§ 2.06.02. Purpose and Intent

A.

Section 2.06.00 is intended to implement and be consistent with the GMP, § 163.3161 et seq. F.S, Rule 9J-5, F.A.C., and the Stipulated Settlement Agreement in DOAH Case No. 89-1299 GM, by providing for moderate-, low-, and very-low-income housing through the use of density bonuses which allow an increase in the number of residential dwelling units per acre allowed on property proposed for development, thereby decreasing the per unit cost of land and development.

B.

This objective is accomplished by implementing an AHDB program which consists of an AHDB rating system and an AHDB monitoring program. The purpose of the AHDB rating system is to provide increased residential densities to developers who guarantee that a portion of their housing development will be affordable by households of gap-, moderate-, low-, or very-low-income, thus expanding housing opportunities for gap-, moderate-, low-, and very-low-income households throughout the county. The purpose of the AHDB monitoring program is to provide assurance that the program is properly implemented, monitored, and enforced, and that useful information on affordable housing may be collected.
