Schmitt,Chairman (''' Collier County LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT PETITION SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT PL20250000524 To amend the Land Development Code (LDC) to allow applicants of land use ORIGIN petitions, which require a Neighborhood Information Meeting(NIM), the option of advertising the NIM on the County Clerk website instead of in a newspaper or Growth Management other qualifying printed publication. LDC amendments are reviewed by the Board Community Department of County Commissioners (Board), Collier County Planning Commission (GMCD) (CCPC), Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC), and the Land Development Review Subcommittee of the DSAC(DSAC-LDR). HEARING DATES LDC SECTION TO BE AMENDED Board TBD 10.03.05 Required Methods of Providing Public Notice CCPC 05/15/2025 DSAC 04/02/2025 DSAC-LDR 03/18/2025 ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS DSAC-LDR DSAC CCPC Approval with recommendations Approval TBD BACKGROUND In Florida, the requirement for legal notices and advertisements be provided in newspapers dates to the mid- nineteenth century. The Florida Constitution currently requires that all meetings of a collegial public body, at which official acts are to be taken or public business of such body is to be transacted or discussed,be open to the public and properly noticed. Historically,the method of advertising legal notices has been done using printed versions only. However,Florida law changed in 2012, when Section 50.0211 of the Florida Statutes was created, in part,to also require that legal notices be placed on a newspaper's website on the same day the notice appears in the printed edition, contingent upon a newspaper having and maintaining a website. In 2022,the Florida Statutes were further amended to allow governmental agencies the option of publishing legal notices on a publicly accessible website of a county instead of in a printed newspaper or on a newspaper's website. The publicly accessible website was defined by House of Florida Representatives Bill 7049 as "a county's official website or other private website designated by the county for the publication of legal notices and advertisements that is accessible via the Internet." A governmental agency may use the county's website if the cost of publishing advertisements on the website is less than the cost of publishing in the newspaper. The current cost of advertising an ordinance in the Naples Daily News is approximately $1,008.00, which is markedly higher than advertising on the County Clerk's website— approximately $50.00. Furthermore, some types of Land Development Code amendments (ordinances)require two separate public hearings, which means that two separate printed advertisements are often done. Because the cost of advertising on the County's website is significantly less than the cost of advertising in the newspaper, GMCD staff has begun to systematically advertise ordinances on the County Clerk's website instead of in the newspaper—as a means of reducing the burden to the taxpayers. In 2023,the Board desired to amend the Code of Laws and Ordinances to allow advertisements,publications,and notices to be published on a publicly accessible website, as allowed by Chapter 50 of the Florida Statutes. The Board adopted Ordinance 2023-37,which defined"Publicly accessible website"as"the county's official website or other private website designated by the county for the publication of legal notices and advertisements that is accessible via the Internet." The adopted ordinance also included supporting provisions related to the publication of legal advertisements and public notices. On January 10, 2023, the Board designated the Clerk of the Circuit 1 G:\LDC Amendments\Current Work\Publication of Legal Notices(PL20250000524)\Drafts\CCPC\LDCA(04-015-2025)changes since Heidi approved in CityView CLEAN AG.docx (')'' Collier Count Court's public notice website as the County's official website for the publication of legal advertisements and public notices. In Collier County,there are many types of land use applications that require public hearings, and many of these require the petitioner to conduct a Neighborhood Information Meeting (NIM). The NIM requirement was first established in Collier County in 2001,and the purpose and intent of a NIM is to provide the public with notice of an impending zoning application and to foster communication between the petitioner and the public. The petitioner is required to conduct a NIM at least 15 days prior to the first public hearing. Each time a petitioner conducts a qualifying NIM, they are compelled to publicly notice it by advertising in a newspaper. However, because the County requires the petitioner to conduct a NIM as part of its application process, staff feels it is a reasonable courtesy to allow the petitioner the option of advertising the NIM on the County's website in lieu of advertising in the newspaper, similar to the method used by the County when advertising proposed ordinances, both County-initiated and privately initiated. Advertising on the County's website for an upcoming NIM may provide petitioners a cost savings and added convenience. The County's NIM process and its required advertising are not addressed by the Florida Statutes,and if the Board decides to extend this courtesy to the petitioners,it will be necessary to amend the LDC. DSAC-LDR Subcommittee Recommendation: On March 18,2025,the DSAC-LDR Subcommittee recommended approval of the LDC amendment,contingent upon 1)removing"on the website"from the proposed administrative code amendment as it relates to when the public notice is first published; and 2) staff verifying that the cited Florida Statutes are correct. DSAC Recommendation:On April 2,2025,the DSAC recommended approval of the LDC amendment including the changes presented by staff. FISCAL& OPERATIONAL IMPACTS GMP CONSISTENCY There will be no additional fiscal impacts to The proposed LDC amendment has been reviewed by County. To advertise a NIM on the County's Comprehensive Planning staff and may be deemed website, the County Clerk will accept a fee from consistent with the GMP. the petitioner commensurate with the service provided.

