EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
-
This report presents the Consultants' analysis of the economic impact and legal defensibility of
amendments proposed by the Board of County Commissioners to the Collier County Comprehensive
Plan to reduce density in both the Urban and Agricu]tura]/Rura] Areas, and the Consultants'
recommendations.
The economic analysis of these Density Reduction Amendments addressed three principal questions:
(1) the potentia] impact ofthe Density Reduction Amendments upon Collier County land values in the
Urban and Agricultural/Ruralareas; (2) their potential fiscal impact upon the County; and (3) their
potentia] impact upon housing cost. The legal defensibility analysis focused upon the potential
viability of claims challenging the proposed Density Reduction Amendments ifbrought under the
Florida Bert 1. Hams, Jr., Private Property Rights Protection Act ("Act"), FLA. STAT. ~ 70.001 (1995).
PROPOSED DENSITY REDUCTION AMENDMENTS
The key elements of the Board's proposed Density Reduction Amendments are (1) in the Urban
Designation to amend the Density Rating System to (a) reduce the maximum density from 4 to 3
residential units per acre on agricultural properties greater than 200 acres in size where the properties
are either underuti]ized or in agricultural use, allowing the density go back up to 4 units per acre where
a "traditional neighborhood design" (TND) is proposed for a development; (b) reduce the Density Band
around Activity Centers from 3 to 2 units per acre; (c) reduce the density bonus from 3 to 2 units per
acre for Residential Infill, and (2) in the Agricultural/RuralDesignation to reduce the density from 1
unit per 5 acres to 1 unit per 20 acres.
POLICY OBJECTIVES
These Density Reduction Amendments, while directed at reducing the actual number of potentia] future
dwelling units in the County, were proposed in the context of the Board's concerns regarding traffic
impact and the need for flyovers. Much of the Board's discussion centered on improving the design of
development in order to reduce traffic impact and to reduce the number offlyovers. The Board's
proposed policy to reduce the residential density in the Urban Area from 4 units to 3 units per acre
includes the option for a development to recoup the one unit lost if it were designed as a traditional
neighborhood development-using TND.
IMPACT OF PROPOSED DENSITY REDUCTION AMEl'l'DMENTS ON LAND VALUES
URBAN AREAS
Reduce J'J.-fa.\:imum Cap From" to 3 Units Under the Density Rating System/or Properties Greater Than 200 Acres
and in Agricultural Use or Underutilized
The economic analysis indicates that the loss of the one unit of density under the Density Rating
System for the Urban Designation area could have an economic impact of as much as $7,453 per
acre. A]though the economic analysis also indicates that there may be little economic incentive in the
Collier County urban land market to move density from 3 to 4 units to the acre, from an appraisal
standpoint, the loss of value could give rise to a potential claim under the Bert J. Hams, Jr., Act,
particular]y since the method proposed for recouping the lost unit of density is through TND
development. The neo-traditional concept, is relative]y untested in the Collier County urban land
- 1-
3.
market and this report concludes that it would be unwise to base traffic reduction so heavily upon this
design concept. In addition, according to calculations made by staff of the Community Development
and Environmental Services Division, the density reduction based upon the 200 acre threshold would
result in a reduction of only 1,706 units. Consequently, the proposed policy would accomplish little in
the way of actual density reduction or incentive to develop in ways that reduce traffic impact, and yet
could give rise to a potential claim under the Bert J. Harris, Jr., Act.
Reduce Density Band and Bonus/or ResidentialInfiIl
For the same reasons discussed above, the reduction in density in the Density Band around Activity
Centers and in the bonus for Residential InfilI, creates a moderate risk for a claim being brought under
the Bert 1. Harris, Jr., Act. However, unlike the potential impacts of changes in base density, it is not
possible to directly measure potential impact of changes in the bonuses. Given the Law of Diminishing
Returns, any impact would be less than $3,000 per unit of density. The precise impact, and extent of
potential legal risk, would be a function of the base density upon which the bonus density is to be
added.
Other Density Reduction Elements
The other elements of the proposed Density Reduction Amendments for Urban Areas are (1) to reduce
the maximum residential density in Activity Centers from 16 to 12 units; (2) to reduce the Affordable
Housing Bonus from 8 units to 5 or 6 units; and (3) to keep the bonus .for providing a collector between
two arterials. As a practical matter, there are relatively few parcels in the Activity Centers that are
likely to be developed for residential use. The proposed policy will, therefore, have little impact
economically. Reduction of the Affordable Housing Bonus would not be consistent with state policy
and would not achieve any significant reduction in density. The current density bonus for a
development that is located on two arterial or collector roads should be revised to require construction
of a collector or arterial between the two roads (arterials or collectors). This proposed revision is
consistent with the policy objective of providing roadway interconnections in order to reduce traffic
congestion.
RURAL AREAS (EAST OF GOLDEN ESTATES)
Reduce Density From 1: 5 Acres to 1 :20 Acres
Economic analysis of the principal density reduction element proposed for the AgriculturallRural
Designation, a reduction in density from 1:5 acres to 1 :20 acres, indicates that the density reduction
would not have a significant economic effect and hence would give rise to a minor risk under the Bert
1. Harris, Jr., Act.
Generally, agricultural lands carry prices that reflect the value of the land for agricultural proposes, plus
whatever development value the land may have acquired. It is the latter value that is potentially
affected by the density reduction. Agriculturallrurallands sold in some reasonable proximity to the
urban area have sold at base prices of$3,069 per acre, $767 of which is estimated to reflect
developmental value. For those agricultural properties in sufficient proximity to the urban area to have
acquired developmental value, this density reduction would greatly reduce that value, perhaps even
eliminating it.
A development value of $737 per acre was estimated from rural land sales in the western part of the
rural area. This is an average figure for those properties. As discussed in the report, it would be
expected that development value would decrease with distance from the urban area and that such
- 11 -
..!:L_
decreases would be exponential with respect to distance. The existing developmental parameters of
rural properties adjacent to the urban boundary are not proposed by the County to be changed, so there
could be no adverse effects on value. The difficulty of projected value impact results from the estimate
of developmental value being taken from properties that are both near the urban area and exempt from
the changes. Best available data, together with experiences elsewhere, suggest that average
developmental value per acre would go from $767 for rural properties near the urban area to $300 per
acre for those remote from the urban area. Available data will not allow the estimation of the rate of
decline with respect to distance. Given that the near properties are exempt, the average decline
should be approximately $300 per acre. On average, this would represent a diminution of 10%. For
this reason, generally speaking, the risk of a significant claim being brought under the Bert J. Harris
Private Property Rights Protection Act is relatively minor. However, there could be individual
circumstances where the diminution could be greater than 10%, which in such individual
circumstances, could strengthen a potential claim under the Act.
Reduce Conservation Lands Density From 1:5 Acres to 1:20 Acres
No sales of conservation lands were included in the analysis. Examination of the Collier County
Property Assessor's data indicate that these conservation lands have an average fair market value
assessment of $1,097. This figure may be somewhat low given the difficulty of establishing estimated
market values for properties that are thought not to be developable. However, experience has shown
that virtually all land will acquire some developmental value. The $767 value per acre discussed above
is for rural lands in proximity to the urban area. All properties included in the sample are thought to
have some developmental value incorporated into the sales prices. Without a firm empirical basis, any
estimate of changes in market value must be judgmental. Based upon the Collier County data analyzed
and experience in similar situations elsewhere, a reasonable estimate for average developmental value
per acre would be $300. As with agricultural, conservation or preservation lands closer to the urban
area should possess higher developmental values than those more remote from the urban area. Unlike
agricultural lands, the $300 per acre value will be accepted for all conservation/preservation parcels
regardless oflocation. Given an average estimated market value of $1 ,097, the $300 diminution
would be approximately 30%.
In dealing with lands such as these, it can be difficult to assess developmental values. The market will
always assign some developmental value to a property, regardless of how speculative. However, from
any other perspective it may well be that the property has no actual developmental potential. Weare
then faced with a conflict between a developmental value that the market may assign and the actual
developmental potential of the property. If the conservation lands in question had no actual
developmental potential before, changing the developmental density should have no effect, certainly
not on the actual developmental potential. There was none before and there is none after. However,
the market may well reduce any perceived developmental values. There is no known resolution to this
conundrum. For purposes of this analysis, it is recommended that Collier County utilize the 30%
diminution even though it may be an overstatement, especially for those properties with no
developmental potential.
Other Density Reduction Elements
Other elements of the Board's proposed Density Reduction Amendments are to (1) retain the density of
1:5 acres within one mile of major road corridors; (2) retain the density of 1:5 acres west of Golden
Gate Estates; (3) establish an Immokalee TDR receiving area; (4) keep the bonus for providing a
collector between two arterials and (5) reduce the bonus for affordable housing from 8 units to 5 units.
- iii -
---~--
We do not recommend retaining the density of 1:5 acres within one mile of major road corridors for
two reasons. First, a density of 1:5 acres within one mile of such corridors will only encourage sprawl.
Second, our analysis of the Collier County land market indicates that there is little if any market for
land at 1:5 acres within the one mile areas along major road corridors. As discussed in the report, we
recommend a lower density for these areas. We concur with the Board's proposed policy of retaining
the density of 1:5 acres west of Golden Gate Estates since these properties are selling at prices that
reflect relatively high development values and of the likelihood of the property owners having
investment-backed expectations in the existing 1 :5 density regulation. Additionally, it is clear that
there is a market for this type of development.
With respect to the desire to establish Immokalee as a TDR receiving area, we recommend that a
formal TDR program not be implemented for Immokalee. Within the Immokalee urban area there
appears to be ample subdivided land at market or above market densities. Additionally, the pace of
development in Immokalee is not conducive to an active TDR market. We would recommend that
owners of rural properties north ofImmokalee be allowed to cluster their available units in the general
area ofImmokalee. While there appears to be little demand for this type ofprogram at this time,
conditions can and will change and demand could arise. Additionally, there is virtually no negative to
the area or to the County from allowing an Immokalee cluster option.
RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS TO COUNTY COl\:L\HSSIONERS' PROPOSED DENSITY
REDUCTIO~ AAIENDMENTS
The report recommends that the Board adopt an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan that would
reduce the maximum density in the Density Rating System in the Urban Designation Area from 4 units
to 2 units for properties 50 acres or more, but with the opportunity to
1. Increase density from 2 units to 3 units per acre through design of a
development project that satisfiedperyormance standards based upon
Travel Demand Management (TDM) techniques; and
2. Increase density from 3 units to 4 units per acre through negotiation and
purchase of a conservation easement that either preserves agricultural land
in agricultural use or preserves natural resource areas. This type of
transaction would be done through a private informal process-not a
formal, institutionalized process established by the County.
The types of recommended peryormance standards are based upon Travel Demand Management
techniques that are set out in the report. The amount of acreage required to be preserved or "quieted"
through the informal transaction process (development transfer ratio) to obtain the 4th unit of density
would be established by the County based upon the market values. It is recommended that
development rights severed from agricultural property be allowed at a ratio of 1 dwelling unit per 5
acres of land. This is the existing zoning and is also the basis for the base ratio. In recognition of
conservation land having lower market prices and development values than agricultural, it is
recommended that severable development rights be available at a ratio of 1 to 8.5 acres. The basis for
the recommended ratio of 1 to 8.5 acres is set out in the report.
Analysis prepared by the Community Development and Environmental Services Division indicates that
3,447 acres satisfy the threshold size of 50 acres or more. Staff estimates indicate that a reduction of
the density to 2 units per acre will result in a reduction of 6,894 dwelling units.

ECONOMIC AND LEGAL Ev ALUA TION OF RECOMMENDED DENSITY REDUCTION
AMENDMENTS
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact analysis in the report is based upon what could be argued to be a worst case scenario.
This is an appropriate methodology because the purpose of an impact statement is to point out what
might happen, not what analysts thinks will happen. Given this approach, the report concludes that
potential fiscal impact of the density reductions could be as much as a $30 million decline in taxable
values for a 0.15% decrease in total taxable values.
POTENTIAL HOUSING COST IMPACT
The estimated total cost of restoring density back to four units per acre is $5,500. This includes the
estimated costs associated with modifying the development and also the costs associated with acquiring
conservation easements. In many cases the costs will be less that these estimates.
Nevertheless, such cost increases could occur. Whether housing cost changes are passed forward to the
buyers or backwards to the landowners is a long-standing debate that will not be resolved herein.
Suffice it to say that the ultimate incidence of cost changes is the result oflocalized market conditions.
Because local market conditions frequently change, the incidence of cost changes also will change.
This analysis will present full pass-through of costs. This full pass-through in not a prediction but an
impact analysis. The purpose of this analysis is to ask "what if?" What would be the housing cost
consequences if all ofthe costs per passed through in the form or higher prices or rents for housing?
For this purpose a cost of$5,000 per unit was used.
Using an interest rate of 6% amortized over 30 years for ownership, and 15 years forrental, the analysis
concludes that if all of the estimated costs of restoring density were to be incurred and also were to be
passed through, the impact on housing costs would be $30 to $40 per month, $360 to $480 per year.
Using the 25% housing cost rule, the necessar)' income to afford housing would increase by $1,400
to $2,000.
lEGAL IMPLlCA TIONS
The Bert 1. Hams, Jr., Act requires a written settlement offer from government upon being presented
with a claim of loss of fair market value due to specific government action. By structuring the density
reduction so as to enable the property owner to regain density through satisfaction of performance
standards or consummation of a transaction with another property owner that results in preservation of
agricultural land or natural resource conservation, the County would significantly reduce the potential
risk for a claim being brought in the first place and, if brought, that the property owner would prevail.

L~TRODUCTION
On June 2, 1998, the Board of County Commissioners directed staffofthe Community Development
and Environmental Services Division to prepare amendments to the Collier County Comprehensive
Plan to reduce density in both the Urban and AgriculturaI/RuralAreas (the Density Reduction
Amendments), to investigate the potential of a transfer of development rights (TDR) Program focused
in and around the Immokalee Urban Area, and to prepare an economic analysis of the proposed
changes in density and the legal defensibility of doing so. The law fiffil of Robinson & Cole LLP was
retained by the Board to undertake this analysis and to make such recommendations as it deemed
appropriate in connection with the proposed density reduction amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
Robinson & Cole, in turn, retained the services of Dr. James C. Nicholas, an economist from the
University of Florida, to assist it in preparing analyses relevant to the assessment of economic impact
and legal defensibility.
PURPOSE OF REPORT
The purpose of this report is to present the results of our analysis of the economic impact and legal
defensibility of the proposed Density Reduction Amendments and of the potential for use ofTDR in
and around the Immokalee Urban Area and to recommend certain adjustments in those proposed
planning policies to address economic and legal considerations.
SCOPE OF ANALYSIS
The legal defensibility of the proposed Density Reduction Amendments depends chiefly upon
conclusions reached regarding their potential economic impact. The economic impact analysis
undertaken by Dr. Nicholas addressed three principal issues in connection with the proposed Density
Reduction Amendments: (1) their potential impact upon ColIier County land values in the Urban and
Agricultural/Rural areas; (2) their potential fiscal impact upon the County; and (3) their potential
impact upon housing cost. The legal defensibility analysis, in turn, focused upon the potential viability
of claims chalIenging the proposed Density Reduction Amendments ifbrought under the Florida Bert 1.
Harris, Jr., Private Property Rights Protection Act.
PROPOSED DENSITY REDUCTION AMENDMENTS
Before evaluating the proposed Density Reduction Amendments, the following presents a brief
overview of the Board's planning policy objectives and the specific policies proposed.
PLANNING POLICY OBJECTIVES
The Density Reduction Amendments, while directed at reducing the actual number of potential future
dwelIing units in the County, were proposed in the context of the Board's concerns regarding traffic
impact and the need for flyovers" Much of the Board's discussion centered on improving the design of
development in order to reduce traffic impact and to reduce the number of flyovers. In fact, as
indicated in Table 1 below, the Board's proposed policy to reduce the residential density in the Urban
Area from 4 units to 3 units included the option for a developmentto recoup the one unit lost ifit were
designed as a traditional neighborhood development-known as Traditional Neighborhood Design
(TND). TNDs are typically human-scale, pedestrian-oriented, interconnected neighborhood projects
- I -
'l.
that are centered around a village green with a mix of uses including retail, office and civic amenities
that complement one another. Residential uses are often located above retail uses. A grid pattern is the
basis for the transportation network. The main street component of the TND is integrated in the TND
and sized in proportion to the scale of the project. The Board's proposed policy in this regard was to
provide an economic incentive for developers to use development design techniques such as TND that
will lessen external traffic impacts, especially on arterial roads.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS PROPOSED TO ACHIEVE POLICY OBJECTIVES
The Density Reduction Amendments proposed the Board of County Commissioners are summarized in
Table 1 below. These proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments are tied to specific areas as indicated
on the Plan's Future Land Use Map. See Figure t following Table 1.

BACKGROUND ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS
Our evaluation of the Density Reduction Amendments proposed by the Board of County
Commissioners is derived from certain background economic considerations governing density and
land values and the Collier County land market. These considerations are presented first, before
addressing the key elements of the proposed Density Reduction Amendments.
DENSITY AND LAND VALUES
When asked what determines the value ofland, "location, location and location" is the standard, almost
knee-jerk, response. Of course location is critical to the value of a parcel of land, but once location is
fixed, other factors come into play. The most important of the other factors is the productivity of the
land. All other things being equal, i.e., location, the more productive land will command higher prices
than the less productive. The precise value of a parcel ofland would be a function of the land's yield
per unit ofland, usually an acre. For agricultural land this is commonly measured in bushels per acre,
or some other recognized measure of output. The more goods that can be produced on a parcel, the
more valuable the land. The same economic forces apply to urban land.
LAND VALUE PER ACRE
With Increasing Density
(I)
::J
ro
>
Density
Figure 2
The productivity of urban land is basically the same as agricultural - the yield per acre. Of course the
units yielded from urban land are different than agricultural and are measured in dwelling units or
square footage of floor area. But the basic point, that the more that can be produced on a parcel ofland
the greater the expected value of a unit ofland, remains true for both agricultural and urban land.
Unlike agriculture, the production of more urban product per unit of land tends to change the nature
and value of the product. In agriculture the 1 oath bushel produced on an acre would have the same
market value as the first or the fiftieth. The same is not true for urban products such as residences. The
- 4 -
.iL.
market tendency is for residential unit value to decline with density. I See Figure 2 above. Thus in an
urban market the productivityofthe land must be viewed together with the market for the various types
of units capable of being produced on the land. Land capability is a function of the physical
characteristics of the land and the legal restrictions on the land. Consequently, either physical
limitations or legal restrictions will work in conjunction with market forces to determine the
productivity ofland in terms of production per acre-density.
In a residential land market the general tendency is for value to increase per land unit (hereafter
referred to simply as acre) with density, but at a decreasing rate. That is, each additional unit of density
will add less to total value as density is increased. In economics this is known as the Law of
Diminishing Returns.2 A typical pattern of per acre value with respect to residential density would be
as shown in Figure 2 above. In this figure value per acre is increasing with additional units of density,
but it is clearly increasing at a decreasing rate. If this process of increasing density on a given unit of
land is allowed to continue, it will eventually lead to a decl ining total value, as shown in Figure 3
below. The decrease would occur because each additional unit of density was of negative value, thus
detracting from parcel value. Of course, no rational person would knowingly increase density to such a
level. Rather, they would cease density increases at levels that maximized total values.

