7. Old Business
A. Pending Assignment No. 1 - Discussion and Consideration of New
Assignments from the CRA Board Assigned at the February 13, 2024, CRA
Monthly Board Meeting
Mr. Tack explained to the Board that they may revisit this discussion when they have
more Board members in attendance.
Chair Cobb questioned if the Board needed to pass a motion.
Mr. Tack stated that a motion does not have to be made.
All Board members verbally agreed to table the discussion.
B. Pending Assignment No. 2 - Discussion and Consideration of New
Assignments from the CRA Board assigned at the February 13, 2024, CRA
Monthly Board Meeting Regarding Property Acquisition
Mr. Tack stated that the Board has been assigned to look into properties for sale. He
explained to the Board that he has 2 properties for them to review. He said that one of
the properties were currently under contract, but if the property becomes available at
some point, he will already have the Board's consensus on what they would like to do.
Mr. Tack announced the first property as 400 NE 2nd Street. He stated that it is a duplex
property, and located just north of Boynton Beach Blvd, off 2nd Street. He commented that
the property is adjacent to some vacant parcels and is a little over .27 acres.
Chair Cobb questioned if this property is the one currently under contract.
2
5
Mr. Tack replied that it is not the property in question.
Ms. Roundtree asked Mr. Tack if the CRA owns the adjacent property.
Mr. Tack responded that the CRA does not own the adjacent property, but that he believes
the properties are owned by the same entity.
Chair Cobb asked if there had been any discussion with regards to joining the adjacent
properties, to make it more viable.
Mr. Tack replied no, but that if a development was to occur, the CRA would have some
type of leverage in regard to adding their property, and they could potentially receive
some public benefit.
Ms. Roundtree asked if the property is purchased, what will be done with the property
until it can be useful. She questioned if the CRA would continue to rent it out.
Mr. Tack explained that the CRA is not in the business of being a landlord. He stated that
typically they would be looking into demolition, if the property is not in good condition and
then maintaining it as a vacant parcel. He commented that if the property is in good
condition, then the CRA would look into opportunities such as affordable housing or a
temporary business.
Chair Cobb questioned if the property was located in the Heart of Boynton.
Mr. Tack replied that it is.
Chair Cobb announced that based on the location of the property, she would like to make
a motion to pursue.
Mr. Tack questioned if Ms. Cobb would like to pursue the property as a land banking
opportunity or to pursue at a future date.
Chair Cobb responded as a land banking opportunity.
Mr. Tack commented that they are unsure of what the inside of the property looks like.
He reiterated that if the property is in rough shape and looks too expensive to fix up for
another use, the property will likely be knocked down.
3
6
Ms. Roundtree said that her concern is that they do not own any of the surrounding
properties and that none of the surrounding properties are for sale. She commented that
if they decide to purchase the property and then knock it down, it will sit vacant. She
mentioned that they have no plan for that area unless they decide to put in affordable
homes. She questioned if the process is to build affordable homes.
Mr. Tack responded that they could get with developers or builders that could develop
multiple lots, or they could partner with a non-profit organization that does affordable
housing.
Ms. Roundtree expressed that she feels better about that option.
Mr. Tack stated that if it is a viable residential property, then it will be used as affordable
housing. He mentioned that if the property is not viable, there could be talk with the
adjacent owner on their intentions for their properties. He commented that there may be
a chance for a partnership.
Ms. Lopresto questioned if the CRA pays over the listing price for a certain property.
Mr. Tack stated that it comes down to the appraised value of the property.
Motion
Motion was made by Chair Cobb to pursue the property located at 400 NE 2nd Street as
a land banking opportunity, seconded by Ms. Roundtree, the motion passed
unanimously. (4-0)
Mr. Tack announced the second property as a vacant parcel and that the property does
not have a street number but is located NW 10th Ave. He mentioned that the property was
currently under contract and provided the Board with a link to view the property.
Ms. Roundtree reiterated that the property is under contract.
Mr. Tack stated that properties go in and out of contract all the time and that the idea was
to present the property to the Board and decide if it was worth to pursue. He mentioned
that the CRA would be looking into affordable housing for the property and that it would
more than likely be a single-family home.
Ms. Cobb questioned the depth of the property.
4
7
Mr. Tack responded that he believes the depth to be 120 but he may be off a little bit.
Ms. Lopresto asked for clarification on the options they can choose from regarding the
property.
Mr. Tack responded that the Board could pursue now as a land banking opportunity,
pursue at a future date or do not pursue, because it does not fit the CRA mission.
Motion
Motion was made by Ms. Lopresto to pursue the property located on NW 10th Ave at a
later date. Seconded by Ms. Cobb, the motion passed unanimously. (4-0)
C. Pending Assignment No. 3 - Discussion and Consideration of New
Assignments from the CRA Board Assigned at the January 10, 2025, CRA
Monthly Board Meeting
Mr. Tack advised that this item can be discussed at a future meeting when more members
are present.

AGENDA ITEM 7.A
SUBJECT:
Pending Assignment No. 1 - Discussion and Consideration of New Assignments from the CRA
Board Assigned at the February 13, 2024 CRA Monthly Board Meeting
SUMMARY:
At the CRA Board Meeting on February 13, 2024, the CRA Board approved the following
tasks be assigned to the CRA Advisory Board (CRAB):
1. Initiate the steps to revise the 2016 CRA Plan,
A. Review the existing CRA plan, and
B. Incorporate both the grocery store and public parking as part of that plan.
2. Look for ways that are above and beyond the normal City functions to beautify the area
within the CRA District (cannot be in replacement of normal COBB duties and needs to be
above and beyond).
3. Investigate means to acquire a grocery store in the Heart of Boynton.
4. Identify potential locations for a Public Parking Garage preferably along Ocean Avenue.
When matters are assigned to the CRAB Board, reliance on staff should be minimized to the
extent possible. Individual members of CRAB may not assign work to the CRA or City staff
members. Research by the members of the Advisory Board should be done independently
and with minimal support from the CRA or City staff.
Once the assignment is complete and the CRAB Board is ready to present a report to the
CRA or City Commission, the CRAB Board shall submit their report to CRA staff or the City
Clerk for publishing on the next available agenda.
At the January 2, 2025 meeting, the CRAB board finalized their presentation to the CRA Board
on their recommendations for updating the 2016 CRA Plan and presented their ideas and
suggestions to the CRA Board meeting on January 14, 2025 (see Attachment II).
At the February 6, 2025 meeting, the CRAB Board discussed Assignment No. 2 which was to
look for ways that are above and beyond the normal City functions to beautify the area within
the CRA District (cannot be in replacement of normal COBB duties and needs to be above
and beyond). The Board will continue to look at some suggestions more closely and come

MISSION STATEMENT
The Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (BBCRA) serves the community by guiding redevelopment activities such
as affordable housing, free business promotional events, and small business funding programs that create a vibrant downtown core and
revitalized neighborhoods within the Agency’s 1,650 acres located along the eastern edge of the City of Boynton Beach.
254
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.
Adoption Date: October 4, 2016
255
256
Educate residents about the CRA Districts.
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.
DISTRICT RECOMMENDATIONS / CONSIDERATIONS
257
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. (affordable housing, retail, mixed-use, office, hotel, re-development)

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.
DISTRICT RECOMMENDATIONS / CONSIDERATIONS
513
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. (affordable housing, retail, mixed-use, office, hotel, re-development)
