The first step in the process of creating a Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is to adopt a "finding of necessity" which includes a blight study and a delineation of the CRA boundaries. In attempting to determine the properties to include in the CRA, 11 look to the purpose of a CRA and to the criteria for blight as defined in the Florida Statutes. I also look to the recommendations of the 2007 Redevelopment Plan and the 20019 oning Report, This is as much an art as it is a science. There is no right or wrong. No fiscal impacts to City of including properties in CRA. More property rather than less with uindedi:ng the bounid�aries must pass muster with the Brevard County Commission. We want to incl'ude the entire length of Al:A so that a unlified streetscape plan can be executed the length of Al A. Include properties along Central Blvd. that would be appropriate for a town center development and other properties that would be ?.ppropriate for mixed use development. We want to be able to support the inclusion of tach property in the CRA. Vail-Tes, IF Preserve tax base and increase ta� revenue. Encourage growth, rehabilitation and redevelopment, Encourage redevelopment by private sector. Slum and Blgiht per Florida Statutes, In order to establish a CRA there must be a finding of slum or blighted' conditions as defined by Florida Statutes. I do not bel�ieve we have areas that quialify as slum, bull several criteria for blight apply to properties in our City.
