Sec. 2.2.17. Conservation District (CON District).
2.2.17.1. PURPOSE AND INTENT. The purpose and intent ofthe ~~onservation @istrict
(CON District) is to conserve, protect and maintain vital natural resources within unincorporated
Collier County that are owned primarily by the public. All native habitats possess ecological and
physical characteristics that iustify attempts to maintain these important natural resources. Barrier
Islands. coastal bavs. wetlands. and habitat for listed species deserve particular attention because
of their ecological value and their sensitivity to perturbation. All proposals for development in the
CON District must be sub' ect to ri orous review to ensure that the im acts of the develo ment do
not destroy or unacceptablv degrade the inherent functional values. The CON district includes such
public lands as Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida Panther National
Wildlife Refuge, portions of the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern, Fakahatchee Strand
State Preserve, Collier-Seminole State Park, Rookery Bay National Estuarine Sanctuary Research
Reserve, Delnor-Wiggins State Park, and the National Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary
(privatelY owned). and C.R.E.W. It is the intent of the CON aQistrict to require review of all
development proposed within the CON @istrict to ensure that the inherent value of Collier
County's natural resources is not destroyed or unacceptably altered. The CON @istrict
corresponds to and implements the conservation land use designation on the future land use map of
the Collier County growth management plan. The m&x}mtuR s'eesity permissib16 in the

617,6172,621,6218,6219,624, and 630 is deemed to be preferred or tolerated habitat for
panthers for the purpose of assigning a value for these indices. An intersection of at least one data
point establishing the presence ofa listed species within a geographic information system (GIS)
polygon of preferred or tolerated habitat for that species shall result in the entire polygon being
scored as occupied habitat.
+h~ Natural resource index (index) - A measurement system that establishes the relative
natural resource value of each acre of land by objectively measuring six different characteristics of

2.2.27.10. SRA DESIGNATION
* * * * * *
G. Master plan. To address the specifics of each SRA, a master plan of each SRA will be
prepared and submitted to Collier County as a part of the petition for designation as an SRA.
The master plan will demonstrate that the SRA complies with all applicable growth
management plan policies and the RLSA District and is designed so that incompatible land uses
are directed away from lands identified as FSAs, HSAs, WRAs, and conservation lands on the
RLSA overlay map.
l. Master plan requirements. A master plan shall accompany an SRA designation
application to address the specifics of each SRA. The master plan shall demonstrate that
the SRA is designed so that incompatible land uses are directed away from lands identified
as FSAs, HSAs, WRAs and conservation lands on the RSLA overlay map. The plan shall
be designed by an urban planner who possesses an AICP certification, together with at
least one of the following:
a. A professional engineer (P .E.) with expertise in the area of civil engineering
licensed by the State of Florida;
b. A qualified environmental consultant per seet4eB Division 3.8 of the LDC; or
c. A practicing landscape architect licensed by the State of Florida.
* * * * * *
J. Design criteria. Criteria are hereby established to guide the design and development of
SRAs to include innovative planning and development strategies as set forth in Chapter
163.3177(11), F.S. and OJ-5.006(5)(l). The size and base density of each form ofSRA shall be
consistent with the standards set forth below. The maximum base residential density as
specified herein for each form of SRA may only be exceeded through the density blending
process as set forth in density and intensity blending provision of the Immokalee Area Master
Plan or through the affordable housing density bonus as referenced in the density rating system
of the FLUE. The base residential density is calculated by dividing the total number of
residential units in an SRA by the acreage therein that is entitled through stewardship credits.
The base residential density does not restrict net residential density of parcels within an SRA.
The location, size and density of each SRA will be determined on an individual basis, subject
to the regulations below, during the SRA designation review and approval process.
l. SRA Characteristics. Characteristics for SRAs designated within the RLSA district
have been established in the goals objectives and policies of the RLSA overlay. All SRAs
designated pursuant to this section shall be consistent with the characteristics identified on
the Collier County RLSA Overlay SRA Characteristics Chart and the design criteria set
forth in 2. through 6. below.

