DESIGNATING OCTOBER 20, 2018 AS DOMESTIC VIO ENCE AWARENESS MONTH IN COLLIER COUNTY. ~6 EPTED BY LINDA OBERHAUS, CHIEF EXE, O irI\ljE OFFICER, SHELTER FOR ABUSED WOMAN & CMl ~D~N AND COLLIER COUNTY SHERIFF KEVIN ~JBOSK -ADOPTED MR. OCHS: Item 4 B is a proclamation designating October 2018 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Collier County. To be accepted by Linda Oberhaus, CEO of the Shelter for Abused Women Page 9 October 9, 2018 and Children; and Collier County Sheriff, Kevin Rambosk. If you'd please step forward . (Applause.) MR. OCHS: Right on cue, Kevin. COMMISSIONER FIALA: You deserve it, by the way. ~ MS. OBERHAUS: Good morning, Commissioners. Fort ,~ record, my name is Linda Oberhaus. I'm the CEO at the Shelt €E for Abused Women and Children and, I just want to thank yo f OF acknowledging October as National Domestic Violence Month. It's going to be a busy year for the shelter. W e'r e hoping to break ground on a new shelter facility in Immokalee t 0 serve both victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. H ;w ill be a 32-bed shelter, 21,000 square feet. And, again, we'r; h @pin t o break ground this season. ~ Let's see. So October we're d(l)in g a lot of events, awareness raising events, and we're going to oe· doing a flash mob at Mercato. For anyone in the comm ni zy o would like to learn the dance, you can go to the shelter's weo site at Naplesshelter.org. We have a Next Gen event that's going to be happening this Friday at Bayfron Inn for all of the young professionals who would like to come out an h elp us raise both funds and awareness, and then we end the mont in Immokalee with a children's peace fair. And s@ I w ould just encourage members of the community to, again, Y]sit ou r website to find out the dates of the events, and join us if they can. One final thought is that as it relates to domestic violence, one of the things that we track is the number of calls to 911. And what was really noticeable this year --because we map it out. It's a collaboration with the Collier County Sheriffs Office, Marco Island PD, and Naples PD . And we've had an increase in about 200 calls to 911 over the prior Page 10 October 9, 2018 year. I don't know if this is a result of the "Me too" movement or maybe the fact that people are more comfortable calling to get the help they need or if domestic violence is actually on the rise. But we know that local law enforcement, they're spending a fair amount of their on-duty police time, I think about 29 percent,,, '\ ~ responding to domestic violence calls. ~ So although the Shelter for Abused Women and Chil 'r en --you know, we continue to, you know, work with victims to he lp keep them safe and hold perpetrators accountable, there's still n:i:u ch, much more work to do.

PRESENTATION OF THE COLLIER COUNTY BUSINESS OF THE MONTH FOR OCTOBER 2018 TO THE IMMOKALEE FOUNDATION, INC.

ALSO IN ATTENDANCE IS BETHANY SA WYER REPRESENTING THE GREATER NAPLES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE -POWERPOINT PRESENTATION BY NOEMI PEREZ; ANNUAL REPORT REQUESTED BY ~ COMMISSIONERS ~ MR. OCHS: Item 5B is a presentation of the CollieE ~olllnty Business of the Month for October 2018 to the Immoka e Foundation. To be accepted by Noemi Perez, executive director; ib aur a Simmelink, development director; and Amber Barr, program se IVii ces director. Also participating this morning is Bethany Sa~er representing the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce. C, .-. Congratulations. • ~ MS. PEREZ: On behalf of th€ Imm0 kalee Foundation, we'd like to thank you for being recognized. It ·~ a great honor. Thank you, again, for allo w ing me some time to give you a little presentation on our new ~en e over at the Immokalee Foundation. The Immokalee F oun ation was established in 1991. Our founder, Parker Collier, eally believed that education was key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Within the Immokalee Foundation, our mission is to b ild p athways to success for the children. We have gr e t outcomes. We have 100 percent of our students graduate fn~m high school; 100 percent of them enroll into a post secon a~ i:J athway within six months of graduating; 84 percent gr elu ate from post secondary school. nd so while we have great outcomes, we also looked at a sho age of students tying together with their field of study as they graduate. And so 40 percent of those students are not working within their field of study. So not only do we take a look at how we looked internally at our Page 15 October 9, 2018 data, we also looked at the national trend, and we noticed that there was a disconnect as well with students who are --with what they're studying in college and then aligning with what employers need. So 66 percent of our graduates who enroll into post seconda~, over 25 percent of those drop out. The students who do graduate, 5 percent of those end up in what we call gray-collar jobs. And r aU , it doesn't equate to their level of education, 33 percent of those €Eluire (sic) bachelor's degree, and we saw that there was a significant rise in certification in associate degrees. ~ So in accepting the responsibility, even though · t is national trend and it is an issue nationally, we felt a nee, within tlie Foundation to do something; more importantly, because many of our students are first-generation college students, and they aQ rely on us, on our advocacy, on our counseling, on our .mentQr , and our parents to guide them. ~ So in addressing the problem e :aentified there are certain career pathways that are within outhwest Florida that will start to grow within the next few ~€ar'8. ~nd so, for us, identifying those careers that are high in de and, alongside providing career exploration and education within ou programs and also focusing on credentials to build those empl0 ability skills for students. So in identi fying' the four pathways, we looked at, number one, there's healthcare;, number two, there's businesses management; number thre , tilere's construction and engineering management; and then, our, eMucation. So we felt the need starting as early as sixth grade to begin to expQs@ our students to the different careers that are around. So by providing an after-school program for sixth through eighth grade, we hope to provide research and exploration within these four pathways, provide a summer STEM component that will build on reading and math skills, and by eighth grade our hope is that each eighth grader Page 16 October 9, 2018 will start to select their interest to go on into high school and explore furthermore. In high school, between ninth and tenth grade, they will continue to explore their pathway while we provide our career panels, our industry-focused field trips, and also providing our career counseling. We'll work on remediation to build up their math and reading skills so that they can enroll into career-based academies that are provided within the school that will also allow them to re eeiv~ certifications. In their junior and senior year, we hope that they will enroll in these dual academies and then continue to fu er explore, and also providing them job-skill training and i terns ips. Our students will graduate high school with one or more certifications in their field of study. They will then select t~keir pathway based on the career field. • We'll continue to support the f:l~ut-~ear university tradition if they choose to do so, and as post seconda students, we'll continue to provide the career counseling anti mentorship. But we knew we couldn' d@ this alone. We knew we had partners within that were specialized, and their feedback and guidance is very valuable to us. ✓ The partners that we have locally, just to name a few, is Immokalee Mitl< le S~hool, Immokalee High School, Immokalee Technical Colleg , FGCU, and other local businesses such as BCB Homes. Hut o only is it important for us and the partners within, it's also impo al}:tr to engage our mentors and our parents. We knew that we liaa: to build a strong foundation of trust within the parents because many of them do believe that the traditional four-year university pathway is success, and for some it is, but for others a technical and maybe even an associate's degree is just as successful. So by providing what we call parent cafes, having one-on-one Page 17 October 9, 2018 meetings with students, and providing the career education that they need to help their students make a selection, we will also bring in mentors to help utilize them and train them for that extra support, because we know that they are very vital to the success of our students. So we feel that by focusing on career exposure and helping t €ill find the information at a very early age, students will have the tools and resources to attain a satisfying professional career. Thank you for your time. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Don't go away . Don't go away. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: The Chairman wasn't 12a~1ng attention to his little talking board. I think -- COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Was I fi Ti st or Commissioner Saunders? C, .-. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: You're first. JO COMMISSIONER McDANl (r)emi, could you share with me just a brief excerpt of your ment or Hip program and the requisites there and how you're coming alon in achieving or having enough mentors. MS. PEREZ: That is a challenge for us. As you know, we're, you know, a rural co Nni about an hour away from, you know, Naples, and about O percent of our students right now are matched with a mentor We have o er --between middle and high school, we have a little over 300 s a ents in total. Right now we have about 130 students match:ea itll1 a mentor. The criteria for a mentor is that it's just supp0rt; an individual that will be there for the student to listen, to just tal to, to help just give guidance. You know, we don't look for mentors to have, you know, a bachelor's degree. It's more of sharing their experience with the students. So they do have to have a background screening with the Collier County district. But they meet with their students at least once a week Page 18 October 9, 2018 whether it's in our building or at school campus, so it varies between 45 minutes to about an hour. But it's very rewarding. A lot of the team at the Immokalee Foundation are mentors. I, myself, am a mentor. So it's just finding that time that's very rewarding. But it's very crucial, and it's very important, especially with this new initiative that we're taking on, that we have these mentors and that we haxr e he community communicate come together and help build our nex generation. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Isn't that one o f:t-H keys of the success for the students as they're coming through is li t they do, in fact, have a mentor and have that assistance? MS. PEREZ: It is. And many of our men or d follow the students, not only following the students seventli grade, but all the way through their post secondary and int~, ~u~ ow, their career, so it is a long-lasting relationship. ~ ~ COMMISSIONER McDANl1£:C . For the record, the call is out. If you have the time --that was a ea ding question. But if you have the time, it certainly would b a pTr e<e iated if you could assist with a mentorship program that we have over there. Thank you. MS. PEREZ: Yes of course. Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Saunders? COMMISS IONER SAUNDERS: Thank you. I have a couple questions and a ~ mment as well. MS. PE~Z: Oh, sorry. ,, OMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I think you said you have 300 stude ts here now. Is that pretty typically what you have on an annual bas·s? MS. PEREZ: Yes. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: And your funding --I assume that you do fundraising and that sort of thing. But how do you accomplish fundraising for your organization? Page 19 October 9, 2018 MS. PEREZ: We do. About 97 percent of our fundraising is private, so private donors. We also have our annual charity classic, which is, this year, November 9th, where we bring in a lot of the funding. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: And are there similar programs to this throughout Collier County, or is this kind of a uni e program for the county? MS. PEREZ: As far as we know, this is a unique pregram, and it is because of the different partners that we've brought to t\@ table to really specialize, you know, alongside with Dr. Patton, having her support in this as well. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Cha·rman, Commissioners, you know, occasionally w e ear of really interesting programs that are, I think, good for tp e ttir€ 0f the community, and this is one that strikes me as being .0 o 'B tne more important ones. And I'd like to suggest --I think it woMla be nice if you could give us an annual report. Come to the OQmrnission, maybe Mr. Ochs can set that up on an annual basis where you come and tell us what your events have -- MS. PEREZ: Of c0urse. COMMISS, <9NER SAUNDERS: --what your fundraising activities are, w hat y:,eur students are doing. I think this is an incredibly impressive pro~am. And I'm curious as to why there aren't other programs liJZ e t1Hs, and hopefully some are listening and will try to mimic hat y,ou're doing. I think this is really incredible work. So J' d like to suggest that we have an annual report from the Foundation, have them tell us what their successes are and what their plans are, and that will help get the word out as well at this end of the county. MS. PEREZ: Of course, thank you. We'd love to do that. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Thank you for what you're Page 20 October 9, 2018 doing. MS. PEREZ: Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Taylor? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I just made a quick calculation; 27 years ago. Immokale~ ~oundation is 27 years. ~ MS. PEREZ: Yes, 1t 1s. ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And at the time, 27 year a o, Immokalee Foundation, I remember, what, the riding horse. <J h, they have to be riding horses out there. ~, MS. PEREZ: That's right. '~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And what ~ou\~e done and the lives you've touched is short of remarkable. Anoy o have this initiative, which is --it's cutting-edge. And to bring children to the idea, and arents and society, that, you know what, you don't really need a c a ilege education. If you want to do something else, if you have tli e t1tlent, and if you have the support, you can do it, and you Garr ave a good life. It's what we need in ~ollie t County. It's just so exciting, because it ties the economic driving that we're trying to do, because you're preparing workforce for the future. MS. PEREZ : That's right. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And it's just --I'm so impressed with it. I read i . , read it page by page. MS. PE~Z: Thank you. ,, OMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Oh, yeah, yeah. Well done and well tho9 ght out, and congratulations. And I echo Commissioner Saunders' request to bring you back here on an annual basis. MS. PEREZ: Of course, thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank you for all your hard work. MS. PEREZ: Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Mr. Manager? Page 21 October 9, 2018 MR. OCHS: Yes, sir. Item #5C COMMISSIONER SOLIS ANNOUNCED THE FEATURED ARTIST OF THE MONTH-LYNDA FAY BRAUN CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I have been remiss in not bringing up the featured Artist of the Month, so I thought I would dot at ,,0w. MR. OCHS: Yes, sir. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: The Collier County; A is of the Month is Collier County resident Lynda Fay Braun. I ho p~ I p onounced that properly. Q Lynda's independent spirit combi @a w ith an affinity for nature led her to fine art photography. Thr on~H tne use of the camera and computer, Lynda seeks to capture t e Q'rder and chaos that she sees with the rhythmic flow of water, wind, and light. The pieces displayed · n n e lJ oardroom are from her upriver series of photographs taken while ayaking on the Imperial River. In addition to the Naples ai;€a, Lynda's art has been displayed in exhibitions throug out the United States. It's really wonderful. So thank you for tfi at. PU B b 6: COMMENTS ON GENERAL TOPICS NOT ON THE ClSIRB£NT OR FUTURE AGENDA MR. OCHS: Mr. Chairman, we move to Item 7 this morning, public comments on general topics not on the current or future agenda. MR. MILLER: Mr. Chairman, I have seven registered speakers Page 22 October 9, 2018 for public comment. Your first speaker is Trent Dunn. He has been ceded additional time from Jason Shook. If you will indicate you're here, Jason. MR. SHOOK: I am. MR. MILLER: Oh, there you are. Sorry. Alexander Popoff? (Raises hand.) MR. MILLER: JeffDeWood? (Raises hand.) MR. MILLER: And Susan Dunn? (Raises hand.) MR. MITCHELL: Mr. Dunn will have at@ al of 15 minutes and will be followed by Rae Ann Burton. MR. DUNN: Good morning, ap.d t ai'ru ;y ou, and I promise 15 minutes is far more than I need or w an wi h a microphone in my face. But my appreciation to those who o 'ed up and conceded (sic) their time. I wrote this out in m f initi a l andwriting thoughts, put it onto a Word document, did a one-and-a-half spacing; lost it. COMMISSIONER Mc ANIEL: Hit the wrong button. MR. DUNN: So you'll bear with me. We're going through draft one today. M 11am~ · s Trent Dunn. I've lived in Southwest Florida since 1991. When fi vst considered taking this opportunity to speak to you, somelio ol~ in my circle said, hey, but what about your job? That struck m e . I d 0)l 't think much about --by the way, I'm here to talk about ca alli is dispensaries. I've never thought of the implication of that before, but when I thought about it longer, what I really did was I considered my other job. When I'm not running the marketing department of a company here in Collier County, I'm at home with my wife who is an amazing Page 23 October 9, 2018 cancer warrior, and working with her on her ongoing battle with the dragon named cancer. Diagnosed just a few years ago, this lifelong nonsmoking vegetarian developed oral cancer with no markers present. After the initial fog from such a punctuating moment, we began the process e.f surgeries, radiation sessions, chemotherapy treatments in the d oz ,ns. The hours of surgery over the last three years are over 50, ana they continue to this day as we remain in stride running through this storm together. ~ In 2016 they had to remove a portion of the back 0 her tongue, and she had to relearn many of the basic sounds of s~eec' . In 201 7, when the cancer returned, it was determined that tli e next surgery would require the removal of her vocal chorcl s. In the time leading to that moment, we talked a lot, we laughe , ~ Gried, but with more intent than ever, or at least more than e knew possible. The voice that lived to sing, including worship bands at church and once did the National Anthe at a Boston Red Sox spring training game was being silenced. o oan no longer hear her voice, but I still do. There is still more to clo. While we are currently cancer free, the work to restore her · awli e still continues. Another surgery looms for us. Through@ t this -rocess, I've learned more about the medical process and all he tools at hand to continue beating back a dragon that doesn't kno tbe word "remission." ong my education, I've learned and, more importantly, witfiesseJi' the effects of widely and easily distributed narcotics made ava·la12l le to us at will. Whatever we wanted, we could get. It's a dramatic surgery. It has dramatic recovery processes. It's an incredibly infectious-ridden process. Anything we wanted, it was a phone call away. We went down that route for months. As we moved through all Page 24 October 9, 2018 the cycles of surgeries and treatments, we continued to work on nutrition and healing, but we were saddled by an ongoing sense of addiction. We continued to fight through this. All of my wife's feeding goes through a G tube in her stomach. She no longer eats or swallows. We thought we could do better than the formula the hospital gave R tll at was full of glucose and sugar, so we went and we bought a V1ta ix, and we found our own affordable items, and we comprised arr all organic, zero sugar, healthy fats diet that keeps her going tf)· the point where she has to try to lose weight every once in a wh1l , which is pretty good for a cancer patient. If she's going to run this course, we have to give 'her every advantage. When we started seeing dramatic signs of long-term opioid use, as well as considering the effects o ad cf ng addiction to her physical burdens, we turned, again, to a more natural and life-offering option. Without the benefits of me fl ic ~l cannabis, there's no doubt my wife's quality of life would be sahl dled with addiction and compounded with complications from t e ongoing dosages of these many, many Schedule 2 narcotics made freely available to us. By the way, we als0 grow our own wheat grass in our home. It's an all-natural, easi grown product with numerous benefits in our fight against t e dragon. We believe in finding natural options when it adds life to wlio e have. All w ' e :a sking for in this conversation and in this moment is local an af:ff6rdable access to the medicine we need. For some, not h N'ing l9 eal access to a dispensary might be a bit of a hurdle, but for most t e lack of a local dispensary is an unsealable wall. As you might sense by now, I would run through a wall for my warrior wife. If the cancerous patient was your loved one, you would run with me through the same wall. We will continue to run forward. And if a wall appears, we will continue to run through them. Page 25 October 9, 2018 There is no other choice for us, but there is a choice for you. You can be a wall, and you can make people like me run through you, or you can be a door to progress, to helping people find balance in their medical treatments. There's an opportunity here for us to exercise something may& new, a new concept. Maybe it's called a governing level of resR@msi Hle compassion. I would ask you to exercise the same level of res o sible compassion in your governing as we did in our voting. I thank you for your service to our community. I krio w the sacrifices you make of your time and your schedule w ith families, and I appreciate you. Thank you, and have a good day. (Applause.) MR. MILLER: Your next speake She will be followed by Garrett Beyrent. COMMISSIONER McDANl1£:C. We should take a break after that. MS. BURTON: Go 0a m om 1ng, Commissioners. My name is Rae Ann Burton. I live in olden Gate Estates off of Everglades and Oil Well. ✓ My concern · the increase of panther sightings and the killing of family pets and stoc , livestock becoming an almost daily occurrence since there's bee an increase in development. The E sta es is surrounded by Corkscrew Swamps on the northw est; torida panther, southeast. Each panther that needs a habitat oj about 10-mile radius. Male panther's don't share. ural Lands West is parallel on the west side of DeSoto Boulevard. Immokalee Road on the north . The panther preserve is south of this proposed development. Panthers are already using the area for hunting. May 27th a large panther was seen crossing DeSoto Boulevard, Page 26 October 9, 2018 29th A venue Northeast. It concerns me as I live off of 31st A venue Northeast and Everglades, the next street from DeSoto. Golden Gate Estates has a neighborhood website next door (sic). I found 27 sightings so far from 2017 to present day; 17 alone this year. That's 1.7 panthers per month, and I'm not sure I have all the sights reported. It's been reported this panther showed no fear p ~ humans. ~ September the 13th on 16th Northeast, the panther gp ab Bed a chicken while a homeowner sat in his yard. July 8th the panther came right up to a screened la ai on 16th street east of DeSoto. They've been spotted nea the '.Jive glades Elementary School on Panther Walk on 60th A "W en e Northeast off of Everglades. This is 4.3 8 miles from my home. Remember, 10-mile radius. Same area bears have been reporteo. A large male goat was killed and ~auied off October 7th off of 10th Street. It showed no fear of tHe owner. Another was seen roaming around his neighbor's , ouse in daytime on April 19th, one off the woods on the 16th Northe a st and Everglades around 3:20 p.m. That's when kids get off o f school buses. Homeowner stated that he's seen panthers every other week on 17th Street South~ast killing cats. Another post of February 28th, in two years he's see ei ght of them. None of them have collars. August tli e 20th, 2017, reported on next door, four developments on Immokalee/2 ~5 2 on the east side are causing the panthers to move 1nwa12 . , __ _ saw a panther over a year ago walking toward the Immokalee hich is now a development --comer of Immokalee Road and Miller Road. Fore st was just cleared. Events keep --permit eventual (sic) for a construction of an elementary school. I'm not against development, but it seems it's out of control. Uniqueness in Naples and wildlife in danger of becoming extinct, not Page 27 October 9, 2018 to mention the water aquifer. If this is not done, the uniqueness of rural Naples and wildlife will be replaced with sterile mass development, tightly packed houses. So I'm asking the commissioners and Growth Management to re-think the projects. Growth with moderation is best for tourists , trade (sic), the homeowners, the wildlife, and the environment. ~ It will preserve why the tourists came to Florida and wh e chose to live here, to see wildlife and the unique environments . Thank you for your time. ~ MR. MILLER: Your next speaker is Garrett Be~Fen t. He is your final speaker under public comment. MR. BEYRENT: Good morning, ladies an gentlemen. I want to thank, in particular, Commissioner Tayl0 for creating the innovation zone. I assumed it was you, lr-nt I Bo n't know for sure. COMMISSIONER TA YLO~: W e tJ:, this commission. MR. BEYRENT: But in anx ase1 , it's a great concept. The whole idea of going back into areas liM G,0mmissioner Taylor suggested we do and Burt Saunders mos re ~endy did and Donna Fiala did when she created the triangle quite a hile ago . And I just wanted t@ comment that Burt's idea recently of redoing the Golden Gate st etch out there of the Parkway, particularly the dilapidated ar~as --c1;S"we all know, the K-Mart moved out of that one shopping center. nd I talked to the managers of the Golden Gate Farmers at lcet, and Burt was there recently with his son. And they had t aao ou t of the trailer, and the funniest thing was is I was kind of do ing o~e-of my reverse things where I go in and I investigate different prl')j ect s. And I thought, this whole idea of the --that was created by Marshal Goodman and Georgia Hiller a while back, the concept of creating businesses through the accelerator program --and I thought, you know what, how about if I reverse the accelerator. I'll go out and Page 28 October 9, 2018 find places that are already doing little businesses and they're trying to build up their businesses. It just happened that Burt was there with his son, and Burt had a taco at the only --the only trailer out there that I thought we could do something with this guy here; Juan and his trailer. And sure enough, I thought, you know what, we'll get all the Golde Gate farmers market together, and we'll put them in that old K-,, aEt: shopping center, right in the middle, which is what they --):ear.sago they did that down Third Street, and that's got 60 vendors an it's down on Third Street in Olde Naples. And the other areas that have had --Mercato ougRt to have one. Maybe they don't yet. But the one --my favor· te is he one over at the Vanderbilt --Shoppes at Vanderbilt. That's done extremely well. And people think, well, you put a farmers market in tlie middle of a shopping center, it actually generate ~ --it's a li eat system that generates more businesses. A lot o tli:em: are just startup companies themselves. It seems to be working" So I thought maybe we con d move all of the farmers market into the middle of dilapidated -arl shopping center, and I'm giving that job to Burt. Is that okay? ~dy's got a job, right? This is tougher, though. ;.. ✓ In any case, thank you very much. COMMISS IONER SAUNDERS: I'll do a little shout out to the Golden Gate FaNners Market, and the vendor, that taco vendor there. Excellent f@ 0a, excellent farmers market. And you're absolutely right, that ~-1art area hopefully down the road will become sort of a city cente~ i · yrou will, for those types of activities. So it was good seeing you t ·ere. MR. BEYRENT: Thank you very much. Bye-bye. MR. OCHS: Mr. Chairman, we have a 10 a.m. time-certain, so I'm going to try to move around the agenda a little bit, if you don't mind.

