It is the County's "Main Strect;'the only at-grade roadway that traverses the cntirc County on its north- south axis. The physical, economic and functional condition of the US 17-92 corridor has a great effect on tho citizens of several communities. The US 17-92 corridor is an important road and an important place in Seminole County. It is one of three "target areas" For economic dcvclopmcnt as identified in the Seminole County Economic Development Sp~atcgic Plan. It is the main road- way that connects the cntirc ventral part of the County, and it is an under-uitilizcd community resource that can enhance the visual image, the economic performance and livability of Scminolc County. It is a place where redevelopment can be accomplished and encouraged. The US 17-92 Conidor RLdevelopment Plan, adopted by the County and the participating cities in 1997, contains goals and objectives related to land use planning, inhasuneture and scr- viccs, land dcvclopmcnt regulations, economic dcvclopmcnt, housing and aesthetic dosign. The US 17-92 CRA is divided into four separate Sub-Districts, each of which is guided by its own Stlatcgy Plan. Corridor Strategy Plan The Corridor Strategy Plan for each Sub-District focused on both private and public imcsuucnt for the corridor identifying key locations for redcvclopmcntand key areas for additional public invcstntcnt. The maps identify the suggested public improvements and potential private inveshncnt. The Franu- work Principles were established to identity the Sub-District's strengths, limitations and opporutities which providca Iramework for the C"orridor Strategy. Tlu Action Plan idenCi- fics specific opporhmitics and constraints for rcdcvclopmcnt of the corridor. Purpose The purpose of this study is to identify the problems and ob- stacles to redevelopment in the Fcrn Park Sub-District and to create a Rcdcvclopmcnt Strategy based on a collective vision fur the area. Theplan will identity rcdcvclopmcnt opportu- nities and public investment snategics for the Community RedevclopmcntAgcncy, County and the participating cities within the Sub-District. The Jirllowing princiyles were established to ident~~ the sub-district strengths, limitations and opportunities which provides a framework for the corridor sh~ate~'V. The eslabl6chmerv oJJrautework principles is necessary In help create an overall corridor plan consistent with the input Jiorn the variou.e stakeholders involved througrhwrt the process. Create Great Streets Despite the strong neighborhoods and com- munity facilities in the Sub-District, the US 17-92 roadway defines the character of Fcm Park. US 17-92 and the streets of Fcrn Palk should be transformed to match the strength of the adjacent neighborhoods. ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT commercial CORRIDORS Seminole Economic Opportunity: Rede- velopedformer Kmart Site The fomtcr Kmart site is important since it is one of the larger rcdcvclopmcnt sites in the Fcm Park Sub-District. sshd rcdcvclopnunt of thcftmncr I site could have a significant catalyzing on nearby commercial and residcntial Although market analysis projeds a strong capacity for urban residcntial dcvclopmcnt, both for sale and for rent, it is cxpcctcd that the market will not immediately support medium valor residcmial on the site until the character of the Gcnn Park area is tnmsformed through the Ncw Oxford Road and the new open space park. However. with a moderate conn~ibution to the rcdcvclopmcnt of the site. the site can Icad the Ecm Park private rcdcvclopmcnt cftbrts and ultimately contribute to the County and CRA tax proceeds.

