The Less than Fee Program goal is to purchase Development Rights from owners of lots zoned IS, IS-M and
URM adjacent to the seller's primary residence. Property owners can continue to use the land for accessory
structures permitted by county land use regulations, such as a pool, open yard, or garage. °i

Community Development Block Grant/Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Voluntary Home Buyout
Program Staff Contact: Cynthia Guerra 305-453-8756
Packet Pg. 1544
The Voluntary Home Buyout Program (VHBP) goal is to purchase property damaged by Hurricane Irma using a
$15 million grant from the State of Florida after Hurricane Irma, to eliminate future flood risk and assist
vulnerable populations in low-moderate income areas.
As of December 31, 2021, 71 VHBP applications have been received by staff and the County's consultants, Tetra
Tech. As of December 31, 2021, 20 of those VHBP applications were actively being processed, the remaining 51
either voluntarily withdrew or were deemed ineligible. Based on current program participation, staff has
estimated the county will expend just over $7 million of the $15 million grant. Outreach for new participants
began in October 2021, and staff estimates an additional 15 purchase contracts would be needed to exhaust the EQ
available grant funds,which needs to occur before the grant term ends in June 2023. Since October 2021,we have U
received 12 new participant registrations, 9 of which were eligible to continue.
0
The first four VHBP purchase contracts were approved by BOCC in January. Additional contracts will be -
processed for Board approval in February 2022.
Florida Forever Program — Staff Contact: Mark Rosch 305-295-5180 c
The State of Florida has made substantial investment in the Florida Keys by purchasing conservation land in areas
they designated under the Florida Forever Program. These areas include: i2
• North Key Largo Hammocks
• Coupon Bight/Key Deer
• Florida Keys Ecosystem w
The County and DEP have an interlocal agreement whereby the Land Authority acts as an agent for DEP, assisting
with appraisals, surveys, and in some cases, the Land Authority can contract with sellers and then resell to DEP,
speeding up the process.
The County works with DEP to identify ideal properties that would fit the Florida Forever mission, as well as
eliminate potential takings liability. Since July 1, 2016,with the passage of the Stewardship Act,Florida DEP has
spent or encumbered approximately $4,708,189, retiring 85.89 development rights as of December 31, 2021. 0
The State's long-standing acquisition efforts in the Florida Keys is essential to reduce future liability. DEP should 2
aggressively pursue land acquisition in the Florida Keys because over 3,500 privately-owned vacant,undeveloped S
parcels lie within the Florida Forever project boundaries.
0
The goal is for DEP to spend $5 million annually on acquisition in the Florida Forever boundary.
The table below demonstrates the annual expenditures by DEP, since passage of the stewardship bill through
December 31, 2021:
Year Expenditures
2016 0
2017 $163,549
2018 $1,892,396

Density Reduction Resale Program Staff Contact: Christine Hurley 305-295-5180

(ROGO) allocation to build a residential unit with all density stripped from the land. 2
To date, 11 parcels have been resold on Duck Key. They were originally acquired for$927,000 with development a
rights. The County successfully resold them without development rights for$425,494, an average of$38.681 per