In those circumstances where the market demands less density than either the physical limitations on
the land or the legal restrictions could allow, the market is the sole determinant of density. When the
market would accept, and legal restrictions would allow, higher density than the physical limitations
will allow, attempts to modify those physical limitations will occur until either the market or legal

limits became the upper limit. When legal restrictions allow less density than the market demands and
physical limitations would allow, requests for rezonings and similar types of regulation changes will
follow. Only when the market is the limiting factor will equilibrium prevail.
When some limit is imposed on density, regardless ifit is physical or regulatory, the market process
will be halted if that limit is less than the density that maximizes values. Figure 4 below shows such a
limiting factor. A limiting factor is introduced that results in less than market density and thereby
limits value. Of course, if the limit could be eliminated or raised, density of development would rise
and so also land values. If this limitation were physical, modifying the land could result in increased
value. Likewise, values could be increased by relaxation of any regulatory constraints. In the situation
depicted in Figure 4 below, it would be very much to the advantage of the property owner to attempt to
increase the density of development. The point here is that in order for density bonuses to be
economically attractive, regulatory density limits must be lower than the market based limits.

The material presented and the points made here are commonly known. This review is presented in
order to set the stage of an analysis of the role of density in the Collier County urban land market. The
general theory ofland economics would suggest that density of development would be a significant
factor in the setting of Collier County urban land values. Furthermore, theory would suggest that the
incremental or marginal value will decline with density. We now turn to the Collier County land
market to understand land economic reiationshipswithin the County.
COLLIER COUNTY URBAN LAND MARKET
The following is an empirical inquiry into the nature and magnitude of the role of density in Collier
County urban land markets. The method employed in this report in order to estimate the effects of
density reductions in the Collier County urban land market is an analysis of actual land sales within
Collier County. The actual sales used can be found in Appendix C to this report. These sales were
subjected to statistical analysis in order to derive insight into Collier County land economics. The
analysis employed was multiple regression. This is a statistical technique that correlates one set of
- 6 -
L3L_
.-
data, known as the dependent variable, with one or more independent variables. The methodology for
this regression analysis is set out in Appendix B to this report.
The analysis was concerned with the incremental or marginal value of allowable density (per acre). In
order to establish a basis for this estimation, 198 Collier County land sales were analyzed. See
Appendix C. The expectation was that per acre values would increase with allowable density and per
dwelling unit values would decrease with allowable density. Of course, it was expected that both per
acre and per parcel values would vary given the presence or lack of amenities. The amenities included
in this analysis were water frontage (non-gulf), golf course frontage and being within a gated
community. Given the nature ofthe land market, it is expected that the interactions among these
variables will be logarithmic rather than linear.
It is not possible to directly measure the worth of amenities. In this analysis each amenity was
measured simply on the basis of whether or not it exists for each particular parcel. The regression
model then estimated the contribution of such amenities to the sales price of the lot. The objective was
not to estimate amenities values. Rather, the objective was to adjust for amenities so that the
fundamental land economics could be assessed.
As noted above in the discussion of density and land values, there is a market tendency for price per
acre to diminish with parcel size and also for price per allowable unit to diminish with density. The
results of the regression analysis utilizing the sales data were used to estimate the generalized impact of
density reductions on land value/prices. The results are summarized in Table 2 below.

Within the generalized Collier County urban land market, the fourth unit of density adds an estimated
$7,453 to an acre. Additionally, the third and fourth units add $16,707. It follows, then, that a
reduction from 4 density units to three units would reduce expected per acre value by $7,453. A
reduction by two density units, from 4 to 2, would reduce per acre values by $16,707.

The above estimates are based upon the assumption that the full four units of density are available for
use by property owners/developers. Collier County data suggest that this assumption may not be
accurate, at least in all instances. Table 3 above shows PUD densities for different time periods.
Looking at all residential PUDs approved by the County, the average density approved is 3.23 units per
(gross) acre. However, earlier PUDs tended toward higher density while later projects have been
lower. The market, Collier County land regulatory policies, or both, have resulted in a decline in the
density of residential developments. These data would suggest that the actual value of a fourth unit of
density may be less than the $7,453 estimated and the value of the third and fourth units would be less
than S 16,707.3 Nevertheless, this analysis will utilize these higher figures so that there is minimal
chance for an understatement of impact or cost.
The conclusions reached from this analysis of land sales data are:
First, there may be little economic incentive to move density from 3 to 4 units to the
acre. It appears that a combination of market demand together with physical and
regulatory limitations result in a preferred density in the general area of three units to
the acre. If this is the case, there would be little incentive to go from three to four units
per acre if such an option were available.
Second, there appears to be a substantial incentive for developers to increase from two
to three units per acre.
3 If market gross density is 3.08 units per acre rather than 4, the reduced values from a maximum but unused 4 to 3
would result in a decline of only $52 per acre. Additionally, the value of a reduction from a theoretical 4, but a
practical 3.08 density to 2, would result in a reduced per acre value of$9,903 rather than $16,707.

BACKGROUND LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
TH EBERT J. HARRIS, JR, PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS PROTECTION ACT
In 1995, the Florida legislature enacted the Bert J. Harris, Jr. Private Property Rights Protection Act
("Act"), FLA. STAT. 9 70.001 (1995). The Act created a new statutory cause of action that does not
rely on a traditional constitutional takings claim. The Act, 9 70.001 (2), states that:
When a specific action of a governmental entity has inordinately burdened an existing
use of real property or a vested right to a specific use of real property, the property
owner of the real property is entitled to relief, which may include compensation for the
actual loss to the fair market value of the real property caused by the action of the
government. .. (emphasis added).
The Act defines two types of "existing uses" of property, including: (1) "an actual, present use or
activity on the real property," or (2) "reasonably foreseeable, nonspeculative land uses which are
suitable for the subject real property and compatible with adjacent land uses and which have created an
existing fair market value in the property greater than the fair market value of the actual, present use or
activity on the real property." FLA. STAT. 9 70.001 (3)(b). To date, there is little judicial guidance for
interpreting the definition of the second type of existing uses.
General guidance on the scope of uses that may be included in the second category of existing uses is
offered by the language of the Act and by terms related to property valuation that are frequently
considered by the Florida courts in the context of eminent domain cases. In addition, terms such as the
"suitability" of a property for a particular use or the "compatibility" of a use with adjacent land uses, are
factors often considered in making zoning and development permitting decisions. These factors relate
to the physical characteristics of a particular site and the physical feasibility and desirabilityoflocating
a particular use on a site.
The interpretation of the term "reasonably foreseeable, nonspeculative land uses," used in the definition
of the second category of existing uses, is critical to determining the scope of uses contained within this
category. Issues related to the use of this term are the types of issues that frequently arise when valuing
property and are commonly considered by the courts in Florida eminent domain cases. See Broward
County v. Patel, 641 So.2d 40 (Fla. 1994).
The measure of compensation in eminent domain cases is based on the fair market value of a property.
Factors considered in determining fair market value include: the uses for which the land is suited,
including the present use or the highest and best use; the existing use restrictions and the reasonable
probability of a change in those restrictions; and the period of time within which such sale could
reasonably be effectuated.4 Therefore, in determining the present market value of property, the highest
and best use of the property must be determined based on the physical suitability of the property and
existing use restrictions or changes in use restrictions that have a demonstrated "reasonable probability"
(in addition to other factors such as financial feasibility and market support). The term "use
restriction," in this context, is broadly defined to encompass not only zoning restrictions on types of

added).
- 9 -
/ (P.
land uses, but also zoning restrictions on intensity of use and density, and in some instances has been
interpreted to include use restrictions other than zoning.
In eminent domain cases, the burden is on a landowner to introduce evidence to support a finding that
there is a "reasonable probability" of a change in a use restriction within the reasonably foreseeable
future. The court may make an initial detennination whether the likelihood is sufficient to have an
appreciable influence on the present market value of the property.s Even when a court detennines that
the factual evidence of a reasonable probability of a change in a use restriction may be considered, this
probability is viewed as a future contingency. not a certainty. The future contingency is relevant only
to the extent that a knowledgeable buyer would consider this future contingency in deciding the fair
market value for a property. Patel. 641 So.2d at 42.
Thus, the detennination of a "reasonably foreseeable, nonspeculative land use" under the Act. would
involve an analysis similar to the valuation analysis often followed in eminent domain cases. The Act
provides that awards of compensation should be detennined by "calculating the difference in the fair
market value ofthe real property, as it existed at the time of the governmental action at issue, as though
the owner had the ability to attain the reasonable investment backed expectation or was not left with
uses that are unreasonable, whichever the case may be, and the fair market value of the real property, as
it existed at the time of the governmental action, as inordinately burdened." FLA. STAT.
S 70.001 (6)(b) (emphasis added). This calculation attempts to quantify the change in fair market value
attributed to the government action changing the use restrictions on the property.
A claim brought pursuant to the Act must be based on an appraisal that calculates this difference in fair
market value before and after the government action. In calculating the fair market value before the
government action, the definition of "existing uses" considers uses that have created "an existing fair
market value in the property greater than the fair market value of the actual, present use or activity on
the real property." FLA. STAT. S 70.00I(3)(b). This language, although not clearly stated, appears to
be designed to ensure that the tenn "existing uses" encompasses not merely the actual present use of the
property, but also the "highest and best use" of a property. Moreover, the calculation of the fair market
value before the government action is based on the explicitly stated assumption that the property be
valued"... as though the owner had the ability to attain the reasonable investment backed expectation
or was not left with uses that are unreasonable, whichever the case may be." FLA. STAT.
S 70.001 (6)(b). This language would seem to confinn that the fair market value of the property before
the government action should based on the highest and best use of the property, the detennination of
which could include consideration of a reasonable probability of a change in use restriction.
Therefore, claims under the Act will be detennined based on a fair market value prior to the
government action that considers not only the actual existing use, but also the highest and best use of
the property. This highest and best use. however, should be detennined based not only on
consideration oflegally allowable uses, but also physically and financially feasible, market supported
uses. The stated assumptions of the appraisal used to support a claim under the Act, therefore, have a
major influence on the detennination of value.
If appraisals are based on unsupported assumptions that the maximum densities pennitted under
existing zoning are otherwise feasible. then the potential could exist for before values of property to be

artificially inflated. The valuation analysis should consider other factors such as: whether the site
could physically accommodate the zoned density; whether the market supported such a development;
and whether such a project was financially feasible.
In interpreting the meaning of the second type of "existing uses" defined in the Act, the question arises
as to whether future land uses designated in the Comprehensive Plan may be considered "existing uses"
protected under the Act. In other words, could a landowner successfully argue that the provisions of a
future land use element of a comprehensive plan create "reasonably foreseeable, nonspeculative"
existing uses?
A landowner could argue that because Florida law requires zoning to be consistent with the
comprehensive plan, that uses (defined to include intensity of use and densities) set forth in a
comprehensive plan are "existing uses" for purposes of the Act. A landowner could potentially make
this argument even if the zoning regulations allowed the use only as a conditional or specially
permitted use. Similar to the "reasonable probability" approach to valuation used in eminent domain
cases, a landowner could argue that a change in a comprehensive plan designation creates a reasonable
probability of a change in zoning and, therefore, a "reasonably, foreseeable" land use. For example, if a
comprehensive plan was changed to provide for future reductions in allowable densities within an area,
the appraised fair market value after the plan change may be reduced, based on a reasonable probability
of a downzoning in the reasonably foreseeable future.
However, Florida law is clear that it is the actual zoning that leads to the creation of reasonably
foreseeable, nonspeculative uses. Unlike the comprehensive planning process, it is the zoning and
permitting process that makes determinations based on factors such as suitability and consistency, on a
site specific basis. The Florida Supreme Court recognized this distinction in Board of County
Commissioners...... Snyder, 627 So.2d 469, 475 (Fla. 1993), when it stated that "[a] comprehensive plan
only establishes a long-range maximum limit on the possible intensity of land use.... The present use
ofland may, by zoning ordinance, continue to be more limited than the future use contemplated by the
comprehensive plan. " This distinction is also important in determining when the government's action
contemplated under the Act, is sufficiently "specific" to give rise to a claim for compensation. This
question is discussed below.
REQUIRED WRITTEN SETTLEMENT OFFER BY GOVERNMENT
The Act provides that not less than 180 days prior to filing an action against a governmental entity, a
property owner who seeks compensation must present the claim in writing to the head of the
governmental entity. The property owner must submit, along with the claim, a bona fide, valid
appraisal that supports the claim and demonstrates the loss in fair market value to the real property.
During the ISO-day notice period, unless extended by agreement of the parties, the governmental entity
must make a written settlement offer to effectuate:
(1) An adjustment ofland development or permit standards or other provisions
controlling the development or use ofland.
(2) Increases or modifications in the density, intensity, or use of areas of
development.
(3) The transfer of developmental rights.
- 11 -
/2.
(4) Land swaps or exchanges.
(5) Mitigation, including payments in lieu of onsite mitigation.
(6) Location on the least sensitive portion ofthe property.
(7) Conditioning the amount of development or use permitted.
(8) A requirement that issues be addressed on a more comprehensive basis than a
single proposed use or development.
(9) Issuance of the development order, a variance, special exception, or other
extraordinary relief
(10) Purchase of real property, or an interest therein, by an appropriate
governmental entity.
FLA. STAT. 9 70.000I(4)(a). As discussed below, these required settlement provisions are particularly
relevant to the proposed Density Reduction Amendments and how they should be structured. This
questions is discussed below.
TIMING OF CLAIM UNDER THE ACT
Florida case law supports an interpretation of the definition of "existing use" that recognizes the
distinction between planning and zoning and bases the determination of "existing uses" on zoning,
rather than actions such as amendments to comprehensive plans.
In Florida, amendments to comprehensive plans are considered to be legislative policy decisions.
Martin County v. Yusem, 690 So.2d 1288, 1293 (Fla. 1997). While the Florida Supreme Court in
Snyder, found that rezonings of a limited scope may be considered "quasi-judicial decisions" subject to
review under a "strict scrutiny" standard, the Court left uncertain whether amendments to
comprehensive plans could similarly be considered to be "quasi-judicial" decisions. Snyder, 627 So.2d
at 475. The Court answered this question in Yusem, finding that decisions regarding comprehensive
plans are policy decisions that provide for gradual and ordered future growth, and as such, should be
considered to be legislative decisions. Yusem, 690 So.2d at 1293.
The rationale of the court in Yusem lends support to the argument that amendments to comprehensive
plans, as legislative policy decisions, are not the type of decisions that directly limit or restrict the use
of a specific property, but rather are broader policy decisions that should be given greater deference by
the court. Moreover, Yusem also supports an interpretation of the definition of "existing use" which
recognizes the distinctions between planning and zoning and looks to existing uses under zoning rather
than relying on comprehensi ve plan elements to determine "existing use."
This interpretation is further supported by an opinion of the Florida Attorney General, Fla. AGO 95-78,
which recognized that the plain language of the statute requires that real property be "directly affected"
by a government action. The Attorney General's opinion emphasized that the provisions of the Act are
tied to a specific parcel, where a government action is directed at a separate, specific parcel of real
property. This language is similar to the language the court in Yusem used to distinguish quasi-judicial
- 12 -
I (j.
actions governing specific parcels, from broader legislative planning decisions. Similarly, recent
decisions of the Florida circuit courts appear to concur that claims under the Act arise from the
application of an ordinance to a specific parcel of real property, not from the policy decision of
enacting the ordinance. See Holy Trinity Church v. City o/West Palm Beach, BH-97-50-04;First
Church o/Christ Scientist v. City o/West Palm Beach, BH-97-50-05.
The foregoing analysis leads to the general conclusion that it is not the proposed Density Reduction
Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan that themselves could trigger a claim under the Act. Rather,
it would be the County's decision on a specific development application to apply the density limitation,
consistent with the Plan amendments. We now turn to the key elements of the proposed Density
Reduction Amendments and evaluate their viability from economic and legal perspectives.
Ev ALUA TION OF PROPOSED DENSITY REDUCTION AMENDMENTS
The key elements of the Board's proposed Density Reduction Amendments are (1) in the Urban
Designation to amend the Density Rating System to (a) reduce the maximum cap from 4 to 3
residential units per acre on agriculturally zoned properties 200 acres or more in size where the
properties are either underutilized or in agricultural use, allowing the density to go back up to 4 units
per acre where a TND is proposed; (b) reduce the Density Band around Activity Centers from 3 to 2
units; (c) reduce th~ density bonus from 3 to 2 units for Residential Infill, and (2) in the
Agricultural/RuralDesignation to reduce the density from 1 unit per 5 acres to 1 unit per 20 acres.
URBAN AREAS
Reduce /~la.rimum Cap From 4 to 3 Units Under the Density Rating System for Properties 200 Acres or More
and in Agricultural Use or Underutilized
The economic analysis discussed above indicates that the loss of the one unit of density under the
Density Rating System for the Urban Designation area could have an economic impact of$7,453 per
acre. Although the economic analysis also indicates that there may be little economic incentive in the
Collier County urban land market to move density from 3 to 4 units to the acre, from an appraisal
standpoint, the loss of value could give rise to a potential claim under the BertJ. Harris, Jr., Act,
particularly since the method proposed for recouping the lost unit of density is through TND
development. From our review of the Collier County urban land market, we believe that TND, at least
the neo-traditional concept, is relatively untested in this market and that it would be unwise to base
traffic reduction so heavily upon this design concept. In addition, according to calculations made by
staff of the Community Development and Environmental Services Division, as set forth in Table 4
below, the density reduction based upon the 200 acre threshold would result in a reduction of only
1,706 units. Consequently, the proposed policy would accomplish little in the way of actual density
reduction or incentive to develop in ways that reduce traffic impact, and yet could give rise to a
potential claim under the Bert 1. Harris, Jr., Act.

Reduce Density Band and Bonus for Residential/nlill
For the same reasons discussed above, the reduction in density in the Density Band around Activity
Centers and in the bonus for Residential Intill, creates a moderate risk for a claim being brought under
the Bert 1. Harris, Jr., Act. However, unlike the potential impacts of changes in base density, it is not
possible to directly measure potential impact of changes in the bonuses. Give the law of diminishing
returns, any impact would be less than $3,000 per unit. The precise impact, and extent of potential
legal risk, would be a function of the base density upon which the bonus density is to be added. As
discussed below, we recommend that the reduction in the maximum density in the Bands around
Activity Centers be coupled with the opportunity to regain the density in exchange for satisfying
County policies directed at reducing traffic impact and preserving agricultural and natural resource
areas. We also recommend against reducing the bonus for Residential Intil!.
Other Density Reduction Elements
The other elements of the proposed Density Reduction Amendments for Urban Areas are (1) to reduce
the maximum residential density in Activity Centers from 16 to 12 units; (2) to reduce the Affordable
Housing Bonus from 8 units to 5 or 6 units; and (3) to keep the bonus for providing a collector between
two arterials. As a practical matter, there are relatively few parcels in the Activity Centers that are
likely to be developed for residential use. The proposed policy will, therefore, have little impact
economically. Reduction of the Affordable Housing Bonus would not be consistent with state policy
and would not achieve any significant reduction in density. The current density bonus for a
development that is located on two arterial or collector roads should be revised to require construction
of a collector or arterial between the two roads (arterials or collectors). This proposed revision is
consistent with the policy objective of providing roadway interconnections in order to reduce traffic
congestion.

