Agenda 05/14/2019 Item # 9C (Immokalee Area Master Plan - IAMP)05/14/2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve proposed amendments to the Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP) for transmittal to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and other agencies for review and objections, recommendations and comments (ORC) response. [Transmittal Hearing] OBJECTIVE: For the Board of County Commissioners (Board) to review and approve the proposed amendments to the IAMP for transmittal to DEO and other applicable agencies for review. CONSIDERATIONS: On February 10, 2015, the Board directed staff to initiate GMP “restudies” of four GMP master plans in eastern Collier County: Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, Golden Gate Area Master Plan, Rural Lands Stewardship Area, and Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP). The IAMP restudy formally began in January 2018. As with all restudies, through a public outreach effort, staff focused on complementary land uses, economic vitality, mobility and environmental sustainability. The Board appointed an ad hoc advisory committee, the Growth Management Oversight Committee (GMOC), which first convened in December 2015. The GMOC has directed the public engagement process of the restudies since inception. The GMOC reviews the restudy recommendations, emphasizing consistency among the restudies, sustainability and economic vitality. Unlike prior area restudies, however, the Board directed that staff, rather than appointed committees, provide recommendations to the Board covering each of the four areas. The White Paper, Attachment B, provides the summary of findings underlying the revisions to Goals, Objectives, Policies and Land Use Designation Descriptions within the IAMP. The White Paper (Attachment A) was presented to the Board on June 26, 2018. At that time, the Board directed staff to initiate the GMP Amendment process for the proposed changes to the IAMP. The Immokalee Urban area, surrounded by the rural agricultural area designated as the Rural Lands Stewardship Area, is a community of about 30 square miles containing ±17,116 acres of land. More than half of the land use within the Immokalee Urban area is presently agricultural (approximately 10,000 acres). The remainder is a mixture of residential, commercial, industrial, and airport uses. During 2003, the Board authorized Comprehensive Planning staff to prepare recommendations for revising the 1997 IAMP. Subsequently, the Board established the Immokalee Area Master Plan and Visioning Committee to work with staff in making proposed revisions to the IAMP. The Committee worked for over a four-year period conducting public meetings, collecting and analyzing data, and drafting revisions to the IAMP. Hearings on the proposed amendments commenced in January 2010 with transmittal to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (predecessor to DEO) occurring in September 2010. Adoption hearings followed, beginning in January 2011. Through the adoption phase, the Board directed the Collier County Supervisor of Elections to place a straw ballot referendum on the August 2012 ballot for the purpose of measuring the Immokalee community support for the proposed amendments. The referendum resulted in the majority of voters (67%) in favor of the amendments. At the Board's final adoption hearing on the proposed amendments, one Commissioner abstained, and the final vote was 3-1 for approval (adoption). Because a minimum of four affirmative votes was required, the proposed IAMP amendments failed to be adopted. With the current IAMP restudy process, staff began with the review of the extensive community work and resulting proposed amendments from a previous restudy effort. That draft IAMP document was used as a 9.C Packet Pg. 118 05/14/2019 starting point for further community consideration. The community’s recommendations and continued refinement of the IAMP is reflected in Attachment B, showing additions as underlines and deletions as strikethroughs. Also included in Attachment B is the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) that shows the changes between the adopted and proposed FLUM. Immokalee’s Vision: Through the IAMP restudy process, the residents of Immokalee saw new possibilities for their community. With this new Master Plan, Immokalee has chosen to focus on opportunities rather than challenges. Immokalee is committed to redefining its future, revitalizing its community, and developing a new vision and mission that focuses on strengthening and diversifying its economy, embracing cultural diversity, and welcoming visitors to “this place we call home.” During the 2018 public workshop process, residents and business owners created a guiding community vision. It is the intent to implement this vision through the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the proposed IAMP. The community defined its vision as: “Immokalee is a family-oriented community that supports a healthy lifestyle. It is attractive, environmentally sustainable and offers a full range of housing, recreation and education opportunities to meet all residents’ needs. Immokalee has a safe, well-connected network to walk and bicycle about town, as well as a roadway network needed to support the transport of goods and services. Business and job opportunities flourish in trade and distribution, agri-business, and ecotourism.” The proposed Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP) policy amendments, and changes associated with land use designations, implement the community’s established vision and the smart growth principles to: • Provide Mixed Land Uses • Promote Compact Building Design • Create a Range of Housing Opportunities and Choices • Create Walkable Neighborhoods • Foster Distinctive, Attractive Communities with a Strong Sense of Place • Preserve Open Space, Farmland, Natural Beauty and Critical Environmental Areas • Strengthen and Direct Development Towards Existing Communities • Provide a Variety of Transportation Choices • Make Development Decisions Predictable, Fair and Cost Effective • Encourage Community and Stakeholder Collaboration in Development Decisions. Mixed land uses are a critical component of achieving more livable places and transportation choices. The proposed IAMP provides a mix of land uses arranged in a coherent order of an urban to rural transect. Modifications to residential land use designations encourage compact building design, directed towards the developed area, and provide land owners opportunities to create more housing choices, such as the multi-family units. Proposed IAMP policies are intended to strengthen the quality of existing neighborhoods and create a process for making improvements more cost-effective. Transportation needs in Immokalee are strikingly different than coastal Collier County. Approximately 50% of Immokalee residents walk, bicycle and use transit. To support Immokalee residents’ housing and transportation needs, the IAMP must guide and support the smart growth principles of creating a range of housing opportunities in compact, walkable neighborhoods in close proximity to established commercial areas. 9.C Packet Pg. 119 05/14/2019 In general, the amendments to the IAMP propose seven new goals, each with respective objectives and policies, followed by the revised Land Use Designation Description Section. The revised goals simplify but maintain the original intent of the existing adopted goals. During each public workshop, staff reviewed with the public the adopted and proposed goals to measure the continued support for the proposed goals and land use designations. There was overwhelming consensus and a preference to move forward with the proposed IAMP. Consistent with the Board’s direction to evaluate and consider land use, economic vitality, transportation, and natural resources, the following are some of the more substantial changes proposed: Land Use and Economic Vitality The land use designations and policy amendments are intended to support the community’s number one goal of economic development, and • The re-designation of the lands within the boundary of the Immokalee Regional Airport from Industrial (I) to Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict (IRA); • A re-designation of approximately 684 acres of residential lands proposed to support commercial or industrial development; o ±122 acres to allow commercial development. Intensity of development is proposed to remain as allowed in the existing IAMP: C-1 through C-4 uses, o ±362 acres to allow industrial mixed-use development, and o ±200 acres to allow Recreational Tourist development • A re-designation of some low-density residential lands to medium density residential lands to support and encourage multi-family development in the right location; • No changes in base density except for an increase in the Commercial Mixed-Use District (12 to 16 units per acre), and affordable housing bonus previously approved by the BCC (bonus increased from 8 to 12 units per acre maximum); and • On outlying properties zoned (A) Rural Agricultural, within the Low Residential Subdistrict, diversify economic opportunities by including agriculture research and development facilities, agribusiness offices and headquarters, and facilities, offices, headquarters and apparatuses associated with renewable energy. These new uses will be subject to Land Development Code Amendments to establish compatibility criteria and development standards. Table 1 below illustrates the proposed changes to FLUM designations.

For ease of comparison of the industrial designation acreage, the adopted IAMP total Industrial is 2,644 acres, and the pr oposed IAMP is 3,002 acres. The location of changes in land use designations are reflected in Attachment B, IAMP FLUM - Existing vs. Proposed. In addition to the noted substantive land use changes, two specific opportunities were identified through this restudy effort as important to the community: 1) explore opportunities for an Immokalee civic center, and 2) coordinate with the community to further improve emergency preparedness. Transportation In large part, transportation choice is dependent on land use. If land use policy favors low density, auto - oriented development, all other modes of transportation suffer and are less desirable. In Immokalee, walking, cycling and using transit is a necessity for many. The IAMP must guide and support the smart growth principles of creating a range of housing opportunities in compact, walkable neighborhoods near established commercial areas. In addition to the land use policies supporting transportation needs, the IAMP include several policies to: • support the MPO’s Long Range Transportation improvements and the Walkability Plan; • continue coordination with FDOT projects; • identify incentives to bring private roads up to County standards; and • initiate a transportation planning study to identify potential new routes that will improve 9.C Packet Pg. 121 05/14/2019 connectivity of the collector and local street grid, to expand public transit service, and improve bicycle and pedestrian access. Natural Resources The boundary of the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay (LT/CKSSO) was adopted as part of the 2007 GMP amendments. Subsequent analysis by staff during the previous restudy yielded a different, more accurate boundary of this wetland. The revised boundary is part of this IAMP amendment. Advisory Committee Review The proposed IAMP has been reviewed by the Growth Management Oversight Committee (GMOC), the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Advisory (CRA) Board and the Collier County Planning Commission. At its meeting on September 6, 2018, the GMOC found the IAMP recommendations consistent with public participation direction, supportive of sustainability and economic vitality and , so far as known, consistent with other restudy planning efforts. At its meeting on November 28, 2018, the Immokalee CRA Advisory Board agreed unanimously to recommend approval to transmit the proposed amendments, with two suggested changes. The suggest ed changes have been incorporated into the proposed IAMP. COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION (CCPC) RECOMMENDATION: The CCPC reviewed and discussed the proposed IAMP during three meetings, January 31, 2019, February 21, 2019, and March 7, 2019. By a vote of 5-1, the CCPC recommended approval for transmittal of the GMP amendments subject to certain changes. In all cases, staff had no objection to the recommended changes, which are incorporated into the strikethrough/underline documents at hand. The specific CCPC recommended changes can be viewed in Attachment A, as revisions with double underline and double strikethrough. FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of the proposed GMPA process has been accounted for within the approved budget for the Zoning Division. The initiation of IAMP proposed studies or LDC amendments are anticipated to fall within current County staffing capacities and are expressed with flexibility to allow prioritization and coordination with other entities. GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) IMPACT: Approval of the proposed amendment by the Board for transmittal and its submission to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and other statutorily required review agencies will commence the Department’s thirty (30) day review process and ultimately return the amendment to the CCPC and the Board for Adoption hearings tentatively to be held in Fall of 2019. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This Growth Management Plan 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.” 163.3177(1)(f), FS. This item is approved as to form and legality. It requires a majority vote for approval because this is a transmittal hearing of the GMP amendment.

These are presented to the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC), in its capacity as the County’s Land Planning Agency under Florida Statutes and as the County’s Environmental Advisory Council (EAC), for consideration at Transmittal stage public hearings. Staff requests the CCPC and EAC forward these amendments to the Board of County Commissioners (Board) with a recommendation to transmit to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO). BACKGROUND On February 10, 2015, the Board directed staff to initiate GMP “restudies” of four GMP master plans in eastern Collier County: Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (RFMUD), Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP), Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA), and Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP). The IAMP restudy formally began in January 2018. As with all restudies, through a public outreach effort, staff focused on complementary land uses, economic vitality, mobility and environmental sustainability. The Board appointed an ad hoc advisory committee, the Growth Management Oversight Committee (GMOC), which first convened in December 2015. The GMOC has directed the public engagement process of the restudies since inception. The GMOC reviews the restudy recommendations from a high level, non-granular perspective, emphasizing consistency among the restudies, sustainability and economic vitality. Unlike prior area restudies, however, the Board directed that staff, rather than appointed committees, provide recommendations to the Board covering each of the four areas. The White Paper, Attachment B, provides the summary of findings underlying the revisions to Goals, Objectives, Policies and Land Use Designation Descriptions within the IAMP. The White Paper was presented to the Board on June 26, 2018. At that time, the Board directed staff to initiate the GMP Amendment process for the proposed changes to the IAMP. 9.C.a Packet Pg. 125 Attachment: Transmittal CCPC Staff Report_FNL (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) Agenda Item 9.A.1 ‒ 2 ‒ CPSP-2018-5 / PL20180002258 Staff Proposed Immokalee Area Master Plan Amendments The Immokalee Urban area, surrounded by the rural agricultural area designated as the Rural Lands Stewardship Area, is a region of about 30 square miles containing ±17,116 acres of land; it is located in northeast Collier County, approximately 30 miles from the coastal urban area. More than half of the land use type within the Immokalee Urban area is presently agricultural. The remainder is a mixture of residential, commercial and industrial uses. Immokalee is accessed from the south and east by its major roadway, Immokalee Road (CR 846). State Road 29 provides acces s into the community from the northern counties of Lee and Hendry and to the southeast areas of Collier County (see below aerial map depicting the Immokalee Urban boundary). A Brief History: The Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) adopted the Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP) in 1991. The Master Plan, with the accompanying Immokalee Area Future Land Use Map, provides a framework for development of the Immokalee Community. The Board of County Commissioners adopted a revised IAMP in 1997, based upon the 1996 Evaluation and Appraisal Report (a State-mandated thorough review of the entire GMP). During 2003, the BCC authorized Comprehensive Planning staff to prepare recommendations for revising the 1997 IAMP. Subsequently, the Board authorized creation of an advisory committee, the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Committee (Restudy Committee), to work with staff in making proposed revisions to the IAMP. 9.C.a Packet Pg. 126 Attachment: Transmittal CCPC Staff Report_FNL (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) Agenda Item 9.A.1 ‒ 3 ‒ CPSP-2018-5 / PL20180002258 Staff Proposed Immokalee Area Master Plan Amendments The Restudy Committee, assisted by Comprehensive Planning staff, submitted recommendatio ns to amend the IAMP in November 2003. However, during the performance of its tasks, the Committee determined that a longer, more intense restudy of the IAMP was necessary. Therefore, the IAMP Restudy Committee expressed a desire to extend the life of the Committee so that it could continue to assist the Board with the implementation the IAMP. The re-established Committee was renamed as the Immokalee Area Master Plan and Visioning Committee (IMPVC). The Committee worked for over a four-year period conducting public meetings, collecting and analyzing data, and drafting revisions to the IAMP. Hearings on the proposed amendments commenced in January 2010 with transmittal to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (predecessor to DEO) occurring in September 2010. Adoption hearings followed, beginning in January 2011. Through the adoption phase, the BCC directed the Collier County Supervisor of Elections to place a straw ballot referendum on the August 2012 ballot for the purpose of measuring the Immokalee community support for the proposed amendments. The referendum resulted in the majority of voters (67%) in favor of the amendments. At the BCC's final adoption hearing on the proposed amendments, one Commissioner abstained, and the final vote was 3-1 for approval (adoption). Because a minimum of four affirmative votes was required, the proposed IAMP amendments failed to be adopted. Through the current IAMP restudy process, staff and the Immokalee community honored the extensive work that had taken place in the previous amendment effort. The final IAMP document presented to the BCC was used as a starting point for further consideration. The community’s work and additional refinement of their plan is reflected in Attachment A (and Resolution Exhibit A). Immokalee’s Vision: Through the County’s public outreach during the Immokalee Area Master Plan restudy process, it is clear that the residents of Immokalee see new possibilities for their community with the development of this Master Plan. With this new Master Plan, Immokalee has chosen to focus on opportunities rather than challenges. Immokalee is committed to redefining its future, r evitalizing its community, and developing a new mission that focuses on strengthening and diversifying its economy, embracing cultural diversity, and welcoming visitors to “this place we call home.” During the 2018 public workshop process, residents and business owners established a guiding community vision. It is the intent to implement this vision through the Goals, Objectives and Policies of this Master Plan. The community defined their vision as: “Immokalee is a family-oriented community that supports a healthy lifestyle. It is attractive, environmentally sustainable and offers a full range of housing, recreation and education opportunities to meet all residents’ needs. Immokalee has a safe, well-connected network to walk and bicycle about town, as well as a roadway network needed to support the transport of goods and services. Business and job opportunities flourish in trade and distribution, agri- business, and ecotourism.” Major Changes: In general, the amendments to the IAMP propose seven new goals , each with respective objectives and policies; followed by the revised Land Use Designation Description Section. The revised goals simplify but maintain the original intent of the existing adopted goals. During each public workshop, staff reviewed with the public the adopted and proposed goals to measure the continued support for the proposed goals. There was overwhelming consensus and a preference to move forward with the proposed goals. The Immokalee Area Master Plan has been developed to emphasize identified opportunities and strengths. The first goal specifically makes economic development a priority, and the 9.C.a Packet Pg. 127 Attachment: Transmittal CCPC Staff Report_FNL (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) Agenda Item 9.A.1 ‒ 4 ‒ CPSP-2018-5 / PL20180002258 Staff Proposed Immokalee Area Master Plan Amendments objectives and policies set forth specific ways to promote the local economy and create a positive business climate. The second goal focuses on quality neighborhoods for Immokalee. The objectives and policies set forth a process for the community to evaluate the needs and opportunities of each neighborhood. Future neighborhood improvements such as housing conditions, water management, transportation, lighting and play areas, are possibilities to elevate the quality of life for Immokalee residents. The third goal addresses infrastructure and public services. Partnering with the Immokalee CRA, a list of capital improvement projects will be presented to the Board of County Commissioners at their annual CRA workshop. The fourth goal addresses the significant natural resources within the Immokalee Urban Area and the desire to support and promote ecotourism opportunities. Land use is an integral component of any master plan. The fifth goal defines the land use designations applicable to Immokalee, as illustrated on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map. Mixed-use, pedestrian- scaled development is important, as is allowing development in appropriate locations, at densities and intensities that will attract new development. Urban form and design are addressed in the sixth goal. The objectives and policies are generally concerned with how to create a theme or brand for Immokalee, provide safe multi-modal transportation, and develop site design and development standards appropriate for Immokalee, rather than continuing to apply standards developed for coastal Collier. The seventh and last goal, is concerned with interlocal and intergovernmental coordination, to address current service issues and to continue collaboration with appropriate organizations in the future. Consistent with the Board’s direction to evaluate and consider land use, economic vitality, transportation and natural resources, the following are some of the major changes proposed: Land Use and Economic Vitality • The re-designation of the lands within the boundary of the Immokalee Regional Airport from Industrial (ID) to Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict (APO). • A re-designation of approximately 684 acres of residential lands proposed to support commercial or industrial development: o ±122 acres to allow commercial development. Intensity of development is proposed to remain as allowed in the existing IAMP: C-1 through C-4 uses, o ±362 acres to allow industrial mixed-use development, and o ±200 acres to allow Recreational Tourist development. • No changes in base density except for an increase in the Commercial Mixed-Use District (12 to 16 units per acre), and affordable housing bonus previously approved by the BCC (bonus increased from 8 to 12 units per acre maximum). • Allow new uses on properties zoned (A) Rural Agricultural, within the Low Residential Subdistrict, including agriculture research and development facilities, agribusiness offices and headquarters, and facilities, offices, headquarters and apparatuses associated with alternative energy uses. These new uses will be subject to Land Development Code Amendments to define compatibility criteria and development standards. 9.C.a Packet Pg. 128 Attachment: Transmittal CCPC Staff Report_FNL (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) Agenda Item 9.A.1 ‒ 5 ‒ CPSP-2018-5 / PL20180002258 Staff Proposed Immokalee Area Master Plan Amendments Table 1 below illustrates the proposed changes to FLUM designations.

