Proposed Ordinance to Implement the LIVE LOCAL ACT - Creating Chapter 65 of the Town Code Entitled "Affordable and Workforce Housing". Town Planner Karen Golonka presented to the Commission. See Exhibit "A". Commissioner Taylor asked what the height density was set as and when was that set. Planner Golonka explained that the heights were set at a maximum of 15-stories, which were in the Town Code. The Commission discussed how the Workforce Housing Rent versus Income impacted the Town. They also asked questions relating to the Palm Beach County median income slide. Commissioner Thomas expressed concern that the Ordinance does not address the urban area of Town. According to the slide, teachers do not qualify for Workforce Housing. She also expressed concern with the State regulation language pertaining to buffering and was not sure how buffering would be accomplished in the Town. Vice-Mayor Glas-Castro felt that it should allow for all income levels and felt that this made no sense. She expressed concerns with the language that states that the Town would consider parking reduction. She also wondered how the monitoring of the affordability would be handled. She asked if they would be monitored or would the Town partner with Palm Beach County and have them monitor for the Town. Planner Golonka stated that a third party such as a housing trust would be hired to assist with monitoring at the applicant’s expense. Attorney Baird stated that this Ordinance would not address all of the concerns discussed. He stated that those concerns would need to be addressed through a Comprehensive Plan policy and the Land Development Regulations. He stated that some of the information would be vetted during the Density Workshop. Commissioner Thomas asked how could they proceed with a Zoning In Progress still in effect. Town Attorney Baird stated that Zoning In Progress would need to be extended by Resolution at a future meeting. Planner Golonka explained the second Ordinance. Vice-Mayor Glas-Castro stated that personally it was not the number of units, but the massing. She suggested that mass be reviewed and other incentives provided. Commissioner Thomas agreed with Vice-Mayor Glas-Castro. She stated that it should not only apply to residential properties, but also to commercial properties.  LIVE LOCAL ACT WORKSHOP WITH THE LAKE PARK TOWN COMMISSION Community Development Dept. LLA: MUST ALLOW QUALIFIED PROJECTS IN DISTRICTS THAT PERMIT COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL , OR MIXED USE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS: BROWN (C-4) AND LT BLUE (CLIC) COMMERCIAL: ORANGE (C-1), RED(C-2), AND PURPLE (C1B) MIXED USE DISTRICTS: DARK BLUE (PADD), LIGHT ORANGE (C-3) AND PURPLE/BLUE STRIPES (FHMUDO)  ALLOWABLE HEleHT3 UNDER LLAttBASED ON l MILE RANeE I Ff― ヽ Ｐ ヽ一 (11li,1よ Ч｀ 、lぃ ヽ ■ 噂 散 輯し 碑 岸 囀鞘砕 12 STOREES 15 STORBES 畿 ■ 【嶺 職 t :こ ,ヽ :け 鷲虫 膊燿 ■■ Ч tl章 ｀ ヽ縦嫌ェド￨ ・ (1(酢 4氏 ■i Ⅲ｀ ヽ 1 ̀11跡 Goverrtting Disttcts PADD and core area of FHMUDO(Ca3,  PALlⅥ BEACH COUNW iNCOME CU:DELINES Palm Beach Countv Median income=$10400′ 10.00 20241NCOME LIMrS ■D僧弱 On z pettons ユpttons 4,9爵 ons 5 persona 6p硝 ons 7弾 rsoTHs B pttOns 患鷲remeけ mW‐ income 30X $凛 駆 80 機 S,750 $翔 囁9う 0 Sa彙 ,150 S36澪 80 亭4牌 60 部 恥3■ 0 SS熟 ″寇 10 MdlttB寺 V● 呼 Ll岬 ‐ こOme S37汗 的 Sヽ 2,850 抑啜m 争33,SSO 0 SS'おい S64■ 拗 鶏 嘲 S,悦 ,備 '備 蜘 m 与鶴 ,SS0 S,',1∞ 韓 Sお S0 Se2.550 燥 ふ働 SiOこ ,2与 0 sila,ioo Moderate inco破 S欝 萬 BC ,〈 SiO脚 Sil乳 帥 Si為 320 Si38「 840 Si4軌 と0 こ 事iSe,360 Si6僻 脚 ■之銹 MedIBn Workforce Housing PЮ gram(WHP〕 2024 Rents and incomes Ettective Juiv i,2024 WHP prices are set annualivtt based on the provisioTls of A,3,c.2 ofthtt unと 戯ed LaFれ d OeVelopment Code rea骨 はQd b韓 low,and the fo‖ owingl Articie st(3,生 。 2024 PBC Median Famiivincomei S104,000(per HuD〕 Ⅷ P 前〕 dio 主BR 2 BR 3BR 4BR とow S62,400‐ 60〜 80,も of MFl 311125‑1,300 Sl,20う ‐1,607 事1,446‐ 1,928 事lr671‐ 2,228 Sl,864… 2,486 $83,200 Modmte 》80,10鵬 of MH 》綽 尋津00, Sl,300・ 1お 7S Si,607‑2,鰤 Si,928Ⅲ 2声 10 鋭1228‐ 名785 S島 486← 島108 Moderate 2 S104.000‐ >100‐ 120鶴 of MFI Si,875‐ 2,250 S2,000… 2,410 争2,410… 2,39を S2.7患 S‐ 3ュ 342 亭3,108… 3,729 Mlcale >ラ ユ24声W‐ >a20‐ 140X of MF: S2.番 0‐ 4625 S2渾 生 0‐ 乳812 協 892‐ 3,374 説 342‐ 乳899 競 729‐ 4β 50 Si43.600  ADDRESSING AMBIGUITIES WITHIN THE LIVE LOCAL ACT PROPOSED TOWN ORDINANCE (new chapter 65) TOWN CONCERNS with LLA ACT RESPONSE: PROPOSED ORDINANCE F.S.
