HomeMy WebLinkAboutSouth District FBC Grant Program Overview ApplicationUse of Funds:
Subject to the terms of a grant agreement, funds
may be used to reimburse developers for costs
associated with:
- Professional engineering (e.g. subdivision plat,
sensitive areas development plan, construction
drawings),
- Architectural (e.g. building elevations), &/or
- Design services (e.g. floor plans).
Execution of a grant agreement, however, does
not constitute City Staff or Council approval of
any project plans.
The City may act as a co-applicant for rezoning
applications that demonstrate a strong
commitment to the City’s goals and objectives for
the South District.
Funds must be used within 18 months of execution
of a grant agreement. Funds cannot be used for
work already completed. Funds will not be
released until the applicant submits paid invoices
or receipts, and final deliverables (e.g. plat,
elevations) that demonstrate consistency with the
South District Plan & form-based code to the City.
Application Deadline:
Interested property owners must submit the
attached application by February 25, 2022.
Applications will be considered as they are
received until all funding is allocated.
