as previously designated by Resolution 86-80 on November 20, 1986; and
WHEREAS, the area described in Exhibit A, including the area to be added
to the enterprise zone, is an area in which there are conditions which are a
menace to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare, including but not
limited to a substantial number of slum, deteriorated or deteriorating
structures and other deterioration of site or other improvements, a predominance
of defective cr inadequate street layout, faulty lot layout, and diversity of
ownership, and because of such conditions the area exhibits the characteristics
of an "enterprise zone" as defined in Section 290.004(1)(al, Florida Statutes,
and meets the requirements of Section 290.0055(3), (4) and (5), Florida
Statutes: and
WHEREAS, the City Commission finds that the rehabilitation, conservation
or redevelopment, or a combination thereof, of the area described in Exhibit A,
including the "area to be added to the enterprise zone, is necessary in the
interest of the public health, safety, morals, or welfare of the residents of
the city; and
WHEREAS, there is a need to change the boundaries of the ~nterprise zone
because the inclusion of the additional areas will diversify the composition of
the enterprise zone by adding a mixture of residential, commercial and
institutional uses, including parking facilities, thereby making the zone more

attractive for public and private investment: and

Florida Enterprise Zone Program as described in Chapter 290, Florida Statutes:
