OBJECTIVE: To obtain Board approval of a proposed Land Development Code Amendment relating to
affordable housing.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Board held two affordable housing workshops, one on March 3, 2015, and
the other on March 1, 2016. These workshops served as the catalyst to form the Housing Stakeholders
Group (HSG). The HSG was tasked with creating a two-phase Community Housing Plan (CHP). The
first phase of the CHP consisted of the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) recommendations from their report
titled A ULI Advisory Services Panel Report Collier County, Florida, January 29-February 3, 2017. The
ULI report indicated that Collier County has an affordability problem. The Board unanimously accepted
the CHP (Item #11.A) on October 25, 2017, and directed Staff to bring forward each suggestion in the
report individually for discussions in workshops.
On February 27, 2018, the Board accepted elements of the CHP by voting in favor of the following:
1. Approve new affordable housing definitions in accordance with discussion at the meeting;
2. Accept the staff-recommended updates of the housing demand model and its methodology;
3. Adopt a resolution (i.e., 2018-38) to advocate support and authorize the county's lobbyists to
support current and future state and federal legislation;
4. Adopt a resolution (i.e., 2018-39) to consider housing that is affordable in future public land
acquisitions;
5. Accept the Affordable Housing Density Bonus Program (AHDB Program) to increase the
affordable housing density bonus from eight extra units per acre to up to 12 extra units per
acre; and
6. Adopt a resolution (i.e., 2018-40) to amend the expedited permitting and fast-track procedure.
This LDC amendment represents the end-product of #1 (definition) and #5 (AHDB Program) above. It
simplifies the definition of affordable housing and makes the terminology and income levels consistent
with the Florida Statutes and federal guidelines. It also increases the maximum available, affordable
17.C
Packet Pg. 1428
01/22/2019
housing density bonus from 8 units to 12 units per acre, among other changes.
In addition to changing the definitions and increasing the maximum density bonus, other noteworthy
updates include: changing the minimum number of required affordable housing units per development,
from 10 units to 10 percent of the total housing units, which is consistent with current Community and
Human Services policy; and changing the upper limit of the gap-income housing category, lowering it
from 150% of median income to 140%, which is consistent with the Board’s direction.
Development Services Advisory Committee-Land Development Review (DSAC-LDR) on August 21,
2018 - Recommendations:
1. Reword a portion of the affordable housing definition, in part, by creating two separate sentences from
what was one longer sentence.
2. Modify Table A. Affordable Housing Density Bonus to include the table’s title as the top row, re -
introduce a note under the table that was previously earmarked by staff for deletion, and renumber the
notes associated with the table.
3. Change the income verification provisions to allow the most recent year’s filed income tax returns.
DSAC on September 05, 2018 - Recommendation:
1. Incorporate the minor changes that staff mentioned at the DSAC meeting.
COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION (CCPC) ON NOVEMBER 1, 2018 -
RECOMMENDATION: Commissioner Schmitt made a motion to recommend approval, which was
seconded by Commissioner Fryer. The vote carried 6-0 with the following changes:
1. Eliminate the Extremely-low-income household category in the definitions section, since that term is
not used in the LDC.
2. Add the term “assets” to LDC section 2.06.05 B.1.(b). to clarify that household income eligibility
requires, among other criteria, verification of household income AND assets, and not just income.
3. Modify the definition of affordable housing to include, “for those households within the affordable
income range.”
4. Add strike-outs to the last row of Table A.
The CCPC expressed concern regarding the inclusion of various fees (e.g., internet, cable, country-club,
etc.) into the calculation for deriving cost-burdened households.
The attached strikethrough/underline amendment reflects the above recommendations. Staff requests the
Board to approve this Land Development Code Amendment.
FISCAL IMPACT: There are no anticipated fiscal or operational impacts associated with this
amendment other than routine advertising costs.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: At the December 11, 2018 Public Hearing, the Board adopted
a GMP-amendment which revised terminology and increased the affordable housing density bonus from 8
to 12 dwelling units per acre. That amendment is currently satisfying the State required 30 -day challenge
17.C
Packet Pg. 1429
01/22/2019
period before it becomes official (1-31-19). The Board adoption of the GMP amendment was required for
this LDC amendment to be found consistent with the GMP.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality, and requires an
affirmative vote of four for Board approval - SAS
RECOMMENDATION: To approve the attached ordinance relating to affordable housing.