In addition to these substantive land use changes, two specific opportunities were identified as important to the community to explore: 1) an Immokalee civic center, and 2) a satellite Emergency Operations Center to activate in the event of an emergency. Transportation • Collier County will initiate a transportation planning study with recommendations to identify potential routes to improve connectivity of the collector and local street grid, to expand public transit service, and bicycle and pedestrian access. In addition to the IAMP supporting the MPO’s Long Range Transportation improvements for Immokalee, the IAMP also recognizes the need for local street improvements, and incentives to bring private roads up to County standards. Natural Resources • Re-configuration of the boundary of the Wetlands Connected To Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay (see attached Map 1). The boundary of the Wetlands Connected To Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay (LT/CKSSO) was adopted as part of the 2007 GMP amendments. As part of this change, policies were added to the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) to increase the native vegetation retention requirements. Subsequent analysis by staff yielded a different, more accurate boundary of this wetland. The revised boundary is part of this amendment petition. 9.C.a Packet Pg. 129 Attachment: Transmittal CCPC Staff Report_FNL (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) Agenda Item 9.A.1 ‒ 6 ‒ CPSP-2018-5 / PL20180002258 Staff Proposed Immokalee Area Master Plan Amendments GROWTH MANAGMENENT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE (GMOC) RECOMMENDATION At its meeting on September 6, 2018, the GMOC found the IAMP recommendations consistent with public participation direction, supportive of sustainability and economic vitality and, so far as known, consistent with other restudy planning efforts. IMMOKALEE CRA ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION At its meeting on November 28, 2018, the Immokalee CRA Advisory Board agreed unanimously to recommend approval to transmit the proposed amendments, with two suggested changes as underlined below: 1) Policy 2.1.1 – Within two (2) years…to identify opportunities, including but not limited to, to improve neighborhood recreation… 2) Policy 3.3.4 – Recognizing that a significant segment…improve connectivity of collector and local street grid to public transit service, evacuation, and bicycle and pedestrian access. Staff agrees with the intent of the language additions; however, after discussing Policy 3.3.4 with Emergency Management staff, it was determined that the word “evacuation” has potential legal implications associated with hurricane evacuation that were not sp ecifically intended. CRA Advisory Board members’ discussion of the policy was more focused on the need for alternative routes in case of a car crash, fire, or other emergency in an area with limited access. Staff recommends replacing the word “evacuation” with “public safety.” LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: 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.

INTRODUCTION 1 Immokalee has long been recognized as a distinct community within Collier County. 2 Immokalee’s economy, geography, and demographic make-up are different than the rest of 3 Collier County. Approximately one-half of the land within the Immokalee Urban Area is presently 4 zoned and actively used for agriculture. The urban area is surrounded by productive crop lands 5 and environmentally significant habitat. Most Immokalee residents work within the agricultural 6 industry, and the majority of agricultural laborers originate from Mexico and Central America. 7 Statistics from the 2010 Census (the most comprehensive data for Immokalee currently 8 available), comparing Immokalee to the County as a whole, reflect some of the key socio- 9 economic differences, including age distribution, race and ethnicity, income, education and 10 housing. 11 The Immokalee Area Planning Commission was formed in 1965, and Immokalee was governed 12 under separate Zoning and Subdivision Regulations until 1982. While it is now included under 13 the county-wide Land Development Code, in 1991 the County again acknowledged the need for 14 Immokalee-specific land use regulation with the adoption of the first Immokalee Area Master 15 Plan as an element in the County’s overall comprehensive plan. 16 Collier County first established the Immokalee Area as a Planning Community in its 1983 17 Comprehensive Plan. In 1989, the County adopted revisions to the comprehensive plan, now 18 called the Growth Management Plan (GMP), which included a requirement to develop an area 19 master plan for Immokalee. In 1991, the County adopted the first Immokalee Area Master Plan 20 (IAMP), as referenced in Policy 4.32 of the Future Land Use Element: 21 22 A detailed Master Plan for the Immokalee Urban designated area has been developed and was 23 incorporated into this Growth Management Plan in February 1991. Major revisions were 24 adopted in 1997 following the 1996 Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The Immokalee Area 25 Master Plan addresses conservation, future land use, population, recreation, transportation, 26 housing, and the local economy. Major purposes of the Master Plan are coordination of land 27 uses and transportation planning, redevelopment or renewal of blighted areas, and the 28 promotion of economic development. 29 30 The IAMP is in addition to and supplements the goals, objectives, and policies, of the Collier 31 County Growth Management Plan. Due to the unique geographic, social, and economic 32 characteristics of the Immokalee Urban Designated Area as compared with urban Naples, 33 Coastal Collier County, and the State of Florida as a whole, the Board of County 34 Commissioners deemed it necessary to restudy the Immokalee Urban Designated Area. On 35 May 27, 2003, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2003-192, which 36 established the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Committee as an ad hoc advisory 37 committee to the board. The Committee was to serve for a period of one year. On September 38 28, 2004, the Board adopted Ordinance 2004-62, extending the timeframe for the advisory 39 committee and renaming it the Immokalee Master Plan and Visioning Committee (IMPVC). On 40 November 13, 2007, the Board adopted Ordinance 2007-69, which extended the timeframe 41 again, providing for dissolution of the committee no later than December 31, 2009. The purpose 42 Attachment 'A"9.C.b Packet Pg. 133 Attachment: Transmittal Attachment "A" to CCPC Staff Report (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 2 Words underlined are added; words struck-through are deleted and duties of the Committee remain the same: 1 2 A. Assist in the development of any necessary Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for consulting 3 services. 4 B. Assist County staff with the review of general planning matters related to the Immokalee 5 Community. These could include housing, zoning, economic and/or other issues as may be 6 brought before the Committee. 7 C. Identify and provide the Board of County Commissioners the Committee recommendations 8 relative to: 9 1. road improvements; 10 2. economic incentives; 11 3. increasing the quality and quantity of affordable housing; 12 4. land uses and improvements relative to the Immokalee Regional Airport; 13 5. density increases in mixed-use districts; 14 6. restructuring of future land use designations and designation boundaries within the 15 Immokalee community; 16 7. the facilitation of construction of commercial development in commercial districts; 17 8. the preparation of revisions to current zoning districts and the development of associated 18 LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as amended) standards; and 19 9. the review of the 5-year Schedule of Capital Improvements relative to the Immokalee 20 community. 21 D. Assist in the development of revised goals, objectives, and policies, and land use 22 designation descriptions for the Immokalee Area Master Plan. 23 E. Assist in the review and updating of the Immokalee Area Master Plan in order to establish 24 consistency between the Master Plan and the County Rural Lands Stewardship Area 25 Overlay provisions. 26 27 The IMPVC worked steadily towards achieving these goals. However, by 2012 tThe adoption of 28 the revised IAMP and revised Immokalee Master Plan Future Land Use Map remained out of 29 reach and no amendments were made to the IAMP. represents the first step in completing the 30 objectives of the Committee. The Collier County LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as amended) will be 31 updated next to implement the Goal, Objectives, and Policies of the IAMP, followed closely by 32 an update to the Capital Improvements Plan, and the creation of a long-term transportation plan. 33 34 In 2015, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to update four area master plans 35 including the Immokalee Area Master Plan. Staff then engaged the Immokalee community in a 36 review of the significant work accomplished during the previous restudy. The amendments to 37 the IAMP found herein are a result of the Immokalee residents and business owners continued 38 focus and effort to improve the land use policies that will regulate growth in their community. 39 Attachment 'A"9.C.b Packet Pg. 134 Attachment: Transmittal Attachment "A" to CCPC Staff Report (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 3 Words underlined are added; words struck-through are deleted An integral component of Immokalee’s future is the Collier County Community Redevelopment 1 Agency (CRA). Established in 2000 by the Board of County Commissioners, the Agency’s 2 mission is to eliminate blighted conditions as identified under Chapter 163, Part 3 of the F lorida 3 Statutes. The Board of County Commissioners is the ex-officio board of the CRA. In 2000, the 4 BCC adopted the Collier County Community Redevelopment Plan that included two 5 redevelopment areas: Bayshore/Gateway Triangle and Immokalee. 6 7 In 2000, the Immokalee CRA Local Redevelopment Advisory Board was created and members 8 from the community were appointed to provide recommendations to the CRA to implement the 9 redevelopment plan and the allocation of tax increment revenues generated by increased 10 property values. Over the years, the Immokalee CRA Local Advisory Board has served as a 11 vehicle to bring forward community needs and interests. 12 13 For the purposes of this Plan, the Immokalee CRA is defined to reference the Immokalee 14 component of the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency. 15 16 17 II. NEW DIRECTIONS 18 Through the County’s public outreach during the Immoalee Area Master Plan restudy process, it 19 is clear that Tthe residents of Immokalee see new possibilities for their community with the 20 development of this Master Plan. With the development of this new Master Plan, Immokalee has 21 chosen to focus on opportunities rather than challenges. Immokalee is committed to redefining 22 its future, revitalizing its community, and developing a new mission that focuses on 23 strengthening and diversifying its economy, embracing cultural diversity, and welcoming visitors 24 to “this place we call home.” 25 During the 2018 public workshop process, residents and business owners established a guiding 26 community vision. It is the intent to implement this vision through the Goals, Objectives and 27 Policies of this Master Plan. The community defined their vision as: 28 “Immokalee is a family-oriented community that supports a healthy lifestyle. It is 29 attractive, environmentally sustainable and offers a full range of housing, recreation and 30 education opportunities to meet all residents’ needs. Immokalee has a safe, well-31 connected network to walk and bicycle about town, as well as a roadway network 32 needed to support the transport of goods and services. Business and job opportunities 33 flourish in trade and distribution, agri-business, and ecotourism.” 34 Economic opportunity lies in Immokalee’s diverse community. Many residents have roots in 35 Mexico, Central America, Haiti, and various other Caribbean nations. This multicultural heritage 36 should be embraced and used to develop a local marketing strategy. This diversity should guide 37 the redevelopment and design of downtown in order to create a distinct area that will attract new 38 business and visitors. Revitalization of the Main Street commercial corridor will be designed to 39 embrace this cultural diversity; take advantage of the traffic generated by the Immokalee 40 Seminole Casino Hotel and the growing Stewardship Receiving Areas, including the Town of 41 Attachment 'A"9.C.b Packet Pg. 135 Attachment: Transmittal Attachment "A" to CCPC Staff Report (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 4 Words underlined are added; words struck-through are deleted Ave Maria; and create new public plazas and gathering spaces. These public plazas and 1 spaces will be designed within an appropriate streetscape to foster walkability and a mixture of 2 uses, including entertainment and cultural events, and will position Immokalee to attract new 3 residents and visitors to the downtown area. 4 The diversity of Immokalee extends to its unique natural surroundings, which can also be a 5 great benefit to the local economy. Lake Trafford, at Immokalee’s western boundary, as well as 6 other adjacent vast natural areas, which include historic working ranches, provide an excellent 7 opportunity to market Immokalee as an ecotourist destination. Immokalee provides a gateway to 8 the Everglades, a world-renowned ecotourist destination. Ecotourists come to an area to 9 experience the natural, rather than the built, environment. Lake Trafford and its environs offer 10 opportunities for boating, fishing, camping, and hiking, and the chance to experience natural 11 Florida and this freshwater frontier. 12 Agriculture continues to be the major local industry and Immokalee residents recognize 13 emerging opportunities for new agricultural-related businesses. Increasing fuel costs, 14 apprehension related to food security, and environmental concerns have increased the demand 15 for safe, sustainable, and domestically produced foods and energy sources. Immokalee has an 16 opportunity to create a new farmers’ market or expand the existing state farmers’ market to 17 serve the regional demand for fresh produce. 18 Additionally, residents see opportunities emerging from the regional economy and the strategic 19 location of Immokalee in the region. Immokalee will not remain isolated in the future. One state 20 arterial (SR 29) runs through the downtown, while another ends just three miles north of 21 downtown (SR 82). A major county road (CR 846, Immokalee Road), connects Immokalee to I -22 75. Planned capacity improvements to SR 82 and SR 29 will open up the area to more travel, 23 and planned roadway expansions, including a SR 29 Loop, will further improve the accessibility 24 to and from Immokalee, helping it to become a tourist destination and a distribution center for 25 goods and services. 26 Improvements to the roadway system, both regionally and within the Immokalee Urban Area, 27 are just one part of how the overall transportation network will improve in impact the future. The 28 Immokalee Regional Airport (IMM) is designated as an official U.S. Port of Entry, with its own 29 full-service Customs Office, supporting both international and domestic trade opportunities, and 30 is a growing cargo service airport. Incentives to encourage economic development at the IMM 31 include Tthe Florida Tradeport which operates within a Foreign Trade Zone (#213), State 32 Enterprise Zone, Federal Enterprise Community, and the Historically Underutilized Business 33 (HUBub) Zone. ItIMM provides direct access to over 2,000 acres of industrial-zoned property 34 and two paved 5,000 x 150- foot runways equipped for Global Position Satellite (GPS) and 35 instrument approaches. 36 The opportunities available through development of the Tradeport are particularly significant 37 given that in 2012 the Collier County Office of Business and Economic Development (OBED) 38 Economic Development Council of Collier County (EDC) estimateds the County will need an 39 additional 3,685 acres of new business park lands by 2030. The OBEDEDC has been working 40 Attachment 'A"9.C.b Packet Pg. 136 Attachment: Transmittal Attachment "A" to CCPC Staff Report (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 5 Words underlined are added; words struck-through are deleted to attract research clusters to Collier County to diversify the economy, which is currently highly 1 dependent on only three industries: agriculture, construction, and tourism and services. The 2 three targeted industry clusters are: health and life science; computer software and services; 3 and distribution. Given its location, access to major roads, connectivity wit h other parts of the 4 state, availability of developable land, and the airport, Immokalee is a prime location for the new 5 distribution industry that the OBEDEDC has identified as being vital to the growth and 6 diversification of Collier County’s economy. 7 Another potential for economic growth lies in anticipated development in areas surrounding 8 Immokalee. As new towns in eastern Collier County develop, needed government services and 9 departments could be centrally located in Immokalee to serve the eastern portion of the 10 County. 11 12 III. IMMOKALEE AREA MASTER PLAN PRIORITIES 13 The Immokalee Area Master Plan has been developed to emphasize these identified 14 opportunities and strengths. The first goal requires the development of an Immokalee specific 15 prioritized list of capital improvements and other activities desired to be funded each year. 16 Overall, each of the eight goals support economic development and diversity, but Goal Two, 17 specifically makes economic development a priority, and the objectives and policies set forth 18 specific ways to promote and diversify the local economy and create a positive business 19 climate. 20 The second third goal, and its objective and policies, deal with focuses on quality 21 neighborhoods. An Immokalee Neighborhood Map has been created by the community to begin 22 the process of evaluating the needs of each neighborhood. Future neighborhood improvements 23 such as housing conditions, water management, transportation, lighting and play areas, are 24 encourage to elevate the quality of life for Immokalee residents. housing. Mobile homes have 25 historically provided a significant percentage of the housing in Immokalee, and have provided 26 affordable homes. Adequate housing for farmworkers must continue to be addressed. Gap 27 housing and other “market-rate” housing, which provides housing for middle-class families, has 28 been historically underrepresented in the Immokalee market. Affordable-workforce housing will 29 continue to be needed in the community. Note that the terms Gap and Affordable Workforce 30 Housing are defined in the Collier County LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as amended). 31 The fourth third goal and set of objectives addresses infrastructure and public services. Parks 32 and recreational opportunities to serve the young families in Immokalee are the first public 33 infrastructure item discussed. Transportation is a major component of any community’s public 34 infrastructure needs, and while county-wide issues are still dealt with in the county 35 Transportation Element, this portion addresses Immokalee’s local roads and needed public 36 safety improvements to protect pedestrians and bicyclists. Other important public services 37 include stormwater management and solid waste, which are addressed as well. 38 The fifth fourth goal addresses and related objective deals with natural resource protection and 39 how to promote eco-tourism within Immokalee. While the Conservation and Coastal 40 Management Element still applies, significant natural resources within the Immokalee Urban 41 Attachment 'A"9.C.b Packet Pg. 137 Attachment: Transmittal Attachment "A" to CCPC Staff Report (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 6 Words underlined are added; words struck-through are deleted Area and ecotourism opportunities are addressed here. 1 Land use is an integral component of any master plan., and the sixth The fifth goal and its 2 objective and policies deal with this issue. Defines the land use designations applicable to 3 Immokalee, and as illustrated on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map. Mixed-use, pedestrian-4 scaled development is important, as is allowing development in appropriate locations, at 5 densities and intensities that will attract new development. 6 Urban form and design are addressed in the seventh sixth goal. These objectives and policies 7 are generally concerned with how to create a theme or brand for Immokalee, pr ovide safe multi- 8 modal transportation, and develop site design and development standards appropriate for 9 Immokalee, rather than continuing to apply standards developed for coastal Collier. 10 The eighth seventh and last goal, is objective, and related policies are concerned with interlocal 11 and intergovernmental coordination, to address current service issues and to continue 12 collaboration with appropriate organizations in the future. 13 14 IV.

