CONSIDERATION OF PRIVATELY INITIATED AMENDMENTS TO THE LAND
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (LDRS) SECTION 4.4.19, "MIXED
INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL (MIC) DISTRICT;" SECTION 4.5.15, "THE
1-95/CSX RAILROAD CORRIDOR OVERLAY DISTRICT;" AND ARTICLE 4.7,
"FAMILY WORKFORCE HOUSING," TO PROVIDE REGULATIONS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE CREATION OF A NEW WORKFORCE HOUSING
OVERLAY DISTRICT.
The item before the City Commission is approval of privately initiated amendments to the Land
Development Regulations to provide regulations associated with the creation of a new
Workforce Housing Overlay District.
The Family/Workforce Housing Program includes provisions for developers to receive density
bonuses when workforce housing units are provided in development projects within the
Southwest Neighborhood Overlay District, Carver Estates Overlay District and Infill Workforce
Housing Area.
The privately-initiated text amendments seek to add an additional Workforce Housing Overlay
District within the MIC zoning district on Depot Road, between 1-95 and the CSX Railroad.
Residential development will be permitted through the conditional use process within the overlay
area, to a maximum of 24 units per acre, with a requirement that 25% of the units be workforce
housing, subject to the requirements of Article 4.7, "Family/Workforce Housing." Substantial
compliance with the performance standards of 4.4.6(1) will also be required to exceed 6 units
per acre within the overlay district. The development standards for residential development
within the overlay district will be the same as within the Southwest Neighborhood and Carver
Estates Overlay Districts and in the Infill Workforce Housing Area. These development
standards were developed to accommodate the higher densities permitted within workforce
housing overlay districts. The proposed changes are supported by Comprehensive Plan
Amendment 07-1, which was adopted by the City Commission on February 6,2007.
As participation in the Workforce Housing Program continues, it is necessary to modify the
regulations from time to time to increase efficiency and to ensure that the intended results are
achieved. The proposed LDR text amendments will enhance the City's Workforce Housing
Program by adding an additional Overlay District. With a minimum of 25% workforce housing
units required within the 1-95/CSX Railroad Corridor Overlay District, there is a potential for an
additional 78 workforce units to be constructed within the City. By expanding the program, the
proposed text amendments are consistent with and will further the Goals, Objectives, and
Policies of the Comprehensive Plan which requires the City to ensure that there continues to be
an adequate supply of housing to accommodate very low, low, and moderate income
households.
12.8
City Commission Meeting of March 5, 2007
Amendment to LDRs Pertaining to Workforce Housing Program - 1-95/CSX Overlay District
Page 2
The text amendment was considered by the Planning and Zoning Board on February 26, 2007.
No one from the public spoke on the issue. The Board discussed the amendment and
recommended approval on a 4 to 0 vote (Krall stepped down, Halberg and Zacks absent), by
adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report and finding that the
amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set forth in Section
2.4.5(M) of the Land Development Regulations.
By motion, approve on first reading Ordinance No. 10-07, amending LDR Section 4.4.19, "Mixed
Industrial and Commercial (MIC) District;" Section 4.5.15, "The 1-95/CSX Railroad Corridor
Overlay District;" and Article 4.7, "Family Workforce Housing," to provide regulations associated
with the creation of a new Workforce Housing Overlay District, 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, with second reading to occur on March 20, 2007.

AGENDA ITEM:
CONSIDERATION OF PRIVATELY INITIATED AMENDMENTS TO THE
LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (LDRS), SECTION 4.4.19,
"MIXED INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL (MIC) DISTRICT;"
SECTION 4.5.15, "THE 1-95/CSX RAILROAD CORRIDOR OVERLAY
DISTRICT;" AND ARTICLE 4.7, "FAMILY WORKFORCE HOUSING,"
TO PROVIDE REGULATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CREATION
OF A NEW WORKFORCE HOUSING OVERLAY DISTRICT.
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission
regarding privately initiated amendments to the Land Development Regulations to provide
regulations associated with the creation of a new Workforce Housing Overlay District.
Pursuant to Section 1.1.6, an amendment to the text of the Land Development Regulations may
not be made until a recommendation is obtained from the Planning and Zoning Board.
The Family/Workforce Housing Ordinance, adopted by the City Commission on December 6,
2004, included incentives to provide workforce housing by allowing density bonuses within the
Southwest Neighborhood Overlay District. The program was expanded with amendments
adopted in April 2006 to provide additional opportunities and incentives for the provision of
workforce housing. Major revisions included establishment of an additional workforce housing
overlay district known as the Infill Workforce Housing Area and increasing the maximum density
within the Carver Estates Overlay District from 12 units per acre to 24 units per acre. The
amendments also included adding references to the newly created Delray Beach Community
Land Trust, increasing the affordability time frames from 30 to 40 years; allowing lots of record
between 40 feet and 50 feet to be developed for workforce housing; and requiring the provision
of workforce housing to qualify for increased density or height in the CBD zoning district.
The program was amended again in July 2006 to award the same density bonus to "for sale"
units as "rental units"; to not require similar proportions of "for sale" units to "rental units" within a
project when funded by state financing programs and when it contains at least 20% "for sale"
workforce units; and to add a provision that the Community Land Trust (CL T) receives rights of
first refusal on workforce housing units developed on non-CL T owned lands.
A privately-initiated amendment is currently being proposed to add an additional Workforce
Housing Overlay District on Depot Road, between 1-95 and the CSX Railroad. This proposed
text amendments will implement several changes adopted as part of Comprehensive Plan
Amendment 07-1.
