On July 1, 1977, the Florida Legislature amended the Community Redevelopment Act of 19691 to allow governments to use taxi increment financing (TIF) as another tool Community Redevelopment Agencies are granted the authority to undertake redevelopment projects once a community redevelopment plani is approved, as outlined in section 163.360, Florida! Statutes (F.S.). The plan guides future development ande expenditures from the TIFF Fund so as to eliminate existingconditions of blighta and to create ac condition for continued private reinvestment. The plan provides a framework for coordinating and facilitating public and private redevelopment within the geographically defined area. Following the adoption of the initial redevelopment plan, subsequent modifications and amendments may be adopted by the Community  forr redevelopment.  Redevelopment Agency pursuant to section 163.361, F.S. Purpose ofi the Century Redevelopment Area Plan  Based on community input and visioning, this redevelopment plan evaluates the CRA's physical and economic conditions and the challenges and opportunities facing the community. Redevelopment strategies and an implementation plan are included that will enable the Town of Century to stimulate and encourage economic development, provide increased public amenities, improve pedestrian safety and effectively manage redevelopment within the CRA to realize the Town's vision and long-term community goals. Short-term (uptot two years) and long-term (up to ten years) capital improvements projects and other programs/artivities are identified asameans of addressing these issues in a way that will maximize leveraging of local, state and federal resources in This redevelopment plan, developed with broad community involvement, supports the redevelopment of the  the implementation of this plan.  Century CRA andi is written in compliance with section 163.362, F.S.  The Town of Century  The Town of Century is distinguished by its historic, hometown character and natural environment that fosters a high quality of family life. Located in northern Escambia County, Florida, abutting the Alabama state line, Century is approximately 2,142 acres (Escambia County GIS, 2017) including water bodies and rights-of-way. The Alger- Sullivan Lumber Company Residential Historic District is a focal point of the community, encompassing  approximately 230 acres and containing 45 historic buildings. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in September 1989. On July 10, 1979 the Town of South Flomaton changed its name to the Town of Century. Directly adjacent to the new Town of Century was an unincorporated areaa alsoknowna as Century. OnA April 22, 1980 the Town of Century annexed the unincorporated area and both entities became the Town of Century. The Town has lost population since that time primarily due to the change in ownership and ultimately the closure of the Town's major industry, the Alger-Sullivan Lumber Company (owned at the time by the Wayne Dalton Company),  in 1989.  Alger Sullivan Lumber Company circa 1905  Century Redevelopment Area Plan  Page 1    Century Community Redevelopment Area (CRA)  On February 15, 2016, the Century area was thei target of an EF-3 tornado that damaged or destroyed 40 homes and businesses. In an effort by the Town to address the long-term effects on the community of a downturn in economic development, exacerbated by the damages and destruction caused by the tornado, the Century Town Council proposed the delineation of a redevelopment area in a part of the town that was disproportionately affected by these conditions. To administer the activities and programs that can be offered within the redevelopment area the Town adopted a Finding of Necessity and created a Community Redevelopment Agency The Century CRA is approximately 510 acres in size, about 24% of the Town's total acreage, and is comprised of approximately 365 parcels (Escambia County GIS, 2017). The CRA is located in the southeast portion of the Town, bounded on the west by U.S. Highway 29, on the north by State Road 4, and on the east and south by Jefferson Map: 1 below shows the location of the CRA in relation toi the Town of Century.

Statutes. This document acts ast thef foundation for blight determination within the CRA and the elimination of these blighting characteristics remains the primary focus for redevelopment activities. Twot findings were made that proved the CRA exhibited conditions of blight. Finding 1: Predominance of defective or inadequate street layout, parking facilities, roadways, bridges, or The proposed redevelopment area lacks publici infrastructure including inadequate street layout/lack of direct accessibility to a public road, unpaved roads and lack of stormwater management systems. All of these  publictransportation facilities:  conditions hinder reinvestment and redevelopment opportunities.  aA  Finding 2: Deterioration ofs site and other improvements:  Based upon windshield surveys conducted during the month of June 2017, there is a predominance of deteriorated or dilapidated housing int the proposed area. Single family homes and mobile homes were scored based upon a point system ranging from 1 (excellent condition) to 4 (dilapidated condition). The windshield survey showed that, of the 257 housing units located within the CRA, 119 (46%) felli int the categories of poor or dilapidated condition requiring major chablao/ecomiructon or possibly demolition.

