PUBLIC NOTICE CITY OF PEMBROKE PINES, FLORIDA Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) Affordable Housing Incentive Report October 29, 2023As a recipient of the State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) program funds, the City is required by Florida Statute 420.9076 to establish an Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC). The AHAC is required to review policies, procedures, ordinances, and land development regulations pertaining to affordable housing within the City. The AHAC then has the responsibility to recommend monetary, non-monetary, and regulatory incentives for affordable housing in the City of Pembroke Pines. The AHAC, at its October 23, 2023, meeting, approved the following recommendations as part of their report: City Staff to post and implement the procedures to meet the Live Local Acts requirement for expedited permitting. The City should only consider adopting an ordinance for ad valorem tax reductions or exemptions, in accordance with the Live Local Act (Senate Bill 102) for affordable projects that address the greatest long-term city need housing in the low-income spectrum (very-low and low income = 80% AMI and lower). City staff to monitor and report on the application of Broward County Land Use Policy 2.16.3 and the Live Local Act to the Board. The potential increase in residential densities that result in the implementation of these two policies may impact the direction the city may wish to approach further local density incentives on affordable housing. City Staff to work with City Commission to define Major Transit Corridor in compliance with the Live Local Act. The City to consider permitting Accessory Dwelling Units by right in residential districts and create guidelines for their development. City Planning and Zoning Board to continue to consider flexible lot configurations for affordable housing using planned districts or through the granting of variances where reasonable. City staff to maintain public land inventory compliant with the Live Local Act. Other AHAC Recommendations Consider partnerships with schools, churches, hospitals, and other large employers - specifically reach out to Broward County schools - and encourage the creation of workforce housing either on-site or nearby parcels as an incentive for employment. Where Broward County Schools is considering closing any school, coordinate with municipalities to create Public-private partnerships or public-public partnerships for the development of affordable housing on the school site. State of Florida to work with insurance companies toward the reduction of insurance premiums related to Affordable Housing Units. The City Commission will consider the AHACs recommended report on November 15, 2023, at its regularly scheduled meeting.
