Recommendation
Review and consider Resolution No. 114-24; approving a Historic Property Ad Valorem Tax Exemption request for improvements to the contributing structure and property located at 531 N. Swinton Avenue.
Body
Background:
The subject property, which consists of Del-Ida Park, Lot 1 (Less the south 2 Feet), Block 3, is located within the Del-Ida Park Historic District. The property is zoned Single Family Residential (R-1-AA) and contains a contributing Minimal Traditional single-family residence constructed in 1947.
At its meeting of May 5, 2021, the Historic Preservation Board approved the Certificate of Appropriateness (2021-091) request associated with the construction of a one-story, 233 square foot addition and exterior alterations to the rear of an existing, contributing residence on the property.
Based on State of Florida regulations, a Historic Property Ad Valorem Tax Exemption can be approved for a project before, during, or after it has been undertaken. The applicant therefore requests consideration of the Historic Property Ad Valorem Tax Exemption as the project is complete.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(J)(7)(d)(b), upon approval recommendation of the Historic Property Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Application by the HPB, the application shall be placed by resolution on the agenda of the City Commission for approval.
