WHEREAS, the City of Sebastian commissioned the Treasure Coast Regional Planning
Council to host a charette over the future development of the County Road 512 corridor through
the City; and
WHEREAS, the City of Sebastian received the Charette Report (the "Development
Master Plan") dated November 3, 2000, and adopted it as the conceptual basis for the policies
governing development in the CR 512 corridor within the City of Sebastian; and
WHEREAS, on November 28, 2001 the City of Sebastian began to implement these
policies through adoption of Resolution R-01-83 renaming the roadway "Sebastian Boulevard",
with this re-christening taking effect March 1, 2002; and
WHEREAS, the Master Plan recommends various enhancements to the Sebastian.
Boulevard roadway, other public infrastructure improvement projects, as well as changes in the
zoning laws and development standards for the corridor; and
WHEREAS, on March 27, 2002 the City Council adopted Resolution R-02-15 submitting
the first of these improvements to the Federal Enhancement Program administered through the
Metropolitan Planning Organization; and
WHEREAS, a key element of the Sebastian Boulevard Development Master Plan
involves creation of a "new town center" area in the land located between the divided fight-of-
way for the corridor; and
WHEREAS, at its January 23, 2002 meeting the City Council discussed pending changes
to the laws governing Community Redevelopment Agencies that have subsequently passed and
will take effect in the coming months; and
WHEREAS, it was determined that Staff would review the City's redevelopment plans in
light of these changes and further advise Council; and
WHEREAS, consideration is being given to implementing the redevelopment provisions
of the New Town Center concept of the Sebastian Boulevard Development Master Plan by
utilizing the Community Redevelopment Agency provisions of law, and it would be advantageous
to do so before the recent amendments take effect; and
WHEREAS, the New Town Center concept requires an integrated redevelopment plan;
the concept will lose its integrity if some parcels within the area develop outside of the regulations
being proposed;
