Item H3BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Meeting Date: September 17, 2014 Division: Growth Management Bulk Item: Yes X No — Department: Planning & Environmental Resources Staff Contact /Phone #: Christine Hurley, Ext. 2517 AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of an Interlocal Agreement between Monroe County and the City of Marathon Transferring Affordable Housing Allocations, according to a prior approval by the BOCC of an agreement with Little Palm Cottages, LLC. ITEM BACKGROUND: Little Palm Cottages, LLC constructed a 48 unit development on property which was formerly Lucky's Landing at 133 Barry Avenue, Little Torch Key. The project is now called Little Torch Cottages. There were 48 market rate exemptions associated with the property. The County entered into an agreement with Little Palm Cottages, LLC on July 17, 2013 in which the developer agreed to deed restrict 14 units to comply with the affordable housing inclusionary housing requirements (30% of 48 = 14.4) The County agreed to allow the 14 allocations to be transferred off the property to another entity, and allow the 14 units to revert to market rate, if the developer built inclusionary housing off site consistent with Chapter 130, section 130-161 Affordable & Employee Housing Administration (b) Inclusionary housing requirements (4) Alternate compliance and (c) Linkage of projects. Because the total number of housing units constructed by the developer is 48 market rate units on the Little Torch site, plus 14 off site affordable units, totaling 62 units, the total number of inclusionary units is calculated at 30% of 62, which necessitates 18.6 units, rounded up to 19, the new affordable housing requirement. The County by Resolution 208A-2013 reserved 19 affordable housing allocations to be used by Little Palm, LLC at another location. Transfer of the 19 affordable allocations to the City of Marathon is allowed for allocation to the developer or its assignee if approved by inter local agreement pursuant to section 130-161(g). Upon Certificate of Occupancy of the 19 affordable units, the deed restriction at the Little Torch Cottages project may be released. The agreement for transfer of the units was approved by the City of Marathon August 26, 2014. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: July 17, 2013 Approval of an Agreement between Little Palm Cottages, LLC to reserve affordable housing ROGO allocations, formalize an alternative compliance to the inclusionary housing requirement/linkage of project plan, and provide little Palm Cottages, LLC with authorization to qualify applicants for affordable housing.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING OCCUPANCY This Agreement to reserve affordable housing ROGO allocations consistent with Monroe County Code (MCC) §138-24(b), formalize an alternative compliance consistent with MCC §130-161(b)(4) / linkage of project plan consistent with MCC §130-161(c), and provide Little Palm Cottages, LLC with authorization to qualify applicants for affordable housing occupancy consistent with MCC § 130-161(f)(8)c. ("Agreement") is entered into this 1 � day of , 2013 ("Agreement Date"), between LITTLE PALM COTTAGES, LLC ("Appli t") and MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA ("County"). I. RECITALS A. Applicant owns real property located at 133 Barry Avenue, Little Torch Key, Monroe County, as more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto, "the Property." B. As of the date of this Agreement, the Property, which consists of approximately 3.55 acres of upland area, was developed with four (4) single-family residences, in the form of three (3) detached residential dwelling units and one (1) mobile home. C. Monroe County recognizes 48 ROGO exemptions as being associated with the Property. The Property was previously used a mobile home park, known as Lucky's Landing Trailer Park. Of the 48 recognized ROGO exemptions, 45 were associated with mobile homes (44 of which were demolished in 2007) and 3 are associated with the existing single-family detached residential dwelling units. D. Applicant desires to construct 48 residential dwelling units for rental on the Property. Applicant wishes to raze 3 of the 4 single-family residences on the Property, and convert 1 of the single-family residences on the Property into a clubhouse to serve the 48 residential dwelling units (hereinafter, the "Project"). Applicant submitted to the County Planning and Environmental Resources Department a Request for Minor Conditional Use Permit application (Planning Department Pile #2013-033) for the Project ("Applicant's Request for Minor Conditional Use"), and on May 23, 2013, the Monroe County Director of Planning and Environmental Resources issued Development Order #02-13 approving Applicant's Request for Minor Conditional Use, provided as Exhibit `B." E. Pursuant to the County's inclusionary housing