Selection Criteria

• Neighborhood Contribution: Is the neighborhood planning to contribute to the project? This is not required, but it is encouraged and applications that indicate neighborhood contribution through funding, labor, or maintenance may score higher.
• Benefit verses Cost: How does your project benefit the neighborhood?
• Health and Safety: How does your project improve the health and safety of your neighborhood?
• Adopted Citywide Plans: How does your project address goals identified in citywide plans, such as the Comprehensive Plan, Sustainability Plan, Community Resources Master Plan or others?
• Neighborhood Support: Is there neighborhood support for your project? At least five (5) resident signatures with addresses must be included with the application. The more signatures, the stronger the application. If there are affected property owners, their signatures with addresses must also be included.
• Maintenance: What is the maintenance plan for the project? Projects that will not substantially add to the City’s maintenance responsibilities may score higher in this category.
