ITEM BACKGROUND: As requested at the May 19th BOCC public meeting, staff is providing this update on Monroe County's remaining balance of affordable housing ROGO allocations. Following the approval of two ROGO reservations for Gorman & Company (see 4/21/2021 agenda items K-3 and K-4) at the April 2021 public meeting, there is currently a remaining balance of twenty-three (23) affordable housing ROGO allocations in Monroe County's affordable housing ROGO allocation pool that have not been either permitted or reserved for a specific development. There are several other applications that have already been submitted which are coming up for approval in the next few months, and these requests will bring the County's remaining balance of affordable housing ROGO allocations down to two 2 affordable housing ROGOs, if they are all approved. These are summarized in the below table and within the attached maps. Active Reservations Wreckers Cay, Stock Island 280 units (building permits have been issued) Dockside/Landings, Lower Sugarloaf 88 units (pending building permits) Southcliff Estates, Key Largo 28 units (pending building permits) Gorman, Cudjoe Ocean Shores 22 units (pending all permits) Gorman, Sacarma, Cudjoe Key 14 units (pending all permits) Affordable Housing ROGO Balance: units remaining Additional applications received and in progress: Dickerson Group Inc. site,Big Coppitt,request for units(reservation to be considered by BOCC on ROGO reservation submitted. 20 July 21st) Habitat for Humanity Upper Keys,building permit I unit(permit reviews completed,ROGO application reviews completed, eligible to apply for ROGO. to PC expected) Packet Pg. 2054 K.2 Anticipated Remaining Affordable Housing ROGO 2 units remaining Balance: (assuming all of the above are approved Not all reserved affordable housing ROGO allocations have been issued building permits yet, so if an affordable housing ROGO reservation previously approved by a BOCC resolution expires, the affordable housing ROGO allocations reserved by that BOCC resolution would be returned to the County's affordable housing ROGO allocation pool. Also, the Monroe County School District ("School Board") is working on permitting twenty (20) affordable housing units at Sugarloaf School, but these ROGO allocations do not come from the Monroe County BOCC's pool; these units are already held by the School Board, and, therefore, they are not featured within the foregoing calculations. For the Board's review, the attached maps include existing affordable housing, affordable housing reservations, employment facilities, private-vacant Tier III parcels within the MU, SC and UR land use (zoning) districts and the NASKW noise contours. Additionally, there is an attached table providing an estimate of the potential affordable housing development capacity (in dwelling units) within the private-vacant Tier III parcels within the MU, SC and UR land use (zoning) districts identified on these maps. There are approximately 318 private-vacant parcels which may be able to accommodate approximately 1,177 dwelling units (please note, this analysis does not include a review of habitat, concurrency, platting, or other potential factors limiting development). Simply as a comparison, staff estimates that there are 2,164 private-vacant Tier III parcels within the IS and URM land use (zoning) districts which may be able to accommodate approximately 2,164 dwelling units (please again note, this analysis does not include a review of habitat, concurrency,platting, or other potential factors limiting development). It should be noted that the figures provided herein include parcels within the Big Pine Key/No Name Key subarea which does not have any available affordable housing ROGO allocations currently remaining. The State of Florida's Department of Economic Opportunity ("DEO") and the State of Florida's Division of Emergency Management ("FDEM") will run an evacuation model of the Florida Keys after compilation of the 2020 Census data. Staff anticipates this will likely occur in late 2022/early 2023, and will require a new Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with DEO, FDEM, and the incorporated municipalities of Marathon, Islamorada, Key West, Key Colony Beach, and Layton. This will be the earliest time-frame by which the County and these other respective local governments will be able to evaluate the results generated based upon any population/vehicle changes, unit occupancy rate changes, and other factors in the inputs and assumptions utilized within the State's hurricane modeling. Until the results of the upcoming evacuation modeling are known, the local governments within the Florida Keys Area of Critical State Concern ("ACSC") must anticipate that building permit allocations may not be authorized beyond the year 2023 (2026 for Monroe County). As stated above, if the above affordable housing ROGO allocation requests are approved, then the balance of the County's affordable housing ROGO allocation pool will be two 2 remaining affordable housing ROGO allocations. Packet Pg. 2055 K.2 Monroe County's assistance in the facilitation of the development of at least 710 affordable housing