PUBLIC COMMENT Jessica Turner said she works for the Southwest Florida Stable & Attainable Housing Coalition, a new coalition formed with a partnership between Collaboratory and Bright Community Trust. There was a call for information with the Collaboratory about the biggest problems in Southwest Florida and housing is one of the biggest problems, so she's working with a group of partners in the five -county area — Charlotte, Lee, Collier, Hendry and Glades — to help improve the quality and availability of affordable housing. She wanted to introduce herself and see what's going on in Collier County. This is a regional problem and we want to work together to solve it. Chairman Hruby thanked her for attending and urged her to continue to attend. PA June 20, 2023 6. DISCUSSION ITEMS a. Policy revisions for use of county -owned property: An update for AHAC (A. Patterson) Ms. Patterson said she's here to answer questions and discuss the county's long-standing policy on county property. Ms. Patterson provided an overview: • When property is transferred from one division to another or to an outside entity, the owner/originator of the property is made whole in their costs. • The housing piece is a newer issue, but traditionally, when one of our groups owns property that is needed by another group, the group attempting to acquire it must pay the owner group for the portion of property they want to acquire. • This occurred in the eastern part of the county with Public Utilities and the Parks & Recreation Division with the site of the Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park. There was an extended debate between Parks & Recreation and Public Utilities regarding the property, which Parks & Rec desired, and what had to happen to allow Parks to utilize it. • Another notable property was the Manatee property, which has been debated for many uses over the years, including affordable housing. • The issue is complicated, depending on the funding source used to acquire the property and the enterprise nature of some groups, such as Public Utilities. • For properties owned by General Fund -funded groups, the process is less complex. • Most recently, this occurred with the Golden Gate Golf Course and the intent is that both parks and the General Fund need to be made whole for the property, which will be the future home of affordable housing and senior housing. A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • The county may have properties it purchased that are no longer needed for their intended use. Those involve residual land, an asset that's not being used. • Collier County has a housing crisis and needs to be a partner in supplementing the development of housing. The contribution or sale of a property for affordable housing is an easy way for the county to contribute without impacting the budget and taxes for residents. • There are some surplus parcels, but most have an intended purpose. The county is reluctant to let go of properties. • The Manatee site is owned by Parks & Rec and is slated for a future park in the future. For the county to say a better purpose for at least a portion of the property would be affordable housing brings about an analysis of how that property was acquired and what impact that would have on Parks & Rec, including their future level of service. • If a property was purchased with impact fees, the county has no ability to say it's for the greater good to give that property to another division, housing, utilities, roads, etc., without a backfill into the impact -fee funds. • Impact -fee funds are a statutory legal requirement and are supported by case law; they're restricted funds. • If Utilities buys property using impact fees and Parks needs it, a division still has to buy it from the other division to make the impact fees whole. Any of the June 20, 2023 properties acquired for growth are required to do that backfill. • Backfill doesn't have to be through surtax funds; it could be through the General Fund. • A misconception for residents watching the budget workshop last week is that the county is flush with extra money that it can just pull from one place to use for something else. You're seeing hard-fought battles about priorities and where we put any money that may come in because of an increase in valuation and how that money is divvied up. • How does the county re-establish reserves after the stressors of the hurricane season? These are really tough decisions. • To say we're going to go tap the General Fund has ramifications that ripple across the county. It's not that it can't be done or that the BCC can't make that decision, but enterprise funds must be made whole. Public Utilities or Community Development really don't own it, but if they did, these enterprise -funded operations are wholly or mostly fee driven. That's a requirement and you can't shift that burden onto fee payers. • Enterprise funded means they're funded by fees for service. • Public Utilities has two funding sources, user fees and impact fees. It's not a General Fund -driven organization. It's wholly driven by the people who benefit from the services they provide. That's the same for GMD. Large portions of what Community Development does are driven by fee payers who come for services. • When you say we're going to take something you paid for and give it to somebody else, you're shifting the burden onto fee payers without the proper benefit being derived. We've got to close these loops. • A better term for enterprise funds is restricted -use funds. If Parks has money and Roads doesn't, as far as impact fees go, Parks can't loan Roads money, no matter how well they're doing or if they're planning to cash and carry a project years down the road and Roads is in real trouble, there's no ability for these funds to be intermingled, commingled or transferred. There's no borrowing or loaning. They're wholly restricted. • Departments under that classification that own land are: Stormwater, Transportation, Parks & Rec, Public Utilities, the School Board, which is a separate entity, and possibly libraries. • All capital facilities are in the position of owning land and buildings. Some own extra land, but it's for future plans. It's not extra land. • Every year, the county must go through a process to look at all holdings to determine what's out there and what could be used for affordable housing or offered to someone that needs land. • A lot of groups are looking for land besides affordable housing. The fire districts, the Sheriff's Office, EMS, are all looking due to growth impacts. • There's a possibility the BCC could say $20 million in surtax money could be used to buy new things that we find either through partnership or are identified as opportunity buys. • Anything currently owned by the county, whether it's through a restricted -use fund, such as the old hotel in Port of the Islands (a different issue), we're going to dedicate General Fund money to if we're required to backfill in to make the originator/owner whole, if it's legally required. 4 June 20, 2023 • If it's just a policy, then that's a policy the BCC can deal with itself. • There are two paths: One is what we've traditionally done and another is subject to a conversation and we can consider changing that. • Does a division have to be made whole dollar -for -dollar? The property owner paid something for the land and to maintain it over the years, so it may not go for the purchase price or what it's worth now, with interest from financing. The investment must be recouped. But they can't make money. • If it's enterprise funds, they need to recoup the investment or the backfill. • The waiver piece is where we close the loop. • Can different entities form a partnership, such as affordable housing and Parks? If there are 100 acres in the Manatee property and 20 would go to housing, with the other 80 for Parks & Rec, only the portion utilized is the portion that would be backfilled back to Parks. It's similar to how Golden Gate Golf Courses was intended to be divvied up based on its use. The originating purchase of the golf course is not the end result of how that property will be utilized. • The prorated share of the Golden Gate Golf Course that's dedicated to affordable housing is the portion that will be paid by the surtax, based on acreage. • That was a BCC policy decision made when they were considering the golf course purchase. That doesn't mean the BCC can't take a different position, but that's the BCC's long-standing position. • If 20 acres of Parks & Rec land were needed to build affordable housing, that's outside the intended use of the property. It was intended for growth, to build a park, so it creates the same burden. • If there was a lease payment over time, that could be considered, but you need to look at the loan duration, the useful life and recouping the money. The county could discuss that with the County Attorney's Office. • The county has reviewed various ways to structure fee deals, the length of time, the benefit and ensuring it's not running afoul of other requirements. There are opportunities for payments over time. • How can the county support the construction and operation of affordable housing? What can be done versus what do we have to legally adhere to? • If we say county land is off the table completely, we're never going to get anywhere. Can county staff look at this with the AHAC to figure out what can be done differently? • There's no way around those paid for with a restricted -use funding source. • The best way for the AHAC to evaluate this is to look at which properties were purchased with impact fees, user fees, etc., all of which are more complicated. Those purchased with General Fund money are easier to deal with. Mr. Giblin told the AHAC. • Over the years, we've periodically gone through the list of all county -owned land and the AHAC once had a subcommittee that reviewed that list. • The county isn't in the business of owning extra land. When we ask departments for their surplus land lists, they say we're not in the business of owning and carrying land that we don't have a future use for. • The ones on the list that haven't been developed have reasons for that, such as being full of wetlands, no transportation, utilities and other issues. June 20, 2023 • Out of a list of 100, we found two, the 60-acre Manatee Park owned by Parks & Rec and the Bembridge property. • Parks & Rec doesn't have any immediate use for a park there yet and the BCC declared the Bembridge property on Santa Barbara as surplus. We put it out for bid and we've got 82 low-income rental apartments about to be CO'd there this month. That's a success story on how to use and repurpose county -owned land. • The BCC heard a presentation on reserving 30 acres of that land for the park and 30 acres for housing. The BCC made the decision not to move forward on that land five years ago. The BCC's feelings may have changed since then. • The state requires us to look at the list of properties once a year and staff can share that list with the AHAC. Chairman Hruby told the AHAC. • He and Mary spoke to Parks & Rec about five years ago about the