Schmitt, Chairman J Collier County LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT PETITION SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT PL20250000235 To comply with F.S. 163.32051 and promote the development of renewable ORIGIN energy, this Land Development Code amendment (LDC) shall allow the Growth Management siting of"floating solar facilities" as an appropriate use of water and land Community Department areas. They are typically located on wastewater treatment ponds, (GMCD) stormwater treatment ponds,reclaimed water ponds, abandoned mines, and other water storage reservoirs. The amendment proposes these types of solar facilities as a permitted use in the Rural Agricultural (A), Public Use (P), and Community Facility (CF)Zoning Districts and as an accessory use in Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts. HEARING DATES LDC SECTION TO BE AMENDED Board TBD 1.08.02 Definitions CCPC 05/15/2025 2.03.01 Agricultural Districts DSAC 04/02/2025 2.03.03 Commercial Zoning Districts DSAC-LDR 03/18/2025 2.03.04 Industrial Zoning Districts 2.03.05 Civic and Institutional Zoning Districts 5.03.08 Floating Solar Facilities (New Section) ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS DSAC-LDR DSAC CCPC Approval with changes Approval with changes TBD BACKGROUND The Florida legislature found that"Floating solar facilities"(FSF),also known as"floatovoltaics,"represents a technology that involves installing solar panels on floating platforms or floating independently, and which can be an effective tool in harnessing energy in bodies of water that have been permitted for storage."Floating solar facilities" are defined by the State in F.S.163.3205 (2)as "... a solar facility which is located on wastewater treatment ponds,abandoned limerock mine areas,stormwater treatment ponds,reclaimed water ponds,or other water storage reservoirs".They are a production facility for electric power,electricity-generating solar panels, affixed to a buoyant structure that keeps them above the surface of the water,and anchored at the bottom and/or to the water body's bank. Lakes,basins, and man-made bodies of water, such as reservoirs, are appropriate locations for floating solar,because the waters are calm compared to the ocean,rivers,or Gulfof America. Useful at any scale for man-made bodies of water,they are subject to physical water bodies limits and the proximity to the electric grid. F.S. 163.32051,became effective law on July 1,2022,and requires local governments to cite these facilities as appropriate uses of water and land areas in their local planning process.The statute stipulates the adoption is to "...promote the use of floating solar facilities by requiring each local government to allow these facilities as a permitted use under certain conditions and amend its land development requirements to promote and expand the use of floating solar facilities." Pursuant to F.S. 163.32051(b),the legislature found that siting floating solar facilities"...are beneficial uses of those areas for many reasons, including the fact that the water has a cooling effect on the solarpanels,which can boost power production,and the fact that the panels help decreasethe amount of water lost to evaporation and the formation of harmful algal blooms." Further, Florida Statutes allows local governments to adopt appropriate standards related to setbacks and buffering,provided that the new standards do not exceed those which are required for similar uses in areas zoned for agricultural uses(see Exhibits A and B). 1 J:\LDC Amen dments\Current Work\Floating Solar Facilities(PL20250000235)\Drafts\PL20250000235 Floating Solar Facilities-CCPC (04- 16-2025).docx (7)' Collier County- Floating solar photovoltaics(FPV)are a relatively new use and an emerging industry,requiring responsible siting of solar energy development and an appropriate use of land.An objective of this amendment is to improve and identify appmpriatesiting locations and avoid areas of potential conflict,such as lands designated for conservation or preservation,including but not limited to an Everglades Agricultural Area Reservoir Project,or Florida's 404 General Permitting program for Water-Based Renewable Energy Generation