HOUSING ELEMENT
CHAPTER III
HOUSING ELEMENT
A. INTRODUCTION
One of society's most basic needs is shelter. The quality of life in a community is affected by the
ability of the community to preserve the existing housing stock, and to accommodate future housing
needs. It is important to consider where new residential areas are located, for this decision will drive
the location of public facilities (roads, utilities, parks and schools).
1. Purpose of the Element
The purpose of this Housing Element is to assess the housing conditions of the City of
Edgewater, to determine what needs to be done to offer adequate housing to its residents
and to establish steps for achieving the desired goal.
This study provides a detailed inventory and analysis of the existing housing stock; an in-
depth analysis of the existing housing conditions, the delivery of housing, and the future
needs of the community, and sets implementation policies designed to provide for the
protection of established neighborhoods and the efficient delivery of housing to meet
projected needs. This element is also intended to provide City officials and the general
public with the information necessary to guide housing growth in the direction that best
addresses the desires of not only Edgewater's existing and anticipated residents, but those
with special housing needs as well.
2. Growth Trends
The City has demonstrated a consistent record of significant growth since 1960. Almost
1,300 residents were added between the 1960 and 1970 census counts, reflecting a 63
percent increase. The City grew by 871 residents between 1970-1975, a 26 percent rise. By
1980, there were 6,726 residents in Edgewater. The net change between 1975 and 1980 was
2,507 or an impressive sixty (60) percent. By 1980, the community had 2.6 percent of
Volusia County's resident population, compared to 1.64 percent in 1960 and 1.98 percent in
1970. Edgewater's rate of growth in percentage terms was generally two to three times the
rate of growth for V olusia County during the 1970's. Of course, the City's base population
is much lower than that of the County; nevertheless, Edgewater's growth since 1960 has
been significant.
The rate of growth for Edgewater increased rapidly during the 1980's. Edgewater increased its
resident population to 9,996 in 1985 for a net increase of 3,270, or 48 percent over 1980.
Edgewater grew impressively, especially between 1985 and 1986, by adding over 1,000 year-
round residents. The City's share of the V olusia County population increased from 2.6 percent
in 1980 to 3.26 percent in 1985. Between 1980 and 1990, the City had increased by an
impressive 128 percent with over 15,337 residents. The City had steadily increased its share of
the County's population since 1960. By 1990, the City had grown to capture over 4.1 percent
of V olusia County's total population.
III-l
CITY OF EDGEWATER
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
Between 1990 and 2000, the population increased but only by twenty-three (23) percent;
bringing the total population count to 18,865 residents. TIlls indicates that the population is
beginning to stabilize. However, Edgewater's share of the County's population has
continued to increase to an estimated 4.4 percent by 2000.
The total change since 1960 is estimated to be an additional 16,814 individuals or an
astounding 819.8% increase during the forty year period (1960-2000). Several growth factors
have influenced the population increase that has occurred in the City since the 1960's.
The 1990 US Census indicated that there were 15,337 residents in the City of Edgewater.
The City ~stimates that the 2000 population was 18,865. Housing construction activity
started to increase in the fifties and reached a boom during the seventies and eighties.
Construction has remained steady in the last ten years, averaging 150 units per year. Due to
the fact that the housing stock is relatively new, a . generally low incidence of
deteriorated/ substandard housing conditions exists within the City. These characteristics
will be addressed in detail in the next section.
B. INVENTORY
This section deals with the characteristics and conditions of the existing housing stock in the City,
the availability of subsidized housing developments, the protection of significant housing, and
housing construction activity. The primary source of statistical information was the 1990 Census of
Population and Housing. Information provided by the City's Building Department regarding
building permits and demolition per;mits issued since April 1, 1990 (the date that the last U.S. Census
was taken) has been used to update certain data. The Bureau of Economic and Business Research
.(BEBR) and the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing have also provided relevant information
to aid in the updating process.
1. Housing Characteristics
The information contained in this section was obtained from the following sources: 1990
United States Census, and the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing. The Shimberg
Center provides the option to insert locally defined data in four areas: population
projections, vacancy rate used in housing demand and need projections, 1990-1995 permit
data, and affordability tables (sale price range). The City of Edgewater has prepared detailed
population projections based on local trends, and has detailed building permit information
for 1990 to 1995. Therefore, the City has elected to adjust the population projections and
the 1990-1995 permit data provided by the Shimberg Center.
a. Dwelling Units by Type
As shown in Table III- 1, there were 6,888 total housing units in Edgewater in 1990.