Manatee property. The implication was that it may not fit the vision they originally bought the land for. • They said then they'd need about 20 acres less for the park than planned. • To develop that land, there are other issues involving transportation, the streets and schools that need to be vetted. That's why it was put aside for now. • There were other tangential issues that couldn't be solved by transferring the land. Ms. Patterson told the AHAC. • The character of that community has substantially changed in the last five years, so whether that's a positive remains to be seen. • The Manatee park is driven by levels of service. The loss of that many acres would hurt more in the future. • The county would have to look at levels of service needed in that area. It's not that it can't be done. It can happen. • Bembridge is a great example because it was owned by EMS, which was made whole to make that all work. • The county owns three pieces of property. One is on Port of the Islands. The majority of the cost was purchased from divisions and departments using General Funds. • There's also the Hussy property and Camp Keys. There are long-term goals for those, but that remains to be seen in the future. They have been suggested for affordable housing. • The Hussey property, which is behind the landfill, is part of a transportation study now, with the Wilson-Bennefield alignment. Once that alignment is determined, then it will be clearer how that property may be developed. • Camp Keys eventually would be a great place to have housing. Putting more housing out east now would cause transportation woes out west, where everybody works. • Both are excellent choices for future housing development and the funding source was the General Fund, so that would be easier to do. Mr. Giblin noted that the BCC was forward thinking in its approval and all these towns and villages in the Rural Lands Area contain a provision that they provide land and make it available for purchase by the county or another nonprofit for future affordable and workforce housing at a rate established about three years ago. They're years out in the future, but they are reserved and will be available for workforce housing once people move to those areas. r%l June 20, 2023 Ms. Patterson told the AHAC: • There are 17 acres off Bayshore, with about nine developable acres. • There are strong feelings in the community about how that would be developed. • There's potential for housing. It would be an amazing fit for housing, potentially mixed -use, but not many units. Any number helps. • The location and transportation are amazing. • The question is: What is the will of the community? • There have been various proposals about how housing could fit onto that property. • What could be done to help the community feel better about it? Is it mixed -use, low - density? • That was purchased with CRA funds and housing is under the CRA's purview. • There's also the Williams property, which the county doesn't own. It's on our radar and we're talking about surtax funds. • There's a large tract of land in Immokalee off Lake Trafford Road that has a fair amount of developable property now and it is zoned. There's a potential partnership there among multiple groups to make that acquisition possible. Chairman Hruby thanked her for her time, noting that it cleared up many issues and gives the AHAC direction to pursue. Ms. Patterson said she'd be happy to go through the county's land holdings with the AHAC. Some smaller holdings may be good for a public -private partnership. If we don't do something, we're going to continue to do very little. A discussion ensued about rural lands properties and the following points were made: • Developers must make land available for housing. • They were given a four-year period to identify lands and make them available. • The Town of Big Cypress may be going to the BCC in the fall for approval; they have identified the land on their master plan. • Once they're identified, the county would have the option to purchase the land or a non-profit housing developer could. • They have a development schedule of their own and are moving quickly. Action Item: Staff was asked to provide the AHAC with a list of properties and to label which lands were purchased with General Fund money versus impact fees and user fees. b. AHAC revised Work Plan overview (S. Harrington) [Ms. Harrington handed out copies of the revised Work Plan] Ms. Harrington told committee members that their feedback is important. Ms. Faron told the AHAC: • She appreciated staff updating the Work Plan. • AHAC members can attend Neighborhood Information Meetings and other meetings to support projects under consideration. • They should wear a tag identifying themselves as AHAC members. • Mr. French introduced her to the CityView system, which tracks progress for every 7 June 20, 2023 project and when meetings will occur. • The AHAC can divvy up meetings so someone can be there to listen/support a project. • AHAC members must stay away from each other to adhere to Sunshine laws. A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • If a member feels strongly about something being said, he/she can speak up. • It would be good for AHAC members to identify themselves and have one-to-one engagement with others at the meetings. • Incentives and options for developers of affordable housing can be put in one place on the Growth Management website, www.colliercountyhousing.com • The website is a one -stop shop for the public seeking assistance in renting or buying or for developers looking for available grant monies or a list of surplus land. • It's difficult to track "next steps." We need to understand what local employers want. • Employers have reached out to the county about affordable -housing issues and retaining employees and want to know how they can help. We can share AHAC information with them, allow them to be present at the next meeting, make a presentation and give them an opportunity to speak publicly. Staff can provide them with a report if they're unable to attend. • November is the timeframe to have the BCC approve the county report. AHAC needs to start the process in September. • Growth Management Plan amendments are transmitted to the state for concurrence and review and are returned to the county for an adoption hearing. • LDC codes are in the drafting stage and are scheduled to go to the CCPC and BCC later this year. It's a three -step process. Mr. Bosi reported that. • The county hasn't received an objection from the state. • But the state is objecting to increasing residential density for affordable housing within the Coastal High -Hazard Area. • We're developing a strategy to appease that objection and continuing to move forward with GMP Amendments. • We may have to limit the Affordable Housing Density Bonus to the level we currently allow. • He explained to Scott Rogers, the state agent, that we've made an evaluation in the past within our Growth Management Plan, our density rating system. • The only way you can increase density in the Coastal High -Hazard Area is through the Affordable -Housing Density Bonus. The state still has an objection. • We cannot go beyond the current 16 units. The 25 units an acre we're proposing is not supported by the state, so we're modifying that and bringing those to the Planning Commission to the Board of County Commissioners. They'll be accompanying the LDC Amendments that will implement the individual plans. • The state has raised objections, saying we cannot adopt these as proposed but if we want to provide mitigation strategies, you could move forward. That means we would go through the Planning Commission and then the BCC in November or December. • We'll have to wait 30 days to see whether the state wants to formally object to our proposed amendments. We won't know until after the Board of County Commissioners adopts and then a courtesy copy is sent to the state for evaluation. We'll have 12 June 20, 2023 conversations with the state to make sure they're on board with how we're approaching it to cure their objection. A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • The Coastal High -Hazard area is generally the areas west and south of U.S. 41. • That area includes the manatee property, which continues to come up for discussion for utilizing surtax dollars. That probably would not be a good fit because it's in a Coastal High -Hazard area where we could not promote density, especially for affordable housing. • The Live Local Act applies anywhere with commercial or industrial zoning, so someone in the Coastal High -Hazard Area could identify a piece of land and get the maximum density through that process. • The DEO (state Department of Economic Opportunity), which is becoming the DOC (Department of Commerce), is objecting, saying we can't put additional density within areas prone to storm surge and hurricanes. • A legislator says the state affordable -housing crisis is so great that anywhere you allow industrial mixed -use or commercial development is an appropriate place for affordable housing without requiring a public hearing. • Those are two different bodies, perspectives and outcomes. Mr. Bosi explained transfer of development rights (TDR): • What was adopted was a proposal to allow for 12.2 units per acre. • The Rural Fringe Mixed -Use District is the TDR program for the county where we've identified environmentally sensitive areas where you send development away from them. • You create TDR as you lift those volume units. You can apply those units to an area that's deemed less environmentally sensitive, the receiving areas. • They are allowed at one unit per acre utilizing TDR. • If you're going to develop a village within the Rural Fringe Mixed -Use District, you get up to three units an acre and you must provide for support of commercial -industrial type uses. • We have gotten to the point toward where low density is one unit per acre and TDR is three units an acre. • We value the need for affordable housing to a point that we're allowing 12.2 units an acre if you're going to provide affordable housing. • We've had several pre -application meetings and applications submitted within the South Receiving Area, which is about three miles to the east of 951, the US 41 intersection. Several developers and Habitat for Humanity have holdings there. • The problem we're anticipating with that area, where we also would provide a mix of market -rate housing, is that the capacity of the road system is fast evaporating and the county doesn't control that road system. It's a state road. • If we run up against the capacity of concurrency, we may have issues. • Their proposals have been adopted and the next step for us is to take those adopted GMP Amendments and start to craft LDC implementation language. • Even before that in-house project is Greenway Fritchey, a mix of market rate and affordable housing with Habitat as the affordable -housing provider. • They won't need to have the LDC amendments completely crafted to gain approval, as M June 20, 2023 long as they're in line with concepts provided for within the GMP Amendment, which