TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE NO. *Goals, Objective and Policies Objective 1 Objective 2 Objective 3 Objective 4 Objective 5 Objective 6 Objective 7 3 4 5 5 6 7 8 9 PLEASE NOTE: Regarding the format of this joint Housing Element: The Housing Element Goal and all the Objectives pertain to the entire County. The majority of all policies pertain to the entire County and are identified as JOINT CITY/COUNTY POLICIES. However, some policies pertain to only one jurisdiction and therefore are specially referenced as a CITY OF NAPLES POLICY or a COUNTY POLICY. Policies that are asterisked (*) are included for informational purposes only pursuant to Chapter 163. Policies identified as COUNTY POLICIES are not being adopted by the City of Naples. Policies identified as CITY POLICIES are not being adopted by Collier County. These policies are provided for informational purposes only. GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES GOAL 1: TO CREATE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF DECENT, SAFE, SANITARY, AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ALL RESIDENTS OF COLLIER COUNTY. OBJECTIVE 1: The number of new affordable housing units shall increase by 500 units each year in an effort to continue to meet the housing needs of all current and future very-low, Iow and moderate income residents of the County, including those households with special needs such as rural and farmworker housing in rural Collier County. JOINT CITY/COUNTY POLICIES Policy 1.1: Utilize intergovernmental agreements between the County and the City of Naples to coordinate SHIP, CDBG, and other State, Federal and private funds to improve coordination and efficiency in the provision of housing delivery assistance. Policy 1.2: Collier County and the City of Naples will work together to accomplish the community wide goal of creating a sufficient supply of market rate and below market rate housing. This effort will include consolidating the City and County housing programs and activities, including State and Federally funded programs such as SHIP and CDBG, in an effort to provide greater efficiency. Policy 1.3: The City and County will explore the development of a fair share affordable housing ordinance that will require commercial and residential developments to address the lack of affordable housing. The local jurisdiction will evaluate a broad range of options including the development of an affordable housing impact fee, the requirements that a percentage of units developed will be "set aside" for below market rate housing, provide for the transfer of development rights, an option whereby land could be donated to a nonprofit and/or placed in a land bank, or other alternatives that will assist in mitigating the rising need for affordable housing as the population increases. Policy 1.4: Affordable housing will be distributed equitably throughout the County using strategies which include, but are not limited to, density bonus agreements, and impact fee waivers or deferrals. In addition, affordable housing will be located where adequate infrastructure and services are available. CITY POLICIES None COUNTY POLICIES *Policy 1.5: Review the feasibility of incorporating the Collier County Housing Authority and the Collier County Housing and Urban Improvement office activities into one agency to provide greater coordination and efficiency in housing delivery services. OBJECTIVE 2: By 2000, create a non-profit housing development corporation, formed with a cross section of representatives from business, government, housing advocates, and the community at large, which will assist the City and County in achieving a new goal of 500 dwelling units per year for very-low, Iow and moderate income residents of Collier County. JOINT CITY/COUNTY POLICIES Policy 2.1: Increase the supply of housing for all segments of the community including very Iow, Iow and moderate income residents and those with special needs including farmworker housing, through the use of existing programs such as Iow income housing tax credits, density bonuses and impact fee waivers or deferrals. Policy 2.2: Solicit input from the Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development Council, Collier Building Industry Association (CBIA), Naples Area Board of Realtors, Naples Area Apartment Association, Collier County Banking Partnership, the Affordable Housing Commission, and the Collier County Housing Authority to identify potential nonprofit board representation and members, and to develop a mission statement for the non- profit housing agency. The non-profit housing development Corporation will partner with other entities to apply for State and Federal housing funds available to non-profit corporations. This effort will result in the development of a more comprehensive housing delivery system that ensures the development of housing for all residents of Collier County through a partnership with private developers, non-profits, local governments and other