AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion and direction regarding a request by Habitat for
Humanity of the Upper Keys, Inc., for the County to donate two county-owned parcels, Block 6,
Lots 14 and 15 of the Holiday Homesites Subdivision, for the construction of two (2) affordable
housing dwelling units.
ITEM BACKGROUND: On April 27, 2022, the County received a letter from Lindsay Fast,
Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity of the Upper Keys, Inc. (HfHUK), requesting the
consideration of donating two County-owned lots/parcels of land to HfHUK for the development of
affordable housing (see attached letter). HfHUK is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization engaged in
the construction of affordable housing in the Upper Keys.
In 2021, as required by F.S. 125.379, staff reviewed the various County-owned real property and
developed an inventory of four (4) Tier III parcels that may be appropriate for use as affordable
housing. On April 16, 2021, the BOCC adopted Resolution 167-2021 approving the inventory. The
inventory includes two developed parcels, and two vacant parcels.
The lots requested for donation (Block 6, Lots 14 and 15 of the Holiday Homesites Subdivision) are
the vacant parcels from the inventory. These lots are located on Poinsetta Drive in Key Largo,
directly adjacent to land that the County has previously donated to HfHUK for development of
affordable units. Donation of Lots 14 and 15 would allow HfHUK to build a total of four single
family homes on four adjacent lots on Poinsetta Drive. HfHUK is also requesting a reservation of
affordable housing ROGO allocations for these lots under a separate agenda item.
The two requested lots were dedicated to the County in 2010 as Land Dedication Lots for Affordable
Housing by a permit applicant seeking additional points in the ROGO system for a market rate
allocation award, pursuant to section 138-28 of the Land Development Code.
The two parcels are as follows:

The statute provides that the BOCC may donate properties identified as appropriate for use as
affordable housing on the inventory list adopted by the county to a nonprofit housing
organization for the construction of permanent affordable housing.
F.S. 125.379 Disposition of county property for affordable housing.
(1) By July 1, 2007, and every 3 years thereafter, each county shall prepare an inventory list of all real
property within its jurisdiction to which the county holds fee simple title that is appropriate for use as
affordable housing. The inventory list must include the address and legal description of each such real
property and specify whether the property is vacant or improved. The governing body of the county must
review the inventory list at a public hearing and may revise it at the conclusion of the public hearing. The
Qbdlfu!Qh/!3496
P/5
governing body of the county shall adopt a resolution that includes an inventory list of such property
following the public hearing.
(2) The properties identified as appropriate for use as affordable housing on the inventory list adopted
by the county may be offered for sale and the proceeds used to purchase land for the development of
affordable housing or to increase the local government fund earmarked for affordable housing, or may be
sold with a restriction that requires the development of the property as permanent affordable housing,or
may be donated to a nonprofit housing organization for the construction of permanent affordable
housing. Alternatively, the county may otherwise make the property available for use for the production
has the same meaning as in s. 420.0004(3).
If the Board supports donating the lots, staff should be directed to prepare a resolution consistent
with F.S. 125.38, which sets for the requirements for conveying County owned property to non-
profit entities.
