AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a resolution for an extension of reservation of sixteen (16) affordable dwelling

ITEM BACKGROUND: The owner of the property, Richard C. Beal, has requested the reservation of sixteen (16)

Development Order 01-09 to develop the affordable housing project. To date, the building permit application deadline has
been extended twice. First, the applicant received a two year extension pursuant to Senate Bill 360. Subsequently, the
applicant received a one year extension pursuant to the Monroe County Land Development Code. To date, a building
permit application relating to the scope of work has not been submitted. Thereby, the current deadline(s) to submit a
building permit application is October 28, 2012. All required certificates of occupancy shall be procured within two (2)
years of the date of issuance of an initial building permit [approximately October 28, 2014].

affordable housing reservation. As of April 19, 2012, Mr. Beal has not applied for Building Permits for the proposed
employeelaffordable housing.

Area of Critical State Concern mandates relating to housing affordability) recognize the need for
affordable housing throughout the state and particularly in the Florida Keys where developable land for
housing is extremely limited and expensive; and
WHEREAS, the challenge of providing affordable housing opportunities in the Florida Keys is
one requiring sensible and responsive use of residential unit allocations, including implementation of
long-term preservation mechanisms; and
WHEREAS, due consideration should be given to relevant factors such as the capacity for
allocation recipients to promptly transform allocation awards/reservations into finished and occupied
affordable/workforce housing units; and
WHEREAS, the developers have legitimate needs for some assurance that allocations are in fact
and will remain available and/or justified for a reasonable time so that follow-through on initial
commitments will in fact be justified; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Strategy 3.3 of the Master Plan for Future Development of Big
Pine Key and No Name Key, the county shall retain and expand availability of affordable housing within

housing project until March 31, 2011; and
WHEREAS, the developer did not commence construction of the 16 affordable housing units by
March 31, 2011 and therefore the ROGO allocations and "H" reservation expired March 31, 2011; and
WHEREAS, the BOCC, on January 19, 2012 approved Resolution 016-2012 for a four month
reservation of 16 affordable housing allocations for the Caya Place LLC affordable housing project until
May 19, 2012; and
WHEREAS, the developer has requested an extension for the "H" value reservation and 16
affordable dwellings unit allocations; and
WHEREAS, because of the current economic conditions, the developer wants an assurance that
the reserved allocations of the 16 affordable housing units for the proposed development to Caya Place
LLC will be available; and
WHEREAS, an extension of the minor conditional use was granted so that the developer must
apply for building permits by October 28, 2012;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
