GROWTH MANAGEMENT – SHIP TRIENNIAL REPORT Mr. Elliot Kampert, Growth Management Director, requested the Board accept the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Triennial Report. The two-part recommendation as cited in the agenda request is to (1) ask the Board to review the Triennial Report and authorize staff to forward same to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation after acceptance by the City of Fort Walton Beach and (2) authorize staff to develop and bring back to the Board a policy whereby proposed policies, ordinances, regulations and other actions that could potentially affect the affordability of housing be reviewed prior to adoption. Mr. Parisot questioned the Incentives and Recommendations identified as “b,” “d,” and “i.” “b” – Modification of impact-fee requirements, including reduction or waiver of fees and alternative methods of fee April 16, 2013 -8- Minute Book 69, Page Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners payment for affordable housing. Recommendation: The BCC should research the feasibility of establishing a Board- controlled fund which could be used to offset water and sewer tap fees for affordable housing projects, and should consider working with the City of Fort Walton Beach to determine how its program works. “d” – Reservation of infrastructure capacity for housing for very low income persons, low income persons, and moderate income persons. Recommendation: The BCC should research the legal consideration associated with reserving infrastructure capacity and, if there are no legal impediments, should consider establishing reservations of capacity for infrastructure for which level-of-service standards have been adopted. “i” – Establish a process by which a local government considers (before adoption) policies, procedures, ordinances, regulations or plan provisions that increase the cost of housing. Recommendation: The BCC should direct staff to develop a formal process to implement this incentive. The AHAC could serve as an appropriate sounding board for any proposed regulations or procedural changes that could affect the affordability of housing. Mr. Parisot made motion, seconded by Mr. Harris, to approve the report and to implement studies associated with Items “b,” “d,” and “i.” Upon inquiry by Mr. Boyles, Mr. Parisot stated the Water & Sewer Department should come back with comments on the impact of Items “b” and “d.” After a brief discussion, Mr. Parisot clarified his motion is to authorize staff to study “b” and “d.” Mr. Boyles wanted it clear that the Board is not adopting any capacity reservation fee. Mr. Kampert said action is requested on item “i.” 5 yeas.
