G.

VI. New Business 3 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.
