A motion was made by Mary Waller to approve the minutes from the meeting of August 161h, 2022 and was seconded by Steve Hruby. The motion was passed with a vote of 9-0. 4. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS AND PRESENTATION a. Rental Ordinance- Commissioner Rick LoCastro requested the rental ordinance to be brought before the AHAC members for discussion. The current rental ordinance that is in the agenda packet is currently the same from the May 24th BCC. AHAC had already approved this ordinance previously. Elizabeth Radi created a presentation comparing the City of Naples and Collier M County's Rental Ordinance. The only difference was the City of Naples basic language and that N they're accommodating short term rentals and month to month leases. Elizabeth Radi wanted to N No also bring up that two apartment complexes are not accepting ERA funding anymore, Amberton N and 10X. She asked if a different method is available for payment of rent. Could the program co "' L support paying half the rent instead of a full amount. Steve Hruby wanted to follow statute 83.57 0 since it was brought up in the presentation and provides guidelines. Ted Blankenship wanted to 0 let everyone know that the City of Naples discussed the ordinance three separate times and that , it passed in August. Joe Trachtenberg supported this ordinance and wanted to highlight that trying to make this stricter is impossible under the current FL Law. Rick LoCastro wants to see a tighter presentation of this ordinance at the next BCC meeting highlighting what Joe Trachtenberg a- said and to show the BCC what it is and what it isn't. John Harney asked Elizabeth Randi to 06 M provide any feedback for the Rental Ordinance. Ashley Jones, Salvation Army, expressed that she has seen success with the ERA program but needs more case workers for the Salvation Army to keep up with the volume of assistance that is needed. Will be open to receiving funds from the county. Mike Bosi, Planning Director, wanted to clarify that it was never intended to be all or nothing for the 4 Amendments. The way they're packaged may seem that way. The amendment that has the most value is 25 units/acre for developments in Activity Centers. A workshop, that has been requested by the BCC, is the next step and may get pushed to 2023. Joe Trachtenberg advised against that. Rick LoCastro advised that the AHAC needs to create an Agenda for the workshop. Packet Pg. 14 1.A.4 S. PUBLIC COMMENT a. Danielle Hudson, NABOR - Wanted to express concerns over the AHAC wanting to copy 83.57 during the Rental Ordinance presentation. Her Board objects passing this. She wanted to caution that passing the ordinance with 83.57 is getting into how the tenant and landlord are writing leases. She doesn't recommend passing this and it will have developers pulling out of building in Collier County. She recommends sticking to the original plan of building affordable housing units. Passing the Ordinance will not solve things. Paul Shea sees more good in passing the ordinance even though they know it won't be accomplishing much. Joe Trachtenberg does see the ordinance getting approved, supports ratifying the ordinance. b. Matthew Holiday, Director of Advocacy & Government Relations, NCH — NCH is having issues with recruitment and retention with their current workforce. Matthew expressed that he doesn't want to see government get deeper into the issue but simply remove the barriers that are in the way for workforce housing. 30% of his staff live in Lee County. Since housing is becoming a problem NCH has hired a housing coordinator to locate housing for NCH staff and it has turned out to be very beneficial. NCH will also provide 20 units for Workforce housing which was published in a recent article in Gulf Shore Business. Matthew is open to any invitation that is sent his way to discuss this topic further. M Steve Hruby wanted to express this is the first time he's seen large corporations such as NCH take an v interest and come forward with housing concern. Joe Trachtenberg has been actively reaching out o to large corporations such as Arthrex and trying to have them do some sort of self-help action to `V keep their staff and provide housing. More opportunities can be available if the BCC sit down with co `V L developers and assist them. Litha Berger wants the CEO of Moorings Park to come and do a a) -0 0 presentation since they established some form of workforce housing as well. r O c. Jackie Keay- Brought up what is the harm in passing the Rental Ordinance. She congratulated the City of Naples for doing what was right to keep residents in town. She wants AHAC support when it's at the board again. 6. DISCUSSION ITEMS a. Committee Vacancies- During a discussion on if candidates should be picked during this meeting or not a motion was made to hold a special session meeting in the following weeks for an interview and selection process.

