AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners
of Monroe County, Florida, directing the Monroe County Planning and Environmental Resources
Department to process an ordinance to defer the approval of new private applications utilizing
Monroe County Code Section 139 -2 (affordable housing incentive program) to transfer ROGO
exemptions from mobile homes to another location, commencing March 15, 2017, until the land
development code is amended to limit the transfer ROGO exemptions from mobile homes to only
tier III designated platted lots within the Improved Subdivision (IS) land use district and within the
same ROGO planning subarea for the development of single family detached dwelling units; as
recommended by the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee and the BOCC; providing for
expiration within 365 days of the effective date of an interim development ordinance or when the
land development code amendments become effective, whichever comes first.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
In 2015, the BOCC expanded the membership of Affordable Housing Advisory Committee and
assigned the committee specific additional duties to complete within a 1 year timeframe. The
committee met from August 2015 through July 2016 to develop recommendations to facilitate the
provision of workforce housing.
On July 22, 2016, the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee adopted Resolution 01 -2016,
providing 33 recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners on the issues included in
their charge.
On August 17, 2016, staff presented the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee's adopted
Resolution 01 -2016 (33 recommendations) to the BOCC and the BOCC approved contracts for
studies to support an inclusionary housing requirement to cover transient and commercial
development as well as requested staff to schedule a special meeting to discuss the remaining
recommendations.
On a special meeting on December 6, 2016, the BOCC reviewed and discussed the 33
recommendations provided by the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee and directed staff to
research certain items, implement certain items and process amendments to the land development
code.
At the special meeting on December 6, 2016, the BOCC specifically directed staff to amend Monroe
County Code Section 139 -2 (affordable housing incentive program), as recommended by the
Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, to limit the transfer of ROGO exemptions from mobile
homes to only tier III designated platted lots within the Improved Subdivision (IS) land use district
and within the same ROGO planning subarea for the development of single family detached
dwelling units.
The proposed resolution directs the County's Planning and Environmental Resources Department to
process an ordinance to defer the approval of new private applications utilizing Monroe County
Code Section 139 -2, which provides for affordable housing incentive programs including the
transfer of rate of growth ordinance exemptions from mobile homes to another location. The
resolution would take effect immediately upon adoption.
The resolution contemplates that the new regulations would limit the transfer ROGO exemptions
from mobile homes to only tier III designated platted lots within the Improved Subdivision (IS) land
use districts and within the same ROGO planning subarea. The resolution also contemplates that
the new regulations would limit transfers to only development of single family detached dwelling
units as recommended by the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC Resolution 01-
2016).
The proposed interim development ordinance would sunset within 365 days of its effective date or
when the land development code amendments become effective, whichever comes first.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: At the February 15, 2017 BOCC meeting, the
Commission directed staff to initiate the process to impose an interim development ordinance in
anticipation of making substantive legislative changes to the Land Development Code.

AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Presentation and discussion of Affordable Housing Advisory
Committee (AHAC) Resolution 01 -2016, adopted by the AHAC on July 22, 2016, for the Monroe
County Board of County Commissioners to consider 33 recommendations to facilitate the provision
of workforce housing and provide staff direction on which recommendations to evaluate and
complete.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
In 2008, the current Monroe County Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) was
established by the BOCC 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 Sections 2 -700 and 2 -701 of the Monroe County Code, which establishes the duties of the
AHAC and its membership, 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. Pages 4 and 5 of the
report provide the suggested duties.
Per Section 2- 701(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 increase from 11 members to 14 members the affordable housing advisory
committee membership.
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.

workforce housing and provide staff direction on which recommendations to evaluate and complete.

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.

