Daytona Beach CRA approves donation of four Midtown lots for affordable housing

The Daytona Beach Community Redevelopment Agency on Feb. 19 approved a resolution donating four city-owned lots in the Midtown Community Redevelopment Area to Lomud Corporation, Mid Bridal Housing Partnership, Inc., and John Huger. The board approved the resolution by voice vote after a motion and second; the clerk recorded the outcome as 7-0. The vote followed the meeting’s approval of the minutes from the Jan. 22, 2025, CRA meeting and adoption of the meeting agenda after the city manager asked to pull agenda item 6.b, a Main Street parking study contract, for further coordination with county staff. The city manager told the board the parking-study item—identified in the meeting record as work order number 039 under contract 234KAI with Kelson and Associates—would be removed from the agenda and returned later “if necessary” after the manager meets with county administration. The board then accepted the revised agenda by a 7-0 vote. The resolution on the four lots did not generate discussion at the meeting. After a motion and second, the clerk recorded the ayes and the chair announced the motion carried, 7-0. No timetable for transfer, conditions on the lots, or implementation steps were stated in the meeting record. The resolution’s effective date was referenced in the agenda summary but not specified aloud during the discussion. The CRA meeting then moved into a separate discussion of Beachside cleanup and Main Street priorities; that item was addressed in a separate staff and commissioner discussion and is reported separately.
