RE: Approve Spot Blight Designation; Authorize Redevelopment Authority to
Acquire 821 Division Street ($19,000) (RDA recommends approval)
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 Redevelopment Authority recommended approval of the spot blight designation and
acquisition of 821 Division Street at its November 27, 2017 meeting.
