I had to do a snap shot of a PDF (do not have word version any more due to modification by CAO office who removed the word "OVERLAY" per our request), so 1 could not strike through that word. This needs to match the revised title as noted. RESOLUTION NO. 12- and then 2) We need the "entire" map as provided above to show under the RESOLUTION TITLE. The way it is now appears as though we are only amending Immokalee Area bolded, which is not correct. If this changes the size, so be it. Cordially, Marcia Marcia R.

CAPITAL !MPROVEME rT GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES [Revised text, page 2] GOAL: TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES CONCURRENT WITH NEW DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN OR EXCEED ADOPTED STANDARDS FOR LEVELS OF SERVICE. OBJECTIVE 1 (PUBLIC FACILITYLEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS): Identify and define types of public facilities, establish standards for levels of service for each such public facility, and determine what quantity of additional public facilities is needed in order to achieve and maintain the standards. Policy 1.1: [Revised text, page 2] The County shall establish standards for levels of service for public facilities, as follows: Public facilities are facilities which appear in other elements of this comprehensive plan, including arterial and collector roads, su - face water-- stormwater management systems, potable water systems, wastewater treatment systems, solid waste disposal facilities, parks and recreation facilities, and public school facilities. The standards for levels of service of County provided public facilities shall apply to development orders issued by the County, to the County's annual budget, and to the appropriate individual element of this comprehensive plan. The standards for levels of service of public facilities which are not County provided shall apply to development orders issued by the County and to the appropriate individual element of this comprehensive plan, but shall not apply to the County's annual budget. Public facilities shall include land, structures, the initial furnishings and equipment, design, permitting, and construction costs. Other "capital" costs, such as motor vehicles and motorized equipment, computers and office equipment, office furnishings, and small tools are considered in the County's annual budget, but such items are not "public facilities" for the purposes of the Growth Management Plan, or the issuance of development orders. Policy 1.2: [Revised text, page 2] The quantity of public facilities that is needed to eliminate existing deficiencies and to meet the needs of future growth shall be determined for each public facility by the following calculation: Q= (SxD) -I. Where: "Q" is the quantity of public facility needed, "S" is the standard for level of service, "D" is the demand, such as the population, and "I" is the inventory of existing facilities. Words underlined are added; words stFUGk through are deleted. TRANSMITTAL FINAL - BCC 4 -24 -12 ExhibitA Page _ I of-ala M a Exhibit "A" EAR -based GMP Amendments Capital Improvement Element — BCC Transmittal Hearing 3 -21 -12 A. The calculation will be used for existing demand in order to determine existing deficiencies. The calculation will be used for projected demand in order to determine needs of future growth. The estimates of projected demand will account for demand that is likely to occur from previously issued development orders as well as future growth. B. The Board of County Commissioners shall review all rezone petitions, SRA designation applications, conditional use petitions, and proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Element (FLUE), Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) or Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP) affecting the overall countywide density or intensity of permissible development, with consideration of their impact on both the variable "D" in the formula Q = (S x D) - I, and the overall County transportation system. The Board shall not approve any such petition or application which would directly access a deficient roadway segment or if it impacts an adjacent roadway segment that is deficient, or which significantly impacts either: (1) a deficient roadway segment or adjacent roadway segment; or (2) the seasonal population based upon the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Florida (BEBR) medium range growth rate population projections, for all public facilities, for the variable "D ", unless one of the three items listed below simultaneously occurs: (a)1. Specific mitigating stipulations are approved in conjunction with the rezone or SRA designation resolution, conditional use petition, or FLUE amendment, to restore or maintain the Level of Service on the impacted roadway segment; (1)2. The adopted population standard used for calculation of "Q" in the formula Q = (S ,x D) — I is amended based on appropriate relevant, appropriate and professionally accepted data and analysis; or, (E}3. The Schedule of Capital Improvements is updated to include any necessary projects that would support the additional public facility demand(s) created by the rezone, SRA designation resolution, conditional use petition, or amendment to the Future Land Use Element. C. Significant impact is hereby defined for Section B of this Policy as, an impact generating potential for increased countywide population greater than 2% of the population projections for parks, solid waste disposal, potable water, der— wastewater treatment, and drainage-- stormwater management facilities, or as generating a volume of traffic equal to or greater than 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume of an impacted roadway. D. There are three circumstances in which the standards for levels of service are not the exclusive determinant of need for a public facility: 1. Calculated needs for public facilities in coastal high hazard areas are subject to all limitations and conditions in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element and Future Land Use Elements of this Growth Management Plan.

Replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities, and repair, remodeling and renovation, will be determined by the Board of County Commissioners upon the recommendation of the County Manager. 3. Public facilities that provide levels of service in excess of the standards adopted in this Growth Management Plan may be constructed or acquired at any time as long as the following conditions are met: a. the facility does not make financially unfeasible any public facility of the same type that is needed to achieve or maintain the standards for levels of service adopted in this Growth Management Plan, and b. the facility does not contradict, limit or substantially change the goals, objectives and policies of any element of this Growth Management Plan. Any public facility that is determined to be needed as a result of any of the factors listed in Section B or Section D of this Policy shall be included in the regular Schedule of Capital Improvements contained in this Capital Improvement Element. All capital improvement projects for such public facilities shall be approved in the same manner as the projects that are identified according to the quantitative analysis described in Section A of this Policy. Population definitions as used in this Capital Improvement Element and other elements are provided below. Permanent Population is the population projection figure based on Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Florida (BEBR) medium range growth rate population projections. The population projection figure is then converted from April 1 to October 1, which is the beginning of the fiscal year for Collier County. Seasonal Population is the BEBR population figure (described above) converted to its October 1 figure, increased by 20% for all areas of the County to reflect the increase of seasonal part-time residents and visitors. Unincorporated Area Seasonal Population is. the seasonal population figure (described above) for unincorporated Collier County only, adjusted to represent how seasonal residents utilize certain park facilities differently. * ** * ** * ** * ** * ** text break * ** * ** * ** * ** * ** Policy 1.4: [Revised text, pages 4, 5] Public facility improvements are to be considered in the following order or priority: A. Replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities, including repair, remodeling and renovation of facilities that contribute to achieving or maintaining levels of service. B. New facilities that reduce or eliminate existing deficiencies in levels of service. Words underlined are added; words strusk- thraugq are deleted.

New facilities that provide the adopted levels of service for new growth during the next five fiscal years, as updated by the annual review of this Capital Improvement Element. In the event that the planned capacity of public facilities is insufficient to serve all applicants for development orders, the capital improvements will be scheduled in the following priority order to serve: 1. previously approved development orders permitting redevelopment, 2. previously approved development orders permitting new development, 3. new development orders permitting redevelopment, and 4. new development orders permitting new developments. D. Improvements to existing facilities, and new facilities that significantly reduce the operating cost of providing a service or facility. E. New facilities that exceed the adopted levels of service for new growth during the next five fiscal years by either: 1. providing excess public facility capacity that may be needed by future growth beyond the next five fiscal years, or 2. providing higher quality public facilities than are contemplated in the County's normal design criteria for such facilities. When further considering projects prioritized by this order, the higher priority shall be assigned to improvements designed to reduce or not increase greenhouse gas emissions through shortened vehicular trip lengths trips taken by another mode of transportation, or by other substantive means. Policy 1.5: [Revised text, pages 5, 6, 7] The standards for levels of service of public facilities shall be as follows: A. Roadways: 1. Arterials and collector roads: Level of Service indicated below on the basis of peak hour, traffic volume: Level of Service "E" on all six -lane roads: 2. Level of Service "D" peak hour on all other County and State arterial and collector roads not on the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIRS). B.

The regulations shall allow for the granting of a deviation by the appropriate review board after a public hearing, and for the granting of a deviation administratively. The County shall consider the amount and type of native vegetation and the presence of listed species in determining whether the granting of a deviation requires a public hearing, or may be granted administratively. The County may grant a deviation if- a. County, Federal or State agencies require that site improvements be located in areas which result in an inability to meet the provisions of this Policy, or b. On or off -site environmental conditions are such that the application of one or more provisions of this Policy is not possible or will result in a preserve area of lesser quality, or c. The strict adherence to these provisions will not allow for the implementation of other Plan policies that encourage beneficial land uses.

Preservation and Native Vegetation Retention Standards: a. Receiving Lands: A minimum of 40% of the native vegetation present, not to exceed 25% of the total site area shall be preserved. b. Neutral Lands: A minimum of 60% of the native vegetation present, not to exceed 45% of the total site area shall be preserved, except as provided in the North Belle Meade Overlay in the Future Land Use Element for Section 24, Township 49 South, Range 26 East. c. Non -NRPA Sending Lands: Calculated at the higher value of 80% of the native vegetation present, or as may otherwise be permitted under the Density Rating provisions of the FLUE; d. NRPA Sending Lands: Calculated at the higher value of 90% of the native vegetation present, or as may otherwise be permitted under the Density Blending provisions of the FLUE. e. Provisions a. through d. above shall also be consistent with the wetland protection policies set forth under CCME Objective 6.2. f. In order to ensure reasonable use and to protect the private property rights of owners of smaller parcels of land within lands designated Rural Fringe Mixed Use District on the Future Land Use Map, including nonconforming lots of record which existed on or before June 22, 1999, for lots, parcels or fractional units of land or water equal to or less than five (5) acres in size, native vegetation clearing shall be allowed, at 20% or 25,000 square feet of the lot or parcel or fractional unit, whichever is greater, exclusive of any clearing necessary to provide for a 15- foot wide access drive up to 660 feet in length. For lots and parcels greater than 5 acres but less than 10 acres, up to 20% of the parcel may be cleared. This allowance shall not be considered a maximum clearing allowance where other provisions of this Plan allow for greater clearing amounts. These clearing limitations shall not prohibit the clearing of brush or under - story vegetation within 200 feet of structures in order to minimize wildfire fuel sources. g. Within Receiving and Neutral lands where schools and other public facilities are co- located on a site, the native vegetation retention requirement shall be 30% of the native vegetation present, not to exceed 25% of the site. (1) For the purpose of this policy, "native vegetation" is defined as a vegetative community having 25% or more canopy coverage or highest existing vegetative strata of native plant species. The vegetation retention requirements specified in this policy are calculated on the amount of "native vegetation" that conforms to this definition. (2) The preservation of native vegetation shall include canopy, under -story and ground cover, emphasizing the largest contiguous area possible, which may include connection to offsite preserves. The purpose for identifying the largest contiguous area is to provide for a core area that has the greatest potential for wildlife habitat by reducing the interface between the preserve area and development which decreases the conflicts from other land uses. Criteria for determining the dimensional standards of the preserve are to be set out in the Land Development Code.

The final determination of permitted density via implementation of this Density Rating System is made by the Board of County Commissioners through an advertised public hearing process (rezone or Stewardship Receiving Area designation). 1. The Density Rating System is applied in the following manner: [Revised text, page 48] a. Within the applicable Urban Designated Areas, a base density of 4 residential dwelling units per gross acre may be allowed, though not an entitlement. This base level of density may be adjusted depending upon the location and characteristics of the project. For purposes of calculating the eligible number of dwelling units for a project (gross acreage multiplied by eligible number of dwelling units per acre), the total number of dwelling units may be rounded up by one unit if the dwelling unit total yields a fraction of a unit .5 or greater. Acreage to be used for calculating density is exclusive of: the commercial and industrial portions of a project, except where authorized in a Subdistrict, such as the Orange Blossom Mixed -Use Subdistrict; and, mixed residential and commercial uses as provided for in the C -1 through C -3 zoning districts in the Collier County Land Development Code; and, portions of a project for land uses having an established equivalent residential density in the Collier County Land Development Code. b.

This Density Rating System only applies to residential dwelling units. This Density Rating System is not applicable to accessory dwellings or accessory structures that are not intended and/or not designed and/or not authorized for permanent occupancy, and is not applicable to accessory dwellings or accessory structures intended for rental or other commercial use; such accessory dwellings and structures include guest houses, servants quarters, mother -in -law's quarters, cabanas, guest suites, and the like. e.

ESTATES DESIGNATION A. Estates — Mixed Use District 3. Conditional Uses Subdistrict Various types of conditional uses are permitted in the Estates zoning district within the Golden Gate Estates area. In order to control the location and spacing of new conditional uses, one of the following four sets of criteria shall be met: a) Essential Services Conditional Use Provisions: Those Essential Services Conditional Uses, as identified within Section 2.01.03 G of the Collier County Land Development Code, may be allowed anywhere within the Estates Zoning District, except as prohibited in certain Neighborhood Centers, and are defined as: • electric or gas generating plants, • effluent tanks, • major re -pump stations, • sewage treatment plants, including percolation ponds, • hospitals and hospices, • water aeration or treatment plants, •, governmental facilities (except for those Permitted Uses identified in Section 2.01.03 of the Land Development Code), • public water supply acquisition, withdrawal, or extraction facilities, and • public safety service facilities, and other similar facilities. Provision Assessment: This provision, in varying iterations, has existed in the GGAMP since its adoption in 1991 and remains appropriate. However, the LDC reference and/or list of uses may not encompass all essential services, e.g. communication towers which are listed in LDC Sec. 2.01.03 G., Sec. 5.05.09, and in various zoning districts. Additionally, the reference to the Estates zoning district fails to capture all zoning districts found in the Golden Gate Estates area, e.g. P, Public Use zoning at Max Hasse Park. The County recommends revising the LDC reference and/or list of essential services uses to encompass all essential services uses relevant to the Golden Gate Estates area, and expanding the referenced zoning district listed to encompass all relevant zoning districts in Golden Gate Estates and/or adding reference to the Estates Designation. * ** * ** * ** * ** * ** text break * ** * ** * ** * ** * ** Words underlined are added; words dough are deleted.

ESTATES DESIGNATION B. Estates — Commercial District 3. Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict Recognizing the unique development pattern and characteristics of surrounding land uses, the Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict has been designated on the Golden Gate Area Future Land Use Map. The Subdistrict is comprised of the following properties: Tract 71, Golden Gate Estates, Unit 23; and the East 165 feet of Tract 54, Golden Gate Estates, Unit 23. See Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict Map. a) The Criteria for the Subdistrict are as follows: • All commercial development is encouraged to be in the form of a PUD. • Projects directly abutting Estates zoned property shall provide, at a minimum, a 75 -foot buffer of retained native vegetation in which no parking or water management uses are permitted; except that, when abutting conditional uses no such buffer is required. • Shared parking shall be required with adjoining developments whenever possible. b) Limitation of Uses - Uses shall be limited to the following: • Automobile Service Station; • Barber & Beauty Shops; • Convenience Stores; • Drug Stores; • Food Markets; • Hardware Stores; • Laundries - Self Service Only; • Post Offices and Professional Offices; • Repair Shops - Radio, TV, Small Appliances and Shoes; • Restaurants, including fast food restaurants but not drive -in restaurants • Shopping Center; • Veterinary Clinics with no outside kenneling. Provision Assessment: The specific list of uses in this subdistrict has existed in the GGAMP since its adoption in 1991 and was taken from a PUD approved prior to 1991. On April 14, 2009, the BCC approved an Appeal of a Zoning Verification Letter (Resolution 2009 -99) having the effect of allowing all uses of the C -2 zoning district in the LDC at that time, under the term "shopping center."

On January 31, 2011, the BCC adopted the 2011 Collier County EAR through Resolution #11 -24, which was subsequently found sufficient by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) on April 12, 2011. Within the adopted EAR a number of Goals, Objectives and Policies of the various Elements of the GMP were designated for modification. Through a comprehensive series of workshops and public hearings with the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) and the Planning Commission (CCPC) the proposed changes have been crafted as amendments to the GMP. The overall guiding principal applied to the drafting process was to enhance the existing growth management regulatory environment with the greatest degree of flexibility, while achieving the goals of the individual elements. The majority of the proposed changes to the plan are modifications of existing Objectives and Policies, with a minor number of new additions. Below is the list of new Objectives and Policies, per Element with a short summary of the additions: Transportation Element — One new Objective and one new policy that directs the County to explore the option of developing a stand -alone Transit Element; Solid Waste Sub - Element — Seven new policies which seek to improve the efficiency and techniques for waste reduction; Housing Element — One new Objective and five Policies focusing on encouraging energy efficiency within housing construction and six new policies to better identify the need for affordable housing through indexing, replacing the previous requirement for a set number of new or rehabilitated units; Conservation and Coastal Management Element — One new Policy relating to the development of a saltwater monitoring program and one Policy to protect working waterfronts; Future Land Use Element Map Series — Two new maps are created: Coastal High Hazard Area Map, and Coastal High Hazard Area Comparison Map (the countywide Future Land Use Map already identifies the CHHA — these two maps provide greater detail); Economic Element — Two new policies to reflect the coordinated economic development activities of the various agencies involved. There are two policies in which staff is seeking BCC direction, in that there is a disagreement between the staff recommendation and the CCPC recommendation relating to the CCME. Policies 10. 1.5 and 10.1.6, relate to the sitting of marinas and water dependant uses and additional requirements when the proposed development destroys marine wetlands. The CCPC is recommending that the policies, with slight 98 modifications, are to be retained, in that they provide the County an extra degree of regulatory authority aside from that which is differed to the State on marina sitting issues. The staff's position is that the policies are ambiguous and therefore have never been applied, rendering them essentially non - effective. For the specifics of the issue, please consult the executive summary and the CCME portion under Tab Four of the EAR -based Amendment packet. In addition to the Executive summary, within the EAR -based amendments packet is Exhibit, "A". Exhibit "A" represents the amendments as revised by the CCPC and recommended for BCC approval from the March 6, 2012 public hearing. Additionally, Tab Four of the packet represents the amendments with single strike through and underlines to represent staff and/or EAC recommendations and double strike through and underline representing modifications directed by the CCPC. These two documents in concert provide the blueprint for the final amendments as proposed by the CCPC. Based upon the extensive time spent in review with the EAC and the CCPC, staffs intention for the April 24t°, BCC Transmittal hearing is to provide a general overview of the EAR process and a summary of the EAR - based amendments, rather than an Element by Element presentation. If it is the desire of any of the Commissioners to have staff provide an individual briefing prior to the hearing or a full presentation of any or all of the individual Elements at the hearing, please indicate to the County Manager which Element is being requested for a full presentation by 20`h of April and staff will modify the presentation as requested. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 9 B .� Recommendation to approve Proposed Evaluation and Appraisal Report -Based Amendments to the Collier County Growth Management Plan, Ordinance 89 -05, as Amended, for transmittal to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) for review and Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) response. [Transmittal Hearing] OBJECTIVE: For the Board of County Commissioners to review the proposed Evaluation and Appraisal Report-Based Growth Management Plan amendments and consider approving them for Transmittal to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and other agencies for their preliminary review for compliance with Florida Statutes. CONSIDERATIONS: Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, also known as the "Community Planning Act" (prev., the "Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act "), requires all local governments within the State of Florida to maintain comprehensive planning programs based upon an adopted local government comprehensive plan. As part of this process, the local government must monitor changing conditions and must use this information to guide periodic amendments to the local comprehensive plan a/k/a growth management plan (GMP). The periodic amendment process, which occurs once every seven years, as described in Section 163.3191, F.S., as amended in 2011 (by section 20 of Florida HB 7207, also known as chapter 2011- 139, Laws of Florida (2011)) is a two -phase process. It begins with the preparation, by the local government, of an Evaluation & Appraisal Report (EAR). The EAR evaluates the performance of the various Elements of the local government comprehensive plan since the previous EAR -based amendment process. It assesses the successes and failures of the various Goals, Objectives, Policies, and programs included within the local comprehensive plan, and it provides recommendations for necessary changes. Additionally, the EAR is the primary means by which the local plan can respond to changes in federal, state or regional planning requirements. The recommendations contained in the EAR become the basis of proposed amendments to the local government comprehensive plan, the second phase in the amendment process. Collier County's first EAR was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on July 16, 1996. The subsequent EAR -based amendments were adopted on October 18, 1997. The second EAR, which reviewed the performance of Collier County's Growth Management Plan (GMP) from October 1997 to July 2003, was adopted on July 27, 2004. The third EAR, which reviewed the performance of the GMP from July 2004 through 2010, was adopted by the BCC on January 31, 2011. The then Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), which had oversight for comprehensive plans, amendments, and EARS for local governments, found the 2011 EAR sufficient on April 12, 2011. The amendments that are the subject of this Executive Summary are limited in scope primarily to those recommended in the EAR. Though not necessarily recommended by specific reference in the EAR, general updating and word - smithing ( "housecleaning ") amendments are allowed as part of this amendment process; these include the wholesale removal of references to Rule 9J -5 of Florida Administrative Code (FA. C.) and properly referencing applicable sections of Chapter 163 of Florida Statute made necessary by the State's adoption of Florida HB 7207, also known as chapter 2011 -139, Laws of Florida (2011), updating -1- Evaluation and Appraisal Report-Based Amendments to the Collier County Growth Management Plan Transmittal Executive Summary ordinance designation numbers , revising/correcting g overnment agency names, 7efRatting, etc. [Sidenote: with the adoption of HB 7207, the "R " in the "EAR" process now stands for "Review" rather than "Report".] Within each [Exhibit "A "] Element provided in the binder, Goals and Objectives may appear, whether or not they are recommended for change. Where a Goal or Objective itself is recommended for change, it is accompanied by a [bracketed notation] indicating the nature of such change and its present page location in the Element for reference. Goals and Objectives also appear within each [Exhibit "A "] Element simply to provide context where changes have been directed to subsequent policies, but not to the Goals or Objectives themselves. As noted, additional detail related to the proposed modifications may be found in the adopted EAR Assessment and Recommendations report included for each Element in this binder. A notable difference of the presently proposed EAR -based amendments from the amendments recommended within the EAR is found in the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP). During the EAR transmittal and adoption hearings, a number of initially- recommended changes were withdrawn from consideration, with the suggestion that they be deferred until taken up again under a comprehensive re -study of the GGAMP. These withdrawn changes will remain unaddressed in the short term, until the BCC directs staff to initiate the re- study. It should be noted that at the January 25, 2011 BCC public hearing, the BCC directed staff to delay the re -study and reconsider the question at a later date. Another difference is found in the Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP). The IAMP necessitates a map change to reflect the revised boundaries of the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System. Interim measures are being applied to this area until the Immokalee Area Master Plan is updated — by way of a separate GMP amendment. The CCPC recommends the interim requirement of applying Policy 6.1.2.b of the CCME to the existing Lake Trafford Camp Keais Strand System. This interim requirement is the RFMUD Neutral Lands native vegetation retention requirement of 60 percent, not to exceed 45 percent preservation of the total site area. The CCPC decision was based on staff's opinion that the 60 percent vegetation retention requirement is what was intended in Policy 6.2.5 of the CCME and what staff applies today. This route short- circuits an official interpretation of the GMP and avoids any takings claims as the CCPC is not changing the preservation requirement, just clarifying a possible ambiguity. If County staff or the CCPC desire to increase the retention requirement beyond 60 percent, then it must be done by a GMP amendment and LDC amendment with incentives in order to avoid a Bert Harris or takings claim. One additional difference of the presently proposed EAR -based amendments from the amendments recommended within the EAR surrounds the County's Master Mobility Plan (MMP). The proposed MMP and the potential policy and objective recommendations remain under review. All GMP amendments generated by the MMP will be processed in a stand -alone GMP amendment cycle. These EAR -based GMP amendments, as noted, are affected by the adoption of HB 7207, also known as chapter 2011 -139, Laws of Florida (2011), which took place after the January 2011 BCC adoption of the EAR, but prior to the preparation of these materials. Most notable of these effects will be the -2- Evaluation and Appraisal Report-Based Amendments to the Collier County Growth Management Plan Transmittal Executive Summary 9 wholesale removal of references to Rule 9J -5 of the Florida Administrative Code (Ty. C.) from the Elements and Sub - Elements of the GMP. HB 7207 repealed all of Rule 9J -5 and moved approximately one - quarter of its provisions into [Chapter 163 ofJ Florida Statutes (F.S.), or into other regulations. Remnants of Rule 9J -5 will continue to be used for technical assistance and the County may eventually choose to incorporate certain parts of the defunct Rule into the GMP. The proposed EAR -based GMP amendments are not affected, however, by the recent adoption of HB 7207, also known as chapter 2011 -139, Laws of Florida insofar as the State agencies' amendment review process and timetable. Plan amendments based on an Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) have not been expedited by the new legislation or law, as have some other processes subject to State review and oversight. The proposed EAR -based GMP amendments will continue to follow the traditional review process, including the full review and assessment period given to the Division of Community Planning (DCP) in the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) that its predecessor, the Department of Community Affairs, enjoyed. The adoption of HB 7207 has affected the requirements of the earlier - adopted HB 697, regarding greenhouse gas emissions, and energy efficiency and conservation. While no longer statutorily required, the Objectives and Policies within the EAR for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving energy already proposed for change are retained. Their promotion is essential to encourage energy efficient land use patterns and discourage urban sprawl through transportation and conservation strategies, particularly the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. These strategies associated with transportation, land use and conservation are still relevant to the County and should be strongly contemplated to remain. Two new Objectives and 23 new Policies are proposed in these amendments, as follows: Solid Waste Sub - Element: seven new Policies (2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 3.5); Transportation Element: one new Objective - Policy pairing (Obj. 13, 13.1); Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME): two new Policies (3.1.5, 10.1.2,); Housing Element: one new Objective (Obj. 9) and eleven new Policies (1. 1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.7, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, and 9.5), and, Economic Element: two new Policies (3.15, 4.1). Additionally, two new maps are created: Coastal High Hazard Area Map, and Coastal High Hazard Area Comparison Map (the countywide Future Land Use Map already identifies the CHHA — these two maps provide greater detail). The Collier County BCC adopted its third Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) on January 31, 2011, establishing the basis for these proposed amendments. The only notable deviations from the direction provided by the EAR are the following: FLUE Item Not Previously Part of EAR -based GMPAs The [availability oJ] Early Entry TDR Bonus Credits associated with the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Severance Application process was last extended until March 27, 2012, the deadline ending at close of business or 5:00 p.m., March 27, 2012. All applications submitted prior to the deadline will be processed per application requirements, as the amendments will not become effective until after final approval of the Adopted 2011 EAR -based GMP amendments — sometime later this fall /winter of 2012. The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District: Sending Lands provision B.1.C.6, of the FLUE is introduced and will be considered for Adoption to extend the Early Entry TDR Bonus to be -3- Evaluation and Appraisal Report -Based Amendments to the Collier County Growth Management Plan Transmittal Executive Summary 9B available for a period of ten years after the adoption of the LDC amendment implementing this provision, or until September 27, 2015. IAMP Item Not Previously Part of EAR -based GMPAs The Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System is presently identified on the Immokalee Area Master Plan (IA1V>P) Future Land Use Map. This item would amend that Map to accurately depict the boundaries of those wetlands, as identified through staff analysis of more recent data, and to change the name in the map legend to correlate with that listed in the COME. (Refer to CCME support data and analysis located behind TAB 4 of the Transmittal booklet.) Amendments Commentary: A final set of policies contained in the Housing Element and the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) were presented at the CCPC Transmittal hearing continued to March 1 and 6 with the CCPC, mostly agreeing with staff. The exceptions are CCME Policies 10.1.5 and 10.1.6. CCME Policies 10.1.5 & 10.1.6 (re: development of marinas and other water - related and water - dependent uses in marine wetlands) Staff maintains its recommendation to delete Policies 10.1.5 and 10.1.6 from the CCME. They are difficult to implement as there are no specific criteria in the CCME or Land Development Code, and certain terms, such as "destruction of mangroves" and "providing for general public use" are not defined. As written, the Policies would apply to all water - dependent and water - related uses that propose to destroy marine wetlands, including waterfront residential development. Marine wetlands are already regulated by State and Federal agencies, including the requirement to mitigate for impacts to mangroves and other marine wetlands to insure no net loss of wetland function; Because of this mitigation requirement, the County staff view is that these wetlands have not been "destroyed ". Therefore the threshold to implement the Policies has not occurred. Further explanation and justification of staff's recommendation is contained in the "Consolidated Staff Report" to the CCPC, beginning on page 25. The CCPC recommendation to retain Policies 10.1.5 and 10.1.6 would allow the County to address these issues and develop the specific criteria needed to implement these Policies. The lack of clear direction provided by terms used in the Policies, such as "destruction of mangroves" and "providing for general public use ", are not considered impediments, but provides opportunities for — and places the responsibility on — the developer who would destroy marine wetlands. In this manner, these Policies are thought to augment and compliment any State or Federal regulations at the local level. FLUE & CCME (re: CHHA boundary revisions and native vegetation retention standards) The EAR calls for the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) boundary to be revised in accordance with the latest modeling from the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council. The boundary contracts in -4- Evaluation and Appraisal Report-Based Amendments to the Collier County Growth Management Plan Transmittal Executive Summary 9B some areas and expands in others, but overall more properties fall within the CHHA. The EAR also provides for the Density Rating System, which is used to determine eligible residential density for most Urban area projects, to be revised to: 1) eliminate the Traffic Congestion Area (TCA) and associated I dwelling unit per acre (DU /A) density reduction from the eligible base density of 4 DU /A for properties lying within the TCA; 2) adopt a I DU /A reduction factor for properties lying within the CHHA (with one exception, the proposed CHHA lies seaward of the TCA, thus fewer properties would be subject to this density reduction factor); 3) replace reference to the TCA with reference to the CHHA for the Roadway Access and Proximity to Activity Center (density bands) bonuses (result: more properties eligible for these bonuses); and, 4) prohibit application of the Conversion of Commercial Zoning and Affordable - Workforce Housing bonuses within the CHHA (result: fewer properties eligible for these bonuses). As noted in number 4 above, fewer properties would be eligible for certain density bonuses, and as noted in number 2 above, there are some properties that would newly become subject to a [CHHA] density reduction factor. The CCPC expressed concerns about loss of property rights for both instances, and recommended the two bonuses remain applicable within the CHHA and that the density reduction factor not be applied to those properties newly subject to it. Also, for those properties that would newly be within the CHHA, they would be subject to the existing CCME Policy 6. 1.1 regarding native vegetation retention requirements — which are more stringent within the CHHA for properties developed as residential or mixed use and between 2.5 and <20 acres in size. Based upon concern over impact upon property rights, the CCPC recommended these properties remain subject to the less stringent vegetation retention requirements, and recommended a map be adopted that would identify these properties (the proposed Coastal High Hazard Area Comparison Map). FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact, other than the costs associated with legal advertisements, results from the Transmittal of these GMP amendments to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity for their review and comment. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: These GMP amendments have been prepared primarily based upon the 2011 EAR. Transmittal of these amendments to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and other agencies will trigger their review of these amendments and subsequent preparation and rendering of an Objections, Recommendations and Comment (ORC) Report. This ORC Report will be considered as Collier County holds Adoption hearings on these amendments. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: These EAR -based GMP amendments have been prepared in accordance with the requirements and procedures contained in Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. Per Collier County Resolution No. 97 -431, a simple majority vote of the Board is necessary for approval at the Transmittal hearing of a Growth Management Plan amendment. [HFAC] EAC RECOMMENDATION: The Environmental Advisory Council reviewed these GMP amendments on December 7, 2011. Their recommendations have been incorporated into the amendments as they appear in the Exhibit "A "s for the Conservation & Coastal Management Element, Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Element, and, Drainage Sub - Element (Stormwater Management). Also, the EAC forwarded five recommendations outside the scope of the EAR recommendations, as follows: -5- Evaluation and Appraisal Report -Based Amendments to the Collier County Growth Management Plan Transmittal Executive Summary B 1. Drainage Sub - Element, Policy 3.1: Provide alternative direction in or a er Policy 1.3 for identifying properties [such as Pepper Ranch and the Caracara property] where Conservation Collier or other comparable public entity could apply, or bank, wetland mitigation and panther habitat mitigation credits for County projects; this would be accomplished with revising 1.3 or with a new Policy stating, "Municipal entities may use Conservation Collier lands, such as but not limited to, Pepper Ranch, Caracara Prairie and other properties as acquired, for wetland and wildlife mitigation ". 2. Drainage Sub - Element: Provide direction in or after Policy 6.3 for reducing discharge rates to pre - development levels, as found in the Watershed Management Plan, as a return to compliance. A new Goal after Policy 6.3 may be needed to introduce a new subsequent Policy. 3. Conservation & Coastal Management Element, Policy 4.1.3: Revise Policy to require the "determination" of actual, as opposed to permitted, agricultural pumpage; and, add the phrase "if and when available ". Policy to read as follows, "The County in coordination with the South Florida Water management District shall work with the agricultural community to devise a method for determining actual agricultural pumpage, when and if available." 4. Conservation & Coastal Management Element, Objective 7.1 and/or Policy 7.1.2: Consideration should be given to assuming more of the responsibilities for listing endangered and protected species and issuing "take" permits, rather than deferring to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission; this would be accomplished with revising Objective 7.1. and/or Policy 7.1.2 to add no. 4 that may read, "Within a vear the Countv shall reassess taking control of the process of take permits for listed species. currentiv done by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission." 5. Conservation & Coastal Management Element: Add a new policy or revise an existing policy to address low impact development (LID) practices and policies; this would be accomplished with the following text, "Within two years from the adoption of this policy, the County shall publish a Low Impact Development (LID) Manual and enact LID land development code regulation to reduce stormwater runoff from all private and public developments and redevelopments." It is at the discretion of the BCC whether or not to initiate these GMP amendments as part of a regular amendment cycle. CCPC RECOMMENDATION: The Collier County Planning Commission held their required public hearing January 26, February 16, March 1 and March 6, 2012. The CCPC voted 5 -0 to forward the EAR -based Growth Management Plan amendments to the Board of County Commissioners with a recommendation to approve as presented in the Exhibit "A" for each element or sub - element and transmit to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. Speakers: There were two speakers (on 1/26), who expressed their concerns over certain aspects of the recommended EAR -based amendments, while being generally in support. These speakers addressed items in the CCME (marinas and marine wetlands), FLUE (CHHA boundary revisions and native vegetation preservation standards) and Housing Element (affordable housing). There were three -6- Evaluation and Appraisal Report -Based Amendments to the Collier County Growth Management Plan Transmittal Executive Summary 9B speakers (on 3/6), who explained their preferences for staff recommended versions of certain amendments, particularly in the Housing Element and the CCME. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve these EAR -based GMP amendments for Transmittal to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and other agencies as recommended by the CCPC, and provide direction upon the deletion or retention of Policies 10.1.5 & 10.1.6 of the CCME.

[TRANSMITTAL HEARINGS] INTRODUCTION The contents of the accompanying binder comprise the proposed Growth Management Plan amendments based on the 2011 Evaluation & Appraisal Report (EAR) for Planning Commission (CCPC) consideration and recommendation to carry forward to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). In order to consolidate materials in a convenient manner for the BCC, this staff report contains the pertinent parts of individually distributed documents such as staff reports, memorandums, summaries and other handouts, as previously provided to the CCPC on separate occasions /as separate documents. -1- Comprehensive Planning Section Land Development Services Department Consolidated Staff Report for Transmittal Consideration of EAR -based GMP Amendments v 98 • Memo dated February 21 — prepared for March 1 CCPC hearing. • Supplemental element revisions' handout dated March 1 — prepared for carryover /continued March 1 CCPC hearing (FLUE —DW — extending TDR EE bonus) [note: Consent Agenda Exhibit "A" included color maps in FLUE]. • Supplemental element revisions' handout dated March 1 — prepared for carryover /continued March 1 CCPC hearing (HE — MM — identifying specific department; describing housing standards). • Supplemental element revisions' handouts dated March 1 — prepared for carryover /continued March 1 CCPC hearing (CCME — MM — a 6. 1.1 or 10.1.5/10.1.6 item — reviewing watershed management plans; inspecting stormwater systems; other minor edits). • Memo dated February 7 — prepared for carryover /continued February 16 CCPC hearing (cover to exhibit). • Exhibit "A" — prepared for the carryover /continued February 16 CCPC hearing (containing January 26 CCPC hearing recommendations and staff recommendations derived from same). • Memo dated January 19 — prepared for the January 26 CCPC hearing (HE & FLUE — DW — providing introduction to, and explanation of, maps and figures as support documents and exhibits. • Staff Report dated January 26 — prepared for CCPC hearing of same date (cover to Summm of Changes. • Summary of Changes — showing revisions to GMP elements recommended at CCPC workshop and EAC Transmittal hearing, (and staff recommendations derived from same) in addition to or modifying adopted 2011 EAR -based recommended amendments. • Summary of Recommended Changes — showing adopted 2011 EAR -based recommended amendments (staff recommendations derived from Assessment of the Successes & Shortcomings and Recommendations). BACKGROUND Florida Statutes require all local governments within the State to maintain comprehensive planning programs based on an adopted local government comprehensive plan. As part of this planning requirement, local governments must monitor changing conditions and use this information to guide periodic amendments to their local comprehensive plans. Within Collier County the local comprehensive plan is the Growth Management Plan (GMP), originally adopted by Ordinance No. 89- 05. The periodic amendment process, which occurs once every seven years, as described in Chapter 163.3191, F.S., is a two -phase process. The first phase is preparation and adoption of the Evaluation & Appraisal Report (EAR). The EAR evaluates the performance of the various elements of the local government comprehensive plan since the previous EAR -based amendment process. The EAR also assesses the Goals, Objectives, and Policies included within the GMP for their successes and shortcomings and provides recommendations for necessary changes. Additionally, the EAR is the primary means by which the local plan can respond to changes in federal, state or regional planning requirements. Recommendations contained in the EAR have become the basis of proposed amendments to the local government comprehensive plan, the second — and present -- phase of the process. These EAR -based amendments, as reviewed by the EAC and the CCPC, subsequently adopted by the BCC and found in compliance with Chapter 163, F.S., become part of the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the GMP. -2- Comprehensive Planning Section Land Development Services Department Consolidated Staff Report for Transmittal Consideration of EAR -based GMP Amendments 9 n 1, As noted, the proposed amendments inside the binder are based on the direction provided within the EAR as adopted by the BCC on January 31, 2011, particularly the Assessment of the Successes & Shortcomings and Recommendations. Following the BCC adoption of the EAR, the DCA conducted a sufficiency review and determined that the EAR was sufficient, as defined in Subsection 163.191(2) Florida Statutes, and that the County may proceed with the adoption of EAR -based amendments. Additionally, with the passage of HB 7207 in 2011 — which drastically overhauled the process and requirements of local government comprehensive plans — the CCPC is being asked to provide recommendations on policy and objective changes that had been proposed with the adopted EAR, but no longer are required by the State. An example of this situation is the abandonment of green house gas reduction and energy efficiency requirements previously mandated through HB 697 in 2008. Notwithstanding this changing regulatory environment, Staff has prepared the directed EAR -based amendments. The amendments proposed herein are based on the adopted 2011 EAR; and as such, the EAR is the data and analysis in support of the amendments. Not included in proposed EAR -based amendments is the Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP), which will be processed as a separate GMP- amendment, the timing of which is being determined by the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). Additionally, the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) amendments, generated at the conclusion of the RLSA 5 -year review and designated within the EAR as the Overlay's assessment, are not included in these EAR -based amendments. The RLSA amendments were directed by the BCC at their December 13, 2011 public hearing to be processed in a cycle separate from the EAR -based amendments. STAFF ANALYSIS These amendments are limited in scope to those recommended in the EAR. Though not necessarily recommended by specific reference in the EAR, general updating and word - smithing ( "housecleaning ") amendments are allowed as part of this amendment process; these include the wholesale removal of references to Rule 9J -5 of Florida Administrative Code (F.A. C.) made necessary by the State's adoption of HB 7207, properly referencing applicable sections of Chapter 163 of Florida Statute, updating ordinance numbers, revising /correcting government agency names, reformatting, etc. [Sidenote: with the adoption of HB 7207, the "R " in the "EAR" process now stands for "Review" rather than "Report".] Within each Element provided in the binder, all Goals and Objectives of the respective Element appear, whether or not they are recommended for change. The Goals and Objectives provide context where changes have been directed for subsequent policies. Where a Goal or Objective itself is recommended for change, it is accompanied by a [bracketed notation] indicating the nature of such change and its present page location in the Element for reference. As noted, additional detail related to the proposed modifications may be found in the adopted EAR Assessment and Recommendations report included for each Element in this binder. Where a Goal or Objective is not recommended for change, it is accompanied by a [bracketed notation] simply to provide context for the subsequent policies that are recommended for change. A notable difference of the presently proposed EAR -based amendments from the amendments recommended within the EAR is found in the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP). During the EAR transmittal and adoption hearings, a number of initially recommended changes were withdrawn from consideration, with the suggestion that they be deferred until taken up again under a -3- Comprehensive Planning Section Land Development Services Department Consolidated Staff Report for Transmittal Consideration of EAR -based GMP Amendments 9B comprehensive re -study of the GGAMP. These initially recommended changes will remain unaddressed in the short term, until the BCC directs staff to initiate the re- study. It should be noted that at the January 25, 2011 BCC public hearing, the BCC directed staff to delay the re -study and reconsider the question at a later date. One additional difference of the presently proposed EAR -based amendments from the amendments recommended within the EAR surrounds the County's Master Mobility Plan (MMP). The proposed MMP and the potential policy and objective recommendations have not been adopted along a timeline initially anticipated by the EAR, and remain under review. All GMP amendments generated by the MMP will be processed in a stand -alone GMP amendment cycle. These EAR -based GMP amendments, as noted, are affected by the adoption of HB 7207, which took place after the January 2011 BCC adoption of the EAR, but prior to the preparation of these materials. Most notable of these effects will be the wholesale removal of references to Rule 9J -5 of the Florida Administrative Code (FA. C.) from the Elements and Sub - Elements of the GMP. HB 7207 repealed all of Rule 9J -5 and moved approximately one - quarter of its provisions into [Chapter 163 ofj Florida Statutes (FS.), or incorporated into other regulation. Not every reference to the newly legislated locations for these comprehensive planning provisions is currently understood, given the adoption of HB 7207. Remnants of Rule 9J -5 will continue to be used for technical assistance and the County may choose to incorporate certain parts of the defunct Rule into the GMP. These EAR -based GMP amendments are not affected, however, by the recent adoption of HB 7207 insofar as the State agencies' amendment review process and timetable. Plan amendments based on an Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) have not been expedited by the new legislation, as have some other processes subject to State review and oversight. These EAR -based GMP amendments will continue to follow the traditional review process, including the full review and assessment period given to the Division of Community Planning (DCP) in the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) that its predecessor, the Department of Community Affairs, enjoyed. As noted, the adoption of HB 7207 has affected the requirements of the earlier - adopted HB 697, regarding greenhouse gas emissions, and energy efficiency and conservation. While no longer statutorily required, the Policies and Objectives within the EAR being proposed for change are retained. Their promotion is essential to encourage energy efficient land use patterns and discourage urban sprawl through transportation and conservation strategies, particularly the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. These strategies associated with transportation, land use and conservation are still relevant to the County and should be strongly contemplated to remain. Organization of Proposed EAR -based Amendments The proposed 2011 EAR -based amendments are organized into a single -bound report containing 3 main parts: ❖ The Summary of Changes to EAR -based GMP Amendments. This cumulative summary identifies those amendments confirmed in the CCPC Workshop and recommended by the EAC and CCPC for consideration by the BCC to approve for Transmittal; -4- Comprehensive Planning Section Land Development Services Department Consolidated Staff Report for Transmittal Consideration of EAR -based GMP Amendments 99 ❖ Each of the GMP Elements with the proposed strike through and underlined modifications to the appropriate Policies and Objectives, updated per the CCPC Workshop and, the EAC and CCPC Transmittal Hearings; and, ❖ The adopted EAR Assessment of Successes & Shortcomings and Recommendations report corresponding with each Element. The adopted EAR Assessment report for each Element is included to provide the original guidance for the proposed amendments within the Element. As described above, the structure of the EAR -based GMP amendments inter - relates all of the chapters contained in the report. STAFF RECOMMENDATION That the CCPC forward these EAR -based GMP amendments as cumulatively summarized below to the Board of County Commissioners with a recommendation to approve for Transmittal to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. Goals, Objective and Policies: All Elements will be revised to reflect the proper formatting for all Goals, Objectives and Policies, as defined below: Goal: General statement defining what the plan will ultimately achieve, typically beginning with "TO" followed by a transitive verb, such as, TO PROTECT or TO ENSURE. Objective: A more specific statement than the stated Goal; describing actions that will help achieve the goal(s), typically beginning with the active verb providing the general direction, such as, "Implement ", "Promote" or "Protect ". Objectives use the term "will" and allow Policies to specifically require an activity with "shall ". Policies: Specific statements that provide directives on how to achieve the objectives and ultimately the Element's goals, typically beginning with phrases like, "The County shall promote... ", "The County shall continue to..." or "The District shall expand..." or similar phrases. Policies use the terms "may" or "shall" to provide specific direction. Goals, Objective and Policies: All Elements should be revised to reflect Department name changes, designee changes, renumbering due to objective and/or policy additions and/or deletions, and grammatical changes. Potential Policy Issues A small number of recommendations from the Environmental Advisory Council fall outside the scope of the adopted Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR). These entries appear below under the Drainage Sub - Element and Conservation & Coastal Management Element, listed separately from those recommendations lying inside the scope of the adopted EAR, and can be identified by their less - formal font style and an identifying [staff - assigned] reference number immediately following each. It is at the discretion of the BCC whether or not to initiate these GMP amendments as part of a regular amendment cycle. -5- Comprehensive Planning Section Land Development Services Department Consolidated Staff Report for Transmittal Consideration of EAR -based GMP Amendments Elements of the Growth Management Plan 1. Capital Improvement Element (CIE) 9 B `' Initially Prepared Amendments based on the adopted EAR CIE Assessment of the Successes & Shortcomings and Recommendations: • Policy 1.4: Revise to introduce reducing VMT and GHG emissions as criterion for further prioritizing projects; revise to provide another option/more options. + Policy 1.5: Revise related to multi - Element revisions in a comprehensive effort to manage redundancy; revise related to 2010 CIE adoption with "Regional Park land" LOSS change from 2.9 to 2.7 acres per 1,000 /population; revise related to FDOT comments to the DCA. • Policy 2.10: Reconsider revision recommended that would allow for more - responsive fiscal management, as this Policy remains relevant and should not be changed. • Objective 3: Minor revision to timeframe reference. • Policy 3.1: Minor revisions associated with new terminology. • Policy 4.1: Minor revision to provide updated Statutory cite. • Policy 4.2: Revise, as no longer necessary within context of EAR amendments; amendment to provide updated reference cite was made recently as part of 2010 CIE adoption (Ordinance No. 10- 43 ). • Policy 4.6: Minor revisions associated with new terminology. • Policy 4.7: Minor revision to include an additional "best practices" entry. • Policy 5.1: Minor revisions associated with new terminology; may need minor revision to provide updated Statutory cite. CCPC (& staff) changes to the CIE as recommended at the October 14, 2011 workshop: • Policy 1.5.F: Confirmed modifications are necessary edits to maintain consistency with the AUIR. Staff changes approved by the CCPC [Items inadvertently overlooked by staff during document preparation.]: Policy 5. LC: Reference to HB 7207. Post workshop: The additional reference to HB 7207 is not necessary or desired, and is removed. The reference to Section 163.3220 in this Policy is affected by the adoption of HB 7207 however, and specific modifications are made accordingly. Another Policy refers to Section 163.3220 — Policy 5.2.0 — so this entry is also modified accordingly. Staff changes to the CIE as extrapolated from EAC changes recommended at the December 7, 2011 Transmittal hearing: • Consider using the 7207 - updated phraseology, which references "relevant, appropriate and professionally accepted data" language for Policy subsection 1.23.2. Post Transmittal Hearing: Policy modified accordingly. CCPC (& staff) changes to the CIE, as recommended at the January 26, 2012 Transmittal hearing: Policy 1.4: Remove the second underlined addition, ending with "... at all." Post Transmittal Hearing: Policy modified accordingly. -6- Comprehensive Planning Section Land Development Services Department Consolidated Staff Report for Transmittal Consideration of EAR -based GMP Amendments • Policies 1.5.13 and 1.5.E: Revise to clarify the extent of the County's authority over private utilities.

Post workshop: Policy modified accordingly. Policy 6.5: Modify the first sentence to add the word, "potential" before the word, "critical" and add the phrase, "in the vicinity of before "I- 75/Everglades Interchange ". Post workshop: Policy modified accordingly. Policy 6.6: Clarify in the language as to whether the policy is applied to a project or a road. Post workshop: After carefully considering the CCPC's concerns related to the ambiguity of the term "temporary access facilities ", staff believes that this draft policy does not need to be in the GMP in order for the County to encourage temporary facilities to be available for use during an emergency. The one example of such a potential use is located at the I- 75/Everglades Boulevard overpass, at which a temporary construction access was approved for use in the Picayune Strand restoration project. That location could be of significant value during an emergency to provide both ingress and egress to motor vehicles. Emergency use authorization (in this case to access the limited access interstate highway) to access a public roadway from a temporary location can be granted by the appropriate transportation agency having maintenance responsibility over the facility, e.g., FDOT or Collier County. The emergency use of any temporary access, e.g., a construction access, should only be done with caution and only when proper safety precautions are in place. Staff believes should be done on a case by case basis when such emergency use is requested, and that no GMP policy is needed. Based upon that assessment, staff has removed the proposed policy. Policy 7.3: Clarify the term Zoning Ordinance, if it's not a specific document then needs clarification. Post workshop: Policy modified, Zoning Ordinance removed from Policy. Policy 7.5: Remove the phrase, "continue to" in the first sentence of the paragraph. Post workshop: Policy modified accordingly. Policy 9.3: Go back to the original wording if development of conditions which mandates interconnection is not developed by the time of Transmittal Public Hearing.

The criterion is currently applicable to future development in mixed -use activity centers. Based upon this recognition, Transportation staff proposed modifications to Policy.

Post Transmittal Hearing: Such Policy modifications are unnecessary, and a counter- proposal is developed. [Staff recommends the removal of these Policies from the GIP, as impacts to marine wetlands are already regulated by the State and Federal agencies. These Policies have also been difficult for staff to administer as there are no criteria in which to implement. The following is justification for this recommendation.] State Permitting Program: Environmental permitting for impacts to wetlands is regulated by the State of Florida through the State Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) program. Permitting is also regulated at the Federal level by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). Projects permitted under the ERP program are required to demonstrate that they are not contrary to the public interest or, in the case of Outstanding Florida Waters (OFW) that they are clearly in the public interest. Where a project is unable to otherwise meet these criteria, the applicant is required to mitigate adverse effects that may be caused by the regulated activity. The criteria for public interest are identified in 373.414 Florida Statutes and in the Basis of Review for the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). These criteria are as follows. "(a) In determining whether an activity, which is in, on, or over surface waters or wetlands, as delineated in s. 373.421 (1), and is regulated under this part, is not contrary to the public interest or is clearly in the public interest, the governing board or the department shall consider and balance the following criteria: 1. Whether the activity will adversely affect the public health, safety, or welfare or the property of others; 2. Whether the activity will adversely affect the conservation of fish and wildlife, including endangered or threatened species, or their habitats; 3. Whether the activity will adversely affect navigation or the flow of water or cause harmful erosion or shoaling; 4. Whether the activity will adversely affect the fishing or recreational values or marine productivity in the vicinity of the activity; 5. Whether the activity will be of a temporary or permanent nature; 6. Whether the activity will adversely affect or will enhance significant historical and archaeological resources under the provisions of s. 267.061; and 7. The current condition and relative value of functions being performed by areas affected by the proposed activity. (b) If the applicant is unable to otherwise meet the criteria set forth in this subsection, the governing board or the department, in deciding to grant or deny a permit, shall consider measures proposed by or acceptable to the applicant to mitigate adverse effects that may be caused by the regulated activity. Such measures may include, but are not limited to, onsite mitigation, offsite mitigation, offsite regional mitigation, and the purchase of mitigation credits from mitigation banks permitted under s. 373.4136. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to choose the form of mitigation. The mitigation must offset the adverse effects caused by the regulated activity." (373.414 Florida Statutes)" Where mitigation is accepted, financial assurances are required by the State in the amount of 110% of the cost of implementing the mitigation plan. The following was taken from the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Environmental Monitoring and Report Guidelines. "Financial Assurances — Pursuant to Section 4.3.3.2 (p) of the Basis of Review for mitigation plans with projected implementation costs in excess of $25,000, the permittee shall submit a financial assurance mechanism in the amount of 110% of the itemized cost of implementing the mitigation plan. Acceptable financial assurance mechanisms include approved Letters of Credit (Form No .1106), Performance Bonds (Form No. 1105), Trust Fund Agreements, cash deposits or cash equivalent in an escrow account and several other mechanism outlined in Section 4.3.7.6 of the Basis of Review, Pages 39 -40. Partial Releases of the financial assurance mechanisms may be requested as the mitigation program progresses toward completion. The District can authorize the return and release of portions of these funds provided that the project is in compliance." Aside from permitting for impacts to wetlands, applicants are also required to obtain State -owned submerged land leases for use of State -owned submerged lands. As an incentive for public use of water front, State -owned submerged land lease fees provide incentives for commercial marinas which have a percentage of boat slips available to the general public on a first -come, first -served basis. First come, first served is defined in Chapter 18 -21 Florida Administrative Code any "water dependent facility operated on the sovereign lands of the state the services of which are open to the general public with no qualifying requirements such as club membership, stock ownership, or equity interest, with no longer than one -year rental terms, and with no automatic renewal rights or conditions. This is intended to cover services offered to various types, classes or -2S- Comprehensive Planning Section Land Development Services Department Consolidated Staff Report for Transmittal Consideration of EAR -based GMP AmendgntB wl, groups of public users and such services need not be comprehensive. The service offered may be a specialty service such as boat repair, seafood purchasing, marine slip rentals or shipping terminals as long as all services offered are open to the general types, classes, or groups of public users with no qualifying requirements such as club membership or stock ownership or equity interest." Incentives for marinas which are open to the public are included below and were taken from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) website for State -owned submerged land leases. "Commercial marinas require authorization which may include approval by the Board of Trustees at a regularly scheduled Cabinet meeting, depending on the size of the lease area. These types of facilities can be private or public with the public facilities being eligible for a 30 percent discount on the lease fees if they have at least 90 percent of the slips available to the general public. In addition, marinas that receive the Clean Marina designation from DEP can earn another 10 percent discount. These discounts encourage and reward marinas that provide public access to the waters of the state. The standard lease term is five years but is increased to ten years for marinas that are at least 90 percent open to the public. Extended term leases of up to 25 years may be obtained if certain rule conditions are met and an additional fee is paid for the extended term. All leases require a nonrefundable processing fee and a lease may be modified and/or assigned to another party if the lessee is complying with statutes and rules and has no outstanding lease fees." Difficulties in administering the Policies (prepared by Stephen Lenberger): Currently, staff is unable to administer the Policies as there are no criteria in which to implement. Specifically, there is no definition on what is meant by "destruction" of marine wetlands or for other provisions of the Policies, such as providing for "general public use ". Permitting through the State and Federal agencies require impacts to marine wetlands (mangroves, seagrass beds, hard bottom benthic environments, etc.) to be minimized, and where impacts occur, to be mitigated. Since these wetlands are mitigated through the State permitting program to insure no net loss of wetland function, they have not been looked upon by the County as being "destroyed ". Hydrologic and other functions of these marine wetlands still remain, not to mention the benefits provided by facilities for enjoyment and appreciation of these resources. Certainly the resource has not been destroyed. There is also concern regarding the provision requiring for general public use of private facilities, particularly as they apply to the water- dependent and water - related uses identified in CCME Policy 10.1.1. The defmition of "marina" in the Land Development Code is also broad and applies to a variety of boat facilities, including multi - family dock facilities. Also, to what degree is meant by providing for general public use (public use of a percentage of wetslips or dry storage, use of fueling facilities, boardwalks, rest rooms, parking areas, etc.)? The requirement for a fiscal analysis to demonstrate public benefit and financial feasibility of a proposed development is also a problem. How would a fiscal analysis be performed to demonstrate public benefit? Public benefit of private facilities could simply be by decreasing demand on public facilities. A fiscal analysis for financial feasibility could be demonstrated, at least for project construction. But this would still be subject to economic conditions. How would financial feasibility be demonstrated beyond construction? CCPC (& staff) changes to the CCME, as recommended at the March 6, 2012 Transmittal hearing: Policy 10.1.5 and Policy 10.1.6: Delete Policies, as impacts to marine wetlands are already regulated by the State and Federal agencies. These Policies have also been difficult for staff to administer as there are no criteria in which to implement [staff recommendation]. CCPC recommendation differs from staff's — recommending that the Policy 10.1.5 prepared for Consent Agenda consideration be retained essentially as written, adding "marine" to qualify "wetlands in second sentence, and including parenthetical definition of "marine wetlands "; and, that the Policy 10. 1.6 prepared for Consent Agenda consideration be retained essentially as written, changing "fiscal analysis" requirement to "needs analysis ". Post Transmittal Hearing: Outstanding substantive issues remain. -26- Comprehensive Planning Section Land Development Services Department Consolidated Staff Report for Transmittal Consideration of EAR -based GMP Amendments 7.

