COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Commissioner Michael Gongora 
DATE:May  8, 2019
 



SUBJECT: REFERRAL TO THE LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE - DISCUSSION REGARDING INCENTIVIZING NEW DEVELOPMENT TO INCLUDE UNITS FOR WORKFORCE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITHIN NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT SEEK DEVELOPMENT, HEIGHT, AND/OR ZONING AMENDMENTS FROM THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH.

ANALYSIS

Please place on the May 8 Commission Meeting, a referral to Land Use and Development Committee on incentivizing new development to include units for workforce and affordable housing within new developments that seek development, height and/or zoning amendments from the City of Miami Beach.  There is presently a bill pending in the State of Florida which would ban a requirement to include affordable housing but even if it passes I do not believe it would ban incentivizing inclusion of these units. Please feel free to contact my Aide Diana Fontani Martinez.
