Area of Critical State Concern mandates relating to housing affordability) recognize the need for
affordable housing throughout the state and particularly in the Florida Keys where developable land for
housing is extremely limited and expensive; and
WHEREAS, the challenge of providing affordable housing opportunities in the Florida Keys is
one requiring sensible and responsive use of residential unit allocations, including implementation of
long -term preservation mechanisms; and
WHEREAS, due consideration should be given to relevant factors such as the capacity for
allocation recipients to promptly transform allocation awards /reservations into finished and occupied
affordable/workforce housing units; and
WHEREAS, the developers have legitimate needs for some assurance that allocations are in fact
and will remain available and/or justified for a reasonable time so that follow - through on initial
commitments will in fact be justified; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Strategy 3.3 of the Master Plan for Future Development of Big
Pine Key and No Name Key, the county shall retain and expand availability of affordable housing within
the planning area to the greatest extent possible; and

housing project until March 31, 2011; and