If changes are made to Policy 6.3 to delete reference to the affordable housing provision, as proposed, then revise this policy to delete that reference • Policy 2.5: Revise to reflect the existence of the TCMAs (perhaps replace "shall designate" on first line with "has designated "). • Policy 4.5: Revise to recognize the periodic update (perhaps replace the last sentence with a commitment to periodically update the inventory). • Policy 4.7: Revise to specify that a redevelopment plan may only be prepared by the County or its agent unless first approved by the Board, to add reference to the Immokalee Redevelopment Plan, and to correct the date reference. • Policy 5.3: Revise to clarify changes to the Urban designation refers to the new designation of lands as Urban (perhaps replace "changes" in the third line with "addition "). • Policy 5.14: Revise as necessary to reflect the changed status and contents of the Inter -local Agreements as well as any changes necessary to correlate with the Public School Facilities Element. • Objective 6: Revise to reference the establishment of TCMAs in past tense (perhaps replace "are hereby" in the last sentence with "have been "). -27- Comprehensive Planning Section Land Development Services Department Consolidated Staff Report for Transmittal Consideration of EAR -based GMP Amendmen ^ • Policy 6.3: Revise paragraph e) to begin with a verb so as to follow the sentence structure (perhaps add "Providing" before "Vehicular "; delete paragraph d) referring to the affordable housing provision; and, make correlating change to Transportation Element Policy 5.5). • Objective 7: Revise to reference reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (perhaps add "reduce greenhouse gas emissions," on the second line after "policies, ". • Policy 7.3: Revise for proper wording (perhaps replace "and their interconnection points" with "and/or provide interconnection(s)." • Policy 7.7: Revise to update the Division name. • Density Rating System — Conversion of Commercial Zoning Bonus: Revise to prohibit applicability within the CHHA. • Density Rating System — Affordable- Workforce Housing Bonus: Revise to prohibit applicability within the CHHA. • Density Rating System - Traffic Congestion Area: Delete, and replace with a Coastal High Hazard Area density reduction factor; so reflect this on the FLUM; make correlating changes to all GMP references to this provision; and, revise both the Roadway Access and Proximity to Mixed Use Activity Center or Interchange Activity Center (residential density bands) bonuses to replace reference to this provision with CHHA reference. • Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict: Revise to reduce allowable density for residential -only projects within the CHHA to a maximum of 4 DU /A; revise the Master Planned Activity Center provision for clarity, and possible substantive change. • Rural Fringe Mixed Use District: Revise to clarify the District only applies to A -zoned lands; to correct a miss - numbering in the RFMUD Sending Lands designation; and, revise the Exemption provision to clarify the applicability of "expansion" and to delete unneeded text from the Exemption title. • Overlays and Special Features, Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Overlay: Revise, if possible, to provide clarity to this Overlay and/or related FLUE provisions. • Future Land Use Map: Revise the CHHA boundary to correlate with any CHHA boundary description change made in CCME Policy 12.2.5. • Planning Horizon Issue: Revise the various planning horizons in the GMP to be consistent. • Designation /District/Subdistrict Relationship: Revise throughout to clarify the relationship between Designations, Districts and Subdistricts. • Map FLUE -14 Existing Zoning Consistent with FLUE by Policy, Immokalee Area: Delete; replacement map to be adopted into the Immokalee Area Master Plan to correlate with new Policy 6.1.9 in that Master Plan. -28- Comprehensive Planning Section Land Development Services Department Consolidated Staff Report for Transmittal Consideration of EAR -based GMP Amendments CCPC (& staff) changes to the FLUE as recommended at the October 14, 2011 worksh 9B op: • Policy 7.3: Add reference to Transportation Element Policy 9.3. Staff believes it appropriate to reference, but not mirror, TE Policy 9.3 as the two are related but not identical in scope. Only local street interconnections are addressed in TE Policy 9.3 whereas FLUE Policy 7.3 also addresses interconnection points, e.g. parking lot connections. Further, the context of Policy 7.3 is different as its genesis is the Community Character Plan, as identified in Objective 7. [At the workshop, staff noted this policy needed revision to correlate with Transportation Element Policy 9.3; CCPC discussed TE Policy 9.3 at length.] • Density Rating System/Density Reduction/Coastal High Hazard Area: (1) Add clarification that the CHHA boundary is generally depicted on the Future Land Use Map and more precisely identified in the Future Land Use Map series. (2) Retain text as proposed to apply the density reduction factor to all lands subject to the density rating system, including those presently not subject to the traffic congestion area reduction. The affected area is approximately the west half of Section 1, Township 50 South, Range 26 east. In that area, many of the parcels are non - residentially zoned (e.g. C -5 and I- Industrial); and, all residentially zoned parcels are within platted subdivisions where almost all lots are developed and most are zoned for >4 dwelling units per acre. Staff estimates <100 acres are zoned E- Estates, thus reasonably eligible for rezone to higher density; however, almost all of those E -zoned parcels are developed. Staff believes the likelihood of requested up- zoning for these parcels beyond the proposed allowable 3 dwelling units per acre to be minimal. [(I) At the workshop, staff noted this change was needed. (2) CCPC expressed concern about infringement upon property rights due to lessening the eligible density available via rezoning.] • Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict/Master Planned Activity Center provision: Retain text allowing usage of Master Planned Activity Center provision if 51 % or more of a quadrant is under unified control (remove proposed text requiring an entire quadrant to be under unified control); proposed clean -up changes remain. [CCPC expressed concern about infringement upon property rights under the proposed "entire quadrant" change.] • Overlays and Special Features /Coastal High Hazard Area: Add clarification that the CHHA boundary is more precisely identified in the Future Land Use Map series. [At the workshop, staff may or may not have noted this change was needed, but it correlates to the CHHA Density Reduction change above.] • Future Land Use Map and Map Series/Map FLUE -14, one of the Properties Consistent by Policy (5.9, 5.10, 5.11, and 5.12) Maps, applicable to the Immokalee area: Retain the map. [As noted in the CCPC workshop FLUE document, deletion of this map was contingent upon adoption of changes to the Immokalee Area Master Plan (petition CP- 2008 -5) which included its own such map and corresponding policy; that petition was not adopted.] Staff changes approved by the CCPC [Items inadvertently overlooked by staff during document preparation.]: None.

GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES [Revised text, page 2] C1T17:� =1A TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES CONCURRENT WITH NEW DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN OR EXCEED ADOPTED STANDARDS FOR LEVELS OF SERVICE. OBJECTIVE 1 (PUBLIC FACILITYLEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS): Identify and define types of public facilities, establish standards for levels of service for each such public facility, and determine what quantity of additional public facilities is needed in order to achieve and maintain the standards. Policy 1.1: [Revised text, page 2] The County shall establish standards for levels of service for public facilities, as follows: Public facilities are facilities which appear in other elements of this comprehensive plan, including arterial and collector roads, see wate stormwater management systems, potable water systems, wastewater treatment systems, solid waste disposal facilities, parks and recreation facilities, and public school facilities. The standards for levels of service of County provided public facilities shall apply to development orders issued by the County, to the County's annual budget, and to the appropriate individual element of this comprehensive plan. The standards for levels of service of public facilities which are not County provided shall apply to development orders issued by the County and to the appropriate individual element of this comprehensive plan, but shall not apply to the County's annual budget. Public facilities shall include land, structures, the initial furnishings and equipment, design, permitting, and construction costs. Other "capital" costs, such as motor vehicles and motorized equipment, computers and office equipment, office furnishings, and small tools are considered in the County's annual budget, but such items are not "public facilities" for the purposes of the Growth Management Plan, or the issuance of development orders. Policy 1.2: [Revised text, page 2] The quantity of public facilities that is needed to eliminate existing deficiencies and to meet the needs of future growth shall be determined for each public facility by the following calculation: Q= (SxD) -I. Where: "Q" is the quantity of public facility needed, "S" is the standard for level of service, "D" is the demand, such as the population, and "I" is the inventory of existing facilities. Words underlined are added; words stfuek- thr$ugh are deleted - as recommended by staff. Words double underlined are added; words are deleted - as recommended by CCPC. FINAL �1 As approved by CCPC on 3 -6 -12 EAR -based GMP Amendments Capital Improvement Element - BCC Transmittal Hearing 3 -15 -12 A. The calculation will be used for existing demand in order to determine existing deficiencies. The calculation will be used for projected demand in order to determine needs of future growth. The estimates of projected demand will account for demand that is likely to occur from previously issued development orders as well as future growth. B. The Board of County Commissioners shall review all rezone petitions, SRA designation applications, conditional use petitions, and proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Element (FLUE), Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) or Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP) affecting the overall countywide density or intensity of permissible development, with consideration of their impact on both the variable "D" in the formula Q = (S x D) - I, and the overall County transportation system. The Board shall not approve any such petition or application which would directly access a deficient roadway segment or if it impacts an adjacent roadway segment that is deficient, or which significantly impacts either: (1) a deficient roadway segment or adjacent roadway segment; or (2) the seasonal population based upon the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Florida (BEBR) medium range growth rate population projections, for all public facilities, for the variable "D ", unless one of the three items listed below simultaneously occurs: (a)1. Specific mitigating stipulations are approved in conjunction with the rezone or SRA designation resolution, conditional use petition, or FLUE amendment, to restore or maintain the Level of Service on the impacted roadway segment; (b)2. The adopted population standard used for calculation of "Q" in the formula Q = (S x D) — I is amended based on appropriate relevant, appropriate and professionally accepted data and analysis; or, (e)3. The Schedule of Capital Improvements is updated to include any necessary projects that would support the additional public facility demand(s) created by the rezone, SRA designation resolution, conditional use petition, or amendment to the Future Land Use Element.

(1) For the purpose of this policy, "native vegetation" is defined as a vegetative community having 25% or more canopy coverage or highest existing vegetative strata of native plant species. The vegetation retention requirements specified in this policy are calculated based on the amount of "native vegetation" that conforms to this definition. (2) The preservation of native vegetation shall include canopy, under -story and ground cover emphasizing the largest contiguous area possible, which may include connection to offsite preserves. The purpose for identifying the largest contiguous area is to provide for a core area that has the greatest potential for wildlife habitat by reducing the interface between the preserve area and development which decreases the conflicts from other land uses. Criteria for determining the dimensional standards of the preserve are to be set out in the Land Development Code. (3) Areas that fulfill the native vegetation retention standards and criteria of this policy shall be set aside as preserve areas. On -site and off -site preserve areas shall be protected by a permanent conservation mechanism to prohibit further development, consistent with the requirements of this policy. The type of permanent conservation mechanism, including conservation easements, required for a specific development may vary based on preserve area size, type of development approval, and other factors, as set forth in the County's land development regulations.

Any upland habitat that serves as a buffer to a wetland area as identified in Paragraph (4)c. above, e. Dry Prairie, Pine Flatwoods, and f. All other native habitats. (5) The uses allowable within preserve areas are limited to: a. Passive recreational uses that do not impact the minimum required vegetation or cause a loss of function to the preserve area. Loss of function to the preserve area includes a reduction or a change in vegetation within the preserve and harming any listed species present in the preserve. More specific standards that implement this policy shall be set forth in the land development regulations and will address various types of construction that are compatible with the function of the preserve. The land development regulations will also provide criteria to define appropriate passive recreational uses. The criteria will be established to allow for passive recreational uses such as trails or boardwalks that provide for access within the preserves, providing the uses do not reduce the minimum required vegetation or cause harm to listed species. b. Receipt of treated stormwater discharge where such use, including conveyance, treatment and discharge structures, does not result in adverse impacts the naturally occurring, native vegetation, to include the loss of the minimum required vegetation acreage and the harm to any listed species according to the policies associated with Objective 7.1, as determined by criteria set forth in land development regulations. Discharge to preserves having wetlands requires treatment that will meet water quality standards as set forth in Chapter 62 -302. F.A.C. and will conform to the water quality criteria requirements set forth by the South Florida Water Management District.

(11) Right of Way acquisitions by any governmental entity for all purposes necessary for roadway construction, including ancillary drainage facilities, and including utilities within the right of way acquisition area, shall be exempt from mitigation requirements. (12) Although the primary intent of this Policy is to retain and protect existing native vegetation, there are situations where the application of the retention requirements of this Policy is not possible. In these cases, creation or restoration of vegetation to satisfy all or a portion of the native vegetation retention requirements may be allowed. Within one year of the effective date of these amendments, the County shall adopt land development regulations to determine the circumstances for when creation or restoration is allowed and to specify criteria for creation and restoration. (13) The County may grant a deviation to the native vegetation retention requirements of subsections 2, 4, 5, 10, and 12 of this Policy, and except -€er the Native Vegetation Retei4ien RequifemefAs Table, and Visio in Paragraphs ! � ! 3 —! 6, and 7. Within ene year- of the effeetive date of these amendments, the County shall adopt land development regulations to set forth the process for obtaining a deviation. The regulations shall allow for the granting of a deviation by the appropriate review board after a public hearing, and for the granting of a deviation administratively. The County shall consider the amount and type of native vegetation and the presence of listed species in determining whether the granting of a deviation requires a public hearing, or may be granted administratively. The County may grant a deviation if: a. County, Federal or State agencies require that site improvements be located in areas which result in an inability to meet the provisions of this Policy, or b. On or off -site environmental conditions are such that the application of one or more provisions of this Policy is not possible or will result in a preserve area of lesser quality, or c. The strict adherence to these provisions will not allow for the implementation of other Plan policies that encourage beneficial land uses. ( 14) Industrial zoned parcels which, pursuant to the table within this Policy, would have a native vegetation retention requirement of 2 acres or less shall be exempt from this requirement. This exemption shall not -apply to the overall native vegetation retention requirement for a PUD or subdivision used to create these parcels unless the overall native vegetation retention requirement for the PUD or subdivision is 2 acres or less Policy 6.1.2: [Revised text, page 21 ] For the County's Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, as designated on the FLUM, native vegetation shall be preserved on site through the application of the following minimum preservation and vegetation retention standards and criteria=_ Additionally, for the Lake Trafford/Cam- I,_- Strand System located within the Immokalee Urban Designated Area native vegetation shall be preserved on site through the application of the Neutral Lands standards in "b" below on an interim basis. until such time as a study is completed to determine if different standards are appropriate for this area.

NRPA Sending Lands: Calculated at the higher value of 90% of the native vegetation present, or as may otherwise be permitted under the Density Blending provisions of the FLUE. e. Provisions a. through d. above shall also be consistent with the wetland protection policies set forth under CCME Objective 6.2. f. In order to ensure reasonable use and to protect the private property rights of owners of smaller parcels of land within lands designated Rural Fringe Mixed Use District on the Future Land Use Map, including nonconforming lots of record which existed on or before June 22, 1999, for lots, parcels or fractional units of land or water equal to or less than five (5) acres in size, native vegetation clearing shall be allowed, at 20% or 25,000 square feet of the lot or parcel or fractional unit, whichever is greater, exclusive of any clearing necessary to provide for a 15 -foot wide access drive up to 660 feet in length. For lots and parcels greater than 5 acres but less than 10 acres, up to 20% of the parcel may be cleared. This allowance shall not be considered a maximum clearing allowance where other provisions of this Plan allow for greater clearing amounts. These clearing limitations shall not prohibit the clearing of brush or under -story vegetation within 200 feet of structures in order to minimize wildfire fuel sources. g. Within Receiving and Neutral lands where schools and other public facilities are co- located on a site, the native vegetation retention requirement shall be 30% of the native vegetation present, not to exceed 25% of the site. (1) For the purpose of this policy, "native vegetation" is defined as a vegetative community having 25% or more canopy coverage or highest existing vegetative strata of native plant species. The vegetation retention requirements specified in this policy are calculated on the amount of "native vegetation" that conforms to this definition. (2) The preservation of native vegetation shall include canopy, under -story and ground cover, emphasizing the largest contiguous area possible, which may include connection to offsite preserves. The purpose for identifying the largest contiguous area is to provide for a core area that has the greatest potential for wildlife habitat by reducing the interface between the preserve area and development which decreases the conflicts from other land uses. Criteria for determining the dimensional standards of the preserve are to be set out in the Land Development Code. (3) Areas that fulfill the native vegetation retention standards and criteria of this policy shall be set aside as preserve areas.

The type of conservation mechanism, including conservation easements, required for a specific development may vary based on preserve area size, type of development approval, and other factors, as set forth in the County's land development regulations. (4) Selection of native vegetation to be retained as preserve areas shall reflect the following criteria in descending order of priority: a. Wetland or upland areas known to be utilized by listed species or that serve as corridors for the movement of wildlife shall be preserved and protected in order to facilitate the continued use of the site by listed species or the movement of wildlife through the site. This criterion shall be consistent with the requirements of Policy 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 of this element. b. Xeric Scrub, Dune and Strand, Hardwood Hammocks. c. Onsite wetlands preserved pursuant to Policy 6.2.5 of this Element; d. Any upland habitat that serves as a buffer to a wetland area, as identified in (4)c. above. e. Dry Prairie, Pine Flatwoods, and f. All other native habitats. (5) The uses allowable within preserve areas are limited to: a. Passive recreational uses that do not impact the minimum required vegetation or cause a loss of function to the preserve area. Criteria identifying what constitutes a loss of function shall be set forth in the land development regulations and will address various types of construction that are compatible with the function of the preserve. The land development regulations will also provide criteria to define appropriate passive recreational uses. The criteria will be established to allow for passive recreational uses such as trails or boardwalks that provide for access within the preserves, providing the uses do not reduce the minimum required vegetation or cause harm to listed species. b. Receipt of treated stormwater discharge where such use, including conveyance, treatment and discharge structures, does not result in adverse impacts on the naturally occurring, native vegetation, to include the loss of the minimum required vegetation and the harm to any listed species according to the policies associated with Objective 7.1, as determined by criteria set forth in the land development regulations. Discharge to preserves having wetlands requires treatment that will meet water quality standards as set forth in Chapter, 62 -302 F.A.C. and will conform to the water quality criteria requirements set forth by the South Florida Water Management District. (6) A management plan shall be submitted for all preserve areas identified by specific criteria in the land development regulations to identify actions that must be taken to ensure that the preserved areas will function as proposed. The plan shall include methods to address control and treatment of invasive exotic species, fire management, stormwater management (if applicable), and maintenance of permitted facilities. If applicable, a listed species monitoring program shall be submitted pursuant to Policy 7.1.2 (2)(i). (7) Off -site preservation shall be allowed to provide flexibility in the project design. a. Within Receiving and Neutral Lands, off -site preservation shall be allowed for up to 50% of the vegetation retention requirement. 1. Off -site preservation areas shall be allowed at a ratio of 1:1 if such off -site preservation is located within designated Sending Lands or at a ratio of 1.5:1 anywhere else.

Off -site preservation areas shall be contiguous to designated Sending Lands and shall be allowed at a ratio of 3:1. c. Off -site preservation shall not be allowed in NRPA Sending Lands. (8) Density Bonus Incentives shall be granted to encourage preservation amounts greater than that required in this policy, as provided for in the FLUE for Receiving Lands and Rural Villages. Within one (1) year of the effective date of these amendments, Collier County shall adopt specific land development regulations to implement this incentive program. (9) On -site preservation areas shall also conform to the Open Space requirements as specified in the Future Land Use Element. These preservations shall be part of and counted towards the Open Space requirements. (10) Existing native vegetation that is located contiguous to the natural reservation shall be preserved pursuant to Policy 6.5.2 of this element. Natural reservation is defined as that specified in CCME Objective 6.5 of this element; (11) Should the amount of wetland vegetation exceed the minimum vegetation requirements as specified herein, retention of wetland vegetation having significant habitat or hydrologic value is encouraged. Increased preservation shall be fostered through incentives including, but not limited to: clustered development, reduced development standards such as open space, setbacks, and landscape buffers, to allow for increased areas of preserved wetland vegetation. Significant habitat or hydrologic value is determined by wetland function, not the size of the wetland. (12) All State and Federal parks preserves and forests are subject to compliance with the minimum native vegetation retention requirements; however, such lands are not required to be designated as preserves encumbered with conservation easements or subject to the establishment of preserve mana eg, ment plans.

A direct impact is hereby defined as the dredging or filling of a wetland or adversely changing the hydroperiod of a wetland. This policy shall be implemented as follows: (1) The County shall apply the vegetation retention requirements of Policy 6.1.2 of this element for the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District. and Policy 6.1.2.b. of this element for the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System, in order to preserve an appropriate amount Words underlined are added; words StFUGk thmugh are deleted — as recommended by staff Words double underlined are added; words dg, hle ptr.­nL- thcaagh are deleted — as recommended by CCPC FINAL 19 As approved by CCPC on 3 -6 -12 98 &J-1 EAR -based GMP Amendments Conservation and Coastal Management Element — BCC Transmittal Hearing 3 -16 -12 of native vegetation on site. Wetlands shall be preserved as part of this vegetation requirement according to the following criteria: a. The acreage requirements of Policy 6.1.2 of this element shall be met by preserving wetlands with the highest wetland functionality scores. Wetland functionality assessment scores shall be those described in paragraph (2) of this policy. Wetlands having a WRAP score of at least 0.65 or a Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method score of 0.7 shall be preserved on site. This policy is not intended in all cases to require preservation of wetlands exceeding the acreage required by Policy 6.1.2 of this element. Within one year, the County shall develop specific criteria to be used to determine when wetlands having a WRAP score greater than 0.65 or a Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method score of greater than 0.7 shall be required to be retained exceeding the acreage required by Policy 6.1.2 of this element. (2) In order to assess the values and functions of wetlands at the time of project review, applicants shall rate functionality of wetlands using the South Florida Water Management District's Wetland Rapid Assessment Procedure (WRAP), as described in Technical Publication Reg -001, dated September 1997, and updated August 1999, or the Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method, F.A.C. Chapter 62 -345. The applicant shall submit to County staff, agency accepted WRAP scores or Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method scores. County staff shall review this functionality assessment as part of the County's EIS provisions and shall use the results to direct incompatible land uses away from the highest functioning wetlands according to the requirements found in paragraph (1) above.

A structural buffer may consist of a stem -wall, berm, or vegetative hedge with suitable fencing. (6) Mitigation shall be required for direct impacts to wetlands in order to result in no net loss of wetland functions. a. Mitigation Requirements: 1. "No net loss of wetland functions" shall mean that the wetland functional score of the proposed mitigation equals or exceeds the wetland functional score of the impacted wetlands. However, in no case shall the acreage proposed for mitigation be less than the acreage being impacted. 2. Loss of storage or conveyance volume resulting from direct impacts to wetlands shall be compensated for by providing an equal amount of storage or conveyance capacity on site and within or adjacent to the impacted wetland. 3. Protection shall be provided for preserved or created wetland or upland vegetative communities offered as mitigation by placing a conservation easement over the land in perpetuity, providing for initial exotic plant removal (Class I invasive exotic plants defined by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council) and continuing exotic plant maintenance. 4. Prior to issuance of any final development order that authorizes site alteration, the applicant shall demonstrate compliance with paragraphs (6)a.1, (6)a.2, and (6)a.3 of this policy. If agency permits have not provided mitigation consistent with this policy, Collier County will require mitigation exceeding that of the jurisdictional agencies. 5. Mitigation requirements for single - family lots shall be determined by the State and Federal agencies during their permitting process, pursuant to the requirements of Policy 6.2.7 of this element. b. Mitigation Incentives: 1. Collier County shall encourage certain types of mitigation by providing a variety of incentives in the form of density bonuses and credits to open space and vegetation retention requirements.

BCC Transmittal Hearing 4 -24 -12 During the transmittal hearing for the EAR, the BCC asked staff to evaluate native vegetation retention requirements for industrial properties as they had concerns as to whether the requirements for preserves were compatible with uses allowed in the zoning district. An existing junk yard within an industrial area was cited as an example. There are eight Industrial Designated areas identified on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) for the County (general locations listed below). Much of the area within the Industrial Designation is built out or subdivided into smaller parcels, generally less than ten acres in size. The Industrial Designated areas by the Immokalee Airport and in the NE quadrant of Collier Boulevard and I- 75 (City Gate Commerce Park area) are partially built out with larger areas still in which to develop. North Collier Industrial — Mostly built out and subdivided into smaller parcels Pine Ridge Industrial - Mostly built out and subdivided into smaller parcels Airport Road Industrial - Mostly built out and subdivided into smaller parcels Westport Commerce Center Industrial — Existing PUD, built out East Trail Industrial — Abut half built out and subdivided into smaller parcels Collier Blvd & I -75 Industrial — Partially developed Immokalee Airport Industrial — Partially developed Ford Test Center — Existing PUD A few PUDs and subdivisions, with larger preserves, are found in the Industrial Designation, and are listed below along with the total acres of preserve for each. The Ford Test Center PUD and City Gate Commerce Park DRYPUD are older PUDs within the Industrial Designation, with less firm PUD commitments with regards to retention of native vegetation. Rail Head Industrial Park subdivision — 7.5 acres of preserve North Collier Industrial Center subdivision —10.5 acres of preserve White Lake Corporate Park subdivision — 8.3 acres of preserve Westport Commerce Center PUD (Market Center subdivision) — 26.7 acres of preserve Immokalee Regional Airport PUD — 134 acres of preserve Outside the above mentioned PUDs and plated subdivisions, existing preserves within the Industrial Designation are small (less than two acres) to very small (fraction of an acre). The preserve in the automotive junk yard previously mentioned is about 0.82 acre. In addition to Industrial Designated areas identified on the FLUM, industrial zoning occurs in other areas of the county. Several of these have industrial uses, including requirements for preserves or areas of retained native vegetation (listed below). Krehling Industries PUD — approximately 2 acres of preserve Radio Square PUD — no defined preserve (retained vegetation by lake) 1 Support Documentation 9 B Conservation and Coastal Management Element — Policies 6.1.1. and 6.1.2. BCC Transmittal Hearing 4 -24 -12 Westview Plaza PUD — small preserves on individual lots or retained vegetation in buffers within subdivision Industrial uses are also found in the Business Park Subdistrict and Research and Technology Park Subdistrict, all of which are currently zoned PUD. Preserve requirement for each are identified below. North Naples Research and Technology Park PUD — 2.70 acres of preserve Creekside Commerce Park PUD — 7.0 acres of preserve Jaeger PUD — 1.045 acres of preserve Lane Park PUD — 0.4 acre of preserve Toll Gate Commercial Plaza PUD/DRI — 17.85 acres of preserve East Gateway PUD — 9.34 acres of preserve During the last EAR, the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) was amended to allow for off -site retention of native vegetation in lieu of retaining native vegetation on -site. To implement this Policy, Land Development Code (LDC) amendments were adopted and criteria established. The criteria were based on whether native vegetation (habitat) could be maintained on -site and when it would be more desirable to retain native vegetation off -site in lieu of on -site. Quality of preserves varies and is influenced by a number of factors such as adjoining land uses, the amount of edge the preserve has (size and shape of the preserve) and habitat types within the preserve. In general, larger preserves are easier to maintain and less affected by adjoining land uses. Certain habitat types such as xeric scrub and cypress domes with good hydrology are easier to maintain and less affected by exotic vegetation and surrounding land uses. Others habitats require more maintenance, especially when fragmented into small pieces. Because of the uses allowed in industrial zoning, limited areas in which it occurs in the county and that most have been previously subdivided into smaller parcels, preserve requirements of less than two acres have been identified in the LDC as the threshold for qualifying for off -site retention of native vegetation. The same threshold was also identified for commercial zoning. Restrictions on when off -site retention of native vegetation could be used have also been identified in the LDC and include preserves with xeric scrub which are one or more acre in size, preserves utilized by listed species and where such preserves are required to be retained by state or federal regulatory agencies, where preserves are contiguous to conservation lands such as those purchased by Conservation Collier, among other criteria. Within the Industrial Designation, these restrictions would apply to two parcels, both of which contain small (.54 & .84 acre) scrub preserves /undeveloped areas located immediately adjacent to the Conservation Collier Railhead Scrub Preserve in the north end of the county. Both preserves /undeveloped areas are bisected from their main parcel by a rail road tract that runs through the area. Both parcels also appear to be eligible for a lot split thereby making the preserves /undeveloped portions of these parcels eligible for sale in the future. If an exemption to the on -site native vegetation retention requirement were approved, they potentially could be sold to Collier County through the Conservation Collier program. 2 Support Documentation 99 vm Conservation and Coastal Management Element — Policies 6.1.1. and 6.1.2. BCC Transmittal Hearing 4 -24 -12 Given the information presented here, staff recommends exempting industrial zoned parcels with a native vegetation retention requirement of two acres or less from the native vegetation retention requirements of Policy 6. 1.1 and 6.1.2. Staff also recommends that this exemption not apply to the overall native vegetation retention requirement for a PUD or subdivision used to create these parcels, unless the overall native vegetation retention requirement for the PUD or subdivision is 2 acres or less. 3 �9� Support Documentation Conservation and Coastal Management Element — Lake Trafford /Camp Keais Strand System Policies 6.1.2. and 6.2.5. BCC Transmittal Hearing 4 -24 -12 5.2.1 Overlays Related to Wetlands and Environmentally Sensitive Areas (The following discussion was prepared by Collier County Environmental Services Department, November 2008) The current line on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map (FLUM) titled "Wetlands connected to Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System" was part of a county -wide mapping of "Environmentally Sensitive Areas," as identified on the above - mentioned map and the county- wide Future Land Use Element (FLUE) map in 1989. The Environmentally Sensitive Areas Overlay was removed from the county -wide FLUE map. The IAMP FLU map was not updated at the same time. The 1999 Final Order required Collier County to do more to protect its native habitats and agricultural lands. The 2004 EAR -based GMP amendments to CCME Policy 6.2.4 (4) (copied below) required the adoption of wetland protection standards in the Land Development Code for the wetlands in the Immokalee urban area identified on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map (FLUM). To make the figure to identify these wetlands, digital data from the 2002 Immokalee FLUM was overlaid on current data to see what had been developed since then. (The 2002 version was the most recent when this project was started. There is a 2007 update with no noticeable change to the Wetlands Connected to Lake Trafford / Camp Keais Strand System.) It was immediately apparent that there had been development within the designated wetlands and that all of the connected wetlands were not included in the polygon on the FLUM. Figure 5 -1 shows the area on a composite aerial from 2005 and 2007. GIS data and aerials were used to develop a polygon that more closely captured the complete wetland area connected to the Lake Trafford and Camp Keais Strand for discussion purposes in the review process. This was first done with the 1999 SFWMD Land Cover, and soils GIS data with the 2007 aerials. As new data became available it was also reviewed. These iterations are included as Figures 5 -2 — 5 -4. Although it appears the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System wetlands within the Immokalee Urban Area bottleneck towards the middle of the area, it is clear by the figures below that these wetlands extend into the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) program lands, as part of the same system. They were not included in this mapping as they are under different regulation. They are designated as Open in the RLSA and there would be agency permitting IMMOKALEE AREA MASTER PLAN DATA & ANALYSIS Prepared for COLLIER COUNTY COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY and the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DECEMBER 2010 1 Support Documentation 99 0 Conservation and Coastal Management Element — Lake Trafford /Camp Keais Strand System Policies 6.1.2. and 6.2.5.

Also, the wetlands east of S.R.858 (1st St S) were not previously included; however, field verification has shown water in these wetlands flows to the west, indicating they are part of the Lake Trafford and Camp Keais Strand. CCME 6.2.4 (4) Within the Immokalee Urban Designated Area, there may exist high quality wetland systems connected to the Lake Trafford /Camp Keais Strand system. These wetlands require greater protection measures than wetlands located in other portions of the Urban Designated Area, and therefore the wetland protection standards set forth in Policy 6.2.5 shall apply in this area. This area is generally identified as the area designated as Wetlands Connected To Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map and is located in the southwest Immokalee Urban designated area, connected to the Lake Trafford /Camp Keais System. Within one (1) year of the effective date of these amendments, the County shall adopt land development regulations to determine the process and specific circumstances when the provisions of Policy 6.2.5 will apply.

The revised area encompasses 1,492.5 acres. Map 5 -3 identifies the current land uses within the Overlay. To help protect this environmentally sensitive area from developmental impacts, the IAMP proposes to limit any residential development within the LT /CKSSO to a maximum of four (4) dwelling units per acre. This would result in a reduction in the overall development potential by 661 base density units and 6,195 units with density bonuses.

It is not applicable to the Urban areas encompassed by the Immokalee Area Master Plan and the Golden Gate Area Master Plan; these two Elements have their own density provisions. The Density Rating System is applicable to that portion of the Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict to the extent that the residential density cap of 4 dwelling units per acre is not exceeded, except for the density bonus provisions for Affordable Housing and Transfer of Development Rights, and except as provided for in the Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Overlay. The final determination of permitted density via implementation of this Density Rating System is made by the Board of County Commissioners through an advertised public hearing process (rezone or Stewardship Receiving Area designation). 1. The Density Rating System is applied in the following manner: [Revised text, page 48] a. Within the applicable Urban Designated Areas, a base density of 4 residential dwelling units per gross acre may be allowed, though not an entitlement. This base level of density may be adjusted depending upon the location and characteristics of the project. For purposes of calculating the eligible number of dwelling units for a project (gross acreage multiplied by eligible number of dwelling units per acre), the total number of dwelling units may be rounded up by one unit if the dwelling unit total yields a fraction of a unit .5 or greater. Acreage to be used for calculating density is exclusive of: the commercial and industrial portions of a project, except where authorized in a Subdistrict, such as the Orange Blossom Mixed -Use Subdistrict; and, mixed residential and commercial uses as provided for in the C -1 through C -3 zoning districts in the Collier County Land Development Code; and, portions of a project for land uses having an established equivalent residential density in the Collier County Land Development Code. b. Within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict, the Density Rating System is applicable for the Affordable- workforce Housing Density Bonus only, as specifically provided for in that Subdistrict. C. Within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA), the Density Rating System is applicable for the Affordable - workforce Housing Density Bonus only, as specifically provided for in the RLSA for Stewardship Receiving Areas. d. This Density Rating System only applies to residential dwelling units.

This District consists of approximately 93,600 acres, or 7% of Collier County's total land area. Significant portions of this District are adjacent to the Urban area or to the semi - rural, rapidly developing, large -lot North Golden Gate Estates platted lands. Agricultural land uses within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District do not represent a significant portion of the County's active agricultural lands. As of the date of adoption of this Plan Amendment, the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District consists of more than 5,550 tax parcels, and includes at least 3,835 separate and distinct property owners. Alternative land use strategies have been developed for the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, in part, to consider these existing conditions. The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District provides a transition between the Urban and Estates Designated lands and between the Urban and Agricultural /Rural and Conservation designated lands farther to the east. The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District employs a balanced approach, including both regulations and incentives, to protect natural resources and private property rights, providing for large areas of open space, and allowing, in designated areas, appropriate types, density and intensity of development. The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District allows for a mixture of urban and rural levels of service, including limited extension of central water and sewer, schools, recreational facilities, commercial uses and essential services deemed necessary to serve the residents of the District. In order to preserve existing natural resources, including habitat for listed species, to retain a rural, pastoral, or park -like appearance from the major public rights -of- way within this area, and to protect private property rights, the following innovative planning and development techniques are required and /or encouraged within the District. * ** * ** * ** * ** * ** text break * ** * ** * ** * ** * ** 1.

ESTATES DESIGNATION A. Estates — Mixed Use District 3. Conditional Uses Subdistrict Various types of conditional uses are permitted in the Estates zoning district within the Golden Gate Estates area. In order to control the location and spacing of new conditional uses, one of the following four sets of criteria shall be met: a) Essential Services Conditional Use Provisions: Those Essential Services Conditional Uses, as identified within Section 2.01.03 G of the Collier County Land Development Code, may be allowed anywhere within the Estates Zoning District, except as prohibited in certain Neighborhood Centers, and are defined as: • electric or gas generating plants, • effluent tanks, • mayor re -pump stations, • sewage treatment plants, including percolation ponds, • hospitals and hospices, • water aeration or treatment plants, '00 • governmental facilities (except for those Permitted Uses identified in Section 2.01.03 of the Land Development Code), • public water supply acquisition, withdrawal, or extraction facilities, and • public safety service facilities, and other similar facilities. Provision Assessment: This provision, in varying iterations, has existed in the GGAMP since its adoption in 1991 and remains appropriate. However, the LDC reference and /or list of uses may not encompass all essential services, e.g. communication towers which are listed in LDC Sec. 2.01.03 G, Sec. 5.05.09, and in various zoning districts. Additionally, the reference to the Estates zoning district fails to capture all zoning districts found in the Golden Gate Estates area, e.g. P, Public Use zoning at Max Hasse Park. The County recommends revising the LDC reference and/or list of essential services uses to encompass all essential services uses relevant to the Golden Gate Estates area, and expanding the referenced zoning district listed to encompass all relevant zoning districts in Golden Gate Estates and/or adding reference to the Estates Designation. * ** * ** * ** * ** * ** text break * ** * ** * ** * ** * ** Words underlined are added; words 6tFuGk theugh are deleted — as recommended by staff.

B F 9B-'s SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES 2011 EVALUATION & APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR) Capital Improvement Element Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Element will be revised to reflect the proper formatting for all Goals, Objectives and Policies, as defined below: Goal: General statement defining what the plan will ultimately achieve, typically beginning with "TO" followed by a transitive verb, such as, TO PROTECT or TO ENSURE. Objective: A more specific statement than the stated Goal; describing actions that will help achieve the goal(s), typically beginning with the active verb providing the general direction, such as, "Implement ", "Promote" or "Protect ". Objectives use the term "will" and allow Policies to specifically require an activity with "shall ". Policies: Specific statements that provide directives on how to achieve the objectives and ultimately the Element's goals, typically beginning with phrases like, "The County shall promote... ", "The County shall continue to..." or "The District shall expand..." or similar phrases. Policies use the terms "may" or "shall" to provide specific direction. Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Element should be revised to reflect Department name changes, designee changes, renumbering due to objective and/or policy additions and/or deletions, and grammatical changes. Certain Sub - Element references to be renamed, including Sub - Element, Goal and throughout Objectives and Policies Policy 1.4 — revision to introduce reducing VMT and GHG emissions as criterion for further prioritizing projects; revision to provide another option/more options. Policy 1.5 — revisions related to multi - Element revisions in a comprehensive effort to manage redundancy; revision related to 2010 CIE adoption with "Regional Park land" LOSS change from 2.9 to 2.7 acres per 1,000 /population; revisions related to FDOT comments to the DCA. Policy 2.10 — reconsider revision recommended that would allow for more - responsive fiscal management, as this Policy remains relevant and should not be changed. Objective 3 — minor revision timeframe reference. Policy 3.1 — minor revisions associated with new terminology. Policy 4.1 — minor revision to provide updated Statutory cite. Policy 4.2 — revision no longer necessary within context of EAR amendments; amendment to provide updated reference cite was made recently as part of 2010 CIE adoption (Ordinance No. 10 -43). Policy 4.6 — minor revisions associated with new terminology. Policy 4.7 — minor revision to include an additional "best practices" entry. 1 CIE SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES Policy 5.1 — minor revisions associated with new terminology; may need minor revision to provide updated Statutory cite. -,.. 2 CIE SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES Grp Assessment of the Successes & Shortcomings and Recommendations for the Capital Improvement Element A. Introduction & Background: The purpose of the Capital Improvement Element is defined within its single Goal, which reads as follows: TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES CONCURRENT WITH NEW DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN OR EXCEED ADOPTED STANDARDS FOR LEVELS OF SERVICE. The intent of the Capital Improvement Element is to identify public facilities that will be required during the next five years, including the cost of such facilities, and the sources of revenue that will be used to fund construction or development of the facilities. As such, the Capital Improvement Element is updated annually, including revision of the 5 -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. The annual update and amendment to the Capital Improvement Element, adopted January 28, 2008 included the initial step toward re- naming of certain Sub - Elements including: from the "Sanitary Sewer" Sub - Element to the "Wastewater Treatment" Sub - Element; from the "Drainage" Sub - Element to the "Stormwater Management" Sub - Element, and; from the "Solid Waste" Sub - Element to the "Solid Waste Disposal" Sub - Element. The new names initially appeared in the Capital Improvement Element as combinations of old and new names as a transition preceding these EAR -based amendments. The new names — no longer in their transitional forms — should be used in all titles, headings and text within this Element, and in all references to these Sub - Elements found throughout the Growth Management Plan. As currently formatted, the Capital Improvement Element consists entirely of a single Goal, and its supporting Objectives and Policies. This Goal should be retained as written. B. Objectives Analysis: OBJECTIVE 1 (PUBLIC FACILITY LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS): Identify and define types of public facilities, establish standards for levels of service for each such public facility, and determine what quantity of additional public facilities is needed in order to achieve and maintain the standards. Policy Relevance: There are five (5) policies within this Objective. Policy 1.4: Public facility improvements are to be considered in the following order or priority: A. Replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities, including repair, remodeling and renovation of facilities that contribute to achieving or maintaining levels of service. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT (CIE) B. New facilities that reduce or eliminate existing deficiencies in levels of service. C. New facilities that provide the adopted levels of service for new growth during the next five fiscal years, as updated by the annual review of this Capital Improvement Element In the event that the planned capacity of public facilities is insufficient to serve all applicants for development orders, the capital improvements will be scheduled in the following priority order to serve: 1. previously approved development orders permitting redevelopment, 2. previously approved development orders permitting new development, 3. new development orders permitting redevelopment, and 4. new development orders permitting new developments. D. Improvements to existing facilities, and new facilities that significantly reduce the operating cost of providing a service or facility. E. New facilities that exceed the adopted levels of service for new growth during the next five fiscal years by either: 1. providing excess public facility capacity that may be needed by future growth beyond the next five fiscal years, or 2. providing higher quality public facilities than are contemplated in the County's normal design criteria for such facilities. This Policy explains the method for prioritizing public facilities' improvements. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained and revised to add a closing statement associated with the Major Issue of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, such as, When further considering projects prioritized by this order, the higher priority shall be assigned to improvements designed to reduce, or not increase, greenhouse gas emissions through shortened vehicular trip lengths, trips taken by another mode of transportation, or by other substantive means. [Public Comment from February 23, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting the planning period should be extended beyond ten years.] [Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment om August 27 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that additional language maybe needed to more clearly provide for the option of not constructing certain improvements at all.] Policy 1.5: The standards for levels of service of public facilities shall be as follows: A. Roadways: 1. Arterials and collector roads: Level of Service indicated below on the basis of peak hour, traffic volume: Level of Service "E" on all six -lane roads 2. Level of Service "D" peak hour on all other County and State arterial and collector roads not on the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FINS). 2 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT (CIE) k� B. State and Federal Roads: Collier County sets and adopts the LOS standards for state roads with the exception of those on the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FINS). In Collier County, FDOT sets and maintains the LOS for 1 -75. The standards for 1 -75 are as follows: EXISTING EXISTING RURAL AREA URBANIZED AREA 1 -75 B C C. County Surface Water Stormwater Management Systems: TRANSITIONING URBANIZED AREA C 1. Future "private" developments - water quantity and quality standards as specified in Collier County Ordinances 74 -50 and 90 -10. 2. Existing "private" developments and existing or future public drainage - stormwater management facilities - those existing levels of service identified (by design storm return frequency event) by the completed portions of the Water Management Master Plan as listed in the Drainage Stormwater Management Sub - Element of the Public Facilities Element. D. County Potable Water Systems: 1. County systems: County Water District = 170 gallons per capita per day 2. Municipal systems: City of Naples = 185 gallons per capita per day in the unincorporated service area Everglades City = 185 gallons per capita per day in the unincorporated service area 3. Private potable water systems / Independent district systems: Water flow design standards as identified in Policy 3.1 of the Potable Water Sub - Element of this Growth Management Plan. Orangetree Utilities = 100 gallons per capita per day lmmokalee Water and Sewer District = 105 gallons per capita per day Florida Governmental Utility Authority = 109 gallons per capita per day Ave Maria = 110 gallons per capita per day within service area E. County Sanitary Sewer - Wastewater Treatment Systems: 1. County systems: North Sewer Service Area = 120 gallons per capita per day South Sewer Service Area =100 gallons per capita per day Southeast Sewer Service Area = 120 gallons per capita per day Northeast Sewer Service Area = 120 gallons per capita per day 2. Municipal systems: City of Naples = 145 gallons per capita per day in the unincorporated service area Everglades City = 100 gallons per capita per day 3. Private sanitary sewer - wastewater treatment systems: Sewage flow design standards as identified in Policy 2.1 of the Sanitary Sewer - Wastewater Treatment Sub- Element of this Growth Management Plan. 3 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT (CIE) n q 9B Orangetree Utilities = 100 gallons per capita per day Immokalee Water and Sewer District = 100 gallons per capita per day Florida Governmental Utility Authority = 100 gallons per capita per day Ave Maria = 110 gallons per capita per day within service area F. County Solid Waste Disposal Facilities: 1. Two years of constructed lined cell capacity at the average disposal rate for the previous three (3) years. 2. Ten years of permittable capacity at the average disposal rate for the previous three (3) years. G. County Parks and Recreation Facilities: 1. Regional Park land = 2.9 acres per 1,000 1pop. 2. Community Park land = 1.2 acres per 1,000 /pop. (unincorporated) H. Public School Facilities: 1. Elementary schools = 95 percent (0.95) of CSA Enrollment/ FISH Capacity 2. Middle schools = 95 percent (0.95) of CSA Enrollment / FISH Capacity 3. High schools = 100 percent (1.00) of CSA Enrollment / FISH Capacity This Policy establishes standards for levels of service for each such public facility. This Policy remains essentially relevant and should be retained except for changes discussed below, and those associated with the renaming of certain public facilities and their attendant Sub - Elements. The LOSS for County arterial and collector roads appearing in Policy 1.5, subsection "A" above is one of two locations within this GMP where these standards are shown. The other location is Policy 1.3 in the Transportation Element. This dualism may be a simple matter of unnecessary redundancy, except that the two Policies are somewhat dissimilar.

[Public Comments from February 23, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting that special rural standards should be developed for land lying east of CR 951, including development standards, roads, dark skies, etc. Another, suggesting the County has failed to limit growth based on available resources.] [Public Comment fi-om March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting minimum Levels of Service Standards should be established for multi -model (and inter - model) needs (inc. public transit, park -n- ride facilities, carpooling, self - propelled modes, and pathways); another, suggesting that the County 5 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT (CIE) adopt special rural road section standards, including non -urban standards for right -of -way cross - sections, lighting, landscaping and water] [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment fi'om August 27 2010 EAR Workshop — Supporting staff suggestion to locate Level of Service Standards in the CIE, with the individual facilities' Elements or Sub - Elements being revised to direct readers to the CIE_ for this information.] [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment fr-om December 7 2010 EAR Adoption Hearing — Recognizing FDOT comments to the DCA and the revisions involved.] OBJECTIVE 2 (FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY): Provide public facilities, as described in Policy 1.1 above, in order to maintain adopted level of service standards that are within the ability of the County to fund, within the County's authority to require others to provide, or as provided by the School District within their financially feasible Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan, formally adopted by the School Board between July 1 and October 1 each year. With the exception of public school facilities, existing public facility deficiencies measured against the adopted level of service standards will be eliminated with revenues generated by ad valorem taxes and other intergovernmental revenues received based on economic activity. Future development will bear a proportionate cost of facility improvements necessitated by growth. Future development's payments may take the form of, but are not limited to, voluntary contributions for the benefit of any public facility, impact fees, dedications of land, provision of public facilities, and future payments of user fees, special assessments and taxes. Objective Achievement Analysis: The purpose of this Objective and its policies is to establish how providing public facilities in accordance with Objective 1 above must be accomplished in a financially feasible manner. This Objective is being achieved and should be retained as written. Policy Relevance: There are ten (10) policies within this Objective. Policy 2.10: Collier County will not exceed a maximum ratio of total general governmental debt service to bondable revenues from current sources of 13 %. Whereas Florida Statutes place no limitation on the application of revenues to debt service by local taxing authorities, prudent fiscal management dictates a self- imposed level of constraint. Current bondable revenues are ad valorem taxes and State- shared revenues, specifically gas taxes and the half -cent sales tax. The Enterprise Funds operate under revenue bonding ratios set by the financial markets and are, therefore, excluded from this debt policy. This Policy identifies current bondable revenues and limits the ratio of total debt service to bondable revenues. This limitation may have lost relevance given the economic climate and government's ability to react to market changes in a timely manner. The policy has been in the GMP since its original adoption and based upon the direction given below the policy will not be modified. 6 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT (CIE) ; 9 8 [Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment fi-om August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting this Policy remains relevant and the County should not consider adjusting its debt service ratio.] OBJECTIVE 3 (PUBLIC EXPENDITURES: COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA): Effective with plan implementation, limit public expenditures in the coastal high hazard area to those facilities, as described in Policy 1.1 above, needed to support new development to the extent permitted in the Future Land Use Element. Objective Achievement Analysis: Like all other types of capital improvements, projects located in the Coastal High hazard Area are included in the County's Annual Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements, and thus the County's Annual Budget for each fiscal year. The above Objective contains an outdated timeframe reference, but the wording is otherwise acceptable. This Objective should be reworded to remove the timeframe reference and simply refer to the 5 -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. Policy Relevance: There are three (3) policies within this Objective. Policy 3.1: The County shall continue to expend funds within the coastal high hazard area for the replacement and maintenance of public facilities identified in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element including, but not limited to arterial and collector roads, sanitary sewer service - wastewater treatment systems, potable water supply systems, surface water — stormwater management systems, solid waste collection and disposal systems, natural groundwater aquifer recharge areas, and park and recreation facilities. This Policy establishes the County's ability to replace and maintain public facilities in the coastal high hazard area in accordance with the Conservation and Coastal Management Element. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained except for changes associated with the renaming of certain public facilities. OBJECTIVE 4 (PROVIDE NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS): Coordinate County land use planning and decisions with its plans for public facility capital improvements, as described in Policy 1.1 above, by providing needed capital improvements for replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities, eliminating existing deficiencies, and future development and redevelopment caused by previously issued and new development orders. Policy Relevance: There are seven (7) policies within this Objective. Policy 4.1: The County shall provide, or arrange for others to provide, the public facilities listed in the Schedule of Capital Improvements. The Schedule of Capital Improvements shall be updated annually and may also be modified as follows: 7 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT (CIE) 9 A. Pursuant to Florida Statutes, 163.3187, the Schedule of Capital Improvements may be amended two times during any calendar year, and as allowed for emergencies, developments of regional impact, and certain small scale development activities. B. Pursuant to Florida Statutes, 163.3177, the Schedule of Capital Improvements may be adjusted by ordinance not deemed to be an amendment to the Growth Management Plan for corrections, updates, and modifications concerning costs; revenue sources; or acceptance of facilities pursuant to dedications which are consistent with the plan. This Policy provides for modifications to the Schedule of Capital Improvements of the Capital Improvement Element. This Element is affected by changes to Chapter 163, Florida Statute, which were adopted into law in 2007, as follows: 163.3177(3)(b)l: Requires an annual update to the Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements to be submitted by December 1, 2008 and yearly thereafter. If this date is missed, no comprehensive plan amendments are allowed until the update is adopted. Ch. 2007 -204, LOR This Policy remains otherwise relevant and should be retained as revised in accordance with the above Statutory change. Policy 4.6: Public facilities and services provided by Collier County with public funds in accordance with the Schedule of Capital Improvements in this Capital Improvement Element will be limited to Service Areas established within the boundaries designated on Figure PW -1 and Figure PW -1.1 "Collier County Water District Boundaries ", and Figure PW -2 and Figure PW -2.1 "Existing and Future Potable Water Service Areas ", in the Potable Water Sub - Element of the Public Facilities Element, and on Figure SS -1 and Figure SS -1.1, "Collier County Sewer District Boundaries ", and Figure SS -2 and Figure SS -2.1, "Existing and Future Sewer Service Areas ", in the Sanitary Sewer Wastewater Treatment Sub - Element of the Public Facilities Element. Road and Public School improvements will be provided as designated in their respective Schedule of Capital Improvements appearing in this Capital Improvement Element. All other public facilities and service types will be provided on a countywide availability basis. This Policy limits the provision of public facilities to within specific service areas identified in other Elements or Sub - Elements of the GMP or in accordance with the Schedule of Capital Improvements in this Element.

Policy 4.7: The County shall ensure that publicly funded buildings and publicly funded development activities are carried out in a manner that demonstrates best practice to minimize the loss of life, property, and re- building cost from the effects from hurricanes, flooding, natural and technological disaster events. Best practice efforts may include, but are not be limited to: a. Construction above the flood plain; b. Maintaining a protective zone for wildfire mitigation; c. Installation of on -site permanent generators or temporary generator emergency connection points; 8 CAPTTAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT (CIE) 9e d. Beach and dune restoration, re- nourishment, or emergency protective actions to minimize the loss of structures from future events; e. Emergency road repairs; and, f. Repair and /or replacement of publicly owned docking facilities, parking areas, and sea walls. This Policy requires the County to adhere to best practices in providing public facilities. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written. [Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that an additional best practice entry should be included in the listing, such as `All governing construction codes ".J OBJECTIVE 5 (CONCURRENCYMANAGEMENT): Ensure that public facilities, as described in Policy 1.1 above, and services needed to support development are available concurrent with the impacts of such development Policy Relevance: There are six (6) policies within this Objective. Policy 5.1: The concurrency requirement for the Potable Water, Sanitary Sewer - Wastewater Treatment, Drainage Stormwater Management and Solid Waste Disposal Level of Service Standards of this Growth Management Plan will be achieved or maintained if any one of the following standards of the Concurrency Management System is met: A. The necessary facilities and services are in place at the time a final site development plan, final plat or building permit is issued; or B. The necessary facilities and services are under construction at the time a final site development plan, final plat or building permit is issued; or C. The necessary facilities and services are guaranteed in an enforceable development agreement that includes the provisions of paragraphs A and B of this policy. An enforceable development agreement may include, but is not limited to, development agreements pursuant to Section 163.3220, Florida Statutes, or an agreement or development order issued pursuant to Chapter 380, Florida Statutes. The agreement must guarantee that the necessary facilities will be in place when the impacts of the development occur, pursuant to Section 163.3180, Florida Statutes. This Policy provides criteria for establishing concurrency specific to potable water, wastewater treatment, stormwater management and solid waste disposal facilities and services. This Element may be affected by changes to Chapter 163, Florida Statute, which were adopted into law in 2005, as follows: 9 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT (CIE) 9 163.3177(3)(a)5: Required the comprehensive plan to include a 5 -year schedule of capital improvements. Outside funding (i.e., from a developer, or other government or funding pursuant to referendum) of these capital improvements must be guaranteed in the form of a development agreement or interlocal agreement. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained except for changes associated with the renaming of certain public facilities and their attendant Sub - Elements. Explicitly specifying an "interlocal agreement" as the other source of outside funding for capital improvements may or may not require revision of this Element to be in compliance with the above Statutory change. [Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggested that `pathWays' be added to requirements for concurrency.] 10 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT (CIE) SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES 2011 EVALUATION & APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR) Transportation Element Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Element will be revised to reflect the proper formatting for all Goals, Objectives and Policies, as defined below: Goal: General statement defining what the plan will ultimately achieve, typically beginning with "TO" followed by a transitive verb, such as, TO PROTECT or TO ENSURE. Objective: A more specific statement than the stated Goal; describing actions that will help achieve the goal(s), typically beginning with the active verb providing the general direction, such as, "Implement ", "Promote" or "Protect".