is up to 12.2 units per acre. Mr. Giblin said the county has several strategies to deal with impact fees, rental deferral, owner -occupied deferral, a deferral program for Immokalee only. Developers also have approached the county to say they're not workable in the current interest -rate and cost of goods environment. They need something better. They're working with the County Manager's Office and GMD to see if state law allows us to do something better. Vice Chair Faron asked about the Rural Neighborhoods impact -fee issue. Mr. Giblin said it's still being discussed. A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • We need to pinpoint specific strategies. • A developer in the rural neighborhoods has a cost of construction that he needs to meet, which is made up of cost of land, cost of goods, cost of impact fees and he's $1 million short of his total. If the county can remove impact fees, he can break even. • It's not that easy on the county side because impact fees are controlled by state statute. We can't make them go away, but we can plug the hole with other funding. The developer can apply to Kristi's group and get other funding to bring an additional $1 million to the property/project to get to where it used to be. Those are the avenues we're exploring. • We can see what changes have been made to the state statute on impact fees and how they can be adjusted locally. He's approached Kristi and may have received a loan commitment or a grant to help start filling some of those holes. • Impact fees are the target and they stand out on the developer's pro forma, but as long as he gets his money from someone he doesn't care where it comes from. • The AHAC needs to understand the nuances of state impact -fee requirements and where there's flexibility. Maybe staff can show the AHAC the regulations we can't go around and where there's an opportunity to change policy. • The county's current program on the rental side is a 10-year impact -fee deferral that can be approved administratively. • The county's current ordinance says that if a developer wants to propose something longer than 10 years, they can go to the Board of County Commissioners and ask for a 20- to 40-year deferral, but the County Attorney cautions the board that once you start pushing that out further and further, it no longer looks like a deferral. In the eyes of the law, it becomes a waiver. The policy decision must be made by the BCC to see how far out they want to go to maintain the impact fee system. Once you start cracking the legality of the system, it starts to fall apart. • In this current economic environment, with high interest rates and a higher cost of goods, the 10-year deferral doesn't help developers and only made sense in a low - interest environment. Most developers buy a treasury security that will mature to the total in 10 years and when you're borrowing money to do that, it doesn't make sense. • The county also has had situations where it's not the developer who takes the impact fee deferral, it's a homeowner. In the 2000s, homeowners took a 10- or 15-year impact - fee deferral and now the county is faced with a situation where the deferral timeline is up and we have to knock on a poor person's door to ask for it. June 20, 2023 [Commissioner Hall joined the meeting at 10: 03 am.] • If we can't waive impact fees, that should be off the table. • The AHAC needs guidance on waiving parking requirements under the Live Local Act. • The AHAC also must review and approve the Local Housing Assistance Plan every three years. That involves how we're going to be using our SHIP money. That comes up in June 2024 and it goes to the BCC and City of Naples. The county will be approaching the AHAC for that in early 2024, after the holidays. • Philadelphia changed its parking requirements and left that up to developers. The results have been beneficial for affordable housing. Old restrictions were not valid for today's lifestyle and this could be a way to make it more cost efficient. The more parking that's required, the more costly affordable housing will be. • The county offers administrative parking reductions, a waiver available to developers who want to present alternative proposals. Those are approved or denied by staff. That's how we currently satisfy the state requirement. • The county offers an alternative parking calculation for affordable housing, but we'll have to review those again under the Live Local Act. There hasn't been a parking deal that killed a project. • Austin is satisfying its parking problem by building vertically, with eight stories of living space above seven stories of parking. The county is willing to consider alternatives, especially if a development is near public transit. [Mr. Hains left the meeting at 10:10 a. m.] • With the golf course property, there are shared parking agreements in place. Parking can be shared in mixed -use developments that use parking at different times of the day. • At Heritage Bay, on 951 and Immokalee Road, there's shared parking. That can be done administratively. The county is open to discussions. Action Item: The AHAC needs to pinpoint strategies involving impact fees and where there is flexibility. Staff was asked to present regulations they can go around and where policy can be changed. Action Item: The AHAC needs guidance on waiving parking requirements under the Live Local Act. Action Item: The AHAC needs to monitor completed affordable housing proiects, compliance, publish the compliance reports and provide transparency. c. Progress report on the merger of Housing Education Lending Programs (HELP) and the Collier County Community Land Trust (CCCLT) (S. Hruby) Chairman Hruby reported that: • They're merging those two entities together and adding another component. HELP will deal with the soft side, the housing users, and the CCCLT is dealing with regional planning and development. 11 June 20, 2023 • The new element will be advocacy, education and philanthropy. • This will be a triaging hub for affordable housing. • We're partnering with the Community Foundation, which is providing funding for pre -development and gap financing for development. • He and Michael Puchalla will present the concept to the Community Foundation's board of directors this afternoon. There also will be a 2 p.m. housing forum there. • The core board will be introduced today. January 1 is the rollout date. • Bringing in private investment sometimes makes it easier for developers. • The two non-profit entities would be maintained under their nonprofit status for regulatory and funding reasons. 7. STAFF AND COMMITTEE GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS a. Update on any request for funding from the Penny Tax (S. Harrington and C. Giblin) Mr. Giblin reported that: • The BCC passed the policy decision in March on how to use or make surtax funding available for land acquisition. • Since then many developers across the state and county have been asking to access funds and what the process is. • The Live Local Act takes it to a different level and staff have been meeting with developers. • We've received one official application that's being reviewed and vetted by various divisions. • The policy is in place and is working. Chairman Hruby asked about the AHAC's recommended scoring and evaluation system. Ms. Harrington said the AHAC's recommended application and evaluation scoring system will be reviewed for approval by the Tax Committee on June 29. Mr. French said staff also has met with members of the Tax Committee, which had some concerns and wanted to ensure it's not a wash, but what voters intended. b. Update on the Live Local Act as it applies to Collier County (M. Bosi) Mr. Bosi reported that. • The Site Development Plan review process is well established. • To take advantage of the Live Local Act, we're asking applicants two questions that the state takes out of the county's hands: What's the highest density allowed throughout the county and what's the highest structure within a one -mile radius of the project location? • The statute says you're entitled to the approved height within one mile. (The approved height, whether it was built that high or not.) • We envision something similar to a Zoning Verification Letter that would specify the parcel, zoning designation (commercial, industrial or mixed -use to qualify) and the highest approved structure within one mile. Research and a description would have to be provided. • A third question is: If you're within one mile of a public transit stop, you're entitled to a potential parking reduction. 12 June 20, 2023 • We would handle that the same way we handle a parking -reduction request. They must provide documentation on what characteristics support an overall parking reduction. • One of the GMPs we transmitted to the state was the transit -oriented development, which allows a developer to get up to 25 units an acre if the proposed development is on a transit line and you're within one -quarter mile of a bus stop, or the developer creates a new bus stop. • We envision that when we bring the LDC forward, there's an understanding that it will help pre -determine parking relief because we want to promote transit, which is the focus of that type of development. • We're going to treat parking requests like we'd treat any APR (Administrative Parking Reduction). They would have to provide documentation on the characteristics that support reduced traffic. • We will clarify this within the zoning verification letter that the 30-year commitment for 40% of units for at least 120% of AMI or below must be attached to the letter. That commitment will be associated with development approval. • The SDP is reviewed considering the closest similar district. • The highest level of density we have for residential multifamily is RMF-16, 16 units per acre. Those are the standards we will require a project to be evaluated at. They're entitled to the height and density. • The height comes with a caveat. The RMF-16 zoning district says you have to be set back from your yard at half the height. If you had a I I0-foot building within one mile, but you had a parcel of land that was only 100 feet deep, you're never going to be able to get the full height you'd be entitled to because you have to satisfy the development standards of the RMF-16 zoning district. • That will prevent a shallow piece of property from hosting a structure taller than the width of the individual part. • Parking, landscaping, stormwater and all the other components that would have to be required within an SDP will have to be maintained at that RMF-16 level. • Once the letter is issued, they can submit a Site Development Plan, which would be reviewed as part of an administrative process. • The maximum is 91.77 units per acre. Whether you can realize that is up to the SDP. • If the project is straight residential, we would use the RMF-16. If it's mixed -use, we would impose requirements under the Land Development Code's C-1 to C-3 districts. • The memo shows the basic front -yard setback, the front side and rear yard separation minimum. • There are still limitations on what