Director Keating advised that the subject came up late at the <br />P & Z meeting, probably around 10 PM, after another controversial <br />subject. He understood that there were some people in attendance <br />to speak on this matter, but they had left the meeting before it <br />was discussed. <br />Commissioner Macht wanted to. have as part of staff's <br />presentation, the possibility of any affordable housing, because <br />that materially changed his attitude toward the project. <br />Chairman Eggert understood, but pointed out that it was legal <br />under our present ordinances and perhaps the Board would want to <br />consider changing them in the future. <br />While he concurred the Comprehensive Plan was not perfect, <br />Commissioner Tippin felt our Plan was as good as any in the state <br />of Florida. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Adams, to adopt the ordinance in <br />accordance with staff's recommendation. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Ginn commented that she <br />thought the Comprehensive Plan is good but that there are nuances <br />in it that show up which can increase densities because of <br />affordable housing bonuses, which really are not in our <br />Comprehensive Plan. Director Keating advised, however, that the <br />bonuses are in the Plan. <br />Chairman Eggert pointed out that the bonuses are required by <br />the State, and Director Keating clarified that it is part of our <br />State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program. He added <br />that staff had to prepare a housing incentive plan showing how the <br />County was trying to promote and accommodate affordable housing and <br />this was one of the ways it had been accomplished. <br />Commissioner Ginn cited the Indian River Apartments on Indian <br />River Boulevard as being more dense than 10 units per acre for <br />which it is zoned. She estimated it was more like 12 units per <br />acre and Director Keating agreed. She also felt the landscaping <br />was inadequate and it was much too crowded. <br />Commissioner Adams asked how Lake -in -the -Woods got a higher <br />density, and Director Keating explained how the calculations were <br />made and how the credits were figured based on the ACLF. <br />Commissioner Macht commented there was a wide gulf of usage of <br />the properties that were not even on the same plane. <br />31 Bm 100 PAGE 31d <br />January 21, 1997 <br />
