Staff Report
• Presentation to the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) for recommendation to
the BCC on the seven year Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) of the Collier County
Growth Management Plan for transmittal to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA)
for sufficiency review according to the procedures and criteria outlined in Section
163.3191, Florida Statutes, Evaluation and Appraisal of Comprehensive Plan.
OBJECTIVE: Florida Statutes require all local governments within the State of Florida to
maintain comprehensive planning programs based upon an adopted local government
comprehensive plan. As part of this planning requirement, the local government must monitor
changing conditions and must use this information to guide periodic amendments to the local
comprehensive plan. Within Collier County the local comprehensive plan is the Growth
Management Plan (GMP), originally adopted by Ordinance NO. 89 -05.
The periodic amendment process, which occurs once every seven years, as described in Chapter
163.3191, F.S., is a two -phase process referred to as the Evaluation & Appraisal Report (EAR).
The EAR evaluates the performance of the various Elements of the local government
comprehensive plan since the previous EAR -based amendments. It assesses the successes and
shortcomings of the various Goals, Objectives, and Policies included within the GMP and
designates Objectives and Policies which need revisions, modifications or deletions.
• Additionally, the EAR is the primary means by which the local plan can respond to changes in
federal, state or regional planning requirements. It should be noted that for the 2004 to 2010
evaluation period for the 2011 EAR, there have been 57 GMP amendments processed by the
County. While not all of these amendments were sent to the Department of Community Affairs
for adoption, they were either publicly or privately submitted for processing and evaluation. A
fact that recognizes the contemplation on the County's part of what improvements are need to
assure the GMP is an effective blueprint for guiding future growth, but also accentuates the need
for the comprehensive review of the GMP to ensure there is agreement within the Plan's
individual elements.
Ultimately, the Objectives and Policies designated for adjustment in the EAR become the basis
of proposed amendments to the local government comprehensive plan, the second phase of the
process. These EAR -based amendments, as reviewed by the Environmental Action Council
(EAC) and Planning Commission (PC), and subsequently adopted by the BCC, after found in
compliance with the Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., then become part of the Goals, Objectives and
Policies of the GMP until the next EAR is prepared in seven years.
BACKGROUND: On August 25 and 27, 2010 the CCPC conducted its EAR workshop in
which the policies and objectives of each of the GMP's individual elements was conducted. The
EAR adoption review should serve as an opportunity for the CCPC to confirm the Policies and
Objectives designated for modification and the issues raised are those discussed during the
• August workshops and will be those recommended to the BCC within the EAR for adoption.
Collier County 2011Evaluaton & Appraisal Report CCPC Adoption Public Hearing
As noted during the August workshop, the adoption of the EAR is the first part of a two prong
process, during which areas of the GMP are evaluated for their effectiveness and if appropriate •
designated for adjustment or change. The exact specificity of that change is not determined
during this first prong of the process, only that a change is needed within the various Elements,
Goals, Objectives, or Policies of the GMP. Post adoption of the EAR by the BCC in January of
2011 is when the specifics of the changes called out for in the EAR are composed and refined
through the GMP EAR amendment adoption process. The County will have eighteen months
from the date or the EAR adoption by the BCC to adopt the changes designated by the EAR.
Understanding this bifurcated process provides a clear direction for what is being asked of the
EAC during the EAR workshop.
At the completion of the EAR August workshops with the CCPC and the EAC, staff presented
the post workshop EAR books to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and the various
other state reviewing agencies. In late October the County received the review comments which
have been attached as exhibit "A" to this staff report. The majority of the comments from the
DCA focus upon the need for further data and analysis regarding the major issues and their inter-
relationship to the specific goals of the GMP's various elements, as well as the effectiveness of
the elements as they relate to the major issues. The CCPC EAR Adoption books have been
updated to address the specific comments contained in the courtesy review letter.
It should be noted that the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) at their November 3, 2010
regularly scheduled public hearing provided a recommendation to the Board of County
Commissioners to adopt the proposed EAR. The policies and objectives recommended for
modification by the EAC have been specified within the CCPC EAR Adoption book. •
ORGANIZATION OF THE EAC -EAR ADOPTION BOOK: The presented 2011 EAC -EAR
book is organized into a single -bound report containing an introduction and three (3) major
chapters. These chapters are:
Chapter One — Public Participation & Issues Identified
Chapter Two — Countywide Assessment
Chapter Three — Evaluation of Major Issues
Chapter One — Public Participation & Issues Identified details the issues that were brought to the
process from the public during the "Public Participation" portion of the EAR process. Chapter
Two — Countywide Assessment is the individual review of each Element and Sub - Element of the
GMP and the Goals, Objectives and Policies that comprise each of those Elements or Sub -
Elements. Chapter Three - Evaluation of Major Issues are the issues agreed upon between the
County and the DCA. Chapter One and Chapter Three are both connected within Chapter
Two. (Bolded for emphasis) Within each Element reviewed within Chapter Two, staff has
referenced Objectives and Policies that are directly related to Chapters One and Three. For
example a public comment that is directly linked to Policy 1.6.1 of the Recreation and Open
Space Element (ROSE) will be recognized within Chapter Two, as well as Chapter One.
Additionally, Objectives and Policies that are directly related to a major issue will be specified
within Chapter Three, as well as within the Element review contained within chapter Two. •
2�
Collier County 2011Evaluaton & Appraisal Report CCPC Adoption Public Hearing
As described above the structure of the EAR inter- relates all of the chapters contained in the
is report. Within each of these elements, the pertinent comments from the August workshops with
the EAC and the CCPC have been applied to the related objective or policy, to provide
identification of both bodies' perspective, as well as comments offered by the general public.
Unlike the EAR workshop edition books, the EAR adoption edition does not contain the
evaluation of every policy and objective within the GMP, but rather only the objective and
policies within the various elements in which modifications are being suggested are included. It
should be noted that a few policies in which the CCPC and the EAC have taken differing
positions, these areas will be highlighted during the EAR adoption hearing and will be presented
to the BCC for final arbitration on the issue
FISCAL IMPACT: County staff undertook the preparation of the EAR in- house. The
Comprehensive Planning Department prepared the EAR with input and contributions from
numerous county divisions and departments. Direct and indirect costs have not been calculated
for the preparation of the EAR.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Pursuant to section 163.3187(6)(a), Florida Statutes,
"No local government may amend its comprehensive plan after the date established by the state
land planning agency for adoption of its evaluation and appraisal report unless it has submitted
its report or addendum to the land planning agency as prescribed by section 163.3191 ..."
Therefore, timely action by the EAC, CCPC and BCC adopting the EAR is necessary in order for
the consideration of future comprehensive amendments. Otherwise, Collier County will be
imposed with the statutory sanction that would prohibit amending its comprehensive plan.
• RE UESTED ACTION:
Staff request that the CCPC reviews the proposed policies and
objectives designated for change within the individual Elements, as directed during the EAC and
CCPC EAR workshops held in August 2010, and provide a recommendation to adopt the 2011
Collier County Evaluation and Appraisal Report to the Board of County Commissioners.

RE: Collier County Proposed Evaluation and Appraisal Report
Dear Chairman Coyle:
THOMAS G. PELHAM
Secretary
- The Department has completed a review of the Collier County proposed Evaluation and
• Appraisal Report (EAR) and has enclosed cOM .en *s and recommendations for your
consideration, including review comments from other state and regional agencies.
The proposed EAR makes progress in evaluating the comprehensive plan as part of the
EAR process. However, the EAR should be revised and strengthened to address the issues
identified by the Department in the enclosed review comments. This will ensure that the EAR
sufficiently addresses the requirements of Section 163.3191, Florida Statutes (F.S.).
U
In part, the Department's comments focus on the need to revise the EAR to address: (1)
assessment of plan objectives for major issues; (2) assessment of corrective actions or plan
amendments for the major issues based on the assessment of plan objectives; (3) incomplete
information to address community -wide assessment requirements (revised population
projections; and changes in growth management laws since 2008); (4) assessment of water
supply planning; (5) assessment of past reductions in land use density within the coastal high
hazard area; (6) assessment of the extent to which the transportation concurrency exception area
and transportation concurrency management areas have achieved their purposes; and () the
extent to which changes are needed to develop a common methodology for measuring impacts
on transportation facilities for the purpose of implementing the concurrency management system
in coordination with the municipalities and county. The Department encourages the County to
make the necessary revisions to the EAR based on the enclosed review comments.

Please note that a formal sufficiency determination was not conducted at this time; this
will be done after the EAR is adopted by the County. However, the review comments, if not
adequately addressed in the adopted EAR, . may serve as sufficiency issues. We have also
included a copy of regional and state agency comments for your consideration.
With respect to any suggested comprehensive plan amendments identified in the EAR,
the Department's review comments do not constitute a compliance review of the proposed
amendments. EAR -based plan amendments suggested in the EAR will be reviewed in
accordance with the requirements of Chapter 163, Part Il, F.S., and Rule 9 -J, Florida
Administrative Code (F.A.C.), when submitted as proposed plan amendments.
As the County prepares the adopted EAR, Department staff is prepared to further discuss
the issues raised in the review comments. If you have any questions concerning this matter,
please contact Brenda Winningham, Regional Planning Administrator, at (850) 487 -4545, or

FOR
COLLIER COUNTY
PROPOSED EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT
1. The identification of major issues and, where pertinent, the potential social,
economic, and environmental impacts of these issues [Section 163.3191(2)(e)]:
The proposed EAR sufficiently addresses the requirement of Section
163.3191(2)(e), F.S., except with regard to the major issues of "Urban Development
Pattern" and "Intergovernmental Coordination" for which the EAR does not identify,
where pertinent, the potential social, economic, and environmental impacts of the issues.
Revise the EAR to identify, where pertinent, the potential social, economic, and
environmental impacts relevant to the major issues of Urban Development Pattern and
Intergovernmental Coordination.
2. An assessment of whether plan objectives within each element, as they related to
major issues, have been achieved, and whether unforeseen and unanticipated
changes in circumstances have resulted in problems and opportunities with respect
to major issues in each element [Section 163.3191(2)(g)]; and, Any actions or
• corrective measures, including whether plan amendments arc anticipated to address
the major issues identified and analyzed in the report [Section 163.3191(2)(i)]:
The proposed EAR does not sufficiently address the requirements of Sections
163.3191(2)(g) and (i), F.S., for the major issues as follows:
a. (Major Issue: Climate Change): The proposed EAR identifies many Comprehensive
Plan objectives /policies that are relevant to the issue of climate change. However, for
many of these objectives /policies, the EAR does not assess the following: (1) how has the
objective /policy been implemented over the evaluation period, including specific
examples of the implementation; (2) why the implementation has been effective or
ineffective in achieving the purpose of the objective /policy; and (3) based on 1 and 2,
why revisions are needed or not needed to the objective /policy, and identification of the
extent/nature of the revisions. Revise the EAR to include the assessment.
b. (Major Issue: Urban Development Pattern): The proposed EAR section titled "Major
Issues" does not address the major issue of "Urban Development Pattern." The section
titled "Major Issues does not include an assessment addressing: (1) identification of the
plan objectives related to the intergovernmental coordination major issue; (2) evaluation
of whether the objectives have been achieved, and whether unforeseen and unanticipated
changes in circumstances have resulted in problems and opportunities with respect to
intergovernmental coordination; and (3) evaluation of any actions or corrective measures,
including whether plan amendments are anticipated to address intergovernmental
• coordination. Revise the EAR to include the assessment.
•
c. (Major Issue: Water Resource Protection): Part of the major issue pertains to
floodplain management programs and existing criteria. The proposed EAR section titled
"Major Issues" does not include an assessment addressing: (1) identification of the plan
objectives related to the floodplain management programs and existing criteria; (2)
evaluation of whether the objectives have been achieved, and whether unforeseen and
unanticipated changes in circumstances have resulted in problems and opportunities with
respect to the floodplain management programs and existing criteria; and (3) evaluation
of any actions or corrective measures, including whether plan amendments are
anticipated to address floodplain management and existing criteria. Revise the EAR to
include the assessment.
d. (Major Issue: Intergovernmental Coordination): The proposed EAR section titled
"Major Issues" does not address the major issue of "Intergovernmental Coordination."
The section titled "Major Issues" does not include an assessment addressing: (1)
identification of the plan objectives related to the intergovernmental coordination major
issue; (2) evaluation of whether the objectives have been achieved, and whether
unforeseen and unanticipated changes in circumstances have resulted in problems and
opportunities with respect to intergovernmental coordination; and (3) evaluation of any
actions or corrective measures, including whether plan amendments are anticipated to
address intergovernmental coordination. Revise the EAR to include the assessment.
e. (Major Issue: Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay): The proposed EAR section •
titled "Major Issues" does not sufficiently address the major issue of "Rural Lands
Stewardship Area Overlay" (RLSA Overlay) because of the following: (1) the EAR states
that, pursuant to Future Land Use Element Policy 1.22, the County prepared two reports
(Report I in 2008, and Report II in 2009) evaluating the RLSA Overlay, but the EAR
does not include Reports I and II or a sufficient summary assessment of Reports I and II
for the Department to determine that the evaluation of the effectiveness of the RLSA
Overlay is sufficient; and (2) the EAR recommends revisions to Comprehensive Plan
policies for the RLSA, but these recommended revisions are not based on a sufficient
assessment of the effectiveness of the RLSA Overlay. Revise the EAR to include a
complete sufficient assessment of the effectiveness of the RLSA Overlay and to
demonstrate that the recommended revisions to policies are based on the assessment.
3. Population growth and changes in land area [Section 163.3191(2)(a)]:
The proposed EAR does not sufficiently address the requirements of Section
163.3191(2)(a) and (i), F.S., because the EAR does not include revised population
projections for the new updated planning timeframe, which the EAR (Future Land Use
Element pages 37 -38) suggests may be year 2025. The EAR should be revised to include
updated population projections to address the new planning timeframe.
is
• 4. Relevant changes in growth management laws [Section 163.3191(2)(f)]:
The proposed EAR does not sufficiently address Section 163.3191(2)(0, F.S.
because the proposed EAR section titled "Statutory Changes" does not identify changes
to Chapter 163, Part 11, Florida Statutes, since the year 2008. Revise the section titled
"Statutory Changes" to identify the statutory changes since year 2008.
5. An assessment of the extent to which the local government has been successful in
identifying alternative water supply projects and traditional water supply projects,
including conservation and reuse, necessary to meet the water needs identified in
Section 373.0361(2)(a) within the local government's jurisdiction. An evaluation of
the degree to which the local government has implemented the work plan for
building public, private, and regional water supply facilities, including development
of alternative water supplies, identified in the element as necessary to serve existing
and new development. [Section 163.3191(2)(1()]:
The proposed EAR does not include a section that specifically addresses the
requirements of Section 163.3191(2)(1), F.S. Revise the EAR to include a section that
very briefly addresses the requirements of Section 163.3191(2)(I), F.S.
6. An evaluation of whether any past reduction in land use density within the
coastal high hazard area impairs the property rights of current residents when
• redevelopment occurs. The local government must identify strategies to address
redevelopment and the rights of affected residents balanced against public safety
considerations. [Section 163.3191(2)(m)]:
The proposed EAR does not sufficiently address Section 163.3191(2)(m), F.S.
Collier County has coastal high hazard area; however, the proposed EAR does not
include an evaluation of whether any past reduction in land use density within the coastal
high hazard area impairs the property rights of current residents when redevelopment
occurs, and include in such an evaluation the identification of strategies to address
redevelopment and the rights of affected residents balanced against public safety
considerations. The EAR should be revised to include the evaluation.
7. An evaluation of the extent to which a concurrency management exception area
designated pursuant to Section 163.3180(5), a concurrency management area
designated pursuant to Section 1633180(7), or a multimodal transportation district
designated pursuant to Section 163.3180(15) has achieved the purpose for which it
was created and otherwise complies with the provisions of Section 1633180.
[Section 1633191(2)(o)]:
The proposed EAR does not sufficiently address Section 163.3191(2)(0), F.S.
Collier County has designated a Transportation Concurrency Exception Areas (South
U.S. 41 TCEA) and two Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (Northwest
• TCMA; and East Central TCMA), and the proposed EAR does not evaluate the extent to
which these areas have achieved the PAP ose for which they were created and otherwise •
comply with the provisions of Section 163.3180, F.S. Revise the EAR to include the
evaluation.
8. An assessment of the extent to which changes are needed to develop a common
methodology for measuring impacts on transportation facilities for the purpose of
implementing its concurrency management system in coordination with the
municipalities and counties, as appropriate pursuant to Section 163.3180(10).
[Section 163.3191(2)(p)]:
The proposed EAR does not include a section that addresses the requirements of
Section 163.3191(2)(p), F.S. Revise the EAR to include a section that specifically and
sufficiently addresses the requirements of Section 163.3191(2)(p), F.S.

Department of Community Affairs
2555 Shumard Oak Boulevard
Tallahassee, FL 32399 -2100
Dear Mr. Eubanks:
Subject: Collier County
Comments on Proposed Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR)
The South Florida Water Management District (District) has completed its review of the
proposed Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) transmitted by Collier County
(County) for preliminary review. The District appreciates the opportunity to provide
water resource - related technical assistance during the County's evaluation of major
issues and comprehensive plan elements. The County has committed to working with
the District in updating the County's adopted Water Supply Facilities Work Plan as the
Lower West Coast Regional Water Supply Plan is updated. The District requests the
Department of Community Affairs (DCA) consider the following recommendations in its
EAR sufficiency analysis:
Water Quality
Retain the current language of Objective 2.2, in the Conservation and Coastal
Management Element, which requires that surface waters discharging into
estuaries shall meet Federal, State, or local water quality standards. The
proposed change weakens the objective in providing protection to the County's
surface waters. The - District looks forward to working with the County on
achieving water quality standards within the County's water bodies.
• Include an objective and related policies describing the strategies (including
funding mechanisms) designed to achieve Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)
and Nutrient Loading Criteria established for water bodies in the County.
Incorporate objectives and policies for coordinating with the State in its TMDL
program including efforts in assessing the verified list of impaired waters under
Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and any subsequent TMDLs developed for
those waters. This section should also address the planning and
implementation of any future Everglades West Coast Basin Management Action
Plans developed for water bodies with TMDLs in the Southwest Coast and
Interdrainage Area Planning Units.

Ecosystem Restoration
• Include objectives and related policies describing planned coordination with the
District in implementing the Lake Trafford Critical Restoration Project, Lake
Trafford Watershed Management Plan, and Picayune Strand Restoration Project.
• Include a policy to emphasize land uses should not be inconsistent with adjacent
restoration programs, such as the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan
(CERP).
Flood Protection
• Incorporate objectives and policies for floodplain management in the Stormwater
Management Sub - Element. Floodplain management policies should include the
implementation of floodplain management regulations, including provisions for
incorporating compensating storage it development plans.
Add a policy to the Immokalee Area Master Plan that provides a requirement for
detailed design segments and development of funding mechanisms for the
stormwater management improvements identified in the recommended
alternatives of the Immokalee Stormvrater Management Plan.
Include a policy that addresses coordination with the District regarding the use of
and /or connection to Works of the District. The County must coordinate with the
District Right -of -Way Program for appropriate authorization prior to making use
or connecting to Works of the District. The coordination includes but is not limited
to canals and associated overbanks and water conservation areas. Specific
requirements are codified in Chapter 40E -6, Florida Administrative Code.
Natural Systems
• Provide a policy that requires the development of management and restoration
plans for the Pepper Ranch Conservation Area (Pepper Ranch) to protect its
unique terrestrial biota and habitat. Management and restoration plans should
be completed prior to incorporating t ^e Pepper Ranch into the County's regional
park system.
Water Supply
Describe the programs in the Intergovernmental Coordination Element that
provide coordination between the County and the other water suppliers to ensure
that water supplies will be sufficient to meet projected water demands for the
unincorporated areas.

Intermodal System (ESIS), and non -state roadway facilities funded by the Transportation Regional Incentive
Program (TRIP).
FDOT Comment # 2: Please revise Policy 1.5 (A) (2) (included in page 5) of the CIE to indicate that the
peak hour LOS standard of "D" does not apply to state arterials and collectors on the FIHS, SIS, ESIS, and
TRIP funded roadways.
FDOT Comment # 3: Consistent with Comments #I and # 2, please revise Policy 1.5 (B) (included in page

language indicating that the LOS standard on the ESIS facilities S.R. 29 (1 -75 to the Hendry County Line) and
S.R. 82 (Hendry County Line to S.R. 29) should be LOS "C" consistent with the standards set forth by the
FDOT. Also, the LOS standards on 1 -75 from the Broward County Line to S.R. 951 should be LOS "B" and
from S.R. 951 to Lee County should be LOS "D" corresponding to rural and urbanized area, respectively.

encompass all relevant zoning districts in Golden Gate Estates;
• Estates — Commercial District (Randall. Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict) ...... revision to replace the
term "shopping center" with reference to C -2 uses.
These revisions do not impact state roadways and, therefore, the department offers no comments.
IMMOKALEE AREA MASTER PLAN ELERIENT (LX11P)
EAR recommended changes to IAMP Element include the following:
• The LAMP Element of the GMP is currently in the process of revising and replacing each existing Goal,
Objective and Policy of the IAMP, as well as revising and replacing all future land use designations on the
IAMP and LAMP FLUM. The LAMP is expected to be adopted in the first quarter of 201 l.The proposed
plan intends to increase density and intensity as the main mechanists to promote economic development
within the Immokalee Urban Area
The department has the following comments on these recommended changes:
FDOT Comment # 15: The changes to the IAMP Element have the potential to create an increase in vehicle
trips on state roadway facilities. The department recommends that an Area Wide Traffic Study be conducted
and supporting documentation provided for the above referenced amendments to establish that adequate
capacity will be available for new trips that may impact state roadways for the long -tern horizon year and
short-term year 2015 conditions. Funding sources should be identified for improvements required to alleviate
all short-term failures. The improvements needed to achieve and maintain the adopted LOS standard through
the year 2015 (short term) should be included in a Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. For long-
term failures, appropriate policies should be indentified in the CIE or Transportation Element of the
Comprehensive Plan and the needed improvements should be added to the appropriate plans and programs.
Additional Comment:
FDOT Comment # 16: Analyses and data should be provided for all state roadway facilities for the current
year (2010) and the long -term horizon year (2030) to ensure that all ESIS, SIS, FIHS, and non -state roadways
with improvements funded through the TRIP adhere to the adopted FDOT LOS standards and to the roadway
capacities found in the FDOT 2009 Generalized LOS Tables. If alternative capacities are used for any ESIS,
SIS, FIHS, or TRIP facilities, please provide supporting documentation for review showing the derivation of
the alternative capacity. Please provide policies.!plans to remedy any failures projected for state roadways in
the horizon year.

Re: Historic Preservation Review of the Collier County Evaluation and Appraisal Report
Dear Mr. Eubanks:
According to this agency's responsibilities under Section 163, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 9J-
5, Florida Administrative Code, we reviewed the above document. Our cursory review indicates
that historic resources are addressed in the Countywide Assessment of various elements within
the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR j, but not specifically addressed as Major Issues.
In the Countywide Assessment, Policy 3.5 of the Housing Element addresses the Old Naples
area and the protection and preservation of the residential character. This policy has not yet
been achieved, but remains relevant. The recommendation is to add a due date so as to make
this policy measureable. Objective 5 of this element goes into more depth regarding historic
resources and indicates that the county and City of Naples will monitor all identified significant
historic resources annually to ensure that these resources are being maintained. This
objective is proposed to be retained, along with implementing policies. Implementing policies
include maintaining significant historic structures by means of the provision of technical
assistance; the review of land development regulations to encourage protection and
preservation of historic structures; local designation of significant resources; and potential
incentives to encourage preservation of historic housing. The last policy has not yet been
achieved as incentives to maintain and rehabilitate historic homes have not been adopted.
In the Conservation and Coastal Management Element assessment, Objective 11.1 addresses
the protection of both archaeological sites and historic properties in the county. Implementing
policies considered relevant and to be retained include the continued enforcement of
development regulations; no loss of historic or archaeological resources on county-owned
property and protection of resources on private property; and fortuitous finds during
construction activities and the appropriate measures to ensure assessment and evaluation of
the resource, including preservation if appropriate. We note that in Policy 11.1.2.c, mention is
made of the excavation of archaeological resources by the Division of Historical Resources.
This agency does not conduct excavations on private property.

In the Future Land Use Element, Policy 3.1.h. regarding Land Development Regulations,
provides for the protection of historically significant properties, and lists the various means for
protection of these properties. This policy is proposed to be retained.
Our cursory review suggests that no major chances are proposed for the protection and
preservation of significant archaeological sites and historic properties.

THE THIRD
EVALUATION & APPRAISAL REPORT
ON THE COLLIER COUNTY GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES
1. Introduction & Process
In 1923 the Florida State Legislature created Collier County from a portion of Lee county. Collier
County is located on the southern gulf coast of the Florida peninsula, due west of the Miami -Ft.
Lauderdale area. Naples, located in the western coastal area of Collier County, is the most populous of
the three incorporated cities in Collier County. City of Marco Island, the second most populous
incorporated city, is a barrier island located on the Gulf Coast directly south of Naples. Everglades
City located southeast of Naples and the gateway to Ten Thousands Islands is the smallest of the three
incorporated cities both in size and population.
Collier County contains approximately 2,025 square miles of land area. The sub - tropical climate of
Collier County enjoys an average annual temperature of approximately 75 degrees Fahrenheit, with
January and June average temperatures of 67 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively.
The County is bordered by five counties: Miami -Dade, Broward, Lee, Hendry and Monroe.
CharlcAte
Collier County Government
A five- member Board of County Commissioners, elected for terms of four years, governs Collier
County. Each Commissioner is elected by and represents a particular district within the County. The
Board of County Commissioners hires a County Manager, who oversees the County government
departments and staff. It is the function of the County Manager's office to head the daily operations of
the government in order to provide exceptional services to the citizens of and visitors to Collier
County.
Chapter 163. Part IL Florida Statutes. F.S., also known as the Local Government Comprehensi,%,:
Planning Act. requires all local governments within the State of Florida to maintain comprehensi ��c
planning programs based upon an adopted local government comprehensive plan. As part of this
process. the local government must monitor changing conditions and must use this information to
guide periodic amendments to the local comprehensive plan.
The periodic amendment process, which occurs once seven }ears, as described in Chapter
163.3191. F.S., is a two -phase process. It begins with the preparation. by the local government. of an
Evaluation & Appraisal Report (EAR). The EAR evaluates the performance of the various Elements
of the local government comprehensive plan since the previous EAR -based amendment process. It
assesses the successes and failures of the various Goals, Objectives, Policies and programs included
within the local comprehensive plan and provides recommendations for necessary changes.
Additionally, the EAR is the primary means by which the local plan can respond to changes in federal,
state or regional planning requirements.
Ultimately, the recommendations contained in the EAR become the basis of proposed amendments to
the local government comprehensive plan. These EAR -based amendments, as adopted by the local
governing board and found in compliance with the Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., then become part of the
Goals, Objectives and Policies of the local plan until the next EAR is prepared in seven years.
Collier County's first EAR was prepared and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on July
16, 1996. The subsequent EAR -based amendments were adopted on October 18. 1997. The second
EAR was prepared and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on July 27, 2004. The
subsequent EAR -based amendments were adopted on July 28, 2006. This third EAR reviews the •
performance of Collier County's Growth Management Plan (GMP) from July, 2004 to July. 2010.
*Note: "Collier County Growth Management Plan" is the adopted title for the Comprehensive Plan as
cited in Chapter I63, Part II, F.S. The two terms are in common use throughout this EAR and are
interchangeable.
E.A.R. Requirements
As required by Section 163.3191 F.S., the EAR must address the following aspects of the GMP:
1. The planning program shall be a continuous and ongoing process. Each local government shall
adopt an evaluation and appraisal report once every 7 years assessing the progress in
implementing the local government's comprehensive plan. Furthermore. it is the intent of this
section that:
(a) Adopted comprehensive plans are reviewed through such evaluation process to respond to
changes in state, regional, and local policies on planning and growth management and changing
conditions and trends, to ensure effective intergovernmental coordination, and to identify major
issues regarding the community's achievement of its goals.
(b) After completion of the initial evaluation and appraisal report and any supporting plan
amendments, each subsequent evaluation and appraisal report must evaluate the comprehensive •
plan in effect at the time of the initiation of the evaluation and appraisal report process.
ii
(c) Local governments identify the major issues, if applicable, with input from state agencies,
regional agencies, adjacent local governments, and the public in the evaluation and appraisal
• report process. It is also the intent of this section to establish minimum requirements for
information to ensure predictability, certainty, and integrity in the growth management process.
The report is intended to serve as a summary audit of the actions that a local government has
undertaken and identify changes that it may need to make. The report should be based on the
local government's analysis of major issues to further the community's goals consistent with
statewide minimum standards. The report is not intended to require a comprehensive rewrite of

Regional Planning Council, in North Fort Myers to meet with DCA representatives and
representatives from other state and regional agencies to discuss the EAR process, learn of
issues considered important by the DCA staff, and to learn how neighboring local governments
intended to respond to issues identified by the State.
• On September 8, 2009, Comprehensive Planning hosted an EAR intergovernmental meeting.
The meeting offered an opportunity to fellow staff from local City agencies to identify and
discuss areas of concern with respect to intergovernmental items or issues common to fellow
governments. In addition, this meeting provided an opportunity to discuss sharing data, to
discuss new data that must be generated, and the analysis necessary to address those issues
identified as outdated, problematic, or where compliance has not occurred or is no longer
practical.
• On November 24, 2009 the County's Draft Letter of Understanding was submitted to the DCA.
• The County and the DCA agreed to the Final Letter of Understanding on December 4, 2009.

workshops. The public discussions at these publically noticed workshops formed the basis for
a number of modifications to the report. •
• On September 10, 2010, the County provided the post EAC and CCPC EAR workshop report
to the DCA and various state agencies for a courtesy review.
• On October 15, 2010 the County received the DCA's comments based upon the post EAC and
CCPC EAR workshop report
• On November 3, 2010 the EAC recommended to the BCC to adopt the EAR adoption report
and to transmit to the DCA by unanimous vote.
• The CCPC will hold its adoption public hearing for the EAR on December 7 and 8, 2010. The
BCC will hold its adoption hearing on January '31. 2011.
• The adopted EAR is being submitted to the DCA and the various review agencies after changes
approved by the BCC at its January 31, 2011 public hearing have been incorporated into this
EAR.
• Upon receiving the County's adopted EAR, the DCA will commence review of the report for
sufficiency with Chapter 163.3191. The tentative date for the DCA's Sufficiency Letter
determination is on or about April 27, 2011.
Before progressing to the individual assessments of the objectives and policies of GMP and analysis of •
the identified major issues for the 2011 EAR, the County would likc to provide a brief description of
long range planning efforts undertaken since the date of the last EAR effort. These described efforts
were /are designed to improve the effectiveness of the GMP in attaining its stated goals within its
various elements.
Horizon Study
The East of County Road 951 Infrastructure and Services Horizon Study was a five year long planning
effort to assess the County's ability to accommodate growth within the County's rural eastern portion.
Prior to the initiation of the Study, the regulatory framework for growth in the eastern portion of the
County was established with the adoption of the Rural Fringe Overlay and the Rural Lands
Stewardship Area Overlay within the Growth Management Plan (GMP). The Overlays were the
regulatory solutions arrived upon by the County and the state in response to Final Order No. AC99-
002. With the framework for growth in place and the consistent population increases in the 1990's and
the first three years of this decade, the Collier Board of County Commissioners at its June 29, 2004
meeting recognized the need for a comprehensive, long range planning effort to evaluate the county's
fiscal ability to accommodate growth permitted by the newly adopted regulations within the area East
of County Road 951. A strong emphasis was placed on the County's ability to provide the potential
necessary capital infrastructure and services while maintaining the financial feasibility as set forth in
the level of service standards contained within the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) and the
Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR). To accomplish the task, the Horizon Study was
separated within two Phases. •
vi
The first phase, the Horizon Study Preliminary Report, was an effort of estimating the cost of
providing infrastructure and services for the amount of growth our adopted regulations would permit.
•The Comprehensive Planning Department with the "2005 Build -Out Study" provided a projection of
the maximum number of persons that the GMP would allow for the County and in particular, the
portion east of CR951. From the population projections, the Study attempted to allocate cost
associated with the projected infrastructure and services outlay to serve that population, based upon
existing levels of service. Those infrastructure providers included: Transportation, Public Utilities,
Parks, Schools, Stormwater Management, Libraries, Emergency Medical Services, the Fire Districts
and the County's Chapter 189 Districts. The first phase, Preliminary Report was a twenty -four (24)
month long assessment that developed three levels of potential infrastructure and service provision
scenarios from the various infrastructure and service providing divisions /departments throughout the
County to satisfy the projected population. The Preliminary Report was presented to the BCC at a
May 24, 2006 workshop.
At the May 24, 2006 workshop, the BCC after hearing the presentation of the Preliminary Report and
the three levels of potential infrastructure and service outlay, directed for the second phase of the Study
to gain insight from the property owners of the Study. Moreover, the intention of the planning effort
was to better understand how the property owners in the area East of County Road 951 viewed the
potential growth within the study area, and how those residents felt that growth could best affect the
levels of service for governmental infrastructure and service providers. To direct the second phase of
the Study, the BCC created the Horizon Study Public Participation Master Committee. The East of
CR951 Horizon Study Public Participation process, steered by the Public Participation Master
Committee was a 23 month long process of public presentations designed to inform the general public
of the specifics of the provisions of the various infrastructure and service providers, while
isprofessionally polling and soliciting input from the residents of the Study area in relation to their
perspectives related to those identified potential growth outlays and the cost identified within the first
Phase.
As part of the public participation process, the Master Committee held two successive meetings to
discuss the issue of Transportation planning. Like all components of the Preliminary Study, the
Transportation component provided a working meeting to the Committee, which was held in
Immokalee, and a public participation meeting. These meetings were held in December 2007, and
January 2008. It was during these interactions between the Master Committee and the Transportation
Department that the need for a Bridge Study materialized. As part of the discussions with the
Transportation planning staff, the concept of increasing the mobility within the Golden Gate Estates
through a series of strategically placed bridges resurfaced. During the 2003 update of the Golden Gate
Area Master Plan, the concept of bridging strategic locations within the Subdistrict was promoted.
These direct conversations between the Master Committee and Transportation initiated the Golden
Gate Estates Bridge Study, which was designed to identify the prioritized locations for bridges which
would provide the greatest benefit to overall system capacity. This specific effort will greatly enhance
the county's effort in response to House Bill 697 and will contribute to reductions in overall vehicle
miles traveled (VMT), as well as green house gas (GHG) emission reductions.
In addition to the Bridge Study, the public participation portion of Phase II was comprised of the
development of the Collier County Interactive Growth Model (CIGM). At the inception of the East of
CR951 Study, the BCC issued a policy directive that the study would not include a land use
iscomponent. The intent behind the directive was that future land use changes should not be the impetus
behind analyzing infrastructure needs in the area east of CR951. Although this intent was
fundamentally sound in concept, generally accepted planning practices and principles recognize the
vii
need to link land use planning with transportation planning and other infrastructure needs. Based upon
this recognition, at the May 24, 2006 hearing of the Preliminary Report, the BCC directed staff to enter
into a contract with Van Buskirk, Ryffel and Associates to initiate the development of a land use •
modeling tool, the Collier Inter - Active Growth Model (CIGM). The CIGM was designed to spatially
allocate projected population to assist with the timing and locational decisions related to infrastructure
and service provisions. On January 13, 2009, the BCC officially adopted the CIGM as an additional
planning tool.
The resulting byproduct of the Horizon Study was/is:
L An approved framework of position points established through the public process in regard to
level of service preferences regarding the infrastructure and service provisions for the County's
eastern rural area. These Position Points are expected to be utilized as a factor for
consideration by the BCC as they are evaluating land use decisions and policies within the
Studv area.
2. The developed Collier County Inter - Active Growth Model (CIGM), which will assist in
determination of efficient locational decisions for infrastructure and service locations. It should
also be noted that the CIGM has been utilized by Comprehensive Planning as an additional tool
to evaluate market demand for amendments to the GMP. The CIGM has and is being utilized
by the County to evaluate the appropriate land use mix for the Eastern portion of the County as
new Towns and Villages are proposed within the Rural Fringe District and the Rural Lands
Stewardship Area Overlays and identify inefficiencies /deficiencies within the proposed land use
allocation for the Eastern portion of the County.
•
3. The Horizon Study Oversight Committee, created by The BCC at their January 13, 2009 Public
Hearing to ensure staff was maintaining and utilizing the CIGM in the most efficient and
effective manner.
4. The Golden Gate Bridge Study was approved by the BCC at their January 13, 2009 Public
Hearing and as funds become available the Bridge Study will establish the prioritization of
locations for system improvements. The improvements or new bridge locations are designed to
provide for a reduction in overall trip lengths within the Golden Gate Estates.
A final long range planning effort was initiated in collaboration with the Horizon Study and the RLSA
5 -year Review Committee work, the Master Mobility Plan. That effort is currently on -going and will
be described at the clatter portion of the Introduction.
Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay 5 -Year Review Committee
Collier County adopted the RLSA Overlay in the Land Development Code (LDC) as Section 4.08.00
on January 30, 2004 as the implementing regulation for the Growth Management Plan amendments
known broadly as the "Rural/Eastern Lands Amendments" which were developed in response to
Administration Commission Final Order No. AC99 -002, which required a "Rural and Agricultural
Assessment" and subsequent adoption of the Growth Management Plan amendment based upon that
assessment. •
Viii
The BCC established the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Review Committee per Policy 1.22 of the
RLSA Overlay, which required a Five -Year Review of the RLSA. Accordingly, the BCC established
•the ad hoc Rural Lands Stewardship Area Review Committee (Committee) by Resolution Number
2007 -305A on October 24, 2007, and provided the Committee with the following functions, powers
and duties:
1. "Review data concerning the participation and effectiveness in the Overlay meeting the
Goal, Objective, and Policies in the Future Land Use Element of the Growth Management
Plan.
2. Review the RLSA Overlay and make recommendations to increase the effectiveness of the
Overlay.
3. Assist in determining the most effective venues and dates to hold public presentations; and
4. Assist in promoting public interest in the review process."
On May 27, 2008, the BCC approved the "Phase I- Technical Report" (#I of functions, powers, and
duties of the Committee). The "Phase I- Technical Report" was a review of data concerning the
participation and effectiveness in the Overlay meeting the Goal, Objective, and Policies in the Future
Land Use Element of the GMP which is required by Policy 1.22 of the RLSA Overlay. The "Phase I-
Technical Report" was presented and responded to by the Collier County Planning Commission
(CCPC) and the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) prior to presentation to the BCC. On May 27,
2008, the "Phase I- Technical Report" of the Committee was brought before the BCC, accepted by the
•BCC, and forwarded to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for its records in accordance
with the directive contained in Policy 1.22 of the RLSA.
While Phase I was the technical report on the programs accomplishments to date, the Committee also
generated a Phase II report which provided an assessment of the policies of the RLSA and potential
amendments to those policies to increase their effectiveness. The Phase II report was generated over
the course of twenty public meetings between March 4, 2008 and December 18. 2008. The BCC on
December 2, 2008 provided direction to staff to facilitate the review of the Committee's Phase II
report before both the CCPC and the EAC. Accordingly, a combined total of eleven (11) public
meetings were held (6 CCPC public meetings and 5 EAC public meetings) between January 28 and
March 10, 2009 of which a total of 8 were public hearing dates before the CCPC (January 28 & 30,
February 5, 20, & 26) and the EAC (January 29, February 5 & 27). During these public hearings the
public was encouraged to speak concerning the Report. All meetings of the CCPC and EAC were
properly noticed public meetings, recorded with minutes taken, and most meetings were televised.
On January 6, 2009 the Committee issued its original 2- volume "Five -Year Review of the Rural Lands
Stewardship Program" Report which includes the following:
a. Volume 1 of the Report contains the approved "Phase I- Technical Report" (to the BCC on
May 27, 2008), as well as the "Phase II -RLSA Overlay" review and recommendations; and
b. Volume 2 of the Report contains the major appendices and support documentation which the
Committee considered when forming and finalizing its recommendations to the BCC.
•Prior to its issuance of the original January, 2009 Final Report, the Committee held a series of public
meetings between November, 2007 and January 6, 2009 and received and reviewed information
provided by experts, heard from representatives of several organizations and individuals and summary
ix
minutes and taped recorded documents were developed and maintained for public record. Most of the
Committee meetings were held in the Community Development and Environmental Services building,
while several of the meetings were held at both the new Town of Ave Maria and at the North Collier is
Regional Park. These meetings led to the preparation of the Phase I and Phase II Reports. Most
meetings were well attended with audience attendance /participation usually ranging between 15 and 30
persons. All persons were given an opportunity to speak and/or present information.
There are no time specific requirement in the GMP RLSA Goal, Objective and Policies that any
amendments to the RLSA Overlay be made, but the Committee did arrive upon a list of modifications
to the program based upon the Original Report. It should be noted that the proposed amendments to
the RLSA Overlav were /are Committee - driven. At the time proposed amendments to the RLSA
Overlay of the GMP have not been substantively reviewed by Staff for sufficiency, completeness,
supporting data and analysis, proper "wordsmithing ", and consistency with the GMP, Florida Statutes.
and Florida Administrative Code. Moreover, the Committee was aware that not all of the data and
analysis to support the amendments has been completed. The extensive two year review of the RLSA
Overlay has formed the basis of the EAR review and analysis of the Overlay, which is specified as
major issue #7 within the letter of understanding between the County and DCA.
Adoption of the Ten -Year Water Supply Plan
In anticipation of the rapid population growth and increasing water demands facing the State, and the
potential threats to both the economy and natural resources, the Legislature amended the Florida Water
Resources Act (Chapter 373, F.S.) in 1997. The amendment required the five water management
districts to initiate regional water supply planning in all areas of the State where reasonable anticipated
sources of water were deemed inadequate to meet year 2020 projected demands. is
The purpose of water supply planning is to develop strategies to meet future water demands of urban
and agricultural uses, while meeting the needs of the environment. This process identifies areas where
historically used sources of water will not be adequate to meet future demands, and evaluates several
water source options to meet the shortfall. As mandated by Florida water law, each regional water
supply plan is based on at least a 20 -year future planning horizon, and a complete update of each plan
is required every five years.
The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has developed a long -term comprehensive
regional water supply plan update for its planning area. Collier County is within the Lower West Coast
Water Supply Plan. Previous water supply plans for the Lower West Coast were completed in February
1994 (planning horizon 2010) and April 2000 (planning horizon 2020), which the County utilized to
develop its 2002 Water Master Plan Update. The most recent water supply plan update is the 2005-
2006 Lower West Coast Plan Update that has a planning horizon of 2025.
In 2002 the Legislature expanded the local government comprehensive plan requirements, known as
Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes, to strengthen coordination of water supply planning and local land
use planning. One of the most significant requirements was a Ten -Year Water Supply Facilities Work
Plan in order to project the local government's needs for at least a 10 -year period, identify and
prioritize the water supply facilities and sources of water that will be needed to meet those needs, and
include in the local government's Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements the capital
improvements identified as needed for the first five years. •
X
To date, the County's Water Master Plan has been considered the County's official plan for water
capital improvements and the basis for the 5 -year Capital Improvement Schedule contained in the
10 Capital Improvement Element.
Lower West Coast Planning Area Map
On February 25, 2003 the Board of County Commissioners adopted an update to the County's 2001
Water Master Plan. to provide an integrated approach for meeting the projected water system demands
up to the year 2022. The "2002 Water Master Plan Update" provided for comprehensive overview of
the entire water system, including emergency systems. water demand projections and demands and
proposed conservation and reclaimed water projects, and provided a plan for future water supply and
infrastructure needs to meet the requirements of growth. infrastructure renewal. replacement and
enhancement over a course of five years. This plan utilized population projections prepared by the
Collier County Comprehensive Planning Department that were approved at that time by the Florida
Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and accepted by the SFWMD. Water demands were
provided at five -year increments to be consistent with the 2000 Lower West Coast Regional Water
Supply Plan. The 2002 Water Master Plan Update formed the foundation for the proposed County's
Ten -Year Water Supplies Facilities Work Plan.
During the State of Florida's 2005 legislative session, lawmakers revised state water law to include a
new statutory provision. Local governments within the Lower West Coast Planning Area are required
Xi
to prepare a Ten -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan that identifies eater supply projects, and
adopt revisions to comprehensive plans within 18 months following the approval of the 2005 -2006
Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan Update. e^
On January 25, 2007, as part of the 2004 EAR -based amendments, and in preparation of the
anticipated Ten -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan, Collier County adopted language to
coordinate water supply planning with SFWMD. Modifications of various Goals, Objectives and
Policies (GOPs), as required by these legislative actions, were addressed through the GMP amendment
to the Potable Water Sub - Element, Conservation and Coastal Management Element and the
Intergovernmental Coordination Element. The amendments referenced the 2002 Water Master Plan
Update and any subsequent updates as the appropriate document for the County's water supply
planning. On February 24, 2009, the County adopted the Ten -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan.
The plan, and any subsequent updates, is the County's appropriate document for water supply
planning.
Floodplain/Watershed Management Plans
Beginning in 2004, Collier County developed its initial Floodplain Management Plan (FMP) as a part
of its participation in the National Flood Insurance Program's Community Rating System (CRS). The
FMP was incorporated into the County's overall Hazard Mitigation Plan. In 2006, Collier County
established a F000dplain Management Planning Committee (FMPC) under the direction of the County
Manager. The purpose of the FMPC was to provide input into updates to the FMP and annually
review the FMP Action Plan for completion of the action items. Immediately upon the establishment
of the FMPC, the County initiated a rewrite of the FMP to better address the requirements identified by
FEMA in the CRS Coordinator's Manual. That rewrite was completed by late 2007 and the new FMP
was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in December 2007. The FMPC typically meets
once a month. Throughout the year the FMPC reviews progress being made on the FMP action plan
items, discusses desired floodplain management program ideas, and has been working on development
and approval of a new Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance to comply with current Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirements.
In addition to floodplain management as directed through the National Flood Insurance Program, the
County has also committed to development of watershed management plans to address water resource
issues (rainfall, runoff, flooding, water use, water quality, natural system needs, impacts of new
development, correcting existing problems, etc.). That work started in 2007 with the establishment of
a dedicated budget for development of the watershed management plans. A consultant was hired to
assist staff in laying out a framework of activities that needed to be accomplished, and the interlinking
of these activities as subsequent consultants were hired to accomplish the work by the end of 2010.
Initial work began with contracting for a unified aerial topographic mapping of the County (this did not
include the vast area of the Big Cypress National Preserve east of SR -29 which is all federal land and
not subject to change from development interests) using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR).
Coupled with that was the development of a detailed computer model of the vast network of publicly
operated drainage facilities. This modeling was coordinated with the South Florida Water
Management District by using their existing model as the starting model and providing more detail,
coupled with the new LiDAR topography, and updated land use. The County hired a consultant firm
to accomplish this work, and they are currently working on the modeling. The result will be an
analysis of the existing conditions, and development of alternatives to address the identified problems
as well as look toward the impacts of future development potential to ensure that additional problems
are not created. The process of developing the watershed management plans includes extensive
xii
coordination with other local and state agencies along with the public through periodic public
meetings.

Energy udit and Greenhouse Gas Inventory tory Report &Rebuilding Collier's Energy Use Task
Force
The report presented the results of an energy use /greenhouse gas inventory for Collier County, for
calendar year 2007, an accounting of both energy use and the amounts and sources of emissions of
greenhouse gases (GHG) for the community as a whole, encompassing the area within the County
limits, with a detailed look at Collier County government operations. Results are presented in terms of
standard GHG units, but their magnitudes directly reflect the relative importance of differing forms of
energy use in the County. The purpose of the inventory was to better understand the ways the County
utilized energy so that effective policies and programs could be implemented to reduce costs and
environmental impact. Additionally, the inventory provides a baseline against which future energy use
and emissions reductions can be measured.
The project was funded by Collier County Audubon Society, The Conservancy of Southwest Florida
and National Audubon's TogetherGreen grant program and utilized the software and protocol provided
by ICLEI, the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives.
The three primary motivations for the Energy Audit Report were:
1) Understanding patterns of energy use can lead to saving residents /taxpayers money.
2) It is widely accepted that fossil fuel energy use contributes to global climate change, the extent
• of which will be critical for low lying regions like Collier County. Assessing and reducing
emissions demonstrates responsibility to present and future residents.
3) Increasing numbers of state and federal programs (and grant opportunities) require
municipalities to address climate change. By following the established ICLEI protocol, Collier
County joins twenty four communities in Florida and hundreds nationwide willing to take
action and thus demonstrate responsibility and accountability.
The report provided specific recommendation recommendations and next steps for County as follows:
1) Establish the following reduction targets: 10% by 2020, 20% by 2030, and 50% by 2050.
2) Collate a summary of the baseline inventory, all energy savings related projects, together with
additional programs (including but not limited to those described below) into a comprehensive Collier
County Climate Action Plan. Identify within the plan how GHG reduction measures tie into other
County and regional efforts (such as the Master Mobility Plan, Coastal Management Plans and Land
Development Codes). Include an assessment of the impacts of climate change and energy management
in existing plans and codes to ensure the County anticipates and budgets properly for all potential
changes in Collier County through at least the next forty years.
3) Pursue the LFGTE project along with other waste management projects.
4) Continue government based work: i) building energy retrofits, ii) street lighting replacements to
• high efficiency bulbs, iii) alternative fuel vehicles, and iv) promote the commuter services program.
5) Continue the community focused transportation programs such as traffic signal optimization.
Xiii
6) Establish new community oriented programs to include: i) a community focused `Be Green when
Green makes Cents" program, or equivalent and ii) a Green Business Program. (Additional programs
could be described within in the planned Master Mobility Plan and potentially be funded through
additional grant monies or other sources).
7) Carry out an energy use /greenhouse gas emissions re- inventory in 3 -5 years to measure progress.
The Energy Audit was presented to and accepted by the Board of County Commissioners in November
of 2009. While the Board did not provide wholesale acceptance of all of the recommendations
contained in the report, the Board did, based upon the acceptance of the Report, create the Rebuilding
Collier's Energy Use Task Force. The purpose of the Task Force is to explore the recommendations
contained within the Report and bring suggestions back to the Board on the means to accomplishing
the energy efficiencies contained in the Report.
The work of the Task Force is on -going at the time of authoring this report. In June of 2010, the Task
Force began discussions with the Board regarding the development of a program to green up energy
use at homes and businesses throughout the County. The program the Task Force envisions would
take advantage of legislation called Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE), signed by Gov. Crist in
May 2010. PACE sets out a financing mechanism for local governments to create a pool of money
homeowners and businesses can tap for projects from electric car chargers to energy efficient
windows. Other possible uses for the money include insulation upgrades, solar panels, wind turbines
and energy efficient air conditioning. The full specifics and applicability of the program were still in
the development stage by the Task Force at the time of authoring this report, but the PACE program
and other similar efforts to increase energy efficiency within the County are expected based on the n
Task Force's work within the Energy Audit. The future recommendations of the Task Force, once
approved by the Board are expected to intertwine with the regulatory environment of the County.
In a related effort, it should be noted that each of the Objectives and Policies contained in the GMP
Elements have been reviewed in relationship to House Bill 697 and the proponents of energy
efficiency. A copy of the Second Draft Rules for HB697 has been provided as supporting
documentation for the EAR workbook.
Master Mobility Plan
The purpose of the Master Mobility Plan (MMP) is to guide the need and location of land use, public
services (libraries, EMS, schools, etc), multi -modal transportation and various infrastructures while
protecting environmentally sensitive land, habitat and agricultural land with the primary objective of
reducing Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), as the County progresses to build -out. The Board of County
Commissioners on July 28, 2009, provided approval to staff to seek a grant under the Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant ( EECBG) Program, which were funds made available for the
first time under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The County received the
EECBG grant on September 8h and the BCC approved the grant on September 29h.
The MMP is intended to be a concise and practical plan that will manage growth in a sustainable,
financially feasible and environmentally responsible manner. It is anticipated that the plan will be
developed within a 24 month time frame. In addition, implementation of certain sub elements of the
plan such as local street network connectivity, signal timing and other projects that reduce greenhouse
gases and VMT will be initiated during the development of the MMP. This plan will inherently allow
xlv
for flexibility through the development and integration of Growth Management Plan goals, objectives
and policies as well as Land Development Code criteria that will help accomplish the following:
• 1. Provide needed infrastructure and reduce redundancies by the establishment and
incorporation of an Infrastructure Master Plan with the goal of reducing the VMT.
2. Strategically locate public services as well as private residential, commercial and
industrial development by the establishment and incorporation of a Land Use Master
Plan with the goal of reducing the VMT.
3. Incorporate multi -modal transportation alternatives by the establishment and
implementation of a Mobility Master Plan with the goal of reducing the VMT.
4. Preserve environmentally sensitive land, habitat and agricultural land by the
establishment and incorporation of a Wildlife Crossings and Habitat Preservation
Master Plan
5. Secure MOU's (Memorandum of Understanding) that define, validate and document the
commitments ' and expectations of Collier County Government and the primary
stakeholders and agencies.
The development and implementation of the MMP will result in job creation, job retainment, a
measurable reduction of fossil fuel consumption and less impact to the environment caused by future
growth. The MMP will help guide Collier County through its next phase of growth efficiently and
effectively. The investment in transportation, environmental protection, and other infrastructure will
provide long -term economic and environmental benefits. Mobility investments and subsidies are
justified in that they will promote financial feasibility by:
• 1. Increasing and improving cost - effective, environmentally responsible mobility options.
2. Result in more cost effective transportation facility and service investments.
3. Increase transport system efficiency (reduces total costs or increase total benefits).
4. Reducing resource costs, such as the amount of fuel consumed per unit of transport, and
the amount of land devoted to transport facilities.
5. Significantly reduce VMT. The savings that results when motorist reduce mileage are
widely distributed throughout the economy.
The Planning Objectives for the plan are: Congestion Reduction, Parking Costs Savings, Facility Cost
Savings, Consumer Cost Savings, Reduced Traffic Accidents, Improved Mobility Options, Energy
Conservation, Pollution Reduction, Physical Fitness & Health, Land Use Objectives and Community
Livability
The MMP project scope is detailed below:
1. Build databases and GIS maps of existing and proposed stakeholder plans (utility,
xv
parks, fire, protection overlays, etc.).
2.
Prepare Infrastructure Master Plan
3.
Prepare Land Use Master Plan
4.
Prepare Mobility Master Plan
• 5.
Prepare Wildlife Crossings and Habitat Preservation Master Plan
6.
Secures MOU's
xv
7. Incorporate recommendations /changes resulting from public workshops into Draft
Vision Plan Map.
8. Conduct evaluation of effects of vision plan/land use scenario (placement of public
services) on transportation plan.
9. Document results of evaluation stating benefits and disadvantages.
10. Prepare Draft Vision Plan Report.
11. Submit Draft Vision Plan Report to Collier County for review.
12. Incorporate County staff revisions and recommendations into Final Draft Vision Plan
Report.
13. Provide support to County staff for presentations to CCPC and BOCC.
14. GMP Recommendations
15. Final Map Set
16. MOU's signed
By the time of this transmittal of the EAR in January 2011, the MMP will be 14 months into
development and the conclusion of the planning effort is fully expected to result in a number of
amendments to the GMP and the Land Development Code directly related to the reduction of vehicle
miles traveled and the corresponding green house gas reductions.
Conclusion
Each of these efforts have been highlighted near the beginning of the EAR document to demonstrate
the County's efforts and undertakings to gain increased efficiency within the co- ordination of future
private development, public expenditures, environmental protections and diverse broad based land use
allocations. A number of the lessons learned from these past and on -going efforts have influenced and
shaped this EAR report and have identified areas where the GMP could be amended to better
accomplish the goals, objects and polices contained within. The premise of everyone of the County's
efforts addressed within this section have been motivated by the same base motivation as the EAR
process, to ensure that the regulator environment provided for within the Collier Growth Management
Plan, is one that provides the County's citizens, businesses and natural systems the greatest chance at
long term sustainability.

Chapter One — Public Participation
•Engaging the public in the evaluation and appraisal of the Comprehensive Plan is challenging. While
County staff undertook several specific exercises to obtain input and feedback from stakeholders,
public outreach and involvement is really a full -time, year -round activity, requiring the planner to
continually be listening in all forums and settings, not just those devised for the EAR.
Described below are the specific events used to gain input and insight into the long term desires of the
County's citizens, business community, educators, regulatory agencies, etc. In addition to these
activities which were specific to the EAR, several other methods of obtaining input into the evaluation
and long range planning process were described within the introduction section of the EAR.
EAR Kick -off Meeting at the Southwest Regional Planning Council
On August 26, 2009, County staff attended a workshop, at the offices of the Southwest Florida
Regional Planning Council, in North Fort Myers to meet with DCA representatives and representatives
from other state and regional agencies to discuss the EAR process, learn of issues c6hsidered important
by the DCA staff, and to learn how neighboring local governments intended to respond to issues
identified by the State.
Inter - Governmental Kick -off Meeting
On September 8, 2009, Comprehensive Planning hosted an EAR intergovernmental meeting. The
meeting offered an opportunity to fellow staff from local City agencies to identify and discuss areas of
•concern with respect to intergovernmental items or issues common to fellow governments. In addition,
this meeting provided an opportunity to discuss sharing data, to discuss new data that must be
generated, and the analysis necessary to address those issues identified as outdated, problematic, or
where compliance has not occurred or is no longer practical.
Meetings with County Departments
Early on in the EAR development process, planning staff met individually with most of the County
Departments. For the entire "life" of the County's Comprehensive Plan, most of the County
Departments have been actively involved in the front end of the planning process, including in the
development of policies, as well as in implementing the actions, programs and projects that fall out of
the Plan. It is the ongoing involvement at all levels of County operations in the comprehensive
planning process that have resulted in a Plan that is meaningful and realistic, and can be effectively
implemented. Although a formal meeting was arranged with each Department early in EAR
development, in actuality, the coordination and collaboration is constant and ongoing. In many cases,
Departments have recommended specific amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
Co- ordination with Other Agencies
Staff interacted with the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) concerning their
expectations for the County's EAR. Overall, SWFWMD's big areas of concern for Collier County fell
• under the heading of Water Resource Protection and Climate Change. For Water Resource Protection,
1

the subject areas highlighted by the District were: flood protection and water quality, vulnerability of
potable water supply to contamination and demand rate for water supply projects. Under the heading
of Climate Change, strategies to protect water supplies and potential saltwater intrusion were n
highlighted. For the assessment of the Economic Element of the GMP staff co- ordinated the review
efforts with the Collier County Economic Development Council, not - for - profit organization whose
mission is to diversify the economy and create high wage jobs
County and Departmental Website
The EAR webpage described the purpose and value of the Comprehensive Plan and went over the
EAR process, summarized meetings and events related to the EAR, and importantly, provided a
location for people to track the list of issues as it developed throughout the public participation
process, and the review schedule and results of the advisory board EAR workshops held in the summer
of 2010.
EAR Public Meetings
Throughout the spring of 2010, planning staff conducted 3 workshops around the County. The
locations of the public meetings were distributed to the various areas within the County to provide ease
of access to a majority of the County's residents. The workshops provided people with the opportunity
to hear staff presentations concerning the purpose, scope and schedule of the EAR, ask questions about
the Comprehensive Plan and the EAR process, provide comment to what they felt was working and
what could be improved within the County, and to meet County staff from several different
Departments. While turnout at the workshops was not overwhelming, the input received from the
public, as well as municipal staffs attending the workshops, was important and contributed to the
development and refinement of issues and opportunities. Below is a listing of the Public Comments
received at each of the three public participation meetings.
The 1 st EAR Public Participation Meeting held at the North Naples Regional Park on January 25, 2010.
The comments received from those in attendance have been grouped associated with the major issues
identified by the County and DCA. Following the issue cited will be the corresponding objective or
policy within the GMP elements to which it pertains.
For the comments received over the course of the three public participation meetings for the EAR, staff
did not attempt to generalize and/or categorize the comments, but rather, as mentioned, linked the
comment to the appropriate policy and/or objective in one of the GMP elements, where applicable.
Each public comment that is linked to a policy or objective will be noted in Chapter Two of the EAR.
This approach will allow the reader understand how the public comment relates to staff s analysis of
the policy or objective and what, if any modifications, revisions, deletions are being suggested. It
should be noted that a number of the comments received are either issues dealing with the
programmatic delivery of services provide for by the various departments /divisions of the County or
are observations from the individual related to issues outside of the purview of the GMP policies and
objectives. These comments have been designated accordingly.
The I" EAR Public Participation Meeting was held at the North Collier Regional Park -
Administration Building - Room A -6 on January 25, 2010, below are the comments received.

Public Participation
December 2010 CCPC Adoption Hearing
• Allow owners of Receiving Lands to convert a portion of those lands to Sending Lands in order to
get more TDRs to use on their remaining Receiving Lands. This process should be available
through a rezoning -like process rather than requiring a comprehensive plan amendment.
• Increase the TDR Credits formula for Base TDRs to more than the current one (1) base TDR per
five (5) acres. In designated Receiving Areas allow a density of greater than one unit per acre with
the use of TDRs and not limit density above one unit per acre to only Rural Villages. Non - villages
should be able to go up to 2 units per acre. Like the RLSA, rural villages should be able to go to 4
units per acre.
• Remove /modify the very detailed and unworkable requirements for development of a Rural
Village. Increase the TDR Bonus multiplier in a Rural Village to make it economically viable. At
the present time, the TDR program is too expensive for a higher dense village. As density
increases, average prices come down.
• Remove the minimum required purchase amount of $25,000 for a Base TDR and instead let the
market work to determine TDR prices.
• Protect existing TDR holders but drastically revamp the current program such that it is less costly
to develop in receiving areas.
■ Encourage the establishment of mitigation banks in the Rural Fringe for listed species.
■ Another option to consider is to establish separate overlays for each of the four distinct Rural
Fringe development areas, similar to the North Belle Meade Overlay which has its own set of
development standards.
• The current Rural Fringe provisions of the GMP already call for the County to consider the
feasibility of establishing a "TDR Bank" to be administered by the County or some other non -for-
profit government, or quasi governmental agency with the objective of making funds available to
support the TDR program by offering initial minimal purchase prices of TDR credits. The County
should create a TDR bank.
• Consider allowing owners of large tracts in the Rural Fringe the option of utilizing the standards
and procedures of the RLSA program.
• Allow for the ability to transfer a certain percentage of density credits from the RLSA to the Rural
Fringe.
• There is a need to have different more favorable treatment for owners of Sending Land parcels of
twenty (20) acres or less to facilitate their participation.
• Extend the early entry bonus another 2 years, due to the protracted real estate and economic
slowdown.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
■ Create jobs to minimize the need for affordable housing. Programmatic
■ Eliminate impact fees for affordable housing units. Policy 2.10 Housing Element
■ Utilize existing housing stock for affordable housing, e.g. foreclosure properties. Observational
■ Provide for various stages of transitional housing for varying income levels. Policy 2.2 Housing
Element

■ Mandate affordable housing within all developments; residential and mixed -use. Policy 1.3
Housing Element
■ Provide public transportation proximate to affordable housing units. Policy 2.11 Housing Element
■ Defer impact fees for affordable housing. Policy 2.10 Housing Element
■ Provide density bonus incentives for the development of affordable housing units within mixed -use
developments. Policy 2.9 Housing Element
■ Stop the perpetual loss of affordable housing units by prohibiting the conversion of those units to
market rate units. (Property owners receive the benefit of increased density for constructing
affordable units, but then these unit types eventually go away and become market rate units.)

2,1 - Population growth and changes in land area, including annexation, singe the adoption
of the original plan or the most recent update amendments.
Since the 2004 EAR, the city of Naples has had six annexations comprising a land area 01'44 1,42
acres (.69 square miles). Five out of the six annexations were of non- residential land uses or
vacant residential, with the exception of the Moorings :Park Mixed Use development that resulted
in a slight decrease in the unincorporated population and increase in the City's population. The
Moorings Park Mixed Use development is a pre - planned retirement community authorized for
594 residential units, ranging from single family detached units to individual patient rooms, the
estimated population for the development is no more than 800 persons. For the municipalities of
Marco Island and Everglades City, there were no annexations during the evaluation period.

[III
In order to assess the Character and Magnitude of Land Uses in Collier County a study of the
four major land uses (Developed, Undeveloped, Conservation/Preservation and Agricultural)
was conducted for each of the 12 Planning Communities for the 2004 Collier EAR and to
provide consistency in analysis the same structure of comparison was preformed for the 2011
EAR. The analysis (see Table 2.1) demonstrates that development in unincorporated Collier
County is not only concentrated within the Urban Planning Communities (North Naples,
Central Naples, East Naples, South Naples Golden Gate, Marco, Urban Estates and
Immokalee), but has been experienced in the Rural Planning Communities (Royal Fakapalm,
Big Cypress, Rural Estates and Corkscrew), as well. These communities, while remaining
largely undeveloped, have experienced a larger percentage of growth in developed lands
compared against the Urban Planning Communities. The development within the rural
planning communities has placed a greater cost for the provision of services to the county's
infrastructure providers, as distance is a primary factor within the calculation of cost of
service. It should be noted that due to the larger percentage of dedicated
conservation/preservation designation that the majority of the acres contained within these
communities will remain undeveloped.

The comparison tables shows that the County has experienced a 19.9 percent increase in
developed land over the past six years (131,964 - 110,097/110,097), with a majority of that
expansion contained in the 2004 -2006 time period. For the period of comparison the BEBR
population estimates for the unincorporated area indicate an estimate in 2003 of 260,948 and
an estimate in 2009 of 293,909 a 12.6 percent increase {(293,909 - 260,948)/260,948}. The
increase in developed land was not supported by a corresponding rate of population increase
for the period of analysis. Clearly a negative consequence associated with the housing
bubble of the past decade. Chart 2.1 on the following page illustrates the extent of developed,
undeveloped and undevelopable land within the County's land inventory.

In order to assess developed land uses in Collier County a comparison of Residential,
Commercial, Industrial and Institutional uses was conducted for each of the County's 12
Planning Communities, comparing the table generated for the 2004 EAR against the 2011
EAR. This analysis is provided for in Fable 2.3 and 2.4, and Chart 221 and 2.3.

