SUPPORT DOCUMENT: LAND USE DATA AND ANALYSIS (Separate Table of Contents) SUMMARY The Future Land Use Element includes three major sections: Overview. Implementation Strategy, And Land Use Data and Analysis. The Overview simply provides an introduction as to the purpose, basis, underlying concepts and special issues addressed by the Element. The Implemental. ion Slrategy is where the Element is brought into effect. Included are the Goals. Objectives, Policies and Future Land Use Map. The third section consists of Support Document: Land Use Data and Analysis. The information found there provides a basis for the Implementation Strategy and serves to meet the requirements of Section 9J-5.006. Florida Administrative Code, minimum requirements for the Future Land Use Element. I. OVERVIEW A. PURPOSE The geographic framework for growth in Collier County is established by the Future Land Use Element. As such,/he Element is central to planning for and management of natural resources, public facilities, coastal development, housing and urban design. The Element is also important Io the County's system of land development regulations and to private property rights. The purpose of the Future Land Use Element is to guide decision-making by Collier County on regulatory, financial and programmatic matters pertaining to land use. Most directly, this Element controls the location, type, intensity and timing of new or revised uses of land. The land use strategy in this Element is closely coordinated with a strategy for provision of public facilities as found in tho Capital Improvements and Public Facility Elements of the Comprehensive Plan. B. BASIS This Element is based in large part on the Future Land Use Element adopted as part of the 1983 and 1989 Collier Counly Comprehensive Plans. The land use strategy put forth in those Plans have servod Collier County well, therefore, a general continuation is provided. The best characteristics of the 1983 and 1989 Comprehensive Plans incJuded the use of a binding Future Land Use Map with alesignaled "Urban" areas and the confinement of intensive Zoning Districts, thus intensive land uses, to those areas. In addition, this Element is based on the Support Document: Land Use Data and Analysis, and the summation of the detailed planning conducted for each of the other portions of the Comprehensive Plan. Data, analysis and implementation strategies from the various elements have contributed to the geographic framework through the configuration of the designations on the Future Land Use Map and the associated standards for use of land. The State Comprehensive Plan and the Southwest Florida Regional Comprehensive Policy Plan form another basis for the Future Land Use Element. Chapter 163, Flodda Statutes, the "Local ' Comprehensiye ,Planning .and.Land Development Regula.tion Acff andChapter 9J-5, Flodda . Administrative Code, "Minimum Cdteiia for Review of'Local Comprehensive Plans and Delormination o~' Compliance," provide detailed requirements on the scope and content of tho Element. Finally, major contributions to this Element have been provided by the public through the Collier County Citizens Advisory Committee In conjunction with the Evaluation and Appraisal Report adopted by the Board of County Commissioners tn April, 1996, the Collier County Planning - Commission, which is the local planning agency, and other groups and individuals. C. UNDERLYING CONCEPTS The land use strategy established by this Element is based on a series of concepts which emerge from the foundation cited earlier. The policy direction and implementation mechanisms closely relate to these underlying concepts. Protection of Natural Resource .Systems Collier County is situated in an unique, sensitive and intensely interactive physical environment. Natural resources are abundant: a subtropical climate with annual wet and dry seasons; enormous groundwater productivity; vast wetland areas; large ranges of habitat with diverse and unique flora and fauna; extensive and highly productive estuarine systems; and many miles of sandy beach. These natural resources perform functions which are vital to the health, safety and welfare of the human population of the County, and serve as a powerful magnet to attract and retain visitors and 3 iii I III I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII residents. Therefore, protection and management of natural resources for long-term viability is essential to support the human population, ensure a high quality of life, and facilitate economic devdopmont. Important to this concopl is management of natural resources on a system-wide basi'~. The Future land Use Element is designed to protect and manage natural resource systems in several ways. Urban Designated Areas on the Future Land Use Map are located and configured to guide concentrated population growth and intensive land development away from areas of great sensitivity and toward areas more tolerant to development. Within the Urban Designated Areas this Element encourages Planned Unit Development zoning and assigns maximum permissible residential density based on lhe gross land area. Through site plan review procedures in the Land Development Regulations land alteration and construction is guided to the portions of the property more tolerant to development, thus, in effect, an on-site transfer of development dghts. Also, a broader Transfer of Development Rights provision exists in the Land Development Regulations. An Area of Critical State Concern eveday is included on the Fuluro Land Use Map to ensure implementation of all applicable Land Dovelopmenl Regulations in the Okaloacoochee Slough, Big Cypress Swamp, Fakahatchee Strand and Ten Thousand Islands areas. The County's Land Development Regulations provide st&,'~dards for protection of groundwaler, particularly in close vicinity Io public water supply wells as explained in the Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Element. Of crucial impc,'lance to the relationship between natural resources and land use is the completion and implementation of multi-objective watershed management plans as described in the Drainage Element. Water is the greatest integrator of the physical environment in that it links together dynamic ecological and human systems. Therefore, the watershed management plan must take into account not only the need for drainage and flood protection but also the need to maintain water table levels and an approximation of natural discharge to estuaries. The watershed management plans will have implications for both water management and land use practic.';s. ...... Fipally, natural resources are also protected .through dose spatial and temporal coordination of land .. · development with the availability of adequate infrastructure (public or pdvate facilities) to ensure optimized accommodation of human impacts, particularly in relation to water supply, sewage Ireatment, and management of solid waste. This coordination is accomplished through the provision of public facilities as detailed in the Capital Improvements and Public Facility Elements and through the Level of Service Standards found herein. Coordlrlatiop of Land Use and Public Facilities At the heart of Florida's Growth Management Act (Chapter 163, Florida Statutes) is the requirement that adequate service by public fadlilies must be available at the time of demand by new development. This requirement is achieved by spatial coordination of public facilities with land uses through the Future Land Use Map; and temporal coordination through Level of Service Standards. The Level of Service Standards are binding - no final local Development Order may be issued which is not consistent with the Concurrency Management System. Binding Level of Service Standards have been established for roads, water supply, sewage treatment. water management, solid waste and parks. While the standards in the Capital Improvements and Public Facility E!ements serve to guide public provision of infrastructure, within the context of the Future Land Use Element the Standards serve to assure the availability of adequate facilities whether public or pdvate. The Urban Service Area concept manifested in this Element is crucial to successful coordination of land development and the provision o1' adequate public facilities. It is within Urban Designated Areas on the Future Land Use Map that the more intensive Zoning Districts are permissible, thus 4 tile more intensive land uses. Since Urban Designated Areas are where intensive land uses are guided, it is also where fiscal ¢esources are concentrated for the provision of roads, water supply, sewage treatment and water management. Also, facilities and services such as parks, government buildings, schools and emergency services are primarily located within Urban Designated Areas. Outside of the Urban Designated Areas only lower intensity land use is permissible, thus fewer roads and a lower level of water management is provided, and there is no, or very limited, central water and sewer. It is important that the Urban Designated Area not be so large that public facilities cannot be efficiently and effectively planned for and delivered; and not be so small that the supply of land available for development is extremely limited with resulLant lack of site selection options and competition leading to elevated land pdces. It is also important that the time frames for land use and public facility planning be coordinated as discussed later in this Overview. Management of Co_as~.tal Dpvelppme.nt 'two major coastal development Issues in Collier County are the protection of natural resources and the balancing of risk in natural hazard areas. Exlensive populated areas in Collier County are vulnerable to periodic salt wa~er inundation from tropical storms. It is extremely importan'. that an acceptable balance betwe0:n at-risk population and evacuation capability be achieved. In addition, public and private investment in such vulnerable areas must be carefully considered. This issue is addressed here and in the Conservation and Coastal Manage~nent Element through several measures. A Coastal Management Area is identified on the Future Land Use Map essentially as all lands seaward of US 41. This line is based on the close fit to the storm Category 1 SLOSH area (potential for salt water flooding from 1 storm in 12 years) and evacuation planning areas. Within the Coastal Management Area maximum permissible residential density is limited in recognition of the level of dsk, the existing deficiency of evacuation shelter space and existing patterns of density. A Coastal High Hazard Area is identified in Conservation and Coastal Management Element and policies are provided. Finally, coastal natural hazards are addressed through Land Development Regulations already in effect relating to coastal building standards, per Chapter 161, Flodda Statutes, and protection. of structures from floods, per County participation in the FEMA Flood Insurance Program. Proyislorl ,of Adequate and Affordable Housinq An emerging issue in Collier County is the availability of adequate and affordable housing for low and moderate income populations. The Future Land Use Element encourages the creation of affordable housing through provisions which allow for increased residential density if the proposed dwelling units would be affordable based on the standards found in the Hot'sing Element. .A~tainment of HighQuality Urban Design, The report of the Regional/Urban Design Team for the Naples area, dated Apd11987, and subsequent recommendations of the PJUDAT Citizen Committee, provide aaother underlying concept. While the Growth Management Plan as a whole provides the req~,isite l~oundation for superior urban design through a sound framework for growth (protection of natural resources, thoughtful guidance of land uses, adequate public facilities and adequate housing), the Future Land Use Element provides several additional measures. Major altention is given to the patterns of commercial development in Collie, County. Concern about commercial development relates to transportation impacts both on a r nicro (access to road network) and macro (distribution of trip attractors and resultant overall traffi~ circulation) level and it relates to aesthetics and sense of place. Within the Traffic Circulation Element a commitment to adopt standards for road access has been accomplished through the Access Control Policy adopted by Resolution and the Access Management Plans for Mixed Use Activity Centers included in the Land Development Regulations. The Future Land U:;,? Element includes improved Iocational cdteria for commercial developmenl. The Mixed Use Aclivily Centers are intended to provide for concentraled commercial development but wilh careh~lly configured access to the road network. Superior urban design is therefore promoted by carefiJIly managing road access, avoiding strip commercial development, improving overall circulation patterns, and provid!ng for community foc~'~l points. A second urban design initiative relates to Cordder Management Plans. The Future Land Use Elemenl committed to tile completion of such plans for two roadways initially and to extend the concept to olher roads in the future. The plans will identify an urban design theme for a particular road and recommend a package of Land Development Regulations (land use, height, setback, landscaping, signage, lighting, etc.) and public works (landscaping, lighting, signage, etc.) to achieve that thorne. The City of Naples and Collier County have cooperated on the first roads to be Ireated with this approach. The Streetscape Master Plan adopted by the Board of County Commissioners idenlifies appropriale landscaping lrealmenls for lhe different corridors in the County. Collier County has also adopted Design Standards for all commercial development into the Land Development Code. These development standards include building design. parking lot orientation, pedestrian access, vehicular movement, landscaping and lighting. These standards will provide for quality development that is responsive tO the Community's character. Improved Efficiency and..Effectiveness In the Land Use Regulatory. Process Attention has been devoted to improving the land use regulatory process through straightforward requirements and procedures. This has led to the style and structure of this Plan; a reorganization of the development review process; and the compilation of all Land Development Regulations into a single, unified Land Development Code. Protection of Private Property Rights Important to every facet of this Element is maintenance of a careful balance between pdvate property dghts and the general public inter~sL Although sound land use management by definition 'establishes limits on use of properly, care has been taken to ensure the limits are rational; fair; based on the health, safety and welfare of the public; and that due process is provided. Of particular importance is the issue of vested dghts, which is addressed later i.q this Overview. p, .SPECIAL..!SSUES coor. dlrlation of Land Use a. nd Publlc Facilib/Plannincl II is important that the time frames of land use planning and public facilities planning be coordinated. Dudng the development of the Urban Area Buildout Study it became clear that an incongruity existed in thal under the1989 Collier Counfy Comprehensive Plan, enough land in the western coastal area was designaled Urban for approximately 275,000 dwelling units (inclusive of the City of Naples) with a population of 458,000, with buildout occurring between 2019 and ?_046, depending on the growth rate of the County. Of this, approximately 120,000 dwelling units were built as of Apdl 1, 1996 (inclusive of the City of Naples). In the Immokalee Urban Area, enough land had been included for approximately 39,000 dwelling units with a build-out time horizon of 2105. These buildout time frames are contrasted by the time frames for public facility planning which are at 10 years for all facilities except roads where a 2020 financially feasible plan exists for the County. The 2020 plan is designed to accomrrK)date approximately 246,500 dwelling units and a population of 393,100 (inclusive of the City of Naples). As previously discussed, Level of Service Standards for public facilities which are binding on land development are adopted for roads, water supply, sewage treatment, water management, parks and solid wasle. Of these, the first are most closely tied to the development of a properly - adequate roads, water, sewer and water management must be on or adjacent to a property in order for it to be developed. Parks and solid waste are a matter of ensuring adequate countywide capacity. To narrow the issue further, it is recognized that the approach to adequate water management is regulalory - a level of on-site storm flood protection is required. In the case of water and sewer, the County has provided utility systems, which are substantial and expanding. Thus, the critical issue becomes coordination of land use and transpodation time frames. The difficulties that this incongruity - in land use planning and transportation planning time frames - could lead to, include: - An internally inconsistent Plan; Failure to reserve adequate right-of-way at time of zoning; Condemnation of land after zoning or after development in order to obtain adequate right of way; Temporary prohibilJons on issuance of Development Orders due to violalions of Level of Service Standards; and Progressive lowering of Level oi' Service Standards. The Comprehensive Plan responds to th,~ time frame discrepancy through immediate action and through process oriented commitments. First, the Traffic Circulation Element inck~des an Objective to coordinate with the Future Land Use Elemen! and a policy to complete long range transportation planning. The Urban Area Buildout Study was prepared to assist in the development of a long range 'vision' of the Coastal Urban Area with a specific focus on the infrastructure improvements needed to accommodate the Urban area's potential growth based on the Future Land Use Map. Phase I, completed in 1994, provided a comprehensive review of the urban area population while Phase II was an analysis of infrastructure needed to accommodate that population. Second, the Density Rating System has been adjusted to moderate maximum permissible densities in areas subject to long range congestion. Third, commercial development opportunities in the form of Mixed Use Activity Centers are provided to include a mixture of uses which has the potential to lessen the impact on the transportation system. Fourth, the Level of Service Standards that are binding on the issuance. o1' Development Orders are adopted as part of this Element, as well as the .Capital Improvements Element.. Finally, a Zoning Reevaluation Program has been establis.hed a.nd ~ impl~m~n't~d ;whidh'reviewed and modir ed, whbre possible, zoning wi/h a higher density or intensity than provided for in the 1989 Comprehensive Plan. The areas identified as subject to long range traffic congestion consist of the western coastal Urban Designated Area seaward of a boundary marked by Airport Road (including an extension north to the Lee County boundary), Davis Boulevard, County Barn Road, and Rattlesnake Hammock Road consistent with the Activity Center's residential density band located at the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Rattlesnake Hammock Road and County Road 951 (including an extension to the east). The basis for this determination was the 2015 Transportation Plan which forecasts future land use based on existing development, potential development and population projections. The land use forecasts are the basis for projected unconstrained traffic circulation from which, once compared to the existing roadway network, future roadway needs are dedved. The 2020 Financially Feasible Road Plan, as well as the Needs Assessment Plan, which represents buildout of the Urban Area, have not met with public acceptance. Therefore, the strategy discussed above is promoted, which include: exlend time frame of transportation planning; moderate maximum permissible densities in areas subjecl to long range congestion; provide commercial development opportunities which serve to modify the overall traffic circulation pattern; and re-evaluate existing zoning. 2 Level of S~.rvice Standards Standards for adequate service for roads, water, sewer, water management, parks and solid waste are adopted as a part of the Capital Improvements Element. While a major purpose of the standards in the Capital Improvements Element is to drive the funding of facility expansion commensurate with the demand created by population growth, the major purpose for inclusion in this Element is to serve as a regulatory tool. Objective 2 states: ... No local Development Order shall be issued unless required public radiities meet the requirements of the Concurrency Management System found in the Capital Improvements Element... As discussed in the previous section, implementation of the Standards will rely on the following strategies: Parks - Annual Certil'~cation of Adequate Capacity; Solid Waste - Annual Certification of Adequate Capacity; Water Management - Project-Specific Regulatory Requirement; Sewage - Project-Specific Capacity Test (may be provided publicly or privately as a central or individual syslem); Water - Project-Specific Capacity Test (may be provided publicly or privately as a central or individual system); and Roads - Project-Specific Capacity Test. It is recognized that difficulties may adse in situations where the County is not providing the facility or service but is responsible for implementation of a regulatory Level of Service Standard. This is the case with State Roads running through the County; with independent and City of Naples water and sewer districts within the County; and conversely, with County Roads running through the City of Naples. in these instances effort has been made to coordinate the "regulatory" Level of Service Standard with the "funding" Level of Service Standard. However, if there is a failure by the service provider, adjustment to the regulatory effort may be forced. For example, if the State Department of Transp.ortal~on allows a road to fall belo~..'[ts "fun{Jing" standard,.(whlch..is'the same as the, County's' ' "regulatory" standard) and there is no corrimitrnent to accelerate funding and construction, four options are available: - A moratorium may be imposed but may not be sustainable if there is no commitment to improve the road by a definite and reasonable time; The County may improve the road; The pdvate sector may improve the road; or - The regulatory Level of Service Standard may be lowered through a Comprehensive Plan amendment process. Vested Rights The issue of vested rights for approved but unbullt development is an important consideration in the Future Land Use Element. The issue emerges with regard to existing zoning which is inconsistent with this Plan; with regard to the magnitude of approved but unbuilt residential dwelling units in relation to the difficulty of forecasting development trends and resultant facility needs; with regard to trapsportation planning time frames and dght..of-way needs; and with regard to approved but unbuilt commercial zoning (C-1-C-5 and PUD) in 1995 which found that of the approximately 4,152 acres of commercially zoned land, 1,780 acres, or 43%, are developed. This Comprehensive Plan responds to the vested rights issue by establishing a pro9ram which reviewed all previously approved zoning. Within three years after Plan was adopted, all zoning was reviewed. I1' it is was determined to be inappropriate and is not vested, the zoning was adjusted to an appropriate classification. Annually thereafter, zoning will be re-evaluated on the fifth anniversary of its approval as idenlitied in lhe Land D~;velopment Regulations. (See Appendix C of lhe Support Documenl for a complete discussion of lh£: vested rights issue). E. FUi.I"UiRE LAND USE MAP. The Future Land Use Map depicts the desired extent and geographical distribution of land uses in the County. Mixed use categories are used to generally describe the character of allowed development. Within each of these categories, a range of uses are permitted based upon specific standards as described in the Designation Desc~ption Section of this Element. These uses include residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, recreational, conservation, educational, community, and public facilities. The Future Land Use Map series includes additional map sedes: Future Land Use Map - Mixed Use Activity Centers Interchange Activity Cent,;rs Future Land Use Map o Properties Consistent by Policy (5.9, 5.10, 5.11) Future Land Use Map - Natural Resources: Wetlands; The lollowing Future Land Use Maps are located in the Support Document: Future Land Use Map - Public Fac,;illJes, which shows existing and planned public facilities; Future Land Use Map - Natural Resources: Waterwe!Is, Cones of Influence, Rivers, Bays, Lakes, Floodplains, Harbors and Minerals (this map also shows those properties proposed for public acquisition by the State Department of Environmental Protection Conservation and Recreational Lands Program (CARL) and the South Florida Water Management Districts Save Our Rivers Program); Future Land t.~e Map - I',latural Resources: Soil, II. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY _GOAL.S, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES GOAL: TO GUIDE LAND USE DECISION-MAKING SO AS TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN A HIGH QUALITY NATURAL AND HUMAN ENVIRONMENT WITH A WELL PLANNED MIX OF COMPATIBLE LAND USES WHICH PROMOTE THE PUBLIC'S HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE CONSISTENT WITH STATE PLANNING REQUIREMENTS AND LOCAL DESIRES. OBJECTIVE 1: Unless otherwise permitted in this Growth Management Plan, new or revised uses of land shall be consistent with dosignalions outlined on the Fulure Land Use Map. The Future Land Use Map and companion Future Land Use Designations, Districts and Sub-districts shall be binding on all Development Orders effective with the adoption of this Growth Management Plan. Standards and permitted uses for each Future Land Use District and Subdistrict are identified in the Designation DescriplJon Section. Through the magnitude, location and configuration of its components, the Future Land Use Map is designed to coordinate land use with the natural environment including topography, soil and other resources; promote a sound economy; coordinate coastal population densities with the Regional Hurricane Evacuation Plan: and discourage unacceptable levels of urban sprawl.

