II. LHAP Incentive Strategies In addition to the required Incentive Strategy A and Strategy B, include all adopted incentives with the policies and procedures used for implementation as provided in Section 420.9076, F.S.: A. Name of the Strategy: Expedited Permitting Permits as defined in s. 163.3177 (6) (f) (3) for affordable housing projects are expedited to a greater degree than other projects. On December 8, 2015, the Board Collier County Board of County Commissioners Approved an AHCA recommended Incentive Strategy to expedite the development review process for qualified affordable-workforce housing. Initially, a qualification meeting is called with the developer and staff to determine if the project meets the affordable housing requirements. Those projects that demonstrate compliance will be issued a certificate to allow the expedited review process for all development orders. Planning and Zoning will provide expedited status by assisting these developments first throughout the process from application through Certificate of Occupancy. B. Name of the Strategy: Ongoing Review Process An ongoing process for review of local policies, ordinances, regulations and plan provisions that increase the cost of housing prior to their adoption. Collier County requires all items which have the potential to increase the cost of housing to be prepared and presented to the Collier County Board of County Commissioners with the amount of the increase or decrease mentioned in the executive summary. The process, by which items are prepared for the BCC Agenda includes a vast approval hierarchy to ensure that all proposed actions impacting affordable housing are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, the Collier County Affordable Housing Advisory Committee regularly forms subcommittees to review impediments to affordable housing, as well as new affordable housing incentives. C. Other Incentive Strategies Adopted: Increased Density for Affordable Housing Collier County allows developers to request increased density when including a certain percentage of affordable housing in the proposed development. An Affordable Housing Density Bonus Agreement must be submitted and approved by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners as provided for in the Collier County Land Development Code, ss. 2.06.00. Inventory of Locally Owned Public Lands Suitable for Affordable Housing. - 25 -
Collier County prepares an inventory of all real property owned by Collier County that may be appropriate for use as affordable housing in accordance with Sec. 125.379 F.S. every three years. On December 8, 2015, the Board Collier County Board of County Commissioners Approved an AHCA recommended Incentive Strategy to permits properties identified as appropriate for use as affordable housing may be offered for sale and the proceeds used to purchase land for the development of affordable housing or to increase the local government fund earmarked for affordable housing, or may be sold with a restriction that requires the development of the property as permanent affordable housing, or may be donated to a nonprofit housing organization for the construction of permanent affordable housing. - 26 -