CRA VISION  Beginning in February 2018 and ending in May 2018, the Town of Century conducted a series of four community workshops that were heldt to engage the publici in discussions about thei future of the CRA and to provide direction for the redevelopment plan (see Appendix B). The citizens ultimately developed a vision for the community that is  embodied in the mission tot foster a high quality of family life.  CENTURY CRA VISION  The Century Redevelopment Areai is attractive and charming, appealing to people wanting to live in a traditional neighborhood that includes a range of residential choices, thriving businesses, parks and recreation facilities, schools and a registered Historic District, all connected to each other through at functioning system of roads, pedestrian and bicycling facilities.  Century Redevelopment Area Plan  Page5    LAND USE Existing Land Use  The existing land uses within the Century CRA have been determined through an analysis of the State of Florida, Department of Revenue "Use Codes" assigned by the Escambia County Property Appraiser's office to each oft the Table 2 below details the distribution of existing land uses within the CRA, Figure 1 below depicts the percentages ofexisting land uses withini the CRA; and Map 3 ont thet following page shows the distribution oft thel land uses within  parcels located within the CRA. the CRA boundary.

Oft the 184 acres of residential land use, the predominant usage is for as single family homes (78%). Based ont thet total number of parcels developed: as single-family or mobile home residential use, the average residential density ini the CRA is 0.81 unit per acre, which is extremely low considering that a minimum of four units per acre to a maximum of 10 units per acre are allowable int thel low- to high-density residential land use categories int the CRA.

Institutional Land Use  Public and quasi-public landi includes public buildings, educational facilities and religious institutions. Publicand quasi-public buildings located within the CRA include: the Century Business Center; Pensacola State College; Century Academy; Town of Century Maintenance Building/shop; the Escambia County Courthouse Annex; Escambia County Sheriff; Escambia County Health Department; and Community Health of Northwest Florida. There aret five religious institutions: scatteredt throughout thearea. Nop publicelementary, middle or highschools  are located int the area. Future Land Use/Zoning  The Future Land Use categories that currently guide development ini the CRA were established in the most recently updated Town of Century Comprehensive Plan 2025 (adopted in March 2012). Table 4 below lists the future land use categories in the CRA. The categories in the CRA include residential-only, commercial-only, and mixed-use categories, as well as categories for conservation, public/institutional, and parks and recreation.

Based on the number of vacant parcels compared to the total acreage of vacant land, the average size of the vacant parcels in the CRA is 1.12 acres; however, vacant parcel sizes range from the smallest (at 0.08 acre) to the largest (at 37.59 acres). Table 5 on the following page lists the number of parcels and the acreage of vacant lots byf future land use category.  Vacant Land Analysis  The ability of land to support development, better known as the carrying capacity, is a major determinant in land use patterns. Environmental permitting requirements restrict development in natural areas and preserve wildlife habitats. Land development regulations limit negative aspects of development for individual properties and for roadways and other infrastructure that affect regional areas. Table 6 on the following page provides a brief summary of the maximum development that can reasonably be expected to occur based on the current  vacant land characteristics.

The CRA includes one "Principal Arterial" highway(U.S.29), one' "Minor Arterial Rural" road (State Hwy.4), andf five "Minor Collector Rural" roads Jefferson. Avenue, Hecker Road, Alger Road, Front Street, and Pond Street). There are no immediate plans to improve or expand any of these highways, roads and streets, other than routine maintenance and re-surfacing projects, as required. In addition, there are certain locations ini the CRA1 that would benefit from the design of local street rights-of-way  Page 10  Century Redevelopment Area Plan    that would address the issue of homes/businesses that don't have direct access to a road and use formal or informalaccessways from other parcels that are located on ar road. This would makei future development more The Town of Century does not provide af fixed-route publict transit service within the town or vicinity. Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT) provides one commuter route that provides limited service to and from Century. Route 60 leaves the Century Courthouse at 6:15 a.m., 12:35 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, makes stops along U.S. 29 in Molino, Cantonment, and 9 Mile Road, with the final stop at the ECAT Transfer Center on Fairfield Drive in Pensacola. There are no plans to expand Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT) service into north Escambia County, based on the Pensacola Urbanized Area/Escambia County Ten Year Transit Development Plan (updated in August 2016).

