Background of the CRA District Creation (Beach)

The City of Pompano Beach is in the process of developing a Community Redevelopment Plan for the East Pompano Beach Redevelopment Area. The Redevelopment Plan will address an area 158 acres in size that generally encompasses the Atlantic Boulevard commercial business corridor from 18th Avenue to the Beach (see attached map). The redevelopment area also includes the beach and related parking facilities.

In September 2000, the City of Pompano Beach conducted a detailed study which established the redevelopment areas boundaries. Commonly referred to as a "Finding of Necessity Study", the study is a prerequisite required under State Statute Chapter 163, Part III, and must reach certain conclusions concerning the condition within the proposed redevelopment area. Chapter 163 is the State Legislation, which governs the activities of Community Redevelopment Agencies in the State of Florida.

In developing the Finding of Necessity Study, it was necessary to review factors such as traffic and street layout, parking availability, how property and existing development is configured, the physical condition of building, roads and other infrastructure improvements within the study area, occupancy and vacancy rates, crime rates, property tax values and housing opportunities. These and other factors were surveyed and analyzed and based on the State and County review criteria, the 158 acre area was deemed to qualify as a redevelopment area.

In July of 2001, the Broward County Commission approved the Finding of Necessity report and the City was authorized to undertake activities to further implement the redevelopment initiative. Most importantly the County Resolution acknowledges that the conditions within the area warranted the creation and development of a Community Redevelopment Plan. The County is also requiring that an agreement of  understanding be developed addressing issues concerning not expanding the approved area, utilizing tax increment revenues only in accordance with the redevelopment plan and providing a financial plan that identifies and assures that firm financial commitments are in place for any project identified in the redevelopment plan.

The City has hired a consulting team consisting of Keith and Schnars P.A., Civic Design, and Miami Economic Associates to prepare the redevelopment plan under a project schedule that will culminate with adoption of the plan in December 2001.
