CITY OF DANIA BEACH GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT TO: Ivan Pato, City Manager FROM: Laurence Leeds, AICP, Director C Growth Management Department DATE: June 22, 2004 APPLICANT: James Carr, Manager of MKN Investors, LLC (Harbour Isles Townhouse Development) REQUEST: Modification of the Flex Unit Allocation (36 flex units in lieu of 36 affordable housing flex units) LOCATION: West of Ravenswood Road, south of Griffin Road, east of SW 24th Avenue, and North of SW 51st Court PROPERTY SIZE: 35.58 gross acres (33.62 net acres) • In 2002, the former Griffin Lakes Mobile Home Mobile Home Park was rezoned to from T-1 (allowing 355 mobile homes) to R-M (allowing 427 townhouse units). In order to allow the additional 72 units required by the zoning change, the City Commission approved the allocation of 36 reserve units and 36 affordable housing flex units. The project is well under construction. At the time of initial site plan submission, the applicant had requested that 36 units of the 427 unit project be designated as available to parsons who qualify for affordable housing. The applicant has since submitted documentation that of the 200+ contracts submitted, no buyer has qualified with the income requirements of affordable housing. As such, the applicant has requested the permission to modify flex unit allocation from 36 affordable flex units to 36 flex units. Based on the 2000 Census, the median home value in Dania Beach was $114,000. This means that half the homes were valued at less than $114,000. Also in 2000, the median rent in the city was $679 per month and rental units constituted 42% of the occupied housing units. The city figures are less than the county-wide median home value ($128,000) and county-wide median monthly rent ($1,246 per month). County-wide, 31% of occupied • units were rental units. GRIFFIN LAKES CC FLEX MODIFICATION 6-22-04.DOC 1 of 2 • Based on the 2000 Census, the city provides its fair share of affordable housing, and more affordable housing on a percentage basis than many cities in Broward County. As such, staff supports the flex modification to allow 36 flex units. Harbour Villas provides market rate housing for working families and individuals, fulfilling a city as well as county-wide need. Please note that there is no net change in density. The project remains as approved at 427 townhouses. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approval. GRIFFIN LAKES CC FLEX MODIFICATION 6-22-04.DOC 2 of 2 SUPPORT STATEMENT FOR GRIFFIN LAKES REZONING APPLICATION REQUEST TO ELIMINATE THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING DESIGNATION MAY 27, 2004 Despite concerted efforts to inform potential buyers of the availability to purchase an "affordable" townhouse unit, no customer has either taken advantage of the opportunity or qualified for the program. While it was the intent to offer newly constructed affordable units in this area of Dania Beach, the 36 units set aside could easily have been sold as regular units, helping to fund subsequent units and required site improvements. With no sales, that funding source does not exist. Even as all the regular units are sold and occupied, the affordable units could sit empty for some time. Without the 36 sales, this could possibly jeopardize the ability to close out the project with the Broward County Office of Environmental Services (OES). OES is holding back the final 52 meters (and hence the City can not issue those certificate of occupancies). The final pavement and other improvements must be done prior to the final release being approved by OES. All but the 52 meters represents the 88% occupancy level. If the 36 units are added to this deficit, the occupancy level is 79%. Typically, the final lift of asphalt is applied when the project reaches 90-95% occupancy, in order to reduce potential damages between this time and 100% occupancy. Of the 200 + contracts that have been signed, no buyer qualified with the income requirements of affordable housing. Nor have we turned away a buyer due to an inability to qualify for a loan. The market town homes are in demand and all of the buyers to date have qualified for the market units. There are a number of HUD and HFA monies available for single-family purchases. Those resources are not only available, the dollars applied for last year rolled over into this year's cycle due to a lack of interest or use by qualified buyers. Although there is a lack of supply for low and very low income housing, there is not the same demand for the moderate housing such as the 36 units. Since the approval of Griffin Lakes, another project, Sheldon Plat, has been approved by the City of Dania Beach that will offer "affordable" single-family units. The Sheldon project is across Griffin Road from Griffin Lakes, behind the Sheldon Mobile Home Park. It is not known whether this is a contributing factor to the situation at Griffin Lakes, but the Sheldon units are intended for low or very low income buyers. 01-2220/planning/affordable units rezoning/justification
