July 7, 2004 TRANSCRIPT OF THE MEETING OF THE COLLIER COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL Naples, Florida, July 7, 2004 LET IT BE REMEMBERED, that the Collier County Environmental Advisory Council in and for the County of Collier, having conducted business herein, met on this date at 9:00 AM in REGULAR SESSION in Building "F of the Government Complex, East Naples, Florida, with the following members present: CHAIRMAN: Alfred F. Gal Ed Carlson William Hughes Michael Sorrell Joseph Gammons Michael Bauer ALSO PRESENT: Patrick White, Assistant County Attorney Barbara Burgeson, Environmental Specialist 1 July 7, 2004 Meeting was called to order by Chairman Alfred F. Gal at 9:00 AM. I. Roll Call Roll Call was taken - a quorum was established. Eric Lynne and Ken Humiston were excused. Judith Hushon was absent. II. Approval of Agenda: Agenda was approved 6-0. III. Approval of May 5,2004 Meeting Minutes: Mr. Hughes made a motion to approve the minutes; Mr. Gammons seconded. May 5, 2004 Meeting Minutes were approved 6-0. IV. Land Use Petitions: A. Planned Unit Development No. PUDZ-2003-AR-4046 "Summit Place in Naples PUD" Section 35,Township 48 South,Range 26 East No Disclosures. Dwight Nadeau presents the information for the PUD for Summit Place and displays a map. • Adding northern 40 acres • Total of 98.4 acres (additional 40.58 acres) • Total of 394 Dwelling Units (additional 163 units) • Summit Place subdivision is under construction • Summit Place has its South Florida Water Management Permit • Obtained 2 RAI's and successfully responded • 27 acres of conservation; this is an increase over the 9.9 acres originally approved in the Hibiscus Village PUD. With this preserve there will be enhanced wetlands, created wetlands and upland preserves. • Aerial indicates that preserve is up against some undeveloped lands • Palermo Cove PUD will be coming up in 8-9 months • Preserve will be contiguous with Summit Place Preserve • 70% of wetlands will be preserved • $150,000 payment will be made to the Big Cypress Mitigation Bank Ed Carlson: I have 2 different maps, one has 2 lakes and one has 1 lake. The preserve boundary is different in each map, which is correct? Mr. Nadeau: Confirms which map is correct and that the preserve in the new plan is larger than the preserve in the old plan. 2 July 7, 2004 Mr. Hughes inquires about the approval from the South Florida Water Management District. Mr. Nadeau confirms that they do not yet have approval for phase II; for this change. Mr. Hughes: Does this fit our plan for Green space Greenways? Ms. Mason: They meet the requirements and are contiguous with 2 preserves and a future preserve as well. Mr. Carlson asks for an explanation of"filling floodplain area?" Stan Chrzanowski: The floodplain compensation issue is new. When rivers overflow their banks it goes to the floodplain. There is a very flat topography here. Most fill for house pads and developments are fill being put in for floodplains. Golden Gate Estates is a prime example; we will have 30,000 homes, most in a floodplain. We have written a policy that, effective August 1, 2004, requires floodplain compensation calculations, either upfront or with the design. Mr. Carlson: How do they do the compensation? Where is the compensation? Mr. Chrzanowski: This is a tough question. (Indicating Map) In the Golden Gate Estates area there are all revised house pads. There is no way to compensate. The only way to compensate is to take an area that is above the base flood elevation and drop it below the base flood elevation. When all of the area is below the base flood elevation there is no way to compensate. If you have a parcel that is both high and low, you can actually dig out and compensate for the floodplain. Mr. Bauer: I have a question about page 5 of the staff report. For wetland mitigation it indicates a wetland preserve and credit in the Big Cypress Mitigation Bank. Mike Myers: There will be a combination of on-site preserve and off-site mitigation. There was a lengthy conversation regarding the long term water management of the area. Mr. Hughes: Is flooding a problem in the long term? Mr. Chrzanowski: Yes, as different projects come in. This is a county wide problem. With floodplain compensation it's impossible to solve with off-site mitigation. You can either hold water back or make it rise. You can either start draining things properly. However when you drain it out it goes to the coast areas quicker. You can hold it in lakes, large retention areas, buy up public lands. There are a lot of solutions but every one of them gets to be prohibitively expensive. Between the FEMA study and the LIDAR topography we are learning a lot about this area. We can now look at area and predict the problems. We know the solutions, but a lot of times the solution is not 3 July 7, 2004 possible because you want to drain the water to help the people, but you cant drain the water quicker so it's a"catch-22." Mr. Carlson: We've been using the drainage technique for some time and we're finding out that it's detrimental. It seems to me that raising control elevations and finding a way to store more water on the land would be the way to go. Mr. Chrzanowski: However, there are a lot of structures built according to the old control elevations and then the septic tanks and drain fields will malfunction and the roads will flood. Mr. Carlson: With adjustable wier gate structures for those 100 year storms it seems like something could be worked out that will increase the storage 99% of the time and if you have a 100 year storm there is a control structure to take care of that. Mr. Chrzanowski: If you have a totally non-automatic system and the personnel are properly trained and monitoring it 100% of the time you could probably get it to work fairly good if your weather forecasting improved to the point that you could drain down your system to prepare for the next storm. This is a philosophical discussion Mr. Carlson: I believe we have the technology. I am willing to pay for more water storage and more sophisticated water control systems in this county. Mr. Hughes: This particular project is within the current guidelines of the law, is that correct? Also, we will be notifying of any additional requirements so no one is getting blind-sided. I so move that we approve this project. Mr. Gammons seconds. Mr. Carlson: Preserves like this are a good way to conserve water and green space. This is a good project with 70% preserved and as we defer to the other regulatory agencies I guess the best we can do. I wish it were 90% preserved. Mr.Bauer: However it is just another net loss of wetlands. Mr. White: Please note that the motion should be to approve the EIS and to make a recommendation for approval with respect to the re-zoning. I would ask that the motion maker and second revise the motion accordingly. Mr. Hughes revises the motion to approve the EIS and to make a recommendation for approval with respect to the re-zoning. Mr. Gammons agrees. Motion carries 5-1. Mr. White notes that this is official action. 