The CCPC recommended Transmittal Amendments were reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on May 14, 2019. The Board voted (5-0) to Transmit the amendments, with no changes, to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and other statutorily required agencies. In their response letter, DEO provided three suggestions which, in their opinion, can strengthen the IAMP (DEO's letter is included in back-up materials); staff is not recommending any changes to the Transmitted amendments. No other review agency had any suggestions or comments. These IAMP amendments are presented to the CCPC for review and recommendation at its Adoption hearing, in its capacity as the Land Planning Agency under Florida Statutes and in its capacity as the Environmental Advisory Council. BACKGROUND On February 10, 2015 the Board directed staff to initiate GMP "restudies" of four GMP program areas in eastern Collier County: Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (RFMUD), Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP), Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA), and Immokalee Area Master Plan (TAMP). The IAMP restudy was undertaken beginning in January of 2018. As with all restudies, through a public outreach effort, staff focused on complementary land uses, economic vitality, mobility and environmental sustainability. The Board appointed an ad hoc advisory committee, the Growth Management Oversight Committee (GMOC), to oversee the public engagement process and review staff recommendations from a high level. At the conclusion of the public engagement process, staff prepared a White Paper summarizing public comments and listing recommended amendments to the TAMP. The GMOC found the White Paper recommendations consistent with public participation direction, supportive of sustainability and economic vitality and, so far as known, consistent with other restudy planning efforts. The White Paper —1— CPSP-2018-5 / PL20180002258 Proposed Immokalee Area Master Plan Amendments for Adoption was presented to the Board on June 26, 2018. At that time, the Board directed staff to initiate the GMP Amendment process for the proposed changes to the TAMP. The specific "Transmittal" amendments to the IAMP were presented to the CCPC on January 31, 2019, February 21, 2019, and March 7, 2019. The staff report describing these amendments is attached. That staff report summarizes the substantive amendments presented to the CCPC. By vote of 5-1, the CCPC recommended approval for transmittal of the GMP amendments subject to certain changes. In all cases, staff had no objection to the recommended changes, which are incorporated into the documents at hand. At its meeting on May 14, 2019, the Board voted 5-0 to approve transmittal of the IAMP with changes as suggested by the CCPC. No further changes were directed by the Board. The IAMP was transmitted on May 24, 2019, to DEO. The DEO response letter had no objection, recommendation or comment related to adverse impacts to important state resources and facilities within the Department's authorized scope of review, nor did any other statutorily required review agency. However, DEO did offer suggestions that, in their opinion, can strengthen the TAMP. In summary, DEO suggests consideration of adding intensity of use standards related to allowed non-residential uses in the Planned Unit Development, Commercial Mixed -Use Subdistrict, Recreational/Tourist Subdistrict, Industrial Mixed -Use Subdistrict and Industrial Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict. In Collier County for county -wide GMP amendments, intensity of non-residential uses is established in the Land Development Code, or within Planned Unit Development Ordinances, through the defined requirements of setbacks, height, parking, landscaping and/or other development standards such as floor area ratios. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item was reviewed by the County Attorney's office on September 23, 2019. [HFAC] STAFF RECOMMENDATION That the Collier County Planning Commission, acting as the Land Planning Agency and the Environmental Advisory Council, forward the proposed IAMP restudy -based amendments to the Board of County Commissioners with a recommendation of approval for adoption and transmittal to DEO.

INTRODUCTION Immokalee has long been recognized as a distinct community within Collier County. Immokalee's economy, geography, and demographic make-up are different than the rest of Collier County. Approximately one-half of the land within the Immokalee Urban Area is presently zoned and actively used for agriculture. The urban area is surrounded by productive crop lands and environmentally significant habitat. Most Immokalee residents work within the agricultural industry, and the majority of agricultural laborers originate from Mexico and Central America. Statistics from the 2010 Census (the most comprehensive data for Immokalee currently available), comparing Immokalee to the County as a whole, reflect some of the key socio- economic differences, including age distribution, race and ethnicity, income, education and housing. The Immokalee Area Planning Commission was formed in 1965, and Immokalee was governed under separate Zoning and Subdivision Regulations until 1982. While it is now included under the county -wide Land Development Code, in 1991 the County again acknowledged the need for Immokalee-specific land use regulation with the adoption of the first Immokalee Area Master Plan as an element in the Countv's overall comDrehensive Dlan. Collier County first established the Immokalee Area as a Planning Community in its 1983 Comprehensive Plan. In 1989, the County adopted revisions to the comprehensive plan, now called the Growth Management Plan (GMP), which included a requirement to develop an area master plan for Immokalee. In 1991, the County adopted the first Immokalee Area Master Plan (TAMP), as referenced in Policy 4.3 of the Future Land Use Element: A detailed Master Plan for the Immokalee Urban designated area has been developed and was incorporated into this Growth Management Plan in February 1991. Major revisions were adopted in 1997 following the 1996 Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The Immokalee Area Master Plan addresses conservation, future land use, population, recreation, transportation, housing, and the local economy. Major purposes of the Master Plan are coordination of land uses and transportation planning, redevelopment or renewal of blighted areas, and the promotion of economic development. The IAMP is in addition to and supplements the goals, objectives, and policies, of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. Due to the unique geographic, social, and economic characteristics of the Immokalee Urban Designated Area as compared with urban Naples, Coastal Collier County, and the State of Florida as a whole, the Board of County Commissioners deemed it necessary to restudy the Immokalee Urban Designated Area. On May 27, 2003, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2003-192, which established the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Committee as an ad hoc advisory committee to the board. The Committee was to serve for a period of one year. On September 28, 2004, the Board adopted Ordinance 2004-62, extending the timeframe for the advisory committee and renaming it the Immokalee Master Plan and Visioning Committee (IMPVC November 13, 2007, the Board adopted Ordinance 2007-69, which extended the timeframe aaain.

Assist in the development of any necessary Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for consulting �1119 I11 NT:wl B. Assist County staff with the review of general planning matters related to the Immokalee Community. These could include housing, zoning, economic and/or other issues as may be brouaht before the Committee. C. Identify and provide the Board of County Commissioners the Committee recommendations relative to: 1. road improvements; 2. economic incentives; 3. increasing the quality and quantity of affordable housing: 4. land uses and improvements relative to the Immokalee Regional Airport; 5. density increases in mixed-use districts; 6. restructurina of future land use desianations and desianation boundaries within the Immokalee community; 7. the facilitation of construction of commercial development in commercial districts; 8. the preparation of revisions to current zoning districts and the development of associated LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as amended) standards; and 9. the review of the 5 -year Schedule of Capital Improvements relative to the Immokalee community. D. Assist in the development of revised goals, objectives, and policies, and land use designation descriptions for the Immokalee Area Master Plan. E. Assist in the review and updating of the Immokalee Area Master Plan in order to establish consistency between the Master Plan and the County Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay provisions. The IMPVC worked steadily towards achieving these goals. However, by 2012 the adoption of the revised IAMP and revised Immokalee Master Plan Future Land Use Map remained out of reach and no amendments were made to the IAMP. In 2015, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to update four area master plans including the Immokalee Area Master Plan. Staff then engaged the Immokalee community in a review of the significant work accomplished during the previous restudy. The amendments to the IAMP found herein are a result of the Immokalee residents and business owners continued focus and effort to improve the land use policies that will regulate growth in their community. An integral component of Immokalee's future is the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). Established in 2000 by the Board of County Commissioners, the Agency's Words underlined are added; words str uGk througI4 are deleted 9/25/2019 Page 24 of 53 Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan CCPC Adoption Draft PL20180002258/CPSP-2018-5 mission is to eliminate blighted conditions as identified under Chapter 163, Part 3 of the Florida Statutes. The Board of County Commissioners is the ex -officio board of the CRA. In 2000, the BCC adopted the Collier County Community Redevelopment Plan that included two redevelopment areas: Bayshore/Gateway Triangle and Immokalee. In 2000, the Immokalee CRA Local Redevelopment Advisory Board was created and members from the community were appointed to provide recommendations to the CRA to implement the redevelopment plan and the allocation of tax increment revenues generated by increased Property values. Over the years, the Immokalee CRA Local Advisory Board has served as a vehicle to bring forward community needs and interests. For the Durposes of this Plan. the Immokalee CRA is defined to reference the Immokalee component of the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency. II. NEW DIRECTIONS Through the County's public outreach during the Immokalee Area Master Plan restudy process, it is clear that the residents of Immokalee see new possibilities for their community with the development of this Master Plan. With the development of this new Master Plan, Immokalee has chosen to focus on opportunities rather than challenges. Immokalee is committed to redefining its future, revitalizing its community, and developing a new mission that focuses on strengthening and diversifying its economy, embracing cultural diversity, and welcoming visitors to "this place we call home." During the 2018 public workshop process, residents and business owners established a guiding community vision. It is the intent to implement this vision through the Goals, Objectives and Policies of this Master Plan. The community defined their vision as: "Immokalee is a family-oriented community that supports a healthy lifestyle. It is attractive, environmentally sustainable and offers a full range of housing, recreation and education opportunities to meet all residents' needs. Immokalee has a safe, well-connected network to walk and bicycle about town, as well as a roadway network needed to support the transport of goods and services. Business and job opportunities flourish in trade and distribution, agri-business, and ecotourism." Economic opportunity lies in Immokalee's diverse community. Many residents have roots in Mexico, Central America, Haiti, and various other Caribbean nations. This multicultural heritage should be embraced and used to develop a local marketing strategy. This diversity should guide the redevelopment and design of downtown in order to create a distinct area that will attract new business and visitors. Revitalization of the Main Street commercial corridor will be designed to embrace this cultural diversity; take advantage of the traffic generated by the Immokalee Seminole Casino Hotel and the growing Stewardship Receiving Areas, including the Town of Ave Maria: and create new Dublic Dlazas and aatherina spaces. These Dublic Dlazas and Words underlined are added; words strut k threugh are deleted 9/25/2019 Page 25 of 53 Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan CCPC Adoption Draft PL20180002258/CPSP-2018-5 spaces will be designed within an appropriate streetscape to foster walkability and a mixture of uses, including entertainment and cultural events, and will position Immokalee to attract new residents and visitors to the downtown area. The diversity of Immokalee extends to its unique natural surroundings, which can also be a great benefit to the local economy. Lake Trafford, at Immokalee's western boundary, as well as other adiacent vast natural areas, which include historic working ranches, provide an excellent opportunity to market Immokalee as an ecotourist destination. Immokalee provides a gateway to the Everglades, a world-renowned ecotourist destination. Ecotourists come to an area to experience the natural, rather than the built, environment. Lake Trafford and its environs offer opportunities for boating, fishing, camping, and hiking, and the chance to experience natural Florida and this freshwater frontier. Agriculture continues to be the major local industry and Immokalee residents recognize emerging opportunities for new agricultural -related businesses. Increasing fuel costs, apprehension related to food security, and environmental concerns have increased the demand for safe, sustainable, and domestically produced foods and energy sources. Immokalee has an oDDortunity to create a new farmers' market or expand the existina state farmers' market to serve the regional demand for fresh produce. Additionally, residents see opportunities emerging from the regional economy and the strategic location of Immokalee in the region. Immokalee will not remain isolated in the future. One state arterial (SR 29) runs through the downtown, while another ends lust three miles north of downtown (SR 82). A manor county road (CR 846, Immokalee Road), connects Immokalee to I - 75. Planned capacity improvements to SR 82 and SR 29 will open up the area to more travel, and planned roadway expansions, including a SR 29 Loop, will further improve the accessibility to and from Immokalee, helping it to become a tourist destination and a distribution center for goods and services. Improvements to the roadway system, both regionally and within the Immokalee Urban Area, are must one part of how the overall transportation network will impact the future. Incentives to encourage economic development at the IMM include the Florida Tradeport which operates within a Foreign Trade Zone (#213), and the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Zone. IMM provides direct access to over 1,000 acres allowing a broad range of aeronautical and industrial uses, and two paved runways equipped for Global Position Satellite (GPS) and instrument approaches. The opportunities available through development of the Tradeport are particularly significant given that in 2012 the Collier County Office of Business and Economic Development (OBED) estimated the County will need an additional 3,685 acres of new business park lands by 2030. The OBED has been working to attract research clusters to Collier County to diversify the economy, which is currently highly dependent on only three industries: agriculture, construction, and tourism and services. The three targeted industry clusters are: health and life science; computer software and services; and distribution. Given its location, access to major roads, connectivitv with other Darts of the state. availabilitv of developable land. and the airport.

Another potential for economic growth lies in anticipated development in areas surrounding Immokalee. As new towns in eastern Collier County develop, needed government services and departments could be centrally located in Immokalee to serve the eastern portion of the County. III. IMMOKALEE AREA MASTER PLAN PRIORITIES The Immokalee Area Master Plan has been developed to emphasize these identified opportunities and strengths. The first goal specifically makes economic development a priority, and the objectives and policies set forth specific ways to promote and diversify the local economy and create a positive business climate. The second goal focuses on quality neighborhoods. An Immokalee Neighborhood Map has been created by the community to begin the process of evaluating the needs of each neighborhood. Future neighborhood improvements such as housing conditions, water management, transportation, lighting and play areas, are encouraged to elevate the quality of life for Immokalee residents. The third addresses infrastructure and public services. Parks and recreational opportunities to serve the young families in Immokalee are the first public infrastructure item discussed. Transportation is a major component of any community's public infrastructure needs, and while county -wide issues are still dealt with in the county Transportation Element, this portion addresses Immokalee's local roads and needed public safety improvements to protect pedestrians and bicyclists. Other important public services include stormwater management and solid waste, which are addressed as well.

DENSITY RATING The Density Rating System is applicable to areas designated Urban - Mixed Use District, as identified on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map. Except as provided below, the final determination of permitted density via implementation of this Density Rating System is made by the Board of County Commissioners through an advertised public hearing process (rezone) in accordance with the LDC. Density achieved by right (as may be permitted for qualifying Affordable Housing protects) shall not be combined with density achieved through the rezone public hearing process. THE DENSITY RATING SYSTEM IS APPLIED IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER: a. Within the applicable Urban designated areas, the base density of the Subdistrict is allowed, though not an entitlement. Density may be increased using applicable density bonuses. For purposes of calculating the eligible number of dwelling units for the project, the total number of dwelling units may be rounded up by one unit if the dwelling unit total yields a fraction of a unit 0.5 or greater. Acreage used for the calculation of density is exclusive of commercial portions of the prosect, except within the C-1 through C-3 Commercial zoning districts, and except within the Commercial Mixed -Use Subdistrict, wherein residential project densities will be calculated on total gross acreage, and except portions of a project for land uses having an established equivalent residential density in the Collier County Land Development Code. b. This Density Rating System only applies to residential dwelling units. This Density Rating System is not applicable to accessory dwellings or accessory structures. Such accessory dwellings and structures include quest houses, mother-in-law's quarters, cabanas, quest suites, and the like. c. All new residential zoning located within the Urban Mixed -Use District shall be consistent with the Density Rating System, except as provided for in Policy 5.1.6. d. Within the applicable areas of the Urban Mixed -Use District, all properties zoned A, Rural Agricultural, E, Estates, and/or RSF-1, 2, 3, Residential Single Family, for which an affordable housing project is proposed and approved, in accordance with Section 2.06.00 of the LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as amended), shall be permitted the base density of four (4) dwelling units per gross acre by right, except in the case of lands designated LR on the IAMP Future Land Use Map (FLUM), wherein the density shall not exceed 50% of the maximum permitted density of the zoning district for the subject property; that Words underlined are added; words str uGk througI4 are deleted 9/25/2019 Page 46 of 53 Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan CCPC Adoption Draft is, a rezone public heari minimum of ten acres. 2. DENSITY BONUSES shall not be reauired. Such a P L20180002258/C P S P-2018-5 ect must comDrise a To encourage infill development, the creation of affordable housing, and preferred roadway access, certain density bonuses are available. If these bonuses are utilized, base densities may be exceeded. In the Low Residential Subdistrict, the base density of four units per acre may only be exceeded if utilizing an affordable housing bonus. In no case shall the resulting density exceed the maximum density specified in each Subdistrict. a. Proximity to Commercial -Mixed Use If 50% or more of a project is within the Commercial - Mixed Use Subdistrict, then the base density allowed within the Commercial - Mixed Use Subdistrict of sixteen (16) dwelling units per acre applies to the entire protect, except that this bonus cannot be used to increase density on lands within the project designated Low Residential. Buffering to achieve compatibility with adiacent lower intensity uses shall be required. b. Affordable Housing Bonus, by Public Hearing To encourage the provision of affordable housing within certain Subdistricts in the Urban Designated Area, a maximum of twelve (12) dwelling units per gross acre may be added to the base density if the project meets the definition and requirements of the Affordable Housing Density Bonus Ordinance (Section 2.06.00 of the Land Development Code, Ordinance 04-41, as amended). c. Affordable Housing Bonus, by Right To encourage the provision of affordable housing within that portion of the Urban Mixed Use District, properties zoned A, Rural Agricultural, E, Estates, RSF-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Residential Single Family, VR, Village Residential, and/or RMF -6, Residential Multi - Family -6, for which an affordable housing project is proposed in accordance with the definitions and requirements of the Affordable Housing Density Bonus Ordinance (Section 2.06.00 of the Land Development Code, Ordinance 04-41, as amended maximum of four (4) residential units Der aross acre shall be added to the base densitv of four (4) dwelling units per gross acre, except in the case of lands designated LR on the IAMP Future Land Use Map (FLUM), wherein the bonus shall not exceed 50% of the maximum permitted density of the zoning district for the subject property. Therefore, the maximum density that may be achieved by right shall not exceed eight (8) dwelling units per gross acre. Such a project must comprise a minimum of ten acres. d. Residential Infill To encourage residential infill, three (3) residential dwelling units per gross acre may be added if the following criteria are met: The project is twenty (20) acres or less in size; at the time of development, the project will be served by central public water and sewer; at least one abutting property is developed; the project is Words underlined are added; words str uGk througI4 are deleted 9/25/2019 Page 47 of 53 Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan CCPC Adoption Draft PL20180002258/CPSP-2018-5 compatible with surrounding land uses; the property in question has no common site development plan with adjacent property; there is no common ownership with any adjacent parcels; and the parcel in question was not created to take advantage of the residential infill density bonus and was created prior to January 10, 1989. This bonus cannot be used to exceed the base density in the Low Residential (LR) Subdistrict. 2. This Residential Infill bonus shall only be applicable on a one time basis and shall not be expanded or continued to other adjacent properties, except for additional properties not exceeding 20 acres in aggregate when added to the original application of this provision and meeting all the above criteria. e. Roadway Access If the prosect has direct access to two (2) or more arterial or collector roads or if there is a project commitment for provision of interconnection of roads accessible to the public with existing or future abutting projects, one (1) dwelling unit per gross acre may be added above the base density of the Subdistrict. This bonus cannot be used to exceed the base density in the Low Residential (LR) Subdistrict. 3. DENSITY AND INTENSITY BLENDING a. This provision is intended to encourage unified plans of development and to preserve the high-quality wetlands, wildlife habitat, and other natural features that exist within areas of the Immokalee Urban Area, which are proximate to Lake Trafford and Camp Keais Strand. In the case of properties which are contiguous to Lake Trafford or Camp Keais Strand, which straddle the Immokalee Urban Area and the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA) as depicted on the countywide Future Land Use Map, and which were in existence and under unified control as of October 22, 2002, the allowable gross density and/or intensity may be shifted from the Urban designated lands to lands within the RLSA which are contiguous and under unified control, and which are designated as a Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA) in the RLSA. The density and/or intensity may be shifted on an acre per acre basis. This Density and Intensity Blending Drovision is further subiect to the followina conditions and limitations: 1. The project in aggregate must be a minimum of 200 acres in size and the Urban Dortion must be desianated Recreational/Tourist Subdistrict (RT) or Low Residential Subdistrict (LR) in the Immokalee Area Master Plan: 2. It must be demonstrated the lands designated Urban have a high natural resource value as indicated by the presence of Group 1 or Group 2 FLUCCS Codes and a Natural Resource Index score of greater than 1.2 (both as identified on the Stewardship Credit Worksheet in the RLSA); Words underlined are added; words str u^' througI4 are deleted 9/25/2019 Page 48 of 53 Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan CCPC Adoption Draft PL20180002258/CPSP-2018-5 3. Densitv and intensitv may only be shifted from lands within the Immokalee Urban Area containing this high natural resource value (as measured above) to the lands within a contiguous SRA, on an acre per acre basis, providing such lands were under unified control as of October 22, 2002; and 4. Lands within the Urban area, from which the density and/or intensity has been shifted. shall be Dlaced in a conservation easement in DerDetuity. b. For DroDerties containina two or more Future Land Use Subdistricts. the overall and/or intensity that could be achieved in aggregate may be distributed throughout the project, provided the total allowable density and/or intensity is not exceeded, and further subject to the following_ 1. The project furthers the protection, enhancement or restoration of wetlands, listed species habitat, or other natural features; 2. The project is consistent with, and furthers the applicable objectives of, the Immokalee Area Master Plan and is compatible with surrounding properties and environment; 3. The prosect is approved as a Planned Unit Development; and 4. The project mitigates for any negative impacts on adjacent properties through appropriate measures, such as buffering, separation, or other land design techniques, adequate to lessen these effects. B. URBAN—INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT The purpose of this District is to function as a major employment center and is intended to accommodate industrial, distribution, trade, agriculture, and manufacturing uses; essential services; and commercial uses as limited within each Subdistrict. 1.

