The Monroe County Commission will hold a special meeting about Goal 109. It includes proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code. Workforce housing is for people who derive at least 70 percent of their income from work done in Monroe County, and who meet maximum income criteria set by the County Code. Goal 109 increases the existing workforce housing density by 50 percent for housing projects for people in median-, low- and very low-income categories and in three zoning categories. The Monroe County Planning Commission recommended approval of Goal 109 with some revisions at its October meeting. If the BOCC approves a version of the proposed amendments, they would be sent to the State Department of Economic Opportunity. The tentative BOCC adoption date would be based on this required rendering period and be held at another public, monthly Commission meeting.