4 July 7, 2004 V. Old Business: None VI. New Business Barbara Burgeson introduces Christina Sanchez and Susan Mason, both staff members that will be working with the EAC. VII. Council Member Comments Mr. Hughes: The confusion that we have here today regarding the water management issue is extremely complex and it has to be addressed. Mr. Sorrell: Stan, I have a few questions regarding the Draft Implementation Plan for Picayune Strand. The water table changes proposed there would render the septic system in Golden Gate Estates void. They are recommending that sewer and water be put in. Mr. Chrzanowski: I saw that recommendation. There is some question as to whether the water table will be raised. It would affect the septic and drain fields and possibly some wells. My understanding is that at some point we will have sewer and water out there. Right now we have water shortages from the wells out there and there are only 10,000 homes now. When the Estates increases to 30,000 homes, there will be some serious problems. We can either do it well ahead of time or wait until there are problems and address it then which will be a process. I'm an engineer, we like to do things ahead of time, but it is not always politically and financially feasible. Mr. Sorrell: A couple of weeks ago, there was an article in the newspaper that noted that they are planning on using 72,000 yards of contaminated soil in the Belle Meade area to use as dykes. Once they stack this water, they are going to kill the pines and eliminate the red cockaded woodpecker from the area. In your opinion, what is going to happen to the contaminants? I think this is worth researching. Mr. Chrzanowski: I rather not give an opinion on that, I have not heard about that. Barbara Burgeson: I have one other item, Susan planning a future workshop for the EAC. Susan Mason: We are getting representative from DEP to make a presentation about TMDLs (Total Maximum Daily Loads.) It's a newer program for federal and state. It will probably be in August or shortly after that. Mr. Hughes: Can we have the South Florida Water Management people come here? Ms.Burgeson: We do invite them to every meeting and we will continue to do that. 5 July 7, 2004 Mr. Chrzanowski: We e-mail them copies of the agenda but they have had a lot of staff rN changes. Mr. Bauer: I would like to disclose that I work for the South Florida Water Management District, but I do not have contact with the Permitting Department. I could point you in the right direction. VIII. Public Comments Mr. White updates the committee on the LDC-UDC process which will be effective Monday, September 27th at 12:01 am. These are structural changes to the look and feel of the LDC, not to the actual content. This is available for review on the Community Development website. Ms. Burgeson advises the committee that they will receive new notebooks for the UDC and, if needed, training sessions or workshops can be provided to make them comfortable with the changes. Mr. Sorrell: I have a comment regarding The Mod Waters Project, the culverts under 41. The mandate stated that Mod Waters had to be finished prior to any restoration of the Everglades. They have already filled up canals; they started filling them before they had the permits. Almost all the ditches that used to be on Immokalee Road prior to construction have been blocked off. There are only two that are functioning. Over the weekend we had less than 2 inches of rain and there was water on Wilson Boulevard. The Immokalee Canal no longer flows into the Cocohatchee River. Mr. Chrzanowski: At present we have a contractor,Dick Tomassello, doing a base flood elevation study, the computer model that he generates will tell us how high the water rises with the conditions that are there now. I don't think there are any plans to take that model and re-run it with the improvements. I suppose we could but that would cost a bit of money to do. That would tell us whether or not the improvements (improvements meaning construction) would affect the water flow. Mr. White: The topography in Collier and most of Southwest Florida is very flat. The traditional notion of flow ways is one that is difficult to apply. Mr. Chrzanowski: There is an area called Winchester Head. The county is currently trying to buy it for floodplain compensation. We are getting some resistance to that. When you look at the topography, there is not a doubt in my mind that drains a basin of about 4 square miles. The water just flows and sits in there. If somebody wanted to come in and build, we have to let them. There is no way to stop them and there is no way anybody can dig out anything there for floodplain compensation for that. There is no easy solution. Mr. Hughes: Changing building codes would be the only way to do this. Rather than build platforms if homes are literally on posts, it will allow the flow. 6 July 7, 2004 Mr. Chrzanowski: That may have an impact on FEMA. If your entire grade is a flood zone, you could pay a higher rate. Every time we try to do something there is a reason we should and a reason we shouldn't. Mr. Hughes: By legislating codes, so no one is blind sided, there could be a solution. I know there is no easy answer. Mr. White: As practical as that sounds, we have to remember that there are roads out there that are somewhat elevated and will then act as dykes. Depending upon the amount of volume that you can put through the culverts and pipes, perhaps you can compensate for the amount of sheet flow. Going back to the original plan, there was a canal system that was largely intended to handle this issue. We will have to wait for the results of the computer model and I'm sure economics will drive design solutions. People have the option today to build the very structures you are speaking about (stilt houses) and I suspect that there is a reason why they choose fill. Mr. Carlson: It should be easier here than in other parts of the country with different topography, where you get 6 inches of rain and you have 6 feet of water coming down the valley. Here, if we get 6 inches of rain we have 6 inches of water. It should be easy here, but it's not. Mr. Sorrell: Earlier this year we had enough rain to close four main arteries in this county. Mr. Hughes: I think this should be considered further for alternative, environmentally sensitive design. Mr. Bauer: I think by 2007 if we do not come up with a plan, the state will force people to do something about storm water. IX.

