DATE:November 21, 2017
SUBJECT:November 27, 2017 RDA Agenda items
17-23 Approve Spot Blight Designation; Approve Acquisition of Property at 821
Division Street ($19,000)
Background
The property is currently vacant and in need of demolition. The home had been owner
occupied, but the owners are elderly, their children are looking to sell the property since
their parents moved to an apartment, and they approached city staff. This property is
not in a Neighborhood Association, nor in a designated Redevelopment Area. The
house has not been on the market since there would be substantial clean up and
rehabilitation needed.
Analysis
The property is assessed at $14,700 for the land, and $23,800 for the house. Staff has
inspected the building and found significant costs for rehabilitation, the costs of
rehabilitation would far outweigh the value of the house. While there is no
Neighborhood Association nor is it located in a Redevelopment District, the lot size and
location has good potential for redevelopment. Without RDA acquisition, the property
would likely become a rental property with little to no improvements or rehabilitation.
Fiscal Impact
CDBG grant funds are available for central city, scattered site blight removal. Upon
demolition, the parcel would be offered for redevelopment.
Recommendation
The RDA approves the Spot Blight Designation; and approves Acquisition of Property
at 821 Division Street ($19,000)
