HEARING)
MARCH 31, 2006
- REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 4. 2006
(SECOND READING/SECOND PUBLIC
DATE:
This Ordinance is before Commission for second reading and second public hearing for a City initiated
amendment to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Article 4.7, "Family Workforce Housing".
The Ordinance modifies the Workforce Housing Ordinance, Article 4.7 of the L.D.R.s. It establishes
an additional workforce housing overlay district, known as the Infill Workforce Housing Area, located
east of 1-95 and west of the Intracoastal outside of the coastal high hazard area for properties
predominandy zoned RM.
It provides for the use of dormers, porches, and other architectural features. It provides that the Infill
Workforce Housing Area Overlay District density shall not exceed 18 units per acre.
It strengthens the covenants and restrictions requiring the workforce housing restrictions to remain in
effect for 40 years instead of 30 and applies the requirements to resales, conversions of rentals to owner
occupied property and provides for notice to the City.
The Ordinance references other incentives such as the ability to use lots of record of at least 40 feet for
workforce housing as long as certain designs are used and other criteria is met. The designs are
included in the ordinance.
The Family/Workforce Housing Ordinance, adopted by the Commission on December 6, 2004,
includes incentives to provide workforce housing by allowing density bonuses within the Southwest
Neighborhood Overlay District. The program is being expanded to provide additional opportunities
and incentives for the provision of workforce housing. Additional information can be found in the
attached Planning & Zoning memo.
On February 27, 2006, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing in conjunction with the
request. There was one member of the public that spoke in support of the amendment.
After reviewing the staff report, the Board voted 7-0 to recommend that the request be approved by
adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, finding that the request is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan, and finding that the request meets the criteria set forth in Land
Development Regulations (LDR) Section 2.4.5(M) (Amendment to Land Development Regulations).
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 18-06 on second and final reading.

TO:
SUBJECT: MEETING OF MAR 21,2006
CONSIDERATION OF A CITY-INITIATED AMENDMENT TO THE LAND
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (LDRs) ARTICLE 4.7 "FAMILY WORKFORCE
HOUSING", SECTION 4.4.6 "MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (RM) DISTRICT",
SECTION 4.4.9 "GENERAL COMMERCIAL (GC) DISTRICT", SECTION 4.5
"OVERLAY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS", SECTION
4.3.4(J) "HEIGHT", SECTION 4.4.13(1) "PERFORMANCE STANDARDS" AND
SECTION 4.1.4 "USES OF LOTS OF RECORD", PROVIDING A REQUIREMENT
AND INCENTIVES FOR THE PROVISION OF WORKFORCE HOUSING.
The FamilylWorkforce Housing Ordinance, adopted by the City Commission on December 6,
2004, includes incentives to provide workforce housing by allowing density bonuses within the
Southwest Neighborhood Overlay District. The proposed amendments to the Land
Development Regulations are related to revisions in the City's Workforce Housing Program.
The program is being expanded to provide additional opportunities and incentives for the
provision of workforce housing. Major revisions to the program include the following:
1. Establishment of an additional workforce housing overlay district known as the Intill
Workforce Housing Area. This area includes the Swap Shop property on North Federal
Highway (zoned General Commercial) and all RM zoned property, east of 1-95 that does
not lie within the coastal high hazard area. A maximum density of 18 units per acre is
permitted in this area through density bonuses for the provision of workforce housing.
2. An increase in the maximum density from 12 units per acre to 24 units per acre within the
Carver Estates Overlay District through density bonuses for the provisions of workforce
housing.
3. References to the newly created Delray Beach Community Land Trust have been added.
Lump sum payments for units under the Density Bonus Program are to be paid to the
Trust.
4. The time which units are to remain affordable has been increased from 30 to 40 years.
The above four items are addressed primarily through revisions to LDR Article 4.7
"FamilylWorkforce Housing." LDR Section 4.5 "Overlay and Environmental Management
Districts" was modified to add the new Intill Workforce Housing Area to the list of overlay
districts and revisions were made to the Section 4.4.6 "Medium Density Residential (RM)
District" and Section 4.4.9 "General Commercial (GC) District" regulations to allow
developments with a density greater than 12 units per acre within this area. Additional
modifications were made to the RM zoning district regulations to allow relaxed development
standards within the infill Workforce Housing Area and Carver Estates Overlay District for
developments which provide workforce housing.

City Commission Documentation, March 21, 2006
FamilylWorkforce Housing Ordinances
5. Include an additional incentive to provide workforce housing units by allowing lots of record
between 40 feet and 50 feet to be developed for workforce housing.
This item is addressed through modification of LDR Section 4.1.4 "Use of Lots of Record" to
allow currently unbuildable lots of record with frontage between 40 and 50 feet to be
developed for workforce housing. The lots must be at least 4,000 sq. ft. in size, be located in
the R-1A, RL or RM zone districts, meet the applicable setbacks (side setbacks are reduced
to 5') and other development standards in the zoning district as well as meet typical designs
represented by sketches within LDR Article 4.7 "FamilylWorkforce Housing."
6. Requires workforce housing to be provided where increases in density are requested in the
CBD zone district.
This item is addressed through modification of LDR Section 4.4.13(1) "Performance
Standards." These performance standards must be addressed as part of the Conditional Use
process to allow development with a density in excess of 30 units per acre within the Central
Core area or in excess of 12 units per acre in the West Atlantic Neighborhood. Language has
been added which requires developments to provide 20% of the additional units (above 30
units per acre) as workforce housing units, divided equally between low and moderate income
levels.
7. Requires workforce housing to be provided in cases were increases in height are
requested.
This item is addressed through modification of LDR Section 4.3.4.(J) "Height.". This section
deals with requirements which must be addressed to increase height above 48 feet. Language
has been added to require developments which increase the intensity by adding an additional
floor to provide workforce housing. At least 20% of the additional residential units must be
divided equally between low and moderate income levels.
The Planning and Zoning Board considered the proposed ordinances at their meeting of February 27,
2006. There was one member of the public that spoke in support of the amendment and after reviewing
the staff report, the Board voted 7 to 0 to recommend approval of the related ordinances.
By motion approve on first reading Ordinance Nos. 16-06,17-06,18-06,19-06 and 20-06 which
implement City-initiated amendments to Article 4.7 "Family Workforce Housing", Section 4.4.6
"Medium Density Residential (RM) District", Section 4.4.9 "General Commercial (GC) District".
Section 4.5 "Overlay and Environmental Management Districts", Section 4.3.4(J) "Height", Section
4.4.13(1) "Performance Standards", and Section 4.1.4 "Uses Of Lots Of Record" of the Land
Development Regulations, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report and
finding that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set forth in
Section 2.4.5(M) of the Land Development Regulations.

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
