Agenda 02/26/2019 Item # 9A02/26/2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve by Ordinance petition PL20160002584/CPSS-2017-1, a Growth Management Plan Small Scale Amendment specific to the Conditional Uses Subdistrict of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan, to allow church uses for the Grace Romanian Baptist Church. (Adoption Hearing) (This is a Companion to Agenda Item 8.A) OBJECTIVE: For the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) to approve (adopt) the proposed small- scale Growth Management Plan (GMP) amendment and approve the amendment for transmittal to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. CONSIDERATIONS: The subject petition is submitted as a small-scale comprehensive plan amendment (a/k/a GMP amendment - GMPA). As such, per Florida Statutes, the request is heard once only by the Collier County Planning Commission and the BCC. If approved by the BCC, the petition is transmitted to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO). The GMP amendment requested is for approximately 6.25 acres located at the sout heast corner of the intersection of Golden Gate and Collier Boulevards, in Section 11, Township 49 South, Range 26 East. (Urban Estates Planning Community). This petition seeks to amend the GMP, adopted by Ordinance No. 89-05, as amended, specifically amending the Golden Gate Area Master Plan and Golden Gate Area Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Series by: Adding text to establish a new area in the Conditional Uses Subdistrict, within the Estates Designation, Mixed-Use District, to add the subject site as an exception for a church or place of worship. And, creating a new location for the Conditional Uses Subdistrict, Special Exceptions to Conditional Use Locational Criteria map for inclusion in the FLUM series. The proposed amended Subdistrict text, as recommended by the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC), is depicted in Ordinance Exhibit “A.” The process for adoption of a small-scale comprehensive plan amendment requires (in part) the following statutory standards be met [followed by staff analysis in bracketed and italicized text]. (1) A small-scale development amendment may be adopted under the following conditions: (a) The proposed amendment involves a use of 10 acres or fewer. [The proposed amendment pertains to a 6.25-acre property.] (b) The cumulative annual effect of the acreage for all small -scale development amendments adopted by the local government does not exceed a maximum of 120 acres in a calendar year. [Thus far, three small scale GMP amendments have been adopted in calendar year 2018 for a total of +17.48 acres (5.35 + 5.8 + 6.33).] (c) The proposed amendment does not involve a text change to the goals, policies, and objectives of the local government’s comprehensive plan, but only proposes a land use change to the future land use map for a site-specific small-scale development activity. However, text changes that relate directly to, and are adopted simultaneously with, the small -scale future land use map amendment shall be permissible under this section. [This amendment is for a site-specific Future Land Use Map change and directly related text changes.] (d) The property that is the subject of the proposed amendment is not located within an area of critical state concern, unless the project subject to the proposed amendment involves the construction of affordable housing units meeting the criteria of s. 420.0004(3), and is located within an area of critical state concern designated by s. 380.0552 or by the Administration 9.A Packet Pg. 111 02/26/2019 Commission pursuant to s. 380.05(1). [The subject property is not within an Area of Critical State Concern.] (4) Comprehensive plans may only be amended in such a way as to preserve the internal consistency of the plan pursuant to s. 163.3177. [Internal consistency will be maintained between and among elements if the amendment is approved.] Based on the review of this small-scale GMP amendment petition, including the supporting data and analysis, staff makes the following findings and conclusions: • There are no adverse environmental impacts as a result of this petition. • No historic or archaeological sites are affected by this amendment. • The proposed church use is compatible with the surrounding area based upon a macro view (Zoning Services Section staff conduct a more detailed compatibility review as part of their review of the conditional use petition where considerations include building height and setbacks, landscape buffers and open space, surrounding land uses, etc. • There are no infrastructure related concerns regarding impacts upon adopted level of service standards. • On July 19, 2018, the CCPC recommended that the BCC approve the transmittal of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) Re-study-based GMP amendments at their upcoming scheduled public hearing on September 25, 2018. Those amendments include an allowance for Estates zoning district conditional uses at major intersections, such as Collier Boulevard and Golden Gate Boulevard, but limits the project size to 5 acres. • In staff’s opinion, if this petition is approved it will increase the likelihood of a similar petition (to allow an Estates zoning district CU, conditional use) being submitted for the property across Golden Gate Blvd. at the northeast corner of Golden Gate Blvd. and Collier Blvd. • Staff finds that the data and analysis submitted by the petitioner demonstrates a need for the proposed amendment and that this is an appropriate location to fulfill that need. The data and analysis provided for the amendment supports the proposed changes to the GGAMP. The complete staff analysis of this petition is provided in the CCPC Staff Report. FISCAL IMPACT: The cost to process, review and advertise this petition was borne by the petitioner via application and advertisement fees. Therefore, there are no fiscal impacts to Collier County as a result of the adoption of this amendment. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Adoption of the proposed amendment by the Board for transmittal to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) will commence the thirty-day (30) challenge period for any affected person. Provided the small-scale development amendment is not challenged, it shall become effective thirty-one (31) days after receipt by DEO. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This Growth Management Plan (GMP) amendment is authorized by, and subject to the procedures established in, Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, The Community Planning Act, and by Collier County Resolution No. 12-234, as amended. The Board should consider the following criteria in making its decision: “plan amendments shall be based on relevant and appropriate data and an analysis by the local government that may include but not be limited to, surveys, studies, community goals and vision, and other data available at the time of adoption of the plan amendment. To be based on data means to react to it in an appropriate way and to the extent necessary indicated by the data available on that particular subject at the time of adoption of the plan or plan amendment at issue.” Section 163.3177(1)(f), FS. In addition, Section 163.3177(6)(a)2, FS provides that GGAMP plan amendments shall be based on surveys, studies and data regarding the area, as applicable including: a. The amount of land required to accommodate anticipated growth. b. The projected permanent and seasonal population of the area. c. The character of undeveloped land. d. The availability of water supplies, public facilities, and services. 9.A Packet Pg. 112 02/26/2019 e. The need for redevelopment, including the renewal of blighted areas and the elimination of non-conforming uses which are inconsistent with the character of the community. f. The compatibility of uses on lands adjacent to or closely proximate to military installations. g. The compatibility of uses on lands adjacent to an airport as defined in s. 330.35 and consistent with s. 333.02. h. The need to modify land uses and development patterns with antiquated subdivisions. i. The discouragement of urban sprawl. j. The need for job creation, capital investment and economic development that will strengthen and diversify the community’s economy. And FLUE map amendments shall also be based upon the following analysis per Section 163.3177(6)(a)8.: a. An analysis of the availability of facilities and services. b. An analysis of the suitability of the plan amendment for its proposed use considering the character of the undeveloped land, soils, topography, natural resources, and historic resources on site. c. An analysis of the minimum amount of land needed to achieve the goals and requirements of this section. This item is approved as to form and legality. It requires a super-majority vote for approval because this is an adoption hearing. [HFAC] STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO THE COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION: That the CCPC forward petition PL20160002584/CP-2017-1 to the Board with a recommendation of approval. COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION (CCPC) RECOMMENDATION: The CCPC continued this petition indefinitely at their meeting on May 3, 2018 due to changes the applicant proposed to the project and presented at the meeting. The applicant held a second Neighborhood Information Meeting (NIM) on June 25, 2018. On September 20, 2018, the CCPC held a public hearing and voted 5-1 (Mr. Strain against) to forward the petition to the Board with a recommenda tion to adopt and transmit to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. On November 13, 2018, the BCC held a public hearing and as a final decision voted unanimously to send both the GMPA and the CU petitions back to the CCPC for further discussion and to consider possible additional conditions on the CU. The CCPC held a public hearing on January 17, 2019 and did approve the additional conditions to the CU petition proposed by applicant. The CCPC did not take a second vote on the GMPA petition. A total of seventeen emails (including multiple emails from several individuals) were received opposing the project, since the BCC met in November. There were four public speakers at the January 17, 2019 CCPC meeting, all of which expressed opposition to the GMPA and CU petitions and concerns that included: traffic impacts, environmental impacts, and impacts upon residents’ quality of life. STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS: To adopt the Ordinance and transmit petition PL20160002584/CPSS-2017-1 to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity per the CCPC recommendation.

Conditional use permits for the purpose of extending the time period for use of the structure as a model home shall be required, and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.04.04B. and C. of the Collier County Land Development Code, Ordinance No. 04-41, as amended. Such conditional uses shall not be subject to the locational criteria of the Conditional Uses Subdistrict, and may be allowed anywhere within the Estates-Mixed Use District. 2. Conditional Use permits for excavation, as provided for in the Estates zoning district, are not subject to the locational criteria for Conditional Uses and may be allowed anywhere within the Estates-Mixed Use District. 3. Conditional Use for a church or place of worship, as provided for in the Estates zoning district, is allowed on Tract 22, Golden Gate Estates, Unit 97. 4. Conditional Use for a church or place of worship as allowed in the Estates Zoning District is allowed on the north 180 feet of Tract 107, Unit 30, Golden Gate Estates. Church-related day care use shall not be allowed. Development shall be limited to a maximum of 12,000 square feet of floor area. 5. Conditional Use for a church or place of worship, as provided for in the Estates Zoning District, is allowed on Tract 16 and the west half of Tract 15, Golden Gate Estates, Unit 4 (see map titled Conditional Uses Subdistrict: Collier Boulevard Special Provisions). PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: The purpose of this Growth Management Plan Amendment is to create text and a map for an additional location under the Special Exceptions to Conditional Use Locational Criteria in the Conditional Uses Subdistrict of the Estates designation in the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP). The Conditional Uses Subdistrict is scattered about different locations throughout the 9.A.1 Packet Pg. 118 Attachment: CCPC Adoption Staff Report CPSS-17-1 (7812 : Grace Romanian Church (GMPA)) Zoning Division ● 2800 North Horseshoe Drive ● Naples, FL 34104 ● 239-252-2400 Page 4 of 11 Estates Mixed Use District. The acreage for the Special Exceptions to Conditional Use Locational Criteria Subdistrict will increase by the amount (±6.25-acres) of this additional location. The GGAMP amendment is necessary in order to allow a church/place of worship use at this location in the Estates designation. A new map will be created of the Conditional Uses Subdistrict, Special Exceptions to Conditional Use Locational Criteria and included in the Future Land Use Map Series of the GGAMP. SURROUNDING LAND USE, ZONING AND FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION: Subject Property: The +6.25-acre subject site is zoned Estates Zoning District allowing uses of low density residential development (1 DU per 2.25 acres or per legal non-conforming lot) with limited agricultural activities; the Estates district is also designed to accommodate conditional uses, development that provides services for and is compatible with the low density residential, subject to locational criteria in the GGAMP. The Land Development Code lists churches as permissible as a Conditional Use for the Estates Zoning District. The Future Land Use designation of Estates is characterized by low density semi-rural residential lots with limited opportunities for other land uses. Generally, the Estates Designation also accommodates future non-residential uses including conditional uses and essential services, (except as prohibited in the Neighborhood Center Subdistrict). Parks, group housing, schools, family care facilities, care units, and nursing homes are permitted uses. Estates zoning district conditional uses are subject to locational criteria as contained in the Conditional Uses Subdistrict. Surrounding Land Uses: North: Immediately adjacent to the north (across Golden Gate Blvd) are a mix of residential single-family units and a couple of undeveloped lots; this area is zoned Estates and designated Estates, Mixed Use District, Residential Estates Subdistrict. There is also a utility property fronting on the east side of Collier Blvd. owned by FPL approximately 1,000 feet north of the subject property. Further to the north, up to Vanderbilt Beach Road, are more residential single-family units and a few undeveloped lots, which are zoned Estates and designated Estates, Mixed Use District, Residential Estates Subdistrict. South: Immediately adjacent to the south lies 1st Ave. SW and beyond are residential single- family units and a few undeveloped lots; this area is zoned Estates and designated Estates, Mixed Use District, Residential Estates Subdistrict. Across Collier Blvd. (CR951) on the west side of the road, and approximately ½ mile south of the subject site there are two places of worship: Iglesia Cristiana La Roca (Rock Christian Church) and the Haitian Bethesda Baptist Church. Further south on the east side of Collier Blvd. at 15th Ave. SW, there are two other places of worship: Bethel Christian Church and Unity Faith Missionary Baptist. There is a commercial planned unit development (Brooks Village) approximately 1 mile south of the subject site on the west side of Collier Blvd. and on the south side of Pine Ridge Road; this area is zoned Commercial Planned Unit Development (CPUD) and designated Estates, Mixed Use District, Neighborhood Center Subdistrict. There are also 2 parcels zoned C-3 Zoning District and designated Estates, Mixed Use District, Neighborhood Center Subdistrict on the west side of Collier Blvd. on the north side of Pine Ridge Road. 9.A.1 Packet Pg. 119 Attachment: CCPC Adoption Staff Report CPSS-17-1 (7812 : Grace Romanian Church (GMPA)) Zoning Division ● 2800 North Horseshoe Drive ● Naples, FL 34104 ● 239-252-2400 Page 5 of 11 West: Immediately adjacent to the west (across Collier Blvd.) are residential single-family units and undeveloped lots, zoned Estates and designated Estates, Mixed Use District, Residential Estates Subdistrict. Directly across from the northern parcel of the subject site on the west side of Collier Blvd. (CR951) are two County owned parcels with a water retention pond. These two parcels make up the northwest and southwest quadrants of the intersection of Collier Blvd. and Golden Gate Blvd. Further to the west are additional residential single-family units and a few zoned Estates, and designated Estates, Mixed Use District, Residential Estates Subdistrict. There is also a property with agricultural uses on Mahogany Ridge Road approximately 1 mile to the west of the subject site. East: Immediately adjacent to the east lies one single family residence abutting the subject site (in the NW corner of Weber Blvd. and 1st Ave. SW), and Weber Blvd., a local road that runs north/south (parallel with Collier Blvd.); Weber Blvd. serves as a collector for four local streets north of Golden Gate Blvd. and four local streets south of Golden Gate Blvd. To the east of Weber Blvd. are residential single-family units and a couple of undeveloped lots; this area is zoned Estates and designated Estates, Mixed Use District, Residential Estates Subdistrict. Approximately 1/2 mile to 3/4 mile east from the subject site and fronting on Golden Gate Blvd., there are two places of worship: Estates Naples Kingdom Hall and Cypress Wood Presbyterian Church; a county park (Max A Hasse Jr. Community Park); and Big Cypress Elementary School. This area is zoned Estates and designated Estates, Mixed Use District, Residential Estates Subdistrict. STAFF ANALYSIS: Background and Considerations: The applicant is proposing a Growth Management Plan (GMP) amendment to allow a conditional use for a church/place of worship to be located at the southeastern corner of the intersection of Collier Blvd. (CR951) and Golden Gate Blvd. (CR876). The site consists of ±6.25-acres and is comprised of two tax parcels. The northern parcel is wooded and undeveloped and the southern parcel contains a single-family home and is heavily wooded. Although the northern parcel is located at the intersection of an arterial roadway (Collier Blvd.) and a collector road (Golden Gate Blvd.), as identified in the Transportation Element of the GMP, no development has been previously approved and constructed. The applicant, Grace Romanian Baptist Church of Naples, purchased this property in November 2016 and is the owner of this site. The congregation has been holding services (sharing with another congregation) at the First Baptist Church of Naples on Orange Blossom Drive. Although the project is to be for a congregation of less than 300 people (seats), they want to worship in their own church. Their services will be conducted in Romanian. This petition and the companion Conditional Use application are for church-use only – not to accommodate a day care or any other community functions such as Boy/Girl Scouts or Alcohol Anonymous meetings, etc. The GGAMP provides that various types of conditional uses are permitted in the Estate s zoning district within the Golden Gate Estates area. In order to control the location and spacing of new conditional uses, one of the following sets of criteria must be met: Essential Services Conditional Use Provisions, Golden Gate Parkway and Collier Boulevard Special Provisions, Neighborhood Center Transitional Conditional Use Provisions, and Transitional Conditional Uses, and Special Exceptions to Conditional Use Locational Criteria. The applicant has requested a conditional use 9.A.1 Packet Pg. 120 Attachment: CCPC Adoption Staff Report CPSS-17-1 (7812 : Grace Romanian Church (GMPA)) Zoning Division ● 2800 North Horseshoe Drive ● Naples, FL 34104 ● 239-252-2400 Page 6 of 11 under the last criteria, Special Exceptions. In reviewing the surrounding area, 6 churches are located within a one mile radius of the subject site. Previously, in 2007 and 2008, the two existing churches near Max Hasse Park were approved via the Transitional CU provision. Other churches in the surrounding area were granted provisional uses in the 1980’s , prior to adoption of the GGAMP. Previously, only two churches were approved under Special Exceptions to Conditional Use Locational Criteria: a church on Immokalee Road and a church on Santa Barbara Blvd. Compatibility (including appropriateness of the location) for this project is identified by staff as the potential main area of concern to address. Compatibility: The surrounding area (at least 1 mile in any direction from the subject site) is entirely designated as Estates. This designation is characterized by low density semi-rural residential lots with limited opportunities for other land uses. Typical lots are 2.25 acres in size. Residential density is limited to a maximum of one unit per 2.25 gross acres, or one unit per legal non-conforming lot of record, exclusive of guesthouses. The range of uses in the area surrounding the subject site include mostly residential single-family units, with a small mix of churches scattered throughout the area, as well as a park, a school, two commercial sites, and a couple of utility sites. Generally, the Estates Designation also accommodates future no n-residential uses, including: conditional uses, subject to locational criteria, and essential services as defined in the Land Development Code. This amendment is proposing a land use that is in keeping with the surrounding area and the companion conditional use is an appropriate vehicle for obtaining permission for this use (the other means is through a rezoning). Historically, churches have been located within residential neighborhoods. Generally, these churches were not megachurches with significant activity on site every day of the week, rather were small with primary activity on Sunday. Neither this petition nor the companion CU petition indicate a seating capacity of more than 300 seats. In staff’s view, the impacts from this church appear to be similar to that of the characteristics of churches historically located in neighborhoods. Compatibility can be more specifically addressed at time of zoning, and may include building height and size limitations, setback and buffer requirements, etc. In staff’s opinion, if this petition is approved it will increase the likelihood of a similar petition (to allow an Estates zoning district CU) being submitted for the property across Golden Gate Blvd. at the northeast corner of Golden Gate Blvd. and Collier Blvd. Justifications for Proposed Amendment: The agent for the applicant conducted and submitted a data and analysis review as part of the application packet for the GGAMP amendment. The analysis examined the following: • Vicinity to existing local parishioners • Location of alternative facilities offering similar denominational opportunities • Property availability • Alternative site analysis • Ongoing update/re-study of Golden Gate Area Master Plan Vicinity to existing local parishioners: Currently the congregation consists of local residents, with no seasonal impacts to the church population. The applicant provided a map with the locations 9.A.1 Packet Pg. 121 Attachment: CCPC Adoption Staff Report CPSS-17-1 (7812 : Grace Romanian Church (GMPA)) Zoning Division ● 2800 North Horseshoe Drive ● Naples, FL 34104 ● 239-252-2400 Page 7 of 11 of the parishioners showing that there are two clusters of existing members in Golden Gate City and Golden Gate Estates. The proposed church location would lie between these clusters. There is another cluster of members that live between Vanderbilt Beach Road and Immokalee Road close to I-75. Only a couple of members live outside of these areas. Location of alternative facilities offering similar denominational opportunities : The proposed church is unique in that it provides services conducted in Romanian. The applicant provided a map indicating where other churches in the state of Florida provided similar denominational opportunities. The closest churches to Naples were located in Hollywood (122 miles) and Lake Worth (132 miles). The only other churches in Florida were located in Seffner (160 miles) and Jacksonville (379 miles). Property availability: The applicant and agent reviewed other properties in the same vicinity that might meet the needs of the church with these key criteria: minimum of 5 acres, maximum of 10 acres, minimum lot width of 330 linear feet, located with frontage on arterial or collector roadway, a maximum of 5 miles east of I-75 and north of Golden Gate Parkway, sale price less than or equal to $135,000. Two properties were identified: (1) Sungate CPUD Tract B (northwest corner of Green Blvd. and Collier Blvd.) and (2) a property on the west side of Collier Blvd. approximately 0.13 miles north of Pine Ridge Road. Alternative site analysis: The application included a description, map of two alternative sites, plus the proposed location, that were analyzed: (1) The Sungate CPUD - Limits the actual total square feet to 63,000 square feet for Tracts B, C, and D, so another development could cause restraints in the ability for the church to develop and water management facilities for the 1.02 County owned right-of-way might further limit the church’s developable area in Tract B. Also, this site is not currently on the market. (2) Property on the west side of Collier Blvd. north of Pine Ridge Road - Access to Collier Blvd. might also be limited to parishioners during peak transportation hours for the church. Cost of constructing this site might be higher than proposed site due to an 8-foot deep storm water detention pond utilized for the roadway storm water attenuation. This site was also the highest cost per acre. The proposed site - 3899 1st Ave. SW would need a Conditional Use and a GGAMP amendment. This property is owned by the applicant. Ongoing update/re-study of Golden Gate Area Master Plan: The Collier County Community Planning Section is currently conducting a restudy of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan. A number of public meetings were held with citizens and developers in Golden Gate Estates in order to have an understanding of what changes in the Growth Management Plan they would like to see. Surveys were used to help indicate what land uses participants would prefer. The surveys indicated that the participants might be agreeable to some additional potential Conditional Use (CU) locations, if limited as to location and type. Between 45% and 50% of participants stated that additional CU’s should be allowed at arterial intersections (described as 4 or more lane roads intersected by 4 or more lane roads). There were 5 rural locations and 3 urban locations that were identified as potential sites for Transitional CUs under this description, including Golden Gate Blvd. and Collier Blvd. (east quadrants). However, the Re-study also limits the size of these CU locations to 2.25 acres to 5 acres or less. Church uses evoked a variety of opinions (both favorable and unfavorable) among the participants. The GMP amendments based on the re-study (recommended for approval by the CCPC) have not yet been heard by the BCC at Transmittal hearing and must be reviewed by various state agencies before being heard at CCPC and BCC Adoption hearings. If the GGAMP Re-study amendments should be approved by the BCC as 9.A.1 Packet Pg. 122 Attachment: CCPC Adoption Staff Report CPSS-17-1 (7812 : Grace Romanian Church (GMPA)) Zoning Division ● 2800 North Horseshoe Drive ● Naples, FL 34104 ● 239-252-2400 Page 8 of 11 presently drafted, a Transitional CU at this location would be permitted, if the acreage was between 2.25 and 5 acres. This petition is for a Special Exception to Conditional Use Locational Criteria. Identification and Analysis of the Pertinent Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Criteria in Florida Statutes Chapter 163.3187: Process for adoption of small scale comprehensive plan amendment.

The subject property is 6.25 acres. Vegetation in the canopy consists of a mix of slash pine, cypress, and cabbage palm. The acreage of native vegetation on site will be field verified by staff during review of the Conditional Use (CU) for the project. The proposed GMP amendment has no effect on the requirements of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) of the GMP. Native vegetation on site will be retained in accordance with the requirements of CCME Policy 6.1.1 and section 3.05.07 of the LDC. Public Facilities Impacts: Eric Fey, Senior Project Manager with Collier County Public Utilities Engineering & Project Management Division, completed his review and approved this petition in August 2017. Transportation Impacts: Michael Sawyer, Project Manager with Collier County Transportation Planning, completed his review and approved this petition, without any conditions, in August 2017. NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING (NIM) SYNOPSIS: A Neighborhood Information Meeting (NIM), as required by Land Development Code (LDC) Section 10.03.05 A, was duly advertised, noticed, and held - on October 11, 2017, 5:30 p.m. at the Collier County – Estates Branch Library, 1266 Golden Gate Blvd. W, Naples, FL 34120 - jointly for this small scale GMP amendment and the companion Conditional Use petition. The applicant’s team gave a presentation and then responded to questions. A total of approximately 9 members of the public along with approximately 4 members of the applicant’s team and County staff signed in at the NIM. The public asked questions about the project details. The consultant explained that there were two separate applications: a small-scale amendment for the Growth Management Plan and a zoning action for a conditional use. One citizen spoke in favor of having this church as a neighbor. Several of the citizens who attended the Neighborhood Information Meeting, voiced concerns over the following transportation issues: additional traffic along Weber Blvd., location of ingress and egress points, County is unwilling to install traffic calming devices along Weber Blvd., and the trip count was calculated as 183 Sunday peak hour trips. The meeting ended at approximately 6:15 p.m. A second NIM was duly advertised, noticed, and held - on June 25, 2018, 5:30 p.m. at the Collier County – Estates Branch Library, 1266 Golden Gate Blvd. W, Naples, FL 34120 - jointly for this small scale GMP amendment and the companion Conditional Use petition. Fred Hood, agent for the applicant at that time, presented the project with proposed changes, using both a PowerPoint 9.A.1 Packet Pg. 124 Attachment: CCPC Adoption Staff Report CPSS-17-1 (7812 : Grace Romanian Church (GMPA)) Zoning Division ● 2800 North Horseshoe Drive ● Naples, FL 34104 ● 239-252-2400 Page 10 of 11 slideshow and an updated list of 21 conditions for the Conditional Use zoning action (list was also a handout) and then answered questions. Approximately 23 citizens, 4 members of the applicant’s team, and the 2 planners from the County attended the NIM. Questions and concerns from the attendees included: • Number of acres for project site? 6.25 acres • Number of square feet of storage shed? 1,800 sq. feet • Types of special events? Not defined yet • Where will special events be held on the site? in the pastor’s residence? Outdoors? If outside, could be in parking area, or in open area, if pastor residence not built. • Traffic is already a nightmare. Applicant will continue to work with County staff. • Traffic access to site locations. Applicant will continue to work with County staff. • Could a bridge entrance be constructed over the Collier Blvd. canal? Not possible, since land that would be needed does not belong to church and safe distance from Golden Gate Blvd could not be accommodated. • If an event is held in parking area, where will people park? As part of a special event permit a parking plan is required. • Do not want carnival or revival type events. Agent asked if citizen wanted any other types of events eliminated. • Speeding on Weber Blvd. Citizens need to work with Sherriff’s office. • Have an off-duty officer for traffic control. • Churches do not pay property taxes. • What will be cleared in the preserve area? Only native vegetation would remain. • Dates of Public Hearings. No dates were set yet. Meeting adjourned at approximately 6:08 p.m. [synopsis prepared by Sue Faulkner, Principal Planner, Comprehensive Planning Section] FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS: • There are no adverse environmental impacts as a result of this petition. • No historic or archaeological sites are affected by this amendment. • There are no transportation or utility-related concerns as a result of this petition. • The use is generally compatible with surrounding development. • The Re-study for the Golden Gate Area Master Plan identifies the eastern quadrants of Collier Blvd. and Golden Gate Blvd. as appropriate for Estates Zoning District CUs with conditions, including a size maximum of 5 acres. • In staff’s opinion, if this petition is approved it will increase the likelihood of a similar petition (to allow an Estates zoning district CU) being submitted for the property across Golden Gate Blvd. at the northeast corner of Golden Gate Blvd. and Collier Blvd. • Staff finds that the data and analysis submitted by the petitioner demonstrates a need for the proposed amendment and that this is an appropriate location to fulfill that need.

