Resolution Establishing Inventory List of All Real Property Within Its Jurisdiction to Which County Holds Fee Simple Title That is Appropriate for Use as Affordable Housing
body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
Section 125.379, Florida Statutes requires each county to prepare an inventory list of real property within its jurisdiction to which the county holds fee simple title that is appropriate for use as affordable housing. Health and Human Services received a list of parcels from Property Management that the County holds fee simple title to in order to determine if any of the properties were appropriate for affordable housing. After a thorough review of those properties, it was determined that only one parcel was appropriate for affordable housing.
The 2023 Florida Legislature amended Section 125.379, Florida Statutes, along with other matters related to housing, through the adoption of Committee Substitute for Senate Bill 102, which was enacted as Chapter 2023-17, Laws of Florida, and is referred to as the “Live Local Act”. Effective October 1, 2023, the “Live Local Act” requires the inventory list to be reviewed by the governing board at a public hearing, adopted by Resolution, and made publicly available on the County’s website to encourage potential development. Staff presents the attached listing as “Exhibit A” displaying one parcel that is appropriate for affordable housing and a resolution for the Board’s review, approval and posting on the county’s website.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