Certain residential, mobile home and migrant transient housing uses are permitted on properties located at 1101, 1121, and 1123 Alachua Street, Immokalee, Florida, in accordance with the Mediated Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release relating to Case No. 08 -9355 -CA and Case No. 09 -1281 -CA, dated February 26, 2013 (See OR Book 4895, Page 1963 et seq. of the Official Public Records of Collier County, Florida Agreement references both the Commerce Center -Mixed Use Subdistrict of the Urban Mixed -Use District and the Commerce Center -Industrial Subdistrict of the Urban -Industrial District of the IAMP in effect on February 26, 2013. 3. Industrial — Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict The purpose of this Subdistrict is to allow the Collier County Airport Authority (CCAA) and leaseholders to develop the Immokalee Regional Airport and surrounding lands for the economic health and development of the greater Immokalee area and Collier County as a whole. Because the CCAA needs to retain flexibility to provide various general aviation and revenue -generating opportunities via land leases as the Airport grows and changes over time, a broad range of uses shall be allowed in this Subdistrict. In addition to all uses permitted in the Industrial Subdistrict, allowable uses include: airport facility and related accessory uses; commercial, industrial, institutional and agricultural uses; freight and warehousing; trade; and ancillary recreational, vehicular racing, communications, essential service uses, and additional uses as permitted in the Airport Operations Planned Unit Development, Ordinance No. 10-07. C. OVERLAYS AND FEATURES 1. Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay The Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the GMP, Policy 6.2.4(4), identifies possible high-quality wetland systems connected to the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand system within the Immokalee Urban Area. These wetlands require greater protection measures than wetlands located in other portions of the Immokalee Urban Designated Area. These wetlands are identified on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map by the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay (LT/CKSSO). Words underlined are added; words str uGk througI4 are deleted 9/25/2019 Page 50 of 53 Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan CCPC Adoption Draft PL20180002258/CPSP-2018-5 The Densitv and Intensitv Blendina Drovisions of this Master Plan may be utilized for lands within this LT/CKSSO. The maximum allowable gross density for lands within the LT/CKSSO is the base density established for the applicable Subdistrict. Lands within the LT/CKSSO are not eligible for any density bonuses, including by right. Essential Services shall be limited to: those necessary to ensure public safety; and those necessary to serve permitted uses, such as private wells and septic tanks, utility lines, lift stations, and water pumping stations. The additional wetland protection measures do not apply to properties within the LT/CKSSO that have been legally cleared of native vegetation as of the adoption of this Master Plan, but do apply to all new development and redevelopment pursuant to the applicable nonconforming provisions set forth in the LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as amended). If development on the Seminole Reservation functionally severs the connectivity of the wetland system for properties within the LT/CKSSO, east of the Reservation, the additional wetland protection measures will not be applied to those severed eastern wetlands. The standard measures for wetlands in Urban designated lands shall be applied, as described in the CCME, to those severed eastern wetlands. 2. Seminole Reservation (SR) Feature The Seminole Reservation within Immokalee comprises approximately 600 acres of largely undeveloped land owned by the Seminole Tribal Council and located on the east side of First Street, South of (SR 29). The Seminole Reservation is not controlled or regulated by the Collier County Growth Management Plan or LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as amended) and is identified on the Future Land Use Map for illustrative purposes only. 3. Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area Feature In order for local governments to designate a geographic area within its jurisdiction as an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area pursuant to Section 163.2517 (4), Florida Statutes, it must amend its comprehensive land use plan to delineate the boundaries within the Future Land Use Element. The Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area is consistent with criteria outlined in Section 163.2514(2)(x) -(e), Florida Statutes. The intent of this delineation is to comprehensively address the urban problems within the area consistent with the goals of this plan. The Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area was adopted by Ordinance 2000-66 and the Urban Infill and Redevelopment Plan was adopted by Ordinance 2000-71. 4. Industrial — Mixed Use Commercial Overlay The Industrial - Mixed Use Commercial Overlav is deDicted on the IAMP Future Lands Use Map and comprises approximately 363 acres.

Ordinance No. 04-41, as amended - are limited to a maximum of thirty percent (30%) of the Overlay land area (approximately 109 acres). To implement this Overlay, Collier County shall initiate a Land Development Code amendment within two years of adoption. For lands in this Overlay that are adjacent to residentially or agriculturally -zoned properties, a minimum 75 -foot building setback, which includes a minimum 20 -foot wide vegetated landscape buffer, shall be provided. This vegetated buffer shall be located adjacent to the property line and shall contain, at a minimum, two staggered rows of trees that shall be spaced no more than 30 feet on center, and a double row hedge at least 24 inches in height at time of planting and attaining a minimum of three feet in height within one year. Existing native trees must be retained within this 20 -foot wide buffer area to aid in achieving this buffer requirement; other existing native vegetation shall be retained, where possible, to aid in achieving this buffer requirement. Water retention/detention areas shall be allowed in this buffer area if left in natural state, and drainage conveyance through the buffer area shall be allowed if necessary to reach an external outfall. The required 75 -foot setback may be reduced to 50 feet if a minimum 6 - foot tall decorative wall or fence providing at least 80 percent opacity is installed within the reduced setback, and the required 20 -foot wide landscape buffer is located between the wall or fence and the adjacent residentially and/or agriculturally zoned properties.

McDaniel, Jr. Chairman, Collier County Board of County Commissioners 3299 Tamiami Trail East, Suite 303 Naples, Florida 34112 Dear Chairman McDaniel: Ken Lawson EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The Department of Economic Opportunity ("Department") has reviewed the Collier County proposed comprehensive plan amendment (Amendment No. 19-04ESR), received on May 24, 2019, pursuant to the expedited state review process in Section 163.3184(2)(3), Florida Statutes (F.S.). We have identified no comment related to adverse impacts to important state resources and facilities within the Department's authorized scope of review. We are, however, providing a technical assistance comment consistent with Section 163.3168(3), F.S. The technical assistance comment will not form the basis of a challenge. It is offered either as a suggestion which can strengthen the County's comprehensive plan in order to foster a vibrant, healthy community or is technical in nature and designed to ensure consistency with the Community Planning Act in Chapter 163, Part ll, F.S. The technical assistance comment is: The County should consider making the following revisions to the proposed "Land Use Designation Description Section" in order facilitate land use compatibility and the planning of supporting infrastructure. First, the proposed "Land Use Designation Description Section" allows commercial use through a Planned Unit Development within the Low Residential Subdistrict, Medium Residential Subdistrict and High Residential Subdistrict land use categories and establishes acreage standards (the amount of acres) for the amount of commercial use that may be allowed within the Planned Unit Development. The County should consider revising the amendment to include additional intensity of use standards (e.g., floor area ratio) for the commercial use. Second, for the proposed "Commercial — Mixed Use Subdistrict" land use category, the County should consider revising the amendment to include the generalized type of nonresidential uses (e.g., commercial, office, industrial, etc.) and associated intensity of use standards that are intended to be allowed rather than referencing the Land Development Code. Third, for the proposed "Recreational/Tourist Subdistrict" land use category, the County should consider revising the amendment to include intensity of use standards that are intended to be allowed for the nonresidential uses (particularly for museums, cultural facilities, restaurants, and low -intensity retail). Finally, for the proposed "Industrial — Mixed Use Subdistrict" and Florida Department of Economic Opportunity I Caldwell Building 1 107 E.

McDaniel, Jr., Chairman June 21, 2019 Page 2 of 2 "Industrial — Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict" land use categories, the County should consider revising the amendment to include the intensity of use standards that are intended to be allowed for the nonresidential uses. The County should act by choosing to adopt, adopt with changes, or not adopt the proposed amendment. For your assistance, we have enclosed the procedures for adoption and transmittal of the comprehensive plan amendment. In addition, the County is reminded that: • Section 163.3184(3)(b), F.S., authorizes other reviewing agencies to provide comments directly to the County. If the County receives reviewing agency comments and they are not resolved, these comments could form the basis for a challenge to the amendment after adoption. The second public hearing, which shall be a hearing on whether to adopt one or more comprehensive plan amendments, must be held within 180 days of your receipt of agency comments or the amendment shall be deemed withdrawn unless extended by agreement with notice to the Department and any affected party that provided comment on the amendment pursuant to Section 163.3184(3)(c)1,, F.S_ The adopted amendment must be rendered to the Department.

Revised: lune 2018 Page 2 I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve proposed amendments to the Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP) for transmittal to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and other agencies for review and objections, recommendations and comments (ORC) response. [Transmittal Hearing] OBJECTIVE: For the Board of County Commissioners (Board) to review and approve the proposed amendments to the IAMP for transmittal to DEO and other applicable agencies for review. CONSIDERATIONS: On February 10, 2015, the Board directed staff to initiate GMP "restudies" of four GMP master plans in eastern Collier County: Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, Golden Gate Area Master Plan, Rural Lands Stewardship Area, and Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP). The IAMP restudy formally began in January 2018. As with all restudies, through a public outreach effort, staff focused on complementary land uses, economic vitality, mobility and environmental sustainability. The Board appointed an ad hoc advisory committee, the Growth Management Oversight Committee (GMOC), which first convened in December 2015. The GMOC has directed the public engagement process of the restudies since inception. The GMOC reviews the restudy recommendations, emphasizing consistency among the restudies, sustainability and economic vitality. Unlike prior area restudies, however, the Board directed that staff, rather than appointed committees, provide recommendations to the Board covering each of the four areas. The White Paper, Attachment B, provides the summary of findings underlying the revisions to Goals, Objectives, Policies and Land Use Designation Descriptions within the IAMP. The White Paper (Attachment A) was presented to the Board on June 26, 2018. At that time, the Board directed staff to initiate the GMP Amendment process for the proposed changes to the IAMP. The Immokalee Urban area, surrounded by the rural agricultural area designated as the Rural Lands Stewardship Area, is a community of about 30 square miles containing ±17,116 acres of land. More than half of the land use within the Immokalee Urban area is presently agricultural (approximately 10,000 acres). The remainder is a mixture of residential, commercial, industrial, and airport uses. During 2003, the Board authorized Comprehensive Planning staff to prepare recommendations for revising the 1997 IAMP. Subsequently, the Board established the Immokalee Area Master Plan and Visioning Committee to work with staff in making proposed revisions to the IAMP. The Committee worked for over a four-year period conducting public meetings, collecting and analyzing data, and drafting revisions to the IAMP. Hearings on the proposed amendments commenced in January 2010 with transmittal to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (predecessor to DEO) occurring in September 2010. Adoption hearings followed, beginning in January 2011. Through the adoption phase, the Board directed the Collier County Supervisor of Elections to place a straw ballot referendum on the August 2012 ballot for the purpose of measuring the Immokalee community support for the proposed amendments. The referendum resulted in the majority of voters (67%) in favor of the amendments. At the Board's final adoption hearing on the proposed amendments, one Commissioner abstained, and the final vote was 3-1 for approval (adoption). Because a minimum of four affirmative votes was required, the proposed IAMP amendments failed to be adopted. With the current IAMP restudy process, staff began with the review of the extensive community work and resulting proposed amendments from a previous restudy effort. That draft IAMP document was used as a starting point for further community consideration. The community's recommendations and continued 2 refinement of the IAMP is reflected in Attachment B, showing additions as underlines and deletions as strikethroughs. Also included in Attachment B is the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) that shows the changes between the adopted and proposed FLUM. Immokalee's Vision: Through the IAMP restudy process, the residents of Immokalee saw new possibilities for their community. With this new Master Plan, Immokalee has chosen to focus on opportunities rather than challenges. Immokalee is committed to redefining its future, revitalizing its community, and developing a new vision and mission that focuses on strengthening and diversifying its economy, embracing cultural diversity, and welcoming visitors to "this place we call home." During the 2018 public workshop process, residents and business owners created a guiding community vision. It is the intent to implement this vision through the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the proposed IAMP. The community defined its vision as: "Immokalee is a family-oriented community that supports a healthy lifestyle. It is attractive, environmentally sustainable and offers a full range of housing, recreation and education opportunities to meet all residents' needs. Immokalee has a safe, well-connected network to walk and bicycle about town, as well as a roadway network needed to support the transport of goods and services. Business and job opportunities flourish in trade and distribution, agri-business, and ecotourism. " The proposed Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP) policy amendments, and changes associated with land use designations, implement the community's established vision and the smart growth principles to: • Provide Mixed Land Uses • Promote Compact Building Design • Create a Range of Housing Opportunities and Choices • Create Walkable Neighborhoods • Foster Distinctive, Attractive Communities with a Strong Sense of Place • Preserve Open Space, Farmland, Natural Beauty and Critical Environmental Areas • Strengthen and Direct Development Towards Existing Communities • Provide a Variety of Transportation Choices • Make Development Decisions Predictable, Fair and Cost Effective • Encourage Community and Stakeholder Collaboration in Development Decisions. Mixed land uses are a critical component of achieving more livable places and transportation choices. The proposed IAMP provides a mix of land uses arranged in a coherent order of an urban to rural transect. Modifications to residential land use designations encourage compact building design, directed towards the developed area, and provide land owners opportunities to create more housing choices, such as the multi- family units. Proposed IAMP policies are intended to strengthen the quality of existing neighborhoods and create a process for making improvements more cost effective. Transportation needs in Immokalee are strikingly different than coastal Collier County. Approximately 50% of Immokalee residents walk, bicycle and use transit. To support Immokalee residents' housing and transportation needs, the IAMP must guide and support the smart growth principles of creating a range of housing opportunities in compact, walkable neighborhoods in close proximity to established commercial areas. In general, the amendments to the IAMP propose seven new goals, each with respective objectives and policies, followed by the revised Land Use Designation Description Section. The revised goals simplify but maintain the original intent of the existing adopted goals. During each public workshop, staff reviewed with the public the adopted and proposed goals to measure the continued support for the proposed goals and land use designations. There was overwhelming consensus and a preference to move forward with the proposed IAMP. Consistent with the Board's direction to evaluate and consider land use, economic vitality, transportation and natural resources, following are some of the more substantial changes proposed: Land Use and Economic Vitality The land use designations and policy amendments are intended to support the community's number one goal of economic development, and The re -designation of the lands within the boundary of the Immokalee Regional Airport from Industrial (I) to Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict (IRA); • A re -designation of approximately 684 acres of residential lands proposed to support commercial or industrial development; o ±122 acres to allow commercial development. Intensity of development is proposed to remain as allowed in the existing IAMP: C-1 through C-4 uses, o ±362 acres to allow industrial mixed-use development, and o ±200 acres to allow Recreational Tourist development • A re -designation of some low density residential lands to medium density residential lands to support and encourage multi -family development in the right location; • No changes in base density except for an increase in the Commercial Mixed -Use District (12 to 16 units per acre), and affordable housing bonus previously approved by the BCC (bonus increased from 8 to 12 units per acre maximum); and • On outlying properties zoned (A) Rural Agricultural, within the Low Residential Subdistrict, diversify economic opportunities by including agriculture research and development facilities, agribusiness offices and headquarters, and facilities, offices, headquarters and apparatuses associated with renewable energy. These new uses will be subject to Land Development Code Amendments to establish compatibility criteria and development standards. Table 1 below illustrates the proposed changes to FLUM designations. 0 Table 1: FLUM designation changes.

