Rural Fringe Mixed-Use District (RFMU District). 27 28 1. Purpose and scope. The purpose and intent of the RFMU District is to provide a 29 transition between the Urban and Estates Designated lands and between the 30 Urban and Agricultural/Rural and Conservation designated lands farther to the 31 east. The RFMU District employs a balanced approach, including both regulations 32 and incentives, to protect natural resources and private property rights, providing 33 for large areas of open space, and allowing, in designated areas, appropriate 34 types, density and intensity of development. The RFMU District allows for a mixture 35 of urban and rural levels of service, including limited extension of central water and 36 sewer, schools, recreational facilities, commercial uses, and essential services 37 deemed necessary to serve the residents of the RFMU District. The innovative 38 planning and development techniques which are required and/or encouraged 39 within the RFMU District were developed to preserve existing natural resources, 40 including habitat for listed species, to retain a rural, pastoral, or park-like 41 appearance from the major public rights-of-way, and to protect private property 42 rights. 43 44 a.

Port of the Islands, Copeland, and Plantation Island. Port of the Islands, Copeland, and 11 Plantation Island are developments located within the Urban Designated Area, but are 12 also located within the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern.

This does not exempt 27 development orders required pursuant to Chapter 10 of the Code. There is also an 28 agreement for Plantation Island, between the Board of County Commissioners and the 29 Florida Department of Community Affairs Commerce, to allow site alteration, including 30 dredging and filling of up to 2,500 square feet, regardless of the predevelopment 31 vegetation.

The innovative planning and development techniques which are required and/or encouraged within the RFMU District were developed to preserve existing natural resources, including habitat for listed species, to retain a rural, pastoral, or park-like appearance from the major public rights-of-way, and to protect private property rights. a.