As noted within the analysis for the time period, based upon BEBR estimates, the
unincorporated population for the County increased by 12.5 percent, where both the
residential and commercial categories increased at a accelerated pace, the institution category
was close to alignment with the population increase and the percent increase of industrial
land use lagged significantly the population rate of increase. The outpacing of the
residential and commercial development compared to the expansion of the population has a

11-11 23 - The EAtent Of Vacant & 9-evelopable Land
A. Background;
,Section 16' ) 3191 (21) fb ' ), Florida Statutes., requires Evailuatilon & Appraisal Reports to. assess thy:
extent of vacant and developable land within the rei-ovant jurisdiction. In Collicr County, non-
residential development is restricted by the nature of the County's Future Land Use Desilonatioia
provisions. Therefore, it is safe, at least under current conditio-ris, to assume that most tiacapt anti
developable land will ultimately be developed either as residential Property or as some type of
agricultural use.
B. Analysis,
Staff s analysis of the acreage and percentage of developed land, as well as that of the vacant and
developable land, in Collier County was generated utilizing the most current Collier County
Property, Appraiser's Office (PAO) tax parcel data; (December 1, 2009). Staff summarized the
number of acres per Land Use Code from the Florida Department of Revenue's (FDOR) official
land use designations. Please refer to Tables 2.3-1 and 2.3-2

Based upon the PAO's records, there are approximately 1,354,936 acres in Collier County,
Approximately 138,100 acres or 10 percent of Collier County consist of developed land. In
addition, 334,347 acres or 24 percent of Collier County consists of vacant and developable land.
Please refer to the map on page 2.3,4, The Collier Inter - Active Growth Model (CIGM) approved
by the BCC in January, 2009, as a supplemental planning tool projected that the build -out
population for the County would be approximately 950,223. The most recent University of
Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research estimate for the County's current population
is 333,032 for April, 2009, The current population estimates (333,032) compared against the
amount developed land (138,100) equates to ,415 acres of developed land per capita. Utilizing
this ratio against the projected build out population of 950,223 would yield a total of 394,343
acres of developed land to satisfy the projected population. The total acres of land developed
(138,100), plus the vacant and developable land (334,347) results in approximately 472,447 of
land either developed or developable or expressed another way 20 percent more developable
land than the population projections would require. It should also be pointed out that the current,
.415 acres of developed land per capita is derived in part from antedated large lot zoning
practices such as the estates. Based upon the regulatory allo`vances of the Gl` P the future rate
of acres of developed land per capita is expected to diminish.
C. Summary:
3
Vacant &.Developable Land
Based upon the daLi analysis. Co lier County appeals to haY� a stiff ciem anioLnt of aca t and

n 2.5 Assessment of Methodology for Concurrency Management
Background:
Section 163.3191 (2) (p), Florida Statutes, requires the Evaluation & Appraisal Report to
provide an assessment of the extent to which changes are needed to develop a common
methodology for measuring impacts on transportation facilities for the purpose of implementing
its concurrency management system in coordination with the municipalities and counties.
Analysis:
The only municipality inside the geographic boundary that comprises Collier County that
performs a separate transportation system and concurrency review is the City of Naples, and
Marco Island. Naples operates inside of a TCEA. All other jurisdictions within Collier County
fall under the County's methodology which is regulated by the adopted TIS Guidelines and
consistent with the review performed by the other jurisdictions within the County and FDOT.
Continual coordination between the multiple jurisdictions occurs through interaction with the
Collier MPO.

Objective: A more specific statement than the stated Goal; describing actions that will help achieve the
goal(s), typically beginning with the active verb providing the general direction, such as, "Implement ",
"Promote" or "Protect ". Objectives use the term "will" and allow Policies to specifically require an
activity with "shall ".
Policies: Specific statements that provide directives on how to achieve the objectives and ultimately the
Element's goals, typically beginning with phrases like, "The County shall promote...", "The County
shall continue to..." or "The District shall expand..." or similar phrases. Policies use the terms "may"
or "shall" to provide specific direction.
Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Element should be revised to reflect Department name changes,

CIE SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Assessment of the Successes & Shortcomings
and Recommendations
for the Capital Improvement Element
A. Introduction & Background:
The purpose of the Capital Improvement Element is defined within its single Goal, which reads as
follows:
TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES CONCURRENT WITH NEW DEVELOPMENT IN
ORDER TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN OR EXCEED ADOPTED STANDARDS FOR LEVELS OF
SERVICE.
The intent of the Capital Improvement Element is to identify public facilities that will be required
during the next five years, including the cost of such facilities, and the sources of revenue that will be
used to fund construction or development of the facilities. As such, the Capital Improvement Element
is updated annually, including revision of the 5 -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements.
The annual update and amendment to the Capital Improvement Element, adopted January 28, 2008
included the initial step toward re- naming of certain Sub - Elements including: from the "Sanitary
Sewer" Sub - Element to the "Wastewater Treatment" Sub - Element; from the "Drainage" Sub - Element
to the "Stormwater Management" Sub - Element, and; from the "Solid Waste" Sub - Element to the
"Solid Waste Disposal" Sub - Element. The new names initially appeared in the Capital Improvement
Element as combinations of old and new names as a transition preceding these EAR -based
amendments. The new names — no longer in their transitional forms — should be used in all titles,
headings and text within this Element, and in all references to these Sub - Elements found throughout
the Growth Management Plan.
As currently formatted, the Capital Improvement Element consists entirely of a single Goal, and its
supporting Objectives and Policies. This Goal should be retained as written.
B. Objectives Analysis:
OBJECTIVE 1 (PUBLIC FACILITY LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS):
Identify and define types of public facilities, establish standards for levels of service for each
such public facility, and determine what quantity of additional public facilities is needed in
order to achieve and maintain the standards.
Policy Relevance:
There are five (5) policies within this Objective.
Policy 1.4:
Public facility improvements are to be considered in the following order or priority:
A. Replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities, including repair, remodeling and
renovation of facilities that contribute to achieving or maintaining levels of service.
1
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
B. New facilities that reduce or eliminate existing deficiencies in levels of service.
C. New facilities that provide the adopted levels of service for new growth during the next
five fiscal years, as updated by the annual review of this Capital Improvement Element.
In the event that the planned capacity of public facilities is insufficient to serve all
applicants for development orders, the capital improvements will be scheduled in the
following priority order to serve:
1. previously approved development orders permitting redevelopment,
2. previously approved development orders permitting new development,
3. new development orders permitting redevelopment, and
4. new development orders permitting new developments.
D. Improvements to existing facilities, and new facilities that significantly reduce the
operating cost of providing a service or facility.
E. New facilities that exceed the adopted levels of service for new growth during the next
five fiscal years by either:
1. providing excess public facility capacity that may be needed by future growth
beyond the next five fiscal years, or
2. providing higher quality public facilities than are contemplated in the County's
normal design criteria for such facilities.
This Policy explains the method for prioritizing public facilities' improvements. This Policy remains
relevant and should be retained and revised to add a closing statement associated with the Major Issue
of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, such as, When further considering projects prioritized by
this order, the higher priority shall be assigned to improvements designed to reduce, or not
increase, greenhouse gas emissions through shortened vehicular trip lengths, trips taken by
another mode of transportation, or by other substantive means.
[Public Comment from February 23, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting the planning period
should be extended beyond ten years.]
[Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that
additional language maybe needed to more clearly provide for the option of not constructing certain
improvements at all.]
Policy 1.5:
The standards for levels of service of public facilities shall be as follows:
A. Roadways:
1. Arterials and collector roads: Level of Service indicated below on the basis of peak
hour, traffic volume:
Level of Service "E" on all six -lane roads
2
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
2. Level of Service "D" peak hour on all other County and State arterial and collector
roads not on the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FINS).
B. State and Federal Roads:

OBJECTIVE 2 (FINANCIAL FEASIBIL1710:
Provide public facilities, as described in Policy 1.1 above, in order to maintain adopted level of
service standards that are within the ability of the County to fund, within the County's authority
to require others to provide, or as provided by the School District within their financially
feasible Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan, formally adopted by the School Board between
July 1 and October 1 each year. With the exception of public school facilities, existing public
facility deficiencies measured against the adopted level of service standards will be eliminated
with revenues generated by ad valorem taxes and other intergovernmental revenues received
based on economic activity. Future development will bear a proportionate cost of facility
improvements necessitated by growth. Future development's payments may take the form of,
but are not limited to, voluntary contributions for the benefit of any public facility, impact fees,
dedications of land, provision of public facilities, and future payments of user fees, special
assessments and taxes.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
The purpose of this Objective and its policies is to establish how providing public facilities in
accordance with Objective 1 above must be accomplished in a financially feasible manner. This
Objective is being achieved and should be retained as written.
Policy Relevance:
There are ten (10) policies within this Objective.
Policy 2.10:
Collier County will not exceed a maximum ratio of total general governmental debt service to
bondable revenues from current sources of 13 %. Whereas Florida Statutes place no limitation
on the application of revenues to debt service by local taxing authorities, prudent fiscal
management dictates a self- imposed level of constraint. Current bondable revenues are ad
valorem taxes and State- shared revenues, specifically gas taxes and the half -cent sales tax.
The Enterprise Funds operate under revenue bonding ratios set by the financial markets and
are, therefore, excluded from this debt policy.
This Policy identifies current bondable revenues and limits the ratio of total debt service to bondable 1-110�
revenues. This limitation may have lost relevance given the economic climate and government's

original adoption and based upon the direction given below the policy will not be modified.
[Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment om August 27 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting this
Policy remains relevant and the County should not consider adjusting its debt service ratio.]
OBJECTIVE 3 (PUBLIC EXPENDITURES: COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA):
Effective with plan implementation, limit public expenditures in the coastal high hazard area to
those facilities, as described in Policy 1.1 above, needed to support new development to the
extent permitted in the Future Land Use Element.
Obiective Achievement Analysis:
Like all other types of capital improvements, projects located in the Coastal High hazard Area are
included in the County's Annual Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements, and thus the County's
Annual Budget for each fiscal year. The above Objective contains an outdated timeframe reference,
but the wording is otherwise acceptable. This Objective should be reworded to remove the timeframe
reference and simply refer to the 5 -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements.
Policy Relevance:
There are three (3) policies within this Objective.
Policy 3.1:
The County shall continue to expend funds within the coastal high hazard area for the
replacement and maintenance VI pYY1i4 10�.i1i61c.7 iYwlN nGd on the. vv��.�e. .wawn Find Coastal
Management Element including, but not limited to arterial and collector roads, sanitary sewer
service - wastewater treatment systems, potable water supply systems, surface water —
stormwater management systems, solid waste collection and disposal systems, natural
groundwater aquifer recharge areas, and park and recreation facilities.
This Policy establishes the County's ability to replace and maintain public facilities in the coastal high
hazard area in accordance with the Conservation and Coastal Management Element. This Policy
remains relevant and should be retained except for changes associated with the renaming of certain
public facilities.
OBJECTIVE 4 (PROVIDE NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS):
Coordinate County land use planning and decisions with its plans for public facility capital
improvements, as described in Policy 1.1 above, by providing needed capital improvements for
replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities, eliminating existing deficiencies, and future
development and redevelopment caused by previously issued and new development orders.

Program shall occur annually thereafter. The adoption of the School District's Capital
Improvement Plan does not obligate the County in any shape, manner or form to provide
financing for any off -site capital improvements for new schools or the expansion of existing
schools unless mutually agreed upon by the Collier County School District and County Board.
This Policy provides for adopting by reference, the modifications made to the School District's Capital
Improvement Plan, into the Capital Improvement Element. This Policy remains relevant and should be
retained and updated as indicated below.

Objective: A more specific statement than the stated Goal; describing actions that will help
achieve the goal(s), typically beginning with the active verb providing the general direction, such
as, "Implement ", "Promote" or "Protect". Objectives use the term "will" and allow Policies to
specifically require an activity with "shall ".
Policies: Specific statements that provide directives on how to achieve the objectives and
ultimately the Element's goals, typically beginning with phrases like, "The County shall
promote... ", "The County shall continue to..." or "The District shall expand..." or similar
phrases. Policies use the terms "may" or "shall" to provide specific direction.

Brief Assessment of Successes & Shortcomings for the Transportation Element
A. Introduction & Background:
The purpose of the Transportation Element, as stated in its Goal, is "To plan for, develop and operate
a safe, efficient, and cost effective transportation system that provides for both the motorized and non-
motorized movement of people and goods throughout Collier County." In order to accomplish this goal,
the Transportation Element incorporates data and recommendations from the following reports, plans and
studies:
❖ Collier County Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO's) currently adopted Long Range
Transportation Plan 2030 Financially Feasible Plan and 2030 Needs Plan.
❖ MPO Urban Area Transportation Study.
❖ Collier County Transportation Work Program, FY 2010 — FY 2014.
❖ 2030 Traffic Circulation Map.
❖ Collier County Comprehensive Pathway Plan.
❖ Airport Master Plans for Immokalee Regional Airport, Everglades Airpark, and Marco Island
Executive Airport.
❖ Public Transportation Development Plan.
❖ Collier County Master Mobility Plan.
The Transportation Element is closely linked to the Future Land Use Element (FLUE). The land
development pattern, as outlined in the FLUE, necessitates improvements and expansion to the County's
transportation system. The two elements are so closely tied, in fact, that changes or shifts in land use
patterns can drastically impact the performance of the roadway system. It is for this reason that the
County requires most land development proposals (e.g., DRI, PUD, other rezone, and conditional use
requests) to submit a Traffic Impact Statement. An analysis of the proposal's impact is prepared and
submitted to the appropriate County review agencies.
As an alternative to this scenario of the transportation system reacting to new demands created by
changes to land development patterns, the County has begun to explore ways to allow the roadway system
to guide the patterns and densities of future land development. The County can determine the type of
roadway system it wishes to maintain at some adopted level of service and then can take steps to permit
only the types, intensities and location of land uses that will be consistent with that system. Through use
of this "checkbook concurrency" process, the County will be in a better position to keep the demand for
transportation services from outstripping the capacity of the roadway system.
n As part of the Transportation Element, the County has established minimum acceptable level of
service standards for the existing County Road system. For County facilities, the level of service standard
1
Transportation Element
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Hearing
to be maintained is either "13" or "E," as measured on a peak hour basis. Several State facilities have been
given a minimum LOS "E" standard. In order to prevent sudden unanticipated LOS failures, the County
has implemented a "real time" "checkbook accounting" concurrency management process.
B. Objectives Analysis:
As currently formatted, this Element consists entirely of a Goal (Goal 1), Objectives and Policies. As
part of the EAR -based amendments, formatting changes consisting of the addition of a brief introductory
statement for the Element and removal of the "1" from the Goal will transpire, so that it is simply the
Goal of the Element
C. Objectives:
Objective 1 - The County will maintain the major roadway system at an acceptable Level of
Service by implementing improvements as identified in the Annual Update and Inventory Report
(AUIR) or by working directly with other responsible jurisdictions to implement needed
improvements to their facilities.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective requires the County to adopt and maintain Level of Service (LOS)
standards for the County Roadway System, to annually review and adjust such standards, and to
coordinate County road improvements with the road improvement programs operated by
neighboring jurisdictions. The tasks included within this Objective are ongoing through
implementation of projects from the 5 -year work program as identified by the projected
deficiencies table included in Llle AUIR. The1efole, L1iiJ V �ecL1Ve W111 Ue 1eLa111UU aS W11tte11
Objective 2 - The County shall maintain the adopted Level of Service standard as provided for
in Policy 1.3 by making the improvements identified in the Five (5) Year Work Program.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
The County demonstrates its success in maintaining adopted Levels of Service through
data provided in the AUIR. This Objective also incorporates the County's Five -Year Work
Program into the Transportation Element. It has been left without a date reference so as to be
able to incorporate the Five -Year Work Program current at any time. This Objective will be
retained as currently written.
Objective 3 - The County shall provide for the protection and acquisition of existing and future
rights -of -way based upon improvement projects identified within the Five Year Work Program
and /or the Collier County Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO's) adopted Long -Range
Transportation Plan.
Obiective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective calls for the preservation of right -of -way for ongoing and future road
improvements. This Objective is sufficiently generic that it allows the County Transportation n
2
Transportation Element
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Hearing
n Division to protect and acquire rights -of -way as an ongoing program. This is pending
incorporation into the LDC. This Objective will be retained as currently written.
Policy 3.3 - The County shall acquire a sufficient amount of right -of -way to facilitate
arterial and collector roads of no less than a cross section of six (6) traffic lanes,
appropriate turn lanes, medians, bicycle and pedestrian features, drainage canals, a
shoulder sufficient for pull offs, and landscaping areas. Exceptions to the right -of -way
standard may be considered when it can be demonstrated, through a traffic capacity
analysis, that the maximum number of lanes at build -out will be less than the standard.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Through use of the LRTP and 5 -year work program roadway corridors necessary to
support the future needs are identified and programmed for funding. Utilization of the
LRTP helps to determine if a future ROW width of less than that required to support 6
lanes is an appropriate option. This policy will be retained as written. Since the horizon
year used in each update of the LRTP is not the expected build -out of Collier County,
staff recommends that this policy be retained and corridor width be reevaluated on a case
by case basis and not be based solely on the needs limited by the LRTP.
Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment om August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — replace "of no
less than a cross section of six (6) traffic lanes" with "as appropriate to meet the needs of the
LRTP ".
Policy 3.4 - Collier County shall acquire rights -of -way for transportation improvements in
fee simple, unless otherwise determined appropriate by the Board of County
Commissioners based upon a recommendation from the Transportation Administrator.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
This acquisition language doesn't just apply to lands we condemn or purchase, but also
needs to better apply to lands granted or gifted to us. The GMP needs to allow for public
access easements, rights -of -way, etc. that are granted without forcing these facilities to be
obtained in fee simple. Collier County recommends revising "acquire" to "purchase" and
recommends deletion of "based upon a recommendation from the Transportation
Administrator."
Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — remove
"based upon a recommendation from the Transportation Administrator" from the end of
the existing policy.

The County is working towards adoption of a Thoroughfare Corridor Protection Plan
(TCPP) ordinance and land development regulations. Suggestions include omitting the
"within one year" requirement, and simply state that the County is implementing a TCPP.
Collier County recommends revisions to this policy.
Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25 2010 EAR Workshop — The CCPC
would like a time frame for accomplishing the policy and not to leave it open ended.
Objective 4 - The County shall provide for the safe and convenient movement of pedestrians
and non - motorized vehicles through the implementation of the Collier County Comprehensive
Pathways Plan.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
The stated purpose of the County's Comprehensive Pathway Plan is to promote walking
and bicycling as integral components of Collier County's local, regional and state recreation and
transportation programs. That having been stated, the Program is responsible for maintaining
and extending the County's bike lanes, sidewalks, and recreational paths. The program has been
active for approximately ten (10) years, and relies on a Pathways Advisory Committee to make
recommendations as to potential projects, priorities and even Planned Unit Development
Applications. Additionally, the comprehensive pathways plan; which outlines goals, objectives
and policies, and prioritizes pathway projects, has undergone recent updates. This Objective
should be retained as written.
Policy 4.1 - The County shall incorporate the Collier County Comprehensive Pathways
Plan into this Transportation Element by reference and shall periodically update the
Pathways Plan as needed.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remains to be modified
as suggested by the CCPC below.
The County has incorporated the Collier County Comprehensive Pathways Plan into this
Transportation Element by reference and shall periodically update the Pathways Plan as
needed.
Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25 2010 EAR Workshop - Replace

funds and provide local funds for the implementation of the 5 Year Pathways Work
Program.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text to be modified as
suggested by the CCPC below.
The County shall, to the greatest extent possible, identify state and federal funds and
provide local funds for the implementation of the 5 Year Pathways Work Program.
Collier County Transportation Planning secures millions of dollars in funding every year
from agencies as identified in this policy.
Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop_— Remove "to
the greatest extent possible "from the policy.
Policy 4.6 - The County shall work to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled and Greenhouse
Gas Emission by providing for the safe movement of non - motorized vehicles through
implementation of its Land Development Code and highway design standards
ordinances and shall incorporate bike lanes, sidewalks and pathways, as deemed
appropriate, in new construction and reconstruction of roadways.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The County provides for the safe movement of non - motorized vehicles through
ililplcrricilLaLlvll of iLa T L a-lu A llevelopmenl Coin and highway d esign standards oruiilailces
and incorporates bike lanes, sidewalks and pathways, as deemed appropriate, in all new
construction and reconstruction of roadways. Staff recommends that this policy be
modified to include consideration of HB697.
Objective 5 - The County shall coordinate the Transportation System development process with
the Future Land Use Map.
Obiective Achievement Analysis:
Collier County Comprehensive Planning staff regularly coordinates with Transportation
Planning staff on transportation considerations related to proposed GMP Amendments. The two
staffs work together annually with regard to the County's Annual Update & Inventory Reports
(AUIRs). During the past three years, the staffs have worked together on the amendments
establishing the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District of the FLUE, the update of the Golden Gate
Area Master Plan, the update of the Immokalee Area Master Plan (ongoing), the proposed
extension of Wilson Boulevard into the Rural Fringe Area, and the establishment of the County's
checkbook concurrency provisions. The County has acted consistent with this Objective.
Therefore, the Objective should be retained as written.
Policy 5.1 - The County Commission shall review all rezone petitions, SRA designation
applications, conditional use petitions, and proposed amendments to the Future Land
5
Transportation Element
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Hearing
Use Element (FLUE) affecting the overall countywide density or intensity of permissible /'N,
development, with consideration of their impact on the overall County transportation
system, and shall not approve any petition or application that would directly access a
deficient roadway segment or if it impacts an adjacent roadway segment that is deficient,
or which significantly impacts a roadway segment or adjacent roadway segment that is
currently operating and /or is projected to operate below an adopted Level of Service
Standard within the five year planning period, unless specific mitigating stipulations are
also approved.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Additional language that clarifies "significantly impacted road segment" in regards to the
County adopted 2 %- 2 % -3 %, and which clarifies "deficient" should be added to this
policy. It is also recommend that language establishing what "mitigation" is, and
specifically how it should be applied (in measurable terms) be added. It should also detail
what happens when mitigation allows a project to be "consisterii" with this policy. Collier
County recommends revisions.
Policy 5.3 - In order to determine vesting, where desired, all previously approved
projects must go through a vesting review pursuant to Subsection 10.02.07.6.6, of the
Land Development Code.
Policy Achievement Analysis: 110�
Policy 5.3 requires the County to conduct a Traffic Impact Vesting Affirmation Review
to determine which developments are vested for concurrency, the schedule of when these
developments will be built and the magnitude of traffic that will be generated by these
developments. This review was completed, and information from the review was used to
provide background data and analysis relative to the County's Transportation
Concurrency Management Area and Concurrency Exception Area amendments. Collier
County recommends revisions. Consider allowing the County the ability to provide
vesting determinations on projects that are under review and that are beyond the build -out
date stated in their TIS.
Policy 5.4 - Pursuant to Rule 9J- 5.0055(6)(a)3., Florida Administrative Code and the
Urban Infill and Urban Redevelopment Strategy contained in the Future Land Use
Element of this Plan, the South U.S. 41 Transportation Concurrency Exception Area
(TCEA) is hereby designated. Development located within the South U.S. 41 TCEA
(MapTR -4) may be exempt from transportation concurrency requirements, so long as
impacts to the transportation system are mitigated using the set procedures.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Pursuant to Rule 9J- 5.0055(6)(a)3., Florida Administrative Code and the Urban Infill and
Urban Redevelopment Strategy contained in the Future Land Use Element of this Plan,

Transportation Element
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Hearing
development located within the South U.S. 41 TCEA (MapTR -4) may be exempt from
transportation concurrency requirements, so long as impacts to the transportation system
are mitigated using the set procedures. Staff recommends that this policy be modified to
include language outlining consistency of mitigation with Policy 5.5, HB697, and SB360.
Policy 5.5 - Commercial developments within the South U.S. 41 TCEA that choose to
obtain an exception from concurrency requirements for transportation will provide
certification from the Transportation Planning Department that at least four
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies will be utilized.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Collier County recommends revisions - Commercial developments within the South U.S.
41 TCEA that choose to obtain an exception from concurrency requirements for
transportation must provide certification to the Transportation Planning Department that
at least four Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies will be utilized.
Monitoring of the use of the TDM strategies must be included in the annual monitoring
report and modifications to the applied TDM strategies may be made within the first three
years of development if they are deemed ineffective. Staff recommends that this policy be
modified to include language outlining consistency of mitigation with HB697 and SB360.
Policy 5.6 - The County shall designate Transportation Concurrency Management
Areas (TCMAs) to encourage compact urban development where an integrated and
coiiiic%tcu iiewvui n of roads is iii place that provide multiple, viable alternative 'travel
paths or modes for common trips. Performance within each TCMA shall be measured
based on the percentage of lane miles meeting the LOS described in this Transportation
Element, Policies 1.3 and 1.4 of this Element. The following Transportation Concurrency
Management Areas are designated: Northwest TCMA — This area is bounded by the
Collier - Lee County Line on the north side; the west side of the 1 -75 right -of -way on the
east side; Pine Ridge Road on the south side; and, the Gulf of Mexico on the west side
(Map TR -5). East Central TCMA — This area is bounded by Pine Ridge Road on the
north side; Collier Boulevard on the east side; Davis Boulevard on the south side, and;
Livingston Road (extended) on the west side (Map TR -6).
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Collier County recommends revisions - Commercial developments within the TCMA
must provide certification to the Transportation Planning Department that at least four
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies will be utilized. Monitoring of
the use of the TDM strategies must be included in the annual monitoring report and
modifications to the applied TDM strategies may be made within the first three years of
development if they are deemed ineffective. Staff recommends that this policy be
modified to include language outlining consistency of mitigation with Policy 5.5, HB697,
.--� and SB360.

Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Hearing
Policy 5.8 - Should the TIS for a proposed development reflect that it will impact either a
constrained roadway link and /or a deficient roadway link within a TCMA by more than a
de minimis amount (more than 1% of the maximum service volume at the adopted LOS),
yet continue to maintain the established percentage of lanes miles indicated in Policy 5.7
of this Element, a congestion mitigation payment shall be required
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Collier County recommends revisions - these needs to refer to an annually updated map that
defines what the County's recognized hurricane evacuation links are, so the failing ones can be
identified. That map MUST be directly related to the AUIR to make this effective. Congestion
Mitigation Payment needs to be defined much more clearly.
(NEW) Policy 5.9 - Local governments shall adopt by December 1, 2006 a method for
assessing proportionate fair -share mitigation options.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Collier County recommends deleting this policy - this has been completed and follows
the model developed by FDOT as required by December 1, 2005. The process is clearly
outlined in the County's TIS guidelines.
Objective 6 -The County shall coordinate the transportation element with the plans and
programs of the state, region, and other local jurisdictions.
Ob-
�ivAchievement Analysis:
This Objective requires the Collier County Transportation Division to coordinate with the
transportation programs of other governmental entities. Collier County Transportation staff
coordinates with transportation planning and improvement programs implemented by
municipalities, neighboring counties, the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council, the
Florida Department of Transportation, and the Federal Highway Administration, and will
continue to do so. This Objective will be retained as written.
Policy 6.3 - The Transportation Element shall be consistent in its interface into the
arterial /collector system within the City of Naples, Everglades City and the City of Marco
Island.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Policy 6.3 requires the County to "be consistent in its interface into the arterial /collector system
within the City of Naples and the City of Marco Island." The Policy has to do with establishing
and maintaining connections between County and City roads. However, the original intent of this
Policy is unclear. For instance, it could apply to the roadway connections themselves, or it could
apply to administrative policies or guidelines. The EAR -based amendments should include
modification of this policy for clarity.

Transportation Element
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Hearing
Policy 6.5 - The Collier County MPO's adopted Long Range Plan has identified a need
for an interchange at 1 -75 and Golden Gate Parkway and a grade separated overpass at
Airport Pulling Road and Golden Gate Parkway. The above projects are now in the MPO
Transportation Improvement Program along with the six- laning of Golden Gate Parkway.
The County shall insure that the three projects mentioned above will be fully coordinated
in timing and design.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The projects listed in this policy have been completed and renders this policy obsolete. Collier
County recommends revision of the projects listed to include; I- 75/Everglades Interchange; US-
41/SR-CR951 grade separated overpass; and Randall/Immokalee grade separated overpass.
Objective 7 - The County shall develop and adopt standards for safe and efficient ingress and
egress to adjpining properties, and shall encourage safe and convenient on -site traffic
circulation through the development review process.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective requires the County to develop and adopt standards for onsite and external
traffic circulation as part of the development review process. The County has adopted such
standards and they are applied to rezoning applications and site development permitting for all
proposed development within Collier County. This Objective will be retained as written.
Policy 7.3 - The County shall implement, through its Zoning Ordinance, the provision of
safe and convenient onsite traffic flow and the need for adequate parking for both
motorized and non - motorized vehicles as a primary objective in the review of Planned
Unit Developments, Site Development Plans, and other appropriate stages of review in
the land development application review process.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Policy 7.3 requires the County to implement "the provision of safe and convenient on -site
traffic flow and the need for adequate parking for motorized and non - motorized vehicles
as a primary objective in the review for Planned Unit Developments, Site Development
Plans, and other appropriate stages of review in the land development applications
process." Such provisions have been adopted through the County's Zoning Code and are
periodically reviewed and updated consistent with established transportation planning
criteria. This Policy should be revised to include coordination with County Engineering
staff where traffic circulation is outside of the limits of the public ROW.
Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment °om Au ust 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Replace the
word "shall" with "may" at the beginning of the policy.
Policy 7.4 - The County shall develop corridor management plans that take into
consideration urban design and landscaping measures that will promote positive
development along the major arterial entrances to the urban area. Such plans shall take
Transportation Element
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Hearing
into account the recommendations of the Community Character Plan, County- sponsored
Smart Growth initiatives, and the impacts of the South US 41 Transportation
Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) and the two (2) Transportation Concurrency
Management Areas (TCMAs) as the Board of County Commissioners may periodically
appropriate funding for these plans.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Policy 7.4 requires the County to develop Corridor Management Plans for certain
roadways. There is a similar requirement within the Future Land Use Element (see
Section 1.5.11 of this report). The FLUE provision lists corridors that could be subject to
such plans. Collier County recommends amending this to underline the importance of the
`smart growth' portion of the policy (i.e. direct the County to adopt and implement smart
growth policies). Also to require that any developments that are approved must meet
smart growth objectives. Suggest coming up with a list of them, similar to the TDM
strategies above.
Policy 7.5 - The County shall develop Corridor Access Management Plans. Such plans
shall be designed to make median modifications and other operational improvements,
including removal of traffic signals, necessary to recapture lost capacity and enhance
safety. The development of such plans shall consider the impacts of the South US 41
Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) and the two (2) Transportation
Concurrency Management Areas (TCMAs), as may be appropriate. n
Policy 1:11ICVClue1ll tillAlyslS:
Policy 7.5 requires the development of Corridor Access Management Plans. Such a plan
has been implemented. An EAR -based amendment should include modification of this
Policy by changing the first sentence to read "The County has developed and shall
continue to effectively implement a Corridor Access Management Policy."
Objective 8 - The County shall establish and maintain a "Concurrency Management System"
for the scheduling, funding, and timely construction of necessary road facilities.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
Sections 2.2 through 2.4 of this report review issues related to Transportation Concurrency
Management. Prior to 2003, County staff reviewed all PUD and DRI Applications for compliance with
transportation concurrency provisions. As part of the review process, proposed projects were assessed for
their transportation impacts and mitigation requirements were assigned to these projects on a case -by -case
basis. This system was adequate for evaluating individual projects but did not adequately assess the
combined impact of all development on the County's road system.
During 2003, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a "checkbook concurrency system."
This system examines the total trip capacity available for new development and includes provisions
relative to vested traffic. As part of the process of establishing the checkbook concurrency system, the
County has recently adopted amendments to the Transportation Element, Future Land Use Element and
10
Transportation Element
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Hearing
Capital Improvement Element that establish two Transportation Concurrency Management Areas
(TCMAs) and a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA). This Objective will be retained as
written.
Objective 9 - The County shall encourage neighborhood involvement in the establishment and
maintenance of safe and pleasant conditions for the residents, pedestrians, bicyclists and
motorists on neighborhood streets, which are not classified as arterials or collectors through the
implementation of the Collier County Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP). In
developing strategies and measures to encourage such conditions, the NTMP shall consider the
impact of such strategies and measures on the adjacent arterial and collector systems (from a
level -of- service and operational standpoint).
Obiective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective was adopted in November 2002. It essentially established a program of
neighborhood traffic calming measures that can be implemented by a public petition process
(from affected residents to the Board of County Commissioners). It has successfully slowed
traffic in certain portions of the County where neighborhood streets were being used as "cut -
throughs" between two major roadways. This Objective will be retained as written.
Policy 9.3 - The County shall require, wherever feasible, the interconnection of local
streets between developments to facilitate convenient movement throughout the road
network. The Collier County Transportation Division shall develop guidelines, which
identify the conditions that would require the interconnection of two neighboring
developments, and shall also develop standards and criteria for the safe interconnection
of such local streets.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
This Policy needs to better define the term "feasible ". Also, policies in Objective 7of the
GMP, not including the Transportation Element, addresses interconnection and should be
defined in relation to Policy 9.3.
Objective 10 - The County shall encourage safe and efficient mobility for the rural public.
Obiective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective is a catchall for County transportation programs that operate within
Collier County's rural areas. As such the Objective is intended to cover policies that deal with a
range of different transportation tasks. Staff recommends that this Objective be revised to read
"The County shall encourage safe and efficient mobility for the rural public that remains
consistent with the character of the rural areas of Collier County ".

Transportation Element
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Hearing
Objective 11 - The County shall maintain County owned airport facilities as attractive, efficient, ^.
safe, and environmentally compatible facilities, consistent with the approved Airport Master Plan
for each Airport.
Obiective Achievement Analysis:
Collier County owns and operates three (3) airports: Immokalee Regional Airport, in
Immokalee; Everglades Airpark, in Everglades City; and Marco Island Executive Airport,
located three miles north of the City of Marco Island in southwestern Collier County. Each of
the airports is required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to prepare and periodically
update an Airport Master Plan that details facility needs and proposed expansions or changes for
each airport. The purpose of the above Objective is to incorporate (by reference) these Airport
Master Plans into the Transportation Element. This Objective will be retained as written.
Policy 11.2 - The Collier County Airport Authority shall determine the most cost effective
and efficient means for implementing future facility plans outlined within the airport
master plans.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Policy 11.2 gives the Collier County Airport Authority responsibility for future facility
planning, consistent with the Airport Master Plans. Staff recommends that this policy be
revised to require the BOCC review and approve the requested Airport Authority Master
Plan.
Planning Commiyvinn WCPQ Comment drum Ailaust 25, 2070 FAR Workshop— Replace
"Collier County Airport Authority" with "Collier County Board of County Commissioners".
The Airport Authority only makes recommendations to the Board.
Policy 11.3 - The Collier County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) has
assisted Everglades City in obtaining Federal funds to enable the City to maintain and
operate the Everglades Air Park. Given the assistance provided to Everglades City by
the MPO, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners shall coordinate with the
Everglades City Council to ensure a safe and orderly transfer of the Everglades Airpark
and all related facilities to Everglades City for use as a public airport only. Such transfer
shall be in a manner that does not compromise the safety of the Airpark and the future
facility plans authorized by the Everglades Airpark Master Plan. In the event the Airpark
ceases operation or ceases to operate as a public Airpark, the Airpark property will
revert back to Collier County. Conditions of a transfer and reverter provisions will be set
forth in a transfer document or the deed for transfer.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remains due to transfer
of Everglades Airpark has not transpired, but discussions between the County and
Everglades City is still in- progress.
12
Transportation Element
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Hearing
Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — The CCPC
would like staff to check on the status of the transfer and the results will dictate how the policy is
modified.
Objective 12 - The County shall encourage the efficient use of transit services now and in the
future.
Obiective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective is the location for all policies related to planning, operation, coordination
and expansion of the Collier Area Transit (CAT) System. The CAT System is administered
through the County's Traffic Operations & Alternative Transportation Modes Department with
the aid of other Departments within the County's Transportation Administration (see the policies
below). The CAT System began operation in February 2001 and in its first twelve months of
service, provided over 211,000 passenger trips. Ridership has grown since that time. Therefore,
this Objective will be retained as written.
Policy 12.8 - Any adopted transit development plan shall include an acceptable level of
service standard for transit facilities.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Policy 12.8 requires the transit development plan to include "an acceptable level of
service standard for transit facilities." The adopted plan does include several such levels
of service standards, to be used as indicators of the effectiveness and efficiency of the
County Transit System. Additionally, staff notes that Section 163.3180 (4) (b), Florida
Statutes, was amended in 2001 to exempt transit systems from concurrency. Therefore,
staff recommends that the EAR -based amendments include deletion of this Policy.
Objective 13 - The County shall evaluate the creation of a separate Transit Element in the
Growth Management Plan.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This proposed new Objective shall evaluate and take into consideration the expansion of
multi -modal transportation systems. This objective shall create a set of policies that are
consistent with increased use of alternative modes of transportation, appropriate mitigation for
development creating significant impacts to the transportation network, and full consistency with
the goals and objectives of HB697.
Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Develop a
policy that states the County shall develop a Mobility Element to the GMP based upon the
conclusion of the Master Mobility Plan to give alternative means of transportation an equal
footing within the GMP.

SANITARY SEWER SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
n
Assessment of the Successes & Shortcomings
and Recommendations
for the Public Facilities Element — Sanitary Sewer Sub - Element
A. Introduction & Background:
The purpose of the Sanitary Sewer Sub - Element is defined within its single Goal, which reads as
follows:
TO PROTECT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC BY ENSURING ACCESS TO
ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND, COST EFFECTIVE AND IMPLEMENTABLE SANITARY SEWER
FACILITIES AND SERVICES.
The intent of the Sanitary Sewer Sub - Element is to assure the provision of efficient and economical
services that would enable the citizens of Collier County to meet their needs for wastewater
management while also assuring public health and safety in accordance with the criteria set forth in
Rule 9J -5, F.A.C., and Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. The provision of public facilities and services for
wastewater treatment is planned in correlation with future land use projections.
The annual update and amendment to the Capital Improvement Element, adopted January 28, 2008
included the initial step toward re- naming of this Sub - Element from the "Sanitary Sewer" Sub - Element
to the "Wastewater Treatment" Sub - Element. The new name should be used in all titles, headings
and text within this Sub - Element, and in all references to this Sub - Element found throughout the
Growth Management Plan.
As currently formatted, this Sub - Element consists entirely of a single Goal, and its supporting
Objectives and Policies. As part of the EAR -based amendments, Comprehensive Planning staff is
recommending specific formatting changes for the Sub - Element. In addition, the Sub - Element
contains a number of references to the County's Water & Sewer District. The District's official name
is the "Collier County Water -Sewer District ", and the Sub - Element text needs to reflect this.
B. Objectives Analysis:
OBJECTIVE 1:
The County will implement the following policies to make certain that public and private sector
sanitary sewer service utilities provide, repair and /or replace sanitary sewer collection,
treatment and disposal facilities to correct existing deficiencies in their respective service
areas, as may be required to meet or exceed the Level of Service Standards established in this
Plan. In addition, public sector sanitary sewer service utilities will be expanded as necessary
to provide for future growth.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective concerns both private and public utilities. Collier County's private water and
wastewater utilities are regulated through the Utility /Franchise Regulation Section of the Community
n Development & Environmental Services (ODES) Operations Department. This agency serves as staff
for the Collier County Water and Wastewater Authority. The Utility /Franchise Regulation Section is
I
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SANITARYSEWER SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
the County entity responsible for monitoring compliance with County regulations by private utilities.
In addition to managing the operations of the Department and Section, the CDES Operations Director
is also the Executive Director for the Water and Wastewater Authority.
In regulating the operations of the County's private utilities the Authority, which is appointed by the
Board of County Commissioners, exercises considerable power. They may set rates, adjust franchise
boundaries, set quality of service standards and intervene in disputes between utilities and customers.
The publicly owned (as opposed to privately- owned) wastewater collection system is operated by
Collier County through the Collier County Water -Sewer District. The District is responsible for
developing, operating and maintaining the County 's public facilities related to wastewater treatment
and collection.
Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written.
This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective" and specific references
to County Departments and Sections should reflect CDES' recent reorganization, including the
Operations and Regulatory Management Department [and Director], of the Growth Management
Division.
Policy Relevance:
There are seven (7) policies within this Objective.
Policy 1.1:
Continue the development of the Collier County Water -Sewer District consistent with the
Capital Improvements Element to provide for future growth.
This Policy calls for the continuing development of the County's Water -Sewer District. This Policy
remains relevant and should be rewritten not to be utility specific, but to mention those jurisdictions,
generally, that have a wastewater treatment or sewer district or service to develop consistent with the
GMP.
Policy 1.3:
The Collier County Water and Wastewater Authority (Authority), established by County
Ordinance Number 96 -6, regulates the operations of private sector wastewater treatment
utilities that provide sanitary sewer services to portions of unincorporated Collier County. All
such private sector sanitary sewer service providers are required to meet the County's
adopted wastewater treatment Level of Service (LOS). All private sector sanitary sewer service
providers shall file an annual statement with the Authority that provides current operating
information including, but not limited to: a statement of current policies and service criteria,
the LOS maintained by the service provider and whether such level of service meets the
County's LOS Standard for wastewater treatment. The annual report shall also document any
necessary or projected facility expansion and /or replacement projects that are required to
correct observed deficiencies.
This Policy requires, to the extent of County authority, private wastewater treatment utilities to report
current operating information and proposed system expansions or modifications to the County,
including a statement as to how the proposed activity is consistent with the County's Growth
Management Plan. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written.

PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SANITARYSEWER SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
[Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that
n meeting these requirements should come at no cost to the County. The CCPC also suggests
considering a combination of 1-year reporting, and 5-year reviewing, requirements.]
Policy 1.4:
For any new structure in which plumbing fixtures are to be installed and which is proposed to
be connected to a private sector sanitary sewer service utility, the developer is required to
provide a letter of adequate capacity from that private utility to the Collier County Building
Review and Permitting Department at the time of application for the first building permit,
pursuant to Collier County Ordinance Number 80 -112.
This Policy requires developers intending to connect to private wastewater treatment or sanitary sewer
facilities to demonstrate such facilities will provide them with adequate capacity. This Policy remains
relevant and should be retained as written.
Policy 1.5:
Collier County shall permit development of package sewage treatment plant systems in areas
identified in Policy 1.2, on an interim basis until County service is available. The County shall
allow individual septic systems within the County only when connection to an existing central
system is not within 200 lineal feet of the closest property line. In portions of the County
where septic systems are allowed, at such time as County or other central sewer service
becomes available within 200 lineal feet of the property line, said septic systems will be
required to connect to the appropriate central sanitary sewer system.
Within the Rural Lands Stewardship Overlay, consistent with Policy 1.2: septic systems are
permitted within Hamlets; septic systems may or may not be permitted in Compact Rural
Developments one hundred (100) acres or less in size depending upon the permitted uses in
the Compact Rural Development; and, septic systems are not permitted in Towns, Villages,
and those Compact Rural Developments greater than one hundred (100) acres in size.
However, in Towns, Villages, and those Compact Rural Developments greater than one
hundred (100) acres in size, septic systems are allowed to serve no more than 100 acres, on an
interim basis only, until central service is available.
This Policy allows development of new or expanded wastewater treatment and sanitary sewer systems
in certain portions of unincorporated Collier County on an interim basis. It also allows the use of
individual septic systems in areas where County or other central wastewater treatment service is
unavailable. This Policy remains relevant but should be revised to replace "until County water service
is available" with "until a centralized wastewater treatment system service is available". This
includes mapping changes and new map information derived from the private, or smaller, providers or
districts.
Policy 1.7:
Where Community Development Districts, or similar special districts are established to provide
a tool for developers to finance infrastructure or other purposes, wholly or partially within the
Collier County Water -Sewer District, sewer service shall be connected to the regional system,
and all facilities shall be conveyed, when acceptable, to the Collier County Water -Sewer
District for operation and ownership in accordance with Collier County Ordinance Number 01-
57, adopted October 23, 2001, and District construction and operating policies.

PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SANITARYSEWER SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
This Policy requires Community Development Districts, or other special infrastructure districts, to
connect to the County Utility System when they are located within the Collier County Water -Sewer
District Service Area, and remains relevant. An Ordinance cite is outdated and this Policy should be
revised to replace "Ordinance Number 01 -57, adopted October 23, 2001 " with "Ordinance Number
04 -31, adopted May 11, 2004 ".
OBJECTIVE 2:
No development order shall be issued by Collier County without sanitary sewer facility
capacity that meets or exceeds the minimum Level of Service Standards established herein is
available or will be available to serve the development under the guidelines established for
concurrency in the Capital Improvement Element of this Plan.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective is the County's concurrency provision for wastewater treatment capacity. The Collier
County Water -Sewer District achieves concurrency of its stated LOS standard. The disclosure of this
achievement is reported within the periodic updates of the County's Wz[stewater Master Plan. This
Objective is being achieved and should be retained, only if rewritten. This Objective should be
reformatted to separate the portion that reads as an "objective" from the portion that reads as a "policy"
into the individual "Objective 2" and Policy "2.0.1 ".
Policy Relevance:
There are four (4) policies within this Objective.
Policy 2.1:
The following Level of Sel—Vice (LOS% standards are hereby adopted and shall be used as the
basis for determining the availability of facility capacity and the demand generated by a
development:

n Private Sector Systems *
* The standards hereby adopted are the sewage flow design standards in Chapter 64E -6008,
Florida Administrative Code, unless otherwise approved by the Board of County
Commissioners to address economic, social and construction method variations between
individual systems.
This Policy establishes Level of Service (LOS) standards for various Collier County wastewater
treatment facilities, both public and private. This Policy should be revised to update the Level of
Service Standards, as the Collier County Facilities North Sewer Service Area LOSS is now 120 gpcd.
The Policy should be revised to indicate the LOS standard for Ave Maria Water and Wastewater
facilities, which are inside the County.
The LOSS for wastewater treatment appearing in Policy 2.1 above is one of two locations within this
GMP where these standards are shown. The other location is Policy 1.5, subsection "E" in the Capital
Improvement Element. This dualism may be a simple matter of unnecessary redundancy, except that
the two Policies are not the same. These differences should be reconciled and a single location
selected for these LOSS to appear. If it is decided to show the LOSS in both locations, then the CIE
could be formatted to provide the LOS Standards, while the Sub - Element entries could elaborate on the
figures. This Policy will remain relevant in its reconciled format.
[Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Supporting staff
suggestion to locate Level of Service Standards in the CIE, with this Sub - Element being revised to
direct readers to the CIE for this information. j
Policy 2.4:
The County shall annually review historical sanitary sewer demand records and adjust the LOS
standards, as referenced in Policy 2.1, if so indicated by said annual review.
This Policy remains relevant and requires an annual review of wastewater treatment demand records,
with adjustment of the LOS Standards, as necessary, based upon the findings of the annual review.
This Policy should be revised to replace "County" with "Collier County Water and Wastewater
Authority", and add a second sentence, such as, "The Collier County Water -Sewer District shall
review historical sanitary sewer demand records during Collier County Wastewater Master Plan
updates and adjust the LOS standards, as referenced in Policy 2.1, if needed " and retained as
rewritten.
OBJECTIVE 3:
The County will continue to ensure utilization of environmentally sound and economically
beneficial methods for disposal of treated sludge and septage, and shall also ensure that such
practices are followed by private utilities regulated by the County.
5
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SANITARYSEWER SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Objective Achievement Anal
This Objective ensures the County will employ appropriate sludge and septage disposal practices
involving both public and private services. This Objective is being achieved and as such, it should be
retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an
"objective ".
Policy Relevance:
Policy 3.1:
The County shall maintain sludge de- watering and stabilization facilities for use by County
wastewater treatment operations to produce sludge de watered and stabilized to a degree
suitable for use as cover material for County landfills or to be used for any suitable manner
that is permitted by law. The County shall ensure that private wastewater utilities regulated by
the County follow such practices.
This Policy remains relevant and requires sludge de- watering and stabilization facilities to be included
in all County wastewater treatment plants. The facilities are required to produce sludge de= watered
and stabilized to a degree suitable to enable its use as cover material for County landfills or to be used
for any suitable manner that is permitted by law. The stabilization facilities at the North County Water
Reclamation Facility were abandoned in 1999 due to odor concerns. The County currently hauls
biosolids to a sanitary landfill on an interim basis until biosolid stabilization facilities can be obtained
to meet FAC Chapter 62 -640 and USEPA 40 CFR Part 503. This Policy should be retained as written.
As part of the EAR -based amendments, the County proposes a new Policy requiring private sludge and
septage to be treated prior to its disposal to a degree equivalent to that employed at the County
facilities.
OBJECTIVE 4:
The County will continue to promote the use of treated
purposes in order to provide an environmentally sound
potable water and groundwater supplies by developing
comprehensive strategy for the following Policies.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
wastewater effluent for irrigation
disposal method and to conserve
and implementing an integrated,
This Objective is being achieved and commits the County to promoting the use of reclaimed water as
an irrigation source for suitable properties. This language is similar to language contained in Objective
1.4 of the Potable Water Sub - Element (refer to the Potable Water Section of this Report). The County
has an active reclaimed water irrigation program. Therefore staff recommends retention of this
Objective, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an
"objective ".
Policy Relevance:
There are seven (7) policies within this Objective. The Objective and policies are similar to Objective
4 and its policies within the Potable Water Sub - Element (refer to the Potable Water Section of this
Report).

1110_�
Policy 4.7:
The County shall seek to expand the availability of irrigation water from supplemental sources
through connection of such sources to the County's reclaimed water system.
This Policy remains relevant and requires that dual water systems within Community Development
Districts, other special districts, and Planned Unit Developments be connected to the Regional
(County) system, at such time as the system is available for such connection. This Policy should be
deleted or rewritten to not be utility specific.
OBJECTIVE 5:
The County will discourage urban sprawl and the proliferation of private sector sanitary sewer
service suppliers in an effort to maximize the use of existing public facilities through the
development order approval process by implementing the following policies.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective is being achieved and seeks to discourage urban sprawl through maximization of
existing public wastewater treatment utilities. Further, the Objective states that this action will be
achieved through the local development review process. The Public Utilities Engineering Department
coordinates with the Zoning & Land Development Review Department in the review of development
order applications to ensure that the requirements of this Objective are met. Therefore, this Objective
should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its
formatting as an "objective ".
Consideration should be given to revisions that recognize the importance of reducing GHG emissions
in f _,- rherance of HB 697.
Policy Relevance:
There are three (3) policies within this Objective. The Objective and policies are similar to Objective 5
and its policies within the Potable Water Sub - Element (refer to the Potable Water Section of this
Report).
Policy 5.3:
As provided for in the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay, and in Policy 1.2, central sewer
facilities are permitted in Towns, Villages, Hamlets, and Compact Rural Developments.
Though not anticipated, it is possible that central sanitary sewer collection lines may extend
through lands not designated as a Town, Village, Hamlet or Compact Rural Development; no
properties designated other than as a Town, Village, Hamlet or Compact Rural Development
are permitted to connect to these collection lines. Under criteria, properties may be eligible for
central sanitary sewer service from Collier County Utilities, or a private sector utility or
independent district, within the Receiving Areas identified in the Rural Transition Water and
Sewer District, depicted on the Existing and Future Sewer Service Areas map (Figure SS -2) of
the Sanitary Sewer Sub - element, subject to availability. Qualifying criteria shall be limited to
the requirements and incentives established in the Future Land Use and Conservation and
Coastal Management Elements of this Plan to obtain preservation standards established for
n environmentally sensitive lands in the Sending Areas of the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District.
Criteria for central sanitary sewer service eligibility may include, but are not limited to, plans
7
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SANITARYSEWER SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
for development which utilize creative planning techniques such as clustering, density
blending, rural villages, and TDRs from identified environmentally sensitive areas. Criteria for
eligibility may be amended and additional Sending and Receiving Lands may be designated in
the future. Central Sanitary Sewer collection lines, within the Rural Transition Water and
Sewer District, may extend through Sending Lands; however, no properties designated as
Sending Lands may connect to the collection lines.
This Policy remains relevant and contains the conditions for connection of development within the
RLSA and the Rural Fringe to a central sanitary sewer system. Specifically, the Policy states that "no
properties designated other than as a Town, Village, Hamlet or Compact Rural Development" (within
the RLSA) are permitted to connect to a central sanitary sewer system. The Policy also states
conditions for connections within the Rural Transition Water & Sewer District (i.e., the County's Rural
Fringe Mixed Use District). This Policy should be revised to replace "Collier County Utilities" in the
third sentence with "Collier County Water -Sewer District".
CONSIDER INTRODUCING A NEW OBJECTIVE AND SUBSEQUENT POLICY OR
POLICIES FOLLOWING FROM THE 2009 ADOPTION OF HB 697.
[Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting the County should study
ideas to target GHG sources — beside transportation, to address a lack of energy efficient plans, to
address the need to plan for sea level rise.]
[Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the
amount of change introduced with Objectives and Policies following from the adoption of HB 697may
be misplaced and consideration for any such change may serve better if consolidated to address
multiple Elements or Sub - Elements at another location , and should be removed from the/ as a
proposed revision.]

Assessment of the Successes & Shortcomings
and Recommendations
for the Public Facilities Element — Potable Water Sub - Element
A. Introduction & Background:
The purpose of the Potable Water Sub - Element is defined within its single Goal, which reads as
follows:
TO PROTECT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC BY ENSURING ACCESS TO
ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND, COST EFFECTIVE AND IMPLEMENTABLE POTABLE WATER
FACILITIES AND SERVICES.
The intent of the Potable Water Sub - Element is to assure the provision of efficient and economical
services that would enable the citizens of Collier County to meet their needs for a potable water supply
while also assuring public health and safety in accordance with the criteria set forth in Rule 9J -5,
F.A.C., and Chapter 163, Florida Statutes.
The provision of public facilities and services for potable water supply, stormwater management,
floodplain management and flood protection, and aquifer recharge area protection and watershed
management are planned in correlation with future land use projections. This Goal should be
expanded to fully capture the County's goals in these areas and ensure collaboration in implementing
Objectives and applying Policies. These interdepartmental colaborations should also be recognized,
and strengthend if necessary, in the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME) and
Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) of this Growth Management Plan.
As currently formatted, this Sub - Element consists entirely of a single Goal, and its supporting
Objectives and Policies. As part of the EAR -based amendments, Comprehensive Planning staff is
recommending specific formatting changes for the Sub - Element. In addition, the Sub - Element
contains a number of references to the County's Water & Sewer District. The District's official name
is the "Collier County Water -Sewer District," and the Sub - Element text needs to reflect this.
B. Objectives Analysis:
OBJECTIVE 1:
The County will locate and develop potable water supply sources to meet the future needs of
the County owned and operated systems, said supply sources meeting — the minimum Level
of Service Standards established by this Plan. The development and utilization of new potable
water supply sources and the acquisition of land necessary for such development shall be
based upon the information, guidelines and procedures identified within the County's Ten -Year
Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (as updated annually), the Collier County Water -Sewer
Master Plan, and the Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan prepared by the South Florida
Water Management District.
Obiective Achievement Analysis:
1
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— POTABLE WATER SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Section 3.2 of this EAR contains an analysis of the Collier County Growth Management Plan,
including the Potable Water Sub - Element, relative to compliance with the South Florida Water
Management District's (SFWMD s) Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan. Additionally, the staff of the
Collier County Public Utilities Division has prepared a Ten -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan.
This Work Plan is to be transmitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs at the conclusion
of the SFWMD s update of the Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan. Along with the Work Plan,
County staff' will be transmitting related amendments to the Potable Water Sub - Element and the
Capital Improvement Element.
Both the Work Plan and the Sub - Element are based upon the County's adopted Water Master Plan
Update. The Master Plan utilizes population projections prepared by the Collier County
Comprehensive Planning Department, approved by the Florida Department of Community Affairs
(DCA) and accepted by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD).
As part of the EAR -based amendments, Objective I should be revised to delete the reference to the
County Water Master Plan and the word "annually" that is in parentheses after the Ten -Year Water
Supply Facilities Work Plan. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an
"objective ".
Policy Relevance:
There are currently seven (7) policies within this Objective.
Policy 1.1:
The County shall continue to expand the ASR (Aquifer Storage and Recovery) system as a
potential emergency and seasonal potable water source.
This Policy calls for the continuing expansion of the County's Aquifer Storage & Recovery (ASR)
Program. This Policy remains relevant and should be rewritten not to be utility specific, but to mention
those jurisdictions, generally, that have an ASR Program to expand.
[Public Comment from February 23, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting that there is a concern
over the potential waste of re -use water; asking if re -use water can be treated to a standard
satisfactory as a drinking water source, and; observing that water should not be treated to a standard
of which there is not a demand.]
Policy 1.3:
The County shall continue to identify sufficient quantities of water sources to meet the
County's estimated growth- related needs. Potential water sources to meet the County's 2025
water demands include raw water from Hawthorn Zone I Aquifer (Intermediate Aquifer System)
and Lower Hawthorn Aquifer (Florida Aquifer System), identified within the County's 2005
Water Master Plan. The County shall use these water sources as well as alternative sources,
as permitted by the State, to meet the County's needs.
This Policy requires the County to identify sufficient water supply sources to address future needs.
This Sub - Element may be affected by changes to Chapter 163, Florida Statute, which were adopted
into law in 2005, as follows:
2
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— POTABLE WATER SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
163.3191(2)(1): The Evaluation and Appraisal Report must determine whether the local
government has been successful in identifying alternative water supply projects,
including conservation and reuse, needed to meet projected demand. Also, the Report
must identify the degree to which the local government has implemented its 10 -year
water supply workplan.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. Reporting the County's success in identifying
alternative water sources and the degree to which the 10 -year workplan has been implemented may or
may not require revision of this Sub - Element to be in compliance with the above Statutory change.
This Policy should be revised to delete the second sentence referring to water sources only if allowed
by Statute and reword the last sentence to "The County shall seek supply from all permissible sources
of raw water cited in the Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan to meet the County's needs. "
[Public Comment from February 23, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting the County should
develop new tools to predict future water availability.]
Policy 1.5:
The County shall coordinate with the South Florida Water Management District in the
development of the Water Master Plan Update, which is the primary planning document for the
Collier County Water -Sewer District.
This Policy requires the County to identify sufficient water supply sources to address future needs.
The Water Master Plan document does not cover all areas and jurisdictions in the County and this
reference should be changed. This Policy should be revised to replace "Water Master Plan Update"
with "Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan" and to replace "the Collier County Water -Sewer
District " with "Coiiier County ".
Policy 1.6:
The County shall coordinate with the South Florida Water Management District to produce
Plans for water supply as described within the Water Master Plan Updates that ensure the
County's ability to maintain its stated Level of Service standard.
This Policy calls for continuation of a County program for protecting existing and potential water
supply sources. Protection of existing and potential water supply sources is under the jurisdiction of
the County's Pollution Control Department. This Policy should be revised to replace "Water Master
Plan Updates " with "Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan ".
[Public Comment tom March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Questioning the status of and
responsibility for monitoring and maintaining our water resources.]
OBJECTIVE 2:
The County shall implement the following policies to make certain that public and private
sector potable water service utilities provide, repair and /or replace potable water supply,
treatment and distribution facilities to correct existing deficiencies in their respective service
areas as may be required to meet or exceed the Level of Service Standards established in this
3
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— POTABLE WATER SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Plan. In addition, public sector potable water service utilities will be expanded as necessary to
provide for future growth, as provided for in the following policies.
Objective Achievement Anal
Collier County 's private water and wastewater utilities are regulated through the Utility & Franchise
Regulation Section of the Community Development & Environmental Services (CDES) Operations
Department. This agency serves as staff for the Collier County Water and Wastewater Authority. The
Utility & Franchise Regulation Section is the County entity responsible for monitoring compliance
with County regulations by the various private utilities located in Collier County. In addition to
managing the operations of the Department and Section, the CDES Operations Director is also the
Executive Director for the Water and Wastewater Authority. The Authority is the regulatory entity for
the four (4) utility franchises operating in Collier County.
In regulating the operations of the County 's private utilities the Authority, which is appointed by the
Board of County Commissioners, exercises considerable power. They may set rates, adjust franchise
boundaries, set quality of service standards and intervene in disputes between utilities and customers.
The publicly owned (as opposed to privately owned) water supply system is operated by Collier County
as the Collier County Water District. The District is responsible for developing, operating and
maintaining all of the County 's public facilities related to potable water treatment and distribution.
This Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should
be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ".
[Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting this
language be strengthened to be fully inclusive and clear about non -County supplies and suppliers. ]
Policy Relevance:
There are six (6) policies within this Objective.
Policy 2.1:
The Collier County Water -Sewer District shall continue the development of a Collier County
Regional Potable Water System consistent with the Capital Improvement Element and the
Collier County Water -Sewer Master Plan to correct existing deficiencies and provide for future
growth.
This Policy calls for the County to continue development of a Regional Potable Water Utility System.
This Policy should be deleted or rewritten to not be utility specific - - - include both Water — Sewer
District and the County Water and Wastewater Authority; replace Master Plan with 10 -Year Water
Supply Plan.
Post -EAC Workshop comment. Reference to: County Water —Sewer Master Plan OK to read as:
County 10 -Year Water Supply Plan, and not Lower West Coast Supply Plan.

PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— POTABLE WATER SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Policy 2.4:
Collier County shall permit development of potable water supply systems as follows: within
the Designated Urban Areas of the Plan, including the outlying urban areas of Immokalee,
Copeland, Chokoloskee, Plantation Island, and Port of the Islands; within the areas depicted
on the Collier County Water District Boundaries map (Figure PW -1); within the Existing and
Future Potable Water Service Areas map (Figure PW -2), which includes the Rural Transition
Water and Sewer District; in Sending Lands within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District when
Density Blending, as provided for in the Density Rating System of the Future Land Use
Element, is utilized; in Towns, Villages, Hamlets and Compact Rural Developments within the
Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay; and, in areas where the County has legal commitments
to provide facilities and services as of the date of adoption of this Plan. For lands located
within the Collier County Water -Sewer District, but in which County water service is not
currently available, non - County potable water supply systems shall only be allowed on an
interim basis until County service is available.
Individual potable water supply wells may be permitted within the areas depicted on the Collier
County Water District Boundaries map (Figure PWA) on an interim basis until County water
service is available; individual potable water supply wells may be permitted in all Urban
designated areas outside of the areas depicted on Figure PWA on an interim basis until a
centralized potable water supply system is available; individual potable water supply wells
may be permitted in the Rural Transition Water and Sewer District, depicted on the Existing
and Future Potable Water Service Areas map (Figure PW -2), on an interim basis until County
water service is available; individual potable water supply wells may be permitted in Sending
Lands within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District when Density Blending, as provided for in the
Density Rating System of the Future Land Use Element, is utilized, on an interim basis until
County water service is available; and, individual potable water supply wells may be permitted
on lands outside of the Urban designated areas, outside of areas depicted on Figure PWA, and
outside of Towns, Villages and those Compact Rural Developments greater than one hundred
(100) acres in size within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay — all areas where potable
water supply systems are not anticipated. However, individual potable water supply weiis may
or may not be permitted within Compact Rural Developments one hundred (100) acres or less
in size, depending upon the uses permitted within the Compact Rural Development. Also, in
Towns, Villages, and those Compact Rural Developments greater than one hundred (100) acres
in size, potable water supply wells are allowed to serve no more than 100 acres, on an interim
basis only, until central service is available.
This Policy remains relevant and allows development of new or expanded potable water systems in
certain portions of unincorporated Collier County. It also allows the use of individual water supply
wells in areas where County or other central water supply service is unavailable. This Policy should be
revised to replace "until County water service is available " with a more inclusive statement, such as,
"until a centralized potable water supply system service is available". This includes mapping
changes and new map information derived from the private, or smaller, providers or districts.
Policy 2.5:
The County shall continue enforcement of ordinances requiring connection of existing and
new development to central potable water systems when they become available. Connections
to a central system shall be made pursuant to Collier County Ordinance 01 -73, adopted
December 11, 2001.
5
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— POTABLE WATER SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
This Policy calls for the County to continue enforcing mandatory connection to a central water supply
system, when such is available. This Policy should be revised to add "as amended" to the end of the
last sentence.
n
Policy 2.6:
Where Community Development Districts, or other similar special districts are established to
provide a tool for developers to finance infrastructure or other purposes, wholly or partially
within the Collier County Water -Sewer District, water service shall be connected to the regional
system, and internal facilities shall be conveyed, when acceptable, to the Collier County Water -
Sewer District for operation and ownership in accordance with Collier County Ordinance 01-
57, adopted October 23, 2001, or its latest revision, and District construction and operating
policies.
This Policy requires Community Development Districts, or other Special Districts to connect to
County water facilities when such are available. This Policy should be revised to replace "Ordinance
01 -57, adopted October 23, 2001 " with "Ordinance 04 -31, adopted May 11, 2004 ".
OBJECTIVE 3:
Pursuant to Chapter 163.3202, F.S., including any amendments thereto, Collier County has
implemented procedures to ensure that at the time a development order is issued, potable
water facility capacity that meets or exceeds the minimum Level of Service Standards
established herein is available or will be available to serve the development under the
guidelines established for concurrency in the Capital Improvement Element of this Plan.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective is the County's potable water concurrency provision. The Collier County Water -Sewer
District achieves concurrency of its stated LOS standard. The disclosure of this achievement is
reported within the periodic updates of the County's Water Master Plan. This Objective is being
achieved and it should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to
improve its formatting as an "objective ". Add the parenthetical "(LOS)" or "(LOSS)" to allow use of
acronyms in subsequent Policies.
Policy Relevance:
There are four (4) policies within this Objective.
Policy 3.1:
The following Level of Service Standards are hereby adopted and shall be used as the basis
for determining the availability of facility capacity and the demand generated by a
development:
Review of the historical ratio of residential to non - residential demand indicated that
approximately 17% of the total water usage is non - residential. Thus, the residential demand is
154 gpcd and the total finished water demand is 185 gpcd.

