Resolution No. 2021 - , Modifying the East Pine Street Building Facade Grant Program Revisions(Presented by Humphrey) Community Development Director Tom Humphrey reminded the Commission at its last meeting they received a request from a business owner to fund the entirety of an awning totaling $1,740. The property owner supported the improvement but was not willing to pay for the awning. The Building Façade Grant program normally covers 50% of qualifying expenses initiated by a property owner to a maximum of$10,000. The Commission made an exception to the Façade Program guidelines in this case as a business incentive for the renter who has made other independent improvements to the building. At that time a suggestion was made to revise the program to offer grants up to $2,500 outright as further incentive to businesses in order to stimulate overall improvements in the qualification area. This would be a one-time grant offered per property with the intention of attracting further investment by the property owner. The map has been updated to include properties on North 1St. Staff felt it was important to update the map with the new boundaries with this round of program revisions. There was discussion regarding moving the boundary from the alleys along Pine Street to a block on both sides. Staff reminded the commission that they would have the authority to make concessions for properties outside the boundary if necessary.
