Fort Lauderdale City Commission and the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) held a joint workshop to review three AHEC recommendations: (1) increase public awareness/education on affordable housing, (2) expand review/use of city‑owned land for affordable housing (including commercial/industrial parcels), and (3) develop a standalone affordable housing master plan. Commissioners and staff also discussed accessory dwelling unit (ADU) policy, a possible impact‑fee waiver program for affordable units, AMI targets and unit-percentage goals, and next steps for staff to draft policies and cost estimates.