Of those, almost seventy-five (75) percent were single-family detached homes,
slighrly more than six (6) percent were attached single family homes, six (6) percent
duplex, four (4) percent multi-family dwellings, and nine (9) percent were mobile
homes. The distribution of dwelling units by type in the county was very similar,
except for single-family detached and multi-family dwellings. While the City's single
family dwellings accounted for seventy-five (75) percent and multi-family dwellings
III-2
CITY OF EDGEWATER
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
accounted for only four (4) percent of the total number of units, the County had
sixty-one (61) and twenty (20) percent, respectively. These figures include both
permanent and seasonal units.
The Census data for 1990 shows some housing units in an "other" category. The
Shimberg Center data combines some of the Census categories so that single family
includes one unit attached and detached plus "other", and multi-family includes two
units or more. Based on building permit information provided by the Building
Department and the Shimberg Center, the distribution of housing units by type in
1995 shows a slight increase of single-family and a slight decrease in the Mobile
Home category in the City from 1990 to 1995. Table III- 1 also shows 2000 housing
data for the City.
b. Dwelling Units by Tenure
According to the 1990 Census, approximately eighty-eight (88) percent of the
housing units in Edgewater are occupied (see Table III- 2). Of the City's 6,043
permanent occupied housing units, 4,742 or seventy-eight (78) percent were owner-
occupied; and 1,301 units, or twenty-two (22) percent were renter-occupied. By
comparison, seventy-two (!2) percent of all occupied housing units in the County
were owner-occupied, while the figure was only sixty-seven (67) percent statewide.
At the time of the 1990 U.S. Census, about twelve (12) percent of the City's entire
housing stock were found to be vacant, while seven (!) percent of the permanent
housing units were vacant. This figure was very comparable with that of V olusia
County, in which fifteen (15) percent of all of its housing units were vacant, and
eight (8) percent of the permanent units were vacant. In the State of Florida, vacant
housing accounted for almost thirteen (13) percent of all dwelling units.
There were 845 vacant units in the City of Edgewater in 1990. Of those vacant
units, twenty-eight (28) percent were for sale, nineteen (19) percent for rent, and
thirty-seven (37) percent were seasonal units. The percentage of seasonal units in the
County was slightly higher than in the City (41 %). There were no migrant worker
units within the City of Edgewater, and only twelve (12) migrant worker units in the
County. The analysis section will exclude seasonal units from the affordable housing
calculations / projections.
c. Age of Housing Stock
Table III- 3 shows the housing construction activity in Edgewater for the past 60
years. Only nineteen (19) percent of the City's housing stock was built prior to 1970.
The City experienced tremendous growth during the eighties, when fifty (50) percent
of the homes in the City were built. Construction activity went down to previous
levels in the nineties (see Table III- 12 - Housing Construction Activity, 1990-2000).
During the nineties the City has seen construction of mostly single-family homes and
mobile homes (manufactured homes) with a few duplex units and no multi-family
dwellings.
III-3
CITY OF EDGEWATER
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
Construction activity in V olusia County was more gradual than in the City, but also
reached a peak in the eighties, when thirty-four (34) percent of the total housing
stock was built. Therefore, the majority of the housing units in both the City and the
County are less than 30 years old, and have been constructed to meet demanding
building codes. This situation indicates that, while rehabilitation activities will be
important, residential rehabilitation will not be as critical as in communities with
older housing supplies.
d. Housing Cost - Rent. Value. Monthly Cost
Almost seventy (JO) percent of all the housing units in the City, or almost seventy-
nine (19) of occupied units, were owner-occupied in 1990. Table III- 4 shows
owner-occupied housing units by home value, for both the City of Edgewater and
V olusia County. The City had a relatively even share of units among housing values
below $30,000 and above $150,000. Most of the homes in the City in 1990 were
within $50,000 and $75,000, with the median value reported by the Census at
$62,600 for the City, and $69,200 for the County.
Approximately thirty-three (33) percent of the owner-occupied housing units in the
City were not mortgaged in 1990. Table III- 5 shows the monthly cost of owner-
occupied housing in the City and the County. The median monthly housing cost per
owner-occupied housing unit in the City was $585 if mortgaged and $168 if not
mortgaged. The median costs in the County were $636 and $185, respectively.
Twenty-one (21) percent of all occupied units in the City (nineteen percent of all
units) were rental units in 1990, according to the Census. Table III- 6 shows the
rental units by Gross Rent paid in the City and the County. The median gross rent
in the City in 1990 was $496, while in the County it was $464. Comparing monthly
housing costs in the City and the County, it can be observed that median costs of
owner-occupied homes are generally lower in the City, while median rental costs are
generally higher.
e. Cost/Income Ratio
The Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) estimates that a family is
paying too high a percentage of their income for housing if the cost to income ratio
is greater than thirty (30) percent. The market for owned housing is self-regulating,
meaning lenders are hesitant to risk a mortgage loan on households whose income is
too low to afford housing costs that exceed thirty (30) percent of their income.