RURAL AREAS (EAST OF GOLDEN ESTATES)
Reduce Density From 1:5 A cres to 1:20 Acres
Economic analysis of the principal density reduction element proposed for the AgriculturaVRural
Designation, a reduction in density from 1:5 acres to 1 :20 acres, indicates that the density reduction
would not have a significant economic effect and hence would give rise to a minor risk under the Bert
1. Harris, Jr., Act.
Generally, agricultural lands carry prices that reflect the value of the land for agricultural proposes plus
whatever development value the land may have acquired. It is the latter value that is potentially
affected by the density reduction. Agricultural/rurallands sold in some reasonable proximity to the
urban area have sold at base prices of$3,069 per acre, $767 of which is estimated to reflect
developmental value.6 For those agricultural properties in sufficient proximity to the urban area to have
acquired developmental value, this density reduction would greatly reduce that developmental value,
perhaps even eliminatingit.7
A development value of$737 per acre was estimated from rural land sales in the western part ofthe
rural area. This is an average figure for those properties. As discussed below, it would be expected
that development value would decrease with distance from the urban area and that such decreases
would be exponential with respect to distance. The existing developmental parameters of rural
properties adjacent to the urban boundary are not proposed by the County to be changed, so there could
be no adverse effects on value of those properties. The difficulty in projecting value impact results
from the estimate of developmental value being taken from properties that are both near the urban area
and exempt from the changes.8 Best available data together with experiences elsewhere suggest that
average developmental value per acre would go from $767 for rural properties near the urban area to
$300 per acre for those remote from the urban area. Available data will not allow the estimation of the
rate of decline with respect to distance. Given that the near properties are exempt, the average decline
should be approximately $300 per acre.9 On average, this would represent an average diminution of
10%. For this reason, generally speaking, the risk of a significant claim being brought under the Bert J.
Harris, Jr. Private Property Rights Protection Act is relatively minor. However, there could be
individual circumstances where the diminution could be greater than 10%, which in such individual
circumstances, could strengthen a potential claim under the Act.
Reduce Conservation Lands Density From 1:5 Acres to 1:20 Acres
No sales of conservation lands were included in the analysis summarized in Appendix C. Examination
of the Collier County Property Assessor's data indicate that these conservation lands have an average
fair market value assessment of $1 ,09710. This figure may be somewhat low given the difficulty of
establishing estimated market values of properties that are thought not to be developable. However,
6 See Table 1 1, Development Values. These estimates are derived from the analysis discussed in Appendix C.
7 Proximity is not to be interpreted as adjacency.
g There were insufficient sales of remote rural lands in order to derive any conclusions.
9 This figure is derived by calculating the root mean square of the difference between $767 and $300. This results in a
higher weight being assigned to the properties with more developmental value.
10 See Table 7.
~ 15 ~
,..1 ~"-
experience has shown that virtually all land will acquire some developmental value. The $767 value
per acre discussed above is for rural lands in proximity to the urban area. All properties included in the
sample are thought to have some developmental value incorporated into the sales prices. Without a
firm empirical basis, any estimate of changes in market value will have to be judgmental. Based upon
the Collier County data analyzed and experience in similar situations elsewhere, a reasonable estimate
for average developmental value per acre would be $300. As with agricultural, conservation or
preservation lands closer to the urban area should possess higher developmental values than those more
remote from the urban area. Unlike agricultural lands, the $300 per acre value will be accepted for all
conservation! preservation parcels regardless of location. Given an average estimated market value of
$1,097, the $300 diminution would be approximately 30%.
In dealing with lands such as these, it can be difficult to assess developmental values. The market will
always assign some developmental value to a property, regardless of how speculative. However, from
any other perspective it may well be that the property has no actual developmental potential. Weare
then faced with a conflict between a developmental value that the market may assign and the actual
developmental potential of the property. If the conservation lands in question had no actual
developmental potential before, changing the developmental density should have no effect, certainly
not on the actual developmental potential. There was none before and there is none after. However,
the market may well reduce any perceived developmental values. There is no known resolution to this
conundrum. For purposes of this analysis, it is recomme1'lded that Collier County utilize the 30%
diminution even though it may be an overstatement, especially for those properties with no
developmental potential.
Other Density Reduction Elements
Other elements of the Board's proposed Density Reduction Amendments in Rural Areas are to
. Retain the density of 1:5 acres within one mile ofmajorroad corridors;
. Retain the density of 1:5 acres west of Golden Gate Estates; and
. Establish an Immokalee TDR receiving area.
We do not recommend retaining the density of 1:5 acres within one mile of major road corridors for
two reasons. First, a density of 1: 5 acres within one mile of such corridors will only encourage sprawl.
Second, our analysis of the Collier County land market indicates that there is little if any market for
land at 1:5 acres within the one mile areas along major road corridors. As discussed below, we
recommend a lo.wer density for these areas. We concur with the Board's proposed policy of retaining
the density of 1:5 acres west of Golden Gate Estates since these properties are selling at prices that
reflect relatively high development values and of the likelihood of the property owners having
investment-backed expectations in the existing 1:5 density regulation. Additionally, it is clear that there
is a market for this type of development.
With respect to the desire to establish Immokalee as a IDR receiving area, we recommend that a
formal TDR program not be implemented for Immokalee. Within the Immokaleeurban area there
appears to be ample subdivided land at market or above market densities thus there would be little if
any economic incentive to increase densities. Additionally, the pace of development in lmmokalee is
not conducive to an active TDR market. We would recommend that owners of rural propertiesnorth of
- 16 -
d3~_
lmmokalee be allowed to be cluster their available units in the general area ofImmokalee. While there
appears to be little demand for this type of program at this time, conditions can and will change and
demand could arise. Additionally, there is virtually no negative to the area or to the County from
allowing an lmmokalee cluster option. The current density bonus for a development that is located on
two arterial or collector roads should be revised to require construction of a collector or arterial
between the two roads (arterials or collectors). This proposed revision is consistent with the policy
objective of providing roadway interconnections in order to reduce traffic congestion.
RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS TO COUNTY COMMISSIONERS' PROPOSED DENSITY
REDUCTION AMENDMENTS
ECONOMIC AND LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The legal implications under the Bert 1. Harris, Jr., Act ofthe Board's proposed Density Reduction
Amendments depend upon the impact on investment-backed expectations of implementing the
proposed amendments. For this reason, the following conclusions reached from the analysis ofland
sales data are important to understanding the rationale for the policy adjustments recommended in this
report. These are:
First, as summarized in Table 2 above, it is estimated that the reduction of
density from 4 to 3 units would reduce the value per acre of agricultural and
underutilized parcels in the Urban Area by $7,453 per acre.
Second, it appears that a combination of market demand together with physical
and regulatory limitations result in a preferred density in the general area of
three units to the acre. Consequently, if the option to go from three units to
four units per acre were available, there would be little incentive to do so.
Third, there appears to be a substantial incentive for developers to increase
density from two to three units per acre.
Fourth, there is an insufficient number of parcels 200 acres or more in the
Urban Area to make 200 acres a meaningful threshold for the application of the
density reduction.
The sales data findings and the requirement under the Bert 1. Harris, Jf., Act that the government
propose a means of settlement to the property owner who presents a claim under the Act for loss of fair
market value, are the economic and legal basis for the following recommended adjustments to the
Board's proposed policies.

These adjustments reflect the following principles:
First, in order to achieve a meaningful reduction in density, the reduction must
be set below the average density found in the Collier County urban land
market.
Second, in order to mitigate against a potential claim under the Bert J. Harris,
Jr., Act, the County policy should provide a property owner with a realistic
means to increase density above the new limit under the Density Rating
System in a manner that supports County planning policies to reduce traffic
impact and achieve other objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
Third, County planning policies to achieve reduction of traffic impact should
provide flexibility through the use of performance standards rather than any
particular design concept.
Fourth, the proposed Density Reduction Amendments, as revised, will have
some fiscal impact on the County, albeit relatively small.
REDUCTION IN DENSITY FROM 4 TO 2 UNITS PER ACRE WITH 50 ACRE THRESHOLD
It is recommended that the Board adopt an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan that would reduce
the maximum cap in the Density Rating System in the Urban Designation Area from 4 units to 2 units
for properties 50 acres or more. On the following page, Figure 5, prepared by the Community
Development and Environmental Services Division, indicates the number of parcels that fall within this
acreage threshold. The total acreage is 3,447 acres. Staff estimates indicate that a reduction ofthe
density to 2 units per acre will result in a reduction of 6,894 dwelling units. See Table 6 below.

METHODS TO INCREASE DENSITY
PerformanceStandards
In the Urban Area, a property owner/developerwould be able to increase density from 2 units to 3 units
through design of a development proj ect that satisfied performance standards based upon Travel
Demand Management techniques. Under these performance standards, a project would have to employ
one or more of the following techniques to qualify for the additional unit of density.
Interconnection
. Increased number of connections to the arterial or collector system based on the
number of dwelling units in a project.
. Provide public access through projects which connect with arterial or collector
road network.
. Provide vehicular interconnection from commercial projects to residential
projects.
. Provide a mixture of uses, internally accessible to the development which
include: personal service commercial, employment opportunities; home
occupations; schools; parks and recreational uses; churches; and institutional
uses.
Access Management
. Limitation and locational restrictions on the number of access points in
conjunction with the access control policy (already required by Access Control
Policy).
. Provide for shared access between projects.
. Provide for frontage roads or bypass roads around an intersection.
. Construction of a new collector or arterial which connects to other collector or
arterial roadways.
Bikepaths/Sidewalks
. Construction or payment in lieu for an identified pathway in the Comprehensive
Pathway Plan.
. Provide a Pathway Plan within the development as part of the rezoning criteria.
The above techniques were developed in preliminary form by staff and will undergo further refinement
if this recommended approach to performance standards is adopted by the Board.
- 21 -
.....d 8~.__
Presen'ationof Agricultural Use or Natural ResourceArea
In order to qualify for the fourth unit of density, the property owner/developerwould need to negotiate
and purchase a conservation easement that either preserved agricultural land in agricultural use or
preserved natural resource areas. This type of transaction would be done through a private informal
process-not a formal, institutionalizedprocess established by the County. The amount of acreage
required to be preserved or "quieted" through this informal transaction process (development transfer
ratio) would be established by the County based upon the market values. These transfer ratios are
discussed below,
DEVELOPMENTTRANSFER RATIOS
It is recommended that development rights severed from agricultural property be allowed at a ratio of 1
dwelling unit per 5 acres ofland. This is the existing zoning and is also the basis for the land to unit
ratio. In recognition of conservation lands having lower market prices and development values than '
agricultural, it is recommended that severable development rights be available at a ratio of 1 to 8.5
acres. The basis for the recommended ratio of 1 to 8.5 acres is set out in the economic analysis below.
Because it cannot be known if agricultural and conservation lands property owners will be willing to
sell conservation easements at economically feasible prices, the Country should closely monitor
easement availability and schedule a review ofthe matter 12 months after adoption. If easements are
not available at economically feasible prices, corrective actions should be taken.
ECOl"OMIC AND LEGAL Ev ALUA nON OF RECOMMENDED DENSITY REDUCTION
A..:\clENDMENTS
The following is an assessment ofthe fiscal impact and legal defensibility of the key elements of the
Oensi ty Reduction Amendments if revised in the manner recommended by this report.
FISCAL IMPACT
The taxation of real property is an important source of revenue to Collier County, the School Board and
other taxing jurisdictions. Inasmuch as the proposed density changes are presumed to effect land
values, it follows that there could be fiscal impacts also. There are three general categories of property
potentially affected:
. Properties within the urban area that are 50 acres or greater that will have their
base density reduced from 4 to 2 units to the acre, with the possibility of restoring
that density;
. Agriculturally zoned properties outside of the urban area that are in agricultural
production and are to be reduced in density from 1 unit per 5 acres to one unit per
20 acres; and
. Properties outside of the urban area this are designated as conservation in the
Collier County Comprehensive Plan and are to be reduced in density from 1 unit
per 5 acres to 1 unit per 40 acres.
- 22-
~q.
The following analysis addresses the potential fiscal impact of these changes and their impact on
housing cost in the County.
Urban Area
It is unlikely that there will be any observable effect of the density changes on the taxable value of
reduced base densities of properties. The bases for this judgment are:
. Urban area developments are not using the 4 units to the acre density presently
available, thus the market could not capitalize a value for something that is not
being used;
. The presumption herein is that any observable impact of the base density
reductions will be passed forward to ultimate buyers or renters;
. The availability options to restore lost density and thus to restore value, albeit at
a cost; and
. Agriculturally zoned property within the urban area is unlikely to be assessed for
tax purposes at values that would be sensitive to the proposed density reductions.
However, and not withstanding the above, it will be assumed that each acre of urban area land
subjected to a base density reduction will decline $2,500 in taxable value. In the summary table there
are two impact columns. The first is the estimated fiscal impact with a threshold of 50 acres and the
second is with a threshold of200 acres.
Rural Area
Very large portions of eastern Collier County are proposed to have density reductions from the existing
1 unit per 5 acres. Agricultural properties are proposed to be reduced to 1 unit per 20 acres and
resource conservation areas are to go to 1 to 40 acres. The potential effects of these changes on the
Collier County tax base and thus also on receipts are of importance and are set out below,
Appendix B sets out the detail of the rural area taxable values calculations. Table 7 summarizes those
data. Two possible values for agricultural lands are set out. The first is the weighted average for all
agriculturally classified properties. The second excluded groves from this average. The reason for
calculating an average exclusive of groves is that citrus groves are taken to be fundamentally different
from other agricultural lands and basically immune from development pressures and values.

JO.
Rural developmental values of $767 per acre have been estimated above. Of course, that datum would
apply to only to rural properties with sufficient proximity to the urban area to have acquired
developmental value. It is clear by observation of a map that most of the relevant rural properties are
substantially removed from the urban area and thus would have negligible development value. For the
purposes if this review, it will be assumed that 25% of rural properties will be effect by a change in
development value.
Table 8 on the following page sets ofthe estimated fiscal impact of the density reductions. Under the
assumptions relevant to this estimate, the potential loss of tax base may be as high as $28 to $32
million. This could be a reduction of 0.14%. The relevant assumptions are:
. That urban properties will decline in taxable value by $2,500 per acre;
. That the decline in developmental value would apply to 25% of all rural
properties; and
. That citrus grove taxable values will react to density reductions.
Agriculturallyused lands are given assessed and taxable values that are based upon their agricultural
and not their market values. The density reductions will not effect agricultural use values. However, in
an abundance of caution, it will be assumed that taxable values for agricultural lands will decline by
10%.
Table 9 retains the urban area decline of $2,500 per acre by excluding citrus groves from the rural area
calculations. If citrus lands, including groves, are excluded, potential decline in the tax base would
amount to $25 to $30 million, 0.12%. This view does not adjust agricultural values from $285 per acre.
It is thought that there is no developmental value included in this amount.

The fiscal impact analysis sets out what could be argued to be a worst case scenario. This is an
appropriate methodology because the purpose of an impact statement is to point out what might
happen, not what the analysts thinks will happen. Given this approach, the potential fiscal impact of
the density reductions could be as much as a $30 million decline in taxable values for a 0.15% decrease
in total taxable values.
POTE!"TIAL HOUSING COST IMPACT
Land is an important cost component in the production of housing. As various land development
parameters change, so also might the cost of housing change. The primary goal of the proposed
- 26-
.13.
changes in urban densities is not to reduce developed densities as such. Rather, the goal is to lessen
traffic impacts and also to enhance environmental and agricultural preservation. However, there should
be costs associated with the lessening of traffic impacts and open space preservation. What are argued
to be reasonable cost estimates are set out herein.
Lessened Traffic Impacts
The desired lessening of traffic impacts is expected to be achieved by several possible routes:
. Onsite provision of certain types of destinations, principally commercial and
office;
. Interconnection of neighborhood streets to collector streets;
. Provision of non-vehicular modes of transportation, specifically walkways and
bikepaths; or
. The use of the principles of Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND) in planning
developments.
Undoubtedly there will be other means of achieving the desired ends than those listed above. The
problem to be addressed is that with the current mode of development in Collier County, there is a need
to use an automobile for most, ifnot all, local or neighborhood destinations together with funneling
most, if not all, traffic onto arterial roads. The use ofTND is one means of addressing these concerns
and also a means of restoring base density from two units to the gross acre to three units to the gross
acre. However, TND is still a relatively new mode of development and it could be unwise to base the
traffic reduction program solely on those design principles. The other means listed are all incorporated
within TND, but they can be employed without going to a full TND type development. These other
means are also routes to achieving densities beyond the base of two units to the acre. The first three
means are the ones analyzed for purposes of the cost estimation set out below.
Estimated costs associated with the above means of density increases are set out in Table 10 below. It
is anticipated that the major cost increases will be in the type of streets to be constructed within the
development and also in the provision of curbs and gutters. It is recognized that many developments
already provide curbs and gutters and thus some overstatement of cost may occur.

- 27-
___~3Lj._ __
Nevertheless, Table 10 would suggest that the cost impact of traffic lessening could be as high as
$3,029 per dwelling unit.
It should be kept in mind that many developments can comply with the traffic reduction policies with
little if any change in development cost. However, it would be unwise to proceed on the assumption
that there would not be development cost implications for the density reduction/restorationprogram.
Open Space Preservation
The second means of restoring density is by means of open space preservation. The open spaces to be
preserved are agricultural and environmentally sensitive lands. These are the lands designated as
agricultural or preservation on the Future Land Use Map of the Collier County Comprehensive Plan.
The proposal is that property owners desirous of restoring the fourth unit of density within the urban
area could do so by acquiring conservation easements for agricultural or conservation lands. The
proposal is that any privately owned agricultural or conservation lands within Collier County would be
suitable for open space preservation.
A statistical analysis of Collier County real estate sales suggests generalized values for agricultural
lands. These values are shown in Table 11 below. I I These data suggest a generalized market value of
$3,069 per acre, $767 of which would be attributable to development value. Because the data are for
rural land as a general category, it is not possible to differentiate among various subgroups or subareas.
Moreover, conservation lands were not included in the sample. However, it would be expected that
rural lands closer to the urban area would carry higher development values than those more remote.

