Item H07 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Meeting Date: July 17, 2013 Division: Growth Management Bulk Item: Yes x No _ Department: Planning &Environmental Resources Department Staff Contact Person/Phone#: Christine Hurley 305 289-2500 AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of reservation of nineteen (19) affordable housing allocations for Little Palm Cottages LLC for off-site affordable housing units until December 31, 2021. ITEM BACKGROUND: Little Palm Cottages LLC (Little Palm) is requesting the reservation of nineteen (19) affordable housing allocations until December 31, 2021. Little Palm is proposing to redevelop property previously known as Lucky's Landing Trailer Park located at 133 Barry Avenue, Little Torch Key, Real Estate Number 00127400.000000. On May 24, 2013, Monroe County Planning and Environmental Resources Department issued Development Order 02-13 (minor conditional use) approving Little Palm's request for redevelopment which requires and includes 14 affordable housing units to be deed restricted on site. The minor conditional use, which is in its appeal period, gives the applicant three (3) years to complete the project from the date the minor conditional use is recorded in the Monroe County Public Records. The approximate time frame to complete the project would be July 2016. This site has 48 ROGO exemptions of which 14 will be used as the 30% requirement for inclusionary housing. Pursuant to Little Palm's proposal, the redeveloped property may transition to all market rate units at a future date. Then 19 affordable housing units would be built off-site. This would comply with and be the linkage for the inclusionary housing requirement for the Little Palm project [48 onsite units + 14 off-site units = 62 total units, 30% of 62 = 18.6)]. This results in a net gain of 5 affordable housing units. The applicant will be subject to obtaining all required approvals from Monroe County for the future affordable housing sites proposed to be linked to the redeveloped site. The certificates of occupancy for the 19 units which are to be built off-site shall be issued according to the terms of the Agreement. This reservation is a companion item to an Agreement between Monroe County and Little Palm Cottages LLC allowing the reservation, formalizing alternative compliance and linkage of the inclusionary housing.

("Agreement") is entered into this day of , 2013 ("Agreement Date"), between LITTLE PALM COTTAGES, LLC ("Applicant") and MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA("County"). I. RECITALS A. Applicant owns real property located at 133 Barry Avenue, Little Torch Key, Monroe County, as more particularly described in Exhibit"A" attached hereto, "the Property." B. As of the date of this Agreement, the Property, which consists of approximately 3.55 acres of upland area, was developed with four (4) single-family residences, in the form of three(3)detached residential dwelling units and one(1)mobile home. C. Monroe County recognizes 48 ROGO exemptions as being associated with the Property. The Property was previously used a mobile home park, known as Lucky's Landing Trailer Park. Of the 48 recognized ROGO exemptions, 45 were associated with mobile homes (44 of which were demolished in 2007) and 3 are associated with the existing single-family detached residential dwelling units. D. Applicant desires to construct 48 residential dwelling units for rental on the Property. Applicant wishes to raze 3 of the 4 single-family residences on the Property, and convert 1 of the single-family residences on the Property into a clubhouse to serve the 48 residential dwelling units (hereinafter, the "Project"). Applicant submitted to the County Planning and Environmental Resources Department a Request for Minor Conditional Use Permit application (Planning Department File #2013-033) for the Project ("Applicant's Request for Minor Conditional Use"), and on May 23, 2013, the Monroe County Director of Planning and Environmental Resources issued Development Order #02-13 approving Applicant's Request for Minor Conditional Use, provided as Exhibit"B." E. Pursuant to the County's inclusionary housing requirements, MCC §130- 161(b)(2)b., 30% of the 45 residential dwelling units which are being converted from prior mobile home use are required to be developed as affordable housing. Pursuant to MCC §130- Revised July 2, 2013 161(b)(2)a., 30% of the 3 residential dwelling units which are being converted from prior non- mobile home residential use are required to be developed as affordable housing. Therefore, for a Project of 48 total residential dwelling units, 14 residential dwelling units are required to be deed-restricted as affordable housing(30%of 48 = 14.4). F. The County finds that the Project's 14 affordable housing units (provided either on-site or off-site) advances Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Goal 601 