AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of 2023 Acquisition list.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Each year the Land Authority Advisory Committee prepares an updated
Acquisition List. Although this process takes place on an annual basis, the list may be, and often is,
amended over the course of the year as well. The Advisory Committee has prepared the attached list
for 2023 after holding a public meeting on November 18, 2022.
Per section 380.0667, Florida Statutes, the Board of County Commissioners, sitting as the Land
Authority Governing Board, "shall approve the list of acquisitions, in whole or in part, in the order
of priority recommended by the Advisory Committee".
Listing a property on the Acquisition List is a preliminary, non-binding step indicating the Board's
desire to pursue acquisition. Further Board action is required before entering into a purchase
contract.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE ACTION: On November 18, 2022 the Committee voted 3/0 to
approve and forward the list to the Governing Board.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT GOVERNING BOARD ACTION: The Board has approved an
Acquisition List each year since the Land Authority was established.

F.6.a
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 are not located in a V flood zone and do not include environmentally sensitive habitat or possible wetlands, and are
not located in areas prohibited for development 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 mitigated.
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.
