Approval of the February 20, 2024, AHAC Subcommittee meeting minutes Vice Chair Faron said she didn't attend that meeting due to a conflict so she won't vote. Chairman Hruby noted that the preamble on the title page, p. 1, should say subcommittee and the chair and vice chair should say subcommittee chair and subcommittee vice chair. On p. 4, under Mr. Puchalla's comments, The Housing Alliance (THA) should not have an "Inc." after Alliance. Ms Roberts made a motion to approve the January 16, 2024, meeting minutes. Second by Planning Commissioner Shea. The motion passed unanimously, 7-0, Ms. Faron abstained because she didn't attend that meeting. [Ms. Faron turned in a Form 8B for that reason.] 4. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS AND PRESENTATION a. Land Trust Presentation (M. Puchalla) Mr. Puchalla, executive director of Housing Development Corp. of Southwest Florida dba Collier County Land Trust, detailed a PowerPoint presentation: • The Housing Alliance's work as a non-profit parallels the AHAC's objectives. • HELP is the only HUD -approved local housing counseling agency in Collier County. Certified since 2009, experienced the flows in the marketplace, the recession, foreclosures, hurricanes, a pandemic, etc. • Meet with individuals and households within the community to help with housing 2 March 19, 2024 suitability and sustainability issues. Providing a navigator concept. • Noticed no matter how much education and preparation they did, without inventory, it didn't make a difference. • In 2020, received funding to incorporate and launch the Collier County Community Land Trust. The goal is to acquire land and hold it in long-term renewable ground leases for development of both rental and home -ownership opportunities and serve as a nonprofit partner in development deals. • The community land trust model removes the land cost from the equation for someone who wants to purchase and hopefully helps to find a subsidy, like the SHIP (State Housing Initiatives Partnership) downpayment assistance program. • First deal: Phase One is Ekos Allego, partnering with McDowell Housing Partners. A 160-unit affordable senior rental development. 62-plus independent living community with 10% of the units for extremely low-income residents at 30% of AMI and 90% of the units capped at 60% of AMI. Phase Two is Ekos Cadenza, a sister future project with another 160 senior units with the same income and rent restrictions, six to eight months behind Ekos Allegro. • Connected with Healthcare Network of Southwest Florida to bring the mobile unit and offer immunizations and basic medical services. • "Senior residents" was one of the major preferences the bank was looking for Ekos was one of 28 developments funded nationwide. Only two in Florida. • Affordability component secured through a 50-year, land -use restrictive agreement so there are 50 years of affordability. Role is the non-profit general partner. HELP helps the developer access resources through the Homes for the Aged Program, which requires a non-profit general partner. That includes funding and a property -tax exemption on this property, which is available through Florida Statutes. • All monitoring will be done through the property management company. This is a Low -Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) development, so there will be state and federal monitoring. • The Community Land Trust will try to help with development and land preservation, real estate. The Community Land Trust's mission is to provide permanent affordable housing opportunities in Collier County. HELP will be dealing with housing assistance and counseling and people in the community. HELP's mission statement is to provide home -ownership opportunities and financial strength through education and counseling. That's the counseling piece, the people entity. The Housing Alliance will focus on education, advocacy, and philanthropic opportunities. The Housing Alliance is new, but it will be more about uniting resources to drive the other two missions, so it all funnels back to helping people get to more permanently affordable housing. • The Housing Navigators concept fits the AHAC's objectives, such as contacting employers. Already contacted Collier County Public Schools and NCH, which have conducted workforce housing surveys. Discussion ensued between Mr. Puchalla and the AHAC members regarding impact fees and low-income housing tax credits. Chairman Hruby shared Low -Income Housing Tax Credits usually sunset after about March 19, 2024 15 years. That's where they balance out, they sunset so if you give a waiver for 10 years, it doesn't follow the alignment with their funding source, the Low -Income Housing Tax Credit. Discussion ensued between Mr. Puchalla, the AHAC members, and County Staff regarding impact fees, low-income housing tax credits, philanthropic endeavors, Collier County Community Foundation, impact fee waivers, impact fees relation to the cost of constructing housing more affordable. Mr. Giblin told the AHAC. • There's been frustration with the ESP (essential services personnel) renters and reaching out to new developments coming online. How do they get notified? • This is an issue that staff has been dealing with since the Planning Commission and the board started putting ESP -preference clauses into the new PUDs because no two ESP definitions are identical. • The Division put together a list of all ESP contacts, including NCH's and Physicians Regional's HR managers, and HR managers for the city of Naples, the Sheriff's Office, etc. For all the employers on the list contact information includes names, addresses, phone numbers. • Once a unit is available, a developer can use the list to mass email information. The AHAC is on the list so when there's an availability, the AHAC can announce that at a public meeting to get the word out. 5. PUBLIC COMUVIENT John C. Johnson, who is running for District 3 county commissioner, told the AHAC. • Affordable housing is not affordable. Desires to think outside the box and build condominiums. [Mr. Terhune left the meeting at 9: 56 a.m.] Jessica Turner, who represents the Southwest Florida Home Coalition, told the AHAC: • Represent: Collier, Lee, Charlotte, Hendry, and Glades. Collier is doing the best work. • The coalition is working on a regional housing study. Data collection is done. Getting deliverables before the final report in November. Final report will be available on the website. • Group focused on policy "encouragement" more friendly than "recommendations" with partners including The Salvation Army and Michael Overway from the Hunger & Homeless Coalition (of Collier and Lee counties). • Working on evictions prevention. Regional effort was too large. broke it down because each county is different. Partners include Legal Aid, county clerks, nonprofit agencies and Human Services agencies. Collier County has a fund to help people at risk of eviction. • Working on trying to get people to accept more housing choice vouchers. Chairman Hruby thanked her for the update. 4 March 19, 2024 6. DISCUSSION ITEMS a. Subcommittee Recap Two different strategic planning documents, annual report and AHAC action plan. To make a more streamlined approach, decided to have one, the annual report, and incorporate everything AHAC is working on. A discussion ensued about combining the annual report and the AHAC action plan. A discussion ensued and the AHAC decided to hold off on sunsetting the subcommittee. b. AHAC Policy Statement Mr. Giblin reported. • In November, the County Affordable Housing Fact Sheet was prepared and contained data on need, affordability, and recent policy -based actions. The goal was to assist the AHAC and others in the community to describe the county's housing affordability situation. • The committee asked for this to be simplified, make it the size of an index card so the AHAC can have a clear, concise mission statement and some bullets to describe housing affordability and our division's and the AHAC's actions over the past couple years. Ms. Roberts made a motion to ask Mr. Giblin to move forward with making a summary of the County Affordable Housing Fact Sheet. Second by Planning Commissioner Shea. The motion passed unanimously, 7-0. Action Item: Mr. Giblin will prepare a summar►, of the County Affordable Housing Fact Sheet. 