could happen within a parcel, such as some parcels fronting Davis Boulevard. If it's not a shallow parcel, it's going to be tough to maximize the full height that you'd be allowed for the height of the Mini Triangle, 160.2 feet, but you must satisfy RMF-16 development standards, so that might not work. • It will promote creativity. Chairman Hruby said there's a Housing Coalition webinar on density and height and he wasn't able to attend it. He urged other committee members to watch it when it's posted online. He can provide the PowerPoint presentation. They're offering up to $200 for 13 June 20, 2023 technical assistance on a first -come, first -serve basis on how to identify commercial properties. Has staff started to look at modifying the mapping system to identify where potential properties are that would be affected by the Live Local Act? Action Item: Mr. Bosi will ask the GMS mapping team to identify eligible Live Local Act properties — commercial, mixed -use and industrial — and bring that map to the AHAC. Those properties would be eligible if they meet the basic criteria. d. Progress on the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Policy (M. Bosi) Mr. Bosi reported that. • The BCC didn't tell us to develop a policy but asked us to go out and work within Urban Estates lots and bring back community reaction about the potential for unlimited renting of guesthouses. • We have a consultant and are evaluating different online surveys to collect feedback. • We're trying to identify one that will allow for one -property, one -vote so we can prevent people from gaming the system. • We're designing a postcard to send to all Urban Estates lots to tell them when the public information meeting will be, what we're trying to accomplish, that we're seeking feedback and whether they'd support renting a guesthouse. • The other question will be: If the opportunity is only for an income -restricted tenant, would they be supportive? • The community is going to tell us how they feel about the proposals. • If there's an opportunity to rent guest houses out unrestricted, there's a potential to positively affect supply and demand, whether income -restricted or market rate. The more available units will have a price effect on overall supply and demand. • We're working on questions to quantify and clearly articulate to the BCC what the community's feelings are. • We anticipate the board will make a decision on whether they want to move forward with a program. • The first public information meeting is planned for the first or second week of September due to many homeowners being away now and schools opening. • We expect a follow-up meeting in October. We'll collect the data, analyze and categorize it and create an Executive Summary to discuss with administration whether they want to take it to the Planning Commission for an overview. • We'd take it to the BCC during the first quarter of 2024. Commissioner Hall said the AHAC would like to see affordable -housing opportunities. If you ask me as a homeowner, "Would you support unrestricted rents?" my first thought would be Vrbos and I'd say no. Mr. Bosi said he doesn't disagree. The state endorsed restricting ADUs/guest houses to affordable housing, but it also says we can't step on the Vrbos' toes and can't impose time limits for a 10-year lease. That probably will affect the responses we get. d. Progress on the audit and monitoring protocols for existing affordable -housing committed in various developments (S. Harrington and C. Giblin) Ms. Harrington told the AHAC: • We're making progress and completing the updates. 14 June 20, 2023 • This will be ready for AHAC's review in July. • This spreadsheet has valuable information for affordable housing, including the percentage of AMIs, total number of units, affordable units and applicable notes. • Many organizations have asked for this information, as well as the AHAC, and asked that it be made publicly available and posted on our website. • We added four more columns to the spreadsheet to include the last date it was monitored, the next due date for monitoring and any deficiencies and anything noticed involving the deficiencies. Mr. Giblin told the AHAC. • He provided the BCC with an update last month and said these developments are monitored as a two-tier system. • The first tier is at GMD, the Commitment Tracking System, where each development commitment is tracked, including setting aside a preserve, adding a landscape buffer, or providing X number of affordable housing units at X income for X years. • Those are part of our annual PUD monitoring program that was run by Laurie Beard and GMD. She gets a yearly report from the developer on their progress on meeting commitments and sends the report to appropriate staff, such as stormwater, environmental or housing, to ask them to confirm what the developer reported. • The second tier is Kristi Sonntag, who has an affordable housing monitoring and grants section. Every year, they conduct onsite visits to confirm that. It's more in- depth monitoring than what Growth Management does because they have expertise in income qualifications, tax returns, etc. • They report that to Growth Management's PUD monitoring section. • We realize we must do a better job of communicating and putting this out for everyone to see so there's no question about what the BCC approved and whether affordable housing units are being rented to low-income clients. • We need to make the process much more transparent. Sarah is working on that and will post it on www.colliercogpiyhousing.com Chairman Hruby asked Ms. Sonntag about details of how the monitoring is done, what the usual issues are and whether they monitor through random samples. Ms. Sonntag told the AHAC. • She can ask the compliance director to present that process to the AHAC. • Our team is currently monitoring several developments onsite. • We conduct a sample, not all units, but if we find issues, we dig deeper and stay longer. • The number depends on the size of the development. • We issue a report 60 days after monitoring completion. If a developer has issues that must be corrected, we tell them they must do that and then issue a final report. • The final report includes deficiencies we found. • Sarah can include the tool we use and what we look at in the AHAC agenda packet. • We look at their housing, income, policies and a variety of things the BCC asked them to do, including any commitments. 15 June 20, 2023 Action Item: The Community & Human Services Division's compliance director will be asked to present a report to the AHAC detailing how affordable -housing compliance is monitored. Action Item: Ms. Harrington will add the tool used by the Community & Human Services Division for monitoring and compliance to the AHAC agenda packet. 8. NEW BUSINESS a. DSAC/AHAC Ordinance A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • The draft ordinance in the AHAC's agenda packet says the only change to the DSAC ordinance is that a non -voting member of the AHAC will be added. • The draft ordinance will go before the DSAC and the AHAC. • It's been supported by both committees. • It must be advertised and go before the BCC twice for approval; it will be presented this summer. b. Recurring AHAC Date and Time — Yd Tuesday of each month at 9 a.m. Mr. French said the County Manager approved the 9 a.m. time on the third Tuesday of each month. [The AHAC agreed the time works.] Mr. Giblin reported upcoming issues for the AHAC: • The state released its request for applications for state Housing Tax Credits. • The Housing Corporation has made final changes to the application. • The Local Government Area of Opportunity allows each county government or city to choose one development to support with an extra financial incentive. It provides bonus points for application status when the state reviews them for tax credits. • It requires a $460,000 financial commitment from Collier County. • At the time of commitment, that funding source doesn't need to be specifically identified in the loan/grant or other form. • It's a certification form signed by the County Manager detailing the development we're recommending. • The county can support more than one, but you can only provide the Local Government Area extra points to one. • This process started a few years ago with larger counties and has now moved to medium-sized counties. • We were forward -thinking and the BCC approved a resolution authorizing the County Manager to make decisions to commit funds on behalf of the board to get the application to the state quickly due to very tight timelines. • The state releases the request for applications and there are less than 90 days to turn around the certifications, put together deal package and select a candidate. • We're proposing a more public process, to release a Notice of Available Funding in July. • We'll bring that to the AHAC in July for review and you can rank the proposals at your August meeting. That recommendation will go to the County Manager and become the county's Local Government Area of Opportunity project. June 20, 2023 Ms. Sonntag told the AHAC: • The commitment amount that's obligated is about $460,000. • It's her responsibility to sequester those funds out of the allocation received through the SHIP program, Community Development Block Grant or Home Program. • The county has spending deadlines. If we don't spend our funds, the federal government will take them back or issue a finding to the county for failure to spend. • When you look at the deals, you must ensure these deals will happen. It's a lot of money to carry in committed funds that can't be used elsewhere. • There is still money in the Housing Trust Fund if it continues to be funded through the General Fund cycle. Chairman Hruby said if timing is important, then the Housing Trust Fund would be more appropriate. Mr. French told the DSAC about a Code Enforcement case before the special magistrate: • The Golden Gate Hotel on the golf course issued eviction notices. • The property owner performed a lot of illegal construction and one of the workers who may not have been paid turned him in and it became a fire issue. • In December, he negotiated with the Fire Marshal for Greater Naples to continue occupancy as long as they're on fire watch and are moving forward with permits. The fire marshal was reluctant due to the life -safety code. • Nothing happened, so it's now a Code Enforcement case. • We were approached by the hotel owner, who was asking for a large amount of money, well beyond the appraised value and what we believe the value is, so they took it to market. • We think it would have been an opportunity for the BCC to consider, but they were seeking too much money. They were basing their valuation on illegally captured income. • We had a meeting last week with a development group that has some creative ideas. We'll bring them before the AHAC to see if we can make it work. • They're not looking at demolishing the building because that won't work. The developer has done this around the country. They'd renovate the hotel and make it into affordable -housing units, like efficiencies. • The market price is very good, right at or all under 100% of AMI. • Unfortunately, there are zoning restrictions they're going to struggle with because the entire site was paved, affecting discharge and environmental resources. There was no consideration, so county staff is trying to be creative because we've got to bring back that golf course PUD for the veterans nursing home. • That hotel site was never intended to be included, so we're meeting with them later this week to make a determination because they've got the property locked up. • Before they have to put down a large amount of money within the next 120 days, they want to ensure we can make something happen. There's a very thin margin as to whether we could be successful. That site is a very restricted small site with shared parking. They don't want to go higher than what's already there. • They want to revitalize the four-story hotel. The developer has done this nationwide. 