For ease of comparison of the industrial designation acreage, the adopted IAMP total Industrial is 2,644 acres, and the proposed IAMP is 3,002 acres. The location of changes in land use designations are reflected in Attachment B, IAMP FLUM – Existing vs Proposed. In addition to the noted substantive land use changes, two specific opportunities were identified through this restudy effort as important to the community: 1) explore opportunities for an Immokalee civic center, and 2) coordinate with the community to further improve emergency preparedness. Transportation 5 In large part, transportation choice is dependent on land use. If land use policy favors low density, auto - oriented development, all other modes of transportation suffer and are less desirable. In Immokalee, walking, cycling and using transit is a necessity for many. The IAMP must guide and support the smart growth principles of creating a range of housing opportunities in compact, walkable neighborhoods near established commercial areas. In addition to the land use policies supporting transportation needs, the IAMP include several policies to: • support the MPO's Long Range Transportation improvements and the Walkability Plan; • continue coordination with FDOT projects; • identify incentives to bring private roads up to County standards; and • initiate a transportation planning study to identify potential new routes that will improve connectivity of the collector and local street grid, to expand public transit service, and improve bicycle and pedestrian access. Natural Resources The boundary of the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay (LT/CKSSO) was adopted as part of the 2007 GMP amendments. Subsequent analysis by staff during the previous restudy yielded a different, more accurate boundary of this wetland. The revised boundary is part of this IAMP amendment. Advisory Committee Review The proposed IAMP has been reviewed by the Growth Management Oversight Committee (GMOC), the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Advisory (CRA) Board and the Collier County Planning Commission. At its meeting on September 6, 2018, the GMOC found the IAMP recommendations consistent with public participation direction, supportive of sustainability and economic vitality and, so far as known, consistent with other restudy planning efforts. At its meeting on November 28, 2018, the Immokalee CRA Advisory Board agreed unanimously to recommend approval to transmit the proposed amendments, with two suggested changes. The suggested changes have been incorporated into the proposed IAMP. COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION (CCPC) RECOMMENDATION: The CCPC reviewed and discussed the proposed IAMP during three meetings, January 31, 2019, February 21, 2019, and March 7, 2019. By vote of 5-1, the CCPC recommended approval for transmittal of the GMP amendments subject to certain changes. In all cases, staff had no objection to the recommended changes, which are incorporated into the strikethrough/underline documents at hand. The specific CCPC recommended changes can be viewed in Attachment A, as revisions with double underline and double strikethrough. FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of the proposed GMPA process has been accounted for within the approved budget for the Zoning Division. The initiation of IAMP proposed studies or LDC amendments are anticipated to fall within current County staffing capacities and are expressed with flexibility to allow prioritization and coordination with other entities. GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) IMPACT: Approval of the proposed amendment by the Board for transmittal and its submission to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and other statutorily required review agencies will commence the Department's thirty (30) day review process and ultimately return the amendment to the CCPC and the Board for Adoption hearings tentatively to be held in Fall of 2019. M LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This Growth Management Plan amendment is authorized by, and subject to the procedures established in, Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, The Community Planning Act, and by Collier County Resolution No. 12-234, as amended. The Board should consider the following criteria in making its decision: "plan amendments shall be based on relevant and appropriate data and an analysis by the local government that may include but not be limited to, surveys, studies, community goals and vision, and other data available at the time of adoption of the plan amendment. To be based on data means to react to it in an appropriate way and to the extent necessary indicated by the data available on that particular subject at the time of adoption of the plan or plan amendment at issue." 163.3177(1)(f), FS. This item is approved as to form and legality. It requires a majority vote for approval because this is a transmittal hearing of the GMP amendment. [HFAC] RECOMMENDATION: To approve the proposed amendments to the IAMP for transmittal to DEO and other agencies for review. Prepared by: Anita Jenkins, AICP, Principle Planner Agenda Item 9.A.1 STAFF REPORT COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT, ZONING DIVISION, COMMUNITY PLANNING SECTION HEARING DATE: January 31, 2019 RE: PETITION PL20180002258/CPSP-2018-5, STAFF -PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE IMMOKALEE AREA MASTER PLAN OF THE COLLIER COUNTY GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN [TRANSMITTAL HEARING] INTRODUCTION The proposed Growth Management Plan (GMP) amendments found in Attachment A to this report (and Resolution, Exhibit A) are derived from years of public input and Plan refinements. These are presented to the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC), in its capacity as the County's Land Planning Agency under Florida Statutes and as the County's Environmental Advisory Council (EAC), for consideration at Transmittal stage public hearings. Staff requests the CCPC and EAC forward these amendments to the Board of County Commissioners (Board) with a recommendation to transmit to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO). BACKGROUND On February 10, 2015 the Board directed staff to initiate GMP "restudies" of four GMP master plans in eastern Collier County: Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (RFMUD), Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP), Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA), and Immokalee Area Master Plan (TAMP). The IAMP restudy formally began in January 2018. As with all restudies, through a public outreach effort, staff focused on complementary land uses, economic vitality, mobility and environmental sustainability. The Board appointed an ad hoc advisory committee, the Growth Management Oversight Committee (GMOC), which first convened in December 2015. The GMOC has directed the public engagement process of the restudies since inception. The GMOC reviews the restudy recommendations from a high level, non -granular perspective, emphasizing consistency among the restudies, sustainability and economic vitality. Unlike prior area restudies, however, the Board directed that staff, rather than appointed committees, provide recommendations to the Board covering each of the four areas. The White Paper, Attachment B, provides the summary of findings underlying the revisions to Goals, Objectives, Policies and Land Use Designation Descriptions within the TAMP. The White Paper was presented to the Board on June 26, 2018. At that time, the Board directed staff to initiate the GMP Amendment process for the proposed changes to the TAMP. — 1 — CPSP-2018-5 / PL20180002258 Staff Proposed Immokalee Area Master Plan Amendments Agenda Item 9.A.1 The Immokalee Urban area, surrounded by the rural agricultural area designated as the Rural Lands Stewardship Area, is a region of about 30 square miles containing ±17,116 acres of land; it is located in northeast Collier County, approximately 30 miles from the coastal urban area. More than half of the land use type within the Immokalee Urban area is presently agricultural. The remainder is a mixture of residential, commercial and industrial uses. Immokalee is accessed from the south and east by its major roadway, Immokalee Road (CR 846). State Road 29 provides access into the community from the northern counties of Lee and Hendry and to the southeast areas of Collier County (see below aerial map depicting the Immokalee Urban boundary). A Brief History: The Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) adopted the Immokalee Area Master Plan (TAMP) in 1991. The Master Plan, with the accompanying Immokalee Area Future Land Use Map, provides a framework for development of the Immokalee Community. The Board of County Commissioners adopted a revised IAMP in 1997, based upon the 1996 Evaluation and Appraisal Report (a State -mandated thorough review of the entire GMP). During 2003, the BCC authorized Comprehensive Planning staff to prepare recommendations for revising the 1997 TAMP. Subsequently, the Board authorized creation of an advisory committee, the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Committee (Restudy Committee), to work with staff in making proposed revisions to the TAMP. —2— CPSP-2018-5 / PL20180002258 Staff Proposed Immokalee Area Master Plan Amendments Agenda Item 9.A.1 The Restudy Committee, assisted by Comprehensive Planning staff, submitted recommendations to amend the IAMP in November 2003. However, during the performance of its tasks, the Committee determined that a longer, more intense restudy of the IAMP was necessary. Therefore, the IAMP Restudy Committee expressed a desire to extend the life of the Committee so that it could continue to assist the Board with the implementation the IAMP. The re-established Committee was renamed as the Immokalee Area Master Plan and Visioning Committee (IMPVC). The Committee worked for over a four-year period conducting public meetings, collecting and analyzing data, and drafting revisions to the IAMP. Hearings on the proposed amendments commenced in January 2010 with transmittal to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (predecessor to DEO) occurring in September 2010. Adoption hearings followed, beginning in January 2011. Through the adoption phase, the BCC directed the Collier County Supervisor of Elections to place a straw ballot referendum on the August 2012 ballot for the purpose of measuring the Immokalee community support for the proposed amendments. The referendum resulted in the majority of voters (67%) in favor of the amendments. At the BCC's final adoption hearing on the proposed amendments, one Commissioner abstained, and the final vote was 3-1 for approval (adoption). Because a minimum of four affirmative votes was required, the proposed IAMP amendments failed to be adopted. Through the current IAMP restudy process, staff and the Immokalee community honored the extensive work that had taken place in the previous amendment effort. The final IAMP document presented to the BCC was used as a starting point for further consideration. The community's work and additional refinement of their plan is reflected in Attachment A (and Resolution Exhibit A). Immokalee's Vision: Through the County's public outreach during the Immokalee Area Master Plan restudy process, it is clear that the residents of Immokalee see new possibilities for their community with the development of this Master Plan. With this new Master Plan, Immokalee has chosen to focus on opportunities rather than challenges. Immokalee is committed to redefining its future, revitalizing its community, and developing a new mission that focuses on strengthening and diversifying its economy, embracing cultural diversity, and welcoming visitors to "this place we call home." During the 2018 public workshop process, residents and business owners established a guiding community vision. It is the intent to implement this vision through the Goals, Objectives and Policies of this Master Plan. The community defined their vision as: `Ymmokalee is a family-oriented community that supports a healthy lifestyle. It is attractive, environmentally sustainable and offers a full range of housing, recreation and education opportunities to meet all residents' needs. Immokalee has a safe, well-connected network to walk and bicycle about town, as well as a roadway network needed to support the transport of goods and services. Business and job opportunities flourish in trade and distribution, agri- business, and ecotourism." Major Changes: In general, the amendments to the IAMP propose seven new goals, each with respective objectives and policies; followed by the revised Land Use Designation Description Section. The revised goals simplify but maintain the original intent of the existing adopted goals. During each public workshop, staff reviewed with the public the adopted and proposed goals to measure the continued support for the proposed goals. There was overwhelming consensus and a preference to move forward with the proposed goals. The Immokalee Area Master Plan has been developed to emphasize identified opportunities and strengths. The first goal specifically makes economic development a priority, and the —3— CPSP-2018-5 / PL20180002258 Staff Proposed Immokalee Area Master Plan Amendments Agenda Item 9.A.1 objectives and policies set forth specific ways to promote the local economy and create a positive business climate. The second goal focuses on quality neighborhoods for Immokalee. The objectives and policies set forth a process for the community to evaluate the needs and opportunities of each neighborhood. Future neighborhood improvements such as housing conditions, water management, transportation, lighting and play areas, are possibilities to elevate the quality of life for Immokalee residents. The third goal addresses infrastructure and public services. Partnering with the Immokalee CRA, a list of capital improvement projects will be presented to the Board of County Commissioners at their annual CRA workshop. The fourth goal addresses the significant natural resources within the Immokalee Urban Area and the desire to support and promote ecotourism opportunities. Land use is an integral component of any master plan. The fifth goal defines the land use designations applicable to Immokalee, as illustrated on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map. Mixed-use, pedestrian - scaled development is important, as is allowing development in appropriate locations, at densities and intensities that will attract new development. Urban form and design are addressed in the sixth goal. The objectives and policies are generally concerned with how to create a theme or brand for Immokalee, provide safe multi -modal transportation, and develop site design and development standards appropriate for Immokalee, rather than continuing to apply standards developed for coastal Collier. The seventh and last goal, is concerned with interlocal and intergovernmental coordination, to address current service issues and to continue collaboration with appropriate organizations in the future. Consistent with the Board's direction to evaluate and consider land use, economic vitality, transportation and natural resources, the following are some of the major changes proposed: Land Use and Economic Vitality • The re -designation of the lands within the boundary of the Immokalee Regional Airport from Industrial (ID) to Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict (APO). A re -designation of approximately 684 acres of residential lands proposed to support commercial or industrial development: o ±122 acres to allow commercial development. Intensity of development is proposed to remain as allowed in the existing TAMP: C-1 through C-4 uses, o ±362 acres to allow industrial mixed-use development, and o ±200 acres to allow Recreational Tourist development. • No changes in base density except for an increase in the Commercial Mixed -Use District (12 to 16 units per acre), and affordable housing bonus previously approved by the BCC (bonus increased from 8 to 12 units per acre maximum). • Allow new uses on properties zoned (A) Rural Agricultural, within the Low Residential Subdistrict, including agriculture research and development facilities, agribusiness offices and headquarters, and facilities, offices, headquarters and apparatuses associated with alternative energy uses. These new uses will be subject to Land Development Code Amendments to define compatibility criteria and development standards. —4— CPSP-2018-5 / PL20180002258 Staff Proposed Immokalee Area Master Plan Amendments Agenda Item 9.A.1 Table 1 below illustrates the proposed changes to FLUM designations.

In addition to these substantive land use changes, two specific opportunities were identified as important to the community to explore: 1) an Immokalee civic center, and 2) a satellite Emergency Operations Center to activate in the event of an emergency. Transportation • Collier County will initiate a transportation planning study with recommendations to identify potential routes to improve connectivity of the collector and local street grid, to expand public transit service, and bicycle and pedestrian access. In addition to the IAMP supporting the MPO's Long Range Transportation improvements for Immokalee, the IAMP also recognizes the need for local street improvements, and incentives to bring private roads up to County standards. Natural Resources • Re -configuration of the boundary of the Wetlands Connected To Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay (see attached Map 1). The boundary of the Wetlands Connected To Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay (LT/CKSSO) was adopted as part of the 2007 GMP amendments. As part of this change, policies were added to the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) to increase the native vegetation retention requirements. Subsequent analysis by staff yielded a different, more accurate boundary of this wetland. The revised boundary is part of this amendment petition. -5— CPSP-2018-5 / PL20180002258 Staff Proposed Immokalee Area Master Plan Amendments Agenda Item 9.A.1 GROWTH MANAGMENENT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE (GMOC) RECOMMENDATION At its meeting on September 6, 2018, the GMOC found the IAMP recommendations consistent with public participation direction, supportive of sustainability and economic vitality and, so far as known, consistent with other restudy planning efforts. IMMOKALEE CRA ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION At its meeting on November 28, 2018, the Immokalee CRA Advisory Board agreed unanimously to recommend approval to transmit the proposed amendments, with two suggested changes as underlined below: 1) Policy 2.1.1 — Within two (2) years ... to identify opportunities, including but not limited to, to improve neighborhood recreation... 2) Policy 3.3.4 — Recognizing that a significant segment... improve connectivity of collector and local street grid to public transit service, evacuation, and bicycle and pedestrian access. Staff agrees with the intent of the language additions; however, after discussing Policy 3.3.4 with Emergency Management staff, it was determined that the word "evacuation" has potential legal implications associated with hurricane evacuation that were not specifically intended. CRA Advisory Board members' discussion of the policy was more focused on the need for alternative routes in case of a car crash, fire, or other emergency in an area with limited access. Staff recommends replacing the word "evacuation" with "public safety." LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Board should consider the following criteria in making its decision: "plan amendments shall be based on relevant and appropriate data and an analysis by the local government that may include but not be limited to, surveys, studies, community goals and vision, and other data available at the time of adoption of the plan amendment. To be based on data means to react to it in an appropriate way and to the extent necessary indicated by the data available on that particular subject at the time of adoption of the plan or plan amendment at issue." 163.3177(1)(f), FS The County Attorney's office reviewed the staff report on .

INTRODUCTION 2 Immokalee has long been recognized as a distinct community within Collier County. 3 Immokalee's economy, geography, and demographic make-up are different than the rest of 4 Collier County. Approximately one-half of the land within the Immokalee Urban Area is presently 5 zoned and actively used for agriculture. The urban area is surrounded by productive crop lands 6 and environmentally significant habitat. Most Immokalee residents work within the agricultural 7 industry, and the majority of agricultural laborers originate from Mexico and Central America. 8 Statistics from the 2010 Census (the most comprehensive data for Immdkalee currently 9 available), comparing Immdkalee to the County as a whole, reflect some of the key socio - 10 economic differences, including age distribution, race and ethnicity, income, education and 11 housing. 12 The Immokalee Area Planning Comm' sion was formed in 1965, and Immokalee was governed 13 under separate Zoning and Subdivision Regulations until 1982. While it is now included under 14 the county -wide Land Development Code, in 1991 the County again acknowledged the need for 15 Immokalee-specific land use regulation with the adoption of the first Immokalee Area Master 16 Plan as an element in the County's overall comprehensive plan. 17 Collier County first established the Immokalee Area as a Planning Community in its 1983 18 Comprehensive Plan. In 1989, the County adopted revisions to the comprehensive plan, now 19 called the Growth Management Plan (GMP), which included a requirement to develop an area 20 master plan for Immokalee. In 1991, the County adopted the first Immokalee Area Master Plan 21 (TAMP), as referenced in Policy 4.3-2 of the Future Land Use Element: 22 23 A detailed Master Plan for the Immokalee Urban designated area has been developed and was 24 incorporated into this Growth Management Plan in February 1991. Major revisions were 25 adopted in 1997 following the 1996 Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The Immokalee Area 26 Master Plan addresses conservation, future land use, population, recreation, transportation, 27 housing, and the local economy. Major purposes of the Master Plan are coordination of land 28 uses and transportation planning, redevelopment or renewal of blighted areas, and the 29 promotion of economic development. 30 31 The IAMP is in addition to and supplements the goals, objectives, and policies, of the Collier 32 County Growth Management Plan. Due to the unique geographic, social, and economic 33 characteristics of the Immdkalee Urban Designated Area as compared with urban Naples, 34 Coastal Collier County, and the State of Florida as a whole, the Board of County 35 Commissioners deemed it necessary to restudy the Immokalee Urban Designated Area. On 36 May 27, 2003, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2003-192, which 37 established the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Committee as an ad hoc advisory 38 committee to the board. The Committee was to serve for a period of one year. On September 39 28, 2004, the Board adopted Ordinance 2004-62, extending the timeframe for the advisory 40 committee and renaming it the Immokalee Master Plan and Visioning Committee (IMPVC). On 41 November 13, 2007, the Board adopted Ordinance 2007-69, which extended the timeframe 42 again, providing for dissolution of the corn m ttee no later than December 31, 2009. The purpose 1 Words underlined are added; words FtF Gk thre gh are deleted 1 and duties of the Committee remain the same: 2 3 A. Assist in the development of any necessary Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for consulting 4 services. 5 B. Assist County staff with the review of general planning matters related to the Immokalee 6 Community. These could include housing, zoning, economic and/or other issues as may be 7 brought before the Committee. 8 C. Identify and provide the Board of County Commissioners the Committee recommendations 9 relative to: 10 1. road improvements; 11 2. economic incentives; 12 3. increasing the quality and quantity of affordable housing; 13 4. land uses and improvements relative to the Immokalee Regional Airport; 14 5. density increases in mixed-use districts; 15 6. restructuring of future land use designations and designation boundaries within the 16 Immokalee community; 17 7. the facilitation of construction of commercial development in commercial districts; 18 8. the preparation of revisions to current zoning districts and the development of associated 19 LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as amended) standards; and 20 9. the review of the 5 -year Schedule of Capital Improvements relative to the Immokalee 21 community. 22 D. Assist in the development of revised goals, objectives, and policies, and land use 23 designation descriptions for the Immokalee Area Master Plan. 24 E. Assist in the review and updating of the Immokalee Area Master Plan in order to establish 25 consistency between the Master Plan and the County Rural Lands Stewardship Area 26 Overlay provisions. 27 28 The IMPVC worked steadily towards achieving these goals. However, by 2012 tThe adoption of 29 the revised IAMP and revised Immokalee Master Plan Future Land Use Map remained out of 30 reach and no amendments were made to the TAMP. represents the first step in nnmr.leti +ho 31 32 33 an update te the Capital ImpreverneRtS Plan, and the Greatien ef a leng term transportation plan, 34 35 In 2015, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to update four area master plans 36 including the Immokalee Area Master Plan. Staff then engaged the Immokalee community in a 37 review of the significant work accomplished during the previous restudy. The amendments to 38 the IAMP found herein are a result of the Immokalee residents and business owners continued 39 focus and effort to improve the land use policies that will regulate growth in their community. 2 Words underlined are added; words E+r, �^k-+hre ^h are deleted 1 An integral component of Immokalee's future is the Collier County Community Redevelopment 2 Agency (CRA). Established in 2000 by the Board of County Commissioners, the Agency's 3 mission is to eliminate blighted conditions as identified under Chapter 163, Part 3 of the Florida 4 Statutes. The Board of County Commissioners is the ex -officio board of the CRA. In 2000, the 5 BCC adopted the Collier County Community Redevelopment Plan that included two 6 redevelopment areas: Bays hore/G ateway Triangle and Immokalee. 7 8 In 2000, the Immokalee CRA Local Redevelopment Advisory Board was created and members 9 from the community were appointed to provide recommendations to the CRA to implement the 10 redevelopment plan and the allocation of tax increment revenues generated by increased 11 property values. Over the years, the Immokalee CRA Local Advisory Board has served as a 12 vehicle to brina forward communitv needs and interests. 13 14 For the purposes of this Plan, the Immokalee CRA is defined to reference the Immokalee 15 component of the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency. 16 17 18 II. NEW DIRECTIONS 19 Through the County's public outreach during the Immoalee Area Master Plan restudy process, it 20 is clear that Tthe residents of Immokalee see new possibilities for their community with the 21 development of this Master Plan. With the development of this new Master Plan, Immokalee has 22 chosen to focus on opportunities rather than challenges. Immokalee is committed to redefining 23 its future, revitalizing its community, and developing a new mission that focuses on 24 strengthening and diversifying its economy, embracing cultural diversity, and welcoming visitors 25 to "this place we call home." 26 During the 2018 public workshop process, residents and business owners established a guiding 27 community vision. It is the intent to implement this vision through the Goals, Objectives and 28 Policies of this Master Plan. The community defined their vision as: 29 `Immokalee is a family-oriented community that supports a healthy lifestyle. It is 30 attractive, environmentally sustainable and offers a full range of housing, recreation and 31 education opportunities to meet all residents' needs. Immokalee has a safe, well - 32 connected network to walk and bicycle about town, as well as a roadway network 33 needed to support the transport of goods and services. Business and iob opportunities 34 flourish in trade and distribution, agri-business, and ecotourism." 35 Economic opportunity lies in Immokalee's diverse community. Many residents have roots in 36 Mexico, Central America, Haiti, and various other Caribbean nations. This multicultural heritage 37 should be embraced and used to develop a local marketing strategy. This diversity should guide 38 the redevelopment and design of downtown in order to create a distinct area that will attract new 39 business and visitors. Revitalization of the Main Street commercial corridor will be designed to 40 embrace this cultural diversity; take advantage of the traffic generated by the Immokalee 41 Seminole Casino Hotel and the growing Stewardship Receiving Areas, including the Town of 3 Words underlined are added; words E;tF Gk thre gh are deleted 1 Ave Maria; and create new public plazas and gathering spaces. These public plazas and 2 spaces will be designed within an appropriate streetscape to foster walkability and a mixture of 3 uses, including entertainment and cultural events, and will position Immokalee to attract new 4 residents and visitors to the downtown area. 5 The diversity of Immokalee extends to its unique natural surroundings, which can also be a 6 great benefit to the local economy. Lake Trafford, at Immokalee's western boundary, as well as 7 other adjacent vast natural areas, which include historic working ranches, provide an excellent 8 opportunity to market Immokalee as an ecotourist destination. Immokalee provides a gateway to 9 the Everglades, a world-renowned ecotourist destination. Ecotourists come to an area to 10 experience the natural, rather than the built, environment. Lake Trafford and its environs offer 11 opportunities for boating, fishing, camping, and hiking, and the chance to experience natural 12 Florida and this freshwater frontier. 13 Agriculture continues to be the major local industry and Immokalee residents recognize 14 emerging opportunities for new agricultural -related businesses. Increasing fuel costs, 15 apprehension related to food security, and environmental concerns have increased the demand 16 for safe, sustainable, and domestically produced foods and energy sources. Immokalee has an 17 opportunity to create a new farmers' market or expand the existing state farmers' market to 18 serve the regional demand for fresh produce. 19 Additionally, residents see opportunities emerging from the regional economy and the strategic 20 location of Immokalee in the region. Immokalee will not remain isolated in the future. One state 21 arterial (SR 29) runs through the downtown, while another ends just three miles north of 22 downtown (SR 82). A major county road (CR 846, Immokalee Road), connects Immokalee to I - 23 75. Planned capacity improvements to SR 82 and SR 29 will open up the area to more travel, 24 and planned roadway expansions, including a SR 29 Loop, will further improve the accessibility 25 to and from Immokalee, helping it to become a tourist destination and a distribution center for 26 goods and services. 27 Improvements to the roadway system, both regionally and within the Immokalee Urban Area, 28 are just one part of how the overall transportation network will improve On impact the future. The 29 Immokalee Regional Airport (IMM) is designated as an official U.S. Port of Entry, with its own 30 full-service Customs Office, supporting both international and domestic trade opportunities, and 31 is a growing cargo service airport. Incentives to encourage economic development at the IMM 32 include Tthe Florida Tradeport which operates within a Foreign Trade Zone (#213), State 33 €Rterpr+se-ZeRe, Federal Enterprise Gernmwand the Historically Underutilized Business 34 �HUBeb) Zone. ftIMM provides direct access to over 2,000 acres of industrial -zoned property 35 and two paved 5,000 x 150= -foot runways equipped for Global Position Satellite (GPS) and 36 instrument approaches. 37 The opportunities available through development of the Tradeport are particularly significant 38 given that in 2012 the Collier County Office of Business and Economic Development (OBED) 39 Cnnnnmin Deye'GpMen+ GGURGil Of GE)"ieF GGURty (EDG) estimated& the County will need an 40 additional 3,685 acres of new business park lands by 2030. The OBED€9C has been working 4 Words underlined are added; words E;tF Gk thre gh are deleted 1 to attract research clusters to Collier County to diversify the economy, which is currently highly 2 dependent on only three industries: agriculture, construction, and tourism and services. The 3 three targeted industry clusters are: health and life science; computer software and services; 4 and distribution. Given its location, access to major roads, connectivity with other parts of the 5 state, availability of developable land, and the airport, Immokalee is a prime location for the new 6 distribution industry that the OBED€DG has identified as being vital to the growth and 7 diversification of Collier County's economy. 8 Another potential for economic growth lies in anticipated development in areas surrounding 9 Immokalee. As new towns in eastern Collier County develop, needed government services and 10 departments could be centrally located in Immokalee to serve the eastern portion of the 11 County. 12 13 III. IMMOKALEE AREA MASTER PLAN PRIORITIES 14 The Immokalee Area Master Plan has been developed to emphasize these identified 15 opportunities and strengths. The first goal requires the developmeRt of aR Immekalee speGifti 16 prieritized lost Of Gapital improvements and other aGtivities desired to be fuRded eaGh year. 17 , 18 specifically makes economic development a priority, and the objectives and policies set forth 19 specific ways to promote and diversify the local economy and create a positive business 20 climate. 21 The second third goal, and itsebJectiveand panes —deal with focuses on quality 22 neighborhoods.

