Jade Green, deputy director of the CRA, reviewed recommended transfers for Fund 105 and Fund 107. For Fund 105 she requested $2,290,000 in transfers to address several items: increased administrative expenses tied to policing (including bike-unit officers), an arbitrage rebate payment, and up to $1,000,000 earmarked for 415 Clematis tenant improvements and brokerage/marketing fees (Green said the amount is an allotment and would be used as needed when lease terms are negotiated). Green said the 415 Clematis tenant-improvement allotment is expected to be recouped over time through approved lease agreements once tenants are in place.

Green also asked the board to allocate $750,000 as an initial payment in fiscal year 2025 toward the Hibiscus House preservation project at 213 South Rosemary Avenue, in partnership with Related; Green described the larger preservation project as an estimated $10,000,000-plus effort and said the $750,000 is the first half-payment for this fiscal year with additional budgeting to follow.

For Fund 107, Green said the CRA had already closed a purchase at 5701 Broadway that carried a previously unbudgeted line-of-credit; staff proposed transferring $458,182 to reserves to clear that accounting. After the transfers, Green said Fund 105 reserves would remain higher than originally anticipated due to prior carryforward and TIF payments.

Board members asked process questions and staff clarified that brokerage and tenant-improvement costs for 415 Clematis will be recovered through subsequent lease agreements and that formal lease agreements will return to the board for approval. The resolution passed unanimously.

Action: Resolution 25-23F transfers $2,748,601 from reserves for the purposes described and directs staff to proceed with the accounting and contract work described in the presentation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CRA Meeting | April 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The CRA approved Resolution 25-23F to transfer $2,748,601 from reserves to cover midyear needs including policing expenses, an arbitrage payment, up to $1 million for tenant-improvement/brokerage needs at 415 Clematis, and $750,000 as a first payment toward the Hibiscus House preservation project at 213 S.

Chris Roog, executive director of the West Palm Beach CRA, said the mixed-use project is currently under construction and includes three buildings with a total of 382 rental units and additional commercial space intended to serve Northwood Village. Roog said the site will include structured public parking intentionally provided at about 10% above required parking to support the district.

Roog told the board Centennial Bank will provide construction financing and the bank required changes to the lease. The amendment approved by the board modifies subcontractor bonding requirements by increasing bonds for subcontractors with contracts of $500,000 or more, adjusts the project schedule (pushing the anticipated completion date by roughly six months), and records the bank’s mezzanine financing in an updated organizational chart so the lender is noticed in the project structure. Roog said the developer and general contractor reported active construction and are nearing a \"topping out\" milestone.

Brian Seymour, an ImaCorp representative present at the meeting, thanked CRA staff and the project team for assistance and said the developer appreciates the agency’s continued coordination as financing came together. President Lambert praised the progress and asked staff to convey appreciation to the developer for persevering on the project.

The board voted unanimously to approve the amendment.

Action: Resolution 25-22 approves revisions to the development agreement to satisfy Centennial Bank’s financing conditions, changes bonding requirements, updates the project schedule by about six months and adds lender notice to the organizational structure.","The board approved Resolution 25-22 to amend the property development agreement and ground lease with ImaCor for the Anchor Site (District at Northwood) to reflect new construction financing requirements from Centennial Bank, higher subcontractor bonding, and an extended completion schedule.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6273352,"CRA approves three 30-day notices to solicit affordable-housing proposals in historic Northwest",453,754000,1207000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3001438-19de776a0fcecc45971ec10aed8eee3f&start=754&end=1207","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3001438-19de776a0fcecc45971ec10aed8eee3f/thumbnail_754000.jpg","/articles/6273352/West-Palm-Beach/Palm-Beach-County/Florida/CRA-approves-three-30-day-notices-to-solicit-affordable-housing-proposals-in-historic-Northwest","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6273352-c1974239ecddcc84317a69d6dba59b1f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771184959&Signature=bpFvNPOyLI9FTI27o1Pn6riV3g3U3xbBCJLdsveXq-LdRzQ-c9OHNvXQ~~uW1rxNfHGwOEsK~buywe9DKXKiUrM118DH-rYNxEogtRoiAA5Y8iz5YRP3wmxnAwuDnVripWAuv6rap1Lp9JGlaPkR2aNIDFd3o3~LkKiEv210a6~xkGvP41rGQEPYzkPYBXuv41Th~gfW7~b6La0Pr4kpE31Loq277QoEz0K0J9Mmt5ZlEXL42Mv0F5DEG65ALJsYEnKStxiJIgW2y~Uov~pL~F6PvP8~7MIZWi55nekunT8prCgQ4PllZz6KgbPr37F41D64h7vUp~0am4WYtBK~zA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Community Redevelopment Agency on April 14 approved three resolutions (25-14, 25-15 and 25-16) authorizing publication of 30-day notices of intent to dispose of CRA-owned parcels in the historic Northwest for affordable housing development.

