Status:
Adopt Resolution No. 07-97 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 $10,625 in school impact fees due for the construction of ten 1-bedroom and five 2-bedroom, very low income, affordable garden apartment housing units, on a portion of Parcel 'A', "Highland Gardens Condominium" according to the Plat thereof as recorded in Plat Book 82, Page 5 of the Public Records of Broward County, Florida and generally located North of Northeast 48th Street between Interstate 95 and North Dixie Highway in the City of Deerfield Beach; and proposed for development by Highland Gardens Development Ltd./ Broward County Housing Authority.
The proposed development will consist of one hundred garden apartment units, of which 10 (1-bedroom) and 5 (2-bedroom) are 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 15 very low income garden apartment 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 proposed development includes 15 garden apartment (ten 1-bedroom and five 2-bedroom) units that are certified by the Broward County Community Development Division as very low income affordable units. Based on the current school impact fee ordinance (Ordinance 97-40, effective October 1, 2006), the total school impact fee due for the project is approximately $10,625. Based on criteria cited in Section 5-184(b)(4) of the Broward County Land Development Code, the total $10,625 qualifies for school impact fee waiver. Schools affected in the 2006-07 school year are Park Ridge Elementary, Deerfield Beach Middle and Deerfield Beach High Schools.
The Broward County Housing Authority, is a Not For Profit Corporation. However, it is not a 501(C)(3) as defined by law.
There is a potential loss of approximately $10,625 in School Impact Fees. This item does not require a collaboration form from the Capital Budget Department.
