EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Review of Proposed Evaluation and Appraisal Report-Based Amendments to the Collier County Growth Management Plan, Ordinance 89-05, As Amended. [Transmittal Hearing] OBJECTIVE: To have the Board of County Commissioners review the proposed Evaluation and Appraisal Report-Based Growth Management Plan amendments and consider approving them for Transmittal to the Florida Department of Community Affairs and other agencies for their preliminary review for compliance with Florida Statutes. CONSIDERATIONS: Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, also known as 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/kJa growth management plan (GMP). The periodic amendment process, which occurs once every seven years, as described in Chapter 163.3191, F.S., 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 1, 2003, was adopted on July 27, 2004. The Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), which has oversight for comprehensive plans, amendments, and EARs for all local governments, found the 2004 EAR sufficient on November 15, 2004. 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 updating ordinance numbers, referencing the new (2004) Unified Land Development Code, revising/correcting government agency names, word- smithing, reformatting, rearranging the order of Districts/Subdistricts, etc. Also, based upon preference by DCA, the Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR)-related amendments have been incorporated into these EAR-based amendments rather than as separate amendments in a separate cycle. (Both EAR-related and AUIR-related GMP amendments are exempt from the statutory limitation of two adoptions per year.) These AUIR-related amendments affect the Capital Improvement, Transportation, and Intergovernmental Coordination Elements, and the 1 Sanitary Sewer Sub-Element, whereas the EAR-based amendments affect all Elements and Sub- Elements of the GMP. Some EAR recommendations are very specific and some are more general; some have been linked to subsequent County actions, e.g. the Affordable Housing Workshop and GAP Housing Workshop, both held in 2005. As such, though not specifically recommended in the EAR, the BCC direction to staff at those workshops has been incorporated in these amendments where appropriate. Also, a few EAR recommendations were proposed as GMP amendments. These are identified, and explanation/rationale provided, on an attached document. Amendments Commentary: Density Rating System (DRS) changes. The DRS has been revised to: (a) eliminate the density bonus for Proximity to Activity Center (residential density band), Residentiallnfill, and Roadway Access; (b) eliminate the Traffic Congestion Area density reduction and replace it with a Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) density reduction; and, (c) impose an absolute cap of 4 DU/A maximum in the CHHA. A corresponding change has been made to Policy 5.1 to limit residential density to 4 DU/ A in the CHHA when rezoning commercial property to residential zoning districts. Similar DRS changes occur in the Golden Gate Area and Immokalee Area Master Plans. Affordable- Workforce Housing density bonus by right. As a means of facilitating provision of affordable workforce housing, based upon general BCC direction, staff proposed that projects providing such housing be eligible for the base density of 4 DU/ A by right, and that the density bonus for such housing, up to 4 DU/ A, also be allowed by right, for a maximum density by right of 8 DU/A. When utilized, this would result in: cost savings since application fees and professional agent fees will not be required for a rezone petition; time savings since the rezone process is bypassed; and, certainty in the outcome since there is no public hearing process. There is concern over eliminating the public hearing process - legitimate neighborhood concerns cannot be addressed through the administrative approval process, nor can exactions be made. For example, staff does not have the authority to require a reduction in density or an increase in setbacks and buffers for compatibility reasons. Also of concern is the ability, through an administrative approval process, to adequately protect environmentally sensitive lands. In the coastal Urban area there are 4,700+ acres of qualifying property and the Immokalee Urban has a larger inventory of qualifying properties (11,800+ acres). Significant LDC amendments would be necessary to implement this provision, e.g. amend "A" zoning district to: allow multi- family structures, allow density greater than 1 DU/5A, provide a separate set of development standards and buffer requirements, prohibit barb wire fences, etc. Additional criteria might be appropriate for compatibility reasons and to avoid concentration of such developments, such as: a maximum project size and/or total number of dwelling units; locational criteria; separation requirements between such developments; and, perhaps prohibiting mobile homes in such developments. The CCPC recommended this density by right provision for the Immokalee area only, expressing a strong need for such housing in the Immokalee Community. At the lAMP Visioning Committee meeting on April 4, 2006, they unanimously recommended this provision be included in the lAMP. Also, the audience was polled and 13 were in favor and 1 against. [the proposed Density By Right text is attached] 2 Guest house rental. An additional step towards providing affordable housing is the proposal to allow rental of guest houses. However, there is no rent control component to this provision - rental rates will be per market forces. To qualify for a guest house under the present LDC provision, the property must be ~1 acre in size and ~105 feet in width; it is limited to a maximum of 40% the size of the principal dwelling. While it is unknown how many owners of property in Golden Gate Estates might avail themselves of this opportunity, it is known there is a vast inventory of qualifying properties (26,000+ parcels; 3,000+ west of Collier Blvd. and 23,000+ east of Collier Blvd.). Allowing permanent occupancy of a guest house could potentially increase the affordable housing stock, though there is no regulatory component to control or monitor prices. With the 40% size limitation, it is presumed most guesthouses would be the equivalent of a moderately sized apartment. Guest house rental does not promote home ownership with its added stability. Each permanently occupied guest house could be expected to generate public facilities impacts (roads, schools, parks, etc.) and may generate more demand for provision of central water and/or sewer in Golden Gate Estates. There are far fewer qualifying properties in the coastal Urban area. Pine Ridge subdivision is one of the few residential areas with lot sizes that are eligible for a guest house; there are 281 qualifying lots. Elsewhere in the coastal Urban area, there are <10,000 acres of land zoned A- Rural Agricultural. It is assumed that the value of this land is such that it will be rezoned and. developed with lot sizes that would not be eligible for a guesthouse (or not rezoned for residential uses). Within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District Neutral Lands and Receiving Lands, there are 5,600+ acres and 19,000+ acres respectively, which could accommodate guesthouses. Within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area, there are 145,000+ acres which could accommodate guesthouses. There is a vast inventory of qualifying properties within the Immokalee Urban area given that there is tremendous amount of property still zoned A, Rural Agricultural. [the proposed Guest House text is attached] Affordable-Workforce Housing in Rural Villages and RLSA Overlay Stewardship Receiving Areas. The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District presently provides for a density bonus within a Rural Village for providing a certain percentage of affordable and workforce housing. However, the implementing LDC provision mandates this. An amendment herein requires inclusion of affordable and workforce housing, and provides that the bonus is applicable for providing more than the required amount. For equity, the same requirement to provide a certain percentage of affordable and workforce housing is added for Towns and Villages within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area. Affordable-Workforce Housing term. In various places in the Future Land Use Element, Immokalee Area Master Plan, Golden Gate Area Master Plan, and Housing Element, the phrase "affordable housing" and "workforce housing" appear. To correlate with the recent LDC amendment defining the term "affordable-workforce housing" and revising the density bonus table, staff has added this combined term. In some instances, the intent of the existing GMP text was to limit such housing to serve those earning =:;80% of the median household income, or <100%, or =:;150%; staff drafted the new text to reflect that original intent. However, the CCPC did not endorse staff's position, rather allowed for the mix of affordable-workforce housing per the LDC definition and density bonus table. As the text has been removed per CCPC recommendation, staff flagged these areas with yellow highlighting 1--}. 3 Industrial District within Immokalee Area Master Plan. Section 1.5.J, # 11 of the EAR recommends adding "airport", "drag racin~ strip" and "campground" as allowable uses in the Industrial District. This action, along with a subsequent LDC amendment, would legitimize the drag racing presently occurring at the Immokalee Regional Airport. Staff has added "airport" as a permitted use; and, "campground" as an accessory use to special events, such as an air show, the same as is provided for in the LDC. Staff has added "vehicle racing" but subject to conditional use (CD) approval; the broader terminology will be less restrictive than the one specific category of racing. The CD requirement is to insure adequate opportunity for public scrutiny and debate. As far back as 2001, staff of the Collier County Airport Authority discussed initiating an amendment to the lAMP to allow racing at the airport but did not go forward. Allowing permanent racing mayor may not have a significant economic impact upon the Immokalee community, but would be expected to generate additional public facility impacts and, potentially, greater and more frequent noise impacts; noise raises the issue of compatibility with existing and future residential development within the impacted area around the airport site as well as impacts upon listed animal species, e.g. burrowing owl. For these reasons, staff believes it best to require a CU process for racing. Staff Issues A. In Policy 2.4.4 of the Solid Waste Sub-Element, the CCPC recommended addition of text that would prohibit exploration of burning technologies as a means of solid waste disposal (see below). The CCPC made this recommendation after a public speaker voiced concerns that burn technologies cause pollution, and burn technologies are dependent on combustible solid waste so that they might discourage reduction of the waste stream. The Public Utilities Division disagrees with, and objects, to this text. Bv fiscal vear 2010. t+.he County shall acquire and/or retain the f@E!lliF88 land inventory reauired for future solid waste operations, based upon selection of, including but not limited to, one or more of the following options, by fiscal year ~: 1. Increase the permissible elevation of the Naples Landfill so as to gam additional airspace capacity. 2. Develop the means to partially or completely divert solid waste from the landfill (additional recycling or alternative forms of disposal ). 3. Secure and utilize capacity at a landfill or landfills outside of Collier County. 4. Explore emerging conversion technologies that would allow for continued solid waste disposal operations within Collier County. exclusive of anv burninl! technolol!v. B. Objective 2.1 in the CCME requires preparation of watershed management plans (WMPs). Staff's proposed text reads, in part: "A funding schedule shall be established to ensure that all Watershed Management Plans will be completed by 2018." The EAC recommended completion by 2012. Their concern is that, due to the rapid pace of development, impacts to these 4 watersheds will continue while the Plans are being developed. They believe the County should make this a high priority and provide the necessary funding to accomplish this in the shorter time frame. (see attached memo from EAC) The CCPC recommended modified language but with the same goal - to have these WMPs prepared soon, not several years in the future. The key issue is one of funding; the County would need to make thes a priority and provide necessary funding. Staff estimates each WMP would cost between $800,000 and $1 million. c. At the EAC's April 5 meeting, they re-visited the EAR-based amendments pertaining to two issues. (1) Allowing stormwater in preserve areas. Their original recommendation was to allow stormwater in preserve areas so long as no adverse impacts occurred. On April 5, they recommended this should only be allowed if there is a benefit to the preserve. The CCPC initially considered requiring the benefit, but ultimately recommended the "no adverse impact" text. This affects CCME Policy 6.1.1(5)b. and the GGAMP, Neighborhood Center Subdistrict and Commercial Western Estates Infill Subdistrict. (2) Protection of listed plant and animal species. The existing CCME calls for the protection of both listed plant and animal species. Staff proposed deleting this text but replacing it in different policies for greater clarity. At the EAC hearing(s), staff proposed deleting the "plant and" text but adding language to require developing LDC amendments within one year to implement protection of listed plant species. At their April 5 meeting, the EAC stated their recommendation was to keep the reference to protecting listed plant species in the CCME AND to add a policy requiring LDC amendments to be prepared within one year. D. A rather minor issue is the wording in Policy 3.4 of the Drainage Sub-Element. As shown below, the changes proposed by staff included addition of the word "give"; the CCPC recommended replacing that word with "be given". After reviewing this more closely, staff believes the correct verb tense is use of the word "give", so recommends this to the BCC. The original intention was to state that maintenance efforts would be given priority over totally new projects. There are many locations in the County where undersized or deteriorated drainage facilities could be replaced and provide improved Level of Service rather than developing totally new facilities. Policy ~3.4: County improvements to existing Major emphasis shall be given to improving existing drainage facilities shall eWe be l!iven maior emphasis to the maintenance of those facilities located within in and around the urban and estates designated areas (on the adopted Future Land Use Map), exclusive of Southern Golden Gate Estates to maintain their use. Words underlined are added; words stmck tHrough are deleted. Words double underlined are added, words double 8trusl( tkJl'8ugk are deleted - per eepe recommendation. E. Finally, staff notes that the guidelines for TCEAs (Transportation Concurrency Exception Areas), required by SB 360 adopted in 2005 by the Florida Legislature, are not incorporated in these amendments as the DCA has not yet developed the guidelines. Staff anticipates including these guidelines in preparation for the Adoption hearings. 5 FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact as a result of the Transmittal of these GMP amendments to the Florida Department of €ommunity Affairs for their review and comment. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: These GMP amendments have been prepared primarily based upon the 2004 EAR. Transmittal of these amendments to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and other agencies will trigger their review of these amendments and subsequent preparation and rendering of an ORC (Objections, Recommendations and Comments) 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. EAC RECOMMENDATION: The Environmental Advisory Council reviewed these GMP amendments on January 4 and 12, February 1, and March 1,2006. Their recommendations have been incorporated into the amendments. Also, the EAC forwarded three recommendations outside the scope of the EAR recommendations: (1) Transportation Element: Make more widespread the practice of coordinated traffic signal timing among signalized intersections, to improve the flow of traffic under all conditions, especially rush hours, weekends and peak seasonal periods. [Staff: If so directed, this could be considered in a future GMP amendment cycle.] (2) Solid Waste Sub-Element, Policy 3.1: Add a provision to create a program to study, recommend and implement regulatory restrictions on the packaging of retail goods sold in Collier County. [Staff: If so directed, this could be considered in a future GMP amendment cycle.] (3) Economic Element, Policy 3.14: Add language regarding the County's relaxation of impact fees in workforce housing for the new hospital center near Lely. [Staff: If so directed, this could be considered in a future GMP amendment cycle. However, staff would note that Housing Element Policies 1.3, 1.4,2.1,2.7, and 2.11 adequately support development of affordable housing impact fee programs, such as impact fee deferrals.] CCPC RECOMMENDATION: The Collier County Planning Commission reviewed these GMP amendments on March 6, 8, 9, 16 and 30, 2006. Their recommendations have been incorporated into the amendments. Also, the CCPC forwarded two recommendations outside the scope of the EAR recommendations, based upon comments from a public speaker: (1) That the Board establish an advisory committee for the Public Utilities Division, similar to the Development Services Advisory Committee for the Community Development and Environmental Services Division. [Staff: The Public Utilities Division does not support this recommendation, stating such action would be redundant as there are existing committees.] (2) That the County explore the appropriateness and financial feasibility of requiring all new structures to incorporate energy conservation measures. [Staff: If so directed, this could be considered in a future GMP amendment cycle.] STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve these EAR-based GMP amendments for Transmittal to DCA and other agencies as recommended by the CCPC, except as noted herein where staff disagrees with the CCPC recommendation. 6 PREPARED BY: REVIEWED BY: APPROVED BY: ..J;;~ David Weeks, AICP, Planning Manager Comprehensive Planning Department Rant1~i!f:: Comprehensive Planning Department DATE: 1f,7--t>&.

