summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
The Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") entered into a lease with CJOT, Inc. on August 1, 2022 for a 1,400 square foot commercial property located in the southeast corner of the building at 60 NE 1st Avenue with the intent to attract a future tenant that would lend to the mix of uses envisioned for Old Town Arts and Entertainment District.
Staff received an unsolicited proposal from The Melted Bar 7, LLC ("Melted Bar") on January 26, 2023 to sublease 27 NE 1st Avenue ("Premises") from the CRA for the Melted Bar to offer candle making classes and retail sales.
Pursuant to Section 163.380 of the Florida Statues the CRA legally advertised a notice of intent to enter into a sublease agreement in the Sun Sentinel on February 18, 2023, which allowed for interested parties to submit proposals within 30 days after the date of the public notice. Design Kollaborative Architects Planners, Inc., doing business as DK Architects, submitted a proposal to sublease the Premises from the CRA on March 16, 2023.
Staff recommends acceptance of the unsolicited proposal from The Melted Bar 7, LLC as a desired use for Old Town Arts and Entertainment District with evening and weekend hours of operation to activate Old Town and provide an opportunity for a Pompano Beach resident to open a minority-owned business in furtherance of the CRA's goals and objectives.
