proposed area to be designated represents a reasonable focused approach and is not overly large in geographic coverage; 2. 1. 3. Whether the area has potential to interest the private sector in participating in rehabilitation; 2. 1. 4. Whether the area contains sites or parts of sites suitable for limited recreational open space, cultural, or historical preservation purposes. 2. 2. Staff has evaluated each of the conditions and determined that the site meets the criteria. The area is large enough to be redeveloped by the private sector into a low density single- family residential subdivision, but small enough to maintain a focused vision for the property. It has reasonable potential for economic development activities given that it is currently vacant and has room enough to develop a small park or area for open space in conjunction with single- family residential development. 2. 3. Once the property is designated, the City will enter into a Brownfield Site Rehabilitation Agreement ( BSRA) with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The approved remedial action plan will be prepared and implemented with the goal of ultimately redeveloping the property for its best use. 3. FINANCIAL INFORMATION: 3. 1. The costs associated with this resolution include the costs for advertising the two public hearings, which was approximately $480. DOC ID. 2203 Page I  11. 1 RESOLUTION 2013 - 7 3. 2.

Staff respectfully recommends City Council approval of Resolution 2013 -07 to designate the City -owned property at 203 Bayou Woods Drive NW as a Brownfields area for the purposes of environmental site rehabilitation and economic redevelopment.
