the rail station and the beach, the trolley will greatly increase the accessibility of the downtown to the residential neighborhoods east of 1-95 and others who may wish to utilize the Tri-Rail system for a day at the beach, to visit Old School Square or to shop in downtown Delray. In 1992, the CRA commissioned FAU/FIU Joint Center for Environmental and Urban Problems to give its recomm'endations on the development and operation of a trolley system in Delray. The report, entitled, "A Downtown Trolley: An Alternative Transpodation Mode in the City of Delray Beach", recommended a three trolley fare-free system operating Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m While the cost for a system of this type is beyond the reach of the CRA at this time, it is hoped that the system could become feasible sometime in the near future with additional public and private funding sources. In the meantime, the CRA will continue to build support for the system by providing trolleys on a limited basis at special events. Program Objectives o Develop an alternative means of transportation between the Tri-rail station and the beach along Atlantic Avenue. o Increase market appeal of the downtown, both to visitors and to new business Program Description o The program shall be divided into two phases. o Phase One shall include the following: - The CRA shall provide limited trolley service at special events, on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the CRA Board; and, - The City shall be the lead agency in development of the full-scale program, {See City Comprehensive Plan Policy A-1.3. The CRA will work with the City to develop this program. Additionally, the CRA will coordinate with the COTRANS plan to expand service throughout the county, including Delray Beach in 1996. o VVhen it becomes feasible, Phase Two shall be implementation of a full scale system. Program Participants and Administration o Participants in the project may include, but are not limited to, the City, CRA, DDA and the Chamber of Commerce. 4.32 -- Funding Sources o Funding for operation of limited, special event trolleys shall be by the CRA, and others as appropriate. o Funding sources for a full scale system shall be determined. Program Schedule o Phase One began in FY 1991/1992 o Schedule for Phase 2 to be determined. # 3.5: "Business Development Program" Background Increasing economic activity within the Community Redevelopment Area is a major objective of the overall Community Redevelopment Program. Investments by the CRA which result in increased business opportunities have positive impacts on employment, the tax base, and the physical environment, all of which are positive steps toward the elimination of slum and blighted conditions. Many other CRA programs are aimed at increasing economic activity within the CRA district. The purpose of this "Business Development Program" is to provide a means to focus the effort. The primary goal of the program is to facilitate small business development Within the Community Redevelopment Area. Types of businesses to be encourag6d include artist studios, galleries, craft shops, specialty shops and other unique businesses which add vitality, attract visitors and help Delray to find its hitch in the market. The program will encourage and assist businesses by providing assistance during the crucial first year of operation or expansion. The program Will provide additional benefits to the local economy by helping to eliminate some of the vacant commercial space Within the area. This not only improves the overall appearance of the area, but also contributes toward the development of a critical mass of activity, whereby individual businesses draw additional customers for each other. Program Objectives o Provide economic stimulation to the area o Increase business opportunities o Increase employment opportunities o Decrease unoccupied commercial space within the area o Prevent the spread of slum and blighted conditions Program Description o Provide business rental subsidies for the first year of multi-year leases. - Although at the discretion of the CRA, generally the rental subsidy shall not be given when total rent, including subsidy exceeds the fair market rent for the area. o Additional items toward which financial support may be given include, but are not limited to, security deposits, last month rental deposit, utility deposits, advertisement, signage, licenses, and legal assistance. o The CRA Board shall maintain policy guidelines regarding types of assistance, funding limits and eligibility requirements. o Although the CRA shall make its decision on a case-by-case basis, generally assistance shall not be given for uses which do not reinforce and further the redevelopment strategy and goals for the geographic sub-area in which they are located or are non-conforming with regards to the City's Land Development Regulations. 4.33 o Provide small business loans at below market interest rates through a community lending program. - This loan fund will be funded through grant monies obtained from Local, County, State and Federal Agencies, Private Foundations, Corporations and Individuals - The CRA may enter into a local partnership will other governmental agencies, non-profits and financial institutions. - The CRA may also form a non-profit lending institution called a "Community Development Loan Fund" for the purposes of administering this loan program - The CRA Board, together with any partnership organizations, if applicable, will maintain policy guidelines for the loan program including, but not limited to, loan limits, project eligibility and application requirements. These guidelines will apply to CRA funds. Program Participants and Administration o The program will be administered and coordinated by the CRA o Other participants include Local, County, State and Federal Agencies, non-profits, Private Foundations, businesses and landlords Funding Sources o The CRA will fund the Program in FY 1994/1995 Program Schedule o The Prdgram is to be implemented in FY 1994/1995. # 3.6: "Historic Facade Easement Program" Background The preservation of historic structures in the Community Redevelopment Area is a major objective of the overall redevelopment program. Historic preservation is important both economically and culturally and is an important tool for eliminating slum and blighted conditions. Historic downtowns are generally more successful if their buildings are preserved, rather than demolished. A well preserved historic downtown can be marketed as a unique place for people to work, shop, eat and congregate. This enhances the social and economic vitality of the areaand increases the property tax base. Many CRA programs and projects can utilize historic preservation as a redevelopment tool. The CRA, through this "Historic Facade Easement Program", may purchase the facade of a historic structure for a portion of the cost of exterior improvements. Not only does this benefit the property owner by allowing him to initiate the improvements at a fraction of the total cost, it also benefits the public by improving the appearance of the building in particular, the area in general and in preserving a historic structure as a linkage to the past. The building owner is required to designate the building as a historic site with the City of Delray Beach and the CRA retains ownership and architectural control of the historic facade in perpetuity. A recent example of a historic easement that the CRA purchased was the Flamingo Gas Station, located at 301 East Atlantic Avenue. This $25,000 facade easement was one component in the successful renovation and adaptive re-use of the historic structure from a defunct gas station to a restaurant. The owner renovated the facade, made substantial site and interior improvements and added an outdoor dining area. The City's Historic Preservation Board provided an informal approval of the project. 4.34 Project Objectives o Provide economic stimulation to the area through renovation o Promote historic preservation o Encourage adaptive re-use of historic buildings o Eliminate blighted exterior facades o Prevent the spread of slum and blighted conditions o Increase employment and business opportunities o Decrease unoccupied or underutilized commercial space within the area o Stabilize and Increase the property tax base Project Description o Provide capital to property owners to renovate historic structures through the purchase of a facade easement. The purchase money would be tied to the renovation of the facade. o A Property Owner utilizing the program would have his building designated a historic site as set forth in the City's Land Development Regulations (Section 4.5.1) o All historic structures within the community redevelopment area could be considered for the program including those historic structures that have been moved from outside the area. o Purchase of historic easements will be considered by the CRA on a case-by-case basis and subject to available funding. o Facade easement purchase money may be used as a matching fund for other grant funding. o The facade easement is superior to any mortgages o The CRA retains architectural control over the facade o The building owner is responsible for maintenance of the facade improvements, Program Participants and Administration o The program will be administered and coordinated by the CRA o Other participants include the City, the Historic Preservation Board and Property Owners Funding Sources o The CRA will provide the funding for the program o Program allocations shall be determined annually during the budget process or at the discretion of the CRA. o Other funding sources include public and private entities which provide grants for historic preservation Program Schedule o The program will be implemented in FY 1994/1995 4.35 IV. Program of Regulatory Actions The following section describes the changes to existing City regulations that will be required to implement the Community Redevelopment Plan. Unless otherwise described below or on Figure 5, building height, density, setbacks, and site development requirements are intended to remain as they presently exist in the various City zoning districts and future land uses, including "Open Space" are to be consistent with the City's Future Land Use Plan and the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Element policies. A. Comprehensive Plan Amendments 1. Amend the Traffic Element to allow lower Level of Service on City roadways indicated in the GAE. Completion of this item is anticipated in 1996 under the new TCEA process, 2. Amend L.U.E, Policy # C-4.8(b) to allocate the Pineapple Grove "redevelopment seed money" specifically for the CRA Block #76 & 84 Redevelopment Project. 3. Amend L.U.E. Policy # C-2.4 to change the completion date for the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan to FY 1994/1995. B, Amendments to the Land Development Regulations 1. Amend applicable sections to allow redevelopment of residential projects or the residential 'component of mixed-use projects to a maximum of 30 units per acre, within the CBD. Note: Land Use Element Policy A-5.13 of City Plan Amendment 92-2 directs that such an amendment be made to the CBD Zone District. This LDR amendment is being evaluated as a part of the TCEA process. It is anticipated that the City will adopt regulations in 1996. 2. Amend the CBD district regulations to allow certain light industrial uses within the area designated as the "Pineapple Grove Business Park" within the GAE "Village Center Scenario". The new CBD-RC zoning district addresses this issue. 4.36 1 Increase Allowable Residential Density to 30 DU/AC REGULATORY ACTIONS COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FIGURE 5 ~E C~Y ~ ~AY BE~ ~VEL~ENT V.

Sources of Redevelopment Funding and Financing The following section provides a general review of potential sources of funding for redevelopment programs, and a description of the funding sources applicable to each of the improvements or projects identified in the plan. In general, a variety of financing options are presently available to the Community _ Redevelopment Agency and the City of Delray Beach. Among these are the following: A. Tax Increment Revenues Tax Increment Revenue is typically the major source of funding for redevelopment projects under 4.38 -- the State of Florida Community Redevelopment Act. This increment, which is determined annually, is equal to 95% of the difference between: the amount of ad valorem taxes levied each year by each applicable taxing authority on taxable real property within the Community Redevelopment Area; and, the amount of ad valorem taxes that would have been produced by the current millage rates prior to establishment of the Redevelopment Trust Fund. Both of these amounts are exclusive of debt service millage of the taxing authorities. The ability of the Community Redevelopment Agency to utilize this funding method requires two key actions: o The establishment of a redevelopment trust fund as required by FS 163.387 as the repository for increment tax funds, and; o The provision, by ordinance of the City, for the funding of the redevelopment trust fund for the duration of the Community Redevelopment Plan. B. Redevelopment Revenue Bonds The provisions of F.S.163.385 allow the City of Delray Beach or Community Redevelopment Agency to issue "Revenue Bonds" to finance redevelopment actions, with the security for such bonds being based on the "anticipated assessed valuation of the completed community redevelopment." In this way, the additional annual taxes generated within the Community Redevelopment Area, the "tax increment", is used to finance the long term bond debt. Prior to the issuance of long term revenue bonds, the City or Community Redevelopment Agency may issue bond anticipation notes to provide up-front funding for redevelopment actions until sufficient tax increment funds are available to amortize a bond issue. C. General Revenue Bonds For the purposes of financing redevelopment actions, The City of Delray may also issue General Obligation Bonds. These bonds are secured by debt service millage on the real property within the City and must receive voter approval. The existing "Decade of Excellence Program", which includes may redevelopment initiatives, is funded, in part, by a 21.5 million dollar 1990 General Obligation Bond. D. Special Assessment Districts The City of Delray Beach could also establish special assessment districts for the purpose of funding various neighborhood improvements within an area or for the construction of a particular project. This funding mechanism was utilized in 1994 whereby a Special Assessment District was set up so that each of the property owner's in the Banker's Row project could be assessed annually over a 10-year period for their share of the cost in the project. E. Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) Between 1985 and September 30, 1993, the City of Delray Beach received $3,761,000 in CDBG grant funds directly from the Federal Government to improve the area designated as the "Community Development Target Area". These CDBG monies are committed to demolition of substandard housing units, housing rehab assistance, and home ownership assistance within the target area which includes much of the Community Redevelopment Area. Over 99% of the total funds expended have been for the benefit of Iow and moderate income residents. Given the City's goal to improve housing opportunities and the existing housing stock for Iow and moderate income residents, approximately $1,385,000 or 50% of the CDBG grant funds have been used to rehabilitate 80 owner-occupied housing units within the target area. F. Industrial Revenue Bonds (IRB) Industrial revenue bonds may be used to finance industrial, and some commercial projects. The 4.39 primary emphasis on such projects is the creation of jobs, and as a consequence speculative ventures are not normally financed by this means. Such bonds are typically issued by the County, with repayment pledged against the revenues of the private enterprise being funded. IRB's are tax exempt and consequently are typically 3 percentage points below prevailing interest rates. Such financing has been used effectively in South Florida. G. Land Sales/Leases Acquisition of property, and its preparation for development are powers available to the Community Development Agency under provisions of F.S. 163. The resale or leasing of such land to private developers can provide another source of income within the Community Redevelopment Area. H. Contributions and Grants Voluntary contributions by private companies, foundations and individuals is a potential source of income to the Community Redevelopment Agency. Although such contributions may only account for a small portion of redevelopment costs, they do provide opportunities for community participation with positive promotional benefits. I. Urban Development Action Grants (UDAG) This is one of several grant programs at the Federal level designed to fund private development through leveraged public investment. The Auburn Trace Project in the southwest section of the Community Redevelopment'Area was partially funded through this type of grant. Due to cutbacks in Federal funding and the anticipated scale of redevelopment in the City of Delray Beach, this is not considered a strong source of funds at this time J. Safe Neighborhoods Act - Chapter 163.502 FS Neighborhood Improvement Districts created pursuantto the Act may request a planning grant from the state's Safe Neighborhood Trust Fund on a 100% matching basis. The District may also be authorized to levy an ad valorem tax of up to 2 mills annually on real and personal property. K. Direct Borrowing From Commercial Lenders The CRA is also authorized to fund redevelopment projects and programs through direct borrowing of funds. Depending on the particular project(s) funding requirements, the CRA may utilize both short and long term borrowing. Although terms and conditions may have a direct bearing on use of a particular commercial lending institution, the CRA will generally attempt to attain the lowest available interest rate. 4.40 -- VII. Revenue Projections Table 4-2 provides a five-year projection of revenues available for CRA redevelopment programs. The primary funding source for CRA activities is the Redevelopment Trust Fund. This Fund is the depository for all TIF revenues generated within the Community Redevelopment Area. Based on estimates of the current property valuations, and assuming the historic annual increase of 2 percent in these valuations, together with new construction, it is estimated that the total tax increment revenue generated by the redevelopment area will be approximately $ 4.5 million over the next five year period. This estimate is believed to be conservative since it does not include revenues generated by the redevelopment projects described in this plan. These projects will increase the total tax increment as they are completed and entered on the tax rolls. Since its creation in lg85, the CRA has continued to expand its redevelopment efforts into the surrounding community. Starting with just a few projects, the CRA has increased its activities to include over two dozen projects and programs. It must be noted; however, that this increased commitment is not without costs. Consequently, the CRA's overall program, has outgrown the limited funding provided by TIF revenues. To continue its redevelopment effort and provide adequate funding for its various projects and programs, the agency must now turn to long-term borrowing. Since property values will inevitably increase as a result of its activities, this method of financing the CRA redevelopment effort can also be looked upon as an investment in future TIF revenue. : 1~/1~ i995/1~ !