Introduction & Background: The purpose of the Transportation Element, as stated in its Goal, is "To plan for, develop and operate a safe, efficient, and cost effective transportation system that provides for both the motorized and non - motorized movement of people and goods throughout Collier County." In order to accomplish this goal, the Transportation Element incorporates data and recommendations from the following reports, plans and studies: ❖ Collier County Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO's) currently adopted Long Range Transportation Plan 2030 Financially Feasible Plan and 2030 Needs Plan. ❖ WO Urban Area Transportation Study. ❖ Collier County Transportation Work Program, FY 2010 — FY 2014. 2030 Traffic Circulation Map. ❖ Collier County Comprehensive Pathway Plan. ❖ Airport Master Plans for Immokalee Regional Airport, Everglades Airpark, and Marco Island Executive Airport. ❖ Public Transportation Development Plan. ❖ Collier County Master Mobility Plan. The Transportation Element is closely linked to the Future Land Use Element (FLUE). The land development pattern, as outlined in the FLUE, necessitates improvements and expansion to the County's transportation system. The two elements are so closely tied, in fact, that changes or shifts in land use patterns can drastically impact the performance of the roadway system. It is for this reason that the County requires most land development proposals (e.g., DRI, PUD, other rezone, and conditional use requests) to submit a Traffic Impact Statement. An analysis of the proposaI's impact is prepared and submitted to the appropriate County review agencies. As an alternative to this scenario of the transportation system reacting to new demands created by changes to land development patterns, the County has begun to explore ways to allow the roadway system to guide the patterns and densities of future land development. The County can determine the type of roadway system it wishes to maintain at some adopted level of service and then can take steps to permit only the types, intensities and location of land uses that will be consistent with that system. Through use of this "checkbook concurrency" process, the County will be in a better position to keep the demand for transportation services from outstripping the capacity of the roadway system. As part of the Transportation Element, the County has established minimum acceptable level of service standards for the existing County Road system. For County facilities, the level of service standard Transportation Element Updated forJanuary 2011 BCC Adoption Hearing 9B to be maintained is either "D" or "E," as measured on a peak hour basis. Several State facilities have been given a minimum LOS "E" standard. In order to prevent sudden unanticipated LOS failures, the County has implemented a "real time" "checkbook accounting" concurrency management process. B. Objectives Analysis: As currently formatted, this Element consists entirely of a Goal (Goal 1), Objectives and Policies. As part of the EAR -based amendments, formatting changes consisting of the addition of a brief introductory statement for the Element and removal of the "1" from the Goal will transpire, so that it is simply the Goal of the Element C. Objectives: Objective 1 - The County will maintain the major roadway system at an acceptable Level of Service by implementing improvements as identified in the Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) or by working directly with other responsible jurisdictions to implement needed improvements to their facilities. Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective requires the County to adopt and maintain Level of Service (LOS) standards for the County Roadway System, to annually review and adjust such standards, and to coordinate County road improvements with the road improvement programs operated by neighboring jurisdictions. The tasks included within this Objective are ongoing through implementation of projects from the 5 -year work program as identified by the projected deficiencies table included in the AUIR. Therefore, this Objective will be retained as written Objective 2 - The County shall maintain the adopted Level of Service standard as provided for in Policy 1.3 by making the improvements identified in the Five (5) Year Work Program. Objective Achievement Analysis: The County demonstrates its success in maintaining adopted Levels of Service through data provided in the AUIR. This Objective also incorporates the County's Five -Year Work Program into the Transportation Element. It has been left without a date reference so as to be able to incorporate the Five -Year Work Program current at any time. This Objective will be retained as currently written. Objective 3 - The County shall provide for the protection and acquisition of existing and future rights -of -way based upon improvement projects identified within the Five Year Work Program and /or the Collier County Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO's) adopted Long -Range Transportation Plan. Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective calls for the preservation of right -of -way for ongoing and future road improvements. This Objective is sufficiently generic that it allows the County Transportation 2 Transportation Element Updated for January 2011 BCCAdoption Hearing o Division to protect and acquire rights -of -way as an ongoing program. This is pending incorporation into the LDC. This Objective will be retained as currently written. Policy 3.3 - The County shall acquire a sufficient amount of right -of -way to facilitate arterial and collector roads of no less than a cross section of six (6) traffic lanes, appropriate turn lanes, medians, bicycle and pedestrian features, drainage canals, a shoulder sufficient for pull offs, and landscaping areas. Exceptions to the right -of -way standard may be considered when it can be demonstrated, through a traffic capacity analysis, that the maximum number of lanes at build -out will be less than the standard. Policy Achievement Analysis: Through use of the LRTP and 5 -year work program roadway corridors necessary to support the future needs are identified and programmed for funding. Utilization of the LRTP helps to determine if a future ROW width of less than that required to support 6 lanes is an appropriate option. This policy will be retained as written. Since the horizon year used in each update of the LRTP is not the expected build -out of Collier County, staff recommends that this policy be retained and corridor width be reevaluated on a case by case basis and not be based solely on the needs limited by the LRTP. Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from Auiust 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — replace "of no less than a cross section of six (6) traffic lanes" with "as appropriate to meet the needs of the LRTP ". Policy 3.4 - Collier County shall acquire rights -of -way for transportation improvements in fee simple, unless otherwise determined appropriate by the Board of County Commissioners based upon a recommendation from the Transportation Administrator. Policy Achievement Analysis: This acquisition language doesn't just apply to lands we condemn or purchase, but also needs to better apply to lands granted or gifted to us. The GMP needs to allow for public access easements, rights -of -way, etc. that are granted without forcing these facilities to be obtained in fee simple. Collier County recommends revising "acquire" to "purchase" and recommends deletion of "based upon a recommendation from the Transportation Administrator." Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment om August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — remove "based upon a recommendation from the Transportation Administrator" from the end of the existing policy. 3 Transportation Element Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption Hearing kI] Policy 3.5 - Within one year of the effective date of this amendment, the County shall prepare and adopt a Thoroughfare Corridor Protection Plan (TCPP) ordinance and land development regulations Policy Achievement Analysis: The County is working towards adoption of a Thoroughfare Corridor Protection Plan (TCPP) ordinance and land development regulations. Suggestions include omitting the "within one year" requirement, and simply state that the County is implementing a TCPP. Collier County recommends revisions to this policy. Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — The CCPC would like a time frame for accomplishing the policy and not to leave it open ended. Objective 4 - The County shall provide for the safe and convenient movement of pedestrians and non - motorized vehicles through the implementation of the Collier County Comprehensive Pathways Plan. Objective Achievement Analysis: The stated purpose of the County's Comprehensive Pathway Plan is to promote walking and bicycling as integral components of Collier County's local, regional and state recreation and transportation programs. That having been stated, the Program is responsible for maintaining and extending the County's bike lanes, sidewalks, and recreational paths. The program has been active for approximately ten (10) years, and relies on a Pathways Advisory Committee to make recommendations as to potential projects, priorities and even Planned Unit Development Applications. Additionally, the comprehensive pathways plan; which outlines goals, objectives and policies, and prioritizes pathway projects, has undergone recent updates. This Objective should be retained as written. Policy 4.1 - The County shall incorporate the Collier County Comprehensive Pathways Plan into this Transportation Element by reference and shall periodically update the Pathways Plan as needed. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remains to be modified as suggested by the CCPC below. The County has incorporated the Collier County Comprehensive Pathways Plan into this Transportation Element by reference and shall periodically update the Pathways Plan as needed. Plann_ inz Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop - Replace "shall" with "should to be consistent with policy 4.3. 4 Transportation Element Updated for January 2011 BCCAdoption Hearing �I� Policy 4.5 - The County shall, to the greatest extent possible, identify state and federal funds and provide local funds for the implementation of the 5 Year Pathways Work Program. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text to be modified as suggested by the CCPC below. The County shall, to the greatest extent possible, identify state and federal funds and provide local funds for the implementation of the 5 Year Pathways Work Program. Collier County Transportation Planning secures millions of dollars in funding every year from agencies as identified in this policy. Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment om August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Remove "to the greatest extent possible "from the policy. Policy 4.6 - The County shall work to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled and Greenhouse Gas Emission by providing for the safe movement of non - motorized vehicles through implementation of its Land Development Code and highway design standards ordinances and shall incorporate bike lanes, sidewalks and pathways, as deemed appropriate, in new construction and reconstruction of roadways. Policy Achievement Analysis: The County provides for the safe movement of non - motorized vehicles through implementation of its Land Development Code and highway design standards ordinances and incorporates bike lanes, sidewalks and pathways, as deemed appropriate, in all new construction and reconstruction of roadways. Staff recommends that this policy be modified to include consideration of HB697. Objective 5 - The County shall coordinate the Transportation System development process with the Future Land Use Map. Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County Comprehensive Planning staff regularly coordinates with Transportation Planning staff on transportation considerations related to proposed GMP Amendments. The two staffs work together annually with regard to the County's Annual Update & Inventory Reports (AUIRs). During the past three years, the staffs have worked together on the amendments establishing the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District of the FLUE, the update of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan, the update of the Immokalee Area Master Plan (ongoing), the proposed extension of Wilson Boulevard into the Rural Fringe Area, and the establishment of the County's checkbook concurrency provisions. The County has acted consistent with this Objective. Therefore, the Objective should be retained as written. Policy 5.1 - The County Commission shall review all rezone petitions, SRA designation applications, conditional use petitions, and proposed amendments to the Future Land 5 Transportation Element Updated for January 2011 BCCAdoption Hearing 9B Use Element (FLUE) affecting the overall countywide density or intensity of permissible development, with consideration of their impact on the overall County transportation system, and shall not approve any petition or application that would directly access a deficient roadway segment or if it impacts an adjacent roadway segment that is deficient, or which significantly impacts a roadway segment or adjacent roadway segment that is currently operating and /or is projected to operate below an adopted Level of Service Standard within the five year planning period, unless specific mitigating stipulations are also approved. Policy Achievement Analysis: Additional language that clarifies "significantly impacted road segment" in regards to the County adopted 2 %- 2 % -3 %, and which clarifies "deficient" should be added to this policy. It is also recommend that language establishing what "mitigation" is, and specifically how it should be applied (in measurable terms) be added. It should also detail what happens when mitigation allows a project to be "consistent" with this policy. Collier County recommends revisions. Policy 5.3 - In order to determine vesting, where desired, all previously approved projects must go through a vesting review pursuant to Subsection 10.02.07.B.6, of the Land Development Code. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 5.3 requires the County to conduct a Traffic Impact Vesting Affirmation Review to determine which developments are vested for concurrency, the schedule of when these developments will be built and the magnitude of traffic that will be generated by these developments. This review was completed, and information from the review was used to provide background data and analysis relative to the County's Transportation Concurrency Management Area and Concurrency Exception Area amendments. Collier County recommends revisions. Consider allowing the County the ability to provide vesting determinations on projects that are under review and that are beyond the build -out date stated in their TIS. Policy 5.4 - Pursuant to Rule 9J- 5.0055(6)(a)3., Florida Administrative Code and the Urban Infill and Urban Redevelopment Strategy contained in the Future Land Use Element of this Plan, the South U.S. 41 Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) is hereby designated. Development located within the South U.S. 41 TCEA (MapTR -4) may be exempt from transportation concurrency requirements, so long as impacts to the transportation system are mitigated using the set procedures. Policy Achievement Analysis: Pursuant to Rule 9J- 5.0055(6)(a)3., Florida Administrative Code and the Urban Infill and Urban Redevelopment Strategy contained in the Future Land Use Element of this Plan, 6 Transportation Element Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption Hearing development located within the South U.S. 41 TCEA (MapTR -4) may be exempt from transportation concurrency requirements, so long as impacts to the transportation system are mitigated using the set procedures. Staff recommends that this policy be modified to include language outlining consistency of mitigation with Policy 5.5, HB697, and SB360. Policy 5.5 - Commercial developments within the South U.S. 41 TCEA that choose to obtain an exception from concurrency requirements for transportation will provide certification from the Transportation Planning Department that at least four Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies will be utilized. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends revisions - Commercial developments within the South U.S. 41 TCEA that choose to obtain an exception from concurrency requirements for transportation must provide certification to the Transportation Planning Department that at least four Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies will be utilized. Monitoring of the use of the TDM strategies must be included in the annual monitoring report and modifications to the applied TDM strategies may be made within the first three years of development if they are deemed ineffective. Staff recommends that this policy be modified to include language outlining consistency of mitigation with HB697 and SB360. Policy 5.6 - The County shall designate Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMAs) to encourage compact urban development where an integrated and connected network of roads is in place that provide multiple, viable alternative travel paths or modes for common trips. Performance within each TCMA shall be measured based on the percentage of lane miles meeting the LOS described in this Transportation Element, Policies 1.3 and 1.4 of this Element. The following Transportation Concurrency Management Areas are designated: Northwest TCMA — This area is bounded by the Collier - Lee County Line on the north side; the west side of the 1 -75 right -of -way on the east side; Pine Ridge Road on the south side; and, the Gulf of Mexico on the west side (Map TR -5). East Central TCMA — This area is bounded by Pine Ridge Road on the north side; Collier Boulevard on the east side; Davis Boulevard on the south side, and; Livingston Road (extended) on the west side (Map TR -6). Policv Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends revisions - Commercial developments within the TCMA must provide certification to the Transportation Planning Department that at least four Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies will be utilized. Monitoring of the use of the TDM strategies must be included in the annual monitoring report and modifications to the applied TDM strategies may be made within the first three years of development if they are deemed ineffective. Staff recommends that this policy be modified to include language outlining consistency of mitigation with Policy 5.5, HB697, and SB360. 7 Transportation Element Updated for January 2011 BCCAdoption Hearing 9B Policy 5.8 - Should the TIS for a proposed development reflect that it will impact either a constrained roadway link and /or a deficient roadway link within a TCMA by more than a de minimis amount (more than I% of the maximum service volume at the adopted LOS), yet continue to maintain the established percentage of lanes miles indicated in Policy 5.7 of this Element, a congestion mitigation payment shall be required Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends revisions - these needs to refer to an annually updated map that defines what the County's recognized hurricane evacuation links are, so the failing ones can be identified. That map MUST be directly related to the AUIR to make this effective. Congestion Mitigation Payment needs to be defined much more clearly. (NEW) Policy 5.9 - Local governments shall adopt by December 1, 2006 a method for assessing proportionate fair -share mitigation options. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends deleting this policy - this has been completed and follows the model developed by FDOT as required by December 1, 2005. The process is clearly outlined in the County's TIS guidelines. Objective 6 - The County shall coordinate the transportation element with the plans and programs of the state, region, and other local jurisdictions. Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective requires the Collier County Transportation Division to coordinate with the transportation programs of other governmental entities. Collier County Transportation staff coordinates with transportation planning and improvement programs implemented by municipalities, neighboring counties, the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council, the Florida Department of Transportation, and the Federal Highway Administration, and will continue to do so. This Objective will be retained as written. Policy 6.3 - The Transportation Element shall be consistent in its interface into the arterial /collector system within the City of Naples, Everglades City and the City of Marco Island. _Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 6.3 requires the County to "be consistent in its interface into the arterial/collector system within the City of Naples and the City of Marco Island." The Policy has to do with establishing and maintaining connections between County and City roads. However, the original intent of this Policy is unclear. For instance, it could apply to the roadway connections themselves, or it could apply to administrative policies or guidelines. The EAR -based amendments should include modification of this policy for clarity. 8 Transportation Element Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption Hearing Policy 6.5 - The Collier County MPO's adopted Long Range Plan has identified a need for an interchange at 1 -75 and Golden Gate Parkway and a grade separated overpass at Airport Pulling Road and Golden Gate Parkway. The above projects are now in the MPO Transportation Improvement Program along with the six - laning of Golden Gate Parkway. The County shall insure that the three projects mentioned above will be fully coordinated in timing and design. Policy Achievement Analysis: The projects listed in this policy have been completed and renders this policy obsolete. Collier County recommends revision of the projects listed to include; I- 75/Everglades Interchange; US- 41/SR-CR951 grade separated overpass; and Randall/Immokalee grade separated overpass. (NEW)Policy 6.6 - Collier County shall encourage emergency egress be permitted at all temporary access facilities. Objective 7 - The County shall develop and adopt standards for safe and efficient ingress and egress to adjoining properties, and shall encourage safe and convenient on -site traffic circulation through the development review process_ Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective requires the County to develop and adopt standards for onsite and external traffic circulation as part of the development review process. The County has adopted such standards and they are applied to rezoning applications and site development permitting for all proposed development within Collier County. This Objective will be retained as written. Policy 7.3 - The County shall implement, through its Zoning Ordinance, the provision of safe and convenient onsite traffic flow and the need for adequate parking for both motorized and non - motorized vehicles as a primary objective in the review of Planned Unit Developments, Site Development Plans, and other appropriate stages of review in the land development application review process. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 7.3 requires the County to implement "the provision of safe and convenient on -site traffic flow and the need for adequate parking for motorized and non- motorized vehicles as a primary objective in the review for Planned Unit Developments, Site Development Plans, and other appropriate stages of review in the land development applications process." Such provisions have been adopted through the County's Zoning Code and are periodically reviewed and updated consistent with established transportation planning criteria. This Policy should be revised to include coordination with County Engineering staff where traffic circulation is outside of the limits of the public ROW. Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Replace the word "shall" with "may" at the beginning of the policy. 9 Transportation Element Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption Hearing 9B- " Policy 7.4 - The County shall develop corridor management plans that take into consideration urban design and landscaping measures that will promote positive development along the major arterial entrances to the urban area. Such plans shall take into account the recommendations of the Community Character Plan, County- sponsored Smart Growth initiatives, and the impacts of the South US 41 Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) and the two (2) Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMAs) as the Board of County Commissioners may periodically appropriate funding for these plans. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 7.4 requires the County to develop Corridor Management Plans for certain roadways. There is a similar requirement within the Future Land Use Element (see Section 1.5.11 of this report). The FLUE provision lists corridors that could be subject to such plans. Collier County recommends amending this to underline the importance of the `smart growth' portion of the policy (i.e. direct the County to adopt and implement smart growth policies). Also to require that any developments that are approved must meet smart growth objectives. Suggest coming up with a list of them, similar to the TDM strategies above. Policy 7.5 - The County shall develop Corridor Access Management Plans. Such plans shall be designed to make median modifications and other operational improvements, including removal of traffic signals, necessary to recapture lost capacity and enhance safety. The development of such plans shall consider the impacts of the South US 41 Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) and the two (2) Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMAs), as may be appropriate. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 7.5 requires the development of Corridor Access Management Plans. Such a plan has been implemented. An EAR -based amendment should include modification of this Policy by changing the first sentence to read "The County has developed and shall continue to effectively implement a Corridor Access Management Policy." Objective 8 - The County shall establish and maintain a " Concurrency Management System" for the scheduling, funding, and timely construction of necessary road facilities. Obiective Achievement Analysis: Sections 2.2 through 2.4 of this report review issues related to Transportation Concurrency Management. Prior to 2003, County staff reviewed all PUD and DRI Applications for compliance with transportation concurrency provisions. As part of the review process, proposed projects were assessed for their transportation impacts and mitigation requirements were assigned to these projects on a case -by -case basis. This system was adequate for evaluating individual projects but did not adequately assess the combined impact of all development on the County's road system. 10 Transportation Element Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption Hearing m During 2003, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a "checkbook concurrency system." This system examines the total trip capacity available for new development and includes provisions relative to vested traffic. As part of the process of establishing the checkbook concurrency system, the County has recently adopted amendments to the Transportation Element, Future Land Use Element and Capital Improvement Element that establish two Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMAs) and a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA). This Objective will be retained as written. Objective 9 - The County shall encourage neighborhood involvement in the establishment and maintenance of safe and pleasant conditions for the residents, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists on neighborhood streets, which are not classified as arterials or collectors through the implementation of the Collier County Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP). In developing strategies and measures to encourage such conditions, the NTMP shall consider the impact of such strategies and measures on the adjacent arterial and collector systems (from a level -of- service and operational standpoint). Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective was adopted in November 2002. It essentially established a program of neighborhood traffic calming measures that can be implemented by a public petition process (from affected residents to the Board of County Commissioners). It has successfully slowed traffic in certain portions of the County where neighborhood streets were being used as "cut - throughs" between two major roadways. This Objective will be retained as written. Policy 9.3 - The County shall require, wherever feasible, the interconnection of local streets between developments to facilitate convenient movement throughout the road network. The Collier County Transportation Division shall develop guidelines, which identify the conditions that would require the interconnection of two neighboring developments, and shall also develop standards and criteria for the safe interconnection of such local streets. Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy needs to better define the term "feasible ". Also, policies in Objective 7of the GMP, not including the Transportation Element, addresses interconnection and should be defined in relation to Policy 9.3. Objective 10 - The County shall encourage safe and efficient mobility for the rural public. Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective is a catchall for County transportation programs that operate within Collier County's rural areas. As such the Objective is intended to cover policies that deal with a range of different transportation tasks. Staff recommends that this Objective be revised to read "The County shall encourage safe and efficient mobility for the rural public that remains consistent with the character of the rural areas of Collier County ". 11 Transportation Element Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption Hearing 99 Objective 11 - The County shall maintain County owned airport facilities as attractive, efficient, safe, and environmentally compatible facilities, consistent with the approved Airport Master Plan for each Airport. Obiective Achievement Analysis: Collier County owns and operates three (3) airports: Immokalee Regional Airport, in Immokalee; Everglades Airpark, in Everglades City; and Marco Island Executive Airport, located three miles north of the City of Marco Island in southwestern Collier County. Each of the airports is required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to prepare and periodically update an Airport Master Plan that details facility needs and proposed expansions or changes for each airport. The purpose of the above Objective is to incorporate (by reference) these Airport Master Plans into the Transportation Element. This Objective will be retained as written. Policy 11.2 - The Collier County Airport Authority shall determine the most cost effective and efficient means for implementing future facility plans outlined within the airport master plans. Policv Achievement Analysis: Policy 11.2 gives the Collier County Airport Authority responsibility for future facility planning, consistent with the Airport Master Plans. Staff recommends that this policy be revised to require the BOCC review and approve the requested Airport Authority Master Plan. Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop-- Replace "Collier County Airport Authority" with "Collier County Board of County Commissioners". The Airport Authority only makes recommendations to the Board. Policy 11.3 - The Collier County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) has assisted Everglades City in obtaining Federal funds to enable the City to maintain and operate the Everglades Air Park. Given the assistance provided to Everglades City by the MPO, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners shall coordinate with the Everglades City Council to ensure a safe and orderly transfer of the Everglades Airpark and all related facilities to Everglades City for use as a public airport only. Such transfer shall be in a manner that does not compromise the safety of the Airpark and the future facility plans authorized by the Everglades Airpark Master Plan. In the event the Airpark ceases operation or ceases to operate as a public Airpark, the Airpark property will revert back to Collier County. Conditions of a transfer and reverter provisions will be set forth in a transfer document or the deed for transfer. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remains due to transfer of Everglades Airpark has not transpired, but discussions between the County and Everglades City is still in- progress. 12 Transportation Element Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption Hearing • Planninz Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25 2010 EAR Workshop — The CCPC would like staff to check on the status of the transfer and the results will dictate how the policy is modified. Objective 12 - The County shall encourage the efficient use of transit services now and in the future. Obiective Achievement Analysis: This Objective is the location for all policies related to planning, operation, coordination and expansion of the Collier Area Transit (CAT) System. The CAT System is administered through the County's Traffic Operations & Alternative Transportation Modes Department with the aid of other Departments within the County's Transportation Administration (see the policies below). The CAT System began operation in February 2001 and in its first twelve months of service, provided over 211,000 passenger trips. Ridership has grown since that time. Therefore, this Objective will be retained as written. Policy 12.8 - Any adopted transit development plan shall include an acceptable level of service standard for transit facilities. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 12.8 requires the transit development plan to include "an acceptable level of service standard for transit facilities." The adopted plan does include several such levels of service standards, to be used as indicators of the effectiveness and efficiency of the County Transit System. Additionally, staff notes that Section 163.3180 (4) (b), Florida Statutes, was amended in 2001 to exempt transit systems from concurrency. Therefore, staff recommends that the EAR -based amendments include deletion of this Policy. Objective 13 - The County shall evaluate the creation of a separate Transit Element in the Growth Management Plan. Obiective Achievement Analysis: This proposed new Objective shall evaluate and take into consideration the expansion of multi -modal transportation systems. This objective shall create a set of policies that are consistent with increased use of alternative modes of transportation, appropriate mitigation for development creating significant impacts to the transportation network, and full consistency with the goals and objectives of H13697. Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Develop a policy that states the County shall develop a Mobility Element to the GMP based upon the conclusion of the Master Mobility Plan to give alternative means of transportation an equal footing within the GMP. 13 Transportation Element Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption Nearing 9B SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES 2011 EVALUATION & APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR) Public Facilities Element — Sanitary Sewer Sub - Element Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Sub - Element will be revised to reflect the proper formatting for all Goals, Objectives and Policies, as defined below: Goal: General statement defining what the plan will ultimately achieve, typically beginning with "TO" followed by a transitive verb, such as, TO PROTECT or TO ENSURE. Objective: A more specific statement than the stated Goal; describing actions that will help achieve the goal(s), typically beginning with the active verb providing the general direction, such as, "Implement ", "Promote" or "Protect". Objectives use the term "will" and allow Policies to specifically require an activity with "shall ". Policies: Specific statements that provide directives on how to achieve the objectives and ultimately the Sub - Element's goals, typically beginning with phrases like, "The County shall promote...", "The County shall continue to..." or "The District shall expand...'.' or similar phrases. Policies use the terms "may" or "shall" to provide specific direction. Goals, Objective and Policies.: The entire Sub- Element should be revised to reflect Department name changes, designee changes, renumbering due to objective and/or policy additions and/or deletions, and grammatical changes. To be renamed, including Sub - Element, Goal and throughout Objectives and Policies Objective 1 — minor revisions to provide new departmental references; reformatting Policy 1.1 — minor revision to be more inclusive of jurisdictions under the Plan.

Sanitary Sewer Sub - Element — Attached Documents — Numerous changes, with direction to cross- check GMP locations where similar references to maps & figures are found. — Additional changes to Figure SS -1 and related Figures to reflect District boundary changes associated with RFMUD Sending Lands boundary adjustments — two main areas; 1 on south side of Immokalee Road. 2 SANITARY SEWER SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES Assessment of the Successes & Shortcomings 9 B and Recommendations for the Public Facilities Element — Sanitary Sewer Sub - Element A. Introduction & Background: The purpose of the Sanitary Sewer Sub - Element is defined within its single Goal, which reads as follows: TO PROTECT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC BY ENSURING ACCESS TO ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND, COST EFFECTIVE AND IMPLEMENTABLE SANITARY SEWER FACILITIES AND SERVICES. The intent of the Sanitary Sewer Sub - Element is to assure the provision of efficient and economical services that would enable the citizens of Collier County to meet their needs for wastewater management while also assuring public health and safety in accordance with the criteria set forth in Rule 9J -5, F.A.C., and Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. The provision of public facilities and services for wastewater treatment is.planned in correlation with future land use projections. The annual update and amendment to the Capital Improvement Element, adopted January 28, 2008 included the initial step toward re- naming of this Sub - Element from the "Sanitary Sewer" Sub - Element to the "Wastewater Treatment" Sub- Element. The new name should be used in all titles, headings and text within this Sub - Element, and in all references to this Sub- Element found throughout the Growth Management Plan. As currently formatted, this Sub - Element consists entirely of a single Goal, and its supporting Objectives and Policies. As part of the EAR -based amendments, Comprehensive Planning staff is recommending specific formatting changes for the Sub - Element. In addition, the Sub - Element contains a number of references to the County's Water & Sewer District. The District's official name is the "Collier County Water -Sewer District ", and the Sub - Element text needs to reflect this. B. Objectives Analysis: OBJECTIVE 1: The County will implement the following policies to make certain that public and private sector sanitary sewer service utilities provide, repair and/or replace sanitary sewer collection, treatment and disposal facilities to correct existing deficiencies in their respective service areas, as may be required to meet or exceed the Level of Service Standards established in this Plan. In addition, public sector sanitary sewer service utilities will be expanded as necessary to provide for future growth. Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective concerns both private and public utilities. Collier County's private water and wastewater utilities are regulated through the Utility /Franchise Regulation Section of the Community Development & Environmental Services (CDES) Operations Department. This agency serves as staff for the Collier County Water and Wastewater Authority. The Utility /Franchise Regulation Section is the County entity responsible for monitoring compliance with County regulations by private utilities. PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — SANITARY SEWER SUB - ELEMENT In addition to managing the operations of the Department and Section, the CDES Operations Director is also the Executive Director for the Water and Wastewater Authority. In regulating the operations of the County's private utilities the Authority, which is appointed by the Board of County Commissioners, exercises considerable power. They may set rates, adjust franchise boundaries, set quality of service standards and intervene in disputes between utilities and customers. The publicly owned (as opposed to privately- owned) wastewater collection system is operated by Collier County through the Collier County Water -Sewer District. The District is responsible for developing, operating and maintaining the County 's public facilities related to wastewater treatment and collection. Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective" and specific references to County Departments and Sections should reflect CDES' recent reorganization, including the Operations and Regulatory Management Department [and Director], of the Growth Management Division. Policy Relevance: There are seven (7) policies within this Objective. Policy 1.1: Continue the development of the Collier County Water -Sewer District consistent with the Capital Improvements Element to provide for future growth. This Policy calls for the continuing development of the County's Water -Sewer District. This Policy remains relevant and should be rewritten not to be utility specific, but to mention those jurisdictions, generally, that have a wastewater treatment or sewer district or service to develop consistent with the GMP. Policy 1.3: The Collier County Water and Wastewater Authority (Authority), established by County Ordinance Number 96-6, regulates the operations of private sector wastewater treatment utilities that provide sanitary sewer services to portions of unincorporated Collier County. All such private sector sanitary sewer service providers are required to meet the County's adopted wastewater treatment Level of Service (LOS). All private sector sanitary sewer service providers shall file an annual statement with the Authority that provides current operating information including, but not limited to: a- statement of current policies and service criteria, the LOS maintained by the service provider and whether such level of service meets the County's LOS Standard for wastewater treatment. The annual report shall also document any necessary or projected facility expansion and/or replacement projects that are required to correct observed deficiencies. This Policy requires, to the extent of County authority, private wastewater treatment utilities to report current operating information and proposed system expansions or modifications to the County, including a statement as to how the proposed activity is consistent with the County's Growth Management Plan. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written. 2 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — SANITAR Y SEWER SUB- ELEMENT [Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that meeting these requirements should come at no cost to the County. The CCPC also suggests considering a combination of .1-year reporting, and 5-year reviewing, requirements.] Policy 1.4: For any new structure in which plumbing fixtures are to be installed and which is proposed to be connected to a private sector sanitary sewer service utility, the developer is required to provide a letter of adequate capacity from that private utility to the Collier County Building Review and Permitting Department at the time of application for the first building permit, pursuant to Collier County Ordinance Number 80 -112. This Policy requires developers intending to connect to private wastewater treatment or sanitary sewer facilities to demonstrate such facilities will provide them with adequate capacity. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written. Policy 1.5: Collier County shall permit development of package sewage treatment plant systems in areas identified in Policy 1.2, on an interim basis until County service is available. The County shall allow individual septic systems within the County only when connection to an existing central system is not within 200 lineal feet of the closest property line. In portions of the County where septic systems are allowed, at such time as County or other central sewer service becomes available within 200 lineal feet of the property, line, said septic systems will be required to connect to the appropriate central sanitary sewer system. Within the Rural lands Stewardship Overlay, consistent with Policy 1.2: septic systems are permitted within Hamlets; septic systems may or may not be permitted in Compact Rural Developments one hundred (100) acres or less in size depending upon the permitted uses in the Compact Rural Development; and, septic systems are not permitted in Towns, Villages, and those Compact Rural Developments greater than one hundred (100) acres in size. However, in Towns, Villages, and those Compact Rural Developments greater than one hundred (100) acres in size, septic systems are allowed to serve no more than 100 acres, on an interim basis only, until central service is available. This Policy allows development of new or expanded wastewater treatment and sanitary sewer systems in certain portions of unincorporated Collier County on an interim basis. It also allows the use of individual septic systems in areas where County or other central wastewater treatment service is unavailable. This Policy remains relevant but should be revised to replace "until County water service is available" with "until a centralized wastewater treatment system service is available". This includes mapping changes and new map information derived from the private, or smaller, providers or districts. Policy 1.7: Where Community Development Districts, or similar special districts are established to provide a tool for developers to finance infrastructure or other purposes, wholly or partially within the Collier County Water -Sewer District, sewer service shall be connected to the regional system, and all facilities shall be conveyed, when acceptable, to the Collier County Water -Sewer District for operation and ownership in accordance with Collier County Ordinance Number 01- 57, adopted October 23, 2001, and District construction and operating policies. This Policy requires Community Development Districts, or other special infrastructure districts, to connect to the County Utility System when they are located within the Collier County Water -Sewer 3 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — SANITARYSEWER SUB - ELEMENT District Service Area, and remains relevant. An Ordinance cite is outdated and this Policy should be revised to replace "Ordinance Number 01 -57, adopted October 23, 2001 " with "Ordinance Number 04 -31, adopted May 11, 2004 ". OBJECTIVE 2: No development order shall be issued by Collier County without sanitary sewer facility capacity that meets or exceeds the minimum Level of Service Standards established herein is available or will be available to serve the development under the guidelines established for concurrency in the Capital Improvement Element of this Plan. Objective Achievement Anal This Objective is the County's concurrency provision for wastewater treatment capacity. The Collier County Water -Sewer District achieves concurrency of its stated LOS standard. The disclosure of this achievement is reported within the periodic updates of the County's Wastewater Master Plan. This Objective is being achieved and should be retained, only if rewritten. This Objective should be reformatted to separate the portion that reads as an "objective" from the portion that reads as a "policy" into the individual "Objective 2" and Policy "2.0.1 ". Policy Relevance: There are four (4) policies within this Objective. Policy 2.1: The following Level of Service (LOS) standards are hereby adopted and shall be used as the basis for determining the availability of facility capacity and the demand generated by a development: FACILITY SERVICE AREA Collier County Facilities North Sewer Service Area South Sewer Service Area Southeast Sewer Service Area Northeast Sewer Service Area Marco Island Sewer District Marco Shores City of Naples Facilities Unincorporated Service Area Everglades City Facilities Unincorporated Service Area LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARD 145 gpcd 100 gpcd 120 gpcd 120 gpcd 100 gpcd 145 gpcd 100 gpcd Independent Districts Orangetree Utilities 100 gpcd Immokalee Water and Sewer District 100 gpcd Florida Governmental Utility Authority 100 gpcd 4 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SANITARYSEWER SUB - ELEMENT Private Sector Systems * * The standards hereby adopted are the sewage flow design standards in Chapter 64E -6008, Florida Administrative Code, unless otherwise approved by the Board of County Commissioners to address economic, social and construction method variations between individual systems. This Policy establishes Level of Service (LOS) standards for various Collier County wastewater treatment facilities, both public and private. This Policy should be revised to update the Level of Service Standards, as the Collier County Facilities North Sewer Service Area LOSS is now 120 gpcd. The Policy should be revised to indicate the LOS standard for Ave Maria Water and Wastewater facilities, which are inside the County. The LOSS for wastewater treatment appearing in Policy 2.1 above is one of two locations within this GMP where these standards are shown. The other location is Policy 1.5, subsection "E" in the Capital Improvement Element. This dualism may be a simple matter of unnecessary redundancy, except that the two Policies are not the same. These differences should be reconciled and a single location selected for these LOSS to appear. If it is decided to show the LOSS in both locations, then the CIE could be formatted to provide the LOS Standards, while the Sub - Element entries could elaborate on the figures. This Policy will remain relevant in its reconciled- format. [Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27 2010 EAR Workshop — Supporting staff suggestion to locate Level of Service Standards in the CIE, with this Sub- Element being revised to direct readers'to the ClE for this information.] Policy 2.4: The County shall annually review historical sanitary sewer demand records and adjust the LOS standards, as referenced in Policy 2.1, if so indicated by said annual review. This Policy remains relevant and requires an annual review of wastewater treatment demand records, with adjustment of the LOS Standards, as necessary, based upon the findings of the annual review. This Policy should be revised to replace "County" with "Collier County Water and Wastewater Authority" and add a second sentence, such as, "The Collier County Water -Sewer District shall review historical sanitary sewer demand records during Collier County Wastewater Master Plan updates and adjust the LOS standards, as referenced in Policy 2.1, if needed " and retained as rewritten. OBJECTIVE 3: The County will continue to ensure utilization of environmentally sound and economically beneficial methods for disposal of treated sludge and septage, and shall also ensure that such practices are followed by private utilities regulated by the County. 5 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — SANITARY SEWER SUB - ELEMENT Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective ensures the County will employ appropriate sludge and septage disposal practices involving both public and private services. This Objective is being achieved and as such, it should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". Policy Relevance: Policy 3.1: The County shall maintain sludge de- watering and stabilization facilities for use by County wastewater treatment operations to produce sludge de watered and stabilized to a degree suitable for use as cover material for County landfills or to be used for any suitable manner that is permitted by law. The County shall ensure that private wastewater utilities regulated by the County follow such practices. This Policy remains relevant and requires sludge de- watering and stabilization facilities to be included in all County wastewater treatment plants. The facilities are required to produce sludge de- watered and stabilized to a degree suitable to enable its use as cover material for County landfills or to be used for any suitable manner that is permitted by law. The stabilization facilities at the North County Water Reclamation Facility were abandoned in 1999 due to odor concerns. The County currently hauls biosolids to a sanitary landfill on an interim basis until biosolid stabilization facilities can be obtained to meet FAC Chapter 62 -640 and USEPA 40 CFR Part 503. This Policy should be retained as written. As part of the EAR -based amendments, the County proposes a new Policy requiring private sludge and septage to be treated prior to its disposal to a degree equivalent to that employed at the County facilities. OBJECTIVE 4: The County will continue to promote the use of treated purposes in order to provide an environmentally sound potable water and groundwater supplies by developing comprehensive strategy for the following Policies. Objective Achievement Analysis: wastewater effluent for irrigation disposal method and to conserve and implementing an integrated, This Objective is being achieved and commits the County to promoting the use of reclaimed water as an irrigation source for suitable properties. This language is similar to language contained in Objective 1.4 of the Potable Water Sub - Element (refer to the Potable Water Section of this Report). The County has an active reclaimed water irrigation program. Therefore staff recommends retention of this Objective, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". Policy Relevance: There are seven (7) policies within this Objective. The Objective and policies are similar to Objective 4 and its policies within the Potable Water Sub - Element (refer to the Potable Water Section of this Report). 6 P UBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — SANITARY SEWER SUB - ELEMENT WAKA Policy 4.7: The County shall seek to expand the availability of irrigation water from supplemental sources through connection of such sources to the County's reclaimed water system. This Policy remains relevant and requires that dual water systems within Community Development Districts, other special districts, and Planned Unit Developments be connected to the Regional (County) system, at such time as the system is available for such connection. This Policy should be deleted or rewritten to not be utility specific. OBJECTIVE 5: The County will discourage urban sprawl and the proliferation of private sector sanitary sewer service suppliers in an effort to maximize the use of existing public facilities through the development order approval process by implementing the following policies. Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective is being achieved and seeks to discourage urban sprawl through maximization of existing public wastewater treatment utilities. Further, the Objective states that this action will be achieved through the local development review process. The Public Utilities Engineering Department coordinates with the Zoning & Land Development Review Department in the review of development order applications to ensure that the requirements of this Objective are met. Therefore, this Objective should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". Consideration should be given to revisions that recognize the importance of reducing GHG emissions in furtherance of HB 697. Policy Relevance: There are three (3) policies within this Objective. The Objective and policies are similar to Objective 5 and its policies within the Potable Water Sub - Element (refer to the Potable Water Section of this Report). Policy 5.3: As provided for in the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay, and in Policy 1.2, central sewer facilities are permitted in Towns, Villages, Hamlets, and Compact Rural Developments. Though not anticipated, it is possible that central sanitary sewer collection lines may extend through lands not designated as a Town, Village, Hamlet or Compact Rural Development; no properties designated other than as a Town, Village, Hamlet or Compact Rural Development are permitted to connect to these collection lines. Under criteria, properties may be eligible for central sanitary sewer service from Collier County Utilities, or a private sector utility or independent district, within the Receiving Areas identified in the Rural Transition Water and Sewer District, depicted on the Existing and Future Sewer Service Areas map (Figure SS -2) of the Sanitary Sewer Sub - element, subject to availability. Qualifying criteria shall be limited to the requirements and incentives established in the Future Land Use and Conservation and Coastal Management Elements of this Plan to obtain preservation standards established for environmentally sensitive lands in the Sending Areas of the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District. Criteria for central sanitary sewer service eligibility may include, but are not limited to, plans for development which utilize creative planning techniques such as clustering, density blending, rural villages, and TDRs from identified environmentally sensitive areas. Criteria for 7 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — SANITARY SEWER SUB - ELEMENT eligibility may be amended and additional Sending and Receiving Lands may be designated in the future. Central Sanitary Sewer collection lines, within the Rural Transition Water and Sewer District, may extend through Sending Lands; however, no properties designated as Sending Lands may connect to the collection lines. This Policy remains relevant and contains the conditions for connection of development within the RLSA and the Rural Fringe to a central sanitary sewer system. Specifically, the Policy states that "no properties designated other than as a Town, Village, Hamlet or Compact Rural Development" (within the RLSA) are permitted to connect to a central sanitary sewer system. The Policy also states conditions for connections within the Rural Transition Water & Sewer District (i.e., the County's Rural Fringe Mixed Use District). This Policy should be revised to replace "Collier County Utilities" in the third sentence with "Collier County Water -Sewer District". CONSIDER INTRODUCING A NEW OBJECTIVE AND SUBSEQUENT POLICY OR POLICIES FOLLOWING FROM THE 2009 ADOPTION OF HB 697. [Public Comment from March IS, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting the County should study ideas to target GHG sources — beside transportation, to address a lack of energy efficient plans, to address the need to plan for sea level rise. j [!!lannin -p Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the amount of change introduced with Objectives and Policies following from the adoption of HB 697may be misplaced and consideration for any such change may serve better if consolidated to address multiple Elements or Sub - Elements at another location , and should be removed from the/ as a proposed revision. j C.

Introduction & Background: The purpose of the Potable Water Sub- Element is defined within its single Goal, which reads as follows: TO PROTECT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC BY ENSURING ACCESS TO ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND, COST EFFECTIVE AND IMPLEMENTABLE POTABLE WATER FACILITIES AND SERVICES. The intent of the Potable Water Sub - Element is to assure the provision of efficient and economical services that would enable the citizens of Collier County to meet their needs for a potable water supply while also assuring public health and safety in accordance with the criteria set forth in Rule 9J -5, F.A.C., and Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. The provision of public facilities and services for potable water supply, stormwater management, floodplain management and flood protection, and aquifer recharge area protection and watershed management are planned in correlation with future land use projections. This Goal should be expanded to fully capture the County's goals in these areas and ensure collaboration in implementing Objectives and applying Policies. These interdepartmental colaborations should also be recognized, and strengthend if necessary, in the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME) and Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) of this Growth Management Plan. As currently formatted, this Sub - Element consists entirely of a single Goal, and its supporting Objectives and Policies. As part of the EAR -based amendments, Comprehensive Planning staff is recommending specific formatting changes for the Sub- Element. In addition, the Sub - Element contains a number of references to the County's Water & Sewer District. The District's official name is the "Collier County Water -Sewer District," and the Sub - Element text needs to reflect this. B. Objectives Analysis: OBJECTIVE 1: The County will locate and develop potable water supply sources to meet the future needs of the County owned and operated systems, said supply sources meeting — the minimum Level of Service Standards established by this Plan. The development and utilization of new potable water supply sources and the acquisition of land necessary for such development shall be based upon the information, guidelines and procedures identified within the County's Ten -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (as updated annually), the Collier County Water -Sewer Master Plan, and the Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan prepared by the South Florida Water Management District. Objective Achievement Analysis: Section 3.2 of this EAR contains an analysis of the Collier County Growth Management Plan, including the Potable Water Sub - Element, relative to compliance with the South Florida Water 1 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — POTABLE WATER SUB -ELEMENT Management District's (SFWMD s) Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan. Additionally, the staff of the Collier County Public Utilities Division has prepared a Ten -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan. This Work Plan is to be transmitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs at the conclusion of the SFWMD s update of the Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan. Along with the Work Plan, County staff will be transmitting related amendments to the Potable Water Sub - Element and the Capital Improvement Element. Both the Work Plan and the Sub- Element are based upon the County's adopted Water Master Plan Update. The Master Plan utilizes population projections prepared by the Collier County Comprehensive Planning Department, approved by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and accepted by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). As part of the EAR -based amendments, Objective I should be revised to delete the reference to the County Water Master Plan and the word "annually" that is in parentheses after the Ten -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". Policy Relevance: There are currently seven (7) policies within this Objective. Policy 1.1: The County shall continue to expand the ASR (Aquifer Storage and Recovery) system as a potential emergency and seasonal potable water source. This Policy calls for the continuing expansion of the County's Aquifer Storage & Recovery (ASR) Program. This Policy remains relevant and should be rewritten not to be utility specific, but to mention those jurisdictions, generally, that have an ASR Program to expand. [Public Comment from February 23, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting that there is a concern over the potential waste of re -use water; asking if re -use water can be treated to a standard satisfactory as a drinking water source, and; observing that water should not be treated to a standard of which there is not a demand] Policy 1.3: The County shall continue to identify sufficient quantities of water sources to meet the County's estimated growth- related needs. Potential water sources to meet the County's 2025 water demands include raw water from Hawthorn Zone I Aquifer (Intermediate Aquifer System) and Lower Hawthorn Aquifer (Florida Aquifer System), identified within the County's 2005 Water Master Plan. The County shall use these water sources as well as alternative sources, as permitted by the State, to meet the County's needs. This Policy requires the County to identify sufficient water supply sources to address future needs. This Sub- Element may be affected by changes to Chapter 163, Florida Statute, which were adopted into law in 2005, as follows: 2 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— POTABLE WATER SUB- ELEMENT 163.3191(2)(1): The Evaluation and Appraisal Report must determine whether the local government has been successful in identifying alternative water supply projects, including conservation and reuse, needed to meet projected demand. Also, the Report must identify the degree to which the local government has implemented its 10 -year water supply workplan. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. Reporting the County's success in identifying alternative water sources and the degree to which the 10 -year workplan has been implemented may or may not require revision of this Sub- Element to be in compliance with the above Statutory change. This Policy should be revised to delete the second sentence referring to water sources only if allowed by Statute and reword the last sentence to "The County shall seek supply from all permissible sources of raw water cited in the Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan to meet the County's needs. " [Public Comment from February 23, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting the County should develop new tools to predict future water availability.] Policy 1.5: The County shall coordinate with the South Florida Water Management District in the development of the Water Master Plan Update, which is the primary planning document for the Collier County Water -Sewer District. This Policy requires the County to identify sufficient water supply sources to address future needs. The Water Master Plan document does not cover all areas and jurisdictions in the County and this reference should be changed. This Policy should be revised to replace "Water Master Plan Update " with "Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan " and to replace "the Collier County Water -Sewer District " with "Collier County ". Policy 1.6: The County shall coordinate with the South Florida Water Management District to produce Plans for water supply as described within the Water Master Plan Updates that ensure the County's ability to maintain its stated Level of Service standard. This Policy calls for continuation of a County program for protecting existing and potential water supply sources. Protection of existing and potential water supply sources is under the jurisdiction of the County's Pollution Control Department. This Policy should be revised to replace "Water Master Plan Updates " with "Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan ". [Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Questioning the status of and responsibility for monitoring and maintaining our water resources.] OBJECTIVE 2: The County shall implement the following policies to make certain that public and private sector potable water service utilities provide, repair and/or replace potable water supply, treatment and distribution facilities to correct existing deficiencies in their respective service areas as may be required to meet or exceed the Level of Service Standards established in this 3 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— POTABLE WATER SUB - ELEMENT 9 B Plan. In addition, public sector potable water service utilities will be expanded as necessary to provide for future growth, as provided for in the following policies. Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County's private water and wastewater utilities are regulated through the Utility & Franchise Regulation Section of the Community Development & Environmental Services (CDES) Operations Department. This agency serves as staff for the Collier County Water and Wastewater Authority. The Utility & Franchise Regulation Section is the County entity responsible for monitoring compliance with County regulations by the various private utilities located in Collier County. In addition to managing the operations of the Department and Section, the CDES Operations Director is also the Executive Director for the Water and Wastewater Authority. The Authority is the regulatory entity for the four (4) utility franchises operating in Collier County. In regulating the operations of the County's private utilities the Authority, which is appointed by the Board of County Commissioners, exercises considerable power. They may set rates, adjust franchise boundaries, set quality of service standards and intervene in disputes between utilities and customers. The publicly owned (as opposed to privately owned) water supply system is operated by Collier County as the Collier County Water District. The District is responsible for developing, operating and maintaining all of the County 's public facilities related to potable water treatment and distribution. This Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". rf lanning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting this language be strengthened to be fully inclusive and clear about non -County supplies and suppliers.] Policy Relevance: There are six (6) policies within this Objective. Policy 2.1: The Collier County Water-Sewer District shall continue the development of a Collier County Regional Potable Water System consistent with the Capital Improvement Element and the Collier County Water -Sewer Master Plan to correct existing deficiencies and provide for future growth. This Policy calls for the County to continue development of a Regional Potable Water Utility System. This Policy should be deleted or rewritten to not be utility specific - - - include both Water — Sewer District and the County Water and Wastewater Authority; replace Master Plan with 10 -Year Water Supply Plan. Post EAC Workshop comment: Reference to: County Water —Sewer Master Plan OK to read as: County 10 -Year Water Supply Plan, and not Lower West Coast Supply Plan. 4 P UBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — POTABLE WATER SUB - ELEMENT Policy 2.4: 9 B Collier County shall permit development of potable water supply systems as follows: within the Designated Urban Areas of the Plan, including the outlying urban areas of Immokalee, Copeland, Chokoloskee, Plantation Island, and Port of the Islands; within the areas depicted on the Collier County Water District Boundaries map (Figure PW -1); within the Existing and Future Potable Water Service Areas map (Figure PW -2), which includes the Rural Transition Water and Sewer District; in Sending Lands within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District when Density Blending, as provided for in the Density Rating System of the Future Land Use Element, is utilized; in Towns, Villages, Hamlets and Compact Rural Developments within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay; and, in areas where the County has legal commitments to provide facilities and services as of the date of adoption of this Plan. For lands located within the Collier County Water -Sewer District, but in which County water service is not currently available, non -County potable water supply systems shall only be allowed on an interim basis until County service is available. Individual potable water supply wells may be permitted within the areas depicted on the Collier County Water District Boundaries map (Figure PW -1) on an interim basis until County water service is available; individual potable water supply wells may be permitted in all Urban designated areas outside of the areas depicted on Figure PW -1 on an interim basis until a centralized potable water supply system is available; individual potable water supply wells may be permitted in the Rural Transition Water and Sewer District, depicted on the Existing and Future Potable Water Service Areas map (Figure PW -2), on an interim basis until County water service is available; individual potable water supply wells may be permitted in Sending Lands within the Rural, Fringe Mixed Use District when Density Blending, as provided for in the Density Rating System of the Future Land Use Element, is utilized, on an interim basis until County water service is available; and, individual potable water supply wells may be permitted on lands outside of the Urban designated areas, outside of areas depicted on Figure PW -1, and outside of Towns, Villages and those Compact Rural Developments greater than one hundred (100) acres in size within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay — all areas where potable water supply systems are not anticipated. However, individual potable water supply wells may or may not be permitted within Compact Rural Developments one hundred (100) acres or less in size, depending upon the uses permitted within the Compact Rural Development Also, in Towns, Villages, and those Compact Rural Developments greater than one hundred (100) acres in size, potable water supply wells are allowed to serve no more than 100 acres, on an interim basis only, until central service is available. This Policy remains relevant and allows development of new or expanded potable water systems in certain portions of unincorporated Collier County. It also allows the use of individual water supply wells in areas where County or other central water supply service is unavailable. This Policy should be revised to replace "until County water service is available " with a more inclusive statement, such as, "until a centralized potable water supply system service is available ". This includes mapping changes and new map information derived from the private, or smaller, providers or districts. Policy 2.5: The County shalt continue enforcement of ordinances requiring connection of existing and new development to central potable water systems when they become available. Connections to a central system shall be made pursuant to Collier County Ordinance 01 -73, adopted December 11, 2001. This Policy calls for the County to continue enforcing mandatory connection to a central water supply system, when such is available. This Policy should be revised to add "as amended" to the end of the last sentence. 5 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— POTABLE WATER SUB - ELEMENT Policy 2.6: Where Community Development Districts, or other similar special districts are established to provide a tool for developers to finance infrastructure or other purposes, wholly or partially within the Collier County Water-Sewer District, water service shall be connected to the regional system, and internal facilities shall be conveyed, when acceptable, to the Collier County Water - Sewer District for operation and ownership in accordance with Collier County Ordinance 01- 57, adopted October 23, 2001, or its latest revision, and District construction and operating policies. This Policy requires Community Development Districts, or other Special Districts to connect to County water facilities when such are available. This Policy should be revised to replace "Ordinance 01 -57, adopted October 23, 2001 " with "Ordinance 04 -31, adopted May 11, 2004 ". OBJECTIVE 3: Pursuant to Chapter 163.3202, F S., including any amendments thereto, Collier County has implemented procedures to ensure that at the time a development order is issued, potable water facility capacity that meets or exceeds the minimum Level of Service Standards established herein is available or will be available to serve the development under the guidelines established for concurrency in the Capital Improvement Element of this Plan. Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective is the County's potable water concurrency provision. The Collier County Water -Sewer District achieves concurrency of its stated LOS standard. The disclosure of this achievement is reported within the periodic updates of the County's Water Master Plan. This Objective is being achieved and it should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". Add the parenthetical "(LOS)" or "(LOSS)" to allow use of acronyms in subsequent Policies. Policy Relevance: There are four (4) policies within this Objective. Policy 3.1: The following Level of Service Standards are hereby adopted and shall be used as the basis for determining the availability of facility capacity and the demand generated by a development: Review of the historical ratio of residential to non - residential demand indicated that approximately 17% of the total water usage is non - residential. Thus, the residential demand is 154 gpcd and the total finished water demand is 185 gpcd. 6 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— POTABLE WATER SUB - ELEMENT FACILITY CAPACITY FACILITYISERVICE AREA LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARD Collier County Water -Sewer District 185 gpcd Goodland Water District 185 gpcd Marco Island Water District Marco Shores 185 gpcd CITY OF NAPLES FACILITIES Unincorporated Service Area 185gpcd EVERGLADES CITY FACILITIES Unincorporated Service Area 185 gpcd INDEPENDENT DISTRICTS Orangetree Utilities 1009pcd Immokalee Water and Sewer District 100gpcd Florida Governmental Utilities Authority 100gpcd This Policy remains relevant and lists the Level of Service (LOS) Standards for the various Collier County potable water utilities, both public and private. This Policy should be revised to delete the second paragraph and update the Level of Service Standards, as the Collier County Water -Sewer District is now 170 gpcd. The Policy should be revised to indicate the LOS standard for- Ave Maria Water and Wastewater facilities, which are inside the County. The LOSS for wastewater treatment appearing in Policy 3.1 above is one of two locations within this GMP where these standards are shown. The other location is Policy 1.5; subsection "D" in the Capital Improvement Element. This dualism may be a simple matter of unnecessary redundancy, except that the two Policies are not the same. These differences should be reconciled and a single location selected for these LOSS to appear. If it is decided to show the LOSS in both locations, then the CIE could be formatted to provide the LOS Standards, while the Sub - Element entries could elaborate on the figures. This Policy will remain relevant in its reconciled format. [Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Supporting staff suggestion to locate Level of Service Standards in the CIE, with this Sub - Element being revised to direct readers to the CIE for this information. The CCPC also suggests considering whether water pressures and water amounts could be introduced as LOS standards. Add Ave Maria facilities to this listing.] Policy 3.2: In order to ensure that the Level of Service Standards contained in Policy 3.1 are maintained, methodologies for determining available capacity and demand shall incorporate appropriate peak demand coefficients for each facility and for the type of development proposed. This Policy remains relevant and requires that public and private utility methodologies for determining available capacity and demand must incorporate appropriate peak demand coefficients for each facility and for the type of development proposed. This Policy should be retained essentially as written. This Policy may be revised to abbreviate "Level of Service" to "LOS ". 7 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— POTABLE WATER SUB - ELEMENT 9B Policy 3.3: The Level of Service Standards contained in Policy 3.1 are the minimum criteria for replacement, expansion or increase in capacity of potable water supply facilities. This Policy remains relevant and states that the LOS Standards contained in Policy 1.3.1 "are the minimum criteria for replacement, expansion or increase in capacity of potable water supply facilities." This Policy should be retained as written. This Policy may be revised to abbreviate "Level of Service " to "LOS ". Policy 3.4: The County will annually review historical potable water demand records and adjust the Level of Service Standards contained in Policy 3.1 if so indicated by the annual review. This Policy remains relevant and requires an annual review of potable water demand records, with adjustment of the LOS Standards, as necessary, based upon the findings of the annual review. This Policy should be revised to replace "County" with "Collier County Water and Wastewater Authority ", and add a second sentence, such as the following: "The Collier County Water -Sewer District shall review historical potable water demand records during Collier County Wastewater Master Plan updates and adjust the LOS standards, as referenced in Policy 3.1, if needed " and retained as rewritten. This Policy may be revised to abbreviate "Level of Service " to "LOS". [Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR W_ _orkshop — Suggesting that changes ensure the proper identification of the responsible entities.] OBJECTIVE 4: The County shall continue to promote conservation of potable water supplies by developing and implementing an integrated, comprehensive conservation strategy which will identify specific consumption per capita goals. Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective commits the County to the implementation of an ongoing water conservation program. This Objective is being achieved and as such, it should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". Policy Relevance: There are currently seven (7) policies within this Objective. The Objective and policies are similar to Objective 4 and its policies within the Sanitary Sewer Sub - Element (refer to the Sanitary Sewer Section of this Report). Policy 4.5: Where Community Development Districts, or other similar special districts are established to provide a tool for developers to finance infrastructure or other purposes, wholly or partially within the Collier County Water -Sewer District, and where such districts make provisions for irrigation via dual systems utilizing effluent and /or other irrigation sources, said systems shall be connected to the regional system when available, and all internal irrigation systems shall remain in private ownership and be master metered by the County. 8 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— POTABLE WATER SUB - ELEMENT 1a a This Policy requires Community Development Districts, or other special infrastructure districts, to connect to the County Utility System when they irrigate using dual systems and are located within the Collier County Water -Sewer District Service Area. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written. SHOULD THIS POLICY PROVIDE A SPECIFIC ORDINANCE CITE? Policy 4.6: The County shall promote the use of xeriscape techniques (landscaping method that emphasizes water conservation in its use of drought resistant Iandsraping plants to minimize potable water use for landscape irrigation. This Policy remains relevant and requires the County to promote xeriscaping as part of its conservation program with regard to irrigation reduction. This Policy should be retained essentially as written. OBJECTIVE 5: The County shall discourage urban sprawl and the proliferation of private sector potable water service suppliers in an effort to maximize the use of existing public facilities through the development order approval process by implementing the following policies. Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective seeks to discourage urban sprawl through maximization of existing public water supply utilities. Further, the Objective states that this action will be achieved through the local development review process. The Public Utilities Engineering Department coordinates with the Zoning & Land Development Review Department in the review of development order applications to ensure that the requirements of this Objective are met. This Objective is being achieved and his Objective should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". Consideration should be given to revisions that recognize the importance of reducing GHG emissions in furtherance of HB 697. CONSIDER INTRODUCING A NEW OBJECTIVE AND SUBSEQUENT POLICY OR POLICIES FOLLOWING FROM THE 2009 ADOPTION OF HB 697. [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the amount of change introduced with Objectives and Policies following from the adoption of HB 697may be misplaced and consideration for any such change may serve better if consolidated to address multiple Elements or Sub - Elements at another location , and should be removed from the/ as a proposed revision. ] 9 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — POTABLE WATER SUB - ELEMENT G� C.

Objective: A more specific statement than the stated Goal; describing actions that will help achieve the goal(s), typically beginning with the active verb providing the general direction, such as, "Implement ", "Promote" or "Protect ". Objectives use the term "will" and allow Policies to specifically require an activity with "shall ". Policies: Specific statements that provide directives on how to achieve the objectives and ultimately the Sub - Element's goals, typically beginning with phrases like, "The County shall promote.._ ", "The County shall continue to..." or "The District shall expand..." or similar phrases. Policies use the terms "may" or "shall" to provide specific direction. Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Sub - Element should be revised to reflect Department name changes, designee changes, renumbering due to objective and/or policy additions and/or deletions, and grammatical changes. To be renamed, including Sub - Element, Goal and throughout Objectives and Policies Goal — revisions to reflect all that stormwater management entails, and its interdependence with provisions found in other Elements and Sub - Elements; reformatting. Objective 1 — minor revision to reflect GIS use; reformatting. Objective 2 — reformatting.

