Code Compliance Foreclosure Properties Reuse Contact: Christine Hurley 305-295-5180 The Monroe County Code Compliance Department forecloses on long term code liens through a process 00. designated by the County Commission. After foreclosure, the land may be suitable for multiple uses within WW County Departments or may also be useful for conservation purposes or density reduction.It could also be eligible for the resale program. Because the Land Authority manages several of these programs on behalf of the County, a recently the County Commission agreed through interlocal agreement to have the Land Authority coordinate the 2 review and use of these sites. a� For the October BOCC, an on-going environmental clearing violation is proposed for settlement which would result in the donation of properties to the Monroe County Land Authority.

Packet Pg. 2632 1.4.a Affordable Housing Contact: Christine Hurley 305-295-5180 N Key West N Garden View Apartments — The City of Key West partnered with Key West Housing Authority (KWHA) and they are building 103 units, utilizing Community Development Block Grant — Disaster (CDBG-DR) Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) funding, as well as funding from MCLA for affordable housing 0 development. To date, MCLA has disbursed $2,000,000, based on a request by Key West. An additional CN $4,507,916 was given to the Key West Housing Authority (KWHA), after receiving authorization from Key West Q Manager Patti McLauchlin to disburse the funds. Key West also requested MCLA reserve $2,000,000 for potential future needs of the project. MCLA Governing Board has not approved the latest request for the 0 additional $2,000,000. 0 Peary Court—MCLA assisted in this project by providing $12 million to maintain affordable housing. Recently 0 KWHA provided a report indicating that some of the units did not meet the MCLA affordability criteria. In other 0 words,the family income exceeds the maximum allowed income. MCLA staff,working with legal counsel,wrote 2 a memorandum to Key West staff explaining non-compliance issue and correspondingly wrote a letter to the 21 owner notifying him of the 4 non-compliant units and explaining that the leases of those 4 units should not be renewed unless the families occupying the units meet the income requirements found in the Statues. MCLA staff met with Peary Court owners and their attorney and they may be proposing a revision to the deed restriction that allows them to use three new code provisions the City of Key West adopted into their most recent Land Development Code. MCLA staff requested the property owners seek a resolution of support from the City of KeyWest Commission related to this request, prior to it being brought to the MCLA Governing Board. q � P g g g c� Monroe County X 12 Scattered Sites —Monroe County partnered with MCLA and MCLA purchased 12 scattered sites, primarily on Big Pine,with one site on Little Torch.

The cost of construction has increased since the grant applications and therefore, the MCLA approved 0 a resolution to forgive the total amount($1,353,989) of the land acquisition grant so those funds can be used for construction. Monroe County Land Authority staff requested an affordable ROGO allocation be reserved for one of the scattered sites on Little Torch, so the market rate unit associated with the property can be turned back into 0 the County for administrative relief.

As of August 31, 12 of those VHBP applications were actively being processed, 9 sold their parcels to the Q County via VHBP, and the remaining 59 either voluntarily withdrew or were deemed ineligible. Based on current program participation and data, and assuming the 12 parcels in process are acquired by the County, staff has 0 estimated the county will expend approximately $13 million of the $15 million grant. Outreach for new 0 participants began in October 2021, and staff estimates a few more purchase contracts might be needed to exhaust the available grant funds. All grant activities need to be completed before the grant term ends on June 3, 2023. -t Since October 2021, we have received 17 new participant registrations, 10 remain as eligible. The first nine VHBP purchase contracts were approved by BOCC in January, February and March of 2022. All of these transactions have closed, expending a total of$4,845,245.08 for VHBP acquisitions to date. These nine transactions have retired nine development rights(market rate ROGO Exemptions). All of the market rate ROGO Exemptions available from the VHBP transactions are being moved to the Administrative Relief Pool for market rate allocations. The BOCC approved a purchase contract in August 2022 for $460,000. Three other contracts are being submitted for BOCC approval in October 2022 which total $1,166,500. Once closed, these additional contracts will bring the total for VHBP acquisitions to over $6.7 million and transfer 4 additional market rate ROGO Exemptions to the Administrative Relief Pool. w 0 Florida Forever Program Contact: Mark Rosch 305-295-5180 The State of Florida has made substantial investments in the Florida Keys purchasing conservation land pursuant to the Florida Forever Program. This program is administered by the Florida Department of Environmental CU Protection (DEP). The State has established three Florida Forever projects in the Keys: • North Key Largo Hammocks U • Coupon Bight/Key Deer 0 • Florida Keys Ecosystem 2 As the end of ROGO approaches, the State's long-standing acquisition efforts are essential to reduce future liability. DEP should aggressively pursue land acquisition in the Keys because over 3,500 privately-ownedIt- vacant, undeveloped parcels lie within the Florida Forever project boundaries. 0 The Land Authority is assisting in this effort by serving as a local partner with DEP, pursuant to a memorandum of agreement between DEP and the County. In this role, the Land Authority helps locate suitable properties with % willing sellers for DEP, obtains due diligence products for DEP, and pre-acquires conservation land for resale to the State. Since July 1, 2016,with the passage of the Florida Keys Stewardship Bill,DEP has spent approximately 20 $5,420,569 and retired 100.7 development rights as of September 30, 2022. a� The goal is for DEP to spend $5 million annually on acquisition in the Florida Forever boundary.
