Report and Discussion
Background:
This item presents a status update on the Southside Action Plan. The item provides a history of the Southside Action Plan including an overview of the three phases of the plan, the corresponding June 2023 amendment to the Tallahassee-Leon County Comprehensive Plan, and “action” projects that have been implemented through a combination of public and private investments in southern Leon County. These investments help demonstrate the continued investment of Leon County and community partners to promote balanced and equitable growth and development in line with the Board’s Strategic Priorities and Initiatives in the Leon County FY2022-2026 Strategic Plan.
On June 12, 2023, the Board approved a text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan which included an annual reporting requirement on the implementation of the Southside Action Plan in coordination with the County’s strategic plan. This status update is the first required annual update since the Board’s adoption of the text amendment to the Southside Action Plan.
This item advances the following FY2022-FY2026 Strategic Initiatives:
- Continue to work with the state to seek matching grants to convert septic to sewer systems and support septic system upgrades. (2022-11, rev. 2023)
- Continue to support updates to the Comprehensive Plan that encourage annexation of southside properties within the Urban Services Area. (2022-41)
- Continue to explore policies such as inclusionary housing and mixed housing developments to increase the stock of affordable housing throughout Leon County. (2023- 52)
These particular Strategic Initiatives align with the Board’s Environment, Governance and Quality of Life Strategic Priorities:
- (EN1) Protect the quality and supply of our water.
- (G5) Exercise responsible stewardship of County resources, sound financial management, and ensure that the provision of services and community enhancements are done in a fair and equitable manner.
- (Q4) Support and promote access to basic healthcare, mental health, affordable housing, and homeless prevention services to our community members most in need.
The SAP is a robust three-phased approach to creating balanced and equitable growth in those areas designated within the SAP boundary of southern Leon County (Figure 1). The SAP was initiated in 2021 by the Board and the City Commission to re-evaluate the “Southern Strategy Area” policies that were adopted into the Tallahassee-Leon County Comprehensive Plan in 1998 in response to growing concerns by the Board and the Tallahassee City Commission about the unbalanced development pattern happening throughout the County. The primary goal of the policy was to encourage quality land development and redevelopment with the intended outcomes of increasing population growth, incentivizing retention and expansion of business and employment opportunities, and attaining an income mix in the comparable to the remainder of the urbanized county. In 2021, the Board and the City Commission directed staff to update the policy to include a change in policy name and to better meet the goals of the original policy to encourage quality land development and redevelopment.
Figure 1. Map of the Southside Action Plan Boundary
The SAP three-phased approach was approved by the Board and the City Commission at the April 13, 2021, Joint Public Hearing on the Comprehensive Plan. The approach differed from previous policy updates in that it incorporated a substantial community engagement process to ensure that the goals of the policy reflected the priorities of the southside community members that lived, worked, and worshiped in the area. These three phases outlined in the agenda materials at that time were: 1) Introduction to the Southside (Initial Assessment); 2) Understanding the Southside (Community Feedback); and 3) Southside in Action (Policy Review and Recommendations).
Throughout the development of the Southside Action Plan, the Board has been provided updates by staff at the meetings listed below:

Implementation of the SAP is achieved through Phase III of the plan: Southside in Action (Policy Review and Recommendations), which includes the June 2023 adoption of the updated SAP policy in the Tallahassee-Leon County Comprehensive Plan and the ongoing action projects in the southside area that align with the updated policy objectives and Leon County Strategic Initiatives.
This item provides the Board with an overview of SAP implementation, which includes a summary of public and private investments made within the area over the past five years, representing a total investment of over $1.13 billion. Additionally, this item provides a review of recent annexations of properties into the City of Tallahassee within, or in close proximity to, the SAP boundary. These annexations represent previously unincorporated areas that are now eligible for City services, such as sewer, due to their location within the Urban Services Area and City of Tallahassee limits.