Pilot Projects. Because the shading from panels can affect photosynthesis in aquatic plants, their location requires careful consideration and placement to avoid potential aquatic plant disruption. In addition,FPVs should not compete with lands used for other purposes,such as productive crop and pasture lands.They assist to retain the economic viability of agriculture and other predominantly rural land areas that do not compete for agriculture,industrial,or residental lands.It is easier to find sites near densely populated areas. Lack of land costs are an added advantage of floating solar systems with fewer competeing uses for development of water bodies,resulting in decreased water evaporation,anticipated lower leasing costs for the solar field when own by a property owner. These type of solar facilities,primarily shift solar energy's increasing demand for land to water, making them more reasonable areas with high land values or strong land conservation policies. FPV installation costs are similar to that of land-based installations,but improved efficiency,energy density,and location availability,with lower site costs(little,if any,land clearing and service access roadway construction), and with an added public benefit of water conservation. Research studies demonstrate the water's cooling effect boosts performance of solar panels. The panels are known to convert sunlight more efficiently when cooler,and are estimated to be 5-15%more energy efficient than land based solar panels.A typical installation on man-made bodies of water is comprised of the following components; floating solar panels, combiner boxes, inverters, mooring systems,electrical cabling to transmit generated electricity to inverters and grid connection points on land(See recent Duke Energy,Florida installations and FPV scematic-Exhibit C).According to current industry practice,FPV installations,face fewer shading issues than ground-mounted systems,since the water surface is flat and systems are often distant from buildings or vegetation. During the planning stage phase,the issue of locating systems further away from bodies ofwaterthat are regularly visited by seabirds,help to avoid potential productivity losses. Bird deterrence systems can be deployed and adequate barrier methods are needed to manage animal activities and prevent animal visits.The positioning of FPV panels are at a lower tilt angle than their land-based counterparts,which allows for panel rows to be spaced much closer to one another.The benefits and siting of FPV relate to land conservation,reduced site-preparation costs, evaporation losses, integrated aquaculture activities, and lessening the demand for cost expensive traditional ground mounted solar facilities. To assure long term successful utilization,FPV maintenance and maintenance plans should be a submittal requirement prior to the issuance of permits. Staff recommends an biennial inspection of the anchor and measurement of tension of mooring line to be done as part of the preventive maintenance plan.When inverters are installed on land,they should be installed under shelter and periodic checks for signs of humidity,corrosion, or water ingress.Back up batteries are warranted pursuant to the manufacturer's warranty.According to the most recent literature, the life span of this type of solar facilities range from 20 to 25 years. For this reason, a decommission plan should be considered that would replace the system at the end of its useful life cycle,including recycling the disassembled materials. For FPV,the administrative code will be amended to address application and site development plan requirements related to panel type,spacing and sizes,location,minimum project size,distance to existing transmission lines and abutting residential uses,water depths, anchoring/mooring system, methods to minimize animal or avian visits,setbacks,buffers and landscaping,and decommissioning plan at end of system performance period. Staff will utilize the recommended assessment of siting and siting characteristices that are derived from the 2019 report produced by the World Bank Group,ESMAP (Energy Sector Management Assistance Program)and SERIS (Solar Energy Research Institute of Signapore).

