at 0:24Let's move right into M1, motion approving the minutes for May 19, 2026, Community Redevelopment Agency Board Meeting.
at 0:45M2, motion approving property and business improvement program funding in the amount of $193,500 to Queen Progress Investments for the build-out of the warehouse space for retail use at 603 Northeast 13th Street.
at 8:38And I see Ben Rogers and Milos Mastorovic coming forward, but I think what we would need is consensus from the commission to take one of those approaches.
at 24:48On tonight's agenda, you will notice in the budget amendment, there is an item related to the radio communications project, which we feel is the city's best opportunity to try to mitigate this issue.
at 13:44And whereas, landscape architects, plan and design, community master plans, walkable neighborhoods, multi-mobile transportation networks, green stormwater infrastructure, and accessible public space, including plazas, parks, schools, residential common areas, playgrounds, and trails that include active lifestyles and healthy living for Fort Lauderdale neighbors and visitors.
at 14:31And whereas, the city of Fort Lauderdale commends Florida International University and the University of Florida for their incredible landscape architecture programs, which inspire and prepares the next generation of leaders and innovators to advance the profession and contribute to the future of the city's landscape.
at 42:52And it's a tough it's tough because the amount of income that you receive on that is going to is and the and the cost of construction, it creates a very narrow gap of opportunity there where there's not a lot of incentive for developer to go in there, especially if it's going to be, you know, a forever requirement as opposed to a 10 year requirement or 20 year requirement.
at 43:24You know, we're trying to we're we definitely would love to see more new construction that allows for a lower income housing that gives people a hand up trying to get their, you know, college kids who come out of college and want to come back to Fort Lauderdale.
at 12:20I think it's a benefit because having represented a lot of prospective commercial tenants and, you know, they signed leases saying, and this has to be used for a specific purpose.
at 12:39So to now give them an opportunity to say to a landlord, hey, I need to get a certificate of use before you can charge me $1 of rent to make sure that the use that you said I can do can actually be done there is a benefit to a tenant.
at 1:47M1 is now approved, R1, Resolution Approving of Modifications to the Central City Community Redevelopment Area Residential Facade and Landscaping Incentive Program, and renaming it to the Residential Enhancement Program.
at 9:19If the need is so great and continuous, why do we have to keep renewing its existence if really what you've explained to us now is something far greater than we originally anticipated this board was supposed to do?
at 4:51:11I think that a lot of the, and I talked with the city manager about this, and I think there are areas in which we can significantly reduce the scale and the scope of some of the floor areas to the point where maybe we can bring it down to 250,000 square feet.
at 4:52:10These are opportunities for us to be able to reduce the size of the project without having to compromise the design or compromise the integrity of all the other features of safety and lead status and breathability and all the other things that we've been told about tonight.
at 2:23:23I'm thinking that this would be proactive because we're going to have our neighbors who are now considering and applying to do this fill to elevate their properties.
at 2:23:32So with that, this would be getting in front of that opportunity with the new fences going up that we'll be unified and ready to, more ready to answer the code with that instead of being where we are right now.
