CONCLUSION <br />Since the adoption of the County's Comprehensive Plan Housing Element in 1990, the <br />adoption of the County's Affordable Housing Incentive Plan in 1994, and then the adoption <br />of the County's EAR -based amendments in 2010, the county has established and <br />maintained a number of affordable housing incentives. As such, Indian River County <br />currently provides ten of the eleven affordable housing incentives listed in items A through <br />K of Section 420.9076(4) F.S. For reasons explained in the analysis, the item H incentive <br />relating to modification of street requirements has not been adopted and is not <br />recommended for 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 has identified an opportunity <br />for revision to several of the existing incentive strategies. Those proposed revisions <br />include ordinance revisions to allow very small lot subdivisions (in addition to the current <br />allowance for small lot subdivisions), increased accessory dwelling unit size, impact fee <br />exemptions for affordable housing, and greater affordable housing development density. <br />County Staff have been able to implement increased accessory dwelling unit size over the <br />last year and are currently in the process of impleme additional impact fee waiver <br />exemptions. Other initiatives will each need to be "ed in greater detail, drafted in <br />ordinance format, and presented to the BCC for fina - w and consideration. <br />The table on the next page provides1ummaiy4MMcomn=Dations for items A through <br />K of Section 420.90 <br />