This Policy remains relevant and lists the Level of Service (LOS) Standards for the various Collier
County potable water utilities, both public and private. This Policy should be revised to delete the
second paragraph and update the Level of Service Standards, as the Collier County Water -Sewer
District is now 170 gpcd. The Policy should be revised to indicate the LOS standard for Ave Maria
Water and Wastewater facilities, which are inside the County.
The LOSS for wastewater treatment appearing in Policy 3.1 above is one of two locations within this
GMP where these standards are shown. The other location is Policy 1.5; subsection "D" in the Capital
Improvement Element. This dualism may be a simple matter of unnecessary redundancy, except that
the two Policies are not the same. These differences should be reconciled and a single location
selected for these LOSS to appear. If it is decided to show the LOSS in both locations, then the CIE
could be formatted to provide the LOS Standards, while the Sub - Element entries could elaborate on the
figures. This Policy will remain relevant in its reconciled format.
Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment om August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Supporting staff
suggestion to locate Level of Service Standards in the CIE, with this Sub - Element being revised to
direct readers to the CIE for this information. The CCPC also suggests considering whether water
pressures and water amounts could be introduced as LOS standards. Add Ave Maria facilities to this
listing.]
Policy 3.2:
In order to ensure that the Level of Service Standards contained in Policy 3.1 are maintained,
methodologies for determining available capacity and demand shall incorporate appropriate
peak demand coefficients for each facility and for the type of development proposed.
This Policy remains relevant and requires that public and private utility methodologies for determining
available capacity and demand must incorporate appropriate peak demand coefficients for each facility
and for the type of development proposed. This Policy should be retained essentially as written. This
�. Policy may be revised to abbreviate "Level of Service " to "LOS".
7
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — POTABLE WATER SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Policy 3.3:
The Level of Service Standards contained in Policy 3.1 are the minimum criteria for
replacement, expansion or increase in capacity of potable water supply facilities.
This Policy remains relevant and states that the LOS Standards contained in Policy 1.3.1 "are the
minimum criteria for replacement, expansion or increase in capacity of potable water supply facilities."
This Policy should be retained as written. This Policy may be revised to abbreviate "Level of Service "
to "LOS ".
Policy 3.4:
The County will annually review historical potable water demand records and adjust the Level
of Service Standards contained in Policy 3.1 if so indicated by the annual review.
This Policy remains relevant and requires an annual review of potable water demand records, with
adjustment of the LOS Standards, as necessary, based upon the findings of the annual review. This
Policy should be revised to replace "County" with "Collier County Water and Wastewater
Authority", and add a second sentence, such as the following- "The Collier County Water -Sewer
District shall review historical potable water demand records during Collier County Wastewater
Master Plan updates and adjust the LOS standards, as referenced in Policy 3.1, if needed. " and
retained as rewritten. This Policy may be revised to abbreviate "Level of Service " to "LOS ".
[Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that
changes ensure the proper identification of the responsible entities. j
OBJECTIVE 4:
The County shall continue t� promote conservation of notable water supplies by developing
p•
and implementing an integrated, comprehensive conservation strategy which will identify
specific consumption per capita goals.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective commits the County to the implementation of an ongoing water conservation program.
This Objective is being achieved and as such, it should be retained, essentially as written. This
Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ".
Policy Relevance:
There are currently seven (7) policies within this Objective. The Objective and policies are similar to
Objective 4 and its policies within the Sanitary Sewer Sub- Element (refer to the Sanitary Sewer
Section of this Report).
Policy 4.5:
Where Community Development Districts, or other similar special districts are established to
provide a tool for developers to finance infrastructure or other purposes, wholly or partially
within the Collier County Water -Sewer District, and where such districts make provisions for
irrigation via dual systems utilizing effluent and /or other irrigation sources, said systems shall
8
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— POTABLE WATER SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
be connected to the regional system when available, and all internal irrigation systems shall
remain in private ownership and be master metered by the County.
n This Policy requires Community Development Districts, or other special infrastructure districts, to
connect to the County Utility System when they irrigate using dual systems and are located within the
Collier County Water -Sewer District Service Area. This Policy remains relevant and should be
retained as written. SHOULD THIS POLICY PROVIDE A SPECIFIC ORDINANCE CITE?
Policy 4.6:
The County shall promote the use of xeriscape techniques (landscaping method that
emphasizes water conservation in its use of drought resistant landsGaping Ig ants) to minimize
potable water use for landscape irrigation.
This Policy remains relevant and requires the County to promote xeriscaping as part of its conservation
program with regard to irrigation reduction. This Policy should be retained essentially as written.
OBJECTIVE 5:
The County shall discourage urban sprawl and the proliferation of private sector potable water
service suppliers in an effort to maximize the use of existing public facilities through the
development order approval process by implementing the following policies.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective seeks to discourage urban sprawl through maximization of existing public water supply
utilities. Further, the Objective states that this action will be achieved through the local development
review process. The Public Utilities Engineering Department coordinates with the Zoning & Land
Development Review Department in the review of development order applications to ensure that the
requirements of this Objective are met. This Objective is being achieved and his Objective should be
retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an
"objective ".
Consideration should be given to revisions that recognize the importance of reducing GHG emissions
in furtherance of HB 697.
CONSIDER INTRODUCING A NEW OBJECTIVE AND SUBSEQUENT POLICY OR
POLICIES FOLLOWING FROM THE 2009 ADOPTION OF HB 697.
fflanning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the
amount of change introduced with Objectives and Policies following from the adoption of HB 697may
be misplaced and consideration for any such change may serve better if consolidated to address
multiple Elements or Sub - Elements at another location , and should be removed from the/ as a
proposed revision.]

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES
2011 EVALUATION & APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR)
Public Facilities Element — Drainage Sub - Element
Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Sub - Element will be revised to reflect the proper
formatting for all Goals, Objectives and Policies, as defined below:
Goal: General statement defining what the plan will ultimately achieve, typically beginning
with "TO" followed by a transitive verb, such as, TO PROTECT or TO ENSURE.
Objective: A more specific statement than the stated Goal; describing actions that will help
achieve the goal(s), typically beginning with the active verb providing the general direction,
such as, "Implement ", "Promote" or "Protect ". Objectives use the term "will" and allow
Policies to specifically require an activity with "shall ".
Policies: Specific statements that provide directives on how to achieve the objectives and
ultimately the Sub - Element's goals, typically beginning with phrases like, "The County shall
promote... ", "The County shall continue to..." or "The District shall expand..." or similar
phrases. Policies use the terms "may" or "shall" to provide specific direction.
Goals, Objective and Policies: The entire Sub - Element should be revised to reflect Department name
changes, designee changes, renumbering due to objective and /or policy additions and/or
deletions, and grammatical changes.

DRAINAGE SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Assessment of the Successes & Shortcomings
and Recommendations
for the Public Facilities Element — Drainage Sub - Element
A. Introduction & Background:
The purpose of the Drainage Sub - Element is defined within its single Goal, which reads as follows:
COLLIER COUNTY SHALL PROVIDE DRAINAGE AND FLOOD PROTECTION FOR EXISTING
AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, MINIMIZE THE DEGRADATION OF QUALITY OF RECEIVING
WATERS AND SURROUNDING NATURAL AREAS AND PROTECT THE FUNCTIONS OF
NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE AREAS.
The intent of the Drainage Sub - Element is to assure the provision of drainage and flood protection
facilities and services that would enable the citizens of Collier County to meet their needs for
stormwater management while also assuring public health and safety in accordance with the criteria set
forth in Rule 9J -5, F.A.C., and Chapter 163,_Florid- Statutes.
The annual update and amendment to the Capital Improvement Element, adopted January 28, 2008
included the initial step toward re- naming of this Sub - Element from the "Drainage" Sub - Element to the
" Stormwater Management" Sub - Element. The new name should be used in all titles, headings and
text within this Sub - Element, and in all references to this Sub - Element found throughout the Growth
Management Plan.
.--� Note that, in one respect, there is overlap in the intended purpose of the Drainage and Natural
Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Elements: both seek to protect aquifer recharge areas. However,
the emphasis of the Drainage Sub- Deient is on surface water protection, whereas the eiiipllasis of the
Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Element is on groundwater protection. For an evaluation
of the Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Element, refer to that Section of this Report. In
addition to the overlap of policies within the Drainage and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge
Sub - Elements, there is also an overlap between the intended purpose of the Drainage Sub - Element and
Goal 2 of the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (refer to the CCME Section of this
Report), including the Watershed Management Plans discussed under Objective 2.1 of the CCME.
EAR -based amendments made to those sections should be reflected in this Sub - Element, as necessary.
As currently formatted, this Sub - Element consists entirely of a single Goal, and its supporting
Objectives and Policies.
The provision of public facilities and services for stormwater management, floodplain management
and flood protection, potable water supply and, aquifer recharge area protection and watershed
management are planned in correlation with future land use projections. This Goal should be
expanded to fully capture the County's goals in these areas and ensure collaboration in implementing
Objectives and applying Policies. These interdepartmental colaborations should also be recognized,
and strengthend if necessary, in the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME) and
Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) of this Growth Management Plan.
This Goal should be rephrased to improve its formatting as a "goal ".
1
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
B. Objectives Analysis:
OBJECTIVE 1:
The County shall utilize the Annual Update and Inventory Report on Public Facilities (AUIR)
process to update the Drainage Atlas Maps and Channel /Structure Inventory components of
the adopted Water Management Master Plan to verify the existing watershed basin boundaries
within Collier County. The County will also verify the design storm capacity of the drainage
facilities within each basin, and determine the costs necessary to maintain the facility
capacities to selected design storm standards. This information shall be used to program
operational funds in the Annual County Budget and to identify necessary capital projects and
basin studies in the Annual Capital Improvement Element Update and Amendment.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
The above Objective requires drainage projects to be included in the County's Annual Update and
Inventory Report (AUIR), and thus the annual Capital Improvement Element and Schedule of Capital
Improvements update. The County has been diligent in adhering to this requirement. Each year the
County provides its latest AUIR to the Florida Department of Community Affairs along with its
submittal of its latest adopted Capital Improvement Element.
All mapping for the stormwater management system is now done in the GIS, and "Drainage Atlas
Maps" are no longer utilized. This reference should be changed to identify the GIS and update its
connection with the AUIR process.
Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written.
This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ".
[Public Comment from January 25, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting the County should re-
evaluate monitoring and maintenance procedures for nutrient loads /pollution/water quality.]
OBJECTIVE 2:
The County shall maintain adopted drainage level of service standards for basins and sub -
basins identified in the Water Management Master Plan. Maintenance of the drainage level of
service (LOS) identified for each basin will be implemented through the watershed
management planning process identified within Goal 2 of the Conservation and Coastal
Management Element of this Growth Management Plan.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
The purpose of this Objective and its policies is to maintain and implement the County's adopted
drainage LOS standards for its established drainage basins. Implementation provisions are based in the
CCME. Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as
written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ".
2
P UBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Policy Relevance:
There are two (2) policies within this Objective.
Policy 2.1:
The following levels of service for drainage are hereby adopted for the purpose of issuing
development permits. Upon completion of each associated Watershed Management Plan, the
level of service will be modified, if warranted.
A. Future "private" developments - water quantity and quality standards as specified in
Collier County Ordinance Numbers 74 -50, 90 -10 and 2001 -27, and Land Development
Code Ordinance Number 2004 -41, as amended.
B. Existing "private" developments and existing or future public drainage facilities - those
existing Levels of Service identified (by design storm return frequency event) by the
completed Water Management Master Plan as follows:

This Policy lists standards for the various identified drainage basins.
The LOSS for stormwater management systems appearing in Policy 2.1 above is one of two locations
within this GMP where these standards are shown. The other location is Policy 1.5; subsection "C" in
the Capital Improvement Element. This dualism may be a simple matter of unnecessary redundancy,
except that the two Policies are not the same. These differences should be reconciled and a single
location selected for these LOSS to appear. If it is decided to show the LOSS in both locations, then
the CIE could be formatted to provide the LOS Standards, while the Sub - Element entries could
elaborate on the figures. This Policy will remain relevant in its reconciled format:
[Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment fi-om August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Supporting staff
suggestion to locate Level of Service Standards in the CIE, with this Sub - Element being revised to
direct readers to the CIE for this information.]
[Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop —Questioning whether
the use of "as amended" in this context makes this Policy self amending.]
OBJECTIVE 3:
The County shall maintain and annually update a five -year schedule of capital improvements
for water management facilities in conformance with the annual review process described
within the Capital Improvement Element of the Growth Management Plan.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
Like other types of capital improvements, drainage projects are included in annual updates to the Five -
Year Schedule of Capital Improvements, and thus the County's Annual Budget for each fiscal year.
This Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should
be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ".
4
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Policy Relevance:
There are four policies within this Objective.
Policy 3.4:
County improvements to, and maintenance of, existing drainage facilities shall be a priority
over new construction projects in the urban and estates designated areas (exclusive of
Southern Golden Gate Estates).
This Policy requires that the County give major emphasis to drainage improvements in the Estates and
Urban Areas, as opposed to other portions of the County. This emphasis toward these improvements is
considered in the County's Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR). This Policy remains relevant
and should be retained as written.
[Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the
language in this Policy is ambiguous and needs revision to provide clarity and avoid an interpretation
that the improvement and maintenance of existing facilities Countywide are a priority over new
projects in the Estates — as this is not the case. SGGE is no longer open to development, so no
facilities have priority there. J
OBJECTIVE 4:
The County shall develop and maintain policies and programs to correct existing deficiencies
and to provide for future facility needs in accordance with the annual work program referenced
in the adopted Water Management Master Plan.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective requires the County maintain its drainage work program to correct deficiencies and
provide for future need. Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained,
essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective"
such as, Develop and maintain policies and programs to correct existing deficiencies and to
provide for future facility needs in accordance with the annual work program referenced in the
adopted Water Management Master Plan.
[Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting —Suggesting that watershed management
and water resource management should take a more holistic approach.]
[Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from August 11 2010 EAR Workshop —
Emphasizing the importance of preparing and following an annual work program.]
Policy Relevance:
There are three (3) policies within this Objective.
Policy 4.1:
Water management projects shall be undertaken in accordance with the schedule provided in
the Capital Improvement Element of this Plan. These projects shall be undertaken in
coordination with the Big Cypress Basin /South Florida Water Management District 5 Year Plan.
5
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
This Policy requires water management projects to be undertaken in accordance with the procedures
outlined within the Capital Improvements Element, and that such projects be coordinated with the Big
Cypress Basin Board and the South Florida Water Management District. (It is worth noting here that,
in Collier County the Big Cypress Basin Board, an arm of the South Florida Water Management
District, maintains the major drainageways while Collier County maintains the tributary systems.)
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained if re- written. Post EAC Workshop comment.
The Big Cypress Basin is not going to publish the S year plan in this format (County has been doing
this since the early 1980s). Beginning this year the new document will be called Big Cypress Basin
Strategic Plan 2010-2015. Properly revise reference to the "Strategic Plan" without the date
reference.
Policy 4.1
County capital stormwater management projects shall be undertaken in accordance with
the schedule provided in the Capital Improvement Element of this Plan. These projects
shall be undertaken in coordination with the Big Cypress Basin Strategic Plan.
[Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting a number of these. `other
regulatory agencies' be identified, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE), as
those among whom water resource management is coordinated — including surface water, stormwater,
and water supplies for municipal services.]
OBJECTIVE 5:
n
The County shall continue to regulate land use and development in a manner that protects the
functions of natural drainage features and natural groundwater aquifer recharge areas.
Implementation of this Objective will be consistent with the Watershed Management Planning
process identified within Goal 2 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the
Growth Management Plan, and with relevant provisions contained within the adopted Land
Development Code (Ordinance Number 2004 -41, as amended).
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective provides for the protection of natural drainage features and natural groundwater aquifer
recharge areas. This Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This
Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ".
[Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment fiom August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Questioning whether
the use of "as amended" in this context makes this Objective self amending.]
OBJECTIVE 6:
The County shall protect the functions of natural drainage features through the application of
standards that address the quality and quantity of discharge from stormwater management
systems. Implementation of this Objective will be consistent with the watershed management
planning process identified within Goal 2 and Objective 2.1 of the Conservation and Coastal
6
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Management Element of the Growth Management Plan. This objective is made measurable
through the following policies:
n Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective seeks to protect natural drainage features through the imposition of stormwater
discharge quantity and quality standards. The Objective relies on its subject policies for the definition
of standards. As per Objectives 2 and 5, this Objective should be revised to reference (in general) the
objectives and policies contained in Goal 2 of the CCME, and the Watershed Management Plans
described under Objective 2.1 of the CCME, and to acknowledge that these portions of the CCME
provide guidance for protecting the functions of the County's natural drainage features. Based on the
above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective
should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ".
[Public Comment from January 25, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting that watershed
management planning needs to be about more than just water — planning should take a more holistic
approach.]
[Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting —Suggesting that watershed management
and water resource management should take a more holistic approach.]
[Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from August 11, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting
that this Objective be expanded to address additional protections of natural drainage features in
roadway construction and other transportation projects, for introducing or increasing both wet and
dry detention features, and for including filter, or trickle, marshes to the system.]
n Policv Relevance:
There are three (3) policies within this Objective.
Policy 6.1:
Projects shall be designed and operated so that off -site discharges will meet State water
quality standards, as set forth in Chapter 62- 302.300, F.A.C., as it existed at the date of project
approval.
This Policy identifies a specific resource to address stormwater discharges to natural drainage features
and requires the County to meet State water quality standards. This Policy remains relevant and should
be retained as written.
[Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment fi °om August 11, 2010 EAR Workshop — Questioning
whether any applicable Federal water quality standards may not be incorporated into State standards
and would still apply, and if so, include proper reference to them.]
Policy 6.2:
Collier County's retention and detention requirements shall be the same as those provided in
the South Florida Water Management District's Basis of Review, as it existed at the time of
project approval.
This Policy identifies stormwater retention/detention requirements of the appropriate Water
Management District, with this document reference appearing to be out of date. This Policy also
7
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
mirrors other provisions found in another Public Facilities Element Sub - Element. The Pollution
Control Department implements this Policy. This Policy remains relevant and should be revised to
replace "Basis for Review, dated January 2004" with "Environmental Resource Permit Information
Manual, Volume IV, 2009 ".
It is also noted that the County does not adhere to the same retention and detention requirements as
those found in the resource identified. The interim watershed management regulations exceed the
SFWMD retention and detention requirements by requiring 150% of SFWMD criteria for all
developments. The SFWMD typically only requires that for projects discharging into designated
Outstanding Florida Water (OFW) sources. This Policy remains relevant and should accordingly be
further revised to reflect the increase in water quality treatment.
This Policy conflicts with CCME Objective 2.1. a. which requires 150% of the SFWMD water quality
treatment requirement. This is part of the Interim Watershed Standards.
[Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that both
the CCME and this Policy properly reflect the 150% figure. j
Policy 6.3:
Allowable off -site discharge rates shall be computed using a storm event of 3 day duration and
25 year return frequency. The allowable off -site discharge rates are as follows:
a.
Airport Road North Sub -Basin
0.04 cfs /acre
(North of Vanderbilt Beach
Road)
b.
Airport Road South Sub -basin
0.06 cfs /acre
(South of Vanderbilt Beach
Road)
c.
Cocohatchee Canal Basin
0.04 cfs /acre
d.
Lely Canal Basin
0.06 cfs /acre
e.
Harvey Basin
0.055 cfs /acre
f.
Wiggins Pass Basin
0.13 cfs /acre
g.
All other areas
0.15 cfs /acre
The County may exempt projects from these allowable off -site discharge rates if any of the
following applies:
1. The project is exempt from allowable off -site discharge limitations pursuant to Section
40E- 400.315, FAC.
2. The project is part of an existing SFWMD permit, which allows discharge rates different
than those listed above.
3. It can be documented that the project currently discharges off -site at a rate higher than
those listed above. The documentation required for this purpose shall be prepared by a
registered professional engineer, and will consist of an engineering study which utilizes
the applicable criteria in the "SFWMD Basis of Review for Environmental Resource Permit
Applications ". The study shall be subject to review and approval by the County and
SFWMD staff. The study shall include the following site - specific information:
8
P UBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
a. Topography
� b. Soil types and soil storage volume
c. Vegetation types
d. Antecedent conditions
e. Design rainfall hydrograph
f. Depression storage capacity
g. Receiving water hydrograph, and
h. Other relevant hydrologic and hydraulic data.
Using the above information, a hydrologic and hydraulic model shall be developed which
demonstrates the higher off -site discharge rate.
This Policy commits the County to using the 3 -day, 25 -year storm event as a discharge rate standard.
The Policy also contains a list of calculated discharge rates for identified basins and sub - basins. This
Policy references discharge requirements of the appropriate Water Management District, with this
document reference appearing to be out of date. This Policy also mirrors other provisions found in
another Public Facilities Element Sub - Element. The Pollution Control Department implements this
Policy. This Policy remains relevant and should be revised to replace "Basis for Review for
Environmental Resource Permit Applications" with "Environmental Resource Permit Information
Manual, Volume IV, 2009 ".
[Environmental Advisory Council (EA C) Comment from August 11, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting
that the County consider setting new limitations, or maximums for these exempt projects to provide
additional protections of natural drainage features.]
CONSIDER INTRODUCING A NEW OBJECTIVE AND SUBSEQUENT POLICY OR
POLICIES FOLLOWING FROM THE 2009 ADOPTION OF HB 697.
[Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the
amount of change introduced with Objectives and Policies following from the adoption of HB 697 may
be misplaced and consideration for any such change may serve better if consolidated to address
multiple Elements or Sub - Elements at another location , and should be removed from the/ as a
proposed revision.]

PROVIDE AN EFFICIENT AND ECONOMICAL BALANCE OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SERVICES
THAT WILL ENABLE THE PEOPLE OF COLLIER COUNTY TO MEET THE ESTABLISHED
REQUIREMENTS FOR SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN A MANNER TO ASSURE PUBLIC
HEALTH AND SAFETY AND TO PROTECT THE AIR, WATER AND LAND RESOURCES OF
COLLIER COUNTY.
The intent of the Solid Waste Sub - Element is to assure the provision of efficient and economical
services that would enable the citizens of Collier County to meet their needs for solid waste collection
and disposal while also assuring - public health and safety in accordance with the criteria set forth in
Rule 9J -5, F.A.C., and Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. The provision of public facilities and services for
solid waste management is planned in correlation with future land use projections.
The annual update and amendment to the Capital Improvement Element, adopted January 28, 2008
included the initial step toward re- naming of this Sub - Element from the "Solid Waste" Sub - Element to
the "Solid Waste Disposal" Sub - Element. The new name should be used in all titles, headings and
text within this Sub - Element, and in all references to this Sub - Element found throughout the Growth
�-� Management Plan.
The original intent of the Solid Waste Sub - Element was to assure the provision of efficient and
economical services that would enable the citizens of Collier County to meet their needs for solid
waste management while also assuring public health and safety in accordance with the criteria set
forth in Rule 9J -5, FA. C., and Chapter 163, Florida Statutes.
The Goal should be revised to replace "air, water and land" with "environmental resources" and to
add another statement, such as the following:
"In all aspects of solid waste management, adhere to the following Enduring Guiding Principles
approved by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners at the Integrated Solid Waste
Management Strategy Workshop on December S, 2006:
• Environmental and Growth Management Compliance — Environmental Compliance means
managing the impacts to the air, soil, water, and wildlife as well as "quality of life" impacts
to the community such as aesthetics, odor, noise, and traffic and Growth Management
Compliance means satisfying the growth management requirements reported in the Annual
Update and Inventory Report for both lined and permitted disposal capacity;
• Airspace Preservation - Airspace Preservation means managing solid waste upstream from
disposal as a means to extend the remaining airspace (disposal) capacity at the Collier
County Landfill;
1
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SOLID WASTE SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Operational Excellence - Operational Excellence means optimizing the operations of our
assets such as the Collier County Landfill and our Recycling Centers as well as the programs
administered by the Public Utilities Division; and
Best Value Service - Best Value Service means that the services offered in the County reflect
local and regional conditions and that the value of service is appropriately balanced with the
cost of service. A component of Best Value Service is that there is a direct correlation
between those that receive the benefits and those that pay for the services. "
This Goal should also be rephrased to improve its formatting as a "goal ".
B. Objectives Achievement Analysis:
OBJECTIVE 1: (COLLECTION)
Collier County shall continue to maintain a safe, dependable and efficient solid waste
collection system.
Present facilities meeting — the current Level of Service include two (2) franchise
collection areas and three Recycling Centers, as follows:
a. Unincorporated County service area;
b. Immokalee service area;
c. Three (3) Recycling Centers;
1. Naples Recycling Center
2. Marco Recycling Center
3. Carnestown Recycling Center n
Objective Achievement Anal
This Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should
be revised to add the Immokalee Recycling Center as number four and replace "three Recycling
Centers " with 'four Recycling Centers ", and rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ".
Policy Relevance:
There are four (4) policies within this Objective:
Policy 1.1:
The County shall continue to maintain and regulate commercial, multi - family and tax -bill based
residential collection costs to ensure efficient and dependable service affordable to all users.
This Policy the County to continue to maintain and regulate collection costs to ensure efficient and
dependable service that is affordable to all users. This Policy remains relevant and should be revised to
add an entry, such as the following:
"The primary components of a solid waste collection assessment are:
1. Franchisee Contract
2. Tipping Fees
2
P UBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT — SOLID WASTE SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
3. Administrative and Capital Program Costs "
Policy 1.2:
n The County shall retain its mandatory collection Ordinance Number 2005 -54, as amended, and
the mandatory commercial recycling Ordinance Number 2004 -50, as amended.
This Policy calls for the maintenance of the County's mandatory collection ordinance. This policy
remains relevant and should be retained as written.
[Planninz Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Questioning whether
the use of "as amended" in this context makes this Policy self amending.]
Policy 1.4:
The County shall ensure public awareness and participation in solid waste collection issues by
addressing such issues in duly noticed public meetings.
This Policy requires that all solid waste management issues be addressed at advertised public meetings.
This Policy should be revised to read, such as, "The County shall ensure public awareness and
participation in solid waste recycling, reuse, waste reduction, household hazardous waste collection
and disposal by addressing such issues in duly noticed public meetings and by advertising recycling,
reuse, collection, and disposal strategies and tips by such media as local newspapers, flyers, magnets
and TV and radio commercials. "
[Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the
amount of specificity introduced with "and tips by such media as local newspapers, flyers, magnets
and TV and radio commercials" is unnecessary in a comprehensive plan document and should be
removed from the proposed revision.]
OBJECTIVE 2: (DISPOSAL)
Collier County shall continue to utilize safe and efficient methods for environmentally sound
disposal of solid waste in accordance with local, State and Federal regulations and shall
continue to investigate improved methods and implement practices that meet this objective.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
A review of the policies associated with this Objective reveals that it is primarily concerned with the
environmental impact of County landfills. However, it also contains a policy that references the
County's Solid Waste Level of Service (LOS). The Objective is being achieved and should be
retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an
"objective ".
Policy Relevance:
There are eight (8) policies within this Objective:
3
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SOLID WASTE SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Policy 2.1:
The County shall continue to monitor groundwater as required by the regulatory permit
conditions for the operation of the landfill and in compliance with State and Federal rules and
regulations.
This Policy requires that groundwater wells be monitored. This policy remains relevant and should be
revised to add entries, such as the following, at the end:
"and pursuant to the Section 2.7 of Landfill Operations Agreement with Waste Management Inc. of
Florida. Dedicated ground water monitoring wells are located within the County's landfills and are
monitored for potential groundwater contamination in accordance with the State of Florida Permit
Conditions. "
[Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the
staff - proposed change is not necessary.]
Policy 2.2:
The County shall continue to maintain leachate and gas- management systems at County
landfills in order to comply with permit conditions.
This Policy calls for leachate and gas management systems to be installed at County landfills, as
needed. Both County landfills currently have such systems in operation. This Policy remains relevant
and should be revised to add a statement, such as the following, at the end:
"Pursuant to the Landfill Operation Agreement with Waste Management, Inc. of Florida (WMIF),
Section 2.9 Gas Management System, WMIF shall maintain, revise and upgrade the system as
needed to comply with permit conditions and Standard Levels of Service for the industry. "
[Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the
staff-proposed change is not necessary.]
Policy 2.4:
By fiscal year 2010, the County shall acquire and /or retain the land inventory required for
future solid waste operations, based upon selection of, including but not limited to, one or
more of the following options in order of priority:
1. Develop the means to partially or completely divert solid waste from the landfill
(additional recycling or alternative forms of disposal).
2. Increase the maximum permissible elevation of the Naples Landfill so as to gain
additional airspace capacity.
3. Explore emerging conversion technologies that would allow for continued solid waste
disposal operations within Collier County.
4. Secure and utilize additional capacity at a landfill or landfills.
This Policy requires the County to maintain sufficient land inventory for future landfills. The County's
adopted LOS for landfill capacity (as referenced in the Capital Improvement Element) is "10 years of 10�
permittable capacity at average disposal rate /previous five (5) years." This Policy should be revised to
4
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SOLID WASTE SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
replace "By fiscal year 2010, the County shall acquire and/or retain the " with a statement, such as,
"The County shall pursue the acquisition of' and replace "Naples Landfill" with "Collier County
Landfill to a maximum elevation of 200 feet above grade ".
[Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the
amount of specificity introduced with "a maximum elevation of 200 feet above grade" is unnecessary
and should be replaced in the proposed revision with "a maximum permissible elevation ".]
Policy 2.5:
The Level of Service for Solid Waste Sub - Element shall be:
a. Tons of solid waste per capita per year, used to determine landfill disposal capacity, is
based on the average of the last three complete fiscal years actual lined cell tonnage
activity.
b. Two (2) years of constructed lined landfill cell capacity at the disposal rate calculated
per 2.5.a.
c. Ten (10) years of permittable landfill capacity at the disposal rate calculated per 2.5.a.
The LOSS for solid waste disposal appearing in Policy 2.5 above is one of two locations within this
GMP where these standards are shown. The other location is Policy 1.5; subsection "I"' in the Capital
Improvement Element. This dualism may be a simple matter of unnecessary redundancy, except that
the two Policies are not the same. These differences should be reconciled and a single location
selected for these LOSS to appear. If it is decided to show the LOSS in both locations, then the CIE
could be formatted to provide the LOS Standards, while the Sub - Element entries could elaborate on the
figures. This Policy will remain relevant in its reconciled format.
[Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Supporting staff
suggestion to locate Level of Service Standards in the CIE, with this Sub - Element being revised to
direct readers to the CIE for this information.]
Policy 2.8:
The Collier County Solid Waste Department shall continue to operate and maintain a
hazardous waste collection facility. The facility shall operate five (5) days per week and will
accept household hazardous wastes. Additionally, the Department shall continue to hold its
hazardous waste collection day at least twice per year targeting residential households but
also allowing small businesses to participate.
This Policy commits the County to holding at least one hazardous waste collection day (amnesty day)
per year. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written, with consideration given to
the suggestion that there is no need for this level of specificity.
New Policies, such as retaining six (6) of the twenty -two (22) previously suggested, should be added
under Obiective 2:
Policy 2.14: The County shall maintain an effective emergency storm debris cleanup plan, and
n identify and establish temporary debris storage and reduction sites.
S
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SOLID WASTE SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration

solid waste management consistent with the Enduring Guiding Principles.
Policy 2.24:
The County shall evaluate options to beneficially recycle plastic agricultural film.
Policy 2.25:
The County shall assess the feasibility of expanding the Immokalee Transfer Station, or developing
a new facility to serve the Immokalee area, to become a full service recycling and reuse center
equipped with such options as household hazardous waste processing, paint reuse, vegetative and
yard waste drop -off, processing and composting, white goods drop -off, e -waste drop -off, furniture
and construction & demolition debris (C &D), resale store, etc.
Policy 2.28:
The County will work with local institutions, schools, government buildings; or churches, to initiate
programs for solid waste reduction, reuse, and recycling for their communities.
Policy 2.30:
The County will encourage the construction of Green Buildings (or Sustainable Buildings).
Relative to solid waste management, this includes:
• Recycled Content. Products with identifiable recycled content, including postindustrial

at the end of their useful life.
• Recycled or recyclable product packaging. Products enclosed in recycled content or
recyclable packaging.
• Durable: Materials that are longer lasting or are comparable to conventional products with
long life expectancies.
[Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27 2010 EAR Workshop —Suggesting that only
Policies 2.14, 2.18, 2.24, 2.25, 2.28 and 2.30 are irredundant with existing Policies, and that the
others should be removed from the proposed revision.]
OBJECTIVE 3: (RECYCLEAND RECOVERY)
The Collier County Solid Waste Department shall continue to maintain and update the
Integrated Solid Waste Management Strategic Plan as directed by the Board of County
Commissioners.
Objective Achievement Analysis:

PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT— SOLID WASTE SUB - ELEMENT
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
The County's Solid Waste Management Department maintains the County's solid waste disposal
activities in accordance with an Integrated Solid Waste Management Strategic Plan that includes Short,
Intermediate; and Long Term Measures. The County recommends that this Objective be modified to
n reflect the "Integrated Solid Waste Management Strategic Plan," instead of the "Solid Waste Master
Plan." Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as
written. This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ".
Policy Relevance:
There are three (3) policies within this Objective.
Policy 3.2:
The County shall continue investigation and implementation of cost - saving measures for
County disposal operations. The County shall evaluate other measures, including landfill
mining, as new technologies and practices emerge. (Currently, a methane gas collection
program is in operation.)
This Policy requires the County to "continue investigation of cost - saving methods for landfills." The
policy remains relevant and should be revised to delete "(Currently, a methane gas collection program
is in operation.) "
Two Policies such as the following, should be added under Objective 3:
Policy 3.4:
The County will encourage xeriscape landscaping (or Sustainable Landscaping) to reduce the
generation of yard waste and reduce water consumption. In practice, xeriscaping means simply
landscaping with slow growing, drought tolerant plants to conserve water and reduce yard waste.
COULD BE MOVED TO UNDER 3.1, ABOVE.
Policy 3.5:
The County shall develop and implement innovative programs to reduce, re -use and recycle solid
waste to meet the 2020 FDEP 75% Recycling Rate pursuant to FS Chapter 403.7032.
This new policy follows the recent adoption of the referenced Statute.
CONSIDER INTRODUCING A NEW OBJECTIVE AND SUBSEQUENT POLICY OR
POLICIES FOLLOWING FROM THE 2009 ADOPTION OF HB 697.
[Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting the County should study
ideas to target GHG sources — beside transportation, to address a lack of energy efficient plans, to
address the need to plan for sea level rise.]
fPlanning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 27, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the
amount of change introduced with Objectives and Policies following from the adoption of HB 697may
be misplaced and consideration for any such change may serve better if consolidated to address
multiple Elements or Sub - Elements at another location, and should be removed from the/ as a
proposed revision.]

Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
The following page is from the Solid Waste portion of the 2010 Annual Update and Inventory Report
(AUIR), approved by the BCC on November 10, 2010. The chart shows the land fill diversion effort of
Collier County Solid Waste, a reduction of 1.23 tons per capita in 2000 to .54 tons per capita in 2009.
This Forty-Four percent reduction in per capita disposal rate accomplished by the residential and
commercial recycling programs stands as one of the most significant County -wide efforts to promote
sustainability and directly relates to the major issue of Climate Change.

Assessment of the Successes & Shortcomings
and Recommendations
for the Public Facilities Element — Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Element
A. Introduction & Background:
The purpose of the Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Element is defined within its single
Goal, which reads as follows:
THE COUNTY SHALL IDENTIFY AND PROTECT NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER
RECHARGE AREAS FROM ACTIVITIES THAT COULD DEGRADE AND /OR CONTAMINATE THE
QUALITY OF GROUNDWATER.
The intent of the Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Element is to assure the provision of
efficient and economical services that would enable the citizens of Collier County to meet their needs
for the protection of groundwater recharge areas while also assuring public health and safety in
accordance with the criteria set forth in Rule 9J -5, F.A.C., and Chapter 163, Florida Statutes.
The annual update and amendment to the Capital Improvement Element, adopted January 28, 2008
included the initial step toward re- naming of the "Drainage" Sub - Element to the " Stormwater
Management" Sub - Element. The new name should be used in all references to that Sub - Element
found in this Sub - Element and throughout the Growth Management Plan.
Note that, in one respect, there is overlap in the intended purpose of the Natural Groundwater Aquifer
n Recharge and Drainage Sub - Elements: both seek to protect aquifer recharge areas. However, the
emphasis of the Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Element is on groundwater protection,
whereas the emphasis of the Drainage Sub - Element is on surface water protection. For an evaluation
of the Drainage Sub - Element, refer to the Drainage Section of this Report. In addition to the overlap
of policies within the Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge and Drainage Sub - Elements, there is also
an overlap between the intended purpose of the Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - Element
and Goal 2 of the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (refer to the CCME Section of this
Report), including the Watershed Management Plans discussed under Objective 2.1 of the CCME.
EAR -based amendments made to those sections should be reflected in this Sub - Element, as necessary.
As currently formatted, this Sub - Element consists entirely of a single Goal, and its supporting
Objectives and Policies.
The provision of public facilities and services for aquifer recharge area protection and watershed
management, floodplain management and flood protection, potable water supply, and stormwater
management are planned in correlation with future land use projections. This Goal should be
expanded to fully capture the County's goals in these areas and ensure colaboration in implementing
Objectives and applying Policies. These interdepartmental colaborations should also be recognized,
and strengthend if necessary, in the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME) and
Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) of this Growth Management Plan.
This Goal should be rephrased to improve its formatting as a "goal ".

[Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting —Questioning the status of and adherence
to the Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan and the Comprehensive Water Resource 10 ,
Management Plan; another, suggesting that watershed management and water resource management
should take a more holistic approach.]
B. Objectives Analysis:
General Analysis:
The Sub - Element Objectives and Policies are implemented primarily by the Collier County Pollution
Control & Prevention Department. The Objectives and Policies speak generically about groundwater
protection and the identification andprotection of aquifer recharge areas. However, virtually all of the
Department's work is related to County potable water wellfields ( >100,000 GPD design) in
accordance with Land Development Code Section 3.06 00 — Groundwater Protection.
OBJECTIVE 1 (MAPPING AND DELINEATION OF RECHARGE AREAS):
The County shall continue to review every two years, and revise as necessary, existing map
delineations of County potable water wellfields that are most sensitive to contamination from
nearby land development and other surface activities. The biennial review and any
subsequent map revisions will be based on geologic, hydrogeologic, hydrologic, and updated
anthropogenic contaminant data aggregated since the previous revision.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
Currently, Collier County's Pollution Control and Prevention Department uses an advanced 3-
dimensional computer model to calculate id�e��feld Risk AlU;Lageiicelit Zones around sign;" Ca32tl} sued
existing and planned potable water wellfields (>100,000 GPD design). These Wellfield Risk
Management Zones, in the form of maps, are adopted into the County 's Land Development Code
3.06 00 Groundwater Protection and placed on the County 's Zoning Maps for County planners to use
when regulating land development with the intent ofprotecting potable water wellfields from pollution
sources.
This Objective should be revised to replace "review every two years" with "review every three years"
and "The biennial review " with "The three year review ".
The proposed amendments for Objective I provides adequate time (3 years) for the development of the
proposed Wellfield Risk Management Zones, adoption of the proposed Wellfield Risk Management
Zones into Collier County 's Growth Management Plan's Future Land Use Element (Maps), and
adoption of the proposed Wellfield Risk Management Zones into Collier County 's Land Development
Code, Section 3.06 "Ground Water Protection. " The two years that are presently allotted have been
found to be insufficient to complete this objective. The recommended language amendment will
provide sufficient time (3 years) to complete this objective.
Based on the above, this Objective is being achieved and should be retained, essentially as rewritten.
This Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ".

[Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Questioning the status of and
responsibility for monitoring and maintaining our water resources.]
Policy Relevance:
There are five (5) policies within this Objective.
Policy 1.1:
The County shall revise and update its 3- dimensional computer models of ground water flow
around public water supply wellfields, as additional data (e.g., withdrawal rates, numbers and
locations of wells within wellfields, and hydrogeologic information) become available.
This Policy requires that groundwater flow around wellfield modeling be revised, as pertinent data is
made available. The Pollution Control Department implements this Policy. There is one recommended
change. The term "ground water" should be replaced by "groundwater" in this Policy, and
throughout the remainder of this Sub - Element and entire GMP wherever informally used [not in title of
formal document]. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as revised.
Policy 1.2:
The County shall identify those County potable water wellfields, or portions of wellfields,
which are susceptible to contamination, caused by adjacent or nearby land uses, drainage
patterns, geomorphic conditions, soil properties, and/or hydrogeologic factors, including the
presence or absence of confining units. This information shall be revised and updated as
necessary.
This Policy requires that the identification of wellfields susceptible to contamination be revised, as
pertinent updates are made available. The Pollution Control Department implements this Policy.
There are no recommended changes. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written.
[Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from August 11, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting
that potable water wellfield identification include locations in the greater Immokalee area.]
Policy 1.3:
The County shall maintain and update data on existing land uses and land use activities that
possess the greatest potential for ground water contamination.
This Policy requires the County to monitor land uses and land use activities to gauge their potential to
contaminate groundwater. The Pollution Control Department implements this Policy. There are no
recommended changes. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written.
[Public Comment from March 15, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Questioning the status of and

as described in the South Florida Water Management District's official publications dated April,
2000 (and scheduled to be published in 2006).
This Policy requires the County to reference a South Florida Water Management District publication to
keep current its computer model. A general reference to a 2006 publication however, potentially limits
the County's ability to keep this data current in future years as subsequent editions are published. The
Pollution Control Department implements this Policy. The "official publications" incorporated by
reference are the District's Lower West Coast Water Supply Plans. A version was first published in
2000 in three parts: a Planning Document, a Support Document and the Appendices Document. There
was an update in the 2005 -2006 timeframe — also published in multiple parts. There is an update
ongoing that may be completed in the 2010 -2011 timeframe.
This Policy remains otherwise relevant and should be retained and revised to identify the specific
SFWMD publication or publications being incorporated by reference into this Sub - Element, such as,
This Sub- Element shall incorporate by reference annual recharge amounts for the Surficial and
Lower Tamiami aquifers and deeper aquifers such as the Sandstone and Hawthorne Aquifers, as
described in the South Florida Water Management District's Lower West Coast Water Supply
Plan, as amended. ..

the use of "as amended" in this context would make this Policy self amending.]
OBJECTIVE 2 (PROTECTION OF GROUNDWATER QUALITY):
Ground water quality shall meet all applicable Federal and State water quality standards.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective seeks to protect natural groundwater aquifer recharge features through the imposition of
quantity and quality standards.
Collier County has implemented numerous proactive programs designed to protect Collier County's
groundwater quality from man -made pollution sources and hence remain compliant with this
Objective. In addition, Collier County has also developed programs designed to respond to pollution
releases into the environment and to monitor their satisfactory cleanup. Finally, the Collier County
Pollution Control & Prevention Department has developed strong working relationships with the
Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Collier County Environmental Health and
Engineering Department, South Florida Water Management District, Big Cypress Basin Board and the
Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services that enhance the County's ability to
effectively coordinate efforts to meet this Objective.

interested parties. Presently Collier County's Pollution Control and Prevention Department samples a
trend network of groundwater monitoring wells semi - annually, and reports on the data annually. In
addition, a Golden Gate Groundwater Baseline Monitoring Report had been completed in 2004, which
assessed the groundwater quality data obtained from 84 residential potable water wells. Residents
were provided groundwater laboratory results for the well they owned. A follow -up Golden Gate
Estates study is presently underway, which will compare this most recent groundwater quality data
with the historical 2004 reported data to determine water quality trends.

The County shall implement plans to preserve critical ground water recharge areas and n
ground water resources, and will review, evaluate, and revise (if warranted) those plans and
actions, based on the best available geologic, hydrologic, hydrogeologic, and anthropogenic
contaminant data.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective shares portions of its stated intent with Objectives 1, 2 and 3 above. This Objective
focuses the County's responsibilities on "critical" recharge areas and resources, whereas the above
Objectives identify all recharge areas and resources related to groundwater protection. Protecting
water quality and minimizing flood hazards employ watershed -based approaches that balance
environmental, economic and engineering considerations to meet these standards. This Objective is
being achieved and should be retained, essentially as written. This Objective should be revised to
replace "implement" with "continue implementing" and rephrased to improve its forniatting as an

Concza rring with the CCPC suggestion to remove the term "critical from these entries.]
Policy Relevance:
There are five (5) policies within this Objective.
Policy 5.5:
Collier County shall continue to operate and maintain a hazardous waste collection facility.
The facility shall operate five (5) days per week and will accept household and small business
hazardous wastes. Additionally, the County shall continue to hold its hazardous waste
collection day at least twice per year targeting residential households but also allowing small
businesses to participate.
This Policy requires the County to continue operating its hazardous waste collection facility. This
Policy remains relevant, but provides a level of specificity regarding days and hours of operation that
is not necessary in a comprehensive planning document. This Policy remains relevant nonetheless and
should be retained if rewritten to provide a lesser amount of specificity appropriate for the GMP.

Assessment of Successes and Shortcomings
and Recommendations
for the Housing Element
A. Introduction and Background
The purpose of the Housing Element is to provide guidance to the County in developing appropriate
policies and programs which demonstrate the County's commitment to meet any identified and
projected deficits in the supply of housing. Further, the stated Goal of the Housing Element is to
provide an adequate supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for all residents of Collier
County. In order to accomplish this goal, the County has implemented strategies aimed at the
development of new residential units and the rehabilitation or demolition of substandard units.
During the planning period for this Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR), the County has
successfully administered various State and Federal programs, including but not limited to,
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funds, HOME Investment Partnerships
Program (HOME) entitlement funds, Emergency Shelter Grant funds, State Housing Initiatives
Partnership (SHIP) funds, and funds authorized by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 -
all of which funded numerous development and redevelopment activities. The range of funded
activities includes, but is not limited to, a single family unit rehabilitation program, multi - family
affordable rental unit development, park and infrastructure development, redevelopment of abandoned
and foreclosed homes, and homebuyer education programs. In total, during this planning period, the
County has assisted individuals and families with down payment and closing costs in the amount of
$11,571,965; funded residential rehabilitation projects in the amount of $3,108,884; and, assisted in the
development of affordable- workforce housing projects by deferring impact fees in the amount of
$9,723,672.68.
The County has been successful in reducing the number of substandard housing units, preserving
historical and archeological resources, stabilizing neighborhoods by rehabilitating residential units, and
encouraging development of, or commitments to develop, affordable- workforce housing within the
County, through the establishment and funding of programs, and adoption of policies and regulations,
aimed at achieving the County's housing objectives. However, notwithstanding these successes, the
County's objective of creating 1,000 new affordable- workforce housing units each year during the
evaluation period for this EAR has not been achieved. The County has approved approximately 4,214
affordable - workforce units to be built, but only 728 of those units have been constructed.
Recent cost - burdened household data, from the University of Florida's Shimberg Center for Housing
Studies (July 2010), indicate that in 2010 approximately 35,942 residents are cost burdened, spending
greater than thirty percent of their household income on housing related expenses, and by 2030 that
number is expected to grow to 52,737 households. The data in Table 1. further indicate that over a 20-
year period the average annual demand for affordable units will be approximately 840 units. This
figure reveals an approximate 160 unit per year decrease in the affordable housing demand over the
previous figure of 1,000 units recommended in the 2004 EAR.

Source: Shimberg Center, July 2010
The above data suggest that the County can reduce the annual production rate of affordable - workforce
housing units. Further supporting this position is an estimated 3,486 affordable - workforce units
approved, but not built, and the current availability of unrestricted affordable housing supply in the
market as a result of the economic downturn across the State.
The recent decline in the housing market has increased affordability; however, it's important to note
that these units are unrestricted (not subject to regulatory control of rental or sale price, occupant
income level, time period to remain affordable, etc.), and are likely to increase in value as market
conditions change over time. This in turn would reduce the affordable- workforce housing supply in
the County. Regarding the approved, but not yet built units, it is unknown how many of those units
will be built and when they would become available.
The Housing Element should continue to include a specific requirement for the provision of affordable
housing to ensure that its goal, to provide an adequate supply of safe, decent and affordable housing
for all residents of Collier County, is achieved. Continuing to secure "restricted" affordable - workforce
housing units will reduce the long -term demand and increase the affordable - workforce housing supply
in the County.
B. Objective Analysis
OBJECTIVE 1:
The number of new affordable- workforce housing units shall increase by at least fifteen
percent of the units approved to be built in the County per year, but not less than 1,000 units
per year averaged over a five -year period in an effort to continue meeting the current and
future housing needs of legal residents with very -low, low and moderate incomes, including
households with special needs such as rural and farmworker housing in rural Collier County.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This objective has not been met. During years 2005 -2009, the review period for this EAR, there have
been approximately 4,214 affordable - workforce units approved to be built and approximately 728 units
built in Collier County.
Estimates from the University of Florida's Shimberg Center for Housing Studies indicate that the
increase in cost burdened households does not reach or exceed 1,000 units per year. The following is a
summary of the projected increases in cost burdened households in Collier County through year 2030.

As reflected above, the average annual increase in cost burdened households is not expected to exceed
890 units per year; the projections reveal a 160 unit per year need less than the current 1,000 unit
requirement. This suggests that the Housing Element should be amended to reduce the minimum
annual unit production of affordable- workforce housing. Further analyses of the above data show an
annual average over 20 a year period to be 840 units. A newly revised minimum unit per year
production of at least 10 percent of all units approved, but not less than 850 units per year built, may be
more appropriate based on the available data.
The Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be revised to
reflect an annual yearly affordable - workforce unit production rate of at least ten percent of all units
approved, but not less than 850 units constructed per year.
Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting to reduce
the proposed affordable - workforce housing unit production figure of 850 units to 500 units to account
for the future supply of affordable - workforce units approved, but not yet built, and the existing
affordable - workforce housing supply, resulting from declining home prices caused by the economic
downturn.
Policy Relevance:
Policy 1.1:
Collier County shall pursue interlocal agreements with the City of Naples, the City of Marco
Island, and Everglades City to require that each city provide their proportionate share of
affordable - workforce housing units (or the financial equivalent). Each city's proportionate
share and financial equivalent will be evaluated and substantiated by the most current data,
studies, and methods available to the County.
Policy Achievement Anal
The County has existing interlocal agreements with the City of Naples and the City of Marco Island.
These agreements identify the municipalities' affordable - workforce housing obligations, based on
current data, such as population and other methods available to the County.
Through the interlocal agreement between the County and the City of Naples, the City receives CDBG
funds and participates in the SHIP program, returning its allocated 7 percent to the County to
administer a joint affordable housing program. Through the interlocal agreement between the County
and the City of Marco Island, the City provides $50,000 dollars annually or 10 percent of the building
permit revenues, whichever is greater, to the County to administer affordable housing programs.
3
Housing Element
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to reflect
that the County presently has affordable- housing interlocal agreements with the City of Naples and the
City of Marco Island; and, add a requirement that the municipalities shall re- evaluate their respective
interlocal agreements with the County every three years.
Policy 1.4:
Collier County shall seek to distribute affordable- workforce housing equitably throughout the
county where adequate infrastructure and services are available. Programs and strategies to
encourage affordable- workforce housing development may include, but are not limited to,
density by right within the Immokalee Urban area and other density bonus provisions, impact
fee deferrals, expedited permitting (fast tracking), public - private partnerships, providing
technical assistance and intergovernmental coordination.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The equitable distribution of affordable- workforce housing throughout the county has been
problematic and the location of the various affordable- workforce housing projects has been generally
driven by market forces. The success of this Policy may continue to be based on market forces until
affordable - housing incentives are adopted to encourage the provision of affordable- workforce housing
in targeted areas of the County. Further, the County currently offers expedited permitting, flexible
density and technical support to encourage and promote affordable- workforce development within the
County.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained.
Public Comment (Community Meeting on 1125110 and 2123110):
Public stated that the County does not do enough to provide housing opportunities in close proximity
to employment centers, and thresholds should be established to minimize saturation of affordable
housing in a single geography.
Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting the
removal of the phrase, "seek to distribute affordable - workforce housing equitably throughout the
county" and, insertion of text within the Policy that is consistent with Section 163.317769 1.g.,
Florida Statutes, which states, "...avoid the concentration of affordable housing units only in specific
areas of the jurisdiction. "
OBJECTIVE 2:
The Collier County Board of County Commissioners aided in the establishment of the Collier
County Housing Development Corporation in 2003. The mission of the Housing Development
Corporation is to serve as a non - profit agency, with an executive board made up of
representatives from business, government, housing advocates, and the community at large,
which along with other not for profit agencies shall assist Collier County and its municipalities
in achieving a goal of increasing the number of affordable- workforce housing units by at least
fifteen percent of the units approved to be built in the County per year, but not less than 1,000
units per year averaged over a five -year period for very -low, low and moderate income
residents of Collier County.

Housing Element
Objective Achievement Analysis:
The mission of the Housing Development Corporation of Southwest Florida (fka The Collier County \
Housing Development Corporation) has shifted its focus to foreclosure prevention and homebuyer
education. The Housing Development Corporation (HDC) is no longer an active participant in vertical
construction.
The Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be modified to
reflect the removal of the HDC reference and their stated mission; add the phrase "for- profit and not -
for- profit providers of affordable - workforce housing" before the phrase, "shall assist Collier
County... "; and, delete the references to "fifteen" percent and "1,000" units and replace with "ten"
percent and "850" units, consistent with the changes proposed in Objective 1.
Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting to insert
the affordable - workforce housing production figure of 500 units, consistent with changes proposed in
Objective 1.
Policy Relevance:
Policy 2.1:
Not for profit agencies, such as the Collier County Housing Development Corporation shall
assist the County in reaching its annual affordable- workforce housing goal by holding
workshops and fairs to raise awareness and understanding of housing issues in the County;
working together to purchase and develop parcels; and, contributing funds towards the
purchase of land for affordable- workforce housing projects.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to relect
the removal of the HDC reference, as their focus has changed to foreclosure prevention and homebuyer
education.
Public Comment (Communi Meetings held on 1125110, 2123110 and 3115110):
Public stated that impact fee waivers are needed for affordable housing projects, and others stated that
impact fees should be eliminated all together for affordable housing projects.
Policy 2.9:
The County shall review the County's Affordable- workforce Housing Density Bonus Ordinance
every two years or sooner, as necessary, and revise the Ordinance, as necessary, to reflect
changing community needs and market conditions. The purpose of the Affordable- workforce
Housing Density Bonus Ordinance shall be to encourage the blending of affordable- workforce
housing density bonus units into market rate developments as well as to support
developments exclusively providing affordable- workforce housing.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The Ordinance is currently under review by the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, and is
expected to be completed by December 2010.
5
Housing Element
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to reflect
a new review time line of 3 years rather than 2 years, to make consistent with Section 420.9076 (4)
F.S.
Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 3115110)
Public stated that density bonus incentives for affordable housing development within mixed use
projects should be provided.
Policy 2.10:
The Collier County Operations Support and Housing Department shall continue to operate
affordable- workforce housing programs, in cooperation with public and private sponsors, to
provide safe, affordable- workforce housing to residents of the County's urban designated
areas and rural areas. Programs operated by the Department will continue to include, but are
not limited to:
• Impact fee deferrals
• Housing rehabilitation and emergency repairs
• Down payment and closing cost assistance
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The housing programs are working as intended. During the evaluation period for this EAR, the County
has funded approximately $9,723,672.68 in impact fee deferrals; $3,108,883.69 in housing and
rehabilitation and emergency repairs; and $11,571,964.51 in down payment and closing costs for
income qualified persons /families.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to reflect a
departmental name change — "Housing and Human Services Department"; and add to the listing of
programs operated by the Housing Department, "Acquisition and rehabilitation program."
Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 1125110
Public stated that the County should provide land for affordable housing.
Policy 2.11:
The Collier County Operations Support and Housing Department will continue to coordinate
with local utility providers to ensure that the necessary infrastructure and facilities for new
housing developments are in place, consistent with the County's Concurrency Management
System.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The Housing Department does not currently coordinate with local utility providers.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained in some form. The Policy should be revised to
reflect the removal of the "Collier County Operations Support and Housing Department" and in its
place insert the following, "The County in coordination with for - profit and not - for - profit providers of
affordable- workforce housing development..."
Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 3115110)
Public stated that public transportation should be provided proximate to affordable housing.

Housing Element
OBJECTIVE 3:
Collier County shall continue to support and adequately fund housing programs to promote
the preservation and protection of existing, stable residential neighborhoods. This will be
accomplished through the utilization of State Housing Incentives Partnership (SHIP) and
CDBG programs including, but not limited to, down payment/closing cost assistance,
rehabilitation and emergency repair, demolition with new construction, and impact fee
deferrals.
[This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed]
Policy Relevance:
* Policy 3.5:
The City of Naples will initiate a study of the Old Naples area to determine architectural and
development standards to protect and preserve the existing residential character of the area.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
A study has not yet been conducted. However, the City remains interested in incentives to preserve
and protect the existing residential character of the Old Naples area.
The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to include
a date when the study must be completed, so that the Policy is measurable.
* Policy 3.7:
The City of Naples will implement their housing maintenance code to address the conservation
of housing stock and the preservation and protection of residential neighborhoods.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The City considered a Housing Maintenance Code, but one has not yet been adopted. The City does
however include Neighborhood Action Plans for all recognized neighborhoods within the City as an
element of its Comprehensive Plan. Specific needs and desires of each neighborhood are established,
addressed and evaluated in those Plans.
The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to include a
date when the study must be completed so that the Policy is measurable.
OBJECTIVE 4:
Collier County and the City of Naples will conduct a comprehensive housing survey, every
three years or sooner, for the purpose of identifying substandard dwelling units. Through
continued enforcement of County housing codes, and the provision of housing rehabilitation
or replacement programs, the number of substandard units (associated with a lack of
plumbing and/or kitchen facilities) throughout the County shall be reduced by 5% per year
through rehabilitation or demolition.
Objective Achievement Anal [County]
A comprehensive housing survey has been completed in certain areas of the County. The surveying of
other geographies will occur in the future as funding and staff resources become available. The
Housing Element
County, however, will continue its enforcement activities to reduce the number of substandard units
within the county.
Objective Achievement Analysis: [City of Naples]
A comprehensive City -wide survey of Naples has not been completed. Generally, substandard housing
units are identified by the City's Building and Code Enforcement Divisions. The City's Building and
Code Enforcement Divisions do not conduct annual surveys of housing conditions to identify
substandard units; such assessments occur only as a result of a natural disaster. Further, there have
been no units rehabbed, demolished or replaced by the City through rehabilitation or replacement
programs during this review period for this EAR. However, many units were rehabilitated by property
owners following hurricane Wilma in October of 2005.
This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be revised to
remove the reference to the City of Naples conducting a survey, as the City does not have this activity
funded or programmed in their work plan.
Policy Relevance:
Policy 4.3:
Review and amend the existing relocation policy of the City of Naples and the County, and
create one uniform relocation housing policy, consistent with the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development requirements.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
A uniform relocation housing policy has not yet been created for the County and the City of Naples.
Until such a policy is adopted, both the County and City of Naples will continue to abide by the
provisions of the Uniform Relocation Act.
This policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be updated to include
a completion date for the joint County and City uniform relocation housing policy, so that the Policy is
measurable.
OBJECTIVE 5:
Collier County and the City of Naples will annually monitor all identified historically significant
homes to determine if these structures are being conserved, maintained, and /or rehabilitated.
[This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed]
Policy Relevance:
Policy 5.4:
By 2008, Collier County and the City of Naples will study potential incentives to encourage the
conservation, maintenance and rehabilitation of historic homes and will make
recommendations to the City Council and to the Board of County Commissioners as to which
incentives should be adopted.
8
Housing Element
Policy Achievement Analysis:
This Policy objective has not been achieved. The Board of County Commissioners and the City
Council have not yet adopted incentives to encourage the conservation, maintenance and rehabilitation
of historic homes.
However, in December, 2005, City Council and the City's Planning Advisory Board convened a joint
meeting for the purpose of discussing a proposed historic preservation ordinance. Thereafter, planning
staff was directed to prepare a revised draft ordinance that includes stronger incentives for the
preservation of historic homes. The ordinance has not been adopted; however, the City remains
interested in incentives to preserve historic structures.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be amended to
reflect a revised completion date for the joint study between the County and the City of Naples by year
2011.
Policy 5.6:
By 2008, the Board of County Commissioners shall commission a new Historical Survey for all
of unincorporated Collier County. The Survey shall review the current status of all previously
identified historical structures and sites within the unincorporated County and shall make
recommendations as to which of these sites or structures should be nominated to the National
Register. The Survey shall also review and make similar recommendations regarding any
previously unidentified historic structures or sites.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
This Policy objective has not been achieved due to an inability to fund the Survey. The County
continues to rely on the Historical and Archeological Probability Map Series, updated in 1999, to
Ueten Mme if a project is within an area of prouauiiiLY.
The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the survey commission date should be
modified to reflect a future date when funding potentially would be available to the conduct the survey.
Policy 5.7:
By 2009, the Historical /Archaeological Preservation Ordinance shall be updated to include the
results of the Historical Survey and to include any relevant changes in State or Federal
regulations concerning historical properties.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
This Policy objective has not been achieved.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the date of the required revisions to the
Ordinance should be modified to coincide with the amended survey commission date established for
Policy 5.6.
OBJECTIVE 6:
Collier County shall monitor changes to state and federal regulations pertaining to group care
facilities, and, as necessary, amend its Land Development Code to ensure compliance.

Housing Element
n
Objective Achievement Analysis:
The County will continue monitoring all related state and federal regulations as an ongoing activity.
This Objective remains relevant and should be retained.
Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from the August 25 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting to
replace the term "group care facilities" with "group housing and Continuing Care Retirement
Centers " to broaden the purpose of the Objective.
OBJECTIVE 7:
Although mobile home parks currently exist within Collier County, as a result of the coastal
community's susceptibility to flooding and storm surges, any new mobile home parks will be
restricted to areas outside of the Urban Coastal Fringe.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
The County currently prohibits new mobile home parks within the Urban Coastal Fringe.
This Objective remains relevant and should be retained.
Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from the August 25 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting to
replace incorrect reference to the Urban Coastal Fringe with the correct reference to the "Coastal
High Hazard Area. "
OBJECTIVE 8:
Collier County shall continue to utilize SHIP, CDl3G, or other funding sources and, in
partnership with Federal, State and non - profit housing agencies, will seek to provide a
minimum of 50 rehabilitated or new residential units per year for very low, low and moderate
income residents of the Immokalee Urban Area, Rural Fringe l:lixed Use District, and Writhin the
Rural Lands Stewardship Area. Families benefiting from such housing will include, but not be
limited to, farmworkers and other populations with special housing needs.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
The County continues to exceed the minimum number of rehabilitation projects required by this
Objective. During the latter years of the evaluation period for this EAR, the County assisted with the
rehabilitation of 92 residential properties, and funded rehabilitation projects in the amount of
$3,108,883.69 during the entire review period for this EAR. Additionally, the County was allocated
$7,306,755 to assist with the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed homes and residential
properties. As of June 2009, 35 percent of those funds have been committed for the acquisition and
rehabilitation of foreclosed properties. Further, the County was awarded funding under the Disaster
Recovery Initiative grant which has funded rehabilitation projects throughout the County.
It should be noted that the process for awarding funds to rehabilitate residential units must be
competitive, not restricted to certain geographies within the County. As a result, the County
recommends revising the Objective to remove the restriction that rehabilitated units must be located
only in the Immokalee Urban Area, Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, and within the Rural Lands
Stewardship Area.

Housing Element
Policy Relevance:
Policy 8.1:
Collier County shall continue to pursue the policy of requiring all non - conforming or sub-
standard residences of any type within the Immokalee Urban Area to be either rehabilitated to
current housing code standards or demolished.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Collier County transmitted the revised Immokalee Area Master Plan (LAMP) Element to the
Department of Community Affairs on June 23, 2010. This Element provides specific objectives to
promote the rehabilitation of substandard residences within the Immokalee Urban Area.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to remove
the reference to "non- conforming" residences, so that it correlates with the Master Plan revisions that
have no such policies.
Policy 8.2:
By 2008, Collier County shall complete a review of the residential density caps established
within the Immokalee Area Master Plan Element of this Growth Management Plan. Based upon
this review, the County shall determine if and where it may be appropriate to increase such
caps, so as to encourage the development of new affordable- workforce housing units for
farmworkers, very low, low and moderate income residents.
Policy Achievement Anal
The residential density cap review was completed as part of the Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP)
Element re- write, transmitted to the Department of Community Affairs on June 23, 2010. The density
caps were raised in certain sub - districts to 20 units per acre. This change would allow the development
of an additional +6,730 dwelling units within the Immokalee Urban Area; presumably promoting
affordable - workforce housing developments.
This Policy is no longer relevant and should be deleted, as the Policy objective has been fulfilled.
Policy 8.3:
During 2004, the County completed a housing assessment survey of single family, multi-
family, and mobile home units and mobile home parks in the Immokalee Urban Area, in order
to determine the number of units that do not meet the County's current health, safety and
minimum housing codes. The County shall target affordable- workforce housing and code
enforcement programs to correct the conditions.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The County has completed a housing assessment survey of the Immokalee Urban Area by the date
specified in the Policy. As part of the survey, the County identified units that did not meet the
County's minimum housing codes. The County will continue to work with area residents to correct
housing conditions, and will continue to implement programs to improve the housing stock in the
Immokalee Urban Area.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be modified to
reflect the completion of the survey; and, include a reference identifying activities as ongoing. /'1

Housing Element
Policy 8.6:
Collier County will continue to utilize CDBG funds to provide farmworker- housing
opportunities. In addition to housing units that currently qualify for assistance under SHIP
program guidelines, special consideration of CDBG funds will be aimed at units that current
SHIP program guidelines prohibit from assistance (i.e., mobile home units). Farmworkers will
also be encouraged, through the use of multi - lingual outreach programs, to take advantage of
any other CDBG, SHIP, Local, State, Federal and private programs for which they may qualify.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to remove
the second sentence, as the process for awarding Federal and State funds is competitive and not
intended for set - asides.
This Element is affected by changes to Chapter 163, Florida Statute, which were adopted into law in
2008, as follows:
163.3177(6)(f) l .h. and i. Requires that the housing element include standards, plans and
principles to be followed in energy efficiency in the design and construction of new housing
and in the use of renewable energy resources. Ch. 2008 -191, LOF. (HB 697)
Staff proposed the below Objective and associated Policies to address these requirements.
OBJECTIVE 9:
Collier County shall support housing programs that encourage the development of energy
efficient and environmentally sensitive housing.
Policy 9.1:
The County will encourage the construction of energy efficient housing by exploring
innovative regulations that promote energy conserving and environmentally sensitive
technologies and design.
Policy 9.2:
The County shall educate the public about the economic and environmental benefits of
resource efficient design and construction.
Policy 9.3:
The County shall expedite plan review of housing projects that promote energy conservation
and design.
Policy 9.4:
The County shall continue to encourage the development of mixed housing types near
employment centers in order to reduce Green House Gas emissions and minimize carbon
footprints.
Policy 9.5:
The County shall promote the incorporation of US EPA Energy Star Building and Appliances
programs into construction and rehabilitation practices.

