five components.
• Chairman Hruby recommended AHAC members consider attending the 4/10 BCC meeting.
• Kim Grant explained that the BCC will consider the fiscal impact in the Board budgeting
process.
• Public Speaker, Pat Young, spoke regarding:
o Avalon School; stated it was commendable to talk affordable housing but need
to address schools and housing and the potential economic tsunami.
o 67% of students in the school district are economically needing. Read from
“Place Not Race”.
o Affordable Housing should be located throughout the County.
o Magnet schools and busing should be considered.
b. Update on the RFI for Housing that is Affordable on County Owned Lands

o Briefly reviewed the BCC 3/13 agenda item 11.C regarding the two county
owned properties of Bembridge and Manatee Park.
o Informed the committee the BCC voted to table until after all affordable
housing items from the Community Housing Plan had been reviewed (i.e. after
June 26, 2018 BCC meeting).
o The Demand Model and the definition of GAP Housing income at 140% AMI
was approved by the BCC February 2018.
• Dr. Carlos Portu distributed prepared material and provided it to the committee and
public present. This material was not made available prior to the meeting.
• Dr. Portu’s presentation included a review of that material which included data for the

saturation of lower cost homes already existing in the area, and that there are already
some developments in the area serving GAP households. He stated that Reflection
Lakes, Artesia, Eagle Lakes and others price points service GAP households. Dr. Portu
used data from the American Community Survey (ACS – Census) and the property
appraiser.
• Dr. Portu requests the grey Oaks site be revisited.

o The nature of market conditions in East Naples has always been an affordable
place to build.
• Public Speakers
o Suzanne Orschell commented:
On the large number of rental units coming into the area.
The six elementary schools were all Title I except for Calusa
New Habitat project going in near Greenway across from Fiddlers with
1,000 units.
Bembridge would be a great site for seniors
o Bernie Harris commented the area was saturated with affordable housing.
• Cormac Giblin informed the committee additional meetings to discussing the Manatee
Bembridge sites were being scheduled by Commissioners Taylor and Fiala.
• Sheryl Soukup requested that emails be sent announcing the meeting dates and times
once they had been scheduled.
• Dr. Portu requested this topic be placed on the May agenda once the additional
meetings had been completed so the meeting outcomes could be discussed further.

420.9076 Adoption of affordable housing incentive strategies; committees.—
(1) Each county or eligible municipality participating in the State Housing Initiatives Partnership
Program, including a municipality receiving program funds through the county, or an eligible
municipality must, within 12 months after the original adoption of the local housing assistance plan,
amend the plan to include local housing incentive strategies as defined in s. 420.9071(16).
(2) The governing board of a county or municipality shall appoint the members of the affordable
housing advisory committee. Pursuant to the terms of any interlocal agreement, a county and
municipality may create and jointly appoint an advisory committee. The local action adopted pursuant
to s. 420.9072 which creates the advisory committee and appoints the advisory committee members
must name at least 8 but not more than 11 committee members and specify their terms. The committee
must consist of one representative from at least six of the categories below:
(a) A citizen who is actively engaged in the residential home building industry in connection with
affordable housing.
(b) A citizen who is actively engaged in the banking or mortgage banking industry in connection with
affordable housing.
(c) A citizen who is a representative of those areas of labor actively engaged in home building in
connection with affordable housing.
(d) A citizen who is actively engaged as an advocate for low-income persons in connection with
affordable housing.
(e) A citizen who is actively engaged as a for-profit provider of affordable housing.
(f) A citizen who is actively engaged as a not-for-profit provider of affordable housing.
(g) A citizen who is actively engaged as a real estate professional in connection with affordable
housing.
(h) A citizen who actively serves on the local planning agency pursuant to s. 163.3174. If the local
planning agency is comprised of the governing board of the county or municipality, the governing board
may appoint a designee who is knowledgeable in the local planning process.
(i) A citizen who resides within the jurisdiction of the local governing body making the appointments.
(j) A citizen who represents employers within the jurisdiction.
(k) A citizen who represents essential services personnel, as defined in the local housing assistance
plan.
(3) All meetings of the advisory committee are public meetings, and all committee records are public
records. Staff, administrative, and facility support to the advisory committee shall be provided by the
appointing county or eligible municipality.
