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 1.1 (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 tH'e is needed in order to achieve and maintain the standards.
Policy 1.1.1: [Renumbered and revised text, page 2]
The County shall establish standards for levels of service for two eategories of public facilities,
as follows:
Categ8F}' fa. p ~ublic 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 A 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.

Public facilities shall include land, structures, the initial furnishings and equipment (iHeluding
ambalanees, fire appamtas, and library eolleetioH 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 1.1.2: [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) - 1.
Where Q is the quantity of public facility needed,
S is the standard for level of service,
D is the demand, such as the population, and
I is the inventory of existing facilities.
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 will shall review all rezone petitions requests,
SRA designation applications, conditional use petitions, and proposed amendments to
the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) affecting the overall countywide County Wide
density or intensity of permissible development" with consideration of their impact on
both the variable "D" in the formula Q = (S x D) - I, and the overall roadway County
transportation system. The Board COWlty Commission shall not approve any such

(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 'Hide population greater than :l% 2% of
the weighted population projections for parks, solid waste, ..vater, se't':er, and
drainage facilities, greater than :l% 2% of peak population estimates and proiections
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 :l% 2% of the adopted LOS
standard service volume of an impacted roadway.
D. There are three circumstances in which the standards for levels of service are not the
exclusive determinant of need for a public facility:
1. Calculated needs for public facilities in coastal high hazard areas are subject to
all limits 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 B and D of this Policy shall be included in the regular Schedule of Capital Improvements
contained in this Capital Improvement Element. All capital improvement projects for such
public facilities shall be approved in the same manner as the projects that are identified according
to the quantitative analysis described in Section A of this policy. The terms, "weighted" and

Policy 1.1.3: [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 1.1.4: [Renumbered and revised text, page 4]
Public facility improvements within a eategory 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.

Provide public facilities, as described in Policy 1.1 above. in order to maintain adopted level of
service standards that are within the ability of the County to fund, or within the County's
authority to require others to provide. Existing facility deficiencies measured against the adopted
level of service standards will be eliminated with revenues generated by ad valorem taxes and
other intergovernmental revenues received based on economic activity. Future development will
bear a proportionate cost of facility improvements necessitated by growth. Future development's
payments may take the form of, but are not limited to, voluntary contributions for the benefit of
any public facility, impact fees, dedications of land, provision of public facilities, and future
payments of user fees, special assessments and taxes.

PROGRAMS TO ENSURE IMPLEMENTATION
[Renumbered and revised text, pages 28-30]
Through continued implementation of adopted land development regulations the following
programs have been implemented to ensure that the goals, objectives and policies established in
the this Capital Improvement Element will be achieved or exceeded.
1. Development Order Review
As part of the review of all applications for final site development plans, final plats, and building
permits, the County will determine whether or not there will be sufficient capacity of Category ^
public facilities, as described in Policy 1.1 above, to meet the standards for levels of service for
the existing population and for the proposed development in accordance with the requirements of
the Concurrency Management System. As part of the review for all development orders other
than final site development plans. final plats, and building permits. for those having negative
impacts on Category ,A.. public facilities other than fiflfil site development plans, fiflfil plats,
building permits, the County will determine whether or not sufficient capacity of Category ",\"
public facilities are planned for construction concurrent with the impacts on levels of service that
will be created by the proposed development during the next five fiscal years.
2. Impact Fees
Impact Fee Ordinances will require the same standard for the level of service as is required by
Policy h 1.5.
3. Annual Budget
The annual budget will include in its capital appropriations all projects in the Schedule of Capital
Improvements that are planned for expenditures during the next fiscal year.
4. Semi:annual Report
The mandatory semi:annual report to the Florida Department of Community Affairs: concerning
amendments to the comprehensive plan due to emergencies, developments of regional impact"
and selected small developments : will report on identify changes, if any, to adopted goals,
objectives and policies in the this Capital Improvement Element.
5. Update of Capital Improvement Element
The monitoring 0:(. and adjustment to" the this Capital Improvement Element is an ongoing
process necessitated bv changing conditions to meet the ehanging eonaitions must be an on~in;
proeess. Beginning ffi no later than August December of each year, the element will be updated
in conjunction with the County's budget process and the release of the official BEBR population
estimates and projections. The update will include:
-l-A. Revision of population projections;
~B. Updates of facility inventory;
J.C. Update of unit costs;

