Agenda 07/13/2021 Item #16A23 (Amending Golden Gate Areas Master Plan)07/13/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a resolution amending the Administrative Code for Land
Development, which was created by Ordinance No. 2013-57, to change the timing of the soil and/or
groundwater sampling results for golf course conversion, by amending Chapter Three, Quasi-
Judicial Procedures with a Public Hearing, more specifically Section K, Compatibility Design
Review and Chapter Four, Administrative Procedures, Section N, Intent to Convert Application for
Golf Course Conversions; and to increase the mailed public notification distance requirement for
land use petitions within the Rural and Urban Golden Gate Estates of the Golden Gate Area
Master Plan by amending Chapter Eight, Public Notice - Generally, Contents, Categories of Notice,
and Notice Recipients, Section C, and providing an effective date. (This is a companion item to
17C).
OBJECTIVE: To obtain Board approval of the proposed amendments to the Collier County
Administrative Code for Land Development.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Administrative Code provides for specific approval procedures for
implementing the Growth Management Plan. This Administrative Code amendment is a companion
item to two Land Development Code (LDC) amendments that include updates to existing sections.
The updated Administrative Code sections and changes are described as follows:
1. Chapter 3 N. Intent to Convert Application for Golf Course Conversions.
The purpose of this amendment is to allow an applicant flexibility in the development review process
by deferring the timing of required soil and/or groundwater sampling. The amendment allows
deferral from the original timing of sampling which is currently required at the time of the first
development order. It also relocates additional sampling requirements fo r golf course conversions,
from LDC section 5.05.15 Conversion of Golf Courses, to the general environmental requirements in
LDC section 3.08.00 A.4. d.
2. Chapter 3 K. Compatibility Design Review
This amendment adds a cross reference to LDC section 3.08.00 A 4.d to provide flexibility to when
soil and groundwater sampling requirements are required.
3. Chapter 8 C. Mailed Notice
This amendment implements the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP), policies, 4.2.4 of the
Rural Golden Gate Estates Sub-Element and 3.2.4 of the Urban Golden Gate Estates. The GGAMP
was adopted by the Board on September 24, 2019. The companion LDC amendment increases the
written public notification distances for land use petitions in both, the Rural and Urban Estates
designated areas to one mile.
DSAC RECOMMENDATION: The Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC) is
recommending approval for Chapters 3. K and 3.N, as presented, for Chapter 8 C., the mailed notice
distance be increased from 1,000 feet to 2,500 feet for the Rural Golden Gate Estates designated area
and 500 feet to 1,500 feet for the Urban Golden Gate Estates designated area.
CCPC RECOMMENDATION: The Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) is
recommending approval For Chapters 3. K and 3.N, as presented, and for Chapter 8.C amendment,
the mailed notice distance be increased to one mile for both the Rural and Urban Golden Gate Estates
designated areas of the GGAMP.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the County. Costs associated with mailed notices
are the responsibility of the petitioner.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with
this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: If the companion LDC amendments are not approved, then this
item will be withdrawn. This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority for
Board approval. (HFAC)
RECOMMENDATION: To approve the proposed Resolution amending Ordinance No. 2004-66, as
amended, the Collier County Administrative Code for Land Development and direct s taff as to any
changes.

BACKGROUND
Per LDC section 5.05.15 G.6., soil and/or groundwater sampling is currently required at the time of application of
all zoning actions, Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA) amendments, and Compatibility Design Review
applications which are processed subsequently to completing the requirements of the Intent to Convert (ITC)
application from a golf course to non-golf course use.
Additionally, LDC section 3.08.00 A.4.d.ii. requires the soil and/or groundwater sampling to be completed at the
time of the first development order submittal.
This amendment is intended to grant an applicant flexibility in the development review process by deferring the
required soil and/or groundwater sampling to no later than the time of the early work authorization (EWA), site
development plan (SDP), or subdivision plat (PPL) submittal. These application types represent the first
development order when earthwork may occur. The amendment also relocates portions of the existing LDC
section 5.05.15 G.6. to LDC section 3.08.00 A.4.d.ii.a. In LDC section 5.05.15 G.6, the revised text maintains a
cross reference to LDC section 3.08.00 A.4.d., Environmental Data Requirements.
A revised companion Administrative Code amendment is required to modifiy the Application Content section of
Chapters 3.K (item 11) and 4.N (item 16).
FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS
There are no anticipated fiscal or operational
impacts to the County associated with this
amendment.
GMP CONSISTENCY
The proposed LDC amendment has been reviewed by
Comprehensive Planing staff and may be deemed
consistent with the GMP.

