CFAEP, its members, and guests are pleased to welcome our Speaker:
Anna Long, Of Counsel, Dean Mead
as we discuss:
Live Local Act of 2023 and Legislative Updates
The Live Local Act(the “Act”) is a comprehensive, statewide attainable housing strategy, designed to increase the availability of affordable housing opportunities people, who prefer to live within the communities in which they work. The Act provides recurring funding for housing very-low to moderate income households. In addition to a multitude of new programs, incentives, and opportunities, this legislation works to focus Florida’s housing strategy in ways that make housing more attainable while streamlining, to some extent, the local approval processes to allow for the same. For instance, the Act mandates that a local government authorize the development of multifamily rentals on sites that are zoned as mixed-use residential, commercial or industrial if at least 40 percent of the residential units in a proposed multifamily development will, for a period of at least 30 years, be affordable to individuals making up to 120 percent of the local area median income (AMI).
Because there will now be opportunities to develop residential housing projects in areas that otherwise may have developed with more intense uses, site assessments completed on these properties should be completed with a change of use in mind.
Join CFAEP as we come together to network and discuss current environmental issues.
All environmental professionals from across Central Florida are welcome!