7. STAFF AND COMMITTEE GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS a. Timeline for 2024 SHIP Incentives Report (C. Giblin) (Completed during the last item.) b. DSAC Update (H. Roberts) Ms. Roberts said Mr. Mulhere knows more about the sidewalk discussion. Mr. Mulhere reported: • The DSAC discussion focused on building sidewalks where there is no connectivity in the rural Golden Gate Estates. Doesn't matter whether you build a sidewalk as long as you pay the county the money that's required. • There were some LDC amendments a few years ago that provided some relief to those standards and those are in place. Ms. Roberts said they also discussed the event for the rollout of The Housing Alliance. c. 2024 Apartment Survey (C. Giblin) Mr. Giblin reported: • The county used to perform a quarterly survey of every apartment complex in March 19, 2024 Collier. Stopped for about a year. Decided to resume after the new GMCD division was created. Completed in January in partnership with CHS. • The survey is included in agenda packet and is on the website. • It's a phone call to every apartment complex countywide to ask how many units are available; how many one bedrooms, two bedrooms and three bedrooms are available; what is the charge for a one-, two- and three -bedroom apartment? • It's a snapshot in time with several years of data in the same format. • Shows trends evolving: From the January 2023 survey to January 2024, prices decreased a few percent. The vacancy rate improved again marginally. There were no units available for low-income apartment seekers. Almost 400 units available in the moderate -income section for Naples. There's another section for Immokalee. Immokalee increased a lot more than Naples. • The data is listed at: CollierCountyHousing.com in the tab that says "I need housing." • The data is only as good as the date that we made the call, but there's contact information. Action Item: Mr. Giblin will send Vice Chair Faron an Excel spreadsheet of the apartment survey, d. Collier County Developments Approved Since 2017 (C. Giblin) Mr. Giblin told the AHAC: Enhancements made to the list: This is a list of every development approved by county commissioners since 2018 that include an affordability component. Reviewed the information in the header columns for each development on the list. (the name; address; if they're open; the rental rate for a 2-2; shows whether it's approved; the total units in the development; the number of affordable units; what percentage of the development affordable units comprise; and the number built and opened to date, breaks down affordable units by income level targeted: 30%- 140% of AMI, ESP preference only, financial contributions to the counties Affordable Housing Trust Fund. Various boards, the community, Clerk of Courts, and County Manager's Office have asked for this information to determine progress and targeting of our units. The board has been good at targeting units in 80%-120% of AMI. Action Item • Mr. Giblin will email the revised apartment survey to AHAC members. A discussion ensued and the following points were made: • The University of Florida Shimberg Center is the state's housing data clearinghouse, which provides the County's need numbers when drafting the housing element. • On the list, 4,500 developments were approved, but only 734 have been built so far and some are under construction. Need to know how many units will be coming in the next several years, not just number that were approved. • A couple developments are rural towns and villages with 20- or 30-year horizons. • Use CityView software to track from the building permits to the Certificate of Occupancy. March 19, 2024 • Gap housing goes up to 140% and are only available to homeownership. • When "Gap" was established, the median income was a lot lower than it is now. • The majority of our workforce is well under 80% median income. There's a median income and then the actual workforce income, which is lot lower. • Collier County's economic profile is pulled from LiCast. Action Item: Staff was asked to specify how many units will be built is five, 10, 12, 15 years from now once that information is available. e. Introduction of DSAC member/liaison (C. Giblin) Chairman Hruby asked Bob Mulhere, who will be the DSAC liaison to the AHAC, to introduce himself: Mr. Mulhere told the AHAC: • Shared his professional work experience. • DSAC is the Development Services Advisory Committee. Much of the cost for the Growth Management Department is paid for through permit fees, zoning fees and others, which are placed into an enterprise fund. Only activities more broadly not directly related to developments, such as Code Enforcement, etc., would be paid for by taxpayer dollars. • When the Board of County Commissioners adopted the current Land Development Code in 2001, the Board created the DSAC to look at issues that impact the development community, including impact fees and regulations so the development community's perspective on new regulations and other issues could be represented. Discussion ensued about the purpose of the AHAC-DSAC cross pollination because many of the discussions on the DSAC involve land development and costs and the future growth of the county. [Agenda item 3.a was then heard.] f. Upcoming Public Meetings (C. Giblin) Mr. Giblin reported. • There is one public meeting: the Fiddler's Creek PUD amendment, the Section 29 addition. Scheduled to go to the Planning Commission on April 18. The NIM occurred. • JLM Living and Mattson at Vanderbilt PUD were continued by the applicant. 8. NEW BUSINESS Chairman Hruby reported. • For a half -day tomorrow, the Housing Alliance and ULI are jointly hosting an initiative that the AHAC kicked off last June or July: What are the opportunities that Live Local provides Collier County, what are the obstacles to implementing it, and how can we make it applicable to Collier? • There will be a discussion and no presentations. Invitation only. March 19, 2024 Mr. Bosi reported. • During tomorrow's Board of County Commissioners meeting, planning to describe applying the Live Local Act, the associated densities, the height restrictions and how it's being applied by County Staff. Mr. French reported: • The County Attorney's Office spoke about this at the last Planning Commission meeting. Reanalyzing the approach taken in 2023 due to this glitch bill. • Attorney Ashton added the April 7 executive summary will address the original bill. • Also seeing an insurance gap. One of the news stations this morning featured a woman who lost her home and is now homeless because she can't afford the cost of insurance and her mortgage. • Starting to see this due to Risk Rating 2.0, a 14%-18% increase in flood insurance alone. That will create big issues on the affordable housing front. • Provided updates related to a disconnect between the developer, the architect, the GC, and what is being submitted to the County resulting in more reviews and greater costs. Lower the number of reviews and the savings can be passed on to the residents. • Need to talk more about accomplishments, what is the County doing with DSAC, the Planning Commission and the BCC and start celebrating some of those staff successes with the community to show that we have made advancements. Discussion ensued between the AHAC members and Mr. French about private providers not helping to move agendas faster and the review process being more efficient without the private provider, the County not doing the inspections while still taking staff time to track- monitor- and deal with- issues when they arise. As a result of private providers, building official and staff have more conversations with the County Attorney's Office than ever before. Specifying an instance from a recent example between private provider and contractors where County staff had to go to the job site because the plans submitted by and the reviews completed by the private provider did not make sense. Provided another instance with the County having zero visibility on this instance because the owner believed the County was holding up the permit/ CO, only to realize it's the private provider and GC. 9.

