summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
The City’s Office of Housing and Urban Improvement (OHUI) requested the CRA convey ownership of the CRA’s property located at 801 NW 18th Ave. (folio 484234040580) & 801 NW 18th Ave. (rear) (folio 484234040590) and 785 NW 18th Ave. (folio 84234040601) to the City for the construction of affordable housing. One of the lots is a replacement lot for 1860 NW 8th Street that was conveyed to the CRA March 2023, instead of to the City, as a result of the City’s foreclosure case for municipal liens of approximately $3.7 million. In 2025 OHUI constructed and sold four (4) single-family homes for income restricted buyers directly north of the CRA lots and has no remaining vacant lots to build new homes on for income restricted buyers.
Although Florida Statutes do not require intergovernmental transfers be advertised, in order to be transparent, a 30-day notice was advertised in Sun Sentinel on January 30, 2026, inviting additional proposals from developers or persons interested in undertaking the development of the property as affordable housing. Three (3) unsolicited proposals were received in response to the notice.
Should the CRA Board choose to accept an unsolicited proposal staff recommends conveyance of 785 NW 18th Avenue to the City to be developed as affordable single-family home and acceptance of an unsolicited proposal from Parrish and Associates, LLC for the front and rear lots at 801 NW 18th Avenue to be unified as one buildable site to be developed as affordable housing for their prequalified buyer. Alternatively, staff recommends conveyance of all 3 parcels to the City.
