STATEMENT OF INTENT TO FIND A PORTION OF
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
NOT IN COMPLIANCE
The Florida Department of Community Affairst pursuant to Section 163 .3184( 10),
Florida Statutes, and Rull~ 9J-ll.012(6)t Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), hereby issues this
Statement of Intent to find a portion of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment 09-CIEl
("Amendments") adopted by Collier County in Ordinance No. 09-07 on February 24, 2009, Not
In Compliance, The Department finds that a portion of the Amendments are not "in
compliance," as that term is defined in Section 163.3184(1 )(b), Florida Statutes (F.S.), for the
following reasons:
J. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT AMENDMENT OBJECTIVE 2 AND
POLICY 5.4
A. Inconsistent provisions. The inconsistent provisions of the Amendments under this
subject heading are as follows:
Collier County had previously amended the Collier County Growth Management Plan
("Comprehensive Plan") in October 2008 (Ordinance Number 08-55; Department Number 08-
PEFE I) to address public school facility planning and school concurrency. Collier County
executed the "lnterlocal Agreement For Public School Facility Planning And School
Concurrency" ("School Interlocal Agreement") in October 2008 with the District School Board
I
, - , - ..................-
17A
of Collier County ("School District") to address the requirements of Section 163.31777, F.S. In
part, the amended Comprc:hensive Plan adopted by Ordinance Number 08-55 established the
Public School Facilities Element, level of service standards for public school facilities, and
established plan policies for off-site infrastructure improvements to support school facilities.
Pursuant to Section 163.3177(12)(c), F.S., the public school facilities element shall be based
upon data and analysis, which must include the interlocal agreement adopted pursuant to Section
163.31777, F .S. The School InterJocal Agreement is data and analysis intended to support the
Comprehensive Plan, including the Public School Facilities Element, Capital Improvements
Element, and Intergovernmental Coordination Element.
The amendment (Ordinance No. 09-07) to Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.4
provides that "requisite o'ff-site improvements" are included as part of the necessary capital
facilities and services that are to be considered when determining concurrency regarding the
public school facilities level of service standards. Thus, the amended Policy 5.4 makes
"requisite off-site improvements" a part of the school level of service standards. The school
level of service standards established in Capital Improvements Element Policy 1.5, Public School
Facilities Element Policy 1.1, and the School Interlocal Agreement (Sections 13.2 and 14) are
based upon permanent Florida Inventory of School House (FISH) capacity as follows: 95% of
permanent FISH capacity for elementary school concurrency service areas; 95% of permanent
FISH capacity for middle' school concurrency service areas; and 100% of permanent FISH
capacity for high school (;oncurrency service areas. Intergovernmental Coordination Element
Policy 2.6 requires Collic:::r County to coordinate with the Collier County School District for
collaborative planning and decision making on the location and extension of public facilities
subject to concurrency and to support existing and proposed public educational facilities in
2
. 'IIIJ""" .<'-~""''''''''',-"-
17A. f'
accordance with the School Interlocal Agreement. The school level of service standards
established in Capital Improvements Element Policy 1.5, Public School Facilities Element Policy
1.1, and the School Interlocal Agreement do not include '"requisite off-site improvements."
Therefore, the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.4 is internally inconsistent
with Capital Improvements Element Policy 1.5, Public School Facilities Element Policy 1.1, and
Intergovernmental Coord:ination Element Policy 2.6 regarding the school level of service
standards. In addition, the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.4 does not
establish meaningful and predictable guidelines and standards defining "requisite off-site
improvements" in order to guide the concurrency detennination regarding the level of service
standards.
Because the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.4 is inconsistent with
the Interlocal School Agreement (Sections 13.2 and 14), Capital Improvements Element Policy
1.5, Public School Facilities Element Policy 1.1, and Intergovernmental Coordination Element
Policy 2.6, the several ekments (Capital Improvements Element, Public School Facilities
Element, and Intergovernmental Coordination Element) of the Comprehensive Plan are not
consistent and coordinated, and therefore the amendment to Policy 5.4 is inconsistent with the
requirements of Section 163.3177(2), F.S., and Rule 9J-5.005(5), F.A.C.