Fcrn Pnrk, however, is built out and all change will come through rcdcvclopmcnt. Rcdcvclop- mcnt is much more diFlicult. Parcel sizes arc already decided, streets and utilities must be adapted, existing buildings must be mnovated or rebuilt, and neighborhoods arc in close proximity. Several projects and policy changes arc neces- sary to make rcdcvclopmcnt within the Pcm Park Sub District as attractive as dcvclopmcnt in the C'ounty's remaining grecnfickl areas. Identify Catalytic Infrastruc- ture Investments Infmstruculro projects represcm the most et= fcctivc and inuncdiatc boost to the rcdcvclop- mcnt ofthe Fcm Pnrk Sub-District. The State has progranuncd both the Urban Rcconstnlct Project and a proposed "ttyover' at State Road 436 to improve mobility and enhance safety. Other opportunities for infrastructure improvements, as proposed, include a Ncw Oxtbrd Road, a series of regional swnnwa- terponds including the conversion of the wetland behind the former Kmart site into nn open space park, onhanccments to the public transportation system and the construction of a civic uscwithin thcSub-District. No Change This strategy applies to the residcntial areas of Pern Park, consisting of single Family and condominium residences. The neighborhoods arc strong and only need reinforcing. Rcsi- dcntial density is cxpcctcd m be maintained. Small scale additions to private homes will continue to improve the stability and quality of these areas. Public intcrvcntions such as naffic calming and code cniorcentcnt can mainmin the residcntial nature of these areas. Incremental Change Redevelopment Plan The objective of redevelopment is to improve the character of the built environment. This is accomplished with a strategy that includes looking at the existing fabric of the builtenvi- ronment, its context and the obstacles that im- pederedevelopment. Such an approach views the study area from three different lenses: retaining existing fabric and revitalizing it, reorganizing current development to allow it to function more effectively in its context, and redevelopment of key areas. The redevelopment framework for the Sub-District recognizes that within the Fem Park area, a variety of unique development conditions exists that will dictate diferent redevelopment approaches. The properties within the Fern Park study area have been evaluated based on the following approaches; no c angt , itart~r« rritar chrasc;~ and probable change. Respect Market Conditions All redevelopment should be supported by the market. Fem Park's market position does not support the current retail, although other uses hold market promise. These uses include rental apartments, condominiums and townhomes, restaurants, regional otnce, Sex warehouse and regional retail. Probable Change Along US 17-92 south of Lake of the Woods, there is potential for small-scale rcdcvclop- mcnt. In sonic places, non-residcntial parcels by the C'SX rail lint or a lake, but in others, Ihcre is no buffer betwccu uses. Parcel sizes that arc narrow or shallow limit rcdcvclop- mentopportunities, as long as di ITicult pared consolidation is not a viable option due to a weak ntnrkct. Long tcnn steps can help to in- crenunlally remake these undcmlilizcd areas. The intcrscction of US I7-92 and SR 436 is the only "regional" location in the study area capable of future higher intensity dcvclop- mcnt Yct with tho planned US 17-92 flyover at SR 3A6, access and visibility to the site from US I7-92 is significantly impaired. Given strategic access improvements and the large-parcel ownership pattern, rcdcvclopmcnt of the valuable real esi<ate at this important lo- cation can add tremendous value to the cntirc Fcm Park area. ^ U517-92 is considered to The US Hwy 17/92 Corridor traverses the heart of Seminole County and Central Florida. This important roadway provides ready access to all major commercial, residential and employment centers. Seminole County has designated this corridor as the SEED district in recognition of its valued location and assets. -.w _~~ ,. If your property is located in a designated SEED area, you may be eligible fora: • $2,500 Job Bonus Refund for each new job created in a designated SEED area by an eligible business. These benefits may be greater if the area has other designations (i.e., Enterprise Zone, etc;) • Sales Tax Credit on building materials purchased for the construction of a housing project ormixed-use project in a designated brownfield area. In addition, if you enter into a SEED Site Rehabilitation Agreement (SSRA), you will be eligible for: • 50% Voluntary Cleanup Tax Credit (VCTC) applicable to Florida's corporate income tax; • 25% Additional VCTC if the property is redeveloped with affordable housing; • State Loan Guarantees for primary lenders, up to 50% on all brownfield sites and up to 75% if the property is redeveloped as affordable housing. Federal benefits that may also be available: • Site-Specific Activities Grant to DEP to conduct Phase I or II assessments and/or limited source removals for eligible recipients using federal grant funds; • National Brownfields Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund and Cleanup Grants; • Brownfields Federal Tax Incentive that allows environmental cleanup costs to be fully s ~ ~ . Cleaning up and reinvesting in SEED properties facilitates job growth, utilizes existing infrastructure, increases local tax bases, removes development pressures on undeveloped open land as well as both improving and protecting the environment.
