EXHIBIT "A"
INTRODUCTION:
[New text, page 1]
Chapter 163.3177(6)(e). Florida Statutes. requires each local government comprehensive
plan to have "A recreation and open space element indicating a comprehensive system of
public and private sites for recreation. including. but not limited to. natural reservations.
parks and playgrounds. parkways. beaches and public access to beaches. open spaces. and
other recreational facilities." However. Chapter 91-5.014. Florida Administrative Code.
which formerly contained the Florida Department of Community Affairs' "Minimum
Standards" for review of local Recreation and Open Space Elements. has been deleted.
Thus. while the Recreation and Open Space Element remains a requirement for local
comprehensive plans in the State of Florida. the format and contents of such an Element
may be tailored to local needs. provided that the intent of the Statute is met. This
Recreation and Open Space Element was recently updated. as recommended by the
Community Character/ Smart Growth Advisory Committee. by Ordinance No. 2003-67.
adopted on December 16.2003. to further implement the Collier County Community
Character Plan and "Smart Growth" principles.
The Recreation and Open Space Element is divided into three sections. each of which is
guided by a specific goal. These three sections are:
. The general provision of parks. recreation facilities and open space areas for the
use and enioyment of Collier County residents and visitors.
. The development of a countywide neighborhood park system.
. The development of a countywide regional and community park system.
Within Collier County government. the responsibility for overseeing the implementation
of the above goals is assigned to the Collier County Parks and Recreation Department.
which is part of the Public Services Division.
