Donna Keys pointed out that we already have some protection in the LDRs for keeping affordable housing affordable. Director Boling explained further on the affordable housing point that Ms. Keys brought up that the federal government is tracking these units as well as the County. (CLERK’S NOTE: Commissioner Adams left the meeting 11:59 a.m. during the previous discussion to serve on the Canvassing Board for the General Election.) 13.A.3. CHAIRMAN CAROLINE D. GINN – INTERIM GROWTH CONTROL MEASURES Chairman Ginn advised that she put this back on the agenda because new development and applications for rezoning remain very vigorous. She referred to page 373 advising that these were the “pipeline” numbers. Planning Division Director Stan Boling advised that some work was done at the end of June and the total was 15,524 units. Since June 22, staff has had 33 residential project pre-application conferences that are not reflected in those numbers. Chairman Ginn wondered if the Board should do something to slow things down a bit. She learned from tradesmen in the hallway by the Building Department that they were pleased with that department and that it was doing a fine job. She related the long waiting period (because of hurricane damages) that homeowners are having to get their homes repaired by tradesmen. Getting back to development, she reminded the Commissioners that the Board had taken no action on the proposed interim growth control measures listed on pages 369 and 370 but had referred them to the Growth Task Force. The GTF, however, did not consider them. She reviewed and advocated the items on the list except for numbers 5 and 6 (page 369). She wanted to see development slow down. She also reviewed the Exemptions 1-6 (page 370). She thought these should be enacted to be effective through the end of February and review the situation at that time November 2, 2004 38
