The County has adopted the following guidelines to set forth the general requirements and procedures that apply to the financing of multifamily housing developments. The County may waive specific provisions of these guidelines where good cause is shown and adequate supporting documentation is provided. Any waiver is at the sole discretion of the County. In addition, these guidelines may be amended, revised, repealed, or otherwise altered by the County with or without notice. The County specifically welcomes requests for proposed alternative resident programs or development/unit features. All applications submitted will be reviewed by the County’s Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, which will make recommendations to the County Manager. The County Manager will then decide whether or not to support commitment letters and loans providing Local Government Support for developments applying for FHFC funding and who are seeking the Local Government Area of Opportunity Funding, pursuant to Resolution No. 2019-207.

The County reserves the right to impose additional requirements on any particular development. Compliance with these guidelines does not and shall not create any right by an applicant to a commitment or assurance that the County will provide the requested financing. The County provides local government support to assist in the construction, rehabilitation, and permanent financing of multifamily housing developments. The County anticipates sufficient funds to be available to fund one applicant. Page 56 of 842 The maximum amount of the Local Government Support loans that may be applied for pursuant to this Notice of Fund Availability (NOFA) is the amount that will allow local projects to score the maximum points or preference for the Local Government Area of Opportunity Funding.

The AHAC is responsible for reviewing and evaluating local plans, policies, procedures, land development regulations, the Comprehensive Plan, and other aspects of County housing activities that affect the production of affordable housing. Further, the AHAC is specifically directed by the SHIP Statute to consider and evaluate the implementation of the incentives set out in Florida Statutes, Sec. 420.9076 (4)(a)-(k). Based on the AHAC evaluation, it may recommend to local government that it make modifications of, exceptions to, or creation of new plans, policies, procedures, and other governing vehicles which would encourage production of affordable housing. As approved by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the recommendations are then used to amend the Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) and the local Comprehensive Plan Housing Element. COMMITTEE COMPOSITION The Board of County Commission appointed or re-appointed members to the Committee via Ordinance 2020-27 recognizing the requirement to appoint an elected official and, on January 09, 2024, appointed a new Board Elected Official.

Faron 11/08/2022 10/01/2025 Page 62 of 842 2024 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 3 of 16 AFFORDABLE HOUSING RECOMMENDATIONS The AHAC has reviewed local government plans, policies, procedures, ordinances, regulations, statutes, and the comprehensive plan, among other documents applicable to affordable housing, to evaluate their impacts on affordable housing. Further, the AHAC has specifically considered and evaluated the strategies set out in Florida Statutes, 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 following recommendations. (Recommendations continue on next page, this space intentionally left blank) Page 63 of 842 2024 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 4 of 16 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. AHAC has reviewed and provided input on four (4) additional initiatives during 2024 and will continue to work to bring forward development standards providing regulatory relief for housing that is affordable. At their May 2024 AHAC meeting, the text for the implementing Land Development Code (LDC) amendments was presented to the committee, and the committee voted to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve the LDC Amendments. Existing Strategy: Growth Management Plan amendments authorizing these four (4) initiatives were recommended for adoption by the Collier County Planning Commission on October 5, 2023, and the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on November 14, 2023. Schedule for Implementation: The Zoning Division is finalizing the LDC amendments to implement the recommended changes in these four (4) initiatives and preparing for hearings before the CCPC and BCC scheduled for Fall 2024. Page 64 of 842 2024 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 5 of 16 RECOMMENDATION 2: AHAC recommends the creation of a transparent, publicly accessible database with a corresponding GIS map to identify, locate, and provide data and long-term monitoring results for all housing that is affordable in Collier County. Meeting Synopsis: The County's Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) determined a need for citizens to locate information pertaining to affordable housing within Collier County. Existing Strategy: In 2023, staff compiled and verified a database of active, affordable housing commitments in Collier County. The database’s information was then presented in a visually concise map to the AHAC at their August meeting. Feedback from the AHAC meeting was incorporated and the final map brought back to AHAC. The map was then published on the county’s website. The Community and Human Services Division has also created a website repository for all affordable housing compliance monitoring reports, making them available for public viewing. Figure 1: The traffic count from 01/01/2024 through 09/25/2024 for the Affordable Housing webpage map located on the Housing Policy and Economic Development webpage. This information was pulled from the County’s traffic recording system Google Analytics. Schedule for Implementation: Ongoing annual review and update of the database’s information with corresponding updates to the affordable housing map is completed by staff. Planned enhancements to the map include more descriptive status symbols and identifying renter or owner-occupied developments. Page 65 of 842 2024 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 6 of 16 RECOMMENDATION 3: AHAC should take a greater role in advocacy efforts to review, recommend, and promote affordable housing issues and developments. Meeting Synopsis: The County's Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) determined a need to identify areas of action to facilitate the production of more housing that is affordable. Existing Strategy: AHAC formed a sub-committee to create the work plan with assistance from staff. 