Analysis:
The adoption of the SAP to replace the previous “Southern Strategy Area” as Goal 11 in the Tallahassee-Leon County Comprehensive Plan was approved at the June 13, 2023, Board public hearing and June 14, 2023 City Commission public hearing, and became effective on August 5, 2023 (Attachment #1). Since that time, the Board has implemented a number of public and private projects that reflect the updated SAP Policy objectives of: Beautification, Investment, and Engaged and Activated Citizens.
SAP projects that are active or recently completed represent over $1.13 billion in investment in the SAP boundary. This includes approximately $616.1 million in direct public investments by Leon County and Blueprint 2020 including Florida Department of Transportation investments in Blueprint infrastructure projects. These investments are in addition to other public investments totaling $393.4 million and known investments in other major ongoing and proposed developments that total approximately $124 million, which are tracked by the Tallahassee-Leon County Office of Economic Vitality. Table 1 shows these investments broken out by implementing entity.

The Tallahassee-Leon County Office of Economic Vitality (OEV) tracks Major Ongoing and Proposed Developments. These projects include major proposed and ongoing construction projects that include 20 or more residential units and/or 10,000 or more square feet of non-residential development. A map of the current Major Ongoing and Proposed Developments, and those completed in the last five years, within the SAP, is included at Figure 2.
Figure 2. SAP Map of Ongoing, Proposed, and Completed Developments Since 2019
In addition, there are currently 138 active building permits in the SAP area. Of these, 116 are residential uses, encompassing 704 units and nearly 973,000 square feet. Twenty-two active permits constitute over 272,000 square feet of non-residential uses. This analysis provides further information on these investments, which total well-over $252 million, and highlights several key projects.
Key Public Investment Highlights in the SAP Area
As shown in Table 1, the overwhelming majority of the $1.13 billion SAP investment comes from direct investments by Leon County, the City of Tallahassee, Blueprint, the CRA, or FDOT investments in Blueprint projects. These public investments highlight the commitment of local leadership to either directly fund, or successfully advocate for, investments into local projects. Additional details on many of the projects and programs that correspond to the total investments in Table 1 are included in Attachment #2. This item includes additional project investment totals than those compiled in Attachment #2.
Table 2 and Table 3 provide additional information on SAP investments in two key areas: Infrastructure projects by the County and investments in affordable housing projects in the SAP by Leon County, its Housing Finance Authority, and the Tallahassee Housing Authority.

As Table 3 shows, direct investments by Leon County and bond financing from the Leon County Housing Finance Authority will contribute an investment of more than $109 million to implement over 780 new or improved residential units in the SAP area.
The remainder of this section provides information on many public projects being implemented by Leon County, Leon County Housing Finance Authority, Tallahassee Housing Authority, and Blueprint, as well as several City projects (Southern Triangle Water & Sewer Expansion, TLH International Processing Facility, and the Southside Transit Center) that will benefit unincorporated residents.
Tram Road Multi-Use Trail – Gaile Ave. to Crossing Rocks Rd. (County): The Tram Road Multi-Use Trail is under construction. This approximately 0.5-mile project will provide a 10-ft wide concrete surface trail. To mitigate the stormwater requirements, 4-ft of the 10-ft wide trail will be constructed with porous concrete, an innovative approach for project implementation. This project provides crucial connectivity between the St. Marks Trail, area residences, and Fairview Middle School and Jack McLean Park via connections with the City’s Zillah Street PASS project. This investment of $2,240,000 is anticipated to be completed in 2024 and will connect to the future segment from Crossing Rocks Road to Capital Circle Southeast, where it will connect to the SUN Trail Priority Network. At the May 14, 2024 Board meeting, the Board unanimously authorized the submission of an application for the U.S. Department of Transportation Safe Streets and Roads for All grant, seeking $4.2 million in funding for the remaining portion of the Tram Road Trail, from Crossing Rocks Road to Capital Circle Southeast.
Woodside Heights/Annawood/Belair Septic to Sewer Projects (County): These three projects represent an investment of nearly $10 million in the Primary Springs Protection Zone (PSPZ) that will provide sewer connections to over 300 properties in three neighborhoods located inside (north) of Capital Circle Southeast. The Woodside Heights project was completed in 2019, the Annawood/Belair project was completed this year.
