Director flags need for planning-board appointment to Affordable Housing Action Committee
Summary
Development Services Director Brandon Chad told the Planning and Zoning Board that one seat on the statutorily required Affordable Housing Action Committee must be filled by a Planning and Zoning Board member; the committee met three times last year and appointments are expected in a few months.
At the close of its March 19 meeting the Boca Raton Planning and Zoning Board was told it must fill a seat on the city’s Affordable Housing Action Committee, a statutorily required body that produces an annual report.
Development Services Director Brandon Chad said one seat on the committee is required by ordinance to be filled by a member of the Planning and Zoning Board. He noted that Ms. Ritchie filled that seat last year and that the board will need to identify a replacement or a volunteer. "We'll probably be looking at appointments in a couple of months," Chad said, adding that last year the committee met three times in the fall with meetings typically lasting one to two hours.
Board members asked about the committee's meeting frequency and time commitment. Chad described the duty as requiring some background study but not a large time commitment; he characterized the work as modest in duration and effort. The board did not take further action at the March 19 meeting; staff indicated appointments will be scheduled at a future meeting.
