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. 2