OTHER NOTES: The UDC will be modified to include portions of this Overlay District, which were inadvertently omitted. Amend the UDC [LDC] as follows: 2.03.07 G. [2.2.29] 6. NONCONFORMING MOBILE HOME PARK Overlay Subdistrict. Establishment of special conditions for these properties which by virtue of actions preceding the adoption of Ordinance No. 91-102, on October 30, 1991, were deemed to be NONCONFORMING as a result of inconsistencies with the land development code, and are located within the Immokalee Urban Boundary as depicted on the Immokalee Area Master Plan. a. Purpose and intent. The purpose of these provisions is to recognize that there are NONCONFORMING MOBILE HOME PARKS in the Immokalee Urban Area, to provide incentives to upgrade these parks while requiring the elimination of substandard units, and to allow park owners to take advantage of alternative DEVELOPMENT standards in order to cause some upgrading of conditions that would normally be required of conforming MOBILE HOME PARKS. Travel trailers, regardless of the square footage, are not permitted as a permanent habitable STRUCTURE. b. Required site improvement plan application. The property owners of all NONCONFORMING MOBILE HOME developments/parks that were in existence before November 13, 1991, i.e., that predate Ordinance No. 91-102, the land development code, shall be required to submit a site improvement plan (SIP) meeting the standards set forth below by January 9, 2003 or thereafter within the time frame set forth in an order of the Code Enforcement Board finding a violation of this section, or by the date set forth in a Compliance or Settlement Agreement entered into between Collier County and a property owner acknowledging such a violation and also establishing the date by which such violation will be cured through the SIP submittal process set forth below. c. The site improvement plan (SIP) master plan shall illustrate the way existing BUILDINGS are laid out and the infrastructure (i.e. utilities, STREETS, drainage, LANDSCAPING, parking and the like) to serve those BUILDINGS. The number and location of BUILDINGS shall be reviewed for consistency with Code requirements (i.e. setbacks, space between buildings, density, and the like). Similarly, the SIP shall serve to provide a basis for obtaining approval of required infrastructure improvements such as those referenced herein. The approved SIP showing all of the above shall become the official record acknowledging the legal use of the property. Failure to initiate this process within the time frames set forth above, will result in a Code violation in which the property owner will be required to immediately remove all MOBILE HOMES which have not received a building permit and all MOBILE HOMES deemed to be unsafe and unfit for human habitation, and otherwise contrary to the county's housing code unless otherwise prohibited by state law. d. For the specific requirements concerning the SIP submission referenced in b. and c. above, see section 10.02.05 F. of this code. /© ORIGIN: Community Development&Environmental Services Division AUTHOR: David Weeks, AICP, Chief Planner DEPARTMENT: Comprehensive Planning AMENDMENT CYCLE # OR DATE: LDC Cycle 2, 2004 LDC PAGE: N/A - this Section of LDC not yet codified by Municipal Code Corp.

REASON: The existing drug store language in the C-3 commercial zoning district is unclear. The intent of the text in section 2.2.14.2.1.16. is meant to exclude drug stores from being subject to the 5,000 square feet cap and is not meant to exclude drug stores from a use permitted in the zoning district. The miscellaneous uses excluded from this zoning district are those specifically excepted in the parenthetical listing of SIC groups.

REASON: Unintended omission. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: None. RELATED CODES OR REGULATIONS: Various. GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPACT: None. OTHER NOTES/VERSION DATE: Version created on July 12, 2004 at 5:22 p.m. Amend the UDC ILDC] as follows: 2.06.04 12.7.7.4.1 Limitations on AFFORDABLE HOUSING density bonus. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the following limitations and conditions shall apply to all of the AHDB for a DEVELOPMENT: A. AFFORDABLE HOUSING density bonus DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT required. The AHDB shall be available to a DEVELOPMENT only when an AHDB DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT has been entered into by the developer/APPLICANT and the BCC, and such agreement has been approved by the county attorney and the BCC pursuant to the public hearing process established in this section prior to execution. Amendments to such agreement shall be processed in the same manner as the original agreement. The AHDB DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT shall include, at a minimum, the following provisions: 1. Legal description of the land subject to the agreement and the names of its legal and equitable owners. 2. Total number of residential DWELLING UNITS in the DEVELOPMENT. 3. Minimum number of AFFORDABLE HOUSING units, categorized by level of household income,type of unit(single-family or multifamily, owner-occupied or rental), and number of bedrooms, required in the DEVELOPMENT. 4. Maximum number of AHDB DWELLING UNITS permitted in the DEVELOPMENT. 5. Gross RESIDENTIAL DENSITY of the DEVELOPMENT. 6. Amount of monthly rent for rental units, or the price and conditions under which an owner-occupied unit will be sold, for each type of AFFORDABLE HOUSING unit in accordance with the definition for each type of AFFORDABLE HOUSING rental unit(moderate, low, and very low). 7. The foregoing notwithstanding, any rent charged for an AFFORDABLE HOUSING unit rented to a low or very low income family shall not exceed 90 percent of the rent charged for a comparable market rate dwelling in the same or similar DEVELOPMENT. Comparable market rate means the rental amount charged for the last market rate dwelling unit of comparable square footage, amenities, and number of bedrooms, to be rented in the same DEVELOPMENT. 8. No AFFORDABLE HOUSING unit in the DEVELOPMENT shall be rented to a tenant whose household income has not been verified and certified in accordance with this division as moderate, low, or very low income family. Such verification and certification shall be the responsibility of the developer and shall be submitted to the County Manager or his designee for approval. Tenant income verification and certification shall be repeated annually to assure continued eligibility. 9. No AFFORDABLE HOUSING unit that is to be sold, leased with option to purchase, or otherwise conveyed in the DEVELOPMENT shall be sold, leased with option to purchase, or otherwise conveyed to a buyer whose household income has not been verified and certified in accordance with this section as moderate, low, or very low income family. Such verification and certification shall be the responsibility of the developer and shall be submitted to the County Manager or his designee for approval. It is the intent of this section to keep housing affordable; therefore, any person who buys an AFFORDABLE HOUSING unit must agree, in a lien instrument to be recorded with the clerk of the circuit court of Collier County, Florida, that if he sells the property(including the land and/or the unit) within 15 years after his original purchase at a sales price in excess of five percent per year of his original purchase price that he will pay to the county an amount equal to one-half of the sales price in excess of five percent increase per year. The lien instrument may be subordinated to a qualifying first mortgage. 