EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an Agreement with Rural Neighborhoods Inc. (“RNI”), providing for
an up to one year due diligence period, at no cost to the County, allowing RNI the ability to explore
the future provision of an essential services housing component on a portion of the former Golden
Gate Golf Course property in coordination with the County and its planning and engineering firm
pertaining to the Board’s award of Invitation to Negotiate (“ITN”) # 20-7698.
OBJECTIVE: To approve an Agreement that will promote the provision of a housing and land
development component that includes an essential services housing component at the former Golden Gate
Golf Course.
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County closed on the purchase of the former Golden Gate Golf Course
property on July 31, 2019. On December 10, 2019 the County selected a planning and engineering firm to
work with the County to rezone and redevelop the golf course to provide a golf and entertainment
component, Veterans Nursing Home, and workforce housing on the property.
At its December 10, 2019 meeting, the Board directed County staff to seek a partner that could provide a
housing and land development component at the golf course. On June 9, 2020, following presentations,
the Board awarded ITN 20-7698 to RNI, and authorized staff to negotiate a contract, for housing and land
development component at the former Golden Gate Golf Course (Agenda Item 11.B).
Staff negotiated a proposed agreement with RNI for an up to one-year due diligence period, at no cost to
the County, which allows RNI to conduct its due diligence on the project and coordinate with the County
and its planning and engineering firm to identify and plan for the proposed housing and land development
component on the property. During this due diligence period RNI and the County will negotiate an
agreement for the essential services housing and land development component that will be brought back
to the Board at a later meeting.
Approval of the attached Agreement by the County Manager is subject to formal ratification by the Board
of County Commissioners. If the decision by the County Manager is not ratified by that Board, the
Agreement shall be enforceable against Collier County only to the extent authorized by law in the absence
of such ratification by that Board.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with award of this action.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no Growth Management impacts associated with
this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for Board approval. -SRT
RECOMMENDATION: To approve an Agreement with Rural Neighborhoods Inc., providing for an up
to one year due diligence period, at no cost to the County, allowing RNI the ability to explore the future
provision of an essential services housing component on a portion of the former Golden Gate Golf
Course property in coordination with the County and its planning and engineering firm pertaining to the
Board’s award of ITN # 20-7698.
