CONCLUSION <br />Since adoption of the County's Comprehensive Plan Housing Element in 1990, adoption <br />of the County's Affordable Housing Incentive Plan in 1994, . and then adoption of the <br />County's EAR based amendments in 2010, the county has established and maintained a <br />number of affordable housing incentives. As such, Indian River County currently provides <br />ten of the eleven affordable housing incentives listed in items A through K of Section <br />420.9076(4) F.S. For reasons explained in the analysis, the .item H incentive relating to <br />modification of street requirements has. not been adopted and is not recommended for <br />adoption. <br />In the past, the county's ten adopted affordable housing incentives have worked well in <br />encouraging non-profit housing organizations and for-profit affordable housing developers <br />to provide affordable housing. Recent analysis by the AHAC, however, has identified <br />opportunity for revision to several of the existing incentive strategies. Those proposed <br />revisions include ordinance revisions: to allow very small lot. subdivisions (in addition to <br />the current allowance for small lot subdivisions), increased accessory dwelling unit size, <br />and greater affordable housing development density. To be implemented, each will need <br />to be reviewed in greater detail, drafted in ordinance format, and presented to the BCC for <br />final review and consideration. <br />The table on the next page provides a summary of recommendations for items A through <br />K of Section 420.9076, F.S. <br />166 <br />