The new provisions are intended to streamline the process for converting commercial zoning to residential zoning, increase density within Activity Centers and along bus/transit lines in connection with Transit Oriented Development (TOD), and to create Strategic Opportunity Sites.

On October 25, 2017, the Board accepted a Community Housing Plan (CHP) and authorized staff on February 27, 2018 to begin its implementation. As a follow up to that item, the Board reviewed an LDC amendment (PL20180002172) on February 12, 2019. Ordinance 2019-02 approved new affordable housing definitions and the Affordable Housing Density Bonus Program (AHDB Program), which increased the affordable housing density bonus from eight extra units per acre to up to 12 extra units per acre. At an earlier meeting, on October 9, 2018, the Board directed staff to move forward with the final recommendations of the CHP. Staff was tasked with preparing Growth Management Plan (GMP) and LDC amendments to address five initiatives identified in the CHP. Those initiatives are identified in Exhibit C. C:\Users\CormacGiblin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\OFU2LT6W\LDCA (04-12-2024) ORGINAL FORMAT CG MM Edits.docx co _,er c0141 ty Growth Management Department Initiative 1 was addressed when staff presented an LDC amendment (PL20200001703) to the Board on February 9, 2021. The Board adopted Ordinance 2021-05, providing relief from specified processes, to better ensure cost certainty and savings for projects containing housing that is affordable. The proposed LDC amendment addresses Initiative 2 through 5. The proposed provisions include the following: (2) streamlining conversion of commercial zoning to residential zoning when providing for housing that is affordable; (3) increasing density within Activity Centers from 16 units per acre to 25 units per acre when providing for housing that is affordable; (4) creation of Strategic Opportunity Sites as an identified subdistrict within the GMP to allow for mixed use development that provides for residential density up to 25 units per acre which is integrated with non-residential land uses with a high degree of employment opportunities, such as corporate headquarters or business campuses; and (5) increasing density opportunities along bus/transit lines. In developing these initiatives, staff has worked with consultants, stakeholders, the development industry, non-profit agencies, and various other interested parties over the course of the last 18 months. This LDC amendment represents the implementing regulations and companion item to a GMP amendment to incorporate Initiative 2 through 5 within the GMP to advance opportunities for housing that is affordable. The purpose and intent of the Mixed -Income Program for Housing that is Affordable is to incentivize affordable housing and implement the GMP, § 163.3161 et seq. Florida Statutes; and the Florida Administrative Code. One change that has occurred since DSAC-LDR is that staff added a minimum size to Table 2. Building Dimension Standards for Principal Uses in Base Zoning Districts in LDC section 4.02.01, to account for the residential units that are now proposed throughout the C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, and C-5 zoning districts. The sizes are consistent with the minimum sizes required in the RMF-12 and RMF-16 zoning districts. The LDC amendment also proposes to modify the Affordable Housing Density Bonus Rating System table in LDC section 2.06.03 by changing the footnote that restricts the Gap income levels (i.e., >120 to <140) to owner - occupied only. Staff anticipates that modifying the footnote in this manner to allow rental projects within this income level may provide developers with more options at the lever income levels, resulting in fewer requests for small-scale amendments to the GMP. DSAC-LDR Subcommittee Recommendation: On June 15, 2021, the DSAC-LDR Subcommittee discussed deleting the word "inner" from the definition of Transit Core. The DSAC-LDR recommended approval of the LDC amendment with the following changes, which have been incorporated into the amendment: • The provision for mixed use development (residential with housing that is affordable and commercial) that is currently proposed in the C-1, C-2, and C-3 zoning districts should also be carried forward to the C-4 and C- 5 zoning districts as well with edits made to LDC section 4.02.38 accordingly. The LDC amendment returned to the Subcommittee on January 19, 2022, because numerous changes had been made since their last review in 2021. The Subcommittee recommended approval with a request that staff review and approve their suggested changes, including requiring a vegetative buffer when a residential or mixed -use project is adjacent to a single-family development. DSAC Recommendation: On June 7, 2023, the DSAC recommended approval of the LDC amendment, including the changes presented by staff, and contingent upon requiring 14-foot tall trees within the required buffers when a housing that is affordable project contains building heights greater than 40 feet and is adjacent to single-family 2 C:\Users\CormacGiblin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\OFU2LT6W\LDCA (04-12-2024) ORGINAL FORMAT CG MM Edits.docx Co ler County Growth Management Department residential. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS There are no anticipated fiscal or operational impacts to the County's stakeholders. There is a slight increase in the maintenance cost to Collier Area Transit for new bus stops associated with the TOD provisions, but they are anticipated to be minimal. GMP CONSISTENCY The proposed LDC amendment has been reviewed by Comprehensive Planning staff and may be deemed consistent with the GMP.