Recreation and Open Space Element - Summary
Recreation and Open Space Element - ROSE
Introduction and Background
Chapter 163.3177(6)(e), Florida Statutes, requires each local government comprehensive plan to have
"A recreation and open space element indicating a comprehensive system of public and private sites
for recreation, including, but not limited to, natural reservations, parks and playgrounds, parkways,
beaches and public access to beaches, open spaces, and other recreational facilities." However,
Chapter 9J- 5.014, Florida Administrative Code, which formerly contained the Florida Department of
Community Affairs' "Minimum Standards" for review of local Recreation and Open Space Elements,
has been deleted. Thus, while the Recreation and Open Space Element remains a requirement for local
comprehensive plans in the State of Florida, the format and contents of such an Element may be
tailored to local needs, provided that the intent of the Statute is met.
The Recreation and Open Space Element is divided into three sections, each of which is guided by a
specific goal. These three sections are:
• The general provision of parks, recreation facilities and open space areas for the use and
enjoyment of Collier County residents and visitors.
• The development of a countywide neighborhood park system.
• The development of a countywide regional and community park system.
r These three primary goals are the aims to which the Element's objectives and policies seek to
accomplish. The second of the above goals is being proposed to be deleted as a standalone goal and is
being proposed as a policy with revisions and clarification as to the responsibility for providing and
maintaining these neighborhood facilities. The reason behind this proposed change sits with the fact
that the County does not have a Level of Service Standard for neighborhood parks, as is the case with
community and regional parks and does not provide these facilities on a regular or consistent basis, but
rather seeks individual developments to provide for localized recreational facilities. Below is the
evaluation of the existing Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Rose.
?1- ,
GOAL 1: PROVIDE SUFFICIENT PARKS, RECREATION FACILITIES AND OPEN SPACE AREAS
TO MEET THE NEEDS OF RESIDENTS AND VISITORS OF COLLIER COUNTY.
Goal 1 adequately reflects mission statement of the Parks and Recreation Department.
OWECTIVE 1.1: Continue to ensure that a comprehensive system of parks and recreation
facilities is available from among facilities provided by the County, other governmental bodies
and the private sector.
Obiective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remains as written.
1
Recreation and Open Space Element - ROSE
The Objective is designed to specifically further Goal One by providing for recreational opportunities
by the County based upon the availability of the various facilities provided by other providers and
targeting the service gaps.
Policy 1.1.1: Collier County hereby adopts the following level of service standards for facilities
and land owned by the County or available to the general public:
LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARD:
A. 1.2882 acres of community park land /1,000 population (unincorporated)
B. 2.9412 acres of regional park land /1,000 population
C. Recreation facilities — Facilities in place, which have a value (as (X) defined) of at least
$270.00 per capita of population. A Construction Cost Index (CCI) adjustment will be used to
determine the construction cost of facilities planned. The CCI that will be used will be the
prior year of the County's fiscal year budget.
1. Value will be arrived at using the per unit values for each facility type available in the
County, as set forth in the Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR), applying the values to
the number of each facility type, adding up all values and dividing the total by the County
population.
2. Where recreation facilities provided by other governmental bodies or the private sector are
available through arrangement with the County to the public on a convenient basis, they shall
be considered in measuring in -place facility value. 10�
Policv Achievement Analvsis: Collier County recommends text revisions.
The Board of County Commissioners determined during the 2007 Annual Update and Inventory
Report (AUIR) that recreational facilities are no longer a Level of Service to be counted in the AUIR.
The Recreational facilities value was replaced with Recreational facility type guidelines. Therefore the
Recreational facilities LOS no longer is applicable and need to be deleted from the element. It was
also directed that Community and Regional Park (LOSS) Level of Service acres per 1,000 be rounded
down. Revise to 1.2 acres of community park land/1,000 population (unincorporated) 2.7 acres of
regional park land/1,000 population
At the conclusion of the ROSE Objective and Policy analysis, a series of charts, graphs and maps
will illustrate the Level of Service analysis for Regional and Community parks.
Policy 1.1.5: Continue to correct or improve existing parks and recreation facilities
deficiencies which are necessary in order to meet the level of service standards.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text for deletion.

Recreation and Open Space Element - ROSE
The Board of County Commissioners determined during the 2007 Annual Update and Inventory
Report (AUIR) that recreational facilities are no longer a Level of Service to be counted in the AUIR.
The Recreational facilities value was replaced with Recreational facility type guidelines.
Policy 1.1.6: The County shall continue to establish and implement a program with appropriate
criteria to designate or acquire open space areas and natural reservations.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions.
Current policy is confusing recommend clarifying by the following: The County shall continue to
establish and implement a program with appropriate criteria to pursue and acquire open space areas
and natural reservations. A series of community planning initiatives, begun in the late 1980s,
culminated in 2001 with the Community Character and Design visioning process that brought to the
forefront of community dialogues the need for a greenspace acquisition program. Currently, 28 other
Florida Counties have similar, successful programs. The resulting initiative, "Vote Conservation 2002"
placed a referendum question on the November 2002 ballot, asking voters whether they would be
willing to tax themselves one quarter mill for 10 years to buy conservation lands and greenspace and to
approve a $75 million limited tax general obligation bond. Nearly sixty percent of Collier County
voters approved the measure. As a result, the Conservation Collier Ordinance (Ordinance No. 2002 -63)
was developed, with citizen input and County Commission approval, to respond to identified
conservation needs and make conservation and protection of environmental resources into a real plan
for the future.
In November 2006 Voters were again asked in a referendum "straw vote" question whether they
understood and approved that the Conservation Collier Program would be funded by a quarter mill ad
valorum property tax for a period of ten (10) years, until 2013, expected to raise approximately $189
million as opposed to limiting it to a $75 million program. Eighty -two percent (82 %) of the
respondents indicated that they understood the design of the Conservation Collier Program.
Since 2004 the program has acquired 3,901.45 acres. A list of the property acquisitions and a map
spatially depicting all property acquired through the program to date follows the ROSE section.
OBJECTIVE 1.2: Protect designated recreation sites and open space from incompatible land
uses through development of appropriate design criteria and land use regulations.
Obiective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remain.
Objective is adequate to meet current protections for designated recreation sites and open space and the
issue of incompatible land uses has not been an issue with the existing inventory of park sites.
OBJECTIVE 1.3: Continue to ensure that all public developed recreational facilities, open
space and beaches and public water bodies are accessible to the general public.
Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the text remain.
3
Recreation and Open Space Element - ROSE
Current objective embodies the need for public accessibility to facilities, open spaces and beaches.
This priority has remained high on the agenda of the County since the 2004 EAR.
Policy 1.3.1: County -owned or managed parks and recreation facilities shall have automobile,
bicycle and/or pedestrian access, where the location is appropriate and where such access is
economically feasible.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions. With HB697 -2008 energy
conservation and efficiency requirements, the provision of energy efficient land use patterns, and
strategies reducing green house gas, specific consideration should be given to alternative forms of
transportation.
Recommend amending policy to reflect: County -owned or managed parks and recreation facilities
shall have automobile, bicycle and/or pedestrian access, where the location is appropriate and where
such access is economically feasible, with specific consideration given to alternative forms of
transportation that would reduce VMT and green house gas.
OBJECTIVE 1.4: Continue formal mechanism to improve and coordinate efforts among levels
of government and the private sector in order to provide recreational opportunities.
Obiective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remains.
The formal mechanisms in place ( Interlocal agreement process with the School District, Interlocal
agreements with the state and municipal park providers and the land reservation through the public
hearing process) is meeting the needs of the County to satisfy the current level of service requirements. r
Policji I -+.1. 1111VUg1i the land development review process, voiiier Cvui�i�/ Snail Continue to
encourage developers to provide recreation sites and /or facilities within residential and mixed
use Planned Unit Developments (PUDs).
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends revisions to the text.
Recommend policy to reflect the following change: Through the land development review process,
Collier County shall continue to encourage developers to provide recreation sites and/or facilities
within residential and mixed use Planned Unit Developments (PUDs), where appropriate. The
policy revision is a simple reflection that park sites are not appropriate and/or feasible in all PUD
request.
Policy 1.4.2: Collier County shall continue to coordinate the provision of recreational facilities
and activities with other governmental jurisdictions that own or operate such facilities and
activities within, or adjacent to, Collier County. Said governmental entities shall include, but
not necessarily be limited to:
U.S. Department of Commerce, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
U.S. Department of the Interior, The National Park Service

Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends revisions.
Deletion of everything in the policy after, "or adjacent to, Collier County. " The County does not see
the va111P in lifting the specific entity and would not preclude coordination with an entity that was not
listed or designated per the Policy.
Policy 1.5.1: Collier County shall maintain a current inventory of recreational facility
commitments made by developers through the development review process.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends revisions to the text.
Current policy should be amended to include open space commitments as well as recreational facilities
to inventory.
Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Add "and usable
open space " after "recreational facility" in existing policy.
OBJECTIVE 1.6: Whenever possible and practical, utilize County owned property for
recreational uses.
Obiective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remain.
Current objective continues to be relevant and allows for land inventory to be dedicated to parks use
when deemed appropriate by the Board.

Recreation and Open Space Element - ROSE
GOAL 2: THE COUNTY SHALL PROMOTE A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK SYSTEM TO MEET THE
RECREATIONAL NEEDS OF RESIDENTS WITHIN THE COUNTY.
Goal Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends Goal be deleted.
OBJECTIVE 2.1: By the year 2010, the County Parks and Recreation Department will identify
general areas where neighborhoods might request sites for future neighborhood parks.
Obiective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the Objective be deleted.
Neighborhood Parks are not inventoried in the Annual Update Inventory Report and no level of service
for their provision has been established by the County. Recommend policies related to the
Neighborhood Park system be met at the LDC level.
Policy 2.1.1: The Parks and Recreation Department will identify those sites or general areas for
neighborhood parks with citizen input to determine the types of recreational facilities
particular communities would like to see within their neighborhoods.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the policy be deleted.
Neighborhood Parks are not inventoried in the Annual Update Inventory Report and no level of service
for their provision has been established by the County. Recommend policies related to the
Neighborhood Park system be met at the LDC level.
Policy 2.1.2: The County shall amend the Land Development Code to require the developer of a n
residential PUD, or a PUD having a residential component, to provide its residents and guests
with a suitable neighborhood park, as determined on a case- by -ca5e basis, which is, as
required by Policy 5.4 in the Future Land Use Element, compatible with the surrounding
development.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the policy be modified and relocated to
current Objective Three.
Neighborhood Parks are not inventoried in the Annual Update Inventory Report and no level of service
for their provision has been established by the County. Recommend policies related to the
Neighborhood Park system be met at the LDC level. Additionally, this policy needs to be revised to
delete the requirement of a "suitable neighborhood park" with the term recreational facilities and
clarify the reference to Policy 5.4 of the FLUE to state, "as required by Policy 5.4 in the Future Land
Use Element to be compatible with the SUrrGunuiiig development.
Policy 2.1.3 New neighborhood parks will be carefully sited and intentionally integrated into
existing residential neighborhoods, and shall be designed according to the principles of Crime
Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), where these principles are appropriate
and economically feasible. Neighborhood parks may also be co- located with churches,
schools, or other recreational facilities.

Recreation and Open Space Element - ROSE
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the policy be deleted.
Neighborhood Parks are not inventoried in the Annual Update Inventory Report and no level of service
for their provision has been established by the County. Recommend policies related to the
Neighborhood Park system be met at the LDC level.
Policy 2.1.4: The County shall investigate the utilization of tax credits or other incentives for
property owners who wish to dedicate land to the County to meet the recreational needs of
neighborhood parks.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the policy be deleted.
Neighborhood Parks are not inventoried in the Annual Update Inventory Report and no level of service
for their provision has been established by the County. Recommend policies related to the
Neighborhood Park system be met at the LDC level.
Policy 2.1.5: The County shall encourage the development of pedestrian pathways and bike
lanes from the surrounding residential communities to park sites.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the policy be deleted.
With the elimination of the Goal and Objective above related to neighborhood parks, this isolated
policy no longer has a larger connection to the ROSE. The policy of encouraging the development of
pedestrian pathways and bike lanes to park sites from surrounding residential development is still
sound and good policy to better promote individual mobility options and promotes a healthy lifestyle,
but the policy is already expressed in Policy 3.1.6 of the existing element
GOAL 3: THE COUNTY SHALL DEVELOP A COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PARK SYSTEM TO
PROVIDE USEABLE OPEN SPACE TO MEET THE RECREATIONAL NEEDS OF RESIDENTS
[ii1fI1i611Q&1 :100111 uIut"OIalm
Goal Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends Goal be revised.
The Goal needs to be renumbered to reflect the deletion of Goal 2 and expand upon the full integration
of mobility options to the County's park system as suggested below.
GOAL 2: THE COUNTY SHALL PROMOTE A PARK SYSTEM THAT INCLUDES REGIONAL,
COMMUN/TYAND NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS WITH PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS AND BIKE LANES
TO PROVIDE USEABLE OPEN SPACE TO MEET THE RECREATIONAL NEEDS OF RESIDENTS
WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. REGIONAL AND COMMUNITY PARK DEVELOPMENT WILL BE
BASED ON THE LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARD (LOSS) CONTAINED IN THE CIE).
OBJECTIVE 3.1: By the year 2010, the Parks and Recreation Department will develop a
Community and Regional Park Plan to provide larger parks and recreational facilities as well
as passive open space within a 15 to 20 minute drive of residents within the coastal Urban
Designated Area, the Immokalee Urban Designated Area, and Northern Golden Gate Estates
(this excludes Conservation designated areas, Agricultural /Rural designated areas, Southern
7
Recreation and Open Space Element - ROSE
Golden Gate Estates, and the outlying Urban Designated Areas of Copeland, Port of the
Islands, Plantation Island and Chokoloskee). This plan will include the identification of future
community and regional park sites (or general areas), park improvements, cost estimates, and n
potential funding sources. The principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
(CPTED) will be integrated into the planning and development of the Community and Regional
Park sites.
Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions.
The County has been unable to complete the Parks Master Plan by 2010, but at the time of the
transmission of the EAR to the Department, the majority of the work on the Master Plan will be in
progress with the completion of the effort to occur in 2011. The policy will be revised to reflect the
adoption of the Parks Master Plan by the Board of County Commissioners.
Policy 3.1.1: The Parks and Recreation Department will acquire land to meet the needs of the
Community and Regional Park Plan, including sufficient land to allow for a portion of these
sites to remain in passive open space.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions.
The numbering will need to be changed to reflect deletion of Goal 2. The policy still reflects current
intent related to meeting the needs of Community and Regional Park Acquisition.
Policy 3.1.2: The Parks and Recreation Department will be responsible for the design and construction of
all new community and regional parks.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions.
The numbering will need to be changed to reflect deletion of Goal 2. The Parks Recreation
Department shall continue to be responsible for the design and construction of all new community and
regional parks. Their professional knowledge concerning park design is essential in the development
of these projects. The construction of all new facilities will be designed to satisfy the current Level of
Service Standards contained in the ROSE and the CIE.
Policy 3.1.3: The County shall continue to partner with Collier County Public Schools to co-
locate parks in conjunction with new school sites as such sites are identified and developed
and /or to provide County recreational programs at Collier County Public Schools' facilities.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions.
The numbering will need to be changed to reflect deletion of Goal 2. This policy meets current need
and promotes the concept of co- location expressed within the Public Schools Facilities Element
(PSFE) of the GMP.
Policy 3.1.4: The County shall continue to update parks and recreation impact fees to keep
pace with increased land acquisition and development costs for the establishment of
community and regional parks.
S
Recreation and Open Space Element - ROSE
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions.
The numbering will need to be changed to reflect deletion of Goal 2. In addition, recommend
removing the text increased from the policy due to current economic environment and providing for a
predetermination of market value.
Policy 3.1.5: The County shall investigate the utilization of tax credits or other incentives to
encourage property owners to dedicate land to the County to meet the recreational needs of
community and regional parks.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions.
The numbering will need to be changed to reflect deletion of Goal 2. Current policy meets the needs
of the acquisition of lands related to regional and community parks.
Policy 3.1.6: The County shall encourage the development of pedestrian pathways and bike
lanes from the surrounding residential communities to park sites where general public access
can be supported.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions.
The numbering will need to be changed to reflect deletion of Goal 2. Current policy meets the needs
of the development of pedestrian pathways and bike lanes.
Policy 3.1.7: By the year 2010, the Parks and Recreation Department and the Transportation
n Services Division will investigate the utilization of the existing canal and power line easements
to create a greenway system within the coastal Urban Designated Area, the Immokalee Urban
Designated Area, and Northern Golden Gate Estates (this excludes Conservation designated
areas, Agricultural /Rural designated areas, Southern Golden Gate Estates, and the outlying
Urban designated areas of Copeland, Port of the Islands, Plantation Island and Chokoloskee).
n
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text revisions.
The numbering will need to be changed to reflect deletion of Goal 2. This effort has been initiated and
will be integrated as a component of the Parks Master Plan. The policy may be revised further based
upon the conclusion of the Master Plan effort.

Assessment of the Successes and Shortcomings
n and Recommendations
for the Conservation and Coastal Management Element
A. Background and Introduction
The Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Growth Management Plan provides the
County the guidance to: manage coastal systems and historic resources, and maintain shoreline lands
and infrastructure so as to enhance environmental, recreational, and economic opportunities and
protect human life; protect, conserve and manage natural systems, and vegetative and land resources;
and, where appropriate, enhance air and water quality.
The Conservation and Coastal Management Element includes thirteen (13) Goals and associated
objectives and policies. These Goals are summarized as follows:
1. Protection of natural re §6urces;
2. Protection of surface and estuarine water resources;
3. Protection of groundwater resources;
4. Protection of freshwater resources;
5. Protection of mineral and soil resources;
6. Protection of native vegetation and wildlife habitat;
7. Protection of fisheries and wildlife;
8. Maintenance of existing air quality;
9. Management of hazardous materials and hazardous wastes;
10. Protection of coastal resources;
11. Protection of historic resources;
12. Hurricane evacuation and sheltering; and,
13. Avoiding duplication of regulations
During the reporting period for this Evaluation and Appraisal Report, the County has been successful
in furthering the Element's overall purposes of: protecting and conserving natural resources; protecting
human life and property along the coast; and, protecting and managing watersheds and estuarine areas.
The County has implemented and maintained various programs and regulatory controls that have been
instrumental in protecting and conserving wetlands, listed species habitat and other areas appropriate
for protection; these include, but are not limited to: (1) The Stewardship Program in the Rural Lands
Stewardship Area Overlay; (2) The Transfer of Development Rights Program in the Rural Fringe
Mixed Use District; (3) The Conservation Collier land acquisition program; and (4) Regulatory
controls within the Conservation and Coastal Management Element and the Land Development Code.
Additionally, the County continues to maintain timely hurricane evacuation and sheltering practices;
constructed the new James V. Mudd Emergency Services Center with state of the art equipment;
maintains water quality and monitoring programs; continues the development of watershed
management plans; continues periodic beach renourishment and dredging projects; and, continues to
monitor sea turtle nesting.
Preparation of this Section of the Evaluation & Appraisal Report (EAR) involved coordination
between Comprehensive Planning staff and the following departments /sections: Land Development
1
CONSER VATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
Services Department — Zoning Services Section, Stormwater and Environmental Planning Section,
Engineering Services Section; Public Utilities Engineering and Water Departments; Pollution Control n
Department; Parks and Recreation Department; Coastal Zone Management Department; Facilities
Department — Conservation Collier; and the Bureau of Emergency Services. Changes are proposed to
the following Objectives and Policies.
B. Objective Analysis
OBJECTIVE 1.1:
Collier County will continue to develop and implement a comprehensive environmental
management and conservation program, which will ensure that the natural resources,
including State and Federally listed animal species, of Collier County are properly,
appropriately, and effectively identified, managed, and protected.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
Collier County continues to operate the program described in this Objective.
This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be revised to
reflect that the program is ongoing.
Policy Relevance:
Policy 1.1.3:
Collier County shall continue to support established environmental policies by maintaining an
appropriately administered and professionally staffed governmental unit capable of n
developing, administering, and providing long -term direction for the protection and
management of the County's environmental resources.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The County continues to support established environmental policies by maintaining an appropriately
administered and professionally staffed governmental unit capable of developing, administering, and
providing long -term direction for the protection and management of the County's environmental
resources.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained.
[Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting
that the financial feasibility of achieving the Policy objectives with limited staff resources be
evaluated]
Policy 1.1.6:
In those areas of Collier County where oil extraction and related processing is an allowable
use, such use is subject to applicable state and federal oil and gas permits and Collier County
non - environmental site development plan review procedures. Directional - drilling and /or
previously cleared or disturbed areas shall be utilized in order to minimize impacts to native
habitats, where determined to be practicable. This requirement shall be deemed satisfied upon
issuance of a state permit in compliance with the criteria established in Chapter 62C -25
through 62C -30, F.A.C., as those rules exist on the effective date of this amendment to the
Collier County Comprehensive Plan, regardless of whether the activity occurs within the Big
Cypress Watershed, as defined in Rule 62C- 30.001(2), F.A.C. All applicable Collier County
2
CONSERVATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
environmental permitting requirements shall be considered satisfied by evidence of the
issuance of all applicable federal and /or state oil and gas permits for proposed oil and gas
n activities in Collier County, so long as the state permits comply with the requirements of
Chapter 62C -25 through 62C -30, F.A.C. For those areas of Collier County outside the boundary
of the Big Cypress Watershed, the applicant shall be responsible for convening the Big
Cypress Swamp Advisory Committee as set forth in Section 377.42, F.S., to assure compliance
with Chapter 62C -25 through 62C -30, F.A.C. even if outside the defined Big Cypress
Watershed. All access roads to oil and gas uses shall be constructed and protected from
unauthorized uses according to the standards established in Rule 62C- 30.005(2)(a)(1) through
(12), F.A.C.
Policy Achievement Analysis.
Policy 1. 1.6 outlines the environmental review criteria for oil extraction and related processing, where
oil extraction and related processing is an allowable use in the County.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to include
the effective date of the amendment.
OBJECTIVE 1.2:
Maintain the framework for an integrated, computer -based environmental resources data
storage, analysis, and graphics system and annually update the databases based on previous
year's analytical data in order to monitor the status of the County's natural resources and
propose potential protection measures when appropriate.
Objective Achievement Anal
n The Collier County Environmental Planning Section maintains a robust, GIS -based system (ESRI's
ArcGIS) that will be updated annually.
This Objective remains relevant and should be retained.
[Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting
that the Objective address /include provisions for quality of data, analysis of data, and availability of
data; and, the Environmental Planning Section maintain copies of, and an index to, analyses
performed on these GIS -based data.]
Policy Relevance
Policy 1.2.3:
Collected and /or compiled data will be organized by established water -shed and sub -basin
units.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Most of this data is in GIS format, so there is no need or benefit to organize it by watershed.
The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be modified to
require watershed dependent data only be organized by watershed and sub -basin units.
n (Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting
that text be added to the Policy that ensures data quality.]

CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
[Planning Commission Comment from the August 27 2010 EAR Workshop —Suggesting that the
Policy be revised to read, "Non GIS -based data collected will be organized by established watershed n
and sub -basin units. 'I
Policy 1.2.5
Collier County's computerized environmental resources data storage, analysis and graphics
system shall share information and resources with other Federal, State, Regional, local and
private environmental management agencies and organizations and the general public. The
County shall cooperate with these other entities when updating its system in order that the
benefits of the updated system may be shared with all appropriate agencies and organizations.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Provisions for working cooperatively with other agencies and sharing data with the public are in the
preceding policies.
This Policy is no longer relevant and should be deleted.
OBJECTIVE 1.3:
Pursuant to Administration Commission Final Order AC -99 -002 dated June 22, 1999, the
County has completed the phased delineation, data gathering, management guidelines and
implementation of the Natural Resources Protection Area (NRPA) program as part of the
required Collier County Rural and Agricultural Assessment. Through this Assessment, the
County has determined that the NRPA program is not the only mechanism to protect
significant environmental systems. Accordingly, within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area
Overlay in the Future Land Use Element, the County has delineated Stewardship Sending
Areas that will function to protect large environmental systems. Pursuant to the following
policies, the County shall protect identified environmental systems through the NRPA and
Rural Lands Sterardship programs.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be rewritten
for clarity (i.e. formatting).
Policy Relevance:
Policy 1.3.1:
The purpose of the NRPA program is to direct incompatible land uses away from significant
environmental systems that exist at a landscape scale, contain large systems of connected
wetland and upland habitats, and support a wide variety of listed species. The program will
include the following:
a. Identification of the NRPAs in map form as an overlay to the Future Land Use Map;
During the Assessment for the Rural Fringe area, the County has determined that CREW
Trust lands, Belle Meade, a portion of the Northern Belle Meade shall be identified as
NRPAs. The County also has determined that the South Golden Gate Estates is a NPRA.
The specific boundaries have been identified as NRPAs on the Future Land Use Map.
b. A process for verifying the existence and boundaries of NRPAs during development
permit applications;
4
CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
c. Guidelines and standards for development of NRPAs including conservation guidelines
to protect natural resource values, to maintain ecologically functioning systems, and to
restore or mitigate NRPAs already degraded. Allowable land uses,
vegetation preservation standards, development standards, and listed species
protection criteria for the NRPAs are those contained in the NRPA Overlay within the
Future Land Use Element.
d. A review process, integrated into the normal development application review, to ensure
that the guidelines and standards are being met;
e. A program to defer development of NRPAs. First consideration should be fee simple
purchase (based on public referenda approving and funding purchases). Other options
should include, but not be limited to, tax incentives and transfer of development rights;
f. A program to pursue Delegation of Authority Agreements with State and Federal
Permitting agencies for local regulation of activities that may alter the biological and
physical characteristics of NRPAs;
g. The County shall seek assistance from and support State (e.g. CARL, SOR) or Federal
land acquisition programs for County areas qualifying as NRPAs.
Policy Achievement Analy
The County established Natural Resource Protection Areas (NRPAs) to direct incompatible land uses
away from significant environmental systems that exist at a landscape scale, contain large systems of
connected wetland and upland habitats, and support a wide variety of listed species. The Policy also
provides information regarding the relationship of the NRPAs to the Rural and Agricultural Area
Assessment. Finally, the Policy requires the County to seek assistive from, and support, state and/or
federal land acquisition programs for areas qualifying as NRPAs; Conservation Collier identifies
nominated properties within Federal and State acquisition areas and coordinates with the agencies to
n make them aware of willing sellers within their acquisition areas.
T his Policy remains relevant and should be retained.
[Environmental Advisory Council (EAQ Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting
to delete the acronym "CARL " and insert "Florida Forever "; and spell -out the acronym, "SOR " -
Save Our Rivers.]
Policy 1.3.4:
Guided by the Technical Advisory Committee, designate and adopt management guidelines
and performance standards for County natural resource protection areas. Implementation
shall occur on an annual basis as NRPAs and their implementation criteria are developed.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The Policy objectives have been achieved as part of the Growth Management Plan amendments to
satisfy the Final Order.
This Policy is no longer relevant and should be deleted.
OBJECTIVE 2.1:
By January 2008, the County shall complete the prioritization and begin the process of
preparing Watershed Management Plans, which contain appropriate mechanisms to protect
the County's estuarine and wetland systems. The process shall consist of (1) an evaluation of
areas for which Watershed Management Plans are not necessary based on current or past
watershed management planning efforts, (2) an assessment of available data and information
that can be used in the development of Watershed Management Plans, and (3) budget
S
CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
authorization to begin preparation of the first Watershed Management Plan by January 2008.
A funding schedule shall be established to ensure that all Watershed Management Plans will
be completed by 2010. In selecting the order of Plan completion, the County shall give
priority to watersheds where the development growth potential is greatest and will impact the
greatest amount of wetland and listed species habitats. The schedule and priorities shall also
be coordinated with the Federal and State agency plans that address Total Maximum Daily
Loads (TMDLs). Until the Watershed Management Plans are completed, the County shall apply
the following as interim standards for development:
a. All new development and re- development projects shall meet 150% of the water quality
volumetric requirements of Section 5.2.1(a) of the Basis of Review for Environmental
Resource Permit Applications Within the South Florida Water Management District
(February 2006) and the retention and detention requirements, and the allowable offsite
discharge rates required by Drainage Sub - element Policy 6.2 and 6.3, respectively;
b. Loss of storage or conveyance volume resulting from direct impacts to wetlands shall
be compensated for by providing an equal amount of storage or conveyance capacity
on site and within or adjacent to the impacted wetland.
C. Floodplain storage compensation shall be evaluated for developments within the
designated flood zones "A ", "AE ", and "VE" as depicted on the Flood Insurance Rate
Maps published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency with an effective date
of November 17, 2005. Floodplain storage compensation shall also be evaluated for
areas known to be periodically inundated by intense rainfall or sheetflow conditions.
d. All development located within areas identified on Figure 1 shall be evaluated to
determine impacts to natural wetlands, flowways, or sloughs. For this particular
evaluation, natural wetlands, flowways, or sloughs shall be tentatively identified as
contiguous lands having a continual preponderance of wetland or wet facultative plant
species and a ground elevation through the major portion of the natural wetland,
flowway, or slough at least one (1) foot lower than the ground at the edge of the natural n
wetland, flowway, or slough. The edge of the natural wetlands, flowways, or sloughs
shall be identified by field determination and based upon vegetation and elevation
differences from the adjacent uplands or transitional wetlands. The County shall
require the applicant to avoid direct impacts to these natural wetlands, flowways, or
sloughs or, when not possible, to ensure any direct impact is minimized and
compensated for by providing the same conveyance capacity lost by the direct impact.
The County shall adhere to the limiting discharge rates of each basin as outlined in
Ordinance 2001 -27, adopted May 22, 2001 which amended the County Water
Management Policy and provided basin delineations where special peak discharge
rates have been established. The limiting discharge rates will be reviewed as a part of
the Watershed Management Plans, and modified according to the analyses and findings
of the Watershed Management Plans.
e. All new development and re- development projects shall ensure surrounding properties
will not be adversely impacted from the project's influence on stormwater sheet flow.
f. Prior to the issuance of a final development order, the County shall require all
development projects to obtain the necessary state and federal environmental permits.
g. Within one year of the effective date of these amendments, the County shall adopt land
development regulations to require Best Management Practices of future development
or re- development projects. Best Management Practices means structural and non-
structural facilities or practices intended to reduce pollution either through source
control or treatment of stormwater.

Objective Achievement Analysis:
Collier County is currently involved in the development of the Watershed Management Plans. The
n County completed the initial delineation and prioritization of the watersheds by the end of November
2007. Dedicated funding for development of the Watershed Management Plans was also obtained and
set aside in 2007. The County coordinated with the Florida Department of Emergency Management
coastal Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) aerial topographic mapping effort to obtain more
detailed and expanded coverage of the County. The County also coordinated with the South Florida
Water Management District to utilize their existing two- dimensional regional hydrologic and hydraulic
model for southwest Florida as a starting tool in the development of the Watershed Management Plans.
The County utilized the various policies under CCME Objective 2.1 to form the basis for the Scope of
Services and then hired a consultant team to prepare the Watershed Management Plans. The work is in
progress and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2010.
This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be modified to
reflect completed work, and the first sentence in (c) reworded as follows, "Floodplain storage
compensation shall be evaluated for developments within the designated Special Flood Hazard Area
(flood zones starting with the letter "V" or "A ") as depicted on the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map
published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency."

Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the South Florida Water Management District,
the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other governmental agencies. The County will take the lead
and oversee the preparation of the necessary watershed management plans, and will rely upon
the work performed or data collected by other agencies, to the extent that these agencies have
data and /or experience, which may be useful within the watershed basin planning and
management process.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
This Policy describes the Scope of Services for the development of the Watershed Management Plans.
The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be modified to reflect
work completed and that the listed activities are on- going.
OBJECTIVE 2.2:
All canals, rivers, and flow ways discharging into estuaries shall meet all applicable Federal,
State, or local water quality standards.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective has not been met, because there are several water bodies in Collier County that do not
meet Federal or State water quality standards. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(FDEP) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency have finalized the list of those water
bodies that do not meet water quality standards, and in 2008 FDEP developed Total Maximum Daily
Loads for these water bodies. The Watershed Management Plans being developed by Collier County
will address these water bodies.
Water quality improvement initiatives have been taken within Collier County to address some water
quality issues. A new water quality treatment system referred to as Freedom Park has been constructed
to treat the water within the Gordon River. In addition the Lake Trafford dredging project, which is
8
CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
currently ongoing, has been removing the muck on the bottom of the lake in order to improve the
lake's water quality and prevent future fish kills.
Collier County Pollution Control continues to implement numerous proactive programs designed to
protect the County's surface water quality from man-made pollution sources. However, due to natural
conditions impacting the water quality found in Collier County, some federal and state water quality
conditions may not be achievable. Therefore, Collier County will continue to take all necessary
actions to maintain the highest attainable level of surface water quality within its watersheds.
This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be reworded
similar to Goal 3 to read, "to attain the highest water quality practical."

Policy 2.2.4 requires the continuation and expansion of the County's water quality sampling program.
Collier County Pollution Control Department (CCPCD) continues monitoring a fixed network of
surface water stations throughout the county. The network is evaluated every 3 years to determine the
relevancy of the sampling sites. If water quality problems are found that may impact public health, a
very intensive study area (VISA) is initiated to determine the source of the water quality problems.
The surface water quality data were assessed in 2007 by CCPCD; in 2008 by the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection under the Impaired Waters Rule Assessment; and will be reassessed in
2010 by CCPCD.

Policy 2.2.5:
By December 31, 2008, and no less than every three years, stormwater management systems
shall be inspected and certified by a licensed Florida professional engineer for compliance
with their approved design, and any deficiencies shall be corrected.
Policy Achievement Anal:
The deadline for Policy 2.2.5 has not been met, and the County has not identified stormwater
management systems that are not currently meeting State water quality treatment standards. The
County is developing a process for stormwater management systems, which is expected to be
completed by December 2015.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be revised to reflect
an extended deadline to December 2015; and include a requirement to coordinate activities with the
South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and FDEP.

OBJECTIVE 2.3:
All estuaries shall meet all applicable federal, state and local water quality standards.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
This Objective has not been met. Not all estuaries meet Federal or State water quality standards. The
Watershed Management Plans developed by the County will address measures to bring these water
bodies into compliance with State and Federal water quality standards. Currently, the County monitors
its water quality through the collection and evaluation of ground water and surface water samples.
This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be revised to
include the development of a plan, in coordination with the FDEP, to meet applicable federal, state and
local water quality standards.

Policy Relevance:
Policy 2.3.4:
Continue to implement and refine a water quality and sediment monitoring program for the
estuarine system.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Department implemented a water quality monitoring program
in October of 2008. A water quality monitoring plan was written and approved. The Monitoring Plan
n follows FDEP's Standard Operating Procedures and the Pollution Control Department's Lab
Procedures. Water quality sampling has been conducted in Cocohatchee Estuary for over a year; a
draft report of the data has been written. Also, water quality sampling started in November of 2009 in
11

for a fertilizer ordinance to reduce discharges of nutrients into waterways.]
Policy 2.3.6:
The County will only allow development activities which will not adversely impact coastal
water resources. This is implemented through the following mechanisms:
a. Require all applicable Federal and State permits addressing water quality to be
submitted to Collier County before Collier County issues a Final Development Order.
b. Excluding single family homes, any project impacting 5 acres or more of wetlands must
provide a pre and post development water quality analysis to demonstrate no increase in
nutrient, biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, lead, zinc and copper
loading in the post development scenario.
C. By January 2008, the County shall undertake an assessment of the current model used
to evaluate pre and post development pollutant loadings referenced in (b) of this Policy.
At a minimum, the purpose of this assessment will be to verify the accuracy of the model
and to provide data evaluating stormwater management structure design. In reviewing
the accuracy of the model, the County will include an evaluation of the reduction of lake
depths with time and the corresponding loss of retention volume, the impact of lake
stratification, and the need for aeration. The assessment will also include the sampling
of runoff from undisturbed sites and from permitted stormwater outfalls for the
parameters listed in Paragraph (b) of this Policy _nr pesticides. The results of the
assessment and recommendations regarding the pollutant loading analysis, revisions to
current model methodology, potential regulatory restrictions, and further monitoring
shall be presented to the Board of County Commissioners for further direction.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Policy 2.3.6 requires the County to only allow development activities which will not adversely impact
coastal water resources. This is to be implemented by 1) requiring applicable Federal and State permits
addressing water quality to be submitted to Collier County before Collier County issues a Final
Development Order, 2) require projects, excluding single family homes, impacting 5 acres or more of
wetlands to provide a pre and post development water quality analysis to demonstrate no increase in
nutrient, biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, lead, zinc and copper loading in the post
development scenario and 3) undertake an assessment of the current model used to evaluate these pre
and post development pollutant loadings.
Regarding, a pre - development vs. post- development analysis for nutrients, BOD, TSS, Pb, Zn, and Cu,
LDC section 10.02.02 A.4.f indicates that the analysis shall be performed using "approved
methodologies" and only requires the analysis on nutrients. The methodology that has been used by the
US Army Corps of Engineers and is being developed by the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection is limited to nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus).
The original state stormwater regulations were based on a standard of 80 % removal of TSS. Current
evaluations of Florida stormwater regulation indicate the design needs to address increasing
12
CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
111_\
concentrations of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) in surface and ground water. Additionally other
significant pollutants are more easily removed than nitrogen or phosphorus (Harper, 2007). The draft
permitting handbook for the update of the state stormwater rule includes analysis only for nitrogen and
phosphorus loadings (FDEP, 2009). In the new model the pre development conditions are now
considered to be the conditions represented by the SWFFS Natural Systems Model. (This analysis
model is very similar to that proposed in Evaluation of Alternative Stormwater Regulations for
Southwest Florida, 2003)." The model proposed in the new stormwater rule is the preferred analysis,
by staff.
The FDEP evaluation of the stormwater rules in preparation of development of the proposed state -wide
stormwater rule addressed the issues identified in section c. Harper (2007) indicates that in wet
detention systems, nutrient treatment is primarily through the production of algae. He recommends that
only the top 12 feet of un -mixed systems be considered in the water quality treatment requirement.
(Deeper depths are recognized as storage of solids and treatment for other constituents.) This is also
the recommendation of the "Applicant's Handbook" for the proposed rule. The choice of whether to
aerate /mix wet detention systems or not is left to the applicant, but the treatment is only based on the
aerated portion. Additionally, the monitoring of solids accumulation to identify when impacts to
treatment volume is required annually. FDEP also studied runoff from native vegetative communities
(Harper 2009) and reported runoff characteristics for nutrients and metals.
Due to the change in emphasis of state regulatory programs limiting the loading analysis to nutrients
and the studies that have been produced by FDEP to support the proposed stormwater rule, Collier
County recommends removing the requirement for TSS, BOD, Pb, Zn, and Cu from the Policy in
section b, and delete section c.

OBJECTIVE 3.1:
Ground water quality shall meet all applicable Federal and State water quality standards.
Ground water quality shall be monitored in order to determine whether development activities
are contributing to the degradation of Collier County's ground water quality. Ground water
data and land use activities will be assessed annually to determine long -term trends and
whether the County is meeting Federal and State regulatory standards for ground water
quality. The County shall require ground water monitoring of land uses in accordance with
Chapters 62 -520, 62 -550 and 62 -777 of the Florida Administrative Code. Upon the detection of
any ground water degradation determined through the monitoring process, the County will
notify the appropriate regulatory agencies.
In a coordinated effort with the United States Geological Survey (USGS), or of its own accord,
the County shall institute a groundwater monitoring network by 2008, including the
comprehensive inventory of monitoring wells, an assessment of monitoring wells previously
damaged, and policies to make appropriate well repairs and replacements.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
Collier County continues to implement numerous proactive programs designed to protect the County's
ground water quality from man-made pollution sources. However, due to natural conditions impacting
the water quality found in Collier County, some federal and state water quality conditions may not be
achievable. Suggest Objective be worded similar to goal to "ensure highest water quality practical ". A
groundwater monitoring network was established by the County's Pollution Control Department in
2006. This monitoring network monitors seventy (70) ground water monitoring wells semiannually;
dry and wet season. These wells provide limited monitoring of the following land uses; agriculture,
n commercial, golf course, park, rural residential, urban residential, utilities and wetland. Groundwater
quality is assessed annually and provided to the appropriate regulatory agencies for further
investigation of exceedances of State and Federal ground water quality standards. This network of
monitoring wells encompasses wells owned by USGS, City of Naples, Collier County Wastewater
Department and Collier County Water Department. Any monitoring well repairs or replacements
would be done at the owner's discretion.
In addition, Section 3.06 of the County's Land Development Code (Ground Water Protection) was
developed to protect existing and future wellfields, protect natural aquifer system recharge areas,
protect Countywide groundwater resources, and to protect the public health and resources through
regulation and establishment of standards for development involving the use, storage, generation,
handling, and disposal of quantities of hazardous products and hazardous waste in excess of identified
quantities, disposal of sewage and effluent, storm water management, earth mining, petroleum
exploration, solid waste, and other related aspects of land use and development.
Since a groundwater monitoring network was established in 2006, suggest Objective 3.1 be revised to
replace the second paragraph with "The County shall continue to institute a groundwater monitoring
network."
This Objective remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Objective should be revised to
reflect the establishment of the monitoring network in 2006; include in first sentence of Objective the
phrase, "to ensure highest water quality practical "; and, include a reference that monitoring activities
are ongoing.

OBJECTIVE 6.1:
The County shall protect native vegetative communities through the application of minimum
preservation requirements. The following policies provide criteria to make this objective
measurable. These policies shall apply to all of Collier County except for that portion of the
County which is identified on the Countywide Future Land Use Map (FLUM) as the Rural Lands
Stewardship Area Overlay.
[This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed]
Policy Relevance:
Policy 6.1.1:
For the County's Urban Designated Area, Estates Designated Area, Conservation Designated
Area, and Agricultural /Rural Mixed Use District, Rural- Industrial District and Rural- Settlement
Area District as designated on the FLUM, native vegetation shall be preserved through the
application of the following preservation and vegetation retention standards and criteria,
unless the development occurs within the Area of Critical State Concern (ACSC) where the
ACSC standards referenced in the Future Land Use Element shall apply. Notwithstanding the
ACSC requirements, this policy shall apply to all non - agricultural development except for
single - family dwelling units situated on individual parcels that are not located within a
19
CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
watershed management conservation area identified in a Watershed Management Plan
developed pursuant to policies supporting Objective 2.1 of this Element.
The following standards and criteria shall apply to the vegetation retention requirements
referenced above.
(1) For the purpose of this policy, "native vegetation" is defined as a vegetative community
having 25% or more canopy coverage or highest existing vegetative strata of native
plant species. The vegetation retention requirements specified in this policy are
calculated based on the amount of "native vegetation" that conforms to this definition.
(2) The preservation of native vegetation shall include canopy, under -story and ground
cover emphasizing the largest contiguous area possible, which may include connection
to offsite preserves. The purpose for identifying the largest contiguous area is to
provide for a core area that has the greatest potential for wildlife habitat by reducing the
interface between the preserve area and development which decreases the conflicts
from other land uses. Criteria for determining the dimensional standards of the
preserve are to be set out in the Land Development Code.
(3) Areas that fulfill the native vegetation retention standards and criteria of this policy
shall be set aside as preserve areas. On -site and off -site preserve areas shall be
protected by a permanent conservation mechanism to prohibit further development,
consistent with the requirements of this policy. The type of permanent conservation
mechanism, including conservation easements, required for a specific development
may vary based on preserve area size, type of development approval, and other factors,
as set forth in the County's land development regulations.

(4) Selection of native vegetation to be retained as preserve areas shall reflect the
following criteria in descending order of priority:
a. Wetland or upland areas known to be utilized by listed species or that serve as
corridors for the movement of wildlife shall be preserved and protected in order to
facilitate the continued use of the site by listed species or the movement through the
site, consistent with the requirements of Policy 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 of this element.
b. Xeric Scrub, Dune and Strand, Hardwood Hammocks.
c. Onsite wetlands having functionality scores of at least 0.65 WRAP or 0.7 UMAM,
unless permitted for impact pursuant to Policy 6.2.4 of this Element. WRAP means
South Florida Water Management District's Wetland Rapid Assessment Procedures
as described in Technical Publication Reg 001 (September 1997, as updated August
1999). UMAM means Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method as described
in Chapter 62 -345, F.A.C.
d. Any upland habitat that serves as a buffer to a wetland area as identified in
Paragraph (4)c. above,
e. Dry Prairie, Pine Flatwoods, and
f. All other native habitats.
(5) The uses allowable within preserve areas are limited to:
a. Passive recreational uses that do not impact the minimum required vegetation or
cause a loss of function to the preserve area. Loss of function to the preserve area
includes a reduction or a change in vegetation within the preserve and harming any
listed species present in the preserve. More specific standards that implement this
policy shall be set forth in the land development regulations and will address
various types of construction that are compatible with the function of the preserve.
The land development regulations will also provide criteria to define appropriate
passive recreational uses. The criteria will be established to allow for passive
recreational uses such as trails or boardwalks that provide for access within the
preserves, providing the uses do not reduce the minimum required vegetation or
cause harm to listed species.
b. Receipt of treated stormwater discharge where such use, including conveyance,
treatment and discharge structures, does not result in adverse impacts the naturally
occurring, native vegetation, to include the loss of the minimum required vegetation
and the harm to any listed species according to the policies associated with
Objective 7.1, as determined by criteria set forth in land development regulations.
Discharge to preserves having wetlands requires treatment that will meet water
quality standards as set forth in Chapter 62 -302. F.A.C. and will conform to the water
quality criteria requirements set forth by the South Florida Water Management
District.
(6) A management plan shall be submitted for preserve areas identified by specific criteria
in the land development regulations to identify actions that must be taken to ensure
that the preserved areas will maintain natural diversity and will function as proposed.
The plan shall include methods to address control and treatment of invasive exotic
species, fire management, stormwater management (if applicable), and maintenance
of permitted facilities. If applicable, a listed species monitoring program shall be
submitted pursuant to Policy 7.1.2 (2) (i). State and federal management plans
consistent with the requirements of the LDC will be accepted.
(7) Until the land development regulations addressed in Policy 6.1.1(11) are developed,
exceptions, by means of mitigation in the form of increased landscape requirements
shall be granted for parcels that cannot reasonably accommodate both the
n preservation area and the proposed activity. Criteria for allowing these exceptions
include:
(a) Where site elevations or conditions requires placement of fill thereby harming or
reducing the survivability of the native vegetation in its existing locations;
21
CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
(b) Where the existing vegetation required by this policy is located where proposed
site improvements are to be located and such improvements cannot be relocated as to
protect the existing native vegetation; n
(c) 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
nature vegetation.
(8) Parcels that were legally cleared of native vegetation prior to January 1989 shall be
exempt from this requirement.
(9) Should the amount of wetland vegetation exceed the minimum vegetation requirements
as specified herein, retention of wetland vegetation having significant habitat or
hydrologic value is encouraged. Increased preservation shall be fostered thro
incentives including, but not limited to: clustered development, reduced developn
standards such as open space, setbacks, and landscape buffers, to allow for increased
areas of preserved wetland vegetation. Significant habitat or hydrologic value is
determined by wetland function, not the size of the wetland.
(10) Within one year of the effective date of these amendments, the County shall adopt land
development regulations that allow for a process whereby a property owner may submit
a petition requesting that all or a portion of the native vegetation preservation retention
requirement to be satisfied by a monetary payment, land donation that contains native
vegetative communities equal to or of a higher priority as described in Policy 6.1.1 (4)
than the land being impacted, or other appropriate method of compensation to an
acceptable land acquisition program, as required by the land development regulations.
The monetary payment shall be used to purchase and manage native vegetative
communities off -site. The land development regulations shall provide criteria to
determine when this alternative will be considered. The criteria will be based upon the
following provisions: n
a. The amount, type, rarity and quality of the native vegetation on site;
b. The presence of conservation lands adjoining the site;
c. The presence of listed species and consideration of Federal and State agency
technical assistance;
d. The type of land use proposed, such as, but not limited to, affordable housing;
e. The size of the preserve required to remain on site is too small to ensure that the
preserve can remain functional; and
f. Right of Way acquisitions for all purposes necessary for roadway construction,
including ancillary drainage facilities, and including utilities within the right of way
acquisition area.
The land development regulations shall include a methodology to establish the
monetary value, land donation, or other appropriate method of compensation to ensure
that native vegetative communities not preserved on -site will be preserved and
appropriately managed off -site.
(11) Right of Way acquisitions by any governmental entity for all purposes necessary for
roadway construction, including ancillary drainage facilities, and including utilities
within the right of way acquisition area, shall be exempt from mitigation requirements.
(12) Although the primary intent of this Policy is to retain and protect existing native
vegetation, there are situations where the application of the retention requirements of
this Policy is not possible. In these cases, creation or restoration of vegetation to
satisfy all or a portion of the native vegetation retention requirements may be allowed.
Within one year of the effective date of these amendments, the County shall adopt land
development regulations to determine the circumstances for when creation or
restoration is allowed and to specify criteria for creation and restoration.
(13) The County may grant a deviation to the native vegetation retention requirements of
this Policy, except for the Native Vegetation Retention Requirements Table, and
22
CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
provisions in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7. Within one year of the effective date of these
amendments, the County shall adopt land development regulations to set forth the
n process for obtaining a deviation. The regulations shall allow for the granting of a
deviation by the appropriate review board after a public hearing, and for the granting of
a deviation administratively. The County shall consider the amount and type of native
vegetation and the presence of listed species in determining whether the granting of a
deviation requires a public hearing, or may be granted administratively.
The County may grant a deviation if:
a. County, Federal or State agencies require that site improvements be located in areas
which result in an inability to meet the provisions of this Policy, or
b. On or off -site environmental conditions are such that the application of one or more
provisions of this Policy is not possible or will result in a preserve area of lesser
quality, or
c. The strict adherence to these provisions will not allow for the implementation of
other Plan policies that encourage beneficial land uses.

CONSER VATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
A minimum of 40% of the native vegetation present, not to exceed 25% of the total site
area shall be preserved.
b. Neutral Lands: n
A minimum of 60% of the native vegetation present, not to exceed 45% of the total site
area shall be preserved, except that, for Section 24, Township 49 South, Range 26 East,
located in the North Belle Meade Overlay, a minimum of 70% of the native vegetation
present, not to exceed 70% of the total site area, shall be preserved. Additionally, for
residential development in Section 24, if the dwelling units are not clustered, a
minimum of 90% of the slash pine trees present shall be retained. Further restrictions
are identified in the North Belle Meade Overlay in the FLUE. [The preceding 2
sentences in italics were adopted 1/25/07 but will NOT be applied or implemented by
Collier County. They relate to text in the Future Land Use Element's North Belle Meade
Overlay that was found to be "not in compliance" by the Florida Department of
Community Affairs in letter dated 5/1/07.]
c. Non -NRPA Sending Lands:
Calculated at the higher value of 80% of the native vegetation present, or as may
otherwise be permitted under the Density Rating provisions of the FLUE;
d. NRPA Sending Lands:
Calculated at the higher value of 90% of the native vegetation present, or as may
otherwise be permitted under the Density Blending provisions of the FLUE.
e. Provisions a. through d. above shall also be consistent with the wetland protection
policies set forth under CCME Objective 6.2.
f. In order to ensure reasonable use and to protect the private property rights of owners
of smaller parcels of land within lands designated Rural Fringe Mixed Use District on
the Future Land Use Map, including nonconforming lots of record which existed on or
before June 22, 1999, for lots, parcels or fractional units of land or water equal to or
less than five (5) acres in size, native vegetation clearing shall be allowed, at 20% or
25,000 square feet of the lot or parcel or fractional unit, whichever is greater, exclusive
of any clearing necessary to provide for a 15 -foot wide access drive up to 660 feet in
length. For lots and parcels greater than 5 acres but less than 10 acres, up to 20% of
the parcel may be cleared. This allowance shall not be considered a maximum clearing
allowance where other provisions of this Plan allow for greater clearing amounts. These
clearing limitations shall not prohibit the clearing of brush or under -story vegetation
within 200 feet of structures in order to minimize wildfire fuel sources.
g. Within Receiving and Neutral lands where schools and other public facilities are co-
located on a site, the native vegetation retention requirement shall be 30% of the native
vegetation present, not to exceed 25% of the site.
(1) For the purpose of this policy, "native vegetation" is defined as a vegetative community
having 25% or more canopy coverage or highest existing vegetative strata of native plant
species. The vegetation retention requirements specified in this policy are calculated on
the amount of "native vegetation" that conforms to this definition.
(2) The preservation of native vegetation shall include canopy, under -story and ground cover,
emphasizing the largest contiguous area possible, which may include connection to offsite
preserves. The purpose for identifying the largest contiguous area is to provide for a core
area that has the greatest potential for wildlife habitat by reducing the interface between
the preserve area and development which decreases the conflicts from other land uses.
Criteria for determining the dimensional standards of the preserve are to be set out in the
Land Development Code.
(3) Areas that fulfill the native vegetation retention standards and criteria of this policy shall be
set aside as preserve areas. On -site and off -site preserve areas shall be protected by a
permanent conservation mechanism to prohibit further development, consistent with the
requirements of this policy. The type of conservation mechanism, including conservation
easements, required for a specific development may vary based on preserve area size, type
24
CONSERVATIONAND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
of development approval, and other factors, as set forth in the County's land development
regulations.
(4) Selection of native vegetation to be retained as preserve areas shall reflect the following
criteria in descending order of priority:
a. Wetland or upland areas known to be utilized by listed species or that serve as corridors
for the movement of wildlife shall be preserved and protected in order to facilitate the
continued use of the site by listed species or the movement of wildlife through the site.
This criterion shall be consistent with the requirements of Policy 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 of this
element.
b. Xeric Scrub, Dune and Strand, Hardwood Hammocks.
c. Onsite wetlands preserved pursuant to Policy 6.2.5 of this Element;
d. Any upland habitat that serves as a buffer to a wetland area, as identified in (4)c. above.
e. Dry Prairie, Pine Flatwoods, and
f. All other native habitats.
(5) The uses allowable within preserve areas are limited to:
a. Passive recreational uses that do not impact the minimum required vegetation or cause
a loss of function to the preserve area. Criteria identifying what constitutes a loss of
function shall be set forth in the land development regulations and will address various
types of construction that are compatible with the function of the preserve. The land
development regulations will also provide criteria to define appropriate passive
recreational uses. The criteria will be established to allow for passive recreational uses
such as trails or boardwalks that provide for access within the preserves, providing the
uses do not reduce the minimum required vegetation or cause harm to listed species.
b. Receipt of treated stormwater discharge where such use, including conveyance,
treatment and discharge structures, does not result in adverse impacts on the naturally
occurring, native vegetation, to include the loss of the minimum required vegetation and
n the harm to any listed species according to the policies associated with Objective 7.1, as
determined by criteria set forth in the land development regulations. Discharge to
preserves having wetlands requires treatment that will meet water quality standards as
set forth in Chapter, 62 -302 F.A.C. and will conform to the water quality criteria
requirements set forth by the South Florida Water Management District.
(6) A management plan shall be submitted for all preserve areas identified by specific criteria
in the land development regulations to identify actions that must be taken to ensure that
the preserved areas will function as proposed. The plan shall include methods to address
control and treatment of invasive exotic species, fire management, stormwater
management (if applicable), and maintenance of permitted facilities. If applicable, a listed
species monitoring program shall be submitted pursuant to Policy 7.1.2 (2)(i).
(7) Off -site preservation shall be allowed to provide flexibility in the project design.
a. Within Receiving and Neutral Lands, off -site preservation shall be allowed for up to 50%
of the vegetation retention requirement.
1. Off -site preservation areas shall be allowed at a ratio of 1:1 if such off -site
preservation is located within designated Sending Lands or at a ratio of 1.5:1
anywhere else.
2. Like for like preservation shall be required for Tropical Hardwood and Oak
Hammock vegetative communities.
b. Within non -NRPA Sending Lands, off -site preservation shall be allowed for up to 25% of
the site preservation or vegetative retention requirement, whichever is controlling.
1. Off -site preservation areas shall be contiguous to designated Sending Lands and
shall be allowed at a ratio of 3:1.
n c. Off -site preservation shall not be allowed in NRPA Sending Lands.
(8) Density Bonus Incentives shall be granted to encourage preservation amounts greater
than that required in this policy, as provided for in the FLUE for Receiving Lands and
Rural Villages. Within one (1) year of the effective date of these amendments, Collier
25
CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
County shall adopt specific land development regulations to implement this incentive
program.
(9) On -site preservation areas shall also conform to the Open Space requirements as �
specified in the Future Land Use Element. These preservations shall be part of and
counted towards the Open Space requirements.
(10) Existing native vegetation that is located contiguous to the natural reservation shall be
preserved pursuant to Policy 6.5.2 of this element. Natural reservation is defined as that
specified in CCME Objective 6.5 of this element;
(11) Should the amount of wetland vegetation exceed the minimum vegetation requirements as
specified herein, retention of wetland vegetation having significant habitat or hydrologic
value is encouraged. Increased preservation shall be fostered through incentives
including, but not limited to: clustered development, reduced development standards
such as open space, setbacks, and landscape buffers, to allow for increased areas of
preserved wetland vegetation. Significant habitat or hydrologic value is determined by
wetland function, not the size of the wetland.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Policy 6.1 .2 specifies that within the County's Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, as designated on the
FLUM, native vegetation shall be preserved on site through the application of various vegetation
retention standards and criteria.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the Policy should be modified to reflect
the June 2010 Land Development Code amendments that implement specific subsections of the Policy;
and, add an exemption from the native vegetation retention requirements for Federal and State parks,
preserves and forests whose purpose is to manage land for conservation purposes.

Policy 6.1.6:
Exemptions from the native vegetation retention requirements of CCME Policy 6.1.2 — The
requirements of Policy 6.1.2 shall not apply to, affect or limit the continuation of existing uses.
Existing use shall be defined as: those uses for which all required permits were issued prior to
June 19, 2002; or, projects for which a Conditional Use or Rezone petition was approved by
the County prior to June 19, 2002; or, land use petitions for which a completed application was
submitted prior to June 19, 2002. The continuation of existing uses shall include expansions
of those uses if such expansions are consistent with, or clearly ancillary to, the existing uses.
Hereafter, such previously approved developments shall be deemed to be consistent with the
Plan's Goals, Policies and Objectives for the Rural Fringe area, and they may be built out in
accordance with their previously approved plans. Changes to these previous approvals shall
also be deemed to be consistent with the Plan's Goals, Objectives and Policies for the Rural
Fringe Area as long as they do not result in an increase in development density or intensity.
On the County owned land located in Section 25, Township 26 E, Range 49 S ( +1 -360 acres), the
native vegetation retention and site preservation requirements may be reduced to 50% if the

Policy 6.2.3:
Collier County shall implement a comprehensive process to ensure wetlands and the natural
functions of wetlands are protected and conserved. This wetland preservation and
conservation process shall be coordinated with the Watershed Management Plan process, as
referenced in Objective 2.1 of this Element. However, the process outlined within this policy is
primarily based on directing concentrated population growth and intensive development away
from large interconnected wetland systems. These wetland systems have been identified
based on their type, values, functions, sizes, conditions and locations within Collier County.
These systems predominantly occur east of the County's Urban boundary, as delineated on
the Countywide Future Land Use Map (FLUM), within the Future Land Use Element (FLUE).
Many of these wetlands fall within public lands or land targeted for acquisition. High quality
wetlands systems located on private property are primarily protected through native
vegetation preservation requirements, or through existing PUD commitments, conservation
easements, or Stewardship Sending Area Designations, or via the NRPA or Sending
designations within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District or land /easement acquisition, or
innovative landowner incentives. Protection measures for wetlands and wetland systems
located within the northeastern portion of Collier County, excluding the community of
Immokalee, are contained in the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA Overlay) of the
FLUE (and as depicted on the FLUM). Protection measures for wetlands and wetland systems
located within the Urban and Estates designated areas of the County shall be based upon the
jurisdictional determinations made by the applicable state or federal agency. Where permits
issued by such state or federal agencies allow for impacts to wetlands within Urban and
Estates designated areas and require mitigation for such impacts, the permitting agency's
mitigation requirements shall be deemed to preserve and protect wetlands and their functions,
except for wetlands that are part of a Watershed Management Plan preserve area. The County
shall direct impacts away from such wetlands.
The large connected wetland systems that exist at the landscape scale in Collier County shall
be protected through various Land Use Designations and Overlays that restrict higher
intensity land uses and require specific land development standards for the remaining
allowable land uses. Collier County shall direct incompatible land uses away from these large
landscape scale wetland systems through implementation of the following protection and
conservation mechanisms:
(1) Conservation Designation
Best available data indicates that 76% of all wetlands found in Collier County are
contained within the boundaries of the Conservation Designation as depicted on the
Countywide Future Land Use Map. The overall purpose of the Conservation
Designation is to conserve and maintain the natural resources of Collier County and
their associated environmental, recreational, and economic benefits. The allowed
land uses specified in the FLUE's Conservation Designation (Reference FLUE Land
Use Designation Section IV.) will accommodate limited residential development and
future non - residential development. These limitations support Collier County's
comprehensive process to direct concentrated population growth and intensive land
development away from large connected wetland systems.
(2) Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern Overlay (ACSC)
Best available data indicates that 74% of the County's wetlands are within the Big
Cypress Area of Critical State Concern Overlay. The land development regulations
contained in the ACSC Overlay District, as depicted on the Countywide Future Land
Use Map, provide standards that facilitate the goal of directing higher intensity land
uses away from wetland systems. The development standards for the ACSC
Overlay (Reference FLUE Land Use Designation Section V.) specify that site
alterations shall be limited to 10% of the total site. The majority of the land
28
CONSERVATIONAND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
contained within the ACSC is also within the Conservation Designation and thus is
subject to the land use limitations of that Land Use Designation.
(3) Natural Resource Protection Areas (NRPAs)
Major wetland systems and regional flow -ways were used as criteria to establish the
NRPA Overlay District as shown on the Future Land Use Map, and as discussed in
FLUE Land Use Designation, Section V.C. These areas include high functioning
wetland systems and, although portions of the NRPA Overlay include lands within
the Conservation Designation, represent approximately 12% of the County's
wetlands, which are not located in Conservation Lands. Based on the relatively high
concentration of wetlands within NRPA designated lands, incompatible land uses
shall be directed away from these areas. Allowable land uses within NRPAs are also
subject to native vegetation retention and preservation standards of 90 %.
(4) Rural Fringe Mixed Use District Sending Lands
Best available data indicates that 16,000+ acres of wetlands are contained within
designated Sending Lands and that such wetlands constitute approximately 70% of
land cover in these areas. Incompatible land uses are directed away from the Rural
Fringe Mixed Use District Sending Lands through an incentive -based Transfer of
Development Rights (TDR) Program that allows land owners within these Sending
Lands to transfer their residential density out of the Sending Lands to Rural Fringe
Mixed Use District (and limited Urban) Receiving Lands. A complete description of
the TDR Program is contained in the FLUE, Future Land Use Designation
Description Section, Agricultural /Rural Designation, Rural Fringe Mixed Use District.
Incompatible land uses are also directed away from Sending Lands through
restrictions on allowable uses. Finally, allowable uses within these lands are also
subject to native vegetation retention and preservation standards of 80 % to 90 %, as
required by Policy 6.7.1 of this Element.
(5) Flowway Stewardship Areas [re- numbered to reflect merger of Ordinance No. 2002 -32 and
2002 -54]
Flowway Stewardship Areas Have been designated within the Rural Lands
Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA), as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, and are
shown on the Rural Lands Study Area Natural Resource Index Map Series. Flowway
Stewardship Areas (FSAs) are for the most part privately owned wetlands that are
located within the Camp Keais Strand and Okaloacoochee Slough. These lands
form the principal wetland flowway systems in the RLSA. The Overlay provides an
incentive to permanently protect FSAs through the creation and transfer of
Stewardship Credits. It also contains provisions that eliminate incompatible uses
from the FSAs and, which establish protection measures.
(6) Watershed Management Plans
Collier County will establish watershed management plans throughout the County, but
with particular emphasis on the Urban and Estates designated areas. These watershed
management plans shall be established in accordance with Objective 2.1 of this
Element and will include the preservation or, where feasible, creation of landscape -
scale wetland conservation areas to act as habitat, natural water quality treatment and
water quantity retention /detention areas. The County shall direct incompatible land
uses away from such large -scale wetlands.
Collier County shall allow for more intensive development to occur in Rural Fringe
Receiving Lands, North Golden Gate Estates, the Rural - Settlement Area District, and
the Urban Designated Areas subject to the land uses identified in the Future Land Use
Element, the Immokalee Area Master Plan, and the Golden Gate Area Master Plan.
These areas account for only 6% of Collier County's wetlands. Except for tidal
wetlands within the coastal portion of the Urban Designated Area and wetlands that are
part of an established watershed management plan, the County finds that the wetland
29
CONSERVATIONAND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
systems in these areas are more fragmented and altered than those systems located
within the Conservation Lands, ACSC and NRPA Overlays, and Rural Fringe Sending
Lands.
On a project - specific basis, wetlands and wetland functions shall be protected through
the following mechanisms:
(1) Federal and State jurisdictional agency review and wetland permitting;
(2) Vegetation preservation policies supporting CCME Objective 6.1;
(3) Wetland protection policies supporting CCME Objective 6.2;
(4) Clustering provisions specified in the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District of the FLUE
(5) The protection of wetlands that are part of an established watershed management
plan, as per Objective 2.1 of this Element.
(6) Land or easement acquisition.
(7) Land owner incentives, such as transferable development rights, tax relief, or USDA
grants for restoration.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Policy 6.2.3 requires Collier County to implement a comprehensive process to ensure that wetlands
and the natural functions of wetlands are protected and conserved. The process outlined within this
policy is primarily based on directing concentrated population growth and intensive development away
from large connected wetland systems. High quality wetlands systems located on private property are
primarily protected through native vegetation preservation requirements, or through existing PUD
commitments, conservation easements, or Stewardship Sending Area Designations, or through the
Natural Resource Protection Areas or Sending designations in the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District.
The large connected wetland systems that exist at the landscape scale in Collier County are protected
through various Land Use Designations and Overlays that restrict higher intensity land uses and
require specific land development standards for the remaining 41lowable land uses. 101�
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained.
[Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Comment from the August 11, 2010 Workshop — Suggesting
that provision (6) of the Policy be revised to include that the watershed management plans contain
designated areas to be protected from development so as to preserve habitat, water flows, recharge
areas and to prevent future flooding.]
Policy 6.2.5:
Within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, and that portion of the Lake Trafford /Camp Keais
Strand System which is contained within the Immokalee Urban Designated Area, Collier
County shall direct land uses away from higher functioning wetlands by limiting direct impacts
within wetlands based upon the vegetation requirements of Policy 6.1.2 of this element, the
wetland functionality assessment described in paragraph (2) below, and the final permitting
requirements of the South Florida Water Management District. A direct impact is hereby
defined as the dredging or filling of a wetland or adversely changing the hydroperiod of a
wetland. This policy shall be implemented as follows:
(1) The County shall apply the vegetation retention requirements of Policy 6.1.2 of this
element to preserve an appropriate amount of native vegetation on site. Wetlands shall
be preserved as part of this vegetation requirement according to the following criteria:
a. The acreage requirements of Policy 6.1.2 of this element shall be met by preserving
wetlands with the highest wetland functionality scores. Wetland functionality
assessment scores shall be those described in paragraph (2) of this policy.
Wetlands having a WRAP score of at least 0.65 or a Uniform Wetland Mitigation
Assessment Method score of 0.7 shall be preserved on site. This policy is not
30
CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
intended in all cases to require preservation of wetlands exceeding the acreage
required by Policy 6.1.2 of this element. Within one year, the County shall develop
specific criteria to be used to determine when wetlands having a WRAP score
greater than 0.65 or a Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method score of
greater than 0.7 shall be required to be retained exceeding the acreage required by
Policy 6.1.2 of this element.
(2) In order to assess the values and functions of wetlands at the time of project review,
applicants shall rate functionality of wetlands using the South Florida Water
Management District's Wetland Rapid Assessment Procedure (WRAP), as described in
Technical Publication Reg -001, dated September 1997, and updated August 1999, or the
Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method, F.A.C. Chapter 62 -345. The applicant
shall submit to County staff, agency accepted WRAP scores or Uniform Wetland
Mitigation Assessment Method scores. County staff shall review this functionality
assessment as part of the County's EIS provisions and shall use the results to direct
incompatible land uses away from the highest functioning wetlands according to the
requirements found in paragraph (1) above.
(3) All direct impacts shall be mitigated for pursuant to the requirements of paragraph (6) of
this policy.
(4) Single family residences shall follow the requirements contained within Policy 6.2.7 of
this element.
(5) The County shall separate preserved wetlands from other land uses with appropriate
buffering requirements. The County shall require a minimum 50 -foot vegetated upland
buffer adjacent to a natural water body, and for other wetlands a minimum 25 -foot
vegetated upland buffer adjacent to the wetland. A structural buffer may be used in
conjunction with a vegetative buffer that would reduce the vegetative buffer width by
50 %. A structural buffer shall be required adjacent to wetlands where direct impacts are
n allowed. Wetland buffers shall conform to the following standards:
a. The buffer shall be measured landward from the approved jurisdictional line.
b. The uiiu�r zone shall consist in preserved native vegetation. rrhcrc native
vegetation does not exist, native vegetation compatible with the existing soils and
expected hydrologic conditions shall be planted.
c. The buffer shall be maintained free of Category 1 invasive exotic plants, as defined
by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council.
d. The following land uses are considered to be compatible with wetland functions and
are allowed within the buffer:
1. Passive recreational areas, boardwalks and recreational shelters;
2. Pervious nature trails;
3. Water management structures;
4. Mitigation areas;
5. Any other conservation and related open space activity or use which is
comparable in nature with the foregoing uses.
e. A structural buffer may consist of a stem -wall, berm, or vegetative hedge with
suitable fencing.
(6) Mitigation shall be required for direct impacts to wetlands in order to result in no net
loss of wetland functions.
a. Mitigation Requirements:
1. "No net loss of wetland functions" shall mean that the wetland functional score
of the proposed mitigation equals or exceeds the wetland functional score of the
impacted wetlands. However, in no case shall the acreage proposed for
� mitigation be less than the acreage being impacted.
2. Loss of storage or conveyance volume resulting from direct impacts to wetlands
shall be compensated for by providing an equal amount of storage or
conveyance capacity on site and within or adjacent to the impacted wetland.
31
CONSER VA TION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
3. Protection shall be provided for preserved or created wetland or upland
vegetative communities offered as mitigation by placing a conservation
easement over the land in perpetuity, providing for initial exotic plant removal
(Class I invasive exotic plants defined by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council)
and continuing exotic plant maintenance.
4. Prior to issuance of any final development order that authorizes site alteration, the
applicant shall demonstrate compliance with paragraphs (6)a.1, (6)a.2, and (6)a.3
of this policy. If agency permits have not provided mitigation consistent with
this policy, Collier County will require mitigation exceeding that of the
jurisdictional agencies.
5. Mitigation requirements for single - family lots shall be determined by the State
and Federal agencies during their permitting process, pursuant to the
requirements of Policy 6.2.7 of this element.
b. Mitigation Incentives:
1. Collier County shall encourage certain types of mitigation by providing a variety
of incentives in the form of density bonuses and credits to open space and
vegetation retention requirements. Density bonuses shall be limited to no more
than 10% of the allowed density.
2. Preferred mitigation activities that would qualify for these incentives include, but
are not limited, to the following:
(a) Adding wetland habitat to or restoring wetland functions within Rural Fringe
Mixed Use District Sending Lands,
(b) Creating, enhancing or restoring wading bird habitat to be located near
wood stork, and /or other wading bird colonies.
3. Within one (1) year of the effective date of these amendments, Collier County
shall adopt specific criteria in the LDC to implement this incentive program, and
to identify other mitigation priorities.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Policy 6.2.5 requires that within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, Collier County is to direct land
uses away from higher functioning wetlands by limiting direct impacts within wetlands based upon the
vegetation requirements of Policy 6.1.2. This policy was adopted as part of the County's Rural Fringe
Amendments. Although Policy 6.2.5 states the vegetation requirements for the Rural Fringe Mixed Use
District and that portion of the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System which is contained within the
Immokalee Urban Designated Area, shall be based upon the native vegetation retention requirements
of Policy 6.1.2 of this Element, the Policy does not specify the percent requirement of retained native
vegetation which applies to that portion of the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System which is
contained within the Immokalee Urban Designated Area. This should be clarified in Policy 6.2.5
and/or in Policy 6.1.2. Section 6.2.5 (6)(5)(b)(3) should be removed as the specific criteria to
implement the incentive program and to identify other mitigation priorities have previously been
adopted in the Land development Code.