10. For example, a person originally buys a designated AFFORDABLE HOUSING unit(a house) for$60,000.00 and sells it after five years for $80,000.00. A five percent increase per year for five years will give a value of$76,577.00. Deducting this amount from the sales price of $80,000.00 gives a difference of$3,423.00. The seller would then owe the county$1,711.50 (one-half of$3,423.00). Payment of this amount would release the first owner from the recorded lien against the property. Such payment shall be maintained in a segregated fund, established by the county solely for AFFORDABLE HOUSING purposes, and such money shall be used solely to encourage, provide for, or promote AFFORDABLE HOUSING in Collier County. 11. No AFFORDABLE HOUSING unit in any BUILDING or STRUCTURE in the DEVELOPMENT shall be occupied by the developer, any person related to or affiliated with the developer, or a resident manager. 12. When the developer advertises,rents, sells or maintains the AFFORDABLE HOUSING unit, it must advertise,rent, sell, and maintain the same in a nondiscriminatory manner and make available any relevant information to any person who is interested in renting or purchasing such AFFORDABLE HOUSING unit. The developer shall agree to be responsible for payment of any real estate commissions and fees. The AFFORDABLE HOUSING units in the DEVELOPMENT shall be identified on all BUILDING plans submitted to the county and described in the application for AHDB. 13. The developer shall not disclose to persons, other than the potential tenant, buyer or lender of the particular AFFORDABLE HOUSING unit or units,which units in the DEVELOPMENT are designated as AFFORDABLE HOUSING units. 14. The square footage, construction and design of the AFFORDABLE HOUSING units shall be the same as market rate DWELLING UNITS in the DEVELOPMENT. 15. The AHDB agreement and authorized DEVELOPMENT shall be consistent with the growth management plan and land DEVELOPMENT regulations of Collier County that are in effect at the time of DEVELOPMENT. Subsequently adopted laws and policies shall apply to the AHDB agreement and the DEVELOPMENT to the extent that they are not in conflict with the number, type of AFFORDABLE HOUSING units and the amount of AHDB approved for the DEVELOPMENT. 16. The AFFORDABLE HOUSING units shall be intermixed with, and not segregated from, the market rate DWELLING UNITS in the DEVELOPMENT. 17. The conditions contained in the AHDB DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT shall constitute covenants, restrictions, and conditions which shall run with the land and shall be binding upon the property and every person having any interest therein at anytime and from time to time. 18. The AHDB DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT shall be recorded in the official records of Collier County, Florida, subsequent to the recordation of the grant deed pursuant to which the developer acquires fee simple title to the property. 19. Each AFFORDABLE HOUSING unit shall be restricted to remain and be maintained as the type of AFFORDABLE HOUSING rental unit (moderate, low or very low income) designated in accordance with the AHDB DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT for at least 15 years from the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for such unit. 20. The developer and owner of the DEVELOPMENT shall provide on-site management to assure appropriate security, maintenance and appearance of the DEVELOPMENT and the DWELLING UNITS where these issues are a factor. B. Compliance with growth management plan and land DEVELOPMENT regulations. The AHDB shall be available to a DEVELOPMENT only to the extent that it otherwise complies and is consistent with the GMP and the land DEVELOPMENT regulations, including the procedures, requirements, conditions and criteria for planned unit DEVELOPMENTS (PUDs) and rezonings,where applicable. C. Minimum number of AFFORDABLE HOUSING units. The minimum number of AFFORDABLE HOUSING units that shall be provided in a DEVELOPMENT pursuant to this section shall be ten AFFORDABLE 0 HOUSING units. D. Nontransferable. The AHDB is not transferrable between DEVELOPMENTS or properties. E. Phasing. In the case where a DEVELOPMENT will occur in more than one phase, the percentage of AFFORDABLE HOUSING units to which the developer has committed for the total DEVELOPMENT shall be maintained in each phase and shall be constructed as part of each phase of the DEVELOPMENT on the property. For example, if the total DEVELOPMENT'S AHDB is based on the provision of ten percent of the total DWELLING UNITS as AFFORDABLE HOUSING rental units for low income households with two bedrooms per unit, then each phase must maintain that same percentage (ten percent in this case) cumulatively. 2.06.05 12.7.7.5.E AFFORDABLE HOUSING density bonus monitoring program. A. Annual progress and monitoring report. The AHDB for a DEVELOPMENT shall be subject to the AHDB monitoring program set forth in this section. The developer shall provide the County Manager or his designee with an annual progress and monitoring report regarding the delivery of AFFORDABLE HOUSING rental units throughout the period of their construction, rental and r-� occupancy for each of the developer's DEVELOPMENTS which involve the AHDB in a form developed by the County Manager or his designee. The annual progress and monitoring report shall, at a minimum,require any information reasonably helpful to ensure compliance with this section and provide information with regard to AFFORDABLE HOUSING in Collier County. To the extent feasible, the County Manager or his designee shall maintain public records of all DWELLING UNITS (AHDB and AFFORDABLE HOUSING units) constructed pursuant to the AHDB program, all AFFORDABLE HOUSING units constructed pursuant to the AHDB program, occupancy statistics of such DWELLING UNITS, complaints of violations of this section which are alleged to have occurred, the disposition of all such complaints, a list of those persons who have participated as tenants or buyers in the AHDB program, and such other records and information as the County Manager or his designee believes may be necessary or desirable to monitor the success of the AHDB program and the degree of compliance therewith. Failure to complete and submit the monitoring report to the County Manager or his designee within 60 days from the due date will result in a penalty of up to $50.00 per day per incident or occurrence unless a written extension not to exceed 30 days is requested prior to expiration of the 60-day submission deadline. B. Income verification and certification. t o., 1. Eligibility. The determination of eligibility of moderate, low, and very low income families to rent or buy and occupy AFFORDABLE HOUSING units is the central component of the AHDB monitoring program. Family income eligibility is a three-step process: (1) submittal of an application by a buyer or tenant; (2)verification of family income; and(3) execution of an income certification. All three shall be accomplished prior to a buyer or tenant being qualified as an eligible family to rent or purchase and occupy an AFFORDABLE HOUSING unit pursuant to the AHDB program. No person shall occupy an AFFORDABLE HOUSING unit provided under the AHDB program prior to being qualified at the appropriate level of income (moderate, low or very low income). 