ENECU 77 VESIJAIAL4 R Y
The City of Cape Canaveral, located in Brevard County in the heart of the Florida's Space Coast, has
completed the Statutory Requirements and adopted the Finding of Necessity necessary to establish a
Community Redevelopment Agency. The City is taking the steps to develop a Community
Redevelopment Plan (CRP) including projections for tax increment revenues and the Program and Project
Budget for the five- and ten- year periods. The Finding of Necessity and the CRP review originated out
of community wide efforts in 2009, 2010, and subsequently 2012 to identify local economic development
strategies; and culminated in the recommendation to focus on redevelopment and community
improvements in targeted areas of the City.
In 2009, the residents of Cape Canaveral engaged in "Envision Cape Canaveral" a community-based,
citizen -driven process to create a vision for the City's future. One of the primary objectives of this
endeavor was to develop a vision and implementing strategies for future redevelopment of underutilized
areas in the City. The Envision Cape Canaveral process produced the Cape Canaveral Vision Statement
which envisions a vibrant community that meets the economic, recreational, social, and retail needs of its
citizens. A Visioning Report was also prepared which included a list of recommendations for
implementation of the Vision.
In 2010, the recommendations were established as formal City policy with adoption of the Evaluation and
Appraisal Report (EAR) based amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. The amendments outlined
objectives and policies to guide the City in its redevelopment efforts and included designation of a
Community Redevelopment Area and establishment of a Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA).
The City hosted a series of public workshops
including an Economic Development Open
House on February 21, 2012, and a subsequent
workshop on September 18, 2012, as a means to
further the Community's Vision. City Council
and staff requested analysis as part of a Finding
of Necessity which serves as a basis for
designating a Community Redevelopment Area
within the City in accordance with Chapter 163,
Part 111, Florida Statutes (F.S.). The designation
of a Community Redevelopment Area is
governed by this Chapter and the areas reflected
within the proposed CRA Boundary Map for the
City have been confirmed as qualifying for
designation through the independent analyses performed in this report.
Several steps are required to create a CRA. The following steps have been completed:
06/19/12 - Cape Canaveral prepared a Finding of Necessity (FON) which demonstrated the
proposed redevelopment area met statutory requirements for a CRA.

* 08/21/12 - Adoption of Resolution 2012-16 created Cape Canaveral CRA and declared the
Council to be CRA Board.
Remaining steps:
10/3/12 - Review of Community Redevelopment Plan by the Local Planning Agency to
determine consistency with Comprehensive Plan and recommendation to the CRA Board.
CRA Board approval and subsequent review by Brevard County and other taxing authorities.

Council adopts Redevelopment Plan.
Trust Fund created by Ordinance.
Formal designation as a Community Redevelopment Area, creation of a Community Redevelopment
Agency, and the drafting of a CRP will allow the City to develop specific strategies, programs, and
improvements to encourage private investment and redevelopment efforts.
When combined with certain public sector improvements, private investment can support the
community's desired quality of life. Public sector improvements relating to infrastructure, as well as
grants and matching funds can assist the private sector to expand, relocate and improve property thereby
contributing to increases in property Values. With the downturn oil' the economy and restructuring of the
space industry, the City aspires to be proactive and assist property owners along the business corridors
which are part of the City's image and economic base. By focusing the opportunities for economic
redevelopment within the identified areas, the City can provide a plan for incentives and programs to help
drive recovery of these areas.
The Community Redevelopment Act, Chapter 163 Part 111, F.S. was created as a tool to assist in
remedying areas to improve the general public welfare, local tax base, and for redevelopment of specific
geographic areas. The Act declares that, "the rehabilitation, conservation, or redevelopment of
deteriorated and distressed areas are necessary in the interest of public health, safety, morals, and
welfare.'* The first step includes preparation of a technical analysis of the existing conditions within the
proposed redevelopment area that may hinder or Support the quality of Ill -e and services needed for a
sustainable community. Furthermore, the Act provides for coastal resort and tourist areas "which are
deteriorating and economically distressed due to building density patterns, inadequate transportation and
parking facilities, faulty lot layout, or inadequate street layout, could, through the means provided in this
part, be revitalized and redeveloped in a manner that will improve the economic and social conditions of
the community."
Property valuation data was collected from the Brevard County Property Appraiser's Office and
analyzed. The comparative data reflects an average decline in property values within the City of 41% in
commercial and industrial areas from 2007 to 2011. During this same period, residential data reflects all
average decline within the proposed economic development area of 47%. As reflected in this CRP and
the previous Finding of Necessity report, as economic activity declines, more property vacancies tend to
occur and this in turn may lead to a decline in property value. To compound the decline in value,
maintenance budgets may be the first to be cut, leading to a decline in appearance.

Review of existing community redevelopment areas within Brevard County confirms the relative strength
and success in deterring economic decline within those areas. The areas that have received in-depth
economic and physical community redevelopment planning aimed at enhancing the quality of life and
business opportunities have experienced property value changes that are relatively better than conditions
within the community as a whole.

The first permanent settlement in present day Brevard County was established near Cape Canaveral in
1848. The City of Cape Canaveral was incorporated in 1963 and has a current population of 9,936 (April
1, 2011, U.S. Census). Consisting of approximately 1.9 square miles along the barrier island of Florida's
central east coast, this beachside residential community is bordered on the north by Port Canaveral, on the
east by the Atlantic Ocean, on the south by Cocoa Beach, and on the west by the Banana River. Cape
Canaveral's location makes it an integral part of the tourism, aerospace., maritime and military industries
in Brevard County and the region. Approximately 50 miles east of Orlando, the proximity to Port
Canaveral, one of busiest cruise ports in the country, Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral Air Force
Station, Patrick Air Force Base, and the beaches make it an ideal place for visitors and residents as well as
business and industry. The City provides municipal services that include sanitaiy sewer treatment, reuse
water, storinwater, and recreation facilities.
The economic fortunes of Cape Canaveral have mirrored that of the Space Program. As the space
program grew in the 60s and 70s so did the growth and development of the City. After a lull in the late
70s the Shuttle program boosted the economy and carried it for the next 30 years. In the last decade the
economy began to diversify with the growth of hotel and hospitality related uses and as many retirees
made Cape Canaveral home. Cape Canaveral has evolved from a sleepy fishing village to a weekend
beachfront retreat to a provider of housing and office support for the Space Program to a home for retirees
and a hub of hospitality related uses such as hotels, resorts, a convention center, and soon a Brewery. In
2012, a 288 -bed assisted living facility was approved for construction.
While Cape Canaveral will continue to look for economic opportunities related to the Space Program, the
hospitality and health services industries have recently provided the greatest opportunity for job creation
and economic growth. The cruise ship industry has in part been responsible for the construction of the
Residence 11111, Country hin and Suites, Ron Jon's Cape Caribe Resort and expansions to the Radisson
Resort at the Port.
The economic artery of Cape Canaveral is SR Al A and the commercial activity along this corridor. Most
of the commercial buildings along A] A were constructed during the 60s and 70s and are showing their
age. These buildings are characterized by outdated design and construction methodology, thereby
limiting their reuse potential. In addition, small lot size and configuration make redevelopment to current
standards for parking, landscaping, setbacks, and stormwater challenging.
As the corridor aged, the City began to see increasing signs of deterioration and lack of investment. The
restructuring of the space industry, national economic downturn, and overall aging of the corridor have
further exacerbated these conditions. In addition, very little retail growth has taken place within the City
resulting in an outflow of dollars and lack of services desired by residents.