by providing new, safe, decent, and structurally sound affordable housing. Additionally, the County finds that the Project advances Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Objective 601.3 by replacing prior substandard mobile home residential uses while also enhancing the County's existing housing stock. Additionally, the County finds that the auditing and reporting requirements required of the Provider (as that term is more specifically defined in section V) advances Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Policy 601.1.15 related to monitoring affordable housing eligibility. G. As detailed in a May 21, 2013 staff report to the Monroe County Planning Commission, excluding the Big Pine Key and No Name Key ROGO subarea, the County had 262 affordable housing ROGO allocations available as of that date for reservation pursuant to MCC §138-24(b) (168 of which were classified as very low / low / median-income eligible and 94 of which were classified as moderate-income eligible). H. The purpose of this Agreement is to govern the logistics of the Project's ROGO component by: (i) allowing the application of MCC §130-161, to permit Applicant to meet "alternative compliance" and/or"link" any off-site deed-restricted affordable housing units to the on-site Project as contemplated herein, (ii) allow the application of MCC §130-161(b)(4), Alternative compliance, and MCC §130-161(c), Linkage of projects, to allow Applicant to link 19 off-site units with the Project to achieve the inclusionary housing requirements of MCC §130-161(b), and (iii) designating Provider as an approved non-governmental organization to oversee administration of the Applicant's affordable housing units. I. Except as expressly outlined herein, this Agreement does not approve any development of property and does not waive any development approvals. J. As more particularly outlined in Article VI(B), below, this Agreement shall become effective only after all appeal periods related to any Order associated with Applicant's Request for Minor Conditional Use have run. II.RESERVATION OF 19 AFFORDABLE ROUSING ROGO ALLOCATIONS BY MONROE COUNTY A. Applicant requests Monroe County to "reserve" 19 affordable housing moderate- income ROGO allocations so that up to 14 of the Project's affordable housing units may"revert" to market rate units if and when Applicant uses the reserved affordable housing ROGO units at another approved location(s) within 35 miles of the Project's location, excluding a location on Big Pine Key or No Name Key. Applicant acknowledges that use at locations within the cities of Key West, Marathon and/or Key Colony Beach will require approval by the Board of County Commissioners and execution of an appropriate interlocal agreement. For every 4 off-site units 2 Revised July 2, 2013 which are granted certificates of occupancy and deed restricted as affordable housing, the County will release 3 of the affordable housing units on the Property from the Project's Affordable Housing Deed Restriction. Once 12 of the affordable housing units on the Property have been released from the Project's Affordable Housing Deed Restriction, 3 additional off-site units must be constructed and granted certificates of occupancy and deed restricted in order for the final 2 deed restricted affordable housing units on the Property to be released from the Project's Affordable Housing Deed Restriction. In the event, Applicant opts to construct only a partial amount of the 14 off-site units, the following table provides the required total of affordable housing units for each scenario: Number;ofOff-Site'Untts Number ofTotdl;Units , Required Total ofAffordable Housin Units(30 Percent 0 48 14 14.4 1 49 15 (14.7) 2 50 15 15.0 3 51 15 (15.3 4 52 16 (15.6 5 53 16 (15.9 6 54 16 16.2 7 55 17 (16.5 8 56 17 (16.8 9 57 17 17.1 10 58 17 (17.4) 11 59 18 17.7 12 60 18 18.0 13 61 18 18.3 14 62 19 (18.6) * As required in MCC Section 130-161(b)(2)(c), only fractional requirements equal to or greater than .5 shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. B. Monroe County shall hereby reserve, by separate resolution of the Board of County Commissioners as required by MCC §138-24(b), 19 affordable housing moderate income (as defined in MCC § 110-1) ROGO allocations for linkage to the Project ("Reserved Units). If located in unincorporated Monroe County, Applicant shall comply with all regulations in the Monroe County Code concerning the location and construction of affordable housing. If located in unincorporated Monroe County, no units shall be constructed on Big Pine or No Name Keys, within a Tier I designated area, within a V-zone on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's flood insurance rating map, or within a Tier III-A (special protection area) designated area if clearing is proposed for any portion of an upland native habitat patch of one acre or greater in area. If located in an incorporated area of Monroe County, Applicant shall comply with all regulations in the pertinent municipality concerning the location and construction of affordable housing. C. Upon completion of the Project's residential units, and recordation of an appropriate deed restriction recognizing the designation of 14 of the Project's on-site residential dwelling units as affordable, the Project shall be deemed to have met the inclusionary affordable 3 Revised July 2, 2013 housing congruency requirement of MCC §130-161(b). A copy of the approved deed restriction to be recorded upon completion of the Project is attached hereto as Exhibit"C." III.APPROVAL OF ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE/LINKAGE OF OFF-SITE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS A. Linkage of inclusionary affordable housing is permitted in the MCC. Applicant is seeking the ability, at some future date, to construct up to 19 affordable housing units off-site and link them to the market-rate housing units that are on-site. In order to accomplish this request, Applicant seeks the County reserve 19 of its available affordable housing ROGO allocations (moderate): one for each of the 14 affordable housing units required to be built as part of the Project of 48 total on-site units plus a maximum additional of 5 for the additional affordable housing units needed to meet the 30%requirement if a larger on-site project, fully market-rate is constructed or converted (48 on-site market-rate units + 14 off-site affordable units = 62 total units, 30% of 62 = 18.6). This reservation is to allow Applicant, at some future date but within the timeframe set forth herein and in the affordable housing reservation resolution, to use such reserved affordable housing ROGO allocations at other locations within the County as allowed and provided in section II(A). Specifically, once the Project is completed on the Property, Applicant may build up to 19 off-site affordable housing units for "linkage" of such off-site affordable units to the Project. B. In the event Applicant does desire to construct affordable housing units off-site, Applicant seeks the County's approval for such off-site affordable housing units to constitute adequate and appropriate "linkage" as contemplated in MCC §130-161(c). Since such linkage would occur, if at all, after the completion of the Project, and since Applicant seeks to accomplish such linkage by constructing up to 19 off-site units, Applicant also seeks the County, pursuant to MCC §130-161(b)(3), to adjust the requirements of MCC §130-161 to accommodate the flexibility Applicant seeks in providing deed-restricted affordable housing units as more particularly described herein. C. To be consistent with the reservation resolution required by section II(B), Applicant has through and until December 31, 2021 ("Linkage Period") in which to apply for and receive building permits authorizing Applicant to construct up to 19 affordable housing units at other off-site, approved locations within the County("Off-site Units"). D. As it is not technically a transfer of a ROGO exemption, Minor Conditional Use approval will not be required for construction of the Off-site Units. However, all other applicable site development approvals shall be required for construction of such Off-site Units. A Conditional Use shall be required if the land use district of the site(s) where the Off-site Units are to be located requires such a Conditional Use approval for the use. E. Within the Linkage Period, Applicant, or Applicant's assignee, may, but shall not be required to, use all or any portion of the 19 Reserved Affordable Allocations to construct the Off-site Units at another approved location(s)within 35 miles of the Project's location, excluding a location on Big Pine Key or No Name Key,pursuant to section II(A) of this agreement. 4 Revised July 2, 2013 F. Linkage of the Reserved Affordable Allocations for the Off-site Units will count as the inclusionary affordable housing requirement only for the Project, except that if Applicant (or Applicant's affiliate or assignee) constructs more than the 19 Off-site Units contemplated herein, any affordable housing units constructed in excess of the Off-site Units may, upon receipt of appropriate approvals, count toward linkage for another project. G. In the event Applicant does use any or all of the 19 Reserved Affordable Allocations as contemplated herein, and either Applicant or Applicant's assignee constructs such affordable Off-site Units related to such allocations, the County shall release from the Project's on-site affordable housing unit deed restriction the affordability designation of the Project's units as described herein in section I(I) of this agreement. The County's obligation to release the Project's units from the deed restriction shall arise upon the completion of the construction of such affordable Off-site Units and the recordation