17 June 20, 2023 A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • It's 185 units and they'll add an amenity center, clubhouse and swimming pool. • The renderings are unique. • Most residents have left or are starting to move. • This was an unlawfully converted hotel, so there were no permits involved and the county had no visibility. • Chapter 162 says we don't have a right to go into a place unless we know it's a life - safety code issue and then we'd seek a warrant. • The remodeling was going on slowly in rooms, installing kitchens, making upgrades, all without licensed contractors or permits. It's been going on for some time. • We've done everything we can to negotiate. The family doesn't want to own this hotel. It's the same family who sold us the golf course. Mr. French also reported on affordable housing in Port of the Islands: • Residents reached out to express concern to Commissioner LoCastro and others to say they don't want affordable housing there. • It may be in a High Hazard Coastal Area, there are impact -fee credits there and utilities in place. • It's a 120-minute drive from the intersection of Collier Boulevard and 951, although it's only about 15 miles. • The commute is a consideration, and the benefit is there won't be any significant local impact fees because the main access is U.S. 41. • Utilities would be served by the CID. • The Live Local Act could work there, but they're limited in height because the tallest buildings are only three stories, and it's a restricted site, 7-8 acres. • They would want a rezone. A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • It would be a great site for hospitality workers on Marco Island, Everglades City, East Naples and the City of Naples. • It's a good location and very nice neighborhood, compared to what it once was. • The county is in conversations with Tarpon Blue, which bought Collier Enterprises' interests in the Rural Village. • They had a question about the acreage of land set aside for a pre -negotiated rate. People are interested in buying it and keeping the county out. • We have concerns and think there's an opportunity, so we're talking with those developers. • The developer is pushing hard to sell the property. It would cost about $2 million. • It's designated as affordable and is just under 100 acres. • It's three years out from infrastructure and more for construction. • It would qualify for surtax money, so we'd have to bring this before the BCC. • We've got 30 years to close on it. • We're looking at that Growth Management Plan Amendment. • We recognize that NGOs can take the opportunity to divide this property, but our intent is to get it for the county and ensure it stays in perpetuity as affordable housing for at least 99 years. June 20, 2023 • Some Habitat for Humanity models are 30 years and then revert to market rate. We don't know if that would be a good move. • We think it should be a blend of both rental and home ownership. • It's about 88.5 acres and they're entitled at 10 units an acre. • When they're ready to develop, we should have a plan in place. • It would eventually be a BCC decision. Ms. Harrington reported that they have now updated contact information for the new AHAC members. Mr. Giblin provided a status report on affordable housing on the golf course property: • We received an updated timeline from the developer. • We briefed the County Manager's Office on his timeline. • He was supposed to apply for building permits yesterday. • The Site Development Plan needed some corrections; the developer will come in this week to do that. • He has to secure financing and plans to break ground in December. • He's working with the state on the environmental questions. 9. ADJOURN Ms. Waller made a motion to adjourn. Second by Mr. Felke. The motion passed unanimously, 7-0. 10. NEXT MEETING DATE 9 a.m. July 18, 2023 Conference Room 609/610 Growth Management Community Development Department There being no further business for the good of the County, the meeting was adjourned by the order of the chairman at 11:08 a.m. C A [MITTEE These n inutes were approved by the commtueeicnairman an n "-0n (check one) as presented or as amended 19 April 7, 2023 MINUTES OF THE COLLIER COUNTY AFFORDABLE HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE STRATEGIC PLAN SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING Naples, Florida, April 7, 2023 LET IT BE REMEMBERED, the Collier County Affordable Housing Advisory Committee Strategic Plan Subcommittee, in and for the County of Collier, having conducted business herein, met on this date at 10 a.m. in REGULAR SESSION at the Collier County Growth Management Department Building, Conference Room #609/610, 2800 Horseshoe Drive North, Naples, Florida, with the following members present: Chairman: John Harney Vice Chair: Jennifer Faron Steve Hruby Paul Shea County Staff Members Also Present: Cormac Giblin, Interim Director, Economic Development & Housing Sarah Harrington, Manager, Environmental Services Mike Bosi, Director, Planning & Zoning Jaime Cook, Director, Development Review Jamie French, Department Head, GMD Michael Stark, Director, Operations & Regulatory Management Derek Perry, Assistant County Attorney Julie Chardon, GMD Ops Support Specialist II, AHAC liaison Kevin Summers, Mgr., Technical Systems Ops, GMD (via Zoom) April 7, 2023 Any persons in need of the verbatim record of the meeting may request a copy of the audio recording from the Collier County Growth Management Department. 1. CALL TO ORDER & ROLL CALL Chairman Harney called the meeting to order at 10:04 a.m. A quorum of three was present; a fourth arrived later. 2. APROVAL OF AGENDA AND MINUTES a. Approval of the March 2, 2023, meeting minutes Vice Chair Faron made a motion to approve the March 2, 2023, meeting minutes. Second by Mr. Shea. The motion passed unanimously, 3-0. b. Approval of the agenda (Approved, no changes) Chairman Harney noted at the last meeting, he told Jennifer he didn't have any real experience with creating a strategic plan, but later realized he was a more tactical and strategic person. He hopes to take some of the ideas from before and make them into more of a plan, a task list, which is the goal for today. Mr. Giblin introduced Sarah Harrington, who has been with Growth Management nearly a year. She's been attending AHAC meetings, so he asked her to sit at the table today. She'll be stepping up and helping out with the Affordable Housing and Economic Development group in the future. Chairman Harney introduced Julie Chardon, the new liaison for AHAC meetings. He asked Mr. Bosi if he wanted to add anything. Mr. Bosi said he's more tactical than schedule -oriented. AHAC is looking for what's been done and where it's going, so you can incorporate a schedule for AHAC's work activities. We should use Jennifer's expertise. 3. DISCUSSION ITEMS a. AHAC Strategic Work Plan Development Chairman Harney told the AHAC. • We should review the document that Jennifer prepared for today. It looks at the task list and provides steps: where did it start, where is it going and how do we get there? • Paul brought up many times over the last couple of years that we never seem to have target dates or deadlines. That's important if you're trying to finish something. Fortunately, we had some recent success with the Board of County Commissioners and getting the LDC amendments through after working on them for a long time. • We're near the end of the Rural Fringe Mixed -Use District changes, so those are good landmarks. They've all taken a long time and have all been very start and stop. • It would be helpful in the future if we can find a well-defined path and finish a project on a more timely basis. It's not entirely up to us, but we can do our best. Vice Chair Faron told the AHAC what her goal was when drafting the document. • She wanted to cover two things, laying out a strategy and keeping track of what we're doing and how each item is progressing. • At the end of the year, we can see what we've done and what's next. • State Statute, Chapter 420 lays out the AHAC's statutory obligations. PA April 7, 2023 This includes strategic initiatives beyond what we're required to do. It includes whether we should promote, recommend or review concepts. What's missing is the level of review/recommended approval required for each and the various boards that approve them. That should be added. She doesn't have that knowledge. [Mr. Hruby joined the meeting at 10:10 a.m.] Chairman Harney told the AHAC: • We didn't have a work plan before, aside from the annual report that goes to the Board of County Commissioners that's then filed with the state. • That's part of our statutory requirement and it's submitted in the fall. • Throughout the year, there hasn't been a tracking document for what we work on. • What we did before was review minutes from past meetings. • He checked counties statewide and found that other AHACs aren't meeting monthly. They're very irregular and hold meetings when they're needed. We're ahead of the curve. • This plan will take our monthly commitment and tie that to goal posts, so we're meeting statutory requirements and beyond. A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • Vice Chair Faron noted that this document would be their internal tracking document. • What does the BCC expect from us, to bring deals? Is that written anywhere? • We should tell the BCC how we fit in to the solution. If they feel we overstepped our bounds, they can tell us. We know more about affordable housing than they do. • We need to define our role. • The Planning Commission is more transactional. • The AHAC is more policy based, a hybrid of policy and transactional. • The AHAC has more to do with making plans and trying to execute them, rather than waiting for someone to bring something for the AHAC to act on. Vice Chair Faron further detailed the workplan: • It's a hybrid of experience she's had developing strategic plans. • The first part is the state requirements. • The second is an interpretation of what else we want to do, what our mission is and how our activities are categorized, whether they have to promote, recommend or review. • We need to discuss our