Agenda 12/12/2017 Item #11H12/12/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to direct staff to initiate a Request for Information (RFI) process for two County -
owned properties that are suitable for the development of housing that is affordable in accordance
with the Community Housing Plan.
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 June 27, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) reviewed a list of
County-owned properties that may be suitable for the development of housing that is affordable. At that
meeting, the BCC directed staff continue to review the properties and to explore public/private
partnerships on some of those sites for the future development or inclusion of housing that is affordable.
Staff has reviewed the properties and recommends moving forward with a Request for Information (RFI)
process on the following two sites:

Two additional sites were also researched by staff as directed, the 47 acre Randal Curve site and the 21
acre Livingston/Grey Oaks site. Staff does not recommend moving forward with either of those sites at
this time. Future development of the Randal Curve site may become integral to the Golden Gate Estates
District, and it is recommend that ongoing restudies of the surrounding areas continue before making a
decision on that site’s potential uses. The Livingston/Grey Oaks site is encumbered by an FPL easement
that prohibits the construction of any structures at this time.
An RFI is used to collect comments and obtain input from the market place. In this case the process will
be used to solicit information from potential developers as to the interest and potential for the
development of housing that is affordable on each of the two sites.
Housing that is affordable includes households in Collier County with incomes ranging from 0% to 140%
of median income. Recent studies identify priority needs for rental housing and senior housing, both at
the 80% or less of median income in Collier County.
The RFI will allow the market to describe their best approaches to meeting the County’s need for housing
that is affordable whether it be through an affordable rental development, a senior housing project, entry-
level owner-occupied units, the co-location of housing and other County or public uses, or a combination
of the above. Each of the sites may have different approaches and outcomes.
FISCAL IMPACT: Any potential fiscal impact will be determined on a property-by-property basis
based on BCC direction. Reimbursement of original costs may be required if properties were acquired
using impact fees.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote
for Board approval. - JAB

GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Use of County-owned parcels for the development of housing
that is affordable furthers the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Growth Management Plan and
specifically the Housing Element.
RECOMMENDATION: To direct staff to initiate a Request for Information (RFI) process for two
County-owned properties that are suitable for the development of housing that is affordable.

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.
Minutes from the County -Owned Property Review Sub -committee meeting are attached to this item. The
sale of surplus land could reimburse all the County funds. Any properties identified will receive a second
level vetting by staff and be brought back to the Board with a full explanation of existing plans, future
plans, obstacles, and any other considerations before final disposition.
FISCAL IMPACT: Any potential fiscal impact will be determined on a property -by -property basis
based on BCC direction. Reimbursement of original costs may be required if properties were acquired
using impact fees.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority
vote for Board approval. - JAB