1. The primary purpose of the TDR process is to establish an eauitable method of
protecting and conserving lands determined to have significant environmental value,
including large connected wetland systems and significant areas of habitat for listed
species: and
2, To provide a viable mechanism for property owners of such environmentallY valuable
lands to recoup lost value and development potential which may be associated with the
application of environmental preservations standards to such lands.
B, Intent: These TDR l'rovisions are intended to accomplish the above stated purpose
through an economically viable process of transferring development rights from less suitable
non-RFMU sending areas and RFMU Sending Lands to more suitable non-RFMU receiving
areas and RFMU Receiving. Lands.
C. Applicabilitv: These TDR provisions shall be applicable to those areas specifically
identified in 2,6,39,2. 2,6.39,3. and 2,6,39.4. below, These TDR provisions shall not be
applicable to the any transfer of development rights within the RLSA District.
2,2,24.1 1. 2,6.39,2.TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS FROM URBAN AREAS TO
URBAN AREAS. An owner of land located within areas designated as urban on the Future Land
Use Map, including agriculturally zoned properties, which mayor may not be identified with the
ST overlay, may elect to transfer some or all of the residential development rights from one parcel
ofland to another parcel, as an alternative to the development of the sending lands. The lands to
which the development rights are to be transferred shall be referred to as receiving lands and those
lands from which development rights are transferred shall be referred to as sending lands, as
provided herein and shall be located within the urban designated areas of the county,
2.2.24.11.1. &... The development rights shall be considered as interests in real property and be
transferred in portions or as a total as provided in this section, Once used, the residential
development rights shall not be used again and the residential development rights of the subject
lands providing them shall be considered severed forever.
2,2.24.1 1.2. !LThe transfer of development rights to be used shall be subject to all of the
requirements of the basic zoning district to which they are transferred unless specifically
approved otherwise as provided by law,
2.2.24.11.3. C. The minimum area of land eligible for the transfer of development rights shall
be equal to the minimum lot size for the sending zone. For the purposes of this section, legal
non-conforming lots of record may be eligible to transfer density, with the minimum area of the
receiving land equal to the area of the legal non-conforming lot of record, excluding submerged
land,
2.2.24.11.1. D. Upon the approval of the transfer of residential development rights by a super
majority vote of the board of county commissioners, the property owner of the sending land
shall dedicate in fee simple the land to the county or a state or federal agency; however, the
Page 94 of 167

lands may be dedicated in fee simple to a private, not-for-profit conservation or environmental
organization in accordance with F,S. S 704,06, as amended, with the approval of the board of
county commissioners.
2,2,24.11.5. E. The maximum number of residential units which may be requested for
transfer shall be compiled on the basis of the permitted density pursuant to the underlying
zoning category of the sending land.
2.2.24.11.6. LMaximum number of residential units which eligible lands may receive.
1, Lands in all residential zoning districts and residential components of planned unit
development zoning districts are eligible to receive residential development units provided
that the maximum number of residential units which may be transferred to the receiving
land does not exceed ten percent of the maximum number of residential units permitted
under the receiving property's basic zoning district. For the purpose of determining the
number of residential units which a parcel ofland is capable of receiving, the following
formula~ shall apply~
~ RSF-l through RSF-5 districts, up to and including five units per acre:
Units per base density X 10% 0= .1 to ,5 units per acre
b. RMF-6 district, up to and including six units per acre:
6 units X 10% = 0,6 units per acre
~ RMF-12 district, seven to and including 12 units per acre:
12 units X 10% = 1.20 units per acre
d, RMF-16 district:
16 units X 5% = 0,80 units per acre
f:. RT district:
16 units X 5% = 0.80 units per acre
26 units X 5% = 1.30 units per acre
f. PUD district:
Residential tract units X 5% = permitted units per acre
2. For the purpose of calculating the final fractional residential unit of the total number of
residential units eligible for transfer to an eligible parcel of land, the following shall apply:
Any fractional residential unit shall be converted upward if one-half or more of a whole
unit, or downward if less than one-half of a whole unit, to the nearest whole unit value,
2,2,24,12. ri...Procedure for obtaining transfer of residential development rights. Any owner
of eligible land may apply for a transfer of development rights either separately or concurrently

