A resolution of the City of Gainesville, Florida approving the amended College Park/University Heights Community Redevelopment Plan; modifying and extending the boundaries of the College Park/University Heights Community Redevelopment Area; and providing an immediate effective date.
explanation
In 2004, the City Commission initiated an update of the College Park/University Heights (CP/UH) Community Redevelopment Plan including, if appropriate, an expanded area. The City retained Herbert-Halbeck, Inc. (HHI) and Real Estate Research Consultants (RERC) to investigate and document blight conditions in the area just south of the existing Community Redevelopment Area for possible inclusion. The proposed update of the CP/UH Redevelopment Plan both updates the existing CP/UH Redevelopment Plan and addresses the conditions of blight that were identified in the Expansion Area in the Findings of Necessity report for the expansion area, adopted by the City Commission on June 13, 2005. The CP/UH Redevelopment Plan was approved by the Community Redevelopment Agency and transmitted to the City Commission on November 21, 2005.