Rental housing, however, does not have this regulating feature, and a percentage of
families, usually those with low to moderate income levels, must spend a greater than
acceptable share of their income on housing. Households are defined as very low,
low, and moderate income based on thresholds tied to the median income of a
county or metropolitan statistical area. These thresholds are 50, 80, and 120 percent
of median income, respectively. The median household income in Edgewater in
1989 was $25,053, slighrly higher than the County's $24,818.
III -4
CITY OF EDGEWATER
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
Table III- 7 shows the number of households with monthly housing costs that
exceed thirty (30) percent of their income. Approximately twenty-seven (27) percent
of all the owners, and thirty-six (36) percent of all the renters in the City were paying
more than thirty (30) percent of their incomes for housing in 1990. The percentage
tends to decline as the income range increases.
2. Housing Conditions
a. Physical Conditions
As noted in the previous section, most of the housing stock in the City of Edgewater
is relatively new. The quality of Edgewater's housing stock in 1990 is presented in
Table III- 8. The criteria used to evaluate housing quality are those employed by the
u.s. Bureau of the Census. Measures such as the lack of complete plumbing,
kitchens or hearing equipment, the lack of a water system or means of disposing of
sewage are all indicators of substandard housing conditions.
Generally, the 1990 U.S. Census data indicates that the quality of housing in the City
is high. All units had kitchen facilities; only eighteen (18) units lacked complete
plumbing, and forty-nine (49) units did not use fuel for hearing. All units had a
water supply and a method for sewage disposal. There were 10 boarded up units in
the City and 192 in the County.
In 1995, the City instituted an unsafe building abatement program, which has
enabled the City to require the improvement of the very few seriously deficient
homes within the City. The City's Building Department conducted a housing
conditions survey in November 2000 and found 502 units (5.8% of total units) in
sub-standard, and 87 units (1.1 %) in deteriorated condition. Error! Reference
source not found. shows the location of the sub-standard and deteriorated units.
The definitions for standard, sub-standard and deteriorated are as follows:
Standard: A standard housing structure is one that appears structurally sound with no
apparent sign of decay' and only slight defects, which are easily remedied with normal
maintenance.
S ub-S tandard: A sub-standard. housing structure is one that can be brought up to
standard conditions with rehabilitation. Such housing has one or more defects of an
intermediate nature that must be corrected if the unit is to provide safe and adequate
shelter.
Deteriorated: A deteriorated housing structure is one that has several critical defects
and deteriorated to the point where rehabilitation would exceed fifty (50) percent of
the replacement value.
b. Overcrowding
Overcrowding is also an indicator of substandard housing. According to the U.S.
Bureau of the Census, overcrowding exists if there are more than 1.01 persons per
room living in a dwelling unit. In making these computations, a "room" is defined as
1II-5
CITY OF EDGEWATER
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
a living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, finished recreation room, or enclosed
porch suitable for year-round use. Excluded are bathrooms, open porches,
balconies, halls and utility rooms. Table III- 8 shows that only 121 dwelling units, or
less than two (2) percent of the homes in Edgewater, were considered to be
overcrowded. A little over two (2) percent of the housing units in the County were
overcrowded.
3. Government Subsidized Housing
a. Federal Programs
The u.s. Department of Housing and Urban Development (BUD) funds several
housing programs including the traditional Public Housing Program, Section 8,
Section 202, Section 312, Section 221d3 and Section 236. Most of these programs
are not currently funding new construction, but offer rental subsidies.
The Farmers Home Administration (FHMA) of the Department of Agriculture also
offers rental and owner subsidy programs. There is one facility in Edgewater that
was built under the Rural Housing Program (Section 515), and is currently receiving
.rural rental assistance. That facility, Edgewater Park Apartments, located at 118
Mockingbird Lane and is owned by Stuckey Development (p. O. Box 13526, Macon,
GA), has 35 units and is fully occupied. Section 515 subsidizes rental apartment
complexes in .rural areas for low and moderate-income families. The facilities must
be located in areas with population of 10,000 persons or less, modestly designed, and
within walking distance of churches, schools and other public facilities and
community centers. The program provides funding of up to 95 pe.rcent of the total
developments cost or appraisal value, whichever is less. The developer pays the
remaining five percent. Facilities receiving "interest credit" subsidies make payments
based on one or three percent interest rates with loan terms of up to 50 years.
Other Federal programs include the Community Development Block Grants
(CDBG) and the Urban Development Action Grants (UDAG). The City of
Edgewate.r, because of its size, is not eligible to receive CDBG funds directly.
However, the City is currently receiving funds through the County for infrastructure
improvements.
b. Other Programs
State programs for housing assistance include the Florida Housing Finance Agency,
which provides funding for developers who set aside a percentage of their housing
for low and low-moderate income people. The City does not presently receive this
type of housing assistance from the State.