Under the ordinance, the City may not issue development orders for a proposed project if it adds traffic to county or state roadways, within its radius of influence, which causes total traffic to exceed the adopted Levels of Service (LOS). The ordinance does; however, include provisions for "Geographic Areas of Exception (GAE)", which allow the County to set new lower levels of service for roadways which will be impacted by development within the GAE. This means that development within the GAE is then allowed to increase traffic on area roadways beyond previously permitted levels. The City of Delray Beach proposes to establish a Downtown Core GAE in order to foster the continued development and redevelopment of the downtown area. In essence, the revitalization of the downtown is dependant upon the City's ability to attract people to the area; to live, to work and to shop. The establishment of the GAE will further the City's goals by allowing the increases in traffic which will undoubtedly occur as a result. Without the GAE, only minimal development within the downtown would be permitted. Due to its tremendous impact on overall redevelopment efforts, the CRA agreed to fund the preparation of the GAE application as well as application fees. The territory within the GAE includes the CBD zone district, west of the Intracoastal waterway, as well as the Old School Square Historic Arts District, immediately to the west of the CBD. On March 27, 1991, the CRA hosted a workshop at the Old School Square Gym for the purpose of reaching a consensus as to the CBD development scenario to be used in the GAE application. During the course of the day, the group was presented with three development scenarios. The three scenarios, listed in order of increasing overall intensity were referred to as 1) Laissez Faire, 2) Urban Village and 3) Urban Center. Based on a series of presentations, evaluations and discussions, the group arrived at a consensus that the Urban Center Scenario was realistic and generally desirable but should be modified in order to protect the "Village by the Sea" character deemed essential to Delray Beach's preferred identity and quality of life. The final proposed development scenario is a composite entitled "Village Center". Project Objectives o Increase development potential and ultimately the tax base of the downtown core o Provide the opportunity to attract major development to the downtown which may otherwise not be permitted due to traffic considerations. o Provide opportunity for economic stimulation and investment in the CBD. o Reestablishment of the downtown as an employment center o Determine the appropriate intensity of the Downtown Core Project Description o Successful completion of the GAE Application in 1991 o Approval of the GAE by the Board of County Commissioners in 1992 with amendments to the County's Comprehensive Plan. o Amendment of the City's Comprehensive Plan to accommodate reduced levels of service on specified roadway links. Project Participants and Administration o The project will be jointly administered by the City of Delray Beach and the CRA. o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, Project Consultants, the County Commission, DDA, Reviewing Agencies, and Workshop Participants 1 Funding Sources o The CRA will provide the funding to retain consultants and allocate staff time to prepare the GAE application o The CRA will provide funding for application fees Project Schedule o Completed in FY 1991/1992 # 2.8: "Bankers Row Project Implementation" Background Banker's Row, the 200 block of NE 1st Avenue is a downtown residential block which includes single family, rear guest cottages, and some home-occupation uses. The block is located within the Old School Square Historic Arts District which includes most of the City's oldest homes. Banker's Row includes 16 of these historic (built before 1940) residences. This project was born when, under the auspices of the Historic Preservation Board and the City's Planning Department, application was made to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources for a Preservation Grant. A $24,000 planning grant was awarded by the State with provisions for the City to ~allocate a matching share toward planning of the project. The Project Plan has three separate but related components. These are: a study and evaluation of the historic significance of the Banker's Row block and an analysis of the architecture of its structures; the preparation of a streetscape design plan, architectural design guidelines, and lot development guidelines; and the creation of a planning program for the private property owners of Bankers Row. The Planning was culminated by the preparation of a document entitled, "BANKERS ROW - A PROGRAM FOR RE-USE & RESTORATION" Following publication of the Plan, the property owners formed a Homeowners' Association and sought funding for the project, including street improvements and a parking lot from the City. The City was unable to fund the project and subsequently the property owners requested the same from the CRA. In 1992, the CRA, City and Homeowners' Association adopted a interlocal Tri-partite Agreement in which the Property Owners would fund $32,500 for the project, payable over 10 years; the City would fund a new water main; and, the CRA would fund the construction of the parking lot and the balance of the street improvements. The CRA completed the Banker's Row parking lot in March, 1993 and the design for the street improvements was completed in October. It is anticipated that the remaining improvements will be completed in FY 1993/1994. The Property Owners will pay 25% of the cost of the roadway improvements, up to a maximum of $32,500 through a property assessment district. Project Objectives o Preserve the historic structures. o Revive the historic character of Banker's Row. o Improve and enhance economic conditions through some appropriate conversions of individual properties to home occupations or nonresidential use. o Spin-off private redevelopment on adjacent blocks Project Description o The City shall initiate the appropriate amendments to its Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations in order to accommodate the Program. 2 o Formation of a Banker's Row Neighborhood Association by the Residents o Creation of a property assessment district by the City to collect moneys from the property owners to reimburse the CRA o Project includes Streetscape and Parking Lot improvements including acquisition of parking lot site. o Individual property improvements will be made in accordance with Master Development Plan, at the discretion and timing of the property owners; however, the improvements are required at the time of changing from a single family or home occupation use to any other category of use. Project Participants and Administration o The City of Delray is responsible for overall implementation of the Program. o The CRA shall, through an agreement with the property owners, take the lead and contribute funds toward implementation of the streetscape/parking lot improvements in accordance with the Master Plan. o In addition to paying a portion of the streetscape costs, including engineering, the property owners shall be responsible for improvement of their individual properties. o The Historic Preservation Board shall review improvements or modifications which affect the exterior of any structures. Funding Sources o The CRA shall provide the funds for parking lot property acquisition and improvement costs o The CRA shall provide a portion of the funds for implementation of the streetscape improvements o The property owners, through a property assessment district, shall provide the remaining portion of the streetscape improvement and engineering costs. o The property owners shall be solely responsible for any improvements made to their individual properties. o Property owners may also qualify for participation in the CRA's Subsidized Loan Program, Business Development Program or Historic Facade Easement Program. o The City of Delray Beach will provide funding for the design/construction of water supply lines Project Schedule o Parking lot site was acquired in FY 1991/1992 o Construction of parking lot in 1993 (Complete March 1993) o Formation of Property Owners Special Assessment District in 1993 o Construction plans for street Improvements were completed in 1993 o Completion of streetscape improvements in 1994. # 2.10: "Municipal Tennis Center Rehabilitation" Background The CRA prepared a study in mid 1992 to determine the feasibility of rehabilitating the existing Center with possible inclusion of a stadium court to host the Virginia Slims Tennis Tournament. As a part of the Study, the CRA also held a 1-day Workshop to build a consensus within the community on if and how the tennis center property should be redeveloped. This workshop was a great success with over 60 people attending. The consensus of the group was that the Tennis Center be retained at its present location and be rehabilitated and expanded to include a stadium court and other facilities. The results of CRA's study and workshop were presented to the City Commission and the City made the decision to rehabilitate the Center. Recognizing that this project clearly achieves several major CRA goals including the elimination of blighted conditions, and the creation of significant spin-off economic benefits in the CRA area, the City requested that the CRA participate in the project's capital funding. The 3 CRA obliged with a $481,000 commitment which may be paid over a 15-year period. In 1992, the City commenced construction of the first phase of the Tennis Center including the 3,000 seat stadium court. The upgraded Center includes adjacent residential property to the west and the old fire station # 1 site. This increased land area gives the property a corner location on N.W. 1st Avenue and West Atlantic, and provided the necessary space to add a new proshop, additional courts and the stadium court. Additionally, the new design greatly improves the overall visual appearance of the center with better linkages to Atlantic Avenue and increased landscaping. In March of 1993, the Virginia Slims of Florida held their national women's tournament. With over 80,000 people attending the event over the two-week period of the tournament, this event set a record in women's tennis. Project Obiectives o Upgrade of the existing Municipal Tennis Center o Add the necessary facilities to host the Virginia Slims Tennis Tournament and other events o Provide a positive influence on West Atlantic Avenue redevelopment Project Description o The project elements includes facilities design, acquisition of additional property as needed and construction of the project Project Participants and Administration o The project is the responsibility of the City of Delray Beach o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the CRA, Design Professionals and Construction Contractors Funding Sources o The City shall have primary responsibility for funding the improvements. o The CRA will provide $481,000 of the capital funding for construction of the project either as a lump sum payment or a yearly contribution toward the project's debt service Project Schedule o Phase I construction,'including the pro-shop, stadium court and the majority of the tennis courts was completed in March 1993. o Phase 2 construction, which included 4 additional courts and landscape improvements at the intersection of N.W. 1st Avenue and Atlantic Avenue was completed in FY 1993/1994. # 2.12: "Old School Square Cultural Center" Background Beginning in late 1985, a group of concerned citizens established a task force to save the old schools, which the Palm Beach County School Board had planned to abandon. The 4 acre site of the Delray Beach Elementary School, containing two school buildings, a 350 seat auditorium and a gymnasium seemed to have potential, not only as an important historic preservation project, but also as an arts center benefitting Delray Beach and the surrounding communities. The Historical Society established a committee to establish the possibility of restoring all or a portion of the school complex and to locate a historical museum within the school. The committee, now Old School Square, Inc. reported its findings to the City Commission in 1987 and recommended the restoration of the facility and development of an art and cultural center. A professional feasibility study was prepared and determined the project to be feasible. Hence, engineering surveys of the existing buildings and building plans were prepared and the restoration project began in 1988. The on-going restoration and development of the 6.6 million dollar center has become a source of pride to Delray Beach residents. Serving as the centerpiece of the Atlantic Avenue Business Corridor from Interstate 95 to A-l-A, the center which opened in 1990, now includes a museum, gift shop, community meeting room and a visual arts center/gallery. In order to complete the first phase of the 1926 building, which fronts on Swinton Avenue, Old School Square requested a $435,000 loan from the City in 1992 to supplement a donation by a foundation. The City agreed with the understanding that the CRA would guarantee the loan. In addition to this loan guarantee, the CRA also agreed to make the debt service payments if requested by Old School Square. In the fall of 1992, the first phase of renovations were completed on the 1926 building, which now hosts theater productions, concerts, ballets and classes. The loggia and bandstand of Old School Square, the last phase of the project, is planned for outdoor exhibits, concerts, festivals, large parties, and "Sunday in the Park" type entertainment for the enjoyment of the entire community. Project Objectives o Establish a strong cultural identity in Delray Beach o Promote Arts and cultural activities as a means to foster increased economic development within the city center o Provide a cornerstone for the revitalization and redevelopment of the Atlantic Avenue Business corridor and the Pineapple Grove Neighborhood. o Create an attraction for both tourist and residents to the area. Project Description o Restoration of 1913 school building as museum and visual arts center o Restoration of 1926 school building as a performing arts center and theater o Restoration of the gymnasium as a meeting hall o Addition of a loggia for outdoor exhibits, concerts, etc. Project Participants and Administration o Administration and coordination of the project is by Old School Square, Inc. o Other participants in the project include, but are not limited to, the State of Florida, the City of Delray Beach, the CRA, Delray Beach Historical Society, Private Citizens and Foundations. Funding Sources o The City of Delray Beach has contributed the bulk of the money toward this projects with over 4 million dollars invested. o The State of Florida, Division of Cultural Affairs has contributed funds toward the project. o Private donations have also been an important source of funding o The CRA will provide funding sources through loan guarantees, loans or grants for restoration of the 1926 building as an important component of the center. 5 Project Schedule o The Museum Building restoration was completed in 1990 o The Gymnasium building restoration was completed in 1991, o Restoration of 1926 building was completed in 1993. o The schedule for the remaining components of the center are to be determined. 6 APPENDIX F DOWNTOWN DELRAY BEACH JOINT VENTURE 6.6 DOWNTOWN DELRAY BEACH JOINT ~ENTURE THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into thi-s 13th day of January, 1993, by and between the COMMUNITY P~EDE~ELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF DEL~AY BEACH, hereinafter referred to as the "CRA," the DEL~AY BEACH DOWNTOWN DE%~LO~ A~THORITY, hereinafter referred to as the "DDA," ~nd the GREATER DEL~AY BEACH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, hereinafter referred to as "CHAMBER. # W I T N E S S E T.H: , WHEREAS, the CRA is a Community Redevelopment Agency created pursuant to Florida Statute Chapter 163 and has as its purpose the redevelopment of portions of the City of Delray Beach located within its geographically designated redevelopment area; and WHEREAS, the DDA is a special taxing district created by special act of the Legislature of the State of Florida and the DDA is responsible for the economic development of the geographic area defined pursuant to its Charter; and WHEREAS, the CHAMBER has as one of its primary missions the providing of support to the economic community within Delray Beach; and WHEREAS, the area within CBD Zoning District, OSSHAD Zoning District and the General Commercial Zoning District and Community Facility Zoning District running from 1-95 to NW and SW First Avenues lie within the geographic areas which the parties hereto conduct their respective activity within; and WHEREAS, the parties hereto are desirous of joining forces to develop and administer as a joint venture a Program for downtown Delray Beach a summary of which Program is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."

No. 48-95 The City of Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Plan Proposed Amendment May 4, 1995 Revised June 13, 1995 Draft The City of Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Introduction INTRODUCTION TO THE PLAN The City of Delray Beach is a coastal community located in southern Palm Beach County. It is bounded by the municipaJities of Boynton Beach and Gulfstream to the north, by the municipalities of Boca Raton and Highland Beach to the south and by unincorporated Palm Beach County to the west. At the present time, the City is approximately 85% built-out in terms of population. Under current grow{h trends, it can be expected to be totally built-out by the year 2000. Given its limited potential for future population growth, the City has begun to focus its attention on the revitalization and rehabilitation of areas which are in a state of decline or deterioration. These areas have been incorporated within the defined geographic boundaries of the "City of Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Area". This area, which encompasses the older central core of the city, is depicted graphically in Figure 1 and by a description of its boundaries in Appendix "A". Since it contains a significant amount of vacant, under-developed or deteriorating residential and commercial property, it is within this area that there can be a continuing increase in population growth and an establishment of commercial ventures. The Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, (CRA) was established in 1985 to guide the City in its redevelopment efforts. The purpose of the Agency is to revitalize the physical environment and the economy of the Community Redevelopment Area, The impetus to create the Community Redevelopment Agency grew out of the work of the Atlantic Avenue Task Force which was commenced in 1984. The objective of the Task Force was to study the Atlantic Avenue Corridor and make recommendations for an overall plan for improvement. Its work was completed in 1985 when it presented its report to the City Commission. That report recommended the establishment of a Community Redevelopment Area as means to fund needed improvements through the use of "Tax Increment Financing (TIP")". After its creation in 1985, the Community Redevelopment Agency commissioned the preparation of its first plan under contract with the firm of Wallace, Roberts & Todd, Inc. The resulting plan document, ' The City of Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Plan", was adopted by the City Commission on September 9, 1986 by Resolution No. 49-86 and later adopted as an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan on July 12, 1988 by Ordinance No. 57-88. In 1989, it became apparent that due to changing conditions and the Agency's desire to undertake a host of new programs not anticipated in the original document, it was necessary to undertake a Plan revision. In late 1990, it was decided to put most of the Community Redevelopment Agency's new project activity on hold and to completely redo the document. Hence, the creation of this Plan Document. This document, "The City of Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Plan", provides the framework for programming redevelopment activities within the CRA. Since it is not possible or practical for the Community Redevelopment Agency to fund and implement all redevelopment projects within the community, the plan sets forth a series of implementation steps and specific projects intended to leverage or stimulate the type of public interest and private investment necessary to achieve the revitalization. The Plan was originally developed by the City's Planning Department with funding by the Community Redevelopment Agency for a staff planner. Subsequent amendments to the Plan have been made by staff at the Community Redevelopment Agency. The CRA Board provides policy, direction and workshop review for the evolving document. The current version of the Plan was formally adopted by the City Commission via Ordinance No.-5-94 on F~ru~-~' ~ ....... ., 1995. Part One: Background PART ONE:BACKGROUND I. Authority To Undertake Community Redevelopment This document has been prepared under the direction of the City of Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency in accordance with the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969, F.S. 163, Part II1. In recognition of the need to prevent and eliminate slum and blighted conditions within the community, the Community Redevelopment Act confers upon counties and municipalities the authority and powers to carry out 'Community Redevelopment". For the purposes of this Community Redevelopment Plan, the following definition, taken from the Florida Statutes, shall apply: 'Community Redevelopment'' or "Redevelopment'' means undertakings, activities, or projects of a county, municipality, or community redevelopment agency in a community redevelopment area for the elimination and prevention of the development or spread of slums and blight or for the provision of affordable housing, whether for rent or for sale, to residents of Iow or moderate income, including the elderly, and may include slum clearance and redevelopment in a community redevelopment area, or rehabilitation or conservation in a community redevelopment area, or any combination or part thereof, in accordance with a community redevelopment plan and may include the preparation of such a plan." The ability of a county or municipality to utilize the authority granted under the Act is predicated upon the adoption of a "Finding of Necessity" by the governing body. This finding must demonstrate that: (1) One or more slum or blighted areas, or one or more areas in which there is a shortage of housing affordable to residents of/ow or moderate income, including the e/der/y, exist in the county or municipality; and, (2) The rehabilitation, conservation, or redevelopment, or a combination thereof, of such area or areas is necessary in the interest of the public health, safety, morals, or welfare of the residents of the county or municipality. II. Creation of the Community Redevelopment Agency Upon a "Finding of Necessity`' by the governing body and upon further finding that there is a need for a Community Redevelopment Agency to function in the county or municipality to carry out community redevelopment purposes, any county or municipality may create a public body corporate and politic to be known as a "community Redevelopment Agency''. The Agency shall be constituted as a public instrumentality, and the exercise by the Agency of the powers conferred by F.S. Chapter 163, Part II1. shall be deemed and held to be the performance of an essential public function. The City of Delray Beach City Commission established the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment ^gency on June 18, 1985, with the adoption of Ordinance No. 46-85. The organizational structure of the agency was also established at that time. It consists of a board of seven members appointed by the City Commission. The term of office of the board members is four years. A vacancy occurring during a term is filled for the unexpired term. The provisions of Ordinance No. 46-85 have been codified in Article 8.1 of the City's Land Development Regulations. II1. Powers of the Community Redevelopment Agency As authorized by the Community Redevelopment Act, a wide variety of powers are available to the City of Delray Beach to carry out redevelopment activities. While most of these powers may be delegated 1.1 to a Community Redevelopment Agency, others may not. These powers, which continue to vest in the City Commission, are as follows: o The Power to determine an area to be a slum or blighted area and to designate such an area as appropriate for community redevelopment. o The power to grant final approval to community redevelopment plans and modifications thereof. o Prior to the approval of the community redevelopment plan or approval of any modifications of the plan, the power to approve the acquisition, demolition, removal or disposal of property and the power to assume the resp.onsibility to bear loss. o The power to authorize the issuance of revenue bonds The powers which the City Commission has chosen to delegate to the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency under City Ordinance No. 46-85 include the following: o The power to acquire property deemed necessary for community redevelopment, except that the use of eminent domain shall require specific approval from the City Commission. o The power to hold, improve, clear, or prepare any acquired property for redevelopment. o The power to dispose of property acquired within the community redevelopment area for uses in accordance with the Plan. o The power to construct improvements necessary to carry out community redevelopment objectives. o The power to carry out programs of repair and rehabilitation. o The power to plan for and assist in the relocation of persons and businesses displaced by redevelopment activities. o The power to receive and utilize tax increment revenues to fund redevelopment activities. In 1992, the City Commission adopted City Ordinance #17-92, which delegated the following power to the CRA: o The power to appropriate such funds and make such expenditures as are necessary to carry out the purposes of the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969. Other powers authorized by the Act but which the City Commission has elected not to delegate to the Agency are: o The power to zone or rezone any part of the city or make exceptions from building regulations; and to enter into agreements with a housing authority, which agreements may extend over any period. 1.2 o The power to dose, vacate, plan, or replan streets, roads, sidewalks, ways or other places and to plan or replan any part of the city. IV. The Community Redevelopment Area Pursuant to State Statutes, a community redevelopment area must be a slum area, a blighted area or an area in which there is a shortage of housing that is affordable to residents of Iow or moderate income, including the elderly. The City of Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Area generally consists of the older central core of the city which has become deteriorated due to a age, obsolescence and the lack of investment. Unfortunately, a deteriorating area is self propagating, and as conditions worsen, residents and private businesses become less willing to put financial resources into the area. It is this cycle which severely limits the ability of private enterprise to stop the spread of slum and blight without public assistance. A 'Finding of Necessity' for the initial 1,812 acre Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Area was adopted by City Commission Resolution No. 32-85 on May 14, 1985. A "Finding of Necessity" for an additional 103 acres, located along North Federal Highway, was adopted by City Commission Resolution No. 47-87 on November 24, 1987 and the Community Redevelopment Area was thus increased to its current size. It should be noted; however, that the Community Redevelopment Plan was not amended at that time to include the additional area. This situation has now been rectified with the adoption of this updated "Community Redevelopment Plan". The overall boundaries of the Community Redevelopment Area are shown graphically in Figure 1 and by legal description in Appendix "A". A copy of each "Finding of Necessity" is found in Appendix "B". V. The Community Redevelopment Plan AJI public redevelopment activities expressly authorized by the Community Redevelopment Act and funded by tax increment financing must be in accordance with a redevelopment plan which has been approved by the City Commission. Like the City's Comprehensive Plan, the Community Redevelopment Plan is an evolving document which must be evaluated and amended on a regular basis in order to accurately reflect changing conditions and community objectives. 1.3 II COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FIGURE THE CITY OF DELRAY COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 1.4 , ,,, ,,, Part Two: Existing Conditions PART TWO: EXISTING CONDITIONS I. General Description of the Community Redevelopment Area A. Existing Land Use Existing land uses in the Community Redevelopment Area follow patterns of historical development activity, and the requirements of existing and past zoning districts. There are approximately 1,915 acres of land within the Community Redevelopment Area. A generalized pattern of existing land use is depicted in Figure 2. Overall, the single largest land use within the CRA is residential. Although there are duplexes and higher density multi-family developments located within the redevelopment area, the majority of the residential development is comprised of single-family detached dwellings. Commercial uses within the redevelopment area are generally clustered around the Atlantic Avenue and Federal Highway Corridors, with a focus on where these two major roadways meet in forming the core of the Central Business District (CBD). Retail activities are concentrated primarily along Atlantic Avenue and N.E. 2nd Avenue, while general business and other commercial uses extend north and south along and adjacent to the Federal Highway and FEC Railroad corridors. The main comparison retail shopping district extends along Af~ntic Avenue between the FEC Railroad and the Atlantic Ocean. N.E. 2nd Avenue by contrast, contains a concentration of retail services, including a community shopping center with a major food store. A wide variety of other commercial uses also exist in the redevelopment area, including offices, restaurants, building supply, etc. Auto related uses including new and used car dealers, and service shops are located within the CRA along the Federal Highway corridor in response to the accessibility afforded by this major arterial, Light industrial uses can be found scattered throughout the CRA. Although these uses have been accommodated within the CBD zoning district regulations to a limited extent, many of the industrial and repair uses within the CRA are currently non-conforming within existing zoning designations. One small area in the southwest corner of the CRA is zoned for light industrial uses; however, development potential is limited since it is located within a wellfield protection zone. Due to the proximity of the railroad and its obvious negative impacts on Iow intensity development (e.g. noise, & vibration), adjacent properties developed primarily into a heavy commercial/light industrial land use pattern. Prior to the adoption of the Land Development Regulations (LDR'S) in October 1990, special provisions were incorporated into the zoning code to permit specific land uses in addition to those ordinarily allowed within the respective zoning districts. This was done so the higher intensity existing land uses centered around the railroad corridor would remain conforming with respect to zoning. While these same provisions were continued in the City's new e,dffe~ Land Development Regulations, tho t~.~'~ ~c, '--'~ .......,.,__ ,._A '.AA-- ~g ' A th City ....... ~' ............. ~ n~ t,' th'~ CPA. e formed the CBD Industrial Area Committee in'.I994 to evaluate the Problem and recommend a 'sok~tion. Data was collected for the area including land use:, building areas, existing parking, 'and employment. Based upon the data and upon the Characteristics Df.. the ..area, the committee developed a new zoning district, entitled Central Business District-Railroad Corridor (CDB-RC). This new district, established in 1995, more accurately defines the boundaries of the area, expands the list of permitted uses and includes several special regulationS dealing with overhead ~arage dOOrs and outside storage. Institutional and Recreational land uses are located throughout the residential neighborhoods of the CRA. These uses include four public schools, many churches, City Hall, the Public Safety (Police) Complex, the South County Courthouse, the City Community/Tennis Center, and several public parks. 2.1 GE~ERALIZE~ EXIS?I~G L~N~ U~E COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FIGURE 2 ~E C~Y ~ ~LRAY BE~CH ~OMM~ITY C - COUUER~IAL I - INDUSTRIAL ~cx - P PUBLIC 2,2 ' ' .......... Although there is a considerable amount of developable vacant land within the Community Redevelopment Area, the vast majority of this land is in individual building lots located within existing residential neighborhoods. B. Existing Housing and Population The 1990 Census of Population and Housing indicates the Redevelopment Area' contains approximately 5,994 housing units, with a resident population of approximately 13,902. A breakdown of total housing units and population by geographic sub-area is provided in Table 2-2, Part Two, Section II1. of this Plan. The overall racial composition of the Community redevelopment Area is 31.5% white, 66% black and 1.5% other. It should be noted; however, that there is considerable variation in these percentages within different neighborhoods of the Community Redevelopment Area. C. Existing Traffic Circulation Overall, the street system within lhe Redevelopment Area can be summarized as a symmetrical grid. The local streets define a system of rectangularly shaped blocks with the longer block dimension oriented to the north and south. Major north/south arterial roadways include SR A-l-A, US 1, and 1-95. SR A-1-A is presently 2 lanes along its entire length with tum lanes at selected points. US 1 has separate 3 lane one way corridors for northbound and southbound travel. On-street parallel parking is provided adjacent to the outside edge of each corridor. 1-95 is a 6 lane expressway forming the western boundary of Redevelopment Area. The interchange of 1-95 with Atlantic Avenue establishes this location as the western entrance to the downtown area. Atlantic Avenue is one of two principal east/west arterial in Delray Beach. The western portion of this roadway is presently built as a 4 lane facility with on-street parallel parking. Traffic signals occur at every other block along this section. W~hin the downtown business district, the roadway narrows to a 2 lane design and virtually every intersecting roadway is signalized. Parallel parking is provided throughout much of this area. East of the Intracoastal Waterway, Atlantic Avenue widens to a 4 lane undivided design with parallel parking. The Community Redevelopment Area's traffic circulation system also includes several collector facilities including Swinton Avenue, West Fifth and Eighth Avenues, East Second Avenue, and both North and South First Streets. Additionally, NE. and SE 1st Street, between Swinton Avenue and US 1, operate as a downtown bypass system taking some of the traffic congestion off of Atlantic Avenue. D. Downtown Parking While on-street parking has historically and symbolically served downtown Delray Beach well, off- street parking lots have been constructed to serve the additional parking needs of shoppers and employees in this area. A total of 4,388 parking spaces was noted in a 1989 study of the 25 block downtown Atlantic Avenue core. Of this number, 3,424 were private off-street spaces. Of the 964 public spaces, 559 were located in off-street lots. I1. General Housing Conditions In August, 1988, the City conducted a visual survey of its current housing stock as part of its comprehensive planning program. Although 94% of the total housing units within the city were rated in good cond~on, the majority of poor quality units were found to be located within the City's redevelopment area. W~hin this area, 19.5% of the units were rated fair and 20.2% were rated poor. Clearly, this area represents 2.3 the major trouble spot in the City for housing deterioration, especially since it also contains most of the City's oldest units and residents with the lowest income levels. The Housing Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan identified residential neighborhoods within the City and categorized them as to needs for stabilization, revitalization, rehabilitation and redevelopment. It is important to note that while more than 1,300 acres within the CRA were categorized, only 6.5 percent was classified as 'stable'. The neighborhood categorizations are shown graphically in Figure 3; and the percentage allocation for each category is provided in the following Table. Community Redevelopment Area Neighborhood Categorizations &0% ~$Aere$- &$% 24.0% 240Acres. II.3% Legend Table 2-1: Neighborhood Categorization The City stepped up its code enforcement program in late 1985. By 1992, more than 380 structures within the City were idenlflied as unsafe. Of this number, over one-half were demolished. The majority of this code enforcement activity was within the Community Redevelopment Area. Additionally, this area of the city is a "target area' for the City's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program which began in 1985. Under this Program, the City's Community Development Department is responsible for the rehabilitation of .... ,,,,, 122 owner-occupied housing units through FY ~"'~'~"", ~,,.,, ~,,~'~'" 1'993/1994. It is a major objective of the City to eliminate all substandard housing conditions within its jurisdiction. To accomplish this objective, the City and the CRA must work together to develop programs aimed at maximizing the impact of public expenditures to leverage private investment in the area. 2.4 While considerable progress has been made by the city in eliminating the signs of deterioration, the cycle of decline is still present and cannot be eliminated without considerable effort on the part of individual homeowners and private enterprise. III. Geographic Sub-Areas Within the Community Redevelopment Area, there are considerable variations in the degree of deterioration, land use pattems and existing socioeconomic conditions. In order to develop an effective plan which is cognizant of these variations, the CRA has been divided into eight distinct geographic sub-areas, each requiring a different redevelopment strategy. In addition to addressing underlying problems and capitalizing on area opportunities, associated redevelopment strategies focus on maintaining and enhancing major assets which provide positive contributions to the redevelopment effort. Physical features, (e.g. landmarks, barriers, activity centers, etc.), within each sub-area are also considered, since they have a significant influence upon specific urban design decisions which may impact overall redevelopment strategy. Another significant factor in the development of effective sub-area redevelopment strategies is the participation of community members. The success or failure of stabilization and redevelopment efforts is dependent upon the level of public support. Additionally, given the limited resources available for redevelopment, coordination between public and private efforts is essential to maximize efficiency and avoid duplication. The eight geographic sub-areas, are shown graphically in Figure 4, and major characteristics are given in the following table.