interested parties. Policy 2.3: The County and City staff will continue to provide community organizations with brochures and up-dates on various housing programs, grant opportunities, technical assistance and other information that will promote affordable housing opportunities for very iow, Iow and moderate income residents. Policy 2.4: By 1999, the County and the City will review existing codes and ordinances and amend as needed to allow for flexible and innovative residential design that encourages mixed use developments and variety of housing designs, styles, and price ranges. Policy 2.5: By 1998, the County and the City will review the existing permit processing systems in an effort to reduce the processing time and cost of housing, and especially for affordable housing, to identify areas that can be streamlined. Policy 2.6: Provide ongoing technical support and assistance to private developers and non-profit housing organizations in their efforts to secure State or Federal funding. Policy 2.7: Increase the utilization of existing impact fee ordinances to facilitate the development of affordable housing through the provisions of waivers and/or deferrals. CITY POLICIES *Policy 2.8: Provide financial, technical and support assistance to the residents of the Carver/River Park neighborhood through continued coordination with property owners, property managers and renters. COUNTY POLICIES *Policy 2.9: Review the County's Density Bonus Ordinance every two years to reflect changing community needs and market conditions. Encourage the blending of affordable housing density bonus units into market rate developments and review the feasibility of approving density bonus at an administrative level. *Policy 2.10: Through the adoption of local incentives, such as density bonus agreements and impact fee waiver/deferrals, public and private sponsors will be encouraged to provide adequate housing for rural residents and farmworker families. *Policy 2.11: The County Housing and Urban Improvement Department will coordinate with independent water and sewer districts to ensure that the necessary infrastructure and facilities for new housing developments are in place, and consistent with the County's Concurrency Management System. *Policy 2.12: The County will adopt and implement policies which address site locations for farm worker housing, including strategies such as density bonus agreements, impact fee waivers or deferrals, and adequate infrastructure and services. OBJECTIVE 3: By 2000, increase the number of housing programs and amount of funding available to promote the preservation and protection of existing, stable residential neighborhoods. This will be accomplished through the utilization of State Housing Incentives Partnership (SHIP) and CDBG programs including strategies such as Down Payment/Closing Cost Assistance, Rehabilitation and Emergency Repair, Demolition with New Construction, and Impact Fee Waivers or Deferrals. JOINT CITY/COUNTY POLICIES Policy 3.1: Utilize Federal, State and local resources for housing rehabilitation programs that repair and maintain the existing housing stock. Apply for additional funding such as, but not limited to, HOME and Florida Fix as funds become available.

Policy 3.3: Utilize SHIP resources and other funds to leverage the number and amount of loans provided by local lending institutions to very Iow, Iow and moderate income residents. By leveraging Federal, State and local dollars, increase by five percent (5%) per year the 5 number of loans made by area lending institutions to very Iow, Iow and moderate income residents for home improvements, rehabilitation and first time homebuyer's assistance.

By 2000, these changes will be reviewed to determine their effectiveness. *Policy 3.11: By 1999, the City will review the need for a housing maintenance code to address the conservation of housing stock and the preservation and protection of residential neighborhoods. COUNTY POLICIES Policy 3.12: Collier County will apply for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) urban entitlement county status through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development which will result in an annual allocation of federal funding available to assist very-low, Iow and moderate income households. OBJECTIVE 4: By 2000, the County and City will conduct a comprehensive housing survey to identify substandard dwelling units. Through continued enforcement of each jurisdictions housing codes, and the provision of housing programs, the number of substandard units associated with a lack of plumbing and/or kitchen facilities throughout the County shall be reduced by 5% per year through rehabilitation or demolition. JOINT CITY/COUNTY POLICIES Policy 4.1: By 2001, use the comprehensive housing inventory to develop and implement new programs to reduce substandard housing employing existing methods such as housing code inspections, rehabilitation, and demolition with new construction and develop new programs as needed.

