4. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
a. Triennial Housing Incentive Review - Cormac told the group that every three years the group must
review a report regarding affordable housing incentives. Staff is currently working on the new report
for this year and plans to have everything ready to take it to the BCC in November. Joe Schmitt asked
Cormac if the word Impact Fee “Waiver” should be in the title of the incentive, and Cormac said the
language dictated from the State. Mary asked if the committee could have it a week before they have
the meeting to review it, so they will have plenty of time to read it. Cormac agreed that he would
have it to the members as early as possible in advance of the meeting.
b. Collier County Planning Communities Map – The map was discussed and reviewed to try to find a way
to define “East Naples”. This map has been in the comp plan for 25 years. David Weeks said it was
from the census tract originally.
c. Upcoming Housing Related Public Hearing Items – Cormac went over the public hearings that are
going to be held regarding affordable housing over the next few months. Joe Schmitt told the group
that Regal Acres was approved by the Planning Commission this past Thursday. Cormac said that Rural
Lands West was going to be about the same size as Ave Maria. Cormac mentioned that the BCC
meeting on October 9th will discuss the Housing Plan (3rd Phase).
d. Jason Rummer gave the group an update on the Quarterly Housing Data. According to NABOR,
inventory on available housing is down 20% from last year. He will come back to the next meeting
with new housing demand methodology.
5. PUBLIC COMMENT
There were no public speakers.

“Focus Group” Summary 4/4/18 Meeting
The group supports the development of a Community Housing Plan.
The following are the most pressing concerns about the potential impacts of
developing the Manatee site:
“Increased vehicle traffic”
“Increased demand on area schools”
“Lack of proximity to job centers and related transportation”
“Increases in the crime rate in the surrounding area”
“Displacing the development of a community park on the site”
“Concentrating more low to moderate income housing in the East
Naples area”
Other comments from the group:
“The project may not be needed”. The group believes that the market is
beginning to provide more diversely priced housing (the group cited some
examples).
“Issuing an Invitation to Negotiate is premature”. More study needs to be done
before initiating that step.
“Board consideration of the ITN in June is ill timed”. Discussion should be
delayed until the Fall (October) as many Fidler’s residents won’t be
here in June to participate.
“Dispersion”. You would like to see more efforts to develop housing that is
affordable in the eastern rural areas of the County and possibly North Naples.
Two Additional Comments:
1)…substantively the factor that deserves the
highest weighting is the need for studies of the
impact of the proposed Manatee plan on the
schools,traffic,public transit,jobs,etc.is
paramount before any further steps are taken.There is
no need to create momentum for a plan that might end
up being determined to be ill conceived by the
engineers conducting the studies.
2)…the unfairness of depriving the residents
of Manatee and Roost Roads of the Park to
which they are entitled,and of imposing on them
the substantial burdens on their already overcrowded
schools and two lane streets by the imposition of
hundreds of additional housing units and perhaps
thousands of children and automobiles.

Incentive Description
Incentives and AHAC Review Comments AHAC Recommendation
1 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.
The County’s Growth Management Department
reviews and refines the building permit process
with input from the Development Services
Advisory Committee (DSAC) and the public. In
2012 the Board approved a staff augmentation
contract with a private provider to assist building
division staff during times of elevated permitting
requests.
The Community Housing Plan, developed by
AHAC and the Stakeholders Committee, and
approved by the BCC on October 25, 2017,
included new recommendations to improve the
existing Expedited Permitting process.
Current incentive status
(1) On February 27, 2018, the Board of
County Commissioners approved Resolution
2018-40 to improve the Expedited
Development Review process based upon
the Stakeholder Committee and AHAC
recommendations.
(2) Enhanced Expedited Permitting (Fast
Tracking) has been implemented with
affordable housing developers having
successfully utilized the improved process.
2 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, low
and moderate-income persons and households
are eligible for the deferral of impact fees per LDC
Sec 74-401.
Impact Fee deferrals or waivers have historically
been allowed since 1993. However, Resolution
No. 2008-97, restricted the use of the remaining
funds for deferral of County Impact Fee
suspending the program for single family, owner-
occupied affordable housing developments.
On June 23, 2015, the BCC accepted a
recommendation to reinstate the impact fee
deferral program for single family residences.
The 2017 Community Housing Plan (CHP)
recommended improvements to the Impact Fee
Deferral program which the Board adopted via
Ordinance 2018-28 on February 27, 2018.
Current incentive status
(1) Ordinance 2018-28 was adopted 2/27/18
to clarify and strengthen the Impact Fee
Deferral program
Future opportunities:
(1) Explore options to retain existing AH
units by renewing or extending existing
incentives, or creating new incentives, in
exchange for the AH unit remaining
affordable under the requirements and
obligations of AH agreements.
(2) Consider an impact fee reduction based
on affordable housing proximity to activity
centers/Strategic Opportunity Sites; or as
part of a mixed income/mixed use
development
(3) Consider increasing the length of the
deferral (currently 10 years) to maintain
affordability of units for a longer period.
3 Density Flexibility – The allowance
of flexibility in densities for affordable
housing
The developer may request increased density
when including 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.
Current incentive status
(1) County staff have prepared Growth
Management Plan and Land Development
Code changes to increase the affordable
housing density bonus to allow up to 12
additional units to the base density for a max
of 16 du/acre
3 | Page
During the development of the 2017 Community
Housing Plan, AHAC and the Stakeholders
Committee reviewed the existing program and
recommended increasing the maximum allowed
density bonus. The Board of County
Commissioners agreed to the proposed changes
on February 27, 2018.
(2) Changes to the Growth Management
Plan were approved by the BCC on 7/10/18
and transmitted to the State DEO in July
2018.
(3) Adoption & Implementation hearings to
the Land Development Code will occur in late
2018 and early 2019.
