Agenda 03/12/2024 Item #16F 1 (Casa Amigos EHT, LLC Project)03/12/2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a reimbursement in the amount of $281,589.12 to Casa Amigos EHT, LLC,
for impact fees paid on Building Permit Number PRBD20201252841 and proposed to be deferred
through an Impact Fee Deferral Agreement for a multi-family affordable housing rental project.
(Companion to Item 16D1)
OBJECTIVE: To approve a reimbursement amount of $281,589.12 to Casa Amigos EHT, LLC, for impact
fees paid on Building Permit Number PRBD20201252841, for a twenty -four (24) unit multi-family affordable
housing rental project.
CONSIDERATIONS: Per section 74-202 of the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances, otherwise
known as the Collier County Consolidated Impact Fee Ordinance, impact fees paid are refundable within four
years of payment and after that date the impact fees run with the land to be used toward future development. On
July 7th, 2021, a building permit was issued for the Casa Amigo's Project. On September 18th, 2023, the Casa
Amigos EHT, LLC (the “Owner”) notified Collier County's Community and Human Services Division of its
request to pursue a rental impact fee deferral for the Project. The Owner was under a time constraint to place
tenants into the affordable housing units, prior to an approved rental impact fee deferral agreement, and paid
the impact fees to obtain a certificate of occupancy in accordance with section 74-202(a) of the Collier County
Code of Laws and Ordinances.
This request for reimbursement of impact fees is contingent on the approval of a companion item for this
project’s Impact Fee Deferral Agreement (Companion Item ID#27940). As part of the deferral agreement, a
lien will be recorded on the property and substitute collateral offered in lieu of impact fee payment, allowing
the Owner to be eligible for reimbursement of the impact fees that were already paid.
Furthermore, the owner agrees that even though the impact fees must be repaid to the County within ten years,
the Owner will continue to utilize the rental units for affordable housing for at least thirty years from the date of
the first rental unit’s certificate of occupancy. If these units cease to be utilized for affordable housing, the full
amount of deferred impact fees shall be immediately repaid to the County, including all applicable intere st and
penalties. With that said, the restriction that the property remain affordable for thirty years remains.
In compliance with provisions of the impact fee ordinances, the Owner must deliver, to the satisfaction of the
Collier County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, the substitute collateral in the form of cash
equivalent financial instrument payable to Collier County in advance of a reimbursement being issued, which
will yield to the County the full amount of the deferred impact fees, i.e., the sum of Two Hundred Eighty-One
Thousand Five Hundred Eighty-Nine Dollars and 12/100 on or before the end of ten years from the date such
impact fees are deferred.
Reimbursement in the amount of $281,589.12 has been requested as follows:
