The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), a division of Neighborhood and Human Services Department, was directed to conduct the necessary research and analysis to support findings that would determine whether expanded areas from the east of the centerline of Hilburn Road to include parcels on both sides of Ira Drive including a short portion of Atwood Drive to the south located within the Atwood community would meet the statutory criteria to be designated as a redevelopment area.  The CRA has completed the "Findings of Necessity", and a copy is attached. 

On May 17, 2018, at 9:00 a.m., a CRA meeting was convened to recommend to the Board to conduct a Public Hearing  concerning the adoption of a Resolution that amend the Atwood Redevelopment Area Plan as to boundaries only. A copy of the Resolution is attached which includes the map for the proposed area.

Funding for the proper advertisement will be provided through the CRA Atwood Tax Increment Financing (TIF), Fund 151, Cost Center 370120.  After the Atwood Redevelopment Area Plan is amended, the Atwood TIF Ordinance will be amended to include the additional parcels identified in the proposed expansion area.

County Attorney's office have reviewed and signed the Resolution as to form and legal sufficiency.

There is no additional personnel needed to carry out this process.

Conducting a Public Hearing to adopt a Resolution for the proposed expansion of the Atwood Redevelopment District is in compliance with the Board guidelines and procedures.
