THE COLLIER COUNTY AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMISSION
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHANGES TO THE IMPACT FEE
DEFERRAL PROGRAM
Background: On September 11, 2007 Collier County staff presented to the Board of
County Commissioners (BCe) five issues relating to the Impact Fee Deferral Program.
The BCC directed staff to refer the issues to the Affordable Housing Commission (AHC)
to obtain recommendation. Below please find a summary of the five issues and the
AHC's recommendations, as discussed at the AHC monthly meetings.
ISSUE ONE
That the Board consider amending the Rental Unit Impact Fee Program by
placing a cap on the amount of Impact Fees that can be deferred for the
Rental Unit Impact Fee Deferral Program.
AHC - RECOMMENDATION ONE
The AHC voted to impose a cap of 225 units per fiscal year for rental unit
impact fee deferral. At the BCC meeting on 12/11/2007, under agenda
item 80, a cap of 225 units per fiscal year was approved and adopted.
ISSUE TWO
That the Board consider amending the Rental Unit Impact Fee Program to
expressly allow for qualified local government entities (such as the Fire
Districts and Co llier County School District) and certain non-profit private
entities (such as private hospitals and universities) to purchase individual
rental units for qualified employees.
AHC - RECOMMENDATION TWO
The AHC believes that the provision suggested in Issue Two has been
addressed in Issue One. With approval and adoption of agenda item 80
on 12/11/2007, no further action is required on this issue.
ISSUE THREE
With respect to the Owner Occupied Impact Fee Deferral Program, the
Board consider reducing the number of Impact Fee Deferrals a Developer
can apply for from the current 50 Deferrals at one time.
AHC - RECOMMENDATION THREE
The AHC voted to maintain the current status of allowing 50 units per
developer at one time.

ISSUE FOUR
That the Board eliminate the ability of a Developer to receive an Impact Fee
Deferral Refund.
ABC - RECOMMENDATION FOUR
The AHC voted to permit reimbursement on a first come/first serve basis while
looking for a source of revenue to support a greater number of deferments.
ISSUE FIVE
That the Board provide direction to staff regarding Developers utilizing
multiple affordable housing incentives.
AHC - RECOMMENDATION FIVE
The AHC believes that the layering of multiple programs and revenue sources is a
recognized national best practice and an essential part of the solution to providing
more affordable housing. Collier County should continue to allow layering.