Revise and develop capital improvement projects for the next five years. The first
year's schedule of projects will be incorporated into the County's budget effective
October 1 st; and,
+G. Update of the public school and health facilities analysis.
6. Concurrency Management System
The County has established a Concurrency Management System by adoption of the Adequate
Public Facilities Ordinance, as amended. The system consists of the following components:
A. 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. +he 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 A public
facilities for the purpose of issuing development orders during the 12 months
following the approval of the AUIR. The AUIR will gO into effect immediately
upon aporoval bv the Collier County Board of County Commissioners.
B. Public facility capacity review. The County shall use the procedures specified in
Implementation Programs 1 and 6 to enforce the requirements of Policies -h5.1,
-h5.2 and -h5.3 of this Element.
C. Review of changes in planned capacity of public facilities. The County shall
review each amendment to this Capital Improvement Element in particular any
changes in standards for levels of service and changes in the Schedule of Capital
Improvements in order to enforce the policies of this Element.

D. Concurrency Management Implementation Strategies. The County shall annually
review the Concurrency Management Implementation Strategies that are
incorporated in this Capital Improvement Element:
1. 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. SeeeBd S yeaF II!!!:!! Evaluation and Appraisal Report
The required seeead 5 year third Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) will address the
implementation of the goals, objectives and policies of the this Capital Improvement Element.
The monitoring procedures necessary to enable the completion of the $-year third evaluation
include:
A. Review of annual reports of the Concurrency Management System, as set forth in
paragt'aph Section 6 above;
B. Review of semi:annual reports to DCA concerning amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan, as set forth in pafagt'aph Section 4 above; and
C. Review of annual updates of this Capital Improvement Element, including updated
supporting documents.

EXHIBIT "A"
1. 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., DR!, rezone and provisioaal 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 Management Control Policy (Resolution No. 92-42) and follow-up
Resolution No. 01-2461, and existing road and land use conditions. and are outlined in
Section 4.04.02 m of the Land Development Code. 1\.n aeeess managemeRt plan map
exists for eaeh mixed l:lse aetivity oeRter. The purpose of the aeeess managemeRt plans is
to minimize the a<herse impaets to safety, c8flaeity 8:fld operatiag eoaditioas of the

D. IMPLENT A TION 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 "D" or "E" as measured on a peak hour basis.
Several County and State facilities have been given a minimum LOS "E" standard.
Words underlined are added; words strl:lsk tRFOUgh are deleted.

r
Transportation Element
BCC-approved for Transmittal
5-24-00
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
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 wHt adopted, within
ORe year or sooner, a "real time" "checkbook accounting" concurrency management
process on February 11. 2004.
See the Adequate Public Facilities OrdiflaIlee 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 Ordinanee (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 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 occurred
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 objective of storm water 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 technioues 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

INTRODUCTION
[New Language, page 1]
The Solid Waste Sub-Element establishes a policy framework for Collier County'S
current solid waste management facilities and provides general direction for the further
development of the County's solid waste management system in the future. The purpose
of the Solid Waste Sub-Element is to assure the provision of cost effective and
environmentally safe disposal of solid waste for the present and anticipated future
residents of Collier County. The proper collection. processing. and disposal of solid
waste is important to the health, safety and welfare of all Collier County residents.
Improper disposal of solid and/or hazardous waste can contaminate drinking water or
expose residents to environmental and public health risks.
In addition to the safe and environmentally sound collection. processing and disposal of
residential and commercial solid waste. the Solid Waste Sub-Element also contains
provisions related to: monitoring for potential environmental impact pursuant to State and
Federal rules and regulations and the associated permit conditions: the collection and
disposal of hazardous materials: the County's recycling programs: and. solid waste
recovery programs.