This provision is intended to encourage unified plans of development and to preserve 28 the high-quality wetlands, wildlife habitat, and other natural features that exist within 29 areas of the Immokalee Urban Area, which are proximate to Lake Trafford and Camp 30 Keais Strand. In the case of properties which are contiguous to Lake Trafford or Camp 31 Keais Strand, which straddle the Immokalee Urban Area and the Rural Lands 32 Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA) as depicted on the countywide Future Land Use Map, 33 and which were in existence and under unified control as of October 22, 2002, the 34 allowable gross density and/or intensity may be shifted from the Urban designated lands 29 Words underlined are added; words Etr, �^k-thre gh are deleted 1 to lands within the RLSA which are contiguous and under unified control, and which are 2 designated as a Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA) in the RLSA. The density and/or 3 intensity may be shifted on an acre per acre basis. This Density and Intensity Blending 4 provision is further subject to the following conditions and limitations: 5 6 1. The project in aggregate must be a minimum of 200 acres in size and the Urban 7 portion must be designated Recreational/Tourist Subdistrict (RT) or Low Residential 8 sSubdistrict (LR) in the Immokalee Area Master Plan; 9 10 2. It must be demonstrated the lands designated Urban have a high natural resource 11 value as indicated by the presence of Group 1 or Group 2 FLUCCS Codes and a 12 score of greater than 1.2 (both as identified on the Stewardship Credit Worksheet in 13 the RLSAJ; 14 15 3. Density and intensity may only be shifted from lands within the Immokalee Urban 16 Area containing this high natural resource value (as measured above) to the lands 17 within a contiguous SRA, on an acre per acre basis, providing such lands were 18 under unified control as of October 22, 2002; and 19 20 4. Lands within the Urban area, from which the density and/or intensity has been 21 shifted, shall be placed in a conservation easement in perpetuity. 22 b. For properties containing two or more Future Land Use Subdistricts, the overall density 23 and/or intensity that could be achieved in aggregate, may be distributed throughout the 24 project, provided the total allowable density and/or intensity is not exceeded, and further 25 subject to the following: 26 27 1. The project furthers the protection, enhancement or restoration of wetlands, listed 28 species habitat, or other natural features,; 29 30 2.

OVERLAYS AND FEATURES 34 1. Wetlands ds ConneGted *^ Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay 35 The Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the GMP, Policy 6.2.4(4), 36 identifies possible high-quality wetland systems connected to the Lake Trafford/Camp 37 Keais Strand system within the Immokalee Urban Area. These wetlands require greater 38 protection measures than wetlands located in other portions of the Immokalee Urban 39 Designated Area.,- nd therefore the wetland proteGtion standards set Perthice„-PeliGy 40 6.2.5 ethe r('�TIbe revised as part of the next available GFevPhh Managernont 41 42 based , �p eR a dditieRal eGelegiGal plata and aRaiysis These wetlands are identified on 32 Words underlined are added; words ctr„^I,_thre nh are deleted 1 the Immokalee Future Land Use Map by the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System 2 Overlay (LT/CKSSO). 3 4 The Density and Intensity Blending provisions of this Master Plan may be utilized for 5 lands within this LT/CKSSO. The maximum allowable gross density for lands within the 6 LT/CKSSO is the base density established for the applicable Subdistrict. Lands within 7 the LT/CKSSO are not eligible for any density bonuses, including by right. Essential 8 Services shall be limited to: those necessary to ensure public safety; and; those 9 necessary to serve permitted uses, such as private wells and septic tanks, utility lines, lift 10 stations, and water pumping stations. 11 12 The additional wetland protection measures do not apply to properties within the 13 LT/CKSSO that have been legally cleared of native vegetation as of the adoption of this 14 Master Plan, but do apply to all new development and redevelopment pursuant to the 15 applicable nonconforming provisions set forth in the LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as 16 amended). 17 18 If development on the Seminole Reservation functionally severs the connectivity of the 19 wetland system for properties within the LT/CKSSO, east of the Reservation, the 20 additional wetland protection measures will not be applied to those severed eastern 21 wetlands. The standard measures for wetlands in Urban designated lands shall be 22 applied, as described in the CCME, to those severed eastern wetlands. 23 24 2. Seminole Reservation (SR) Feature 25 The Seminole Reservation within Immokalee comprises approximately 600 acres of 26 largely undeveloped land owned by the Seminole Tribal Council and located on the east 27 side of First Street, South of (SR 29). The Seminole Reservation is not controlled or 28 regulated by the Collier County Growth Management Plan or LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as 29 amended) and is identified on the Future Land Use Map for illustrative purposes only. 30 31 3. Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area Feature 32 In order for local governments to designate a geographic area within its jurisdiction as an 33 Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area pursuant to Section 163.2517 (4), Florida Statutes, 34 it must amend its comprehensive land use plan to delineate the boundaries within the 35 Future Land Use Element. The Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area is consistent with 36 criteria outlined in Section 163.2514(2) (a) -(e), Florida Statutes. The intent of this 37 delineation is to comprehensively address the urban problems within the area consistent 38 with the goals of this plan. The Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area was adopted by 39 Ordinance 2000-66 and the Urban Infill and Redevelopment Plan was adopted by 40 Ordinance 2000-71. 41 42 4.

The IAMP is a separate element within the County's Comprehensive Plan. This framework serves as a vehicle to further vet and inform staff, community leaders and the public in advance of the specific language that will be incorporated into the transmittal documents for Growth Management Plan amendment, and the public hearing process. The IAMP is the third of four restudies focused on eastern Collier County, as directed by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on February 10, 2015. Focus areas of all four restudies include complementary land uses and economic vitality, including housing affordability, transportation and mobility, and environmental stewardship. The Community Planning staff in the Zoning Division of the Growth Management Department provide this document to describe the history and status the IAMP (Section 2), the planning process, outreach, data and analysis (Section 3) and the list of Initial recommendations (Section 4). Appendix A includes the full documentation of the public outreach process and results. The basic structure of the current IAMP is divided into two main parts: The Goals, Objectives and Policies (GOPs) section and the Land Use Designation Description section. The former section sets forth vision, values, requirements and aspirations; the latter describes specific subdistricts and their land uses within the IAMP. Both sections guide the Code of Ordinances and Land Development Code in enactment and updated amendments. 2 Section 2: Background History of the Immokalee Area Master Plan When Collier County was formed in 1923, the only non -coastal settlement in Collier County was located in the Immokalee and Corkscrew areas. Today, Immokalee is the only community of considerable size in interior Collier County. Immokalee was first settled by the Seminole Indians, who used the land as a camping and resting place. Hunters, cattlemen, and Indian traders were the next inhabitants of Immokalee. They found their way to Immokalee around the middle of the 191h century. No permanent settlers appeared in Immokalee until 1872. Immokalee has been known by several different names, changing with its varied settlers. The Seminoles gave Immokalee the name —Gopher Ridge because of the unusual number of land turtles and gophers in the area. Immokalee was also known at one time as —Allen Place after William Allen, one of the first settlers. The Community received its current name, Immokalee, meaning my home, in October 1897 with the naming of the first post office. The name was suggested by Bishop William Crane Gray, who argued that the name should be a Seminole word with pleasant associations. The population in Immokalee continued to grow, and the first school and church opened not long after the establishment of the post office. Immokalee possessed all the elements of a flourishing community, but was relatively isolated until 1921, when the Atlantic Coast Line Railway Company (ACL) expanded its lines south from LaBelle and broke the isolation. Before the railroad was extended to Immokalee, trips were made by waterway or by sand trails, which were terrible for traveling during the wet season. When Collier County was created in 1923, the transportation situation for the 74 citizens of Immokalee did not immediately improve. In fact, in order to reach the County seat at Everglades (now known as Everglades City), the residents of Immokalee had to first go to the County seat of Lee County, Fort Myers, and then by boat to Everglades City, or they could drive south along poor road conditions to Marco Island and continue from Caxambas by boat. Barron Collier and his associates were aware of the importance of opening a direct route from Immokalee to Everglades City. They made a strenuous effort to open a North-South road and to induce the ACL to extend its lines to Everglades City. Efforts continued for the building of a roadway into Immokalee, but the transportation problem was not resolved until Immokalee Road (CR -846) was rebuilt and resurfaced a second time in 1955-56. With such a major improvement in the transportation system, Immokalee became a thriving center for ranching, farming, and lumbering. 3 The Immokalee community, with the improvements in transportation and its increasing popularity as an agricultural community, began to witness an influx of residents to the area. With such growth came the need for regulations to manage the activities occurring in the area. The Board of County Commissioners established an Immokalee Area Planning Commission (IAMPC) in October of 1965. The Community had its own Zoning and Subdivision Regulations, separate from the coastal area of Collier County. The Immokalee Area was governed under its own Zoning Ordinance until January 1982, when a unified Zoning Ordinance was adopted for the entire unincorporated Collier County. The duties of the IAMPC continued until September 1985 when the Collier Planning Commission was established with representatives from all areas within Collier County. Today, there is one representatives from County Commission District 5, which includes Immokalee, however the District 5 representative is from Golden Gate Estates, so there is not a representative from Immokalee serving on the Collier County Planning Commission. History of Planning Efforts in Immokalee Immokalee has long been recognized as a distinct community within Collier County due to its unique geographic, social, and economic characteristics. This distinction led to the establishment of the Immokalee Area Planning Commission in 1965 and separate zoning and subdivision regulations, which were in effect through 1982. While Immokalee is now regulated through the county -wide Land Development Code, Collier County reaffirmed the distinctive nature of Immokalee by designating it as a distinct Planning Community in the 1983 Comprehensive Plan. In 1989, Collier County adopted revisions to the comprehensive plan, and recommended that an area master plan for Immokalee be developed. This was completed in 1991 with the establishment of the Immokalee Area Master Plan (TAMP) as a separate element of the GMP. The IAMP supplements the county -wide goals, objectives, and policies of the Collier County GMP by providing Immokalee-specific provisions. On March 14, 2000, the Collier County Commission made a finding of conditions of blight for Immokalee through Resolution 2000-82, allowing for the establishment of the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). The purpose of the CRA is not to create policy, as found within the GMP and IAMP, but rather to encourage economic and social improvement in the urban areas of Immokalee. To accomplish this, the CRA prepared the 2000 Immokalee Community Redevelopment Plan, which addresses the unique needs and overall goals for redevelopment of Immokalee, and identifies the types of projects planned for the area. By statute, the Redevelopment Plan is required to conform to the GMP. The Board of County Commissioners found it necessary to restudy the Immokalee Urban Designated Area after designating the CRA. On May 27, 2003, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2003-192, thereby establishing the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Committee as an ad hoc advisory committee to the Board. On September 28, 2004, the Board adopted Ordinance 2004-62, extending the timeframe for the advisory committee and renaming it the Immokalee 4 Master Plan and Visioning Committee (IMPVC). Over a six-year period, the IMPVC and consultant conducted extensive public outreach, collected and analyzed data, drafted recommended amendments to the TAMP, and proceeded through the Growth Management Plan amendment hearing process, with an additional step of a community referendum to measure support. Despite this extensive effort, and a favorable referendum result, the proposed amendments did not achieve the necessary super majority vote by the Board of County Commissioners for adoption. The current IAMP restudy has refocused the Immokalee community on the extensive time and effort spent on the previous IMPVC work. Staff has engaged the Immokalee CRA advisory board, the MSTU advisory board, the Immokalee Chamber of Commerce, all Collier County Departments, and Immokalee residents and business owners, to review and update the proposed TAMP. Current Conditions The Immokalee urban boundary encompasses approximately 17,092 acres. As of 2017, most of this acreage, approximately 10,000 acres, remains vacant or in agriculture production, as shown on Figure 1. Figure 1. Immokalee Vacant and Developed Properties CXC. IMMOKALEE AREA VACANT PARCELS 5 The population projection for 2017 was approximately 25,000 persons and through 2030 the permanent population estimate is expected to grow to just over 26,000 persons. Immokalee has a unique demographic; different than what is typically found in Collier County. According to census data, the median age of its residents is 28, compared to 47 county -wide. The majority (75.6%) of the Immokalee population is Hispanic. In Immokalee, the median worker income is approximately $16,000, well below the County median of $66,000. Typical work commute times differ, 51% of work commutes are under 25 minutes, 18.2% commute 25-45 minutes, and 30.8% have a commute greater than 45 minutes. 0 Section 3: Public Outreach, Data and Analysis The Immokalee restudy public participation process included extensive engagement through meetings at the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board, Immokalee MSTU Advisory Board, Immokalee Chamber of Commerce and six advertised public workshops. Public workshops were announced and advertised in English, Creole and Spanish. Appendix A includes the public workshop summaries. The public workshops kicked -off with a visioning process. The intent was to clarify the community values and to ensure the IAMP reflects and addresses these values. The community - defined vision statement should provide guidance for implementing planning goals, objectives and policies. The vision statement established by Immokalee residents and business owners is: "Immokalee is a family-oriented community that supports a healthy lifestyle. It is attractive, environmentally sustainable and offers a full range of housing, recreation and education opportunities to meet all residents' needs. Immokalee has a safe, well-connected network to walk and bicycle about town, as well as a roadway network needed to support the transport of goods and services. Business and job opportunities flourish in trade and distribution, agri-business, and ecotourism." This vision statement reflects the need for the County to adopt land use and transportation policies that supports a healthy, family environment, a multi -modal transportation network, and economic development and redevelopment. 7 Land Use and Economic Vitality Within currently adopted Immokalee Area Master Plan there are numerous future land use designations ranging from low density residential use to industrial use. The previous restudy effort simplified land use designations with focus on combining multiple commercial designations into one Commercial -Mixed Use designation. In addition, the Industrial land use designations were modified to more accurately delineate the locations of the airport, industrial, and industrial mixed-use designation. The majority of the residential designations remain the same with the exception of the "mixed residential" changing to "medium residential." Some boundaries of these designation were modified to better address compatibility between residential densities and abutting commercial designations. In support of the community's desire to promote eco -tourism, the Recreational Tourist land use designation at the north end of Lake Trafford was expanded farther south, abutting the lake. The densities associated with each residential land use are adequate and no further changes to density are proposed. A comparison of the land use designation changes is found in Table 1. These changes are visually represented on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map (Figure 2) and the Proposed Immokalee Future Land Use Map (Figure 3).

While housing is an important factor in any Master Plan, housing can be viewed as one component of the broader view of the neighborhood. During the beginning of the public outreach for this restudy, it became clear the Immokalee community has a desire to think beyond the conditions of Immokalee housing and to begin by identifying neighborhoods, and work towards planning for complete neighborhoods. To this end, the Immokalee community has drafted Figure 4 the Immokalee Neighborhood Map. Figure 4. Draft Immokalee Neighborhoods Map Immokalee Neighborhood Map The intent of identifying neighborhoods and preparing policies for neighborhoods is in part to implement a portion of the Immokalee vision statement that focuses on Immokalee as "a healthy, family-oriented community." With policies focusing on the neighborhood, an evaluation of each neighborhood can determine needs, such as places for families to play within their neighborhood, sidewalks, lighting, stormwater management and waste management. Once needs are determined, projects can be evaluated to determine if multiple neighborhood objectives, such as 10 co -locating a sidewalk with a stormwater management project, can be efficiently and effectively achieved. Land Use Policies Recommendations The land use goals, objectives and policies (GOPs) derived during the previous restudy were reviewed and compared to the currently adopted policies. Staff and the Immokalee community found the intent of the GOPs were very similar, but the previous restudy effort simplified and made the language more concise. This more concise language is preferred. • Re -designation of the lands within the boundary of the Immokalee Regional Airport from Industrial (ID) to Immokalee RegionalAirport Subdistrict (APO). • Revisions to the land use designations inthe IAMP FLUM include: o An increase of+200 acres of Recreational Tourist (RT) designated lands. o A five percent reduction of residential designated lands. This change of over +636 acres of residential designated lands are proposed to be re -designated to allow commercial and industrial development, as well as uses that are allowed underthe RTdesignation. o An increase of +462 acres of industrial designated lands. This increase includes the re- designation from Industrial (1) to Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict (APO) of 1,381 acres of land that is part of the Immokalee Regional Airport within the Immokalee urban boundary. 11 Transportation and Mobility Immokalee is historically an agriculutre town with need to support freight traffic. Challenges have occurred where large trucks and pedestrian traffic is heavy, and using the same corridors, particularly along Main Street. Immokalee has a fairly, well-connected roadway network as can be seen on the Figure 5 aerial view. However, there are some local street interconnections needed to better enhance transit service and pedestrian and bicycle access. Figure 5. Immokalee's Roadway Network Aerial View Figure 6, the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan Needs Assessment identifies several needed roadway improvements along major corridors such as SR 29, SR 82 and the planned "by-pass corridor" which is intended to provide freight traffic an alternate route off Main Street. 12 Figure 6. 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan Needs Assessment Figure 4-71 Needs Assessment Norah Q1 Naples 3 i 957 y. _ �grds`` i olds Gate Naples..—. 1 �1114 1 Municipal Airport I Lely LSEE INSET_ _ _ _ _ Rookery Bay (I, i"NNI - Marca Island Immokafee Regional Airport 1291 Fakahat�hee Strand Stale Preserve -R` M _ C�S[a Parts I 5tudy Area f Marco II LLL O:F Island mexlco ( Interchange Improvement Island �..

