INTRODUCTION Immokalee has long been recognized as a distinct community within Collier County. Immokalee's economV, geography, and demographic make-up are different than the rest of Collier County. Approximately one-half of the land within the Immokalee Urban Area is presently zoned and actively used for agriculture The urban area is surrounded by productive crop lands and environmentally significant habitat Most Immokalee residents work within the agricultural industry, and the majority of agricultural laborers originate from Mexico and Central America. Statistics from the 2000 Census (the most comprehensive data for Immokalee currently available) comparing Immokalee to the County as a whole reflect some of the key socio economic differences including age distribution race and ethnicity, income education and housing. The Immokalee Area Planning Commission was formed in 1965 and Immokalee was governed under separate Zoning and Subdivision Regulations until 1982. While it is now included under the county-wide Land Development Code in 1991 the County again acknowled ed the need for Immokalee-specific land use regulation with the adoption of the first Immokalee Area Master Plan as an element in the County's overall comprehensive plan. Collier County first established the Immokalee Area as a Planning Community in its 1983 Comprehensive Plan In 1989 the County adopted revisions to the comprehensive plan, now called the Growth Management Plan (GMP) which included a requirement to develop an area master plan for Immokalee. In 1991 the County adopted the first Immokalee Area Master Plan IAMP as referenced in Policy 4.2 of the Future Land Use Element: A detailed Master Plan for the Immokalee Urban designated area has been developed and was incorporated into this Growth Management Plan in February, 1991. Ma'or revisions were adopted in 1997 following the 1996 Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The Immokalee Area Master Plan addresses conservation future land use population recreation transportation, housing and the local econom . Manor purposes of the Master Plan are coordination of land use and transportation planning redevelopment or renewal of blighted areas, and the promotion of economic development. The IAMP is in addition to and supplements the goals, objectives and policies, of the Collier County Growth Mana ement Plan. Due to the unique geographic, social and economic ]AMP 1 November 2009 Forma characteristics of the Immokalee Urban Designated Area as compared with urban Naples, Coastal Collier County, and the State of Florida as a whole the Board of County Commissioners deemed it necessar to restud the Immokalee Urban Designated Area. On May 27 2003 the Board of County Commissioners ado ted Resolution 2003 -192 which first established the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restud y Committee as an ad hoc advisory committee to the board The Committee was to serve for a period of one year. On September 28 2004 the Board adopted Ordinance 2004 -62 extending the timeframe for the advisory committee and renaming it the Immokalee Master Plan and Visioning Committee ( IMPVC). On November 13 2007 the Board ado ted Ordinance 2007 -69 which extended the timeframe again, providing for dissolution of the committee no later than December 31 2009. The purpose and duties of the Committee remain the same: A Assist in the development of any necessary Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for consulting services. B. Assist Count staff with the review of eneral tannin matters related to the Immokalee Community. These could include housing zoning economic and /or other issues as-ma be brought before the Committee. C. Identify and provide the Board of County Commissioners the Committee recommendations relative to: 1 road improvements; 2 economic incentives', 3 increasing the quality and guantity of affordable housinc 4 land uses and improvements relative to the Immokalee Regional Airport; 5 density increases in mixed -use districts; 6. restructurin 1 of future land use designations and designation boundaries within the Immokalee community; 7 the facilitation of construction of commercial development in commercial districts; 8 the preparation of revisions to current zoning districts and the development of associated Unified L'�' u�' °' ° ""' ° "+ �' °`i° LDC (Ordinance 04 -41 as amended standards; and 9. the review of the 5-year Schedule of Capital Im rovements relative to the Immokalee community. D. Assist in the development of revised goals, objectives and olicies and land use designation descriptions for the Immokalee Area Master Plan. E. Assist in the review and updating of the Immokalee Area Master Plan in order to establish consistency between the Master Plan and the County Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay provisions. The IMPVC has been working steadily towards achieving these goals over the last five years. The adoption of the revised IAMP and revised Immokalee Master Plan Future Land Use Map represents the first step in completing the objectives of the Committee. The Collier County Lar LDC (Ordinance 04 -41 as amended) will be updated next to implement the IAMP 2 November 2009 Goal Obiectives and Policies of the IAMP followed closely by an update to the Capital Improvements Plan and the creation of a Iona -term transportation plan. II. NEW DIRECTIONS