Industrial – Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict 21 The purpose of this Subdistrict is to allow the Collier County Airport Authority (CCAA) and 22 leaseholders to develop the Immokalee Regional Airport and surrounding lands for the 23 economic health and development of the greater Immokalee area and Collier County as a 24 whole. Because the CCAA needs to retain flexibility to provide various general aviation and 25 revenue-generating opportunities via land leases as the Airport grows and changes over 26 time, a broad range of uses shall be allowed in this Subdistrict. In addition to all uses 27 permitted in the Industrial Subdistrict, allowable uses include: airport facility and related 28 accessory uses; commercial, industrial, institutional and agricultural uses; freight and 29 warehousing; trade; and ancillary recreational, vehicular racing, communications and 30 essential service uses. 31 32 C. OVERLAYS AND FEATURES 33 1. Wetlands Connected to Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay 34 The Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the GMP, Policy 6.2.4(4), 35 identifies possible high-quality wetland systems connected to the Lake Trafford/Camp 36 Keais Strand system within the Immokalee Urban Area. These wetlands require greater 37 protection measures than wetlands located in other portions of the Immokalee Urban 38 Designated Area., and therefore the wetland protection standards set forth in Policy 39 6.2.5 of the CCME will be revised as part of the next available Growth Management 40 Amendment cycle to provide appropriate native vegetation standards for the LT/CKSSO 41 based upon additional ecological data and analysis. These wetlands are identified on 42 Attachment 'A"9.C.b Packet Pg. 164 Attachment: Transmittal Attachment "A" to CCPC Staff Report (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 33 Words underlined are added; words struck-through are deleted the Immokalee Future Land Use Map by the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System 1 Overlay (LT/CKSSO). 2 3 The Density and Intensity Blending provisions of this Master Plan may be utilized for 4 lands within this LT/CKSSO. The maximum allowable gross density for lands within the 5 LT/CKSSO is the base density established for the applicable Subdistrict. Lands within 6 the LT/CKSSO are not eligible for any density bonuses, including by right. Essential 7 Services shall be limited to: those necessary to ensure public safety; and, those 8 necessary to serve permitted uses, such as private wells and septic tanks, utility lines, lift 9 stations, and water pumping stations. 10 11 The additional wetland protection measures do not apply to properties within the 12 LT/CKSSO that have been legally cleared of native vegetation as of the adoption of this 13 Master Plan, but do apply to all new development and redevelopment pursuant to the 14 applicable nonconforming provisions set forth in the LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as 15 amended). 16 17 If development on the Seminole Reservation functionally severs the connectivity of the 18 wetland system for properties within the LT/CKSSO, east of the Reservation, the 19 additional wetland protection measures will not be applied to those severed eastern 20 wetlands. The standard measures for wetlands in Urban designated lands shall be 21 applied, as described in the CCME, to those severed eastern wetlands. 22 23 2. Seminole Reservation (SR) Feature 24 The Seminole Reservation within Immokalee comprises approximately 600 acres of 25 largely undeveloped land owned by the Seminole Tribal Council and located on the east 26 side of First Street, South of (SR 29). The Seminole Reservation is not controlled or 27 regulated by the Collier County Growth Management Plan or LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as 28 amended) and is identified on the Future Land Use Map for illustrative purposes only. 29 30 3. Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area Feature 31 In order for local governments to designate a geographic area within its jurisdiction as an 32 Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area pursuant to Section 163.2517 (4), Florida Statutes, 33 it must amend its comprehensive land use plan to delineate the boundaries within the 34 Future Land Use Element. The Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area is consistent with 35 criteria outlined in Section 163.2514(2) (a)-(e), Florida Statutes. The intent of this 36 delineation is to comprehensively address the urban problems within the area consistent 37 with the goals of this plan. The Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area was adopted by 38 Ordinance 2000-66 and the Urban Infill and Redevelopment Plan was adopted by 39 Ordinance 2000-71. 40 41 4. Industrial – Mixed Use Commercial Overlay 42 The Industrial - Mixed Use Commercial Overlay is depicted on the IAMP Future Lands 43 Attachment 'A"9.C.b Packet Pg. 165 Attachment: Transmittal Attachment "A" to CCPC Staff Report (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 34 Words underlined are added; words struck-through are deleted Use Map and comprises approximately 363 acres. This Overlay allows the uses of the 1 underlying Industrial - Mixed Use Subdistrict except that commercial uses - those 2 permitted in the C-4 and C-5 zoning districts in the Land Development Code, Ordinance 3 No. 04-41, as amended - are limited to a maximum of thirty percent (30%) of the Overlay 4 land area (approximately 109 acres). To implement this Overlay, Collier County shall 5 initiate a Land Development Code amendment within two years of adoption. 6 7 To ensure compatibility and ameliorate impacts on For lands in this Overlay that are 8 adjacent to residentially or agriculturally zoned properties (including A-Rural Agricultural 9 or E-Estates zoned properties), a minimum 75-foot building setback, which includes a 10 minimum 20-foot wide vegetated landscape buffer, shall be provided. This vegetated 11 buffer shall be located adjacent to the property line and shall contain, at a minimum, two 12 staggered rows of trees that shall be spaced no more than 30 feet on center, and a 13 double row hedge at least 24 inches in height at time of planting and attaining a 14 minimum of three feet in height within one year. Existing native trees must be retained 15 within this 20-foot wide buffer area to aid in achieving this buffer requirement; other 16 existing native vegetation shall be retained, where possible, to aid in achieving this 17 buffer requirement. Water retention/detention areas shall be allowed in this buffer area if 18 left in natural state, and drainage conveyance through the buffer area shall be allowed if 19 necessary to reach an external outfall.

The IAMP 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 IAMP is the third 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. The Community Planning staff in the Zoning Division of the Growth Management Department provide this document to describe the history and status the IAMP (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 results. The basic structure of the current IAMP 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 IAMP. Both sections guide the Code of Ordinances and Land Development Code in enactment and updated amendments. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 175 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 3 Section 2: Background History of the Immokalee Area Master Plan When Collier County was formed in 1923, the only non-coastal settlement in Collier County was located in the Immokalee and Corkscrew areas. Today, Immokalee is the only community of considerable size in interior Collier County. Immokalee was first settled by the Seminole Indians, who used the land as a camping and resting place. Hunters, cattlemen, and India n traders were the next inhabitants of Immokalee. They found their way to Immokalee around the middle of the 19 th century. No permanent settlers appeared in Immokalee until 1872. Immokalee has been known by several different names, changing with its varied settlers. The Seminoles gave Immokalee the name ―Gopher Ridge because of the unusual number of land turtles and gophers in the area. Immokalee was also known at one time as ―Allen Place after William Allen, one of the first settlers. The Community received its current name, Immokalee, meaning my home, in October 1897 with the naming of the first post office. The name was suggested by Bishop William Crane Gray, who argued that the name should be a Seminole word with pleasant associations. The population in Immokalee continued to grow, and the first school and church opened not long after the establishment of the post office. Immokalee possessed all the elements of a flourishing community, but was relatively isolated until 1921, when the Atlantic Coast Line Railway Company (ACL) expanded its lines south from LaBelle and broke the isolation. Before the railroad was extended to Immokalee, trips were made by waterway or by sand trails, which were terrible for traveling during the wet season. When Collier County was created in 1923, the transportation situation for the 74 citizens of Immokalee did not immediately improve. In fact, in order to reach the County seat at Everglades (now known as Everglades City), the residents of Immokalee had to first g o to the County seat of Lee County, Fort Myers, and then by boat to Everglades City, or they could drive south along poor road conditions to Marco Island and continue from Caxambas by boat. Barron Collier and his associates were aware of the importance of opening a direct route from Immokalee to Everglades City. They made a strenuous effort to open a North -South road and to induce the ACL to extend its lines to Everglades City. Efforts continued for the building of a roadway into Immokalee, but the transportation problem was not resolved until Immokalee Road (CR -846) was rebuilt and resurfaced a second time in 1955-56. With such a major improvement in the transportation system, Immokalee became a thriving center for ranching, farming, and lumbering. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 176 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 4 The Immokalee community, with the improvements in transportation and its increasing popularity as an agricultural community, began to witness an influx of residents to the area. With such growth came the need for regulations to manage the activities occurr ing in the area. The Board of County Commissioners established an Immokalee Area Planning Commission (IAMPC) in October of 1965. The Community had its own Zoning and Subdivision Regulations, separate from the coastal area of Collier County. The Immokalee Area was governed under its own Zoning Ordinance until January 1982, when a unified Zoning Ordinance was adopted for the entire unincorporated Collier County. The duties of the IAMPC continued until September 1985 when the Collier Planning Commission was established with representatives from all areas within Collier County. Today, there is one representatives from County Commission District 5, which includes Immokalee, however the District 5 representative is from Golden Gate Estates, so there is not a representative from Immokalee serving on the Collier County Planning Commission. History of Planning Efforts in Immokalee Immokalee has long been recognized as a distinct community within Collier County due to its unique geographic, social, and economic characteristics. This distinction led to the establishment of the Immokalee Area Planning Commission in 1965 and separate zoning and subdivision regulations, which were in effect through 1982. While Immokalee is now regulated through the county -wide Land Development Code, Collier County reaffirmed the distinctive nature of Immokalee by designating it as a distinct Planning Community in the 1983 Comprehensive Plan. In 1989, Collier County adopted revisions to the comprehensive plan, and recommended that an area master plan for Immokalee be developed. This was completed in 1991 with the establishment of the Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP) as a separate element of the GMP. The IAMP supplements the county-wide goals, objectives, and policies of the Collier County GMP by providing Immokalee-specific provisions. On March 14, 2000, the Collier County Commission made a finding of conditions of blight for Immokalee through Resolution 2000-82, allowing for the establishment of the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). The purpose of the CRA is not to create policy, as found within the GMP and IAMP, but rather to encourage economic and social improvement in the urban areas of Immokalee. To accomplish this, the CRA prepared the 2000 Immokalee Community Redevelopment Plan, which addresses the unique needs and overall goals for redevelopment of Immokalee, and identifies the types of projects planned for the area. By statute, the Redevelopment Plan is required to conform to the GMP. The Board of County Commissioners found it necessary to restudy the Immokalee Urban Designated Area after designating the CRA. On May 27, 2003, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2003-192, thereby establishing the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Committee as an ad hoc advisory committee to the Board. On September 28, 2004, the Board adopted Ordinance 2004-62, extending the timeframe for the advisory committee and renaming it the Immokalee 9.C.d Packet Pg. 177 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 5 Master Plan and Visioning Committee (IMPVC). Over a six-year period, the IMPVC and consultant conducted extensive public outreach, collected and analyzed data, drafted recommended amendments to the IAMP, and proceeded through the Growth Management Plan amendment hearing process, with an additional step of a community referendum to measu re support. Despite this extensive effort, and a favorable referendum result, the proposed amendments did not achieve the necessary super majority vote by the Board of County Commissioners for adoption. The current IAMP restudy has refocused the Immokalee community on the extensive time and effort spent on the previous IMPVC work. Staff has engaged the Immokalee CRA advisory board, the MSTU advisory board, the Immokalee Chamber of Commerce, all Collier County Departments, and Immokalee residents and business owners, to review and update the proposed IAMP. Current Conditions The Immokalee urban boundary encompasses approximately 17,092 acres. As of 2017, most of this acreage, approximately 10,000 acres, remains vacant or in agriculture production , as shown on Figure 1. Figure 1. Immokalee Vacant and Developed Properties 9.C.d Packet Pg. 178 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 6 The population projection for 2017 was approximately 25,000 persons and through 2030 the permanent population estimate is expected to grow to just over 26,000 persons. Immokalee has a unique demographic; different than what is typically found in Collier County. According to census data, the median age of its residents is 28, compared to 47 county-wide. The majority (75.6%) of the Immokalee population is Hispanic. In Immokalee, the median worker income is approximately $16,000, well below the County median of $66,000. Typical work commute times differ, 51% of work commutes are under 25 minutes, 18.2% commute 25 -45 minutes, and 30.8% have a commute greater than 45 minutes. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 179 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 7 Section 3: Public Outreach, Data and Analysis The Immokalee restudy public participation process included extensive engagement through meetings at the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board, Immokalee MSTU Advisory Board, Immokalee Chamber of Commerce and six advertised public workshops. Public workshops were announced and advertised in English, Creole and Spanish. Appendix A includes the public workshop summaries. The public workshops kicked-off with a visioning process. The intent was to clarify the community values and to ensure the IAMP reflects and addresses these values. The community- defined vision statement should provide guidance for implementing planning goals, objectives and policies. The vision statement established by Immokalee residents and business owners is: “Immokalee is a family-oriented community that supports a healthy lifestyle. It is attractive, environmentally sustainable and offers a full range of housing, recreation and education opportunities to meet all residents’ needs. Immokalee has a safe, well-connected network to walk and bicycle about town, as well as a roadway network needed to support the transport of goods and services. Business and job opportunities flourish in trade and distribution, agri -business, and ecotourism.” This vision statement reflects the need for the County to adopt land use and transportation policies that supports a healthy, family environment, a multi-modal transportation network, and economic development and redevelopment. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 180 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 8 Land Use and Economic Vitality Within currently adopted Immokalee Area Master Plan there are numerous future land use designations ranging from low density residential use to industrial use. The previous restudy effort simplified land use designations with focus on combining multiple commercial designations into one Commercial-Mixed Use designation. In addition, the Industrial land use designations were modified to more accurately delineate the locations of the airport, i ndustrial, and industrial mixed-use designation. The majority of the residential designations remain the same with the exception of the “mixed residential” changing to “medium residential.” Some boundaries of these designation were modified to better address compatibility between residential densities and abutting commercial designations. In support of the community’s desire to promote eco-tourism, the Recreational Tourist land use designation at the north end of Lake Trafford was expanded farther south, abutting the lake. The densities associated with each residential land use are adequate and no further changes to density are proposed. A comparison of the land use designation changes is found in Table 1. These changes are visually represented on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map (Figure 2) and the Proposed Immokalee Future Land Use Map (Figure 3).

Current Adopted Immokalee FLUM Figure 3. Proposed Immokalee FLUM 9.C.d Packet Pg. 182 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 10 In further review of the previous restudy language it was found that many of the GOPs focus solely on housing. While housing is an important factor in any Master Plan, housing can be viewed as one component of the broader view of the neighborhood. During the beginning of the public outreach for this restudy, it became clear the Immokalee community has a desire to think beyond the conditions of Immokalee housing and to begin by identifying neighborhoods, and work towards planning for complete neighborhoods. To this end, the Immokalee community has drafted Figure 4 the Immokalee Neighborhood Map. Figure 4. Draft Immokalee Neighborhoods Map The intent of identifying neighborhoods and preparing p olicies for neighborhoods is in part to implement a portion of the Immokalee vision statement that focuses on Immokalee as “a healthy, family-oriented community.” With policies focusing on the neighborhood, an evaluation of each neighborhood can determine needs, such as places for families to play within their neighborhood, sidewalks, lighting, stormwater management and waste management. Once needs are determined, projects can be evaluated to determine if multiple neighborhood objectives, such as 9.C.d Packet Pg. 183 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 11 co-locating a sidewalk with a stormwater management project, can be efficiently and effectively achieved. Land Use Policies Recommendations The land use goals, objectives and policies (GOPs) derived during the previous restudy were reviewed and compared to the currently adopted policies. Staff and the Immokalee community found the intent of the GOPs were very similar, but the previous restudy effort simplified and made the language more concise. This more concise language is preferred. • Re-designation of the lands within the boundary of the Immokalee Regional Airport from Industrial (ID) to Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict (APO). • Revisions to the land use designations in the IAMP FLUM include: o An increase of +200 acres of Recreational Tourist (RT) designated lands. o A five percent reduction of residential designated lands. This change of over +636 acres of residential designated lands are proposed to be re-designated to allow commercial and industrial development, as well as uses that are allowed under the RT designation. o An increase of +462 acres of industrial designated lands. This increase includes the re- designation from Industrial (I) to Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict (APO) of 1,381 acres of land that is part of the Immokalee Regional Airport within the Immokalee urban boundary. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 184 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 12 Transportation and Mobility Immokalee is historically an agriculutre town with need to support freight traffic. Challenges have occurred where large trucks and pedestrian traffic is heavy, and using the same corridors, particularly along Main Street. Immokalee has a fairly, well-connected roadway network as can be seen on the Figure 5 aerial view. However, there are some local street interconnections needed to better enhance transit service and pedestrian and bicycle access. Figure 5. Immokalee’s Roadway Network Aerial View Figure 6, the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan Needs Assessment identifies several needed roadway improvements along major corridors such as SR 29, SR 82 and the planned “by -pass corridor” which is intended to provide freight traffic an alternate route off Main Street. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 185 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 13 Figure 6. 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan Needs Assessment 9.C.d Packet Pg. 186 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 14 Figure 7.

