Agenda 03/22/2011 Item #16A5 3/22/2011 Item 16.A.5. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve a PUD amendment zoning fee rednction request for the Sahal Bay PUD petition OBJECTIVE: To have the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) authorize a fee adjustment based upon a limited acreage calculation which would not be impacted by this petition, CONSIDERATIONS: The applicant for the Sabal Bay Planned Unit Development (PUD) is planning to submit an application to amend this PUD, A pre-application meeting was held for this petition on January 13,2011. Attached is the applicant's summary of the proposed changes as discussed in that pre-application meeting, The applicant is seeking a fee reduction for a proposed PUD amendment as explained in the January 27, 2011 memo from the applicant's agent to the BCC, ~ The current fee code, adopted in Resolution 2010-13 requires petitioners to pay a $25 acreage fee for all acreage within the project. This PUD includes approximately 2,4 17 acres, 1,302 acres of which will be placed in a conservation easement to the South Florida Water Management District, (780 acres of which will eventually be turned over to Rookery Bay), The applicant seeks a reduction in the overall fee such that acreage fees would not be required for the lands that will be encumbered by a conservation easement or deeded to others ( i,e" not be required to pay a fee on 1,302 acres), and thus would be rcquired to pay on only 1,115 acres, 2.417 acres - L3 02 acres 1,115 acres FEE COMPARISON PUD Application Amendment Acreaue fee per fee Code $66,425 ($6.000 + $25/acre for 2,417 acres) PUD Application Amendment Acreage fee per applicant's request $33,875 ($6,000 + $25/acre: for 1.1 ] 5 acres) AMOUNT OF RELIEF SOUGHT BY APPLICANT $32,550 The Collier County Growth Management Division/Planning & Regulation Fee Schedule states that only the BCC can reduce or waive fees, therefore staff advised the appl icant that BCC approval would be required for this request. Because no changes are proposed for the 1,302 acres the petitioner is asking to exclude from the acreage calculation, staff review of those lands would not be required, Therefore, it seems reasonable to allow these lands to be cxcluded from the acreage fee calculations, The applicant will pay all other applicable fees-fire review, comprehensive planning review, advertising fees, etc,- according to the adopted fee schedule, ,-. Packet Page -833- 3/22/2011 Item 16.A.5. Staff recognizes the issue raised by this petItIOner could be applicable to other PUD amendment applications and requests direction from the BCC to allow staff to use this fee calculation method for other PUD amendment requests, This method could be implemented if the PUD was reviewed and approved with adopted preserves or conservation easements and if the amendment being requested keeps those intact, then the area calculation should not apply, FISCAL IMPACT: The reduced fee payment, if approved by BCC action, is less than code requires, however the amount seems fair because no impacts are expected to the 1,302 acres being excluded from the acreage fee payment. GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPACT: The Growth Management Plan (GMP) does not address fees thus no impact to the GMP is anticipated, LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is legally sufficient and requires majority support for approval. The only issue of concern that was raised (and addressed by staff) is that future PUD amendment applicants be charged in the same manner as this applicant. -JAK, RECOMMENDATION: That the BCC approve the requested fee reduction and direct the County Manager or his designee to apply this fee reduction policy consistently with other similar applications, PREPARED BY: Kay Deselem, AICP, Principal Planner, Land Development Services Growth Management Division.

Packet Page -837- 3/22/2011 Item 16.A.5. January 27,2011 To: Board of County Commissioners (through Kay Deselem, Principal Planner) From: Sabal Bay PUD Amendment Team (through Margaret Perry) Re: Alternative Fee Schedule for Sabal Bay PUD Amendment A pre-application meeting was held with County staff on January 13, 2011 for a proposed PUD amendment for the Sabal Bay PUD, As previously discussed with Nick Casalanguida and again discussed at the pre-application meeting, we are requesting alternative fee calculations for this application, The project includes approximately 2,417 acres, 1,302 of which will be placed in a conservation easement to the South Florida Water Management District, and of which 780 acres will be deeded to the Rookery Bay Estuarine Reserve, Since there are no additional lands being added to the project and the proposed PUD changes are fairly minor in nature that will be handled in a cross-through/underline format, we are proposing to calculate the fees based on 1,115 acres (2,417 minus 1,302). We proposed the following fees: Fee Amount CDllier CDuntv PUD Amendment- Pre-App fees Pre-application meetina (credited toward aDPlication fee; atreadv naid\ $500 Fire pre-application (separate check: already paid) $75 I TranspDrtation methodology (separate check; already paid) $500 !
