A through K of Section 420.9076(4) F.S. The incentive not adopted is item H, which relates to modifying minimum street requirements. Staff analysis shows that the county's current street right- of-way requirements are appropriate to ensure public safety, are not excessive, and should be maintained. Staff's AHAC report analysis indicates that the county has successfully implemented incentives for providing affordable housing within the county. County affordable housing incentives have been in place for many years and have been used by not-for-profit housing organizations and for-profit affordable housing developers to provide affordable housing for county residents. NEW FOR 2022 • Dates and applicable statistics updated. • New Impact Fee Waiver process as directed by BCC. • New Accessory Dwelling Unit Amendments as approved by BCC on June 19, 2022. • Inclusion of affordable housing as public benefit in PD process. At this time, the AHAC needs to review the draft 2022 AHAC report, identify any needed changes, and provide input to staff. Since the AHAC report item has been advertised as a public hearing for today's meeting, the general public will also have an opportunity to provide input regarding the report. CONCLUSION Currently, Indian River County provides all but one of the eleven affordable housing incentives listed in items A through K of Section 420.9076 F.S. In the past, the ten adopted incentives have resulted in non-profit housing organizations and for-profit affordable housing developers providing affordable housing in the county. As structured, the AHAC report identifies the county's existing affordable housing incentives, provides an analysis of those incentives with respect to the incentives listed in items A through K of Section 420.9076 F.S., and includes a recommendation on each incentive. In the report, staff is recommending that the county maintain the ten adopted, existing incentives.
