Agenda 06/28/2022 Item #11D (BCC Recent Housing Activities Update)06/28/2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation for the Board of County Commissioners to accept an update to recent housing
activities.
OBJECTIVE: To provide an update on housing that is affordable activities.
CONSIDERATIONS: In response to community concerns in 2016, the Board of County Commissioners
(“Board”) commissioned the development of a Community Housing Plan with a broad cross-section of
stakeholders appointed in June 2016. In 2017, the Urban Land Institute (ULI) performed a panel review
of the housing situation in Collier County focusing on the state of affordable housing. The community
stakeholders presented the Community Housing Plan (CHP) to the Board on October 25, 2017, Item
11.A.
On February 22, 2022, Item 11.B, the Board reviewed options for affordable housing and approved
unanimously to allocate One Cent Infrastructure Surtax funding through a budget amendment, allocate
funding through the budgetary process, identify a consultant to do a nexus study for a linkage fee for
affordable housing, evaluate County owned land, conduct a legal analysis on impact fee waivers and look
at partnership options with other municipalities and organizations.
Of the action items below, those numbered 1, 5 & 6 resulted from the ULI study and CHP adoption. The
remaining items 2, 3, 4 & 6 are a result of Board direction from the February 22, 2022, regular Board
meeting. Over the last one hundred- and twenty-days staff has worked to address the recommendations
from both meetings and the status is as follows:
Action Item Status
1 Housing
Initiatives
On May 19, 2022, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved the
last of the Housing initiatives from the 2017 ULI Housing Study. See
summary in expanded paragraph A below.
2 Partnership opportunities Letters were sent to the Housing
Finance Agency, School
District, municipalities, fire
districts, hospitals, and sheriff’s
office. Staff has received
feedback from the North Collier
Fire District, Municipalities,
Naples Community Hospital,
and the School District.
Responding partners have
agreed to partner with the
County on housing initiatives in
some capacity. These
conversations are active and
ongoing.
3 Budget funding Addressed in Budget workshop and funded when FY 23 budget is adopted.
4 Infrastructure Sales Tax- budget
amendment to segregate funds in
Completed; see additional

5 Legal analysis of impact fee waiver for
affordable housing, regulation of rental
housing, implementation of affordable
housing and identification of consultant
for Nexus study
Completed and provided by the
County Attorney’s office via a
one-way communication to
Commissioners in February
2022. Additionally, the County
is evaluating a Pilot Impact Fee
Deferral program utilizing
funds from the American
Rescue Plan. For additional
information see paragraph C
below.
6 Evaluation of
existing County-
owned land
All parcels have been evaluated by Real Property Management and a list of
properties is attached to this item.
A. The proposed amendment to the Growth Management Plan (GMP) will provided for the
following strategies to increase the opportunity for housing that is affordable: 1. Increase
eligible density within the County’s twenty-two Activity Centers from 16 units per acre, to 25
units per acre, when the proposal provides for housing that is affordable. 2. Allow for the
conversion of commercial properties determined to be consistent per policy (those
commercial properties that are not associated with an Activity Center) through an
administrative process when providing for housing that is affordable 3. Adopt a new sub-
district within the Future Land Use Map of the GMP, titled Strategic Opportunity Sites
(SOS). This allows for the eligibility of up to 25 units per acre of housing that is affordable
to existing areas associated with jobs and job creation, such as Business Parks and Research
and Development Parks. 4. Increase of Density along dedicated transit lines. When a project
centers its design around a transit stop by placing 50 percent of the total units within one-
quarter of a mile of a transit stop, the project would be eligible for 13 units per acre and if the
project proposes to include housing that is affordable that eligibility increase maximum of 25
units per acre. The GMP-Amendment will be transmitted to the State of Florida Department
of Economic Opportunity and then be scheduled for the Planning Commission and Board for
adoption hearings, sometime in the fall of 2022.
B. Staff is actively developing criteria and options for developers to bring housing development
proposals including land forward. Staff is cognizant of land purchases and is looking to
ensure proper market timing for responsible expenditures of taxpayer dollars. We will
continue to monitor the market for opportunity buys. Once identified, projects will be taken
to the Infrastructure Surtax Committee for validation and subsequently brought to the Board
for consideration and approval. However, staff will at any time consider and are open to
discussion with developers who have projects that they believe may be appropriate for such
development.
C. One of the three memoranda dated February 25, 2022 and provided to the Board of County
Commissioners by the Office of the County Attorney, covered waiver of impact fees for
affordable housing. In accordance with Board direction, staff identified a consulting firm
11.D
Packet Pg. 265
06/28/2022
with the capability to conduct the required nexus analysis to explore the options and
feasibility of developing a linkage fee program. This company, Alfred Benesch and
Company, is currently under contract with the County for continuing financial services,
including impact fee related work. In 2020, the passage of HB 1339 amended Fla. Stat.
125.01055, expressly allowing for local governments to adopt a linkage fee ordinance, with
an important caveat: the county must provide incentives to fully offset all costs to the
developer of its affordable housing contribution or linkage fee. The incentives may include,
but are not limited to: allowing the developer density or intensity bonus incentives, reducing
or waiving fees, such as impact fees or water and sewer charges; or granting other incentives.
The requirement to fully offset the developer’s cost of a linkage fee may negate any benefit
derived from the imposition of a linkage fee to increase the supply of affordable housing.
Furthermore, the additional complexities and regulatory requirements associated with the
implementation of a linkage fee could result in restrictions on the flexibility needed to
implement effective affordable housing policies and strategies. The estimated cost of the
nexus study is $222,312, which does not include the required outside legal review.
In 2021, the ability for counties to adopt an Affordable Housing Impact Fee was affec ted by
the passage of HB 337. HB 337 further restricts the definitions of infrastructure and public
facilities as related to impact fees. Affordable housing is not expressly defined in Fla. Stat.
163.31801, as infrastructure or a public facility, thereby increasing the likelihood of a legal
challenge should an Affordable Housing Impact Fee be implemented. While HB 337 may
have limited the County’s ability to adopt an Affordable Housing Impact Fee, staff continues
to work with a consultant to explore options available to reduce impact fees for affordable
housing, through new land use fee categories, etc.
On March 22, 2022, Item 16.D.7, the Board approved Amendment #5 to the American
Rescue Plan Act- Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funding allowing staff to
begin developing and implementing an impact fee pilot program to assist with payment of
fees for those developments funding partially through Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and
will maintain long term affordability. Staff will report on the progress of this pilot routinely
through the annual American Recovery Performance Plan updates.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact for this item.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The adoption of the proposed amendment to provide for
expanded opportunities for housing that is affordable within the Growth Management Plan will further
prioritize the provision of housing affordability and expanded housing choices throughout the County
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority
vote for Board approval. - DDP
RECOMMENDATION: For the Board of County Commissioners to accept an update to recent housing
activities.

The CRA views the properties
proposed for acquisition as a very
important piece of the continued
redevelopment of the Bayshore
area. Planned infrastructure
improvements are underway
along the Thomasson Drive
corridor, which will enhance
future opportunities for
development of the property.
Several entities and groups
existing in the area are interested
in possible partnerships, and the
acquisition of the property will
allow the CRA to ensure that
future uses are compatible with
the recently updated
Redevelopment Plan.