Transmittal ExSum 2004 EAR-based GMPAs G: Comp, EAR Amendment Modifications dw4/7/06 EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: Section 2.28 of the EAR recommends adding a new provision for neighborhood commercial development. Staff does not recommend this at this time. In December 2003, five months after adoption of the EAR, a new provision was added to the FLUE that will allow some additional opportunities for neighborhood commercial uses, albeit in a mixed use development (Residential Mixed Use Neighborhood Commercial Subdistrict). As it is relatively new, more time should be given to see how this new Subdistrict might fulfill this EAR issue. Similarly, pertaining to the GGAMP, in September 2003, two months after adoption of the EAR, two new Neighborhood Centers were added and an existing one was expanded; Neighborhood Centers allow neighborhood commercial uses. More recently, the Orange Blossom Ranch PDD, approved in the Rural Settlement Area District, allows 44 acres of commercial development. Also, there is a pending PUD amendment for Orangetree PUD, also in the Rural Settlement Area District, to increase the commercial acres from 22 to 35. As these changes and pending changes are relatively new, more time should be given to see how they might fulfill this EAR issue. As to the lAMP, staff does not recommend this at this time. The BCC-appointed lAMP Visioning Committee and CRA Advisory Board are in the process of reviewing the lAMP with the assistance of a consultant. The outcome is intended to be recommended amendments to the lAMP. Section 2.30 of the EAR recommends consideration of restricting allowable uses within Interchange Activity Centers [only at Immokalee Road (AlC #4) and Pine Ridge Road (AlC #10)] in the FLUE. It was discussed that community and regional shopping center uses be prohibited due to traffic impacts and instead, limit these Activity Centers to uses serving the traveling public and uses dependent upon the interstate highway system, e.g. a distribution facility. Staff analysis of these two interchanges reveals that AlC #4 is 100% zoned commercial, and AlC #10 only has one remaining non-commercially zoned parcel; it comprises 20 acres, is zoned A-Rural Agricultural, and contains a church (Seagate Baptist). The majority of the Activity Center parcels are already developed. Also, there is concern for potential Bert Harris Act claims against the County for initiating a zoning change of any of these parcels. Section 2.31 of the EAR recommends consideration of adding provision for rural design techniques in the GGAMP. Almost all lands within Golden Gate Estates are limited to single family development. Commercial development is limited primarily to Neighborhood Centers. The GGAMP was amended in 2003 to require establishment of rural design criteria for Neighborhood Centers. Section 2.33 of the EAR recommends expanding the lAMP boundary to encompass all of Census Tracts 112.04, 112.05, 113 and 114, but not to expand the Urban boundary to encompass the added lands. The geographic result would be to expand the lAMP boundary west to the Lee County line and north and east to the Hendry County line. By not changing the future land use designation of these added properties, it would not seem to serve any purpose; those added lands would still be"designated Agricultural/Rural and lie within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area. Section 1.5.J, #12 of the EAR recommends replacing the Urban Infill and Redevelopment Overlay (in the lAMP) which has no regulatory effect, with a new overlay containing criteria for development and/or incentives for redevelopment. The BCC-appointed lAMP Visioning Committee and CRA Advisory Board are in the process of reviewing the lAMP with a consultant's assistance. The outcome is intended to be recommended amendments to the lAMP.

Additionally, the principal dwelling may be leased or rented as well. Under no circumstance shall this rental allowance be construed to allow the further subdivision of property below the minimum lot size of 2.25 acres. FLUE, Policy 5.7 (in part): In the Urban, Agricultural/Rural, and Conservation Designations, within all Districts and Subdistricts that allow single family residential development, a l!uest house is allowed as an accessory use in accordance with Section 5.03.03 of the Land Development Code (Ordinance No. 04-41, adopted June 22, 2004 and effective October 18, 2004), as amended. except that the I!uest house may be leased or rented. Additionally. the principal dwelling may be leased or rented as well. A I!llest house shall not be considered a dwelling unit for purposes of calculating allowable density. DU provisions not recommended by CCPC G: Comp, EAR Amendment Modifications, BCC Fianl dw4-7.06 TO: The Collier County Boord of Commissioners FROM: The Environmental Advisory Council SUBJECT: Water Quality Issues Related to Watershed Management Plans DATE: April 5, 2006 The Environmental Advisory Council is concerned about several issues related to the development of Watershed Management Plans in Collier County. I. Surface water can be managed effectively only on a watershed-wide basis. 2. The rapid pace of development means that decisions are being made on a piecemeal basis that could more effectively be made on a watershed-wide basis. 3. Stormwater should be retained and treated within the basin in which it is generated. This will reduce pollution of canals, bays and estuaries. 4. There is need for more stringent water quality certification procedures to ensure that when stormwater is released from a watershed, it meets the required standards. 5. Procedures should be developed to incentivize treatment rather than just wet retention. 6. Standards need to be developed for some of the pollutants found in Southwest Florida surface water. 7. The efficiency of currently used methodologies to determine the amount of stormwater storage required need to be evaluated based on actual experience in Southwest Florida. It is our opinion that due to rapid infilling, retention ponds become undersized; larger retention areas may well be warranted. It is imperative that the process for prioritization of watersheds for Watershed Management Plan development be begun immediately with those areas with the highest development potential being given highest priority. To this end, we request that the money be appropriated to ensure that the plans are completed prior to 2010, at the latest.