The amendment to Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.4 is not supported by best
available relevant and appropriate data and analysis because the amended Policy 5.4 is
inconsistent with the School Interlocal Agreement (Sections 13.2 and 14) regarding school level
of services standards. The amendment to Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.4 is not
supported by relevant and appropriate data and analysis identifying whether any requisite oft-site
improvements are needed to achieve and maintain the amended level of service standard of
3
-, . -_.-..,..~."','"-- . Ill~ U .
17 7' A. I
Policy 5.4 and demonstrating that the requisite off-site improvements are included in a
financially feasible Schedule of Capital Improvements in the Capital Improvements Element.
The amendment to Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.4 makes the school level of
service standards in Policy 5.4 inconsistent with statutory requirements (Sections 163 .3177( 12)
and 163.3180(13), F.S.) to have uniform district-wide (school district-wide) level of service
standards for school concurrency because the local government comprehensive plans other local
governments in Collier County do not include plan policy provisions consistent with the
amendment language of Policy 5.4.
Therefore, the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.4 is not consistent
with the following requir,ements: Rules 9J-5.005(2), (3), (5) and (6); 9J-5.015(3)(b)l; 9J-
5.01 5(3)(c) I., and II.; 91-5.016(1), (2), (3) and (4); 9J-5.025(2)(t); 9J-5.025(3)(b)1., 2., 3., and
5.; 9J-5.025(3)(c)2., 5., and 7., F.A.C.; and Sections 163.3177(2), (3), (8), and (10)(e);
163.3177(4)(a); 163.3177(6)(h); 163.3177(12); 163.3177(12)(c) and (g); 163.3180(13);
163.3180(13)(a), (b), (d), and (g); and 163.31777, F.S.
The amendment (Ordinance Number 09-07) to Capital Improvements Element Objective
2 states that "Any and all off-site improvements associated with new schools and school
expansions shall be the sole responsibility of the Collier County School Board unless Collier
County and the Collier County School Board agree to an alternative funding mechanism." The
off-site improvements pertain to infrastructure to support new schools and school expansions.
School Interlocal Agreement (Section 7) addresses off-site improvements by requiring the off-
site improvements be addressed (at the time of the preliminary consistency determination that is
done when school sites are identified or schools are expanded or constructed and reviewed for
consistency with the Comprehensive Plan) for each new or expanded school through an
4
_"'_.. _ili.PI'Cf. ...
.
17A
agreement between the School District and local government as to the scope, timing, and party
(or parties) responsible for funding, constructing, operating and maintaining the off-site
improvement. The Public School Facilities Element Policy 3.2 implements the School Interlocal
Agreement by requiring the County and School District to enter into an agreement for off-site
improvements (address the scope, timing, funding, constructing, operating, and maintaining)
prior to commencement of construction of a new school. The School Interlocal Agreement and
Public School Facilities Element Policy 3.2 do not establish or determine which party (or parties)
is responsible for funding the off-site improvements, but the School Interlocal Agreement and
Public School Facilities Element Policy 3.2 establish a process (through the agreement for off-
site improvements) to address the issue of which party (or parties) is responsible for off-site
improvements. The Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy 2.6
requires Collier County to coordinate with the Collier County School District for collaborative
planning and decision making on the location and extension of public facilities subject to
concurrency and to support existing and proposed public educational facilities in accordance
with the School Interlocal Agreement.
The amendment to Capital Improvements Element Objective 2 is inconsistent with the
School Interlocal Agreement (Section 7), Public School Facilities Element Policy 3.2, and
Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy 2.6 because: (1) the amendment to Capital
Improvements Element Objective 2 makes the School District solely responsible for off-site
improvements to support new schools and school expansions unless both parties (Collier County
and the School District) agree to an alternative funding mechanism, and the School Interlocal
Agreement (Section 7), Public School Facilities Element Policy 3.2, and Intergovernmental
Coordination Element Policy 2.6 do not establish that the School District is solely responsible for
5
.~~~,- " - r.1Jr ". Tr"<V "'_11'-
l?A
such off-site improvements; and (2) the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Objective
2 makes the School District solely responsible for otT-site improvements to support new schools
and school expansions while not requiring that the responsibility for off-site improvements be
mutually agreed to through the "off-site improvements" agreement process established in the
Schoollnterlocal Agreement (Section 7), Public School Facilities Element Policy 3.2, and
Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy 2.6. Because the amendment to Capital
Improvements Element Objective 2 is inconsistent with Public School Facilities Element Policy
3.2 and Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy 2.6, the Comprehensive Plan as
amended does not establish meaningful and predictable guidelines for off-site improvements for
schools.
The amendment t,;) Capital Improvements Element Objective 2 is not supported by the
best available relevant and appropriate data and analysis of the School Interlocal Agreement
because the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Objective 2 is inconsistent with the
School Interlocal Agreement. The amendment to Capital Improvements Element Objective 2 is
not supported by best available relevant and appropriate data and analysis demonstrating that the
School District has agreed to be solely responsible for any and all off-site improvements
associated with new schools and school expansions. In addition, based on comments from the
School District, the School District has not agreed to be solely responsible for any and all off-site
improvements associated with new schools and school expansions.
Because the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Objective 2 is inconsistent
with the Interlocal School Agreement (Section 7), Public School Facilities Element Policy 3.2,
and Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy 2.6, the several elements (Capital
Improvements Element, Public School Facilities Element. and Intergovernmental Coordination
6
""- , . ~ it., T
17A
Element) of the Comprehensive Plan are not consistent and coordinated, and therefore the
amendment to Objective 2 is inconsistent with the requirements of Section 163.3177(2), F.S.,
and Rule 9J-5.005(5), F.A.C.
The amendment to Capital Improvements Element Objective 2 is not consistent with the
requirements of Sections 163.3177(12) and 163.3180(13), F.S., which require consistent,
uniform procedures for implementation of school concurrency district wide throughout a school
district because the local government comprehensive plans of other local governments within
Collier County do not indude plan objective/policy provisions consistent with the amendment
language of Objective 2.
Therefore, the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Objective 2 is not consistent
with the following requirements: Rules 9J-5.005(2), (5) and (6); 9J-5.015(3)(b)l; 9J-

Subject Settlement of 09-CIE1 AmendmentC]
Steve,
DCA is in the process of obtaining approval of the County's recent settlement proposal to resolve the not
in compliance Objective 2 and Policy 5.4 of the CIE. Since I will be out of the office the next two weeks,
I've prepared a compliance agreement for DCA to sign as soon as we approve.
My assistant Connie will send you three originals of the settlement agreement signed by DCA. Because
DCA has signed first, the County may, if it chooses, hold a public hearing to approve the settlement (sign
the settlement agreement) and then hold another public hearing immediatly following to adopt the
remedial amendment. The remedial amendment adopted pursuant to a settlement agreement is exempt
from the 2-per-year amendment limit. That will move the process along for you.
Connie's phone number is 850-922-1698. She will need your address to send out the settlement
agreements. Could be next week or the following. I don't want to hold them up by being out of the office
when they are ready to send to the County. You can also be in touch with Scott Rogers or Brenda
Winningham about the progress of approval here at DCA.
