§ 154.140 AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNDER THE LIVE LOCAL ACT.

   (A)   Description and purpose. The purpose of this section is to establish procedures and regulations for the development of mixed-use affordable housing developments pursuant to the provisions of F.S, § 166.04151. Any qualifying development under the Live Local Act shall comply with any land development regulations and design standards applicable to multi-family in the code or as set forth herein, whichever is more restrictive. All aspects of the qualifying development shall be consistent with the city's Comprehensive Plan, except elements preempted by F.S. § 166.04151.
   (B)   Applicable zoning districts. Unless otherwise permitted by this chapter, no building or land shall be used, and no building shall be hereafter erected, structurally altered, or enlarged, pursuant to the provisions of F.S. § 166.04151 except in the zoning districts listed below and in accordance with the standards established herein.
      (1)   C-1 General Commercial.
      (2)   C-2 Commercial District.
      (3)   M-1A Office and Light Industrial.
      (4)   M-2A Industrial District.
   (C)   To not impair previously agreed upon contracts or the Comprehensive Plan, the Live Local Act shall not be applicable within Planned Unit Development Districts ("PUD") or any area subject to a development agreement addressing the zoning or land use of the property.
   (D)   "Commercial, Industrial, or Mixed Use" shall not include any uses presented as conditional uses in any zoning district.
   (E)   Properties located within the Big Lake Mary overlay zoning district shall comply with the relevant provisions of § 154.90.
   (F)   Procedures for securing administrative approval of qualifying developments.
      (1)   This procedure is only available for qualifying developments where:
         (a)   No further action is reguired by the city (i.e., no variance, conditional use, planned unit development agreement or other approval is required); and
         (b)   The development satisfies the land development regulations for multi-family developments and is otherwise consistent with the comprehensive plan, with the exception of provisions establishing allowable densities, height and land use, in the manner specified below.
      (2)   The review process will ensure that the qualifying development satisfies all reguirements of the Act, as well as the comprehensive plan and code provisions that are not preempted by the Act for a major site plan, and all other applicable laws. The city will post a policy containing procedures and expectations for administrative approval on the city website. Further, the city will post notice of an application on the city's website.
         (a)   Upon application for Site Plan review, the applicant shall agree as follows:
            1.   To proceed with the qualifying development according to the provisions established herein and the affordability requirements as established by state law;
            2.   To provide agreements, contracts, covenants, deed restrictions, and sureties acceptable to the city for completion of the development according to the plans approved at the time of site plan approval and for continuing operations and maintenance of such areas, functions, and facilities, which are not proposed to be provided, operated, or maintained at public expense; and
            3.   To bind their successors in title to any commitments made under the above.
         (b)   First step meeting. The applicant shall schedule a first step meeting with the Development Review Committee (PRC) prior to any formal submittals. The following items shall be provided to schedule a first step meeting:
            1.   Project concept plan signed and sealed by a registered engineer in the State of Florida. The concept plan shall be a minimum 30% engineered.
            2.   Project narrative with the following elements:
               a.    Property zoning and future land use designation. The narrative shall indicate whether the use requested would be reguired by right, conditionally, or if it would reguire a rezoning and/or future land use amendment without the provisions of the Live Local Act.
               b.    Project density. The city will comply with the density requirements set forth in F.S. § 166.04151(7). In the event the proposed residential density exceeds the density permitted by the city's Comprehensive Plan, the applicant shall provide an analysis showing the highest currently allowed density where residential development is permitted. Developments that have received any bonus, variance, planned unit development zoning or other conditional use for density are not applicable and shall be excluded from the analysis.
               c.    Dwelling unit breakdown, including number of bedrooms and unit sizes.
               d.    Proposed building height. For qualifying development, the city will comply with the building height requirements set forth in F.S. § 166.04151(7). The applicant must submit a specific purpose survey demonstrating the one-mile distance for the height determination with a brief analysis of the comparator site.
               e.    Proposed Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The city will not consider FAR as the city does not review FAR for any project, only density for residential projects. A qualified development may not apply the FAR from nonresidential development to obtain an increase in residential density. The city does not accept FAR as a basis for residential density for qualified developments. If applicant requests the FAR bonus provided in the Act, the applicant must provide an expert analysis demonstrating the project is no greater than 150% of the highest currently allowed FAR in the city. Developments that have received any bonus, variance, planned unit development zoning or other conditional use are not applicable and shall be excluded from the analysis.
               f.   A table indicating the ratio of residential to non-residential sguare footage, and a breakdown of affordable, market rate and fee-simple residential units.
               g.    Identify any Major Transportation Hubs, as defined in F.S. § 166.04151, located within a one-half mile of the proposed development and/or any nearby parking available for the exclusive use of the residents, if requesting a parking reduction or waiver under F.S. § 166.04151.
               h.    Statement as to how the proposed project conforms to the city's Comprehensive Plan.