Policy 2,1: The County shall prepare annually the Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) on Public Facilities which shall include a determination of the existing conditions of capital public facilities, determine the remaining available capacity, forecast future needs in the five year capital improvement schedule and identify needed Improvements and funding to maintain the level of service adopted in Policy 1.1.5 of the Capital Improvements Element. Policy 2.2: Deficiencies or potential de£mie. ,nct.es that have been determined through Ibe Annual Update and .. ' Inverttory Rel~rt oh capital public f~cilities may include' th~ following remedial actions: establish an area of significant influence for roads, add projects to the Capital Improvements Element or defer development until improvements can be made or the level of service is amended to ensure.available capacity. Policy 2.3: Continue the Certificate of Adequate Public Fadlily Adequacy regulatory program, which requires the ced/fication of public facility availability prior to the issuance of a final local development order. OBJECTIVE 3: Land Development Regulations have been adopted to implement this Growth Management Plan pursuant to Chapter 163.3202, F.S. in order to ensure protection of natural and histodc resources, the availability of land for utility facilities, promote compatible land uses within the airport noise zone, and to provide for management of growth in an efficient and effective manner. Policy 3.1: Land Development Regulations have been adopted into the Land Development Code that contain provisions to implement the Growth Management Plan through the development review process and include the following provisions: a. The Collier County Subdivision Code shall provide for procedures and standards for the orderly development and subdivision of real estate in order to ensure proper legal description, identification, documentation and recording of real estate boundaries and 1]. be Go a.::lequale infrastructure for development. Protect environmentally sensitive lands and provide for open space. This shall be accomplished in part through integration of State of Florida Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern regulations into the Collier County Land Development Code.

