RESOLUTION NO. 103 -2006
A RESOLUTION OF THE MONROE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
REGARDING DEED-RESTRICTED MARKET RATE UNITS DEVELOPED
AS PART OF AFFORDABLE/WORKFORCE HOUSING PROJEerS
PURSUANT TO MONROE COUNTY CODE SECTION 9.5-266(a)(8)
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, additional incentives for private developers of affordable/workforce
housing should be provided so that more affordable/workforce units are built in the
County; and
WHEREAS, measures including modification of existing but ineffective land
development regulation incentives will be required to put more housing in place, and the
Monroe County Workforce Housing Task Force has requested that the County pursue
such measures; and
WHEREAS, the Task Force has found that the deed-restricted market rate
dwelling unit incentive envisioned for mixed-use affordable housing projects and
codified under Section 9.5-266(a)(8) has, to date, not induced private developers to
develop additional affordable/workforce housing in the County, due in part to the fact
that developers must obtain the dwelling unit allocations for any deed-restricted market
rate units through the regular market rate ROGO allocation process, even though the units
that can be built under Section 9.5-266(a)(8) must be deed-restricted to workforce
housing use; 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: It is resolved by the BOCC that the County Administrator shall
direct the Planning Department to prepare amendments to the County's land development
regulations and, if required, amendments to the Comprehensive Plan to permit
development of deed-restricted workforce market rate housing under Monroe County
Code Section 9.5-266(a)(8) through the use of affordable/workforce housing ROGO
allocations.
Section 2, The County Administrator shall also direct the Planning
Department to address the issue of transferability of market rate units "off-site" from an
affordable/workforce housing development or allocation and present alternative proposals
for the amendments to the County's land development regulations and, if required,
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan to permit same for consideration by the Board of
County Commissioners.