Policy 6.2.7:
Within the Estates Designated Area and the Rural Settlement Area, the County shall rely on the
wetland jurisdictional determinations and permit requirements issued by the applicable
jurisdictional agency, except for wetlands that are part of a Watershed Management Plan
preserve area. The County shall direct impacts away from such wetlands. This policy shall be
implemented as follows:
(1) For single - family residences within Southern Golden Gate Estates or within the Big Cypress
Area of Critical State Concern, the County shall require the appropriate federal and state
wetland - related permits before Collier County issues a building permit.
(2) Outside of Southern Golden Gate Estates and the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern,
Collier County shall inform applicants for individual single - family building permits that federal
and state wetland permits may be required prior to construction unless the proposed residence
is within a watershed management conservation area
identified in a Watershed Management Plan developed pursuant to policies supporting Objective
2.1 of this Element, in which case the appropriate jurisdictional permit is required prior to the
issuance of a building permit. The County shall also notify the applicable federal and state
agencies of single - family building permits applications in these areas.
(3) Within North Golden Gate Estates and the Rural Settlement Area, Collier County shall
incorporate certain preserved and /or created wetlands and associated uplands into the
County's approved watershed management plans, as per Objective 2.1 of this Element. The size
and location of wetlands incorporated into the watershed management plans will be based upon
the approved requirements for such plans. The County may issue single - family building permits
Within or adjacent to such wetlands, subject to appropriate mitigation requirements, which
preserve the functionality of the wetland within the applicable watershed management plan. For
a proposed residence which is to be located within a watershed management conservation area
identified in a Watershed Management Plan developed pursuant to policies supporting Objective
2.1 of this Element, the appropriate jurisdictional permit is required prior to the issuance of a
building permit.
(4) Collier County shall continue to work with federal and state agencies to identify properties that
have a high probability of wetlands and animal listed species occurrence. The identification
process will be based on hydric soils data and other applicable criteria. Once this identification
process is complete, the County will determine if the process is sufficiently accurate to require
federal and state wetland approvals prior to the issuance of a building permit within these areas.
The County shall use information on wetland and/or listed species occurrence to inform
property owners of the potential existence of wetlands and /or listed species on their property.
(5) Within one year after Watershed Management Plans are accepted by the Board of County
Commissioners, Collier County shall develop and implement additional means to protect
wetland systems identified in each Plan for preservation or restoration. Means to consider
include innovative landowner incentives, transferable development rights, tax relief, land or
easement acquisition, state and federal grants, and enhanced regulations.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Policy 6.2.7 stipulates that within the Estates Designated Area and the Rural Settlement Area, the
County is to rely on the wetland jurisdictional determinations and permit requirements issued by the
applicable Jurisdictional agency, except for wetlands that are part of a Watershed Management Plan
preserve area.

OBJECTIVE 7.1:
The County shall direct incompatible land uses away from listed animal species and their
n habitats. The County relies on the listing process of State and Federal agencies to identify
species that require special protection because of their endangered, threatened, or species of
special concern status. Listed animal species are those species that the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission has designated as endangered, threatened, or species of
special concern, in accordance with Rules 68A- 27.003, 68A- 27.004, and 68A- 27.005, F.A.C. and
those species designated by various federal agencies as Endangered and Threatened species
published in 50 CFR 17.
[This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed]
Policy Relevance:
Policy 7.1.2
Within areas of Collier County, excluding the lands contained in the RLSA Overlay, non-
agricultural development, excluding individual single family residences, shall be directed away
from listed species and their habitats by complying with the following guidelines and
standards:
(1) A wildlife survey shall be required for all parcels when listed species are known to inhabit
biological communities similar to those existing on site or where listed species are directly
observed on the site. The survey shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements
of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission ( FFWCC) and U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) guidelines. The County shall notify the FFWCC and USFWS of
the existence of any listed species that may be discovered.
n (2) Wildlife habitat management plans for listed species shall be submitted for County
approval. A plan shall be required for all projects where the wildlife survey indicated listed
species are utilizing the site, or the site contains potential habitat for listed species. These
plans shall describe how the project directs incompatible land uses away from listed
species and their habitats.
(a) Management plans shall incorporate proper techniques to protect listed species and
their habitat from the negative impacts of proposed development. Developments shall
be clustered to discourage impacts to listed species habitats. Open space and
vegetation preservation requirements shall be used to establish buffer areas between
wildlife habitat areas and areas dominated by human activities. Provisions such as
fencing, walls, or other obstructions shall be provided to minimize development
impacts to the wildlife and to facilitate and encourage wildlife to use wildlife corridors.
Appropriate roadway crossings, underpasses, and signage shall be used where roads
must cross wildlife corridors

2. The County shall consider any other techniques recommended by the USFWS and
the FFWCC, subject to the provisions of paragraph (3) of this policy.
3. When listed species are directly observed on site or indicated by evidence, such as
denning, foraging or other indications, priority shall be given to preserving the listed
species habitats first, as a part of the retained native vegetation requirement
contained in Policy 6.1.1 and Policy 6.1.2 this element. The County shall also
consider the recommendations of other agencies, subject to the provisions of
paragraph (3) of this policy.
(b) For parcels containing gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus), priority shall be given
to protecting the largest most contiguous gopher tortoise habitat with the greatest
number of active burrows, and for providing a connection to off site adjacent gopher
tortoise preserves.
(c) Habitat preservation for the Florida scrub jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) shall conform
to the guidelines contained in Technical Report No. 8, Florida Game and Fresh Water
Fish Commission, 1991. The required management plan shall also provide for a
maintenance program and specify an appropriate fire or mechanical protocols to
maintain the natural scrub community. The plan shall also outline a public awareness
program to educate residents about the on -site preserve and the need to maintain the
scrub vegetation. These requirements shall be consistent with the UFWS South Florida
Multi- Species Recovery Plan, May 1999, subject to the provisions of paragraph (3) of
this policy.
(d) For the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), the required habitat management plans
shall establish protective zones around the eagle nest restricting certain activities. The n
plans shall also address restricting certain types of activities during the nesting
season. These requirements shall be consistent with the UFWS South Florida Multi-
Species Recovery Plan, May 1999, subject to the provisions of paragraph (3) of this
policy.
(e) For the red - cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), the required habitat protection
plan shall outline measures to avoid adverse impacts to active clusters and to minimize
impacts to foraging habitat. Where adverse effects cannot be avoided, measures shall
be taken to minimize on -site disturbance and compensate or mitigate for impacts that
remain. These requirements shall be consistent with the UFWS South Florida Multi -
Species Recovery Plan, May 1999, subject to the provisions of paragraph (3) of this
policy.
(f) In areas where the Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) may be present,
the management plans shall require that garbage be placed in bear -proof containers, at
one or more central locations. The management plan shall also identify methods to
inform local residents of the concerns related to interaction between black bears and
humans. Mitigation for impacting habitat suitable for black bear shall be considered in
the management plan.
(g) For projects located in Priority I and Priority II Panther Habitat areas, the management
plan shall discourage the destruction of undisturbed, native habitats that are preferred
by the Florida panther (Fells concolor coryi) by directing intensive land uses to
currently disturbed areas. Preferred habitats include pine flatwoods and hardwood
hammocks. In turn, these areas shall be buffered from the most intense land uses of
the project by using low intensity land uses (e.g., parks, passive recreational areas, golf
courses). Golf courses within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District shall be designed
and managed using standards found in that district. The management plans shall
identify appropriate lighting controls for these permitted uses and shall also address
36
CONSERVATIONAND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
the opportunity to utilize prescribed burning to maintain fire- adapted preserved
vegetative communities and provide browse for white - tailed deer. These requirements
shall be consistent with the UFWS South Florida Multi- Species Recovery Plan, May
1999, subject to the provisions of paragraph (3) of this policy.
(h)ln order to protect loggerhead ( Caretta caretta) and other listed sea turtles that nest
along Collier County beaches, projects within 300 feet of the MHW line shall limit
outdoor lighting to that necessary for security and safety. Floodlights and landscape or
accent lighting shall be prohibited. These requirements shall be consistent with the
UFWS South Florida Multi- Species Recovery Plan, May 1999, subject to the provisions
of Policy 7.1.2(3).
(i) The Management Plans shall contain a monitoring program for developments greater
than 10 acres.
(3) The County shall, consistent with applicable GMP policies, consider and utilize
recommendations and letters of technical assistance from the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission and recommendations from the US Fish and Wildlife Service in
issuing development orders on property containing listed species. It is recognized that
these agency recommendations, on a case by case basis, may change the requirements
contained within these wildlife protection policies and any such change shall be deemed
consistent with the Growth Management Plan.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Policy 7.1.2 provides guidelines and standards for directing non - agricultural development, except for
individual single - family residences, away from listed species and their habitats. This policy does not
apply to lands located within the RLSA.

OBJECTIVE 7.2
Historical data from 1990 -1996 shows that the average number of manatee deaths in Collier
County due to incidents with watercraft is approximately 3.2 per year per 10,000 boats.
Through Policies 7.2.1 through 7.2.3, the County's objective is to minimize the number of
manatee deaths due to boat related incidents.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
Collier County's Manatee Protection Plan (NR- SP- 93 -01) was adopted within the Collier County Land
Development Code (LDC, Section 2.6.22 by adoption of Ordinance No. 95 -58) in May of 1995, but
was not officially adopted into the County's Growth Management Plan until December 16, 2003, by

Policy Achievement Analysis:
Policy 10.6.2 requires shoreline projects where an EIS is required, to provide an analysis
demonstrating that the project, remain fully functional for its intended use after a six -inch rise in sea
level. NOAA indicates that at current rates it will take 75 years to reach a 6" increase (2.02mm / year).
If the higher rates suggested by the SWFRPC Draft Climate Change report are used (2.3 mm/year) it
will still take approximately 66 years to reach a 6 " rise (refer to link below from NOAA). These time
frames are well beyond the accepted planning horizon.
NOAA Link: hqp: / /tidesandcurrents. noaa. gov/ sltrends /sltrends_station.shtml ?stnid= 8725110

2009 SWFRPC Draft Climate Change Report (excerpt below):
Potential Climate Futures: This study began by examining three sea level rise "severity" scenarios:
best case, worst case, and moderate case are based upon the results of Table 4, below. This table is
based on using Tables 9 -1 and 9 -2 of the USEPA Report "The Probability of Sea Level Rise."
Basically, the formula is multiplying the historic sea level rise (2.3 mm/yr) in Southwest Florida
(closest point used is St. Petersburg, Fl., Table 9 -2) by the future number of years from 1990 plus the
Normalized Sea Level Projections in Table 9 -1. For the study the 90% probability is considered the
best case, the 50% probability the moderate case, and the 5% probability the worst case scenario.
Staff believes that current building regulations, in combination with the National Flood Insurance
Program, provide adequate protection for all residents within the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
(100 year floodplain). The building code requires all buildings to be built at or above the 1% flood
elevation set by the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) program. FIRM maps use existing sea
level and they will be updated every 5 years. The building code requires all facilities within the SFHA
be brought into compliance with the Flood Damage Prevention ordinance with any major renovation
(improvement of greater than 51 % value of building). All buildings with federally backed mortgages
are required to obtain flood insurance.
This Policy is not relevant and should be deleted. However, one or more policies should be added to
require the County to monitor and work with federal, state and regional agencies to plan for sea level
rise in the future.

OBJECTIVE 12.1:
The County will maintain hurricane evacuation clearance times as required by state law. An
evacuation clearance time shall be defined as having residents and visitors in an appropriate
refuge away from storm surge prior to the arrival of sustained Tropical Storm force winds, i.e.,
winds equal to or greater than 39 mph. To further these objectives, for future mobile home
developments located outside of the storm surge zone, such development shall include on-
site sheltering or retro - fitting of an adjacent facility. The Collier County Emergency
Management Department shall seek opportunities to increase shelter facilities and associated
capacities under the direction of the Department of the Florida Division of Emergency
Management.

those requiring transportation from a threatened area. In the event of a countywide
emergency, such as a hurricane or other large -scale disaster, the County Emergency
Management Department shall open and operate one or more refuges for persons listed on the
County's Special Needs Registry and their caregivers. Medical and support equipment at such
refuges will include, but not necessarily be limited to, respirators, oxygen tanks, first aid
equipment, disaster cots and blankets, and defibrillators.

follows: delete, "people with special needs" and replace with "Persons with Special Needs (PSN)"
within the first sentence; delete "...the County Emergency Management Department shall..." and
replace with "...the County Emergency Management Department in coordination with the Collier
County Health Department and other officials shall..."

Intergovernmental Coordination Element - ICE- Summary
Intergovernmental Coordination Element - ICE
n
Introduction and Background
The Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) is the portion of the Collier County Growth
Management Plan (GMP) that contains the County's Goal, Objectives and Policies with regard to
relations between the County and non - County governmental entities (as well as quasi -
governmental entities, including utility companies). The ICE contains a single Goal, which states
the primary purpose of this Element.
A list of interlocal agreements is provided at the conclusion of the ICE Objective and Policy
analysis.
Objectives Analysis:
The ICE Goal reads-as follows:
"PROVIDE FOR THE CONTINUAL EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION AND THE USE
OF ANY INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION MECHANISMS WITH
BROWARD, DADE, HENDRY, LEE AND MONROE COUNTIES, CITIES OF
EVERGLADES AND NAPLES, COLLIER COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD, SOUTHWEST
FLORIDA REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL, AND ANY OTHER LOCAL, STATE,
OR FEDERAL AGENCY OR GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY, AND UTILITY
COMPANIES SUCH AS BUT NOT LIMITED TO FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT, n
LEE COUNTY ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, SPRINT/UNITED TELEPHONE,
ilvilvlOnALEE All T ER Al \TD SE r.�L'l R DISTRICT, PELICAN' B"11017 SERVICE DIVISIOl \T
(MSTU), FLORIDA WATER SERVICES, FLORIDA CITIES WATER COMPANY,
MEDIA ONE, AND CABLEVISION INDUSTRIES THAT MAY BE IMPACTED BY
COLLIER COUNTY'S LAND, ROAD OR FACILITY PLANNING TO RESOLVE
DIFFERENCES AND TO ACHIEVE COMPATIBLE AND COORDINATED PLANS:'
Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends generalizing names when
possible. For example:
COLLIER COUNTY WILL MAINTAIN OR ENHANCE THE LEVEL OF COORDINATION
AND COOPERATION AMONG THE VARIOUS GOVERNMENTS, AUTHORITIES AND
AGENCIES MAKING DECISIONS AFFECTING NATURAL RESOURCES, HOUSING,
HISTORIC AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES, PUBLIC FACILITIES, AND PUBLIC
SERVICES WITHIN AND AROUND COLLIER COUNTY, TO RESOLVE DIFFERENCES
AND TO ACHIEVE COMPATIBLE AND COORDINATED PLANS.
OBJECTIVE 1:
Collier County (County) shall continue to establish and maintain intergovernmental
communication and level of service coordination mechanisms to be used by the County,
Everglades City, the City of Marco Island, the City of Naples, and the City of Bonita
Springs, adjacent Lee County, Hendry County, Broward County, Dade County, Monroe
County, the District School Board of Collier County School Board, the State of Florida,
and any other entity that provides a service but may not have land use authority.
Intergovernmental Coordination Element
1-411\ Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the insertion of the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Department of Transportation, and South
Florida Water Management District. Including these agencies will ensure coordination of key
policies that relate to water supply planning and watershed management plans.
Policy 1.2: The Collier County Comprehensive Planning Department shall be the
designated liaison to disseminate information on proposed Growth Management Plan
amendments under review by the County, which have the potential to affect any of the
entities listed in Objective 1.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends that this Policy be updated to reflect
that the former Comprehensive Planning Department is now the Comprehensive Planning
Section.
Policy 1.2 requires the Collier County Comprehensive Planning Department to be the designated
liaison to disseminate information on proposed Growth Management Plan amendments by the
County which affect any of the entities listed in Objective 1.1.
Policy 1.3: The Collier County Comprehensive Planning Department shall continue to
prepare and review the Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) as an annual level of
service monitoring report for the capital facilities included within the Growth Management
Plan. The purpose of this report is to provide the affected entities with the necessary
information to evaluate and coordinate level of service standards.
Policy Achievement Analysis: The County Ir-LU1lllllellds L11at ibis Policy be updated to reflect
that the Comprehensive Planning Department recently became the Comprehensive Planning
Section.
Policy 1.3 requires the Collier County Comprehensive Planning Department to prepare and
review an annual level of service monitoring report for the facilities included within the Growth
Management Plan. The purpose of this report is to provide the affected entities with the
information in order to evaluate and coordinate level of service standards. This task is
incorporated into the County's Annual Update & Inventory Report (AUIR) for the County's
capital facilities.
OBJECTIVE 2: The County shall coordinate its land use planning strategy, including an
assessment of proposed development, with that of other governmental and private entities.
Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the text remains as written.
With regard to other governmental and non - governmental entities, as well as the general public,
the County takes due care that all matters coming before the Board of County Commissioners
with regard to land use changes are properly noticed and advertised, and that there is a public
opportunity for all interested parties to present comments and recommendations to the
n Commission. Additionally, Collier County's proposed GMP amendments and Land
Development Code (LDC) changes are either available online, in other electronic version, or as
2
Intergovernmental Coordination Element
printed documents. In addition, all land use - related documents are available to anyone upon
request for a minimal copying fee. /�
Policy 2.1: Collier County will continue to identify, develop, and pursue areas where
intergovernmental land use planning and level of service agreements are needed between
the County and respective governmental or private entities.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends minor text change.
Agreements should not be limited to governments and entities within Collier County. Collier
County recommends expanding to "appropriate" governmental or private entities.
Policy 2.6: The County shall continue to coordinate with The District School Board of
Collier County for collaborative planning and decision making on population projections,
the public school site selection for new public educational and ancillary facilities, and the
location and extension of public .facilities subject to concurrency, to support existing and
proposed public educational facilities in accordance with the general Interlocal Agreement,
adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the
Board of County Commissioners, and as subsequently amended and restated, with an
effective date of December 2008, and the School Board Review (SBR) Interlocal Agreement
adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the
Board of County Commissioners.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the text be revised to reflect new
dates or generalize text so that dates are not specified.
Public Comment from 3 -15 -10 EAR Public Meeting: Better coordination between School
Board (sitting) and County Government (locate schools where infrastructure is available or
planned).
Policy 2.6 requires that the County coordinate with the Collier County School Board on the site
selection for new public educational plants and ancillary plants and the provision of
infrastructure, particularly roads, to support existing and proposed public educational plants and
ancillary plants in accordance with the two Interlocal Agreements adopted in accordance with
Sections 163.3177(6)(h) and 163.31777, Florida Statutes, on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County
School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners. This policy should
be revised to remove dates and or revise dates. As an alternative, text should be revised so that
specific dates of agreements are not specified.
Policy 2.7: Collier County hereby adopts, as part of this Intergovernmental Coordination
Element, the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council's Rule 291 -7, Florida
Administrative Code, dated April 1994, which establishes a voluntary regional dispute
process to reconcile differences on planning, growth management, and other issues among
local governments, regional agencies and private interests.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the text be revised to reflect new
dates and requirements.
3
Intergovernmental Coordination Element
Policy 2.7 incorporates into the Growth Management Plan, by reference, the Southwest Florida
Regional Planning Council's (SWFRPC's) Dispute Resolution, Rule 29I -7, dated April 1994.
This policy should be revise to include portions of Rule 29I -7 have been updated since 1994 and
date will change per new SB360 -2009 requirement. Collier County recommends amending
references to date or update dates, and to include new requirement for mandatory mediation
(SB360 -2009, amending §186.509).
Policy 2.8: The County shall coordinate with the South Water Management District and
other regulatory agencies in implementing the Growth Management Plan.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends correcting SFWMD name.
Policy 2.8 requires the County to coordinates with the South Water Management District and
other regulatory agencies. This is an on- ongoing task. Collier County recommends including
"Florida" to correct the name of the cited agency.
Policy 2.9: The County shall continue to coordinate with The District School Board of
Collier County for the regulatory review of residential development for school
concurrency, in accordance with Section 163.3180(13) Florida Statutes.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends minor text revisions.
Policy 2.9 requires the County to coordinates with The District School Board of Collier County
in regard to the review of residential development for school concurrency. This is an on- ongoing
task. Collier County recommends including a comma that is missing prior to Florida Statutes,
and referring to Section 163.3180 only.
OBJECTIVE 3: Collier County shall develop procedures to identify and implement joint
planning areas for the purposes of municipal annexation, municipal incorporation and
joint infrastructure service areas.
Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends the text remains as written.
Section 9J -5.015 (3) (c) 4., Florida Administrative Code, requires the Intergovernmental
Coordination Element (ICE) to: "Provide procedures to identify and implement joint planning
areas for the purposes of annexation, municipal incorporation and joint infrastructure service
areas." This is the only provision within the State's ICE Rule that is related to annexation. This
is an on -going task.

FLUE SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES

An Assessment of the Success and Shortcomings
and Recommendations
for the Future Land Use Element
A. Introduction and Background
The Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP)
establishes the geographic framework for growth and development in Collier County. As such, the
FLUE is the most frequently amended portion of the GMP. Since the adoption of the County's 2004
EAR -based Amendments in January 2007, the FLUE has been amended on six occasions.
The FLUE includes three major sections: an Overview, the Implementation Section, and a Support
Document containing land use data and analysis. The purpose of the Overview is to provide an
introduction as to the purpose, basis and underlying concepts and special issues addressed by the
FLUE. The Implementation Strategy is where the Element is brought into legal effect. Included within
this section are the Goals, Objectives, Policies and the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and correlating
Future Land Use Designation Description Section:- - Collier County's FLUE gives emphasis to the
future land use categories (designations) contained in the Future Land Use Designation Description
Section of the Implementation Strategy. The Support Document is comprised of land use data and
analysis which provides a basis for the Implementation Strategy and serves to meet the requirements of
Section 9J- 5.006, Florida Administrative Code, minimum requirements for the FLUE.
The overall purpose of the FLUE is to guide decision - making with regard to regulatory, financial and
programmatic matters pertaining to land use. This Element controls the location, type, intensity and
n timing of new or revised uses of land. The land use strategy is closely coordinated with the County's
strategy for the provision of public facilities, as described in the Capital Improvements and Public
Facility Elements (and Sub - elements) of the GMP and with the strategies to protect and conserve
natural resources as found in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element.
HB 697 was enacted by the Florida Legislature in 2008, and now, in part, is codified within Ch.
163.3177(6)(a) and (d). It requires the future land use plan to discourage urban sprawl, to be based
upon energy- efficient land use patterns and to include greenhouse gas reduction strategies. All of these
requirements are addressed in the existing Objectives and Policies within the FLUE, as noted in the
assessment below. HB 697 also requires the future land use map to "identify and depict ... energy
conservation." Collier County has no energy conservation features, such as the Desoto Next
Generation Solar Energy Center in DeSoto County, to depict on its future land use map. Instead,
energy conservation measures occur at a micro scale, e.g. solar panels on individual single family
dwellings.
B. Objective Analysis
OBJECTIVE 1:
Unless otherwise permitted in this Growth Management Plan, new or revised uses of land shall
be consistent with designations outlined on the Future Land Use Map. The Future Land Use
Map and companion Future Land Use Designations, Districts and Sub - districts shall be
binding on all Development Orders effective with the adoption of this Growth Management
Plan. Standards and permitted uses for each Future Land Use District and Subdistrict are
identified in the Designation Description Section. Through the magnitude, location and
configuration of its components, the Future Land Use Map is designed to coordinate land use
1
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
with the natural environment including topography, soil and other resources; promote a sound
economy; coordinate coastal population densities with the Regional Hurricane Evacuation
Plan; and discourage unacceptable levels of urban sprawl. [This Objective is provided for
contextual purposes only, no change is proposed]
Policy Relevance:
Policy 1.4:
The CONSERVATION Future Land Use Designation shall include a Future Land Use District.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
This Policy has existed in the FLUE since the GMP was adopted in 1989. A District has never been
created - or needed - in this Designation. However, the potential remains for a District to be created.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to allow for, but not
mandate, the creation of a District (perhaps replace "shall" with "may ").
OBJECTIVE 2:
The coordination of land uses with the availability of public facilities shall be accomplished
through the Concurrency Management System of the Capital Improvements Element and
implemented through the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance of the Land Development
Code. [This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed]
Policy Relevance:
Policy 2.1:
The County shall prepare annually the Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) on Public
Facilities which shall include a determination of the existing conditions of capital public
facilities, determine the remaining available capacity, forecast future needs in the five year
capital improvement schedule and identify needed improvements and funding to maintain the
level of service adopted in Policy 1.1.5 of the Capital Improvements Element.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The annual preparation of an AUIR continues to be a valuable tool for Collier County.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to correct the CIE Policy
reference.
Policy 2.4
Pursuant to Rule 9J- 5.0055(6)(a) 3., Florida Administrative Code and the Urban Infill and Urban
Redevelopment Strategy contained in this Element, development located within the South U.S.
41 Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) (See Map TR-4) may be exempt from
transportation concurrency requirements, so long as impacts to the transportation system are
mitigated using the procedures set forth in Policy 5.5 of the Transportation Element.
Developments within the South U.S. 41 TCEA that obtain an exception from concurrency
requirements for transportation, pursuant to the certification process described in
Transportation Element, Policy 5.5, and that include affordable housing (as per Section 2.06.00
the Collier County Land Development Code, as amended) as part of their plan of development
2
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
shall not be subject to the Traffic Congestion Density Reduction requirement as contained in
the Density Rating System of this Element.
Developments within the Northwest and East - Central TCMAs that meet the requirements of
FLUE Policies 6.1 through 6.5, and Transportation Policies 5.7 and 5.8, and that include
affordable housing (as per Section 2.06.00 of the Collier County Land Development Code, as
amended) as part of their plan of development shall not be subject to the Traffic Congestion
Density Reduction requirement as contained in the Density Rating System of this Element.
Developments within the South U.S. 41 TCEA that do not obtain certification pursuant to
Policy 5.6 of the Transportation Element shall meet all concurrency requirements. Whether or
not a concurrency exception is requested, developments shall be subject to a concurrency
review for the purpose of reserving capacity for those trips associated with the development
and maintaining accurate counts of the remaining capacity on the roadway network.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The provisions of this Policy remain viable and appropriate.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written. However, if changes are made to the
Density Rating System to delete the Traffic Congestion Area density reduction factor, as proposed
later in this FLUE Assessment, then this policy should be revised to delete that reference.
Policy 2.5
The County shall designate Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMA) to
encourage compact urban development where an integrated and connected network of roads
n is in place that provides multiple, viable alternative travel paths or modes for common trips.
Performance within each TCMA shall be measured based on the percentage of lane miles
meeting the LOS described in Policies 1.3 and 1.4 of the Transportation Element. Standards
within TCMAs are provided in Policy 5.8 of the Transportation Element. New Development
within each TCMA shall be consistent with the criteria set forth in Objective 6, and Policies 6.1
through 6.5 of this Element. The following Transportation Concurrency Management Areas are
hereby designated:
1. Northwest TCMA — This area is bounded by the Collier - Lee County Line on the north side;
the west side of the 1 -75 right -of -way on the east side; Pine Ridge Road on the south side;
and, the Gulf of Mexico on the west side (See Map TR -5).
2. East Central TCMA — This area is bounded by Pin
Boulevard on the east side; Davis Boulevard on
(extended) on the west side (See Map TR -6).
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Collier County has designated both referenced TCMAs.
Pine
Ridge Road on the north side; Collier
the south side, and; Livingston Road
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to reflect the existence of
the TCMAs (perhaps replace "shall designate" on first line with "has designated ").
OBJECTIVE 4:
In order to improve coordination of land uses with natural and historic resources, public
facilities, economic development, housing and urban design, the Future Land Use Element
shall be continually refined through detailed planning. Future studies might address specific
3
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
geographic or issue areas. All future studies must be consistent with the Growth Management
Plan and further its intent. [This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is
proposed]
Policy Relevance:
Policy 4.5:
An Industrial Land Use Study has been developed and a summary of the Study has been
incorporated into the support document of this Growth Management Plan. The Study includes
a detailed inventory of industrial uses, projections of demand for industrial land, and
recommendations for future land use allocations and locational criteria. Subsequent to
completion of the Economic Element of this Growth Management Plan, adopted in December
2003, staff shall prepare an update to the Industrial Land Use Study.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
This Policy provides historical reference to an Industrial Land Use Study. Collier County has prepared
an update to the Study, by updating the Industrial inventory, about every 2 -3 years, depending upon
staffing and workload. Such updates should continue to be prepared.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to recognize the periodic
update (perhaps replace the last sentence with a commitment to periodically update the inventory).
Policy 4.7:
The Board of County Commissioners may consider whether to adopt redevelopment plans for
existing commercial and residential areas. Such plans may include alternative land uses,
modifications to development standards, and incentives that may be necessary to encourage
redevelopment. The Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the
Board on March 14, 2000; it encompasses the Bayshore Drive corridor and the triangle area
formed by US 41 East, Davis Boulevard and Airport- Pulling Road. Other specific areas that
may be considered by the Board of County Commissioners for redevelopment include, but are
not necessarily limited to:
a. Pine Ridge Road, between U.S. 41 North and Goodlette -Frank Road;
b. U.S. 41 North in Naples Park; and,
c. Bonita Beach Road between Vanderbilt Drive and the west end of Little Hickory Shores #1
Subdivision.
Policy Achievement Anal
The only redevelopment plans approved by the Board are within the boundaries of a CRA
(Bayshore /Gateway Triangle and Immokalee). Preparation of redevelopment plans in the future, as
may be directed by the Board, remains an appropriate planning opportunity. Omitted from this Policy
is reference to the Immokalee Redevelopment Plan. Also, the referenced date is incorrect.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to specify that such a
redevelopment plan may only be prepared by the County or its agent unless first approved by the
Board, to add reference to the h=okalee Redevelopment Plan, and to correct the date reference.
OBJECTIVE 5:
In order to promote sound planning, protect environmentally sensitive lands and habitat for
listed species while protecting private property rights, ensure compatibility of land uses and
4
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
n

further the implementation of the Future Land Use Element, the following general land use
policies shall be implemented upon the adoption of the Growth Management Plan. [This
Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed]
Policy Relevance:
Policy 5.3:
Discourage unacceptable levels of urban sprawl in order to minimize the cost of community
facilities by: confining urban intensity development to areas designated as Urban on the
Future Land Use Map; requiring that any changes to the Urban Designated Areas be
contiguous to an existing Urban Area boundary; and, encouraging the use of creative land use
planning techniques and innovative approaches to development in the County's
Agricultural /Rural designated area, which will better serve to protect environmentally sensitive
areas, maintain the economic viability of agriculture and other predominantly rural land uses,
and provide for cost efficient delivery of public facilities and services.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
Collier County implements this Policy through the provisions of the Urban designation as well as the
Rural Fringe Mixed Use District and Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to clarify changes to the
Urban designation refers to the new designation of lands as Urban (perhaps replace "changes" in the
third line with "addition ").
Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 1125110):
Public stated, regarding below item at FLUE Policy 5.6 ( "encourage "experimental" zoning
change the TDR program to require use of TDR's to obtain additional density (cluster housing,
guesthouses).
Policy 5.14:
Public educational plants and ancillary plants:
a. Existing public educational plants and ancillary plants: The sites containing existing public
educational plants (schools and associated on -site facilities, including sports stadiums,
gymnasiums and recreation areas) and ancillary plants (support facilities, including
administrative offices, transportation facilities, maintenance yards, and bus barns) are
depicted on the Future Land Use Map Series and Public School Facilities Element Map
Series. This includes four sites where educational plants have been approved but
construction either has not commenced or is not completed. More detailed descriptions or
depictions of all of the sites containing these existing educational plants and ancillary
plants are contained in the FLUE Support Document. Expansion of these educational
plants and ancillary plants on these existing sites, as well as expansions to the sites
themselves, are subject to the provisions outlined in the general Interlocal Agreement,
adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the
Board of County Commissioners, and as subsequently amended and restated, with an
effective date of December 2008, and subject to the implementing land development
regulations to be adopted; and, shall be subject to the School Board Review (SBR)
Interlocal Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on
May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and subject to the implementing land
development regulations.
b. Existing sites for future public educational plants: The Collier County School Board has
acquired numerous sites for which educational plants are planned for future development;
5
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
these sites contain no existing educational plants. These sites are consistent with
locational criteria established by the SBR Interlocal Agreement and as contained in the
FLUE, GGAMP, or TAMP, as applicable, and are allowed within the existing zoning district
on the property. These sites are depicted on the Future Land Use Map Series and Public
School Facilities Element Map Series. Development of the mapped sites shall be subject to
the provisions of the general Interlocal Agreement adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier
County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and as
subsequently amended and restated, with an effective date of December 2008, and subject
to the implementing land development regulations to be adopted; and, shall be subject to
the School Board Review (SBR) Interlocal Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the
Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners,
and subject to the implementing land development regulations.
c. Existing sites for future public ancillary plants: The Collier County School Board has
acquired sites for which ancillary plants are planned for future development; these sites
contain no existing ancillary plants. These sites are consistent with locational criteria
established by the SBR Interlocal Agreement and as contained in the FLUE, GGAMP, or
TAMP, as applicable, and are allowed within the existing zoning district on the property.
These sites are depicted on the Future Land Use Map Series and Public School Facilities
Element Map Series. Development of the mapped sites shall be subject to the provisions of
the general Interlocal Agreement adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School
Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and as subsequently
amended and restated, with an effective date of December 2008, and subject to the
implementing land development regulations to be adopted; and, shall be subject to the
School Board Review (SBR) Interlocal Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier
County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and
subject to the implementing land development regulations.
d. Future sites for public educational plants and ancillary plants: As additional sites for
educational plants and ancillary plants are acquired by the Collier County School Board
and deemed to be consistent with the FLUE, GGAMP, or IAiriPI, as applicable, and allowed
by existing zoning on the site, these sites will be added to the Future Land Use Map Series
and Public School Facilities Element Map Series, as provided for in the general Interlocal
Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27,
2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and as subsequently amended and restated,
with an effective date of December 2008, and subject to the implementing land
development regulations to be adopted; and, shall be subject to and the School Board
Review (SBR) Interlocal Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School
Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners. Future development of
these sites will be subject to the provisions of the aforementioned general Interlocal
Agreement and SBR Interlocal Agreement, and subject to the implementing land
development regulations. Prior to site acquisition, the Collier County School District will
provide notification to property owners as follows: 1) for sites located within the Urban
Designated Area of the Future Land Use Element of the Growth Management Plan, notices
shall be sent to all owners of property within 500 linear feet of the property lines of the site
under consideration for acquisition; 2) for sites not located within the Urban Designated
Area of the FLUE of the Growth Management Plan, notices shall be sent to all owners of
property within 1,000 linear feet of the property lines of the site under consideration for
acquisition. At the public hearing to consider the land acquisition, all public commentary
received as a result of these notices will be provided to the Collier County School Board.
e. Zoning district provisions for future educational plants: Except to the extent that such
would be in conflict with the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District adopted on June 19, 2002, or
the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay adopted on October 22, 2002, all future
educational plants shall be allowed in zoning districts as follows:
6
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
(1) Educational plants are prohibited in the Residential Tourist (RT), Golf Course (GC),
Conservation (CON), Travel Trailer Recreational Vehicle Campground (TTRVC),
!� Business Park (BP), and Industrial (1) zoning districts.
(2) Educational plants are permitted by right in all other zoning districts. However, for a
high school facility to be located in any residential zoning district, or Estates (E) zoning
district, or residential component of a PUD, a formal compatibility review and
determination is required, as set forth in the general Interlocal Agreement, adopted on
May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of
County Commissioners, and as subsequently amended and restated, with an effective
date of December 2008, and the School Board Review (SBR) Interlocal Agreement,
adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by
the Board of County Commissioners.
f. Zoning district provisions for future ancillary plants: Except to the extent that such would
be in conflict with the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District adopted on June 19, 2002, or the
Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay adopted on October 22, 2002, all future ancillary
plants shall be allowed in zoning districts as follows:
(1) Ancillary plants are prohibited in the Residential Single Family (RSF -1 through RSF -6),
Mobile Home (MH), Travel Trailer Recreational Vehicle Campground (TTRVC), Golf
Course (GC), and Conservation (CON) zoning districts.
(2) Ancillary plants are permitted by right in the General Commercial (C-4), Heavy
Commercial (C -5), and Industrial (1) zoning districts.
(3) Ancillary plants are permitted by conditional use approval in all other zoning districts.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
This Policy recognizes and implements the two Inter -local Agreements adopted in 2003 by the BCC
and Collier County School Board. Since then, one of the Agreements has been superseded (adopted in
2008 along with the Public School Facilities Element), the other one has expired and its replacement is
presently beinsi neizotiated.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised as necessary to reflect the
changed status and contents of the Agreements as well as any changes necessary to correlate with the
Public School Facilities Element.
Objective 6
Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMAs) are geographically compact areas
designated in local government comprehensive plans where intensive development exists, or
such development is planned. New development within a TCMA shall occur in a manner that
will ensure an adequate level of mobility (as defined in Policy 5.8 of the Transportation
Element) and further the achievement of the following identified important state planning goals
and policies: discouraging the proliferation of urban sprawl, protecting natural resources,
protecting historic resources, maximizing the efficient use of existing public facilities, and
promoting public transit, bicycling, walking and other alternatives to the single occupant
automobile. Transportation Concurrency Management Areas are hereby established in the
specific geographic areas described in Policy 2.5 of this Element.
Objective Achievement Anal
TCMAs remain a viable transportation management tool. This Objective is still appropriate, all the
more so given the requirements and direction of HB 697 enacted by the Florida Legislature in 2008.
7
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
This Objective remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to reference the
establishment of TCMAs in past tense (perhaps replace "are hereby" in the last sentence with "have
been "). /�
Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 1125110,
Public stated County should reserve right -of -way for light rail.
Policy Relevance:
Policy 6.3:
In order to be exempt from link specific concurrency, new residential development or
redevelopment within Collier County's designated Transportation Concurrency Management
Areas (TCMAs) shall utilize at least two of the following Transportation Demand Management
(TDM) strategies, as may be applicable:
a) Including neighborhood commercial uses within a residential project.
b) Providing transit shelters within the development (must be coordinated with Collier County
Transit).
c) Providing bicycle and pedestrian facilities, with connections to abutting commercial
properties.
d) Including affordable housing (minimum of 25% of the units) within the development.
e) Vehicular access to abutting commercial properties.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
This Policy is still appropriate, all the more so given the requirements and direction of HB 697 enacted
by the Florida Legislature in 2008. /—IN
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but paragraph e) should be revised to begin with a
verb so as to follow the sentence structure (perhaps add "Providing" before "Vehicular ").
OBJECTIVE 7
In an effort to support the Dover, Kohl & Partners publication, Toward Better Places: The
Community Character Plan for Collier County, Florida, promote smart growth policies, and
adhere to the existing development character of Collier County, the following policies shall be
implemented for new development and redevelopment projects, where applicable.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
The direction provided by this Objective is still appropriate, all the more so given the requirements and
direction of HB 697 enacted by the Florida Legislature in 2008. Comprehensive Planning staff
reviews all rezone and conditional use petitions for compliance with the Policies under this Objective.
This Objective remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to reference reduction of
greenhouse gas emissions (perhaps add "reduce greenhouse gas emissions," on the second line after
"policies, ".
Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 1125110):
Public stated encourage smart growth principles — mixed use, urban in 11, walkable communities,
alternate transportation modes, and more green space.
8
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
Policy Relevance:
n Policy 7.3
All new and existing developments shall be encouraged to connect their local streets and their
interconnection points with adjoining neighborhoods or other developments regardless of
land use type.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The direction provided by this Policy is still appropriate, all the more so given the requirements and
direction of HB 697 enacted by the Florida Legislature in 2008.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised for proper wording as
connecting interconnection points is nonsensical (perhaps replace "and their interconnection points"
with "and/or provide interconnection(s)."
Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 3/15/10):
Public stated stress interconnection and continuity.
Policy 7.7
The Community Development and Environmental Services Division will continue to research
smart growth practices in an effort to improve the future of Collier County by specifically
addressing land use and transportation planning techniques for inclusion in future land
development regulations.
n Policy Achievement Analysis:
The direction provided by this Policy is still appropriate, all the more so given the requirements and
direction of HB 697 enacted by the Florida Legislature in 2008.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but should be revised to update the Division name
to reflect 2010 reorganization.
C. Future Land Use Designation Description — Assessment of Select Provisions
In addition to the above Assessment of FLUE GOPs, staff provides below an Assessment of select
portions of the Future Land Use Designation Description Section.
Urban Designation, Urban Mixed Use District, Office and In -fill Commercial Subdistrict
The intent of this Subdistrict is to allow low intensity office commercial or infill commercial
development on small parcels within the Urban Mixed Use District located along arterial and
collector roadways where residential development, as allowed by the Density Rating System,
may not be compatible or appropriate. Lower intensity office commercial development
attracts low traffic volumes on the abutting roadway(s) and is generally compatible with
nearby residential and commercial development. The criteria listed below must be met for any
project utilizing this Subdistrict. For purposes of this Subdistrict, "abuts" and "abutting"
excludes intervening public street, easement (other than utilities) or right -of -way, except for an
intervening local street; and "commercial" refers to C -1 through C -5 zoning districts and
commercial components of PUDs.
a. The subject site is in the Urban -Mixed Use District.
9
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
b. The subject site abuts a road classified as an arterial or collector on the Collier County
Functional Class Map, as adopted in the Transportation Element.
b. A rezone to commercial zoning is requested for the subject property in its entirety, up to a
maximum of 12 acres. For a property greater than 12 acres in size, the balance of the
property in excess of 12 acres is limited to an environmental conservation easement or
open space. Under this provision, "open space" shall not include water management
facilities unless said facilities are incorporated into a conservation or preservation area for
the purpose of enhancement of the conservation or preservation area.
c. The site abuts commercial zoning:
(i) On one side and non - commercial zoning on the other side; or,
(ii) On both sides.
e. The abutting commercial zoning may be in the unincorporated portion of Collier County or
in a neighboring jurisdiction.
f. The depth of the subject property in its entirety, or up to 12 acres for parcels greater than
12 acres in size, for which commercial zoning is being requested, does not exceed the
depth of the commercially zoned area on the abutting parcel(s). Where the subject site
abuts commercial zoning on both sides, and the depth of the commercially zoned area is
not the same on both abutting parcels, the Board of County Commissioners shall have
discretion in determining how to interpret the depth of the commercially zoned area which
cannot be exceeded, but in no case shall the depth exceed that on the abutting property
with the greatest depth of commercial area. This discretion shall be applied on a case -by-
case basis.
g. Project uses are limited to office or low intensity commercial uses if the subject property
abuts commercial zoning on one side only. For property abutting commercial zoning on
both sides, the project uses may include those of the highest intensity abutting commercial
zoning district.
h. The subject property in its entirety was not created to take advantage of this provision, n
evidenced by its creation prior to the adoption of this provision in the Growth Management
Plan on October 20, 1957.
i. For those sites that have existing commercial zoning abutting one side only:
(i) commercial zoning used pursuant to this Subdistrict shall only be applied one time and
shall not be expanded, except for aggregation of additional properties so long as all
other criteria under this Subdistrict are met; and,
(ii) uses shall be limited so as to serve as a transitional use between the commercial
zoning on one side and non - commercial zoning on the other side.
j. For those sites that have existing commercial zoning abutting both sides, commercial
zoning used pursuant to this Subdistrict shall only be applied one time and shall not be
expanded, except for aggregation of additional properties so long as all other criteria under
this Subdistrict are met.
k. Lands zoned for support medical uses pursuant to the "1/4 mile support medical uses"
provision in the Urban designation shall not be deemed "commercial zoning" for purposes
of this Subdistrict.
I. For properties zoned commercial pursuant to any of the Infill Subdistricts in the Urban
Mixed Use District or in the Urban Commercial District, said commercial zoning shall not
qualify to cause the abutting property(s) to become eligible for commercial zoning under
this Office and Infill Commercial Subdistrict.
m. Land adjacent to areas zoned CA/T on the zoning atlas maps, or other commercial zoning
obtained via the former Commercial Under Criteria provision in the FLUE, shall not be
eligible for a rezone under the Office and Infill Commercial Subdistrict, except through
aggregation as provided in Paragraphs 1. and j. above.
n. For purposes of this Subdistrict, property abutting land zoned Industrial or Industrial PUD,
or abutting lands zoned for Business Park uses pursuant to the Business Park Subdistrict,
10
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
or abutting lands zoned for Research and Technology Park uses pursuant to the Research
and Technology Park Subdistrict, shall also qualify for commercial zoning so long as all
n other criteria under the Office and Infill Commercial Subdistrict are met.
o. At time of development, the project will be served by central public water and sewer.
p. The project will be compatible with existing land uses and permitted future land uses on
surrounding properties.
q. The maximum acreage eligible to be utilized for the Office and Infill Commercial Subdistrict
within the Urban Mixed Use District is 250 acres.
Provision Analysis:
This subdistrict, adopted in 1997 pursuant to the 2004 EAR, is intended to promote commercial infill
development on relatively small parcels in the Urban area, and contains numerous parameters that
must be met to qualify. It has been used several times. Criterion "1" is intended to prevent use of this
subdistrict to "piggyback" on other infill subdistricts. However, if a parcel were adjacent to property
rezoned to commercial pursuant to an infill subdistrict on one side, and other commercial zoning on
the other side, that parcel would be treated as abutting commercial on one side only, thus be limited to
"office or low intensity commercial uses;" this may be nonsensical, depending upon the intensity of
those adjacent commercial zoning districts.
The County recommends this Subdistrict be retained but criterion "1" be revised to only apply to
situations where commercial zoning attained via an infill subdistrict is the only abutting commercial
zoning.
Urban Designation, Density Rating System
Residential In -fill:
n To encourage residential in -fill in areas of existing urban development outside of the Coastal
High Hazard Area, a maximum of 3 residential dwelling units per gross acre may be added if
the following criteria are met:
(a) The project is 20 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;
(e) There is no common ownership with any adjacent parcels;
(f) The parcel in question was not created to take advantage of the in -fill residential
density bonus and was created before the adoption of this provision in the Growth
Management Plan on January 10, 1989;
(g) Of the maximum 3 additional units, one (1) dwelling unit per acre shall be transferred
from Sending Lands; and,
(h) Projects qualifying under this provision may increase the density administratively by a
maximum of one dwelling unit per acre by transferring that additional density from
Sending Lands.
Provision Analysis:
In the FLUE, the system currently contains both density bonuses and a density reduction. Within most
parts of the Urban Area, the base (or minimum) eligible residential density (i.e., the number of units
allowed per acre) is four units per gross acre and the maximum eligible density is 16 units per acre,
with one exception; eligible density is not an entitlement. This system allows a residential project, or
the residential portion of a mixed -use project, to request increased residential density above the base
density, or to lose density, if the project meets certain criteria. There are seven density bonus
11
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
provisions and one density reduction provision. A project may, or may not, be eligible for any number
or combination of these bonuses.
The Residential Infill bonus has existed since the GMP was adopted in 1989 and has been used
numerous times. However, as part of the Rural Fringe GMP amendments adopted in 2002, this bonus
provision was modified to increase the eligible property size from 10 to 20 acres, and to add the
requirement that part of the density bonus be derived from TDR credits obtained from RFMUD
Sending Lands. The purpose of requiring TDR credits was to help insure the success of the TDR
program. It has not worked; since the 2002 amendment, this bonus provision has rarely been used —
perhaps once or twice. Though the purpose for requiring use of TDR credits remains valid, that
requirement has stifled the use of this bonus provision intended to encourage infill development.
The County recommends the TDR requirement be eliminated.
[Recommendation from October 8. 2010 Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Comments to
the DCA on Proposed EAR (Comment 413): "It is not clear how much additional development could
occur should the elimination of the TDR requirement to qualify for the Residential Infill bonus density
occur. Should substantial additional development occur from this amendment, the department
recommends that an area wide traffic study be conducted and supporting documentation be provided to
establish that adequate capacity will be available for new trips that will impact state facilities for the
long -term horizon year and short -term year 2015 conditions. "
Collier Coun1y response:
The existing Residential Infill bonus provision allows a density bonus of up to three dwelling units per acre (3
DU /A), as would the provision with the recommended amendment. The recommended amendment itself does
not allow for a density increase, rather changes how that same density bonus of up to 3 DU /A is derived.
However, Collier County acknowledges that the use of this provision is expected to increase if the
recommended amendment is adopted, resulting in more density than would be expected without the amendment.
The extent of the total density increase resulting from the recommended amendment has not yet been quantified
by staff. This should occur prior to the CCPC Adoption hearing.
Urban Designation, Density Rating System
Traffic Congestion Area:
If the project lies within the Traffic Congestion Area, an area identified as subject to long range
traffic congestion, one dwelling unit per gross acre would be subtracted from the eligible base
density of four dwelling units per acre. 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, but exclusive of the outlying Urban designated areas of Copeland,
Port of the Islands, Plantation Island, and Chokoloskee). 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 the Traffic Congestion Area it will not be
subject to the density reduction. Furthermore, the density reduction shall not apply to
developments located within the South U.S. 41 TCEA (as identified within Transportation
Element, Map TR-4, and Transportation Element Policies 5.5 and 5.6, and FLUE Policy 2.4) that
obtain an exception from concurrency requirements for transportation, pursuant to the
12
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
certification process described in Transportation Element Policy 5.6, and that include
affordable housing (as per Section 2.7.7 of the Collier County Land Development Code, as
n amended) as part of the plan of development This reduction shall likewise not be applied to
developments within the Northwest and East - Central TCMAs that meet the requirements of
FLUE Policies 6.1 through 6.5, and Transportation Element Policies 5.7 and 5.8, and that
include Affordable Housing (as per Section 2.7.7. of the Collier County Land Development
Code, as amended) as part of the plan of development.
Provision Analysis:
The Traffic Congestion Area, which is depicted on the FLUM, is the only density reduction provision
in the FLUE. If a proposed rezoning project is within the Traffic Congestion Area, defined as "an area
identified as subject to long range traffic congestion," one dwelling unit per gross acre is deducted.
The Traffic Congestion Area density reduction has existed since the GMP was adopted in 1989.
It was intended as a means of reducing long -range traffic impacts of new development within that
portion of the coastal urban area that was considered to be subject to traffic congestion in the long
term; due to physical and social constraints in this area, construction of new major roads and
significant widening of existing roads would not be possible. However, it has not been successful in
limiting density because the Density Rating System includes various density bonuses that are
applicable within this area, thereby allowing the 1 DU /A density reduction to be counteracted. Also,
many projects, especially larger ones, do not build out at their approved density; therefore the desired
lower density may result without this regulatory feature. Finally, Transportation staff has since
determined this density reduction is not needed. The County has adopted a "checkbook" concurrency
system that, in many ways, obviates the need for the Traffic Congestion reduction factor. For these
reasons, staff proposes deletion of this provision — as was previously proposed in the 2004 EAR.
Also a� proposed in the 2004 EAR, staff recommends anew density reduuct:on factor be added m place
of the Traffic Congestion Area - a Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) density reduction factor for
properties lying within the CHHA. The CHHA, depicted on the FLUM, is, as would be expected,
more closely related to reduction of hurricane evacuation impacts, a concern for all coastal
communities. Also, a CHHA density reduction factor would not be as much of a disincentive to urban
infill as it would incorporate a smaller portion of the urban area — the CHHA is smaller than the Traffic
Congestion Area.
The County recommends the Traffic Congestion Area density reduction factor be deleted and replaced
with a Coastal High Hazard Area density reduction factor and so reflected on the FLUM; that
correlating changes be made to all GMP references to the Traffic Congestion Area; that both the
Roadway Access and Proximity to Mixed Use Activity Center or Interchange Activity Center
(residential density bands) bonuses be revised to replace reference to Traffic Congestion Area with
CHHA reference; and, revise the Conversion of Commercial Bonus to prohibit its application within
the CHHA.
[Recommendation from October 8, 2010 Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Comments to
the DCA on Proposed EAR (Comment 414): "Please provide analyses to establish the impact of
deleting the Traffic Congestion Area Density reduction factor and replacing it with the Coastal High
Hazard Area reduction factor. Should substantial additional development occur from this amendment,
the department recommends that an Area Wide Traffic Study be conducted and supporting
13
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
documentation provided to establish that adequate capacity will be available for new trips that will
impact state facilities for the long -term horizon year and short -term year 2015 conditions. "
Collier County response:
There are approximately 480 acres of land zoned A, Rural Agricultural that could potentially be
rezoned to residential zoning districts within the area presently encompassed by the Traffic Congestion
Area that would no longer be if the recommended amendment was adopted; this would yield a
potential density increase of 806 dwelling units. However, it is reasonable to assume that not all of this
land will be rezoned to residential zoning districts, rather some may be developed under the "A"
zoning district which allows a variety of institutional uses (child care center, church, nursing home,
private school, social and fraternal organizations, retail plant nursery, etc.) and essential services
(fire /police /emergency medical service stations, public parks, government offices, etc.), and some may
rezone to residential at a density not utilizing this amendment. Assuming a 75% rezone rate utilizing
the increased density allowance, the potential density increase of the recommended amendment would
be 605 DUs. Based upon property locations, these DUs could be distributed throughout the affected
area, from along US 41 North near the Lee County line to east of Collier Blvd. along US 41 East.

Mixed Use Activity Centers have been designated on the Future Land Use Map Series
identified in the Future Land Use Element. The locations are based on intersections of major
roads and on spacing criteria. When this Plan was originally adopted in 1989, there were 21
Activity Centers. There are now 19 Activity Centers, listed below, which comprise
approximately 3,000 acres; this includes 3 Interchange Activity Centers (#4, 9, 10) which will be
discussed separately under the Interchange Activity Center Subdistrict. Two Activity Centers,
#19 and 21, have been deleted as they are now within the incorporated City of Marco Island.

The Mixed -Use Activity Center concept is designed to concentrate almost all new commercial
zoning in locations where traffic impacts can readily be accommodated, to avoid strip and
disorganized patterns of commercial development, and to create focal points within the
community. Mixed Use Activity Centers are intended to be mixed -use in character. Further,
14
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
they are generally intended to be developed at a human - scale, to be pedestrian- oriented, and
to be interconnected with abutting projects — whether commercial or residential. Street,
pedestrian pathway and bike lane interconnections with abutting properties, where possible
and practicable, are encouraged.
Allowable land uses in Mixed Use Activity Centers include the full array of commercial uses,
residential uses, institutional uses, hotel /motel uses at a maximum density of 26 units per
acre, community facilities, and other land uses as generally allowed in the Urban designation.
The actual mix of the various land uses shall be determined during the rezoning process
based on consideration of the factors listed below. Except as restricted below under the
provision for Master Planned Activity Centers, all Mixed Use Activity Centers may be
developed with any of the land uses allowed within this Subdistrict.
For residential -only development, if a project is located within the boundaries of a Mixed Use
Activity Center which is not within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict or Urban Coastal
Fringe Subdistrict, up to 16 residential units per grow acre may be permitted. If such a project
is located within the boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center which is within the Urban
Coastal Fringe Subdistrict, the eligible density shall be limited to four dwelling units per acre,
except as allows by the density rating system. If such a project is located within the
boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center which is within the Urban Residential Fringe
Subdistrict, eligible density shall be as allowed by that Subdistrict. For a residential -only
project located partially within and partially outside of an Activity Center, the density
accumulated from the Activity Center portion of the project may be distributed throughout the
project.
Mixed -use developments - whether consisting of residential units located above commercial
uses, in an attached building, or in a freestanding building - are allowed and encouraged
within Mixed Use Activity Centers. Density for such a project is calculated based upon the
gross project acreage within the Activity Center. if such a project is located within the
boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center which is not within the Urban Residential Fringe
Subdistrict and is not within the Coastal High Hazard Area, the eligible density is sixteen
dwelling units per acre. If such a project is located within the boundaries of a Mixed Use
Activity Center that is not within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict but is within the
Coastal High Hazard Area, the eligible density shall be limited to four dwelling units per acre.
If such a project is located within the boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center which is within
the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict, eligible density shall be as allowed by that
Subdistrict. For a project located partially within and partially outside of an Activity Center,
and the portion within an Activity Center is developed as mixed use, some of the density
accumulated from the Activity Center portion of the project may be distributed to that portion
of the project located outside of the Activity Center. In order to promote compact and walkable
mixed use projects, where the density from a mixed use project is distributed outside the
Activity Center boundary:
(1) the mixed use component of the project within the Activity Center shall include a
minimum of thirty percent (30 %) of the Activity Center - accumulated density;
(2) the dwelling units distributed outside the Activity Center shall be located within one
third (1/3) of a mile of the Activity Center boundary; and,
(3) the portion of the project within the Activity Center shall be developed at a human
scale, be pedestrian- oriented, and be interconnected with the remaining portion of the
project with pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
Provision Analysis:
15
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
Mixed Use Activity Centers (MUAC) allow almost all land uses (industrial uses are excluded) - the
full array of commercial uses, mixed use (residential and commercial), residential uses, agricultural
uses, community facility uses, essential services, etc. Most MUACs allow residential -only projects at
the highest density allowed by the FLUE (16 DU /A), including most of the CHHA; the exception is
those portions of MUACs within the Urban Coastal Fringe are capped at 4 DU /A. However, mixed use
projects within the CHHA are capped at 4 DU /A. Further, the allowance for 16 DU /A is in contrast
with most density bonus provisions which are not applicable within the CHHA, and the remaining ones
that are proposed to be revised so as not to be applicable in the CHHA. Given the longstanding and
continuing concern for development, especially residential, within the CHHA, CHHA density should
be consistently limited.
The County recommends the allowable density for residential -only projects within the CHHA be
reduced to a maximum of 4 DU /A, the same as for mixed use projects.

Master Planned Activity Centers
Any of the five Mixed Use Activity Centers listed below may be designated as a Master Planned
Activity Center. A Master Planned Activity Center is one which has a unified plan of
development in the form of a Planned Unit Development, Development of Regional Impact or
an area wide Development of Regional Impact. Property owners within such Mixed Use
Activity Centers shall be required to utilize the Master Planned Activity Center process, as
provided below.
# 2 US 41 and Immokalee Road
# 3 Immokalee Road and Collier Boulevard
# 5 US 41 and Vanderbilt Beach Road
# 7 Rattlesnake- Hammock Road and Collier Boulevard
#14 Goodlette -Frank Road and Golden Gate Parkway
In recognition of the benefit resulting from the coordination of planned land uses and
coordinated access points to the public road network, Master Planned Activity Centers are
encouraged through the allowance of flexibility in the boundaries, and thus location of uses
permitted within a designated Mixed Use Activity Center. The boundaries of Master Planned
Activity Centers depicted on the Future Land Use Map Series are understood to be flexible and
subject to modification as provided for below. However, the acreage within the reconfigured
Activity Center shall not exceed that within the existing Activity Center. The actual mix of land
uses shall be determined using the criteria for other Mixed Use Activity Centers. All of the
following criteria must be met for a project to qualify as a Master Planned Activity Center:
1. The applicant shall have unified control of the majority of a quadrant in a designated
Activity Center. Majority of the quadrant shall be defined as at least 51% of the privately
owned land within any Activity Center quadrant. However, if a property owner has less
than 51% ownership within a quadrant, that property owner may still request a rezoning
under the provisions of a Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict subject to the maximum
acreage allowed in Paragraph 2 below. Property owners with less than 51% ownership are
encouraged to incorporate vehicular and pedestrian accesses with adjacent properties
within the Activity Center. Any publicly owned land within the quadrant will be excluded
from acreage calculations to determine unified control.
2. The allowable land uses for a Master Planned Activity Center shall be the same as for other
designated Activity Centers; however, a Master Planned Activity Center encompassing the
16
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
majority of the property in two or more quadrants shall be afforded the flexibility to
redistribute a part or all of the allocation from one quadrant to another, to the extent of the
r unified control. The maximum amount of commercial uses allowed at Activity Center # 3
(Immokalee Road and Collier Boulevard) is 40 acres per quadrant for a total of 160 acres
maximum in the entire Activity Center; the balance of the land area shall be limited to non-
commercial uses as allowed in Mixed Use Activity Centers. The maximum amount of
commercial uses allowed at Activity Center #7 (Rattlesnake Hammock Road and Collier
Boulevard) is 40 acres per quadrant, except that the northeast quadrant may have a total of
59 acres, for a total of 179 acres maximum in the entire Activity Center; the balance of the
land area shall be limited to non - commercial uses as allowed in Mixed Use Activity
Centers. With respect to the +/- 19 acres in the northeast quadrant of Activity Center #7,
said acreage lying adjacent to the east of the Hammock Park Commerce Center PUD,
commercial development (exclusive of the allowed "1/4 mile support medical uses ") shall
be limited to a total of 185,000 square feet of the following uses: personal indoor self -
storage facilities — this use shall occupy no greater than 50% of the total (185,000) building
square feet; offices for various contractor /builder construction trade specialists inclusive
of the offices of related professional disciplines and services that typically serve those
construction businesses or otherwise assist in facilitating elements of a building and
related infrastructure, including but not limited to architects, engineers, land surveyors and
attorneys — these offices of related professional disciplines and services shall occupy no
greater than 50% of the total (185,000) building square feet; warehouse space for various
contractor /builder construction trades occupants; mortgage and land title companies;
related businesses including but not limited to lumber and other building materials dealers,
paint, glass, and wallpaper stores, garden supply stores — all as accessory uses only,
accessory to offices for various contractor /builder construction trade specialists or
accessory to warehouse space for various contractor /builder construction trades
occupants; management associations of various types of buildings or provision of
services to buildings /properties; and, fitness centers. Activity Center #14 (Good lette-F rank
Road and Golden Gate Parkway) shall have a maximum of 45 acres for commercial use, the
balance of the land uses shall be limited to non - commercial uses as allowed in Mixed Use
Activity Centers.
3. The location and configuration of all land uses within a Master Planned Activity Center shall
be compatible with and related to existing site features, surrounding development, and
existing natural and manmade constraints. Commercial uses shall be oriented so as to
provide coordinated and functional transportation access to major roadways serving the
Activity Center, and functionally related or integrated with surrounding land uses and the
planned transportation network.
4. Adjacent properties within the Activity Center that are not under the unified control of the
applicant shall be considered and appropriately incorporated (i.e. pedestrian, bicycle and
vehicular interconnections) into the applicant's Master Plan.
Provision Analysis:
The Master Planned Activity Center provision is an example of the downside to "legislation on the fly"
(it was mostly written at and during a public hearing) — it is poorly written and confusing.
The County recommends this Master Planned Activity Center provision be rewritten for clarity, and
possible substantive change, likely to include reorganization/restructuring of the provision.
Agricultural /Rural Designation, Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (select excerpts)
The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District is identified on Future Land Use Map. This District
consists of approximately 93,600 acres, or 7% of Collier County's total land area. Significant
portions of this District are adjacent to the Urban area or to the semi - rural, rapidly developing,
17
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
large -lot North Golden Gate Estates platted lands. Agricultural land uses within the Rural
Fringe Mixed Use District do not represent a significant portion of the County's active
agricultural lands. As of the date of adoption of this Plan Amendment, the Rural Fringe Mixed
Use District consists of more than 5,550 tax parcels, and includes at least 3,835 separate and
distinct property owners. Alternative land use strategies have been developed for the Rural
Fringe Mixed Use District, in part, to consider these existing conditions.
The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District provides a transition between the Urban and Estates
Designated lands and between the Urban and Agricultural /Rural and Conservation designated
lands farther to the east. The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District employs a balanced approach,
including both regulations and incentives, to protect natural resources and private property
rights, providing for large areas of open space, and allowing, in designated areas, appropriate
types, density and intensity of development. The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District allows for a
mixture of urban and rural levels of service, including limited extension of central water and
sewer, schools, recreational facilities, commercial uses and essential services deemed
necessary to serve the residents of the District. In order to preserve existing natural
resources, including habitat for listed species, to retain a rural, pastoral, or park -like
appearance from the major public rights -of -way within this area, and to protect private
property rights, the following innovative planning and development techniques are required
and /or encouraged within the District.