Policy 5.1: All rezonings musl he consistant wt~ ~hls Grow~ Management Plan. Property zoned prior adoption of the Plan (January 10, lgSg) and found to be consistenl through the Zoning Re-evalualion Program are consistent with the Growth Management Plan and designated on the Future Land Use Map series as Properties Conslstent by Policy. Zoning changes will be permitted to these properties, and to other properties deemed consistent with this Future Land Use Element via Policies 5.9 through 5.12, provided the amount of commercial land use, industrial land use, permitted number of dwelling units, and the overall intensity of development allowed by the new zoning district, except as allowed by Policy 5,11 are not increased. Policy 5.2: '.!~ :i!: All proposed development shall be reviewed for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and those found to be inconsistent with the Plan by lhe Board of County Commissioners shall not be permitted. Policy 5.3: !: ? Discourage unacceptable levels of urban sprawl tn order to minimize the cost of community facilities by confining urban intensity developme.nt to areas designated as Urban on the Future Land Use Map, and by requiring th'at any changes to the Urban Designated Areas be contiguous to an existing Urban Area boundary. : , Policy 5.4: ' New developments shall be compatible with, and complementary to, the surrounding land uses, subject to meeting the compatibility criter!a of the Land Development Code (Ordinance 91-102, adopted October 30. 1991, as amended. Policy 5.5: . ~ Encourage the use of existing land zoned for urban Intensity uses before permitting development of other areas. This shall occur by planning for the expansion of County owned and operated public facilities and services to existing zoned land before servicing other areas. Policy 5.6: '~' ~ Permit the use or' cjuster housing, Planned Unit Development techniques, and other innovative apl~ roaches, in order to consewe open space and environmentally sensitive areas. Continue to review and amend the zoning and subdivision regulations as necessary to allow innovative land development techniques,.

Family Care Facilities, which are residential facilities occupied by not more than six (6) persons, shall be permitted in residential areas. Policy 5.9: Properties which do not conform {o the Future Land Use Element but are improved, as determined through the Zoning Re-evaluation Program described in Policy 3.1K, shall be deemed consistent with the Future Land Use Element and Identified on the Future Land Use Map Series as Properties Consistent by Policy. Policy 5.'10: Properties for which exemptions based on vested rights, dedications, or compatibility determinations, and compatibility exceptions have been granted, as provided for in the Zoning Re-evaluation Program established pursuant to Policy 3.1K, and identified on the Future Land Use Map series as Properties Consistent by Policy, shall be considered consistent with the Future Land Use Element. These properMes shall be considered consistent with the Future Land Use Element only to the extent of the exemption or exception granted and In accordance with all other limitations and timelines that are provided for in the Zoning Re-evaluation Program. Nothing contained in this policy shall exempt any development from having to comply with any provision of the Growth Management Plan other than the zoning reevaluation program. Policy 5.1 t: Properties determined to comply with the former Commercial under Criteria provision of the Future Land Use Element shall be deemed consistent with the Future Land Use Element.

