Agenda 05/26/2015 Item #11A 5/26/2015 11.A.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to seek direction regarding options for facilitating the upcoming Growth
Management Plan(GMP)Public Planning processes.
OBJECTIVE: To seek direction from the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) regarding
options for facilitating the upcoming Growth Management Plan (GMP) Public planning
processes.
CONSIDERATIONS: At the February 10, 2015 BCC public hearing, the BCC directed staff to
initiate the restudy of the four sub area plans/master plans within the Growth Management Plan
(GMP) east of County Road 951 (Rural Fringe Mixed Use District-RFMUD, Golden Gate Area
Master Plan-GGAMP, Rural Land Stewardship Area-RLSA and the Immokalee Area Master
Plan-IAMP),with the first being the RFMUD. Since that direction,budget allocations have been
provided to initiate the public planning process and Staff is in the process of retaining the
necessary employees to perform the task. Within the project management planning process, staff
had indicated the creation of an Ad Hoc Citizen Advisory Committee as one of the first steps to
the process, as provided in Exhibit "A" of the February 10, 2015 Executive Summary. Staff is
seeking further direction to identify the most effective oversight for the planning process.
Below are past Growth Management Planning Processes undertaken by the County in which an
Ad Hoc Citizen Advisory Committee was utilized to assist in guiding the effort:
• East of CR951 Build-out Study Phase III (Resolution No. 2009-38);
• Rural Lands Stewardship Area 5-year review(Resolution No. 2007-305);
• East of CR951 Build-out Study Phase II (Resolution No. 2006-181);
• Rural Fringe Area Oversight Committee, created to develop the original set of regulations
for the RFMUD;
• Eastern Lands Area Oversight Committee, created to develop the original set of
regulations for the RLSA.
Prior Public Planning efforts not utilizing an Ad Hoc Committee:
• The Master Mobility Plan(MIvIP) process, utilized extensive public outreach to allow for
the public to participate in the planning process.
As noted,the majority of past planning efforts have included the formation of an Ad Hoc Citizen
Oversight Committee, specific to the geographic planning area, but it is not a requirement for the
successful completion of the planning process. One of the advantages of the Ad Hoc Committee
approach is that the recommendations have the benefit of a third party review and not just a
compilation of staff perspectives.
Based upon the direction of the BCC to update the four sub area master plans within the Growth
Management Plan(GMP) east of County Road 951, staff has identified a third option regarding
the formation of a Growth Management Oversight Committee. This third option is based on the
recognition that all four planning updates are scheduled to run on an overlapping schedule and
Packet Page-189-
5/26/2015 11.A.
share common boundaries. The recognized need for each sub-effort to be coordinated with the
specifics of the other and the need for consistency within the regulatory approach employed by
each is suggestive of the potential benefit of a single overall plan area based Oversight
Committee overseeing the entire effort. The concept is similar to the Development Services
Advisory Committee (DSAC), which provides oversight and input to the issues within the
building and development regulatory codes.
The term of this Oversight Committee would be the expected time for the four planning
processes to reach completion, a four to five year time frame, and the composition is
recommended to be seven members, with a representative designated from each sub planning
area and three at large representatives. The Growth Management Oversight Committee would
meet on a regular basis, open to the public, and provide direction and input to staff on the
specifics of the public presentations of each planning effort, the future meeting topics and
consensus on appropriate regulatory changes. Their effort would be focused on consistency,
sustainability, and economic vitality.
It should be noted, that if the BCC concurs with staff to create the Growth Management
Oversight Committee to assist in the process, an Executive Summary and authorizing Resolution
will be placed on the following BCC agenda.
FISCAL IMPACT: The decision on the formation of an Ad Hoc Citizen or Growth
Management Oversight Committee to assist with the GMP planning process will not have a
direct fiscal impact,as the past committees have been non-compensated positions.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires a
majority vote for Board action. —JAK
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The amendments arrived upon through the GMP
planning process will be processed as GMP amendments and alter the current regulatory
environment provided for by the GMP, but the decision to associate an Ad Hoc Citizen or
Growth Management Oversight Committee with the process will not impact the GMP.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners provides direction on the
three options for facilitating the upcoming Growth Management Plan (GMP) Public planning
processes: 1) Extensive public involvement campaign with an overall coordinating Growth
Management Oversight Committee (Staff Recommendation); 2) Area specific Ad Hoc Advisory
Committees;or 3) Staff directed effort with an extensive public involvement campaign without a
committee.

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.