4. Group Homes
The Florida Department of Children and Family Services licenses and monitors group
homes; foster care homes, nursing homes, and family child care homes. The Agency for
Health Care Administration licenses and monitors assisted living facilities, adult family care
1II-6
CITY OF EDGEWATER
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
homes, and adult day care centers. Currently, there are thirteen (13) Foster Care Homes in
the City of Edgewater, three (3) Assisted Living Facilities, and two (2) Adult Family Care
Homes. The facilities are listed on Table III - 10 and displayed on Error! Reference source
not found..
The City's Land Development Code categorizes group homes of seven or fewer residents as
a single-family home. They are permitted in all zoning districts that permit single-family
homes. Larger group homes are permitted in the City's multi-family and commercial
districts.
5. Mobile Homes
Florida Statutes defines a mobile home as "a structure, transportable in one or more
sections, which is 8 body feet or more in width and which is built on an integral chassis and
designed to be used as a dwelling when connected to the required utilities and includes the
plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electrical systems contained. therein.~'
Manufactured home is defined as "a mobile home fabricated on or after June 15, 1976, in
an offsite manufacturing facility for installation or assembly at the building site, with each
section bearing a seal certifying that it is built in compliance with the Federal Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standard Act." The Census Bureau also considers
manufactured homes as mobile homes for statistical purposes. Therefore, the term mobile
home in this Element refers to both mobile homes and manufactured homes.
Almost twelve (12) percent of the existing housing stock in the City of Edgewater consisted
of mobile homes in 1990, a slightly higher share than in the County, where ten (10) percent
of all housing units were mobile homes. Since 1990, 364 new mobile homes have been
added to the housing stock. Most of these are located within Edgewater Landings, a
manufactured home subdivision.
There are a total of twelve (12) mobile home parks and subdivisions within City limits.
These parks, listed in Table III- 12, contain 1,078 mobile/manufactured home spaces. Most
of the mobile home parks are located on Ridgewood Avenue (US #1), and are operating at
or near capacity. The units are all tied into the City's water and sewer systems. Seven (7) of
the parks lease the lots to tenants that own their mobile homes; three of these seven also
have a few homes for rent and one offers homes for sale. Pyramid Park Corporation sells
shares of the corporation; therefore, tenants buy a percentage of the corporation that entitles
them to lots. Seahorse Adult Mobile Home Park is only available for persons 35 years or
older.
6. Historic Housing
At present, there are no sites in the City of Edgewater listed in the National Register of
Historic Places. Since a professional historic survey of the area has not been made, the
Division of Historical Resources of the Florida Department of State cautions that the
historic potential of this area may not be adequately represented.
The Division maintains a central archive for Florida's historical and archaeological sites
known as the Florida Master Site File (FMSF). These properties are not required to meet
III - 7
CITY OF EDGEWATER
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
any minimum level of historical or scientific importance, but usually are at least fifty years
old, and adequately located and documented. These sites represent the known physical
remains of Florida's prehistoric and historic cultural heritage. Currently, there are thirteen.
reported sites in the City of Edgewater listed on the FMSF, which are presented on Table
III- 13.
In addition to the sites on the Florida Master Site File, local officials have undertaken an
informal survey of historically significant housing in the community. Most of these homes
are along Edgewater's waterfront, as is to be expected. The earliest settlers typically built
their homes near the water, as this afforded them a site close to a source of food, as well as a
primary source of transportation. The oldest home is located immediately north of City
Hall. It was built by Dr. Hawks, the founder of Edgewater, in the 1860's.
7. Housing Construction Activity
From April 1990 to March 2000, building permits were issued for 1,514 residential units.
Permit information proVides a gauge of housing construction activity and should not be used
as a precise representation of the number of units added to the housing supply, as some
units permitted may never be built or may not be completed for several months or even
years.
Table III- 12 presents information on the type of units constructed. It indicates that, since
1990, almost seventy-four (74) percent of the permits issued (1,119 units) were for
construction of single-family residential units. Most of these homes are located within the
Florida Shores subdivision. Since 1990, mobile home permits issued have declined. Most of
the permits issued for mobile homes in the last ten years were for the Edgewater Landings
subdivision. No permits have been issued for multi-family units since 1990.
The City has annexed a total of 35 dwelling units in the past ten years. These units were part
of a mobile home park annexed into the City .in the late nineties. Information on
demolitions and conversions is not available. The City estimates that those figures would be
negligible. As noted above, the City applied locally-defined data to the housing construction
tables provided by Shimberg to reflect more accurate information.