2. The developer shall be responsible for accepting applications from buyers or tenants,verifying income and obtaining the income certification for its DEVELOPMENT which involves AHDB, and all forms and documentation must be provided to the County Manager or his designee prior to qualification of the buyer or tenant as a moderate, low or very low income family. The County Manager or his designee shall review all documentation provided, and may verify the information provided from time to time. Prior to occupancy by a qualified buyer or tenant, the developer shall provide to the County Manager or his designee, at a minimum,the application for AFFORDABLE HOUSING qualifications including the income verification form and the income certification form, and the purchase contract, lease, or rental agreement for that qualified buyer or tenant. At a minimum, the lease shall include the name, address and telephone number of the head of household and all other occupants, a description of the unit to be rented, the term of the lease, the rental amount, the use of the premises, and the rights and obligations of the parties. Random inspections to verify occupancy in accordance with this section may be conducted by the County Manager or his designee. 3. Application. A potential buyer or tenant shall apply to the developer, owner, manager, or agent to qualify as a moderate, low, or very low income family for the purpose of renting and occupying an AFFORDABLE HOUSING rental unit pursuant to the AHDB program. The application for AFFORDABLE HOUSING qualification shall be in a form provided by the County Manager or his designee and may be a part of the income certification form. 4. Income verification. The County Manager or his designee or the developer shall obtain written verification from the potential occupant(including the entire household)to verify all regular sources of income to the potential tenant(including the entire household). The written verification form shall include, at a minimum,the purpose of the verification, a statement to release information, employer verification of gross annual income or rate of pay, number of hours worked, frequency of pay,bonuses, tips and Cpg° commissions and a signature block with the date of application. The n verification may take the form of the most recent year's federal income tax return for the potential occupants (including the entire household), a statement to release information, tenant verification of the return, and a signature block with the date of application. The verification shall be valid for up to 90 days prior to occupancy. Upon expiration of the 90-day period, the information may be verbally updated from the original sources for an additional 30 days,provided it has been documented by the person preparing the original verification. After this time, a new verification form must be completed. 5. Income certification. Upon receipt of the application and verification of income, an income certification form shall be executed by the potential buyer or tenant(including the entire household)prior to sale or rental and occupancy of the AFFORDABLE HOUSING unit by the owner or tenant. Income certification that the potential occupant has a moderate, low, or very low household income qualifies the potential occupant as an eligible family to buy or rent and occupy an AFFORDABLE HOUSING unit under the AHDB program. The income certification shall be in a form provided by the County Manager or his designee. 2.06.06 12.7.7.6.1 Violations and enforcement. A. Violations. It is a violation of section 2.06.00 to rent, sell or occupy, or attempt to rent, sell or occupy, an AFFORDABLE HOUSING rental unit provided under the AHDB program except as specifically permitted by the terms of section 2.06.00, or to knowingly give false or misleading information with respect to any information required or requested by the County Manager or his designee or by other persons pursuant to the authority which is delegated to them by section 2.06.00.

LDC SUPPLEMENT#: 16 CHANGE: The proposed amendment clarifies how properties with lakes approved under less effective requirements having littoral zones that are no longer functioning will gain compliance. The new language requires an assessment of the reason for noncompliance as opposed to the existing language where the assessment is only discretionary. REASON: Lakes permitted prior to the LDC amendment creating Littoral Planting Shelf Areas (LPSAs) were constructed with 4:1 slopes. In many situations, these steep slopes do not allow for survival or functioning of the required littoral plants. The proposed amendment would remove confusing language and clearly state how lakes where littoral areas are not functioning and are not in compliance will come into compliance. Although the current LDC section lists specific criteria that shall be followed for these types of situations, the use of the word "may" in the introductory sentence is contradictory to the intent of this section, which was intended to specifically require that the subsequent criteria be met for previously approved projects that no longer have functioning littoral shelves. Since this is inconsistent with the intent of the section, staff recommends that"may"be replaced with"shall" in the first section in order to be consistent with the subsequent criteria. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: This proposed change will not require any additional staff time since staff would still be involved in processing a compliance case for projects where the required littoral zones are no longer functioning. Staff estimates that the required assessment will require approximately 20 to 40 hours to complete. At $75 per hour, the cost of the assessment would be in the range of$1,500 to $3,000.

LDC Amendment Request ORIGIN: Solid Waste Management AUTHOR: Denise Kirk DEPARTMENT: Solid Waste Management AMENDMENT CYCLE # OR DATE: Cycle 2, 2004 LDC PAGE: LDC2:188.4 LDC/UDC SECTION: old LDC section 2.16.15. LDC SUPPLEMENT#: Supplement 17 CHANGE: Adding recycling receptacle requirement. REASON: To enhance community character by addressing garbage and recycling receptacles. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: None. RELATED CODES OR REGULATIONS: 9.04.00 (Variances) GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPACT: None. OTHER NOTES/VERSION DATE: The Ordinance number will need to be incorporated into the language as soon as it becomes available. Amend the LDC/UDC as follows: 5.03.04 [Sec. 2.6.15.] Dumpsters and Recycling. SOLID WASTE disposal and recycling (Ordinance No. 04-XX) shall be required in the form of bulk container service (garbage and recycling dumpsters and/or compactors receptacles) for all commercial and industrial establishments and multi-family projects not receiving curbside garbage and recycling pickup. SOLID WASTE disposal and recycling shall be required in the form of curbside pickup for all units on the Mandatory Trash Collection and Disposal roll. All individual units within a deed-restricted area must have an enclosed location other than the residential structure, such as a carport or 5 garage for the storage of individual SOLID WASTE containers, or as otherwise permitted below. A. Trash container location requirements. 1. All trash or recycle receptacles shall be located so as to be easily accessible to the residents and the solid waste hauler. 2. Dumpsters and their enclosures may be located within a required yard provided that they do not encroach into a required landscape area and that there is no blockage of view of motorists or pedestrians that would constitute a safety hazard. 3. For multi-family residential developments having more than one structure, no dumpster shall be located more than 250 feet from the structure that it is intended to serve (unless a compactor is used for service). 