CRA authorizes submission of amended 2025 Urban Core redevelopment plan to planning board
Summary
The CRA authorized staff to submit the proposed 2025 amended and restated Urban Core Community Redevelopment Plan to the planning board for review; the draft added statutory compliance language, TIF revenue projections and a neighborhood impact element.
The Community Redevelopment Agency authorized staff to submit the proposed 2025 amended and restated Urban Core Community Redevelopment Plan to the planning board for review and written comment under Chapter 163.3604, Florida Statutes.
Consultants from Urban Design Associates described changes to the Urban Core plan that include clarifying the CRA’s statutory role and permissible activities (language provided by CRA legal counsel), adding date-certain expiry language (Urban Core: December 2043), inserting district-specific TIF revenue projections in a new impacts and projections chapter and adding a neighborhood impact element covering relocation effects, traffic circulation, environmental quality, community facilities, school population and social/physical quality. The consultants also recommended adding supportive housing language to affordable housing incentives and ensuring affordable housing fits neighborhood character.
Staff noted cost estimates associated with recommended projects were not included in the packet for legal-review reasons and will be provided before council consideration. The board discussed the planning board’s role — which is to check consistency with the city’s comprehensive plan, not to vet project cost estimates — and authorized submittal. The motion passed unanimously.
Staff said the schedule was accelerated to address anticipated state legislative timing and that an implementation guide included in the packet would be developed further in coordination with the board after adoption.
