Council Auditor’s Office
2020-707
Summary:
This bill will authorize the execution of a Redevelopment Agreement for the renovation
of the Independent Life building (located at 233 West Duval Street) and the construction
of approximately 140 residential apartments, an approximately 21,000 square foot
grocery store, and an approximately 10,000 square foot restaurant and lounge. The
Redevelopment Agreement authorizes a $3,000,000 grant from the Downtown Historic
Preservation and Revitalization Trust Fund (HPTF) for the renovation of the Independent
Life Building. The grant will be appropriated by future legislation. Private Developer
investment of $30,000,000 is required in order to receive the grant.
Ordinance 2020-527-E revised the guidelines for the HPTF and authorized a 90-day
phase in period in which applicants could apply under the former guidelines approved
by Ord. 2002-395-E or the revised guidelines. The developer for the Independent Life
project has applied under the former guidelines. This bill waives the former guidelines
to approve a grant in excess of $1,000,000.
According to DIA’s calculation, the project will generate a return on investment of 0.76.
Concern:
The HPTF is over committed. Below is a summary of proposed commitments from the
HPTF which could impact the General Fund/GSD.
HPTF Available Balance as of 12/8/20 = $989,950
Appropriated Projects (see footnote):
2017-403-E Barnett Bank Building - $4,000,000
Committed Projects:
2017-403-E - Laura Street Trio - $4,000,000
2018-630-E - Jones Brothers Furniture - $1,500,000
2020-230-E - Ambassador Hotel - $1,500,000
Masonic Lodge (DIA Resolution 2018-03-04) - $50,000
Total Committed Projects = $7,050,000
Shortfall for DIA Committed Projects = ($2,060,050)
Footnote:
The Barnett Bank Building project is in default. The $4,000,000 appropriated for this
project can be de-appropriated and used to fund the committed projects shown above .
