Background:
The Board of County Commissioners, at its regularly scheduled meeting of April 8, 2025, authorized issuance of a Notice of Determination of Public Nuisance, declaring the unoccupied structure at 2321 Broadway, Sanford, a Public Nuisance as defined in Section 168.1, Seminole County Code (attached hereto, and hereinafter referenced as the “Notice”). This Notice also set the public hearing date as May 13, 2025 to allow time for noticing of all interested parties.
The Notice ordered that the offending structure be repaired or rebuilt in compliance with the Florida Building Code or that the Nuisance be abated through demolition of the structure. To date, none of these corrective actions have been accomplished. The purpose of the May 13, 2025 Public Hearing for which this Agenda Memorandum has been prepared, is to provide the record owners the opportunity to show cause, if any, why the subject structure does not create a Public Nuisance, why the cost of abatement of this Nuisance should not be paid by the record owners, and/or why the cost of abatement should not be assessed as a lien against the land upon which the offending structure is located.
Required notice has been provided to the record owners of this property. A timeline of notification attempts is as follows:

- The Notice of Determination of Public Nuisance was published April 20, 27 and May 7, 2025 in the Sanford Herald.
Currently there are no open code enforcement violations cited against this property.
Because no corrective action has been taken, and there continues to be a steady decline in the condition of the property, Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners issue an Order by Resolution declaring the unoccupied structure to be a Public Nuisance and describing the required corrective action that must occur by June 13, 2025. In the event Seminole County must take corrective action to abate the Public Nuisance, the cost of such action, together with the cost incurred in the administration of the Public Nuisance certification, the searching of the public records to determine ownership, and in serving the notice, will all be assessed against the record owners of the affected property, and will become a lien against the property as provided in Section 168.10, Seminole County Code.
Requested Action:
Request the Board of County Commissioners adopt a Resolution issuing an Order to: declare the existence of a Public Nuisance at 2321 Broadway, Sanford; require corrective action by June 13, 2025; and authorize necessary corrective action by the County in the event the Nuisance is not abated by the record owners.
