DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
The Board of County Commissioners of Marion County, Florida, as the local governing body, created the Silver Springs Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) Trust Fund by Ordinance No. 13-15 and adopted the Silver Springs CRA Community Redevelopment Plan (CRP) by Resolution No. 13-R-200. The Silver Springs CRA CRP currently serves as the formal guiding document for the Silver Springs CRA and establishes a 30-year duration for the Silver Springs CRA.
The Marion County Community Redevelopment Agency (Agency Board) completed the Silver Springs CRA 2024 Master Plan (2024 Plan) to provide updated data and guidance for redevelopment and development activity within the Silver Springs CRA. The 2024 Plan was accepted by the Agency Board; however, formally incorporating the 2024 Plan into the Silver Springs CRA CRP may only be approved by the Board of County Commissioners as the local governing body pursuant to Section163.361, F.S.
Further, the Agency Board has determined that an extension of the Silver Springs CRA’s duration, by an additional 10-years, to a total of 40-years as permitted by Section 163.3755(1) F.S., is appropriate to enable additional time to further the redevelopment and development of the Silver Springs CRA. The requested CRP modification for the 10-year extension must also be approved by majority vote of the Board of County Commissioners as the local governing body pursuant to Section163.361, F.S.
Staff requests the Agency Board authorize a Board of County Commissioners request to set a public hearing, as the local governing body to consider modifications to the Silver Springs CRA CRP’s duration and incorporate the 2024 Plan on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., or soon thereafter. A preliminary draft resolution is attached for reference, wherein the final resolution documents will be prepared for the Board of County Commissioners’ consideration consistent with Section163.340(3).