The County’s progress in constructing new sewer infrastructure in southern Leon County can be attributed to multiple factors. These factors include strategic planning and establishing goals to remove/replace septic tanks in the PSPZ, a first of its kind partnership with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) providing multiyear matching funds via the Springs Improvement Plan, the dedication of local sales tax funds for water quality projects, and substantial success in pursuing state grants with proven results.
Magnolia Drive Multi-Use Trail (County Managed/Blueprint Funded): The Magnolia Drive Trail will provide an important 2.41-mile multimodal connection from S. Adams Street to Apalachee Parkway. The segments from S. Adams Street to Pontiac Drive are completed. This project is being primarily funded by Blueprint, with the County managing construction. The project will also underground electric utilities from S. Monroe Street to Chowkeebin Nene. Construction for Phase II from Pontiac Drive to Diamond Street is expected to begin later this year and be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025. At the February 20, 2024 Board Meeting, the Board approved the bid award for Phase II construction in the amount of $8,769,096. Design for the final segment Phase III from Diamond Street to Apalachee Parkway is at 90%, and right-of-way acquisition is ongoing.
Capital Circle Southwest (Blueprint Project/FDOT Primarily Funded and Managed): The Capital Circle Southwest road-widening project, representing more than $220 million of investment by FDOT and Blueprint in the SAP area, will transform transportation in southwest Leon County, and complete the widening of Capital Circle. The first segment, from Orange Avenue to Springhill Road, is under construction. The second segment, from Springhill Road to Crawfordville Highway, is fully funded in FDOT’s five-year work program. Capital Circle Southwest was the #1 priority Blueprint 2020 project. The nearly 6-mile project will also provide a multiuse path, a major component of the Capital Circle Southwest Greenway project from the Tallahassee-Leon County Greenways Master Plan, as well as a sidewalk and bike lanes, connecting to the St. Marks Trail and other existing multimodal facilities.
Ridge Road Multifamily: The Ridge Road Multifamily project is a residential development under construction on 31.68 acres along Ridge Road, west of the intersection of Crawfordville Highway. The project will provide an estimated 250 units of affordable/inclusionary housing and new pedestrian facilities along the frontage. The Ridge Road Multifamily project has an estimated development cost of at least $55,000,000, primarily funded by the Leon County Housing Finance Authority, and is anticipated to be completed in late 2024.
Orange Avenue Redevelopment Project (Columbia Gardens at South City): The Columbia Gardens is a multifamily affordable housing redevelopment project located on Orange Avenue at the intersection with Country Club Drive. This public-private partnership utilizes 10 different funding sources, including funding from Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, Freddie Mac, Florida Housing Finance Corporation, Leon County, the City of Tallahassee, the Community Redevelopment Agency, the National Housing Trust Fund, and the Tallahassee Housing Authority, to provide hundreds of new affordable housing units. This project currently represents known investments of over $82 million with over 250 affordable housing units being completed by this summer. More details on this project can be found in Attachment #3. This project includes a direct investment from Leon County of over $5.7 million.
Beautification and Improvements to the Fairgrounds Project (Blueprint Project): The Beautification and Improvements to the Fairgrounds project is another important Blueprint project for the Southside Community. This project has the potential to become a major hub for the SAP area and leverage additional future investment. At the February 29, 2024 Blueprint Intergovernmental Agency Board of Directors (IA Board) meeting, the IA Board accepted Phase 1 of the Fairgrounds Master Plan and directed Blueprint staff to initiate design of the Phase 1 improvements utilizing the funding currently allocated to the project. The project is programmed to be fully funded at $30 million by FY 2026. This funding would be used to construct the recommended Blueprint investments (Master Plan’s Phase 1 improvements) beginning in 2026.
Southern Triangle Water and Sewer Expansion (City Project): The City has initiated the Southern Triangle Water and Sewer Expansion effort to extend water and sewer utility infrastructure into the Southern Triangle, including unincorporated areas of Leon County; and to amend the Water and Sewer FY 2023 Capital Improvement Plans to provide initial planning and design funding for the project. The Figure 3 map, below, shows the project area.
