Summary

Staff reported a five‑year inventory of 677 affordable units across completed, under construction and predevelopment projects, detailing project names, unit counts and affordability bands from 30% to 120% of area median income (AMI). Commissioners discussed using CRA land acquisition to advance priorities.

City staff provided the CRA and commission with an overview of affordable housing activity over the past five years, saying the inventory totals 677 affordable units spanning rental apartments to single‑family homes and a range of affordability targets.

The presenter listed completed projects and those in construction or predevelopment. Completed or occupied projects cited included Ocean Breeze East (123 rental units; 10% at 30% AMI and remaining units at 60% AMI) and Heart of Boynton (124 rental units; 10% at 30% AMI and 90% at 70% AMI). The Bridal Block project — a partnership between Habitat for Humanity and the Boynton Beach Faith‑Based CDC — delivered 16 for‑sale single family homes (Habitat units at 60% AMI; CDC units priced at moderate levels up to 100–120% AMI).

Under construction and predevelopment projects discussed included a Cottage District of 41 for‑sale single‑family homes (Pulte Homes; mix of 60–100% AMI), The Dunes (rental apartments and townhomes, developer affiliated), Seacrest Sound (approx. 89 rental units, owner identified as Seacrest Apartments Property Owner LLC) and The Pierce (300 units with 150 affordable units phased down to 30 units retained in perpetuity).

Staff said the affordability mix ranges across projects from units set at roughly 30% of Palm Beach County AMI up to 120% AMI, depending on product type and financing structure. Amanda Radagon and city staff were available to answer technical questions.

Commissioners used the presentation to underscore CRA priorities — notably continued land acquisition and moving existing city‑owned properties to productive use — and to connect housing planning with upcoming budget and bond discussions.

No vote was taken on housing policy at the meeting; staff filed the inventory report and opened the floor for questions and related budget discussion.
