A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
AVENTURA, FLORIDA, DECLARING EXEMPTION FROM ARTICLE
XIIA OF CHAPTER 33, WORKFORCE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAM OF THE MIAMI-DADE COUNTY CODE; AND PROVIDING
FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, on December 20th, 2016, the Miami-Dade County Board of
Commissioners ("the County") enacted Ordinance No. 16-138, codified in Chapter 33 of
the Miami-Dade County Code, ("the Ordinance") to amend its regulations on workforce
housing in both incorporated and unincorporated areas of the County; and
WHEREAS, the Ordinance requires that each municipality adopt regulations to
ensure the accommodation of workforce housing based on the most recent census; and
WHEREAS, while some municipalities may be exempt due to their low
population density, section 33-193.7(A)(2)a requires nonexempt municipalities to adopt
a resolution making legislative findings that the need for workforce housing within its
territorial jurisdiction is being adequately addressed, or that workforce housing would
be impractical to provide due to issues such as, but not limited to, the lack of
availability of or the high value of vacant land or redevelopment sites; and
WHEREAS, the City of Aventura ("the City") has only one ("1") vacant parcel in
its jurisdiction without a pending site plan application, and the value of the land is three
million nine hundred and twenty thousand dollars ($3,920,000) per acre as assessed by
the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser; and
WHEREAS, therefore, the City Commission finds that it would be impractical for
the City to address workforce housing due to the high value of the remaining land within
its territorial jurisdiction.