(4) Triennially, the advisory committee shall review the established policies and procedures,
ordinances, land development regulations, and adopted local government comprehensive plan of the
appointing local government and shall recommend specific actions or initiatives to encourage or
facilitate affordable housing while protecting the ability of the property to appreciate in value. The
recommendations may include the modification or repeal of existing policies, procedures, ordinances,
regulations, or plan provisions; the creation of exceptions applicable to affordable housing; or the
adoption of new policies, procedures, regulations, ordinances, or plan provisions, including
recommendations to amend the local government comprehensive plan and corresponding regulations,
ordinances, and other policies. At a minimum, each advisory committee shall submit a report to the
local governing body that includes recommendations on, and triennially thereafter evaluates the
implementation of, affordable housing incentives in the following areas:
(a) The processing of approvals of development orders or permits for affordable housing projects is
expedited to a greater degree than other projects, as provided in s. 163.3177(6)(f)3.
(b) The modification of impact-fee requirements, including reduction or waiver of fees and alternative
methods of fee payment for affordable housing.
(c) The allowance of flexibility in densities for affordable housing.
(d) The reservation of infrastructure capacity for housing for very-low-income persons, low-income
persons, and moderate-income persons.
(e) The allowance of affordable accessory residential units in residential zoning districts.
(f) The reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing.
(g) The allowance of flexible lot configurations, including zero-lot-line configurations for affordable
housing.
(h) The modification of street requirements for affordable housing.
(i) The establishment of a process by which a local government considers, before adoption, policies,
procedures, ordinances, regulations, or plan provisions that increase the cost of housing.
(j) The preparation of a printed inventory of locally owned public lands suitable for affordable housing.
(k) The support of development near transportation hubs and major employment centers and mixed-
use developments.
The advisory committee recommendations may also include other affordable housing incentives
identified by the advisory committee. Local governments that receive the minimum allocation under the
State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program shall perform the initial review but may elect to not
perform the triennial review.
(5) The approval by the advisory committee of its local housing incentive strategies recommendations
and its review of local government implementation of previously recommended strategies must be
made by affirmative vote of a majority of the membership of the advisory committee taken at a public
hearing. Notice of the time, date, and place of the public hearing of the advisory committee to adopt its
evaluation and final local housing incentive strategies recommendations must be published in a
newspaper of general paid circulation in the county. The notice must contain a short and concise
summary of the evaluation and local housing incentives strategies recommendations to be considered
by the advisory committee. The notice must state the public place where a copy of the evaluation and
tentative advisory committee recommendations can be obtained by interested persons. The final report,
evaluation, and recommendations shall be submitted to the corporation.
(6) Within 90 days after the date of receipt of the evaluation and local housing incentive strategies
recommendations from the advisory committee, the governing body of the appointing local government
shall adopt an amendment to its local housing assistance plan to incorporate the local housing incentive
strategies it will implement within its jurisdiction. The amendment must include, at a minimum, the local
housing incentive strategies required under s. 420.9071(16). The local government must consider the
strategies specified in paragraphs (4)(a)-(k) as recommended by the advisory committee.
(7) The governing board of the county or the eligible municipality shall notify the corporation by
certified mail of its adoption of an amendment of its local housing assistance plan to incorporate local
housing incentive strategies. The notice must include a copy of the approved amended plan.
(a) If the corporation fails to receive timely the approved amended local housing assistance plan to
incorporate local housing incentive strategies, a notice of termination of its share of the local housing
distribution shall be sent by certified mail by the corporation to the affected county or eligible
municipality. The notice of termination must specify a date of termination of the funding if the affected
county or eligible municipality has not adopted an amended local housing assistance plan to incorporate
local housing incentive strategies. If the county or the eligible municipality has not adopted an amended
local housing assistance plan to incorporate local housing incentive strategies by the termination date
specified in the notice of termination, the local distribution share terminates; and any uncommitted
local distribution funds held by the affected county or eligible municipality in its local housing assistance
trust fund shall be transferred to the Local Government Housing Trust Fund to the credit of the
corporation to administer the local government housing program.
(b) If a county fails to timely adopt an amended local housing assistance plan to incorporate local
housing incentive strategies but an eligible municipality receiving a local housing distribution pursuant
to an interlocal agreement within the county does timely adopt an amended local housing assistance
plan to incorporate local housing incentive strategies, the corporation, after issuance of a notice of
termination, shall thereafter distribute directly to the participating eligible municipality its share
calculated in the manner provided in s. 420.9073.
