Summary
On second reading the City Commission approved Ordinance No. 5143‑25 to sell city‑owned property at 2410 North Australian Avenue to BDG Land Company LLC for $660,000 to facilitate an employee‑based workforce housing development; action passed unanimously.
The West Palm Beach City Commission on Monday approved Ordinance No. 5143‑25 authorizing the sale of city‑owned property at 2410 North Australian Avenue for $660,000 to BDG Land Company LLC to support development of an employee‑based workforce housing project.
"This is the second reading of this ordinance and there were no changes since the first reading," Kimberly Spence, interim director of housing and community development, told commissioners. The ordinance approves a sale and purchase agreement, a workforce housing agreement and related easements to facilitate the project.
The measure passed on a unanimous voice vote with no public opposition at the second reading. The ordinance directs staff to complete the sale and execute the documents necessary to implement the workforce housing agreement; the city clerk read the ordinance into the record before commissioners voted.
City staff did not provide further project design or timetable details at the meeting; the ordinance language authorizes the sale and the related agreements that will set development obligations for workforce housing. Commissioners thanked staff and moved the ordinance forward without amendment.