I DRAINAGE SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES G7:7 Objective 6 — reformatting, with consideration of revisions to provide additional natural drainage feature protections in certain County projects, introducing new detention features and including filter marshes; as suggested by the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC). Policy 6.1 — verify that certain Federal and State standards would apply, with the proper agency protocols, whether or not references are included to them. Policy 6.2 — minor revision to update document cite; revision to coincide with the increased water quality treatment requirement found in the CCME. Policy 6.3 — minor revision to update document cite; consideration of revisions to provide additional natural drainage feature protections, as suggested by the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC). 2 DRAINAGE SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES Assessment of the Successes & Shortcomings 99 and Recommendations for the Public Facilities Element — Drainage Sub - Element A. Introduction & Background: The purpose of the Drainage Sub - Element is defined within its single Goal, which reads as follows: COLLIER COUNTY SHALL PROVIDE DRAINAGE AND FLOOD PROTECTION FOR EXISTING AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, MINIMIZE THE DEGRADATION OF QUALITY OF RECEIVING WATERS AND SURROUNDING NATURAL AREAS AND PROTECT THE FUNCTIONS OF NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE AREAS. The intent of the Drainage Sub - Element is to assure the provision of drainage and flood protection facilities and services that would enable the citizens of Collier County to meet their needs for stormwater management while also assuring public health and safety in accordance with the criteria set forth in Rule 9J -5, F.A.C., and Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. The annual update and amendment to the Capital Improvement Element, adopted January 28, 2008 included the initial step toward re- naming of this Sub - Element from the "Drainage" Sub - Element to the " Stormwater Management" Sub - Element. The new name should be used in all titles, headings and text within this Sub - Element, and in all references to this Sub - Element found throughout the Growth Management Plan. Note that, in one respect, there is overlap in the intended purpose of the Drainage and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Elements: both seek to protect aquifer recharge areas. However, the emphasis of the Drainage Sub - Element is on surface water protection, whereas the emphasis of the Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Element is on groundwater protection. For an evaluation of the Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Element, refer to that Section of this Report. In addition to the overlap of policies within the Drainage and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Elements, there is also an overlap between the intended purpose of the Drainage Sub - Element and Goal 2 of the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (refer to the CCME Section of this Report), including the Watershed Management Plans discussed under Objective 2.1 of the COME. EAR -based amendments made to those sections should be reflected in this Sub - Element, as necessary. As currently formatted, this Sub - Element consists entirely of a single Goal, and its supporting Objectives and Policies. The provision of public facilities and services for stormwater management, floodplain management and flood protection, potable water supply and, aquifer recharge area protection and watershed management are planned in correlation with future land use projections. This Goal should be expanded to fully capture the County's goals in these areas and ensure collaboration in implementing Objectives and applying Policies. These interdepartmental colaborations should also be recognized, and strengthend if necessary, in the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME) and Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) of this Growth Management Plan. This Goal should be rephrased to improve its formatting as a "goal ". PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT B. Objectives Analysis: OBJECTIVE 1: The County shall utilize the Annual Update and Inventory Report on Public Facilities (AUIR) process to update the Drainage Atlas Maps and Channel/Structure Inventory components of the adopted Water Management Master Plan to verify the existing watershed basin boundaries within Collier County. The County will also verify the design storm capacity of the drainage facilities within each basin, and determine the costs necessary to maintain the facility capacities to selected design storm standards. This information shall be used to program operational funds in the Annual County Budget and to identify necessary capital projects and basin studies in the Annual Capital Improvement Element Update and Amendment. Objective Achievement Analysis: The above Objective requires drainage projects to be included in the County's Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR), and thus the annual Capital Improvement Element and Schedule of Capital Improvements update. The County has been diligent in adhering to this requirement. Each year the County provides its latest AUIR to the Florida Department of Community Affairs along with its submittal of its latest adopted Capital Improvement Element. All mapping for the stormwater management system is now done in the GIS, and "Drainage Atlas Maps" are no longer utilized. This reference should be changed to identify the GIS and update its connection with the AUIR process. Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". [Public Comment from January 25, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting the County should re- evaluate monitoring and maintenance procedures for nutrient loads /pollution/water quality.] OBJECTIVE 2: The County shall maintain adopted drainage level of service standards for basins and sub - basins identified in the Water Management Master Plan. Maintenance of the drainage level of service (LOS) identified for each basin will be implemented through the watershed management planning process identified within Goal 2 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of this Growth Management Plan. Objective Achievement Analysis: The purpose of this Objective and its policies is to maintain and implement the County's adopted drainage LOS standards for its established drainage basins. Implementation provisions are based in the CCME. Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". 2 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT Policy Relevance: There are two (2) policies within this Objective. 99,-, '. Policy 2.1: The following levels of service for drainage are hereby adopted for the purpose of issuing development permits. Upon completion of each associated Watershed Management Plan, the level of service will be modified, if warranted. A. Future "private" developments - water quantity and quality standards as specified in Collier County Ordinance Numbers 74 -50, 90 -10 and 2001 -27, and Land Development Code Ordinance Number 2004 -41, as amended. B. Existing "private" developments and existing or future public drainage facilities - those existing Levels of Service identified (by design storm return frequency event) by the completed Water Management Master Plan as follows: LEVELS OF SERVICE ATTAINED BY BASINS BASIN LEVEL OF SERVICE MAIN GOLDEN GATE SYSTEM Main Golden Gate Canal Basin D Cypress Canal Basin D Harvey Canal Basin D 1 -75 Canal Basin D Green Canal Basin C Airport Road Canal South Basin D Corkscrew Canal Basin D Orange Tree Canal Basin D 951 Canal Central Basin C DISTRICT NO.6 SYSTEM Rock Creek Basin D C-4 Canal Basin C Lely Main Canal Basin D Lely Canal Branch Basin D Lely Manor Canal Basin D Haldeman Creek Basin D Winter Park Outlet Basin D COCOHATCHEE RIVER SYSTEM Cocohatchee River Basin D Pine Ridge Canal Basin C Palm River Canal Basin D West Branch Cocohatchee River Basin C East Branch Cocohatchee River Basin D Airport Road Canal North Basin D 951 Canal North Basin D GORDON RIVER EXTENSION Gordon River Extension Basin D Goodlette -Frank Road Ditch Basin D HENDERSON CREEK BASIN Henderson Creek Basin D 3 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT LEVELS OF SERVICE ATTAINED BY BASINS BASIN FAKA -UNION SYSTEM Faka -Union Canal Basin Miller Canal Basin Merritt Canal Basin Prairie Canal Basin SOUTHERN COASTAL BASIN US-41 Outfall Swale No. 1 Basin US -41 Outfall Swale No. 2 Basin Seminole Park Outlet Basin BARRON RIVER SYSTEM Okaloacoochee Slough Basin Barron River Canal North Basin Urban Immokalee Basin MISCELLANEOUS INTERIOR WETLAND SYSTEMS Corkscrew Slough Basin LEVEL OF SERVICE This Policy lists standards for the various identified drainage basins. D D C D C C 9 B �.. The LOSS for stormwater management systems appearing in Policy 2.1 above is one of two locations within this GMP where these standards are shown. The other location is Policy 1.5; subsection "C" in the Capital Improvement Element. This dualism may be a simple matter of unnecessary redundancy, except that the two Policies are not the same. These differences should be reconciled and a single location selected for these LOSS to appear. If it is decided to show the LOSS in both locations, then the CIE could be formatted to provide the LOS Standards, while the Sub - Element entries could elaborate on the figures. This Policy will remain relevant in its reconciled format. [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Supporting staff suggestion to locate Level of Service Standards in the CIE, with this Sub - Element being revised to direct readers to the CIE for this information.] [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Questioning whether the use of "as amended" in this context makes this Policy self amending.] OBJECTIVE 3: The County shall maintain and annually update a five -year schedule of capital improvements for water management facilities in conformance with the annual review process described within the Capital Improvement Element of the Growth Management Plan. Obiective Achievement Analysis: Like other types of capital improvements, drainage projects are included in annual updates to the Five - Year Schedule of Capital Improvements, and thus the County's Annual Budget for each fiscal year. This Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". Policy Relevance: 4 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT There are four policies within this Objective. 9 B Policy 3.4: County improvements to, and maintenance of, existing drainage facilities shall be a priority over new construction projects in the urban and estates designated areas (exclusive of Southern Golden Gate Estates). This Policy requires that the County give major emphasis to drainage improvements in the Estates and Urban Areas, as opposed to other portions of the County. This emphasis toward these improvements is considered in the County's Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR). This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written. [Planning, Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the language in this Policy is ambiguous and needs revision to provide clarity and avoid an interpretation that the improvement and maintenance of existing facilities Countywide are a priority over new projects in the Estates — as this is not the case. SGGE is no longer open to development, so no facilities have priority there. ] OBJECTIVE 4: The County shall develop and maintain policies and programs to correct existing deficiencies and to provide for future facility needs in accordance with the annual work program referenced in the adopted Water Management Master Plan. Objective Achievement Analvsis: This Objective requires the County maintain its drainage work program to correct deficiencies and provide for future need. Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective" such as, Develop and maintain policies and programs to correct existing deficiencies and to provide for future facility needs in accordance with the annual work program referenced in the adopted Water Management Master Plan. [Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting —Suggesting that watershed management and water resource management should take a more holistic approach.] [Environmental Advisory Council (EACH Comment from August 11, 2010 EAR Workshop — Emphasizing the importance ofpreparing and following an annual workprogram.] Policy Relevance: There are three (3) policies within this Objective. Policy 4.1: Water management projects shall be undertaken in accordance with the schedule provided in the Capital Improvement Element of this Plan. These projects shall be undertaken in coordination with the Big Cypress Basin /South Florida Water Management District 5 Year Plan. This Policy requires water management projects to be undertaken in accordance with the procedures outlined within the Capital Improvements Element, and that such projects be coordinated with the Big 5 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT Cypress Basin Board and the South Florida Water Management District. (It is worth noting here that, in Collier County the Big Cypress Basin Board, an arm of the South Florida Water Management District, maintains the major drainageways while Collier County maintains the tributary systems.) This Policy remains relevant and should be retained if re- written. Post EAC Workshop comment. The Big Cypress Basin is not going to publish the 5-year plan in this format (County has been doing this since the early 1980s). Beginning this year the new document will be called Big Cypress Basin Strategic Plan 2010-2015. Properly revise reference to the, "Strategic Plan" without the date reference. Policy 4.1 County capital stormwater management projects shall be undertaken in - accordance with the schedule provided in the Capital Improvement Element of this Plan. These projects shall be undertaken in coordination with the Big Cypress Basin Strategic Plan. [Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting a number of these `other regulatory agencies' be identified, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE), as those among whom water resource management is coordinated — including surface water, stormwater, and water supplies for municipal services.] OBJECTIVE 5: The County shall continue to regulate land use and development in a manner that protects the functions of natural drainage features and natural groundwater aquifer recharge areas. Implementation of this Objective will be consistent with the Watershed Management Planning process identified within Goal 2 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Growth Management Plan, and with relevant provisions contained within the adopted Land Development Code (Ordinance Number 2004 -41, as amended). Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective provides for the protection of natural drainage features and natural groundwater aquifer recharge areas. This Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". [Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Questioning whether the use of "as amended" in this context makes this Objective self amending.] OBJECTIVE 6: The County shall protect the functions of natural drainage features through the application of standards that address the quality and quantity of discharge from stormwater management systems. Implementation of this Objective will be consistent with the watershed management planning process identified within Goal 2 and Objective 2.1 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Growth Management Plan. This objective is made measurable through the following policies: Objective Achievement Analysis: 6 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT This Objective seeks to protect natural drainage features through the imposition of stormwater discharge quantity and quality standards. The Objective relies on its subject policies for the definition of standards. As per Objectives 2 and 5, this Objective should be revised to reference (in general) the objectives and policies contained in Goal 2 of the CCME, and the Watershed Management Plans described under Objective 2.1 of the CCME, and to acknowledge that these portions of the CCME provide guidance for protecting the functions of the County's natural drainage features. Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". [Public Comment from January 25, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting that watershed management planning needs to be about more than just water —planning should take a more holistic approach.] [Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting —Suggesting that watershed management and water resource management should take a more holistic approach.] [Environmental Advisory Council (EAQ Comment om August 11, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that this Objective be expanded to address additional protections of natural drainage features in roadway construction and other transportation projects, for introducing or increasing both wet and dry detention features, and for including filter, or trickle, marshes to the system.] Policy Relevance: There are three (3) policies within this Objective. Policy 6.1: Projects shall be designed and operated so that off -site discharges will meet State water quality standards, as set forth in Chapter 62- 302.300, F.A.C., as it existed at the date of project approval. This Policy identifies a specific resource to address stormwater discharges to natural drainage features and requires the County to meet State water quality standards. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written. [Environmental Advisory Council (EAQ Comment from August 11, 2010 EAR Workshop — Questioning whether any applicable Federal water quality standards may not be incorporated into State standards and would still apply, and if so, include proper reference to them.] Policy 6.2: Collier County's retention and detention requirements shall be the same as those provided in the South Florida Water Management District's Basis of Review, as it existed at the time of project approval. This Policy identifies stormwater retention/detention requirements of the appropriate Water Management District, with this document reference appearing to be out of date. This Policy also mirrors other provisions found in another Public Facilities Element Sub - Element. The Pollution Control Department implements this Policy. This Policy remains relevant and should be revised to replace "Basis for Review, dated January 2004" with "Environmental Resource Permit Information Manual, Volume IV, 2009 ". PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT FRim' It is also noted that the County does not adhere to the same retention and detention requirements as those found in the resource identified. The interim watershed management regulations exceed the SFWMD retention and detention requirements by requiring 150% of SFWMD criteria for all developments. The SFWMD typically only requires that for projects discharging into designated Outstanding Florida Water (OFW) sources. This Policy remains relevant and should accordingly be further revised to reflect the increase in water quality treatment. This Policy conflicts with CCME Objective 2.1. a. which requires 150% of the SFWMD water quality treatment requirement. This is part of the Interim Watershed Standards. [Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop - Suggesting that both the CCME and this Policy properly reflect the 150% figure.) Policy 6.3: Allowable off -site discharge rates shall be computed using a storm event of 3 day duration and 25 year return frequency. The allowable off -site discharge rates are as follows: a. Airport Road North Sub -Basin 0.04 cfs /acre (North of Vanderbilt Beach Road) b. Airport Road South Sub -basin 0.06 cfs /acre (South of Vanderbilt Beach Road) c. Cocohatchee Canal Basin 0.04 cfs /acre d. Lely Canal Basin 0.06 cfs /acre e. Harvey Basin 0.055 cfs /acre f. Wiggins Pass Basin 0.13 cfs /acre g. All other areas 0.15 cfs /acre The County may exempt projects from these allowable off -site discharge rates if any of the following applies: 1. The project is exempt from allowable off -site discharge limitations pursuant to Section 40E- 400.315, FAC. 2. The project is part of an existing SFWMD permit, which allows discharge rates different than those listed above. 3. It can be documented that the project currently discharges off -site at a rate higher than those listed above. The documentation required for this purpose shall be prepared by a registered professional engineer, and will consist of an engineering study which utilizes the applicable criteria in the " SFWMD Basis of Review for Environmental Resource Permit Applications ". The study shall be subject to review and approval by the County and SFWMD staff. The study shall include the following site - specific information: a. Topography b. Soil types and soil storage volume c. Vegetation types 8 P UBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT d. Antecedent conditions e. Design rainfall hydrograph f. Depression storage capacity g. Receiving water hydrograph, and h. Other relevant hydrologic and hydraulic data. Using the above information, a hydrologic and. hydraulic model shall be developed which demonstrates the higher off-site discharge rate. This Policy commits the County to using the 3 -day, 25 -year storm event as a discharge rate standard. The Policy also contains a list of calculated discharge rates for identified basins and sub - basins. This Policy references discharge requirements of the appropriate Water Management District, with this document reference appearing to be out of date. This Policy also mirrors other provisions found in another Public Facilities Element Sub - Element. The Pollution Control Department implements this Policy. This Policy remains relevant and should be revised to replace "Basis for Review for Environmental Resource Permit Applications" with "Environmental Resource Permit Information Manual, Volume IV, 2009 ". [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from August Il 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the County consider setting new limitations, or maximums for these exempt projects to provide additional protections of natural drainage features.] CONSIDER INTRODUCING A NEW OBJECTIVE AND SUBSEQUENT POLICY OR POLICIES FOLLOWING FROM THE 2009 ADOPTION OF HB 697. [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27 2010 EAR Workshop Suggesting that the amount of change introduced with Objectives and Policies following from the adoption of HB 697 may be misplaced and consideration for any such change may serve better if consolidated to address multiple Elements or Sub - Elements at another location , and should be removed from the/ as a proposed revision.] 9 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES 98 2011 EVALUATION & APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR) Public Facilities Element — Solid Waste Sub- Element Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Sub - Element will be revised to reflect the proper formatting for all Goals, Objectives and Policies, as defined below: Goal: General statement defining what the plan will ultimately achieve, typically beginning with "TO" followed by a transitive verb, such as, TO PROTECT or TO ENSURE. Objective: A more specific statement than the stated Goal; describing actions that will help achieve the goal(s), typically beginning with the active verb providing the general direction, such as, "Implement ", "Promote" or "Protect ". Objectives use the term "will" and allow Policies to specifically require an activity with "shall ". Policies: Specific statements that provide directives on how to achieve the objectives and ultimately the Sub - Element's goals, typically beginning with phrases like, "The County shall promote... ", "The County shall continue to..." or "The District shall expand..." or similar phrases. Policies use the terms "may" or "shall" to provide specific direction. Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Sub - Element should be revised to reflect Department name changes, designee changes, renumbering due to objective and/or policy additions and/or deletions, and grammatical changes.

Introduction & Background: The purpose of the Solid Waste Sub - Element is defined within its single Goal, which reads as follows: PROVIDE AN EFFICIENT AND ECONOMICAL BALANCE OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SERVICES THAT WILL ENABLE THE PEOPLE OF COLLIER COUNTY TO MEET THE ESTABLISHED REQUIREMENTS FOR SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN A MANNER TO ASSURE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND TO PROTECT THE AIR, WATER AND LAND RESOURCES OF COLLIER COUNTY. The intent of the Solid Waste Sub - Element is to assure the provision of efficient and economical services that would enable the citizens of Collier County to meet their needs for solid waste collection and disposal while also assuring public health and safety in accordance with the criteria set forth in Rule 9J -5, F.A.C., and Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. The provision of public facilities and services for solid waste management is planned in correlation with future land use projections. The annual update and amendment to the Capital Improvement Element, adopted January 28, 2008 included the initial step toward re- naming of this Sub - Element from the "Solid Waste" Sub - Element to the "Solid Waste Disposal' Sub - Element. The new name should be used in all titles, headings and text within this Sub - Element, and in all references to this Sub - Element found throughout the Growth Management Plan. The original intent of the Solid Waste Sub - Element was to assure the provision of efficient and economical services that would enable the citizens of Collier County to meet their needs for solid waste management while also assuring public health and safety in accordance with the criteria set forth in Rule 9J -5, EA. C., and Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. The Goal should be revised to replace "air, water and land" with "environmental resources" and to add another statement, such as the following: "In all aspects of solid waste management, adhere to the following Enduring Guiding Principles approved by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners at the Integrated Solid Waste Management Strategy Workshop on December S, 2006: Environmental and Growth Management Compliance — Environmental Compliance means managing the impacts to the air, soil, water, and wildlife as well as "quality of 1 fe" impacts to the community such as aesthetics, odor, noise, and traffic and Growth Management Compliance means satisfying the growth management requirements reported in the Annual Update and Inventory Report for both lined and permitted disposal capacity; Airspace Preservation - Airspace Preservation means managing solid waste upstream from disposal as a means to extend the remaining airspace (disposal) capacity at the Collier County Landfdl; 1 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SOLID WASTE SUB - ELEMENT Im Operational Excellence - Operational Excellence means optimizing the operations of our assets such as the Collier County Landfill and our Recycling Centers as well as the programs administered by the Public Utilities Division; and Best Value Service - Best Value Service means that the services offered in the County reflect local and regional conditions and that the value of service is appropriately balanced with the cost of service. A component of Best Value Service is that there is a direct correlation between those that receive the benefits and those that pay for the services. " This Goal should also be rephrased to improve its formatting as a "goal ". B. Objectives Achievement Analysis: OBJECTIVE 1: (COLLECTION) Collier County shall continue to maintain a safe, dependable and efficient solid waste collection system. Present facilities meeting — the current Level of Service include two (2) franchise collection areas and three Recycling Centers, as follows: a. Unincorporated County service area; b. Immokalee service area; c. Three (3) Recycling Centers; 1. Naples Recycling Center 2. Marco Recycling Center 3. Carnestown Recycling Center Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be revised to add the Immokalee Recycling Center as number four and replace "three Recycling Centers" with `four Recycling Centers", and rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". Policy Relevance: There are four (4) policies within this Objective: Policy 1.1: The County shall continue to maintain and regulate commercial, multi - family and tax -bill based residential collection costs to ensure efficient and dependable service affordable to all users. This Policy the County to continue to maintain and regulate collection costs to ensure efficient and dependable service that is affordable to all users. This Policy remains relevant and should be revised to add an entry, such as the following: "The primary components of a solid waste collection assessment are: 1. Franchisee Contract 2. Tipping Fees 3. Administrative and Capital Program Costs " 2 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SOLID WASTE SUB- ELEMENT Policy 1.2: The County shall retain its mandatory collection Ordinance Number 2005 -54, as amended, and the mandatory commercial recycling Ordinance Number 2004 -50, as amended. This Policy calls for the maintenance of the County's mandatory collection ordinance. This policy remains relevant and should be retained as written. [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27. 2010 EAR Workshop — Questioning whether the use of "as amended" in this context makes this Policy self amending.] Policy 1.4: The County shall ensure public awareness and participation in solid waste collection issues by addressing such issues in duly noticed public meetings. This Policy requires that all solid waste management issues be addressed at advertised public meetings. This Policy should be revised to read, such as, "The County shall ensure public awareness and participation in solid waste recycling, reuse, waste reduction, household hazardous waste collection and disposal by addressing such issues in duly noticed public meetings and by advertising recycling, reuse, collection, and disposal strategies and tips by such media as local newspapers, flyers, magnets and TV and radio commercials. " [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the amount of specificity introduced with "and tips by such media as local newspapers, flyers, magnets and TV and radio commercials" is unnecessary in a comprehensive plan document and should be removed from the proposed revision.] OBJECTIVE 2: (DISPOSAL) Collier County shall continue to utilize safe and efficient methods for environmentally sound disposal of solid waste in accordance with local, State and Federal regulations and shall continue to investigate improved methods and implement practices that meet this objective. Objective Achievement Analysis: A review of the policies associated with this Objective reveals that it is primarily concerned with the environmental impact of County landfills. However, it also contains a policy that references the County's Solid Waste Level of Service (LOS). The Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". Policy Relevance: There are eight (8) policies within this Objective: 3 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SOLID WASTE SUB - ELEMENT Policy 2.1: The County shall continue to monitor groundwater as required by the regulatory permit conditions for the operation of the landfill and in compliance with State and Federal rules and regulations. This Policy requires that groundwater wells be monitored. This policy remains relevant and should be revised to add entries, such as the following, at the end: "and pursuant to the Section 2.7 of Landfill Operations Agreement with Waste Management Ina of Florida. Dedicated ground water monitoring wells are located within the County's landfills and are monitored for potential groundwater contamination in accordance with the State of Florida Permit Conditions. " [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the staff-proposed change is not necessary.] Policy 2.2: The County shall continue to maintain leachate and gas management systems at County landfills in order to comply with permit conditions. This Policy calls for leachate and gas management systems to be installed at County landfills, as needed. Both County landfills currently have such systems in operation. This Policy remains relevant and should be revised to add a statement, such as the following, at the end. "Pursuant to the Landfill Operation Agreement with Waste Management, Ina of Florida (WMIF), Section 2.9 Gas Management System, WMIF shall maintain, revise and upgrade the system as needed to comply with permit conditions and Standard Levels of Service for the industry. " [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the staff-proposed change is not necessary.] Policy 2.4: By fiscal year 2010, the County shall acquire and /or retain the land inventory required for future solid waste operations, based upon selection of, including but not limited to, one or more of the following options in order of priority: 1. Develop the means to partially or completely divert solid waste from the landfill (additional recycling or alternative forms of disposal). 2. Increase the maximum permissible elevation of the Naples Landfill so as to gain additional airspace capacity. 3. Explore emerging conversion technologies that would allow for continued solid waste disposal operations within Collier County. 4. Secure and utilize additional capacity at a landfill or landfills. This Policy requires the County to maintain sufficient land inventory for future landfills. The County's adopted LOS for landfill capacity (as referenced in the Capital Improvement Element) is "10 years of permittable capacity at average disposal rate /previous five (5) years." This Policy should be revised to replace "By fiscal year 2010, the County shall acquire and/or retain the " with a statement, such as, 4 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SOLID WASTE SUB- ELEMENT "The County all r " �� t3' pu sue the acquisition of 'and replace Naples Landfill with Collier County Landfill to a maximum elevation of 200 feet above grade ". [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27 2010 EAR Workshop - Suggesting that the amount of specificity introduced with "a maximum elevation of 200 feet above grade " is unnecessary and should be replaced in the proposed revision with "a maximum permissible elevation ".] Policy 2.5: The Level of Service for Solid Waste Sub - Element shall be: a. Tons of solid waste per capita per year, used to determine landfill disposal capacity, is based on the average of the last three complete fiscal years actual lined cell tonnage activity. b. Two (2) years of constructed lined landfill cell capacity at the disposal rate calculated per 2.5.a. c. Ten (10) years of permittable landfill capacity at the disposal rate calculated per 2.5.a. The LOSS for solid waste disposal appearing in Policy 2.5 above is one of two locations within this GMP where these standards are shown. The other location is Policy 1.5; subsection "F" in the Capital Improvement Element. This dualism may be a simple matter of unnecessary redundancy, except that the two Policies are not the same. These differences should be reconciled and a single location selected for these LOSS to appear. If it is decided to show the LOSS in both locations, then the CIE could be formatted to provide the LOS Standards, while the Sub - Element entries could elaborate on the figures. This Policy will remain relevant in its reconciled format. [Planning- Commission (CCPC) Comment fi-om August 27 2010 EAR Workshop - Supporting staff suggestion to locate Level of Service Standards in the CIE, with this Sub - Element being revised to direct readers to the CIE for this information.] Policy 2.8: The Collier County Solid Waste Department shall continue to operate and maintain a hazardous waste collection facility. The facility shall operate five (5) days per week and will accept household hazardous wastes. Additionally, the Department shall continue to hold its hazardous waste collection day at least twice per year targeting residential households but also allowing small businesses to participate. This Policy commits the County to holding at least one hazardous waste collection day (amnesty day) per year. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written, with consideration given to the suggestion that there is no need for this level of specif city. New Policies, such as retaining six (6) of the twenty -tvvo (22) previously sugkested should be added under Obiective 2: Policy 2.14: The County shall maintain an effective emergency storm debris cleanup plan, and identify and establish temporary debris storage and reduction sites. Policy 2.18: S PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT - SOLID WASTE SUB - ELEMENT a r, III ma The County shall pursue State and Federal grants for, and participate in, feasibility projects for the investigation and development of improved techniques for waste collection, recycling, transfer and solid waste management consistent with the Enduring Guiding Principles. Policy 2.24: The County shall evaluate options to beneficially recycle plastic agricultural film. Policy 2.25: The County shall assess the feasibility of expanding the Immokalee Transfer Station, or developing a new facility to serve the Immokalee area, to become a full service recycling and reuse center equipped with such options as household hazardous waste processing, paint reuse, vegetative and yard waste drop -off, processing and composting, white goods drop-off, a -waste drop -off, furniture and construction & demolition debris (C &D), resale store, etc. Policy 2.28: The County will work with local institutions, schools, government buildings, or churches, to initiate programs for solid waste reduction, reuse, and recycling for their communities. Policy 2.30: The County will encourage the construction of Green Buildings (or Sustainable Buildings). Relative to solid waste management, this includes: • Recycled Content. Products with identifiable recycled content, including postindustrial content with a preference for post consumer content • Salvaged, refurbished, or remanufactured: Includes saving a material from disposal and renovating, repairing, restoring, or generally improving the appearance, performance, quality, functionality, or value of a product. • Reusable or recyclable: Select materials that can be easily dismantled and reused or recycled at the end of their useful life. • Recycled or recyclable product packaging: Products enclosed in recycled content or recyclable packaging. • Durable: Materials that are longer lasting or are comparable to conventional products with long life expectancies. [Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that only Policies 2.14, 2.18, 2.24, 2.25, 2.28 and 2.30 are irredundant with existing Policies, and that the others should be removed from the proposed revision.] OBJECTIVE 3: (RECYCLE AND RECOVERY) The Collier County Solid Waste Department shall continue to maintain and update the Integrated Solid Waste Management Strategic Plan as directed by the Board of County Commissioners. Objective Achievement Analysis: The County's Solid Waste Management Department maintains the County's solid waste disposal activities in accordance with an Integrated Solid Waste Management Strategic Plan that includes Short, Intermediate, and Long Term Measures. The County recommends that this Objective be modified to reflect the "Integrated Solid Waste Management Strategic Plan," instead of the "Solid Waste Master 6 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SOLID WASTE SUB - ELEMENT Plan." Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". Policy Relevance: There are three (3) policies within this Objective. Policy 3.2: The County shall continue investigation and implementation of cost - saving measures for County disposal operations. The County shall evaluate other measures, including landfill mining, as new technologies and practices emerge. (Currently, a methane gas collection program is in operation.) This Policy requires the County to "continue investigation of cost - saving methods for landfills." The policy remains relevant and should be revised to delete "(Currently, a methane gas collection program is in operation.) " Two Policies, such as the following should be added under Objective 3: Policy 3.4: The County will encourage xeriscape landscaping (or Sustainable Landscaping) to reduce the generation of yard waste and reduce water consumption. In practice, xeriscaping means simply landscaping with slow growing, drought tolerant plants to conserve water and reduce yard waste. COULD BE MOVED TO UNDER 3.1, ABOVE. Policy 3.5: The County shall develop and implement innovative programs to reduce, re -use and recycle solid waste to meet the 2020 FDEP 75% Recycling Rate pursuant to FS Chapter 403.7032. This new policy follows the recent adoption of the referenced Statute. CONSIDER INTRODUCING A NEW OBJECTIVE AND SUBSEQUENT POLICY OR POLICIES FOLLOWING FROM THE 2009 ADOPTION OF HB 697.

This Forty -Four percent reduction in per capita disposal rate accomplished by the residential and commercial recycling programs stands as one of the most significant County -wide efforts to promote sustainability and directly relates to the major issue if Climate Change. 8 Public Facilities Element — Solid Waste Sub - Element Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption Hearing Glbm Collier County Government Public Utilities Division 2010 Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) Table 1: Collier County Landfill Disposal Capacity Level of Service Standard: Ten Years of Permitted Landfill Capacity at Previous Three Years Average Tons Per Capita Disposal Rate July 15, 2010 1 A r 2010 AUIR - Solid Waste Page SW -2 Tons Per Next Ten Years Ten Year Fiscal Peak Capita Annual Tons Total Landfill Landfill Permitted Landfill Year Population Disposal Disposed Capacity Capacity Capacity Surplus Rate Balance (tons) Requirement or Deficiency (tons) (tons) 2000 309,511 1.23 381,499 1 4,537,914 2,851,746 1,686,168 2001 325,159 1.32 430,511 4,107,403 2,649,128 1,458,275 2002 341,954 1.07 366,547 3,740,856 2,514,700 1,226,156 2003 359,191 0.80 288,409 5,820,359 2,462,714 3,357,645 2004 374,384 0.78 291,903 9,130,976 2,411,619 6,719,357 2005 386,668 0.71 274,777 9,695,124 2,382,460 7,312,664 2006 396,310 0.70 278,384 9,920,278 2,354,944 7,565,333 2007 400,027 0.64 254,889 9,594,647 2,356,287 7,238,360 2008 399,532 0.61 241,816 9,282,412 2,376,181 6,906,231 2009 399,979 0.54 215,338 8,831,381 2,428,149 6,403,233 2010 404,032 0.52 209,172 8,622,209 2,491,663 6,130,547 2011 411,524 0.55 227,893 8,394,316 2,541,610 5,852,706 2012 419,155 0.55 232,119 8,162,197 2,592,584 5,569,613 2013 426,928 0.55 236,423 7,925,774 2,644 604 5,281,170 2014 434,845 0.55 240,808 7,684,966 2,697,693 4,987,273 2015 443,531 0.55 245,618 7,439,349 2,751,116 4,688,232 2016 453,013 0.55 250,869 7,188,480 2,804,115 4,384,365 2017 462,698 0.55 256,232 6,932,248 2,856,653 4,075,595 2018 472,590 0.55 261,710 6,670,538 2,908,696 3,761,842 2019 482,694 0.55 267,305 6,403,233 2,960,207 3,443,026 2020 492,410 0.55 272,686 6,130,547 3,011,482 3,119,064 2021 501,718 0.55 277,841 5,852,706 3,062,831 2,789,875 2022 511,202 0.55 283,093 5,569,613 3,114,240 2,455,373 2023 520,866 0.55 288,444 5,281,170 3,165,696 2,115,473 2024 530,711 0.55 293,896 4,987,273 3,217,185 1,770,088 2025 540,002 0.55 299,041 4,688,232 3,269,103 1,419,129 2026 548,716 0.55 303,867 4,384,365 3,321,859 1,062,506 2027 557,571 0.55 308,770 4,075,595 3,375,467 -700,128 2028 68 0.55 313,753 3,761,842 3,429,940 331,902 2029 12 0.55 318,816 3,443,026 3,485,292 42,266 2030 02 0.55 323,961 3,119,064 N/A N/A 2031 43 L604,036 0.55 329,189 2,789,875 N/A N/A 2032 0.55 334,502 2 455,373 N/A N/A 2033 84 0.55 339,900 2,115,473 N/A N/A 2034 623,689 0.55 345,385 11770,088 N/A N/A 2035 633,754 0.55 350,959 1,419,129 N/A N/A 2036 643,982 0.55 356,623 1,062,506 N/A N/A 2037 654,374 0.55 362,378 700,128 N/A N/A 2038 664,934 0.55 368,226 331,902 N/A N/A 2039 675,665 0.55 1 374,168 42,266 N/A N/A 2010 AUIR - Solid Waste Page SW -2 9Bs SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CIIANGES 2011 EVALUATION & APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR) Public Facilities Element — Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Element Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Sub - Element will be revised to reflect the proper formatting for all Goals, Objectives and Policies, as defined below: Goal: General statement defining what the plan will ultimately achieve, typically beginning with "TO" followed by a transitive verb, such as, TO PROTECT or TO ENSURE. Objective: A more specific statement than the stated Goal; describing actions that will help achieve the goal(s), typically beginning with the active verb providing the general direction, such as, "Implement ", "Promote" or "Protect ". Objectives use the term "will" and allow Policies to specifically require an activity with "shall ". Policies: Specific statements that provide directives on how to achieve the objectives and ultimately the Sub - Element's goals, typically beginning with phrases like, "The County shall promote... ", "The County shall continue to..." or "The District shall expand..." or similar phrases. Policies use the terms "may" or "shall" to provide specific direction.

Introduction & Background: The purpose of the Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Element is defined within its single Goal, which reads as follows: THE COUNTY SHALL IDENTIFY AND PROTECT NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE AREAS FROM ACTIVITIES THAT COULD DEGRADE AND /OR CONTAMINATE THE QUALITY OF GROUNDWATER. The intent of the Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Element is to assure the provision of efficient and economical services that would enable the citizens of Collier County to meet their needs for the protection of groundwater recharge areas while also assuring public health and safety in accordance with the criteria set forth in Rule 9J -5, F.A.C., and Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. The annual update and amendment to the Capital Improvement Element, adopted January 28, 2008 included the initial step toward re- naming of the "Drainage" Sub - Element to the " Stormwater Management" Sub - Element. The new name should be used in all references to that Sub - Element found in this Sub- Element and throughout the Growth Management Plan. Note that, in one respect, there is overlap in the intended purpose of the Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge and Drainage Sub - Elements: both seek to protect aquifer recharge areas. However, the emphasis of the Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Element is on groundwater protection, whereas the emphasis of the Drainage Sub - Element is on surface water protection. For an evaluation of the Drainage Sub - Element, refer to the Drainage Section of this Report. In addition to the overlap of policies within the Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge and Drainage Sub - Elements, there is also an overlap between the intended purpose of the Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Element and Goal 2 of the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (refer to the CCME Section of this Report), including the Watershed Management Plans discussed under Objective 2.1 of the CCME. EAR -based amendments made to those sections should be reflected in this Sub - Element, as necessary. As currently formatted, this Sub - Element consists entirely of a single Goal, and its supporting Objectives and Policies. The provision of public facilities and services for aquifer recharge area protection and watershed management, floodplain management and flood protection, potable water supply, and stormwater management are planned in correlation with future land use projections. This Goal should be expanded to fully capture the County's goals in these areas and ensure colaboration in implementing Objectives and applying Policies. These interdepartmental colaborations should also be recognized, and strengthend if necessary, in the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME) and Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) of this Growth Management Plan. This Goal should be rephrased to improve its formatting as a "goal ". I PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE SUB - ELEMENT , 9 B [Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Questioning the status of and adherence to the Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan and the Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan; another, suggesting that - watershed management and water resource management should take a more holistic approach.] B. Objectives Analysis: General Analysis: The Sub - Element Objectives and Policies are implemented primarily by the Collier County Pollution Control & Prevention Department. The Objectives and Policies speak generically about groundwater protection and the identification andprotection of aquifer recharge areas. However, virtually all of the Department's work is related to County potable water wellfields ( >100,000 GPD design) in accordance with Land Development Code Section 3.06 00 — Groundwater Protection. OBJECTIVE 1 (MAPPING AND DELINEATION OF RECHARGE AREAS): The County shall continue to review every two years, and revise as necessary, existing map delineations of County potable water wellfields that are most sensitive to contamination from nearby land development and other surface activities. The biennial review and any subsequent map revisions will be based on geologic, hydrogeologic, hydrologic, and updated anthropogenic contaminant data aggregated since the previous revision. Objective Achievement Anal Currently, Collier County's Pollution Control and Prevention Department uses an advanced 3- dimensional computer model to calculate Wellfield Risk Management Zones around significantly sized existing and planned potable water wellfields ( >100,000 GPD design). These Wellfield Risk Management Zones, in the form of maps, are adopted into the County's Land Development Code 3.06. 00 Groundwater Protection and placed on the County's Zoning Maps for County planners to use when regulating land development with the intent ofprotecting potable water wellfields from pollution sources. This Objective should be revised to replace "review every two years" with "review every three years" and "The biennial review " with "The three year review ". The proposed amendments for Objective I provides adequate time (3 years) for the development of the proposed Wellfield Risk Management Zones, adoption of the proposed Wellfield Risk Management Zones into Collier County's Growth Management Plan's Future Land Use Element (Maps), and adoption of the proposed Wellfield Risk Management Zones into Collier County's Land Development Code, Section 3.06 "Ground Water Protection. " The two years that are presently allotted have been found to be insufficient to complete this objective. The recommended language amendment will provide sufficient time (3 years) to complete this objective. Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as rewritten. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". 2 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE SUB - ELEMENT 9B [Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Questioning the status of and responsibility for monitoring and maintaining our water resources.] Policy Relevance: There are five (5) policies within this Objective. Policy 1.1: The County shall revise and update its 3- dimensional computer models of ground water flow around public water supply wellfields, as additional data (e.g., withdrawal rates, numbers and locations of wells within wellfields, and hydrogeologic information) become available. This Policy requires that groundwater flow around wellfield modeling be revised, as pertinent data is made available. The Pollution Control Department implements this Policy. There is one recommended change. The term "ground water" should be replaced by "groundwater" in this Policy, and throughout the remainder of this Sub - Element and entire GMP wherever informally used [not in title of formal document]. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as revised. Policy 1.2: The County shall identify those County potable water wellfields, or portions of wellfields, which are susceptible to contamination, caused by adjacent or nearby land uses, drainage patterns, geomorphic conditions, soil properties, and /or hydrogeologic factors, including the presence or absence of confining units. This information shall be revised and updated as necessary. This Policy requires that the identification of wellfields susceptible to contamination be revised, as pertinent updates are made available. The Pollution Control Department implements this Policy. There are no recommended changes. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written. [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from August 11, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that potable water wellfield identification include locations in the greater Immokalee area.] Policy 1.3: The County shall maintain and update data on existing land uses and land use activities that possess the greatest potential for ground water contamination. This Policy requires the County to monitor land uses and land use activities to gauge their potential to contaminate groundwater. The Pollution Control Department implements this Policy. There are no recommended changes. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written: [Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Questioning the status of and responsibility for monitoring and maintaining our water resources.] Policy 1.5: This Sub - Element shall incorporate by reference annual recharge amounts for the Surficial and Lower Tamiami aquifers and deeper aquifers such as the Sandstone and Hawthorne Aquifers, as described in the South Florida Water Management District's official publications dated April, 2000 (and scheduled to be published in 2006). 3 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE SUB - ELEMENT kI:l This Policy requires the County to reference a South Florida Water Management District publication to keep current its computer model. A general reference to a 2006 publication however, potentially limits the County's ability to keep this data current in future years as subsequent editions are published. The Pollution Control Department implements this Policy. The "official publications" incorporated by reference are the District's Lower West Coast Water Supply Plans. A version was first published in 2000 in three parts: a Planning Document, a Support Document and the Appendices Document. There was an update in the 2005 -2006 timeframe — also published in multiple parts. There is an update ongoing that may be completed in the 2010 -2011 timeframe. This Policy remains otherwise relevant and should be retained and revised to identify the specific SFWMD publication or publications being incorporated by reference into this Sub - Element, such as, This Sub - Element shall incorporate by reference annual recharge amounts for the Surficial and Lower Tamiami aquifers and deeper aquifers such as the Sandstone and Hawthorne Aquifers, as described in the South Florida Water Management District's Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan, as amended. [Environmental Advisory Council (EAQ Comment from August 11, 2010 EAR Workshop — Questioning whether the County department involved with preparing and utilizing this publication should be identified by this Policy.] [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop —Questioning whether the use of "as amended" in this context would make this Policy self amending.] OBJECTIVE 2 (PROTECTION OF GROUNDWATER QUALITY): Ground water quality shall meet all applicable Federal and State water quality standards. Obiective Achievement Analysis: This Objective seeks to protect natural groundwater aquifer recharge features through the imposition of quantity and quality standards. Collier County has implemented numerous proactive programs designed to protect Collier County's groundwater quality from man -made pollution sources and hence remain compliant with this Objective. In addition, Collier County has also developed programs designed to respond to pollution releases into the environment and to monitor their satisfactory cleanup. Finally, the Collier County Pollution Control & Prevention Department has developed strong working relationships with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Collier County Environmental Health and Engineering Department, South Florida Water Management District, Big Cypress Basin Board and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services that enhance the County's ability to effectively coordinate efforts to meet this Objective. Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective" such as, Protect natural aquifer recharge areas to ensure the highest water quality practical toward meeting applicable Federal and State water quality standards for ground water, or, Protect groundwater 4 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE SUB - ELEMENT k � from pollutant discharges that may cause eaceedance of applicable Federal and State water quality standards; followed by a "policy ", such as: Policy 2.0.1: The County shall protect groundwater from pollutant discharges that might cause ezceedance of applicable Federal and State water quality standards. [Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting a number of these `other regulatory agencies' be identified, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE), as those among whom water resource management is coordinated — including surface water,, stormwater, and water supplies for municipal services.] Policy Relevance: There are four (4) policies within this Objective. Policy 2.2: Non - agricultural developments requiring an Environmental Resources Permit from the South Florida Water Management District ( SFWMD) shall preserve groundwater recharge characteristics as required by the SFWMD and as set forth in the SFWMD's Basis for Review, dated January 2004 and as regularly updated. Ground water recharge shall also be protected through the application of the retention /detention requirements and allowable off -site discharge rates for non - agricultural developments specified in Policies 6.2 and 6.3 in the Drainage Sub - Element. This Policy identifies groundwater protection requirements of the appropriate Water Management District, with this document reference appearing to be out of date. This Policy also refers to other provisions found in another Public Facilities Element Sub - Element. The Pollution Control Department implements this Policy. This Policy should be revised to replace "Basis for Review, dated January 2004 " with "Environmental Resource Permit Information Manual, Volume IT , 2009 ". OBJECTIVE 3 (GROUNDWATER QUALITY MONITORING): The County shall continue to collect and evaluate ground water quality data, identifying ambient water quality values and trends, comparing analyzed concentrations to Florida Ground Water Guidance Concentrations, and providing information to water resources planning and management entities, and to the general public. Objective Achievement Analysis: The above Objective requires Collier County to collect and analyze groundwater quality data for comparison to State Standards, and to be able to provide information on analysis results to all interested parties. Presently Collier County's Pollution Control and Prevention Department samples a trend network of groundwater monitoring wells semi- annually, and reports on the data annually. In addition, a Golden Gate Groundwater Baseline Monitoring Report had been completed in 2004, which assessed the groundwater quality data obtained from 84 residential potable water wells. Residents were provided groundwater laboratory results for the well they owned. A follow -up Golden Gate 5 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE SUB - ELEMENT 99 Estates study is presently underway, which will compare this most recent groundwater quality data with the historical 2004 reported data to determine water quality trends. Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". [Public Comment from March I S 2010 EAR Public Meeting —Suggesting that watershed management and water resource management should take a more holistic approach.] Policy Relevance: There are five (5) policies within this Objective. Policy 3.3: The County will annually assess its groundwater quality monitoring data to determine whether monitoring activities and County Ordinances require expansion, modification or reduction. This Policy requires the County to regularly re- assess its groundwater quality monitoring efforts. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written.

Anecdotal evidence showing that the shallower wells run dry in the dry- weather seasons of the year should not be overlooked.] Policy 3.5: Collier County shall continue to conduct water resource planning with appropriate County, City of Naples,. and SFWMD staff to provide for ground water resource development, utilization, and conservation. This Policy requires the County to coordinate their water resource planning efforts with other agencies. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written. [Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting a number of these `other regulatory agencies' be identified, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency. (FEMA), Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE), as those among whom water resource management is coordinated — including surface water, stormwater, and water supplies for municipal services.] [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from August 11, 2010 EAR Workshop —Suggesting that water resource planning efforts include the greater Golden Gate Estates area, and take into consideration public health factors. ] 6 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE SUB - ELEMENT 9B OBJECTIVE: 4 (PUBLIC EDUCATION WITH REGARD TO GROUNDWATER PROTECTION ISSUES): The County shall continue current activities of providing the public with educational materials concerning ground water protection issues in Collier County. These may include, but shall not be limited to, the preparation of annual technical publications of ground water quality data, an informational website for groundwater quality issues, general information publications, establishment of a speakers' bureau, K -12 classroom presentations, and in- service teacher workshops and seminars. Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective requires continuation of County public educational activities with regard to groundwater protection issues. The Pollution Control & Prevention Department maintains a website that identifies all of the programs designed to protect the County's groundwater from pollution. The team prepares and distributes an Annual Newsletter designed to educate businesses on the proper method of managing the hazardous wastes they generate. Team members have also spoken before various . groups /organizations about what Pollution Control does and the team remains available to answer any questions the public, regulatory community, and/or policy makers may have. Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ". Policy Relevance: There are two (2) policies within this Objective. Policy 4.1: The County shall continue to advise the public on the appropriate disposal methods for hazardous wastes, for the purpose of reducing or avoiding the potential for groundwater contamination. In performing this task, the County may utilize the public educational measures listed within Objective 4 of this Sub - Element, or any other measures which may be appropriate. This Policy requires the development of a public awareness program relative to hazardous waste disposal issues. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written. The reference to "Objective 4" should be revised to correspond to the reformatting of said Objective, as applicable. 7 P UBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE SUB - ELEMENT 9B OBJECTIVE 5 (PROTECTION OF CRITICAL RECHARGE AREAS AND GROUNDWATER RESOURCES): The County shall implement plans to preserve critical ground water recharge areas and ground water resources, and will review, evaluate, and revise (if warranted) those plans and actions, based on the best available geologic, hydrologic, hydrogeologic, and anthropogenic contaminant data. Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective shares portions of its stated intent with Objectives 1, 2 and 3 above. This Objective focuses the County's responsibilities on "critical" recharge areas and resources, whereas the above Objectives identify all recharge areas and resources related to groundwater protection. Protecting water quality and minimizing flood hazards employ watershed -based approaches that balance environmental, economic and engineering considerations to meet these standards. This Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be revised to replace "implement" with "continue implementing" and rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective [Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting that watershed management and water resource management should take a more holistic approach.] [Planning Commission [CCPC) Comment from August 27 2010 EAR Worksho — Suggesting that the use of the term "critical" has no clear definition and should be removed from this Objective and where found in its subsequent Policies.] [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from November 3 2010 EAR Adoption Hearing — Concurring with the CCPC suggestion to remove the term "critical" from these entries.] Policy Relevance: There are five (5) policies within this Objective. Policy 5.5: Collier County shall continue to operate and maintain a hazardous waste collection facility. The facility shall operate five (5) days per week and will accept household and small business hazardous wastes. Additionally, the County shall continue to hold its hazardous waste collection day at least twice per year targeting residential households but also allowing small businesses to participate. This Policy requires the County to continue operating its hazardous waste collection facility. This Policy remains relevant, but provides a level of specificity regarding days and hours of operation that is not necessary in a comprehensive planning document. This Policy remains relevant nonetheless and should be retained if rewritten to provide a lesser amount of specificity appropriate for the GMP. 8 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE SUB - ELEMENT 9B CONSIDER INTRODUCING A NEW OBJECTIVE AND SUBSEQUENT POLICY OR POLICIES FOLLOWING FROM THE 2009 ADOPTION OF HB 697.

Introduction and Background The purpose of the Housing Element is to provide guidance to the County in developing appropriate policies and programs which demonstrate the County's commitment to meet any identified and projected deficits in the supply of housing. Further, the stated Goal of the Housing Element is to provide an adequate supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for all residents of Collier County. In order to accomplish this goal, the County has implemented strategies aimed at the development of new residential units and the rehabilitation or demolition of substandard units. During the planning period for this Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR), the County has successfully administered various State and Federal programs, including but not limited to, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funds, HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) entitlement funds, Emergency Shelter Grant funds, State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funds, and funds authorized by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 - all of which funded numerous development and redevelopment activities. The range of funded activities includes, but is not limited to, a single family unit rehabilitation program, multi - family affordable rental unit development, park and infrastructure development, redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed homes, and homebuyer education programs. In total, during this planning period, the County has assisted individuals and families with down payment and closing costs in the amount of $11,571,965; funded residential rehabilitation projects in the amount of $3,108,884; and, assisted in the development of affordable - workforce housing projects by deferring impact fees in the amount of $9,723,672.68. The County has been successful in reducing the number of substandard housing units, preserving historical and archeological resources, stabilizing neighborhoods by rehabilitating residential units, and encouraging development of, or commitments to develop, affordable- workforce housing within the County, through the establishment and funding of programs, and adoption of policies and regulations, aimed at achieving the County's housing objectives. However, notwithstanding these successes, the County's objective of creating 1,000 new affordable - workforce housing units each year during the evaluation period for this EAR has not been achieved. The County has approved approximately 4,214 affordable- workforce units to be built, but only 728 of those units have been constructed. Recent cost - burdened household data, from the University of Florida's Shimberg Center for Housing Studies (July 2010), indicate that in 2010 approximately 35,942 residents are cost burdened, spending greater than thirty percent of their household income on housing related expenses, and by 2030 that number is expected to grow to 52,737 households. The data in Table 1. further indicate that over a 20- year period the average annual demand for affordable units will be approximately 840 units. This figure reveals an approximate 160 unit per year decrease in the affordable housing demand over the previous figure of 1,000 units recommended in the 2004 EAR. Housing Element 7= Table 1. Years Average Annual Increase in Cost Burdened Households 2010-2015 2015-2020 881 Units /Year 2020-2025 71 2025-2030 u.._.. 856 Units /Year Source: Shimberg Center, July 2010 The above data suggest that the County can reduce the annual production rate of affordable - workforce housing units. Further supporting this position is an estimated 3,486 affordable- workforce units approved, but not built, and the current availability of unrestricted affordable housing supply in the market as a result of the economic downturn across the State. The recent decline in the housing market has increased affordability; however, it's important to note that these units are unrestricted (not subject to regulatory control of rental or sale price, occupant income level, time period to remain affordable, etc.), and are likely to increase in value as market conditions change over time. This in turn would reduce the affordable- workforce housing supply in the County. Regarding the approved, but not yet built units, it is unknown how many of those units will be built and when they would become available. The Housing Element should continue to include a specific requirement for the provision of affordable housing to ensure that its goal, to provide an adequate supply of safe, decent and affordable housing for all residents of Collier County, is achieved. Continuing to secure "restricted" affordable - workforce housing units will reduce the long -term demand and increase the affordable- workforce housing supply in the County. B. Objective Analysis OBJECTIVE 1: The number of new affordable - workforce housing units shall increase by at least fifteen percent of the units approved to be built in the County per year, but not less than 1,000 units per year averaged over a five -year period in an effort to continue meeting the current and future housing needs of legal residents with very-low, low and moderate incomes, including households with special needs such as rural and farmworker housing in rural Collier County. Obiective Achievement Analysis: This objective has not been met. During years 2005 -2009, the review period for this EAR, there have been approximately 4,214 affordable - workforce units approved to be built and approximately 728 units built in Collier County. Estimates from the University of Florida's Shimberg Center for Housing Studies indicate that the increase in cost burdened households does not reach or exceed 1,000 units per year. The following is a summary of the projected increases in cost burdened households in Collier County through year 2030. 2 Housing Element Gl:� Years Average Annual Increase In Cost - Burdened Households 2010-2015 732 units /year 2015-2020 881 units /year 2020-2025 890 units /year 2025-2030 856 units /year Source: University of Florida Shimberg Center for Housing Studies, July 2010 As reflected above, the average annual increase in cost burdened households is not expected to exceed 890 units per year•, the projections reveal a 160 unit per year need less than the current 1,000 unit requirement. This suggests that the Housing Element should be amended to reduce the minimum annual unit production of affordable- workforce housing. Further analyses of the above data show an annual average over 20 a year period to be 840 units. A newly revised minimum unit per year production of at least 10 percent of all units approved, but not less than 850 units per year built, may be more appropriate based on the available data. The Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be revised to reflect an annual yearly affordable- workforce unit production rate of at least ten percent of all units approved, but not less than 850 units constructed per year. Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25 2010 EAR Workshop —Suggesting to reduce the proposed affordable - workforce housing unit production figure of 850 units to 500 units to account for the future supply of affordable - workforce units approved, but not yet built, and the existing affordable- workforce housing supply, resulting from declining home prices caused by the economic downturn. Staff Comment Post December 7, 2010 Planning Commission (CCPC) Adoption Hearing — Suggesting that staff work with the Department of Community Affairs to determine the appropriate number of affordable- workforce housing units to be constructed annually to meet demand within the County. [The BCC directed staff to include the market rate inventory with the EAR support data on 12114110.] Board of County Commissioners BCC) Comment from the January 31, 2011 Adoption Hearing — Evaluate for possible elimination of the affordable - workforce housing annual production rate requirement, or establish a new rate that is commensurate with the County's projected demand — based on County inventory, affordable - workforce units approved, but not yet built, and market conditions. Policy Relevance: Policy 1.1: Collier County shall pursue interlocal agreements with the City of Naples, the City of Marco Island, and Everglades City to require that each city provide their proportionate share of affordable - workforce housing units (or the financial equivalent). Each city's proportionate share and financial equivalent will be evaluated and substantiated by the most current data, studies, and methods available to the County. 3 Housing Element 99 Policy Achievement Analysis: The County has existing interlocal agreements with the City of Naples and the City of Marco Island. These agreements identify the municipalities' affordable - workforce housing obligations, based on current data, such as population and other methods available to the County. Through the interlocal agreement between the County and the City of Naples, the City receives CDBG funds and participates in the SHIP program, returning its allocated 7 percent to the County to administer a joint affordable housing program. Through the interlocal agreement between the County and the City of Marco Island, the City provides $50,000 dollars annually or 10 percent of the building permit revenues, whichever is greater, to the County to administer affordable housing programs. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to reflect that the County presently has affordable- housing interlocal agreements with the City of Naples and the City of Marco Island; and, add a requirement that the municipalities shall re- evaluate their respective interlocal agreements with the County every three years. Policy 1.4: Collier County shall seek to distribute affordable-�workforce housing equitably throughout the county where adequate infrastructure and services are available. Programs and strategies to encourage affordable- workforce housing development may include, but are not limited to, density by right within the Immokalee Urban area and other density bonus provisions, impact fee deferrals, expedited permitting (fast tracking), public - private partnerships, providing technical assistance and intergovernmental coordination. Policy Achievement Analysis: The equitable distribution of affordable - workforce housing throughout the county has been problematic and the location of the various affordable- workforce housing projects has been generally driven by market forces. The success of this Policy may continue to be based on market forces until affordable - housing incentives are adopted to encourage the provision of affordable - workforce housing in targeted areas of the County. Further, the County currently offers expedited permitting, flexible density and technical support to encourage and promote affordable- workforce development within the County. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained Public Comment (Community Meeting on 1125110 and 2123/10 Public stated that the County does not do enough to provide housing opportunities in close proximity to employment centers, and thresholds should be established to minimize saturation ofaffordable housing in a single geography. Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment om August 25 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting the removal of the phrase, "seek to distribute affordable- workforce housing equitably throughout the county" and, insertion of text within the Policy that is consistent with Section 163.317769 I.g., Florida Statutes, which states, "...avoid the concentration of affordable housing units only in specific areas of the jurisdiction. " Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from December 7 2010 — Suggesting that staff work with Habitat for Humanity representatives to revise Policy text, consistent with Florida Statutes. [Habitat representative voiced concern about proposed CCPC Policy change at the Hearing.] 4 Housing Element 9� Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Comment from the January 31, 2011 Adoption Hearing — Avoid the concentration of any one affordable- housing category within any one geographic area. OBJECTIVE 2: The Collier County Board of County Commissioners aided in the establishment of the Collier County Housing Development Corporation in 2003. The mission of the Housing Development Corporation is to serve as a non -profit agency, with an executive board made up of representatives from business, government, housing advocates, and the community at large, which along with other not for profit agencies shall assist Collier County and its municipalities in achieving a goal of increasing the number of affordable - workforce housing units by at least fifteen percent of the units approved to be built in the County per year, but not less than 1,000 units per year averaged over a five -year period for very -low, low and moderate income residents of Collier County. Objective Achievement Analysis: The mission of the Housing Development Corporation of Southwest Florida (fka The Collier County Housing Development Corporation) has shifted its focus to foreclosure prevention and homebuyer education. The Housing Development Corporation (HDC) is no longer an active participant in vertical construction. The Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be modified to reflect the removal of the HDC reference and their stated mission; add the phrase "for- profit and not - for- profit providers of affordable- workforce housing" before the phrase, "shall assist Collier County... "; and, delete the references to "fifteen" percent and "1,000" units and replace with "ten" percent and "850" units, consistent with the changes proposed in Objective 1. Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting to insert the affordable- workforce housing production figure of 500 units, consistent with changes proposed in Objective 1. Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Comment from the January 31, 2011 Adoption Hearing — Evaluate for possible elimination of the affordable - workforce housing annual production rate requirement, or establish a new rate that is commensurate with the County's existing and projected demand — based on County inventory, affordable - workforce units approved, but not yet built, and market conditions. Policy Relevance: Policy 2.1: Not for profit agencies, such as the Collier County Housing Development Corporation shall assist the County in reaching its annual affordable - workforce housing goal by holding workshops and fairs to raise awareness and understanding of housing issues in the County; working together to purchase and develop parcels; and, contributing funds towards the purchase of land for affordable - workforce housing projects. S Housing Element Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to relect the removal of the HDC reference, as their focus has changed to foreclosure prevention and homebuyer education. Public Comment (Community Meetings held on 1125110 2123110 and 3115110): Public stated that impact fee waivers are needed for affordable housing projects, and others stated that impact fees should be eliminated all together for affordable housing projects. Policy 2.9: The County shall review the County's Affordable- workforce Housing Density Bonus Ordinance every two years or sooner, as necessary, and revise the Ordinance, as necessary, to reflect changing community needs and market conditions. The purpose of the Affordable- workforce Housing Density Bonus Ordinance shall be to encourage the blending of affordable - workforce housing density bonus units into market rate developments as well as to support developments exclusively providing affordable - workforce housing. Policy Achievement Analysis: The Ordinance is currently under review by the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, and is expected to be completed by December 2010. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to reflect a new review time line of 3 years rather than 2 years, to make consistent with Section 420.9076 (4) F.S. Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 3115110) Public stated that density bonus incentives for affordable housing development within mixed use projects should be provided. Policy 2.10: The Collier County Operations Support and Housing Department shall continue to operate affordable- workforce housing programs, in cooperation with public and private sponsors, to provide safe, affordable- workforce housing to residents of the County's urban designated areas and rural areas. Programs operated by the Department will continue to include, but are not limited to: • Impact fee deferrals • Housing rehabilitation and emergency repairs • Down payment and closing cost assistance Policy Achievement Analysis: The housing programs are working as intended. During the evaluation period for this EAR, the County has funded approximately $9,723,672.68 in impact fee deferrals; $3,108,883.69 in housing and rehabilitation and emergency repairs; and $11,571,964.51 in down payment and closing costs for income qualified persons /families. 6 Housing Element �I] This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to reflect a departmental name change — "Housing and Human Services Department "; and add to the listing of programs operated by the Housing Department, "Acquisition and rehabilitation program." Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 1125110): Public stated that the County should provide land for affordable housing. Policy 2.11: The Collier County Operations Support and Housing Department will continue to coordinate with local utility providers to ensure that the necessary infrastructure and facilities for new housing developments are in place, consistent with the County's Concurrency Management System. Policy Achievement Analysis: The Housing Department does not currently coordinate with local utility providers. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained in some form. The Policy should be revised to reflect the removal of the "Collier County Operations Support and Housing Department" and in its place insert the following, "The County in coordination with for - profit and not - for - profit providers of affordable- workforce housing development..." Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 3115110) Public stated that public transportation should be provided proximate to affordable housing. OBJECTIVE 3: Collier County shall continue to support and adequately fund housing programs to promote the preservation and protection of existing, stable residential neighborhoods. This will be accomplished through the utilization of State Housing Incentives Partnership (SHIP) and CDBG programs including, but not limited to, down payment/closing cost assistance, rehabilitation and emergency repair, demolition with new construction, and impact fee deferrals. [This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed] Policy Relevance: * Policy 3.5: The City of Naples will initiate a study of the Old Naples area to determine architectural and development standards to protect and preserve the existing residential character of the area. Policy Achievement Anal A study has not yet been conducted. However, the City remains interested in incentives to preserve and protect the existing residential character of the Old Naples area. The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to include a date when the study must be completed so that the Policy is measurable. Housing Element 9B * Policy 3.7: The City of Naples will implement their housing maintenance code to address the conservation of housing stock and the preservation and protection of residential neighborhoods. Policy Achievement Analysis: The City considered a Housing Maintenance Code, but one has not yet been adopted. The City does however include Neighborhood Action Plans for all recognized neighborhoods within the City as an element of its Comprehensive Plan. Specific needs and desires of each neighborhood are established, addressed and evaluated in those Plans. The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to include a date when the study must be completed so that the Policy is measurable. OBJECTIVE 4: Collier County and the City of Naples will conduct a comprehensive housing survey, every three years or sooner, for the purpose of identifying substandard dwelling units. Through continued enforcement of County housing codes, and the provision of housing rehabilitation or replacement programs, the number of substandard units (associated with a lack of plumbing and /or kitchen facilities) throughout the County shall be reduced by 5% per year through rehabilitation or demolition. Obiective Achievement Analysis: [County] A comprehensive housing survey has been completed in certain areas of the County. The surveying of other geographies will occur in the future as funding and staff resources become available. The County, however, will continue its enforcement activities to reduce the number of substandard units within the county. Obiective Achievement Analysis: [City of Naples] A comprehensive City-wide survey of Naples has not been completed. Generally, substandard housing units are identified by the City's Building and Code Enforcement Divisions. The City's Building and Code Enforcement Divisions do not conduct annual surveys of housing conditions to identify substandard units; such assessments occur only as a result of a natural disaster. Further, there have been no units rehabbed, demolished or replaced by the City through rehabilitation or replacement programs during this review period for this EAR However, many units were rehabilitated by property owners following hurricane Wilma in October of 2005. This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be revised to remove the reference to the City of Naples conducting a survey, as the City does not have this activity programmed or funded in their work plan. Policy Relevance: Policy 4.3: Review and amend the existing relocation policy of the City of Naples and the County, and create one uniform relocation housing policy, consistent with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requirements. 8 Housing Element GI7 Policy Achievement Analysis: A uniform relocation housing policy has not yet been created for the County and the City of Naples. Until such a policy is adopted, both the County and City of Naples will continue to abide by the provisions of the Uniform Relocation Act. This policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be updated to include a completion date for the joint County and City uniform relocation housing policy, so that the Policy is measurable. OBJECTIVE 5: Collier County and the City of Naples will annually monitor all identified historically significant homes to determine if these structures are being conserved, maintained, and /or rehabilitated. [This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed] Policy Relevance: Policy 5.4: By 2008, Collier County and the City of Naples will study potential incentives to encourage the conservation, maintenance and rehabilitation of historic homes and will make recommendations to the City Council and to the Board of County Commissioners as to which incentives should be adopted. Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy objective has not been achieved. The Board of County Commissioners and the City Council have not yet adopted incentives to encourage the conservation, maintenance and rehabilitation of historic homes. However, in December, 2005, City Council and the City's Planning Advisory Board convened a joint meeting for the purpose of discussing a proposed historic preservation ordinance. Thereafter, planning staff was directed to prepare a revised draft ordinance that includes stronger incentives for the preservation of historic homes. The ordinance has not been adopted; however, the City remains interested in incentives to preserve historic structures. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be amended to reflect a revised completion date for the joint study between the County and the City of Naples by year 2011. Policy 5.6: By 2008, the Board of County Commissioners shall commission a new Historical Survey for all of unincorporated Collier County. The Survey shall review the current status of all previously identified historical structures and sites within the unincorporated County and shall make recommendations as to which of these sites or structures should be nominated to the National Register. The Survey shall also review and make similar recommendations regarding any previously unidentified historic structures or sites. Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy objective has not been achieved due to an inability to fund the Survey. The County continues to rely on the Historical and Archeological Probability Map Series, updated in 1999, to determine if a project is within an area of probability. 9 Housing Element IM, The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the survey commission date should be modified to reflect a future date when funding potentially would be available to the conduct the survey. Policy 5.7: By 2009, the Historical/Archaeological Preservation Ordinance shall be updated to include the results of the Historical Survey and to include any relevant changes in State or Federal regulations concerning historical properties. Policy Achievement Analysis. This Policy objective has not been achieved. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the date of the required revisions to the Ordinance should be modified to coincide with the amended survey commission date established for Policy 5.6. OBJECTIVE 6: Collier County shall monitor changes to state and federal regulations pertaining to group care facilities, and, as necessary, amend its Land Development Code to ensure compliance. Objective Achievement Analysis: The County will continue monitoring all related state and federal regulations as an ongoing activity. This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from the August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting to replace the term "group care facilities " with "group housing and Continuing Care Retirement Centers " to broaden the purpose of the Objective. OBJECTIVE 7: Although mobile home parks currently exist within Collier County, as a result of the coastal community's susceptibility to flooding and storm surges, any new mobile home parks will be restricted to areas outside of the Urban Coastal Fringe. Objective Achievement Analysis: The County currently prohibits new mobile home parks within the Urban Coastal Fringe. This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from the August 25. 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting to replace incorrect reference to the Urban Coastal Fringe with the correct reference to the "Coastal High Hazard Area. " OBJECTIVE 8: Collier County shall continue to utilize SHIP, CDBG, or other funding sources and, in partnership with Federal, State and non - profit housing agencies, will seek to provide a minimum of 50 rehabilitated or new residential units per year for very low, low and moderate income residents of the Immokalee Urban Area, Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, and within the 10 Housing Element 9 Rural Lands Stewardship Area. Families benefiting from such housing will include, but not be limited to, farmworkers and other populations with special housing needs. Objective Achievement Analysis: The County continues to exceed the minimum number of rehabilitation projects required by this Objective. During the latter years of the evaluation period for this EAR, the County assisted with the rehabilitation of 92 residential properties, and funded rehabilitation projects in the amount of $3,108,883.69 during the entire review period for this EAR. Additionally, the County was allocated $7,306,755 to assist with the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed homes and residential properties. As of June 2009, 35 percent of those funds have been committed for the acquisition and rehabilitation of foreclosed properties. Further, the County was awarded funding under the Disaster Recovery Initiative grant which has funded rehabilitation projects throughout the County. It should be noted that the process for awarding funds tc competitive, not restricted to certain geographies within t recommends revising the Objective to remove the restriction only in the Immokalee Urban Area, Rural Fringe Mixed U; Stewardship Area. Policy Relevance: rehabilitate residential units must be ie County. As a result, the County that rehabilitated units must be located e District, and within the Rural Lands Policy 8.1: Collier County shall continue to pursue the policy of requiring all non - conforming or sub- standard residences of any type within the Immokalee Urban Area to be either rehabilitated to current housing code standards or demolished. Policy Achievement Anal Collier County transmitted the revised Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP) Element to the Department of Community Affairs on June 23, 2010. This Element provides specific objectives to promote the rehabilitation of substandard residences within the Immokalee Urban Area. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to remove the reference to "non- conforming" residences, so that it correlates with the Master Plan revisions that have no such policies. Policy 8.2: By 2008, Collier County shall complete a review of the residential density caps established within the Immokalee Area Master Plan Element of this Growth Management Plan. Based upon this review, the County shall determine if and where it may be appropriate to increase such caps, so as to encourage the development of new affordable - workforce housing units for farmworkers, very low, low and moderate income residents. Policy Achievement Analysis: The residential density cap review was completed as part of the Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP) Element re -write, transmitted to the Department of Community Affairs on June 23, 2010. The density caps were raised in certain sub - districts to 20 units per acre. This change would allow the development of an additional +6,730 dwelling units within the Immokalee Urban Area; presumably promoting affordable- workforce housing developments. 11 Housing Element e� This Policy is no longer relevant and should be deleted, as the Policy objective has been fulfilled. Policy 8.3: During 2004, the County completed a housing assessment survey of single family, multi- family, and mobile home units and mobile home parks in the Immokalee Urban Area, in order to determine the number of units that do not meet the County's current health, safety and minimum housing codes. The County shall target affordable - workforce housing and code enforcement programs to correct the conditions. Policy Achievement Analysis: The County has completed a housing assessment survey of the Immokalee Urban Area by the date specified in the Policy. As part of the survey, the County identified units that did not meet the County's minimum housing codes. The County will continue to work with area residents to correct housing conditions, and will continue to implement programs to improve the housing stock in the lmmokalee Urban Area. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be modified to reflect the completion of the survey; and, include a reference identifying that activities are ongoing. Policy 8.6: Collier County will continue to utilize CDBG funds to provide farmworker- housing opportunities. In addition to housing units that currently qualify for assistance under SHIP program guidelines, special consideration of CDBG funds will be aimed at units that current SHIP program guidelines prohibit from assistance (i.e., mobile home units). Farmworkers will also be encouraged, through the use of multi - lingual outreach programs, to take advantage of any other CDBG, SHIP, Local, State, Federal and private programs for which they may qualify. Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to remove the second sentence, as the process for awarding Federal and State funds is competitive and not intended for set - asides. This Element is affected by changes to Chapter 163, Florida Statute, which were adopted into law in 2008, as follows: 163.3177(6)(f)l.h. and i. Requires that the housing element include standards, plans and principles to be followed in energy efficiency in the design and construction of new housing and in the use of renewable energy resources. Ch. 2008 -191, LOF. (HB 697) Staff proposed the below Objective and associated Policies to address these requirements. OBJECTIVE 9: Collier County shall support housing programs that encourage the development of energy efficient and environmentally sensitive housing. 12 Housing Element Policy 9.1: The County will encourage the construction of energy efficient housing by exploring innovative regulations that promote energy conserving and environmentally sensitive technologies and design. Policy 9.2: The County shall educate the public about the economic and environmental benefits of resource efficient design and construction. Policy 9.3: The County shall expedite plan review of housing projects that promote energy conservation and design. Policy 9.4: The County shall continue to encourage the development of mixed housing types near employment centers in order to reduce Green House Gas emissions and minimize carbon footprints. Policy 9.5: The County shall promote the incorporation of US EPA Energy Star Building and Appliances programs into construction and rehabilitation practices. 13 Housing Element SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES 99 2011 EVALUATION & APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR) RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT - ROSE Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Element will be revised to reflect the proper formatting for all Goals, Objectives and Policies, as defined below: Goal: General statement defining what the plan will ultimately achieve, typically beginning with "TO" followed by a transitive verb, such as, TO PROTECT or TO ENSURE.