(c) Any county or eligible municipality whose local distribution share has been terminated may
subsequently elect to receive directly its local distribution share by adopting an amended local housing
assistance plan to incorporate local housing incentive strategies in the manner and according to the
procedure provided in this section and by adopting an ordinance in the manner required in s. 420.9072.

A Y Expedited Permitting –
The processing of
approvals of
development orders or
permits, as defined in
Sec. 163.3164(7) and
(8), F.S. for affordable
housing projects is
expedited to a greater
degree than other
projects (See Senate Bill
2011 – SB 176)
In accordance with F.S. 553.791(7)(9), no more than
30 business days after receipt of a permit application,
the local building official shall issue the requested
permit or provide a written notice to the permit
applicant identifying the specific plan features that do
not comply with the applicable codes, as well as the
specific code chapters and sections.
In 2010, the Growth Management Department refined
the building permit process and performance
measures, developing an expedited review procedure
for all building permits, not to exceed 5 business days
for one and two family dwelling permits, or 15
business days for any commercial permit application.
In 2012 the Board approved a staff augmentation
contract with a private provider to assist building
division staff during times of elevated permitting
requests. As a result of this updated process and a
staffing contract, all development projects are given
priority and developers in the community are aware of
the permit volume and review times through public
meetings.
The committee concluded that the current Expedited
Permitting process is sufficient and is adequately
expediting the review of development orders and
permits for affordable housing projects.
Maintain current incentive, plus NEW
(1) Expand scope of program to include expedited
review for multi-family, senior housing, and
Medicaid assisted housing permits using state
or federal funds receive the same 15 business
day priority within the existing approved Growth
Management Department procedures.
A Y Impact Fee Waivers or
Modifications – The
modification of impact-
fee requirements,
including reduction or
waiver of fees and
alternative methods of
fee payment for
affordable housing
Individuals or organizations constructing new
affordable housing units to benefit very low- and low-
income persons and households are eligible for the
deferral of impact fees per LDC Sec 74-401.
Collier County Resolution No. 2008-97, provided
Board of County Commissioner direction on
restricting the use of the remaining funds for deferral
of County Impact Fee for single family homeowners
who occupied affordable housing units. The County
had suspended the program for use with single family
development. On June 23, 2015 the BCC accepted a
recommendation to reinstate the impact fee deferral
program for single family residences, so it is now
available for single and multi family residences.
Maintain Current Incentive plus NEW:
(1) Explore options to establish a funding source.
Such fund may be used for future deferred impact
fees for owner occupied dwelling units.
(2) Extend future impact deferral to include Multi-
family, senior housing, and Medicaid assisted
housing.
(3) Explore options to be able to retain existing AH
units to prevent a decrease of AH units over time by
renewing or extending incentives, in exchange for
the AH unit remain affordable under the
requirements and obligations of AH agreements.
(4) Consider an impact fee reduction based on
locality of activity centers; must be accompanied by
determination of a funding source to cover the
reduction
(5) Consider increasing the length of the deferral
(currently 10 years) to maintain affordability of units
for a longer period of time
Implementation Requires: Further study and
analysis to develop firm parameters, followed by
LDC and ordinance changes.

Required to be Reviewed: Existing
and Recommended for Adoption at 12/8/2015 BCC Meeting without enhancements
A Y Density Flexibility –
The allowance of
flexibility in densities for
affordable housing
The developer may request increased density when
including a affordable housing in the proposed
development via the Affordable Housing Density
Bonus Program, codified by Ordinance No. 04-41, as
Land Development Code (LDC) 2.06.00 et seq, which
density bonus can only be granted by the
Commission and utilized by the Developer in
accordance with the strict limitations and applicability
of said provisions.
The County currently has processes and procedures
that allow for the Developers to have additional input
and feedback for projects, early in the process,
including a NIM meeting to allow for public
contribution and involvement, to be able to address
possible issues and/or concerns. This increases
certainty of the outcome.
Maintain current incentive plus NEW:
(1) Find a way for this to be coupled with the density
bands to incent more affordable housing in the
density bands
Implementation Requires: Further study and
analysis to develop firm parameters, followed by
LDC changes.