areas of Y2 acre or less, preserves may be planted with all three strata: using the criteria
set forth in Created Preserves and shall be created adiacent existing native vegetation
areas on site or conti ousto reserves on ad'acent ro erties, This exce tion ma be
granted, regardless of the size of the proiect.
f. When an access point to a proiect cannot be relocated. To comply with

preserves may be impacted and created elsewhere on site.
2. Required Planting Criteria:
a. Where created preserves are approved. the landscape plan shall re-create a
native lant communi in all three strata round cover shrubs and trees utilizin
larger plant materials so as to more quickly re-create the lost mature vegetation, Such
re-vegetation shall apply the standards of section 2.4.4, of this Code, and include the
following minimum sizes: one gallon ground cover: seven (7) gallon shrubs: fourteen
(14~ foot high trees with a seven foot crown spread and a dbh (diameter at breast
hei ht) of three inches, The spacing of the plants shall be as follows: twenty to thirty
foot on center for trees with a small cano less than 30 ft mature s read and fo
foot on center for trees with alar e cano reater than 30 ft mature s read five
foot on center for shrubs and three foot on center for g.round covers, Plant material
shall be planted in a manner that mimics a natural plant community and shall not be
maintained as landscaping. Minimum sizes for plant material may be reduced for
scrub and other xeric habitats where smaller size plants material are better suited for
re-establishment of the native plant community.
b. Approved created preserves may be used to recreate:
(1) not more than one acre of the required preserves if the property has
less than twenty acres of existing native vegetation.
(2) not more than two acres of the required preserves if the property has
equal to or g.reater than twenty acres and less than eighty acres of existing
native vegetation,
(3) not more than 10% of the required preserves if the property has
equal to or g.reater than eighty acres of existing native vegetation,
c. The minimum dimensions shall apply as set forth in 3.9.7,1.B.

the native vegetation preserve requirements shall be labeled as preserves and shall
comply with all preserve setbacks.
F, Allowable Supplemental Plantings, Supplemental native plantings in all three strata
may be added to preserve areas where the removal of non-native and/or nuisance vegetation
creates open areas with little or no native vegetation coverag.e. Plant material in these
restoration areas shall meet the following minimum size criteria: one gallon ground covers,
three gallon shrubs and six foot high trees. Plant material shall be planted in a manner that
mimics a natural plant community and shall not be maintained as landscaping. Minimum sizes
for plant material may be reduced for scrub and other xeric habitats where smaller size plants