The privately-initiated text amendments seek to add an additional Workforce Housing Overlay
District within the MIC zoning district on Depot Road, between 1-95 and the CSX Railroad.
Planning and Zoning Board Memorandum Staff Report, February 26, 2007
Amendment to LDRs Pertaining to Workforce Housing Program - 1-95/CSX Railroad Corridor
Residential development will be permitted through the conditional use process within the overlay
area, to a maximum of 24 units per acre, with a requirement that 25% of the units be workforce
housing, subject to the requirements of Article 4.7, "FamilylWorkforce Housing." Substantial
compliance with the performance standards of 4.4.6(1) will also be required to exceed 6 units
per acre within the overlay district. The development standards for residential development
within the overlay district will be the same as within the Southwest Neighborhood and Carver
Estates Overlay Districts and in the Infill Workforce Housing Area. These development
standards were developed to accommodate the higher densities permitted within workforce
housing overlay districts. The proposed changes are supported by Comprehensive Plan
Amendment 07-1, which was adopted by the City Commission on February 6,2007.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
LOR Section 2.4.5(MH5) (Findinas): Pursuant to LOR Section 2.4.5(M)(5) (Findings), in
addition to LOR Section 1.1.6(A), the City Commission must make a finding that the text
amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted and
the following applicable Objectives and Policies were noted:
Future Land Use Element Objective A-5
The City shall maintain its Land Development Regulations, which shall be regularly reviewed
and updated, to provide streamlining of processes and to accommodate planned unit
developments (PUD), mixed-use developments, and other innovative development practices.
As participation in the Workforce Housing Program continues, it will be necessary to modify the
regulations from time to time to increase efficiency and to ensure that the intended results are
achieved. Expansion of the program to include an additional Overlay District will create an
opportunity for additional workforce housing units to be constructed within the City. Based on
the land area within the overlay district, approximately 78 affordable housing units may
ultimately be developed.
Housina Element Objective B-1
The City's existing housing supply accommodates households having a wide range of economic
ability. There is very little vacant land left, especially large tracts, for new housing development.
Through its housing programs, the City shall work to ensure that there continues to be an
adequate supply of housing to accommodate vel)llow, low, and moderate income households,
as well as manufactured and mobile homes.
Housina Element Objective B-2
Redevelopment and the development of new land shall result in the provision of a variety of
housing types which shall continue to accommodate the diverse makeup of the City's
demographic profile, and meet the housing needs identified in this Element.
In addition to the above objectives, several text amendments were adopted as part of
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 07-1 to support the inclusion of residential development (with
workforce housing) within the proposed Overlay District. These changes included a modification
of the description of the Commerce FLUM designation to read as follows:
2
Planning and Zoning Board Memorandum Staff Report, February 26,2007
Amendment to LDRs Pertaining to Workforce Housing Program - 1-95/CSX Railroad Corridor
Commerce: This designation is applied to property which is developed, or is to be developed, in
such a manner as to accommodate a mix of industrial, service, and commercial uses. This may
be done either through development of existing parcels or through a planned concept.
Residential development may also be permitted provided that such development is within a
desiGnated workforce housinG overlay district that allows such use and any residential
development meets the criteria of the City of Delray Beach Workforce Housinq Ordinance.
Areas with this desiGnation, located within a workforce housinG overlay district. may be
developed UP to a maximum of 24 units per acre, provided at least 25% of the units are
workforce housinG units.
Future Land Use Element Policy A-7.2 was also modified to include provisions for the overlay
district.
Future Land Use Element Policy A-7.2 Workforce Housing Overlay Districts shall be identified
on the Future Land Use Map. The maximum density within these districts shall be as follows:
. The MROC (Mixed Residential Office Commercial) zoning district shall have a maximum
density of 40 units per acre except within the Tri-rail Station Overlay where the maximum
density is 50 units per acre.
. The Southwest Neighborhood and Carver Estates Overlay Districts shall have a maximum
density of 24 units per acre.
. The 1-95/CSX RR Corridor Overlay District shall have a maximum of 24 units per acre.
. The SW 10th Street Overlay District shall have a maximum density of 12 units per acre.
. All other Overlay Districts shall have a maximum density of 18 units per acre.
The ultimate goal of the Family/Workforce Housing Program is to encourage the provision of
housing, which is affordable to very low to moderate income households through the use of
incentives. By expanding this program, the proposed text amendments are consistent with and
will further the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
Courtesy Notices:
Courtesy notices were provided to the following homeowner and civic associations:
· Progressive Residents of Delray (PROD)
· President's Council
· Neighborhood Advisory Council
Letters of objection and support, if any, will be provided at the Planning and Zoning Board
meeting.
The purpose of the proposed privately-initiated LDR text amendments is to further enhance the
City's Workforce Housing Program by adding an additional Overlay District to the program. With
a minimum of 25% workforce housing units required within the 1-95/CSX Railroad Corridor
Overlay District, there is a potential for an additional 78 workforce units to be constructed within
the City. The proposed amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives and
Policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

Planning and Zoning Board Memorandum Staff Report, February 26, 2007
Amendment to LDRs Pertaining to Workforce Housing Program - 1-95/CSX Railroad Corridor
Move to recommend to the City Commission approval of privately initiated amendments to the
Land Development Regulations (LDRs), Section 4.4.19, "Mixed Industrial and Commercial
(MIC) District;" Section 4.5.15, "The 1-95/CSX Railroad Corridor Overlay District;" and Article
4.7, "Family Workforce Housing," to provide regulations associated with the creation of a new
Workforce Housing Overlay District, 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.