A Y Parking and Setbacks –
The reduction of parking
and setback
requirements for
affordable housing
The county has several procedures in place whereby
developers may request reduction of parking and
setback requirements for all uses, including affordable
housing.
In the case of redevelopment projects, deviations are
allowed when applied through the site development
plan (SDP) review. For projects that use a rezone
process such as a Planned Unit Development (PUD),
deviations are allowed as part of that process. In
addition, there are special deviations allowed within
the Immokalee Urban area that both reduce parking
and setbacks, many of which are administrative.
Besides the deviation process, certain variances
allowed. Staff has the ability to apply administrative
variances to certain thresholds and above staff
thresholds the standard variance process is available.
The County currently has an interim deviation
available for Immokalee.
Maintain current incentive
A Y Flexible Lot
Configurations – The
allowance of flexible lot
configurations, including
zero-lot-line
configurations for
affordable housing
Zero lot configuration allowed as use in PUD’s and as
Conditional Use elsewhere per 4.02.04 of the LDC
under cluster housing.
Maintain current incentive

6
Required to be Reviewed: Existing
and Recommended for Adoption at 12/8/2015 BCC Meeting without enhancements
A Y Street Requirements –
The modification of street
requirements for
affordable housing
Street requirements for affordable housing are
considered as deviations in the PUD approval
process and variances in the conventional zoning
process, on a case by case basis.
Cross-section widths can be modified by the County
Engineer administratively per 6.06.01.N of the LDC.
Maintain current incentive
A Y Oversight (Ongoing) –
The establishment of a
process by which a local
government considers,
before adoption, policies,
procedures, ordinances,
regulations, or plan
provisions that increase
the cost of housing
An ongoing process for review of local policies,
ordinances, regulations and plan provisions that
increase the cost of housing prior to their adoption is
in place. Collier County requires all items which have
the potential to increase the cost of housing to be
prepared and presented to the Collier County Board
of County Commissioners with the amount of the
increase or decrease mentioned in the executive
summary under fiscal impact. The County regularly
utilizes the existing entities and processes undertaken
by the AHAC, the Planning Commission, the
Development Services Advisory Committee to review
and examine impacts to the cost of housing.
Maintain current incentive, plus NEW
(1) On a case by case basis add a Fiscal Impact to
Affordable Housing section to specifically
discuss impact of cost on affordable housing
A Y Land Bank Inventory –
The preparation of a
printed inventory of
locally owned public
lands suitable for
affordable housing
Florida Statute 125.379, Disposition of County
property for affordable housing, requires the
preparation of a printed inventory of locally owned
public lands suitable for affordable housing. Collier
County has completed this process and maintains a
list of locally owned properties.
Resolution 2007-172 and Resolution 2010 -123
directs the use of surplus land and directs those funds
derived from the sale of such property be placed in
the Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
Maintain current incentive plus NEW:
(1) Broadening this to other public entities such as
the school system, the City of Naples and the City of
Marco Island
(2) Utilize the funds in the affordable housing trust
fund to consider purchase land suitable for
affordable housing.
Implementation requires: Confirmation of other
jurisdictions to participate, revision of Resolution to
revise uses of funds in the Affordable Housing Trust
Fund
A Y Proximity – The support
of development near
transportation hubs and
major employment
centers and mixed-use
developments (activity
centers and density
bands)
The County currently addresses this incentive through
additional density offered in designated density bands
and activity centers. It is noted that while this exists,
the development community has not advantaged this
for affordable housing.
Maintain current incentive plus NEW:
(1) Recommend further incentives to develop AH
units in specific locations throughout the County
that are located within Activity Centers and
Density Bands. (mention of less impact to
infrastructure, transportation…)
(2) Possibly layer more incentives into these areas
(3) Bolster the AHDB program in these areas
(4) Consider these incentives for those up to 120%
AMI with greater incentive levels for lower than
80% AMI
(5) Review compatibility of design to provide further
assurances to the Development Community
Implementation Requires: Further study and
analysis to develop firm parameters, followed by
LDC changes.
2015 Incentive Review and Recommendation Report

Required to be Reviewed: Not In Use
Not Recommended for Adoption at 12/8/2015 BCC Meeting
N Reservation of
Infrastructure – The
reservation of
infrastructure capacity for
housing for very-low
income persons, low
income persons, and
moderate income
persons
Not a current incentive. Do not adopt. See Additional Items for a
Potential Expansion.