[TRANSMITTAL HEARING] BACKGROUND Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, also known as 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 Chapter 163.3191, F.S., 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. 1 Collier County's first EAR was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on July 16, 1996. The subsequent EAR-based amentijt!:ents were adopted on October-i8, 1997. The second EAR, which reviewed the performance of Collier County's Growth Management Plan (GMP) from October 1997 to July 1,2003, was adopted on July 27,2004. The Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), which has oversight for comprehensive plans, amendments, and EARs for all local governments, found the 2004 EAR sufficient on November 15, 2004. STAFF ANALYSIS: The amendments that are the subject of this staff reportare 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 updating ordinance numbers, referencing the new (2004) Unified Land Development Code, revising/correcting government agency names, word- smithing, reformatting, rearranging the order of Districts/Subdistricts, etc. Also, based upon preference by DCA, the Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR)-related amendments have been incorporated into these EAR-based amendments rather than as separate amendments in a separate cycle. (Both EAR-related and AUIR-related GMP amendments are exempt from the statutory limitation of two adoptions per year.) These AUIR-related amendments affect the Capital Improvement, Transportation, and Intergovernmental Coordination Elements, and the Sanitary Sewer Sub-Element. Some EAR recommendations are very specific and some are more general; some have been linked to subsequent County actions, e.g. the Affordable Housing Workshop and GAP Housing Workshop, both held in 2005. As such, though not specifically recommended in the EAR, the BCC direction to staff at those workshops has been incorporated in these amendments where appropriate. These types of amendments in particular may be worthy of discussion. Following each Element and Sub-Element below is a brief discussion/analysis/commentary on any amendment(s) staff believed such to be appropriate; and identification of and explanation/rationale for any EAR recommendations not included in these amendments. 1. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT Amendments Commentary: Added AUIR-based amendments, notably adding the three new sewer districts in the Rural Fringe area for a total of five. A general change from actual population figures to weighted population calculations received attention. Clarification language was added to Policy 2.2 to emphasize how impact fees are utilized to pay for facilities attributed to future development. Removed "pay as you go" terminology from Policy 2.4, as SB360 gives us confusing "pay as you grow" language. Clarified Concurrency Management System language as an implementation program providing for certain facilities projects to progress upon AUIR approval, where allowed. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: None. 2. TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT 2 Amendments Commentary: ~ . _ Added AUIR-based amendments, notably language intended to ensure the County uses community impact assessment techniques in the transportation planning process. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: None. 3. SANITARY SEWER SUB-ELEMENT OF PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT Amendments Commentary: Add AUIR-based amendments, notably adding the three new sewer districts in the Rural Fringe area. Change Level of Service standard for private sector systems. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: None. 4. POTABLE WATER SUB-ELEMENT OF PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT Amendments Commentary: Add Policies reflecting statutory requirement to coordinate water supply planning with SFWMD. Change Level of Service Standards for Independent Districts. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: None. 5. DRAINAGE SUB-ELEMENT OF PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT Amendments Commentary: Defers to CCME in establishment and timing of Watershed Management Plans. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: None. 6. SOLID WASTE SUB-ELEMENT OF PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT Amendments Commentary: Requires acquisition of necessary land to accommodate selection of land-fill options. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: None. 7. NATURAL GROUNDWATER AND AQUIFER RECHARGE SUB-ELEMENT OF PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT Amendments Commentary: None. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: None. 3 8. HOUSING ELEMENT - . ,or- . ~ Amendments Commentary: Throughout the Element, the phrase "affordable housing" and "workforce housing" are bolded and italicized to draw attention. Once the BCC approves the LDC amendment providing a new name or names and definitions for these terms, staff will incorporate the appropriate term. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: None. 9. RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT Amendments Commentary: Added AUIR-based amendments. This included reducing the amount of acreage acquired for community parks and limiting to a specific amount. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: None. 10. CONSERVATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT Amendments Commentary: This Element has been revised extensively, and the EAC recommended further revisions and modifications to staff's proposed amendments. Amendments include changes to objectives and policies pertaining to habitat, vegetation, and animal protection; coastal resources; other natural resources; and, emergency management. Also, the schedule of preparing watershed management plans has been revised; the EAC recommendation pertains to this issue. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: Section 2.24 of the EAR recommends consideration of restricting nursing homes and convalescent centers in the Coastal High Hazard Area. Staff added a new policy 12.1.7 that recognizes a new hurricane evacuation study is being prepared (should be completed later this year) and that development restrictions in the CHHA will be proposed, if warranted by the study. 11. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT Amendments Commentary: Added AUIR-based amendments, notably language intended to ensure coordination between the County and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) in our growth management planning efforts. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: None. 12. FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Amendments Commentary: The Density Rating System has been revised to eliminate the density bonus for Proximity to Activity Center (residential density band), Residentiallnfill and Roadway Access; eliminate the Traffic Congestion Area density reduction and replace it with a Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) density reduction; and, impose an absolute cap of 4 DU/A maximum in the CHHA. A 4 corresponding change has been made to Policy 5.1 to limit residential density to 4 OU/A in the CHHA when rezoning commercial property.-jO- residential zoning districts. _ Affordable Workforce Housing density bonus by right. As a means of facilitating provision of affordable workforce housing, based upon general BCC direction, staff has proposed that projects providing such housing be eligible for the base density of 4 OU/A by right, and that the density bonus for such housing, up to 4 OU/A, also be allowed by right, for a maximum density by right of 8 OU/A. When utilized, this will result in: cost savings since application fees and professional agent fees will not be required for a rezone. petition; time savings since the rezone process is bypassed; and, certainty in the outcome since there is no public hearing process. There is concern over eliminating the public hearing process - legitimate neighborhood concerns cannot be addressed through the administrative approval process, nor can exactions be made. For example, staff does not have the authority to require a reduction in density or an increase in setbacks and buffers. In the coastal Urban area there are 4,700+ acres of qualifying property. Significant LDC amendments will be necessary to implement this provision, e.g. amend "A" zoning district to: allow multi-family structures, allow density greater than 1 DU/5A, provide a separate set of development standards and buffer requirements, prohibit barb wire fences, etc. Guest house rental. Similar staff comments as is in the GGAMP. However, there are far fewer qualifying properties in the coastal Urban area. Pine Ridge subdivision is one of the few residential areas with lot sizes that are eligible for a guest house; there are 281 qualifying lots. Elsewhere in the coastal Urban area, there are <10,000 acres of land zoned A-Rural Agricultural. It is assumed that the value of this land is such that it will be rezoned and developed with lot sizes that would not be eligible for a guesthouse (or not rezoned for residential uses). Within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District Neutral Lands and Receiving Lands, there are 5,600+ acres and 19,000+ acres respectively, which could accommodate guesthouses. Within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area, there are 145,000+ acres which could accommodate guesthouses. The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District presently provides for a density bonus within a Rural Village for providing a certain percentage of affordable and workforce housing. However, the implementing LOC provision mandates this. An amendment herein requires inclusion of affordable and workforce housing, and provides that the bonus is applicable for providing more than the required amount. For equity, the same requirement to provide a certain percentage of affordable and workforce housing is added for Towns and Villages within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area. Throughout the Element, the phrase "affordable housing" and "workforce housing" are bolded and italicized to draw attention. Once the BCC approves the LDC amendment providing a new name or names and definitions for these terms, staff will incorporate the appropriate term. Due to a recent LDC amendment, the term "adjacent" now allows for an intervening street; the term "abutting" does not. Since there are no adopted definitions in the GMP, the LDC is sometimes used as a guide. "Adjacent" is used many times in the FLUE; in most instances, allowing an intervening street is not intended. Therefore, staff has replaced "adjacent" with "abutting" in many locations throughout the FLUE. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: Section 2.28 of the EAR recommends adding a new provision for neighborhood commercial development. Staff does not recommend this at this time. In December 2003, five months after adoption of the EAR, a new provision was added to the FLUE that will allow some additional 5 opportunities for neighborhood commercial uses, albeit in a mixed use development (Residential Mixed Use Neighborhood C~e[cial Subdistrict). As it is relatively new, more time should be given to see how this new Subdistrict might fulfill this EAR issue. Section 2.30 of the EAR recommends consideration of restricting allowable uses within Interchange Activity Centers [only at Immokalee Road (AlC #4) and Pine Ridge Road (AlC #10)]. It was discussed that community and regional shopping center uses be prohibited due to traffic impacts and instead, limit these Activity Centers to uses serving the traveling public and uses dependent upon the interstate highway system, e,g. a distribution facility. Staff analysis of these two interchanges reveals that AlC #4 is 100% zoned commercial, and AlC #10 only has one remaining non-commercially zoned parcel; it comprises 20 acres, is zoned A-Rural Agricultural, and contains a church (Seagate Baptist). The majority of the Activity Center parcels are already developed. Also, there is concern for potential Bert Harris Act claims against the County for initiating a zoning change of any of these parcels. 13. GOLDEN GATE AREA MASTER PLAN ELEMENT Amendments Commentary: The Density Rating System has been revised to eliminate the density bonus for Proximity to Activity Center (residential density band), Residential Infill and Roadway Access. Affordable Workforce Housing density bonus by right. Same staff comments as in the FLUE for urban areas. Staff does not believe it likely that this provision will be utilized in the Urban area (Golden Gate City) due to the established development pattern and limited inventory. Guest house rental. An additional step towards providing affordable housing is the proposal to allow rental of guest houses. However, there is no rent control component to this provision - rental rates will be per market forces. To qualify for a guest house under the present LDC provision, the property must be,?,1 acre in size and ,?,1 05 feet in width; it is limited to a maximum of 40% the size of the principal dwelling. While it is unknown how many owners of property in Golden Gate Estates might avail themselves of this opportunity, it is known there is a vast inventory of qualifying properties (26,000+ parcels; 3,000+ west of Collier Blvd. and 23,000+ east of Collier Blvd.). Allowing permanent occupancy of a guest house could potentially increase the affordable housing stock, though there is no regulatory component to control or monitor prices. With the 40% size limitation, it is presumed most guesthouses would be the equivalent of a moderately sized apartment. Guest house rental does not promote home ownership with its added stability. Each permanently occupied guest house could be expected to generate public facilities impacts (roads, schools, parks, etc.) and may generate more demand for provision of central water and/or sewer in Golden Gate Estates. Throughout the Element, the phrase "affordable housing" and "workforce housing" are bolded and italicized to draw attention. Once the BCC approves the LDC amendment providing a new name or names and definitions for these terms, staff will incorporate the appropriate term. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: Section 2.28 of the EAR recommends adding a new provision for neighborhood commercial development. Staff does not recommend this at this time. In September 2003, two months after adoption of the EAR, two new Neighborhood Centers were added and an existing one was expanded; Neighborhood Centers allow neighborhood commercial uses. More recently, the Orange Blossom Ranch PUD, approved in the Rural Settlement Area District, allows 44 acres of commercial development. Also, there is a pending PUD amendment for Orangetree PUD, also in the Rural Settlement Area District, to increase the commercial acres from 22 to 35. As these 6 changes and pending changes are relatively new, more time should be given to see how they might fulfill this EAR issue. __~. . _ Section 2.31 of the EAR recommends consideration of adding provision for rural design techniques. Almost all lands within Golden Gate Estates are limited to single family development. Commercial development is limited primarily to Neighborhood Centers. The GGAMP was amended in 2003 to require establishment of rural design criteria for Neighborhood Centers. . 14. IMMOKALEE AREA MASTER PLAN ELEMENT - Amendments Commentary: The Density Rating System has been revised to eliminate the density bonus for Proximity to Neighborhood Center, Residential Infill and Roadway Access. Affordable Workforce Housing density bonus by right. Same staff comments as in the FLUE and GGAMP for urban areas. However, the potential for such development is far greater in the lAMP due to the vast inventory of qualifying properties (11,800+ acres). Guest house rental. Similar staff comments as is in the GGAMP. There is a vast inventory of qualifying properties within the lAMP given that there is tremendous amount of property still zoned A-Rural Agricultural. Section 1.5.J, #11 of the EAR recommends adding "airport", "drag racing strip" and "campground" as allowable uses in the Industrial District. This action, along with a subsequent LDC amendment, would legitimize the drag racing presently occurring at the airport. Staff has added "airport" as a permitted use; and, "campground" as an accessory use to special events, such as an air show, the same as is provided for in the LDC. Staff has added "vehicle racing" but subject to conditional use (CU) approval; the broader terminology will be less restrictive than the one specific category of racing. The CU requirement is to insure adequate opportunity for public scrutiny and debate. As far back as 2001, staff of the Collier County Airport Authority discussed initiating an amendment to the lAMP to allow racing at the airport but did not go forward. Allowing permanent racing mayor may not have a significant economic impact upon the Immokalee community, but would be expected to generate additional public facility impacts and, potentially, greater and more frequent noise impacts; noise raises the issue of compatibility with existing and future residential development within the impacted area around the airport site as well as impacts upon listed animal species, e.g. burrowing owl. For these reasons, staff believes it best to require a CU process for racing. Throughout the Element, the phrase "affordable housing" and "workforce housing" are bolded and italicized to draw attention. Once the BCC approves the LDC amendment providing a new name or names and definitions for these terms, staff will incorporate the appropriate term. Similar to comments for the FLUE, the term "adjacent" has been replaced with "abutting" in various locations. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: Section 1.5.J, #12 of the EAR recommends replaCing the Urban Infill and Redevelopment Overlay, which has no regulatory effect, with a new overlay containing criteria for development and/or incentives for redevelopment. The BCC-appointed lAMP Visioning Committee and CRA Advisory Board are in the process of reviewing the lAMP with the assistance of a consultant. The outcome is intended to be recommended amendments to the lAMP. 7 Section 2.28 of the EAR recommends addiA.-9.a new provision for neighborhoQ9 commercial development. Staff does not recommend this at this time. The BCC-appointed lAMP Visioning Committee and eRA Advisory Board are in the process of reviewing the lAMP with the assistance of a consultant. The outcome is intended to be recommended amendments to the lAMP. Section 2.33 of the EAR recommends expanding the lAMP boundary to encompass all of Census Tracts 112.04, 112.05, 113 and 114, but not toexpand the Urban boundary to encompass the added lands. The geographic result would be to expand the lAMP boundary west to the Lee County line and north and east to the Hendry County line. By not changing the future land use designation of these added properties, it would not seem to serve any purpose; those added lands would still be designated Agricultural/Rural and lie within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area. 15. MARCO ISLAND MASTER PLAN ELEMENT Amendments Commentary: The Master Plan is being deleted in its entirety as the lands within are all now part of the City of Marco Island and subject to their comprehensive plan. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: None. 16. ECONOMIC ELEMENT Amendments Commentary: None. EAR Recommendations Not Incorporated and Explanation/Rationale: None. ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL (EAC) RECOMMENDATION: The EAC reviewed these amendments at three different hearings - January 4 and 12, February 1, and March 1, 2006. Most of their deliberations, and subsequent recommendations, pertained to the CCME. The Housing and Immokalee Area Master Plan Elements will be reviewed on March 1; those recommendations will be presented at the CCPC hearing. For all other Elements, the EAC's recommendations are listed below, followed by staff comment. Except as identified below, all of these received a recommendation of approval as presented by staff. Capital Improvement Element (CIE) EAC: No changes. Transportation Element (TE EAC: Make more widespread the practice of coordinated traffic signal timing among signalized intersections, to improve the flow of traffic under all conditions, especially rush hours, weekends and peak seasonal periods. Staff: This recommendation is outside the scope of the EAR recommendations; it may be considered in a future GMP amendment cycle. Public Facilities Element, Sanitary Sewer Sub-Element (SSSE) EAC: No changes. 8 Public Facilities Element, Potable Wat~l:Ib-Element (PWSE) __ EAC: In Objective 1, following the reference to "the County's Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan", add the words: "as updated annually"... Staff: No objection; this recommendation has been incorporated into the Sub-Element. Public Facilities Element, Drainage Sub-Element (DSE) EAC: No changes. Public Facilities Element, Solid Waste Sub-Element1SWSE) EAC: In Policy 3.1, add a provision to create a program to study, recommend and implement regulatory restrictions on the packaging of retail goods sold in Collier County. Staff: This recommendation falls outside the scope of the EAR recommendations; it may be considered in a future GMP amendment cycle. Public Facilities Element, Natural Groundwater and Natural Recharge Sub-Element (NGWARSE) EAC: No changes. Recreation and Open Space Element (ROSE) EAC: No changes. Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) EAC: The number of changes is numerous (the EAC discussed this extensively); for that reason, staff chose not to list them. Staff: No objection, with one exception; all but one recommendation have been incorporated into the Element. At issue is Objective 2.1; staffs version reads, in part: "A funding schedule shall be established to ensure that all Watershed Management Plans will be completed by 2018." The EAC would like to see this date at 2012. Their concern is that, due to the rapid pace of development, impacts to these watersheds will continue while the Plans are being developed. They believe the County should make this a high priority and provide the necessary funding to accomplish this in the shorter time frame. Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) EAC: No changes. Future Land Use Element (FLUE) EAC: No changes. Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) EAC: No changes. Marco Island Master Plan (MIMP) EAC: No changes. Economic Element (EE) EAC: Under Policy 3.14, add language regarding the County's relaxation of impact fees in workforce housing for the new hospital center near Lely. Staff: This recommendation falls outside the scope of the EAR recommendations. Further, Housing Element Policies 1.3, 1.4, 2.1, 2.7, and 2.11 adequately support development of affordable housing impact fee programs, such as impact fee deferrals. 9 ( r STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Collier County Planning CommiSsion forward the 2006 EAR-base(;j-GMP amendments to the Board of County Commissioners with a recommendation to Transmit to' the Florida Department of Community Affairs.

