SOCIAL WELFARE HOUSING
1420.5095 Community Workforce Housing Innovation Pilot Program.--
(1) The Legislature finds and declares that recent rapid increases in the median purchase price of
a home and the cost of rental housing have far outstripped the increases in median income in the
state, preventing essential services personnel from living in the communities where they serve and
thereby creating the need for innovative solutions for the provision of housing opportunities for
essential services personnel.
(2) The Community Workforce Housing Innovation Pilot Program is created to provide affordable
rental and home ownership community workforce housing for essential services personnel affected
by the high cost of housing, using regulatory incentives and state and local funds to promote local
public-private partnerships and leverage government and private resources.
(3) For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply:
(a) .Workforce housing. means housing affordable to natural persons or families whose total annual
household income does not exceed 140 percent of the area median income, adjusted for household
size, or 150 percent of area median income, adjusted for household size, in areas of critical state
concern designated under s. 380.05, for which the Legislature has declared its intent to provide
affordable housing, and areas that were designated as areas of critical state concern for at least 20
consecutive years prior to removal of the designation.
2(b) "Essential services personnel" means persons in need of affordable housing who are employed
in occupations or professions in which they are considered essential services personnel, as defined
by each county and eligible municipality within its respective local housing assistance plan
pursuant to s. 420.9075(3)(a).
(c) "Public-private partnership" means any form of business entity that includes substantial
involvement of at least one county, one municipality, or one public sector entity, such as a school
district or other unit of local government in which the project is to be located, and at least one
private sector for-profit or not-for-profit business or charitable entity, and may be any form of
business entity, including a joint venture or contractual agreement.
(4) The Florida Housing Finance Corporation is authorized to provide Community Workforce
Housing Innovation Pilot Program loans to an applicant for construction or rehabilitation of
workforce housing in eligible areas. The corporation shall establish a funding process and selection
criteria by rule or request for proposals. This funding is intended to be used with other public and
private sector resources.
(5) The corporation shall provide incentives for local governments in eligible areas to use local
affordable housing funds, such as those from the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program, to
assist in meeting the affordable housing needs of persons eligible under this program.
(6) Funding shall be targeted to projects in areas where the disparity between the area median
income and the median sales price for a single-family home is greatest, and for projects in areas
where population growth as a percentage rate of increase is greatest. The corporation may also
fund projects in areas where innovative regulatory and financial incentives are made available. The
corporation shall fund at least one eligible project in as many counties as possible.

Page 2 of 4
(7) Projects shall receive priority consideration for funding where:
(a) The local jurisdiction adopts appropriate regulatory incentives, local contributions or financial
strategies, or other funding sources to promote the development and ongoing financial viability of
such projects. Local incentives include such actions as expediting review of development orders
and permits, supporting development near transportation hubs and major employment centers, and
adopting land development regulations designed to allow flexibility in densities, use of accessory
units, mixed-use developments, and flexible lot configurations. Financial strategies include such
actions as promoting employer-assisted housing programs, providing tax increment financing, and
providing land.
(b) Projects are innovative and include new construction or rehabilitation, mixed-income housing,
or commercial and housing mixed-use elements and those that promote homeownership. The
program funding shall not exceed the costs attributable to the portion of the project that is set
aside to provide housing for the targeted population.
(c) Projects that set aside at least 80 percent of units for workforce housing and at least 50
percent for essential services personnel and for projects that require the least amount of program
funding compared to the overall housing costs for the project.
(8) Notwithstanding the provisions of s. 163.3184(3)-(6), any local government comprehensive plan
amendment to implement a Community Workforce Housing Innovation Pilot Program project found
consistent with the provisions of this section shall be expedited as provided in this subsection. At
least 30 days prior to adopting a plan amendment pursuant to this subsection, the local
government shall notify the state land planning agency of its intent to adopt such an amendment,
and the notice shall include its evaluation related to site suitability and availability of facilities and
services. The public notice of the hearing required by s.163.3184(15)(e) shall include a statement
that the local government intends to utilize the expedited adoption process authorized by this
subsection. Such amendments shall require only a single public hearing before the governing board,
which shall be an adoption hearing as described in s. 163.3184(7), and the state land planning
agency shall issue its notice of intent pursuant to s. 163.3184(8) within 30 days after determining
that the amendment package is complete.