N Accessory Dwelling
Units- The allowance of
affordable residential
units in residential zoning
districts
Not a current incentive.
The use of these units, sometimes referred to as
mother-in-law suites, already exists in the code under
the term “guest cottage”.
Deterrents include: Increases full time dwelling units
not included in density calculations (potentially
doubles density in neighborhoods), adds additional
impacts on infrastructure not previously allocated for
this additional density, rental units are regulated and
thus would increase regulatory costs to monitor,
regulatory fees associated with dwelling units have
not been collected (i.e.: impact fees).
The committee views this as having a low impact in
return for the effort to allow these additional dwelling
units that have not been planned for in the greater
community planning efforts that support our current
community.
Maintain current guest house code, only
2015 Incentive Review and Recommendation Report

Additional Items to be Considered at 2016 Proposed Workshop
Goal: More Units and Preserve Units
N NEW – Additional
Incentives for Elderly
Housing Units
The committee discussed several possible options for
new incentives in this arena.
NEW
(1) Any developer targeting 55 and over, gets
additional density for affordable units or
possibly reduced or deferred impact fees
(2) At senior living facilities, any request for
additional beds above the base .45 FAR would
require a certain percentage of affordable beds
Implementation Requires: Further study and
analysis to develop firm parameters, followed by
GMP and LDC changes.
N NEW – Require a
certain level of
affordable housing in
all new developments
that previously would
have been covered
under Development of
Regional Impact (DRI)
regulations
The committee discussed the Rural Lands West
development currently underway as an example of a
large volume of housing stock being developed with
no current plans for affordable housing.
With the changes to the DRI (Developments of
Regional Impact) regulations at the state level, some
large projects will not have to address the housing
issues previously required by state DRI review. The
committee discussed the need to assure that
affordable housing is a required component of all
large projects.
NEW
(1) The committee recommends further study and
analysis
Implementation Requires: Further study and
analysis to develop methods and options, followed
by creation of an implementation plan.
N NEW: Preservation of
Existing Affordable
Housing – The
establishment of efforts
to preserve or elongate
timeframes for units
designated as affordable
in order to reduce the
need for additional units
to come on-line
Most owned units designated as affordable have up
to a 15 year affordability period. This is
recommended to be maintained.
This could take on the form of extending the term of
affordability for future rental units beyond the typical
15 years to a 30 year term.
This could also take on the form of funds or programs
to rehabilitate or otherwise develop affordable
housing already in the housing stock.
NEW
(1) Extend the period of affordability to 30 years for
all new affordable rental
(2) Extend the term of impact fee deferrals beyond
the 10 years if the unit remains affordable, and
pay the impact fee from the affordable housing
trust fund
(3) Direct funds from the AHTF to pay for
rehabilitation of existing affordable housing
stock
Implementation Requires: Further study and
analysis to develop firm parameters, followed by
GMP and LDC changes.
N NEW – Sustain levels
of affordable housing
in existing CRA’s
The committee discussed the potential to partner with
the CRA’s on redevelopment in order to avoid
displacement of affordable housing.
NEW
(1) Find ways to partner with the CRA’s to
incentivize more affordable workforce housing
in the CRA’s
(2) Consider leveraging of future TIF funds with
other available funding sources such as grants
or the affordable housing trust fund
Implementation Requires: Further study and
analysis to develop methods and options, followed
by creation of an implementation plan.
2015 Incentive Review and Recommendation Report
9
Additional Items to be Considered at 2016 Proposed Workshop
Goal: More Units and Preserve Units
N NEW - Sustain levels of
mobile home housing
The committee also discussed the issue of mobile
homes in our community as a viable source of
affordable housing, and the need for a method to
allow replacement units and other upgrades under the
current code. It is the committees understanding that
the Growth Management Department is currently
pursuing such alternatives.
NEW
(1) Support existing work to find ways to support
redevelopment and/or replacement of sub-
standard mobile home housing in the
community; specifically to establish a set of
standards to enhance or support mobile home
preservation.
N NEW – Transfer
Development Rights
(TDR) for affordable
workforce housing
The committee discussed the option to provide for
enhanced Transfer Development Rights when
affordable housing in general or specifically for the
elderly is to be constructed. One option may be to
allow for additional units for the same price, if the
additional units are affordable.