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

EXHIBIT 1
TASK # 1 & 2 WORKFORCE AND WORKFORCE HOUSING DEFINITIONS AND NEED
OcTOBER 2015AHAC CoNsENsus REcommENDA TioNs
/. The BOCC should review the Committee's recommended definitions for "Workforce" and "Workforce
Housing." If the BOCC accepts the Committee's recommendation, it should direct staff to propose any
Land Development Code amendments needed to incorporate them.
2. Workforce means individuals or families who are gainfully employed supplying goods and /or services to
Monroe County residents or visitors.
3. Workforce Housing means dwelling units for those who derive at least 70% of their income as members
of the Workforce in Monroe County and who meet the affordable housing income categories of the
Monroe County Code.
4. Based on the current, available data, the Committee believes there is an unmet Workforce Housing need
throughout Monroe County, specifically near employment centers. It recommends the BOCC recognize
that Monroe County continues to experience a critical Workforce Housing need. The need and demand
for Workforce Housing appears most critical for those households at the median, low and very low -
income levels and is most severe in the middle and lower Keys.
TASK # 3 QUALIFYING & MONITORING DEED RESTRICTED AFFORDABLE HOUSING
OCTOBER 2015AHAC UNANIMOUS CONSENSUS RECOMMENDATIONS
The bold language for recommendation #7 below were rug erted refinements that were agreed to by the AHAC at the June 17 meeting.
The Committee recommends the BOCC take action to strengthen the County's ability to qualify and
monitor deed restricted affordable housing in unincorporated Monroe County.
5. The BOCC should direct staff to continue to build its database of deed - restricted units.
6. The Committee strongly recommends staff coordinate, collaborate and share information with the
Monroe County Housing Authority, municipalities, nonprofit entities, and the real estate sector to create
a dynamic countywide database, inventory for existing affordable housing.
7. By October 2016, County staff should develop proactive mechanisms including code requirements
and fines based on HUD guidelines to enhance the monitoring of affordable housing including
consideration of securing the services of the Monroe County Housing Authority, additional County staff
or 3rd party monitoring services or some combination thereof. Funding estimates for such a program
should be developed and evaluated by staff and the Monroe County Housing Authority and should be
considered in deciding how to develop the most cost effective monitoring and qualifying approach.
8. The Committee strongly recommends staff coordinate and share information with the municipalities in
developing these options, with a goal of developing a countywide monitoring mechanism program.
9. The Committee strongly recommends that the County identify and fund an enhanced enforcement
program as an essential element for maintaining affordable workforce housing in the County. This
program should address compliance and enforcement of deed restricted property to maintain our
3
available housing stock.
a) Authorize Code Compliance and /or the Monroe County Tax Collector's Office to more
aggressively pursue illegal rentals.
b) Require that owner- occupied units be homesteaded.
TASK #4 DEVELOP SOLUTIONS FOR RENTAL WORKFORCE HOUSING
90. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to evaluate and develop comprehensive plan and land
development code amendments to create a workforce housing overlay which can be applied to
properties (through a map amendment) to provide additional density bonuses for workforce
developments that offer only workforce housing rentals in perpetuity on Tier III designated lands.
(fomle7l 4 a.)
11. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to evaluate and recommend a proactive approach to
enhance the enforcement against illegal vacation rentals; tourist housing and vacation rentals of
affordable housing units; including additional code compliance staff to focus on short -term rentals and
continued partnership with the Monroe County Tax Collector. (fomle7 y 4 b.)
92. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct the Land Authority to evaluate and provide
recommendations to the BOCC on utilizing Land Authority funds to buy back expiring deed
restrictions in order to preserve rental affordable housing. The Land Authority should consider
remaining deed restriction timeframes and make recommendations on potential monetary offers to
provide for a range of additional deed restriction years, including a priority for perpetual deed
restrictions in order to preserve existing affordable housing. (fomle7y 4 c.)
93. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to evaluate and provide recommendations to the
BOCC on strategies and best practices for engagement, outreach, public awareness and education to
address the NIMBY ( "Not in my backyard ") sentiment to workforce housing and collaborate with the
developers, municipalities, the private and non- profit sectors. (fomle7l 4 d.)
TASKS #5 & #6 DEVELOP INCENTIVES FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING ON TIER 3
PROPERTIES, INCLUDING STRATEGIES FOR INCREASING
DENSITY.
94. The AHAC recommends the BOCC consider issuing requests for proposals (RFP) for the development
of workforce housing on county -owned land as a key priority. The AHAC recommends the BOCC
direct staff to collaborate with other public entities which own land in the county and recommend how
best to increase and target incentives for leasing back the properties to workforce housing developers.
The AHAC also recommends the BOCC direct the Land Authority to prioritize the purchase of
additional Tier 3 lands for the development of workforce housing. The BOCC may also consider future
RFPs for the development of affordable housing. (fomle7y 516 a.)
95. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to evaluate the legal, financial and legislative issues and
develop recommendations on the development of a property tax incentive for homeowners that rent a
lawfully established existing market rate unit to a member of the workforce in any Tier within the very
low, low and median affordable housing income limits and rental rates. (fomle7 y 516 b.)
M
16. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to evaluate the legal, financial and legislative issues and
develop recommendations on the creation of a 10 -year tax incentive for the development of only
workforce housing. (fomle7y 516 c.)
97. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to maintain and update the inventory of County owned
land that can be used for affordable housing development. (fomle7y 516 d.)
98. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to evaluate and develop comprehensive plan and land
development code amendments to allow property owners of Tier 3 designated lands with an existing
market rate dwelling unit to add an accessory workforce housing residential unit which will require the
use of an affordable ROGO. Staff should evaluate residential zoning districts, density standards, income
levels, maximum size of the accessory workforce housing residential unit and the minimum property size
for the development of an accessory residential workforce housing unit. This can be a method to
incentivize the development of smaller "starter units" for the workforce. (fomle7y 516 e.)
19. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to evaluate and develop comprehensive plan and land
development code amendments to create a Workforce Housing overlay for the Planning Commission to
recommend and Board of County Commissioners to approve an extra story for the development of an
exclusive workforce housing project, up to maximum of 40 feet. (fomle7y 516f.)
20. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to revise existing Land Development Code Section 130-
161.1 to provide another incentive for the preservation of affordable housing and the development of
market rate housing on Improved Subdivision (IS), Tier III properties as follows:
"ROGO exemptions transferred under this program may be transferred on a 1 for 1 basis
to Tier III. single- family residential lots within the
Improved Subdivision aS) land use district and the same ROGO planning subarea for the development of
single family detached dwelling units llewetmef, Wk efe fffttsf ffe Te be ffi ele fe eeffiffief
" (fomle7l
516 g.)
21. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to evaluate and develop comprehensive plan and land
development code amendments to create an additional workforce housing density bonus in the Mixed
Use Zoning District to provide additional density only for the development of workforce rental housing
in the median, low and very low income categories which is deed restricted in perpetuity and located on
Tier 3 designated lands. (fomle7y 516 h.)