DEVELOPMENTAL VALUES
PROPERTY TYPE PER ACRE VALVES
Total Development
Agricultural $3,069 $767
Conservation $1,097 $300
Source: Collier County Property Appraiser, January J 999
The expected pattern of development values are shown in Figure 6. The figure of$767 is the
estimated average development value, per acre, of the rural properties included in the study. Closer
properties should have higher values while more remote properties should have lower developmental
values. The proposal is to allow conservation easements to be recorded for any privately ovvned
agricultural or conservation land within the County. It would seem likely that the more remote
properties would be the lower cost for development right removal. Certainly for some of the more
remote properties the development value would approach zero. However, no logical property ovvner
would record a conservation easement without some inducement, i.e., payment or some similar type of
economic reward. The greatest economic reward would inure to ovvners of properties with the least

development value. It would follow that the first properties to be so restricted would be the more
remote and the development values of those properties would be the lowest. The immediate question
here is just how low will development values go?
DEVELOPMENTAL VALUE PER ACRE.
Rura r Area La nd
Distance to Urban Area
Figure 6
Property that cannot be developed into some type of residential, commercial or industrial use has no
real development value. However, the market always seems to attribute some development value,
frequently very minor. Nevertheless, the market does ascribe some development value to all privately
owned properties. An extensive study was done of the relationship of development value for
developable verses non-developable(wetlands) by the New Jersey Pinelands Commission.]2 This
study concluded that non-developable (wet) lands commended prices approximately 10% of the market
value of comparably located developable (up) lands. Applying the same ratio here would result in an
estimated development value for the most remote properties of $300 per acre. At a ratio of one unit
increase per 8.5 acres preserved, the expected cost of increasing density would be $2,500 per unit.
Thus it is recommended that a ratio of 8.5 to 1 be used for conservation lands and 5 to 1 be used for
agricultural lands.
Total Cost
The estimated total cost of restoring density back to four units per acre is $5,500. This includes the
estimated costs associated with modifying the development and also the costs associated with acquiring
conservation easements. In many cases the costs will be less that these estimates.
Nevertheless, such cost increases could occur. Whether housing cost changes are passed forward to the
buyers or backwards to the landowners is a long-standing debate that will not be resolved herein.
Suffice it to say that the ultimate incidence of cost changes is the result oflocalized market conditions.

Because local market conditions frequently change, the incidence of cost changes also will change.
This analysis will present full pass-through of costs to the ultimate buyer or renter. This full pass-
through in not a prediction but an impact analysis. The purpose of this analysis is to ask "what if?"
What would be the housing cost consequences if all of the costs per passed through in the form or
higher prices or rents for housing? For this purpose a cost of $5,000 per unit will be used. See Table
12 below.

IMP ACT ON HOUSING COST OF RECOMMENDED

Cost Increase per Unit $5,000 $5,000
Design Standards $2,500 $2,500
Monthly Cost $20 $15
Resource Conservation $2,500 $2,500
Monthly Cost $20 $15
TOTAL COST PER MONTH $40 $30
These calculations use an interest rate of 6% and amortize the amount over 30 years for ownership and
15 years for rental. If all of the costs discussed were to be incurred and also were to be passed through,
the impact on housing costs would be $30 to $40 per month, $360 to $480 per year. Using the 25%
housing cost role, the necessary income to afford housing would increase by $1,400 to $2,000.
lEGAL 1;\IPLlCA TIONS
As noted above in the discussion of the Bert 1. Harris, Jr., Act, it is significantthat the Act requires a
written settlement offer from government upon being presented with a claim ofIoss offair market
value due to government action. By structuring the density reduction so as to enable the property
owner to regain the density through satisfaction of performance standards or consummation of a
transaction with another property owner that results in preservation of agricultural land or natural
resource conservation, the County would significantly reduce the potential risk for a claim being
brought in the first place and, ifbrought, that the property owner would prevail.

APPENDIX A
EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THE COLLIER URBAN LAND MARKET
The method employed herein to estimate the effects of density reductions is an analysis of actual land
sales within Collier County. The actual sales used may be found at the end of this appendix. These
sales are subjected to statistical analysis in order to derive insight into Collier County land economics.
The analysis employed is multiple regression. This is a statistical technique that correlates one set of
data, known as the dependent variable, with one or more independent variables. The objective is to test
whether there is significant correlation between the dependent variable and the independent variables.
The reliability of the model is measured by a statistic known as the Correlation Coefficient (or
Coefficient of Multiple Determination)- R2. This is a percentage measure, although statistical
convention does not convert it to an actual percentage but leaves it in decimal form. The Correlation
Coefficient is calculated by contrasting the predicted (or estimated) value of dependent variables
against the actual value of those variables. The extent to which the predicted values are consistent with
the actual values, measured as a percent, is the R2. For this reason, this statistic is commonly known as
"goodness of fit," meaning the extent to which the statistical explanation offered "fits" with the actual
values observed. The higher the value ofR2, the better the fit. The R2 reported herein are adjusted for
sample size and thus the notation is shown as "R2 Adj."
Two other statistical measures are employed herein. The first is the T -Ratio. This ratio measures
whether the coefficient of an individual independent variable is significantly different from zero. lfthe
coefficient is significantly different from zero, then it is accepted that the independent variable effects
the dependent variable in proportion to the magnitude of the coefficient. The correlation coefficient,
R2, assesses the explanatory power or all independent variables collectively while the T-Ratio is
relevant to each individual variable. For samples of the type analyzed, T-Ratios between 1.796 and
2.624 are required. The lower T -Ratio is associated with the 95% level of significance and the higher
is 99%. T-Ratios are shown above each coefficient in parentheses. A quick rule-of-thumbis that a T-
Ratio must be approximately2 before the independent variable can be accepted.
Another measure is the F Statistic. The F Statistic assesses the degree of co-variation between the
dependent and independent variables. For the type of data analyzed, F Statistics of 3.09 at 95% and
5.07 at 99% are required. The F-Statistic is an overall test of the multiple regression model.
A total of three statistics are used: (1) R2 which measures the percent of variation in the dependent
variable explained by the variation in the dependent variable(s); (2) T Ratio which measures whether
an individual independent variable contributes to the explanation of the variation in the dependent
variable; and (3) F Statistic which measures the degree of co-variation.
Multiple regression is used to assess the factors that influence the value ofland sales. The items
presumed to influence parcel sales price are: the number of acres within the parcel; the number of
dwelling units authorized by existing zoning; the amenities available to the parcel, and whether the
parcel is within the urban area. No other factors are given consideration. In the following sections the
parcel sales within Collier County are analyzed. The objective is to estimate the value of an additional
unit of (residential) development. This value will be used as a basis for projecting the consequences of
permitted density alternations.

To readers unfamiliar with statistical and multiple regression analysis this may be difficult. Rather than
working through the individual equations, a reader may wish to simply employ the T-Ratio rule of
thumb (it should be approximately 2) and an F-Ratio rule of 5 or higher. There is no set minimum
value for R 2 Adj. Rather, the closer to 1 the better. But for the type of analyses undertaken herein,
values ofR2 Adj. of50% (.5) are acceptable.
This analysis is concerned with the incremental or marginal value of allowable density (per acre). In
order to establish a basis for this estimation, 198 Collier County land sales were analyzed. The
expectation is that per acre values will increase with allowable density and per dwelling unit values will
decrease with allowable density. Of course, it is expected that both per acre and per parcel values vary
given the presence oflack of amenities. The amenities included herein are water frontage (non-gulf),
golf course frontage and being within a gated community. Given the nature of the land market, it is
expected that the interactions among these variables will be logarithmic rather than linear.
It is not possible to directly measure the worth of amenities. In this analysis each amenity is measured
simple on the basis of whether or not it exists for each particular parcel. The regression model will then
estimate the contribution of such amenities to the sales price of the lot. The objective is not to estimate
amenities values. Rather, the objective is to adjust for amenities so that the fundamental land
economics may be assessed. The binary (lor 0) inclusion of a characteristic is known as a "dummy
variable." It is "dumb" in that the value 1 indicates that the characteristic exists and the value 0
indicates that it does not exist.
The model to be used is:
Equation 1
LogPrice == A +
(bI * LogAcres) + (b2 * LogUnits) + (b3 * Water) +
(b4 * Golf) + (b5 * Gate) + (b6 * Urban) + (b7 * LogTime)
Equation 1 incorporates an hypothesis that the sales price of a parcel ofJand within Collier County will
be a function of the size of the parcel (measured in acres), the allowable density (measured in dwelling
units permitted by zoning), the amenities available (water frontage, golf course frontage, and gated
community), the location of the parcel within the urban area and the date the parcel was sold. No sales
were for Gulf coastal properties so the effect of such locations on price should not be present. The
results of this analysis are shown in Table 1.

The test statistics resulting from equation 1 are:
R = 0.786
R2 = 0.618
Degrees of Freedom = 190
R2 Adj. = 0.605
F = 20.8
Generally the results are good. However, time (when the property was sold) is insignificant in that the
T -Ratio is 1.22. Therefore time is dropped as an independent variable and the equation re-estimated as
Equation 2.]3
Equation 2
LogPrice = A +
(bl * LogAcres) + (b2 * LogUnits) + (b3 * Water) +
(b4 * Golf) + (b5 * Gate) + (b6 * Urban)
The statistical results for equation 2 are approximately the same as those of Equation 1, indicating that
the passage of time within 1997 had do observable effect. 14

These equations are able to explain over 60% of the variation in purchase prices of Collier County
properties.
13 It is true that golf course frontage also has an unacceptably low T-Ratio. However, this is the result ofmuIticolinarity
among the amenity variables and is not a basis for concern. This simply means that many of the golf course frontage
lots are within gated communities and vice versa.
14 The sales data are during 1997, thus little time had past from first to last.

Putting these data and results back in a more conventional fonn yields:
Price = A * (Acres)0561 * Units0367
There are several significant points in this equation. First, the positive signs of both exponents show
that increased lot size and increased density add to parcel value. But, the fact that the magnitude of
both exponents is less than one indicates that they add to value at a diminishing rate. This is also
con finned by the sum of the exponents being less than one (0.928). The effect of a change in acreage
on pnce IS:
dPrice/dunits = 0.367 * A * AcresO.561 * Units-O.633
while the effect of increased density on price is:
d Price / = 0 561 * A * Acres-O.439 * Unitso.367
d acreage .
These equations simply demonstrate the oft noted market tendencies for price per acre to diminish with
parcel size and also for price per allowable unit diminishing with density.
The above results can be used to estimate the generalized impact of density reductions on land
value/prices.

Parcel $3,717,047 $3,344,380 $2,881,695
Per Acre $74,341 $66,888 $57,634
Per Unit $18,585 $22,296 $28,817
Change $7,453 $16,707
Within the generalized Collier County urban land market the fourth unit of density adds an estimated
$7,453 to an acre. Additionally, the third and fourth units add $16,707. It would follow, then, that a
reduction from 4 density units to three would reduce expected per acre value by $7,453. It would also
follow that a reduction by two density units would reduce per acre values by $16,707.

The above estimates are based upon the assumption that the full four units of density are available for
use by property owners/developers. Collier County data suggest that this assumption may not be
accurate, at least in all instances. The above table shows PUD densities for different time periods.
Looking at all residential PUDs approved by the county, the average density approved is 3.23 units per
(gross) acre. However, earlier PUDs tended toward higher density while later projects have been
lower. The market, the Collier County land regulatory policies or both have resulted in a decline in the
density of residential developments. These data would suggest that the actual value of a fourth unit of
density may been less than the $7,453 estimated and the value of the third and fourth units would be
less than $16,707.15 Nevertheless, this analysis will utilize these higher figures so that there is minimal
chance for an understatement of impact or cost
15 Ifmarket gross density is 3.08 units per acre rather than 4, the reduced values from a maximum but unused 4 to 3
WVUIU ,csult in a decline of only $52. Additionally, the value of a reduction from a theoretical 4 but a practical 3.08
density to 2 would result in a reduced value of$9,903 rather than $ 16,707.

APPENDIX B
ESTIMATE OF EFFECT OF PROPOSED DENSITY REDUCTION
AMENDMENTS UPON RURAL TAXABLE VALUES
The estimation of the effect of the proposed density changes of Collier County rural taxable values
requires an examination of the tables values in the County. Seven rural areas of Collier County were
sampled as a basis to project pre- and post-reduction taxable values. These seven areas are circled on
the Future Land Use Map on the following page. The number of parcels, acres ofland and taxable
values are shown in Table B-1. A total of 1,057 rural parcels were included in this sample.

Parcels fell into one of the following classifications:
Cropland Soil Class 1
Cropland Soil Class 2
Grazing Land Soil Class 1
Grazing Land Soil Class 2
Orchards, Groves or Citrus
Ornamentals and Misc. Agriculture
Poultry, Bees, Tropical Fish, Rabbits etc.
(Rural) Acreage Not Zoned for Agriculture.
The rural acreage not zoned for a agriculture is used as the basis to project taxable values for
preservation lands. All of the other groups included are used to project agricultural taxable values.
Table B-2 shows the calculation of simple and weighted taxable values per acre. The weighted average
is included so as not to allow undue influence by extreme values.

B-2 shows a simple value per acre for agricultural lands of$625.77 per acre and a weighted per acre
value of $859.71. It would appear that some very low value properties did in fact draw down the
simple mean. The non-agricultural properties had a simple average of $1,106.90 in taxable value and a
weighted average of$I,097.26. There is virtually no difference between the weighted and the simple
means for these properties.
The weighting was done by the percentage of total taxable value within that study area, For example,
agricultural lands in Area 5 amounted to $11,190,992 in taxable value. This is 12.42% of the total
agricultural taxable values of $90,091,512. Area 5 agricultural lands were give a relative weight of
0.1242. This procedure was repeated for (rural) acreage not zoned for agriculture.
A second set of calculations are shown in Table B-3. These data exclude grove and orchard properties
for the calculations. The agricultural land average taxable value drops to a simple average of $270.12
and a weighted average of$285.67. These data make it clear that groves constitute a very substantial
portions of Collier County's agricultural taxable values.
The reason for preparing Table B-3 was to look at taxable values for the two general c1assificationsof
rural agricultural properties; groves and all other agricultural lands. This was done on the presumption
that there will be no change in the taxable values of groves given a reduction in allowable residential
densities. The average taxable value of $2 70 to $285 per acre for non-grove land is so low that it is
unlikely that taxable values would be affected by changes in densities. Moreover, all of these
properties are in agricultural use c1assificationand thus divorced from fair market values.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DIVISION
REPORT ON AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REGARDING
DENSITY REDUCTION, TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS, AND
CLUSTERING CRITERIA IN THE AGRICUL TURAU RURAL DESIGNATION OF THE
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT.
OBJECTIVE: To review in a workshop format proposed amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan regarding density reduction; transfer of development rights;
clustering of development in the Agricultural Area; and water and sewer provision
outside of the Urban Designated Area.
CONSIDERATIONS: In October, 1997, and after five public meetings, the Board of
County Commissioners directed staff at their June 2, 1998 meeting to prepare proposed
comprehensive plan amendments to include: density reduction in the urban and rural
areas; investigation of a transfer of development rights program; criteria for clustering
development as a requirement in the Agricultural/Rural Area; and a review of the
water/sewer service areas' outside of the Urban Area for central county operated
systems and/or privately owned package plants. Attachment 1 contains those proposed
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan to implement these provisions.
Density Reduction Amendments and Transfer of Development Rights
Brian Blaesser, with the law firm of Robinson and Cole, and Dr. James Nicholas,
Economic Consultant and Professor of Urban and Regional Planning with the University
of Florida were retained on June 23,1998 to evaluate the Board's recommendations for
density reduction and to provide their analysis and recommendations. Attachment 2 is
the Consultants' report regarding the economic impact and legal defensibility of the
Density Reduction Amendments proposed by the Board of County Commissioners. The
economic analysis addressed three principal questions:
(1) the potential impact of the Density Reduction Amendments upon land values in the
Urban and Agricultural/Rural areas;
(2) their potential fiscal impact upon the County; and
(3) their potential impact upon housing cost.
The legal defensibility analysis focused upon the potential viability of claims challenging
the proposed Density Reduction Amendments if brought under the Florida Bert J. Harris,
Jr., Private Property Rights Protection Act ("Act"), FLA.STAT. 70.001 (1995).
1
S7.
The Consultants have made the following recommendations:
. Amend the density rating system in the Urban Area to reduce the base density from
4 units to 2 units per acre for parcels 50 acres or greater in size that are
agriculturally zoned, but with the opportunity to:
1. Restore density from 2 to 3 units per acre through design of a development
project that satisfied performance standards based upon Travel Demand
Management Techniques; and
2. Restore density from 3 to 4 units per acre through negotiation and purchase of
a conservation easement that either preserves agricultural land in agricultural
use or preserves natural resource areas. This type of transaction would be
done through a private informal process - not a formal, institutionalized Transfer
of Development Rights process established by the County.
. Concur with the BCC desire to reduce the Activity Center from 16 to 12 units per
acre and the bonus for land within the density bands around Activity Centers from 3
to 2 units per acre.
. Concur with BCC desire to modify the density bonus for Roadway Access to require
that the density bonus be awarded for providing a collector as an interconnection
between two arterials.
· Recommend no change be made to the density bonus of 3 units per acre for infill
properties and the density bonus of up to 8 units per acre for affordable housing.
· Concur with the BCC desire to reduce density in the Agricultural/Rural area from 1
unit per 5 acres to 1 unit per 20 acres.
· Recommend that the density in the Conservation Areas and Natural Resource
Protection Areas be further decreased from the BCC recommendation of 1 unit per
20 acres to 1 unit per 40 acres.
The estimated cost of restoring density from two units per acre back to the density of
four units per acre is $5,500. This includes the estimated costs associated with
modifying the travel demand management techniques and the conservation or
agricultural easements that may be acquired. Table 3 of the Consultants' report
illustrates that PUD' s approved after 1992 have been building at a density of 3.08 unit
per acre, therefore, the market may not be demanding the 4th unit.
The potential risk for a claim being brought and prevailing under the Bert J. Harris
Private Property Rights Act would be significantly reduced with the ability to regain the
density reductions through satisfaction of performance standards or an informal TOR
program that provides for the preservation of agricultural and conservation lands.
The density reductions result in a decrease in the total number of dwelling units
in both the Urban and Rural areas. Table 1 describes the extent of the reduction in
dwelling units in both the BCC recommendations and the Consultants' recommended
modifications. It should be noted that the density reductions in the Conservation Areas
are units that in all likelihood would never be built, except for private in-holdings,
because the lands are under public ownership. Therefore, to be conservative, no units
were assigned to the Conservation - Publicly held lands for the transportation analysis.
The total reduction in dwelling units minus the Conservation lands is 45,732 dwelling
units under the BCC's proposal and 53,468 dwelling units with the Consultants'
modifications.

Transportation analysis
URS Greiner Woodward Clyde were asked to prepare a transportation analysis of four
scenarios:
. Scenario I A:
· Scenario I B:
.
Scenario II A:
Buildout of all Traffic Analysis Zones
Buildout of all Traffic Analysis Zones with the Immokalee Urban
Area T AZ's at 50% buildout
Buildout of all Traffic Analysis Zones that include the proposed
density reductions.
Buildout of all Traffic Analysis Zones that include the proposed
density reductions with the Immokalee Urban Area TAZ's at 50%
buildout.
.
Scenario II B:
The assumptions for density reduction utilized for the Transportation analysis include:
· Activity Center (16-12)
· Density Band (3-2)
· Residenitallnfill (3-2)
· Base Density for Agricultural properties 50 acres or greater (4-2)
· Agricultural land 1 unit per 5 acres west of Golden Gate Estates
· Agricultural land 1 unit per 20 acres east of Golden Gate Estates
· NRPA (Okaloacoochee Slough, Camp Keais, CREW Trust) 1 unit per 40 acres
3
5fl-!-
. Golden Gate Estates I unit per 2 1/4 acres
. The Immokalee Urban Area was analyzed at 50% and 100% of buildout
. No density was allocated to the publicly owned conservation lands
The Immokalee Urban Area was factored at two scenarios because of the significant
increase that would occur at buildout from the 1990 estimates of 5,244 units and 17,000
population to 100% buildout of 40,000 units and 175,000 population. The Revised
Needs Assessment Network was used with the latest version of the FSUTMS model
and the level of service volumes are the most up to date generalized tables produced by
FOOT.
The number of links over capacity in each scenario are identified in Table 2.

