AMENDING DEED RE BUILDING BETTER COMMUNITIES

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Resolution authorizing amended and restated County deeds to Building Better Communities of South Florida, Inc., permitting conveyance of three County-owned properties to affiliate Javon Gardens LLC, and granting a two-year extension to July 29, 2028, to obtain final certificates of occupancy for multi-family rental units for very low-, low-, or moderate-income households. Adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on 7/21/2026. The properties were originally conveyed for single-family homes under the Infill Housing Program; a prior resolution (R-124-24) allowed multi-family rental units on three of the five properties. The extension granted under R-124-24 expires on 7/29/2026. Building Better Communities cited uncontrollable delays including completion of surveys and inability to secure financing on its own as justification. The transfer is to Javon Gardens LLC, a joint venture between Building Better Communities and Pyramid Construction. The resolution also authorizes the County Mayor to exercise the County's reversionary interest or accept a deed back if deed restrictions are not met, and directs signage on the properties identifying the County and district commissioner.