requirements, MCC §130- 161(b)(2)b., 30% of the 45 residential dwelling units which are being converted from prior mobile home use are required to be developed as affordable housing. Pursuant to MCC §130- Revised July 2, 2013 Doc# 1947413 Ski! 2646 P9N 1728 161(b)(2)a., 30% of the 3 residential dwelling units which are being converted from prior non. mobile home residential use are required to be developed as affordable housing. Therefore, for a Project of 48 total residential dwelling units, 14 residential dwelling units are required to be deed -restricted as affordable housing (30% of 48 = 14.4). F. The County finds that the Project's 14 affordable housing units (provided either on -site or off site) advances Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Goal 601 by providing new, safe, decent, and structurally sound affordable housing. Additionally, the County finds that the Project advances Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Objective 601.3 by replacing prior substandard mobile home residential uses while also enhancing the County's existing housing stock. Additionally, the County finds that the auditing and reporting requirements required of the Provider (as that term is more specifically defined in section V) advances Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Policy 601.1.15 related to monitoring affordable housing eligibility. G. As detailed in a May 21, 2013 staff report to the Monroe County Planning Commission, excluding the Big Pine Key and No Name Key ROGO subarea, the County had 262 affordable housing ROGO allocations available as of that date for reservation pursuant to MCC §138-24(b) (168 of which were classified as very low / low / median -income eligible and 94 of which were classified as moderate -income eligible). H. The purpose of this Agreement is to govern the logistics of the Project's ROGO component by: (i) allowing the application of MCC §130-161, to permit Applicant to meet "alternative compliance" and/or "link" any off -site deed -restricted affordable housing units to the on -site Project as contemplated herein, (ii) allow the application of MCC §130-161(b)(4), Alternative compliance, and MCC §130-161(c), Linkage of projects, to allow Applicant to link 19 off -site units with the Project to achieve the inclusionary housing requirements of MCC §130-161(b), and (iii) designating Provider as an approved non -governmental organization to oversee administration of the Applicant's affordable housing units. 1. Except as expressly outlined herein, this Agreement does not approve any development of property and does not waive any development approvals. J. As more particularly outlined in Article VI(B), below, this Agreement shall become effective only after all appeal periods related to any Order associated with Applicant's Request for Minor Conditional Use have run. II. RESERVATION OF 19 AFFORDABLE HOUSING ROGO ALLOCATIONS BY MONROE COUNTY A. Applicant requests Monroe County to "reserve" 19 affordable housing moderate - income ROGO allocations so that up to 14 of the Project's affordable housing units may "revert" to market rate units if and when Applicant uses the reserved affordable housing ROGO units at another approved location(s) within 35 miles of the Project's location, excluding a location on Big Pine Key or No Name Key. Applicant acknowledges that use at locations within the cities of Key West, Marathon and/or Key Colony Beach will require approval by the Board of County Commissioners and execution of an appropriate interlocal agreement. For every 4 off -site units Revised July 2, 2013 0=0 1941413 SkU 2646 Pgp 1729 which are granted certificates of occupancy and deed restricted as affordable housing, the County will release 3 of the affordable housing units on the Property from the Project's Affordable Housing Deed Restriction. Once 12 of the affordable housing units on the Property have been released from the Project's Affordable Housing Deed Restriction, 3 additional off -site units must be constructed and granted certificates of occupancy and deed restricted in order for the final 2 deed restricted affordable housing units on the Property to be released from the Project's Affordable Housing Deed Restriction. In the event, Applicant opts to construct only a partial amount of the 14 off -site units, the following table provides the required total of affordable housing units for each scenario: Number of Off Site Units Number of Total Units Required Total of Affordable Housing Units (30 Percent 0 48 14 14.4 1 49 15 14.7 2 50 15 15.0 3 51 15 (15.3 4 52 16 15.6 5 53 16 15.9 6 54 16 16.2 7 55 17 16.5 8 56 17 16.8 9 57 17 17.1 10 58 17 17.4 11 59 18 17. 