Bill 2023-89 – AR Polar Redevelopment Agreement
Summary:
• Authorizes a redevelopment agreement between the City and AR Polar Jacksonville, LLC (“AR
Polar”) to facilitate a property swap whereby the City will exchange a portion of a City-owned
parcel located adjacent to WJCT currently being used as a retention pond (“Retention Pond
Parcel”) for a portion of a riverfront parcel owned by AR Polar (“Fire Station Parcel”) in order to
acquire land necessary to construct a new marine fire station to serve as the replacement of the
former Metropolitan Park marine fire station.
City to receive:
• 1.60 acre portion of a riverfront parcel consisting of 1.20 acres of upland and 0.40 acres of
submerged land for the new marine fire station (“Fire Station Parcel”)
• The appraised value of the Fire Station Parcel is $3,941,000 ($75/sq. ft. for the upland portion
and $2.43/sq. ft. for the submerged land)
• City must commence construction of the fire station by March 31, 2024 or Fire Station Parcel
will revert to AR Polar
• Fire Station Parcel restricted to a fire station or other civic purpose for a term of 50 years
Other Project Components:
• City will make improvements to Festival Park Avenue at an estimated cost of $1,772,781
(“Festival Park Improvements”), which will result in full signalized access to the WJCT property
and Fire Station Parcel from Gator Bowl Boulevard, and also provide enhanced access to AR
Polar’s property
• To date, $15,450,000 has been appropriated in the CIP for the Metropolitan Park Replacement
Fire Station, Fire Museum, and Dock project, with $3,000,000 scheduled to be appropriated in the
FY 23/24 CIP
AR Polar to receive:
• Option to purchase up to 4.75 acres of City owned Retention Pond Parcel:
- Initial Option – 58,750 square feet (approximately 1.35 acres) filled in by the City at no cost to
AR Polar (City to pay cost of filling in)
- Second Option – up to 3.4 acres at $38/sq. ft. if not filled in or $52/sq. ft. if filled in by the City
• If AR Polar does not exercise the Initial Option, the City will pay AR Polar $3,055,000 (subject
to future appropriation by Council) to purchase the Fire Station Parcel (appraised value less half
of the cost of the Festival Park Improvements which will benefit AR Polar)
Performance Schedule:
• Closing on Fire Station Parcel: Within 45 days of the effective date of the Redevelopment
Agreement (RDA), but not later to March 31, 2023 unless mutually agreed to by the parties
• Completion of Festival Park Improvements: June 30, 2025
• Expiration of AR Polar’s Purchase Options: Five years from the effective date of the RDA
• Commencement of AR Polar’s Improvements: Within 10 years of closing on the Initial Option