refocus on the vision statement in order clarify the
intent of the planning activities and to focus
efforts on smart, achievable, and incremental
goals to deliver results. The city-wide imperative
given in the Vision Statement calls for new
development that can instill civic pride through
creating a sense of place, implementing
environmentally sensitive design, and respecting
the context of the neighborhoods and downtown
area.
This Community Redevelopment Plan (CRP) is
part of the next steps in creating a CRA and will
serve as an important tool to assist the City and its

Even before the current economic recession, community leadership recognized the need for a focused
redevelopment effort and as such in 2007, the Business and Cultural Development Board commissioned
an update of the 1999 Redevelopment Plan. The 2007 Plan had two overriding goals: economic
development and improvement of quality of life. 01?jective 5 of the Plan addressed both of the goals by
calling for the establishment of a Community Redevelopment Agency.
In 2009, the elected leaders called upon the residents to participate in the creation of a Vision for the
City's future and a plan for implementing the Vision. Over 200 citizens participated in "Envision Cape
Canaveral" a community based, citizen driven process that resulted in a Vision Statement (see Vision
Statement page 17 below) that describes the type of City desired by citizens and a Visioning Report that
listed recommendations to achieve the Vision. Strategies to achieve the goals and objectives of the
Vision include:

Since the 2009 Community Visioning, the primary goal of the City has been to implement the objectives
of the Vision Statement and the recommendations of the Visioning Report. As of June 2011, the City has
completed or is in the process of implementing the following initiatives:
• Created an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Incentive
• Prepared a Five Year Capital Improvements Plan
• Completed Ridgewood Avenue roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian improvements
• Increased Code Enforcement Activities
• Increased Business Assistance Efforts
• Established a Community Redevelopment Agency
• Created an A I A Economic Opportunity Overlay District
• Pursuing Community Development Block Grants
• Establishing a Brownfields Redevelopment Program
• Pursuing Complete Street projects and funding
Plan (1,'D -11P)
The Economic Development Action Plan (EDAP) was LDAP Action it
completed in February of 2010 with the primary goal to
"improve the livability and economic vitality of Cape #6: Establish a Commimity Redevelopment
Canaveral through smart development, to enhance the Agency
attractiveness of the community lor residents, businesses and
visitors, while preserving its unique, natural coastal setting." #9: Lstablish Bro;siifield Area.
A number of action items were developed as part of this Plan
including to further support and encourage economic development efforts within the City including the
establishment of a Community Redevelopment Agency and the establishment of a Brownfield Area That
plan served as an economic development tool for the entire City, but many of the action items serve a dual
role for the CRA and for redevelopment. The creation of the CRA will also further the implementation
goals outlined in the EDAP.
Evaltialion and Appraisal Rel)ort (E,4 R)
In 2010, the City adopted its Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) based amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan that further supported the community's desire for redevelopment. The EAR based
amendments outlined objectives ectives and policies to guide the City in its redevelopment efforts including the
designation of a Community Redevelopment Area and the establishment of a Community Redevelopment

The economic artery of Cape Canaveral is SR Al A with the primary commercial activity occurring along
this corridor. SR A I A is an important community resource both in terms of the roadway's mobility and
its function as the main economic lifeline of Brevard County's coastal communities and Port Canaveral.
SR AIA connects and provides access to the County's important economic and employment centers
including: Cape Canaveral Afl- Force Station, Kennedy Space Center, Port Canaveral, Patrick Air Force
Base, and numerous beach communities. SR AIA is also a designated national scenic byway and
provides access to one of the region's environmental treasures, the Indian River Lagoon.
Complete Streets focuses on transforming the street into a corridor that accommodates all users by
increasing safety for pedestrian and bicycle travel, transit accommodations, and beautification. The SR
Al A Multimodal Corridor Planning and Engineering Analysis project was initiated based on activities of
the AIA Action Team with support from the Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization (TPO).
Cape Canaveral is a founding and active member of the Al A Action Team, which consists of a group of
organizations, businesses, and residents engaged in improving the look and function of the AIA corridor
from the Port to Patrick Air Force Base.
"The vision for the AJA Multimodal Planning and Engineering Analysis is to have a corridor that
functions as a safe and efficient multimodal corridor that connects and supports the economic viabilitj7
of several communities. The corridor should be aesthetically pleasing while providing a sense of
community through innovation, design and connectivity.
Through funding provided by the Florida Department of Transportation, a study was commissioned to
provide a **Complete Streets" plan for approximately 14 miles of the SR AIA corridor through, and
including, Cape Canaveral. The Complete Streets plan is currently in the early stages. The Action Plan

