Summary Explanation/Background
THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT AND THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS MOTION.
On March 11, 2008 (Item No. 2), the Board approved an Interlocal Agreement between Broward County and the City of West Park for conveyance of property from Broward County to the City of West Park for development, improvement and use of the land consistent with the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) eligible activities under the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development rules and regulations. The property had been purchased by the County with CDBG funding. This property consists of 0.56 acres and is located on Pembroke Road and NW 56th Avenue within the City of West Park. The Interlocal Agreement required the development of the site within a ten-year period or the property would revert back to the County. The Interlocal Agreement also provided that, at the request of the City of West Park, the Board may extend the time to develop the property. Beginning in March 2018, meetings were held between County and City representatives wherein the City requested that the Interlocal agreement be extended to provide additional time to develop the site; and the Board approved an amendment extending the time period for development until June 2020. Due to COVID-19 and other issues, the project was not completed by June 2020, but is currently under construction. Therefore, the City is requesting a Second Amendment to Interlocal Agreement extending the completion deadline to June 30, 2021. It is being recommended that the City be provided this extension to complete the project, which consists of a mixed-use development to include retail, restaurant, and office space.