C. ANALYSIS OF HOUSING REQUIREMENTS
Based on the information presented in the previous section, the following statements can summarize
the current housing situation in the City of Edgewater:
· Single family is the most predominant housing type. Even with a slight decline in
proportion from 1980 (83%) to 2000 (80%), these percentages are still higher than in Volusia
County.
· The City experienced a decrease in the proportion of duplex units, and a very slight increase
in the proportion mobile homes since 1980, and no new multi-family units.
· Over 78% of the occupied units in Edgewater were occupied by owners in 1990, compared
to 72% in the County.
· The vacancy rate in the City was lower than in the County in 1990.
III -8
CITY OF EDGEW A TER
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
· The housing stock is very young with almost 81 % built since 1970.
· Home prices in 1990 were about 10% lower in the City than in the County, while rents are
higher in the City.
· In 1990, 27% of homeowners were paying over 30% of their income for housing, while 36%
of renters were paying over 30% of their incomes for rent
· Housing conditions in the City are excellent, with very low percentages of substandard
housing or overcrowding.
· Very few housing assistance programs are being used in the City.
· There are several archaeological sites in the City.
The following section will forecast housing needs based on population projections, and address land
requirements, expected housing supply and the system of housing delivery. The population
projections were derived from two sources. The Florida legislature established a uniform
methodology and data source for the housing element. The Shimberg Center at the University of
Florida assisted the Department of Community Affairs in preparing the affordable housing needs
assessment methodology. The Center used 1995 as the base year and developed projections for the
years 2000, 2005, and 2010. The base year figures for the City and the County, as well as projections
for the County (1995-2010) were obtained from the Bureau of Economic and Business Research
(BEBR). The City has also prepared population projections to the year 2020 (see Table III- 15), and
have adjusted the Shimberg figures accordingly.
The linear shift-share forecast was selected as a projection method, because it most closely corresponds
to expectations regarding future growth in Edgewater. It assumes that Edgewater's population will
increase at a constant rate relative to V olusia County's population and that the City's relative growth
rate will diminish over time. This method projects that the City will add approximately 15,616
residents (an 82 percent increase) between 2000 and 2020, consistent with anticipated economic
growth in the County and region. It assumes an average growth rate of approximately 3.23 percent
per year, compared to a historic rate of 5.85 percent between 1960 and 2000. The linear shift-share
2020 population forecast allows for acceptable growth given the amount of already approved
development and future land use density of vacant residential land in the City. .
Table III- 15 shows the recommended population forecast for the City of Edgewater. Forecasts
developed by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing are included for comparison purposes.
Please refer to the Future Land Use Element for additional population information.
1. Household Characteristics
In order to adequately plan for future housing demand and City service needs, population
and housing projections have been developed. The following section will address expected
changes in household age, size, and income, as these factors will influence the type and size
of housing that will be needed.
III-9
CITY OF EDGEW A TER
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
a. Household Age and Size
Table III- 16 shows projections of households by age to the year 2010. It shows that
in 1990, the elderly population (65+) in Edgewater comprised twenty-five (25)
percent of those 15 and older, or twenty (20) percent of the total population. In the
County the elderly population represented a little more than twenty-seven (27)
percent of those 15 and older in 1990. The percentage in Edgewater is eJ..l'ected to
decrease to eighteen (18) percent by 2010, while the projections for V olusia County
show that the elderly population is expected to remain at twenty-seven (27) percent.
These figures show that the need for housing for the elderly in Edgewater will not be
more pressing than it is at the present time.
Calculating future household size figures is useful to detennine the number, size and
type of housing units that will be needed by the City residents. Table III- 17 shows
the household composition in the City of Edgewater as reported by the 1990 Census,
and also shows projections prepared by the Shimberg Center for Affordable
Housing. It is estimated that the number of households in the City 'will grow from
6,053 in 1990 to 9,943 in 2010. It is estimated that the ratio of owners (78%) and
renters (22%) will remain constant.
Household size in Edgewater in 1990 was dominated by two persons per household.
The Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing projections shows very small changes
in household composition in the next ten years. Table III- 17 shows that it is
expected that the single household category will have a slight decrease, while larger
families (ranging in size from 3 to 5 persons per household) will become slighdy
more prevalent.
b. Household Income
Household income projections will be a key factor in determining the types of
housing the future population will be able to afford. Table III- 18 shows a City and
County comparison of household income by income range, based on the ranges used
by the State and Federal government housing assistance programs. The median
household income in the City in 1989 was $25,053, while in the County was $24,818.
In 1990, approximately sixty-three (63) percent of the City households were within
the moderate to high income categories combined. There were a little over a
thousand (1,000) households, or eighteen (18) percent, within each of the other two
categories (very low and low). These figures are generally consistent with the County
figures.
