Agenda Packet
The Islamorada Village of Islands Workforce Affordable Housing Citizens Advisory Council met on May 4, 2026. Key discussions included the introduction of a new planner, approval of previous meeting minutes, and a review of the Islamorada Affordable Housing Fact Sheet. Committee member Scott Goss recommended expanding the fact sheet to include married couples, families, and domestic partnerships, and aligning with county standards for moderate-income levels (currently 160%). The council also reviewed an affordable housing analysis by Habitat for Humanity of the Upper Keys and discussed potential partnership with Monroe County for a similar study, opting not to commission a private study solely for the Village at this time. Village Manager Ron Saunders reported that the Machado property would be discussed at the May 12 Village Council meeting, and the Church property is listed for sale with a zoning change in process, though no formal offers have been received. The primary discussion centered on the high costs of developing affordable housing. The next meeting was scheduled for June 1, 2026. The council also reviewed 2025 and 2026 Affordable Housing Fact Sheets detailing income limits, maximum sales prices, and maximum monthly rents/mortgage payments for various household sizes and income levels (Very Low, Low, Moderate) based on Monroe County median income.

C. Review of the Islamorada Affordable Housing Fact Sheet (Presented by
The Village of Islamorada's Workforce and Affordable Housing Citizens Advisory Committee is reviewing and considering revisions to the Village's Affordable Housing Fact Sheet. This review includes potentially expanding the fact sheet to cover various household types beyond single individuals, such as married couples, families, and domestic partnerships. The committee is also discussing a possible recommendation to adjust the percentage of median monthly household income used to define moderate income, aligning it with county standards which currently set this level at 160%. This item is currently under discussion and will be revisited at future meetings. While no construction is immediately planned, this review process could eventually lead to new housing initiatives. Businesses involved in professional services, particularly those focused on research, data analysis, and policy development related to housing and community planning, may find opportunities to engage as this review progresses. Early involvement in understanding the evolving needs and standards could be beneficial.

D. Review of the attached Upper Keys and Florida City, Homestead, & South
The Village of Islamorada is considering an update to its 2007 workforce housing study. Habitat for Humanity of the Upper Keys has partnered with Monroe County to conduct a new study and provide updated data. The Village is exploring a partnership with the County to be included in their analysis rather than commissioning a separate study. This review is currently under consideration, with staff reaching out to the County to discuss potential collaboration and costs. An updated study would offer insights into current affordable housing needs and help refine future development estimates. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, consultants, and suppliers involved in housing analysis, data collection, and related research to engage with the Village and County as plans develop.

E. Update on Village Owned Properties
The Village of Islamorada is reviewing a potential zoning change for the Church property, located at an unspecified address. This property is currently listed for sale, and while there is interest, no formal offers have been made. The primary focus of discussions has been the significant costs involved in developing affordable housing. This item is currently under review, indicating an early stage in the public process. The zoning change and subsequent development could lead to site preparation, grading, utility work, construction, and landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to the Village or relevant parties early in the process to understand potential needs before formal plans and bids are established.

1. Purpose
This item is a briefing on existing, approved, and potential workforce housing capacity in the Upper Keys. It will cover the effects of Islamorada’s 2025 V-Zone Comprehensive Plan amendment and Monroe County’s acquisition of Southcliff Estates. The topic is currently under review by the Workforce / Affordable Housing Citizens Advisory Committee. This review is early in the public process, meaning potential future development opportunities may arise. The scope of work could involve site preparation, construction, and related trades as housing needs are addressed. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this review as it progresses, as early awareness can provide an advantage in understanding future project needs and timelines.

2. Executive Summary
The Village of Islamorada is planning to expand its workforce and affordable housing options. This expansion will happen through policy changes, public land purchases, private building projects, and nonprofit efforts. Two key projects will add significant housing capacity. First, four parcels in V-zones are now allowed for multi-family, rental-only housing designed for early evacuation. Second, Southcliff Estates will be developed to include 12 existing homes plus rights for 16 more, for a total of 28 units. This item is currently under review by the Workforce / Affordable Housing Citizens Advisory Committee. The projects will likely involve site preparation, utility work, building construction, and final landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should reach out now to learn more about these planned developments, as opportunities for bidding and permits will arise as the review process moves forward.
