These LCPs identify activity centers that encourage the development of affordable housing near identified mixed use and employment centers. Proposed amendments to the Land Development Code also incorporate these areas as community center zoning overlay districts.

[9J-5.010(3)(c)(5)] Responsible Agency: Monroe County Planning& Environmental Resources Department L. Name of Strategy: Inclusionary Housing Established policy and procedure: Per Section 130-161(b)(2) of the Land Development Code: 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. Residential development or redevelopment of three units on a parcel or contiguous parcels shall require that one developed or redeveloped unit be an affordable housing unit. For the purpose of this section, and notwithstanding subsection (b)(2)b. of this section, any dwelling unit exceeding the number of lawfully established dwelling units on site, which are created by either a THE or ROGO allocation award, shall be considered developed units. 19 b.The removal and replacement with other types of dwelling units of ten or more mobile homes that are located on a parcel or contiguous parcels and/or the conversion of mobile home spaces located on a parcel or contiguous parcels into a use other than mobile homes shall be required to include in the development or redevelopment a number of affordable housing units equal to at least 30 percent of the number of existing units being removed and replaced or converted from mobile home use or, in the event the new use is nonresidential,to develop affordable housing units at least equal in number to 30 percent of the number of mobile homes or mobile home spaces being converted to other than mobile home use. Removal and replacement or,,, conversion to a different use of ten mobile homes or mobile home spaces on a parcel or contiguous parcels shall require that three units be replaced or converted to deed- restricted affordable housing. c. In 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)(2)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. Responsible Agency: Monroe County Planning& Environmental Resources Department Recommendation: Monroe County shall maintain land development regulations on inclusionary housing and shall evaluate expanding the inclusionary housing requirements to include or address nonresidential and transient development and redevelopment based on specific data and analysis. M. Name of Strategy: Mobile Home Park Incentive Program Established policy and procedure:Section 130-161.1 of the Land Development Code establishes incentives for affordable housing development by allowing the transfer of market rate ROGO exemptions within the ROGO subarea from mobile home parks in exchange for maintaining an equal or greater number of deed-restricted affordable dwelling units within Monroe County. Recommendation: Consider amending the Land Development Code to allow incentives for a market rate unit to obtain an affordable ROGO allocation and move the market rate unit to another site through a transfer of ROGO Exemption (TRE) if the existing site will be deed restricted for 99 years as affordable. Responsible Agency: Monroe County Planning& Environmental Resources Department 20 N. Name of Strategy: Employee Housing, Commercial Apartments,and Workforce Housing as Permitted Uses Established policy and procedure:The Monroe County Land Development Code currently permits "Employee Housing" and/or"Commercial Apartments" in several Land Use (Zoning) Districts where residential units are not otherwise permitted. Per Section 101-1 of the code: Employee housing means an attached or detached dwelling unit that is intended to serve as affordable, permanent housing for working households, which derive at least 70 percent of their household income from gainful employment in the county and meet the requirements for affordable housing as defined in this section and as per section 130-161. Commercial apartment means an attached or detached residential dwelling unit located on the same parcel of land as a nonresidential use that is intended to serve as permanent housing for the owner or employees of that nonresidential use. The term does not include a tourist housing use or vacation rental use. Responsible Agency: Monroe County Planning& Environmental Resources Department Recommendation:The definition and permitted uses sections of the Monroe County Code should be amended to incorporate the AHAC's (Affordable Housing Advisory Committee) proposed definitions of"Workforce" and "Workforce Housing" and include Workforce Housing as a permitted use in all zoning districts that currently permit either Commercial Apartments or Employee Housing.The goal is to encourage Workforce Housing within existing commercial centers and zoning districts, but to not require Workforce Housing residents to work on the site where the housing is located. AHAC proposed definitions: Workforce means individuals or families who are gainfully employed supplying goods and/or services to Monroe County residents or visitors. 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. 0.