4. All projects subject to the provisions of LDC section 5.05.08 shall locate trash containers in accordance with the relevant provisions of that section. B. ACCESS to trash containers. The ACCESS approach to the container should be sufficient to accommodate a vehicle requiring a minimum clear width of 10 feet and a minimum clear turning radius of 50 feet when directly accessing a public street. Containers and enclosures shall be placed such that the accessing vehicles are not required to maneuver in the ADJACENT travel lanes of any street. When backing maneuvers are required to permit the vehicle to exit from the container, provision shall be made to provide an apron at least 10 feet wide and 60 feet in length ADJACENT to the container. C. Container quantities. In the case of multi-family DEVELOPMENTS and commercial and industrial businesses that do not receive curbside service and choose to use dumpster service, at least one standard size bulk container (garbage dumpster) shall be required for trash disposal and at least one receptacle for recycling. Prior to site development plan submittal, the contractor, developer or homeowner's association must contact Collier County Utility Building and Customer Service to estimate the number and sizes of bulk containers needed. D. Enclosure dimensions. :5 Enclosures for dumpsters shall have minimum internal dimensions of twelve (12) by twelve (12) feet for each standard garbage dumpster contained inside. with a separate area for recycling receptacles enclosed by vegetative screening. An alternative is an enclosure with minimum internal dimensions of twelve (12) by twenty-four (24) feet for no less than two standard receptacles contained inside (one for garbage and one for recycling). If equipped with gates, the clear opening dimension shall be a minimum of twelve (12) feet or twenty-four (24) feet depending on enclosure style, as defined in this paragraph and the gates must be provided with a devise device to hold them open. E. Container screening. Except as noted below, all suers receptacles shall be screened on at least three (3) sides from view of ADJACENT property owners and from ADJACENT STREETS on the first-floor level. All enclosures must have a cement pad as the floor of the enclosure. This screening shall not be subject to height limitations for fences, provided that the vision of motorists on ADJACENT STREETS remains unobstructed. Screening may be exempted: 1. In I (Industrial) zoning, so long as the containers are located more than 200 feet from residentially zoned or used property, and are not located within front yards; 2. In A (Rural Agricultural) zoning in conjunction with a bona fide agricultural use; and 3. During construction in all zoning districts. Screening material shall consist of a wood fence, concrete block and stucco wall, brick wall, masonry wall, or walls of similar material. For only those projects subject to the provisions of section 5.05.08, trash enclosure walls or gates made of chain link or wood are not acceptable. F. Compactors. Multi-family DEVELOPMENTS may substitute garbage compactors for garbage dumpsters or curbside pickup to dispose of non-recyclable material with the following restrictions; for individually owned multi-family units (CONDOMINIUMS), compactor service may only be implemented by the developer prior to the sale of the first unit (subsequent to that time, a change from curbside or dumpster service to compactor service may only be achieved through a majority vote by the homeowner's association); for multi-family DEVELOPMENTS containing more than one STRUCTURE, the property owner may implement compactor service at any time, so long as the compactor has the capacity to accept an item of furniture having dimensions of up to three (3)by twelve (12) feet. CDS'"?t 3 G. Curbside pickup. The Utility Billing & Customer Service Director, or his designee, may approve curbside pickup in lieu of dumpsters or compactors for individually owned multi- family DEVELOPMENTS provided that the following criteria are met. Multi- family rental units must provide dumpsters or a compactor. CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENTS may substitute curbside pickup for dumpsters or compactors so long as satisfactory documentation is presented to the Utility Billing & Customer Service Department that: 1. The subject CONDOMINIUM association has voted in the majority to eliminate the use of dumpsters or compactors in favor of curbside pickup for all or part of the DEVELOPMENT, 2. There is adequate ACCESS to facilitate curbside pickup, and 3. All individual units have an enclosed location other than the residential STRUCTURE, such as a carport or garage, for the storage of individual SOLID WASTE containers. H. Non-Compliance. In the event that an existing property owner experiences a Substantial Hardship, as defined in Ordinance No. 2004-XX, Section 5(DD), or if due to specific site conditions Ordinance No. 2004-XX, Section 17(B), is unable to conform with the provisions contained herein, the property owner, or his designee, shall complete and submit an application for an administrative variance pursuant to Ordinance No. 2004-XX, Section 17(A) and(B). The process for requesting an administrative variance shall be as follows: 1. Complete an administrative variance form, which is available from the Utility Billing & Customer Service Department, at the Utility Billing & Customer Service office, or by downloading the form from the County Website (www.colliergov.net). 2. Deliver the form to the Utility Billing & Customer Service Department along with all requested information. 3. Within five business days of receiving the administrative variance form, the Utility Billing & Customer Service DepaLtrnent, as designated by the County Manager, will contact the property owner, or his designee to review the administrative variance request. 4. The Utility Billing & Customer Service Department and the property owner, or his designee shall jointly develop a solution that complies with Ordinance No. 2004-XX and meets the intent of this section 5.03.04 of the Collier County Land Development Code. 5. If the Utility Billing & Customer Service Department and the property owner, or his designee, are unable to resolve the conflict, the property owner, or his designee shall request a Variance in accordance with Section 9.04.00 of the Collier County Land Development Code. �� J ORIGIN: Community Development &Environmental Services Division AUTHOR: Carolina Valera,Urban Design Planner, Architectural Standards Review Committee DEPARTMENT: Zoning and Land Development Review LDC PAGE (S): LDC2:264-313 LDC SECTION: old LDC Division 2.8. Architectural and Site Design Standards and UDC 5.05.08. CHANGE: This is comprehensive rewrite of the entire Division/Section. REASON: This is the first comprehensive review of this Division/Section, since its adoption in 1996. Changes include: reorganization, to make it more user- friendly, including transferring regulations related to landscaping,parking, and fencing to the appropriate sections of the LDC; providing for more flexibility in implementing the standards by expanding application of the administrative approval of deviations from specific standards; adding new ,.1 standards in place of requirements that proved to be ineffective in achieving stated purpose and intent of the standards; adding new standards to respond to new development pressures that result in taller buildings and multi-story garages;proposing separate standards for specific building types; and house keeping changes to clarify existing language, and eliminate discrepancies.

OTHER NOTES: This amendment is proposed to replace the current architectural design standards Division/Section and therefore the current LDC language is not included herein with the usual strikethroughs. This would be unnecessarily cumbersome. Also, all of the cross- references throughout the Code to specific sections within the Architectural standards will have to be modified to comport with this rewrite. Susan Murray requested various changes to the document, which are highlighted throughout. Amend the UDC as follows: SECTION 5.05.08 ARCHITECTURAL AND SITE DESIGN STANDARDS TABLE OF CONTENTS: A.

