Meeting Called to Order ● The meeting was called to order at 5:31 pm, and the recording was initiated. 2. Citizen Comments ● None 3. Consent Agenda ● A motion was made by Board Member Sharon Rawls and seconded by Board Member Stephen Thompson to approve the minutes from the previous meeting. ● The motion passed unanimously. 4. Other Discussion/New Business 8th Street On-Street Parking ● The City awarded the Central CRA a grant totaling $120,555.30 for the conceptual design of parking and streetscaping on 8th Street. ● The project area covers 8th Street between 11th Avenue and 13th Avenue. ● Funding for this design phase is being provided through CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funds rather than directly from Central CRA funds. ● The grant has been signed by the Mayor, and design work by Applied Sciences will begin shortly. ● Future construction costs may be funded through proceeds from property sales. Community Land Trust (CLT) and Housing Development ● RFP Selection: Following an RFP process and evaluation committee review, the CRA selected Bright Community Trust to enter contract negotiations for operating a land trust. ● Bright Community Trust was chosen over Florida Housing Inc. due to their extensive experience operating as a CLT since 2008. 3

● Prototype Homes: Plans for prototype homes on 8th Street are expected to have engineering completed this month, followed by the permitting phase. ● Zoning Overlay: The CRA is working with ZNS to develop a "pattern book" or zoning overlay. This initiative aims to bypass the difficulties of the current form- based code, which often requires multiple variances for residential projects, thereby speeding up the home-building process. Minnie Rogers Site Update ● Closing: The CRA has officially closed on the property, and it is now in the hands of the developer. ● Financial Details: The purchase price was approximately $637,500. Additionally, the developer reimbursed the CRA $300,000 for a water line. ● Development Restrictions: The contract includes restrictive language which prohibits specific uses such as arcades and dispensaries. ● Future Use: While the developer is exploring the potential for a hotel, they remain bound by a developer agreement and the Site Improvement Plan (SIP). ● Follow-up: Staff will provide the committee with the full restrictive code and project timeline for review at the next meeting. Retroactive Incentive Discussion ● Retroactive Incentives: The committee discussed a request from Mr. Keenan Wooten regarding retroactive incentives for a completed project. ● Incentive Structure: Staff presented a cost-benefit analysis based on a base property value, with reimbursements typically set at a 50-50 split between the developer and the CRA. ● Committee Consensus: Members expressed concern that granting retroactive incentives would "open the floodgates" and contradicts the purpose of an incentive, which is intended to influence future development. ● Formal Motion: A motion was made by Board Member Stephen Thompson and seconded by Board Member Sharon Rawls to recommend that the CRA Board deny all requests for retroactive incentives or grants. ● Vote: The motion passed unanimously. 5. Adjourn ● The March meeting is currently scheduled as a virtual placeholder and may be canceled if no time-sensitive issues arise. ● Regular in-person meetings are scheduled for May, August, and November. ● The meeting was adjourned at 5:57 pm. 4
