Council approves CRA replat for Marina Village affordable housing parcel

The Riviera Beach City Council on June 18 approved a replat requested by the Community Redevelopment Agency that consolidates three parcels at the southeast corner of Broadway Avenue and East 12th Street into one lot for a Marina Village affordable housing project.

Assistant director Scott Evans explained the plat will combine 1124 Broadway Avenue, 57 East Twelfth Street and 1195 Avenue C into a single legal parcel of roughly 2.44 acres to allow construction of a previously approved, 147-unit affordable housing development. Evans said the plat was reviewed under city subdivision rules and Chapter 177 of the Florida Statutes and that a third‑party surveyor certified compliance.

The planning and zoning board recommended approval on May 15; council voted unanimously to accept the replat. Staff noted the plat dedicates civic open space and reflects a 99‑year lease arrangement with the related group that will develop the site on behalf of the CRA.

Next steps: With plat approval, the developer may proceed with permitting and recordation of the new legal parcel to support construction. No public opposition appeared on the record.
