EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
STATUS REPORT FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND
THE DEPARTMENT OF ZONING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW TO THE
ANNUAL JOINT BOARD MEETING BETWEEN THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS AND THE COLLIER COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD AS REQUIRED
BY THE 2003 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
OBJECTIVE:
For the Board of County Commissioners and the School Board of Collier County to review the
implementation procedures set forth through the 2003 Interlocal Agreement by the
Comprehensive Planning Department and the Department of Zoning and Land Development
Review (formerly the Planning Services Department).
BACKGROUND:
The Board of County Commissioners adopted the 2003 Interlocal Agreement on May 27, 2003.
Section 2.2 of the 2003 Interlocal Agreement calls for a joint workshop session of the Board of
County Commissioners and the School Board of Collier County to be held every other year.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The Comprehensive Planning Department and Department of Zoning and Land Development
Review have implemented actions set forth in the 2003 Interlocal Agreement for the Growth
1Management Plan and the Land Development Code.
The Growth Management Plan is being amended by changing its map series to identify existing
and proposed Educational and Ancillary Plants. The two new maps in the Future Land Use
Map (FLUM) series depict sites of existing and future school and school support facilities:.
reference the existing school and school support facilities map in the Future Land Use Element
(FLUE) support document; and, identify the zoning districts that allow or prohibit school and
school support facilities. The existing FLUE locational criteria and new FLUM series maps
will now identify where school and school support facilities are allowed throughout the
unincorporated areas of Collier County and in companion policy amendments the Immokalee
Area Master Plan (IAMP) and Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) will also be updated to
incorporate this FLUE policy.
The Land Development Code (LDC) is being amended to provide for administrative deviations
for essential services and flexibility for joint uses with respect to landscaping requirements.
The definitions used in the 2003 Intertocal Agreement have been adopted in the LDC.
Educational and Ancillary Plants are identified as permitted, conditional, or prohibited uses in
the various zoning districts. Land use regulations relating to Planned Unit Developments (PUD)
will be amended to allow for the incorporation of Educational and Ancillary plants without
opening up the entire PUD to meeting the current LDC requirements. The minimum setback
requirements from all property lines for principal and accessory structures for Educational and
Ancillary Plants will be provided. The site development review process for the School Board
Review will be incorporated into the LDC regulations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As long as the County is in compliance with Chapter 2002-296 L.O.F., there are no direct fiscal
impacts. This parallel Interlocal agreement is not mandated by DCA and there are no direct
fiscal impacts associated with this agreement.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT:
The adoption of this Intertocal agreement with the Collier County School Board, establishing
site development review processes, will facilitate the implementation of the Collier County
Growth Management Plan with the planning and siting of school facilities and supporting
infrastructure.
RECOMMENDATION:
This is a status report to the joint boards, no recommendations are requested.

F. Future Land Use Map Series (maps)
Explanation:
The first new map recognizes all existing sites and facilities as being consistent with the
FLUF__JGGAMP/IAMP, whether or not those sites comply with the Iocational criteria in those respective
Elements. This is similar to how the existing FLUE Policy 5.9 treats "improved property" reviewed
under the zoning reevaluation program in the early 1990s. The second new map identifies the
properties acquired by the School Board for future schools and support facilities; these sites are
consistent with Iocational criteria in the FLUE/GGAMP/IAMP. [see two NEW maps titled: "Existing
Public Educational Plants (Schools) and Ancillary Plants (Support Facilities)" and "Existing
Sites For Future Public Educational Plants and Ancillary Plants"]
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Environmental Impacts:
The above amendments recognize existing, developed sites; and, recognize undeveloped sites
already owned by the School Board and that already comply with Iocational criteria in the GMP.
Accordingly, there is no new environmental impact being authorized by these amendments. For the
undeveloped sites, development must be in compliance with environmental protection standards in
the GMP and LDC, and state and federal regulations, as applicable.
