[6.a TR14431 - A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, making findings and designating approximately 276 acres of real property generally located at 4600 Woodlands Boulevard, Tamarac, Florida, and identified by Broward County property identification numbers 494114070010, 494114070012, 494114010021, and 494114111260, as a brownfield area pursuant to Section 376.80(2)(C), Florida Statutes, to be known as the “Woodlands Club Green Reuse Area,” for purposes of environmental rehabilitation and economic redevelopment; making findings that the requirements of Section 376.80(2)(C), Florida Statutes, have been satisfied; identifying Woodlands Club Holdings, LLLP as the person responsible for brownfield site rehabilitation, subject to applicable state and county requirements; authorizing the city manager, or designee, to notify the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Broward County of the designation; providing that the designation does not modify or create development rights; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date.]

IF NOT, UM, IT'S JUST A, UM, GREEN REUSE BROWNFIELD DESIGNATION FOR THE WOODLANDS DEVELOPMENT.

THEY'RE REQUESTING IT, THERE'S FIVE CRITERIA TO DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE.

UM, THE CITY IS, UM, HOW BRIEF IS YOUR PRESENTATION? CAN WE TAKE A LOOK? SURE.

OKAY.

AND I'LL GO THROUGH IT FAST.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, JUST LET ME KNOW.

SO, AS YOU GUYS ARE AWARE THAT THERE'S A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE WOODLANDS UM, COMMUNITY, IT'S A 335 SINGLE FAMILY RE, UH, UNIT DEVELOPMENT 276 ACRES.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A DESIGNATION FOR BROWNFIELD FOR THE CONTAMINATION CLEANUP.

UM, THERE'S INCENTIVES INVOLVED.

UM, THE BROWNFIELD, UM, IS A, IT THE BY DEFINITION, IT'S A, UM, A SITE THAT'S CONTAMINATED WITH, UM, UH, CHEMICALS THAT MAY BE ABOVE ACCEPTABLE, UM, LEVELS.

THE STATUTE 3 76 80 GOVERNS THE BROWNFIELD REDEVELOPMENT PROCESS.

UM, THAT'S PROCESS, UM, REQUIRES THAT, UM, THE CITY COMMISSION

[00:05:01]

SO THE FIVE CRITERIA THAT I HAD INDICATED THAT EVALUATES COMPLIANCE FOR, UM, DESIGNATING IN THE BROWNFIELD AREA IS THAT THE DEVELOPER AGREES TO REHABILITATE AND REDEVELOP THE SITE, THE REDEVELOPMENT BRUCE ECONOMY AND PRODUCTIVITY, AND PROVIDES AT LEAST FIVE PERMANENT FULL-TIME POSITIONS OR, UM, PROVIDES AFFORDABLE HOUSING, RECREATION CONSERVATION OR PARKS.

THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENTS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE NOTICES, UM, PROVIDED TO RESIDENTS AND THE APPLICANT, UM, HAS FINANCIAL BACKING TO DEVELOP THE PROJECT.

SO THAT FIRST CRITERIA AS INDICATED, DEMONSTRATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATUTE SECTION.

UM, WOODLAND'S CLUB HOLDINGS, LLP, THEY REQUESTED TO DESIGNATE THE AREA AS A BROWNFIELD.

THEY CURRENTLY HAVE THE, UH, A LICENSE FOR REMEDIATION WITH BROWARD COUNTY.

AND THEN THEY'RE JUST LOOKING TO GET THIS DESIGNATION, WHICH HAS FURTHER OVERSIGHT WITH THE FDP AND THEY INTEND TO DEVELOP THE 335 UNITS.

THE ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT THEY INDICATED IS THAT THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD CONTRIBUTE ABOUT $200 MILLION TO THE COMMUNITY, UM, OVER A SPEND.

AND THEN THEY'RE GONNA PROVIDE ABOUT 24.5 FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT JOBS ONCE THE CONSTRUCTION IS OVER.

UM, THERE'S ALSO PARKS AND RECREATIONAL AREA PROVIDED THROUGHOUT THAT SITE, AS I INDICATED IN THAT EXEMPTION PROVISION IN THE STATUTE.

AND THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO BE PROVIDING SOME CONSERVATION EASEMENTS FOR BURING OWLS.

UM, THE THIRD REDEVELOPMENT CRITERIA REVIEW CRITERIA IS THAT IT'S CONSISTENT WITH FUTURE LAND USE POLICIES IS INDICATED, UM, UH, IN THE COMP PLAN DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 'CAUSE IT HAS THOSE REGULATIONS.

AND THEN THE, IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USES OF RESIDENTIAL ESTATE AND LAND USE OF THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL ZONED AREAS.

PUBLIC NOTICE WAS PROVIDED TO 2,143 RESIDENTS AND A 400 FOOT PLUS RADIUS.

SO IT WENT TO THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER.

UM, AND THEN SOME.

AND THEN IT WAS POSTED ON THROUGHOUT THE PERIMETER OF THE PROPERTY AND THEN ALSO INTERNALLY TO THE PROPERTY.

IT WAS ALSO A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING THAT WAS DONE AS WELL.

IT WAS ALSO POSTED ON THE CLARKS BULLETIN BOARD CITY WEBPAGE, AND IT'S IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY CODES, UM, ADVERTISEMENT REQUIREMENTS.

THE DEVELOPER HAS INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE FINANCIALLY FINANCIAL BACKING TO DEVELOP THE PROJECT.

THEY HAVE OVER $200 MILLION IN EQUITY.

AND THEN THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE CONSTRUCTED OVER 4,000 HOMES THAT HAVE A REAL PROPERTY VALUE OF OVER $1.5 BILLION.

SO THEY HAVE THE EXPERIENCE IN DEVELOPING THESE PROPERTIES.

SO IN CONCLUSION, THE APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION, UM, IS FOR AGREEING REUSE DESIGNATION.

IT DOES NOT AMEND OR SUPERSEDE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, DOES NOT WAIVE ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING REQUIREMENTS.

THERE'S NO FINANCIAL OBLIGATION.

UM, IF APPROVED, THE CITY WILL NOTIFY FDP WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE RESOLUTION.

THE APPLICANT WOULD NEGOTIATE THE BROWNFIELD REHABILITATION AGREEMENT WITH FDP IN BROWARD COUNTY.

AND THEN THERE'S A COMPONENT WITHIN THE STATUTE THAT THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE TO ORGANIZE A COMMITTEE TO OVERSEE THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE GREEN REUSE BROWNFIELD AREA.

THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU, KENT.

AND WHAT'S THE TIMEFRAME FOR THIS, UM, REMEDIATION EFFORT? THEY HAD INDICATED THAT OVER THE NEXT TWO TO THREE YEARS, THEY'RE GONNA BE DOING THAT INCONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT.

SO THIS CONTINUES AS THE DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES? YES.

UM, THEY, THEY'RE, UM, THEY'RE HAPPENING ALL AT THE SAME TIME? YES.

OKAY.

UM, UM, WELL THAT'S THE, UH, THE LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA.

AND, AND SO, UM, ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? ALRIGHT, THAT CONCLUDES OUR REVIEW.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
