A~'FORDABL~ HOUSING INCENTIV~ PLaN
Pursuant to Section 420.9076, Florida Statutes, the City of
Delray Beach Affordable Housing Advisory Committee held meetings
to review existing policies, procedures, ordinances, land
development regulations and comprehensive plan tn order to make
specific recommendations aimed at encouraging and facilitating
affordable housing while also protecting property values. The
following incentives resulted from of this review.
1. The affordable housing definition in the appointing
resolution.
"Affordable Housing" shall mean the development or
redevelopment of vacant parcels within the City of Delray
which can be purchased and monthly mortgage payments,
Including principal, Interest, taxes and insurance
(PITI), does not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the median
annual adjusted gross income for households in Palm Beach
County as defined by the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development.
The development and redevelopment 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.
2. The expedited process of per. its for affordable housing
projects.
The City has in place "One Stop Shop Permitting" providing
for a coordinated review and approval of all developmental
applications submitted through the Development Services
.Group. Emphasis is placed on providing efficient, timely
review and approval of all application types from one point
of contact by the customer. The system features a fully
automated application tracking software package that
provides the opportunity to readily identify delays in
review time from various departments within the development
function.
The "One Stop Shop Permitting" Incorporates an expedited
review and approval process of building permit applications
submitted under a subdivision development, using one set of
architectural plans for various lots. This process reduces
the average number of days for review from 15 days to 5
days. A second part of our program Incorporates same day
inspections on construction projects. The combination of
expedited review and approvals and same day inspections
minimizes delays tn construction activity and costs
associated with such delays. The expedited review process
shall be applied to the City's Affordable inflll housing
program in cases where one set of architectural plans are
used for various inftll lots throughout the target area.
The estimated cost reduction will average from $250-$500.
3. ?he modification of impact-fee requirementl, including
reduction or waiver of fees and alternative methodl of
fee payment. Land Development Regulations, Section 2.4.3(k)
The current impact and other fees associated with the
development of a typical affordable single family unit,
valued at $50,000 with between 800 and 1300 square feet
total approximately $5730. These fees include:
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH-IMPOSED IMPACT FEES
Deposit $ 75.00
Water System Connection Fee $ 788.00
Meter Installation (1") $ 525.00
Sewer System Connection $1084.00
Parks & Recreation impact fee $ 500.00
Total City Impact Fees $2,972.00
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH BUILDING PERMIT FEES
Building Permit $ 660.00
Paving Permit fee $ 63.50
Irrigation permit fee $ 63.50
Total Permit Fees $ 787.00
PALM BEACH COUNTY-IMPOSED IMPACT FEES
Road Impact Fee $1,650.00
Parks Impact Fee 123.91
Law Enforcement 5.30
Public Bldgs. 51.76
Schools 140.25
Total County Impact Feel $1,971.22
There is currently no provision for waiving impact fees
through either the City or the County. Therefore funding
will be made available through SHIP and/or other dollars for
the payment of these fees when it can be determined that the
result of this subsidy will be a more affordable unit for
the homebuyer.
Current policy (Commission action 1/21/92) provides
for a 70% reduction in building permit fees (excluding
impact fees and water connection fees) for non-profit
(501(C) (3)) agencies. This represents a $550 reduction to
the overall fees imposed on new construction. This policy
also provides for a 100% waiver of all fees assessed under
Section 2.4.3(K)(1) of the Land Development Regulations
(Development Applications, i.e. Site Plan Review, Plats,
etc.).
The Palm Beach County Board of County commission will be
formally petitioned for an exemption from the requirements
of impact fees for the entire CDBG target area. This
exemption would provide a $2000 reduction in the cost of
constructing one single family unit.
4. Allowance of Increased Density Levels. (Comprehensive Plan,
Housing Element, Policy C-3.1)
The Housing Element provides for increases to density when
it can be demonstrated that such increases will lead to an
affordable unit, provided that other policies of the
Comprehensive Plan are maintained.
5. Reservation of Infrastructure Capacity for housing for
very low and low income persons. (Comprehensive Plan,
Housing Element, PolicyA-2.3)
Infrastructure facilities currently exist throughout the
target area. However, where there is visible signs of
deterioration, Comprehensive Plan policy provides for
priorittzatton in scheduling necessary improvements.
6. Transfer of Development Rights as a financing mechanism
for housing for very low-income and low-income persons.
(Land Development Regulations, Section 4.6.20)
Current policy provides for TDRs when the use of the
property advances the goals, objectives, and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. Developers may be offered development
rights within areas designated on the Land Use Map as
"Redevelopment Areas" and within geographic areas where
height increases are allowed pursuant to LDRs Section 4.3.4
(J)(4) in exchange for development rights of the "regulated"
property. Thus TDR's may be used as a mechanism to achieve
affordable housing.
7. Reduction of parking and set back requirements. (Land
Development Regulations, Section 4.6.9(C)
Current regulations require 2 parking spaces per dwelling
unit in Single Family zoning districts. As an incentive to
affordable housing, one of the required parking spaces may
be located within the side set back within one foot of the
property line, provided the impervious area used for parking
is sloped to drain on the lot being developed. This
incentive will provide a cost reduction of approximately
$500 per unit.
3
8. The allowance of zero-lot-line configurations.
(Comprehensive Plan, Housing Element, B-2.3(f))
Current policy provides for a mix of housing types,
including zero lot-line, single family conventional, and
multiple family housing.
9. Modifications to street and sidewalk requirements.
Due to concerns for safety and aesthetics there shall be no
modifications to current regulations governing sidewalks and
streets. In order to address affordabtltty, the City
currently considers on a case by case basis provisions for
funding street and sidewalk requirements.
10. Establish a process by which impact of proposed new
policies, procedures, ordinances, and regulations are
considered prior to approval.
It shall be the long-term function of the Affordable Housing
Advisory Committee along with appropriate staff to serve tn
this capacity.
11. Preparation of a printed inventory of locally owned
public lands suitable for affordable housing.
An inventory of locally owned public lands suitable for
affordable housing shall be prepared on or before July 1994.
12. Other=
A. Establish list of properties scheduled for demolition.
The City shall make available to the public a list of
properties scheduled for demolition at least 30 days
prior to demolition. This listing should provide
owners' names and all lien-holders. A cost reduction
of approximately $3000 per unit can be realized tn
impact and water connection fees.
B. Solicitation of Assistance to Effect Increases in
Appraisals through the Florida Energy Center.
The City shall request the Florida Energy Center to
take on as a project, tests of energy savings additions
to units which save homeowner dollars. This
effort Is for the purpose of the Florida Energy Center
to Influence the appraisal Industry into recognizing
these measures as added property value.
4
C. Reduction of Landscape Requirements (LDRs Section
4.6.16(H)
Current requirements at Section 4.6.16(H) for Single
Family housing is that 20% of all pervious lot area be
planted in shrubs and ground cover and the remaining
%80 of the area be planted in turf.
In support of projects participating the City's
Affordable Housing Programs the requirements of the
landscape code are to be reduced to allow for only 10%
of the pervious single family lot area be planted in
shrubs and ground cover and that the requirements be
installed in front and sidestreet setbacks. It is
estimated that $1200 would be reduced from the cost of
producing one unit.
D. Waiver of Requirements of Final Engineering Plans
Current policy at Section 2.4.3(F) requires that
Engineering Plans be prepared and submitted as
specified by the various regulating agencies, i.e.
utility providers, City Engineer, South Florida Water
Management District and HRS. The requirements for
calculating water drainage and other off-site
improvements for inflll lots, particularly where
improvements are in place, shall be waived. A cost
reduction of $1000 is estimated.