Capital Improvement Element 4-6-06 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES GOAL 1: [Renumbered text, page 2] TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES CONCURRENT WITH NEW DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN OR EXCEED ADOPTED STANDARDS FOR LEVELS OF SERVICE. OBJECTIVE 1o1 (PUBLIC FACILITY LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS): [Revised text, page 2] Identify and define types of public facilities for which the County is responsible, establish standards for levels of service for each such public facility, and determine what quantity of additional public facilities are is needed in order to achieve and maintain the standards. Policy 101.1: [Renumbered and revised text, page 2] The County shall establish standards for levels of service for two categories of public facilities, as follows: Category .A.. P Eublic facilities are facilities which appear in other elements of this comprehensive plan, including arterial and collector roads, surface water management systems, potable water systems, sanitary sewer systems, solid waste disposal facilities, and parks and recreation facilities. The standards for levels of service of Category j\. County provided public facilities shall apply to development orders issued by the County and to the County's annual budget, and to the appropriate individual element of this Comprehensive Plan. The standards for levels of service of Category .A~ 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. Category B public facilities are facilities for tae Cmmty's library, jail, and emergency medical services. The standards for levels of service of Category B pl:lblic facilities saall apply to the County's Clflnl:lal budget, but not apply to developmeflt orders issued by the County. Public facilities shall include land, structures, the initial furnishings and equipment (incll:lding ambulances, fire apparatus, and library collection materials), 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 101.2: [Renumbered and revised text, page 3] 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 = (S x D) - I. Words underlined are added; words strl:lsk tRrough are deleted. 1 Capital Improvement Element 4-6-06 Where Q is the quantity of ptTbiic facility needed, S is the standard for level of service, o is the demand, such as the population, and I is the inventory of existing facilities. 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 wfH shall review all rezone petitions req1:lests, SRA designation applications, conditional use petitions, and proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) affecting the overall countywide County \Vide density or intensity of permissible development.. with consideration of their impact on both the variable "0" in the formula Q = (S x D) - I, and the overall roadway County transportation system. The Board County Commission shall not approve any such petition or application rezone req1:lest, 8R\ designation, conditional use petitiofl, or FLUE amendmeet, that which significantly impacts either: (1) a deficieRt roadway segment; or (2) the BEBR (B1:lreau of Economie and Business Research at the University of Florida) high raflge grov.th rate population projeetions through the five years of the ann1:lally 1:lpdated Capital Improvement Plan, on a continuo1:ls1y rolling basis, afld thefl 95% of the BEBR high raflge growth rate thereafter, for the variable "D", l:lflless ORe of the followiRg simultafteo1:ls1y OCC1:lrs: 1. a deficient roadway segment: 2. the weighted population based upon the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Florida (BEBR) high range growth rate population proiections through the five years of the annually updated Capital Improvement Plan, on a continuously rolling basis, and then 95% of the BEBR high range growth rate population thereafter, for all public facilities except potable water and sanitary sewer, for the variable "0", unless one of the three items listed below simultaneously occurs: or, 3. the peak population based upon the BEBR high range growth rate population projections through the first ten years, on a continuously rolling basis, and then the average of the medium and high range growth rate population proiections thereafter, for potable water and sanitary sewer facilities, for the variable "0", unless one of the three items listed below simultaneously occurs: O}:. 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; Words underlined are added; words ctruok through are deleted. 2 Capital Improvement Element 4-6-06 i2} The adopted population-standard used for calculation of "Q" in the formula Q = (S x D) - I is amended based on appropriate data and analysis; {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 generating potential for increased countywide County '.Vide population greater than 3% of the weighted population projections for parks, solid waste, water, sewer, and drainage facilities, greater than 3 % of peak population estimates and projections as explained in Section B above for potable water and sanitary sewer facilities. or as generating a volume of traffic equal to or greater than 3% 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 lfmi.ts. limitations and conditions in the Conservation and Coastal Management and Future Land Use Elements of this Growth Management Plan. 2. 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 Band 0 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. The terms, "weighted" and "peak" used when referring to population figures are explained in the Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR). Words underlined are added; words strblol< throblgh are deleted. 3 Capital Improvement Element 4-6-06 Policy t.l.3: [Renumbered text, page 4] The determination of location of improvements to expand public facilities will take into consideration the projected growth patterns as identified in the County's annual population projections. Where applicable, public facility improvements will be coordinated with the capital facility plans of any other governmental entity providing public facilities within Collier County. Policy t.-l.4: [Renumbered and revised text, page 4] Public facility improvements within a category 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. 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 the 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. Policy t.-1.5: [Renumbered and revised text, pages 5 and 6] The standards for levels of service of public facilities shall be as follows: Category}....

The Annual Update and Inventory Report on Public Facilities (AUIR) on the capacity and levels of service of public facilities, as described in Policy 1.1 above, compared to the standards for levels of service adopted in Policy -h 1.5 of this Element. The AUIR summarizes the actual capacity of existing public facilities and forecasts the capacity of existing and planned public facilities for each of the five succeeding fiscal years. For the purposes of long range capital facility planning, a ten year forecast of projected needed capacity is also done. These forecasts are based on the most recently updated Schedule of Capital Improvements in this Capital Improvement Element. +fie Notwithstanding any other provisions in the this Capital Improvement Element, the annual approval of the AUIR and the identified needed projects and revenues by the Board of County Commissioners constitutes evidence of the capacity and levels of service of Category ./\ public facilities for the purpose of issuing development orders during the 12 months following the approval of the AUIR.

Standards for levels of service are applied within appropriate geographical areas of the County. Standards for County-Wide public facilities are applied to development orders based on levels of service throughout the County. 2. Standards for public facilities that serve less than the entire County are applied to development orders on the basis of levels of service within assigned areas. 3. Levels of service are compared to adopted standards on an annual basis. Annual monitoring is used, rather than case-by-case monitoring, for the following reasons: a. annual monitoring corresponds to annual expenditures for capital improvements during the County's fiscal year; and b. annual monitoring covers seasonal variations in levels of service. 7. 8eeeRd 5 year Third Evaluation and Appraisal Report The required second 5 year third Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) will address the implementation of the goals, objectives and policies of the this Capital Improvement Element.

Land Use Issues [Revised text, page 6] The Transportation Element is closely related to the Future Land Use Element. It has long been the pattern that the development of land necessitates improvements and expansion to the transportation system. The two elements are so closely tied, in fact, that changes or shifts in the land use patterns can drastically impact the performance of the roadway system. It is for that reason that the County requires most land development proposals (e.g., DRI, rezone and provisional conditional use requests) to submit a Traffic Impact Statement. An analysis of the proposal's impact is prepared and submitted to the recommending and approving authorities. As an alternative to this pattern of demand driving the transportation system improvements, the County has begun to explore ways to have the roadway system guide the patterns and densities of development. The County can determine the type of roadway system it wishes to maintain at the adopted level of service and then take steps to permit the type of land uses that will be consistent with that system. In this way, the County will be in a better position to keep the demand for transportation services from outstripping the supply of the roadway system. The County has also recognized the importance of good site planning as it relates to a projects ingress and egress from the major roadway system. Inadequate control of access points, median openings and signalized intersections can accelerate the deterioration of the systems overall level of service just as fast as the increases in traffic volumes. The County has developed and adopted policies to control the number, location and type of access points to the road network. These policies are based on the Collier County Access Management Control Policy (Resolution No. 92-42) and follow-up Resolution No. 01-24e1, and existing road and land use conditions, and are outlined in Section 4.04.02 ffi of the Land Development Code. ..^..n access management plan map exists for each mixed use activity center. The purpose of the access management plans is to minimize the adyerse impacts to safety, capacity and operating conditions of the roadv/ays, ..:hile providing adequate access to those properties. ..^..ccess points on state controlled roads are subject to approval by the Florida Department of Transportation. J~. Marco Island Airport Impacts [Corrected numbering error, page 7] D. IMPLENTATION STRATEGY [Revised text, page 9] As part of the Transportation Element, the County established minimum acceptable level of service standards on the existing highway system. For County facilities, the level of service standard to be maintained is "0" or "E" as measured on a peak hour basis. Several County and State facilities have been given a minimum LOS "E" standard. To maintain the adopted LOS on roadways, the County has implemented a concurrency management regulatory program that ties issuance of development orders to the demonstration of adequate capacity on all roadway segments that would be significantly Words underlined are added; words struok through are deleted. Transportation Element 4-6-06 impacted by new development. In surruriary this program maintains an. inventory of the following for each arterial and collector roadway segment: . Actual traffic on each segment as determined through an annual traffic counting program. . The peak hour service capacity as determined by engineering analyses performed by the Transportation Division, and . Capacity that will be used by new development for which a Certificate of Adequate Public Facilities has been issued. In order to prevent sudden unanticipated LOS failures, the County wtH adopted, '.vithin one year or sooner, a "real time" "checkbook accounting" concurrency management process on February 11, 2004. See the Adequate Public Facilities OrdiRaace Requirements (Division 3.15 Sections 6.02.00 and 10.02.07 of the Land Development Code) for details of this process. 1. Monitoring [Revised text, page 9] Diyision 3.15 Section 6.02.00 of the Land Development Code is also known as the Collier County Adequate Public Facilities OrdiRance (APFO) Requirements. It describes the annual count program done on County roads to determine their annual average daily traffic (AADT). It describes how the relationship between that AADT and the segment's adopted level of service (LOS) standard determines the road segment's level of service. The current levels of service at which road segments are operating are reported annually in the Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR). This report indicates which segments are operating at levels of service worse than their adopted standard LOS. It also contains predictions of when certain segments will reach levels of service that exceed their adopted standard LOS. Although traffic volumes are expressed as AADT, LOS calculations are done to ensure adequate levels of service. Peak season, peak hour traffic conditions are skewed in Collier County because of the heavy influx of seasonal residents and tourists. As such, it is deemed an inappropriate and unreasonable imposition on taxpayers to provide a roadway system designed for the peak of the peak season. Therefore, the LOS calculations are based on traffic conditions experienced for 10 months of the year with the peak seasonal and tourist months of February and March omitted from the analysis. Introduction: [New text, page 10,11] The Transportation Element establishes policies for the movement of people, goods, and vehicles throughout unincorporated Collier County. Collier County seeks to provide a multimodal transportation system that is safe. cost- effective to construct and maintain, accessible to all residents and visitors, energy- efficient, and capable of serving both existing and future travel demand. The County's transportation system must be compatible with and support the goals. obiectives and Words underlined are added: words struck through are deleted. 2 Transportation Element 4-6-06 policies of the Future Land Use Elerrrent and the other Elements of the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP). The Collier County Transportation Element meets the requirements of Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes (FS), the "Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Act," and the Florida Department of Community Affairs Rule 9J-5.019, Florida Administrative Code (FAC). The County has coordinated this Transportation Element with the Long Range Transportation Plan of the Collier County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). As noted above, the Transportation Element addresses the movement of people and goods around Collier County.

Land Use Issues [Revised text, page 6] The Transportation Element is closely related to the Future Land Use Element. It has long been the pattern that the development of land necessitates improvements and expansion to the transportation system. The two elements are so closely tied, in fact, that changes or shifts in the land use patterns can drastically impact the performance of the roadway system. It is for that reason that the County requires most land development proposals (e.g., DRI, rezone and pro';isional conditional use requests) to submit a Traffic Impact Statement. An analysis of the proposal's impact is prepared and submitted to the recommending and approving authorities. As an alternative to this pattern of demand driving the transportation system improvements, the County has begun to explore ways to have the roadway system guide the patterns and densities of development. The County can determine the type of roadway system it wishes to maintain at the adopted level of service and then take steps to permit the type of land uses that will be consistent with that system. In this way, the County will be in a better position to keep the demand for transportation services from outstripping the supply of the roadway system. The County has also recognized the importance of good site planning as it relates to a projec(s ingress and egress from the major roadway system. Inadequate control of access points, median openings and signalized intersections can accelerate the deterioration of the systems overall level of service just as fast as the increases in traffic volumes. The County has developed and adopted policies to control the number, location and type of access points to the road network. These policies are based on the Collier County Access Maaagement Control Policy (Resolution No. 92-42) and follow-up Resolution No. 01-24e1, and existing road and land use conditions, and are outlined in Section 4.04.02 ffi of the Land Development Code. An access management plan map exists for each mixed use activity ceater. The p1.:lrpose of the access management plaas is to minimize the adverse impacts to safety, capacity and operatiag conditioas of the roadv;ays, ..';hile providing adequate access to those properties. ;\.ccess points on state controlled roads are subjcct to approval by the Florida Department of Traasportation. ~~. Marco Island Airport Impacts [Corrected numbering error, page 7] D. IMPLENTATION STRATEGY [Revised text, page 9] As part of the Transportation Element, the County established minimum acceptable level of service standards on the existing highway system. For County facilities, the level of service standard to be maintained is "0" or "E" as measured on a peak hour basis. Several County and State facilities have been given a minimum LOS "E" standard. To maintain the adopted LOS on roadways, the County has implemented a concurrency management regulatory program that ties issuance of development orders to the demonstration of adequate capacity on all roadway segments that would be significantly Words underlined are added; words e;truek tRroLlgh are deleted. Transportation Element 4-6-06 impacted by new development. In summary this program maintains an inventory of the following for each arterial and collector roadway segment: . Actual traffic on each segment as determined through an annual traffic counting program. . The peak hour service capacity as determined by engineering analyses performed by the Transportation Division, and . Capacity that will be used by new development for which a Certificate of Adequate Public Facilities has been issued. In order to prevent sudden unanticipated LOS failures, the County will adopted, TvYithin one year or sooner, a "real time" "checkbook accounting" concurrency management process on February 11, 2004. See the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance Requirements (Division 3.15 Sections 6.02.00 and 10.02.07 of the Land Development Code) for details of this process. 1. Monitoring [Revised text, page 9] Division 3.15 Section 6.02.00 of the Land Development Code is also known as the Collier County Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance ("\PFO) Requirements. It describes the annual count program done on County roads to determine their annual average daily traffic (AADT). It describes how the relationship between that AADT and the segment's adopted level of service (LOS) standard determines the road segment's level of service. The current levels of service at which road segments are operating are reported annually in the Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR). This report indicates which segments are operating at levels of service worse than their adopted standard LOS. It also contains predictions of when certain segments will reach levels of service that exceed their adopted standard LOS. Although traffic volumes are expressed as AADT, LOS calculations are done to ensure adequate levels of service. Peak season, peak hour traffic conditions are skewed in Collier County because of the heavy influx of seasonal residents and tourists. As such, it is deemed an inappropriate and unreasonable imposition on taxpayers to provide a roadway system designed for the peak of the peak season. Therefore, the LOS calculations are based on traffic conditions experienced for 10 months of the year with the peak seasonal and tourist months of February and March omitted from the analysis. Introduction: [New text, page 10,11] The Transportation Element establishes policies for the movement of people, goods, and vehicles throughout unincorporated Collier County. Collier County seeks to provide a multimodal transportation system that is safe, cost- effective to construct and maintain, accessible to all residents and visitors, energy- efficient, and capable of serving both existing and future travel demand.