Purpose and Intent. 1. The purpose of these standards is to supplement existing development criteria in order to complement, enhance and enrich the urban fabric of Collier County with an abundant variety of Architecture. The development of a positive, progressive ~ and attractive community image and sense of place is vital to the economic health and vitality of Collier County. 2. Among the recurring details that are present in the architecture of Collier County are elements of Mediterranean design employing sloped barrel tile roofs, arcades and stucco; Old Florida design with wide verandas, metal roofs and lap siding; Modern International; and various traditional historic references to Colonial, Bermuda and Island forms. While architectural embellishments are not discouraged, emphasis on scale, massing, form-function relationships, and relationship of the building or buildings to the site and surrounding context is strongly encouraged. Recognition of the environment and climate present in Collier County must be evident in the architecture. Gratuitous decoration applied to the building is strongly discouraged. 3. These standards and guidelines are intended to result in a comprehensive plan for building design and site development consistent with the goals, policies and objectives of the Collier County Growth Management Plan ("GMP") and the purpose and intent of the Land Development Code ("LDC"). These regulations are intended to promote the use of crime prevention through site design principals, including visibility-site lines for law enforcement as well as the general public. B.Applicability. 1. Zoning Districts. Provisions of Section 5.05.08. Architectural and site design standards are applicable in the following zoning districts: a. Commercial zoning districts. b. Non-residential PUD districts, and non-residential components of any PUD district. c. Business park districts. d. Industrial districts when the following conditions are present: i. The project site is located on an arterial or collector road, as described by the Traffic Circulation Element of the GMP, or ii. The proposed building is located within 300 feet of a residentially zoned district. 2. Non-residential buildings and projects in any zoning district when the following conditions are met: rte, a. The project site is located on an arterial or collector road, as described by the Traffic Circulation Element of the GMP, or b. A proposed building is located within 300 feet of a residentially zoned district. 3. New buildings and projects. All new applicable buildings and projects must comply with the provisions of Section 5.05.08. 4. Renovations and redevelopment. a. Applicability. All applicable additions and renovations of a building or site must comply with Section 5.05.08. as follows: Provisions of Section 5.05.08. apply to any addition or renovation of an existing building or project, that will result in a change to the exterior of the building or site. The additions and renovations, including vehicular use area, must meet all standards contained in this Section of the Code. i. In the case of building façade renovation where such addition, renovation, or redevelopment exceeds 50 percent of the wall area of the existing facade, the entire façade must comply with the standards of Section 5.05.08. ii. In the case of an addition or renovation to, or redevelopment of, an existing building or project, where the cost of such addition, renovation, or redevelopment exceeds 50 percent of the assessed value of the existing structure(s), or 25 percent of the square footage of the existing structures, the existing building(s) and the site improvements must conform with the standards of Section 5.05.08. iii. The term "renovation" does not apply to repairs and maintenance of an existing building. iv. Repainting must comply with this Section's standards - specifically, Section 5.05.08 C.14. Materials and colors. 5. Discontinuance. a. Discontinuance. Discontinuance of buildings or projects that are subject to this Section are subject to the following, and not Section 9.03.02 F. of the LDC: i. Where the use of a structure ceases for any reason, except where government action impedes access to the premises, for a period in excess of 365 consecutive days, the provisions of Section 5.05.08 apply before re- occupancy. Compliance with this Section may require structural alterations. ii. The site design standards of this Section apply where the use of a structure ceases for any reason, except where governmental action impedes access to the premises for a period of more than 180 consecutive days. 6. Required site development or improvement plan. a. An applicant must submit architectural drawings and a site development plan or site improvement plan according to Section 10.02.03 Site Development Plans of this Code to comply with Section 5.05.08. This includes: floor plan of each proposed building, all elevations of each proposed building at a minimum of 1/8" scale, a color rendering, color paint chips, and roof color paint chip(s) or sample. �..� b. Architectural drawings must be signed and sealed by a licensed Architect, registered in the state of Florida as set forth in Chapter 481, of the Florida Statutes. C. Building design standards. 1. Purpose and intent. a. To maintain and enhance the attractiveness of the streetscape and the existing architectural design of the community, all buildings must have architectural features and patterns that provide visual interest from the perspective of the pedestrian, reduce building mass, recognize local character, and respond to site conditions. Facades must be designed to reduce the mass/scale and uniform monolithic appearance of large unadorned walls. Facades must provide, through the use of detail and scale, visual interest that is consistent with the community's identity and character. Articulation is accomplished by varying the building's mass, in height and width, so that it appears to be divided into distinct elements and details. 2. Building Facades. All facades of a building must be designed with consistent architectural style, detail and trim features. a. A "primary facade" is a façade that is in public view and faces a public or private street. When two facades or more of a building have street frontage, a maximum of two facades, facing the most prominent streets, will be considered primary facades. b. In case of buildings located on outparcels, and freestanding buildings within a unified plan of development, all exterior facades shall adhere to the requirements of this Section with respect to architectural design treatments for primary facades. (See Section 5.05.08 C.10. Outparcels and freestanding buildings within PUD and common ownership developments for additional design standards and the administrative deviation process). c. Buildings or projects located at the intersection of two or more arterial or collector roads shall include design features, such as corner towers, corner entrances, or other such features, to emphasize their location as gateways and transition points within the community. 3. Primary façade standards. r1 a. Building entrance. Buildings located along a public or private street must be designed with the main entrance clearly defined, and with convenient access from both parking and the street. b. Ground floor. Primary facades on the ground floor must have features along a minimum of 50 percent of their horizontal length. These features include, but are not limited to: arcades; display windows; entry areas; or other similar design elements. c. Design features. The design of primary facades must include, at a minimums two of the following design features: i. Glazing covering a minimum of 30 percent of the primary facade area, consisting of window and glazed door openings. ii. Projected or recessed covered public entry providing a minimum horizontal dimension of eight feet and a minimum area of 100 square feet. In addition, a minimum of 20 percent of the primary facade area must be devoted to windows and glazed door openings. iii. Covered walkway, or arcade (excluding canvas type) constructed with columns at least 12 inches wide, attached to the building, or located no more than 12 feet from the building. The structure must be permanent and its design must relate to the principal structure. The minimum width must be eight feet, with a total length measuring 60 percent of the length of the associated facade. 