-,~,-,,-_..<".-
then, upon conviction by the court or the code enforcement board, in addition to any fine
imposed, a restoration plan shall be ordered in accordance with the following standards:
fAj,L The restoration plan shall include the following minimum planting standards:
fB .!hIn the successful replacement of trees illegally removed, replacement trees
shall be of sufficient size and quantity to replace the dbh inches removed. Dbh is
defined for the purposes of this ordinance as diameter of the tree, measured at a height
of 4.5 feet above natural grade,
~ b.Each replacement tree shall be Florida grade No, I or better as graded by
the Florida department of agriculture and consumer service,
fJ1 f.:.All replacement trees shall be nursery grown, containerized and be a
minimum of 14 feet in height with a seven foot crown spread and have a minimum dbh
of three inches,
~ 4.,Replacement trees shall have a guarantee of 80 percent survivability for a
period of no less than three years. A maintenance provision of no less than three years
must be provided in the restoration plan to control invasion of exotic vegetation (those
species defined as exotic vegetation by the Collier County Land Development Code),
~ ~It shall be at the discretion of the development services director to allow for
any deviation from the above specified ratio.
fIBLIn the event that identification of the species of trees is impossible for any reason on
the property where protected trees were unlawfully removed, it shall be presumed that the
removed trees were of a similar species mix as those found on adjacent properties,
~L The understory vegetation shall be restored to the area from which protected trees
were unlawfully removed, The selection of plants shall be based on the characteristics of
the Florida Land Use, Covers and Form Classifications System (FLUCCS) code, Shrubs,
ground cover, and grasses shall be restored as delineated in the FLUCCS code. The species
utilized shall be with relative proportions characteristic of those in the FLUCCS code. The
exact number and type of species required may also be based upon the existing indigenous
vegetation on the adjacent property at the discretion of the development services director.
(I)B. If the unlawful removal of trees has caused any change in hydrology, ground
elevations or surface water flows, then the hydrology, ground elevation or surface water
flows shall be restored to pre-violation conditions.
OO~ In the event of impending development on property where protected trees were
unlawfully removed, the restoration plan shall indicate the location of the replacement
stock consistent with any approved plans for subsequent development. For the purposes of
this ordinance, impending development shall mean that a developer has made application
for a development order or has applied for a building permit.
fB6. The development services director may, at his discretion, allow the replacement
stock to be planted off-site where impending development displaces areas to be restored. In
such situations, off-site plantings shall be on lands under the control of a public land and/or
agency. The off-site location shall be subject to the approval of the development services
director.
fGj7. The donation of land and/or of funds under the control of a public agency may be
made if none of the above are viable alternatives. This donation ofland and/or funds shall
be equal to or greater than the total sum it would cost to restore the area in which the
violation occurred. (Preservation of different contiguous habitats is to be encouraged,)
3,9.9-:9.11.2. Corrective measures for environmental violations.
A. Mitigation
1. The person(s) responsible for violations of the environmental sections of the Land
Development Code shall be notified according to section 1.9,5 and shall have 30 days to
prepare a mitigation plan that is acceptable to the county to resolve the violation, The
mitigation plan shall be submitted to development services staff for review and comment.
Once the plan is accepted by development services, the responsible party shall have 15
days to complete the mitigation unless other arrangements are specified and agreed upon in
the mitigation plan.
2, Mitigation shall restore the area disturbed unless the responsible party demonstrates
that off-site mitigation will successfully offset the impacts being mitigated for. Off-site
mitigation shall be on lands under the control of a public agency, or identified for public
Page 144 of 167
Words strnek tb1sagh are deleted, words underlined are added
acquisition, or on lands protected from future development. Ratios for off-site mitigation
shall be as follows: two to one for uplands and three to one for wetlands.
3. The selection of plants to be used shall be based on the characteristics of the Florida
Land Use, Covers and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS) code, The exact number
and type of species required may vary depending on the existing indigenous vegetation
found at the site.
4. If only trees were removed and the understory vegetation was not disturbed, then
replacement of the dbh (diameter at breast height) in inches removed shall be required,
5. If the violation has caused any change in hydrology, ground elevations or surface
water flows, then the hydrology, ground elevation or surface water flows shall be restored
to pre-violation conditions,
6, If the violation consists of clearing of residential, single-family (RSF), village
residential (VR) or estates (E) or other non agricultural, non commercially zoned land in
which single-family lots have been subdivided for single-family use only, and one acre or
less of land is being cleared by the property owners themselves in advance of issuance of
building permit, the development services director may, in lieu of restoration or donation,
impose a penalty fee in the amount equal to double the cost of a typical building permit.
3,9,6.9.1. B, Requirementsfor a mitigation plan.
1. A copy of the deed, contract for sale or agreement for sale or a notarized statement of
ownership clearly demonstrating ownership and control of the subject lot or parcel ofland,
or permission from the landowner to mitigate on his or her site shall be provided,
2. The mitigation plan shall be prepared by a person who meets or exceeds the
credentials specified in section 3.8.4,
3. The plan shall designate the person's name, address and telephone number that
prepared the plan.
4. A north arrow, scale, and date shall be required on the plan,
5. Existing vegetation areas shall be shown.
6. The proposed planting areas shall be clearly defined,
7, The plan shall denote the number and location of each plant to be planted, or for the
case of ground covers, show them in groupings, Large mitigation areas may be designated
by a more simplified method,
8. All plants proposed shall be denoted by genus, species, and the common name,
9. The plan shall identify what is adjacent to the mitigation areas, i.e. existing forest
(provide type), farm, natural buffer area, lake, etc.
3,9,6,9,2. C. Site-specific review criteria.
1. All plants used for mitigation shall be native Florida species.
2, All plants used for mitigation shall be from a legal source and be graded Florida No, 1
or better, as graded by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services'
Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants (Charles S. Bush, 1973, Part 1 and 2). All plants
not listed in Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants shall conform to a Florida No.1 as
to: (1) health and vitality, (2) condition offoliage, (3) root system, (4) freedom from pest
or mechanical damage, (5) heavily branched and densely foliated according to the accepted
normal shapes of the species or sport, Trees shall be a minimum of 14 feet tall at the time
of planting and shall have a minimum dbh (diameter at breast height) of three inches.
3, The plants proposed for planting must be temperature tolerant to the areas they are to
be planted in. The South Florida Water Management District's Xeriscape Plant Guide II
shall be used in determining the temperature tolerances of the plants.
4. The existing soil types shall be identified. Plants proposed for planting shall be
compatible with the soil type. The 1954 or the 1992 soil survey of Collier County shall be
used to determine if the plants proposed for planting are compatible with the existing or
proposed soil types,
5. The source and method of providing water to the plants shall be indicated on the plan
and subject to review and approval.

