April 5, 2017
A. Regional Tournament Sports Facility update [Barry Williams]
Mr.Williams provided the update noting:
• The County has been marketing sports tourism over the past years and it is at a point they
cannot meet the current demand for events given the limitation of available playing fields.
• A study commissioned by the County was performed to identify sites that could be utilized to
construct a regional sports facility.
• Several sites were identified and after consideration,the City Gate parcel located in close
proximity to I75 exit 101 has been deemed the most viable site.
• The site would house a multi purpose sports facility,be funded by Tourist Development Tax
revenue and discussions are underway to determine the feasibility of increasing the tourist
tax rate from 4 to 5 percent.
• The item will be discussed at an upcoming TDC workshop and the BCC and super majority
vote by the BCC is required to increase the tax rate.
• The facility requires approximately 100 acres of land and the project is at the site specific
feasibility study phase.
B. Update on the Conservation Collier LDC Amendment [Jeremy Frantz]
Mr. Frantz provided the update noting:
• The proposed amendment will be heard by the Collier County Planning Commission(CCPC)
on April 20, 2017.
• The review is for the monetary donation aspect of the proposed amendment and not related to
the recent BCC decision to reactivate the land acquisition process.
• The goal is to present the item to the BCC before their summer break.
Some Committee Members expressed concern Committee's recommendation on the proposed
amendment was formulated on the premise the program was in a funding shortfall and now it
appears there is not a shortfall given they are restarting the land acquisition process.
Others noted it was their understanding the proposed amendment was to ensure the amount of the
funds provided for the land management endowment when lands are donated to the program was not
sufficient to maintain the parcel into"perpetuity."
Mr. Frantz reported he would provide an update to the Committee following the recommendation
by the CCPC.
C. NIMS Discussion [Mike Bosi]
Mr. Bosi presented a proposed amendment to the Administrative Code Chapter 8,Public Notice
noting:
• The amendment proposes to prohibit Neighborhood Information Meetings being held
between June 1 and August 30 of a calendar year.
• The requirement provides for an exemption if at least one-third of the owners in the
designated area are not seasonal residents, the meeting may be held during the prohibition
period.
• The proposed amendment will be heard by the BCC on April 25,2017 and he is looking for a
recommendation on the proposal from the DSAC.
The following was noted during Committee discussions:
4
April 5, 2017
• Clarification should be provided on how a"seasonal"resident will be defined.
• The proposal calls for a shutdown of the process for 1/3 of the year and would be a burden
on applicants who already have to navigate a difficult process during the application phase.
• The amendment appears to favor the adjacent landowner's rights over the property owner
filing the application.
• The meeting is only an informational meeting, one step in the process and there are other
public venues throughout the permit process where comments may be made and concerns
raised by adjacent landowners.
Mr. Mulhere moved to recommend the Board of County Commissioners not approve the proposed
amendment restricting the time of year a Neighborhood Informational Meeting may be held as it
is not a formal public hearing and there are ample means for those concerned to comment
throughout the process. Second by Mr. Valle. Carried unanimously 12- 0.
