Sample of potential cost saving regulatory relief provided for in the plan
“Every $1000 added or subtracted to the price of a home in Collier County either allows 189 additional households to afford to purchase a median priced home, or puts that home out of
their reach.” – National Home Builder’s Association’s “Priced Out” report in 2016

New LDC Section 4.02.39 – Design deviations for housing that is affordable. Provides relief related to elevation of internal private roads, exemption for 1 tree per lot when next to
a preserve or perimeter berm, alternative design for internal roads, alternative size and material options for internal sidewalks, allow triplex to exempt from SDP requirement, exemption
from well site dedication.
Cluster housing that is affordable can be administratively reviewed and approved, currently requires a conditional use which requires a public hearing.
