AMENDING DEED RE BUILDING BETTER COMMUNITIES

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

The Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-675-26 (File Number 260583) on July 21, 2026. The resolution authorizes the execution of amended and restated county deeds to Building Better Communities of South Florida, Inc., permits the conveyance of three previously conveyed county properties to its affiliate Javon Gardens LLC, and grants a two-year extension to July 29, 2028, to obtain final certificates of occupancy for multi-family rental units to be rented to very low-, low-, or moderate-income households. The properties were originally conveyed for single-family homes under the Infill Housing Program, but a prior resolution allowed multi-family rental units on three of the five properties. The extension granted in 2024 was set to expire on July 29, 2026. Building Better Communities cited uncontrollable delays, including completion of surveys, and its inability to secure financing on its own as justification for the extension and transfer request. The resolution also authorizes the County Mayor to exercise the County's reversionary interest or accept a deed back to the County if deed restrictions are not met, and requires signage on the properties identifying the County and district commissioner.