Collier County was successful in the grant application as was awarded $17 million for the improvements shown in Figure 7. Transportation Policies Recommendations • Support all transportation needs within Immokalee with an emphasis on freight movement and walkability. Walkability will be improved through the ongoing implementation of the recommendations of the MPO’s Walkability Study. • Plan for new collector roads and interconnecting local streets to enhance transit, walking and cycling. • Coordinate with FDOT on state roadway projects. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 187 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 15 Environmental Stewardship Within the Immokalee there is a significant wetland system connected to Lake Trafford and Camp Keais Strand system. The primary concern for potential environmental degradation in Immokalee is associated with the water quality as discharged into this wetland system and ultimately Lake Trafford. The proposed Future Land Use Map updates the wetland delineation, referred to Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overly (LT/CKSSO). The revised area encompasses approximately 1,492 acres. This wetland system can easily be identified running east of Lake Trafford, and south of the developed urban as shown in Figure 8. The proposed IAMP address the protection of natural resources through specific development standards and incentives. Figure 8. Immokalee Wetland System Environmental Policies Recommendations Recommended Policy • Re-configuration of the wetland boundary that connects to Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay. • Incentivize the movement of development rights from the wetland system. • Amend the Land Development Code to establish best management practices to minimize adverse impacts to Lake Trafford. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 188 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 16 Section 4: List of Initial Recommendations Land Use Policies Recommendations • Re-designation of the lands within the boundary of the Immokalee Regional Airport from Industrial (ID) to Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict (APO). • Revisions to the land use designations in the IAMP FLUM include: o An increase of +200 acres of Recreational Tourist (RT) designated lands. o A five percent reduction of residential designated lands.

