HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
On September 25, 1980 the City Council passed Resolution No. 55-80 for the purpose of creating the Community Redevelopment Agency for the sole purpose of eliminating slum and blight, and for engaging in activities to revitalize the CRA urban core.
On August 14, 1980 the City Council passed Resolution No. 36-80 which specifically placed the 44.45 acres known as Bruce Beach under the authority of the Community Redevelopment Agency, and further set forth a process the CRA shall follow for the disposition of any property within the CRA Urban Core, including Bruce Beach.
The CRA is not a party to the lease between the City of Pensacola and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for the redevelopment of Bruce Beach that was signed on May 12, 2014. Any lease for the use of Bruce Beach must be disposed by following the procedures required of the CRA. Therefore, the matter of redeveloping Bruce Beach should be referred back to the CRA.
