NON- PUBLIC CODE: G TYPE: CONSENT HEARING: NO SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution Amending the Policy for the Urban Village Storefront/Farade Improvement Program by Changing the Eligible Project Boundary to Include Projects Located Along Commercial Corridors Within One Half Mile of the Designated Urban Villages and in a Community Development Block Grant Eligible Area (COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 5, 8 and 9) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution amending the policy for the Urban Village Storefront/Fagade Improvement Program to change the eligible project boundary to include projects located along commercial corridors within one half mile of the designated Urban Villages under the Program and in a Community Development Block Grant Eligible Area. DISCUSSION: On February 12, 2013, the City Council approved Resolution No. 4181-02-2013 approving the creation of an Urban Village Storefront/Fagade Improvement Program (Program) and adopting a policy for the Program by Mayor and Council Communication (M&C G-17804). On May 14, 2013, the City Council approved Resolution 4204-05-2013 changing the appellate body from the Urban Design Commission to the Community Development Council (M&C G-17892). Staff has had inquiries into the Program from citizens with property outside the current eligible project boundary. The Program is funded with Urban Development Action Grant(UDAG)funds, which must be spent in a similar manner as Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds and in CDBG eligible areas. At the June 6, 2017 Housing and Neighborhood Services Committee (HNSC) meeting, the committee expressed interest in amending the eligible project boundary to allow applications to be located along commercial corridors within one half mile of the designated Urban Villages in the Program and in a CDBG eligible area. This policy amendment will allow for the expansion of the Program while maintaining the guidelines on expending UDAG funds. Based on approval of the HNSC, Staff is recommending adoption of the resolution amending the Program. This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that this action will have no material effect on City Funds.

DISCUSSION: On February 12, 2013,the City Council approved Resolution No. 4181-02-2013 approving the creation of an Urban Village Storefront/Fagade Improvement Program (Program) and adopting a policy for the Program (M&C G-17804). The policy provides that appeals of denials of funding under the Program be heard by the Urban Design Commission. However, Staff has been advised that the Urban Design Commission should not serve as the appellate body for the Program because it is already part of the design approval process and hearing appeals would conflict with its role under the Zoning Ordinance. Since the Program is funded with Urban Development Action Grant funds, which must be spent in a similar manner as Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)funds in CDBG- eligible areas, Staff proposed that the Community Development Council (CDC)hear appeals under the Program. Staffs proposal was based upon the CDC's familiarity with CDBG and other federal requirements. Staff made a presentation about the Program and its appeals process to the CDC at its April 10, 2013 meeting and the CDC agreed to hear appeals of denials of funding under the Program. Since the CDC has agreed to serve as the appellate body for the Program, Staff recommends amending the policy. This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 5, 8 and 9.

Authorize the expenditure in the amount of$300,000.00 of Urban Development Action Grant program income for the Urban Village Storefront/Fagade Improvement Program; 2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations of the Grants Fund in the amount of$300,000.00 from available funds; and 3. Adopt the attached Resolution approving the creation of the Urban Village Storefront/Fagade Improvement Program and adopting the attached Policy. DISCUSSION: On December 4,2012, Staff made a presentation to the Housing and Economic Development Committee regarding a proposed Urban Village Storefront/Fagade Improvement Program (Fagade Improvement Program). The City does not have a program to assist with the improvement of storefronts or facades in targeted areas. This type of incentive program has been recommended by consultants involved in the development of the Commercial Corridor and Urban Village plans. However, funding has not been available. Staff has identified the amount of$300,000.00 of Urban Development Action Grant(UDAG) program income to use for this program. The UDAG program income funds are rental revenues received from the lease for the City-owned parking garage under General Worth Square(City Secretary Contract No. 11085 as amended and assigned). The construction of the parking garage, originally known as the Radisson Parking Garage project,was funded with UDAG funds and rental revenues from the lease are deemed"Grant Revenues" under the UDAG Grant Agreement(City Secretary Contract No. 10610). The Grant Revenues from what is now known as the Hilton Parking Garage project must be used for projects that meet the requirements of the Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) program and include private investment. Annual revenue from the parking garage is approximately $100,000.00 and the project has a remaining balance of approximately$580,000.00. The Fagade Improvement Program meets the UDAG economic development project eligibility requirements. Staff recommends that City Council approve the creation of the Fagade Improvement Program and approve the expenditure of UDAG funds for the program under the following guidelines: Program Guidelines: • Project must be within an Urban Village and in a CDBG-eligible census block group (West 7th, Berry-University and Magnolia Urban Villages are not eligible). • Participation by the City shall be capped in the amount of$30,000.00 per building and the private http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/me—review.asp?ID=l 7867&councildate=2/12/2013 05/19/2015 �f&C Review Page 2 of 2 investment must be at least one-third the City investment($3 private for every$1 public). • Eligible expenditures are only for store front or fagade improvements that will improve the aesthetics of the building. • City funding will ba on a reimbursement basis once the project is completed. • Staff will administratively approve applications for proposed improvements. • Appeals of Staff's denial of applications will be to the Urban Design Commission. This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 5, 8 and 9. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