1. Development services will review the plan based on, but not limited to, the preceding
requirements within 15 days. Additional relevant information may be required when
requested.
2, Should the county reject the mitigation plan, the reasons will be provided so the
applicant can correct the plan and resubmit for county review.
3.9.6,9.1, E, Monitoring and replanting.
1. A monitoring program shall be required that would detennine the survivability by
species of the plants used in the mitigation effort, A minimum of five reports will be
submitted. Reports shall be due at one-year intervals.
2. Eighty percent survival by species shall be required for a five-year period unless other
arrangements are specified and agreed upon in the mitigation plan, Replanting shall be
required each year if the mortality exceeds 20 percent of the total number of each species
in the mitigation plan,
3, The soil and hydrological conditions for some mitigation areas may favor some of the
plants and preclude others. Should the county and/or consultant find that over time, some
of the species planted simply don't adjust, the mitigation plan shall be reevaluated by both
the consultant and the county, and a revised plan will be instituted, This condition shall not
apply to all mitigation areas and each case will be evaluated individually, based on the
supported [supporting] data submitted by the mitigator.
3.9.6.9,5, F. Donation of land or funds, The donation ofland and/or funds to a public agency
may be made if none of the above are viable alternatives. This donation ofland and/or funds
shall be equal to or greater than the total sum it would cost to mitigate for the violation
according to sections 3.9.11.2.A. 3.9.6.9 3,9,6.9.4 including consulting fees for design, and