additional mission beyond the state statute. • We could have a sponsor for each item and a GMD staff liaison. John is an expert in ADU/guest houses, but we may have an AHAC sponsor for each item. • "Current status" means as of the next AHAC meeting. • Some items are ongoing with no hard deadline or timeline for completion. • "Next steps" would be what else needs to happen. For the LDC amendments the BCC approved, what needs to happen next? It may not be in our hands, but we should track what that is. • A timeline for completion is nebulous because you don't know. You could predict the end of a year or fiscal year. • "Recommend" and "Review" come from the prior document. We need to review the impact of affordable housing projects that have been completed and are open and make recommendations on any changes to plans. Programs will add policies and incentives that will improve the outcome in the future. • That could be where AHAC connects to DSAC, where she's now the liaison. • We need to go back and take a look at what's been done, what we've recommended and April 7, 2023 how it's worked. That's important to close the loop on that. A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • Mr. Giblin said the GMD liaison would depend on expertise. • We can fill in the AHAC sponsor column at the next meeting. • This could be a standing three -page report they can discuss/report on monthly. • They can discuss a topic at each meeting. • Some items may drop off the list. • Some may require us to direct staff to move an agenda item to the BCC, or some AHAC members can make a statement on an issue to the BCC. • This subcommittee can act as a steering committee for the full AHAC, determining what two items should be put on next month's agenda. That will help shorten meetings. • We need to keep working efficiently, getting input from experts. • It's our job to bring those experts and issues to the full committee. • Should we change our name again? Steering Committee is neutral, not like Executive Committee, and has a directional feeling. We're not the Bylaws Subcommittee. Chairman Harney suggested they call the subcommittee the Steering Committee. He announced that he bought a house in Sarasota and they'll be moving next month. He's willing to do research and gather recommendation and can join the meeting by Zoom but will step down. He can't be a voting member. Mr. Hruby said he can be their consultant. Mr. Bosi asked what the real estate market was like in Sarasota. Chairman Harney said it's considerably cheaper than here. What we were looking for there was a difference of about $700,000 on the house we wanted to buy here. Vice Chair Faron noted that she found that was true too, but she and her husband moved to Naples for other reasons. Chairman Harney said cost was part of the reason he's moving, but his son lives nearby in Sarasota and we wanted family support in both directions. Action items: • Appoint a sponsor for each item and a GMD staff liaison. • Review the impact of completed and open affordable housing projects and make recommendations on any changes to their plans. • Review what AHAC has done, recommended and whether it's worked • Add the boards/councils that approve AHAC recommendations to the three page plan. • Determine AHAC's mission beyond the state statute. • Change the name to Steering Committee and work on the agenda for the full AHAC. Mr. Giblin summarized the discussion and decisions they iust made: • This subcommittee should grow into something different from just bylaws and strategic plan. • It should be a steering committee for the entire AHAC to take some of the load off the agenda and the length of the meetings. • It would do some of the heavy lifting and keep the AHAC agendas on track to target specific action items. Mr. Giblin noted that it's a good idea but presents a challenge: • It causes staffing and noticing issues by having multiple subcommittee meetings on top of the full AHAC monthly meeting. 4 April 7, 2023 • If that's the direction you decide to go, maybe you can determine whether there's a need to meet monthly. • Maybe it could be a quarterly meeting and the Steering Committee will continue its work until there's a full AHAC agenda. • Maybe the Steering Committee only needs to meet quarterly or less frequently than monthly. • We have about 10 staff here now, not to mention the behind -the -scenes work it takes to comply with all the Sunshine Law rules to allow the four subcommittee members to meet and talk. That presents staff challenges. A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • Quarterly meetings are probably sufficient. • We could have six subcommittee meetings a year and six full AHAC meetings yearly. • If we find the schedule to be insufficient, we could add a meeting. • Some of these discussions should be done at the full AHAC level. • We should continue subcommittee meetings monthly until we understand this better, then reduce the number of full AHAC meetings. • We probably shouldn't get involved in the same kind/level of detailed discussion here that we do at the full AHAC meetings. • We're here to set the agenda and issues and use the spreadsheet as a guiding document. • It's the chair's responsibility to keep the meeting focused on what we're preparing for the next AHAC meeting. • We don't need lengthy subcommittee meetings to prepare for AHAC meetings. We need two to three items to discuss at each meeting. • Mr. Hruby, chairman of the full AHAC, sits down with Cormac and Mike to develop the agenda one to two weeks before the full AHAC meeting. Maybe they could develop it that way. • Subcommittee members can email Cormac and Julie to suggest agenda items. Mr. Hruby asked Cormac what he'd suggest. Mr. Giblin noted that. • He and Mr. Hruby have worked together as a staff liaison and chair for many years, meeting a week before the agenda was sent out. • We would go over the upcoming list of items, the emails and phone calls from committee members each month about articles they've seen or projects done elsewhere. Then we'd put them on the agenda. • All of that is welcomed. That's the right way to go about getting something on the agenda. • As far as the structured meetings of the AHAC and the subcommittee, having too many public Sunshine Law meetings can bog us down and prevent us from completing task list items. • If it's a strategic plan, that should change from month -to -month. You report your goals, staff works on it and reports back to you so you can keep tabs on it. • It shouldn't be something that needs constant input every other month. • The way to set monthly agendas for the AHAC works best with staff working directly with the chair every month. Mr. Hruby suggested the subcommittee meet quarterly or every six months to refresh it, have an opinion and send it back to the chair and keep the monthly agendas the way we've been doing it, with him and Cormac sitting down for an hour a couple of weeks before the agenda is issued to consolidate everything we've heard from this committee and other committees and put it into April 7, 2023 a reasonable agenda. Mr. Giblin said the pre -work that goes into your real plan, the Local Housing Assistance Plan, and the recommendations are required by state statute to go to the BCC. We're going to start working on those this summer for presentation to the BCC this fall. There are multiple levels of getting things in front of AHAC members to keep them moving forward. Whatever is decided here or recommended, we'll take that to the next full AHAC meeting for approval. A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • This is a standing committee with the chair and vice chair and should meet quarterly or twice yearly. • None of this work changes on a monthly basis. • We can decide what to add or delete and maybe meet at the end of the year to set priorities. • This chart can be an attachment to the AHAC agenda that's updated for each meeting. • It's helpful to know what occurs at DSAC meetings. • We get a housing report from staff quarterly with trends, so maybe this could become a quarterly report and this subcommittee will meet for an hour every quarter to see if there are any changes, additions or deletions. • Providing more information to AHAC members will allow them to participate more in major items going through county processes and to the Planning Commission. • We could have a calendar showing all the NIMs and Planning Commission meetings and what's in between. We can pick and choose what we're doing/attending. • The intent is to have a calendar so members can offer to go to a meeting, so we have coverage and adhere to Sunshine Laws. We want to ensure we have members there. • Some items don't need to be reviewed on a monthly basis. We're promoting incentives to developers on websites, so if that box is checked, there's nothing to talk about. • Actionable items include employer needs and positively engaging with developers. • Vice Chair Faron said a developer found her on Linkedln this morning and has a lot of money and is interested in Collier County. Things like that can become agenda items, but the rest can become an attachment to the agenda each month. • Staff can help fill out the missing items and Julie can email the final version to us. We also can provide input through Julie. • If there's a particular policy we want to recommend to the Planning Commission that might have a time line, our goal is to get it to them. • The first piece, promotion and support for projects, is ongoing. • We need to keep track of key dates. • AHAC meetings will be more effective if members read the spreadsheet before meetings. • The ULI recommendations the BCC approved last week were the last set of four to go through, so they've all been acted upon or the BCC decided not to act on them. • Maybe the AHAC should re -review them now to see if there are others we should act upon. They may be relevant now, seven years later. The BCC opted not to move forward on seven of the 33 at the time. • The Local Housing Plan passed in 2017 and within it, there was a five-year and a 10-year checkup. We're starting the process now of doing the five-year checkup. • There were only two that were tried-and-true models of best practices nationwide that the BCC at that time decided not to move forward with, linkage fees and inclusionary zoning. They keep coming up again and again, ending in the BCC saying they wanted to put a nail in that coffin. • The Live Local Act makes a de facto inclusionary zoning if you to use it. It's by right. R1 April 7, 2023 Action Items: • Attach the chart to the monthly AHAC agenda and keep it up-to-date. • Use the chart as a calendar to assign members to attend meetings to promote affordable housing, listen and answer questions. • Keep track of key dates. • Review the discarded ULI recommendations to determine if'they're relevant now and should be acted upon. Mr. Bosi expanded more on the Live Local Act, telling the AHAC. • The Live Local Act has a requirement for a portion to be inclusion, to provide for affordable housing. It will be on a project -by -project basis. • Inclusionary zoning means requiring