However, Chapter 9J- 5.014, Florida Administrative Code, which formerly contained the Florida Department of Community Affairs' "Minimum Standards" for review of local Recreation and Open Space Elements, has been deleted. Thus, while the Recreation and Open Space Element remains a requirement for local comprehensive plans in the State of Florida, the format and contents of such an Element may be tailored to local needs, provided that the intent of the Statute is met. The Recreation and Open Space Element is divided into three sections, each of which is guided by a specific goal. These three sections are: • The general provision of parks, recreation facilities and open space areas for the use and enjoyment of Collier County residents and visitors. • The development of a countywide neighborhood park system. • The development of a countywide regional and community park system. These three primary goals are the aims to which the Element's objectives and policies seek to accomplish. The second of the above goals is being proposed to be deleted as a standalone goal and is being proposed as a policy with revisions and clarification as to the responsibility for providing and maintaining these neighborhood facilities. The reason behind this proposed change sits with the fact that the County does not have a Level of Service Standard for neighborhood parks, as is the case with community and regional parks and does not provide these facilities on a regular or consistent basis, but rather seeks individual developments to provide for localized recreational facilities. Below is the evaluation of the existing Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Rose. GOAL 1: PROVIDE SUFFICIENT PARKS, RECREATION FACILITIES AND OPEN SPACE AREAS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF RESIDENTS AND VISITORS OF COLLIER COUNTY. Goal 1 adequately reflects mission statement of the Parks and Recreation Department. OBJECTIVE 1.1: Continue to ensure that a comprehensive system of parks and recreation facilities is available from among facilities provided by the County, other governmental bodies and the private sector. Obiective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remains as written. The Objective is designed to specifically further Goal One by providing for recreational opportunities by the County based upon the availability of the various facilities provided by other providers and targeting the service gaps. I Recreation and Open Space Element 9 Policy 1.1.1: Collier County hereby adopts the following level of service standards for facilities and land owned by the County or available to the general public: LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARD: A. 1.2882 acres of community park land /1,000 population (unincorporated) B. 2.9412 acres of regional park land /1,000 population C. Recreation facilities — Facilities in place, which have a value (as (X) defined) of at least $270.00 per capita of population. A Construction Cost Index (CCI) adjustment will be used to determine the construction cost of facilities planned. The CCI that will be used will be the prior year of the County's fiscal year budget. 1. Value will be arrived at using the per unit values for each facility type available in the County, as set forth in the Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR), applying the values to the number of each facility type, adding up all values and dividing the total by the County population. 2. Where recreation facilities provided by other governmental bodies or the private sector are available through arrangement with the County to the public on a convenient basis, they shall be considered in measuring in -place facility value. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions. The Board of County Commissioners determined during the 2007 Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) that recreational facilities are no longer a Level of Service to be counted in the AUIR. The Recreational facilities value was replaced with Recreational facility type guidelines. Therefore the Recreational facilities LOS no longer is applicable and need to be deleted from the element. It was also directed that Community and Regional Park (LOSS) Level of Service acres per 1,000 be rounded down. Revise to 1.2 acres of community park land/1,000 population (unincorporated) 2.7 acres of regional park land/1,000 population At the conclusion of the ROSE Objective and Policy analysis, a series of charts, graphs and maps will illustrate the Level of Service analysis for Regional and Community parks. Policy 1.1.5: Continue to correct or improve existing . parks and recreation facilities deficiencies which are necessary in order to meet the level of service standards. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text for deletion. The Board of County Commissioners determined during the 2007 Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) that recreational facilities are no longer a Level of Service to be counted in the AUIR. The Recreational facilities value was replaced with Recreational facility type guidelines. Policy 1.1.6: The County shall continue to establish and implement a program with appropriate criteria to designate or acquire open space areas and natural reservations. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions. 2 Recreation and Open Space Element k �� Current policy is confusing recommend clarifying by the following: The County shall continue to establish and implement a program with appropriate criteria to pursue and acquire open space areas and natural reservations. A series of community planning initiatives, begun in the late 1980s, culminated in 2001 with the Community Character and Design visioning process that brought to the forefront of community dialogues the need for a greenspace acquisition program. Currently, 28 other Florida Counties have similar, successful programs. The resulting initiative, "Vote Conservation 2002" placed a referendum question on the November 2002 ballot, asking voters whether they would be willing to tax themselves one quarter mill for 10 years to buy conservation lands and greenspace and to approve a $75 million limited tax general obligation bond. Nearly sixty percent of Collier County voters approved the measure. As a result, the Conservation Collier Ordinance (Ordinance No. 2002 -63) was developed, with citizen input and County Commission approval, to respond to identified conservation needs and make conservation and protection of environmental resources into a real plan for the future. In November 2006 Voters were again asked in a referendum "straw vote" question whether they understood and approved that the Conservation Collier Program would be funded by a quarter mill ad valorum property tax for a period of ten (10) years, until 2013, expected to raise approximately $189 million as opposed to limiting it to a $75 million program. Eighty -two percent (82 %) of the respondents indicated that they understood the design of the Conservation Collier Program. Since 2004 the program has acquired 3,901.45 acres. A list of the property acquisitions and a map spatially depicting all property acquired through the program to date follows the ROSE section. OBJECTIVE 1.2: Protect designated recreation sites and open space from incompatible land uses through development of appropriate design criteria and land use regulations. Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remain. Objective is adequate to meet current protections for designated recreation sites and open space and the issue of incompatible land uses has not been an issue with the existing inventory of park sites. OBJECTIVE 1.3: Continue to ensure that all public developed recreational facilities, open space and beaches and public water bodies are accessible to the general public. O_biective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the text remain. Current objective embodies the need for public accessibility to facilities, open spaces and beaches. This priority has remained high on the agenda of the County since the 2004 EAR. Policy 1.3.1: County -owned or managed parks and recreation facilities shall have automobile, bicycle and /or pedestrian access, where the location is appropriate and where such access is economically feasible. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions. With HB697 -2008 energy conservation and efficiency requirements, the provision of energy efficient land use patterns, and strategies reducing green house gas, specific consideration should be given to alternative forms of transportation. 3 Recreation and Open Space Element Recommend amending policy to reflect: County -owned or managed parks and recall facilities shall have automobile, bicycle and/or pedestrian access, where the location is appropriate and where such access is economically feasible, with specific consideration given to alternative forms of transportation that would reduce VMT and green house gas. OBJECTIVE 1.4: Continue formal mechanism to improve and coordinate efforts among levels of government and the private sector in order to provide recreational opportunities. Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remains. The formal mechanisms in place ( Interlocal agreement process with the School District, Interlocal agreements with the state and municipal park providers and the land reservation through the public hearing process) is meeting the needs of the County to satisfy the current level of service requirements. Policy 1.4.1: Through the land development review process, Collier County shall continue to encourage developers to provide recreation sites and /or facilities within residential and mixed use Planned Unit Developments (PUDs). Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends revisions to the text. Recommend policy to reflect the following change: Through the land development review process, Collier County shall continue to encourage developers to provide recreation sites and /or facilities within residential and mixed use Planned Unit Developments (PUDs), where appropriate. The policy revision is a simple reflection that park sites are not appropriate and/or feasible in all PUD request. Policy 1.4.2: Collier County shall continue to coordinate the provision of recreational facilities and activities with other governmental jurisdictions that own or operate such facilities and activities within, or adjacent to, Collier County. Said governmental entities shall include, but not necessarily be limited to: U.S. Department of Commerce, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration U.S. Department of the Interior, The National Park Service The Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Recreation and Parks Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Forestry Lee County, Florida Hendry County, Florida Broward County, Florida Miami -Dade County, Florida Monroe County, Florida The South Florida Water Management District, Big Cypress Basin Board 4 Recreation and Open Space Element The Collier County School Board The City of Naples, Florida The City of Marco Island, Florida Everglades City, Florida The City of Bonita Springs, Florida Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends revisions. Deletion of everything in the policy after, "or adjacent to, Collier County. " The County does not see the value in listing the specific entity and would not preclude coordination with an entity that was not listed or designated per the Policy. Policy 1.5.1: Collier County shall maintain a current inventory of recreational facility commitments made by developers through the development review process. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends revisions to the text. Current policy should be amended to include open space commitments as well as recreational facilities to inventory. Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Add "and usable open space" after "recreational facility" in existing policy. OBJECTIVE 1.6: Whenever possible and practical, utilize County owned property for recreational uses. Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remain. Current objective continues to be relevant and allows for land inventory to be dedicated to parks use when deemed appropriate by the Board. GOAL 2: THE COUNTY SHALL PROMOTE A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK SYSTEM TO MEET THE RECREATIONAL NEEDS OF RESIDENTS WITHIN THE COUNTY. Goal Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends Goal be deleted. OBJECTIVE 21: By the year 2010, the County Parks and Recreation Department will identify general areas where neighborhoods might request sites for future neighborhood parks. Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the Objective be deleted. Neighborhood Parks are not inventoried in the Annual Update Inventory Report and no level of service for their provision has been established by the County. Recommend policies related to the Neighborhood Park system be met at the LDC level. 5 Recreation and Open Space Element 9B Policy 2.1.1: The Parks and Recreation Department will identify those sites or general areas for neighborhood parks with citizen input to determine the types of recreational facilities particular communities would like to see within their neighborhoods. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the policy be deleted. Neighborhood Parks are not inventoried in the Annual Update Inventory Report and no level of service for their provision has been established by the County. Recommend policies related to the Neighborhood Park system be met at the LDC level. Policy 2.1.2: The County shall amend the Land Development Code to require the developer of a residential PUD, or a PUD having a residential component, to provide its residents and guests with a suitable neighborhood park, as determined on a case -by -case basis, which is, as required by Policy 5.4 in the Future Land Use Element, compatible with the surrounding development. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the policy be modified and relocated to current Objective Three. Neighborhood Parks are not inventoried in the Annual Update Inventory Report and no level of service for their provision has been established by the County. Recommend policies related to the Neighborhood Park system be met at the LDC level. Additionally, this policy needs to be revised to delete the requirement of a "suitable neighborhood park" with the term recreational facilities and clarify the reference to Policy 5.4 of the FLUE to state, "as required by Policy 5.4 in the Future Land Use Element to be compatible with the surrounding development. Policy 2.1.3 New neighborhood parks will be carefully sited and intentionally integrated into existing residential neighborhoods, and shall be designed according to the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), where these principles are appropriate and economically feasible. Neighborhood parks may also be co- located with churches, schools, or other recreational facilities. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the policy be deleted. Neighborhood Parks are not inventoried in the Annual Update Inventory Report and no level of service for their - provision has been established by the County. Recommend policies related to the Neighborhood Park system be met at the LDC level. Policy 2.1.4: The County shall investigate the utilization of tax credits or other incentives for property owners who wish to dedicate land to the County to meet the recreational needs of neighborhood parks. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the policy be deleted. Neighborhood Parks are not inventoried in the Annual Update Inventory Report and no level of service for their provision has been established by the County. Recommend policies related to the Neighborhood Park system be met at the LDC level. 6 Recreation and Open Space Element Policy 2.1.5: The County shall encourage the development of pedestrian pathways and bike lanes from the surrounding residential communities to park sites. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the policy be deleted. With the elimination of the Goal and Objective above related to neighborhood parks, this isolated policy no longer has a larger connection to the ROSE. The policy of encouraging the development of pedestrian pathways and bike lanes to park sites from surrounding residential development is still sound and good policy to better promote individual mobility options and promotes a healthy lifestyle, but the policy is already expressed in Policy 3.1.6 of the existing element GOAL 3: THE COUNTY SHALL DEVELOP A COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PARK SYSTEM TO PROVIDE USEABLE OPEN SPACE TO MEET THE RECREATIONAL NEEDS OF RESIDENTS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. Goal Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends Goal be revised. The Goal needs to be renumbered to reflect the deletion of Goal 2 and expand upon the full integration of mobility options to the County's park system as suggested below. GOAL 2: THE COUNTY SHALL PROMOTE A PARK SYSTEM THAT INCLUDES REGIONAL, COMMUNITYAND NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS WITH PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS AND BIKE LANES TO PROVIDE USEABLE OPEN SPACE TO MEET THE RECREATIONAL NEEDS OF RESIDENTS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. REGIONAL AND COMMUNITY PARK DEVELOPMENT WILL BE BASED ON THE LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARD (LOSS) CONTAINED IN THE CIE). OBJECTIVE 3.1: By the year 2010, the Parks and Recreation Department will develop a Community and Regional Park Plan to provide larger parks and recreational facilities as well as passive open space within a 15 to 20 minute drive of residents within the coastal Urban Designated Area, the Immokalee Urban Designated Area, and Northern Golden Gate Estates (this excludes Conservation designated areas, Agricultural /Rural designated areas, Southern Golden Gate Estates, and the outlying Urban Designated Areas of Copeland, Port of the Islands, Plantation Island and Chokoloskee). This plan will include the identification of future community and regional park sites (or general areas), park improvements, cost estimates, and potential funding sources. The principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) will be integrated into the planning and development of the Community and Regional Park sites. Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions. The County has been unable to complete the Parks Master Plan by 2010, but at the time of the transmission of the EAR to the Department, the majority of the work on the Master Plan will be in progress with the completion of the effort to occur in 2011. The policy will be revised to reflect the adoption of the Parks Master Plan by the Board of County Commissioners. Policy 3.1.1: The Parks and Recreation Department will acquire land to meet the needs of the Community and Regional Park Plan, including sufficient land to allow for a portion of these sites to remain in passive open space. 7 Recreation and Open Space Element Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions. 9 B The numbering will need to be changed to reflect deletion of Goal 2. The policy still reflects current intent related to meeting the needs of Community and Regional Park Acquisition. Policy 3.1.2: The Parks and Recreation Department will be responsible for the design and construction of all new community and regional parks. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions. The numbering will need to be changed to reflect deletion of Goal 2. The Parks Recreation Department shall continue to be responsible for the design and construction of all new community and regional parks. Their professional knowledge concerning park design is essential in the development of these projects. The construction of all new facilities will be designed to satisfy the current Level of Service Standards contained in the ROSE and the CIE. Policy 3.1.3: The County shall continue to partner with Collier County Public Schools to co- locate parks in conjunction with new school sites as such sites are identified and developed and /or to provide County recreational programs at Collier County Public Schools' facilities. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions. The numbering will need to be changed to reflect deletion of Goal 2. This policy meets current need and promotes the concept of co- location expressed within the Public Schools Facilities Element (PSFE) of the GMP. Policy 3.1.4: The County shall continue to update parks and recreation impact fees to keep pace with increased land acquisition and development costs for the establishment of community and regional parks. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions. The numbering will need to be changed to reflect deletion of Goal 2. In addition, recommend removing the text increased from the policy due to current economic environment and providing for a predetermination of market value. Policy 3.1.5: The County shall investigate the utilization of tax credits or other incentives to encourage property owners to dedicate land to the County to meet the recreational needs of community and regional parks. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions. The numbering will need to be changed to reflect deletion of Goal 2. Current policy meets the needs of the acquisition of lands related to regional and community parks. Policy 3.1.6: The County shall encourage the development of pedestrian pathways and bike lanes from the surrounding residential communities to park sites where general public access can be supported. 8 Recreation and Open Space Element Policy chievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions. 9 B v v ty The numbering will need to be changed to reflect deletion of Goal 2. Current policy meets the needs of the development of pedestrian pathways and bike lanes. Policy 3.1.7: By the year 2010, the Parks and Recreation Department and the Transportation Services Division will investigate the utilization of the existing canal and power line easements to create a greenway system within the coastal Urban Designated Area, the Immokalee Urban Designated Area, and Northern Golden Gate Estates (this excludes Conservation designated areas, Agricultural /Rural designated areas, Southern Golden Gate Estates, and the outlying Urban designated areas of Copeland, Port of the Islands, Plantation Island and Chokoloskee). Policy Achievement Anal *sis: Collier County recommends text revisions. The numbering will need to be changed to reflect deletion of Goal 2. This effort has been initiated and will be integrated as a component of the Parks Master Plan. The policy may be revised further based upon the conclusion of the Master Plan effort. 9 Recreation and Open Space Element 9B " SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES 2011 EVALUATION & APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR) Conservation and Coastal Management Element Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Element should be revised to reflect the proper formatting of Goals, Objectives and Policies, as defined below.

Background and Introduction The Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Growth Management Plan provides the County the guidance to: manage coastal systems and historic resources, and maintain shoreline lands and infrastructure so as to enhance environmental, recreational, and economic opportunities and protect human life; protect, conserve and manage natural systems, and vegetative and land resources; and, where appropriate, enhance air and water quality. The Conservation and Coastal Management Element includes thirteen (13) Goals and associated objectives and policies. These Goals are summarized as follows: 1. Protection of natural resources; 2. Protection of surface and estuarine water resources; 3. Protection of groundwater resources; 4. Protection of freshwater resources; 5. Protection of mineral and soil resources; 6. Protection of native vegetation and wildlife habitat; 7. Protection of fisheries and wildlife; 8. Maintenance of existing air quality; 9. Management of hazardous materials and hazardous wastes; 10. Protection of coastal resources; 11. Protection of historic resources; 12. Hurricane evacuation and sheltering; and, 13. Avoiding duplication of regulations During the reporting period for this Evaluation and Appraisal Report, the County has been successful in furthering the Element's overall purposes o£ protecting and conserving natural resources; protecting human life and property along the coast; and, protecting and managing watersheds and estuarine areas. The County has implemented and maintained various programs and regulatory controls that have been instrumental in protecting and conserving wetlands, listed species habitat and other areas appropriate for protection; these include, but are not limited to: (1) The Stewardship Program in the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay; (2) The Transfer of Development Rights Program in the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District; (3) The Conservation Collier land acquisition program; and (4) Regulatory controls within the Conservation and Coastal Management Element and the Land Development Code. Additionally, the County continues to maintain timely hurricane evacuation and sheltering practices; constructed the new James V. Mudd Emergency Services Center with state of the art equipment; maintains water quality and monitoring programs; continues the development of watershed management plans; continues periodic beach renourishment and dredging projects; and, continues to monitor sea turtle nesting. CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT i� Preparation of this Section of the Evaluation & Appraisal Report (EAR) involved coordination between Comprehensive Planning staff and the following departments /sections: Land Development Services Department - Zoning Services Section, Stormwater and Environmental Planning Section, Engineering Services Section; Public Utilities Engineering and Water Departments; Pollution Control Department; Parks and Recreation Department; Coastal Zone Management Department; Facilities Department - Conservation Collier; and the Bureau of Emergency Services. Changes are proposed to the following Objectives and Policies. B. Objective Analysis OBJECTIVE 1.1: Collier County will continue to develop and implement a comprehensive environmental management and conservation program, which will ensure that the natural resources, including State and Federally listed animal species, of Collier County are properly, appropriately, and effectively identified, managed, and protected. Obiective Achievement Analysis: Collier County continues to operate the program described in this Objective. This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be revised to reflect that the program is ongoing. Policy Relevance: Policy 1.1.3: Collier County shall continue to support established environmental policies by maintaining an appropriately administered and professionally staffed governmental unit capable of developing, administering, and providing long -term direction for the protection and management of the County's environmental resources. Policy Achievement Analysis: The County continues to support established environmental policies by maintaining an appropriately administered and professionally staffed governmental unit capable of developing, administering, and providing long -term direction for the protection and management of the County's environmental resources. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11 2010 Workshop - Suggesting that the financial feasibility of achieving the Policy objectives with limited staff resources be evaluated.] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings - Sta Comment - No change to this Policy is recommended. Staff believes that current staffing levels are adequate to fulfill the Policy objectives, and adjustments have been made over time in response to changes in workload.] %Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Comment from the January 31 2011 Adoption Hearing — Concurs with the post EAC and CCPC Workshop and Adoption Hearings staff comments.] 2 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT VAA Policy 1.1.6: In those areas of Collier County where oil extraction and related processing is an allowable use, such use is subject to applicable state and federal oil and gas permits and Collier County non - environmental site development plan review procedures. Directional - drilling and /or previously cleared or disturbed areas shall be utilized in order to minimize impacts to native habitats, where determined to be practicable. This requirement shall be deemed satisfied upon issuance of a state permit in compliance with the criteria established in Chapter 62C -25 through 62C -30, F.A.C., as those rules exist on the effective date of this amendment to the Collier County Comprehensive Plan, regardless of whether the activity occurs within the Big Cypress Watershed, as defined in Rule 62C- 30.001(2), F.A.C. All applicable Collier County environmental permitting requirements shall be considered satisfied by evidence of the issuance of all applicable federal and /or state oil and gas permits for proposed oil and gas activities in Collier County, so long as the state permits comply with the requirements of Chapter 62C -25 through 62C -30, F.A.C. For those areas of Collier County outside the boundary of the Big Cypress Watershed, the applicant shall be responsible for convening the Big Cypress Swamp Advisory Committee as set forth in Section 377.42, F.S., to assure compliance with Chapter 62C -25 through 62C -30, F.A.C. even if outside the defined Big Cypress Watershed. All access roads to oil and gas uses shall be constructed and protected from unauthorized uses according to the standards established in Rule 62C- 30.005(2)(a)(1) through (12), F.A.C. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 1. 1.6 outlines the environmental review criteria for oil extraction and related processing, where oil extraction and related processing is an allowable use in the County. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to include the effective date of the amendment. OBJECTIVE 1.2: Maintain the framework for an integrated, computer -based environmental resources data storage, analysis, and graphics system and annually update the databases based on previous year's analytical data in order to monitor the status of the County's natural resources and propose potential protection measures when appropriate. Objective Achievement Anal The Collier County Environmental Planning Section maintains a robust, GIS -based system (ESRI's ArcGIS) that will be updated annually. This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. [Environmental Advisory Council (LAC) Comment from the August 11 2010 Workshy - Suggesting that the Objective address /include provisions for quality of data, analysis of data, and availability of data; and, the Environmental Planning Section maintain copies of,, and an index to, analyses performed on these GIS -based data. j [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearing Staff Comment - No change to this Policy is recommended. The computer -based environmental resources data is stored with the Division's GIS data. This makes the data most available to other county staff. Data quality details are stored as metadata files when they are provided by the data source. Published GIS data are required to include metadata files. Almost all county data are public records and available, there is no need for the 3 CONSERVATIONAND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT 9 �► environmental planning section to maintain copies. A log of environmental analysis will be started and stored with the environmental GIS data.] Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Comment from the January 31, 2011 Adoption Hearing - Concurs with the post EAC and CCPC Workshop and Adoption Hearings staff comments.] Policy Relevance Policy 1.2.3: Collected and/or compiled data will be organized by established water -shed and sub -basin units. Policy Achievement Analysis: Most of this data is in GIS format, so there is no need or benefit to organize it by watershed. The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be modified to require watershed dependent data only be organized by watershed and sub -basin units. [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop - Suggesting that text be added to the Policy that ensures data quality.] [Planning Commission Comment from the August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop - Suggesting that the Policy be revised to read, "Non GIS -based data collected will be organized by established watershed and sub -basin units. V [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings - Staff Comment - Staff concurs with the CCPC recommendation that the Policy be revised for clarity. However, staff does not concur with the EAC's recommendation, as "data quality " is addressed in preceding Policies.] %Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Comment from the January 31, 2011 Adoption Hearing — Concurs with the post EAC and CCPC Workshop and Adoption Hearings staff comments.] Policy 1.2.5 Collier County's computerized environmental resources data storage, analysis and graphics system shall share information and resources with other Federal, State, Regional, local and private environmental management agencies and organizations and the general public. The County shall cooperate with these other entities when updating its system in order that the benefits of the updated system may be shared with all appropriate agencies and organizations. Policy Achievement Analysis: Provisions for working cooperatively with other agencies and sharing data with the public are in the preceding policies. This Policy is no longer relevant and should be deleted. OBJECTIVE 1.3: Pursuant to Administration Commission Final Order AC -99 -002 dated June 22, 1999, the County has completed the phased delineation, data gathering, management guidelines and implementation of the Natural Resources Protection Area (NRPA) program as part of the required Collier County Rural and Agricultural Assessment. Through this Assessment, the County has determined that the NRPA program is not the only mechanism to protect 4 CONSER VATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT significant environmental systems. Accordingly, within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay in the Future Land Use Element, the County has delineated Stewardship Sending Areas that will function to protect large environmental systems. Pursuant to the following policies, the County shall protect identified environmental systems through the NRPA and Rural Lands Stewardship programs. Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be rewritten for clarity (i.e_ formatting). Policy Relevance: Policy 1.3.1: The purpose of the NRPA program is to direct incompatible land uses away from significant environmental systems that exist at a landscape scale, contain large systems of connected wetland and upland habitats, and support a wide variety of listed species. The program will include the following: a. Identification of the NRPAs in map form as an overlay to the Future Land Use Map; During the Assessment for the Rural Fringe area, the County has determined that CREW Trust lands, Belle Meade, a portion of the Northern Belle Meade shall be identified as NRPAs. The County also has determined that the South Golden Gate Estates is a NPRA. The specific boundaries have been identified as NRPAs on the Future Land Use Map. b. A process for verifying the existence and boundaries of NRPAs during development permit applications; c. Guidelines and standards for development of NRPAs including conservation guidelines to protect natural resource values, to maintain ecologically functioning systems, and to restore or mitigate NRPAs already degraded. Allowable land uses, vegetation preservation standards, development standards, and listed species protection criteria for the NRPAs are those contained in the NRPA Overlay within the Future Land Use Element. d. A review process, integrated into the normal development application review, to ensure that the guidelines and standards are being met; e. A program to defer development of NRPAs. First consideration should be fee simple purchase (based on public referenda approving and funding purchases). Other options should include, but not be limited to, tax incentives and transfer of development rights; f. A program to pursue Delegation of Authority Agreements with State and Federal Permitting agencies for local regulation of activities that may alter the biological and physical characteristics of NRPAs; g. The County shall seek assistance from and support State (e.g. CARL, SOR) or Federal land acquisition programs for County areas qualifying as NRPAs. Policy Achievement Analysis: The County established Natural Resource Protection Areas (NRPAs) to direct incompatible land uses away from significant environmental systems that exist at a landscape scale, contain large systems of connected wetland and upland habitats, and support a wide variety of listed species. The Policy also provides information regarding the relationship of the NRPAs to the Rural and Agricultural Area Assessment. Finally, the Policy requires the County to seek assistive from, and support, state and/or federal land acquisition programs for areas qualifying as NRPAs; Conservation Collier identifies nominated properties within Federal and State acquisition areas and coordinates with the agencies to make them aware of willing sellers within their acquisition areas. 5 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting to delete the acronym "CARL " and insert "Florida Forever "; and spell -out the acronym, "SOR " Save Our Rivers.] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings - Staff Comment - Staff generally agrees with the EAC's recommendation, and suggests that the Policy be revised to read, "The County shall seek assistance from, and support, State and/or Federal land acquisition programs for County areas qualifying as NRPAs. ' J [Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Comment from the January 31, 2011 Adoption Hearing - Concurs with the post EAC and CCPC Workshop and Adoption Hearings staff comments.] Policy 1.3:4: Guided by the Technical Advisory Committee, designate and adopt management guidelines and performance standards for County natural resource protection areas. Implementation shall occur on an annual basis as NRPAs and their implementation criteria are developed. Policy Achievement Analysis: The Policy objectives have been achieved as part of the Growth Management Plan amendments to satisfy the Final Order. This Policy is no longer relevant and should be deleted. OBJECTIVE 2.1: By January 2008, the County shall complete the prioritization and begin the process of preparing Watershed Management Plans, which contain appropriate mechanisms to protect the County's estuarine and wetland systems. The process shall consist of (1) an evaluation of areas for which Watershed Management Plans are not necessary based on current or past watershed management planning efforts, (2) an assessment of available data and information that can be used -in the development of Watershed Management Plans, and (3) budget authorization to begin preparation of the first Watershed Management Plan by January 2008. A funding schedule shall be established to ensure that all Watershed Management Plans will be completed by 2010. In selecting the order of Plan completion, the County shall give priority to watersheds where the development growth potential is greatest and will impact the greatest amount of wetland and listed species habitats. The schedule and priorities shall also be coordinated with the Federal and State agency plans that address Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). Until the Watershed Management Plans are completed, the County shall apply the following as interim standards for development: a. All new development and re -development projects shall meet 150% of the water quality volumetric requirements of Section 5.2.1(a) of the Basis of Review for Environmental Resource Permit Applications Within the South Florida Water Management District (February 2006) and the retention and detention requirements, and the allowable offsite discharge rates required by Drainage Sub - element Policy 6.2 and 6.3, respectively; b. Loss of storage or conveyance volume resulting from direct impacts to wetlands shall be compensated for by providing an equal amount of storage or conveyance capacity on site and within or adjacent to the impacted wetland. C. Floodplain storage compensation shall be evaluated for developments within the designated flood zones "A ", "AE ", and "VE" as depicted on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency with an effective date 6 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT of November 17, 2005. Fioodplain storage compensation shall also be evaluated for areas known to be periodically inundated by intense rainfall or sheetflow conditions. d. All development located within areas identified on Figure 1 shall be evaluated to determine impacts to natural wetlands, flowways, or sloughs. For this particular evaluation, natural wetlands, flowways, or sloughs shall be tentatively identified as contiguous lands having a continual preponderance of wetland or wet facultative plant species and a ground elevation through the major portion of the natural wetland, flowway, or slough at least one (1) foot lower than the ground at the edge of the natural wetland, flowway, or slough. The edge of the natural wetlands, flowways, or sloughs shall be identified by field determination and based upon vegetation and elevation differences from the adjacent uplands or transitional wetlands. The County shall require the applicant to avoid direct impacts to these natural wetlands, flowways, or sloughs or, when not possible, to ensure any direct impact is minimized and compensated for by providing the same conveyance capacity lost by the direct impact The County shall adhere to the limiting discharge rates of each basin as outlined in Ordinance 2001 -27, adopted May 22, 2001 which amended the County Water Management Policy and provided basin delineations where special peak discharge rates have been established. The limiting discharge rates will be reviewed as a part of the Watershed Management Plans, and modified according to the analyses and findings of the Watershed Management Plans. e. All new development and re- development projects shall ensure surrounding properties will not be adversely impacted from the project's influence on stormwater sheet flow. f. Prior to the issuance of a final development order, the County shall require all development projects to obtain the necessary state and federal environmental permits. g. Within one year of the effective date of these amendments, the County shall adopt land development regulations to require Best Management Practices of future development or re- development projects. Best Management Practices means structural and non - structural facilities or practices intended to reduce pollution either through source control or treatment of stormwater. Figure 1. Restoration Project Areas Where Interim Development Standard 2.1.d is Applicable [See Figure 1 following CCME text] Obiective Achievement Analvsis: Collier County is currently involved in the development of the Watershed Management Plans. The County completed the initial delineation and prioritization of the watersheds by the end of November 2007. Dedicated funding for development of the Watershed Management Plans was also obtained and set aside in 2007. The County coordinated with the Florida Department of Emergency Management coastal Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) aerial topographic mapping effort to obtain more detailed and expanded coverage of the County. The County also coordinated with the South Florida Water Management District to utilize their existing two - dimensional regional hydrologic and hydraulic model for southwest Florida as a starting tool in the development of the Watershed Management Plans. The County utilized the various policies under CCME Objective 2.1 to form the basis for the Scope of Services and then hired a consultant team to prepare the Watershed Management Plans. The work is in progress and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2010. This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be modified to reflect completed work, and the first sentence in (c) reworded as follows, "Fioodplain storage compensation shall be evaluated for developments within the designated Special Flood Hazard Area (flood zones starting with the letter "V" or "A ") as depicted on the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency." 7 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT [Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 3115110): Public stated that the County has not developed a county -wide stormwater plan.] [Public Comment (Communi Meeting held on 3115110): Public stated that all development in the urban zones and outside should be considered and evaluated after each watershed and its characteristics are developed.] [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting to add in section b. of the Objective, a requirement that compensation for all wetland impacts occur within the same drainage area.] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings — Staff Comment — No change is recommended to this Objective as part of the EAR -based amendments, as wetland impacts will be addressed as part of the Watershed Management Plans. Further, mitigation requirements for wetland impacts will be determined by the BCC with the adoption of the Watershed Management Plans.] [Board o f County Commissioners (BCC) Comment from the January 31, 2011 Adoption Hearing — Concurs with the post EAC and CCPC Workshop and Adoption Hearings staff comments.] Policy Relevance Policy 2.1.3: The Plans will also evaluate structural and non - structural controls for restoring historical hydroperiods in impacted watersheds where possible and for reducing the impacts of canal and stormwater discharges to estuaries. Policy Achievement Analysis: The Scope of Services for development of the Watershed Management Plans includes this policy's features. The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting that measurement tools be added to the Policy so as to determine improvements to the watersheds over time.] [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the November 3, 2010 Adoption Hearing - Suggesting that the EAC comment from August 11, 2010 be revised to read, "measurement tools be added to the Policyfor determining improvements to the watersheds over time. '] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings - Staff Comment - No change to the Policy is recommended at this time. The Watershed Management Plans include performance measures, and the need for future evaluation of improvements will be addressed when Plans are adopted.] [Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Comment from the January 31, 2011 Adoption Hearing - Concurs with the post EAC and CCPC Workshop and Adoption Hearings staff comments.] Policy 2.1.6: Until the completion and adoption of individual watershed management plans, promote water management permitting on a basin by basin approach. 8 CONSERVATIONAND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT P_: Policy chievement Analysis: 9 B y v Water management permitting is regulated by the South Florida Water Management District. The Policy is not relevant and should be deleted, as water management permitting is regulated by the SFWMD. [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting that data shortfalls be addressed.] [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the November 3, 2010 Adoption Hearing — Suggesting that EAC comment from August 11, 2010 be revised to read, "use watershed management plans for ongoing data collection guidance.

The County will take the lead and oversee the preparation of the necessary watershed management plans, and will rely upon the work performed or data collected by other agencies, to the extent that these agencies have data and /or experience, which may be useful within the watershed basin planning and management process. Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy describes the Scope of Services for the development of the Watershed Management Plans. The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be modified to reflect work completed and that the listed activities are on- going. OBJECTIVE 2.2: All canals, rivers, and flow ways discharging into estuaries shall meet all applicable Federal, State, or local water quality standards. Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective has not been met, because there are several water bodies in Collier County that do not meet Federal or State water quality standards. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency have finalized the list of those water bodies that do not meet water quality standards, and in 2008 FDEP developed Total Maximum Daily Loads for these water bodies. The Watershed Management Plans being developed by Collier County will address these water bodies. Water quality improvement initiatives have been taken within Collier County to address some water quality issues. A new water quality treatment system referred to as Freedom Park has been constructed to treat the water within the Gordon River. In addition the Lake Trafford dredging project, which is 9 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT currently ongoing, has been removing the muck on the bottom of the lake in or er Bto improve the lake's water quality and prevent future fish kills. Collier County Pollution Control continues to implement numerous proactive programs designed to protect the County's surface water quality from man -made pollution sources. However, due to natural conditions impacting the water quality found in Collier County, some federal and state water quality conditions may not be achievable. Therefore, Collier County will continue to take all necessary actions to maintain the highest attainable level of surface water quality within its watersheds. This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be reworded similar to Goal 3 to read, "to attain the highest water quality practical." [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting staff examine the use of filter ponds to improve water quality of canals.] [Planning Commission Comment from the August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the Objective be retained as written.] [Recommendation from the October 14, 2010 South Florida Water Manazement District Comments to the Department of Community Affairs on the Proposed EAR — Suggesting that the Objective be retained as written.] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings — Staff Comment — Staff concurs with the stated recommendations that the Objective should be retained as written.] Policy Relevance: s# Policy 2.2.1: Wastewater treatment plants shall not be allowed to discharge directly to rivers, canals or jurisdictional wetlands unless they meet Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) regulations and are not in violation of other Goals, Objectives and Policies of this Element Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 2.2.1 bans wastewater treatment plants from discharging directly into rivers, canals or jurisdictional wetlands unless they meet Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) regulations and are not in violation of other Goals, Objectives, and Policies of this Element. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting to insert the phrase, "encourage wastewater re -use for irrigation " within the Policy.] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings — Staff Comment —Staff recommends retaining the Policy as written, as the reference to "re -use " is not applicable to this Policy. Further, staff suggests an additional Policy be added within the CCME to address the E,4 Cs recommendation, if Board directed.] [Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Comment from the January 31, 2011 Adoption Hearing — Concurs with the post EAC and CCPC Workshop and Adoption Hearings staff comments.] 10 CONSER VATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT Policy Achievement Anal R 9 Policy 2.2.2: In order to limit the specific and cumulative impacts of stormwater run -off, stormwater systems should be designed in such a way that discharged water does not degrade receiving waters and an attempt is made to enhance the timing, quantity and quality of fresh water to the estuarine system. Non - structural methods such as discharge and storage in wetlands are encouraged. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 2.2.2 limits the specific and cumulative impacts of stormwater run -off. The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to delete the word "in" and with the word "into' in the last sentence. [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting staff limit nitrogen and phosphorous use through a fertilizer ordinance, so these nutrients become less likely to reach waterways (seasonal uses, granular forms, no application near storm drains or water retention/flow areas). Also, limit application ofpesticides in a similar fashion.] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings — Staff Comment — The adoption of a fertilizer ordinance is required by Chapter 403.9337, Florida Statutes, and will be part of the Watershed Management Plans.] Policy 2.2.3: Chemical spraying for aquatic weed control should be conducted with extreme caution. The use of appropriate biological and mechanical (use of harvesting equipment to remove vegetation) controls in both the canal system and stormwater detention ponds is encouraged. Manufacturers and EPA guidelines for chemical use in aquatic habitat will be followed. Policy Achievement Anal Policy 2.2.3 requires that chemical spraying for aquatic weed control should be .conducted with extreme caution and encourages the use of biological and mechanical controls. The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11 2010 Workshop — Suggesting staff develop an ordinance or LDC guidelines for the application of weed control.] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings — Staff Comment — Aquatic plant control is necessary to keep the canal systems flow capacity adequate to prevent flooding. Maintenance activities are regulated by State licensing and Federal label requirements. Operational policies will be discussed in the Watershed Management Plans.] Policy 2.2.4: Continue and expand when needed the existing water quality monitoring program for sampling canals and rivers and assess the data annually. 11 CONSERVATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT GL Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 2.2.4 requires the continuation and expansion of the County's water quality sampling program. Collier County Pollution Control Department (CCPCD) continues monitoring a fixed network of surface water stations throughout the county. The network is evaluated every 3 years to determine the relevancy of the sampling sites. If water quality problems are found that may impact public health, a very intensive study area (VISA) is initiated to determine the source of the water quality problems. The surface water quality data were assessed in 2007 by CCPCD; in 2008 by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection under the Impaired Waters Rule Assessment; and will be reassessed in 2010 by CCPCD. The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting staff use analysis of existing data to drive new data collection.] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings — Staff Comment —The Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written.] [Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Comment from the January 31 2011 Adoption Hearing — Concurs with the post EAC and CCPC Workshop and Adoption Hearings staff comments.] Policy 2.2.5: By December 31, 2008, and no less than every three years, stormwater management systems shall be inspected and certified by a licensed Florida professional engineer for compliance with their approved design, and any deficiencies shall be corrected. Policy Achievement Analysis: The deadline for Policy 2.2.5 has not been met, and the County has not identified stormwater management systems that are not currently meeting State water quality treatment standards. The County is developing a process for stormwater management systems, which is expected to be completed by December 2015. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to reflect an extended deadline to December 2015; and include a requirement to coordinate activities with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and FDEP. [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting to add benchmarks within the Policy for the achievement of the stated objectives by year 2015.] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings — Staff Comment — No change to the Policy is recommended at this time. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has been working on an update to the statewide stormwater Rule that includes system inspections. The County is following the development of this Rule and will wait to review the standards in the Rule prior to adopting a local ordinance.] [Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Comment from the January 31, 2011 Adoption He — Concurs with the post EAC and CCPC Workshop and Adoption Hearings staff comments.] OBJECTIVE 2.3: All estuaries shall meet all applicable federal, state and local water quality standards. 12 CONSER VATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT Obiective Achievement Analysis: This Objective has not been met. Not all estuaries meet Federal or State water quality standards. The Watershed Management Plans developed by the County will address measures to bring these water bodies into compliance with State and Federal water quality standards. Currently, the County monitors its water quality through the collection and evaluation of ground water and surface water samples. This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be revised to include the development of a plan, in coordination with the FDEP, to meet applicable federal, state and local water quality standards. (Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting that staff consider monitoring locations.] [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop —Suggesting that the Objective be retained as written.] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings — Staff Comment —Staff recommends retaining the Objective as written.] Policy Relevance: Policy 2.3.4: Continue to implement and refine a water quality and sediment monitoring program for the estuarine system. Policy Achievement Analysis: The Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Department implemented a water quality monitoring program in October of 2008. A water quality monitoring plan was written and approved. The Monitoring Plan follows FDEP's Standard Operating Procedures and the Pollution Control Department's Lab Procedures. Water quality sampling has been conducted in Cocohatchee Estuary for over a year, a draft report of the data has been written. Also, water quality sampling started in November of 2009 in Clam Bay. CZM is currently sampling the Cocohatchee and Clam Bay on a monthly basis. Master plans will be developed with stakeholders as data and regulations are developed. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment om August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting that staff use the Watershed Management Plan effort to evaluate sampling points. Also, suggesting need for a fertilizer ordinance to reduce discharges of nutrients into waterways.] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings — Staff Comment — Staff recommends retaining the Policy as written. A fertilizer ordinance is required by State statute and will be part of the Watershed Management Plans.] Policy 2.3.6: The County will only allow development activities which will not adversely impact coastal water resources. This is implemented through the following mechanisms: a. Require all applicable Federal and State permits addressing water quality to be submitted to Collier County before Collier County issues a Final Development Order. 13 CONSER VATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT b. Excluding single family homes, any project impacting 5 acres or more of wetlands must provide a pre and post development water quality analysis to demonstrate no increase in nutrient, biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, lead, zinc and copper loading in the post development scenario. C. By January 2008, the County shall undertake an assessment of the current model used to evaluate pre and post development pollutant loadings referenced in (b) of this Policy. At a minimum, the purpose of this assessment will be to verify the accuracy of the model and to provide data evaluating stormwater management structure design. In reviewing the accuracy of the model, the County will include an evaluation of the reduction of lake depths with time and the corresponding loss of retention volume, the impact of lake stratification, and the need for aeration. The assessment will also include the sampling of runoff from undisturbed sites and from permitted stormwater outfalls for the parameters listed in Paragraph (b) of this Policy and pesticides. The results of the assessment and recommendations regarding the pollutant loading analysis, revisions to current model methodology, potential regulatory restrictions, and further monitoring shall be presented to the Board of County Commissioners for further direction. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 2.3.6 requires the County to only allow development activities which will not adversely impact coastal water resources. This is to be implemented by 1) requiring applicable Federal and State permits addressing water quality to be submitted to Collier County before Collier County issues a Final Development Order, 2) require projects, excluding single family homes, impacting 5 acres or more of wetlands to provide a pre and post development water quality analysis to demonstrate no increase in nutrient, biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, lead, zinc and copper loading in the post development scenario and 3) undertake an assessment of the current model used to evaluate these pre and post development pollutant loadings. Regarding, a pre - development vs. post- development analysis for nutrients, BOD, TSS, Pb, Zn, and Cu, LDC section 10.02.02 A.3.a.ii indicates that the analysis shall be performed using "approved methodologies" and only requires the analysis on nutrients. The methodology that has been used by the US Army Corps of Engineers and is being developed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection is limited to nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus). The original state stormwater regulations were based on a standard of 80 % removal of TSS. Current evaluations of Florida stormwater regulation indicate the design needs to address increasing concentrations of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) in surface and ground water. Additionally other significant pollutants are more easily removed than nitrogen or phosphorus (Harper, 2007). The draft permitting handbook for the update of the state stormwater rule includes analysis only for nitrogen and phosphorus loadings (FDEP, 2009). In the new model the pre development conditions are now considered to be the conditions represented by the SWFFS Natural Systems Model. (This analysis model is very similar to that proposed in Evaluation of Alternative Stormwater Regulations for Southwest Florida, 2003)." The model proposed in the new stormwater rule is the preferred analysis, by staff. The FDEP evaluation of the stormwater rules in preparation of development of the proposed state -wide stormwater rule addressed the issues identified in section c. Harper (2007) indicates that in wet detention systems, nutrient treatment is primarily through the production of algae. He recommends that only the top 12 feet of un -mixed systems be considered in the water quality treatment requirement. (Deeper depths are recognized as storage of solids and treatment for other constituents.) This is also the recommendation of the "Applicant's Handbook" for the proposed rule. The choice of whether to aerate /mix wet detention systems or not is left to the applicant, but the treatment is only based on the 14 CONSER VATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT l 14 9B aerated portion. Additionally, the monitoring of solids accumulation to identify when impacts to treatment volume is required annually. FDEP also studied runoff from native vegetative communities (Harper 2009) and reported runoff characteristics for nutrients and metals. Due to the change in emphasis of state regulatory programs limiting the loading analysis to nutrients and the studies that have been produced by FDEP to support the proposed stormwater rule, Collier County recommends removing the requirement for TSS, BOD, Pb, Zn, and Cu from the Policy in section b, and delete section c.

Ground water quality shall be monitored in order to determine whether development activities 16 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT are contributing to the degradation of Collier County's ground water quality. Ground water data and land use activities will be assessed annually to determine long -term trends and whether the County is meeting Federal and State regulatory standards for ground water quality. The County shall require ground water monitoring of land uses in accordance with Chapters 62 -520, 62 -550 and 62 -777 of the Florida Administrative Code. Upon the detection of any ground water degradation determined through the monitoring process, the County will notify the appropriate regulatory agencies. In a coordinated effort with the United States Geological Survey (USGS), or of its own accord, the County shall institute a groundwater monitoring network by 2008, including the comprehensive inventory of monitoring wells, an assessment of monitoring wells previously damaged, and policies to make appropriate well repairs and replacements. Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County continues to implement numerous proactive programs designed to protect the County's ground water quality from man -made pollution sources. However, due to natural conditions impacting the water quality found in Collier County, some federal and state water quality conditions may not be achievable. Suggest Objective be worded similar to goal to "ensure highest water quality practical ". A groundwater monitoring network was established by the County's Pollution Control Department in 2006. This monitoring network monitors seventy (70) ground water monitoring wells semiannually; dry and wet season. These wells provide limited monitoring of the following land uses; agriculture, commercial, golf course, park, rural residential, urban residential, utilities and wetland. Groundwater quality is assessed annually and provided to the appropriate regulatory agencies for further investigation of exceedances of State and Federal ground water quality standards. This network of monitoring wells encompasses wells owned by USGS, City of Naples, Collier County Wastewater Department and Collier County Water Department. Any monitoring well repairs or replacements would be done at the owner's discretion. In addition, Section 3.06 of the County's Land Development Code (Ground Water Protection) was developed to protect existing and future wellfields, protect natural aquifer system recharge areas, protect Countywide groundwater resources, and to protect the public health and resources through regulation and establishment of standards for development involving the use, storage, generation, handling, and disposal of quantities of hazardous products and hazardous waste in excess of identified quantities, disposal of sewage and effluent, storm water management, earth mining, petroleum exploration, solid waste, and other related aspects of land use and development. Since a groundwater monitoring network was established in 2006, suggest Objective 3.1 be revised to replace the second paragraph with "The County shall continue to institute a groundwater monitoring network." This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be revised to reflect the establishment of the monitoring network in 2006; include in first sentence of Objective the phrase, "to ensure highest water quality practical "; and, include a reference that monitoring activities are ongoing.