Sending Lands: Sending Lands are those lands that have the highest degree of environmental
value and sensitivity and generally include significant wetlands, uplands, and habitat for listed
species.
7. Permitted Uses: Permitted uses are limited to the following:
a) Agricultural uses consistent with Chapter 823.14(6) Florida Statutes (Florida Right to
Farm Act)
b) Detached single - family dwelling units, including mobile homes where the Mobile Home
Zoning Overlay exists, at a maximum density of one dwelling unit per 40 acres or one
dwelling unit per lot or parcel of less than 40 acres, which existed on or before June 22,
1999. For the purpose of this provision, a lot or parcel which is deemed to have been in
existence on or before June
22, 1999 is 1) a lot or parcel which is part of a subdivision recorded in the public
records of Collier County, Florida; or 2) a lot or parcel which has limited fixed
boundaries, described by metes and bounds or other specific legal description, the
description of which has been recorded in the public records of Collier County Florida

which an agreement for deed was executed prior to June 22, 1999.
c) Habitat preservation and conservation uses.
d) Passive parks and other passive recreational uses.
e) Sporting and Recreational camps, within which the lodging component shall not exceed
1 unit per 5 gross acres.
f) Essential Services necessary to serve permitted uses identified in Section 5.a) through
5.e) such as the following: private wells and septic tanks; utility lines, except sewer
lines; sewer lines and lift stations, only if located within non -NRPA Sending Lands, and
only if located within already cleared portions of existing rights -of -way or easements,
and if necessary to serve the Rural Transition Water and Sewer District; and, water
pumping stations necessary to serve the Rural Transition Water and Sewer District.

a) The following uses are conditionally permitted subject to approval through a public
hearing process:
(1) Essential services not identified above in 4f). Within one year, Collier County will
review essential services currently allowed in the Land Development Code and will
define those uses intended to be conditionally permitted in Sending designated
lands. During this one -year period or if necessary until a comprehensive plan
amendment identifying conditionally permitted essential services, no conditional
uses for essential services within Sending designated lands shall be approved.
(2) Public facilities, including solid waste and resource recovery facilities, and public
vehicle and equipment storage and repair facilities, shall be permitted within Section
25, Township 49S, Range 26E, on lands adjacent to the existing County landfill. This
shall not be interpreted to allow for the expansion of the landfill into Section 25 for
the purpose of solid waste disposal.
(3) Commercial uses accessory to permitted uses 4.a), 4.c) and 4.d), such as retail sales
of produce accessory to farming, or a restaurant accessory to a park or preserve, so
long as restrictions or limitations are imposed to insure the commercial use
functions as an accessory, subordinate use.

Exemptions from the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District Development Standards —
r'` The requirements of this District shall not apply to, affect or limit the continuation of existing
uses. Existing uses shall include: those uses for which all required permits were issued prior
to June 19, 2002; or projects for which a Conditional use or Rezone petition has been
approved by the County prior to June 19, 2002; or, land use petitions for which a completed
application has been submitted prior to June 19, 2002. The continuation of existing uses shall
include expansions of those uses if such expansions are consistent with or clearly ancillary to
the existing uses. Hereafter, such previously approved developments shall be deemed to be
consistent with the Plan's Goals, Objectives and Policies and for the Rural Fringe Mixed Use
District, and they may be built out in accordance with their previously approved plans.
Changes to these previous approvals shall also be deemed to be consistent with the Plan's
Goals, Policies and Objectives for the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District as long as they do not
result in an increase in development density or intensity.
Provision Analysis:
The RFMUD - its allowance of uses, TDR program, etc. - was created to apply to lands zoned A, Rural
Agricultural. However, there are some lands with non -A zoning, including GC, Golf Course; TTRVC,
Travel Trailer Recreational Vehicle; PUD, Planned Unit Development; VR, Village Residential; MH,
Mobile Home; RSF -3, Residential Single Family; C -2, Convenience Commercial; and, C -3,
Intermediate Commercial. For some of these non -A zoning districts, to allow or only allow the uses
and densities of the RFMUD would be in conflict with the underlying zoning district and would grant
additional uses not allowed by underlying zoning or prohibit uses that are allowed by underlying
zoning (e.g. RFMUD Neutral Lands would allow residential and agricultural uses whereas C -2 doesn't
n allow those uses and would not allow commercial uses whereas C -2 allows various commercial uses).
To apply the RFMUD regulations to non -A zoning would not only open the County to potential Bert
Harris Act claims, it just wouldn't make sense — the uses of the RFMUD do not correlate to the
19
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
development standards of the non -A zoning districts. Similarly, to apply the TDR program to non -A
zoned lands is nonsensical.
The RFMUD Sending Lands originally included only the provision for base TDR credits. However,
via a subsequent GMP amendment, various bonus credits were added. However, in doing so, the
necessary correlating renumbering of cross - references within subparagraphs 7.f. and 8.a.(1) and (3) did
not occur (to change "5" to "7" and "4" to "7," respectively).
The "Exemption" provision at the end of the RFMUD is a grandfathering provision for existing uses.
Part of that provision allows for the expansion of existing uses ( "The continuation of existing uses
shall include expansions of those uses if such expansions are consistent with or clearly ancillary to the
existing uses. "). This language needs to be revised so as to clearly reflect the intent to allow for on-
site expansion, not expansion onto lands not part of the existing use. Also, the title of this provision
incorrectly refers to development standards whereas the provision itself applies to the RFMUD in its
entiretv.
The County recommends the RFMUD be revised to clarify that it only applies to A -zoned lands; to
correct a miss - numbering from a past amendment to the RFMUD Sending Lands designation; and, to
clarify the applicability of "expansion" and delete unneeded text from the Exemption provision title.
Overlays and Special Features, Coastal High Hazard Area
Policy 12.2.5 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) defines the
Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA). The CHHA boundary is depicted on the Future Land Use
Map; all lands lying seaward of that boundary are within the CHHA. New rezones to permit
mobile home development shall not be allowed within the CHHA. The Capital Improvement
Element and Conservation and Coastal Management Element both contain policies pertaining
UP the expenditure of public funds for public facilities within the CHHA.
Provision Analysis:
Certain provisions within the FLUE, e.g. Density Rating System density bonuses and proposed density
reduction factor, specifically do /do not apply within the CHHA. Likewise, certain Objectives and
Policies of other Elements have specific applicability to the CHHA.
This provision remains valid and should be retained as written.
[Comment from the Florida Department of CommunityAffairs' October 15, 2010 Letter on the
Proposed EAR (pary& ph 6): "The proposed EAR does not sufficiently address Section
163.319](2)(m), F.S. Collier County has coastal high hazard area; however, the proposed EAR does
not include an evaluation of whether any past reduction in land use density within the coastal high
hazard area impairs the property rights of current residents when redevelopment occurs, and include
in such an evaluation the identification of strategies to address redevelopment and the rights of
affected residents balanced against public safety considerations. The EAR should be revised to
include the evaluation. "
Collier County response:
Collier County has not required a density reduction in the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) since
the last (2004) EAR. Further, FLUE Policies 5.1 and 5.9 -5.12, and related Consistent by Policy Maps, �1
allow for development and redevelopment — including within the CHHA — in accordance with zoning
20
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
on the identified properties. And, the Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Overlay in the
FLUE, and on the FLUM, is almost entirely within the CHHA; that Overlay allows for a density
increase on eligible properties therein via reallocation of density.
Objective 3 and Policies in the Capital Improvement Element imposes limitations on the expenditure
of public funds within the CHHA, but allows for provision of public infrastructure necessary to serve
population density as allowed by the FLUE.
Future Land Use Map and Map Series
The Future Land Use Map includes a depiction of the CHHA.
Provision Anal
The CHHA is described in CCME Policy 12.2.5. The definition of the CHHA in Florida Statutes
changed in 2006 but that Policy has not been revised. Any necessary change to CHHA boundary
description in CCME policy 12.2.5 needs to be reflected on the FLUM.
The County recommends any changes to the CHHA boundary made in CCME Policy 12.2.5 be
reflected on the FLUM depiction of the CHHA boundary.
Future Land Use Map and Map Series
The Future Land Use Map Series includes a depiction of properties in the Immokalee Area that
are deemed Consistent By Policy.
Provision Analysis:
n This map depicts properties within the Immokalee Area Master Plan boundary that were previously
determined to be consistent with the FLUE pursuant to policies under Goal 5 of the FLUE. The
T__---- _I -.,1., LiT.. ,.� L 4:. -:�_ n nno c t.: ..t. ...:� t4 1
iiiuiiuxaice Area Master Plait is being amended (petition �.P- 2bbo - -) WHIC i will resiiit in more IULUIe
land use nonconformities — properties with existing zoning that does not conform to the future land use
designation. The IAMP will include a new Policy [6.1.9] that is the replacement of FLUE Policy 5.1
for the Immokalee area; that new policy will make reference to these nonconforming properties. A
new map will be prepared for adoption into the IAMP depicting these nonconforming properties that
are deemed consistent by policy; this will replace the present Consistent By Policy Map for
Immokalee.
The County recommends this map be deleted; a replacement map will be adopted into the IAMP.
Planning Horizon Issue
Provision Analysis:
The FLUM is labeled 2006 -2016; future transportation maps are labeled 2025; other planning and/or
infrastructure programs have different timelines. There is a need to align the planning horizon within
the GMP. The 2007 -2008 combined cycles of GMP amendments, scheduled to be adopted on July 28,
2010, includes an amendment to add a new Policy 4.11 in the FLUE, as follows:
In the next Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR), due January 1, 2011, Collier
County will identify as an issue to be addressed, the need to align dates within the
n various elements of this growth management plan. This will include, but may not be
limited to, the planning time frame for the Future Land Use Map, the Rural Lands
21
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
Stewardship Area Overlay, and Transportation Element long range maps. Necessary
amendments to achieve the alignment of dates will be included in the EAR -based
n
amendments to the Plan.
The County recommends revising the various planning horizons to be consistent, perhaps 2025.
Designation /District/Subdistrict Relationship
Provision Analysis:
Both the Urban and Agricultural/Rural Designations contain multiple Districts and Subdistricts.
Various uses are allowed under the Designation that may or may not be allowed under each subsequent
District or Subdistrict though this is not always readily discernable.
The County recommends clarification of the relationship between Designations, Districts and
Subdistricts; this may necessitate restructuring parts of the Designation Description section of the
FLUE.

Assessment of the Successes & Shortcomings
and Recommendations
for the Golden Gate Area Master Plan
A. Introduction & Background:
The purpose of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan is defined within its seven Goals (Goal 1 through
Goal 7), which read as follows:
GOAL 1: TO GUIDE LAND USE AND PUBLIC FACILITY DECISION MAKING WHILE
BALANCING THE NEED TO PROVIDE BASIC SERVICES WITH NATURAL RESOURCE
CONCERNS THROUGH A WELL PLANNED MIX OF COMPATIBLE LAND USES WHICH
ENSURE THE HEALTH, SAFETY, WELFARE, AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE LOCAL
RESIDENTS.
The Golden Gate Area Master Plan is an "optional element" of the Collier County Growth
Management Plan under Section 163.3177(7), Florida Statutes. As such, there are no specific criteria
to guide the format and purposes of this Element. The Golden Gate Master Plan was originally
developed, as mandated by (1988) Policy 4.1 of the Future land Use Element of the Growth
Management Plan.
As currently formatted, this Master Plan Element consists entirely of seven Goals, and their supporting
Objectives and Policies. This Goal should be retained, essentially as written. This Goal should be
rephrased to improve its formatting as a "goal ", such as, TO GUIDE LAND USE AND PUBLIC
FACILITY DECISION MAKING THROUGH A WELL PLANNED MIX OF COMPATIBLE
LAND USES WHICH ENSURE THE HEALTH, SAFETY, WELFARE, AND QUALITY OF
LIFE OF THE LOCAL RESIDENTS, WHILE BALANCING THE NEED TO PROVIDE
BASIC SERVICES WITH CONCERNS TO PROTECT NATURAL RESOURCES. Revise as
necessary capture what follows in Objectives and Policies.
B. Objectives Analysis:
OBJECTIVE 1.1:
Unless otherwise permitted in this Master Plan, new or revised uses of land shall be consistent
with designations outlined on the Golden Gate Area Future Land Use Map. The Golden Gate
Area Future Land Use Map and companion Future Land Use Designations, Districts, and
Subdistricts shall be binding on all development orders effective with the adoption of this
Master Plan. Standards and permitted uses for Golden Gate Area Future Land Use Districts
and Subdistricts are identified in the Land Use Designation Description Section of this
Element.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
The above Objective requires the County — as a Policy requirement would — to follow other portions of
the Master Plan when considering land use changes and issuing development orders. This Objective
1
GOLDEN GATE AREA MASTER PLAN
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ", and structurally followed with a
Policy or Policies that provide the specific direction.
Policy Relevance:
There are eight (8) policies within this Objective.
Policy 1.1.4:
Overlays and Special Features shall include:
A. Southern Golden Gate Estates Natural Resource Protection Overlay
This Policy should be retained as written.
[Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that
Southern Golden Gate Estates is now part of Picayune Strand State Forest and may now be treated
differently in this Master Plan. Consideration for any such change should be deferred until taken up
again under a comprehensive re -study of the Master Plan (tentatively scheduled to get underway in
2011).]
Policy 1.1.5
Conditional Use requests within Golden Gate Estates shall adhere to the guidelines outlined in
the Conditional Uses Subdistrict.
This Policy is not relevant and should be deleted. As with other Districts and Subdistricts, the
Conditional Uses Subdistrict itself contains the provisions necessary to regulate conditional uses in the
Golden Gate Estates area.
[Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment om August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the
Master Plan is structured somewhat differently than the FLUE or the IAMP and the preposition that
this Policy is irrelevant may not be entirely accurate. Change to this Policy is untimely and
consideration for any such change should be deferred until taken up again under a comprehensive re-
study of the Master Plan (tentatively scheduled to get underway in 2011) and should be removed from
the / as a proposed revision.]
Policy 1.1.6
To obtain Conditional Use approval, a super majority vote (minimum of 4 votes) by the Board
of Zoning Appeals shall be required.
This Policy reflects the type of provision usually found in regulatory documents, such as the Collier
County Land Development Code (LDC), and should be transitioned there. Until such change takes
place, this Policy remains relevant and should be retained, but rewritten. This Policy should be
restructured to improve its formatting as a provision or regulation, perhaps as part of the Conditional
Uses Subdistrict itself.
[Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that the
Master Plan is structured somewhat differently than the FLUE or the IAMP. Change to this Policy is �1

comprehensive re -study of the Master Plan (tentatively scheduled to get underway in 2011) and should
be removed from the / as a proposed revision.]
Policy 1.1.8:
The sites containing existing public educational plants and ancillary plants, and the
undeveloped sites owned by the Collier County School Board for future public educational
plants and ancillary plants, within the GGAMP area, are depicted on the Future Land Use Map
Series in the countywide FLUE and on the Public School Facilities Element Map Series, and
referenced in FLUE Policy 5.14 and Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy 1.2.6. All
of these sites are subject to the general Interlocal Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the
Collier County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and
as subsequently amended and restated, with an effective date of December 2008, and subject
to the implementing land development regulations to be adopted; and, shall be subject to the
School Board Review (SBR) Interlocal Agreement, adopted on May 15, 2003 by the Collier
County School Board and on May 27, 2003 by the Board of County Commissioners, and
subject to the implementing land development regulations. All future educational plants and
ancillary plants shall be allowed in zoning districts as set forth in FLUE Policy 5.14.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained as written
OBJECTIVE 1.2:
Ensure public facilities are provided at an acceptable level of service.
Policy Relevance:
n. There are four (4) policies within this Objective.
Policy 1.2.2:
The Collier County Transportation Department shall continue to explore alternative financing
methods to accelerate paving of lime -rock roads in the Estates.
This Policy, as presently written, is not entirely relevant. The County's transportation planning for the
Estates does not intend to accelerate efforts for improving lime -rock roads, but seeks to find a balance
among all transportation improvements. The County continues to meet levels of service in the Estates
in adherence to its improvement schedule and no acceleration of improvement activities is necessary —
even if additional financing methods are in place. This Objective should be retained, given the
removal of any reference to "accelerate " road paving activities in the Estates.
This Policy should also be expanded to identify another activity for which alternative financing
methods should be explored — that is, for the relocation of public utilities located along the edges of
rights -of -way, where widening or other road projects so dictate. At present, such relocation projects
are financed by gas tax proceeds that could be better used elsewhere, and be made available for
paving lime -rock roads or other purposes.
[Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Suggesting that
consideration for any such change should be deferred until taken up again under a comprehensive re-
study of the Master Plan (tentatively scheduled to get underway in 2011) and should be removed from
the / as a proposed revision.]

GOLDEN GATE AREA MASTER PLAN
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Policy 1.2.4:
Due to the continued use of individual septic systems and private wells within a densely
platted urban area, the Florida Governmental Utilities Authority, or its successor, is
encouraged to expand their sewer and water service area to include all of that area known as
Golden Gate City at the earliest possible time.
This Policy encourages a private utility provider to expand their services to serve all of Golden Gate
City. This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, essentially as written. This Policy should
be rephrased to improve its formatting as a "policy ".
OBJECTIVE 1.3:
The County shall continue to protect and preserve the valuable natural resources within the
Golden Gate area in accordance with the Objectives and Policies contained within Goals 6 and
7 of the Collier County Conservation and Coastal Management Element.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
The above Objective requires the County — as a Policy requirement would — to protect and preserve the
natural resources in accordance with the Conservation and Coastal Management Element. This
Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ", such as, Protect and
preserve the valuable natural resources within the Golden Gate area; followed by a "policy ", such
as:
Policy 1.3.0.1:
The County shall protect and preserve natural resources within the Golden Gate area in
accordance with the Objectives and Policies contained within Goals 6 and 7 of the Collier County
Conservation and Coastal Management Element.
Policy Relevance:
There is one (1) Policy within this Objective.
Policy 1.3.1:
The Collier County Environmental Services Department shall coordinate its planning and
permitting activities within the Golden Gate Area with all other applicable environmental
planning, permitting and regulatory agencies to ensure that all Federal, State and local natural
resource protection regulations are being enforced.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, essentially as written. The referenced department
title should be revised to be current.
OBJECTIVE 1.4:
Through the enforcement of the Land Development Code and the housing and building codes,
Collier County shall continue to provide a living environment within the Golden Gate Area,
which is aesthetically acceptable and enhances quality of life.

n The above Objective requires the County — as a Policy requirement would — to provide an aesthetically
acceptable and quality of life enhancing living environment within the Golden Gate Area. This
Objective should be rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ", such as, Provide a living

Collier County shall provide a living environment that is aesthetically acceptable and enhances
the quality of life through the enforcement of the Land Development Code and the housing and
building codes.
Policy Relevance:
There is one (1) Policy within this Objective.
Policy 1.4.1:
The County's Code Enforcement Board shall strictly enforce the Land Development Code to
control illegal storage of machinery, vehicles, and junk, and the illegal operation of commercial
activities within the Golden Gate Area.
This Policy targets a small set of potential violations, thus implying that only the illegal storage of
certain items and illegal operation of business ventures affect the Estates aesthetically or diminish the
quality of life. It is more likely, however, that the living environment is effected by other development,
n uses and activities. This Policy remains relevant nonetheless, and should be expanded to consider
other historical and probable enforcement issues.

PROJECT (SGGE), AS PART OF THE FEDERAL SAVE OUR EVERGLADES PROGRAM, THAT
AREA WHICH LIES SOUTH OF STATE ROAD 84 TO US 41, IS AN AREA OF SPECIAL
ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY AND IS BIOLOGICALLY AND HYDROLOGICALLY IMPORTANT.

County will coordinate with DEP in an effort to assist the State's acquisition of privately owned
property within SGGE to the extent consistent with the recognition of existing private property
rights.
Objective Achievement Anal
The above Objective requires the County to coordinate with the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection in State efforts to acquire property. Properties in SGGE have been purchased and this
Objective, along with its subsequent Policies, should be revised to reflect what remains of the County's
coordination efforts, or involvement, with the Picayune Strand Restoration Project. This Objective

This Policy requires the County to develop a schedule for creating a Golden Gate City community
planning program. Although Golden Gate City is part of a decades -old master planned community,
this Golden Gate Area Master Plan and of the FLUE, this Policy remains relevant to the extent that it
supports a community planning program. The date reference should be deleted. This Policy should
also be re- written to remove the County as the initiating entity mandated with this task. The private
sector has a better understanding of the issues identified and, ability to organize and initiate such a task
among these stakeholders.

Policy 4.1.2:
By 2006, Collier County shall begin to examine, by holding community meetings, the feasibility
of establishing neighborhood -based planning programs within Golden Gate City that focus on
the unique or distinct features of the different portions of the community. While focusing on
distinct areas within the community, such neighborhood planning efforts as may be
established shall not neglect Golden Gate City as a whole.
This Policy requires the County to determine the feasibility of establishing neighborhood -based
planning programs in creating a Golden Gate City community planning program. This Policy remains
relevant to the extent that it supports examining optional elements of a community planning program.
As with the Policy above, the date reference should be deleted. This Policy should also be re- written

GOAL 5: FUTURE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT WITHIN GOLDEN GATE ESTATES WILL
BALANCE THE DESIRE BY RESIDENTS FOR URBAN AMENITIES WITH THE PRESERVATION
OF THE AREA'S RURAL CHARACTER, AS DEFINED BY WOODED LOTS, THE KEEPING OF
LIVESTOCK, THE ABILITY TO GROW CROPS, WILDLIFE ACTIVITY, LOW - DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, AND LIMITATIONS ON COMMERCIAL AND CONDITIONAL
USES.

CHARACTER, AS DEFINED BY WOODED LOTS, THE KEEPING OF LIVESTOCK, THE
ABILITY TO GROW CROPS, WILDLIFE ACTIVITY, LOW - DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT, AND LIMITATIONS ON COMMERCIAL AND CONDITIONAL USES.
OBJECTIVE 5.1:
By 2006, the Collier County Land Development Code shall be amended to provide for new
commercial development within Neighborhood Centers.
Objective Achievement Anal
The above Objective requires the County — as a Policy requirement would — to amend the LDC to ?011*N
allow commercial development in Neighborhood Centers located in Golden Gates Estates. LDC
provisions allow for commercial development in these Neighborhood Centers. Any restudy efforts of
the Golden Gate Area Master Plan undertaken in the future should pursue specific studies to ensure any
new commercial land uses considered are consistent with the Goals and Objectives of this Master Plan
to preserve the area's rural character.
In determining whether new commercial uses are appropriate or inappropriate and whether the desired
rural characteristics may be compromised or diminished, the County should refer to Toward Better
Places - The Community Character Plan for Collier County, Florida. The Community Character Plan
provides the County with a policy document featuring the most useful aspects of traditional
neighborhood design (TND), smart growth, new urbanism and other contemporary planning practices.
Objective 7 and its Policies 7.1 through 7.7, of the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) were approved
on October 26, 2004 by the Board of County Commissioners in early efforts to incorporate certain
"Smart Growth" provisions into the FLUE. The Community Character Plan is a more valuable
resource however, and stands to provide the relevant information and useful direction needed to
preserve the Golden Gate Estates area's rural character. .
Consideration should be given to revisions that recognize the importance of reducing VMT and GHG
emissions in furtherance of HB 697.

Policy Relevance:
There is a single (1) Policy within this Objective.
Policy 5.1.1:
Consistent with public safety requirements, street, recreational and structure lighting within
Golden Gate Estates shall be placed, constructed and maintained in such manner as to
prevent or reduce light pollution. In implementing this Policy, the County shall apply the
following standards:
n a. If a streetlight or an area light is required, it shall be of the type specified
to protect neighboring properties from direct glare. Area lighting shall be shielded
such that direct rays do not pass property lines. Low - pressure sodium lamps are
encouraged while halogen type lights are discouraged.
1. Where required, the street lamp shall be of the high pressure sodium type and have
a "cobra head with flat bottom" style or be fully shielded so that light is directed
only downward. Street lamps shall be mounted on a wood pole at a height and
wattage recommended by the appropriate electric utility and as appropriate for a
rural area.
2. Parking lot lamps shall be low- pressure sodium type lamps and shall be mounted so
that they point downward without direct rays extending past the parking lot, building
entrance, walkway, or other area intended to be illuminated.
b. Where lighting of recreational areas is required, such lighting shall be mounted so as to
focus illumination on the areas intended to be illuminated, and to limit the amount of
light that extends outside of the intended area.
c. This Policy shall not apply to Tract 124 and the north 150 feet of Tract 126, Unit 12,
Golden Gate Estates, located in the southwest quadrant of the Wilson and Golden Gate
Boulevards Neighborhood Center.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained and should be expanded. This Policy offers LDC-
type standards for street, recreational and structure lighting within Golden Gate Estates as the single
planning idea for new commercial development within Neighborhood Centers.

OBJECTIVE 5.2:
The provision of public infrastructure shall be balanced with the need to preserve the rural
character of Golden Gate Estates.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
The abovd-Objective requires the County — as a Policy requirement would — to give consideration to
the rural character of the Estates in their planning of public infrastructure. This Objective should be
rephrased to improve its formatting as an "objective ", such as, Balance the provision of public
infrastructure with the need to preserve the rural character of Golden Gate Estates.
Because there are both public and private utilities planned or provided in the rural areas of Golden
Gate Estates, this Objective could also be revised to affect the planning and provision of all
infrastructures.
Policy Relevance:
There are three (3) policies within this Objective.
Policy 5.2.1:
Future road and bridge improvements in Golden Gate Estates shall not only provide for safety
and reasonable mobility, but shall also contribute to the rural character of the area.
Transportation improvements shall be designed in context with their setting.
Consideration should be given to revisions that recognize the importance of reducing VMT and GHG
emissions in furtherance of HB 697.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, essentially as written. The fundamental meaning
of this Policy is intended to be capital road and bridge improvements, yet this meaning may be
misinterpreted from its present format. Add language to clarify.
[Public Comment from February 23, 2010 EAR Public Meeting — Suggesting that future improvements
include more bridges to reduce fuel consumption and improve safety; Bridging waterways, in this
context, is preferred over widening roads to 4 or 6 lanes to reduce miles traveled.]

Policy 5.2.2:
The Collier County Parks and Recreation Department shall create a public network of
greenway corridors within Golden Gate Estates that interconnects public lands and
permanently protected green space. The first segment of greenway shall be in place by 2006.
The greenway network shall consist of interconnected trails and paths which allow people to
move about the Estates Area by means other than motorized vehicles. All greenways shall be
constructed within existing or future public rights -of -way. In creating the greenway network,
the County shall not employ eminent domain proceedings.
This Policy requires the County to develop a network of greenways in the Estates. In planning this
network of greenway corridors, the County should refer to Toward Better Places - The Community
Character Plan for Collier County, Florida. The Community Character Plan provides the County with
a policy document featuring the most useful aspects of traditional neighborhood design (TND), smart
growth, new urbanism and other contemporary planning practices. Objective 7 and its Policies 7.1
through 7.7, of the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) were approved on October 26, 2004 by the
Board of County Commissioners in early efforts to incorporate certain "Smart Growth" provisions into
the FLUE. The Community Character Plan is a more valuable resource however, and stands to provide
the relevant information and useful direction needed to develop this network of greenways in the
Golden Gate Estates area.

ensure consistency with the MPO s Bicycle /Pedestrian Master Plan. Consideration should be given to
revisions that recognize the importance of reducing VMT and GHG emissions in furtherance of HB
C%q7
This Policy should be revised to identify The Community Character Plan as a resource and to consider
making full use of it in future planning efforts in the Golden Gate Estates area. This Policy should also
be revised to identify entirely different, or additional, County entities that may be more suited to
carrying out such a program — by another chosen date.

Policy 5.2.3:
Recognizing the existing residential nature of the land uses surrounding the planned 1 -75
interchange at Golden Gate Parkway, as well as the restrictions on conditional uses of the
Conditional Uses Subdistrict of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan, there shall be no further
commercial zoning for properties abutting Golden Gate Parkway between Livingston Road and
Santa Barbara Boulevard. No new commercial uses shall be permitted on properties abutting
streets accessing Golden Gate Parkway within the above - defined segment. This Policy shall
not apply to that existing portion of the Golden Gate Estates Commercial Infill Subdistrict,
which is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Golden Gate Parkway and Santa
Barbara Boulevard.

This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, essentially as written. The "planned" I -75
interchange is completed and this planning reference should be deleted.
OBJECTIVE 5.3:
By 2006, the Collier County Land Development Code shall be amended, as necessary, so as to
provide for the protection of the rural character of Golden Gate Estates. These provisions
shall provide for the preservation of such rural amenities as, but not limited to, wooded lots,
the keeping of livestock, and the ability to grow crops, wildlife activity, and low- density
residential development.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
The above Objective requires the County — as a Policy requirement would — to amend the LDC to
allow rural amenities in Golden Gates Estates. LDC provisions do this. Any restudy efforts of the
Golden Gate Area Master Plan undertaken in the future should pursue specific studies to ensure any
rural -type amenities or land uses considered are consistent with the Goals and Objectives of this
Master Plan to preserve the area's rural character.
In determining whether uses are appropriate or inappropriate and whether the desired rural
characteristics may be compromised or diminished, the County should refer to Toward Better Places -

OWECTIVE 6.1:
The Collier County Transportation Division will continue to increase the number of route
alternatives for traffic moving through the Golden Gate Area in both east -west and north -south
directions, consistent with neighborhood traffic safety considerations, and consistent with the
preservation of the area's rural character.
Objective Achievement Analysis:
The above Objective provides for the preservation of the rural character of the Estates and the
consideration of neighborhood traffic safety in planning for the improvements to the roadway network
throughout the Golden Gate area. The number of route alternatives for traffic is limited by physical
obstacles, fiscal constraints or other impediments, and increases cannot be continued indefinitely.
This Objective should be revised to reflect an understanding that limited opportunities for new
corridors will not allow a continuing increase in developing alternative routes, while bridges,
interconnections and other improvements to existing corridors will provide for the safe and efficient
movement of traffic.
This Objective should also be expanded to introduce the planning for and development of mass transit
and the full spectrum of mobility options. In doing so, the priorities set forth in the below Policies will
be reconsidered to reflect a balance among increasing route alternatives, enhancing roadway

In planning to increase the number of route alternatives through the Estates Area, the Collier
County Transportation Division will prioritize the following routes over other alternatives:
a. The extension of Vanderbilt Beach Road from its current terminus to DeSoto Boulevard.
b. The development of a north -south connection from the eastern terminus of White
Boulevard to Golden Gate Boulevard.
c. The development of a new east -west roadway crossing the Estates Area south of
Golden Gate Boulevard.
This Policy remains relevant and should be retained, essentially as written. Consideration should be
given to revisions that recognize the importance of reducing VMT and GHG emissions in furtherance
of HB 697. Additional route alternatives are planned in Golden Gate Estates by the East of 951
Bridge Program. The Program should be identified as a new item "d" on the list above. This Policy
may be revised to clarify that the a -b -c order of the items listed does not in itself imply the priority of
one listing over another. No prioritization is implied or should be inferred from the order of the items
listed.

C. Future Land Use Designation Description — Assessment of Select Provisions
In addition to the above Assessment of GGAMP Goals, Objectives and Policies, staff provides below
an Assessment of select portions of the Land Use Designation Description Section.
2. ESTATES DESIGNATION
A. Estates — Mixed Use District
3. Conditional Uses Subdistrict
Various types of conditional uses are permitted in the Estates zoning district within the Golden Gate
Estates area. In order to control the location and spacing of new conditional uses, one of the
following four sets of criteria shall be met:
a) Essential Services Conditional Use Provisions:
Those Essential Services Conditional Uses, as identified within Section 2.01.03 G. of the Collier
County Land Development Code, may be allowed anywhere within the Estates Zoning District, except
as prohibited in certain Neighborhood Centers, and are defined as:
• electric or gas generating plants,
• effluent tanks,
• major re -pump stations,
• sewage treatment plants, including percolation ponds,
• hospitals and hospices,
• water aeration or treatment plants,
• governmental facilities (except for those Permitted Uses identified in Section 2.01.03 of the
Land Development Code),
• public water supply acquisition, withdrawal, or extraction facilities, and
• public safety service facilities and other similar facilities.
Provision Assessment:
This provision, in varying iterations, has existed in the GGAMP since its adoption in 1991 and remains
appropriate. However, the LDC reference and/or list of uses may not encompass all essential services,
e.g. communication towers which are listed in LDC Sec. 2.01.03 G., Sec. 5.05.09, and in various
zoning districts. Additionally, the reference to the Estates zoning district fails to capture all zoning
districts found in the Golden Gate Estates area, e.g. P, Public Use zoning at Max Hasse Park.
The County recommends revising the LDC reference and/or list of essential services uses to
encompass all essential services uses relevant to the Golden Gate Estates area, and expanding the
referenced zoning district listed to encompass all relevant zoning districts in Golden Gate Estates
and/or adding reference to the Estates Designation.
2. ESTATES DESIGNATION
B. Estates — Commercial District
3. Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict
Recognizing the unique development pattern and characteristics of surrounding land uses, the llel�
Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict has been designated on the Golden Gate Area Future
26
GOLDEN GATE AREA MASTER PLAN

/1_1%
Land Use Map. The Subdistrict is comprised of the following properties: Tract 71, Golden Gate
Estates, Unit 23; and the East 165 feet of Tract 54, Golden Gate Estates, Unit 23. See Randall
Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict Map.
a) The Criteria for the Subdistrict are as follows:
All commercial development is encouraged to be in the form of a PUD.
Projects directly abutting Estates zoned property shall provide, at a minimum, a 75 -foot buffer
of retained native vegetation in which no parking or water management uses are permitted;
except that, when abutting conditional uses no such buffer is required.
Shared parking shall be required with adjoining developments whenever possible.
b) Limitation of Uses - Uses shall be limited to the following:
• Automobile Service Station;
• Barber & Beauty Shops;
• Convenience Stores;
• Drug Stores;
• Food Markets;
• Hardware Stores;
• Laundries - Self Service Only;
• Post Offices and Professional Offices;
• Repair Shops - Radio, TV, Small Appliances and Shoes;
• Restaurants, including fast food restaurants but not drive -in restaurants
• Shopping Center;
• Veterinary Clinics with no outside kenneling.
Provision Assessment:
The specific list of uses in this subdistrict has existed in the GGAMP since its adoption in 1991 and
was taken from a PUD approved prior to 1991. On April 14, 2009, the BCC approved an Appeal of a
Zoning Verification Letter (Resolution 2009 -99) having the effect of allowing all uses of the C -2
zoning district in the LDC at that time, under the term "shopping center."
The County recommends replacing the term "shopping center" with reference to C -2 uses (perhaps,
"All Permitted Uses of the C -2, Convenience Commercial, zoning district in the Collier County Land
Development Code, Ordinance 04 -41, as amended, as of April 14, 2009 ").

GOLDEN GATE AREA MASTER PLAN
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Immokalee Area Master Plan Element
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP) is an "optional element," under Section 163.3177(7),
Florida Statutes. As such, there are no specific criteria to guide the format and purposes of this
Element. The Immokalee Area Master Plan was originally developed, as mandated by (1988)
Policy 6.4 of the Future Land Use Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan.
ISSUE BACKGROUND
Work on the original Master Plan began with the appointment of a Technical Advisory
Committee in November 1988. An initial public workshop was held in February 1989, and
subsequent informational workshops were held periodically, thereafter. The Collier County
Board of County Commissioners adopted the Immokalee Area Master Plan, as an element of the
County's Growth Management Plan, on February 5, 1991. The first set of amendments to the
plan, involving changes to both the-text and the Immokalee Future Land Use Map, were adopted
in 1993.
In 1996, based upon recommendations contained in Collier County's adopted Evaluation and
Appraisal Report (EAR), staff initiated amendments to the Immokalee Area Master Plan. Unlike
the 1988 — 1991 process, the process initiated in 1996 did not involve an advisory committee
specific to the Immokalee Area. Instead, the proposed IAMP amendments were formulated and
reviewed by staff, aided by an Evaluation & Appraisal Report Advisory Committee, which also
helped staff formulate and review amendments to other Elements of the Growth Management
Plan. The EAR -based amendments affected virtually the entire Immokalee Area Master Plan,
including the Immokalee Area Future Land Use Map. Various subdistrict boundaries were
revised and two new subdistricts were created. Based upon the EAR recommendations, in
October of 1997, the Board of County Commissioners adopted an Ordinance enacting the revised
Master Plan.
The BCC adopted the Second EAR for the GMP on July 27, 2004. Such EAR called for
revisions to the Immokalee Area Master Plan to be prepared as part of the subsequent County's
EAR -based amendments. During 2003, as part of the preparation of the EAR, the BCC
authorized Comprehensive Planning staff to prepare recommendations for revising the 1997
IAMP. Subsequently, the Board authorized creation of an advisory committee, the Immokalee
Area Master Plan Restudy Committee (Restudy Committee), to work with staff in making
proposed revisions to the IAMP.
The Restudy Committee, assisted by Comprehensive Planning staff, submitted recommendations
to the EAR (for recommended amendments to the IAMP), in November 2003. However, during
the performance of its tasks, the Committee determined that a longer, more intense restudy of the
IAMP was necessary. Therefore, the IAMP Restudy Committee expressed a desire to extend the
life of the Committee so that it could continue to assist the Board with the implementation the
IAMP. The re- established Committee was renamed as the Immokalee Area Master Plan and
Visioning Committee (IMPVC). The BCC adopted Ordinance 04 -62, sunsetting the Immokalee
Area Master Plan Restudy Committee and creating the IMPVC, on September 28, 2004.
I
Immokalee Area Master Plan
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
One of the Committee's first official acts was to direct staff to prepare Request For Proposals
and Scope of Services to hire a consulting firm that would assist the IMPVC in revising the
IAMP. The CRA hired the consulting firm RMPK Group and worked for a period of over four
years conducting public meetings, collecting and analyzing data, and drafting revisions to the
IAMP. This firm prepared a study entitled " Immokalee Inventory and Analysis Report" in May
of 2006, but relinquished their services to the Immokalee CRA in 2008. RWA, Inc. was then
hired and is presently the agent in charge of the proposed amendments to IAMP and subsequent
Land Development Code (LDC) regulations. The IMPVC sunsetted on December 31, 2009 by
Resolution 2009 -306.
A series of public meetings and workshops were held in relation to the preparation of the current
amendment to the IAMP. Agencies involved included the IAMPVC, and Immokalee Community
Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board (CRAAB).
The Immokalee Area Master Plan Element of the GMP is currently in the process of revising and
replacing each existing Goal, Objective and Policy of the IAMP, as well as revising and
replacing all future land use designations on the IAMP and IAMP FLUM. The IAMP is expected
to be adopted during the first quarter of 2011.
In general, the amendment to the IAMP element of the GMP proposes eight new goals, each with
respective objectives and policies; followed by the revised Land Use Designation Description
Section which includes and describes the proposed land use designations that will guide patterns
of development within the Immokalee urban area and further the proposed goals through
standards set forth within such land used designations, and the types of allowed land uses that
could be requested.
The first goal establishes the prioritization of capital projects and other IAMP activities to
accomplish the proposed goals, subject to funding as approved by the BCC on an annual basis.
The second goal prioritizes economic development in regard to opportunities for business and
redevelopment initiatives and incentives that promote social benefits to the Immokalee
community; encourages development away from environmentally sensitive lands; and allows for
agriculture related business within certain areas of the Immokalee urban area. The third goal
deals with housing, as it relates to farm worker and migrant housing needs; conservation and
rehabilitation of housing; and the promotion of affordable workforce and gap housing.
Provisions for public infrastructure and public facilities are dealt with in goal four. The fifth goal
outlines standards and policies related to natural resources. Goal six describes the revised land
use designations in Immokalee. Goal seven relates to development design standards that are
specific to the Immokalee Urban area. Goal eight provides for coordination with certain
agencies. The last portion of the revised IAMMP specifies the changes among each new land use
designation and the density rating system, including density bonuses and the density and
intensity blending provision, and the applicable correlating revisions to the FLUM.
The proposed IAMP intends to implement the Immokalee community's vision, as approved by
the IMPVC, by promoting economic development and efficient delivery of services through
greater density and intensity that encourage dense, clustered development; incorporating smart
growth principles; and by providing greater development flexibility through mixed -use
Subdistricts.
2
Immokalee Area Master Plan
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
/10111 The proposed Plan intends to increase density and intensity as the main mechanism to promote
economic development within the Immokalee Urban Area. Staff acknowledges and supports the
desires of the CRA and IMPVC to promote and diversify economic development in Immokalee.
Specifically:
• Changes in the FLUM proposes the majority of dense, mixed use of commercial and
residential development along the main thoroughfares of Immokalee, surrounded by land
uses that have the highest allowance for density. These higher density areas transition to
lands that are allowed lower density and which are located mainly towards the edge of
the urban area. Industrial development remains in the current general location of the
Immokalee airport.
Increase in density bonuses for mixed use development are meant to incentivize higher
density along the main thoroughfares, and promote the changes in the land use
designations of these areas that would further the proposed GOPs.
The proposed FLUM reduces the amount of residentially designated lands by 636 acres.
This change allows for the re- designation of current Low Residential Designated lands
located around the main thoroughfares of Immokalee. Such existing Low Residential
areas are proposed to be re- designated to allow higher density and non - residential uses in
order to further the proposed GOPs and create transition towards the low density areas.
• In addition, some of the changes, such as the location of the Industrial — Mixed Use
Subdistrict (Iiviv) do not seem to be compatible with the proposed adjacent designations.
However, added development standards, such as specific landscaping buffers between the
industrially designated lands and the residential areas, are meant to ameliorate
compatibility issues between them.
The following are some of the major changes proposed in the IAMP amendment:
• Re- configuration of the wetland boundary that connects to Lake Trafford/Camp Keais
Strand System Overlay (see attached Map 1). This revision was requested by staff.
• The re- designation of the lands within the boundary of the Immokalee Regional Airport
from Industrial (ID) to Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict (APO).
• The addition of ±103 acres of land that are proposed to be removed from the Rural Lands
Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA) and be included within the boundary of the
Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict (APO). (Correlating changes to the countywide
Future Land Use Map Series are not proposed at this time, but will be considered during
adoption hearings.)
• The addition of the "Loop Road," which is proposed to allow access from the Immokalee
Regional Airport and Florida Tradeport areas, to SR82 and SR29.
• Revisions to the land use designations in the IAMP FLUM include:
3
1mmokalee Area Master Plan
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
o An increase in the base density allowed within the mixed use designated areas.
However, no change in base density (DU /A — dwelling units per acre) is proposed
within the Low, Medium, High and RT designated areas:
■ Low Residential: no change (4 DU /A).
■ Medium Residential: no change (6 DU /A)
■ High Residential: no change (8 DU /A)
■ Mixed use: from 12 DU /A allowed within the existing Commerce Center
Mixed Use (CC -MU) and Neighborhood Center (NC) to 16 DU /A allowed
in the proposed Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) designated areas.
■ Recreational Tourist (RT): no change (4 DU /A).
o An increase of about 10 percent in the number of potential dwelling units that
could be developed through base density:
■ A reduction in the base number of potential dwelling units within the Low,
Medium and High Residential designated areas, from 57,230 dwelling
units to 55,829 dwelling units. This change would allow 1,401 less
dwelling units.
■ An increase in the base number of potential dwelling units within the
Mixed -Use designation, from 10,341 dwelling units to 17,670 dwelling
units. This change would allow 7,299 additional dwelling units.
■ An increase in the base number of potential dwelling units within the
Recreational Tourist designation, from 1,005 dwelling units to 1,805
dwelling units. The 800 additional dwelling units is due to the increase in
the amount of acreage proposed to be designated as RT in the revised
FLUM.
The above noted reductions and additions in the base number of potential dwelling
units in the IAMP FLUM, in conjunction with the changes in the amount of acreage
of each land use designation, including the increase in acreage of RT designated
lands, yields an increase in the total base number of potential dwelling units, from
68,576 dwelling units to 75,307 dwelling units. This change represents an additional
6,730 dwelling units that would be allowed in the IAMP.
o Changes in the maximum density (DU /A — dwelling units per acre) allowed
within the low residential (reduction) and mixed use designated areas (increase):
■ Low Residential: from 12 DU /A to 8 DU /A
■ Medium Residential: no change (14 DU /A)
■ High Residential: no change (16 DU /A)
■ Mixed use: from 12 DU /A allowed within the Commerce Center Mixed
Use (CC -MU) and Neighborhood Center (NC) to 20 DU /A allowed in the
proposed Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) designated areas.
■ Recreational Tourist (RT): no change (4 DU /A)
4
Immokalee Area Master Plan
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
o An 18 percent reduction in the maximum number of potential dwelling units that
would be allowed in the IAMP:
■ A reduction in the maximum number of potential dwelling units within the
Low, Medium and High Residential designated areas, from 157,011.4
dwelling units to 113,879.2 dwelling units. This change would allow
43,132.2 less dwelling units.
• An increase in the maximum number of potential dwelling units within the
Mixed -Use designation, from 10,341.6 dwelling units to 22,088 dwelling
units. This change would allow 11,746.4 additional dwelling units.
• An increase in the maximum number of potential dwelling units within the
Recreational Tourist designation, from 1,005 dwelling units to 1,805
dwelling units. This change would allow 800 additional dwelling units due
to the increase in the amount of acreage proposed to be designated as RT
in the FLUM.
The above reductions and additions in the maximum allowed number of potential
dwelling units, in conjunction with the increase in acreage of RT designated lands,
yields a reduction in the total maximum number of potential dwelling units in the
IAMP FLUM, from 168,357.8 dwelling units to 137,774.4 dwelling units. This
change represents a reduction of 30,583.4 dwelling units from what is currently
allowed to be developed in the IAMP.
• An increase in the amount of Recreational Tourist (RT) designated lands: from
±251.2 acres to ±451.8 acres, an increase of ±241 acres. This change would allow
an increase in the potential number of dwelling units, from 1,005 dwelling units to
1 805 dwc11mg units (See Table 3), as well as an increase In the maximum. amount
of potential dwelling units that could be developed.
• An increase on the cap of allowed density that can be requested within the
Immokalee Urban Area, via density bonus, from a maximum of 16 DU /A to a cap
of 20 DU /A.
• A five percent reduction of residential designated lands. This change of over ±636
acres of residential designated lands are proposed to be re- designated to allow
commercial and industrial development, as well as uses that are allowed under the
RT designation.
• An increase in the amount of commercial designated lands: from ±1024.4 acres to
±1,104.4 acres, an increase of ±80 acres of commercial designated lands.
An increase in the amount of industrial designated lands: from 2,643.5 acres to 3,105.4 acres, an
increase of ±462 acres of industrial designated lands. This increase includes the re- designation
from Industrial (ID) to Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict (APO) of 1484.3 acres of land
that are part of the Immokalee Regional Airport boundary.
The proposed Plan includes Objectives and Policies that address HB 697. The Immokalee Area
Master Plan has incorporated language within these Immokalee - specific amendments to address
the energy efficiency issues. Specifically, the following proposed Goals, Objectives and Policies
are designed to comply with HB 697 in the following manner:
5
Immokalee Area Master Plan
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Reducing the number and length of automobile trips (VMT): /"N
Objective 2.2, and its related policies, seeks to diversify the local economy and increase
employment opportunities within the Immokalee Urban Area, thereby lowering the need to
travel greater distances for work or services. Objective 4.2 addresses vehicular and non-
vehicular transportation options and specifically references the need to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions and minimize energy consumption. Policies 4.2.6 and 4.2.7 discuss the need to
improve and expand public transit options in Immokalee. Policy 4.2.8 seeks to evaluate
whether a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area is appropriate for Immokalee. Policy
6.1.5 specifically states that compact mixed -use development patterns are encouraged to
create walkable communities, reduce vehicle miles traveled and increase energy efficiency.
Promoting alternative modes of transportation:
Objective 4.2 addresses non - vehicular transportation options and specifically references the
need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and minimize energy consumption. Policy 4.2.2
references the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and Policy 4.2.5 recognizes the need, to-improve
safety for pedestrians and bicycles. Policies 4.2.6 and 4.2.7 discuss the need to improve and
expand public transit options in Immokalee. Objective 7.1 recognizes the need for
Immokalee- specific land development regulations that will encourage pedestrian friendly
urban form and promote energy efficiency. Policy 7.1.2 encourages new community facilities
to be within a half -mile of residential and mixed use centers to encourage walking, bicycling
and non - vehicular travel.
Allowing for compact mixed -use development patterns:
Goal 6, and its related Objectives and Policies, pertain to land use and specifically reference
allowing and encouraging a mixture of uses. Objective 6.1 references the need to coordinate
the Future Land Use Map that encourages desirable growth and energy efficient development
patterns. Policy 6.1.5 specifically states that the Immokalee area encourages compact mixed -
use development patterns to create walkable communities, reduce vehicle miles traveled and
increase energy efficiency. Policy 4.1.2 encourages future parks to be located in the most
densely populated areas, and recognizes the need for public plazas, greens and urban parks to
make Immokalee more pedestrian friendly. Objective 7.1, and its related policies, recognizes
the need for Immokalee - specific land development regulations that will encourage pedestrian
friendly urban form and promote energy efficiency. Policy 7.1.2 recognizes that new
community facilities should be within walking distance to mixed use and residential centers.
Policies 7.1.2, 7.1.3 and 7.1.4 all relate to compact, mixed -use, urban design criteria. The
Urban -Mixed Use district allows for commercial development within the Residential
Subdistricts, as described in the Land Use Designation Description section. Density bonuses
are also allowed for projects that are proximate to Commercial Uses.
Allowing for higher densities in appropriate places, which reduces the per capita
carbon footprint, supports transit and reduces sprawl.
Policy 7.1.5 also encourages high intensity development in Immokalee through the
development of a Central Business District overlay subdistrict in the Land Development
Code. The Urban-Mixed Use district and subdistricts, as referenced in the Land Use
Designation Description section, allow for higher residential densities. The base residential
densities range from four (4) units per acre for Low Residential (LR) subdistrict to ten (10)
6
Immokalee Area Master Plan
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
dwelling units per acre in High Residential (HR) and sixteen (16) in the Commercial -Mixed
Use subdistricts. Density bonuses are also allowed for projects that are proximate to
Commercial Uses or in infill areas, as well as for providing affordable - workforce housing.
The revisions to the IAMP are intended to implement the Immokalee community's vision, as
approved by promoting economic development and efficient delivery of services through greater
density and intensity that encourage dense, clustered development; incorporating smart growth
principles; and by providing greater development flexibility through mixed -use Subdistricts.
[Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Would like to
have the provisions contained in Policy 5.1.4. of the proposed Immokalee Area Master Plan
(IAMP)be resolved during the adoption hearings in regard to this plan. The CCPC also
suggested that in the case that the work related to resolving the provisions of the proposed
Policy 5.1.4. requires further analysis, then the provisions are to be resolved as part of the
adoption, hearing of the 2011 EAR.]
[Recommendation from October 14, 2010 South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)

ECONOMIC ELEMENT
Introduction and Background
The purpose of this Element is to serve as a set of guidelines to assess the impacts of growth
management decisions on the County's economic vitality. The Element also addresses certain
requirements of the Southwest Florida Strategic Regional Plan regarding economic issues.
It must be noted that the Economic Element only encourages, and does not mandate, that the County
consider economic matters in relation to its overall planning and growth management strategy, as
reflected in the other Elements of this Growth Management Plan (GMP). In considering whether to
adopt changes or modifications to the GMP or the Land Development Code, the Board of County
Commissioners must weigh the relative importance of many factors, of which economic impacts are
not always the most significant.
The Economic Element contains a single Goal and six (6) Objective Areas. These Objective Areas
are:
1. The Conservation and Enhancement of Natural, Cultural & Social
Resources.
2. Expanding and Enhancing the Tourism Industry.
3. New and Existing Industries.
4. Nonprofit and Civic Organizations & Local Groups /Programs.
5. Expansion and Development of Educational Facilities and Programs.
6. Development Regulations.
The below evaluation of the Goal, Objectives and Policies of the Economic Element has been a
collaborative effort between the Collier County Economic Development Council (EDC) and
Comprehensive Planning.
GOAL: COLLIER COUNTY WILL ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN A DIVERSIFIED AND STABLE
ECONOMY BY PROVIDING A POSITIVE BUSINESS CLIMATE THAT ASSURES MAXIMUM
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES WHILE MAINTAINING A HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE.
OBJECTIVE 1 (The Conservation and Enhancement of Natural, Cultural and Social Resources):
Collier County will encourage the conservation and enhancement of those natural, cultural,
and social resources that represent the foundation of the County's existing retirement,
recreation, and tourist - oriented economy, in order to place the County in a competitive
position to enable the retention and expansion of these and other business opportunities.
Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text be remain.
The County still maintains a position of strengthening the attributes which contributes to its
competitive advantage regarding a sense of place which attracts new working and retired residents, as
well as seasonal residents and short term visitors. The proposed revisions will be to clarify the purpose
of the objective, as proposed below.
OBJECTIVE 1 (The Conservation and Enhancement of Natural, Cultural and Social Resources): Collier

County's which lamely relies on seasonal residents and short term visitors and retired residents,
fit; particularly the recreation, hospitality and tourism industries * ^r-iefAed °^eaefn , in order to place
the County in a the most advantageous eempetitive position to eftable the retain entie and expand lien e€ these
and other similar or related businesses eppeftunities.
Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — The CCPC felt the
renumbering of the Objectives as suggested by staff was unnecessary.
Policy 1.2: Collier County will support the opportunity for development and establishment of
hospitals, nursing homes and additional medical related facilities in order to promote a
continuum of care to enhance the quality of life throughout the County.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text be revised.
As part of the means to make the County more attractive to a growing aging population, the attention
and support of medical related facilities is essential. To further provide clarification the inclusion of
medical related research and manufacturing facilities, is being proposed to be included within the
facilities promoted.
OBJECTIVE 2 (Expanding and Enhancing the Tourism Industry): Collier County will support
programs that are designed to expand and enhance the tourism industry.
1"�
Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text be revised.
A central tenant of the composition of the Collier County economy lies within Tourism, not only for
short term economic opportunities that tourist bring to the County, but the continual exposure of the
County to potential new full time and seasonal residents who first experience the County through
tourist opportunities have long term economic ramifications. The objective is being proposed to be
modified by adding the words — "hospitality and the tourism industry"
OBJECTIVE 3 (New and Existing Industries): Collier County will support programs which are
designed to promote and encourage the recruitment of new industry as well as the expansion
and retention of existing industries in order to diversify the County's economic base.
Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remains.
The economic strategy employed by the County is a two prong approach; job creation through
strengthening existing industries as well as active marketing to firms outside of the local market
through recruitment efforts.
Policy 3.1: Collier County will support efforts to formulate an economic development plan to
assist local organizations in fostering the expansion and diversification of the County's
economic base.

Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text be revised.
Collier County's financial commitment to the Collier County Economic Development Council is a
direct effort to support and enrich the business environment. Additionally, the BCC recently approved the
position of Economic Development Director to provide additional attention and resources to this critical effort.
Based upon these two factors the policy is being proposed to be expanded as provided below.
Policy 3.1: Collier County will support efforts by the Economic Development Council of Collier County
to formulate ap five -year economic development plan f^ assist len-al eFgaRizatiens in fnStP -FiRg the to
specifically identify the steps to be taken to achieve expansion and diversification of the County's
economy +s base.
Policy 3.3: Collier County will support the preparation of an annual report on the progress of
economic development in the County.
Policy Achievement Anal Collier County recommends text be revised.
The preparation of an annual report detailing the economic progress and specifics of existing programs is an
effort which helps provided the business community a wider breadth of understanding of the business
environment fostered by the County and potential opportunities within the County. The policy is being
proposed as modified below.
Policy 3.3: Collier County will suppeFt -#fie atien 0 f prepare an annual report on the progress of
economic development and diversification, in * "� specifically as it relates to achieving the
objectives set forth in the five -year economic development plan referenced in Policy 3.1
Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Remove the
reference to the EDC in the proposed policy.
Policy 3.8: Collier County, in coordination with appropriate entities, will continue programs
that encourage and assist in the location of new companies that build on the traditional
economic base.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text be revised.
Attention to the core components of the Collier Economy is a central tenant of the economic platform
endorsed by the County and will continue to be as the County moves forward with its economic
diversification efforts.
Planning Commission (CCPC) Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — Would like to see
traditional economic base articulated in policy.
Policy 3.9: Collier County will support the preparation of an annual report on the progress of
existing industry expansions and traditional industry starts.
le—*- . Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text be deleted.
The policy is redundant, with the annual report provided for in policy 3.3.
Cl4"O kIf YICWXAtXA�Il
Policy 3.14: Collier County has adopted a comprehensive program of economic incentives
that are designed to attract new businesses and develop the local workforce for such
businesses. These incentives include:
a. An impact fee payment assistance program for either new or expanding targeted industries;
b. A job creation investment program for the relocation or expansion of targeted industries;
c. A property tax stimulus program providing payments to offset the costs associated with the
relocation and/or expansion of targeted industries; and,
d. An advanced broadband infrastructure investment program, which provides
payments to businesses that are either installing or expanding broadband
communications systems.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text relocated.
The County has identified the above means to reduce locational barriers faced by firms entering into
the Collier market and will continue to do so in the future and the development of the Project
Innovation initiative is direct evidence of this commitment.
Planning Commission (CCPQ Comment from August 25, 2010 EAR Workshop — remove this policy
and relocate to either the Housing Element or the Immokalee Area Master Plan.
OBJECTIVE 4 (Nonprofit and Civic Organizations and Local Groups /Programs): Collier County
will support the economic development goals, efforts and community involvement of nonprofit
organizations, civic associations and local groups and programs.

Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends be revised.
Support to these groups or organizations are part of the overall support for attempts to bring diversity
and sustainability to the Collier economic mix. The Objective is proposed to be revised to provide
further clarification to it purpose as detailed below.
OBJECTIVE 4 (Nonprofit and Civic Organizations and Local Groups /Programs): Recognizing the
significant economic and social benefits and the overall quality of place attributable in large part to the
vast array of nonprofit organizations, civic and community associations, and other local groups and
programs in Collier County and in the southwest Florida region, the County will support the
community involvement efforts and economic development goals of such organizations, associations,
groups and programs.
•
Policy 4.1: Collier County will support the economic development initiatives of regional
nonprofit organizations.
Policy Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text be revised, as suggested at the

nonprofit organizations, goals and efforts of countywide organizations and efforts of localized
organizations.
OBJECTIVE 5 (Expansion and Development of Educational Facilities and Programs): Collier
County will encourage the expansion and development of educational facilities and programs
that complement economic development and diversification.
Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remains.
Successful economic development strategies understand the necessity of linking educational
institutions to specific industries to assist within technology transfer and product and process
innovation. Additionally, a strong educational linkage to industry ensures a yearly supply of fresh
talent and ideas for existing business to draw upon and stands as a required infrastructure for a locality
to provide similar to other locational infrastructure requirements.
OBJECTIVE 6 (Development Regulations): Collier County will maintain a system of
development regulations that will promote the accomplishment of the goals, objectives, and
policies of this Element.
Objective Achievement Analysis: Collier County recommends text remains.
The level of complexity associated with the development regulations of the County must weigh the
protections being sought against the barriers they create for new business starts and existing business
expansion. Attention must be paid to both sides of the balance.
Policy 6.1 Collier County will periodically review its land development regulations for
consistency with the Collier County Growth Management Plan to promote the accomplishment
of the goals, objectives and policies of this Element.

PSFE SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES
Assessment of the Successes and Shortcomings
and Recommendations
for the Public School Facilities Element
A. Background and Introduction
In 2005, the Florida Legislature enacted legislation (Senate Bill 360) amending Sections
163.3177 and 163.3180, F.S., requiring the establishment of concurrency for public school
facilities not granted an exception. The implementation of school concurrency requires local
governments to establish level of service standards for concurrency for public schools and adopt
a Public School Facilities Element into their comprehensive plans.
In 2008, in response to this legislative requirement, the Collier County School Board, Collier
County and the municipalities within the County, coordinated the adoption of the Public Schools
Facilities Element along with amendments to the Intergovernmental Coordination and Capital
Improvements Elements to ensure consistency among the local governments' comprehensive
plan elements and the School Board's plans.
The Public Schools Facilities Element implements a uniform, district -wide public school
concurrency system requiring concurrency for public schools be met before development orders
are issued.
The Collier County School District has a current enrollment of 42,849 students in grades pre -
kmde garten through bweiiui grade based on the school enrollment census taken in October zuoy.
The Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) capacity for existing core facilities can serve
48,257 students. The District reports that by year 2019, the projected student enrollment
numbers are expected to grow to over 49,800 students. In order to meet the district -wide level of
service standard of 100 percent for high schools, and 95 percent for both elementary and middle
schools, within the five year planning horizon, an elementary school expansion to add 162 seats
is planned and programmed within the District's Five -Year Work Plan. The Collier County
School District currently meets the adopted level of service standards for public school facilities.
School concurrency capacity projects identified in the School District's Five -Year Work Plan do
not require Collier County to provide capital improvements for those projects within the five -
year planning period. Based on student enrollment projections and the elementary school
expansion planned and programmed in year 2014/2015, Collier County will continue to meet the
adopted level of service standards for public school facilities for the five -year planning period.
B. Element Review
Less than two years have passed since the Public School Facilities Element was adopted. During
that time period the County experienced a decline in residential development and an
outmigration of its population. As a result, school facility construction lessened and projects
r planned within the School District's 5 -Year Capital Improvement Plan were moved into later
N
PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT
planning years. Since the school concurrency program generally remains unchanged since its i"�
adoption, the County is proposing minimal changes to PSFE at this time. Proposed changes to
the Element include: deleting a paragraph within Policy 2.3 and deleting Policy 2.5 to reflect the
adoption of implementing school concurrency provisions within the Land Development Code in
June 2010; and, revising Policy 3.6 to reflect the establishment of a Citizen Advisory Group and
provide that the planning and monitoring of school concurrency by the CAG is ongoing.
C. Objective Analysis
OBJECTIVE 2: RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
The County, in cooperation with the School District, shall ensure a school concurrency
evaluation is performed on all non - exempt residential development to verify that new
students can be accommodated within the adopted level of service standard established
for each school type as measured within a CSA.
[This Objective is provided for contextual purposes only; no change is proposed]
Policy 2.3:
The County, through its land development regulations, and in conjunction with the
School District, shall establish a school concurrency review process for all residential
development projects that are not exempt under Policy 2.2 of this Element. The following
are the minimum review process requirements for all non - exempt residential
development:
A. Submittal of a residential development application including a School Impact
Analysis (SIA) to the County for sufficiency review.
B. Determination of completeness by the County. If deemed complete, the County
shall transmit the application, including the SIA, to the School District for
review.
C. Review of the application, by the School District, for available capacity, and
issuance of a School Capacity Availability Determination Letter (SCADL) within
20 days after receipt of a complete application from the County.
The School District shall identify the following in the SCADL:
1. Available capacity within the affected CSA.
2. If capacity is not available within the affected CSA, the available capacity
within one or more of the adjacent CSAs. (If the affected CSA does not
contain a particular school type (elementary, middle, high), the adjacent
CSAs shall be evaluated for available capacity.)
3. If capacity is not available in the adjacent CSAs, the School District shall
indicate that the development is not in compliance with the adopted LOSS
and offer the applicant the opportunity to negotiate a mitigation plan within
a 90 day period.
PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT
/ lk"
The Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency
and this Public School Facilities Element shall provide the process necessary to
determine available school capacity for all residential projects that are not exempt under
Policy 2.2 of this Element, until such time as land development regulations (LDRs) are
adopted. In the event that one of the documents listed above is not in effect prior to LDR
adoption, the other document shall provide the process necessary to determine available
school capacity for all non - exempt residential projects.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The Policy remains relevant and should be retained. However, the last paragraph should be
deleted, as this policy objective has been achieved with the adoption of Land Development Code
regulations in 2010.
Policy 2.5:
Within one (1) year from the effective date of the School Concurrency Growth
Management Plan amendments, the County shall adopt school concurrency provisions
into its Land Development Regulations (LDRs) to implement school concurrency.
Policy Achievement Analysis:
The Policy objective has been achieved with the adoption of Land Development Code
regulations in 2010.
This Policy is no longer relevant and should be deleted.

The County and the School District will: coordinate the location of public schools with the
Future Land Use Map and map series to ensure that existing and proposed school facilities
are located consistent with existing and proposed residential areas they serve and are
proximate to appropriate existing and future land uses, and serve as community focal
points; coordinate the location of public school facilities relative to the location of other
public facilities such as parks, libraries and community centers to the extent possible;
coordinate existing and planned public school facilities with the plans for supporting
infrastructure; establish a monitoring group; and address coordination on emergency
preparedness issues.
Public Comment (Community Meeting held on 3115110):
Public stated that there is a need to coordinate school siting and facility planning with County
infrastructure.