The North Atlantic Avenue Streetscape ProJect was initiated in 2012 as a "complete streets" project for a
major north -south corridor through the City, within the designated CRA boundary. This project extends
from SR A I A to Port Canaveral and will connect with other "complete streets" projects including the
West Central Boulevard Streetscape Project — Phase 11 and East Central Boulevard Streetscape Project —
Phase 111.
Complete Streets is compatible with the elements of a successful CRP and consistent with the City's
Vision Statement: "We envision .... as a "complete street" with a native -landscaped and tree -lined median
with traffic calming elements and dark -sky street lighting. "Complete street"' amenities include bicycle
facilities, covered transit stops, and safe pedestrian crossings that invite pedestrians and bicyclists to

will allow us to travel calmly to intimate waterfront destinations and a walk -able downtown core."
Brovwifield Area Designation
One of the most significant achievements with regard to promoting redevelopment within the City and
CRA is the designation of a Brownfield Area. A Brownfield Area is defined as a contiguous area of one
or more brownfield sites, some of which may not be contaminated, and which has been designated by a
local government by resolution. Such areas may include all or portions of community redevelopment
areas, enterprise zones, empowerment zones, other such designated economically deprived communities
and areas, and Environmental Protection Agency -designated Brownfield pilot projects. 376.79(4) F.A.C.
Designating a Brownfield Area is a redevelopment tool that can assist in economic development,
community development, as well as residential and open -space/ green -space projects. It also achieves the
public goals of:
1. Reduction of public health and environmental hazards,
2. Removal of stigma, and
3. Promoting effective use of community resources.
With a Brownfield designation in place, new development and redevelopment projects within the CRA
will have the opportunity to participate in the State program; a program that. can provide significant
resources through economic incentives and loan guarantees. The City is anticipated to complete the
creation of a Brownfield designation in 2012. A generalized map illustrating the proposed Brownfield
boundary is included in the List of Maps - Figure 4. Note: the final boundary configuration is currently
tinder review the City Council and, subject to approval, the map will be revised to reflect the final
boundary configuration.

The City of Cape Canaveral's Community Redevelopment Area depicted in Figure I —CRA Boundary
Map identifies the area qualifying for designation as a CRA. The area is generally the corridor along SR
AIA, from Port Canaveral in the north, to the southern City Limit including properties along North
Atlantic Avenue and the "Presidential Streets" residential area. This area is based on discussions with
City staff and an independent assessment performed in
accordance with the application of the planning process
and community development practices found in Chapter
163, Part 111, F.S. This area includes a mixture of both
non-residential and residential uses as well as vacant and
underdeveloped properties. The City's Future Land Use
Map and Zoning Map, included as Figures 2 and 3,
respectively, were reviewed as pail of the Finding of
Necessity and for the CRP for consistency in their
application, non -conforming land uses and general
support for redevelopment efforts,
The Community Redevelopment Area within the City is approximately 766 acres or 56 percent of the
land area within the City, as further described in Table 1. This percentage is less than the maximum
percentage permitted by Statute.
Table I provides a breakdown oi'the acreage and number of parcels within the CRA. The City of Cape
Canaveral is comprised of approximately 1,374 acres which includes right-ol-ways, easements, and other
areas within the boundaries. Approximately 2,370 parcels are contained within the City, and of those,
approximately 1,234 are located within the Community Redevelopment Area.

The Community Redevelopment Agency is responsible for developing and implementing the Community
Redevelopment Plan that addresses the area's unique needs. The Plan includes overall goals for
redevelopment in the area, as well as identifying the types of projects planned for the area within a long-
term Program and Projects Budget Plan.
Projects may include a variety of elements or programs
intended to spur private investment. Streetscapes and
roadway improvements, building renovations, new
building construction, flood control initiatives, water and
sewer improvements, parking lots and garages,
neighborhood parks, sidewalks, street lighting and street
tree plantings are typical of projects runded by community
redevelopment agencies. The Plan can also include
redevelopment incentives such as grants and loans to
private owners and businesses within the community
redevelopment area for such things as facade
improvements, sprinkler system upgrades, signs, and structural improvements. The Redevelopment Plan
is a living document that can be updated to meet the changing needs within the Community
Redevelopment Area; however, the boundaries of the area cannot be changed without undertaking a
formal finding of necessity analysis.
The Envision Cape Canaveral process, the Finding of Necessity and the community workshops served to
clarify specific goals and opportunities for the City to consider in the process of redevelopment. This CRP
will serve to further clarify those goals into specific action items and projects. This plan will identity
future programs and activities that can be funded and managed by the CRA to actively support local
businesses and promote redevelopment. This document is intended to be a living document.
The process of redevelopment is an ongoing iterative activity that can take decades to achieve. It is the
City's intent to regularly revisit this document perhaps as part of the CRA's annual reporting process in
order to celebrate the City's achievements and refocus priorities for the coming years. The City already
has examples from the Envision Cape Canaveral document of what long term redevelopment could look
like. This initial CRP is focused on the short term in order to prioritize activities and to guide the soon -to -
be -formed CRA in its initial actions. The Plan and recommendations contained within take two forms.
Some of the plan deals with specific physical improvements and how the CRA can help Support those
improvements and equally as important are recommended programs and tools designed to support
businesses within the CRA. The CRA does not does not contain proposed impacts upon the residents of
the redevelopment area and therefore, does not provide provisions for relocation of persons displaced
from housing facilities within the CRA.

The State of Florida requires that certain elements or "provisions" be included within a Community
Redevelopment Plan (CRP). As defined by the Florida Statutes, a Community Redevelopment Plan
means a plan, as it exists from time to time, for a community redevelopment area. Furthermore, Chapter
163.360 Florida Statutes requires:
(1) Community redevelopment in a eorrznzuuity redevelopment area shall not tae planned or initiated
unless the governing body has, 1e1, resolution, determined such area to he ashon area, a blighted area, or
an area in which there is a shortage of housing affordable to residents of low or moderate income,
including the elderly, or a combination thereof and designated such area, as appropriate for community
redevelopment.
(2) The community i-e(levelopniciilplan shall
(a) Conform to the comprehensive plan for the county or municipality asprepared h�y the local
planning agency under the Connnuniy Planning Act.
(h) Be si(fficient4y complete to indicate such land acquisition, demolition and removal of

The activities and programs offered within a Community Redevelopment Area through the CRP are
administered by the Community Redevelopment Agency. A five- to seven -member CRA Board created
by the local government directs the Agency. The CRA Board can be comprised of local government
officials and/or other individuals appointed by the city. Although CRAB are not overseen by the State,
they are considered dependent special districts and have certain annual reporting requirements.
City of Cape Canaveral Resolution 2012-16 declared the City Council serve as the CRA Board. Since the
City Council will serve as the CRA Board, specific policies and procedures will need to be developed to
ensure that CRA Board functions are appropriately and independently undertaken from the customary
City Council responsibilities. Examples include special meeting notices, separate minutes of the CRA
Board, and separate tracking of CRA expenditures and activities. Existing city staff may be assigned
responsibilities to coordinate CRA activities as the program develops.
The CRA has certain powers that the city or County may not have, such as establishment of tax increment
financing and leveraging local public funds with private dollars to facilitate redevelopment. The CRA
term is limited to 30 years, 40 years if extended. After that time, all revenues are retained by each taxing
entity that contributed to the CRA Trust Fund.
In addition, 163.358 Florida Statutes limits certain powers and provisions of the Community
Redevelopment Agency including:
(1) The power to determine an area to be asluni or blighted area, or combination
thereof,* to designate such area cis appropriate for community redevelolmient; and to hold
anY public hearings required with respect thereto.

