HEADER Date: To: Honorable Chairperson Joe A. Martinez and Members Board of County Commissioners From: George M. Burgess County Manager Subject: Resolution Declaring Certain Geographic Areas of the City of Miami to be a Slum and Blighted Area and Finding of Need for Creation of a Community Redevelopment Agency MANAGER'S BACKGROUND It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), approve the accompanying resolution, declaring a certain geographic area of the City of Miami, Florida generally described as bounded by NE 36th Street on the north, NE 2nd Avenue on the east, NE 29th Street onthe south and http://www.co.miami-dade. fl.us/govaction/matter. asp?matter=050232&file=true&yearFold... 4/25/2005 Legislative Matter Page 4 of ;5 North Miami Avenue on the west to be a slum and blighted area, pursuant to Chapter 1(53, Part III, Florida Statutes. Such area is referred to as the Mid -Town Miami Redevelopment Area (the Redevelopment Area). It is also recommended that the BCC delegate certain redevelopment powers to the City of Miami, so that the City may take the appropriate measures to create a Community Redevelopment Agency for the sole purpose of preparing a Redevelopment Plan. BODY In 1969, the Florida Legislature enacted the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969, as it is presently contained in Part III, Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, as amended (the Act). The Act authorized counties and municipalities in the State of Florida to create community redevelopment agencies and to prepare community redevelopment plans, with which community redevelopment projects may be undertaken to eliminate and prevent the development and spread of slum or blighted areas, through the use of creative financing mechanisms. In order to implement the Act, the County must adopt a resolution finding that: 1. An area within the municipal boundaries of the City to be a slum or blighted area, and 2. That rehabilitation, conservation, or redevelopment, or a combination thereof, of the Redevelopment Area is necessary in the interest of the public health, safety, morals or welfare of the residents of the County. The City of Miami Commission recently adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to conduct a "Finding of Necessity Study" for the creation of a Community Redevelopment Agency. On April 27, 2004 the BCC approved Resolution R-496-of, authorizing an interlocal agreement between the County, the City and the Midtown Miami Community Development District (CDD). The agreement provided for Economic Development Payments (EIP) to further the development of the proposed redevelopment area by securing financial contributions to the CDD from the City and the County to defray the cost of parking infrastructure and a public plaza. The interlocal agreement stated that the City and the County desire to establish a Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and trust fund, prior to June 30, 2005, in order to use such agency's tax increment financing revenues to replace the obligation of the two parties' EIP payments. A Finding of Necessity (FON) Report (Exhibit "A") examined the conditions in the proposed Redevelopment Area and concluded that blight, as defined in the Act exists based on the following factors: 1. Predominance of defective or inadequate street layouts, transportation and parking facilities 2. Unsanitary and unsafe conditions The Miami -Dade County Tax Increment Financing and Coordinating Committee (TIFCC) have reviewed the report and support its conclusions. The City cannot proceed with the redevelopment of the proposed Redevelopment Area unless the Board delegates certain redevelopment powers to the City. At its request and in order to assist the City in its redevelopment efforts, it is recommended that the City be delegated the power to declare the need for and create a Community Redevelopment Agency for the sole purpose of preparing and adopting a Redevelopment Plan subject to the subsequent review and approval of the City's Planning Advisory Board and the Board. All powers not specifically delegated to the City are reserved exclusively for the Board„ Any delegations of additional powers beyond the preparation of the Community Redevelopment Plan will be determined through the review of the redevelopment plan and further action by the BCC in considering implementation of community redevelopment activities. Approval by the Board of the Mid -Town Miami Redevelopment Area and the creation of a Community Redevelopment Agency with certain redevelopment powers does not necessarily lead to the establishment of the Tax Increment Financing Dist. A viable redevelopment plan is a prerequisite for such action. httpi/www.co.miami-dade.fl.us/govaction/rnatter,asp?matter=050232&file=true&yearFold... 4/25/2005 Legislative Matter Page 5 of 5 Tony E.
