Property Improvement Program Grants
A new downtown restaurant owner got stuck paying out of pocket for awnings and paint tied to a building code violation his landlord never disclosed, then found the CRA grant fund already committed. The board stepped in to direct staff to process his roughly $7,500 application, raising questions about how the CPIP program handles after-the-fact work and wait lists.
Downtown streetscape and wayfinding wrap-up
Downtown improvements are nearly done: crosswalk repairs on Hollywood Boulevard are complete, crash-rated bollards are almost all in, Harrison Street landscaping is planted, and new directional signage is going up. The vacant La Piazza building will get window wrapping to brighten the block.
Self-storage facility proposed at 1109 North 21st Avenue
A developer proposes a four-story, 50,472-square-foot self-storage building with one residential unit, and wants the required 10-foot setback reduced to zero. Neighbors on 21st Avenue would see a taller building closer to the property line than the code normally allows.
27-unit apartment proposal at 1118-1126 North 17th Avenue
A four-story, 27-unit apartment building is proposed in the FH-1 district within the Regional Activity Center. It would add residential density to the 17th Avenue neighborhood.
33-unit apartment proposal at 1504-1510 North Dixie Highway
A four-story, 33-unit apartment building is proposed on North Dixie Highway and Roosevelt Street in the Regional Activity Center. It would add housing density along the Dixie Highway corridor.