Those properties were rezoned during the interim period between the adoption of the Future Land Use Element in October, 1997 which was not effective due to the notice o1' Intent finding the Future Land Use Element not 'in compliance". Those prope~es, identified herein, which have modified the boundaries of the 1997 Activity Centers are deemed consistent with the Future Land Use Element. 16 . FUTURE,LAND USE DESIGNATION DESCRIPTION SECTION The folio/zing section describes the land use designations shown on the Future Land Use Map. These designations generally indicate the types of land uses for which zoning may be requested. However, these land use designations do not guarantee that a zoning request will be approved. Requests may be denied by the Board of County Commissioners based on criteria in the Land Development Code or on special studies completed for the County. I. URBAN DESIGNATION Urban Designated Areas on the Future Land Use Map include two general portions of Collier County: areas with the greatest residential densities, and areas In close proximity, which have or are projected to receive future urban support fadlilies and services. !tls intended that Urban Designated Areas accommodate the majority of population growth and that new intensive land uses be located within them. Accordingly, the Urban Area will accommodate residential uses and a variety of non-residential uses. The Urban Designated Area, which includes Immokalee and Marco Island, represents less than 10% Of Collier County's land area. The boundaries of the Urban Designaled Areas have been established based on several factors, including: patterns of existing development; patterns of approved, but unbuilt, development; natural resources; water management; hurricane risk; existing and proposed public facilities; population projections and the !and needed Io accommodate the projected population growth. Urban Designated Areas will accommodate the following uses: Residential uses including single family, multi-family, duplex, and mobile home. The maximum densities allowed are identified in the Districts and Subdistricts that follow. be Non-residential uses including: 1. Essential services as defined by the most recent Land Development Code. 2. Parks, open space and recreational uses; 3. Water-dependent and water, related uses (see Conservation and Coastal Management Element, Objective 11,1 and subsequent policies and the Manatee Protection Plan contained tn the Land Development Code); 4. Child care centers; · 5. Community facilities such as ch.u, rches group housing uses,,,c,e. meteries, ~,,,., schools ..a.r!d :;¢h0¢ fac~hb,s c..~.10cated~U'~,<Sttier;ou?c f~ci[l[l~s su~J'f:asoai'~s,'.hE'r~nes;.and. ~'?jSm'dh]tv: cerit~~~ ttE'd 'l'hdt btillg'7~,~lSt~l'dl~, 6. Safety service facilities; 7. Udlity and communication facilities; 8. Earth mining, oil extraction, and related processing; 9. Agriculture; '.! ~ 10. Travel trailer recreational vehicle parks, provided the following criteria are met: (a) The density is consistent with that permitted in the Land Development Code; The site has direct principal access to a road classified as an artedal in the Traffic Circulation Element, direct principal access defined as a driveway and/or roadway connection to the arterial road, with no access points from intervening propedies; (c)The use will be compatible with surrounding land uses. Shaded and underlined portion is added by Remedial Amendment R-99-2 2 2 11. Support medical facililJes such as physicians' offices, medical clinics, treatment, research and rehabilitative centers, and pharmacies provided the dominant use is medical related and located within % mile of existing or approved hospitals or medical centers which offer primary and urgent care treatment for all types of injuries and traumas, such as, but not limited to, North Collier Hospital. The distance shall be measured from the nearest point of the tract that the hospital is located on or approved for, to the project boundaries of the support medical facilities, Al~proval of such support medical facilities may be granted concurrent with the approval of new hospitals or medical centers which offer primary and urgent care treatment for all types of injuries and traumas. Stipulations to ensure lhat the construction of the support medical facilities are concurrent with hospitals or medical centers shall be determined at the time of zoning approval Support medical facilities are not allowed under this provision if the hospital or medical center is a short- term leased facility due to the potential for reiocation. 12. Commercial uses subject to criteria Identified in the Urban - Mixed Use District, PUD Neighborhood Village Center Subdistrict, and in the Urban Commercial District, Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict end Interchange Activity Center Subdistrict. 13. Commercial uses accessory to other permitted uses, such as a restaurant accessory to a golf course or retail sales accessory to manufacturing, so long as restrictions or limitations are imposed to Insure the commercial use functions as an accessory, subordinate use. Such restrictions or limitations could include limiting the size and/or location of the commercial use and/or limiting access to the commercial use. 14. Industrial uses subject to criteria identified in the Urban - Industrial District, in the Urban - Mixed Use District, and in the Urban commercial District, certain quadrants of Interchange Activity Centers: 15. Hotels/motels consistent by Policy 5.9, 5.10, and 5.11, oras permitted in the Immokalee Area, Golden Gate Area and Marco Island Master Plans. 16. Business Park uses subject to criteria Identified in the Urban-Mixed Use District, Urban Commercial District and Urban-Industrial District. ~A. Urban - Mixed Use Distrl.ct This District, which represents approximately 116,000 acres, is intended to accommodate a vadety of residential and non-residential land uses, Including mixed-use developments such as Planned Unit Developments. Certain lndus~al and commercial uses are also allowed subject to cdteda. This may be accomplished by encouraging coordinated mixed-use sites of water-dependent and water-related land uses are permitted within the coastal region of this District. Mixed-use sites of water-dependent and water-related uses and other recreational uses may include water-related parks, madnas (public or private), yacht clubs, and related accessory and recreational uses; such as boat storage, launching facilities, fueling facilities, and restaurants. Any water-dependent end/or water-related land use shall encourage the use of the Planned Unlt Development technique and other innovative approaches to conserve environmentally sensitive features and to assure compatibility with surrounding land uses. Priorities for shoreline land use shall be given to water dependent principal uses over water-related land uses. In addition to the criteria of cornpatibilibj' with surrounding land uses and consistency with the siting policy of the conservation and Coastal Management Element (Policy 11.1.4), the following land use cri[eda shall be used for prioritizing the siting of water-dependent and water-related uses: a. Presently developed ' · sites, ~ b. Sites where water-dependent or water-related uses have been previously established; c. Sites where shoreline improvements are in place; d. Sites where damage to viable, naturally functioning wetlands. or other environmentally sensitive features, could be minimized. I II ~lll III II ~1111 II IIIII I Port of the Islands is a unique development, which is located within the Urban Designated Area, but is also lotally within the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern. However, a portion of the development was determined "vested" by the State of Florida, thus exempting it from the requirements of Chapter 380, Florida Statutes. Further, there is an existing Development Agreement between Port of the Islands, Inc. and the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs dated July 2, 1985, which regulates land uses at Port of the Islands. Port of the Islands is eligible for all provisions of the Urban - Mixed Use District in which it is located to the extent that the overall residential density and commercial Intensity does not exceed that permitted under zoning at time of adoption of this Plan. 1. Urban Residential Subdistrict The purpose of this Subdistrict Is to provide for higher densities in an area with fewer natural resource constraints and where existing and planned public facilities are concentrated. This Subdistrict comprises approximately 93,000 acres and 80% of the Urban Mixed Use District. Maximum eligible residential density shell be determined through the Density Rating System but shall not exceed 16 dwelling units per acre except In accordance with the Transfer of Development Rights Section of the Land Development Code. 2. Urban Coa,s.t, al Frinc~eSubdistrict The purpose of lhis Subdistrict is to provide transitional densities between the Conservation Designated Area and the Urban Designated Area. It includes that area south of US 41 between the City of Naples and Collier-Seminole State Park, including Marco Island and comprises approximately 18,000 acres and 15% of the Urban Mixed Use District. In order to facilitate hurricane evacuation and to protect the adjacent environmentally sensitive Conservation Designated Area, residential densities shall be limited to a maximum of 4 dwelling units per acre, except as allowed in the Density Rating System to exceed 4 units per acre through provision of Affordable Housing and Transfer of Development Rights. Rezones are recommended to be in the form of a Planned Unit Development. The Marco Island Master Plan shall provide for density, intensity, siting criteria and specific standards for land use districts on Marco Island. 3.. Urban, Re$ident, l,al Fringe Subdistrict The purpose of this Subdistrict is to provide transitional densities between the Urban Designated Area and the Agricultural/Rural Area and comprises approximately 5,500 acres and 5% of the Urban Mixed Use District. Residential land uses may be allowed at a maximum density of 1.5 units per gross acre, subject to the following conditions: and are not subject to the Density Rating System: a. All rezones are encouraged to be In lhe form of a Planned Unit Development; and- b. Proposed development in the area shall be fully responsible for all necessary water management improvements, including Ihe routing of all on-site and appropriate off-die water through the project's water management system, and a fair share cost of necessary improvements to the CR 951 canal/out-fall system made necessary by new development in the area. 4. PUD Neighborhood Villa,qe Center Subdistrict The purpose of this Subdistrict is to allow for small-scale retail, offices, and service facilities to serve the daily needs of the residents of a PUD. The acreage eligible for Neighborhood Village Center designation and uses shall be sized in proportion to the number of units to be served, but in no event shall the acreage exceed 15 acres. The Neighborhood Village Center uses may be combined with recreational facilities or other amenities of the PUD and shall be conveniently located to serve the PUD. The Village Center shall not have independent access to any roadway external to the PUD and shall be integrated into the PUD. Phasing of construction of the Neighborhood Village Center shall be controlled so that it occurs concurrent with the residential units. The Planned Unit Development district of the Land Development Code shall be amended withtn one (1) year to provide standards and principles regulating access, location or integration within the PUD of the Village Center, allowed uses, and square footage and/or acreage thresholds. 5. Business Park Subdistrict The Business Park Subdistrict is inlended to provide for a mix of industrial uses and non-industrial uses, designed in an attractive park-like environment with low structural density where building coverage ranges between 25% to 45% and where landscaped areas provide for buffering and enjoyment by the employees and patrons of the park. Business Parks shall be allowed as a Subdistrict in the Urban-Mixed Use District, Urban Commercial District and Urban Industrial Distdct and may include the general uses allowed within each District, the specific uses set forth below, and shall comply with the following general conditions: Business Parks shall be permitted to include up to 30% of the total acreage for non- industrial uses of the type identified In 'c" below, and will reserve land wilhin the industrially designated areas for Industrial uses. The percentage and mix of each category of use shall be deterr.~ined at the time of zoning in accordance with the criteria specified in the Land Development Code. b Access to arterial road systems shall be in accordance with the Collier County Access Manag3ment Policy and consistent with Objective 7 and Policy 7.1 of the Traffic Circulation Sub-Element. c Non-industrial uses may include uses such as certain off~ces, financial institutions, retail services, institutional, cultural facilities, medical facilities, hotels/motels at a density of 26 units per acre, and recreational facilities. Retail Uses shall be limited to those uses which serve the employees of businesses within the Park or are related to the products, goods and services that are manufactured, distributed, produced or provided by businesses in the Park. d When the Business Park is located within the Urban Industrial District or includes industrially zoned land, those uses allowed in the Industrial Zoning District shall be permitted provided that the total Industrial acreage is not greater than the amount previously zoned or designated Industrial. When a Business Park is located in the Urban Commercial District or Urban-Mixed Use District, the industrial uses shall be limited to light industry such as light manufacturing, processing, and packaging in fully enclosed buildings; research, design and product development; printing, lithography and publishing; and similar light industrial uses that are compatible with non-industrial uses permitted in the district; and, the Planned Unit Development Ordinance or Rezoning Ordinance for a Business Park project shall list specifically all permitted uses and development standards consistent with the criteria Identified in this provision. e Business Parks must be a minimum of 35 acres in size. f Business Parks located within Interstate Activity Center quadrants that permit Industrial Uses shall also be required to meet the standards as stated under the Interstate Activity Center Subdistrict for commercial and industrial land uses. g Business Parks shall adopt standards for the development of individual building parcels and general standards for buffering, landscaping, open space. signage, lighting, screening of outdoor storage, parking and access management. h When located in a District other than the Urban Industrial District, the Business Park must have direct access to a road classified as an arterial in the Traffic Circulation Sub- Element. i Business Parks are encouraged to utilize PUD zoning. j The maximum additional acreage eligible to be utilized for a Business Park Subdistrict within the Urban-Mixed Use District is 500 acres, exclusive of open space and conservation areas. 20 2 6. Office a.n.d In-fill Commercial Subdistrict The intent of this Subdistrict is to allow low intensity office commercial or in-fill commercial development on small parcels within the Urban-Mixed Use District located along arterial and collector roadways where residenlJal development, as allowed by the Density Rating System, may not be compatible or appropriate. Lower intensity office commercial development attracts low traffic volumes on the abutting roadway(s) and is generally compatible with nearby residential and commercial development. The criteria listed below must be met for any project utilizing this Subdistrict. For purposes of this Subdistrict, 'abuts" and 'abutting" excludes intervening public street, easement (other than utilities) or right-of-way, except for an intervening local street; and 'commercial" refers to C-1 through C-5 zoning districts and commercial components of PUDs. a. The subject site abuts a road classified as an artedal or collector as identified on the five- year Future Traffic Circulation Map, as contained in the Traffic Circulation Sub-Element. b. The site utilized for commercial use is 12 acres or less in size, and the balance of the property In excess of 12 acres, if any, is limited to an environmental conservation easemenl or open space; c, The site abuts commercial zoning: (i) On one side and non-commercial zoning on the olher side; or, (ii) On both sides; d. The depth of the requested commercial does not exceed the depth of the abutting commercial parcel(s); e. Project uses are limited lo office or low intensity commercial, except for land abutting commercial zoning on bo[h sides, as provided for in (c) above, the project uses may include those of the highest intensity abutting commercial zoning district; f. The parcel in queslion was not created to take advantage of this provision and was created pdor to the adoption of this provision in the Growth Management Plan on October 28, 1997; g. At time of development, the project will be served by central public water and sewer; and h. The project will be compatible with existing land uses and permitted future land uses on surrounding properties. i. For those sites that have existing commercial zoning abutting one side, commercial zoning used pursuant to this subsecfJon shall only be applied one time to serve as a transitional use and will not be permiffed to expand. j. The maximum acreage eligible to be utilized for the Office and Infill Subdistrict within the Urban-Mixed Use District is 250 acres. 7, Traditional Neighborhood Design The purpose of this provision is to encourage the development of Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND) projects. TNDs are typically human-scale, pedestrian-oriented, interconnected residential neighborhood projects Ihat are centered around a village green with a mix of commercial uses including retail, office and civic amenities that complement each other. Residential uses are often located above retail uses. A gdd pattern is the basis for the transportation network. The main street component of the TND is appropriately integrated in the TND and sized in proportion to Ihe scale of the project with a maximum of 15 acres of commercial permitted. Standards shall be developed in the Land Development Code which will regulate access, permitted uses, square foolage and/or acreage thresholds, lot frontage dimensions, street .8., .GOOdlette/pine IRld.qo.Commercla/Inf]llSubdi$trlct This subdistrict ~nsis~ of ~i ~ ~nd is I~led ~{ ~e no~heasi quadrant of ~o major a~efial roadways, Pine Ridge Road and G~letle-Frank Road.

