2017-4147 Ordinance WORKFORCE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING — COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS ORDINANCE NO. 2017-4147 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH YEAR 2025 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, BY AMENDING CHAPTER 1, ENTITLED "FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT;" "OBJECTIVE 1: LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS," TO ALLOW FOR INCREASED DENSITY WITHIN CERTAIN FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES FOR THE LIMITED PURPOSES OF PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND WORKFORCE HOUSING PURPOSES AND TO ALLOW FOR RESIDENTIAL USES IN THE "PARKING (P)" FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY; AMENDING CHAPTER 3, ENTITLED "HOUSING ELEMENT," TO PROVIDE INCENTIVES FOR DEVELOPING WORKFORCE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING; CLARIFY POLICIES RELATED TO WORKFORCE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING; AMENDING CHAPTER 6, ENTITLED "CONSERVATION/ COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT ELEMENT," TO ALLOW FOR DENSITY INCREASES IN ORDER TO INCENTIVIZE WORKFORCE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS/CONSTRUCTION; PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; TRANSMITTAL; REPEALER; SEVERABILITY; AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach desires to create a program to promote the construction of housing affordable to households with incomes at or below 140% of the area-wide median income; and WHEREAS, 51 percent of the City households are paying more than 30 percent of their income towards housing; and WHEREAS, 20 percent of all homeowners on Miami Beach are paying 30 percent to 49.9 percent of their household income for housing; and WHEREAS, 26 percent of all renters are paying 30 percent to 49.0 percent of their household income for housing; and WHEREAS, 29 percent of all renters are paying 50 percent or more of their household income for housing; and WHEREAS, the construction of workforce housing is intended to: (1) allow households with incomes at or below 140% of the area-wide median income to have greater housing choices in the City; (2) increase the availability of housing in the City for public employees and other workers whose income cannot support the high cost of housing that is located close to their workplace and who, as a result, are increasingly priced out of housing opportunities; (3) assist City employers in reducing critical labor Page 1 of 9 shortages of skilled and semi- skilled workers by providing housing that will be accessible to the worker's workplaces; and (4) reduce traffic congestion by shortening commute distances for employees who work in the City but who otherwise would live elsewhere and encouraging more employees to live in the city, rather than commute in; and WHEREAS, the single most important step the City can take to make housing cost less for most people is to change city land development regulations to allow more affordable and workforce housing to be built, which means increasing the allowable building heights and densities, in places that are within a reasonable walking distance of transit; and WHEREAS, there are often market barriers to the construction of housing; and WHEREAS, in an effort to support both affordable, low income and workforce housing, the City seeks to increase the density limits in certain multi-family residential, mixed use, commercial, performance standard, and town center districts in order to be able to enable such housing opportunities; and WHEREAS, the City seeks to change the rules to allow new housing to be built, and the private sector will do the rest. If this de facto supply constraint is removed, it should be possible to increase the supply to the point where people with average-paying jobs can afford to buy or rent homes without public subsidy; and WHEREAS, the amendments set forth below are necessary to accomplish all of the above objectives. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA: SECTION 1. The following amendments to the City's 2025 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element are hereby adopted: CHAPTER 1 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OBJECTIVE 1: LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS Policy 1.2 The land development regulations which implement this Comprehensive Plan shall, at a minimum, be based on and be consistent with s. 163.3202, F.S., and shall further be based on the following standards for land use category, land use intensity and land use: * * * Page 2 of 9 Pursuant to the procedures and limitations of the Land Development Regulations, the maximum density of the underlying future land use category may be increased by up to 80 percent beyond the allowable density in the underlying future land use category for developments that incorporate workforce or affordable housing units. The additional density may only be utilized for workforce or affordable housing units. Parking (P) Purpose: to provide development opportunities for existing and new parking facilities. Uses which may be permitted; Parking facilities and commercial and residential uses when located on frontage opposite a land use category that permits commercial use. Intensity Limits: Intensity may be limited by such set back, height, floor area ratio and/or other restrictions as the City Commission acting in a legislative capacity determines can effectuate the purpose of this land use category and otherwise implement complementary public policy.

RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. ANALYSIS BACKGROUND On January 25, 2017, the City Commission held a workforce and affordable housing workshop. As part of this workshop, the Commission recommended that the following matters be referred to the Land Use and Development Committee for discussion and recommendation: 1. The requirements of Miami-Dade County for municipalities to establish workforce housing action plans;and 2. Applicable Comprehensive Plan Amendments and potential incentives,as it pertains to workforce housing in the City. On February 15, 2017, the Land Use Committee discussed these items and recommended that the following amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations be referred to the Planning Board: 1. Amend the Comprehensive Plan to reduce the goal of workforce and affordable units from the current 16,000 to 6,300,as well as amend applicable objectives, policies and goals related to maximum densities. Page 538 of 1633 2. Amend the Land Development Regulations to provide minimum and average unit size reductions for workforce and affordable housing projects. 3. Amend the Land Development Regulations to provide required off-street parking reductions for workforce and affordable housing projects. On March 1, 2017, at the request of Commissioner John Aleman, the Mayor and City Commission referred the subject items to Planning Board. There are two companion items related to requirements and incentives in the Land Development Regulations for workforce housing and affordable housing. PLANNING ANALYSIS The Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations contain policies intended to encourage the development of affordable housing. However, the incentives have been limited and have not been very successful at encouraging the development of new affordable housing units without the use of public subsidies. Additionally, due to increases in the desirability and land values in Miami Beach, there has been a loss of housing suitable for the workforce. This has led to much of the City's workforce having to relocate outside of the City, leading to increased reliance on single-occupancy vehicles and traffic congestion along the City's limited access points. The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment would further incentivize the development of workforce and affordable housing by providing for additional density for the construction of such units. Additionally, the amendment ensures that other policies that apply to the development of affordable housing also apply to the development of workforce housing. The density increase allows the City to provide an 80 percent density increase beyond the underlying allowable density to be used only for workforce or affordable units. Additional requirements and restrictions may also be placed within the Land Development Regulations. The amendment also modifies the City's objectives for the development of workforce and affordable housing. It is proposed that Objective 1 of the Housing Element be modified from requiring the maintenance of 16,000 affordable units by 2020 to a more attainable standard of 6,800 workforce and affordable units by 2030. Due to limitations in floor area and the high cost of land, the City feels that the 6,800 number can be achieved with the proposed modifications to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations. City Charter Issues The request for modifications to the Comprehensive Plan is consistent with City Charter Section 1.03 (c), related to FAR,which partially states the following: The floor area ratio of any property or street end viithin the City of Miami Beach shall not be increased by zoning, transfer,or any other means from its current zone floor area ratio as it exists on the date of adoption of this Charter Amendment(November 7, 2001), including any limitations on floor area ratios Mich are in effect by virtue of development agreements through the full term of such agreements, unless such increase in zone floor area ratio for any such property shall first be approved by a vote of the electors of the City of Miami Beach. While the proposed ordinances increase the allowable density for workforce and affordable housing, increased density does not equate to increased FAR. While FAR results in the amount of square footage that can be constructed, density relates to the number of units per acre that can be constructed. Density, therefore relates to the number and size of units permitted within the allowable square footage. Comprehensive Planning Process Page 539 of 1633 This application includes a proposed text amendment to Policy 1.2 of the Future Land Use element of the Compressive Plan. Under Section 163.3184(2), F.S., this amendment shall follow the expedited state review process for adoption of comprehensive plan amendments. This process requires a public hearing by the local planning agency (Planning Board), a public transmittal hearing before the City Commission, after which the amendment must be transmitted to several state agencies for a 30-day review period, and a final adoption public hearing before the City Commission. The amendment is effective 31 days after it is adopted if there are no appeals. Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning The 2005 Florida Legislature adopted laws which are incorporated in the Florida Statutes, requiring each local government to adopt an intergovernmental coordination element as part of their comprehensive plan, as well as a statutory mandate to implement public school concurrency. The overlay district as proposed does increase the maximum residential density,therefore a preliminary school concurrency determination is not necessary. Final site plan approval of any proposed development on the site is contingent upon meeting Public School Concurrency requirements and the applicant will be required to obtain a valid School Concurrency Determination Certificate (Certificate) issued by the Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Such Certificate will state the number of seats reserved at each school level. In the event sufficient seats are not available, a proportionate share mitigation plan shall be incorporated into a tri-party development agreement and duly executed prior to the issuance of a Building Permit. PLANNING BOARD REVIEW On May 23, 2017, the Planning Board discussed the item and continued it to June 27, 2017. The Planning Board transmitted the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment Ordinance to the City Commission on June 27, 2017, with a favorable recommendation. UPDATE The subject amendment was approved at First Reading on July 26, 2017. All required comments from the applicable review agencies have been received. The only concern expressed was in comments from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), specifically with regard to potential impacts of 6,800 additional housing units on certain State Roads (Julia Tuttle and MacArthur Causeways). City staff has analyzed the potential impact of 6,800 additional housing units, which is the maximum permitted under this amendment, at the increased density proposed. The analysis by the City shows no impact to actual Levels of Service on the Julia Tuttle or MacArthur Causeway, when taking into account reversed traffic patterns (i.e. people both living AND working on Miami Beach, as opposed to commuting back and forth to work). City staff, as of this writing, has transmitted a response and is in communication with FDOT to resolve their concerns. In the unlikely event that FDOT requests a modification to address future density, a non-substantive amendment may be proposed on the floor of the City Commission meeting, in order to address future density increases. CONCLUSION The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