Figure 3. Map of Southern Triangle Project Expansion Area
As provided in the Board’s February 20, 2024 Status Report, the conceptual design for this project began in 2022 and will be completed this year. This phase will be followed by acquisition of easements and rights-of-way, which will take approximately two years (through 2026). As the needed easements and rights-of-way are obtained, construction will begin and take approximately three years (through 2029) for full completion. There are currently 203 properties within the Southern Triangle for which central sewer service is not currently available, and approximately 156 properties that do not have existing City water infrastructure within 100 feet of the properties. Once the project is completed, all residents and properties within the Southern Triangle will have access to the City’s central water and sewer system. A preliminary cost estimate to provide the services described in this item is approximately $20 million. Once complete, all residents and properties within the Southern Triangle will have access to the central water and sewer system.
Beyond the Southern Triangle, the City has also prioritized necessary sewer infrastructure improvements in preparation to accept new sewer customers from the County’s septic-to-sewer expansion projects, as the construction of those projects are completed and readied to be turned over to the City for operation. Sewer system infrastructure improvements identified in the City’s 2040 Master Sewer Plan include upgrades that will double the city’s sewer capacity and redundancy in the Southern Leon County area to both increase sewer performance and accommodate new flows from the County’s septic-to-sewer projects in the Lake Munson and Woodville Target Areas in southern Leon County, outside the SAP area.
Tallahassee International Airport Passenger Processing Facility (City of Tallahassee): The $28 million investment for the Tallahassee International Airport International Processing Facility is anticipated to create more than 1,600 jobs and generate over $300 million annually in economic impact. This investment includes a total of $14.1 million in annual allocations from Blueprint sales tax revenues. This project broke ground in Summer 2022 and represents a major milestone towards TLH becoming designated as a Foreign Trade Zone, which will further stimulate and expand trade to and from Tallahassee.
In November 2023, as directed by the Board, the County provided a letter in support of the City’s application for a foreign trade zone designation at the Tallahassee Airport. The City’s formal application was subsequently submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zone Board and is now pending approval. The City anticipates its FTZ application will be approved concurrent with the completion of the International Processing Facility in 2025.
StarMetro Southside Transit Center (City of Tallahassee): The City of Tallahassee broke ground on the Southside Transit Center in April 2024. This project will provide a new bus transit center servicing the southside of Tallahassee to include 29,373 square feet of vehicular use areas for the bus bays, drive aisles, and employee/visitor parking, a 625 square foot maintenance building and a 9,164 square foot 2-story main building. The Blueprint Orange-Meridian Placemaking project provides $1 million to this project and the City has secured over $16 million in Federal and State funding to support this project, which has an estimated investment value of $18,510,000.
Orange Avenue Redevelopment Project (Columbia Gardens at South City): The Columbia Gardens is a multifamily affordable housing redevelopment project located on Orange Avenue at the intersection with Country Club Drive. This public-private partnership utilizes 10 different funding sources, including funding from Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, Freddie Mac, Florida Housing Finance Corporation, Leon County, the City of Tallahassee, the Community Redevelopment Agency, the National Housing Trust Fund, and the Tallahassee Housing Authority, to provide hundreds of new affordable housing units. This project currently represents known investments of over $82 million with over 250 affordable housing units being completed by this summer. More details on this project can be found in Attachment #3. This project includes a direct investment from Leon County of over $5.7 million.
Other Major Ongoing and Proposed Developments
There are currently 27 Major Ongoing and Proposed Development projects underway, or completed in the last five years, within the SAP area. These “major” developments are projects 10,000 square feet or greater for commercial development and 20 units or greater for residential development. This data is tracked by OEV. Of these major developments, there are four additional projects with known investment estimates which are not captured in previous sections of this item. These developments, shown in Table 4, reflect an estimated $124 million investment that includes private investment. The total additional investment for the remaining major developments being tracked by OEV is unavailable because they are private development projects, but can reasonably be assumed to total millions of dollars of additional private investment in the SAP area.