Table 2-2 Geographic Sub-Areas Note: Housing units & population counts from 1990 U.S. Census A detailed description of each of the eight geographic sub-areas of the CRA is provided below. Each description provides an overview of existing conditions, including a list of major physical features and key agencies/special interest groups operating within the sub-area. A. Sub-Area #1: "The Downtown" This sub-area, containing approximately 272 acres of land, consists of the city's central business disfl'ict (CBD) and several fringe residential areas. The area, while primarily commercial in nature, contains 2.6 GEOGRAPHIC SUB-AREAS COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMEHT PLAN FIGURE 4 ~E C~Y ~ ~AY BE~ CO~ ~VEL~ENT ~NCY 2.7 a mix of residential, commercial and light industrial land uses. Although existing land uses are generally varied throughout, the area is subdivided in its focus by the Intracoastal Waterway. The area east of the Intracoastal consists of several condominiums, resort hotels and businesses which focus on tourist activity and the beach. The area west of the intracoastal consists of the older retail core of the city centered on Atlantic Avenue and most of the Pineapple Grove Neighborhood. W~h lhe exception of a few mid-rise buildings, including the Holiday Inn on Ocean BouleVard, the office tower in Atlantic Plaza, the Colony Hotel and several condominiums, most of the buildings within the area are one or two stories in- height. The tight massing of structures, particularly along Atlantic Avenue, Ocean Boulevard and sections of Pineapple Grove Way, creates a solid continuous facade of buildings typically associated with older downtown areas. The architectural styles are diverse, reflecting a downtown that evolved over decades. The wide mix of businesses further reflects this diversity. From drug stores to designer wear, souvenir shops, furniture stores and water-view restaurants, the downtown area reflects a wide cultural diversity of interests. The overall scale of the area is that of a small to a medium sized downtown. The "Village by the Sea" character of the downtown area presents a strong sense of place to residents and visitors. As one of the few downtowns in South Florida to have retained its commercial focus, this area continues to serve as a true community center. Renewal and redevelopment have been an on-going activity in the downtown area for a number of years. Minor renovations and rehabilitation continue to occur frequently. The "Atlantic Plaza" project, completed in 1985, involved one full block of redevelopment and was the last large development project in the downtown core area. The Atlantic Avenue Beautification project, completed on 8 blocks west of the Intracoastal, was a major commitment by the City, CRA and DDA to maintain and enhance the downtown as a viable and healthy area in an effort to attract additional infill development and redevelopment. Coordinated hardscape elements, such as lighting, benches and trash receptacles; specially paved widened sidewalks and street crosswalks and the street tree and landscape program make this stretch of Atlantic Avenue one of the most attractive downtown pedestrian corridors in the County. As part of the City's 'Decade of Excellence" bond, a similar beautification effort was completed between Swinton Avenue and 1-95 in 1992 and is now scheduled for continuation between the Intracoastal Waterway and A-1-A. As with most true historic downtowns, street parking played the most important early role in providing convenient customer access. When the Atlantic Avenue streetscape improvements were planned, the critical importance of street parking was understood, and the parking was retained to the greatest extent possible. The designation of the one-way pairs downtown by-passes of N.E. and S.E. 1st Streets is an attempt to accommodate through-traffic around the retail core, while preserving'the parking on, and the character of, Atlantic Avenue.

Existing land uses include a mix of public, cultural, commercial and residential development, including the majority of the City's historically significant residential structures. This sub-area provides a buffer between the higher intensity commercial development of the CBD and the West Atlantic Avenue business corridor and Iow density residential neighborhoods to the west.

Sub Area #3: "West Atlantic Avenue Corridor" This sub-area, containing approximately 122 acres, generally comprises a one-block (600') deep corridor on each side of Atlantic Avenue from 1-95 to West 3rd Avenue. The 2 block NW. 5th Avenue neighborhood commercial area, located between NW 1st and NW 2nd Streets is also included in this sub- area. Overall, the area is characterized by older deteriorating commercial uses interspersed with vacant lots and vacant buildings. Existing businesses are primarily oriented to service the immediate neighborhood located on either side of Atlantic Avenue. 2.9 The rear portion of the blocks fronting on Atlantic Avenue are predominantly residential in nature with units of both single family and multiple family design. A large number of these are of relatively poor quality and require both minor and major repairs, The Atlantic Avenue Corridor is the major entrance to the downtown. As such, the visual appearance of the Avenue makes a statement about the City in general, To facilitate the City's efforts for redevelopment in this and other areas through the attraction of private investment, it is important to create a positive visual impact and to emphasize the importance of this area as an entrance to the Downtown Center, In 1990, In order to improve the visual appearance of the corridor, the City began working on a greenway program to landscape the vacant private lots fronting along the avenue, This program has been a great success and is largely responsible for renewed interest in redevelopment of this area. Additional beautification efforts, including streetscape improvements with paver block sidewalks were constructed in 1992 as part of the Decade of Excellence Bond, It is important to note that a redevelopment strategy was put forth for this area in December, 1988 and met with substantial citizen opposition. The strategy recommended acquisition and redevelopment of the entire area. Since this approach did not allow for the assimilation of existing businesses and housing into the program, it would have required massive displacement and relocation of primarily minority businesses and residents. This situation was clearly "unacceptable" to the residents of the area. In a counter proposal presented by the West Atlantic Property Owners' Association (WAPOA), it was recommended that redevelopment of the area be accomplished on a block-by-block basis and that commercial activity be generally limited to a depth of 300 feet from Atlantic Avenue rights-of-way, This strategy was accepted by the City and has been included within the City's Comprehensive Plan as an interim measure to guide land use decision-making prior to the creation of a West Atlantic Redevelopment Plan, As a precursor to the preparation of a West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan, the Delray Merchant's Association was established in 1991, This group will contribute its unique viewpoints on the problems confronting the area and on possible solutions during the redevelopment process. In 1993, the CRA organized the first phase of the planning effort by inviting numerous community members to a series of organizational meetings to discuss the concept of developing a West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan. These meetings, which were facilitated by professional planners, resulted in the organization of a larger community based Steering Committee of over 50 people. The initial charge of this Steering Committee was to develop a process and strategy for the planning effort. The Steering Committee participants referred to themselves as "Stakeholders" in the resulting process which was termed "Visions West Atlantic". "Visions West Atlantic" is a forum for a series of community meetings which will ultimately produce recommendations concerning redevelopment issues for West Atlantic Avenue. These recommendations ere-then-to form the backbone of the redevelopment plan, which was adopted by the City !'n':i995.

Sub Area #4: "Residential Core" This sub-area of approximately 712 acres contains the majority of the City's minority population. When the area was originally settled, it was considered to be on the outskirts of the City. However, with the construction of 1-95 and rapid expansion to the west, it is now located in the center of the urban core. The area is primarily resider~al in nature containing approximately 2,617 dwelling units consisting of single family, duplex and multiple family slnJCtures. Overall, this area contains the bulk of the older, poorer quality housing within the city. The depressed economic status of a majority of the area's residents has made it difficult to provide adequate maintenance of housing units within the neighborhood. As a result, a substantial number of structures are in need of major repairs and rehabilitation. One of the large development success stories of the City, 'Auburn Trace", is located within this area. This 256 unit housing project is a prime example of what can be accomplished to provide affordable housing through a public/private cooperative effort. Another affordable housing project within the area is Allamanda Gardens, a 36 unit single family subdivision. This project was developed by a non-profit agency named the 'Housing Partnership" with County and City financial contributions. The City's only public housing project, "Carver Estates" is located within the southern section of the area. This 200 unit development, once an 'eyesore' in the community, has undergone considerable improvement in recent years and is now a community asset as well as a provider of affordable rental housing. The units contain from one to ~e bedrooms with the majority having two to three bedrooms. Rent is based on family income and the development has no vacancies.

Sub-Area #5: "North Federal Highway" This sub-area of approximately 196 acres is centered on the N. Federal Highway Corridor. The majority of the area was annexed to the City in 1988 as enclave #24, ~d :additiOnal properties,,inclUding theDelray~s~p~ Sh6pi~re.:i:arinexed:in 1994. The City adopted a "Finding of Necessity" and the Community Redevelopment Ama was amended in 1987 and 1989 to include most of this annexation area. In general, the properties fronting on Federal Highway are used for commercial purposes. Much of this frontage has been utilized for strip commercial developments with little sense of order. Additionally, due to age and obsolescence, there are a substantial number of commercial structures which require major renovation and/or demolition, have inadequate parking facilities and have an negative economic impact and blighting influence on the entire area. Although commercial activities are mixed throughout the area, there are auto-related businesses located south of 8th street, while the area north of 8th street is predominantly retail in nature. Homes within the residential areas are generally in poor condi~on requiring substantial maintenance, repair and rehabilitation. The City paved streets and installed water and sewer service within the area in 1992. Major Physical Features: o Intracoastal Waterway as eastern Boundary for a part of the area o This is a northern "gateway" to the city o The F.E.C.

Sub-Area ~: "N.E. Neighborhood Area" This sub-area of approximately 278 acres is primarily situated between N.E. 2nd Avenue/Seacrest Boulevard and the F.E.C. Railway, north of 4th street. A portion of the area, located south of N.E. 8th Street is within the Del-Ida Historic District. In general, the overall sub-area is residential in nature; however, some Iow intensity professional office development is clustered within the southernmost portion and there is a small industrial zone located in the northeast corner. Additionally, two public schools (Plumosa Elementary & Atlantic High) are located within the area. There are approximately 860 residential units within the area, consisting of single family, duplex and multiple family structures. Although the overall housing conditions are good, there are many structures throughout the area in need of major and minor repairs, The worst physical conditions in the area occur on N.E 3rd Avenue, immediately adjacent to the railway. Most of the area has been identified as in need of stabilization and revitalization in the City's Comprehensive Plan. .Major Physical Features: o The F.E.C. Railroad o Atlantic High School 2.12 o Vacant, dilapidated structures on large parcel located on Seacrest Avenue, north of 22nd Street o Plumosa Elementary School o Seacrest Christian School and Church o Del-Ida Professional Office District o N.E, 2nd Avenue/Seacrest Blvd. o Gulfstream Boulevard The Players: o The Community Redevelopment Agency o The City of Delray Beach o Palm Beach County School Board o Historic Preservation Board o Del-Ida Park Home Owners Association o Private Development Interests o The City of Boynton Beach (sharing costs with Delray to improve Gulfstream Blvd,) G. Sub-Area #7: "Osceola Park" This Sub-Area of approximately 151 acres is generally situated between Federal Highway and the F.E.C. Railroad, south of the CBD. The Federal Highway frontage contains a mixture of Iow intensity commercial uses and auto related businesses, There is additional commercial/light industrial development adjacent to the railroad in the northwest section of the area. The central and southern portions of the area are single family residential in nature. The overall condition of housing is generally good south of SE 6th street, although there are many structures in need of maintenance and minor repairs. The northern portion of the sub-area (between SE 2r~d St, and SE 5th St.) contains the structures in the poorest condition, This - area has sandwiched a small area of residential development between deteriorating commercial land uses. This portion of the sub-area has been designated a redevelopment area in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Major Physical Features: o F.E.C, Railroad o Currie Commons Park o Federal Highway Corridor The Players: o The Community Redevelopment Agency o The City of Delray Beach o Private Redevelopment Interests o Haitian-American Chamber of Commerce Sub-Area #8: "1-95/10th Street Area" This Sub-Area of approximately 75 acres is a mixed use area containing commercial and light induslfial land uses together with a large cemetery and single family residential development. Additionally, there are approximately 25 acres of vacant land located within the area. One large vacant parcel, located south of the exis~ng cemetery is planned for cemetery expansion with access from 10th Street, The single family subdivision is situated between the cemetery expansion area and another large vacant area to the ,. west, The area immediately south of 10th Street, outside the CRA boundary, is light industrial in nature and ~ sets the tone for this portion of 10th street. It is important to note that this sub-area is located within the impact area of the City's Series 20 2.13 Wellfield. Any development or redevelopment in this area will be strictly regulated to ensure it does not degrade the City's potable water supply.