2023, the work plan was completed and brought to the AHAC for review and approval. That work plan has now been incorporated as a recommendation in the Housing Incentives Strategies Report. Schedule for Implementation: The AHAC will continue to review, recommend, and promote the development of affordable housing. On-going discussion in 2024 to include reviewing the SHIP Incentives Report at AHAC’s every other monthly meeting to assess progress and update associated timelines. On at least an annual basis, the AHAC will Review: • The number of newly completed and ongoing projects to build affordable housing in order to incorporate those findings into its future work plans. • Data containing the number of available and occupied rental units (“the Apartment Survey). • The impact of affordable housing projects that have been completed and are open; and make recommendations on any changes to plans, programs, policies, and incentives that will improve outcomes in the future. • Data containing the annual monitoring for developer compliance to commitments as completed by CHS and PUD Monitoring. AHAC will Recommend: • Approval of developments containing an affordable housing component in Collier County. • The consideration of policies, plans, and programs by the BCC that will encourage the development and preservation of affordable housing. Such as: o The Housing Plan LDC amendments. o RFMUD Affordable Housing Density Bonus program. o Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) Pilot Program • Proposed developer presentations to AHAC prior to CCPC and BCC. • LGAO Applicants to present proposals to AHAC • Consideration of impact fee policies to promote the construction of more affordable units. • Consideration of changes to parking requirements for affordable housing developments as directed by State Statute. Page 66 of 842 2024 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 7 of 16 AHAC will Promote: • Substantive and impactful policies and programs through active participation and engagement in the community. • Community support for projects under consideration at Neighborhood Information Meetings (NIMS). AHAC members will volunteer to participate in NIMS for developments related to affordable housing and report back to AHAC at the next meeting. • The understanding of local employer needs and plans for workforce housing. • The construction of workforce housing by positively engaging developers in official and unofficial communications. RECOMMENDATION 4: AHAC recommends staff identify challenges and opportunities presented through the State’s recent adoption 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) Develop 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. The AHAC generated the need and outsourced the coordination and hosting of a meeting to discuss the impact and practicality of the LLA and identify obstacles existing in the present codes that will hinder its use. Existing Strategy: Staff compiled and provided AHAC 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: AHAC supported a forum with all stakeholders to brainstorm the issues developers are facing in relation to implementing the LLA; a follow-up discussion ensued to further discuss the problem areas. On-going discussion in 2024 to include reviewing and evaluating proposed regulations and developments on a rolling and as-requested basis. Page 67 of 842 2024 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 8 of 16 On April 9, 2024, the BCC issued guidance to staff to interpret the Live Local Act to exclude PUDs from consideration. The result of this action is twofold, 1) Live Local may no longer be used within commercial areas of PUDs, and 2) the maximum density and height allowed through Live Local will be limited to only those allowed by straight zoning districts in the Land Development Code (i.e.: 25 units per acre maximum). The result of this guidance has made the Live Local Act less useful in Collier County. RECOMMENDATION 5: Continued 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 seven years or until the aggregate funds of $490 million were collected, whichever was sooner. Of the aggregate $490 million, $20 million is allocated for land acquisition specifically for affordable housing—the Surtax Fund sunset on December 31, 2023. 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. The Board of County Commissioners adopted these evaluation criteria in March 2023 and the Infrastructure Surtax Citizen Oversight Committee in June 2023. An application for developers to request surtax funds was created and released in September 2023 by the Housing Policy and Economic Development Division. Existing Strategy: Evaluation criteria for acquiring lands using surtax funds were created in 2023 and are comprised of a multifaceted approach, including reviews conducted by multiple divisions within the Growth Management and Community Development Department. On an as-needed basis, proposed acquisitions are brought to the AHAC and the Surtax Oversight Committee for recommendations and ultimately to the Board of County Commissioners for approval. Schedule for Implementation: At this point, land acquisition for two developments has been approved to use surtax funds: Renaissance Hall, located on the