INTRODUCTION [Added text, page 2]
The goal of the Housing Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan is "to create
an adequate supply of decent. safe. sanitary. and affordable housing for all residents of Collier
County." 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 provlSlon 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 payment / 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 sustainability 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.

public and private sites for recreation. including. but not limited to. natural reservations,
_arks and la rounds arkwa s beaches and ublic access to beaches 0 en s aces and
other recreational facilities." However. Chapter 9J-5.0l4. Florida Administrative Code,
which formerly contained the Florida Department of Community Affairs' "Minimum
Standards" for review of local Recreation and Open Space Elements. has been deleted.
Thus. while the Recreation and Open Space Element remains a requirement for local
comprehensive plans in the State of Florida. the format and contents of such an Element
may be tailored to local needs. provided that the intent of the Statute is met. This
Recreation and Open Space Element was recently updated. as recommended by the
Community Character! Smart Growth Advisory Committee. by Ordinance No. 2003-67,
adopted on December 16. 2003. to further implement the Collier County Community
Character Plan and "Smart Growth" principles.
The Recreation and Open Space Element is divided into three sections. each of which is
guided by a specific goal. These three sections are:
. The general provision of parks. recreation facilities and open space areas for the
use and enioyment of Collier County residents and visitors.
. The development of a countywide neighborhood park system.
. The development of a countywide regional and community park system.
Within Collier County government. the responsibility for overseeing the implementation
of the above goals is assigned to the Collier County Parks and Recreation Department.
which is part of the Public Services Division.

INTRODUCTION
[New text, page I}
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 10-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 environment. 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. Ecological planning principles and assumptions to be used in the determination of
suitability and extent of permitted development.
6. Proposed management and regulatory techniques.
7. Limitation of public expenditures that subsidize development In high-hazard
coastal areas.
8. Protection of human life against the effects of natural disasters.
Words underlined are added; words struGk through are deleted.

9. The orderly development. maintenance. and use of ports identified in s.
403.021(9) to facilitate deepwater commercial navigation and other related
activities.
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. Protection of surface and estuarine water resources~
3. Protection of groundwater resources~
4. Protection of freshwater resources~
5. Protection of mineral and soil resources~
6. Protection of native vegetation and wildlife habitat;
7. Protection of fisheries and wildlife~
8. Maintenance of existing air quality~
9. Management of hazardous materials and hazardous wastes~
10. Protection of coastal resources~
11. Protection of historic resources~
12. Hurricane evacuation and sheltering~ and
13 . Avoiding duplication of regulations.

The following standards and criteria shall apply to the native vegetation retention
requirements referenced above:
(1) For the purpose of this policy, "native vegetation" is defined as a vegetative
community having ~25% or less more canopy coverage or highest existing
vegetative strata of melale\:lea or other invasi'..e eKotic native plant species. The
vegetation retention requirements specified in this policy are calculated based on the
amount of "native vegetation" that conforms to this definition.
(2) The preservation of native vegetation shall include canopy, under-story and ground
cover emphasizing the largest contiguous area possible. which may include
connection to offsite preserves. The purpose for identifying the largest contiguous
area is to provide for a core area that has the greatest potential for wildlife habitat by
reducing the interface between the preserve area and development which decreases
the conflicts from other land uses. Criteria for determining the dimensional standards
of the preserve are to be set out in the Land Development Code.
(3) Areas that fulfill the native vegetation retention standards and criteria of this policy
shall be set aside as preserve areas. ~On-site 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 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.

these amendments. the County shall adopt land development regulations to set forth
the process for obtaining a deviation. The regulations shall allow for the granting of
a deviation by the appropriate review board after a public hearing. and for the
granting of a deviation administratively. The County shall consider the amount and
type of native vegetation and the presence of listed species in determining whether
the granting of a deviation requires a public hearing. or may be granted
administratively.
The County may grant a deviation if:

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 (FL UM). 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 portion of
the Celiftty's Rural and l\grieultural .\ssessmeBt (depicted on the FLUM) will be adopted
prior to Noyember 1, 2002 northeastern portion of Collier County. excluding the
community of Immokalee. are contained in the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay
(RLSA Overlay) of the FLUE (and as depicted on the FLUM). Protection measures for
wetlands and wetland systems located Wwithin the Urban and Estates designated areas of
the County, the Col:lftty will r.ely 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
and require mitigation for such impacts, this the permitting agency's mitigation
requirements shall be deemed to preserve and protect wetlands and their functions";".except
for wetlands that are part of a Watershed Management Plan preserve area. The County
shall direct impacts away from such wetlands.
The large connected wetland systems that exist at the landscape scale in Collier County
shall be protected through various Land Use Designations and Overlays that restrict
higher intensity land uses and require specific land development standards for the
remaining allowable land uses. Collier County shall direct incompatible land uses away
from these large landscape scale wetland systems 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.