The residents of Immokalee see new possibilities for their community with the development of this Master Plan. With the develo ment of this new Master Plan Immokalee has chosen to focus on opportunities rather than challenges Immokalee is committed to redefining its future, revitalizing its community and developing a new mission that focuses on strengthening and diversifying its economy, embracing cultural diversity, and welcoming visitors to this place we call home." Economic opportunity lies in Immokalee's diverse community. Many residents have roots in Mexico Central America Haiti and various other Caribbean nations. This multicultural heritage should be embraced and used to develop a local marketing strategy. This diversity should guide the redevelo ment and design of downtown in order to create a distinct area that will attract new business and visitors Revitalization of the Main Street commercial corridor will be designed to embrace this cultural diversity: take advantage of the traffic generated by the Immokalee Seminole Casino and the growing Stewardship Receiving Areas, including the Town of Ave Maria and Bir Cypress- and create new public plazas and gathering spaces. These public plazas and spaces will be designed within an appropriate streetscape to foster walkability and a mixture of uses including entertainment and cultural events and will position Immokalee to attract new residents and visitors to the downtown area. The diversitv of Immokalee extends to its 'Ini ue natural surroundings, which can also be a great benefit to the local economy Lake Trafford at Immokalee's western boundary as well as other adiacent vast natural areas which include historic working ranches Provide an excellent 0 ortunity to market Immokalee as an ecotourist destination Immokalee provides a gateway to the Everglades, a world- renowned ecotourist destination. Ecotourists come to an area to experience the natural rather than the built environment. Lake Trafford and its environs offer opportunities for boating fishing camping and hiking and the chance to experience natural Florida and this freshwater frontier. Agriculture continues to be the major local industry and Immokalee residents recognize emerging opportunities for new agricultural- related businesses. Increasing fuel costs, apprehension related to food security, and environmental concerns have increased the demand for safe sustainable and domestically produced foods and energy sources. Immokalee has an opportunity to create a new farmers' market or ex and the existin i state farmers' market to serve the regional demand for fresh produce. Additionally, residents see opportunities emerging from the reaional economy and the strategic location of Immokalee in the region. Immokalee will not remain isolated in the future. One state arterial SR 29 runs through the downtown while another ends 'ust three miles north of downtown (SR 82) A maior county road (CR 846 Immokalee Road), connects Immokalee to I- 75 Planned improvements to SR 82 and SR 29 from two lanes to four lanes will open up the IAMP 3 November 2009 area to more travel and planned roadway expansions including a SR 29 Loop a potential n / 75 h, n cc new 175 interchange in eastern Collier a,�r1 will further improve the accessibility to and from Immokalee helping it to become a tourist destination and a distribution center for goods and services. Improvements to the roadway system, both regionalIV and within the Immokalee Urban Area are one art of how the overall trans ortation will im rove in the future. The Immokalee Regional Air ort (IM A) is designated as an official U.S. Port of EntrV, with its own full- service Customs Office supporting both international and domestic trade opportunities, and is a growing car o service airport. The Florida Trade ort operates within a Foreign Trade Zone #213 State Enterprise Zone Federal Enterprise Community, and Hub Zone. It provides direct access to over 2 000 acres of industrial -zoned ro erly and two paved 5,000 x 150 foot runways equipped for GPS RNAV and LBV VOR instrument approaches Located adjacent to the airport is a 240 acre master planned industrial park with two distinct centers for light industrial development. The opportunities available through development of the Tradeport are particularly significant given that the Economic Development Council of Collier County (EDC) estimates the County will need an additional 3,685 acres of new business Park lands by 2030. The EDC has been working to attract research clusters to Collier County to diversify the economy which is currently highly dependant on only three industries: agriculture, construction and tourism and services. The three targeted industry clusters are: health and life science com uter software and services and distribution Given its location access to major roads connectivity with other parts of the state availability of developable land and the airport, Immokalee is a prime location for the new distribution industry that the EDC has identified as being vital to the growth and diversification of Collier County's economy. Another potential for economic growth lies in anticipated development in areas surrounding Immokalee. As new towns in eastern Collier County develop, needed overnment services and departments should be centrally located in Immokalee to serve the eastern portion of the County. III.

