Recommendation
Approve Resolution No. 2026-06 and the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Delray Community Missionary Baptist Church for the purchase of a portion of the property located at 94 SW 5th Avenue for a purchase price of $265,000, in a form acceptable to CRA Legal Counsel, and authorize the CRA Board Chair to execute the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and any related documents, in a form acceptable to the CRA Legal Counsel.
Body
Background:
The 94 SW 5th Avenue (Subject Property) is a remnant alley and is a portion of the Subject Property located at 94 SW 5th Avenue, within the Southwest Neighborhood (CRA Sub- Area #8). The Subject Property comprises approximately 4.810 square feet and is currently zoned CBD- Central Business District.
The Subject Property was appraised by Anderson & Carr Inc. and returned a January 12, 2025, market value of $265,000. The acquisition of the Subject Property would provide an opportunity for the CRA to continue to revitalization efforts by eliminating substandard-sized, non-buildable lots. Subsequent to the acquisition, CRA staff would work towards disposing of the alley remnant to abutting property owners to help facilitate the platting of standard/conforming lot sizes. The acquisition is consistent with goals and objectives outlined in the Community Redevelopment Plan as it pertains to land assembly and redevelopment within this portion of The Southwest neighborhood (Sub-Area #8).
At this time, CRA Staff is requesting the CRA Board to approve Resolution No. 2026-06 and the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Delray Community Missionary Baptist Church for the purchase of a portion of the property located at 94 SW 5th Avenue for a purchase price of $265,000, in a form acceptable to CRA Legal Counsel, and authorize the CRA Board Chair to execute the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and any related documents, in a form acceptable to the CRA Legal Counsel.