INTRODUCTION [New Language, page 1] This portion of the Collier County Growth Management Plan inventories both the natural conditions and stormwater management activities within unincorporated Collier County. In Collier County. there are two (2) primary service providers with regard to the provision of stormwater management services. The County's Transportation Services Division maintains drainage systems associated with County and State Roadways as well as the Secondary Drainage System. The Big Cypress Basin Board. an arm of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). maintains the larger. regional surface water management systems within Collier County. The regional drainage system is also referred to as the Primary Drainage System. However. management of stormwater is concerned not only with flood prevention (a quantity issue), but also with the removal of various pollutants picked up by the stormwater as it flows across the County's developed land areas (a quality issue). Such pollutants can include oils. greases. heavy metals. pesticides. fertilizers and other substances, which can have a deleterious impact on the County's natural systems and, above all. its groundwater quality. Note that. in this respect. there is overlap in the intended purpose between 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. The term "stormwater management" refers to a set of comprehensive strategies for dealing with both stormwater quantity and stormwater quality issues. The primary component of these strategies is the need to ensure that the volume. rate. timing and pollutant load of stormwater runoff after development is similar to that which occun-ed prior to development. To accomplish this task, stormwater management entities employ a combination of structural and non-structural techniques. Non-structural techniques emphasize preservation or restoration of natural drainage features to promote infiltration. filtering and slowing of runoff. Structural techniques include the variety of manmade channels and control structures maintained within the primary and secondary drainage systems. The obiective of stormwater management is to develop a combination of techniques. which provides for adequate pollutant removal and flood protection in the most economical manner. One of the key principles of current stormwater management techniques is recognition of the need for basin-wide (or watershed basin) planning. The stormwater management system has to be designed so as to ensure that the final outlet point has adequate capacity to handle all discharges from the upstream portion of the watershed under conditions present at the time of design. Subsequent development upstream must then utilize stormwater management techniques and systems. which will maintain predevelopment run-off conditions so that the capacity of the downstream portion of the watershed is not exceeded. In this respect. there is an overlap between the intended purpose of the Drainage Sub-element and Goal 2 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element. including the Watershed Management Plans discussed under Obiective 2.1 of the CCME.

With the exception of housing opportunities provided to citizens of very modest means, the provision and maintenance of housing is traditionally a function of the private market. The development of private housing in Collier County is driven by an expensive housing stock; effectively excluding low-income and working class families from the housing market. Thus, there is a need for the County to find ways to encourage the provision of affordable-workforce housing for these families. In Collier County, encouragement of the proVISIOn of affordable-workforce housing is the responsibility of the Collier County Operations Support and Housing Department. The purpose of the Department's grants and affordable-workforce housing programs is to increase the supply of affordable-workforce housing countywide. through management of the County's Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The trust fund has enabled the County to implement the following programs: · Impact fee deferrals. · Housing rehabilitation and emergency repair. · Down pavment / closing cost assistance. · Land acquisition with new construction. · Demolition with new construction. · Special needs housing and pre-approved building plans. · Meeting community needs by facilitating the creation of affordable-workforce housing opportunities; the improvement of communities: and the sustainabilitv of neighborhoods. Collier County will continue to address its affordable-workforce housing deficit by working collaboratively with non-profit groups. governmental agencies, and public/private coalitions to coordinate activities and effectively leverage the resources available to the entire County. The most current data available from the University of Florida Shimberg Center is considered in assessing the County's affordable-workforce housing deficit.

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 ProRortionate 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. JOINT CITY OF NAPLES/COUNTY POLICIES Policy 1.1: [Revised text, page 3] Collier County shall Ygtilize intergovernmental agreements between the County and the City of Naples to coordinate SHIP, CDBG, and other State, Federal and private funds to improve coordination and efficiency in the provision of housing delivery assistance.

INTRODUCTION [N ew text, page 1] Subsection 163.3177 (5)( d). Florida Statutes requires all local governments within the State of Florida to have, as part of their respective Local Government Comprehensive Plans, an Element, dealing with "the conservation, use, and protection of natural resources in the area, including air, water, water recharge areas, wetlands, water wells, estuarine marshes, soils, beaches, shores, flood plains, rivers, bays, lakes, harbors, forests, fisheries and wildlife, marine habitat, minerals, and other natural and environmental resources." In 2002, the State Legislature made a change to Subsection 163.3177 (6) (d), F.S., which requires local Conservation Elements to consider the applicable Water Management District water supply plans or water management plans. More specifically, the Conservation Element must "assess their current, as well as proiected, water needs and sources for at least a 1 O-year period. " In addition to the Conservation Element, Subsection 163.3177 (5)(g), Florida Statutes. also requires certain designated local governments (including Collier County) to have an element of the local comprehensive plan dealing with coastal management. This Coastal Management Element must "set forth the policies that shall guide the local government's decisions and program implementation with respect to the following obiectives:" 1. Maintenance, restoration, and enhancement of the overall quality of the coastal zone enviromnent, including, but not limited to, its amenities and aesthetic values. 2. Continued existence of viable populations of all species of wildlife and marine life. 3. The orderly and balanced utilization and preservation, consistent with sound conservation principles, of all living and nonliving coastal zone resources. 4. A voidance of irreversible and irretrievable loss of coastal zone resources. 5.

Words underlined are added; words struck through 3re deleted. Conservation and Coastal Management Element 4-6-06 10. Preservation. including sensitive adaptive use of historic and archaeological resources. The statute further relates the functions of the Conservation and Coastal Elements so that, in effect. local governments in designated coastal areas. such as Collier County. are required to prepare a Conservation and Coastal Management Element. which fulfills the requirements for both Elements. Accordingly, Collier County'S Conservation and Coastal Management Element is divided into thirteen (13) separate goal areas. These may be summarized as follows: 1. Protection of natural resources~ 2.

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. Al!-eOn-site er and off-site preserve areas shall be identified as separate traets and protected by a permanent conservation easement 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 preservation Preserve areas shall reflect the following criteria in descending order of priority: a. Wetland or upland Aareas 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 ~lement. b. Xeric Scrub, Dune and Strand, Hardwood Hammocks. fb. Onsite wetlands having functionality scores of at least 0.65 WRAP or 0.7 UMAM, unless permitted for impact preserved 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 1999). UMAM means Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method as described in Chapter 62-345, F.A.C. Qe. Upland habitat shall be part of the preservation requirement '.vhen wetlands alone do not constitute all of the requirement. Upland habitats have the follo'.ving descending order of priority: -h Any upland habitat that serves as a buffer to a wetland area as identified in Paragraph (4 )c. above, 2. Listed plant and animal species habitats, Words underlined are added; words struck through are deletod. 15 Conservation and Coastal Management Element 4-6-06 3. Xerio Scrub, 1. Dune and Strand, Hardwood Hammocks, e. ~. Dry Prairie, Pine Flatwoods, and L 6. All other upland native habitats. d. Exceptions to these priorities are noted in (7) below. (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. such as pervious nature trails or boardv/alks are allmved within preserve areas, as long as any clearing required to facilitate these uses does not impact the minimum required vegetation. 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. b. Receipt of treated stormwater discharge where such use, including conveyance, treatment and discharge structures, does not result in any adverse impact the naturally occurring, native vegetation, 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 17-302. 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 (i). State and federal management plans consistent with the requirements of the LDC will be accepted. (7) 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 acti';ity. Criteria for allo'.ving these exceptions include: (a) Where site elevations or conditions requires plaoement 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 can not 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.

Parcels that were legally cleared of native vegetation prior to January 1989 shall be exempt from this requirement. ~ Preserv~atioH areas shall be interconneoted '.vithin the site and to adjoining off site preservation areas or wildlife oorridors. (+008) 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. eM 9) Within one year of the effective date of these amendments. the County shall adopt land development regulations that allow for all or a portion of the native vegetation preservation retention requirement to be satisfied by a monetary payment. land donation. or other appropriate method of compensation to an acceptable land acquisition program. as required by the land development regulations. The land development regulations shall provide criteria to determine when this alternative will be allowed. The criteria will be based upon the following provisions: a. The amount. type and quality of the native vegetation on site; b. The presence of conservation lands adioining the site; c. The presence of listed species and consideration of Federal and State agencY' technical assistance; and d. The type of land use proposed. such as. but not limited to. affordable housing. The land development regulations shall include a methodology to establish the monetary value. land donation. or other appropriate method of compensation. (++ 10) 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.

