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 but were allowed to be converted to multi-family rental units 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 to Javon Gardens LLC is a joint venture between Building Better Communities and Pyramid Construction. The resolution authorizes the County Mayor to exercise reversionary interest or accept a deed back if deed restrictions are not met. Signage identifying the County and district commissioner must be placed on the properties.
