Approval of Resolution No. 196 Approving and Ratifying Amended Declaration of Protective Covenants and Restrictions of the Blackthorn Corporate Park Mr. Relos stated on October 27, 2015, the annual Blackthorn Owners' Association meeting was held. One of the agenda items was the proposed changes to the Declaration of Protective Covenants & Restrictions (Covenants) and Development Guidelines. The main changes made are as follows: 1) light industrial uses allowed in limited eastern areas of the park; 2) free standing restaurants were removed as a prohibited use; and 3) hotel use will be allowed anywhere within the park. Last year, the Authority deeded its ownership of the lots to the Commission as the bonds had been paid off. Within the Covenants, both the Redevelopment Commission and Redevelopment Authority are defined as the declarants with certain responsibilities. Since the Authority now has no ownership, the Authority is being asked to ratify the changes to the Covenants acknowledging they are no longer a declarant.