dwelling units (710 units is the number of affordable housing ROGO allocations authorized by the State of Florida following its 2012 hurricane modeling results) is a significant accomplishment, as the provision and availability of affordable-workforce housing has been and continues to be a priority of the community. The housing affordability problem in the Florida Keys has widespread and significant economic impacts, including on the important link between ensuring an adequate supply of affordable- workforce housing and economic growth. Many of the business and commercial sectors within the Florida Keys, including education, health care, professional services, government, and retail, have found it more and more challenging to attract and retain a labor force. Monroe County's challenges with respect to facilitating affordable housing are many, and include: • High land/property values and fast-rising housing prices spurred by La.) strong market demand for second homes, and (b.) strong market demand for conversion of market rate housing to vacation rentals, each of which continues to limit opportunities for members of the local workforce to acquire affordable homes, reduces the supply of affordable housing available to members of the local workforce , and increases demands for affordable- workforce housing • The Florida Keys' service industry-dependent economy with a high prevalence of a low paid labor force • Limited public funding for the development of affordable-workforce housing, and the limited capacity of for-profit or not-for-profit organizations to fill gaps in public funding of affordable housing development • Geographic and environmental features that constrain the potential location of new housing • Construction costs comparatively higher relative to mainland Florida construction, due to, for example, the cost of transporting goods to and from the Florida Keys, furnishing construction labor, and challenges regarding construction and caprock • The high cost to develop in compliance with the construction and building standards required in the Florida Keys, which are among the most rigorous in Florida for in order to eliminate, limit, or mitigate life-safety risks, and to control insurance costs • The rate-limiting factor of controlled growth achieved through the Rate of Growth Ordinance ("ROGO"), due to hurricane evacuation standards, habitat protection standards and requirements, and prescribed water-quality objectives • Recently, the expiration of affordable housing deed restrictions on previously developed affordable housing (e.g., many 20-year affordable housing deed restrictions have expired, and many 30-year affordable housing deed restrictions will be expiring within the next 10-15 years) With the unknown results of the next hurricane modeling, two main focus with regard to the issue of affordable-workforce housing may be ascertaining the availability of, and taking steps to encourage, the maintenance of market rate dwelling units utilized as de facto (i.e., not affordable-workforce housing by virtue of a deed restriction) affordable housing, and ascertaining the availability of, and taking steps to encourage preservation of, soon to expire existing affordable housing-deed restrictions on existing dwelling units. Packet Pg. 2056 K.2 During the May 19, 2021, BOCC public meeting, the BOCC also discussed the possibility of holding (or reserving) the remaining balance of affordable housing ROGO allocations for scattered site development (i.e., building "few and dispersed" affordable housing units rather than building affordable housing units in concentration), and possibly for home-ownership applications. It should be noted that if the affordable housing ROGO allocation requests described above are approved, the County's balance in the affordable housing ROGO allocation pool will be two 2 affordable housing ROGO allocations. Monroe County Land Development Code Section 138-24(c) currently establishes the following criteria and eligibility for affordable housing allocations, which does not include a "scattered sites" requirement or a home-ownership (i.e., domicile/permanent residency)requirement: Monroe County Land Development Code Section 138-24 (c)Affordable housing allocation awards and eligibility. (1) The definition of affordable housing shall be as specified in Sections 101-1 and 139-1. (2)Any portion of the affordable housing allocation not used for affordable housing at the end of a ROGO year shall be made available for affordable housing for the next ROGO year. (3) No affordable housing allocation shall be awarded to applicants located within a Tier I designated area, within a V-zone on the county's flood insurance rating map, or within a Tier III-A (special protection area) designated area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding Section 138-24(a)(5), affordable housing ROGO allocations may be awarded to Tier I or Tier III-A properties which meet all of the following criteria: a. The property contains an existing market rate dwelling unit that meets the criteria in LDC Section 138-22(a) and is determined to be exempt from ROGO; b. The proposed replacement affordable dwelling