cormac recapped what will be on the agenda for the Bcc meeting being held on February 12,
2019. Commissioner Taylor made a motion to put a reconsideration of the proposed land
development code on this agenda. The two items of main issue are the new definition of
affordable housing and changing the density bonus ftom 8 to 12 per acre. This item requires
a 4 out ofthe 5 votes to pass. At the previous meeting the vote was 3 against and 2 for. The
BCC wants to hear from the public and main employers in the county to find out if affordable
housing is still a need in Collier County. This will be a time certain item and Cormac will send
out an e-mail to the members stating the time so that everyone may attend. steve Hruby
encouraged all members to attend to voice their opinion that we do indeed need affordable
housing.
cormac gave a recap on all of the existing grant projects and their completion. our guideline
is that we want the project done in one year, however that time frame would need to be
extended if an environmental needs to be done. lt could take up to a year just to get the
environmental portion completed.
cormac told the group that Joe schmitt invited him to the meeting of the Planning
commission to discuss the Allura rental development. cormac said he would state that there
is not a need for 80-120% rentals (2 bedroom for 52,025), but would sugSest that the rentals
be targeted to 80% or less (2 bedroom for $1,350).
Mary Waller asked about the Bembrid8e project. cormac told her he would send out the link
to the proposal when it Sets released later this week.
steve Hruby asked about the rule that all property sales or purchases incorporate affordable
housing in relatlon to the bus barn on Randall.
