Development Review Division- [Jamie Cook] LDC amendments for the subdivision plot process with the new state legislation were passed by the board at their last meeting, it is officially in effect. Working on an updated application that will be on the website shortly. Will be down one utility inspector. b. Code Enforcement Division- [Thomas landimarino] Contractor licensing, state -licensed contractors, and local licensed contractors are all caught up. Interviewing, continuing to restaff. c. Community Planning & Resiliency Division - [Christopher Mason] N/A d. Building Review & Permitting Division - [Richard Long] Update on 3,359 permits. FEMA runs about 28 days, Structural runs about 14 days, Residential 7 days. We've created a certificate of use permit for change of use or occupancy. The certificate of use, we're going to have an inspection involved in it. Both fire districts already have their own system for this type of permit, so we'll need the fire compliance certificate that they issue, not requiring signed and sealed drawings. Permits run about $165 plus tax, $50 review, and $50 inspection. The current process is a little clunky and then finding out it's not making any changes we then do an owner - builder permit. All are now connected, building, fire, and tax. e. Public Utilities Department- [Matt McLean or designee - Claudia Vargas] We've been back to a 10-day business turnaround. We would also like to request a vote to appoint a vice chair for our utility subcommittee. Mario Valle was voted in to be Vice Chair of the Subcommittee for Utilities. f. Housing Policy & Economic Development Division - [Cormac Giblin] This month the Board of County Commissioners has approved 123 new affordable housing units to be built through their zoning actions, which brings the total approved for fiscal year 24 which just ended three days ago to 492 new affordable units zoned in that year. I rarely talk about any economic development activities, but I'll give you this one this month we paid our third payment to the Great Wolf Lodge of $4 million, they completed their construction, and received their TCO, which was a trigger for that payment, which brings our fiscal year to date total in economic development assistance payments to about $7.2 million that we disbursed this fiscal year. This month 600 jobs have been created and validated and fiscal year to date that's about 2,067 jobs, some quick statistics on housing policy and economic development. Robert Mulhere - "I saw an article recently that the number of apartments in Collier County is increasing to the point where the supply may be either meeting demand or exceeding demand. Do you have any insight on that?" "I can tell you that anecdotally, the number of multi -family approvals has increased over the past several years, couple few years. A lot of them have been including a portion of affordable units within them. So, you have a luxury apartment complex that has normal market -rate apartments of $3,000 to $4,000 a unit. will include a certain percentage of affordable units within that, which would go for maybe 2,000 or 1,700. The statistics, though, from the University of Florida Schoenberg Center still show a very deep need for more affordability in our multifamily apartment sector." g. Transportation Engineering Division - [Jay Ahmad or designee] Project 1-Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Phase 1, doing really well and moving ahead about on schedule. Roadway that starts at Collier, goes east for about seven miles, three lanes in each direction, up to Wilson, and goes two lanes to 16th, one lane in each direction. We are on track for completion in March 2026. Project 2-Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Phase 2, starts where we end at 16th, and it goes for approximately two miles to Everglades Boulevard. It's one lane in each direction, similar to the section just to the west. Project 3-Goodland Bridge, we were hoping to start in December and start repairing this bridge. William Varian - "Did I see a sign on Green `Blvd' about something going up? Is that under transportation? So, no new lanes or anything like that?" Yes, it is. We are doing shoulder improvements, long green from Collier to Santa Barbara, roughly, and includes about, you know, it's a grant project to do shoulder improvements. No lanes, yeah, it's just... I think about a six-foot shoulder inside. h. Collier County Fire Review- [Michael Cruz, Captain] Chief Wolf has now been appointed our chief. Deputy Chief Bauer now been with us for a couple months. Chief McLaughlin just retired a couple days ago. So, Chief s Stirns is taking his role as an Assistant Chief for facilities. We're hiring for additional inspectors Our inspection is going according to plan, and we had a great meeting with Costco. Going to go into the corner right now, prospectively on Rattlesnake and Collier. We have apartments going up everywhere from Santa Barbara on. And now we're reaching out into the East Trail by 7-Eleven. So, there's some future projects going out there. William Varian - From an inspection point of view, next day or are you still a couple of days out? We're about 48 hours out now for our inspections. Prevention Day