The density band around a Mixed Use Activity Center or Interchange Activity Center shall be measured by the radial distance from the center of the intersection around which the Mixed Use Activity Center or Interchange Activity Center is situated. If 50% or more of a project is within the density band, the additional density applies to the gross acreage of the entire project, Density bands are designated on the Future Land Use Map and shall not apply within the Estates Designation or for properties wilhin the "Traffic Congestion Area. 3. Affordab!e. Housln~ To encourage the provision of affordable housing within the Urban Designated Area, a maximum of up to 8 residential units per gross acre may be added to the base density if tire project meets the definitions and requirements of the Affordable Housing Density Bonus Ordinance (Section 2.7.7 of the Land Development Code, Ordinance ~31-102, adopted October 30, 1991). In the Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict, Affordable Housing projects must provide appropriate mitigation consistent with Policy 13.1.2 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element. 24 2 4, Rqsl_dential In-fill To encourage residential in-fill In areas wilh existing development, 3 residential dwelling units per gross acre may be added if the following criteria are met: (a) The project is 10 acres or less in size; (b) At time of development, the project will be served by central public water and sewer; (c) The project is compatible with surrounding land uses; (d) The property in question has no common site development plan with adjacent property; (0 There is no common ownership with any adjacent parcels; and (g) The parcel in question was not created to take advantage of the in-fill residential density bonus and was created pdor to the adoption of this provision in the Growth Management Plan on January 10, 1989. .5 ..... Roadway Access If the project has direct access to 2 or more artedal or collector roads as identified in the Traffic Circulation Element, 1 residential dwelling unit per gross acre may be added. Density credits based on fulure roadways will be awarded if the developer commits to construct a portion of the roadway (as determined by the County Transportation Department) or the road Is scheduled for completion during the first five years of the Capital Improvements Plan. The Roadway Access bonus is not applicable to properties located within the Traffic Congestion Area. 6. Transfer of Develo~)mentRl_~hts To encourage preservation/conservation of natural resources, density transfers are permitted within that portion of the Urban designated area subject to this Density Rating System. However, density shall not be transferred into the Coastal Management Area from outside the Coastal Management Area. Lands lying seaward of the Coastal Management Boundary, Identified on the Future Land Use Map, are within the Coastal Management Area. Density may be increased above and beyond the density otherwise allowed by the Density Rating System in accordance with the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Section 2.2,2.~.11, of. the Land Development Code adopted by Ordinance '...... '.' //91-102, on October 30, 1991, as amended. b, Dens!tv Reduction Consistency with the following characteristic would subtract density: 1. Traffic Con.~estlon Area If the project is within the Traffic Congestion Area, an area Identified as subject to r0ng range traffic congestion, 1 dwelling unit per gross acre would be subtracted. The Traffic Congestion Boundary is shown on the Futura Land Use Map and consists of the westam coastal Urban Designated Area seaward of a boundary marked by Airport-Pulling Road (including an extension north to the Lee County boundary), Davis Boulevard, County Barn Road, and Rattlesnake Hammock Road consistent with the Mixed Use Activity Center's residential density band located at the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Rattlesnake Hammock Road and County Road 951 (including an extension to the east). Properties adjacent to the Traffic Congestion Area shall be considered part of the Traffic Congestion Area if their only access is to a road forming the boundary of the Area; however, if that property also has an access point to a road not forming the boundary of the Traffic Congestion Area it will not be subject to the density reduction. c. Density Conditions: IIII 124, 2_ The following density condition applies to all properties subject !o the Density Rating System. 1. Maximum Dens!b/. The maximum permitted density shall not exceed 16 residential dwelling units per gross acre within the Urban designated area, except when utilizing the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Section 2.2.24.10 of the Land Development Code adopted by Ordinance #91-102, on October 30, 1991, as amended. B. Urban Commercial District This District is intended to accommodate almost all new commercial zoning; a vadety of residential uses, including higher densities for propedies not located within the Urban Coastal Fringe or Urban Residential Fringe Subdistricts; and a vadety of non-residential uses. '1. Mixed..U..~.e. Ac.tivitvCenterSubdistrlct Mixed Use Activity Centers have been designated on the Future Land Use Map Series identified in the Future Land Use Elemenl. The localions are based on intersections of major roads and on spacing criteria. There are 19 Mixed Use Activity Centers which comprise approximately 3,000 acres, Including 3 Interchange Activity Centers (//4, 9, 10) which will be discussed separately. Two Activity Centers #19 and 21 have been deleted and replaced by the land use designations identified In the Marco Island Master Plan and Future Land Use Map. The Mixed-Use Activity Center concept is designed to concentrate almost all new commercial zoning in locations where traffic Impacts can readily be accommodated, to avoid strip and disorganized patterns of commercial development, and to create focal points within the community. Additionally, some commercial development is allowed outside of Mixed Use Activity Centers in the Neighborhood Village Center Subdistrict, Office and Infill Commercial Subdistrict, Interchange Activity Center Subdistrfct, Traditional Neighborhood Design Subdistrict, and by Policies 4.7, 5.g, 5.10, and 5.11 of the Future Land Use Element. MiXed U;e A~livity Cehters ~r~ Intended to'be mixed-use in character. The'actual 'mix of the vadous land uses - which may include the full array of commercial uses, residential uses, institutional uses, hotel/motel uses at a density consistent with the Land Development Code - shall be determined during the rezoning process based on conslderation of the factors listed below. For residential development, if a project is within lhe boundaries of a Mixed Use Activ~ Center which is not within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict or Urban coastal Fringe Subdistrict, up to 16 residential units per gross acre may be permitted. Thls density may be distributed throughout the project, Including any portion located outside of the boundary of the Mixed Use Activity Center. The factors to consider during review o.f a rezone petition are as follows: Rezones within Mixed Use Activity Centers are encouraged to be in the form of a Planned Unit Development. There shall be no minimum acreage limitation for such Planned Unit Deve;opments except all requests for rezoning must meet the requirements for rezoning in the Land Development Code. The amount, type and location of existing zoned commercial land, and developed commercial uses, within the Mixed Use Activity Center and within two road miles of the Mixed Use Activity Center;, : Market demand and sen/ice area for the proposed commercial land uses to be used as a guide to explore the feasibility of the requested land uses; - Existing patterns of land use within the Mixed Use Activity Center and within two radial miles; Adequacy of infrastructure capacity, particularly roads; Compatibility of the proposed development wilh, and adequacy of buffering for, adjoining properties; Natural or man-made constraints; Rezoning criteria identified in the Land Development Code; - Conformance with Access Management Plans for Mixed Use Activity Centers contained in the Land Development Code; Coordinated traffic flow on-site and off.site, as may be demonstrated by a Traffic Impact Analysis, and a site plan/master plan indicating on-site traffic movements, access point locations and type, median opening locations and type on the abutting roadway(s), location of traffic signals on the abuffing roadway(s), and Internal and external vehlcular and pedestrian interconnections; - Interconnection(s) for pedestrians, bicycles and metor vehicles with existing and future adjacent projects; Conformance with the architecturel design standards as identified In the Land Development Code. The approximate boundaries of Mixed Use Activity Centers have been delineated on the maps located at the end of this'section as part of the Future Land Use Map Series. The actual boundaries of Mixed Use Activity Centers listed below by Activity Center and location are specifically defined on the maps and shall be considered to delineate the boundaries for those Mixed Use Activity Centers. # 1 Immokalee Road and Airport Road # 6 Davis Boulevard and Santa Barbara Boulevard # 8 Airport Road and Golden Gate Parkway #11 Vanderbilt Beach Road and Airport Road #12 US 41 and Pine Ridge Road #13 Airport Road and Pine Ridge Road .. ',., #15~Golder3.