a tyPical "lane mile cost" as determined by the Collier County Transportation Administrator of
adding lanes to a similar area/facility tyPe as the constrained facility.
3.15.6.4.6.2. Proportionate share payments shall be utilized by Collier County to add trip capacity
and enhance traffic operations that increase capacity within the impacted TCMA and/or to
enhance mass transit or other non-automotive trans ortation alternatives that reduce vehicle tri s
within the Transportation Concurrency Management Area.
3.15.6.4.6.3. However, no impact will be de minimis if it exceeds the adopted level-of-service
standard of any affected designated hurricane evacuation routes within a TCMA. Hurricane routes
in Collier County are shown on Map TR 7. Any imuact to a hurricane evacuation route within a
TCMA shall require a proportionate share payment provided the remaining LOS requirements of
the TCMA are maintained.
3.15.6.4.Jl. Significance test. Impact for traffic impact analysis purposes for a proposed
development project will be considered significant:
1. On those roadway segments directly accessed by the project where project traffic is
equal to or greater than three percent of the adopted LOS standard service volume;
2. For those roadway segments immediately adjacent to segments which are directly
accessed by the project where project traffic is greater than or equal to three percent of the
adopted LOS standard service volume; or
3. For all other adjacent segments where the project traffic is greater than five percent of
the adopted LOS standard service volume.
4. Once traffic from a development has been shown to be less than significant on any
segment using the above standards, the development's impact is not required to be analyzed
further on any additional segments.
~ This significance test is applicable to proiects inside and outside TCEAs and TCMAs.

3.15.6.5. Establishment of area(s) of significant influence (ASI) for deficient road segments. If
the findings of the AUIR analysis identify additional road improvement projects that would be
needed in order to maintain a segment or road facility's adopted LOS, and such projects are not
included in the proposed annual ClE road component update adopted by the board, then the
community development and environmental services division administrator, in conjunction with
the transportation services administrator, may propose to establish one or more areas of significant
influence (AS I) for any such deficient road segment. The geographic limits of any ASI must meet
the standards in subsection 3.15.6.5.1. of this division.
3.15.6.5.1. Standards in establishing area of significant influence (ASI).
The boundaries for an ASI shall include the limits of the roadway segment(s) that are
deficient as recommended by the transportation services administrator.
3.15.6.5.2. Review and approval of ASI by board of county commissioners. After receipt of the
proposed boundaries of a potential ASI from the transportation services division administrator, the
board of county commissioners, shall hold public hearings noticed pursuant to the requirements of
t subsection 2.7.2.3.4. of this Code~ After final consideration of the proposal and public comment,
the board may approve the designation of an ASI, (including a map of the impacted roadway
segments), with or without modifications, or determine that competent substantial evidence has
been placed on the record to show that the road segment is not deficient and find that the
establishment of an ASI is not necessary to ensure that development orders are served by adequate
road public facilities. The approved ASI(s) will become effective upon adoption by the board of
county commissioners.
* * * * * *
3.15.6.5.5. Interim development controls on ASI roadway segments. No final local development
order for development directly accessing deficient roadway segments may be approved if it would
add more than a de minimis number of vehicle trips (i.e., an impact eCJ:l:lal to or greater than one
percent of the peak hour service volume) to a deficient roadway segment designated as an AS1.
Development of a single-family home on an existing lot, tract or parcel of land will be considered
to be de minimis development regardless of the number of actual trips that would be generated.

approval by the Board per Section 2.7.3.6. LDC. The written report must be submitted to, and be
in, a format established by the Transportation Administrator and must indicate any revised
estimates to the initial build-out schedule and any resulting effect on traffic impact projections,
along with any progress towards completing any developer contribution requirements.
TrafficIPUD Monitoring Reports which are more than nine tv (90) days pass due will result in the
suspension of final local development order issuance with the PUD pending receipt of the Report.