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 beneticialland uses. Policy 6.1.2: [Revise text, pages 17, 18, 19] 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 preservation and vegetation retention standards and criteria: 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 that, for Seetion 21, Tovmship 19 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. c. Non-NRP A 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 ofthe 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 Words underlined are added; words struck through are deleted. 18 Conservation and Coastal Management Element 4-6-06 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 75% or less canopy coverage of melalueca or other invasive exotic 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. All-eOn-site ef and off-site preserve areas shall be identified as separate tracts and protected by a permanent conservation easement mechanism to prohibit further development, consistent with the requirements of this policy. 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 Countv's land development regulations. (4) Selection of native vegetation to be retained as the preserve areas shall reflect the following criteria in descending order of priority: a. Onsite '.votlands shall be preserved pursuant to Policy 6.2.5 of this element; ~b:-- Wetland or upland Aweas known to be utilized by animal 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. Parcels containing gopher tortoises shall protect the largest, most contiguous gopher tortoise habitat ','lith the greatest number of active burrows, and provide a connection to off site adjacent gopher tortoise preserves. b. Xeric Scrub, Dune and Strand, Hardwood Hammocks. c.h~ Onsite wetlands preserved pursuant to Policy 6.2.5 of this Element; e. Upland habitat shall be part of the preservation requirement when wetlands alone do not constitute all of the requirement. Upland habitats have thc follo'.ving descending order of priority: g. -t. Any upland habitat that serves as a buffer to a wetland area, as identified in (4)c. above. 2. Listed plant and animal species habitats, 3. Xeric Scrub, 1. Dune and Strand, Hardwood Hammocks, e. ~. Dry Prairie, Pine Flatwoods, and Words underlined are added; words struck through are deleted. 19 Conservation and Coastal Management Element 4-6-06 [. 6,. All other upland native habit'l.ts. (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. such as pervious Hature trails or board';ialks are allo':Ied within preserve areus, as long as aH)' clearing required to facilitate these uses does not impact the minimum required vegetation. 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 re~ulations will also provide criteria to define appropriate passive recreational uses. b. Receipt of treated stormwater dischar~e where such use. including conveyance. treatment and discharge structures. does not result in any adverse impact on the naturally occurring, native vegetation, as determined by criteria set forth in the land development regulations. Dischar~e to preserves having wetlands requires treatment that will meet water quality standards as set forth in Chapter 17-302, 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 re~ulations 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 (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 NRP A 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. Words underlined are added; words struck through are deleted. 20 Conservation and Coastal Management Element 4-6-06 (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) Preser,'ution areGS shall be interconnected within the site and to adjoining off site preservation areas or wildlife corridors; (+2-11 )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 6.1.9: [N 0 change to text, page 21] Objective 6.2: [Revised text, page 21 J The County shall protect and conserve wetlands and the natural functions of wetlands pursuant to the appropriate policies under Goal 6. The following policies provide criteria to make this objective measurable. These policies shall apply to all of Collier County except for the Eastern Lands Study l\rea, for '.vhich policies are required to be adopted by November 1, 2002. The County's wetland protection policies and strategies shall be coordinated with the Watershed Management Plans as required by Obiective 2.1 of this Element. Policy 6.2.1: [No change to text, page 21J Policy 6.2.2: [No change to text, page 21J Policy 6.2.3: [Revised text, page 21,22, 23J 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 Obiective 2.1 of this Element. However, !+he 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. 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 lands 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 NRP A or Sending designations within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District or land/easement acquisition, or innovative landowner incentives. Protection measures for wetlands and wetland systems located within the Eastern Lands portioH of the County's Rural and f...gricultural Assessment (depicted on the FLUM) '.vill be adopted prior to November 1, 2002 northeastern portion of Collier County, excluding the community of lmmokalee, 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 Wwithin the Urban and Estates designated areas of the County, the County will rely on 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 Words underlined are added; words struck through are deleted. 23 Conservation and Coastal Management Element 4-6-06 and require mItigation for such impacts, this the permIttmg 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 by 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 boundary boundaries of the land designated as 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 U se 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 Desiznation Section V) specifies specify that site alterations shall be limited to 10% of the total site. A large percentage 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. (Land Use Designation Section V (3) Natural Resource Protection Areas (NRP As) Major wetland systems and regional flow-ways were used as criteria to establish the NRP A Overlay District as shown on the Future Land Use Map. and as discussed in FLUE Land Use Designation, Section V.C. These areas identify include high functioning wetland systems in the County and, although portions of the NRP A Overlay include lands within the Conservation Designation, represent un additional approximately 12%~ of the County~ wetlands... that which are not located in Conservation Lands. Based on the relatively high concentration of Words underlined are added; words struck through are deleted. 24 Conservation and Coastal Management Element 4-6-06 wetlands within NRP A designated lands, incompatible land uses shall be directed away from these areas. Allowable land uses feF within NRP As are also subject to native vegetation retention and preservation standards of 90%. (Reference the NRPA Overlay in the PLUE.) (4) Rural Fringe Mixed Use Mixed Use District Sending Lands Best available data indicates that 16,000i: acres of wetlands are contained within designated Sending Lands and that such wetlands constitute constituting 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 ofthe 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 by restricting through restrictions on allowable uses. (Reference FLUE Rural Fringe }.lixed Use District.) 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. (Reference CCHE Policy 6. 7. J.) (5) Flowway Stewardship Areas Ire-numbered to reflect merger of Ordinance No. 2002-32 and 2002-54J Flowway Stewardship Areas have been designated Wwithin the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA), as designated 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 primarily for the most part privately owned wetlands that are located within the Camp Keais Strand and Okaloacoochee Slough. These lands form the primary principal wetland flowway systems in the RLSA. The Overlay provides an incentive to permanently protect FSAs by through the creation and transfer of Stewardship Credits,-,- It also contains provisions that eliminate elimination of incompatible uses from the FSAs and, which establish establishment of protection measures. (6) Watershed Alanagement 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 Obiective 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 Words underlined are added; words struck through are deleted. 25 Conservation and Coastal Management Element 4-6.06 Urban Designated Areas subject to HIe 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 Oeverlays, 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 (Ref-crencc FLUE Rblr-cll Fringe Mixed Use District.). (5) The protection of wetlands that are part of an established watershed management plan, as per Obiective 2.1 of this Element. (6) Land or easement acquisition. (7) Land owner incentives, such as transferable development rights, tax relief. or USDA grants for restoration. Policy 6.2.4: [Revised text, page 23] Within the Urban Designated area, the County shall 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 shall direct impacts away from such wetlands. . This policy shall be implemented as follows: (1) Where permits issued by such jurisdictional agencies allow for impacts to wetlands within this designated area and require mitigation for such impacts, this shall be deemed to meet the objective of protection and conservation of wetlands and the natural functions of wetlands within this area-:, except for wetlands that are part of a Watershed Management Plan preserve area. The County shall direct impacts away from such wetlands. (2) The County shall require the appropriate jurisdictional permit prior to the issuance of a final local development order permitting site improvements, except in the case of single-family residences~ which are not part of an approved development or are not platted. unless the residences are within a watershed management conservation area identified in a Watershed Management Plan developed pursuant to policies supporting Obiective 2.1 of this Element. in which case the appropriate jurisdictional permit is required prior to the issuance of a final local development order permitting site improvements. (3) Collier County will work with the jurisdictional agencies and applicants to encourage mitigation to occur within targeted areas of the County including, but not limited to: Natural Resource Protection Areas (NRPAs); lands targeted for a Words underlined are added; words E:truck through ~HO doloted. 26 Conservation and Coastal Management Element 4-6-06 acquisition by a public or private conservation entity such as CR.E:'V lands; f*:lblie or private mitigation banks; wetlands that are part of an approved watershed management plan. as per Objective 2.1 of this Element; and other areas appropriate for mitigation, such as flow ways and areas containing habitat for ~ltmt €If animal listed species. (4) Within the Imrnokalee Urban Designated Area, there may exists high quality wetland system~ 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. ,'\S part of the County's Evaluatiofl and '^1ppraisal Report (K'\R), the COl:mty shall idefltify this area and map its boufldaries on the Future Land Use Map. This area has been ideHtified and is shovfll on the Futme Lafld Use Map for the Irnmokalee ,'\rca Master Plan. This area is generally identified as the area designated as Environmentally Sensitive on the Imrnokalee Future Land Use Map and is located in the southwest Irnrnokalee 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. Policy 6.2.5: [Revised text, page 23] (Note: This revision applies only to the first paragraph of the subject policy.) Within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District. and that Dortion of the Lake TraffordlCamD Keais Strand Svstem which is contained within the Immokalee Urban Desifmated 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 below 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: Policy 6.2.6: [Revised text, page 25] [re-numbered to reflect merger of Ordinance No. 2002-32 and 2002-54J Within the Urban Designation and the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, frequiredf wetland preservation areas, buffer areas, and mitigation areas shall be dedicated as conservation and common areas in the form of conservation easements and shall be identified or platted as separate tracts; and, in the case of a Planned Unit Development (PUD), these areas shall also be depicted on the PUD Master Plan. These areas shall be maintained free from trash and debris and from Category I invasive exotic plants, as defined by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council. Land uses allowed in these areas shall be limited to those listed in Policy 6.2.5(5)d of this element and shall not include any Words underlined are added; words struck throllgh are deletod. 27 Conservation and Coastal Management Element 4-6-06 other activities that are detrimental to Qrainage, flood control, water conservation, erosion control or fish and wildlife habitat conservation and preservation. Policy 6.2.7: [Revised text, pages 25, 26] Within the Estates Designated Area and the Rural Settlement Area, the County shall rely on the wetland jurisdictional determinations and permit requirements issued by the applicable jurisdictional agencY'1'.exceDt for wetlands that are Dart of a Watershed Manal:!ement Plan oreserve area. The Countv shall direct imDacts awav 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 Obiective 2.1 of this Element. in which case the appropriate iurisdictional 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 Obiective 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 adiacent to such wetlands. subiect 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 Obiective 2.1 of this Element. the appropriate iurisdictional permit is required prior to the issuance of a building permit. (4)- Within one (I) year of the adoptiofl of these amendments, Collier County shall continue to work with federal and state agencies to identify properties that have a high probabilities probability of wetlands and ef animal listed species occurrence. The identification process will be based on Hhydric soils data and other applicable criteria. Once this identification process is complete, the County will determine if it the process is sufficiently accurate to require federal and state wetland approvals prior to issuing the issuance of a building permit within these areas. The County shall use tffis. 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. Words underlined are added; words ctruck through me deleted. 28 Conservation and Coastal Management Element 4-6-06 (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.

It is intended that Urban ggesignated A~reas accommodate the majority of population growth and that new intensive land uses be located within them. Accordingly, the Urban A~rea will accommodate residential uses and a variety of non-residential uses. The Urban QQesignated A~rea, which includes Immokalee, Copeland, Plantation Island, Chokoloskee, Port of the Islands, and Goodland Marco Islan.d, in addition to the greater Naples area, represents less than 10% of Collier County's land area. The boundaries of the Urban ggesignated A~reas have been established based on several factors, including: patterns of existing development; patterns of approved, but unbuilt, development; natural resources; water management; hurricane risk; existing and proposed public facilities; population projections and the land needed to accommodate the projected population growth. Urban ggesignated A~reas will accommodate the following uses: a. Residential uses including single family, multi-family, duplex, and mobile home.

