summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
The City Commission approved the conveyance of twenty six (26) vacant infill lots to the Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (“CRA”) with Resolution 2002-173 on April 23, 2002 with the restriction they be developed as a residence for affordable housing or ownership would revert back to the City of Pompano Beach. Two (2) of the lots located in the NW CRA district north of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard at NW 6th Avenue and NW 4th Street remain undeveloped. Resolution 2002-173 and the deed conveying ownership are included in the agenda backup.
Folio 484235240040, also known as 409 NW 6th Avenue, is a 7,082 square foot vacant lot zoned Transit Oriented (TO) within the Downtown Pompano Overlay District (DPOD) adjacent to four (4) other vacant lots owned by the CRA. The CRA has always contemplated townhomes be developed along the west side of NW 6th Avenue on these properties to buffer the single family home neighborhood to the west from larger residential and mixed-use projects which will be developed in the eastern area of the DPOD. The City gained title to this parcel in 2000 as a result of Case No. CE 00-006179 prior to conveying the property to the CRA.
Folio 484235190190, also known as 424 NW 4th Court, is a 3,937 square foot vacant lot zoned Transit Oriented (TO) within the Downtown Pompano Overlay District (DPOD). The City gained title to this property from Broward County in 2001 as “escheat” property for unpaid taxes. This parcel is one (1) of twenty three (23) CRA-owned parcels in a 2.8 acre assembled site. On August 19, 2021 the CRA issued Request for Proposals T-31-21 “Residential Development on N.W. 6th Avenue” for multi-family residential development of the assemblage.
Because these two lots will be incorporated into a larger multi-family residential development, rather than single family infill lots, which was the intent in 2002 when the properties were conveyed from the City to the CRA, the CRA is requesting the City remove the restriction requiring these two parcels be developed as only a residence for affordable housing.
An aerial showing CRA-owned property in red and City-owned property in blue with these two lots outlined in green is included as Exhibit 1 of Real Property Manager Memo 21-034.