Residents and stakeholders were encouraged to provide input through multiple platforms including meetings with the Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board, MSTU advisory board, Chamber of Commerce and six public workshops. The public workshops began with the establishment of the community’s vision statement. Staff obtained an outdate draft vision statement and presented it to the community for their evaluation and suggested edits. Following several iterations, the community embraced the following vision. Immokalee Vision Statement “Immokalee is a family-oriented community that supports a healthy lifestyle. It is attractive, environmentally sustainable and offers a full range of housing, recreation and education opportunities to meet all residents’ needs. Immokalee has a safe, well-connected network to walk and bicycle about town, as well as a roadway network needed to support the transport of goods and services. Business and job opportunities flourish in trade and distribution, agri -business, and ecotourism.” 9.C.d Packet Pg. 191 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 19 Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Public Workshop #1 Summary February 15th, 2018 – CareerSource 750 South 5th St. (8:30 a.m. –10:30 a.m.) The first public workshop for the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy was held on February 15th, 2018 at CareerSource. The meeting began approximately 8:45 a.m. The majority of the attendees were Collier County and Immokalee CRA officials and staff. Three members of the public attended. Anita Jenkins, Collier County Principal Planner gave a brief history of the development of Immokalee and described the previous attempts of collecting data and applying master plan changes from 2003 to 2012. She asked audience members about the previous planning process, and one audience member noted that the previous members of the County Commission were not on the same page as the residents. She discussed the existing and proposed master plan goals that will be the subject of a roundtable discussion. She then described the next steps of the Restudy process. Lastly, she explained the Rural Land Stewardship Area (RLSA) Restudy and Kris Van Lengen, Community Planning Manager at Collier County, invited anyone interested to be involved. An Immokalee resident raised a concern about this master plan process working simultaneously with ongoing transportation planning, airport master planning, and parks and recreation master plans. Another resident reiterated that there is a concern over a lack of coordination and communication between these different master plans. This concern led to a discussion of the new “loop road” which is outside of the scope of the future land use map beyond ensuring that the policies written do not forbid its creation, such as restricting four lane roads. Anita then focused on the vision statement, master plan goals, and various maps to discuss future land use and neighborhoods for roundtable discussion. The vision statement was derived from a previous CRA vision, and the audience agreed to include the term “family-oriented.” Residents also discussed the priority of making the community more walkable because it’s a necessity. This lead to a conversation of the general consensus on a need for a civic center or some type of public use facility. Anita then discussed proposed goals, referring to handouts. Residents commented on affordable housing. They said Habitat for Humanity homes are not options for workforce or moderate income level housing, therefore there needs to be more workforce housing and a variety of housing stock. There was discussion about the limited amount of land in Immokalee for development of housing, other than that land which is owned by a few large companies. Residents emphasized the need to have coordination with these companies, urging their presence at these workshops. Anita provided guidance about potential incentive-driven policies. Anita also asked that if anyone would require additional data and analysis for pursuing grants to please provide this feedback along with policy suggestions. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 192 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 20 Despite sitting in a small group, subgroups broke out to discuss the maps depicting Future Land Use, aerial views and sidewalks. There was agreement to create a sidewalk master plan that includes sidewalks on all roads in Immokalee and a priority list for implementation. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 193 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 21 Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Public Workshop #2 Summary February 15, 2018 – Revelation Church (5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.) The second public input meeting for the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy was held on February 15, 2018 at Revelation Church. The meeting began at approximately 5:30 p.m. Ten people attended the meeting, four were County officials and staff and six were members of the public. See attached for sign in sheet. Anita Jenkins, Principal Planner with Collier County Growth Management Department, began the evening with a presentation summarizing the Immokalee Master Plan background and purpose. Anita summarized portions of existing uses and future land use and zoning. Anita emphasized the intent of the Master Plan is a top-level view of land use designations that directs goals and visions. Additionally, she emphasized that zoning controls development standards, setbacks, etc. She highlighted the meeting schedule for the next public meetings and outlined the next steps for having the Master Plan transmitted and adopted. Anita started discussion by asking the audience “What happened in the 2008-2012 Master Plan Update study that you wanted, but didn’t happen?” Feedback and several concerns were provided regarding infrastructure, housing, funding and natural resource protection as summarized below. Infrastructure • Need for improved roadways • Immokalee needs a hospital and/or urgent care Housing • Inability to easily move, upgrade or replace mobile homes due to current development standards in the Land Development Code (LDC) • Ability to support density blending Funding • Concern for losing funding in the future • Desire to capture funding for Immokalee specifically versus the majority of funding directed towards Ave Maria Natural Resources 9.C.d Packet Pg. 194 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 22 • Allow density blending to encourage protection of natural resources, specifically the slough and other wetlands • TDR programs are too expensive to buy/manage credits Other Comments • Show surrounding land uses on the Master Plan Map, including RSLA lands • Restrictive and overly detailed language in the Growth Management Plan is more appropriate for the LDC The next portion of the meeting was focused on revising the Immokalee Draft Vision Statement. An audience member asked, “What does Immokalee stand for?” and the audience responded, “My Home.” It was suggested to somehow include “My Home” in the vision statement. Other comments related to vision statement revisions included shortening the vision statement, replacing agri- tourisim and ecotourism with just tourism, and a preference to keep ecotourism separate to reflect the amount of farms and ranches in Immokalee. The terms affordable and workforce housing project a negative connotation. The audience did acknowledge the need and current land use for affordable and workforce housing, but also desire moderate and luxury housing. The audience proposed several solutions including attention to affordable housing, diversified housing, or housing accessible to all. While discussing housing visions, it was mentioned that Hendry County has no impact fees. It was suggested to create policy and incentives for developers to bring specific (higher end) housing and businesses to Immokalee. Several audience members commented throughout the workshop about expanding the airport area to bring more business and inquired on how to collect funding opportunities from potential airport growth or expansion. The audience expressed concern that Immokalee wants to be a part of the County, but they are different. The difficulties stem from wanting a fair share of funding, being subject to County policies and standards, and wanting to maintain the current commu nity culture. The conversation then shifted to the community strengths which includes a vibrant main street with appealing restaurants. However, it was acknowledged owners of older properties are resistant to change, improvement or demolition of their structures. The conversation shifted towards the less favorable conditions of many homes and abandoned businesses. Community education to encourage home improvement was suggested. Anita refocused the group to discuss the currently adopted and proposed goals. The group agreed that the proposed goals were preferred to the adopted goals and chose to discuss only the proposed goals going forward. Adopted GOAL 1 (proposed GOAL 6) was moved to be and objective so was not discussed. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 195 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 23 Adopted GOAL 2 (proposed GOAL 3) was discussed first. It was suggested that the term sanitary be removed. Everyone wants sanitary housing and using the term in a goal suggests that current standards are not sanitary which subsequently discourages businesses to locate to Immokalee. The Slough, Lake Trafford and other named natural resources should be specifically identified in proposed GOAL 5 (adopted GOAL 3) or in the associated policies. A heavy emphasis was then placed on the need for parks and public facilities. Some of the audience felt strongly about Immokalee’s park deficiency and lack of sidewalks, bike paths, wide roads, or transit for kids to access the limited park locations. Other audience members disagreed with the lack of public parks. Discussion continued on the parks topic including Immokalee’s award-winning soccer team, lack of public facilities at soccer fields, kids playing half field due to lack of parks, and the inability to host tournaments due to lack of public restrooms at the fields. Adopted GOAL 6 (proposed GOAL 2) focused on the economy. The group again expressed desire to improve the airport and collect funding from the airport. Proposed GOAL 1, GOAL 7 and GOAL 8 were widely accepted among the group. The group was in favor of continuing to implement the Immokalee Community Plan. One audience member suggested a policy for safer routes in and out of Immokalee. Another audience member suggested proposed GOAL 1 to “Annually Identify the priorities of the Immokalee Community and the Immokalee portion of the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency.” The group revisited the Vision Statement. It was suggested and agreed to revise the “outstanding schools” portion. The group said this was not a realistic goal and suggested to revise to “promote outstanding education” which would broaden the goal to include information technology and other workforce training institutions. One final comment suggested addressing agri-research as a policy under the appropriate goal. Anita then directed the group to identify existing known neighborhoods on the aerial maps provided. Circles were provided as a quarter-mile reference. The team wanted to know why identifying neighborhoods was important. Anita and the group collectively answered this question by saying it was important to determine which areas needed parks and/or infrastructure and to spread the wealth when new projects or budgets arise. The team did not identify any new neighborhoods, but Anita did point out neighborhoods identified in the morning workshop an d the group did recognize those neighborhoods as distinct areas. The Sidewalks Map was then reviewed. The group unanimously agreed that Immokalee needs more sidewalks, specifically on paths near and to schools, generally everywhere for bicycles, and requested a sidewalk/bike connection to Ave Maria. The audience expressed concerns including narrow roads, poor or no lighting, and beaten dirt paths that indicate a need for sidewalks. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 196 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 24 The audience suggested to include reference to State Road 29 enhancements for transporting people and goods in and out of town into the GMP, as well as referencing improvements to County Road 846 connecting to Naples. Final comments from the audience focused on enhancing airport improvements and focusing on manufacturing goods and shipping them out via truck or air. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 197 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 25 Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Public Workshop #3 Summary February 20, 2018 – RCMA Rollason Office Classroom (9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.) The third public input meeting for the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy was held on February 20th, 2018 at Revelation Church. The meeting began at approximately 9:15 a.m. and ended at approximately 11:20 a.m. Sixteen people attended the event, see attached for sign in sheet. Anita Jenkins, Principal Planner with Collier County Growth Management, began the session with a short introduction and participants introduced themselves as well. Anita summarized the future land use map, and she mentioned the other master plans that are underway, including the Parks Master Plan. She summarized the Immokalee Master Plan background and purpose, explaining the difference between goals and policies, and outlined the next steps for having the Master Plan transmitted and adopted before the end of the year. Anita identified the handouts on the table explaining the agenda for the meeting. Anita noted the sidewalks map will be updated. There were three tables, each including one facilitator. The following was discussed at the three tables: Vision • Agree with previous meetings on adding the term “family-oriented” • The vision statement seems out of reach and not the current state of things; once the idea of a vision statement was explained, it was agreed that this is a good direction to take • Highlight on the cultural strengths that exist in Immokalee Infrastructure • Need for improved roadways (a lot of unpaved roads) • Immokalee needs a hospital and/or urgent care o A lot of residents drive over an hour to go to their doctor; a health facility that accommodates the population is needed • Prioritize “attractive” appeal (as mentioned in the vision statement). Main roads that people use when coming in from Naples or from the north on State Road 29 should be more inviting. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 198 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 26 o Landscaping along roads important for unity throughout Immokalee; focus on maintenance of this landscaping • Street lighting is a priority • Sidewalks on all streets, especially on main spine roads (Immokalee Road, State Road 29, Lake Trafford Road, New Market Road) • Traffic light needed at State Road 29 and Westclox Street; unsafe intersection • Greater traffic calming and re-evaluation of speed limits through residential communities and improved road connectivity • Prioritize safety for both vehicular and pedestrian movement • Language in infrastructure goal should include ‘safe’ and focus on pedestrian and public transit infrastructure: shelters, sidewalks, lighting • Crash data may reflect need for sidewalks instead of paved shoulders • Evacuation route needed west of State Road 29 • Storm water management improvements (specifically along New Market) • Emphasize need for an additional corridor (Loop road) Housing • The term “sanitary housing” is supported. Participants feel this is important for landlords to follow. • Workforce and/or affordable housing is necessary to support the existing community. • Do not want higher-end housing so land value does not increase; if land value increases this is problematic for residents • Do not want the negative impression of poverty in Immokalee; does not want to be only viewed as low-income • Incentives are supported to repurpose housing/existing structures Funding • Funding from County must go into road improvements before civic center • County must be more involved with developers and the public; redevelopment plans should be public so there is involvement Economy • Initiative to be health-conscience; a lot of residents go to the nearest Dollar General to buy processed foods • Create opportunity/incentive for big box stores • Big Box stores would be good if they complement local businesses rather than compete; most residents must drive for an hour to purchase anything besides basic groceries • Local businesses are not diverse because they are all run by a small handful of owners 9.C.d Packet Pg. 199 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 27 • Create opportunity/incentive for specialty commercial/retail which fit the character of Immokalee (farmers’ markets, craft boutiques, cafes, small groceries, flea markets) • Traffic is horrible around Winn-Dixie since it’s the main place for groceries, thus more options are needed • The County should meet with landowners to find out what they consid er to be valid incentives • Existing business could provide positive reviews of area to promote new businesses to come in; this can counter the “crime-ridden” stereotype Other Comments • Break the cycle and provide places and activities for children to play indoors safe out of the rain and heat (i.e., gymnastics, arts) • Culturally driven design standards; increase of murals/public art helps reduce crime rates o RCMA design as a good precedent o Do not over-design landscape to allow for “eyes on the street” o Community/historically-based art • Landscaping standards are important as well – not just design standards • Incentivize redevelopment of existing vacant infrastructure • Need the County to improve existing conditions (roads, street lights, landscape and landscape maintenance, etc.) as a priority over building a civic center • Establishing a connection between the CRA and the Sheriff o This is to help prove this is a safe community, but it is wrongly portrayed • Public transportation needs to be more transparent; publicized, multiple languages and easily read maps • Often an issue with parking The table discussions also addressed future land uses, neighborhoods and sidewalks based on the maps provided. Two of the three tables worked out neighborhood boundaries on their aerial maps. These were collected for analysis by staff. Anita indicated staff may assist in creating graphics that reflect the strengths of Immokalee for local tourism and to make Immokalee more inviting. Near the end of this discussion Frank informed the group that the CRA would like to start a leadership initiative reflecting the Leadership Collier program and encouraged attendees to be a part of it and to let other residents know who may be interested. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 200 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 28 Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Public Workshop #4 Summary February 15, 2018 – Immokalee Community Park (5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.) The fourth public input meeting for the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy was held on February 20, 2018 at the Immokalee Community Park. The meeting began at approximately 5:50 p.m. Seven people attended the meeting, four were County officials and staff and three were members of the public. See attached for the sign in sheet. Anita Jenkins, Principal Planner with Collier County Growth Management, began the evening with a discussion summarizing the Immokalee Master Plan background and purpose. Anita summarized existing uses and future land use and zoning. She emphasized the intent of the Master Plan is a top-level view of land use designations that directs goals and visions. She pointed out that zoning controls development standards, setbacks, etc. She highlighted the meeting schedule for the next public meetings in March 2018 and outlined the next steps for having the Master Plan transmitted and adopted with an anticipated completion at the end of 2018. Anita started discussion by explaining the Proposed Immokalee Future Land Use Map (FLUM). She explained that the proposed changes would not render property incompatible or inconsistent. Anita then introduced the Vision Statement stating that it is currently drafted from the CRA Vision Statement which was created with public input. Participants in prior meetings suggested including a focus on families. The public asked “Does stable neighborhoods mean a focus away from migrant housing?” Anita said that the vision statement refers to stable neighborhoods with the intent to improve dilapidated homes and encourage appropriate uses, such as excluding industrial uses in residential areas. Anita assured that there were not a significant number of changes to the proposed Future Land Use Map. The most significant changes include a larger Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict boundary and an extension of the Recreation Tourist Subdistrict to wrap around Lake Trafford. Anita indicated that the color scheme is different between the adopted and propos ed Future Land Use Map; it is updated with colors that are more consistent with industry standards. For example, gray is commonly associated with Industrial uses and red is commonly associated with commercial uses. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 201 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 29 Anita further explained that updating the Master Plan entices business owners and investors to build in Immokalee because appropriately designated land creates “build-ready” sites that are attractive to investors and builders. A participant suggested there was an issue of decreased property values associated with the proposed Master Plan Update in 2012. Anita said; the proposed changes do not affect zoning; they simply allow more opportunity without requiring a long Comprehensive Plan Amendment process. Questions were raised regarding the State Road 29 reconfiguration, specifically the potential for commercial growth, and staff identified that State Road 29 is intended for truck use and no changes are proposed for commercial use along State Road 29 at this time because it is intended to function as an alternate route or bypass. In response to inquiries about the updating of land uses every ten or five years, staff responded that land uses were previously updated in seven-year cycles but that is no longer required. Others commented in order to rezone property, the project must meet the three C’s: Consistency, Concurrency and Compatibility. Staff explained that the proposed goals are similar but more concise than the adopted goals. Generally, goals are broad while policies are more detailed and specific. Staff indicated that proposed GOAL 7 is specific to Immokalee and is intended to further define setbacks, landscape standards, etc. to make Immokalee unique. Staff further discussed the Future Land Use Map and explained that commercial areas are justified by population. Industrial areas are guided by opportunity, and not population driven. An aerial map was presented by staff with the intent to identify existing neighborhoods. Anita highlighted a few existing neighborhoods including the Golden Triangle and the Fruit Bowl. She posed questions such as, “Is this neighborhood complete?” Defining neighborhoods elevate the family focus that Immokalee desires and provides opportunity to coordinate needs. For example, does Southside need sidewalks? When asked about replacing mobile homes per the proposed Future Land Use policies, staff said the mobile home replacement issue was resolved in 2017 through the Land Development Code. The public asked if an owner or developer would still need to go through zoning to build an apartment complex. Staff responded that yes, zoning is still required for development, however, it is easiest to choose an existing area with higher residential density allowed per the Future Land Use 9.C.d Packet Pg. 202 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 30 Map. However, an apartment complex could be sought nearly anywhere if and when a developer goes through a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, which takes a lot of time. Staff presented the Sidewalks Map and pointed out numerous transit stops, but a lack of sidewalk connection. Anita suggested that an updated plan for future sidewalks allows staff to write grants to meet the goals. Anita provided an email address for comments and documents to be published (IAMPrestudy@colliercountyfl.gov). There will be two more workshops in March. The meeting ended at approximately 6:45p.m. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 203 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 31 Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Public Workshop #5 Summary April 25th, 2018 – CareerSource 750 South 5th St. (8:30 a.m. –10:30 a.m.) The Immokalee Master Plan morning session meeting began at approximately 8:38 a.m. and concluded at approximately 10:27 a.m. This was a joint CRA, MSTU and Immokalee Area Master Plan public meeting. The Pledge of Allegiance was conducted, followed by a moment of silence. The date was announced, along with roll call. Approximately five members of the CRA, five members of the MSTU, and eleven members of the public were in attendance. Attendees were each given a hard-copy of meeting material for review and discussion. The distributed Proposed Immokalee Area Mater Plan reflected the comments from previous public meetings and recommendations from Collier County staff in strike-through and underline format. A Future Land Use Map, Neighborhoods Map, and Sidewalk Map associated with the Master Plan were also distributed. Anita Jenkins opened the meeting and explained that any additional comments can be emailed to IAMPrestudy@CollierCountyFL.gov until May 25th. In June, staff will have the Master Plan material prepared and submitted to the Board of County Commissioners. Anita presented the proposed changes to the Master Plan in page-by-page format. She referenced the introduction on pages 2 and 3, which has been updated since the 2012 Restudy data. The Vis ion Statement is included with the introduction, and it has been updated to reflect the policies. Pages 4 and 5 included only minor revisions. Page 6 begins the discussion of Goal 1, which is important for conveying to others what is important to the community. The focus of Goal 1 is business opportunities, positivity and enhancing and diversifying the community. She explained that the CRA “Project List” is more appropriate in the Infrastructure section. Anita explained that the references to economic drivers were not changed. Anita discussed Policy 2.2.1 related to the Expedited Review process which was important from 2012 to 2016. She shared Resolution 2016-247 with the attendees and said because the resolution has been adopted, it’s not important to still be referenced in the Master Plan. Policy 2.4.2 Cultural Programs and Facilities was deemed repetitive of Policy 1.3.1, so it was removed to keep the document concise. The next change was to Technical Assistance which has been 9.C.d Packet Pg. 204 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 32 reworked to remove the responsibility of the CRA so as not to overburden them. The BOCC is a better option to delegate tasks to the most appropriate staff. Anita then discussed changes based on prior workshops to address housing and neighborhoods per Objective 2.1 and Collier County’s intent to “identify neighborhood improvements needed to elevate the neighborhood quality of life.” At previous Master Plan public meetings, attendees were asked to identify neighborhoods within Immokalee and to refine boundaries. Anita asked attendees to review the Neighborhoods Map to ensure it is correct. This helps to accurately identify needs on a neighborhood basis, including parks, tot lots, water management projects, transit stops, safe access and lighting. Anita then mentioned that she is not only working with the community, but also with County Transportation staff and the Housing Department. She noted that the Florida Health Department has authority over farmworker and migrant housing, and the County only has control over the development standards for such housing. Policies in the Master Plan are limited on matters that are governed by agencies other than the County. An attendee commented that it is a mistake to focus on farmworker housing. Instead, the focus should be housing that supports the workforce, noting that tourism is a driving force and the housing need to be addressed to accommodate this. Anita responded that Goal 2 is to provide quality neighborhoods with a full range of housing for all. She welcomed attendees to provide strengthened language for that goal. Anita referenced Policy 2.2.1 Targeted Redevelopment Areas meant to address neighborhood needs. Areas of concern include sidewalks, lighting, recreation areas and proximity to fresh foods. Instead of fresh foods being available exclusively at flea markets, they should be available within neighborhoods with specific design requirements to be outlined in the Land Development Code. Anita spoke to Policy 2.2.6 Farmworker Housing Land Development Regulation s. This policy is being maintained in the Master Plan, and language is added noting that there need to be quality neighborhoods with a full range of housing for all Immokalee residents. She added that Collier County is currently in the midst of an extensive housing study, and the incentives are being worked out through Board of County Commissioner direction. Those incentives are referenced in the Master Plan. Objective 3.1 is the location where reference to the CRA Project List is proposed to move. Commissioner McDaniel referenced Policy 3.1.2, stating it gives a pass for the Board to extend timeframes. Anita said that timeframes are established, but the Board has authority to adjust them. Discussion ensued about removing Policy 3.1.2 because it says that there is a timeframe established, but not really, making it contradictory. Another attendee agreed to remove the policy language. Debrah Forester suggested changing the title of “Targeted Redevelopment Area” to “Targeted Neighborhood Areas.” The CRA has Improvement areas and this might be confusing. She also 9.C.d Packet Pg. 205 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 33 suggested establishing priority improvements than can be reviewed annually. The idea of identifying and referring to neighborhoods was discussed by the group. Debrah Forester suggested adding the verbiage “coordination with departments” in Policy 1.5.1. to reach the end goal of all County agencies being accessible. On Page 13 in Policy 4.2.1, “encouraging active lifestyles” was moved back to the neighborhood section where the policy intent is similar. Anita explained that neighborhood “facilities” may be conveyed a “buildings,” which is not the intent, because a ballfield or tot lot can be a neighborhood facility. Thus, the idea of recreational areas is preferred. Anita explained a Parks M aster Plan effort is ongoing, and it will address community park policies. An attendee asked: Will Anita cross reference the Parks Master Plan? Anita confirmed it is a good idea, and the Housing Plan will also be cross referenced. An attendee suggested that recreation areas should not only be on the ground, but also on the roofs of some buildings. An attendee asked about Objective 1.3, Tourism, Recreation, Entertainment and Cultural Opportunities and noted the plan only references recreation. Tourism and Cultural Opportunities should have their own objectives to identify expansion opportunities. Anita mentioned that tourism is referenced in an Objective, and subsequent policies, but there is a possibility to expand and give greater specificity. The attendee said she will send further comments via email. Another attendee mentioned that agritourism is skipped in Objective 1.3, and it should be added. More comments were shared about keeping the language general and expanding on the entertainment policy. Anita noted to add an objective the under economic goal and move agritourism policy there as well. It was suggested to expand and explain the entertainment policy. Anita discussed arrangements of the document including an additional Objective under the economic development goal. Debrah Forester then mentioned that tourism promotes people to live, work and conduct business in Immokalee. Anita advised against pulling the objective apart, but just enhancing and being more specific in the policies. She mentioned that she is cautious about making any changes without the public’s input, and she appreciates the feedback. Regarding Policy 3.3.1 on page 13, an attendee asked why the word “future” is being crossed out. Anita explained that the County is prioritizing the people who live here now. The Land Development Code specifies and requires new neighborhoods to connect to existing neighborhoods and the grid system. Anita suggested to add a policy for new neighborhoods to connect wi th the existing grid system with sidewalks as well. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 206 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 34 Debrah asked if the Sidewalk Map will be referenced in the Master Plan. Anita confirmed that is will be included. The idea of adding verbiage “as amended” was suggested so the Master Plan would maintain consistency over time. An attendee mentioned the Long-Range Transportation Improvements should be bulleted according to priority. For example, improve SR 82 and SR 29 and add the bypass road later. Anita responded that the Transportation Department gave updates on road projects, noting State Road 82 is underway, and SR 29 is being discussed. Anita mentioned that bypass alternatives are being reviewed. She noted that in the northwest area there is a lack of a complete grid that restricts bus access, and that bicycle and pedestrian pathways are needed in so many areas. The attendee reiterated that the multiple references to the bypass road gives the wrong impression that it’s a high priority for Immokalee. Debrah Forester suggested a separate policy on transportation, specific to completing the grid system. Long-term transportation is addressed by the MPO, but there are opportunities for identifying regional projects that needs funding. An attendee mentioned that a one-page guide is needed to explain what this Master Plan is and is not. Everyone has different opinions on what this is. Anita said she’d be happy to provide such a guide. Anita explained references to transit services on page 15, which she has reviewed with Michelle Arnold the Collier Area Transit Director. The Transit staff need to address corridors and indicate improvements. The Master Plan addresses corridors but not transit operations, which is subject to change as technology changes. She said there is no need for the transportation concurrency policy, which was inserted during the last Restudy. Anita said there is plenty of road capacity in Immokalee and no density increases are proposed, so there are no concurrency deficiencies and the policy is not needed. An attendee asked if a downtown business could be on a first -floor with second-floor residential. Anita confirmed that is already allowed in the Mixed-Use District. Anita reviewed page 16 and the Clean Immokalee Plan. She referenced a presentation by Roy Spence, Hall of Famer in the marketing business, who coined “Don’t Mess with Texas” as part of a Clean Up Texas Campaign with public service announcements provided by Willie Nelson and Stevie Ray Vaughan. She mentioned that this strategy should be considered. Immokalee has great athletes who could promote a Clean Immokalee campaign. Debrah mentioned that a timeframe for development and implementation needed to be added to this policy, and Anita suggested adding a two-year timeframe. Anita discussed Policy 4.1.1. on page 16 related to incentives through land development regulations, including studying other Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) programs. Anita advised that other strategies should be pursued rather than TDRs. Buying TDRs costs money and in turn r aises housing costs. Natural resource protection can be accomplished through water farming and mitigation, and 9.C.d Packet Pg. 207 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 35 she suggested that staff resources could be used to consider other natural resource protection opportunities. An attendee asked if TDRs could be maintained as an option. Another attendee replied that the that the policy directs staff to study other TDR programs. Anita reiterated that TDRs costs money, which raise the costs of housing, and that density blending that preserves land and allows development should be explored. Commissioner McDaniel mentioned that the Board is looking to create an Immokalee Chapter in the LDC to address such issues as these. He cautioned that evaluating the TDR options could be costly. An attendee mentioned that while it is great to address in the LDC, it is also important to include a general reference to TDRs so the Master Plan is not inconsistent. Anita then mentioned that Policy 4.1.1 on page 16 does address density bonuses and transfer of rights. Kris Van Lengen commented that Policy 4.1.1 was very specific and questioned if such specificity was needed. Other attendees agreed with this concern. Anita advised that the title for Policy 4.1.2 is changed from Lake Trafford Development to Lake Trafford Water Quality. The title change reflects the continuation of water quality improvements. Anita noted that she met with Pollution Control staff to ensure this is still accurate. Anita described deleting Policy 5.1.4 entitled “Conservation Designation,” because the term “conservation” may bring about unintended consequences to the detriment of eco-tourism by limiting the recreational use of properties. Instead, protection functions can be accomplished through easements. Anita advises that Policy 6.1.3 is removed, because it’s redundant to the right-to-farm act in Florida Statues. Policy 6.1.4 related to farmworker housing is also removed because the Florida Department of Health regulates this topic. Anita discussed the policies on rezoning and consistency by policy for mobile homes. An a ttendee asked why mobile homes are referenced as “temporary” residency? Anita explained that it is associated with temporary homes during construction in Agricultural areas. She described issues that arose from the 2012 planning effort affecting the abil ity for continuation of mobile home properties. She described the overlay in the LDC for Immokalee mobile home properties. She said the LDC is the resource for anyone interested to review the mobile home overlay standards for Immokalee, which have recently been adopted to address local issues. Anita pointed out that Immokalee is a food desert. There is limited access to fruits or vegetables. She explained the recommended addition to the policy allowing for fresh fruit and vegetable stands or trucks in neighborhoods. A participant asked if there are standards included for fruit or vegetable stands. Anita answered that the LDC will address standards, and the Master Plan just allows for them. The group discussed that standards and better Code enforcement are needed so illegal operations can be dealt with. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 208 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 36 Anita identified proposed updates to Policy 6.1.2 related to the location of service uses to reference “community” parks within a ½-mile area. Commissioner McDaniel mentioned that these policies will assist the Board and staff to direct implementation. Policy 7.1.3 related to innovative design was removed because it’s redundant. Anita referenced the Immokalee Government Services Center and noted that the public wants a civic center for people to gather, providing opportunities for entertainment and cultural uses. An attendee mentioned that the Master Plan language gives the appearance that a mayor is wanted, and no one wants that. The attendee expressed that government staff should be based in Naples, not in Immokalee. Commissioner McDaniel stressed that the Master Plan identifies that government offices could be located in one area. Anita said a mayor was not the intent of a government center, and that the revisions were based on public input, which is important. Anita went on to discuss commercial zoning and separation standards, and verbiage was added to include “unless authorized by BOCC” to allow for applicants to ask Board approval of projects that are good for the community. Commissioner McDaniel noted the criteria seem too specific, and Anita stated she agreed and that she would address consistency between policies. An attendee asked about the policy allowing fruit or vegetable sales in neighborhoods, and if gardens are allowed. Anita advised that gardens are allowed, but once vegetables are sold it is considered a business which is not allowed. For fruit stands proposed in neighborhoods, the LDC will regulate how those fruit stands will appear. Anita highlighted the change to expand the Recreational Tourist Subdistrict around Lake Trafford to support eco-tourism. She addressed Commissioner McDaniel’s concern about residential parcel size criteria being too specific by explaining the standards that are specific will be moved out of the Master Plan and into the Land Development Code, which allows for deviations and amendments through Board of County Commissioner approval. Commissioner McDaniel stressed the importance of maintaining the public’s interest through making the Master Plan more global, and the Land Development Code more specific. Anita said policies on density, density bonuses, and density rating system will not be changed. She said transient lodging density will also be maintained in the Master Plan. Commissioner McDaniel raised concern that the density standard of 26 units per acre for transient lodging could be too limiting. Debrah stated transient lodging and hotel may be defined differently, and Anita said she will review the definitions. An attendee asked if the area around Lake Trafford labeled as CMU on the Future Land Use Map is the Habitat community? Anita confirmed this, and stated it is not changing because the County is not able to downgrade development rights. Another participant asked if a certain designated area was increased. Anita answered yes, the RT boundary was increased. An attendee asked about the zoning of the Winn Dixie property, and Anita 9.C.d Packet Pg. 209 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 37 confirmed the property’s land use designation is CMU which allows rezoning as necessary for the property. Debrah asked about Goal 7 coordination of government agencies and the need for an Emergency Operations Center after Hurricane Irma. Anita confirmed the EOC could be referenced in a separate policy. Debrah asked if the Sidewalk Map could be referred to as a 5-year plan including more detail of sidewalk locations and material types, which can be updated over time. Commissioner McDaniel added that TIGER Grant projects are underway and should be included. Anita answered that the green areas on the map reflect the TIGER Grant projects. She said that unfunded projects can be added as another line item on the map. An attendee requested a draft grid map to show connection areas. Anita replied that such a map could be developed per the policy regarding the issue of proposed connections. Anita said comments can provided by email or telephone. The meeting concluded at 10:27 a.m. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 210 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 38 Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Public Workshop #6 Summary April 25th, 2018 – Immokalee Community Park 321 N. 1st St Immokalee FL 34142 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. The meeting began at 5:44 p.m. with eight participants in attendance. Anita Jenkins introduced the revised Immokalee Area Master Plan that includes recommendations based on public input. She explained that this plan includes six years’ worth of work. The plan is in strikethrough and underlined format. She explained that the final document will be presented to the Board of County Commissioners in June to start the review and update process. She mentioned that feedback can be provided to Commissioner McDaniel. She explained the proposed Plan language in page -by-page format. On pages 2 and 3, there were only small changes to the Introduction that recognized background work. The Vision statement was added to the Introduction, and it reflects intent of the polici es, focusing on strengthening the economy, housing for everyone, diversity of economy, and walkable neighborhoods. Anita explained the intent of the Comprehensive Plan is to guide growth. The Future Land Use Map only says what you can do, it is an indicator of opportunity. The Future Land Use Map is not intended to suggest that a property owner is out of compliance, but rather the Comprehensive Plan is meant to guide the community in growth. On page 6, the Goal 1 is essentially a CRA annual infrastructure project list and that information has been moved to a more appropriate section. The new Goal 1 is to attract business and economic growth. The opening of the plan is now focused on enhancing and diversifying Immokalee. On page 7, Policy 2.2.1 Expedited Review is already taken care of through Resolution 2016-247 and thus it has been removed. Anita identified that Policy 1.3 was discussed in the morning session. Anita said the next time the Master Plan revisions are presented, it will incorporate the group’s suggestion to break out tourism, eco-tourism, recreation, entertainment and cultural opportunities, and it will be more specific with those economic drivers. An attendee commented that there is no entertainment present in Immokalee, while another participant mentioned the Casino is entertainment. Another responded that the Casino is not family oriented, and an amphitheater for families is desired. Anita continued on page 9 stating Policy 2.4.2 is redundant and has been removed. Policy 1.5.1 had delegated a lot of work to the CRA, and the updated language allows Collier County staff to provide 9.C.d Packet Pg. 211 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 39 technical assistance. Anita mentioned that the language will be strengthened to allow for intergovernmental coordination. On page 10, Goal 2 and Policy 2.1.1 define neighborhoods. Defining neighborhoods will manifest in more complete neighborhoods, because needs for parks, stormwater management and other improvements can be identified. Input from the past public meetings has defined neighborhood boundaries on the Neighborhoods Map. A participant mentioned that neighborhood names need to be simplified, for instance, instead of calling an area “The Fruit Basket” consider picking a produce. Another attendee suggested to not change that neighborhood name because that is how the community has referred to the area for many years. Another suggested that Fruit Basket needs a new boundary, with Carson and Eden Park defining that boundary. Anita explained Policy 3.1.1 references to farmworker housing have been removed, because the Health Department has authority over housing regulations. Reference to regulations were moved to the LDC, Policy 2.2.6. An attendee commented that mobile homes need to be allowed, although fixed up, but still allowed. Anita explained the goal is to provide a diversity of housing to meet all the needs of the community and not just a focus on farmworker housing. The participants engaged in conversation about logistics and regulations of subsidized housing, specifically in relation to Trafford Isles and the apartment building development within Arrowhead. Anita directed the audience to look at Policy 2.3.1 on page 12 that addresses Housing Grant Opportunities. This policy relates to the County Housing Plan and will allow grant funding to be funneled to Immokalee area housing projects. Anita said text is added to Goal 3 from the original Goal 1. She advised that in the earlier session today, Commissioner McDaniel commented that Policy 3.1.2 allows an extra timeframe and that extra flexibility is not appropriate. If the policy states it should be done in two years, then it should be completed on time. The attendees agreed with this revision. Anita referenced Policy 3.2.4. – Encourage Active Lifestyles on page 13, stating the intent is to complete neighborhoods with tot lots, basketball court, community gardens and more. Attendees mentioned that any parks put in place need to be larger or regional parks. Anita responded that the County’s Parks Master Plan will address parks, however, small parks are more affordable to maintain, and the intent is to create gathering areas for the community that are walkable in relation to their neighborhood. Anita mentioned that the Parks Master Plan is currently being worked on and will be presented in June. An attendee commented that Dreamland, a current park, is vacant. Another participant mentioned that new equipment was just installed at that specific park near the back. Anita explained that page 14 discusses Long Range Transportation Impr ovements. State Road 82 has been approved and in the works, including roundabout and four-lane widening. The SR 29 bypass routes are being worked on and have been narrowed down to two choices. 9.C.d Packet Pg. 212 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 40 Anita explained that Policy 4.2.7 was removed because operations should not be addressed in the Master Plan. Transportation concurrency was removed because there is no deficiency on roadway networks. She said the language regarding Stormwater Management on page 16 will reference the Stormwater Master Plan so that it is easy to maintain consistency as other plans are updated. In reference to Policy 3.4.1: Clean Immokalee Plan, Anita shared her experience with Roy Spence “Hall of Fame” marketer and how he initiated the “Don’t Mess With Texas” Campaign as a Clean Up initiative to clean up litter. This may be a positive option for Immokalee. A participant mentioned possibly working with the “Keep Collier Beautiful Campaign.” Another participant asked if there are neighborhood associations in Immokalee, and another attendee confirmed there are, for example, Jubilation, Arrowhead and some Habitat projects. A participant asked if the Blue Zones Project will be incorporated in this effort. Anita stated the Blue Zones Project specifically will not be in the plan, but the philosophy and principles of Blue Zones are reflected. For example, Immokalee has a fresh foods desert although this is an agricultural community. The Master Plan supports fresh food markets in close proximity to neighb orhoods. A focus on smaller neighborhood parks is also supportive of Blue Zones principles. Improved sidewalks and lighting are also supported in the Master Plan. A participant asked if neighborhood gardens were supported in the Master Plan. Anita indi cated that neighborhood and community gardens are currently allowed . A participant noted that Immokalee has ice cream trucks, but questioned why the community doesn’t have vegetable trucks. Another participant indicated that vegetable trucks are in the a rea. Some private gardeners package their food and drive to higher-end neighborhoods to sell their produce in the Naples gated communities. Anita directed the conversation to the Lake Trafford Development section on page 17. She indicated that the title was changed to “Lake Trafford Water Quality” to shift the focus on water quality, which the community has worked so hard to improve over the years. This section of the Master Plan discusses water quality goals, not development goals. She explained the Conservation Designation policy on page 17 was moved to the Land Development Code. An attendee asked who funds the additional language to the LDC? Anita responded that Collier County has an LDC staff. The attendee wanted to know who is working on Best Management Practices (BMPs). Anita responded that staff will coordinate with other agencies in developing BMPs. A participant mentioned the water issues after Hurricane Irma and wanted assurance that Immokalee is included in the Collier County budget. The participant asked: When the LDC is discussed, will staff come to Immokalee and will the public’s input be considered? Anita confirmed that meetings will be held in Immokalee and public input is 9.C.d Packet Pg. 213 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 41 very appreciated. She also noted that Commissioner McDaniel has already initiated the need for a specific Immokalee Land Development Code (LDC). The discussion shifted to the rezoning process. Anita explained that the Comprehensive Plan is the top level of regulation and zoning is more property-specific. She referenced Policy 5.1.6 Rezonings and Growth Management Plan Consistency by Policy on page 19. Anita stated that in the past it was a problem to allow mobile homes, however, that issue was resolved with LDC Section 2.03.07 Mobile Home Overlay Zoning District. A participant asked if the Overlay District only allows mobile homes, or does it address driveways and such? Anita responded that the Mobile Home Overlay Zoning District only allows the use of mobile homes, however, the LDC regulates driveway materials, tie downs, etcetera. Another attendee asked how mobile homes are condemned. Anita responded that the County Housing Plan is addressing condemnation issues and is in the process of being updated. An attendee asked about mobile home parks being up t o code. Anita responded that replacing a mobile home only requires consistency with the approved site plan. A new mobile home park would need to adhere to current LDC requirements for driveways and sidewalks. Anita suggested participating in the Immokalee LDC process as it goes through updates and changes. Anita highlighted objectives and policies related to density under Goal 6. She indicated that nothing has changed in the Master Plan in reference to density. She said the impediment to approval of the last Master Plan update may have been due to proposed density changes at that time. She said the existing density in the plan is appropriate and allows for growth, and there is no need to make unnecessary changes, so no new density recommendations are being proposed. She added that the density rating system and bonus density policies have not changed. Anita requested feedback on the Land Use Map. She asked if there was a need for more commercial areas or other changes. Comments from a previous CRA m eeting were to define the Triangle area as a central business district. Anita said that change would make sense if the plan were starting anew, but there is no need to disrupt a stable neighborhood. She suggested that dilapidated residential areas are a good opportunity for replacement with commercial uses. A participant commented that the downtown Commercial Mixed Use area on the southern side of Main Street was reduced on the map. The businesses do not have enough room for dumpsters behind the buildings, stormwater retention, or setbacks. An attendee mentioned impact fees and the difficulty to attract businesses to Immokalee when they will generate ten percent of the revenue compared to having the same business located in Naples. Another participant requested education for residents, such as a Home Health 101 course. The Immokalee residents that come from third world countries do not know cleaning practices and standards. Attendees discussed the solid waste problem on Main Street . Attendees asked who is 9.C.d Packet Pg. 214 Attachment: BCC Transmittal IAMP White Paper (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 42 responsible for the dumpster situation, whether it is the property owner, the leasing business or Waste Management. One participant said that a community dumpster might be the solution if business owners would collectively install and share costs for a larger dumpster. The current system of extra trash pick ups and sending staff out to clean just isn’t working. The conversation shifted to playgrounds and establishing recreation areas every half mile. Anita responded that staff was working on the inventory of these facilities. A participant asked about a 24-hour urgent care. Anita responded that an urgent care use is allowed, but would require rezoning of property. The participant responded that medical offices exist, but the businesses and services provided needs to be enhanced. The discussion shifted to rezoning a specific property. A participant asked if a current zoning map is available, and Anita indicated that she could email the current zoning map. The group discusse d if C-4 and C-5 zoning allows for a used car lot. Anita responded that the C-4 designation allows for new car lots, and the C-5 designation allows for used car lots. Anita indicated that the Neighborhoods Map and Sidewalk Map will be a part of the Maste r Plan. A participant asked about medical marijuana, and how associated uses are being addressed. Anita responded that there is an evening meeting on April 30 at 5:05 that will address marijuana dispensaries in the LDC. A participant wanted to know what type of business is associated with medical marijuana. Anita responded that it is an agricultural business because it is being grown. When asked where such use is allowed, Anita responded that commercial uses allow for dispensaries and that regulations for medical marijuana establish a minimum distance from schools. She indicated that dispensaries are not regulated like alcohol stores, but more like a pharmacy. The discussion then shifted to the grow house on SR 29 that is approved near the Hendry Coun ty line. A participant asked about the area of Immokalee. Anita responded that Immokalee has approximately 17,000 acres, with approximately 10,000 undeveloped acres, most of which are being used for active agriculture. The conversation moved to a discussion on the areas that are in the Immokalee Sewer and District area. Anita wrapped up the meeting and mentioned that BCC meetings can be viewed at www.colliercountyfl.gov. She encouraged participants to email comments and ideas to IAMPrestudy@CollierCountyFL.gov.