This information is in response to the circled items in the Rezone Pre-Application Notes as provided by Davidson Engineering. See Appendix A, Rezone Pre-App Notes & Environmental Checklists, pgs. 17-22. PROPERTY LOCATION The Grace Romanian Church property is located at the southeast corner of Collier Boulevard and Golden Gate Boulevard West, in Section 11, Township 49 South, Range 26 East, in Collier County, Florida. The property is approximately 6.25 acres. See Figure 1, Location Map. Figure 1. Location Map ENVIRONMENTAL DATA REPORT Earth Tech Environmental, LLC 1455 Rail Head Blvd, Suite 8, Naples, FL 34110 www.eteflorida.com ENVIRONMENTAL DATA CHECKLIST (Numbers match PUD checklist) 2. Who and what company prepared the Environmental Data Report? This Environmental Data Report was prepared by Earth Tech Environmental, LLC. Ecologists Jeremy Sterk and Jennifer Bobka. See Appendix B, Staff Qualifications. 3. Identify on a current aerial, the location and acreage of all SFWMD jurisdictional wetlands according to the Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS) and include this information on the SDP or final plat construction plans. Based on the FLUCCS system, there are no jurisdictional wetlands present on the property: FLUCCS 624-D, Pine – Cypress – Cabbage palm (Drained), 3.88 Acres This is the largest vegetation community on the subject property. Canopy vegetation includes scattered bald cypress, slash pine and cabbage palm. Other vegetation observed includes grapevine, beauty berry, cocoplum, sword fern, myrsine, dahoon holly, strangler fig, and isolated patches of saw palmetto. Exotic plants were estimated at be <50% and included Brazilian pepper, ear-leaf acacia, old-world climbing fern, Java plum, and Caesar weed. The ground is covered in heavy mats of slash pine needles and other duff. The community was likely a historic wetland, but no longer meets wetland criteria due to lack of wetland hydrology. Adjacent roads and the CR 951 canal have likely had a significant impact on the hydrology. Based on these factors, this community was given a ‘drained’ designation. See Figure 2, Aerial with Wetlands Identified. Figure 2. Aerial with Wetlands Identified (No jurisdictional wetlands present). ENVIRONMENTAL DATA REPORT Earth Tech Environmental, LLC 1455 Rail Head Blvd, Suite 8, Naples, FL 34110 www.eteflorida.com 7.Provide a wildlife survey for the nests of bald eagle and for listed species known to inhabit biological communities similar to those existing on site.

Identify on a current aerial the acreage, location and community types of all upland and wetland habitats on the project site, according to the Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS), and provide a legend for each of the FLUCCS Codes identified. See Figure 3, Aerial with FLUCCS Overlay. Based on the FLUCCS system, the following communities are present on the property: FLUCCS 110, Residential, Low Density, 2.27 Acres This community consists of low-density rural areas characterized by a relatively small number of homes per acre. This type of land is almost entirely committed to residential use, even though it may include forest or range types. FLUCCS 624-D, Pine – Cypress – Cabbage palm (Drained), 3.88 Acres This is the largest vegetation community on the subject property. Canopy vegetation includes scattered bald cypress, slash pine and cabbage palm. Other vegetation observed includes grapevine, beauty berry, cocoplum, sword fern, myrsine, dahoon holly, strangler fig, and isolated patches of saw palmetto. Exotic plants were estimated at be <50% and included Brazilian pepper, ear-leaf acacia, old-world climbing fern, Java plum, and Caesar weed. The ground is covered in heavy mats of slash pine needles and other duff. The community was likely a historic wetland, but no longer meets wetland criteria due to lack of wetland hydrology. Adjacent roads and the CR 951 canal have likely had a significant impact on the hydrology. Based on these factors, this community was given a ‘drained’ designation. FLUCCS 740, Disturbed Land, 0.10 acres Disturbed Lands are areas which have been changed due primarily to human activities. On the subject property, this area consists of a small, unfinished turnoff/driveway in the north-central vicinity, as well as two smaller areas along the north-eastern property boundary.

LOCATION The Grace Romanian Church property is located on the corner of Collier Boulevard and Golden Gate Boulevard West, in Section 11, Township 49 South, Range 26 East, in Collier County, Florida. The parcel is approximately 6.23 acres. See (Figure 1) below for Location Map. Figure 1. Site Location Map SPECIES SURVEY MATERIALS & METHODS The species survey was conducted using a methodology similar to that discussed in the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) publication “Ecology and Habitat Protection Needs of Gopher Tortoise (gopherus polyphemus) Populations Found on Lands Slated for Large-scale Development in Florida.” This methodology is as follows: Existing vegetation communities or land-uses on the subject site are delineated on a recent aerial photograph (Collier County 2017) using the Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS). FLUCCS mapping for this property is detailed below in (Figures 2 & 3). The resulting FLUCCS codes are cross-referenced with a list of protected plant and animal species. The lists were obtained from two agency publications: Protected Species Survey Earth Tech Environmental, LLC 1455 Rail Head Blvd, Suite 8, Naples, FL 34110 www.eteflorida.com v A list of animals and birds was obtained from the FWC publication “Florida’s Endangered Species, Threatened Species & Species of Special Concern-Official Lists”, Publication Date: October 2016. v A list of protected plant species was obtained from the publication “Notes on Florida’s Endangered and Threatened Plants”, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry, Bureau of Entomology, Nematology & Plant Pathology- Botany Section, Contribution 38, 5th Edition (2010). The result is a composite table that contains the names of the protected species which have the highest probability of occurring in each FLUCCS community. See (Table 1) of this report for the species list that applies to this property. In the field, each FLUCCS community is searched for listed species or signs of listed species. This is accomplished using a series of transects throughout each vegetation community. If necessary, transect integrity is maintained using a handheld GPS in track mode. Signs or sightings of all listed and non-listed species are then recorded. Listed species locations are typically flagged and marked by GPS. Based on the habitat types found on this parcel of land, particular attention was paid to the presence or absence of fox squirrels and listed plants. EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS Temperatures during the fieldwork for this survey were in the mid 80’s. Cloud cover was absent. Approximately four (4) man-hours were logged on the property during this species survey. (Table 3) details date and time spent in the field. The Subject Property has the following surrounding land uses: West Collier Blvd North Golden Gate Blvd. West/Residential South Residential East Residential Listed below are the FLUCCS communities identified on the site. The following community descriptions correspond to the mappings on the FLUCCS map below. See Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (Department of Transportation, Surveying & Mapping Geographic Mapping Section, 1999) for definitions. FLUCCS 110, Residential, Low Density, 2.27 Acres This community consists of low-density rural areas characterized by a relatively small number of homes per acre. This type of land is almost entirely committed to residential use, even though it may include forest or range types. FLUCCS 624-D, Pine – Cypress – Cabbage palm (Drained), 3.88 Acres This is the largest vegetation community on the subject property. Canopy vegetation includes scattered bald cypress, slash pine and cabbage palm. Other vegetation observed includes grapevine, beauty berry, cocoplum, sword fern, myrsine, dahoon holly, strangler fig, and isolated patches of saw palmetto. Exotic plants were estimated at be <50% and included Brazilian pepper, ear-leaf acacia, old- world climbing fern, Java plum, and Caesar weed. The ground is covered in heavy mats of slash pine needles and other duff.

Conditional Uses Subdistrict within the Golden Gate Area Master Plan; demonstrating a change to the  existing Growth Management Plan (GMP) as warranted.  The proposed conditional use is located at the  southeast corner of the signalized intersection of Collier Boulevard and Golden Gate Boulevard West (see  Attachment A ‐ Location Map) and consists of ±6.25 acres of land.  The intent of the Conditional Uses  Subdistrict is to provide specific areas and properties for approved conditional uses within the Golden  Gate Area Master Plan.    The Collier County GMP currently designates the aforementioned property (±6.25 acres) as part of the  Residential Estates Sub‐district within the Estates Mixed Use District of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan.   This designation allows the following uses:  Group Housing, Parks, and Recreational Areas/Open Space,  Single Family Residential (at a density of 1 unit per 2.25 acre), Essential Services, and Nursing Homes.  The  additional development of uses are available through a conditional use application.  The proposal of this amendment application is to identify the location and allowable square  footage/maximum number of seats within the Conditional Uses Subdistrict in order to construct a church  at the proposed location.  Upon final approval and adoption of a Small‐Scale Growth Management Plan  Amendment (SSGMPA), the property will move forward with its companion Conditional Use application  for zoning and a Site Development Plan; meeting the intent of the Land Development Code by identifying  a proposed church facility with allowable accessory uses within the ±6.25‐acre parcel.  Physical Description of Subject Property:  Recently, ecologist Jeremy Sterk of Earth Tech Environmental, LLC, prepared a Florida Land Use Cover  Classifications System (FLUCCS) map and reviewed the potential protected species correlated with the  FLUCCS map for the subject property.  The FLUCCS shows ±6.25 acres as identified with a single‐family  house (2.27 acres), native vegetation (3.88 acres), and disturbed lands (0.08 acres); please refer to  Attachment B.  The potential protected species report advises that there are likely no protected species  on‐site; please refer to Attachment C.  3 3  Data & Analysis:  To justify the need for the Future Land Use designation modification, a data & analysis review has been  performed.  This report identifies justifications to demonstrate the requested amendment is warranted.   Criteria for this analysis include proximity of the local church’s parishioners, properties at the intersections  or close to arterial and collector roadways, and existing availability of potential development sites  between 5 and 10 acres from Interstate‐75 (forming the western boundary) to five miles east (eastern  boundary), the border of between Collier and Lee Counties (the northern boundary) and Golden Gate  Parkway to the south (forming the final boundary of the data & analysis study area).  The limiting criteria  were selected based on vacancy, size, current market value of land, and accessibility to parishioners.  The subject property, as well as any alternative sites, have been evaluated to ensure that the existing and  future demographics will support the proposed land use based on the following:  Vicinity to Existing Local Parishioners Location of Alternate Facilities Offering Similar Traditional Worship Opportunities Property Availability and Compatibility with the proposed development Vicinity to Existing Local Parishioners  Demographic information is an excellent indicator of demand for proposed services that currently do not  exist.  Population statistics for the data analysis were obtained from the Church/applicant; refer to  Attachment D.  In this case, the parishioners are local to the area and as such, there are no seasonal  impacts to the population.  Location of Alternative Facilities Offering Similar Denominational Opportunities  In defining a warranted use for the requested service, locations of existing facilities with identical or similar  services provided were also identified; refer to Attachment E.    The results are listed below, along with the respective addresses and distance from the ±6.25‐acre  proposed location:  1.Grace Romanian Baptist Church 1542 Harrison St, Hollywood, FL 33020 (122.0 mi)  2.New Life Romanian Baptist Church 1950 Van Buren St, Hollywood, FL 33020 (123.0 mi)

established in defining potential available sites.  The key criteria for site development are as follows:   Minimum 5 acres in size   Maximum 10 acres in size   Minimum Lot width of 330 Linear Feet   Located with frontage on an arterial or collector roadway   A maximum of 5 miles east of Interstate‐/+75, north of Golden Gate Parkway within Collier County   Sale Price of Less than or equal to $135,000 per acre  In making the decision to proceed with the subject site (±6.25‐acre property), all viable sites that are  available were reviewed and discussed.  Due to the limited amount of undeveloped properties meeting  the criteria (including PUD’s with similar uses and intensities permitted), few options existed; refer to  Attachment F.  Available property includes the following:  Option #1  Folio #’s: 75180000120

The site is generally located midblock on the western side Collier Boulevard (C.R. 951).  Approximately  0.13 miles north of Pine Ridge Road.  Limiting access points are located on Collier Boulevard (C.R. 951).     5 5    Alternative Site Analysis:  To further identify a need for the Future Land Use Element and Map designation amendment of the  subject property, an alternative site analysis was completed based on the locational and dimensional  features of the subject property; along with the required zoning designations required for future  development of the proposed land use.   The following criteria identify the unique features associated with the subject property to perform a data  and analysis review required to support the Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA).  Within the  analysis, the subject property (±6.25 acres) and the alternative sites were evaluated by their consistency  with the following:   Minimum 5 acres in size   Maximum 10 acres in size   Minimum Lot width of 330 Linear Feet   Located at a corner an arterial or collector roadway with frontage   A maximum of 5 miles east of Interstate 75, north of Golden Gate Parkway within Collier County   Sale Price of Less than or equal to $135,000 per acre  These specific criteria were chosen to identify alternative sites that may be similar to the subject property  to develop and operate the proposed land use.  The property acreage and dimensional criteria have been  chosen to ensure the proposed church will be afforded the same, or better, net developable area the  master concept plan illustrates to develop the proposed mixture of principal and accessory land uses; i.e.  a proposed sanctuary, multi‐purpose fields and support structures as necessary.    Per the current Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy ‐ White Paper, a survey was conducted regarding  the allowance of additional Conditional Uses in the Rural Estates.  Most individuals polled that additional  Conditional Uses should be allowed at more locations within the Rural Estates, and specifically at arterial  intersections. Therefore, the locality of the site on an arterial or collector roadway specifically identifies a  location that is compatible with the present Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy; refer to Attachment  J.  Additionally, the location on an arterial and/or collector road will not only provide better site visibility,  it will provide the proposed development with available transportation conveniences in the forms of  increased vehicular access by comparison to those sites without access to major thoroughfares.   By defining the area of development east of Interstate 75, and north of Golden Gate Parkway within Collier  County, a site can be identified that will benefit the existing parishioners commute to the proposed  development and defines an area that meets the requests of the church.    As a final criterion, cost per acre was evaluated. It was deemed a critical component to determining  available property due to the non‐profit business of the church facilities.  Places of worship, specifically  Grace Romanian Baptist Church, does not generate an income that provides the church a profit, therefore  affordability of available property to the applicant is essential.  6 6    In making the decision to proceed with future development of the subject property, all viable sites that  are available were reviewed.  It is assumed that all vacant/undeveloped and/or cleared properties adhere  to criteria of availability with the addition of a Multiple Listing Search (MLS) for properties meeting the  identified criterion.  Due to the limited amount of available properties (including PUD’s with Church  Facilities), few alternative option exists.    Proposed Site Location

The proposed site is owned by the applicant.  It is currently zoned Estates.  Currently, the site is consistent  with the Future Land Use Element (FLUE).  Upon the successful completion of this GMPA application, the  proposed church and accessory land uses will be found consistent and permitted within the Subdistrict  and subsequent zoning.    As noted above, to develop the property for a church, the applicant is required to file a GMPA and a  companion Conditional Use application for the property.  The GMPA’s intent is to justify and permit the  proposed land use at this location based on a thorough data analysis.  A Conditional Use application will  be necessary to develop the site for the church facility.  This site meets all of the stated criteria and is  further justified by the data analysis.  Alternate Site Locations:  Alternate Site #1: Property located on the corner of Green Boulevard and Collier Boulevard  approximately 3.00 miles east of 1‐75  Zoning:    Sungate CPUD; Attachment H  Folio #’s:  75180000120; Attachment G  Parcel Size:  5.17 Acres    Ordinance 09‐06 defines the zoning and development control of this property.  These parcels are void of  any development.  The identified site is Tract B within the Sungate CPUD with commercial zoning and is  set to accommodate a total of 63,000 square feet.  Identified in the Future Land Use Map as the Golden  Gate Estates Commercial Infill Subdistrict, the GMP does not limit intensity.       It can be argued that this location has the potential of providing more visibility due to its location, although  developable area and available square footage of development limit the site.  Per the Planned Unit  Development Tracts B, C, and D are limited to 63,000 square feet of commercial buildout.  If the available  commercial development is rationed according to site acreage – Tract B would be limited to approximately  50,000 sf of building.  Additionally, per the PUD Ord. 09‐06, Tracts B, C, and D would be responsible for  7 7  providing water management facilities for 1.02 acres of County owned right‐of‐way and Tract A (2.04  Acres) further limiting the available developable area within Tract B.  Due to the Commercial Planned Unit  Development zoning on the site, the intensity of the property is limited; thereby inhibiting space for the  proposed use.  When compared to the proposed site location for compatibility and consistency with the  intensity of the site from a zoning standpoint, the proposed site location is more logical and better suited  site than this parcel.  Alternate Site #2: Located midblock on Collier Boulevard (C.R. 951) approximately 0.13 miles north  of Pine Ridge Road.    Zoning: Estates; Attachment I  Folio #’s:36618000107, 36618000000  Parcel Size:5.00 Acres  The property is currently zoned Estates with a combined lot width of 330 linear feet and acreage of 5.00  available for development.  These parcels are currently void of any development; and were identified  through a MLS as available property.  It can be argued that this location meets all the requested criterion, based on property acreage and  dimensional criteria, location of the site on an arterial or collector roadway within the defined area of and  study.  However, to develop the site as proposed, the property would also require a GMPA and Conditional  Use Rezone.    Additionally, based on existing conditions of adjacent properties, access from Collier Boulevard will be  granted to the site via a single egress/ingress point to the Boulevard; therefore, limiting access to the  parishioners during peak transportation hours for the church.  Additionally, the right‐of‐way directly  adjacent to the property is designed as a ±8‐foot deep storm water management detention pond utilized  for the roadway storm water attenuation; thus, increasing the cost of constructing the proposed access  and increasing the permitting fees.  Furthermore, of the properties analyzed this site demands the highest cost at $138,000.00 per acre.  As a  completely vegetated lot with a number of site improvements that will need to be addressed, to develop  would be too costly for the church to absorb.  When compared to the proposed site location for  compatibility and consistency with the criterion previously identified, the subject property provides more  site accessibility and cost‐efficiency to develop per the wants and needs of the applicant.  In addition, the  proposed property better suits the integrity of the Estates Golden Gate Area Master Plan in reference to  conditional use properties within the Golden Gate Area.  8 Alternative Site Analysis Table

LOCATION The Grace Romanian Church property is located on the corner of Collier Boulevard and Golden Gate Boulevard West, in Section 11, Township 49 South, Range 26 East, in Collier County, Florida. The parcel is approximately 6.23 acres. See (Figure 1) below for Location Map. Figure 1. Site Location Map SPECIES SURVEY MATERIALS & METHODS The species survey was conducted using a methodology similar to that discussed in the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) publication “Ecology and Habitat Protection Needs of Gopher Tortoise (gopherus polyphemus) Populations Found on Lands Slated for Large-scale Development in Florida.” This methodology is as follows: Existing vegetation communities or land-uses on the subject site are delineated on a recent aerial photograph (Collier County 2017) using the Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS). FLUCCS mapping for this property is detailed below in (Figures 2 & 3). The resulting FLUCCS codes are cross-referenced with a list of protected plant and animal species. The lists were obtained from two agency publications: 16 Protected Species Survey Earth Tech Environmental, LLC 1455 Rail Head Blvd, Suite 8, Naples, FL 34110 www.eteflorida.com v A list of animals and birds was obtained from the FWC publication “Florida’s Endangered Species, Threatened Species & Species of Special Concern-Official Lists”, Publication Date: October 2016. v A list of protected plant species was obtained from the publication “Notes on Florida’s Endangered and Threatened Plants”, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry, Bureau of Entomology, Nematology & Plant Pathology- Botany Section, Contribution 38, 5th Edition (2010). The result is a composite table that contains the names of the protected species which have the highest probability of occurring in each FLUCCS community. See (Table 1) of this report for the species list that applies to this property. In the field, each FLUCCS community is searched for listed species or signs of listed species. This is accomplished using a series of transects throughout each vegetation community. If necessary, transect integrity is maintained using a handheld GPS in track mode. Signs or sightings of all listed and non-listed species are then recorded. Listed species locations are typically flagged and marked by GPS. Based on the habitat types found on this parcel of land, particular attention was paid to the presence or absence of fox squirrels and listed plants. EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS Temperatures during the fieldwork for this survey were in the mid 80’s. Cloud cover was absent. Approximately four (4) man-hours were logged on the property during this species survey. (Table 3) details date and time spent in the field. The Subject Property has the following surrounding land uses: West Collier Blvd North Golden Gate Blvd. West/Residential South Residential East Residential Listed below are the FLUCCS communities identified on the site. The following community descriptions correspond to the mappings on the FLUCCS map below. See Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (Department of Transportation, Surveying & Mapping Geographic Mapping Section, 1999) for definitions. FLUCCS 110, Residential, Low Density, 2.27 Acres This community consists of low-density rural areas characterized by a relatively small number of homes per acre. This type of land is almost entirely committed to residential use, even though it may include forest or range types. FLUCCS 624-D, Pine – Cypress – Cabbage palm (Drained), 3.88 Acres This is the largest vegetation community on the subject property. Canopy vegetation includes scattered bald cypress, slash pine and cabbage palm. Other vegetation observed includes grapevine, beauty berry, cocoplum, sword fern, myrsine, dahoon holly, strangler fig, and isolated patches of saw palmetto. Exotic plants were estimated at be <50% and included Brazilian pepper, ear-leaf acacia, old- world climbing fern, Java plum, and Caesar weed. The ground is covered in heavy mats of slash pine needles and other duff. 17 Protected Species Survey Earth Tech Environmental, LLC 1455 Rail Head Blvd, Suite 8, Naples, FL 34110 www.eteflorida.com FLUCCS 740, Disturbed Land, 0.10 acres Disturbed Lands are areas which have been changed due primarily to human activities. On the subject property, this area consists of a small, unfinished turnoff/driveway in the north-central vicinity. The following table is summary of FLUCCS communities and corresponding acreages: CODE DESCRIPTION ACREAGE 110 Residential, Low Density 2.27 624-D Pine – Cypress – Cabbage Palm (drained) 3.88 740 Disturbed Land 0.10 Site Total: 6.25 Figure 2.

The GGAMP is a separate element within the County’s Comprehensive Plan. This framework serves as a vehicle to further vet and inform staff, community leaders and the public in advance of the specific language that will be incorporated into the transmittal documents for Growth Management Plan amendment, and the public hearing process. The GGAMP is the second of four restudies focused on eastern Collier County, as directed by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on February 10, 2015. Focus areas of all four restudies include complementary land uses and economic vitality, including housing affordability, transportation and mobility, and environmental stewardship. As the staggered restudies unfold, relationships and synergies between the study areas are identified and maximized. The Community Planning staff in the Zoning Division of the Growth Management Department provide this document to describe the history and status the GGAMP (Section 2), the planning process, outreach, data and analysis (Section 3) and the list of Initial recommendations (Section 4). Appendix A includes the full documentation of the public outreach process and resu lts. The Golden Gate area includes three diverse geographic areas: the eastern or rural Estates (east of County Road 951), the western or urban Estates (West of County Road 951) and Golden Gate City, an unincorporated area. With these differences in mind, public outreach was designed and pursued along these three geographic lines. However, this report will generally follow a format that separates Golden Gate City from both Estates areas. As understood from public outreach, the eastern and western estates have a great deal in common. Where differences exist, they are described in Section 3. Golden Gate City is fundamentally different than either of the Estates areas. The basic structure of the current GGAMP is divided into two main parts: The Goals, Objectives and Policies (GOPs) section and the Land Use Designation Description section. The former section sets forth vision, values, requirements and aspirations; the latter describes specific subdistricts and their land uses within the GGAMP. Both sections guide the Code of Ordinances and Land Development Code in enactment and updated amendments. As a non-substantive consideration, staff proposes that the GOPs and Land Use Descriptions remain as the organizational framework, but within two parts. One part will be the Golden Gate Estates, the other will be Golden Gate City. In this way, the GOPs pertaining to these very different areas will lend more geographic clarity. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 4 of 220 70 As with all restudy efforts, the fundamental premise is that any proposal for amendment to the existing Plan must reflect the goals and vision of residents and stakeholders. Residents responded well to outreach efforts and provided a foundation built on community vision and individual preferences. Non-resident stakeholders include interests that extend beyond the boundaries of the Golden Gate. For example, public water utilities in Collier County and City of Naples draw potable water from beneath the Golden Gate Estates area. The issues and potentials involved in water must be considered, along with other shared policy matters. Note on terminology in this White Paper: As shown on Figure 1, the Estates area east of Collier Blvd. (C.R. 951) will be alternatively described as the eastern Estates or the rural Estates; the Estates area west of Collier Blvd. will be alternatively described as the western Estates or the urban Estates.

Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 6 of 220 72 Section 2: Background History of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan The Golden Gate area was first conceived, platted and developed by the Gulf American Land Corp. Development began in the late 1950’s and the subdivision was approved by the Board of County Commissioners in 1960. By 1965, 90% of the land was platted and marketing was well underway. The Estates portion of Golden Gate comprised 163 square miles (111,000 acres), nearly 8% of the County’s total land area, and was believed to be the world’s largest subdivision. It included 813 miles of roadway (mostly lime rock) and 183 miles of canal to drain the area for habitability. Prior to development, the area was regularly inundated by several feet of water during the wet season. The Estates subdivision included mostly 1.25, 2.5 and 5 acre parcels. It was intended to include single family, multi-family and commercial land uses, but was rezoned into low-density single family residential uses in 1974. By 1982, the minimum (legal conforming) lot size for all areas of the Estates became one unit per 2.25 acres. In 1983, the County entered into a settlement agreement with Avatar Corp., the successor to the defunct Gulf American Land Corp. By that time, leaders recognized additional acreage and funds would be needed to provide public services. The agreement included the provision of 1,062 acres under County ownership to be managed for the purposes of recreation, utilities, community services and essential services. The land was also provided as a source of funds to construct the facilities. Prior to 1991, the Golden Gate area was governed by the County’s Future Land Use Element (FLUE), part of the Growth Management Plan (GMP) first adopted in 1989. As mandated by the first GMP, the unique characteristics of the area were recognized in 1991 by the adoption of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP), a separate element in the Collier County Growth Management Plan. Citizens and County leaders recognized the unique quality of the area, and gave special consideration to natural resources, land use, water management and public facilities, as identified by a Citizen’s Steering Committee. In doing so, former Objective 1, Policies 1.1 and 1.3 and Future Land Use Maps for Golden Gate were superseded. Nevertheless, other Goals, Objectives and Policies in the FLUE remain applicable to the Golden Gate area. In 1996, the Board adopted the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) for Collier County. As a result of that effort, the original Master Plan was replaced by a new G GAMP, pursuant to Ordinance 97- 64. In 2001, the Board directed a restudy of the GGAMP, undertaken by the Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy Committee. The Committee met on more than twenty occasions between June 2001 Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 7 of 220 73 and June 2003 and proposed amendments to the Board for consideration in two phases. The stated goal of this restudy was to guide future decision making in a manner that balances the residents’ need for basic services with natural resource and preservation concerns. Importantly, many of the topics heading todays restudy were closely reviewed by the Committee: commercial uses, conditional uses, rural character and transportation. Subsequently, amendments to the GGAMP were adopted in 2003 and 2004, reflecting community vision for the future of th e area. Since the 1990’s, the State of Florida had been purchasing parcels in the South Golden Gate Estates/NRPA area. Under the Florida Forever and Save our Everglades programs, Picayune Strand State Park was envisioned and pursued, along with significant restoration activity. The acquisition process was completed around 2006. Since then, miles of roadway and canals have been recontoured and three large pump stations and levies installed, with the aim of rehydration to restore natural sheetflow for the benefit of wetlands, aquifers and estuaries, under the direction of South Florida Water Management District and the Army Corps of Engineers. Accordingly, as shown in green on Figure 2, approximately 39,000 acres that comprised the “south blocks” are no longer part of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 8 of 220 74 Current Conditions Following the completion of the purchase and assemblage of Southern Golden Gate Estates by the State of Florida, the remaining area of the rural Golden Gate Estates remains at approximately 58,000 acres. The urban Estates comprise about 8,300 acres and Golden Gate City approximately 2,500 acres. The characteristics of these areas vary greatly. The rural Estates retains the most “rural” character of the three areas, given its size and residential distribution. Because of the development pattern and changes in condition over the past 5 decades, flooding, wildfire and wildlife conditions play a more important role in eastern Estates residents’ lives as compared to the urban area. As of 2016, the rural Estates was nearly 50% built out, as shown in Figure 3, with a higher concentration of dwelling units located nearest the urban area. The population projection for 2016 was Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 9 of 220 75 approximately 32,000 persons. For several decades, this area has been described as a de facto “affordable” housing area, given the land costs in comparison to urban locations. Though its developers built canals to “drain” and lower the water table, remnant wetlands remain on a significant portion of the eastern Estates, including areas within the Horsepen Strand flowway. Meanwhile, the pace of development remains high in the eastern Estates. In fact, building permits issued in this area increased from 273 to 408 year to year, as measured second quarter, 2016 to 2017. In contrast to the rural, eastern Estates, the western Estates is more associated with the urban area, although large lots predominate. This relatively smaller area is in closer proximity to goods, services and job opportunities. Because of its location, it is closer to build-out with 86% of the lots developed, leaving only 14% vacant as of 2016. Figure 4 illustrates the number of residential parcels developed and the number of parcels vacant. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 10 of 220 76 Golden Gate City is at the heart of the GGAMP. As illustrated on Figure 5, the City comprises a denser population in close proximity to a mix of uses which include commercial, office, schools and parks. Although some canals create impediments, and some infrastructure needs improvement, the City is well connected to support a more walkable and bikeable community. Creating a vibrant, walkable community has been identified as a top priority by its residents. The projected 2016 population of Golden Gate City was 24,000. Golden Gate City has a unique demographic; different than what is typically found in urban Collier County. The average age of its residents is 30, compared to 47 county-wide. There are 42% more persons per household (3.38 v. 2.38) and 65% less median household income ($40,000 v. $66,000). Nearly all parcels within Golden Gate City have existing development, however a few parcels remain vacant. Figure 6 shows the current vacant parcels, along with the underlying land use designation. Several vacant parcels exist in both residential and commercial designations. Many of the existing residential and business structures date back to the 1960’s with land values exceeding structure Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 11 of 220 77 values. In addition, some of the larger commercial parcels within the Activity Center are now vacant big-box retailers. These circumstances are a foreshadowing of future redevelopment. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 12 of 220 78 Section 3: Public Outreach, Data and Analysis The Golden Gate area includes three diverse geographic areas: the eastern or rural Estates (east of County Road 951), the western or urban Estates (West of County Road 951) and Golden Gate City, an unincorporated area. With these differences in mind, the restudy effort included public outreach and planning analysis along these three geographic lines. This Section provides information reflective of the unique conditions of Golden Gate City and the Estates. As understood from public outreach, the eastern and western estates have a great deal in common and are discussed in this Section under the same Golden Gate Estates heading. Where differences exist, they are described. The focus areas of complementary land use and economic vitality, transportation and mobility, and environmental stewardship are addressed under both Golden Gate City and Golden Gate Estates. The Golden Gate Area Master Plan restudy public outreach process included extensive public engagement. Residents and stakeholders were encouraged to provide input through multiple platforms including eight public workshops, staff presentations to both the Golden Gate City Civic Association and the Golden Gate Estates Civic Association, a user-friendly website with surveys, and communications through email distribution lists with approximately 330 stakeholders. Appendix A includes the public workshop summaries, polling and survey results, and other communications from stakeholders. The public workshops for both Golden Gate City and the western and eastern Estates kicked-off with a visioning process. The intent was to determine if any of the community values had changed. The visioning process lead to each community developing their own vision statements. These community- defined vision statements should provide guidance for implementing planning goals, objectives and policies. These are provided as a preface to the following Golden Gate City and Golden Gate Estates sections. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 13 of 220 79 Golden Gate City The residents of Golden Gate City created a vision statement during the public workshops. This vision statement reflects the need for the County to adopt land use and transportation policies in the Golden Gate Area Master Plan that are people-oriented and support economic development and redevelopment. Each adopted policy should relate to and further the community’s vision. This vision of a family-oriented community gives direction to consider residents of all ages, children, adults and the elderly, and how they safely move about town, and what destinations are available to help them thrive. Golden Gate City Vision Statement “Golden Gate City is a safe, diverse, family-oriented community that offers easy access to education, parks, shopping and services within a vibrant, walkable community.” Land Use and Economic Vitality Within Golden Gate City there are numerous future land use designations ranging from single family residential use to heavy commercial use. Golden Gate City is a true mixed-use community. Within Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 14 of 220 80 Golden Gate City’s four-square-miles, residents are in close proximity to schools, parks, goods and services. The majority of Golden Gate City is designated as residential (approximately 2,255 acres). Commercial areas (291 acres) are distributed throughout the community along the major arterials including Golden Gate Parkway, Santa Barbara Boulevard and Collier Boulevard. To accommodate both residential and commercial uses, the Golden Gate Area Future Land Use Map provides six different commercial designations, each with different allowed uses, intensities and development standards. Figure 7 shows the Golden Gate City areas designated residential in yellow , school sites, and the six designated commercial or mixed-use areas. The majority of Golden Gate City is designated residential as seen on Figure 8. Well established, stable neighborhoods are the building blocks of any community and should be protected and enhanced. According to the most recent Collier County Property Appraise rs information there are approximately 7,887 residential units, which includes 4,213 single family homes and 3,674 multi- family homes. The multi-family homes are condos, apartments, and a good number of duplexes. This Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 15 of 220 81 housing mix supports great diversity in housing choices within Golden Gate City and allows for aging in place within the same community. While the Golden Gate Master Plan offers a full range of commercial uses, many commercial areas remain under-utilized. Some of the largest stores, including K-Mart and Sweet Bay, have recently closed. During the public workshops, the majority of participants felt there isn’t a need for additional commercial areas, but instead want to focus on redevelopment of the existing areas to bring in new businesses, shops, restaurants and services. Along with community public workshops, Collier County Community Planning staff organized a workshop specifically for all property owners within a commercial land use designation. The purpose of the workshop was to identify opportunities and constraints to developing commercial uses. In addition to noting desires to unify and simplify the uses, design standards and processes throughout the commercial designations, there was strong sentiment supporting the evaluation of redevelopment programs and tools for Golden Gate City. To set the stage for redevelopment and creating an authentic s ense of place, it is proposed to simplify the commercial land use designations along Golden Gate Parkway, and provide consistency in the mix of uses and development standards. The following modifications are proposed to the land use designations and Future Land Use Map. 1. Modify the designation of the Golden Gate Parkway Professional Office Commercial Subdistrict (shown on Figure 7 above) to redesignate it and make consistent with the Golden Gate Downtown Center Commercial Subdistrict. This change will simplify the effort to create design themes and development standards to benefit the community’s desire for future redevelopment that is vibrant and walkable. 2. Add two properties along Golden Gate Parkway, not currently included in this designation. One property is at the northeast corner of Golden Gate Parkway and Santa Barbara, where a CVS store is currently located. The second property is the Coral Palm Apartments located between the Activity Center and the Downtown District . Including this property meets the intent of creating a mixed-use corridor. The addition of these two properties is forward looking to provide for greater development consistency along Golden Gate Parkway in the event of future redevelopment. 3. The final proposed change is to include the Wheels BMX skate park and band shell within the boundary of the Activity Center. The Activity Center provides many civic uses and including this park is consistent with the mixed-use intent of the Activity Center. This will provide Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 16 of 220 82 greater certainty that the park is well connected into the Activity Center and a focal point for community celebrations. There are two policies in the current GGAMP that call for community-planning and neighborhood- based planning programs, however, these policies have not been implemented. During the public workshops, residents expressed a clear willingness to participate in the planning process for their community. When asked, “would you be willing to participate in community -based planning program?”, the majority of workshop participants were willing to engage in such a program. Continued community participation will be needed for future planning efforts such as redevelopment, urban design themes, development standards, and the creation of branding and marketing materials. To best facilitate community and neighborhood-based planning programs Collier County staff should engaged with and support the established Golden Gate City Civic Association and the Municipal Services Taxing District (MSTU), utilizing these established groups to involve residents in future planning efforts. Working with these associations builds cohesion, recognition and support for Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 17 of 220 83 community leadership to continue their focus for improvements in Golden Gate City. It is proposed to work within the established Civic Association and the MSTU, their leadership, administration and outreach platforms, rather than creating a new community planning group administered by Collier County staff as currently called for in the Master Plan. Supporting Golden Gate City Redevelopment Golden Gate City contains several commercial areas that are centrally located to the population. The available acreage for commercial development is sufficient to support the residents of Golden Gate City and the surrounding area; therefore, there is not a need to designate additional areas. Instead, focus is needed within the current commercial areas. These areas are dated, auto-oriented and have some significant “dark boxes” resulting from big box store closures. For the community vision to be realized, redevelopment that is people-oriented is needed. The proposed areas to emphasize renewal efforts are the Activity Center and along Golden Gate Parkway (Figure 10). Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 18 of 220 84 There are three distinct areas within the Activity Center; one is the civic area where the community center, library and other civic uses are located, the second area is where the Winn-Dixie is located, and the third area is where the vacant K-Mart building is located. Both the Winn-Dixie plaza and the vacant K-Mart plaza each have a single owner, making these large aggregated parcels more viable for redevelopment (Figure 11). As developed, these three areas within the Activity Center do not interconnect or relate to one another. They were clearly developed separately without a vision or consideration for the whole. This is a shortcoming of the full potential of this Activity Center. Moreover, the Activity Center plazas were developed in an auto-oriented pattern with access and circulation favoring the automobile. This form of urban development, also found along Golden Gate Parkway, creates impediments to the community’s desire to be a safe, walkable, vibrant community. The typical auto-oriented pattern creates an “anywhere USA” and lacks authentic community identity. Opportunity Naples (2014) has been a guidepost for Collier County economic development. Opportunity Naples found a need for shovel ready sites for target industries in Collier County. The report also found “growth trends in Collier County’s age dynamics risk the future sustainability of the local workforce. Collier County’s 25 to 44-year-old population is proportionally smaller than every comparison area except Sarasota County, as is Collier’s percentage of 0 to 19-year-old residents. Without an influx of younger workers migrating to the County or a spike in birth rates, Greater Naples could face a significant shortfall of replacement workers for future retirees. Likewise, there will be an occupational shortage in Collier County if qualified workers aged 24 to 44 are not recruited to the area to replace retirees.” This age group, and most specifically the millennials, is one of the most sought-after market segments. Fortunately for Golden Gate City the median age is 30, falling right into that desirable workforce age range. Study after study shows millennials are increasingly choosing vibrant , healthy, walkable communities and rejecting the automobile-centric land use patterns of the generations before them. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 19 of 220 85 Golden Gate City has the basis to be just the type of place the young workforce and their employers are searching for. Further supporting mixed-use, allowing employment centers, and improving the walking infrastructure can become an economic development strategy—a tool to retain and attract a skilled workforce and to build a sustainable economic base. To increase job opportunities within Golden Gate City, and provide nearly shovel ready sites, it is proposed to add several specific land uses to the Activity Center designation. These uses support target industries such as, advanced manufacturing, software development, and data and information processing. To ensure a process to determine compatibility with the surrounding area, these new uses within the Activity Center are proposed as conditional uses, hence nearly shovel ready. Alternatively, the Board could allow these as permitted uses and promoted development standards within the Land Development Code to address compatibility. There are several redevelopment programs that could assist in furthering economic development within Golden Gate City. Collier County uses two of these tools. First , the Community Redevelopment Area (CRA). Collier County currently has two CRAs, one in Immokalee and one in the Bayshore Triangle area. The establishment of a CRA is a very lengthy and bureaucratic process. At the state legislative level, CRAs have recently come under scrutiny with some legislators supporting their disbandment. The advantage of the CRA is the County’s administration, engagement and oversight of the redevelopment area projects, along with Tax Increment Financing (TIF). However, Golden Gate City’s demographic and economic profile is similar to that of Immokalee and Bayshore and while a CRA may benefit Golden Gate City, it is likely to compete for grants with the other two CRAs therefore inhibiting the potential of the all CRAs. The second tool the County uses is the Innovation Zone. Ave Maria town centers are designated Innovation Zones. The Innovation Zone, created by BCC Ordinance 2010-20, is a local TIF tool to promote economic growth and diversity. Innovation Zones may be designated by the BCC through the implementation of Economic Development Plans adopted by resolution for each Innovation Zone. Per the Ordinance, “the use of available TIF revenues within an Innovation Zone as a dedicated economic development tool and funding source enhance the general welfare of the County through the advancement of new employment opportunities, the implementation of redevelopment initiatives, the creation of new economic development opportunities and locations and the expansion of existing employment centers.” By permitting specific light industrial uses and employment centers for target industries within the Golden Gate City Activity Center, there is a clear intent to promote economic growth in Golden Gate City, thereby making the Innovation Zone an applicable and viable tool for redevelopment. As a local tool, the BCC is able to designate Innovation Zones without State oversight. Measuring the pros and cons of each redevelopment tool, it is proposed for the Board to designate an Innovation Zone which Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 20 of 220 86 encompasses the Activity Center and Golden Gate Parkway to promote economic growth and redevelopment. In the Santa Barbara Commercial Subdistrict there is a provision for a minimum project size of one acre. Most parcels are half or a quarter of this size making it less feasible for the property owners to develop or redevelop their properties under this requirement. It is proposed to remove this limitation in effort to support the property owners desire to develop their property consistent with the uses allowed. The Land Development Code may be revised as necessary to address any development standards needed to support this change. The Collier Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict, located along the western side of Collier Boulevard between Golden Gate Parkway and Green Boulevard allows heavy commercial with some properties presently zoned C-5, the most intense commercial district. Sustainable communities need appropriate locations for heavy commercial zoning. This land use designation is well located and there are no changes proposed. However, it should be noted that some homeowners located within the western portion of this Subdistrict were very surprised to learn their home had a heavy commercial land use designation. The previous restudy expanded this subdistrict boundary back into a single-family neighborhood. Careful consideration should be given within the Land Development Code to ensure design standards are in place so homeowners are not negatively impacted. Growth Management Plan Policies The following goals, objectives, policies and land use designations outline the land use provisions currently adopted. The policies are relatively non-descript and do not necessarily form a clear the direction for Golden Gate City. This outline is followed by policy recommendations proposed to identify and further the community’s vision. Related Existing Provisions in the GGAMP Goal 4: To preserve and enhance a mix of residential and commercial land uses within Golden Gate City that provides for the basic needs of both the local residents and the residents of the surrounding area. Objective 4.1: Provide for residential and commercial land uses that meet the needs of the surrounding area in the development and redevelopment within Golden Gate City. Policy 4.0.1: Development and redevelopment with Golden Gate City shall be guided by the residential and commercial needs of the surrounding area. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 21 of 220 87 Policy 4.1.1 Collier County shall develop an implementation schedule for the creation of a community-planning program for Golden Gate City… Policy 4.1.2 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. Policy 4.1.3: Collier County shall examine the feasibility of crafting land development regulations specific to the Golden Gate City community. Such regulations shall focus on the unique circumstances of this community. Existing Non-residential Land Use Designations (synopsis) High Density Residential Subdistrict To encourage higher density residential and promote mixed -uses in close proximity to Activity Centers, those residential zoned properties permitting up to 12 dwelling units per acre. Downtown Center Commercial Subdistrict: The primary purpose of the Downtown Center Commercial Subdistrict is to encourage redevelopment along Golden Gate Parkway in order to improve the physical appearance of the area and create a viable downtown district for the residents of Golden Gate City and Golden Gate Estates. Mixed-use Activity Center Subdistrict The Activity Center designated of the Future Land Use Map is intended to accommodate commercial zoning within the Urban Designated Area. Activity Centers are intended to be mixed-use in character. Golden Gate Urban Commercial In-fill Subdistrict This Subdistrict is located at the southwest quadrant of C.R. 951 and Golden Gate Parkway. Commercial uses are limited to low intensity and intermediate commercial uses similar to C-1, C-2, or C-3 zoning. Santa Barbara Commercial Subdistrict The intent of the Santa Barbara Commercial Subdistrict is to provide Golden Gate City with an area that is primarily commercial, with an allowance for certain conditional uses. Thy types of uses permitted within this Subdistrict are low intensity retail, offices, personal services and institutional. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 22 of 220 88 The provisions of this Subdistrict are intended to provide Golden Gate City with a viable professional office district with associated small-scale retail. Collier Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict The primary purpose of the Collier Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict is to encourage redevelopment along Collier Boulevard in order to improve the physical appearance of th e area. This Subdistrict is intended to allow a mix of uses, including heavy commercial within those areas presently zoned C- 5. Recommended Policies • Establish land use designations to protect established, stable, neighborhoods and provide opportunity for redevelopment and renewal through development practices that promote compatibility. • Support redevelopment of Golden Gate Parkway to provide for a viable pedestrian environment adding to the vibrancy and walkability of Golden Gate City. • Add land uses within the designated Activity Center intended to promote job growth and strengthen the economic health of Golden Gate City. • Protect the land uses allowing for diversity of residential housing. • Engage with the Golden Gate Civic Association and MSTU to further community planning programs. • Consider redevelopment tools such as an Innovation Zone to further economic development and redevelopment strategies. • Develop amendments to the Land Development Code to support and implement redevelopment initiatives including incentives for building remodeling and renovation. • Develop a branding and marketing plan for Golden Gate City. • Ensure pertinent incentive programs are made available to those seeking business creation and redevelopment opportunities in Golden Gate City. • Modify the land use designations along Golden Gate Parkway to create a consistent development pattern. • Add target industry uses to the Activity Center. • In the Santa Barbara Commercial District, remove the minimum project size of one acre. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 23 of 220 89 Transportation and Mobility Golden Gate City has a well-connected neighborhood roadway network. However, nearly all streets lack sidewalks or other infrastructure to support walking. This severely limits safe transportation for Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 24 of 220 90 children and those that don’t drive. During the public workshops, there were few complaints of traffic congestion, apart from a few residents’ concern about peak-hour traffic on Santa Barbara Boulevard at the Green Boulevard intersection. The primary transportation focus of residents is improving walking, bicycling and transit access. This is reflected in the Golden Gate City vision statement. It was reported during the public workshops that many Golden Gate City residents are bicycling to work in the coastal area. Recognizing Golden Gate City is a family oriented community, many of the citizens are not of driving age; rather, they are children and seniors that are no longer driving trying to get to services, schools, parks and friends homes. The 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan Needs Assessment shows a needed demand to improve Santa Barbara Boulevard north of Golden Gate Parkway, and that is the only roadway improvement shown as “needed.” The critical need for transportation improvements in Golden Gate City are those that s upport walking, bicycling and transit. Figure 12 shows the existing sidewalk systems is limited to those areas surrounding schools. A few planned sidewalk construction projects are mainly along arterial roads. Very few streets have bike lanes. The Collier MPO has identified the transit need in Golden Gate City by including a future transit transfer point, indicated with a blue circle in the center of Golden Gate City. Additionally, recognizing the transportation needs of pedestrians, the Collier MPO recently initiated the Golden Gate City Walkable Community Study. This study will assess and prioritize pedestrian facility needs for Golden Gate City based on quantitative and qualitative factors. This study will provide guidance to improving the waling conditions in Golden Gate City. Further, it will help the Golden Gate City achieve their vision of a safe, family-oriented community. Following completion of the study and acceptance by the Collier MPO, the approved study recommendations should be incorporated into the Golden Gate Area Master Plan. Growth Management Plan Policies The following goals, objectives, policies outline the related transportation provisions currently adopted. This outline is followed by policy recommendations proposed to identify and further the community’s vision. Related Existing Provisions in the GGAMP Policy 6.2.3: Sidewalks and bike lanes shall provide access to government facilities, schools, commercial areas and the planned County greenway network. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 25 of 220 91 Objective 6.3: Coordinate with local emergency services officials in planning and constructing road improvements within Golden Gate Estates and Golden Gate City to ensure that the access needs of fire department, police and emergency management personnel and vehicles are met. Objective 7.3 Develop strategies through the County Growth Management Division – Planning and Regulation for the enhancement of roadway interconnection within Golden Gate City and the Estates Area including interim measures to assure interconnection. Recommended Policies • Support all transportation needs within Golden Gate City with an emphasis on walkability. Walkability will be improved through the implementation of the recommendations of the MPO’s Walkability Study. • Within the Activity Center, maintain multiple connections to the surrounding neighborhoods and through the Activity Center while providing safe and direct access to transit stops within or adjacent to the Activity Center. • Consider protecting alleys from vacating process where there is reasonable connection and continuity for future pathway corridors. • Initiate periodic speed studies in Golden Gate City and when appropriate, utilize traffic calming measures and speed limit reductions to ensure a safe pedestrian environment. Environmental Stewardship The primary concern for potential environmental degradation in Golden Gate City is associated with the many private wells and septic tanks. As reported by Collier County Utilities Department, residences so near one another pose a significant risk of contamination to individual water wells or supply-sources for the entire region. Private water wells and septic tanks age over time, have a limited lifecycle, and have a wide disparity in the level of maintenance by various property owners, affecting the life and functionality of the tanks. Currently, only one complete quadrant of four within Golden Gate City has access to a treated potable water supply from a private utility, Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA). At their June 27, 2017 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners provided direction to County staff to initiate a due diligence process and negotiate terms of acquisition of FGUA. Integrating the Golden Gate City system into the Collier County Public Utilities system and expanding utility services to homes and businesses within Golden Gate City provides a long-term strategy to address potential environmental impacts and system reliability. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 26 of 220 92 Growth Management Plan Policies While Golden Gate City doesn’t encompass significant natural resources, it is important to focus on policies related to utilities for the reasons stated above. The adopted policies are related to the Florida Governmental Utilities Authority. The proposed provisions reflect the County’s initiative to assume responsibility of maintenance and expansion of utilities for Golden Gate City. Related Existing Provisions in the GGAMP Objective 1.2: Ensure public facilities are provided at an acceptable level of service. Policy 1.2.3: Consistent with Chapter 89-169, Florida Administrative Code, the Florida Governmental Utilities Authority, or its successor, shall provide updated water and sewer service data to the Collier County Water and Wastewater Authority on an annual basis. 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. Recommended Policy • Maintain and expand sewer and water service in accordance with the Collier County Water and Sewer District Implementation Plan. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 27 of 220 93 Golden Gate Estates Golden Gate Eastern Estate Vision Statement “The Golden Gate Eastern Estates is an interconnected, low-density residential community with limited goods and services in neighborhood centers, defined by a rural character with an appreciation for nature and quiet surroundings.” Golden Gate Western Estate Vision Statement “Golden Gate Western Estates is a low-density, large-lot residential neighborhood in a natural setting with convenient access to the coastal area.” Land Use and Economic Vitality Within the GGAMP, there are Goals, Objectives and Policies (GOPs) as well as a Land Use Description Section that pertain specifically to Estates land uses. This section describes the status, review and community recommendations pertaining to GOPs and Estates land use descriptions, both east (rural) and west (urban) of CR 951. Generally, the land uses can be divided into these categories: Residential, Commercial and Conditional. Additionally, policies related to public facilities, adjacent land uses and notice provisions are considered. Residential Land Uses Golden Gate Estates is an area primarily intended for residential uses. Of the 66,000 acres that make up today’s Golden Gate Estates, over 95% is reserved for residential use under the current plan. This is consistent with Goal 5 of the GGAMP that balances the preservation of rural character, wooded lots, the keeping of livestock, the ability to grow crops. wildlife activity and low density residential with limited commercial and conditional uses. As of 2016, the rural Estates residential lots total almost 24,000 in number. Approximately half have been developed. Absent future changes in conservation of parcels for environmental or recreational purposes, the current population of 31,100 can be expected to double by build-out. Figure 13 shows the existing distribution of developed residential areas with in the rural Estates. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 28 of 220 94 By contrast, Figure 14 shows the development of urban Estates lots is much closer to build-out. In this area, 86% of the parcels have been developed, leaving only 430 vacant parcels in this much smaller portion of Golden Gate Estates. An analysis of building activity in Golden Gate Estates suggests that development is currently accelerating. When comparing annual totals as of second quarter, 2017 to second quarter, 2016, permit applications rose from 273 to 408, an increase of almost 50%. Taken together, 681 housing starts over this 2- year period suggests economic vigor in a post- high foreclosure market. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 29 of 220 95 During public outreach, residents and stakeholders did not advocate any major changes in residential land use. Most individuals polled preferred to maintain a low density residential environment with few changes. In fact, the Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association (GGEACA) voiced the preference for a “low density overlay” to protect its character well into the future. The minimum lot size would remain unchanged, with the possibility of recombining some legal non-conforming (smaller) lots. No new designations of residential areas to Neighborhood Centers were suggested. The sole conversion of residential areas endorsed by the public was for office type commercial along a short length of Immokalee Road in the Urban Estates and the possibility of non-residential land uses near the Randal Rd. curve on Immokalee Rd. Residents were polled about some specific aspects of Residential land use. Polling questions included allowing group homes as a permitted use and changing the rules surrounding home-based businesses. Public sentiment was against any change in either topic area. When asked about the desirability of allowing rental of guest houses, polls found mixed results. At a public workshop held in November 2016, 56% of respondents were in favor. In contrast, only 26% responded favorably at a February 2017 public workshop. Currently, there are approximately 700 guest homes in the Estates area. Based on the strong environmental preferences in response to other issues, staff does not recommend guest house rentals, as it would tend to weaken the desire to retain a lower density, lower impact community. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 30 of 220 96 Some requested changes, as described in the environmental portion below, relate the desire to recombine legal non-conforming lots and to require or incentivize on-site stormwater retention and other water-related initiatives to maximize water quality, percolation and floodplain protection. Also, noted in the environmental section, are recommendations for strengthening wildfire prevention and lighting standards. These provisions cross several land uses, including residential land use. Public Notice Although the concept of strengthening various notice provisions was not queried or mentioned in public outreach workshops, staff has observed one notice issue in the context of public petitions. Currently, mailed notices are required in advance of Neighborhood Information Meetings (NIMs) as well as certain public hearings. Where required, it would be beneficial for all involved to provide notices along the entire length of dead-end Estates avenues or streets where a project makes direct impact, if the length is greater than the required linear distance of 1,000 feet. (See Non-Residential Uses/Notice provisions, below.) Specific Property Re-designations From time to time staff was queried about specific properties and whether there would be any specific land use changes recommended. Staff understood its Restudy scope as one essentially limited to universal principles- either in land use or other GOPs. However, it is always possible that, during the Public Hearing process, public officials will endorse land use changes in a parcel specific manner. For example, parcels owned by the County may be the subject of Board direction at Transmittal to effect affordable or senior housing needs, or to accommodate other public uses such as park and ride locations, or other land uses. One specific location that gained attention following public outreach is the area in the vicinity of the Immokalee Rd. curve near Randall Blvd. This is a location where significant transportation planning is underway, and the Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 31 of 220 97 area may be suitable for non-residential uses such as an activity center or other designation. The recommendations below include this area as a future study area to det ermine appropriateness of re-designation, following the completion of the Randall Blvd. and Oil Well Road Corridor Study. The depiction of the future study area, below, extends from 33d Ave NE to properties west of Wilson Blvd., and may be adjusted before the study begins. Staff recommends that the study commence upon the completion of the Oil Well Rd. and Randall Blvd. transportation study. Growth Management Plan Policies Related Existing Provisions in GGAMP: Designation Description/Residential Estates Subdistrict: Single family residential development is allowed within this Subdistrict at a maximum density of one unit per 2.25 gross acres, or one unit per legal non-conforming lot of record, exclusive of guest houses. Objective 5.3: Provide for the protection of the rural character of Golden Gate Estates. Policy 5.3.0.1: Rural character protection provisions shall provide for the preservation of such rural amenities as, but not limited to, wooded lots, the keeping of livestock, the ability to grow crops, wildlife activity, and low-density residential development. Policy 5.3.2: The Land Development Code shall continue to allow and further encourage the preservation of native vegetation and wildlife indigenous to the Estates area. Objective 1.4: Provide a living environment within the Golden Gate area, which is aesthetically acceptable and protects the quality of life. Policy 1.4.0.1 Collier County shall provide a living environment that is aesthetically acceptable and protects the quality of life through the enforcement of applicable codes and laws. Policy 1.4.1: The County’s Code Enforcement Board shall strictly enforce the Land Development Code and other applicable codes and laws to control the illegal storage of machinery, vehicles and junk, and the illegal operation of commercial activities within the Golden Gate area. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 32 of 220 98 Recommended Policies • See Non-residential Land Uses and Environmental Recommendations. Neighborhood Centers and Non-residential Uses Presently, there are three (3) Neighborhood Center designations in the Rural Estates and one (1) on the eastern edge of the urban Estates. In addition to Neighborhood Centers, there are four (4) mixed-use or commercial Sub-districts in the rural Estates and six (6) within the urban Estates. The locations can be seen below in Figure 16. During the public outreach meetings in the rural Estates and in the urban Estates, no new Neighborhood Centers were suggested or desired. Rather, there was strong sentiment to increase the availability of commercial uses in adjoining RFMUD and RLSA areas. In this way, the predominant Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 33 of 220 99 rural, residential character of the Estates could be maintained. Importantly, by placing office, commercial, business and industrial parks in these adjoining Districts, shopp ing, employment and entertainment opportunities would emerge in closer proximity to the Estates, and within easier drive times. As noted in the Master Mobility Plan (2012), reverse trips and shorter trips (fewer vehicle miles travelled) yield benefits to infrastructure demand, local economy, quality of life, environmental protection and public safety. Resizing the Neighborhood Centers Although no new Neighborhood Centers were desired by the public, there was a clear desire by those within the rural Estates that the three Neighborhood Centers should be “right-sized”, to function appropriately within a rural context. For example, Figure 17 shows the three quadrants within the Wilson Boulevard and Golden Gate Boulevard Center contains development areas of 8.45, 7.15 and 4.86 acres, as seen in the figure below. As stated by the Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association (GGEACA), these Centers should be allowed “sufficient (increased) area for road development, septic/wastewater treatment, and water retention.” Additional rationale would include parking, future right- of-way expansion and effective buffering from residential uses. The GGEACA recommended an 80-acre maximum node for each of the three rural Neighborhood Centers. This equates to a maximum of 20 acres per quadrant- an important measure because at least 2 of the 3 rural Neighborhood Centers will not develop all 4 quadrants. In most instances 20 acres will not be required to build an efficient development area, but can serve as a maximum under the Master Plan. Upsizing of any Neighborhood Center would require a rezoning of the property. The maximum acreage per quadrant is not an entitlement but allows the applicant to request zoning greater than the current Future Land Use Map would indicate, under criteria, without a requirement to amend the GGAMP. In all, there are 10 commercial or mixed-use subdistricts in Golden Gate Estates. For the most part, these subdistricts emerged over the past 20 years through private plan amendment applications and Board approvals. As noted, the scope of this Restudy does not include additional site-specific Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 34 of 220 100 recommendations. Further, stakeholders do not presently support additional site -specific commercial designations. Immokalee Rd./Oaks Blvd. Interface There is one location within the urban Estates best described as a potential corridor re-designation. This is an area along the Immokalee Road/Oaks Estates interface as shown in Figure 18. Currently zoned uses among the 16 parcels located in this corridor include 2 com mercial uses (C-1), 8 conditional uses and 6 residential uses. One of the residential uses is entitled to a transitional conditional use application. Another is a County-owned parcel for water retention. Thus, five parcels could retain existing residential zoning or apply for a CU or rezone to C-1, under the recommendation below. When asked about additional conditional uses in the western Estates, a slight majority felt that additional locations were not needed. However, when asked whether the Immokalee Road/Oaks interface should have future land uses to include office and conditional uses, over 75% were in favor. The public understood that a more unified planning approach to this corridor could result in better outcomes, including access points and continu ity. For this reason, the recommendation below suggests a FLUE designation that allows rezone applications for C-1 uses as well as conditional uses in this corridor. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 35 of 220 101 Conditional Uses Conditional use opportunities in Golden Gate Estates include churches, social and fraternal organizations, child care and adult day care centers, private schools, group care facilities (such as nursing homes and assisted living facilities) and model homes. As conditional uses, they are generally appropriate if compatible with neighboring uses, and should be limited as to location and number. A GGAMP allowance for conditional use provides a right to seek approval, not a right for the use at any location. Typically, if granted, conditional uses are subject to numerous conditions of development and operation. The GGAMP allows conditional use applications for properties designated as residential. However, the locational criteria are extremely limited, except for essential services. The Neighborhood Center Transitional Conditional Use provisions allow such applications if immediately adjacent to a designated Neighborhood Center (there are 4 in total). The Transitional Conditional Use provisions allow applications for conditional uses if adjacent to some, but not all non -residential uses. In addition, there are further restrictions along Golden Gate Parkway from Livingston to Santa Barbara Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 36 of 220 102 and on the west side of Collier Blvd. The limited availability for conditional use applications can be gleaned from the analytic Figures 19, 20 and 21. The areas marked in yellow indicate conditional use potential under the current GGAMP. Because Golden Gate Estates is 50% built out, it is likely that additional locations would be useful for conditional uses as development progresses. With this in mind, staff sought public feedback on the possibility of expanding location potentials. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 37 of 220 103 Arterial Intersections Surveys in the rural Estates indicated a preference to allow some additional potential CU locations if limited as to location and type. A majority stated that additional CUs should be allowed at more locations, and specifically allowed at arterial intersections (described as 4 or more lane roads intersected by 4 or more lane roads). Slightly less than half of those surveyed in the urban Estates thought that CUs should be considered at major intersections (45% v. 50%). While suitability of land use underlies this recommendation, we note that there is a possibility that the conversion of use from residential to conditional use could potentially increase future ROW acquisition costs for future road expansion. A compilation of the intersections that would qualify as include: Rural Estates • Everglades Blvd. and Oil Well Rd. • Golden Gate Blvd. and Collier Blvd. (east quadrants) • Vanderbilt Beach Rd. and Wilson Blvd. (future) Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 38 of 220 104 • Everglades Blvd. and Randall Rd. (future) • Wilson Blvd. and Immokalee Rd. (future, south quadrants) Urban Estates • Logan Blvd. and Pine Ridge Rd. • Golden Gate Pkwy. and Santa Barbara Blvd. (west quadrants) • Logan Blvd. and Vanderbilt Beach Rd. (future, SW quadrant only) (Note: “future” designation derived from 2040 LRTP) Based on this recommendation, a total of 6 quadrants in the rural Estates could qualify for CU application, not considering current land uses at those locations. An additional 10 quadrants could support conditional use applications in the rural Estates, based on improvements indicated in the MPO’s LRTP. In the urban Estates, a total of 6 quadrants could qualify for CU application not considering current uses. An additional quadrant could qualify based on the MPO’s LRTP. Public opinion differed when individuals spoke about church uses. Opinions ranged from allowing churches along major road corridors to eliminating any additional locations for churches. Staff’s recommendation, below, is the addition of the major arterial intersections (as defined) as a locational criterion for CU applications; plan language would allow parcel assemblage where minimum ingress/egress requirements dictate. The CU applicant should demonstrate the need for the requested acreage in the context of the intended use and facilities and ingress/egress recommendations. Golden Gate Parkway and Collier Blvd. Special Provisions As noted in the Related Existing Provisions section, below, there are special provisions related to Golden Gate Parkway and Collier Blvd. frontages. As described above, the only change to the Golden Gate Parkway provisions would be a change allowing CU applications for properties located at the corner of Golden Gate Parkway and Santa Barbara Blvd. The two quadrants at that location are currently zoned PUD or CU. With respect to the Collier Blvd. Special provisions, the GGAMP currently requires adjoining conditional uses on two sides, rather than the transitional conditional use provision requiring certain non-residential uses on one side only. Staff observes that, during a public hearing for a zoning change request at 13th Ave SW and Collier Blvd, a conditional use was not available under the GMP due to this provision. However, the property in question was located next to an industrial type (PUD) use, Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 39 of 220 105 which could make a CU a suitable transition to adjoining residential. For this reason, the recommendation below would remove the Collier Blvd. Special Provision. We also note that this specific recommendation was not vetted during public outreach workshops. Accordingly, this fact should be noted during the Transmittal process. Communication Towers Communication towers are listed conditional uses in Golden Gate Estates. As such, they are limited to the locational criteria found in the Designation Description section. The available locations for cell towers are extremely limited, as these are not “essential services” as defined in the Land Development Code. As technologies quickly advance, the applications for communication transmission devices may look considerable different in just a few years than they do today. Individual consideration of proposed installations should be reviewed in each instance. A solid majority of residents surveyed, both in the rural Estates and the urban Estates, indicated dissatisfaction with existing cell service. Over 75% of the rural estates resident s surveyed believed that communication towers should be conditional uses, available at any location in the Estates. The recommendation below retains this land use as a conditional use, requiring application, notice and public hearing, but available for application at any location in the Estates (at least 2.25 acres in size). Conditional Use Acreage At present, conditional uses are generally limited to 5 acres. Although not specifically queried in public outreach, staff sees the 5-acre limitation as creating problems similar to the acreage limitations within currently approved Neighborhood Centers. Th e issues noted there are adequacy of stormwater retention, buffering, parking, roadway needs and septic provisions. In some cases, the current 5-acre standard may prove sufficient. However, applicants may wish to request a greater acreage. This request would remain subject to the public hearing requirements of the Conditional Use, but the provision for greater acreage in the GGAMP would relieve the applicants from amending the GMP to creating otherwise unnecessary sub-districts. Rather than suggesting 20 acres as recommended by the GGEACA for Neighborhood Centers, a more modest 10 -acre maximum is recommended. If embraced, staff also supports enhanced buffering requirements similar to those required for the Neighborhood Centers. Public Facilities In addition to the growing transportation network in and near the Estates, numerous public facilities serve Estates residents. The eastern Estates is served by: two high schools, several elementary and Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 40 of 220 106 middle schools; three fire stations; 2 EMS stations; Sheriffs stations; a library; community parks and a regional park under design. Additional public facilities are planned to accommodate the growth in population, as monitored by the County’s Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) and coordinated through the Growth Management Department and associated County departments, including the Collier County School District and independent agencies. With regard to public facilities as a land use, members of the public stressed compatibility within a predominantly residential area. Specifically, there is interest in developing rural architectural standards for public buildings as well as other non -residential structures. A unified architectural standard can provide a greater sense of identity to the Estates District. In addit ion, there is interest in updating development standards such as setbacks and buffers, particularly as public uses intensify at existing or future locations. Firebreak Staging and Park and Ride Park and ride facilities are essentially parking areas that can serve several purposes. As many rural estates residents commute to the urban area for daily work, or for occasional shopping and entertainment, a park and ride area can support voluntary ride sharing to and from proximate urban locations. Ride sharing applications for mobile devices have emerged as a helpful tool for commuters. At an appropriate time, bus/transit service could also serve these locations. The importance of park and ride and ride sharing for community-wide benefits was underscored by the Master Mobility Plan (accepted by Board, 2012) and by ULI in their review of housing affordability (2017). Additionally, as part of the initiative to support natural disaster prevention and response programs, portions of these facilities could be used for staging equipment, vehicles and operations. Nearly 40% of the citizens polled reported that they would consider using such facilities. It is suggested that the County consider appropriate locations for these facilities, with locational criteria including direct access to arterial roadways and buffering, and apply for Board approval through the Conditional Use public hearing process. Adjacent Future Land Use Districts The eastern Estates is bounded by The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (RFMUD) on 2 sides and the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) on another. There are two essential parameters of interest to eastern estates residents. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 41 of 220 107 First, residents are very enthusiastic about the possibility of more robust economic development in the RFMUD and RLSA. Residents desire more proximate commercial areas for shopping and services, and want employment opportunities. For these reasons, residents were highly supportive of RFMUD Village centers, RLSA towns, and freestanding business and industrial park locations in these Districts. The potential for eastern Estates residents to shop and work within shorter distances and outside of the urban area is a great benefit to them, and this advantage redounds to County taxpayers through reduced miles travelled, lower capital and maintenance costs for roads, and a reduced carbon footprint. Second, eastern Estates residents desire compatibility of uses where adjoining Districts develop adjacent to the Estates. Enhanced buffers and setbacks are suggested at the interface of t hese Districts. These development standards will be specified by LDC review and amendment, and reflected in the Policies of the GGAMP. Notice Provisions Although not discussed in the Restudy outreach workshops, staff has observed past private petitions that involved Estates re-designation and rezoning. In the Estates, written notice provisions related to Neighborhood Information Meetings (NIMs) and public hearings extend 1,000 feet from the property lines of the project (compared to 500 feet in the urban area). In reality, affected Estates residential uses may extend the length of a dead-end street. A typical dead-end street in the Estates is approximately one mile. Accordingly, many affected residents are not provided with written notice. The recommendation associated with this topic would require written notice beyond 1,000 feet, where traffic impacts can be reasonably anticipated, as a result of the land use change, on a dead - end street or avenue in the Estates. In such a case, notice should be provided along the entire length of the affected street or avenue. Growth Management Plan Policies Related Existing Provisions in the GGAMP: Objective 5.3: Provide for the protection of the rural character of Golden Gate Estates. Objective 1.2 Ensure public facilities are provided at an acceptable level of service Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 42 of 220 108 Goal 3: To provide for basic commercial services for purposes of serving the rural needs of Golden Gate Estates residents, shortening vehicular trips, and preserving rural character. Existing Land Use Designations (synopsis) Neighborhood Center Subdistrict: Recognizing the need to provide basic goods, services and amenities to Estates residents, Neighborhood centers have been designated on the Golden Gate Area Future land use map. T he Neighborhood Center designation does not guarantee that commercial zoning will be granted. The designation only provides the opportunity to request commercial zoning. 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: … b) Golden Gate Parkway and Collier Blvd. Special Provisions: … c) Neighborhood Center Transitional Conditional Uses Provisions: … d) Transitional Conditional uses: … Recommended Policies: • Protect the low-density character of the Estates by resisting private petitions to change the GGAMP existing residential land use designations in the GGAMP, other than the limited locations described below. • Allow applications for rezoning to upsize existing Neighborhood Centers to accommodate ingress and egress, parking, buffering, water management, well, septic or package plant siting, future right-of way expansion or additional open space not to exceed 20 acres per quadrant. This provision does not guarantee that upsizing will be granted, but provides an opportunity to request commercial rezoning based on the above-stated needs. • Allow conditional use or C-1 rezone applications for the Immokalee Rd. corridor (Oaks area). This provision does not guarantee approval, but allows appl ication without amendment to the GMP (5 parcels affected). • Add an additional locational criterion for conditional uses to include major roadway intersections, defined as the intersection of a 4-lane roadway (or greater) with a 4-lane roadway (or greater), as identified in the Long-Range Transportation Plan. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 43 of 220 109 • Adjust the Golden Gate Parkway Special Provisions to allow conditional use applications for properties at the intersection of Golden Gate Pkwy. and Santa Barbara Blvd. • Adjust the Collier Blvd. Special Provisions to allow the same locational criteria as currently allowed at other locations in Golden Gate Estates. • Allow conditional use applications at any location (of at least 2.25 acres) in Golden Gate Estates for the erection of communication towers, without need to amend the GGAMP. • Develop architectural standards in the Land Development Code that apply to commercial, conditional and public facility uses in the rural Estates to create coherence and area identity that reflect the rural character of the area. • Seek public acquisition of appropriate parcels, with conditional use approval, for “park and ride” uses, to serve private carpooling, public transit and emergency prevention and response program activities. • In its review and adoption of GMP amendments to the RFMUD and the RLSA, the County should reflect the need for appropriate buffers and setbacks from adjoining Golden Gate Estates properties, with specific development standards in the LDC. • Where GMP Amendments or Rezoning actions require written notice to homeowners within a given distance of the subject parcel, notice requirements shall also be extended the length of any dead-end street or avenue where a direct transportation or aesthetic impact can be reasonably anticipated. • Following the completion of the Randall Boulevard and Oilwell Road Corridor Study, the Zoning Division shall evaluate the future land uses along Immokalee Road in the vicinity of Randall Boulevard and Oil Well Road and make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners for any proposed changes to the future land use. Transportation and Mobility Estates residents expressed their views on several transportation-related topics. Among other issues, peak hour conditions capture the attention of residents who face congestion on a recurring basis. Beyond immediate concerns, the public expressed preferences for long term considerations. These include bridge priorities, I-75 access, lime rock roads, route alternatives, greenways and pathways, road design and park and ride facilities. Many transportation projects are expressed in existing Plan language. Augmentation of these provisions are suggested to convey preference and direction for future consideration. At the heart of the transportation discussion is the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), adopted in 2015 by the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). Of note , as shown on Figure 22, within the road network are planned improvements to Wilson Blvd. North and South, as well as the extension of Vanderbilt Beach Rd. to 8th Ave, NE. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 44 of 220 110 The Collier MPO is a federally mandated and federally funded transportation policy-making organization and is made up of representatives of local governing bodies. The MPO has the authority to plan, prioritize, and select transportation projects for federal funding appropriated by the US Congress through the US Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration. In addition to Estates residents, Collier County citizens, taxpayers and visitors are also stakeholders in the transportation and mobility concepts involving Golden Gate Estates. The synergy expected between the surrounding Rural Fringe Mixed-Use District and Rural Land Stewardship Area village and town development with the largely resident ial Estates area is a prime example. Retail, service and job opportunities in and around future towns and villages will result in shorter trip lengths for current and future Estates residents, when compared with trip lengths today. In addition Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 45 of 220 111 to shorter trip lengths, north-south and reverse direction trips, particularly at peak hours, will be a positive factor in road infrastructure demand and resulting levels of service. This synergy was also highlighted in recommendations in the County’s Master Mobility Plan (MMP), accepted by the Board in 2012. Recommendation #3 in the MMP calls for incentivized goods, services and jobs in Neighborhood Centers, the RFMUD Villages and the Orangetree Settlement area to reduce the vehicle miles travelled by estates residents. Mobility related to the Estates is also addressed by Recommendation #9, enhanced localized connectivity through bridges and other connectors, and by Recommendation #13, development of park and ride lots. These concepts are further discussed below. As noted on the 2040 LRTP cost feasible plan, the MPO has designated additional study areas in and around the Estates. The Randall Rd./Oil Well Rd. study is currently underway. The North Belle Meade Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 46 of 220 112 study area is not yet funded. Staff recommends funding f or route alternatives study of the North Belle Meade east/west corridors in order to accommodate area planning efforts in the North Belle Meade Receiving area and to provide linkage for Estates residents travelling to south Collier County and the urban area. Funding will need to be identified for alignment, design and ROW acquisition. Bridge Connectivity within Golden Gate Estates Existing GGAMP objectives stress the importance of increasing linkages within the local road system to reduce traffic on arterial roadways, shorten trips and increase overall road capacity. In addition, coordination with emergency services officials is mandated for County staff and MPO. In August 2008, the Collier County Transportation Services Division produced the East of 951 Horizon Study for Bridges. The study included stakeholder input from Emergency service providers, environmental groups and other County Divisions. The study considered emergency service response times, evacuation needs, public service efficiencies, general mobility improvements and public sentiment. Design and cost considerations were components of the study, but costs have increased significantly since that study was completed. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 47 of 220 113 The outcome of the study prioritized eleven bridge construction projects in eastern Golden Gate Estates. Subsequently, three (3) bridges have been programmed : • 8th St. NE at Cypress canal (fully funded) • 16th St. NE at Cypress Canal (partially funded) • 47th Ave NE at Golden Gate Canal (partially funded) Staff is currently seeking full funding via gas tax revenue funding for the 16th St. NE and 47th Ave. NE bridges. Each bridge costs approximately $8m to $9m (2016 figures) to construct. During public outreach, the GGEACA urgently requested consideration for a fourth high pr iority bridge, located at 10th Ave. SE at the Faka Union canal. This request was based on public safety concerns, in the contexts of emergency response and emergency evacuation. The recommendation was endorsed by North Collier Fire and Rescue. For this rea son, the initial recommendation below calls for an update to the bridge study within the next 2 years. As of this writing, County staff has begun planning for the public outreach associated with the updated study. A provision currently in the GGAMP specifically calls for the construction of a north-south bridge on 23d St., SW, as one of three alternatives to address emergency evacuation. As emergency services and evacuation concepts will be foremost in the bridge evaluation and update, this provision is recommended for removal from the GGAMP. Concerns were raised about the cost components of sidewalks and bike lanes on and leading to all bridges, both with respect to right-of-way acquisition and construction. Therefore, the updated study should include prioritization, design alternatives and cost components. The requirement for sidewalks and bike lanes leading to new bridges should be reviewed in the context of the individual bridge location. Eight of the initial eleven bridges are depicted on Figure 24. Additional locations will be studied as part of the Bridge Study Update. I-75 Interchange The GGAMP currently calls for coordination between the County and FDOT to implement a study of a potential interchange “in the vicinity of I-75 and Everglades Blvd.” In 2012, the County petitioned FDOT to consider an interchange through the submission of an Interchange Justification report (IJR). At that time, FDOT concluded that it could not recommend forwarding the IJR to the federal Highway Administration. Subsequently, the Board approved a course of action that would request emergency access to I-75 (now approved), consider an updated IJR between 2020 and 2025, and to “continue Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 48 of 220 114 to work with FDOT, other permitting agencies and NGOs to complete an environmental impact assessment and mitigation plan”. By the use of the term “in the vicinity of I-75 and Everglades Blvd., staff understands this as allowing alternative locations within Sections 31 through 34, T49 S, R28 E, and proposes this specificity for the GGAMP. Accordingly, the current GGAMP language should be updated to include the IJR submission in coordination with the MPO and its LRTP, and continuation of environmental assessments in coordination with all stakeholders, if feasible from a cost/benefit standpoint. It should be noted that emergency (limited) access to I-75 was granted subsequent to the 2012 IJR submission. In addition to I-75 access, concerns were raised by residents and by the GGEACA regarding traffic conditions on Everglades Blvd. The residents and association would like to protect against the possibility of expanding Everglades Blvd. beyond 4 lanes. For this reason, a recommendation appears below to limit expansion of Everglades Blvd. to no more than 4 lanes, as shown on the 2040 LRTP Needs Assessment. At a GGEACA meeting in November 2017, it was suggested that the 4-lane design maximum apply to all future roads to and through Golden Gate Estates. That idea does not appear as a recommendation because its more appropriate path for consideration is through the Collier County MPO. Lime Rock Roads The GGAMP calls upon the Transportation Department to explore alternative financing methods to accelerate paving of lime rock roads in the Estates. As of 2016, there were 29 miles of unpaved roads remaining in the Estates. At the current rate of nearly 3 miles per year, all lime rock roads would be paved in approximately 10 years. Residents have commented that an acceleration of paving may be more cost -efficient. Lime rock roads require maintenance costs that may be somewhat higher than paved roads. Additionally, the added ad valorem revenue potential from home values that appreciate due to improved road access may also influence the cost/benefit assessment. Staff recommends that the County update the study the relative costs and benefits of paving lime rock roads on an accelerated basis, and provide the study result to the Board with 2 years of adoption. More recently, the BCC embarked on a budgeting schedule that would provide sufficient funds over a three-year period to complete the paving of lime rock roads. Accordingly, the recommendations Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 49 of 220 115 include an alternative recommendation that the County will budget for the completion of paving in fiscal years 2018 through 2020. Greenways The GGAMP calls for a public network of greenway corridors that connect public lands and permanently protected green space, emphasizing use by non-motorized vehicles and using the existing or future public rights-of-way. The Collier MPO 2012 “Comprehensive Pathways Plan” provides the vision for a Greenways and Trails Program as a separate network from the overall Pathways Program. It notes that the provision of off -road facilities addresses safety and comfort concerns of pedestrians and bicyclists. This would allow a more focused approach to greenways and the identified entity to secure funding and expertise. As noted in the public outreach surveys, a majority of citizens favor the retention of this concept to create a greenways program. The GGAMP policy should be updated, however, to encourage coordination between the County Parks and Recreation Division and the MPO to identify areas of responsibility in planning, funding and implementation of a greenway plan. Road Design Eastern Estates residents commented on various aspects of road design for both new and expanded roadways. As communicated through the GGEACA, preferences include a rural road design without curbs and gutters, Florida Friendly (depressed) medians to the extent landscaping would be employed, and a preference for eminent domain on one side of an existing local street rather than partial takings on both sides. While these preferences are noted here, the MPO and the County Transportation Division design with specific site requirements that vary from one location to another. Moreover, these elements are best suited for review and public comment under the statutory public vetting requirements of those agencies. As such, the GGAMP should remain silent on these design preferences. Park and Ride Lots See Land Use/Non-residential Uses.

Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 54 of 220 120 Watershed and Related Water Resource Topics In 2011, the Board accepted the Collier County Watershed Management Plan (WMP), which was developed over several years by staff and consultants. The WMP covered the major basins within Collier County, including the Golden Gate/Naples Bay Watershed. The underlying study included an evaluation of the surface water and groundwater, wetlands and related environmental resources, and the performance of the current water management facilities in providing the desired levels of services for flood control, water supply, water quality and environmental protection. It recommended initiatives that would serve as a guide for staff in developing policies, programs, ordinances and regulations for further consideration by the Board. The major water resource concerns identified for the GGAMP region include: • Excessive fresh water discharges from canals into Naples Bay • Lack of appropriate levels of flood protection • Pollutant loading associated with development and land use activities • Aquifer impacts due to reduced recharge and increased withdrawals Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 55 of 220 121 Notably, among the WMP ranking of projects for ben efit to cost ratio, the Golden Gate Estates Flowway Restoration project scored highest. Accordingly, the North Golden Gate Estates (NGGE) Flowway Restoration Project ensued. Its purpose was to reconnect the primary wetland flowways in the Estates area, particularly the major wetlands of Horsepen Strand and Winchester Head for eventual restoration of the flowway connection from NGGE to the historic Henderson Creek/Belle Meade watershed as shown on Figure 25. The Study was completed in 2013, funded in part by FDEP and SFWMD. As a result of the Study, the historic and remnant flowway connections were identified and a plan was recommended. As a first phase of its implementation, 42 new culverts were installed in selected sections of NGGE and the project was completed in August 2014. The study also yielded a conceptual design for diversion of stormwater into North Belle Meade. In 2016, as part of an application for BP settlement “RESTORE” funds, the Collier County Comprehensive Watershed Improvement Plan was developed and accepted by the Board. This plan, co-sponsored by Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, outlines a rehydration effort designed to provide greater balance between the Rookery Bay and Naples Bay estuaries, through diversion of a portion of Golden Gate Canal flows to the Belle Meade area. The RESTORE funds are intended to aid in design and implementation of the project. A depiction of the area in relation to watersheds appears in Figure 26. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 56 of 220 122 In 2017, as part of the implementation of a non-structural WMP recommendation, the Board adopted newly revised surface water maximum allowable discharge rates, now applied to development in 16 additional County basins, including the main Golden Gate Canal Basin. The reduced allowable discharge rates convey County-wide benefits, but it should be noted that they do not apply to single family parcels, such as those previously platted in Golden Gate Estates. Additionally, the Board amended stormwater standard s in 2017, directly impacting Estates lot development. The amendment requires a stormwater plan for all lots and provides a new threshold for engineered plans based on percentage of impervious lot coverage. This addresses site specific issues but does not address area-wide stormwater concerns. The aquifers beneath the Estates provide potable water supplies to residents of the Estates, and to customers of the two major public water utilities serving City of Naples and County residents. In meetings with Golden Gate Estates residents and with the GGEACA, a strong preference emerged regarding conservation principles related to the protection of water resources. Ideas and support for those ideas included wetland preservation initiatives and aquifer health. Residents and community leaders value the relationships among components of water policy: floodplain management (dispersion and diversion), water quantity and quality, aquifer recharge, salt water intrusion and estuary health. The following subsections reflect ideas and comments presented by residents and considered by County staff. Necessarily, most of these ideas will require additional study and debate, and therefore appear as aspirational recommendations. Lot Combinations Most of Golden Gate Estates was platted into 5 acre tracts by Gulf American Land Corporation (GAC), the developer of the Estates, although many larger and smaller lots were also platted . The Land Development Code currently allows lot splits into parcels no smaller than 2.25 acres with frontage of at least 150 feet. However, that was not always the case. Smaller lot splits were allowed in the past: prior to Oct. 14, 1974 in the former “Coastal Area Planning District” and prior to Jan. 5, 1982 in the former “Immokalee Area Planning District”. These legal non-conforming lots (sometimes referred to as “band-aid lots”) abound in the Estates, both in the western area, Figure 27, and in the eastern area, Figure 28. Of the 27,250 total parcels in the Estates, 7,275 are non-conforming. Of those, 3,397 (nearly half) are not yet developed. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 57 of 220 123 Citizens and representatives of the GGEACA suggested that these lots might be re -combined, if possible, through an incentive- based system. The rationale behind recombining these smaller lots relates to water benefits- watershed, floodplain, aquifer and estuary related. It has been said by a former District 5 Commissioner, that protection of this low-density area translates to a “County DRGR (density reduction, groundwater recharge) area without cost to the County.” It follows that further density reduction in the Estates can enhance these benefits. Larger lot sizes with relatively less impervious area generate less run-off per lot, and contribute to surface water attenuation, water quality benefits, floodplain storage capacity, aquifer recharge and less flow or “pulse” to canals and estuaries. Ideas to incentivize small lot recombination have included tax incentives, impact fee reduction and credits for stormwater stewardship, if a stormwater utility is created. Not all potential solutions will suit every situation. For example, it would be possible to recombine vacant parcels to create a larger parcel with any of the above suggestions. On the other hand, combining a vacant 1.14-acre parcel with another developed lot takes impact fee credits out of the equation. Moreover, the legal and fiscal basis for implementing incentives requires further study and Board direction. Ad valorem tax abatement would require a referendum before County voters. Impact fee credits may necessarily require a study to keep overall impact fees in a neutral revenue position. The costs and benefits of all incentives need further study to determine fiscal impact and Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 58 of 220 124 quantifiable benefits. For these reasons, the recommendation related to this initiative supports further study within a defined time period to implement any incentives for recombination. Following the study, if the Board directs implementation, its provisions would be contained in the Land Development Code or Code of Ordinances. Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) credits in the Estates Community Planning staff attended numerous Comprehensive Watershed Improvement Plan Ad Hoc Technical Advisory Board (CWIP) meetings, exchanging concepts related to the existing TDR program (RFMUD) and potential Golden Gate Estates initiatives. One idea that gained attention was the potential issuance of TDR credits as part of a sale or donation proposal for parcels within current or future acquisition areas. The examples of two specific wetland sites, Red Maple Swamp and Winchester Head within the Conservation Collier acquisition areas were discussed and studied. The “Gore” properties and surrounding area could also be considered. The CWIP committee understood its role as a technical advisory committee, and not a policy advisory committee. Accordingly, by motion at its March 7, 2017 meeting, CWIP recommended the concept of using TDRs for acquisition of select wetland parcels as “consistent with CWIP goals in improving the floodplain, surface hydrology, aquifer recharge and connectivity of the watershed”. In the Committee’s view, a recommendation beyond consistency would have exceeded their scope. In the meantime, the Board considered the idea of external (outside of RFMUD Sending lands) sources of TDR credits at its RFMUD Workshops in January, May and June of 2017. Staff had Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 59 of 220 125 recommended a modest allowance of TDR credits as part of an acquisition program in Golden Gate Estates, if the number of credits would have a nominal effect on overall TDR supp ly and price. Staff also noted that implementation could be difficult within the same RFMUD currency or domain, because property values are much different in the Estates as compared to RFMUD Sending Lands. The Board did not reach any consensus on this issu e, but held it open for later discussion. Given the complexity of the evaluation and completion of the RFMUD Restudy, staff is now of the opinion that acquisition of Estates lots for stormwater benefits using RFMUD TDR credits should not be pursued. As stated by some RFMUD stakeholders, a closed system, at least on the supply side, should be more predictable while avoiding the dilution of currency to Sending Land owners. One alternative is the further study of a second credit system, (Transfer of Developm ent Units or TDUs), which could direct Estates density values to urban development. This could be considered in the context of County (or other agency) ownership of quality wetland or high habitat value locations. The related recommendation, below, suggests an evaluation in a timeframe directed by the Board. Dispersed Water Management The Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association has also been in favor of the concept of dispersed water management (DWM) as a means of attenuating stormwater to the benefit of residents. The typical Estate lot is 660 feet deep, encouraging the owner to construct a home and accompanying impervious areas (driveways, parking, etc.) close to the roadway. This leads to stormwater run -off to roadside swales with eventual conveyance to the nearest primary or secondary canals. Several recent studies (including the Watershed Management Plan (2011), have indicated that the present system of conveyance and treatment of stormwater run -off in the Estates is deficient in providing the desired levels of service for flood protection, water quality improvement, groundwater recharge, fire protection and restoration of historic flowways. Protection of water resources in this area is critical to the health of the public water supply, including wellfields for Collier County and the City of Naples. The road and drainage infrastructures have virtually eliminated some of the historic wetland flowways, leading to exotic infestation, draw-down of the water table and severity of wildfires. As the extent of impervious area continues to grow, the antiquated canals and swales cannot fully accommodate runoff, leading to frequent nuisance flooding. Major structural modifications to the current conveyance system does not appear feasible, either environmentall y, economically, or socially (if private property rights are encroached). Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 60 of 220 126 DWM is a means to reduce the full impact of single family development on water resources and management. To the extent that homeowners can attenuate stormwater runoff in quantity and quality before it reaches swales and canals, the better County water goal s may be achieved. To be sure, DWM is not a “one size fits all” solution. Parcels with very little wetlands on or nearby may be able to detain some water toward the back of the lot, so long as detention is very temporary, its elevation is sufficiently above the wet season water table and does not interfere with the proper functioning of septic systems. Properties with high percentages of wetland areas might require an engineered solution and/or an incentive-based approach to convey drainage easements to the County at relevant locations. The best proposal for DWM on single family Estates lots will be simple to understand and apply. Consideration should be given to regulatory approaches (required detention or limited fill quantity) and incentive-based approaches and whether to apply various rules to developed and undeveloped properties. Among other ideas, abatement of stormwater utility billing can be considered. Study and public input on a regulatory approach for new home construction should be included. The Restudy recommends a formal study of solutions that will be equitable, reasonable in cost, and understandable to land owners. The study feasibility should commence as funding becomes available. At its meeting on November 8, 2017, the Floodplain Management Advisory Committee found, by motion, that DWM would be an important feasibility study for application to the Estates. Potential of the C-1 Canal and other Golden Gate Canal Relievers The GGEACA spoke in favor of further improvements to the connector C-1 canal. The C-1 connector provides a 1.7 mile east-west link from the Golden Gate Main Canal to the Miller Canal. Due in part to numerous crossings that have constrained its effectiveness, the C-1 has historically played a minor role, serving as an equalizer depending on the head differential between the Golden Gate and Miller Canals. In view of its strategic location, improvements to the canal’s capacity could add operational flexibility and allow Golden Gate Main outflows to be moved south by the Miller Canal. In addition, this initiative would also require design and placement of an in-line gated structure to control flow exchanges, and ensure that desired flow directions are achieved. The concept of Aquifer Storage and Recovery systems was also encouraged by the GGEACA to divert wet season flows from the Golden Gate Canal. This is another capital-intensive initiative, and the Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 61 of 220 127 County should continue to study costs, feasibility and possible implementation as a lon g-term beneficial initiative. Finally, flood control can be more easily measured, predicted and accommodated by coordinating with the South Florida Water Management District to review their Level of Service Standards for primary water management canals within the County. Educational Components Many of the concepts noted above or measures currently in place should be augmented by public education efforts where possible. Residents, potential buyers and builders of single family homes in the Estates would be well served by a better understanding of water-related issues and programs, and how these serve their self-interests. Wetland maintenance, aquifer recharge, floodplain protection and Firewise concepts should be stressed. As an example, builders and land owners should become aware of the benefits of adding “freeboard” to building plans, which will provide even greater flood prevention beyond current base flood elevations (BFE) standards, as well as providing National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) discounts in premium. Other Watershed Management Plan Initiatives The structural (S) and non-structural (NS) projects listed in the table below were derived during the development of the County’s Watershed Management Plan, and have particular relevance to Golden Gate Estates. These projects have the potential to benefit the Golden Gate Estates community by addressing flood control, water supply, water quality, and environmental protection and restoration.

The Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 64 of 220 130 recommendations include language in support of these concepts, and staff believes that the Conservation Collier recommendation should be fully vetted during the public hearing process.

Generally: Conservation and Coastal Management Element Capital Improvement Element Stormwater Management Sub-element Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 65 of 220 131 Recommended Policies • The County will continue to pursue the Watershed Management Plan initiatives as financial and staff resources become available. • The County will periodically coordinate with the South Florida Water Management District to review the Level of Service Standards for primary water management canals within the County. • The County will encourage the combination of parcels less than 2.25 acres in size with adjacent parcels, to preserve the low-density advantages within Golden Gate Estates. Within 2 years, GMD staff will recommend to the Board potential incentives to apply to developed and undeveloped lots. • The County will evaluate the potential for a second transfer of development units/rights program (TDU) to transfer density from Estates lots to the urban area, and will consider transfer of ownership options, in a timeframe directed by the Board. • The County will commence a formal study on the feasibility of dispersed water management (DWM) for single-family Estates lots, and determine whether a DWM initiative should be voluntary or mandatory and the extent to which the program should apply to developed and undeveloped properties. • The County will continue to identify and implement educational opportunities related to water resources for use by parcel owners, home owners, bu ilders, real estate professionals and the public to aid in understanding and addressing the owner’s financial and personal interests as well as area-wide impacts. • Acquisitions of parcels in Golden Gate Estates by Conservation Collier shall be consistent with Watershed Management Plan objectives, and shall prioritize hydrologic benefits above other review criteria. Wildfire Preparedness According to the Florida Forestry Service, Fire has always been a natural occurrence in South Florida. Sparked by lightning, wildfires cleared old brush and other fuels within forested areas. Biologists know the value of these periodic burns, as habitat and other natural values become refreshed. However, as population has moved further into the “wildlands” and development ha s dried the landscape, wildfires emerge as a very serious threat to people and property. Golden Gate Estates is situated within this urban/wildland interface. Community leaders have been aware of this threat for many years. The “Firewise” standards created for development in the Rural Fringe have been a part of the Land Development Code for well over Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 66 of 220 132 10 years. Policy provisions within the GGAMP are numerous, and have been part of the Master Plan for many years (see existing provisions, below). Concurrent with the GGAMP Restudy, the Board directed the Bureau of Emergency Services (BES) to provide an overview and recommendations related to wildfire risks, responsibilities and funding. In early 2017, current mitigation practices were outlined with recommendations for improvement. It was noted that brush fire calls per year have reached an average of 130. Springtime, 2017 came with hundreds of wildfires across the state, following a severe “dry season” that resulted in area-wide and state-wide drought. Collier County was particularly hard hit. A March wildfire burned over 7,000 acres in Picayune Strand State Forest. In April, the “3d Avenue Fire”, stoked by high winds, tore across the North Belle Meade area and narrowly missed more developed portions of Golden Gate Estates. Thousands of acres burned, thousands were evacuated, and seven homes were lost. At the Board’s direction, a multi-agency technical working group was formed under the existing structure of the Emergency Management Advisory Group. This working group was tasked with making recommendations to the Board by September, 2017, to address priorities for bolstering the County’s defenses against wildfires. It was noted that educational programs continue to provide excellent resources for self-help in mitigating individual property risks. Likewise, the Florida Forestry Service and the Independent Fire Districts, supported by mutual aid, were roundly applauded and appreciated for the excellent work performed in response to these events. While this working group has not reported its findings at time of this writing, funding issues in support of landscape scale mitigation activities will be at the center of attention. Funding for fire Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 67 of 220 133 break creation and maintenance and for prescribed burn activities needs augmentation. Several alternatives have been suggested to supply the Forest Service and Independent Districts with the tools and resources for a higher level of safety, including a Golden gate “fire utility fee” through an MSTU and general revenue funding. Also under review will be Land Development Code standards and Collier County Water Sewer District raw water access issues. Improvements to LDC language or permitting procedures are under review. A number of strategically located raw water wells have already been retrofitted for Fire Department use. As stated by Mr. Dan Summers, Division Director, BES, a community-wide effort to improve wildfire mitigation “is a marathon, not a sprint”. In other words, this is a hazard that must stay on the County’s radar for continual opportunities to enhance and support wildfire mitigation for many years to come. Continual opportunities should consider: • Effective and fair funding options • Resource readiness • Clear legal and procedural boundaries • Notifications and alerts • Mutual aid agreements and Interlocal Agreements • Educational components • Land planning opportunities Growth Management Plan Policies Related Existing Provisions in the GGAMP: GOAL 7: To protect the lives and property of the residents of the greater golden gate area, as well as the health of the natural environment, through the provision of emergency services that prepare for, mitigate, and respond to, natural and manmade disasters.

Recommended Policies: • The County shall explore options for funding of wildfire prevention measures, including funding support for the Florida Forestry Service and Independent Fire Districts, including but not limited to a Golden Gate Estates MSTU and general fund revenue. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 70 of 220 136 • The County will review and update as necessary all interlocal agreements and mutual aid agreements to assure coordination of legal, procedural and educational components of Wildfire prevention. • Update references to Independent Fire Districts. Lighting Standards A recent policy guide created at the request of the Board, entitled “Collier County Lighting Standards”, describes the importance of proper lighting for the health and welfare of County residents: “Well coordinated and designed lighting systems are an effective way to enhance the feeling of security and comfort throughout the County.” This policy guide became effective in 2017, and is intended to be updated periodically as standards and conditions change. It applies to County facilities such as roads, parks, public facilities and utility sites and will be incorporated into new and retrofitted lighting at all such locations. Consistency, economy and best management practices (BMP’s) are underscored. This policy guide mirrors a longstanding desire of Golden Gate Estates residents to protect their rural environment from light pollution. It is important to Estates residents for environmental reasons- both natural and human environments. Safety, aesthetics and the natural environment are fostered by best management practices lighting standards. Currently, the GGAMP provides specific guidance for street, parking and recreational lighting including appropriate fixture types such as “low pressure sodium” lamps. Appropriate shielding is also called out. These standards are well intentioned but in some cases limiting in that lighting technology changes more frequently than the Master Plan. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 71 of 220 137 The desire for “dark sky” lighting standards in the Estates was strong- 90% of the public polled supported “dark sky” lighting standards. The public was not polled as to a voluntary or a regulatory approach. Given the County’s leadership role in researching and updating standards for its own facilities, this research can greatly benefit the Estates residents, both directly as public spaces are improved, and as a template for broader application moving forward. As the County transitions its lighting at new and renovated locations, more feedback and best practices can be discovered. In addition, a study of commercial lighting county-wide is planned. Given these advances, the recommended lighting policies for the Master Plan should reflect a flexible and updated approach. Broad language may be most suitable. More specific provisions will be incorporated into the LDC or referenced therein. Growth Management Plan Policies Related Existing provisions in the GGAMP: Objective 5.1: Provide for new commercial development within Neighborhood Centers. 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 a manner as to prevent or reduce light pollution. In implementing this Policy, the County shall apply the following standards: 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 lamps 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. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 72 of 220 138 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 th e 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. Objective 5.3: Provide for the protection of the rural character of Golden Gate Estates. Recommended Policies: • Eliminate the specificity found in Policy 5.1.1; consider standards for the LDC. • County owned facilities shall comply with the Collier County Lighting Standards. • The County shall continue to coordinate with FDOT and FPL to provide guidance and reach agreement on roadway standards and security lights. • The County will consider lighting standards for commercial and other non -residential uses, and may provide specific Land Development Code standards for such uses within Golden Gate Estates consistent with its rural character and specific lighting zone classifications within. • The County will consider lighting standards for residential locations within Golden Gate Estates within the Land Development Code, and determine whether such standards will be encouraged or mandatory and the extent to which they apply to new or existing residential development. Septic Tank Service Golden Gate Estates is a very low density subdivision, where maximum allowed density is 1 unit per 2.25 acres. Given the cost and in-feasibility of supplying centralized water and wastewater service, residential development relies on well and septic systems. Centralized service was considered during the “East of 951 Services and Infrastructure Horizon Study” (2006). However, the estimated cost per parcel for water and wastewater ($112,000) far exceeded the benefit. Maintenance of septic systems in the Estates requires periodic pumping and removal of septage, among other maintenance costs. Residents expressed the concern over cost of service and legal disposal during the public outreach meetings, suggesting that the County should provide a processing facility within Collier County to keep costs and compliance within check. In addition, the Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 73 of 220 139 transport of this material outside the County typically involves more road miles traveled compared to in-County disposal. In a broader initiative, Collier County has embarked on an initi ative to create a “Bio-solids Management Facility” (BMF). The BMF would ideally result through solicitation for a build, design and operate entity selected by the Board, providing efficient and compliant processing of bio -solids, oils, grease, septage and similar by-products. The likely location for this facility would be the Resource Recovery Business Park located near the landfill. The outcome of the BMF initiative is expected to result in cost effective and environmentally sustainable treatment of these waste streams, producing energy and high quality fertilizer by-products. The BMF solicitation is currently in Step 2 of the solicitation, having narrowed the search to three qualified forms. Step 2 proposals are due in 2017, and an award of contract is an ticipated in early 2018. The selected entity will operate the facility for a minimum of 25 years, and design the facility so that it is expandable for future needs. Septage collection and treatment is part of the RFP; its efficacy is yet to be demonstrated. Growth Management Plan Policies Related existing provisions in the GGAMP: Objective 1.2: Ensure public facilities are provided at an acceptable level of service. Objective 1.3 Protect and preserve the valuable natural resources within the Golden Gate area. Objective 5.2 Balance the provision of public infrastructure with the need to preserve the rural ch aracter of Golden Gate Estates. Recommended Policy: • The County will continue to pursue a best management practices approach to making septage treatment available within Collier County, as a component of bio -solid processing, either directly or through a public private partnership. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 74 of 220 140 Preserve Exemption Currently the GMP and LDC require a portion of the native vegetative present on property to b e set aside as preserve when property is developed. Exceptions to this requirement include single -family home sites situated on individual lots or parcels, single lot splits or where property is used for agricultural purposes. Subdivision of land into three or more lots or parcels requires approval of a subdivision plat, which in turn triggers the requirement for a preserve, among other requirements. As the platting of the Golden Gate Estates predated this requirement, no preserves were required as part of its establishment. There are a limited number of lots within the Golden Gate Estates subdivision (depicted as the Estates Designation on the County’s Future Land Use Map (FLUM)) which could be divided into three or more lots, each a minimum of 2 ¼ acres size. Analysis by staff shows a total of 75 lots remaining in the Estates Designation, north of I-75, which could be subdivided as such (6.75 acres or more). These lots range from 6.78 acres to 12.97 acres, with all but two of these lots less than ten acres in size. Lot splits allow 2 parcels from a single tract, and because a re -plat is not required, lot splits fall squarely within the exemption to a required “preserve” area. Environmental staff believes it excessive to require small preserves for the remaining few lots that could be subdivided into three or more 2.25 acre single family lots. If subdivided as such, preserve requirements for all but two of these would be less than 1.33 acres, assuming they were entirely covered with native vegetation. Long term viability of these preserves is also a concern given their small size and location within a large single-family subdivision, with no other preserves or greenways to provide connection. Moreover, preserve exemptions for a limited number of 3 way splits would be consistent with the requirements of all other (12,000+) undeveloped Estates parcels. Related existing provisions in the GGAMP: Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) Policy 6.1.1: “…native vegetation shall be preserved through the application of the following minimum preservation and vegetation retention standards and criteria…except for single family dwelling units situated on individual parcels…” Note; As interpreted by the LDC, “the single-family exception is not to be used as an exception from any calculations regarding total preserve area for a development containing single family lots” (Sec. 3.05.07 B). Recommended Policy: • The subdivision of tracts 13 acres or less in size within Golden Gate Estates shall not trigger preserve requirements under CCME Policy 6.1.1.

Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 80 of 220 146 Appendix A Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy Public Outreach Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 81 of 220 147 Introduction The Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) public outreach process included extensive public engagement. Residents and stakeholders were encouraged to provide input through multiple platforms including eight public workshops, staff presentations to both the Golden Gate City Civic Association and the Golden Gate Estates Civic Association, a user-friendly website with surveys, and communications through email distribution lists with approximately 330 stakeholders. As the GGAMP has the three distinct areas of Golden Gate City, the Eastern Estates (east of Collier Boulevard) and the Western Estates (west of Collier Boulevard), staff focused outreach to provide individual attention to each area. In this way, staff was able gauge the public’s perspective on unique differences in values and priorities. In part, these values can be visualized with the outcome of the first set of workshops where staff engaged the stakeholders to envision the future. A series of questions were asked through surveys that were distributed during the workshops and were posted on the dedicated GGAMP restudy website. The following word clouds summarize the values and expectations of those who participated in the process. The surveys and word clouds formed the basis for the communities’ vision statements. Staff first drafted the vision statements based on information provided, and at following public workshops the participants refined the statements. The goals, objectives and po licies of the GGAMP should recognize and implement these vision statements. Golden Gate City Vision Statement “Golden Gate City is a safe, diverse, family-oriented community that offers easy access to education, parks, shopping and services within a vibrant, walkable community.” Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 82 of 220 148 Golden Gate Eastern Estate Vision Statement “The Golden Gate Eastern Estates is an interconnected, low-density residential community with limited goods and services in neighborhood centers, defined by a rural character with an appreciation for nature and quiet surroundings.” Golden Gate Western Estate Vision Statement “Golden Gate Western Estates is a low-density, large-lot residential neighborhood in a natural setting with convenient access to the coastal area.” Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 83 of 220 149 Golden Gate Area Master Plan Eastern Estates - Introduction Public Workshop, April 20, 2016 As guests of the Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association Introduction: At the invitation of the Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association (GGEACA), Collier County planning staff introduced the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) restudy which will result in an update to the GGAMP. The purpose of the staff presentation was to identify the major components of the GGAMP, and particularly as it pertains to the Eastern Estates (east of CR 951) area. Emphasis was placed on major themes and the idea that visioning for the future should consider many factors as they contribute to the well-being of the next generation. Meeting Summary: Michael Ramsey, President of the Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association opened the meeting. He greeted elected and appointed County and District officials, as well as various candidates fo r County Commission Districts 5 and 3. Approximately 125 community members or stakeholders attended the meeting. Mr. Ramsey described the purpose of the meeting as an introduction of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan update process, and asked residents to not get sidetracked with other specific topics that are not a part of the GGAMP. As an example, the issue of fracking should not be discussed, as it is not a Master Plan concept. Commissioner Tim Nance provided an overview of GGAMP in the context of other P lanning Restudies and the importance to the Golden Gate area residents. He reminded the group of the relevance of the “green map”, in that 0ver 75% of the County’s area is already in conservation status, and that the Rural Fringe Receiving Areas are among the last development areas left in the County; they can complement the Estates if carefully planned. He indicated that all four Restudy areas would consider the same important elements to help achieve consistency between Restudies: land use; transportation/mobility; water; environment; and economic vitality. He reported that an Oversight Committee has been appointed to help direct public involvement, consistency, sustainability and economic vitality, and introduced Jeff Curl, the Oversight Committee member representing the Golden Gate area. Community Planning Manager Kris Van Lengen provided a PowerPoint presentation, and stated that this would be the first of several GGAMP meetings, and that this first meeting is in the nature of an introduction. Content includes an update of relevant issues in the Rural Fringe Mixed-Use District Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 84 of 220 150 Restudy, concepts currently embedded in the GGAMP, and finally a high-level visioning exercise for the future of the Eastern Estates. Consistent among all Restudies is the planning wheel- a process matrix that describes present plans, public outreach, staff data and analysis, development of alternatives, republication, ultimately with recommendations that reflect stakeholder consensus, and finally re -initiation of public outreach. The process may include several turns if the “wheel” prior to formal public hearings. A reflection of the current progress of the Rural Fringe Restudy included the fact that there was broad support among stakeholders to incentivize uses that are not presently adopted- most particularly free-standing employment centers and sports venues. GGEACA and attendees were encouraged to attend future Rural Fringe meetings- as close neighbors with commercial and mobility issues; they are true stakeholders in that process. The nexus among three Restudy areas, all within 3 miles of North Golden Gate Estates, was also noted, highlighting the total commercial activity in the area that would benefit the Estates while adding no further Golden Gate Estates Neighborhood Centers. A balance is needed among all commercial centers and activities. The discussion on current GGAMP provisions began with an overview of currently scheduled meetings, which will be rotational among Eastern Estates, Western Estates and Golden Gate City. A brief history described the major Restudy between 2001 and 2003 as well as the several private Growth Management Plan amendments that followed. Key features of the current GGAMP, as pertain to the Eastern Estates, were listed under the matrix described by Commissioner Nance. Interpreting the current goals of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan as it relates to the Estates, an “existing vision” was derived and described as a low density residential community with rural character, limited commercial services, safe and efficient roadways, and emergency services coordination. Principal Planner Anita Jenkins provided an interactive visioning session. She began by describing the nature and purpose of a community vision: what the community should look and feel like af ter implementation, as envisioned by residents. After discussing the purpose, Ms. Jenkins challenged the audience to complete brief answers or descriptions to a number of visioning questions: How does the Eastern Estates complement the County as a whole, what is it the best location for, what would you like to read in the newspaper about the area, 10 years from now, what things would you suggest to improve the area? Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 85 of 220 151 Individual slips were distributed throughout, and attendees wrote their visions in answer t o these questions. A total of 45 full sets of questionnaires were returned. A summary of the written comments can be found here. It was announced that the questions would be available on the web site as a survey questionnaire for those that wished to provide input in that manner. Following the exercise, participants were encouraged to share their ideas. Various themes emerged, particularly the preservation of the rural character of the Eastern Golden Gate area. Some spoke in support of a sense of place, including renaming/rebranding the Eastern Estates and the streets, creating institutional and commercial architectural standards that are more suitable for the rural character. Other areas of importance were protecting important watershed areas, and creating greenways. Residents also wanted to discuss the Rural Lands West project, the Habitat Conservation Plan and noted fracking was a concern. Commissioner Nance addressed these topics and noted other venues and agencies will be covering these issues more thoroughly. The Community Planning agenda item on Golden Gate Area Master Plan introduction, concluded at 8:40; the GGEACA meeting agenda items resumed at this time. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 86 of 220 152 Golden Gate Area Master Plan Western Estates - Introduction Public Workshop, May 11, 2016, 6:30 PM Golden Gate Community Center Introduction: Collier County planning staff provided an introduction to the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) restudy which will result in an update to the GGAMP. The purpose of the staff presentation was to identify the major components of the GGAMP, particularly as it pertains to the Western Estates (west of CR 951) area. Emphasis was placed on major themes and the idea that visioning for the future should consider many factors as they contribute to the well -being of the next generation. Approximately 60 people attended. Meeting Summary: Greg Ault, Principal, AECOM, as consultant for public outreach, began by discussing his role in the process and the importance of area-wide planning as we think about future generations. He introduced his staff and County staff, and described his favorable impressions of the area from the point of view of a non-resident. Community Planning Manager Kris Van Lengen provided a PowerPoint presentation, and stated that this would be the first of several GGAMP meetings, and that this first meeting is in the nature of an introduction. Content includes an update of relevant i ssues in the four area Restudies, concepts currently embedded in the GGAMP, and finally a high level visioning exercise for the future of the Western Estates. Consistent among all Restudies is the planning process - one that looks at current provisions and conditions, asks what can be improved, alternatives for improvement, and ultimate decision-making by the Board of County Commissioners. Important focal points include permitted land uses, transportation issues, environment, and economic vitality. Citizens were encouraged to use on-line resources to supplement their understanding and provide input when surveys become available. Mr. Van Lengen presented the idea to study GGAMP in three separate segments: Eastern Estates, Western Estates and Golden Gate City. There were no objections raised to this approach. The history of the GGAMP was discussed, including the fact that ten amendments to the plan have occurred since the last major restudy was completed in 2003. After describing the organization of the GGAMP document, it was noted that the major provisions related to Goals, Objectives and Policies were identical to those of the Eastern Estates; low density, rural character, infrastructure and emergency services needs. Residents might consider whether they wish to emphasize a unique vision and goals. Unlike the Eastern Estates (approximately 50% built out), the Western Estates is 88% built out. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 87 of 220 153 With respect to Land uses, permitted uses and conditional uses were described. Also noted was the special language in the GMP describing the limitation on additional conditional uses along the Golden Gate Parkway. The vast majority of the citizens who attended appeared to live within close proximity to Golden Gate Parkway. Accordingly, there was significant comment from the attendees related to the fact that they do not wish to change any of the current land use restrictions related to Golden Gate Parkway. Mr. Greg Ault asked for a show of hands in favor of no change to the land uses on the Parkway. There was nearly unanimous agreement, as shown in the photos below and by virtue of the responses received in the visioning session. Principal Planner Anita Jenkins provided an interactive visioning session. She began by describing the nature and purpose of a community vision: what the community should look and feel like after implementation, as envisioned by residents. After discussing the purpose, Ms. Jenkins challenged the audience to complete brief answers or descriptions to a number of visioning questions: How does the Western Estates complement the County as a whole, what is it the best location for, what would you like to read in the newspaper about the area, 10 years from now, what things would you suggest to improve the area? Individual slips were distributed throughout, and attendees wrote their visions in answer to these questions. A total of 45 full sets of questionnaires were returned. A summary of the written comments is shown below. It was announced that the questions would be available on the web site as a survey questionnaire for those who wished to provide input in that manner. Attendees expressed a strong desire to maintain the low-density residential character of their neighborhood with no commercial uses.

The purpose of the staff presentation was to identify the major components of the GGAMP, particularly as it pertains to Golden Gate City and environs. Emphasis was placed on major themes and the idea that visioning for the future should consider many factors as they contribute to the well-being of the next generation. The meeting was noticed and 3 electronic signboards were placed in collector roadways in the City for a period of three days. Approximately 25 people attended. Meeting Summary: Community Planning Manager Kris Van Lengen provided a PowerPoint presentation, and stated that this would be the first of several GGAMP meetings, and that this first meeting is in the nature of an introduction.

A brief history described the major Restudy between 2001 and 2003 as well as the several private Growth Management Plan amendments that followed. Key features of the current GGAMP, as Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 92 of 220 158 pertain to Golden Gate City, were described under the 2 major portions of the GMP: Goals, Objectives and Policies, and Land Use Designations. Interpreting the current goals of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan as it relates to the Golden Gate City, an “existing vision” was derived and described as a recognition of distinct neighborhood areas within the City, the value of sub-area plans along with City-wide plans, consideration of a GG City Land Development Code, the importance of connections to the greater Naples area, and a reference to utilit y expansion. Various Land Use categories were described and discussed, most notably the Mixed -Use Activity Center, the Downtown Center Commercial Subdistrict and the Santa Barbara Commercial Subdistrict. The Golden Gate Parkway entryway into the City was also discussed. Questions and comments related to GMP and zoning overlays followed. Of note were comments related to the desire for a focal point within the Activity Center or nearby, roadway concerns and beautification.

The client team introduced the current GGAMP and presented a revised vision statement that was produced as a result of resident visioning questionnaires and surveys. An audience polling session was then conducted to obtain level of support for existing and newly recommended GGAMP policies specific to the Eastern Estates. Meeting Summary: Kris Van Lengen, Planning Manager, presented information on the status of the restudy, prior meetings, area demographics and key topic areas. Anita Jenkins, Principal Planner, presented results of visioning from prior meetings, including the community’s consensus on its distinctive qualities. Audience polling was conducted to obtain level of support for potential new policies and existing policies in a manner that did not require attendees to self-identify with their answers or opinions in a group setting. Results of the audience polling session are attached. Additionally, stakeholders were encouraged to provide comments and feedback through written comment cards and group dialogue. Dialogue and comments received during and af ter the polling session included: • Conditional Uses at arterial intersections o Desire to preserve arterial intersections for potential future commercial as opposed to conditional uses since they are the most desirable to commercial property developers. o Need for larger conditional use parcels to be compatible with the surrounding community. • Transportation and mobility o Desire for an increased rate of road paving. o Concern for increased congestion on Everglades Blvd with a potential I-75 interchange. o Increased need for designated refuge/waiting areas for students waiting for school buses. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 118 of 220 184 o Desire for the interchange to be aligned with RFMUD receiving areas due to future increased population densities. o Concern for the future character of streets adjacent to a potential interchange. o Desire to limit access to or from the interchange. • Desire for larger buffers and setbacks for non-residential uses. • Need for appropriate lighting at rural intersections, without over-lighting entire corridors. • Need for reflective street signage and way finding o Strong concern for an increase of built guest homes and the overall effects on the community and population density if a policy were changed to allow for the lease of guest homes as well as adverse impacts on infrastructure, watershed, and code enforcement. o Desire to make senior centers and wellness centers a conditional use.

However, various sources reveal that there is limited Industrial land which has been retarding the County’s capabilities for investment attraction and expansion 2. This update provides a great opportunity to create an environment to bring more development to the area covered by the Golden Gate Area Master-Plan (GGAMP). Big Boxes are increasingly becoming vacant big–box stores i.e. ‘dark boxes’3 at a time when the GGAMP remains heavily focused on Commercial use. Commercial Zoning is defined by Florida statutes4, to include activities predominantly connected with the sale, rental and distribution of products or performance of services while industrial-use means activities connected with manufacturing, assembly, processing, or storage of products. Industrial-use facilitates greater value-added activities associated with improved jobs and wages, while lower value-added investments usually promoted by commercial use activity, are generally subject to greater job termination, and this seems the opposite of the vision for the GGAMP. Industrial areas would indeed serve as a major economic boost for the county and in the Golden Gate area. However, industrial zoning would require buffers and other ways to separate business use from the residential areas. Heavy industrial-use has been associated with negative community impacts including environmental pollution. Proposing Mixed-use, or allowing certain light-industrial 5 uses as a conditional-use would be a great way to update the GGAMP. Conditional-use would allow for county staff to review and ensure that each proposed use will not negatively impact the surrounding neighborhoods. The main objectives for Golden Gate City could be further promoted and facilitated where the GGAMP includes mixed use and conditional use zoning that promotes light-industrial-uses and business parks in Goals 4 and 5 of the plan. This could also enable greater investments in some of Golden Gate City’s currently unused and underutilized ‘big-box’ spaces e.g. Sweet Bay, Sears and K-Mart. Points: • The 44 respondents included in the GGAMP survey 6 indicated they wanted Golden Gate City to: o facilitate new business as a top priority for improving Golden Gate City’s future; 1 http://www.colliergov.net/home/showdocument?id=66933 2 http://www.colliergov.net/home/showdocument?id=764 3 http://ilsr.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/bbtk-factsheet-blight.pdf 4 https://floridaldr.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/relevant-florida-statutes-definitions.pdf 5 Light or limited industrial zoning is intended for lands appropriate for low-intensity, light and medium industrial activities. Typical uses include assembly and fabrication industries, warehousing, distribution centers, administrative offices, and business support services that typically do not cause noise, air, or water disturbances or pollution. (see http://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Fairfield/html/Fairfield25/Fairfield2506.html retrieved April 18, 2017. 6 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/17Yols-i6vU-QMxD6RLNvPoW6NbkZFNfjwGJzBWWRgBo/viewanalytics Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 131 of 220 197 Office of Business and Economic Development o be distinctive for middle-class workers and new growth; o be a premier location for investment; • The Office of Business and Economic Development(OBED) reviewed the GGAMP and encourages more mixed or conditional-use zoning that promotes light-industrial activities and business parks. Goals 4 and 5 could be revised to include specific reference to advanced manufacturing, including automated apparel, light assembly and 3D printing, as well as call centers. • Several large retailers, including Payless, K-Mart, Sweet Bay and Sears are closing a significant number of stores in Collier County. That provides an opportunity for timely amendment to the Land Development Code (LDC) development standards and permitted uses that could help to bring new businesses to the area. For example, Sears in Chicago has repurposed a 127,000 square-foot store into a multitenant data center 7. This could be replicated in Golden Gate City if developers were allowed the proposed flexibility in development standards. Currently, there is vacant commercial and retail space, and a revision to the LDC to include mixed or conditional-use developments that promote light- industrial activities and business parks could help to meet resident’s needs. Throughout the nation, transforming plaza districts to mixed-use developments is a growing trend (see http://newsok.com/article/5545159 and http://mixeduse.sochaplazas.com/work/ ). Revising the GGAMP to allow such transitions could help improve the area’s economic competitiveness. Some tracts within Golden Gate Area are designated as Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Zones and mixed-or conditional-use could aid in their development. Action: OBED to- • coordinate with Zoning Division, GGCRA-MSTU and other affected parties at meetings prior to the public workshops this summer to work on discussions and drafting considerations for incorporating greater mixed-and conditional-uses that promotes light- industrial use and business park activities in Goals 4 and 5 of the GGAMP; and • participate in the GGAMP Public Workshops. 7 http://www.triplepundit.com/2013/06/former-sears-kmart-stores-become-data-centers/ Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 132 of 220 198 1 From:Michael Currier <mcurrier@govmserv.com> Sent:Monday, October 17, 2016 11:10 AM To:VanLengenKris Cc:Donna Lizotte; Ron Jefferson; JenkinsAnita Subject:RE: Golden Gate City and FGUA Attachments:GG-MAP SERVICE AREA-W & WW-UPDATED_2011.pdf Follow Up Flag:Follow up Flag Status:Flagged Kris: I am not aware of FGUA sponsored line extensions since purchase in 1999.

I appreciate that you shared maps of your served area for water and wastewater service in Golden Gate City. I have two follow-up requests: 1. Can you provide those maps in PDF format so that the detail and color is more evident? 2. Can you share any examples of extending service to new street areas and how it worked out? For example, number of new residences included, cost per customer for impact fee and connection charge, etc.? Have you made any new connections in the past 10-20 years either in GG City or in your Service area just west in GG Estates? Thanks for helping us understand the underlying issues and business plans of FGUA, and thanks too for planning to meet again with residents at an upcoming Golden Gate Civic Association meeting.

It is a maintenance project to replace the stormwater pipes and catch basins (stormwater inlets) in the 4 square mile GG City only. There are no ponds or new improvements planned. The total estimated construction cost is $15M in 2012 dollars. This amount obviously will be higher by the time is fully constructed due to inflation, construction cost increases, etc… The design costs are approximately 15-20% so that would add an approximate $3M to the 2012 total. Funding will be in small amounts as it is available and budgeted on a yearly basis. The County has requested a $1M FLA legislative earmark for this upcoming session but that is only a possibility of receiving funding. Attached are maps of the 4 Quads plus a relatively recent current conditions map that is mostly up to date. As a side note, we like to call it stormwater management, not drainage or flood control, even though the graphics say otherwise. Thank you.

I am attaching language and a reference map currently contained in our Comprehensive Plan within the Golden Gate Area Master Plan section. This material dates back to 2004. The Subdistrict containing your address is called Downtown Center Commercial Subdistrict. We are in the process of a “restudy”, which means we want to obtain public comments and make changes reflecting public consensus and changed conditions. The area shaded on the map indicates one of many Subdistricts that was identified more than 10 years ago for redevelopment. You can read the language describing the intent. The Future Land Use (FLU) designation is a bit different than zoning. I believe your property is zoned residential. Nevertheless, the FLU would give a property owner the right to request a zoning change, subject to compatibility with surrounding areas and other considerations. As you will be unable to attend the meeting, please feel free to let me know whether you agree with this designation. I infer from your comments that you would prefer that addresses along 23d Ave SW not be a part of this FLU designation. Please feel free to confirm or expand. We will provide written comments to the hearing bodies after we assemble initial recommendations for change. Meanwhile, please feel free to contact me with further questions and comments.

I received your letter yesterday regarding the GGAMP and informing me of the meeting to be held on February 16, 2017 at 5:30 pm. Unfortunately, I work until 5:30 therefore will not be able to attend the meeting. But let this email serve as my comments on the information contained in your letter. Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 136 of 220 202 2 Your letter indicates that my property (which is clearly residential) is “allowed to have commercial uses”. I am hopeful you are not referring to the residential portion of Golden Gate City. I live at 4340 23rd Ave. SW. I have owned the house and resided in the house since 1976. While the entire area and population of Golden Gate City has greatly changed over my 41 years in the area, I cannot and will never agree to this residential area becoming in any way commercial. I am hopeful that when you refer to “commercial property owners”, you are referring to those areas of the City which are already commercial in nature, i.e. 951, the Parkway, Santa Barbara Blvd. etc. I cannot imagine that any portion of the residential areas of the City of Golden Gate would be deemed or somehow turned into a commercial area. As it is now, I live in an area which is now filled with people who are not of the nature as when I first moved into this neighborhood. If I were able to afford it, I would remove myself from this area to an area more to my liking. If this is not the case, please let me know and I will see if I can get the time off to attend your meeting in person. I look forward to hearing back from your office. Thank you. Sandy Sandra B.

I tried and was not successful as to where, so I am sending my thoughts in this email. I do not think you should build in Golden Gate, the people who bought out there were aware of the drive when they bought out in Golden Gate. IF they are willing to accept being very rural and the drive in to retail stores, then that is how they wanted it, or they would not have bought out so far. Please do not build in Golden Gate.

We would love it if Green Blvd could be extended to 16th. We live at what used to be at the corner of White Blvd and 23rd street sw - but now it's a "sweeping curve". Drivers love to speed around that curve and there have been several accidents - they don't all show up in accident reports because they're mostly one car accidents - people being stupid and running into our fence or mailbox- then they leave.

Thanks for the update on the meeting, unfortunately, I have out of town guests coming that day. If things change we hope to attend. My question concerns cell phone towers, which I have been questioning for over fifteen years for our area. It doesn't matter if it is ATT or VERIZON, our area which is directly off 951 between Pine Ridge and Vanderbilt, have limited cell signal. In fact, we built in 1990 and not much has changed near us. When we pass Logan and head towards 951 on Pine Ridge Road, passing Temple Shalom, the signal has always cut out and becomes garbled. My friends know my location while driving when I am on the phone as I pass. Also, the fairly new Publix at 951 and Pine Ridge, is known for no signal once you step inside. Even our street has limited cell reception and we have a unit in our home from ATT to boost cell strength. It is a microcell tower, they call it. I have contacted at numerous times, both cell companies and they inform me a tower is governed by county rules and regulations. They can only be installed on a school, fire station etc grounds. This needs to be looked into and see what areas need the tower, not the best spot for the tower, held by the county. I welcomed one on my nearly three acres years ago. I am not sure if this issue is on the agenda, but needs to be looked into. Come and ride with me for a day and hear how bad the signal is. Is there an agenda at this point, you may send to residents? Thank you and I wait to hear from your office. Have a great day. Mrs. Patrick B.

The extra costs are coming from items such as sidewalks and tiebacks causing additional permitting costs especially in mitigation The #4 bridge needed is a t 10th Ave SE over the Faka Union Canal. This bridge is needed because south of the Golden Gate Blvd the residents on Desoto and Everglades do not have the ability to have Emergency Agencies respond to them in 8 minutes. In many cases the response time is 15 minutes or more. Second there is only 1 evacuation route on for residents of Desoto. This bridge would allow more evacuation options for residents of both Everglades and Desoto south of Golden Gate Blvd. Third the Bridge would allow more access to Palmetto Elementary School as an Evacuation Shelter.

With the many road extensions and expansions slated in future development, now is the time to make plans for wildlife, which many of us in GGE value and consider a quality of life issue. Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension (VBX) has been continually moved forward on the list of projects in the county. Do you know existing natural wildlife corridors will cross this road once it is extended? I hope the county will plan for wildlife underpasses on VBX, and also consider other safeguards to protect the multitude of species which inhabit this area, including protected species such as fox squirrels, gopher tortoises, and Florida Panthers. For all future roads, plans should include the safeguarding of wildlife with underpasses, fences, through education, etc. As you well know, it is easier and more cost effective to get ahead of something like this, then to try to fix something later. Currently, Jim Flanagan (Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association, of which I am also a member) and I are trying to get signage to warn drivers to be on the lookout for bears, panthers, and other wildlife on the roadways. This will also inform newcomers of the existence of bears and panthers in the county, which still comes as a surprise to many GGE residents. Signage of this nature should be a part of the Master Plan. A greenway has been brought up many times in the discussion of the Master Plan. A bicycle and pedestrian trail could be made alongside VBX. An independent trail is what I am suggesting - not a narrow path which is actually part of the road. I hope you will put, or keep, wildlife conservation as a part of the GGE Master Plan. If you need more information on anything I have written, please let me know and I will provide it. It has been my experience that the majority of people living in GGE want wildlife as part of their community. Thank you for considering my thoughts and suggestions. Sincerely, Carol M.

The following concepts were presented for discussion and reviewed at our 11-02-16 GGEACA Board Meeting. We present them to you for discussion and incorporation with the public comments for the GGAMP ReStudy. Further consideration and discussion is also suggested for the challenges and opportunities to allow for “agricultural past-times” and agricultural-related “eco-tourism” in the rural areas. As well, further definition and discussion of home-based businesses and recognizing the impacts to neighbors and infrastructure for certain business operations. The following concepts are consistent with a low-density, low-impact, rural residential community. Further definition of “rural character” and “self-sustainability” will help better define the concepts of community character and practical application that many people who consider Golden Gate Estates their home and why they moved here. The large-lot, low-density woodlands/agricultural environment associated with this unique place is rare among community choices - such is rare in Florida real estate as well as across the United States - and what makes Golden Gate Estates so desirable. Thank you for your leadership in this effort and the opportunity to provide input to the future of our community through the GGAMP ReStudy and the overall Comprehensive Growth Management ReStudy Respectfully, Mike Ramsey, President Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association On behalf of the Board of Directors Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 166 of 220 232 02 November 2016 Page 2 The Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association Inc. PO. Box 990596, Naples, FL 34116-6002 Estates-Civic.org A. Complementary Land Uses 1.) Formal Low Density Overlay for the Rural Estates – eliminate densification of E zoning Benefits: * DRGR/Watershed over 90,000 acres at no cost to the taxpayer Complimentary to Corkscrew Community and Sending lands in RFMUD and RLSA • Well Field Protection – county and municipal (Naples) • Community Character • Secondary habitat transition between Conservation land and development 2.) Incentivize the recombination of 1.14 acre lots (legal non-conforming) Development credit (voluntary TDR program) for use in urban density and infill? See also GGWIP 3.) Update LDC regarding compatibility requirements, setbacks, and buffers for all non-residential uses in the Estates including but not limited to Convenience Commercial, Churches, Schools, utilities. 4.) Update LDC regarding land clearing regulation and setbacks, for all uses to be consistent with Wildfire safety and management recommendations established by the Collier County Fire Districts and the Florida Forest Service. 30 feet of defensible space and acceptable setbacks for all Estates lots to allow access of emergency vehicles and equipment Consideration: Completion of the Estates Community Wildfire Protection Plan 5.) Establish appropriate Setbacks and Buffers and compatibility standards for all adjacent RFMUD and RLSA land uses. Previously recommended changes permitting non residential land uses in the RFMUD must be applied so as to preserve the rural residential character of Golden Gate Estates. To that end, it will be essential to establish appropriate buffers and transitional uses, together with appropriate controls over the location of utility service lines and transportation corridors. To achieve these goals the following recommendations are submitted: a.) Projects directly abutting residential property shall provide, at a minimum, a one-hundred (100) foot wide buffer in which no parking or water management uses are permitted. Twenty- five (25) feet of the width of the buffer along the developed area shall be a landscape buffer type C as outlined in the LDC. A minimum of fifty (75) feet of the buffer width shall consist of retained or created native vegetation and must be consistent with appropriate subsections of the Collier County Land Development Code (LDC). The 100 foot buffer shall not be part of a setback, but will be a separately platted tract. Setbacks shall be a minimum of 50% of the height of any structure other than single family. b.) A solid masonry or concrete wall 8’ high and on a 3’ berm at the development (RFMUD) side of the 100’ buffer shall be required. The buffer area shall be supplemented where needed to assure an 80% opacity is reached within one year.

Parking lot lighting shall be restricted to bollards except as may be required to comply with lighting standards in the Land Development Code (Ordinance #04-41, as amended) and other governing regulations. d.) Rural roadways as typically used within the Golden Gate Estates neighborhoods shall not be used for access or utility conveyance to any new development. Appropriate truck route management tools need to be employed to limit Community impact from adjacent development. All adjacent RFMUD and RLSA residential and commercial uses should be considered. 6.) Develop Rural Architectural Standards 7.) Develop Rural Median Landscape Standards B. Transportation and Mobility -Roads 1.) Complete the study for a New I-75 Interchange in the vicinity of Everglades Blvd. Consideration: Restricting expansion of Everglades Blvd. to 4 lanes to service Estates needs. RLSA growth Management planning should address appropriate right of way and developer contribution to meet RLSA transportation needs for the predicted population growth (est. 300,000+) in this planning area. No unreasonable impact on the established low density Estates. 2.) Prioritization of the improvement of Wilson Boulevard North to commercial services, and the Wilson Extension south to White Lake Boulevard to link Golden Gate Estates to North Belle Meade Receiving lands and future economic development. Provide a needed road corridor to the north, south, and west. Wilson-Benfield Corridor Study. 3.) Extend White Lake Boulevard east to the proposed new I-75 Interchange in the vicinity of Everglades Blvd. 4.) Complete the Green Boulevard Extension Study to identify an East-West corridor linking North Belle Meade Receiving lands to CR 951 and points west. Consideration: Extension of Golden Gate Parkway rather than Green Blvd., to improve connectivity and reduce the need for excessive Eminent Domain through the Estates. 5.) Complete the Randall Boulevard Extension Study to identify an East-West corridor to the RLSA. S Curve Concept review. Consideration: Improvements to intersection of Randall Blvd and Immokalee Road are a critical infrastructure need and the choke-point of Randall/Oilwell/Immokalee Rd. Consider an emergency declaration to accelerate needed improvements at this intersection due of impending transportation failures.

Commercial Goods, Services, Jobs for the Estates provided primarily from zoning in adjacent areas including: Orange Tree PUD, RFMUD Receiving Lands (846 Partners, N. Belle Meade), and RLSA (Rural Lands West) 2.) Possible focused Commercial Overlay within the Estates adjacent to existing Commercial in the Randall Blvd. / Oil Well Rd. area east to the intersection of Wilson Blvd. and Immokalee Rd. * Along Randall Blvd. adjacent to Publix (already zoned/) * Randall Curve / Golden Gate Land Trust 40 acre parcel across from Orangetree * Wilson Blvd. / Immokalee Rd. intersection 3.)

General Perspectives for Consideration: General recognition, distinction and acknowledgement that one size does not fit all relative to County-wide application of standards of law and community character. Consideration: Urban Coastal Zone functions differently than eastern rural areas, and as such, review processes for growth management plan changes and Land Development Plan changes should take into consideration the local application and applicability and evaluate for unintended consequences and diverging, inconsistent and incongruent intents of such changes.

