AMENDING DEED RE BUILDING BETTER COMMUNITIES

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

Resolution adopted on 7/21/2026 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 to be rented to very low-, low-, or moderate-income households. The properties were originally conveyed on May 7, 2019, under Resolution R-440-19 for single-family homes under the Infill Housing Program, changed to multi-family rental units on February 6, 2024, under Resolution R-124-24. The extension granted under R-124-24 expires on July 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 authorizes the County Mayor or designee 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's name and district commissioner.