CRA Funds can be used to assist existing and new businesses as well as provide for infrastructure
improvements. A variety of direct and indirect incentives can be made available to eligible property
owners, developers, and business operators in community redevelopment areas. Direct incentives include
reimbursement of fees, waivers of site requirements, grants for or property improvements, and tax rebates to
reduce project costs. Indirect incentives include public improvements that improve marketability and
reduce development costs, such as offsite parking, central storm water retention, and improved road
access and capacity. Financial support for these incentives may come from several sources, including the
local government general fund, local tax increment trust fund, and state and Federal grants (e.g., CDBG).
Tax Increment Funds and grants are the most common revenue sources for these incentives. Most
communities provide one or more types of redevelopment incentives depending on available financial
resources. Incentive programs and actions recommended in this section can be implemented in the Cape
Canaveral CRA depending on available financial resources, particularly as the tax increment trust fund
grows. Until such time as the revenue base expands, the City should use its limited resources judiciously
on a case-by-case basis.

Grants can be made available to eligible property owners, developers, and businesses to assist in
improving properties. These incentives may include one-time matching grants for improvements to
building facades, landscaping enhancements, and replacement of nonconforming signs. These Programs
are effective in other communities in spurring economic development by providing a catalyst to private
properties to improve their property, thereby making them more attractive for tenants and/or business
opportunities. At the appropriate time, the City should allocate part of its annual tax increment revenues
for a matching property improvement grant program to fund se-,7ei-al applications per year.

The CRA can establish a Developer Incentive Fund
Pool that allows assistance above and beyond the
above fa4ade grants and other assistance programs.
Applicants can make application for monies for
specific items which are reviewed by the CRA
Board on a case-by-case basis. In addition, the
CRA should investigate establishing a loan pool or
assistance program with the local banks to provide
low-interest loans for projects qualifying for CRA
programs, but may not be covered due to limitations
in the program (i.e., maximum funding cap) or a
lack of available grant funds.

Up -front cost burdens for new developments can be eased by the City waiving or relaxing certain site
requirements and development standards and through reimbursement of various expenses involved in
permitting. These incentives include but are not
limited to the following:
• Waiver of requirements for onsite parking
in excess of the number of spaces that can
be accommodated on site.
• Development and implementation of a
central stortriwater management plan for
the CRA and waiver of onsite stormwater
retention requirements, where possible.
• Waiver of concurrency limitations that
may exist because of over -capacity streets
in the CRA. If applicable, the City should
seek to establish a transportation
concurrency exception area for the CRA.
0 Waiver or reimbursement for City permit fees, impact fees or fair share costs, utility connection
fees, and others, if any. The City should also work with Brevard County to determine and
establish those circumstances where County impact fees and/or fair share costs can be reduced to
encourage redevelopment and infill in the CRA.
The financial impact of these waivers and reimbursements on the City are minimal, in that they involve
little if any financial outlays for individual projects. However, there will be some initial costs to the City
in planning and implementing central storm water management and traffic concurrency management
plans.
Nem c Business Rent Assislance
This type of program assists fledgling businesses get started, with the CRA committing to a pre-
detennined level of rent assistance. This type of program relies on regular monitoring and compliance
review along with a detailed understanding and commitment to the business plan and revenue projections.
The CRA can set specific employee requirements, lease requirements, and financial projection outlooks.
Joh Ce eolion Bollus 1"rogrMT1
Programs like these are popular at any level of government and the CRA can also add to the mix by
creating specific incentives to create attractive opportunities for businesses that decide to set up shop
within the CRA. You can use this type of program to attract higher paying jobs to the CRA as well as
using larger incentives to steer businesses to the area. There are various methods for implementation that
the CRA must consider including the amount of new jobs to qualify, the percent and term of wages
covered, the types of businesses covered (i. e. does retail qualify?) and the qualifying wage.

Listed above are only two of the myriad of business support programs the CRA may consider. In general
when the CRA begins considering various opportunities it is important to design programs that fit a real
community need. The programs should have minimum requirements; each case should be evaluated on its
own merits. And finally, the programs need to be regularly revisited and the guidelines revised according
to new or changing economic conditions.
Additional strategies that can be considered by the CRA to support business retention and growth include:

The CRA should consider the vision for the AIA Corridor and address its land use code accordingly.
Similar to the recent adoption of the AIA Economic Opportunity Overlay District, allowing for more
mixed use as opposed to a strict adherence to a commercial or residential designation for the traditional
type of development could encourage more creative proposals and add a variety of new housing types
along the corridor, including live work opportunities, Alternative residential development would be a
benefit for the long term revitalization of the area. Density bonuses are also a way to encourage more
creative development plans that address typical inadequate development parcels that dont meet the
business needs of a development plan. Parking standards also need to be reviewed in two ways. First, new
parking location requirements could encourage more parking to the sides and rear of future developments.
This style of parking on site supports a prominent urban, pedestrian friendly streetscape like that
identified in the Vision Plan. Secondly, the quantity of parking should be reviewed. There are
opportunities to develop public parking facilities within the CRA.
Given the typical parcel size constraint, frequently the amount of parking required for typical uses may
not be able to be accommodated. Relaxed quantities or accounting for off-street parking, shared parking
facilities, or other parking strategies using combined public and private resources should be considered
when reviewing development plans and perhaps should be codified differently within the CRA. There is
also an opportunity to create a Parking Credit Program or some type of Parking Mitigation Program
where the CRA could assist businesses meet their parking requirements in creative ways other than
developing actual parking spaces.