SUBSECTION 3.___. AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 2.06.01 GENERALLY
Section 2.06.01 Generally, of Ordinance 04-41, as amended, the Collier County Land
Development Code, is hereby amended to read as follows:
2.06.01 Generally
A. Within most of the coastal urban designated areas identified on the future land use map of
the Collier County GMP, a base density of four (4) residential dwelling units per gross
acre is permitted. However, the base density may be adjusted depending on the
characteristics of the development. One characteristic of a housing development which
would allow the addition of density bonuses in order to increase the density over the
base density is the provision of affordable housing in the development. The provision of
affordable housing units may add up to eight (8) 12 dwelling units per gross acre to the
base density of four (4) residential dwelling units per gross acre, for a total of twelve (12)
residential dwelling units per gross acre, plus any other density bonuses available, and
minus any density reduction for traffic congestion area that is required, pursuant to the
Collier County GMP. The total eligible density must not exceed the maximum density
allowed pursuant to the GMP a total of sixteen (16) dwelling units per gross acre, except
as allowed through use of transfer of development rights, as provided for in the growth
management plan. The program to accomplish this increase to provide affordable housing
is called the affordable housing density bonus (ADHB) program.
B. Within most of the Immokalee Urban area, as identified on the Immokalee area master
plan future land use map of the growth management plan, base densities are four or
six or eight residential dwelling units per gross acre. However, the base density may
be adjusted depending on the characteristics of the development. One characteristic of
a housing development that would allow the addition of density bonuses is the provision
of affordable housing in the development. The provision of affordable housing units
may add up to 12 eight dwelling units per gross acre to the base density of four, six

or eight residential dwelling units per gross acre, for a total of twelve, fourteen or
sixteen residential dwelling units per gross acre, plus any other density bonuses
available. The total eligible density must not exceed the maximum allowed pursuant to the
GMP a total of 16 dwelling units per gross acre.
C. Within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay of the Agricultural/Rural area, as
identified on the future land use map of the growth management plan, towns, villages,
hamlets and compact rural developments are allowed at a density range of one-half to
four dwelling units per gross acre. The allowed density may be adjusted depending on
the characteristics of the development. One characteristic of a housing development
that would allow the addition of density bonuses is the provision of affordable housing
in the development. The provision of affordable housing units may add up to eight
dwelling units per gross acre to the allowed density of one-half to four dwelling units
per gross acre, for a total of eight and one-half to twelve and one-half residential
dwelling units per gross acre, plus any other density bonuses available.
D. In order to qualify for the AHDB for a development, the developer must apply for and
obtain the AHDB from the County for a development in accordance with this section,
especially in accordance with the provisions of the AHDB program, including the AHDB
rating system, the AHDB monitoring program, and the limitations on the AHDB.
1. Preapplication conference. Prior to submitting an application for AHDB, a
preapplication conference may be scheduled with the County Manager or his
designee. If the proposed development is to include affordable housing, the
housing and urban improvement director, must participate in the
preapplication conference. The preapplication conference provides an
opportunity to familiarize the applicant with the AHDB program and provides an
opportunity for the county staff to obtain a clear understanding of the proposed
development. The AHDB rating system, the AHDB monitoring program, the
limitations, criteria, procedures, standard conditions, standard forms, and other
information will be discussed and made available to the applicant. Depending on
the type of development proposed, the application may be combined with an
application for a planned unit development (PUD), a rezone, or a Stewardship
Receiving Area.

B. This objective is accomplished by implementing an AHDB program which consists of an
AHDB rating system and an AHDB monitoring program. The purpose of the AHDB
rating system is to provide increased residential densities to developers who guarantee
that a portion of their housing development will be affordable by households of gap-,
moderate-, low-, or very-low-income, thus expanding housing opportunities for gap-,
moderate-, low-, and very-low-income households throughout the county. The purpose
of the AHDB monitoring program is to provide assurance that the program is properly
implemented, monitored, and enforced, and that useful information on affordable
housing may be collected.

Section 2.06.03 AHDB Rating System, of Ordinance 04-41, as amended, the Collier County Land
Development Code, is hereby amended to read as follows:
2.06.03 AHDB Rating System
A. The AHDB rating system shall be used to determine the amount of the AHDB which may
be granted for a development, based on household income level, type of affordable
housing units (owner-occupied or rental, single-family or multi-family), and percentage
of affordable housing units in the development. To use the AHDB rating system, Table
A below, shall be used. Table A shall be reviewed and updated, if necessary, on an
annual basis by the BCC or its designee.
1. First, choose the household income level (50% of median income, 60% of
median income, or 80% of median income) of the affordable housing unit(s)
proposed in the development, and the type of affordable housing units (owner-
occupied or rental, single-family or multi-family, where applicable) to be
provided, as shown in Table A. An AHDB based on the household income
level is shown in Table A. Table A will indicate the maximum number of
residential dwelling units per gross acre that may be added to the base
density. These additional residential dwelling units per gross acre are the
maximum AHDB available to that development. Developments with
percentages of affordable housing units which fall in between the percentages
shown on Table A shall receive an AHDB equal to the lower of the 2 percentages
it lies between, plus 1/10 of a residential dwelling unit per gross acre for each
additional percentage of affordable housing units in the development. For
example, a development which has 24 percent of its total residential dwelling
units as affordable housing units, at the 80 percent MI level will receive an AHDB
of 2.4 residential dwelling units per gross acre for the development.
2. Where more than 1 type of affordable housing unit (based on level of income
shown in Table A) is proposed for a development, the AHDB for each type shall be
calculated separately. After the AHDB calculations for each type of affordable
housing unit have been completed, the AHDB for each type of unit shall be
added to those for the other type(s) to determine the maximum AHDB available

