- Land Development Code 47 PDD 210282 removing multifamily conditional use
Several speakers increase housing, increase supply of housing, increase supply of how affordable housing is critical for our community. It's critical to create a balanced community. You know, in order to for our children to go to school, we need teachers. We need teachers, we need clerical staff, we need custodians in our schools. Those are all people that would fit under affordable housing. In order for you or I to go to a doctor or go to the hospital, we need nurses, we need laptecs, we need, again, custodians. All those people are in affordable housing. So many of the people that are in front of you or to talk to you from our county government all qualify on under affordable housing. So what we want to do as we grow is we want to grow smart. We want to grow equitably and uh and to me uh a tool in the toolbox of this A

Several speakers So our next item is on the committee that uh Commissioner Starkey. It was on the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee and this is our report uh to the Board of County Commissioners. And these are the uh incentives. So on the next slide, uh it talks about the responsibilities of the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, and that's the AHAC. And their responsibility is to uh present a report to you and the Florida Housing Finance Corporation that includes recommendations on listed affordable housing incentives. That are in the Florida statutes. And we review the county's plans, policies, and procedures, ordinances, regulations, statutes, and comprehensive plan, among other documents applicable to affordable housing for the evaluation of their impacts on affordable housing projects. So they met this year in the spring, and on the next slide. They looked at the following incentive strategies. And again, these are all by law. And I will go through each of them and say whether or not it's in place or whether or not we're recommending it. So expedited permitting for affordable housing is already in place. The modification of impact fee, you all waived mobility fees last year. or affordable housing, so that's in place. The allowance of flexibility in densities

- P8Comprehensive Plan Amendment – CPAL 20(14) Central Pasco Employment Village – Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment to the Central Pasco Employment Village Subarea Policies, Policy FLU 7.1.12 (Public Hearing: LPA: 3/25/21 at 1:30 p.m., NPR/Hybrid continued; LPA: 4/22/21 at 1:30 p.m. at NPR/Hybrid; BCC: 5/18/21 at 1:30 p.m., NPR/Hybrid; BCC: 7/6/21 at 1:30 p.m., DC/Hybrid)
Several speakers The provision itself uh does not mandate affordable housing for CPEV. nor does it prescribe a particular amount of affordable housing for C P. E. V. It says that you have to include a strategy for affordable housing. That strategy I I mean Not to show cards, but to be transparent in a sense, but that strategy may very well be that we're offering market rate at market rate, but naturally occurring affordable housing. Within our products, right? But

Nectarios Pittos the agenda memo I go through and discuss um what some of those precedents were to remove the affordable housing uh language then. Uh Because despite the state statute and the potential for a strategy to define whether costs might be might be offset fully. Uh there have been a number of board-approved DRIs and MPDs that removed the same affordable housing language from the regulatory documents. The last one was the Wiregrass Development Order, which was adopted by the board in January of 2019. Um and in that case the affordable housing mitigation was eliminated. until the county could adopt an applicable countywide affordable housing mitigation ordinance. Uh since affordable housing was not being required across the board. Um having said that These are the precedents that are invoked to remove the same language from the Central Pasco employment village. However, we do have uh comments uh from the community development department that are not in agreement with the removal of the affordable housing provision from the sub-area policy. Uh noting that affordable housing uh is a future or potential component of a ending Pasco County strategic plan. Um This provision is before the planning
- P eighty-three Central Pasco Employment Village comprehensive plan text amendment
Starkey Well I have some questions if we're doing them now. And then Mr. Two can answer them too. Um first of all, I know it's too late for this, but I gotta tell you this commissioner has a problem that we're I know that we're saying nope, you don't have to do affordable housing. It used to be when you had a DRI I think ten percent of the housing um in a large community had to be affordable. And now we don't require it anymore. Do we collect any money to go into affordable housing pot? Somewhere? I mean Uh that's gonna be a problem that we don't have that kind of housing around the county. Um you see that in Monroe County where the property values got so high, all the teachers have to live in Dade County and they get bust in. I mean we need to have workforce housing. And um and that's not the same as an apartment, because many of those apartments, they can't afford to live in those apartments. Um my next question is uh dividing up the entitlements. Are

Several speakers for affordable housing, and you will see that there are several recommendations that we are making that during the time that the land development code is look being looked at in the comprehensive plan for a rewrite, we're actually just bringing these items to the attention to look at it at this. time. So the allowance of flexibility and densities uh be looked at uh while they're looking at the rewrite of the LDC. Reservation of infrastructure capacity is currently adequate and in place. Parking and setback requirements again looking to see that those would be optimized for affordable housing projects in a rewrite. the affordable accessory residential uh dwelling units, otherwise known as ADUs, again support the modification of the Land Development Code to incentivize affordable ADUs in residential areas. The incentives Continue on the next slide. Flexible lot configurations, again, when the Land Development Code rewrite comes in to look at flexible lot configurations. Modification of street requirements, there does not need to be any changes there. Process of ongoing review that is currently in place and there needs to be no changes there. A public land inventory, and that is in place, but we are recommending mapping the public lands
- Land Development Code 47 PDD 210282 removing multifamily conditional use
Girardi Well, can I just add one? Comment to that so If your concern is affordable housing, I'm not sure what your concern is, but if your concern is affordable housing, That could be remedied by still instead of removing all multifamily for as a conditional use. you could change it to say that only affordable multifamily is a conditional use. In other words, if that was your only concern, that's an easy remedy. You would just instead of removing it, you would change what's allowed to be affordable multifamily as opposed to All multi payable. But I don't know if that's your only concern.

Several speakers Unidentified A: Disability.
- R52Discussion - Multi-Family Land-Use - No Funding Required
Fitzpatrick Is there a way to find that out? Cause it sounds like they would be skewed if it's affordable housing. And I feel that you would have a lot more children in that area compared to a class A apartment.

Several speakers so the the strategy might be that the a developer comes forward and says, Well, you know, we're not gonna make any extra effort to do affordable housing because we're the housing product that we're building here today at market rate is naturally occurring affordable housing. It meets all the median income requirements and whatnot. um for affordable housing set. That's what a strategy could could say. Um it doesn't necessarily mean that in the strategy the d a developer would commit to a particular number of affordable housing units. They could. It's possible that that can happen as well. But it's a strategy. And and that would occur at the M P U D level anyway. It would not occur because of or at the comprehensive plan level.