Collier County Evaluation and Appraisal Report
List of Major Issues
1. CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT
As part of its growth management program the County has adopted a variety of measures to
ensure that infrastructure is available when needed to support new development/redevelopment
and that such development pay its fair share. These measures include adopted Level of Service
Standards, a concurrency management system, impact fees, permit and services fees,
proportionate -fair share ordinance, direct cost accounting and a Five -Year Schedule of Capital
Improvements to program the timely construction of needed public facilities. The EAR will
include a series of interrelated evaluations of the actions taken by the County and
recommendations regarding changes needed to better achieve community - planning objectives.
The EAR will evaluate the effectiveness of the concurrency management measures in achieving
and maintaining the adopted level of service standards and ensuring that infrastructure is
available when needed to support development and that development pays for growth related
impacts.
2. %_A_ JU.�ATE CHANGE
The EAR will evaluate the policies and objectives within the GMP for their effectiveness towards
promoting reductions in vehicle miles traveled and corresponding reduction in green house gas
emissions.
3. URBAN DEVELOPMENT PATTERN
The EAR will evaluate the objectives and policies of the GMP for their effect upon the pattern
and timing of urban development throughout the County. The EAR will evaluate the effectiveness
of the urban boundary line and policies related to urban areas in Immokalee.
4. WATER RESOURCE PROTECTION
Evaluate the County's watershed management planning and floodplain management programs
and existing criteria to determine the degree to which related planning objectives have been
achieved.
5. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION
Assess the ongoing coordination between Collier County and surrounding local governments,
other governmental agencies, and special. districts, and assess the effectiveness of the objectives
and policies of the plan and determine if any deficiencies exist or modifications are required. The
EAR will evaluate the effectiveness of the intergovernmental coordination related to the planning
n and provision of potable water.
6. AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Water Resource Protection
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
An evaluation of the objectives and policies of the GMP for their effect on managing water
resource protection throughout the County by promoting mechanisms to protect the County's
estuarine and wetland systems.
ISSUE BACKGROUND
Subsection 163.3177 (5)(d), Florida Statutes requires all local governments within the State of
Florida to have, as part of their respective Local Government Comprehensive Plans, an Element,
dealing with "the conservation, use, and protection of natural resources in the area, including air,
water, water recharge areas, wetlands, water wells, estuarine marshes, soils, beaches, shores,
flood plains, rivers, bays, lakes, harbors, forests, fisheries and wildlife, marine habitat, minerals,
and other natural and environmental resources."
The statute further relates the functions of the Conservation and Coastal Elements so that, in
effect, local governments in designated coastal areas, such as Collier County, are required to
prepare a Conservation and Coastal Management Element, which fulfills the requirements for
both Elements. Accordingly, Collier County's Conservation and Coastal Management Element is
divided into thirteen (13) separate goal areas. These may be summarized as follows:
1. Protection of natural resources;
2. Protection of surface and estuarine water resources;
3. Protection of groundwater resources;
4. Protection of freshwater resources;
5. Protection of mineral and soil resources;
6. Protection of native vegetation and wildlife habitat;
7. Protection of fisheries and wildlife;
8. Maintenance of existing air quality;
9. Management of hazardous materials and hazardous wastes;
10. Protection of coastal resources;
11. Protection of historic resources;
12. Hurricane evacuation and sheltering; and
13. Avoiding duplication of regulations.
Collier County is a large land area of approximately 2000 square miles in southwest Florida.
The topography is extremely flat ranging from a high elevation of approximately forty (40) feet
above sea level in the unincorporated community of Immokalee in the northeastern portion of the
County to the back of a low coastal dune system at approximately four (4) feet at the coastline
along the western and southern portions of the County. The typical ground slope is
approximately one (1) foot per mile in the western half of the County and less than that in the
eastern half of the County. Additionally the area receives an average rainfall of about 53 inches
n with 37 inches during the wet season (June through October). Due to the lack of relief, abundant
I
Water Resource Protection
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
rainfall, highly permeable soils, and proximity to sea level the ground water table is very close to n
the ground surface. The flat topography results in large areas of sheetflow across natural ground,
but canals, road construction, agricultural operations, and urban development have greatly
altered this sheetflow in the western portion of the County.
Collier County, due to the Immokalee Ridge in the northeast, is basically its own drainage
watershed. The shallow topography, with the Immokalee Ridge located in the northeastern
portion of the County near the Lee County and Hendry County boundaries, creates a series of
drainage basins with very little exchange of stormwater crossing County lines. Additionally, in
some locations agricultural and development activities have constructed earthen berms along
their property lines that correspond to the County lines that further define the drainage basin
boundaries. The eastern half of the County is predominantly federally owned wetlands that
receives sheet flow as a part of the Everglades system, but this remains in the eastern half of the
County and continues the flow in a southwesterly direction.
Due to the low gradient terrain and wetland hydrologic features, construction of canals along
section lines and roads, drainage is not uniform and implementation of a uniform level of service
for flood conveyance in all areas of Collier County is not feasible. The County generally
considers a 25 -year 3 -day rainfall event as the design storm for area west of Collier Blvd. (CR-
951) and a 10 -year 1 -day rainfall event as the design storm for the Golden Gate Estates areas east
of Collier Boulevard (CR 951).
Because the soils are so porous the canals drain preserves and shallow aquifers as well as /'*N
residential developments. The shallow aquifers are utilized by suburban and rural residents for
potable water. Additionally the large fresh water discharges, contributed from the development
of the county, during the wet season have been found detrimental to the estuaries. For these
reasons there have been many adjustable water level controls installed in the canal systems to
improve functionality.
The development of Watershed Management Plans and interim regulations is specified in the
Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) Objective 2.1 of the Collier County
Growth Management Plan, as adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on 1 -25 -07
(Ordinance 2007 -16). The Florida Department of Community Affairs reviewed all amendments
to the CCME, including the addition of these "interim standards" and on 5 -2 -07 issued their
Notice of Intent to find the CCME amendments "in compliance" with Florida Statutes. After the
21 -day challenge period ended without a challenge being filed, the amendments to the CCME
became effective on 5- 24 -07.
The interim standards require a new development and re- development projects shall meet 150%
of the water quality volumetric requirements of Section 5.2.1(a) of the Basis of Review for
Environmental Resource Permit Applications (February 2006) and the retention and detention
requirements, and the allowable offsite discharge rates required by Drainage Sub - element Policy
6.2 and 6.3, respectively. The 150% water quality volumetric requirement also applies to the
County's minimum requirement of one (1) inch under Ordinance 90 -10, as amended; thus
increasing the County's minimum requirement to one and one -half (1.5) inches.

inundated by intense rainfall or sheetflow conditions.
Comprehensive Plan Implementation
The Collier County Growth Management Plan addresses the need to complete the prioritization
and begin the process of preparing Watershed Management Plans, which is to contain
appropriate mechanisms to protect the County's estuarine and wetland systems. The process
consist of (1) an evaluation of areas for which Watershed Management Plans are not necessary
based on current or past watershed management planning efforts, (2) an assessment of available
data and information that can be used in the development of Watershed Management .Plans, and
(3) budget authorization to begin preparation of the first Watershed Management Plan. A funding
schedule is established to ensure that all Watershed Management Plans will be completed by
2010. In selecting the order of Plan completion, the County shall give priority to watersheds
where the development growth potential is greatest and will impact the greatest amount of
wetland and listed species habitats. The schedule and priorities shall also be coordinated with the
Federal and State agency plans that address Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). Until the
Watershed Management Plans are completed, The County shall apply the interim standards for
development.
As described in the Collier County Comprehensive Plan, Watershed Management Plans (WMPs)
are to serve as a watershed management tool to guide future development — they are to `'protect
the County's estuarine and wetland systems." They are to help identify areas where state
standards are not currently met and to develop strategies to help meet them in the future. They
are also to identify water management strategies appropriate to each drainage basin that can be
used to guide development, land use changes, and mitigation within that basin.
The County's Watershed Management Plan that is being developed will help protect estuaries
and wetland systems to:
• Restore historical water quantity and estuarine discharges.
• Improve water quality within watersheds and estuaries.
• Address flood control and water supply issues

Water Resource Protection
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
n Water Resource Protection
The following is a partial excerpt of Goals Objectives and Policies from the Collier County
Growth Management Plan that address watershed planning issues.
Introduction
Subsection 163.3177 (5)(d), Florida Statutes requires all local governments within the State of
Florida to have, as part of their respective Local Government Comprehensive Plans, an
Element, dealing with "the conservation, use, and protection of natural resources in the area,
including air, water, water recharge areas, wetlands, water wells, estuarine marshes, soils,
beaches, shores, flood plains, rivers, bays, lakes, harbors, forests, fisheries and wildlife, marine
habitat, minerals, and other natural and environmental resources."
The statute further relates the functions of the Conservation and Coastal Elements so that, in
effect, local governments in designated coastal areas, such as Collier County, arp- required to
prepare a Conservation and Coastal Management Element, which fulfills the requirements for
both Elements. Accordingly, Collier County's Conservation and Coastal Management Element is
divided into thirteen (13) separate goal areas. These may be summarized as follows:
1. Protection of natural resources;
2. Protection of surface and estuarine water resources;
3. Protection of groundwater resources;
4. Protection of freshwater resources;
5. Protection of mineral and soil resources;
6. Protection of native vegetation and wildlife habitat;
7. Protection of fisheries ar�d wildlife;
8. Maintenance of existing air quality;
9. Management of hazardous materials and hazardous wastes;
10. Protection of coastal resources;
11. Protection of historic resources;
12. Hurricane evacuation and sheltering; and
13. Avoiding duplication of regulations.
CONSERVATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
January 25, 2007
Policy 1.3.5:
Where possible, the implementation of the NRPA program shall be coordinated with the
preparation and implementation of watershed and sub -basin management plans.
GOAL 2: THE COUNTY SHALL PROTECT ITS SURFACE AND ESTUARINE
WATER RESOURCES.
Objective 2.1:
By January 2008, the County shall complete the prioritization and begin the process of preparing
Watershed Management Plans, which contain appropriate mechanisms to protect the County's
n estuarine and wetland systems. The process shall consist of (1) an evaluation of areas for which
Watershed Management Plans are not necessary based on current or past watershed management
7
Water Resource Protection
Updated for December 201 0 CCPC Adoption Consideration
planning efforts, (2) an assessment of available data and information that can be used in the
development of Watershed Management Plans, and (3) budget authorization to begin preparation
of the first Watershed Management Plan by January 2008. A funding schedule shall be
established to ensure that all Watershed Management Plans will be completed by 2010. In
selecting the order of Plan completion, the County shall give priority to watersheds where the
development growth potential is greatest and will impact the greatest amount of wetland and
listed species habitats. The schedule and priorities shall also be coordinated with the Federal and
State agency plans that address Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). Until the Watershed
Management Plans are completed, the County shall apply the following as interim standards for
development:
a. All new development and re- development projects shall meet 150% of the water quality
volumetric requirements of Section 5.2.1(a) of the Basis of Review for Environmental
Resource Permit Applications Within the South Florida Water Management District
(February 2006) and the retention and detention requirements, and the allowable offsite
discharge rates required by Drainage Sub - element Policy 6.2 and 6.3, respectively;
b. Loss of storage or conveyance volume resulting from direct impacts to wetlands shall be
compensated for by providing an equal amount of storage or conveyance capacity on site
and within or adjacent to the impacted wetland.
c. Floodplain storage compensation shall be evaluated for developments within the
designated flood zones "A ", "AE ", and "VE" as depicted on the Flood Insurance Rate
Maps published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency with an effective date of
November 17, 2005. Floodplain storage compensation shall also be evaluated for areas
known to be periodically inundated by intense rainfall or sheetflow conditions.
d. All development located within areas identified on Figure 1 shall be evaluated to
determine impacts to natural wetlands, flowways, or sloughs. For this particular
evaluation, natural wetlands, flowways, or sloughs shall be tentatively identified as
contiguous lands having a continual preponderance of wetland or wet facultative plant
species and a ground elevation through the major portion of the natural wetland,
flowway, or slough at least one (1) foot lower than the ground at the edge of the natural
wetland, flowway, or slough. The edge of the natural wetlands, flowways, or sloughs
shall be identified by field determination and based upon vegetation and elevation
differences from the adjacent uplands or transitional wetlands. The County shall require
the applicant to avoid direct impacts to these natural wetlands, flowways, or sloughs or,
when not possible, to ensure any direct impact is minimized and compensated for by
providing the same conveyance capacity lost by the direct impact. The County shall
adhere to the limiting discharge rates of each basin as outlined in Ordinance 2001 -27,
adopted May 22, 2001 which amended the County Water Management Policy and
provided basin delineations where special peak discharge rates have been established.
The limiting discharge rates will be reviewed as a part of the Watershed Management
Plans, and modified according to the analyses and findings of the Watershed
Management Plans.
e. All new development and re- development projects shall ensure surrounding properties
will not be adversely impacted from the project's influence on stormwater sheet flow.
f. Prior to the issuance of a final development order, the County shall require all
development projects to obtain the necessary state and federal environmental permits.
8
Water Resource Protection
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
n g. Within one year of the effective date of these amendments, the County shall adopt land
development regulations to require Best Management Practices of future development or
re- development projects. Best Management Practices means structural and nonstructural
facilities or practices intended to reduce pollution either through source control or
treatment of stormwater.

The Plans will provide for various tasks such as monitoring land - disturbing activities in the
watersheds, collecting canal flow and water quality data, stormwater quality data, and assessing
habitat changes.
Policy 2.1.3:
The Plans will also evaluate structural and non - structural controls for restoring historical
hydroperiods in impacted watersheds where possible and for reducing the impacts of canal and
stormwater discharges to estuaries.
Policy 2.1.4:
All Watershed Management Plans shall address the following concepts:
a. Appropriate wetlands and uplands serving as a buffer to wetlands are conserved;
b. Drainage systems do not degrade wetland and estuary ecosystems;
c. Surface water that potentially could recharge ground water is not unduly drained away;
d. When feasible the extent and effects of salt -water intrusion are lessened;
e. The timing and flow of fresh water into the estuaries from the watershed shall, as a
minimum, not degrade estuarine resource value;
f. The needs of the watershed's natural resources and human populations are balanced;
g. The effects on natural flood plains, stream channels, native vegetative communities and
natural protective barriers which are involved in the accommodation of flood waters;
h. Non - structural rather than structural methods of surface water management should be
considered first in any proposed new works;
i. Wetland and estuarine habitat functions are conserved and/or enhanced; and
j. Wetland and estuarine ecosystems will be conserved and/or enhanced using a variety of
innovative tools, including landowner incentives, public acquisition, conservation easements,
and/or transferable development rights.
Policy 2.1.5:
Upon establishment of the various Watershed Management Plans for Collier County, all
environmental data collection, environmental management and environmental planning
a. activities conducted by Collier County shall be conducted using a basin -by -basin
approach.
Policy 2.1.6:
Until the completion and adoption of individual watershed management plans, promote water
management permitting on a basin by basin approach.

or jurisdictional wetlands unless they meet Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(FDEP) regulations and are not in violation of other Goals, Objectives and Policies of this
Element.
Policy 2.2.2:
In order to limit the specific and cumulative impacts of stormwater run -off, stormwater systems
should be designed in such a way that discharged water does not degrade receiving waters and
an attempt is made to enhance the timing, quantity and quality of fresh water to the estuarine
system. Non - structural methods such as discharge and storage in wetlands are encouraged.
Policy 2.2.3:
Chemical spraying for aquatic weed control should be conducted with extreme caution. The use
of appropriate biological and mechanical (use of harvesting equipment to remove vegetation)
controls in both the canal system and stormwater detention ponds is encouraged.
Manufacturers and EPA guidelines for chemical use in aquatic habitat will be followed.

d. Protect living marine resources,
e. Reduce exposure to natural hazards,
f. Ensure public access,
g. Provide a continuing monitoring program.
Policy 2.3.6:
The County will only allow development activities which will not adversely impact coastal water
resources. This is implemented through the following mechanisms:
a. Require all applicable Federal and State permits addressing water quality to be submitted
to Collier County before Collier County issues a Final Development Order.
b. Excluding single family homes, any project impacting 5 acres or more of wetlands must
provide a pre and post development water quality analysis to demonstrate no increase in
nutrient, biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, lead, zinc and copper
loading in the post development scenario.
c. By January 2008, the County shall undertake an assessment of the current model used to
evaluate pre and post development pollutant loadings referenced in (b) of this Policy. At
a minimum, the purpose of this assessment will be to verify the accuracy of the model
and to provide data evaluating stormwater management structure design. In reviewing the
accuracy of the model, the County will include an evaluation of the reduction of lake

The following standards and criteria shall apply to the vegetation retention requirements
referenced above.
/,�N
(1) For the purpose of this policy, "native vegetation" is defined as a vegetative community
having 25% or more canopy coverage or highest existing vegetative strata of native plant
species. The vegetation retention requirements specified in this policy are calculated based
on the amount of "native vegetation" that conforms to this definition. /'*N
(2)The preservation of native vegetation shall include canopy, under -story and ground cover
emphasizing the largest contiguous area possible, which may include connection to offsite
preserves. The purpose for identifying the largest contiguous area is to provide for a core area
that has the greatest potential for wildlife habitat by reducing the interface between the
preserve area and development which decreases the conflicts from other land uses. Criteria
for determining the dimensional standards of the preserve are to be set out in the Land
Development Code.
(3) Areas that fulfill the native vegetation retention standards and criteria of this policy shall
be set aside as preserve areas. On -site and off -site preserve areas shall be protected by a
permanent conservation mechanism to prohibit further development, consistent with the
requirements of this policy. The type of permanent conservation mechanism, including
conservation easements, required for a specific development may vary based on preserve
area size, type of development approval, and other factors, as set forth in the County's
land development regulations.
(4) Selection of native vegetation to be retained as preserve areas shall reflect the following
criteria in descending order of priority:
a. Wetland or upland areas known to be utilized by listed species or that serve as
corridors for the movement of wildlife shall be preserved and protected in order to
facilitate the continued use of the site by listed species or the movement through the
site, consistent with the requirements of Policy 7. 1.1 and 7.1.2 of this element.

project site.
The following standards and criteria shall apply to the vegetation retention requirements
referenced above.
/,�N
(1) For the purpose of this policy, "native vegetation" is defined as a vegetative community
having 25% or more canopy coverage or highest existing vegetative strata of native plant
species. The vegetation retention requirements specified in this policy are calculated based
on the amount of "native vegetation" that conforms to this definition. /'*N
(2)The preservation of native vegetation shall include canopy, under -story and ground cover
emphasizing the largest contiguous area possible, which may include connection to offsite
preserves. The purpose for identifying the largest contiguous area is to provide for a core area
that has the greatest potential for wildlife habitat by reducing the interface between the
preserve area and development which decreases the conflicts from other land uses. Criteria
for determining the dimensional standards of the preserve are to be set out in the Land
Development Code.
(3) Areas that fulfill the native vegetation retention standards and criteria of this policy shall
be set aside as preserve areas. On -site and off -site preserve areas shall be protected by a
permanent conservation mechanism to prohibit further development, consistent with the
requirements of this policy. The type of permanent conservation mechanism, including
conservation easements, required for a specific development may vary based on preserve
area size, type of development approval, and other factors, as set forth in the County's
land development regulations.
(4) Selection of native vegetation to be retained as preserve areas shall reflect the following
criteria in descending order of priority:
a. Wetland or upland areas known to be utilized by listed species or that serve as
corridors for the movement of wildlife shall be preserved and protected in order to
facilitate the continued use of the site by listed species or the movement through the
site, consistent with the requirements of Policy 7. 1.1 and 7.1.2 of this element.
b. Xeric Scrub, Dune and Strand, Hardwood Hammocks.

Objective 6.2:
The County shall protect and conserve wetlands and the natural functions of wetlands pursuant to
the appropriate policies under Goal 6. The following policies provide criteria to make this
objective measurable. The County's wetland protection policies and strategies shall be
coordinated with the Watershed Management Plans as required by Objective 2.1 of this Element.
Policy 6.2.1
As required by Florida Administrative Code 9J5- 5.006(1)(b), wetlands identified by the 1994 -95
SFWMD land use and land cover inventory are mapped on the Future Land Use Map series.
These areas shall be verified by a jurisdictional field delineation, subject to Policy 6.2.2 of this
element, at the time of project permitting to determine the exact location of jurisdictional
wetland boundaries.
Policy 6.2.2
Wetlands shall be defined pursuant to Section 373.019 Florida Statutes. The location of
jurisdictional wetland boundaries are further described by the delineation methodology in
Section 373.421 Florida Statutes.
Policy 6.2.3:
Collier County shall implement a comprehensive process to ensure wetlands and the natural
functions of wetlands are protected and conserved. This wetland preservation and conservation
process shall be coordinated with the Watershed Management Plan process, as referenced in
Objective 2.1 of this Element. However, the process outlined within this policy is primarily
based on directing concentrated population growth and intensive development away from large
interconnected wetland systems. These wetland systems have been identified based on their
type, values, functions, sizes, conditions and locations within Collier County. These systems
predominantly occur east of the County's Urban boundary, as delineated on the Countywide
Future Land Use Map (FLUM), within the Future Land Use Element (FLUE). Many of these
wetlands fall within public lands or land targeted for acquisition. High quality wetlands systems
located on private property are primarily protected through native vegetation preservation
requirements, or through existing PUD commitments, conservation easements, or Stewardship
Sending Area Designations, or via the NRPA or Sending designations within the Rural Fringe
Mixed Use District or land/easement acquisition, or innovative landowner incentives. Protection
measures for wetlands and wetland systems located within the northeastern portion of Collier
County, excluding the community of Immokalee, are contained in the Rural Lands Stewardship
Area Overlay (RLSA Overlay) of the FLUE (and as depicted on the FLUM). Protection
measures for wetlands and wetland systems located within the Urban and Estates designated
areas of the County shall be based upon the jurisdictional determinations made by the applicable
state or federal agency. Where permits issued by such state or federal agencies allow for impacts
to wetlands within Urban and Estates designated areas and require mitigation for such impacts,
the permitting agency's mitigation requirements shall be deemed to preserve and protect
wetlands and their functions, except for wetlands that are part of a Watershed Management Plan
preserve area. The County shall direct impacts away from such wetlands.
17
Water Resource Protection
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
The large connected wetland systems that exist at the landscape scale in Collier County shall be
protected through various Land Use Designations and Overlays that restrict higher intensity land
uses and require specific land development standards for the remaining allowable land uses.
Collier County shall direct incompatible land uses away from these large landscape scale
wetland systems through implementation of the following protection and conservation
mechanisms:
(1) Conservation Designation
Best available data indicates that 76% of all wetlands found in Collier County are contained
within the boundaries of the Conservation Designation as depicted on the Countywide Future
Land Use Map. The overall purpose of the Conservation Designation is to conserve and
maintain the natural resources of Collier County and their associated environmental,
recreational, and economic benefits. The allowed land uses specified in the FLUE's
Conservation Designation (Reference FLUE Land Use Designation Section IV.) will
accommodate limited residential development and future non - residential development.
These limitations support Collier County's comprehensive process to direct concentrated
population growth and intensive land development away from large connected wetland
systems.
(2) Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern Overlay (ACSC)
Best available data indicates that 74% of the County's wetlands are within the Big Cypress
Area of Critical State Concern Overlay. The land development regulations contained in the
ACSC Overlay District, as depicted on the Countywide Future Land Use Map, provide
standards that facilitate the goal of directing higher intensity land uses away from wetland
systems. The development standards for the ACSC Overlay (Reference FLUE Land Use ,^
Designation Section V.) specify that site alterations shall be limited to 10% of the total site.
The majority of the land contained within the ACSC is also within the Conservation
Designation and thus is subject to the land use limitations of that Land Use Designation.
(3) Natural Resource Protection Areas (NRPAs)
Major wetland systems and regional flow -ways were used as criteria to establish the NRPA
Overlay District as shown on the Future Land Use Map, and as discussed in FLUE Land Use
Designation, Section V.C. These areas include high functioning wetland systems and,
although portions of the NRPA Overlay include lands within the Conservation Designation,
represent approximately 12% of the County's wetlands, which are not located in
Conservation Lands. Based on the relatively high concentration of wetlands within NRPA
designated lands, incompatible land uses shall be directed away from these areas. Allowable
land uses within NRPAs are also subject to native vegetation retention and preservation
standards of 90 %.
(4) Rural Fringe Mixed Use District Sending Lands
Best available data indicates that 16,000+ acres of wetlands are contained within designated
Sending Lands and that such wetlands constitute approximately 70% of land cover in these
areas. Incompatible land uses are directed away from the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District
Sending Lands through an incentive -based Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Program
that allows land owners within these Sending Lands to transfer their residential density out of
the Sending Lands to Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (and limited Urban) Receiving Lands.
A complete description of the TDR Program is contained in the FLUE, Future Land Use
Designation Description Section, Agricultural /Rural Designation, Rural Fringe Mixed Use �1
District. Incompatible land uses are also directed away from Sending Lands through
18
Water Resource Protection
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
restrictions on allowable uses. Finally, allowable uses within these lands are also subject to
native vegetation retention and preservation standards of 80% to 90 %, as required by Policy
6.7.1 of this Element.
(5) Flowway Stewardship Areas [re- numbered to reflect merger of Ordinance No. 2002 -32
and 2002 -541
Flowway Stewardship Areas have been designated within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area
Overlay (RLSA), as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, and are shown on the Rural
Lands Study Area Natural Resource Index Map Series. Flowway Stewardship Areas (FSAs)
are for the most part privately owned wetlands that are located within the Camp Keais Strand
and Okaloacoochee Slough. These lands form the principal wetland flowway systems in the
RLSA. The Overlay provides an incentive to permanently protect FSAs through the creation
and transfer of Stewardship Credits. It also contains provisions that eliminate incompatible
uses from the FSAs and, which establish protection measures.
(6) Watershed Management Plans
Collier County will establish watershed management plans throughout the County, but with
particular emphasis on the Urban and Estates designated areas. These watershed
management plans shall be established in accordance with Objective 2.1 of this Element and
will include the preservation or, where feasible, creation of landscape -scale wetland
conservation areas to act as habitat, natural water quality treatment and water quantity
retention/detention areas. The County shall direct incompatible land uses away from such
large -scale wetlands.
�. Collier County shall allow for more intensive development to occur in Rural Fringe
Receiving Lands, North Golden Gate Estates, the Rural - Settlement Area District, and the
Urban Designated Areas subject to the land uses identified in the Future Land Use Element,
the Immokalee Area Master Plan, and the Golden Gate Area Master Plan. These areas
account for only 6% of Collier County's wetlands. Except for tidal wetlands within the
coastal portion of the Urban Designated Area and wetlands that are part of an established
watershed management plan, the County finds that the wetland systems in these areas are
more fragmented and altered than those systems located within the Conservation Lands,
ACSC and NRPA Overlays, and Rural Fringe Sending Lands.
On a project- specific basis, wetlands and wetland functions shall be protected through the
following mechanisms:
(1) Federal and State jurisdictional agency review and wetland permitting;
(2) Vegetation preservation policies supporting CCME Objective 6.1;
(3) Wetland protection policies supporting CCME Objective 6.2;
(4) Clustering provisions specified in the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District of the FLUE
(5) The protection of wetlands that are part of an established watershed management plan, as
per Objective 2.1 of this Element.
(6) Land or easement acquisition.
(7) Land owner incentives, such as transferable development rights, tax relief, or USDA grants
for restoration.
19
Water Resource Protection
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Policy 6.2.4:
Within the Urban Designated area, the County shall rely on the wetland jurisdictional
determinations and permit requirements issued by the applicable jurisdictional agency, except for
wetlands that are part of a Watershed Management Plan preserve area. The County shall direct
impacts away from such wetlands.
This policy shall be implemented as follows:
(1) Where permits issued by such jurisdictional agencies allow for impacts to wetlands
within this designated area and require mitigation for such impacts, this shall be deemed
to meet the objective of protection and conservation of wetlands and the natural functions
of wetlands within this area, except for wetlands that are part of a Watershed
Management Plan preserve area. The County shall direct impacts away from such
wetlands.
(2) The County shall require the appropriate jurisdictional permit prior to the issuance of a
final local development order permitting site improvements, except in the case of single -
family residences, which are not part of an approved development or are not platted,
unless the residences are within a watershed management conservation area identified in
a Watershed Management Plan developed pursuant to policies supporting Objective 2.1
of this Element, in which case the appropriate jurisdictional permit is required prior to the
issuance of a final local development order permitting site improvements.
(3) Collier County will work with the jurisdictional agencies and applicants to encourage
mitigation to occur within targeted areas of the County including, but not limited to:
Natural Resource Protection Areas (NRPAs); lands targeted for a acquisition by a public
or private conservation entity, wetlands that are part of an approved watershed
management plan, as per Objective 2.1 of this Element; and other areas appropriate for
mitigation, such as flow ways and areas containing habitat for animal listed species.
(4) Within the Immokalee Urban Designated Area, there may exist high quality wetland
systems connected to the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand system. These wetlands
require greater protection measures than wetlands located in other portions of the Urban
Designated Area, and therefore the wetland protection standards set forth in Policy 6.2.5
shall apply in this area. This area is generally identified as the area designated as
Wetlands Connected To Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System on the Immokalee
Future Land Use Map and is located in the southwest Immokalee Urban designated area,
connected to the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais System. Within one (1) year of the effective
date of these amendments, the County shall adopt land development regulations to
determine the process and specific circumstances when the provisions of Policy 6.2.5 will
apply.
Policy 6.2.5:
Within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, and that portion of the Lake Trafford/Camp
Keais Strand System which is contained within the Immokalee Urban Designated Area, Collier
County shall direct land uses away from higher functioning wetlands by limiting direct impacts
within wetlands based upon the vegetation requirements of Policy 6.1.2 of this element, the
wetland functionality assessment described in paragraph (2) below, and the final permitting
requirements of the South Florida Water Management District. A direct impact is hereby defined
as the dredging or filling of a wetland or adversely changing the hydroperiod of a wetland. This
policy shall be implemented as follows:
20
Water Resource Protection
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
(1) The County shall apply the vegetation retention requirements of Policy 6.1.2 of this
element to preserve an appropriate amount of native vegetation on site. Wetlands shall be
preserved as part of this vegetation requirement according to the following criteria:
a. The acreage requirements of Policy 6.1.2 of this element shall be met be preserving
wetlands with the highest wetland functionality scores. Wetland functionality
assessment scores shall be those described in paragraph (2) of this policy. Wetlands
having a WRAP score of at least 0.65 or a Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment
Method score of 0.7 shall be preserved on site. This policy is not intended in all cases
to require preservation of wetlands exceeding the acreage required by Policy 6.1.2 of
this element. Within one year, the County shall develop specific criteria to be used to
determine when wetlands having a WRAP score greater than 0.65 or a
Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method score of greater than 0.7
shall be required to be retained exceeding the acreage required by Policy
6.1.2 of this element.
(2) In order to assess the values and functions of wetlands at the time of project review,
applicants shall rate functionality of wetlands using the South Florida Water
Management District's Wetland Rapid Assessment Procedure (WRAP), as described in
Technical Publication Reg -001, dated September 1997, and updated August 1999, or the
Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method, F.A.C. Chapter 62 -345. The applicant
shall submit to County staff, agency accepted WRAP scores or Uniform Wetland
Mitigation Assessment Method scores. County staff shall review this functionality
assessment as part of the County's EIS provisions and shall use the results to direct
incompatible land uses away from the highest functioning wetlands according to the
requirements found in paragraph (1) above.
(3) All direct impacts shall be mitigated for pursuant to the requirements of paragraph (6) of
this policy.
(4) Single family residences shall follow the requirements contained within Policy 6.2.7 of
this element.
(5) The County shall separate preserved wetlands from other land uses with appropriate
buffering requirements. The County shall require a minimum 50 -foot vegetated upland
buffer adjacent to a natural water body, and for other wetlands a minimum 25 -foot vegetated
upland buffer adjacent to the wetland. A structural buffer may be used in conjunction with a
vegetative buffer that would reduce the vegetative buffer width by 50 %. A structural buffer
shall be required adjacent to wetlands where direct impacts are allowed. Wetland buffers
shall conform to the following standards:
a. The buffer shall be measured landward from the approved jurisdictional line.
b. The buffer zone shall consist of preserved native vegetation. Where native vegetation
does not exist, native vegetation compatible with the existing soils and expected
hydrologic conditions shall be planted.
c. The buffer shall be maintained free of Category I invasive exotic plants, as defined by
the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council.
d. The following land uses are considered to be compatible with wetland functions and
are allowed within the buffer:
1. Passive recreational areas, boardwalks and recreational shelters;
21
Water Resource Protection
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
1. Pervious nature trails;
3. Water management structures;
4. Mitigation areas;
5. Any other conservation and related open space activity or use which is
comparable in nature with the foregoing uses.
e. A structural buffer may consist of a stem -wall, berm, or vegetative hedge with suitable
fencing.
(6) Mitigation shall be required for direct impacts to wetlands in order to result in no net loss
of wetland functions.
a. Mitigation Requirements:
1. "No net loss of wetland functions'._'.. shall mean that the wetland functional score of
the proposed mitigation equals or exceeds the wetland functional score of the
impacted wetlands. However, in no case shall the acreage proposed for mitigation
be less than the acreage being impacted.
2. Loss of storage or conveyance volume resulting from direct impacts to wetlands
shall be compensated for by providing an equal amount of storage or conveyance
capacity on site and within or adjacent to the impacted wetland.
3. Protection shall be provided for preserved or created wetland or upland vegetative
communities offered as mitigation by placing a conservation easement over the
land in perpetuity, providing for initial exotic plant removal (Class I invasive
exotic plants defined by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council) and continuing
exotic plant maintenance.
4. Prior to issuance of any final development order that authorizes site alteration, the
applicant shall demonstrate compliance with paragraphs (6)a.1, (6)a.2, and (6)a.3
of this policy. If agency permits have not provided mitigation consistent with this
policy, Collier County will require mitigation exceeding that of the jurisdictional
agencies.
5. Mitigation requirements for single - family lots shall be determined by the State
and Federal agencies during their permitting process, pursuant to the requirements
of Policy 6.2.7 of this element.
b. Mitigation Incentives:
1. Collier County shall encourage certain types of mitigation by providing a variety
of incentives in the form of density bonuses and credits to open space and
vegetation retention requirements. Density bonuses shall be limited to no more
than 10% of the allowed density.
2. Preferred mitigation activities that would qualify for these incentives include, but
are not limited, to the following:
(a) Adding wetland habitat to or restoring wetland functions within Rural Fringe
Mixed Use District Sending Lands,
(b) Creating, enhancing or restoring wading bird habitat to be located near wood
stork, and/or other wading bird colonies.
3. Within one (1) year of the effective date of these amendments, Collier County
22
Water Resource Protection
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
shall adopt specific criteria in the LDC to implement this incentive program, and
to identify other mitigation priorities.
Policy 6.2.6: [re- numbered to reflect merger of Ordinance No. 2002 -32 and 2002 -541
Within the Urban Designation and the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, required wetland
preservation areas, buffer areas, and mitigation areas shall be dedicated as conservation and
common areas in the form of conservation easements and shall be identified or platted as
separate tracts; and, in the case of a Planned Unit Development (PUD), these areas shall also
be depicted on the PUD Master Plan. These areas shall be maintained free from trash and
debris and from Category I invasive exotic plants, as defined by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant
Council. Land uses allowed in these areas shall be limited to those listed in Policy 6.2.5(5)d of
this element and shall not include any other activities that are detrimental to drainage, flood
control, water conservation, erosion control or fish and wildlife habitat conservation and
preservation.
Policy 6.2.7:
Within the Estates Designated Area and the Rural Settlement Area, the County shall rely on
the wetland jurisdictional determinations and permit requirements issued by the applicable
jurisdictional agency, except for wetlands that are part of a Watershed Management Plan
preserve area. The County shall direct impacts away from such wetlands. This policy shall be
implemented as follows:
(1) For single - family residences within Southern Golden Gate Estates or within the Big
Cypress Area of Critical State Concern, the County shall require the appropriate federal
and state wetland- related permits before Collier County issues a building permit.
(2) Outside of Southern Golden Gate Estates and the Big Cypress Area of Critical State
Concern, Collier County shall inform applicants for individual single - family building
permits that federal and state wetland permits may be required prior to construction
unless the proposed residence is within a watershed management conservation area
identified in a Watershed Management Plan developed pursuant to policies supporting
Objective 2.1 of this Element, in which case the appropriate jurisdictional permit is
required prior to the issuance of a building permit. The County shall also notify the
applicable federal and state agencies of single - family building permits applications in
these areas.
(3) Within North Golden Gate Estates and the Rural Settlement Area, Collier County shall
incorporate certain preserved and/or created wetlands and associated uplands into the
County's approved watershed management plans, as per Objective 2.1 of this Element.
The size and location of wetlands incorporated into the watershed management plans will
be based upon the approved requirements for such plans. The County may issue single -
family building permits within or adjacent to such wetlands, subject to appropriate
mitigation requirements, which preserve the functionality of the wetland within the
applicable watershed management plan. For a proposed residence which is to be located
n within a watershed management conservation area identified in a Watershed Management
Plan developed pursuant to policies supporting Objective 2.1 of this Element, the
appropriate jurisdictional permit is required prior to the issuance of a building permit.
23
Water Resource Protection
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
(4) Collier County shall continue to work with federal and state agencies to identify
properties that have a high probability of wetlands and animal listed species occurrence.
The identification process will be based on hydric soils data and other applicable criteria.
Once this identification process is complete, the County will determine if the process is
sufficiently accurate to require federal and state wetland approvals prior to the issuance
of a building permit within these areas. The County shall use information on wetland
and/or listed species occurrence to inform property owners of the potential existence of
wetlands and/or listed species on their property.
(5) Within one year after Watershed Management Plans are accepted by the Board of County
Commissioners, Collier County shall develop and implement additional means to protect
wetland systems identified in each Plan for preservation or restoration. Means to
consider include innovative landowner incentives, transferable development rights, tax
relief, land or easement acquisition, state and federal grants, and enhanced regulations.
Policy 6.2.8
For the County's Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) Overlay, as designated on the FLUM,
wetlands shall be preserved pursuant to the RLSA Overlay policies found in the Future Land Use
Element.
Policy 6.2.9 [re- numbered to reflect merger of Ordinance No. 2002 -32 and 2002 -54]
The County shall provide for adequate staff to implement the policies supporting Objective 6.2.
GOAL 13: THE COUNTY SHALL AVOID UNNECESSARY DUPLICATION OF
EXISTING REGULATORY PROGRAMS.
OBJECTIVE 13.1:
To establish, prior to the adoption of any land development regulation to implement this
Element, including but not limited to NRPA management guidelines and watershed management
plans, a program to review such regulations and identify existing regulatory programs exercised
by regional, State, or Federal agencies with jurisdiction over the activities sought to be regulated.
Policy 13.1.1:
There will be no unnecessary duplication of existing Regional, State, or Federal permitting
programs.
Policy 13.1.2:
The County may adopt regulations to strengthen existing permitting programs.
Policy 13.1.3:
Prior to adopting any new regulations to implement this Element, the following guidelines shall
be met:
a. The regulation fulfills an important need that is not adequately addressed by existing
Regional, State, or Federal regulations. r�
b. The regulation can be effectively and efficiently administered by existing County staff or
by an authorized expansion of County staff.
24

c. The cost to the County of implementing the regulation has been identified and
considered.
Other Pertinent Section GOPs
Some of the following GOPs do not directly address Watershed Management Plan goals
specifically however, they address relevant issues that must be considered and supported by the
plans.
PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT
DRAINAGE SUB - ELEMENT
I. INTRODUCTION
This portion of the Collier County Growth Management Plan inventories both the natural
conditions and stormwater management activities within unincorporated Collier County.
In Collier County, there are two (2) primary service providers with regard to the provision
of stormwater management services. The County's Transportation Services Division
maintains drainage systems associated with County and State Roadways as well as the
Secondary Drainage System. The Big Cypress Basin Board, an arm of the South Florida
Water Management District (SFWMD), maintains the larger, regional surface water
management systems within Collier County. The regional drainage system is also referred
to as the Primary Drainage System.
However, management of stormwater is concerned not only with flood prevention (a
quantity issue), but also with the removal of various pollutants picked up by the
stormwater as it flows across the County's developed land areas (a quality issue). Such
pollutants can include oils, greases, heavy metals, pesticides, fertilizers and other
substances, which can have a deleterious impact on the County's natural systems and,
above all, its groundwater quality. Note that, in this respect, there is overlap in the
intended purpose between the Drainage and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub -
elements: both seek to protect aquifer recharge areas. However, the emphasis of the
Drainage Sub - element is on surface water protection, whereas the emphasis of the Natural
Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub - element is on groundwater protection.
The term "stormwater management" refers to a set of comprehensive strategies for dealing
with both stormwater quantity and stormwater quality issues. The primary component of
these strategies is the need to ensure that the volume, rate, timing and pollutant load of
stormwater runoff after development is similar to that which occurred prior to
development. To accomplish this task, stormwater management entities employ a
combination of structural and non - structural techniques. Non - structural techniques
emphasize preservation or restoration of natural drainage features to promote infiltration,
filtering and slowing of runoff. Structural techniques include the variety of manmade
channels and control structures maintained within the primary and secondary drainage
systems. The objective of stormwater management is to develop a combination of
techniques which provide for adequate pollutant removal and flood protection in the most
economical manner.
25
Water Resource Protection
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
One of the key principles of current stormwater management techniques is recognition of
the need for basin -wide (or watershed basin) planning. The stormwater management
system has to be designed so as to ensure that the final outlet point has adequate capacity to
handle all discharges from the upstream portion of the watershed under conditions present
at the time of design. Subsequent development upstream must then utilize stormwater
management techniques and systems, which will maintain predevelopment run -off
conditions so that the capacity of the downstream portion of the watershed is not exceeded.
In this respect, there is an overlap between the intended purpose of the Drainage Sub -
element and Goal 2 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element, including the
Watershed Management Plans discussed under Objective 2.1 of the COME.
GOAL:
COLLIER COUNTY SHALL PROVIDE DRAINAGE AND FLOOD PROTECTION FOR
EXISTING AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, MINIMIZE THE DEGRADATION OF
QUALITY OF RECEIVING WATERS AND SURROUNDING NATURAL AREAS AND
PROTECT THE FUNCTIONS OF NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER
RECHARGE AREAS.
OBJECTIVE 1 (CAPITAL FACILITY PLANNING FOR DRAINAGE SYSTEMS):
The County shall utilize the Annual Update and Inventory Report on Public Facilities (AUIR)
process to update the Drainage Atlas Maps and Channel /Structure Inventory components of the
adopted Water Management Master Plan and to verify the existing watershed basin boundaries
within Collier County. The County will also verify the design storm capacity of the drainage
facilities within each basin, and determine the costs necessary to maintain the facility capacities
to selected design storm standards. This information shall be used to program operational funds
in the Annual County Budget and to identify necessary capital projects and basin studies in the
Annual Capital Improvement Element Update and Amendment.
Policy 1.1:
The County shall update and revise stormwater management maintenance procedures and capital
projects based on continual facilities performance monitoring activities. Consideration will be
given to natural systems as identified in Policy 2.1.4 of the Conservation and Coastal
Management Element, existing developments and proposed developments.
Policy 1.2:
County drainage system capital facility planning shall be designed to implement procedures and
projects in a manner to ensure that adequate stormwater management facility capacity is
available at the time a development permit is issued, or that such capacity will be available when
needed to serve the development.
Policy 1.3:
The County shall continue to develop public drainage facilities, which maintain the groundwater
table as a source of recharge for the County's potable water aquifers, provide a source of
26
Water Resource Protection
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
n
irrigation water for agricultural, horticultural and golf course operations and provide water to
native vegetation.
Policy 1.4:
The County shall continue to evaluate structural and non - structural measures for restoring
historical hydroperiods in impacted watersheds where possible and for reducing the
impacts of canal and stormwater discharges to estuaries. Selected measures will be
implemented through the watershed management planning process identified within Goal
2 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Growth Management Plan.
Policy 1.5:
Watershed Management Plans will be undertaken as set forth in Objective 2.1 of the
Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME). After each plan is completed, the
results will be made available to the property owners located within the basin's boundaries for
their use in petitioning the Board of County Commissioners to create a taxing/assessment unit to
fund the proposed implementation of the plan's recommendations. Until the Watershed
Management Plans are completed, the County shall apply the interim standards for development
as contained in CCME Objective 2.1.
OBJECTIVE 2:
The County shall maintain adopted drainage level of service standards for basins and sub -
basins identified in the Water Management Master Plan. Maintenance of the drainage
level of service (LOS) identified for each basin will be implemented through the watershed
management planning process identified within Goal 2 of the Conservation and Coastal
Management Element of this Growth Management Plan.
Policy 2.1:
The following levels of service for drainage are hereby adopted for the purpose of issuing
development permits. Upon completion of each associated Watershed Management Plan, the
level of service will be modified, if warranted.
A. Future "private" developments - water quantity and quality standards as specified in
Collier County Ordinance Numbers 74 -50, 90 -10 and 2001 -27, and Land Development
Code Ordinance Number 2004 -41, as amended.
B. Existing "private" developments and existing or future public drainage facilities - those
existing Levels of Service identified (by design storm return frequency event) by the completed
Water Management Master Plan as follows:

n OBJECTIVE 5:
The County shall continue to regulate land use and development in a manner that protects the
functions of natural drainage features and natural groundwater aquifer recharge areas.
Implementation of this Objective will be consistent with the Watershed Management Planning
process identified within Goal 2 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the
Growth Management Plan, and with relevant provisions contained within the adopted Land
Development Code (Ordinance Number 2004 -41, as amended).
Policy 5.1:

RURAL FRINGE MIXED USE DISTRICT
r-1\
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (RFMUD) is the Future Land Use Element Sub - District which
was adopted in 2002 through Ordinance 02 -32, as a result of Final Order — ACC -99 -002.
�%YYI�_ C • ySeT3111
ACC -99 -002 was issued by the State due to the County's GMP being found to lack regulatory
protection for environmentally sensitive property, not adequately discouraging urban sprawl and
preventing the premature conversion of agricultural land. The Final Order required the following
modifications to the GMP to address the issues within three specified areas:
1. Identify and propose measures to protect prime agricultural areas.
2. Direct incompatible uses away from wetlands and upland habitat in order to protect water
quality and quantity and maintain the natural water regime as well as to protect listed animal
species and their habitats.
3. Assess the growth potential of the Area by assessing the potential conversion of rural lands to
other uses, in appropriate locations, while discouraging urban sprawl, directing incompatible
land uses away from critical habitat and encouraging development that utilizes creative land
use planning techniques including, but not limited to, public and private schools, urban
villages, new towns, satellite communities, area -based allocations, clustering and open space
provisions and mixed use development.
The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District was designed to address the above specified areas of concern.
The District, as identified on Future Land Use Map, consists of approximately 93,600 acres.
Significant portions of the District are adjacent to the urbanized area as well as the semi -rural, rapidly
developing; large -lot North Golden Gate Estates platted lands. Agricultural land uses within the Rural
Fringe Mixed Use District do not represent a significant portion of the County's active agricultural
lands.
The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District provides a transition between the Urban and Estates Designated
lands and between the Urban and Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) and Conservation designated
lands farther to the east. As of June 2002, the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District consisted of more than
5,550 tax parcels, and included at least 3,835 separate and distinct property owners. Alternative land
use strategies were developed for the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, in part, to consider these
existing ownership patterns. The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District employs a balanced approach,
including both regulations and incentives, to protect natural resources and private property rights,
providing for large areas of open space, and allowing, in designated areas, appropriate types, density
and intensity of development. The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District allows for a mixture of urban and
rural levels of service, including limited extension of central water and sewer, schools, recreational
facilities, commercial uses and essential services deemed necessary to serve the residents of the
District.
The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District is separated into three specific areas, Sending Lands, Neutral
n Lands, and Receiving Lands. Sending Lands are those lands that have the highest degree of
environmental value and sensitivity and generally include significant wetlands, uplands, and habitat for
listed species. The permitted uses within the Sending Lands are limited to a narrow list of permitted
and conditional uses and the regulations allow residential density at a maximum density of one
dwelling unit per 40 acres or one dwelling unit per lot or parcel of less than 40 acres, which existed on
1
RTTRAT, FRnVCTF. WYF.T) TNF, T)RTRT('T (RFWT)r))
or before June 22, 1999 (lots <5 acres which existed as of October 15, 1974 or January 5, 1982,
depending upon location).
Neutral Lands have been identified for limited semi -rural residential development. Available data
indicates that Neutral Lands have a higher ratio of native vegetation, and thus higher habitat values,
than lands designated as Receiving Lands, but these values do not approach those of Sending Lands.
Therefore, these lands are appropriate for limited development, if such development is directed away
from existing native vegetation and habitat. A lower maximum gross density is prescribed for Neutral
Lands when compared to Receiving Lands. Additionally, certain other uses permitted within
Receiving Lands are not authorized in Neutral Lands and the area allows a maximum density of 1
dwelling unit per 5 gross acres (0.2 units per acre). The density allotted to the area prior to the
adoption of the
Receiving Lands are those lands within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District that have been identified
as being most appropriate for development and to which residential development units may be
transferred from areas designated as Sending Lands. Based on the evaluation of available data, these
lands have a lesser degree of environmental or listed species habitat value than areas designated as
Sending and generally have been disturbed through development, or previous or existing agricultural
operations. Various incentives are employed to direct development into Receiving Lands and away
from Sending Lands, thereby maximizing native vegetation and habitat preservation and restoration.
Such incentives include, but are not limited to: the TDR process; clustered development; density bonus
incentives; and, provisions for central sewer and water. Within the Receiving Lands the base
residential density allowable is one (1) unit per five (5) gross acres (0.2 dwelling units per acre). The
maximum density achievable in Receiving Lands through the TDR process is one (1) dwelling unit per
acre, with a minimum project size of 40 contiguous acres. This maximum density is exclusive of the
Density Blending provisions.
The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, as noted, has been regulatory constructed to steer development
away from environmentally valuable land and to the areas designated Receiving Lands. The areas
designated Receiving will be the areas which will require the greatest outlay for infrastructure
improvements. Within each of the four Receiving areas, the FLUE allows the development of a single
Rural Village, which by regulation must be located where public infrastructure exists or is planned,
and shall have direct access to a roadway classified by Collier County as an arterial or collector
roadway, or access to the Village may be via new collector roadway directly accessing an existing
arterial, the cost of which shall be borne entirely by the developer. Additionally, a Rural Village may
only be approved after demonstration that the Village will be fiscally neutral or positive to county
taxpayers outside of the Village. These provisions of the regulations attempt to ensure that the highest
intensity development allowed by the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District will have in place or identified
the means for funding the capital improvements necessary in maintaining the Level of Service (LOS)
required by the GMP. The 2005 Residential Build -Out Study anticipated a total of 57,644 people or
19,433 dwelling units for the RFMUD. The Collier Interactive Growth Model (CIGM) projects a total
of 34,837 people or 11,769 dwelling units. The population or either projection will require extensive
infrastructure to satisfy the demands of the anticipated population. The regulatory component of within
the FLUE provides for a means in which the most intense development allowed within this District,
Rural Villages, are required to provide the funding for the capital improvements necessary to maintain
the County required adopted level of service for public facilities and services.
Comprehensive Plan Implementation &Program Assessment
As noted the RMUD was established based on the principal of preserving environmentally sensitive
lands, discouraging urban sprawl, promoting mixed use, protecting listed species and their habitats,

while respecting the property rights inherent to the property owners within the sub - district. The
assessment on the following page provides for analysis to better determine if the goals and objectives
of the RFMUD are being met.

POTENTIAL CREDITS TOTAL 13,80100
All of the above have been rounded to the next highest figure
There are a total of 20,617 acres which are designated sending that have been designate eligible to
sever their development right. It should be noted that this acreage does not include all designated
sending lands due to those lands being in public ownership and not eligible for the TDR program. Of
the 20,617 acres, 17.5 percent or 3,615 acres have had or are in the process of having their TDR's
separated through voluntary participation in the program. Based upon the above estimates there are
potentially 15,819 TDR's, of which 12.7 percent or 2,019 TDR's have been generated through
participation in the program. Of the 2,019 TDR's which have been generated to date, 300 TDR's or
14.8 percent of the TDR's generated have been redeemed. The TDR program became effective, due to
legal challenges in 2003, so the program has been in existence for less than seven years, with
3
RURAL FRINGE MIXED USE DISTRICT ( RFMUD)
participation in the three mentioned areas all within the 12 to 18 percent participation range. Based
upon the information available regarding existing TDR programs, the Collier TDR program can be
viewed as active and achieving the stated purpose. In a November 30, 2004 memorandum from Dr.
James Nicholas to Marti Chumbler regarding the proposed additional TDR credits being proposed at
the time. Dr. Nicholas references two of the more successful programs in the county, Montgomery
County Maryland and New Jersey Pinelands. Both programs are approaching 25 years and for the
Montgomery County program 60 percent of possible TDR's have been severed and for Pinelands, just
fewer than 50 percent of lands have participated. If the Collier program was extrapolated on a straight
line based upon the fact that 12.7 percent of the total potential TDR's have been created, extending out
25 years or 3.5 times the current length of the Collier program, the participation rate would be 7,210
TDR's generated or 45 percent of the total 15,819 potential TDR's. This participation rate would place
Collier's program along side of the Pinewoods program, but behind the Montgomery County program,
but a successful program based upon the matrix established.
The following assessment attempts to evaluate the RFMUD regarding the number of TDR's and the
acreage designated Receiving.
Four Receiving Areas TDR expenditure characteristics
Non Village
Maximum density 1 unit per acre when utilizing TDR's
Minimum 40 acres need 32 TDR's to enable.

Total 7,000 acres @ 3 DU per acre — Maximum 21,000 DU
1,400 DU associated with Base Density
7,000 TDRS to enable 14,000 DUs based on Rural Village Bonus Credit Provision
Sub -total 7,000 TDRs used to enable 15,400 DU's
5,600 Additional TDRs need to enable maximum density
Estimated that a total of 12,600 TDRs needed to enable maximum density and size for allowed Rural Villages*
*number of TDRs needed will be decreased slightly by density associated (1 DU per 5 acres) with required
greenbelt encompassing village.
Total receiving Land - 22,020 acres Potential TDRs - 15,809
Less developed land —5,201 TDRs for Max Village - 12,600
Less acres of potential Village —7,000
Remaining Acres —9,819 Remaining Potential TDRs -3,209
Remaining 3,209 TDRs could enable 4,011 acres of additional receiving land @ 1 DU per acre.
4
RUR,4 L FRINGE MIXED USE DISTRICT ( RFMUD)
Total - 5,808 acres of receiving land could not participate in the program due to full expenditure of potential
TDR credits.
From the above analysis, it can be determined that there are an adequate number of TDR's potentially
in the system to enable the 74% of the eligible receive lands. It should be noted that the program was
not designed for 100% participation. Additionally, 5,201 acres of receiving land is currently
developed with residential, commercial, industrial and institutional uses (see map on the following
page). With these two additional data sets considered within the evaluation it can be concluded that
there is a sufficient number of TDR's and potential TDR's within the program.

The TDR Program Activity map, particularly for the South Belle Meade area, shows how the program
is furthering the state and local effort to protect the designated sending lands, which in the case of the
n South Belle Meade area forms a natural extension of the Picayune Strand State Forest. The Public
owned land is shown in green. The conclusion from the RFMUD analysis is that the program has been
effective in accomplishing the specified goals of the sub - district, as well as the Final Order, which
promoted the creation of the RFMUD. This assessment does not align with the public comments

with the use of TDRs and not limit density above one unit per acre to only Rural Villages. Non -
villages should be able to go up to 2 units per acre. Like the RLSA, rural villages should be able
to go to 4 units per acre. Programmatic
• Remove /modem the very detailed and unworkable requirements for development of a Rural
Village. Increase the TDR Bonus multiplier in a Rural Village to make it economically viable. At
the present time, the TDR program is too expensive for a higher dense village. As density
increases, average prices comedown. Programmatic
• Remove the minimum required purchase amount of $25,000 for a Base TDR and instead let the
market work to determine TDR prices. Programmatic
• Protect existing TDR holders but drastically revamp the current program such that it is less costly
to develop in receiving areas. Programmatic
• Encourage the establishment of mitigation banks in the Rural Fringe for listed species.
Programmatic
• Another option to consider is to establish separate overlays for each of the four distinct Rural
Fringe development areas, similar to the North Belle Meade Overlay which has its own set of
development standards. Programmatic
• The current Rural Fringe provisions of the GMP already call for the County to consider the
feasibility of establishing a "TDR Bank" to be administered by the County or some other non-for-
profit government, or quasi governmental agency with the objective of making funds available to
support the TDR program by offering initial minimal purchase prices of TDR credits. The County
should create a TDR bank Programmatic
• Consider allowing owners of large tracts in the Rural Fringe the option of utilizing the standards
and procedures of the RLSA program. Programmatic
• Allow for the ability to transfer a certain percentage of density credits from the RLSA to the Rural
Fringe. Programmatic
■ There is a need to have different more favorable treatment for owners of Sending Land parcels of
twenty (20) acres or less to facilitate their participation. Programmatic

R URAL FRINGE MIXED USE DISTRICT (RFMUD)
The majority of the comments are not housed or applicable to the RFMUD as provided for within the
Future Land Use Element, but rather could be classified as observational, programmatic or provided
for within the Land Development Code. There is an undercurrent or commonality to the comments
related to demand, perceived lack of demand and the need to further incentives the program to increase
demand.
From all factors evaluated, staff can conclude that the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District has been
effective in protecting the environmentally sensitive properties within the designated sending areas and
to a limited degree allowed for market utilization of available TDR's, but based upon the public
comments, there appears to be dissatisfaction with the market response to the program. The reasons
behind this perception can be explained by a number of micro and macro conditions, but regardless of
the reason, staff believes that a public review process of the RFMUD should be conducted prior to the
County's next EAR.

RURAL FRINGE MIXED USE DISTRICT ( RFMUD)
RURAL LANDS STEWARDSHIP AREA (RLSA) OVERLAY SUB - DISTRICT
n
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) Overlay is the Future Land Use Element Sub - District which was adopted
in 2002 through Ordinance 02 -54, as a result of Final Order — ACC -99 -002.
ISSUE BACKGROUND
ACC -99 -002 was issued by the State due to the County's GMT being found to lack regulatory protection for
environmentally sensitive property, not adequately discouraging urban sprawl and preventing the premature
conversion of agricultural land. The Final Order required the following modifications to the GMP to address the
issues within three specified areas:
1. Identify and propose measures to protect prime agricultural areas
2. Direct incompatible uses away from wetlands and upland habitat in order to protect water quality and quantity
and maintain the natural water regime as well as to protect listed animal species and their habitats.
3. Assess the growth potential of the Area by assessing the potential conversion of rural lands to other uses, in
appropriate locations, while discouraging urban sprawl, directing incompatible land uses away from critical
habitat and encouraging development that utilizes creative land use planning techniques including, but not
limited to, public and private schools, urban villages, new towns, satellite communities, area -based
allocations, clustering and open space provisions and mixed use development.
Comprehensive Plan Implementation & Program Assessment
n As noted the RLSA was established based on the principal of preserving environmentally sensitive lands,
discouraging urban sprawl, promoting mixed use, protecting listed species and their habitats, while respecting the
rights inherent to the property owners within the sub - district. The RLSA as expressed in the Future Land Use
Element contains one goal and one objective, which are furthered by 5 policy groups.
The goal of the RLSA is: Collier County seeks to address the long -term needs of residents and property owners
within the Immokalee Area Study boundary of the Collier County Rural and Agricultural Area Assessment. Collier
County's goal is to protect agricultural activities, to prevent the premature conversion of agricultural land to non-
agricultural uses, to direct incompatible uses away from wetlands and upland habitat, to enable the conversion of
rural land to other uses in appropriate locations, to discourage urban sprawl, and to encourage development that
utilizes creative land use planning techniques.
The objective of the RLSA is: To meet the Goal described above, Collier County's objective is to create an incentive
based land use overlay system, herein referred to as the Collier County Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay, based
on the principles of rural land stewardship as defined in Chapter 163.3177(11), F.S. The Policies that will implement
this Goal and Objective are set forth below in groups relating to each aspect of the Goal. Group 1 policies describe
the structure and organization of the Collier County Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay. Group 2 policies relate
to agriculture, Group 3 policies relate to natural resource protection, and Group 4 policies relate to conversion of
land to other uses and economic diversification. Group 5 are regulatory policies that ensure that land that is not
voluntarily included in the Overlay by its owners shall nonetheless meet the minimum requirements of the Final Order
pertaining to natural resource protection.
Of particular relevance to the EAR process is Policy 1.22 of the FLUE which reads:
n
The RLSA Overlay was designed to be a long -term strategic plan with a planning horizon Year of 2025. Many of the
tools, techniques and strategies of the Overlay are new, Innovative, incentive based, and have yet to be tested in
actual implementation. A Comprehensive review of the Overlay shall be prepared for and reviewed by Collier County
and the Department of Community Affairs upon the five-year anniversary of the adoption of the Stewardship District
in the LDC. The purpose of the review shall be to assess the participation in and effectiveness of the Overlay
1
Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA)
implementation in meeting the Goal, Objective and Policies set forth herein. The specific measures of review shall be
as follows:
1. The amount and location of land designated as FSAs, HSAs, WRAs and other SSAs.
2. The amount and location of land designated as SRAs.
3. The number of Stewardship Credits generated, assigned or held for future use.
4. A comparison of the amount, location and type ofAgriculture that existed at the time of a Study and time of review.
5. The amount, location and type of land converted to non - agricultural use with and without participation in the
Stewardship Credit System since its adoption.
6 The extent and use of funding provided by Collier County and other sources Local, State, Federal and private
revenues described in Policy 1.18.
7. The amount, location and type of restoration through participation in the Stewardship Credit System since its
adoption.
8. The potential for use of Credits in urban areas.
The 5 -year review was compiled by County Staff and evaluated by the 5 -Year Review Committee. A Committee
comprised of a diverse stake holder membership. The Technical review or Phase I was conducted according to the
below described schedule, with acceptance of the report on May 27, 2008 by the Collier Board of County
Commissioners and transmittal of the Phase I Technical Review to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) on
May 30, 2008.
The Phase I report concluded that significant progress has been made in achieving the RLSA goal and since the
conclusion of the Phase I report a number of approved SSA's have been processed within the system for a total of 16
SSA's comprising approximately 55, 956 acres. There has been no additional SRA acreage added to the system since
the time of the technical review, leaving a total of 5,027 acres designated SRA with 1,027 of that total dedicated to
public use benefit. The Phase I Report, which has been included electronically on CD as part of the 2011 EAR, stands
as the first prong within the County's RLSA overlay EAR assessment.

At the conclusion of the Phase I Report, the County initiated the Phase H process, which was an assessment of the
individual five group policies of the RLSA which concluded with the generation of the Phase -Two Report.
Within the development of the Phase Two report the Committee developed strategies to create incentives to encourage
rural landowners to voluntarily agree to:
• eliminate their right to convert agricultural land to non agricultural uses in exchange for
compensation;
• retain agriculture within Open Lands as an alternative to conversion of such lands using Baseline
Standards (and thereby reduce the size of the "development footprint" and the threat of urban sprawl
in the RLSA Overlay);
• create, restore and enhance panther corridor connections;
• restore flow ways and habitat through a credit generating system that considers cost, difficulty and
benefit value of each restoration type through a newly adopted tiered system;
• impose a cap of 45,000 SRA acres in the RLSA Overlay and recalibrate the credit system to ensure
the balance essential to the sustainability of a voluntary incentive based program which generates
significant public benefits without incurring public expenditures; and
• cooperate with Collier County in its creation of a plan for a county transportation network that meets
the adopted Level of Service through build out of the county and considers the location of public
services needed to accommodate the build out population.
The RLSA Committee also engaged the public and various interest groups in a rigorous assessment of each
�\ and every RLSA Overlay policy to ensure internal consistency, thoughtful precision and careful scrutiny of the data,
analysis and justification for each of the proposed Policy amendments. The work product of the RLSA Committee for
its Phase II Report therefore actually consists of proposed GMT Policy amendments.
The RLSA Committee's Five Year Review of the Rural Lands Stewardship Program incorporates two
volumes. Volume I incorporates both the earlier Phase I Report and the Phase II Report. Volume I of the Report is
organized and respectfully submitted in the following sections:
• Phase I Report contains the County's qualitative evaluation of the Overlay and ways to more
effectively implement the RLSA Goal and Objectives.
• Phase 2 Report, Section 1 contains the RLSA Committee's recommended substantive policy
amendments.
• Phase 2 Report, Section 2 contains all of the RLSA Committee's recommended policy
amendments, whether substantive or insubstantial.
Phase 2 Report, Section 3 contains the supporting documentation for the amendments.
Phase 2 Report, Section 4 provides an account of public participation and comments,
committee deliberations, and committee action.
�. 0 Phase 2 Report, Section 5 contains the RLSA Committee's recommended new Policy 3.7 of
the Transportation Element of the GMP based on a proposal for a county transportation network
initiated by Collier County Transportation Planning.
Q.ir l I A, Ctn...orrlchin Arne IQI CA)
In summary, based upon the adopted RLSA Overlay and the RLSA Committee's recommended policies as
contained in Volume I of the Five Year Review of the Rural Lands Stewardship Program, the RLSA will:
1. Achieve a balance of natural resource protection, agriculture and sustainable community development at the
planning horizon year and at build -out.
2. Provide new and meaningful economic incentives for agriculture to remain as a viable component of the
economy of Collier County.
3. Increase the total area of lands expected to be placed into Stewardship Sending Areas from 92,000 acres to
134,300 acres.
4. Enable protection and restoration of critical natural resources on private land using incentives that do not
require public dollars for acquisition or management.
5. Align the RLSA program with the Florida Panther Protection Program's objectives.
6. Establish a maximum SRA development footprint of 45,000 acres -less than 1/4 of the total RLSA; or 15%
when open space within new communities is accounted for.
7. Reduce the potential for conversion of open lands to non -RLSA baseline development, thereby reducing
urban sprawl.
8. Accommodate forecasted population growth in a sustainable manner and ensure that supporting public
facilities, services, and infrastructure are provided.
9. Create new opportunities to site economic development driven new businesses in proximity to places for
employees to live.
10. Accommodate a long range interconnected transportation network plan that serves Eastern Collier County.
Volume H of the Five Year Review of the Rural Lands Stewardship Program includes all support information
including major documents, presentations, minutes, etc. considered by the Committee during the course of its twenty
three [23] public meetings. Both Volumes of the Five Year Review of the Rural Lands Stewardship Program have
been provided on CD attached to the EAR adoption workbook and stands as the basis for the Countv's
comprehensive EAR evaluation of the RLSA Overl
The following are the major substantive proposed amendments to the RLSAO advanced for consideration by the
Committee during its approximate 9 -month review of the RLSAO extending from April through December, 2008.
Although there are other recommended amendments to the RLSAO than those listed as follows, the remaining
amendments are considered to be minor, corrective in nature, and intended to cause the RLSAO policies to be better
harmonized with each other.
Policy 1.6.1 (new Policy)
The recommended new Policy 1.6.1 permits a five year "Conditional Period" for a Conditional Stewardship Easement
with a possible extension for one additional year.
Policy 1.7 (amendment)
The recommended amendment to Policy 1.7 provides that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
would be a grantee (along with Collier County) to future "perpetual restrictive easements" (Stewardship Easements)
rather than the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services which has been the grantee in past BCC -
approved RLSA Stewardship Easements.
Policy 1.22 (amendment)
Currently, Policy 1.22 language provides for RLSAO review, "upon the five year anniversary of the adoption of the
Stewardship District in the Land Development Code (LDC) ". The amendment proposes to have the review completed
as part of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report process as required by Chapter 163 of the Florida State Statutes.