A. Affordable housing density bonus development agreement required. The AHDB shall
be available to a development only when an AHDB development agreement has been
entered into by the developer/ applicant and the BCC, and such agreement has been
approved by the county attorney and the BCC pursuant to the public hearing process
established in this section prior to execution. Amendments to such agreement shall be

processed as a regular agenda item before the BCC unless there is a companion land
use petition in the same manner as the original agreement. The AHDB development
agreement shall include, at a minimum, the following provisions:
1. Legal description of the land subject to the agreement and the names of its
legal and equitable owners.
2. Total number of residential dwelling units in the development.
3. Minimum number of affordable housing units, categorized by level of household
income, type of unit (single-family or multifamily, owner-occupied or rental), and
number of bedrooms, required in the development.
4. Maximum number of AHDB dwelling units permitted in the development.
5. Gross residential density of the development.
6. Amount of monthly rent for rental units, or the price and conditions under which an
owner-occupied unit will be sold, for each type of affordable housing unit in
accordance with the definition for each type of affordable housing rental unit–
(moderate, low-, and very-low-income).
7. The foregoing notwithstanding, any rent charged for an affordable housing unit
rented to a low- or very-low-income household family shall not exceed 90 percent
of the rent charged for a comparable market rate dwelling in the same or similar
development. Comparable market rate means the rental; amount charged for the
last market rate dwelling unit of comparable market rate dwelling in the same or
similar development. Comparable market rate means the rental amount charged
for the last market rate dwelling unit of comparable square footage, amenities, and
number of bedrooms, to be rented in the same development the amount published
by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation for Collier County adjusted by income
level, family size, and number of bedrooms, and updated annually.

8. No affordable housing unit in the development shall be rented to a tenant
whose household income has not been verified and certified in accordance with
this division as a moderate, low-, or very-low-income household family . Such
verification and certification shall be the responsibility of the developer and
shall be submitted to the County Manager or his designee for approval. Tenant
income verification and certification shall be repeated annually to assure continued
eligibility.
9. No affordable housing unit that is to be sold, leased with option to purchase, or
otherwise conveyed in the development shall be sold, leased with option to
purchase, or otherwise conveyed to a buyer whose household income has not
been verified and certified in accordance with this section as a gap-, moderate-,
low-, or very-low-income household family. Such verification and certification shall
be the responsibility of the developer and shall be submitted to the County
Manager or his designee for approval. It is the intent of this section to keep housing
affordable; therefore, any person who buys an affordable housing unit must agree,
in a lien instrument to be recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Collier
County, Florida, that if he sells the property is sold (to a non-income qualified
buyer, including the land and/or the unit) within 15 years after the his original
purchase at a sales price in excess of five percent per year of the his original
purchase price that he will pay to the county an amount equal to one-half of the
sales price in excess of five percent increase per year. The lien instrument may
be subordinated to a qualifying first mortgage.
10. For example, a person originally buys a designated affordable housing unit (a
house) for $60,000.00 and sells it after five years for $80,000.00. A five percent
increase per year for five years will give a value of $76,577.00. Deducting this
amount from the sales price of $80,000.00 gives a difference of $3,423.00. The
seller would then owe the county $1,711.50 (one-half of $3,423.00). Payment
of this amount would release the recorded lien first owner from the recorded
lien against the property. Such payment shall be maintained in a segregated
fund, established by the county solely for affordable housing purposes, and such
money shall be used solely to encourage, provide for, or promote affordable
housing in Collier County.

11. No affordable housing unit in any building or structure in the development shall
be occupied by the developer, any person related to or affiliated with the
developer, or a resident manager.
12. When the developer advertises, rents, sells or maintains the affordable housing
unit, it must advertise, rent, sell, and maintain the same in a nondiscriminatory
manner and make available any relevant information to any person who is
interested in renting or purchasing such affordable housing unit. The developer
shall agree to be responsible for payment of any real estate commissions and
fees. The affordable housing units in the development shall be identified on all
building plans submitted to the county and described in the application for
AHDB.
13. The developer shall not disclose to persons, other than the potential tenant,
buyer or lender of the particular affordable housing unit or units, which units in
the development are designated as affordable housing units.
14. The square footage, construction and design of the affordable housing units shall
be the same as market rate dwelling units in the development.
15. The AHDB agreement and authorized development shall be consistent with the
growth management plan and land development regulations of Collier County
that are in effect at the time of development. Subsequently adopted laws and
policies shall apply to the AHDB agreement and the development to the extent that
they are not in conflict with the number, type of affordable housing units and the
amount of AHDB approved for the development.
16. The affordable housing units shall be intermixed with, and not segregated
from, the market rate dwelling units in the development.
17. The conditions contained in the AHDB development agreement shall constitute
covenants, restrictions, and conditions which shall run with the land and shall be