of the appropriate affordable housing deed restriction(s) for such affordable Off-site Units. H. In the event Applicant does not receive building permits and use the linkage provisions within the Linkage Period, the "reserved status" of any remaining Reserved Affordable Allocations shall cease. IV. BOCC APPROVAL OF ADJUSTMENT TO SECTION 130-161 REQUIREMENTS TO ACCOMMODATE LINKAGE A. Applicant also desires the County, pursuant to MCC §130-161(f)(8), to approve the designation of (i) Applicant, (ii) Lincoln Apartment Management Limited Partnership (Applicant's property management company), and (iii) Eastwind Little Palm, LLC (the managing member of Applicant) (collectively and/or individually, "Provider"), as non- governmental organization(s) approved as an affordable housing provider. Upon such approval, Provider shall be responsible to ensure that all affordable housing units located at the Property or elsewhere are administered and operated pursuant to, and consistent with, the requisites of MCC §130-161, and all applicable deed restrictions. B. The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (`BOCC"), pursuant to MCC §130-161(b)(3), specifically finds and concludes that the Project furthers the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the purposes and intent of the County's inclusionary housing requirement through means other than a strict application of the requirements of MCC§§130- 161(b)(2)(c) and 130-161(c)-(regarding unit computation and linkage ). Specifically, allowing Applicant to use Reserved Units to construct affordable Off-site Units as contemplated herein will further the County's policies regarding replacing mobile home parks with new permanent residential rental structures, while at the same time promoting affordable housing. V. BOCC DESIGNATION OF PROVIDER AS APPROVED NON-GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY TO OVERSEE AFFORDABILITY RESTRICTIONS A. Pursuant to MCC §130-161(f)(8)(c), a non-governmental organization approved by the BOCC as an affordable housing provider may enter into a written agreement with the County's Planning Director to authorize the non-governmental entity to administer the eligibility 5 Revised July 2, 2013 and compliance requirements of affordable housing units which restrictions appear in MCC §130-161, and applicable deed restrictions. B. Provider has established sufficient competence to serve as an approved non- governmental entity as contemplated in MCC §130-161(f)(8). Specifically, the principals of Provider have extensive experience in operating affordable housing, have shown competency and understanding of the appropriate deed restrictions and requirements of the County's Affordable Housing Ordinances, and the Provider is otherwise competent and responsible to serve in the capacity as an approved affordable housing provider. C. Provider shall qualify all potential residents of any affordable housing unit contemplated herein, and shall on June 1st of each year annually verify the employment and/or income eligibility of tenants pursuant to MCC §130-161(f)(2). D. Provider shall, by December 31" of each calendar year, provide written certification to the County's Planning Department certifying that tenants of each affordable housing unit contemplated herein meet the applicable employment and income requirements as required by MCC §130-161(f)(2). E. Provider shall comply with all applicable portions of the Monroe County Code and use the Monroe County Affordable Housing requirements in qualifying tenants. F. Any successor Providers shall provide evidence acceptable to the Planning Director of their qualifications. Following acceptance of the qualifications by the Planning Director, the new Provider must be approved by the Board of County Commission within 60 days of a formal request to change Provider. G. Applicant acknowledges that documents it receives in connection with providing affordable housing may be public records under Florida law. Applicant shall allow and permit reasonable access to, and inspection of, all documents, papers, letters or other materials in its possession or under its control subject to the provisions of Chapter 119, Florida Statues, and made or received by the County and Applicant in conjunction with this Agreement. County shall have the right to unilaterally cancel this Agreement upon violation of this provision by Applicant. VI. RECORDATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE OF AGREEMENT A. This Agreement shall be recorded by County in the Official Records Book of Monroe County at the expense of Applicant. The Agreement shall run with the land and bind Applicant's successors in interest. B. Applicant specifically covenants, agrees and acknowledges that this Agreement shall become effective only after all appeal periods related to any Order associated with Applicant's Request for Minor Conditional Use have run. 6 Revised July 2, 2013 .
