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.
