How it Works
1) Developers in T6 zones wishing to increase building capacity, by adding bonus stories, will make contributions to this fund or provide a public benefit. Any penalties incurred by developers for any projects will also be contributed to this fund.

2) The City Commission, upon the City Manager’s recommendation, shall annually decide the allocation of funds into each correct fund: Affordable Housing Trust Fund, Public Parks and Open Space Fund, etc.