Affordable Housing Advisory Committee Report to Board of County Commissioners SHIP Affordable Housing Incentive Strategies SUBMITTED TO: COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSION SUBMITTED TO: Rob Dearduff FLORIDA HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION DATE SUBMITTED: 12/13/2022 PREPARED BY: COLLIER COUNTY COMMUNITY & HUMAN SERVICES & AHAC BACKGROUND As a recipient of State Housing Initiatives Partnership funds, Collier County established an Affordable Housing Advisory Committee in 1993 (Ord 93-19) and repealed and replaced early versions with Ord.2013-27 as required by the Florida Statutes, Sec. 420.9076. The AHAC is responsible for reviewing and evaluating local plans, policies, procedures, land development regulations, the Comprehensive Plan, and other aspects of the City/County housing activities that impact the production of affordable housing. Further, the AHAC is specifically directed by the SHIP Statute to consider and evaluate the implementation of the incentives set out at Florida Statues, Sec. 420.9076 (4)(a)-(k). Based on the AHAC evaluation, it may recommend to local government that it make modifications of, exceptions to, or creation of new plans, policies, procedures, and other governing vehicles which would encourage production of affordable housing. As approved by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the recommendations are used to amend the Local Housing Assistance Plan and the local Comprehensive Plan Housing Element. COMMITTEE COMPOSITION The Board of County Commission appointed or re -appointed members to the Committee via Ordinance 2020-27 recognizing the requirement to appoint an elected official and May 25, 2021 Resolution 2021-106 2 N N 0 N C N L 2 0 Lel Packet Pg. 42 1.A.4 Florida Statues, Sec. 420.9076 (2) lists the categories from which committee members must be selected.

Further, the AHAC has specifically considered and evaluated the strategies set out at Florida Statues, Sec. 420.9076 (4)(a)-(k). Based on this review and evaluation, the AHAC has formulated recommendations 3 N N O N to N L O r V U Packet Pg. 43 1.A.4 to the County Commission that it incorporates into its housing strategy certain changes designed to encourage production of affordable housing. The AHAC, from its review, consideration, evaluation, and recommendations, drafts and submits this report to the County Commission and to Florida Housing Finance Corporation, which details the scope of its work and the resulting recommendations. From the review and evaluation of the local government documents, the AHAC makes these recommendations to the County Commission that it incorporate into its housing strategy the following: RECOMMENDATION 1 Meeting Synopsis: The County's Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) has reviewed various staff and consultant (Johnson Engineering) recommendations to provide development standards and regulatory relief for housing that is affordable. Eight (8) development standard deviations were approved by the BCC via Ordinance #2021- 05 on February 9, 2021. AHAC has reviewed and provided input on four (4) additional initiatives during the 2"d and 3rd quarters of 2021. Existing Strategy: None AHAC Recommendation: Adoption of four (4) Regulatory Relief Initiatives spearheaded by CHS consultant, Johnson Engineering. These Initiatives include (a) permit housing that is affordable by right in Commercial Zoning Districts, (b) increase allowed density in Activity Centers from 16 upa to 25 upa, (c) for any properties designated as Strategic Opportunity Sites (SOS) allow a maximum density of 25 upa, (d) establish a policy to encourage higher density along transit corridors. Schedule for Implementation: These 4 initiatives are currently under staff review. Proposed public hearings before M the Planning Commission and BCC are anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2022. N N RECOMMENDATION 2 O N Meeting Synopsis: N Existing Strategy: y AHAC Recommendation: 0 0 r Schedule for Implementation: V O The AHAC has reviewed, considered, and evaluated the following the strategies provided in the SHIP Statute at Florida Statutes, Sec. 420.9076 (4): (a) The processing of approvals of development orders or permit, as defined in Florida Statutes, Sec, 163.3164(7), (8), for affordable housing projects is expedited to a greater degree than other projects. (b) The modification of impact -fee requirements, including reduction or waiver of fees and alternative methods of fee payment for affordable housing. (c) The allowance of flexibility in densities for affordable housing. (d) The reservation of infrastructure capacity for housing for very low-income