SEE INSET • Support all transportation needs within lmmokalee with an emphasis on freight movement and walkability. Walkability will be improved through the ongoing implementation of the recommendations of the MPO's Walkability Study. • Plan for new collector roads and interconnecting local streets to enhance transit, walking and cycling. • Coordinate with FDOT on state roadway projects. 14 Environmental Stewardship Within the Immokalee there is a significant wetland system connected to Lake Trafford and Camp Keais Strand system. The primary concern for potential environmental degradation in Immokalee is associated with the water quality as discharged into this wetland system and ultimately Lake Trafford. The proposed Future Land Use Map updates the wetland delineation, referred to Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overly (LT/CKSSO). The revised area encompasses approximately 1,492 acres. This wetland system can easily be identified running east of Lake Trafford, and south of the developed urban as shown in Figure 8. The proposed IAMP address the protection of natural resources through specific development standards and incentives. Figure 8. Immokalee Wetland System Environmental Policies Recommendations Recommended Policy • Re -configuration of the wetland boundary that connects to Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay. • Incentivize the movement of development rights from the wetland system. • Amend the Land Development Code to establish best management practices to minimize adverse impacts to Lake Trafford. 15 Section 4: List of Initial Recommendations Land Use Policies Recommendations • Re -designation of the lands within the boundary of the Immokalee Regional Airport from Industrial (ID) to Immokalee RegionalAirport Subdistrict (APO). • Revisions to the land use designations in the IAMP FLUM include: o An increase of +200 acres of Recreational Tourist (RT) designated lands. o A five percent reduction of residential designated lands.