binding upon the property and every person having any interest therein at any time
and from time to time.
18. The AHDB development agreement shall be recorded in the official records of
Collier County, Florida, subsequent to the recordation of the grant deed pursuant
to which the developer acquires fee simple title to the property.
19. Each affordable housing rental unit shall be restricted to remain and be maintained
as the type of affordable housing rental unit (moderate, low- or very-low-
income) designated in accordance with the AHDB development agreement for
at least 30 15 years from the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for such unit.
20. Each affordable housing owner -occupied unit shall be restricted to remain and be
maintained as the type of affordable housing owner-occupied unit (gap-,
m o d e r a t e -, low-, or very-low-income) designated in accordance with the
AHDB development agreement for at least 15 years from the issuance of a
certificate of occupancy for such unit.
21. The developer and owner of a rental the development shall provide on-site
management to assure appropriate security, maintenance and appearance of the
development and the dwelling units where these issues are a factor.
B. Compliance with growth management plan and land development regulations. The AHDB
shall be available to a development only to the extent that it otherwise complies and is
consistent with the GMP and the land development regulations, including the procedures,
requirements, conditions and criteria for planned unit developments (PUDs) and
rezonings, where applicable.
C. Minimum number of affordable housing units. The minimum number of affordable
housing units that shall be provided in a development pursuant to this section shall be
ten 10 percent of the total affordable housing units.

E. Phasing. In the case where a development will occur in more than one phase, the
percentage of affordable housing units to which the developer has committed for the
total development shall be maintained in each phase and shall be constructed as
part of each phase of the development on the property. For example, if the total
development's AHDB is based on the provision of ten percent of the total dwelling units
as affordable housing rental units for low-income households with two bedrooms per
unit, then each phase must maintain that same percentage (10 ten percent in this case)

2.06.05 Affordable Housing Density Bonus Monitoring Program
A. Annual progress and monitoring report. The AHDB for a development shall be subject to
the AHDB monitoring program set forth in this section. The developer shall provide the
County Manager or his designee with an annual progress and monitoring report regarding
the delivery of affordable housing rental/ownership units throughout the period of their
construction, rental, sale, and occupancy for each of the developer's developments which
involve the AHDB in a form developed by the County Manager or his designee. The
annual progress and monitoring report shall, at a minimum, require any information
reasonably helpful to ensure compliance with this section and provide information with
regard to affordable housing in Collier County. To the extent feasible, the County
Manager or his designee shall maintain public records of all dwelling units (AHDB and
affordable housing units) constructed pursuant to the AHDB program, all affordable
housing units constructed pursuant to the AHDB program, occupancy statistics of such
dwelling units, complaints of violations of this section which are alleged to have
occurred, the disposition of all such complaints, a list of those persons who have
participated as tenants or buyers in the AHDB program, and such other records and

information as the County Manager or his designee believes may be necessary or
desirable to monitor the success of the AHDB program and the degree of compliance
therewith. Failure to complete and submit the monitoring report to the County Manager
or his designee within 60 days from the due date will result in a penalty of up to $50.00
per day per incident or occurrence unless a written extension not to exceed 30 days is
requested prior to expiration of the 60-day submission deadline.
B. Income verification and certification.
1. Eligibility. The determination of eligibility of gap-, moderate-, low-, and very-low-
income households to rent or buy and occupy affordable housing units is the
central component of the AHDB monitoring program. Household income eligibility
is a three-step process:
(a) Submittal of an application by a buyer or tenant;
(b) Verification of household income and assets; and
(c) Execution of an income certification.
All three shall be accomplished prior to a buyer or tenant being qualified as an
eligible household to rent or purchase and occupy an affordable housing unit
pursuant to the AHDB program. No person shall occupy an affordable housing
unit provided under the AHDB program prior to being qualified at the appropriate
level of income (gap-, moderate-, low-, or very-low-income).
Eligibility. The determination of eligibility of moderate, low, and very low
income families to rent or buy and occupy affordable housing units is the central
component of the AHDB monitoring program. Family income eligibility is a three-
step process: (1) submittal of an application by a buyer or tenant; (2) verification
of family income; and (3) execution of an income certification. All three shall be
accomplished prior to a buyer or tenant being qualified as an eligible family to rent
or purchase and occupy an affordable housing unit pursuant to the AHDB program.
No person shall occupy an affordable housing unit provided under the AHDB

