On November 22, 1977, City Council adopted Resolution 77 -38, finding that an area in the City contained slum and blight conditions, which created the community redevelopment area. 1. 2.

The last update to the CRA Plan was adopted by Ordinance 1747 by City Council on December 11, 2007. 2. DISCUSSION: 2. 1. Because the last version of the CRA Plan was adopted by ordinance, it can only be repealed by ordinance if the Plan is to be updated/replaced. 2. 2. Ordinance 1869 repeals the 2007 CRA Plan and allows the 2012 CRA Plan to be adopted by resolution. A resolution has been drafted to adopt the 2012 CRA Plan. 3. FINANCIAL INFORMATION: 3. 1. Ordinance 1869 has no direct financial impact to the City. 4. RECOMMENDATION: 4. 1. Staff respectfully recommends approval of Ordinance 1869 to repeal Ordinance 1747, which repeals the 2007 CRA Plan.

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT WALTON BEACH, FLORIDA: 1. The City of Fort Walton Beach has the Authority to adopt this ordinance pursuant to its powers provided in Section 2 of the City Charter and Section 166. 021( 1), Florida Statutes, and the provisions of Chapter 163. 2. Pursuant to section 163. 361, of the Florida Statutes ( 2007), on April 21, 2004, the Board of Commissioners of the Fort Walton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency recommended an update to the Community Redevelopment Agency Plan adopted in 1998. 3. Much of the information in the 1998 plan was outdated and many of the recommendations have been implemented or are no longer applicable. 4. The Community Redevelopment Agency felt that a new plan was needed to address 1) current market trends; 2) methods of enhancing existing housing stock and providing the framework for new attainable housing options; 3) the need for architectural standards to upgrade the quality of new buildings; and 4) the need for increased community policing ti programs and facilities to address crime and nuisance abatement issues. c 5. The proposed 2007 Plan is the result of significant research by City Staff and the CRA Board of Commissioners, along with public input gathered through a series of public workshops and meetings. The 2007 Plan includes 0 all elements required by Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, for a community redevelopment plan. E s 6. Pursuant to section 163. 355, of the Florida Statutes ( 2007), the City Council of Fort Walton Beach finds that the conditions of the CRA Area as Q established by the 1998 Plan continue to exist, as described in Section 4 of the 2007 Plan and meet the criteria described in section 163. 340( 7) or ( 8), Florida Statutes ( 2007). 7. There are one or more slum or blighted areas, or one or more areas in which there is a shortage of housing affordable to residents of low or moderate income, including the elderly, in the City of Fort Walton Beach. 8. In Section 6 of the 2007 Plan, Attainable Housing Strategies are discussed. The rehabilitation, conservation, or redevelopment, or a combination thereof, of the CRA Area including the development of housing which residents of low or moderate income, including the elderly, can afford, is necessary in the interest of the public health, safety, morals, or welfare of the residents of the city. 9. Therefore, the City Council of Fort Walton Beach hereby approves and adopts the amended Community Redevelopment Agency Plan dated September 2007, which is attached to this ordinance and includes the appendix. 10. Except to the extent specifically provided and stated in the Plan dated September 2007, the provisions of this ordinance are an update to the authority and provisions of Resolution on No. 77 -38, Ordinance No. 752, which was supplemented and superseded by Ordinance No. 806, Ordinance No. 726, Resolution 96 -14, or Resolution 98 -10. Therefore, if any part of these ordinances conflict, the conflicting provisions shall be reconciled to make the provisions operative in accordance with the City's intent of the establishment of the CRA, its boundaries, the termination date in 2026, and consistent with the provisions of Chapter 163, of the Florida Statutes. 11. This ordinance shall take effect immediately upon approval by the City Council.