BACKGROUND
On September 24, 2019 the Board adopted two GGAMP policies, 4.2.4 of the Rural Golden Gate Estates Sub-
Element and 3.2.4 of the Urban Golden Gate Estates Sub-Element. These policies stipulate the County shall
initiate a review of written public notification to homeowners for land use petitions in the Rural and Urban Golden
Gate Estates area in the LDC and Administrative Code. Recognizing the low-density characteristics of the Urban
and Rural Golden Gate, the policies objectives are to consider increasing the notification distance with particular
attention to be given to properties located on dead-end Estates streets or avenues. Further, the GGAMP restudy
2017 white paper suggested the notice requirements be extended the length of any dead-end street or avenue where
a direct transportation or aesthetic impact can be anticipated.
Currently, mailed notices for land use petitions are sent to property owners within 500 feet of the property lines
of the subject property for areas in the urban designated area of the future land use element of the GMP and within
1,000 feet for all other areas. For the Rural and Urban Golden Gate Estates area, the mailed notice requirement
for land use petitions has been 1,000 feet from the subject property.
To evaluate different notification distances and compare the percentage of parcel notifications captured within the
prescribed areas, staff performed an analysis of four areas. The notification distances utilized were 1,000 feet,
1,500 feet, 2,000 feet and 2,500 feet from the subject properties. The four GGAMP Estates designations studied
were; the Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict (56.50 acres), Wilson Blvd./Golden Gate Blvd.
Neighborhood Center (18.34 acres), Golden Gate Parkway Institutional Subdistrict (16.30 acres) and Golden Gate
Blvd/Everglades Blvd. Neighborhood Center (18.34 acres). Abutting transitional conditional use parcels, which
are areas located between an existing non-residential and residential area, were also included. All notification
distances intersect several dead-end streets or avenues which typically stop due to a perpendicular canal or
drainage flow way. Exhibit A illustrates the number and percentages of dead-end street or avenue parcels captured
by each of the notification distances.
Based on the selected areas, staff is recommending the public notification distance be extended from 1,000 feet to
2,500 feet. This notification distance had captured more the half of the parcels on dead end streets and in one case
94.8 percent of the dead-end street parcels. By adopting this notification distance, staff is able to automate the
notification to property owners without having to perform a manual review of all parcels on each intersecting

dead-end street. It shall minimize the level of effort and added expense of staff time to manually identify each
dead-end street parcel outside of the increased notification distance.
DSAC Recommendation
The subcommittee unanimously recommended approval with the following change:
• The mailed notice distance should remain 2,500 feet for the designated areas of the Rural Golden Gate
Estates Sub-Element of the GGAMP and change to 1,500 feet in the designated areas of the Urban Golden
Gate Estates Sub-Element of the GGAMP. The recommended change to the mailed notification distance
for the Urban Golden Estates area was determined to be excessive and consistent with the same distance
requirement of 1,500 feet for a golf course conversion to a non-golf course use public notice.
CCPC Recommendation
After DSAC’s recommendation of approval, staff was asked to evaluate and assess the effect of public notification
distances at one-mile, three-miles, and five miles for the Rural and Urban Golden Gate Estates designated areas
and check other Florida communities’ public notification distance requirements.
As presented to the CCPC, Exhibit B illustrates the results of parcels captured within the Golden Gate Estates
Rural designated areas for each of the increased notification distances and the various notification distances to
seven Florida counties. Staff has included a summary table of the current and recommended distances by Staff,
DSAC and the CCPC for Board consideration. <
The CCPC recognized the majority of dead-end streets in Golden Gate Estates area, are “nine tenths of a mile or
greater” in length and accordingly a greater distance than 2,5000 feet should be considered. Further, the cost of
mailing the notices would be at the expense of the petitioner and not the County. After discussion, the CCPC
unanimously recommended approval to increase the public notification distance to one mile for both the Urban
and Rural Golden Gate Estates designated areas.
The CCPC’s recommendation has been incorporated in the amendment.
FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS
There will be an added expense to notify
additional properties by the petitioner.
GMP CONSISTENCY
The proposed amendment has been reviewed by the
Comprehensive Planning staff and may be deemed
consistent with the Rural Golden Gate Estates Sub-
Element and Urban Golden Gate Estates Sub-Element of
the Golden Gate Area Master Plan.