Implementation of these improvements will provide connectivity to the overall transportation: system.  Infrastructure Potable Water  The Town of Century owns and operates a potable water utility system that provides service within the entire CRA. Int the Town of Century, groundwater from the Sand and Gravel Aquifer is the source ofi its potable water supply. The Town's water treatment system has consistently operated in compliance with all criteria established by the FDEP with respect to public water supplies. The facilities within the CRA are adequate to The Town of Century Sewer and Water Department is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system. In addition to wastewater treatment facilities, the Town operates and maintains a collection: system comprised of gravity collection mains, lift stations, transmission force mains, and a means of effluent disposal. The service life for force mains and gravity sewers is variable and depends on pipe material, soil conditions, construction methods and other factors. The Town needs to assess the conditions of these The Town does not allow the use of new septic tanks for wastewater, and when any existing septic tanks need repair, they are required to be abandoned and sewer service connected to the Town sewer system. While demolishing the homes within the CRA that were destroyed by the tornado, there were cases of septic tanks that had not been properly abandoned when a connection to the sewer lines occurred. Research should be undertaken to find out how many septic tanks are ini this situation and a means of properly abandoning these The enforcement of stormwater management regulations within the Town of Century falls under the jurisdiction of four government agencies: the Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD) the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Escambia County, and the Town of Century Public Works Department.

Successfull implementation of the Century CRAI Plan requires an increased residential population integrated with, and interconnected to, a wide range of commercial uses. The addition of new housing units- attached housing, accessory units, or multi-family dwellings-to existing neighborhoods creates opportunities for communities to slowly increase density without radically changing the landscape. Most important, a range of housing choices allows households of all incomes to find their niche in the community and creates the synergy for Thet following are general land use techniques and programs that may bei implemented to assist ini the achievement  energetic, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods.  ofi increased residential density in the CRA Area, with the primary objectives to:  Upgrade the existing attainable housing stock;  Ensure the compatibility of new housing stock withi the community; and tov workforce-income can afford into thet fabric of the community. Revise Land Development Code To Provide for al Mix of Housing Types  Provide the development framework to allow assimilation of attainable housing - that which low-income  Achievement of increased housing density, where appropriate, and provision for a wider range of housing types in the Century CRA is hampered by the existence of land development regulations that are inconsistent with the adopted Future Land Use classifications adopted in1 the Town's Comprehensive Plan. The Town of Century is in the  Century Redevelopment Area Plan  Page 15    process of adopting a new Land Development Code that will address many current issues. Following are some  recommendations that address thei issue ofe effective land development regulations. Site Standards That Promote Compatible Infill of Higher Density Dwellings  The Centuryl Land Development Code does not currently regulate building setbacks, minimum sizes of lots, and minimum street frontage for many uses and zoning categories. The existing code advances the concept of traditional: suburban growth geared towards large-lot, single-family detached housing, but are not well suited to helping the CRA reapi the benefits that increased land use choices can yield, including better walkability and a greater range of housing and transportation choices. Figure 2 below shows the possibilities for a mixed- residential or mixed-use development site, when land development codes are written for flexibility.  Figure 2: Prototypical Infill Development  Attainable Housing Strategies  Fort the purposes of this CRA Plan, attainable housing is defined as housing renovated, reconstructed or built by the private or non-profit sector for income eligible households based on the income limits set for the Town annually by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD). These income limits are used to determine eligibility for federalhousing: assistance and other assistance programs. Low-income households face the most severel housingb burden - households earning from 30 percent to 80 percent oft the area mediani income (AMI). However, moderate-income, "workforce" households earning from 80 percent to 120 percent of the Attainable housing strategies, either mandatory or voluntary, provide an environment where low-income and workforce housing can and should bel built side-by-side with market rate housing through: Housing density bonuses that provide incentives encouraging developers to create workforce housing Requiring developers to designate a portion of development as workforce residential units meeting Participation ina a Community Land Trust that provides land for attainable housing at alli income limits; and Development of an Attainable Housing Partnership Program to coordinate with other public and private  AMI are also facing al housing affordability problem.  voluntarily;  requirements of an inclusionary housing program;  non-profit attainable housing providers and programs.