Other important public services include stormwater management and solid waste which are addressed as well. goal and related objective deals with natural resource rotection and how to promote eco tourism within Immokalee While the Conservation and Coastal Management Element still applies, significant natural resources within the Immokalee Urban Area and ecotourism opportunities are addressed here. Land use is an integral component of any master plan and goal and its objective and policies deal with this issue Mixed -use pedestrian - scaled development is important, as is allowing develo ment in appropriate locations at densities and intensities that will attract new development. Urban form and desi n are addressed in oal. These ob'ectives and policies are generally concerned with how to create a theme or brand for Immokalee provide safe multi - modal transportation and develop site design and development standards appropriate for Immokalee rather than continuing to apply standards developed for coastal Collier.

Density Rating System The Density Rating System is applicable to areas designated Urban - Mixed Use District, as identified on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map. Except as provided below, the final determination of permitted density via implementation of this Density Rating System is made by the Board of County Commissioners through an advertised public hearing process (rezone). Density achieved by Formz mbined with density achieved through the rezone public hearing process. 1. THE DENSITY RATING SYSTEM IS APPLIED IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER: a. Within the applicable Urban designated areas, the base density of the subdistrict is allowed, though not an entitlement. The base level of density may be adjusted depending upon the location and characteristics of the project. For purposes of calculating the eligible number of dwelling units for the project, the total number of dwelling units may be rounded up by one unit if the dwelling unit total yields a fraction of a unit 0.5 or greater. Acreage used for the calculation of density is exclusive of commercial portions of the project, except within the Commercial Mixed -Use Subdistrict, wherein residential project densities will be calculated on total gross acreage, and portions of a proiect for land uses having an established equivalent residential density in the Collier County Land Development Code. b. This Density Rating System only applies to residential dwelling units. This Densitv Rating System is not applicable to accessory dwelling or accessory structures that are not intended and /or not designed for permanent occupancy. , and 06 Ret app"Gable to SLIGh y dwel"RCjs and stF i A Fes 6RGI de guest he uses, quest i Tito and th 4ke-. c.

Such a project must comprise a minimum of ten acres. Density achieved by right shall not be combined with density achieved through the rezone public hearing process. 2. DENSITY BONUSES In order to encourage infill development, the creation of affordable- workforce housing, and Preferred roadway access, certain density bonuses are available. If these bonuses are utilized, base densities may be exceeded. In the Low Residential Subdistrict, the base density of four (4) units per acre may only be exceeded if utilizing an affordable- workforce housing bonus. In no case shall the resulting density exceed the maximum density specified in each subdistrict, unless utilizing Transfer of Development Rights (TDR), Section 2.03.07 of the Collier County LDC, Ordinance 04 -41, as amended.

Lands within the Urban Area, from which the density or intensity has been shifted, will be placed in a conservation easement in perpetuity. b. For properties containing two or more Future Land Use Subdistricts, Future Land Use boundaries may be reconfigured provided that the following is demonstrated: i. The shift furthers the protection, enhancement or restoration of wetlands or other natural features, ii. The shift does not result in a change in the acreage of each land use subdistrict within the subject property, iii. The shift tfurthers the objectives of the Forma Immokalee Master Plan and is compatible with surrounding properties and environment, iv. The revised subdistrict boundaries are approved as part of a Planned Unit Development rezoning by the Board of County Commissioners, V. The shift mitigates for any negative impacts on adjacent properties through appropriate measures, such as buffering, separation, or other land design techniques, adequate to lessen these effects. B.