Functional Needs within the Community Redevelopment Area As opposed to specific needs identified within the various sub-areas of the Community redevelopment Area, these "Functional Needs" are areawide in scope and encompass some of the more serious problems which are prevalent throughout the area and contribute to the overall state of decline. A. Removal of Slum and Blight The Community Redevelopment Area contains a substantial number of slum, deteriorated and deteriorating structures which are a menace to the health, safety or welfare of Area residents. The existence of these slum and blighted conditions contribute substantially to the spread of disease and crime, decrease the tax base and substantially impair or arrest sound growth. The major charge of the Community Redevelopment Agency is the removal of these conditions and to subsequently preserve and enhance the tax base of the Community Redevelopment Area. 3.6 In 1990, the CRA initiated its ne-ifltemet subsidized loan program. This program, which is available to residents and businesses throughout the entire CRA district, together with other more specific CRA Redevelopment efforts, is expected to provide an impetus for improvement of overall conditions within the district. B. Land Use Delray Beach is primarily a residential community. Land uses within the City should be balanced so that the commercial, recreational and public service needs of all its residents can be conveniently provided within the community. The Community Redevelopment Area contains a concentration of the city's poorer, less mobile population who are very dependant upon convenience commercial and recreational facilities within their neighborhood. There is a potential for redevelopment efforts to eliminate some of these facilities in favor of higher intensity development. The CRA will ensure that adequate facilities remain available to meet the needs of area residents when implementing its redevelopment programs. This will be accomplished through relocation or replacement of needed facilities which are displaced through redevelopment. C. Economic Development The city's survival as a governmental entity is dependent upon the generation of adequate tax revenues to meet the service needs of its residents. Projects which increase the overall marketability of the city as a commercial, recreational and residential area will ultimately increase the tax base. Slum and blight have a negative impact on the tax base of the city and are self propagating. Although there is often a tendency to focus on individual redevelopment projects at the expense of resolving underlying problems in order to set the stage for redevelopment, the existing and planned CRA projects and programs stress the importance of both. The success of this community redevelopment effort is largely dependent upon the economic vitality of the area. Through programs aimed at the elimination of slum and blighted conditions and improving the standard of living of its residents, the CRA hopes to provide the catalyst for the revitalization of the entire area. Additional projects aimed at increasing jobs, retail sales and other business activity in the area, will complement the process and hopefully solve many of the underlying problems which originally resulted in this slum and blight. D. Affordable Housing In today's economic climate, a major problem for local government is the provision of sufficient affordable housing to meet the needs of its current and projected population. In general, the housing delivery system is driven by the private sector. This process is most dependent upon existing economic conditions which effect the availability of finance capital, the cost of labor and materials, and the price of land. Local government can have an effect on the process through maintaining an adequate supply of buildable land and the provision of infrastructure at a reasonable cost or it can take a more active role through actual construction and sale of housing units. The role of the CRA in this process will be one of active participation. By implementing programs which improve the overall area or provide financial opportunities to area residents to improve their living conditions, the CRA will create the incentive for additional private investment in the area. Other programs, such as the CRA "Affordable Housing Program", contain elements aimed at providing direct assistance to developers and would-be home owners in an effort to facilitate the provision of additional affordable housing units within the area. It is anticipated that these CRA programs will ultimately enhance the appeal of 'in-town" housing opportunities to a broad range of social and economic levels. E. Infrastructure Except in association with specific redevelopment projects, the provision of support infrastructure and community services will be the responsibility of the City. On and off-site infrastructure improvements, 3.7 such as parking, roadway improvements and utility upgrades may be used by the CRA as incentives to secure private sector redevelopment. F. Recreation Facilities The City's existing recreational system with programmed improvements of many facilities within the Community Redevelopment Area is adequate to meet the needs of area residents. The provision or improvement of recreational facilities is not planned by the CRA at this time. It should be noted; however, that the CRA may include these facilities in the future as part of an overall redevelopment package involving the provision of additional housing. III. Market Conditions and Development Potential ~ Betweeen 1980 and 1990, the South Florida Region, comprising Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, has experienced significant growth, increasing from a population of 3.22 million to 4.06 million, ever the ~,oo, ,,, ye-.rs. According to population projections from the University of Florida, published in 1991, over the next 10 years the region is expected to grow to a population of 4.79 million. Parallel with this population growth, the region's employment and economic base has also grown and diversified. With an overall growth rate of 49.7%, Palm Beach County experienced the highest growth rate among the three counties siflee-'F986 ~n 1980 and !990. Because of its attractiveness to new industries as well as to retirees, the County had a net population increase of 286,780 people with 95.8% due to migration. Furthermore, over one-third of this new growth has been in South Palm Beach County area, which includes the Cities of Boynton Beach, Delray Beach and Boca Raton. Although this area in general, and west Delray Beach in particular, are expected to continue a high rate of growth, the "mature" areas of Delray Beach, east of 1-95, are not expected to receive significant new population or employment growth. Without sufficient population growth to spur market demand for new development within the Community Redevelopment Area, new development west of 1-95 may increasingly compete with existing development east of 1-95. This is particularly true regarding the competition from regional shopping malls and planned business and office parks. Thus, to maintain and expand the amount and viability of development within the Community Redevelopment Area an aggressive public-private strategy must be pursued to meet the competitive challenges. A. Retail Market Within the Community Redevelopment Area there exist a variety of retail activities including Shoppers Goods, Restaurants, Neighborhood Convenience Goods and Automobile Sales and Service. The bulk of this existing retail serves residential areas east of 1-95. It is, of course recognized that there is presently an over-supply of retail space in Palm Beach county generally and the greater Delray Beach area specifically. However, there is evidence in several locations throughout South Florida that consumers are again being attracted by the more interesting environments of downtown/urban centers rather than more sterile suburban shopping centers. Examples of this are Coconut Grove and Mizner Center in Boca Raton. 1. Comparison (Shoppers) Goods Downtown Delray Beach, along Atlantic Avenue, between Swinton Avenue and the Intracoastal Waterway is the city's oldest core of shopping activity. A 1991 field survey indicated that this area contains approximately 895,162 square feet of commercial building space, with the majority in shoppers goods retail. In 1991, the City of Delray Beach proposes proposed to establish a "Downtown Core Geographic 3.8 Area of Exception (GAE)" to the Countywide Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance in order to foster the continued development and redevelopment of the downtown area. Although, the'GAE Was accepted b~/.':the'~ CoUnty, the State did not suppOrt the County's GAE process for dealing with exCePtions to' traffic ~ncurrency. i'When the GAE was reviewed bY the State as part of a County comprehensive plan ~endment, it. was rejected, since the viability of the downtown in the marketplace is dependant'upon the City's ability to attract people to the area; to live, to work and to shop,.~'~i~'has continUe tO.pursue other ~yehu'~: With th~.County and the State .to reduce the traffic standards; ~*~:~'~::~:ii:;!:':: .'~ ln'earlY 1995,: the FlOrida Department of Transportation agr~d':t°kSSist Deiray Beach to establish a 'Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA)'.. ~.ln addition to :the area included, in the original GAE, the TCEA has been'expanded to include.

The vitality of retail areas, particularly those in older downtowns, has proven dependant on two primary factors which are as follows: o The existence of a sufficient amount of quality retailing, i.e., a critical mass, to attract potential customers; and o Proximity of a residential customer base that can provide activity into the evening hours. '~ ......... '"^" '~ .... ' ............ "- '-- '"- '~ ....................... A sUccessful ~eyel~pment plan for the downtown area must recognize both of these realities with-its emphasis on both retail and multi-family residential development. As indicated in the o~iginal GAE application, actions aimed at enlarging the market area or increasing the capture rate could significantly increase the amount of non- office commercial space. ~y Such actions should include: o An improved and unified shopping district identity; o A coordinated advertising and promotion program; o A coordinated merchandising and leasing strategy; and o Retail recruitment aimed at additional apparel stores and a junior department store as a retail anchor. 2. Restaurants At present, the existing supply of restaurants within the Community Redevelopment Area is estimated to represent the current market potential within the existing market area. In order for additional restaurants to be supported, the downtown must draw more support from residents west of 1-95 and from outside the area. This can be accomplished through the actions designed to expand the comparison (shoppers) goods market and by providing coordinated shopping and entertainment activities along Atlantic Avenue. Atlantic Plaza is an excellent example of this approach. 3. Neighborhood Convenience Neighborhood convenience retail caters to the daily needs of nearby residents and includes grocery stores, drugstores and the like. At present residents in the Community Redevelopment Area are served by convenience retailers along N.E. 2nd Avenue, including the Publix shopping center, as well as smaller 3.9 markets along Atlantic Avenue. Because little local population growth is projected, much potential does not exist for the expansion of the convenience retail market within the Community Redevelopment Area. On the contrary, the current trend of coupling gas stations with convenience stores and the development of new modern community shopping centers outside the Community Redevelopment Area may reduce support for existing convenience retail along N.E. 2nd Avenue and West Atlantic Avenue. Thus, the objective of the Plan is to maintain the competitive position of the existing convenience retail market. 4. Automobile Dealers Automobile dealers and related uses have historically concentrated along Federal Highway in South Delray, representing a significant portion of the county's automobile sales. The availability of highly accessible sites for such uses combined with projected regional population growth would indicate continued potential for such uses. Conversely, due to the tremendous growth of office and other commercial development west of 1-95 and along Congress Avenue, demand for non-automobile uses along Federal Highway is expected to remain weak. This scenario would suggest policies to maintain and improve existing auto-related businesses at appropriate locations along Federal Highway, B. Office Potential The demand for office space is related to the creation of new businesses as well as to the desire among existing expanding businesses to 'move-up" to newer or better office space. Because of the amount of prime office space already available and the amount of remaining land in planned office parks, a market for major office projects within the Community Redevelopment Area does not exist for the foreseeable future '"'-" ........ :__ :A .., .~ ,... ,,._ ,. ,. , ..... ~hr~ugh --" .... ' ........ -' ............ : ..... :'":- th-" An additional market does exist within the Community Redevelopment Area for smaller professional office space to serve legal, medical, financial, real estate and related businesses. Due in part to the large retirement population east of the Intracoastal Waterway demand for medical office space within the Community Redevelopment Area has been strong. Similarly, there is also a demand for other professional office space including legal offices. Such users prefer smaller scale personalized and affordable buildings prevalent in mixed-use downtown areas. This market demand is currently being met through use conversions of residential buildings, One such project, known as "Historic Executive Suites", involved the conversion of 4 residential structures into 19 office suites and offers a complete package of office support services. Additional opportunities exist for use conversion or home occupation within the Old School Square Historic Arts District. Although, it was once believed that the South County Courthouse would significantly increase the market potential for legal office office space in the area, this has not proved the case. With no jury trials or jury pools, the potential for additional office space is minor. C, Hotel Development Potential Within the Community Redevelopment Area the largest and most modern hotel is the 150 room Camino Real Holiday Inn at Atlantic Avenue and Ocean Boulevard. At present, the market for this hotel is balanced with business travelers and tourists. A planned 100 room expansion of the facility was approved by the City in 1991. Additional facilities within the downtown area, including the historic Colony Hotel, account for an additional 231 hotel rooms. Redevelopment efforts within the downtown area, aimed at increasing the tourism potential, may encourage limited future demand for additional hotel rooms. However, because only a very small proportion of the Community Redevelopment Area possesses the amenity of ocean-frontage, it is unlikely that an additional large-scale tourist-relaled hotel could be supported within the Area. 3.10 D. Industrial Development Potential When the City of Delray Beach was founded, a major means for the shipment of goods to and from northern markets, was the railroad. Hence, the Central Business District of the City logically d.eveloped around the railroad line. The railroad is not; however, without its negative impacts (e.g. noise, & vibration), particularly on Iow intensity development. Therefore, adjacent properties developed primarily into a heavy commercial/light industrial land use pattern. Prior to the adoption of the Land Development Regulations in October 1990, special provisions were incorporated into the zoning code to permit specific land uses in addition to those ordinarily allowed within the respective zoning districts. This was done so the higher intensity existing land uses centered around the railroad corridor would remain conforming with respect to zoning. Althou these provisions were continued in the new I.

This expansion will occur in the eastern portion of the Pineapple Grove Neighborhood, along both sides of the railroad tracks, between N.E. 1st Street and N.E. 4th Street. The establishment of this 'Pineapple Grove Business Parl~' will require a concentrated effort to promote the advantages of the relatively Iow cost sites with available infrastructure in order to attract significant additional businesses to the area. A "business park" type improvement effort that would involve some coordinated streetscape and landscape improvements would be helpful as would a coordinated marketing effort similar to those of private business parks. The thematic focus of the business park will be on arts, crafts, design professions, specialty construction services, etc., which will give the area a certain synergy not found in the newer business parks west of town. This area will also provide support for the retail development along Pineapple Grove way, which would showcase art, crafts, and other products produced in the adjacent business park. Although undeveloped property within the area is limited, it is important to note that redevelopment with this thematic focus may be appropriate in much of the area. The future success of this particular initiative is difficult to assess, likely being dependant on good marketing and the early capture of a few key tenants to set the tone. There is evidence in South Florida that initiatives of this type can work. Illustrative examples are the Design District, north of downtown Miami and the "Bird Village" area of Coral Gables. While success for this concept is not easily predictable, the concept is worthy of support for the following reasons: o The revitalization of the downtown core as a retail/residential area requires stabilization of its fringe areas such as Pineapple grove; and o Successful industrial redevelopment within Pineapple Grove could provide enhanced economic opportun#ies for the economically disadvantaged areas immediately west of the downtown through the creation of additional employment opportunities. Another area of the CRA which has the potential for additional industrial development is the Interstate 95/SW 10th Street area. This area. located in the southwest corner of the Community Redevelopment Area. contains a mix of light industrial and commercial land uses together with a large gl ily ighb cemetery and a sin e fam residential ne orhood ""- "' ' "' ......' ...... ^ ...... :- 3.11 .... ~ ......... L~h~ =nd~;~r=al. It is important to note; however, that the proximity of the City's Series 20 Wellfield makes it imperative that t%o,~ c~,,"';;,';,,",,~,'~t~ .._A,. enly deyelopment of this area ibel iestricted to clean industries which are non-impacting on the we,field. E. Residential Development Potential As previously cited, population growth in Palm Beach County has been high in recent years, resulting in the demand for an additional 165,991 housing units from 1980 to 1990, with the bulk of it located in new developments west of 1-95. In spite of this high regional housing demand, little of this growth is being accommodated within the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Area due largely to the characteristics of its existing neighborhoods. Overall, this area contains the majority of the older, poorer quality housing within the City. The bulk of these neighborhoods are occupied by Iow-moderate income minority households, the majority of which cannot afford adequate housing in today's high-priced market. Key opportunities for housing development relate to the availability of a significant number of vacant land parcels within the older residential neighborhood. One recently completed project, known as 'Ailamanda Gardens", features home ownership of three-bedroom, two-bath units on single family lots. Additional opportunities still exist for private development of both subsidized and non-subsidized infill housing. In addition to the need for housing to serve the needs of Iow-moderate income households, there is also an opportunity to attract younger upwardly mobile households within and adjacent to a revitalizing downtown area. The ability to attract such a market is largely related to the development of downtown as a lively center for shopping, entertainment and cultural activities. Specific opportunities relate to the revitalization of the existing older housing stock within the Old School Square Historic Arts District, to the immediate west of downtown. Furthermore, the high occupancy rates of multi-family residential units in such locations as Coconut Grove, South Beach (Miami Beach), and Mizner Park indicates that a segment of the market at a wide range of prices is attracted to residential environments that combine housing and commercial uses in a 'village-like" ambiance. IV. Neighborhood Impacts of Redevelopment Efforts The following section describes the potential impacts of redevelopment efforts on the residential neighborhoods of the Community Redevelopment Area and surrounding areas. While neighborhood impacts have been considered for the specific redevelopment actions recommended in this Plan, it should be noted that many of these projects are in the early stages of planning. Therefore, some impacts resulting from their implementation may as yet be undetermined. As these projects become more clearly defined, and additional impacts are identified, this section of the Plan will be amended. Other actions described in the Plan for subsequent years are subject to further refinement and elaboration in the intervening period and are consequently not included in the consideration of short range impacts. A. Relocation Of Displaced Residents and Businesses Residential relocations are contemplated by this plan in connection with two projects. These projects are, the Block 60 Redevelopment Project and expansion of the South County Courthouse. While no other relocations are anticipated at this time, it is important to note that changing conditions or modifications to planned projects may result in some residential displacement. In the event that existing or future CRA lead agency projects do require the relocation of residents, a relocation plan will be submitted as a component of the project package prior to official action on the project. It is also important to note that through the combined efforts of the Community Redevelopment Agency, the City, and the private development community, the neighborhood housing stock will be 3.12 expanded and thereby provide opportunities for the relocation of residents elsewhere in the neighborhood. The displacement of some existing businesses is contemplated with the majority of the planned redevelopment projects of the CRA. During the planning phase of each redevelopment project, the relocation of displaced businesses will be considered. -' To protect the residents within the Community Redevelopment Area, the CRA shall formally adopt a relocation policy containing procedures for relocation, (See Policy B-4.4, Part 5 of this Plan). When required by redevelopment actions, the relocation of residents within the Community Redevelopment Area will follow these procedures. Expenses and financial assistance required by these procedures shall become the responsibility of the Community Redevelopment Agency. B. Traffic Circulation Although the proposed redevelopment actions will inevitably increase overall traffic, the Community Redevelopment Area is blessed with an existing roadway network that services the entire area. Additionally, the Decade of Excellence Bond contains many traffic circulation improvement projects including street reconstructions, alleyway improvements and road widenings, which will increase the functional capacity of the existing system. The major redevelopment projects contained within this plan are generally adjacent to major transportation corridors and are not anticipated to degrade traffic circulation within the residential areas of the Community Redevelopment Area. The major impacts of the CRA's redevelopment efforts on the existing roadway network will occur through its efforts to revitalize and redevelop the downtown core ~dWest Atlantic A~enue. It should be noted; however, that continued development and redevelopment of the compact downtown core should also encourage alternate means of transportation, particularity where employment and housing are within walking distance of each other. A component of the redevelopment effort is the provision of housing units within the downtown area. Many of the residents of these housing units will then be able to walk or bicycle to shopping or to work. Several other redevelopment projects, located outside the downtown, are aimed at increasing economic vitality through the addition of employment or shopping opportunities. The close proximity of residential development to these projects will, as in the downtown, create opportunities for residents to walk or bicycle to work. Although implementation of individual redevelopment projects may require improvements or modifications to the existing roadway network, these localized impacts will be reviewed when specific project designs are undertaken. It is also recommended that architectural and site-specific design solutions be considered to mitigate potential traffic and parking impacts of specific projects on adjacent residential neighborhoods. C. Environmental Quality The redevelopment actions proposed in the Plan are intended to improve the environmental quality within the Redevelopment Area. At least one program, the Subsidized Loan Program, will have positive impacts throughout the Community Redevelopment Area. This program allows residents and businesses throughout the area to make exteri~)r improvements to their properties which they could not otherwise afford. It is expected that improvements associated with this program will foster a new sense of community pride and spur additional revitalization efforts throughout the area. Streetscape and landscape improvements associated with many of the redevelopment projects will, when completed, upgrade the overall appearance of surrounding areas. Several projects, involving removal of existing uses and then full-scale redevelopment will improve the appearance of several blocks within the downtown. 3.13 D. Availability of Community Facilities and Services Since the Community Redevelopment Area contains the oldest sections of the City, it has the availability of the full range of community services and facilities associated with urbanized areas. However, due to the age of these systems, there is a potential problem with their condition and/or poor design. Therefore, implementation of individual redevelopment projects and streetscape beautification projects may require improvements or modifications to existing systems. In recent years, the-City of Delray Beach has expended considerable funds on infrastructure improvements and beautification efforts. Additionally, the City has committed over 21 million dollars to public improvements, currently under way, through its Decade of Excellence bond program. The maiority of the improvements funded by the bond are located within the Community Redevelopment Area, including several major drainage projects and the new Fire Station Headquarters. Recreational facilities throughout the Community Redevelopment Area are being retained and in many instances undergoing extensive improvements under the City's Decade of Excellence Bond. Additionally, the City is :,n th~ procs$~ ,~: ..... ~, ..... u *J,~.:~:~p!e~ed:::~.~enslve renovation of the Municipal Tennis Center. E. Effect on School Population At the present time, there are four existing public schools within the Community Redevelopment Area and one school, Pine Grove Elementary is on the fringe. Information on permanent capacity and current student population is provided in the following table: :.:$Ch~i' : :i!::~;i!: !.;!:...: :::!:. i:!!;.;: :'..:::i~' ee~ane~t:i:'.:~ ::.::.it~3/i~34 .::::: :::::Students S.

