HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
In October 2018, the City entered into an option agreement with Studer Properties LLC for the exclusive right to develop and lease all of the vacant parcels at the Community Maritime Park, specifically parcels 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. In March 2020, the option agreement was extended through March 31, 2021.
In October 2020, prior to the expiration of the option agreement with Studer Properties, both parties entered into a partial assignment of the option agreement with Inspired Communities of Florida for parcels 3, 6, 8, and 9. Corresponding partial assignments were also entered into with two other development groups for the remainder of the parcels - Valencia Development Group for parcel 7 and Silver Hills Development for parcels 4 and 5, with the former still in effect and the latter being no longer valid. In March 2021, the City authorized the execution of the first addendum to the partial assignment with Inspired Communities of Florida, extending the agreement through September 30, 2021.
The City and Inspired Communities of Florida seek to extend the term of their partial assignment for another twelve months through September 30, 2022 via this second addendum. This extension will allow time for the parties to continue and complete negotiations regarding a ground lease and development agreement.