INTRODUCTION 1 Immokalee has long been recognized as a distinct community within Collier County. 2 Immokalee’s economy, geography, and demographic make-up are different than the rest of 3 Collier County. Approximately one-half of the land within the Immokalee Urban Area is presently 4 zoned and actively used for agriculture. The urban area is surrounded by productive crop lands 5 and environmentally significant habitat. Most Immokalee residents work within the agricultural 6 industry, and the majority of agricultural laborers originate from Mexico and Central America. 7 Statistics from the 2010 Census (the most comprehensive data for Immokalee currently 8 available), comparing Immokalee to the County as a whole, reflect some of the key socio- 9 economic differences, including age distribution, race and ethnicity, income, education and 10 housing. 11 The Immokalee Area Planning Commission was formed in 1965, and Immokalee was governed 12 under separate Zoning and Subdivision Regulations until 1982. While it is now included under 13 the county-wide Land Development Code, in 1991 the County again acknowledged the need for 14 Immokalee-specific land use regulation with the adoption of the first Immokalee Area Master 15 Plan as an element in the County’s overall comprehensive plan. 16 Collier County first established the Immokalee Area as a Planning Community in its 1983 17 Comprehensive Plan. In 1989, the County adopted revisions to the comprehensive plan, now 18 called the Growth Management Plan (GMP), which included a requirement to develop an area 19 master plan for Immokalee. In 1991, the County adopted the first Immokalee Area Master Plan 20 (IAMP), as referenced in Policy 4.32 of the Future Land Use Element: 21 22 A detailed Master Plan for the Immokalee Urban designated area has been developed and was 23 incorporated into this Growth Management Plan in February 1991. Major revisions were 24 adopted in 1997 following the 1996 Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The Immokalee Area 25 Master Plan addresses conservation, future land use, population, recreation, transportation, 26 housing, and the local economy. Major purposes of the Master Plan are coordination of land 27 uses and transportation planning, redevelopment or renewal of blighted areas, and the 28 promotion of economic development. 29 30 The IAMP is in addition to and supplements the goals, objectives, and policies, of the Collier 31 County Growth Management Plan. Due to the unique geographic, social, and economic 32 characteristics of the Immokalee Urban Designated Area as compared with urban Naples, 33 Coastal Collier County, and the State of Florida as a whole, the Board of County 34 Commissioners deemed it necessary to restudy the Immokalee Urban Designated Area. On 35 May 27, 2003, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2003-192, which 36 established the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Committee as an ad hoc advisory 37 committee to the board. The Committee was to serve for a period of one year. On September 38 28, 2004, the Board adopted Ordinance 2004-62, extending the timeframe for the advisory 39 committee and renaming it the Immokalee Master Plan and Visioning Committee (IMPVC). On 40 November 13, 2007, the Board adopted Ordinance 2007-69, which extended the timeframe 41 again, providing for dissolution of the committee no later than December 31, 2009. The purpose 42 and duties of the Committee remain the same: 43 9.C.e Packet Pg. 220 Attachment: BCC Transmittal Revisions to adopted IAMP (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) Proposed Amendments to the Immokalee Area Master Plan Words underlined are added; words struck-through are deleted Words double underlined are CCPC additions; words double struck-through are CCPC deletions 1 A. Assist in the development of any necessary Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for consulting 2 services. 3 B. Assist County staff with the review of general planning matters related to the Immokalee 4 Community. These could include housing, zoning, economic and/or other issues as may be 5 brought before the Committee. 6 C. Identify and provide the Board of County Commissioners the Committee recommendations 7 relative to: 8 1. road improvements; 9 2. economic incentives; 10 3. increasing the quality and quantity of affordable housing; 11 4. land uses and improvements relative to the Immokalee Regional Airport; 12 5. density increases in mixed-use districts; 13 6. restructuring of future land use designations and designation boundaries within the 14 Immokalee community; 15 7. the facilitation of construction of commercial development in commercial districts; 16 8. the preparation of revisions to current zoning districts and the development of associated 17 LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as amended) standards; and 18 9. the review of the 5-year Schedule of Capital Improvements relative to the Immokalee 19 community. 20 D. Assist in the development of revised goals, objectives, and policies, and land use 21 designation descriptions for the Immokalee Area Master Plan. 22 E. Assist in the review and updating of the Immokalee Area Master Plan in order to establish 23 consistency between the Master Plan and the County Rural Lands Stewardship Area 24 Overlay provisions. 25 26 The IMPVC worked steadily towards achieving these goals. However, by 2012 the adoption of 27 the revised IAMP and revised Immokalee Master Plan Future Land Use Map remained out of 28 reach and no amendments were made to the IAMP. 29 30 In 2015, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to update four area master plans 31 including the Immokalee Area Master Plan. Staff then engaged the Immokalee community in a 32 review of the significant work accomplished during the previous restudy. The amendments to 33 the IAMP found herein are a result of the Immokalee residents and business owners continued 34 focus and effort to improve the land use policies that will regulate growth in their community. 35 36 An integral component of Immokalee’s future is the Collier County Community Redevelopment 37 Agency (CRA). Established in 2000 by the Board of County Commissioners, the Agency’s 38 mission is to eliminate blighted conditions as identified under Chapter 163, Part 3 of the Florida 39 Statutes. The Board of County Commissioners is the ex-officio board of the CRA. In 2000, the 40 9.C.e Packet Pg. 221 Attachment: BCC Transmittal Revisions to adopted IAMP (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) Proposed Amendments to the Immokalee Area Master Plan Words underlined are added; words struck-through are deleted Words double underlined are CCPC additions; words double struck-through are CCPC deletions BCC adopted the Collier County Community Redevelopment Plan that included two 1 redevelopment areas: Bayshore/Gateway Triangle and Immokalee. 2 3 In 2000, the Immokalee CRA Local Redevelopment Advisory Board was created and members 4 from the community were appointed to provide recommendations to the CRA to implement the 5 redevelopment plan and the allocation of tax increment revenues generated by increased 6 property values. Over the years, the Immokalee CRA Local Advisory Board has served as a 7 vehicle to bring forward community needs and interests. 8 9 For the purposes of this Plan, the Immokalee CRA is defined to reference the Immokalee 10 component of the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency. 11 12 13 II. NEW DIRECTIONS 14 Through the County’s public outreach during the Immokalee Area Master Plan restudy process, 15 it is clear that the residents of Immokalee see new possibilities for their community with the 16 development of this Master Plan. With the development of this new Master Plan, Immokalee has 17 chosen to focus on opportunities rather than challenges. Immokalee is committed to redefining 18 its future, revitalizing its community, and developing a new mission that focuses on 19 strengthening and diversifying its economy, embracing cultural diversity, and welcoming visitors 20 to “this place we call home.” 21 During the 2018 public workshop process, residents and business owners established a guiding 22 community vision. It is the intent to implement this vision through the Goals, Objectives and 23 Policies of this Master Plan. The community defined their vision as: 24 “Immokalee is a family-oriented community that supports a healthy lifestyle. It is 25 attractive, environmentally sustainable and offers a full range of housing, 26 recreation and education opportunities to meet all residents’ needs. Immokalee 27 has a safe, well-connected network to walk and bicycle about town, as well as a 28 roadway network needed to support the transport of goods and services. 29 Business and job opportunities flourish in trade and distribution, agri-business, 30 and ecotourism.” 31 Economic opportunity lies in Immokalee’s diverse community. Many residents have roots in 32 Mexico, Central America, Haiti, and various other Caribbean nations. This multicultural heritage 33 should be embraced and used to develop a local marketing strategy. This diversity should guide 34 the redevelopment and design of downtown in order to create a distinct area that will attract new 35 business and visitors. Revitalization of the Main Street commercial corridor will be designed to 36 embrace this cultural diversity; take advantage of the traffic generated by the Immokalee 37 Seminole Casino Hotel and the growing Stewardship Receiving Areas, including the Town of 38 Ave Maria; and create new public plazas and gathering spaces. These public plazas and 39 spaces will be designed within an appropriate streetscape to foster walkability and a mixture of 40 uses, including entertainment and cultural events, and will position Immokalee to attract new 41 residents and visitors to the downtown area. 42 9.C.e Packet Pg. 222 Attachment: BCC Transmittal Revisions to adopted IAMP (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) Proposed Amendments to the Immokalee Area Master Plan Words underlined are added; words struck-through are deleted Words double underlined are CCPC additions; words double struck-through are CCPC deletions The diversity of Immokalee extends to its unique natural surroundings, which can also be a 1 great benefit to the local economy. Lake Trafford, at Immokalee’s western boundary, as well as 2 other adjacent vast natural areas, which include historic working ranches, provide an excellent 3 opportunity to market Immokalee as an ecotourist destination. Immokalee provides a gateway to 4 the Everglades, a world-renowned ecotourist destination. Ecotourists come to an area to 5 experience the natural, rather than the built, environment. Lake Trafford and its environs offer 6 opportunities for boating, fishing, camping, and hiking, and the chance to experience natural 7 Florida and this freshwater frontier. 8 Agriculture continues to be the major local industry and Immokalee residents recognize 9 emerging opportunities for new agricultural-related businesses. Increasing fuel costs, 10 apprehension related to food security, and environmental concerns have increased the demand 11 for safe, sustainable, and domestically produced foods and energy sources. Immokalee has an 12 opportunity to create a new farmers’ market or expand the existing state farmers’ market to 13 serve the regional demand for fresh produce. 14 Additionally, residents see opportunities emerging from the regional economy and the strategic 15 location of Immokalee in the region. Immokalee will not remain isolated in the future. One state 16 arterial (SR 29) runs through the downtown, while another ends just three miles north of 17 downtown (SR 82). A major county road (CR 846, Immokalee Road), connects Immokalee to I -18 75. Planned capacity improvements to SR 82 and SR 29 will open up the area to more travel, 19 and planned roadway expansions, including a SR 29 Loop, will further improve the accessibility 20 to and from Immokalee, helping it to become a tourist destination and a distribution center for 21 goods and services. 22 Improvements to the roadway system, both regionally and within the Immokalee Urban Area, 23 are just one part of how the overall transportation network will impact the future. The Immokalee 24 Regional Airport (IMM) is designated as an official U.S. Port of Entry, with its own full-service 25 Customs Office, supporting both international and domestic trade opportunities, and is a 26 growing cargo service airport. Incentives to encourage economic development at the IMM 27 include the Florida Tradeport which operates within a Foreign Trade Zone (#213), and the 28 Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Zone. The Immokalee Regional Airport (IMM) 29 provides direct access to over 21,000 acres allowing a broad range of aeronautical and 30 industrial uses, of industrial-zoned property and two paved 5,000 x 150- foot runways equipped 31 for Global Position Satellite (GPS) and instrument approaches. 32 The opportunities available through development of the Tradeport are particularly significant 33 given that in 2012 the Collier County Office of Business and Economic Development (OBED) 34 estimated the County will need an additional 3,685 acres of new business park lands by 2030. 35 The OBED has been working to attract research clusters to Collier County to diversify the 36 economy, which is currently highly dependent on only three industries: agriculture, construction, 37 and tourism and services. The three targeted industry clusters are: health and life science; 38 computer software and services; and distribution. Given its location, access to major roads, 39 connectivity with other parts of the state, availability of developable land, and the airport, 40 Immokalee is a prime location for the new distribution industry that the OBED has identified as 41 being vital to the growth and diversification of Collier County’s economy. 42 9.C.e Packet Pg. 223 Attachment: BCC Transmittal Revisions to adopted IAMP (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) Proposed Amendments to the Immokalee Area Master Plan Words underlined are added; words struck-through are deleted Words double underlined are CCPC additions; words double struck-through are CCPC deletions Another potential for economic growth lies in anticipated development in areas surrounding 1 Immokalee. As new towns in eastern Collier County develop, needed government services and 2 departments could be centrally located in Immokalee to serve the eastern portion of the 3 County. 4 5 III. IMMOKALEE AREA MASTER PLAN PRIORITIES 6 The Immokalee Area Master Plan has been developed to emphasize these identified 7 opportunities and strengths. The first goal specifically makes economic development a priority, 8 and the objectives and policies set forth specific ways to promote and diversify the local 9 economy and create a positive business climate. 10 The second goal focuses on quality neighborhoods. An Immokalee Neighborhood Map has 11 been created by the community to begin the process of evaluating the needs of each 12 neighborhood. Future neighborhood improvements such as housing conditions, water 13 management, transportation, lighting and play areas, are encouraged to elevate the quality of 14 life for Immokalee residents 15 The third goal addresses infrastructure and public services. Parks and recreational opportunities 16 to serve the young families in Immokalee are the first public infrastructure item discussed. 17 Transportation is a major component of any community’s public infrastructure needs, and while 18 county-wide issues are still dealt with in the county Transportation Element, this portion 19 addresses Immokalee’s local roads and needed public safety improvements to protect 20 pedestrians and bicyclists. Other important public services include stormwater management and 21 solid waste, which are addressed as well. 22 The fourth goal addresses significant natural resources within the Immokalee Urban Area and 23 ecotourism opportunities. 24 Land use is an integral component of any master plan. The fifth goal defines the land use 25 designations applicable to Immokalee, and as illustrated on the Immokalee Future Land Use 26 Map. Mixed-use, pedestrian-scaled development is important, as is allowing development in 27 appropriate locations, at densities and intensities that will attract new development. 28 Urban form and design are addressed in the sixth goal. These objectives and policies are 29 generally concerned with how to create a theme or brand for Immokalee, provide safe multi- 30 modal transportation, and develop site design and development standards appropriate for 31 Immokalee, rather than continuing to apply standards developed for coastal Collier. 32 The seventh and last goal, is concerned with interlocal and intergovernmental coordination, to 33 address current service issues and to continue collaboration with appropriate organizations in 34 the future. 35 36 9.C.e Packet Pg. 224 Attachment: BCC Transmittal Revisions to adopted IAMP (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) Proposed Amendments to the Immokalee Area Master Plan Words underlined are added; words struck-through are deleted Words double underlined are CCPC additions; words double struck-through are CCPC deletions Goal 1, Objectives and Policies Substantial Changes: • Goal 1 becomes Goal 5 • Mobile Home policy added • Zoning consistency policy added III.