zoning on a project to provide a percentage of affordable -housing units. • Although the Board of County Commissioners rejected inclusionary zoning as a countywide policy, they adopted an inclusionary zoning policy. The Rural Land Stewardship Area requires villages and towns to have inclusionary zoning regulations. They must provide affordable housing and 2.5% of the geographic area of the county, the village or town, must be set aside for affordable housing, entitled at 10 units per acre or more. The BCC has adopted an inclusionary zoning policy, but may not have recognized that they did. • Seven of the ULI recommendations were rejected. • The BCC asked us to look at that and we're in the process of trying to gather information for the Urban Estates. He just spoke with the consultant and we're tentatively presenting this at the April 18' AHAC meeting to give it a first glance of what we found on guest houses in the Urban Estates. • The BCC allowed us to hire a community outreach coordinator. • Cormac mentioned the linkage -fee nexus study, which the BCC didn't support in mixed - income housing inclusionary zoning. That's an area for ADUs, the rentals of guest houses. The BCC rejected that in 2017 but brought it up again and asked us to review it, coordinate with the AHAC about the feasibility and bring the findings to the BCC for an evaluation. Mr. Hruby said there was another that he recommended, that they should set up a housing fund and fund it from the general fund. That also wasn't rejected. They just started doing that as a result of the Housing Trust Fund Subcommittee pushing for that. Mr. Giblin expanded upon those points: • That involves money that goes into the surtax fund. • The local Housing Trust Fund is funded when developers make a contribution. Some of the Rural Lands did that. Some, like the recent towers on Isle of Capri, decided to do that also prior to the 2017 ULI affordable -housing study. • County functions were all grant -supported. No general fund dollars went to it, but after that 2017 study, there have been general fund contributions to support staffing some affordable housing functions. • About $500,000 yearly went into the Housing Trust Fund for staffing and studies. It's been made available through the county's Consolidated Grant Application Cycle. A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • That program ran for almost a year, with a lot of research and recommendations about supplementing that fund. One recommendation is that they wanted $10 million from the general fund. 7 April 7, 2023 • That didn't occur, but a checking account was created and small deposits have been made. [Vice Chair Faron left the meeting at 11: 01 a.m.] • The BCC established the $500,000 for that budget year without any long-term continuing commitment to make that an annual county contribution. Mr. French told the AHAC: Six months ago, we established a housing director to focus on policy and do something in four months that no one could get done in over two years. We're getting ready to set budget policy. There's an effort that needs to be made, a commitment from the County Manager's Office or from the BCC. For every dollar we use to fund a program, staff, or support an initiative or program that benefits the community, whether it's the County Attorney's time or staff time, we cannot use enterprise dollars to fund that. [Vice Chair Faron rejoined the meeting at 11: 03 a.m.] • We've done so because we tie this into advancements that we think from the permitting process that we could help recognize, but also on the on the land -use side to better serve the client when they come forward with Site Development Plans or zoning petitions. It's a weak argument, but we look at this as a force multiplier. • Your County Manager has made a commitment. AHAC was created outside of the Community and Housing Services Division. • We've started to reestablish that policy piece and we're not clouded by the financial commitments/financial monitoring piece. That should have been broken out years ago. It stayed with the grant people. Now it's back in Community Development, Environmental Services, where it came from and the County Manager is committed to funding it. • We've hired people for hardened positions. Many positions were grant -funded and went when the money dried up and they couldn't find a grant. • The more initiatives you come up with, we're looking at identifying them as unfunded requests and a decision will have to be made during budget time with the Manager's Office and, ultimately, the BCC. • The county budget is only so large and there are three incorporated areas, but the county provides everything else. • There's a lineup between affordable housing, recreational programs, daycare, food for seniors and many different programs. Mental -health is No. 1. There's only so much money that can be distributed. • The County Manager recognizes the need hasn't changed, but has continued. • It doesn't matter what the economy produces. There always must be a balance between the transitional type of housing and a starter home that people can afford when starting a career. • We have an obligation to look at that and create or follow good methodologies to create good policy. • Many ULI study findings came up on a national level. Florida was not given any consideration. • What we see is a lot of erosion, where the state comes in and says you can't do this to a developer. The elimination of the Department of Community Affairs was one. We're grateful to Gov. Scott's administration and the contributions he made, but that changed the playing field and we're monitoring that. 12 April 7, 2023 • We're supporting your ideas, but there are going to be times that staff may not be in lockstep with you. We may make a recommendation to the BCC that won't be favorable to the AHAC because we believe it could be too intrusive or unlawful or it won't work. • He appreciated Jennifer being at DSAC on Wednesday, where we have tough discussions. • The idea is to link AHAC to the development community because there was always an imbalance and communication didn't occur. We're moving forward with that linkage to have functional meetings. • Cormac won't be going away, but Sarah will be moving into the interim director position and Cormac will stay for another six months for the transition. • We're adding staff and have a staffing plan. • It's good to have the subcommittee meet once or twice a year. We blended the group into GMD to remove the silos. • The county manager has been telling residents that they show up to meetings for controversial items, but not the budget, which is important. • GMD has become very open. • We're here to guide the AHAC, but that reduces services elsewhere. • He needs to expose the AHAC to what goes on in zoning decisions. • Directors may not be able to attend all the meetings, but he, Mike Stark and the remaining division directors talk and determine priority items based on what we're seeing in the market, trends, committee feedback and activity. • The majority of the demand within the community is from businesses. • We need to look at how to reduce homelessness, which will reduce Code Enforcement cases and save money so it can be used elsewhere. Mr. Hruby said we understand there are limited resources and the highest priority gets it. As an advisory committee and as affordable -housing advocates, are we in a position to ratchet that priority up higher in the BCC's eyes to get you more money? We knew Mary Waller's housing fund committee wouldn't get $10 million, but that brought it to the light of the public and BBC, underscoring that this is the kind of money needed to get things done. Maybe we could ratchet that up higher on the priority list to make your job of budgeting easier. When it comes to proposing best practices and policy changes, we're not lawyers or planners who implement this. Fortunately, we have a lawyer sitting here. A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • The county looks at what could happen if we don't make these decisions. • The AHAC is lucky to have a BCC member on the committee, a champion for your efforts. • Commissioner Hall and Mr. French talked about affordable housing at least twice this week and we're going to continue to move forward. • The AHAC appreciates all the staff who attended today. • To have all this expertise, including Michael Stark, the GMD finance director, in this room is eye opening. • It makes a huge difference and keeps the AHAC on track. • Sarah Harrington has been tapped as the new interim director and she'll test it to see if she wants the position. • The AHAC wants to review the list of ULI recommendations and what happened to them; Mr. Bosi will provide a PowerPoint slide on that. • We need to start looking at the AHAC's successes and revisit some things because they've changed. Some could be rejuvenated and added to Jennifer's list. • The majority of the BCC wasn't here when the ULI recommendations were made. M April 7, 2023 • It's important to have staff involved with the AHAC committee and provide input to guide them, especially with the new spreadsheet, which will be AHAC's road map. • Vice Chair Faron asked staff to review the spreadsheet to fill in the blanks with more information and offer suggestions about additions or deletions. A discussion ensued aboutplacing another AHAC member on the Planning Commission as a non -voting member to increase cross-pollination, but AHAC members and staff agreed that could be redundant and shouldn't be a priority since Planning Commissioner Shea already is on the AHAC and is a voting member of the Planning Commission. A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • On line 8, current consideration for impact fee adjustments or changes is ongoing and is being handled by the County Manager's Office. • No. 9 involves changes to parking requirements. That's already policy and can be removed from the list. • At the AHAC's April 18t' meeting, we should review the three -page spreadsheet in light of the BCC's vote and what the Live Local Act would do. Maybe some of these things should be edited or refined. We don't want to work on a moot point. • Mr. Bosi addressed that, noting that when the Live Local Act was passed, Collier County was ahead of the state. The ULI recommendations from 2017 increase density, offer automatic conversion by right and other provisions in our GMP amendments. The state has supersized it. • Developers may prefer the local option over the state's Live Local Act. • Both have the validity to coexist side by side. Determining which fits the needs of a developer at the time will be on a project -by -project basis and won't detract from the work the county is doing on them. • From a land -development perspective, 82% of our land is zoned either agricultural or residential. Neither of those two categories are applicable to the Live Local Act. Industrial, commercial or mixed -use are less than one -fifth of our land area, so there will be opportunities needed for continuing provisions and incentives that are on the books and the ones we're adopting to help promote affordable