<br />Community Redevelopment Agency <br />March 13.2009 Workshop <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br />of the CRA. A general discussion ensued regarding extending the term of the CRA beyond the 2015 sunset <br /> <br />date and updating the City's CRA master plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise announced that Commissioner Solomon was elected as Vice Chairman of the <br /> <br />Seminole County RPA for the 17-92 corridor. <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise said a copy of the staff report that was presented to the Planning and Zoning <br /> <br />Commission outlining the background on the new zonings was distributed to the Board members (a copy is <br /> <br />on file in the Community Development Department). He said the CRA needs to move forward with the <br /> <br />Redevelopment Plan and to work with the Seminole County RPA. He said that Altamonte Springs is <br /> <br />working on their Transportation Oriented Development (TOD). Mr. Paradise said that the City had <br /> <br />discussions with Altamonte Springs to extend the TOD to the intersection of US Highway 17-92 and State <br /> <br />Road 436. He said that could provide the same standards with Altamonte Springs along State Road 436 as <br /> <br />the City is doing with Seminole County along the US Highway 17-92 corridor. <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise distributed and reviewed a list of available properties located in the Community <br /> <br />Redevelopment District (CRD) (a copy is attached and made a part of the minutes). A general discussion <br /> <br />ensued regarding the status of the Black's Automotive site, the Mason Lodge, and the Target outparcels. <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise explained the eminent domain criteria for public purposes. <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise said there is currently a bid out for continuing planning services. He said this will <br /> <br />allow the City to utilize planning firms on an hourly basis and it would eliminate the need to bid individual <br /> <br />projects. He said updating the Redevelopment Plan and the Design Standards is needed. <br /> <br />A general discussion ensued regarding the transportation grid analysis. Mr. Daigle requested <br /> <br />specific information regarding the parcels that were included in the handout distributed at the meeting. A <br /> <br />general discussion ensued regarding the purchase of 110 Quail Pond. Mr. Paradise distributed and <br /> <br />reviewed the CRD with the Town Center District Overlay and a map showing the new zoning districts in the <br /> <br />CRD (a copy is attached and made a part of the minutes). <br /> <br />A general discussion ensued regarding the status of the Barnhill and the Bank of America site. In <br /> <br />response to the Board's question, Mr. Paradise said that the City received a letter from Century Retail <br />
