Recommendation to provide direction regarding modification or elimination of Planning
Communities.
OBJECTIVE: For the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) to provide direction to either
modify Planning Community boundaries, eliminate Planning: Communities, or leave Planning,
Community boundaries as they presently_ exist.
CQNSfDEHAMN_S: Planning Communities, which comprise the entire unincorporated area.
of the County, were first established for Collier County's 1983 comprehensive plan. Their
boundaries were created using U.S. Census .geography from the 1984 Census. Planning
Communities were established because the county is so_ large and different areas disparate (e.g.
Immokalee vs. North Naples); these sub- county areas allow for better determining future
population, housing and development trends. Countywide averages could be misleading when
applied to particular sub- county areas, e.g. household income, educational attainment, persons
per household, occupancy /vacancy rates; conversely, data at sub - county levels can be more
meaningful and provide a more accurate "picture"') of a- given area. Establishing sub- county
planning districts is not unique to Collier County. For example, Lee County is divided into 22
planning communities.
In the mid to late 1980s, the Rural Estates Planning Community was split to create the present -
day Urban Estates and Rural Estates Planning Communities, resulting in twelve Planning
Communities (originally, there were eleven), and some of the rural area Planning Community
boundaries were adjusted. Later, boundary;changes were.made to refleetthe incorporation of the
City of Marco. Island (1997) and a subsequent annexation, and several annexations (and one de-
annexation) by the City of Naples. The map of existing Planning Communities is attached.
Data generated/prepared/compiled by Planning Communities and historically used by Planning
staff - and available for use by other County agencies, the Collier County School District,
businesses, non- profits, consultants, and general citizenry - includes population estimates and
projections, dwelling unit estimates and projections, commercial inventory, industrial inventory,
developed/undeveloped land, existing land use by category, etc. Some of this data is provided to
the School District to meet the requirements of an inter -local agreement (ILA) for certain, data to
be provided at the sub - county level; some is used for support information in the state- required
Evaluation and Appraisal Report of the GW, Growth Management Plan, (every 7 years); some
is used by planning consultants to prepare data in support of comprehensive plan amendment
petitions; some is used by non - profits and businesses in considering. expansion or relocation.
Though some of the above data is.also prepared at the Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) level,.-which
is or can be then aggregated into various geographies — including but not limited to Planning
Communities, Planning star does not prepare projections at the TAZ level, only estimates.
Eliminating Planning Communities would necessitate additional work to compile/generate data
by some other sub - county area, such as concurrency service areas, to comply with the School

District ILA requirements. Also, doing away with hernwould be a disservice to the public that �
uses this sub -cou my 4ata. While it is true that GIS technology allows for mo�c id generation
of data to 'di ll requests, it is believed that having, readily avail e - data' by 'Plarming
Commumidos - , the case -by -case ,request - f especial data to be � compilexi
whether the request comes from the. private sector ot other County agencies.
If 'there is a desire to re -draw Planning Community boundaries {the su� of revising the
boundaries was introduced during the 2011 Evaluation and Appraisal '=Dort . of the CAP._ and
generally endorsed by the BCC), doing so now as 2010 Censwdata-is.releasedwould be timely.
It may be desirable for any reconfiguration to allow for conversion of past Asia into the new
geography .so as to be able to make historical comparisons (trend analysis) Attached is one
example'of a revised d Planning Communities map.
To -newPlannng Community boundaries,an4 convert or manipulate le*ai,d,.ld
necessitate work efforts of existing Comprehensive Planning and GIS staff. The amount-of data -
conversion/manipulation -,what types of -data and bow far back in time== would: determine ►e
extent of the efforts .(total staff time) and rem to be expe xxted. As Plamting Comfy
boundaries are not political boundaries (other than necessarily .following City Limits) and have
no regulatory effect, rather are for the purpose of data compilation/g+enerabm and raportin&
there would seem to be only a limited need for public input. Therefore,:staff would suggest a
single public meeting to vet proposed Planning Community changes with interested padres, prick
to pr n#atiou to the BCC for review and approval. A pro ject mumagement pl
modification of Planing Community boundaries is attached_
