SUMMARY:
The Vince J. Whibbs Sr. Community Maritime Park (CMP) is a 31-acre waterfront park that currently has two unencumbered parcels available for redevelopment. Lot 4 is approximately 3.01 acres and is currently developed as a surface parking lot. Lot 5 is approximately 1.71 acres and is currently developed as a green space with sidewalks. A recent attempt at finalizing the redevelopment of these parcels was unsuccessful.
Pursuant to Florida Statute section 163.380(3)(a), the City is required to provide public notice by advertising for at least 30 days prior to the disposition of any City-owned property in a CRA, stating the intent of the disposition and inviting proposals. At the April 22, 2021 meeting, City Council approved the publication of the legal notice as requested by staff, amending the 30-day minimum period to a 60-day period to receive submittals and including criteria for redevelopment proposals that must further the purposes and objectives to provide a parking garage, affordable housing, and comply with the City’s Covenant with the Community to ensure the inclusion of minority and women owned businesses in the development of the parcels.
Submittals for redevelopment received by the June 30, 2021 deadline are attached for discussion by Council. Also attached are the proof of publication for the public notice and the approving Council action from the April 22, 2021 meeting.
Due to the time constraints posed by the submittal deadline, the relevant statute, and the agenda preparation for the meetings of the City Council, the Mayor is requesting a special meeting to further address these items and provide his recommendation for the ranking of the submittals.

April 22, 2021 - City Council approved the publication of the public notice for disposition of Lots 4 and 5 at the Community Maritime Park for redevelopment.
