SUBJECT: Developer’s
Agreement - Altman Development
Corporation and 441 Real Estate Investment, Inc. (United Homes) - Granda Project
The Altman Development
Corporation, in conjunction with 441 Real Estate Investment, Inc. (United
Homes) is proposing to build 220
residential luxury garden apartments, and up to 10,000 square feet of
commercial use on the vacant parcel of land (currently known as the Delegal
Plat) located at the intersection on the east side of State Road 7 and south of
the McNab Road Extension. The project is
being constructed as a Planned Unit Development (PUD), which permits land under
unified control to be planned and developed as a whole, with a greater amount
of flexibility by removing some of the detailed restrictions of conventional
zoning. In order to accommodate the
additional impacts of the development on public facilities and facilitate this
flexibility, the City, the Developer and the Property Owner have agreed to
enter into a Development Agreement pursuant to Section 163.3227, Florida
Statutes.
Attached for your review and approval is the proposed ordinance which would authorize the City Manager to execute this Development Agreement under the guidelines of Section 163.3227 of Florida Statues. Some of the provisions included in the agreement pertain to water and sewer impacts, the parks and recreation impact fee, school crossing guard impact and police and fire service. The staff has worked diligently with the Developer to draft this agreement to ensure that the proposed development would not cause any adverse impacts.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Administration would like to request that the City Commission move to approve, on first reading, the attached Ordinance which would authorize the execution of the attached agreement with Altman Development Corporation in conjunction with 441 Real Estate Investment, Inc. (United Homes) for the Granada project.