The benefits from infrastructure improvements on economic development can be increased when the
focus is on existing asset enhancement. This should be the charge for the CRA when reviewing potential
projects. There are a few key infrastructure assets within the CRA that would benefit from focused
investment including SR AIA, N. Atlantic Boulevard, various stormwater system -wide improvements
and additional sidewalk/pedestrian connectivity. Infrastructure improvements can be costly depending on
the size and scope of the project and may require coordination among numerous stakeholders and
property owners. The short term focus for the CRA should be on facilitating efforts that are already
underway, finding small efforts that can have a visible and/or significant public impact, and planning for
the long term investments needed for large-scale projects.
Tr(Iffic Ch-c"Wation
In general, each road improvement effort undertaken within the CRA should be viewed in light of
connectivity and access management. Each Project should enhance connectivity and provide ample access
to and between developments. Connectivity is about more than cars; more important for long term
vitality of the CRA area and its redevelopment opportunities is the connectivity and comfort for
pedestrians and bicyclists. It is the role of the CRA to be an advocate for implementation of projects
identified in the SR AIA Multimodal Corridor Planning and Engineering Analysis, to be completed in the
Spring of 2013.
Another element of community connectivity that needs to be considered is enhancing the transit stops in
coordination with SCAT. The CRA could look into developing a plan for the transit stops that not only
enhance the rider's experience, but could also help with beautification of the corridor. Some CRA's have
used this type of activity in coordination with their branding activities or as a part of a public art program.
As the SR AIA corridor transitions, continued coordination between the City and MOT will need to
continue in order to ensure business issues are
addressed and enhancement opportunities are not lost.
Space Coast Area Transit will also play a crucial role
for the future of transit and transit access and stops
within the corridor.

prior to the City's and State's Current design standards, some developed properties lack adequate
stormwater management facilities and are nonconforming to local and state regulatory requirements.
Pending changes to statewide stormwater management regulations may create additional impediments to
redevelopment. Often these constraints can serve to delay or prevent financially feasible redevelopment of
existing properties.

In particular, physical conditions were noted where
existing stormwater management facilities are not
under proper maintenance and exhibit conditions
that may contribute to on -street and adjoining
property ponding or flooding, together with adverse
discharge impacts to the surface ace water system.
Examples include standing water, damaged inlet
structures, clogged piping and inappropriate use of
facilities (parking, storage, etc.). Evaluation of an
area -wide, comprehensive stormwater management
strategy is appropriate in support of economic
revitalization.
CRA — Connnunity Redevelopment Plan
The ongoing evaluation and maintenance of the
stormwater management system serving the City of Cape Canaveral and the CRA along with the long
term planning for stormwater improvement projects should be a priority within the CRA for encouraging
and supporting private reinvestment along SR AIA, the North Atlantic corridor and throughout the CRA.
Businesses and property owners rely on the Stonnwater Management System to provide needed flood
protection for their property. The Community relies on the Storrnwater Management System for handling
standing water during and following a storm event so they can continue with their normal activities
(shopping, dining, recreation and other activities) regardless of the weather conditions. The effective
management of Storinwater withir) Cape Canaveral and the CRA is a priority for a sustainable and vibrant
economy. Strategies for improving storinwater conveyance, treatment and discharge include development
of a Master Storrnwater Management Plan that can provide for shared use of infrastructure and future
maintenance costs. Seeking shared funding from the St. Johns River Water Management District, State
and County can support redevelopment and economic revitalization within the corridor. Incorporation of
the following elements into the CRA's approach to improving

that may increase the effectiveness of the overall
System.
Gutter Capacity — A significant amount of runoff
within the City and the CRA boundary travels via street and gutter flow. It is important to
maintain the condition and capacity of the curbs and gutters (especially those that direct flow to
inlets).

• Channel Capacity — Most of the storinwater runoff within the City and the CRA eventually flow
through a channel at some point prior to discharging into the Banana River. It is important to
maintain the capacity of these channels through maintenance of vegetation and removal of
sedimentation.
o Evaluation of exfiltration, infiltration or other low impact development standards and approaches
to stormwater management and site design.
Ul,dil,y Relocation and
The relocation of existing utility poles and service within the area could be an integral pail of
improvements that facilitate redevelopment and beautification. While there are areas with electric lines
and utility poles which could be relocated underground, the cost of relocation may be prohibitive in the
short term. Strategic long term plans should be developed for achieving the ultimate goal of removing
power lines and similar infrastructure from the corridor. As individual redevelopment projects come on
line, each project should be reviewed for the potential of relocating the utility lines to the rear of the
property(s).

PublicIPI-Nagle Parinerships
A public/private venture is defined as a collaborative, partnership, or alliance to facilitate community and
economic development activity. A public/private partnership (PPP) describes a government service or
private business venture which is funded and operated through a partnership of government and one or
more private sector companies. Risk and reward are shared in a joint contract for services or development.
There are many types of potential projects encompassed by the term PPP, but essentially employing a
PPP is all about promoting economic development. Just the creation of this CRA is in fact one form of a
public/private partnership. While there is a broad range of PPP types, the most likely scenario for the City
would be a partnership to promote redevelopment with a private entity to prepare a site for a new
development.
It is important to note that a broad range of risk exists for the government entity and any partnership
needs thorough research and structuring before entering into an agreement and diligent monitoring as the
project progresses. The CRA should also make sure that policies are in place that support the use of its
resources and assures compliance. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends
using the following list as a guide for examining issues that must be addressed before, during and after the
project is determined to be viable.
Examples of future PPP programs include; land assembly programs, note and bond financing programs
for land assembly, site preparation, public facilities or supporting public improvements and infrastructure,
and loans or grants to developers. Some examples of possible PPP projects to consider are: Development
projects involving commercial land, waterfront development, housing projects, and neighborhood
development projects.

have a number of positive impacts:
• Increase exposure for existing businesses and be a recruitment tool in building a snore
complementary business mix.
• Boost retail traffic and attract residents to the downtown area.
• Aid CRA and community actions by increasing both volunteerism and giving, by lending
credibility to redevelopment and revitalization efforts.
Spe(,'.4al Ei,ents
The CRA can fund or assist with funding community events and festivals which are important to the
image and vitality of the Community. Funds can be assigned subject to annual review of the Program for
effectiveness. The CRA may also want to include certain, conditions of approval, time frames and/or
other elements to ensure compliance/consistency with the intent of the grant prograrn.
Code Enforcement can be used as tool along with other techniques to assist in redevelopment of targeted
areas. These include development of strategies to rehabilitate targeted areas through increased code
enforcement activities, removal of dilapidated Structures and coordination of infrastructure improvements
with rehabilitation activities. The City and CRA should review opportunities to link actions of Code
Enforcement with eligible CRA grants and programs (upon adoption and funding).