Table III- 19 shows the projections of household by income and tenure, prepared by
the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing. The figures show that the distribution
of households by income is eJ..l'ected to remain constant over the next ten years, and
that by 2010 there will be 7,785 owners and 2,152 renters.
III-10

2. Projected Housing Needs
Housing need projections are based on population projections. According to population
projections prepared for the City, the City population is expected to increase to 26,398
residents by 2010, and 34,481 by 2020. The Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing
prepares projections of housing needs by tenure, type and cost to the year 2010. Table III-
15 shows a comparison of City and Shimberg population projections. Since population
projections is one of the variables that can be adjusted on the Shimberg affordable housing
tables, the City has chosen to adjust the figures to use their own projections.
a. Housing Tenure. Type and Cost
According to the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, there were 6,779
households in 1995 in the City of Edgewater. It is estimated that there will be 9,937
households by the year 2010. Therefore, by 2010, there will be a demand for
approximately 3,327 additional dwelling units: 3,026 single-family and 301 multi-
family; 2,488 units for ownership and 670 for rent (see Table III- 20 and Table III-
21). These figures were calculated by the Shimberg Center by comparing projections
of housing units and projections of households by income. Table III - 20 shows the
projected demand and need for households by tenure, and Table III- 21 shows the
projected demand and need for housing by building type. Table III- 22 and Table
III- 23 show the surplus and deficit of affordable housing units expected in the next
few years. It can be observed that homeowners in the lower income groups will
experience the greater deficit for affordable housing.
Affordable units are those with a cost lower than 30% of the household's gross
income. This standard is used by the State and the Federal Governments for
determining grants/assistance eligibility. Table III- 7 lists the number of households
e},.l'ected to be paying more than 30% of their income for housing in the next ten
years. These calculations are based on current trends.
b. Housing for Special Populations
Table III- 24 shows the projected demand of housing for the elderfy by tenure.
Shimberg estimates that there will be a need for 2,357 units for the elderly. This
figure indicates the need for certain types of dwelling units to be small, barrier free
and accessible.
Little data exists with respect to the disabled population. The housing problems of
this population relate largely to accessibility. Physical barriers such as narrow
doorways, lack of ramps, counter heights, and appliance design limit the supply of
housing suitable for this group. The housing and building codes of Edgewater
currently address state requirements for handicap accessibility.
The rnral and farm worker population in the City of Edgewater accounts for only two
(2) percent of those employed, and less than one (1) percent of the total population
of the City. Therefore, their housing needs are not expected to impact the housing
market.
III -11
CITY OF EDGEWATER
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
There are no specific areas in the City of Edgewater targeted for the provision of
housing for the very low, low, and moderate income households. Federal programs that
offer rental subsidy, such as Section 8, allow the applicant to choose the location of
the home. The City has a variety of zoning categories that allow for different types
of housing and densities, including the provision of mobile homes.
c. Group Homes
Based on the fact that the percentage of the elderly population is projected by the
Shimberg Center to remain constant in the next few years, it can be assumed that
there will not be a need for additional group home facilities for the elderly.
However, should any new facilities open, they should be small scale if possible and
should be located within residential or mixed use areas in close proximity to bus
routes, neighborhood shopping areas, and other essential personal service uses. The
facilities should have a residential character as opposed to an institutional look and
scale. Location guidelines are the same for group homes for the disabled.
d. Dwelling Unit Demolitions and Conversions
The majority of the housing stock in Edgewater is relatively new. Therefore, not
many demolitions/removals are expected in the next few years. Similarly, the City
does not expect conversions from one use to another.
3. Land Requirements and Availability for Projected Housing Needs
Based on the figures provided by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, a total of
10,693 dwelling units will be needed by 2010, to serve the 9,937 households projected to live
in the City. Of the 10,693 units, 9,720 will need to be single family and 973 multi-family.
Based on the estimated 7,366 dwelling units available in 1995, an additional 3,327 dwelling
units will need to be built between 1995 and 2010 (3,026 single-family and 301 multi-family).
The Future Land Use Element provides in detail the acreages available for development
within each land use category. In order to calculate the residential holding capacity of the
City, the acreage of developable residential lands was converted to units using density
factors, based on the densities permitted in each category and allowing for the provision of
retention areas and rights-of-way. Applying those densities, it can be estimated that the City
would be able to accommodate approximately 4,543 additional dwelling units. Therefore,
there is appropriate land to accommodate the housing needs of the projected City
population (see Table III- 25).
a. Single-family
Much of the single-family zoned land is concentrated in the R-2 district. This district
is oriented toward moderate size units with a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet.