Scenario I A 66
Scenario I B 68
Scenario II A 55
Scenario II B 48
Calculating the Immokalee Urban Area at 50% buildout, with no density reductions was
the worst scenario for road links over capacity. Comparing scenario I A and II A , which
shows the Immokalee Area at 100% build out, illustrates the effect only of the proposed
density reduction measures. The sum of the simulated volumes decline 5%, and 85%
percent of the segments show reduced volumes. Comparing scenario I B and II B
preserves the assumption of 50% build out in Immokalee, and illustrates again the effect
of the proposed density reduction amendments. The sum of the volumes decline 11 %,
and 89% of the segment show reduced volumes. Exhibit 1, prepared by the MPO,
summarized the results of Scenario IA (Existing buildout) and Scenario II A (Buildout
with the density reductions) and identifies that 85% of the road links will have reduced
volumes. The extent of the decrease is measured as follows: number of road segments
with decreased volumes at 0 - 5% = 54 links 28%
0- 10% = 34 links 17%
over 10% = 76 links 39%
Clustering development in the Agricultural/Rural Designation
The criteria in Attachment 1 has been developed pursuant to the BCC's direction to.
work with The Conservancy to address clustering in the Agricultural/Rural Area in
response to the Twin Eagles project. The objectives of these preservation requirements
are: to maintain the land's rural character by preserving large contiguous natural areas,
to restore impacted sites to natural areas as these site are converted from agricultural
uses to other uses, and to preserve interconnected wetland systems and wildlife
corridors.
This is first accomplished by preserving existing natural areas on site by directing land
uses to existing impacted areas. If there are insufficient natural vegetative communities
on site to meet the required set aside, then the natural area preservation requirements
4
~o.
can be met by restoring impacted areas on site so that they can eventually become
colonized by natural vegetative communities or by purchasing lands in or adjacent to
Natural Resource Protection Areas as identified on the Future Land Use Map. The
required natural areas shall be protected by a conservation easement limiting the uses
of the land to passive recreational activities. The amendments to the Conservation and
Coastal Management Element for clustering development in the Agricultural and
Conservation land use designations are included in Attachment 1.
Modifications to Policies and Service Areas in the Potable Water & Sanitary Sewer
Sub-elements
The Board of County Commissioners directed staff to review the current district
boundaries for County supplied water and sewer and areas where private package
plants and water systems may be appropriate in conjunction with the requirement for
clustering development. The proposed changes are as follows:
. Modify the district boundaries for county owned and operated water and sewer
service as shown on Maps PW-1 and SS-2 attached. These areas were selected
because of the proposed county acquisition of the Orangetree package plant by the
year 2010 and an existing county water line that extends to Collier Seminole State
Park. This investment in County owned facilities makes these limited areas
appropriate for the provision of water and sewer facilities at a point in time when the
rate payers justify the expansion.
. Modify the policies to allow for package plants of a threshold size of 100,000 gpd.
The size of the plant was utilized because under that size there are operational
problems. Effluent reuse is permitted for plants rated at 100,000 gpd and greater.
. Modify water policies to allow for central systems in projects that are utilizing private
package plants.
. Allow school and school facilities to provide central water and private package
plants for their limited facilities.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The proposed language in Attachment 1 will
amend the Future Land Use Element; the Conservation & Coastal Management
Element; and the Potable Water and Sanitary Sewer Sub-elements of the Growth
Management Plan and amend the Future Land Use Map.
FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact identified in the Consultants report provided a
worst case scenario that the density reductions could result in a $30 million decline in
taxable values for a 0.15% decrease in total taxable values. For illustration purposes,
this decline in taxable values has the potential to raise the County-wide millage rate by
an additional 51 cents for every $100,000 in assessed value. Although difficult to
quantify, it can be assumed that a reduction in population would result in a reduction on
public services and facilities. See Attachment 2 "Evaluation of Proposed
Comprehensive Plan Density Reduction Amendments for a more detailed explanation of
fiscal impact.

Attachment 1
PROPOSED LANGUAGE TO AMEND THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
Urban Area Density Reductions
DENSITY RATING SYSTEM
This Density Rating System is only applicable to areas designated Urban, Urban - Mixed
Use District, as identified on the Future Land Use Map, exclusive of the Urban
Residential Fringe Subdistrict, and exclusive of Urban areas encompassed by the
Immokalee Area Master Plan, Golden Gate Area Master Plan, and Marco Island Master
Plan. The Density Rating System is applicable to the Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict
to the extent that the residential density cap of 4 dwelling units per acre is not exceeded,
except for the density bonus for Affordable Housing and Transfer of Development
Rights. This Density Rating System only applies to residential dwelling units. Within the
applicable Urban Designated Areas, a base density of 4 residential dwelling units per
gross acre is permitted, though not an entitlement. This base level of density may be
adjusted depending upon the characteristics of the project as identified under a. Density
Bonuses. b. Density Reduction. and c. Density Conditions.
a. Density Bonuses
Consistency with the following characteristics may add to the base density.
Density bonuses are discretionary, not entitlements, and are dependent upon meeting
the criteria for each bonus provision and compatibility with surrounding properties, as
well as the criteria in the Land Development Code. All new residential zoning shall be
consistent with the Density Rating System, except as provided in policies 5.9, 5.10 and
5.11 of the Future Land Use Element.
1. Conversion of Commercial Zoning
If the project includes conversion of commerci31 zoning which is not located within a
Mixed Use Activity Center or Interchange Activity Center, orv.'hich is not consistent with
the Neighborhood Village Conter Subdistrict, a bonus of up to 16 dwelling units may bo
added for every 1 acre of commercial zoning which is converted. These dwelling units
may be distributed over the entire praiect. The praiect must be compatible with
surrounding land uses.
6 1. Proximity to Mixed Use Activity Center or Interchange Activity Center
If the project is within one mile of a Mixed Use Activity Center or Interchange Activity
Center and located within a residential density band, J 2 residential units per gross acre
may be added. 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 within the Traffic Congestion Area.
7
IfJ.3L
J. 2. Affordable Housing
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
the project meets the definitions and requirements of the Affordable Housing Density
Bonus Ordinance (Section 2.7.7 of the Land Development Code, Ordinance #91-102,
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.
4,. 3. Residential In-fill
To encourage residential in-fill in areas with 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;
(f) 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 prior to the adoption of this provision in the
Growth Management Plan on January 10, 1989.
5. 4. Roadway Access
If the project has direct accoss to 2 or more artorbl or collector roads as identified in tho
Traffic Circulation Elemont, 1 residential dwelling unit per gross acre may be added.
Density credits based on future roadways v.'i11 be awarded if the developer commits to
construct a portion of--tRe a roadway that will function as an arterial or collector (as
determined by the County Transportation Department) or the road is scheduled for
completion during the first five years of the Capital Improvements Plan. Tho Road..~'ay
Access bonus is not applicable to properties locatod within the Traffic Congestion Area.
5. Travel Demand Management Techniques
To encourage the maximum utilization of the transportation network. those properties
zoned agricultural and 50 acres or greater in size as of January 1. 1999 that have a
base density of 2 units per gross acre may add one additional unit per gross acre
provided the following travel demand management techniques are included in the
project:
Mixed Use Developments
. Provide a mixture of uses. internally accessible within the development including:
residential land uses. personal service commercial. employment opportunities. home
occupations. schools. parks and recreational uses. churches and institutional uses.
Interconnection
· Increase number of connections to the arterial or collector system. consistent with
the Access Control Policy. based on the number of dwelling units in a project.
· Provide public access through proiects which connect with arterial or collector road
network.
· Provide vehicular interconnection from commercial projects to residential projects.
· Provide for shared access between projects.
8
ltL
. Provide for frontage roads or bypass roads around an intersection.
. Construction of a new collector or arterial which connects to other collector or arterial
roadways.
Bikepaths/sidewalks
. Construction or payment in lieu for an identified pathway in the Comprehensive
Pathway Plan.
!... Require a Pathway Plan within the development as part of the rezoning criteria.
--
6. Transfer of Development Rights
To encourage preservation/conservation of natural resources and agricultural
preservation, density transfers are permitted from properties within the Agricultural-
Mixed Use District and the Natural Resource Protection Area-Private Ownership to
properties zoned agricultural and 50 acres in size as of January 1. 1999. , within that
portion of the Urban designated are3 subject to this Density R3ting 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 for agricultural properties 50 acres or greater
in size as of January 1. 1999. that have a base density of 2 units per acre with the
Transfer of Development Rights (TOR) Section 2.2.24.11 of the Land Development
Code adopted by Ordinance #91 102, on October 30, 1991, as 3mended. This section
of the Land Development Code will be amended within one year in order to be
consistent with the requirements of this section of the Future Land Use Element.
b. Density Reduction
Consistency with the following characteristic would subtract density:
1. Traffic Congestion Area
If the project is within the Traffic Congestion Area, an area identified as subject to long
range traffic congestion, 1 dwelling unit per gross acre would be subtracted. The Traffic
Congestion Boundary is shown on the Future Land Use Map and consists of the
western 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.
2. Base density of 2 units per acre
For properties 50 acres or greater in size and zoned agricultural as of January 1. 1999:
and property previously zoned that has not commenced construction pursuant to section
2.7.3.4 and 2.7.2.12.3 of the Land Development Code as the Code existed as of
January 1. 1999: the base density shall be 2 units per gross acre. The base density
may be increased based on the followin~r one unit per gross acre may be added if the
9
L-'L
project is designed to meet the standards identified under the travel demand
management techniques. An additional unit per gross acre may be added if the prQject
meets the requirements under the Transfer of Development Rights Provision.
c. Density Conditions:
The following density condition applies to all properties subject to the Density Rating
System.
1, Maximum Density
The maximum permitted density shall not exceed 16 residential dwelling units per gross
acre within the Urban designated area. , oxcopt when utilizing the Transfor of

II. AGRICUL TURAURURAL DESIGNATION
The Agricultural/Rural Land Use Designation is for those areas that are remote from the
existing development pattern, lack public facilities and services, are environmentally
sensitive or are in agricultural production. 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. The oQjectives of clustering residential units and the
preservation of natural areas are to maintain the land's rural character by preserving
large contiguous natural areas: to restore impacted sites to natural areas as these site
are converted from agricultural uses to other uses: and to preserve interconnected
wetland systems and wildlife corridors and to discourage urban sprawl.
A. Rural Fringe-Mixed Use District
~ :+the following uses are-may be permitted in this District:
a. Agricultural uses such as farming, ranching, forestry, bee-keeping;
b. Residential uses at a maximum density of one dwelling unit on each five acre tract,
except for legal non-conforming lots of record;
1, North Belle Meade Subdistrict
Only the following uses may be permitted in this Subdistrict:
a. Residential dwelling units at a maximum density of one dwelling unit per
five gross acres. except for legal non-conforming lots of record less than 5
acres in size.
2. PUD Neighborhood Village 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 in the Rural Fringe Mixed
Use District. The acreage eligible for Neighborhood Village Center 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 and 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 within 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. The maximum floor area
ratio for commercial development shall be .45.
B. Agricultural - Mixed Use District
The purpose of this 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. Residentk:ll uses 3rc allowed as follows:

Proposed language to Amend the Conservation and Coastal Management Element
Clustering Criteria in the Agricultural/Rural Designation & Conservation
Designation
Add new policies to provide for clustering development in the Agricultural/Rural and
Conservation Designations.
OBJECTIVE 6,4
Development as specified in Policies 6.4.1 and 6.4.2 shall cluster its impacts on
site in order to preserve native vegetative communities and protect wildlife
habitat.
Policy 6.4.2
Within the Agricultural! Rural and Conservation Designation residential
developments: golf course developments: mixed use developments: commercial
development and industrial developments shall set aside 25% of the total site
area as natural areas for projects less than 40 acres and 50% of the total site
area as natural areas for projects equal to or greater than 40 acres. Within the
Agricultural/Rural and Conservation Designations. the following criteria apply to
the above preservation requirements:
a. The preservation requirements for the preservation and restoration of natural
areas are calculated on the gross acreage of the project site. less the non-
littoral zone area of any existing man-made waterbody.
b. The purpose of these preservation requirements in the Agricultural/Rural and
Conservation designated areas is to set aside the required portion of the site
to preserve existing native vegetative communities and/or to restore the
required portion of the site to support the establishment of native vegetative
communities. Natural areas therefore can be comprised of:
(1) Existing native vegetative communities:
(2) Enhanced or restored wetlands and uplands. including areas that are
currently disturbed and can be re-colonized with future native vegetation:
.and
(3) Littoral zones of man-made water bodies. including canals and
stormwater ponds that support wetland vegetation.
Natural areas shall not include areas such as the non-littoral zones of
constructed lakes. the actively managed portion of golf courses such as the
13
~
fairways. greens and rough. tennis courts and other active recreational
areas. mowed common areas and other areas that are planted with turf grass
or non-native s~s.
c. Selection of the areas that comprise the preservation requirement shall
reflect the follown,g criteria in descending order of priority:
(1) Wetland f10wways through the proiect shall be maintained;
(2) Natural areas. especially preserved wetlands. shall be interconnected
within the si~ and to other wetland areas or wildlife corridors off-site:
(3) Wetland and upland areas known to be utilized by listed species or serve
as corridors for the movement of wildlife shall be preserved and protected
in order to facilitate the movement of wildlife through the site:
(4) Upland habitat shall be part of the preservation requirement when
wetlands alone do not constitute all of the requirement. Upland habitats
have the fo~ng descending order of priority:
(a) Any upland habitat that serves as a buffer to a wetland area.
(Q) Xeric Scrub.
ee) Dune and Strand. Hardwood Hammocks.
(d) Dry PraHM. Pine Flatwoods. and
(e) All otheqpand habitats.
d. The destructiontl any naturally functioning native vegetation found on-site
shall be compensated for by the purchase of lands within or adjacent to an
identified NRPAata ratio of 2:1. Vegetative communities having less than
90% invasive emfics shall be defined as naturally functioning since these
exotics can be (etnoved to provide the vegetative community with a sufficient
degree of fun~ity for the purpose of these criteria.
e. Where the per~ge of naturally functioning native vegetation for a site is
initially less thaolte preservation requirement. the stated requirement can be
obtained by (1) C@!ation of wetland or upland areas on site. (2) purchase of
lands within or .cent to an identified NRP A on a 1: 1 basis or (3) a
combination of '11) or (2).
f. Preserved nata areas shall be connected throughout the project area and
be connected lQdf site natural areas to the greatest extent possible.
g. A minimum v~ buffer area of 200 feet shall be provided for all
structures fromh nearest external roadway. This buffer area shall contain
at least 80%'1l;;jg- vegetation. Natural areas can be used for this buffer
requirement.
h. Passive uses sUdt as nature trails are allowed in the natural areas.
i. All lands to be maint;!ined as natural areas within the project or purchased as
off site mitigati~shall be protected by a permanent conservation easement.
prohibiting furthEldevelopment. and setting other standards safeguarding the
site's special re&GIces from negative changes.
i. A management:1Ibn shall be submitted to identify actions that must be taken
through the lifedihP. project to ensure that the natural areas will function as
proposed. Th~'dlM shall address exotic control and treatment. fire
management. aftImaintenance of facilities that provide protection to listed
species.
k. The criteria cC~din Policy 7.1.1h shall also apply.
I. Earth mining stdR!quire the approval of a conditional use. Approval
of the conditio~ll include a requirement that 50% of the total
14
project area be set aside as a natural area should the earth mining
conditional use be converted to a land use specified in Policy 6.4.2.
m. Golf Courses shall adhere to the set aside requirements contained in 6.4.2.
The standards found in 6.4.2a through 6.4.2k shall be used in the design of
the golf course lay-out in order to protect significant portions of native
vegetation and wildlife habitat. Landscaping plans shall require at least
75% of the trees and 50% of the shrubs to be native Floridian species with
at least 75% of these trees and shrubs to be drought-tolerant species. Golf
Courses shall also be designed to incorporate those Best Management
Practices recommended in the publication. Best Management Practices fo r
Golf Course Maintenance Deoartments. FDEP. May 1995.
Policy 6.4,3.
Agriculture shall be exempt from the above preservation requirements contained
in Policy 6.4.1 and 6.4.2 provided that any new clearing of land for agriculture
shall not be converted to non-agricultural development for at least ten years. For
any such conversions in less than ten years. the requirements of 6.4.1 and 6.4.2
shall be applied to the site at the time of the conversion. Within the Urban
Designated Areas. the percentage of naturally functioning native vegetation
preserved shall be calculated on the amount of vegetation occurring at the time
of the agricultural clearing. and if found to be deficient. a native plant community
shall be restored as outlined in 6.4.1 e. Within the Agricultural/Rural and
Conservation designated areas. the required amount of natural areas shall be
those specified in 6.4.2 and any naturally functioning native vegetation
destroyed at the time of agricultural clearing shall be compensated for by the
requirements addressed in 6.4.2 d. The clearing of agricultural land shall be
permitted after all applicable federal and state permits are obtained.
Policy 7.1
h. Projects located within the Agricultural/Rural Designation and Conservation
Designation shall cluster development away from natural areas subiect to the
criteria contained in 6.4.2 in order to protect wildlife habitat and wildlife
corridors, These projects are also required to provide the following:
(1) Utilize the open space requirements to maintain buffer areas between
important wildlife habitats areas and areas dominated by human
activities.
(2) Facilitate wildlife movement along natural trails by preserving appropriate
areas and by utilizing fencing and walls that encourage wildlife to use
natural corridors.
(3) Locate roads away from identified and potential natural travel corridors
used by wildlife.
(4) Provide elevated road crossings when a road must cross an identified
travel corridor used by any listed species.
(5) Utilize appropriate roadway crossing and signage when it is unavoidable
for roadways to cross wildlife trails.
(6) Provide for the appropriate use of fences. walls or other obstructions to
encourage wildlife to use natural corridors or to separate wildlife corridors

