body
BACKGROUND:
On September 10, 2020, Broward County and the City of Coconut Creek entered into an Interlocal Agreement for Preparation, Implementation, and Administration by Broward County of the City’s State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program. Broward County and the City now wish to amend the agreement to provide for the creation of a joint Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (“AHAC”) as permitted under Section 420.9076(2), Florida Statutes.
DISCUSSION:
In accordance with legislation adopted in the 2007 Legislative Session and associated changes to the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) Chapter 67-37, counties and cities receiving State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funds are required to establish an Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC). The AHAC evaluates established policies, procedures, ordinances, land development regulations, the comprehensive plan, and recommends changes to promote affordable housing if necessary. City staff has worked with representatives from the Florida Housing Coalition and Broward County for the creation of a joint AHAC as permitted under Section 420.9076(2), Florida Statutes. Through this amendment, the City of Coconut Creek will fulfill the requirement of Section 420.9076(4)(a), Florida Statutes.