Policy 1.2.4 of the Immokalee Area Master Plan, states the County must initiate amendments to the LDC that allow agricultural facilities and apparatuses associated with an alternative energy use.These uses will be allowed on properties zoned (A) Agricultural, within the Low Residential Subdistrict land use designation. This amendment serves to implement the policy and support the economic importance of agriculture. Building permits shall be obtained for construction of any structures and/or improvements to the extent required by the Florida Building Code. In the review article, "An interdisciplinary literature review of floating solar power plants"*, the authors conducted a scan and review analysis of existing floating solar related publications (over 900)comprehensively as of October 2024. They scrutinized the FPV literature,dividing them into three main aspects:how FPV design has evolved to support PV panels,how computational and experimental modeling techniques have been used to evaluate and optimize the designs,and interactions between FPV and the water environment.It found that"the design for FPV structures has not yet been standardized and currently no universally accepted set of guidelines or specifications for designing FPV structures"exist.Therefore this LDC amendment does not address the design of FSF and instead focuses upon land use,deployment and installation, long term maintenance and replacement, and environmental interaction. DSAC-LDRSubcommittee Recommendation:On March 18,2025,the subcommittee recommended approval with the following changes:reword"Gulf of Mexico"to"Gulf of America",require the permitted use in Agriculture zoning district to state"to be subject to requirements of LDC section 5.03.08.",consider adding residential zoning districts for approval through the conditional use process, strike number 8 the requirement for fencing,add text that address operations,maintenance and emergency repairs in addition to the deployment and installation plan, and create a new subsection"B" that will allow an applicant to request waivers through the conditional use process. DSAC Recommendation: On April 02, 2025,the committee members voted(9 to 5)to recommend approval subject to defining the term "minimal"impact to natural resources and water quality,adding in LDC section 5.03.08 A.number 9,text that the proposed facilities do not create a hazard to aircraft control from reflective glare and include DSAC-LDR Subcommittee's recommendations. Staff has incorporated the changes.

(b) The Legislature finds that siting floating solar facilities on wastewater treatment ponds, abandoned limerock mine areas. stormwater treatment ponds. reclaimed water ponds. and other water storage reservoirs are beneficial uses of those areas for many reasons, including the fact that the water has a cooling effect on the solar panels,which can boost power production. and the fact that the panels help decrease the amount of water lost to evaporation and the formation of harmful algal blooms. (c) Therefore. the Legislature finds that the siting of floating solar facilities should be encouraged by local governments as appropriate uses of water and land areas. i2) For purposes of this section. the term "floating solar facility"means a solar facility as defined in s. 163.320j(21,which is located on wastewater treatment ponds. abandoned limerock mine areas,stormwater treatment ponds, reclaimed water ponds. or other water storage reservoirs. (3) A floating solar facility shall be a permitted use in the appropriate land use categories in each local government comprehensive plan. and each local government must amend its land development regulations to promote the expanded use of floating solar facilities. (4) A county or municipality may adopt an ordinance specifying buffer and landscaping requirements for floating solar facilities. The requirements may not exceed the requirements for similar uses involving the construction of other solar facilities that are permitted uses in agricultural land use categories and zoning districts. (5) Notwithstanding subsections(3)and (4), a floating solar facility may not be constructed in an Everglades Agricultural Area reservoir project if the local governments involved with the project determine that the floating solar facility will have a negative impact on that project.

SITE IDENTIFICATION The main considerations for assessing site suitability for FPV installations include: Solar resource(solar irradiance at proposed water surface)and local climatic conditions(seasonal variations in weather- temperature range, precipitation, lighting and storm occurrences). Available water surface area(in general,for FPV deployment,one MWp requires roughly 1 hectare or 2.47 acres for the floating island and 1.7 hectares or 4.2 acres of water area,(after taking into account anchoring) and shape (rectangular or square). Bathymetry(shape of boundaries,average depth and depth distribution,structure of water bed and the water body banks, and hydrology). Water quality conditions and impact. Water level (variation over summer/winter months), wave amplitudes, and wind speeds. Subsurface soil conditions (accurate soil