About this file
The document is a Community Benefit Agreement Information Sheet from the City of Tampa, outlining requirements for development projects that receive significant city participation. The document details a tiered system of community benefits requirements for projects based on total construction cost and city participation value, ranging from Tier 1 (projects over $5 Million) to Tier 3 (projects over $25 Million). Key mandatory requirements include holding public meetings, constructing streetscape improvements, achieving minimum Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation, creating local job opportunities, developing a Community Impact Report, and following city land development regulations.
As project costs and city participation increase, additional requirements are imposed, such as achieving LEED certification, exceeding energy performance standards, using sustainable design practices, establishing apprenticeship or training programs, and selecting supplementary community benefits. These benefits can include constructing affordable housing, making multi-modal transit improvements, providing technological public improvements, contributing to sustainability efforts, developing public spaces, or offering responsible wages and employee housing subsidies. The framework is designed to ensure that large development projects provide tangible benefits to the local community, with specific thresholds and requirements negotiated with the city for each individual project.
