AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Presentation of a resolution to the Board of County Commissioners
from the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) recommending and supporting the County
funding and completing a workforce housing study to support development of inclusionary housing
requirements for hospitality and commercial sector to build workforce housing.
ITEM BACKGROUND: In 2008, the Monroe County Affordable Housing Advisory Committee
(AHAC) was established to comply with requirements in Ch. 420, F.S., related to the County's
participation in the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP). At that time, the BOCC
created Section 2-701 of the Monroe County Code, which establishes the duties of the AHAC,
consistent with the statutory requirements.
In August, 2014, the BOCC approved an agreement with the FCRC Consensus Center, FSU, for
professional services on an Affordable Workforce Housing Stakeholder Assessment, in order to assess
the current workforce/affordable housing situation in the County and propose a process for developing
recommendations to increase the supply of affordable housing. The report recommends that the BOCC
assign a number of additional duties to the AHAC to address increasing affordable housing in order to
address the current workforce/affordable housing situation.
Per Section 7-201(c) of the code, "the advisory committee may perform additional responsibilities
related to affordable housing at the request of the BOCC, including creating best management
practices for the development of affordable housing in the community."
The Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance 014-2015 amending Section 2-700 of the
Monroe County Code to establish the 14 members of the affordable housing advisory committee.
The Board of County Commissioners also adopted Resolution 139-2015 and Resolution 189-2015 to
add additional duties to the committee to create a Workforce Housing Development Plan; including
assigning Task 10: develop strategies to assist in developing inclusionary housing requirements for
hospitality and commercial sector to build workforce housing.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On May 21st, 2008, the Board of County
Commissioners adopted Ordinance 014-2008, which created Sections 2-700 through 2-703 of the
Monroe County Code to establish the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, including its
membership requirements and assigned duties.
At a regular meeting held on August 20, 2014, the BOCC discussed a possible need to reconvene the
Monroe County Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, and also approved an agreement with the
FCRC Consensus Center, FSU, for professional services on an Affordable Workforce Housing
Stakeholder Assessment.
At the May 20, 2015 BOCC meeting, the BOCC adopted Resolution 139-2015 establishing the duties
of the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee.
At a regular meeting held on June 10, 2015, the BOCC adopted Ordinance 014-2015 amending Section
2-700 of the Monroe County Code to establish the 14 members of the affordable housing advisory
committee and directed staff to amend Resolution 139-2015 to add one additional duty to the
committee to evaluate and propose additional mechanisms to qualify and monitor the occupants of
deed restricted affordable housing.
At the June 10, 2015 BOCC meeting, three additional members were appointed to the committee.
At the July 15, 2015 BOCC meeting, the BOCC adopted Resolution 189-2015 adding one additional
duty to the committee to evaluate and propose additional mechanisms to qualify and monitor the
occupants of deed restricted affordable housing.
At the October 21, 2015 BOCC meeting, the AHAC provided an update to the BOCC with the
submission of a resolution providing recommendations to the BOCC on the three assignments to be
completed by October 2015, as assigned to the AHAC pursuant to Resolution 189-2015.
At the January 20, 2016 BOCC meeting, the BOCC appointed a replacement member to the AHAC to
