Agenda 04/09/2024 Item #16F 7 (Immokalee Impact Fee Installment Payment Plan Agreement with Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance, Inc.)04/09/2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve and authorize the Chairman to sign an Immokalee Impact Fee Installment
Payment Plan Agreement with Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance Inc., to allow $195,160.96 in impact fees
to be paid over 30 years as a special assessment for 16 affordable Multi-Family Rental Units within the
Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance RPUD Project.
OBJECTIVE: To administer the Immokalee Impact Fee Installment Payment Program.
CONSIDERATIONS: On July 11, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners (“Board”) adopted Ordinance
No. 2017-34, which established the Program for the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Area (CRA). The
Program provides an alternative to paying impact fees in full as a prerequisite to the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy, a feepayer may pay their impact fees in installments rather than a lump sum by entering into an
impact fee installment payment program agreement with Collier County which provides that the installment
payments shall be by special assessment levied as non-ad valorem assessments against the subject property.
On July 25, 2023, Agenda Item 10.A, the Board approved to extend the Program through September 2028, and
to continue the program with a term of payments over 30 years, capping the Program inter est rate at 5% in order
to be consistent with the interest rate utilized for the Countywide Impact Fee Deferral Program, and continue the
waiver of any application fees for any new residential and commercial development.
On October 14, 2023, Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance Inc. applied for the Immokalee Impact Fee Installment
Payment Plan for a 16-unit multi-family rental housing unit project located on 2069 Corazon De La Comunidad
Circle, Immokalee, FL, 34142, to allow for a total of $195,160.96 in deferr ed impact fees with a 5% interest rate
to be paid through a special assessment levied as non-ad valorem assessments against the subject property over a
30-year term.
County Staff, in consultation with County Attorney’s Office, determined that the applic ant is within the
parameters of the program in accordance with Section 74-201(h)(2) of the Collier County Laws and Ordinances
and the Board’s July 25, 2023 direction. The attached proposed Immokalee Impact Fee Installment Payment
Plan Agreement with Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance Inc. effectuates the application and Program.
The Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance RPUD project consists of a total 128 affordable multi -family rental units.
This agreement is only related to the first of eight planned buildings. The remaining seven buildings are
currently eligible and may also elect to participate in the Immokalee Impact Fee Installment Payment Program.
FISCAL IMPACT: Fiscal impacts, both positive and negative, are presently unknown; however, the program
will continue to be tracked for future reports to the Board. Under this Program, impact fees will be paid in full,
with interest, over the period of thirty years.
Participation in this Program is limited to properties within the Immokalee CRA and Program acti vity has not
been notable to this point. However, in the event of a significant increase in Program applications, staff will
provide the Board an update on associated staffing needs as well as impacts on the respective Impact Fee Trust
Funds and capital projects.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Objective 2 of the Capital Improvement Element (CIE) of the Collier
County Growth Management Plan (GMP) states: “Future development will bear a proportionate cost of facility
improvements necessitated by growth” which is accomplished, in part by the payment of impact fees. The
program provides for the payment of impact fees in installments.
Additionally, Policy 1.9 of the Economic Element of the GMP provides: “Collier County, in response to the
current and projected needs of its residents, will encourage a diverse mix of housing types, sizes, prices, and
rents” and Objective 3 of the Economic Element states: “Collier County will support programs which are

designed to promote and encourage the recruitment of new industry as well as the expansion and retention of
existing industries in order to diversify the County's economic base.”
The program is continuing to be analyzed regarding allowing the payment of impact fees by an installment
program, as a voluntary alternative to paying the fees in a single, up -front payment, will have a positive effect
on both the costs of housing and economic growth, and is consistent with the goals and objectives of the
Economic Element of the GMP as listed above.

vote for Board approval. - DDP.
RECOMMENDATION: To approve and authorize the Chairman to sign an Immokalee Impact Fee Installment
Payment Plan Agreement with Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance Inc., to allow $195,160.96 in impact fees to be

Fair Housing RPUD Project.