Please return 2 executed original settlement agreements to me at the address below. The remedial
amendment goes to Ray Eubanks pursuant to 9J-11.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
09-1 CIE; AMENDING THE CAPITAL ocketNo.09-CIEI-NOI-llOl
IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
STATEMENT OF INTENT TO FIND A PORTION OF
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
NOT IN COMPLIANCE
The Florida Department of Community Affairs, pursuant to Section 163 .3184( 1 0),
Florida Statutes, and Rull;: 9J -11.0 12( 6), Florida Administrative Code (F .A.C.), hereby issues this
Statement of Intent to find a portion of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment 09-CIEl
("Amendments") adopted by Collier County in Ordinance No. 09-07 on February 24, 2009, Not
In Compliance. The Department finds that a portion of the Amendments are not "in
compliance," as that ternl is defined in Section 163.3184(1)(b), Florida Statutes (F.S.), for the
following reasons:
I. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT AMENDMENT OBJECTIVE 2 AND
POLICY 5.4
A. Inconsistent provi.sions. The inconsistent provisions of the Amendments under this
subject heading are as follows:
Collier County had previously amended the Collier County Growth Management Plan
("Comprehensive Plan") in October 2008 (Ordinance Number 08-55; Department Number 08-
PEFE I ) to address public school facility planning and school concurrency. Collier County
executed the "Interlocal Agreement For Public School Facility Planning And School
Concurrency" ("School Interlocal Agreement") in October 2008 with the District School Board
I
"",-- r .. -,... ,~-,.~." ,.... . -,..".~ . ~~,~-- . 'I n_ - . --
17A t1
of Collier County ("Schoo) ~istrict'') to address the requirements of Section 163.31777, F.S. In
part, the amended Comprl~hensive Plan adopted by Ordinance Number 08-55 established the
Public School Facilities Element, level of service standards for public schoo) facilities, and
established plan policies tor off-site infrastructure improvements to support school facilities.
Pursuant to Section 163.3 I 77(12)(c), F.S., the public school facilities element shall be based
upon data and analysis, which must include the interlocal agreement adopted pursuant to Section
163.31777, F.S. The School Interlocal Agreement is data and analysis intended to support the
Comprehensive Plan, including the Public School Facilities Element, Capital Improvements
Element, and Intergovernmental Coordination Element.
The amendment (Ordinance No. 09-07) to Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.4
provides that "requisite off-site improvements" are included as part of the necessary capital
facilities and services that are to be considered when determining concurrency regarding the
public school facilities level of service standards. Thus, the amended Policy 5.4 makes
"requisite off-site improvements" a part of the school level of service standards. The school
level of service standards established in Capital Improvements Element Policy 1.5, Public School
Facilities Element Policy 1.1, and the School lnterlocal Agreement (Sections 13.2 and 14) are
based upon permanent Florida Inventory of School House (FISH) capacity as follows: 95% of
permanent FISH capacity for elementary school concurrency service areas; 95% of permanent
FISH capacity for middle' school concurrency service areas; and 100% of permanent FISH
capacity for high school (;oncurrency service areas. Intergovernmental Coordination Element
Policy 2.6 requires Collit::r County to coordinate with the Collier County School District for
coJlaborative planning and decision making on the location and extension of public facilities
subject to concurrency and to support existing and proposed public educational facilities in
2

"~'.. I J~
accordance with the School Interlocal Agreement. The school level of service standards
established in Capital Improvements Element Policy 1.5, Public School Facilities Element Policy
1.1, and the School Interlocal Agreement do not include "requisite off-site improvements."
Therefore, the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.4 is internally inconsistent
with Capital Improvements Element Policy 1.5, Public School Facilities Element Policy 1.1, and
Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy 2.6 regarding the school level of service
standards. In addition, the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.4 does not
establish meaningful and predictable guidelines and standards defining "requisite off-site
improvements" in order to guide the concurrency determination regarding the level of service
standards.
Because the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.4 is inconsistent with
the Interlocal School Agreement (Sections 13.2 and 14), Capital Improvements Element Policy
1.5, Public School Facilities Element Policy 1.1, and Intergovernmental Coordination Element
Policy 2.6, the several elt::ments (Capital Improvements Element, Public School Facilities
Element, and Intergovernmental Coordination Element) of the Comprehensive Plan are not
consistent and coordinated, and therefore the amendment to PoHcy 5.4 is inconsistent with the
requirements of Section] 63.3177(2), F.S., and Rule 9J-5.005(5), F.A.C.
The amendment to Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.4 is not supported by best
available relevant and appropriate data and analysis because the amended Policy 5.4 is
inconsistent with the School Interlocal Agreement (Sections 13.2 and 14) regarding school level
of services standards. The amendment to Capital Improvements Element PoHcy 5.4 is not
supported by relevant and appropriate data and analysis identifying whether any requisite ofT-site
improvements are needed to achieve and maintain the amended level of service standard of
3
----, --,~,- --.." -- --.'." . -.."..-'" - "-'__0
17A
Policy 5.4 and demonstrating that the requisite off-site improvements are included in a
financially feasible Schedule of Capital Improvements in the Capital Improvements Element.
The amendment to Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.4 makes the school level of
service standards in Policy 5.4 inconsistent with statutory requirements (Sections 163.3177(12)
and 163.3180(13), F.S.) to have uniform district-wide (school district-wide) level of service
standards for school concurrency because the local government comprehensive plans other local
governments in Collier County do not include plan policy provisions consistent with the
amendment language of Policy 5.4.
Therefore, the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.4 is not consistent
with the following requir1ements: Rules 9J-5.005(2), (3), (5) and (6); 9J-5.015(3)(b)l; 9J-
5.01 5(3)(c) 1., and II.; 9J-5.016(1), (2), (3) and (4); 9J-5.025(2)(t); 9J-5.025(3)(b)l., 2., 3., and
5.; 9J-5.025(3)(c)2., 5., and 7., F.A.C.; and Sections 163.3177(2), (3), (8), and (lO)(e);
163.3177(4)(a); 163.3177(6)(h); 163.3177(12); 163.3177(12)(c) and (g); 163.3180(13);
163.3180(13)(a), (b), (d), and (g); and 163.31777, F.S.
The amendment (Ordinance Number 09-07) to Capital Improvements Element Objective
2 states that "Any and all off-site improvements associated with new schools and school
expansions shall be the sole responsibility of the Collier County School Board unless Collier
County and the Collier County School Board agree to an alternative funding mechanism." The
off-site improvements pertain to infrastructure to support new schools and school expansions.
Schoollnterlocal Agreement (Section 7) addresses off-site improvements by requiring the off-
site improvements be addressed (at the time of the preliminary consistency determination that is
done when school sites are identified or schools are expanded or constructed and reviewed for
consistency with the Comprehensive Plan) for each new or expanded school through an
4
'~M "",,,~"., . --",,~, ri ... "."~._- ~,~" p- w """'"\<it' "<111I'""<1 It , --."". ~_"_.w.._,,,"",... --
.
agreement between the School District and local government as to the scope, timing, and J 7 A
(or parties) responsible for funding, constructing, operating and maintaining the off-site
improvement. The Public School Facilities Element Policy 3.2 implements the School Interlocal
Agreement by requiring the County and School District to enter into an agreement for off-site
improvements (address the scope, timing. funding, constructing. operating, and maintaining)
prior to commencement of construction of a new school. The School Interlocal Agreement and
Public School Facilities Element Policy 3.2 do not establish or detennine which party (or parties)
is responsible for funding the off-site improvements, but the School Interlocal Agreement and
Public School Facilities Element Policy 3.2 establish a process (through the agreement for off-
site improvements) to address the issue of which party (or parties) is responsible for off-site
improvements. The Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy 2.6
requires Collier County to coordinate with the Collier County School District for collaborative
planning and decision making on the location and extension of public facilities subject to
concurrency and to support existing and proposed public educational facilities in accordance
with the School Interloca.1 Agreement.