Golden Gate Golf Course ($4,605,900), and Ekos on Collier ($3,750,000). The BCC has also directed that an additional $5,950,000 in surtax funding be used in the Williams property Acquisition. Approximately $5,700,000 remains available for allocation in the land acquisition fund. Page 68 of 842 2024 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 9 of 16 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, low-income, 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) Preparing a printed inventory of locally owned public lands suitable for affordable housing. (k) The support of development near transportation hubs, 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 process was reviewed and updated with the adoption of Resolution 2018-40 on February 27, 2018. Schedule for Implementation: Resolution 2018-40 has been implemented, and affordable housing developers have successfully utilized the improved process. AHAC Recommendation: Existing programs and policies are working as intended; no changes are recommended at the present time. AHAC encourages State and Federal Government partners to implement expedited review permitting processes and the BCC to make expedited review Page 69 of 842 2024 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 10 of 16 permitting processes a legislative priority. 420.9076(4)(b) ALLOWABLE FEE WAIVERS Meeting Synopsis: Impact Fees have been 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 a reduction of the total cost of homes that are affordable. However, eliminating impact fees can lead to a structure that 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. The Impact Fee Deferral program granted 24 rental deferrals in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 year to date and 0 rental deferrals in FY 2023. Deferrals are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The aggregate amount of impact fee rental deferrals granted shall be limited, in total, to 225 units per fiscal year with no rollover of units. For FY 2023, Collier County issued Impact Fee Deferrals for 86 ownership units totaling $1,071,536.97. For FY 2024, Collier County issued Impact Fee Deferrals for 88 ownership units totaling $1,123,104.33. Schedule for Implementation: Collier County Board of Commissioners approved the use of grant funds as an alternative funding source 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. AHAC Recommendation: In 2025, explore an Impact Fee Deferral Pilot Program utilizing alternative funding sources to support long-term affordable rental housing. Further, it is recommended that the County should review opportunities to increase the length of the deferral period available for rental housing to align with various financing sources. Page 70 of 842 2024 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 11 of 16 420.9076(4)(c) FLEXIBLE DENSITIES Meeting Synopsis: AHAC has discussed densities 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 on February 12, 2019. The Affordable Housing Density Bonus (AHDB) program now provides up to 16 units per acre. Applicants who have requested additional density above base residential zoning and 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 that will be 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. 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. 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 to be provided to households at or below 100% of the Area Median Income (with emphasis on rental units at the 50% and 80%AMI levels) and encourages the development of a written policy formalizing this policy. Page 71 of 842 2024 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 12 of 16 420.9076(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. Implementation: None needed. AHAC Recommendation: No changes are recommended at the present time. 420.9076(4)(e) PARKING AND SETBACK REQUIREMENTS Meeting Synopsis: AHAC has regularly discussed these topics 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. Schedule for Implementation: On-going discussion in 2024. Reduction of parking and setback requirements are on an as- requested basis. AHAC Recommendation: In 2025, the AHAC will recommend practical application of The Live Local Act (LLA) for parcels not meeting parking and setback requirements. LLA may require additional parking and setback relief for developments in compliance with State Statute. 420.9076(4)(f) AFFORDABLE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS Meeting Synopsis: Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have been discussed at multiple meetings since 2023 by AHAC Page 72 of 842 2024 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 13 of 16 members. In 2023 County staff was 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 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 hindrance to the program. County staff conducted a pilot study of residents seeking feedback about ADUs, and the collected information will be used to develop a recommendation for ADUs. The County’s Land Development Code (LDC) Amendment staff has drafted amendments to allow for renting guest houses for properties that are zoned Estates and located west of Collier Boulevard. This modification will allow for properties that are homesteaded to participate in the Pilot program, which is proposed to run for 5 years from the date the Board approves the LDC amendments. Additionally, Staff will bring to the Board annually a report on the participation of the program to inform of its utilization and determination as to the possibility of transitioning the Pilot program to a permanent program. Currently, there are 3,558 parcels zoned Estates within the Urban Area, of which 400 have guest houses. If adopted by the Board as a Pilot Program, this would include existing ADUs and newly built 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 one acre or more. Furthermore, the LDC prohibits the rental of any guesthouse as they are to be used for personal reasons only. Schedule for Implementation: On-going discussion in 2024. 