This zone is found primarily in the Florida Shores subdivision, which was initially
platted in the 1950's. This subdivision will playa dominant role in the future
residential development of the City. It is roughly seventy (70) percent developed,
and therefore, infill development could become a major residential issue in the
III -12
CITY OF EDGEW A TER
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
future. However, the issue of infill development is different in the case of Florida
Shores in that many lots have been sold to households from other sections of the
country who may be retiring in the near future. The traditional type of infill consisted
of individual lots or small clusters of lots that remained vacant due to odd shapes,
poor access, ownership problems, changes in zoning and subdivision regulations
requirements, conflicts with surrounding land uses, or land damage by some pre-
urban use (such as land fill sites, dumping areas, wrecking yards, etc.).
Florida Shores is the second largest subdivision in V olusia County, and comprises a
major portion of the western, central, and southwest area of Edgewater. It extends
from 12th Street on the north to 36th Street and the corporate limits on the south,
and from Banyon Tree Drive, one block west of U.S. 1 to the east, to Silver Palm
Drive on the west.
The other two single-family districts containing substantial amounts of vacant
acreage are the "R.l and R-3 zones. The total acreage available for single family
home development is 2,568, which includes the Agriculture, Low Density Transition
and Low Density land use categories shown on the Future land Use Map. The
Mixed-Use land use category will also accommodate a large portion of the single-
family development expected in the future. Table III- 25 shows the acreage available
per land use category, and the maximum densities allowed. As shown on that table,
it is estimated that a total of 1,444 single-family homes could be built within these
districts. The total number of units anticipated to be developed within the mixed-
use districts is 1,331. The mixed-use district allows for both single and multi-family
developments. Based on the standards adopted for the district, it is expected that the
majority of residential development within the mixed-use district will be single-family
homes.
b. Multi-Family
There are about 733 developable acres in the medium and high-density land use
categories. The mixed-use land use category will also allow the development of
multi-family. The maximum density allowed within the High Density and Mixed-
Use categories is twelve (12) dwelling units per acre. However, the City expects an
average density of six (6) dwelling units per acre within these districts. Table III- 25
shows a potential for 1,767 dwelling units to be constructed within the medium and
high-density districts, not including units that could be built within the Mixed-Use
districts.
c. Vacant Mobile Home Districts
During the eighties there was a trend to shift away from mobile home development
as a housing choice, maybe because of the fact that much of the zoned land for this
type of residential use had been developed in Edgewater. However, during the
nineties, there was an increase in mobile home development, mainly due to the
development of Edgewater Landings as manufactured housing.
III -13
CITY OF EDGEW A TER
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
The Medium Density Residential category allows the development of duplex, villa,
cluster, townhouse, mobile home, manufactured and multi-family housing at
densities between five and eight units per acre. Based on the availability of mobile
homes within developed subdivisions and parks, the City does not anticipate the
need to create additional zoning districts for mobile home parks.
d. Summary of Land Availability
The figures prepared by the City and the Shimberg Center indicate that sufficient
vacant residential land exists to accommodate Edgewater's anticipated future
residential growth for the next 10 years. Based on type of development, there seems
to be an adequate balance of land use categories to accommodate single-family,
multi-family and mobile homes units.
4. The Housing Delivery Process
While the City of Edgewater can estimate future housing needs, it cannot take a major role
in supplying housing. That aspect is controlled for the most part by the private sector. The
City can only assist in the delivery of housing by developing flexible regulations, providing
appropriate land use designations and zoning categories, and by planning infrastructure
facilities and services that are adequate to serve future development. The private sector is
currently meeting the needs of the community in terms of providing much of the needed
housing. The home prices in Edgewater are substantially below the average of new housing
costs in many Florida housing markets. The vacancy rate in Edgewater was less than ten
(10) percent in 1995, which indicates that the housing supply is adequate.
a. Financing
Financing for housing has been extremely good in the past few years. Mortgage
interest rates reached 6.5 percent, the lowest level in the last decade. The rates,
however, are starting to go up again. The City may need to consider requiring
developers to provide a certain percentage of affordable units within their
developments as a requirement for development approvals. An alternative to the
requirement could also be a contribution to an affordable housing fund that can be
used for housing/rental assistance to lower income households.
The City should also look into the programs offered through the County for capital
improvements, rehabilitation or down payment/rental assistance, and make those
programs available to City residents.
b. Regulatory and Administrative Process
The process of housing development includes several players, including government
officials in multiple jurisdictions, design consultants, lenders, contractors, attorneys
and the buyer or renter. The process, which at times can be lengthy, can add
unnecessary costs to the development of housing. Many ingredients of housing
development such as interest rates, labor and material costs, and State Laws, are
beyond the control of the City. Nonetheless, a commumty can adopt an attitude that
1II-14
CITY OF EDGEW A TER
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
will affect the cost of housing. By taking a proactive position, the City can start
instituting several actions to address affordable housing.