The amendment to Capital Improvements Element Objective 2 is inconsistent with the
School Interlocal Agreement (Section 7), Public School Facilities Element Policy 3.2, and
Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy 2.6 because: (1) the amendment to Capital
Improvements Element Objective 2 makes the School District solely responsible for off-site
improvements to support new schools and school expansions unless both parties (Collier County
and the School District) ngree to an alternative funding mechanism, and the School lnterlocal
Agreement (Section 7), Public School Facilities Element Policy 3.2. and Intergovernmental
Coordination Element Policy 2.6 do not establish that the School District is solely responsible for
5
-""',--......... ,'_,'M_~'" """""'''''-'.."..., ~Ii ~. "^-""---"'_. UA ~.... . "'''-''''''< -'~'-.,.,,_._,
17A
such off-site improvements; and (2) the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Objective
2 makes the School Distriict solely responsible for off-site improvements to support new schools
and school expansions while not requiring that the responsibility for off-site improvements be
mutually agreed to through the "ofT-site improvements" agreement process established in the
School lnterlocal Agreement (Section 7), Public School Facilities Element Policy 3.2, and
Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy 2.6. Because the amendment to Capital
Improvements Element Objective 2 is inconsistent with Public School Facilities Element Policy
3.2 and Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy 2.6. the Comprehensive Plan as
amended does not establish meaningful and predictable guidelines for off-site improvements for
schools.
The amendment to Capital Improvements Element Objective 2 is not supported by the
best available relevant and appropriate data and analysis of the School Interlocal Agreement
because the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Objective 2 is inconsistent with the
School Interlocal Agreement. The amendment to Capital Improvements Element Objective 2 is
not supported by best available relevant and appropriate data and analysis demonstrating that the
School District has agreed to be solely responsible for any and all off-site improvements
associated with new schools and school expansions. In addition, based on comments from the
School District, the School District has not agreed to be solely responsible for any and all off-site
improvements associated with new schools and school expansions.
Because the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Objective 2 is inconsistent
with the Interlocal School Agreement (Section 7), Public School Facilities Element Policy 3.2,
and Intergovernmental CDordination Element Policy 2.6, the several elements (Capital
Improvements Element, Public School Facilities Element, and Intergovernmental Coordination
6
-."^ e_"'_"_~'_M"_' --- -.."'-,,-~ ..._m"'....'
17A
Element) of the Comprehensive Plan are not consistent and coordinated, and therefore the
amendment to Objective 2 is inconsistent with the requirements of Section 163.3177(2), F.S.,
and Rule 9J-5.005(5), F.A.C.
The amendment to Capital Improvements Element Objective 2 is not consistent with the
requirements of Sections 163.3177(12) and 163.3180(13), F.S., which require consistent,
uniform procedures for implementation of school concurrency district wide throughout a school
district because the local government comprehensive plans of other local governments within
Collier County do not indude plan objective/policy provisions consistent with the amendment
language of Objective 2.
Therefore, the amendment to Capital Improvements Element Objective 2 is not consistent
with the following requirements: Rules 9J-5.005(2), (5) and (6); 9J-5.015(3)(b)1; 9J-
5.015(3)(c)l., and 11.; 9J-5.016(1)(a); 9J-5.016(2)(c) and (d); and 9J-5.016(3)(b)l; 9J-
5.025(2)(t); 9J-5.025(3)(b)1., and 5.; 9J-5.025(3)(c)5., F.A.C.; and Sections 163.3177(2), (3) and
(8); 163.3177(4)(a); 163.3177(6)(h); 163.3177(12); 163.3177(12)(c) and (g); 163.3180(13);
163.3180(13)(a), and (g); and 163.31777, F.S.
B. Recommended RI~medial Actions.
1. Delete the amendments to Objective 2 and Policy 5.4 from the Comprehensive
Plan.