Public Facilities Impacts:
The above amendments recognize existing, developed sites; and, recognize undeveloped sites
already owned by the School Board and that already comply with Iocational criteria in the GMP.
Accordingly, there is no new impact upon public facilities being authorized by these amendments.
For the undeveloped sites, development is subject to concurrency regulations in effect at the time of
development.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the CCPC forward Petition CPSP-2003-4 to the BCC with a recommendation to Transmit to the
Florida Department of Community Affairs.

including the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District. These
amendments were subsequently found to be "in compliance" by
the Florida Department of Community Affairs, but two
challenges were filed to that compliance finding. Accordingly,
those amendments are not yet in effect. This affects the
consistency determination for those three sites.
Also, the sites delineated in subsection 3.E.(1)(o) of this
Ag-reement, desigmated Rural Fringe Neutral Lands, are in an
area that is subject to a specit% requirement for performance ora
Red-cockaded Woodpecker Study. The results of that study
could lead to a GMP amendment to change the land use
dcsi~=mation, thereby affecting the consistency determination for
those sites. -
Furthermore, sites delineated in subsection 3.E.(1)(q) of this
Agreement are partially within the Rural Fringe Neutral Lands
and partially in the Rural Fringe Sending Lands. The Sending
Lands designation provides for submittal of environmental data
to demonstrate the appropriateness o£' a land use designation
change. This could potentially result in a land use designation
change for, the Sending Lands thereby affecting the consistency
determinat'ion for those sites.
The parties acknowledge that due to the changes in tke
population figures and legislation, certain of the above sites may
be designated ~br other purposes if consistent with all elements
of the GMP, and applicable portions of the LDC as set forth in
this Agreement, in effect at the time a SBR Letter of Compliance
is requested.
If consistent with the locational criteria in the FLUE, GGAMP or

Educational Plants as a permitted principal use, then the
Educational Plant shall only be allowed if an amendment to the
PUD is adopted by the BCC at a duty advertised public hearing
to make the Educational Plant a permitted principal use. Such a
PUD amendment shall be initiated by the Collier County School
Board at its expense.
For part of the sites delineated in Subsection E.(1)(q) above
which is in the Sending Area of the Rural Fringe which is not
consistent with the locational criteria in the FLUE, GGAMP or
IA~MP, or for the sites delineated in Subsections E.(1)(o), (p) and
(q) of this Agreement in the Rural Fnnge area whose consistency
with the locational criteria changes based upon Subsection E.(2)
of this Agreement, as applicable, the Collier County School
Board may, at its expense, initiate an amendment to the

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
STATUS REPORT ON THE BRIDGE TO GOLDEN GATE HIGH SCHOOL TO THE
ANNUAL JOINT BOARD MEETING BETWEEN THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS AND THE COLLIER COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD
OBJECTIVE:
For the Board of County Commissioners and the School Board of Collier County to discuss a
recommendation to provide a pedestrian bridge from Golden Gate City to Golden Gate High
School and a Collier County Park at Tropicana Boulevard.
BACKGROUND:
In January 2001, District staff initiated meetings to coordinate with Collier County Parks and
Recreation and the Collier County Transportation'Planning Services Department to provide
pedestrian access to a county park and a school site from Golden Gate City. Multiple meetings
were held with County Parks and County Transportation Division. The meetings were primarily
held to coordinate the timing of the pedestrian bridge with the opening date of the school and to
design the school site in a way that both the county park and the school would benefit from the
pedestrian bridge location. ARer a feasibility study was completed, one lot was selected for the
pedestrian bridge. The location of the selected lot was shared with County Parks and
Transportation before moving forward with contacting the property owner. Afterwards, District
staff negotiated a purchase agreement with the property owner and recommended the property
for acquisition to the School Board. The School Board approved the purchase contract on
March 21, 2002.
The County Parks and Recreation Department was awarded Transportation Enhancement funds
in the amount of $300,000 toward the construction of a pedestrian bridge. The County Board of
County Commissioners approved this project and the pedestrian bridge is programmed for
construction in the County's Capital Work Program for 2003-04 as a County Parks and
Recreation project.