analysis and soil structure interaction). Shading(of habitats and species within the littoral and/or linnetic zones),soiling,and other site conditions:(openness and minimal shading,less soiling from dust than land installations,biosoiling (bird droppings-survey of bird species,etc.),avoidance of saltwater or briny coastal systems that create a more corrosive environment for metals, including structural elements,grounding and electrical connectors and wiring,elavate the area for potential soiling(precipitates from the water) or biofouling that can lead to hot spots,provide good airflow around the panels,and create barriers to animals in natural habitats at the site. Environmental Considerations:Natural habitat ofpreserved species,frequency of bird activity,and water species that are sensitive to water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and sunlight. Grid access,substation location,and power availability.Access rights, permits, and regulations. Obtain FAA approval when near a airport that demostrates compliance with standards for measuring ocular impact, such as no potential for glare (flash blindness or distraction) or"low potential for afterimage" along final approach path for existing or future landings. RECOMMENDED SITE CHARACTERISTICS • Be located within 1/2 to 1.8 miles to existing transmission lines: the water body should have a preferred shallow water depth at or between 7'to 15',and be a minimun facility size of two acres. (This is based upon studies that support cost efficiency,power capacity and sustainability for 20 or more years).Landscaping to screen and offset adjacent visual glare and position away from abutting residential uses (minimun 100 feet in distance). • Prohibited in designated Conservation and Preservation areas 19 J:\LDCAmendments\Current Work\Floating Solar Facilities(PL20250000235)\Drafts\PL20250000235 Floating Solar Facilities- CCPC (04-16-2025).docx Exhibit E- Definition of Limnetic Zone t-d•25.11 57 AM Limnetic zone-1A4lopee a WIKIPEDIA • V The Free Encyclopedia Limnetic zone The limnetic zone is the open and well-lit area of a freestanding body of I «3 - fresh water,such as a lake or pond.Not ` �'' } included in this area is the littoral zone, Littoral zone b which is the shallow, near-shore area of • the water body. The key difference ,( open*Mel Zone,w oac zone) between the littoral zone and the limnetic zone is the presence of rooted oeeo-.anr Zone(nprio Zone) plant growth.l'1 The floor under the limnetic zone cannot sustain plant The primary zones of a lake,including the limnetic(photic)zone growth due to a lack of sunlight for photosynthesis. In extremely shallow bodies of water,light may penetrate all the way to floor even in the deepest center parts of the lake.In this situation, there is an absence of a limnetic zone and the littoral zone spans the entire lake.i21 Together,these two zones comprise the photic zone. There are two main sources of oxygen to the photic zone: atmospheric mixing and photosynthesis. Oxygen is dissolved when air interacts with water on the surface,and is increased with wave and wind action•131 Unlike the profundal zone, the limnetic zone is the layer that receives sufficient sunlight, allowing for photosynthesis.141 For this reason,it is often simply referred to as the photic zone.The limnetic zone is the most photosynthetically-active zone of a lake since it is the primary habitat for planktonic species.l51 Because phytoplankton populations are densest here,it is the zone most heavily responsible for oxygen production within the aquatic ecosystem.l51 Limnetic communities are quite complex. Zooplankton populations often consist of copepods, cladocerans,and rotifers occurring in the open water of lakes.Most limnetic communities will consist of one dominant species of copepod, one dominant cladoceran, and one dominant rotifer.l61 Zooplanktons are able to move more freely through the limnetic zone than in the littoral zone,both vertically and horizontally.This is because the bottom of a lake's debris and substrates provide rich habitat niches.l61 A limnetic zooplankton population will usually consist of two to four species,each in a different genus.l61 In addition to zooplankton,organisms in the limnetic zone include insects and fishes.Many species of freshwater fish live in the limnetic zone because of the abundance of food,though these species often navigate into the littoral zone as well.

COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION JOSEPH SCHMITT,CHAIRMAN (')7' Collier County LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT PETITION SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT PL20220003445 This Land Development Code (LDC) amendment shall update the Rural ORIGIN Land Stewardship Area Zoning Overlay District(RLSA District)Standards Growth Management and Procedures to ensure consistency with the recently adopted changes Plan(GMP) that were made to the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay in the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the GMP, pursuant to Ordinance 2021-28. LDC amendments are reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners (Board), Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC), Development Services Advisory Committee(DSAC),and the Land Development Review Subcommittee of the DSAC (DSAC-LDR). HEARING DATES LDC SECTIONS TO BE AMENDED Board TBD 4.08.01 Specific Definitions Applicable to the RLSA District CCPC 05/15/2025 4.08.04 Implementation of Stewardship Credits DSAC 11/02/2022 4.08.05 Baseline Standards DSAC-LDR 09/21/2022 4.08.06 SSA Designation 4.08.07 SRA Designation ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS DSAC-LDR DSAC CCPC Approval with recommendations Approval TBD BACKGROUND In 1999, the State of Florida imposed a Final Order(Case No. ACC-99-002 and DOAH Case No. 98-0324GM) on Collier County,directing the County to perform a three-year Rural and Agricultural Assessment of the GMP to identify measures to protect agricultural areas, direct incompatible land uses away from wetlands and upland habitat,and to assess the growth potential of the County's rural areas. The was to occur while discouraging urban sprawl, directing incompatible land uses away from critical habitat, and encouraging development that utilizes creative land use planning techniques. In 2002, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) established the Rural Lands Stewardship Area program under the FLUE of the GMP, pursuant to Ord. 2002-54. The objective was to create an incentive-based land use overlay system founded upon the principles of rural land stewardship as defined in Chapter 163.3177(11),F.S.,now in Chapter 163.3248,F.S. The Rural Lands Stewardship Area Zoning Overlay District (RLSA District) regulations were initially adopted into the LDC on June 16, 2003,pursuant to Ord. 2003-27. Subsequent amendments to the RLSA District in the LDC occurred in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2010. The RLSA District includes important environmental and agricultural assets,most of which are on privately held land. On February 10, 2015, the Board directed staff to initiate "restudies" of four GMP master plans, one of which being the RLSA. The RLSA restudy began in January 2018,culminating in the creation of an RLSA White Paper, which was presented to the Board in October 2019. At this meeting,the Board directed staff to(1)bring forward GMP amendments for the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay in the FLUE, (2) develop a regional water partnership to address regional water matters,and(3)draft LDC amendments to address the characteristics of the Stewardship Receiving Area(SRA). A GMP amendment(PL20190002292)involving the RLSA Overlay in the FLUE was approved by the Board on July 13,2021,pursuant to Ord.2021-28. The changes to the administrative code are shown in Exhibit A and will require a separate resolution. This LDC amendment shall implement the updates that were made to the GMP last summer. The noteworthy LDC amendment changes are identified and summarized in Exhibit B. The pertinent GMP Policies are summarized in Exhibit C. 1 C:\Users\Jamessabo\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\45VR80E0\LDCA(04-14-2025).docx ('' Collier Count DSAC-LDR Subcommittee Recommendation: The DSAC-LDR Subcommittee recommended approval of this LDC amendment on September 21, 2022, subject to the following: 1. Wherever it states dark sky compliant lighting principles,the Subcommittee is not in favor of that terminology and to instead use the language from Policy 5.7 of the GMP, and that a future LDC amendment should be considered for lighting guidance in general. 2. Clarify the sentence on lines 16-18 on page 33 (LDC section 4.08.06 B.6.f.),which currently reads: "Only one type of restoration shall be rewarded with these Credits for each acre designated for restoration and in no case shall more than ten(10)Credits be awarded per acre,"and that staff would consider inserting a chart to makes it easier to follow. 3. Clarify the verbs on page 31 (i.e.,received,awarded,assigned,rewarded)under restoration stewardship credits, to be made consistent to the extent necessary to understand the intent. 4. Include the walk-on changes to the LDC amendment, as presented by staff at the meeting. 5. Include the administrative code changes,provided the changes are consistent with what we just discussed. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS GMP CONSISTENCY There are no fiscal or operational impacts to The proposed LDC amendment has been reviewed by the County. Developers will be required to Comprehensive Planning staff and may be deemed submit an SRA Mobility Plan. consistent with the GMP.

