This program provides grant funds to finance quality exterior improvements to buildings and vehicle use areas visible to the public. The program is managed by the Planning and Community Development Department, under the direction of the City Manager. Program Purpose The purpose of the program is to provide an opportunity for property owners or their tenants to upgrade the exterior of their buildings to attract tenants, strengthen the image of Mayport Road, increase utilization of existing buildings, enhance economic vitality, and improve property values. Mayport Road is an important commercial corridor in Atlantic Beach and a prime area for growth for new businesses due to distressed properties and high traffic volumes along the corridor. This area is a major focus for revitalization due to its importance to the City's image and future vitality of adjacent neighborhoods. Available Funding The program is a reimbursement program. Reimbursement payments will be issued to property/business owners after City staff has verified the completion of projects through site visits and review of receipts. Each applicant is responsible for the design and construction improvements to their buildings or vehicle parking areas.The program is administrated on a first- come, first-served basis to the limit of available funding and in accordance with the City's appropriated funds for the fiscal year. If the total value of funding requested for applications exceeds the total amount of funding available, applications will be prioritized by the Planning and Community Development Department staff. Properties with frontage on Mayport Road shall receive priority over properties fronting on side streets. Eligibility Prospective applicants for the grant funding are property owners or their business tenants who are improving the exterior facades of existing buildings or vehicle parking areas that are visible from public spaces within the Facade Improvement Area (Figure 1). Only buildings with commercial use(s) on the ground floor are eligible for grants. The City's Director of Planning and Community Development may recommend exceptions to these guidelines on a case-by-case basis. Applicants may receive assistance for more than one building at a time on separate parcels if funding is available. A maximum of one grant application per parcel will be accepted each fiscal year. The City reserves the right to deny applications from businesses of non-conforming uses and from property or business owners who are in violation of code or delinquent on payment of local business taxes, fines or fees. iiii 1 *-- 'if -I, 'Di— -,, ; 0 , ° ,.1 dill, IMF 110 1 tt• . oee city �of - Jacksonville 40' to V..i t ., I 1 T 2 0.11 '''-,,,,,A cf -nitglii . ."