Commercial Professional and General Office District (C-1). The purpose and intent of the commercial professional and general office district C-1 is to allow a concentration of office type buildings and land uses that are most compatible with, and located near, residential areas. Most C-1 commercial, professional, and general office districts are contiguous to, or when within a PUD, will be placed in close proximity to residential areas, and, therefore, serve as a transitional zoning district between residential areas and higher intensity commercial zoning districts. The types of office uses permitted are those that do not have high traffic volumes throughout the day, which extend into the evening hours. They will have morning and evening short-term peak conditions. The market support for these office uses should be those with a localized basis of market support as opposed to office functions requiring inter -jurisdictional and regional market support. Because office functions have significant employment characteristics, which are compounded when aggregations occur, certain personal service uses shall be permitted, to provide a convenience to office -based employment. Such convenience commercial uses shall be made an integral part of an office building as opposed to the singular use of a building. Housing may also be a component of this district as provided for through the provisions for housing that is affordable or through conditional use approval or as a permitted use as housing that is affordable in commercial zoning districts in accordance with LDC sections 2.06.00 and 2.07.00. The maximum density Permissible Gr permitted in a district shall not exceed the density permitted „or le under the density rating system as provided in the Collier County Growth Management Plan (G ) or except as otherwise provided.

The purpose and intent of the commercial intermediate district (C-3) is to provide for a wider variety of goods and services intended for areas expected to receive a higher degree of automobile traffic. The type and variety of goods and services are those that provide an opportunity for comparison shopping, have a trade area consisting of several neighborhoods, and are preferably located at the intersection of two -arterial level streets.

The general commercial district (C-4) is intended to provide for those types of land uses that attract large segments of the population at the same time by virtue of scale, coupled with the type of activity. The purpose and intent of the C-4 district is to provide the opportunity for the most diverse types of commercial activities delivering goods and services, including entertainment and recreational attractions, at a larger scale than the C-1 through C-3 districts. As such, all of the uses permitted in the C-1 through C-3 districts are also permitted in the C-4 district. The outside storage of merchandise and equipment is prohibited, except to the extent that it is associated with the commercial activity conducted on -site such as, but not limited to, automobile sales, marine vessels, and the renting and leasing of equipment. Activity centers are suitable locations for the uses permitted by the C-4 district because most activity centers are located at the intersection of arterial roads. Therefore the uses in the C-4 district can most be sustained by the transportation network of major roads.

This section is intended to incentivize developments that provide a mix of housin affordability, including units that are affordable to gap-, moderate-, low-, or very -low- income levels through the use of bonus density bGnuses, which allows for an increase in the number of residential dwelling units per acre on property proposed for development, thereby decreasing the per unit cost of land and development. B. This objective is accomplished by implementing a Mixed -Income Housing Program, which consists of a commitment by an agreement or ordinance to provide for housing that is affordable. The purpose of the Program is to provide increased residential densities to developers who guarantee that all or a portion of their housing development will provide units that are affordable at gap-, moderate-, median-, low-, or very -low-income levels, thus expanding housing opportunities for households throughout the county, as specified in LDC section 4.02.38, LDC section 4.02.40, LDC section 4.02.41, and LDC section 4.02.42. 2.07.02 — Program Criteria The following conditions shall apply to all developments associated with the Mixed -Income Housing Program. A. Mixed -Income Housing Program Eligibility. 1. The rental price or sales price for all units desianated as Housina that is Affordable within the project must be affordable to households at income levels identified in the below chart to qualify for the allowable bonus density "wee outlined in LDC section 4.02.38, LDC section 4.02.40, LDC section 4.02.41, and LDC section 4.02.42: Income Level as a percent of Median Income 18 C:\Users\CormacGiblin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\OFU2LT6W\LDCA (04-12-2024) ORGINAL FORMAT CG MM Edits.docx 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 DRAFT Text underlined is new text to be added Text strikethre nh is GurreRt text to he deleted Gap >120 to <_140 Moderate >80 to 15120 Median >80 to :5100 Low >50 to :580 Ver YILOW <_50 2. At the time of application for the Development Order, the developer must identify the total number of housing units within the development and the total number of units that are affordable, categorized by level of income, type of unit (i.e., single- family or multifamily. owner-OCCUDied or rental). and number of bedrooms Der unit. 3. The ratio of the number of bedrooms per unit for housing that is affordable shall in general be equal to or greater than the number of bedrooms per unit for the market rate housing within an entire project. 4. The units that are affordable shall be intermixed with. and not seareaated from. the market rate units in the development. 5. In order to qualify for the densAy bonus density through the Mixed -Income Housing Program, the developer must comply with the provisions of this section and record a Mixed -Income Housing Commitment by agreement or ordinance. B. Mixed -Income Housing Commitment. The commtment to provide Housing that is Affordable through the Mixed -Income Housing Program will be by agreement or ordinance approved by the County Manager or designee and Attorney and shall include at a minimum, the following provisions: Units committed as affordable through the Mixed -Income Housing Program shall be affordable for 30 years from the initial date of sale or rent. 2.

