AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between Monroe
County and City of Marathon transferring 30 Affordable Housing ROGO Allocations from Monroe
County to the City of Marathon. This ILA is proposed by the City of Marathon (104th Street). Unit
breakdown by income levels is expected to be: 2 Very Low; 24 Low and 4 Moderate. This is not a
low income housing tax credit (LIHTC) project.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
Interlocal Agreement (ILA) request from the City of Marathon for 30 affordable housing allocations
The City has indicated that it requesting 30 allocations as follows:
2 Very Low
24 Low
4 Moderate
September 2015, the BOCC approved two ILAs with the City of Marathon providing 82
affordable allocations to the City for the development of new affordable housing (Project 1 —
Anchorage Homes was 32 low income and 4 very low income and Project 2 — Vaca Bay Seniors
was 41 low income and 5 very low income). These previous ILAs state that if the projects are
not granted tax credit funding for the FY 16-17 competitive cycle then the allocations revert back
to the County. Marathon staff has indicated that these projects have not received development
approval for the number of units requested. Additionally, Marathon staff has indicated that the
City will process items to rescind these ILAs on December 13, 2016.
The previOUs and the new COUnty Comprehensive Plan and. Code provide a mechanism to allow
the transfer of affordable hOLIsing allocations between government lUrisdictions within the
Florida Kcys Area of Critical State Concern,
Relevant Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code provisions are provided below.
Policy 101.3.10
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, ROGO allocations utilized for affordable housing
projects may be pooled and transferred between ROGO subareas, excluding the Big Pine/No Name Keys
ROGO subarea, and between local government jurisdictions within the Florida Keys Area of Critical
State Concern (ACSQ. Any such transfer between local government jurisdictions must be accomplished
through an interlocal agreement between the sending and receiving local governments.
Section 130-161(g):
Interlocal affordable rate ofgrowth allocation agreements.
The board of county commissioners may authorize interlocal agreements between the county and the
cities of Marathon, and Key West, and Islamorada, Village of Islands for the purpose of sharing
residential rate of growth affordable housing allocations. The interlocal agreements may be based upon a
specific project proposal within one or more jurisdictions or may be for a specific allocation of units on
an annual basis, from the county to a municipality or from a municipality to the county. All allocations
made available to a jurisdiction must meet the applicable affordable housing requirements of the
receiving jurisdiction's land development regulations and affordable housing ordinances.
Florida Statutes, Section 163.01, et seq., Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969:
It is the purpose of this section to permit local government units to make the most efficient use of their
powers by enabling them to cooperate with other localities on a basis of mutual advantage and thereby to
provide services and facilities in a manner and pursuant to forms of governmental organization that will
accord best with geographic, economic, population, and other factors influencing the needs and
development of local communities.
As provided for the December 61' BOCC Special Meeting to discuss affordable housing
recommendations, the presentation is attached which includes the current affordable housing ROGO
balance and an outline of the affordable housing projects in the pipeline. Requests from the
government jurisdictions will need to be balanced with the affordable housing projects in pipeline
within unincorporated Monroe County and the BOCC will determine if additional sharing of
allocations is appropriate.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
September 16, 2015- BOCC approved an Interlocal Agreement between Monroe County and the
City of Marathon transferring 41 Low and 5 Very Low Affordable Housing ROGO Allocations from
Monroe County to the City of Marathon.
The Interlocal agreement approved the transfer of Affordable Housing ROGO Allocations to the
City of Marathon for a project known as Vaca Bay Senior Apartments (Beneficial Development
LLC), contingent on the project receiving all necessary approvals from the City of Marathon by
March 15, 2015, and receiving certificate of occupancy for the affordable units related to such
allocations prior to December 31, 2019. In the event the subject project fails to obtain federal or
state housing financial assistance in the FY15-16 or FY 16-17 competitive cycles and complete
the construction as evidenced by issuance of a certificate of occupancy for all 46 units by the
City of Marathon, the ROGO allocations revert to Monroe County.
September 16, 2015- BOCC approved an Interlocal Agreement between Monroe County and the
City of Marathon transferring 32 Low and 4 Very Low Affordable Housing ROGO Allocations from
Monroe County to the City of Marathon.
The Interlocal agreement approved the transfer of Affordable Housing ROGO Allocations to the
City of Marathon for a project known as Seagrass Village (Anchorage Homes LLC), contingent
on the project receiving all necessary approvals from the City of Marathon by March 15, 2015,
and receiving certificate of occupancy for the affordable units related to such allocations prior to
December 31, 2019. In the event the subject project fails to obtain federal or state housing
financial assistance in the FY15-16 or FY 16-17 competitive cycles and complete the
construction as evidenced by issuance of a certificate of occupancy for all 46 units by the City of
Marathon, the ROGO allocations revert to Monroe County.
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT CHANGES:
n/a
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The BOCC has previously approved ILAs and discussed
providing a priority to projects providing new affordable housing units for the lower income groups
and which leverage state financial support (tax credits) so that the supply of affordable housing units
is increased within the income groups most at need. If the BOCC chooses to maintain this priority,
then this ILA is recommended as it creates new units. However, given this project is not a LIHTC
project, it doesn't leverage state funding and therefore is not as high of a priority. Given the number
of affordable allocations slated for projects in unincorporated Monroe, this may not be the primary
project fro allocations.