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DIVISION
REPORT ON THE PROPOSED STIPULATED SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH
THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS TO RESOLVE A STATEMENT OF
INTENT TO FIND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS NOT IN
COMPLIANCE AS FILED BY THE DEPARTMENT ON DECEMBER 24,1997.
OBJECTIVE: To resolve a notice of intent to find the amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan not in compliance issued the by the Department of Community
Affairs on December 24, 1997 by entering into a Stipulated Settlement Agreement with
the Department and adoption of remedial amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Department of Community Affairs issued a notice of intent to
find the Comprehensive Plan amendments prepared as a result of the Evaluation and
Appraisal Report not in compliance on December 24, 1997. The elements of the
Comprehensive Plan that were found not in compliance and are not effective are as
follows:
1) Intergovernmental Coordination Element;
2) Public Facilities Element - Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub-Element;
3) Public Facilities Element - Drainage Sub-Element;
4) Housing Element;
5) Golden Gate Area Master Plan;
6) Conservation & Coastal Management Element; and
7) Future Land Use Element & Future Land Use Map.
The Statement of Intent from Department of Community Affairs (DCA) is included as
Attachment 1. A summary of the objections are as follows:
1) Intergovernmental Coordination Element - Policy 1.2.6, nor policies elsewhere in
the Comprehensive Plan, establish guidelines or criteria to ensure that schools are
located proximate to residential development; does not identify what land uses may
be incompatible with schools, and does not provide that schools not be located on
environmentally sensitive lands such as unique native habitats and habitats for
endangered species.
2) Public Facilities/Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub-Element - Objective
1.2 does not define an aim, intent or effect that can be meaningfully measured and
does not define the level of protection that is to be afforded ground water resources
and aquifer recharge areas by application of the Ground Water Protection
Ordinance. Policies 1.2.1 through 1.2.4 are vague and do not establish guidelines,
standards, or criteria for applying the Ground Water Protection Ordinance to
development to protect groundwater recharge areas.
3) Public Facilities/Drainage Sub-Element - Policy 1.1.2 does not specify guidelines,
standards, or criteria for discharge rates and adequate water management
capacity, and, therefore does not provide for the protection of natural drainage
features.
<i?.~
4) Housing Element - The County does not use the best available data or provide
alternate data on the estimates of the number of farmworkers and does not include
policies which provide guidelines or criteria for the location of farmworker housing.
5) Golden Gate Area Master Plan - Policy 2.2.3 as revised deletes the provision for
the application of Chapter 28-25 F.A.C. Area of Critical State Concern regulations
to Southern Golden Gate Estates, provide the data and analysis which
demonstrates that natural resources, such as wetlands, native habitats and listed
species will be adequately protected within that portion of the SGGE area.
6) Conservation & Coastal Management Element
Appendix D Natural Resource and Appendix E Hurricane Evacuation were not
provided in the adopted amendment therefore data and analysis was not provided.
(It should be noted that both of these appendices were included in the support
document which is adopted by Resolution and provided to DCA). The Coastal High
Hazard Area was not defined correctly by definition or on the Future Land Use
Map. Objective 6.3 does not provide for the protection of wetlands. Objective 7.3
is vague as to the level of protection to be afforded listed species. Objective 9.4
regarding local storage tank compliance is vague and does not provide protection
of ground water resources. Objective 9.5 regarding regulation of septic tanks
serving industrial activities is vague to the extent of the protection of ground water
resources. Objective 11.6 regarding the Coastal Barrier and Beach system is
vague as to the level of protection to be afforded coastal resources.
7) Future Land Use Element and Future Land Use Map - Policy 3.1 d does not specify
what are appropriate land uses in wellfield protection areas. The Future Land Use
Map does not accurately reflect the Coastal High Hazard Area.
A list of suggested remedial actions were provided by DCA and these have been the
focus of our discussions with regard to settlement. Several parties intervened in this
issue: Florida Wildlife Federation; Collier County Audubon Society; and the District
School Board of Collier County on behalf of the County. An Administrative Hearing was
held the week of May 4th, 1998 where the County staff defended the Comprehensive
Plan as submitted to DCA. The Administrative Law Judge, Robert E. Meale, has not
issued his recommended order in this case and is aware of ongoing settlement
discussions. A Mediation hearing was conducted on August 4th and 5th between DCA
and the County and a report issued by Mr. Simon M. Harrison. Several other meetings
have been held between county staff and staff of the Department of Community Affairs,
as well as the intervenors in this case.
The outcome of all of these meetings is represented in Attachment 2, the proposed
Stipulated Settlement Agreement, for the Board's review and consideration. We have
requested that a representative of the Department of Community Affairs be present to
answer any questions the Board may have.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The proposed Stipulated Settlement Agreement,
if adopted by the Board of County Commissioners and the Department of Community
Affairs, and mayor may not include the intervenors in this case, would be reviewed by
the Governor and Cabinet and result in remedial amendments to the Comprehensive
Plan to resolve the disputed issues.
____23
FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of the density reduction amendments is provided
as part of the agenda package for the density reduction amendments as Attachment 2
"Evaluation of Proposed Comprehensive Plan Density Reduction Amendments"
prepared by Robinson & Cole.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners review and provide
any recommended changes to the proposed Stipulated Settlement Agreement.

. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
NOT IN COMPLIANCE
The Florida Department ofComnnlDtty Affairs hereby issues its Statement of Intent to
find Collier County's Comprehensive Plan Amertd"1ent 971ER, which modifies the eletT\ent!ll of
the Comprehensive Plan, Not in Compliance based upon the Objections, Recommendations and
Comments (ORC) Report issued by the Deputment on July 6, 1997, in relation to
Comprehensive Plan Amendment. 971ER.. The ORC Report is hereby incorporated by reference.
The Department finds that plan amendments adopted by Ordinance Numbers 97-56, 97-59,97-
61,97-63,97-64,97-66, and 97-67 are not "in compliance," as defined in Section
163.3184(1)(b), Florida Statutes (F.S.), b~u~ they are not consistent with the requirements of
Section 163.3177, F.S., the State Comprehensive Plan, and Rule Chapter 9J-5, Florida
Admini.strative Code (F.AC.), for the following reasons:
1. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDlNA nON ELEMENT (Ordinance Number 97-56)
A. Inconsistent Provisions. The inconsistent provisions of the plan am~rlment under
this subject heading are as follows:
1. The County's comprehensive plan permits schools to be located in all land uses,
including rural and conservation. It excludes schools only from jurisdictional
wetlands. This permissiveness, especially with regard to rural and conservation
lands, could encourage urban sprawl. Neither Policy 1.2.6, nor policies elsewhere

RECHARGE SUB-Fl.F.MFNT (OrrlinSlnce Number 97-59)
A. Inconsistent Provisions. The inconsistent provisions of the plan ameatimP.l1t under
this subject heading are u fonows:
1. The County revised Objective 1.2 to provide that the Ground Water Protection
Ordinance shall be implemented to protect ground water resources and aquifer
recharge areas. The objective does not define an aim, intent or effect that can be
mMningfully measured. Specifically, the objective does not define the level of
protection that is to be afforded ground water resources and aquifer recharge ar~
by application of the Ground Water Protection Ordinance. [Rules 9J-5.oo3(86)
and 9J-S.Oll(2)(b)5., F AC.]
2. The County revised Policies 1.2.1 through 1.2.4 to provide that the Ground Wate:
Protection Ordinance will be applied to existing and future developmeut. These
policies are vague and do not establish guidelines, standards, or criteria for
applying the Ground Water Protection Ordinance to development and thereby
protecting the functions of groundwater recharge areas. [Rules 9J-5.oo3(95) and
9J-5.011(2)(c)4., F.AC.]
B. Recommended Remedial Actions:
1. Amend Ordinance 97-59 to define an aim, intent, or effect for Objective 1.2 that
can be m~ningfully measured. - -
2. Amend Ordinance 97-59 to establish guidelines or criteria in Policies 1.2.1
through 1.2.4 for applying the Ground Water Protection Ordinance to
development and thereby protect the functions of gfroundwater recharge areas.
Ill. PUBLIC FACILITIES ELE1v1ENT I DRAINAGE SUB-ELEMENT (Ordinance Numb
97-61)
A Inconsistent Provisions. The inconsistent provisions of the plan. amendment und
this subject heading are as follows:
1. The County revised Policy 1.1.2 to provide that procedures in the land
2
~l
development code as well as those delegated by the South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD) will be implemented to ensure that pre- and l'ost-
development discharge rates are monitored and adequate water management
capacity will be available to serve approved developments. The policy does not
specify guidelines, standards, or criteria for discharge rates and adequate water
mRnllgement capacity, and, therefore does not provide for the protection ofn.amral
drainage features. [Rules 9J-5.003(95) and 9J-5.011(2)(c)4., F.AC.]
B. Recommended Remedial Action:
I. Amend Ordinance 97-61 to establish guidelines or criteria in Policy 1.1.2 for
discharge rates and adequate water manllgement capacity and thereby provide
protection for natural drainage features.
IV. HOUSING ~ (Ordinance 97-63)
A. Incon!ci!ttent Provisions. The inconsistent provisions of the plan amendment under
this subject heaning are as follows:
1.
The County has not used the best data available for determinAtion of farmworker
housing needs. The University of Florida, Shimberg Center has provided recent
(1996) estimAtes offarmworker housing needs for each county in the State; for
Collier County, these data indicate a deficit of2,645 units. Collier County has
declined to include such data in its Housing Element because they believe it does
not reflect recent. downturns in agricultural business there. The County, however,
does not include any information to support their contentions. Without inclusion
of the best available data, development of pertinent objectives and policies to
address ~worker housing needs is hindered. [Rules 9J-5.005(2)(c), 9J-
5.010(2)(b), 9J-5.010(3)(b)I., and 9J-S.OIO(3)(c)5., F.A.C.]
2. Ordinance 97-63 does not include policies which provide guidelines or criteria for
the location offarmworker housing. [Rule 9J-5.010(3)(c)5., ~.A.C.]
B. Recommended Remedial Actions:
1. Amend Ordinance 97-63 to include the best available data regarding housing
needs for farmworkers in Collier County, and revise or add plan objectives and
policies, as necessary, to address any deficiencies.
2. Amend Ordinance 97-63 to include policies that provide guidelines and criteria
for the Ipcation offarmworker housing. Such guidelines and criteria may provide
that farmworker housing shall be located proximate to places of work, transit
services, hospitals, etc.

V. GOLDEN GATE AREA MASTER. PLAN (Oroin~nce Number 97-64)
A. Inconsistent Provisions. The inconsistent provisions of the plan ~mM1timeut under
this subject heading are as follows:
1. The County added a policy (policy 2.1,4) which provides that Chapter 28-25, .
F .A.C., will be applied to those South Golden Gate Estates (SGGE) units located
within the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern (ACSC) and deletes a
policy (policy 2.2,3) that had provided Chapter 28-25, F.A.C., was to be applied
to all lands in SGGE, not just those within the ACSC. Chapter 28-25, F .AC.,
establishes limitations on site alteration, construction of drainage facilities, and
construction of transportation facilities. By excluding application of Chapter 28-
lS,F.A.C., to those lands within the SGGE area, but outside of the ACSC, the
County'provides for.a Jesser degree of protection for natural resources there. The
County has not provided data and analysis which demonstrate that natural
resources, such as wetlands, native habitats, and listed species, will be adequately
protected within that portion of the SGGE area located outside the ACSC. [Rules
9J-5.005(2)(a), 9J-5.013(2)(c)3., 9J-5.013(2)(c)5., 9J-5.013(2)(c)6., 9J-
5.013(2)(c)9., 9J-5.013(3)(a), and 9J-5.013(3)(b), F.AC.]
B. Recommended Remedial Action:
I. Amend Ordinance 97-64 to include data and analysis which evaluates existing
resources, including wetlands, native habitats, and listed species, within the South
Golden Gate Estates area; evaluates the level of protection provided to said
resources via implementation of relevant Plan policies; and to amend Policy 2.1.4,
or add new, additional policies to provide for the protection of said resources
consistent with that provided in Chapter 28-25, F.AC.
VI. . CONSERVATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT (Ordinance Number
97-66)
A. Inconsistent Provisions. The inconsistent provisions of the plan amendment under
this subject heading are as follows:
1. Objective 1.3, as well as an associated objective (Objective 1.1) and policies
(Policies 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, and 1.3.1) provide for the protection of natural
resources through establishment of Natural Resource Protection Areas. The
County revised Objective 1.3 to provide that Natural Resource' Protection Areas
shall be nominated in accordance with a Board-approved process. The County
indicates that this process is described in a new Appendix D in the support
document. However, this Appendix was not provided in adopted Ordinance 97-
66. In the absence of this information relative to the nomination process, it is
uncertain whether the Natural Resource Protection Area program can serve as an
q {~--
effective means for protecting the County's resources. The County's objectives
and policies relative to the Natural Resource Protection Areas are therefore not
supported by adequate data and analysis. [Rules 91-5.005(2)(a), 91-5.012(3)(b),
~J-5.012(3)(c), 9J-S.013(2)(b)2.- 4, 91-5.013(2)(c), and 91-5.013(3), FAC.]
2. Although the County indicated that an analysis and inventory of natural disaster
concerns (to include estimAtes of the DUmber of persons requiring evacuation, the
. munber of persons requiring public shelttJ:, the number of shelter spaces available,
evacuation routes., constraints on evacuation, and evacuation times) was to be ..
included in a new Appendix E in the support document for the Conservation and
Coastal Managemeot EJfl!lTlfI!nt. Appendix E was not included in the adopted
am~d1'Uent. The County therefore does not include data and analysis ~sary to
support Objective 12.1, which serves to mAintain or reduce hurricane evacuation
times, or Policy 12.1.2,. which serves to promote maintf!nAn~ and reduction of
Imrricane evacuation times through regulation ofland use amP-ndmf!nt~ [Rules 9J-
5.005(2)(a), 9J-S.012(2)(e)1., 91-5.012(3)(b)7., F.AC, and 91-5.012(3)(c)4.,
F.A.C.]
3. The County revised Policy 12.2.5 to define the Coastal High Hazard Area as that
area "lying within the Category 1 evacuation zone as determined by the
Emergency Management Director." This definition is inaccurate and should be
the Category 1 evacuation zone as defined in the Regional Evacuation Studv.
[Rules 91-5.003(19), and 91-5.12(3)(c)7., F.A.C.]
4. Objective 6.3 was revised to clarify that transitional zone wetlands shall be those .
defined by State and Federal permitting requirements. The revised objective lacks
a meaningful measure, requiring only that a "portion" of said wetlands shall be
preserved in non-agricultural development. The objective therefore does not
provide for the protection of wetlands. [Rules 91-5.003(86) and 91-5.012(3)(b)1.,
F.A.C.]
5. Objective 7.3 was revised to provide that the County shall continue to develop am
implement programs for protecting wildlife by including measures for the
protectioclrelocation of listed species. The revised objective rem3in~ vague as to
the level of protection to be afforded listed species and, therefore, does not
provide for the protection of said species. [Rules 9J-5.003(86) and 91-
5.013(2)(b)4., F.AC.]
6. Objective 9.4 was revised to provide that the County shall implement the existing
local storage tank compliance program to protect water quality. The revised
objective remains vague as to the extent water quality is to be protected by this
program and, therefore, does not provide for the protection of ground water
resources. [Rules 9J-5.003(86) and 9J-5.013(2)(b)2., F.AC.]
7. Objective 9.5 was revised to provide that the County shall implement its Ground
q~.-
Water Protection Ordinlln~ to regulate the use of septic tanks serving industrial
activities. The revised objective ff'!I'I1l1;nc vague as to the extent water quality is to
be protected by this Ordinance and, therefore, does not provide for the protection
of ground water resources. [Rules 9J-5.003(86) and 9J-5,013(2)(b)2., F .AC.]
8. Ql?jective 11.6 was revised to provide that the County shall implement the Coastal
Barrier and Beach System Management Program (of the IDC) by conserving
habitats, species, shoreline and dunes within the coastal zone. The revised
objective r~airnt vague u to the level of protection to be afforded coutal
resources and, therefore, does not provide for the protection of coastal resources.
[Rules 91-5.003(86), 9I-5.012(3)(b)1., 9J-5,013(2)(b)2., 9I-5.013(2)(b)3., and 91-
5.013(2)(b)4., F.AC.]
B. Recommended Remedial.Actions:
1. Amend Ordinance 97-66 to include data and analysis relative to the nomination
process for Natural Resource Protection Areas and which demonstrate that the
Natural Resource Protection Area program is viable and sufficient to protect the
County's natural resources.
2. Amend Ordinance 97-66 to include an analysis and inventory ofnatural disaster
concerns (mcluding the number of persons requiring evacuation, the number of
persons requiring public shelter, the number of shelter spaces available,
evacuation routes, constraints on evacuation, and evacuation times).
3. Amend Ordinance 97-66 to define the Coastal High Hazard Area (cmIA) in
Policy 12.2.5 consistent with Rule 9J-5.003(19), F.AC. The CHHA should be
defined as the Category 1 evacuation zone as delineated in the Regional
Evacuation Study.
4. Am~d Ordinance 97-66 to define an aim, intent, or effect for Objective 6.3 that
can be mf".aningfully measured and thereby provide for the protection of wetlands
in non-agricultural development.
5. Amend Ordinance 97-66 to define an aim, intent, or effect for Objective 7.3 that
can be meaningfully measured and thereby provide for the protection of listed
specIes.
6. Amend Ordinance 97-66 to define an aim, intent., or effect for Objective 9.4 that
can be meaningfully measured and thereby provide for the protection of ground
water resources.
7. Amend Ordinance 97-66 to define an aim, intent., or effect for Objective 9.5 that
can be meaningfully measured and thereby provide for the protection of ground
water resources. .
93
8. Amend Ordinance 97-66 to define an aim, intent, or effect for Objective 11.6 that
can be meaningfully measured and thereby provide for the protection of coastal
resources.
VII. FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT AND FUTURE LAND USE MAP (Orninanc:e
Number 97-67)
A Inconsistent ProvisioDS. The inconsistent provisions of the plan amendment under
this subject heaning are as fonows:
1. The County indicates that policies for the protection potable water welIfields are
included in Policy 3.l.d of the Future Land Use Element and revised Policies
1.2.1 and 1.2.2 of the Natural Ground Wakr Aquifer Recharge Sub-ElemePt
These refex:enced polices provide only that the County's Ground Water Protection
Ordinance shall be implemented to protect wellfields. They do not specify what
arc appropriate land uses in wellfield protection areas. [Rules 9J-5.003(95) and
9J-5.006(3)(c)6., F.AC.]
2.
The CountY revised the Future Land Use Map to delineate the Coastal High
Hazard Area (CHHA) based on the Category 1 storm evacuation zone as
determined by the Emergency Management Director. This delineation is
inaccurate and not based on the best available data. The CHHA should be
delineated based on the Category 1 storm evacuation zone as defined by the
Re~onal Evacuation Study. not as by the Emergency Management Director. The
CHHA identified on the revised Future Land Use Map is inconsistent with the
Regional Evacuation Study (1995 update) because it does not include all of the
Copeland.lI:Alrah::ltchee evacuation zone, [Rules 9J-5.003(19), 9J-5.005(2)(c), and
9J-5.006(4)6., F.AC.]
B. Recommended Remedial ActiQns~ .
1. Amend Ordinance 97-67 to provide guidelines or criteria in Policy 3.1.d for
applying the Ground Water Protection Ordinance to land use approvals and which
identify land uses which are inappropriate for protection ofwellfields.
2. Amend Ordinance 97-67 to delineate the Coastal High Hazard Area on the Future
Land Use Map based on the Category 1 evacuation zone as defined in the
Regional Evacuation Study. The CHHA. may include an area greater that that
defined in the Regional Evacuation Study; but in no case should it be less than
that area.

