It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached Resolution. The proposed Resolution provides for an
expansion of the Little Havana CDBG Target Area.
BACKGROUND
The Department of Community Development, in conjunction with
Planning, Building and Zoning, conducted three (3) neighborhood
meetings (properly 'advertised) in the areas of Flagami, Upper
Eastside and Little Havana to receive input from the area residents
and merchants as to the possible expansion of the CDBG target areas,
or the creation of a new one in the case of Flagami.
Regarding the above -mentioned areas, the only one to receive
overwhelming support from residents and merchants was the proposed
expansion of the Little Havana target area. The proposed area has
experienced decay and decrease in resident income qualifying them as
a Community Development target area. A Community Development target
area designation will enable the area to be eligible for Community
Development Block Grant funds for capital improvements, social
services, economic development and housing programs.
The attached Resolution expands the boundaries of the Little Havana
target area to the North and West as follows:
- Northern Segment Boundary - Miami River to the North and East,
N.W. 7th Street to the South, and N.W. 27th Avenue to the
West.
- Western Segment Boundary - N.W. 7th Street to the North, S.W.
17th Street to the South, N.W. S.W. 27th Avenue to the East,
and N.W./S.W. 37th Avenue to the West.
- Property facing both sides of the street on N.W. 7th Street
and N.W. 27th and 37th avenues (within City limits) to be also
included.
