Executive Summary: Approval of the request will provide City assistance to rehabilitate the exterior of the subject property and is within the guidelines of the Facade Enhancement Program. Denial of the request will not allow City assistance. Discussion: Richard Oliphant & Associates, are the owners of 74-320 Highway 111, and XLNT Veterinary Care, Inc., is the tenant and applicant responsible for the improvements to Eldorado Animal Hospital. The FEP guidelines allow for standard sized Tots (60-foot frontage, 12,000 square feet) to receive consideration for half the cost of improvements to a maximum of $40,000. Larger properties are eligible for additional funds with City Council approval, which is applicable to this property. The property's total frontage is 100 lineal feet, and it is approximately 13,000 square feet in area. The property also has 100 lineal feet of frontage on the north side along Alessandro Drive. The size of this property makes it eligible for FEP consideration funds to a maximum of $60,000 subject to City Council approval.

The Retail Committee took into consideration the location, size, and scope of the proposed project, and felt that this project merited FEP consideration funding in the eligible amount. Staff concurs with the Retail Committee and recommends funding in the amount of $60,000 from the Facade Enhancement Program.
