Body
Pursuant to Section 33-193.7 (C) of the Miami-Dade County Code, Miami-Dade has adopted a requirement that municipalities have an expedited process to decide applications for workforce housing for qualifying residential developments that are owned, financed, or operated by the County, municipality, or other public (governmental) entity. The County’s requirement for an expedited process provides that municipalities are deemed to have complied with this requirement if they use a process similar to the governmental facilities process that the County uses pursuant to Section 33-303, Code of Miami-Dade County.
The City has an expedited process for its own governmental facilities patterned after the County’s process and intends to comply with this expedited workforce application process by modifying its government facility procedures to include certain workforce housing facilities.
