f Ocoee,
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 next steps in the
process of redeveloping that area in accordance with the Act are: (i) create a Community Redevelopment
Agency; (ii) adopt a redevelopment plan; and (iii) create a redevelopment trust fund and provide for the deposit
therein of increment revenues attributed to the redevelopment area.
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 Interlocal Agreement with the City of Ocoee delegating authority for creating and managing a
community redevelopment agency to the City. The attached ordinance officially creates the Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA). The first reading of this ordinance took place on April 4, 2006.
The Agency will be governed by a board made up of the five City Commissioners and two appointed members.
The City has agreed in the Interlocal Agreement to appoint one member to the CRA Board that the Orange
County Board of County Commissioners nominates. A map showing the area of operation of the CRA is
attached.
Once the Ordinance is enacted the next steps will be to adopt a redevelopment plan and to create a
redevelopment trust fund.
