ITEM BACKGROUND: The following additions are proposed to the 2022 Land Authority Acquisition List. 1.

The lots are Block 36, Lot 13; Block 41, Lots 7 and 10; and Block 49, Lot 9 in Sands subdivision on Big Pine Key. The Land Authority has a contract to purchase the lots from Conch Republic Housing Alliance, Inc. for $468,000. In order to purchase these properties as affordable housing sites, the subject lots must first be added to the Acquisition List. After purchase, the lots will be transferred to Monroe County so they can be leased to Habitat for Humanity of Key West and the Lower Keys, Inc. for development with affordable housing. 2. The second addition is to add a ROGO-exempt property to the Acquisition List for the dual purposes of conservation and affordable housing. The property is Block 3, Lots 15 and 16 in Big Pine Key Inc. subdivision on Big Pine Key. The Land Authority has a contract to purchase the property for $230,000. After purchase, the property will be restored as conservation land and the ROGO exemption will be transferred to an affordable housing site in partnership with Monroe County for the Monroe County Employee Housing Program.

Florida Statutes 380.0667.Advisory committee: acquisitions, Section (3) indicates: The land authority shall approve the list of acquisitions, in whole or in part, in the order of priority recommended by the advisory committee. c14 Ordinance 031-1986, Section 8,further indicates:The Advisory Committee shall establish,on or before January 15 of each year, an identification and prioritization of land acquisition for the Land Authority. The list also incorporates by reference the Florida Keys Stewardship Act that took effect on July 1, 2016, as amended, the land acquisition priorities in Policy 102.4.2 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the Memorandum of Understanding between DEP and Monroe County revised on October 20, 2021 and House Bill 1173 that took effect on April 6,2018. Z PROPERTY IN FLORIDA KEYS AREA OF CRITICAL STATE CONCERN (OUTSIDE OF KEY WEST) The MCLA Advisory Committee will promote acquisition, by fee simple purchases or other means provided in HB 1173,to address affordable workforce housing damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Irma by adding to the Acquisition List, on a case-by-case _ basis, affordable housing sites that are preferably ROGO-exempt to be acquired by government partners provided the sites Cr are not located in a V flood zone and do not include environmentally sensitive habitat or possible wetlands, and are not U located in areas prohibited by Comprehensive Plan Policy 601.1.11. The Monroe County Code defines environmentally sensitive lands as "areas of native habitat requiring special management attention to protect important fish and wildlife resources and other natural systems or processes. Environmentally sensitive lands typically include wetlands and other surface waters, tropical hardwood hammocks and pinelands." Native habitat includes Species Focus Areas identified by the US Fish and Wildlife Service but does not include Species Focus Area Buffers. Therefore, MCLA shall not purchase or fund affordable housing that impacts any habitat defined as environmentally sensitive or is located in any of the following areas: Species Focus Areas; areas designated Tier 1, 2, or 3A; V flood zones; offshore islands; or areas within a Coastal Barriers Resource System unit. Evidence of environmental sensitivity includes but is not limited to a determination to be made by the County Environmental Resources Office of whether the construction of affordable housing requires habitat to be removed and 0- mitigated. CL CL Favorable factors in the analysis and consideration of affordable housing sites will include the record of the partner in the project; quality of the project; ability of the project to serve individuals, couples and families; leverage from additional non-MCLA funds brought to the project; and the MCLA funds price per unit. g Property Type Acquisition Objectives Intended Proposed Development Owner/Manager U) 0 Property Designated Tier 1,Tier 2, Property Rights Protection None MCLA, Local,State,or 0 or Tier 3A with priority being Environmental Protection Federal Government CL properties located within the Big Pine Habitat Conservation Plan A Property Rights Protection Property Designated Tier 3 with None MCLA, Local,State,or significant habitat or connectivity Retire Development Rights Federal Government Environmental Protection A Property Designated Tier 3 without Either affordable housing or To be BOCC Preferred,MCLA c� significant habitat or connectivity Density Reduction determined Property Eligible for ROGO Property Rights Protection None MCLA, Local,State,or Administrative Relief Environmental Protection Federal Government Page 1 of 3 Packet Pg. 2646 1.6.a Property Impacted Property Rights Protection None MCLA, Local,State,or by Local Environmental Protection Federal Government Property Within Florida Forever Environmental None MCLA, Local,State,or CL Projects (with priority for those Protection Property Federal Government with potential for resale to the Rights Protection State of Florida DEP).
