Purpose of Item:
Background Information:
Pursuant to Resolution No. 05-0228, adopted April 14, 2005, the City Commission approved the conveyance, with title
reverter provisions, of nine (9) vacant parcels of land to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami, Inc. ("Habitat"), for the
development of affordable housing for eligible low income and moderate income persons.
On June 15, 2006, the City of Miami ("City") transferred such properties to Habitat requiring that construction commence by
June 15, 2007, and be completed by December 15, 2008.
Habitat is requesting an extension of the deadline to commence construction on the properties located at 7830 Northwest
Miami Place, 7818 Northwest Miami Place and 6950 Northwest ten Avenue, Miami, Florida (the "Properties"), from June 15,
2007 to December 31, 2007, because Habitat is changing the utilization of the properties from single family to multi -family
and it will take additional time to secure building permits for an increase in the number of housing units.
It is in the best interest of the City to allow for the maximum number of housing units for the Properties under current zoning
regulations.
The Administration recommends: (1) granting to Habitat an extension of time, until December 31, 2007, to commence
construction on the sites located at 7830 Northwest Miami Place, 7818 Northwest Miami Place and 6950 Northwest 4u'
Avenue, Miami, Florida, and (2) authorizing the construction of multifamily homes on the Properties, with a minimum of two
houses per lot.
