Attachment A: Scope of Work and Schedule of Deliverables
Urban Infill and Redevelopment Assistance Grant Program
BACKGROUND
To reduce urban sprawl and to keep core urban areas fiscally strong, the Florida Legislature created the
Urban Infill and Redevelopment Assistance Grant Program. The program provides for planning and
implementation grants to local governments to redevelop and revitalize distressed urban areas. Funds
are to be used to develop collaborative and holistic urban infill and redevelopment plans and to
implement projects located within designated urban infill and redevelopment areas, pursuant to ss.
163.2511 - 163.2526, Fla. Stat. The goal of the Recipient's planning process is to effect change in the
the Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area over time, based on a comprehensive analysis of the factors
underlying the need or desire for change, as well as the means by which such change can be
implemented.
DESCRIPTION OF PLANNING PROCESS
In its application, the Recipient proposed and documented an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area
(UIRA) that meets the statutory requirements for the purposes of this grant program. Further, through a
competitive selection process, the Recipient's application for an Urban Infill and Redevelopment
planning grant was recommended for funding. With the funds in this Agreement, the Recipient agrees to
undertake a collaborative and holistic planning process for its UIRA. The planning process will include
the following elements:
1. A description of a holistic and collaborative community participation planning process which
allows for community input, including visioning, before redevelopment occurs. The collaborative process
should result in a plan that contains goals, objectives, projects and activities that address solutions to
neighborhood problems and offer opportunities to improve the quality of life in the designated area. The
process should create both short-term and long-term goals and objectives so that residents can see
some successes in the short term while continuing to pursue and achieve long-term goals.
2. Identification of activities and programs to accomplish locally identified goals such as code
enforcement; improved educational opportunities; reduction in crime; neighborhood revitalization and
preservation; provision of infrastructure needs, including mass transit and multi-modal linkages; and
mixed-use planning to promote multi-functional redevelopment to improve both residential and
commercial quality of life.
15
3. Demonstration of local government and community commitment to comprehensively address
the urban problems within the Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.
4. Identification of ways or incentives to keep residents actively involved in the implementation
of projects after developing the plan.
5. A map depicting the geographic area or areas to be included in the designation.
6. Confirmation that the infill and redevelopment area is within an area designated for urban
uses in the local government comprehensive plan.
7. A map of any existing enterprise zones, community redevelopment areas, community
development corporations, brownfields, downtown redevelopment districts, safe neighborhood
improvement districts, historic preservation districts, empowerment zones, or enterprise communities
located within the area proposed for designation as an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area. There
must also be a framework for coordinating urban infill and redevelopment programs within the urban
core.
8. A memorandum of understanding between the district school board and the local government
regarding public school facilities located within the Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area, to identify how
the school board will provide priority to enhancing public school facilities and programs in the designated
area, including the reuse of existing buildings for schools within the area.
9. Narrative that identifies each neighborhood within the proposed area, community
preservation and revitalization goals, projects identified through a collaborative and holistic community
participation process, and how projects will be implemented.
10. Narrative that identifies how the local government and community-based organizations
intend to implement affordable housing programs in the Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area, including,
but not limited to, economic and community development programs administered by state and federal
agencies.
11. Narrative identifying strategies for reducing crime.
16
12. If applicable, guidelines for adoption of land development regulations specific to the Urban
Infill and Redevelopment Area which includes, for example, setbacks, parking requirements, design
codes, streetscapes, sidewalks, and building facades.
13. A map and identification of existing transportation concurrency exception areas, and any
relevant public transportation corridors designated by a metropolitan planning organization in its long-
range transportation plans or by the local government in its comprehensive plan for which the local
government seeks designation as a transportation concurrency exception area. For those areas,
describe how public transportation, pedestrian walkways, and bikeways will be implemented as an
alternative to increased automobile usage.
14. Identification and adoption of financial and local government incentives which the local
government will offer for new development, expansion of existing development, and redevelopment
within the designated area. Examples of incentives include: waiver of license and permit fees; waiver of
local option sales taxes; expedited permitting; waiver of delinquent taxes or fees to promote the return of
property to productive use; lower transportation impact fees for development which encourages higher
use of public transit, pedestrian, and bicycle
modes of transportation; prioritization of infrastructure spending in the urban infill and redevelopment
• area; and local government absorption of a developer's concurrency costs.
15. Identification of how activities and incentives in the area will be coordinated and what