These projects have been approved or are seeking approval for the development of workforce
housing. Through this document, and City and County actions, the City is seeking affordable
housing allocations through an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between the City and the County.
The principal basis for the current and other requests for County affordable allocations is that the
City simply has a very limited stock. In total, through the Hurricane Evacuation MOU and
provisions of the City's LDRs, the City received sixty (60) affordable allocations for its BPAS
process (ROGO). In addition, the City also has had forty (40) affordable allocations from a
project that did not proceed, approved originally prior to the MOU. Thus the City had one
hundred (100) affordable allocations at the time of MOU development and approval. Since then,
the City has allocated all but thirty-three (33) affordable allocations. It is the City's desire to
retain the thirty-three (33) affordable allocations for pending and future individual or small ( 2 to
5) affordable projects.

In the order of the table above, the City offers the following in project summary:
Schmitt et. al.:
Pursuant to the City's Code and discussion with the County, the applicant has requested that the
City enter into an interlocal agreement (ILA) with the County to obtain thirty-four (34) low
income (80% of median) affordable allocations. The affordable allocations will be utilized to
deed restrict the same number of existing units within the City of Marathon while bringing the
units up to current building requirements to the greatest extent practicable, including provisions
of floodplain management. The City did not provide affordable housing allocations to the
project. An ILA was approved by the City in August of 2016 (Resolution 2016-67) requesting
thirty-four (34) affordable allocations. The terms of the ILA have been reviewed by both the
City and the County and define the responsibilities of both parties and the applicant. This project
will not attempt to qualify for Florida Housing Finance funds.
Crystal Cove:
Pursuant to the City's Code and discussion with the County, the applicant has requested that the
City enter into an ILA with the County to obtain forty-six (46) affordable allocations; three (3)
very -low (50% of median), (23) low income (80% of median), and twenty (20) moderate (120%
of median) affordable allocations. The project was approved by the City in September of 2016
(CU — 2016-71; DA — 2016-72) to include forty-six (46) affordable housing units and twenty-
eight (28) transient RV sites (sphatially separated) with amenities for either project component at
a location between 481' and 501Streets, Gulf in Marathon. The City did not provide affordable
housing allocations to the project. An ILA for the project was approved by the City in
November 2016. The terms of the ILA have been reviewed by the City. The County has been
provided copies of the document. The ILA defines the responsibilities of both parties and the
applicant. This project will be submitted for approval of Florida Housing Finance funds.
Casa de Palmas (Keys Affordable Development Phase III);
Pursuant to the City's Code and discussion with the County, the applicant has requested that the
City enter into an ILA with the County to obtain fifty-five (55) affordable allocations; three (3)
very -low (50% of median) and fifty-two (52) low (80% of median) affordable allocations. The
project is currently under review by the City and will be presented to the Planning Commission
on December 5, 2016 and to the City Council on December 13, 2016. The project applicants are
seeking approval for fifty-five (55) affordable housing units with amenities at a location between
471' and 48t' Streets, Gulf in Marathon. City staff has reviewed the project favorably and has
briefed both the Planning Commission and City Council about the project pending the upcoming
hearings. The City will not provide affordable housing allocations to the project. An ILA for the
project will be included in the project review at the City Council December 13, 2016. The terms
of the ILA have been reviewed by the City and the County has been provided copies of the