However, the Policy should be revised to reflect the current departmental reference. OBJECTIVE 6.1: The County shall protect native vegetative communities through the application of minimum preservation requirements. The following policies provide criteria to .make this objective measurable. These policies shall apply to all of Collier County except for that portion of the County which is identified on the Countywide Future Land Use Map (FLUM) as the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay. [This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed] Policy Relevance: Policy 6.1.1: For the County's Urban Designated Area, Estates Designated Area, Conservation Designated Area, and Agricultural/Rural Mixed Use District, Rural- Industrial District and Rural- Settlement Area District as designated on the FLUM, native vegetation shall be preserved through the application of the following preservation and vegetation retention standards and criteria, unless the development occurs within the Area of Critical State Concern (ACSC) where the ACSC standards referenced in the Future Land Use Element shall apply. Notwithstanding the ACSC requirements, this policy shall apply to all non - agricultural development except for single- family dwelling units situated on individual parcels that are not located within a watershed management conservation area identified in a Watershed Management Plan developed pursuant to policies supporting Objective 2.1 of this Element. 22 CONSER VATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT Coastal High Hazard Area Non - Coastal High Hazard Area Less than 2.5 acres 10% Less than 5 acres. 10% Residential and Mixed Equal to or greater Equal to or greater than 5 Use Development than 2.5 acres 25% acres and less than 20 acres. 15% Equal to or greater than 20 ac. 25% Golf Course 35% 35% Commercial and Less than 5 acres. 10% Less than 5 acres. 10% Industrial Development Equal to or greater Equal to or than 5 acres. 15% greater than 5 acres. 15% Industrial Development (Rural- 50 %, not to exceed 25% of 50 %, not to exceed 25% of the Industrial District only) the project site. project site. 22 CONSER VATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT The following standards and criteria shall apply to the vegetation retention requirements referenced above. (1) For the purpose of this policy, "native vegetation" is defined as a vegetative community having 25% or more canopy coverage or highest existing vegetative strata of native plant species. The vegetation retention requirements specified in this policy are calculated based on the amount of "native vegetation" that conforms to this definition. (2) The preservation of native vegetation shall include canopy, under -story and ground cover emphasizing the largest contiguous area possible, which may include connection to offsite preserves. The purpose for identifying the largest contiguous area is to provide for a core area that has the greatest potential for wildlife habitat by reducing the interface between the preserve area and development which decreases the conflicts from other land uses. Criteria for determining the dimensional standards of the preserve are to be set out in the Land Development Code. (3) Areas that fulfill the native vegetation retention standards and criteria of this policy shall be set aside as preserve areas. On -site and off -site preserve areas shall be protected by a permanent conservation mechanism to prohibit further development, consistent with the requirements of this policy. The type of permanent conservation mechanism, including conservation easements, required for a specific development may vary based on preserve area size, type of development approval, and other factors, as set forth in the County's land development regulations. (4) Selection of native vegetation to be retained as preserve areas shall reflect the following criteria in descending order of priority: a. Wetland or upland areas known to be utilized by listed species or that serve as corridors for the movement of wildlife shall be preserved and protected in order to facilitate the continued use of the site by listed species or the movement through the site, consistent with the requirements of Policy 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 of this element. b. Xeric Scrub, Dune and Strand, Hardwood Hammocks. c. Onsite wetlands having functionality scores of at least 0.65 WRAP or 0.7 UMAM, unless permitted for impact pursuant to Policy 6.2.4 of this Element. WRAP means South Florida Water Management District's Wetland Rapid Assessment Procedures as described in Technical Publication Reg 001 (September 1997, as updated August 19,99). UMAM means Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method as described in Chapter 62 -345, F.A.C. d. Any upland habitat that serves as a buffer to a wetland area as identified in Paragraph (4)c. above, e. Dry Prairie, Pine Flatwoods, and f. All other native habitats. (5) The uses allowable within preserve areas are limited to: a. Passive recreational uses that do not impact the minimum required vegetation or cause a loss of function to the preserve area. Loss of function to the preserve area includes a reduction or a change in vegetation within the preserve and harming any listed species present in the preserve. More specific standards that implement this policy shall be set forth in the land development regulations and will address various types of construction that are compatible with the function of the preserve. The land development regulations will also provide criteria to define appropriate passive recreational uses. The criteria will be established to allow for passive recreational uses such as trails or boardwalks that provide for access within the preserves, providing the uses do not reduce the minimum required vegetation or cause harm to listed species. b. Receipt of treated stormwater discharge where such use, including conveyance, treatment and discharge structures, does not result in adverse impacts the naturally occurring, native vegetation, to include the loss of the minimum required vegetation 23 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT and the harm to any listed species acco r d 9 B ing to the polices associated with Objective 7.1, as determined by criteria set forth in land development regulations. Discharge to preserves having wetlands requires treatment that will meet water quality standards as set forth in Chapter 62 -302. F.A.C. and will conform to the water quality criteria requirements set forth by the South Florida Water Management District (6) A management plan shall be submitted for preserve areas identified by specific criteria in the land development regulations to identify actions that must be taken to ensure that the preserved areas will maintain natural diversity and will function as proposed. The plan shall include methods to address control and treatment of invasive exotic species, fire management, stormwater management (if applicable), and maintenance of permitted facilities. If applicable, a listed species monitoring program shall be submitted pursuant to Policy 7.1.2 (2) (Q. State and federal management plans consistent with the requirements of the LDC will be accepted. (7) Until the land development regulations addressed in Policy 6.1.1(11) are developed, exceptions, by means of mitigation in the form of increased landscape requirements shall be granted for parcels that cannot reasonably accommodate both the preservation area and the proposed activity. Criteria for allowing these exceptions include: (a) Where site elevations or conditions requires placement of fill thereby harming or reducing the survivability of the native vegetation in its existing locations; (b) Where the existing vegetation required by this policy is located where proposed site improvements are to be located and such improvements cannot be relocated as to protect the existing native vegetation; (c) Where native preservation requirements are not accommodated, the landscape plan shall re- create a native plant community in all three strata (ground covers, shrubs and trees), utilizing larger plant materials so as to more quickly re- create the lost nature vegetation. (8) Parcels that were legally cleared of native vegetation prior to January 1989 shall be exempt from this requirement. (9) Should the amount of wetland vegetation exceed the minimum vegetation requirements as specified herein, retention of wetland vegetation having significant habitat or hydrologic value is encouraged. Increased preservation shall be fostered thro incentives including, but not limited to: clustered development, reduced developn standards such as open space, setbacks, and landscape buffers, to allow for increased areas of preserved wetland vegetation. Significant habitat or hydrologic value is determined by wetland function, not the size of the wetland. (10) Within one year of the effective date of these amendments, the County shall adopt land development regulations that allow for a process whereby a property owner may submit a petition requesting that all or a portion of the native vegetation preservation retention requirement to be satisfied by a monetary payment, land donation that contains native vegetative communities equal to or of a higher priority as described in Policy 6.1.1 (4) than the land being impacted, or other appropriate method of compensation to an acceptable land acquisition program, as required by the land development regulations. The monetary payment shall be used to purchase and manage native vegetative communities off -site. The land development regulations shall provide criteria to determine when this alternative will be considered. The criteria will be based upon the following provisions: a. The amount, type, rarity and quality of the native vegetation on site; b. The presence of conservation lands adjoining the site; c. The presence of listed species and consideration of Federal and State agency technical assistance; d. The type of land use proposed, such as, but not limited to, affordable housing; 24 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT e. The size of the preserve required to remain on site is too small to ensure that the preserve can remain functional; and f. Right of Way acquisitions for all purposes necessary for roadway construction, including ancillary drainage facilities, and including utilities within the right of way acquisition area. The land development regulations shall include a methodology to establish the monetary value, land donation, or other appropriate method of compensation to ensure that native vegetative communities not preserved on -site will be preserved and appropriately managed off -site. (11) Right of Way acquisitions by any governmental entity for all purposes necessary for roadway construction, including ancillary drainage facilities, and including utilities within the right of way acquisition area, shall be exempt from mitigation requirements. (12) Although the primary intent of this Policy is to retain and protect existing native vegetation, there are situations where the application of the retention requirements of this Policy is not possible. In these cases, creation or restoration of vegetation to satisfy all or a portion of the native vegetation retention requirements may be allowed. Within one year of the effective date of these amendments, the County shall adopt land development regulations to determine the circumstances for when creation or restoration is allowed and to specify criteria for creation and restoration. (13) The County may grant a deviation to the native vegetation retention requirements of this Policy, except for the Native Vegetation Retention Requirements Table, and provisions in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7. Within one year of the effective date of these amendments, the County shall adopt land development regulations to set forth the process for obtaining a deviation. The regulations shall allow for the granting of a deviation by the appropriate review board after a public hearing, and for the granting of a deviation administratively. The County shall consider the amount and type of native vegetation and the presence of listed species in determining whether the granting of a deviation requires a public hearing, or may be granted administratively. The County may grant a deviation if: a. County, Federal or State agencies require that site improvements be located in areas . which result in an inability to meet the provisions of this Policy, or b. On or off -site environmental conditions are such that the application of one or more provisions of this Policy is not possible or will result in a preserve area of lesser quality, or c. The strict adherence to these provisions will not allow for the implementation of other Plan policies that encourage beneficial land uses. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 6.1.1 specifies that it is applicable to the County's Urban Designated Area, Estates Designated Area, Conservation Designated Area, and Agricultural/Rural Mixed Use District, Rural - Industrial District and Rural - Settlement Area District as designated on the FLUM, and that native vegetation shall be preserved through the application of a series of preservation and vegetation retention standards and criteria, unless the development occurs within the Area of Critical State Concern (ACSC) where the ACSC standards referenced in the Future Land Use Element shall apply. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be modified to: reevaluate the scrivener's errors in subsections 6.1.1 (7 & 13); delete subsection 6.1.1 (7), since it is already addressed by Policy 6.1.1 (12); and add an exemption from the native vegetation retention requirements for Federal and State parks, preserves and forests whose purpose is to manage land for conservation. 25 CONSERVATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT 9B [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting that staff insert within (S) b. the word, "acreage " after the phrase "...loss of the minimum required vegetation ...

Receiving Lands: A minimum of 40% of the native vegetation present, not to exceed 25% of the total site area shall be preserved. b. Neutral Lands: A minimum of 60% of the native vegetation present, not to exceed 45% of the total site area shall be preserved, except that for Section 24, Township 49 South, Range 26 East, located in the North Belle Meade Overlay, a minimum of 70% of the native vegetation present, not to exceed 70% of the total site area, shall be preserved. Additionally, for residential development in Section 24, if the dwelling units are not clustered, a minimum of 90% of the slash pine trees present shall be retained. Further restrictions are identified in the North Belle Meade Overlay in the FLUE. [The preceding 2 sentences in italics were adopted 1/25/07 but will NOT be applied or implemented by Collier County. They relate to text in the Future Land Use Element's North Belle Meade Overlay that was found to be "not in compliance" by the Florida Department of Community Affairs in letter dated 5/1107.] c. Non -NRPA Sending Lands: Calculated at the higher value of 80% of the native vegetation present, or as may otherwise be permitted under the Density Rating provisions of the FLUE; d. NRPA Sending Lands: Calculated at the higher value of 90% of the native vegetation present, or as may otherwise be permitted under the Density Blending provisions of the FLUE. e. Provisions a. through d. above shall also be consistent with the wetland protection policies set forth under CCME Objective 6.2. f. In order to ensure reasonable use and to protect the private property rights of owners of smaller parcels of land within lands designated Rural Fringe Mixed Use District on the Future Land Use Map, including nonconforming lots of record which existed on or before June 22, 1999, for lots, parcels or fractional units of land or water equal to or 26 CONSER VATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT r . I less than five 5 acres in size native vegetation clearing shall o all be allo� () g g d, at 20 /o or 25,000 square feet of the lot or parcel or fractional unit, whichever is greater, exclusive of any clearing necessary to provide for a 15 -foot wide access drive up to 660 feet in length. For lots and parcels greater than 5 acres but less than 10 acres, up to 20% of the parcel may be cleared. This allowance shall not be considered a maximum clearing allowance where other provisions of this Plan allow for greater clearing amounts. These clearing limitations shall not prohibit the clearing of brush or under -story vegetation within 200 feet of structures in order to minimize wildfire fuel sources. g. Within Receiving and Neutral lands where schools and other public facilities are co- located on a site, the native vegetation retention requirement shall be 30% of the native vegetation present, not to exceed 25% of the site. (1) For the purpose of this policy, "native vegetation" is defined as a vegetative community having 25% or more canopy coverage or highest existing vegetative strata of native plant species. The vegetation retention requirements specified in this policy are calculated on the amount of "native vegetation" that conforms to this definition. (2) The preservation of native vegetation shall include canopy, under -story and ground cover, emphasizing the largest contiguous area possible, which may include connection to offsite preserves. The purpose for identifying the largest contiguous area is to provide for a core area that has the greatest potential for wildlife habitat by reducing the interface between the preserve area and development which decreases the conflicts from other land uses. Criteria for determining the dimensional standards of the preserve are to be set out in the Land Development Code. (3) Areas that fulfill the native vegetation retention standards and criteria of this policy shall be set aside as preserve areas. On -site and off -site preserve areas shall be protected by a permanent conservation mechanism to prohibit further development, consistent with the requirements of this policy. The type of conservation mechanism, including conservation easements, required for a speck development may vary based on preserve area size, type of development approval, and other factors, as set forth in the County's land development regulations. (4) Selection of native vegetation to be retained as preserve areas shall reflect the following criteria in descending order of priority: a. Wetland or upland areas known to be utilized by listed species or that serve as corridors for the movement of wildlife shall be preserved and protected in order to facilitate the continued use of the site by listed species or the movement of wildlife through the site. This criterion shall be consistent with the requirements of Policy 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 of this element. b. Xeric Scrub, Dune and Strand, Hardwood Hammocks. c. Onsite wetlands preserved pursuant to Policy 6.2.5 of this Element; d. Any upland habitat that serves as a buffer to a wetland area, as identified in (4)c. above. e. Dry Prairie, Pine Flatwoods, and f. All other native habitats. (5) The uses allowable within preserve areas are limited to: a. Passive recreational uses that do not impact the minimum required vegetation or cause a loss of function to the preserve area. Criteria identifying what constitutes a loss of function shall be set forth in the land development regulations and will address various types of construction that are compatible with the function of the preserve. The land development regulations will also provide criteria to define appropriate passive recreational uses. The criteria will be established to allow for passive recreational uses such as trails or boardwalks that provide for access within the preserves, providing the uses do not reduce the minimum required vegetation or cause harm to listed species. b. Receipt of treated stormwater discharge where such use, including conveyance, treatment and discharge structures, does not result in adverse impacts on the naturally occurring, native vegetation, to include the loss of the minimum required vegetation and the harm to any listed species according to the policies associated with Objective 7.1, as 27 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT determined by criteria set forth in the land development regulations. Discharge to preserves having wetlands requires treatment that will meet water quality standards as set forth in Chapter, 62-302 F.A.C. and will conform to the water quality criteria requirements set forth by the South Florida Water Management District. (6) A management plan shall be submitted for all preserve areas identified by specific criteria in the land development regulations to identify actions that must be taken to ensure that the preserved areas will function as proposed. The plan shall include methods to address control and treatment of invasive exotic species, fire management, stormwater management (if applicable), and maintenance of permitted facilities. If applicable, a listed species monitoring program shall be submitted pursuant to Policy 7.1.2 (2)(i). (7) Off -site preservation shall be allowed to provide flexibility in the project design. a. Within Receiving and Neutral Lands, off -site preservation shall be allowed for up to 50% of the vegetation retention requirement 1. Off -site preservation areas shall be allowed at a ratio of 1:1 if such off -site preservation is located within designated Sending Lands or at a ratio of 1.5:1 anywhere else. 2. Like for like preservation shall be required for Tropical Hardwood and Oak Hammock vegetative communities. b. Within non -NRPA Sending Lands, off -site preservation shall be allowed for up to 25% of the site preservation or vegetative retention requirement, whichever is controlling. 1. Off -site preservation areas shall be contiguous to designated Sending Lands and shall be allowed at a ratio of 3:1. c. Off -site preservation shall not be allowed in NRPA Sending Lands. (8) Density Bonus Incentives shall be granted to encourage preservation amounts greater than that required in this policy, as provided for in the FLUE for Receiving Lands and Rural Villages. Within one (1) year of the effective date of these amendments, Collier County shall adopt specific land development regulations to implement this incentive program. (9) On -site preservation areas shall also conform to the Open Space requirements as specified in the Future Land Use Element. These preservations shall be part of and counted towards the Open Space requirements. (10) Existing native vegetation that is located contiguous to the natural reservation shall be preserved pursuant to Policy 6.5.2 of this element Natural reservation is defined as that specified in CCME Objective 6.5 of this element; (11) Should the amount of wetland vegetation exceed the minimum vegetation requirements as specified herein, retention of wetland vegetation having significant habitat or hydrologic value is encouraged. Increased preservation shall be fostered through incentives including, but not limited to: clustered development, reduced development standards such as open space, setbacks, and landscape buffers, to allow for increased areas of preserved wetland vegetation. Significant habitat or hydrologic value is determined by wetland function, not the size of the wetland. Policy Achievement Anal Policy 6.1.2 specifies that within the County's Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, as designated on the FLUM, native vegetation shall be preserved on site through the application of various vegetation retention standards and criteria. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be modified to reflect the June 2010 Land Development Code amendments that implement specific subsections of the Policy; and, add an exemption from the native vegetation retention requirements for Federal and State parks, preserves and forests whose purpose is to manage land for conservation purposes. 28 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT 9B [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from the August 27 2010 EAR Workshop —Suggesting that the Policy be revised to clearly express the intent that Federal and State parks, preserves and forests shall comply with native vegetative retention requirements, but are not required to have a separate preserve onsite and a preserve management plan.] /Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the November 3 2010 Adoption Hearing The EAC is in agreement with the CCPC comment from the August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop.] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings — Staff Comment — Staff concurs with the EAC and CCPC recommendations.] Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Comment from the January 31 2011 Adoption Hearing — Staff shall evaluate for possible elimination of native vegetation retention requirements for Industrial designated properties under a certain acreage threshold.] Policy 6.1.6: Exemptions from the native vegetation retention requirements of CCME Policy 6.1.2 — The requirements of Policy 6.1.2 shall not apply to, affect or limit the continuation of existing uses. Existing use shall be defined as: those uses for which all required permits were issued prior to June 19, 2002; or, projects for which a Conditional Use or Rezone petition was approved by the County prior to June 19, 2002; or, land use petitions for which a completed application was submitted prior to June 19, 2002. The continuation of existing uses shall include expansions of those uses if such expansions are consistent with, or clearly ancillary to, the existing uses. Hereafter, such previously approved developments shall be deemed to be consistent with the Plan's Goals, Policies and Objectives for the Rural Fringe area, and they may be built out in accordance with their previously approved plans. Changes to these previous approvals shall also be deemed to be consistent with the Plan's Goals, Objectives and Policies for the Rural Fringe Area as long as they do not result in an increase in development density or intensity. On the County owned land located in Section 25, Township 26 E, Range 49 S (+/ -360 acres), the native vegetation retention and site preservation requirements may be reduced to 50% if the permitted uses are restricted to the portions of the property that are contiguous to the existing land fill operations; exotic removal will be required on the entire +/- 360 acres. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 6.1.6 makes all existing land uses exempt from the native vegetation retention requirements of CCME Policy 6.1.2 if the effected land uses were issued prior to June 19, 2002; or projects for which a Conditional use or Rezone petition has been approved by the County prior to June 19, 2002; or, land use petitions for which a completed application has been submitted prior to June 19, 2002.

These areas shall be verified by a jurisdictional field delineation, subject to Policy 6.2.2 of this element, at the time of project permitting to determine the exact location of jurisdictional wetland boundaries. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 6.2.1 requires that wetlands as identified by the 1994 -95 SFWMD land use and land cover inventory are mapped on the Future Land Use Map series. These areas are to be verified by jurisdictional field delineation, subject to Policy 6.2.2 of this element, at the time of project permitting to determine the exact location of jurisdictional wetland boundaries. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to include the correct Florida Administrative Code reference - "9J- 5.006(1)(b) "; and, include the current SFWMD land use and land cover inventory reference. Policy 6.2.3: Collier County shall implement a comprehensive process to ensure wetlands and the natural functions of wetlands are protected and conserved. This wetland preservation and conservation process shall be coordinated with the Watershed Management Plan process, as referenced in Objective 21 of this Element. However, the process outlined within this policy is primarily based on directing concentrated population growth and intensive development away from large interconnected wetland systems. These wetland systems have been identified based on their type, values, functions, sizes, conditions and locations within Collier County. 30 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT These systems predominantly occur east of the County's Urban boundary, as delineated on the Countywide Future Land Use Map (FLUM), within the Future Land Use Element (FLUE). Many of these wetlands fall within public lands or land targeted for acquisition. High quality wetlands systems located on private property are primarily protected through native vegetation preservation requirements, or through existing PUD commitments, conservation easements, or Stewardship Sending Area Designations, or via the NRPA or Sending designations within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District or landleasement acquisition, or innovative landowner incentives. Protection measures for wetlands and wetland systems located within the northeastern portion of Collier County, excluding the community of Immokalee, are contained in the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA Overlay) of the FLUE (and as depicted on the FLUM). Protection measures for wetlands and wetland systems located within the Urban and Estates designated areas of the County shall be based upon the jurisdictional determinations made by the applicable state or federal agency. Where permits issued by such state or federal agencies allow for impacts to wetlands within Urban and Estates designated areas and require mitigation for such impacts, the permitting agency's mitigation requirements shall be deemed to preserve and protect wetlands and their functions, except for wetlands that are part of a Watershed Management Plan preserve area. The County shall direct impacts away from such wetlands. The large connected wetland systems that exist at the landscape scale in Collier County shall be protected through various Land Use Designations and Overlays that restrict higher intensity land uses and require specific land development standards for the remaining allowable land uses. Collier County shall direct incompatible land uses away from these large landscape scale wetland systems through implementation of the following protection and conservation mechanisms: (1) Conservation Designation Best available data indicates that 76% of all wetlands found in Collier County are contained within the boundaries of the Conservation Designation as depicted on the Countywide Future Land Use Map. The overall purpose of the Conservation Designation is to conserve and maintain the natural resources of Collier County and their associated environmental, recreational, and economic benefits. The allowed land uses specified in the FLUE's Conservation Designation (Reference FLUE Land Use Designation Section IV.) will accommodate limited residential development and future non - residential development. These limitations support Collier County's comprehensive process to direct concentrated population growth and intensive land development away from large connected wetland systems. (2) Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern Overlay (ACSC) Best available data indicates that 74% of the County's wetlands are within the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern Overlay. The land development regulations contained in the ACSC Overlay District, as depicted on the Countywide Future Land Use Map, provide standards that facilitate the goal of directing higher intensity land uses away from wetland systems. The development standards for the ACSC Overlay (Reference FLUE Land Use Designation Section V.) specify that site alterations shall be limited to 10% of the total site. The majority of the land contained within the ACSC is also within the Conservation Designation and thus is subject to the land use limitations of that Land Use Designation. (3) Natural Resource Protection Areas (NRPAs) Major wetland systems and regional flow ways were used as criteria to establish the NRPA Overlay District as shown on the Future Land Use Map, and as discussed in FLUE Land Use Designation, Section V.C. These areas include high functioning wetland systems and, although portions of the NRPA Overlay include lands within the Conservation Designation, represent approximately 12% of the County's wetlands, which are not located in Conservation Lands. Based on the relatively high concentration of wetlands within NRPA designated lands, incompatible land uses 31 CONSER VATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT shall be directed away from these areas. Allowable land uses within NRPAs are also subject to native vegetation retention and preservation standards of 90 %. (4) Rural Fringe Mixed Use District Sending Lands Best available data indicates that 16,000+ acres of wetlands are contained within designated Sending Lands and that such wetlands constitute approximately 70% of land cover in these areas. Incompatible land uses are directed away from the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District Sending Lands through an incentive -based Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Program that allows land owners within these Sending Lands to transfer their residential density out of the Sending Lands to Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (and limited Urban) Receiving Lands. A complete description of the TDR Program is contained in the FLUE, Future Land Use Designation Description Section, Agricultural /Rural Designation, Rural Fringe Mixed Use District Incompatible land uses are also directed away from Sending Lands through restrictions on allowable uses. Finally, allowable uses within these lands are also subject to native vegetation retention and preservation standards of 80% to 90 %, as required by Policy 6.7.1 of this Element. (5) Flowway Stewardship Areas [re- numbered to reflect merger of Ordinance No. 2002 -32 and 2002 -54] Flowway Stewardship Areas have been designated within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA), as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, and are shown on the Rural Lands Study Area Natural Resource Index Map Series. Flowway Stewardship Areas (FSAs) are for the most part privately owned wetlands that are located within the Camp Keais Strand and Okaloacoochee Slough. These lands form the principal wetland flowway systems in the RLSA. The Overlay provides an incentive to permanently protect FSAs through the creation and transfer of Stewardship Credits. It also contains provisions that eliminate incompatible uses from the FSAs and, which establish protection measures. (6) Watershed Management Plans Collier County will establish watershed management plans throughout the County, but with particular emphasis on the Urban and Estates designated areas. These watershed management plans shall be established in accordance with Objective 2.1 of this Element and will include the preservation or, where feasible, creation of landscape - scale wetland conservation areas to act as habitat, natural water quality treatment and water quantity retention /detention areas. The County shall direct incompatible land uses away from such large -scale wetlands. Collier County shall allow for more intensive development to occur in Rural Fringe Receiving Lands, North Golden Gate Estates, the Rural - Settlement Area District, and the Urban Designated Areas subject to the land uses identified in the Future Land Use Element, the Immokalee Area Master Plan, and the Golden Gate Area Master Plan. These areas account for only 6% of Collier County's wetlands. Except for tidal wetlands within the coastal portion of the Urban Designated Area and wetlands that are part of an established watershed management plan, the County finds that the wetland systems in these areas are more fragmented and altered than those systems located within the Conservation Lands, ACSC and NRPA Overlays, and Rural Fringe Sending Lands. On a project - specific basis, wetlands and wetland functions shall be protected through the following mechanisms: (1) Federal and State jurisdictional agency review and wetland permitting; (2) Vegetation preservation policies supporting CCME Objective 6.1; (3) Wetland protection policies supporting CCME Objective 6.2; (4) Clustering provisions specified in the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District of the FLUE (5) The protection of wetlands that are part of an established watershed management plan, as per Objective 2.1 of this Element. 32 CONSERVATIONAND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT (6) Land or easement acquisition. 9B (7) Land owner incentives, such as transferable development rights, tax relief, or USDA grants for restoration. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 6.2.3 requires Collier County to implement a comprehensive process to ensure that wetlands and the natural functions of wetlands are protected and conserved. The process outlined within this policy is primarily based on directing concentrated population growth and intensive development away from large connected wetland systems. High quality wetlands systems located on private property are primarily protected through native vegetation preservation requirements, or through existing PUD commitments, conservation easements, or Stewardship Sending Area Designations, or through the Natural Resource Protection Areas or Sending designations in the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District. The large connected wetland systems that exist at the landscape scale in Collier County are protected through various Land Use Designations and Overlays that restrict higher intensity land uses and require specific land development standards for the remaining allowable land uses. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. /Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11 2010 Workshop - Suggesting that provision (6) of the Policy be revised to include that the watershed management plans contain designated areas to be protected from development so as to preserve habitat, water flows, recharge areas and to prevent future flooding.] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings - Staff Comment - No change is recommended, as wetlands will be addressed as part of the Watershed Management Plans.] %Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Comment from the January 31 2011 Adoption Hearing — Concurs with the post EAC and CCPC Workshop and Adoption Hearings staff comments.] Policy 6.2.5: Within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, and that portion of the Lake Trafford /Camp Keais Strand System which is contained within the Immokalee Urban Designated Area, Collier County shall direct land uses away from higher functioning wetlands by limiting direct impacts within wetlands based upon the vegetation requirements of Policy 6.1.2 of this element, the wetland functionality assessment described in paragraph (2) below, and the final permitting requirements of the South Florida Water Management District. A direct impact is hereby defined as the dredging or filling of a wetland or adversely changing the hydroperiod of a wetland. This policy shall be implemented as follows: (1) The County shall apply the vegetation retention requirements of Policy 6.1.2 of this element to preserve an appropriate amount of native vegetation on site. Wetlands shall be preserved as part of this vegetation requirement according to the following criteria: a. The acreage requirements of Policy 6.1.2 of this element shall be met by preserving wetlands with the highest wetland functionality scores. Wetland functionality assessment scores shall be those described in paragraph (2) of this policy. Wetlands having a WRAP score of at least 0.65 or a Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method score of 0.7 shall be preserved on site. This policy is not intended in all cases to require preservation of wetlands exceeding the acreage required by Policy 6.1.2 of this element. Within one year, the County shall develop specific criteria to be used to determine when wetlands having a WRAP score greater than 0.65 or a Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method score of greater than 0.7 shall be required to be retained exceeding the acreage required by Policy 6.1.2 of this element 33 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT (2) In order to assess the values and functions of wetlands at the time of project review, applicants shall rate functionality of wetlands using the South Florida Water Management District's Wetland Rapid Assessment Procedure (WRAP), as described in Technical Publication Reg -001, dated September 1997, and updated August 1999, or the Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method, F.A.C. Chapter 62 -345. The applicant shall submit to County staff, agency accepted WRAP scores or Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method scores. County staff shall review this functionality assessment as part of the County's EIS provisions and shall use the results to direct incompatible land uses away from the highest functioning wetlands according to the requirements found in paragraph (1) above. (3) All direct impacts shall be mitigated for pursuant to the requirements of paragraph (6) of this policy. (4) Single family residences shall follow the requirements contained within Policy 6.2.7 of this element. (5) The County shall separate preserved wetlands from other land uses with appropriate buffering requirements. The County shall require a minimum 50 -foot vegetated upland buffer adjacent to a natural water body, and for other wetlands a minimum 25 -foot vegetated upland buffer adjacent to the wetland. A structural buffer may be used in conjunction with a vegetative buffer that would reduce the vegetative buffer width by 50 %. A structural buffer shall be required adjacent to wetlands where direct impacts are allowed. Wetland buffers shall conform to the following standards: a. The buffer shall be measured landward from the approved jurisdictional line. b. The buffer zone shall consist of preserved native vegetation. Where native vegetation does not exist, native vegetation compatible with the existing soils and expected hydrologic conditions shall be planted. c. The buffer shall be maintained free of Category I invasive exotic plants, as defined by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council. d. The following land uses are considered to be compatible with wetland functions and are allowed within the buffer: 1. Passive recreational areas, boardwalks and recreational shelters; 2. Pervious nature trails; 3. Water management structures; 4. Mitigation areas; 5. Any other conservation and related open space activity or use which is comparable in nature with the foregoing uses. e. A structural buffer may consist of a stem -wall, berm, or vegetative hedge with suitable fencing. (6) Mitigation shall be required for direct impacts to wetlands in order to result in no net loss of wetland functions. a. Mitigation Requirements: 1. "No net loss of wetland functions" shall mean that the wetland functional score of the proposed mitigation equals or exceeds the wetland functional score of the impacted wetlands. However, in no case shall the acreage proposed for mitigation be less than the acreage being impacted. 2. Loss of storage or conveyance volume resulting from direct impacts to wetlands shall be compensated for by providing an equal amount of storage or conveyance capacity on site and within or adjacent to the impacted wetland. 3. Protection shall be provided for preserved or created wetland or upland vegetative communities offered as mitigation by placing a conservation easement over the land in perpetuity, providing for initial exotic plant removal (Class 1 invasive exotic plants defined by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council) and continuing exotic plant maintenance. 4. Prior to issuance of any final development order that authorizes site alteration, the applicant shall demonstrate compliance with paragraphs (6)a.1, (6)a.2, and 34 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT 99 (6)a.3 of this policy_ If agency permits have not provided mitigation consistent with this policy, Collier County will require mitigation exceeding that of the jurisdictional agencies. 5. Mitigation requirements for single - family lots shall be determined by the State and Federal agencies during their permitting process, pursuant to the requirements of Policy 6.2.7 of this element. b. Mitigation Incentives: 1. Collier County shall encourage certain types of mitigation by providing a variety of incentives in the form of density bonuses and credits to open space and vegetation retention requirements. Density bonuses shall be limited to no more than 10% of the allowed density. 2. Preferred mitigation activities that would qualify for these incentives include, but are not limited, to the following: (a) Adding wetland habitat to or restoring wetland functions within Rural Fringe Mixed Use District Sending Lands, (b) Creating, enhancing or restoring wading bird habitat to be located near wood stork, and/or other wading bird colonies. 3. Within one (1) year of the effective date of these amendments, Collier County shall adopt specific criteria in the LDC to implement this incentive program, and to identify other mitigation priorities. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 6.2.5 requires that within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, Collier County is to direct land uses away from higher functioning wetlands by limiting direct impacts within wetlands based upon the vegetation requirements of Policy 6.1.2. This policy was adopted as part of the County's Rural Fringe Amendments. Although Policy 6.2.5 states the vegetation requirements for the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District and that portion of the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System which is contained within the Immokalee Urban Designated Area, shall be based upon the native vegetation retention requirements of Policy 6.1.2 of this Element, the Policy does not specify the percent requirement of retained native vegetation which applies to that portion of the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System which is contained within the Immokalee Urban Designated Area. This should be clarified in Policy 6.2.5 and/or in Policy 6.1.2. Section 6.2.5 (6)(5)(b)(3) should be removed as the specific criteria to implement the incentive program and to identify other mitigation priorities have previously been adopted in the Land development Code.

The County shall direct impacts away from such wetlands. This policy shall be implemented as follows: (1) For single - family residences within Southern Golden Gate Estates or within the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern, the County shall require the appropriate federal and state wetland - related permits before Collier County issues a building permit. (2) Outside of Southern Golden Gate Estates and the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern, Collier County shall inform applicants for individual single - family building permits that federal and state wetland permits may be required prior to construction unless the proposed residence is within a watershed management conservation area identified in a Watershed Management Plan developed pursuant to policies supporting Objective 2.1 of this Element, in which case the appropriate jurisdictional permit is required prior to the issuance of a building permit. The County shall also notify the applicable federal and state agencies of single - family building permits applications in these areas. (3) Within North Golden Gate Estates and the Rural Settlement Area, Collier County shall incorporate certain preserved and /or created wetlands and associated uplands into the County's approved watershed management plans, as per Objective 2.1 of this Element. The size and location of wetlands incorporated into the watershed management plans will be based upon the approved requirements for such plans. The County may issue single - family building permits within or adjacent to such wetlands, subject to appropriate mitigation requirements, which preserve the functionality of the wetland within the applicable watershed management plan. For a proposed residence which is to be located within a watershed management conservation area identified in a Watershed Management Plan developed pursuant to policies supporting Objective 2.1 of this Element, the appropriate jurisdictional permit is required prior to the issuance of a building permit. (4) Collier County shall continue to work with federal and state agencies to identify properties that have a high probability of wetlands and animal listed species occurrence. The identification process will be based on hydric soils data and other applicable criteria. Once this identification process is complete, the County will determine if the process is sufficiently accurate to require federal and state wetland approvals prior to the issuance of a building permit within these areas. The County shall use information on wetland and /or listed species occurrence to inform property owners of the potential existence of wetlands and /or listed species on their property. (5) Within one year after Watershed Management Plans are accepted by the Board of County Commissioners, Collier 'County shall develop and implement additional means to protect wetland systems identified in each Plan for preservation or restoration. Means to consider include innovative landowner incentives, transferable development rights, tax relief, land or easement acquisition, state and federal grants, and enhanced regulations. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 6.2.7 stipulates that within the Estates Designated Area and the Rural Settlement Area, the County is to rely on the wetland jurisdictional determinations and permit requirements issued by the applicable Jurisdictional agency, except for wetlands that are part of a Watershed Management Plan preserve area.

The County relies on the listing process of State and Federal agencies to identify species that require special protection because of their endangered, threatened, or species of special concern status. Listed animal species are those species that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has designated as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern, in accordance with Rules 68A- 27.003, 68A - 27.004, and 68A- 27.005, F.A.C. and those species designated by various federal agencies as Endangered and Threatened species published in 50 CFR 17. [This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed] Policy Relevance: Policy 7.1.2 Within areas of Collier County, excluding the lands contained in the RLSA Overlay, non- agricultural development, excluding individual single family residences, shall be directed away from listed species and their habitats by complying with the following guidelines and standards: (1) A wildlife survey shall be required for all parcels when listed species are known to inhabit biological communities similar to those existing on site or where listed species are directly observed on the site. The survey shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ( USFWS) guidelines. The County shall notify the FFWCC and USFWS of the existence of any listed species that may be discovered. (2) Wildlife habitat management plans for listed species shall be submitted for County approval. A plan shall be required for all projects where the wildlife survey indicated listed species are utilizing the site, or the site contains potential habitat for listed species. These plans shall describe how the project directs incompatible land uses away from listed species and their habitats. (a) Management plans shall incorporate proper techniques to protect listed species and their habitat from the negative impacts of proposed development. Developments shall be clustered to discourage impacts to listed species habitats. Open space and 38 CONSERVATIONAND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT 9B ' i vegetation preservation requirements shall be used to establish buffer areas between wildlife habitat areas and areas dominated by human activities.

The County shall consider any other techniques recommended by the USFWS and the FFWCC, subject to the provisions of paragraph (3) of this policy. 3. When listed species are directly observed on site or indicated by evidence, such as denning, foraging or other indications, priority shall be given to preserving the listed species habitats first, as a part of the retained native vegetation requirement contained in Policy 6.1.1 and Policy 6.1.2 this element The County shall also consider the recommendations of other agencies, subject to the provisions of paragraph (3) of this policy. (b) For parcels containing gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus), priority shall be given to protecting the largest most contiguous gopher tortoise habitat with the greatest number of active burrows, and for providing a connection to off site adjacent gopher tortoise preserves. (c) Habitat preservation for the Florida scrub jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) shall conform to the guidelines contained in Technical Report No. 8, Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, 1991. The required management plan shall also provide for a maintenance program and specify an appropriate fire or mechanical protocols to maintain the natural scrub community. The plan shall also outline a public awareness program to educate residents about the on -site preserve and the need to maintain the scrub vegetation. These requirements shall be consistent with the UFWS South Florida Multi- Species Recovery Plan, May 1999, subject to the provisions of paragraph (3) of this policy. (d) For the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), the required habitat management plans shall establish protective zones around the eagle nest restricting certain activities. The plans shall also address restricting certain types of activities during the nesting season. These requirements shall be consistent with the UFWS South Florida Multi - Species Recovery Plan, May 1999, subject to the provisions of paragraph (3) of this policy. (e) For the red - cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), the required habitat protection plan shall outline measures to avoid adverse impacts to active clusters and to minimize impacts to foraging habitat Where adverse effects cannot be avoided, measures shall be taken to minimize on -site disturbance and compensate or mitigate for impacts that remain. These requirements shall be consistent with the UFWS South Florida Multi- 39 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT Species Recovery Plan, May 1999, subject to the provisions of paragraph (3) of this policy. (f) In areas where the Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) may be present, the management plans shall require that garbage be placed in bear -proof containers, at one or more central locations. The management plan shall also identify methods to inform local residents of the concerns related to interaction between black bears and humans. Mitigation for impacting habitat suitable for black bear shall be considered in the management plan. (g) For projects located in Priority I and Priority II Panther Habitat areas, the management plan shall discourage the destruction of undisturbed, native habitats that are preferred by the Florida panther (Felis concolor coryi) by directing intensive land uses to currently disturbed areas. Preferred habitats include pine flatwoods and hardwood hammocks. In turn, these areas shall be buffered from the most intense land uses of the project by using low intensity land uses (e.g., parks, passive recreational areas, golf courses). Golf courses within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District shall be designed and managed using standards found in that district. The management plans shall identify appropriate lighting controls for these permitted uses and shall also address the opportunity to utilize prescribed burning to maintain fire- adapted preserved vegetative communities and provide browse for white - tailed deer. These requirements shall be consistent with the UFWS South Florida Multi- Species Recovery Plan, May 1999, subject to the provisions of paragraph (3) of this policy. (h)ln order to protect loggerhead ( Caretta caretta) and other listed sea turtles that nest along Collier County beaches, projects within 300 feet of the MHW line shall limit outdoor lighting to that necessary for security and safety. Floodlights and landscape or accent lighting shall be prohibited. These requirements shall be consistent with the UFWS South Florida Multi- Species Recovery Plan, May 1999, subject to the provisions of Policy 7.1.2(3). (i) The Management Plans shall contain a monitoring program for developments greater than 10 acres. (3) The County shall, consistent with applicable GMP policies, consider and utilize recommendations and letters of technical assistance from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and recommendations from the US Fish and Wildlife Service in issuing development orders on property containing listed species. It is recognized that these agency recommendations, on a case by case basis, may change the requirements contained within these wildlife protection policies and any such change shall be deemed consistent with the Growth Management Plan. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 7.1.2 provides guidelines and standards for directing non - agricultural development, except for individual single- family residences, away from listed species and their habitats. This policy does not apply to lands located within the RLSA. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be modified to remove the references to specific wildlife publications and plans listed in the Policy; add a general reference to publications utilized by the FFWCC and USFWS as their technical assistance, since the most current information used by these agencies should be used in protecting listed species; and, delete the reference to mitigation for black bear habitat, as no such mitigation is required by the FFWCC or USFWS.

Through Policies 7.2.1 through 7.2.3, the County's objective is to minimize the number of manatee deaths due to boat related incidents. 41 CONSER VATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT Objective Achievement Analysis: 9 B Collier County's Manatee Protection Plan (NR- SP- 93 -01) was adopted within the Collier County Land Development Code (LDC, Section 2.6.22 by adoption of Ordinance No. 95 -58) in May of 1995, but was not officially adopted into the County's Growth Management Plan until December 16, 2003, by the adoption of Ordinance 2003 -67. The Manatee Protection Plan (MPP) has played a pivotal role in the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FFWCC) decision - making process since its adoption. In the years since the MPP was adopted, the FFWCC's Bureau of Protected Species Management's permitting staff has depended primarily upon the MPP to provide consistent direction for the siting of boat facilities within Collier County's jurisdictional waters. Moreover, the MPP lays out regulatory groundwork for the protection of manatee habitat, such as seagrass beds. This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be revised to reflect the most up -to -date, best available data on manatee deaths in Collier County waters.

Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 10. 1.6 requires all new marinas, water- dependent and water - related uses that propose to destroy viable, naturally functioning marine wetlands to perform a fiscal analysis in order to demonstrate the public benefit and financial feasibility of the proposed development. It is not appropriate to refer only to "viable, naturally functioning marine wetlands" as the proposed destruction of any marine wetlands should be subject to the fiscal analysis requirement. Also, it is not necessary to refer to "public benefit" in this policy since Policy 10.1.5 requires such uses to be available "for general public use" which is a public benefit. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained.

[This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed] Policy Relevance: Policy 10.6.2: For shoreline development projects where an EIS is required, an analysis shall demonstrate that the project will remain fully functional for its intended use after a six -inch rise in sea level. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 10.6.2 requires shoreline projects where an EIS is required, to provide an analysis demonstrating that the project, remain fully functional for its intended use after a six -inch rise in sea level. NOAA indicates that at current rates it will take 75 years to reach a 6" increase (2.02mm / year). If the higher rates suggested by the SWFRPC Draft Climate Change report are used (2.3 mm/year) it will still take approximately 66 years to reach a 6 " rise (refer to link below from NOAA). These time frames are well beyond the accepted planning horizon. NOAA Link: http:// tidesandcurrents .noaa.gov /sltrends /sltrends station. shtml?stnid=87251 10 The mean sea level trend is 2.02 millimeters /year with a 95% confidence interval of +/- 0.60 mm/yr based on monthly mean sea level data from 1965 to 2006 which is equivalent to a change of 0.66 feet in 100 years. 48 CONSERVATIONAND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT Mean Sea Level Trend — 8725110 Naples, Florida Naples, FL 2.02 +1.0.60 mmlyr 0,60- � � � �r.xn sne sar «: ua,aa Haaye uasar� ayok �emsved D.45 �"'�t"° ----------------------- - --- ----- -- - - -- LWw 05% aanfide- Rvrd W.e.05z Wnfd— w —r D.3i1 - -----------------'--------------------- DJ5------------------------------------ �D.OD-------------------------------- -- f -0.15 - - - -- - -- - - -- -- -- -- ----- ----- --- - - - - -- Y - — -0.3D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -0.45 --------------------------------------------- -0.6D ,$� sy, gam, ' 2?

This table is based on using Tables 9 -1 and 9 -2 of the USEPA Report "The Probability of Sea Level Rise." Basically, the formula is multiplying the historic sea level rise (2.3 mm/yr) in Southwest Florida (closest point used is St. Petersburg, Fl., Table 9 -2) by the future number of years from 1990 plus the Normalized Sea Level Projections in Table 9 -1. For the study the 90% probability is considered the best case, the 50% probability the moderate case, and the 5% probability the worst case scenario. Staff believes that current building regulations, in combination with the National Flood Insurance Program, provide adequate protection for all residents within the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) (100 year floodplain). The building code requires all buildings to be built at or above the 1% flood elevation set by the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) program. FIRM maps use existing sea level and they will be updated every 5 years. The building code requires all facilities within the SFHA be brought into compliance with the Flood Damage Prevention ordinance with any major renovation (improvement of greater than 51 % value of building). All buildings with federally backed mortgages are required to obtain flood insurance. This Policy is not relevant and should be deleted. However, one or more policies should be added to require the County to monitor and work with federal, state and regional agencies to plan for sea level rise in the future. [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from the August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the Policy be retained as written to account for life expectancy of buildings of over 75 years.] [Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the November 3, 2010 Adoption HearinZ The EAC is in agreement with the CCPC comment from the August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop.] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings — Staff Comment — Staff concurs with the EAC and CCPC recommendations.] 49 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT 9B OBJECTIVE 12.1: The County will maintain hurricane evacuation clearance times as required by state law. An evacuation clearance time shall be defined as having residents and visitors in an appropriate refuge away from storm surge prior to the arrival of sustained Tropical Storm force winds, i.e., winds equal to or greater than 39 mph. To further these objectives, for future mobile home developments located outside of the storm surge zone, such development shall include on- site sheltering or retro - fitting of an adjacent facility. The Collier County Emergency Management Department shall seek opportunities to increase shelter facilities and associated capacities under the direction of the Department of the Florida Division of Emergency Management Objective Achievement Analysis: While population growth has stabilized, the county is still considered to have a deficit of shelter space that can be utilized for its population. Seasonal populations, economy and storm surge expected without regard to category supports the need for additional shelter space. This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. This Objective is affected by changes to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, which were adopted into law in 2006, as follows: [Note: This is not a mandate, rather an option should the County desire to increase residential density within the CHHA through a GMPA.] 163.3178(9)(b) Requires the addition of a new section establishing a level of service for out - of- county hurricane evacuation of no greater than 16 hours for a category 5 storm for any local government that wishes to follow the process in s.163.3178(9)(a) but has not established such a level of service by July 1, 2008. Ch. 2006 -68, LOF. Policy Relevance: Policy 12.1.1: Collier County will develop and maintain a comprehensive public awareness program. The program will be publicized prior to May 30'' of each year. Evacuation zones, public shelters and evacuation routes shall be printed in each local newspaper, displayed on the Collier County Emergency Management website, and the availability of this information will be discussed on local television newscasts. This information shall also be made readily available to all hotel /motel guests. Policy Achievement Anal Policy 12.1.1 states that a comprehensive awareness program will be developed and publicized prior to May 30th of each year. Evacuation zones and routings will be printed in each local newspaper. This information will be made readily available to all hotel/motel guests and other alternative media forums. The County cannot ensure that this information gets printed in each publication. The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to remove the phrase, "printed in" and replace with "provided to." Policy 12.1.3: The County shall continue to identify and maintain shelter space for 32,000 persons by 2006 and 45,000 by 2010. Shelter space capacity will be determined at the rate of 20 square feet per person. 50 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT Policy Achievement Analysis: 99 Policy 12.1.3 requires that the County continue to identify shelter space that complies with Red Cross standards for 32,000 persons by 2006 and 45,000 persons by 2010. Shelter space will be determined at the rate of 20 square feet per person. Collier County recommends that these dates and numbers be revised based upon the figures computed from the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council's Hurricane Evacuation Study Update. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to reflect current shelter space figures of 32,000 persons by 2012 and 45,000 persons by 2015. Policy 12.1.5: On -site shelters within mobile home parks or mobile home subdivisions shall be elevated to a minimum height equal to or above the worst case Category 3 hurricane flooding level, based upon the most current National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's storm surge model, known as Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH). The wind load criteria for buildings and structures designated as "essential facilities" in the latest Florida Building Code, shall guide the design and construction of the required shelters. Shelters shall be constructed with emergency electrical power and potable water supplies; shall provide glass protection by shutters or other approved materialidevice; and shall provide for ventilation, sanitary facilities and first aid equipment. A telephone, automatic external defibrillator (AED) and battery- operated radio are also required within the shelter. Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, except that the last sentence should be amended to read, "battery operated radio with NOAA weather S.A.M.E. (Specific Area Message Encoded) capability." Policy 12.1.7: The County shall update the hurricane evacuation portion of the Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan prior to June 1st of each year by integrating all appropriate regional and State emergency plans in the identification of emergency evacuation routes. Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. [Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment fi-om the August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting to add the requirement to "coordinate with municipalities. '] [Post EAC and CCPC Workshops and Adoption Hearings — Staff Comment — Staff concurs with the CCPC recommendation.] Policy 12.1.9: Collier County shall annually update its approved Hazard Mitigation Plan, formerly known as the "Local Hazard Mitigation Strategy" through the identification of new or ongoing local hazard mitigation projects and appropriate funding sources for such projects. Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy remains relevant, but should be revised to read, "Collier County through its Local Mitigation Working Group shall annually update its approved Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS), 51 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT 9 through the identification and review of new or ongoing local hazard mitigation projects including, appropriate funding sources for such projects." Policy 12.1.11: The County will continue to coordinate with Collier County Public Schools to ensure that all new public schools outside of the Coastal High Hazard Area are designed and constructed to meet the Public Shelter Design Criteria, as contained in "State Requirements for Educational Facilities" (1999). Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, except that the referenced date should be revised to reflect the year 2007. Policy 12.1.12: The County will continue to work with the Board of Regents of the State University System to ensure that all new facilities in the State University System that are located outside of the Coastal High Hazard Area are designed and constructed to meet the Public Shelter Design Criteria, as contained in "State Requirements for Educational Facilities" (1999) and the Florida Building Code. Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, except that the referenced date should be revised to reflect the year 2007. Policy 12.1.13: The County will continue to mitigate previously identified shelter deficiencies through mitigation from Developments of Regional Impact, Emergency Management Preparedness and Enhancement grants, Hazard Mitigation and Pre - disaster Mitigation Grant Programs funding, and from funds identified in the State's annual shelter deficit studies. Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, cost- sharing and other requirements sometimes are not acceptable to the County. The Policy should be revised to delete the word "from" after the word "and"; and, add the phrase, "...as funding requirements permit." at the end of the paragraph. Policy 12.1.14: Prior to adoption of the 2007 Annual Update and Inventory Report (A.U.I.R.), Collier County shall evaluate whether to include hurricane shelters in the 5 -year schedule of Capital Improvements. Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy is no longer relevant and should be deleted, as the Board of County Commissioners does not support the inclusion of hurricane shelters within the 5 -year schedule of Capital Improvements. Policy 12.1.15: All new nursing homes and assisted living facilities that are licensed for more than 15 clients will have a core area to shelter residents and staff on site. The core area will be constructed to meet the Public Shelter Design Criteria that is required for new public schools and public community colleges and universities ( "State Requirements for Educational Facilities," 1999). Additionally this area shall be capable of ventilation or air conditioning provided by back -up generator for a period of no less than 48 hours. 52 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT Policy Achievement Anal This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to make consistent with current State and Local guidelines: delete the phrase, "...for more than 15 clients"; delete "48 hours" and replace with "72" hours; and revise the date reference to reflect "2007." Policy 12.1.17: Collier County is currently conducting a hurricane evacuation re- study. If warranted by the results of these studies, further restriction on development may be proposed. Policy Achievement Anal This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, for clarity and accuracy, the County recommends revising the Policy to read, "Hurricane Evacuation Studies for Collier County are periodically conducted by the State of Florida and Federal Authorities. If warranted by the results of these studies, further restriction on development may be proposed." OBJECTIVE 12.2: The County shall ensure that publicly funded buildings and publicly funded development activities are carried out in a manner that demonstrates best practice to minimize the loss of life, property, and re- building cost from the effects from hurricanes, flooding, natural and technological disaster events. Best practice efforts may include, but are not limited to: a. Construction above the flood plain; b. maintaining a protective zone for wildfire mitigation; c. installation of on -site permanent generators or temporary generator emergency connection points; d. beach and dune restoration, re- nourishment, or emergency protective actions to minimize the loss of structures from future events; e. emergency road repairs; f. repair and /or replacement of publicly owned docking facilities, parking areas, and sea walls, etc. [This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed] Policv Relevance: Policy 12.2.5: The County shall consider the Coastal High Hazard Area as a geographical area lying within the Category 1 storm surge zone as presently defined in the 2001 Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council's Hurricane Evacuation Study, or subsequently authorized storm surge or evacuation planning studies coordinated by the Collier County Emergency Management Department and approved by the Board of County Commissioners. Policy Achievement Anal Policy 12.2.5 requires the County to consider the coastal high - hazard area as that area lying within the Category 1 evacuation zone as defined in the 2001 Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council Hurricane Evacuation Study. It should be noted that the draft 2011 Evacuation Study has been completed, but is still under review by staff and the State. 53 CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT 9B This Policy is affected by changes to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, which were adopted into law in 2006, as follows: 163.3178(2)(h) Requires a change to the definition of the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) to be defined as the area below the elevation of the category 1 storm surge line as established by the SLOSH model. Ch. 2006 -68, LOF. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, except that the definition of the CHHA should be revised consistent with 2006 legislative changes. OBJECTIVE 12.3: The County shall develop and maintain a task force that will plan and guide a unified County response to post - hurricane disasters. [This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed] Policy Relevance: Policy 12.3.2: After a hurricane that necessitated an evacuation, the Board of County Commissioners shall meet to hear preliminary damage assessments. This will be done prior to re -entry of the population. At that time, the Commission will activate the recovery task force and consider a temporary moratorium on building activities not necessary for the public health, safety and welfare. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 12.3.2 states that, after a hurricane that necessitated an evacuation, the Board of County Commissioners will meet to hear preliminary damage assessments. This will be done prior to re -entry of the population. At that time, the Commission will activate the recovery task force and consider a temporary moratorium on building activities not necessary for the public health, safety and welfare. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to remove the second sentence, and change "will" to "may" in the last sentence. Policy 12.3.3: The Recovery Task Force shall include the Sheriff of Collier County, the Community Development and Environmental Services Division Administrator, the Comprehensive Planning Director, the Zoning and Land Development Review Director, the Emergency Management Director and other members as directed by the Board of County Commissioners. The Board should also include representatives from municipalities within Collier County that have received damage from the storm to become members of the Recovery Task Force. Policy Achievement Analysis: Policy 12.3.3 recommends that the recovery task force will include local law enforcement authorities, the Community Development Administrator, Public Works Administrator, Planning and Zoning Director, Emergency Management Director and other members as directed by the Board of County Commissioners. Representatives from municipalities receiving damage from the storm should also be members of the recovery task force. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to reflect current departmental references. 54 CONSER VATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT OBJECTIVE 12.4: The County shall make every reasonable effort to meet the emergency preparedness requirements of people with special needs such as the elderly, handicapped, the infirmed and those requiring transportation from a threatened area. In the event of a countywide emergency, such as a hurricane or other large -scale disaster, the County Emergency Management Department shall open and operate one or more refuges for persons listed on the County's Special Needs Registry and their caregivers. Medical and support equipment at such refuges will include, but not necessarily be limited to, respirators, oxygen tanks, first aid equipment, disaster cots and blankets, and defibrillators. Objective Achievement Analysis: This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be revised as follows: delete, "people with special needs" and replace with "Persons with Special Needs (PSN)" within the first sentence; delete "...the County Emergency Management Department shall..." and replace with "...the County Emergency Management Department in coordination with the Collier County Health Department and other officials shall..." 55 CONSERVATIONAND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT m W SUMMARY OF RECOMMIENDED CHANGES 2011 EVALUATION & APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR) Intergovernmental Coordination Element - ICE Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Element should be revised to reflect the proper formatting of Goals, Objectives and Policies, as defined below.