2. The developer shall be responsible for accepting applications from buyers or
tenants, verifying income and obtaining the income certification for its development
which involves AHDB, and all forms and documentation must be provided to the
County Manager or his designee prior to qualification of the buyer or tenant as
a gap-, moderate-, low-, or very-low-income household family. The County
Manager or his designee shall review all documentation provided, and may verify
the information provided from time to time. Prior to occupancy by a qualified
buyer or tenant, the developer shall provide to the County Manager or his
designee, at a minimum, the application for affordable housing qualification,
including the income verification form and the income certification form, and the
purchase contract, lease, or rental agreement for that qualified buyer or tenant.
At a minimum, the lease shall include the name, address and telephone number
of the head of household and all other occupants, a description of the unit to be
rented, the term of the lease, the rental amount, the use of the premises, and
the rights and obligations of the parties. Random inspections to verify occupancy
in accordance with this section may be conducted by the County Manager or his
designee.
3. Application. A potential buyer or tenant shall apply to the developer, owner,
manager, or agent to qualify as a gap-, moderate-, low-, or very-low-income
household f a m i l y for the purpose of renting, or owning and occupying an
affordable housing rental unit pursuant to the AHDB program. The application for
affordable housing qualification shall be in a form provided by the County Manager
or his designee and may be a part of the income certification form.
4. Income verification. The County Manager or his designee or the developer shall
obtain written verification from the potential occupant (including the entire
household) to verify all regular sources of income to the potential tenant/owner
(including the entire household). The written verification form shall include, at a
minimum, the purpose of the verification, a statement to release information,
employer verification of gross annual income or rate of pay, number of hours
worked, frequency of pay, bonuses, tips and commissions and a signature block

BACKGROUND:
The Board of County Commissioners (Board) held two affordable housing workshops, one in 2015 and
the other in 2016. These workshops served as the catalyst to form the Housing Stakeholders Group
(HSG). The HSG was tasked with creating a two-phase Community Housing Plan (CHP). The first
phase of the CHP consisted of the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) recommendations from their report titled
A ULI Advisory Services Panel Report Collier County, Florida, January 29-February 3, 2017. The ULI
report indicated that Collier County has an affordability problem, and it may become a crisis if
unaddressed. The Board unanimously accepted the CHP (Item #11.A) on October 25, 2017 and directed
Staff to bring forward each suggestion in the report individually for discussions in workshops.
On February 27, 2018, the Board accepted elements of the CHP by voting in favor of the following:
1.Approve new affordable housing definitions in accordance with discussion at the meeting;
2.Accept the staff-recommended updates of the housing demand model and its methodology;
3.Adopt a resolution (i.e., 2018-38) to advocate support and authorize the county's lobbyists to
support current and future state and federal legislation;
4.Adopt a resolution (i.e., 2018-39) to consider housing that is affordable in future public land
acquisitions;
5. Accept the Affordable Housing Density Bonus Program (AHDB Program) to increase the
affordable housing density bonus from eight extra units per acre to up to 12 extra units per acre; and
6.Adopt a resolution (i.e., 2018-40) to amend the expedited permitting and fast track procedure.
This code amendment represents the end-product of #1 (definition) and #5 (AHDB Program) above.
Under the definition there are five income levels detailed, ranging up to 140 percent Median Income
(MI) for Collier County. These income categories include the following: extremely-low-income, very-

low-income, low-income, moderate-income, and gap-income. Costs used to determine affordability
include the anticipated monthly rent/mortgage payment, property tax, insurance, and required fees (such
as mandatory condominium or homeowner association fees and assessments).
There are four income levels used in the AHDB Program, including very-low-income, low-income,
moderate-income, and gap-income. For purposes of the AHDB Program, the extremely-low-income
category is grouped together with the very-low-income category, which staff anticipates is sufficient to
address the full spectrum of housing to be built. Even though the extremely-low-income category is not
used in the Program, it is important to retain this threshold of household income in the Definitions,
because this category is used in other County programs and reports. In accordance with F.S. 420.9075
(4)(e) and to avoid duplicative efforts, staff also is proposing a provision in LDC section 2.06.05 B.6,
which would allow staff to accept annual reports from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation to help
developers demonstrate compliance with tenant eligibility and qualification requirements of the AHDB
Program.
This amendment would change the minimum number of required affordable housing units per
development, from 10 units to 10 percent of the total housing units. This change is consistent with
current Community and Human Services policy. This amendment would also change the upper limit of
the gap-income housing category, lowering it from 150% of median income to 140%, which is consistent
with the Board’s direction.
DSAC-LDR Recommendations:
1. Reword a portion of the affordable housing definition, in part, by creating two separate sentences
from what was one longer sentence.
2. Modify Table A. Affordable Housing Density Bonus to include the table’s title as the top row, re-
introduce a note under the table that was previously earmarked by staff for deletion, and renumber the
notes associated with the table.
3. Change the income verification provisions to allow the most recent year’s filed income tax returns.
DSAC Recommendations:
1. Incorporate the minor changes that staff mentioned at the DSAC meeting.
FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS
There are no anticipated fiscal or operational
impacts associated with this amendment.
GMP CONSISTENCY
There is a related GMP amendment that proposes
to revise terminology and increase the affordable
housing density bonus from 8 to 12 dwelling units
per acre. That GMP amendment is necessary so
that this LDC amendment may be found consistent
with the GMP.

