EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to obtain Board direction regarding the initiation of the Golden Gate
Area Master Plan (GGAMP) Restudy process and the funding required for the project
including any necessary budget amendments.
OBJECTIVE: To establish the platform, pursuant to direction given at the September 28,2010
BCC meeting, for the BCC to provide direction to staff regarding the initiation of the restudy of
the Golden Gate Area Master Plan.
CONSIDERATIONS: The ten year anniversary of the seating of the GGAMP Restudy
Committee will be reached in June of2011. This fact combined with the number of successful
and unsuccessful Growth Management Plan (GMP) amendments affecting the GGAMP which
have sought to alter the existing plan, would suggest that the time to initiate the public planning
process is ripe. Additionally, within the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR), which will be
presented to the BCC on January 31, 2011, the conclusion is reached that a number of policies
within the GGAMP need revisions, but the specifics of the revisions requires direct input from
the area's residents. The improvements identified within the EAR are dependent upon the
Restudy process. Attached to this executive summary (Exhibit "A") is an October 6, 2010
memorandum generated by the Growth Management Division Deputy Administrator that
highlight the potential time line and identifies the need for budget allocation for the project.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Restudy process is estimated to cost $163,000 dollars and no
appropriation is budgeted for FYl1. Should the Board approve this study, a budget amendment
will be necessary moving dollars from 111 reserves in the amount of$163,000.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMP ACT: The amendments arrived upon through the Restudy
process will serve as the EAR based amendments to the GGAMP and will certainly impact not
only the Golden Gate Master Plan Area, but potentially could impact surrounding Future Land
Use Element Subdistricts and GMP Elements. Additionally, the improvements designated by the
2011 EAR related to the GGAMP will have to be transmitted and adopted by the BCC to attain
full regulatory compliance.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS:
This item raises no legal issues, and requires simple majority vote for Board action. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners:
L Provide direction regarding the initiation of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy
Project.
2. Approve all necessary budget amendments setting up a budget appropriation if the
restudy is to proceed.

Tentative Schedule of Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy
Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudv - Potential TimeLine
The Board of County Commissioners first appointed the Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy Committee in June
of2001. The results of the effort lead to Growth Management Plan amendments adopted in 2003 and 2004 relating
to the conclusion of the public planning process. The ten year anniversary of the seating of the Restudy Committee
will be reached in June of 2011 and based upon this, as well the number of successful and unsuccessful Growth
Management Plan amendments affecting the GGAMP that have sought to alter the existing plan, we would suggest
that the time to initiate the public planning process is ripe. Below is a conceptual framework for the time associated
with the process, as well a generalized cost estimate. Due to staff reductions, this may be an appropriate outsourcing
opportunity for a singular project.

.
It \vould be expected that the initial public pa...-ticipation phase of the process would last over
a 12 month period, with monthly meetings during that time period. It must be recognized that
within the Golden Gate Area Master Plan that a number of unique geographic areas are
contained: the Rural Estates, the Urban Estates and Golden Gate City. Each of these
designations has their own unique circumstances which will require specific targeted
meetings with property owners to address the issues unique to that sub-area. Due to this, 12
months would be the minimal time required to satisfy the planning process, and more than
likely to arrive upon a consensus additional time will be required. Additionally, what
complicates the task are the current staffing levels of Comprehensive Planning. Currently
there are two full time principal planners, one planner and one principal planner who devotes
half their time to Comprehensive Planning and the other half to Zoning.
Realistic estimation is 28 to 36 months from initiation to completion. Minimum of 12
months for public participation process and a minimum of 12 months for the GMP
amendment process.
One FIE at the Principal Planner level, dedicating at least 50 percent of their time to the
Restudy process over the two to three year period. An alternative preferred recommendation
would include a part time job bariker or outside contractor.
One internal FTE or outsourced contract individual having a fully burdened annual personal
cost of at least $100,000
Advertising for 12 public meetings minimum of$15,600
Recording services for Public meetings minimum of $8,400
GMP-Amendment application and advertising cost $39,000
Total cost estimates minimum of $163,000

STAFF AND COMMISSION GENERAL
COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Yes, thank you, sir.
Nick, would you come up for a moment, please. I'd like to
talk about several issues, and one of them's the Golden Gate
Master Plan. We did the major overhaul back in 01/02, if I'm not
mistaken, Nick?
MR. CASALANGUIDA: That's correct.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: It's going to be coming up
to the point where pretty soon we're going to have to be
concerned about putting it back on the schedule. And what I'd
like to do is have -- direct Nick to be able to come back with
when this should take place, how it would fit into it -- what the
implications of what it would be as far as budget cost, what years
should it hit, and just be able to give us a brief report so that we
can give further direction from there. '
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: It's one of those things that
has to be -- that has to be done. '''Ie have some major difference
of opinion throughout parts of the Estates now.
The referendum that's on the ballot will help to some degree
to settle one little part of the whole equation; however, with that
said, I'd like to be able to get this out to the community in a
meaningful way and be able to start planning when this process is
going to take place, at what point in time.

1/25/2011 Item 10.A.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: I guess I don't understand what
you really want us to do.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Well, I would like to have
Nick come back to us and tell us about the Golden Gate Master
Plan as far as when it would -- when it would be a ten-year
anniversary for it, for the maj or overhaul that we did, so that we
can start looking to the future for a future budget for planning it in
and giving thoughts to it, just to be able to give us a brief report
on it so when Vie start to move the issue fOf'Nard -- at least in. our
minds as we start to move through it. And you've got to take the
fIrst step. You can't drop the whole thing on the community at
one point. And we still have enough time to be able to plan it out
effectively when it would have to bit to be able to plan it.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: You're asking for a schedule
essentially?
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: More or less. To be able to
come up with a schedule that will give us some guidance.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Can't he do that in writing? Can't
you provide us a memo outlining the schedule for that --
MR. CASALANGUIDA: Sure.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: -- so that we all understand it
without --
MR. CASALANGUIDA: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: -- without having to schedule a
presentation of any l<ind?
MR. CASALANGUIDA: Yes, sir, I can.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Because you only have 15 minutes
-- we only have 15 minutes now to --
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: I know. It's not going to
take long. No, I didn't want him to give us a presentation now,

but that will be of no value if we haven't got the ability to discuss
it before this commission.
l\1R. CASALANGUIDA: For a little clarification on what
the commissioner asked, you have a Comprehensive Plan. It's
evaluated every five years as part of your EAR. Your Golden
Gate Area Master Plan is a subset of that or part of the Compo
Plan. It hasn't been done in ten years. And he said, you know,
what's a reasonable amount of time to have a specific section of
your Compo Plan looked at. I said, ten years is usually a good
amount of time. It's done as part of your EAR but not set up with
a subcommittee to look at a specific area.
So I said, I could certainly look at that and look at what a
typical time frame would be, the cost, the schedule it would be in,
and report back to the full board and let you know what impact it
would have to the staft:
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: And we'd be looking at a
presentation that would probably be way less than ten minutes.
l\1R. CASALANGUIDA: Do it in a memorandum and, you
know~ simple discussion item just to give you an idea. I don't
think it needs to be full presentation.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: It's very important to the
people that I represent that we get this into discussion.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: And now, stay right there,
Nick, for just a minute.