Site and building plans for the new high school were officially submitted to the County in
October 2002. The site plans showed the pedestrian bridge at the 32nd Avenue location. During
the review, the County Transportation Division requested that the concept for a vehicular bridge
be explored and that it should extend directly from Tropicana Boulevard. The Board of County
Commissioners asked their staffto evaluate the vehicular bridge proposal and meet with the
Golden Gate City community to gauge community support for the proposal to change from a
pedestrian to a vehicular bridge. Many meetings were held with the community and School
District staff. These meetings resulted in an understanding that the location at 32na was not
preferred and that a vehicular bridge at the Tropicana location was not deemed necessary at this
time. If future conditions determine that a vehicular bridge would be necessary or desirable at
that location, the pedestrian bridge could be built in such a way that it would not preclude the
construction of a vehicular bridge at the Tropicana location.
CONSIDERATIONS:
In discussions between the community, School District
Services staff the following conclusions have been made:
staff and County Transportation
1)
It has been affirmed that the previous agreement on the pedestrian bridge concept
resulting from extensive coordination between School District staff and County staff
provides mutual benefit to both as outlined below.
a. County
i. The pedestrian bridge provides access to a County linear park to be used
for walking and jogging activities.
ii.
The pedestrian bridge provides relief of bus and student driver traffic
generated by the new High School on CR 951. A pedestrian bridge
would eliminate the need for 10 to 12 buses that would have used CR 951
to access the school site.
b. School
i.
District
With pedestrian access across the Golden Gate Canal, over 700 students
would be able to walk to school, which would reduce transportation
costs. Currently, approximately 1200 students from Golden Gate City
attend Naples High School. Of those 1200 students there are a total of 81
student drivers from the Golden Gate City area. A bridge would provide
pedestrian access to the new high school for over half of the students in
Golden Gate City.
2) The Transportation Enhancement funds of $300,000 can be used toward the construction
of a pedestrian bridge only.
3)
The community has expressed a preference for the Tropicana Boulevard location for the
bridge due to the impact of cars and pedestrians using a local neighborhood street to
access the pedestrian bridge from the School Board lot on 32na Avenue SW.
RECOMMENDATION:
The following is recommended by School District staff and County Transportation Services
Staff for consideration and discussion by the Board of County Commissioners and the School
Board:
1) School Board will purchase properties at the Tropicana location for the purposes of
constructing a pedestrian bridge;
2)
The County and the School Board will split all costs associated with design and
construction of the pedestrian bridge that are over and above the $300,000 FDOT
Transportation Enhancement Award. The County and the School Board will also share
costs for a roundabout, parking, landscaping and future maintenance of the site and
bridge;
2
3) As the County Transportation Services Division is LAP certified through the FDOT, it
will be responsible for ensuring that the design and construction of the bridge meets
FDOT requiremems;
4) The pedestrian bridge will be located such that it would not preclude the construction of
a vehicular bridge if one were deemed to be needed in the furore. The School Board and
the County would determine a fair share costing for a vehicular bridge if constructed in
the future.

STATUS REPORT
UPDATE STUDY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ON THE ONGOING EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES IMPACT FEE
OBJECTIVE: To provide a status report to the Collier County Board of County Commissioners and
the School Board of Collier County on the ongoing Educational Facilities Impact Fee Update Study.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Educational Facilities Impact Fee Ordinance, 92-33, as amended
became effective September 10, 1992, and provided for the collection of School Impact Fees on behalf
of the School Board of Collier County through an interlocal agreement. Ordinance 92-33 did not
specify the maximum number of years between Ordinance update studies, but rather tied the review to
the Collier County School Board 5-Year Capital Outlay Summary. The Educational Facilities Impact
Fee has not been updated since its adoption in 1992.
