Agenda 04/25/2023 Item #11B (Amendment to develop housing at the former Goldern Gate Golf Course)04/25/2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve First Amendment to Developer Agreement with Rural Neighborhoods, Inc., to
develop Housing at the former Golden Gate Golf Course. (Companion to Items 11C & 11D)
OBJECTIVE: To modify the Developer Agreement so that it coincides with the Ground Lease negotiated in
present market conditions for the development of Essential Services Housing at the former Golden Gate Golf
Course.
CONSIDERATIONS: On December 13, 2019, the County publicly advertised ITN No. 20-7698. On June 9,
2020, the Board selected Rural Neighborhoods, Inc. (Rural Neighborhoods), and directed staff to begin
negotiations. On November 10, 2020, the Board approved the negotiated Developer Agreement.
The proposed amendment:
1) Removes 1.64 acres of greenway from the leased area; and
2) Provides corrections and clarifications to Exhibit B due to the proposed inclusion of Federal and/or State
grant funding; and
3) Clarifies the construction timeline.
Leased Premises in Exhibit “A”
The area to be used by Rural Neighborhoods is proposed to be reduced by 1.64 acres (25 acres to 23.36 acres) to
remove the greenway. This reduction will result in County maintenance of the greenway as part of the golf course.
This increased cost to the County is nominal.
Unit Breakdown in Exhibit “B”
Rural Neighborhoods will build at least 350 units as originally set forth in the Developer Agreement. The ESP
units will continue to be rented as originally approved with priority given to two tiers of Essential Service
Personnel. Tier 1 will include individuals who work in the Healthcare, Education, and Emergency Services sectors;
Tier 2 will include Government employees. The following table illustrates the rent levels and number of units, as
proposed to be amended that will be targeted within this development.

Schedule of Milestones
The amendment updates the schedule of milestones as follows:
Milestone Deadline
Provide a Construction Timeline Within 45 days of the effective date of the amendment.
Secure Project Funding Allocation Up to 6 Months from the latter of the effective date of the Lease or
the effective date of final approval of land use as evidenced by
PUD approval.
As originally provided, deadlines may be extended at the discretion of the County Ma nager or designee up to six
months, without the necessity of obtaining approval of the Board of County Commissioners.
FISCAL IMPACT: In a separate item, the Board is being requested to approve a long-term land lease on 23.36
acres of the former Golden Gate Golf Course for the Rural Neighborhood Housing Project for a nominal annual
rent of $10. The County's investment into the subject property is roughly $5.5 million considering the cost of the
land and zoning work required for the property. As provided when the Developer Agreement was initially approved
on November 10, 2020, funding for the acquisition of the land, approximately $5.5 million, is planned to come
from the Infrastructure Sales Surtax Fund.
In addition, at the Board's prior direction, staff is continuing to evaluate the appropriate combination of impact fee
programs to offset the impact fee assessments for the project. These include the Collier County Impact Fee
Deferral Program and Revolving Payment Program, and Section 163.31801 (11), Flori da Statues, pertaining to
impact fees for Affordable Housing. Staff will work with the County Attorney on the appropriate instrument and
approval process for future Board consideration.
Should there be excess program income /profit generated by the project, these funds will be allocated to a fund held
at the Community Foundation dedicated to the development or preservation of affordable housing in Collier

County. This arrangement will be further defined in one or more MOUs between the Foundation, Collie r County,
and Rural Neighborhoods to be presented to the Board of County Commissioners prior to loan closing. Grant funds
provided by Collier County, FL are subject to Federal and state rules and regulations including, but not limited to,
Program Income as applicable.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Providing land for the development of housing that is affordable assists
the County in addressing some of the goals and objectives of the Housing Element in the Growth Management
Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to form and
legality and requires a majority vote for Board action. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: To approve First Amendment to Developer Agreement with Rural Neighborhoods, Inc.,
to develop Housing at the former Golden Gate Golf Course.