In early 2017, the Urban Land Institute (ULI) performed a panel review of the housing situation in Collier County, resulting in the creation of a report titled A ULI Advisory Services Panel Report Collier County, Florida, January 29-February 3, 2017. The ULI Panel Report concluded "that Collier County absolutely has a housing affordability problem" and its recommendations centered upon six core strategies. Later, the Stakeholder Committee, Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, and staff developed a Community Housing Plan (CHP), which was accepted by the Board on October 25, 2017. 41 C:\Users\CormacGiblin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\OFU2LT6W\LDCA (04-12-2024) ORGINAL FORMAT CG MM Edits.docx Exhibit 6 — Excerpt of ULI Advisory Services Panel Report Implementation THL-PANFL IS IM RFIESSU WrFM L" plkwkq and s"Ttral hasefrtlr# taert wmpteTEd mWFg housing afradaWltx in ago G .nty.

The intent of this policy is to not penalize the tenant who met the initial income verification and through an incremental increase in income over time would no longer qualify within the percentage of AMI. Example: The tenant initially qualified for the 60-80% AMI affordable housing and over the duration of employment now exceeds the 80% AMI threshold. Rather than having this tenant no longer qualify for the affordable unit and have to either move out of the residence or begin paying market -rate rent, the tenant would be permitted to remain in the residence paying the rent at the 80% AMI level.

Two of the categories do not offer any discounted rent (there is an option for '/z off app and admin fees). The other two categories (50 and 80% of the median income) do offer discounted rent.

OBJECTIVE: To comply with section 420.9076, Florida Statutes, and provide an annual report that evaluates the implementation of affordable housing incentives in eleven (11) required areas. CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County, as a State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program recipient, must prepare an annual report that reviews established policies, procedures, ordinances, land development regulations, and the local Comprehensive Plan. At a minimum, the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) shall submit a report to the local governing body, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), that evaluates the implementation of the eleven (11) required affordable housing incentives required by statute. The report is a joint effort between Housing Policy and Economic Development staff, Community and Human Services Division (CHS) staff, and the AHAC. This required incentives strategies report was due to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) every three (3) years, until 2020 House Bill 1339 made this an annual requirement of the SHIP program. The eleven (11) incentives required to be reviewed are: 1. Expedited Permitting (for housing that is affordable) 2. Modification of Impact Fees 3. Flexible Densities 4. Reservation of Infrastructure Capacity 5. Parking and Setback Requirements 6. Accessory Dwelling Units 7. Flexible Lot Configurations 8. Modification of Street Requirements 9. Process of Ongoing Review (provisions that could impact housing affordability) 10. Public Land Inventory and 11. Development Near Transportation. The AHAC may also explore and report on other incentives as directed by the Board. The AHAC meets monthly and reviews the required eleven (11) incentives. Some of these eleven (11) required areas of incentives were addressed through the 2017 Collier County Community Housing Plan (CHP). Based upon the recommendations in the 2017 CHP, some of the required incentives are either recently completed or are in the process of being implemented or already reviewed and evaluated by County staff, the Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC), and forwarded to the Planning Commission and the BCC for review and approval. A draft SHIP Incentives Strategies Report was presented at a public hearing of AHAC on September 19 and October 17, 2023. An advertisement and summary of the SHIP Incentives Strategies Report and the AHAC meeting notice were published in the Naples Daily News on October 13 , 2023. In addition, the SHIP Incentives Strategies Report was also made available on the Collier County website. No public comments were received at the October 17, 2023, public hearing or before the meeting. The SHIP Incentives Strategies Report was reviewed and discussed by AHAC with unanimous approval to forward the report to the BCC for acceptance and submittal to FHFC. The BCC has ninety (90) days from the submittal of the SHIP Incentives Report to act on the recommendations and amend the Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) to include any new or amended incentives. 11 / 14/2023 FISCAL IMPACT: Costs associated with the SHIP Incentives Strategies Report include advertising fees of $329.28, along with staff time and resources for compiling the Report. Execution of this report will ensure that Collier County continues to participate in and receive future funding for the SHIP Program, which is budgeted in the SHIP Fund (1053). The SHIP Incentives Strategies Report outlined in the Report may assist in the development of future housing initiatives which may budgeted in the Affordable Workforce Housing Fund (1075). LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board action. -DDP GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program assists Collier County in addressing goals and objectives in the Housing Element of the Growth Management Plan.

Further, the AHAC has specifically considered and evaluated the strategies set out in Florida Statues, Sec. 420.9076 (4)(a)-(k). Based on this review and evaluation, the AHAC has formulated recommendations to the County Commission that it incorporate into its housing strategy certain changes designed to encourage production of affordable housing. The AHAC, from its review, consideration, evaluation, and recommendations, drafts and submits this report to the County Commission and to Florida Housing Finance Corporation, which details the scope of its work and the resulting recommendations. From the review and evaluation of the local government documents, the AHAC makes these recommendations to the County Commission that it incorporate into its housing strategy the following: RECOMMENDATION 1: Complete the Implementation and Adoption of four (4) Regulatory Relief Initiatives previously approved through the Collier County Community Housing Plan. These Initiatives include: (a) Permit housing that is affordable by right in Commercial Zoning Districts (b) Increase allowed density in Activity Centers from 16 units per acre (upa) to 25 upa (c) For any properties designated as Strategic Opportunity Sites (SOS) allow a maximum density of 25 upa (d) Establish a policy to encourage higher density along transit corridors. Meeting Synopsis: The County's Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) has reviewed various staff and consultant (Johnson Engineering) recommendations to provide development standards and regulatory relief for housing that is affordable.

