A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 94-
21432 WHICH RATIFIED RESOLUTION NO. 186-94 OF THE MIAMI
BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY DECLARING ACQUISITION OF THE
SHORECREST HOTEL LOCATED AT 1535 COLLINS AVENUE TO BE A
PUBLIC NECESSITY AND AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF THE
SHORECREST BY PURCHASE, DONATION OR THE FILING OF EMINENT
DOMAIN PROCEEDINGS.
SUBJECT:
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the
attached resolution repealing Resolution No. 94-21432 which
ratified Resolution No. 186-94 of the Miami Beach Redevelopment
Agency declaring the acquisition of the Shorecrest Hotel, 1535
Collins Avenue, to be a public necessity and authorizing the
acquisition of the Shorecrest by purchase, donation or the filing
of eminent domain proceedings.
ANALYSIS:
On December 21, 1994, the Mayor and City Commission approved
Resolution No. 94-21432 ratifying Resolution No. 186-94 of the
Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency declaring acquisition of the
Shorecrest Hotel, 1535 Collins Avenue, to be a public necessity and
authorizing the Redevelopment Agency to institute eminent domain
proceedings on the property to acquire fee simple title to same for
use in the City Center/Historic Convention Village Redevelopment
and Revitalization Area (CC/HCV). Further, on January 4, 1995
the Mayor and City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 95-2967 which
authorized the acquisition through filing of eminent domain
proceedings of the Shorecrest Hotel and declared said acquisition
to be a public necessity in conjunction with the project known as
AGENDA ITEM
~-1-3
7- 2~-qS
DATE
the City Center/Historic Convention Village Redevelopment and
Revitalization Area.
This property, in conjunction with the adjacent Royal Palm Hotel
property, had been identified as the site for the development of an
African-American owned convention-quality hotel by the HCF Group,
Inc. (HCF) in its joint development proposal with Sheraton Hotels.
However, since that arrangement did not come to fruition and HCF
has been seeking alternative partners which will most likely result
in a smaller, scaled back hotel development project, the Shorecrest
Hotel site is not needed at this time.
Therefore, acquisition of the Shorecrest Hotel at this time is not
a public necessity in conjunction with the CC/HCV project and is
not in the interests of the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency or the
City of Miami Beach. However, if the Agency Board finds at a
future date that acquisition of the Shorecrest Hotel is a public
necessity, they may, at that time, adopt a new resolution making
such finding and authorizing acquisition of the Shorecrest Hotel
through the filing of eminent domain proceedings.
CONCLUSION:
The Mayor and City Commission should adopt the attached resolution
which will repeal Resolution No. 94-21432 ratifying Resolution No.
186-94 of the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency calling for the
filing of eminent domain proceedings regarding the Shorecrest
Hotel, located at 1535 Collins Avenue, and declaring the
acquisition to be a public necessity.
