Mayport Village CRA 101
Finding of Necessity (Sec. 163.355, F.S.)
• Public role in creating a redevelopment area focuses on:o Removing slum & blight conditions
o Fostering opportunities for future job creation & commercial development
o Generating positive impacts on existing businesses & surrounding residential areas
• Data and analysis are key to documenting “blighted conditions”
• Authorizes creation of a Community Redevelopment Agency, Plans and “Related Activities”:o General neighborhood redevelopment plan or community-wide plan
o Acquisition & disposal of real property
o Development of affordable housing
o Creation of innovative community policing
Mayport VillageCRA 101
Two or more of these conditions must be documented:
Defective or inadequate street layout, parking facilities, roadways, bridges, etc.
Assessed values fail to appreciate over 5 years
Faulty lot layout (size, adequacy, accessibility, usefulness)
Government-owned property with adverse environmental conditions
Deterioration of site/area High density of population compared to surrounding areas/municipality
Falling commercial lease rates
Tax delinquency
Unsanitary or unsafe conditions Fire & emergency medical service calls
Building Code violations Unusual title conditions
High commercial & residential vacancy rates
Incidence of crime higher than municipality

CRA 101
Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
• The difference between the base year (2015) and future assessed value
• The increment may be used to fund capital improvements and programs within the CRA boundary area
CRA 101
Community Redevelopment Plan (Sec 163.362, F.S.)• Identifies projects and programs to be funded by tax increment financing
• Projected costs of redevelopment and public projects
• Schedule of capital projects financed by increment revenues
• Neighborhood impact statement
• Housing policies
Why weren’t the previous plans implemented?
The proposed boundary from the 2014 Finding of Necessity did not include sufficient
area to generate appreciable tax increment financing potential
2011 Plan
• Community Advisory Committee (CAC) & Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
• Stakeholder Interviews
• Three Public Workshops
• Social Media Campaign
Community Outreach & Stakeholder Involvement
• Identified initial new expanded CRA boundary for further evaluation and vetting by the public
• Provide input and refine redevelopment issues and opportunities
• Will recommend the final draft plan to the Community Redevelopment Agency

• The Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) is the area below the elevation of the Category 1 storm surge line as established by the Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) computerized storm surge model as established by the most current Northeast Florida Hurricane Evacuation study.
• Objective 7.4.2 All land development applications within the CHHA shall be reviewed by the Planning and Development Department, Emergency Preparedness Division and Public Works Department for verification of consistency with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

NEFRPC Projected Sea Level Rise
• There is not a direct comparison to Storm Surge Zones and Sea Level Rise, however, the 1 foot sea level rise in Mayport Village does closely mimic the Category 1 Storm Surge zone.
• Data from the Northeast Florida Regional Planning Council indicates potential sea level rise of 1’ to 3’ of rise by 2060, and 3’ to 6’ of rise by 2110.
