RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning Scheduling and Advertising of Two Public Hearings to Designate 128 Airport Boulevard and the 6200 Block North Palafox as a Brownfield Area - J. Taylor "Chips" Kirschenfeld, Director, Department of Natural Resources Management
That the Board take the following action concerning two Public Hearings to receive public input on the designation of 128 Airport Boulevard, Pensacola, Florida 32503 (Property Reference Numbers (PRNs) 351S309002002012 and 351S309002007008) and the 6200 Block of North Palafox Highway, Pensacola, Florida 32503 (PRN 361S309002000003) as a brownfield area for the purposes of economic development and environmental rehabilitation:
A. Approve the scheduling and advertising of the first of two Public Hearings on October 18, 2018, at 5:32 p.m.; and
B. Approve the scheduling and advertising of the second of two Public Hearings on November 1, 2018, at 5:32 p.m.
BACKGROUND:
The primary goals of the Brownfield Redevelopment Act (BRA) are to reduce public health and environmental hazards on existing commercial and industrial sites that are abandoned or underused due to these hazards; create financial and regulatory incentives to encourage voluntary cleanup and redevelopment of sites; derive cleanup target levels and a process for obtaining a "No Further Action" letter using Risk-Based Corrective Action principles; and provide the opportunity for Environmental Equity and Justice.
To qualify for the incentives offered through the BRA, a property must be officially designated a Brownfield via Resolution by the local governing entity. The applicants (owners) of all three properties are requesting the properties be designated as a brownfield in order to capture economic incentives offered through the State for voluntarily remediating existing environmental impacts on the subject properties. These sites meet the requirements as a brownfield as per Chapter 376.80 F.S. The applicants will not be requesting any local funding but will use the designation to apply for incentives available through the State Brownfield Redevelopment Program.
