Florida Statutes (hereafter "Seller" or "CRA") is soliciting bids for the sale of the
land located at 936 NW 3rd Avenue, Miami, Florida (the "Property"), more
particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof.
Property Profile:
Total Size: Approximately 5,390 s.f. (0.1237 acres, more or less).
Zoning: The Property is presently zoned C-1 Restricted Commercial. This
designation generally allows for higher density residential uses, office
uses, and commercial activities, which serve the daily retailing and

pedestrian and private automobiles. This category is located in areas
directly served by arterial or collector roadways, or directly accessible
via mass transportation system. Minimum lot size is 5,000 square
feet; minimum lot width is 50 feet; maximum floor area ratio is 1.72
times the gross lot area. Off-street parking requirements are
typically one space per 300 square feet of gross floor area.
Access/Frontage:
• The general boundaries of the neighborhood extend North from NW 51h
Street to 281h Street, and west from North Miami Avenue to NW 7th
Avenue. The neighborhood is further intersected by the I-95 and I-395
elevated expressway.
• Northwest 3rd Avenue is a major north -south traffic artery though the
neighborhood, with local retail and commercial stores and shops mixed
with residential use. The newest neighborhood strip shopping center is
located on 3rd Avenue at 15th Street, north of the Property.
• The Property is centrally located in Miami within an older neighborhood,
which is over 90% developed.
o The Property is rectangular in shape with a 54 ft. frontage along NW 3rd
Avenue and is 100 ft. in depth.

O,�tion to Convey Reduced Square Footage:
Seller may choose not to convey a portion of the Property and may choose to deed
the reserved portion to an adjacent property owner. It is estimated that the amount
of property that Seller may choose not to convey will be approximately three and
nine tenths (3.9) feet in width and run the entire length of the northern boundary of
the property (3.9' x 100' = 390 sq. ft.); however, the Seller reserves the right to
increase or decrease this amount. If the Seller exercises the option not to convey a
portion of the property, Seller shall provide a credit to the successful Bidder
(Purchaser) at closing equal to one five thousand three hundred ninetieth (1/5390)
of the Bid price times the square footage not conveyed and the legal description
shall be adjusted accordingly. If the Seller conveys less than 5,000 square feet to
the successful Bidder (Purchaser) the lot will be an illegal nonconforming lot.
Payment in Lieu of Taxes:
The successful Bidder (Purchaser) shall be required to accept a deed restriction,
which shall be binding on the Purchaser, its successors, heirs and assignees. This
restriction shall provide that if the Property, or any portion thereof, is purchased by
an "exempt entity" or is utilized for an exempt purpose, as such terms are defined
under Chapter 196 Florida Statutes the owner of the Property shall pay to the CRA
each year a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT). The yearly PILOT shall be an
amount equal to the sales price, adjusted annually for the consumer price index,
times the City of Miami's then current millage rate. In the event the CRA is no
longer in existence the PILOT shall be paid to the City of Miami and shall be an
amount equal to the taxes the City of Miami would have received had the property
not been exempt from taxation.
General Information:
The Property is being offered for sale "as is" "where is". No representations or
warranties of any kind or nature are made as to the Property's condition, or its
allowable occupancy or use. The property is being conveyed by quitclaim deed.

Subsurface Assessment Report of the Property. Some evidence of contamination
was found. You may review this report at 300 Biscayne Boulevard Way, Suite 309,
Miami, Florida 33131. You may also purchase a copy of this report by sending a
check in the amount of $12.00 made payable to the "Southeast Overtown/Park West
Community Redevelopment Agency" and mailed to above address. The Seller does
not warrant or guarantee the content of this report.
Bidders shall be permitted to inspect the Property. In connection with such
inspection, there shall be no soil tests or other invasive tests, which can or may
cause damage to the Property unless the Bidder has received the Seller's prior
written approval for such tests. Bidders must furnish the Seller a copy of all test
results. All such entries upon the Property shall be at the risk of Bidder and the
Seller shall have no liability for any injuries sustained by Bidder or any of Bidder's
agents or contractors. Upon completion of Bidder's investigations and tests, Bidder
agrees to promptly repair any damage to the Property caused by Bidder, its agents
