Status:
Adopt Resolution #07-29, which states that the School Board does not oppose action by the Broward County Board of Commissioners under provisions of the Broward County Land Development Code, waiving approximately $548 school impact fee due for the construction of 2 (1-bedroom) very low income, garden apartment affordable housing units on Lot 2, "Marbar Estates" according to the plat thereof, Plat Book 43, Page 12, located North of Wilson Street between North 16th Court and North 17th Avenue, in the City of Hollywood, and proposed for development by Broward Housing Solutions.
The proposed development will consist of 2 (1-bedroom) very low income garden apartment units, which will provide affordable housing for very low income individuals as defined in Division 6 of the Broward County Land Development Code Definitions. Therefore, as proposed, the two very low income single-family units are eligible for consideration of a school impact fee waiver as cited under Section 5-184(b)(4) of the Broward County Land Development Code. Under this Section, a school impact fee waiver can be granted based on percentages in the following manner: Very Low Income - 100 percent, Low Income - 75 percent and Moderate Income - 50 percent.
The Broward County Community Development Division certified the proposed development as 2 affordable garden apartment (1-bedroom) units. Based on the current school impact fee ordinance (Ordinance 97-40, effective October 1, 2005), the total school impact fee due for the project is approximately $548. Based on criteria cited in Section 5-184(b)(4) of the Broward County Land Development Code, the total $548 qualifies for school impact fee waiver. Schools affected in the 2006-07 school year are Dania Elementary, Olsen Middle and South Broward High Schools.
Broward Housing Solutions is registered as a 501(C)(3) Not for Profit entity, as defined by law.
There is a potential loss of approximately $548 in school impact fees.