Expand economic development opportunities  Strategies and Recommendations for Addressing Blight Conditions  Transportation  Improve housing conditions with repair and affordable home ownership opportunities;  Highlight historic and natural amenities; and Identify targeted development sites.  NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT  The implementation of the CRA Plan will foster many positive impacts to the quality of life in the CRA in terms of increased amenities, improved community facilities, improved environmental, physical and social quality, and an expanded tax base. While specific impacts cannot be determined without site-specific proposals for which to evaluate impacts, these activities, including the construction of new residential, commercial, and mixed-use development cannot be accomplished without affecting transportation, environmental quality, community services, employment, and housing. The intent is to ensure that those impacts have an overall beneficial effect to the residents, property owners, and business owners within the area as well as the larger community of Century.  This section presents the range ofi impacts that can be expected in each category.  Transportation  The CRA Plan proposes projects and programs to enhance the pedestrian environment and expand bicycling facilities. In addition, the mixed-use FLUM categories within the CRA are expected to provide some relief tot traffic congestion in the community by fostering the development of traditional neighborhood characteristics. Closer proximity of commercial and employment opportunities and civic and institutional uses to residential uses  encourages pedestrian, rather than automobile, trips.  CentuyRedevelopment Area Plan  Page 19    Environmental Quality  Specifici impacts cannot be determined without site-specific proposals,therefore, this section describes the general  nature ofi impacts that can be expectedi in each category.  Water Quality  Any repairs, upgrades and replacements to potable water, sanitary sewer and stormwater facilities that may occur throughout the CRA are to be programmed concurrently with other redevelopment efforts. Through  replacement of deteriorating sewer and water lines, along with more efficient stormwater management facilities and treatment of runoff prior to discharge into the City's waterways, the water quality in the CRA is expected to improve incrementally each year. The site plan review process includes analysis of infrastructure andi requires each development toa addressi individualsite  Ss  issues.  Protection of Vegetation  This plan proposes landscaping for public rights-of-way and public parks and open spaces. The Town site plan review process emphasizes maximum preservation of trees; however, development and redevelopment activities generally require the removal of some percentage of the existing trees. In these cases, the land development regulations require additional trees to be planted to replace protected trees that are removed, The implementation of the CRA Plan does not involve the addition of any anticipated point sources of air pollution that would require State or Federal permits. Construction activities that occur as a part of project development may be a source of particulates. Dust control measures are required to be employed during these Thel land uses permitted within the CRA are not generally the type to consistently cause high noise levels. With the exception of the vacant Alger-Sullivan Lumber Mill that is zoned industrial, the majority of the other allowable commercial businesses are required to conduct activities within buildings. This plan recommends analysis of land use changes that may restrict thei type of industrial land use that can take place. Construction activities may cause at temporary increase in local noise levels; however, these activities will take place during normal working hours and will be short-lived. The Town has adopted a noise ordinance that protects its residents from high noise levels. The CRA: should coordinate witht the Townand adjacent jurisdictions to ensure  and also require parking lot plantings.  Air Quality  activities. Noise  that noise does noti interfere with the residents and business owners int the CRA.  Availability of Community Services  Thei implementation oft the CRAI Plan will provide thet framework for more attractive and functional neighborhoods, which willl lead to al higher residential population: andi increased business opportunities. Iti is anticipatedi that physical and social conditions in the area will improve with the gradual elimination of deteriorated and dilapidated  structures, some of which cater to a criminal and transient population.  Effect on School Population  The implementation: oft the redevelopment plan wille establish ar revitalized and expanded residential base within the CRA. This plan makes provisions for attainable housing for moderate-income markets and new market-responsive housing that accommodates growing market segments. Many of the existing and some of the new CRA residents will likely be single professionals, "empty-nesters" and other populations that generally do noti include school age children; however, the attainable and workforce housing units will be morel likelyt to attract families withs school age  Page. 20  Century Redevelopment Area Plan    children. The Town will coordinate with the Escambia County School District ons school planning concurrency issues  as required by State law. Employment  The implementation of the redevelopment plan will increase employment opportunities for the residents of the CRA through the establishment of new business and new opportunities for community-based entrepreneurship. Small-scale community business development is a key factor to providing a stronger, more diverse employment base that is more resistant to temporary economic cycles and decisions regarding capital mobility.  Relocation  Relocation of residents and businesses displaced as result of property acquisition by the Community Redevelopment Agency willf follow procedures that fulfill thei intent of Florida Statutes 421.55. As well, the City has adopted a relocation policy (Resolution No. 80-44) that provides equitable treatment for all property owners and tenants in the event of displacement resulting from property acquisition by the CRA. At this writing, there are no CRA Projects proposed for implementation that would necessitate the displacement of any households. The proposed Land Use, Zoning, Housing, and Economic Development Elements of this CRA Plan specifically seek to promote the reuse of existing structures, provide assistance for neighborhood revitalization, allow the current Shouldt the CRA1 feeld compelled to undertake a project, atsomet future pointi int time, whichy would require involuntary relocation, the policya as setf forthi int the above cited Resolution would bef followed.