Proposed Industrial – Immokalee Regional Airport Subdistrict (APO) 28 The purpose of this Subdistrict is to allow the Collier County Airport Authority (CCAA) and 29 leaseholders to develop the Immokalee Regional Airport and surrounding lands for the 30 economic health and development of the greater Immokalee area and Collier County as a 31 whole. Because the CCAA needs to retain flexibility to provide various general aviation and 32 revenue-generating opportunities via land leases as the Airport grows and changes over 33 time, a broad range of uses shall be allowed in this Subdistrict. In addition to all uses 34 permitted in the Industrial Subdistrict, allowable uses include: airport facility and related 35 accessory uses; commercial, industrial, institutional and agricultural uses; freight and 36 warehousing; trade; and ancillary recreational, vehicular racing, communications, essential 37 service uses and additional uses as permitted in the Airport Operations Planned Unit 38 Development, Ordinance No. 10-07. 39 40 (I)(VI) D.

These wetlands require greater 1 protection measures than wetlands located in other portions of the Immokalee Urban 2 Designated Area. These wetlands are identified on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map 3 by the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay (LT/CKSSO). 4 The Density and Intensity Blending provisions of this Master Plan may be utilized for 5 lands within this LT/CKSSO. The maximum allowable gross density for lands within the 6 LT/CKSSO is the base density established for the applicable Subdistrict. Lands within 7 the LT/CKSSO are not eligible for any density bonuses, including by right. Essential 8 Services shall be limited to: those necessary to ensure public safety; and those 9 necessary to serve permitted uses, such as private wells and septic tanks, utility lines, lift 10 stations, and water pumping stations. 11 12 The additional wetland protection measures do not apply to properties within the 13 LT/CKSSO that have been legally cleared of native vegetation as of the adoption of this 14 Master Plan [date], but do apply to all new development and redevelopment pursuant to 15 the applicable nonconforming provisions set forth in the LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as 16 amended). 17 If development on the Seminole Reservation functionally severs the connectivity of the 18 wetland system for properties within the LT/CKSSO, east of the Reservation, the 19 additional wetland protection measures will not be applied to those severed eastern 20 wetlands. The standard measures for wetlands in Urban designated lands shall be 21 applied, as described in the CCME, to those severed eastern wetlands. 22 23 2. Proposed Seminole Reservation (SR) Feature 24 The Seminole Reservation within Immokalee comprises approximately 600 acres of 25 largely undeveloped land owned by the Seminole Tribal Council and located on the east 26 side of First Street, South of (SR 29). The Seminole Reservation is not controlled or 27 regulated by the Collier County Growth Management Plan or LDC (Ordinance 04-41, as 28 amended) and is identified on the Future Land Use Map for illustrative purposes only. 29 30 31. Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area Feature (Reorganized) 31 In order for local governments to designate a geographic area within its jurisdiction as an 32 Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area pursuant to Section 163.2517 (4), Florida Statutes, 33 it must amend its comprehensive land use plan to delineate the boundaries within the 34 Future Land Use Element. The Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area is consistent with 35 criteria outlined in Section 163.2514(2) (a)-(e), Florida Statutes. The intent of this 36 delineation is to comprehensively address the urban problems within the area consistent 37 with the goals of this plan. The Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area was adopted by 38 Ordinance 2000-66 and the Urban Infill and Redevelopment Plan was adopted by 39 Ordinance 2000-71. This designation is informational and has no regulatory effect. 40 41 42 43 3.

This Overlay allows the uses of the 2 underlying Industrial - Mixed Use Subdistrict except that commercial uses - those 3 permitted in the C-4 and C-5 zoning districts in the Land Development Code, Ordinance 4 No. 04-41, as amended - are limited to a maximum of thirty percent (30%) of the Overlay 5 land area (approximately 109 acres). To implement this Overlay, Collier County shall 6 initiate a Land Development Code amendment by [2 years of the date of adoption of the 7 ordinance] within two years of adoption. 8 9 For lands in this Overlay that are adjacent to residentially or agriculturally zoned 10 properties a minimum 75-foot building setback, which includes a minimum 20-foot wide 11 vegetated landscape buffer, shall be provided. This vegetated buffer shall be located 12 adjacent to the property line and shall contain, at a minimum, two staggered rows of 13 trees that shall be spaced no more than 30 feet on center, and a double row hedge at 14 least 24 inches in height at time of planting and attaining a minimum of three feet in 15 height within one year. Existing native trees must be retained within this 20-foot wide 16 buffer area to aid in achieving this buffer requirement; other existing native vegetation 17 shall be retained, where possible, to aid in achieving this buffer requirement. Water 18 retention/detention areas shall be allowed in this buffer area if left in natural state, and 19 drainage conveyance through the buffer area shall be allowed if necessary to reach an 20 external outfall. The required 75-foot setback may be reduced to 50 feet if a minimum 6-21 foot tall decorative wall or fence providing at least 80 percent opacity is installed within 22 the reduced setback, and if the required 20-foot wide landscape buffer is located 23 between the wall or fence and the adjacent residentially and/or agriculturally zoned 24 properties. 25 26 9.C.e Packet Pg. 262 Attachment: BCC Transmittal Revisions to adopted IAMP (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) 1ST ST SLAKE TRAFFORD RD15TH ST NWESTCLOX STNEW MARKET RD MAIN STSR 29CR 846SR 29 N171546392286735113612112630253129281236173516151427132532333410132618141821193024312223202423193232434202152719822231924101522293217202220IAMP FLUM - EXISTING VS.

Mixed land uses are a critical component of achieving more livable places and transportation choices. The proposed IAMP provides a mix of land uses arranged in a coherent order of an urban to rural transect. Modifications to residential land use designations encourages compact building design and provides land owners opportunities to create more housing choices, such as the prospect to replace some rental mobile home parks with multi-family units. Transportation needs in Immokalee are strikingly different than coastal Collier County. Approximately 50% of Immokalee residents walk, bicycle and use transit. To support Immokalee residents’ housing and transportation needs, the IAMP must guide and support the smart growth principles of creating a range of housing opportunities in compact, walkable neighborhoods in close proximity to established commercial areas. The adopted, 28-year-old IAMP includes three Districts and eleven Subdistricts on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The proposed IAMP restructures the FLUM into two Districts and eig ht Subdistricts. Table 1: Adopted Future Land Use Designations and Proposed Future Land Use Designations summarizes the changes to the Districts and Subdistricts, including acreage changes.

For ease of comparison of the industrial designation acreage, the adopted IAMP total Industrial is 2,644 acres, and the proposed IAMP is 3,002 acres. A more detailed view of the changes to the uses, density and intensity in each of the future land use designations are summarized in the following three tables: • Table 2: Residential Density Comparison and Acreage Changes; • Table 3: Commercial Use Comparison and Acreage Changes; and • Table 4: Industrial Use Comparison and Acreage Changes. Corresponding maps follow each table. Page 2 of 16 9.C.h Packet Pg. 277 Attachment: IAMP-memo -2019 (8284 : Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Amendments Transmittal) The proposed changes to the IAMP residential land use designations reduce the overall housing potential by approximately 30,000 residential units. This is achieved by converting some of the residential areas to commercial and industrial uses. As shown in Table 2, the base density in each residential subdistrict did not change, it remains the same. The proposed plan does reduce the maximum density allowed in the low residential subdistrict, changing it from 12 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) to 8 du/ac. The maximum densities are inclusive of all density bonuses. The following IAMP FLUM – Residential Changes Only map illustrates where the residential designations were changed. These changes take in to consideration the underlying zoning and property use, and were made to support smart growth principles, to “right size” the urban to rural transect, encourage compact building design, and provide land owners opportunities to create more housing choices.

The CIGM estimates in 2040, the total housing units will be 8,801, adding 2,385 units over the next 20+ years.

Table 2a: Vacant Residential Acres, shows the theoretical range of units using the base and maximum densities. It is important to keep in mind, a property owner can rezone and develop a property at less than the allowed base density, so the numbers should be viewed as general planning estimates. Table 2a: Vacant Residential Acres PROPOSED Future Land Use Base DU/AC Max DU/AC Vacant Acres Potential New Units Low Residential (LR) 4 8 126.8 507 - 1,014 Medium Residential (MR) 6 14 51.7 310 - 724 High Residential (HR) 8 16 165.7 1,326 - 2,651 Total 344.2 2,143 - 4,389 The following Proposed IAMP FLUM Acreage map shows the location of the vacant acres in residential designations in blue. Along with vacant residential acres, there is substantial acreage zoned and used for agriculture. These properties can petition for rezones, and provide opportunities for future housing. However, given the location and expanse of some of these properties, development costs would be higher with a need to extend roadways and utility infrastructure into these areas. The IAMP limits the allowed residential density within the Lake Trafford Camp Keais Strand Overlay (LTCKSO) by eliminating all bonus units. The LTCKSO is the wetland system that flows from the Immokalee urban area into Lake Trafford and Camp Keais. Table 2b: Agriculture Acres in Residential Land Use Designations, shows the theoretical range of potential units using the base and maximum densities, and the LTCKSO in the Low Residential. The LTCKSO does extend into a small area of Medium and High Residential, but given the scale of the change, the density limitations were not calculated for this purpose. Again, a property owner could rezone and develop these properties at less than the allowed base density, and the undevelopable wetland acreage is not defined, so these numbers should be viewed as general, based on the given base and maximum densities and total acreage.

The existing three commercial subdistricts are combined into the one proposed commercial mixed-use subdistrict. Two of the existing commercial subdistricts allowed C1-C4 zoning district uses, while one, the neighborhood center, is described as “limited to barber and beauty shops, drug stores, deli, meat market, bicycle services, restaurant, dry cleaning, veterinary clinics, medical office, laundry facilities, any other convivence commercial uses which is compatible with the foregoing uses.” Staff has interpreted these uses as C-2 uses only, but in approving Westclox 29 CPUD the BCC allowed C-3 and C-4 uses. Given the BCC’s past actions, and the neighborhood center locations at major intersections and along arterial roadways, re-designating the neighborhood centers to commercial mixed-use is appropriate and will aid in creating cohesive commercial areas in Immokalee. The commercial mixed-use subdistrict increases the allowed density from 12 du/ac to 16 du/ac. This density is comparable to the multifamily densities that have recently been requested by multifamily builders in the coastal area. The Recreational Tourist Subdistrict maintains the same uses. The transient lodging density has been increased to 26 units per acre, consistent with the hotel density allowed in other areas. Encouraging hotel development in the Recreational Tourist subdistrict will support the recreational use of Lake Trafford and Pepper Ranch, promoting Immokalee’s economic goal of eco-tourism. The CIGM was consulted in determining the future commercial needs. For 2017, the CIGM lists 1,092,251 sq. ft. of existing commercial use. By 2040, the CIGM forecasts the need for 2,637,393 sq. ft of commercial uses, an additional 1,545,142 sq. ft, which translates into approximately 168 acres. In the proposed Commercial Mixed-Use subdistrict, there are 262 vacant commercial-zoned, or agriculture- zoned acres suitable for future commercial development. This will meet the future commercial demand and provide some flexibility and opportunity for property owners to develop multifamily housing.