Residents and stakeholders were encouraged to provide input through multiple platforms including meetings with the Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board, MSTU advisory board, Chamber of Commerce and six public workshops. The public workshops began with the establishment of the community's vision statement. Staff obtained an outdate draft vision statement and presented it to the community for their evaluation and suggested edits. Following several iterations, the community embraced the following vision. Immokalee Vision Statement "Immokalee is a family-oriented community that supports a healthy lifestyle. It is attractive, environmentally sustainable and offers a full range of housing, recreation and education opportunities to meet all residents' needs. Immokalee has a safe, well-connected network to walk and bicycle about town, as well as a roadway network needed to support the transport of goods and services. Business and job opportunities flourish in trade and distribution, agri-business, and ecotourism." 18 Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Public Workshop #1 Summary February 15th, 2018 — CareerSource 750 South 5th St. (8:30 a.m. —10:30 a.m.) The first public workshop for the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy was held on February 15th, 2018 at CareerSource. The meeting began approximately 8:45 a.m. The majority of the attendees were Collier County and Immokalee CRA officials and staff. Three members of the public attended. Anita Jenkins, Collier County Principal Planner gave a brief history of the development of Immokalee and described the previous attempts of collecting data and applying master plan changes from 2003 to 2012. She asked audience members about the previous planning process, and one audience member noted that the previous members of the County Commission were not on the same page as the residents. She discussed the existing and proposed master plan goals that will be the subject of a roundtable discussion. She then described the next steps of the Restudy process. Lastly, she explained the Rural Land Stewardship Area (RLSA) Restudy and Kris Van Lengen, Community Planning Manager at Collier County, invited anyone interested to be involved. An Immokalee resident raised a concern about this master plan process working simultaneously with ongoing transportation planning, airport master planning, and parks and recreation master plans. Another resident reiterated that there is a concern over a lack of coordination and communication between these different master plans. This concern led to a discussion of the new "loop road" which is outside of the scope of the future land use map beyond ensuring that the policies written do not forbid its creation, such as restricting four lane roads. Anita then focused on the vision statement, master plan goals, and various maps to discuss future land use and neighborhoods for roundtable discussion. The vision statement was derived from a previous CRA vision, and the audience agreed to include the term "family-oriented." Residents also discussed the priority of making the community more walkable because it's a necessity. This lead to a conversation of the general consensus on a need for a civic center or some type of public use facility. Anita then discussed proposed goals, referring to handouts. Residents commented on affordable housing. They said Habitat for Humanity homes are not options for workforce or moderate income level housing, therefore there needs to be more workforce housing and a variety of housing stock. There was discussion about the limited amount of land in Immokalee for development of housing, other than that land which is owned by a few large companies. Residents emphasized the need to have coordination with these companies, urging their presence at these workshops. Anita provided guidance about potential incentive -driven policies. Anita also asked that if anyone would require additional data and analysis for pursuing grants to please provide this feedback along with policy suggestions. 19 Despite sitting in a small group, subgroups broke out to discuss the maps depicting Future Land Use, aerial views and sidewalks. There was agreement to create a sidewalk master plan that includes sidewalks on all roads in Immokalee and a priority list for implementation. 20 Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Public Workshop #2 Summary February 15, 2018 — Revelation Church (5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.) The second public input meeting for the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy was held on February 15, 2018 at Revelation Church. The meeting began at approximately 5:30 p.m. Ten people attended the meeting, four were County officials and staff and six were members of the public. See attached for sign in sheet. Anita Jenkins, Principal Planner with Collier County Growth Management Department, began the evening with a presentation summarizing the Immokalee Master Plan background and purpose. Anita summarized portions of existing uses and future land use and zoning. Anita emphasized the intent of the Master Plan is a top-level view of land use designations that directs goals and visions. Additionally, she emphasized that zoning controls development standards, setbacks, etc. She highlighted the meeting schedule for the next public meetings and outlined the next steps for having the Master Plan transmitted and adopted. Anita started discussion by asking the audience "What happened in the 2008-2012 Master Plan Update study that you wanted, but didn't happen?" Feedback and several concerns were provided regarding infrastructure, housing, funding and natural resource protection as summarized below. Infrastructure • Need for improved roadways • Immokalee needs a hospital and/or urgent care Housing • Inability to easily move, upgrade or replace mobile homes due to current development standards in the Land Development Code (LDC) • Ability to support density blending Funding hi6 %7�1.� • Concern for losing funding in the future • Desire to capture funding for Immokalee specifically versus the majority of funding directed towards Ave Maria Natural Resources 21 • Allow density blending to encourage protection of natural resources, specifically the slough and other wetlands • TDR programs are too expensive to buy/manage credits Other Comments • Show surrounding land uses on the Master Plan Map, including RSLA lands • Restrictive and overly detailed language in the Growth Management Plan is more appropriate for the LDC The next portion of the meeting was focused on revising the Immokalee Draft Vision Statement. An audience member asked, "What does Immokalee stand for?" and the audience responded, "My Home." It was suggested to somehow include "My Home" in the vision statement. Other comments related to vision statement revisions included shortening the vision statement, replacing agri- tourisim and ecotourism with just tourism, and a preference to keep ecotourism separate to reflect the amount of farms and ranches in Immokalee. The terms affordable and workforce housing project a negative connotation. The audience did acknowledge the need and current land use for affordable and workforce housing, but also desire moderate and luxury housing. The audience proposed several solutions including attention to affordable housing, diversified housing, or housing accessible to all. While discussing housing visions, it was mentioned that Hendry County has no impact fees. It was suggested to create policy and incentives for developers to bring specific (higher end) housing and businesses to Immokalee. Several audience members commented throughout the workshop about expanding the airport area to bring more business and inquired on how to collect funding opportunities from potential airport growth or expansion. The audience expressed concern that Immokalee wants to be a part of the County, but they are different. The difficulties stem from wanting a fair share of funding, being subject to County policies and standards, and wanting to maintain the current community culture. The conversation then shifted to the community strengths which includes a vibrant main street with appealing restaurants. However, it was acknowledged owners of older properties are resistant to change, improvement or demolition of their structures. The conversation shifted towards the less favorable conditions of many homes and abandoned businesses. Community education to encourage home improvement was suggested. Anita refocused the group to discuss the currently adopted and proposed goals. The group agreed that the proposed goals were preferred to the adopted goals and chose to discuss only the proposed goals going forward. Adopted GOAL 1 (proposed GOAL 6) was moved to be and objective so was not discussed. 22 Adopted GOAL 2 (proposed GOAL 3) was discussed first. It was suggested that the term sanitary be removed. Everyone wants sanitary housing and using the term in a goal suggests that current standards are not sanitary which subsequently discourages businesses to locate to Immokalee. The Slough, Lake Trafford and other named natural resources should be specifically identified in proposed GOAL 5 (adopted GOAL 3) or in the associated policies. A heavy emphasis was then placed on the need for parks and public facilities. Some of the audience felt strongly about Immokalee's park deficiency and lack of sidewalks, bike paths, wide roads, or transit for kids to access the limited park locations. Other audience members disagreed with the lack of public parks. Discussion continued on the parks topic including Immokalee's award-winning soccer team, lack of public facilities at soccer fields, kids playing half field due to lack of parks, and the inability to host tournaments due to lack of public restrooms at the fields. Adopted GOAL 6 (proposed GOAL 2) focused on the economy. The group again expressed desire to improve the airport and collect funding from the airport. Proposed GOAL 1, GOAL 7 and GOAL 8 were widely accepted among the group. The group was in favor of continuing to implement the Immokalee Community Plan. One audience member suggested a policy for safer routes in and out of Immokalee. Another audience member suggested proposed GOAL 1 to "Annually Identify the priorities of the Immokalee Community and the Immokalee portion of the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency." The group revisited the Vision Statement. It was suggested and agreed to revise the "outstanding schools" portion. The group said this was not a realistic goal and suggested to revise to "promote outstanding education" which would broaden the goal to include information technology and other workforce training institutions. One final comment suggested addressing agri-research as a policy under the appropriate goal. Anita then directed the group to identify existing known neighborhoods on the aerial maps provided. Circles were provided as a quarter -mile reference. The team wanted to know why identifying neighborhoods was important. Anita and the group collectively answered this question by saying it was important to determine which areas needed parks and/or infrastructure and to spread the wealth when new projects or budgets arise. The team did not identify any new neighborhoods, but Anita did point out neighborhoods identified in the morning workshop and the group did recognize those neighborhoods as distinct areas. The Sidewalks Map was then reviewed. The group unanimously agreed that Immokalee needs more sidewalks, specifically on paths near and to schools, generally everywhere for bicycles, and requested a sidewalk/bike connection to Ave Maria. The audience expressed concerns including narrow roads, poor or no lighting, and beaten dirt paths that indicate a need for sidewalks. 23 The audience suggested to include reference to State Road 29 enhancements for transporting people and goods in and out of town into the GMP, as well as referencing improvements to County Road 846 connecting to Naples. Final comments from the audience focused on enhancing airport improvements and focusing on manufacturing goods and shipping them out via truck or air. 24 Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Public Workshop #3 Summary February 20, 2018 — RCMA Rollason Office Classroom (9:00 a.m. —11:00 a.m.) The third public input meeting for the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy was held on February 20th, 2018 at Revelation Church. The meeting began at approximately 9:15 a.m. and ended at approximately 11:20 a.m. Sixteen people attended the event, see attached for sign in sheet. Anita Jenkins, Principal Planner with Collier County Growth Management, began the session with a short introduction and participants introduced themselves as well. Anita summarized the future land use map, and she mentioned the other master plans that are underway, including the Parks Master Plan. She summarized the Immokalee Master Plan background and purpose, explaining the difference between goals and policies, and outlined the next steps for having the Master Plan transmitted and adopted before the end of the year. Anita identified the handouts on the table explaining the agenda for the meeting. Anita noted the sidewalks map will be updated. There were three tables, each including one facilitator. The following was discussed at the three tables: Vision • Agree with previous meetings on adding the term "family-oriented" • The vision statement seems out of reach and not the current state of things; once the idea of a vision statement was explained, it was agreed that this is a good direction to take • Highlight on the cultural strengths that exist in Immokalee Infrastructure • Need for improved roadways (a lot of unpaved roads) • Immokalee needs a hospital and/or urgent care o A lot of residents drive over an hour to go to their doctor; a health facility that accommodates the population is needed • Prioritize "attractive" appeal (as mentioned in the vision statement). Main roads that people use when coming in from Naples or from the north on State Road 29 should be more inviting. 25 o Landscaping along roads important for unity throughout Immokalee; focus on maintenance of this landscaping • Street lighting is a priority • Sidewalks on all streets, especially on main spine roads (Immokalee Road, State Road 29, Lake Trafford Road, New Market Road) • Traffic light needed at State Road 29 and Westclox Street; unsafe intersection • Greater traffic calming and re-evaluation of speed limits through residential communities and improved road connectivity • Prioritize safety for both vehicular and pedestrian movement • Language in infrastructure goal should include 'safe' and focus on pedestrian and public transit infrastructure: shelters, sidewalks, lighting • Crash data may reflect need for sidewalks instead of paved shoulders • Evacuation route needed west of State Road 29 • Storm water management improvements (specifically along New Market) • Emphasize need for an additional corridor (Loop road) Housing • The term "sanitary housing" is supported. Participants feel this is important for landlords to follow. • Workforce and/or affordable housing is necessary to support the existing community. • Do not want higher -end housing so land value does not increase; if land value increases this is problematic for residents • Do not want the negative impression of poverty in Immokalee; does not want to be only viewed as low-income • Incentives are supported to repurpose housing/existing structures Funding • Funding from County must go into road improvements before civic center • County must be more involved with developers and the public; redevelopment plans should be public so there is involvement Economy • Initiative to be health -conscience; a lot of residents go to the nearest Dollar General to buy processed foods • Create opportunity/incentive for big box stores • Big Box stores would be good if they complement local businesses rather than compete; most residents must drive for an hour to purchase anything besides basic groceries • Local businesses are not diverse because they are all run by a small handful of owners 26 • Create opportunity/incentive for specialty commercial/retail which fit the character of Immokalee (farmers' markets, craft boutiques, cafes, small groceries, flea markets) • Traffic is horrible around Winn-Dixie since it's the main place for groceries, thus more options are needed • The County should meet with landowners to find out what they consider to be valid incentives • Existing business could provide positive reviews of area to promote new businesses to come in; this can counter the "crime -ridden" stereotype Other Comments • Break the cycle and provide places and activities for children to play indoors safe out of the rain and heat (i.e., gymnastics, arts) • Culturally driven design standards; increase of murals/public art helps reduce crime rates o RCMA design as a good precedent o Do not over -design landscape to allow for "eyes on the street" o Community/historically-based art • Landscaping standards are important as well — not just design standards • Incentivize redevelopment of existing vacant infrastructure • Need the County to improve existing conditions (roads, street lights, landscape and landscape maintenance, etc.) as a priority over building a civic center • Establishing a connection between the CRA and the Sheriff o This is to help prove this is a safe community, but it is wrongly portrayed • Public transportation needs to be more transparent; publicized, multiple languages and easily read maps • Often an issue with parking The table discussions also addressed future land uses, neighborhoods and sidewalks based on the maps provided. Two of the three tables worked out neighborhood boundaries on their aerial maps. These were collected for analysis by staff. Anita indicated staff may assist in creating graphics that reflect the strengths of Immokalee for local tourism and to make Immokalee more inviting. Near the end of this discussion Frank informed the group that the CRA would like to start a leadership initiative reflecting the Leadership Collier program and encouraged attendees to be a part of it and to let other residents know who may be interested. 27 Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Public Workshop #4 Summary February 15, 2018 — Immokalee Community Park (5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.) The fourth public input meeting for the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy was held on February 20, 2018 at the Immokalee Community Park. The meeting began at approximately 5:50 p.m. Seven people attended the meeting, four were County officials and staff and three were members of the public. See attached for the sign in sheet. Anita Jenkins, Principal Planner with Collier County Growth Management, began the evening with a discussion summarizing the Immokalee Master Plan background and purpose. Anita summarized existing uses and future land use and zoning. She emphasized the intent of the Master Plan is a top-level view of land use designations that directs goals and visions. She pointed out that zoning controls development standards, setbacks, etc. She highlighted the meeting schedule for the next public meetings in March 2018 and outlined the next steps for having the Master Plan transmitted and adopted with an anticipated completion at the end of 2018. Anita started discussion by explaining the Proposed Immokalee Future Land Use Map (FLUM). She explained that the proposed changes would not render property incompatible or inconsistent. Anita then introduced the Vision Statement stating that it is currently drafted from the CRA Vision Statement which was created with public input. Participants in prior meetings suggested including a focus on families. The public asked "Does stable neighborhoods mean a focus away from migrant housing?" Anita said that the vision statement refers to stable neighborhoods with the intent to improve dilapidated homes and encourage appropriate uses, such as excluding industrial uses in residential areas. Anita assured that there were not a significant number of changes to the proposed Future Land Use Map. The most significant changes include a larger Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict boundary and an extension of the Recreation Tourist Subdistrict to wrap around Lake Trafford. Anita indicated that the color scheme is different between the adopted and proposed Future Land Use Map; it is updated with colors that are more consistent with industry standards. For example, gray is commonly associated with Industrial uses and red is commonly associated with commercial uses. 28 Anita further explained that updating the Master Plan entices business owners and investors to build in Immokalee because appropriately designated land creates "build -ready" sites that are attractive to investors and builders. A participant suggested there was an issue of decreased property values associated with the proposed Master Plan Update in 2012. Anita said; the proposed changes do not affect zoning; they simply allow more opportunity without requiring a long Comprehensive Plan Amendment process. Questions were raised regarding the State Road 29 reconfiguration, specifically the potential for commercial growth, and staff identified that State Road 29 is intended for truck use and no changes are proposed for commercial use along State Road 29 at this time because it is intended to function as an alternate route or bypass. In response to inquiries about the updating of land uses every ten or five years, staff responded that land uses were previously updated in seven-year cycles but that is no longer required. Others commented in order to rezone property, the project must meet the three C's: Consistency, Concurrency and Compatibility. Staff explained that the proposed goals are similar but more concise than the adopted goals. Generally, goals are broad while policies are more detailed and specific. Staff indicated that proposed GOAL 7 is specific to Immokalee and is intended to further define setbacks, landscape standards, etc. to make Immokalee unique. Staff further discussed the Future Land Use Map and explained that commercial areas are justified by population. Industrial areas are guided by opportunity, and not population driven. An aerial map was presented by staff with the intent to identify existing neighborhoods. Anita highlighted a few existing neighborhoods including the Golden Triangle and the Fruit Bowl. She posed questions such as, "Is this neighborhood complete?" Defining neighborhoods elevate the family focus that Immokalee desires and provides opportunity to coordinate needs. For example, does Southside need sidewalks? When asked about replacing mobile homes per the proposed Future Land Use policies, staff said the mobile home replacement issue was resolved in 2017 through the Land Development Code. The public asked if an owner or developer would still need to go through zoning to build an apartment complex. Staff responded that yes, zoning is still required for development, however, it is easiest to choose an existing area with higher residential density allowed per the Future Land Use 29 Map. However, an apartment complex could be sought nearly anywhere if and when a developer goes through a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, which takes a lot of time. Staff presented the Sidewalks Map and pointed out numerous transit stops, but a lack of sidewalk connection. Anita suggested that an updated plan for future sidewalks allows staff to write grants to meet the goals. Anita provided an email address for comments and documents to be published (IAMPrestudy@colliercountyfl.gov). There will be two more workshops in March. The meeting ended at approximately 6:45p.m. 30 Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Public Workshop #5 Summary April 25th, 2018 — CareerSource 750 South 5th St. (8:30 a.m. —10:30 a.m.) The Immokalee Master Plan morning session meeting began at approximately 8:38 a.m. and concluded at approximately 10:27 a.m. This was a joint CRA, MSTU and Immokalee Area Master Plan public meeting. The Pledge of Allegiance was conducted, followed by a moment of silence. The date was announced, along with roll call. Approximately five members of the CRA, five members of the MSTU, and eleven members of the public were in attendance. Attendees were each given a hard -copy of meeting material for review and discussion. The distributed Proposed Immokalee Area Mater Plan reflected the comments from previous public meetings and recommendations from Collier County staff in strike -through and underline format. A Future Land Use Map, Neighborhoods Map, and Sidewalk Map associated with the Master Plan were also distributed. Anita Jenkins opened the meeting and explained that any additional comments can be emailed to IAMPrestudy@CollierCountyFL.gov until May 25th. In June, staff will have the Master Plan material prepared and submitted to the Board of County Commissioners. Anita presented the proposed changes to the Master Plan in page -by -page format. She referenced the introduction on pages 2 and 3, which has been updated since the 2012 Restudy data. The Vision Statement is included with the introduction, and it has been updated to reflect the policies. Pages 4 and 5 included only minor revisions. Page 6 begins the discussion of Goal 1, which is important for conveying to others what is important to the community. The focus of Goal 1 is business opportunities, positivity and enhancing and diversifying the community. She explained that the CRA "Project List" is more appropriate in the Infrastructure section. Anita explained that the references to economic drivers were not changed. Anita discussed Policy 2.2.1 related to the Expedited Review process which was important from 2012 to 2016. She shared Resolution 2016-247 with the attendees and said because the resolution has been adopted, it's not important to still be referenced in the Master Plan. Policy 2.4.2 Cultural Programs and Facilities was deemed repetitive of Policy 1.3.1, so it was removed to keep the document concise. The next change was to Technical Assistance which has been 31 reworked to remove the responsibility of the CRA so as not to overburden them. The BOCC is a better option to delegate tasks to the most appropriate staff. Anita then discussed changes based on prior workshops to address housing and neighborhoods per Objective 2.1 and Collier County's intent to "identify neighborhood improvements needed to elevate the neighborhood quality of life." At previous Master Plan public meetings, attendees were asked to identify neighborhoods within Immokalee and to refine boundaries. Anita asked attendees to review the Neighborhoods Map to ensure it is correct. This helps to accurately identify needs on a neighborhood basis, including parks, tot lots, water management projects, transit stops, safe access and lighting. Anita then mentioned that she is not only working with the community, but also with County Transportation staff and the Housing Department. She noted that the Florida Health Department has authority over farmworker and migrant housing, and the County only has control over the development standards for such housing. Policies in the Master Plan are limited on matters that are governed by agencies other than the County. An attendee commented that it is a mistake to focus on farmworker housing. Instead, the focus should be housing that supports the workforce, noting that tourism is a driving force and the housing need to be addressed to accommodate this. Anita responded that Goal 2 is to provide quality neighborhoods with a full range of housing for all. She welcomed attendees to provide strengthened language for that goal. Anita referenced Policy 2.2.1 Targeted Redevelopment Areas meant to address neighborhood needs. Areas of concern include sidewalks, lighting, recreation areas and proximity to fresh foods. Instead of fresh foods being available exclusively at flea markets, they should be available within neighborhoods with specific design requirements to be outlined in the Land Development Code. Anita spoke to Policy 2.2.6 Farmworker Housing Land Development Regulations. This policy is being maintained in the Master Plan, and language is added noting that there need to be quality neighborhoods with a full range of housing for all Immokalee residents. She added that Collier County is currently in the midst of an extensive housing study, and the incentives are being worked out through Board of County Commissioner direction. Those incentives are referenced in the Master Plan. Objective 3.1 is the location where reference to the CRA Project List is proposed to move. Commissioner McDaniel referenced Policy 3.1.2, stating it gives a pass for the Board to extend timeframes. Anita said that timeframes are established, but the Board has authority to adjust them. Discussion ensued about removing Policy 3.1.2 because it says that there is a timeframe established, but not really, making it contradictory. Another attendee agreed to remove the policy language. Debrah Forester suggested changing the title of "Targeted Redevelopment Area" to "Targeted Neighborhood Areas." The CRA has Improvement areas and this might be confusing. She also 32 suggested establishing priority improvements than can be reviewed annually. The idea of identifying and referring to neighborhoods was discussed by the group. Debrah Forester suggested adding the verbiage "coordination with departments" in Policy 1.5.1. to reach the end goal of all County agencies being accessible. On Page 13 in Policy 4.2.1, "encouraging active lifestyles" was moved back to the neighborhood section where the policy intent is similar. Anita explained that neighborhood "facilities" may be conveyed a "buildings," which is not the intent, because a ballfield or tot lot can be a neighborhood facility. Thus, the idea of recreational areas is preferred. Anita explained a Parks Master Plan effort is ongoing, and it will address community park policies. An attendee asked: Will Anita cross reference the Parks Master Plan? Anita confirmed it is a good idea, and the Housing Plan will also be cross referenced. An attendee suggested that recreation areas should not only be on the ground, but also on the roofs of some buildings. An attendee asked about Objective 1.3, Tourism, Recreation, Entertainment and Cultural Opportunities and noted the plan only references recreation. Tourism and Cultural Opportunities should have their own objectives to identify expansion opportunities. Anita mentioned that tourism is referenced in an Objective, and subsequent policies, but there is a possibility to expand and give greater specificity. The attendee said she will send further comments via email. Another attendee mentioned that agritourism is skipped in Objective 1.3, and it should be added. More comments were shared about keeping the language general and expanding on the entertainment policy. Anita noted to add an objective the under economic goal and move agritourism policy there as well. It was suggested to expand and explain the entertainment policy. Anita discussed arrangements of the document including an additional Objective under the economic development goal. Debrah Forester then mentioned that tourism promotes people to live, work and conduct business in Immokalee. Anita advised against pulling the objective apart, but just enhancing and being more specific in the policies. She mentioned that she is cautious about making any changes without the public's input, and she appreciates the feedback. Regarding Policy 3.3.1 on page 13, an attendee asked why the word "future" is being crossed out. Anita explained that the County is prioritizing the people who live here now. The Land Development Code specifies and requires new neighborhoods to connect to existing neighborhoods and the grid system. Anita suggested to add a policy for new neighborhoods to connect with the existing grid system with sidewalks as well. 33 Debrah asked if the Sidewalk Map will be referenced in the Master Plan. Anita confirmed that is will be included. The idea of adding verbiage "as amended" was suggested so the Master Plan would maintain consistency over time. An attendee mentioned the Long -Range Transportation Improvements should be bulleted according to priority. For example, improve SR 82 and SR 29 and add the bypass road later. Anita responded that the Transportation Department gave updates on road projects, noting State Road 82 is underway, and SR 29 is being discussed. Anita mentioned that bypass alternatives are being reviewed. She noted that in the northwest area there is a lack of a complete grid that restricts bus access, and that bicycle and pedestrian pathways are needed in so many areas. The attendee reiterated that the multiple references to the bypass road gives the wrong impression that it's a high priority for Immokalee. Debrah Forester suggested a separate policy on transportation, specific to completing the grid system. Long-term transportation is addressed by the MPO, but there are opportunities for identifying regional projects that needs funding. An attendee mentioned that a one-page guide is needed to explain what this Master Plan is and is not. Everyone has different opinions on what this is. Anita said she'd be happy to provide such a guide. Anita explained references to transit services on page 15, which she has reviewed with Michelle Arnold the Collier Area Transit Director. The Transit staff need to address corridors and indicate improvements. The Master Plan addresses corridors but not transit operations, which is subject to change as technology changes. She said there is no need for the transportation concurrency policy, which was inserted during the last Restudy. Anita said there is plenty of road capacity in Immokalee and no density increases are proposed, so there are no concurrency deficiencies and the policy is not needed. An attendee asked if a downtown business could be on a first -floor with second -floor residential. Anita confirmed that is already allowed in the Mixed -Use District. Anita reviewed page 16 and the Clean Immokalee Plan. She referenced a presentation by Roy Spence, Hall of Famer in the marketing business, who coined "Don't Mess with Texas" as part of a Clean Up Texas Campaign with public service announcements provided by Willie Nelson and Stevie Ray Vaughan. She mentioned that this strategy should be considered. Immokalee has great athletes who could promote a Clean Immokalee campaign. Debrah mentioned that a timeframe for development and implementation needed to be added to this policy, and Anita suggested adding a two-year timeframe. Anita discussed Policy 4.1.1. on page 16 related to incentives through land development regulations, including studying other Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) programs. Anita advised that other strategies should be pursued rather than TDRs. Buying TDRs costs money and in turn raises housing costs. Natural resource protection can be accomplished through water farming and mitigation, and 34 she suggested that staff resources could be used to consider other natural resource protection opportunities. An attendee asked if TDRs could be maintained as an option. Another attendee replied that the that the policy directs staff to study other TDR programs. Anita reiterated that TDRs costs money, which raise the costs of housing, and that density blending that preserves land and allows development should be explored. Commissioner McDaniel mentioned that the Board is looking to create an Immokalee Chapter in the LDC to address such issues as these. He cautioned that evaluating the TDR options could be costly. An attendee mentioned that while it is great to address in the LDC, it is also important to include a general reference to TDRs so the Master Plan is not inconsistent. Anita then mentioned that Policy 4.1.1 on page 16 does address density bonuses and transfer of rights. Kris Van Lengen commented that Policy 4.1.1 was very specific and questioned if such specificity was needed. Other attendees agreed with this concern. Anita advised that the title for Policy 4.1.2 is changed from Lake Trafford Development to Lake Trafford Water Quality. The title change reflects the continuation of water quality improvements. Anita noted that she met with Pollution Control staff to ensure this is still accurate. Anita described deleting Policy 5.1.4 entitled "Conservation Designation," because the term "conservation" may bring about unintended consequences to the detriment of eco -tourism by limiting the recreational use of properties. Instead, protection functions can be accomplished through easements. Anita advises that Policy 6.1.3 is removed, because it's redundant to the right -to -farm act in Florida Statues. Policy 6.1.4 related to farmworker housing is also removed because the Florida Department of Health regulates this topic. Anita discussed the policies on rezoning and consistency by policy for mobile homes. An attendee asked why mobile homes are referenced as "temporary" residency? Anita explained that it is associated with temporary homes during construction in Agricultural areas. She described issues that arose from the 2012 planning effort affecting the ability for continuation of mobile home properties. She described the overlay in the LDC for Immokalee mobile home properties. She said the LDC is the resource for anyone interested to review the mobile home overlay standards for Immokalee, which have recently been adopted to address local issues. Anita pointed out that Immokalee is a food desert. There is limited access to fruits or vegetables. She explained the recommended addition to the policy allowing for fresh fruit and vegetable stands or trucks in neighborhoods. A participant asked if there are standards included for fruit or vegetable stands. Anita answered that the LDC will address standards, and the Master Plan just allows for them. The group discussed that standards and better Code enforcement are needed so illegal operations can be dealt with. 35 Anita identified proposed updates to Policy 6.1.2 related to the location of service uses to reference "community" parks within a %-mile area. Commissioner McDaniel mentioned that these policies will assist the Board and staff to direct implementation. Policy 7.1.3 related to innovative design was removed because it's redundant. Anita referenced the Immokalee Government Services Center and noted that the public wants a civic center for people to gather, providing opportunities for entertainment and cultural uses. An attendee mentioned that the Master Plan language gives the appearance that a mayor is wanted, and no one wants that. The attendee expressed that government staff should be based in Naples, not in Immokalee. Commissioner McDaniel stressed that the Master Plan identifies that government offices could be located in one area. Anita said a mayor was not the intent of a government center, and that the revisions were based on public input, which is important. Anita went on to discuss commercial zoning and separation standards, and verbiage was added to include "unless authorized by BOCC" to allow for applicants to ask Board approval of projects that are good for the community. Commissioner McDaniel noted the criteria seem too specific, and Anita stated she agreed and that she would address consistency between policies. An attendee asked about the policy allowing fruit or vegetable sales in neighborhoods, and if gardens are allowed. Anita advised that gardens are allowed, but once vegetables are sold it is considered a business which is not allowed. For fruit stands proposed in neighborhoods, the LDC will regulate how those fruit stands will appear. Anita highlighted the change to expand the Recreational Tourist Subdistrict around Lake Trafford to support eco -tourism. She addressed Commissioner McDaniel's concern about residential parcel size criteria being too specific by explaining the standards that are specific will be moved out of the Master Plan and into the Land Development Code, which allows for deviations and amendments through Board of County Commissioner approval. Commissioner McDaniel stressed the importance of maintaining the public's interest through making the Master Plan more global, and the Land Development Code more specific. Anita said policies on density, density bonuses, and density rating system will not be changed. She said transient lodging density will also be maintained in the Master Plan. Commissioner McDaniel raised concern that the density standard of 26 units per acre for transient lodging could be too limiting. Debrah stated transient lodging and hotel may be defined differently, and Anita said she will review the definitions. An attendee asked if the area around Lake Trafford labeled as CMU on the Future Land Use Map is the Habitat community? Anita confirmed this, and stated it is not changing because the County is not able to downgrade development rights. Another participant asked if a certain designated area was increased. Anita answered yes, the RT boundary was increased. An attendee asked about the zoning of the Winn Dixie property, and Anita 36 confirmed the property's land use designation is CMU which allows rezoning as necessary for the property. Debrah asked about Goal 7 coordination of government agencies and the need for an Emergency Operations Center after Hurricane Irma. Anita confirmed the EOC could be referenced in a separate policy. Debrah asked if the Sidewalk Map could be referred to as a 5 -year plan including more detail of sidewalk locations and material types, which can be updated over time. Commissioner McDaniel added that TIGER Grant projects are underway and should be included. Anita answered that the green areas on the map reflect the TIGER Grant projects. She said that unfunded projects can be added as another line item on the map. An attendee requested a draft grid map to show connection areas. Anita replied that such a map could be developed per the policy regarding the issue of proposed connections. Anita said comments can provided by email or telephone. The meeting concluded at 10:27 a.m. 37 Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Public Workshop #6 Summary April 25', 2018 — Immokalee Community Park 321 N. 1st St Immokalee FL 34142 5:30 p.m. — 7:30 p.m. The meeting began at 5:44 p.m. with eight participants in attendance. Anita Jenkins introduced the revised Immokalee Area Master Plan that includes recommendations based on public input. She explained that this plan includes six years' worth of work. The plan is in strikethrough and underlined format. She explained that the final document will be presented to the Board of County Commissioners in June to start the review and update process. She mentioned that feedback can be provided to Commissioner McDaniel. She explained the proposed Plan language in page -by -page format. On pages 2 and 3, there were only small changes to the Introduction that recognized background work. The Vision statement was added to the Introduction, and it reflects intent of the policies, focusing on strengthening the economy, housing for everyone, diversity of economy, and walkable neighborhoods. Anita explained the intent of the Comprehensive Plan is to guide growth. The Future Land Use Map only says what you can do, it is an indicator of opportunity. The Future Land Use Map is not intended to suggest that a property owner is out of compliance, but rather the Comprehensive Plan is meant to guide the community in growth. On page 6, the Goal 1 is essentially a CRA annual infrastructure project list and that information has been moved to a more appropriate section. The new Goal 1 is to attract business and economic growth. The opening of the plan is now focused on enhancing and diversifying Immokalee. On page 7, Policy 2.2.1 Expedited Review is already taken care of through Resolution 2016-247 and thus it has been removed. Anita identified that Policy 1.3 was discussed in the morning session. Anita said the next time the Master Plan revisions are presented, it will incorporate the group's suggestion to break out tourism, eco -tourism, recreation, entertainment and cultural opportunities, and it will be more specific with those economic drivers. An attendee commented that there is no entertainment present in Immokalee, while another participant mentioned the Casino is entertainment. Another responded that the Casino is not family oriented, and an amphitheater for families is desired. Anita continued on page 9 stating Policy 2.4.2 is redundant and has been removed. Policy 1.5.1 had delegated a lot of work to the CRA, and the updated language allows Collier County staff to provide 38 technical assistance. Anita mentioned that the language will be strengthened to allow for intergovernmental coordination. On page 10, Goal 2 and Policy 2.1.1 define neighborhoods. Defining neighborhoods will manifest in more complete neighborhoods, because needs for parks, stormwater management and other improvements can be identified. Input from the past public meetings has defined neighborhood boundaries on the Neighborhoods Map. A participant mentioned that neighborhood names need to be simplified, for instance, instead of calling an area "The Fruit Basket" consider picking a produce. Another attendee suggested to not change that neighborhood name because that is how the community has referred to the area for many years. Another suggested that Fruit Basket needs a new boundary, with Carson and Eden Park defining that boundary. Anita explained Policy 3.1.1 references to farmworker housing have been removed, because the Health Department has authority over housing regulations. Reference to regulations were moved to the LDC, Policy 2.2.6. An attendee commented that mobile homes need to be allowed, although fixed up, but still allowed. Anita explained the goal is to provide a diversity of housing to meet all the needs of the community and not just a focus on farmworker housing. The participants engaged in conversation about logistics and regulations of subsidized housing, specifically in relation to Trafford Isles and the apartment building development within Arrowhead. Anita directed the audience to look at Policy 2.3.1 on page 12 that addresses Housing Grant Opportunities. This policy relates to the County Housing Plan and will allow grant funding to be funneled to Immokalee area housing projects. Anita said text is added to Goal 3 from the original Goal 1. She advised that in the earlier session today, Commissioner McDaniel commented that Policy 3.1.2 allows an extra timeframe and that extra flexibility is not appropriate. If the policy states it should be done in two years, then it should be completed on time. The attendees agreed with this revision. Anita referenced Policy 3.2.4. — Encourage Active Lifestyles on page 13, stating the intent is to complete neighborhoods with tot lots, basketball court, community gardens and more. Attendees mentioned that any parks put in place need to be larger or regional parks. Anita responded that the County's Parks Master Plan will address parks, however, small parks are more affordable to maintain, and the intent is to create gathering areas for the community that are walkable in relation to their neighborhood. Anita mentioned that the Parks Master Plan is currently being worked on and will be presented in June. An attendee commented that Dreamland, a current park, is vacant. Another participant mentioned that new equipment was just installed at that specific park near the back. Anita explained that page 14 discusses Long Range Transportation Improvements. State Road 82 has been approved and in the works, including roundabout and four -lane widening. The SR 29 bypass routes are being worked on and have been narrowed down to two choices. 39 Anita explained that Policy 4.2.7 was removed because operations should not be addressed in the Master Plan. Transportation concurrency was removed because there is no deficiency on roadway networks. She said the language regarding Stormwater Management on page 16 will reference the Stormwater Master Plan so that it is easy to maintain consistency as other plans are updated. In reference to Policy 3.4.1: Clean Immokalee Plan, Anita shared her experience with Roy Spence "Hall of Fame" marketer and how he initiated the "Don't Mess With Texas" Campaign as a Clean Up initiative to clean up litter. This may be a positive option for Immokalee. A participant mentioned possibly working with the "Keep Collier Beautiful Campaign." Another participant asked if there are neighborhood associations in Immokalee, and another attendee confirmed there are, for example, Jubilation, Arrowhead and some Habitat projects. A participant asked if the Blue Zones Project will be incorporated in this effort. Anita stated the Blue Zones Project specifically will not be in the plan, but the philosophy and principles of Blue Zones are reflected. For example, Immokalee has a fresh foods desert although this is an agricultural community. The Master Plan supports fresh food markets in close proximity to neighborhoods. A focus on smaller neighborhood parks is also supportive of Blue Zones principles. Improved sidewalks and lighting are also supported in the Master Plan. A participant asked if neighborhood gardens were supported in the Master Plan. Anita indicated that neighborhood and community gardens are currently allowed. A participant noted that Immokalee has ice cream trucks, but questioned why the community doesn't have vegetable trucks. Another participant indicated that vegetable trucks are in the area. Some private gardeners package their food and drive to higher -end neighborhoods to sell their produce in the Naples gated communities. Anita directed the conversation to the Lake Trafford Development section on page 17. She indicated that the title was changed to "Lake Trafford Water Quality" to shift the focus on water quality, which the community has worked so hard to improve over the years. This section of the Master Plan discusses water quality goals, not development goals. She explained the Conservation Designation policy on page 17 was moved to the Land Development Code. An attendee asked who funds the additional language to the LDC? Anita responded that Collier County has an LDC staff. The attendee wanted to know who is working on Best Management Practices (BMPs). Anita responded that staff will coordinate with other agencies in developing BMPs. A participant mentioned the water issues after Hurricane Irma and wanted assurance that Immokalee is included in the Collier County budget. The participant asked: When the LDC is discussed, will staff come to Immokalee and will the public's input be considered? Anita confirmed that meetings will be held in Immokalee and public input is .X very appreciated. She also noted that Commissioner McDaniel has already initiated the need for a specific Immokalee Land Development Code (LDC). The discussion shifted to the rezoning process. Anita explained that the Comprehensive Plan is the top level of regulation and zoning is more property -specific. She referenced Policy 5.1.6 Rezonings and Growth Management Plan Consistency by Policy on page 19. Anita stated that in the past it was a problem to allow mobile homes, however, that issue was resolved with LDC Section 2.03.07 Mobile Home Overlay Zoning District. A participant asked if the Overlay District only allows mobile homes, or does it address driveways and such? Anita responded that the Mobile Home Overlay Zoning District only allows the use of mobile homes, however, the LDC regulates driveway materials, tie downs, etcetera. Another attendee asked how mobile homes are condemned. Anita responded that the County Housing Plan is addressing condemnation issues and is in the process of being updated. An attendee asked about mobile home parks being up to code. Anita responded that replacing a mobile home only requires consistency with the approved site plan. A new mobile home park would need to adhere to current LDC requirements for driveways and sidewalks. Anita suggested participating in the Immokalee LDC process as it goes through updates and changes. Anita highlighted objectives and policies related to density under Goal 6. She indicated that nothing has changed in the Master Plan in reference to density. She said the impediment to approval of the last Master Plan update may have been due to proposed density changes at that time. She said the existing density in the plan is appropriate and allows for growth, and there is no need to make unnecessary changes, so no new density recommendations are being proposed. She added that the density rating system and bonus density policies have not changed. Anita requested feedback on the Land Use Map. She asked if there was a need for more commercial areas or other changes. Comments from a previous CRA meeting were to define the Triangle area as a central business district. Anita said that change would make sense if the plan were starting anew, but there is no need to disrupt a stable neighborhood. She suggested that dilapidated residential areas are a good opportunity for replacement with commercial uses. A participant commented that the downtown Commercial Mixed Use area on the southern side of Main Street was reduced on the map. The businesses do not have enough room for dumpsters behind the buildings, stormwater retention, or setbacks. An attendee mentioned impact fees and the difficulty to attract businesses to Immokalee when they will generate ten percent of the revenue compared to having the same business located in Naples. Another participant requested education for residents, such as a Home Health 101 course. The Immokalee residents that come from third world countries do not know cleaning practices and standards. Attendees discussed the solid waste problem on Main Street. Attendees asked who is 41 responsible for the dumpster situation, whether it is the property owner, the leasing business or Waste Management. One participant said that a community dumpster might be the solution if business owners would collectively install and share costs for a larger dumpster. The current system of extra trash pick ups and sending staff out to clean just isn't working. The conversation shifted to playgrounds and establishing recreation areas every half mile. Anita responded that staff was working on the inventory of these facilities. A participant asked about a 24-hour urgent care. Anita responded that an urgent care use is allowed, but would require rezoning of property. The participant responded that medical offices exist, but the businesses and services provided needs to be enhanced. The discussion shifted to rezoning a specific property. A participant asked if a current zoning map is available, and Anita indicated that she could email the current zoning map. The group discussed if C-4 and C-5 zoning allows for a used car lot. Anita responded that the C-4 designation allows for new car lots, and the C-5 designation allows for used car lots. Anita indicated that the Neighborhoods Map and Sidewalk Map will be a part of the Master Plan. A participant asked about medical marijuana, and how associated uses are being addressed. Anita responded that there is an evening meeting on April 30 at 5:05 that will address marijuana dispensaries in the LDC. A participant wanted to know what type of business is associated with medical marijuana. Anita responded that it is an agricultural business because it is being grown. When asked where such use is allowed, Anita responded that commercial uses allow for dispensaries and that regulations for medical marijuana establish a minimum distance from schools. She indicated that dispensaries are not regulated like alcohol stores, but more like a pharmacy. The discussion then shifted to the grow house on SR 29 that is approved near the Hendry County line. A participant asked about the area of Immokalee. Anita responded that Immokalee has approximately 17,000 acres, with approximately 10,000 undeveloped acres, most of which are being used for active agriculture. The conversation moved to a discussion on the areas that are in the Immokalee Sewer and District area. Anita wrapped up the meeting and mentioned that BCC meetings can be viewed at www.colliercountvfl.gov. She encouraged participants to email comments and ideas to IAMPrestudy@CollierCountyFL.gov.