FUNDING OPPORTUNHIES
TaxIncrement Fincincit�g
..— .............. . ......
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a funding too] available within CRAs. This funding tool provides that a
portion of the increases in ad valorem revenues generated within the Community Redevelopment Area are
deposited into a redevelopment trust fund. The year the Community Redevelopment Agency is
established is the "base year". Taxing authorities continue to collect taxes based on the base year values
while any revenues raised on increases in real property value are collected for the trust fund. As the
taxable property values increase due to redevelopment projects, the redevelopment fund also increases.
Tax increment financing is not an additional tax on properties but is a redistribution of funds to the CRA.
TIF revenues must be used within the CRA and are held in a Redevelopment Trust Fund for activities that
contribute to the improvement of the CRA. Eligible funding activities include property acquisition, public
improvements including parking facilities and streetscapes,
financial incentives to developers and businesses, and the
financing of capital improvement bonds.
It is important to note that property tax revenue collected by the
School Board and any special district, such as for libraries, are
not affected under the tax increment financing process. Funds
are deposited to a trust fund by the taxing entities (city and
county), after monies are received from the tax collector. The
tax increment revenues can be used immediately as they are
received to undertake planning studies or capital projects or
other programs that serve the community redevelopment area. In
addition, these funds can be saved for a particular project or can be bonded to maximize the funds
available. All funds received from a tax increment financing area must be used for specific
redevelopment purposes consistent with an adopted Plan and not for general government purposes.
Section 163.387(l), Florida Statutes provides the following guidance for determining the TIF:
The annual funding of the redevelopment trust fund shall be in an amount not less than that
increment in the income, proceeds, revenues, and funds of each taxing authority derived from or
held in connection with the undertaking and carrying out of community redevelopment under this
part. Such increment shall be determined annually and shall be that amount equal to 95 percent of
the difference between:
(a) The amount of ad valorem taxes levied each year by each taxing authority,
exclusive of any amount from any debt service millage, on taxable real
property contained within the geographic boundaries of a community
redevelopment area; and
(b) The amount of ad valorem taxes which would have been produced by the
rate upon which the tax is levied each year by or for each taxing authority,
CMMFJ Kimley4iorn 29
M and Associates, Inc.
CRA — ConinumilY RedeveloInnent Plan
exclusive of any debt service millage, upon the total of the assessed value of
the taxable real property in the community redevelopment area as shown
upon the most recent assessment roll used in connection with the taxation of
such property by each taxing authority prior to the effective date of the
ordinance providing for the funding of the trust fund.
Funds deposited in the redevelopment trust fined may be expended only within the boundary of the
redevelopment area and as described in the approved redevelopment plan. These requirements are
articulated in Section 163.387(6), F.S., as follows:
(a) Administrative and overhead expenses necessary or incidental to the implementation of a
community redevelopment plan adopted by the agency.
(b) Expenses of redevelopment planning, surveys, and financial analysis, including the
reimbursement of the governing body or the community redevelopment agency for such
expenses incurred before the redevelopment plan was approved and adopted.
(c) The acquisition of real property in the redevelopment area.
(d) The clearance and preparation of any redevelopment area for redevelopment and
relocation of site occupants as provided in s. 163.370.
(e) The repayment of principal and interest or any redemption premium for loans, advances,
bonds, bond anticipation notes, and any other form of indebtedness.
(1) All expenses incidental to or connected with the issuance-, sale, redemption, retirement, or
purchase of agency bonds, bond anticipation notes, or other form of indebtedness,
including funding of -any reserve, redemption, or other fund or account provided for in the
ordinance or resolution authorizing such bonds, notes, or other form of indebtedness.
(g) The development of affordable housing within the area.
(h) The development of community policing innovations.
Note, the City of Cape Canaveral Community Redevelopment Agency has not identified a need and does
not anticipate funding at this time for projects identified in subsection (g) and (h) above.
Property valuation data from the Brevard County Property Appraiser's Office was collected and
analyzed. Certified Property Values for the City as compared to the Community Redevelopment Area are
provided for years 2011 and 2012 and is reflected in Table 2. Over a five year period, 2007 to 2012, the
average percentage change of the selected properties analyzed as part of the adopted Finding of Necessity
was a decline of approximately 41 % within the commercial and industrial areas of the City; residential
areas averaged a decline of approximately 471/0 in property values. As reflected in this report, as
economic activity declines, more property vacancies tend to occur and this in turn may lead to a decline in
property values. To compound the decline in value, maintenance budgets may be the first to be reduced
or eliminated, leading to further decline in the property, specifically in appearance.

Ten-year pro . Jections of taxable values to FY21-22 in the CRA are shown below. These projections are
based on the following conservative assumptions:
I A modest 0.5 percent annual increase in taxable values for the next fiscal year (FY12-13),
as property values continue to stagnate and with an expectation for some new
construction activity to Occur as result of interest in the CRA.
2. A 1.0 percent annual increase in taxable values for FYI 3-14 and FY 14-15, reflecting a
slight increase in property values and a stabilization of' local and regional economic
conditions.
3. A 1,5 percent annual increase in taxable values beginning in FY15-16 and continuing
through FY16-17, because of available vacant land in the CRA and representing a
gradual increase in property valuations.
4. A 2.0 percent annual increase in FYI 7-18 through FY 2020-2 1, reflecting the beginnings
of the next economic upturn associated with continued growth and the desirability of the
region, coupled with the maturing of the CRA and its programs.
5. An annual increase of 2.5 percent is projected in FY21-22, as a return to more sustainable
annual growth rates arrives and private reinvestment continues to be supported within the
CRA.
Based on these assumptions, taxable real property values in the CRA are projected to take several years to
grow to levels that will produce revenue streams needed to fund major capital projects. From a base year
valuation of $242 million, the CRA is projected to increase to approximately $284 million by FY21-22,
representing an increase of approximately $41 million.