MPLEMENTATION PLAN  Thet following implementation plan presents at timeline and sequence by which the projects and programs identified within the Redevelopment Plan may be implemented. Several of the projects are sequential, multi-stage projects and require consecutive year schedules and funding. Other projects may be listed later on the implementation timeline in order to utilize anticipated TIF revenues. The implementation plan presents a two-year Action Plan addressing immediate cost-effective actions that may bei initiated by the CRA and baseline activities that will enable thei implementation of projects and programs identified int thel Long-Term Implementation Plan.  Two-Year Action Plan  The two-year Action Plan presents proposed activities and tasks that are designed to enable the future implementation of long term development programs and encourage long term private investment within the CRA. The first two years' tasks listed in the Action Plan rely heavily on Town staff as the primary resource to minimize Subsequent years' activities, years 3-10, propose tasks and actions that require utilization of TIF revenue, General  immediate impact upon the TIF revenues. Long Term mplementation Plan  Fund revenues and alternate funding sources as previously described.  The Long-Term Implementation Plan presents activities and tasks that build upon the tasks identified in the Two- Year Action Plan and begins to implement the programs identified during the Community Workshops. The list of proposed activities and projects identified is not complete or exhaustive and should be utilized by the Town as  resources and opportunities present themselves.

Ar map depicting the proposed redevelopment area and boundary description for the proposed area are presented as Exhibit A. Date obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau, 2011-2015. American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates and field surveys were used to formulate these findings. The following data and analysis support the legislative finding that conditions in the proposed redevelopment areai meet  the criteria ofblight as described in Florida Statute 163.340(8).  Findings  A "blighted area" is an area experiencing economic distress, endangerment to life or property due to the presence ofal large number of deteriorated structures. Thej proposed area exhibits conditions ofblight as defined in Florida Statutes to include the following: Finding : Predominance of defective or inadequate street layout, parking facilities, roadways. bridges, or public transportation facilities: The proposed redevelopment area lacks public infrastructure Lo include adequate street layout, pavedr roads and stormwater management systems. Inadequate street layout, lack of paved roads and stormwater management systems, appears to contribute to faulty lot layouts and usefulness ofthe property. Lack ofa adequate public intrastructure hinders reinvestment and redevelopment opportunities. The faulty lot layouts, lack ofaccessibility or usefulness ofproperty in the  proposed redevelopment areas supports the need for redevelopment. Finding 2: Deterioration of site and other improvements:  Based upon windshield surveys conducted during the month of June 2017, there isa predominance of deteriorated or dilapidated housing in the proposed area. Single family residents were: scored based upon a point system ranging from 1, Excellent Condition to4, Dilapidated Condition. Thel housing conditions windshield survey results found 119 or 47%of thes singlc family houses in the area fall ini the categories of poor or ilapidatedcondtion which means they require some form ofrehabilitation or demolitonieonsinuction. Seventy-one (71) housing units or 28% were found tol be in good condition. However, thesc housing units show need for repair or rehabilitation as indicated by structural or roofconditions and lack of energy related improvements. Sixty-seven or 26% ofhousing units were found to bei in excellent  condition.    Its should bei noted that almost one-halfor 49.5% ofthe Town's housing stock was constructed prior to 1960. Over 160 or 20.7% oft the homes in Century are. 50 years or older. The majority ofthel houses in the proposed area were constructed prior to 1960. In addition, there are forty- eight (48) mobile homes located within the proposed area. Mobile homes comprise 19% ofthe Due to the age oft the majority oft the houses in the proposed area, it would make sense that the houses are in need for repair or rehabilitation to include energy related improvements. The median value of owner-occupied housing in the Town of Century is $40,000 compared to the County median housing value of $81,700. More than half or approximately 59.5% oft total housing units are valued at less than $50,000. Overall housing conditions and values support the The average median household income in the area is $24,583 compared to Escambia County's Lack of complete and accurate legal descriptions, lack of title to thej property and unpaid ad valorem property taxes also are: factors which constitutes an economic and social liability imposing onerous burdens which decrease the tax basc and reducc tax revenues.  total housing units within thej proposed redevelopment area.  need for redevelopment in the area. median household income of $46,001.  Summary  Based upon the findings presented, the proposed redevelopment area exhibits conditions of blight as defined by Florida Statutes. The proposed area would benefit from redevelopment programs and projects. A combination ofrehabilitation, conservation and redevelopment oft the proposed area will support the elimination, prevention and remedy of the conditions ofblight.
