RE: Approve Spot Blight Designation; Authorize RDA to Accept Donation of Property
At 1125 North Main Street
BACKGROUND 1 ANALYSIS
The owner of the property is offering to donate this blighted, vacant house with lot at the north
end of the downtown area. Back taxes total about $17,200. This property will not be used for
a new house. The surrounding land uses and future land uses are planned for more
commercial. The Planning Division has identified alternative developments for the northern
entrance to the downtown. The short-term plan for the property is to demolish the blighted
structure. Staff expects to assemble additional blighted property and land necessary for
commercial redevelopment around this area.
At its December 18, 2013 meeting the Redevelopment Authority approved of the spot blight
designation and accepted the donation of property.
FISCAL. IMPACT
No impact is anticipated other than paying the back taxes. The RDA will attempt to recover some
of the costs associated with the acquisition /demolition and once resold, the property will be back
on the tax roll.
RECOMMENDATION
Council approves the spot blight designation and the RDA's acceptance of the land donation.
Approved,
City Manager