12 60 18 L18.9 13 61 18 18.3 14 62 1908.6) fi As required m MUC: Section 13U-1b1(b)(2)(c), only tractional requirements equal to or greater than .5 shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. B, Monroe County shall hereby reserve, by separate resolution of the Board of County Commissioners as required by MCC § 138-24(b), 19 affordable housing moderate income (as defined in MCC § 110-1) ROGO allocations for linkage to the Project ("Reserved Units). If located in unincorporated Monroe County, Applicant shall comply with all regulations in the Monroe County Code concerning the location and construction of affordable housing. If located in unincorporated Monroe County, no units shall be constructed on Big Pine or No Name Keys, within a Tier I designated area, within a V-zone on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's flood insurance rating map, or within. a Tier III -A (special protection area) designated area if clearing is proposed for any portion of an upland native habitat patch of one acre or greater in area. If located in an incorporated area of Monroe County, Applicant shall comply with all regulations in the pertinent municipality concerning the location and construction of affordable housing. C. Upon completion of the Project's residential units, and recordation of an appropriate deed restriction recognizing the designation of 14 of the Project's on -site residential dwelling units as affordable, the Project shall be deemed to have met the inclusionary affordable 3 Revised July 2, 2013 Docfl 1947413 6kp 2646 Poo 1730 housing congruency requirement of MCC § 130-161(b). A copy of the approved deed restriction to be recorded upon completion of the Project is attached hereto as Exhibit "C." 111. APPROVAL OF ALTERNATIVE, COI PLL ,NCE(I..INKAGE OF OFF -SITE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS A. Linkage of inclusionary affordable housing is permitted in the MCC. Applicant is seeking the'ability, at some future date, to construct up to 19 affordable housing units off -site and link them to the market -rate housing units that are on -site. In order to accomplish this request, Applicant seeks the County reserve 19 of its available affordable housing ROGO allocations (moderate); one for each of the 14 affordable housing units required to be built as part of the Project of 48 total on -site units plus a maximum additional of 5 for the additional affordable housing units needed to meet the 30% requirement if a larger on -site project, fully market -rate is constructed or converted (48 on -site market -rate units + 14 off -site affordable units = 62 total units, 30% of 62 = 18.6). This reservation is to allow Applicant, at some future date but within the timeframe set forth herein and in the affordable housing reservation resolution, to use such reserved affordable housing ROGO allocations at other locations within the County as allowed and provided in section II(A). Specifically, once the Project is completed on the Property, Applicant may build up to 19 off --site affordable housing units for "linkage" of such off -site affordable units to the Project. B. In the event Applicant does desire to construct affordable housing units off -site, Applicant seeks the County's approval for such off -site affordable housing units to constitute adequate and appropriate "linkage" as contemplated in MCC §130-161(c). Since such linkage would occur, if at all, after the completion of the Project, and since Applicant seeks to accomplish such linkage by constructing up to 19 off -site units, Applicant also seeks the County, pursuant to MCC §130-161(b)(3), to adjust the requirements of MCC §130-161 to accommodate the flexibility Applicant seeks in providing deed -restricted affordable housing units as more particularly described herein. C. To be consistent with the reservation resolution required by section II(B), Applicant has through and until December 31, 2021 ("Linkage Period") in which to apply for and receive building permits authorizing Applicant to construct up to 19 affordable housing units at other off -site, approved locations within the County ("Off site Units"). D. As it is not technically a transfer of a ROGO exemption, Minor Conditional Use approval will not be required for construction of the Off -site Units. However, all other applicable site development approvals shall be required for construction of such Off -site Units. A Conditional Use shall be required if the land use district of the site(s) where the Off -site Units are to be located requires such a Conditional Use approval for the use, E. Within the Linkage Period, Applicant, or Applicant's assignee, may, but shall not be required to, use all or any portion of the 19 Reserved Affordable Allocations to construct the Off site Units at another approved location(s) within 35 miles of the Project's location, excluding a location on Big Pine Key or No Name Key, pursuant to section II(A) of this agreement, E Revised July 2, 2013 Doeg 1947413 9kII 2546 Pgp 1731 F. Linkage of the Reserved Affordable Allocations for the Off -site Units will count as the inclusionary affordable housing requirement only for the Project, except