Agenda 02/10/2015 Item #11A 2/10/2015 11 .A.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to direct the County Manager or his designee to begin a phased approach
to updating the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP), the Immokalee Area Master
Plan (LAMP), the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA), and the Rural Fringe Mixed Use
District (RFMUD) and subsequently amend the Collier County Growth Management Plan
(GMP).
OBJECTIVE: To have the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) provide direction to the
County Manager or his designee regarding the timing of updating four master plans within the
Growth Management Plan
CONSIDERATIONS: The Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP) is comprised of
a number of master plans and sub districts. These master plans and sub districts are concentrated
upon specific geographically defined areas and contain Goals, Objectives and Policies that
dictate the desired arrangement of land uses for the areas and set the stage for the Land
Development Code regulations that implement the Goals, Objectives and Policies of each.
This executive summary is focused upon the four master plans/sub districts that comprise a
majority of the land area east of County Road CR951: the GGAMP, TAMP, RLSA, and
RFMUD. Each of the areas referenced have not completed a County led update in over ten
years. This length of time suggests that each of these areas could benefit from a structural review
and corresponding amendments. The recent economic downturn delayed the process, and the
current economic upturn has accelerated the need to begin the updates.
The GGAMP was last updated or restudied from 2001 to 2002, with amendments to the plan
adopted in 2003 and 2004. Subsequently, the County has received twelve privately sponsored
amendments to the GGAMP since those adoption dates. This level of private amendment activity
suggests that a comprehensive review of the GGAMP is needed. The County adopted the
RFMUD in 2004 and like the GGAMP the County has processed five privately initiated
amendments to the District since adoption, again suggesting a need for a comprehensive restudy
of the area. Additionally, the private sector has also recently completed an independent review of
the RFMUD and has submitted a report and recommendations for consideration during the
update.
The RLSA and the IAMP are both similar in that these plans have been through a formal restudy
since adoption, but the amendments identified during the restudy of each of these areas were
never adopted by the County, resulting in plans that are based upon a land use arrangement and a
vision now a decade or more old.
Staff is seeking concurrence from the BCC to update the four plans and approval of the priority
order for the proposed updates. As noted both the RLSA and the IAMP have been through a
recent public planning process and had identified necessary amendments, but those amendments
were never adopted. Due to this fact, the execution of the updating process is expected to
consume less time than the RFMUD or the GGAMP, as projected within Exhibit "A" of this
executive summary.

Based upon growth patterns and the time required, staff would recommend that the RFMUD and
the GGAMP be initiated before the RLSA or the LAMP. Exhibit "B" of the executive summary
provides a draft sample Project Management Plan (PMP) for the GGAMP in an attempt to
estimate the time and cost associated with the effort. The first phase of the project (RFMU &
GGAMP) is estimated to take two to three years from initiation to adoption and an estimated
$300,000 annual cost. As noted in Exhibit "A", the GGAMP is projected to require the greatest
level of funding and greatest length of time to complete, with the RFMUD next in ranking of
resources and time.
The Comprehensive Planning staff is currently comprised of a GMP manager, a principle
planner, and a planner which are currently fully burdened with existing responsibilities. In order
to begin immediately, staff is requesting that the BCC consider a mid-year budget allocation of
$150,000 to initiate the process of hiring staff, begin data collection for the RFMUD and the
GGAMP restudy process, and activate the public vetting process.
FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact associated with the proposed recommendation is
estimated at $300,000 annually and will require approximately four years to complete. The
estimate includes staffing, data collection, advertising, and recorded minutes.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) IMPACT: The master plans identified are in
need of updating and the end result of the public planning processes associated with each master
plan will result in amendments to the GMP.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This Executive Summary has been reviewed by the County
Attorney's Office. A majority vote is necessary for Board action. (HAC)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the BCC directs the County Manager or
his designee to; execute a budget amendment from the unincorporated area general fund (11 l) in
the amount of$150,000 to Cost Center 111-138317 for the remainder of the current fiscal year;
approve the schedule of initiation for the four master plan updates, with the GGAMP and the
RFMUD being the first planning processes to initiate; budget an annual appropriation of
$300,000 beginning in FY2016 until the plans are complete; and authorize up to three additional
Full Time Employees (FTEs)within Comprehensive Planning to accomplish the updates.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
GOLDEN GATE AREA MASTER PLAN RESTUDY
1. PROJECT SPECIFICS:
Project Title: Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy
Number: n/a
County Staff, Project Manager: Mike Bosi, AICP, Planning and Zoning Director
County Staff,Assistant Project Manager:,
County Staff, GIS Support: Beth Yang,AICP, Principal Planner
Funding Source: Cost Center 111-148317
Commissioner Districts and Numbers: Countywide
2. PROJECT SCOPE of WORK:
The Golden Gate Area was previously subject to the regulations outlined in the County's Future Land Use
Element (FLUE). However, in 1991, the unique characteristics of the area resulted in adoption of a Master
Plan for Golden Gate, as a separate Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. This Master
Plan superseded former Objective 1, Policy 1.1, and Policy 1.3 of the FLUE. All other Goals, Objectives, and
Policies contained in the FLUE and all other Elements of the Growth Management Plan remain applicable to
the Golden Gate Area In addition, the Golden Gate Area Future Land Use Map will be used instead of the
County-Wide Future Land Use Map.
In April 1996, the Board of County Commissioners adopted the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) for
Collier County. As a result of the recommendations made in the EAR, Ordinance 91-15, which adopted the
original Golden Gate Area Master Plan,was repealed and a new Ordinance 97-64 was adopted.
In February of 2001, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to initiate a restudy of the Golden
Gate Area Master Plan. Accordingly, in June of 2001, Comprehensive Planning Section Staff requested that
the Board appoint an advisory committee, consisting of residents of Golden Gate City and Golden Gate
Estates, to aid Staff in the restudy process. The Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy Committee met on
over twenty (20) occasions, between June 2001 and June 2003, to consider proposed amendments to the
GGAMP, as well as other matters related to the Golden Gate Area All meetings were open to the public;
many of these meetings were well attended.
The restudy process was divided into two phases. The County transmitted Phase I amendments to the
Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) in April 2003. These amendments were adopted, as
Ordinance 2003-44, in September 2003. Phase II amendments were transmitted in June 2004. The Phase II
amendments were adopted in October 2004, as Ordinance 2004-71.
This plan includes three major sections:
The OVERVIEW section provides an introduction to Countywide and Golden Gate Area planning efforts.
The IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY places the Plan into effect. Strategies have been developed to address
land use, public facilities, transportation, rural character, emergency management and natural resources.
This section also includes the Goals, Objectives, and Policies, and the Golden Gate Area Future Land Use
Map.
The SUPPORT DOCUMENT outlines data and information used to develop the Implementation strategy,
including the Goals, Objectives, and Policies.

Since the adoption of the updated GGAMP in 2004, there have been twelve (12) amendments to the plan,
which suggest that the GGAMP is ready for a comprehensive review of the plan.
A. Location of Work: Growth Management Division (CIE/AUIR/LDC/Roads/Transit/Stormwater
Management/Coastal Zone); Public Utilities Division (Water/Wastewater/Solid Waste); Public Services
Division (Parks/Libraries); Bureau of Emergency Services Offices (EMS);Jail and Law Enforcement (Sheriff);
Administrative Services (Public Buildings) and Collier County School Board (Schools).
B. Customer: Board of County Commissioners (BCC)/Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC)/General
Public
C. Project Background: The purpose of this project is to amend the current (2003/4) Golden Gate Area
Master Plan, as part of an ongoing process by which the Master Plan is periodically revised. The project
involves a study of current conditions within the greater Golden Gate Area of Collier County, and the
development of updates, or amendments, to the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (an Element of the
Collier County Growth Management Plan) that reflect changed conditions since the previous update
(2003/4)through the public planning process.
D. QUALITY and EXPECTATIONS:
In 2003 and 2004 the County amended the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) based upon a series of
public planning meetings which spanned over a multi-year period. There have been numerous (12)
amendments to the GGAMP through the Growth Management Plan amendment process. Additionally, a
decade has passed since the last comprehensive review of the GGAMP. Both factors suggest that the
GGAMP is ripe for a comprehensive review.
The Golden Gate area is concentrated into two primary geographic areas of regulation, the Urbanized
Golden Gate City area and the numerous sub-districts, which comprise; and the rural Estates with the four
designated commercial neighborhood centers and the conditional use locational criteria. These two
geographies will require its own committee and separate public monthly meetings. It should be noted that
the 2001 restudy approached the effort in the same bifurcated manner.
