AMENDMENTS
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has recently empanelled a
Workforce Housing Task Force made up of members from throughout the Florida Keys
to address critical housing affordability issues facing the Florida Keys; and
WHEREAS, the State of Florida and all local governments in the Florida Keys
(each subject to Area of Critical State Concern mandates relating to housing
affordability) recognize the need for affordable housing throughout the state and
particularly in the Florida Keys where developable land for housing is extremely limited
and expensive; and
WHEREAS, currently ROGO lot donations grant just two points for each lot
regardless of whether a donated lot is immediately buildable, for example, because of
existing negative environmental or other factors; and
WHEREAS, additional incentives for the donation of immediately buildable lots
for ROGO points should be provided incentives so that the County can acquire such lots
as soon as possible through the ROGO-lot donation program; and
WHEREAS, measures including appropriate land development and
comprehensive plan changes will be required to put such incentives in place, and the
Monroe County Workforce Housing Task Force has requested that the County pursue
such measures; and
WHEREAS, based upon recommendations of the Task Force and upon the
consideration and finding of this Board that these recommendations are sound and merit
immediate implementation; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA that:
Section 1: The County Administrator shall have the Monroe County Planning
Department present to the Monroe County Planning Commission for public hearing at the
earliest opportunity a proposed ordinance amending the County's land development
regulations and also any necessary Comprehensive Plan amendments adjusting the point
system to permit an award of six (6) points (in contrast to the current two (2) points) for
the donation to the County of a "ROGO-Iot" upon which no negative environmental
conditions or other factors would otherwise prevent the immediate construction of an
affordable/workforce housing unit by a qualified owner/developer. For donated parcels
upon which more than a single unit of affordable/workforce housing can immediately be
constructed, the donor should receive six (6) points for each such unit that could be built
on the donated parcel. The ROGO or scoring points should be bankable, transferable and
capable of being used to obtain an award for an allocation in any Monroe County
planning subarea.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe
County, Florida at a regular meeting of said Board held on the 15th day of February,
2006.