MR. SUMMERS: Commissioners, good morning. Dan Summens, a· r ector of the Bureau of Emergency Services and Em eFge tje y Management. And I'm glad to be in front of you talking a60ut torms in the past, not storms in the present. And we'll certainly keep our friends and neighbors and our hearts and prayers here for the days to come for the Panhandle. I'll ask first if you have any questions. I think we've laid out for you a pretty good explanation in terms ofFEMA's post-Irma Page 30 October 9, 2018 requirements to retool our interlocal agreement and make that payment. We certainly could not have done the job that we did do without Dr. Patton's support, and her team was awesome. I have a couple of slides if you'd like. Just briefly, we've had an interlocal agreement that has served us well with the Collier schoo s for a number of years and met the FEMA requirements. Follow· t1 Hurricane Irma, FEMA in its infinite wisdom who quite fre g ently makes some amendments to its rules and went retroactiv ~ack to the east coast as well for Hurricane Matthew reimbursemen , g:etermined that school districts could not be a direct applicant fo reimbursement, meaning that it would have to be worked through tfi\~ eo nties as a . service. FEMA applauded our state statutes. 0u state statutes are quite clear that local emergency managers.can s 12nblic schools and universities for sheltering, but it does ot :provide sufficient legislative detail to allow the district to be a --tli ~ school district to be a direct applicant for FEMA reimburse , ent. FEMA supports thes -co ts. This is obviously in the emergency phase of our disaster. I expect 100 percent of these costs to be reimbursed. In order to al<e this payment, we certainly need to have this new interlocat agreement which, again, ties back to new FEMA ruling. Dr. Patton and her team have really stood up in their engagement with us an 0 u 1t helping to build a disaster-resilient community by bringing ad "ftional commitments, supplies, and resources, and a staffi ng 7 elmmitment to help us in a partnership arrangement with so e 0f our sheltering challenges. Just a quick look. Until I saw these numbers again, it was kind of absolutely phenomenal what got done during that period with 18,000 people sheltered. We used 27 of her buildings, 320 of her employees; 75,000 meals were served during the period we transported pre-event Page 31 October 9, 2018 and post-event 250, 260 some folks; we provided air-conditioned buses for temporary cooling stations. We had the janitorial services involved both pre-event, and that means helping to set up the shelter, operate the shelter, do the janitorial maintenance, and then certainly put the school back together ready tor operations again, and that included pet-friendly services. So a phenomenal job by everybody and a great opportunity to revisit our interlocal agreement and make sure that we're ready for the ne;xt one with FEMA. ~ '\,: Do you have any questions? , ~ MR. OCHS: Dan, do you want to talk about some of the resiliency efforts for our special-needs shelter? MR. SUMMERS: Absolutely. We are working closely with Dr. Patton. She is doing some substantial retQo ing in that generator at Palmetto Ridge. We had some proQ ems ~ith that device. We brought some backup equipment in, and it W,as a tough go. But she is retooling that generator with substantial o erhauling, very aggressive preventative maintenance rogram, and in her capital budget next year she has some plans to add generators to other campuses and also expand the generator cap ability that we have at Palmetto Ridge. So just an o tstanding level of commitment from Dr. Patton for facilities and sun , ort. She's found opportunities there for win-win. It's a good investment for her operations as well as a good investment for us in building .helter capability. So a lot going on and a lot to be tha~ [or t hat her team is so heavily engaged as a strong partner. ~Pl ~IRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Fiala? )" QOMMISSIONER FIALA: Yeah. Just a quick comment. You guys did a wonderful job, and I'm so glad you're here reporting that, because I don't think a lot of people knew that. So that was great. MR. SUMMERS: Thank you, ma'am. Page 32 October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'll move for approval. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Second. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: There's a motion and a second. All in favor, say aye.

OCHS: Mr. Chairman, ifwe might move now to Item 1 lC. i · a recommendation to approve the release of $250,000 from our Tou ·sm Division emergency advertising reserves to support an integrated marketing and promotion campaign to mitigate the future negative visitor impact of the red tide crisis in Collier County and make a finding that this action promotes tourism. Page 33 October 9, 2018 Mr. Wert will make a brief presentation. MR. WERT: Good morning, Commissioners. Jack Wert, for the record. Your tourism director. We presented to you as part of the agenda our overall plan here. The request is to move $250,000 from our emergency advertising~ reserve fund --this is the money that's set aside for these purpo @s -- much like we did and you helped us through post Hurricane fun with a similar move of funds. And so what we want to do is combine that $250 0 applied for two different grants with Visit Florida tha h a made red tide grant monies available. So we'll have abou t $50,0 00 from that source. $70,000 was actually on the consent ag enda today for a separate grant with Visit Florida. Q So we're going to leverage all of th0~e tl o Uars and put together an overall campaign that includes public r elations, that includes advertising through digital media, soc· al media to work with the media, the national media speci, cally, to kind of overcome this negative impression that we a e veally damaged terribly down here and there's constantly dead fis li and sea life on the beaches all the time, and, you know, you can't go to the beach. F ortunatelY., e have not had that situation. We have certainly had red tide. We'v e defiJ,ilftely had sea life on the beaches. There's a story today in the ne ~paper about the opportunity of putting some of our fishing capt a in s to work to actually clean up some of that, which I thi ·~ a gn~at idea. So w e want to put this plan together. I do have a few slides that I can go through, if that would help with your decision. But we are req esting that you recommend that we move those funds. And we can get to work as soon as --really, it's the scientists that are the experts here. We're going to certainly listen to them. You know we are monitoring our beach conditions every single Page 34 October 9, 2018 day on our website. There's a beach-conditions page that sometimes gets updated several times a day, gives people links to all of the mote marine FWC sites and so forth. And also --and this has really been helpful. We have beach cams up and down the coast. We've asked all of our partners who own t'fi:Qse beach cams to direct those so you can see people on the beach. f @tl can really see the activity that's going on. People in the water, p e ople on the beach. And in addition to that --and you'll find this also on that beach-conditions page, pictures that we're getting eveg,: d ay from visitors who are taking pictures on the beach of this pf>si ti ve activity. This is the stuff that people really believe. he~ w ant to see real-time pictures . They want to see pictures takz en y people who are actively in the destination and seeing this. So all of that combined togethe~, Wi e tni , we've got a good opportunity to mitigate the negative imH n ~ssion we have. We're really aiming to get people back here earl~ fi t season, and we want to make sure that that happens. I was just on the phon € this morning with the Lodging Association Board; heard f-r Q several hotels who are saying, you know, we're okay for now , out ifwe look at January, we're, you know, a little bit behind p ace. So we need to be cognizant of that and start this campaign · soo,R' as we can, and these dollars would certainly help us do that. I'll answ er, any questions you might have. ,, H ~I AN SOLIS: Commissioner Saunders? ~elJ½MISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman, thank you. e'll probably spend a little bit more time on Item 1 lB, but on you slides, I'd like to see the slides. I'd like to see what your red tide recovery campaign is, you know, fairly quickly, obviously, but I'd like to see what you're putting together there. MR. WERT: Sure. Okay. Let's see if I can get this to move. Page 35 October 9, 2018 So the current tactics that we've been using, first of all, we've been --I'm sorry. It jumped on me. We've been monitoring daily national media, whether it's broadcast, newspapers, whatever. We get a daily report of stories that have been written that mention red tide in Collier County. So we are on top of that. And whenever we see an inaccurate story, we are going to that media source and correcting them. They may not always do a retraction or anything, but a least we're on record that that wasn't quite right, and we are realI~ working closely with our local television stations. ~ If you notice in the morning now, they are reP.0rtin beach by beach who has red tide, who does not. That's el ml Because Marco Island, for instance and, you know, if you move rther south, they have not had a problem, certainly not like we've seen in Lee County and so forth. Our northern beaches, yes, we g~t them occasionally. But, anyway, we are working with lQeal media as well to get that word out. That beach-conditions page tnat I mentioned before is updated continuously. If our link is wtJrwri ng here, I can just bring this up quickly. Zscaler got me again. You can go to the beach --to that beach-conditions page and take a look. What --I wanted to show you those beach cams and so forth, but let's move ou. One of the Qther things we've been doing, we've worked through our adverti s1 g agency with a group of radio stations up north. They have ,,,giVJen u public service announcement time on their stations. You can see }le various markets that we're running this stuff in. Let me just pla~ o e of these spots for you. MR. MILLER: Jack, we're going to have to unmute that. MR. WERT: Can you unmute that? Here's my expert. Okay. Now we can play it. ( Commercial being played.) Page 36 "Headed to Naples and Marco Island, Florida, and worried about red tide? Don't be. For the latest information, go to the beach-conditions page at ParadiseCoast.com." MR. WERT: And this one. ( Commercial being played.) "Headed to Naples and Marco Island, Florida, and worried about red tide? Don't be. For the latest information, go to the beach-conditions page at ParadiseCoast.co October 9, 2018 MR. WERT: So that's the way that we'v een anl to, in northern markets, right now, tell people that, yo kno , we're in better condition that you might have seen. C, .-. (Commercial being played.) • ~ "So headed to Naples and Mar~o Island, Florida, and worried abo t ell tide?" MR. WERT: I'm sorry. T a i s really good, isn't it? Let me try this one. Okay. So the results have been great. We've been tracking our results, and you can see social edia Y ouTube videos that we've been playing online. The digita media are all delivering very good analytics. A lot of people are hearin~ nd seeing the advertising. So the plan i self --as I mentioned, we're really going to kind of leave it up 'o tbe scientists, the experts, to tell us when, pretty much, the c@ast · s olear, that we can be pretty confident that things are going to e nangp~ Frankly, I think this storm may help us a little bit, because I think ·t will move some of the cooler water from the Atlanta Ocean around the keys and get it into the Gulf, and that's that motion that we need to begin to cool down the Gulf of Mexico a little, and water temperature is one of those factors that red tide seems to be dependent upon. Page 37 October 9, 2018 We're going to also use --we've got that Stone Crab Festival coming up the end of this month. What a great opportunity to tell the world we're the Stone Crab Capital of the world. Look at the catch. We've got --come and enjoy the stone crab claws. The message is going to be "return to paradise." ~ ParadiseCoast.com is our website. All of those things point to GQm e back to paradise. Those grants --I've just highlighted those g· ant s from Visit Florida that we have already applied for. The 112,5Q Q is a five-county opportunity for us to work with Google to e the word out to really help bring people to Google, ask those que st io about beach conditions in our area in Southwest Florida. S@ w e'l Be working together with our northern neighbors on that. The $70,000 is strictly for Collier Coy ty . That grant will help go with the $250,000 that we are asking fo Ro . One of the things we're going t o o:tK hard on is getting stories placed about our fishing fleet, abo t t e restaurants we have; obviously, stone crab, shopping, and really supporting jobs in our community. It's really imr,0 nan to make sure we've got people working because for every 5 visitors we bring here, we support one additional tourism job. So jobs are hugely important. Overall, tho se campaign goals are that obviously we want to mitigate the n @gative perception. We want to reassure folks that they can come to ou area and enjoy what we have. We're going to work with those @it ieB' that have direct air service into Fort Myers, that's impnn ant, b a t also Fort Lauderdale and Miami and Punta Gorda. Those aipp orts feed people from those northern markets that we've bee using radio in. We're going to use the tactics that we know work well . Radio is certainly one now that we've discovered works very well for us. And "our beaches are open" is the message. "Return to paradise" is the call to action. Page 38 October 9, 2018 And in paid advertising, we're going to use a couple of different platforms that digital-media-wise have worked very well for us. Sojem is one that is a low-cost platform that we've used numerous times in other campaigns. We're going to allocate 60,000 in paid, but we've also negotiated an additional $30,000 in unpaid, in-kind additional valu€ that that buy will give us. About 1.1 million impressions we are ~ projecting there. USA Today, we know that that's a well-reported national publication. We think that will help us a lot, because the •~e got multiple platforms, not just print. They've got social an they've got digital as well. So we think that that will help us a g eat cleal. Adara is another digital platform; $45,000 e tf e going to allocate to them. One of the nice things about this is they seem to target people that are looking for last-minute booking 0~ @tfunities. So if we are talking in December through Adara to 12 e~ple who are thinking about vacation, this may change their per~eDti on, and they will go ahead and book that January or February tri t0 our area. And in paid social, this i tHings like Facebook live posts where we're actually out on the oeac shooting a live feed that people can see real time this is what the beach looks like. We did that after Irma, and I will tell you it made a huge difference. Immediately people could see our beaches w;ere cl c}at . It was time to come back to Florida's Paradise Coast. So about 20,000 we're allocating to that. Total @ l ~ ,000 of that 200,000 would go toward paid digital. ltli ba i\nce of it is in public relations. And you may know that w~ e0:nt is,a ct with one of the top PR firms based in New York, Lou a ond Group. They are really well connected, and one of their specialties is crisis management, crisis communications. And so they're going to help us overcome those negative stories. They're the ones that have been talking to the media directly and trying to change stories when they are not quite correct. Page 39 October 9, 2018 We're making arrangements now to bring a local chef to New York, highlight our fresh-from-the-Gulf seafood, get on some of the talk shows up in the northern markets. New York is a great place to launch any kind of a campaign, so we think that will work well. And while we're there, we're going to meet face to face with~ journalists in New York. We're going to do the same thing in CM:icago. Where they are, we're going to their office and talk to them dire etly so that we can give them the real current story about the red ti csle · ituation here. So we'll measure our effectiveness through all d i e @fl annels that we normally do use. The TDT, Tourist Develo~me ax collections, we're going to watch those closely. Those have o een staying up very nicely, and through this red tide situation,@ en tlie fact that our Ritz-Carlton was closed in the su11llll.er 0ntfis, we're still doing very well, and we are still setting records eaG n and every month. The average daily rate in hotels lias stayed up nicely. In fact, we are definitely leading our com e · ti w'e set of other destinations in average daily rate. So we measure that every month, and we'll be able to tell very quickly how tHis campaign is working. So overall, this is just a recap of the plan. The public relations totaling 75,000. ~ e direct advertising plan that we'll place through our advertising~gerrcy, Paradise Advertising, that's 175-. So that's the $250,000. Ana want to make sure you understand we've also negotiated an additional 65,000 that we aren't paying for that helps us contin e to get that message out. So §taff recommendation, obviously, is we would like you to app oYe moving those dollars to align in the Fund 196 that we can spena for these purposes. It was recommended by the Tourist Development Council on September the 24th; unanimous vote there. Those red tide grants from Visit Florida, I think, will help us a lot, and we'd like you to make a finding that this action does promote tourism. Page 40 October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Taylor? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes. You know, Jack, there's no question that this is a well-thought-out approach to spend this money, this emergency money. But I think what I would like to do is reserve my comme t s. S ·. if I approve this, if I agree to go forward, I'd like it to be --the eent ent of how we approach this and what we're trying to market be discussed under the strategic plan. Clearly, a quarter of a million right now is very imEortant, is very important. I'm a little concerned, a little concerned ah ou the direction. I think we could be much broader in our reach i terms of what we offer here in Collier County, and I'd like toG~tl1 at implemented in October, not next year. • ~ So with that, I'd like to make a moti on that we approve this move of $250,000, a quarter of a million, from the Tourist Division Advertising Reserve to allow thi s marketing and this emergency to go forward, and then to disc 1 e ~on tent of it would be under our strategic plan which, of co rse, we can't do right now because we've got a time-certain. ✓ COMMISS, <9NER FIALA: I'll second that motion. And I just want to ask one little question, and that is, is that Chef Asif from 21 Spices that's go ing with you to New York? MR. ~ER!f : That's correct. He's now a national hero. We've got to us € fi im 11 we can. ~Pl,A IRMAN SOLIS: There's a motion and second. Any other I just have a quick comment. I'd just like to point out that --and I didn't see anything in there about it, but I would just like to comment that we have a lot of --my firm has a lot of Page 41 October 9, 2018 European clients. This is actually in the news in Europe, and it was in the news when I was there. So I just hope that we are --and a lot of them are already making other plans and letting us know that they're making other plans. So I just hope that we attack it from that standpoint, too, that w e do have a lot of European visitors and Canadians as well that hav € been very concerned about it. ~ So, anyway, there's a motion and second. Any othe:G isoussion? (No response.) ~, CHAIRMAN SOLIS: All in favor, say aye. ~ ~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Aye. ~ ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye. • , CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Aye. (', ,_ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: .A~ . JO COMMISSIONER SAUNDB S : J\,ye. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Any o ~o S'ed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN SOLIS : Mr. Chairman, that takes us to your 10 a.m. time-certain item this morning. It's Item I IA on your agenda. This is a recommendation to direct staff to continue implementation of the Community Housing Plan specifically taking Page 42 October 9, 2018 action on six elements of the plan that will be presented here this morning by Mr. Giblin. MR. GIBLIN: Good morning, Commissioners. For the record, my name's Cormac Giblin. I'm your housing and grants development manager. I'm going to be joined today by Kim Grant. She's going o actually introduce the item to you with some background information. MS. GRANT: Good morning, Commissioners. Kim G ant , Director of Operations and Veteran Services. Before Cormac goes through the details of the si lio 9 sing plan recommendations that we have before you today, I wantecl to take just a moment to put them in context since it's been a littl wnile since we've been up here before you. First, I want to remind everyone that t-ll:1s is intended as a long-range plan that has engendered .a great d eal of community support. Many of the people in grou s aad organizations that have supported this plan are up here on t1 is s· ide. Now I'm going to take you 0a~k to 201 7, earlier 201 7. This is a chart you've all seen befoFe, a a it represented the recommendations of the Urban Land Institute tn at was a study that you had hired at that time. Now, they said i ~heir report there is no question that Collier County has a ho si ng affordability problem. It's not a crisis yet, but if housing is no ao dressed, the panel believes that it will become a crisis. The items here in green are the ones that the BCC directed staff to continue to M'O.Fk on, and the ones in red were not advanced. So, as direc,tea st Ff went and created a Community Housing Plan that was pr~se te~to the BCC in October of 201 7. The plan was accepted but no adopted. So since then, that means that we've been coming back to you ith groups of recommendations to get your agreement as to whether you want us to continue work or not. In February of 2018, we brought forth the foundational items such as a new definition of affordable housing. And the items in green here Page 43 October 9, 2018 got a "yes" vote, and they were all the items presented, and they all moved forward. The second group brought forward are ref erred to as enhancements. These were brought forth in May. And the ones in green moved forward. The one in bright red did not. ~ So through May the BCC had approved moving forward o · 16 recommendations and not moving forward on just one. So we want to talk now about what the impacts oft e de ~isions so far have been on the model that we've presented and G-reated in the housing plan. You will recognize this chart. This chart as a :V eloped at the direction of the BCC. You said as you bring fo mh recommendations, we want metrics. We want to know how many units you're going to produce, which helps us establish ou1 baseline for implementation and the success moving forward. ~ You'll be reminded that these are in categories: Increased density, increased certainty, Housing Trust f ·und, and so on. So the modeling show=e a if everything was accepted in the plan and everything went as planned, we would be able to create 1,265 units a year. Thus far, w.ith the decision not to move one of the items forward, the imn ct has been that the max number of units we can create is 1,215. So that brings us to what we're going to be talking with you about today. We'r e,a ling these transformational items. These are the ones that can r_ea iy make a dent in achieving the number of units outlined in the plan. So these six recommendations in yellow are what we'll be isoussing today with you. That leaves those that are shown up here in blue . There were several recommendations made as it relates to transportation. We understand that the Commission is looking at transportation. There's a workshop coming up, and there are other things being considered. So Page 44 October 9, 2018 our recommendation, that these be considered in the future along with transportation discussions. So Cormac is going to take you through all six of these transformational recommendations, but I'd like you to please keep in mind that just like the foundational and the enhancement groupings that we brought forward, today we're asking for your yes or no as t@ whether we continue. None of the recommendations today are ,ard recommendations with specific language recommended. 0 we're asking for your direction on each one of these as to whe li~F you want us to continue work and bring back the specifics fo :n ~o r evaluation and potentially eventual approval. Briefly, we're going to talk with you about a mixed-income housing incentive program, talk about some egulatory relief that could make it easier, faster, less expensive Jo get a:efgrdable housing development; a streamlined process fem cpmmercial to residential conversions. We'll also --Cormac itr go through with you creating some guidelines to get more housing in activity centers. He'll talk with you about a process to create oriteria for strategic opportunity sites, and then potentially increase tli e density in those; and then the last one is looking at increasing th density in the CRAs and along transit corridors. So what 1H be the impact potentially of your decisions today? What's at stake today? Today's recommendations make up a thousand units out o~tfi e 1,200 units, and they're in three major categories: Increasecl d ,nsity, increase certainty, and the mixed-income housing pr0gFam. So the moral of the story today is as you make decisions about whether you're going to have us move forward on these or not, these recommendations have the most significant impact on the ability to change the course for housing affordability in our community. With that, I'll tum it over to Cormac to go through the Page 45 October 9, 2018 recommendations with you. MR. GIBLIN: Thank you, Kim. Again, for the record, my name is Cormac Giblin. I'm your Manager of Housing and Grant Development. The first recommendation we'll be going through today is ca led the mixed-income housing incentive program. The purpose oftn is i to provide market incentives for the inclusion of housing tha t-s affordable in all new developments. To get a few things out of the way up front, we undersfrtand this is not necessarily popular with all developers and regula o s. We recognize that it's a solid and increasingly utiliz~d mechanism to develop a new housing stock in a growing area · n pro ortion to the influx of new residents. We're asking for your consideratio in earing where we're going and seek approval to keep working 0n tn1~ to bring back to you specific regulatory changes to create or ena&le such a program. One thing I'll mention, and 1'11 , ention it right at the front. In your agenda today there is no 'r ft GMP or LDC language. There are no draft ordinances . Ther are no draft resolutions. There's no draft language of any kind. 11 tli e items today are simply getting the temperature of the Board to direct us to move forward or not. National intere $-Y in this subject is surging, and it's complicated and innovative, ecause --it's complicated because it aspires to harness the ever-cnanging dynamics of the market to achieve a fixed policy goal 0 , t1i e 6 unty. It's innovative because it aims to balance opposing points o .v iew in communities regarding the roles and responsibilities oft e private sector to meet a public need within that free-market syst m. What we'd like to do is to be able to come together to the extent that where policies are mandatory, voluntary, or somewhere in between and apply --get a direction of where we should apply those Page 46 October 9, 2018 and which circumstances. Where the Board lands is determined by the development incentives that attempt to mitigate and offset the economic impacts of the zoning. The good news here is that Collier County has at our disposal a number of tools to optimize developer participation and spur the ~ desired development of new housing that's affordable. ~ Some of the benefits of such a program is that we do create a market-based solution. The market chooses how to meet tne goal with multiple options offered to participants. We can increase density which allows more mar et rate units. We can fast track and save money through the a:12 ro als and time. We could make our impact fee deferrals available to hese units and maybe more. We're looking for a win-win propo s-i iora t at would provide a revenue-positive scenario for the de:velo ~r whereby the developer saves time and gets to create more mabk:et need for affordable housing units. We feel it's a measured a, d alanced approach that would produce homes that are at 0F , le in perpetuity to keep pace with growth. This concept isn't new. It's been in our Comprehensive Plan for decades, or at leas a decade. Policy 17.9 of your current Comprehensiv e Plan Housing Element says that we will explore the development o a fair-share affordable housing ordinance that shall require commercial and residential developments to address the lack of aff orda61 e "using. fy:rt her says that the requirement that a percentage of units be e~eloped will be set aside for below-market-rate housing, an option whereby land could be donated to a non-profit entity and/or placed in a land bank or other alternatives that will assist in mitigating the rising need for affordable housing as the population increases. Also in our Land Development Code we currently have this Page 47 October 9, 2018 concept in place. In Section 2.A, 2.B of the rural villages section says that within rural villages shall include --a minimum of .2 units per acre in a rural village shall be affordable housing, of which at least .1 units per acre shall be workforce housing. What this means is that as your rural villages are developed ottt at two to three units to the acre, .2 are required to be affordable, lf c equates to 7 to 10 percent, set aside. Our recommendation here for this item today is to wor-k with --to direct staff to work with the development community, ba~ers, and other interested parties to develop Growth Managem nt Plan and Land Development Code amendments that will creat a market-based mixed-income housing program. Commissioners, this recommendation wouicl put housing on the same playing field as other community 11I~eas uch as parks, open space, utilities, water/sewer, traffi . t otces new development to address the housing demands that i~ itself creates in the same mechanism as those other types 0f .hings that we consider, that all viable and good communitre · .. ©uld include in the development approvals. And, Mr. Chairma , there are six recommendations. That's the end of the presentation on No. 1. I don't know if you'd like to have discussion aft@r ac or at the end. CHAIRM N SOLIS: I think it would be better to have discussions aft~t each just because they're different, and I think that's also tlie iW a}9 e've been doing it in the past so we don't forget what w~'re gojt1g to ask, right? Speak for myself. ~OMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Why don't we do that. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: So I think--are there any speakers that want to speak to this specific item? MR. MILLER: They're all just registered for this item as a whole . Page 48 October 9, 2018 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: As a whole. Okay. All right. Oh, I think Kathy Curatolo would like to. MS. CURATOLO: Thank you. Kathy Curatolo, for the record, Collier Building Industry Association. I would like to speak to this particular issue. ~ First of all it, in my mind, is defined as inclusionary zoning. Inclusionary zoning does not work. The research shows us t at · t aoes not work, so why would we want to have government dixl.at e inclusionary zoning? ~ ~ As you are all well aware, the Collier Building Iniju stry Association is very much interested in working co flah ratively within our community. We work with the Building Department on a regular basis, meet regularly to create solutions. L is is an area where there's no budging. We don't believe goveivm~ s onld be entered into inclusionary zoning issues. ~ And we appreciate that staff r e ac h ed out to the Collier Building Industry Association to discuss ifh is issue. I went to my leadership, but the reality is we're not int €r est , d in discussing an issue that doesn't work. We're interested in a fordable housing issues that work. Thank you so muc . CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Anyone else that would like to speak to this specific item? ~e s, sir. MR. IL E : Please state your name, sir. MR. SllBt:ART: Yes. My name's Christopher Shucart. Good morning, C , fnmissioners. v e been a full-time resident of Collier County for 14 years. I've ow ed a commercial property in East Naples for over 13 years, and I've oeen a member of the East Naples Civic Association since 2004. Housing that is affordable is a very important issue for a well-balanced community. I'm not here to be unsupportive of the Community Housing Plan; however, the devil's in the details, and Page 49 there's a lot of details that need to be worked through. I did have a question. Could I ask staff a question? CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Sure. October 9, 2018 MR. SHU CART: As part of this item, is there anything within the Community Housing Plan that would allow the residential developer to mitigate a portion or all of the required affordable no si g out of their project or out of the area in which they would be -BuM ding their project? 