NEW
(1) The committee recommends the County pursue
further study to develop a rationally supported
basis for enhanced TDR’s for the purpose of
affordable workforce housing. Specifically a
tiered scale is recommended similar to that in
the affordable housing density bonus program.
Implementation Requires: Further study and
analysis to develop firm parameters, followed by
implementation.
N NEW – Assist all
essential services
personnel by reducing
non-housing costs
The committee discussed that those employed as
essential services personnel in the community are the
target market for the affordable workforce housing.
Many employers currently provide some form of
subsidy such as supplying affordable housing,
subsidizing day care, paying a portion of
transportation costs.
NEW
(1) During the approval process for new
construction where essential services personnel
will be employed, require a form of subsidy from
the employer.
Implementation Requires: Further study and
analysis to develop firm parameters, followed by
approval.
N NEW - Reservation of
Infrastructure – The
reservation of
infrastructure capacity for
housing for very-low
income persons, low
income persons, and
moderate income
persons; utilize
TCMA/TCEA mitigation
opportunities to further
AH objectives
The committee identified an opportunity to link
affordable housing to transportation concurrency
exception and management areas (TCMA and
TCEA). For example, if there is a failed road system
based on the concurrency review, the
applicant/developer may mitigate such failure by
taking action that positively impacts the cost of
affordable housing or defrays others costs incurred.
Such options may include an employer providing bus
passes to employees, for example.
NEW
(1) As such developments come through the
process, seek mitigation strategies that further
the objectives of providing housing that is
affordable to the residents of the County.
Implementation requires: Staff and planning
commission working with applicants to identify
valuable and palatable options to present to the
Board.
2015 Incentive Review and Recommendation Report

Additional Items to be Considered at 2016 Proposed Workshop
Goal: More Units and Preserve Units
N NEW – Inclusionary
Zoning – require a
certain percentage of
affordable workforce
housing with all new
residential
developments, with
mitigation options
The committee and the community are split on this
option. Most would only consider this if there were
also an “in lieu of” option such as a payment to the
affordable housing trust fund, or an option to build
units in another location. Others felt this was the only
way to ensure affordable workforce units are built.
After further discussion, the committee recommends
this option be further studied for its’ financial and
economic impact to determine real benefit. It is
recognized that there is only a small percentage of
land still available for building in the County, and
there is concern over inappropriate concentration as
an outcome.
The committee discussed the option to add an
additional requirement to require inclusionary zoning
in density bands and activity centers.
NEW
(1) Prior to making a determination, study the
economic impact of placement or mitigation of
affordable units to determine whether benefits
are substantial enough to warrant
implementation and administration.
(2) Consider this for encouragement of GAP
housing (80-150% AMI)
If considered, Implementation Requires: Further
study and analysis to develop economic impact as
well as firm parameters, possibly followed by GMP
and LDC changes.
N NEW – Micro Housing –
Create local
development codes to
suit small single family
units
The committee sees the appeal of this option, though
it raises significant concerns in terms of impact to the
infrastructure of the community. Significant research
and work would be required to assess all changes in
current codes, fees, etc. even to assess feasibility.
This type of housing could suit young professionals,
seasonal workers, and possibly young couples with
no children.
NEW
(1) Study full impact and effects of allowing for
smaller units, including but not limited to LDC
and GMP impacts, impact fee impacts, and
future land use element impacts.
Implementation Requires: Further study and
analysis to develop firm parameters, followed by
GMP and LDC changes.
Goal: Less Development Cost
Y NEW (revisited) - Utilize
Funding from the
Affordable Housing
Trust Fund (AHTF) to
defray development
costs for affordable
workforce housing
Per Resolution 2007-203, the County does have an
affordable housing trust fund (AHTF) that could be
modified to recognize various revenue streams. The
Resolution provides for uses of the funds for Down
Payment assistance, Impact Fee Relief, Land
Acquisition, Construction Loans, Community Land
Trust, Homebuyer Education and Counseling,
Disaster Recovery and Mitigation, and administration.
The committee views the funds available in the AHTF
as a key ongoing element to sustain and further
develop affordable workforce units in the County.
NEW
(1) Once funding sources are determined, bring
forth a revised resolution that specifies funding
sources and uses of the funds for BCC approval
and implementation.
