Continued from 6/1/16: Approve the 2016 Affordable Housing Inventory List pursuant to requirements of Chapter 166.0451, Florida Statutes and adopt Resolution 16-14.
Body
SUMMARY:
The 2006 Legislature amended Chapter 166, Florida Statutes, adding Section 166.0451 entitled "Disposition of municipal property for affordable housing." The state statute includes that the governing body of each municipality must review the proposed affordable housing inventory list at a public hearing, and may revise the list at the conclusion of the hearing. Following the public hearing, the local governing body must adopt a resolution that includes an inventory list of such property deemed appropriate for affordable housing development.
On June 6, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution 13-10, the 2013 Affordable Housing Inventory to identify only two city-owned parcels of land appropriate for use as affordable housing. The City has acquired five additional parcels of land making it a total of seven parcels to which it has title as appropriate for use as affordable housing.
Section (1) of the statutory amendment requires that every three years each municipality prepare an inventory list of all real property within its jurisdiction to which the municipality holds fee simple title that is appropriate for use as affordable housing. Therefore, the 2016 Affordable Housing Inventory List includes the address and legal description of each property, and specifies whether the property is vacant or improved.