Ten-year projections of tax increment revenues for the proposed CRA are shown and illustrated in the
graphic image below, Table 3 and Table 4. These projections reflect 95 percent of annual tax increment
values and current (FY 11-12) City of Cape Canaveral and Brevard County government millage rates. On
this basis, tax increment revenues (combined City and County contributions) in the CRA are projected to
increase from an estimated $10,354 in the initial year (FY12-13) to approximately $343,933 in F"Y21-22.
As CRA programs, funds and matching grants are re -invested consistent with the CRA plan, annual
revenues can be expected to be much greater in the following decade.

CRA — Connnttnity Redevelopment Plan
External Grants and Additional ........ ..
There are a variety of grant and funding opportunities available to leverage the tax increment funding
received by the Cape Canaveral Community Redevelopment Agency. Having a Community
Redevelopment Plan with identified capital improvement projects and program enhancements in place
will increase the likelihood of receiving additional funding for specific projects by providing an overall
vision, community support, and technical implementation criteria that will help implement the overall
goals of the community. The following is a summary of available grant and funding opportunities. 'Phis
listing is not intended to be exhaustive; there may be additional funding opportunities that can further aid
design/development assistance for the identified redevelopment program. It is recommended during the
annual review process that further review and update of available and applicable funding opportunities be
explored to deten-nine applicability for specific project(s), as well as revisions to application procedures,
guidelines and dollar amounts, (See Appendix)
Historically, Cape Canaveral has utilized a 4'1)ay-as-you-go" approach to Funding improvements. This
approach reflects a conservative financial perspective that has the advantage of avoiding long term, costs
of financing, but also has a drawback by extending the time frames required to make needed and desired
improvements within the Community Redevelopment Area. An alternative approach is to consider
financing and the issuance of bonds by the CRA based upon projected receipts from the tax increment
revenues. Given the authorized time for the Cape Canaveral Community Redevelopment Area by statute,
consideration of the bonding of the tax increment financing approach is recommended as a means of
expediting some of the project and program elements identified in this CRP. At such future time, the City
should seek the advice and services of a municipal bond counsel or underwriter experienced with tax
increment bonds to determine the potential size of a bond issue and underwriting requirements. Incentives
and actions recommended ultimately for the Cape Canaveral CRA include waivers of certain costly site
requirements, waiver or reimbursement of certain up front project costs, grants for certain types of
property improvements, grants in the form of annual property tax rebates to help support operating
income for and participation in projects as an equity partner or lender.
CMFI Kimley-Horn 34
M and Amiates, Inc.
CRA — Community Redevelopment Plan
RE'C0A1,fA1E'NDA TIONS
It is understood the recommendations of the Community Redevelopment Plan are based on current
information and recommendations received during the CRP review process. The CRA will implement the
Plan, Programs, and Projects as funding can be obtained and/or as funds (revenues) allow. The listing of
recommendations and projects are not intended to be static but to be dynamic based on available funding
including opportunities for state and federal assistance grants, availability of necessary infrastructure to
support the recommendation, updated public comment and need(s), and periodic revision to priorities
based on the regulatory environment. The Plan identifies how TIF projections and economic development
strategies may be combined with development and redevelopment programs to promote the key values
and vision of the CRA. This CRP identifies and describes the required components based on applicable
state statutes.
While the City has a number of large vacant tracts of land, there are a considerable number of smaller
vacant lots capable of supporting development and redevelopment efforts. The larger tracts lend
themselves to more mixed use; the majority of the vacant properties are located within the commercial
areas of the City and could support additional, smaller non-residential opportunities.
The success of any specific project is dependent on the identified steps for implementation, coordination
of efforts and available resources. Some projects may require the dedicated efforts of both the CRA and
City to better leverage available resources/funds as well as the potential for additional investment in the
project either through dedicated funds, in-kind services (i.e., land dedications and/or acquisitions) or
public-private partnerships.
Successful implementation of the CRP and the various projects will depend on the continued efforts of
the CRA, City of Cape Canaveral and property owners/ residents working together towards a common
goal. As noted in the Executive Summary, the success of the Plan depends on the continued advocacy and
support by the City, County and CRA leadership. As such, the City/CRA staff should provide regular
updates to the City, County, Business and Economic Development Board or similar, as well as
information included on the City's website to inform the Community on the status of the CRP, upcoming
events relative to the Plan and encourage continued involvement with its application. Implementation will
require continued strong leadership with a vision to see projects through to completion and opportunities
for partnerships. While some projects identified may not be directly (completely) Linder the review and
guidance of the CRA, it is imperative the CRA and its staff are fully integrated into these projects.
One of the challenges of this or any CRP is to identify goals, objectives and policies for the
redevelopment of aging commercial and residential areas. Neighborhood preservation is a successful way
for a community to maintain older housing stock while at the same time allowing for the infill
development of vacant properties. There are significant benefits, both tangible and intangible, that can
result from neighborhood preservation and the redevelopment of aging commercial structures. Tangible
benefits include an increase in occupancy rates, increased ad valorem taxes and sales tax revenues,
decreases in crime rates, preservation of historically significant cultural assets; intangible benefits include
an overall visual appearance of a vibrant, successful community, increased interactions among residents
and property owners and a positive attitude about the community increasing the overall quality of life.
CNEY1 Kimley-Hom 35

CRA — Community Redevelopment Plan
The CRA and the City should continue to take a proactive approach to redeveloping blighted areas and
aging parts of the community; however, they cannot do this alone. Successful implementation will require
an active role and participation by private residents and property owners. The CRA staff will continue to
be responsible for implementation of the Plan and its programs; however, effective communication and
assistance from the City is critical to the Plan's success. Elements of the CRP include components that are
directly responsible by the City (i.e., code enforcement, regulatory codes, plan reviews). In addition,
certain ffinding options can only be provided by the City and will need to be reviewed at least on an
annual basis as part of the review and adoption of the City's Capital Improvements Plan.