         (c)   Site plan submittal.
            1.   In the event a proposed development is deemed a qualifying development, an application for Site Plan review, all required supplemental documentation, and all technical review fees may be submitted to the city. Any fees collected in conjunction with Site Plan review are non-refundable.
            2.   Upon receiving the application package and fee payment, the city's designated project manager for the development will complete a sufficiency review within seven business days and notify the applicant within that time of any insufficient or missing submittal requirements. If the application package is determined to be sufficient, by satisfying all submittal requirements, the applicant will be notified of the scheduled development review committee meeting date.
            3.   The Development Review Committee (PRC) shall review the application package for compliance with the city's land development code, comprehensive plan, and applicable state laws, and take the following actions:
               a.    Recommend approval of the site plan including findings supporting the decision.
               b.   Defer action on recommending approval or denial of the site plan until the applicant resubmits plans with PRC comments addressed. The applicant will be notified in writing of comments concerning the submittal. Required revisions shall be resubmitted by the applicant within 30 days of receiving comments. Failure of the applicant to submit revised plans as required above shall result in cancellation of the application unless an extension is agreed upon by the Mayor and City Commission at a public hearing.
               c.    Recommend denial of the site plan including findings supporting the decision.
            4.   Upon receiving a recommendation by the PRC, the applicant shall submit the application package to the Administrative Official. In making a determination, the Administrative Official must find:
               a.    That the proposed development is compliant with the city's land development regulations and is compatible with the city's comprehensive plan, with the exception of provisions in F.S § 166.04151; and
               b.    That the development has demonstrated its commitment to eguity through providing affordable housing and that the affordable housing units offer a guality of life enjoyed by all residents in the city.
         5.   The Administrative Official may impose any conditions or limitations upon the establishment, permissible uses, location, construction, maintenance, or operation of the development which in its judgment may reasonably be necessary to ensure compatibility and prevent the development from becoming detrimental to other permitted land uses, to promote the public interest, and protect the health, safety, and welfare of all. Conditions, limitations, and requirements mitigating any adverse impacts from the proposed development will be stated as part of the approval and shall be a continuing obligation of the property owners. Such mitigation may include, without limitation, screening or buffering, landscaping, limitations on manner, scope, and extent of operation(s), changes in proposed construction, location or design of buildings, relocation of proposed open space or alteration of use of such space, changes in traffic circulation or signalization, and any other matter reasonably calculated to address potential impacts to adjacent developments and the surrounding neighborhood.
               a.   If approved by the Administrative Official, the Administrative Official shall issue a written "approval letter" and the applicant shall apply for site construction and building permit review and commence construction within one year (365 days) from the date of approval.
               b.   The decision by the Administrative Official may be appealed to the Planning and Zoning Board pursuant to § 154.25(C) within 30 days of the rendering of a decision by the Administrative Official.
               c.    Modification to approved site plan. Following approval, if substantial changes are made to the design of the project, including but not limited to, an increase in density, building height, massing, architectural design, or amenities, the modifications shall be approved by the Administrative Official.
               d.   If the proposed project does not meet the city's land development code (except for use, height or density as preempted by the Act), the applicant may apply for a variance or other pertinent procedure and shall follow the procedures provided in the code, including review by the Development Review Committee, Planning and Zoning Board, and City Commission.
               e.    Denial of an application precludes the applicant from refiling the same application for 12 months from the date of denial.
            6.   Affordability commitment.
               a.   A property that includes affordable housing built under the preemptive regulations in the Live Local Act (2023) must manifest compliance with F.S. § 166.04151's mandate of providing a minimum of 40% affordable housing for 30 years by recording a restrictive covenant on the property to that effect. If the development does not comply with the Act for 30 years, then the city will consider the affordable housing units nonconforming uses, and subject to § 154.10 of the land development code. The covenant will detail income mix and required affordability, with a release provision ensuring that the covenant is in place for 30 years from certificate of occupancy and may only be released earlier by bringing the project into full compliance with all zoning and land use provisions applicable to the site at the time of the release. The property owner must provide to the city each year on January 15, copies of all leases then in effect for the affordable units, together with such other documentation necessary to demonstrate that the leases meet the affordability criteria set forth in F.S. § 420.0004, and confirm that the occupants of the affordable units meet the requirements of the income standards. The city has the right to audit the evidence of compliance with F.S. § 420.0004 at any time when warranted.