VIn. ADDmONAL COMMENTS
In addition to the .non-<:ompfiancc issues noted above, Department advises of the following as
Comm~s to the respective ordin~Qce:
A. 1;RANSPORTATION ELEMENT (Ordinance 97-62)
1. Ahhough the County indicated that the support document will be Amf'll'lded to
include an evaluation ofits storm eva~tltion facilities, a revised support
doQtroent containing SUch evaluation was not provided in the adopted Atn~dT1'lent
as required by Rule 9J-S.019(3)(c), F .AC.
B. HOUSING ELEMENT (Ordin."cc 97-63)
1. Objective 2 is inconsistent with Objective 1 of the Housing Element. Both
objectives refer to the County's anmtal goal for the provision of housing units
affordable to very low, low, and moderate income households; however,
Objective 1 indicates the goal is 500 units, while Objective 2 indicates it is 750
UDits.

units and the preservation of natural areas are to maintain the land's rural character by preserving large
contiguous natural areas: to restore impacted sites to natural areas as these site are converted from
agricultural uses to other uses: and to preserve interconnected wetland systems and wildlife corridors and
to discourage urban sprawl.

possess ecological and physical characteristics that justify attempts to maintain these important natural
resources. Barrier Islands, coastal bays and wetlands deserve particular 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.

endangered and threatened wildlife by preventing the fragmentation of large natural systems.
This obiective shall be made measurable by implementing the following policies.
Policy 6.1.1
Natural Resource Protection Areas (NRPAs) are areas within Collier County that the County has
designated as environmentally sensitive based upon one or more of the following criteria:
.!.. having large connected wetland systems.
.!.. providing critical habitat to a number of listed species.
. providing connections to other preserved and protected areas. and
not being excessively fragmented by current transportation systems and residential
development patterns unless an active acquisition and restoration plan addresses these
impacts.
Policy 6.1.2
Based upon the application of the above criteria. Collier County has determined that the following
areas qualify as NRPAs:
.!.. Big Cypress National Preserve and Addition

Policy 6.1.3.
Incompatible land uses shall be directed away from NRPAs in order to protect large areas of
connected wetland systems and associated critical habitats for listed species. The Future Land
Use Element provides a listing of allowable uses and residential densities that have been selected
to protect these environmentally sensitive areas and their associated wetlands and wildlife
habitats.
Policy 6.1.4.
The functions of these areas are also protected by the application of clusterinQ criteria found in
Policy 6.4.2 and wildlife protection criteria found in Policy 7.1.1 h. In addition to these criteria.
stormwater management systems discharQinQ in a NRPA shall provide one-half inch of dry
retention pretreatment.
Policy 6.1.5.
Non-aQricultural development within 1.000 feet of an NRPA boundary shall meet the followinQ
criteria in order to reduce the impact of the development on NRPAs and natural reservations:
1. The proiect shall be located as far from the NRPA boundary as possible.
2. ReQuired open space shall be used to buffer the NRPA from the most intense uses of the
project.
3. The project shall demonstrate protection for listed species in proximity to the proiect within the
NRPA. Where applicable. provision shall be made to accommodate the movement of wildlife
through the project to the NRPA.
4. Stormwater management systems discharging to the NRPA shall be designed to provide at
least one half inch of dry detention or retention pretreatment.
Policy 6.1.6.
Within one year from the effective date of these policies the County shall adopt Land
Development Regulations to implement the NRPA protection standards.
2. Renumber Objective 6.7 and its policies to Objective 6.2 and modify Policy 6.2.2.
Policy ~ 6.2.2.
The County shall continue to meet periodically with the appropriate counties to discuss upcoming
land development projects that would lave an impact on ecological communities in the Counties.

OBJECTIVE 6.3
There shall be no net loss of marine and fresh water wetland functions.
23
/ /9.
Policy 6.3.1
Wetlands identified by the 1994-95 SFWMD land use and cover inventory are mapped on the
Future Land Use Map series. All wetlands. as verified by jurisdictional field delineation at the time
of project permitting. are designated as environmentally sensitive areas and shall be protected by
policies contained within this objective.
Policy 6.3.2.
Wetlands shall be defined pursuant to the Section 373.019 Florida Statutes and Section 373.421
Florida Statutes as the law exists as of January 1. 1999.
Policy 6.3.3.
Marine wetlands are defined as areas with a water regime determined primarily by tides and
where the dominant vegetation is salt tolerant plant species.
Policy 6.3.4.
Large. interconnected marine and freshwater wetland systems supporting many listed species
and located in areas that have not been subiected to negative impacts are considered to have
high environmental value and are classified by the County as priority wetlands. Protection of
these systems is accomplished by the criteria found within the identified Natural Resource
Protection Areas (Objective 6.1 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element) and
standards for Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern in the Future Land Use Element.
Policy 6.3.5
Incompatible Land Uses are directed away from wetlands by the following mechanisms:
1. Natural Resource Protection Areas identify those wetland systems that have a value high
enough to iustify residential densities as low as 1 unit per 40 acres. Densities for these
systems and the prohibitions of other non-residential land uses are identified in the Future
Land Use Element:
2. Residential densities are limited to 1 unit per 20 acres in the Agricultural/Rural areas of Collier
County:
3. Asphalt Plants shall not be located in wetlands (Reference Future Land Use Element):
4. Clustering non-agricultural land uses away from wetlands is required in all of Collier County:
5. Development shall first avoid wetland impacts and then minimize impacts when they are
unavoidable.
Policy 6.3.6
Marine wetlands shall also be protected through the following mechanisms:
1 . New and expanded wet slip marinas and multi-family facilities shall not exceed densities of 18
boat slips for every 100 feet of shoreline.
2. The following priority ranking for siting of shoreline development and the resultant destruction
or disturbance of native vegetative communities for water dependent/water related land uses
shall apply (Reference Conservation and Coastal Management Element Policy 10.1.4):
a. areas presently developed.
b. disturbed uplands.
c. disturbed freshwater wetlands.
d. disturbed marine wetlands.
e. unaltered uplands.
f. unaltered freshwater wetlands.
g. unaltered marine wetlands.
3. Mangrove alterations shall conform to applicable FDEP standards.

I ;!Q.
Policy 6.3.7.
Where appropriate. freshwater wetlands shall be incorporated into stormwater management plans
in order to restore and enhance the historic hydroperiod and ensure the continuity of natural flow
~
Policy 6.3.8.
Proposed development on parcels containing wetlands shall direct land uses away from wetlands
by clustering the development to maintain the largest contiguous wetland area practicable and to
preserve the pre-development hydroperiod. This policy shall be implemented through the
application of federal and state wetland permitting programs where the applicant shall first avoid
wetland impacts and then minimize impacts when they are unavoidable. This policy is not
intended to duplicate any federal or state wetlands permitting program.
Policy 6.3.9.
Where proiects have unavoidable adverse impacts to wetlands. mitigation shall be required in
order to ensure that the proiect does not result in a net loss of wetland functions. A no-net loss of
wetland functions is presumed to occur for projects receiving federal and state permits and having
an overall mitigation ratio of not less than 1 acre mitigated for 1 acre impacted. Removal of
invasive exotics vegetation shall not be considered as part of the overall mitigation ratio.
Guidelines for mitigation are as follows:
1. All mitigation shall occur in Collier County. Mitigation for development in Coastal area
wetlands shall occur in the Coastal area. For mitigation of freshwater wetlands outside of the
Coastal area. first consideration should be given to mitigation on site. followed by mitigation in
the adiacent contiguous area. followed by mitigation in the same watershed. followed by
mitigation in adiacent watersheds.
2. For projects that require wetland mitigation an entity shall be designated responsible to
monitor the compliance of the mitigation stipulation.
Policy 6.3.10.
All non-agricultural development proiects and individual single family residential building permits in
Southern Golden Gate Estates and the Area of Critical State Concern impacting wetlands shall
obtain the appropriate federal and state permits before Collier County issues its final approval of
the proiect.
Policy 6.3.11.
Collier County shall inform applicants for individual single family building permits which are not
part of a development proiect receiving a wetlands permit. such as North Golden Gate Estates.
that federal and state wetland permits may be required prior to construction and shall notify the
applicable federal and state agencies of single family building permits applications in these areas.
Policy 6.3.12.
These policies shall not be construed to prevent timbering operations so long as timbering
operations utilize best management practices to minimize the effects on the wetlands.
Policy 6.3.13.
Credits toward the Park and Recreational Impact Fee shall be given for any upland conservation
buffer preserved on site for passive recreation uses and serves to protect a wetland. The credit
shall be set on a per acre preserve basis. A conservation easement or other permanent
dedication shall be created for any buffer for which an impact fee credit is given.
OBJECTIVE 6.4
Development as specified in Policies 6.4.1 and 6.4.2 shall cluster its impacts on site in order to
preserve native vegetative communities and protect wildlife habitat.
25

Within the Urban designated area. the following criteria apply to the above preservation
requirements:
a. The preservation requirements are calculated on the amount of naturally functioning native
vegetation found on-site. Vegetative communities having less than 90% invasive exotics
shall be defined as naturally functioning since these exotics can be removed to provide the
vegetative community with a sufficient degree of functionality for the purpose of these criteria.
b. The preservation of the native vegetation shall include both the understory and the ground
cover emphasizing the largest contiguous area possible.
c. The preservation of different contiguous habitats is encouraged. When several different
native plant communities exist on site. the development plans will reasonably attempt to
preserve examples of all of them if possible.
d. Where a project has included open space. recreational amenities. or preserved wetlands that
meet or exceed the minimum open space criteria of Collier County. this policy shall not be
construed to require a larger percentage of open space set aside to meet the native
vegetation requirements.
e. Exceptions. by means of mitigation in the form of increased landscape requirements. shall be
granted for parcels which can not reasonably accommodate both the preservation area and
the proposed activity. Where native preservation requirements are not accommodated. the
landscape plan shall re-create a native plant community in all three strata (ground covers.
shrubs and trees). utilizing larger plant materials so as to more quickly re-create the lost
mature vegetation.
f. Previously cleared parcels. void of native vegetation. shall be exempt from this requirement.
g. This policy shall not be interpreted to allow development in wetlands. should the wetlands
alone constitute more than the portion of the site required to be preserved.
Policy 6.4.2
Within the Agricultural/ Rural and Conservation Designation residential developments: golf course
developments: mixed use developments: commercial development and industrial developments
shall set aside 25% of the total site area as natural areas for proiects less than 40 acres and 50%
of the total site area as natural areas for proiects equal to or greater than 40 acres. Within the
Agricultural/Rural and Conservation Designations. the following criteria apply to the above
preservation requirements:
26
I~d.
a. The preservation requirements for the preservation and restoration of natural areas are
calculated on the gross acreage of the proiect site. less the non-littoral zone area of any
existing man-made waterbody.
b. The purpose of these preservation requirements in the Agricultural/Rural and Conservation
designated areas is to set aside the required portion of the site to preserve existing native
vegetative communities and/or to restore the required portion of the site to support the
establishment of native vegetative communities. Natural areas therefore can be comprised
Qt
(1 )
(2)
Existing native vegetative communities:
Enhanced or restored wetlands and uplands. including areas that are currently disturbed
and can be re-colonized with future native vegetation: and
(3) Littoral zones of man-made water bodies. including canals and stormwater ponds that
support wetland vegetation.
Natural areas shall not include areas such as the non-littoral zones of constructed lakes. the
actively managed portion of golf courses such as the fairways. greens and rough. tennis
courts and other active recreational areas. mowed common areas and other areas that are
planted with turf grass or non-native species.
c. Selection of the areas that comprise the preservation requirement shall reflect the following
criteria in descending order of priority:
(1) Wetland flowways through the project shall be maintained:
(2) Natural areas. especially preserved wetlands. shall be interconnected within the site and
to other wetland areas or wildlife corridors off-site:
(3) Wetland and utlland areas known to be utilized by listed species or serve as corridors for
the movement of wildlife shall be preserved and protected in order to facilitate the
movement of wildlife through the site:
(4) Upland habitat shall be part of the preservation requirement when wetlands alone do not
constitute all of the requirement. Upland habitats have the following descending order of
priority:
(a) Any upland habitat that serves as a buffer to a wetland area.
(b) Xeric Scrub.
(c) Dune and Strand. Hardwood Hammocks.
(d) Dry Prairie. Pine Flatwoods. and
(e) All other upland habitats.
d. The destruction of any naturally functioning native vegetation found on-site shall be
compensated for by the purchase of lands within or adjacent to an identified NRPA at a ratio
of 2:1. Vegetative communities having less than 90% invasive exotics shall be defined as
naturally functioning since these exotics can be removed to provide the vegetative community
with a sufficient degree of functionality for the purpose of these criteria.
e. Where the percentage of naturally functioning native vegetation for a site is initially less than
the preservation requirement. the stated requirement can be obtained by (1) creation of
wetland or upland areas on site. (2) purchase of lands within or adjacent to an identified
NRPA on a 1:1 basis or (3) a combination of (1) or (2).
Preserved natural areas shall be connected throughout the project area and be connected to
off site natural areas to the greatest extent possible.
g. A minimum vegetated buffer area of 200 feet shall be provided for all structures from the
nearest external roadway. This buffer area shall contain at least 80% native vegetation.
Natural areas can be used for this buffer requirement.
h. Passive uses such as nature trails are allowed in the natural areas.
All lands to be maintained as natural areas within the project or purchased as off site
mitigation. shall be protected by a permanent conservation easement. prohibiting further
development. and setting other standards safeguarding the site's special resources from
negative changes.
f.
i.
27
/:13.
j. A management plan shall be submitted to identify actions that must be taken through the life
of the proiect to ensure that the natural areas will function as proposed. The plan shall
address exotic control and treatment. fire management. and maintenance of facilities that
provide protection to listed species.
k. The criteria contained in Policy 7.1.1 h shall also apply.
I. Earth mining shall require the approval of a conditional use. Approval of the
conditional shall include a requirement that 50% of the total project area be set
aside as a natural area should the earth mining conditional use be converted to a
land use specified in Policy 6.4.2.
m. Golf Courses shall adhere to the set aside requirements contained in 6.4.2. The
standards found in 6.4.2a throu<,Jh 6.4.2k shall be used in the design of the <,Jolf course
lay-out in order to protect si<,Jnificant portions of native vegetation and wildlife habitat.
Landscaping plans shall require at least 75% of the trees and 50% of the shrubs to be
native Floridian species with at least 75% of these trees and shrubs to be drought-
tolerant species. Golf Courses shall also be designed to incorporate those Best
Management Practices recommended in the publication. Best Management Practices
for Golf Course Maintenance DeDartments. FDEP. May 1995.
Policy 6.4.3.
Agriculture shall be exempt from the above preservation requirements contained in Policy 6.4.1
and 6.4.2 provided that any new clearing of land for agriculture shall not be converted to
non-agricultural development for at least ten years. For any such conversions in less than ten
years. the requirements of 6.4.1 and 6.4.2 shall be applied to the site at the time of the
conversion. Within the Urban Designated Areas. the percentage of naturally functioning native
vegetation preserved shall be calculated on the amount of vegetation occurring at the time of the
agricultural clearing. and if found to be deficient. a native plant community shall be restored as
outlined in 6.4.1 e. Within the Agricultural/Rural and Conservation designated areas. the required
amount of natural areas shall be those specified in 6.4.2 and any naturally functioning native
vegetation destroyed at the time of agricultural clearing shall be compensated for by the
requirements addressed in 6.4.2 d. The clearing of agricultural land shall be permitted after all
applicable federal and state permits are obtained.
Policy 6.4.4.
Non-agricultural developments shall submit and implement plans for invasive exotic plant removal
and long-term control.
Policy 6.4.5.
In the event that the County adopts an open space recreational system. consideration should be
given to incorporating the linkage and protection objectives of the retained habitat.

Drainage Sub-element
COLLIER COUNTY DRAINAGE BASIN DISCHARGE RATES
In 1989 and 1990. durino the final development of the Collier County Stormwater Management
Master Plan. an ad hoc committee was formed under the direction of the Water Manaoement
Department (now named the Stormwater Management Department). The volunteer members of
the ad hoc committee consisted of County staff and representatives from several of the local
enoineering consulting firms involved in the daily development of stormwater management plans.
The purpose of the ad hoc committee was to develop a consensus on establishing drainage basin
average discharoe rates and maximum post-development discharge rates for new developments
while considerino the following obiectives:
.al utilize information and recommendations from existing engineering studies when available.
bl. consider the existing capacities and conditions of the stormwater management canal systems.
d consider the impacts to the environment.
.dl consider the potential physical and economic impacts on existing and future public and private
development activity.
,-.
One of the first areas of the County evaluated by the ad hoc committee was the geographic region
known as Water Management District NO.6 which is located in the southeastern portion of the
urban area. The Big Cypress Basin funded a study of the area in 1985 by the consulting firm of
Wilson. Miller. Barton and Peek. Inc. Their conclusions. in a report titled "Master Plan Update for
Water Management District No.6". identified the typical rate of discharge from undeveloped areas
as 0.12 cubic feet per second per acre (cfs/acre) for the region studied. The typical rate of
discharge from developed areas was higher and varied with the size of the area. The Study's
recommendations included many channel and drainage structure improvements which were
based upon a basin average discharge rate of 0.12 cfs/acre. In order to achieve the average
discharge rate of 0.12 cfs/acre. the County had been unofficially requiring new developments to
restrict their discharge rates to 0.06 cfs/acre to offset the impact from older existing
developments. This restriction was based upon the fact that approximately half of the land area
within the Lely Main and Lely Branch Canal Sub-basins was currently undeveloped. These two
sub-basins formed the heart of the Water Management District NO.6 study area where future
public water management imQrovements were proposed. The ad hoc committee evaluated this
restrictive discharge rate and agreed that it was necessary to officially establish a maximum post-
development discharge rate of 0.06 cfs/acre for all areas discharging into the Lely Main Canal.
which includes the Lely Branch Canal.
The next area of the County evaluated by the ad hoc committee was the northern portion of the
urbanized area served by the Cocohatchee River Canal. This region was studied by the
consulting firm of Gee and Jenson Engineers. Architects. and Planners. Inc. in 1981. One of the
recommendations of their report was that a maximum post-development discharge rate for any
new development within the basin study area should be established as 24.6 CFS/square mile
which equates to 0.04 cfs/acre. The ad hoc committee evaluated this recommendation in relation
to development activities that had occurred subsequent to 1981 and determined that the 0.04
cfs/acre discharge rate would still be valid for all areas discharging into the Cocohatchee River
QanaJ..
For the remaining portions of the County. the ad hoc committee spent considerable time and effort
in arriving at a consensus. For the existing Airport Road Canal South Sub-basin. the decision was
made to recommend a maximum post-development discharge rate of 0.06 cfs/acre based upon
the strong similarity of conditions to the Main Lely Canal Basin. The Airport Road Canal South is
34
/30.
a fairly restricted canal with little possibility of enlargement. The basin was approximately half
developed for residential or commercial purposes with sizable agricultural tracts that would soon
be facing redevelopment. It was agreed that a restrictive discharge rate of 0.06 cfs/acre would
help the basin approach an overall average of approximately 0.15 cfs/acre which was
manageable for the existing canal capacity.
All other areas of the County were identified as reasonably similar to undeveloped lands within
both the Water Management District NO.6 and Cocohatchee River Basins. Utilizing the previous
studies it was finally agreed that an average discharged rate of approximately 0.1 to 0.3 cfs/acre
would be derived if a detailed analysis were performed for the entire area. Subsequent
consensus building discussions arrived at a final ad hoc committee recommended maximum post-
development discharge rate of 0.15 cfs/acre for all portions of the County not specifically identified
as having more restrictive discharge rates. The ad hoc committee also developed provisions for
variances from these discharge rates based upon site specific engineering studies to confirm
historical pre-development discharQe rates. Subsequent usage of these variance provisions has
proven to be very minimal in number and area affected.
On January 23. 1990 the Collier County Board of County Commissioners accepted the
recommendations of the ad hoc committee and established them as official regulatory policy by
placinQ them in Ordinance No. 90-10. which ordinance was then incorporated into the Drainage
Sub-element Support Document of the County Comprehensive Plan.