Best available data indicates that 74% of the County's wetlands are within the Big
Cypress Area of Critical State Concern Overlay. The land development
regulations contained in the ACSC Overlay District. as depicted on the
Countywide Future Land Use Map.. provide standards that facilitate the goal of
directing higher intensity land uses away from wetland systems. The
development standards for the ACSC Overlay (Reference FLUE Land Use
Designation Section V) specifies specify that site alterations shall be limited to
10% of the total site. A large per-eefttage 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
SectifJn V
(3) Natural Resource Protection Areas (NRPAs)
Major wetland systems and regional flow-ways were used as criteria to establish
the NRPA Overlay District as shown on the Future Land Use Map. and as
discussed in FLUE Land Use Designation. Section V.C. These areas ideatify
include high functioning wetland systems in the County and. although portions of
the NRP A Overlay include lands within the Conservation Designation. represent
an additional approximately 12o/~ of the County's wetlands.. that which are not
located in Conservation Lands. Based on the relatively high concentration of
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%. (Referenec the
NRPA Overlay in the FLUE.)
(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 70o/~ of land cover in these areas. Incompatible land uses are
directed away from the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District Sending Lands through
an incentive-based Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Program that allows
land owners within these Sending Lands to transfer their residential density out of
the Sending Lands to Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (and limited Urban)
Receiving Lands. A complete description of the TDR Program is contained in the
FLUE. Future Land Use Designation Description Section. Agricultural/Rural
Designation. Rural Fringe Mixed Use District. Incompatible land uses are also
directed away from Sending Lands by restricting through restrictions on allowable
uses. (Reference FLUE Rblral Fringe .\fixed 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. (Refer-cnee CC}.fE PfJlicy 6.7.1.)

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 Management Plans
Collier County will establish watershed management plans throughout the
County. but with particular emphasis on the Urban and Estates designated areas.
These watershed management plans shall be established in accordance with
Objective 2.1 of this Element and will include the preservation or. where feasible.
creation of landscape-scale wetland conservation areas to act as habitat. natural
water Quality treatment and water quantity retention/detention areas. The County
shall direct incompatible land uses away from such large-scale wetlands.
Collier County shall allow for more intensive development to occur in Rural Fringe
Receiving Lands, North Golden Gate Estates, the Rural-Settlement Area District, and the
Urban Designated Areas subject to the land uses identified in the Future Land Use
Element, the Immokalee Area Master Plan, and the Golden Gate Area Master Plan.
These areas account for only 6% of Collier County's wetlands. Except for tidal wetlands
within the coastal portion of the Urban Designated Area and wetlands that are part of an
established watershed management plan, the County finds that the wetland systems in
these areas are more fragmented and altered than those systems located within the
Conservation Lands, ACSC and NRPA 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 (Reference FLUE R1;tral Fringe }"{ixed Use District.).
(5) The protection of wetlands that are part of an established watershed management
plan. as per Objective 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.

This policy shall be impl~mented 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 Objective 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
acquisition by a public or private conservation entity such as CREW lands; f*l\:ilie
or private mitigation banks; wetlands that are part of an approved watershed
management plan. as per Obiective 2.1 of this Element~ and other areas
appropriate for mitigation, such as flow ways and areas containing habitat for
}Jlaftt Sf animal listed species.
(4) Within the Immokalee 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

URBAN DESIGNATION
(Revised text, pages 20, 21]
Urban Wesignated AW'eas on the Future Land Use Map include two general portions of
Collier County: areas with the greatest residential densities, and areas in close proximity,
which have or are projected to receive future urban support facilities and services. It is
intended that Urban Wesignated AW'eas accommodate the majority of population growth
and that new intensive land uses be located within them. Accordingly, the Urban AW'ea
will accommodate residential uses and a variety of non-residential uses. The Urban
Wesignated Awea, which includes Immokalee. Copeland. Plantation Island.
Chokoloskee. Port of the Islands. and Goodland Marco Island, in addition to the greater
Naples area. represents less than 10% of Collier County's land area.
The boundaries of the Urban Wesignated Aweas 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 Wesignated AWeas will accommodate the following uses:
a. Residential uses including single family, multi-family, duplex, and mobile home.
The maximum densities allowed are identified in the Districts, 8fld Subdistricts
and Overlays that follow. except as allowed by certain policies under Objective 5.
b. Non-residential uses including:

major roads and on spacing criteria. When this Plan was originally adopted in 1989. there
were 21 Activity Centers. There are now 19 Mixed Use Activity Centers, listed below,
which comprise approximately 3,000 acres; , this includes including 3 Interchange
Activity Centers (#4, 9, 10) which will be discussed separately under the Interchange
Activity Center Subdistrict. Two Activity Centers" # 19 and 21" have been deleted as they
are now within the incorporated City of Marco Island and replaced by the land use

The Mixed-Use Activity Center concept is designed to concentrate almost all new
commercial zoning in locations where traffic impacts can readily be accommodated, to
avoid strip and disorganized patterns of commercial development. and to create focal
points within the community. Mixed Use Activity Centers are intended to be mixed-use
in character. Further. they are generally intended to be developed at a human-scale. to be
pedestrian-oriented. and to be interconnected with abutting proiects - whether
commercial or residential. Street. pedestrian pathway and bike lane interconnections with
adjacent abutting properties. where possible and practicable. are
encouraged.,'\dditionally, some commercial development is allo'.ved outside of Mixed

for Master Planned Activity Centers. all Mixed Use Activity Centers may be developed
with any of the land uses allowed within this Subdistrict.
For residential-only development, if a project is located within the boundaries of a Mixed
Use Activity Center which is not within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict and is
not within the Coastal High Hazard Area or Urban Coastal Friage Subdistrict, up to 16
residential units per gross acre may be permitted. If such a project is located within the
boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center that is not within the Urban Residential
Fringe Subdistrict but is within the Coastal High Hazard Area. the eligible density shall
be limited to four dwelling units per acre. If such a project is located within the
boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center which is within the Urban Residential Fringe
Subdistrict. eligible density shall be as allowed by that Subdistrict. For a residential-only
project located partially within and partially outside of an Activity Center. the density
accumulated from the Activity Center portion of the project This density may be
distributed throughout the project, including any portion located outside of the boundary
of the Mixed Use l\etivity Ceftter.
Mixed-use developments - whether consisting of residential units located above
commercial uses, in an attached building, or in a freestanding building - are allowed and
encouraged within Mixed Use Activity Centers. Sueh mixed use projeets are iateaded to
be developed at a human seale, pedestrian oriented, 8.fld interoonneeted with adjooeBt
pr~ects whether commercial or resideBtial. Street, pedestrian pathv.'ay and bike lane
inter()onnections with adjooent properties, where possible and practicable, are
encouraged. Density for such a project is calculated based upon the gross project acreage
within the Activity Center. If such a project is located within the boundaries of a Mixed
Use Activity Center which is not within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict and is
not within the Coastal High Hazard Area, the eligible density is sixteen dwelling units per
acre. If such a project is located within the boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center
that is not within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict but is within the Coastal High

density accumulated from the Activity Center portion of the project may be distributed to
that portion of the project located outside of the Activity Center. In order to promote
compact and walkable mixed use projects, where the density from a mixed use project is
distributed outside the Activity Center boundary:
( 1) the mixed use component of the proiect within the Activity Center shall include a
minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the Activity Center-accumulated density~
(2) the dwelling units distributed outside the Activity Center shall be located within one
third (1/3) ofa mile of the Activity Center boundary~ and.
(3) the portion of the project within the Activity Center shall be developed at a human

Land becomes designated as an SRA upon the adoption of a resolution by the Collier
Coooty Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approving the petition by the property
owner seeking such designation. Any change in the residential density or non-residential
intensity of land use on a parcel of land located within a SRA shall be specified in the
resolution reflecting the total number of transferable Credits assigned to the parcel of
land. Density and intensity within the RLSA or within an SRA shall not be increased
beyond the Baseline Standards except through the provisions of the Stewardship Credit
System, the Affordable-workforce Housing Density Bonus as referenced in the Density
Rating System of the FLUE, and the density and intensity blending provision of the
Immokalee Area Master Plan.
Policy 4.7
[Revised text, page 93]
There are four specific forms of SRA permitted within the Overlay. These are Towns,
Villages, Hamlets, and Compact Rural Development (CRD). The Characteristics of
Towns, Villages, Hamlets, and CRD are set forth in Attachment C and are generally
described in Policies 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.7.3 and 4.7.4. Collier County shall establish more
specific regulations, guidelines and standards within the LDC Stewardship District to
guide the design and development of SRAs to include innovative planning and
development strategies as set forth in Chapter 163.3177 (11), F.S. and OJ-5.006(5)(l).
The size and base density of each form shall be consistent with the standards set forth on
Attachment C. The maximum base residential density as set forth in Attachment C may
only be exceeded through the density blending process as set forth in density and
intensity blending provision of the Immokalee Area Master Plan or through the
affordable-workforce housing density bonus as referenced in the Density Rating System
of the Future Land Use Element. The base residential density is calculated by dividing
the total number of residential units in a SRA by the overall area therein. The base

