Description:
The Live Local Act introduced a land use mandate permitting affordable housing developments meeting certain conditions on land zoned for commercial, industrial, and mixed use. The Act raised questions on the location of projects taking advantage of this mandate – would the override of local land use controls allowing these developments in non-residential areas promote projects in places less suitable for homes? Or would other parameters and forces guiding development still steer projects to suitable areas? The Florida Housing Coalition undertook a locational scoring analysis to better understand these questions now that this mandate is two years old.
This webinar will explore FHC’s process and takeaways when scoring 92 proposed Live Local sites for housing suitability. The Coalition analyzed proximity of these projects to a set of amenities (parks, schools, grocery stores, and more) and distance from land uses typically requiring buffers from residential development (industrial uses and other land uses that might create negative impacts on nearby housing). Tune in to hear us release this information as we continue to analyze the effectiveness of the Live Local Act.