persons, low-income persons, and moderate -income persons. (e) The allowance of affordable accessory residential units in residential zoning districts. (f) The reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing. (g) The allowance of flexible lot configurations, including zero -lot -line configurations for affordable housing. (h) The modification of street requirements for affordable housing. (i) The establishment of a process by which a local government considers, before adoption, policies, 4 Packet Pg. 44 1.A.4 procedures, ordinances, regulations, or plan provisions that increase the cost of housing. (j) The preparation of a printed inventory of locally owned public lands suitable for affordable housing. (k) The support of development near transportation hubs and major employment centers and mixed -use developments. EXPEDITED PERMITTING Meeting Synopsis: Issue was discussed on September 13th and October 4, 2021. One AHAC member indicated that Pasco County has successfully used Accela Automation software to manage coordination of all elements of process and approvals for property development. These changes have cut review times and cost for development and have led to greater interest and participation by builders and developers in Pasco County. Existing Strategy: Collier County has had an Expedited/Fast Track permitting process in place for housing that is affordable since 2007. Based upon AHAC and community stakeholders' input during the development of the 2017 Community Housing Plan (CHP), the Expedited Permitting process was reviewed and updated with the adoption of Resolution 2018-40 on February 27, 2018. AHAC Recommendation: No changes recommended at the present time. Schedule for Implementation: Resolution 2018-40 has been implemented and affordable housing developers have successfully utilized the improved process. MODIFICATION OF IMPACT FEES Meeting Synopsis: Impact Fees were discussed September 13th and October 4, 2021. Some members were aware 0 of communities that base impact fees on the square footage of each home, thereby having a lower impact fee for Q housing that is affordable. Other members indicated that discounting impact fees would be helpful for reduction m of the total cost of homes that are affordable. However, eliminating impact fees can led to a structure which does r- not provide enough revenue to provide the basic infrastructure necessary to cover the cost of streets, water, sewer, N etc. Homes that are affordable should make a contribution to the infrastructure of the community. Other members N have noted that the current Impact Fee Deferral system does not work well for affordable rental housing N development and should be modified to better match the financing timeframes of Low -Income Housing Tax Credit ca N (LIHTC) properties and other affordable rental developments. `m 0 r Existing Strategy: Collier County has had an Impact Fee Deferral program in place for housing that is affordable 00 since the late 1980s. Based upon recommendations from the 2017 Community Housing Plan, the Impact Fees , Deferral program was modified and improved via Ordinance #2018-28 on February 27, 2018. r AHAC Recommendation: In 2023, implement and support an Impact Fee Deferral Pilot Program utilizing approximately $4 million in American Rescue Plan funds received from the United States Treasury through the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to support long term affordable rental housing. Further, it is recommended that the County should review opportunities to increase the length of deferral period available for rental housing to align with various financing sources. Schedule for Implementation: Collier County Board of Commissioners have approved $4,114,137 in funds under project CC4.4 in the American Recovery plan to support developments principally financed with Low -Income Housing Tax Credit Projects, Tax Exempt Bond Financing or other qualifying affordable housing developments. During the first quarter of 2022, consider fact finding and rental housing developers needs related to the existing Impact Fee Deferral program. Determine when Collier County consultant is scheduled to review countywide Impact Fee programs. FLEXIBLE DENSITIES 5 Packet Pg. 45 1.A.4 Meeting Synopsis: Densities have been discussed in relationship to the Johnson Engineering regulatory relief proposals in the spring and summer of 2021 and at the September 13' and October 4, 2021 meetings. One member of AHAC wanted to ensure that green space would continue to be a requirement along the transit corridors. Development of up to twenty-five units per acre, without provision for significant green space of any kind, may cause public outcry against "excessive urbanization", which may be considered out of character for Collier County. Existing Strategy: Throughout most of Collier County, residential zoning has a base density of 4 units per acre. Collier County has had an affordable housing density bonus program since 1990 Ord.