'-~'~ The School Board has also planned for expansion of Atlantic High School and Pine Grove Elementary to meet the existing demand. No other major actions affecting existing school facilities within the Redevelopment Area are planned by the Palm Beach County School Board at this time. The residential development programs identified within the Community Redevelopment Plan will likely represent only a small percentage of overall County population growth. However, based on current overcrowded conditions in three of the five existing area schools and demographic projections indicated by the County, additional housing development and population growth in the Community Redevelopment Area will likely contribute to some extent to the overcrowded school conditions that now exist. 3.14 V. Relationship to the City's Comprehensive Plan Florida Statutes require that the Community Redevelopment Plan be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. In order to remain current in the fast-paced, highly volatile economylof South Florida, the Community Redevelopment Plan will have to be amended when programs are changed or as new programs and projects that were not included in the original plan are proposed. To maintain consistency with the City's Plan a two-tiered approach will be used during the amendment process. The first step in the process is an administrative determination by the City Manager, or his designee, as to whether the proposed amendment is procedural/technical (e.g. changes to dates, amounts of project funding, updates, etc.) or substantive, (adoption of a new program). Under the former determination, the amendment would go directly to the City Commission with the staff finding. Under the latter, the amendment would first be reviewed by the LPA (P&Z Board) for determination of consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan and then forwarded to the City Commission with recommendations. Since amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan require a time consuming process and are allowed only twice a year except in cases of emergency, the Community Redevelopment Plan will not be completely assimilated into the Comprehensive Plan. Those portions of the CRA Plan and subsequent amendments which involve only the resources of the CRA will not be included within the City's Comprehensive Plan. However, whenever significant City Participation is a part of a CRA project and such participation has not been addressed in the Comprehensive Plan, it may be necessary to process a Comprehensive Plan Amendment prior to action by the City. Generally, it will be necessary to amend the Comprehensive Plan in order to accommodate the following: o Those porb'ons of the CRA Plan which would otherwise be in conflict or inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan as it is now written; o To provide City financing, or financial assistance, to projects Identified in the CRA Plan which are not already in the Comprehensive Plan; and o To reassese and modify existing policies in the Land Use Element calling for joint CRA/City participation. It is anticipated that implementation of some of the Community Redevelopment Agency's programs will require City financing or financial assistance. Additionally, this Community Redevelopment Plan is recommending several changes of Future Land Use designation and amendments to the City's Land Development Regulations. Redevelopment projects which are dependant upon these actions may be delayed until the City can make the required changes. 3.15 Part Four: The Redevelopment Program PART FOUR: THE REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM I. Redevelopment Strategies A. Sub-Area 1: The 'Downtown Area" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be to increase the overall intensity of the downtown. New development and redevelopment projects shall be structured to increase both daytime and nighttime activity within the area, but shall be appropriately designed and strategically located to maintain the "village like" character of the area. Effods to increase residential development within the area shall play a key role in the revitalization efforts. B. Sub-Area 2: "The Governmental and Cultural Center" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be twofold: (1) Provide for a central consolidation of government facilities and support services within the City along the Atlantic Avenue Frontage through redevelopment of property to uses which complement the South County Courthouse and City Hall Complex; and, (2) Provide for the location of mixed uses of residential, offices and arts related commercial activities which encourage the restoration and preservation of the "Old School Square Historic Arts District" C. Sub-Area 3: "The West Atlantic Avenue Corridor" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be to create a positive visual impact and to emphasize its importance as the an entrance to the downtown core of the City. Redevelopment projects within the corridor shall be either residential, neighborhood commercial (meeting the service needs of the surrounding neighborhood), community commercial (meeting the service needs of the community at large) or mixed use consisting of both residential and commercial development. D. Sub-Area 4: "The Residential Core" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be threefold. (1) Conservancy of existing good- quality housing; (2) Rehabilitation or demolition/replacement of substandard housing; and, (3) Development of additional housing units appropriately located on vacant lots within the area. E. Sub-Area 5: "North Federal Highway" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be twofold: (1) Selective redevelopment of the Federal Highway frontage in order to eliminate obsolete and deteriorated buildings, reduce negative impacts, and provide for better utilization of land and resources in keeping with the high visibility location; and, (2) Stabilization of the residential-neighborhoods through selective revitalization and rehabilitation efforts. F. Sub-Area 6: "Northeast Neighborhood" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be to arrest the further decline of the neighborhood through revitalization and other programs aimed at stabilization. G. Sub-Area 7: "Osceola Park" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be twofold: (1) Redevelopment of the northern portion of the area (i.e. north of 5th street) as a mixed use area containing commercial and high density residential development; and, (2) Stabilization of the residential neighborhood in the southern portion of the area through selective revitalization and rehabilitation programs. 4.1 H. Sub-Area 8: "1-95/10th Street" The redevelopment strategy for this area shall be twofold: (1) Increase the amount of industrially zoned land in the area for clean industrial uses which will not impact the adjacent wellfield; and, (2) Stabilization of the existing residential neighborhood through selective revitalization and rehabilitation programs. II. The Project Decision Process In order to understand the project decision process, it is important to first note that the Community Redevelopment Agency cannot possibly fund the immense task of redevelopment on its own. It must therefore structure its programs to act as catalysts for redevelopment efforts by individual residents and businesses within the CRA and to leverage investment by private enterprise. With limited resources available for redevelopment efforts, the Agency must be careful not to spread itself to thin by attempting to do too much at once. Innovative programming on the part of the Agency is necessary to maximize benefits from expenditures. Since the implementation of a few strategically placed well-funded programs may have a much greater impact on the overall area than many inadequately funded ones, programs must be evaluated in the context of "The Big Picture" and implemented accordingly. III. Community Redevelopment Agency Projects and Programs The projects and programs of the Community Redevelopment Agency are designed to solve underlying problems which have a blighting influence on the Community Redevelopment Area, satisfy basic needs of the populace or take advantage of opportunities for economic, social or aesthetic improvement. Overall redevelopment strategies of both the CRA and the City are embodied within these projects and programs undertaken by the CRA. This portion of the Plan is the heart of the Community Redevelopment Program. The following sections provide a detailed description of all current and proposed projects and programs for which funding is provided, or will be provided, by the Community Redevelopment Agency. For organizational purposes, these projects and programs have been divided into three groups: Group "1 ": Planning; Group "2": Redevelopment; and Group "3": Community Improvement. This organizational structure is not; however meant to be mutually exclusive, since many projects contain components which fit into more than one category. A. GROUP "1": PLANNING # 1.1: "Downtown Core Geographic Area of Exception" This project was completed in FY 1991/1992 (See Appendix "E" for description of project) # 1.2: "West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan" Background The West Atlantic Corridor between NW and SW 1st Streets was designated as "Redevelopment Area #1" on the City's Land Use Plan. Due to its location and land use pattern, this area has considerable potential for mixed-use development. Specific guidelines pertaining to the area are contained within the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Policy C-2.4 and Housing Element Policy B-3.1. The 4.2 Comprehensive Plan calls for the preparation of a "Redevelopment Plan" which will be adopted as a local Plan amendment. Once adopted, this plan will become the primary document for directing redevelopment efforts in the area. Prior to adoption of the Redevelopment Plan, public investment - in terms of infrastructure - is to be minimal and private development proposals are to be deferred until the plan is completed or considered on their own merits with existing zoning and the policies of the Comprehensive Plari. A redevelopment strategy for this area was presented to the public in 1988, which outlined substantial demolition and would have required the relocation of a large number of displaced residents and businesses. This plan met with considerable public opposition and was abandoned. In 1993, the CRA organized the first phase of the planning effort by inviting numerous community members to a series of organizational meetings to discuss the concept of developing a West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan. These meetings, which were facilitated by professional planners, resulted in the organization of a larger community based Steering Committee of over 50 people. The initial charge of this Steering Committee was to develop a process and strategy for the planning effort. The Steering Committee participants referred to themselves as "Stakeholders" in the resulting process which was termed "Visions West Atlantic". "Visions West Atlantic' is a forum for a series of community meetings which will ultimately produce recommendations concerning redevelopment issues for West Atlantic Avenue. These recommendations are-theft-lo form the backbone of the redevelopment plan, Which waSadoPted by Me city in 1995. in' i994, 'the Community "visions meetings,'~recognized that the need to facilitate' the'~;edevelopment Of WeSt'AtlantiCAvenue 'WOUld not stop .with completion .of the plan.

Due to the character and condition of the downtown area, a unique blend of development, redevelopment, and revitalization will be needed in order to achieve its ultimate development potential. The purpose of the CBD Development Plan is to provide an overall framework within which future development decisions may be made. Many studies and projects have been undertaken, upon which, the specifics of the overall Development Plan for the downtown may be built. These include, the Downtown Core GAE application, the CBD Alleyway Improvement Program, the Parking Study Committee report and various downtown improvement projects authorized by the Decade of Excellence Bond. ~! i~[!~ii.~arlY 1!.995, ithe Fl0tida Departmentof.?ra~rtatio~':~greed 'to ~ist ~lra~Beach to es~!ish ~*;~i~ansportation G. on~rrenw ExCepti0n~ea ~CEA)~,_ i!~additiont6.::!h'edOwnt0~'area~i~uded in the ~dgi~a! ~E, the:TCEA has. beeh expandedtb inblud~ west Atlantic Avenue :betweenS~nt0h Avenue and [~ig~;i:;:~d EaSt Atlantic Avenue i~tW~n the .!n~,c°asta!

Project Schedule o Begin Plan in FY 1993/1994. Complete Plan in ~ ~i-:!.995~1996~ # 1.4: "Master Parking Program" Background The problem of parking has long been a major point of concern within the City of Delray Beach. Specific issues, such as CBD parking regulations, in-lieu fees, adequacy of the existing parking supply and the use of meters in the downtown have continued to be points of controversy among community leaders. In July, of 1991, the City commission appointed a Parking Study Committee under the direction of the Community Redevelopment Agency to address these and other issues and reach a consensus on how to deal with the so called "parking problem" in Delray Beach. The recommendations of the Committee was officially presented to the City Commission in mid 1992 in the form of a "Master Parking Plan". In making its determination on how to address the various parking related issues, it was decided that existing revenue sources do not generate sufficient funds to allow independent operation of a Parking Authority. However, with an aggressive program, an independent authority could be established in the future. In the interim, a Parking Management Team (PMT) was appointed by the City Commission to handle referrals of parking related issues as well as the implementation of the Master Parking Program. This Parking Management Team is charged with the responsibility of maintaining and operating an adequate supply of parking within the Atlantic Avenue corridor and downtown area. To fund its activities, the Parking Management Team will have access, with authorization by the City Commission, to a Parking Reserve Fund. This fund, which initially contains the City's in-lieu parking fees will ultimately contain other revenues generated by the parking system as well as any direct contributions by the City and various agencies as appropriate. Program Obiectives o The provision, operation and maintenance of an adequate supply of parking to meet current and future demand. program Description 4.5 o Acceptance and adoption of a Master Parking Plan by the City Commission. (Accomplished in 1992) o Establishment of a Parking Management Team by the City. (Accomplished October 27, 1992 via City Resolution No. 121-92) o The City will initiate appropriate amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Dev~elopment Regulations as required to implement the program. o Establishment of a Parking Resewe Fund and identification of appropriate revenue sources to fund it. o Administration of the-Program by the Parking Management Team o Expenditures from the Parking Reserve Fund will require authorization by the City Commission program Participants and Administration o The City Commission shall be responsible for appointments of representatives to the Parking Management Team and for organization of the Parking Reserve Fund. o The City Planning Department shall be responsible for initiation of appropriate amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and LDR's. o Representatives shall be nominated through the CRA o The CRA shall provide clerical and logistic support for the team o The Team shall be comprised of a representative from each of the following: CRA; DDA; P&Z Board; City Commission; Chamber of Commerce; Business operator and/or land owner in original DDA area; Business operator or land owner in expanded CBD; Business operator and/or land owner in commercial beach area; Business operator or land owner on West Atlantic Avenue; and, Business operator or land owner in the OSSHAD Zoning District. o The CRA's representative to the team shall hold the chairmanship Fundlng Sources o Various parking related revenues as deemed appropriate by the City Commission. o Additional City, CRA and DDA contributions as appropriate. Program Schedule o- The program was implemented in FY 1992/1993 # 1.5: "Del Ida Park Neighborhood Improvement Plan" Background This Historic District, commonly~known as 'Del Ida Park", is bounded by N.E. 4th Street, N.E. 8th Street, Swinton Avenue and the F.E.C. Railroad. Zoning in the area includes 'R-1-AA Single-Family Residential", "RL Low Density Residential" and 'RO Residential/Office". Land uses are varied, containing a mixture single-family and multi-family residences and professional/medical offices. The area contains many historic structures and has a unique quality that is attractive to small scale office users and home occupations. With beautification and elimination of some of the blighted conditions, expansion of these types of uses in the area is likely. The medical professionals in the area are particularly interested in participating in the improvement of the neighborhood. The major goal of this planning effort is the implementation of a community based neighborhood improvement program which is primarily funded by the property owners. Program Objectives 4.6 o Elimination of slum and blighted COnditions, particularly on N.E, 3rd Avenue and N.E. 4th Street to prevent the of these conditions to other parts of the neighborhood. o Encourage development and redevelopment on RO zoned property, particularly for medical offices. o Promote historic preservation o Promote residential rehabilitation o Increase employment and business opportunities in the area, Program Descri~)tion o Prepare a comprehensive study of the area including: - Organization of neighborhood residents and businesses to discuss the opportunities for the area. - Investigation of the permitted uses within the area's existing zoning districts and evaluate their impact on the area as a whole. - Evaluation of the existing utilities systems, landscaping, roadways, parking and pedestrian circulation system. - Evaluation of the feasibility of creating a "Property Assessment District" to fund improvements. o Present study and recommendations to the City o Prepare Construction Plans and Cost Estimates for proposed improvements. These improvements may include beautification of the perimeter streets with added landscaping, signage and decorative street lighting; upgrading utilities (especially drainage); and the addition of sidewalks where needed. Program Participants and Administration o The program will be administered and coordinated by the CRA. o The City will play a major role in formulation of the Plan. Assistance will be obtained from various City Departments, including Planning, Community Improvement, Environmental Services, Police and Fire. o Other participants include property owners and businesses in the area. Funding Sources o The CRA will provide funding for the planning effort including any outside consulting services that are necessary o Other sources may include, but are not limited to, the property owners and businesses in the area and public and private grants o The City will provide technical support from various City Departments Program Schedule o The program will commence in FY 1993/1994 # 1.6: "Osceola Park Redevelopment & Neighborhood Improvement Plan" Background This Downtown area is generally located between Federal Highway and the F.E.C. Railroad, south of the Central Business District. Zoning in the area includes 'R-1-A Single-Family Residential", 'RM Medium Density Residential", "GC General Commercial" and "CBD Central Business District". Land uses are varied, containing a mixture single-family and multi-family residences, commercial, and light industrial development. Since the area is encompassed by wellfield protection zones, impacts of non-residential land uses on the wellfield is a major concern. 4.7 The northern portion of the area (north of S.E. 5th Street) contains ~ commercial and light industrial development with inadequate parking and residential uses sandwiched between incompatible land uses. This portion of the area has been designated as 'Redevelopment Area # 5" by the City. The intent is to redevelop this area into a mixed use district, containing higher density residential and compatible non-residential development with adequate parking and services. The CRA will work with the City in preparation of a redevelopment plan for this area. South of S.E. 5th Street, the character of Osceola Park changes drastically. This area is generally single-family in nature with a majority of the units in rentals. The overall condition of the housing is generally good, although there are many structures in need of maintenance and minor repairs. The area has a unique quality that is attractive for residents who wish to live in a single-family home located close to the City's commercial core. With beautification and elimination of blighted conditions, this area can be stabilized and the number of owner-occupied units increased. Program Objectives o Elimination of slum and blighted conditions. o Promote historic preservation o Promote residential rehabilitation o Protection of the City's wellfield o Promote owner-occupied housing Program Descri_otion o The program shall consist of three phases. o Phase 1 shall be to perform an historic survey of the existing structures in the area and determine if a portion of the area should be designated an historic district o Phase 2 shall be to assist the City in the preparation of a Redevelopment Plan for the northern portion of the area designated as "Redevelopment Area t/5" o Phase 3 shall be for the CRA to prepare a comprehensive study of the remaining area including: - Organization of residents to discuss the opportunities for the neighborhood. - Potential impacts of Phase 1 Redevelopment Plan proposals on this area. - Evaluation of the existing utilities systems, landscaping, roadways, parking and pedestrian circulation system. - Evaluation of the feasibility of creating a 'Property Assessment District" to fund improvements. - Preparation of Construction Plans and Cost Estimates for proposed improvements. These improvements may include beautification of the perimeter streets with added landscaping, signage and decorative~street lighting; upgrading utilities (especially drainage); and the addition of sidewalks where needed. - Present study and recommendations to the City Program Participants and Administration o Phases 1 and 2 will be administered and coordinated by the City. The CRA will provide assistance. o Phase 3 will be administered and coordinated by the CRA. The City will play a major role in formulation of the Plan. Assistance will be obtained from various City Departments, including Planning, Community Improvement, Environmental Services, Police and Fire. o Other participants include property owners and businesses in the area. Funding Sources 4.8 o The CRA will fund the cost of any outside consultants utilized in Phase 1 o The City will be responsible for Phase 2 costs. o The CRA will provide funding for Phase 3, including any outside consulting services that are necessary. o The City will provide technical support from various City Departments for Phase 3. o Other sources may include, but are not limited to, the property owners and businesses in the area and public and private grants Program Schedule o Phase I of the program will be completed ic~c~-'!~.9~+994 o Phase 2 and 3 will begin in FY 1994/1995 B. GROUP '2": REDEVELOPMENT # 2.1: 'Peach Umbrella Plaza I" Background This project is in response to a community based initiative, spearheaded primarily by two property owners, Mr. Clay Wideman, owner of two buildings, and Mrs. Charlotte Durante, agent of two buildings. The owners have created a nonprofit corporation, Peach Umbrella Plaza Association, together with several merchants in their respective buildings, for the purpose of promoting commerce for the Plaza. The Community Redevelopment Agency initially became involved in the project in 1989 when it funded the preparation of a Schematic Plan for the redevelopment. Subsequent CRA actions included acquisition of the Taxi-Stand property in 1990 and the former Georgia Town Tavern site in 1991. Negotiations for acquisition of additional properties were begun in 1990 but were discontinued in January 1991 when the Board decided tl~at further acquisition without additional planning and marketing was premature. The Association continued its efforts to market the Plaza and gain community support with its annual fall festival and through its efforts to lease building space in the project. The CRA became involved again in October 1991 when it prepared a preliminary Site Plan and Project Proposal. The Board agreed to allocate $30,000 to fund Phase One of the Proposal on November 7, 1991. In 1993, the CRA initiated Phase II (facade Improvements), including the purchase of a "facade easemenf' and facade restoration for the Wideman buildings. Also in 1993, Checkers Drive-In Restaurant, Inc. purchased two properties in the project and opened a new restaurant on the south side of Atlantic Avenue, adjacent to the Wideman Building. Project Objectives ' o Eliminate blighted conditions along West Atlantic Avenue o Encourage minority business development o Demonstrate a commitment by the CRA to a redevelopment project outside the downtown. o Provide a catalyst for future development on adjoining blocks of West Atlantic and further minority business development o Provide additional neighborhood shopping opportunities and services for area residents. o Provide adequate parking for shoppers and office users to stimulate consumer demand o Creation of jobs Project Description o The redevelopment project is a public/private venture between the CRA and the Peach Umbrella 4.9 Plaza Association. o The project consists of land and buildings in Blocks 28 & 29 of the City of Delray Beach. This includes properties fronting the 400 block of West Atlantic Avenue and other properties to the rear which front on N,W./S.W. 4th or N.W./S.W. 5th Avenues. o Project may also include development of parking facilities on adjacent blocks to support tl'{e project o Parking lots constructed on the project may include private lots, municipal lots and lots which are sold or leased to private entities. Developers and users located in the Redevelopment Project or on adjacent properties may make arrangements to pay the CRA or other public or private entity a fee to lease or purchase enough parking spaces to meet City parking requirements for their use. Checkers used this arrangement to meet is parking requirements o The Project is to be developed as a neighborhood commercial center, containing goods and services intended to serve the surrounding neighborhood as well as appeal to a larger market outside the area. o Project to contain approximately 20,000 to 30,000 sq.ft, of gross leasable area or more if marketing determines the need for a larger center. o Architectural style of the project will attempt to convey the theme of a festival marketplace and will be responsive to the multi-ethnic culture of the neighborhood. o The Project is divided into four Phases: Phase 1: Planning, Marketing and Economic Feasibility Phase 2: Building Renovation; Facade Improvements (utilizing Facade Easements; Parking Facilities (utilizing Parking Easements and Municipal Parking Lots) and other Site Improvements (e.g. paver blocks, signage, decorative lighting, street furniture, etc.) Phase 3: Land Acquisition for Plaza Expansion, including parking (Refer to Appendix "D" for Land Acquisition Map) and Construction of additional parking. Phase 4: {=and-Sales of CRA property holdings to Developers and Users for the Construction of Additional Buildings ~[:~ehabi!ite~ti~n-:0~.e~sting buildings.