October 12th at Coastland Mall i. North Collier Fire Review - [Cpt. Bryan Horbal] We had 733 reviews in the month of September just for reconstruction. Slow month for inspections, 1,077 inspections. Next day inspections Regular new construction is 4 days out Planning permits are 7 days out and had 62 this month. j. Operations & Regulatory Mgmt. Division - [Michael Stark] The department receives 3,717 permit applications with a year-to-date total of 49,703 This is the end of our fiscal year, so we're actually only down about 1.8% from last year. 186 of these permits were for Hurricane Ian. The average turnaround time for intake staff is 1.5 days. We welcomed 1,221 customers to our business center and satellite offices and staff has answered 5,993 calls in our call center. Growth Management currently employs 341 employees with 32 vacancies. Our newly formed human resources team led by Stephanie and Sandra continues their efforts to recruit for multiple job classifications, and this includes 10 new positions for code enforcement. The team continues to focus on any possibilities for finding staff at this point. We do have an update really quick on the text message deployment, which is set for October 18th and 19th, we do have a sprint and our technology team is in the works for Trying to recruit from all over the building to make sure that it's a successful deployment as well. Staff has also been working with a consultant, so Mike Losey as well as Jamie Cook and myself have been working with a consultant to take a look at internal processes as well as developing efficiencies through zoning and planning and develop a review process. That has to do with making sure we have consistency internally and then taking a look at opportunities with the pre -application meetings, looking at any delays that were caused in the past, documenting those, taking a look at new forms, some other things that are kind of happening as a part of that. We've updated some of these internal forms. As of October 1 st, we do have a change to the EPR form. Chris Mason wasn't here today but I just want to give a quick update for the community planning and resiliency team with last week's storm events our rapid response teams including Chris Mason, William Lang, Jason Regular, and Kevin Summers as well as many others throughout the building ended up responding to the event to make sure that we were doing the rapid assessment throughout the county for any flooding events and damage assessment as well. That really is about all the different updates that I have for you as well. We have started the new fiscal year. So, we've been, our financial team has really been working diligently. They had 91 purchase requisitions in yesterday with about $8.3 million already allocated throughout the building. So, purchase orders are moving forward. That's about all the updates I have for you. Jeff Curl- "In your study among, I guess, the three of you, how are you going to flush out delays that may not be direct through those departments?" I think it really comes down to what were some of the highest priorities. I know that from our perspective, it was talking to many of our customers, including you as well, to hear back. Pre-apps were taking anywhere around... sometimes up to 60 days, 30 to 60 days to even get scheduled. And so, we're working with the consultant on the beginning part of the process and then moving through as far as standardization of forms, training opportunities. I think a big part to this is making sure that we and we take a look at the internal processes, how it moves forward as you were talking through with Rich as well, that is this truly needed? And so maybe it's the consultant that we had, they were really good about 121-page document of everything that we were walking through. So, you're right, not everything is going to get flushed out of this, but maybe it is an opportunity for us to share some of those findings with the team here as well. just to see if these are the same things that you're seeing as a customer. A lot of these vacancies were caused by internal promotions So, it's something where we've got some repeat high school interns that are coming back as graduate interns as well. Mike and I and Jamie, we talked about this. Sometimes there's not a degree program that exists, whether it's Florida Gulf Coast University or others that, you know, it says the planning degree, I think, was one of the ones that's really not offered in our local. I mean, and so some of those same functions, though, from maybe a project manager side, you know, that we need to take a look at, and train internally is an important part of this. They are looking at those opportunities but you're right I mean it's a small talent pool that already exists government pays what it does so we have to figure out a better way that we're going to be some other recruiting tools that we can utilize you know benefits maybe not high on the list of things but if we could take a look at leveraging the housing where you know maybe all teenagers you know even my own, they want to get out of the house. Can we create that type of environment? I think Arthrex is looking at a similar situation where they're already creating