#90-89. As a result of the 2017 Community Housing Plan and AHAC, Collier County amended its Land Development Code to increase density for units that are affordable through Ordinance #2019-02 adopted February 12, 2019. The Affordable Housing Density Bonus (AHDB) program now provides up to 16 units per acre. Applicants that have requested additional density above base residential zoning and which require a Growth Management Plan Amendment have been recommended by the Collier County Planning Commission and required by the Board of County Commissioners to set aside of units in proposed developments to made affordable for a minimum of 30 years to households earning at or below 120% of the Area Median Income. AHAC Recommendation: Recommend approval of the proposed regulatory relief initiatives to increase density in Activity Centers from 16 upa to 25 upa, on sites designated as Strategic Opportunity Sites allow a maximum density of 25 upa and adopt a Transportation Policy to prioritize higher density along transit corridors. AHAC further supports CPCC and Board policy that extracts a public good for those applicants requesting density with a minimum of 20% of units developed be provided to households at or below 100% of the Area Median Income and encourages the development of a written policy incorporating density and the utilization of federal, state, and local grant dollars to support the development of additional affordable housing units. Schedule for Implementation: It is anticipated that these proposed increases in density may be heard by the Planning Commission and the BCC in the first quarter of 2023. Additional density provided through Growth Management Plan Amendments are on a rolling and as requested basis. N RESERVATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITY o Meeting Synopsis: Collier County does not reserve infrastructure capacity. N co N L Existing Strategy: Collier County does not reserve infrastructure capacity. m 0 r 0 AHAC Recommendation: No changes are proposed. O Implementation: None PARKING AND SETBACK REQUIREMENTS Meeting Synopsis: These topics have been discussed since the development of the Community Housing Plan (CHP) Existing Strategy: The County currently has two processes where developers can request a reduction of parking and setback requirements. Deviations from existing requirements can be requested through the Site Development Plan (SDP) process or the rezoning to Planned Unit Development (PUD) process. Recommendations to modify some setback requirements for housing that is affordable were included in Ordinance 2021-05 amending the Land Development Code, adopted February 9, 2021. AHAC Recommendation: No changes are recommended at the current time. Schedule for Implement Packet Pg. 46 1.A.4 AFFORDABLE ACCESSORY RESIDENTIAL UNITS Meeting Synopsis: Accessory Dwelling units are discussed from time to time when a news article is shared with AHAC members. During the September and October 2021 meetings, the following comments were received from AHAC members: There is an opportunity to create affordable housing by exploring the idea of allowing accessory dwellings in the Estates area (eastern Collier Co). It appears Pasco decided to explore the idea in 2018, while Sarasota seemed non -committal but perhaps willing to review the idea and Palm Beach allows it. I'd be interested to know where Pasco and Sarasota are on the topic at this time. Developing accessory dwelling units, while useful, are likely to be significant only for the ranchette properties in the county. The existing four units per acre properties which comprise most neighborhoods in the county aren't big enough to have space for these residences Existing Strategy: Collier County does not allow for the rental of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) LDC Section 5.03.03. The County only allows construction of "Guesthouses" on large single family lots of with a minimum lot size of 43,560 square feet. AHAC Recommendation: There is no consensus at the present time on this issue, but Accessory Dwelling Units should come back to AHAC at a future date with more information on Pasco, Sarasota, Palm Beach counties and the City of Rockledge "cottage homes". Schedule for Implementation: Additional information and AHAC discussion should occur in the second quarter of 2023. FLEXIBLE LOT CONFIGURATIONS Meeting Synopsis: This