Title
OFF-SITE PARKING AGREEMENT FOR 324 NE 3rd AVENUE
Body
Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Consideration of an off-site parking agreement associated with the property located at 324 NE 3rd Avenue.
Body
Background:
The building located at 324 NE 3rd Avenue was approved in 2017 and recently constructed.

The agreements, which were approved by the City Commission on December 11, 2017, accommodated three of the parking spaces at 325 NE 3rd Avenue and 16 of the parking spaces at 381 NE 3rd Avenue (Bedner’s Farm Fresh Market).
