Background Summary: On September 21, 2004 the City Council adopted a resolution finding a certain defined area of the City of Ocoee had conditions of "blight" as that term is defined in the Community Redevelopment Act. The Redevelopment Act states that in a county that has adopted a home rule charter all redevelopment powers are vested in the county. A municipality located within such a county may exercise redevelopment powers under the Act only if the governing body of the county has delegated those powers to the governing body of the city. 9163.400, Florida Statutes. Orange County had adopted a home rule charter. On March 21, 2006 the Orange County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved the CRA Resolution, and an lnterlocal Agreement with the City of Ocoee delegating authority for creating and managing a community redevelopment agency to the City. The City officially created the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) on April 18, 2006. The next step in the CRA process is to adopt a Redevelopment Plan and to direct staff to implement that Plan. On April 25, 2006 the CRA held their first official meeting. At that meeting the CRA reviewed the proposed Redevelopment Plan and directed staff to send the proposed Redevelopment Plan to the local planning agency to be reviewed for consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The City's Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the Plan on May 9, 2006 and found it to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The staff report is attached. The CRA Board is meeting at 6 p.m. on May 16, 2006 to finalize plan approval. The final step in the Plan approval is for the Orange County Board of County Commissioners to approve the plan. It is anticipated that they will take formal action on May 23, 2006. Issue: Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners adopt the Resolution approving a Community Redevelopment Plan and directing staff to implement the Plan? Recommendations $taff recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners adopt the Resolution approving A Community Redevelopment Plan and direct staff to implement the Plan.