Gina Baker, project manager for the historic Northwest, described the properties as part of a portfolio the agency acquired around 2010 and said the lots present infill opportunities near local landmarks. Baker identified the parcels as 401 Division Avenue (corner of Division and Third Street, across from Friendship Baptist Church and near the Fantasy Island project), 639 Fourth Street (across from St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church and close to Fantasy Island) and 631 Sixth Street (adjacent to Styx Promenade). She said the agency will publish the notices locally, accept proposals for about 30 days and return to the board with recommendations.

Baker told the board the parcels are generally zoned residential; some lots have a commercial overlay and accessory dwelling units may be possible on certain sites. She said because the area is a historic district, staff will evaluate developers’ experience with historic-preservation requirements and will seek prequalification information on prospective occupants. Baker said the target affordability was about 80% AMI.

President Lambert, Commissioner Ward and Commissioner Warren discussed the need for a mixture of market-rate and affordable housing in the broader area; staff said market-rate opportunities exist elsewhere in the CRA portfolio and that the parcels under consideration were intended for affordable homeownership or small multifamily development. The board voted unanimously to publish the notices and solicit proposals.

Kelsey King, CRA project manager, told the board the lot was purchased by the agency in February 2006, is about 0.14 acres (just over 6,000 square feet) and is vacant. King said the parcel is zoned MF-14 (multifamily low density) and sits between Spruce Avenue to the east and the Florida East Coast railroad tracks to the west. The agency will publish the notice in the Palm Beach Post and on the CRA website, accept proposals for 30 days and then return to the board with submissions for consideration.

Under terms described by King and cited in the staff report, the agency is seeking proposals that prioritize affordable homeownership, emphasize high-quality and sustainable construction and demonstrate strategies to support local economic growth. King said the agency is aiming for homebuyer price points in the 60%–100% area median income range for purchasers. She said construction costs were estimated around $400,000 and that land donation and subsidies could reduce a purchase price to roughly $300,000.

Commissioner Warren asked whether the agency had identified developers; staff replied that the notice was prompted by an unsolicited proposal but that no partner had been selected and that proposals will be solicited openly. The board voted unanimously to approve the resolution.

The presentation was delivered by Stephanie Swimmer, communications coordinator with the West Palm Beach CRA, who said the quarterly event was intended \"to celebrate the many cultures in Northwood Village, to raise area awareness, to support the local businesses, as well as [to provide] a CRA platform to talk about the CRA projects, and to collect community feedback.\" Swimmer told the board that partner organizations included West Palm Beach Food Tours, which ran a pilot \"Taste of Northwood Village\" tour, and that the music store Soulmates Records held a grand opening during the event.

Swimmer reported 27 completed event surveys and 42 new CRA newsletter subscribers. According to the survey results presented, the average attendee was between 40 and 49 years old, most reported visiting the neighborhood about once a month, and many respondents said they were not familiar with CRA projects in the area but wanted to learn more. Swimmer said the majority of respondents learned about the event via social media and that organizers used Eventbrite, radio ads and local newsletters for marketing. She also said West Palm Beach Food Tours sold nearly 100 tickets against an initial goal of 50.

Commissioners praised the outreach. \"I appreciated the work that was put in... pleased to see that there were a lot more people in attendance,\" Commissioner Ward said. President Lambert said she wanted to \"find opportunities to help educate in a fun and engaging way\" after noting survey responses that indicated limited familiarity with the area and CRA work.

Swimmer closed by announcing the next Nights in Northwood Village will be Friday, June 13, with a \"tropical paradise\" theme and invited questions from the board.
