Proposed ordinance's title/reference: Ordinance 2024-75
An Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Osceola County, Florida, relating to Affordable Housing, Amending Chapter 2, Article IV, Division 5 of the Osceola County Code of Ordinances to include a definition of Workforce Housing, and Amending Chapter 17 of the Osceola County Code of Ordinances to include Article III, “Affordable Housing (Live Local Act)”; Providing for Conflict; Providing for Severability; Providing for Codification; Providing for Correction of Scrivener’s Errors; Providing for Termination; and Providing an Effective Date.
The County is of the view that the following exception(s) to the Business Impact Estimate requirement apply that are checked off in a box below apply to the above-referenced proposed ordinance:
- The proposed ordinance is required for compliance with Federal or State law or regulation;
In accordance with the provisions of controlling law, even notwithstanding the fact that, an exemption noted above may apply, the County hereby publishes the following information:
1. Summary of the proposed ordinance (must include statement of the public purpose, such as serving the public health, safety, morals, and welfare):
The proposed ordinance complies with the Florida Legislature adoption of Senate Bill 102, creating section 125.01055(7), Florida Statutes (2023), known as the Live Local Act (the “Act” or “LLA”) which took effect on July 1, 2023; and on May 16, 2024, Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law amendments to the Act (Chapter 2024-188); which requires local governments to authorize multifamily and mixed-use residential as allowable uses in any area zoned for commercial, industrial, or mixed-use if at least 40 percent (40%) of the residential units in a proposed multifamily rental development are, for a period of at least thirty (30) years, affordable as defined in Section 420.0004, Florida Statutes. The County seeks to establish procedures within its Code of Ordinances to implement the Act, establish eligibility requirements in conformity with the Act to clarify its applicability to property within the County, to clarify the applicability of development standards exempt from the terms of the Act, and the County has determined that this Ordinance is in the best interest of the citizens of Osceola County, Florida
2. Estimate of direct economic impact of the proposed ordinance on private, for-profit businesses in the County:
No direct economic impact on private, for-profit businesses.
The ordinance does not impose any additional costs or fees on potential developers.
3. Estimate of direct compliance costs that businesses may reasonably incur:
No direct compliance costs.
The ordinance does not impose any additional costs for compliance on potential developers.
4. Any new charge or fee imposed on businesses by the proposed ordinance:
The ordinance does not impose any additional costs or fees on potential developers.
5. Estimate of the County regulatory costs, including estimated revenues from any new charges or fees to cover such costs:
There are no estimated revenues or costs anticipated. The County will not have to dedicate staff time to public hearing items subject to the Act. The website is likely to cost staff time up front, but should ultimately streamline operations. We already have staff and procedures for the execution of agreements and compliance monitoring.
6. Good faith estimate of the number of businesses likely to be impacted by the proposed ordinance:
No impact to businesses by the proposed ordinance.
The ordinance does not impose any additional costs or fees on potential developers.