Program Schedule o Program was implemented in March 1992 # 2.3: "Downtown Anchor and Parking" I~ackground The 1986 Community Redevelopment Plan identified the need for a 50,000 to 60,000 sq. ft. junior department store and/or mixed use development to serve as an additional anchor for the downtown retail core. The Plan proposed that the project occur after 1990 and included a proposed allocation of $500,000 to assist in covering the cost of land assembly, relocation and infrastructure. In 1988 to 1989, efforts were made by the City, the CRA and the DDA to attract Jacobson's Department Store to Downtown Delray Beach. Several studies including a Master Parking Plan, a Downtown Retail Study and a Economic/Fiscal Impact Study were prepared, negotiations took place and proposals were written. Ultimately, both the CRA and the City endorsed the location of Jacobson's at Atlantic Plaza and agreed to provide a parking structure to support the development. A final proposal was completed outlining total costs of the garage and the sharing of costs. The CRA then proceeded under the proposal to acquire the land for the parking structure. When the CRA's actions were legally challenged as being inconsistent with the adopted Redevelopment Plan, the project was terminated. In 1993, the CRA, in conjunctiog with the City and the Chamber of Commerce, reinitiated contact with Jacobson's. The CRA prepared a preliminary development plan and presented the proposal to '""- dy' dy "-'" '-- Jacobson's .... ,~ D~p~,~,~n~ s:~re ~$ $:u lng '"~,,,,~ pr~possJ~ Further stu ..... ,~ r~,qu~r~d ~n ~ , ~o.~, .....y th ........... ,-,, ,,-, , ............... h,~,--",,~ o,~,~,-"-':':---',,~,, ,o, ~,,o, .... ,,,,,;--,,. has been performed during ~.t 993/1994 and additional study and steps for imPlemenlati0n will be r~Uired in ~FY1994/1995 in order t{)attfact an. anchor Pro_iect Objectives o Provide economic stimulation and investment in the CBD. o Improve marketability of the retail core. o Increase activity in the downtown area Create JobS in the Downlown Area Project Description 4.12 Development of a mixed-use commercial project with the emphasis on one or more major .mteii tenants.

The economic importance of the Downtown and the need for major attractions and nighttime activity generators was well recognized in the 1986 Community Redevelopment Plan. The City, also realizing the importance of the CBD as a vital and competitive commercial marketplace, has included several policies in its Comprehensive Plan toward achieving that end. Blocks 77 and 85, located sOuth of Atlantic Avenue, are situated between the F,E,C,.Railroad tracks and $.E. 1st Avenue. The CRA began to plan acquisition of theSe bloCks.in :199~i for' the purpose of lOcating a major cinema operator and mixed retail uses in the downto'~ area, This location was chosen becauSe all the property was 'divided among only four owners on Block.77 and.two.owners on Block 85 ~(0ne of which is the City of Delray Beach); 'Additionally;' iargeportions of the twO.blOCks were undeveloped Nd the.major property holding on Block 85 was in foreclOsure,. The; situatiOn changed in i993 when a new i!O, Plex cinema was constructed at the Deiray Mall,' caUSing interest in a downtown cinema.to fade. The C~.mevaluated the project and decided to proceed with property acquisition under the assumption that fi'coUld assemble the property and attract a developer interested in constructing a mixed-use project at ~e location. ~i?? .:'i::.~; ;;3'he CRA aCquired the major parcel 'on Block 85'; frOnting Atlantic AvenUe' in December 1993 and ~dditiOhal :;~acant :prOperty in .the .rear in 1994,.

Avenue and the FEC Railroad, between Atlantic Avenue and N.E. 1st. Street, are adjacent to the Old School Square Cultural Arts Center. This location makes this a principal area to take advantage of spin-off activity generated by the Center. Both blocks contain structures in deteriorated condition and uses which have a blighting influence on the surrounding area and are inconsistent with the ultimate goals and proposed image for the Pineapple Grove Neighborhood. The primary land use in Block #84 is the former home of the now defunct Ocean City Lumber Company. This property was purchased at an RTC auction in 1992 and is now planned for redevelopment by a private 4.15 developer. A major obstacle to this "Ooean City Redevelopment' project is the lack of adequate parking in the immediate area. Sinoe this is also a problem for Old School Square, the CRA decided to make this the major focus of its redevelopment effort within these two blocks. With this goal in mind, the AgenCY began its program with the purchase of another former Ocean City Lumber property offered at the RTC auction in 1992. This property is located in Block #76, which is ideally situated between Old School Sqbare and the Ocean City Lumber Redevelopment Project (Block #84). In order to provide adequate parking for the area, the CRA plans to purchase additional property within Block #76, including the Pierce Tire property. It should also be noted, that this is one of the few locations which may take advantage of $500,000 of redevelopment seed money available under the Decade of Excellence Bond. In fact, the City has already allocated some of this seed money to reimburse the CRA for its prior purchase of the Ocean City Lumber property.

Due to its potential as a catalyst project on the Avenue, the Courthouse became a cornerstone of the 1986 Community Redevelopment Plan. The City successfully lobbied the County to locate the facility in the City in 1986. In its 1986 agreement with the County, the City donated 6.8 acres of land for Phase I of the project and pledged, through the CRA, to acquire an adjacent block and then donate it to the County sometime after 1996 for expansion of the facility. The 8 million dollar South County Courthouse, Phase I, opened in August, 1990. Although Phase II of the project had not yet been programmed, through its inclusion in the County's 5-year Capital Improvements Program, the Community Redevelopment Agency has already acquired several properties within the expansion area. These include, the 7-Eleven/Coin Laundry (1987), a six-unit Apartment Complex (1987) and Boca Auto Parts (1991). In 1993, the County, City and CRA amended the interlocal agreement (see Appendix "C"). This amended agreement states that the CRA will transfer the southern portion of Block #51 (south of the east/west alleyway) by October 1994. The County expects to construct a parking lot on this property to meet both existing and future demands of the Courthouse. Since the County is now planning to construct additional courtrooms by completing interior improvements in the existing facility, the construction of this parking lot will be required earlier than originally expected. Also under this amended agreement, the CRA may now retain ownership of the northern portion of the Block until at least 2001. If the County does not request conveyance of this property by the 31st of December, 2002, for expansion of the courthouse through the construction of additional .structures, the CRA will no longer be obligated to convey the property. Project Objectives o Improve the physical appearance of West Atlantic Avenue o Increase the level of activity in the area o Create spin-off opportunities for private sector redevelopment projects o Provide land for the County Courthouse parking expansion Project Description o Increasing activity at the South County Courthouse will require acquisition of the southern portion of Block #51 by the CRA in 1994 for construction of additional parking 4.17 o The CRA's agreement with the County identifies the additional land to be acquired to be located between S.W. 1st. and S.W. 2nd. Avenue. o The CRA will demolish the existing structures on the southern portion of the block (south of the alley) and convey this property to the County by October 1994. o The City will convey the necessary road and alley rights-of-way o The County will construct the expansion of the Courthouse facilities and the required parking. o The CRA will retain ownership of the northern portion of the Block until the County requests it for construction of additional structures. If the County makes no such request by December 31, 2002, the CRA will no longer be required to convey this property. o The CRA shall be the lead agency in the provision of relocation housing for residents displaced by the expansion pursuant to the CRA's Relocation Policy (Policy B-4-4 of this Plan) Project Participants and Administration o The County is responsible for expansion of the facility. o The CRA shall be the lead agency in the acquisition of the property within the identified expansion area. o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, and the Property Owners within the expansion area Funding Sources o The County will fund the expansion of the Courthouse facility, including parking lot construction. o The CRA will provide funding for the property acquisition. o Funding sources for the provision of relocation housing for displaced residents are to be determined, but may include the CRA, City and others as appropriate. Project Schedule o Acquisition of property by CRA b~gan in 1987. o The CRA will acquire the remaining parcel (The Norris Apartments) in FY 1993/1994. o The CRA will demolish the structures and convey the southern portion of the Block to the County by October, 1994 o If the County decides it needs the northern portion of the Block for additional structures, it will not make a request for conveyance before December 31, 2000. If this request is made, the CRA will have until December 31, 2001 to make the conveyance. # 2.7: "Pineapple Grove Neighborhood Plan Implementation" sinCe the major elemenis of this program 'have been incorp0rated into the Pineapple Grove Main street PrOgram, thiS prOgram Was deleted in FY .:1994/1995~ '"'- ........

It is also an expansion of previous City and CRA efforts to improve the environment along the major retail corridor of the Neighborhood. In August, 1989, the City Commission approved a streetscape program for Pineapple Grove Way. Improvements included the creation of landscape intersection nodes, street trees within the sidewalks, and four pods to accommodate previously commissioned sculptures. In 1990, as an outgrowth of the City's program, the CRA funded the preparation of a prototype design for the 100 block of Pineapple Grove Way, including additional streetscape and facade improvements. When the block design was completed, preliminary estimates indicated that the overall construction cost of the proposed improvements would be very exPensive. Although the neighborhood was generally enthusiastic and supportive of the plan, the downturn in the economic climate of the early 90's, made it impossible for the CRA to secure the required financial commitments from the businesses within the 100 block to participate in the program. Subsequently, the CRA was forced to put the project on hold. In 1992, the City completed the streetscape improvements to Pineapple Grove Way. These improvements provide the starting point for revitalization of the corridor. Another major improvement to the area was made in 1993 when the parking lot for the Post Office Shopping Center was reconstructed. The new design improved the internal traffic circulation system and added a significant amount of new landscaping. It is anticipated that further improvements as a result of existing development's compliance with the City's Landscape Code in October, 1993 are made. ]'~7~94,':.the Pineapple ' Grove Main strut Progi;am 'was 'bO~hl Uride~ a "tremendous outpouring of ~mmunity support and dedication to the .program, the City was aWarded the Main Street Designation by the .State of Florida.

This money will be paid over a 13-year period toward the project's debt service (See Appendix 'G' for a copy of the Interlocal Agreement). 4.21 # 2.11: "N. Federal Highway Improvement Program" Background The North Federal Highway (U.S. 1) commercial corridor is a major entrance to DelraY Beach; therefore, many visitors experience it as a visual first impression of the City. In its current condition, this corridor presents a poor visual impression of the entire area. In general, the properties fronting along Federal Highway are used for small-scale strip commercial development with little sense of order. Additionally, due to age and obsolescence, there are a substantial number of structures which require major renovation and/or demolition; have inadequate parking facilities and have a negative economic impact and blighting influence on the area. The primary commercial zoning district is 'GC- General Commercial", but several small 'AC- Automotive Commercial" areas are scattered within the area. Business uses are varied throughout the area, consisting of retail, auto-related businesses, light industrial uses and restaurants. As a result of City annexations and recent changes in the Land Development Code, many of these businesses are now non- conforming land uses. Existing residential development within the area is located behind the commercial strip on the east side of the corridor. Although there are some multi-family units located within the area, single-family homes are the prevailing residential land use. Unfortunately, many of these homes are in poor condition, requiring substantial maintenance, repair and rehabilitation. In 1992, the City began efforts to improve the infrastructure in the area by paving streets and installing water and sewer service. In November, 1991, the City Commission reached a consensus that the CRA consider means to improve the North Federal Highway commercial corridor. This program, which was originally adopted by the CRA in 1992 as the "North Federal Highway Land Use Transition Program", was in response to the City request A 's ....... t r fc, r =,, - o,,,~,~ ; ...... ~ ....... ,. .... ,~ .... ,,~,,o~ ..... Program Ob!ectives o Improve the visual appearance of the corridor o Reduce and eliminate marginal and inappropriate land uses. o Direct smaller business operations to more concentrated area. o Provide economic stimulation and investment in the area. o Creation of jobs, o Stabilize and preserve the residential neighborhoods through new development, redevelopment and the elimination of blight. Program Description o The Program is divided into two Phases o Phase 1 shall include preparation of a Redevelopment Program containing the following elements: - Inventory of all properties and identification of substandard, marginal and non-conforming land uses. - Recommendations on future land use - Methods of dealing with non-conforming land uses - Methods for conserving and upgrading appropriate uses - Methods of annexation of remaining County pockets in the area. - Infrastructure analysis - Identification of key properties for CRA acquisition, assembly and sale to private sector for 4.22 redevelopment. - Preparation of a beautification plan. - Cost/Benefit analysis of program components - Financial Plan, detailing total cost of the Program and methods of funding including utilization of all or part of TIF money within the area, bonding, borrowing, grants, etc. o Phase 2 shall be the implementation of the redevelopment program including the following: - Adoption of the program by City and amendment of City Comprehensive Plan where necessary for implementation. - Initiation of program components, including beautification plan - Creation of a North Federal Highway Business Association - CRA aacquisitionof key properties where necessary - CRA Consolidation of smaller properties and sale to private sector for redevelopment as larger scale commercial or residential projects. Program Participants and Administration o The CRA will administer and coordinate the program. o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, Palm Beach County (for unincorporated pockets), Florida Department of Transportation (controls US-1 ), Developers, and Individual Property and Business Owners.

This section of West Atlantic Avenue is in the midst of a major redevelopment effort including the newly constructed Police Station, South County Courthouse, Tennis Center and Fire Station #1, as well as other current projects such as Peach Umbrella Plaza. Since the church already owns a substantial portion of Block 28 and several lots in Block 36, it is in a favorable position to provide a positive boost to the city's ongoing redevelopment efforts. The large size of its congregation necessitates the provision of substantial parking for Sunday services. This presents an opportunity to utilize the parking for other purposes during the week, thus increasing the overall redevelopment potential of the area. The Church's goals for redevelopment include expansion of its existing building with increased parking and the 4.23 addition of a church supported community/educational center and an elderly housing project. The Church is also preparing a design for the historic marker on N.W. 5th Avenue and anticipates the construction of a more extensive historic monument commemorating the founding of the Church in the near future. Mount Olive began construction of the Church building addition, new parking lots and Upgrading its existing parking lots in 1993. In 1993, the Church acquired a small building on N.W. 5th Avenue which is proposed for a Youth or Community Center. The CRA gave the Church a $14,000 'Site Development Assistance" Grant in 1993, with the stipulation that the Church would paint and landscape the exterior of the building. P. ro!ect Objectives o Removal of slum and blighted conditions o Provision of additional parking opportunities for Peach Umbrella Plaza and the surrounding area. This may enable expansion of Peach Umbrella Plaza o Provision of church supported elderly housing o Provision of additional community recreational facilities by the church o Revival of the historic significance of the area Project Description o The redevelopment project area may include, but is not limited to portions of Blocks 20, 28 and 36. o Expansion of the church and parking facilities o Construction of additional features or expansion of the monument area to commemorate the historical importance of the area o The construction of elderly housing units o The construction of a community/educational center o The project shall be divided three phases o Phase 1 shall include identification of property to be acquired, planning, marketing and economic feasibility. o Phase 2 shall include property acquisition by the Church or the CRA as required to implement the project o Phase 3 shall include, but is not limited to, sale of any CRA acquired property and construction Project Participants and Administration o The Church, through close cooperation with the CRA shall take the lead role in the redevelopment effort. o The CRA may participate through utilization of its unique powers and financial resources as it deems appropriate to implemen~t the project. o Other participants in the project may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, and the Delray Merchants Association Funding Sources o The Church, CRA and others, as appropriate shall provide the funding for Phases 1 and 2 of the project o Funding for Phase 3 to be determined Project Schedule o Phase 1 began in 1992 o Phase 2 began in 1993 o Schedule for Phase 3 to be determined 4.24 # 2.14: "Downtown Core Improvement Program" Background The downtown core, between Swinton Avenue and the Intracoastal Waterway, has been in the midst of a major revitalization effort for several years. The Atlantic Avenue Beautification Prbject has contributed to the overall charm and appeal of the area for the pedestrian shopper. Other projects for the area contained within this CRA Plan or the City's Comprehensive Plan are geared to stimulate additional investment in the downtown by improving marketability. This program is designed to build upon previous efforts and set the stage for future initiatives to improve the downtown core as a center of business and social activity. Program Objectives o Provide economic stimulation and increase investment in the downtown core o Increase nighttime, activity o Improve visual appearance of existing structures and pedestrian accesses to parking areas o Strengthen the relationship between parking areas and destinations for downtown workers and visitors o Improve perceptions of nighttime safety for downtown visitors Program Description o The program may include, but is not limited to, the following elements: - Creation of a Downtown Historic District - Development of a uniform sign program and exterior facade design guidelines for the District - Formation of a "Downtown Joint Venture" with DDA, AAA and the Chamber of Commerce to fund a downtown management program with a full-time manager. (See agreement in Appendix "F") - As an enhancement to the City's CBD Alleyway Program the CRA shall coordinate with the City to develop Design Plans and implement additional improvements to upgrade municipal parking lots and provide pedestrian access to parking through alleyways.

