With the city evolving rapidly, it’s time to re-imagine this plan to better reflect today’s priorities—emphasizing sustainable growth, vibrant public spaces, diverse housing options, and attractions that appeal to both locals and tourists. A refreshed vision will ensure Boynton Beach remains a thriving, dynamic community that meets the demands of the future. Adoption Date: October 4, 2016 252 253 Educate residents about the CRA Districts. Re-Evaluate district boundaries and consider renaming/re-branding.

On July 14, 2020, the CRA Board assigned the CRAB with the task of identifying available properties located within key commercial and light industrial areas of the CRA. CRA staff will provide the CRAB with a list of properties found on Costar/LoopNet and the Multiple Listing Service that are being marketed as "for sale" or properties where the CRA has been presented an opportunity to purchase by the property owners or their representatives. The CRA Board's assignment involves the CRAB performing research and analysis on these properties. The goal of the assignment is to have the CRAB provide a priority list of properties or recommendations on whether or not to pursue possible acquisition based on available funding. All land assemblages for future redevelopment shall be in furtherance of the 2016 Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Plan. Of the properties for sale (see Attachment I), categorize them as one of the following options: Pursue now as a land banking opportunity; or Pursue at a future time to be determined by the CRA Board; or Do not pursue because it does not fit the CRA mission. 263 •Attachment I - 1020 and 1040 W Industrial Ave. - Land & Industrial Property for Sale - Boynton Beach, FL for Sale LoopNet •Attachment II - 1020 and 1040 W Industrial Ave - PAPA Map Property Address Pursue Now as a Land Banking Opportunity Pursue at a Future Date Does not Fit the CRA Mission 1040 W Industrial Ave., Boynton Beach, FL 33426 (1020 W Industrial Ave., Boynton Beach, FL 33426 was previously reviewed at the December 5, 2024 meeting and recommended for Pursue at a Future Date) (see Attachments I-II) https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/Land- Industrial-Property-for- Sale/34625494/ When matters are assigned to the CRAB, reliance on staff should be minimized to the extent possible.

Adoption Date: October 4, 2016 t°* 2016 1 BOYNTON BEACH Community Redevelopment Plan The 2016 Community Redevelopment Plan, while ambitious at its inception, no longer aligns with the current needs and aspirations of Boynton Beach residents and visitors. With the city evolving rapidly, it's time to re-imagine this plan to better reflect today's priorities—emphasizing sustainable growth, vibrant public spaces, diverse housing options, and attractions that appeal to both locals and tourists. A refreshed vision will ensure Boynton Beach remains a thriving, dynamic community that meets the demands of the future. -a } + Z Ty *F= .1. �k,f. ,r� ' `i y " -. fit rN ,'.

Re-Evaluate district boundaries and consider renaming/re-branding. (e.g., Creating a Marina District currently in the Downtown District) Reevaluate the Boynton Beach CRA branding to align with the city's evolving identity and vision for the future. Implementing a comprehensive multi-modal connectivity plan will enhance connectivity, accessibility, and efficiency across all districts/city, ensuring equitable mobility options for residents and visitors throughout the city. BOYNTON rD A DISTRICT RECOMMENDATIONS / CONSIDERATIONS BEACH COMMUNRY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Consider creating a new tagline that could better encompass its vibrant community and diverse appeal. "Gateway to the Gulfstream" highlights the coast but may not reflect Boynton Beach's full identity. Explore partnerships with Live Local projects to incorporate a grocery store, particularly in or adjacent to The Heart of Boynton district, enhancing accessibility and supporting community needs. Engage community residents to collaborate with the CRA to rename the streets in our Downtown, Cultural,and Heart of Boynton districts, reflecting the area's unique character and shared heritage. Examine and coordinate potential funding for infrastructure improvements for all districts. (water, sewer, drainage) Continue land banking opportunities.
