Juno Beach, FL to Consider Ordinance Affecting Implementation of Live Local Act
At the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board and with the approval of the Town Council, this office has prepared an Ordinance implementing the provisions of Chapter 2023-17, Laws of Florida, as codified in Section 166.04151(7), Florida Statutes, and known as the Live Local Act. The Act was intended to streamline and incentivize affordable housing developments within the State of Florida and preempts certain use, density, and height regulations for qualifying developments that provide for the establishment of affordable multi-family rental housing. Because less than twenty percent of the Town’s land area is designated for commercial or industrial use, all qualifying projects within the Town must be mixed-use residential, containing both residential and non-residential components. The Act requires administrative approval for mixed-use residential developments where at least forty percent (40%) of the residential units are, for a period of at least thirty years, affordable as defined in Section 420.004, Florida Statutes.