PO. Box 990596, Naples, FL 34116-6002 Estates-Civic.org Surface Water Management / Drainage This is considered to be the highest priority for determination for the Rural Estates and is dependent on the water management through and around the N Belle Meade Area of the RFMUD. The continued buildout of the Rural Estates and the RFMUD north of I-75 and west of the RLSA, will significantly increase impervious surface area and storm water runoff. Concurrently, there is concern for protecting groundwater recharge for the multiple areas that depend on Rural Estates groundwater resources. This issue directly effects future Residential property protection, Economic Development, Water Resources, Wildfire Protection and Transportation Design. The planning effort that needs to be undertaken would update the drainage of water from the Rural Estates to the Henderson Creek Canal. Both Marco Island Utilities and Rookery Bay are looking for more water. Economic Diversification / Development This would be the second prioritization after future surface water management has been reviewed. Economic Diversification / Development within the Rural Estates is small commercial nodes at selected intersections with each node totaling approximately 80 acres maximum. Planning of the Rural Estates nodes and zoning will be significantly influenced by the larger commercial diversification / development in the adjacent areas of the RFMUD and RLSA. The Rural Estates seeks coordination of with the RFMUD and RLSA with the larger commercial areas. Also, the design, planning and zoning for the Rural Estates Small Commercial Node areas with be greatly influenced by drainage and ground water availability. Transportation Design These would the 3rd area of Prioritization after Surface Water Management and Economic Diversification / Development have been reviewed. These are to be added to the recommendations in the First Letter of 02 Nov 2016. These recommendations should be added to the GGAMP for Rural Estates because they are not discussed or transmitted in any other part of planning for the Rural Estates. These recommendations are not to replace the MPO efforts. a. No expansion of roads from 2 lane to 4 lane, East of Everglades Blvd. b. Prioritize transportation design that moves traffic North and South within the Rural Estates. a. Prioritize installing a bridge on 8th St. SE @ Frangipani. c. Prioritize expansion of Randall Blvd, 2 lanes to 4 from Immokalee Road to Everglades d. Do not allow "S" curve from Randall to Oil Well. e. Prioritize Future I-75 interchange at or east of Desoto Blvd. f. No more "chicanes" or other traffic slowing designs that prevents school buses or other vehicles from safely traveling a 2 lane road in opposite directions. Cell Towers More locations should be identified for Cell Tower Construction. Residents favor improving cell tower coverage. Prioritizing land zoning for this development is needed. 1 acre Impervious Rule This rule was imposed on residential development in the Rural Estates without study or discussion. This rule requires singly family lot owners to implement surface water retention if the amount of impervious surface on their lot exceeds 1 acre. This rule needs to be eliminated. The impacts of these rule are: a. Significant increase to the road drainage swales b. Significant increase to the Big Cypress Basin Canals without planning c. Ecolcogical damage to adjacent wetlands by drying them out, preventing water flow. d. Significant increase in wildfire danger by draining wetlands faster in the dry season.

Ecosystem enclosures 1, 2 and 3, attached. The District has a keen interest in parcels purchased to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the residents of Collier County. Specifically, the Board of Supervisors believes that Conservation Collier Program parcels, when evaluated for their carbon sequestration value, could serve as a bank for funding maintenance and salaries, annually, and provide a substantial water quality and incentive opportunity for mitigation purposes in response to code enforcement and permit activity. The District reviewed the "Wetlands and Climate Change" article in light of using county-owned Conservation Collier Program wetland parcels to provide Transfer of Development Rights incentives from a "Bank." To create the Bank would require a list of Conservation Collier Program wetland parcels. Once provided, the District would create and manage, under an Interlocal Agreement, a log of wetland sequestration value, prepare documents of sale of whole or fractional share sales, and undertake monitoring activities.

Follow Up Flag:Follow up Flag Status:Completed Mr. Van Lengen: To carry forward from our previous discussion, we own 2 parcels in the Golden Gate Area Master Plan- Urban Estates. These parcels are 6715 Golden Gate Parkway (currently a residence) and the approximately 7 acre parcel (as referenced here- the “Undeveloped Parcel”) at the north-west corner of Golden Gate Parkway and Santa Barbara Blvd. Our objective with these parcels is to develop a commercially-viable project. Our group purchased the Undeveloped Parcel in 2007 with the intention of building a medical office building for Anchor Health. At the time, one of the partners formerly associated with our group, Paul Zampell, was in the process of building a medical office for Anchor Health on 951. Paul believed that Anchor wanted to proceed with our parcel as well. Unfortunately, after acquiring the Undevleoped Parcel, Anchor Health, the prospective tenant, decided that it no longer wanted to expand its office locations and withdrew from the project. Having lost our intended tenant and unable to locate an alternate medical office user, we ordered a market study which identified healthcare as a use which would generate sufficient demand to support development. We incurred significant architectural and planning costs in the course of coming up with a mix of assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and independent living units on the property. The PUD did not support alternate healthcare uses so we sought zoning relief which ultimately was tabled shortly before Mr. Joseph Rosin, Mr. Zampell’s original partner, passed away. The Undeveloped Parcel is one of 2 parcels designated as Golden Gate Estates Commercial Infill Subdistrict on the “Future Land Use Map.” Note that though referred to as “Future” on the map, it is the land use zoning currently in place for the undeveloped parcel. We are limited to a single story structure of not more than 35,000 square feet, and the only permitted use is for medical office. Unfortunately, the limitations imposed make this parcel nearly impossible to develop and none of the prospective purchasers who have contacted us, are interested in the current zoning. We would like to develop this property for commercial purposes consistent with other properties in the area, such as the CVS across the street from us. The corner parcel across from us to the south on Golden Gate has, to our knowledge, been acquired with the intention of commercial development. As more residents move to the area, it is only natural that signalized corner parcels such as ours be developed with retail uses to support them. We appreciate your consideration and would request either that the Commercial Infill Subdistrict restrictions be changed, or that the Development Parcel be moved to a new designation that would allow for more commercial options than currently exist. Should you have any suggestions in terms of participating in the general master plan review process that is going on, please let us know.

You might recall when Collier Boulevard was expanded a few years ago a rec. path was added on the East side of the CR951 canal using the easement. Some units, for example units #1, #2, #95, & #32 have a canal at the end of the streets, using the existing canal easement a loop could be built from Vanderbilt Bch Rd to Pine Ridge Road with a nature/bike path on both sides so residents from both sides could use it.

The parcels total approximately 12.5 acres. This property had a pending Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) amendment in 2014, which the property owner requested it to be placed in abeyance, in order to participate in the re-study process. An aerial location exhibit is attached for your convenience. We wanted to provide you with some additional information regarding the parcel as a follow-up to our meeting on April 4, 2017, which we believe will demonstrate that this property should be re-evaluated for the potential of non-residential land uses as part of the re-study effort. Under the current GGAMP, the site is designated Estates, and based on the existing criteria, the site is only eligible for one dwelling unit per 2.25 acres. The site is ineligible for even Transitional Conditional Uses. The property owner recognizes that the property’s proximity to the quasi- industrial FP&L PUD, and the newly 6-lane segment of Collier Boulevard, renders it illogical and incompatible for very low density residential uses. The property owner had previously proposed to amend the GGAMP to re-designate this property as an additional Neighborhood Center, with additional restrictions on buffer and setback standards for the 12.5+/- acre property. It has been our consistent contention that the property is not appropriately designate for only low-density residential dwellings due to the changing neighborhood conditions with the expanded Collier Boulevard and the increasing number of vehicle trips that utilize this major roadway corridor serving the eastern areas of Collier County. An economic analysis had also been prepared in support of the amendment, which demonstrated that the demand for additional office and retail services could be supported by the growing population of both Golden Gate City and the Estates area east of Collier Boulevard. Additionally, with the then impending expansion of Collier Boulevard to a 6-lane arterial roadway, additional pass-by trips were anticipated, also contributing to the market viability for office, retail and service uses. In our prior discussions with Growth Management staff, they were not supportive of an amendment to the GGAMP that would result in retail and office development on this site. They did; however, support an amendment that would re-designate this site as a Conditional Use Sub- District which would then permit the owner to submit a Conditional Use for a variety of non- Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy White Paper 12/19/2017 Page 181 of 220 247 Mr. Kris VanLengen RE: Tracts 103 (east 180’), 119, and 120 Golden Gates Estates, Unit 26 May 1, 2017 Page 2 of 2 residential uses. Some of these land uses would include churches, schools, day care, group housing/group care, private schools and social/fraternal organizations. In our most recent discussions with you, you too acknowledged that the site may no longer be appropriately designated to only permit low density residential development. In that meeting, we discussed the possibility of possibly modifying the Transitional Conditional Use section of the GGAMP in order to permit this property to qualify to apply for a conditional use. The GGAMP already acknowledges that these conditional uses can be good transitions between non-residential and residential land uses. We believe that a minor amendment to paragraph 3e), Special Exceptions to Conditional Use Locational Criteria would be appropriate to specifically indicate that this property would be eligible to seek a conditional use of the E, Estates zoning designation. The amended language could read: 5. The east 180 feet of Tract 103, Tract 119 and Tract 120, Unit 26, Golden Gate Estates are eligible for conditional uses as identified in Estates zoning district. We would appreciate your consideration of this minor change to the GGAMP as you continue your re-study efforts. We believe the unique location of this parcel adjacent to the existing FP&L PUD, which permits not only electric generating substations, but also open equipment storage, maintenance and fueling facilities and any other use deemed appropriate for FP&L (since the FPL plant is no longer subject to local zoning restrictions) is incompatible with very low density residential use. The property too, is located on a 6-lane arterial, which contributes to the incompatibility of the site for residential use. Attached are photos of the FPL plant, the subject property and its intersection on Collier Boulevard Sincerely, D.

When Commissioner Taylor was running for election she promised us that this would not happen. I am hoping that that promise will be kept! Golden Gate Master Plan. Keep the Estates Residential. Golden Gate Parkway. We have previously objected to the proposed changes in making the area between Livingston and Santa Barbara with ANY commercializations. We built our home in 1989 and unlike Pine Ridge Road there are too many private homes that feed onto the Parkway. Since exit 105 from 1-75 and the overpass was put in place it is almost impossible to get out of our street as it is, especially in season. We have already had over 3 fatalities at the end of our street and when I wrote to the County to request a light be put in place because of the gym and Bingo hall at the end of our street and the alterations to the other streets that have to utilize ours to make UTurns to head west it is a nightmare. The County flat out said "no, a stop light would cause more accidents". We have too many families with young children and children who are now learning to drive to be put in danger. Again, Golden Gate Estates was built for residential and it was well over 30 years ago. Too many families have taken stake in their properties and homes to be violated by commercialization. The investors who are attempting this change are not for the benefit of the residents...it's money for their pockets. The apartment complex that was just built on the corner of the Parkway and Livingston should prove to be another traffic nightmare.

Closest gas stations are already good enough for those who choose not to use the Pine Ridge amenities. Why are you concentrating using 68th and 60th when you don't own any properties at the "proposed" sites for first modifications. Mr. Perrine is the realtor for the properties that were acquired and the owners, as well as the original company that purchased the parcels that Wildcat I and II, whom you are the trustee, now own, knew that these were residential. Why is he putting his on the market for 4 million and 2 million with a description that says "Possible commercial usage, ideal for gas station, church, retail shopping, etc". Why is he lying. Putting that out as a possibility is baiting a proposed buyer and misleading! Your initial mailing would have been thrown away but I had the time to actually open and read it.

Attachments:GGAMP Upcoming Workshops News Release final 4-20-16.pdf; Golden Gate Area Master Plan 2nd Workshop News Release 5-11-16.pdf Dear Mr. Stevenson: Thank you for your interest in the Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy (“Restudy”). Your communication will be retained for the record, and we will add your contact information to our e-mail distribution list. The attached notices should help explain the nature of the Growth Management Plan Restudy. These notices were provided as press releases to local news outlets and posted on the County’s website. At the request of several residents, this notice was also e-mailed to those residents. As the Restudy ideally involves all 36,000 households in the Golden Gate Area, it was not financially feasible to provide letter notices to all homes. We were pleased to provide an introduction to the Restudy to a group of residents in the Estates area west of Collier Blvd. on May 11, 2016. As you will note, the nature of the project is to examine all aspects of the current GGAMP, determine whether its provisions reflect the values and vision of residents and stakeholders today, and provide observations and recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. We hope that you will visit our website noted in the attachments, to be updated frequently, so that you can review the current plan provisions, communicate with staff, and plan on attending future meetings as approved by the Growth Management Oversight Committee. To our knowledge, there has been no recent rezone proposal for Golden Gate Parkway properties. Yours, Kris Van Lengen, JD, AICP Community Planning Manager Zoning Division, Collier County 2800 N.

Importance: High Dear Kris, I have been sent communications stating that the GGAMP is exploring a change in zoning to allow commercial uses on Golden Gate Parkway between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara Blvd. My personal home is located on 66th street SW, literally one lot away from Golden Gate Parkway. My family an I are adamantly opposed to any changes to current zoning of the parkway between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara Blvd. This topic has come up previously by varied developers and we have opposed them every time they surface. I am not sure if you are the person in charge of the upcoming workshop or not, but I received your name in connection with the proposed workshop to discuss rezoning of the Master plan associated with the Golden Gate Parkway area between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara Blvd. I will be reaching out to all of my contacts in the Collier County Growth Management Division to voice my opposition, as well as all of the county commissioners. Over the last 20 years I have been involved in countless development projects, PUDs, SDPs Replats and Rezones in Collier County, many of them residential and commercial rezoning projects, therefore I'm very experienced in the process. For the record, No Public Notice was Mailed to my home address which indicates that the public meeting may have not been properly advertised per the Collier County requirements. This is extremely alarming to say the least, especially knowing that the various developers have been trying to sneak this type of zoning change by the residents of this area for years now. I will be in adamant opposition to any change to the parkway zoning, and use all my professional resources, my experience and my company resources to make sure our neighborhood zoning remains unchanged. Commercial applications are not the right use for this area, it is and always has been zoned residential and estates. The traffic impact study reports (TIS) for this section go GG Parkway will also show the danger to the public if any commercial development is considered for this area in question. Please help to keep our residential neighborhood and our children safe from the dangerous traffic and social impacts of a change of this nature to the current zoning. During the installation approval process of the I-75 Interchange installation in December of 2007 the county commissioners adopted language into the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) that specifically and undeniably restricts any new modifications of improvements of Commercial development on the stretch of Golden Gate Parkway between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara Blvd. other than the existing Center Point Church and The David Lawrence Center. Please review the Master Plan language that was adopted in 2007 and forward this information to the county commissioners and your supervisors for review. Please keep my email on your communication list regarding any items or communication related to and changes to the GGAMP between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara Blvd. Thank you for your time.

Keep the Estates Residential. After receiving a letter regarding a meeting planned for tomorrow to possibly re-zone our residential neighborhood to commercial I submit the following letter and past correspondence. When Commissioner Taylor was running for election she promised us that this would not happen. I am hoping that that promise will be kept! Golden Gate Master Plan. Keep the Estates Residential. Golden Gate Parkway. We have previously objected to the proposed changes in making the area between Livingston and Santa Barbara with ANY commercializations. We built our home in 1989 and unlike Pine Ridge Road there are too many private homes that feed onto the Parkway. Since exit 105 from 1-75 and the overpass was put in place it is almost impossible to get out of our street as it is, especially in season. We have already had over 3 fatalities at the end of our street and when I wrote to the County to request a light be put in place because of the gym and Bingo hall at the end of our street and the alterations to the other streets that have to utilize ours to make UTurns to head west it is a nightmare. The County flat out said "no, a stop light would cause more accidents". We have too many families with young children and children who are now learning to drive to be put in danger. Again, Golden Gate Estates was built for residential and it was well over 30 years ago. Too many families have taken stake in their properties and homes to be violated by commercialization. The investors who are attempting this change are not for the benefit of the residents...it's money for their pockets. The apartment complex that was just built on the corner of the Parkway and Livingston should prove to be another traffic nightmare. Subject: GG Parkway From: ajturner37@hotmail.com Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 19:37:33 -0400 To: fredcoyle@colliergov.net Commissioner Coyle, We, the residents off Golden Gate Parkway, recently received correspondence regarding a request to re-zone the one mile radius that impacts our home. I wanted to share the most recent correspondence from them and my response. I am afraid that many of our neighbors did not take into consideration the initial letter that was sent and have not read it. This is very disturbing that these people are trying to modify our existing peace and security. Would you please take the time to read their proposal and let us know if there is anyway they can actually achieve what they are asking for.

Your proposing to use our street as a major road and a gas station. I need to know who on 68th Street SW responded to your initial letter. I already tried for a light, as I mentioned before, and the County flat out declined. Why would 68th Street SW want to allow the traffic and further dis-value to our homes, not to mention the safety of our children. Pine Ridge extension has all the stuff they need getting off I75. That part is hideous. We have a beautiful landscaped exit as it is, it doesn't need to be destroyed by adding anymore commerce to the frontage and making our homes less attractive. Closest gas stations are already good enough for those who choose not to use the Pine Ridge amenities. Why are you concentrating using 68th and 60th when you don't own any properties at the "proposed" sites for first modifications. Mr. Perrine is the realtor for the properties that were acquired and the owners, as well as the original company that purchased the parcels that Wildcat I and II, whom you are the trustee, now own, knew that these were residential. Why is he putting his on the market for 4 million and 2 million with a description that says "Possible commercial usage, ideal for gas station, church, retail shopping, etc". Why is he lying. Putting that out as a possibility is baiting a proposed buyer and misleading! Your initial mailing would have been thrown away but I had the time to actually open and read it. Maybe that is why you have not gotten the responses. I am certain that NO ONE on our street is going to go for these changes.

The subject parcel has a total area of approximately 6.25 acres and lies within Section 11, Township 49 South, Range 26 East, Collier County, Florida. This parcel is partially vacant land with one single-family residential structure (ref. Fig. 1 – Project Location Map and Appendix A: Project Master Site Plan). Fig. 1 – Project Location Map As illustrated in the Master Site Plan, the conditional use zoning application proposes to allow development for a multi-purpose church related building and accessory recreational area. For purposes of this evaluation, the project build-out year is assumed to be consistent with the Collier County 2022 planning horizon. The project provides a highest and best use scenario with respect to the project’s proposed trip generation. Grace Romanian Church – CU Zoning – TIS – June 2017 Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e | 5 The associated church multi-use amenities are considered passive incidental to the sanctuary use and are not included in the trip generation analysis. The development program is illustrated in Table 1. Table 1 Development Program Development ITE Land Use ITE Land Use Code Total Size Proposed Conditions Church 560 15,000 sf (300 seats)* Note(s): *Size and seating capacity for sanctuary; sf – square feet. A methodology meeting was held with the Collier County Transportation Planning staff on April 26, 2017, via email (refer to Appendix B: Initial Meeting Checklist). Connections to the subject site are proposed to be provided as follows: one existing to remain right-in/right-out access on eastbound Golden Gate Boulevard; and one full movement access on southbound Weber Boulevard. Trip Generation The project’s site trip generation is based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition. The software program OTISS (Online Traffic Impact Study Software, most current version is used to create the raw unadjusted trip generation for the project. The ITE rates are used for the trip generation calculations. The ITE – OTISS trip generation calculation worksheets are provided in Appendix C: Trip Generation Calculations ITE 9th Edition. Based on ITE recommendations and consistent with Collier County TIS Guidelines and Procedures, the internal capture and pass-by trips are not considered for this project. The estimated project weekday trip generation is illustrated in Table 2A. Grace Romanian Church – CU Zoning – TIS – June 2017 Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e | 6 Table 2A Trip Generation (Proposed Conditions) – Average Weekday Note(s): (1) Sanctuary; sf – square feet. In agreement with the Collier County TIS Guidelines and Procedures, significantly impacted roadways are identified based on the proposed project highest peak hour trip generation (net new external traffic) and consistent with the peak hour of the adjacent street traffic. Based on the information contained in Collier County 2016 Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR), the peak hour for adjacent roadway network is PM. For the purpose of this analysis, the surrounding roadway network concurrency analysis is analyzed based on projected PM peak hour traffic as illustrated in Table 2A. The site access turn lane analysis is based on the projected higher traffic generator for LUC 560 - Church: AM and PM peak hour average weekday compared to Sunday peak hour of generator. In addition, a Sunday peak hour of generator trip generation comparison is provided between two variables: sanctuary Gross Floor Area (GFA) and the number of seats. For the LUC 560 – Sunday peak hour of generator, the number of seats variable is the conservative estimate of the two trip generations and it is used for the purposes of this report. As illustrated in the ITE LUC 560 – Additional Data, the Sunday peak hour varies between 9.00AM and 1.00 PM. The estimated Sunday peak hour trip generation is illustrated in Table 2B.

Another way to derive the background traffic is to use the 2016 AUIR volume plus the trip bank volume. Table 4, Background Traffic without Project, illustrates the application of projected growth rates to generate the projected background (without project) peak hour peak direction traffic volume for the future horizon year 2022.

The projected 2022 Peak Hour – Peak Direction Background Traffic is the greater of the Growth Factor or Trip Bank calculation, which is underlined and bold as applicable. Existing and Future Roadway Network The existing roadway conditions are extracted from the 2016 Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) and the project roadway conditions are based on the current Collier County 5- Year Work Program. Roadway improvements that are currently under construction or are scheduled to be constructed within the five year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) or Capital Improvement program (CIP) are considered to be committed improvements. Collier Boulevard improvements are currently underway and are adequately reflected in the 2016 Grace Romanian Church – CU Zoning – TIS – June 2017 Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e | 10 AUIR. As no future improvements were identified in the Collier County 2016 AUIR, the evaluated roadways are anticipated to remain as such through project build-out. The existing and future roadway conditions are illustrated in Table 5, Existing and Future Roadway Conditions.

The Collier County Transportation Planning Services guidelines have determined that a project will be considered to have a significant and adverse impact if both the percentage volume capacity exceeds 2% of the capacity for the link directly accessed by the project and for the link adjacent to the link directly accessed by the project; 3% for other subsequent links and if the roadway is projected to operate below the adopted LOS standard. Based on these criteria, this project does not create any significant and adverse impacts to the area roadway network. None of the analyzed links are projected to operate below the adopted LOS standard with or without the project at 2022 future build-out conditions. Table 6, Roadway Link Level of Service illustrates the LOS impacts of the project on the roadway network closest to the project.

Site Access Turn Lane Analysis Connections to the subject site are proposed to be provided as follows: one existing to remain right-in/right-out access on eastbound Golden Gate Boulevard; and one full movement access on southbound Weber Boulevard. For details see Appendix A: Project Master Site Plan. Collier Boulevard (CR 951) is a 6-lane urban divided arterial under Collier County jurisdiction, and has a posted legal speed of 45 mph in the vicinity of the project. Based on FDOT Index 301, design speed of 45 mph – urban conditions – the minimum turn lane length is 185 feet (which includes a 50 foot taper) plus required queue. Golden Gate Boulevard (CR 876) is a 4-lane urban divided arterial under Collier County jurisdiction, and has a posted legal speed of 45 mph in the vicinity of the project. Based on FDOT Index 301, design speed of 45 mph – urban conditions – the minimum turn lane length is 185 feet (which includes a 50 foot taper) plus required queue. Weber Blvd is a 2-lane undivided local street under Collier County jurisdiction, and has a posted legal speed of 30 mph in the vicinity of the project. Project access is typically evaluated for turn lane warrants based on the Collier County Right-of- way Manual: (a) two-lane roadways – 40vph for right-turn lane/20vph for left-turn lane; and (b) multi-lane divided roadways – right turn lanes shall always be provided: and (c) when new median openings are permitted, they shall always include left-turn lanes. Grace Romanian Church – CU Zoning – TIS – June 2017 Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e | 12 Turn lane lengths required at build-out conditions are analyzed based on the number of turning vehicles in an average one-minute period for right-turning movements, and two-minute period for left-turning movements, within the peak hour traffic. The minimum queue length is 25 feet and the queue/vehicle is 25 feet. The estimated project trips at driveway locations are illustrated in Appendix D: Project Turning Movements Exhibits. Site Access – Eastbound Golden Gate Boulevard A dedicated eastbound right-turn lane is warranted as the project meets the multi-lane criteria and volume threshold. There is an existing right-turn lane approximately 260 feet long. The proposed project is expected to generate 64 vph right-turning movements during the Sunday peak hour of the generator. At the minimum, the turn lane should be 235 feet long (which includes a minimum of 50 feet of storage). As such, the existing right-turn lane is adequate to accommodate projected traffic at this location. Site Access – Southbound Weber Boulevard The proposed project is expected to generate 28 vph left-turning movements during the Sunday peak hour of the generator. It is noted that the Collier County roadway network peaks during a typical work week day. As such, the estimated project’s peak hour traffic occurs on an off peak day. In addition, Weber Blvd. is a low volume roadway serving surrounding residential properties. Based on the fact that the generated traffic is not a high warranting volume and occurs on an off peak day, it is our recommendation not to provide a left-turn lane at this project access. A detailed evaluation of applicable access points – turn lane requirements will be performed at the time of site development permitting/platting when more specific development parameters will be made available. As part of the Collier Boulevard (CR 951) and Golden Gate Boulevard (CR 876) intersection improvements, the Weber Blvd. connection onto Golden Gate Blvd. will be reconfigured into a right-in/right-out access. Grace Romanian Church – CU Zoning – TIS – June 2017 Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e | 13 Improvement Analysis Based on the link analysis and trip distribution, this project does not create any significant and adverse impacts to the area roadway network. None of the analyzed links are projected to operate below the adopted LOS standard with or without the project at 2022 future build-out conditions. There is adequate and sufficient roadway capacity to accommodate the proposed development without adversely affecting adjacent roadway network level of service. Based upon the results of turn lane analysis performed within this report, no turn lane improvements are recommended at the project accesses on Golden Gate Boulevard and Weber Boulevard. A detailed evaluation of applicable access points – turn lane requirements will be performed at the time of site development permitting/platting when more specific development parameters will be made available. Mitigation of Impact The developer proposes to pay the appropriate Collier County Road Impact Fee as building permits are issued for the project.

