EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize staff to engage and develop a scope of work with the
Urban Land Institute (ULI) to convene an update and review of the 2017 Housing Plan and
provide guidance on housing policy recommendations; and to waive competition declaring this a
single -source service and in the best interest of the County.
OBJECTIVE: To provide affordable/workforce housing in the County and to further the goals set
forth in the Housing Element of the Growth Management Plan.
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 to the Board on October 25, 2017, Agenda Item
#I IA. From the ULI Final Report, 3 5 specific recommendations, organized into six (6) categories, were
received. The Board provided direction to the staff and stakeholders to explore twenty-four (24) specific
recommendations as the Community Housing Plan was developed.
Some of the key recommendations included increasing certainty in the process, developing a marketing
campaign, reducing specified development costs and review times, enhancing existing incentives, the
creation of a community land trust as a vehicle to ensure long-tenn affordability through shared equity
ownership in which a non-profit owns the land thereby removing the cost from the price of the home, and
re-establish a local housing trust fund to create a steady, and locally controlled funding source with more
flexibility than state or federal resources. Of the initial twenty-four (24) suggested solutions presented for
further investigation, seven (7) were found unsuitable for deeper discussion. The remaining suggested
initiatives were streamlined and combined into seventeen (17) action items, of which thirteen (13) have
been submitted to the Board for consideration and action. The remaining four (4) initiatives are currently
working their way through the Land Development Code and Growth Management Plan Amendment
processes and should be completed in late 2022.
On June 28, 2022, Board Meeting, Agenda Item #1 ID, staff provided an update to the Board on housing
activities and was directed at this meeting to bring back to the Board a request for consideration to
authorize the engagement with the Urban Land Institute (ULI) to update the 2017 Housing Plan. Staff was
also directed to present this to the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee at their July 11, 2022,
meeting for feedback. As of this publication, the meeting had not yet been held, but a summary update
will be provided with the agenda item at the time of presentation.
Staff is proposing that the scope of work for the update include:
• Review of all accomplishments to date since the publication of the 2017 Housing Plan,
specifically a recap and evaluation of initiatives undertaken that stemmed from the prior
study
• Provide real -world best practice examples for partnerships utilized throughout the nation that
could be considered for implementation
• Comprehensive financial and incentive plan that would align the different incentives and
finances available (Bond Financing, Tax Credit, Entitlement Funds) to support housing that is
affordable to leverage existing programs and possibly identify existing gaps to be addressed.
The ULI is a non-profit research and education organization whose mission is to promote responsible
I Packet Pg. 1537 1

leadership in the use of land, including housing. The ULI conducts research, performs analysis, provides
expert advice, and develops best practice recommendations that reflect the residential land use and
development priorities of ULI members in all residential product types, with special attention to the
workforce and affordable housing.
The ULI offers an Advisory Services Program where they develop teams of experts in real estate,
planning, development, and finance to provide objective unbiased advice on addressing challenging
housing and related land use issues. The Urban Land Institute Advisory Services is the only organization
that provides multi -disciplinary teams of practitioners (developers, land economists, designers, planners,
economic development experts, engineers, market analysts, etc.).
Unlike hiring another consultant, using the ULI will help ensure we receive unbiased and broad advice
from experts in housing. Collier County has previously engaged with ULI and they are familiar with our
community and its unique characteristics. Jurisdictions in Florida such as Manatee County, Hillsborough
County, City of Tampa, Pasco County, Osceola County, and Amelia Island have all had ULI reviews over
the years.
As the Board and our community have been addressing this issue of housing that is affordable it is
recommended the Board consider engaging with ULI using the single -source approach. Pursuant to
Section Eleven, sub -paragraph 11 of the Collier County Procurement Ordinance 2017-08, staff requests
that the Board of County Commissioners find that it is in the best interest of the county to waive formal
competition and exclusively from ULI as a single -source vendor. Staff will work with ULI on a scope of
services and fee schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT: Staff anticipated the cost to be no more than $135,000. Funding for the development
of the updated Housing Plan is available in Affordable Housing Fund (116), and once a cost is established
based on a finalized scope of work, the agreement will be brought back to the Board for approval.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to forin and legality, and requires majority
vote for Board approval. As previously determined by the Board, the Urban Land Institute is a single
source provider and entitled to an exemption under the Collier County Procurement Ordinance, as
amended, and that the procurement of services from this provider is in the best interests of the County. -
DDP
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Acceptance furthers the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of
the Growth Management Plan and specifically the Housing Element.
RECOMMENDATION: To authorize staff to engage and develop a scope of work with the Urban Land
Institute (ULI) to convene an update and review of the 2017 Housing Plan and provide guidance on
housing policy recommendations, to waive competition declaring this a single -source service and in the
best interest of the County, and direct staff to bring back an agreement with the agreed upon scope of
services.