that if Applicant (or Applicant's affiliate or assignee) constructs more than the 19 Off -site Units contemplated herein, any affordable housing units constructed in excess of the Off -site Units may, upon receipt of appropriate approvals, count toward linkage for another project. G. In the event Applicant does use any or all of the 19 Reserved Affordable Allocations as contemplated herein, and either Applicant or Applicant's assignee constructs such affordable Off -site Units related to such allocations, the County shall release from the Project's on -site affordable housing unit deed restriction the affordability designation of the Project's units as described herein in section I(D of this agreement. The County's obligation to release the Project's units from the deed restriction shall arise upon the completion of the construction of such affordable Off -site Units and the recordation of the appropriate affordable housing deed restriction(s) for such affordable Off -site Units. H. In the event Applicant does not receive building permits and use the linkage provisions within the Linkage Period, the "reserved status" of any remaining Reserved Affordable Allocations shall cease. IV. BOCC APPROVAL OF ADJUSTMENT TO SECTION 130-161 REQUIREMENTS TO ACCOMMODATE LINKAGE A. Applicant also desires the County, pursuant to MCC §130-161(f)(8), to approve the designation of (i) Applicant, (ii) Lincoln Apartment Management Limited Partnership (Applicant's property management company), and (iii) Eastwind Little Palm, LLC (the managing member of Applicant) (collectively and/or individually, "Provider"), as non- governmental organization(s) approved as an affordable housing provider. Upon such approval, Provider shall be responsible to ensure that all affordable housing units located at the Property or elsewhere are administered and operated pursuant to, and consistent with, the requisites of MCC § 130-161, and all applicable deed restrictions. B. The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners ("BOCC"), pursuant to MCC § 130-161(b)(3), specifically finds and concludes that the Project furthers the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the purposes and intent of the County's inclusionary housing requirement through means other than a strict application of the requirements of MCC§§130- 161(b)(2)(c) and 130-161(c)--(regarding unit computation and linkage ). Specifically, allowing Applicant to use Reserved Units to construct affordable Off -site Units as contemplated herein will further the County's policies regarding replacing mobile home parks with new permanent residential rental structures, while at the same time promoting affordable housing. V. 30CC DESIGNATION OF PROVIDER AS APPROVED NON -GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY TO OVERSEE AFFORDABILITY RESTRICTIONS A. Pursuant to MCC §130-161(f)(8)(c), a non -governmental organization approved by the BOCC as an affordable housing provider may enter into a written agreement with the County's Planning Director to authorize the non -governmental entity to administer the eligibility S Revised July 2, 2013 Doen 1947413 3kp 2645 P99 1732 and compliance requirements of affordable housing units which restrictions appear in MCC § 130-161, and applicable deed restrictions. B. Provider has established sufficient competence to serve as an approved non- governmental entity as contemplated in MCC §130-161(f)(8). Specifically, the principals of Provider have extensive experience in operating affordable housing, have shown competency and understanding of the appropriate deed restrictions and requirements of the County's Affordable Housing Ordinances, and the Provider is otherwise competent and responsible to serve in the capacity as an approved affordable housing provider, C. Provider shall qualify all potential residents of any affordable housing unit contemplated herein, and shall on June 1st of each year annually verify the employment and/or income eligibility of tenants pursuant to MCC § 13 0-16 1 (f)(2). D. Provider shall, by December 315t of each calendar year, provide written certification to the County's Planning Department certifying that tenants of each affordable housing unit contemplated herein meet the applicable employment and income requirements as required by MCC § 130-161(f)(2). E. Provider shall comply with all applicable portions of the Monroe County Code and use the Monroe County Affordable Housing requirements in qualifying tenants. F. Any successor Providers shall provide evidence acceptable to the Planning Director of their qualifications. Following acceptance of the qualifications by the Planning Director, the new Provider must be approved by the Board of County Commission within 60 days of a formal request to change Provider. G. Applicant acknowledges that documents it receives in connection with providing affordable housing may be public records under Florida law.