Activity Center f~6 Is approximately 60% cornmerdally zoned and/or developed. For purposes of these specifically designated Activity centers, the entire Activity Center is eligible for up to 100%, or any combination thereof, of each of the following uses: commercial, residential and/or community facilities. Mixed Use Activity Centers may be designated as Master Planned Mixed Use Activity Centers. Master Planned Mixed Use Activity Centers are those which have a unified plan of development in the form of a Planned Unit Development, Development of Regional Impact or an area-v, ide Development of Regional Impact. Property owners within Mixed Use Activity Centers shall be required to utilize the Master Planned Mixed Use Activity center process. # 2 US 41 and Immokalee Road # 3 Immokalee Road and CR 951 # 5 US 41 and Vanderbilt Beach Road # 7 Rattlesnake-Hammock Road and CR 951 #14 Goodlette-Frank Road and Golden Gate Parkway 2'7 12A 2 In recognition of the benefit resulting l'rom the coordination of planned land uses and coordinated access points to the public road network, Master Planned Activity Centers are encouraged through the allowance of flexibility in the boundaries, mix and location of uses permitted within a designated Mixed Use Activity Center and may be permitted to modify the designated configuration. The boundaries of Master Planned Mixed Use Activity Centers depicted on the Future Land Use Map Series are understood to be flexible and subject to modification during final site design; however, the approved amount of commercial development shall not be exceeded. The actual mix of land uses shall be determined using the cdteria for other Mixed Use Activity Centers. All of the following criteria must be met for a project to qualif}, as a Master Planned Mixed Use Activity Center: 1. The applicant shall have unified control of the majority of a quadrant in a designated Activity Center. Majority of the quadrant shall he defined as at least 51% of the privately owned land within any Activity Center quadrant. However, if a property owner has less than 51% ownership within a quadrant, that property owner may still requesl a rezoning under the provisions o1' a Miyed Use Activity Center Subdistrict subJ.~ct to the maximum acreage allowed in Paragraph 2 below. Property owners with less than 51% ownership are encouraged to incorporate vehicular and pedestrian accesses with adjacent properties within the Activity Center. Any publicly owned land within the quadrant will be excluded from acreage calculations to determine unified control; 2. The permitted land uses for a Master Planned Mixed Use Activity Center shall be same as for designated Activity Centers; however, a Master Planned Mixed Use Activity Center encompassing the majority of property in two or more quadrants shall be afforded the flexibility to redistribute a part or all of the allocation from one quadrant to another. The maximum amount of commercial permitted at Activity Centers # 3 and #7 is 40 acres per quadrant for a total of 160 acres maximum in the entire Activity Center, the balance of the of the land uses shall be for residential and/or community facilities. Activity Center #14 shall have a maximum of 45 acres for commercial use, the balance of lhe land uses shall be for residential and/or . community facilities. Activity Centers #2. and. #5.have approximate. ly. 80% of the.. area zoned or developed for commercial uses. For purposes of these two Activity Centers, the entire Activity Center is eligible for up to 100% or any combination thereof, of the following uses: commercial, residential andk~r community facilities. 3. The location and configuration of all land uses within a Master Planned Mixed Use Activity Center shall be compatible with and related to existing site features, surrounding development. and existing natural and manmade constraints. Commercial uses shall be oriented so as to provide coordinated and functional transportation access to major roadways serving the Activi,.y Center, and functionally related or Integrated with surrounding land uses and the planned transportation network; and 4. Adjacent properties within the Activity Center that are not uqder the unified control of the applicant shall be considered and appropriately incorporated (i.e. pedestrian and vehicular interconnections) into the applicant's Master Plan. New Mixed Use Activity Centers may be proposed if all of the following criteria are met and an amendment is made to delineate the specific boundaries on the Future Land Use Map series for Mixed Use Activity Centers: · The intersection around which the Mixed Use Activity Center is located consists of an arterial and collector road, or two arterial roads, based upon roadway classifications in the Traffic Circulation Element. · The Mixed Use Activity Center is no closer than two miles from any existing Mixed Use Activity Center, as measured from the center point of tl~e intersections around 28 which the existing and proposed Mixed Use Activity Centers are located. Market justification is provided demonstrating need for a Mixed Use Activity Center at the proposed location. 2. Interchange Activity Center Subdis!;rtct Interchange Activity Centers have been designated on the Future Land Use Map at each of the three Interstate 75 interchanges and Include numbers 4, 9 and 10. The boundaries of these Interchange Activity Centers have been specifically defined on the maps located at the end of this Section as part of the Future Land Use Map Series. Any changes to the boundaries of these Interchange Activity Centers shall require an amendment to the Future Land Use Map Series. interchange Activity Centers if,4 and #10 allow for a mixture of land uses- which may include 100% or any combination thereof, of each of the following uses: the full array of commercial uses, residenlial and non-residential uses, Institutional uses, hotel/motel uses at a density consistent with the Land Development Code, and Business Parks; and industrial uses as identified below in Ihe southwest and southeast quadrants of Interchange Activity Center #4. No industrial uses shall be allowed In Interchange Activity Center #10. The actual mix of uses shall be determined dudng Ihe rezonlng process based on consideration of the same factors listed under the Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict. Interchange Activity Center # 9 shall be subject to the requirement of the development of an Interchange Master Plan (IMP). The IMP is intended to create an enhanced 'gateway" to Naples. The IMP process shall be initiated by the property owners an(l/or their representatives by meeting with the County planning staff within 60 days of the adoption of this Growth Management Plan amendment and a finding of compliance from the Depadment of Community Affairs. The purpose of the meeting will be to establish a mutually acceptable vision statement for Activity Center # 9. The Interchange Master Plan shall be adopted by Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners. All rezones thereafter shall meet the intent of the vision statement. Subsequeni t~'the devei01~r~ent o~lhe'v~si0n statement, ~e~ projects withir~ Activity center # 9 are encouraged to have a unified plan of development in the form of a Planned Unit Development. The mixture of uses allowed in Interchange Activity Center # 9 shall include the full array of commercial uses; residential and non-residential uses; Institutional uses; Business Park; hotel/motel uses at a density consistent with the Land Development Code; indusb"ial uses in the northeast, southwest and southeast quadrants. The mix and intensity of land uses shall meet the intent of the vision statement and be defined dudng the rezonlng process. The entire Interchange Activity Center is eligible for up to 100% of the entire acreage to be developed for any of the uses referenced above, except the maximum amount of commercial acreage shall not exceed 55% of the total acreage (632.5 ac.) of Interchange Activity Center # 9. The factors to consider dudng review of a rezone petition shall be compliance with the vision statement and those included for the Mixed Use Activity Center. For residential development, if a project is within the boundaries of an interchange Activity Center, which is not within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict and not within the Estates Designation, up to 16 residential units per gross acre may be permitted. This density may be distributea throughout the project, including any portion located outside of the boundary of the Activity Center. Based on the unique location and function of Interchange Activity Centers, some Industrial land uses that serve regional markets and dedve specific benefit when located in the Interchange Activity Centers shall be allowed, provided each such use is reviewed and found 29 , [[[ [[ n[ [ 11 Ill 11 ............... 12A 2 to be compatible with existing and approved land uses. Industrial uses shall be limited to: manufacturing, warehousing, storage, and distribution. The following conditions shall be required to ensure compatibility of Industrial land uses with other commercial, residential and/or institutional land uses in the Interchange Activity Centers; to maintain the appearance of these Interchange Activity Centers as gateways to the community; and to mitigate any adverse Impacts caused by noise, glare or fumes to the adjacent property owners. The Planned Unit Development and/or rezoning ordinance shall contain specific language regarding the permitted Industrial land uses, compatibility requirements, and development standards consistent with the following conditions. Site specific development details will be reviewed during the Site Development Plan review process. - Landscaping, buffering and/or barming shall be installed along the Interslate; - Fencing shall be wooden or masonry; - Wholesale and storage uses shall not be pen'hi!led Immediately adjacen' to the right-of-way of the blerstale; - Central water and sewage systems shall be required; - State Access Management Plans, as applicable; - No direct access to the Interstate right-of-way shall be permitted; - Access poinls and median openings shall be designed Io provide adequate turning radii to accommodate truck traffic and to minimize the need for U-turn movements; - The devuloper shall be responsible to provide all necessary traff'Jc improvements - to include traffic signals, turn lanes, deceleration lanes, and other Improvements deemed necessary - as determined through the rez. onlng process; - A maximum floor area ratio (FAR) for the designated Industrial !and uses component of the projects shall be established at 0.45. 3..