Goal
The City of Cape Canaveral, through cooperation with area wide transportation
agencies, shall continue to develop and coordinate a comprehensive transportation
system that: serves the needs of all segments of its population; is in support of the Land
Use and other elements of the Comprehensive Plan; provides adequate and safe access
to adjacent land uses; promotes sound development policies; is an efficient and effective
use of public resources; and promotes the efficient utilization of energy resources.
Objective T-1
In conjunction with area wide agencies, Brevard County and the State of Florida, the
City of Cape Canaveral shall provide for a safe, convenient and efficient motorized and
non -motorized transportation system. The measurement of this Objective is the safety,
convenience and efficiency of the City's transportation network and the degree to which
the following Policies are implemented.
Policy T-1.1
The City shall continue with development of a program to provide for the regular
maintenance and improvement of local streets so as to maximize safe travel for vehicles
and pedestrians and reduce loss of life and property by reducing accidents.
Policy T-1.2
The City shall work with the �:c.:e (.`Oast Plarming
Organization and the Florida Department of Transportation in developing and utilizing
level -of -service standards at peak hour on all roadways within the City's jurisdiction.
The City hereby adopts level -of -service standard "E" for all roadways in the
municipality as the minimum acceptable operating level -of -service (with a desirable
level -of -service "C"). As-ef Aq,�Fi' 174-944' f4)r. at
L1wC,"41_Y
The City commits to
maintain that existini?; level -of -service standard and to not permit any further significant
degradation of that condition: (the cut-off point for indicating significant degradation
will be a volume to capacity ratio (V/C ratio) --to be interpreted as a maximum
acceptable volume ratio (MAV ratio) --of 1.10: at the point that the City determines that
the V/C ratio (MAV ratio) exceeds 1.10, it will trigger a procedure in accordance with
the City's concurrency management system to defer, modify or deny development
orders or permits which impact the roadway segment in question. In addition, once a
substandard roadway is improved to a level -of -service "E" or better, the newly achieved
level -of -service will become the new "maintain -and -not -further -degrade', standard.

GOAL
TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT OFFERS A HIGH QUALITY
EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT, PROVIDES ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL OF ITS
STUDENTS, AND ENSURES ADEQUATE SCHOOL CAPACITY TO ACCOMMODATE
ENROLLMENT DEMAND WITHIN A FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE SCHOOL
DISTRICT'S FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL FACILITIES WORK PROGRAM.
Objective I
Maintain adequate school facilities in Brevard County Schools by adopting a concurrency
management system to address the need for correction of school facility deficiencies through
a tiered level of service for the short and long term planning periods.
Policy 1.1
To ensure that the capacity of all schools is sufficient to support student growth at the
adopted LOS for the five-year planning period and trough the long term planning period for
each CSA, the Parties hereby establish a Tiered LOS to achieve the adopted LOS. Upon
achieving the LOS standard of 100% of permanent FISH capacity, by school year 2011-
2012, the Tiered LOS will be terminated.

Policy 1.2
Cape Canaveral hereby adopts the School Board's current public school attendance
boundaries, as the Concurrency Service Areas (CSA).
Policy 1.3
Concurrency shall be measured and applied using a geographic area known as a
Concurrency Service Area (CSA) which shall coincide with the school attendance
boundaries, as adopted by the School District. Either Cape Canaveral or the School District
may propose a change to the CSA boundaries. The following procedures shall be used for
modifying a CSA map:
2
A. The School District will transmit a proposed CSA map modification with
data and analysis to support the change to the Cities, the County, and the
Capital Outlay Committee (COC). Any proposed change to a CSA shall
require a demonstration by the School District that the change complies with
the public school LOS standard and that utilization of school capacity is
maximized to the greatest extent possible.
B. Cape Canaveral and the COC will review the proposed modification of the
CSA and send their comments to the School District within 45 days of
receipt of the proposed change.
C. State transportation costs, court approved desegregation plan, and other
relevant factors must be considered when ensuring the maximum utilization
of school capacity when considering a change to a concurrency service area.
D. The modification of a CSA shall be effective upon adoption by the School
Board.
Policy 1.4
The Parties shall observe the following process for changes in the use of schools:
1. At such time as the School District determines that a school change is
appropriate considering the appropriate use of the school and utilization
requirements, the School District shall transmit the proposed school change in
use and data and analysis to support the changes to the Capital Outlay
Committee and the Staff Working Group.
2. The Capital Outlay Committee and the Staff Working Group shall review the
proposed changes to the school use and send their comments to the School
District within forty five (45) days of receipt.
3. The change in school use shall become effective upon final approval by the
School Board.
Objective 2

the requirements of school concurrency:
Criteria:
A. Single family lots of record, existing at the time the school concurrency
implementing ordinance becomes effective.
B. Any new residential development that has a preliminary plat or site plan
approval or the functional equivalent for a site specific development order
prior to the commencement date of the School Concurrency Program.
C. Any amendment to any previously approved residential development that
does not increase the number of dwelling units or change the type of
dwelling units (single-family to multi -family, etc.).

(SIA) is submitted to the city for review.
B. Cape Canaveral determines that the application is complete for processing
and transmits the SIA to the School District for review.
C. The School District reviews the application for available capacity and
issues a School Capacity Availability Determination Letter (SCADL) to
the city:
1. If capacity is available within the affected CSA, the School
District shall issue a SCADL verifying available capacity.
2. If capacity is not available within the affected CSA, contiguous
CSAs are reviewed for available capacity.
3. If capacity is available in the contiguous CSAs, the School
District shall issue a SCADL verifying available capacity in the
adjacent CSAs.
4
4. If capacity is not available in the contiguous CSAs, the School
District shall issue a SCADL indicating the development is not
in compliance with the adopted LOS and offers the developer a
90 -day negotiation period for mitigation.
Policy 2.4
Cape Canaveral in conjunction with the School District shall review developer
proposed applications for proportionate share mitigation projects to add the school capacity
necessary to satisfy the impacts of a proposed residential development. Mitigation options
may include, but are not limited to:

with the provision of additional school capacity; or
B. Mitigation banking based on the construction of a public school
facility in exchange for the right to sell capacity credits; or
C. Donation of buildings for use as a primary or alternative learning
facility; or
D. Renovation of existing buildings for use as learning facilities; or
E. Construction or expansion of permanent student stations or core
capacity; or
F. Construction of a public school facility in advance of the time set
forth in the School District's Five -Year Capital Facilities Work
Program.
Policy 2.5
For mitigation measures in Policy 2.4 (A) thru (F) above, the estimated cost to
construct the mitigating improvement will reflect the estimated future construction costs at
the time of the anticipated construction.
A. Improvements contributed by the developer shall receive school
impact fee credit.
B. The cost difference between the developer's mitigation costs and the
impact fee credit, if greater, shall be the responsibility of the