Establishment of a Stewardship Credit Database. As part of the initial implementation of 30 the RLSA Overlay, the County Manager or designee shall cause to be developed a 31 Stewardship Credit Database to track the generation (by SSAs) and consumption (by 32 SRAs) of Stewardship Credits within the RLSA District. The database shall be in an 33 electronic form that can be linked to the RLSA Overlay Map and can readily produce 34 reports that will afford convenient access to the data by the public. The database shall be 35 updated upon approval of an SSA or SRA Designation Application and Credit Agreement. 36 37 B. Authorization to Establish a Stewardship Credit Trust. As part of the implementation of 38 the RLSA Overlay, the County may elect to acquire Credits through a publicly funded 39 program. Should the County pursue this option, the County shall establish a Stewardship 40 Credit Trust to receive and hold Credits until such time as they are sold, transferred or 41 otherwise used to implement uses within SRAs. Nothing herein shall preclude the County 42 from permanently "retiring" those credits received or held. 43 44 C. Density. Except as provided in herein, there shall be no change to the underlying density 45 and intensity of permitted uses of land within the RLSA District, as set forth in the Baseline 46 Standards, until a property owner elects to utilize the provisions of the Stewardship Credit 47 System pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.08.04. No part of the Stewardship Credit 48 System shall be imposed upon a property owner without that owner's written consent. It is 49 the intent of the RLSA District Regulations that a property owner will be compensated 50 consistent with Policy 3.8 of the RLSA Overlay for the voluntary stewardship and 8 C:\Users\Jamessabo\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\45VR80E0\LDCA(04-14-2025).docx DRAFT Text underlined is new text to be added ,,t, ,c be deleted 1 protection of important agricultural and natural resources. The Baseline Standards will 2 remain in effect for all land not subject to the transfer or receipt of Stewardship Credits. 3 4 D. Creation of Stewardship Credits/General. Stewardship Sending Area Credits (Credits) 5 may be created from any lands within the RLSA District from which one or more Land Use 6 Layers are eliminated remove--. These lands will be identified as SSAs. All privately owned 7 lands within the RLSA District are candidates for designation as an SSA. Land becomes 8 designated as an SSA upon petition by the property owner seeking such designation as 9 outlined herein. A Stewardship Sending Area Credit Agreement shall be developed that 10 identifies those land uses, which have been eliminated . Once land is designated 11 as an SSA and Credits or other compensation is granted to the owner, no increase in 12 density or additional uses that are not expressly identified in the Stewardship Sending 13 Area Agreement shall be allowed on such property. 14 15 E. Transfer of Stewardship Credits/General. Credits can be transferred only to lands within 16 the RLSA District that meet the defined suitability criteria and standards set forth in Section 17 4.08.07 A.1. and that have been designated as SRAs. The procedures for the 18 establishment and transfer of Credits and SRA designation are set forth herein. 19 Stewardship Credits will be exchanged for additional residential or non-residential 20 entitlements in an SRA on a per acre basis. SRA density and intensity will thereafter differ 21 from the Baseline Standards. 22 23 F. Allocation of Stewardship Credits/General. Stewardship Credits generated from one SSA 24 may be allocated to one or more SRAs, and an SRA may utilize Stewardship 25 Credits generated from one or more SSAs. 26 27 G. Seven Year Comprehensive Review. 28 29 1. Many of the tools, techniques, and strategies of the RLSA Overlay are new, 30 innovative, and incentive-based. and--have yet to be tested ill aGtuul 31 ;i m o: Conee-que,-, -y uune 2008 and nt .urh..subsequent times as 32 learned appropriate by the BCC-the The County shall prepare and submit to DCA 33 for review a comprehensive analysis of the RLSA Overlay every seven years, 34 beginning on July 13, 2021, to assess the participation and effectiveness of the 35 RLSA Overlay implementation in meeting the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of 36 the RLSA Overlay by utilizing the measures of review delineated in Policy 1 27 37 1.21 of the FLUE. The County shall encourage public participation in the review 38 process through publicly noticed workshops and meetings and through the 39 solicitation of public input. 40 41 2. Subsequent to the seven-year , , review, the RLSA Overlay and RLSA 42 District Regulations may be amended in response to the County's assessment and 43 evaluation of the participation in and effectiveness of the Stewardship Credit 44 System. 45 46 3. The value, exchange rate, and use of Stewardship Credits shall be governed by 47 the RLSA Overlay and RLSA District Regulations in effect at the time the SSA from 48 which those credits are generated is approved. The Restoration Stewardship 49 Credits shall be governed by the RLSA Overlay and RLSA District Regulations in 50 effect at the time that such Restoration Stewardship Credits are authorized by the 51 BCC. 9 C:\Users\Jamessabo\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.outlook\45VR80E0\LDCA(04-14-2025).docx DRAFT Text underlined is new text to be added Text tri.lr8threunh iscurrent text to be rl 5,et 5r. 1 2 H. Stewardship Credit Cap. The total number of Stewardship Credits shall be capped at 3 404,000 to entitle no more than 45,000 acres of Stewardship Receiving Areas. Generating 4 Stewardship Credits does not presume approval of Stewardship Receiving Areas. 