INTRODUCTION 2 Immokalee has long been recognized as a distinct community within Collier County. 3 Immokalee's economy, geography, and demographic make-up are different than the rest of 4 Collier County. Approximately one-half of the land within the Immokalee Urban Area is presently 5 zoned and actively used for agriculture. The urban area is surrounded by productive crop lands 6 and environmentally significant habitat. Most Immokalee residents work within the agricultural 7 industry, and the majority of agricultural laborers originate from Mexico and Central America. 8 Statistics from the 2010 Census (the most comprehensive data for Immokalee currently 9 available), comparing Immokalee to the County as a whole, reflect some of the key socio - 10 economic differences, including age distribution, race and ethnicity, income, education and 11 housing. 12 The Immokalee Area Planning Commission was formed in 1965, and Immokalee was governed 13 under separate Zoning and Subdivision Regulations until 1982. While it is now included under 14 the county -wide Land Development Code, in 1991 the County again acknowledged the need for 15 Immokalee-specific land use regulation with the adoption of the first Immokalee Area Master 16 Plan as an element in the Countv's overall comprehensive clan. 17 Collier County first established the Immokalee Area as a Planning Community in its 1983 18 Comprehensive Plan. In 1989, the County adopted revisions to the comprehensive plan, now 19 called the Growth Management Plan (GMP), which included a requirement to develop an area 20 master plan for Immokalee. In 1991, the County adopted the first Immokalee Area Master Plan 21 (TAMP), as referenced in Policy 4.32- of the Future Land Use Element: 22 23 A detailed Master Plan for the Immokalee Urban designated area has been developed and was 24 incorporated into this Growth Management Plan in February 1991. Major revisions were 25 adopted in 1997 following the 1996 Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The Immokalee Area 26 Master Plan addresses conservation, future land use, population, recreation, transportation, 27 housina. and the local economv. Maior purposes of the Master Plan are coordination of land 28 uses and transportation planning, redevelopment or renewal of blighted areas, and the 29 promotion of economic development. 30 31 The IAMP is in addition to and supplements the goals, objectives, and policies, of the Collier 32 County Growth Management Plan. Due to the unique geographic, social, and economic 33 characteristics of the Immokalee Urban Designated Area as compared with urban Naples, 34 Coastal Collier County, and the State of Florida as a whole, the Board of County 35 Commissioners deemed it necessary to restudy the Immokalee Urban Designated Area. On 36 May 27, 2003, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2003-192, which 37 established the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Committee as an ad hoc advisory 38 committee to the board. The Committee was to serve for a period of one year. On September 39 28, 2004, the Board adopted Ordinance 2004-62, extending the timeframe for the advisory 40 committee and renaming it the Immokalee Master Plan and Visioning Committee (IMPVC). On 41 November 13, 2007, the Board adopted Ordinance 2007-69, which extended the timeframe 42 again, providing for dissolution of the committee no later than December 31, 2009. The purpose 43 and duties of the Committee remain the same: Words underlined are added; words s.,...,.'� are deleted Words double underlined are CCPC additions; words double are CCPC deletions Proposed Amendments to the Immokalee Area Master Plan 2 A. Assist in the development of any necessary Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for consulting 3 services. 4 B. Assist County staff with the review of general planning matters related to the Immokalee 5 Community. These could include housing, zoning, economic and/or other issues as may be 6 brouaht before the Committee. 7 C. Identifv and Drovide the Board of Countv Commissioners the Committee recommendations 8 relative to: 9 1. road improvements; 10 2. economic incentives; 11 3. increasing the quality and quantity of affordable housing; 12 4. land uses and improvements relative to the Immokalee Regional Airport; 13 5. density increases in mixed-use districts; 14 6. restructuring of future land use designations and designation boundaries within the 15 Immokalee community; 16 7. the facilitation of construction of commercial development in commercial districts; 17 8. the preparation of revisions to current zoning districts and the development of associated 18 LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as amended) standards; and 19 9. the review of the 5 -year Schedule of Capital Improvements relative to the Immokalee 20 community. 21 D. Assist in the development of revised goals, objectives, and policies, and land use 22 desianation descriptions for the Immokalee Area Master Plan. 23 E. Assist in the review and updating of the Immokalee Area Master Plan in order to establish 24 consistency between the Master Plan and the County Rural Lands Stewardship Area 25 Overlay provisions. 26 27 The IMPVC worked steadily towards achieving these goals. However, by 2012 the adoption of 28 the revised IAMP and revised Immokalee Master Plan Future Land Use Map remained out of 29 reach and no amendments were made to the TAMP. 30 31 In 2015, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to update four area master plans 32 including the Immokalee Area Master Plan. Staff then engaged the Immokalee community in a 33 review of the significant work accomplished during the previous restudy. The amendments to 34 the IAMP found herein are a result of the Immokalee residents and business owners continued 35 focus and effort to improve the land use policies that will regulate growth in their community. 36 37 An integral component of Immokalee's future is the Collier County Community Redevelopment 38 Agency (CRA). Established in 2000 by the Board of County Commissioners, the Agency's 39 mission is to eliminate blighted conditions as identified under Chapter 163, Part 3 of the Florida 40 Statutes. The Board of Countv Commissioners is the ex -officio board of the CRA. In 2000. the Words underlined are added; words s.,...,.'� are deleted Words double underlined are CCPC additions; words double are CCPC deletions Proposed Amendments to the Immokalee Area Master Plan 1 BCC adopted the Collier County Community Redevelopment Plan that included two 2 redevelopment areas: Bayshore/Gateway Triangle and Immokalee. 3 4 In 2000, the Immokalee CRA Local Redevelopment Advisory Board was created and members 5 from the community were appointed to provide recommendations to the CRA to implement the 6 redevelopment plan and the allocation of tax increment revenues aenerated by increased 7 property values. Over the years, the Immokalee CRA Local Advisory Board has served as a 8 vehicle to bring forward community needs and interests. 9 10 For the purposes of this Plan, the Immokalee CRA is defined to reference the Immokalee 11 component of the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency. 12 13 14 II. NEW DIRECTIONS 15 Through the County's public outreach during the Immokalee Area Master Plan restudy process, 16 it is clear that the residents of Immokalee see new possibilities for their community with the 17 development of this Master Plan. With the development of this new Master Plan, Immokalee has 18 chosen to focus on opportunities rather than challenges. Immokalee is committed to redefining 19 its future, revitalizing its community, and developing a new mission that focuses on 20 strenathenina and diversifvina its economv. embracina cultural diversitv. and welcomina visitors 21 to "this place we call home. 22 During the 2018 public workshop process, residents and business owners established a guiding 23 community vision. It is the intent to implement this vision through the Goals, Objectives and 24 Policies of this Master Plan. The communitv defined their vision as: 25 "Immokalee is a family-oriented community that supports a healthy lifestyle. It is 26 attractive, environmentally sustainable and offers a full range of housin_p, 27 recreation and education opportunities to meet all residents' needs. Immokalee 28 has a safe, well-connected network to walk and bicycle about town, as well as a 29 roadway network needed to support the transport of goods and services. 30 Business and job opportunities flourish in trade and distribution, a_gri-business, 31 and ecotourism." 32 Economic oaaortunity lies in Immokalee's diverse communitv. Manv residents have roots in 33 Mexico, Central America, Haiti, and various other Caribbean nations. This multicultural heritage 34 should be embraced and used to develop a local marketing strategy. This diversity should guide 35 the redevelopment and design of downtown in order to create a distinct area that will attract new 36 business and visitors. Revitalization of the Main Street commercial corridor will be designed to 37 embrace this cultural diversity; take advantage of the traffic generated by the Immokalee 38 Seminole Casino Hotel and the growing Stewardship Receiving Areas, including the Town of 39 Ave Maria; and create new public plazas and gathering spaces. These public plazas and 40 spaces will be designed within an appropriate streetscape to foster walkability and a mixture of 41 uses, including entertainment and cultural events, and will position Immokalee to attract new 42 residents and visitors to the downtown area. Words underlined are added; words stfuck throng are deleted Words double underlined are CCPC additions; words double are CCPC deletions Proposed Amendments to the Immokalee Area Master Plan The diversitv of Immokalee extends to its uniaue natural surroundinas. which can also be a 2 great benefit to the local economy. Lake Trafford, at Immokalee's western boundary, as well as 3 other adjacent vast natural areas, which include historic working ranches, provide an excellent 4 opportunity to market Immokalee as an ecotourist destination. Immokalee provides a gateway to 5 the Everglades, a world-renowned ecotourist destination. Ecotourists come to an area to 6 experience the natural, rather than the built, environment. Lake Trafford and its environs offer 7 oDDortunities for boatina. fishina. camoina. and hikina. and the chance to experience natural 8 Florida and this freshwater frontier. 9 Agriculture continues to be the manor local industry and Immokalee residents recognize 10 emerging opportunities for new agricultural -related businesses. Increasing fuel costs, 11 apprehension related to food security, and environmental concerns have increased the demand 12 for safe, sustainable, and domestically produced foods and energy sources. Immokalee has an 13 opportunity to create a new farmers' market or expand the existing state farmers' market to 14 serve the regional demand for fresh produce. 15 Additionally, residents see opportunities emerging from the regional economy and the strategic 16 location of Immokalee in the region. Immokalee will not remain isolated in the future. One state 17 arterial (SR 29) runs through the downtown, while another ends lust three miles north of 18 downtown (SR 82). A major county road (CR 846, Immokalee Road), connects Immokalee to I - 19 75. Planned capacity improvements to SR 82 and SR 29 will open up the area to more travel, 20 and planned roadway expansions, including a SR 29 Loop, will further improve the accessibility 21 to and from Immokalee, helping it to become a tourist destination and a distribution center for 22 aoods and services. 23 Improvements to the roadway system, both regionally and within the Immokalee Urban Area, 24 are lust one part of how the overall transportation network will impact the future. I.— .,.,.,.,,.�..�, . 25 26 27 Incentives to encourage economic development at the IMM 28 include the Florida Tradeport which operates within a Foreign Trade Zone (#213), and the 29 Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Zone. The Immokalee Regional Airport (IMM) 30 provides direct access to over 21,000 acres allowing a broad range of aeronautical and 31 industrial uses, and two paved _ runways equipped 32 for Global Position Satellite (GPS) and instrument approaches. 33 The opportunities available through development of the Tradeport are particularly significant 34 given that in 2012 the Collier County Office of Business and Economic Development (OBED) 35 estimated the County will need an additional 3,685 acres of new business park lands by 2030. 36 The OBED has been working to attract research clusters to Collier County to diversify the 37 economy, which is currently highly dependent on only three industries: agriculture, construction, 38 and tourism and services. The three targeted industry clusters are: health and life science; 39 computer software and services; and distribution. Given its location, access to manor roads, 40 connectivity with other parts of the state, availability of developable land, and the airport, 41 Immokalee is a prime location for the new distribution industry that the OBED has identified as 42 being vital to the growth and diversification of Collier County's economy.

As new towns in eastern Collier County develop, needed government services and 3 departments could be centrally located in Immokalee to serve the eastern portion of the 4 County. 5 6 III. IMMOKALEE AREA MASTER PLAN PRIORITIES 7 The Immokalee Area Master Plan has been developed to emphasize these identified 8 opportunities and strengths. The first goal specifically makes economic development a priority, 9 and the objectives and policies set forth specific ways to promote and diversify the local 10 economy and create a positive business climate. 11 The second goal focuses on quality neighborhoods. An Immokalee Neighborhood Map has 12 been created by the community to begin the process of evaluating the needs of each 13 neighborhood. Future neighborhood improvements such as housing conditions, water 14 management, transportation, lighting and play areas, are encouraged to elevate the quality of 15 life for Immokalee residents 16 The third goal addresses infrastructure and public services. Parks and recreational opportunities 17 to serve the young families in Immokalee are the first public infrastructure item discussed. 18 Transportation is a major component of any community's public infrastructure needs, and while 19 county -wide issues are still dealt with in the county Transportation Element, this portion 20 addresses Immokalee's local roads and needed public safety improvements to protect 21 pedestrians and bicyclists. Other important public services include stormwater management and 22 solid waste, which are addressed as well. 23 The fourth goal addresses significant natural resources within the Immokalee Urban Area and 24 ecotourism opportunities. 25 Land use is an integral component of any master plan. The fifth goal defines the land use 26 designations applicable to Immokalee, and as illustrated on the Immokalee Future Land Use 27 Map. Mixed-use, pedestrian -scaled development is important, as is allowing development in 28 appropriate locations. at densities and intensities that will attract new development. 29 Urban form and desian are addressed in the sixth aoal. These obiectives and policies are 30 generally concerned with how to create a theme or brand for Immokalee, provide safe multi - 31 modal transportation, and develop site design and development standards appropriate for 32 Immokalee, rather than continuing to apply standards developed for coastal Collier. 33 The seventh and last goal, is concerned with interlocal and intergovernmental coordination, to 34 address current service issues and to continue collaboration with appropriate oraanizations in 35 the future. 36 Words underlined are added; words s.,...,.'� are deleted Words double underlined are CCPC additions; words double are CCPC deletions 1 (lzl) 3 4 (VI) 6 (VI) 8 9 10 12 13 14 15 16 Proposed Amendments to the Immokalee Area Master Plan W—.

These wetlands require -greater 2 protection measures than wetlands located in other portions of the Immokalee Urban 3 Designated Area. These wetlands are identified on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map 4 by the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay (LT/CKSSO). 5 The Density and Intensity Blending provisions of this Master Plan may be utilized for 6 lands within this LT/CKSSO. The maximum allowable gross density for lands within the 7 LT/CKSSO is the base density established for the applicable Subdistrict. Lands within 8 the LT/CKSSO are not eligible for any density bonuses, including by right. Essential 9 Services shall be limited to: those necessary to ensure public safety; and those 10 necessary to serve permitted uses, such as private wells and septic tanks, utility lines, lift 11 stations, and water pumping stations. 12 13 The additional wetland protection measures do not apply to properties within the 14 LT/CKSSO that have been legally cleared of native vegetation as of the adoption of this 15 Master Plan date], but do apply to all new development and redevelopment pursuant to 16 the applicable nonconforming provisions set forth in the LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as 17 amended). 18 If development on the Seminole Reservation functionally severs the connectivity of the 19 wetland system for properties within the LT/CKSSO, east of the Reservation, the 20 additional wetland protection measures will not be applied to those severed eastern 21 wetlands. The standard measures for wetlands in Urban designated lands shall be 22 applied, as described in the CCME, to those severed eastern wetlands. 23 24 2. Proposed Seminole Reservation (SR) Feature 25 The Seminole Reservation within Immokalee comprises approximately 600 acres of 26 largely undeveloped land owned by the Seminole Tribal Council and located on the east 27 side of First Street, South of (SR 29). The Seminole Reservation is not controlled or 28 regulated by the Collier County Growth Management Plan or LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as 29 amended) and is identified on the Future Land Use Mag for illustrative purposes onlv. MI 31 34, Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area Feature (Reorganized) 32 In order for local governments to designate a geographic area within its jurisdiction as an 33 Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area pursuant to Section 163.2517 (4), Florida Statutes, 34 it must amend its comprehensive land use plan to delineate the boundaries within the 35 Future Land Use Element. The Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area is consistent with 36 criteria outlined in Section 163.2514(2) (a) -(e), Florida Statutes. The intent of this 37 delineation is to comprehensively address the urban problems within the area consistent 38 with the goals of this plan.