RECOMMENDATION 4: AHAC recommends staff identify challenges and opportunities presented through the State's recent adopting of the Live Local Act (LLA), including: a) Identify parcels eligible for use with the Live Local Act. b) Identification of areas where the Live Local Act conflicts with existing local development regulations. c) Development of solutions to resolve these conflicts, while ensuring all life/safety regulations are appropriately adhered to and unintended detrimental impact is mitigated. d) Participate in a public forum with all stakeholders to brainstorm the issues developers are facing in relation to implementing the Live Local Act. Meeting Synopsis: The County's Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) determined a need to evaluate the Live Local Act (LLA). LLA offers certain benefits regarding maximum densities and building height within a one -mile radius, to developers who agree to abide by the 30- year affordability restriction and other requirements. AHAC requested a mapping of the commercial properties that would potentially fall under the LLA provisions. The LLA went into effect July 1, 2023, and since then, staff shared with AHAC observed difficulties developers are experiencing associated with implementation of the LLA. AHAC is working with staff to evaluate the impact and practicality of the LLA, as well as to identify what obstacles exist in our present codes that will hinder the use of LLA. Existing Strategy: Staff compiled and provided to AHAC during 2023 a map of all properties zoned commercial, industrial, and mixed -use eligible for LLA. The County and AHAC identified areas where the LLA benefits cannot be maximized due to conflicts with other existing regulations such as parking, setback, and street requirements. Schedule for Implementation: During the first quarter of 2024, AHAC will participate in a forum 2023 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 6 of 12 with all stakeholders to brainstorm the issues developers are facing in relation to implementing the LLA. On -going discussion in 2024 to include reviewing and evaluating proposed regulations and developments on a rolling and as requested basis. RECOMMENDATION 5: Use of Collier County Surtax Funding for Affordable Housing Land Acquisition, including the development and use of evaluation criteria for reviewing parcels and proposed developments. Meeting Synopsis: Ordinance 2018-21 imposed a countywide local government infrastructure surtax of one percent (1 %) (commonly referred to as the Surtax funds) collected on all authorized taxable transactions occurring within Collier County as authorized by F.S. 212.055(2). The tax was authorized to begin on January 1, 2019 and continue for a period of seven years or until the aggregate funds of $490 million were collected, whichever was sooner. Of the aggregate $490 million dollars, $20 million dollars is allocated for land acquisition specifically for affordable housing. In 2023 oversight of the Surtax Affordable Housing Land Acquisition program was transferred to the Growth Management and Community Development Department, and the Department engaged with AHAC to establish a process to expend the funding including creation of review criteria. In the first quarter of 2023, AHAC convened a sub -committee to draft criteria to be used in acquiring parcels though the utilization of the one percent surtax fund. These evaluation criteria were adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in March 2023 and the Infrastructure Surtax Citizen Oversight Committee in June 2023. An application for developers to request surtax funds was created in September 2023 by the Housing Policy and Economic Development Division. Existing Strategy: Evaluation criteria for acquiring lands using surtax funds was created in 2023 and is comprised of a multifaceted approach including reviews conducted by multiple divisions within the Growth Management and Community Development Department. An 2023 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 7 of 12 application review team was created including the following divisions within the Growth Management and Community Development Department: Housing Policy and Economic Development; Zoning; Development Review; and Coastal Resiliency and Community Development; Community and Human Services within the Public Services Department; and the Real Property Division and the Impact Fees Division within the County Manager's Office. The Surtax Fund sunset on December 31, 2023. Schedule for Implementation: On a rolling and as requested basis, the review team reviews and evaluates proposed developments. Proposed acquisitions are brought to the AHAC and the Surtax Oversight Committee for recommendations, and ultimately to the Board of County Commissioners for approval. Statute Required Incentives The AHAC has reviewed, considered, and evaluated the following required strategies provided in the SHIP Statute at Florida Statutes, Sec. 420.9076(4): (a) The processing of approvals of development orders or permits for affordable housing projects is expedited to a greater degree than other projects, as provided in s. 163.3177(6)(f)3. (b) All allowable fee waivers provided for the development or construction of affordable housing. (c) The allowance of flexibility in densities for affordable housing. (d) The reservation of infrastructure capacity for housing for very low-income persons, low- income persons, and moderate -income persons. (e) Affordable accessory residential units. (f) The reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing. (g) The allowance of flexible lot configurations, including zero -lot -line configurations for affordable housing. (h) The modification of street requirements for affordable housing. (i) The establishment of a process by which a local government considers, before adoption, policies, procedures, ordinances, regulations, or plan provisions that increase the cost of housing. (j) The preparation of a printed inventory of locally owned public lands suitable for affordable housing. (k) The support of development near transportation hubs and major employment centers and mixed -use developments. 420.9076(4)(a) EXPEDITED PERMITTING Meeting Synopsis: No meetings. Existing Strategy: Collier County has had an Expedited/Fast Track permitting process in place for housing that is affordable since 2007. Based upon AHAC and community stakeholders' input during the development of the 2017 Community Housing Plan (CHP), the Expedited Permitting 2023 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 8of12 process was reviewed and updated with the adoption of Resolution 2018-40 on February 27, 2018. AHAC Recommendation: Existing program and policies working as intended, no changes recommended at the present time. Schedule for Implementation: Resolution 2018-40 has been implemented and affordable housing developers have successfully utilized the improved process. 