STAFF MEMO

FROM: Lisa Tennyson, Affordable Housing Coor
THROUGH: Reggie Paros, Division Director of Ho g and Community Development
DATE: May 9, 2008
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Amendment Transmittal Meeting: Proposed Educational
FLUM Text Amendment
MEETING DATE: May 23, 2008
1. Summary
The purpose of this amendment is to allocate residential density to land within areas
categorized for educational purposes on the Future Land Use Map, in order to allow the Monroe
County School District to use portions of school sites for affordable housing for teachers and
school district personnel.
Florida Statute 1001.43(12) permits school boards to use portions of school sites for
affordable housing and other district personnel. In order to address its high rate of teacher
turnover rate and the concerns of its personnel with regard to housing and living costs, the
School Board has decided to construct housing for its staff. The County had not previously set
any residential density for the "Educational" land use category that overlays the school
district's sites, and now needs to do so in order to coordinate with the School Board's teacher
housing plans and programs.
2. Background
The text amendment has been requested by the Monroe County School District. At the
district's public pre -application conference, the School Board voted 5-0 to move forward with
building affordable housing on land adjacent to the Sugarloaf School. In March 2007, it held
two public community meetings to present their plans to the public and to solicit input and
address concerns. In May 2007, the School Board again voted 5-0 to approve the development
of 28 homes for teachers and school board personnel. In November 2007, DRC convened to
review this proposed ordinance and recommended approval. In January 2008, the Planning
Commission reviewed this proposed ordinance and unanimously recommended approval.
asking for a variance. Growth Management Division Director submitted that the language was not
necessary, that such projects would not necessarily be precluded from applying for variances, and
proposed deleting the variance language from the proposed text.
The modified ordinance was then approved by the BOCC, and is the version presented for the
May 23, 2008 transmittal meeting.
3. Staff Recommendation
Approval.