Agricultural/Rural o Mixed Use Dlstr!ct. .......... ~, 5' The purpose of Ihis District is to protect and encourage agricultural activities, conserve and preserve environmentally sensitive areas, provide for low density residential development, and other uses identified under the Agricultural/Rural Designation. These areas generally lack public facilities and services. Urbanization is not promoted, therefore most allowable land uses are of low intensity in an effort to maintain and promote the rural character of these lands. Residential uses are allowed as follows, subject to the...!ntelirn~Development Provisions: a. Low density residential dwelling units, at a maximum density of one dwelling unit per five gross acres, except for legal non-conforming lots of record., b. Dormitories, duplexes and other staff housing, as may be provided in conjunction with conservation uses, at a density tn accordance with the Land Development Code; c. Group housing uses at a density in accordance with that permitted in the Land Development Code; .. , " .," .,. d.

ESTATES DESIGNATION The Estates Land Use Designation encompasses lands which are already subdivided into semi-rural residential parcels (2.25 acres as an average) essentially consisting of the Golden Gate Estates Subdivision. The area is identified as having potential for population grov4h far removed from supportive services and facilities. Expansion of the area shall be discouraged. Pursuant to Policy 4.1 of the Future Land Use Element, the Golden Gate Area Master Plan encompassing the Estates Designation was adopted by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners on February 5, 1991. Refer Io the Golden Gate Area Master Plan for siting criteria and development standards for specific land uses. Shaded and underlined portion is added by Remedial Amendment R-99-2 12A 2 [_V,_C ONSERVATION DESIGNATION The overall purpose of the Conservation Designation is to conserve and maintair~ the natural resources of Collier County and their associated environmental, and recreational and economic benefits. All native habitats possess ecological and physical characteristics that justify attempts to maintain these important natural resources. Barrier Islands, coastal bays and wetlands deserve padicular attention because of their ecological value and their sensitivity to perturbation. It is because of this that all proposals for development in the Conservation Designation must be subject to rigorous review to ensure that the impacts of the development do not destroy or unacceptably degrade the inherent functional values. The Conservation Designation is intended to protect certain vital natural resource areas of the County owned, primarily, by the public, although pdvate in-holdings and privately owned conservation areas do exist. This Designation includes such areas as Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, Flodda Panther National Wildlife Refuge, Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, Collier-Seminole State Park, Rookery Bay National Estuarlne Research Reserve, Delnor-Wiggins Pass Slate Recreation Area, and the National Audubon Society's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary ('privately owned). The boundaries of the Conservation Designation may perioc~ically change as propedies are acquired. Standards for development in the Conservation Designation are found in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element and the Counb/s Land Development Regulations. The Conservation Designation will accommodate limited residential development and future non-residential uses. The following uses are permitted in this Designation, sublect to~the,lritedm..Development,Pr09isions identified~imthe A..qricultural/Rura! Desianation Descdotion sectibn: Single family dwelling units, and mobile homes where the Mobile Home Zoning Overlay exists, at a maximum density of one dwelling unit per five gross acres, or one dwelling unit per 3 gross acres for pdvate in-holdings within the Big Cypress National Preserve - each dwelling unit must be physically situated on a minimum five acre parcel, or minimum 3 acre parcel for private in-holdings within the Big Cypress National Preserve.