3.15.7.3.1.5. Assessment and application of transportation impact fees and surrender of certificate
of public facility adequacy. Within 90 days of notification by facsimile that an application for a
certifieate of publie faeility adequaey final local development order has been approved and a
certificate issued, an applicant may pick up the certificate upon payment of one-half (50 percent)
of the estimated transportation impact fees due. Such estimates shall be based on the currently
approved transportation impact fee rate schedule. If the certificate is not picked up within 90 days
and the applicable estimated transportation impact fees paid, the application will be deemed denied
and the applicant must reenter the application process from the beginning. Transportation impact
fees for residential development will be estimated using the fee based on the mid-range housing
size, unless the residential use qualifies as affordable housing. Affordable housing estimated
transportation impact fees shall be based on the income limitations for affordable housing in force
at the time of a certificate of public facility adequacy application. Additionally, previously vested
developments may, pursuant to subsection 3.15.7.3.1.2., elect to have escrowed fees applied
against the one-half (50 percent) of estimated transportation impact fees. Payment of these fees
vests the development entitlements for which the certificate of public facility adequacy certificate
applies on a continuous basis unless relinquished pursuant to the requirements of this section prior
to the end of the third year after the initial impact fee payment. The initial 50 percent impact fee
payment is non-refundable after payment and receipt of the certificate of public facility adequacy
certificate.
Fer GertifiGates issued after [the effeetive date eftrn5 aivisien's afHeBdmeBt], H-~ot later than 90
days prior to the expiration of the three year period for such certificates, the county shall notify the
certificate holder via registered mail of the remaining balance due for the estimated transportation
impact fees up to 50 percent, based on level of building permits already issued. The balance of the
impact fees due will be calculated at the rate schedule then currently applicable. The developer
may elect to pay the balance of the estimated transportation impact fees for the entitlements for
which the certificate applies or modify the certificate to a lesser entitlement and calculate the
balance of the transportation impact fees on the revised entitlements. The certificate of public
facility adequacy shall be modified to include only the entitlements for which the estimated
transportation impact fees are paid. The expiration date for the remaining, up to 50 percent,
balance of the estimated transportation impact fees due from a previously vested development that
opts into the revised concurrency certificate process as provided in subsection 3.15.7.3.1.2. of this
Code, will relate back to the date of issuance of the original certificates. Once the balance of the
estimated transportation impact fees are paid, those estimated fees are non-refundable. However,
the certificate of public facility adequacy runs continuously with the land in perpetuity after all
estimated transportation impact fees have been paid. As building permits are drawn down on the
entitlements, the estimated transportation impact fees already paid shall be debited at the rate of
the impact fees in effect at the time of utilization. If the estimated transportation impact fee
account becomes depleted, the developer shall pay the currently applicable transportation impact
fee for each building permit in full prior to its issuance. In the event that upon build-out of the
development estimated transportation impact fees are still unspent, the remaining balance of such
estimated fees may be transferred to another approved project within the same, or adjacent,
transportation impact fee district, provided any vested entitlements associated with the unspent and
transferred transportation impact fees are relinquished and the certificate of public facility
adequacy is modified to delete those entitlements.
* * * * * *
3.15.7.3.4.3. Determination of completeness and review. Upon receipt of an application for
certificate of public facility adequacy by the community development and environmental services
division for road facilities, all copies of the application will be time and date stamped. One copy
will be forwarded to the transportation services division for processing no later than the next
business day. After receipt of the application for certificate of public facility adequacy, the
community development and environmental services division administrator and transportation
services division administrator shall determine whether its respective application is complete
within five business days. If it is determined that any component of the application is not
complete, written notice via facsimile shall be provided to the applicant specifying the
deficiencies. The community development and environmental services division administrator and
Page 159 of 167

transportation services division administrator shall take no further action on the application unless
the deficiencies are remedied. The applicant shall provide the additional information within 60
days or the application will be considered withdrawn and the application fee is forfeited. Within 20
business days after any application for a certificate except for road facilities is received and the
application is determined to be complete, the community development and environmental services
division administrator shall review and grant, or deny each public facility component except for
roads in the application pursuant to the standards established in subsection 3.15.7.3.5. of this
Code. The transportation services administrator shall review and grant, or deny a certificate of
public facility adequacy for roads within 20 business days after the application is determined to be