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 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 on a trial period to determine and assess feasibility. 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: Page 73 of 842 2024 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 14 of 16 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 is allowed by right in the RMF-6 Zoning District. Schedule for Implementation: None AHAC Recommendation: No changes are recommended at the present time. 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. Schedule for Implementation: On-going discussion in 2024. Modifications of street requirements are approved on an as-needed basis. AHAC Recommendation: In 2025, AHAC recommends evaluating the effectiveness of Ordinance 2021-05. 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 Page 74 of 842 2024 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 15 of 16 repeated review cycles. Existing Strategy: Housing Policy responsibilities previously located within the Community & Human Services (CHS) Division under the Public Services Department were 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. Schedule for Implementation: Ongoing AHAC Recommendation: No changes are recommended at the present time. 420.9076(4)(j) PUBLIC LAND INVENTORY Meeting Synopsis: Since 2018, AHAC meetings have regularly discussed public lands. 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 of whether 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, called Ekos, on Santa Barbara, opened in 2024 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 Page 75 of 842 2024 Collier County SHIP Housing Incentives Strategy Report Page 16 of 16 Personnel (ESP). A long-term land lease and developer agreement have been executed, and construction on 252 apartments and 120 senior housing units is expected to commence in the summer of 2024. Schedule for Implementation: An annual review of county-owned lands list has been implemented. Promotion and advertisement of the county-owned lands eligible for construction of affordable housing to developers is ongoing. Use of surtax funding to purchase new properties will assist in adding to the inventory. AHAC Recommendation: While an annual review of and frequent discussion about the county-owned lands list occurred in 2023 and 2024, AHAC recommends formalizing a process to include an evaluation of the properties by the County’s Real Property Division for the annual review of the county-owned surplus lands eligible for constructing affordable housing. AHAC also recommends promoting and advertising the surplus public inventory lands eligible for constructing affordable housing. 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. Schedule for Implementation: This recommendation was heard and recommended for 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. Implementing LDC amendments is scheduled for CCPC and BCC public hearings in the Fall of 2024. AHAC Recommendation: Approve the recommended LDC Amendments to prioritize higher density along transit corridors ranging from 13 units per acre (upa) to 25 upa. Page 76 of 842 11/12/2024 Item # 16.A.8 ID# 2024-1596 Executive Summary Recommendation to approve and submit the 2024 State Housing Initiatives Partnership Incentive Strategies Report to Florida Housing Finance Corporation and Florida Housing Coalition as required by section 420.9076, Florida Statutes. 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. This required incentives strategies report had been due to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) every three (3) years until, in 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. In addition to the required incentives, AHAC has made recommendations on the following five (5) additional topics: 1. AHAC requests the completion of the implementation and adoption of four (4) regulatory relief initiatives previously approved through the Collier County Community Housing Plan. 2. AHAC recommends the creation of a transparent publicly accessible database with a corresponding GIS map to identify, locate, and provide data and long-term monitoring results for all housing that is affordable in Collier County. 3. AHAC desires to take a greater role in advocacy efforts to review, recommend, and promote affordable housing issues and developments. 4. AHAC requests that staff identify challenges and opportunities presented through the State's recent adoption of the Live Local Act (LLA). 5. AHAC recommends the continued 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. The AHAC may also explore and report on other incentives as directed by the Board. The AHAC meets every other month and has reviewed the above-noted incentives. Some of these eleven (11) Page 77 of 842 11/12/2024 Item # 16.A.8 ID# 2024-1596 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 have already been 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 AHAC's public hearings on July 16 and September 19, 2024. On October 3, 2024, the Naples Daily News published an advertisement and summary of the report with notice of the November 19, 2024, AHAC meeting. In addition, the report was also made available on the Collier County website. No public comments were received at the public hearing or before the meeting. The SHIP Incentives Strategies Report was reviewed and discussed by AHAC on September 19, 2024, 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. FISCAL IMPACT: Costs associated with the SHIP Incentives Strategies Report, including advertising fees, in addition to 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). 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. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board approval. –DDP RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve and submit the 2024 State Housing Initiatives Partnership Incentive Strategies Report to Florida Housing Finance Corporation and Florida Housing Coalition as required by section 420.9076, Florida Statutes.
