Can the County Commissioners approve the incentives and adopt the amendment to the LHAP at the same time or do they have to approve the incentives before adoption into the LHAP?
There is nothing in the statute or rule that requires the incentives to be adopted prior to amending your LHAP. However, the incentives that will be adopted may require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Ordinance or policy change that will need to be approved by your Board separately. FS 420.9076 states: (6) Within 90 days after the date of receipt of the local housing incentive strategies recommendations from the advisory committee, the governing body of the appointing local government shall adopt an amendment to its local housing assistance plan to incorporate the local housing incentive strategies it will implement within its jurisdiction.
