Use Identified Funding and Revenue Potential Why identify funding and revenue potential Investing in a community building through identified funding sources ensures the project is financially sustainable and responsibly managed. By combining tax abatement bonds, grant opportunities, and rental revenue, the City can deliver a lasting community asset while trying to limit burden on taxpayers. Recommendations for identifying funding and revenue potential The TAC recommends the city consider utilizing the following funding sources to construct the community building: • Use tax Abatement authority to issue bonds • Consider a local sales tax – referendum voter approval • Pursue grant funding where available • Plan for revenue generation from rental facility Consider Spatial Planning for Future Infrastructure Why consider spatial planning for future infrastructure Considering spatial planning for future infrastructure ensures the community building and surrounding park spaces function cohesively and efficiently for years to come. By thoughtfully planning parking, storage, and open space, the city can meet current needs while accommodating future growth and preserving the park’s natural character. Recommendations for spatial planning for future infrastructure The TAC recommends building the community building on the parcel recently purchased at 2884 Centerville Road and SW Pioneer Park. The community building will be part of current infrastructure, but future city space needs should be considered. These include: • Providing ample parking to support building function and existing/future park user needs. Expand the west parking lot north toward the drainage pond. Expand the east parking lot south and west • Incorporate a new storage facility on the south side of the parcel to provide more room and storage for parks maintenance and recreation programming • Support passive use from park users around the building, while also providing private space for event use • Replace athletic courts if they are removed because of this project • Prioritize the preservation of viable trees; replace trees • Extend vegetation along Centerville Road to buffer nearby homes from commercial noise and light, minimizing neighborhood disruption City of Little Canada Technical Advisory Committee Final Report 21