To help in this goal, Collier County has committed to the assessment of red-cockaded woodpecker habitat in the Amended Collier County Growth Management Plan Future Land Use Element (by Ordinance No. 2002-32 on June 19, 2002), and is defined in the Future Land Use Desianation Description Section, SubSection IX. Overlavs and Special Features, B. North Belle Meade Overlav, Plannina Considerations, part 4. Red Cockaded Woodpeckers (RCW) specifically as follows: "RCW nesting and foraging habitat shall be mapped and protected from land use activities within Sending Lands, and Section 24 designated Neutral Lands. Although RCW nesting and foraging habitat shall be mapped within Sending areas within the NBM Overlay, this shall be accomplished by a study specific to Section 24 conducted by Collier County within one year of the effective date of the NBM Overlay. Within Section 24, the Neutral designation may be adjusted based upon the findings of the updated RCW nesting and foraging habitat study. " RED-COCKADED WOODPECKER Picoides borealis (RCW), STATUS, DESCRIPTION, DISTRIBUTION, HABITAT REQUIREMENTS, POULATION DYNAMICS, AND MANAGEMENT: STATUS: Endangered (FWS), Threatened (FWC) DESCRIPTION: About the size of the common cardinal, the red-cockaded woodpecker is approximately 7 inches long (18 to 20 centimeters), with a wingspan of about 15 inches (35 to 38 centimeters). Its back is barred with black and white horizontal stripes. The red-cockaded woodpecker's most distinguishing feature is a black cap and nape that encircle large white cheek patches. Rarely visible, except perhaps during the breeding season and periods of territorial defense, the male has a small red streak on each side of its black cap called a cockade, hence its name. The red-cockaded woodpecker feeds primarily on beetles, ants, roaches, caterpillars, wood-boring insects, and spiders, and occasionally fruits and berries. DISTRIBUTION: Red-cockaded woodpeckers are a territorial, non-migratory, cooperative breeding species, frequently having the same mate for several years. The nesting season lasts from April through June. The breeding female lays three to four eggs in the breeding male's roost cavity. Group members 2 North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Dec. 10, 2003 incubate the small white eggs for 10 to 12 days. Once hatched, the nestlings remain in the nest cavity for about 26 days. Upon fledging, the young often remain with the parents, forming groups of up to nine members, but more typically three to four members. There is only one pair of breeding birds within each group, and they normally raise only a single brood each year. The other group members called helpers, usually males from the previous breeding season, help incubate the eggs and raise the young. Juvenile females generally leave the group before the next breeding season, in search of solitary male groups. Historically, this woodpecker's range extended from Florida to New Jersey and Maryland, as far west as Texas and Oklahoma, and inland to Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Today it is estimated that there are about 5,000 groups of red- cockaded woodpeckers, or 12,500 birds from Florida to Virginia and west to southeast Oklahoma and eastern Texas, representing about 1 percent of the woodpecker's original range. They have been extirpated in New Jersey, Maryland, Tennessee and Missouri. The red-cockaded woodpecker makes its home in mature pine forests. Longleaf pines (Pinus palustris) are most commonly preferred, but other species of southern pine, such as the South Florida slash pine (Pinus elliotii, var. densa) are also acceptable. While other woodpeckers bore out cavities in dead trees, where the wood is rotten and soft, the red-cockaded woodpecker is the only one which excavates cavities exclusively in living pine trees. The older pines favored by the red-cockaded woodpecker often suffer from a fungus called red heart disease which attacks the center of the trunk, causing the inner wood, the heartwood, to become soft. Cavities generally take from 1 to 3 years to excavate. The aggregate of cavity trees is called a cluster and may include 1 to 20 or more cavity trees on 3 to 60 acres. The average cluster is about 10 acres. Cavity trees that are being actively used have numerous, small resin wells which exude sap. The birds keep the sap flowing apparently as a cavity defense mechanism against rat snakes and possibly other predators. The typical territory for a group ranges from about 125 to 200 acres, but observers have reported territories running from a low of around 60 acres, to an upper extreme of more than 600 acres. The size of a particular territory is related to both habitat suitability and population density (A more detailed habitat description and requirements for the South Florida red- cockaded woodpeckers are covered in the section titled Distribution and habitats of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker in Florida). 3 North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Dec. 10, 2003 The red-cockaded woodpecker plays a vital role in the intricate web of life of the southern pine forests. A number of other birds and small mammals use the cavities excavated by red-cockaded woodpeckers, such as chickadees, bluebirds, titmice, and several other woodpecker species, including the downy, hairy, and red-bellied woodpecker. Larger woodpeckers may take over a red- cockaded woodpecker cavity, sometimes enlarging the hole enough to allow screech owls, wood ducks, and even raccoons to later move in. Flying squirrels, several species of reptiles and amphibians, and insects, primarily bees and wasps, also will use red-cockaded woodpecker cavities. As with most endangered species today, the major threats to the Red-cockaded Woodpecker are habitat loss and fragmentation. HABITAT REQUIREMENTS: Red-cockaded woodpeckers require open pine woodlands and savannahs with large old pines for nesting and roosting habitat (clusters). Large old pines are required as cavity trees because the cavities are excavated completely within inactive heartwood, so that the cavity interior remains free from resin that can entrap the birds. Also, old pines are preferred as cavity trees, because of the higher incidence of the heartwood decay that greatly facilitates cavity excavation. Cavity trees must be in open stands with little or no hardwood midstory and few or no overstory hardwoods. . . t; More prevalent to south Florida is \ '..' the rapid encroachment of the open pine savannahs by melaleuca trees, Brazilian peppers, and cabbage palms. The encroachment of these trees resulting from fire suppression, combined with hydrologic alterations, is a well-known cause of cluster abandonment. Red- cockaded woodpeckers also require abundant foraging habitat. Suitable foraging habitat preferably consists of mature pines with an open canopy, low to moderate densities of small pines, little or no hardwood or pine midstory, few or no overstory hardwoods, with groundcover dominated by native grasses and forbs. However, foraging has been observed throughout South Florida within dense canopies of pine and pine-cypress associated forests, with an open or 4 North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Dec. 10, 2003 moderately dense midstory of pine, cypress and melaleuca, when they are in proximity to suitable nest cavity habitat. Limiting factors are those that directly affect the number of potential breeding groups, because this is the primary determinant of population size and trend. Several factors currently impact the persistence of breeding groups. Foremost among these are the factors that limit suitable nesting habitat, namely fire suppression and lack of cavity trees. Fire suppression has resulted in loss of potential breeding groups throughout the range of red-cockaded woodpeckers, because the birds cannot tolerate the encroachment of non-pine midstory vegetation that results from lack of fire. This limitation is addressed through the use of prescribed burning. The Red-cockaded faces other problems as well: clearing of land for non forest uses, and the replacement of pine forests with hardwood, cabbage plam, and melaleuca, has played a major role by replacing the large acreages of hydric pine forests. Lack of cavity trees, or potential cavity trees, limits the number of breeding groups in most populations. This limitation can be addressed in the short-term through cavity management tools such as artificial cavities and restrictor plates, and over the long-term by growing large old trees in abundance and appropriate forest management. Another factor directly limiting the number of potential breeding groups is habitat fragmentation and consequent isolation of groups, which results in disrupted dispersal of helpers and failure to replace breeders. This limitation is best addressed through the appropriate development practices, placement of clusters of artificial cavities, and implementation of silvicultural and land management practices that minimize fragmentation and provide wildlife corridors. Another threat to the existence and recovery of the species is the loss of valuable genetic resources because of small size and isolation of populations. As currently limiting factors, such as lack of cavity tree habitats, are relieved, the continued growth and natural stability of red-cockaded woodpecker populations will depend on provision of abundant, good quality foraging habitat and careful conservation of genetic resources. POUlA TION DYNAMICS: Red-cockaded woodpeckers are a cooperatively breeding species, living in family groups that typically consist of a breeding pair with or without one or two male helpers. Females may become helpers, but do so at a much lower rate than males. The ecological basis of cooperative breeding in this species is unusually high variation in habitat quality, due to the 5 North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Dec. 10, 2003 presence or absence of a critical resource. This critical resource is the cavities that red-cockaded woodpeckers excavate in live pines, a task that commonly takes several years to complete. Group living has profound influence over population dynamics. In non- cooperatively breeding birds, breeders that die are replaced primarily by the young of the previous year. Thus, variation in reproduction and mortality can have strong, immediate impacts on the size of the breeding population. However, in red-cockaded woodpeckers and other cooperative breeders, a large pool of helpers is available to replace breeders. As a result, the size of the breeding population is not strongly affected by how many young are produced each year, or even on how many breeders may die. Because of this, we use the number of potential breeding groups rather than number of individuals as our measure of population size. Because of the cooperative breeding system, red-cockaded woodpecker populations are unusually resistant to environmental and demographic variation, but highly sensitive to the spatial arrangement of habitat. The buffering effect of helpers against annual variation operates only when helpers can readily occupy breeding vacancies as they arise. Helpers do not disperse very far and typically occupy vacancies on their natal territory or a neighboring one. If groups are isolated in space, dispersal of helpers to neighboring territories is disrupted and the buffering effect of the helper class is lost. When this happens, populations become much less likely to persist through time. Also, the cooperative breeding system does not allow rapid natural growth of populations. Colonization of unoccupied habitat is an exceedingly slow process under natural conditions, because cavities take long periods of time to excavate and birds do not occupy habitat without cavities. As forests age and old pines become abundant, rates of natural cavity excavation may increase. Understanding these three components of the population dynamics of red- cockaded woodpeckers provides us the foundation for recovery efforts: (1) population size and trend are determined by the number of potential breeding groups rather than annual variation in reproduction and survival; (2) the buffering capacity of the helper class must be maintained, by maintaining close aggregations of territories; and (3) colonization of unoccupied habitat will be very slow without management assistance. POPULATION AND SPECIES VIABILITY: Four types of threats to species and population viability have been identified: genetic changes (consisting of both inbreeding and genetic drift), demographic changes, environmental changes, and catastrophes. We now have some knowledge of population sizes of red- cockaded woodpeckers necessary to withstand these extinction threats, primarily from research performed with a spatially explicit, individually based simulation model of population dynamics developed specifically for this species. 6 North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Dec. 10, 2003 Red-cockaded woodpeckers exhibit inbreeding depression and inbreeding avoidance behaviors. Inbreeding is expected to affect population viability in populations of less than 40 potential breeding groups, and may be a significant factor affecting viability in isolated populations of 40 to 100 potential breeding groups as well. Immigration rates of 2 or more migrants per year can effectively reduce inbreeding in populations of any size, including very small ones. Effects of demographic changes on population viability may vary with the spatial arrangement of groups. Populations as small as 25 potential breeding groups can be surprisingly resistant to random demographic events, if those groups are highly aggregated in space. Populations as large as 100 potential breeding groups can be impacted by demographic changes, if groups are not aggregated and dispersal of helpers is disrupted. Demographic changes are not expected to affect populations larger than 100 potential breeding groups. Similarly, effects of environmental changes may vary with the spatial arrangement of groups. Based on preliminary results of models and estimates of potential environmental changes derived from the North Carolina Sandhills, 250 potential breeding groups will likely withstand effects of any environmental changes regardless of their spatial arrangement. Loss of genetic variation through the process of genetic drift is an inevitable consequence of finite population size. New genetic variation arises through the process of mutation. In large populations, mutation can offset loss through drift and genetic variation is maintained. Just how large a population must be to maintain variation is a difficult question. Currently, researchers recognize that in general, only populations with actual sizes in the thousands, rather than hundreds, can maintain long-term viability and evolutionary potential in the absence of immigration. However, if populations are connected by immigration rates on the order of 1 to 10 migrants per generation (0.5 to 2.5 migrants per year), the genetic variation maintained by these populations is equal to that of one population as large as the sum of the connected populations. Thus, sufficient connectivity among populations can maintain genetic variation and long-term viability for the species. DISTRIBUTION AND HABITATS OF THE RED-COCKADED WOODPECKER IN FLORIDA: The Red-cockaded Woodpecker is found in suitable habitat throughout Florida south to the Big Cypress National Preserve and adjacent lands. The key words are "suitable habitat." Once widespread and perhaps even common, the Red-cockaded Woodpecker has declined in numbers throughout the state and now occurs only , iIS1.Yt::,al ".:ur~-::-nl dr' J .t ::S!~Jr(dl 7 North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Dec. 10,2003 in isolated populations. With isolation, each population becomes increasingly vulnerable to extinction. Today, most of Florida's Red-cockaded Woodpeckers are found on large tracts of federal and state land and on private lands adjacent to such areas. The largest remaining population anywhere is on the Apalachicola National Forest. Examples of other populations include ones on Eglin Air Force Base, Avon Park Bombing Range, Big Cypress National Preserve, and several state managed forests and wildlife management areas, such as Cecil Webb-Babcock Wildlife Management Area in Charlotte County. The Red-cockaded woodpecker is found in these areas because each family group requires about 200 to 300 acres of pine associated forests that include large areas of mature open pine habitats, and even short-term population stability requires a minimum of about 6 groups in an area. Thus large tracts of pine forest are essential. Populations on public lands are often intensively managed for the birds, but those on private lands are important as well, providing vital links between larger populations. This is especially true for private lands within Collier County, where links become essential for maintaining connectivity to the few viable groups outside of the core populations located within publicly owned lands. SOUTH FLORIDA SLASH PINE COMMUNITIES: Native slash pine communities support red- ~.".. \~~ cockaded .woodpeckers in ., ~-; '-. ~t. south FlOrida (Beever and 'f 1,'.. . Dryden 1992). This '> subspecies of slash pine (Pinus elliotti var. densa) is the only native pine in the NBM and is similar to long leaf in both appearance and fire resistance. Similar to longleaf pine, native slash pine has a grass stage and large taproot. Much of the native slash pine used by red-cockaded woodpeckers is in hydric communities (Beever and Dryden 1992). The most obvious similarity of these two communities is their open midstory and herbaceous groundcover. It may be that slash pine replaces longleaf pine in this region because it can better tolerate the very wet conditions of our nearly flat, low elevation topography. For red-cockaded woodpeckers, native slash pine habitats differ from those further north in that the southern pines are generally smaller and may be more sparsely distributed (Patterson and Robertson 1981, Beever and Dryden 1992, 8 North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Dec. ] 0, 2003 Landers and Boyer 1999). It has been reported that the largest size that south Florida slash pines achieve, even in old growth woodlands, is typically 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in). Cavity trees in this habitat type are much smaller than normally found in other habitats (Beever and Dryden 1992, Bowman and Huh 1995). However, the presence of fire and old trees in both nesting and foraging areas are critically important here as elsewhere. The photograph shows how sapling pines and melaleuca growth can eventually dominate the open pine savanna or pine-palmetto habitats, thus making them undesirable for cavity tree habitat. Woodpeckers in native slash pine have not been well-studied. Preliminary research has indicated that home ranges of birds in native slash pine are larger than those in other habitats (Patterson and Robertson 1981, Beever and Dryden 1992), but the relationship between habitat requirements and habitat quality has not been investigated in this forest type. Thus, it is not known whether larger home ranges in south Florida result from degraded habitat, natural differences in habitat quality, population density, or even lack of cavity trees. Although further research is necessary to determine the cause of large home ranges in south Florida, results from studies elsewhere suggest that as habitat quality increases, the size of these home ranges will decrease. It is likely that, as pine density, age, and herbaceous groundcovers of south Florida slash pine woodlands increase, resident woodpeckers will still require more foraging habitat than woodpeckers in most other regions but less than they appear to be using at the present time.

The dark shaded - areas depict the locations that have or are most likely to have RCW habitat, which appears to be nearly 50% of the NBM area. However, wildfires have destroyed some of the forested areas. 9 North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Dec. 10, 2003 NORTH BELLE MEADE RCW HABITAT RECOVERY GOAL: The ultimate recovery goal is species viability. This goal is mandated by the Amended Collier County Growth Management Plan Future Land Use Element (Ordinance No. 2002-32 on June 19, 2002), and defined in the Future Land Use Desianation Description Section, SubSection IX. Overlavs and Special Features, B. North Belle Meade Overlav, Plannina Considerations, part 4. Red Cockaded Woodpeckers (RCW): "RCW nesting and foraging habitat shall be mapped and protected from land use activities within Sending Lands and Section 24 designated Neutral Lands. Although RCW nesting and foraging habitat shall be mapped within Sending areas within the NBM Overlay, this shall be accomplished by a study specific to Section 24 conducted by Collier County within one year of the effective date of the NBM Overlay. Within Section 24, the Neutral designation may be adjusted based upon the findings of the updated RCW nesting and foraging habitat study." The North Belle Meade (NBM) area is surrounded by Golden Gate Estates to the north, east, and west and 1-75 to the south. This area, designated as the North Belle Meade Overlay, comprises +24 sections of land, or ::I: 15,960 acres, depending on the size of individual sections. The NBM Overlay area is unique to the Rural Fringe area because it is surrounded by areas that are vested for North Belle Meade Overlay(N SMO) District Legend c::l NMBO {l.:':u.,dary TOR Status ReceIvIng Neutral _ NRPA Sending ~~:.-;~', Rurallndustnal Sending ',l.

