The developers hoping to draw support from residents to build a variety of mixed-use facilities around what will become a new government campus site in the downtown area released a scaled-back version of their plans Monday – a day before the city council will confirm two ballot measures that will ultimately place the decision on whether to move forward in the hands of voters.

Terra Group and Frisbie Group, the development partners behind what has become known as the “One Boca” plan, have faced significant opposition from residents who object to the city’s plan for a public-private partnership that would result in acres of public land being redeveloped. The land would be provided to the developers under a 99-year lease, the revenue from which would be utilized to finance the construction of a new city government complex. In recent months, residents have packed city council meeting to express their opposition to the plan – especially turning over publicly-owned land to the private interests. After hours-long discussions at council meeting and three open sessions where residents could submit feedback on the plan, Terra-Frisbie announced major changes Monday.
The key revisions include the leased area reduced by about 75 percent, from 31 acres to between 7 and 8 acres. The land that would be developed by Terra-Frisbie would be located exclusively east of NW 2nd Avenue near the Brightline station. Additionally, there would be no private development in any location west of NW 2nd Avenue. The portion to the west would be “dedicated to public, civic, and recreational uses including a world-class Memorial Park, City Hall, Community Center, and recreational facilities.”