0 MR. GIBLIN: As you said, the devil's in the details , ~n d those details haven't been worked out yet with the direction o t the Board. So there are -- MR. SHUCART: So there's no details as f© tHat specific mitigation requirement as of yet? ~ MR. GIBLIN: Correct. • MR. SHUCART: Okay. So~ toprc would be pertaining to not having the mitigation ability where1 y a clevelopment in East Naples could mitigate north or a develo ment in North Naples could mitigate their affordable housing o l -income housing to East Naples or some other portion or some other area within the county. It's a county-wide issue that W,e need to work on, and I believe that the mitigation issue , 0uld be detrimental to the areas. I appreciate yotJ t help. Thank you. (Applause. CHAIREi~N SOLIS: Anyone else who wanted to speak on this partio Ia is . ue? ~n9 ·f there's anyone else that's going to speak, you can please e 0n up -- MS. YOUNG: Patricia Young. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: --and be ready. MS. YOUNG: And I think I want to kind of speak to one of the ideas here, the win-win. There's something missing here. I mean, Page 50 October 9, 2018 we've got a housing plan that neither the ULI nor the Collier approach has considered the unintended consequences to our schools. No housing exists in a vacuum. The effect of neighborhood on children's outcomes is significant. Because of the locating of so much affordable, subsidized, and non-profit housing in East Naples , the ar-ea schools have an inordinately high percentage of economically., '\ ~ disadvantaged children. ~ And here are the numbers. Let's win for the children, bu~ here is what it looks like right now. These are the latest percentagys of economically disadvantaged students in the East Naples elementary schools feeding into Lely High School, with on int0 N aples High School. Manatee, 93 percent; Parkside, 97 perc ent; A'.valon, 94 percent; Shadowlawn, 92 percent; making ely Elementary sound low at 77 percent. This is scary. This is a er· si s. Overall, East Naples has 92 p €toen economically disadvantaged students in the schools versus, sax O p ercent in the Gulf Coast High School area. But we also need tQ a cknowledge, as was the subject today, Immokalee and EV,e:F gl a s City with 97 and 91 percent economically disadvantage , and kudos to the Foundation in Immokalee. But these aces are impacted by their job base in agriculture, fishi n g, and the rural location. Geogranh has b een the isolating determinant here, unlike the residents o East aples who work in areas from Marco to North Naples . So , ey do you continue locating more affordable units in East Naple ? Yo are molding this profile. And why should you care? The late ~t-educational research shows that schools where there's a high peF~e , age of poverty, there is less academic success and economic mob ility. Living amidst poverty itself includes a huge dose, and including a huge dose in school all day, is a hurdle in and of itself. Putting Cambridge programs in every school in the county does not solve this Page 51 October 9, 2018 problem. The problem is not a lack of academic challenge. It is a psychosocial culture challenge. So we need to pay attention to that . science. And as we talked about the environmental red tide and things being in the USA Today, USA Today also put a map in the Naples Daily News Saturday showing the United States, which is currend )J being measured by a group called, excuse me, Opportunity k las. They're a group of economists out of Harvard University and they are looking at the schools across the country and evaluating t em in terms of the poverty issue. And, unfortunately, in this map, Florida is one o systems that are of concern. You could change tnat. Thank you very much. C, .-. (Applause.) • JO CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Very gooEl . i -there are no other --one more speaker. For this item, please. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Sorry. CHAIRMAN SOLIS : F Ufis particular recommendation? UNIDENTIFIED SPH~KER: For this in general. CHAIRMAN SOL S: ell, no. We're addressing each one of these. UNIDENi'IFIBB SPEAKER: Okay. I'll wait till the end. CHAIRM N SOLIS: So, please, if you want to speak, please speak to eacr tl! of the recommendations. Figure out which ones you want,to s eak to and speak to that. ~g ~in, just to be clear, there are no recommendations coming out to cl~ approving specific Growth Management Plan amendments or Lan -Development Code amendments or specific developments of any kind anywhere in the county. Let's just be clear about that. These are recommendations from staff that they're bringing forward and asking for our direction as to whether they should pursue amendments to the Page 52 October 9, 2018 Land Development Code that would apply in general. Okay. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And would you be clear on which item we're actually having a discussion on? Because it sounded to me like we were kind of global with regard to why they're here today with this housing plan. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Well, we have how many, seven?.,'\~ MR. GIBLIN: There are six recommendations. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Six recommendations. So w e're going to go through each one of them like we have in the past. ~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And this proposed recommendation right now is for No. 1 on todaj_;'s -- MR. GIBLIN: Correct. It's called the MiX:ecl ncome Housing Program. COMMISSIONER McDANIE~: @(9 en'a, gotcha. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Correot ~e ~ good. So other speakers on this recommendation, so Commissioner Taylor. MR. GIBLIN: I understan tfi e question. So you're asking that if this were implemented an~ a -- COMMISSIONER TI YLOR: There we go. MR. GIBLIN: --a d a development had to include a number of affordable units, 0w would we guarantee they actually are? Any units creat~d by this program or any other program that I'll discuss today w0uld be, by definition, an approved affordable housing unit: Those that we monitor yearly through the county; we know the rents,,,tfi at an~ being charged; we know the incomes of the renter or bu;ret; \\Ze· know the sales prices; and through yearly monitoring, we cu e tly have an inventory that we look at a few thousand a year to ma e sure that the developers who made those commitments are living up to them. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: But what income bracket, though? Page 53 October 9, 2018 MR. GIBLIN: Again, the devil would be in the details. This proposed program you could designate certain percentages to different income brackets. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Workforce housing? MR. GIBLIN: Correct. ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Seniors, that kind of thing 0f ay . CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner McDaniel? ~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. Cormac, I've a o an issue with this process since I became a commissioner. I've a cl issues with the metrics that you popped up there, the data that sho s the theoretic need, the calculations to assimilate that and the met nel o ogies utilized to that, and I've regularly not been pleased with tnose as we've been going through this process. I think, candid ~ the government's way outside of its bailiwick with regard to thi . And my question is: It sounds liRe --from some of the slides that you brought up were basically alre a d~ aadressing --per the code, per the LDC, per the GMP, we hay -st ipulations that allow us to fulfill the statutory requirements thaKw e ave, that we are required as a community to provide for a certain amount of housing that is, in fact, affordable, and those criterion are already established in our current GMP and LDC. MR. GIB IN: ~he GMP policy says that you will look at it. The LDC section that brought up about the rural villages does --that is the law of the lan t oday in Collier County. If you develop a rural village, you wi ll inc u de housing that's affordable. This recommendation befor y 9u today is to do that all over the county, not just in a m i ed use rural village. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Right. And so are we --is there a specific definition within the statute --because the statute's very broad. Is there a specific definition within the statute requisites that requisites the county to supply a certain number of units that are, in Page 54 October 9, 2018 fact, affordable? MR. GIBLIN: The statute is very broad. It says that there will be housing available to the entire population. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Is it your opinion that Collier County is within the guise of the statute and its requisites for the ~ community to provide housing that is, in fact, affordable? _ \~ MR. GIBLIN: The statute also mentions the Shimberg S enter for Affordable Housing as the state's --the housing data cleaFingn ouse. They point to them as the numbers folks. And according S':)' them, we do have a deficit. It's a function of the cost-burdening €rcentage. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Sir? MR. GIBLIN: They use a function of the e~st-burdened percentage, how many people are living her unaffordably. COMMISSIONER McDANIE~: cl i o know well I'm not going to go down that rabbit hole again. I 've already shared with you I'd never even heard of cost burdening until that was brought up to us by the folks from ULI, and the all 0f a sudden it shifted right straight into this metrics for calculation 0 this need, so I question --I have one more question, if I may, r . Chair. I have, on this Slid 11 that came through and these proposed units that come fFQm these different initiatives, how are you estimating --how are you estim,ating these numbers without having specificity for us to actually lo0k at to make adjustments to the GMP and LDC to effectuate t €S incentive programs? You've got numbers that are coming in €re that are --absolutely have to be estimates. M~. GIBLIN: We have a specific methodology that was created to j stify each of those estimates. And you're right, they are estimates. But for each of those numbers on that chart, here is the background and the methodology and the assumptions that are built in to each one of those. So they're not just throwing darts at a dart board. They do have some reason and thought behind them. Page 55 October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And my last question is, is I haven't seen any available data or any data from you with regard to the units that we, in fact, have that are classified as affordable or could be, in fact, affordable, and I'd like to see that at some time as well, soon. MR. GIBLIN: Okay. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Is that all? ~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: That's all I have for no . CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. Commissioner Saundet s ants -- has some questions, I believe, I've got some questions ana e now may have some other speakers. So we are due for a b eal<: for our court reporter, so why don't we take 10 minutes, and e 11 he back at 10:47. (A brief recess was had.) MR. OCHS: Ladies and gentlemen, wlease take your seats. Sir, you have a live mic. • A_, CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yes, sit ~~, Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUN::.....----s..c.-RS: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm not sure if this is reallr qu sti oning or more in the line of some comments . It may result in so e response and some questions. The topic, this part ·-eular topic is mixed-income housing incentive program with the emphasis on incentive. I think that we've all been talking about r)'Jng t5 provide incentives for property owners and developers to dev elop this type of housing without trying to get into some of the mandatory things. J.t:Ii inotusionary zoning issue is one that I've had some problems witn. I ~0n't think it's appropriate for the county to say to a property ow e "if you want to develop your property, you have to have a certain percentage of a specific type of housing in that development." But I do like the idea of substantially increasing density. At one point we were talking about as much as 26 units per acre, I think, was one of staffs suggestions. There were a couple ofus on the Page 56 October 9, 2018 Board that said, hey, that's way too dense. I'm not so sure that that is too dense. I think for some type of workforce and affordable housing perhaps we should look at those types of densities, and I would support that. The other issue in terms of incentive is fast tracking. We've ~ talked about that, and we've made sure that we still have the public hearings for affordable workforce housing. I know there's an e£fort at some point to perhaps have the Hearing Examiner make that final decision if there's a --if we're talking about commercial a ~as converting to residential. I think we should always h e he County Commission making those decisions, and I think we nould always have the public hearing process, but we can still , ast t ack it, and I think we're doing that already. I don't know if tHat needs to be tweaked some more for this type of housing. • We talked about impact fees def er.rats, and I certainly support that. That's a type of an incentive. The point that I want to ma e j s that I don't think we should go with the inclusionary zoning, an 1 don't think we should be requiring property owners to develop in a certain way. But I like the idea of providing an incentive. nd perhaps that increased density up to as much as 26 units per acre, impact fee deferrals, and continue to fast track the proc @ss I t}iink would work with this better than trying to force inclusiona~ zoning on property owners. Let me sl< a question. And I'm not sure Cormac is the right perso t<D answer this. It may be from our zoning planning staff. But w~ nave pproved projects with densities approaching 26 units per acFe, believe; is that correct? I know that the Triangle, that project ther , I think, could have very high density. MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, Zoning and Planning Director. And, yes, the mini-triangle project was upwards of 40 units per acre. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So the point is, I think, that Page 57 October 9, 2018 those types of densities would make some sense to me, but not the inclusionary zoning. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: My question was, we're talking about -- right, and it's similar or maybe it's just a different way of asking the same question as Commissioner Saunders just made. ~ I mean, we're calling this an incentive-based mixed-income housing program, but it's incentives but it's mandatory. MR. OCHS: Correct. ,to COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Right. ~ ,,_. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Right. '~ MR. OCHS: No. You require a certain amount of mixed-income housing, but you provide a series of options to the oeveloper on how to satisfy that requirement. That's the recommendation, yes, sir. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I mean, this -e' e been --we've tried this in the past, have we not, something similar? MR. GIBLIN: I don't understancf . Tried? CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I mean, we've -- MR. KLATZKOW: In t'14 e past what we've done is we've taken money in lieu of this conce t and it didn't quite work out, and we gave the money back. ✓ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Right. MR. OC. $: e had a recession. CHAIRM N SOLIS: Right. Okay. Commi-S sioner Fiala. ,, OMMISSIONER FIALA: Yeah. Just a question for Cgmmis,ioner Saunders. This increase in density, is that also, in your mo · o anyway, for areas that are in the Coastal High Hazard Area? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Well, I guess a couple things. I didn't make a motion. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, I'm sorry. Your statement. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: But when we discussed Page 58 October 9, 2018 density increases some time ago, there were a couple of us, including myself, that said, hey, 26 units per acre, that's way too much, and then we went ahead and approved the development at a higher density. So I'm just saying, the 26 units per acre was a staff recommendation at one point, and I concur with that, that we should increase the densities to those levels, but keep this purely as an incentive program, not mandatory in terms of the inclusionary zoning, not mandato · tlie sense of requiring a payment in lieu of providing that tyP.e 0f ousing, but let's --~ One of the comments that has been made is tha e tl on't have a crisis yet, and I think that's important. I think e lia~e tli e opportunity to try some of these incentive programs, see how tHey work, and if we do get into a crisis situation, that's a different bal' game, but that's where I'd like to go. I don't want to ~ee ru €Q iring developers to build certain types of housing. I want to give them the opportunity to build that type of housing, make a nice profit, and we do that through increasing density, and I think 2 6 u nits per acre makes sense, and continue the fast track and p, o: id1ng impact fee credits. COMMISSIONER Fl LA: So your answer to my question is, do you feel that extra densiw belongs in the coastal high hazard area as well? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I'm not sure that the coastal high hazard area is a place for that, but. .. COM . IS8 ONER McDANIEL: It could be. ,, H ~I AN SOLIS: Commissioner Fiala, is that it? ~elJ½MISSIONER FIALA: I'm done. Thank you. OHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner McDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. One of the examples you brought up with regard to existing regulations that we have is in the rural fringe regarding rural villages. How many rural villages have we actually constructed? Page 59 October 9, 2018 MR. GIBLIN: Zero. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And so --and I'm not saying that this portion of the law, if you will, as you referred to it as the law of the land --but I also know that some of the restrictions --we've had a difficult time with the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District and the ~ utilization of the TDR credit system, and it was a combination G> t e expense associated with those TDRs along with the regulato ~ constraints. And even well before I became a commissioner heard about the regulatory constraints that were imposed upo t'h;,€se villages that then, in turn, were cost prohibitive, adding increase o the development and, ultimately, the successes associatecl w ith it, so ... And, Commissioner Saunders, I couldn't agree with you more in regard to approaching these efforts as an ine enti e base. I've said it since the final report of the ULI came ou , an a [ think I actually even read that last paragraph that came ft Qm t . eir report with regard to this not being an emergency at this stag€. There's no argument that d i er 's a need. There are certain facets of our community, veterans h 011s·ng, housing for those with developmental --God ble ~ou --those with developmental disadvantages and the lik>e, out I'm purely hoping that we lean towards incentive-based p t0grams with regard to this. CHAIRMJ\N S0 LIS: Commissioner Taylor. COMMI S:S I NER TAYLOR: If this is inclusionary zoning, and maybe that c0u r be inclusionary zoning, maybe you would consider it that, i sn't th t a better idea than congregating 26 units an acre in an area? ~9u almost start getting what we all left the northeast for, which is l)fl ngregating low-income housing in an area, building after building with very high densities . And that's probably not what we should be thinking of. Now, I'm not suggesting that incentivization isn't --I think it's a wonderful idea, but I'm a little concerned about that concept. And I Page 60 October 9, 2018 guess my question to staff would be --I'm not sure this --I don't think this is going to pass, but assuming that we said, okay, bring us back some ideas on this idea about having it as inclusionary zoning, could we be very specific what income levels we want in those developments that would --where we would require this kind of workforce housing or this kind of affordable housing? MR. GIBLIN: You certainly could. There are a few ke-decision points that you can put into an ordinance. Number one Wi0ttld be what percentage of that development is needed to satisfy the requirement. Is it 5 percent, 10 percent, 15 percent? Also, then, what ine ome levels do those set-asides target? Low income, very low income moderate income, gap income? So those would be the details tnat --the decision points that would be in a possible progra COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: .Ok~. ~ d thenjust, you know, not to be argumentative, but I don't th,ihK 'm ever going to for get Al Reynolds standing up in the back o[ d ie room; he was right over there saying, you know, it is a crisis f 0:r af fordable housing. And as an employer, a major emploxer i this community for decades, I think I would accept his word on 1t . mean, to me that showed me that it's starting to hurt the empl0yers that are trying to hire people so that they can do a good job ere. CHAIRMJ\N S0LIS: Commissioner McDaniel. COMMIS:SI NER McDANIEL: Yeah. I'm not comfortable in giving dire0 tiou to staff with regard to this initiative without specificit ies I can't see any reason for us to be even considering in(ffltl iol}ary zoning. think there are multiple processes. And if you're looking for -- the ecommendation is to direct staff to bring forward these things, I don't feel comfortable in doing that at this particular stage. Without an accurate dataset for me to actually look at with the availability of units that are there, and the specific diagnosis of the need, I can't support Page 61 October 9, 2018 that; I can't support that recommendation. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Well, I think we can give staff some direction in terms of an incentive --a mixed-income housing incentive program. And I think we can give them some direction t at that does not include inclusionary zoning. ::\ 'i> MR. GIBLIN: Commissioners, the specific recommendati(\)ns that you referenced, the higher densities, 20 units to the a eFe , the fast tracking, those kinds of things, those are Nos. 3, 4, 5, ana 6 in this presentation. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Correct. MR. GIBLIN: So those are part of the paclc age. ·This was --this is the only recommendation that was looked at as a mandatory regulation, that all developments would l,e fl r 0ed to address the issue. It's also the only one that would be -~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDE S: I'm looking at the recommendation. Direct staff t 0 werk with the development community, bankers, and ether im erested parties to develop Growth Management Plan/LDC amendments that will create a market-based mixed-income housing p rogram. That --I don't have any issues with that particular stat ement. That does not necessarily include any particular typ e/4:>' a p,F Ogram. It's working with the community to -- COMMIS:S I NER TAYLOR: Yes. COM . I S8 ONER SAUNDERS: --come up with that. As long as we g1Ne staff the direction that that doesn't include inclusionary zo in g . Jf we --I mean -- MR. OCHS: Mr. Chairman, I think, you know, the word that should have been added there was probably a "mandatory market-based mixed-income housing program." And on that basis, I think there's not sufficient support that I'm seeing on the dais. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Then I agree. I'm just reading Page 62 October 9, 2018 the recommendation. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And that's where it's --forgive me, am I out of line? I'm out of tum. Commissioner Fiala. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Fiala was next. COMMISSIONER FIALA: I was just --I have a couple littl questions, and I think it's pertaining to this. Anyway, how manf 1u1i s right now do we already have in Collier County? Do you ha e hose figures? MR. GIBLIN: I do. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Of affordable hou sin g ; I should clarify that. And as long as you're looking that u ,. 0 n could also let us know how many more are needed. We don't even know -- MR. GIBLIN: We have --earlier this ear 1n February we asked you to recodify our definition of affo1 dab e fu o sing, and we split it into approved affordable housing, w h icn IJv e already mentioned this morning, are those that are known, trac Red, monitored, quote-unquote, "the official affordable housing Rn it5 " that are in the county's inventory. We also then looked at everything valued by the Property Appraiser less than $250,000 per year. I mean, per value. And there are 78,000 units vight now in Collier County that are valued at less than $250,000. COMMIS:S I NER McDANIEL: One quick question while he's there. ,, OMM ISSIONER FIALA: Does that include rental properties, or wfie re is that included in your figures? MR. GIBLIN: Certainly, some of the restricted approved affo dable housing are rental properties. Many of them, I'd say more than not, are in this unrestricted market-rate housing that changes price as the market goes up and down. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay. Now, when you were doing Page 63 October 9, 2018 the count --I'm not quite sure if that's getting to the points I said, so I have to think that through. When you got to that, did you also count in the housing that I would say isn't approved? Like, for instance, Naples Manor, but that's not in your count, is it? MR. GIBLIN: If those homes are appraised by the Property~ Appraiser less than $250,000 market value, then they're in the - t I n they are included. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, then that's how you g o it? What about, like, Section 8 housing; is that included i it? MR. GIBLIN: Those would be in the restricted ide, yes. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay. And et's see. think --I think that's it for now. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. Q COMMISSIONER FIALA: 0 ~, h0w a y do you need? MR. GIBLIN: The needs model thatyou adopted also in February showed a yearly need of about 1,665 units per year. COMMISSIONER FIAL · , ased on approved or based upon the entire -- MR. GIBLIN: Basecl 0n we would need that many approved units --✓ COMMISS,<9NER TAYLOR: New. MR. GIB IN: --yearly; new. COMMIS:SI NER FIALA: So we need that much approved, housing, or 1s it based on the ones that you've categorized not only appro etl bur not approved but sitting on the ground? M~. GIBLIN: Yeah. The interesting thing about that model is that · t Bid include everything in the known universe of housing units in Colli er County both approved and market rate that may be affordable. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner McDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. Well, just two points, and Page 64 October 9, 2018 you brought up one. There again, in that needs metrics that is continually referred to, you were strictly utilizing a tax assessor valuation with regard to the dataset for the homes that are below 250,000. MR. GIBLIN: On the needs side, we do include the totals, out to address --to compute the need, we look at real NABOR data, ni a1 estate data of numbers of homes and units available for sale e>r~ent at certain levels. So it's a real-time metrics. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Market, not assess t;d valuation? ~ .. MR. GIBLIN: Correct, correct. ~~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Okay. h d then going back around to my original point, Commissione Saunders, if you read the preamble, if you read what was on our ~genBa it talks about an incentive-based program, but then , h€n you read the actual recommendation, it is actually a com:gH ance-based program, and I'm discontent with that. COMMISSIONERS~ ])ERS: And I agree with you. I was reading the recommendati0n. And I think the manager clarified that by adding the word "mandatory" in there. COMMISS, <9NER McDANIEL: So I'll make a motion for no. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I'll second that. CHAIRM N SOLIS: There's a motion and a second. Any other All in favor, say aye. QOMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Aye. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Aye. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye. Page 65 October 9, 2018 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Any opposed? (No response.) MR. GIBLIN: All right. We can move on to Recommendation No. 2 now. It's to provide regulatory relief to certain housing applications that address housing affordability to increase certain . The purpose of this recommendation is to incentivize the devel0p I ent of housing that's affordable by increasing certainty in the development process. Creating development incentives for developme t t t, voluntarily include housing that is affordable will encourage the oeMelopment for more affordable units. Possible examples of the types of regulatoiw relief that this could encompass would be increasing the allow eel oor area ratio for assisted living facilities that have a greater numbeE o Medicare beds. You could allow cluster housing for devel0~ments that volunteer to include housing that is affordable without a conaitional-use process, as is the current system, or that relief can come in some other form of site design standards with roacl an({.sidewalk widths, the availability of generators, design criteria, 0r reduced parking standards. The bottom line of this recommendation is that we're looking for your direction to w ork with the Development Services Advisory Committee to exr lorJt and vet possible changes to our LDC that would provide regulato~ relief and bring those suggested amendments back to the Boar fo l"'approval. The benefits of this is that if the reliefs are spell~ out, · t increases certainty to the development industry. We w01:llo m;aintain that any relief sought would need to maintain the ov€ a l health, safety, welfare of the community, and it would be a public benefit because this is a priority of the Board to make sure that there's sufficient need for affordable housing. So, in short, our recommendation is looking for direction to move forward working in concert with your Land Development Services Page 66 October 9, 2018 Advisory Committee to explore the LDC, take it apart, and look for areas where we can look for incentives. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Before Commissioner Taylor, is there anyone that would like to speak on this particular recommendation? MS. SOUKUP: I would. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. I'\~ MR. MILLER: State your name, please. ~ MS. SOUKUP: Yes, thank you. 0 Hi. I'm Sheryl Soukup. I'm on your Affordable ou~ng Advisory Committee, and I didn't really realize you w e going to vote on this before the last one. But I do want to say that we are working really Hard as your volunteers to try to look at all this informat40n. I've attended a lot of public town meetings and different af fo aao e Fi ousing gatherings that have taken place, and I've really tri€d Jt0 i sten to people's concerns. Today the staff is asking you t o JUst give direction to move forward to continue to explore t, es e,-possibilities. So just as a whole, I want to ask you, for each 0f ll ese, give direction on what you do and don't want and let them con inue their work down this path, because we really do need affordable housing. And I thi Qne of you is --I think, none of you thinks that there's no need. We ~ust have to figure out how to best meet the need that, you know, w orks for all community members. So ha~ing said that, on this specific one I really want you to undeF taind fi example of how this could work. People with de welop , ental disabilities often don't have the ability to drive cars. So if )(0u're creating housing for people with developmental disabilities, you may not need as many parking spaces. So this would be one way that you could provide some regulatory relief that would reduce the cost of development and allow us to make housing for people with developmental disabilities affordable. Page 67 October 9, 2018 Many other examples that developers could provide to staff to help them with this process, but if you could give some direction as to how they might move forward to explore some of the things, we'd be grateful. Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank you, and thank you for you on the committee. Yes, sir. 0 MR. DANZ: Mr. Chairman, Commissioners, ill)'. atpe is George Danz, and I'm here to represent myself as a taxpayei and also the East Naples Civic Association. There are a number of questions on a numfu er of these, and I have specific comments about this item and als n ave items on Item F, so I'm going to --as long as I'm at the lt;_cte m:, ]' -going to do both at the same time. ~ I don't see specifics regarding the methodology in this request to provide certain housing applicati Qn~ Is there criteria --is there criteria for increased floor area rati o fl r assisted living facilities? Where do we want cluster housing to e located? How would cluster housing apply for relief? I don't ee any specific site-design standard to which relief is to be prow1ded. It isn't cl @aI tha · oad widths, sidewalk widths, design criteria, reduced parkin s andard would benefit the community. Should these exemptions oe s•imply granted by a county department or advisory comm ttee i thout oversight or approval by the County Commission? ~no I realize that these are the standards that need to be J' e~eloped, but I still think my biggest concern is we need oversight by the C ounty Commission and NIMs process. Also, I had some comments prepared for Item F in the executive summary, so let me do that while I'm here. Provide an increase in density in CRA areas and along transit corridors . I don't believe that Page 68 October 9, 2018 the recommendation was included in the original plan issued in October of 2017 but was added later. There are currently three CRAs in Collier: City of Naples, Bayshore Drive, and Immokalee. The LDC already allows for density changes through the regular MPUD process with input from NIMs, Planning Commission, and the BCC. This recommendation guts t at process, eliminating citizen input. I see the Bayshore area as that likely precipitant (sic) of this change. Has any study been performed to assess the effects o higher density to the school system, traffic congestion, an i:es:R onse for emergency services? Has there been any consi erati n of the integration of this change to be included with tHe ouiihouse Shadows and other possible strategic opportunity sit es and activity centers? I would ask the commissioners to ensider the unintended • consequences of this change. Any ~~ under county jurisdiction will be subject to the density expansions Wii t out regard for legitimate citizen engagement and buy-in. ~nrl , again, I think the important issue is citizen input and Counw ~~n mnission approval. Thank you very mucn (Applause.) ✓ MR. KOULGHERAS: Good morning, Mr. Chair, Commissionevs, y J]'ame is Nick Kouloheras. I was going to save my comments to the end, but I had a conversatio I'd: ike to just briefly tell you about. Last week I met with ,a g entl € an, a local business owner, and he saw what --the need fo a ffor~able housing, the need for it in Collier County, what it was oi g, how it was restricting his ability to recruit and retain the quali fied workforce that he needs . So he decided to take it upon himself, and he went out, and he is building a home right now for his employee or employees to buy. And he was trying to do this at a price point of $250 ,000 with the Page 69 October 9, 2018 intention that his employees that make between about 75-to $90,000, roughly 100, 120 AMI, would be able to buy this home and affordably live in it. He's doing everything he can right now to get that house done and under 300,000. So after talking with him and talking about the different things he was going up against, he said, well, Nick, he said, here's my pr9~lern . He said high land values, impact fees, materials, labor, and he $aid -- perfectly honest with you, he said, quite frankly, just what e erceives is a lack of motivation by our local government and b j r€sjdents within Collier County to have this type of affordable hous · ng . H e said, I'm done. He said, I'm not going to try to build ano her 0 e. ,,He said, I might pick up, move my company out of town, and go somewhere where I can do this. And so the housing plan, as it pertains t t ese type of incentives, is meant to create tools to do just th'.at, t o counter what that gentleman told me, to give him or her tools ancsl 1Jil'centives to be able to offset some of those things that governme,n t or private sector can't offset which are such things as l and a1ues. So, you know, as we loo at these recommendations to move forward and bring back --I agree with Mr. Shucart and Cormac about the devil's in the d etails; there's a lot of things still to work out. But what will haP,Ren if tltese programs are not considered and not looked at? It will · nevit ably force developers --take Habitat for Humanity for an example --tir at if there's not these type of programs to help offset costs o tl ev~lop properties around Collier County, then those pn~pert1~s that are developed are going to be forced into areas where Ian i --where land costs less . And I think, ultimately, what we'd like to s e is properties being spread out around Collier County. So those are the type of incentives that we look at and we try to deal with every day that would help us get there as well. So thank you very much for your time . I appreciate it. Page 70 October 9, 2018 MR. CIOFFI: Good afternoon. Hi. My name is Ralph Cioffi. I'm a resident of Naples. I've been a full-time resident since 2010, and my family has been here since 1979. I'm a business owner and a real estate developer. And I think there's some confusion or maybe some knee-jer~ reaction among the residents of Naples when they hear affordapl housing. Basically, affordable housing is housing whereby the onthly total cost of ownership or rental does not exceed 30 perce:nt oi one's monthly gross income. And I think you have to keep in m jnd a lot of those people are already in our community. They're 1·ving here now, but they're living in what would be considered nafforclable to them where their monthly cost of ownership or rental a exceeds 30 percent. I think the other thing to keep in min · s that affordable isn't low income; affordable can be moderate to a tQr 6 alMe. And what that means --and it's based upon HUD iirn·ta .i ons --is that moderate would be anywhere from 51 to 80 percent o edian area income, and --by the way, Collier County's median ai;ea income is 75,000. That's one of the highest median area ineomes in the country. And we're also looking at affordable and workforce housing. People hear workforce 0using; there's always a negative knee-jerk reaction. But I tbink in Collier County it's nurses, it's teachers, it's first responders. a the concept is, if they're working in those professions, the~ . hould live in the community in which they work. I have a nephew who's a second-year police officer, a niece who's two yeaJis o ,f ofFGCU. She's got a good job, but they're living in Bonit s9mewhere because they can't afford to live in Naples. I think incentive --as a developer, incentives definitely work. I'm not a big proponent of forced affordable housing, but if the incentives are right, I'll build affordable. I'll build a mixed affordable and market-based housing. It can work with the right incentives. And I think we need more Page 71 October 9, 2018 community understanding, more community support to make this kind of an all-exclusives process. Thank you. MR. RIGSBEE: Good morning, Commissioners. How are you? My name's Steve Rigsbee, and I'm a CRA representative for the ~ Triangle. ~ I'd like a more specific. Special-needs housing, would tHa include halfway houses, or would that include just peopl t a are handicapped and can't get about correctly? Because at t e 13resent time with the special-needs housing, that's kind of an inch1 ive of --it's too broad a term, I guess, is what I'm saying. We already have probably a half a dozen H fway houses in the Triangle area that I live in. We don't want tllem. They're a nuisance. They're disruptive to the neighborhoods . nfl 1 , myself --and I don't mind breaking my anonymity --is J:\re been sober for 37 years, so I know how these places work. I kn(\) about the sexual assaults that occur in these houses. I know a lot of information that is vital to making a decision on this BPiecnal needs --if you're going to include that special needs. CHAIRMAN SOL S: e decided not to go forward with that, This actual item, Mr. Chair, "Pro¥· e r,egulatory streamline for certain relief that includes seniors, veterans, and special-needs housing." This is specifically what he's refe ·ng to and that definition of special needs, so ... CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. But it's not inclusionary. It's not mandatory. It's --if somebody wants to do that, then there would be some regulatory relief to make it -- COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And definition as to what, in Page 72 October 9, 2018 fact, special needs is. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I understand. Okay. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Okay. I wasn't -- MR. RIGSBEE: All right. I guess that's all I have to say if you've made up your mind about it. Thank you. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank you. I'\~ (Applause.) ~ MR. JARON: My name is Stephen Jaron. I'm a resi ent of the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle area. ~ My comments aren't necessarily directed at No. Q C>n your list, but I have to leave, so I can't stay much longer. But, anyway, first thing is about the metric tRat are used to determine who is eligible for affordable housing. I believe Mr. Giblin said 75,000 in income and 440-in --.44 0;:006 in. home price. Is that pretty much where we're at? ~ MR. GIBLIN: I don't believe so ,. no. 75,000 is the median income of Collier County. ~ MR. JARON: Media ihtame, yes. Average median income. And the average home value is 440-? MR. GIBLIN: No. A home value of someone at the top level of our gap housing €Yel is about $290,000. MR. JA&ON: (»kay. But when you talk about just basic numbers for average inc0me and average home value in Collier County, isn't 75,000 and J,• 0-the -- Rl . G; BLIN: If you're asking about the average, yes. Not for af:foraaB}e. MR. JARON: Yes, okay. Okay. Yeah. Those are the two nu:m ers that, really, your whole presentation is based on. April of 2017, the City of Naples rejected affordable housing. I believe your numbers include the city incomes and the city home values also . Ifwe aren't going to put affordable housing in the city, I Page 73 October 9, 2018 can't understand why we would include the incomes and the home values within the city limits. So just my opinion on that matter. I live in the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle area. One of these items, the last one, is to increase density within Bayshore, within the other CRA that's in the city and the CRA that's in Immokalee. Folks have been --and I think this gets forgotten. People that live in the CR.AJs have been paying an additional MSTU tax for years. In the Ba shore area it's been almost 20 years. To inject low-income housing into Bayshore, I o ~lee, and Naples, if that's possible, really kind of contradicts t e wnole point of a CRA. We're trying to redevelop areas instead o hola them back. Bayshore, it's been mentioned before, of course, 1s west of 41. It's in the coastal high-hazard area. I can't see ~. y we'd want to put low-income folks in harm's way. • A couple other things. The Co lier ousing plan, whatever it becomes, whatever way it goes, it w ilt Have a lasting and irreversible impact on Collier County. Let's make certain the data and figures are accurate. And just one last thing workforce housing for civil servants -- CHAIRMAN SOL S: hank you. MR. JARO : --for police, fire, EMT I think should be a number-one , ri ority. Sorry. Thank you. CHAIRM N SOLIS: Thank you. Very ggod. So we have the recommendation. Is there a motion? ,, OMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I'd like to make a motion to ac e ep1 ~~· -- OHAIRMAN SOLIS: Oh, I'm sorry. There are two lights on, before you do that. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Well, I'm going to speak anyway, so -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: You're next, by the way. Page 74 October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: All right. Then I'd like to make a motion and then discuss, if that's okay. I'd like to make a motion in support of the second recommendation from staff which is before us on the viewer. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: There's a motion. Is there a second? I :t: second it. ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay. 4 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Then there's discussion. 0 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Then the discussi on i ,, I would really tread very carefully about deciding that gene ato't could be something that could be considered not as imp ant · n any development going forward. So that's all. That~s tli e only thing that caught my eye. Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commission € Mo Daniel. • COMMISSIONER McDANl : ~eah, I have a question for Mr. Bosi, if I might. And this is --it's a two-part ~e stion. When a development comes to you, a property @wncn Gomes to you and wants to do a development, is there consu t tion with our Housing Department about the --about the type of ,,o us1ng that's included in it, the implementations 0 the uses, the incentivizations that could be provided to that evijroper in order to incentivize this need that is being purported for our community? Is our Housing Department consulted in this proce s . Rl . B ~SI: Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director. ~n we have a request for a pre-application meeting, we will as l< t e type of development that they're seeking if there's any incentive base that they're looking for additional density . Anything that would relate to housing, then Housing is brought into the conversation. So we do a process of prescreening the pre-application process to try to figure out which appropriate departments and divisions should be Page 75 October 9, 2018 involved in the early-on conversation. So we try to identify those early on. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: One of my thoughts, Mike, that I had when someone comes to us, we've got a Housing Department that technically could be consulted with with regard to the housing that's being provided, where it falls within the AMI and the average price for availability and affordability in relationship to No. 2, hich is the one we're, in fact, on, what incentives could be, in fac t , :g r mvided to that particular developer to provide for housing for <le v el p,mentally disadvantaged or for veterans or for those of age and 1l1e like. This seems to me to make more sense that w e --as opposed to having the Housing Department go out and hyp@ hecate incentives that could be --I say "hypothecate." I don't mea n that disrespectfully. But to grab at potential incentives, why woulan't --wouldn't it be better that we came back with an analysis from tli e Housing Department as to what any particular developer is going to provide within a project and then incentives that come along thal could be enhanced to help meet these needs that the Housing Me _ artment's continually managing? MR. BOSI: Well, those all would be individual one-offs . COMMISSIONER Mc ANIEL: Right. MR. BOSI: · think what they're asking for is to set --to identify some set develoy mel}t relief identified within the code that could be pre-prescr·bed, meaning that they wouldn't have to be one-off. You wouldn't haMe to evaluate these and bring them to the Board on an indiv✓i ual b a"sis. tnjflk what they're proposing is to identify some development reg:til t ory relief that if you're --if you're moving forward with a com onent of affordable housing, here's your options of relief that you could contemplate. So I think that's what they're asking for. Instead of having one-offs, this would be kind of the repository for where those Page 76 October 9, 2018 development reliefs could be sought, and then they could probably pick and choose like a le cart. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: So it's more of a menu that could be provided to a developer of incentives. But it is Housing Department requisite for that? I mean --because the Housing ~ Department's the one we're going --we are currently relying o in order to ascertain the global community need and availabili!X thereof, and individually the one-offs, as you refer to them, are a arti @n of the aggregation of the entire housing component. MR. BOSI: And they would --Housing would eome live in our world. They would come live in our world, come O"¼€' to 609/610 where we host the Development Services Advi (D ry Council, it's the building industry, and we would have thos ~on ersations to try to identify what other regulatory issues . w exe ea · they find the standards that could be maybe adjusted to pnf)~dffe t1I at regulatory relief. So they would be living within Cirowth Management in terms of talking to the constituents that oo ul Gt best identify what regulatory reliefs really have legs ancl gain ;v alue. COMMISSIONER Nf ~DANIEL: Thank you, sir. CHAIRMAN SOL S: Commissioner Saunders, you're next. COMMISS. <9NER SAUNDERS: I just want to make sure, for the record, what the actual motion is. You've got a recommendation on the screen. I assume the motion is to approve that recommendation. COM .I S8 ONER TAYLOR: Yes. ,, OMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: And, Mr. Manager, there's notning r ou want to add to that? MR. OCHS: No, sir. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: All right. Then I'll support the motion. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Fiala. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes. Excuse me. Page 77 October 9, 2018 Average income includes, of course, the very wealthy as well as the very poor, right? Whether they earn that income or it comes in the form of wages, how is that calculated? MR. GIBLIN: The median income of the county is calculated using all sources of income: Passive income , investment income , a d wages. So that's all globally looked at for the entire county, and itt's currently $75,000 a year per household. COMMISSIONER FIALA: I see. And so that wo l : make a difference if they just --if they just averaged out the w, g s . Of course --well, anyway, I was just concerned with that. And the other thing I had to ask is, I've got a is l n ere of all of the apartment rentals that we have right now that I coulcl get, and this was 11,746 from the MLS, but right in the proces oibeing built right now are 4,019. Was that taken into considerat ·on when you figured how many we need? ~ MR. GIBLIN: Those are track e cl We're familiar with the 4,000 units that are in process right now . COMMISSIONER l ~~A: Okay. MR. GIBLIN: To date, two of those have gone through the approval process and are being built. The rents that are being charged or proposed to b e charged at those don't fall into the affordable categories, though. COMMI S:S I NER FIALA: So they're not being counted then; is that correct P Rl . G; BLIN: Not as affordable. ~elJ½MISSIONER FIALA: I see. Okay. Okay. Thank you. OHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Taylor. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Just briefly. Mr. Giblin, where do you get the --who decides the median income in Collier County; is that your office? MR. GIBLIN: No, ma'am. The federal government, the Page 78 October 9, 2018 Department of Housing and Urban Development calculates that on a yearly basis. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Thank you very much. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Very good. If there's no other discussion, there's a motion and a second. ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: To? ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: To adopt this recommendation te> d irect staff to review regulations and develop Land Development Code amendments that will provide development relief to cei:ta1 9 residential land-use applications that voluntarily provide a portion frf their units as housing that is affordable. ~ All in favor, say aye. • , COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: A yl~- COMMISSIONER FIALA: ~o ved5 l response.) CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Aye. ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR!· ye. COMMISSIONER SAUNm RS: Aye. CHAIRMAN SOLIS : ~~ opposed? (No response .) CHAIRMAN SOL S: his one's approved. MR. GIBL : The third recommendation we'll discuss this morning is to a fr ow ffe,r commercial to residential conversions via the Hearing Examiner. The purpose, again, is to increase certainty in the development -f 0cess for the conversion of existing commercially zoned~ITo etty to residential that includes housing that's affordable. This is a kend that we're seeing in the private sector now. Again, you recently heard an item in Pine Ridge Commons of the private market attempting to do this. We've heard other about Courthouse Shadows and other big-box retail strips that have failed may be looking to take advantage of this. Commercial zoning is widely considered to be one of the most Page 79 October 9, 2018 intensive land uses with residential likewise being considered one of the least intensive when you gauge it on noise, lighting, traffic generation, or et cetera. This recommendation would seek to increase the certainty and decrease the time in the approval process for developments seeking to downzone from existing commercial uses t o residential in exchange for those developments providing a po i0n @f their residential units as housing that is affordable. Historically, the vast majority of these requests hav !S eem approved by the Board of County Commissioners. T is pre cess would be limited to properties located in activity centers o ;.t at are commercially consistent by plan. It would develop clear guidelines that woui outline where and under what circumstances this would be all<:xwed. It would off er certainty while maintaining transparency . St apf would do a thorough review and hold each application t 0 tll e r e quirement of the code and, as an example, the Hearing Examiner M'Oli'.i d provide oversight to ensure these guidelines are followed ancl n~ighborhood compatibility is maintained. The Hearing ExamineF option is --that is one way this could be rolled out. There are se y eral ways you can direct us to roll this out. We thought invo ing the Hearing Examiner would be a good way to keep the --ke ttp t aije1 ve staff level. The benefits, again, are that it would increase certainty and promote inoln si on of housing that is affordable with clear guidelines that w ould ~ set by the Board. ~n 9 so our recommendation here is to develop a Growth Ma agement Plan and Land Development Code amendments that would increase certainty in the commercial to residential conversion process for developments that voluntarily provide a portion of their units as housing that is affordable. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Good. Any speakers that want to speak Page 80 October 9, 2018 directly to this one? Ms. Curatolo? MS. CURATOLO: For the record, Kathy Curatolo with Collier Building Industry Association. I just want to ensure that there's public/private engagement i~ conversation about this particular endeavor so that we get the p,ri:v2 at e sector involved in this process which, by the way, we agree w itfi . CHAIRMAN SOLIS: This would involve the DS1f ,co , ittee or--~~ MR. GIBLIN: Well, all Land Development C o e amendments go through DSAC, and it would go through the Ianni g Commission, and-- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: But also there MZ oul ' be some engagement like you've had in some of the other one i Ii the private sector, CBIA? ~~ MR. GIBLIN: Yes. .\.>' CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Oka~. W" es, ma'am. MS. MESSER: Good m ming, Commissioners. My name is Donna Messer, and I'm her representing the Collier Citizens Council. And I thought we were going to do this at the end. So I'm going to just comment quickl}? 0n some of the other things we've talked about. The Council --he Collier Citizens Council previously endorsed the recommen ations of ULI and the views that the proposals --as a vital step fa ~r el in addressing the needs of the housing needs of Collie G!oumty. W e all know the problems that a lack of affordable housing ca es in terms of recruiting teachers, firefighters, businesses, and other workers, not to mention the challenges confronting our seniors. The housing plan presented today represents continued process in bringing the community together in a market-oriented fashion. In our view, the critical elements focus on three key areas . We Page 81 October 9, 2018 talked about changes to density and increasing the allowable density to 16 units per acre or greater in some cases, as in CRAs, will allow the economics of affordable housing to occur by mitigating land and development cost. Density increases in many areas also allow for a better mixing of population segments, including seniors and the yo ng. When done in transit corridors, this allows for increased utili~0n of existing infrastructure. Secondly, commercial to residential conversions, alle , ing expedited and streamlined commercial to residential c0n¥eFsions, especially along the north/south corridors. This wou d have several benefits including allowing people to live close to 0rk and encouraging the use of public transport, creating m ixea.-income areas. And, finally, we talked a little bit abottt allowing regulatory relief not only for specific land-use application , e sur ing some units are available for seniors, veterans, and s~e <>iar-needs housing, but also in terms of assessing impact fees for suc h residential units. In sum, we are encouraged y the staff recommendations. Thank you for your time. And e encourage you to adopt all these proposals. Thanks. CHAIRMAN SOL S: hank you. Okay. Commissioner Fiala. COMMISSIONE R FIALA: Yeah. I like the idea of combining commercial an8 residential in properties. I think that's a great thing . But what alli0ut "f you --most of these things are like in activity centers , an if you increase the density to 26 units per acre versus w h ate ver: that density would be called for, now you're going to have so e t errific traffic generated in areas that are already filled with traffic, and our intersections are tough . Can that be adjusted to be a rate that could be --could accommodate the roads and traffic in that area? MR. GIBLIN: The recommendation before you in this item does Page 82 October 9, 2018 not address densities above current levels. It lives within our current -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay. That's a good answer. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: It's switching one for the other. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay, good. So that's a good answer. ~ And then I also had some gentleman stop me, and I could ' t eU you who he was even, but he said --you know, he said, what k ind of housing are you trying to incentivize? And I said, well, )J 0tt 1mow, housing for people that can't afford it right now. And Sc)id, but --he said, what are the businesses asking for? I said, well, h ey're asking for skilled labor. They're asking for education an o fo h. He said, are you building any housing for tl1 o ·e? He said, I don't see that you are. And as long as you don't, they're going to --people are going to keep saying we don't ha f e an~ af f0 rdable housing when, indeed, they didn't categorize what the-_)f r e-talking about, and that's usually coming from the businesses , lie said. So I'll just add that. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commi ssioner McDaniel. COMMISSIONER McD 1EL: Yes. Cormac, during your presentation you made a comment about our regular approval of conversion of commerci 1 to residential and then alleged that it is a downzone. It's no always going to be a downzone. And my e once , "with regard to this --I'm all about providing incentivization. I' all about providing more certainty. But my question is, is m ore in line with the --to the County Attorney, and that is, ar€ w;e g _ tng to be --are we going to be allowing for these co ve.i s1 _9ns by right? MR. KLATZKOW: Under our local Collier law, it takes four votes of the Board of County Commissioners to rezone property, okay. So this idea that we're going to do it administratively isn't going to work, unless you want to start changing your special act. Now, if you want to do an LDC amendment that makes it as of Page 83 October 9, 2018 right, it gives certain commercial properties the right to convert to residential under a certain process. In essence, you would be rezoning it all at once, and at that point in time, yes, it would be administrative. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: So the --necessarily there's no reason to be doing this. It's going to require a 4-1 vote, supermajor·ty. There's no reason for our Housing Department to be moving o~er into this arena. MR. KLATZKOW: You could do this one of two wa~s. Your present way in which the Board of County Commissio ers hears all applications and makes a decision based on that parties lar property in that particular community. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: With in~ut f rom our Housing Department as to the impacts of the implications of the development. Forgive me for interrupting. • MR. KLATZKOW: Yes, sir. 0 tne'other way to do it, which is --what Cormac's getting at is, okay; ins ead of taking these to the -- through the process, including 1~€ Rlanning Commission, the Board of County Commissioners, t@ cr€ate certainty in this, in essence, rezone these properties all at once a d so it's as of right. CHAIRMAN SOLS: ssentially included in all the PUDs all at once. MR. KL~'IZK:@W: Well, whichever properties you wanted to do this to, if you ant to limit this to the activity centers or -- CHAIREi~N SOLIS: Right. Rl . '. ATZKOW: Whichever ones you limit it to, they would the -, on ;t going-forward basis, much like a PUD, have the right to the c ange the zoning from commercial to a residential mixed. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Without a hearing? MR. KLATZKOW: There would be no hearing. At that point in time, there is no hearing, and there would be no need for the Hearing Page 84 October 9, 2018 Examiner to do anything. This is as of right. MR. GIBLIN: And I would just add that some of the criteria that we might be able to build into it would be that that traffic analysis and those other impacts be studied up front and that it only apply in those instances where traffic is less on the residential side as opposed to t e existing commercial. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner McDaniel, are yo - COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'm done, yeah. Just -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I was just going to make a CQ1l1ffient, and then Commissioner Saunders' light is on. Again, you're just asking for a recommendation t o go ahead and move forward and start developing what the parameters and criteria for this would be, and we will then be looking t those very, very closely. MR. GIBLIN: Correct. • CHAIRMAN SOLIS: That's wlta t w,.e're talking about so, I mean, I would like to flesh this out some mo e myself, because I think there is some potential here for incenti izing the kind of housing that we're talking about. It was one f t e vecommendations that the ULI made. So I would support it i --in order to get it to the next level so that we can really look into t e details. Whether or not the Hearing Examiner ends ur, eing the one hearing it is --you know, I think we have to look a tbe d o/tails. Com issiQner Saunders. COM . I S8 ONER SAUNDERS: This is a question for the Counts. tto ey, and you may have addressed this. I was talking to MP. B; 1\~ns on another topic, and I may have missed this. But we have the s,ge cial act that requires a supermajority vote to change zoning. MR. KLATZKOW: Yes, sir. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: And that has --there's been efforts over the years to do away with that, and we've resisted that. When I was in the legislature, there was an effort by some county Page 85 October 9, 2018 commissioners, this was a long time ago, to do a repeal of that special act. And I believe that that special act has really resulted in some very excellent zoning and development throughout Collier County. It requires a supermajority vote of the Board. That's difficult to get. ~nd so developers have been very willing to make concessions, proYi de additional public benefits, set aside more land, that sort of thing, knowing that they have to get four votes. If we eliminate that as it relates to this particular issue, I'm not sure if that's the right policy decision to make. Now, if you have the right type of criteria nd traffic situations are --you know, the traffic analysis meets approlV al, I don't think that there's a problem with those types of thing , coming back to the Board. So I don't have a problem with staff t a~ing a look at this, but when it comes back, I'm going to hav e to really seriously consider whether or not we should eliminate t Hat type of requirement on those types of conversions. MR. KLATZKOW: ~e ~. And I would just note, this is --once you do this, you set the switch so that you've now created this vested right to convert. Should circumstances change and you no longer want this, you can't do that. This is a one-way switch. CHAIRMJ\N S0 LIS: But somebody would have to have relied upon it in -- MR. ~1\i fZKOW: On a going-forward basis -- ,, H ~I AN SOLIS: --going forward basis. M~. KLATZKOW: --people will be relying on this, yes. QOMMISSIONER TAYLOR: They're going to say "we relied CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Well, there has to be some actual reliance on it. They have had -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Financial initiative . Page 86 October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I think what the County Attorney is saying, and correct me if I'm wrong, but if we create this right, make this change as it relates to these conversions, then down the road decide that we don't like what we've created and try to uncreate that, then we create a Bert Harris situation. ~ MR. KLATZKOW: On a case-by-case basis, you could. ~ Commissioner Solis is right; initially you would not because 1liere was no investment-based expectations, but as the years go on,llld Vhese properties turn over, they become vested rights. ~ ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: So this is your i:1ght of expectation? MR. KLATZKOW: Yes. I bought this pr@perty with a certain bundle of rights. This is what I could do. l~ ou're going to take away some of these rights, you have to coippe sat ~ · t for me. COMMISSIONER SAUNDB S : ~nd that's the Bert Harris legislation -- MR. KLATZKOW: Yes, -s N COMMISSIONER lt~M -Q>R: Okay. COMMISSIONER Si4DNDERS: --comes into play. CHAIRMAN SOL S: Commissioner Taylor. COMMISS, <9NER TAYLOR: This is --this recommendation is certainty, speed, all tJrose things, which is very important to development. So pe:rfi apS' if it passes --and I am going to support this --we can talk a out i w e decide that, yes, we want to be the final body, that there is se me kind of mechanism built in this that it doesn't necessarily ha e t 0 go through the length of time that other developments do. Not that e shortchange, but the most important thing is --the most important thing is make sure it's right, then get it to us. And if that's possible, I don't know, but that would help with this certainty, get it to us, speed, all those things that are so important to the development Page 87 October 9, 2018 community. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. Any other comments? (No response.) CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Is there a motion? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Make a motion to approve tfi is recommendation as presented on our screen.