document. The ILA defines the responsibilities of both parties and the applicant. This project
will be submitted for approval of Florida Housing Finance funds.
Seaward Properties Redevelopment:
Pursuant to the City's Code and discussion with the County, the applicant has requested that the
City enter into an ILA with the County to obtain forty-five (45) affordable allocations; eight (8)
low (80% of median), thirty-three (33) median (100% of median), and four (4) moderate (120%
of median) affordable allocations. The project is currently under review by the City and will be
presented to the Planning Commission on December 5, 2016 and to the City Council on
December 13, 2016. The project applicants are seeking approval for forty-five (45) affordable
housing units and ten (10) market rate residential units with amenities for either project
component at a location between 861' and 881' Streets, Ocean in Marathon. The project
integrates with the same developer's project approvals for the Florida Keys Resort (a.k.a. -
Sombrero Country Club). At that site, the developer will be re -developing eight (8) workforce
housing units which it will deed restrict as very -low. (50% of median). City staff has reviewed
the project favorably and has briefed both the Planning Commission and City Council about the
project pending the upcoming hearings. The City will not provide affordable housing allocations
to the project. However, the applicant has eight (8) units of its own which, as noted, will be
reconstructed at the golf course. The ILA for the project will be included in the project review at
the City Council December 13, 2016. The terms of the ILA have been reviewed by the City.
The County has been provided copies of the document. The ILA defines the responsibilities of
both parties and the applicant. This project will not be submitted for approval of Florida
Housing Finance funds.
City of Marathon:
The City of Marathon will develop its property at 1041' Street as a workforce housing project.
The City is seeking thirty (30) affordable allocations, two (2) very -low (50% of median), twenty-
four (24) low, and four (moderate (120% of median to complete the project development. A
project representing forty (40) moderate affordable residential units was approved in 2008
(Resolution 2008-65) prior to the down -turn in the economy at which point it was placed on
hold. With a return in a favorable economy, the City will now move forward with the
development of thirty (30) units as noted above. At that juncture, the site plan for the project
will be modified downward to reflect the new number. An ILA has been provided to the County
in a form similar to those proposed for other projects.
The City of Marathon, as the County, is a strong advocate for the development of new workforce
housing projects and the redevelopment of older deteriorating units as workforce housing. The
City of Marathon provides an ideal location for the development of workforce housing projects
as it is centrally located providing housing to those working in Marathon and the lower or middle
Florida Keys. Further, impediments to development are minimal as most size appropriate
properties have been previously developed and require little or no environmental restrictions.

