Agenda 06/27/2017 Item #11F06/27/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to designate County-owned properties that are suitable for the development of
housing that is affordable and direct staff to explore public private partnerships on the designated
parcels for future approval.
OBJECTIVE: To provide housing that is affordable in Collier County and to further the goals set
forth in the Housing Element of the Growth Management Plan.
CONSIDERATIONS: On April 25, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) directed staff to
evaluate all available county-owned parcels of land (surplus or not) and rank them as to their suitability to
be used for the development of housing that is affordable regardless of intended use. Staff worked with
the Community Housing Plan Stakeholder Committee’s - Review of Publicly Owned Property
Subcommittee to complete its evaluation of these parcels. The criteria used in the evaluation included
location, current zoning, availability of roads and utility services, environmental factors, and any other
restrictions.
The following table prioritizes the BCC-owned parcels that the committee recommends identifying as
suitable for the development of housing that is affordable.

Meeting Notes
Collier County Community Housing Plan
Stakeholder Group- Land Trust Sub-Committee
Vetting of Collier County Public Land Inventory
Meeting 6/7/17
Reviewed, discussed and prioritized the top 9 parcels:
Parcel #1 – Bembridge PUD
5.11 acres
Immediate adjacent to an EMS station – land originally acquired for EOC
Site purchased by EMS with impact fees and they must be repaid. Public
Utilities has obtained a feasibility study dated January 27, 2017 for the
potential relocation of Master Pump Station 313
Public Utilities has funds to purchase
Site zoned mixed use/residential
In front of Calusa Park Elementary schools
Limited access off Santa Barbara – shared access with school and EMS
Located in a zoned activity band
Can develop up to 16 units/ ac under present zoning using the Housing
Density Bonus provisions of the LDC.
New Hope Ministry development south of the site is already at 16/acres.
They are developing 304 units on 19 acres.
Several proposals were made for affordable housing on this site 8-10 years
ago, which never manifested. Some local concern about traffic around the
school.
Parcel #2 – Bayshore CRA Site
17 acres – 10 Acres Developable due to wet lands and lakes on site
CRA issued a RFP for development proposals
Goal is for mixed use development including mixed income and tenure
housing in a variety of sizes, types and price points. Also to include
commercial retail and office uses.
Originally there was plans for a cultural component, but that has fallen
through
CAPA was planning a 300 seat theater but funding was not available. Does
not appear that this will be a use.
County has provided a grant to CRA to construct a path along the south
boundary of the site to link Bayshore Road with Sugden Park.
Site already has a PUD with a approval of a maximum of 260 affordable
housing units
Density of housing over 11 units/ac would require not only a PUD
amendment but a zoning amendment. Utilities exist.
11.F.1
Packet Pg. 509 Attachment: Public Lands review- Property Details 1-9 062017-1519 (3320 : Designate County owned properties that are suitable for the
Parcel #3 – Randall Curve Site
47.3 Acres
Portion of the site is wet lands
Land will revert back to Golden Gate Land Trust if not used for a public
benefit purpose as designated in the original trust deed.
Original plan for a park will not happen
Under consideration for use by the CCSB for a bus barn
Would need to modify trust agreement and get a release from the developer
Site has limited access, which will be made more difficult by the construction
of the fly over at the intersection.
Question is whether affordable housing would be considered a public benefit
use under the trust agreement
Would need a Growth Management Plan Amendment and rezoning for
residential.
Parcel #4 – Grey Oaks PUD Site:
21.7 Acres (Part of the Grey Oaks PUD)
Part of Livingston Road Expansion
300’ wide parcel with FPL high tension line running through it
Land is low and would require fill to develop
Power lines would need to be buried as well
Site preparation costs will be higher as a result of fill and FPL relocation
Would require a revision to the Grey Oaks PUD to incorporate affordable
housing even thought the property is zoned residential
Expect as serious NIMBY factor if affordable housing is proposed.
Land purchased with impact fees so it cannot be donated to the trust. Impact
fee amount must be repaid as per State Law. $15k on the books but that
might not be accurate.
Grey Oaks PUD had a affordable housing commitment but may have had a
sunset date. Kim Grant to check the PUD.
Parcel #5 – Future Manatee Community Park
59.3 Acres
1/3 has environmental impacts and wet lands to mitigate.
Previous site development plan and permitting completed.
No date or funding planned for park development
Next door to Fiddler’s Creek
Manatee Elementary and Middle Schools are adjacent to the parcel. Also
CCSB owns 19 acres of land adjacent the school that it calls their “bone yard”
Would need a zoning amendment and a GMP amendment of density over
11units/ac.

Packet Pg. 510 Attachment: Public Lands review- Property Details 1-9 062017-1519 (3320 : Designate County owned properties that are suitable for the
Potential for carving out a section for housing but would need to adjust the
level of use for the park or purchase comparable acreage elsewhere for a
park facility.
Parcel #6 - Future Vanderbilt Community Park:
121.4 Acres
Purchased for use as a community park
No funding or plans yet
No Access
No Utilities. Outside the sewer and water district. Needs on site sewer and
water.
Vanderbilt Road to be extended to park site in 2021
Potential for carving out a section for housing but would need to adjust the
level of use for the park or purchase comparable acreage elsewhere for a
park facility.
Would need Growth Management Plan Amendment and rezoning for
residential
Parcel #7 County 305
305 Acres
Purchased for road, utilities and potential landfill expansion
Adjacent and just west of the existing landfill site
Will allow for the extension of Wilson-Benfield road
County considering using the western half of the site for ball fields.
Portion of the site will require mitigation due to wet lands
The property will require environmental permitting
Not an ideal residential location
Would need a Growth Management Plan Amendment and rezoning for
residential.
Parcel #8 – Future Resource Recovery Business Park
344 acres assembled over 20 years
Recently rezoned as an industrial PUD
Planned for solid waste, recycling, leaching injection wells and bio-solids
plant
Northern half of the site has a conservation easement for maintenance ofa
preserve, on-site mitigation agreement with FDEP and Corp of Engineers
Other half is for intended governmental purposes, including disaster debris
and other solid waste related activities.
Would need Growth Management Plan Amendment and rezoning for
residential

Packet Pg. 511 Attachment: Public Lands review- Property Details 1-9 062017-1519 (3320 : Designate County owned properties that are suitable for the
Parcel #9 – Fair Grounds
68 acres. Property is under a lease with a Non-Profit that operates the fair
events.
Lease is non-revocable and runs until 2037.
It currently has easements for future construction of well field for future
Water Plant
The NE recycling center is in construction on adjacent property.
Big Corkscrew Park will also be nearby.
There appears to be no potential to carve out 5-10acres for housing since
they use the entire site for parking during events.