For this analysis, the site will be conceptually developed to the maximum standards using the current project zoning and the proposed zoning amendment. The currently zoned lots consist of the following residential uses at build-out: Single Family Residence (1,201 – 2,250 sf) 2,250 sf Single Family Residence (1,201 – 2,250 sf) 2,250 sf Total: 4,500 sf The newly proposed Development (proposed zoning amendment) consists of the following at build-out: Church 300 seats Total: 300 seats The Capital Improvement Element of the Growth Management Plan establishes Levels of Service for the following: Arterial and Collector Roads Surface Water Management Systems Potable Water Systems Sanitary Sewer Systems Solid Waste Disposal Facilities Parks and Recreation Facilities Public School Facilities Each of the areas will be examined for the proposed developments in this summary report. Grace Romanian Baptist Church SSGMPA Conditional Uses Subdistrict Exhibit “R”- Comparative Level of Service (LOS) Analysis July, 2017 www.davidsonengineering.com Arterial and Collector Roads Significantly impacted roadways are identified by the proposed highest peak hour trip generation (net new traffic) and is compared with the peak hour of the adjacent street traffic. Based on the information contained in Collier County 2016 Annual Update Inventory Report, the peak hour for the project’s adjacent roadway network is PM. Therefore, the PM Peak Hour Trips were calculated using gross square footage for the proposed GPMA (Church at 15,000sf) and dwelling unit for the current zoning (Single Family Residential at 2 units) as this represents highest and best use scenario. Table 1 - Project Trip Generation (Net New) – Average Weekday Development PM Peak Hour Trips Enter Exit Total Proposed GMPA (Total non-Pass-By Trips) 4 4 8 Current Zoning (Total Non-Pass-By Trips) 1 1 2 Proposed Net New Traffic (Total Non-Pass-By Trips) Net Increase/(Net Decrease) 3 3 6 Based on the roadway network link analysis result, the proposed development at build-out is not a significant or adverse traffic generator for the existing roadway traffic at this location. There is adequate and sufficient roadway capacity to accommodate the proposed development generated trips without adversely affecting the adjacent roadway network level of service. Surface Water Management Systems Currently, the neighboring sites are developed with single family homes and not permitted with an agency for storm water management. General development will warrant an environmental resource permit (ERP) through South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The District’s requirement for development is to attenuate 1.5 inches over the entire site during a 25-year, 3-day storm event prior to discharging offsite. The post-development discharge rate for this project allows 0.15 cfs/acre. These are minimum requirements despite the type of development proposed; therefore, neither project will pose a significant or adverse effect on the overall storm water management system. Potable Water and Sanitary Sewer Systems Currently, the site contains a vacated house with all utilities privately owned and maintained. The proposed non-residential site will connect to the existing 36-inch Collier County watermain within Weber Boulevard to provide fire and potable water utilities to the site. The property will provide privately owned and maintained sanitary sewer. Grace Romanian Baptist Church SSGMPA Conditional Uses Subdistrict Exhibit “R”- Comparative Level of Service (LOS) Analysis July, 2017 www.davidsonengineering.com Per Policy 1.5 of the Capital Improvement Element section of the Collier County Growth Management Plan, the potable water system level-of-service is based on population growth. The proposed non-residential development does not facilitate population growth; therefore, the proposed use will have no impact on the potable water facility’s capacity. Solid Waste Disposal Facilities Solid waste is provided by Waste Management, a private contract provider. Commercial accounts are charged by the service provider directly with rates set by the Board of County Commissioners through contract negotiation with the provider. Parks and Recreation Facilities The proposed build-out will not create a negative impact on Parks and Recreation Facilities. The level of service is not significantly or adversely impacted by the proposed build-out. Public School Facilities The proposed build-out will not create a negative impact on Public School Facilities. The use will not impact school attendance. The level of service is not significantly or adversely impacted by either of the proposed build-outs. Grace Romanian Baptist Church SSGMPA Conditional Uses Subdistrict Exhibit “R”- Comparative Level of Service (LOS) Analysis July, 2017 www.davidsonengineering.com Fire and EMS Facilities The proposed build-out will have no measurable impact on Fire and EMS Facilities. It should be assumed that newer buildings will be constructed to current NFPA and building code standards which may reduce the likelihood of related calls. The level of service is not significantly or adversely impacted by the proposed build-out conditions.

Water service is readily available to the project via an existing 36” RCP water main along the east side of Weber Blvd S. Potable water is available for domestic use, fire protection, and irrigation, subject to the provisions of LDC 4.03.08 C, the Collier County Irrigation Ordinance (2015-27), and other applicable rules and regulations. Connection to the CCWSD’s water distribution system will be permitted only after the GMD Development Review Division’s approval of hydraulic calculations prepared by the Developer’s Engineer of Record in accordance with the Design Criteria found in Section 1 of the Collier County Water-Sewer District Utilities Standards Manual. Source pressure assumptions for water distribution system design are prescribed in the Design Criteria. If you have any questions, you may contact me at (239) 252-1037 or EricFey@colliergov.net.

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. Response: The proposed SSGMPA does not contribute to urban sprawl. The subject property is within the existing urban service area and will not require any special or additional costs to provide necessary services. The property has been contemplated for residential and limited non-residential conditional uses per the existing zoning and future land use. The proposed addition of a religious facility land use (through addition to the Conditional Use Subdistrict) will place no greater burden on community facilities than did prior uses of the property. Policy 5.4: New developments shall be compatible with, and complementary to, the surrounding land uses, subject to meeting the compatibility criteria of the Land Development Code (Ordinance 91-102, adopted October 30, 1991, as amended. Response: The subject property, and its potential land use, shall be compatible with and complimentary to its surrounding land uses. The proposed Conditional Use Subdistrict is bordered to the north, east south and west by residential land uses and zoning opposite existing right-of-ways. Collier Boulevard, Golden Gate Boulevard, Weber Road and 1st Avenue SW all directly border the subject property. Grace Romanian Baptist Church SSGMPA Conditional Uses Subdistrict July, 2017 www.davidsonengineering.com 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. Response: The proposed SSGMPA will be a companion petition to a conditional use application that will continue to provide appropriate connections and interconnections. 12 Urban Estates 8 Rural Estates 9 Corkscrew 3 Golden Gate2 Central Naples 1 North Naples SR 93 / I-75LIVINGSTON RDCOLLIER BOULEVARDPINE RIDGE RDLOGAN BLVDCR 886/GOLDEN GATE VANDERBILT BEACH RD.

The following individuals, associated with the review and presentation of the project, were present. • Frederick Hood, Davidson Engineering • Jessica Harrelson, Davidson Engineering • Sue Faulkner, Collier County • Fred Reischl, Collier County Frederick Hood started the meeting by marking a presentation, reading the following: • Introduction: o Good evening. My name is Frederick Hood with Davidson Engineering and I am the land development consultant representing the applicant, Grace Romanian Baptist Church of Naples, o The applicant is seeking both a Conditional Use and Small-Scale Growth Management Plan Amendment application to be reviewed by Collier County for the development of a church. o Here with me tonight is Jessica Harrelson, the Project Coordinator with Davidson Engineering, and Adrian Roman, the President & Secretary for the Grace Romanian Church. o Fred Reischl and Sue Faulkner, with the Collier County, are also in attendance tonight. They are the reviewing planners for Collier County Growth Management. o Per the land development code, tonight’s meeting will be recorded. At the end of my presentation I will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the proposed development. • Size and Location: o The subject parcel is approximately 6.25 acres and is located at the Southeast corner of Golden Gate and Collier Boulevards. • Purpose of the Applications: o Two separate applications I mentioned earlier have been filed with Collier County and are being reviewed by several County departments at the same time. o First, is the application to amend the County’s Growth Management Plan. The County’s Growth Management Plan describes the vision for the future of the County and helps to regulate where particular land uses are developed, and to ensure that those land uses are consistent with the goals and objectives that the County has in place. As the County grows and continues to develop, the Growth Management Plan gets amended from time to time. o Based on the size of the subject property, we have filed a Small-Scale Growth Management Plan Amendment, or SSGMPA. The SSGMPA will amend the future land use zoning of the subject property from Estates Mixed Use District - Residential Estates Subdistrict, to the Conditional Use Subdistrict, per the Golden Gate Area Master Plan. o The Estates Zoning District permits churches as a Conditional Use, therefore a second application, identifying all the required elements for a conditional use request, per the County’s Land Development Code, has been filed. This application will also provide more specific details and conditions of approval for the subject property. Examples of conditions can be handled with the Conditional Use request are specific to setbacks, building height limitations, landscape buffers, etc. o The approval of both applications will allow the proposed church to be consistent with both the Collier County’s Land Development Code and the Golden Gate Area Master Plan’s vision for the future. • Details of the MCP o As you can see from the proposed master plan, the applicant is seeking to locate a sanctuary as the only principal building on the property with an accessory recreation field to the south. o The proposed sanctuary and accessory field have been designed and placed as close to the Collier Boulevard right-of-way to provide the most distance from adjacent homes to the east and south. o The building pad is bordered by parking and a circulation drive. o Additionally, to provide the most amount of screening from the adjacent homes, we have placed the property’s proposed water management and preserve areas along the eastern portion of the property. o The remaining property boundaries will be subject to the County’s landscape buffer screening requirements between residential and non-residential land uses. o The means of ingress and egress to the property will be along Golden Gate Boulevard and Weber Boulevard South. o Per coordination with County transportation staff, these are the two access locations that have been requested. o We held an informal NIM about a year ago to gauge the community’s feelings about the proposed project. o At that time, the concept plan was slightly different with one more access point to the south along 1st Avenue SW. o Since then, the applications have been reviewed by Collier County and we were asked to remove that access point. o While the application is still in review, additional changes can be made based on the feedback we receive from you all and from Collier County staff. o Although this layout looks official, this is not an approved plan yet. We still must finish our review with Collier County before moving forward. The following concerns were stated and questions were asked: 1. Concerns with the additional traffic along Weber Blvd, with also making the point that there is a nearby park, two existing churches and elementary school in the area. 2. County not willing to install traffic calming devices along Weber Blvd. 3. Why can’t a bridge be constructed off CR 951 (Collier Blvd) to the site, instead of accessing the property off the residential streets? - Fred Hood replied that this was something that could be considered, but the direction of County Transportation, regarding access points to the site, was followed. 4. What are the trip counts, hours of operation? How many accessory uses/buildings? - Fred Hood replied the design of the site is for a maximum 300-seat sanctuary to house the applicant’s congregation only, with no plans for additional services or to lease out the church to other congregations. Fred noted that the recreational field could be open for the enjoyment of the public’s use and was something that the church was considering offering the community. He also stated that there were no additional accessory uses being considered and the Conditional Use application was to allow for the church-use only. 5. Concerns of outside services, such as child care and alcoholic counseling services. - Fred stated the outside services brought up were not being considered, and would require a separate application to be filed. 6. The applicant then spoke about the congregation, and why they chose the Estates location. 7. An attendee then spoke in support of the church. 8. Is a PUD being sought? - Fred replied that no, a PUD was not being considered and explained the Conditional Use. 9. When are the services? - Fred and the applicant replied with the services days/times. 10. What is the traffic count? - Fred replied that the Sunday peak-hour was 183 trips. 11. Discussions of traffic, ingress & egress are held. 12. Building heights? - Fred stated the site would conform to the current development standards & went over height and setbacks. 13. Are dark skies proposed? - Fred replied that was something the church would look into and take into consideration. 14. Is there the possibility for the church to expand on this parcel? - Fred went over the required open space, stormwater, parking areas, etc. for the site. 15. More discussions regarding traffic, ingress & egress continued. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 6:13p.m. End of memo. 12D Tuesday, September 26, 2017 Naples Daily News + NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING Please be advised that formal applications have been submitted to Collier County, seeking approval of a Small-Scale Growth Management Plan Amendment [PL20160002584/CPSS-2017-1] and a Conditional Use [PL20160002577], for a ±6.25-acre property, located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Collier and Golden Gate Boulevards.

Response: The surrounding land use patterns are shown on Exhibit “O” with a 300-foot radius of the subject property. 2. Page 4 IV. Type of Request: C. Amend Future Land Use Map(s) …TO Estates Mixed Use District –Conditional Uses Subdistrict… - Add the “s” to Uses. Response: The application has been updated to add the “s” after Conditional Uses Subdistrict. 3. V. Required Information: A. Land Use – Reference is questionable for “Provide general location map showing surrounding developments (PUD, DRI’s, existing zoning) with subject property outlined - Exhibit ‘V’ is a good map for showing surrounding land use, but Exhibit ‘D’ is listed in the “List of Exhibits” as the ‘Location Map’. Response: The application has been updated to reference Exhibits “D” and “H” for the general location map showing the surrounding developments (PUD, DRI’s and existing zoning). 4. V. Required Information: B. Future Land Use and Designation – Exhibit ‘I’ and ‘V’ were referenced for providing a map of existing Future Land Use Designation for subject property and surrounding area with acreage totals for each land use designation on the subject property, however neither exhibit shows an acreage total. Response: Exhibits “I” and “V” have been updated to include the subject site’s total acreage. 5. Page 5 V. Required Information: E. Public Facilities – Arterial and Collector Roads – Reference is incorrect – not Exhibit ‘R’, but Exhibit ‘Q,’ the Traffic Impact Statement. Response: The Application has been updated to reference Exhibits “R” and “Q”, as both exhibits outline information related to the LOS. Comprehensive Planning’s Comments on Application Backup Documents: 6. Exhibit ‘C’ Proposed GMPA Amendment Language – Add “A. Estates – Mixed Use District” underneath the first “***TEXT BREAK***” and then add another “***TEXT BREAK***” underneath the “A. Estates – Mixed Use District”. Capitalize “Use” in # 5, first line. Add a parenthetical reference to the map exhibit at end of sentence, e.g. “…Golden Gate Estates, Unit 4 (See map titled ).” Response: The proposed GMPA Amendment Language, as Exhibit “C”, has been updated as requested. 7. Exhibit ‘F-2’ NRCS Soils Mapping – Please add the total acreage of the soil #14. Response: The Soils Mapping, as Exhibit F.2, has been updated to include the total acreage of soil #14. 8. Exhibit ‘H’ Surrounding Zoning Districts - There is no marking on the map to indicate the 300 feet radius from the subject property’s boundaries (similar to Exhibit K), please add. Please add a ‘s’ on the title for the map to “Grace Romanian Baptist Church Conditional Uses Subdistrict SSGMPA…” Response: Exhibit “H” has been updated to include the 300 ft radius from the subject site. Additionally, the title has been updated as requested. 9. Exhibit ‘I’ Surrounding Future Land Designations - There is no marking on the map to indicate the 300 feet radius from the subject property’s boundaries (similar to Exhibit K), please add. Please add a ‘s’ on the title for the map to be “Grace Romanian Baptist Church Conditional Uses Subdistrict SSGMPA…” Please modify the legend to show the Estates Designation as ‘Estates – Mixed Use District’. Response: Exhibit “I” has been updated to include the 300 ft radius from the subject site and the legend has been updated to indicate ‘Estates – Mixed Use District’. 10. Exhibit ‘K’ Proximity to Public Services - Please add a ‘s’ on the title for the map to be “Grace Romanian Baptist Church Conditional Uses Subdistrict SSGMPA…”. The word ‘Sheriff’ is misspelled (just one ‘r’) in the legend, please correct. Response: Exhibit “K” has been updated to include the additional “s” and the misspelling of sheriff has also been corrected. 11. Exhibit ‘N’ Alternative Site Data & Analysis (Justification for the Location of the Proposed Amendment) Two additional sites were reviewed for this analysis: Addie’s Corner Mixed Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) and Sungate Commercial Planned Unit Development (CPUD). The Sungate CPUD site can accommodate the church and is approved for this use without further planning action, however, the analysis stated that the proposed location provided more viable accessibility. The analysis also stated that Sungate CPUD lacked immediate accessibility. The Addie’s Corner MPUD site, although it can accommodate the church use, the analysis stated that the intensity is currently limited, and therefore, the MPUD might require an amendment to the existing zoning (to guarantee the intended commercial square footage). The conclusion of the analysis was that the access to both alternative sites does not provide viable accessibility, and therefore, the proposed location best meets the needs of the Church. Staff would like to see further elaboration of the conclusions in this analysis including a provision of a definition of ‘viable accessibility’ and ‘immediate accessibility’. Response: After further review of the subject properties it was determined that access was not a limiting factor for either alternative sites. However, further research identified developer commitment requirements within the Sungate PUD and we have provided additional supporting documentation to ensure the selected site at C.R. 951 and Golden Gate Boulevard is a superior site for the development. These additional items include the limited square footage for commercial use and requirements to provide water management for adjacent properties within the PUD and C.R. 951 right-of-way. Additionally, the Addie’s Corner PUD was eliminated from the analysis due to the recently amended PUD that would limit the commercial space to 4.32 acres, which is less than stated key criteria for the property. The minimum 5.0 acres was selected as a key criterion to ensure the future development would be able to construct a mixture of permitted land uses within the property; for example, accessory uses to the church, and multi- purpose fields. Please refer to the updated Data Analysis Report identifying Sungate as the only alternative site to the C.R. 951 and Golden Gate Blvd property with supporting documentation identifying our selected site as the best choice. There are a few spelling errors in this exhibit and some questionable wording, please correct or reword: • In “Contents” – Add an ‘a’ - Data & Analysis • In “Purpose and Focus,” paragraph 1, line 3 – Capitalize and add a ‘s’ – Conditional Us es Subdistrict • In “Purpose and Focus,” paragraph 1, line 6 – “…provide due process …” consider a different word choice. • In “Purpose and Focus,” paragraph 2, line 4 – add ‘dwelling unit’ • In “Purpose and Focus,” paragraph 3, lines 1 & 2 – Reword – the proposed location is not currently within the Conditional Uses Subdistrict • In “Alternative Site Analysis.” Paragraph 2, Line 3 – Change “permittable” to “permitted” • On Attachment ‘D’ Existing Congregation Location – Since you are proposing to build a 300-seat church, where do the rest of the parishioners live? Response: The referenced spelling errors have been corrected throughout the document. 12. Exhibit ‘T’ – Narrative and Justification of the Proposed GMP Amendment 1.c. – In response to Ch. 163.3187 (1)(c), Please revise your response to indicate the amendment does include text change that is directly related to a map change. Though the statutory provision reads, “goals, policies, and objectives”, it is applied as any change to the text of a comprehensive plan. Response: Exhibit “T” has been updated to indicate that the amendment does include a text change that is directly related to a map change. 13. Exhibit ‘U’ Planning Communities – This was incorrectly labeled as Exhibit ‘V’, however the List of Exhibits identified it as Exhibit ‘U’. Please correct the label/title. Response: The Planning Communities Exhibit has been properly labeled has Exhibit “U”. 14. Exhibit ‘V’ Future Land Use – The label/title is missing the ‘V’. Please correct the label. Although there is only one existing future land use on the subject site (Estates), please incorporate a summary table showing the acreage of the Estates within the subject site (see the application V.B.). Response: Exhibit “V” has been updated to be correctly labeled and the summary table also shows the acreage of the subject site. 15. Exhibit ‘Y’ Conditional Uses Subdistrict inset map – Please add a ‘s’ on the end of Uses in the map title. Staff believes the map title ending with “Special Provisions” is incorrect and should be removed from the title. This application is to amend “3. Conditional Uses Subdistrict, e. Special Exceptions to Conditional Use Locational Criteria” – not “3.b. Golden Gate Parkway and Collier Boulevard Special Provisions.” Response: The title of the inset map, labeled as Exhibit “Y”, has been updated per the email correspondence with Sue Faulkner on June 28th, 2017. 16. General Comments: • When uploading documents for submittal in the future, please include each of the Exhibit labels. Staff had to go back and rename each of the documents by adding the Exhibit labels. Response: All Exhibits labels have again been provided for each document being submitted. • Please submit all maps in color for future hard copy submissions. Response: Acknowledged. 17. Environmental Planning Sufficiency Comments : The subject property is 6.25 acres. Vegetation in the canopy consists of a mix of slash pine, cypress and cabbage palm. The acreage of native vegetation on site will be field verified by staff during review of the Conditional Use (CU) for the project. A listed species survey was conducted in March 23, 2017. No listed species or signs of listed species were observed on the property. Several wild pine (Tillandsia fasciculata) were observed in trees on the parcel and will be retained or relocated on site in accordance with the requirements of section 3.04.03 of the LDC. The general provision for protection of listed plants is included in CCME Policy 7.1.6. Letters from the Florida Master Site File dated March 8, 2017, list no previously recorded cultural resources on the subject property. The site will be subject to the requirement of accidental discovery of archaeological or historical sites as required by CCME Policy 11.1.3. The provision is also included in LDC section 2.03.07 E. The subject property is not located in any County well field protection zones. The proposed GMP amendment will have no effect on the requirements of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element. Native vegetation on site will be retained in accordance with the requirements of CCME Policy 6.1.1 and section 3.05.07 of the LDC. Response: Acknowledged. 18. Transportation Planning Sufficiency Comments: Please note: This petition request is sufficient for review; however, transportation planning staff is requesting changes to the master plan and CU (Conditional Use) language (the CU language is provided for information not as part of changes for the GMPA). The petition is sufficient for review; however, the number and location of the proposed third access onto 1st Avenue SW needs to be removed. Access onto local roads is limited by Access Management, plus the location at the extreme southwest corner increases the amount of traffic and length on the local road. Please remove this access from your request and the TIS. Informational comment: Provide as part of your CU request (not this GMPA) the following commitment: For services and other periods and events of significant traffic generation, as determined by Collier County staff, the property owner shall provide traffic control by law enforcement or a law enforcement approved service provider as directed by Collier County staff, with staffing and at location(s) as directed by the Collier County Division Director, Transportation Engineering or his designee. Response: The third access off 1st Ave SW has been eliminated, and the Conceptual Site Plan and TIS have been updated accordingly. Additionally, the language referenced above will be requested as a Zoning Condition of Approval, within the proposed Conditional Use Resolution. 19. Public Utilities Planning and Project Management Sufficiency Comments: Per GMP/CIE Policy 1.5, the potable water system LOSS is based on population. Non-residential development does not facilitate population growth. So, the proposed use will have no impact on potable water facility capacity. Please revise Exhibit “R” accordingly. Response: Exhibit “R” has been updated to state that the proposed non-residential development does not facilitate population growth. 20. Collier County Attorney’s Office Sufficiency Comments: Please provide Golden Gate Area Future Land Use Map, with subject site shown. This will be an attachment to the ordinance in addition to the text and Conditional use map. If you already provided it, please email it to me. Response: Per correspondence with Sue Faulkner, the Golden Gate Area Future Land Use Map, showing the subject property, will be updated and provided by County Staff. The acreage you provided is 6.25. The acreage according to the property appraiser is 6.64 acres. What is the correct number since the survey does not have the acreage on it? Response: The correct site acreage is 6.25 as shown on the survey.

Response Letter 2. Data & Analysis (Exhibit N) We offer the following responses to comments issued August 18, 2017: Exhibit ‘N’ Alternative Site Data & Analysis (Justification for the Location of the Proposed Amendment) – One alternative site was reviewed for this analysis: Sungate Commercial Planned Unit Development (CPUD). Sungate CPUD’s Ordinance #09-06 does not list churches as a permitted or accessory use, nor are there any conditional uses associated with this CPUD; therefore, the CPUD would need to be amended to permit a church use. There may be other locations that might be able to accommodate a church ‘by right’. Staff feels additional work is still needed with this Exhibit ‘N’. Upon review of your criteria that are being used for the analysis, we have the following comments: • Please consider using additional criteria (such as ‘property must be undeveloped’, specific site dimensions are needed, not just property size in acres, price of the property, etc.) • Since the actual proposed site is not zoned commercial, nor is it proposed, the criterion “Eligible for C-2 or higher zoning” doesn’t seem appropriate • Please consider including non-commercial zoning that might allow a church by right, or with a Conditional Use (properties that would not require a GMPA), such as non-residential uses in an Urban Designated area allows for churches. Also, Agricultural/Rural Designation or Mixed-Use Activity Centers allows community facilities such as churches. • Please explain your reasoning for locating with frontage on an arterial or collector roadway – is visibility important for this church? Response: The Data & Analysis (Exhibit N) has been updated to address the above comments. There are a few spelling errors in this exhibit and some questionable wording, please correct or reword: • In “Contents” – Add an ‘a’ – ‘Data & Analysis and Trade Area Analysis’ • In “Purpose and Focus,” paragraph 1, line 6 – “…provide due process…” consider a different word choice. • In “Purpose and Focus,” paragraph 2, line 4 – add ‘dwelling unit’ • In “Purpose and Focus,” paragraph 3, lines 1 & 2 – Reword – the proposed location is not currently within the Conditional Uses Subdistrict • In “Alternative Site Analysis.” Paragraph 2, Line 3 – Change “permittable” to “permitted” Response: Spelling errors have been corrected throughout the Data & Analysis (Exhibit N).

Response Letter 2. Data & Analysis (Exhibit N) We offer the following responses to the sufficiency letter issued December 4, 2017: • Please consider creating a map to show the three site locations discussed in Exhibit ‘N’. Response: Please refer to Attachment “F” within the Data & Analysis for the aforementioned site location map. • Please consider creating a table to quickly compare the criteria of the three sites for inclusion in Exhibit ‘N’. Response: A table has been added to the Data & Analysis. Please refer • Please consider elaborating on the sentence in paragraph 4 on page 4 of Exhibit ‘N’ to clarify for readers the “ongoing Golden Gate Area Master Plan Restudy”.

This was an issue that was brought up at the NIM. As I recall, Fred R. and myself fielded questions about what could be  done to calm the traffic along Weber Blvd. Members of the public had stated that they weren’t getting anywhere with  the County to install traffic calming measures to curb the speeding up and down the road that they were seeing and  experiencing.    In an email from Fred R. on October 13th, he mentioned that any calming measures on specific streets may be looked  and at discussed at the BCC level and that he had spoken with you about researching whether these were items that we  could add to the CU application; maybe as zoning conditions of approval to be voted on by the CCPC and the BCC. The  thought was to identify some measures that would make the adjacent neighbors feel better about the proposed non‐ residential use being permitted along the Weber Blvd right‐of‐way. This would obviously need to be voted on, but I think  his intent was to see how you felt about this or any other measure being added to the ordinance or the new proposed  subdistrict.    Thanks,    Frederick E. Hood, AICP  Senior Planner

Concern: I, Melania Budiu Hotaranu would like to express my support of the proposed the Small -Scale Growth Management Plan Amendment (Petition#: SSGMPA-PL20160002584/CPSS-2017-1) and the companion Conditional Use applications (CU - PL20160002577) for parcel numbers 36760800006 and 36760720005. I believe the project as proposed by the applicant, and their representatives at Davidson Engineering, is something that I would prefer over commercial or more intensive residential development in this location. I believe that the church and their representatives have been open to conversations about their project and the traffic issues that have been on the minds of other residents in our neighborhood. Please accept this email as support of the Grace Romanian Baptist Church and their proposed 300 -seat church and associated accessory uses. Sincerely, MELANIA BUDIU HOTARANU 3541 1st AVE SW NAPLES,FL 34117 Hello Ms. Sue Faulkner, I was asked to contact you in reference to this possible amendment located at the property at the corner of Collier Blvd and Golden Gate Blvd. The public hearing request is in reference to the building of a church there. (Please see attached photo below) I'd like to submit this letter, as I cannot personally attend the hearing, as a petition against the building of a church. My family and I live on Weber Blvd South just about a block away from this property. Modifying the amendment to allow the building of a church at this property, which would cause a lot more vehicular traffic, is definitely not what Weber Blvd South needs. Weber Blvd S is already used as a thru street for rush hour traffic Monday through Friday from Collier Blvd morning and evening, as well as for Big Cypress Elementary School Monday through Friday when school is in session, morning and afternoon. During the peak of these times, I refuse to walk on the sidewalk with my children along Weber Blvd S because of the consistent traffic speeding highly above the posted 30mph speed limit. I'm even very nervous about checking my mailbox. The Collier County Sheriff's Office has been requested numerous times to conduct speed enforcement along the road. There is no raised curb along the road and the sidewalk is only just feet away. In addition, recently new traffic patterns at the intersection of Golden Gate Blvd and Weber Blvd S, as well as the intersection of Weber Blvd S and White Blvd, have denied traffic from making left turns. The intersection of Golden Gate Blvd and Weber Blvd S has a raised median in place, but the intersection of Weber Blvd S and White Blvd has a painted median which many people consistently violate to make a left turn from Weber Blvd S to travel east on White Blvd. If the building of a church is granted there at that property, there will be an increase of vehicular traffic during church functions as well as on Sunday. That will be an additional day, making it 6 days a week of vehicular that travel on Weber Blvd S. My family and I politely request that this amendment is denied for the building of a place of worship, and to remain for residential structures only. Thank you.