Rural I ands Stewardshin Area (RLSA)
Group 2 (amendment)
The recommended amendment to the Group 2 language eliminates the language related to protection of agricultural
lands from premature conversion to other uses, and replaces this language with new language related to the retention
of land for agricultural production.
Policy 2.1 (amendment)
The recommended amendments to Policy 2.1 eliminate the language related to protection of agricultural lands from
premature conversion to other uses. Also included is the elimination of the language comparing acreage needed to
accommodate the projected population of the RLSA in the Horizon year of 2025 with the acreage required to
accommodate such projected population if the RLSAO were not utilized.
Policy 2.2 (amendment)
The recommended amendments to Policy 2.2 provide for additional Stewardship Credits to retain agriculture lands
within the RLSA.
Policy 3.11 (amendment)
The recommended amendments to Policy 3.11:
• eliminate the restoration priority language related to restoration work within the Camp Keis Strand Flowway
^. Stewardship Area (FSA) or contiguous Habitat Stewardship Areas (HSAs); provide language allowing for two
additional Stewardship Credits (rather than the 4 Credits now permitted) for restoration activities within a
FSA or HSA, regardless of location in the RLSA; elimination of the additional two Stewardship Credits for
each acre of land dedicated for restoration activities within other FSAs and HSAs; and provide additional
Credits for either caracara restoration at 2 Credits per acre, or for exotic control/buming at 4 Credits per acres,
or for flow way restoration at 4 Credits per acre, or for native habitat restoration at 6 Credits per acre. Within
the area proposed for restoration, Land Use Layers 1 -6 must be removed. The specific process for assignment
of additional restoration Credits shall be included in the Stewardship District of the LDC;
provide for Stewardship Credits to incentivize the creation, restoration, and enhancement of a northern
panther corridor connection and a southern panther corridor connection by providing for 2 additional
Stewardship Credits for each acre of land so dedicated and, should the owner also effectively complete the
corridor restoration, an additional 8 Credits per acre would be awarded;
provide for Stewardship Credit incentives for restoration of shallow wetland wading bird foraging habitat
located in FSA, HSA, or Water Retention Area (WRA) at the rate of 2 additional Credits per acre and, upon
successful completion of the restoration, an additional 6 Credits per acre shall be awarded; and
• limit Credit incentives to only one type of restoration for each acre so designated for restoration
Policy 3.13 (amendment)
n The recommended amendment to Policy 3.13 requires the acreage of a WRA, if such acreage provides for water
treatment and retention exclusively for a Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA), to be included in the SRA acreage and
would require the use of Stewardship Credits to enable the use of such an area for this purpose in a SRA.

• 8 Credits required for each acre of land included in a SRA where such Credits were created from a
Stewardship Credit Sending Area deemed vested under the 8 Credit ratio; and
• 10 Credits required for each acre of land included in a SRA where such Credits were created from any other
Stewardship Sending Area
Policy 4.22 (new)
This new Policy 4.22 provides that assessment of historic or cultural resources be done when such are identified in the
RLSA through the SRA designation process, including the assessment of such resource's historic or cultural
significance and the exploration of educational and public awareness opportunities regarding such significant
resources.
Policy 5.4 (amendment)
This recommended amendment to Policy 5.4 provides language to establish a map of potential wildlife crossing within
12 months of the effective date of the GMP amendments to be used in evaluating community, cultural and historical,

Policy 5.7 (new)
This new Policy 5.7 requires that any development on lands not participating in the RLS program be compatible with
surrounding land uses and that outdoor lighting shall be reasonably managed to protect the nighttime environment,
conserve energy, and enhance safety and security
Policy 5.8 (new)
This new Policy 5.8 provides that assessment of historic or cultural resources be done when such are identified in the
RLSA, including the assessment of such resource's historic or cultural significance and the exploration of educational
and public awareness opportunities regarding such significant resources.
The above proposed amendments have not been scheduled by the County for an official amendment cycle of the GMP
as of the date of authoring the EAR. Since the acceptance of the Phase II report on April 22, 2009, there has been
another effort lead by U.S. Fish and Wildlife, the development of a "Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP)" for the RLSA
Overlay area. It is anticipated that the outcome of the HCP and the specifics contained within the HCP will have a
influence upon the composition and specifics of the RLSA and how development will move forward within the
regulatory environment. Based upon that recognition, the County intends to wait to the conclusion of the HCP
process before scheduling any amendments to the RLSA Overlay.

Climate Change -- Energy Efficiency
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Climate Change is focused on the determination of the best ways to integrakL policies related -to climate
change and energy efficiency to promote strategies to reduce green house gas emissions for -tile
County.
ISSUE BACKGROUND
Land use and transportation comprise the majority of contributions to greenhouse gas emissions in
Collier County. Carbon emissions from the burning of fossil fuels to power the built environment
represent a potential long -term hazard to the world, but also, and in particular peninsular Florida.
Greater efficiency of power use, reduction in emissions and transition to renewable forms of energy
will have the greatest impact in reducing the County's carbon footprint when tied to land use planning
over all other sectors.
The idea of a carbon footprint is a relatively new concept and can have a different meaning, depending
on what is being measured. The general concept however, is a measure of the greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions directly, and sometimes indirectly, caused by a given individual, business, community, etc.
The idea is that once a carbon footprint can be determined, efforts can be taken to reduce the footprint
through mitigation, also called carbon offsets. The term is a subset of a broader concept known as the
ecological footprint, which is a more comprehensive measure of an individual, business, or
community's impact on the Earth's ecosystems, comparing human demand with the Earth's ability to
regenerate and accommodate such demand.
As noted in the Introduction section, in 2007, the County went through a process to inventory the GHG
10 emissions in County Government and also for the County as a whole. Further detail on this inventory is
included in the final report prepared by TwentyFifty, LLC, titled, "Energy Audit and Greenhouse Gas
Inventory ". The below table represents the percentage breakdown of total CO2 emissions for the
County by sector in 2007.

The purpose of the inventory was to better understand the ways the County utilized energy so that
effective policies and programs could be implemented to reduce costs and environmental impact.

The project vas funded by Collier County Audubon Societe, The Consseryan,:� of Southz� e:,, f'lor d l
and National Audubon's "1'ogetherGreen grant program and utilized the sofa are and protocol pro �id ;d
by ICLEI, the International Council of focal E viron- mental Initiati,.cs.
The three primary motivations for the Energy .Audit Report were:
1) Understanding patterns of energy use can lead to saving residents; taxpayers money.
2) It is widely accepted that fossil fuel energy use contributes to global climate change, the extent
of which will be critical for low lying regions like Collier County. Assessing and reducing
emissions demonstrates responsibility to present and future residents.
3) Increasing numbers of state and federal programs (and grant opportunities) require
municipalities to address climate change. By following the established ICLEI protocol, Collier
County joins twenty four communities in Florida and hundreds nationwide willing to tape
action and thus demonstrate responsibility and accountability.
The report provided specific recommendation recommendations and next steps for County as follows:
1) Establish the following reduction targets: 10% by 2020, 20% by 2030, and 50% by 2050.
2) Collate a summary of the baseline inventory, all energy savings related projects, together with
additional programs (including but not limited to those described below -) into a comprehensive Collier
County Climate Action Plan. Identify within the plan how GHG reduction measures tie into other
County and regional efforts (such as the Master Mobility Plan, Coastal Management Plans and Land
Development Codes). Include an assessment of the impacts of climate change and energy management
in existing plans and codes to ensure the County anticipates and budgets properly for all potential
changes in Collier County through at least the next forty years.
3) Pursue the LFGTE project along with other waste management projects.
4) Continue government based work: i) building energy retrofits, ii) street lighting replacements to
high efficiency bulbs, iii) alternative fuel vehicles, and iv) promote the commuter services program.
5) Continue the community focused transportation programs such as traffic signal optimization.
b) Establish new community oriented programs to include: i) a community focused `Be Green when
Green makes Cents" program, or equivalent and ii) a Green Business Program. (Additional programs
could be described within in the planned Master Mobility Plan and potentially be funded through
additional grant monies or other sources).
7) Carry out an energy use /greenhouse gas emissions re- inventory in 3 -5 years to measure progress.
The Energy Audit was presented to and accepted by the Board of County Commissioners in November
of 2009. While the Board did not provide wholesale acceptance of all of the recommendations
contained in the report, the Board did, based upon the acceptance of the Report, create the Rebuilding
Collier's Energy Use Task Force. The purpose of the Task Force is to explore the recommendations
contained within the Report and bring suggestions back to the Board on the means to accomplishing
the energy efficiencies contained in the Report.
Climate Change - 2
The work of the Task Force is on -going at the time of authoring this report. In June of 2010, the Task
Force began discussions with the Board regarding the development of a program to green up energy
use at homes and businesses throughout the County. The program the Task Force envisions would
take advantage of legislation called Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE), signed by Gov. Crist in
May, 2010. PACE sets out a financing mechanism for local governments to create a pool of money
homeowners and businesses can tap for projects from electric car chargers to energy efficient
windows. Other possible uses for the money include insulation upgrades, solar panels, wind turbines
and energy efficient air conditioning. The full specifics and applicability of the program were still in
the development stage by the Task Force at the time of authoring this report, but the PACE program
and other similar efforts to increase energy efficiency within the County are expected based on the
Task Force's work within the Energy Audit. The future recommendations of the Task Force, once
approved by the Board are expected to intertwine with the regulatory environment of the County.
Land use decisions programmed to save energy and protect the Earth's climate have concurrent and
reinforcing benefits of enhancing local quality of life and the community's unique sense of place. By
enhancing the County's land use policies and regulations to discourage urban sprawl and better
recognize the relationship between land use decisions and energy consequences, while preserving
agricultural and natural resources, Collier County will proactively take steps to buffer against global
warming`s potential impact over the next century. It should be noted that between 2003 and 2009 the
County's unincorporated population grew at an 11.9 percent rate, while the number of road miles grew
at a 16.8 percent rate and the total developed land area grew at a 19.9 percent rate. Stronger policies
interlinking land use and energy efficiency by the GMP and Land Development Code (LDC) may have
created a more uniform rate of growth among these three inter - related matrix.
Primarily, compact development patterns are as important as promoting greater fuel efficiency in
combating climate change. Locating homes in conveniently placed, walkable neighborhoods can
significantly reduce the growth in the number of miles the County's citizens' drive, shrink the nation's
carbon footprint, and give people more housing choices. Just as compact development can be a major
contributor in reducing CO2 emissions (residents generally drive a third fewer miles than those in
automobile - oriented suburbs), sprawl development, which increases the number of vehicle miles of
travel, is a major contributor in increasing CO2 emissions.
The implications of the disconnect between land use and transportation planning not only manifest in
greater amounts of CO2 emissions, but greater infrastructure cost to the County. Traditional
Neighborhood Design based upon Smart Growth and New Urbanism principles with smaller lot sizes,
compact urban form, a variety of multifamily housing types, and a mix of land uses results in
infrastructure systems that serve more development in proportion to their cost to construct. In
comparison, typical lower density Conventional Suburban Design alternatives require far - reaching
infrastructure systems to serve lower- density development, with higher costs to build. Case studies
have shown a clear reduction in infrastructure cost for scenarios with higher density. 1 The city of
Tallahassee /Leon County Multimodal Transportation District Plan illustrates the cost of low density,
provided on the following page.

The Collier GMP has policies allocated throughout the various elements that address energy efficiency
n in transportation planning, land use, residential development, and housing. Through the EAR process,
the County will identify opportunities to build on the existing policy framework and/or introduce new
policies specifically design to address climate change.
Population Projections and Energy Efficiency
The most recent build -out projections for the County, as provided by the Collie Inter - Active Growth
Model are presented in the below table. What is significant to the issue of Climate Change is the
percentage of projected growth that is allocated to Immokalee, the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District
(RFMUD) and the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA). These three Districts of the GMP, with the
anticipated adoption of the transmitted Immokalee Are Master Plan changes, have be designed based
upon smart growth principles, which promote a range of housing opportunities, encourages the mixing
of land uses, provide a variety of transportation choices and encourages the design of walkable
neighborhoods.
The principles and concepts upon which these Districts were created are those being required by the
State through HB697 to be incorporated within a jurisdictions local comprehensive plan. The Collier
County Growth Management Plan has a head start in incorporating the necessary modifications needed
to the planning and regulatory environment to address the challenge of Climate Change, with nearly
half of the County's fixture residents anticipated to live within a built environment shaped by planning
principals geared to promote sustainability. It should be noted that the concepts of sustainability are
spread throughout the GMP's various Elements and will evaluated during the EAR process to identify
opportunities to further their effectiveness.

The most recent proposal has been included at the
The GMP objectives and policies related to the issue must establish the rational nexus for the creation
of tools which focus on creating development that will result in fewer vehicle miles and trips and more
walking, biking, and transit trips. That means compact mixed -use communities with highly connected
and pedestrian- oriented street networks where jobs, housing, entertainment, and retail are in close
proximity and where transit and other forms of non - vehicular transportation are a practical solution. In
addition to reducing vehicle miles of travel and, therefore, GHG emissions, such communities promote
healthier citizens through cleaner air and the ability to walk to more places, enable older Floridians to
remain independent and in their homes longer, reduce traffic congestion and time spent in cars (and the
number of cars needed by a family, which also saves money), and protect natural resources.
Comprehensive Plan Implementation
The Collier Growth Management Plan addresses the need for greater energy efficiency in multiple
areas, including new developments, residential construction, and mobility options within transportation
systems. Below are the existing and proposed policies (grouped by Element) contained within the
various Elements of the GMP, which are designed to address the issue of energy efficiency and green
house gas reduction strategies. The effectiveness of each and every one of the policies listed below is
provided for within the individual element in which they are contained. To avoid unnecessary
redundancy each one of those assessments will not be replicated within this section. It should be noted
that a number of these Objectives and Policies are being suggested for modification to improve the
overall effectiveness of the Objective or Policy.
Future Land Use Element
Policy 2.4
Pursuant to Rule 9J- 5.0055(6)(a) 3., Florida Administrative Code and the Urban Infill and
Urban Redevelopment Strategy contained in this Element, development located within the South
U.S. 41 Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) (See Map TR -4) may be exempt
from transportation concurrency requirements, so long as impacts to the transportation system
are mitigated using the procedures set forth in Policy 5.5 of the Transportation Element.
Climate Change - 6
Developments within the South U.S. 41 TCEA that obtain an exception from concurrency
requirements for transportation, pursuant to the certification process described in
n Transportation Element, Policy 5.5, and that include affordable housing (as per Section 2.06.00
the Collier County Land Development Code, as amended) as part of their plan of development
shall not be subject to the Traffic Congestion Density Reduction requirement as contained in the
Density Rating System of this Element.
Developments within the Northwest and East - Central TCMAs that meet the requirements of
FLUE Policies 6.1 through 6.5, and Transportation Policies 5.7 and 5.8, and that include
affordable housing (as per Section 2.06.00 of the Collier County Land Development Code, as
amended) as part of their plan of development shall not be subject to the Traffic Congestion
Density Reduction requirement as contained in the Density Rating System of this Element.
Developments within the South U.S. 41 TCEA that do not obtain certification pursuant to Policy
5.6 of the Transportation Element shall meet all concurrency requirements. Whether or not a
concurrency exception is requested, developments shall be subject to a concurrency review for
the purpose of reserving capacity for those trips associated with the development and
maintaining accurate counts of the remaining capacity on the roadway network.
Policy 2.5
The County shall designate Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMA) to
encourage compact urban development where an integrated and connected network of roads is
in place that provides multiple, viable alternative travel paths or modes for common trips.
Performance within each TCMA shall be measured based on the percentage of lane miles
meeting the LOS described in Policies 1.3 and 1.4 of the Transportation Element. Standards
n within TCMAs are provided in Policy 5.8 of the Transportation Element. New Development
within each TCMA shall be consistent with the criteria set forth in Objective 6, and Policies 6.1
through 6.5 of this Element. The following Transportation Concurrency Management Areas are
hereby designated:
1. Northwest TCMA — This area is bounded by the Collier - Lee County Line on the north
side; the west side of the I -75 right -of -way on the east side; Pine Ridge Road on the south side;
and, the Gulf of Mexico on the west side (See Map TR -5).
2. East Central TCMA — This area is bounded by Pine Ridge Road on the north side; Collier
Boulevard on the east side; Davis Boulevard on the south side, and; Livingston Road (extended)
on the west side (See Map TR -6).
Policy 2.6
Traffic impacts generated by new development are regulated through the implementation of a
`checkbook' transportation concurrency management system, which incorporates two
Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMAs) and a Transportation Concurrency
Exception Area (TCEA). New developments within the TCMAs and the TCEA that commit to
certain identified traffic management strategies shall reduce (the TCMAs) the traffic impact
mitigation measures that would otherwise be applied to such developments.
Policy 4.7:
The Board of County Commissioners may consider whether to adopt redevelopment plans for
existing commercial and residential areas. Such plans may include alternative land uses,
modifications to development standards, and incentives that may be necessary to encourage
Climate Change - 7
redevelopment. The Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the Board
on March 14, 2000; it encompasses the Bayshore Drive corridor and the triangle area formed by
US 41 East, Davis Boulevard and Airport- Pulling Road. Other specific areas that may be
considered by the Board of County Commissioners for redevelopment include, but are not
necessarily limited to:
a. Pine Ridge Road, between U.S. 41 North and Goodlette -Frank Road;
b. U.S. 41 North in Naples Park; and,
C. Bonita Beach Road between Vanderbilt Drive and the west end of Little Hickory Shores
#1 Subdivision.
Policy 5.3:
Discourage unacceptable levels of urban sprawl in order to minimize the cost of community
facilities by: confining urban intensity development to areas designated as Urban on the Future
Land Use Map; requiring that any changes to the Urban Designated Areas be contiguous to an
existing Urban Area boundary; and, encouraging the use of creative land use planning
techniques and innovative approaches to development in the County's Agricultural/Rural
designated area, which will better serve to protect environmentally sensitive areas, maintain the
economic viability of agriculture and other predominantly rural land uses, and provide for cost
efficient delivery of public facilities and services.
Policy 5.5:
Encourage the use of land presently designated for urban intensity uses before designating other
areas for urban intensity uses. This shall occur by planning for the expansion of County owned
and operated public facilities and services to existing lands designated for urban intensity uses,
the Rural Settlement District (formerly known as North Golden Gate), and the Rural Fringe
Mixed Use District, before servicing new areas.
Policy 5.6:
Permit the use of clustered residential development, Planned Unit Development techniques,
mixed -use development, rural villages, new towns, satellite communities, transfer of development
rights, agricultural and conservation easements, and other innovative approaches, in order to
conserve open space and environmentally sensitive areas. Continue to review and amend the
zoning and subdivision regulations as necessary to allow and encourage such innovative land
development techniques.
Within the Rural Land Stewardship Area Overlay to date, there has been a total of 16 Stewardship
Sending Areas, comprising approximately 55, 956 acres of environmentally sensitive and
agriculturally viable lands which have been set aside from development, with a total of 5,027 acres
designated SRA with 1,027 acres of that total dedicated to public use benefit. Additionally, the SRA
was designed upon smart growth principals and the spatial relationship between dwelling units and
supporting land uses.
Within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District there are a total of 20,617 acres designated sending that
are eligible to sever their development right. It should be noted that this acreage does not include all n
designated sending lands due to those lands being in public ownership and not eligible for the TDR
program. Of the 20,617 acres, 17.5 percent or 3,615 acres have had or are in the process of having
their TDB's separated through voluntary participation in the program. Based upon the above estimates
Climate Change - 8
there are potentially 15,819 TDR's, of which 12.7 percent or 2,019 TDR's have been generated
through participation in the program. Of the 2,019 TDR's which have been generated to date, 300
TDR's or 14.8 percent of the TDR's generated have been redeemed.
Objective 6
Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMAs) are geographically compact areas
designated in local government comprehensive plans where intensive development exists, or such
development is planned. New development within a TCMA shall occur in a manner that will
ensure an adequate level of mobility (as defined in Policy 5.8 of the Transportation Element) and
further the achievement of the following identified important state planning goals and policies:
discouraging the proliferation of urban sprawl, protecting natural resources, protecting historic
resources, maximizing the efficient use of existing public facilities, and promoting public transit,
bicycling, walking and other alternatives to the single occupant automobile. Transportation
Concurrency Management Areas are hereby established in the specific geographic areas
described in Policy 2.5 of this Element.
The County through the Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) provides for the annual
assessment of the County's 167.5 lane miles within a TCMA to ensure that these areas are providing
alternatives to traditional road capacity demand solutions. Provided at the conclusion of this major
issue is the County's TCMA reports from 2006 to 2010 or Attachment "I ". These reports indicate that
the volume to capacity ratio for these lane miles has been maintained. While the County has not
specifically identified the number of projects that have developed within the TCMAs over the
evaluation period, each project was/is required per the GMP to utilize two of the Transportation
Demand Management strategies articulated in policy 6.2 to satisfy the Concurrency Management
system. This allows for development to move forward in an area in which services and infrastructure
are readily available, but due to density and intensity of surrounding uses couldn't move forward on
traditional solutions of additional land capacity, which is directly related to the County's mandate to
discourage urban sprawl.
Policy 6.1
Collier County's designated Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMAs) shall
discourage the proliferation of urban sprawl by promoting residential and commercial infill
development and by promoting redevelopment of areas wherein current zoning was approved
prior to the establishment of this Growth Management Plan (January 10, 1989). Infill
development and redevelopment within the TCMAs shall be consistent with Objective 5, and
relevant subsequent policies, of this Element.
Policy 6.2
In order to be exempt from link specific concurrency, new commercial development or
redevelopment within Collier County's designated Transportation Concurrency Management
Areas (TCMAs) shall utilize at least two of the following Transportation Demand Management
(TDM) strategies, as may be applicable:
a) Preferential parking for carpools and vanpools that is expected to increase the average
vehicle occupancy for work trips generated by the development.
b) Parking charge that is expected to increase the average vehicle occupancy for work trips
generated by the development and/or increase transit ridership.
C) Cash subsidy that is expected to increase the average vehicle occupancy for work trips
generated by the development and /or increase transit ridership.
Climate Change - 9
d) Flexible work schedules that are expected to reduce peak hour automobile work trips
generated by the development.
e) Compressed workweek that would be expected to reduce vehicle miles of travel and peak
hour work trips generated by the development.
f) Telecommuting that would reduce the vehicle miles of travel and peak hour work trips
generated by the development.
g) Transit subsidy that would reduce auto trips generated by the development and increase
transit ridership.
h) Bicycle and Pedestrian facilities that would be expected to reduce vehicle miles of travel
and automobile work trips generated by the development.
i) Including residential units as a portion of a commercial project that would reduce vehicle
miles of travel.
j) Providing transit shelters within the development (must be coordinated with Collier
County Transit).
Policy 6.3:
In order to be exempt from link specific concurrency, new residential development or
redevelopment within Collier County's designated Transportation Concurrency Management
Areas (TCMAs) shall utilize at least two of the following Transportation Demand Management
(TDM) strategies, as may be applicable:
a) Including neighborhood commercial uses within a residential project.
b) Providing transit shelters within the development (must be coordinated with Collier
County Transit).
C) Providing bicycle and pedestrian facilities, with connections to abutting commercial
properties.
d) Including affordable housing (minimum of 25% of the units) within the development.
e) Vehicular access to abutting commercial properties.
Policy 7.1
The County shall encourage developers and property owners to connect their properties to
fronting collector and arterial roads, except where no such connection can be made without
violating intersection spacing requirements of the Land Development Code.
Policy 7.2
The County shall encourage internal accesses or loop roads in an effort to help reduce vehicle
congestion on nearby collector and arterial roads and minimize the need for traffic signals.
Policy 7.3
All new and existing developments shall be encouraged to connect their local streets and their
interconnection points with adjoining neighborhoods or other developments regardless of land
use type.
Policy 7.4
The County shall encourage new developments to provide walkable communities with a blend of
densities, common open spaces, civic facilities and a range of housing prices and types.
Policy 7.5:
Climate Change - 10
The County shall encourage mixed -use development within the same buildings by allowing
residential dwelling units over and/or abutting commercial development. This policy shall be
implemented through provisions in specific subdistricts in this Growth Management Plan.
Policy 7.6
The County shall explore the creation of an urban "greenway" network along existing major
canal banks and powerline easements.
Policy 7.7
The Community Development and Environmental Services Division will continue to research
smart growth practices in an effort to improve the future of Collier County by specifically
addressing land use and transportation planning techniques for inclusion in future land
development regulations.
Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay
Goal
Collier County seeks to address the long -term needs of residents and property owners within the
Immokalee Area Study boundary of the Collier County Rural and Agricultural Area
Assessment. Collier County's goal is to protect agricultural activities, to prevent the premature
conversion of agricultural land to non - agricultural uses, to direct incompatible uses away from
wetlands and upland habitat, to enable the conversion of rural land to other uses in appropriate
locations, to discourage urban sprawl, and to encourage development that utilizes creative land
use planning techniques.
The evaluation of the effectiveness is provided for within the RLSA major issue of this EAR report
and the attached Phase One and Phase Two report generated during the County 5 -year review of the
RLSA Overlay.
Policy 1.2
The Overlay protects natural resources and retains viable agriculture by promoting compact
rural mixed -use development as an alternative to low- density single use development, and
provides a system of compensation to private property owners for the elimination of certain land
uses in order to protect natural resources and viable agriculture in exchange for transferable
credits that can be used to entitle such compact development. The strategies herein are based in
part on the principles of Florida's Rural Lands Stewardship Act, Chapter 163.3177(11) F.S. The
Overlay includes innovative and incentive based tools, techniques and strategies that are not
dependent on a regulatory approach, but will complement existing local, regional, state and
federal regulatory programs.
Group 2 — Policies to protect agricultural lands from premature conversion to other uses and
continue the viability of agricultural production through the Collier County Rural Lands
Stewardship Area Overlay.
Group 4 - Policies to enable conversion of rural lands to other uses in appropriate locations,
while discouraging urban sprawl, and encouraging development that utilizes creative land use
planning techniques by the establishment of Stewardship Receiving Areas.

Objective 4 - The County shall provide for the safe and convenient movement of pedestrians and
non - motorized vehicles through the implementation of the Collier County Comprehensive
Pathways Plan.
Policy 4.1 - The County shall incorporate the Collier County Comprehensive Pathways Plan into
this Transportation Element by reference and shall periodically update the Pathways Plan as
needed.
Policy 4.2 - The County shall provide an interconnected and continuous bicycle and pedestrian
system by constructing the improvements identified on the 2030 Pathway Facilities Map series as
funds permit.
Policy 4.3 - The County's pathways construction program should be consistent with the
Comprehensive Pathways Plan to the maximum extent feasible.
Policy 4.4 - The County shall annually adopt a Five (5) Year Pathways Work Program, which
establishes pathway priorities, including projects to retrofit existing streets to accommodate
bicycles and pedestrians.
Policy 4.5 - The County shall, to the greatest extent possible, identify state and federal funds and
provide local funds for the implementation of the 5 Year Pathways Work Program.
Policy 4.6 - The County shall provide for the safe movement of non - motorized vehicles through
implementation of its Land Development Code and highway design standards ordinances and
shall incorporate bike lanes, sidewalks and pathways, as deemed appropriate, in new
construction and reconstruction of roadways.
Policy 4.7 - The County shall incorporate bike lanes in roadway resurfacing projects as is
physically possible and will not result in a safety or operational problem.
Policy 4.8 - The County shall follow the most current bicycle and pedestrian facilities design and
construction standards, as developed by the Florida Department of Transportation.
Policy 4.9 - The County shall work to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled and Greenhouse Gas
Emission by providing for the safe movement of non - motorized vehicles through implementation
of its Land Development Code and highway design standards ordinances and shall incorporate
bike lanes, sidewalks and pathways, as deemed appropriate, in new construction and
reconstruction of roadways. - Proposed
Objective 5 - The County shall coordinate the Transportation System development process with
the Future Land Use Map.
The 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan scheduled to be adopted by the Collier Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO), the basis for how improvements move from the planning spectrum to
the construction phase to additions to the transportation system was based upon land use modeling as
provided for by the Collier Inter - Active Growth Model (CIGM). The CIGM was accepted by the
Board of County Commissioners in January of 2009 as an additional planning tool to be utilized by the
County. The CIGM projects population in a spatially distributed manner that is based upon the
regulatory allowances contained within the GMP and the individual sub districts contained within.
Climate Change - 12
This fact further strengthens the tie between the County's long range transportation and land use
planning, which in turn is anticipated to reduce inefficient public expenditures regarding needed
improvements.
Policy 5.4 - Pursuant to Rule 9J- 5.0055(6)(a)3., Florida Administrative Code and the Urban Infill
and Urban Redevelopment Strategy contained in the Future Land Use Element of this Plan, the
South U.S. 41 Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) is hereby designated.
Development located within the South U.S. 41 TCEA (MapTR -4) may be exempt from
transportation concurrency requirements, so long as impacts to the transportation system are
mitigated using the set procedures.
Policy 5.5 - Commercial developments within the South U.S. 41 TCEA that choose to obtain an
exception from concurrency requirements for transportation will provide certification from the
Transportation Planning Department that at least four Transportation Demand Management
(TDM) strategies will be utilized.
Policy 5.6 - The County shall designate. Transportation Concurrency Management Areas
(TCMAs) to encourage compact urban development where an integrated and connected network
of roads is in place that provide multiple, viable alternative travel paths or modes for common
trips. Performance within each TCMA shall be measured based on the percentage of lane miles
meeting the LOS described in this Transportation Element, Policies 1.3 and 1.4 of this Element.
The following Transportation Concurrency Management Areas are designated: Northwest
TCMA — This area is bounded by the Collier - Lee County Line on the north side; the west side
of the I -75 right -of -way on the east side; Pine Ridge Road on the south side; and, the Gulf of
Mexico on the west side (Map TR -5). East Central TCMA — This area is bounded by Pine Ridge
Road on the north side; Collier Boulevard on the east side; Davis Boulevard on the south side,
and; Livingston Road (extended) on the west side (Map TR -6).
Policy 7.4 - The County shall develop corridor management plans that take into consideration
urban design and landscaping measures that will promote positive development along the major
arterial entrances to the urban area. Such plans shall take into account the recommendations of
the Community Character Plan, County- sponsored Smart Growth initiatives, and the impacts of
the South US 41 Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) and the two (2)
Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMAs) as the Board of County
Commissioners may periodically appropriate funding for these plans.
Objective 9 - The County shall encourage neighborhood involvement in the establishment and
maintenance of safe and pleasant conditions for the residents, pedestrians, bicyclists and
motorists on neighborhood streets, which are not classified as arterials or collectors through the
implementation of the Collier County Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP). In
developing strategies and measures to encourage such conditions, the NTMP shall consider the
impact of such strategies and measures on the adjacent arterial and collector systems (from a
level -of- service and operational standpoint).
Policy 9.3 - The County shall require, wherever feasible, the interconnection of local streets
between developments to facilitate convenient movement throughout the road network. The
Collier County Transportation Division shall develop guidelines, which identify the conditions
that would require the interconnection of two neighboring developments, and shall also develop
standards and criteria for the safe interconnection of such local streets.

Affordable Housing
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
An evaluation of the objectives and policies of the Housing Element of the Growth Management
Plan (GMP) to determine the County's success in providing affordable housing during the
planning period for this Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) — years 2004 through 2009;
current status of available affordable housing in the County; and, needed modifications to the
Housing Element.
ISSUE BACKGROUND
Chapter 9J -5 of the Florida Administrative Code (FAC) sets forth the minimum requirements for
local government comprehensive plans. Specifically, Section 9J- 5.010, FAC, sets forth the
criteria for the establishment of housing goals, objectives and policies; housing data
requirements; and future housing needs analysis to be used by local governments for the
preparation of their required housing elements.
Pursuant to Section 163.3177 (6)(f), Florida Statutes, all local governments within the State are
required to have a Housing Element as part of their comprehensive plan. This Element must
include, "the provision for housing for all current and anticipated future residents of the
jurisdiction; elimination of substandard dwelling conditions; the structural and aesthetic
improvement of existing housing; the provision of adequate future housing, including housing
for low- income, very low- income, and moderate - income families, mobile homes, and group
home facilities and foster care facilities, with supporting infrastructure and public facilities;
provision for relocation housing and identification of historically significant and other housing
n for purposes of conservation, rehabilitation, or replacement; the formulation of housing
implementation programs; and the creation or preservation of affordable housing to minimize the
need for additional local services and avoid the concentration of affordable housing units only in
specific areas of the jurisdiction."
The Collier County Housing Element is consistent with the applicable provisions of Florida
Statutes. The Element provides the County with the necessary guidance to develop appropriate
plans, programs and policies to create an adequate supply of decent, safe, sanitary and affordable
housing for all County residents. The Goal, Objectives and Policies contained within the
Element demonstrate the County's commitment to meet identified and projected deficits in the
supply of housing.
Overview of Affordable Housing Activities
During the planning period for this Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR), the County
successfully administered various State and Federal programs including, but not limited to,
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funds, HOME Investment
Partnerships Program (HOME) entitlement funds, Emergency Shelter Grant funds, State Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funds, and funds authorized by the Housing and Economic
Recovery Act of 2008 - all of which funded numerous development and redevelopment
activities. The range of funded activities includes, but is not limited to, a single - family unit
rehabilitation program, multi- family affordable rental unit development, community park and
infrastructure development, redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed homes, and homebuyer
education programs. In total, the County has assisted individuals and families with down
payment and closing costs in the amount of $11,571,965; funded residential rehabilitation
1
Affordable Housing Major Issue
projects in the amount of $3,108,884; and, assisted in the development of affordable- workforce
housing projects by deferring impact fees in the amount of $9,723,672.68.
The programs and funding strategies identified above (and detailed, in part, in Table 1. below),
and contained within the Housing Element, enabled public /private partnerships between
governmental agencies and the private, not - for - profit and for - profit providers of affordable
housing within the community, to reduce substandard housing, stabilize neighborhoods by
rehabilitating abandoned and foreclosed homes and residential properties, fund infrastructure
projects, and fund new affordable single - family unit and multi - family unit projects within the
County.

Current and Projected Affordable Housing Demand
The University of Florida's Shimberg Center for Housing Studies has been designated by the Florida
Legislature as the agency responsible for maintaining data on affordable housing needs and household
demographics for all counties in the state of Florida. The majority of source data for the housing needs
assessment comes from the 2000 U.S. Census and is updated with current information from building
permit activity and property appraiser data.
Tables 5a. -5e. reflect the Shimberg Center's 2010 -2030 projections of the number of households
in Collier County by income level, including very low - income, low- income and moderate -
income persons/households earning less than, or equal to, 50 %, 80% and 120% of the County's
area median income (AMI), respectively.

As the tables above show, a total of 77,037 households in the County will earn less than 120% of
the AMI in year 2010. This number is projected to grow to 114,922 households by year 2030.

Further, the County's projected total househo�d count by year 2030 will be approximately
200,497.
In addition to the number of households projected to earn less than 120% of the AMI, the cost
burdened household projections indicate that in 2010 approximately 35,942 households (27 %) are
cost burdened, spending greater than thirty percent of their household income on housing related
expenses, and that number is projected to increase to 52,737, or 26 percent, of the County's
households by year 2030.
Comprehensive Plan Implementation to Address Affordable Housing
The data suggest there is a current deficit of available affordable- workforce housing units;
however, the actual deficit is unknown. The downturn in the housing market over recent years
has increased the number of market rate, unrestricted (not subject to regulatory control of rental
or sale price, occupant income level, time period to remain affordable, etc.), affordable units
within the County. In fact, during the second quarter of 2009, approximately 68.1%1 of the units
sold were affordable to households earning the local area median income. However, more recent
data from the fourth quarter of 2009 reveal that only 60.8 %2 of the residential units sold were
affordable, indicating the trend may be reversing. As a result, maintaining a requirement to
provide restricted affordable- workforce housing units within the County is both prudent and
necessary.

Affordable Housing Major Issue
In order to keep pace with the demand for affordable- workforce housing within the County, the
production of both affordable rental and homeownership units will need to continue. The
following is a summary of the projected increase in cost burdened households in Collier County,
by year and growth rate.

Based on the above data from the University of Florida's Shimberg Center for Housing Studies,
July 2010, the County will need, on average per year, approximately 840 units over the next
twenty years to meet projected affordable- workforce housing demand. This total reflects a 160
unit decrease in the number of units required per year from the last evaluation period ending in
year 2004. This data suggest that Goal 1 of the Housing Element, which requires 1000
affordable- workforce units per year to be constructed, can be decreased to approximately 850
units. It should be noted that as economic conditions continue to fluctuate, so will the future
need for affordable- workforce housing within the County. However, there is presently, and will
continue to be, a need for an additional supply of restricted affordable- workforce housing.
In an effort to meet the above referenced affordable- workforce housing demand within the
County, the Housing Element provides the necessary guidance for the development of future
plans, programs and policies to create the required adequate supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and n
affordable housing units for all current and future residents.
Additionally, the County will continue to work with not - for - profit and for - profit providers of
affordable housing to increase private /public partnerships and financial incentives; address local
development regulations and land use issues; continue to eliminate substandard housing; and,
continue to increase the number of affordable housing programs and funding opportunities to its
residents, in order to meet the projected affordable- workforce housing needs for area residents,
including very low, low and moderate income households.

Concurrency Management
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
An evaluation of the objectives and policies of the Growth Management Plan (GMP) for their effect on
managing Concurrency of development throughout the County.
ISSUE BACKGROUND
The purpose of the Capital Improvement Element is to ensure the availability of public facilities and
the adequacy of those facilities at adopted levels of service (LOS) concurrent with the impacts of
development. This is implemented by means of a Concurrency management system that measures the
potential impact of a development permit application on minimum acceptable level of services, as
adopted in the Capital Improvement Element of the Growth Management Plan.
Concurrency management provisions for the County include the guidelines and standards set forth by
Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, and Rule 9J -5, Florida Administrative Code, and describe the
administrative procedures pertaining to the application of Concurrency and establish guidelines for
applying Concurrency to each respective type of public facilities. The County manages Concurrency to
effectively achieve and maintain the adopted level of service standards, to ensure that infrastructure
capacity is available when needed to support development and that development pays its fair share
toward the cost of improvements.
n Comprehensive Plan Implementation & Program Assessment
Over the last five years, the County has submitted financially feasible Cq ital Imrnrnvement Element
updates to the Florida Department of Community Affairs with sufficient revenues to meet demand at
adopted levels of service.
The Capital Improvement Element (CIE), along with the Land Development Code (LDC) and Annual
Update and Inventory Report on Public Facilities (AUIR) are the implementing documents providing
the system of guidelines and standards for managing Concurrency. The combination of these three
documents ensures the County maintains a Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements (the
Schedule) as a component of the CIE.
Levels of service standards (LOSS) for public facilities are established by Policy 1.5 of the CIE. The
LOSS for a specific type of public facility also appears in the corresponding GMP Element or Sub -
Element. Thirdly, the LOSS are found in the Adequate Public Facilities Requirements section of the
LDC. This duplication may be a simple matter of unnecessary redundancy, except that the LOSS do
not necessarily appear the same among them. Any discrepancies should be reconciled and a single
location, or less- redundant locations, selected for these LOSS to appear. The CIE could be formatted
to provide the LOS standards, while the Sub - Element entries could elaborate on the figures and the
LDC could provide for the administrative procedures — with informational references from one to the
others.
The County uses the AUIR to constantly evaluate levels of service for public facilities. The AUIR
incorporates the data and analysis to show the current, committed, and projected demands for
wastewater treatment, potable water supply, transportation, parks and recreation, stormwater
management and solid waste disposal, along with facilities not subject to Concurrency. The AUIR
Concurrency Management — 1
summarizes the actual capacity of existing public facilities and forecasts the capacity of existing and
planned public facilities for each of the five succeeding fiscal years. For the purposes of long -range
capital facility planning, a ten year forecast of projected needed capacity is also done. Improvements
needed to enhance or maintain the adopted LOS standards are identified and tracked in the AUIR.
Each AUIR, once approved by the BCC, forms the basis for the preparation of the next annual update
and amendment of the CIE Schedule.
The County conducted a level of service study in early 2007, which included a survey of level of
service standards in comparable counties throughout Florida along with an assessment of internal
measures. These findings were used in considering adjustments to LOS standards and ensuring that
capacity continues to meet demand.
For the purposes of illustration, the following excerpt from 2008 CIE update and amendment is
provided:
As adopted in the AUIR, the County has revised certain levels of service standards
(LOSS), as follows:
The LOSS for County Regional Park facilities decreased from 2.9412 acres per 1,000
population in FY 07 to 2.9 acres per 1,000 in FY 08; and, the LOSS for County
Community Park facilities decreased from 1.2882 acres per 1,000 population in FY 07
to 1.2 acres per 1,000 in FY 08.
All Community Park Land and Regional Park Land transactions are being facilitated
through interdepartmental transfers exchanging land holdings for park lands, or using
another method not involving expenditure of capital funds. One example is the 47 acre n
Randall Curve interdepartmental transfer in exchange for regional park land at Big
Corkscrew Island Regional Park. These transactions represent changes to the value of
land holdings only.
• The LOSS for County Water facilities decreased from 185 gallons per capita per day
(gpcd) in FY 07 to 170 gpcd in FY 08 in accordance with the 2008 Water Master Plan,
approved by the BCC on June 24, 2008.
The LOSS change and projected decrease in population growth reported in the AUIR have
led to the existing potable water plants being able to maintain reliability longer without
plant expansions or new plant construction. The following changes were made to match
the June 11, 2008 population projections and resulting water demands:
• NERWTP: Changed new 8.75 MGD plant construction in FY 14 to new 7.5 MGD
plant construction in FY 18; Changed 6.0 MGD expansion in FY 23 to FY 26
• SERWTP: Changed new 8.0 MGD plant construction in FY 17 to new 6.0 MGD
plant construction in FY 22
The following changes were made to new potable water plant constructed capacity
schedule:
• SCRWTP: Changed 8.0 MGD expansion in FY 07 and 4.0 MGD in FY 08 to 12.0
MGD in FY 08 to match new SCRWTP wellfield delivery schedule
• NCRWTP: Changed 2.0 MGD high pressure RO expansion in FY 11 to FY 12 to
match the 2008 Water Master Plan
Concurrency Management — 2
• The LOSS at the North County Water Reclamation Facility (NCWRF) decreased from
145 gallons per capita per day (gpcd) in FY 07 to 120 gpcd in FY 08 in accordance
with the 2008 Wastewater Master Plan, approved by the BCC on June 24, 2008.
The LOSS change and projected decrease in population growth reported in the AUIR have
led to the existing wastewater treatment plants being able to maintain reliability longer
without plant expansions or new plant construction. The following changes were made to
match the June 11, 2008 population projections and resulting water demands:
• NCWRF: Deleted 6.5 MGD expansion in FY 15
• NEWRF: Changed 4.0 MGD plant construction in FY 15 to FY 18
• SEWRF: Changed 4.0 MGD plant construction in FY 17 to FY 18; Changed
2.0 MGD expansion in FY 22 to FY 24; Deleted 2.0 MGD expansion in FY 26
From the examples above, one can see how adjustments are made to LOSS based on changes in
population growth projections, compliance with updated public facility master plans or other factors
taken under consideration.
Each year the AUIR indicates whether level of service (LOS) deficiencies are projected in the County
during the next five -year planning period. Using the example of transportation planning, a
Deficiencies Report inventories the roadway links that are currently deficient or are projected to be
deficient under the concurrency system within the next five years and the programmed and proposed
solutions to solve these deficiencies. The data used to produce the Deficiencies Report accounts for
factors such as background traffic and vested trips, and whether roadways are located in Transportation
Concurrency Management Areas (TCMA) or Transportation Concurrency Exception Areas (TCEA).
For purposes of illustration, the Deficiencies Report from each of the three previous years' AUIR [in
^' both table and figure formats] is included with this evaluation.
Projects listed in the AUIR and the CIE Schedule are described in a manner that enables their location
in the County to be identified. For purposes of illustration, the CIE Schedule from each of the three
previous years' update and amendment is included with this evaluation.
The adopted AUIR appears as a Support Document listed by the Capital Improvement Element.
The BCC amended the CIE related to the October 2008 adoption of "Public School Facilities"
provisions into the Growth Management Plan. These changes require the County to adopt, by
reference, into its Capital Improvement Element, the School District's annually updated financially
feasible Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan and the District Facilities Work Program in order to
achieve and maintain the adopted level of service standards for Public School Facilities. The School
District Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan identifies the financially feasible school facility capacity
projects necessary to address existing deficiencies and future needs based on achieving and
maintaining adopted LOS standards for schools.
The CIE Schedule is supported by a projection of revenues and expenditures to demonstrate that
adequate funds are available, or would be available, in the respective identified funding sources to pay
for the improvements — and demonstrating the financial feasibility of the Schedule.
n The Financial Feasibility section of the Capital Improvement Element states [f]uture development will
bear a proportionate cost of facility improvements necessitated by growth. Future development's
payments may take the form of, but are not limited to, voluntary contributions for the benefit of any
public facility, impact fees, dedications of land, provision of public facilities, and future payments of
Concurrency Management — 3
user fees, special assessments and taxes. Based on prior direction from the County Manager's Office
and Board of County Commissioners' policy, updates to the CIE will be financially feasible
documents. n
In order to maintain financial feasibility the County draws upon revenues derived from numerous
sources, including impact fees, grants and reimbursements, developer contributions, gas taxes,
revenues carried forward from previous years, revenues transferred from other funds, revenue reserves,
bond proceeds, user fees, and CRA and MSTU revenues.
It should be noted that Collier County has provided the DCA with a financially feasible Capital
Improvement Element in each of its annual updates. Departure from the preparation of a financially
feasible CIE could result with major financial ramifications, and potentially place the County in a
position where it would have to abandon its five -year financially feasible CIE with the possibility of
forcing the County into long -term concurrency management. This would be contrary to existing BCC
policy direction.
Public participation meetings were held in early 2010 at different locations in the County. No public
comments were received related to concurrency management.
From all factors evaluated, staff can conclude that the concurrency management system has been
effective in achieving and maintaining the adopted level of service standards, ensuring that
infrastructure capacity is available when needed to support development and that development is
paying its fair share toward the cost of improvements.
An assessment regarding the manner preferred to deal with the duplicative appearances of, and
discrepancies among, levels of service standards now appearing in multiple County documents should
be carried out with the decision resulting in EAR -based amendments.

NOTE: Collier County has adopted a two-year Concurrency Management System.
Figures provided for years three, four and five of this Schedule of Capital
Improvements are not part of the Concurrency Management System but must be
financially feasible with a dedicated revenue source or an alternative revenue source if
the dedicated revenue source is not realized. Figures provided for years six through
ten of the Schedule of Capital Improvements are estimates of revenues versus project
costs but do not constitute a long term concurrency system.
NOTE: All Community Park Land and Regional Park Land transactions are being
facilitated through interdepartmental transfers exchanging land holdings for park
lands, or using another method not involving expenditure of capital funds. These
transactions represent changes to the value of land holdings only.

* Pursuant to the Landfill Operating Agreement (LOA) with Waste Management, Inc. of Florida
(WMIF), landfill cell construction is scheduled and guaranteed by WMIF over the life of the Collier
County Landfill. Collier County landfill expansion costs are paid for by WMIF through agreed upon
Collier County landfill tipping fees. By contract under the LOA, WMIF will construct any future
required cells. Landfill cells vary in size and disposal capacity; therefore cells constructed from FY 09
to FY 13 are substantial enouqh to not require new cell construction from FY 14 to FY 18.
NOTE: Collier County has adopted a two -year Concurrency Management System. Figures provided

Management System but must be financially feasible with a dedicated revenue source or an alternative

Urban Development Patterns
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
An evaluation of the objectives and policies of the GMP for their effect upon the pattern and timing of
urban development throughout the County.
ISSUE BACKGROUND
The Collier County GMP has two primary designations within the Future Land Use Map, Urban and
Rural /Agricultural. All land within the County geography will .fall within one of these categories. The
majority of coastal area west of County Road 951 and the entire Immokalee area, with the designation of
Urban on the Future Land Use Map, promotes a diversity of urban development and a wide variety of land
uses within these designated areas. The Rural /Agricultural designation does not prevent development, but
rather limits the array of land uses allowed within the designation. In addition to the limited array of land
uses outside of the urban designation, the GMP does provide for concentrated pockets of urbanization
through the development of towns and villages within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District and the Rural
Lands Stewardship Area. The towns and villages are designed to provide a range of land uses with options
within the range of housing types as well as mobility options. The future development of the towns and
villages within both of the districts is a primary strategy employed by the GMP to bring goods, services and
employment opportunities to the eastern portion of the County and end a reliance upon the Urban area to
the west for these commodities and the vehicles miles traveled and corresponding green house gas
emissions associated with the long commutes.
With the absence of a designated urban service or urban growth boundary, the Collier County Growth
Management Plan utilizes two primary controls to shape or influence the pattern of urban development,
capital expenditures and land -use controls. The capital expenditures contained with the Capital
Improvement Element of the GMP provides for the expansion and extension of transportation corridors,
public facilities and urban services and infrastructures which shape the land market. The Urban designated
area has been the location for the majority of the County's capital infrastructure expenditures, as evidence
by the infrastructure maps provided for at the end of this section. The Land Use controls established by the
GMP and implemented within the Land development Code shapes the arrangement of allowable and
prohibited land uses.
To evaluate the effectiveness of these controls, an assessment of the growth and development within the
individual planning communities provides an appropriate barometer. The urban planning communities are
North Naples, Central Naples, East Naples, South Naples Golden Gate, Marco, Urban Estates and
Immokalee. The rural planning communities are

Includes developed Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Institutional Use land, Government, Golf Courses and R -O -W, Utility, Outdoor Rec. land
etc
With the exception of Immokalee and the Marco planning communities, each urban planning community is at or .
past the sixty percent developed stage. The urbanized area with the existing infrastructure and services readily
available is where the County has anticipated the majority of development to locate. As the County transitions
into the next decade of growth and development, it is expected that this pattern will continue as each of the
urban planning communities begin to approach build -out. In addition to the expected growth within the urban
planning communities, the one rural planning community which has experienced considerable growth within the
EAR evaluation period is the rural estates. The rural estates within the EAR evaluation period has seen a thirty-
six percent increase in developed acres. The magnitude of this growth, while not unexpected due to the pre -
platted nature of the planning community, has placed pressure upon the transportation system due to the limited
land uses allowed for within the planning community. Whether this pattern of development in the rural estates
continues over the next seven years is contingent upon the supply and demand balance of available units and
their pricing points in the Urban area. Whatever the future rate of growth is moving forward, general accepted
planning principals recognizes the need to bring a diversity of land uses to the area. The private marketplace
and County government has responded to this pressure with the adoption of the Randal Boulevard Commercial
Subdistrict to the Future Land Use Map in July of 2010, specifically to bring the goods and services required by
the estates residents in closer proximity to the communities dwelling units. Services and employment
opportunities continue to develop in neighboring sub - districts to the rural estates, as well as request to bring
these opportunities interior to the rural estates.
The following maps will illustrate the location existing population, vacant and undeveloped land for the County
as well as the location of the public facilities and infrastructure currently available.

Urban Developmeni Pattern
Comprehensive Plan Implementation
The Collier Growth Management Plan contains specified policies, such as Policy 5.3 and Policy 5.6 of the
Future Land Use Element, which promote development within the urban designated areas. The GIP has
not designated an Urban Growth Boundary, but rather utilizes land use control and public expenditures as
the means to influence the County's development patterns. Additionally, the Future Land Use Map
(following page) has designated the western portion of the County as the Urban Mixed Use District, where
urban development and intensities are permitted and promoted. It should be noted from review of the
Future Land Use Map that 67 percent of the County's land area is designated as Conservation, owned
primarily by the State or the Federal government and therefore restricted from development. The area
between the Federal and State owned conservation land in the eastern portion of the County and the
urbanized area of the County to the west has been addressed with progressive planning strategies to balance
the property rights of the individual land owners and the sensitivity of the systems which depend upon the
area. The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District and the Rural Lands Stewardship Area are both examples of
land use regulations that were designed specifically to address urban sprawl and inefficiencies within the
potential pattern of development within the County. These Districts which were implemented at the time of
the County's last EAR and have resulted in approximately 59,571 acres to be set aside from development,
with 5,027 acres dedicated to compact urban development. Based upon this assessment, the current
strategy to influence the urban development pattern is being adequately addressed by the County.

As noted, the Urban Development .Pattern has a direct bearing upon the infrastructure and services provided by
the County and the cost of providing that infrastructure and services. As development moves further away from
existing development a percentage of the cost of extending that infrastructure falls upon the County.
Understanding this cost ramifications, the FLUE is designed to provide incentives (nigher density, wider
arrangement of land uses, lower infrastructure development cost) to the development community to promote
utilize existing urban designated land before .Agricultural /Rural designated land. The regulatory allowances for
the Rural .Fringe Mixed Use District (RFNIUD) and the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) District both
have provision within the District's that require that the urban development (the villages and towns) allowed for
in the District are required to establish fiscal neutrality to the County in regards to provision of services against
impact fees generated and property tax collected.
In addition to economic impact associated with the County's Urban Development Pattern, social and
environmental impacts are related to the County's development pattern. As noted above, as development moves
outward and consumes more undeveloped land, the natural environmental systems are impacted, from natural
habitat for listed species to flood plain management, to water quality, to a number of natural systems; the
presence of urbanized development has the potential to disrupt natural systems. It was based upon this
recognition that the County in 2003 and 2004 adopted the RLSA and the RFMUD to better manage the
development patterns within the areas of the County outside of the Urbanized designated area and adjacent to
federally and state protected conservation lands. Again, it cannot be understated that 67 percent of all land area
within Collier County is protected from urban development. The RLSA and the RFMUD, the areas that buffer
these conservation lands were design to attain the appropriate balance between environmental protection,
agricultural protection and property rights. The programs are both design to preserve a much greater area than
they entitle and require the concentration of development to occupy a much reduced foot print of impact within
these Districts and further ensure a greater degree of protection to the natural systems.
In regard to social impact, Urban Development Patterns have the potential to create unintended consequences to
a Community and its sense of place. Increased accessibility tends to increase overall economic
opportunity and productivity, providing for increased social equity. Workers have a larger pool of
potential jobs; employers have a larger pool of potential workers; there are more education options;
professionals have more opportunities to share information; businesses have more potential customers;
and increased competition forces businesses to improve service quality. Increased accessibility tends to
reduce transportation costs to individual consumers, businesses and regional economies, providing
economic development benefits.

Urban Development Pattern
As noted, urban environments tend to reduce per capita motor vehicle use and .increase non - motorized
travel (see graph on previous page). These travel impacts provide a variety of economic, social and
environmental benefits, including reductions in total transportation costs, per capita traffic accidents,
energy consumption and pollution emissions, and increases physical fitness and public health. Urban •
environments designed for walking and social interactions also tend to increase the quality of
relationships among people in a community, as indicated by increased opportunities of positive
interactions, the number of neighborhood interactions, and their sense of community connections,
particularly among people of different economic classes and social conditions. As a result, urban
environments are more equitable than automobile - dependent suburban and rural land use patterns that
isolate non - drivers and increase transportation costs.
In addition to the adoption of the RLSA and the RF'MUD Overlays, the OMP in the Urbanized Area,
through numerous policies, promotes the mixing of land uses and bringing goods and services within
close proximity to residential units. The primary intent of the existing Mixed Use activity Centers
(map provided on the following page) is to concentrate the most intense land uses at the confluence of
major roadways and bring goods and services to closer proximity to surrounding residential units.

Additionally, the Activity Venters are designed by policy to promote a mix of residential and
commercial uses within the same project. While the private development community has not
responded to the regulatory allowances for mixed use or neo- traditional development in the majority of
the Activity Centers, Activity Center dumber Five in 2005 through Ordinance 05 -58 provided for the
development of the "Mercato ". The development is a true mimed use project on 53 acres with 175
multifamily units and 470,000 square feet of commercial development. The same year the Town of
Ave Maria was approved on 5,027 acres with 1,343,500 square feet of commercial and 11,000
residential units, with a portion of each contained within neo - traditional mixed use development. In
addition to these traditional mixed use developments, the FLUE contains provisions for Planned Unit
Developments to provide for commercial opportunities to service the basic needs of the residential
units the PUD provide.
Conclusion
It should be noted that during this EAR evaluation, the Objectives and Policies to promote infill and
redevelopment in the Urban Designated area of the County have been analyzed for their effectiveness
in promoting infill and redevelopment, not only to address the issues described within the Urban
Development major issue, but also address climate change, green house gas emission and
maximization of existing infrastructure, which results in a corresponding maximization of public
expenditure.

Intergovernmental Coordination
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
An evaluation of the objectives and policies of the G.MP for their assessment on the coordination
between Collier County and the surrounding local governments. Specifically, the assessment of
the effectiveness in coordinating the planning and provision of potable water.
ISSUE BACKGROUND
The Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) is the portion of the Collier County Growth
Management Plan (GMP) that contains the County's Goal, Objectives and Policies with regard to
relations between the County and non - County governmental entities (as well as quasi -
governmental entities, including utility companies). Coordination between the Collier County;
the South Florida Water Management District; and various private utilities in regard to the
planning and provision of potable water is of outmost importance in meeting future potable water
demands in a sustainable manner.
Collier County is served by four Public Sector Water Systems, including the County, the City of
Naples, Everglades City, and the City of Marco Island. The County is further subdivided into the
Collier County Water -Sewer District (CCWSD) and the Goodland Water Sub- District.
In addition to the Public Sector Water Systems, Collier County is served by four Non - Public
• Sector Water Systems including the Immokalee Water and Sewer District (IWSD), the .Florida
Governmental Utility Authority (Golden Gate) (FGUA), the Orange Tree Utility Company
(OTUC), and the Ave Maria Utility Company (AMUC). There are also two Private Sector Water
Systems which include the Lee Cypress Water and Sewer Co -Op, Inc. and the Port of the .Islands
Community Improvement District, along with numerous small capacity water systems that are
regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP).
•
In anticipation of the rapid population growth and increasing water demands facing the State,
and the potential threats to both the economy and natural resources, the Legislature amended the
Florida Water Resources Act (Chapter 373, F.S.) in 1997. The amendment required the five
water management districts to initiate regional water supply planning in all areas of the State
where reasonable anticipated sources of water were deemed inadequate to meet year 2020
projected demands.
The purpose of water supply planning is to develop strategies to meet future water demands of
urban and agricultural uses, while taking into consideration impacts on natural resources and the
environment. This process identifies areas where historically used sources of water potentially
will not be adequate to meet future demands, and evaluates several water source options to meet
the potential shortfall. As mandated by Florida water law, each regional water supply plan is
based on at least a 20 -year future planning horizon, and a complete update of each plan is
required every five years.

Intergovernmental Coordination
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has developed a long -term
comprehensive regional water supply plan update for its planning area. Collier County is within
the Lower West Coast Water Supply .Plan. Previous water supply plans for the Lower West
Coast were completed in February 1994 (planning .horizon 2010) and April 2000 (planning
horizon 2020), which the County utilized to develop its 2002 Water Master Plan Update. The
most recent water supply plan update is the 2005 -2006 Lower West Coast Plan Update that has a
planning horizon of 2025.
In 2002 the Legislature expanded the local government comprehensive plan requirements,
known as Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes, to strengthen coordination of water supply
planning and local land use planning. One of the most significant requirements was a Ten -Year
Water Supply Facilities Work Plan in order to project the local government's needs for at least a
10 -year period, identify and prioritize the water supply facilities and sources of water that will be
needed to meet those needs, and include in the local government's Five -Year Schedule of Capital
Improvements the capital improvements identified as needed for the first five years. Until the
adoption of the County's 10 -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan, the County's Water
Master Plan was considered the County's official plan for water capital improvements and the
basis for the 5 -year Capital Improvement Schedule contained in the Capital Improvement
Element.

On February 25, 2003 the Board of County Commissioners adopted an update to the County's
2001 Water Master Plan, to provide an integrated approach for meeting the projected water
system demands up to the year 2022. The "2002 Water Master Plan Update" provided for
comprehensive overview of the entire water system, including emergency systems, water
demand projections and demands and proposed conservation and reclaimed water projects, and
provided a plan for future water supply and infrastructure needs to meet the requirements of
growth, infrastructure renewal, replacement and enhancement over a course of five years. This
plan utilized population projections prepared by the Collier County Comprehensive Planning
Department that were approved at that time by the Florida Department of Community Affairs
(DCA) and accepted by the SFWMD. Water demands were provided at five -year increments to
be consistent with the 2000 Lower West Coast Regional Water Supply Plan. The 2002 Water
Master Plan Update formed the foundation for the proposed County's Ten -Year Water Supplies
Facilities Work Plan.
During the State of Florida's 2005 legislative session, lawmakers revised state water law to
include a new statutory provision. Local governments within the Lower West Coast Planning
Area are required to prepare a Ten -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan that identifies water
supply projects, and adopt revisions to comprehensive plans within 18 months following the
approval of the 2005 -2006 Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan Update.
On January 25, 2007, as part of the 2004 EAR -based amendments, and in preparation of the
anticipated Ten -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan, Collier County adopted language to
coordinate water supply planning with SFWMD. Modifications of various Goals, Objectives and
Policies (GOPs), as required by these legislative actions, were addressed through the GMP
aimendiiicA to the Potable vvlater Sub -E lement, %_'onservation anu Coastal Management Element
and the Intergovernmental Coordination Element. The amendments referenced the 2002 Water
Master Plan Update and any subsequent updates as the appropriate document for the County's
water supply planning. The SFWMD's Governing Board approved the 2005 -2006 Lower West
Coast Water Supply Plan Update on July 12, 2006. Therefore, Collier County had to adopt GMP
text amendments that references a Ten -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan by January 1.2,
2008 (or 1.8 months after the District Governing Board approved each regional water supply
plan) [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.].
Collier County adopted its 10 -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan on February 24, 2009, by
Ordinance No. 09 -04 (DCA 09- RWSP). The adopted plan, and any subsequent updates, has
become the County's appropriate document for water supply planning.
Policy 1.7 of the Potable Water Sub - Element was specifically amended to incorporate by
reference the adopted 10 -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan. Furthermore, the Potable
Water Sub - Element (PWSE) of the Collier County's GMP requires coordination with the
SFWMD's Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan. Specifically, Objective 1 of the PWSE states:
"The County shall locate and develop potable water supply sources to meet the future needs of
the County owned and operated systems, said supply sources meeting the minimum Level of
Service Standards established by this Plan. The development and utilization of new potable
n water supply sources and the acquisition of land necessary for such development shall be based
upon the information, guidelines and procedures identified within the County's Ten -Year Water
3
Intergovernmental Coordination
Updated for December 2010 CCPC Adoption Consideration
Supply Facilities Work Plan (as updated annually), the Collier County Water -Sewer Master
Plan, and the Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan prepared by the South Florida Water
Management District. "
In addition, Policies 1.4; 1.5; 1.6; and 1.7 of the PWSE specifically require coordination with
SFWMD's Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan.
In regard to the County's coordination with other public and private utilities, Policy 3.3 of the
Potable Water Sub - Element states that "The Level of Service Standards contained in Policy 3.1
are the minimum criteria for replacement, expansion or increase in capacity of potable water
supply facilities. " Further Objective 3 states, "Pursuant to Chapter 163.3202, F.S., including
any amendments thereto, Collier County has implemented procedures to ensure that at the time a
development order is issued, potable water facility capacity that meets or exceeds the minimum
Level of Service Standards established herein is available or will be available to serve the
development under the guidelines established for concurrency in the Capital Improvement
Element of this Plan. " Also, Policy 1.4 of the ICE states that _tlie County will coordinate its
adopted level of service standard within the parameters allowed by the Concurrency
Management System of the Capital Improvement Element of this Plan. In this regard, Collier
County coordinated with other utilities as part of the 10 -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan
process. By selecting LOSS greater than the LOSS identified in Policy 3. 1, FGUA and IWSD are
guaranteeing that they will meet Objective 3 when development orders are brought forward in
their service areas. The 60 gpcd LOSS selected by OTUC reflects the fact the utility only
provides for the potable water needs of its customers. Irrigation needs are met via individual
wells and community irrigation systems that are supplied by on -site lakes. In the adopted 10-
Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan, the LOSS for determining future demand for OTUC
was taken as 100 gpcd.
An important aspect of the 10 -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan amendment process is the
fact that Collier County strives in coordinating with all pertinent utilities. However, the County
does not have the authority to force private and investor owned utilities to adopt the LOSS in
Policy 3.1. Rather the LOSS are a guide by which Collier County can determine the concurrency
of future development proposed in the service area of each utility. Therefore, no plan
amendments that would require private and investor owned utilities to adopt the LOSS in Policy
3.1 are anticipated as part of the EAR based amendments. Nevertheless, and as stated in the
above referenced policies, Collier County intends to continue to maintain coordination with the
various private utilities that serve the unincorporated areas of the County to the greatest extent
possible while taking into consideration the limitations of the County's regulatory authority
allowed with respect to these utilities.
The County's 10 -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan includes the list of water supply
facilities and all of the alternative water supply projects that it has developed since the early
1990's and plans to continue to develop over the next 10 years. The 10 -Year Water Supply
Facilities Work Plan contains data that show the sheer volume of water that is generated by
alternative water supply projects as compared to traditional freshwater projects. As noted in the
10 -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan, the County is capable of delivering up to 68.1 MGD
of alternative water supply to its customers compared to only 24 MGD from traditional water
supplies. Based on the projects identified in the adopted 10 -Year Water Supply Facilities Work

Plan, by 2018, Collier County projects to generate a ratio of 84.35 MGD of alternative water
i supply and only 25.25 MGD from traditional sources.
/1--,\
The County' strives to use alternative water sources whenever feasible, and is proud to be one of
the leading County public utilities that have adopted alternative water supplies as a way of life
and is considered a leader in alternative water supplies in the State of Florida.
Comprehensive Plan Implementation
The Collier County Growth Management Plan contains policies that require the coordination
between the Collier County; the South Florida Water Management District; and all private held
or investor owned utilities, as well as the need of a water supply plan that specifies strategies to
meet future water demands of urban and agricultural uses, while taking into consideration
impacts on natural resources and the environment. In addition the GMP contains policies that
require all pertaining utilities to be consistent with the level of service standards (LOSS) that are
identified in the County's CIE
