4.7 FINDINGS
(A) The City Commission has determined that there is a severe
housing shortage in the City of Delray Beach that is affordable to the everyday
working families and citizens of the City; and
(B) Florida Statutes § 166.04151 provides that a municipality may
adopt and maintain any ordinance that is adopted for the purpose of increasing
the supply of affordable housing using land use mechanisms such as
inclusionary housing ordinances not withstanding any other provision of law; and
(C) The City Commission recognizes that there is a growing gap
between housing costs and wages in the City; and

preserving the character and quality of neighborhoods which requires assuring
the availability of workforce housing for moderate and lower income persons in
the City; and
(E) The City recognizes that the need to provide workforce housing is
critical to maintaining a diversified and sustainable City having the character and
sense of a community where people can live and work in the same area; and

TO:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
This Ordinance is before City Commission for second reading and second public hearing to amend Land Development
Regulations (LDR) to create a new Article 4.7, "Family/Workforce Housing", enacting 4.4.6(H) (6), "Density Bonuses",
amending Article 4.5, "Overlay and Environmental Management Districts", by enacttng 4.5.9, "Southwest Neighborhood
Overlay D1strict", 4.5.10, "Southwest 10th Street Overlay D1strict", and 4.5.11, "Carver Estates Overlay District", to provide
for regulations and incentives to bwld workforce housing and to create overlay districts which are entttled to density bonuses
for the proVision of workforce housmg units.
On October 19,2004, the City Commission approved Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2004-2 which included text changes
to the Residential Medium land use description. The language was amended to allow increases in densities in an overlay
district in the Southwest Neighborhood Redevelopment Area consistent with the adopted Southwest Area Neighborhood
Redevelopment Plan. The increases are allowed subject to a density bonus program outlined in this ordinance.
At the same meeting of October 19,2004, City Commission considered a first reading of a rezoning request for the Cottages
of Banyan from R-1-A and CF to RM. As part of the request, and to achieve cons1stency with the Comprehensive Plan and
the Southwest Area Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan, the developer voluntarily agreed to provide a minimum of 20%
workforce housing units. After discussing the method by which the workforce housing component was to be enforced, the
Commission continued the request and directed staff to accelerate the Density Bonus Ordinance for the Southwest Area
Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan and include this property.
The proposed ordinance and related LDR amendment includes the creation of three (3) overlay districts (Southwest
Neighborhood Overlay District, Southwest 10th Street Overlay District, and Carver Estates Overlay Distnct) in which density
bonuses are awarded for the provision of workforce housing.
On November 15, 2004, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing in conjunctton with the request. Several
members of the public spoke with the following concerns:
1. Thirty (30) year fixed mortgage vs. creative fmancing
2. Four member household vs. one or two member household
3. How do you monitor who the property is sold to at a later date
4. Standardized form for restrictive covenants
5. Providing .5 of a unit is not enough incentive for 4 bedroom units
The Board voted 4-1 to recommend that the request be approved by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the
staff report, fmding that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets the criteria set forth in Land
Development Regulations (lDR) Section 2.4.5(M) (Amendment to Land Development Regulations with resolution of the 5
items of concern prior to second reading of the ordinance. At the fIrst reading on November 16, 2004, the City Commission
passed the Ordinance No. 66-04.
With regard to concern #1, the Ordinance was modifIed prior to first reading to accommodate different types of mortgages
based upon income level. Regarding #2, the definition of "Adjusted Median Income" in the Ordinance is "the Palm Beach
County median income, based on afami!J offour, as published l?Y Florida Housing Finance Agenry': This standard 1S easier to mOnitor for
re-sales rather than a fluctuattng price based on family size. In response to #3, the restrictive covenants may provide language
that will require notifIcation to Community Improvement upon transfer. Regarding #4, the standardized form will be
developed and presented to the City CommissiOn at a later date for adoption by resolution. Regarding concern #5, staff felt
this was adequate and that it could be revisited, if needed, at a later date.
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 66-04 on second and final reading.

RE: Workforce Housing Ordinance
Dear Paul,
The purpose of this letter is to confirm with you that City staff will be following up to the
Workforce Housing Ordinance with an amendment to the RM zoning district regulations in order
to accommodate workforce housing in the overlay districts.
During the drafting of the Workforce Housing Ordinance we had briefly discussed the possibility
that the required setbacks in the RM zoning district may need to be reduced in order to achieve
the desired densities. There were so many details and issues involved in the ordinance, and it was
on a somewhat of a fast track for adoption, that the setback problem was never thoroughly
examined. However, unless we address it in the very near future we may have an unworkable
ordinance.
Densities of 30 units/acre and above are achievable in the CBD district in part because the
required setbacks are fairly minimal. The RM zoning requires a 25 ft. front setback. If that is not
reduced (to at least 15 feet), there may not be enough buildable area to work with. Front setbacks
of 10' and 15' are fairly typical in traditional downtown developments (such as Abacoa).
I realize that the ordinance is nearing adoption and my intent is not to delay anything, rather, I
just wanted to let the City Commission know that we will be following up with an amendment to
address this issue.
Sincerely,
Diane Colonna
Executive Director