The Collier County Consolidated Impact Fee Ordinance (C~O) became effective on March 19, 2001
and combined each of the County's Impact Fee Ordinances into a single document, which repealed and
superceded, in their entirety, the existing individual Ordinances. Included in the CIYO is the
requirement that each of the impact fee studies be reviewed at least every three (3) years. Therefore, a
review and update of the Educational Facilities Impact Fee was immediately required.
The consultant hired to perform an Impact Fee Update Study will review, evaluate and revise (as
needed) the methodology used to calculate the impact fee. Update studies also contemplate changes in
population, socioeconomic data and cost changes in construction, land acquisition, etc. in order to
ensure that the impact fee meets, but does not exceed, the anticipated costs related to Public Facility
capital improvements/additions necessitated by growth. The consultant establishes the "maximum legal
limit" for the impact fee and establishes the methodology and supporting documentation, which is the
cornerstone and legal basis of the fee.
Although the trend in Collier County has been towards the adoption of impact fees at, or near, their
legal limit, the governing body that adopts the Ordinance has discretion in the final dollar amount of the
impact fee. In the case of School Impact Fees, the School Board will make a recommendation to the
Board of County Commissioners regarding the dollar amount that the School Impact Fee will be
increased and the timing of the-implementation of the new fees. Based upon the School Board's
recommendation, the Board of County Commissioners would adopt the Educational Facilities Update
Study and new rate schedule, as and amendment to the C~O.
Below is a chronological history of the major events related to the ongoing Educational Facilities
Impact Fee Update Study:
· October 31, 2001 - Request for Proposal (RFP) advertised through Collier County's Purchasing
Department, with the understanding and cooperation of the CCPS Purchasing Department
Executive Summary - School Impact Fees
October 10, 2003

February 7, 2002 - Selection Committee meeting held and finns short-listed, with Henderson, Young and
Company ranked first. The Selection Committee was comprised of staff members from the Collier
County Public Schools' Purchasing Department, Colher County's Purchasing Department, Impact Fee
Administration and the County Attorney's Office
June 25, 2002 - Contract approved by BCC; Total contract value/cost of study - $39,575.00. The study
is paid by School Impact Fees that are paid to the County ($6.25/$1000 collected) for administrative
functions
· November 2002 through Present - data collection, review of current methodology, legal issues and
Ordinance review is ongoing.
· Upcoming - Upon a complete set of data being assembled by the Consultant, a draft of the revised
methodology and rate schedule will be prepared and forwarded to staff (BCC and CCPS) for review.
Upon staff' review of the draft study and proposed fees, the information will be forwarded to the
School Board for review, consideration and recommendation. The School Board's
recommendation will include the dollar amount of the increase to the School Impact Fee, which
will be based upon the Consultant's findings and ultimately up to the School Board's discretion.
The School Board's recommendation will be forwarded to the Development Services Advisory
Committee and the Collier County Productivity Committee for review. (This is required of all
Impact Fee Studies)
Based upon the recommendations of the Consultant, Collier County School Board and the two
Advisory Committees, Educational Facihties Update Study will be presented to the Board of
County Commissioners for consideration and adoption through the Public Hearing Process.
FISCAL IMPACT: Collections of Educational Facilities Impact Fees have averaged approximately $8
million per year over the past two fiscal years. The future revenue generated by Educational Facilities
.Impact Fees will have a direct relationship to the increase in impact fee rates as well as trends in new
construction, i
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The purpose of Educational Facilities Impact Fees is to
ensure that development that necessitates additional Public Facilities (schools) contributes its fair share
towards the cost of the improvements and additions to the effected Public Facility. Therefore, impact
~fees must be reviewed and adjusted periodically in order to ensure their lawful imposition and collection
thereby continuing to support capital project funding and remain in compliance with the Growth
Management Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: None required at this time. The Educational Facilities Impact Fee Update
Study, through an amendment to the CIFO, will require the approval of the School Board and the
Board of County Commissioners and will be presented to both Boards, and as a Public Hearing, at a
later date.
