Quick Summary / Abstract
Adopt Resolution #09-15 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 $26,435 in school impact fees due for the construction of 5 very low income (four or more bedrooms) single family units on Lots 23, 24, Block 3; Lot 7, Block 9; Lot 7, Block 4; and Lot 6, Block 3 of "Broward Park", according to the Plat thereof as Recorded in Plat Book 25, Page 49 - Broward County, Florida.

The proposed development will consist of 5 very low income (four or more bedrooms) single family 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 5 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 and Low Income - 100 percent.

The Broward County Community Development Division certified the proposed development as 5 very low income (four or more bedrooms) single family units.  Based on the current school impact fee ordinance (Ordinance 2008-11, effective June 2, 2008), the total school impact fee due for the project is approximately $26,435. Based on criteria cited in Section 5-184(b)(4) of the Broward County Land Development Code, the total $26,435 qualifies for school impact fee waiver.  Schools affected in the 2007/08 school year are Martin Luther King Park Elementary, Parkway Middle, and Dillard High Schools.

Habitat for Humanity of Broward, Inc.is registered as a 501 (c)(3) Not for Profit entity, as defined by law.

The School Board Attorney has approved this resolution as to form and legal content.

There is a potential loss of approximately $26,435 in school impact fees.  This item does not require a collaboration form from the Capital Budget Department.