MANAGEMENT ENTITY FOR RENTAL WORKFORCE HOUSING
See Task 3, Recommendations 7 -9 that address this Task.
TASK # 8 EXPLORE AND PROPOSE LOCAL FUNDING SOURCES TO HELP EXPAND
WORKFORCE HOUSING IN MONROE COUNTY
Unquestionably these recommendations will be costly, in developing these recommendations, the AHAC
believes from the past 12 months of discussions that the Commission should set a 10 -year target of raising
at least $10 million annually from local funding sources to help expand workforce housing in Monroe
County and address the unmet Workforce Housing need throughout Monroe County, specifically near
employment centers.
22. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to evaluate the legal, financial and operational issues

workforce housing and the enforcement of regulations. (fomle7y 8.a.1)
23. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to evaluate the legal, statutory, financial and operational
issues and make recommendations on whether and how to establish a property tax exemption for non -
primary residences that rent their residence for not less than 6 months (long term) to a member of the
Monroe County workforce. Every property owner claiming the additional reduction in assessed value
must annually file an application with the Monroe County Property Appraiser, including documentation
and affidavit regarding the qualifying workforce housing occupant of the residence for the year in which
the reduction is sought. (fomle7y 8.a.2)
24. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to evaluate the legislative, economic and financial
issues, including and take the necessary steps and make recommendations on whether and how to
propose to statutory amendments to increase by 1 penny the Tourist Impact Tax to provide additional
dedicated funding for the acquisition of land for workforce housing and construction of workforce
housing in Monroe County. Evaluate including a sunset date of 10 years_ (Forlve7/ 8 -b 9)
25. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to engage with the Community Foundation of the
Florida Keys(CFFK), municipalities, and the business and tourist sector in Monroe County to establish a
community workforce housing fund administered by the FKCF that can provide additional dedicated
funding for workforce housing in Monroe County and rental assistance loans. (ForIve7I 8 d.)

Note: Land Authority staff has stated that statutog amendments would not be needed for draft recommendation.
29. In light of the workforce housing crisis in Monroe County, the AHAC recommends the BOCC continue
to support 4 the provision of Sadowski Trust funding and the dedicated tax credit project for the
Florida Keys as a key legislative priority. (Former y 9 -b.)
TASK 10 DEVELOP STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING INCLUSIONARY HOUSING
REQUIREMENTS FOR HOSPITALITY AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS
TO SUPPORT BUILDING WORKFORCE HOUSING.

March 2096 AHAC Meeting. The Committee emphasized with staff and the BOCC the urgency of
completing the nexus study as soon as possible in order to advance policy recommendations on
establishing an inclusionary housing program for transient and commercial development in the County.
39. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to evaluate the legal, financial and economic issues and
make recommendations on whether and how to amend the land development code to not allow
inclusionary requirements to be satisfied through `linkage' under Sec. 130 -161 (c) with affordable
housing units built in proportion of the government investment. (Former y 90 -a.)
32. The AHAC recommends the BOCC direct staff to evaluate the legal, financial and economic issues and
make recommendations on whether and how to amend land development code to not allow inclusionary
requirements to be satisfied through `linkage' under Sec. 130 -161 (c) with affordable housing units
already -existing /built._(Fo7 -#aerly 90 -b.)
Note: linkage should not be available for existing affordable projects as they do not address the need for additional
affordable housing.
TASK 11. OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION ON
WORKFORCE HOUSING
33. Building on the February 2016 Workforce Housing Intergovernmental Roundtable and the continuing
participation of municipal planning directors in the AHAC process, the AHAC recommends each
jurisdiction pass a resolution to commit their respective Planning Director's meet to discuss at least
twice a year to explore and implement consistent strategies for closer intergovernmental cooperation and
collaboration on workforce housing. (fomlerlg 99 a)
Note: At the March 2096 AHAC meeting the Committee agreed that * ter cooperation is a "very important" element
of the AHAC's work and tasks on workforce housing. There was agreement that the planning directors review the potential areas that
have been identified for cooperation at the Intergovernmental Roundtable and report back to their respective governing boards and the
AHAC with any recommendations or suggestions for the Committees consideration.

Agenda Item L -3
Mayor Neugent and Commissioners, I am Deb Curlee speaking for Last Stand and we support
Commissioner Kolhage's resolution for an immediate moratorium on the use of the Affordable Housing
Incentive Program (AHIP Sec. 139 -2) which would be of great benefit. Much of the controversy over the
Oceanside developement agreement stems from the questionable interpretations and implementation
of the AHIP. An immediate moratorium would suspend its misuse, pending amendment to that portion
of the code as recommended by the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee that met for close to a
year.
Thank you.
Deb Curlee, Vice President Last Stand