residential density does not restrict net residential density of parcels within a SRA. The
location, size and density of each SRA will be determined on an individual basis during
the SRA designation review and approval process.
Policy 4.7.1
[Revised text, page 94]
Towns are the largest and most diverse form of SRA, with a full range of housing types
and mix of uses. Towns have urban level services and infrastructure wlHeh that support
development that is compact, mixed use, human scale, and provides a balance of land
uses to reduce automobile trips and increase livability. Towns shall be not less than
1,000 acres or more than 4,000 acres and are comprised of several villages and/or
neighborhoods that have individual identity and character. Towns shall have a mixed-use
town center that will serve as a focal point for community facilities and support services.
Towns shall be designed to encourage pedestrian and bicycle circulation by including an
interconnected sidewalk and pathway system serving all residential neighborhoods.
Towns shall have at least one community park with a minimum size of 200 square feet
per dwelling unit in the Town.
Towns shall also have parks or public green spaces within neighborhoods. Towns shall
include both community and neighborhood scaled retail and office uses, in a ratio as
provided in Policy 4.15. Towns may also include those compatible corporate office and
light industrial uses as those permitted in the Business Park and Research and
Technology Park Subdistricts of the FLUE. Towns shall be the preferred location for the
full range of schools, and to the extent possible, schools and parks shall be located
adjaeeat to abutting each other to allow for the sharing of recreational facilities. Design
criteria for Towns shall be included in the LDC Stewardship District. Towns shall not be
located within the ACSC.
Policy 4.16
[Revised text, pages 97 -98]
A SRA shall have adequate infrastructure available to serve the proposed development,
or such infrastructure must be provided concurrently with the demand. The level of
infrastructure provided will depend on the form of SRA development, accepted civil
engineering practices, and LDC requirements. The capacity of infrastructure necessary to
serve the SRA at build-out must be demonstrated during the SRA designation process.
Infrastructure to be analyzed includes transportation, potable water, wastewater, irrigation
water, stormwater management, and solid waste. Transportation infrastructure is
discussed in Policy 4.14. Centralized or decentralized community water and wastewater
utilities are required in Towns, Villages, and those CRDs exceeding one hundred (100}
acres in size, and may be required in CRDs that are one hundred (100) acres or less in
size. depending upon the permitted uses approved within the CRD. Centralized or
decentralized community water and wastewater utilities shall be constructed, owned,
operated and maintained by a private utility service, the developer, a Community
Development District, the Immokalee Water Sewer Service District, Collier County, or
other governmental entity. Innovative alternative water and wastewater treatment
systems such as decentralized community treatment systems shall not be prohibited by

centralized/decentralized community system are available. Individual potable water
supply wells and septic systems are permitted in Hamlets and may be permitted in CRDs
of 100 acres or less in size.
Policy 4.18
[Revised text, page 98]
The SRA will be planned and designed to be fiscally neutral or positive to Collier County
at the horizon year based on a cost/benefit fiscal impact analysis model acceptable to or
as may be adopted by the County. The BCC may grant exceptions to this policy to
accommodate affordable-workforce housing, as it deems appropriate. Techniques that
may promote fiscal neutrality such as Community Development Districts, and other
special districts, shall be encouraged. At a minimum, the analysis shall consider the
following public facilities and services: transportation, potable water, wastewater,
irrigation water, storm water management, solid waste, parks, law enforcement, and
schools. Development phasing, developer contributions and mitigation, and other
public/private partnerships shall address any potential adverse impacts to adopted levels
of service standards.
