Renee, a CRA staff member, said staff had received interest from a primary-care physician who would accept insurance including Medicare and Medicaid and from a dentist interested in a downstairs unit. “We have had actual doctors call us, primary care physicians who are interested to take insurance, Medicare, Medicaid,” Renee said.

Staff described prior CRA rents for comparable properties as between $18 and $21 per square foot and told the board the agency prefers providers who will operate a regular practice rather than a part-time satellite office. One doctor who contacted the CRA is board-certified in dermatology, staff said.

Board members expressed a preference for flexibility: allow individual doctors to lease smaller spaces rather than insisting on a single-group lease for the whole building, while ensuring tenants provide full-time services to neighborhood residents. “I don’t want it as a satellite office for some doctor in Deerfield who wants to come up here 1 day a week,” Commissioner Long said.

The board gave staff consensus direction to proceed with a marketing and application process that can accommodate both individual practitioners and larger groups, and staff said it would circulate a JotForm application and draft materials to the board for review before public notice. No formal vote was taken; staff said they will follow up with a proposed application and timeline.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Meeting 07-16-2025 04:00 PM","oneSentenceSummary","CRA staff said local doctors and a dentist have expressed interest in leasing space at 95 Southwest Fifth Avenue; the board signaled consensus to offer smaller, affordable units to full-time practitioners who accept Medicare and Medicaid and to proceed with an application process.","taxTitle","Delray Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida","taxId",5598,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6168688,"CRA narrows nonprofit funding program to affordable-housing activities after state law changes",113,2306400,2419914,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5407093-ad5dfefa24cb23a2661f1226ab39001c&start=2306&end=2419","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5407093-ad5dfefa24cb23a2661f1226ab39001c/thumbnail_2306400.jpg","/articles/6168688/Delray-Beach/Palm-Beach-County/Florida/CRA-narrows-nonprofit-funding-program-to-affordable-housing-activities-after-state-law-changes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168688-2edbb2e56072785ee2e6bb77cee4b12c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440083&Signature=L0P9rhNimHelHveK9Fg28fVSTItEKoVRNR3tcO4--X1D~hVAlGAcGbzWEcsZ8XgYuOHVCZAzZn9irtGhtBQDRPqE~7HFl2d~y2yxVV5~YFQVPiKhdYIGjQCeweWUiRmUGq3LAkVV6KXOuJQrKBXZiEinMyFjbFz6U~gaVnl2z-5ghGIwi8VoTAf-fpO5qpCFSTQvbPvq--h14iplDmXDn1B8LuTIoN5B1M-aYy-CAdO9VbiwjvpHnMVJtt3FZnz552l5PVKyS~qUgYSDHeyqBbQrbzzPh2hq0a-eag6z1QiFBDhaBpHRiDOvi0~NYxQJsmAX3mT2Y1f3l3sLBtThDw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","CRA staff told the board the agency must narrow the A Guide program because recent state legislative changes restrict some categories of nonprofit support. The board voted to accept the proposed modifications, keeping funding eligibility focused on affordable-housing activities on city or CRA-owned property.

“Most of the nonprofits that we were supporting previously, we no longer are able to,” staff member Renee said when describing why the program was being revised. “The only category that we could, in fact, keep was affordable housing.”

Staff explained the revised guidelines remove recreational, cultural-facility and economic/business-development categories from the A Guide program so the CRA can continue to support affordable-housing organizations that operate on city or CRA property. The board approved the modification on a motion; a roll-call vote recorded affirmative votes from Chair Burns, Vice Chair Markert, Deputy Vice Chair Cassell, Commissioner Carney and Commissioner Long.

Staff said the backup materials included the revised program guidelines and that the city will absorb some program duties as the CRA transitions affected categories. No dollar figures for future awards were finalized at the meeting; staff said funding and program administration would follow the revised guidelines presented.","Staff told the CRA that recent state legislation has limited the agency’s ability to fund many nonprofit categories; the board approved modifying the 'A Guide' program to retain support only for affordable-housing activities on city or CRA property.",{"_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},6168693,"CRA tables Northwest Atlantic redevelopment items after residents urge alignment with set transformation plan",1530,787375,2318240,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5407093-ad5dfefa24cb23a2661f1226ab39001c&start=787&end=2318","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5407093-ad5dfefa24cb23a2661f1226ab39001c/thumbnail_787375.jpg","/articles/6168693/Delray-Beach/Palm-Beach-County/Florida/CRA-tables-Northwest-Atlantic-redevelopment-items-after-residents-urge-alignment-with-set-transformation-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168693-aff24356a4f3604bff8fccacfafec279/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440083&Signature=H2xjj8th4NsAIPZAXE7gZ38qzl6mFpr0NcmXXoyPHm6kU15jldlEgXE20mq2BRPxkT-f6gBoWKJ6qAj6t8ITuJg3RQTwOqY5xArdHLthgrgtU7y-x6Loh67LYKzblBGNJgKHbxir1ASJWI7uhtxtjAMNL0x3gI0BdloeaMBpyWw14Nj7FYp1SjT56xm7g7PPfnK7x~~8PZcX0O9LjvnwAu-asOKH5HkvCUPgN7xl75PXcGFW2t~j6w0NsM~IpBqsUwynTFsGQz6heLut9IHzA~zRsH3k0ZXrhw51fDPRV72L25MPb7gYfTD-SoGwzloeo9dLH7Kir~P3Kpz8iKOGZg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Residents and developers urged the Community Redevelopment Agency to align redevelopment of the West Atlantic corridor with an ongoing update to the set transformation plan, and the agency voted to table two related actions until its Aug. 28 meeting.

