RE: Approve Spot Blight Designation; Authorize Redevelopment Authority to
Acquire 857 West 91h Avenue ($21,000)
BACKGROUND
The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) foreclosed on the property in
April 2016. The current owner purchased the home in September 2016 with the intent to
remodel the house as an owner occupied single family home. As the remodeling project
progressed, structural issues were identified that made the house uninhabitable. The owner
decided to sell the property to try and recoup his costs with the caveat that the house must be
demolished. City staff and the owner agreed on a sale price of $21,000.
ANALYSIS
The property is located on the south side of West 9th Avenue near the 9th and Knapp
intersection. The Sacred Heart Neighborhood Association is across the street on the north side
of West 9th Avenue. 9th Avenue is also considered a gateway to the community. One of the
goals of the approved 9th Avenue Corridor Plan is to improve the appearance of properties
along the gateway.
Demolition would cost about $10,000 to $20,000. The lot is normal sized for this immediate
area at 50' x 150', which would allow for the construction of a new affordable single family
home.
This block area is ranked average on the Quality of Life Map. Demolition of the existing house
and construction of a new affordable single family home would improve the neighborhood
and the 9th Avenue corridor.
FISCAL IMPACT
CDBG funds will be used for the acquisition and demolition tipping fees. There are adequate
funds available for this type of blight removal project.