housing for their employees. So is that something also that we have to look at for something else in the HR world as a tour of duty. We're recruiting from across the nation that maybe it's a one year where we can guarantee them some housing and a part of this. Just some ideas. k. Zoning Division - [Mike Bosi] Costco is a prime example of what we're trying to do. Trying to do short trip lanes. We're trying to shorten the trip length by placing neat facilities that households exert on a regular basis in closer proximity to where those households are. When you have one Costco and it's in the north side of town, all these folks have to drive from all these other places to go there. So yeah, at that one localized intersection, which is an activity center, so those activity centers are the most intense areas designed by our growth management plan within our transportation network. Land use arrangement, it would expect the highest intensity of density and the highest intensity of commercial use or non- commercial use. So that is the location. I do agree, it creates some operational issues. That's why we have operational analysis, trying to do turn lanes, things like that. I think once it's in, everyone's going to love it. It's going to create some more activity. It's going to shorten trip lengths. On the 24th of September, the Board of County Commissioners approved another project, a multi -family project, a unique project, a vertical apartment complex, Duplexes, single stories, all in a single parcel of land, all managed by a single entity, but the rentals. And the 30% were dedicated to affordable housing, so we're going to have 62 additional income restrictions. A total of 310 that's going to add to your supply and hopefully we start seeing these projects continue to come out of the ground and the supply and demand factor starts to work and starts putting more of a downward pressure in terms of what the rents we're getting. We've got three vacancies right now within our department. Planning Commission on the 17th, the Board of County Commissioners on the first meeting in December, the only meeting in December, the meeting in November. outlook for the Planning Commission, we've got one meeting, or we've got one, we just canceled the third, which is tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow. And the 17th, we only have one petition. We have five petitions on the first meeting of November, and then we have zero petitions all the way out right now until January. We've got a little lag that's going on. I'm not sure why that is, but we have this tendency that February, March, and April tend to stack up pretty heavy for our seasonal residents. Chair Bill Varian asked to go back to item 3b. DSAC-LDR Meeting minutes for May 21, 2024. DSAC-LDR Chair Clay Brooker asked for a vote to approve the minutes. Jeff Curl Made a motion to approve the minutes. Mark McLean seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 6. New Business N/A 7. Old Business • N/A 8. Committee Member Comments • There are five of us, we talked last month about they're up for renewal. Four of us have already submitted. • Marco Espinar • Two Updates: Everything's back to the Corps. • New bond at that consultation protocol, consultation stayed the same. Collier County added two new layers: Ad HOC and Assume Habitat basically all of Florida Counties covered. North, Lee County, Charlotte County. But that's half of it right there, but basically, the bottom line is everybody's going to be paying money. $4,800 per acre, could be as high as $7,800 per acre for the plant. Physically surveying, with 3D survey, as of now it's more of an acoustic survey. Pick-ups sonar detection, and basically, it's like a reporter. It records it, and then the program, every batch has its own batch frequency, and it deciphers every batch. 9. Adjourn There being no further business for the good of the County, the meeting was adjourned by the order of the chairman at 4:13 p.m. COLLIER COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ADVISORY COMMITTEE William Varian, Chairman These minutes were approved by the Committee/Chairman on (check one) as submitted or as amended Collier County October 2024 Code Enforcement .�to,�thcy Stattsctcs 10/2024 Growth Management Community Development Department Code Enforcement Reports Cases Opened Per Month 800 700 600 500 400 • 300 • 200 100 0 ON ZN ON MN LL 2N QN 2N 'N nN Code Inspections Per Month 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 Q N fn N VN ON ON RN ON ON O'N MN ON 7N ON dN O Z 0 LL 2 Q E Q fA Code Enforcement Reports 5000 4500 4000 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 Origin of Case 2023 3 ■ Code Investigator initiated cases by FY Complaint initiated Cases by FY 2024 CRA Case Opened Monthly ■ Monthly Case Opened ■ Total Cases Opened Bayshore Immokalee Code Enforcement Reports September 22, 2024 — October 21, 2024 Highlights • Cases opened: • Cases closed due to voluntary compliance: • Property inspections: Lien searches requested: Parking Enforcement, 11 Top 15 Code Cases by Category Right of Way, 26 Property Maintenance, 68 Nuisance Abatement, 79 Occupational Licensing, 8 Noise, 8 Signs, 8 IrSite Development, 112 / aft.