North Florida Innovation Labs and Danfoss Turbocor Expansion Phase III: Two additional major projects nearing completion are located adjacent to each other in Innovation Park. The North Florida Innovation Labs project is a state-of-the-art 40,000-square-foot business incubator that will include over 30 wet and dry labs, a tissue and bio-culture room, prototype development and fabrication spaces, over 30 offices and multiple co-working spaces and conference rooms. The Labs will sustain over 600 full-time, high-quality jobs in the region and support over 100 growing, early-stage companies. The Tallahassee-Leon County Office of Economic Vitality contributed $2.5 million to the total investment of $20 million for this project. The most recent Danfoss Turbocor expansion is a 134,000-square-foot manufacturing facility that will create or retain over 500 permanent jobs. The total economic impact of the project including the long-term job growth, is calculated to be over $140 million.
Jackson Forest Apartments: This major project entails the construction of 105 affordable/inclusionary housing units on Jackson Bluff Road, east of Mabry Street, limited to residents making no more than 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). The property will feature a playground, picnic pavilion, splash pad, community bike storage, community room, and resident programs.
South Monroe “SoMo” Walls: This commercial project, slated to open in 2024, represents an investment of nearly $11 million on the South Monroe corridor within the SAP boundary. This project will develop two buildings consisting of 30,587 square feet of indoor and outdoor commercial space, including restaurant and retail options with rotating walls of artistic expression for the customer to enjoy. The Tallahassee-Leon County Office of Economic Vitality will contribute a total of $1,759,289 to this project, which includes a $1 million recoverable grant. This project is anticipated to lead to an estimated $17.8 million in increased economic impact, $5.2 million of which would be a permanent impact due to sales and revenue to local restaurants and retail establishments employing approximately 50 people.
Update on Annexations in the Southside
One of the FY2022-FY2026 Leon County Strategic Plan Priorities is to: Exercise responsible stewardship of County resources, sound financial management, and ensure that the provision of services and community enhancements are done in a fair and equitable manner (G5). A Strategic Initiative to achieve this goal is to: Continue to support updates to the Comprehensive Plan that encourage annexation of southside properties within the Urban Services Area (2022-41).
Since 2019, there have been five annexations within, or in close proximity to, the SAP boundary, totaling approximately 541.43 acres. These properties represent a maximum development potential of over 10,000 residential units. Having these properties within the City limits and Urban Services area will ensure that future developments are connected to urban services. Figure 4 depicts these locations on the map and Table 5 provides more detail. All of these annexations are within the Urban Services Area, in furtherance of the goals of the Leon County Strategic Plan.

Conclusion:
This item provides a comprehensive status update on the Southside Action Plan with a focus on action projects of the plan. It also provides a review of recent annexations within, or near, the Southside Action Plan boundary, in support of the Leon County FY2022 – 2026 Strategic Plan Strategic Initiative to continue to support updates to the Comprehensive Plan that encourage annexation of southside properties within the Urban Services Area. As highlighted in this item, ongoing projects and those completed in the last five years within the SAP represent more than $1.13 billion of investment into the southside of Leon County and illustrate the region’s commitment to spurring economic development in this important area of our community.
This comprehensive Southside Action Plan status update is the first required annual update since the Board’s adoption of the text amendment to the Southside Action Plan on June 12, 2023. Recently, on February 20, 2024, the Board approved the scheduling of a workshop on the Southside Action Plan to be held on May 28, 2024. The workshop was canceled due to the ongoing response and recovery efforts associated with the recent tornadoes, and the launching of the $1 million microgrant program. Given the cancellation of the workshop, this update provides all of the information that would have been presented in the workshop materials. Further, this item was placed on general business for Board consideration and will be accompanied by a staff presentation from the Planning Department.
Should the Board require additional information following the presentation and its consideration of the Southside Action Plan status update, the Board can provide direction at that time to reschedule the Southside Action Plan workshop (Option #3).
Options:
- Accept the status update on the Southside Action Plan.
- Do not accept the status update on the Southside Action Plan.
- Reschedule the workshop on the Southside Action Plan for Tuesday, September 24, 2024, at 1:30 p.m.
- Board direction.