The first step would be to do a thorough review of the land development code as it
relates to housing affordability. Areas to address include:
· Establishing a local definition of affordable housing
· Expediting the permitting process for affordable housing projects
· Establish density bonuses for the provision of affordable units
· Establish certain zoning waivers such as parking, landscaping and setbacks
· Modify street right-of-way requirements
Another important aspect of reducing the cost of providing affordable housing is reviewing
current development costs charged by the City. The City should review processing
and impact fees and establish reductions or waivers for affordable housing projects.
c. Infill Housing Development
The potential infill housing situation in Edgewater is somewhat different than in
most other cities. Traditionally, infill housing has occurred in areas that were close
to residential "build-out" with at least 90 percent of its residential land already
developed. This traditional type of infill evolved with a small number of vacant
parcels that were bypassed during the normal course of urbanization. In this
process, individual lots or small clusters of lots remained vacant due to odd shapes,
poor access, ownership problems, changes in zoning and subdivision regulations
requirements, conflicts with surrounding land uses, or land damage by some pre-
urban use (such as land fill sites, dumping areas, wrecking yards, etc.).
Large numbers of "passed over" parcels can often lead to lower market and assessed
values for adjacent developed residential properties. It may often lower property
values in entire neighborhoods where large numbers of vacant parcels exist.
Many of the vacant lots in Edgewater are within the Florida Shores subdivision. It is
important for Edgewater to develop strategies and programs that encourage the
filling in of these vacant residential parcels with new housing. One strategy would be
to develop a vacant residential parcel map and database utilizing, if possible, the
V olusia County Property Appraisers Office as a base. Such a system should include
the size, location, physical characteristics, utilities, zoning, and ownership data. The
database and map should be available to developers/builders interested in providing
affordable housing.
d. Mobile Homes
Rule 9J-5 requires that policies be developed which ensure adequate sites for mobile
homes. Earlier in the Housing Element, it was revealed that during the decade of
the nineties, the development of mobile home parks and subdivisions increased.
Since the 1990 Census, the City added 350 mobile home units to its housing stock.
III -15
CITY OF EDGEWATER
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
The majority of those units have located within the Edgewater Landings subdivision.
Growth among the other mobile homes has been negligible.
Mobile homes and mobile home developments have long had a reputation of being
visually unattractive. Often, localities have had the tendency to regulate these
housing types to undesirable areas of the community, such as adjacent to industrial
areas and railroad tracks and areas which lack utilities or community facilities.
Mobile homes were rarely allowed or encouraged in areas well suited for residential
development. However, as the cost of single-family dwellings has gone beyond the
reach of many households, communities have started to change their local decision
making process regarding the location of mobile homes. Rule 9J-5 requirements will
also alter local governments traditional decision-making process regarding mobile
homes. In consideration of these factors the following general criteria have been
provided for the designation of future mobile home or manufactured home
developments.
· Mobile home parks should be located adjacent to areas with a comparable
density of development or near small-scale convenience or neighborhood
commercial activity.
· They should be in areas accessible to arterial and collector roads;
· They should also be located on sites presently served by public water or
sanitary sewer service, or in areas programmed for such service in the City's
five-year capital improvements program;
· They should be located within reasonable proximity to community facilities.
· Where mobile home development or individual mobile homes are designated
to be located adjacent to residential uses, especially those of lower densities,
buffer areas should be required to make the transition in density more
compatible to the general neighborhood and community.
In addition to these general provisions, the issue of improving existing substandard
mobile home development should be addressed. These areas should be upgraded to
modem mobile home plaiming and design requirements.
e. Infrastructure Requirements
The infrastructure needed to support low and moderate housing activities is similar
to that required to support other development activity. The adequacy of this
infrastructure is evaluated in various elements and summarized in the Future Land
Use Element. Generally speaking, improvements to the road system, the water and
sewer systems, and the drainage system will be necessary to support future land
development activities, including low and moderate income housing. The City has
several programs that are planned or underway to make infrastructure
improvements, as indicated in the Capital Improvements Element
III -16
CITY OF EDGEW A TER
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
HOUSING ELEMENT
One consideration is the cost and methods for funding these improvements. New
development is required to make dedications of land and/or site related
improvements to contribute to the larger system capacity increases. The City also
requires payment of impact fees to cover the cost of needed improvements. Once
the property is developed and sold, the new landowners are required to pay periodic
assessments to fund operations and capital improvements.
In the case of low and moderate-income projects, funds for development and
operation are usually limited. Extra fees imposed on low and moderate-income
projects can be expected to be a problem, occasionally enough to destroy the
financial feasibility of the project.
Under the theory that these are fees for services or benefits received, these fees and
charges typically are not reduced for low and moderate-income projects. On the
other hand, provision of adequate housing for low and moderate-income persons
and households is a benefit to the public at large.