The ICE contains a single Goal, which states the primary purpose of this Element. A list of interlocal agreements is provided at the conclusion of the ICE Objective and Policy analysis. Objectives Analysis: The ICE Goal reads as follows: "PROVIDE FOR THE CONTINUAL EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION AND THE USE OF ANY INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION MECHANISMS WITH BROWARD, DADE, HENDRY, LEE AND MONROE COUNTIES, CITIES OF EVERGLADES AND NAPLES, COLLIER COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD, SOUTHWEST FLORIDA REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL, AND ANY OTHER LOCAL, STATE, OR FEDERAL AGENCY OR GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY, AND UTILITY COMPANIES SUCH AS BUT NOT LIMITED TO FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT, LEE COUNTY ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, SPRINTIUNITED TELEPHONE, IMMOKALEE WATER AND SEWER DISTRICT, PELICAN BAY SERVICE DIVISION (MSTU), FLORIDA WATER SERVICES, FLORIDA CITIES WATER COMPANY, MEDIA ONE, AND CABLEVISION INDUSTRIES THAT MAY BE IMPACTED BY COLLIER COUNTY'S LAND, ROAD OR FACILITY PLANNING TO RESOLVE DIFFERENCES AND TO ACHIEVE COMPATIBLE AND COORDINATED PLANS." Obiective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends generalizing names when possible. For example: COLLIER COUNTY WILL MAINTAIN OR ENHANCE THE LEVEL OF COORDINATION AND COOPERATION AMONG THE VARIOUS GOVERNMENTS, AUTHORITIES AND AGENCIES MAKING DECISIONS AFFECTING NATURAL RESOURCES, HOUSING, HISTORIC AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES, PUBLIC FACILITIES, AND PUBLIC SERVICES WITHIN AND AROUND COLLIER COUNTY, TO RESOLVE DIFFERENCES AND TO ACHIEVE COMPATIBLE AND COORDINATED PLANS. OBJECTIVE 1: Collier County (County) shall continue to establish and maintain intergovernmental communication and level of service coordination mechanisms to be used by the County, Everglades City, the City of Marco Island, the City of Naples, and the City of Bonita Springs, adjacent Lee County, Hendry County, Broward County, Dade County, Monroe County, the District School Board of Collier County School Board, the State of Florida, and any other entity that provides a service but may not have land use authority. 1 Intergovernmental Coordination Element m Obiective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the insertion of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Department of Transportation, and South Florida Water Management District. Including these agencies will ensure coordination of key policies that relate to water supply planning and watershed management plans. Policy 1.2: The Collier County Comprehensive Planning Department shall be the designated liaison to disseminate information on proposed Growth Management Plan amendments under review by the County, which have the potential to affect any of the entities listed in Objective 1. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends that this Policy be updated to reflect that the former Comprehensive Planning Department is now the Comprehensive Planning Section. Policy 1.2 requires the Collier County Comprehensive Planning Department to be the designated liaison to disseminate information on proposed Growth Management Plan amendments by the County which affect any of the entities listed in Objective 1.1. Policy 1.3: The Collier County Comprehensive Planning Department shall continue to prepare and review the Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) as an annual level of service monitoring report for the capital facilities included within the Growth Management Plan. The purpose of this report is to provide the affected entities with the necessary information to evaluate and coordinate level of service standards. Policy Achievement Analysis: The County recommends that this Policy be updated to reflect that the Comprehensive Planning Department recently became the Comprehensive Planning Section. Policy 1.3 requires the Collier County Comprehensive Planning Department to prepare and review an annual level of service monitoring report for the facilities included within the Growth Management Plan. The purpose of this report is to provide the affected entities with the information in order to evaluate and coordinate level of service standards. This task is incorporated into the County's Annual Update & Inventory Report (AUIR) for the County's capital facilities. OBJECTIVE 2: The County shall coordinate its land use planning strategy, including an assessment of proposed development, with that of other governmental and private entities. Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the text remains as written. With regard to other governmental and non - governmental entities, as well as the general public, the County takes due care that all matters coming before the Board of County Commissioners with regard to land use changes are properly noticed and advertised, and that there is a public opportunity for all interested parties to present comments and recommendations to the Commission. Additionally, Collier County's proposed GMP amendments and Land Development Code (LDC) changes are either available online, in other electronic version, or as 2 Intergovernmental Coordination Element 99 printed documents. In addition, all land use- related documents are available to anyone upon request for a minimal copying fee. , Policy 2.1: Collier County will continue to identify, develop, and pursue areas where intergovernmental land use planning and level of service agreements are needed between the County and respective governmental or private entities. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends minor text change. Agreements should not be limited to governments and entities within Collier County. Collier County recommends expanding to "appropriate" governmental or private entities. Policy 2.6: The County shall continue to coordinate with The District School Board of Collier County for collaborative planning and decision making on population projections, the public school site selection for new public educational and ancillary facilities, and the location and extension of public facilities subject to concurrency, to support existing and proposed public educational facilities in accordance with the general Interlocal Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and as subsequently amended and restated, with an effective date of December 2008, and the School Board Review (SBR) Interlocal Agreement adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the text be revised to reflect new dates or generalize text so that dates are not specified. Public Comment from 3 -15 -10 EAR Public Meeting: Better coordination between School Board (sitting) and County Government (locate schools where infrastructure is available or planned). Policy 2.6 requires that the County coordinate with the Collier County School Board on the site selection for new public educational plants and ancillary plants and the provision of infrastructure, particularly roads, to support existing and proposed public educational plants and ancillary plants in accordance with the two Interlocal Agreements adopted in accordance with Sections 163.3177(6)(h) and 163.31777, Florida Statutes, on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners. This policy should be revised to remove dates and or revise dates. As an alternative, text should be revised so that specific dates of agreements are not specified. Policy 2.7: Collier County hereby adopts, as part of this Intergovernmental Coordination Element, the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council's Rule 29I -7, Florida Administrative Code, dated April 1994, which establishes a voluntary regional dispute process to reconcile differences on planning, growth management, and other issues among local governments, regional agencies and private interests. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the text be revised to reflect new dates and requirements. 3 Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy 2.7 incorporates into the Growth Management Plan, by reference, the Southwest Florida - Regional Planning Council's (SWFRPC's) Dispute Resolution, Rule 29I -7, dated April 1994. This policy should be revise to include portions of Rule 29I -7 have been updated since 1994 and date will change per new SB360 -2009 requirement. Collier County recommends amending references to date or update dates, and to include new requirement for mandatory mediation (SB360 -2009, amending §186.509). Policy 2.8: The County shall coordinate with the South Water Management District and other regulatory agencies in implementing the Growth Management Plan. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends correcting SFWMD name. Policy 2.8 requires the County to coordinates with the South Water Management District and other regulatory agencies. This is an on- ongoing task. Collier County recommends including "Florida" to correct the name of the cited agency. Policy 2.9: The County shall continue to coordinate with The District School Board of Collier County for the regulatory review of residential development for school concurrency, in accordance with Section 1633180(13) Florida Statutes. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends minor text revisions. Policy 2.9 requires the County to coordinates with The District School Board of Collier County in regard to the review of residential development for school concurrency. This is an on- ongoing task. Collier County recommends including a comma that is missing prior to Florida Statutes, and referring to Section 163.3180 only. OBJECTIVE 3: Collier County shall develop procedures to identify and implement joint planning areas for the purposes of municipal annexation, municipal incorporation and joint infrastructure service areas. Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the text remains as written. Section 9J -5.015 (3) (c) 4., Florida Administrative Code, requires the Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) to: "Provide procedures to identify and implement joint planning areas for the purposes of annexation, municipal incorporation and joint infrastructure service areas."

Goal: General statement that defines what the Element will ultimately achieve. Objective: A more specific statement than the stated Goal; describes actions that will help achieve the goal(s). Policies: Specific statements that provide directives on how to achieve the objectives and ultimately the Element's goal(s). Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Element should be revised to reflect Department name changes, designee changes, renumbering due to objective and/or policy additions and/or deletions, and grammatical changes. Policy 1.4: Revise to allow for, but not mandate, the creation of a District (perhaps replace "shall" with "may "). Policy 2.1: Revise to correct the CIE Policy reference. Policy 2.4: If changes are made to the Density Rating System to delete the Traffic Congestion Area density reduction factor, as proposed, then revise this policy to delete that reference. If changes are made to Policy 6.3 to delete reference to the affordable housing provision, as proposed, then revise this policy to delete that reference. Policy 2.5: Revise to reflect the existence of the TCMAs (perhaps replace "shall designate" on first line with "has designated "). Policy 4.5 Revise to recognize the periodic update (perhaps replace the last sentence with a commitment to periodically update the inventory). Policy 4.7: Revise to specify that a redevelopment plan may only be prepared by the County or its agent unless first approved by the Board, to add reference to the Immokalee Redevelopment Plan, and to correct the date reference. Policy 5.3: Revise to clarify changes to the Urban designation refers to the new designation of lands as Urban (perhaps replace "changes" in the third line with "addition "). FL UE SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES �r 9B Policy 5.14: Revise as necessary to reflect the changed status and contents of the Inter -local Agreements as well as any changes necessary to correlate with the Public School Facilities Element. Objective 6: Revise to reference the establishment of TCMAs in past tense (perhaps replace "are hereby" in the last sentence with "have been "). Policy 6.3: Revise paragraph e) to begin with a verb so as to follow the sentence structure (perhaps add "Providing" before "Vehicular "); delete paragraph d) referring to the affordable housing provision; and, make correlating change to Transportation Element Policy 5.5. Objective 7: Revise to reference reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (perhaps add "reduce greenhouse gas emissions," on the second line after "policies, ". Policy 7.3: Revise for proper wording (perhaps replace "and their interconnection points" with "and/or provide interconnection(s)." Policy 7.7: Revise to update the Division name. Density Rating System — Conversion of Commercial Zoning Bonus: Revise to prohibit applicability within the CHHA. Density Rating System — Affordable- Workforce Housing Bonus: Revise to prohibit applicability within the CHHA. Density Rating System - Traffic Congestion Area: Delete, and replace with a Coastal High Hazard Area density reduction factor; so reflect this on the FLUM; make correlating changes to all GMP references to this provision; and, revise both the Roadway Access and Proximity to Mixed Use Activity Center or Interchange Activity Center (residential density bands) bonuses to replace reference to this provision with CHHA reference. Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict: Revise to reduce allowable density for residential -only projects within the CHHA to a maximum of 4 DU /A; revise the Master Planned Activity Center provision for clarity, and possible substantive change. Rural Fringe Mixed Use District: Revise to clarify the District only applies to A -zoned lands; to correct a miss - numbering in the RFMUD Sending Lands designation; and, revise the Exemption provision to clarify the applicability of "expansion" and to delete unneeded text from the Exemption title. Overlays and Special Features, Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Overlay: Revise, if possible, to provide clarity to this Overlay and/or related FLUE provisions. Future Land Use Map: Revise the CHHA boundary to correlate with any CHHA boundary description change made in CCME Policy 12.2.5. 2 FL UE SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES Planning Horizon Issue: Revise the various planning horizons in the GMP to be consistent. Designation /Distriet/Subdistrict Relationship: Revise throughout to clarify the relationship between Designations, Districts and Subdistricts. Map FLUE -14 Existing Zoning Consistent with FLUE by Policy, Immokalee Area: Delete; replacement map to be adopted into the Immokalee Area Master Plan to correlate with new Policy 6.1.9 in that Master Plan. 3 FLUE SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES GIB Assessment of the Success and Shortcomings and Recommendations for the Future Land Use Element A. Introduction and Background The Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP) establishes the geographic framework for growth and development in Collier County. As such, the FLUE is the most frequently amended portion of the GMP. Since the adoption of the County's 2004 EAR -based Amendments in January 2007, the FLUE has been amended on six occasions. The FLUE includes three major sections: an Overview, the Implementation Section, and a Support Document containing land use data and analysis. The purpose of the Overview is to provide an introduction as to the purpose, basis and underlying concepts and special issues addressed by the FLUE. The Implementation Strategy is where the Element is brought into legal effect. Included within this section are the Goals, Objectives, Policies and the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and correlating Future Land Use Designation Description Section. Collier County's FLUE gives emphasis to the future land use categories (designations) contained in the Future Land Use Designation Description Section of the Implementation Strategy. The Support Document is comprised of land use data and analysis which provides a basis for the Implementation Strategy and serves to meet the requirements of Section 9J- 5.006, Florida Administrative Code, minimum requirements for the FLUE. The overall purpose of the FLUE is to guide decision - making with regard to regulatory, financial and programmatic matters pertaining to land use. This Element controls the location, type, intensity and timing of new or revised uses of land. The land use strategy is closely coordinated with the County's strategy for the provision of public facilities, as described in the Capital Improvements and Public Facility Elements (and Sub - elements) of the GMP and with the strategies to protect and conserve natural resources as found in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element. HB 697 was enacted by the Florida Legislature in 2008, and now, in part, is codified within Ch. 163.3177(6)(a) and (d). It requires the future land use plan to discourage urban sprawl, to be based upon energy- efficient land use patterns and to include greenhouse gas reduction strategies. All of these requirements are addressed in the existing Objectives and Policies within the FLUE, as noted in the assessment below. HB 697 also requires the future land use map to "identify and depict ... energy conservation." Collier County has no energy conservation features, such as the DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center in DeSoto County, to depict on its future land use map. Instead, energy conservation measures occur at a micro scale, e.g. solar panels on individual single family dwellings. B. Objective Analysis OBJECTIVE 1: Unless otherwise permitted in this Growth Management Plan, new or revised uses of land shall be consistent with designations outlined on the Future Land Use Map. The Future Land Use Map and companion Future Land Use Designations, Districts and Sub - districts shall be binding on all Development Orders effective with the adoption of this Growth Management Plan. Standards and permitted uses for each Future Land Use District and Subdistrict are identified in the Designation Description Section. Through the magnitude, location and configuration of its components, the Future Land Use Map is designed to coordinate land use 1 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT 99 with the natural environment including topography, soil and other resources; promote a sound economy; coordinate coastal population densities with the Regional Hurricane Evacuation Plan; and discourage unacceptable levels of urban sprawl. [This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed] Policy Relevance: Policy 1.4: The CONSERVATION Future Land Use Designation shall include a Future Land Use District. Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy has existed in the FLUE since the GMP was adopted in 1989. A District has never been created - or needed - in this Designation. However, the potential remains for a District to be created. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to allow for, but not mandate, the creation of a District (perhaps replace "shall" with "may "). OBJECTIVE 2: The coordination of land uses with the availability of public facilities shall be accomplished through the Concurrency Management System of the Capital Improvements Element and implemented through the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance of the Land Development Code. [This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only, no change is proposed] Policy Relevance: Policy 2.1: The County shall prepare annually the Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) on Public Facilities which shall include a determination of the existing conditions of capital public facilities, determine the remaining available capacity, forecast future needs in the five year capital improvement schedule and identify needed improvements and funding to maintain the level of service adopted in Policy 1.1.5 of the Capital Improvements Element Policv Achievement Analysis: The annual preparation of an AUIR continues to be a valuable tool for Collier County. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to correct the CIE Policy reference. Policy 2.4 Pursuant to Rule 9J- 5.0055(6)(a) 3., Florida Administrative Code and the Urban Infill and Urban Redevelopment Strategy contained in this Element, development located within the South U.S. 41 Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) (See Map TR-4) may be exempt from transportation concurrency requirements, so long as impacts to the transportation system are mitigated using the procedures set forth in Policy 5.5 of the Transportation Element. Developments within the South U.S. 41 TCEA that obtain an exception from concurrency requirements for transportation, pursuant to the certification process described in Transportation Element, Policy 5.5, and that include affordable housing (as per Section 2.06.00 the Collier County Land Development Code, as amended) as part of their plan of development shall not be subject to the Traffic Congestion Density Reduction requirement as contained in the Density Rating System of this Element 2 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT 99 Developments within the Northwest and East - Central TCMAs that meet the requirements of FLUE Policies 6.1 through 6.5, and Transportation Policies 5.7 and 5.8, and that include affordable housing (as per Section 2.06.00 of the Collier County Land Development Code, as amended) as part of their plan of development shall not be subject to the Traffic Congestion Density Reduction requirement as contained in the Density Rating System of this Element. Developments within the South U.S. 41 TCEA that do not obtain certification pursuant to Policy 5.6 of the Transportation Element shall meet all concurrency requirements. Whether or not a concurrency exception is requested, developments shall be subject to a concurrency review for the purpose of reserving capacity for those trips associated with the development and maintaining accurate counts of the remaining capacity on the roadway network. Policy Achievement Analysis: For the most part, the provisions of this Policy remain viable and appropriate. This Policy mostly remains relevant and should be retained but revised. If changes are made to the Density Rating System to delete the Traffic Congestion Area density reduction factor, as proposed later in this FLUE Assessment, then this policy should be revised to delete that reference. Similarly, reference to the affordable housing provision should be deleted if that same change is made to Policy 6.3, as proposed later in this FLUE Assessment. Policy 2.5 The County shall designate Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMA) to encourage compact urban development where an integrated and connected network of roads is in place that provides multiple, viable alternative travel paths or modes for common trips. Performance within each TCMA shall be measured based on the percentage of lane miles meeting the LOS described in Policies 1.3 and 1.4 of the Transportation Element. Standards within TCMAs are provided in Policy 5.8 of the Transportation Element. New Development within each TCMA shall be consistent with the criteria set forth in Objective 6, and Policies 6.1 through 6.5 of this Element. The following Transportation Concurrency Management Areas are hereby designated: 1. Northwest TCMA — This area is bounded by the Collier - Lee County Line on the north side; the west side of the 1 -75 right -of -way on the east side; Pine Ridge Road on the south side; and, the Gulf of Mexico on the west side (See Map TR -5). 2. East Central TCMA — This area is bounded by Pine Boulevard on the east side; Davis Boulevard on (extended) on the west side (See Map TR -6). Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County has designated both referenced TCMAs. Ridge Road on the north side; Collier the south side, and; Livingston Road This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to reflect the existence of the TCMAs (perhaps replace "shall designate" on first line with "has designated "). OBJECTIVE 4: In order to improve coordination of land uses with natural and historic resources, public facilities, economic development, housing and urban design, the Future Land Use Element shall be continually refined through detailed planning. Future studies might address specific geographic or issue areas. All future studies must be consistent with the Growth Management Plan and further its intent. [This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed] FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Policv Relevance: Policy 4.5: An Industrial Land Use Study has been developed and a summary of the Study has been incorporated into the support document of this Growth Management Plan. The Study includes a detailed inventory of industrial uses, projections of demand for industrial land, and recommendations for future land use allocations and locational criteria. Subsequent to completion of the Economic Element of this Growth Management Plan, adopted in December 2003, staff shall prepare an update to the Industrial Land Use Study. Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy provides historical reference to an Industrial Land Use Study. Collier County has prepared an update to the Study, by updating the Industrial inventory, about every 2 -3 years, depending upon staffing and workload. Such updates should continue to be prepared. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to recognize the periodic update (perhaps replace the last sentence with a commitment to periodically update the inventory). Policy 4.7: The Board of County Commissioners may consider whether to adopt redevelopment plans for existing commercial and residential areas. Such plans may include alternative land uses, modifications to development standards, and incentives that may be necessary to encourage redevelopment. The Bays ho re/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the Board on March 14, 2000; it encompasses the Bayshore Drive corridor and the triangle area formed by US 41 East, Davis Boulevard and Airport- Pulling Road. Other specific areas that may be considered by the Board of County Commissioners for redevelopment include, but are not necessarily limited to: a. Pine Ridge Road, between U.S. 41 North and Goodlette -Frank Road; b. U.S. 41 North in Naples Park; and, c. Bonita Beach Road between Vanderbilt Drive and the west end of Little Hickory Shores #1 Subdivision. Policy Achievement Analysis: The only redevelopment plans approved by the Board are within the boundaries of a CRA (Bayshore /Gateway Triangle and Immokalee). Preparation of redevelopment plans in the future, as may be directed by the Board, remains an appropriate planning opportunity. Omitted from this Policy is reference to the Immokalee Redevelopment Plan. Also, the referenced date is incorrect. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to specify that such a redevelopment plan may only be prepared by the County or its agent unless first approved by the Board, to add reference to the Immokalee Redevelopment Plan, and to correct the date reference. Policy 4.8: Maintain and update, on an annual basis, the following demographic and land use information: existing permanent population, existing seasonal population, projected population, existing dwelling units, and projected dwelling units. Included with this database shall be a forecast of the geographic distribution of anticipated growth. 4 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT 9 Population estimates and projections shall be based upon the most recent population bulletin from the University of Florida's Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR), except where decennial census estimates are available. For the annually updated Capital Ask Improvement Plan, on a continuously rolling basis, population projections shall be calculated for all public facilities using BEBR's medium range growth rate. Population definitions are provided in Policy 1.2 of the Capital Improvement Element. Policy Achievement Anal Collier County prepares the information required by this Policy and should continue to do so. However, the County should evaluate the presently -used geographic distribution areas (Planning Communities) for appropriateness of boundaries. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written. OBJECTIVE 5: In order to promote sound planning, protect environmentally sensitive lands and habitat for listed species while protecting private property rights, ensure compatibility of land uses and further the implementation of the Future Land Use Element, the following general land use policies shall be implemented upon the adoption of the Growth Management Plan. [This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only, no change is proposed] Policy Relevance: Policy 5.3: Discourage unacceptable levels of urban sprawl in order to minimize the cost of community facilities by: confining urban intensity development to areas designated as Urban on the Future Land Use Map; requiring that any changes to the Urban Designated Areas be contiguous to an existing Urban Area boundary; and, encouraging the use of creative land use planning techniques and innovative approaches to development in the County's Agricultural /Rural designated area, which will better serve to protect environmentally sensitive areas, maintain the economic viability of agriculture and other predominantly rural land uses, and provide for cost efficient delivery of public facilities and services. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County implements this Policy through the provisions of the Urban designation as well as the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District and Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to clarify changes to the Urban designation refers to the new designation of lands as Urban (perhaps replace "changes" in the third line with "addition "). Public Comment (Community Meeting- held on 1125110): Public stated, regarding below item at FLUE Policy 5.6 ( "encourage "experimental" zoning ...'), change the TDR program to require use of TDR 's to obtain additional density (cluster housing, guesthouses). Policy 5.14: Public educational plants and ancillary plants: a. Existing public educational plants and ancillary plants: The sites containing existing public educational plants (schools and associated on -site facilities, including sports stadiums, 5 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT 9 B `4 gymnasiums and recreation areas) and ancillary plants (support facilities, including administrative offices, transportation facilities, maintenance yards, and bus barns) are depicted on the Future Land Use Map Series and Public School Facilities Element Map Series. This includes four sites where educational plants have been approved but construction either has not commenced or is not completed. More detailed descriptions or depictions of all of the sites containing these existing educational plants and ancillary plants are contained in the FLUE Support Document. Expansion of these educational plants and ancillary plants on these existing sites, as well as expansions to the sites themselves, are subject to the provisions outlined in the general Interlocal Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and as subsequently amended and restated, with an effective date of December 2008, and subject to the implementing land development regulations to be adopted; and, shall be subject to the School Board Review (SBR) Interlocal Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and subject to the implementing land development regulations. b. Existing sites for future public educational plants: The Collier County School Board has acquired numerous sites for which educational plants are planned for future development; these sites contain no. existing educational plants. These sites are consistent with locational criteria established by the SBR Interlocal Agreement and as contained in the FLUE, GGAMP, or [AMP, as applicable, and are allowed within the existing zoning district on the property. These sites are depicted on the Future Land Use Map Series and Public School Facilities Element Map Series. Development of the mapped sites shall be subject to the provisions of the general Interlocal Agreement adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and as subsequently amended and restated, with an effective date of December 2008, and subject to the implementing land development regulations to be adopted; and, shall be subject to the School Board Review (SBR) Interlocal Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and subject to the implementing land development regulations. c. Existing sites for future public ancillary plants: The Collier County School Board has acquired sites for which ancillary plants are planned for future development; these sites contain no existing ancillary plants. These sites are consistent with locational criteria established by the SBR Interlocal Agreement and as contained in the FLUE, GGAMP, or IAMP, as applicable, and are allowed within the existing zoning district on the property. These sites are depicted on the Future Land Use Map Series and Public School Facilities Element Map Series. Development of the mapped sites shall be subject to the provisions of the general Interlocal Agreement adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and as subsequently amended and restated, with an effective date of December 2008, and subject to the implementing land development regulations to be adopted; and, shall be subject to the School Board Review (SBR) Interlocal Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and subject to the implementing land development regulations. d. Future sites for public educational plants and ancillary plants: As additional sites for educational plants and ancillary plants are acquired by the Collier County School Board and deemed to be consistent with the FLUE, GGAMP, or [AMP, as applicable, and allowed by existing zoning on the site, these sites will be added to the Future Land Use Map Series and Public School Facilities Element Map Series, as provided for in the general Interlocal Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and as subsequently amended and restated, with an effective date of December 2008, and subject to the implementing land development regulations to be adopted; and, shall be subject to and the School Board 6 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Review (SBR) Interlocal Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners. Future development of these sites will be subject to the provisions of the aforementioned general Interlocal Agreement and SBR Interlocal Agreement, and subject to the implementing land development regulations. Prior to site acquisition, the Collier County School District will provide notification to property owners as follows: 1) for sites located within the Urban Designated Area of the Future Land Use Element of the Growth Management Plan, notices shall be sent to all owners of property within 500 linear feet of the property lines of the site under consideration for acquisition; 2) for sites not located within the Urban Designated Area of the FLUE of the Growth Management Plan, notices shall be sent to all owners of property within 1,000 linear feet of the property lines of the site under consideration for acquisition. At the public hearing to consider the land acquisition, all public commentary received as a result of these notices will be provided to the Collier County School Board. e. Zoning district provisions for future educational plants: Except to the extent that such would be in conflict with the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District adopted on June 19, 2002, or the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay adopted on October 22, 2002, all future educational plants shall be allowed in zoning districts as follows: (1) Educational plants are prohibited in the Residential Tourist (RT), Golf Course (GC), Conservation (CON), Travel Trailer Recreational Vehicle Campground (TTRVC), Business Park (BP), and Industrial (1) zoning districts. (2) Educational plants are permitted by right in all other zoning districts. However, for a high school facility to be located in any residential zoning district, or Estates (E) zoning district, or residential component of a PUD, a formal compatibility review and determination is required, as set forth in the general Interlocal Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and as subsequently amended and restated, with an effective date of December 2008, and the School Board Review (SBR) Interlocal Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners. f. Zoning district provisions for future ancillary plants: Except to the extent that such would be in conflict with the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District adopted on June 19, 2002, or the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay adopted on October 22, 2002, all future ancillary plants shall be allowed in zoning districts as follows: (1) Ancillary plants are prohibited in the Residential Single Family (RSF -1 through RSF -6), Mobile Home (MH), Travel Trailer Recreational Vehicle Campground (TTRVC), Golf Course (GC), and Conservation (CON) zoning districts. (2) Ancillary plants are permitted by right in the General Commercial (C -4), Heavy Commercial (C -5), and Industrial (1) zoning districts. (3) Ancillary plants are permitted by conditional use approval in all other zoning districts. Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy recognizes and implements the two Inter -local Agreements adopted in 2003 by the BCC and Collier County School Board. Since then, one of the Agreements has been superseded (adopted in 2008 along with the Public School Facilities Element), the other one has expired and its replacement is presently being negotiated. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised as necessary to reflect the changed status and contents of the Agreements as well as any changes necessary to correlate with the Public School Facilities Element. 7 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT 9 B Objective 6 Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMAs) are geographically compact areas designated in local government comprehensive plans where intensive development exists, or such development is planned. New development within a TCMA shall occur in a manner that will ensure an adequate level of mobility (as defined in Policy 5.8 of the Transportation Element) and further the achievement of the following identified important state planning goals and policies: discouraging the proliferation of urban sprawl, protecting natural resources, protecting historic resources, maximizing the efficient use of existing public facilities, and promoting public transit, bicycling, walking and other alternatives to the single occupant automobile. Transportation Concurrency Management Areas are hereby established in the specific geographic areas described in Policy 2.5 of this Element. Objective Achievement Analysis: _ TCMAs remain a viable transportation management tool. This Objective is still appropriate, all the more so given the requirements and direction of HB 697 enacted by the Florida Legislature in 2008. This Objective remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to reference the establishment of TCMAs in past tense (perhaps replace "are hereby" in the last sentence with "have been "). Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 1125110).- Public stated County should reserve right -of -way for light rail. Policy Relevance: Policy 6.3: In order to be exempt from link specific concurrency, new residential development or redevelopment within Collier County's designated Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMAs) shall utilize at least two of the following Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies, as may be applicable: a) Including neighborhood commercial uses within a residential project. b) Providing transit shelters within the development (must be coordinated with Collier County Transit). c) Providing bicycle and pedestrian facilities, with connections to abutting commercial properties. d) Including affordable housing (minimum of 25% of the units) within the development. e) Vehicular access to abutting commercial properties. Policy Achievement Analysis: This Policy is mostly still appropriate, all the more so given the.requirements and direction of HB 697 enacted by the Florida Legislature in 2008. The need for affordable housing is greatly lessened so paragraph d) is no longer appropriate. This Policy remains mostly relevant and should be retained, but paragraph e) should be revised to begin with a verb so as to follow the sentence structure (perhaps add "Providing" before "Vehicular "), paragraph d) should be deleted, and a correlating change should be made to Transportation Element Policy 5.5. OBJECTIVE 7 In an effort to support the Dover, Kohl & Partners publication, Toward Better Places: The Community Character Plan for Collier County, Florida, promote smart growth policies, and adhere to the existing development character of Collier County, the following policies shall be implemented for new development and redevelopment projects, where applicable. FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT 98 Objective Achievement Analysis: The direction provided by this Objective is still appropriate, all the more so given the requirements and direction of HB 697 enacted by the Florida Legislature in 2008. Comprehensive Planning staff reviews all rezone and conditional use petitions for compliance with the Policies under this Objective. This Objective remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to reference reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (perhaps add "reduce greenhouse gas emissions," on the second line after "policies, ". Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 1125110): Public stated encourage smart growth principles — mixed use, urban infill, walkable communities, alternate transportation modes, and more green space. Policy Relevance: Policy 7.3 All new and existing developments shall be encouraged to connect their local streets and their interconnection points with adjoining neighborhoods or other developments regardless of land use type. Policy Achievement Analysis: The direction provided by this Policy is still appropriate, all the more so given the requirements and direction of HB 697 enacted by the Florida Legislature in 2008. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised for proper wording as connecting interconnection points is nonsensical (perhaps replace "and their interconnection points" with "and/or provide interconnection(s)." Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 3115110): Public stated stress interconnection and continuity. Policy 7.7 The Community Development and Environmental Services Division will continue to research smart growth practices in an effort to improve the future of Collier County by specifically addressing land use and transportation planning techniques for inclusion in future land development regulations. Policy Achievement Analysis: The direction provided by this Policy is still appropriate, all the more so given the requirements and direction of HB 697 enacted by the Florida Legislature in 2008. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to update the Division name to reflect 2010 reorganization. C. Future Land Use Designation Description — Assessment of Select Provisions In addition to the above Assessment of FLUE GOPs, staff provides below an Assessment of select portions of the Future Land Use Designation Description Section. Urban Designation, Density Rating System Residential Infiil To encourage residential in -fill in areas of existing urban development outside of the Coastal High Hazard Area, a maximum of 3 residential dwelling units per gross acre may be added if the following criteria are met: 9 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT �i (a) The project is 20 acres or less in size; (b) At time of development, the project will be served by central public water and sewer; (c) The project is compatible with surrounding land uses; (d) The property in question has no common site development plan with adjacent property; (e) There is no common ownership with any adjacent parcels; (f) The parcel in question was not created to take advantage of the in -fill residential density bonus and was created before the adoption of this provision in the Growth Management Plan on January 10, 1989; (g) Of the maximum 3 additional units, one (1) dwelling unit per acre shall be transferred from Sending Lands; and, (h) Projects qualifying under this provision may increase the density administratively by a maximum of one dwelling unit per acre by transferring that additional density from Sending Lands. Provision Analysis: In the FLUE, the system currently contains both density bonuses and a density reduction. Within most parts of the Urban Area, the base (or minimum) eligible residential density (i.e., the number of units allowed per acre) is four units per gross acre and the maximum eligible density is 16 units per acre, with one exception; eligible density is not an entitlement. This system allows a residential project, or the residential portion of a mixed -use project, to request increased residential density above the base density, or to lose density, if the project meets certain criteria. There are seven density bonus provisions and one density reduction provision. A project may, or may not, be eligible for any number or combination of these bonuses. The Residential Infill bonus has existed since the GMP was adopted in 1989 and has been used numerous times. However, as part of the Rural Fringe GMP amendments adopted in 2002, this bonus provision was modified to increase the eligible property size from 10 to 20 acres, and to add the requirement that part of the density bonus be derived from TDR credits obtained from RFMUD Sending Lands. The purpose of requiring TDR credits was to help insure the success of the TDR program. It has not worked; since the 2002 amendment, this bonus provision has rarely been used — perhaps once or twice. Though the purpose for requiring use of TDR credits remains valid, that requirement has stifled the use of this bonus provision intended to encourage ill development. Staff and the Planning Commission recommend the TDR requirement be eliminated. However, the Board of County Commissioners determined this provision should remain unchanged. Urban Designation, Density Rating System Traffic Congestion Area: If the project lies within the Traffic Congestion Area, an area identified as subject to long range traffic congestion, one dwelling unit per gross acre would be subtracted from the eligible base density of four dwelling units per acre. The Traffic Congestion Boundary is shown on the Future Land Use Map and consists of the western coastal Urban Designated Area seaward of a boundary marked by Airport- Pulling Road (including an extension north to the Lee County boundary.) Davis Boulevard, County Barn Road, and Rattlesnake Hammock Road consistent with the Mixed Use Activity Center's residential density band located at the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Rattlesnake Hammock Road and County Road 951 (including an extension to the east, but exclusive of the outlying Urban designated areas of Copeland, Port of the Islands, Plantation Island, and Chokoloskee). Properties adjacent to the Traffic Congestion Area shall be considered part of the Traffic Congestion Area if their only access is to a road forming the boundary of the Area; however, if that property also has an access point to a road not forming the boundary of the Traffic the Traffic Congestion Area it will not be 10 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT subject to the density reduction. Furthermore, the density reduction shall not apply to developments located within the South U.S. 41 TCEA (as identified within Transportation Element, Map TR-4, and Transportation Element Policies 5.5 and 5.6, and FLUE Policy 2.4) that obtain an exception from concurrency requirements for transportation, pursuant to the certification process described in Transportation Element Policy 5.6, and that include affordable housing (as per Section 2.7.7 of the Collier County Land Development Code, as amended) as part of the plan of development This reduction shall likewise not be applied to developments within the Northwest and East - Central TCMAs that meet the requirements of FLUE Policies 6.1 through 6.5, and Transportation Element Policies 5.7 and 5.8, and that include Affordable Housing (as per Section 2.7.7. of the Collier County Land Development Code, as amended) as part of the plan of development Provision Analysis: The Traffic Congestion Area, which is depicted on the FLUM, is the only density reduction provision in the FLUE. If a proposed rezoning project is within the Traffic Congestion Area, defined as "an area identified as subject to long range traffic congestion," one dwelling unit per gross acre is deducted. The Traffic Congestion Area density reduction has existed since the GMP was adopted in 1989. It was intended as a means of reducing long -range traffic impacts of new development within that portion of the coastal urban area that was considered to be subject to traffic congestion in the long term; due to physical and social constraints in this area, construction of new major roads and significant widening of existing roads would not be possible. However, it has not been successful in limiting density because the Density Rating System includes various density bonuses that are applicable within this area, thereby allowing the 1 DU /A density reduction to be counteracted. Also, many projects, especially larger ones, do not build out at their approved density; therefore the desired lower density may result without this regulatory feature. Finally, Transportation staff has since determined this density reduction is not needed. The County has adopted a "checkbook" concurrency system that, in many ways, obviates the need for the Traffic Congestion reduction factor. For these reasons, staff proposes deletion of this provision — as was previously proposed in the 2004 EAR. Also as proposed in the 2004 EAR, staff recommends a new density reduction factor be added in place of the Traffic Congestion Area - a Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) density reduction factor for properties lying within the CHHA. The CHHA, depicted on the FLUM, is, as would be expected, more closely related to reduction of hurricane evacuation impacts, a concern for all coastal communities. Also, a CHHA density reduction factor would not be as much of a disincentive to urban infill as it would incorporate a smaller portion of the urban area — the CHHA is smaller than the Traffic Congestion Area. Staff and the Planning Commission recommend the Traffic Congestion Area density reduction factor be deleted and replaced with a Coastal High Hazard Area density reduction factor and so reflected on the FLUM; that correlating changes be made to all GMP references to the Traffic Congestion Area; and, that both the Roadway Access and Proximity to Mixed Use Activity Center or Interchange Activity Center (residential density bands) bonuses be revised to replace reference to Traffic Congestion Area with CHHA reference; and, revise the Conversion of Commercial Bonus to prohibit its application within the CHHA. The Affordable- Workforce Housing Density Bonus would continue to apply within the CHHA. The Board of County Commissioners concurred, except that they determined the Affordable- Workforce Housing Density Bonus provision also should be prohibited within the CHHA. 11 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT [Recommendation from October 8 2010 Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Comments to the DCA on Proposed EAR (Comment 414): "Please provide analyses to establish the impact of deleting the Traffic Congestion Area Density reduction factor and replacing it with the Coastal High Hazard Area reduction factor Should substantial additional development occur from this amendment, the department recommends that an Area Wide Traffic Study be conducted and supporting documentation provided to establish that adequate capacity will be available for new trips that will impact state facilities for the long -term horizon year and short -term year 2015 conditions. " Collier County response: There are approximately 480 acres of land zoned A, Rural Agricultural that could potentially be rezoned to residential zoning districts within the area presently encompassed by the Traffic Congestion Area that would no longer be if the recommended amendment was adopted; this would yield a potential density increase of 806 dwelling units. However, it is reasonable to assume that not all of this land will be rezoned to residential zoning districts, rather some may be developed under the "A" zoning district which allows a variety of institutional uses (child care center, church, nursing home, private school, social and fraternal organizations, retail plant nursery, etc.) and essential services (fire /police /emergency medical service stations, public parks, government offices, etc.), and some may rezone to residential at a density not utilizing this amendment. Assuming a 75% rezone rate utilizing the increased density allowance, the potential density increase of the recommended amendment would be 605 DUs. Based upon property locations, these DUs could be distributed throughout the affected area, from along US 41 North near the Lee County line to east of Collier Blvd. along US 41 East. Urban Designation, Urban Commercial District, Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict (partial excerpt) Mixed Use Activity Centers have been designated on the Future Land Use Map Series identified in the Future Land Use Element. The locations are based on intersections of major roads and on spacing criteria. When this Plan was originally adopted in 1989, there were 21 Activity Centers. There are now 19 Activity Centers, listed below, which comprise approximately 3,000 acres; this includes 3 Interchange Activity Centers ( #4, 9, 10) which will be discussed separately under the Interchange Activity Center Subdistrict. Two Activity Centers, #19 and 21, have been deleted as they are now within the incorporated City of Marco Island. # 1 Immokalee Road and Airport- Pulling Road # 2 US 41 and Immokalee Road # 3 Immokalee Road and Collier Boulevard # 4 1 -75 and Immokalee Road (Interchange Activity Center) # 5 US 41 and Vanderbilt Beach Road # 6 Davis Boulevard and Santa Barbara Boulevard # 7 Rattlesnake- Hammock Road and Collier Boulevard # 8 Airport- Pulling Road and Golden Gate Parkway # 9 1 -75 and Collier Boulevard and Davis Boulevard (Interchange Activity Center) #10 1 -75 and Pine Ridge Road (Interchange Activity Center) #11 Vanderbilt Beach Road and Airport- Pulling Road #12 US 41 and Pine Ridge Road #13 Airport- Pulling Road and Pine Ridge Road #14 Goodlette -Frank Road and Golden Gate Parkway #15 Golden Gate Parkway and Coronado Boulevard #16 US 41 and Airport- Pulling Road #17 US 41 and Rattlesnake- Hammock Road #18 US 41 and Collier Boulevard #20 US 41 and Wiggins Pass Road 12 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT The Mixed -Use Activity Center concept is designed to concentrate almost all new commercial zoning in locations where traffic impacts can readily be accommodated, to avoid strip and „ disorganized patterns of commercial development, and to create focal points within the community. Mixed Use Activity Centers are intended to be mixed -use in character. Further, they are generally intended to be developed at a human - scale, to be pedestrian- oriented, and to be interconnected with abutting projects — whether commercial or residential. Street, pedestrian pathway and bike lane interconnections with abutting properties, where possible and practicable, are encouraged. Allowable land uses in Mixed Use Activity Centers include the full array of commercial uses, residential uses, institutional uses, hotellmotel uses at a maximum density of 26 units per acre, community facilities, and other land uses as generally allowed in the Urban designation. The actual mix of the various land uses shall be determined during the rezoning process based on consideration of the factors listed below. Except as restricted below under the provision for Master Planned Activity Centers, all Mixed Use Activity Centers may be developed with any of the land uses allowed within this Subdistrict. For residential -only development, if a project is located within the boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center which is not within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict or Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict, up to 16 residential units per grow acre may be permitted. If such a project is located within the boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center which is within the Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict, the eligible density shall be limited to four dwelling units per acre, except as allows by the density rating system. If such a project is located within the boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center which is within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict, eligible density shall be as allowed by that Subdistrict. For a residential -only project located partially within and partially outside of an Activity Center, the density accumulated from the Activity Center portion of the project may be distributed throughout the project. Mixed -use developments - whether consisting of residential units located above commercial uses, in an attached building, or in a freestanding building - are allowed and encouraged within Mixed Use Activity Centers. Density for such a project is calculated based upon the gross project acreage within the Activity Center. If such a project is located within the boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center which is not within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict and is not within the Coastal High Hazard Area, the eligible density is sixteen dwelling units per acre. If such a project is located within the boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center that is not within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict but is within the Coastal High Hazard Area, the eligible density shall be limited to four dwelling units per acre. If such a project is located within the boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center which is within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict, eligible density shall be as allowed by that Subdistrict. For a project located partially within and partially outside of an Activity Center, and the portion within an Activity Center is developed as mixed use, some of the density accumulated from the Activity Center portion of the project may be distributed to that portion of the project located outside of the Activity Center. In order to promote compact and walkable mixed use projects, where the density from a mixed use project is distributed outside the Activity Center boundary: (1) the mixed use component of the project within the Activity Center shall include a minimum of thirty percent (30 %) of the Activity Center - accumulated density; (2) the dwelling units distributed outside the Activity Center shall be located within one third (1/3) of a mile of the Activity Center boundary; and, 13 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT N Fez (3) the portion of the project within the Activity Center shall be developed at a human scale, be pedestrian- oriented, and be interconnected with the remaining portion of the project with pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Provision Analysis: Mixed Use Activity Centers (MUAC) allow almost all land uses (industrial uses are excluded) - the full array of commercial uses, mixed use (residential and commercial), residential uses, agricultural uses, community facility uses, essential services, etc. Most MUACs allow residential -only projects at the highest density allowed by the FLUE (16 DU /A), including most of the CHHA; the exception is those portions of MUACs within the Urban Coastal Fringe are capped at 4 DU /A. However, mixed use projects within the CHHA are capped at 4 DU /A. Further, the allowance for 16 DU /A is in contrast with most density bonus provisions which are not applicable within the CHHA, and the remaining ones that are proposed to be revised so as not to be applicable in the CHHA. Given the longstanding and continuing concern for development, especially residential, within the CHHA, CHHA density should be consistently limited. The County recommends the allowable density for residential -only projects within the CHHA be reduced to a maximum of 4 DU /A, the same as for mixed use projects. Urban Designation, Urban Commercial District, Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict (partial excerpt) Master Planned Activity Centers Any of the five Mixed Use Activity Centers fisted below may be designated as a Master Planned Activity Center. A Master Planned Activity Center is one which has a unified plan of development in the form of a. Planned Unit Development, Development of Regional Impact or an area -wide Development of Regional Impact. Property owners within such Mixed Use Activity Centers shall be required to utilize the Master Planned Activity Center process, as provided below. # 2 US 41 and Immokalee Road # 3 Immokalee Road and Collier Boulevard #.5 US 41 and Vanderbilt Beach Road # 7 Rattlesnake- Hammock Road and Collier Boulevard #14 Goodlette -Frank Road and Golden Gate Parkway In recognition of the benefit resulting from the coordination of planned land uses and coordinated access points to the public road network, Master Planned Activity Centers are encouraged through the allowance of flexibility in the boundaries, and thus location of uses permitted within a designated Mixed Use Activity Center. The boundaries of Master Planned Activity Centers depicted on the Future Land Use Map Series are understood to be flexible and subject to modification as provided for below. However, the acreage within the reconfigured Activity Center shall not exceed that within the existing Activity Center. The actual mix of land uses shall be determined using the criteria for other Mixed Use Activity Centers. All of the following criteria must be met for a project to qualify as a Master Planned Activity Center: 1. The applicant shall have unified control of the majority of a quadrant in a designated Activity Center. Majority of the quadrant shall be defined as at least 51% of the privately owned land within any Activity Center quadrant. However, if a property owner has less than 51% ownership within a quadrant, that property owner may still request a rezoning under the provisions of a Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict subject to the maximum acreage allowed in Paragraph 2 below. Property owners with less than 51% ownership are encouraged to incorporate vehicular and pedestrian accesses with adjacent properties 14 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT 9B within the Activity Center. Any publicly owned land within the quadrant will be excluded from acreage calculations to determine unified control. 2. The allowable land uses for a Master Planned Activity Center shall be the same as for other designated Activity Centers; however, a Master Planned Activity Center encompassing the majority of the property in two or more quadrants shall be afforded the flexibility to redistribute a part or all of the allocation from one quadrant to another, to the extent of the unified control. The maximum amount of commercial uses allowed at Activity Center #3 (Immokalee Road and Collier Boulevard) is 40 acres per quadrant for a total of 160 acres maximum in the entire Activity Center; the balance of the land area shall be, limited to non- commercial uses as allowed in Mixed Use Activity Centers. The maximum amount of commercial uses allowed at Activity Center #7 (Rattlesnake Hammock Road and Collier Boulevard) is 40 acres per quadrant, except that the northeast quadrant may have a total of 59 acres, for a total of 179 acres maximum in the entire Activity Center; the balance of the land area shall be limited to non - commercial uses as allowed in Mixed Use Activity Centers. With respect to the +/- 19 acres in the northeast quadrant of Activity Center #7, said acreage lying adjacent to the east of the Hammock Park Commerce Center PUD, commercial development (exclusive of the allowed "1/4 mile support medical uses ") shall be limited to a total of 185,000 square feet of the following uses: personal indoor self - storage facilities — this use shall occupy no greater than 50% of the total (185,000) building square feet; offices for various contractor /builder construction trade specialists inclusive of the offices of related professional disciplines and services that typically serve those construction businesses or otherwise assist in facilitating elements of a building and related infrastructure, including but not limited to architects, engineers, land surveyors and attorneys — these offices of related professional disciplines and services shall occupy no greater than 50% of the total (185,000) building square feet; warehouse space for various contractor /builder construction trades occupants; mortgage and land title companies; related businesses including but not limited to lumber and other building materials dealers, paint, glass, and wallpaper stores, garden supply stores — all as accessory uses only, accessory to offices for various contractorlbuilder construction trade specialists or accessory to warehouse space for various contractor /builder construction trades occupants; management associations of various types of buildings or provision of services to buildings /properties; and, fitness centers. Activity Center #14 (Good lette-F rank Road and Golden Gate Parkway) shall have a maximum of 45 acres for commercial use, the balance of the land uses shall be limited to non - commercial uses as allowed in Mixed Use Activity Centers. 3. The location and configuration of all land uses within a Master Planned Activity Center shall be compatible with and related to existing site features, surrounding development, and existing natural and manmade constraints. Commercial uses shall be oriented so as to provide coordinated and functional transportation access to major roadways serving the Activity Center, and functionally related or integrated with surrounding land uses and the planned transportation network. 4. Adjacent properties within the Activity Center that are not under the unified control of the applicant shall be considered and appropriately incorporated (i.e. pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular interconnections) into the applicant's Master Plan. Provision Analysis: The Master Planned Activity Center provision is an example of "legislation on the fly" (it was mostly written at and during a public hearing) — it is poorly written and confusing. The County recommends this Master Planned Activity Center provision be rewritten for clarity, and possible substantive change, likely to include reorganization/restructuring of the provision. 15 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Agricultural /Rural Designation, Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (select excerpts) The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District is identified on Future Land Use Map. This District consists of approximately 93,600 acres, or 7% of Collier County's total land area. Significant portions of this District are adjacent to the Urban area or to the semi- rural, rapidly developing, large -lot North Golden Gate Estates platted lands. Agricultural land uses within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District do not represent a significant portion of the County's active agricultural lands. As of the date of adoption of this Plan Amendment, the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District consists of more than 5,550 tax parcels, and includes at least 3,835 separate and distinct property owners. Alternative land use strategies have been developed for the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, in part, to consider these existing conditions. The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District provides a transition between the Urban and Estates Designated lands and between the Urban and Agricultural /Rural and Conservation designated lands farther to the east. The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District employs a balanced approach, including both regulations and incentives, to protect natural resources and private property rights, providing for large areas of open space, and allowing, in .designated areas, appropriate types, density and intensity of development. The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District allows for a mixture of urban and rural levels of service, including limited extension of central water and sewer, schools, recreational facilities, commercial uses and essential services deemed necessary to serve the residents of the District. In order to preserve existing natural resources, including habitat for listed species, to retain a rural, pastoral, or park -like appearance from the major public rights -of -way within this area, and to protect private property rights, the following innovative planning and development techniques are required and /or encouraged within the District. * ** * ** * ** *** break * ** * ** Sending Lands: Sending Lands are those lands that have the highest degree of environmental value and sensitivity and generally include significant wetlands, uplands, and habitat for listed species. 7. Permitted Uses: Permitted uses are limited to the following: a) Agricultural uses consistent with Chapter 823.14(6) Florida Statutes (Florida Right to Farm Act) b) Detached single - family dwelling units, including mobile homes where the Mobile Home Zoning Overlay exists, at a maximum density of one dwelling unit per 40 acres or one dwelling unit per lot or parcel of less than 40 acres, which existed on or before June 22, 1999. For the purpose of this provision, a lot or parcel which is deemed to have been in existence on or before June 22, 1999 is 1) a lot or parcel which is part of a subdivision recorded in the public records of Collier County, Florida; or 2) a lot or parcel which has limited fixed boundaries, described by metes and bounds or other specific legal description, the description of which has been recorded in the public records of Collier County Florida on or before June 22, 1999; or 3) a lot or parcel which has limited fixed boundaries, for which an agreement for deed was executed prior to June 22, 1999. c) Habitat preservation and conservation uses. d) Passive parks and other passive recreational uses. e) Sporting and Recreational camps, within which the lodging component shall not exceed 1 unit per 5 gross acres. f) Essential Services necessary to serve permitted uses identified in Section 5.a) through 5.e) such as the following: private wells and septic tanks; utility lines, except sewer lines; sewer lines and lift stations, only if located within non -NRPA Sending Lands, and only if located within already cleared portions of existing rights -of -way or easements, 16 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT 9 and if necessary to serve the Rural Transition. Water and Sewer District; and, water pumping stations necessary to serve the Rural Transition Water and Sewer District. g) Essential Services necessary to ensure public safety. h) Oil and gas exploration. Where practicable, directional - drilling techniques and /or previously cleared or disturbed areas shall be utilized to minimize impacts to native habitats. Conditional Uses: a) The following uses are conditionally permitted subject to approval through a public hearing process: (1) Essential services not identified above in 4f). Within one year, Collier County will review essential services currently allowed in the Land Development Code and will define those uses intended to be conditionally permitted in Sending designated lands. During this one -year period or if necessary until a comprehensive plan amendment identifying conditionally permitted essential services, no conditional uses for essential services within Sending designated lands shall be approved. (2) Public facilities, including solid waste and resource recovery facilities, and public vehicle and equipment storage and repair facilities, shall be permitted within Section 25, Township 49S, Range 26E, on lands adjacent to the existing County landfill. This shall not be interpreted to allow for the expansion of the landfill into Section 25 for the purpose of solid waste disposal. (3) Commercial uses accessory to permitted uses 4.a), 4.c) and 4.d), such as retail sales of produce accessory to farming, or a restaurant accessory to a park or preserve, so long as restrictions or limitations are imposed to insure the commercial use functions as an accessory, subordinate use. *** * * ** break *** * ** * ** * ** * ** Exemptions from the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District Development Standards — The requirements of this District shall not apply to, affect or limit the continuation of existing uses. Existing uses shall include: those uses for which all required permits were issued prior to June 19, 2002; or projects for which a ' Conditional use or Rezone petition has been approved .by the County prior to June 19, 2002; or, land use petitions for which a completed application has been submitted prior to June 19, 2002. The continuation of existing uses shall include expansions of those uses if such expansions are consistent with or clearly ancillary to the existing uses. Hereafter, such previously approved developments shall be deemed to be consistent with the Plan's Goals, Objectives and Policies and for the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, and they may be built out in accordance with their previously approved plans. Changes to these previous approvals shall also be deemed to be consistent with the Plan's Goals, Policies and Objectives for the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District as long as they do not result in an increase in development density or intensity. Provision Analysis: The RFMUD - its allowance of uses, TDR program, etc. - was created to apply to lands zoned A, Rural Agricultural. However, there are some lands with non -A zoning, including GC, Golf Course; TTRVC, Travel Trailer Recreational Vehicle; PUD, Planned Unit Development; VF, Village Residential; MH, Mobile Home; RSF -3, Residential Single Family; C -2, Convenience Commercial; and, C -3, Intermediate Commercial. For some of these non -A zoning districts, to allow or only allow the uses and densities of the RFMUD would be in conflict with the underlying zoning district and would grant additional uses not allowed by underlying zoning or prohibit uses that are allowed by underlying zoning (e.g. RFMUD Neutral Lands would allow residential and agricultural uses whereas C -2 doesn't allow those uses and would not allow commercial uses whereas C -2 allows various commercial uses). 17 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT To apply the RFMUD regulations to non -A zoning would not only open the County to potential Bert Hams Act claims, it just wouldn't make sense — the uses of the RFMUD do not correlate to the development standards of the non -A zoning districts. Similarly, to apply the TDR program to non -A zoned lands is nonsensical. The RFMUD Sending Lands originally included only the provision for base TDR credits. However, via a subsequent GMP amendment, various bonus credits were added. However, in doing so, the necessary correlating renumbering of cross - references within subparagraphs 71 and 8.a.(1) and (3) did not occur (to change "5" to "7" and "4" to "7," respectively). The "Exemption" provision at the end of the RFMUD is a grandfathering provision for existing uses. Part of that provision allows for the expansion of existing uses ( "The continuation of existing uses shall include expansions of those uses if such expansions are consistent with or clearly ancillary to the existing uses. "). This language needs to be revised so as to clearly reflect the intent to allow for on- site expansion, not expansion onto lands not part of the existing use. Also, the title of this provision incorrectly refers to development standards whereas the provision itself applies to the RFMUD in its entirety. The County recommends the RFMUD be revised to clarify that it only applies to A -zoned lands; to correct a miss- numbering from a past amendment to the RFMUD Sending Lands designation; and, to clarify the applicability of "expansion" and delete unneeded text from the Exemption provision title. Overlays and Special Features, Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Overlay The Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Overlay, depicted on the Future Land Use Map, is within the boundaries of the Bays hore/G ateway Triangle Redevelopment Plan adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on March 14, 2000. The intent of the redevelopment program is to encourage the revitalization of the Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area by providing incentives that will encourage the private sector to invest in this urban area. This Overlay allows for additional neighborhood commercial uses and higher residential densities that will promote the assembly of commercial uses and higher residential densities that will promote the assembly of property, or joint ventures between property owners, while providing interconnections between properties and neighborhoods. The intent of this Overlay is to allow for more intense development in an urban area where urban services are available. One or more zoning overlays will be adopted into the Collier County Land Development Code to aid in the implementation of this Overlay. The following provisions and restrictions apply to this Overlay: 1. Mixed -Use Development: Mix of residential and commercial uses are permitted. For such development, commercial uses are limited to C -1 through C -3 zoning district uses plus hotel /motel use. Mixed -use projects will be pedestrian oriented and are encouraged to provide access (vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle) to nearby residential areas. The intent is to encourage pedestrian use of the commercial area and to provide opportunity for nearby residents to access these commercial uses without traveling onto major roadways. Parking facilities are encouraged to be located in the rear of the buildings with the buildings oriented closer to the major roadway to promote traditional urban development. 2. Residential uses are allowed within this Overlay. Permitted density shall be as determined through application of the Density Rating System, and applicable FLUE Policies, except as provided below and except as may be limited by a zoning overlay. 3. Non - residential /non- commercial uses allowed within this Overlay include essential services; parks, recreation and open space uses; water- dependent and water - related uses; child care centers; community facility uses; safety service facilities; and utility and communication facilities. 18 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT 9 Eli, 4. Properties with access to US-41 East are allowed a maximum density of 12 residential units per acre. In order to be eligible for this higher density, the project must be integrated into a mixed -use development with access to existing neighborhoods and adjoining commercial properties and comply with the standards identified in Paragraph #8, below, except for mixed use projects developed within the "mini triangle" catalyst project site as identified on the Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Overlay Map. The "mini triangle" project site is eligible for the maximum density of 12 units per acre, with development standards as contained in the Gateway Triangle Mixed Use District zoning overlay, adopted February 28, 2006 (Ordinance No. 06 -08), and amended December 14, 2006 (Ordinance No. 06 -63). For projects that do not comply with the requirements for this density increase, their density is limited to that allowed by the Density Rating System and applicable FLUE Policies, except as may be limited by a future zoning overlay. 5. Properties with access to Bayshore Drive, are allowed a maximum density of 12 residential units per acre. In order to be eligible for this higher density, the project must be integrated into a mixed -use development with access to existing neighborhoods and adjoining commercial properties and must comply with the standards identified in Paragraph #8, below. For projects that do not comply with the requirements for this density increase, their density is limited to that allowed by the Density Rating System and applicable FLUE Policies, except as may be limited by a future zoning overlay. 6. For parcels currently within the boundaries of Mixed Use Activity Center #16, land uses will continue to be governed by the Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict. A zoning overlay may be developed for these properties within the Mixed Use Activity Center to provide specific development standards. 7. Existing zoning districts for some properties within the Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Overlay allow uses, densities and development standards that are inconsistent with the uses, densities and development standards allowed within this Overlay. These properties are allowed to develop and redevelop in accordance with their existing zoning until such time as a zoning overlay is adopted which may limit such uses, densities and development standards. 8. To qualify for 12 dwelling units per acre, as provided for in paragraphs #4 and #5 above, mixed use projects within the Bays h ore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Overlay must comply with the following standards: a. Buildings containing only commercial uses are limited to a maximum height of three stories. b. Buildings containing only residential uses are limited to a maximum height of three stories except such buildings are allowed a maximum height of four stories if said residential buildings are located in close proximity to US -41. c. Buildings containing mixed use (residential uses over commercial uses) are limited to a maximum height of four stories. d. Hotels /motels will be limited to a maximum height of four stories. e. For purposes of this Overlay, each building story may be up to 14 feet in height. f. For mixed -use buildings, commercial uses are permitted on the first two stories only. g. Each building containing commercial uses only is limited to a maximum building footprint of 20,000 square feet gross floor area. h. One or more zoning overlays may be adopted which may include more restrictive standards than listed above in Paragraphs a -g. 9. For all properties outside of the Coastal High Hazard Area, any eligible density bonuses, as provided in the Density Rating System, are in addition to the eligible density provided herein. However, for properties within the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA), only the affordable - workforce housing density bonus, as provided in -the Density Rating System, is allowed in addition to the eligible density provided herein. 19 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT For all properties, the maximum density allowed is that specified under Density Conditions in the Density Rating System. 10. A maximum of 388 dwelling units are permitted to be utilized in this Overlay for density bonuses, as provided in paragraphs #4 and #5 above, for that portion of the Overlay lying within the CHHA only. This 388 dwelling unit density bonus pool corresponds with the number of dwelling units previously entitled to the botanical gardens sites prior to their rezone in 2003 to establish the Naples Botanical Gardens PUD. The "mini triangle" catalyst project is not subject to this density bonus pool. 11. The Botanical Garden, Inc. properties located in Section 23, Township 50 South, Range 25 East, and shown on the Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Overlay Map, shall be limited to non - residential uses except for caretaker, dormitory, and other housing integrally related to the Botanical Garden or other institutional and /or recreational open space uses. Provision Analysis: This provision is intended to promote redevelopment of this area and remains appropriate. In some instances, it can be difficult to understand the applicability of the Overlay provisions as it relates to other FLUE provisions. This provision remains valid and appropriate and should be retained. However, the Overlay and /or related FLUE provisions should be revised to improve clarity, if possible. Overlays and Special Features, Coastal High Hazard Area Policy 12.2.5 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) defines the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA). The CHHA boundary is depicted on the Future Land Use Map; all lands lying seaward of that boundary are within the CHHA. New rezones to permit mobile home development shall not be allowed within the CHHA. The Capital Improvement Element and Conservation and Coastal Management Element both contain policies pertaining to the expenditure of public funds for public facilities within the CHHA. Provision Analysis: Certain provisions within the FLUE, e.g. Density Rating System density bonuses and proposed density reduction factor, specifically do /do not apply within the CHHA. Likewise, certain Objectives and Policies of other Elements have specific applicability to the CHHA. This provision remains valid and should be retained as written. [Comment fi-om the Florida Department of Community (fairs' October 15, 2010 Letter on the Proposed EAR (paragLyph 6): "The proposed EAR does not sufficiently address Section 163.3191(2)(m), F.S. Collier County has coastal high hazard area; however, the proposed EAR does not include an evaluation of whether any past reduction in land use density within the coastal high hazard area impairs the property rights of current residents when redevelopment occurs, and include in such an evaluation the identification of strategies to address redevelopment and the rights of affected residents balanced against public safety considerations. The EAR should be revised to include the evaluation. " Collier Counly response: Collier County has not required a density reduction in the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) since the last (2004) EAR. Further, FLUE Policies 5.1 and 5.9 -5.12, and related Consistent by Policy Maps, allow for development and redevelopment — including within the CHHA — in accordance with zoning on the identified properties. And, the Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Overlay in the FLUE, and on the FLUM, is almost entirely within the CHHA; that Overlay allows for a density increase on eligible properties therein via reallocation of density. 20 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT • tr Objective 3 and Policies in the Capital Improvement Element imposes limitations on the expenditure of public funds within the CHHA, but allows for provision of public infrastructure necessary to serve population density as allowed by the FLUE. Future Land Use Map and Map Series The Future Land Use Map includes a depiction of the CHHA. Provision Analysis: The CHHA is described in CCME Policy 12.2.5. The definition of the CHHA in Florida Statutes changed in 2006 but that Policy has not been revised. Any necessary change to CHHA boundary description in CCME policy 12.2.5 needs to be reflected on the FLUM. The County recommends any changes to the CHHA boundary made in CCME Policy 12.2.5 be reflected on the FLUM depiction of the CHHA boundary. Future Land Use Map and Map Series The Future Land Use Map Series includes a depiction of properties in the Immokalee Area that are deemed Consistent by Policy. Provision Analysis: This map depicts properties within the Immokalee Area Master Plan boundary that were previously determined to be consistent with the FLUE pursuant to policies under Goal 5 of the FLUE. The Immokalee Area Master Plan is being amended (petition CP- 2008 -5) which is expected to result in fewer future land use nonconformities — properties with existing zoning that does not conform to the future land use_ designation. The LAMP will include a new Policy 6.1.9 that is the replacement of FLUE Policy 5.1 for the Immokalee area; that new policy will make reference to these nonconforming properties. A new map will be prepared for adoption into the IAMP depicting these nonconforming properties that are deemed consistent by policy; this will replace the present Consistent By Policy Map for Immokalee. The County recommends this map be deleted; a replacement map will be adopted into the IAMP. Planning Horizon Issue Provision Analvsis: The FLUM is labeled 2006 -2016; future transportation maps are labeled 2025; other planning and/or infrastructure programs have different timelines. There is a need to align the planning horizon within the GMP. The 2007 -2008 combined cycles of GMP amendments, adopted on July 28, 2010, added a new Policy 4.11 in the FLUE, as follows: In the next Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR), due January 1, 2011, Collier County will identify as an issue to be addressed, the need to align dates within the various elements of this growth management plan. This will include, but may not be limited to, the planning time frame for the Future Land Use Map, the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay, and Transportation Element long range maps. Necessary amendments to achieve the alignment of dates will be included in the EAR -based amendments to the Plan. The County recommends revising the various planning horizons to be consistent, perhaps 2025. 21 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Designation /District/Subdistrict Relationship ►9B Provision Analysis: Both the Urban and Agri cultural/Rural Designations contain multiple Districts and Subdistricts. Various uses are allowed under the Designation that may or may not be allowed under each subsequent District or Subdistrict though this is not always readily discernable. The County recommends clarification of the relationship between Designations, Districts and Subdistricts; this may necessitate restructuring parts of the Designation Description section of the FLUE.

