Throughout the last four (4) years the AHAC and the Board appointed Housing Stakeholders committee spent countless hours researching, drafting, and implementing the Community Housing Plan which was accepted by the Board in October 2017. AHAC and the Stakeholders recognize the need for housing that is affordable for a wide range of county residents both in the present and in the future as our community continues to grow and develop. The BCC adopted the Housing Demand Model, which is updated annually, as an indicator of the current and future needs of housing that is affordable. In addition to future growth of an expanding workforce, our community also recognizes the need to address housing for seniors, veterans, and other special needs populations. Throughout the 2017 Community Housing Plan (CHP), statistics demonstrate the numbers of households that are cost burdened and severely cost-burdened within Collier County, as well as the numbers of employees that commute from surrounding areas into Collier to work each day. This subsequent traffic congestion and the lack of housing that is affordable to working families and our special needs populations negatively impact the quality of life in our community for all of us. The CHP included over 20 land use and transportation recommendations of which eleven (11) have been implemented to date. However, even with these successes, much work remains as the county continues towards build-out. Much of the remaining build-out of Collier County will occur in the “Rural Lands” of the RLS and RFMUD areas. AHAC members recommend that all future developments of towns and villages be required to address the housing affordability demand that will be created as a result of new employment and housing created in rural, eastern Collier. In years past, such an analysis was a requirement built into State Law which provided a safeguard for local governments, as well as a check and balance on development (Development of Regional Impact- DRI). However, those regulations were removed by the State during the economic recession, leaving each jurisdiction to analyze and approve or deny large scale development according to local regulations and requirements. The AHAC and the Board have already successfully incorporated regulations into our local Plans and Codes that encourage and require new developments to address housing affordability. However, without a Housing Needs Analysis, it cannot be determined if future growth will meet those applicable Sections of our Growth Management Plan and Land development Code, specifically as highlighted below: 1.A.2 Packet Pg. 17 Attachment: AHAC Meeting Agenda - December 2, 2019 (11105 : Affordable Housing Advisory Committee - December 2, 2019) Housing Element of the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan Goal 1: To create an adequate supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and Affordable Housing for all residents of Collier County. Objective 1: Provide new affordable housing units in order to meet the current and future housing needs of legal residents with very-low, low, moderate and affordable workforce incomes, including households with special needs such as rural and farmworker housing in rural Collier County. Objective 2: Increase the number of affordable housing units, by the methods contained in Objective 1 and subsequent Policies, for very-low, low, moderate and affordable workforce income residents with the assistance of for-profit and not-for-profit providers of affordable housing, within the County and its municipalities. Policy 2.2: Partnerships shall be encouraged between private developers, non-profit entities, local governments and other interested parties to ensure the development of housing that meets the needs of the County’s very-low, low, moderate and affordable workforce income residents. Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan Policy 4.7.2: Villages are primarily residential communities with a diversity of housing types and mix of uses appropriate to the scale and character of the particular village………Design criteria for Villages shall be included in the LDC Stewardship District. Land Development Code 4.08.07 - SRA Designation J. Design Criteria. 3. Village Design Criteria. a. General criteria. iv. Offer a range of housing types and price levels to accommodate diverse ages and incomes. Accessory dwelling units shall not count towards the maximum allowed density. AHAC Policy Recommendation The Affordable Housing Advisory Committee strongly recommends, as do the ongoing RLSA re-study recommendations, that the Board require all future towns and villages to prepare a Housing Needs Analysis to determine the impact their developments will have on the need for additional housing that is affordable for all community members and to determine compliance with existing polices and codes. Absent of a Housing Needs Analysis, the Board should seek developer commitments to address Housing Affordability in these new towns and villages in order to ensure compliance with our existing policies and codes. Housing that is affordable is a critical infrastructure issue that we must continue to address in the coming years. 1.A.2 Packet Pg. 18 Attachment: AHAC Meeting Agenda - December 2, 2019 (11105 : Affordable Housing Advisory Committee - December 2, 2019) © Calendar-12.com 1 Jan.New Year's Day 20 Jan.Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. 17 Feb.Washington's Birthday (Presidents' Day) 12 Apr.Easter 25 May Memorial Day 4 July Independence Day 7 Sept.Labor Day 12 Oct.Columbus Day 11 Nov.Veterans Day 26 Nov.Thanksgiving Day 25 Dec.Christmas Holidays and common observances October Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 27 28 29 30 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 November Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 1 2 3 4 5 December Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 29 30 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 1 2 July Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 28 29 30 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 1 August Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 26 27 28 29 30 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 1 2 3 4 5 September Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 30 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 1 2 3 April Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 29 30 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 1 2 May Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 26 27 28 29 30 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 June Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 1 2 3 4 January Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 29 30 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 1 February Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 26 27 28 29 30 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 March Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 1 2 3 4 2020 Calendar 1.A.2 Packet Pg. 19 Attachment: AHAC Meeting Agenda - December 2, 2019 (11105 : Affordable Housing Advisory Committee - December 2, 2019)
