It's generally depicted on the plan here to be constructed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the development agreement. The project proposes three different floor plans, each offering three different exterior elevations. So a total of nine different elevations among these lots to achieve architectural diversity and a broader range of choices for the residents.

And then just a couple of other, uh, deal points there. They actually, again, as Jen said earlier, they split the lots, um, the 15, um, by two. And so there was a sales, uh, price per split. So, so

Okay. All right.

They have their, they have a mortgage program. The city's incentives would be, first of all, it's, it's the HUD sales price. It's the, uh, income qualifications, but it's also, you're still eligible, eligible for the down payment assistance and the first time home buyers.
Okay. With the current economic climate, if my math is math and

have a question does the reasonable accommodation can it be applied to subdivisions that have HOA's
so the with regard to to certified recovery residences in particular the Florida statute that requires the city to adopt an ordinance that allows for a process for the reasonable accommodations, so that they can locate essentially in single-family neighborhoods, does specifically provide that a reasonable accommodation from the City doesn't excuse them from complying with any HOA regulations whether or not the HOA may need to make accommodations as well I mean the statute ‸ doesn't require that I'm not sure you know under the Fair Housing Act

Is that correct? so And if there's existing homes there in a multifamily area or or apartments can they be transitioned to accommodate this ordinance I mean can they create units available as this ordinance is proposing?
So if you're if you're referring to, say, a single-family home that happened to be located in

there could be potentially a request for an accommodation, to change those rules based on the, you know, based on the, the reasonable accommodation process that's established. So, that is something that we would need to, the city would essentially consider in the process. They'd

hope new hope ‸ yeah that has that has no contingency on this particular ordinance. That particular organization is working with individuals that are... Yes, returning citizens. So that's completely different than this oh
it
is yeah okay
one thing I guess I should clarify for the board is the the the process for a reasonable accommodation is only open to those with disabilities. Or an organization that's serving exclusively those with disabilities and that is you know these requirements come out of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Fair Housing Act so this is not going to be available for just any organization that wants to house a number of unrelated people, let's say, in a single-family neighborhood. It is exclusively for use for those with disabilities
okay
and
the last question that I have is there any current projects that are in the process of creating what this ordinance is going to offer? Or do

because these types of homes were popping up quite a lot in especially in South Florida and there were a lot of concerns about you know everything from human trafficking to fraud and things that were going on in these homes.

bill that was just passed specifically says that we ‸ the process that we formally establish is required to have as minimal public hearings as possible and I think the reason for that too is because especially for people if it's an individual that and this is not a certified recovery residence but in individuals that are disabled may not want to you know come before a public board and discuss their disability.