2015 Incentive Review and Recommendation Report
11
Options to Develop Steady Revenue Source(s) for Affordable
Housing Trust Fund to be Considered at 2016 Proposed Workshop
N NEW: Impact Fees for
AH – Designate a
specific impact fee for
use towards affordable
housing initiatives for
residential and
commercial
development, intended to
be in an amount similar
to a jail or library impact
fee
The committee considered the topic of an Impact Fee
for the express purpose of funding affordable housing
in Collier County. The committee, after receiving
public input, considers this a viable option to address
the on-going issue of meeting affordable workforce
housing needs in our community.
The overall goal is to establish a reliable, locally
managed, funding source for use to incent or develop
affordable workforce housing. The concept is to
spread out the economic impact for affordable
housing such that everyone pays a small amount
rather than some [developers] paying larger amounts
that may result if other incentives or programs were
implemented.
One appeal of this approach is that the local
government maintains control over spending plans
and therefore can be responsive to the current market
and other economic conditions. Impact fee revenue
would be placed in the affordable housing trust fund
and disbursed according to a BCC approved plan of
action.
NEW
(1) The committee recommends the County pursue
the requisite study to develop a rationally
supported impact fee for the purpose of
affordable workforce housing. It is recognized
this may be a lengthy process, but if adopted
could provide a long term and flexible solution
to the County
Implementation Requires: Further study and
analysis to develop firm parameters, followed by
adoption of the new impact fee.
N NEW – Dedicate
funding annually to the
Affordable Housing
Trust Fund, or generate
by other means
Not a current incentive, though via Resolution 2007-
203, the County does have an affordable housing
trust fund (AHTF).
The essence of this concept is to develop funding
streams for a dedicated fund with a local plan to fund
affordable workforce housing in some manner.
Mitigation buyouts of other required incentives is one
optional revenue stream; general funding is one,
impact fees dedicated to affordable housing is
another, increase or additional tourist tax is a
consideration; others can be developed. The local
government would establish rules and regulations as
to how the funding may be collected and allocation.
Some of the advantages are that this becomes all
local decision making and therefore can be market
and economic flexible.
NEW
(1) The committee, after receiving public input,
recommends pursuit of this option. The public
reaction to date was very strong in favor of this
option.
Implementation Requires: Further study and
analysis to develop methods and options, followed
by creation of an implementation plan.
N NEW: Linkage Fees –
Fees paid by new
commercial businesses
based on their specific
need for generation of
new affordable housing
As the County continues its efforts to recruit new
businesses, it could consider a linkage fee whereby
an assessment for each business would be made
based on the number of affordable units their
workforce would need.
This has the effect of employers having a part in the
solution set.
NEW
(1) Consider development of an affordable housing
linkage fee.
Implementation Requires: Further study and
analysis to develop firm parameters, followed by
adoption of the new impact fee.
2015 Incentive Review and Recommendation Report
12
Options to Develop Steady Revenue Source(s) for Affordable
Housing Trust Fund to be Considered at 2016 Proposed Workshop
N NEW – Target County
grant funds toward the
development or
preservation of
affordable housing as a
high priority
The committee recognizes the County receives and
distributes between $2M and $3M annually in
entitlement funding. The CHS staff is presently
beginning the planning process to develop a five year
plan for allocation priorities.
NEW
(1) The committee recommends that affordable
housing be identified as a high priority in the
plan, as long as the planning process supports
this.
(2) Consider specifying a percentage of grant funds
to be allocated for affordable workforce housing
Implementation Requires: Input to the planning
process showing the needs in the community, and
eventual BCC approval of the plan and priorities in
May or June 2016.
2015 Incentive Review and Recommendation Report
13
Not considered viable in, or applicable to our community at this time
N NEW – Discounted AH
GAP Impact Fees and a
GAP Housing Trust
Fund
Not a current incentive.
The committee considered the topic of a Discounted
Affordable Housing (GAP) Impact Fees and a GAP
Housing Fund for the purpose of assuring additional
Gap affordable housing is constructed in Collier
County. The essence of this concept is to tax higher
end real estate transactions, only, and use that
revenue to backfill the required impact fees; thereby
reducing the impact fee and increasing the profit to
the Gap housing developer.
Do not activate an incentive
The committee, after receiving public input, does not
recommend this incentive option. The public
reaction to date is a lack of interest or uncertainty
about the potential for this option.