Montreux Bennett, speaking during public comment, urged a halt to development tied to the neighborhood until the set transformation plan update is complete. “I think we should stop all development that has to do with the voices and the words of the community before we move forward with anything,” Bennett said.

Resident Chuck Ridley urged the CRA to follow professional staff recommendations and to favor neighborhood-serving businesses and block-by-block infill. “Delay any decisions about what you should do until you give community its appropriate time to have feedback and input,” Ridley said.

Developer representative Tim Hernandez of Do Urban, describing prior local projects, told the CRA that a comprehensive, master-planned approach to the 600–800 blocks could produce better commercial synergies and workforce housing than piecemeal RFPs. “If you do it on a block by block basis … it’s gonna preclude them from knowing what's going on in the other blocks,” Hernandez said.

Community organizer Jennifer Jones urged the agency to prioritize low- and very-low-income housing and affordable commercial space for small businesses, saying longtime residents face displacement pressures.

CRA staff described the public-engagement schedule for the set transformation update and said more community-led meetings are planned; staff said the update likely will require at least two or three additional meetings, with an August session and additional fall dates and hoped-for completion by year’s end.

Board members debated timing and coordination. Commissioner Long said the West Atlantic portion is the city’s gateway and urged not to delay development unnecessarily; other commissioners emphasized the value of aligning RFPs with the updated neighborhood plan.

After discussion, the CRA voted to table two agenda items tied to the Northwest 800 block — identified in the agenda as 8AA (the container/modular project) and 8A (the adjacent parcels) formerly listed as 7D — and to revisit them at the Aug. 28 meeting. The motion to table passed on a roll call with affirmative votes from Commissioner Carney, Commissioner Long, Chair Burns, Vice Chair Markert and Deputy Vice Chair Cassell.

The tabling preserves time for additional community engagement on the set transformation update while allowing staff and the board to reassess RFP scope and sequencing at the designated meeting.","Public commenters urged the Community Redevelopment Agency to pause development decisions in the West Atlantic corridor until a neighborhood plan update is complete; the board voted to table two RFP items tied to the Northwest 800 block to Aug. 28.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6168698,"Organizer asks CRA to consider expanding Old School Square lawn for Delray Concours; requests one-day green market relocation",380,426655,806700,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5407093-ad5dfefa24cb23a2661f1226ab39001c&start=426&end=806","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5407093-ad5dfefa24cb23a2661f1226ab39001c/thumbnail_426655.jpg","/articles/6168698/Delray-Beach/Palm-Beach-County/Florida/Organizer-asks-CRA-to-consider-expanding-Old-School-Square-lawn-for-Delray-Concours-requests-one-day-green-market-relocation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168698-336995a3a2f9fe58703f97c7f45df5a1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440083&Signature=o2~s2RQX3V82O1OhdZcuAwMgJSwCZP5QHBJ7-OXIv7BFLA-dKlo76pbcJU0RwIIebAI0cJzfR7wvT8z0u38EH0G32RoWS4Q3wyKihXR147RxBxQICSPdC7PmPBPa3JqOZwPGeM94FD2lGVuqBQyjPClwca2x1QbpqXGU8Vt4IGbPzR1FJ~vMOoR3X6oYSLmrPPWzT5G0jwy2jI~BS~kGnyr0Ym~lUBGB030y9ihmpHNmx9~YzXhxKcqxQ5XjSqadtOBxvODiD2sQ86DaZAkZ1DeBekeNZCWaed9hLka45nb2Emv-dqZBcOvIDseFaoj~-ZDRd-MYbCWOtlIY67PTaw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Max Engage, an organizer of the Delray Concours, asked the Community Redevelopment Agency on Tuesday to review a request to expand the front lawn at Old School Square for the car show and to relocate the green market for one day.

The organizer said the annual event has raised money for local charities and draws high-value vehicles and attendees to Delray Beach. “We’re not asking for the green market to be canceled. We’re asking for the green market to be relocated for 1 day to wherever you deem necessary,” Max Engage said during public comment.

The request seeks placement on the CRA’s Aug. 28 agenda for a formal vote, Engage said. He told the agency the event draws about 10,000 attendees, fields about 150 cars and has raised roughly $125,000 for Delray charities in prior years; those figures were presented as the organizer’s claims.

Resident George Long offered brief verbal support, saying, “Max is right.” The CRA did not take action or vote on the request during the meeting; staff said they would meet with organizers and can place the item on a future agenda if appropriate.

The organizer also asked that the green market be moved to a nearby tennis-center parking lot if needed and said the event attracts vendors and museum owners from multiple states. The CRA did not set a timeline for staff review during the public-comment period.

For now, the request remains a public-comment submission and a proposal for staff and the board to consider at a future meeting. The CRA’s next steps will be determined as staff reviews logistics, conflicts with scheduled events and any permit or facility-use requirements.","An event organizer asked the Community Redevelopment Agency to review a request to expand the front lawn at Old School Square for the Delray Concours and to relocate the Saturday green market for one day to accommodate the show; the request was presented during public comment and will be considered by staff.","actionData","errors"]