The Golden Gate Area (see Map 1) has grown at an even higher rate than the County-Wide rate since 1980 and is projected to contribute significantly to County-Wide growth in the future. The Golden Gate Area was previously subject to the regulations outlined in the County's Growth Management Plan. However, in 1991, the unique characteristics of the area resulted in adoption of a separate Master Plan for Golden Gate. This Master Plan became a separate Element of the County's Growth Management Plan and supersedes Objective 1, Policy 1.1, and Policy 1.3 of the County-Wide Future Land Use Element. All other Goals, Objectives, and Polioes contained in the Future Land Use Element and all other Elements are applicable. In addition, the Golden Gate Area Future Land Use Map will be used instead of the County-Wide Future Land Use Map. In Apd11996, the Board of County Commissioners adopted the Evaluation and Appraisal (EAR) for Collier County. As a result of the recommendations made in the EAR, Ordinanco 91-15, which adopted the odginal Golden Gate Area Master Plan was repealed and a new Ordinance 97-64 was adopted. This plan includes three major sections: The OVERVIEW, section provides an introduction to County-Wide and Golden Gate Area planning efforts, The IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY places the Plan into effect. Strategies have been developed to address land use, public facilities, and natural resources. This. section also Includes the. G0al$;ObjectN;es;and Policies, and' the Golden Gate Ar~a Future Land Use Map. The SUPPORT DOCUMENT outlines data and information used to develop the implementation strategy and the Goals, Objectives, and Policies.

Chapte: 163, F.S. and Rule 9J-5 also require that the Growth Management Plan be evaluated every 7 years and prepare an Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) to determine how the existing Growth Management Plan has carried out its Goals, Objectives and Policies. In Apdl 1996, the Board of County Commissioners adopted the EAR. The Golden Gate Area Master Plan has been readopted to carry out the recommendations of the EAR. lB, GOLDEN GATE AREA PLANNING PROCESS Collier Counts Future Land Use Element is dMded into two sections.

OBJECTIVE 2.3: In order to further this Goal, Collier county recognizes the DEP's Work Plan and time frames for completion of the reappraisal and purchase of lands in SGGE as follows: · Reappraisal of lands by December 1998, using the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices, without limiting conditions. · CompI~te purchase of the SGGE project by December 31, 2000. Policy 2.3.1: Recognizing the time frames described in Objective 2.3 above, if either the reappraisal or purchase i~ not completed by the dates specified in the Work Plan, the Board of County Commissioners will initiate the process to amend the Growth Management Plan to delete Goal 2 and its related Objectives and Policies during the first amendment cycle following the first scheduled completion date of December, 1998 described in the Work Plan. B. LAND USE DESIGN,~TION DESCRIPTION SECTION The following section describes the three land use designations shown on the Golden Gate Area Future Land Use Map. These designations generally indicate the types of land uses for which zoning may be requested. However, these land use designations do not guarantee that a zoning request will be approved. Requests may be denied by the Board of County Commissioners based on criteda in the Land Development Code or in special studies completed for the County. 1. URBAN DESIGNATION: URBAN .MIXED USE AND.URBAN COMMERCIAL Urban Designated Areas on the Future L.3nd Use Map include two general portions of Collier County: areas with the'greatest residential densities and areas in close proximity, which have or are projected to receive future urban support facilities and services. It is intended that Urban Designated areas accommodate the majority of population growth and that new intensive land uses be located within them. The boundaries of the Urban Designated areas have been established based on several factors including: · pattoms of existing development. · patterns of approved but unbuiit developmenl, · natural resources, water management, and hurricane risk. · existing and proposed public facilities, · population projections, and · land needed to accommodate growth. The Urban Designation will also accommodate future non-residential uses including essential services as defined by the most recently adopted Collier County Land Development Code. Other permitted non-residential land uses may include: · parks, open space and recreational use; · water-dependentand water-related uses; · child care centers; ·. ,community .~adlities such as churches,.~.m. eteries., sch.o01_s_and s.~ool faci!itJe~ .~c~, ... · ~'e"';~b~(~""n~'l~[~J'~~b~6. fire and police stations; · utility and communication facilities. · support medical facilities such as physician's offices, medical clinics, treatment, research and rehabilitative centers and pharmacies (as long as the dominant use is medical related) may also be permitted provided they are granted concurrent with or located within ¼ mile of existing or approved hospitals or medical centers which offer primary and urgent care treatment for all types of injudes and traumas, such as, Golden Gate Urgent Care. Stipulations to ensure that the construction of such support medical facilities are concurrent with hospitals or such medical centers shall be determined at the time of zoning approval, · Group Housing shall be permitted within the Urban Mixed Use District and Urban Commercial Districts subject to the definitions and regulations as outlined in the Collier County Land Development Code (Ordinance 91-102, adopted October 30, 1991 and consistent with Iocational requirements in Flodda Statutes (Chapter 419.01 F.S.). Group Housing includes the following type t'acilities: · Family Care Facility if occupied by not more than six (6) persons shall be permitted in residential areas. · Group Care Facility, · Care Units, Shaded and underlined portion is added by Remedial Amendment R-99-2 Adult Congregate Living Facilities, and Nursing Homes. a..

Urb,a..n ~Residen/ial Subdistrict All land within the urban mixed use designation is zoned and platted. However, any parcel to be rezoned residential is subject to and must be consistent with the Density Rating System: DENSITY R~TING SYSTEM: a) BASE DENSITY. Four (4) residential units per gross acre, which may be adjusted depending upon the charactedstJce of the project. In no case shall the maximum permitted density exceed 18 residential dwelling units per gross acre. b) The following densities per gross acre may be added to the base density: Conversion of Commercial · 16 dwelling units - if the project Includes conversion of commercial zoning which is not located within an Activity Center or which is not consistent with adopted siting criteria for commercial land use, a bonus of up to 16 dwelling units may be added for every one acre of commercial zoning which is converted. These dwelling units may be distributed over the entire project. The project must be compatible with surrounding land uses. Ii. ill. iV.

There are Density Bands located around Activity Centers. The density band around an Activity Center shall be measured by the radial distance from the center of the intersection around which the Activity Center is situated. If 50% or more of a project is within the density band, the additional density applies to the entire project. Density bands shall not apply within the Estates Designation.

Urban Commercial Districts .1) . Activity Center Subdistrict The Activity Center designated on the Future Land Map is intended to accommodate commercial zoning within the Urban Designated Area, Activity Centers are intended to be mixed-use (commercial, residential, institutional) in character. The Activity Center concept is designed to concentrate new and existing commercial zoning in locations where traffic impacts can readily be accommodated, to avoid stdp and disorganized patterns of commercial development, and to create focal points within the community. The size and configuration of the Activity Center is outlined on Map 4. The standard for intensity of uses within each Activity Center is that the full array of commercial uses may be allowed. Hotels and motels that locate within an Activity Center will be allowed to develop at a density consistent with the Zoning Ordinance. All new residential zoning shall be consistent with the Density Rating System. Existing commercially zoned and developed areas, which are not within an Activity Center or do not meet other commercial siting criteria, will be allowed to expand only to the extent permitted under the zoning classification for that property. Expansion involving aggregation of additional property occurring after adoption of this Plan shall be subject to the policies of this Plan.

Such development is intended to sen/e the surrounding neighborhoods and persons traveling nearby. This Subdistrict is intended to: contain low intensity uses which generate/attract relatively low traffic volumes; be approprfately landscaped and buffered to protect nearby residential areas; be architecturally designed so as to be compatible with nearby residential areas; and, limit access to promote public safety and lessen interruptions to traffic flow on Santa Barbara Boulevard. Aggregation of lots is strongly encouraged so as to allow greater flexibility in site design and ease in compliance with parking requirements and other development standards. The types of uses permitted are low intensity retail, offices, personal services, and institutional uses, such as churches and day care centers. This Subdistrict is intended to promote commercial development opportunities. Therefore, in order to reduce the potential conflicts that may result from residential and commercial uses in close proximity, existing residential uses must cease to exist no later than ten (10) years after the effective date of the adoption of this Subdistrict. This does not require the removal of the residential structures if they can be, and are, converted to uses permitted in this Subdistrict, within one additional year. This requirement to cease existing residential uses does not apply to owner-occupied dwelling units. Within one year of the effective date of the adoption of this Subdistrict, the Land Development Code shall be amended to provide specific uses and development standards to implement this Subdistrict. These shall include: 1. Landscaping and buffering requirements. 2. Architectural design standards. 3. Requirement to cease residential uses. 4. Prohibition of automobile service stations and similar repair facilities. This does not prelude conyenlence marts with gasoline pumps. ..