strategy was discussed extensively with the adoption of the 2017 Community Housing Plan. At that time, it was recommended that the County consider adopting some elements of "smart code". Through this process, amendments were made to the Land Development Code in February 2021 with the adoption of Ord. 2021- 05. Existing Strategy: Zero lot line development is allowed in Planned Unit Development (PUDs) and as a Conditional N Use under Cluster Housing. Recently Ordinance 2021-05 clarified that Cluster Development of affordable housing N does not require a Conditional Use in the RMF-6 Zoning District but is allowed by right. N L AHAC Recommendation: No new recommendations at the present time. o r V O Schedule for Implementation: None , MODIFICATION OF STREET REQUIREMENTS Meeting Synopsis: As part of the regulatory relief proposed in the 2017 Community Housing Plan, modifications to street requirements have been discussed in 2019-2021. Existing Strategy: Historically, street requirements for affordable housing developments are considered, on a case -by -case basis, as deviations in the PUD approval process or variances in the conventional zoning process. In February 2021, Ordinance 2021-05 added a new section to the LDC to allow design deviations for housing that is affordable, including modifications to internal, privately maintained roadways and sidewalks. AHAC Recommendation: No new recommendations at the present time. Schedule for Implementation: None PROCESS OF ONGOING REVIEW Meeting Synopsis: Previous AHAC discussions on this topic included the following comments: Ongoing Packet Pg. 47 1.A.4 implementation and enforcement for new processes and Land Development Code require permanent dedicated County staff. Any changes made will require monitoring to ensure the rules continue to be followed. In addition, educating and promoting a favorable environment for developers and builders will draw more partners into working in the County. Closer coordination between GMP, zoning, planning and CHS is critical for the success of process changes and approval for developments. The silos currently in place need to be broken down. The new coordination created will reduce or eliminate many of the repeated review cycles which are required today. Existing Strategy: Housing policy has been relocated from Community & Human Services under Public Services Department to into a new Division of Economic Development and Housing in the Growth Management Department (GMD). This will enable closer collaboration and communication between Housing Staff and planners in Zoning and Comprehensive Planning. Long term monitoring will remain with Community & Human Services, but will be included in and privy to affordable housing commitments drafted by the GMD. . AHAC Recommendation: No changes are purposed at this time. Schedule for Implementation: None PUBLIC LAND INVENTORY Meeting Synopsis: Public lands discussion has occurred regularly at AHAC meetings since 2018. This is a topic of great interest to AHAC members. Existing Strategy: The County's Real Property office maintains a list of county owned properties as required by FS 125.379. This inventory is circulated to County Departments for review and determination if properties are needed to implement Department operations or program mandates. Available properties are presented to the BCC and advertised for sale in the local newspaper. In 2018, two County owned parcels known as Bembridge and Manatee were part of a Request for Information CO) N (RFI) process with multiple developers submitting proposals for the development of the 5-acre Bembridge site. In 2019, through an ITN process, the County selected McDowell Housing Partners to construct 82 units of c affordable rental housing. This project, now called The Harmony, will be completed in early 2023 and is N governed by a Developer Agreement and 99-year ground lease ensuring long term affordability. N During 2018-2019, the Board of County Commissioners decided not to move forward with proposals for the y Manatee site. 0 In 2019, the County acquired the defunct Golden Gate Golf Course. In 2020 through an ITN process, the County r 0 0 selected Rural Neighborhoods, Inc to develop a portion (25+ acres) of this publicly owned property for affordable rental housing for seniors, veterans, and Essential Service Personnel (ESP). 45 AHAC Recommendation: AHAC members have discussed revisiting the Manatee property at a future date. The Committee drafted a letter to the County Commissioners requesting that they reestablish the joint Parks and Recreation & AHAC subcommittee to review the feasibility of co -locating a park and housing that is affordable on this large parcel.