housing in non-commercial, industrial -type areas. • The City of Naples is reviewing how the Live Local Act will impact the city. • County GMD staff are meeting with the County Attorney's Office on Monday to interpret that statute. There's a lot of ambiguity and opinions on how the statute's regulations can be applied. We're trying to get opinions on how it should be applied, then determine whether it tramples over anything in our initiatives. What are potential implications, where can it be targeted and what will the impact be? • The Live Local Act says a developer is entitled to the density of the highest residential allowed within the jurisdiction and the highest height. The city of Naples is unique because there are no public hearings associated with that. The land has to meet water management regulations, the landscape buffer, etc. The Site Development Plan has a key role. What's unique about the City of Naples is it becomes an administrative process. City Council voted to review all SDPs and proceedings because they might not like the height and may want to reject it because of that. They won't be able to express that under the new law. • There's a tremendous amount of ambiguity. It's going to be messy during the first couple of years as the Live Local Act process unveils itself. Mr. Bosi told the AHAC: • The Live Local Act overshadows the four GMD amendments the BCC just approved. April 7, 2023 We have a cap of 25 units per acre within any one of our initiatives. To get to that cap, you've got to start dipping down to some low categories to be able to get the full arrangement of density. The state statute says you get what our maximum density is, above 25 units per acre, so the state act trumps that. If you put 40% at 120 AMI, you're about 10-15% below market price, so the subsidization most developers will choose is 40% at 120 AMI. Will they really provide it to the most critical areas of need? No. But it is a solution designed to address the supply. About five years ago, Mr. Bosi told Commissioner Taylor that if you really want to make headway within affordable housing, you have to hit the supply-side issue. You have to add more units. That's exactly what this county, its residents and community leaders don't want to hear. They've spent 45 years saying they don't want the intensity of the East Coast. A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • Our housing market is a lot different from the "hood" in Orlando. It may work perfectly in Orlando to revitalize some downtown neighborhoods, but for here it's a joke. • The Live Local Act is the ultimate anti-NIMBY statute. It's YIMBY, "yes, in my backyard" everywhere. • For years, the state legislature and governor were getting pounded by developers and builders who wanted to help with affordable housing. They contended they'd get to a board meeting and there would be 100 people in orange shirts showing up to say, "No, don't build it here." With a stroke of a pen, the state decided that if it's been good enough for whatever else has been approved in that jurisdiction, such as 92 units per acre at Metropolitan Naples or 120 feet for the towers in the Isle of Capri, then that's going to be the standard. If it's good enough for a Naples beach tower, it's good enough for an affordable housing developer to just take it. It takes the Yes -In -My -Backyard initiative to the extreme. Building heights are a deal changer in Collier County, allowing a developer to build to the highest building within one mile that's already been approved for someone else. Chairman Harney said he will continue his research for the AHAC and already has contacted Sarasota's AHAC to see if they need a board member. Maybe he can share ideas with Collier County. 4.

MARKET -BASED SOLUTIONS NOT IDEAL Lack of affordability leads to non -optimal conditions and higher percentage of income going to housing and transportation The average per capita income most major markets is disproportionate to average rental rates. With very limited studios available and many one bed- room apartments costing over $1,500 per month, many have to look for alternative solutions: Spending more in transportation due to longer commutes: the strata ranging from 80% to 100% of AMI, transportation costs can range from $389 to $541 per month Roommates and group housing, lack of independence Sub -par living standards including renting nightly or weekly rooms, which often cost more than traditional apartments Item All consumer units Less than $15,000 $15,000 to $29,999 $30,000 to $39,999 $40,000 to $49,999 Income Income before taxes $84,352 $7,489 $22,130 $34,766 $44,719 Income after taxes 74,949 9,045 24,496 36,692 45,478 Wages and salaries Mean .............................................. 65,449 2,520 7,495 19,168 28,598 Share ............................................. 77.6 33.7 33.9 55.1 63.9 Average number in consumer unit: People ................................ 2.5 1.7 1.8 2.1 2.3 Children under 18 0.6 0.3 0.3 0.4 0.5 Adults 65 and 0.4 0.4 0.6 0.6 0.5 Earners 1.3 0.4 0.5 0.9 1.1 Vehicles 1.9 1.0 1.2 1.6 1.7 Housing tenure: Homeowner 66 42 56 57 58 Renter 34 58 44 43 42 Average annual expenditures Mean Incomes ....................... $61,334 $28,235C$31,604 $40,689 $44,081 Housinq Mean Monthly .................................. $1,784 $1,014 $1,284 $1,412 Share ............................................. 34.9 43.1 37.9 38.4 Apparel and services Mean .............................................. 1,434 796 779 851 1,160 Share ............................................. 2.3 2.8 2.5 2.1 2.6 Transportation Mean Monthly .................................. $819 $366 $389 $541 $615 Share ............................................. 16.0 15.5 14.8 16.0 16.7 Healthcare Mean .............................................. 5,177 2,267 3,594 4,180 4,386 Share ............................................. 8.4 8.0 11.4 10.3 9.9 Personal insurance and Mean .............................................. $7,246 $454 $997 $2,130 $3,106 Share ............................................. 11.8 1.6 3.2 5.2 7.0 Pensions and Social Security Mean .............................................. $6,760 $282 $763 $1,863 $2,797 Share ............................................. 11.0 1.0 2.4 4.61 6.3 Confidential STYX CO. WHY MICRO UNITS MAKE SENSE According to a 2015 study by the Urban Land Institute, "Smaller and micro units outperform conventional units in the marketplace —they achieve higher occupancy rates and garner significant rental -rate premiums (rent per square foot) compared with conventional units." The study also notes that "in general, smaller units enjoy higher overall occupancy." The 2015 study notes that the ability to live alone was a primary driver for 71 % of those that leased micro -units. Sally Augustin, an environmental psychologist and founder of Design with Science notes, "People have really strong psychological reasons for wanting a place of their own. It signals you've reached a certain life stage, it gives you an opportunity to express who you are, and it gives you an opportunity for privacy. That's important for obvious reasons, but it also allows you to mull over past life events. We need respite every now and then to make sense of what's happening to us." The smallest units offered in the current generation of product tend to achieve the strongest occupancy levels and significant rent (per square foot) premiums over larger floor plans. Small units thus appear underrepresented in the inventory relative to demand potential. * Lam_ MODEL UNIT AT THE TEALE Micro -Unit over Conventional -Unit Trade-off I would choose a micro unit over a conventional -size apartment unit in exchange for: Ranking areas 1st- or 2nd-rank mentions 1st -rank mentions 53°% 23% Lower rent compared with conventional studias Desired location/neighborhood 73°% 44% Reduced utility costs 35°% 7% Ability to live alone (i.e., without roommates) 28% 12% Shorter commute to work 19% 8% Minimal apartment upkeep, cleaning, etc. 10% 3% Neighbors with a similar lifestyle 8% 3% More community a menideslshared spaces 7% 2% Proximity to public transportation 6% Y 3% 'Urban Land Institute Confidential STYX CO. HOTEL CONVERSIONS ARE THE PERFECT SOLUTION New construction of small, zero -bedroom, units is typically not feasible outside of top -tier markets due to high constructions costs. However, when obsolete motels can be purchased at reasonable price points, motel conversions provide an economical solution to providing micro units and attainable housing. While the floor plates and floorplans of the motel properties will remain largely unchanged, the exterior design, materials, entries, and common spaces area updated to embrace a more welcoming, less transitional atmosphere. Colors are muted yet cheerful, outdoor furniture and draperies are added to the exterior as an extension of resident living spaces. More common areas are introduced, including cabanas and other furniture added to a more welcoming pool deck, new fitness center, new resident lounge and leasing office, new laundry facilities, new rideshare waiting location, new dog park, and a plethora of lush greenspaces throughout the property.

DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING COST-EFFECTIVE HOUSING Governmental challenges can add significant costs to a project that will limit the ability to provide an attainable workforce solu- tion. Zoning Restrictions: • Multifamily and hotels do not always exist in same zoning district • Maximum dwelling units, many municipalities have caps on units per acre • Minimum parking requirements, variances are extremely challenging Building Code vs. Local Requirements: • Local governments often impose greater requirements that IBC requires; adding additional cost to redevelopment • IBC often provides relief for structures that cannot be easily offered subject to jurisdiction approval Timing delays associated with approvals can account for up to 5% of total project costs (even when regulations impose no other costs) Cost of applying for zoning approval, 3.2% Development requirements (layout, mats, etc.) beyond the ordinary, 5.4% Changes to building codes over the past 10 years, 11.1 % Source: NAHB Confidential STYX CO.

The recommendations may include modifications or repeal of existing policies, procedures, ordinances, regulations or plan provisions; the creation of exceptions applicable to affordable housing; or the adoption or new policies, regulations, ordinances or plan provisions. " The Collier County AHAC believes it's mission includes the responsibilities assigned to it by Florida Statute 420.9076(4) as well as other permissible activities such as the promotion and review of affordable housing plans, programs and incentives. This mission is accomplished through the creation of an annual work plan that defines and guides AHAC's efforts and support of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC.) AHAC's efforts are broadly categorized as encompassing 3 main activities: Promote, Recommend and Review plans, programs, policies and incentives in support of the development and preservation of affordable housing.