4. Facade/wall height transition elements. a. Purpose. The intent of this section is to ensure that the proposed buildings relate in mass and scale to the immediate streetscape and the adjacent built environment. b. Applicability. Transitional massing elements must be provided on proposed buildings that are twice the height or more of any existing building within 150 feet, as measured from the edge of the proposed building. c. Design standards. i. Transitional massing elements can be no more than 100 percent taller than the average height of the adjacent buildings, but no more than 30 feet, and no less than ten feet above the existing grade. ii. Transitional massing elements must be incorporated for a minimum of 60% of the length of the façade, which is in part or whole within the 150 feet of an existing building. iii. Transitional massing elements include, but are not limited to, wall plane changes, roofs, canopies, colonnades, balconies, other similar architectural features, with the minimum depth for projections and recesses relative to the building size, and must meet the following requirements: a) For buildings 40,000 square feet or larger in gross building area, projections and recesses must have a minimum depth of ten feet. b) For buildings between 20,000 and 39,999 square feet in gross building area, projections and recesses must have a minimum depth of eight feet. c) For buildings between 10,000 and 19,999 square feet in gross building area, projections and recesses must have a minimum depth of six feet. d) For buildings up to 9,999 square feet in gross building area, projections and recesses must have a minimum depth of four feet. 5. Variation in massing. A single, large, dominant building mass must be avoided. Changes in mass must be related to entrances, the integral structure and the organization of interior spaces and activities, and not merely for cosmetic effect. False fronts or parapets create insubstantial appearance and are discouraged. All facades, excluding courtyard area, shall be designed to employ the design treatments listed below. a. Projections and recesses. i. For buildings 40,000 square feet or larger in gross building area, a maximum length, or uninterrupted curve of any façade, at any point, must be 150 linear feet. Projections and recesses must have a minimum depth of ten feet within 150 linear feet limitation. ii. For buildings between 20,000 and 39,999 square feet in gross building area, a maximum length, or uninterrupted curve of any façade, at any point, must be 125 linear feet. Projections and recesses must have a minimum depth of eight feet within 125 linear feet limitation. iii. For buildings between 10,000 and 19,999 square feet in gross building area, a maximum length, or uninterrupted curve of any facade, at any point, must be 100 linear feet. Projections and recesses must have a minimum depth of six feet within 100 linear feet limitation. iv. For buildings between 5,000 and 9,999 square feet in gross building area, a maximum length, or uninterrupted curve of any facade, at any point, must be 75 linear feet. Projections and recesses must have a minimum depth of four feet within 75 linear feet limitation. v. For buildings less than 5,000 square feet in gross building area, a maximum length, or uninterrupted curve of any façade, at any point, must be 50 linear feet. Projections and recesses must have a minimum depth of three feet, and a minimum total width of 20 percent of the façade length. [Insert Illustration #1 here.] IStfli nc 4.9ariot%t- 4*-411641Noo.414b' Illustration 5.05.08 C.5.a. - 1 b. Wall plane changes. i. For buildings exceeding 5,000 square feet in gross building area, any facade with horizontal length exceeding 50 linear feet must incorporate wall plane projections or recesses having depth of at least three feet, with a single wall plane limited to no more than 60 percent of each affected facade. ii. If a building has a projection or recess of 40 feet or more, each is considered a separate facade, and must meet the above requirements for wall plane changes. [Insert Illustration#2 here. • r :tf bb Illustration 5.05.08 C.5.b. - 1 6. Project Standards. a. Building design treatments. Each façade of a building must have at least four of the following building design treatments: 91(:) i. Canopies, porticos, or porte-cocheres, integrated with the building's massing and stylet ii.

Decorative landscape planters or planting areas, a minimum of five feet wide, and areas for shaded seating consisting of a minimum of 100 square feet. ii. Integration of specialty pavers, or stamped concrete along the building perimeter walkway. This treatment must constitute a minimum of 60 percent of walkway area; iii. Water elements, a minimum of 100 square feet in area; or iv. Two accent or specimen trees, above the minimum landscape code requirements, for every 100 feet of the front facade and a minimum of two for the rest of the project with a minimum height of 18 feet at planting. v. Site sculptures. 7. Window standards. Windows must not be false or applied. Spandrel panels in curtain wall assembly are allowed but may not be included in the minimum glazing required for primary facade. 8. Overhead doors. a. Required screening. Overhead doors must not be located on the primary facades, unless sufficient screening is proposed. Sufficient screening is defined as a screening wall, with a minimum height of 90 percent of the overhead door height, or a landscape buffer achieving 75 percent opacity within one year. The placement and the length of these screening devices must block the view of the overhead doors from the street. b. Doors facing one another. Overhead doors facing one another may be treated as interior space,provided that: i. the buildings meet all other requirements of Section 5.05.08. of this code., ii. the distance between the doors facing one another is no greater than 50 feet; and iii. the view of the overhead doors is properly screened from the street. 9.

These elements must not consist solely of applied graphics orpaint. b. Blank wall areas. Blank, opaque wall areas must not exceed ten feet in vertical direction or 20 feet in the horizontal direction of any primary facade. For facades connected to a primary facade this applies to a minimum of 33 percent of the attached facades measured from the connection point. Control and expansion joints are considered blank wall area unless used as a decorative pattern and spaced at intervals of six feet or less. The depth of the relief and reveal work must be a minimum of 1/2 inch, and a minimum width of 1-V2 inch. 10. Outparcels and freestanding buildings within a PUD and common ownership developments. a. Purpose and intent. To provide unified architectural design and site planning for all on-site structures, and to provide for safe and convenient vehicular and pedestrian access and movement within the site. b. Primary facades. All exterior facades of freestanding structures, including structures located on outparcels, are considered primary facades, and must meet the requirements of this Section with respect to the architectural design treatment for primary facades — Section 5.05.08 C.3. Primary façade standards. c. Design standards. The design for freestanding buildings must employ architectural, site and landscaping design elements integrated with, and common to those used on the primary structure and its site. These common design elements must include colors, building materials, and landscaping associated with the main structure. All freestanding buildings mustprovide for vehicular and pedestrian inter-connection between adjacent outparcels or freestanding sites and the primary structure. d. Deviations/alternative compliance.
