FINDING OF NECESSITY
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
MARCH 23, 2015
1. Project Overview—From the original district to the 2012 update the focus was 5th
Ave and 301 due to DOT and the One-Way Pairs.The expansion looks at the
state of residential surrounding the current CRA District. For the downtown and
adjacent commercial properties to be profitable the city must encourage more
and better residential. Staff reviewed all residential surrounding the current
district and narrowed down to the area proposed (Show map)the study area
totals approximately 250.4 acres. Data collection included evaluation and field
review of the study area, inventory of the planning and physical conditions,
including property valuations for the past 5 years also information collected at
CRA Workshop, along with Public Input regarding perception of the City.
2. Existing Conditions- (Map)The expansion area: Less than 40%of the
residential properties received homestead exemptions...Inadequate and
outdated building density patterns, unsanitary or unsafe conditions,faulty lot lay-
out in relation to size, adequacy, or accessibility. Uncontrolled access points,
lack of parking, poor or non-existing drainage, no curb and gutter were observed
in many places or deteriorating curbs and/or street edge. Non-Conformities in
relation to approved zoning are evident within area. Stormwater Management-
developed properties lack adequate stormwater management facilities and are
non-conforming to local and state requirements. Code Violations—Can
significantly negatively impact the perception of the area. Illegal signage,
unauthorized building additions and conditions, outdoor storage without
screening, property maintenance, driveway and parking lot construction.
Temporary signage was of particular note. Predominance of defective or
inadequate street layout, numerous locations where un-approved parking is
occurring or parking facilities are either deteriorating or not maintained altogether.
These instances include parking within or on drainage and stormwater
conveyance and treatment areas, sidewalk and pedestrian ways, as
well as encroachments upon setback or buffer areas. In addition, it was observed
where parking facilities appear to be constructed to temporary standards(i.e.,
gravel, lack of striping, lack of curb)or do not include the necessary(required)
landscape buffers between uses or interior parking lot landscaping. In addition,
several parking areas were noted as lacking parking lot lighting.
3. Property Valuations- From 2010 to 2014 the property value has decreased
double digits except Sub-District 2 had an increase of.13%