(9) The corporation shall award loans with interest rates set at 1 to 3 percent, which may be made
forgivable when long-term afford ability is provided and when at least 80 percent of the units are
set aside for workforce housing and at least 50 percent of the units are set aside for essential
services personnel.
(10) All eligible applications shall:
(a) For home ownership, limit the sales price of a detached unit, townhome, or condominium unit
to not more than 80 percent of the median sales price for that type of unit in that county, or the
statewide median sales price for that type of unit, whichever is higher, and require that all eligible
purchasers of home ownership units occupy the homes as their primary residence.
(b) For rental units, restrict rents for all workforce housing serving those with incomes at or below
120 percent of area median income at the appropriate income level using the restricted rents for
the federal low-income housing tax credit program and, for workforce housing units serving those
with Incomes above 120 percent of area median income, restrict rents to those established by the
corporation, not to exceed 30 percent of the maximum household income adjusted to unit size.
(c) Demonstrate that the applicant is a public-private partnership.
(d) Have grants, donations of land, or contributions from the public-private partnership or other
sources collectively totaling at least 15 percent of the total development cost. Such grants,
donations of land, or contributions must be evidenced by a letter of commitment only at the time

AN ORDINANCE OF THE MONROE COUNTY BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ADDING TO EXISTING
DEFINITIONS (Sec. 9.5-4); AMENDING MAXIMUM
RESIDENTIAL DENSITY AND DISTRICT OPEN SPACE (Sec. 9.5-
262) TO ALLOW FOR DENSITY BONUSES FOR AFFORDABLE
UNITS OF 750 SQ. FT. OR LESS; AMENDING REQUIRED
PARKING (Sec. 9.5-352); AMENDING AND/OR ADDING FOR
CONSISTENCY PURPOSES RELATED PROVISIONS;
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND REPEAL OF
INCONSISTENT PROVISIONS; PROVIDING EFFECTIVE DATE;
PROVIDING FOR INCORPORATION IN THE MONROE
COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has considered the comments
of the public, recommendations of the Planning Commission, recommendations of staff
and the Workforce Housing Task Force and its counsel, and other matters, and;
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners makes the following Findings
of Fact:
1. The lack of sufficient affordable housing opportunities for the local
workforce creates serious risks to the local economy.
2. There is limited land area suitable for residential development remaining
in the County.
3. There is a current estimated unmet need of about 7,317 affordable units
the County.
4. Allowing a density bonus will allow for the creation of more affordable
housing under the Code, is a legitimate state interest and is proper to implement Goals
101 and 601 of.the plan (e.g., Objective 101.4; Policy 101.4.5; Policy 601.1.12 and
Objectives 601.2 and 601.6).
5. These amendments to the land development regulations are appropriate in
that they recognize the need for additional detail and comprehensiveness in addressing
housing needs in Monroe County, based upon, among other factors, new issues, including
accelerated conversion of existing affordable housirig stock, increased housing pressures
due to housing loss caused by Hurricane Wilma, and the changed projections and
assumptions regarding resulting demographic trends.
6. These amendments to the land development regulations specifically
further Fla. Stat. !i 163.3202(3) by implementing innovative land development regulation
provisions such as transfer of development rights, incentive and inclusionary housing.
7. These amendments to the land development regulations are necessary to
ensure that, despite the limited availability of developable lands, the County's existing
and future housing stock includes adequate affordable housing opportunities.
I
8. The proposed amendments to the Land Development Regulations are
consistent with and further goals, objectives and policies of the Year 20 I 0
Comprehensive Plan.