So you voted in support of the motion? , __ _ ~elJ½MISSIONER McDANIEL: It passed 3-2. OHAIRMAN SOLIS: 3-2. I thought I heard a -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah, I thought I heard another voice. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I spoke loud. I was too close to the mike. Forgive me . Page 88 October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: You were two. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Very good. MR. GIBLIN: All right. That brings us to No. 4 today, is to develop guidelines to incentivize mixed-income residential housing in future and redeveloped activity centers. ~ The purpose here is to encourage activity centers be built g y 1J 0 r redeveloped as true mixed-use areas offering a broad range or residential products and types and price ranges. Activity centers are located throughout the urban a e in Collier County where development is to be encouraged. Y ou see them on the map here, the Future Land Use Map. It's the reds uares on the map. Basically, anywhere there's a meeting of two m a·or roads is an activity center. There is no requirement right now t:h af activity centers include any residential units, and many hav Meea aeveloped as strip center, retail parcel --and outparcels without ~ residential component. Offering a mix of residential o tions within an activity center takes advantage of existing infrastrnc re, locating residential units near to employment centers, and r € ieves traffic by offering internal capture and shorter trip lengths.✓ Possible inc entives to achieve this would be reduced impact fees, greater densif es ~ streamlined approval process, concurrency waivers, lower preserve r e uirements, or the like. Our existing activity center model is 0 ¥ r 3tJ years old, and it's time to restudy it and do a reeva at io . Soiµe examples of what density looks likes, this is Mercato m i ed use development up in North Naples. This is what a mixed-use acti ity center could look like. This is 10 units to the acre in Botanical Place off Bayshore Road. This is what a 10-unit-per-acre development would look like. And then you have already mentioned this morning the proposed Davis Triangle development, and these are some of the Page 89 October 9, 2018 renderings that were submitted with that application process to show you what density could look like on major arterial roads. The benefits of this is that it would encourage residential uses near areas that already have existing infrastructure. And it would allow for housing that's affordable to be developed throughout th~ north/south corridors of the county. . ~ Again, our recommendation on this item is to direct stafr t0 reevaluate the activity center zoning to modernize and ens0urage the inclusion of residential units for developments that volu f<:J;Fily provide a portion of their units as housing that's affordable ~ .. That's it. ~~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Very good. Any speaRers that would like to speak to this issue? Mr. Hartman. Anyoe,jse after Mr. Hartman? Okay. • ~V MR. HARTMAN: Good momiHg, . ommissioners. My name is Doug Hartman. I live in Lely. I've be~n a resident for the last 10 years. I also serve on the Seniof 8'.Glv isory Committee and a few other activities. I've got a number of concerns. My big concern I want to address last in the limited time I ave. But with respect to this specific, you know, item, ite --I guess they have as E, we have a concern on the senior side. We dev~loped the concept of activity centers, as Cormac indicated, man ~ears ago, and it's time to reexamine that. I would hke to support his suggestion of reexamination and use an ex. m le o express the concern that I have. The intersection of Route ~ l nd 951 on the way down to Marco was just rebuilt at some considerable expense. It is an activity center on that map. For seniors, it is not particularly friendly. We have a 14-lane-wide highway making an intersection with a 12-lane highway with an average speed of almost 60 miles an hour for traffic moving through that area. We have the Publix in one comer. We have the drugstores Page 90 October 9, 2018 on two other comers. If you're going to utilize that as an activity center where seniors might be encouraged to live, there is no way that they can get from one item to the other without endangering their life. I couldn't make it across the 14 lanes in the time that the light permits. Certainly nobody that has any mobility problems could not (sic) do ·1 as well. "\ So I think we need to look at the question of collocating ae.t ivity centers and what are similar to the village centers that are CQn ~eived of in some of the other Growth Management Planning. W -~@ ed to be very, very cognizant of the limitations on mobility fg~ eniors if we're going to encourage them to live in an area, and don't: think we've done so. But now let me tum to my broader con cern about the whole approach that is involved here. I was ac ti e n a number of the subcommittees that worked with the st alceli olders when we started this process and am fairly familiar with ho w we got to where we are. I would point out that the , are a number of areas that we could be looking at that are best f)f o i es in other communities that are totally outside the scope o ~ w hat we're looking at. Let me give you an example. We have a housing stock in the county of 200,000 units. If you accept the data that's included in the census data that's be ~n put forward by the U.S. Census Bureau, some 8-or 9,000 of n Q.e houses are occupied by a single individual. We have some 0,~eJO bedrooms that are empty in this community at this time. , __ _ ~y can't we put together a program jointly, private, public peF a _ s, this needs to be examined, perhaps by the housing people, to develop a co-housing program. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Sir, I'm sorry, your time is up. MR. HARTMAN: Yes. Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank you. If there's anyone else, please Page 91 October 9, 2018 come forward so we can expedite the process here. MR. MILLER: Mr. Chair, I do still have, like, six registered speakers left. We are starting to get into people that have not registered or people that have come up a second time now. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. ~ MS. SOUKUP: Sorry, I didn't use my three minutes, so is h at okay? MR. MILLER: I understand. I was just advising the Cnair. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yeah, you onl na e a minute and a half. ~" MS. SOUKUP: Thank you. I'll go quicklj3 . w' I really only had one really quick point to m aRe. I'm Sheryl Soukup, again, a member of the Aff ordabht Mousing Advisory Committee. • Regarding this one specificall~, wanted to just say that the incentivizing of mixed income is a i eally important tool in the policy toolbox, and I want to ask you t0 cease accept the recommendation to move forward and explon~ the · e opportunities. In order to attract deve opers to create affordable housing, we have to give them some · ncentives, and I think one of the things I wanted you to knew about the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee's di scuss id ns and what I've heard as I've gone to the communitx meetings is that people don't want housing that's affordable concentrate in one area of the community, and this is a very important way t at ~o could spread affordable housing opportunities across the communj ty in a way that's planned in advance. So that's it. Thank you CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank you. (Applause.) CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Anyone else? (No response .) Page 92 October 9, 2018 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. Commissioner McDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. I find it interesting that -- well, and it's good that it's been pointed out that we're 30 years remiss in reviewing our activity centers, but I'm hesitant in giving direction to our Housing Department to do the reevaluation of those zoning an cl the encouragements that are necessary other than from an adviso~ '(> capacity to Mr. Bosi. Quit texting while I'm talking. 0 I'm concerned with giving direction to our Housing epartment to do the reevaluation of these activity centers. I w0u ~refer that it be done with your consultation, with your reco €ndat · ons of things that can, in fact, be accomplished to assist with these ousi ng needs. But I'm not in favor of giving direction to the H'0 using Department to do that. • MR. GIBLIN: And, sir, that i s our JS ecommendation is that you give direction to staff in general tlwougli the County Manager, and he can assign it to whichever staff. COMMISSIONER McD 1EL: Okay. That's --I cannot support the current recommendation as it is up there, because it leads me down a path of reevalua ion of activity centers by the Housing Department with t ese encouragements for inclusionary residential units, develo ment, and the like. And I am in favor of review of the activity centers to be done by our Zoning and Planning Department with input fl[0 1l1 you, with input from our DSAC, with input from the private sect , t with regard to that but not currently as this is stipulated. M~. GIBLIN: Sir, maybe I wasn't clear. That is exactly what the rec0 endation is. It would be anticipated that Growth Management Department would head this initiative up, just like all the other major restudies. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Okay. That's not what it says. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: You can make a motion. Page 93 October 9, 2018 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Do you want to make --yeah. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Make a motion. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I make a motion to deny the request or deny the recommendation. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: There's a middle area. Direct st aff to work with Mr. Bosi. Direct the County Manager to make ~ tfta t Mr. Bosi's department is -- MR. OCHS: When you're directing the staff, you're ire ~ting me. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Right. MR. OCHS: Whether you --so if you want to ire et me to send it to a specific division, I'm happy to do that. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Then I'H i ect --I'd like to make a motion to deny this particular pres ~n ted recommendation and, if you wish, I can make another reco pnnencfa ti,0 n with regard to the activity centers. ~ . COMMISSIONER FIALA: Pll second that. Isn't this what Kathy Curatolo was talking about was inc lnsionary zoning? COMMISSIONER McD 1EL: Well, it does have the word "inclusion" in it, but it's no inclusionary --this doesn't necessarily -- my understanding is --this is too broad --this is too broad of a direction, of a re Go mmendation for staff, so --and, again, there's far more --if we' e 30 y ~ars remiss in looking at these activity centers within our comm nity, there's far more than just the specifics with regard to v ffi luntary housing proportions to be accommodated. So I make a motion to deny the recommendation. ~el MMISSIONER FIALA: I'll second that. I" QOMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And I don't think it's our -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: There's a motion and a second. Any other discussion? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: The only point that I have to make with regard to that, I don't think it's our duty right now to be Page 94 October 9, 2018 fixing --we're here to review the housing plan and making a medium --Commissioner Taylor, you made a comment with a medium suggestion to adjust this on the fly. It's not --it's not where we want to be right now, so ... CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I'm going to vote agains tfi:a motion. I think --I agree with what you're saying in the sense t at if we take a look at activity centers, we need to look at it mon~ J obally than just as it relates to workforce housing or affordable nousing. So I think the alternative would be to direct stat fQ do as indicated on this recommendation but also to i Glu any other areas that need to be modernized in terms of those activify centers so at least we're looking at it more globally. So I'm going to vote against your motion, and I'll make the other motion . • CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commis~i0n ~r Fiala, your light is on. COMMISSIONER FIALA: o, tnank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Oka~. So there is a motion and a second to deny this recommendation t9r not approve the recommendation. All in favor, say aye. COMMISSIONER Mc ANIEL: Aye. COMMISS, <9NER FIALA: Aye. CHAIRMJ\N S0LIS: All opposed? Aye. COM .IS8 ONER TAYLOR: Aye. ,, OMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye. ~Pl,A IRMAN SOLIS: Okay. The motion fails 3-2. Oommissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Then I'll go ahead and make an alternative motion to accept this recommendation but to add to it that the County Manager will direct his departments to also kind of evaluate our activity center zoning and come back with whatever Page 95 October 9, 2018 recommendations you have to modernize that more globally but in addition to also this particular issue of having some incentives for workforce affordable housing. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I'll second that. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: There's a motion and a second. Discussion? Commissioner McDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: That's in complete contradiction to what you just voted for. I mean, you're --b~ approving this particular --and with all due respect, si F, .. ~ 1ust --what you just got done saying could have been accomplish€c½ t, denying this recommendation, and they --the staff would~a~e come back to us with a further --with a more refined recommenli ation of what to do within these activity centers. But you voted against the reC0 11Jffi@1tdation --this --you voted against the motion to deny this partic1.1lar recommendation and then came back and -- COMMISSIONER SAUN::.....----s..c.-RS: I came back with a motion to accept the staff recommendatiQn with some added language to it to accommodate the issue that ~ou were raising, which is activity centers need to be evaluated mo e globally than just for workforce housing. So we're going to ~ome back with a combination of things, I believe. And the)j may c,rl ly --you know, staff may come back and say the only change we need to make to activity centers is this one, and that's fine, but I wan staff to take a look at activity centers in general as well as the s eciftc issue. ~elJ½MISSIONER FIALA: I'll just tell you, honestly, my ee ings, I worry about all the traffic in those --okay. I'm sorry. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: But, again, the staff is going to do their analysis, and they're going to bring forward recommendations which we will then vet once we know what they are. So we will be talking in great detail, I think, about the traffic and how it's going to work. Page 96 October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yeah, that's scary. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. There is a motion by Commissioner Saunders, a second by Commissioner Taylor. Any other discussion? (No response.) ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: All in favor, say aye. ,, '\ ~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Aye. 0 ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Aye. ,t, COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye. ~,,_. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye. ~ ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Any opposed? ~ ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye. 1 • , CHAIRMAN SOLIS: That's approved f'.t.-1. MR. GIBLIN: All right. Connpissioners, that brings us to No. 5 on the list today. It is to develop a Hff)<Se . s to designate certain strategic opportunity sites and allo ~ f<ilt increased density, and this is where we would be talking abon gteater than 16 units to the acre, which is your current ma~imum The vision of the strat gic opportunity sites would be that the Board of County Comm· ssioners would designate these sites in advance. Again, t is was a recommendation of the ULI panel. The map on the sc Feen is not a map of where we think strategic opportunity sites should be 10 ated. It is just simply a representation that once they are selected, tney are put on a map, and they are well known to the pub lie a ea a of time. <9 n of the main recommendations of the ULI study was that we sn0ul , allow for greater densities than 16 units to the acre in order to miti ate high land and development costs. The Board would designate strategic opportunity sites where higher densities would be encouraged similar to the activity center concept but at densities in the 20-to 25-unit-per-acre range. Page 97 October 9, 2018 Examples of a strategic opportunity site may be a new corporate headquarters campus, a regional commercial center, or an institution of higher learning. And the strategic opportunity sites would be designated in the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map in order to reduce any future negative NIMBY opposition to higher ~ development in those areas in the future. '1> Again, a tour of what density looks like. This is the N a~les Square development located in downtown Naples. It is built out a 3 units to the acre. The benefits is that it would increase certaintx ~ re H e cost, create a jobs and housing balance, reduce infrastructu € ne€as e sewhere, and fuel economic development. So, again, our recommendation on this · tern is to direct staff to develop Growth Management Plan and lS an Development Code amendments that will create a proc€s fo the creation and designation of strategic opportunity sites allowin for increased density above 16 units to the acre for developme ,l; that voluntarily provide a portion of their units as housing that iS a tor able. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yery good. Any speakers that would like to address this particulat recommendation from staff? (No respons.e ~ CHAIRMJ\N S0 LIS: Okay. Commissioner McDaniel, you were first. COM . IS8 ONER McDANIEL: Yeah, I'm in opposition of this recommendation as well. I don't care for the designation in advance. I thi~ it BJ eates an opportunity for additional by-right zoning that, in ao t sf arts --that, in fact, occurs. I'm not in opposition of, on a case-by-case specific process, meeting concurrency, meeting compatibility, meeting with consistency, having gone through the neighborhood process. I'm not opposed to giving consideration to higher-density projects. That's how Page 98 October 9, 2018 --that's how we assist with housing affordability. By allowing for more units, we have an opportunity to reduce the per-unit land cost. But by us going --you going through a motion to designate particular areas and us approving particular areas where those could, in fact, be done without the specificity that comes at that particular point in ime, no. 1 \~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Fiala? ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes. I'm sure that all of ~ol!l have received the same type of mail I have. We hear a lot fn~m 9ur community who is saying enough is enough. Don't k~e12 utting people in here because we can hardly move ani _ or . Why can't you resist that and, you know, let our community gr@~ at a nice level of growth. Actually, most of them want to st0p, it at all. COMMISSIONER McDANIE~: , ig , t. COMMISSIONER FIALA: ~top a tJ: of that. But, anyway, I just --you know, everything we're talking is increasing density. And I don't 1Mn ow how that --how good that is. I just don't feel comf ortabl w · tlf .that at all. And in many cases, tliei might not even be able to know it's coming until it's startin to lSe built because we might just approve it administratively, depending on what the issue is. So I feel enr u'JI'comf ortable with this one, as well as a couple of the other ones. hank you. CHAIREi~N SOLIS: Commissioner Saunders. ,, OMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: We're going to take a look at pr~ei el~ what staff comes back to recommend. So by directing staff to ro(Zeed with this, I don't think we're --we're not making any deci ions. I want to go back to the issue of the units per acres. When we first discussed this, I think ULI was talking about 26 units per acre, if I'm not mistaken. Page 99 October 9, 2018 MR. GIBLIN: They were looking at 25 to 30. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Twenty-five to 30 units per acre. And I was one of the guys that said that's way too much. I think I've kind of done a 180 on that. I'd like to see what --can you put that picture up that had 30 units per acre? ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: I think that's in East Naples;'\~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No. ~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: That's Naples Squ€lr:e. t's over on Goodlette, isn't it? ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: I know where it i . COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So I think i ecting staff to look at the potential for the 26 units per acre ma , es some sense. I know Commissioner Taylor had mentione0 hese low-income projects in big cities, and I just --I wanted to .see li ind of densities they had in some of these big projects. A n et , Bt3/heve it or not, there's some of those projects that have densities o 8 87 dwelling units per acre. So we're not talking about a Northeas £hicago or New York City type housing project at 26 units Pi en aere. So I support staffs re e0mmendation. And I'd support looking at a slightly higher density, up to 26 units per acre. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Taylor. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah. And, again, I don't have a problem at all l Qoking at it, but I would encourage everybody to drive by the Napl s $quare and decide whether you want this . I mean, it's rising as h o enix from the ashes, and it has been ashes. It's laid --it's been --t9ere's not been a lot going on there for many, many years. So just ta e a look at it and think about it, whether this is the kind of den ity we want in specific areas . That's a great example. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: It's not affordable. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: A great example for you in real-time to see density and what may come. That's what I mean. Not Page 100 October 9, 2018 that it's a great idea. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner McDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'm going to make a motion to deny the recommendation. COMMISSIONER FIALA: I'll second. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: There's a motion and a second. A n · discussion? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And the comment is, Commissioner Saunders, you heard me in my conversatlo ,, at the front, there's a lot more to it than our Housing Departmen e;v l ating the densities and such. I think our Housing Depart ent @ ght to be an integral part of our Planning and Zoning Department's advice to us with regard to the particular projects that ave coming. There's way more to these intersec ti@ns a v these properties that have to do with the overall impact te our ~ommunity, and by us in advance going out and designating areas where we think that this could be accomplished provides for a Ge ain amount, I think, of by-right issues again. And I can't sug pori --I like the idea, again, of considering site specific on<S e we've met the three Cs, increased density, but, you know, :there's such a combining --a need for a combination. You've talKed, ~ommissioner Taylor, about increasing density. Commissioner Eiala, you've received the same thing. And why aren't we --why a e~t we giving consideration to redirection of already veste, eal p r operty rights? Why aren't we --we can utilize those for be efits j'e)r the overall community, for benefits for our watershed, for be efi t s for the vested property rights while we're giving consideration to increasing particular densities as long as we're meeting with concurrency and compatibility and the like and not, at the same time, increase the overall population of Collier County at its buildout. So I can't -- Page 101 October 9, 2018 (Applause.) COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Look at that. Somebody liked what I said. What are all those orange shirts for? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: They're red. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Or red shirts, I'm sorry. ~ UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Opposition. I '\ ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: So there's a motion and a second~ You know, I'm troubled somewhat by this kind of p r€Mesi gnation of areas but, you know, I think --again, we're recommen i,,n g that staff bring these things forward. I hate to shut the door on semething that may lead to something that would be useful beeaus , ~o know, something --some discussions that this particular recommendation leads to might lead to a good idea. And while I'm skeptical as to wp etb:€ <9r ot at the end of the day I could vote for it, but I don't --und:erstanrling I don't want to create needless work for staff, I just --I dIDn' feel comfortable just shutting the door on something that migli lead to some beneficial discussion. So I would be in fav @F 0 moving this forward. But the motion is to deny the specific reco e dation, and there's a second on that motion. So all in favor,. ·ay aye. COMMISS, <9NER McDANIEL: Aye. COMMISS IONER FIALA: Aye. CHAIRM N SOLIS: Those opposed? Aye. ,, OMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye. ~elJ½MISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye. OOMMISSIONER TAYLOR: So I'd like to make a motion to support the staffs recommendation. My colleague, our chairman, certainly discussed it so eloquently, and I would agree with him. We don't know until we look into it, but I have reservations about increasing density. And so --but I don't want to close the door, so I Page 102 October 9, 2018 would like this to go forward for staff to come back to us. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I'll second that motion. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. And discussion? Commissioner McDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. And I just can't believ e that you believe the door's shut. I can't believe that you're cons:. eri mg or you're giving consideration to the fact that a good idea isn'·t g ing to come before us that isn't going to be vetted. That's not t1.1f. i;,remise of my recommendation for denial of this particular --of thi~ ~ recommendation by our staff. So I'm -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Well, you're certainl~ welcome to your opinion. That's what it's for. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Y ea6, I certainly am, and I'm just --I'm sharing with you my particul r inion. I don't want you to --I don't want you to interpret whai I'm saying as the closing of the door. COMMISSIONER TA YL®R.: You mean that -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS : ell, it might not be a closing of the door, and I understand what you e aying, but we have these recommendations comi g from staff to move things forward. If we don't move it fo rw rd now, then it's going to have to come back in some other context, and when would that happen? COMMI S:S I NER McDANIEL: On a case-by-case basis when our Zoning ano Planning Department has actually reviewed the three Cs, as oonttnually refer to, and makes recommendations to us with co sultai ion of our Housing Department as to whether or not there is a l 111 ent of the portion of the need of the housing necessities of Colli er County. And by --and again -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Understood. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: So we certainly -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I disagree. Page 103 October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Well, there you are. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: And so there's a motion and a second. All in --or did we already vote on that one? I'm lost. MR. OCHS: No. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: We haven't voted on that. ~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Commissioner Taylor rna <tf€. another motion. I don't understand. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: There's a motion and second fi Qm Commissioner Saunders, there was discussion by Commi ffeioner McDaniel, and now we're ready for a vote. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Can yo rep €.at tli e motion? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah. I w ant o --would you read the motion back, please. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: an Just, for clarification. I think the motion is approve the rec.0mmew ation that's on our screen. COMMISSIONER McDANIJi C. You already did that. COMMISSIONER TA Y L®R.: No, we didn't. COMMISSIONER McD 1EL: By voting against my motion to deny it 3-2, you approved i~. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: That doesn't mean a thing. That just means our motion failed. It doesn't mean the other one passed. COMMIS:S I NER McDANIEL: Okay. Gotcha. COM . I S8 ONER SAUNDERS: So my understanding is that them ti 0n i s1'to approve the recommendation that's on the screen. ~elJ½MISSIONER McDANIEL: I misunderstood. Forgive me. I thoug t by denying the motion to deny it passed, this one, so, gotcha. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Am I correct on my understanding? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes, that's correct; yes. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: So there's a motion and a second. No Page 104 other discussion. All in favor, say aye. Aye. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Any opposed? COMMISSIONER FIALA: (No verbal response.) COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Aye. October 9, 2018 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: The recommendation's approYe d 13 -2. MR. GIBLIN: All right, Commissioners. That bi;in ,,us to the last of our recommendations to you. Number 6 is to ~rowide an increase in density in the Community Redevek~ me t 'Agency areas and along transit corridors. The purpose is to incentivize develop m nt in these areas and along major transit corridors where ipfras t eture already exists. Locating housing that's affordable 0 n m a·or transit corridors and in CRA areas was a recommendation o he ULI study. Allowing housing near transit reduces trip lengths a traffic from employees commuting from further away. And CRAs typically n e ed additional incentives to increase their property values and enc 0urage new development. Again, what density looks like. This · s 6.85 units to the acre. This is in Bristol Pines off Collier Boulev at d. "!;his would be something that would be in the seven-unit-per-acre category that we'd be talking about with this incentive. 1 au increase certainty, it would incentivize di f;fi e It-to-develop areas and, again, it would locate housing that's affordable on existing infrastructure. The recommendation is to direct staff to work with your CRA advisory boards to develop Growth Management Plan and Land Development Code amazements that will allow for increased density and other incentives in the CRAs and along transit corridors for Page 105 October 9, 2018 developments that voluntarily provide a portion of their units as housing that's affordable. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Any speakers that wish to speak on this particular subject? Yes, ma'am. Anyone else? MR. MILLER: Mr. Chair, as she's making her way up here , understand this is our last of our recommendations. Do you want after the speaker, just to call the remaining speakers, or how d0 ~ou want to do this? 0 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yes, if they want to speak :tBJs is your -- this is it. ~" MR. MILLER: We will do that then. ~ ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Anyone else? 1 ~ : MR. MILLER: I'll just --as soon as 1 fi nd out who this is --your speaker after this young lady will be .Bam: ose h Jackson. MS. KUNGLE: My name is JeaD ,ngle. I'm a resident of East Naples, and I'm also on the East Na:R les Civic Association board. I believe that the CRA --I Ha~e a little bit --just a couple sentences. There's no "avoid concentration" wording anywhere that I've seen in any of the presentatio s, which is a state mandate and should be included in all o the components. The concentration should include all market aff Gr a able as well as the HUD approved, and the CRA is one of those pla(S es, and along the corridors, because it will be the U.S. 41 East Trail . ltli ere' 3 7 components to the presentation. None of it included w h at i s 0Jl the books now for details and what these changes/additions o for the end goal. Staff approvals: Today we know who the staff is, but we do not know who the staff is in the future. Thank you. MR. MILLER: Your next registered speaker is Bart Joseph Page 106 October 9, 2018 Jackson. He'll be followed by Susan Orschell. MR. JACKSON: Thank you for the opportunity to address you. I'd like to begin with a simple question: Is affordable --is it my understanding that affordable housing shall not exceed 30 percent of one's income? Is that correct? ~ MR. GIBLIN: That's the definition. ,, '\ ~ MR. JACKSON: That's the definition. ~ With that definition in mind, I'm sure that if you pollehl most of the people here, especially those retired, and ask them to g~v e you a breakdown, a fiscal breakdown of their expenses pei: month, you'll find that most ofus exceed 30 percent of our income eac onth. So is housing affordable for us? Possibly not. Does that make sense? 0.- MR. GIBLIN: Correct. ~ MR. JACKSON: Okay. Oka)q o "wrote to the Naples Daily News about this issue of affordable h Msing, and I think one of the problems that we have in East/South Naples with affordable housing is as such: Affordable hous · ng isJ:I ot necessarily acceptable housing. Example being, if the schoQls in East/South Naples are not of the caliber that parents requ· re for their children, policemen, nurses, service workers, l aon't think you're getting a lot of people that want to move to, quote, ' aff~tdable housing." The schools have to be in line with the housin that's being offered. I hope that --that you agree with that. ltli ot , er thing I'd like to say, Mr. McDaniel, I loved all your comment s today. What I'd like to see you do more of, I'd like to see you use the category of a variance more often in some of these issues you addressed today. I've heard no discussion of the use of a variance. A variance is a simple application. It allows one who's trying to seek a breaking of the law, if you will, to come forth with a variance. A variance is open to the public, is that correct, variance application? It's Page 107 October 9, 2018 a simple solution to allow an applicant to come forward, present their case, try to justify their application. It allows attendance by the general public, and then a variance can go through the process that it normally goes through, and it's either approved or denied. The other thing that's great about a variance is if it's denied, 1t~s denied. If it's approved, however, it stays with the property an , , lie land forever, so I think we need to keep that in mind. The other thing I'd like to talk about is affordability. 0 Affordability in general is based on one's income. And ifwe have income problems, that's going to lead to, obviouslY. o sing problems. I think one of the biggest problems you have he e i tHat employers don't pay enough. Right now unemployment's a a at-time low. This is a great opportunity for people to go out and leave the job that's not paying them enough and seek anothe/ joe. ~oes that make sense? The other thing we should com Gentrate on is for those that are veterans, those that are elderly, those that are disabled. I'd like to see you take a hard closer look at sur,si cli es. Subsidies allowed individuals to get into the spots that the~ ne€d to be with government intervention and with possibly higher ta~e . I'm not opposed to higher taxes rather than all of this develop ,ent you guys are talking about. Thank you. MR. MILL:&JR : Your next registered speaker is Susan Orschell. She'll be follo wed b ail Alio. MS. ORS CS ELL: Good afternoon, Commissioners. And, for the record, my name is Susan Orschell. And, again, I'll have the tremulous voice, and I apologize for that. I should have taken speech in school. m ·ust listening to the dialogue today, your evaluation of these endations. One thing that I've had concern about from the begi ing is the amount of or the lack of detail; how this is actually going to be implemented. There are a lot of colorful charts and so forth talking about comparison of rentals versus homeowner but still many, many questions about this. Page 108 October 9, 2018 As I've listened to the progress today, the one thing that worries me or one of the things that worries me is how citizen input and that of the BCC could be eliminated. I'm hoping as you go forward with your evaluation, you will keep yourself in the process. I think you're a very important part of that. ~ I do have to say I'm very concerned about the possibility orf1d1 e by-right approval because, as it was mentioned, if that's passe a , ·ts a bell that cannot be unrung. It's done. ,t, I kind of freak when I hear you-all talk about the ~~ 26-units-per-acre density. I've been here for a long time, and now if you can give me a Naples Square in my neighb0rho 0€1 , I will take that, I'd love it, but I just don't think that's kind of w Hat's going to come down the pike for me. So, again, all of these deals are f ritiG al ,. especially about the activity centers and strategic oppovtu n i~ si tes, and many of them relocated south of Golden Gate Park ™a'.Y and east of Goodlette, kind of in my neck of the woods. So I respectfully ask th€ # oard of County Commissioners to pursue all aspects and conse ~uences of the Community Housing Plan including changes to the LDC and Growth Management Plan before proceeding furth er w ith staffs recommendations. And thank you for your time toda . MR. IL E : Your next registered speaker is Gail Alio. She will be f oll @w ecl by Linda Jorgensen. S. A I?'.;IO: Hi. I just want to let you know that I just recently m @v ed tlp·wn to Naples, so I'm not long term. And what I have to say is '¼€!Y basic, really basic, not up high. Really down low. I want to talk about affordable housing/workforce housing which has become very confusing terminology. My annual salary for my first teaching job Upstate New York in 1976 was $7,684. I could not afford a one-bedroom apartment, pay Page 109 October 9, 2018 utility bills, upkeep a car, and pay my student loans, but somehow I made it works. No one built affordable housing for me. In 1979 my annual salary for my teaching position with the Board of Education, New York City, was a little over $10,000. I could not afford to live in New York City, but somehow I made it work, ana no one built affordable housing for me. As a young person I wa~~ looking to buy a home. I was looking to live in an area. In 1991 our family moved out to Long Island. Over t e next 20 years our property taxes more than doubled to over $10,Q0Q a year. We could not afford to move. Our housing costs were. oNer 40 percent of our combined salaries, but no one built aff oi able o sing for us. Over all of my 30-plus years of teaching n one I knew or met over all that time ever lived in affordable housin~ or a Habitat housing, not teachers, not firefighters, not police ffi~ers . (Applause.) ~ MR. MILLER: Your next registered speaker is Linda Jorgensen. She'll be followed by Lisa Lefkow. MS. JORGENSEN: ¥I". 1' e been asked to deliver a message from Dr. Lisa McGarity, wllo's the president of the Lely Golf Estates Homeowners Associatio , and she's unable to be here because of her teaching requirements. After reaehn g t , e executive summary regarding the Community Housing Devel0iq ment Plan, there are several items that are no less than appalhng. One, as a community, we should be incensed that our first t s on ers, teachers, and healthcare providers are included as a pa 0:tt~is plan. As a community, we must stand up to those re&RO , sible for salary and benefits for these professionals who are the pillars of our community. The fact that these highly skilled and trusted professionals are not compensated commensurate with their importance in our community is a disgrace, and we should all be ashamed. Page 110 October 9, 2018 Two, increasing the density of affordable housing units in greater than 16 per acre is troubling. Perhaps many of you here today are unaware, but Collier County is one of the three largest counties east of the Mississippi River. It is completely unnecessary to cram more units per acre in order to meet our affordable housing goals. ~ Many studies have concluded that increasing densities is not healthy and much less safe for residents who live in these aff oi:daole housing complexes. A review of current literature is absolute y warranted before this plan moves forward. I must ins is o ,, better conditions for our seniors, veterans, service workers, €1 special-needs community members. They deserve the dignify; oft e current standard, as lowering our standards is completeiw u ecessary and unacceptable in our community. Q Three, the distribution of aff ordabh~ otising in Collier County is grossly uneven. Certain areas like Eas Naples, Golden Gate City, and Immokalee are carrying such a higi 12roportion of the affordable housing that I personally hear e(0.ple say that they would not live in these areas because of the lligb: g ercentage of free and reduced lunches at the schools. The time is now to recognize the inequities that have emerged from our Collier growing pains and begin to diversify the entire county. This elitist atti _ de by some community members has been documented in interviews on local TV as people rather ignorantly proclaim tHai bey do not want affordable housing units in their neighMonho " . The attitude must come to an end immediately. In eJ osing, Collier County has a unique opportunity to be a model co unity of diversity, equality, and leadership in Growth Management. I would be so honored to be a part of a community that integrates all community members regardless of income level throughout our entire county. Our United States Constitution ensures equality for all of our citizens, and we are bound to uphold it. We Page 111 October 9, 2018 cannot do so by lower standards. We cannot achieve equality by continuing to place affordable housing units in districts that are already shouldering more than their share of the burden of growing pains. Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Your time's up. Thank you. MR. MILLER: Mr. Chairman, your final registered spea er ft1 this item is Lisa Lefkow. MS. LEFKOW: Good afternoon, Commissioners. for the record. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Are you wear-i n red today on purpose? ~ MS. LEFKOW: I'm delighted that everyb &ftyg t the message. Clearly, housing, access to housing tha'i is affordable is an important issue for our community. Our e~ · ous speaker spoke to that eloquently, that there should be ac G ss ac.i;oss the county in many different ways. What we're doing today is Gontinuing the conversation. So I appreciate so much that ~@u Ha:\le 'been open to so many of the recommendations by the c011nty housing staff. I hope that we will continue to have this dia ogue to seek alternative ways to incentivize all providers of h using across a spectrum of affordability. This is an issue not onl~ for lo w~income or low-wage earners in our community, but certainly f ot moderate income, for gap income, throughout the spectrum. a lier this year we heard from the Schulze Foundation who res -ond©cl with a community assessment survey and identified that liou~i g was the most important issue to members of this community across the board. It is essential that we take the time and really study the opportunities that are available to us. Having the ULI results and their vast body of information and experience to inform us is invaluable. So let's not treat that lightly. Page 112 October 9, 2018 Let's be cautious and careful in our consideration of opportunities that might move us forward and advance the challenge that we have here. We quickly set aside inclusionary zoning, and I understand that a mandate is very onerous and difficult to swallow, but I will share with you that the one opportunity that Habitat for Humanity had to bui cl a community, again, in an area that we would not normally be abl@ t fl afford to buy land, in North Naples, was a result of exactly that program. The developer was able to mitigate that affordable li ousing component by providing land that then was made availa e to Habitat for Humanity which now holds a showcase neighbor-0 0 0 d of Legacy Lakes. So I encourage you to just consider all of th e alternatives that we have before us. And there are more that m a~be t e housing staff has not yet provided clear direction. • So thank you for doing this har d w ofK that we might be a stronger, healthier community withJ a st able workforce. Thank you. item. MR. MILLER: That was 0 r fi nal registered speaker on this CHAIRMAN SOLIS : Y ery good. Thank you. Commissioner Fiala. And while y0u're clearing your throat, I just point out we're overdue for a a reak 'te5r our court reporter, so hopefully we can get through this las --is the court reporter okay? Can we finish? COM . I S8 ONER FIALA: Or do you want to go now? RiE C tlURT REPORTER: I'm okay. ~elJ½MISSIONER McDANIEL: She's not going to quit. OHAIRMAN SOLIS: She can say she needs a break, and we would take a break. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yeah, say it. THE COURT REPORTER: We can finish this item. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Let's finish. Page 113 October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay. Based on all that we've heard today, one of the things they talked about was the average income but --and all of these prices are based on one person living in a house, but it's seldom that there's just one person living in a house. We're basing it on one person's income, but there might be two people living the Fe or, you know, some kind of waitresses or waiters will double Uk) tot: their jobs, and they'll have two and three and four living in there , and I think -- COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Why don't you as Cormac that. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: You need ores ona . COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. MR. GIBLIN: The models and assump tions built into the plan use a --• COMMISSIONER FIALA: P ar€l on me? Say again. MR. GIBLIN: The models and a ssumptions that we use for the plan use a three-person householil w ith a total household income from all three people, or it coul ci be on;e person and two people not working or three people working. COMMISSIONER fl LA: Okay. You didn't make that clear, so thank you very much. Another t)robletn that we have in my section of town now, because we have the giant portion of affordable housing, we have a problem w itli the traffic going out of here in the morning. Some guy was g·:vun g , ~e commission --mentioned, I don't know, at the last m e eti n e-r something, saying there's so much traffic going out because the~'r all going to their jobs, and then there's so much coming back in as tHey come home at night. That's a problem, and he's trying to figure out how they can handle all of that and still build more. Now we're talking about --as I said before, we're talking about increasing density. And the third thing I wanted to say is they were talking a lot about Page 114 October 9, 2018 incentivizing but, you know, our development community has come to the bat and they've been building things without getting any incentives and without ever asking for anything and, as we see, 4,000 units building right here that are coming out of the ground, and I don't believe any one of them is incentivized. ~ But I thought, you know, are we trying to push too hard to p ltl sh a program through that isn't even really needed? Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner McDaniel. 0 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. I can't su, p,ol4 this particular recommendation either. I think you --b x p:I o~1ding for these density increases in designated CRAs, you're ge · ng to do nothing but increase the concentration of these housings in tllose particular areas. I think the CRAs, as they exist now, have en0ttgh with regard to that. I am also concerned about along transit c 0rridors that are --I mean, they should be considered, but fh a _'s also too broad of a term. I think that these --these --the majoFi of these projects should be coming to us from our Zoning and ~lanning Department in correlation with the interactive growth m oo 1 that we just --we're in the final stages of developing that na~ land-use modeling component that can show the impacts of the hanging of the densities, of the changing of the uses, of the c@n v ersion of commercial to residential and the like, and I don't thiFrl< it o~ght to be coming from our Housing Department. (Applause. CHAIREi~N SOLIS: Commissioner Saunders. ,, OMM ISSIONER SAUNDERS: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. m n ot so sure that I support the idea of increasing the densities omoting this type of housing necessarily in the CRA for the reasons that Mr. McDaniel has indicated; however, what we're talking about is directing staff to work with the CRA advisory boards and to come back and let us know what type of program would be acceptable with the potential of increasing the density in those areas. So I'm Page 115 October 9, 2018 going to support the staff recommendation with the understanding that it's going to take a little bit selling on the CRA issue part of it, but I'll look forward to having that debate. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Did I make a motion to deny the request or no? ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I'll second your motion. \ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yeah, I was going to --J.l1ake that a motion, and we don't have to do this twice. 0 COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Well, I'm going to make a motion to do as indicated, recommended by staff, the ite that's on the screen, to work with the CRA advisory boards o eV:eiop Growth Management Plan and Land Development Code amendments that will allow increased density and other incentivt}s in CRAs and along transit corridors for developments that vol u p.ta il~ r ov ide a portion of their units as housing that is affordable. ~ COMMISSIONER TA YLORJ· nd I'm going to second that understanding the CRA, it's in m~ . rstrict, and understanding their ultimate goal is to solidi f)f an magnify their artistic base, and the last time I looked, artists can't affi rd the rents in Collier County. So this would be a real boom, s0, I'm supporting this. Thank you. CHAIRMJ\N S0 LIS: There's a motion and a second. Further decision? Yeah. Just another little thing, and that i s in this particular CRA what they've been trying to do is pull the selves out of the depths of hell and get to live like other people live instead of having to always be the underdog, and they're slowly trying to come out of that and move forward, and I don't think these things will help them at all because it sounds like they're now going to have to go backwards, and that's a shame. It's taken so long to get this Page 116 October 9, 2018 far. (Applause.) CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. There's a motion and a second. Any other discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN SOLIS: All in favor, say aye. Aye. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Those opposed? COMMISSIONER FIALA: Three --aye. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Aye. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Three. Mi sten to me. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: It's approved J - . MR. GIBLIN: All right. Thank ~0 1:1 , Commissioners. That's the conclusion of our presentation. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I th1 w e'll break for lunch, and we'll come back. COMMISSIONER Si4DNDERS: Mr. Chairman, I think we only ✓ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: We only have one, but it's a presentation, so we'll be baGl< at I ~5. ( A luncheon recess was had.) MR. 0H.2ff S: Mr. Chairman, you have a live mic. FIS C AL YEAR 2018-19 STRATEGIC MARKETING PLAN FOR THE NAPLES, MARCO ISLAND, EVERGLADES CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU (CVB) AND MAKE A FINDING THAT THIS PLAN PROMOTES TOURISM -MOTION TO APPROVE Page 117 October 9, 2018 THE STRATEGIC MARKETING PLAN AND THAT IT SUPPORTS TOURISM -APPROVED MR. OCHS: Commissioners, we are on Item 1 lB. This is a recommendation to approve the Fiscal Year 2019 Strategic Marketing Plan for the Naples, Marco Island, Everglades Convention and Mis itors Bureau, and Mr. Wert, your Tourism Division director, will ma~e the presentation. MR. WERT: Afternoon, Commissioners. tourism director, for the record. I'd also like to just call attention --I think os Ed Caum, our deputy director, who we brought in. now? MR. CAUM: Almost a year an~ a 11 l . m almost legit. MR. WERT: Almost a year and a n~If. He survived, right. And he's kind of been overseeing our sp 0rts as well. But we had an opening on t e sports side, so we have brought in the newest member of OU]j ea , lT effrey John, who is going to be our guy in the trenches to help sell us, both the new sports complex and all the other events that are going on. d 3/S. So, Jeffrey, say hello. CHAIRMJ\N S0 LIS: Welcome aboard. MR.JO COM Rl . J HN: So, yeah, I've been here exactly one month and four MR. WERT: That's right. And he's still here, so that's good. MR. JOHN: I came from Tucson, Arizona. So I'm excited to be here, excited to work with everyone on staff, and we're getting through some things right now, but we're going to make things happen. I see great opportunity for Collier County in the sports tourism business. Page 118 October 9, 2018 We have a lot of good opportunities coming forward, so I'm excited to be a part of it. MR. CAUM: And he's got his new moniker; his first meeting with Nick. He goes, "Jeffrey John." Nick immediately goes "JJ." MR. WERT: So he's now JJ. ~ All right. Commissioners, we are here this afternoon to loo at -- and what I have is a presentation here of the highlights of what ii in this ~ook. This is the one that we provided to you aheadl~tHe meeting. ~ ~ This is the 2018-19 plan for marketing the destination, and within it lots of different sections. Every one of our rnarke ing disciplines and group sales and sports and leisure sales, our national epresentatives. Everybody has their part of this plan. Q So what I'm going to do is just ~it em€ rghlights of it and show you overall what's in the plan and h:ow w~plan to market the destination in the coming year. Just some introductory not~s. H's very important to know that this plan has been developed by lie (t ollier County tourism industry. It wasn't just the county staff: I wasn't just the ad agency. It was really a group effort. ✓ The county tourism industry met with us a number of times during the yea ,. Olj can see we have monthly meetings with our sales staff and t e sales staff of our hotel sales and marketing folks. The monthly me tings with the Sports Council. Quarterly we have roundfable eetings where we invite all of the tourism industry. And wft' e got hotels and attractions and restaurants and shopping venues all o ing together to talk about tactics and strategies. We do roundtable discussions of items on the strategic plan. We also get monthly reports, and this is what really drives a lot of our decisions is research. Everything in this plan is research driven. Research data services, Arrivalist, a new source for us, Smith Travel Page 119 October 9, 2018 Research, and our monthly reports from our international reps. That all goes into how we shape this plan for the coming year. We then have a day-long marketing retreat. This one was on June the 27th. We had 100 tourism partners there. Again, hotels, attractions, salespeople , Sports Council, Lodging Association, ~ chambers of commerce, our airport, shopping, restaurants, and s~ forth. They all spent a day with us virtually shaping this plan. ~hey gave us the ideas of what are the target markets, who are t e~ targeting and will target during the year. We looked at both strategiy-s and tactics, strengths, weaknesses, everything. That's w hat drove a lot of this plan. We actually then had a second meeting witJi tli e Sports Council members to be sure we really understood w Hat tll ey were thinking about in terms of the new complex w_e _ a~e n the existing events that we're bringing to the area and we hg e e'· l be repeating. We presented the plan to the tou11 ·sm industry on September the 20th. That was another one of tllos e' roundtable get-togethers. We did that at Opera Naples this ~ear; Er st time we've had an opportunity to really use their facility. T li ere was an unanimous acceptance of the plan at that meeting, and then we presented the plan to the TDC on September the 24t ~ and now we're bringing it to you for your approval. Our custome , our visitor, has a very distinct profile, and it's one that we've one · over the years. Really, for the last 15 years through researGn, w 'v e been able to identify who our customers are, how old they ar e, xv hat their activities are, what their income is, what they like to o ~ n ow they like to receive their travel information. So the words you see on this slide are really the kinds of activities that they --our typical customer likes to do. They are foodies definitely. They love to experience the food scene here in our area. They love to travel. They are cultural, and they are arts inclined. They Page 120 October 9, 2018 are caring to others. They are eco conscious, and many of them are eco enthusiasts. So that's kind of an overall profile of activities. They're about 48 years of age. Household income of 150,000. And the target market skews toward the female because, for the most part, they are the ones that make travel decisions. They travel --they study things, and E: make those decisions, make recommendations to the family , f 0 E instance, and that's usually where they end up going. I mentioned that research really drives this plan. out over the last year, and Arrivalist is this new tool t at we've been using that virtually gives us the opportunity to 01lo WJ someone from the first time they see a digital ad that we have ent out on various websites. We follow them all the way to th e time when they actually make a travel decision, and we can d;li ¥et messages as they go along on other website so that we're kind 0:f. co nt1nually in their face, if you will, when they're making those de Gis i0 ns. So some --no surprises fo_p some of this. Our established markets, that research show s i , s certainly the Northeast, that Boston to Philadelphia corridor. At least the first two quarters of the year, that's where we get most of our visitation. Growth mai;k:ets: The Midwest and the Southeast. These are ones that we want to S'ee grow some more in the future. And then w e've got emerging markets, and in some cases these are places tli at w e aren't currently advertising in, but they may have expev· ence ur destination by attending a sports event or it might h we beep a group meeting, and they kind of liked it, and so they've bee ind of following us to see if maybe they'd like to come back for a vacation. The other thing we found out, the further people travel, the longer they stay. So people from the Northeast, for instance, that come down the first quarter may stay on average of five days , whereas a Florida Page 121 October 9, 2018 resident traveling in the summer months, their stay is more like three days. So, obviously, we want to target people who stay longer because that's more revenue truly for the entire community. And Florida is a year-round destination for us. We get travel throughout the year ft0m them. The other thing that Arrivalist showed us --and I mentielned there are some cities that we don't normally target with advertisi g nd promotion. You see in the left-hand column there Den¥er, t. Louis; Nashville; Cincinnati, Ohio; Houston, Texas. These are places that we aren't currently advertising in but we're seeing l?-eopI w o have traveled here. Again, might have been a sports e: ent or some other activity that brought them here. But it suggests t at if they've been here once, we've got an opportunity to brin them back for another visit. . . :S. This tool also gives us the o~pot'ttt nity to take our customer profile that I just showed you an a~d those emerging markets that we just showed you on the pre-v. · o s s'lide. And then airport lift. Where do we have direct air service into our area, and is there some correlation? And what you see in tho ~e circles are areas that we think really have some potential to firing new visitors to the destination. And just to ecc1p all of that, we've categorized these particular markets now established, and you see our Florida markets kind of at the top there, oa you also see those New York, New Jersey, Boston, Phila el hiai, Chicago areas. Their growth markets --and most of th~s ;we ~e done some marketing in. In fact, we've added them. As we'Y-e gotten more funding, we've been able to add some of these. So Minneapolis-Saint Paul is a good one. Cleveland is another opportunity there. Columbus, Ohio. Atlanta, we've got more direct flights into RSW from Atlanta than anyplace else. So let's think about maybe Atlanta's a good market. Page 122 October 9, 2018 Emerging-wise, you see some places that you might not normally think about. Asheville, North Carolina; Charlotte; Baltimore; Washington, D.C. These are places that have direct air service, but we aren't really or haven't marketed because we just --we were going after the ones where they were --they came every year; you get more business out of them. i 'i> The tactic is going to change this coming year. So for tl1 0se growth markets, Midwest and Southeast, we want repeat Ni sitation. We want those folks to come again. We're going to gi N=e tl)em reasons to come back again. With the established markets, if we get o mot day's stay out of those folks from New York, move from five to s · x cl ays, tremendous impact, especially when they come the busry'-time of the year when rates are the highest, prices are the highest And those emerging markets, iY.e 9ust got a great opportunity to build our customer database to find new customers that haven't been here before, and those that hav , MT · ust suggest more things that they maybe don't know about {lffl1 a es tination. And this is how the plan is going to really be different. We're going to split up our ma keting spend into three different pockets: 60 percent of that e ssaging is going to go toward the growth markets, because if we e an att1 act more of those growth markets folks, we will see more --it w ill --they'll eventually become an established market, and then w e nu -more growth markets from the emerging group . ere going to promote year-round to those places, and that's impo al}:tr because normally we would just think about, if it's cold up norah ou advertise in the winter. We're finding visitation from places like Detroit that you wouldn't think about would come in the summer, but they do, and we've found that through this new research tool. Thirty percent of the focus will go toward those established markets: The Northeast, those places we know are going to come to us Page 123 October 9, 2018 virtually every year, especially as long as it's cold. So we want repeat visitation from them. We want them to stay that extra day. And you see in each of these slides kind of what our overall tactics will probably be for each of those. And then the remaining 10 percent goes toward those emerging markets with the goal that we can move those forward. The target market for our primary traveler is that age groap of 35 to 64. Baby boomers continue to be very strong. They stiU loiVe our destination. They are traveling. Yes, some of them are Ge~ainly retired, but they're still traveling. They love to trave l. Mey save their money, and they travel. Household income, 15Q,00Q ½.nd, again, it skews toward women. The boomer, those boomers are also in hat same household income. Families and couples both ~e ge afte F there. Generation X, Gen X as we call them, the 3 5 to 54 bracket. Actually, a good part of Gen Xis im tfla same sweet spot where our typical visitor is coming from. ~ Seniors, you know, we d©n't often think about seniors, but they can travel during the wee . ;T hat's the time we need hotel room sales. So let's go after some se iors. Let's give them reasons to come midweek. Bring t e grandchildren on a vacation. And then th e m jtlennials, and we talk so much about the millennials an h w do we get them here. They are very different in terms of ho bey act. They are very tech savvy. Everything they do is via te dlim olo gy. So we need to be able to deliver the message maybe a little bit ~ifferently to them and bring them to our destination, because the~ a e our future visitors here in our destination. Summer and winter, we just broke out how the established growth in emerging markets and what cities we go after. And summer and winter are different, and so the messaging is different, and the approach is different, and we're going to show you a little bit of the Page 124 October 9, 2018 winter campaign here in just a second. Internationally, we have really become a strong international market. Central Europe is very strong. We have direct air service into Fort Myers from Germany. That brings a lot of Germans here. But it also brings the Swiss , the Dutch, and the Belgians, because they'r~ close to many of those airports in Germany. And Eurowing's th~ ew carrier that we have from Germany, is part of Lufthansa, which is one of the largest European carriers. They have connections al o er Europe. So this gives people an opportunity to find us · :\V ays they never could before. UK/Ireland continues to be a strong year-rouno ✓ee " er of visitation to our area, and South America has re ally b gun to catch on now. Yes, years ago, a few years ago, the blew Miami, and they knew Orlando, and they really didn't. @W-H)j thing about the rest of Florida. ~ We have targeted Brazil over the last couple of years. Brazil's going through a tough time right now with their economy. So we're switching to Argentina. ge ti ma is showing real strong visitation already to our areas. We want to capitalize on that. Wellness has been omething we've talked about a lot in the destination. We ;u sed to just call it medical tourism, but it really is all about wellnes . W e'w/e formed a task force here in Collier County. I think some of yo attended a breakfast meeting we had not too long ago kind o fl talking about this segment of tourism. It's really mainstream Virtually, it touches every kind of visitor you could bring heFe. My ny of our hotels are very interested, so we're going to have a lot 0 f trategies related to wellness tourism in the coming year. Specialty markets: LGBT community is really getting to know us. The east coast of Florida has kind of been --that was their sweet spot over there. Fort Lauderdale and the Keys really have done very well with that. But they've now discovered our side, and they've come Page 125 October 9, 2018 over to some of the pride festivals in Southwest Florida, beginning to understand what we have to offer here. SMERF, you may have heard me use that before. Those aren't those little green --purple people. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Blue. ~ MR. WERT: That's social medical --it's education, retired, an d fraternal. Those are the kinds of meetings that we love to ge i the summer months, because they're looking for better deals, tn e~'re looking for lower rates. They won't come in the first cou p l e quarters of the year, but that's good business for our meeting h otel s in the slower time of year. Weddings and honeymoons. This is a market that we've dabbled in over the last few years, but the same sta}:@p erson that's going to be working on the SMERF market and ~GB~ wil also be attending some wedding shows now. Weddings and l10 n ~ymoons, especially destination weddings, are huge. Tliey bring tons of business to our area. They fly the whole grou o ow n. They stay as a group. That's really important future bu m er s for us. On the group meeting si e, we're going to have a lot to talk about this year. The JW Marr·0 tt has now reopened their beautiful new meeting space. Ii ~ou haven't had a chance to get down to Marco Island yet and see tR_ t , it is incredible. It looks like you're walking into a big city convent ·on center. It is really something. The H ittolt' next door on Marco Island is about to re-open. That's going o he f us very well. They've got meeting space as well. That giy es us an opportunity to do island-wide events, island-wide meetings that ultiple hotels --it gives us the opportunity to bring bigger groups to Marco Island. On the sports side, certainly the big news is the sports complex, and thank you-all for your support of that. That whole development is working --moving along very, very well. Page 126 October 9, 2018 We've got to create a plan that when that place opens sometime in '19 when we have the first set of fields ready, we want events ready to go that we've really sold the first year of events, and that's Jeffrey's challenge, right? And he's accepted it. New artificial turf fields at North Collier. What a great ~ opportunity to now finally be able to have summer events here i~ Collier County. Yes, it rains, but we'll be able to use some o tllo se fields at the times of year that we never were able to hav e~emts before. And, finally, one of the tactics we want to talk tJ u is the forming a sports advisory committee. This wo ld B~ing various types of sports and champions for each of those in ou co unity or in the region to be a part of an advisory committee that will help bring more events. Each of those people have got c 0ntae ts in their sport nationally, regionally, intemationall~. ;:r ose are the people we need to draw on their expertise to bring us ew visitation and new events to the area. Arts and culture. W @'Fe go ing to oversee the strategic plan that Collier County's putting together for the arts and culture community. That is --if it's not on th · street today, it will be tomorrow. I think that RFP will be out. We've go a str()n1g section on the website of arts and culture activities in the ar a . At least twice a year we dedicate e-newsletters to our customei,· a bout arts and culture; November for arts month and again · n iE e ruary. W e'"X'e got a grant program that's available to any of the nonprofits to get additional marketing dollars to help promote their events. We work with United Arts Council to get wide distribution of their digital event calendar. And we're going to use public relations as an opportunity to really further all of the knowledge that people have about the great arts and culture that we have . And I think we'll all Page 127 October 9, 2018 agree, for a small community, we have got an abundance of arts and culture, much more than most small communities would have. It's because we've got visitors coming here year round to support those activities. Active adventure, that's an important part of what we promote here. We've got the world famous Everglades, but we've also got Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, and we've got Rookery Bay, a d all kinds of --Naples Botanical Garden. These things peopfo~ ~ alilt to see. They want to learn. They want to know more about ou:i: at ea and about all of those activities related to adventure. And man-~ ot ur visitors are very adventuresome, and they are looking f0 r tH0 ,e Kind of activities . Heritage tourism. You know, five co11nty-owned museums plus several not-for-profit museums in our ariea. ~hey are offering some great programming, some great ev©-nts tnat come to the area. We want to help them promote those. Again, tli ey are certainly able to get some marketing support from us. Anti tn~· --some time next year we will be opening the Naples Depot ~is.to s Center that will go in that baggage car that sits beside the dep0 there. Very excited about that. That coupled with the Pullma car and being able to serve food there. That kind of becomes destination in downtown, so we definitely want to help promote tli at as w ell. The :Alatf o , our brand voice, if you will --this is the second year we will 6 e using this . It's really an invitation for people to come and di sc 0ye what we have here: Our unique beaches, our great dining sc ene, tn;e, Everglades, all of the things that they might not expect from a p ac e like Naples and Marco Island. And we sign everything we do with "Love Paradise ." Kind of like a little invitation to come and enjoy it. The branding is --we are Marco Island --excuse me, Naples, Marco Island, and the Everglades, Florida's Paradise Coast, and the promise we're giving our visitors is Page 128 October 9, 2018 they're going to love what they discover here, and that's what pays off our branding phrase of "Love Paradise." I got a few examples here of this is --first look at what we're anticipating the winter --fall and winter campaign will be, and we will be using a lot of these same images, a lot of these same lines and sc, forth, copy lines in what you approved this morning. The red tid , campaign is going to use a lot of this same type of imagery, a lc1t about families, a lot about different types of families. We're really going after diversity now. Our last h 0tcp-shoot is all about showing the various ethnic groups, different bo d~ nr pes, and so forth. This isn't just the beautiful model anymo €. '!'hi s is real people. This is what our visitors look like, and they can ifl e tify, then, with that advertising; that that kind of looks like me -thi nk I can see me in that setting. • Certainly, we've got the great sho~2 ing scene here in the Naples area, and all of these are very short copy. This is "Tis the season for fabulous. Love Paradise." Again, families. This ·s a l o -second television spot. We don't do much of 30s anymore. Fift €en is about the attention span of everybody . "So as the day:s get shorter and the temperatures get lower, remember, you can always count on us to bring a little summer to your winter." That will n~ onate pretty well on Long Island, I think, in January. I thi that will really get their attention. It's ce:Nt ai aty a romantic destination, and we've got great sunsets, and w,e a t to continue to really use that asset as a way to bring petJ ple ~re. "Just the two of you. One unforgettable evening. Love Pai ad· se." The Everglades, that whole eco experience, some great photography we've got out in that area. "Go wild with an eco adventure. It's only natural. Love Paradise." So the budget allocations really go along very well , we feel, in Page 129 October 9, 2018 this plan with what our typical visitation is. We are a leisure destination. This is for family vacations. So 70 percent of our travelers are leisure travelers. But the group and the sports travelers make up the balance of that visitation. So that's the same allocation that you'll see in our budgets that we're going to allocate 70 percen to that leisure traveler, because they are our year-round bread and 1.Ju t ter. The group meeting business, very important. Now that w e' e got a lot of our meeting space back online, we can really promote t hat, and we hope and you'll see in some of our goals for the future ---we've got actually two years worth of goals in here --we wan t0 ~et that up to about 40 percent, and that's important because hat's ood , strong business, and it's repeat business, because they'I here for a meeting, they'll come back, they'll bring the family :ft:m a family vacation as well. So, Commissioners, that's just a_br·~o eliV iew. I've got a lot more slides. You've seen a lot of it · n th at presentation there, the printed version. What we're asking ov i s approval of the Tourism Division Destination Marketing Rlan for 2018-19, to make a finding that this action promotes t 0 r i m, and direct your staff to implement the plan. And I'm happy to a swer any questions you might have. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Fiala. COMMIS SIONE R FIALA: Yes, thank you. I'm amazed, first of all, that I leametl recently that a lot of the people that come in the summertime --c ome to Naples in the summertime actually come to cool 0ff. T Hat was so interesting. ~Plp\IRMAN SOLIS: Oh, yeah. QOMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, you knew that, too? CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Oh. COMMISSIONER FIALA: I had no idea. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: It's a lot hotter in Orlando than it is here. MR. WERT: Yeah, it is . That's right. We've got a breeze. Page 130 October 9, 2018 People like to come here. COMMISSIONER FIALA: And I actually understood that even they'll come from Canada, and I was really surprised at that. But, anyway, I just thought I'd mention that. You're doing a good job, Jack, I'll tell you. ~ MR. WERT: Thank you, ma'am. ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: And then nice additions to h i s. You've expanded it. Your ideas here will reach more peo you've added, like, a new enthusiasm to it. So thank y0u. MR. WERT: Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner McQ ani~ . COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. Ja0:l<, ea yon you were talking about tracking clientele. If you wotd expand on that a little bit. I thought I heard you say that from the fi st time somebody hits our website we're tracking them, foHo ·n:g them to other destination advertising, and then trying to inselit tar geting that. Did I hear that correctly? MR. WERT: Yes, si , tli at i s correct. In addition to that, the way we really find out what ouF ~pical visitor is is through --our research company does intercepts in hotels and attractions, on the beach and so forth, at the pool t Q find out --they go through a whole list of questions to fin out w here they come from, how they heard about us, how long they re going to stay, their idea of what they'll spend and so forth. So tl\a -gi ves us the profile . at JP6 u're talking about is Arrivalist, which is a new tool that w~'re Just using this year. So let's say we create one of those digital ads that I showed you before that kind of it gives you an opening and it goe maybe two more frames, and then it gives you an opportunity to click. You go to the website from there. From the time they open that, we drop what's called a cookie onto their computer. They can delete it, that's fine, a lot of people do. But a Page 131 October 9, 2018 lot of people don't. And so from that point, so --the research we've been seeing is that on average --and this comes from Google, actually --that people are going to 28 different websites before they make a final decision where they're going to go. That's the kind of research that our customers are doing. ~ So the idea is, along that path, we'd like to be dropping a , € sage back to those people that --don't forgot about us. Don't forge ab out paradise. We've got this activity, and we've got great food anhl great beaches and those types of things. So it's an opportuni~ to tract it, but also it gives us information, honestly, Commissioner., e"ve never had before. It's really been able to show us how long it t k:es from the time they first see the ad until they come. It's about 4e aays. And we can track that. That's where we found out peovrl from Detroit stay much longer than people from Jacksonvill ~ do. COMMISSIONER McDANl : Su re. Well --and I would think it would also enhance your ta gei marketing as you're going along, because you've got --thef e's s earch parameters that are coming in off of that dataset. MR. WERT: That's ri ght. COMMISSIONER Mc ANIEL: If they're hitting 28 sites, I think is what you aid, something, 25, 28, then they're searching for particular items, and that's going to better allow you to direct the marketing that goes to those individuals. So that 's --and I can also assume that while we're collecting that data , e do 't disclose anything. It's all held private and -- M~. WERT: Absolutely private. QOMMISSIONER McDANIEL: --all that sort of thing. MR. WERT: We just see the ad. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: That was a very --that was early on in your presentation, but I made a note about it. The only other --the other question I had for you is, don't we Page 132 October 9, 2018 already have a sports council? MR. WERT: Yes, sir. We do have a private sector sports council. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: You're recommending over and above that sports council a separate advisory committee for sports? MR. WERT: This would be in addition to that group, becaus most of what the Sports Council currently has is their hoteliers and attractions on that --in that group. They're obviously looking for business coming from our events. What we're looking er are those people that are already engrossed in a sport. Maybe ·11s 0ne --Florida Fire is a good example of a group that's right he e tn t --they are plugged into all kinds of events that they could bf ing to us. We want a soccer group. We want a Ja~rosse person. We want to have a basketball person and so f ort11 to . €le , tiw, let's go after this type of event. I've got a contact with the Ol~mpic Committee for field hockey. Maybe we can bring that l in"1 of event here. It's strictly an advisory gro . Certainly might be part of the Sports Council, but it's realllr e specialized people we're looking for. COMMISSIONER Mc ANIEL: Thank you very much. MR. WER . Yes, sir. CHAIRMJ\N S0 LIS: Commissioner Taylor. COMMIS:SI NER TAYLOR: Yeah. Thank you, Jack. I thinN, 3/0lt know, after reading these for several years, I think, you ow:, JP6 u're data driven. You're trying to get a lot of information that j ustifies you going forward, and I think this is a lot of work, and I think ·t's --you know, you're to be commended. Unfortunately, it was done over a year, not in the last --since July. MR. WERT: It was done with input over the year but, yes, it was; it was created in July. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Right. I'm going to pass out some Page 133 October 9, 2018 things and have it on the board, ifwe could. And this is absolutely not a criticism at all of your work. This is front page of the Naples Daily News today. "Rotting carcasses littering Moorings Bay." When I read your strategic plan, I was concerned because it talked about fishing. There's no fishing~ There's fishing in Marco. There's no fishing. There's no fish ~ ml the reefs. It doesn't mean you can't market the beaches. The beai ehes are part of what we do. But next week, next month, we con cl )' epeat what we went through in the summer. ~ .. MR. WERT: True. ~~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Red tide c &~ es lS ack in the wintertime. It doesn't go away. So we have tourism --we have a thtee-egged stool for tourism: Luxury tourism, sports, and arts. ~nd w at I would like to see is not to negate your hard work here or the 1iesearch you've done but to balance the pull to everyone to come here not only for beaches but also to come for the arts and what we can off er in arts and to perhaps work with our different partners · 11 the county to create packages to create buzz around what's hap9,ening. And, if you ~ould, please, I have --now this is just a very short morning list o hat~ going on here. But if we could --if we could start talking aoout these things now, in addition to, you know, stay at the Ritz, it' );e;autiful. There's sunsets there, but look what we've got going on e e. ~Hi.,, Reflections in Glass in the Garden is extraordinary. We ha e , ickleball. You know, let's talk about pickleball now. Let's start the Hype. Ifwe want people to stay here, let's bring them here and start talking about it now about unique things we have to offer, and there's a lot more. Y ogaCAN, that's an incredible event, by the way, and that's health and wellness. Page 134 October 9, 2018 We have the --I believe it's USGN Women's planning on coming. MR. WERT: Yes. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: These amateur sports. You know, there's so many things that we can balance the beaches so that if it does go south on us, which it did yesterday, we've got other things to bring people here. ,, '\ ~ MR. WERT: Okay. ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And I was concerned eo,ause in the marketing plan you've allotted 8,000 for marketing 0r sports, nothing for art, arts and culture in your plan in the destination marketing plan that I read, at least the budget. MR. WERT: That's only the paid advertis ing. T at was the only thing that was in the plan. There is a separat bu get, and if you look in the back of the book, here --let's loo at ~a s. COMMISSIONER TA YLO~: Wflat page are we on? MR. WERT: Let me get my glasses on here, and I'll --sports would be Page 137; Page 137. 8Q that's sports, and $1.3 million is what the budget is for promoti g sports. That includes supporting events that are coming. It omotes us traveling to various trade shows. That is the plan that the sports group has put together, and that will also support t e sales for the area. It is true l on't have a breakout specifically for arts and culture. We will. T at's ing to be part of that strategic plan. You've got to plan where ~o _ 't e going to go first. Just so you know, every single one of thgse e e ts that you just showed up there are on our event calendar o ouF w~bsite, every one of them, and that is the most number-one pla~e people go on our website. So we are promoting that. And you mentioned the one at the Garden, that's a grant. We are helping them with a sizable amount of money to promote that. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: But the --I think the statistics in the Garden will say that the number of visitors to the Garden exceeds Page 135 October 9, 2018 any other attraction, any other. It's the top one in the entire county. Why wouldn't we put the Garden on your marketing plan? Why wouldn't we send photographs of people enjoying the Garden? MR. WERT: There are, all over the website. Look. There are pictures all over about the Garden. We use that place extensively~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: There's not a --no, it's t~eaeli. So it's always the beach, and I think it's risky business. MR. WERT: We are a beach destination; 100 perce w are a beach destination. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: But, unfortunate! , right now -- unfortunately. And it's not --I don't like this, o ay. i fl on't like the front page of the Naples Daily News showing tfii s. don't like the fact that in --a French friend of mine who speak:s French was listening to French TV that's international who talked aoout the kill of fish in Sanibel and in Collier County. I d0n't li]& hearing from some German friends of mine they're considering ~elUng. MR. WERT: Sure. None ~ u~ do. COMMISSIONER lt~M -()R: So what I'm saying is, there's more to coming to Naples tl esides the beaches. Not --we should always have the beaches there, but there should be --there needs to be more of a balanc howing all the other things we have so that in case things go soutk , ther~s other reasons people come here for. MR. WE~ · And, Commissioner, I do agree with you. And I think you've 6een in on some of the meetings where we've talked about how / e ha~e changed the advertising that we've done over the last two m@ntbs. We haven't been talking about the beach. We haven't been talk'.ing about fishing. We've been focusing on inland activities, and that's the message that's been in digital ads and so forth. So we have changed that. And the nice thing about using digital advertising and social is you can change like that. And if we do have a situation where we've got to stop talking about the beach, we can do that. This plan is Page 136 October 9, 2018 very flexible to do that. And, certainly, we'll have that created, ready to go if this pops up again, and we're hoping it doesn't. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: But it's popped up again. It popped up this morning. MR. WERT: Okay. In one place. That's --one of the nice tilings about our area has been that it has been spotty. It hasn't been all 1 and down the coast. Lee County's a much different situation, t we've been fortunate. And I mentioned this morning --and I think it's im o~ant that now the news media, at least in the region, is beach b~ each showing who has it and who doesn't, and that helps us a ot, Bec ause the unfortunate part is the people in New York don't~ee that. That's our job to get that word out. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yn tJw,ifiwasaNewYorker • coming here and wanting to spend fiy~ days and wanting to drop maybe $1,500, $2,000, having it spo ~ isn't going to satisfy me that this beach is clear and that beao isn't. I would probably book somewhere else because w.a CC)ncerned. And that's --I'm not saying gut your plan. You've wo rl~ed hard, and it's a wonderful, wonderful plan, but --and I'd like to --1'11 vote for this to go forward, but I'd like to see something in a couple of months that embraces the other two legs to that stool MR. WE~ · I'm happy to do that. COM . IS8 ONER TAYLOR: Sports and arts and culture. Rl. ERT: Absolutely; be happy to do that, absolutely. ~elJ½MISSIONER TAYLOR: Because you've got fall ca aigns. You've got a fall campaign you're in the middle of now, you've got a winter campaign that this could touch; it could touch. And we don't know what's going to happen, but it's not Irma. This is not Irma. This is not today it's here, tomorrow it's gone, unfortunately. Page 137 October 9, 2018 MR. WERT: And I do agree with you, and that's why I said this morning --and we might be back for some additional emergency dollars. If this thing goes into the first part of next year, yes, we're going to need more dollars to maybe offset negative thinking and perception. So truly that's one of the things that we all talk about evel}! stafif meeting we have; it's have things changed? Do we need to cliange some things in our messaging? And we will continue to d o t fl at. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And I guess what l saying to you when you talk about coming back for more mon ey, I m saying maybe be more proactive and just assume that e ne~d to balance it a little bit more than it is. MR. WERT: Okay. Understood. Thank ou. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: ThanR on . • CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commi s ~i0 n ~r Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUNDE S: Thank you. Just a couple quick question~ was looking at, on Page 133, your "all tourism promoti@ nds," and I was a little puzzled because there's actually a reduction, and maybe I'm just reading this wrong. Total for all tourism div· sion oversight funds, Fiscal Year '18 it was 24 million, Fiscal '1 it's 20 million. On the marketing and promotion just above that, Fisca Y ear '18, it was $15 million. Fiscal Year '19, it's $12 million. I'm jus ondering why the reduction. MR. ~ER!f : Some of that is the funds that are going into the sport.s comJ:)l ex now. We're moving some of the revenue that --from the fi ft fi p ercent that's going into that fund instead, and we had some of that -- COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I didn't --I didn't understand that the fifth cent -- MR. WERT: Fifth percent goes to the sports complex primarily, and there's some that goes into -- Page 138 October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: On the fifth cent, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was for the sports complex and beach renourishment. MR. WERT: It is --no, no beach renourishment out of there. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: None of that --~ MR. WERT: No. What we did was reallocated the first 3 p €re ent to give more to the beaches, so that's how they got more fundihg. MR. OCHS: Net increase to the beaches. MR. WERT: Yeah, there was a net increase. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So anyway, ;:on got a $4 million or $3 million reduction in promotion a d a $4 'Ilion reduction in all oversight funds, so that $4 milli@n reduction, each penny generates about, what, about five m ~Ui on? MR. WERT: Yes. • COMMISSIONER McDANl : 5 ,,S. COMMISSIONER SAUNDE S: I was curious as to why there was a reduction, and I'm not SUP€ tfia t fully explains it. MR. WERT: It's beCtause ,e include reserves in there in past years, and we moved those eserves into now the capital account to build the sports comple . So that's where some of that money that was just sitting in res~i:v es unallocated moved to that project. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: If you look at '17, okay, I guess Fiscal Year '17 it was 16 million, and then '18 it was 15 million, so would tfi ar ae count for that year as well? Rl . ERT: I think it might. And I think the other thing to look at · s loo~ up --the second line under marketing and promotion. The ad~e i sing and promotion, that has stayed consistent, $5 million over the ear --over several years here now. And so that's the amount of money that we are allocating to paid advertising, to digital media and so forth. That's where the messaging comes from. The rest of these lines are contractual. You know, we are Page 139 October 9, 2018 outsourcing most of those other things, and the amounts of money do change. And we also, like in promotion and sponsorships, about halfway down, there's quite a bit less money, but there's more going into the sports promotion side and not so much in that line. We don't do as much in the sponsorship. We're doing more in support of ~ football university, of pickle ball, of the watercross event that's G@ ing up this next month. So it's just that things are moving around a little bit, hut he big change is those large reserves are now in that fund for tli e ports complex because we've got to build it. I mean, that's --nd pay the debt service; that's the other piece. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Thank ~ou. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioneli M cDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: es . • Commissioner Taylor, I like youF io~a of diversification, spreading around the message. I'm di appointed about that article in the Naples Daily News today. It epitomizes selling advertising and not necessarily the greater go @d 0r t'H e community. I would like for you t 0 reconsider a statement that you made out loud that there is no fish· ng. That is not correct. The further south you go, the better it g ets. COMMISSIONE R TAYLOR: Okay. COMMIS:S I NER McDANIEL: Our friends in Everglades City and Marco s ana are flourishing right now and --but you made that statement out loud about there being no fishing, and that's not -- ~elMMIS SI ONER TAYLOR: I'm aware of that. I" QOMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Okay. So I just would like to -- I wanted to clarify that point so that our friends in Everglades City and Marco Island that are in that industry --I think this Saturday commences our stone crab season. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Well, and the festival's at the end Page 140 October 9, 2018 of the month. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Correct. There's a whole bunch of really good things happening around the fishing industry at large. I like your thought processes of diversification and spreadin~ around the message, because you never know what's going to t t ans ire next along those lines. But I just wanted to clarify that point. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Thank you. ,l' COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Thank you. ~ ,,_. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Fiala. ~ ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yep. ~~ I just heard today that the stone crab --the cc ral5 traps have already been dropped, and they start picking them HR next week is what I've been told. So that's kind of a good t1ling, bu tl on't think you can use that in advertising, but I'm just announ(S ing that because we've got good stone crabs. Thank you. COMMISSIONER McD 1EL: I was talking to Howie a few days ago, three days, the ma~or of Everglades City, and they're expecting a banner season, so ... COMMISS, <9NER FIALA: Oh, that's wonderful. COMMI SSIONER McDANIEL: Yep. CHAIRM N SOLIS: Awesome. So we need --do we need a motion to ace ept the marketing plan? Rl . O ~HS: Yes, and make a finding -- ~elJ½MISSI ONER FIALA: Motion to approve. OOMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I'll second. MR. OCHS: --finding that the plan promotes tourism. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: So it's a motion to accept the marketing plan and a finding that it promotes tourism; is that the motion? COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes, and promotes tourism. Page 141 October 9, 2018 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. There's a motion. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Second. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: And a second. All in favor, say aye. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Aye. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Aye. I ,-v COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye. ~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye. ,t 0 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Any opposed? ~ ,,_. (No response.) ~ ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: It's unanimous. ~~ MR. WERT: Thank you so much, Commi sioners. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Could e Have a second -- MR. WERT: I really appreciate yotlE su port. COMMISSIONER TA YLO~: --m 0 ion that we ask the Tourism Department to bring back an updat ont he plan to incorporate the other two areas, which would be sp orts and arts and culture? CHAIRMAN SOLIS : Is tha a motion? COMMISSIONER Si4DNDERS: Those are already included. MR. WERT: The:½'re already included, but we'll bring back some focus on that as t0 what we're doing. COMMI SSIONER TAYLOR: Yes. COMMI S:S I NER SAUNDERS: But your numbers are not going to cHan g~: ,, OMM ISSIONER TAYLOR: Well, I was hoping that you'd see a ba lanc -- MR. WERT: Well, maybe the reallocation is between different acti ities . COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: There we are. MR. WERT: That's really what we're talking about. It's all activity based, so we can move things around. Page 142 October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And perhaps some promotional material that would go into the Northeast actually mentioning the Botanical Garden or the Everglades or the zoo's great show that's coming in this spring. MR. OCHS: Commissioners, what we'll do, with the Board s approval, is we'll bring a report back in January that breaks down the current allocations. Gives you some options to consider if y o ant to pull the trigger on those. ,t , COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: All right. Great. ~~ MR. WERT: Just a final note and just so you kriow, all of those activities, the zoo, Naples Botanical Garden, thk)i are aft of what we show --influencers and travel writers when the-y'j come here, those are regular stops. They write about those. Those osts are on social media now and get a lot of play. Those fol ~s ha:V>e a: ot of following. So we're using those places as well, an we Ee promoting them. We'll do more. COMMISSIONER SAUNm RS: Mr. Chairman, just a question for the county attorney. -e're d irecting some information to be brought back to us. Does tn is need to go through the Tourist Development Council a d tnen back to us, or how is that flow of information sup esed to -- MR. KL~'IZK:@W: You would probably benefit by putting this through the TD and then getting it to you. MR. 0H.2ffS: I had intended to do that, sir. ,, OMMISSIONER TAYLOR: You know --and let me reiterate. Rigfit now folks in New York City, right now, should know about the cat Go ing back and that it's going to be on Marco Island. It's an incr dible, incredible find. You know, maybe as a cover to something. That's all I'm asking for, more of a balance, because we have culture and we have sports here. MR. WERT: We have an article in the Smithsonian right now on Page 143 October 9, 2018 exactly that subject. MR. OCHS: Understood. We understand. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: You understand where I'm going? MR. OCHS: Yes; yes, ma'am. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Thank you very much. MR. OCHS: Thank you. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: or is that just a consensus? CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I think the County Managet s ,,i d he's going to bring it back. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Thank yo ~erym ch. MR. OCHS: I have your intent, ma'am. Item#15 • ~°"° STAFF AND COMMISSION GE MR. OCHS: Mr. Chai qn, that takes us to Item 15, staff and commission general communications. Just a brief remind~r of your upcoming workshop. You have -- February 5th, I'm tcy ing to maximize your schedules here, and we had the transit system w (}rkshop set for 9 a.m. I'm hoping --and we're reaching out to the municipalities as you had directed to see if they're available to j oin the Board at 1 p.m. that same day for the fertilizer worksfi o . ~n 9~hen we're also working on a meeting for March 5th for a wo sli op that the Board had asked for at the last meeting to discuss the ounty's Future Land Use Map and the buildout population. So we're trying to plug that meeting in for March as we had discussed at the last meeting. That's all I have right now, sir. Page 144 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: County Attorney? MR. KLATZKOW: Nothing, sir. THE CLERK: No. Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner McDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Nothing. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Nothing? Commissioner Taylor. October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I do, and I think she' ba@k here, but if not --yep, she's coming, I hope. You know, when going --it's interesting whe l w a s going through the CRA master plan, which we are about t0J approve --well, we're starting the studying of it, we have here a , int eresting observation by the Tindale and Oliver that tn e --there is a needs of a coordination and zoning between L q c e 1nrements and the overlay and the relationship of various appl icable codes to each other, meaning it's complicated because it's zoning tn at's been there forever and ever, and there's different layers, and ·11 h ard to make them go together. So I'm wondering, a _ roceed, especially in the triangle area, if I would have consensus Qf my colleagues that decisions made by staff --because it might a ome to us, it would be made by staff, maybe we could just hav€ a review of them just to make sure that it works, because it's com12 licated. It's very complicated in there. And I guess maybe the --I me n, I guess it would be the Hearing Examiner that would take a 106 at these things. ,, H ~I AN SOLIS: I think we'd have to have some changes matte to-" OOMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Oh, it wouldn't be binding. It wouldn't be binding. It would just be a second pair of eyes on things . Better than my pair of eyes on things. I can tell you it's not an easy read in that area. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: These are changes that --who would be Page 145 October 9, 2018 applying for the changes? I guess I'm -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Well, as it develops. There's questions about zoning and questions about how --you know, what can be built here and how it could be built here. Things that would come up again and again that are starting to, you know, bubble to the surface, and there seems --there just needs to be, I think, a sec nd of eyes on these things, and then we can make sure that this complicated amass of overlays and underlining zoning and L ID C, that whatever is granted to developers --because I can tell r ou at our meeting --interestingly enough, at our meeting on a r ida morning with the landowners in the Triangle, which was a m ~eting that the CRA established, the concerns, the overriding c©ncerns of the CRA advisory board was intensity. It was how --what are we doing and fi<9iW clo we know there's not going to be more of the Bayshore T~iangle building that we've --that's in the process. And it was stated a tfl at meeting that this is --this is complicated, and I think it dese e s a second pair of eyes; not a binding second pair of e):es amy means. CHAIRMAN SOLIS : Well, but it--I would just look to the County Attorney. If we' e going to require some additional reviews, I mean, that's got t r> be in the Land Development Code so that the owners know what trey have to do and how long it's going to take, right? I mean, ow are we going to know what to send and what not to send and-- Rl . '. ATZKOW: Yeah. If you're telling --if what you're saying i our Land Development Code's very complicated, I don't lliQW MThat to tell you, but it is. It's why you generally only have one atto ey doing all of your land use in Collier County. No, it's a very complicated code. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: But it's not just there, but it's specifically in the CRA area. Specifically -- Page 146 October 9, 2018 MR. KLATZKOW: You've got an overlay in your CRA, and you've got --and that's on top of your regular LDC, which is on top of the GMP, yes. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Right. And that's the area. Until --until this --if it even is passed by our CRA board. Again, this is the master plan for the --to update the master plan in the comm uni . redevelopment agency area, and it acknowledges how com,R F sated and how there's a need for coordination. So for me this is almost a preemptive measure to make sure that it runs smoothl~ 1th a nonbinding review by, I would assume, our Hearing Examiner. MR. KLATZKOW: Well, it goes to the Rlanni g Commission. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: It would g@yt the Planning Commission? r\ MR. CASALANGUIDA: Ma'am, ~Ee I could help a little bit because we had some conversations. I tlii rik you've got --we have a piece of property that we have a contract buyer, and then recently the property next door was purchase€! y somebody else. There's a little juggling going on betwee th© two property owners in terms of what they want to do, how they want to do it. One of your sectio sin your Hearing Examiner's ordinance, or contract, allows ou to assign him some work as long as it's not a hearing in terms of niaking a decision, but to review these site plans, these appl'catio s as they go forward and just keep an eye on them and kind o fl ro v ide guidance to both staff and the applicant of, you know, ow they can work together, how they could come together witnont, f OU know, staff feeling like they're caught in the middle between two developers. And that's some of the conversations we've had. So it's nonbinding. It's overseeing. He does it almost now already when he's asked to voluntarily to come in and sit down. So I think that's the conversation we had; that he might help out a little bit. Page 147 October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And also just the --I mean, this is one example, but there's a whole triangle like this. It's complicated in there, or it wouldn't have been noted in the CRA master plan update. So it's really an innocuous thing, but it's just a second pair of eyes ,. that's all. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: So that's already happening is w ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No. MR. CASALANGUIDA: It's happening when he's aske fil . I think what the commissioner's saying is she'd like to maybe avy7'a couple nods from the Board to say, you know, you're free t o g0 ·n there and take a poke and look at these things as they come in a nd provide guidance to staff and the developer that they're fo lowing the codes and maybe, you know, help them out a little bit. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commission € Saunders . • COMMISSIONER SAUNDB S : I'm not sure what we're being asked to do, quite frankly. I've kin o fi iistened to this. If we're being asked to have some of these staf d~terminations to come before the Board for us to just simp ly t 1<:e a t ook at, then I certainly don't want to do that. What is it that you' e asking us to do? COMMISSIONER :f A LOR: That the Hearing Examiner --is there almost --I lfink --I think the expression is "route," but it's almost when these de e1sions by staff are made, that there's a review by the Hearing Examiner that is nonbinding. So if something, you know, bubbles to e to p and when there's a dispute because this is --you know OiW c omplicated --you gentlemen are land-use attorneys. You know li0 w complicated this kind of stuff can be. en there is a dispute, there is a second pair of eyes on this that doe keep the staff out of the push and pull of developers that want to do the best for their project. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: And isn't that what you just said you do anyway if there's a problem between developers and -- Page 148 October 9, 2018 MR. CASALANGUIDA: Staff --yeah, staff will -- COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: You'll use the Hearing Examiner for just some guidance? MR. CASALANGUIDA: Well, he'll do that if he's asked by staff. I think the way Commissioner Taylor explained it to me is tfia t she'd like to make sure that he felt comfortable that you-all gav€ t 1 ee nods that he could do that and you were comfortable doing that 1 n reviewing some of these things and just assisting. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: That's it. I mean l on't --you know, I don't go in there and watch what staff is doing aHd call our Hearing Examiner in to review it. It just --it se€ms t0 me it's just a nice, easy, automatic way until --at such point Mere is a coordination, and we can get that morass of regulations ana overlays and LDCs a little smoother in this particular area ._ OnlM n: this area. MR. CASALANGUIDA: An (i) e -fthe challenges, I think, that --in conversation, we own the prope!]Y , so it's staff reviewing our own property, which happens, any z0ning application, if we do a conditional use. I think that's -om.e up in conversation with some of the developers. Well, it's county-owned property. This is what we want, and so the idea was ·ark might take a look at this and say, I'm independent. I can keep an eye on things. CHAIRMJ\N S0LIS: He's independent of what? MR. CAS LANGUIDA: Independent of the staff. He works for the Board 'iFeGt y, and he could just provide them guidance and comfc1i1: tha he's looking as well, too. I don't --I think everybody w01:llo m;knowledge the amount of research that gentleman does is be)(O kl anything I've seen, and he usually goes, you know, between, you 'know, all the four comers of the books and checks everything, so ... COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Again, nonbinding; absolutely nonbinding. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner McDaniel. Page 149 October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. Commissioner Taylor, I do agree that there --our LDC and GMP and such are rather cumbersome at best. I'm not quite sure about your question. I certainly think we should utilize our Hearing Examiner to the utmost. There's probaBl~ hardly anyone who knows our very cumbersome GMP and LD • H€tt er than Mark. I'm not --I'm not so happy about a blanket thrust oveli to the Hearing Examiner every --because we have a procedure ity place. A property owner comes to us. We have an LDC. We a~e an overlay. We have uses. And it's up to staff to make the eterm·nation as to whether there's compliance with regard to the re guest of the property owner and their uses. Q And then, ultimately, those co111e t~0ug he system through -- either through the HEX Hearing Ex arnin . r or the Planning Commission and, ultimately, to us. GJ you're speaking specifically about what's going on within the B ;yshore CRA -- COMMISSIONER lt~M -()R: Yes. COMMISSIONER Nf~DANIEL: --at large. COMMISSIONER :r A LOR: Yes, only that area that I'm --for instance, our micr obrewery. Commissioner Fiala knows what a challenge that w ole as. COMMI S:S I NER McDANIEL: Right. COM . I S8 ONER TAYLOR: And, in fact, even in the update it's refer need, clear guidance in the LDC would have been helpful for suen use, as microbrewery. OOMMISSIONER FIALA: But what held the microbrewery up was the guy across the street who wouldn't allow them to build, and he was taking them to court to just stop it -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Based on our LDC. COMMISSIONER FIALA: So it wasn't --our LDC couldn't do Page 150 October 9, 2018 that at all. It was just --he was trying to hold it up because he didn't want to see it, then he died, so then it started moving forward again. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Right. COMMISSIONER FIALA: And they also have an advisory board, CRA advisory board, to tum to. ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Well, I think it's --this i ~ '\ ~ technical, very highly technical. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Well, my only concern is if it's nonbinding --my only hesitation is that there's no clear statement 0 p at this will involve. I mean, he's going to --he's going to do w at e actly? I mean, he's going to look at --he'll --you know, o a~<J another layer of review without being specific about what the rev iew's going to entail, when it's going to happen, and what the outGo me of that review is, I just --I just could see that morphing j nt(i) som ething that we never intended. But, I mean, I appreciate what ~ou 're saying; it's just --it seems to me that if we're going to do that w e need some definition as to what that's going to mean, even iD i s Just for the Triangle. COMMISSIONER TI YLOR: We can do that. MR. CASALANG:W I A: Ma'am, I think that was your intent, because it's coun~-owned property. There are two developers; there's a little friction. it t's j;U'st for those parcels --because it went through the zoning process already --or the whole Triangle. I think it's just for him to take a l0 ok at the codes, look at what was presented as fact in front ~ f the oard when the zoning was approved, recognizing the Board o~ns that property until the contract buyer closes, and as there's a co peting interest between the two applicants, he could just review it an8 provide advice and comments to staff. And it's just, hey, this is what I found, this is what I'm looking at, and limit it just to those two -- that triangle. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Because it's all owned by the county still? Page 151 October 9, 2018 MR. CASALANGUIDA: One parcel's owned by a private entity. One parcel's owned by the county. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Correct. MR. OCHS: The very tip of the mini-triangle is not county owned. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Right. It's not, so --I mean, again l'm ~ust a little concerned that there's no specificity as to what exactlx e's going to be doing and how many rounds of that could ther e be and, you know, just to be clear with the staff and the lando w:nev, but that's just my concern, so ... COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Can we m a~be move forward and limit it to these two properties at this point and get f eeclback from staff on this? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Sta ~s --I don't know . • Commissioner Saunders' light was o . CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Oh, I'm S()) · • COMMISSIONER SAUN::.....----,;,,:.-RS: Right. CHAIRMAN SOLIS : · mmissioner Saunders was next. COMMISSIONER Si4DNDERS: I was just going to suggest that if there's an issue here, i you could, perhaps at our next meeting, present something that is a little more concrete in terms of what you're trying to accomn lis n I don't see where there's a problem, and we're talking about dti ng --limiting this to that --those two parcels. But I tfii · staff has already said that they've already had those types fl co TuVersations. So I'm not sure --I think if you could give us so m e ~e substance to this at the next meeting, maybe we could ma e ome decisions. But I'm not prepared to direct the Hearing Examiner to take a look at anything at this point without a little bit of a better understanding of what that all means and what the problem is. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: You know it's always about density and intensity. But I think we can be a little more specific . Page 152 October 9, 2018 And, again, I heard that discussed very clearly by Maurice Gutierrez, you know, that how are we going to ensure that this is the last intense building in this triangle. It was very, very clear last Friday at a meeting. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Well, we're the ones that ~ permitted that. ,, '\ ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Oh, yes. ~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So --0 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I don't know that there's -- mind. Commissioner McDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yeah, I j us --tend to agree with Commissioner Saunders. I mean, we alrea ,_ y have a process in place. Certainly, anyone's welcome tor ac , o t to the Hearing Examiner, especially on an unoffioial basi s, to render some advise and opinion. But I think that involving --ou're correct, it is cumbersome. You've got underlying zoning. · 01i ve got the Bayshore overlay that changed the uses, then yo:ti've gol county ownership and so on. There's a lot of things that make tna t a cumbersome piece of property. But I think leaving well enough alone is the best way for right now. COMMISS, <9NER TAYLOR: That's it. CHAIRMJ\N S0 LIS: Okay. Is that all you have? Okay. Just one quick thing for me. I'm so ~1 ,, OMMISSIONER McDANIEL: You forgot Commissioner Saunder~. QOMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: No, I can go after you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: No, no, go ahead. I'm sorry. Your light was on, then it was off. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: He is the chairman. He was just yielding the gavel to talk. Page 153 October 9, 2018 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I thought you were done. I'm sorry. Go ahead. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I haven't even started. I do have one item. I talked to the County Attorney about this yesterday just very briefly. There's a problem in a lot of Florida communities with thieves placing skimming devices on gasoline pumps and eahng credit card information and then stealing the credit cards. There's some communities now that have started adopting what they refer t(i) as a gasoline pump security measure. It's very simple. Id a:fte p one for the Village of Estero, for example. Charlotte County has adopted one. Cape Coral has adopted it. Even the Florida agency th t's involved with regulation of gasoline and gasoline station , t Bey' ve kind of come along and said this is not a bad idea. There's a very inexpensive locking system that gas station operators can :g lace on their pumps that would preclude these skimming dev:im~~ from being installed. And so I'd like to get the consensus from the Board for the county to explore having a gasoline pumQ security measure ordinance to prevent skimming device ll€te in Collier County. And I've got a draft of an ordinance that I can g i to the County Attorney if the Commission is in agree en with moving forward with something like that. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yeah. That was my --that was my comment wanted to ask. Is it --is there penalization for the station owners tliat don't comply, holding them accountable theoreti oall~1 ~elJ½MISSIONER SAUNDERS: The way it's worked in other co unities, it's a code-enforcement violation. It's a code violation subject to penalties; $250 a day per violation. The solution is literally a small lock that costs a couple dollars. So it's not an expensive application for the gasoline station operators, and it's something I think that's going to be pretty consistent around the state before long. Page 154 October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I like it. I like it. MR. KLATZKOW: Do you want me to bring that ordinance back for the Board, Commissioner, for first reading? Do you want me to put together an executive summary? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Yes. I've got the draft ~ ordinance I can give to you. ,, '\ ~ MR. KLATZKOW: Yeah, we'll take it. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Anything else? ,t 0 COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: No. ~~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Now it's yo"kn: m . CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. Now my tu . Fin all . I was just going to report that last --I believ e 1t was last night, the Schulze Family Foundation had a workshof>, and there was a panel of medical healthcare professionals, and then rn:¼self and Nancy Dauphinais from David Lawrence 0 >the mental-health side, and there were some really interesting pieces o information that came out of that that I'd like to send around as a 0 e rway communication mainly on how --also Tabitha Butchet as supposed to be there, but I guess she was stuck in the airport. S nthony Moreno --Marceno --Moreno was there. ✓ And it's veiy ·nteresting the interplay between what the shortage of primary-cave hy$,itians that we have --which is apparently significant in Collier County; primary-care physicians as opposed to specialists --tne' effect that that's having on EMS when you combine that w·t n the Marchman Act calls that they get. That's one of the things t ;tt's adding to the hospitals being full, the ERs being full, and pe0 1 sitting in ambulances waiting to get into the hospital. And so I would like to send that around. It was interesting. And I really didn't understand the interplay there. And then I've also got a copy of an article that was in --I think we got it as an email. I don't know if everyone got it, but I was going to Page 155 October 9, 2018 share it. It's an article about, actually, Chicago, and it's titled "This is what happens when a city shuts down medical health clinics." And I think it's worth reading. I know we don't want to become Miami. We certainly don't want to become Chicago either. And it just --it points out how the lack Qr the shortage of mental-health facilities impacts different areas and different ethnic groups and demographics. So it was very intei:esting. And that's all I have. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Just one comment. 9 our consent today, we --I don't remember if it was a pass-through, sir, or if it came from our budget --1 million plus to our health servi ~€S on campus. MR. OCHS: Yes, ma'am. That's our annua contract with the David Lawrence Center. That's a statutori1y required -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: It w as 'A avid Lawrence. It was • to our--~ MR. OCHS: Oh, our Health ID ep anment. COMMISSIONER TA Y L®R.: Our Health Department here. MR. OCHS: Yes. hat's am.other statutory requirement to fund. COMMISSIONER TI YLOR: And it's statutory. And I'm sure that it's a --it's a pass-t ough, right? It's state money passing through us or it's --, MR. OC. $: N'<5. COMMIS:S I NERTA YLOR: --required -- MR. 0H.2ff S: No, this is local money required by state law to go to the --, __ _ ~elJ½MISSIONER TAYLOR: To the Health Department. MR. OCHS: The State Health Department in this county. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Three areas, not one of them mental health. Three areas, not one of them mental health. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: That's not --that's really not what the Health Department does. Page 156 October 9, 2018 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: But shouldn't it? And it did, but that's the --to me it was this big gap. You know, we keep pointing -- we need to get involved, but certainly on the state level they need to get involved, because this is by statute. Nowhere in the statute does it talk about mental health needing support. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Right. It's the public health function. No, I agree with you. It's --everybody needs to help. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah. 0 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Because of the situation we' e ~n, so --and one last thing is I will be --and you're next. I will be oringing back the draft of an ordinance creating the mental-healt advisC)ry --behavioral health advisory committee to begin vetting this S' rategic plan that I hope we can get together. And I would like to thank the Schulze a ily Foundation, because they have done a lot of wo:i;k 0n a · ot of different areas, and these --this needs assessment for tli e crommunity as a whole is --I was pretty impressed with what the~'iv,e ,rlone. Commissioner. COMMISSIONER Nf~DANIEL: Yes. And it's on --it's in regard to the mental-heath plan for Collier County. I've had --I had multiple commun·c;ations with folks up in Washington, D.C., back in March. I've been wQ,rking with some legislators along those lines, and everyone run into, Commissioner Solis, asks me about our mental-healtfi 11Jlan for Collier County, and a strategic plan needs to be implemente or created and, in fact, utilized so that we can insert the pr· or-i ties of our community with regard to the treatment of mental liea t So if we're going to have a --I would like to suggest if we're going to spend some time on a workshop, that we spend some time on a workshop in assisting to enhance the production of that mental-health plan, because without it those who are funding sources have a difficult Page 157 October 9, 2018 time in ascertaining what the priorities of the community are and assisting with funding in that regard. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: And are we planning on having another mental-health workshop in June, hopefully? MR. OCHS: Well, I think a lot of that depends on how far t e committee is with the development of the plan. As soon as that ~ committee is impaneled formally and -- COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: It's not even in exis ence, though, yet, is it? ~ MR. OCHS: Informally I think there's been a MC Qr*ing group, but now we need to come back, and the Board nee s to a etually appoint a committee and give them something to do. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: And I'll bring ~ll at forward to the --or I'll get it to the County Attorney no late~ th n t e end of this month. So I was hoping that the committee wowld e f ormed and be official and have their first meeting hopefull:x b~ th e end of the year. I think that's doable, and then January -- COMMISSIONER McD 1EL: You better look at the -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS : Is that not doable? COMMISSIONER Mc ANIEL: --the button pusher over there. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: To adopt the ordinance, we wouldn't be able to do tha 15 , tli e end of the year? COMMIS:S I NER SAUNDERS: You could adopt the ordinance by the end @ _ t b e year, but they probably won't be able to have a meetin g. ~Pl,A IRMAN SOLIS: First of the year. QOMMISSIONER TAYLOR: By Valentine's Day. MR. OCHS: My suggestion would be once you get the committee in place and you have a draft of the plan, that might be the point in time where you want to have another workshop and vet that before you bring it back for a formal vote . I think that's what I'm Page 158 October 9, 2018 hearing Commissioner McDaniel suggest. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Oh, right. No, no. I'm not talking about bringing back the plan by the end of the year. I'm just talking about having the committee formed to then -- MR. OCHS: Right. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: --start --we have a list of six or se y e 1 priorities that were identified through the last workshop, and 11i en --so this committee would hopefully be formed by the end of h'.€ ;;ear. The beginning of the year they can start working on develo 1ng a strategic plan, and then hopefully by June we'd have somethin:g to ook at, and that was what I was hoping for. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I just wa te cl to show my support for the acceleration of the creation t'the mental-health plan. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Right, tha ~o . H's in the works. And just so everybody knows, what I m working on is having a committee made up off olks that are eitner working in that area, you know, that know the challenges , knQJ w the funding issues, know the system, and also people that a u know, have been affected by it and have been through it, from t at aspect, too. So it's not necessarily --it's going to be probably 15 - 1 to 15 members to really cover the breadth of everybody that everybody thinks should be involved. So it will be a workt ·n~ committee that's going to work on this moving forward. hat's it. COM . I S8 ONER TAYLOR: That's it. ,, H ~I AN SOLIS: All right. We're adjourned.