420.9076(4)(b) ALLOWABLE FEE WAIVERS Meeting Synopsis: Impact Fees were discussed during various meetings since 2023. Some members were aware of communities that base impact fees on the square footage of each home, thereby having a lower impact fee for housing that is affordable. Other members indicated that discounting impact fees would be helpful for reduction of the total cost of homes that are affordable. However, eliminating impact fees can led to a structure which does not provide enough revenue to provide the basic infrastructure necessary to cover the cost of streets, water, sewer, etc. Some believe that homes that are affordable should contribute to the infrastructure of the community. Other members have noted that the current Impact Fee Deferral system does not work well for affordable rental housing development and should be modified to better match the financing timeframes of Low -Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties and other affordable rental developments. Existing Strategy: Collier County has had an Impact Fee Deferral program in place for housing that is affordable since the late 1980s. Based upon recommendations from the 2017 Community Housing Plan, the Impact Fees Deferral program was modified and improved via Ordinance #2018-28 on February 27, 2018. AHAC Recommendation: In 2024, explore an Impact Fee Deferral Pilot Program utilizing approximately $4 million in American Rescue Plan funds received from the United States Treasury through the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to support long term affordable rental housing. Further, it is recommended that the County should review opportunities to increase the length of deferral period available for rental housing to align with various financing sources. Schedule for Implementation: Collier County Board of Commissioners approved $4,114,137 in funds under project CC4.4 in the American Recovery plan to support developments principally financed with Low -Income Housing Tax Credit Projects, Tax Exempt Bond Financing, or other qualifying affordable housing developments. In 2024, AHAC will consider rental housing developer needs related to the existing Impact Fee Deferral program. 2023 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 9 of 12 420.9076(4)(c) FLEXIBLE DENSITIES Meeting Synopsis: Densities have been discussed by AHAC since 2023. Many in Collier County have come to the realization that increased density is needed to produce more housing that is affordable. The Collier County Land Development Code has recently been amended to allow for greater density bonuses for affordable developments. Continued implementation of the Housing Plan recommendations will explore additional density opportunities. Existing Strategy: Throughout most of Collier County, residential zoning has a base density of 4 units per acre. Collier County has had an affordable housing density bonus program since 1990 Ord.#90-89. As a result of the 2017 Community Housing Plan and AHAC, Collier County amended its Land Development Code to increase density for units that are affordable through Ordinance #2019-02 adopted February 12, 2019. The Affordable Housing Density Bonus (AHDB) program now provides up to 16 units per acre. Applicants that have requested additional density above base residential zoning and which require a Growth Management Plan Amendment have been recommended by the Collier County Planning Commission and required by the Board of County Commissioners to set aside a minimum number of units in proposed developments to made affordable for a minimum of 30 years to households earning at or below 120% of the Area Median Income. This process has allowed for the approval of several hundred new affordable units this year alone. AHAC Recommendation: Recommend approval of the proposed regulatory relief initiatives to increase density in Collier County for Housing that is Affordable. AHAC further supports CPCC and Board policy that negotiates a public good for those applicants requesting density with a minimum of 30% of units developed be provided to households at or below 100% of the Area Median Income and encourages the development of a written policy formalizing this requirement. Schedule for Implementation: The proposed increases in density were heard by the Planning Commission and the BCC in the fourth quarter of 2023 and throughout 2024 on a requested basis. 420.9076(4)(d) RESERVATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITY Meeting Synopsis: Collier County does not reserve infrastructure capacity. Collier County is not experiencing any capacity limitations. Existing Strategy: Collier County does not need to reserve infrastructure capacity at this time. AHAC Recommendation: No changes recommended at the present time. Implementation: None 2023 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 10 of 12 420.9076(4)(e) PARKING AND SETBACK REQUIREMENTS Meeting Synopsis: These topics have been regularly discussed by AHAC since the development of the Community Housing Plan (CHP) in 2017. Existing Strategy: The County currently has two processes where developers can request a reduction of parking and setback requirements. Deviations from existing requirements can be requested through the Site Development Plan (SDP) process or the rezoning to Planned Unit Development (PUD) process. Recommendations to modify some setback requirements for housing that is affordable were included in Ordinance 2021-05 amending the Land Development Code, adopted February 9, 2021. AHAC Recommendation: The evaluation of the Live Local Act may require additional parking and setback relief for developments seeking to use benefits of the Act. Schedule for Implementation: On -going discussion in 2024. Reduction of parking and setback requirements are on a rolling and as requested basis. 420.9076(4)(f) AFFORDABLE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS Meeting Synopsis: Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) were discussed at multiple meetings since 2023 by AHAC members. In 2023 County staff were directed by the Board of County Commissioners to determine the feasibility of ADUs in the Urban Golden Gate Estates area. County staff are evaluating this option, developing a program to seek the input from area residents to see if residents are interested in building ADUs on their property, and determining how the ADUs would be incorporated into the LDC and monitored for affordability. AHAC and County staff discussed whether having income restrictions on the ADUs would be a benefit or hinderance to the program. County staff have developed survey questions to be sent to this pilot area of residents to seek their feedback. The date and location for public meetings are anticipated to occur in late 2023 with postcards announcing the request for feedback. Feedback and information will be collected and used to develop a recommendation for ADUs. Existing Strategy: Collier County does not allow for the rental of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) LDC Section 5. 03.03. The County only allows construction of "Guesthouses" on large single family lots of with a minimum lot size of 43,560 square feet. Furthermore, the LDC prohibits the rental of any guesthouse as they are to be used for personal reasons only. AHAC Recommendation: AHAC supports the efforts of County Staff and the Board of County Commissions (BCC) to determine whether ADUs would be accepted by residents and a meaningful source of additional attainable housing or a source that frees up other attainable housing units. AHAC encourages the County and BCC to fully explore this option and recognizes that feedback from residents is an important part of this issue. AHAC recommends allowing ADUs to be built on Urban Golden Gate Estates properties and recommends the use of ADUs as affordable housing to increase the affordable housing rental inventory. 2023 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 11 of 12 Schedule for Implementation: On -going discussion in 2024. 