The existing two subdistricts have been divided into three, with the Immokalee Regional Airport being specifically designated in the proposed plan. The existing Commerce Center-Industrial subdistrict is renamed to the Industrial Mixed Use subdistrict. The use changes reflect a more modern description and inclusion of industries Collier County would like to attract. While the majority of the parcels in the industrial areas are currently packing plants, warehousing and distribution, and storage, this subdistrict provides a wide range of business opportunities for property owners to develop and redevelop their properties. The IMU removes the reference to the Industrial zoning district uses, but includes the target industry uses, and “similar industrial uses” that could be requested during a rezone. For this purpose, this area is not shown in green or red, but in yellow to indicate while there is a change in the language, the property owners maintain broad industrial type uses that are present today, and advance the economic opportunities for the future. These uses support the community’s number one goal of economic development. During the restudy, several economic studies were consulted, along with the CIGM. As stated in the proposed IAMP introduction, Collier County has estimated the County will need an additional 3,685 acres of new business park lands by 2030. The Immokalee community agreed to designate ten percent of that need within their community and added 368 acres of Industrial Mixed-Use in the logical area that will be served by the new Alternate 29 road and abutting the Immokalee Regional Airport. The CIGM notes, “the industrial sub-model is not a demand model based on the demand of the population. Rather, it is a design model determined by the community’s policy makers. One objective is to insure employment opportunities for future residents. Another objective for industrial development is to diversity its tax as well as its economic base” Economic development is the number one goal of the IAMP and the community particularly looks to the industrial lands surrounding the airport as key economic drivers for Immokalee. This additional industrial land not only supports Immokalee, but Collier County as a whole.

As shown on the AUIR Attachment H (see below), there are no identified deficiencies, that are not currently addressed, in the (vehicular) roadway capacity in the next 10 years. While Collier County tends to focus solely on roadway capacity needs, it’s critical to understand the full transportation needs of the Immokalee community. Approximately half of the working population of Immokalee walk, bicycle and use transit, and nearly all of Immokalee’s children walk, bicycle and use transit. The following MPO Walkability Plan Level of Service map identifies many miles of LOS D (blue line) and F (yellow line) for the pedestrian network. Transportation Planning recognizes these needs and has successfully secured significant grant funding to improve the pedestrian and transit service in a large area of Immokalee. The following Transit Development Plan map shows Immokalee is the most significant community supporting a high and very high transit orientation index. Grant funding is also enhancing transit service for Immokalee. The proposed IAMP includes transportation policies to support theses necessary transportation modes.

The Immokalee Area Master Plan update began as a community initiative in 2005. The Board of County Commissioners established the Immokalee Area Master Plan and Visioning Committee to serve as an ad hoc advisory committee to the Board. The committee met monthly through 2009. Also, during that time, there were 13 public meetings and workshops, before the formal hearing process began. The Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board also met monthly and discussed the IAMP. General notice was provided for each of these meetings and workshops. The IAMP was also publicized and supported by the community through a non-binding referendum. This was an extensive public outreach process to inform the land owners of the changes to the IAMP. The current restudy process honored the community’s tireless efforts and built upon their suggested amendments. In 2017, staff began attending the CRA monthly meetings, as well as Chamber of Commerce meetings, and reaching out to individuals involved in the previous effort. Through 2018, four additional public workshops were held in Immokalee. The workshops were publicly noticed using graphic flyers that were distributed through community organizations, as well as the public notices in both the Naples Daily News and Immokalee Bulletin. These announcements were published in Creole, English, and Spanish. Staff continued to attend monthly CRA meetings, and to make announcements and distribute materials at the Chamber of Commerce meetings. There have been numerous articles in both the Naples Daily News and the Immokalee Bulletin regarding the restudy efforts. Staff also used a vast email distribution list within Immokalee to provide information to residents and business owners. The Immokalee CRA staff has also worked diligently to inform the land owners and provide information. Through public workshops, establishment of a website, use of news articles, attendance at local Immokalee meetings, and use of established email distribution lists, Collier County goes above and beyond the state and local requirements to notify land owners of changes to the Comprehensive Plan. The Collier County Comprehensive Plan process is governed in part by FS Section 163 which specifies the nature and timing of newspaper advertisements - requirements that have been followed (and the timing exceeded) in this Comprehensive Plan amendment process (publication at least 7 days prior to the Transmittal Hearings and 5 days prior to the Adoption hearings). In addition, the Board’s established policy provides standards for communications and notifications to property owners with respect to land use proposals. In the case of County-initiated GMP amendments, LDC Section 10.03.06 E requires Public Hearings for such changes, preceded by newspaper advertising. Through each restudy effort, including the RFMUD and the Golden Gate Area Master Plan restudies, staff has endeavored to provide a robust public involvement process using multiple techniques and resources to notify land owners of changes to the GMP. Consistent with the smart growth principle of encouraging community and stakeholder collaboration in development decisions, the restudy public involvement process and practices have gone well beyond both the state and local requirements for land owner notification.

INTRODUCTION Immokalee has long been recognized as a distinct community within Collier County. Immokalee's economy, -geography, and demographic make-up are different than the rest of Collier County. Approximately one-half of the land within the Immokalee Urban Area is presently zoned and actively used for agriculture. The urban area is surrounded by productive crop lands and environmentally significant habitat. Most Immokalee residents work within the agricultural industry, and the majority of a ricultural laborers originate from Mexico and Central America. Statistics from the _2010 Census {the most comprehensive data. for Immokalee currently available), comparing Immokalee to the County as a whole reflect some of the key socio- economic differences includinci age distribution race and ethnicity, income education and housing. The Immokalee Area Planning Commission was formed in 1965, and Immokalee was governed under separate Zoning and Subdivision Regulations until 1982. While it is now included under the county -wide Land Development Code in 1991 the County again acknowledged the need for Immokalee-specific land use regulation with the adoption of the first Immokalee Area Master Plan as an element in the County's overall comorehensiveplan. Collier Countv first established the Immokalee Area as a Planning Communitv in its 1983 Comprehensive Plan. In 1989, the County adopted revisions to the comprehensive plan, now called the Growth Management Plan GMP which included a re uirement to developan area master plan for Immokalee. In 1991, the County adopted the first Immokalee Area Master Plan {TAMP], as referenced in Policy 4.3 of the Future Land Use Element: A detailed Master Plan for the Immokalee Urban designated area has been developed and was incorporated into this Growth Management Plan in February 1991. Major revisions were adopted in 1997 following the 1996 Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The Immokalee Area Master Plan addresses conservation, future land use, population, recreation, transportation, housing, and the local economy. Major purposes of the Master Plan are coordination of land uses and transportation planning, redevelopment or renewal of blighted areas, and the promotion of economic development. The IAMP is in addition to and supplements the goals, objectives, and policies, of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. Due to the unique geographic, social, and economic characteristics of the Immokalee Urban Designated Area as compared with urban Naples, Coastal Collier County, and the State of Florida as a whole the Board of County Commissioners deemed it necessary to restudy the Immokalee Urban Designated Area. On May 27. 2003, the „Board of County_ Commissioners adopted Resolution 2003-192, which established the Immokalee Area Master Plan Restudy Committee as an ad _hoc _ advisory_ committee to the board. The Committee was to serve for a period of one year. On September 28, 2004, the Board adopted Ordinance 2004-62, extending the timeframe for the advisory - committee and renaming it the Immokalee Master Plan and Visioning Committee UMPVC). On November 13 2007 the Board adopted Ordinance 2007-69 which extended the timeframe aciain, providingfor dissolution of the committee no later than December 31 2009.

Assist in the development of any necessary Requests for Proposals RFPs for consulting services. B. Assist County staff with the review of general planning matters related to the Immokalee Community. These could include housing, zoning,economic and/or Other issues as may be brought before the Committee. C. Identify and provide the Board of County Commissioners the Committee recommendations relative to: 1. road improvements; 2. economic incentives; 3, increasing the quality and quantity of affordable housing: 4. land uses and improvements relative to the Immokalee Regional Airport; 5. density_ increases in mixed-use districts: 6. restructuring of future land use designations and designation boundaries within the Immokalee communityl 7. the facilitation of construction of commercial development in commercial districts' 8. the Dreparation of revisions to current zoning districts and the development of associated LDC Ordinance 04-41 as amended standards and 9. the review of the 5 -year Schedule of Capital Improvements relative to the Immokalee community. D. Assist in the development of revised goals, objectives, and policies, and land use designation descriptions for the Immokalee Area Master Plan. E. Assist. in the review and updating of the Immokalee Area Master Plan in order to establish consistency between the Master Plan and the County Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay provisions. The IMPVC worked steadily towards achieving these goals. However, by 2412 the adoption of the revised IAMP and revised Immokalee Master Plan Future Land Use Mai) remained out of reach and no amendments were made to the TAMP. In 2015, the Board of County_ Commissioners directed staff to update four area master plans including the Immokalee Area Master Plan. Staff then engaged the Immokalee community in a review of the significant work accomplished during the previous restudy. The amendments to the [AMP found herein are a result of the Immokalee residents and business owners continued focus and effort to improve the land use policies that will regulate -growth in their community. An integral component of lmmokalee's future is the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). Established in 2000 by the Board of County Commissioners, the Agency's Words underlined are added; words are deleted 4l212019 Page 24 of 53 0 Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan BCC Transmittal Draft PL201800022SWCPSP-2018-5 mission is to eliminate blighted conditions as identified under Chapter 163 Part 3 of the Florida Statutes. The Board of Coun Commissioners is the ex -officio board of the CRA. In 2000 the BCC adopted the Collier County Community Redevelopment Plan that included two redevelopment areas: Bayshore/Gateway Triangle and Immokalee. In 2000 the Immokalee CRA Local Redevelo ment Advisory Board was created and members from the communitV were appointed to provide recommendations to the CRA to implement the redevelopment plan and the allocation of tax increment revenues generated by increased property values. Over the Vears. the Immokalee CRA Local Adviso Board has served as a vehicle to bring forward community needs and interests. For the pumoses of this Plan the Immokalee CRA is defined to reference the Immokalee component of the Collier County Community Redevelo ment Agency. ll. NEW DIRECTIONS Throu h the County's public outreach during the Immokalee Area Master Plan restudy process, it is clear that the residents of Immokalee see new possibilities for their community with the development of this Master Plan, With the development of this new Master Plan Immokalee has chosen to focus on opportunities rather than challenges. Immokalee is committed to redefining its future revitalizing its community, and developing a new mission that focuses on strengthening and diversifying its economy, embracing cultural diversity, and welcoming visitors to "this place we call home," During the 2018 public worksholp process,residents and business owners established a guiding community vision. .It is the intent to implement this vision through the Goals. Objectives and Policies of this Master Plan. The community defined their vision as: "Immokalee is a family-oriented community that supports a healthy lifest ie. It is attractive, environmentally sustainable and offers a full range of housing, recreation and education opportunities to meet all residents' needs. Immokalee has a safe well-connected network to walk and bicycle about town as well as a roadway network needed to support the transport of goods and services. Business and 'ob opportunities flourish in trade and distribution a ri-business and ecotourism." Economic opportunity_ lies in Immokalee's diverse community. Many residents have roots in Mexico, Central America, Haiti, and various other Caribbean nations. This multicultural heritage should be embraced and used to develop a local marketing strategy. This diversity should guide the redevelopment and design of downtown in order to create a distinct area that will attract new business and visitors. Revitalization of the Main Street commercial corridor will be designed to embrace this cultural diversity: take advantage of the traffic generated by the Immokalee Seminole Casino Hotel and the growing Stewardship Receiving Areas, including the Town of Ave Maria and create new public plazas and gathering spaces. These public plazas and Words underlined are added; words stpu k through,are deleted 412/2019 Page 25 of 53 0 Staff Proposed Amendments Immokalee Area Master Plan BCC Transmittal Draft PL201800022581CPSP-2018-5 s aces will be designed within an approoriate streetsca a to foster walkability and a mixture of uses including entertainment and cultural events and will position Immokalee to attract new residents and visitors to the downtown area. The diversity of Immokalee extends to its unique natural Surroundings, which can also be a feat benefit to the local economy. Lake Trafford at Immokalee's western boundary, as well as other admacent vast natural areas which include historic workinq ranchesprovide an excellent opportunily to market Immokalee as an ecotourist destination. Immokalee provides a gateway to the Everglades, a world-renowned ecotourist destination. Ecotourists come to an area to experience the natural rather than the built environment. Lake Trafford and its environs offer opportunities for boating, fishin cam ing, and hiking, and the chance to experience natural Florida and this freshwater frontier. A riculture continues to be the major local inclusta and Immokalee residents recognize emerging opportunities_ for new agricultural -related businesses. Increasing fuel costs, apprehension related to food security, and environmental concerns have increased the demand for safe sustainable and domestically produced foods and enelngy sources. Immokalee has an opportunity to create- a new farmers' market or expand the existing state farmers' market to serve the regional demand for fresh produce. Additionally, residents see opportunities emerging from the regional economy and the strategic location of Immokalee in the region. Immokalee will not remain isolated in the future. One state arterial (SR 29) runs through the downtown, while another ends just three miles north of downtown (SR 82). A maior county road (CR 846, Immokalee Road), connects Immokalee to I - 75. Planned capacity improvements to SR 82 and SR 29 will open up the area to more travel, and planned roadway expansions, including a SR 29 Loop, will further improve the accessibility to and from Immokalee, -helping it to become a tourist destination and a distribution center for Dods and services. Improvements to the roadwaV s stem both regionally and within the Immokalee Urban Area are must one part of how the overall transportation network will impact the future. Incentives to encourage economic development at the IMM include the Florida Tradeport which operates within a Foreign Trade Zone (#213), and the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Zone. IMM provides direct access to over 1,000 acres allowing a broad range of aeronautical and industrial uses, and two paved runways eguipped for Global Position Satellite (GPS) and. instrument approaches. The opportunities available through development of the Tradeport are particularly significant given that in 2012 the Collier County Office of Business and Economic Development (OBEa) estimated the County will need an additional 3,685 acres of new business park lands by 2030. The OBER has been working to attract research clusters to Collier County to diversify the economy, which is currently highly dependent on only three industries: agriculture, construction, and tourism and services. The three targeted industry clusters are: health and life science; computer software and services, and distribution.

DENSITY RATING The Density Rating System is applicable to areas designated Urban - Mixed Use District as identified on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map. Except as provided below, the final determination of permitted density via implementation of this Density Rating System is made by the Board of County Commissioners throu h an advertised public hearinci process rezone in accordance with the LDC. Density achieved by right(s may be permitted for qualifying Affordable Housing_ projects) shall not be combined with density achieved through the rezone public hearing process. 1. THE DENSITY RATING SYSTEM IS APPLIED IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER: a. Within the applicable Urban designated areas, the base density of the Subdistrict is allowed, though not an entitlement. Density may be increased using applicable density bonuses. For purnoses of calculating the eligible number of dwelling units for the promect, the total number of dwellliRg units.may be rounded up by one unit if the dwelling unit total yields.a fraction of a unit 0.5 or -greater. Acreage used for the calculation of density is exclusive of commercial portions of the project, except within the C-1 through C-3 Commercial zoning districts and except within the Commercial Mixed -Use Subdistrict wherein residential project densities will be calculated on total -gross acres a and except portions of a proiect for land uses having an established equivalent residential density in the Collier County Land Development Code. b. This Density Rating System only applies to residential dwelling units. This Density_ Rating System is not applicable to accessory dwellings or accessary_structures. „Such accessory dwellings and structures include guest houses, mother-in-law's quarters, cabanas, quest suites, and the like. c. All new residential zoning located within the Urban Mixed -Use District shall be consistent with the Density Rating System, except as provided for in Policy 5.1.6. d.

Such a project must comprise a minimum of ten acres. 2. DENSITY BONUSES To encourage infill development, the creation of affordable housing, and preferred roadway access, certain density bonuses are available. If these bonuses are utilized, base densities mak be exceeded. In the Low Residential Subdistrict, the base density of four units per acre may only be exceeded if utilizing an affordable housing bonus. In no case shall the resulting density exceed the maximum density specified in each Subdistrict, a. Proximity to Commercial -Mixed Use If 50% or more of a proiect is within the Commercial - Mixed Use Subdistrict then the base density allowed within the Commercial - Mixed Use Subdistrict of sixteen 16 dwelling units per acre applies to the entire promect, except that this bonus cannot be used to increase density on lands within the project designated Low Residential. Buffering to achieve compatibility with adiacent lower intensity uses shall be required. b. Affordable Housing Bonus, by Public Hearing To encourage the provision of affordable housing within certain Subdistricts in the Urban Designated Area, a maximum of twelve (12) dwelling units per dross _acre may be added to the base density if the proiect meets the definition and re uirements of the Affordable Housing Densily Bonus Ordinance Section 2.06.00 of the Land Development Code, Ordinance 04-41, as amended). c.