As with Block #60, its location makes it imperative that it does not detract from the overall redevelopment efforts in the area. Therefore, it is unfortunate that vacant structures, including a defunct gas station at the intersection of Swinton Avenue and Atlantic have a blighting influence on the area. Since the gas station is nonconforming with respect to the City's zoning code and cannot be reopened, redevelopment or use conversion is the only option. With the remainder of the frontage also in poor condition, it appears that the best solution is to redevelop the entire frontage. Pro!ect Objectives o Elimination of blighting influences o Redevelopment of the Atlantic Avenue frontage to take advantage of its prime location o Increase in economic vitality through attraction of new business Project Description o Redevelopment compatible with Old School Square, South County Courthouse and the Municipal Tennis Center o Elements of the project shall include, but are not limited to, planning, marketing, land acquisitions (refer to Appendix "D" for Land Acquisition Map), solicitation of RFP's from private developers, selection of developer, sale of the CRA acquired property and construction of the project. Project Participants and Administration o The CRA shall be the lead agency in the acquisition of land and demolition. o Redevelopment of the property will be administered by the private sector. o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, and Chamber of Commerce. Funding Sources o The CRA and others, as appropriate, shall provide the funding for site acquisition and demolition. o Redevelopment of the property shall be funded by the private sector but the CRA may provide additional assistance to facilitate the effort o The CRA's Subsidized Loan Program and Business Development Program are available to provide additional assistance to busines~ses Project Schedule o Project to begin ir~ FY 1995/1996. # 2.17: "Peach Umbrella Plaza I1: A West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Effort" Background This program is an extension of the public/private redevelopment concept represented by Peach Umbrella Plaza. Although additional opportunities exist for private redevelopment of existing structures and vacant property along West Atlantic Avenue, it is difficult for the private sector to initiate such efforts without 4.28 public assistance. This program represents the CPA's intent to provide this assistance. Program Ob!ectives o Eliminate blighted conditions along West Atlantic Avenue o Encourage minority business development o Creation of jobs Program Description o Redevelopment projects shall be joint public/private ventures between the CPA and private developers o Projects will be developed consistent with the Redevelopment Plan for the West Atlantic Avenue corridor. o A major component of the program shall be site acquisition, assembly and resale for redevelopment. The CPA may also acquire property for construction of centralized parking facilities to service the surrounding areas. The parking lots constructed under this program may be municipal lots entirely for public use, may be sold or leased to private entities or may be a combination of both. Private users located in the surrounding areas may make arrangements to pay the CPA or other public or private entity a fee to lease or purchase enough parking spaces to meet City parking requirements for their use. o The target area for the above CPA property acquisitions shall be 300 feet north and south of the West Atlantic Avenue right-of-way, east of 1-95 (refer to Appendix "D" for Land Acquisition Map). o The CRA may also utilize property exchanges, whereby a property owner who wishes to develop, may exchange his property for CPA property located in another area. This would allow consolidation of similar types of development as well as provide opportunities for larger assemblages of vacant property to be made. o The CPA may offer additional incentives, such as demolition, and infrastructure improvements, on a case-by-case basis to further assist in the redevelopment effort. Such additional assistance shall be at the discretion of the CPA Board. Program Participants and Administration o The project will be administered and coordinated by the CPA o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City, Visions West Atlantic Steering Committee, the Minority Business Development Center, Parking Management Team, Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce, Delray Merchants Association, Property Owners and Project Developer(s). Funding Sources o The CPA and others, as appropriate, shall provide the funding for the program o The CPA's Subsidized Loan Program and Business Development Program are available to provide additional assistance to businesses within individual redevelopment projects. Program Schedule o Program to begin in-FY-.~ FY t994/1995. # 2.18: "8th Street (Tenneco Site) Redevelopment" Background This redevelopment project is located on the north side of NE 8th Street, between the Dixie Hwy 4.29 and Federal Hwy, the U.S.1 one-way pairs. The site currently contains a defunct Tenneco Gas Station and represents a blight to the community at a major roadway intersection of the City. In addition to removing a blighting influence, redevelopment of this site also presents the opportunity to beautify the intersection and to improve the parking/access for the property to the north. Pro!ect Ob!ectives o Elimination of blighting influence o Beautification of a major roadway intersection o Improve access and parking for the adjacent property Project Description o The Project may include, but is not limited to the following elements: planning, marketing, land acquisition (refer to Appendix "D" for Land Acquisition Map), demolition, parking lot construction, installation of landscaping, and the sale or lease of the CRA acquired property. It should be noted that acquisition of 1he property by the CRA will not take place until its resale or lease can be reasonably anticipated. o When sold, property may be subject to a beautification easement for areas adjacent to adjoining roadways Proiect Participants and Administration o The CRA shall be the lead agency in the acquisition of land and building demolition. o Lead responsibility for redevelopment to be determined, but shall be a joint public/private effort including the CRA o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, Chamber of Commerce, the Parking Management Team and Private Enterprise. Funding Sources o The CRA and others, as appropriate, shall provide the funding for the project. o After the property is sold, the CRA Subsidized Loan Program will be available to provide additional assistance to the property owner for redevelopment Project Schedule o Project began in FY 1993/1994 C. GROUP "3": COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT # 3.1: "CRA Subsidized Loan Program" Background After receiving various proposals from a number of banks relative to providing Iow interest loans for private residential and commercial property improvements as part of their obligations under the Community Reinvestment act, the CRA Board decided to request specific proposals and interest rates. The intent was to develop a pool of money from one or more banks which could be used to provide loans to Community Redevelopment Area residents. As an incentive and inducement for property owners to improve and upgrade their property, the CRA decided to assist them by buying down the interest and making no-interest loans available through the lending institutions. 4.30 On August 27, 1990 the CRA board amended its Community Redevelopment Plan through Resolution No. 90-A to provide for the implementation of the program to subsidize the interest on loans used to enhance or upgrade the exterior of privately owned properties within the Community Redevelopment Area. This action was further supported through adoption of Resolution No. 86-90 by the City Commission. After development of the criteria for the program and negotiations with the lending institution, the CRA entered into an agreement with First Union National Bank as the lender and the City of Delray Beach as the dispersing agent. The. program originally called for a maximum CRA commitment for FY 90/91 of $100,000 to fund the program. To further reinforce investment within the Community Redevelopment Area, the program has been expanded to include provisions for business loans and permanently fixed interior improvements for non- residential structures.

Grants Program Schedule 4.31 The Program was implemented in FY 1990/1991 # 3.2: 'Site Development Assistance Program" Background In 1991, the City of Delray Beach requested that the CRA provide funds for the removal and relocation of power poles, whi.ch due to the design of the Walgreens redevelopment project would obstruct on-site traffic flow. Although the City has its own program to accomplish this action, it was felt that the CRA should pay since the project was located within the Community Redevelopment Area and the CRA would receive substantial benefits' from the project in TIF revenues, The CRA agreed and subsequently amended its Redevelopment Plan to include a program for the removal of power poles and other obstructions from travelways within the Community Redevelopment Area, At that time, the program funding was limited to $3,500 which was the cost of the Walgreens project. In order to assist private sector redevelopment efforts, the CRA ~$ nc, w ~xp~.n~n~ exPanded its program. Through an annual allocation of funds, the CRA may now provide limited assistance for site development on a case-by case basis for private development and redevelopment projects, including site design and engineering. program Objectives o Encourage private redevelopment initiatives by providing assistance to overcome technical, administrative and economic obstacles to the site development of CRA selected projects within the Community Redevelopment Area. program Description o Use of the allocated funds for individual projects shall be solely at the discretion of the CRA. o Use of Loans, Grants and direct contracting of work by the CRA for site development purposes o i!n order to Preserve the .City's historic her!tage, .the CRA maypr0videgrants for the'relocation of fiistoric_strUCtures.: These graqts Sh_all be ~d.~to the proPerty ~wn'e~.jr~. annual installments, equal t-0¥~ '~{-cent~.'ge 'of"the Tax.

This may occur by creating jobs, increasing surrOunding property Values, preserving a historical struCture, providing a cultural amenity or by any other means approved by the CRA Board. - The CRA Board Will maintain Policy gUidelines regarding grant limits, annual payment amounts (based on percentage of TIF revenue), and time frame over which grant is to be paid. - The CRA Board will maintain Policy guidelines regarding credit enhancement including the amount, time limitations and other issues. 4.32 Program Participants and Administration o The program is administered by the CRA. o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the City of Delray Beach, Property Owners and Project Developers. Funding Sources o The CRA will provide.the funding for the program. o Program allocations shall be determined annually during the budget process or at the discretion of the CRA. Program Schedule o Program implemented in FY 1991/1992. # 3.3: "Community Activities Sponsorship Program" Background Since its creation, in 1985, the Community Redevelopment Agency has been asked to participate in and/or provide funding for a number of community events and projects. Since the programs and projects of the CRA have a direct impact on the residents of the district, the CRA must consider the problems, needs and desires of the people in its project decision-making process. Therefore, it is important to maintain an open line of communication between the agency and the residents. Expenditures for community projects and events which further the goals of the CRA are necessary from time to time in order to maintain and promote the CRA's role in community redevelopment. Program Objectives o Maintain a positive and involved role within the community. o Further the goals of the CRA through participation Program Description o Promote and sponsor community events, projects and programs which will lead to stabilization and expansion of the economic environment within commercial areas, revitalization and rehabilitation of the existing housing supply or further other basic goals of the CRA. Program Participants and Administration o The project will be administered by the CRA. o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, Community Groups and Organizations, Public Bodies and Private not-for-profit corporations. Funding Sources o The CRA will provide the funding for the program. o Program allocations shall be determined annually during the budget process or at the discretion of the CRA but shall not exceed $10,000 per fiscal year. 4.33 Program Schedule o Program was implemented FY 1991/1992 # 3.4: "Delray Beach Trolley System" Background In 1985, the Atlantic Avenue Task Force presented a report to the City Commission which outlined a list of proposed physical improvements along the Atlantic Avenue Corridor. One of the improvements discussed was the use of a tram system to connect the downtown area to A1A. The notion of a downtown shuttle was furthered in the City's Comprehensive Plan, which states that the City will develop a program for an in-town shuttle system which links the rail stations, the central business district, the beach, waterway access points, parking areas, community facilities and addresses needs of the elderly. It is hoped that development of a trolley system will significantly bolster downtown revitalization efforts. By providing a direct link to the rail station and the beach, the trolley will greatly increase the accessibility of the downtown to the residential neighborhoods east of 1-95 and others who may wish to utilize the Tri-Rail system for a day at the beach, to visit Old School Square or to shop in downtown Delray. In 1992, the CRA commissioned FAU/FIU Joint Center for Environmental and Urban Problems to give its recommendations on the development and operation of a trolley system in Delray. The report, entitled, "A Downtown Trolley: An Alternative Transportation Mode in the City of Delray Beach", recommended a three trolley fare-free system operating Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. While the cost for a system of this type is beyond the reach of the CRA at this time, it is hoped that the system could become feasible sometime in the near future with additional public and private funding sources. In the meantime, the CRA will continue to build support for the system by providing trolleys on a limited basis at special events. program Objectives o Develop an alternative means of transportation between the Tri-rail station and the beach along Atlantic Avenue. o Increase market appeal of the downtown, both to visitors and to new business Program Description o The program shall be divided into two phases. o Phase One shall include the following: - The CRA shall provide limited trolley se~ice at special events, on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the CRA Board; and, - The City shall be the lead agency in development of the full-scale program, (See City Comprehensive Plan Policy A-1.3. The CRA will work with the City to develop this program. Additionally, the CRA will coordinate with the COTRANS plan to expand service throughout the county, including Delray Beach in 1996. o When it becomes feasible, Phase Two shall be implementation of a full scale system. Program Participants and Administration o Participants in the project may include, but are not limited to, the City, CRA, DDA and the Chamber of Commerce. Funding Sources 4.34 o Funding for operation of limited, special event trolleys shall be by the CRA, and others as appropriate. o Funding sources for a full scale system shall be determined. Program Schedule o Phase One began in FY 1991/1992 o Schedule for Phase 2 to be determined. #3.5: "Business Development Program" Background Increasing economic activity within the Community Redevelopment Area is a major objective of the overall Community Redevelopment Program. Investments by the CRA which result in increased business opportunities have positive impacts on employment, the tax base, and the physical environment, all of which are positive steps toward the elimination of slum and blighted conditions. Many other CRA programs are aimed at increasing economic activity within the CRA district. The purpose of this "Business Development Program" is to provide a means to focus the effort. The primary goal of the program is to facilitate small business development within the Community Redevelopment Area. Types of businesses to be encouraged include artist studios, galleries, craft shops, specialty shops and other unique businesses which add vitality, attract visitors and help Delray to find its nitch in the market. The program will encourage and assist businesses by providing assistance during the crucial first year of operation or expansion. The program will provide additional benefits to the local economy by helping to eliminate some of the vacant commercial space within the area. This not only improves the overall appearance of the area, but also contributes toward the development of a critical mass of activity, whereby individual businesses draw additional customers for each other. program Objectives o Provide economic stimulation to the area o Increase business opportunities o Increase employment opportunities o Decrease unoccupied commercial space within the area o Prevent the spread of slum and blighted conditions Program Descri_otion o Provide business rental subsidies for the first year of multi-year leases. - Although at the discretion of the CRA, generally the rental subsidy shall not be given when total rent, including subsidy exceeds the fair market rent for the area. o Additional items toward which financial support may be given include, but are not limited to, security deposits, last month rental deposit, utility deposits, advertisement, signage, licenses, and legal assistance. o The CRA Board shall maintain policy guidelines regarding types of assistance, funding limits and eligibility requirements. o Although the CRA shall make its decision on a case-by-case basis, generally assistance shall not be given for uses which do not reinforce and further the redevelopment strategy and goals for the geographic sub-area in which they are located or are non-conforming with regards to the City's Land Development Regulations. .~ Provide small business loans at below market interest rates through a community lending program. - This loan fund will be funded through grant monies obtained from Local, County, State and 4.35 .Federal Agencies, PriVate Foundations, Corporations and Individuals ::~i:.:~::i~._': i:i. -..:.. ....

Historic preservation is important both economically and culturally and is an important tool for eliminating slum and blighted conditions. Historic downtowns are generally more successful if their buildings are preserved, rather than demolished. A well preserved historic downtown can be marketed as a unique place for people to work, shop, eat and congregate. This enhances the social and economic vitality of the area and increases the property tax base. Many CRA programs and proje.cts can utilize historic preservation as a redevelopment tool. The CRA, through this "Historic Facade Easement Program", may purchase the facade of a historic structure for a portion of the cost of exterior improvements. Not only does this benefit the property owner by allowing him to initiate the improvements at a fraction of the total cost, it also benefits the public by improving the appearance of the building in particular, the area in general and in preserving a historic structure as a linkage to the past. The building owner is required to designate the building as a historic site with the City of Delray Beach and the CRA retains ownership and architectural control of the historic facade in perpetuity. A recent example of a historic easement that the CRA purchased was the Flamingo Gas Station, located at 301 East Atlantic Avenue. This $25,000 facade easement was one component in the successful renovation and adaptive re-use of the historic structure from a defunct gas station to a restaurant. The owner renovated the facade, made substantial site and interior improvements and added an outdoor dining area. The City's Historic Preservation Board provided an informal approval of the project. 4.36 Proiect Ob!ectives o Provide economic stimulation to the area through renovation o Promote historic preservation o Encourage adaptive re-use of historic buildings o Eliminate blighted exterior facades o Prevent the spread of slum and blighted conditions o Increase employment and business opportunities o Decrease unoccupied or underutilized commercial space within the area o Stabilize and Increase the property tax base Proje;t Description o Provide capital to property owners to renovate historic structures through the purchase of a facade easement. The purchase money would be tied to the renovation of the facade. o A Property Owner utilizing the program would have his building designated a historic site as set forth in the City's Land Development Regulations (Section 4.5.1) o All historic structures within the community redevelopment area could be considered for the program including those historic structures that have been moved from outside the area. o Purchase of historic easements will be considered by the CRA on a case-by-case basis and subject to available funding. o Facade easement purchase money may be used as a matching fund for other grant funding. o The facade easement is superior to any mortgages o The CRA retains architectural control over the facade o The building owner is responsible for maintenance of the facade improvements. Program Participants and Administration o The program will be administered and coordinated by the CRA o Other participants include the City, the Historic Preservation Board and Property Owners Funding Sources o The CRA will provide the funding for the program o Program allocations shall be determined annually during the budget process or at the discretion of the CRA. o Other funding sources include public and private entities which provide grants for historic preservation Program Schedule o The program will be implemented in ~ ~FY 1994!1995 IV. Program of Regulatory Actions The following section describes the changes to existing City regulations that will be required to implement the Community Redevelopment Plan. Unless otherwise described below or on Figure 5, building height, density, setbacks, and site development requirements are intended to remain as they presently exist in the various City zoning districts and future land uses, including "Open Space" are to be consistent with the City's Future Land Use Plan and the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Element policies.