Golden Gate Estates zoned lots. LDC amendments are reviewed by the Board, Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC), Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC), and the Land Development Review Subcommittee of the DSAC (DSAC-LDR). LDC SECTION TO BE AMENDED 2.03.01 Agricultural Districts 5.03.03 Guesthouses ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS DSAC TBD CCPC TBD BACKGROUND: The provisions for guesthouses were first adopted in 1974 when the Coastal Planning Area District regulations were established. This ordinance defined them as an "accessory dwelling unit," which was to be "used exclusively for the non-commercial accommodation of friends or relatives of the occupant or owner of the principal dwelling." In 1976, the provisions were clarified to prohibit the leasing or renting of a guest accommodation facility and to allow one guest house to be a permitted accessory use in both the Agricultural (A) and Estates (E) zoning districts. Since then, the guesthouse provisions have been amended from time to time, but the prohibition of renting them has remained. On February 14, 2023, the Board discussed an item sponsored by Commissioner McDaniel that sought to amend the LDC to the allow the rental of guesthouses. During the presentation, Commissioner McDaniel suggested that the rental of guesthouses should be restricted to homesteaded properties located in the urban Estates —the rationale of the restriction being that on -site landlords do a good job of managing the actions of their tenants. The Board members further discussed the prospect of the amending the LDC but later agreed that Commissioner Hall should first discuss the matter with the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) before the Board gives direction to staff. On May 15, 2023, staff presented the prospect of guesthouse rentals within the Urban Golden Gate Estates to the AHAC. The AHAC supported looking at the rental of guesthouses as a possible solution to the affordable housing shortage within the County. The motion recognized that it was the desire of AHAC to increase supply and to allow this in the Urban Estates. It also was their desire to recommend exploring guesthouse rental for the Rural Estates. Finally, the program should be offered to homesteaded properties (and that the exemption would remain) and that it should be kept at market -rate rents. The AHAC wanted staff to provide the Board with the rent -ranges and the percentage of homesteaded properties out of the 3,559 targeted properties. On May 14, 2024, the Board discussed Item 1 LA. under the County Manager's Report, which was a recommendation to provide staff direction on the Board's request for staff to gather input on the community's desire to allow for the legal renting of guesthouses within the urban Estates Zoning District, based upon the conclusions provided for within the Guesthouse Rental White Paper. By a vote of 4-1, the Board directed staff to move forward with an LDC amendment with the provision in writing of the one-year revisit and a specific report from Code Enforcement. The provisions for the Density Rating System in the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth G:\LDC Amend ments\Adviso ry Boards and Public Hearing s\DSAC\2024\1 1-06\Materials\PL20240009067 Guesthouse Rentals LDCA (10-30- 2024).docx ,e Collier County Management Plan GMP recognizes that guesthouses are considered accessory dwellings and are not counted toward density. However, the Density Rating System in the FLUE is only applicable to certain geographic areas of the County and yields to either the Immokalee Area Master Plan or Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP), where applicable, in matters of density and application. The geographic area encompassed by this LDC amendment is located within the jurisdiction of the GMP but with a majority of the lots located within the GGAMP, specifically the Urban Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element (see Exhibit A). According to the Estates Designation of the Urban Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element of the GGAMP, this designation is characterized by low density semi -rural residential lots within limited opportunities for other land uses. Typical lots are 2.25 acres; however, there are some legal non -conforming lots as small as 1.14 acres. Residential density is limited to a maximum of one unit per 2.25 gross acres, or one unit per legal non -conforming lot of record, exclusive of guesthouses. Multiple family dwelling units, duplexes, and other structures containing two or more principal dwellings are prohibited in all Districts and Subdistricts in the Estates Designation. The density exclusion for guesthouses is also provided for in the Residential Estates Subdistrict of the Estates — Mixed Use District. Since the Urban Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element is silent with respect to the rental of guesthouses, no GMP amendment will be necessary or required to amend the LDC to allow guesthouse rentals in the Estates zoning district. Transportation Planning staff reviewed the proposed Amendment and anticipates that there will be minimal impacts on the road network based on the following findings: • There are a limited number of parcels effected by the amendment. • The Urban Subdistrict contains an established road network with major north -south and east -west arterials and collectors. • Traffic impacts resulting from the rental units should more widely be distributed within the subdistrict compared to traditional PUD developments with single point trip impacts. • There is a reasonable network of interconnected local -neighborhood roads providing alternative routes. • There are numerous goods/services/employment opportunities adjacent to this subdistrict area to reduce trip lengths on the network compared to longer rural commuter -residential trips. The DSAC-LDR recommended approval of the amendment on October 15, 2024. However, two noteworthy changes were made since the hearing. The first change was to incorporate a sunsetting clause of five years. The second change was to specify a minimum duration of nine month for any lease agreement between a lessor and lessee of the guesthouse. A minimum duration will help to ensure the guesthouses will not be used for short-term lodging but to remain as part of the County's housing supply, to indirectly_ promote the goal of addressing the affordable housing problem. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS GMP CONSISTENCY There are no anticipated fiscal impacts to the The proposed LDC amendment has been reviewed by County, except for the cost of advertising an Comprehensive Planning staff and may be deemed ordinance amending the LDC, which is consistent with the GGAMP. estimated $50.00. Funds are available within the Unincorporated Area General Fund (1011) and Zoning & Land Development Cost Center (138319). Property owners who wish to rent their guesthouse will bear the cost of a registration fee, which is anticipated to be $50 from Zoning and any fee that is typically charged for the Business Tax Receipt.

