Agenda 11/12/2019 Item #16A25 (Rural Fringe Mixed Use District's)11/12/2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to direct Staff to extend the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District’s (RFMUD) “Early
Entry” bonus Transfer of Developments Rights (TDR) credit, as provided for in the Future Land
Use Element (FLUE) of the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP) and in the Land
Development Code (LDC).
OBJECTIVE: To have the Board provide direction for staff to initiate amendments to the GMP and
LDC to extend the RFMUD’s Early Entry bonus TDR credit for an additional four years, until September
27, 2022.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Early Entry TDR bonus credit was first introduced into the RFMUD through
Ordinance No. 05-25, which provided for its availability for three years from the date of the implementing
Land Development Code amendment to September 27, 2008. Subsequently, the expiration date has been
included in the GMP and the date in both the GMP and LDC has been extended multiple times. The
present expiration date in the GMP is September 27, 2018.
At the February 10, 2015 Board meeting, the Board allocated additional funding to the Zoning Division to
provide for the initiation of the structural review of four sub-areas of the GMP, primarily east of Collier
Boulevard, including the RFMUD. Within that review of the RFMUD, the appropriateness of the Early
Entry bonus TDR credit will be evaluated, with specific recommendations anticipated regarding the
duration of that TDR bonus. Based upon this recognition, staff is seeking direction from the Board to
extend the Early Entry bonus TDR credit for an additional four years, to allow for the public planning
process to arrive upon the best recommendation regarding its long-term availability.
FISCAL IMPACT: There are no unaccounted for costs associated with extending the Early Entry bonus
TDR credit for an additional four years; staff time to prepare the amendments, and costs associated with
advertising the ordinances, have been budgeted within the current fiscal year allocation.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no direct GMP impacts associated with this
Executive Summary. If the requested direction is provided, the Board would ultimately hold hearings to
consider adopting GMP and LDC amendments.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The extension of the Early Entry bonus TDR credit will be effective
when the Ordinance amendments to the GMP and LDC become effective. This item is approved as to
form and legality. It requires a majority vote for approval. [HFAC]
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board direct staff to initiate GMP and LDC
amendments to extend the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District’s Early Entry bonus TDR credit to September
27, 2022.