Because this area is largely undeveloped and includes substantial forested areas, the Sending Lands can and do provide valuable habitat for wildlife, including endangered species. Within the NBM 10 North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Dec. 10, 2003 Overlay area are also areas that have been previously impacted by canal construction and past clearing and agricultural practices which have altered the natural hydroperiod. The challenge for the NBM Overlay area is to achieve a balance of both preservation and opportunities for future development that takes into account resource protection and the relationship between this area and the Estates developing around the NBM Overlay area. Accordingly a more detailed and specific plan for the NBM Overlay has been approved. Within the NBM Overlay are four distinct areas that require separate treatment based on existing conditions within this area. These areas include the Natural Resource Protection Area 1 (NRPA), the Receiving and the Sending Areas for the transfer of development rights, and a Neutral area, which is neither a Sending nor a Receiving Area comprising a section and a portion thereof of land or :l: 1317 acres as depicted on Exhibit "A". It was the intent to perform the physical planning of the NBM Sending Lands within twelve (12) months after the effective date for Red Cockaded Woodpeckers, Greenways and Wildlife Crossings. This report provides baseline information for future RCW planning and protection strategies, and for establishing appropriate greenways and wildlife corridors. Red-cockaded woodpecker recovery plans require good land utilization and management practices which includes; 1) the location and preservation of viable pine forested habitats, 2) restoration of degraded pine forests, and 3) maintaining or creating pine forested wildlife corridors which link or have the opportunity to link potential breeding groups. A potential breeding group is an adult female and adult male that occupy the same cluster, with or without one or more helpers, whether or not they attempt to nest or successfully fledge young. A traditional measure of population size has been the number of active clusters. Once a plan has been implemented, the size, number, and distribution of populations can be more sufficiently provided for in an effort to counteract threats of demographic, environmental, genetic, and catastrophic stochastic events, thereby maintaining long-term viability for the species as defined by current understanding of these processes. Regions and habitat types currently occupied by the species will be represented by the best available data provided, given study and habitat limitations, and existing resources. 1 The NBM NRPA includes seven sections of lands and three partial sections or a total of :I: 6,075 acres and is located in the eastern portion of the NBM Overlay. This area comprises about thirty-nine percent of the NBM Overlay. The NBM NRPA area has concentrations of wetland land cover and listed species habitat, consistent with other Rural Fringe NRPA's (see Exhibit UAU). This consideration combined with the fragmented ownership pattern and the state's desire to purchase significant portions of this area warrants a different level of protection than in other NRPA areas, particularly for incentives for the consolidation of lots to assist in the future preservation of lands. II North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Dec. 10,2003 NORTH BELLE MEADE RCW HABITAT ASSESSMENT CRITERIA: The assessment criteria have been formulated using two general habitat units which have been delineated according to vegetative composition, and digitized onto a 2001 color aerial photograph scaled at approximately 1" = 400'. Populations of RCW may have been distributed among these recovery units, but were not surveyed. However, data has been provided which indicate that populations exist within, or near, the majority of the recovery units, and therefore may exist to the extent allowed by habitat limitations of the recovery units. The first habitat unit consists of vegetative associations which provides potential RCW foraging habitat, and the second habitat unit is more specific, in that it provides appropriate RCW habitat dynamics necessary for cavity trees and nesting habitat. This not only includes mature trees, but also associated open pine woodlands, savannas, or potential open pine woodlands that can be created through habitat restoration efforts. The two habitat units were categorized by using seven habitat variables which were evaluated by aerial interpretation, and then selected areas were field verified for accuracy. The field verified areas were then cross referenced with similar habitat registers observed on the aerials, and then categorized by their habitat viability as it relates to the population requirements discussed in previous sections. The variables were; 1) the percent of slash pine canopy, 2) density of canopy, 3) subcanopy composition and density, 4) density of melaleuca or Brazilian pepper in association with other canopy or subcanopy species, 5) connectivity to other viable RCW habitats, 6) proximity to open, mature pine woodlands, and 7) potential for restoration Below is a summary rationale of each of the variables: 1. Percent of pine canopy as it relates to other canopy tree species such as cypress, laurel oak, cabbage palm, etc. It did not include melaleuca because habitats altered by the increased oaks or cabbage palms within the canopy or subcanopy are treated different by the County's indigenous species protection requirements than those impacted by melaleuca, and may provide a greater opportunity for habitat restoration success than the exotic impacted areas. 2. Subcanopy composition: The subcanopy vegetation is a determining factor in assessing the viability of the habitat for nesting, or the potential for it being restored. Typical subcanopy impacts are associated with an increased density of young trees, Brazilian pepper or cabbage palm. 3. Density of canopy: Canopy density was considered in determining potential for nesting or foraging habitats. Areas of open canopy (<50% canopy) provide a greater opportunity for cavity trees, while more dense canopies still provide for foraging habitat. Large areas with 12 North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Dec. 10, 2003 mosaic pattern of mixed densities were considered more viable habitats than large areas of uniform densities, and were therefore included as nesting habitat areas, instead of separating the area into two density groups. 4. Density of melaleuca: Melaleuca has been one of the most threatening evasive exotic plants which rapidly can destroy the habitat viability of a large area within a decade. Either the habitat becomes too dense to provide open areas for cavity trees, or, in a smaller scale, can impact a single cavity tree by competing for canopy space with a single slash pine containing a RCW cavity. For the purpose of habitat assessment, areas of extensive melaleuca invasion were not considered as viable, or potentially viable, habitats. 5. Density of other canopy species: Other canopy species typically referred to cypress, cabbage palm, or laurel oak. However, other species existed, but were not considered a significant factor in the habitat evaluation. There were two common habitat types within North Belle Meade which resulted from regional ecological alterations of the area. Pine and cypress associations and pine and cabbage palm associations. The pines invaded cypress prairies and cabbage palms invaded pine prairies as the hydrologic regime was altered. The pine and cypress forested areas still provided significant foraging value regardless of their canopy density or mix, as long as there was at least a 25-30% pine canopy (personal observations). However, pine prairies which became densely populated with cabbage palms did not provide the typical open groundcover, and therefore were only marginally valuable in their existing condition, but provided a high probability of habitat restoration through appropriate forest management practices. 6. Proximity to open pine areas with mature pines: All forested pine associated habitat, with the exception of dense melaleuca areas, that were adjacent to areas of open pine with saw palmetto and/or herbaceous ground cover habitat clusters of approximately three acres or larger, were considered cavity tree or nesting habitat, since they provided the potential for nesting, as well as foraging habitat. 7. Potential for restoration: As previously mentioned, pine associated habitats, whether pine and melaleuca, pine and cabbage palm, or dominantly dense pine forests have the potential, through appropriate forest management practices, to be restored for RCW habitat. Therefore, areas meeting these criteria were also included as RCW habitats if sufficient pine density existed. SURVEY RESULTS: The field maps were digitized using the background aerial photographs. In most areas there was sufficient detail to be comfortable with the accuracy of the data transfer. To insure adequate accuracy in the process a comparison was made using a digitizing tablet and the section corners on the maps to register the map to the digital data. Area in acres was used to compare 13 North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Dec. 10, 2003 the size of the digitized sections with GIS Section data. None of the Sections that were digitized varied by more than 0.5% from the GIS data. There is more variability in the 2 digitized habitat data sets. The RCW habitat polygons varied considerably more and the test set had a standard deviation of 8.8%. The mean of the test set of polygons was 99.4%. With this level of agreement no adjustment of the aerial digitized polygons were made. There are 3,547 acres of RCW Foraging Habitat and 3,210 acres of RCW Cavity Habitat identified in the North Belle Meade. The total 6,757 acres of RCW habitat is concentrated in the western portion of North Belle Meade. There are no RCW habitat areas identified in the eastern most sections of North Belle Meade. NORTH BELLE MEADE RCW HABITAT SURVEY Legend RCWH_ RCW~ _ ca...,. RCWC.....TlMf r.... .",w RC. 01 c::J~F.... .. USFWRCWQ3 o~ ' j ~ MI.. The North Belle Meade study area consisted of approximately 15,960 acres of mixed use and forested areas within North Belle Meade, specifically within Sections 24,25, and 36 of Township 49 South, Range 26 East, and Sections 13- 15, and 19-36 of Township 49 South, Range 27 East. The study area was geographically divided into three sub areas, or "recovery units", that were separated by natural or man made features such as cypress forests, open pasture land, or development features. Recovery Unit "A" is located on the western portion of the study area, and included Sections 24, 25, and 36 of Township 49 South, Range 26 East, and the western portions of Sections 30 and 14 North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Dec. 10,2003 31 in Township 49 South, Range 27 East. Recovery Unit "B" is located centrally, and includes Sections 20, 29, and 32, and the eastern portions of Sections 30 and 31, and the western portion of Section 33, in Township 49 South, Range 27 East. Recovery Unit "C" includes Sections 14-15, 22-23, 26-27, 34-35 and the eastern portion of Section 33, in Township 49 South, Range 27 East. Sections excluded from the Recovery Units were Sections 13, 16, 21, 24, 25, 28, and 36 of Township 49 South, Range 27 East, because either these areas were exempt from the study because they were receiving lands (ie: Section 21 and 28, T49S, R27E), or they did not have significant foraging or nesting habitats that would be considered significantly large enough to be viable RCW habitat.

CvTrrer Cvu"ty Within each of the three Recovery Units there are large areas designated as potential, or active, RCW nesting or cavity tree habitat areas, which are connected by areas that are too densely vegetated for viable nest tree habitat, but suitable for foraging. Recovery Units "A" and "B" are also connected via potential foraging areas, but these links appear to be dominated more by cypress than by pine habitats. Recovery Units "B" and "C" have only a marginal connection through a cypress dominated slough located within Section 33, T49S, R27E. It is also important to note that only Recovery Units "A" and "B" had documented RCW activity, specifically within Sections 24, 25, and 36, T49S, R26E, of Recovery Unit "A", and within Sections 29, 32 and 33, T49S, R27E, of 15 North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Dec. 10, 2003 sub-area "B". No RCWs were observed by the study team during the survey, but, as previously stated, it was not within the scope of the survey to specifically look for cavity trees, and data was already available which documented RCW sightings within these areas. Although no RCWs have been recorded within Recovery Unit "C", a large portion of Section 14, and scattered smaller areas of Sections 15, 22, 23, 26, 27, and 34 have suitable nesting habitat in conjunction with foraging habitat. In addition, there are potential restoration possibilities, with appropriate forest management, to restore or recreate sufficient nesting areas for maintaining a viable population of RCWs. IMPLICATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT: Supplying good quality foraging habitat is a critical aspect of red-cockaded woodpecker recovery, especially over the long term, as immediate threats from cavity and cluster limitation are reduced. Our understanding of what constitutes good quality foraging habitat comes from a synthesis of research into selection of foraging habitat and effects of habitat characteristics on group fitness. Both habitat selection and group fitness are influenced by the structure of the foraging habitat. Important structural characteristics include (1) healthy I groundcovers of bunchgrasses and forbs, (2) minimal hardwood midstory, (3) minimal pine midstory, (4) minimal or absent hardwood overstory, (5) a low to intermediate density of small and medium sized pines, and (6) a substantial presence of mature and old pines. Thus, the quality of foraging habitat is defined by habitat structure. Although geographic variation in habitat types exist, these structural characteristics of good quality habitat remain true for all geographic regions and habitat types. Previous management guidelines stressed quantity of foraging habitat, as defined by number of medium and large trees. However, we need to expand this emphasis to include habitat quality, as defined by habitat structure, and use area metrics to address quantity. Red-cockaded woodpeckers require foraging habitat that is suitable in both quantity and quality. Quantifying habitat structure (and thus habitat quality) is more complex than simply requiring a given amount of habitat or number of trees, because habitat structure is measured by multiple variables. Guidelines for foraging habitat are 16 North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Dec. 10, 2003 based on the quantification of structural characteristics to the best of current abilities. Frequent fire can facilitate the restoration and maintenance of all but one of these structural characteristics (mature and old pines), and may provide further benefits by increasing the availability of nutrients. In addition, appropriate forest management techniques can protect, throughout the landscape, the mature and old trees on which red-cockaded woodpeckers thrive. Attached with this report are the management guidelines from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, adopted August 8, 2003. These guidelines provide management actions necessary to protect and maintain existing RCW clusters, increase the number of breeding groups, and restore or create habitat in unoccupied areas. All these elements will be necessary for the recovery of RCW within NBM and the remaining forested areas of Collier County. References: Baker, w. W. 1983.

Supplemental Data and Information Conservation and Coastal Management Element and Future Land Use Element Recommendations to Re-designate Section 24 of the North Belle Meade Overlay from Neutral to Sending Within the NBM Overlay (NBMO) there are four distinct areas, as depicted on the Future Land Use Map and Map series. These areas include the Natural Resource Protection Area (NRPA), the Receiving and the Sending Areas for the transfer of development rights, and two Neutral areas, one consisting of an area in the northeast portion of the NBMO and Section 24 located in the northwest portion of the NMBO. (See Figure I.) Figure I. NORTH BELLE MEADE RCW HABITAT SURVEY Ltlltnd flt"'"..... 11\.'/11\._. .. C:I"'~ ~C.-f'::"", '1_ fU'I;:h. ....~..(I/.(i c::Jtl..~fn;;.. ,. ;Ji;f~~ ~~~;i ~.) (j'~ The NBMO of the Future Land Use Element states that Red Cockaded Woodpecker (RCW) nesting and foraging habitat be mapped and protected from land use activities within Sending Lands, and Section 24 designated Neutral Lands. Although RCW nesting and foraging habitat shall be mapped within all Sending areas within the NBM Overlay, this shall be accomplished by a study specific to Section 24 conducted by Collier County within one year of the effective date of the NBM Overlay. Within Section 24, the Neutral designation may be adjusted based upon the findings of the updated RCW nesting and foraging habitat study. Staff engaged the services of Geza Wass de Czege, President of Southern Biomes, Inc. who has had a variety of experience working for various property owners both in Section 24 and other areas of the North Belle Meade Area. The results of his work was compiled in a report North Belle Meade Overlay Habitat Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis). The data in this report improved on the data previously used by staff in the recommendations of the NBMO for the Final Order amendments that the BCC adopted in June 2002. This improved data set has been used by staff to assist in the development of a RCW strategy for the NBMO and for analysis of Section 24 RCW habitat as compared to RCW habitat in other NBMO Sending Land Designations. A summary of the report is as follows: I. The methodology for determining RCW habitat was much more extensive than that followed to support the June 2002 Final Order amendments. The consultant utilized his professional knowledge of the area from past consulting contracts, 200 I color aerial photographs (tin = 400ft), and selective field verification to identify important RCW habitats. 2. Two types of habitat were characterized (foraging and cavity/nesting) and were identified on the aerials that staff utilized for a subsequent GIS analysis. The consultant utilized 7 separate habitat variables to identify and characterize the habitats. The variables were evaluated by aerial interpretation and selected areas were field verified for accuracy. 3. The consultant separated the NBMO into 3 separate sub areas or "recovery units" that were separated by natural or man-made features such as cypress forests, open pasture land, or development features. Section 24 was part of Recovery Unit "A". It was noted that Recovery Units "A" and "B" had past documented RCW activity. RCW activity has also been documented in Section 24 but no RCWs were observed during the generation of this report. 4. The consultant identified both foraging and cavity/nesting RCW habitats in Section 24 consistent with RCW habitats in other Sending lands within the western portion of the NBMO. Staff used the consultant's updated mapping effort to quantify the RCW habitats for each of the RFMUD Land Use Designations (Figure 2.). The GIS analysis indicates that RCW habitat makes up 65% of Section 24. All other NBMO Sending areas are comprised of 62% RCW habitat. O~r Neutral lands are comprised of 27% RCW habitat. Receiving Lands, where development is encouraged, are comprised of only 15% RCW habitat. More recent field inspections have documented RCW activity in Section 24. The County has just acquired the School Board property (65+/- acres) within Section 24. During a March 24, 2006 site visit to this property, County staff observed one (1) RCWand heard others. During the review of the EAR-based amendments the CCPC had reviewed the Report, received information from staff concerning the March 24th sighting, and heard from members of the public. The CCPC has recommended that Section 24 be designated as Sending lands and staff agrees with the CCPC recommendation. Figure 2.