420.9076(4)(g) FLEXIBLE LOT CONFIGURATIONS Meeting Synopsis: This strategy was discussed extensively with the adoption of the 2017 Community Housing Plan. At that time, it was recommended that the County consider adopting some elements of "smart code". Through this process, amendments were made to the Land Development Code in February 2021 with the adoption of Ord. 2021- 05. Existing Strategy: Zero lot line development is allowed in Planned Unit Development (PUDs) and as a Conditional Use under Cluster Housing. Recently Ordinance 2021-05 clarified that Cluster Development of affordable housing does not require a Conditional Use in the RMF-6 Zoning District but is allowed by right. AHAC Recommendation: No changes recommended at the present time. Schedule for Implementation: None 420.9076(4)(h) MODIFICATION OF STREET REQUIREMENTS Meeting Synopsis: As part of the regulatory relief proposed in the 2017 Community Housing Plan, modifications to street requirements have been discussed in 2019-2021. Existing Strategy: Historically, street requirements for affordable housing developments are considered, on a case -by -case basis, as deviations in the PUD approval process or variances in the conventional zoning process. In February 2021, Ordinance 2021-05 added a new section to the LDC to allow design deviations for housing that is affordable, including modifications to internal, privately maintained roadways and sidewalks. AHAC Recommendation: No changes recommended at the present time. Schedule for Implementation: On -going discussion in 2024. Modification of street requirements are on a rolling and as requested basis. 420.9076(4)(i) PROCESS OF ONGOING REVIEW Meeting Synopsis: Previous AHAC discussions on this topic included the following comments: Ongoing implementation and enforcement for new processes and Land Development Code (LDC) regulation require permanent, dedicated County staff. Any changes made will require monitoring to ensure the rules continue to be followed. Monitoring uses resources both from the County and the developers. In addition, educating and promoting a favorable environment for developers and builders will draw more partners into working in the County. Closer coordination between growth management planning, zoning, development review, housing policy and economic development, and the Community & Human Services (CHS) is critical for the success of process changes and approval for developments. New coordination created will reduce or eliminate many of the 2023 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 12 of 12 repeated review cycles which are required today. Existing Strategy: Housing Policy responsibilities previously located within the Community & Human Services (CHS) Division under the Public Services Department was transitioned and elevated as its own division under the Growth Management Community Development Department (GMCDD) as the Housing Policy and Economic Development Division. This move enables closer collaboration and communication between housing policy staff and planners within areas such as zoning, comprehensive planning, and coastal resiliency. Long term monitoring will remain with CHS and CHS will remain included in and privy to affordable housing commitments drafted by the Housing Policy and Economic Development Division. AHAC Recommendation: No changes recommended at the present time. Schedule for Implementation: None 420.9076(4)0) PUBLIC LAND INVENTORY Meeting Synopsis: Public lands discussion has occurred regularly at AHAC meetings since 2018. In 2023, AHAC members reviewed the list of County Owned lands. Existing Strategy: The County's Real Property office maintains a list of county owned properties as required by F.S. 125.379. This inventory is circulated to County Departments for review and determination if properties are needed to implement Department operations or program mandates. Available properties are presented to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) and advertised for sale in the local newspaper. The BCC adopted Resolution 2018-39 to encourage the co -location of public facilities and housing that is affordable. In 2018, two County owned parcels known as Bembridge, and Manatee were part of a Request for Information (RFI) process with multiple developers submitting proposals for the development of the 5-acre Bembridge site. In 2019, through an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) process, the County selected McDowell Housing Partners to construct 82 units of affordable rental housing. This project, formerly known as The Harmony, now called Ekos on Santa Barbara, will be completed in late 2023 and is governed by a Developer Agreement with a 99-year ground lease ensuring long term affordability. During 2018-2019, the BCC decided not to move forward with proposals for the Manatee site. In 2019, the County acquired the defunct Golden Gate Golf Course. In 2020 through an ITN process, the County selected Rural Neighborhoods, Inc to develop a portion (25+ acres) of this publicly owned property for affordable rental housing for seniors, veterans, and Essential Service Personnel (ESP). AHAC discussed during various meetings in 2023 the need for a clearer policy and procedures on the sale or transfer of public lands with greater public transparency. AHAC Recommendation: AHAC recommends an annual review of the County Owned lands 2023 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 13 of 12 list. AHAC recommends promotion and advertisement of the County Owned lands eligible for constructing affordable housing to developers such as the Manatee property and the Port of the Islands property. Schedule for Implementation: Annual review of County Owned lands list was implemented. Promotion and advertisement of the County Owned lands eligible for construction of affordable housing to developers was implemented and is on -going. 420.9076(4)(k) SUPPORT OF DEVELOPMENT NEAR TRANSPORTATION HUBS Meeting Synopsis: Discussed during the spring and summer of 2021 as part of the Community Housing Plan, regulatory relief, and development standards modifications to the Land Development Code (LDC). Existing Strategy: This issue was reviewed during the development of the 2017 Community Housing Plan (CHP) with recommendations for the County to consider integration of bus routes (Collier Area Transit, CAT) with affordable housing locations, development of Strategic Opportunity Sites and higher housing densities in existing Activity Centers. AHAC Recommendation: Approve the recommended new policy for the Transportation Element to prioritize higher density along transit corridors ranging from 13 units per acre (upa) to 25 upa. Schedule for Implementation: This recommendation was heard and recommended of adoption by the Planning Commission on October 5, 2023, and scheduled for presentation to the Board of County Commissioners during the fourth quarter of 2023. 2023 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 14 of 12 Collier County Affordable Housing Data *updated May 2024* NEED: 51,638 households in Collier County are Cost -burdened (spend more than 30% of their income on housing expenses); they are currently living here UN -affordably Source: University of Florida Shimberg Center for Housing Studies and The Bureau of Economic and Business Research, 2022 Nearly half of those (25,687 households) are Severely Cost -burdened (meaning they spend more than 50% of their income on housing expenses) Source: University of Florida Shimberg Center for Housing Studies and The Bureau of Economic and Business Research, 2021 51,196 people commute to work every day from outside of Collier County: Almost 30% are now coming from East Coast Counties Source: FGCU Lutgert College of Business Regional Economic Research Institute and Lightcast, 2022 Housing Affordability is the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce's #1 Public Policy Priority Source: Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce Website, 2023 The Collier County Community Foundation's 2023 Community Assessment Survey lists "The Cost of Housing and Controlling Housing Costs" as the #1 Priority with a 65% response rate (compared to 45% in 2018) Source: Collier County Community Foundation Community Assessment, Richard M.