would allow the addition of density bonuses in order to increase the density over the 1
base density is the provision of affordable housing in the development. The provision of 2
affordable housing units may add up to eight (8) 12 dwelling units per gross acre to the 3
base density of four (4) residential dwelling units per gross acre, for a total of twelve (12) 4
residential dwelling units per gross acre, plus any other density bonuses available, and 5
minus any density reduction for traffic congestion area that is required, pursuant to the 6
Collier County GMP. The total eligible density must not exceed the maximum density 7
allowed pursuant to the GMP a total of sixteen (16) dwelling units per gross acre, except 8
as allowed through use of transfer of development rights, as provided for in the growth 9
management plan. The program to accomplish this increase to provide affordable housing 10
is called the affordable housing density bonus (ADHB) program. 11
12
B. Within most of the Immokalee Urban area, as identified on the Immokalee area master 13
plan future land use map of the growth management plan, base densities are four or 14
six or eight residential dwelling units per gross acre. However, the base density may 15
be adjusted depending on the characteristics of the development. One characteristic of 16
a housing development that would allow the addition of density bonuses is the provision 17
of affordable housing in the development. The provision of affordable housing units 18
may add up to 12 eight dwelling units per gross acre to the base density of four, six 19
or eight residential dwelling units per gross acre, for a total of twelve, fourteen or 20
sixteen residential dwelling units per gross acre, plus any other density bonuses 21
available. The total eligible density must not exceed the maximum allowed pursuant to the 22
GMP a total of 16 dwelling units per gross acre. 23
24
C. Within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay of the Agricultural/Rural area, as 25
identified on the future land use map of the growth management plan, towns, villages, 26
hamlets and compact rural developments are allowed at a density range of one-half to 27
four dwelling units per gross acre. The allowed density may be adjusted depending on 28
the characteristics of the development. One characteristic of a housing development 29
that would allow the addition of density bonuses is the provision of affordable housing 30
in the development. The provision of affordable housing units may add up to eight 31
dwelling units per gross acre to the allowed density of one-half to four dwelling units 32
per gross acre, for a total of eight and one-half to twelve and one-half residential 33
dwelling units per gross acre, plus any other density bonuses available. 34
35
D. In order to qualify for the AHDB for a development, the developer must apply for and 36
obtain the AHDB from the County for a development in accordance with this section, 37
especially in accordance with the provisions of the AHDB program, including the AHDB 38
rating system, the AHDB monitoring program, and the limitations on the AHDB. 39
40
1. Preapplication conference. Prior to submitting an application for AHDB, a 41
preapplication conference may be scheduled with the County Manager or his 42
designee. If the proposed development is to include affordable housing, the 43
housing and urban improvement director, must participate in the 44
preapplication conference. The preapplication conference provides an 45
opportunity to familiarize the applicant with the AHDB program and provides an 46
opportunity for the county staff to obtain a clear understanding of the proposed 47

33
2.06.02 – Purpose and Intent 34
35
A. Section 2.06.00 is intended to implement and be consistent with the GMP, § 163.3161 36
et seq. F.S, Rule 9J-5, F.A.C., and the Stipulated Settlement Agreement in DOAH 37
Case No. 89-1299 GM, by providing for moderate-, low-, and very-low-income housing 38
through the use of density bonuses which allow an increase in the number of residential 39
dwelling units per acre allowed on property proposed for development, thereby 40
decreasing the per unit cost of land and development. 41
42
B. This objective is accomplished by implementing an AHDB program which consists of an 43
AHDB rating system and an AHDB monitoring program. The purpose of the AHDB 44
rating system is to provide increased residential densities to developers who guarantee 45
that a portion of their housing development will be affordable by households of gap-, 46
moderate-, low-, or very-low-income, thus expanding housing opportunities for gap-, 47

moderate-, low-, and very-low-income households throughout the county. The purpose 1
of the AHDB monitoring program is to provide assurance that the program is properly 2
implemented, monitored, and enforced, and that useful information on affordable 3
housing may be collected. 4
5
2.06.03 – AHDB Rating System 6
7
A. The AHDB rating system shall be used to determine the amount of the AHDB which may 8
be granted for a development, based on household income level, type of affordable 9
housing units (owner-occupied or rental, single-family or multi-family), and percentage 10
of affordable housing units in the development. To use the AHDB rating system, Table 11
A below, shall be used. Table A shall be reviewed and updated, if necessary, on an 12
annual basis by the BCC or its designee. 13
14
1. First, choose the household income level (50% of median income, 60% of 15
median income, or 80% of median income) of the affordable housing unit(s) 16
proposed in the development, and the type of affordable housing units (owner-17
occupied or rental, single-family or multi-family, where applicable) to be 18
provided, as shown in Table A. An AHDB based on the household income 19
level is shown in Table A. Table A will indicate the maximum number of 20
residential dwelling units per gross acre that may be added to the base 21
density. These additional residential dwelling units per gross acre are the 22
maximum AHDB available to that development. Developments with 23
percentages of affordable housing units which fall in between the percentages 24
shown on Table A shall receive an AHDB equal to the lower of the 2 percentages 25
it lies between, plus 1/10 of a residential dwelling unit per gross acre for each 26
additional percentage of affordable housing units in the development. For 27
example, a development which has 24 percent of its total residential dwelling 28
units as affordable housing units, at the 80 percent MI level will receive an AHDB 29
of 2.4 residential dwelling units per gross acre for the development. 30
31
2. Where more than 1 type of affordable housing unit (based on level of income 32
shown in Table A) is proposed for a development, the AHDB for each type shall 33
be calculated separately. After the AHDB calculations for each type of 34
affordable housing unit have been completed, the AHDB for each type of unit 35
shall be added to those for the other type(s) to determine the maximum 36
AHDB available for the development. In no event shall the AHDB exceed eight 37
(8) dwelling units per gross acre. 38

Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the following limitations and conditions shall apply to all 24
of the AHDB for a development: 25
26
A. Affordable housing density bonus development agreement required. The AHDB shall 27
be available to a development only when an AHDB development agreement has been 28
entered into by the developer/ applicant and the BCC, and such agreement has been 29
approved by the county attorney and the BCC pursuant to the public hearing process 30
established in this section prior to execution. Amendments to such agreement shall be 31
processed as a regular agenda item before the BCC unless there is a companion land 32
use petition in the same manner as the original agreement. The AHDB development 33
agreement shall include, at a minimum, the following provisions: 34
35
1. Legal description of the land subject to the agreement and the names of its 36
legal and equitable owners. 37
38
2. Total number of residential dwelling units in the development. 39
40
3. Minimum number of affordable housing units, categorized by level of household 41
income, type of unit (single-family or multifamily, owner-occupied or rental), and 42
number of bedrooms, required in the development. 43

6. Amount of monthly rent for rental units, or the price and conditions under which an 2
owner-occupied unit will be sold, for each type of affordable housing unit in 3
accordance with the definition for each type of affordable housing rental unit– 4
(moderate, low-, and very-low-income). 5
6
7. The foregoing notwithstanding, any rent charged for an affordable housing unit 7
rented to a low- or very-low-income household family shall not exceed 90 percent 8
of the rent charged for a comparable market rate dwelling in the same or similar 9
development. Comparable market rate means the rental; amount charged for the 10
last market rate dwelling unit of comparable market rate dwelling in the same or 11
similar development. Comparable market rate means the rental amount charged 12
for the last market rate dwelling unit of comparable square footage, amenities, and 13
number of bedrooms, to be rented in the same development the amount published 14
by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation for Collier County adjusted by income 15
level, family size, and number of bedrooms, and updated annually. 16
17
8. No affordable housing unit in the development shall be rented to a tenant 18
whose household income has not been verified and certified in accordance with 19
this division as a moderate, low-, or very-low-income household family . Such 20
verification and certification shall be the responsibility of the developer and 21
shall be submitted to the County Manager or his designee for approval. Tenant 22
income verification and certification shall be repeated annually to assure continued 23
eligibility. 24
25
9. No affordable housing unit that is to be sold, leased with option to purchase, or 26
otherwise conveyed in the development shall be sold, leased with option to 27
purchase, or otherwise conveyed to a buyer whose household income has not 28
been verified and certified in accordance with this section as a gap-, moderate-, 29
low-, or very-low-income household family. Such verification and certification shall 30
be the responsibility of the developer and shall be submitted to the County 31
Manager or his designee for approval. It is the intent of this section to keep housing 32
affordable; therefore, any person who buys an affordable housing unit must agree, 33
in a lien instrument to be recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Collier 34
County, Florida, that if he sells the property is sold (to a non-income qualified 35
buyer, including the land and/or the unit) within 15 years after the his original 36
purchase at a sales price in excess of five percent per year of the his original 37
purchase price that he will pay to the county an amount equal to one-half of the 38
sales price in excess of five percent increase per year. The lien instrument may 39
be subordinated to a qualifying first mortgage. 40
41
10. For example, a person originally buys a designated affordable housing unit (a 42
house) for $60,000.00 and sells it after five years for $80,000.00. A five percent 43
increase per year for five years will give a value of $76,577.00. Deducting this 44
amount from the sales price of $80,000.00 gives a diff erence of $3,423.00. The 45
seller would then owe the county $1,711.50 (one-half of $3,423.00). Payment 46
of this amount would release the recorded lien first owner from the recorded 47

