CRAAB Agenda Packet
[401 S. Park Avenue (City Hall Commission Chambers)] The Community Redevelopment Advisory Board met on May 28, 2026, to discuss and take action on several items. Key agenda items included the West Fairbanks Catalyst Development (CDP) Program and Septic to Sewer Programs, and a review of the Capital Project Worksheet. The CDP aims to encourage large-scale, mixed-use redevelopment in the West Fairbanks corridor, offering incentives like permit fee waivers and requiring a minimum development cost of $2.5 million and a minimum of 1 acre. The Septic to Sewer program offers up to $20,000 in grant funding for commercial and mixed-use properties within the CRA to connect to the city sewer system, improving water quality and eliminating septic maintenance. The Capital Project Worksheet outlines potential projects for the 10-year capital improvement plan, including infrastructure upgrades, housing initiatives, and streetscape revitalization, with estimated costs and timelines. Staff also provided updates on ongoing projects such as the Denning/Fairbanks Lake Rose Improvements, MLK Park Community Playground, and CRA MLK Stormwater / W. Fairbanks Stormwater Improvements. This document outlines various housing assistance programs and resources available, primarily within Orange County, Florida. It details programs like the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) aimed at acquiring, repairing, and selling foreclosed homes to stabilize neighborhoods, with specific eligibility criteria including income limits and prohibiting investors. Other mentioned resources include Orange County Housing and Community Development (offering housing rehabilitation, down payment assistance, emergency home repair, and weatherization), Orange County Housing Assistance Program (for minor/major rehabilitation and emergency repairs), Habitat for Humanity of Greater Orlando (rental assistance, vouchers, first-time homebuyer programs), Orange County Housing Help Center (home construction/repair, affordable homeownership, critical home repair), Emergency Rental Assistance Program, and the Orange County Government Housing Portal. Federal programs and resources from HUD are also listed, including help with homeownership (FHA loans, HUD Approved Housing Counselors, HUD Home Store), foreclosure prevention, assistance with utility bills (HEAP), and Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8). The document emphasizes eligibility requirements such as income limits, residency, and credit scores for many programs, and explicitly states that investors are not allowed to purchase under the NSP program.

W. Fairbanks Catalyst Development Program (CDP)
The City of Winter Park is reviewing the W. Fairbanks Catalyst Development Program (CDP). This program is planned for an area within Winter Park, Florida. The specific details regarding property size, current use, and proposed future land use are still under review. This project is in the early stages of the public process, meaning plans are still being developed. If approved, the project could involve significant site preparation, including potential septic-to-sewer conversion and utility work. Depending on the final plans, there may be needs for grading, underground utilities, paving, building construction, and landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's scope as it moves through the review process. Early involvement before final bids and permits are issued can provide a competitive advantage.