Sources of Redevelopment Funding and Financing The following section provides a general review of potential sources of funding for redevelopment programs, and a description of the funding sources applicable to each of the improvements or projects identified in the plan. In general, a variety of financing options are presently available to the Community Redevelopment Agency and the City of Delray Beach. Among these are the following: A. Tax Increment Revenues Tax increment Revenue is typically the major source of fundin, g for redevelopment projects under the State of F~orida Community Redevelopment Act. This increment, which is determined annually, is equal to 95% of the difference between: the amount of ad valorem taxes levied each year by each applicable taxing authority on taxable real property within the Community Redevelopment Area; and, the amount of ad valorem taxes that would have been produced by the current millage rates prior to establishment of the Redevelopment Trust Fund. Both of these amounts are exclusive of debt service miltage of the taxing authorities. The ability of the Community Redevelopment Agency to utilize this funding method requires two key actions: o The establishment of a redevelopmenf trust fund as required by FS 163,387 as the repository for increment tax funds, and; o The provision, by ordinance of the City, for the funding of the redevelopment trust fund for the duration of the Community Redevelopment Plan. B, Redevelopment Revenue Bonds The provisions of F.S.163.385 allow the City of Delray Beach or Community Redevelopment Agency to issue "Revenue Bonds" to finance redevelopment actions, with the security for such bonds being based on the "anticipated assessed valuation of the completed community redevelopment." In this way, the additional annual taxes generated within the Community Redevelopment Area, the "tax increment", is used to finance the long term bond debt. Prior to the issuance of long term revenue bonds, the City or Community Redevelopment Agency may issue bond anticipation notes to provide up-front funding for redevelopment actions until sufficient tax increment funds are available to amortize a bond issue. C. General Revenue Bonds For the purposes of financing redevelopment actions, The City of Delray may also issue General Obligation Bonds. These bonds are secured by debt service millage on the real property within the City and must receive voter approval. Th~ existing "Decade of Excellence Program", which includes may redevelopment initiatives, is funded, in part, by a 21.5 million dollar 1990 General Obligation Bond. D. Special Assessment Districts The City of Delray Beach could also establish special assessment districts for the purpose of funding various neighborhood improvements within an area or for the construction of a particular project. ~is funding mechanism was utilized in 1994 whereby a Special Assessment Distdct was set up so that :~each of the property owner's in the Banker's Row project could be assessed annually over a 10-year period for their share of the COst in the project. E. Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) Between 1985 and September 30, 1993, the City of Delray Beach received $3,761,000 in CDBG 4.41 grant funds directly from the Federal Government to improve the area designated as the "Community Development Target Area", These CDBG monies are committed to demolition of substandard housing units, housing rehab assistance, and home ownership assistance within the target area which includes much of the Community Redevelopment Area. Over 99% of the total funds expended have been for the benefit of Iow and moderate income residents. Given the City's goal to improve housing opportunities and the existing housing stock for iow and moderate income residents, approximately $1,385,000 or 50% of the CDBG grant funds have been used to rehabilitate 80 owner-occupied housing units within the target area. F, Industrial Revenue Bonds ORB) Industrial revenue bonds may be used to finance industrial, and some commercial projects. The primary emphasis on such projects is the creation of jobs, and as a consequence speculative ventures are not normally financed by this means. Such bonds are typically issued by the County, with repayment pledged against the revenues of the private enterprise being funded. IRB's are tax exempt and consequently are typically 3 percentage points below prevailing interest rates. Such financing has been used effectively in South Florida. G. Land Sales/Leases Acquisition of property, and its preparation for development are powers available to the Community Development Agency under provisions of F.S. 163. The resale or leasing of such land to private developers can provide another source of income within the Community Redevelopment Area. H. Contributions and Grants Voluntary contributions by private companies, foundations and individuals is a potential source of income to the Community Redevelopment Agency. Although such contributions may only account for a small portion of redevelopment costs, they do provide opportunities for community participation with positive promotional benefits. I, Urban Development Action Grants (UDAG) This is one of several grant programs at the Federal level designed to fund private development through leveraged public investment. The Auburn Trace Project in the southwest section of the Community Redevelopment Area was partially funded through this type of grant. Due to cutbacks in Federal funding and the anticipated scale of redevelopment in the City of Delray Beach, this is not considered a strong source of funds at this time. ........ ~, .... Zc, n; I,'~;~.,-~,'~ ~ ...... ', .... J, Safe Neighborhoods Act - Chapter 163.502 FS Neighborhood Improvement Districts created pursuant to the Act may request a planning grant from the state's Safe Neighborhood Trust Fund on a 100% matching basis. The District may also be authorized to levy an ad valorem tax of up to 2 mills annually on real and personal property. K. Direct Borrowing From Commercial Lenders 4.42 The CRA is also authorized to fund redevelopment projects and programs through direct borrowing of funds. Depending on the particular project(s) funding requirements, the CRA may utilize both short and long term borrowing. Although terms and conditions may have a direct bearing on use of a particular commercial lending institution, the CRA will generally attempt to attain the lowest available interest rate. 4.43 VII. Revenue Projections Table 4-2 provides a five-year projection of revenues available for CRA redevelopment programs. The primary funding source for CRA activities is the Redevelopment Trust Fund. This Fund is the depository for all TIF revenues generated within the Community Redevelopment Area. Based on estimates of the current property valuations, and assuming the historic annual increase of 2 percent in these valuations, together with new construction, it is estimated that the total tax increment revenue g~nerated by the redevelopment area will be approximately $ 4.5 million over the next five year period. This estimate is believed to be conservative'since it does not include revenues generated by the redevelopment projects described in this plan. These projects will increase the total tax increment as they are completed and entered on the tax rolls. Since its creation in 1985, the CRA has continued to expand its redevelopment efforts into the surrounding community. Starting with just a few projects, the CRA has increased its activities to include over two dozen projects and programs. It must be noted; however, that this increased commitment is not without costs. Consequently, the CRA's overall program has outgrown the limited funding provided by TIF revenues. To continue its redevelopment effort and provide adequate funding for its various projects and programs, the agency must now turn to long-term borrowing. Since property values will inevitably increase as a result of its activities, this method of financing the CRA redevelopment effort can also be looked upon as an investment in future TIF revenue.

Under the ordinance, the City may not issue development orders for a proposed project if it adds traffic to county or state roadways, within its radius of influence, which causes total traffic to exceed the adopted Levels of Service (LOS). The ordinance does; however, include provisions for "Geographic Areas of Exception (GAE)", which allow the County to set new lower levels of service for roadways which will be impacted by development within the GAE. This means that development within the GAE is then allowed to increase traffic on area roadways beyond previously permitted levels. The City of Delray Beach proposes to establish a Downtown Core GAE in order to foster the continued development and redevelopment of the downtown area. In essence, the revitalization of the downtown is dependant upon the City's ability to attract people to the area; to live, to work and to shop. The establishment of the GAE will further the City's goals by allowing the increases in traffic which will undoubtedly occur as a result. Without the GAE, only minimal development within the downtown would be permitted. Due to its tremendous impact on overall redevelopment efforts, the CRA agreed to fund the preparation of the GAE application as well as application fees. The territory within the GAE includes the CBD zone district, west of the Intracoastal waterway, as well as the Old School Square Historic Ads District, immediately to the west of the CBD. On March 27, 1991, the CRA hosted a workshop at the Old School Square Gym for the purpose of reaching a consensus as to the CBD development scenario to be used in the GAE application. Dudng the course of the day, the group was presented with three development scenarios. The three scenarios, listed in order of increasing overall intensity were referred to as 1) Laissez Faire, 2) Urban Village and 3) Urban Center. Based on a series of presentations, evaluations and discussions, the group arrived at a consensus that the Urban Center Scenado was realistic and generally desirable but should be modified in order to protect the "Village by the Sea" character deemed essential to Delray Beach's preferred identity and quality of life. The final proposed development scenario is a composite entitled "Village Center". Pro}ect Objectives o Increase development potential and ultimately the tax base of the downtown core o Provide the opportunity to attract major development to the downtown which may otherwise not be permitted due to traffic considerations. e · Provide opportunity for economic stimulation and investment in the CBD. o Reestablishment of the downtown as an employment center o Determine the appropriate intensity of the Downtown Core Project Description o Successful completion of the GAE Application in 1991 o Approval of the GAE by the Board of County Commissioners in 1992 with amendments to the County's Comprehensive Plan. o Amendment of the City's Comprehensive Plan to accommodate reduced levels of service on specified roadway links. Proiect Participants and Administration o The project will be jointly administered by the City of Delray Beach and the CRA. o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, Project Consultants, the County Commission, DDA, Reviewing Agencies, and Workshop Participants 1 Funding Sources o The CRA will provide the funding to retain consultants and allocate staff time to prepare the GAE application o The CRA will provide funding for application fees Pro!ect Schedule o Completed in FY 199-1/1992 # 2.8: "Bankers Row Project Implementation" Back¢=round Banker's Row, the 200 block of NE 1st Avenue is a downtown residential block which includes single family, rear guest cottages, and some home-occupation uses. The block is located within the Old School Square Historic Arts District which includes most of the City's oldest homes. Banker's Row includes 16 of these historic (built before 1940) residences. This project was born when, under the auspices of the Historic Preservation Board and the City's Planning Department, application was made to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources for a Preservation Grant. A $24,000 planning grant was awarded by the State with provisions for the City to allocate a matching share toward planning of the project. The Project Plan has three separate but related components. These are: a study and evaluation of the historic significance of the Banker's Row block and an analysis of the architecture of its structures; the preparation of a streetscape design plan, architectural design guidelines, and lot development guidelines; and the creation of a planning program for the private property owners of Bankers Row. The Planning was culminated by the preparation of a document entitled, "BANKERS ROW - A PROGRAM FOR RE-USE & RESTORATION" Following publication of the Plan, the property owners formed a Homeowners' Association and sought funding for the project, including street improvements and a parking lot from the City. The City was unable to fund the project and subsequently the property owners requested the same from the CRA. In 1992, the CRA, City and Homeowners' Association adopted a interlocal Tri-partite Agreement in which the Property Owners would fund $32,500 for the project, payable over 10 years; the City would fund a new water main; and, the CRA would fund the construction of the parking lot and the balance of the street improvements. The CRA completed the Banker's Row parking lot in March, 1993 and the design for the street improvements was completed in October. It is anticipated that the remaining improvements will be completed in FY 1993/1994. The Property Owners will pay 25% of the cost of the roadway improvements, up to a maximum of $32,500 through a property assessment district. Project Objectives o Preserve the historic structures. o Revive the historic character of Banker's Row. o Improve and enhance economic conditions through some appropriate conversions of individual properties to home occupations or nonresidential use. o Spin-off private redevelopment on adjacent blocks Project Description o The City shall initiate the appropriate amendments to its Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations in order to accommodate the Program. 2 o Formation of a Banker's Row Neighborhood Association by the Residents o Creation of a property assessment district by the City to collect moneys from the property owners to reimburse the CRA o Project includes Streetscape and Parking Lot improvements including acquisition of parking lot site. o Individual property improvements will be made in accordance with Master Development Plan, at the discretion and timing of the property owners; however, the improvements are required at the time of changing from a single family or home occupation use to any other category of-use. Project Participants and Administration o The City of Delray is responsible for overall implementation of the Program. o The CRA shall, through an agreement wfth the properly owners, take the lead and contribute funds toward implementation of the streetscape/parking lot improvements in accordance with the Master Plan. o In addition to paying a portion of the streetscape costs, including engineering, the property owners shall be responsible for improvement of their individual properties. o The Historic Preservation Board shall review improvements or modifications which affect the exterior of any structures. Funding Sources o The CRA shall provide the funds for parking lot property acquisition and improvement costs o The CRA shall provide a portion of the funds for implementation of the streetscape improvements o The property owners, through a property assessment district, shall provide the remaining portion of the streetscape improvement and engineering costs. o The property owners shall be solely responsible for any improvements made to their individual properties. o Property owners may also qualify for participation in the CRA's Subsidized Loan Program, Business Development Program or Historic Facade Easement Program. o The City of Delray Beach will provide funding for the design/construction of water supply lines Project Schedule o Parking lot site was acquired in FY 1991/1992 o Construction of parking lot in 1993 (Complete March 1993) o Formation of Property Owners Special Assessment District in 1993 o Construction plans for street Improvements were completed in 1993 o Completion of streetscape improvements in 1994. # 2.10: "Municipal Tennis Center Rehabilitation" Background The CRA prepared a study in mid 1992 to determine the feasibility of rehabilitating the existing Center with possible inclusion of a stadium court to host the Virginia Slims Tennis Tournament. As a part of the Study, the CRA also held a 1-day Workshop to build a consensus within the community on if and how the tennis center property should be redeveloped. This workshop was a great success with over 60 people attending. The consensus of the group was that the Tennis Center be retained at its present location and be rehabilitated and expanded to include a stadium court and other facilities. The results of CRA's study and workshop were presented to the City Commission and the City made the decision to rehabilitate the Center. Recognizing that this project clearly achieves several major CRA goals including the elimination of blighted conditions, and the creation of significant spin-off economic benefits in the CRA area, the City requested that the CRA participate in the project's capital funding. The 3 CRA obliged with a $481,000 commitment which may be paid over a 15-year period. In 1992, the City commenced construction of the first phase of the Tennis Center including the 3,000 seat stadium court. The upgraded Center includes adjacent residential property to the west and the old fire station # 1 site. This increased land area gives the property a corner location on N.W. 1st Avenue and West Atlantic, and provided the necessary space to add a new proshop, additional courts and the stadium court. Additionally, the new design greatly improves the overall visual appearance of the center with better linkages to Atlantic Avenue and increased landscaping. In March of 1993, the Virginia Slims of Florida held their national women's tournament. With over 80,000 people attending the event over the two-week period of the tournament, this event set a record in women's tennis. Project Obiectives o Upgrade of the existing Municipal Tennis Center o Add the necessary facilities to host the Virginia Slims Tennis Tournament and other events o Provide a positive influence on West Atlantic Avenue redevelopment Project Description o The project elements includes facilities design, acquisition of additional property as needed and construction of the project project Participants and Administration o The project is the responsibility of the City of Delray Beach o Other participants may include, but are not limited to, the CRA, Design Professionals and Construction Contractors Funding Sources o The City shall have primary responsibility for funding the improvements. o The CRA will provide $481,000 of the capital funding for construction of the project either as a lump sum payment or a yearly contribution toward the project's debt service Pro_iect Schedule Phase 1 construction, including the pro-shop, stadium court and the majority of the tennis courts was completed in March 1993. o Phase 2 construction, which included 4 additional courts and landscape improvements at the intersection of N.W. 1st Avenue and Atlantic Avenue was completed in FY 1993/1994. # 2.12: "Old School Square Cultural Center" Background Beginning in late 1985, a group of concerned citizens established a task force to save the old schools, which the Palm Beach County School Board had planned to abandon. The 4 acre site of the Delray Beach Elementary School, containing two school buildings, a 350 seat auditorium and a gymnasium seemed to have potential, not only as an important historic preservation project, but also as an arts center benefitting Delray Beach and the surrounding communities. The Historical Society established a committee to establish the possibility of restoring all or a portion of the school complex and to locate a historical museum within the school. 4 The committee, now Old School Square, Inc. reported its findings to the City Commission in 1987 and recommended the restoration of the facility and development of an art and cultural center. A professional feasibility study was prepared and determined the project to be feasible. Hence, engineering surveys of the existing buildings and building plans were prepared and the restoration project began in 1988. .- The on-going restoration and development of the 6.6 million dollar center has become-a source of pride to Delray Beach residents. Serving as the centerpiece of the Atlantic Avenue Business Corridor from Interstate 95 to A-1-.A, the center which opened in 1990, now includes a museum, gift shop, community meeting room and a visual arts center/gallery. In order to complete the first phase of the 1926 building, which fronts on Swinton Avenue, Old School Square requested a $435,000 loan from the City in 1992 to supplement a donation by a foundation. The City agreed with the understanding that the CRA would guarantee the loan. In addition to this loan guarantee, the CRA also agreed to make the debt service payments if requested by Old School Square. In the fall of 1992, the first phase of renovations were completed on the 1926 building, which now hosts theater productions, concerts, ballets and classes. The loggia and bandstand of Oid School Square, the last phase of the project, is planned for' outdoor exhibits, concerts, festivals, large parties, and "Sunday in the Park" type entertainment for the enjoyment of the entire community. Project Objectives o Establish a strong cultural identity in Delray Beach o Promote Arts and cultural activities as a means to foster increased economic development within the city center o Provide a cornerstone for the revitalization and redevelopment of the Atlantic Avenue Business corridor and the Pineapple Grove Neighborhood. o Create an attraction for both touFist and residents to the area. proiect Description o Restoration of 1913 school building as museum and visual arts center o Restoration of 1926 school building as a performing arts center and theater o Restoration of the gymnasium as a meeting hall o Addition of a loggia for outdoor exhibits, concerts, etc. Project Participants and Administration o Administration and coordination of the project is by Old School Square, Inc. o Other participants in the project include, but are not limited to, the State of Florida, the City of Delray Beach, the CRA, Delray Beach Historical Society, Private Citizens and Foundations. Funding Sources o The City of Delray Beach has contributed the bulk of the money toward this projects with over 4 million dollars invested. o The State of Florida, Division of Cultural Affairs has contributed funds toward the project. o Private donations have also been an important source of funding o The CRA will provide funding sources through loan guarantees, loans or grants for restoration of the 1926 building as an important component of the center. 5 Proiect Schedul. The Museum Building restoration was completed in 1990 The Gymnasium building restoration was completed in 1991, Restoration of 1926 building was completed in 1993. The schedule for the remaining components of the center are to be determined. 6 APPENDIX F DOWNTOWN DELRAY BEACH JOINT VENTURE 6.6 DOHNTOWNDELRAY BEACH ~OZNTV~NTURE THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 13th day of January, 1993, by and between the COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENTAGENC¥ OF THE CITY OF DELRAH BEACH, hereinafter referred to as the "CRA,' the DELRAH BEACH DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, hereinafter referred to as the 'DDA," ~nd the GREATER DELRAH BEACH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, hereinafter referred to as "CHAMBER.# W I T N E S S E T.H= , WHEREAS, the CRA is a Community Redevelopment Agency created pursuant to Florida Statute Chapter 163 and has as its purpose the redevelopment of portions of the City of Delray Beach located within its geographically designated redevelopment area; and WHEREAS, the DDA is a special taxing district created by special act of the Legislature of the State of Florida and the DDA is responsible for the economic development of the geographic area defined pursuant to its Charter; and WHEREAS, the CHAMBER has as one of its primary missions the providing of support to the economic community within Delray Beach; and WHEREAS, the area within CBD Zoning District, OSSHAD Zoning District and the General Commercial Zoning District and Community Facility Zoning District running from 1-95 to NW and SW First Avenues lie within the geographic areas which the parties hereto conduct their respective activity within; and WHEREAS, the parties hereto are desirous of joining forces to develop and administer as a joint venture a Program for downtown Delray.

INTRODUCTION The Community Redevelopment Agency of Delray Beach, Florida was created in 1985 by the City of Delray Beach. Its first operating year commenced in 1986. The Agency is a dependent taxing district, and its principal source of revenue is from contributions made by thc City of Dclray Beach and Palm Beach County to thc CRA trust fund. The contributions are derived fi.om real estate taxes collected by the City and County. The CRA's portion is the incremental difference (increase) between the 1985 base year assessed value of the district and the current year's. In 1987 the Agency collected $105,000 in revenue compared to 1995 of $712,000. The district's boundaries generally run fi.om the Atlantic Ocean to Interstate 95, from SW 10th Street to the northern boundary of Dekay Beach. The residential areas east of the Intracoastal are excluded as well as the northern neighborhoods of Lake Ida and others. The district contains 1,915 acres and is approximately 55% residential, 39% commercial, and 6% industrial and public lands. The population of the district estimated in 1990 by the U.S. Census amounted to 13,902 residents of which 66% are Afirican-American and Caribbean-American, 31% white, and 2% Hispanic-American and native American. The programs of the Agency include housing, economic development, and redevelopment. The Agency serves as the lead agency for downtown parking and for preparing redevelopment plans for commercial districts. The life span of the Agency is for 30 years or until the slum and blight is eliminated and the redevelopment catalyst is no longer required. WORK PROGRAM 1996 I. PROJECTS A. Old School Square. The CRA has funded approximately three and °ne-half years of the debt service for the Old School Square loan from the City for the Crest Theatre. The annual amount has been $43,743, and the total amount expended through FY 1995 has been $149,836. However, the CRA, commencing in FY 1996, will not continue funding. B. Municipal Tennis Center. The CRA signed an interlocal agreement with the City for the payment of $481,000, amortized over a 15-year period, for the Municipal Tennis Center.