Rural Agricultural District (A). The purpose and intent of the rural agricultural district (A) is to provide lands for agricultural, pastoral, and rural land uses by accommodating traditional agricultural, agricultural related activities and facilities, support facilities related to agricultural needs, and conservation uses. Uses that are generally considered compatible to agricultural uses that would not endanger or damage the agricultural, environmental, potable water, or wildlife resources of the County, are permissible as conditional uses in the A district. The A district corresponds to and implements the Agricultural/Rural land use designation on the future land use map of the Collier County GMP, and in some instances, may occur in the designated urban area. The maximum density permissible in the rural agricultural district within the urban mixed use district shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained in the future land use element of the GMP. The maximum density permissible or permitted in A district shall not exceed the density permissible under the density rating system. The maximum density permissible in the A district within the agricultural/rural district of the future land use element of the Collier County GMP shall be consistent with and not exceed the density permissible or permitted under the agricultural/rural district of the future land use element. 1.

If the principal dwelling a main residence is leased or rented, a guest accommodation facility accessory to it may not be occupied by the property owner, since that would constitute the unlawful utilization of single-family zoned property for two-family dwelling purposes.

The maximum floor area shall be forty (40) percent of the air-conditioned, enclosed living area (excluding garages, carports, patios, porches, utility areas, and the like) of the principal dwelling. 4. Detached guest-houses shall not be closer than twenty (20) feet to the principal dwelling. E. A guesthouse may be constructed prior to a principal dwelling, provided the guest house meets the minimum requirements of a single-family residence in the district in which it is being constructed. At such time as a principal residence is constructed, then the floor area percentages listed above shall apply. F. The leasing or renting of a guesthouse shall be prohibited unless the following requirements are met: 1. The subject property is located within the Estates (E) zoning district west of Collier Bnulevard. 2. The subject property is owner -occupied where the landlord, as defined by Florida Statutes section 83.43, makes permanent residence within the principal dwelling and to whom a homestead exemDtion. as defined in Florida Statutes section 196.031, has been granted and continues or remains. 3. If the ProDerty Appraiser determines the landlord is no lonaer eliaible. entitled. or _qualified to receive the homestead exemption, the continued leasing or renting of the questhouse shall constitute an unlawful utilization of the questhouse, effective upon the date when the Property Appraiser provides written notification via certified letter of the denial of the homestead exemDtion. 4. The questhouse must contain sleeping facilities, a bathroom, and a kitchen. 5. A minimum of one off-street parking space shall be required for each questhouse permitted under this subsection. 6.

I requested this information and was sent a link to Building Permit Reports. Does anyone have this information? If not, how do I go about getting th is? 2) The consultant, Agnoli, Barber & Brundage, Inc. stated in their May 5, 2023 memorandum that there are "many nuances to the impacts a rented guest house would have on the taxable value of a property," a. On Homesteaded Properties — the guest house structure is lessed out of the assessed value of the Homestead portion and then assessed separately as a non -homestead structure. This would subject the non -assessed portion to a 10% cap on property taxes (instead of 3%), plus in my opinion it also removes the structure from the homestead liability protection. Homestead protection is a fundamental property right and removing that protection, can subject the non -homestead structure to judgment creditors. This may be an unintended consequence and should be addressed prior to implementing this program. b. If the property owner decides to discontinue renting the guest house, then the guest house structure will be reassessed at the current market value, which will be higher than the original assessed value before renting the guest house. Resulting in an increase in taxes. (Which, if the house has been homesteaded for a significant portion of time, can be unduly burdensome increased cost on the property owner). c. If the property appraiser can prove that the guest house has been historically rented, then the property owner can be P©acl< chargerc�9 to �I�ecoup ta)�es not paid�►L the non= homesteaded valuations, d. Tax collector �ivould collect taxes on west houses rented for six (6) months or less. These short term rentals would also require a Business Tars License, sales taxes and Tourist Development Taxes.

The guest house mould be reclassified as an investment property, which can affect mortgages, homeowners insurance, federal income tax, business registration and taxes, and potential annual inspections, b. water/Sewer/Septic/Well Issues. Guest houses are typically sporadically used. Fulkime use will put a strain on wager, sewer, septic and well systems. Staff had advised AHAC that the Department of Health and DEP would need to look into whether the property owner would be required to add ac�Nditional septic systems or wells. wiNN this also have an adverse effect on those homes with County water and sewer?

The proposed program will mostAkely have Nittle effect on the housing shortage.

However, at that same meeting it was disclosed that there was inadequate staff available, due to current staff assignments at that tine acid a third mparty consultant was needed. From the materials D've reviewed, it appears there were expenses for the consultant and report, the online survey company, legal ads for the Public information Meetings, postcards for the PIM meetings, etc. That other costs are anticipated and if it will only add a couple dozen units to the housing inventory, do the costs outweigh the benefit?