I PROPOSED I BCC Draft IMMOKALEE AREA 1 ^°^12019 MASTER PLAN Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan BCC Transmittal Draft PL20180002258/CPSP-2018-5 I. INTRODUCTION Immokalee has lonq been recognized as a distinct community within Collier County. Immokalee's economy, geography, and demographic make-up are different than the rest of Collier County. Approximately one-half of the land within the Immokalee Urban Area is presently zoned and actively used for agriculture. The urban area is surrounded by productive crop lands and environmentally significant habitat. Most Immokalee residents work within the agricultural industry, and the maiority of agricultural laborers originate from Mexico and Central America. Statistics from the 2010 Census (the most comprehensive data for Immokalee currently available), comparing Immokalee to the County as a whole, reflect some of the key socio- economic differences, including age distribution, race and ethnicity, income, education and housing. The Immokalee Area Planning Commission was formed in 1965, and Immokalee was -governed under separate Zoning and Subdivision Regulations until 1982. While it is now included under the county -wide Land Development Code. in 1991 the County again acknowledged the need for Immokalee-specific land use regulation with the adoption of the first Immokalee Area Master Plan as an element in the County's overall comprehensive plan. Collier County first established the Immokalee Area as a Planning Community in its 1983 Comprehensive Plan. In 1989, the County adopted revisions to the comprehensive plan, now called the Growth Management Plan (GMP), which included a requirement to develop an area master plan for Immokalee. In 1991, the County adopted the first Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP), as referenced in Policy 4.3 of the Future Land Use Element: A detailed Master Plan for the Immokalee Urban designated area has been developed and was incorporated into this Growth Management Plan in February 1991. Major revisions were adopted in 1997 following the 1996 Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The Immokalee Area Master Plan addresses conservation, future land use, population, recreation, transportation, housing, and the local economy. Major purposes of the Master Plan are coordination of land uses and transportation planning, redevelopment or renewal of blighted areas, and the promotion of economic development. The IAMP is in addition to and supplements the goals, objectives, and policies, of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. Due to the unique geographic, social, and economic characteristics of the Immokalee Urban Designated Area as compared with urban Naples, Coastal Collier County, and the State of Florida as a whole, the Board of County Commissioners deemed it necessary to restudy the Immokalee Urban Designated Area. On May 27 2003 the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2003-192, which established the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Committee as an ad hoc advisory committee to the board. The Committee was to serve for a period of one year. On September 28 2004 the Board adopted Ordinance 2004-62 extending the timeframe for the advisory committee and renaming it the Immokalee Master Plan and Visioning Committee (IMPVC). On November 13 2.007 the Board adopted Ordinance 2007-69 which extended the timeframe again providing for dissolution of the committee no later than December 31, 2009. The purpose Words underlined are added; words rtFUGk-t#teu94 are deleted 4/2/2019 Page 23 of 53 CAO Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan BCC Transmittal Draft PL20180002258/CPSP-2018-5 and duties of the Committee remain the same: A. Assist in the development of any necessary Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for consultinq services. B. Assist County staff with the review of general planning matters related to the Immokalee Community. These could include housing, zoning economic and/or other issues as may be brought before the Committee. C. Identify and provide the Board of County Commissioners the Committee recommendations relative to: 1. road improvements: 2. economic incentives: 3. increasing the quality and quantity of affordable housing; 4. Land uses and improvements relative to the Immokalee Regional Airport; 5. density increases in mixed-use districts: 6. restructuring of future land use designations and designation boundaries within the Immokalee community; 7. the facilitation of construction of commercial development in commercial districts: 8. the preparation of revisions to current zoning districts and the development of associated LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as amended) standards: and 9. the review of the 5 -year Schedule of Capital Improvements relative to the Immokalee community. D. Assist in the development of revised goals, objectives, and policies, and land use designation descriptions for the Immokalee Area Master Plan. E. Assist in the review and updating of the Immokalee Area Master Plan in order to establish consistency between the Master Plan and the County Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay provisions. The IMPVC worked steadily towards achieving these goals. However, by 2012 the adoption of the revised [AMP and revised Immokalee Master Plan Future Land Use Map remained out of reach and no amendments were made to the TAMP. In 2015, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to update four area master plans including the Immokalee Area Master Plan. Staff then engaged the Immokalee community in a review of the significant work accomplished during the previous restudy. The amendments to the IAMP found herein are a result of the Immokalee residents and business owners continued focus and effort to improve the land use policies that will regulate growth in their community. An integral component of Immokalee's future is the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Established in 2000 by the Board of County Commissioners, the Agency's Words underlined are added; words StFUGk through are deleted 4/2/2019 Page 24 of 53 0 Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan BCC Transmittal Draft PL20180002258/CPSP-2018-5 mission is to eliminate blighted conditions as identified under Chapter 163, Part 3 of the Florida Statutes. The Board of County Commissioners is the ex -officio board of the CRA. In 2000, the BCC adopted the Collier County Community Redevelopment Plan that included two redevelopment areas: Bayshore/Gateway Triangle and Immokalee. In 2000, the Immokalee CRA Local Redevelopment Advisory Board was created and members from the community were appointed to provide recommendations to the CRA to implement the redevelopment plan and the allocation of tax increment revenues generated by increased Property values. Over the years, the Immokalee CRA Local Advisory Board has served as a vehicle to bring forward community needs and interests. For the purposes of this Plan, the Immokalee CRA is defined to reference the Immokalee component of the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency. II. NEW DIRECTIONS Through the County's public outreach during the Immokalee Area Master Plan restudy process, it is clear that the residents of Immokalee see new possibilities for their community with the development of this Master Plan. With the development of this new Master Plan, Immokalee has chosen to focus on opportunities rather than challenges. Immokalee is committed to redefining its future, revitalizing its community, and developing a new mission that focuses on strengthening and diversifying its economy, embracing_ cultural diversity, and welcoming visitors to "this place we call home." During the 2018 public workshop process, residents and business owners established a guiding community vision. It is the intent to implement this vision through the Goals. Obiectives and Policies of this Master Plan. The community defined their vision as: "Immokalee is a family-oriented community that supports a healthy lifestyle. It is attractive, environmentally sustainable and offers a full range of housing, recreation and education opportunities to meet all residents' needs. Immokalee has a safe, well-connected network to walk and bicycle about town, as well as a roadway network needed to support the transport of goods and services. Business and iob opportunities flourish in trade and distribution, agri-business, and ecotourism." Economic opportunity lies in Immokalee's diverse community. Many residents have roots in Mexico Central America Haiti, and various other Caribbean nations. This multicultural heritage should be embraced and used to develop a local marketing strategy. This diversity should guide the redevelopment and design of downtown in order to create a distinct area that will attract new business and visitors Revitalization of the Main Street commercial corridor will be designed to embrace this cultural diversity: take advantage of the traffic generated by the Immokalee Seminole Casino Hotel and the growing Stewardship Receiving Areas, including the Town of Ave Maria: and create new public plazas and gathering spaces These public plazas and Words underlined are added; words stFUGk thettgli are deleted 4/2/2019 Page 25 of 53 CAO Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan BCC Transmittal Draft PL20180002258/CPSP-2018-5 spaces will be designed within an appropriate streetscape to foster walkability and a mixture of uses, includinq entertainment and cultural events and will position Immokalee to attract new residents and visitors to the downtown area. The diversity of Immokalee extends to its unique natural surroundings which can also be a great benefit to the local economy. Lake Trafford. at Immokalee's western boundary, as well as other adjacent vast natural areas, which include historic working ranches provide an excellent opportunity to market Immokalee as an ecotourist destination. Immokalee provides a gateway to the Everglades, a world-renowned ecotourist destination. Ecotourists come to an area to experience the natural, rather than the built, environment. Lake Trafford and its environs offer opportunities for boating, fishing, camping and hiking and the chance to experience natural Florida and this freshwater frontier. Agriculture continues to be the major local industry and Immokalee residents recognize emerging opportunities for new agricultural -related businesses. Increasing fuel costs, apprehension related to food security, and environmental concerns have increased the demand for safe, sustainable, and domestically produced foods and energy sources. Immokalee has an opportunity to create a new farmers' market or expand the existing state farmers' market to serve the regional demand for fresh produce. Additionally, residents see opportunities emerging from the regional economy and the strategic location of Immokalee in the region. Immokalee will not remain isolated in the future. One state arterial (SR 29) runs through the downtown, while another ends Oust three miles north of downtown (SR 82). A major county road (CR 846, Immokalee Road), connects Immokalee to I - 75. Planned capacity improvements to SR 82 and SR 29 will open up the area to more travel, and planned roadway expansions, including a SR 29 Loop, will further improve the accessibility to and from Immokalee, helping it to become a tourist destination and a distribution center for goods and services. Improvements to the roadway system, both regionally and within the Immokalee Urban Area, are just one part of how the overall transportation network will impact the future. Incentives to encourage economic development at the IMM include the Florida Tradeport which operates within a Foreign Trade Zone (#213), and the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Zone. IMM provides direct access to over 1,000 acres allowing a broad range of aeronautical and industrial uses, and two paved runways equipped for Global Position Satellite (GPS) and instrument approaches. The opportunities available through development of the Tradeport are particularly significant given that in 2012 the Collier County Office of Business and Economic Development (OBED) estimated the County will need an additional 3,685 acres of new business park lands by 2030. The OBED has been working to attract research clusters to Collier County to diversify the economy, which is currently highly dependent on only three industries: agriculture, construction, and tourism and services. The three targeted industry clusters are: health and life science: computer software and servicesi and distribution. Given its location, access to major roads, connectivity with other parts of the state availability of developable land, and the airport, Words underlined are added; words 6tFUGk thFeugI4 are deleted 4/2/2019 Page 26 of 53 0 Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan BCC Transmittal Draft PL20180002258/CPSP-2018-5 Immokalee is a prime location for the new distribution industry that the OBED has identified as being vital to the growth and diversification of Collier County's economy. Another potential for economic growth lies in anticipated development in areas surrounding Immokalee. As new towns in eastern Collier County develop needed government services and departments could be centrally located in Immokalee to serve the eastern portion of the County. III. IMMOKALEE AREA MASTER PLAN PRIORITIES The Immokalee Area Master Plan has been developed to emphasize these identified opportunities and strengths. The first goal specifically makes economic development a priority, and the objectives and policies set forth specific ways to promote and diversify the local economy and create a positive business climate. The second goal focuses on quality neighborhoods. An Immokalee Neighborhood Map has been created by the community to begin the process of evaluating the needs of each neighborhood. Future neighborhood improvements such as housing conditions, water management, transportation, lighting and play areas, are encouraged to elevate the quality of life for Immokalee residents. The third addresses infrastructure and public services. Parks and recreational opportunities to serve the young families in Immokalee are the first public infrastructure item discussed. Transportation is a major component of any community's public infrastructure needs, and while county -wide issues are still dealt with in the county Transportation Element, this portion addresses Immokalee's local roads and needed public safety improvements to protect pedestrians and bicyclists. Other important public services include stormwater management and solid waste, which are addressed as well. The fourth goal addresses significant natural resources within the Immokalee Urban Area and ecotourism opportunities. Land use is an integral component of any master plan. The fifth goalDefines the land use designations applicable to Immokalee and as illustrated on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map Mixed-use pedestrian -scaled development is important as is allowing development in appropriate locations at densities and intensities that will attract new development. Urban form and design are addressed in the sixth goal. These objectives and policies are generally concerned with how to create a theme or brand for Immokalee, provide safe multi- modal transportation and develop site design and development standards appropriate for Immokalee rather than continuing to apply standards developed for coastal Collier. The seventh and last goal is concerned with interlocal and intergovernmental coordination, to address current service issues and to continue collaboration with appropriate organizations in the future.

DENSITY RATING The Density Rating System is applicable to areas designated Urban - Mixed Use District as identified on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map Except as provided below, the final determination of permitted density via implementation of this Density Rating System is made by the Board of County Commissioners through an advertised public hearing process (rezone) in accordance with the LDC. Density achieved by right (as may be permitted for qualifying Affordable Housing projects) shall not be combined with density achieved through the rezone public hearing process. 1. THE DENSITY RATING SYSTEM IS APPLIED IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER: a. Within the applicable Urban designated areas, the base density of the Subdistrict is allowed, thouqh not an entitlement. Density may be increased using applicable density bonuses. For purposes of calculating the eligible number of dwelling units for the project, the total number of dwelling units may be rounded up by one unit if the dwelling unit total yields a fraction of a unit 0.5 or greater. Acreage used for the calculation of density is exclusive of commercial portions of the project, except within the C-1 through C-3 Commercial zoning districts, and except within the Commercial Mixed -Use Subdistrict, wherein residential project densities will be calculated on total gross acreage, and except portions of a project for land uses having an established equivalent residential density in the Collier County Land Development Code. b. This Density Rating System only applies to residential dwelling units. This Density Rating System is not applicable to accessory dwellings or accessory structures. Such accessory dwellings and structures include quest houses, mother-in-law's quarters, cabanas, quest suites, and the like. c. All new residential zoning located within the Urban Mixed -Use District shall be consistent with the Density Rating System, except as provided for in Policy 5.1.6. d. Within the applicable areas of the Urban Mixed -Use District, all properties zoned A, Rural Agricultural, E, Estates, and/or RSF-1, 2, 3, Residential Single Family, for which an affordable housing project is proposed and approved, in accordance with Section 2.06.00 of the LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as amended), shall be permitted the base density of four (4) dwelling units per gross acre by right, except in the case of lands designated LR on the IAMP Future Land Use Map (FLUM), wherein the density shall not exceed 50% of the maximum permitted density of the zoning district for the subject property: that Words underlined are added; words struck -through are deleted 4/2/2019 Page 46 of 53 DO Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan BCC Transmittal Draft PL20180002258/CPSP-2018-5 is, a rezone public hearing shall not be required Such a project must comprise a minimum of ten acres. 2. DENSITY BONUSES To encourage infill development, the creation of affordable housing and preferred roadway access, certain density bonuses are available. If these bonuses are utilized base densities may be exceeded. In the Low Residential Subdistrict the base density of four units per acre may only be exceeded if utilizing an affordable housing bonus In no case shall the resulting density exceed the maximum density specified in each Subdistrict. a. Proximity to Commercial -Mixed Use If 50% or more of a project is within the Commercial - Mixed Use Subdistrict, then the base density allowed within the Commercial - Mixed Use Subdistrict of sixteen (16) dwelling units per acre applies to the entire proiect, except that this bonus cannot be used to increase density on lands within the proiect designated Low Residential. Buffering to achieve compatibility with adjacent lower intensity uses shall be required. b. Affordable Housing Bonus, by Public Hearing To encourage the provision of affordable housing within certain Subdistricts in the Urban Designated Area, a maximum of twelve (12) dwelling units per gross acre may be added to the base density if the project meets the definition and requirements of the Affordable Housing Density Bonus Ordinance (Section 2.06.00 of the Land Development Code, Ordinance 04-41, as amended). c. Affordable Housing Bonus, by Right To encourage the provision of affordable housing within that portion of the Urban Mixed Use District, properties zoned A, Rural Agricultural, E, Estates, RSF-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Residential Single Family, VR, Village Residential, and/or RMF -6 Residential Multi - Family -6, for which an affordable housing proiect is proposed in accordance with the definitions and requirements of the Affordable Housing Density Bonus Ordinance (Section 2.06.00 of the Land Development Code, Ordinance 04-41, as amended), a maximum of four (4) residential units per gross acre shall be added to the base density of four (4) dwelling units per -gross acre, except in the case of lands designated LR on the IAMP Future Land Use Map (FLUM), wherein the bonus shall not exceed 50% of the maximum permitted density of the zoning district for the subject property. Therefore, the maximum density that may be achieved by right shall not exceed eight (6) dwelling units per gross acre. Such a proiect must comprise a_minimum of ten acres. d. Residential Infill 1. To encourage residential infill, three (3) residential dwelling units per gross acre may be added if the following criteria are met: The proiect is twenty (20) acres or less in size: at the time of development, the project will be served by central public water and sewer: at least one abutting property is developed; the proiect is Words underlined are added; words stFUGk thrse6# are deleted 4/2/2019 Page 47 of 53 Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan BCC Transmittal Draft PL20180002258/CPSP-2018-5 compatible with surrounding land uses: the property in question has no common site development plan with adjacent property; there is no common ownership with any adjacent parcels: and the parcel in question was not created to take advantage of the residential infill density bonus and was created prior to January 10 1989 This bonus cannot be used to exceed the base density in the Low Residential (LR) Subdistrict. This Residential Infill bonus shall only be applicable on a one time basis and shall not be expanded or continued to other adiacent properties, except for additional properties not exceeding 20 acres in aggregate when added to the original application of this provision and meeting all the above criteria. e. Roadway Access If the project has direct access to two (2) or more arterial or collector roads or if there is a project commitment for provision of interconnection of roads accessible to the public with existing or future abutting projects, one (1) dwelling unit per gross acre may be added above the base density of the Subdistrict. This bonus cannot be used to exceed the base density in the Low Residential (LR) Subdistrict. 3. DENSITY AND INTENSITY BLENDING a. This provision is intended to encourage unified plans of development and to preserve the high-quality wetlands, wildlife habitat and other natural features that exist within areas of the Immokalee Urban Area which are proximate to Lake Trafford and Camp Keais Strand. In the case of properties which are contiguous to Lake Trafford or Camp Keais Strand, which straddle the Immokalee Urban Area and the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA) as depicted on the countywide Future Land Use Map, and which were in existence and under unified control as of October 22, 2002, the allowable gross density and/or intensity may shifted from the Urban designated lands to lands within the RLSA which are contiguous and under unified control, and which are designated as a Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA) in the RLSA. The density and/or intensity may be shifted on an acre per acre basis. This Density and Intensity Blending provision is further subject to the following conditions and limitations: 1. The project in aggregate must be a minimum of 200 acres in size and the Urban portion must be designated Recreational/Tourist Subdistrict (RT) or Low Residential Subdistrict (LR) in the Immokalee Area Master Plan; 2. It must be demonstrated the lands designated Urban have a high natural resource value as indicated by the presence of Group 1 or Group 2 FLUCCS Codes and a Natural Resource Index score of greater than 1.2 (both as identified on the Stewardship Credit Worksheet in the RLSA); Words underlined are added; words stwsk-thFough are deleted 4/2/2019 Page 48 of 53 COP I Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan BCC Transmittal Draft PL201800022581CPSP-2018-5 3. Density and intensity may only be shifted from lands within the Immokalee Urban Area containing this high natural resource value (as measured above) to the lands within a contiguous SRA on an acre per acre basis providing such lands were under unified control as of October 22, 2002• and Lands within the Urban area from which the density and/or intensity has been shifted, shall be placed in a conservation easement in perpetuity. For properties containing two or more Future Land Use Subdistricts the overall density and/or intensity that could be achieved in aggregate may be distributed throughout the project, provided the total allowable density and/or intensity is not exceeded and further subject to the following: 1. The project furthers the protection, enhancement or restoration of wetlands listed species habitat, or other natural features; 2. The project is consistent with and furthers the applicable objectives of the Immokalee Area Master Plan and is compatible with surrounding properties and environment; 3. The project is approved as a Planned Unit Development; and 4. The project mitigates for any negative impacts on adjacent properties through appropriate measures, such as buffering, separation, or other land design techniques, adequate to lessen these effects.

C. OVERLAYS AND FEATURES 1. Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay The Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the GMP, Policy 6.2.4(4), identifies possible high-quality wetland systems connected to the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand system within the Immokalee Urban Area. These wetlands require -greater protection measures than wetlands located in other portions of the Immokalee Urban Designated Area. These wetlands are identified on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map by the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay (LT/CKSSO). Words underlined are added; words GtFUGk thFough are deleted 4/2/2019 Page 50 of 53 ti =_ Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan BCC Transmittal Draft PL20180002258/CPSP-2018-5 The Density and Intensity Blending provisions of this Master Plan may be utilized for lands within this LT/CKSSO. The maximum allowable gross density for lands within the L_T/CKSSO is the base density established for the applicable Subdistrict. Lands within the LT/CKSSO are not eligible for any density bonuses, including by right. Essential Services shall be limited to: those necessary to ensure public safety: and those necessary to serve permitted uses, such as private wells and septic tanks, utility lines, lift stations, and water pumping stations.