fund, established by the county solely for affordable housing purposes, and such 2
money shall be used solely to encourage, provide for, or promote affordable 3
housing in Collier County. 4
5
11. No affordable housing unit in any building or structure in the development shall 6
be occupied by the developer, any person related to or affiliated with the 7
developer, or a resident manager. 8
9
12. When the developer advertises, rents, sells or maintains the affordable housing 10
unit, it must advertise, rent, sell, and maintain the same in a nondiscriminatory 11
manner and make available any relevant information to any person who is 12
interested in renting or purchasing such affordable housing unit. The developer 13
shall agree to be responsible for payment of any real estate commissions and 14
fees. The affordable housing units in the development shall be identified on all 15
building plans submitted to the county and described in the application for 16
AHDB. 17
18
13. The developer shall not disclose to persons, other than the potential tenant, 19
buyer or lender of the particular affordable housing unit or units, which units in 20
the development are designated as affordable housing units. 21
22
14. The square footage, construction and design of the affordable housing units shall 23
be the same as market rate dwelling units in the development. 24
25
15. The AHDB agreement and authorized development shall be consistent with the 26
growth management plan and land development regulations of Collier County 27
that are in effect at the time of development. Subsequently adopted laws and 28
policies shall apply to the AHDB agreement and the development to the extent that 29
they are not in conflict with the number, type of affordable housing units and the 30
amount of AHDB approved for the development. 31
32
16. The affordable housing units shall be intermixed with, and not segregated 33
from, the market rate dwelling units in the development. 34

17. The conditions contained in the AHDB development agreement shall constitute 36
covenants, restrictions, and conditions which shall run with the land and shall be 37
binding upon the property and every person having any interest therein at any time 38
and from time to time. 39

of family income; and (3) execution of an income certification. All three shall be 35
accomplished prior to a buyer or tenant being qualified as an eligible family to rent 36
or purchase and occupy an affordable housing unit pursuant to the AHDB program. 37
No person shall occupy an affordable housing unit provided under the AHDB 38
program prior to being qualified at the appropriate level of income (moderate, low 39
or very low income). 40

of the head of household and all other occupants, a description of the unit to be 7
rented, the term of the lease, the rental amount, the use of the premises, and 8
the rights and obligations of the parties. Random inspections to verify occupancy 9
in accordance with this section may be conducted by the County Manager or his 10
designee. 11
12
3. Application. A potential buyer or tenant shall apply to the developer, owner, 13
manager, or agent to qualify as a gap-, moderate-, low-, or very-low-income 14
household f a m i l y for the purpose of renting, or owning and occupying an 15
affordable housing rental unit pursuant to the AHDB program. The application for 16
affordable housing qualification shall be in a form provided by the County Manager 17
or his designee and may be a part of the income certification form. 18
19
4. Income verification. The County Manager or his designee or the developer shall 20
obtain written verification from the potential occupant (including the entire 21
household) to verify all regular sources of income to the potential tenant/owner 22
(including the entire household). The written verification form shall include, at a 23
minimum, the purpose of the verification, a statement to release information, 24
employer verification of gross annual income or rate of pay, number of hours 25
worked, frequency of pay, bonuses, tips and commissions and a signature block 26
with the date of application. The verification may take the form of the most recent 27
year's federal income tax return for the potential occupants (including the entire 28
household), a statement to release information, tenant verification of the return, 29
and a signature block with the date of application. The verification shall be valid 30
for up to 90 days prior to occupancy. Upon expiration of the 90-day period, the 31
information may be verbally updated from the original sources for an additional 32
30 days, provided it has been documented by the person preparing the original 33
verification. After this time, a new verification form must be completed. The income 34
verification may take the form of the most recent year’s filed income tax return for 35
each occupant who had filed and will occupy the affordable housing unit. 36
37
5. Income certification. Upon receipt of the application and verification of income, 38
an income certification form shall be executed by the potential buyer or tenant 39
(including the entire household) prior to sale or rental and occupancy of the 40
affordable housing unit by the owner or tenant. Income certification that the 41
potential occupant has a gap-, moderate-, low-, or very-low-income household 42
income qualifies the potential occupant as an eligible household family to 43
buy or rent and occupy an affordable housing unit under the AHDB program. The 44
income certification shall be in a form provided by the County Manager or his 45
designee. 46

consistent with Florida Statutes and federal guidelines. The upper limit of the gap-income
housing category would be lowered from 150% of median income to 140%, consistent
with the Board’s direction. The opening paragraph specifically includes assessment and
fees, which were at the request of the Board of County Commissioners (Board) from their

allowable density should be based upon that which is allowed by the Growth Management
Plan (GMP).

recommendations of the Community Housing Plan (CHP) that were accepted by the Board
of Commissioners on February 27, 2018.

administratively and were deemed by staff to serve little value in the Land Development
Code (LDC).
Eliminated repeating terms.
Included gap-income household to include relevant income categories.

2.06.03 Eliminated existing language that was deemed by staff to be an administrative process or
procedure that is unnecessary to be included in the LDC.
Clarified, reorganized, corrected, or abbreviated various terms, grammar, or provisions
throughout this section.
Increased the maximum allowable density bonuses in accordance with the
recommendations of the Community Housing Plan (CHP) that were accepted by the Board
of Commissioners on February 27, 2018.
Proposing a new table that will reflect the maximum allowable density bonus.