DISTRICTS WHICH ARE ENTITLED TO DENSITY BONUSES FOR THE

TO:
SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND
On October 19, 2004 the City Commission approved Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2004-2
which included text changes to the Residential Medium land use description. The language was
amended to allow increases in densities in an overlay district in the Southwest Neighborhood
Redevelopment Area consistent with the adopted Southwest Area Neighborhood
Redevelopment Plan. These increases are allowed subject to a density bonus program outlined
in this ordinance.
At this same meeting of October 19, 2004 the City Commission considered a first reading of a
rezoning request for the Cottages of Banyan (Southwest corner of Southwest 10th Street and
Swinton Avenue) from R-1-A and CF to RM. As part of the request, and to achieve consistency
with the Comprehensive Plan and the Southwest Area Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan, the
developer has voluntarily agreed to provide a minimum of 20% workforce housing units. The
workforce housing requirements were to be enforced utilizing a restrictive covenant specific to
this development. After discussing the methods of conveying the workforce units the City
Commission continued the request and gave direction to Staff to accelerate the density bonus
ordinance being created in conjunction with the Southwest Area Neighborhood Redevelopment
Plan and add this property. This Family Workforce Housing ordinance is now before you for
consideration.
ANALYSIS
The proposed ordinance and related LOR amendment includes the creation of three overlay
districts in which density bonuses are awarded for the provision of workforce housing in the
very low, low or moderate category. The three districts include the Southwest Neighborhood
Overlay District, Southwest 10th Street Overlay District, and Carver Estates Overlay District.
The creation of the Southwest Neighborhood Overlay District, the boundaries of which are
depicted on page 6 of the attached ordinance, is being implemented as directed in the adopted
Southwest Area Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan. The other districts (noted on pages 3 and
\CD
City Commission Documentation
November 16, 2004
Density Bonus
7) are being created to accommodate a privately initiated development application and the
future redevelopment and expansion of the Carver Estates development. The goal of each of
the Districts is to assure that as development occurs an affordable workforce housing
component is included and to provide opportunities for existing residents to remain in the area.
In the Southwest Neighborhood Overlay District the density program would allow additional
density above 12 units to the acre to a maximum of 24 units per acre, based upon provision of
workforce housing units. The bonus would vary based upon affordability, home size, and
ownership vs. rental units. Greater bonus units are allotted for very low vs. low or moderate, for
larger 4 or above bedroom homes vs. 3 bedroom homes, and for ownership units vs. rental
units. The resulting workforce housing units can be integrated into the project or provided
offsite with the Delray Beach CSDG (Community Development Block Grant) target area (page 4
of the ordinance). Instead of, or in addition to providing workforce units, bonus units could be
awarded by contributing to a housing trust fund ($60,000 per bonus unit) or by donating land
(buildable lots). In these cases the housing trust would utilize the money to fund activities
necessary to provide workforce housing. With the donation of buildable lots a bonus unit would
be awarded for each $60,000 of assessed value. The workforce housing units are to be
compatible in exterior design, appearance, construction and quality of materials and contain
comparable HVAC systems and appliances as the proposed market units. Further, the
developer shall endeavor to provide workforce housing units that include unit types in the same
proportion as the market rate units. All workforce housing units are to remain affordable for a
period of no less than 30 years and will be enforced through recorded deed restrictions.
With the Carver Estates and Southwest 10th Street Overlay Districts a maximum of 12 units per
acre is allowed. To achieve the maximum of 12 units per acre the developments must
substantially meet the existing performance standards as well as provide a minimum of 20%
workforce housing units. As with the Southwest Neighborhood Overlay District the workforce
housing units are to be compatible in exterior design, appearance, construction and quality of
materials and contain comparable HVAC systems and appliances with the market units. Further
the developer shall endeavor to provide workforce housing units that include unit types in the
same proportion as the market rate units. Notwithstanding the above within the Southwest 10th
Street Overlay District at least 75% of the workforce housing units shall be 3 bedroom units
offered for initial sale not to exceed $225,000 and 25% of the workforce housing may be 2
bedroom units offered at the low income afford ability rate. All workforce housing units are to
remain affordable for a period of no less than 30 years and will be enforced through recorded
deed restrictions.
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5), approval of an LDR amendment must be based upon a
finding that the amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of
the Comprehensive Plan. This amendment furthers the following Comprehensive Plan policy
and is consistent with the recently modified Future Land Use Element Medium Density
residential text description.
Future Land Use Element Policv C-1.7 The following pertains to the Southwest
Neighborhood Redevelopment Area:
This area is ~enerallY defined as the area bounded by West Atlantic Avenue on the north,
Southwest 10t Street on the south, Interstate 95 on the west, and Swinton Avenue on the east.

Density Bonus
Many of parcels in the area contain vacant or dilapidated structures, substandard parking and
substandard landscaping. The area also contains residential areas identified as "Rehabilitation"
on the Residential Neighborhood Categorization Map contained in the Housing Element.
The Southwest Area Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the City Commission
at its meeting of June 3, 2003. The plan establishes a blueprint for the revitalization and
stabilization of the area. The Southwest Area Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan is divided into
five sub-areas based upon current and proposed land uses. The sub-areas serve to define
potential boundaries for the phased implementation of the various plan components. Future
development in the area must be in accordance with the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan.
[Added by Amendment 04-1]
Recently amended Medium Density residential text reads:
This designation is applied to land which is developed, or is to be developed, at a density
between five and twelve units per acre. Residential density is limited to a maximum of 12
dwelling units per acre, except within the portion of the Southwest Neighborhood Area Overlay
District, between the commercial area along West Atlantic Avenue and Southwest 2nd Street,
from Swinton Avenue to Interstate 95, where the density may exceed 12 units per acre, up to a
maximum of 24 units per acre subject to conditional use approval and the recommendations
and strategies outlined in the Southwest Area Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan. Such land is
usually developed in planned communities or exists in older areas where there are duplexes
and condominiums. Home ownership is characteristic of this designation. Where this
designation exists, uses other than those which are residential in character shall not be
considered. [Added by Amendment 04-2]
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION
The Planning and Zoning Board will consider this ordinance at their November 15, 2004
meeting and the results will be reported to the Commission at their November 16, 2004 meeting.
CRA Review
The CRA reviewed the LDR amendment at their November 11, 2004 meeting and unanimously
