Resolution 2026 to 25, Town-Owned Property Inventory

Background
The Disposition of Municipal Property for Affordable Housing Law, Florida Statutes 166.0451, requires that by October 1, 2023, and every 3 years thereafter, the Town must prepare an inventory of all real property within our jurisdiction to which the Town holds fee simple title to determine if any are appropriate for use as affordable housing.
If properties are identified and declared as affordable housing opportunities, they may:
- be offered for sale, and the proceeds may be used to purchase land for the development of affordable housing, or
- be sold with a restriction that requires development of the property as permanent affordable housing, or
- be donated to a non-profit housing organization for the construction of permanent affordable housing.
Town staff has reviewed the various Town-owned parcels (Attachments A and B), and we are of the opinion that the Town of Longboat Key does not have any Town-owned vacant parcels that can be identified for use as affordable housing. Therefore, the attached Resolution has been prepared stating that "No municipally-owned property is appropriate for use as affordable housing."
Florida Statutes 166.0451 requires the Commission to “review the inventory list at a public hearing and may revise it at the conclusion of the public hearing. Following the public hearing, the governing body of the municipality shall adopt a resolution that includes an inventory list of such property.”
Staff requests the Town Commission approve Resolution 2026 to 25 for compliance with F.S. 166.0451 following the Public Hearing.
Staff Recommendation
Following public hearing, pass Resolution 2026 to 25.