Coordinate with other agencies that monitor and inspect mobile home parks. Create and incorporate into the Collier County Land Development Code, flexible development standards that will be based on minimum life and safety standards. Provide economic incentives to encourage the replacement of sub-standard units. (I) Policy 4.7: Within one year of inventory completion, the County shall complete a review of the residential density caps established in the Immokalee Area Master Plan to determine if and where it may be appropriate to increase such caps to encourage the development of new affordable housing units for farmworkers, very Iow and Iow income individuals. OBJECTIVE 5: Collier County and the City of Naples will annually monitor all identified historically significant structures to determine that these structures are being conserved, maintained, and/or rehabilitated. JOINT CITY/COUNTY POLICIES Policy 5.1: Ensure the coordination of the Housing Element policies with the Future Land Use policies relevant to historic preservation.

The location of these facilities will be in compliance with local land use regulations and consistent with Chapter 419, F.S. CITY POLICIES None COUNTY POLICIES None OBJECTIVE 7 Although mobile home parks currently exist within Collier County, as a result of the coastal community's susceptibility to flooding and storm surges, any new mobile home parks will be restricted to areas outside of the urban coastal fringe. JOINT CITY/COUNTY POLICIES None CITY POLICIES *Policy 7.1: The City formally recognized the existence of one mobile home park in the city limits through a Planned Development rezone process. This rezone process recognized that the Naples Mobile Home Park does provide affordable housing opportunities to those living in the 141 mobile homes and 31 recreational vehicle spaces within this complex. *Policy 7.2: Additional mobile home developments will not be permitted in the city limits due to the City's Iow elevation, susceptibility to flooding, storm surges and high winds in hurricane and tropical storms and that mobile homes are particularly vulnerable to damage. COUNTY POLICIES *Policy 7.3: The County has numerous sites where mobile homes are a permitted use and these sites will continue to be available for mobile home development. However, due to the Iow lying elevations, susceptibility to flooding, storm surges and high winds from hurricanes and tropical storms, and that mobile homes are particularly vulnerable to damage, no additional sites will be zoned for mobile home development within coastal Collier County. (I) OBJECTIVE 8 The number of new and rehabilitated units shall increase by 50 units per year to address those households with special needs such as rural and farmworker housing in rural Collier County. (i) Policy 8.1: The County will coordinate with the USDA and other State and Federal Agencies to provide technical and financial assistance, impact fee waivers and deferrals and increased density, consistent with the Immokalee Area Master Plan, for a 300 bed facility to provide housing for unaccompanied agribusiness workers. (I) Policy 8.2: The County will prepare a housing assessment of single family, multi-family, and mobile home units and mobile home parks in the Immokalee Urban Area to determine the number of units that do not meet health and safety codes and the minimum housing code and target affordable housing and code enforcement programs to correct the conditions. Policy 8.3: Funding for rehabilitation of both owner and rental units will be provided through USDA funding and State SHIP funding and leveraged with additional funding sources to the maximum degree possible. (I) Policy 8.4: Farmworker housing sites will be evaluated and selected to ensure that housing for this group is located in close proximity to such things as employment locations, transportation opportunities, shopping opportunities, and health care facilities. (I) Policy 8.5: Collier County will continue to make available all first-time homebuyer programs including SHIP, CDBG, and other State, Federal, and Private funds to Farmworkers through a multi-lingual marketing approach coordinated with local outreach services. The County anticipates that 50 farmworkers per year will become homeowners by implementing special outreach programs to encourage homeownership in the farmworker community. (I) Policy 8.6: When Collier County is awarded entitlement community status, CDBG funds will be used to provide additional farmworker-housing opportunities. In addition to housing units that currently qualify for assistance under SHIP program guidelines, special consideration of CDBG funds will be aimed at units that current SHIP program guidelines prohibit from assistance (i.e. mobile home units). Farmworkers will also be encouraged to take advantage of any other CDBG, SHIP, Local, State, Federal, and private programs through multi-lingual outreach programs to the farmworker community. 10