9.0 HURRICANE AND DISASTER PLANNING
9.1 HURRICANE VULNERABILITY
The hurricane vulnerability of Collier County has been analyzed using a numerical storm
surge prediction model know as SLOSH, short for Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from
Hurricanes. This model is described in detail in the Regional Hurricane Evacuation Plan.
1996. prepared by the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council; as well a A Storm
Surge Atlas for Southwest Florida. prepared by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, updated 1990. These reports analyzed some 727 separate storms for their
potential impact on Southwest Florida, including Collier County. Both reports provide an
assessment of methodologies and provide assumptions that can act towards increasing or
decreasing forecast flood and wind conditions. However, in summary, the following
assumptions can be made;
1. Landfalling storms provide the worst flooding potential
2. . Flooding will be worse south of the eye of the hurricane
3. Wind conditions making roads unsafe for travel will arrive well before the
eye of the hurricane, and usually before flood waters inundate evacuation
routes
4. Storm landfall prediction is not an exact science. Any approaching storm
has the capacity to strengthen or veer, decreasing or increasing the
flooding and surge potential of the storm.
The SLOSH model used thirty-three points in Collier County for time history analysis.
These points are depicted on Map 1.
The SLOSH model also provided maps of the flooding that may be expected in Collier
County. The 727 different simulations have been summarized by flood category, and a
zone for each category has be created depicting the maximum extent of flooding resulting
from all of the storms of that category. The five zones thus created are also depicted on
Map 9.

COLLIER COUNTY HURRICANE EV ACUA nON STUDY
HURRICANE VULNERABILITY
The hurricane wlnerability of Collier County has been analyzed using a numerical storm surge
prediction model known as SLOSH, short for Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from
Hurricanes (complied by the National Hunicane Center). This model performed in 1990 is an
update over the model used in previous Council reports (S~uthwest Florida Regional
Hurricane Evacuation Plan, 1981-82 and 1987 Update, prepared by the Southwest Florida
Regional Planning Council;) (A Storm Surge Atlas for Southwest Florida, prepared by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Updated, @ 1983). This Southwest Florida
Regional Hurricane Evacuation Study Update 1995 is based on the hazard analysis results
contained in the Hurricane Storm Tide Atlas for Collier County. "1991, both prepared by the
staff and approved by the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council which is an appendix to
this report but is a separate volume (See Map 1 which is a County summary of this Atlas). This
updated SLOSH Model analyzed some 727 separate storms for their potential impact on
Southwest Florida, including Collier County. In summary, based on the results of the Model and
Atlas the following assumptions can be made:
(1) Landfalling storms provide the worst flooding potential,
(2) Flooding will be worse south of the eye of the hurricane,
(3) Wind conditions making roads unsafe for travel will arrive well before
the eye of the hurricane, and usually before flood waters inundate
evacuation routes,
(4) Storm landfall prediction is not an exact science. Any approaching stonn
has the capacity to strengthen or veer, decreasing or increasing the
flooding and surge potential of the storm.
The results of the 727 different simulations have been summarized by five flood categories:
tropical storm, category one, category 2, category 3, and category 4/5. A zone for each
category has been created depicting the maximum extent of flooding resulting from all of the
storms of that category (e.g. Maximum of the Maximums (MOM)). The five zones thus created
are depicted on Map 1.
The SLOSH model used thirty-three points in Collier County for time history analysis. These
points are depicted in the Tide Atlas and on Map 1. The greatest height of stormwater flooding
for each category storm (indicated in the Legend on Map 1) and each point are summarized on
each plate of the Atlas.

Total estimated cost public and private from Hurricane Andrew in Collier County was
$35,000,000. A total of 5,200 properties were affected mostly in the southern half of the county
as was expected based on the highest wind speeds as indicated in the fact sheet above.
When Hurricane Donna hit Collier County in 1960, the County's population was 15,753 (1960
Census) concentrated primarily in Naples, Immokalee and Everglades City. Except for the
Immokalee area, the greater part of the County's inhabited areas were inundated by flood waters.
Damage in Everglades City was so great that plans to relocate the County seat were finalized, and
relocation was completed in the following year.
Hurricane Alberto was a near miss for the County. This storm fonned off the Southwest Florida
Coast in 1982, but decreased in intensity to such a degree that it was a tropical depression when it
made landfall. However, its actions mimicked those predicted by the SLOSH model to the extent
that high waters again inundated the Southeast Collier Shoreline, submerging Everglades City
II-A-5
/ 1/-0-
below approximately three feet of seawater for several hours. There was, however, no surge
force resulting in significant damage to property.
Hurricane Floyd provided the area a scare on October 16, 1987. However, it veered due east
before the County received any impacts beyond gale force wind gusts and somewhat higher tides.
A voluntary evacuation order put approximately 600 persons in public shelters and an unknown
number in area hotels, homes, and out of region locations.
ANALYSIS AND MANIPULA nON OF DATA BY A COMPUTER SPREADSHEE.T
In an effort to give local, state and regional agencies involved in comprehensive emergency
management planning for hurricanes more control over the assumptions and data results (e.g. the
ability to create scenarios or input the assumptions to fit the real time hurricane event) a computer
spreadsheet has been developed to calculate all the results of the following tables in the text of
this county report. All the tables with the exception of Tables 10 and 26 are in fact "linked" to the
text of this county report. With this linking process the user of this text, which must be read from
a personal computer with the appropriate software, is able to more fully interact with the data by
determining how the results wer~ derived by viewing the fonnulas within the spreadsheet.
Furthennore, development of the computer spreadsheet offers the user greater ability to rapidly
evaluate a different set of assumptions which drive the results. Rapid manipulation of the
hurricane evacuation data is extremely necessary to all levels of government throughout all phases
(mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery) of a hurricane emergency. One of the primary
examples of an assumption which can be varied in the spreadsheet is the percent evacuating. For
example, prior to a hurricane evacuation being recommended or ordered it may be known (based
on traffic movements) that 10 percent of the vulnerable population has evacuated early and that
(based on behavioral surveys) 10 percent may not evacuate, an 80 percent evacuating assumption
can be entered into the spreadsheet cell which will change the results of all tables in the
spreadsheet with the exception of Tables 4 (County Shelters) and Table 8 (Evacuation Route
Capacities). The primary assumptions, and multipliers, including the occupancy rates discussed in
the next section, some of which can and should be changed particularly if new infonnation
becomes available to support different assumption or multipliers to fit the specific hurricane
scenario threatening Collier County are listed below and are discussed more fully in each section
below.

AFFECTED POPULATION
Each hurricane flood zone depicted on Map 1 encompasses large segments of the County
population. Each one has a certain degree of wlnerability to the threat of hurricane induced
flooding. Excluding tropical storm zones, category 1 zones have the most repeated threat
potential, whereas it is highly unlikely (but the potential exists) that category 4/5 areas will need
to someday evacuate. Mobile homes and recreational. vehicle residents will be the only persons
recommended to evacuate for those tropical storms approaching hurricane strength. This 1995
update assumed all mobile homes were built to pre-1994 code, while future updates may not
make this assumption for the additional mobile home units placed in Collier County.
Each hurricane flood zone mimics the coastline. Geographically, however, these zones are too
cumbersome to effectively assess the timing and shelter needs of the population. Consequently, in
'association with CoUier County Emergency Management and Planning Departments, some of the
new hurricane evacuation zone boundaries created with the 1991 Update are consistent with the
socio-economic blocks used by the County.The hurricane evacuation zones are boundaries based
on locally known communities or geographic areas which have commonly understood names.
This 1995 update makes no changes to these evacuation zones as def)icted on Map 2.
In order to forecast population and vehicle usage for these evacuation zones, it is necessary to
determine the number of dwelling units, and dwelling unit types. The source for the number of
single-family, duplexes, multi-family and mobile homes is from the "Demographic and Economic
Profile of Collier County, September 1994" compiled by the Collier County Long Range Planning
Section. The source for the number of recreation vehicles is from a Department of Health and
Rehabilitation Services, Health Program Office document titled "Mobile Home Park and
Recreation Vehicle Park Registration. The source for the number of hotel/motel units is from the
Department of Business and Professional Regulation Division of Hotel and Restaurants, Master
Listing of Accounts sorted by county, class and file number.
It is estimated that in 1995 there are 111,610 total dwelling units in the areas affected by the
worst case category 4/5 hurricane flooding or required to evacuate due to high winds within the
County. The greatest concentration of these, 47.7%, are located in the category 1 zone. This
can be seen in Table 1, which provides the estimate of dwelling units in the County by category
hurricane storm surge zone and by evacuation zone name.
Using the housing unit estimate, a population estimate is then made based on persons per
household, and vacancy rate. Persons per household were estimated to be 2.4 in Collier County,
regardless of unit. Whereas, this assumption has inaccuracies, the end result does not differ
significantly from a more detailed analysis (e.g. by evacuation zone/County socio-economic
zones). More detailed analysis, however, is required to assess the impact ofvadmcy rates for unit
types, since different unit types have different wlnerability to flood or wind hazards. Using the
telephone survey estimates from SWFRPC Hurricane Evacuation Study, Update 1987 , Appendix
L the Florida Hotel/Motel Association for hotel/motel occupancy and concurrence from the
Collier County Emergency Management Office, two estimates of seasonal vacancy for Southwest

From these estimates, Collier County flood zones are estimated in 1995 to contain an aggregated
average of 177,311 persons in July and 207,190 persons at the start of November. This is
summarized by evacuation zone in Table 2. Numerically, the greatest seasonality occurs in
Hurricane Category Zone 1, which has 81,980 persons in July and 100,586 in November, a
seasonal increase of approximately 18.5%.
MOTOR VEHICLES
Nearly all of the population affected by an oncoming hurricane will evacuate by private vehicle.
The question arises as to how many vehicles will be used in the evacuation. Issues relevant to this
include the number of vehicles owned, whether owners would be willing to leave any vehicles
behind (since next to the home, vehicles are the most expensive possession), whether all drivers
feel confident to operate a vehicle in storm conditions, and whether evacuating families wish to be
separated in different motor vehicles. Based on surveys, respondents indicated approximately
75% of available vehicles would be used in an evacuation (Hurricane Evacuation Plan, 1981-82,
SWFRPC). This averaged out to 1.1 vehicles per occupied unit (A higher vehicle use would
increase forecasted volumes of vehicles, which in turn would increase traffic loads).
Using this ratio of cars and the occupancy ratio used previously, the County potential total of
vehicles used in an evacuation in July would be 81,202, and in November would be 95,177.
Category I Zones again have the greatest number of vehicles, 35,770 (37,508 with mobile
homes outside the area) in July and 42,796 (45,952 with mobile homes) in November. Table
3 summarizes the vehicle generation by each evacuation zone.
SHELTERS
Evacuees must have a place to go. The SWFRPC undertook surveys in 1979 and. 1981 to
determine evacuee preferences. This data is summarized as follows: public shelters (24%),
leaving the County (34%), visit friends/relatives in county (13%), go to hoteVmotel (4%) or

stay home (2%) or "other" (2%) for a total in county destination of (21 %), and "don't
know" (21%). Those are preference declarations; other studies indicate there is a significant
variation from preference to actual behavior. The severity of impending storms may also change
decisions, as increased community-wide evacuation limits or eliminates the hotel/friends/public
shelter/stay home prediction.
At this time, the County has twenty-five primary public shelters and nine secondary public
shelters, with a capacity (at 20 square feet per person) of 22,810 persons and 6,800 persons,
respectively. These shelters are summarized in Table 4, by Vulnerability. zone. They are also
depicted on Map 3. Secondary shelters are shelters without shelter managers and, as such, cannot
be opened to the public. However, for contingency planning purposes, the appropriate tables also
include secondary shelters, which adds 6,800 spaces to the initial inventory.
Based upon the evacuees forecast in Table 2, the County has limited public shelter capacity. For
example, the County can accommodate 12.4% of the evacuees during a Category 2 storm
evacuation in July, but only 10.4% in November. Table 5 summarizes the County's public
shelter capacities for storms. These capacities, specifically the "percent met" are ultimately used
to determine how many evacuees will have to leave the county because adequate public or private
shelter space cannot be found in the county. The addition of secondary shelters (6,800 spaces)
does provide for additional space for tropical storms and category 1 storms. The improvement
shown by this addition is also depicted in Table 5. Additional data is also shown in this Table to
assist the local emergency management agency in determining the amount of shelter which should
be opened to accommodate the assumed percent of evacuees seeking shelter. In Collier County a
factor of 16 percent was assumed and is based on an Florida International University (FlU)
Survey conducted in November of 1994 (see Table 1 in Part I of the study. This percent was also
approved by the Collier County Emergency Management Office. Based on this survey and other
conducted in previous years after Hurricane Andrew by FlU and other per and post hurricane
behavioral surveys including the one conducted for the 1987 Regional Hurricane Evacuation
Study Update their could be a range for this percent seeking shelter (possibly 12 to 24 percent).
Finally, based on this assumption of percent seeking shelter, the shelter space surplus/deficit in the
/
county can be estimated.
Public shelters within the County are not the only means of meeting evacuee shelter needs. Other
options for evacuees include "friends," hotels/motels and one's own home (refusal to leave). In
Collier County, there is an estimated 8,814 hotel/motel rooms. The greatest portion (76.6%) are
along the shoreline within the category 1 flood zone. This leaves 2,066 units for category 1
storms, and 1,016 units for category 2 storms. The 2,066 units (at 100% vacancy) would
satisfy 6.0% of demand in July and 4.9% of demand in November, for a category 1 storm.
In category 2 storms, only 1.9% of demand would be met in July and 1.6% in November,
while the greater storms eliminate virtually all capacity of commercial space being available. In
summary, Table SA shows the percent shelter space increase or the amount of evacuees which can
be sheltered due to hotel/motels units providing a fonn of commercial shelter space.

Without public or private commercial space available, evacuees have only the options of using
friends within the County, or leaving the County for less affected areas such as areas outside of
the stann's probable impact. The shelter capacity of "friends" is limited. This capacity diminishes
as the ratio of evacuees to those not affected increases. This factor is depicted in Table 6.

It is an assumption that ratios of 1: 1 or better (0.8: 1 for example) will enable those seeking shelter
with friends will find them. This constitutes 13% of the population. Ratios of worse than 1: 1
(2: 1, for example), will diminish that likelihood in proportion to the ratio. Given that assumption,
all of those evacuees from a category 1 storm wishing to stay with friends will be able to do so.
However, during a category 2 evacuation only 6.9% in July and 6.3% in November of the
evacuees will be able to stay with friends. "Therefore, out of County" evacuation loading will be
reduced by only approximately these percentages or less by sheltering with a friend for category 2
evacuation. Table 6A summarizes the percent shelter space increase or the amount of evacuees
which can be sheltered due to friends or relatives providing a form of shelter space.

These percentages added to the shelter populations absorb the remainder of "in County" shelter
demand satisfaction. This is summarized in Table 7. If shelter needs cannot be met within the
County, they must be met outside of the County. For this reason, Table 7 A summarizes the
number of vehicles leaving the county which is derived from subtracting the number of vehicles
are staying in the county (e.g. going to shelter in the county) from the total number of vehicles
used for evacuation.

SPECIAL AT RISK POPULATION
There are several population areas that need special consideration. This includes Hospitals,
Health Clinics and various nursing homes. The location of these facilities are included in Map 4.
ROUTES
Arterial roadways form the backbone of any hurricane evacuation effort. Unfortunately, Collier
County's roadway system provides relatively few options for evacuees coming from the coast.
Those that do exist are depicted on Map 5, "Evacuation Routes. n Identification of routes is the
first step in assessing the roadway system. The next step is assessing roadway capacities. The
capacities of these roadways have been developed based on their characteristics, tied to the
assessment methodologies of the Highway Capacity Manual, 1985. These capacities are contained
in Table 8 and were developed using Collier County and Florida DOT adopted route specific
capacities. These capacities show that the roadways vary from a high hourly capacity at service
level D of3,360 trips for 1-75, to a low of380 trips on several local roadways in the eastern areas
of the county.
An important aspect of any route is its condition. Many routes along the shore are low lying.
Their propensity to flood due to surge or tidal action causes their reliability to operate as a route
to cease several hours before storm landfalL In most cases, however, winds, not shoreline
flooding, will initially make roads unsafe for traveL
Rainfall flooding, however, may constitute a greater hazard to evacuation route operation than
either early shoreline flooding or early winds. This is because roadways may flood and become

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DIVISION
REPORT ON THE ADOPTION AND APPROVAL PROCESS FOR AMENDMENTS TO
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE STIPULATED SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT.
OBJECTIVE: Provide information regarding the approval and adoption process for
amending the Comprehensive Plan and approval of the Stipulated Settlement
Agreement and subsequent remedial amendments.
CONSIDERATIONS: The density reduction amendments and the clustering criteria in
the Agricultural/Rural Designation and Conservation Designation have been discussed
with DCA staff for inclusion in the Stipulated Settlement Agreement. The process to
amend Comprehensive Plan and the process for adoption of a settlement agreement
and subsequent remedial amendments are outlined as follows:
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Process
=> Public hearing before the Collier County Planning Commission
=> Public hearing for transmittal by the Board of County Commissioners
=> DCA with comment from reviewing agencies has 60 days to issue an Objection,
Recommendations & Comments (ORC) Report
=> Public hearing before the Collier County Planning Commission
=> Final Adoption hearing before the Board of County Commissioners
=> DCA has 45 days to issue a notice of intent to find the plan in compliance or not in
compliance
Stipulated Settlement Agreement & Remedial Amendment Process
=> Public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners to adopt & sign the
proposed Stipulated Settlement Agreement
=> Forward signed agreement to DCA for their review and signature
=> Upon receipt of the Recommended Order from the Administrative Law Judge
prepare a Joint Agreement on Recommended Remedial Action to the Governor and
Cabinet
=> The Board of County Commissioners will hold a public hearing for final adoption of
the remedial amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
=> DCA has 45 days to find the remedial amendments in compliance based on the
agreement
The Board of County Commissioners has the following options:
1) Include all the density reduction amendments in the Urban, Agricultural/Rural and
Conservation Designations and the clustering amendments in the Stipulated
Settlement Agreement; or
2) Prepare a separate comprehensive plan amendment submittal for all the density
reduction amendments and clustering criteria; or
3) Include all the density reduction amendments as a separate plan amendment
submittal and include the clustering criteria in the Stipulated Settlement Agreement.
lipS,
The Development Services Advisory Committee met on February 3, 1999 and voted
unanimously to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that the density
reduction amendments be excluded from the Stipulated Settlement Agreement. They
did not take any action with regard to the clustering criteria.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None at this time.
FISCAL IMPACT: None at this time.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board review the process to amend the
Comprehensive Plan and the Stipulated Settlement Agreement and form a policy
decision on the Density Reduction Amendments and clustering criteria with regard to
inclusion within the Stipulated Settlement Agreement or as a separate comprehensive
plan amendment.