4 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.
Parking, setbacks and other cost-saving
infrastructure changes were reviewed during the
development and adoption of the Community
Housing Plan in 2016-2017.
Current incentive status
(1) The Community Housing Plan (CHP)
recommended that the “…County continue
to explore and refine the list of regulatory
relief items and present a full list to the
Board for approval through the applicable
LDC or GMP amendment cycles.”
(2) Recommendations to provide regulatory
relief, based upon Phase 3 of the
Community Housing Plan implementation,
will be provided to the County Commission
on October 9, 2018.
5 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.
In preparing the 2017 Community Housing Plan, it
was recommended that the County consider
amending the LDC to adopt some elements of
“smart code” after the completion of the four
geographic re-study areas.
Current incentive status
(1) The County Re-Study of four distinct
geographic areas is still under way. Future
flexibility may be provided as
recommendations make their way through
the Growth Management Plan (GMP) and
Land Development Code (LDC) amendment
process in 2019.
6 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.
As discussed in the Community Housing Plan
(CHP) process in 2016-2017, street requirements
could be addressed with Parking, Setback and
Flexible Lot Configuration review and possible
“Smart Code” future amendments to the LDC or
GMP.
Current incentive status
(1) The Community Housing Plan
recommended that the “…County continue to
explore and refine the list of regulatory relief
items and present a full list to the Board for
approval through the applicable LDC or GMP
amendment cycles.”
(2) Regulatory relief recommendations, as
part of Phase 3 of the CHP, will be presented
to the BCC on October 9, 2018
7 Ongoing Oversight – 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, and the Development Services
Current incentive status
(1) On a case by case basis add a Fiscal
Impact to Affordable Housing section to
specifically discuss impact of cost on housing
affordability.
4 | Page
Advisory Committee to review and examine
impacts on the cost of housing.
8 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.
In 2018, two parcels of County owned property
were included in a Request for Information (RFI)
for the development of housing that is affordable.
This process has continued with independent
review by a local firm, formation of a joint
subcommittee, an future Board direction
anticipated in late 2018 and early 2019.
In addition, five (5) other county-owned parcels
were advertised for invitation for sealed bids for
affordable housing development. The results will
be presented to the County Commission later in
2018.
On February 27, 2018, the BCC adopted
Resolution 2018-39 to consider co-location of
affordable housing with future county public
facility land acquisition efforts.
Current incentive status
(1) Based upon a Community Housing Plan
recommendation, the BCC has directed
staff to proceed with establishing a
community land trust (CLT).
Future Opportunities:
(1) Encourage other public entities such as
the school district, the City of Naples
and the City of Marco Island, and area
Fire Districts, to look at their available
land for co-location of affordable housing
(2) Utilize funds in the affordable housing
trust fund to consider purchasing land
suitable for affordable housing.
(3) Encourage collaborative partnerships
among nonprofit and for-profit
businesses interested in addressing
housing affordability.
(4) Proceed with the creation of a
Community Land Trust and provide
initial County funding per 2017 CHP
recommendation.
(5) Continue initiatives on the two County
owned parcels (Bembridge & Manatee).
9 Proximity – The support of
development near transportation
hubs and major employment centers
and mixed-use developments (activity
centers, density bands and strategic
opportunity sites)
The County currently addresses this incentive
through additional density offered in designated
density bands and activity centers. It is noted that
while this opportunity exists, the development
community has not taken advantage of the
density for affordable housing.
This topic was also reviewed during the 2016-
2017 Community Housing Plan process. Specific
suggestions from the Stakeholders and AHAC
included “Strategic Opportunity Sites”, higher
densities in Activity Centers & Strategic
Opportunity Sites, and integration of bus routes
with affordable housing locations, amongst others.
Current Incentive Status
(1) The concepts of Strategic Opportunity
Sites, increased density in Activity Centers
and Strategic Opportunity Sites, conversion
of commercial to residential, increased
density in Community Redevelopment
Agency acres, linking transportation and
affordable housing, and other concepts
remain under discussion with the Board of
County Commissioners.
10 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 as presently there is no
policy or need to reserve infrastructure for future
development in Collier County.
Incentive is not proposed for adoption.
11 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) -
The allowance of affordable
accessory residential units in
residential zoning districts
Not a current incentive. The use of these units,
sometimes referred to as mother-in-law suites,
granny flats or ADUs, is addressed in the County
code under the term “guest cottage”.
Maintain current guest house code.
Future opportunities:
(1) A development known as Rural Lands
West is proposing a pilot program for ADUs.
(2) At a later date, research the Palm Beach
County pilot program for “cottage homes”
5 | Page
The Collier County Board of County Commissioners invited the Urban Land Institute (ULI) to come to
Collier County in early 2017 to assist in the development of a community-wide approach to address
the housing affordability challenges. The Urban Land Institute Advisory Services Panel spent a week in
Collier County to study housing affordability and provide recommendations. The final ULI Panel Report
included 35 specific recommendations to assist in addressing the housing affordability challenges. The
Collier County Board of County Commissioners provided direction to staff to explore 27 of the 35
recommendations.
The outcome of the work by the Stakeholders Committee, Affordable Housing Advisory Committee,
and staff was the acceptance of the Collier County Community Housing Plan - October 25, 2017. The
Community Housing Plan (CHP) includes a multitude of recommendations that have been brought back
to the BCC and the community for direction in three phases – February 27, 2018, April 24, 2018 and
October 9, 2018.
The Community Housing Plan, the SHIP LHAP and the HUD 5-Year Consolidated Plan will continue to
guide Collier County’s efforts to address housing affordability in the coming years.
The Community Housing Plan – October 25, 2017 is attached as an exhibit to the 2018 SHIP Triennial
Report.