unit meets current Florida Building Code and is not a mobile home; c. The proposed replacement dwelling unit shall be deed restricted for a period of at least 99 years as affordable housing pursuant to the standards of the Land Development Code; d. The proposed site plan for the replacement affordable dwelling unit does not propose any additional clearing of habitat, and e. The structure is not proposed to be within a V-zone on the county's flood insurance rating map. (4) Only affordable housing allocations for Big Pine Key may be used on Big Pine Key. No affordable housing allocation may be used on No Name Key. The Monroe County Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code provide for two options to acquire affordable allocations: W Applicants may submit ROGO allocation applications for affordable housing for the Planning Commission's quarterly allocation awards; or (2) Qualifying applicants may request an affordable housing ROGO allocation reservation approved by the BOCC. The affordable housing ROGO allocation reservation request process has specific criteria, detailed below: Section 138-24 (b)Reservation of affordable housing allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 138-26 for awarding of affordable housing allocations, the BOCC may reserve by resolution some or all of Packet Pg. 2057 K.2 the available affordable housing allocations for award to certain sponsoring ygencies or specific housing programs consistent with all other requirements of this chapter. Building permits for these reserved allocations shall be picked up within six months of the effective reservation date, unless otherwise authorized by the BOCC in its resolution. The BOCC may, at its discretion, place conditions on any reservation as it deems appropriate. These reservations may be authorized by the BOCC for: (1) The county housing authority, nonprofit community development organizations, pursuant to Section 139-1(e), and other public entities established to provide affordable housing by entering in to a memorandum of understanding with one or more of these agencies; (2) Specific affordable or employee housing projects participating in a federal/state housing financial assistance or tax credit program or receiving some form of direct financial assistance from the county upon written request from the project sponsor and approved by resolution of the BOCC,- (3) Specific affordable or employee housing projects sponsored by nongovernmental not-for-profit organizations above upon written request from the project sponsor and approved by resolution of the BOCC,- (4) Specific affordable or employee housing programs sponsored by the county pursuant to procedures and guidelines as may be established from time to time by the BOCC; (5) Specific affordable or employee housing projects by any entity, organization, or person, contingent upon transfer of ownership of the underlying land for the affordable housing project to the county, a not-for-profit community development organization, or any other entity approved by the BOCC, upon written request from the project sponsor and approved by resolution of the BOCC,- or (6) Rental employee housing projects situated on the same parcel of land as the nonresidential workplace for the tenants of these projects, upon written request from the property owner and approved by resolution of the BOCC. Upon review of the foregoing Land Development Code reservation criteria, it appears that it may be possible for the BOCC to reserve the remaining affordable housing ROGO allocations, provided the County establishes "specific affordable or employee housing programs sponsored by the County pursuant to procedures and guidelines as may be established from time to time by the BOCC." It appears the BOCC could potentially create a specific affordable or employee housing program (see LDC Section 138-4(b)(4)) reserving the affordable housing allocations for owner-occupied affordable housing applicants, limited to single family detached dwelling units on Tier III, legally platted lots (i.e. for individual scattered sites for home ownership applications). This potential creation of a specific affordable or employee housing program and reservation of the remaining affordable housing allocations pursuant to it, may need further review from the County Attorney's Office to confirm it is possible and that the process and particular details to create a specific housing program are legally sufficient. It should be noted, with the limited remaining balance of affordable housing ROGO allocations, creating a new specific affordable or employee housing program, may create a more complicated process, require more administration (i.e., time and human resources) to implement the requirements of the new program, possibly slow down the approval process for limited remaining affordable housing, and inhibit the leveraging of available State/federal funding, and may not result in a significant impact or change due to the already quite limited available allocations (if the allocation requests described above are approved, the County's balance in the affordable housing ROGO allocation pool will be two (2) affordable ROGOs).