               b.   The city will enforce the restrictive covenant. After a property is no longer qualified as affordable housing due to violation of the restrictive covenant, the city shall assess a daily fine of $300.00 per day and may impose additional regulations on the development, at the City Commission's discretion at a public hearing, to include stricter design standards, landscaping, upgraded amenities, and other regulations designed to protect the area and ensure compatibility of nearby uses. The daily fine and additional regulations will cease once proof of compliance has been provided to the city.
               c.   If construction has not begun on the affordable housing project within six-months of the issuance of the building permit, then the property will be governed by the entitlements allowed under the property's zoning without the benefit of the preemptive provisions of F.S. § 166.04151.
            7.   Site development standards.
               a.   All land included for the purposes of a qualifying development, including all residential and nonresidential components, shall be under unified control. All agreements and evidence of unified control shall be reviewed by the city attorney and no site plan for a qualifying development shall be approved without verification by the city attorney that such agreements and evidence of unified control meet the requirements of this section.
               b.    Required residential and nonresidential uses. Qualifying developments must locate all non-residential uses on the same (or unified) plot.
                  A.    Sixty-five percent (65 %) of the total square footage of a qualifying development shall be used for residential purposes. Lobby, service areas, and amenity areas exclusively for residential uses shall be considered residential square footage.
                  B.    Thirty-five percent (35 %) of the total square footage of a qualifying development shall be used for nonresidential purposes. Nonresidential uses shall be limited to those uses permitted in the zoning district regulations applicable to the land on which the project is located.
                  C.    Equivalency of affordable dwelling units.
                     (i)   Affordable dwelling units and market rate units within a qualifying development shall be located within the same structures or shall be proportionality distributed between multiple structures, if more than one structure is proposed, such that each structure contains both affordable and market rate units in equal proportions.
                     (ii)   Affordable dwelling units and market rate units shall be proportionately distributed between multiple floors for structures within a qualifying development greater than two floors, such that each floor contains both affordable and market rate units in equal proportions.
                     (iii)   All common areas and amenities within a qualifying development shall be equally accessible and available to all residents (both affordable and market rate units).
                     (iv)   Parking for affordable dwelling units shall be provided in the same manner, with the same level of convenience and proximity as parking for market rate units.
                     (v)   Access to the required affordable dwelling units in a qualifying development shall be provided in the same manner as the access to market rate dwelling units. Access shall include shared principal entrance(s) with the same elevators or stairwells, and independent entrances to each unit typical of townhomes.
                     (vi)   The sizes and number of bedrooms in the affordable dwelling units shall be approximately proportional to the sizes and number of bedrooms in the market rate units (e.g. for number of bedrooms, if 25% of the market rate units consist of two bedrooms, then 25% of the affordable units shall also have two bedrooms, etc., maintaining a proportional distribution across unit types within the gualifying development). For purposes of this division, "approximately proportional" shall mean that the percentage of each type of unit among the affordable dwelling units shall be within five percentage points of each type of unit among the market rate dwelling units.
                     (vii)   The exterior appearance of affordable units shall be the same as the market rate units and shall provide exterior building materials and finishes of the same type and quality.
                     (viii)   The interior building materials and finishes of the affordable units shall be the same type and guality as the market rate units, including but not limited to all electrical and plumbing fixtures, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, and decorative finishes. Alternative building materials and finishes may be considered for approval within the affordable units to reduce energy costs and water consumption.

                     (iv)   The parking reduction is supported by a parking demand study prepared by a qualified expert. The parking demand study must include data obtained from a minimum of three similar local multi-family developments within the ECFRPC boundaries in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the Institute of Transportation Engineers Publication, Parking Generation. The study should also evaluate any nearby parking which is available for exclusive use by the residents.
                     (v)   Parking is available within 600 feet of the proposed development which may consist of options such as on-street parking, parking lots, or parking garages available for use by residents of the proposed development. When off-site parking is relied on to meet parking requirements for the proposed development, the donating site will be reviewed to ensure that the donating site will remain a conforming lot.
                  C.    Parking requirements will be eliminated for mixed-use residential qualifying developments which comply with all the city codes except those applicable to use, height, density, floor area ratio and parking, where the property is designated as transit oriented development in the city's Comprehensive Plan.