(b)Incluslarary housing requirements. (1)Purpose and intent. The purpose of this subsection (b), consistent with Goal 601 of the plan, is to ensure that the need for affordable housing is not exacerbated by new residential development and redevelopment of existing affordable housing stock. The intent of this subsection is to protect the existing affordable housing stock, to permit owners of mobile homes and mobile home spaces to continue established mobile home uses consistent with current building and safety standards and regulations and to ensure that. as residential development, redevelopment and mobile home conversions occur, plan policies regarding affordable housing are implemented. (2)Applicabi€ity. Except as provided in subsection (b)(3) of this section, the inclusionary housing requirements set forth below shall apply. Determinations regarding the applicability of this subsection shall be made by the planning director. For purposes of calculating the number of affordable units required by this subsection, density bonuses shall not be counted and only fractional requirements equal to or greater than .5 shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. a.Residential developments, other than mobile home or mobile home spaces covered by subsection (b)(2)b. of this section, that result in the development or redevelopment of three or more dwelling units on a parcel or contiguous parcels shall be required to develop or redevelop at least 30 percent of the residential units as affordable housing units.

Removal and replacement or conversion to a different use of ten mobile homes or mobile home spaces or a parcei or contiguous parcels shall require that three units be replaced or converted to deed -restricted affordable housing. e.ln calculating the number of affordable housing units required for a particular project, or phase of a project, all dwelling units proposed for development or redevelopment or mobile homes or mobile home spaces to be converted from mobile home use since the effective date of the ordinance from which this section is derived shall be counted. In phased projects, the affordable housing requirements shall be proportionally allocated among the phases. If a subsequent development or redevelopment is proposed following a prior development approved on the same property as it existed as of the effective date of the ordinance from which this section is derived, which prior development did not meet the compliance thresholds set forth in subsection (b)(2)a. or (b)(2)b, of this section, the requirements of subsection (b)(2)a. or (b) 12)b. of this section shall be met as part of the subsequent development for all units proposed for development or redevelopment after the effective date of the ordinance from which this section is derived.

Any petitioner for relief hereunder shall provide evidentiary and legal justification for any reduction, adjustment or waiver of any requirements under this section. (4)Alternate compliance. a.Compliance with this subsection may be achieved through the deed -restriction of existing dwelling units requiring that the affected units remain subject to the county's affordable housing restrictions for a period not less than the period prescribed in subsection (5)(c)3., below, according to administrative procedures established by the county. The following example is set forth to illustrate potential application options: Example: Ownerldeveloper has 100 development rights • Option 1: Ownerldeveloper may build up to 70 market rate units and shall build 30 affordable units (using conventional compliance method.) The owner's 100 development rights yield a ratio of 70 market rate units and 30 affordable units. • Option 2: Ownerldeveloper may build up to 70 market rate units and shall purchase and deed -restrict 30 existing market rate units (in lieu cf building 30 new affordable units.) The owner's 100 development rights again yield a ratio of 70 market rate units to 30 affordable units. • Option 3: Ownerldeveloper may build up to 100 new market rates. If the developer wishes to use all 100 development rights for market rate development, his inclusionary compliance requirement to purchase and deed -restrict existing market rate units increases, and in this case for example, calculates to 43 total affordable units. (The owner's 100 development rights yield a ratio of too market rate b.units to 43 affordable units, which is equivalent to the ratio of 70 market rates to 30 affordables: 100143 = 70l30.) In -lieu fees. The developer of a project subject to the requirements of this subsection (b) may contribute a fee in -lieu of the inclusionary housing requirements for all or a percentage of the affordable housing units required by subsection (b)(2). The developer shall pay per unit in -lieu fees the current maximum sales price far a one -bedroom affordable unit as established under section 130-161(a). All in -lieu fees shall be deposited into the affordable housing trust fund and spent solely for the purposes allowed for that fund. The developer, along with any corresponding in -lieu fees, shall transfer to the county ownership of the associated ROGO-exempt development rights for any affordable units) required by this section for which the in -lieu fee option is used. c1and donation.

The county shall retain any bond money or guaranties in escrowuntil the affordable housing is completed, or for a period of three years, whichever comes first. Upon the issuance of certificates of occupancy for the affordable housing units, the county shall release to the developer any bonds or guaranties relating to the portion of the inclusionary housing requirement satisfied.