The City has worked through the development of three major projects recently and two hotel
projects which require inclusionary housing elements. Eighty-four (84) units at Seagrape
Apartment and have been occupied since the Spring of 2009. These are HUD limited units.
Keys Affordables Phase I & II are nearing completion. One building is complete and occupied.
One building just received a Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.) and renters are beginning to move
in at this time. The third building in the two projects will begin construction in the immediate
future. When complete, the project will provide seventy-one (71) units of affordable housing.
Keys Affordables Phases I & II has been the recipient of Florida Housing Finance funds for the
past two years. They are working on a third project within the City this year (Casa de Palmas —
a.k.a. — Keys Affordables Phase III). Tarpon Harbour also recently completed its project and
provides thirty-one (31) duplex units of moderate income housing. Thus the City has seen the
development of 217 new affordable residential units within the City as a result of these projects.
Amongst the five approved hotel projects in town, combined they will provide an additional
fifty-five (55) units of workforce housing. The Hyatt and Marriott are complete. The Knight's
Key, Hampton, and Holiday Inn Expansion projects are either under construction or approaching
the point of initiating construction. Quite a number of Habitat For Humanity Houses have been
approved and are either complete or in various stages of construction.
The City brings five (5) projects forward at this time as noted above. These projects are
approved or will be approved at the December 13, 2016 City Council meeting. These projects
will immediately (within the limits of construction time) provide an additional one hundred fifty
(155) to one hundred sixty-four (164) workforce housing units within the City. Note, that since
two of the five projects are competing for Florida Housing Finance funds. One or the other
project will likely win approval, but not both.
Finally, the City will likely rescind the approvals of two (2) ILAs approved approximately one
year ago for Vaca Bay Seniors and Anchor Homes. Vaca Bay Seniors, though moving forward
to the City Council for review in December, will have a unanimous recommendation of denial
from the City Planning Commission. Anchor Homes has not proceeded forward with project
development and the City will recommend that the ILA be rescinded for that project as well.
Action to rescind these approvals would occur at the December 13, 2016 City Council meeting
after discussion with the City Council and only if the City takes affirmative action on the
Planning Commission's recommendation concerning Vaca Bay Seniors.
Should you need additional information, do not hesitate to contact me. I am providing an
abbreviated version of the City's affordable housing project spreadsheet which only identifies the
two prior ILAs and the five ILAs that the City is seeking at this time.
Sincerely,
CITY OF MARATHON, FLORIDA

Re: December 14, 2016 Agenda Items H5-H9: City of Marathon affordable housing ILAs

Agenda items H5-H9 concerning the transferal of various levels of affordable housing ROGOs are all
legally sufficient; in other words, these proposed Interlocal Agreements (ILAs) are, if accepted,
adequate to accomplish a transfer of affordable housing ROGOs from the County to the City.
However, I must bring to your attention that certain of these proposed ILAs' substantive provisions
differ significantly from the standard language typically employed in County -City ILAs of this kind.
While this significant departure from standard practice does raise concerns, such deviation does not
render these proposed ILAs contrary to law. The purpose of this Memorandum is to, therefore,
document these concerns pre-eimptively, in order to ensure that they receive adequate consideration
beforehand, and to eliminate the risk of having to address therm after -the -fact.
In addition to these deviations from past standard practice (addressed more fully below), a concern to
coimimon to these ILAs collectively is their general proposition that the County surrender its
affordable housing ROGO allocations to other entities in exchange for nothing in return. As the
County has only a finite number of ROGO allocations to award (currently 692), and as the anticipated
2023 ROGO allocation expiration date nears, the County's renunciation of its ROGO allocations to
other entities gratis may impair the County's ability to mitigate takings claims and hamstring the
County's ability to promote non-residential inclusionary housing development(s) pursuant to
provisions recently added to the Monroe County Code(s).
This being said, such considerations are, admittedly, of a policy variety, and the BOCC is empowered
to divest itself of affordable housing ROGO allocations in any manner it believes best serves the
County's interests.
Turning to the specific concerns earlier alluded to as departing from standard practice, these are as
follows:
• No Finite Tenm(s)/Infinite Tenm(s): Two of the ILAs (H-5 and H-8) contain terms of
limitless duration, and contain no reversionary clauses that would enable the County to
recapture its affordable ROGOs if not timely used. Such language could, in effect, enable
the City to keep even unused affordable ROGOs forever.
• No Severability Clauses: These clauses, which have been standard in our past ILAs with the
City, state that if a part of an ILA is held to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, that the
remainder of the ILA shall remain legal and enforceable.

• No Requirement to Comply with the Florida Building Code: Standard language requiring
that development using the County's affordable housing ROGOs must meet the Florida
Building Code (FBC) is missing. Although compliance with the FBC is presumptively
required by statute and within the City's jurisdiction, it is unclear for what purpose this
standard provision has been omitted.
Exhibits: The proposed ILA in Item H-5 doesn't contain site plans necessary to delineate 3
which existing residential dwelling units within the City are to be preserved as affordable
housing, or contain an unlabeled featuring federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
income limits which such exhibit's corresponding ILA neither incorporates nor explains 00
how it operates together with the ILA. Separately, this proposed ILA does not contain
language reflecting that such HUD income limits shall apply as they are amended by HUD,
from time to time.