Objective: A more specific statement than the stated Goal; describing actions that will help achieve the goal(s), typically beginning with the active verb providing the general direction, such as, "Implement ", "Promote" or "Protect ". Objectives use the term "will" and allow Policies to specifically require an activity with "shall ". Policies: Specific statements that provide directives on how to achieve the objectives and ultimately the Master Plan's goals, typically beginning with phrases like, "The County shall promote... ", "The County shall continue to..." or "The District shall expand..." or similar phrases. Policies use the terms "may" or "shall" to provide specific direction.

GGAMP — Assessment of Select Provisions — 2 GGAMP SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES Estates — Mixed Use District: Conditional Uses Subdistrict — revision to encompass all essential services uses relevant to the Golden Gate Estates area and expand the referenced zoning district listed to encompass all relevant zoning districts in Golden Gate Estates. Estates — Commercial District: Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict — revision to replace the term "shopping center" with reference to C -2 uses. 3 GGAMP SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES WN Assessment of the Successes & Shortcomings and Recommendations for the Golden Gate Area Master Plan It should be noted that at the BCC EAR adoption Hearing, the BCC directed that only formatting changes within the Golden Gate Area Master Plan be initiated during the EAR based amendments. Staff has modified the assessment to reflect that directive. The BCC will ultimately determine what formatting changes need to occur during the EAR based GAP cycle. The BCC indicated that it will evaluate substantive changes to the GGAMP at a later date in relation to the public planning process. A. Introduction & Background: The purpose of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan is defined within its seven Goals (Goal 1 through Goal 7), which read as follows: GOAL 1: TO GUIDE LAND USE AND PUBLIC FACILITY DECISION MAKING WHILE BALANCING THE NEED TO PROVIDE BASIC SERVICES WITH NATURAL RESOURCE CONCERNS THROUGH A WELL PLANNED MIX OF COMPATIBLE LAND USES WHICH ENSURE THE HEALTH, SAFETY, WELFARE, AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE LOCAL RESIDENTS. The Golden Gate Area Master Plan is an "optional element" of the Collier County Growth Management Plan under Section 163.3177(7), Florida Statutes. As such, there are no specific criteria to guide the format and purposes of this Element. The Golden Gate Master Plan was originally developed, as mandated by (1988) Policy 4.1 of the Future land Use Element of the Growth Management Plan. As currently formatted, this Master Plan Element consists entirely of seven Goals, and their supporting Objectives and Policies. This Goal should be retained, essentially as written. This Goal should be rephrased to improve its formatting as a "goal ", such as, TO GUIDE LAND USE AND PUBLIC FACILITY DECISION MAKING THROUGH A WELL PLANNED MIX OF COMPATIBLE LAND USES WHICH ENSURE THE HEALTH, SAFETY, WELFARE, AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE LOCAL RESIDENTS, WHILE BALANCING THE NEED TO PROVIDE BASIC SERVICES WITH CONCERNS TO PROTECT NATURAL RESOURCES.

Future Land Use Designation Description — Assessment of Select Provisions 9B In addition to the above Assessment of GGAMP Goals, Objectives and Policies, staff provides below an Assessment of select portions of the Land Use Designation Description Section. 2. ESTATES DESIGNATION A. Estates — Mixed Use District 3. Conditional Uses Subdistrict Various types of conditional uses are permitted in the Estates zoning district within the Golden Gate Estates area. In order to control the location and spacing of new conditional uses, one of the following four sets of criteria shall be met: a) Essential Services Conditional Use Provisions: Those Essential Services Conditional Uses, as identified within Section 2.01.03 G. of the Collier County Land Development Code, may be allowed anywhere within the Estates Zoning District, except as prohibited in certain Neighborhood Centers, and are defined as: • electric or gas generating plants, • effluent tanks, • major re -pump stations, • sewage treatment plants, including percolation ponds, • hospitals and hospices, • water aeration or treatment plants, • governmental facilities (except for those Permitted Uses identified in Section 2.01.03 of the Land Development Code), • public water supply acquisition, withdrawal, or extraction facilities, and • public safety service facilities and other similar facilities. Provision Assessment: This provision, in varying iterations, has existed in the GGAMP since its adoption in 1991 and remains appropriate. However, the LDC reference and/or list of uses may not encompass all essential services, e.g. communication towers which are listed in LDC Sec. 2.01.03 G., Sec. 5.05.09, and in various zoning districts. Additionally, the reference to the Estates zoning district fails to capture all zoning districts found in the Golden Gate Estates area, e.g. P, Public Use zoning at Max Hasse Park. The County recommends revising the LDC reference and/or list of essential services uses to encompass all essential services uses relevant to the Golden Gate Estates area, and expanding the referenced zoning district listed to encompass all relevant zoning districts in Golden Gate Estates and/or adding reference to the Estates Designation. 2. ESTATES DESIGNATION B. Estates — Commercial District 3. Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict Recognizing the unique development pattern and characteristics of surrounding land uses, the Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict has been designated on the Golden Gate Area Future Land Use Map. The Subdistrict is comprised of the following properties: Tract 71, Golden Gate 14 GOLDEN GATE AREA MASTER PLAN 9B Estates, Unit 23; and the East 165 feet of Tract 54, Golden Gate Estates, Unit 23. See Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict Map. a) The Criteria for the Subdistrict are as follows: • All commercial development is encouraged to be in the form of a PUD. • Projects directly abutting Estates zoned property shall provide, at a minimum, a 75 -foot buffer of retained native vegetation in which no parking or water management uses are permitted; except that, when abutting conditional uses no such buffer is required. • Shared parking shall be required with adjoining developments whenever possible. b) Limitation of Uses - Uses shall be limited to the following: • Automobile Service Station; • Barber & Beauty Shops; • Convenience Stores; • Drug Stores; • Food Markets; • Hardware Stores; • Laundries - Self Service Only; • Post Offices and Professional Offices; • Repair Shops - Radio, TV, Small Appliances and Shoes; • Restaurants, including fast food restaurants but not drive -in restaurants • Shopping Center; • Veterinary Clinics with no outside kenneling. Provision Assessment: The specific list of uses in this subdistrict has existed in the GGAMP since its adoption in 1991 and was taken from a PUD approved prior to 1991. On April 14, 2009, the BCC approved an Appeal of a Zoning Verification Letter (Resolution 2009 -99) having the effect of allowing all uses of the C -2 zoning district in the LDC at that time, under the term "shopping center." The County recommends replacing the term "shopping center" with reference to C -2 uses (perhaps, "All Permitted Uses of the C -2, Convenience Commercial, zoning district in the Collier County Land Development Code, Ordinance 04 -41, as amended, as of April 14, 2009 "). 15 GOLDEN GATE AREA MASTER PLAN SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES 2011 EVALUATION & APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR) ECONOMIC ELEMENT Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Element will be revised to reflect the proper formatting for all Goals, Objectives and Policies, as defined below: Goal: General statement defining what the plan will ultimately achieve, typically beginning with "TO" followed by a transitive verb, such as, TO PROTECT or TO ENSURE. Objective: A more specific statement than the stated Goal; describing actions that will help achieve the goal(s), typically beginning with the active verb providing the general direction, such as, "Implement ", "Promote" or "Protect ". Objectives use the term "will" and allow Policies to specifically require an activity with "shall ". Policies: Specific statements that provide directives on how to achieve the objectives and ultimately the Element's goals, typically beginning with phrases like, "The County shall promote... ", "The County shall continue to..." or "The District shall expand..." or similar phrases. Policies use the terms "may" or "shall" to provide specific direction.

The Element also addresses certain requirements of the Southwest Florida Strategic Regional Plan regarding economic issues. It must be noted that the Economic Element only encourages, and does not mandate, that the County consider economic matters in relation to its overall planning and growth management strategy, as reflected in the other Elements of this Growth Management Plan (GMP). In considering whether to adopt changes or modifications to the GMP or the Land Development Code, the Board of County Commissioners must weigh the relative importance of many factors, of which economic impacts are not always the most significant. The Economic Element contains a single Goal and six (6) Objective Areas. These Objective Areas are: 1. The Conservation and Enhancement of Natural, Cultural & Social Resources. 2. Expanding and Enhancing the Tourism Industry. 3. New and Existing Industries. 4. Nonprofit and Civic Organizations & Local Groups/Programs. 5. Expansion and Development of Educational Facilities and Programs. 6. Development Regulations. The below evaluation of the Goal, Objectives and Policies of the Economic Element has been a collaborative effort between the Collier County Economic Development Council (EDC) and Comprehensive Planning. GOAL: COLLIER COUNTY WILL ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN A DIVERSIFIED AND STABLE ECONOMY BY PROVIDING A POSITIVE BUSINESS CLIMATE THAT ASSURES MAXIMUM EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES WHILE MAINTAINING A HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE. OBJECTIVE 1 (The Conservation and Enhancement of Natural, Cultural and Social Resources): Collier County will encourage the conservation and enhancement of those natural, cultural, and social resources that represent the foundation of the County's existing retirement, recreation, and tourist - oriented economy, in order to place the County in a competitive position to enable the retention and expansion of these and other business opportunities. Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text be remain. The County still maintains a position of strengthening the attributes which contributes to its competitive advantage regarding a sense of place which attracts new working and retired residents, as well as seasonal residents and short term visitors. The proposed revisions will be to clarify the purpose of the objective, as proposed below. OBJECTIVE 1 (The Conservation and Enhancement of Natural, Cultural and Social Resources): Collier County will encourage the conservation and enhancement of those natural, cultural, and social resources that are integral repFeSGRt to maintaining and expanding that portion of 1 Economic Element t9 6 the County's economy the G96IRty's existiRg which largely relies on seasonal residents and short term visitors and retired residents, FetiFeFnBRt, particularly the recreation, hospitality and tourism industries try, in order to place the County in a the most advantageous seMpetitiVe position to ens the retain eRtiOR and expand siea -e# these and other similar or related businesses eppv7"C' Ritie . Planniniz Commission (CCPC) Comment from Auzust 25 2010 EAR Workshop — The CCPC felt the renumbering of the Objectives as suggested by staff was unnecessary. Policy 1.2: Collier County will support the opportunity for development and establishment of hospitals, nursing homes and additional medical related facilities in order to promote a continuum of care to enhance the quality of life throughout the County. Policy Achievement Anal. Collier County recommends text be revised. As part of the means to make the County more attractive to a growing aging population, the attention and support of medical related facilities is essential. To further provide clarification the inclusion of medical related research and manufacturing facilities is being proposed to be included within the facilities promoted. OBJECTIVE 2 (Expanding and Enhancing the Tourism Industry): Collier County will support programs that are designed to expand and enhance the tourism industry. Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text be revised. A central tenant of the composition of the Collier County economy lies within Tourism, not only for short term economic opportunities that tourist bring to the County, but the continual exposure of the County to potential new full time and seasonal residents who first experience the County through tourist opportunities have long term economic ramifications. The objective is being proposed to be modified by adding the words — "hospitality and the tourism industry" OBJECTIVE 3 (New and Existing Industries): Collier County will support programs which are designed to promote and encourage the recruitment of new industry as well as the expansion and retention of existing industries in order to diversify the County's economic base. Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remains. The economic strategy employed by the County is a two prong approach; job creation through strengthening existing industries as well as active marketing to firms outside of the local market through recruitment efforts. Policy 3.3: Collier County will support the preparation of an annual report on the progress of economic development in the County. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text be revised. 2 Economic Element The preparation of an annual report detailing the economic progress and sped 1cs o existing programs is an effort which helps provided the business community a wider breadth of understanding of the business environment fostered by the County and potential opportunities within the County. The policy is being proposed as modified below. Policy 3.3: Collier County will seppet4 the atien of prepare an annual report on the progress of economic development and diversification, ' ,specifically as it relates to achieving the objectives set forth in the five -year economic development plan referenced in Policy 3.1 Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Remove the reference to the EDC in the proposed policy. Policy 3.8: Collier County, in coordination with appropriate entities, will continue programs that encourage and assist in the location of new companies that build on the traditional economic base. Policy Achievement Anal Collier County recommends text be revised. Attention to the core components of the Collier Economy is a central tenant of the economic platform endorsed by the County and will continue to be as the County moves forward with its economic diversification efforts. Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Would like to see traditional economic base articulated in policy. Policy 3.9: Collier County will support the preparation of an annual report on the progress of existing industry expansions and traditional industry starts. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text be deleted. The policy is redundant, with the annual report provided for in policy 3.3. Policy 3.14: Collier County has adopted a comprehensive program of economic incentives that are designed to attract new businesses and develop the local workforce for such businesses. These incentives include: a. An impact fee payment assistance program for either new or expanding targeted industries; b. A job creation investment program for the relocation or expansion of targeted industries; c. A property tax stimulus program providing payments to offset the costs associated with the relocation and /or expansion of targeted industries; and, d. An advanced broadband infrastructure investment program, which provides payments to businesses that are either installing or expanding broadband communications systems. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text relocated. The County has identified the above means to reduce locational barriers faced by firms entering into the Collier market and will continue to do so in the future and the development of the Project Innovation initiative is direct evidence of this commitment. 3 Economic Element GIB Planning; Commission (CCPC) Comment from Auzust 25 2010 EAR Workshop — remove this policy and relocate to either the Housing Element or the Immokalee Area Master Plan. NEW policy 3.14: Add a policy that states Collier County on a semi - annual basis will obtain and monitor the County's unemployment rate from the United States Department of Labor. Planninjz Commission (CCPC) Comment from December 7, 2010 EAR adoption Hearing — develop a policy for the County to regularly monitor the County's unemployment rate. OBJECTIVE 4 (Nonprofit and Civic Organizations and Local Groups /Programs): Collier County will support the economic development goals, efforts and community involvement of nonprofit organizations, civic associations and local groups and programs. Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends be revised. Support to these groups or organizations are part of the overall support for attempts to bring diversity and sustainability to the Collier economic mix. The Objective is proposed to be revised to provide further clarification to it purpose as detailed below. OBJECTIVE 4 (Nonprofit and Civic Organizations and Local Groups/Programs): Recognizing __ the significant economic and social benefits and the overall duality of place attributable in large part to the vast array of nonprofit organizations civic and community associations and other local g oups and programs in Collier County and in the southwest Florida region, the County will support the community involvement efforts and economic development goals of such organizations, associations, groups and programs. eeenemie development goals, . Policy 4.1: Collier County will support the economic development initiatives of regional nonprofit organizations. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text be revised, as suggested at the conclusion of policy 4.3. Successful economic development strategies must understand the economic landscape on a regional basis to identify and leverage opportunities contained within the region and with that understanding the county will support such regional efforts. Policy 4.2: Collier County will support the economic development goals and efforts of countywide organizations. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text be revised, as suggested at the conclusion of policy 4.3. As with policy 4.1 the County understands the importance of local efforts with economic diversification efforts and will continue to support such organizations. 4 Economic Element Policy 4.3: Collier County will support the economic development efforts of localized organizations. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text to be revised. Policy 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 could be combined within one policy as suggested below Policy 4.1: Collier County will support the economic development, initiatives of regional nonprofit organizations, goals and efforts of countywide organizations and efforts of localized organizations. OBJECTIVE 5 (Expansion and Development of Educational Facilities and Programs): Collier County will encourage the expansion and development of educational facilities and programs that complement economic development and diversification. Objective Achievement Anal Collier County recommends text remains. Successful economic development strategies understand the necessity of linking educational institutions to specific industries to assist within technology transfer and product and process innovation. Additionally, a strong educational linkage to industry ensures a yearly supply of fresh talent and ideas for existing business to draw upon and stands as a required infrastructure for a locality to provide similar to other locational infrastructure requirements. OBJECTIVE 6 (Development Regulations): Collier County will maintain a system of development regulations that will promote the accomplishment of the goals, objectives, and policies of this Element. Objective Achievement Anal, Collier County recommends text remains. The level of complexity associated with the development regulations of the County must weigh the protections being sought against the barriers they create for new business starts and existing business expansion. Attention must be paid to both sides of the balance. Policy 6.1 Collier County will periodically review its land development regulations for consistency with the Collier County Growth Management Plan to promote the accomplishment of the goals, objectives and policies of this Element. Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remain. Periodic review of development regulations are required to ensure that unintended negative consequences, contrary to the GMP's Economic Element are not resulting from such development regulation. Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from AuQUst 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Leave policy as written. S Economic Element 0 SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES 2011 EVALUATION & APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR) Public School Facilities Element Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Element should be revised to reflect the proper formatting of Goals, Objectives and Policies, as defined below. Goal: General statement that defines what the Element will ultimately achieve. Objective: A more specific statement than the stated Goal; describes actions that will help achieve the goal(s). Policies: Specific statements that provide directives on how to achieve the objectives and ultimately the Element's goal(s). Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Element should be revised to reflect Department name changes, designee changes, renumbering due to objective and/or policy additions and/or deletions, and grammatical changes. Policy 2.3: Delete the last paragraph within the Policy, as the required school concurrency regulations were adopted within the Land Development Code in June 2010. Policy 2.5: Delete the Policy, as the required school concurrency regulations were adopted within the Land Development Code in June 2010. Policy 3.6: Revise the Policy to reflect the establishment of the Citizen Advisory Group (CAG); and, add a reference to reflect that the planning and monitoring of school concurrency by the CAG is ongoing. 1 PSFE SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption 9B Assessment of the Successes and Shortcomings and Recommendations for the Public School Facilities Element A. Background and Introduction In 2005, the Florida Legislature enacted legislation (Senate Bill 360) amending Sections 163.3177 and 163.3180, F.S., requiring the establishment of concurrency for public school facilities not granted an exception. The implementation of school concurrency requires local governments to establish level of service standards for concurrency for public schools and adopt a Public School Facilities Element into their comprehensive plans. In 2008, in response to this legislative requirement, the Collier County School Board, Collier County and the municipalities within the County, coordinated the adoption of the Public Schools Facilities Element along with amendments to the Intergovernmental Coordination and Capital Improvements Elements to ensure consistency among the local governments' comprehensive plan elements and the School Board's plans. The Public Schools Facilities Element implements a uniform, district -wide public school concurrency system requiring concurrency for public schools be met before development orders are issued. The Collier County School District has a current enrollment of 42,849 students in grades pre- kindergarten through twelfth grade based on the school enrollment census taken in October 2009. The Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) capacity for existing core facilities can serve 48,257 students. The District reports that by year 2019, the projected student enrollment numbers are expected to grow to over 49,800 students. In order to meet the district -wide level of service standard of 100 percent for high schools, and 95 percent for both elementary and middle schools, within the five year planning horizon, an elementary school expansion to add 162 seats is planned and programmed within the District's Five -Year Work Plan. The Collier County School District currently meets the adopted level of service standards for public school facilities. School concurrency capacity projects identified in the School District's Five -Year Work Plan do not require Collier County to provide capital improvements for those projects within the five - year planning period. Based on student enrollment projections and the elementary school expansion planned and programmed in year 2014/2015, Collier County will continue to meet the adopted level of service standards for public school facilities for the five -year planning period. B. Element Review Less than two years have passed since the Public School Facilities Element was adopted. During that time period the County experienced a decline in residential development and an PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption a rgo outmigration of its population. As a result, school facility construction lessened and projects planned within the School District's 5 -Year Capital Improvement Plan were moved into later planning years. Since the school concurrency program generally remains unchanged since its adoption, the County is proposing minimal changes to PSFE at this time. Proposed changes to the Element include: deleting a paragraph within Policy 2.3 and deleting Policy 2.5 to reflect the adoption of implementing school concurrency provisions within the Land Development Code in June 2010; and, revising Policy 3.6 to reflect the establishment of a Citizen Advisory Group and provide that the planning and monitoring of school concurrency by the CAG is ongoing. C. Objective Analysis OBJECTIVE 2: RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT REVIEW The County, in cooperation with the School District, shall ensure a school concurrency evaluation is performed on all non - exempt residential development to verify that new students can be accommodated within the adopted level of service standard established for each school type as measured within a GSA. [This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed/ Policy 2.3: The County, through its land development regulations, and in conjunction with the School District, shall establish a school concurrency review process for all residential development projects that are not exempt under Policy 2.2 of this Element. The following are the minimum review process requirements for all non - exempt residential development: A. Submittal of a residential development application including a School Impact Analysis (SIA) to the County for sufficiency review. B. Determination of completeness by the County. If deemed' complete, the County shall transmit the application, including the SIA, to the School District for review. C. Review of the application, by the School District, for available capacity, and issuance of a School Capacity Availability Determination Letter (SCADL) within 20 days after receipt of a complete application from the County. The School District shall identify the following in the SCADL: 1. Available capacity within the affected CSA. 2. If capacity is not available within the affected CSA, the available capacity within one or more of the adjacent CSAs. (If the affected CSA does not contain a particular school type (elementary, middle, high), the adjacent CSAs shall be evaluated for available capacity.) 2 PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption 3. If capacity is not available in the adjacent CSAs, the School District shall indicate that the development is not in compliance with the adopted LOSS and offer the applicant the opportunity to negotiate a mitigation plan within a 90 day period. The Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency and this Public School Facilities Element shall provide the process necessary to determine available school capacity for all residential projects that are not exempt under Policy 2.2 of this Element, until such time as land development regulations (LDRs) are adopted. In the event that one of the documents listed above is not in effect prior to LDR adoption, the other document shall provide the process necessary to determine available school capacity for all non - exempt residential projects. Policy Achievement Anal The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the last paragraph should be deleted, as this policy objective has been achieved with the adoption of Land Development Code regulations in 2010. Policy 2.5: Within one (1) year from the effective date of the School. Concurrency Growth Management Plan amendments, the County shall adopt school concurrency provisions into its Land Development Regulations (LDRs) to implement school concurrency. Policy Achievement Analysis: The Policy objective has been achieved with the adoption of Land Development Code regulations in 2010. This Policy is no longer relevant and should be deleted OBJECTIVE 3: The County and the School District will: coordinate the location of public schools with the Future Land Use Map and map series to ensure that existing and proposed school facilities are located consistent with existing and proposed residential areas they serve and are proximate to appropriate existing and future land uses, and serve as community focal points; coordinate the location of public school facilities relative to the location of other public facilities such as parks, libraries and community centers to the extent possible; coordinate existing and planned public school facilities with the plans for supporting infrastructure; establish a monitoring group; and address coordination on emergency preparedness issues. Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 3115110, Public stated that there is a need to coordinate school siting and facility planning with County infrastructure. [This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed] 3 PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption 9B_i!`I Policy 3.6: The County, in conjunction with the School District, shall establish a Citizen Advisory Group (CAG) to monitor planning and school concurrency in Collier County. Policy Achievement Analysis: The policy objective has been achieved with the establishment of the CAG in 2009. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to reflect the establishment of the Citizen Advisory Group and that the monitoring and planning of school concurrency, by the CAG, is an ongoing activity. 4 PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption Im Immokalee Area Master Plan Element STATEMENT OF ISSUE The Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP) is an "optional element," under Section 163.3177(7), Florida Statutes. As such, there are no specific criteria to guide the format and purposes of this Element. The Immokalee Area Master Plan was originally developed, as mandated by (1988) Policy 6.4 of the Future Land Use Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. ISSUE BACKGROUND Work on the original Master Plan began with the appointment of a Technical Advisory Committee in November 1988. An initial public workshop was held in February 1989, and subsequent informational workshops were held periodically, thereafter. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners adopted the Immokalee Area Master Plan, as an element of the County's Growth Management Plan, on February 5, 1991. The first set of amendments to the plan, involving changes to both the text and the Immokalee Future Land Use Map, were adopted in 1993. In 1996, based upon recommendations contained in Collier County's adopted Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR), staff initiated amendments to the Immokalee Area Master Plan. Unlike the 1988 — 1991 process, the process initiated in 1996 did not involve an advisory committee specific to the Immokalee Area. Instead, the proposed IAMP amendments were formulated and reviewed by staff, aided by an Evaluation & Appraisal Report Advisory Committee, which also helped staff formulate and review amendments to other Elements of the Growth Management Plan. The EAR -based amendments affected virtually the entire Immokalee Area Master Plan, including the Immokalee Area Future Land Use Map. Various subdistrict boundaries were revised and two new subdistricts were created. Based upon the EAR recommendations, in October of 1997, the Board of County Commissioners adopted an Ordinance enacting the revised Master Plan. The BCC adopted the Second EAR for the GMP on July 27, 2004. Such EAR called for revisions to the Immokalee Area Master Plan to be prepared as part of the subsequent County's EAR -based amendments. During 2003, as part of the preparation of the EAR, the BCC authorized Comprehensive Planning staff to prepare recommendations for revising the 1997 IAMP. Subsequently, the Board authorized creation of an advisory committee, the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Committee (Restudy Committee), to work with staff in making proposed revisions to the IAMP. The Restudy Committee, assisted by Comprehensive Planning staff, submitted recommendations to the EAR (for recommended amendments to the IAMP), in November 2003. However, during the performance of its tasks, the Committee determined that a longer, more intense restudy of the LAMP was necessary. Therefore, the IAMP Restudy Committee expressed a desire to extend the life of the Committee so that it could continue to assist the Board with the implementation the IAMP. The re- established Committee was renamed as the Immokalee Area Master Plan and Visioning Committee (IMPVC). The BCC adopted Ordinance 04 -62, sunsetting the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Committee and creating the IMPVC, on September 28, 2004. Immokalee Area Master Plan Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption One of the Committee's first official acts was to direct staff to prepare Request For Proposals and Scope of Services to hire a consulting firm that would assist the IMPVC in revising the IAMP. The CRA hired the consulting firm RMPK Group and worked for a period of over four years conducting public meetings, collecting and analyzing data, and drafting revisions to the LAMP. This firm prepared a study entitled " Immokalee Inventory and Analysis Report" in May of 2006, but relinquished their services to the Immokalee CRA in 2008. RWA, Inc. was then hired and is presently the agent in charge of the proposed amendments to IAMP and subsequent Land Development Code (LDC) regulations. The IMPVC sunsetted on December 31, 2009 by Resolution 2009 -306. A series of public meetings and workshops were held in relation to the preparation of the current amendment to the IAMP. Agencies involved included the IAMPVC, and Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board (CRAAB). The Immokalee Area Master Plan Element of the GMP is currently in the process of revising and replacing each existing Goal, Objective and Policy of the IAMP, as well as revising and replacing all future land use designations on the IAMP and IAMP FLUM. The IAMP is expected to be adopted during the first quarter of 2011. In general, the amendment to the LAMP element of the GMP proposes eight new goals, each with respective objectives and policies; followed by the revised Land Use Designation Description Section which includes and describes the proposed land use designations that will guide patterns of development within the Immokalee urban area and further the proposed goals through standards set forth within such land used designations, and the types of allowed land uses that could be requested. The first goal establishes the prioritization of capital projects and other IAMP activities to accomplish the proposed goals, subject to funding as approved by the BCC on an annual basis. The second goal prioritizes economic development in regard to opportunities for business and redevelopment initiatives and incentives that promote social benefits to the Immokalee community; encourages development away from environmentally sensitive lands; and allows for agriculture related business within certain areas of the Immokalee urban area. The third goal deals with housing, as it relates to farm worker and migrant housing needs; conservation and rehabilitation of housing; and the promotion of affordable workforce and gap housing. Provisions for public infrastructure and public facilities are dealt with in goal four. The fifth goal outlines standards and policies related to natural resources. Goal six describes the revised land use designations in Immokalee. Goal seven relates to development design standards that are specific to the Immokalee Urban area. Goal eight provides for coordination with certain agencies. The last portion of the revised IAMP specifies the changes among each new land use designation and the density rating system, including density bonuses and the density and intensity blending provision, and the applicable correlating revisions to the FLUM. The proposed IAMP intends to implement the Immokalee community's vision, as approved by the IMPVC, by promoting economic development and efficient delivery of services through greater density and intensity that encourage dense, clustered development; incorporating smart growth principles; and by providing greater development flexibility through mixed -use Subdistricts. 2 Immokalee Area Master Plan Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption rA The proposed Plan intends to increase density and intensity as the main mechanism to promote economic development within the Immokalee Urban Area. Staff acknowledges and supports the desires of the CRA and IMPVC to promote and diversify economic development in Immokalee. Specifically: Changes in the FLUM proposes the majority of dense, mixed use of commercial and residential development along the main thoroughfares of Immokalej4surrounded by land uses that have the highest allowance for density. These higher density areas transition to lands that are allowed lower density and which are located mainly towards the edge of the urban area. Industrial development remains in the current general location of the Immokalee airport. • Increase in density bonuses for mixed use development are meant to incentivize higher density along the main thoroughfares, and promote the changes in the land use designations of these areas that would further the proposed GOPs. • The proposed FLUM reduces the amount of residentially designated lands by 636 acres. This change allows for the re- designation of current Low Residential Designated lands located around the main thoroughfares of Immokalee. Such existing Low Residential areas are proposed to be re- designated to allow higher density and non - residential uses in order to further the proposed GOPs and create transition towards the low density areas. • In addition, some of the changes, such as the location of the Industrial — Mixed Use Subdistrict (IMU) do not seem to be compatible with the proposed adjacent designations. However, added development standards, such as specific landscaping buffers between the industrially designated lands and the residential areas, are meant to ameliorate compatibility issues between them. The following are some of the major changes proposed in the IAMP amendment: • Re- configuration of the wetland boundary that connects to Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay (see attached Map 1). This revision was requested by staff. • The re- designation of the lands within the boundary of the Immokalee Regional Airport from Industrial (ID) to Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict (APO). • The addition of X103 acres of land that are proposed to be removed from the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA) and be included within the boundary of the Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict (APO). (Correlating changes to the countywide Future Land Use Map Series are not proposed at this time, but will be considered during adoption hearings.) • The addition of the "Loop Road," which is proposed to allow access from the Immokalee Regional Airport and Florida Tradeport areas, to SR82 and SR29. • Revisions to the land use designations in the IAMP FLUM include: 3 Immokalee Area Master Plan Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption o An increase in the base density allowed within the mixed use designated areas. However, no change in base density (DU /A — dwelling units per acre) is proposed within the Low, Medium, High and RT designated areas: • Low Residential: no change (4 DU /A). • Medium Residential: no change (6 DU /A) • High Residential: no change (8 DU /A) ■ Mixed use: from 12 DU /A allowed within the existing Commerce Center Mixed Use (CC -MU) and Neighborhood Center (NC) to 16 DU /A allowed in the proposed Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) designated areas. ■ Recreational Tourist (RT): no change (4 DU /A). o An increase of about 10 percent in the number of potential dwelling units that could be developed through base density: ■ A reduction in the base number of potential dwelling units within the Low, Medium and High Residential designated areas, from 57,230 dwelling units to 55,829 dwelling units. This change would allow 1,401 less dwelling units. • An increase in the base number of potential dwelling units within the Mixed -Use designation, from 10,341 dwelling units to 17,670 dwelling units. This change would allow 7,299 additional dwelling units. • An increase in the base number of potential dwelling units within the Recreational Tourist designation, from 1,005 dwelling units to 1,805 dwelling units. The 800 additional dwelling units is due to the increase in the amount of acreage proposed to be designated as RT in the revised FLUM. The above noted reductions and additions in the base number of potential dwelling units in the IAMP FLUM, in conjunction with the changes in the amount of acreage of each land use designation, including the increase in acreage of RT designated lands, yields an increase in the total base number of potential dwelling units, from 68,576 dwelling units to 75,307 dwelling units. This change represents an additional 6,730 dwelling units that would be allowed in the IAMP. o Changes in the maximum density (DU /A — dwelling units per acre) allowed within the low residential (reduction) and mixed use designated areas (increase): • Low Residential: from 12 DU /A to 8 DU /A • Medium Residential: no change (14 DU /A) • High Residential: no change (16 DU /A) • Mixed use: from 12 DU /A allowed within the Commerce Center Mixed Use (CC -MU) and Neighborhood Center (NC) to 20 DU /A allowed in the proposed Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) designated areas. • Recreational Tourist (RT): no change (4 DU /A) 4 Immokalee Area Master Plan Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption o An 18 percent reduction in the maximum number of potential dwelling units that would be allowed in the IAMP: • A reduction in the maximum number of potential dwelling units within the Low, Medium and High Residential designated areas, from 157,011.4 dwelling units to 113,879.2 dwelling units. This change would allow 43,132.2 less dwelling units. • An increase in the maximum number of potential dwelling units within the Mixed -Use designation, from 10,341.6 dwelling units to 22,088 dwelling units. This change would allow 11,746.4 additional dwelling units. • An increase in the maximum number of potential dwelling units within the Recreational Tourist designation, from 1,005 dwelling units to 1,805 dwelling units. This change would allow 800 additional dwelling units due to the increase in the amount of acreage proposed to be designated as RT in the FLUM. The above reductions and additions in the maximum allowed number of potential dwelling units, in conjunction with the increase in acreage of RT designated lands, yields a reduction in the total maximum number of potential dwelling units in the IAMP FLUM, from 168,357.8 dwelling units to 137,774.4 dwelling units. This change represents a reduction of 30,583.4 dwelling units from what is currently allowed to be developed in the IAMP. • An increase in the amount of Recreational Tourist (RT) designated lands: from (251.2 acres to (451.8 acres, an increase of 1201 acres. This change would allow an increase in the potential number of dwelling units, from 1,005 dwelling units to 1,805 dwelling units (see Table 3); as well as an increase in the maximum amount of potential dwelling units that could be developed. • An increase on the cap of allowed density that can be requested within the Immokalee Urban Area, via density bonus, from a maximum of 16 DU /A to a cap of 20 DU /A. • A five percent reduction of residential designated lands. This change of over ±636 acres of residential designated lands are proposed to be re- designated to allow commercial and industrial development, as well as uses that are allowed under the RT designation. • An increase- in the amount of commercial designated lands: from ±1024.4 acres to f 1,104.4 acres, an increase of ±80 acres of commercial designated lands. An increase in the amount of industrial designated lands: from 2,643.5 acres to 3,105.4 acres, an increase of A-462 acres of industrial designated lands. This increase includes the re- designation from Industrial (ID) to Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict (APO) of 1484.3 acres of land that are part of the Immokalee Regional Airport boundary. The proposed Plan includes Objectives and Policies that address HB 697. The Immokalee Area Master Plan has incorporated language within these Immokalee- specific amendments to address the energy efficiency issues. Specifically, the following proposed Goals, Objectives and Policies are designed to comply with HB 697 in the following manner: 5 Immokalee Area Master Plan Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption Reducing the number and length of automobile trips (VMT): Objective 2.2, and its related policies, seeks to diversify the local economy and increase employment opportunities within the Immokalee Urban Area, thereby lowering the need to travel greater distances for work or services. Objective 4.2 addresses vehicular and non- vehicular transportation options and specifically references the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and minimize energy consumption. Policies 4.2.6 and 4.2.7 discuss the need to improve and expand public transit options in Immokalee. Policy 4.2.8 seeks to evaluate whether a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area is appropriate for Immokalee. Policy 6.1.5 specifically states that compact mixed -use development patterns are encouraged to create walkable communities, reduce vehicle miles traveled and increase energy efficiency. Promoting alternative modes of transportation: Objective 4.2 addresses non - vehicular transportation options and specifically references the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and minimize energy consumption. Policy 4.2.2 references the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and Policy 4.2.5 recognizes the need to improve safety for pedestrians and bicycles. Policies 4.2.6 and 4.2.7 discuss the need to improve and expand public transit options in Immokalee. Objective 7.1 recognizes the need for Immokalee- specific land development regulations that will encourage pedestrian friendly urban form and promote energy efficiency. Policy 7.1.2 encourages new community facilities to be within a half -mile of residential and mixed use centers to encourage walking, bicycling and non - vehicular travel. Allowing for compact mixed -use development patterns: Goal 6, and its related Objectives and Policies, pertain to land use and specifically reference allowing and encouraging a mixture of uses. Objective 6.1 references the need to coordinate the Future Land Use Map that encourages desirable growth and energy efficient development patterns. Policy 6.1.5 specifically states that the Immokalee area encourages compact mixed - use development patterns to create walkable communities, reduce vehicle miles traveled and increase energy efficiency. Policy 4.1.2 encourages future parks to be located in the most densely populated areas, and recognizes the need for public plazas, greens and urban parks to make Immokalee more pedestrian friendly. Objective 7.1, and its related policies, recognizes the need for Immokalee- specific land development regulations that will encourage pedestrian friendly urban form and promote energy efficiency. Policy 7.1.2 recognizes that new community facilities should be within walking distance to mixed use and residential centers. Policies 7.1.2, 7.1.3 and 7.1.4 all relate to compact, mixed -use, urban design criteria. The Urban-Mixed Use district allows for commercial development within the Residential Subdistricts, as described in the Land Use Designation Description section. Density bonuses are also allowed for projects that are proximate to Commercial Uses. Allowing for higher densities in appropriate places, which reduces the per capita carbon footprint, supports transit and reduces sprawl. Policy 7.1.5 also encourages high intensity development in Immokalee through the development of a Central Business District overlay subdistrict in the Land Development Code. The Urban-Mixed Use district and subdistricts, as referenced in the Land Use Designation Description section, allow for higher residential densities. The base residential densities range from four (4) units per acre for Low Residential (LR) subdistrict to ten (10) 6 Immokalee Area Master Plan Updated for January 2011 BCC Adoption T dwelling units per acre in High Residential (HR) and sixteen (16) in the Commercial -Mixed Use subdistricts. Density bonuses are also allowed for projects that are proximate to Commercial Uses or in infill areas, as well as for providing affordable - workforce housing. The revisions to the IAMP are intended to implement the Immokalee community's vision, as approved by promoting economic development and efficient delivery of services through greater density and intensity that encourage dense, clustered development; incorporating smart growth principles; and by providing greater development flexibility through mixed -use Subdistricts. 0anninz Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Would like to have the provisions contained in Policy 5.1.4. of the proposed Immokalee Area Master Plan (LAMP)be resolved during the adoption hearings in regard to this plan.

CAPITAL 1AIPROVEMENT GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES [Revised text, page 2] GOAL: TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES CONCURRENT WITH NEW DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN OR EXCEED ADOPTED STANDARDS FOR LEVELS OF SERVICE. OBJECTIVE 1 (PUBLIC FA CILITY LE VEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS): Identify and define types of public facilities, establish standards for levels of service for each such public facility, and determine what quantity of additional public facilities is needed in order to achieve and maintain the standards. Policy 1.1: [Revised text, page 2] The County shall establish standards for levels of service for public facilities, as follows: Public facilities are facilities which appear in other elements of this comprehensive plan, including arterial and collector roads, :emote - stormwater management systems, potable water systems, sanitafy —sew- wastewater treatment systems, solid waste disposal facilities, parks and recreation facilities, and public school facilities. The standards for levels of service of County provided public facilities shall apply to development orders issued by the County, to the County's annual budget, and to the appropriate individual element of this comprehensive plan. The standards for levels of service of public facilities which are not County provided shall apply to development orders issued by the County and to the appropriate individual element of this comprehensive plan, but shall not apply to the County's annual budget. Public facilities shall include land, structures, the initial furnishings and equipment, design, permitting, and construction costs. Other "capital" costs, such as motor vehicles and motorized equipment, computers and office equipment, office furnishings, and small tools are considered in the County's annual budget, but such items are not "public facilities" for the purposes of the Growth Management Plan, or the issuance of development orders. Policy 1.2: [Revised text, page 2] The quantity of public facilities that is needed to eliminate existing deficiencies and to meet the needs of future growth shall be determined for each public facility by the following calculation: Q= (SxD) -I. Where: "Q" is the quantity of public facility needed, "S" is the standard for level of service, "D" is the demand, such as the population, and "I" is the inventory of existing facilities. Words underlined are added; words struelt#reagh are deleted. TRANSMITTAL FINAL - BCC 4 -24 -12 98 Exhibit "A" EAR -based GMP Amendments Capital Improvement Element - BCC Transmittal Hearing 3 -14 -12 A. The calculation will be used for existing demand in order to determine existing deficiencies. The calculation will be used for projected demand in order to determine needs of future growth. The estimates of projected demand will account for demand that is likely to occur from previously issued development orders as well as future growth. B. The Board of County Commissioners shall review all rezone petitions, SRA designation applications, conditional use petitions, and proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Element (FLUE), Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) or Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP) affecting the overall countywide density or intensity of permissible development, with consideration of their impact on both the variable "D" in the formula Q = (S x D) - I, and the overall County transportation system. The Board shall not approve any such petition or application which would directly access a deficient roadway segment or if it impacts an adjacent roadway segment that is deficient, or which significantly impacts either: (1) a deficient roadway segment or adjacent roadway segment; or (2) the seasonal population based upon the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Florida (BEBR) medium range growth rate population projections, for all public facilities, for the variable "D ", unless one of the three items listed below simultaneously occurs: ( -a)1. Specific mitigating stipulations are approved in conjunction with the rezone or SRA designation resolution, conditional use petition, or FLUE amendment, to restore or maintain the Level of Service on the impacted roadway segment; N2. The adopted population standard used for calculation of "Q" in the formula Q = (S x D) — I is amended based on appropriate relevant, appropriate and professionally accepted data and analysis; or, (03. The Schedule of Capital Improvements is updated to include any necessary projects that would support the additional public facility demand(s) created by the rezone, SRA designation resolution, conditional use petition, or amendment to the Future Land Use Element. C. Significant impact is hereby defined for Section B of this Policy as, an impact generating potential for increased countywide population greater than 2% of the population projections for parks, solid waste disposal, potable water, sanitaizy sewef wastewater treatment, and draixage - stormwater management facilities, or as generating a volume of traffic equal to or greater than 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume of an impacted roadway. D. There are three circumstances in which the standards for levels of service are not the exclusive determinant of need for a public facility: 1. Calculated needs for public facilities in coastal high hazard areas are subject to all limitations and conditions in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element and Future Land Use Elements of this Growth Management Plan.

Replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities, and repair, remodeling and renovation, will be determined by the Board of County Commissioners upon the recommendation of the County Manager. 3. Public facilities that provide levels of service in excess of the standards adopted in this Growth Management Plan may be constructed or acquired at any time as long as the following conditions are met: a. the facility does not make financially unfeasible any public facility of the same type that is needed to achieve or maintain the standards for levels of service adopted in this Growth Management Plan, and b. the facility does not contradict, limit or substantially change the goals, objectives and policies of any element of this Growth Management Plan. Any public facility that is determined to be needed as a result of any of the factors listed in Section B or Section D of this Policy shall be included in the regular Schedule of Capital Improvements contained in this Capital Improvement Element. All capital improvement projects for such public facilities shall be approved in the same manner as the projects that are identified according to the quantitative analysis described in Section A of this Policy. Population definitions as used in this Capital Improvement Element and other elements are provided below. Permanent Population is the population projection figure based on Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Florida (BEBR) medium range growth rate population projections. The population projection figure is then converted from April 1 to October 1, which is the beginning of the fiscal year for Collier County. Seasonal Population is the BEBR population figure (described above) converted to its October 1 figure, increased by 20% for all areas of the County to reflect the increase of seasonal part-time residents and visitors. Unincorporated Area Seasonal Population is the seasonal population figure (described above) for unincorporated Collier County only, adjusted to represent how seasonal residents utilize certain park facilities differently. * ** * ** * ** * ** * ** text break * ** * ** * ** * ** * ** Policy 1.4: [Revised text, pages 4, 5] Public facility improvements are to be considered in the following order or priority: A.

In the event that the planned capacity of public facilities is insufficient to serve all applicants for development orders, the capital improvements will be scheduled in the following priority order to serve: 1. previously approved development orders permitting redevelopment, 2. previously approved development orders permitting new development, 3. new development orders permitting redevelopment, and 4. new development orders permitting new developments. D. Improvements to existing facilities, and new facilities that significantly reduce the operating cost of providing a service or facility. E. New facilities that exceed the adopted levels of service for new growth during the next five fiscal years by either: 1. providing excess public facility capacity that may be needed by future growth beyond the next five fiscal years, or 2. providing higher quality public facilities than are contemplated in the County's normal design criteria for such facilities. When further considering projects prioritized by this order, the higher priority shall be assigned to improvements designed to reduce, or not increase, greenhouse gas emissions through shortened vehicular trip lengths, trips taken by another mode of transportation, or by other substantive means. Policy 1.5: [Revised text, pages 5, 6, 7] The standards for levels of service of public facilities shall be as follows: A. Roadways: 1. Arterials and collector roads: Level of Service indicated below on the basis of peak hour, traffic volume: Level of Service "E" on all six -lane roads: 2.

A direct impact is hereby defined as the dredging or filling of a wetland or adversely changing the hydroperiod of a wetland. This policy shall be implemented as follows: (1) The County shall apply the vegetation retention requirements of Policy 6.1.2 of this element for the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, and Policy 6.1.2.b. of this element for the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System, in order to preserve an appropriate amount of native vegetation on site. Wetlands shall be preserved as part of this vegetation requirement according to the following criteria: a. The acreage requirements of Policy 6.1.2 of this element shall be met by preserving wetlands with the highest wetland functionality scores. Wetland functionality assessment scores shall be those described in paragraph (2) of this policy. Wetlands having a WRAP score of at least 0.65 or a Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method score of 0.7 shall be preserved on site. This policy is not intended in all cases to require preservation of wetlands exceeding the acreage required by Policy 6.1.2 of this element. Within one year, the County shall develop specific criteria to be used to determine when wetlands having a WRAP score greater than 0.65 or a Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method score of greater than 0.7 shall be required to be retained exceeding the acreage required by Policy 6.1.2 of this element.

Chapter 62 -345. The applicant shall submit to County staff, agency accepted WRAP scores or Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method scores. County staff shall review this functionality assessment as part of the County's EIS provisions and shall use the results to direct incompatible land uses away from the highest functioning wetlands according to the requirements found in paragraph (1) above. (3) All direct impacts shall be mitigated for pursuant to the requirements of paragraph (6) of this policy. (4) Single family residences shall follow the requirements contained within Policy 6.2.7 of this element. (5) The County shall separate preserved wetlands from other land uses with appropriate buffering requirements. The County shall require a minimum 50 -foot vegetated upland buffer adjacent to a natural water body, and for other wetlands a minimum 25 -foot vegetated upland buffer adjacent to the wetland. A structural buffer may be used in conjunction with a vegetative buffer that would reduce the vegetative buffer width by 50 %. A structural buffer shall be required adjacent to wetlands where direct impacts are allowed. Wetland buffers shall conform to the following standards: a. The buffer shall be measured landward from the approved jurisdictional line. b. The buffer zone shall consist of preserved native vegetation. Where native vegetation does not exist, native vegetation compatible with the existing soils and expected hydrologic conditions shall be planted. c. The buffer shall be maintained free of Category I invasive exotic plants, as defined by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council. d. The following land uses are considered to be compatible with wetland functions and are allowed within the buffer: 1. Passive recreational areas, boardwalks and recreational shelters; 2. Pervious nature trails; 3. Water management structures; 4. Mitigation areas; 5. Any other conservation and related open space activity or use which is comparable in nature with the foregoing uses. e. A structural buffer may consist of a stem -wall, berm, or vegetative hedge with suitable fencing. (6) Mitigation shall be required for direct impacts to wetlands in order to result in no net loss of wetland functions. a. Mitigation Requirements: 1. "No net loss of wetland functions" shall mean that the wetland functional score of the proposed mitigation equals or exceeds the wetland functional score of the impacted wetlands. However, in no case shall the acreage proposed for mitigation be less than the acreage being impacted. 2. Loss of storage or conveyance volume resulting from direct impacts to wetlands shall be compensated for by providing an equal amount of storage or conveyance capacity on site and within or adjacent to the impacted wetland.

DENSITY RATING SYSTEM: [No change to text — provided for context, page 47] This Density Rating System is only applicable to areas designated on the Future Land Use Map as: Urban, Urban Mixed Use District; and, on a very limited basis, Agricultural/Rural. It is not applicable to the Urban areas encompassed by the Immokalee Area Master Plan and the Golden Gate Area Master Plan; these two Elements have their own density provisions. The Density Rating System is applicable to that portion of the Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict to the extent that the residential density cap of 4 dwelling units per acre is not exceeded, except for the density bonus provisions for Affordable Housing and Transfer of Development Rights, and except as provided for in the Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Overlay. The final determination of permitted density via implementation of this Density Rating System is made by the Board of County Commissioners through an advertised public hearing process (rezone or Stewardship Receiving Area designation). 1. The Density Rating System is applied in the following manner: [Revised text, page 48] a. Within the applicable Urban Designated Areas, a base density of 4 residential dwelling units per gross acre may be allowed, though not an entitlement. This base level of density may be adjusted depending upon the location and characteristics of the project. For purposes of calculating the eligible number of dwelling units for a project (gross acreage multiplied by eligible number of dwelling units per acre), the total number of dwelling units may be rounded up by one unit if the dwelling unit total yields a fraction of a unit .5 or greater. Acreage to be used for calculating density is exclusive of. the commercial and industrial portions of a project, except where authorized in a Subdistrict, such as the Orange Blossom Mixed -Use Subdistrict; and, mixed residential and commercial uses as provided for in the C -1 through C -3 zoning districts in the Collier County Land Development Code; and, portions of a project for land uses having an established equivalent residential density in the Collier County Land Development Code. b.

Within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA), the Density Rating System is applicable for the Affordable - workforce Housing Density Bonus only, as specifically provided for in the RLSA for Stewardship Receiving Areas. d. This Density Rating System only applies to residential dwelling units. This Density Rating System is not applicable to accessory dwellings or accessory structures that are not intended and/or not designed and/or not authorized for permanent occupancy, and is not applicable to accessory dwellings or accessory structures intended for rental or other commercial use; such accessory dwellings and structures include guest houses, servants quarters, mother -in -law's quarters, cabanas, guest suites, and the like. e. All new residential zoning located within Districts, Subdistricts and Overlays identified above that are subject to this Density Rating System shall be consistent with this Density Rating System, except as provided in: 1) Policy 5.1 of the Future Land Use Element. 2) The Urban Mixed Use District for the "vested" Port of the Islands development. 3) The Buckley Mixed Use Subdistrict. 4) The Commercial Mixed Use Subdistrict. 5) The Vanderbilt Beach/Collier Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict. 6) Livingston/Radio Road Commercial Infill Subdistrict. 7) Vanderbilt Beach Road Neighborhood Commercial Subdistrict. 2. Density Bonuses [No change to text — provided for context, page 48] Consistency with the following characteristics may add to the base density.

Mixed Use Activity Centers are intended to be mixed -use in character. Further, they are generally intended to be developed at a human - scale, to be pedestrian- oriented, and to be interconnected with abutting projects — whether commercial or residential. Street, pedestrian pathway and bike lane interconnections with abutting properties, where possible and practicable, are encouraged. Allowable land uses in Mixed Use Activity Centers include the full array of commercial uses, residential uses, institutional uses, hotel/motel uses at a maximum density of 26 units per acre, community facilities, and other land uses as generally allowed in the Urban designation. The actual mix of the various land uses shall be determined during the rezoning process based on consideration of the factors listed below. Except as restricted below under the provision for Master Planned Activity Centers, all Mixed Use Activity Centers may be developed with any of the land uses allowed within this Subdistrict.

Significant portions of this District are adjacent to the Urban area or to the semi - rural, rapidly developing, large -lot North Golden Gate Estates platted lands. Agricultural land uses within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District do not represent a significant portion of the County's active agricultural lands. As of the date of adoption of this Plan Amendment, the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District consists of more than 5,550 tax parcels, and includes at least 3,835 separate and distinct property owners. Alternative land use strategies have been developed for the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, in part, to consider these existing conditions. The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District provides a transition between the Urban and Estates Designated lands and between the Urban and Agricultural/Rural and Conservation designated lands farther to the east.

ESTATES DESIGNATION A. Estates - Mixed Use District 3. Conditional Uses Subdistrict Various types of conditional uses are permitted in the Estates zoning district within the Golden Gate Estates area. In order to control the location and spacing of new conditional uses, one of the following four sets of criteria shall be met: a) Essential Services Conditional Use Provisions: Those Essential Services Conditional Uses, as identified within Section 2.01.03 G of the Collier County Land Development Code, may be allowed anywhere within the Estates Zoning District, except as prohibited in certain Neighborhood Centers, and are defined as: • electric or gas generating plants, • effluent tanks, • major re -pump stations, • sewage treatment plants, including percolation ponds, • hospitals and hospices, • water aeration or treatment plants, A. • governmental facilities (except for those Permitted Uses identified in Section 2.01.03 of the Land Development Code), • public water supply acquisition, withdrawal, or extraction facilities, and • public safety service facilities, and other similar facilities. Provision Assessment: This provision, in varying iterations, has existed in the GGAMP since its adoption in 1991 and remains appropriate. However, the LDC reference and/or list of uses may not encompass all essential services, e.g. communication towers which are listed in LDC Sec. 2.01.03 G, Sec. 5.05.09, and in various zoning districts. Additionally, the reference to the Estates zoning district fails to capture all zoning districts found in the Golden Gate Estates area, e.g. P, Public Use zoning at Max Hasse Park. The County recommends revising the LDC reference and/or list of essential services uses to encompass all essential services uses relevant to the Golden Gate Estates area, and expanding the referenced zoning district listed to encompass all relevant zoning districts in Golden Gate Estates and/or adding reference to the Estates Designation. * ** * ** * ** * ** * ** text break * ** * ** * ** * ** * ** Words underlined are added; words StFUGk thmugh are deleted.

ESTATES DESIGNATION B. Estates — Commercial District 3. Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict Recognizing the unique development pattern and characteristics of surrounding land uses, the Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict has been designated on the Golden Gate Area Future Land Use Map. The Subdistrict is comprised of the following properties: Tract 71, Golden Gate Estates, Unit 23; and the East 165 feet of Tract 54, Golden Gate Estates, Unit 23. See Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict Map. a) The Criteria for the Subdistrict are as follows: All commercial development is encouraged to be in the form of a PUD. Projects directly abutting Estates zoned property shall provide, at a minimum, a 75 -foot buffer of retained native vegetation in which no parking or water management uses are permitted; except that, when abutting conditional uses no such buffer is required. Shared parking shall be required with adjoining developments whenever possible. b) Limitation of Uses - Uses shall be limited to the following: • Automobile Service Station; • Barber & Beauty Shops; • Convenience Stores; • Drug Stores; • Food Markets; • Hardware Stores; • Laundries - Self Service Only; • Post Offices and Professional Offices; • Repair Shops - Radio, TV, Small Appliances and Shoes; • Restaurants, including fast food restaurants but not drive -in restaurants • Shopping Center; • Veterinary Clinics with no outside kenneling. Provision Assessment: The specific list of uses in this subdistrict has existed in the GGAMP since its adoption in 1991 and was taken from a PUD approved prior to 1991. On April 14, 2009, the BCC approved an Appeal of a Zoning Verification Letter (Resolution 2009 -99) having the effect of allowing all uses of the C -2 zoning district in the LDC at that time, under the term "shopping center."