5 6 4.08.05 - Baseline Standards 7 8 All lands within the RLSA District have been delineated on the RLSA Overlay Map. Unless 9 and until designated as an SSA or SRA, lands within the RLSA District shall remain subject to the 10 Baseline Standards. 11 12 A. Purpose and intent. These Baseline Standards will remain in effect for all land within the 13 RLSA District unless or until such land becomes subject to the transfer or receipt of 14 Stewardship Credits, except as to those agricultural uses subject to sections 15 W163.3162(3);63-.3162 _. and 823.14(6), Florida Statutes. The Baseline Standards are 16 intended to protect water quality and quantity, maintain the natural water regime, and 17 protect listed animal and plant species or species of special concern as defined by the 18 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) and their habitats on land 19 that has not been designated as an SSA or SRA. The opportunity to voluntarily participate 20 in the Stewardship Credit Program, as well as the right to sell conservation easements or 21 a fee or lesser interest in the land, shall constitute compensation for the loss of any 22 development rights related to these standards. 23 24 B. Applicability of code. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this section 4.05.00, 25 those provisions of this Code in effect as of July 25, 2000, shall apply to all land within the 26 RLSA District unless or until such lands become subject to the transfer or receipt of 27 Stewardship Credits. 28 29 C. Private lands delineated FSAs, HSAs, acid WRAs, and Restoration Areas. Lands 30 delineated FSA, HSA, WRA, or Restoration Areas on the RLSA Overlay Maprlay 31 have been identified through data and analysis as having a higher quality natural 32 resource value than those lands not delineated. Although any land within the RLSA District 33 can be designated as an SSA, generally those lands delineated FSAs, HSAs, and WRAs 34 are the most likely candidates for designation because of the higher credit values applied 35 to lands with those delineations. 36 37 D. Private lands delineated as open. Lands not otherwise classified as FSA, HSA, WRA 38 or Restoration Areas are delineated as"open"on the RLSA Overlay Map and 39 are generally of a lower natural resource quality. Open lands may be designated as either 40 SSAs or SRAs. 41 42 E. Area of critical state concern (ACSC). The RLSA District includes lands that are within the 43 ACSC. Those ACSC lands are depicted on the RLSA Overlay Map overlay r and are 44 eligible for designation as SRAs, subject to additional standards set forth in subsection 45 4.08.07 A.2. All ACSC regulations continue to apply to ACSC lands within the RLSA 46 District regardless of designation. 47 48 F. Public or private conservation lands. Those lands within the RLSA District that are held in 49 public ownership or in private ownership as conservation lands may be delineated on the 50 RLSA Overlay Map as FSA, HSA, or WRA but are not eligible for designation 51 as either an SSA or SRA. 10 C:\Users\Jamessabo\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\45VR80E0\LDCA(04-14-2025).docx DRAFT Text underlined is new text to be added Tgxt Vgca r g,,er d 1 2 G. No increase in density or intensity within the RLSA District is permitted beyond the 3 Baseline Standards except in areas designated as SRAs.

The new parking standard, which indicates, "Parking for non-residential uses may be provided on-street, off-street, and within parking structures" was modeled after the Babcock Mixed Use Residential Commercial(MURC) Subdistrict in Charlotte County,Florida. In addition, new standards, which are duplicated in the Village Center criteria, include parking requirements based on modal splits and demands from reputable industry leaders, such as the ITE,ULI,or other source or study. The new sign standards were modeled after the Town Core criteria. The standards relative the uses were modeled upon Table C. D.I and the Babcock MURC. The new maximum building height of 4 stories was developed as a comprise between the old Hamlet limitation (3.5 stories) and the Village Center limitation(5 stories). The new setbacks standards were developed using the old Hamlet Neighborhood Edge criteria. The new standards relative to residential and supporting non-residential uses were developed by using Table C. D.!. and the old Town Neighborhood General criteria from Hamlets. The maximum building height of 3 stories was derived as a compromise between old Hamlet criteria(3.5 stories) and RSF-1 and RSF-2 standards(35 feet). The "Residential uses in the CRD shall be located abutting residentially zoned lands where feasible" reflects strategic opportunity signs subdistricts standards in a newly proposed and independent GMP amendment. • Updating Design Criteria Common to SRAs relative to infrastructure, vehicular and pedestrian connections, roads and signalized intersections, and the mitigation of traffic impacts are being added, to conform to GMP Policy 4.14. • Updating SRA Public Facilities Impact Assessments by requiring consistency between the LRTP and Access Management procedures, to conform to GMP Policy 4.5 and adding mitigation measures, to conform to GMP Policy 4.14.
