AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval of a contract with RRC Associates to (1) conduct a data-
based survey of employers located in the unincorporated and incorporated parts of Monroe County
to verify the employment patterns and the building floor area used for nonresidential development,
and to (2) prepare the prototypical workforce/affordable housing unit(s), including size ranges,
building materials and costs of construction, to be utilized by the County for the adoption of
inclusionary housing requirements to address nonresidential and transient development; for a fixed
price, not-to-exceed contract of $49,171.00.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The Monroe County Land Development Code defines Inclusionary
development and/or redevelopment of a parcel where provisions of approved development
agreements or orders implement and promote affordable and/or employee housing goals, objectives
and policies contained in the plan by requiring set-asides for affordable and/or employee housing
Current County regulations provide for an inclusionary housing requirement for residential
developments that result in the development or redevelopment of three (3) or more dwelling units [or
ten or more mobile homes] to develop or redevelop at least 30 percent of the units as affordable
housing units to implement Goal 601 of the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan and to ensure that
the need for affordable housing is not exacerbated by new residential development and
redevelopment of existing affordable housing stock.
The County does not have an inclusionary housing requirement for the development or
redevelopment of nonresidential uses (office, retail, hotels, etc). To develop and adopt inclusionary
housing requirements for the nonresidential sector to build workforce housing, appropriate data and
analysis is necessary to establish the workforce need generation and a rational nexus of need
generation and affordable mitigation needs to be developed to support the ordinance.
In 2003, the BOCC adopted Ordinance 030-2003 to establish inclusionary housing requirements
(amending Section 9.5-266(b)) for projects consisting of three or more market rate units to develop

at least 30% of the residential units beyond the firth two units as affordable.
In 2006, the BOCC adopted Ordinance 017-2006 revising the inclusionary housing requirements to
include: 1) market rate residential development or redevelopment of three or more dwelling units
shall be required to develop or redevelop at least 30% of the residential units as affordable housing,
and 2) the removal, replacement or conversion of 10 or more mobile homes shall be required to
develop or redevelop at least 30% of the residential units as affordable housing.
In 2008, the BOCC adopted Ordinance 011-2008 revising the inclusionary housing requirements to
allow an alternative compliance to the inclusionary housing requirements by allowing the developers
to deed restrict existing dwelling units as affordable housing in lieu of constructing new affordable
units.
In 2008, the Monroe County Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) was established to
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. Pages 4 and 5 of the
report provide the suggested duties.
Per Section 7-nsibilities
related to affordable housing at the request of the BOCC, including creating best management
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
assisting in developing inclusionary housing requirements for the hospitality and commercial sector
to build workforce housing.
On April 13, 2016, the BOCC adopted the 2030 Comprehensive Plan which includes Policy
regulations on inclusionary housing and shall evaluate expanding the inclusionary housing
requirements to include or address nonresidential and transient development and redevelopment
Additionally, Section 125.01055, F. S., Affordable
housing.Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a county may adopt and maintain in effect
any law, ordinance, rule, or other measure that is adopted for the purpose of increasing the supply of
affordable housing using land use mechanisms such as inclusionary housing ordinances.

In January 2015, the AHAC adopted Resolution 03-2015 recommending that the Board of County
Commissioners support the County funding and completing a workforce housing study to support
development of inclusionary housing requirements for the hospitality and commercial sector to build
workforce housing.
In July 2016, the AHAC adopted Resolution 01-2016 providing 33 recommendations to the Board of
County Commissioners to facilitate the provision of workforce housing, including that the BOCC
support and fund a nexus study as the first step in the expansion of the current County residential
inclusionary housing program to cover transient and commercial development in the County.
