Agenda 02/23/2021 Item #11E (Findings for the Immokalee Rd/Randall Blvd Planning Study)02/23/2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to accept the findings of the Immokalee Rd./Randall Blvd. Planning Study and direct staff to proceed with an amendment to the Golden Gate Area Master Plan creating a new Mixed -Use Subdistrict in the Rural Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan. OBJECTIVE: For the Board of County Commissioners (Board) to accept the findings of the Immokalee Rd./Randall Blvd. Planning Study (Study) and provide direction on the implementation strategies and incentives to support economic development in the area. CONSIDERATIONS: On September 24, 2019, the Board adopted the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) in which Rural Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element Policy 3.2.1 required that: "Within one year of the completion of the Randall Blvd. and Oil Well Rd. Corridor study, the County Manager or designee shall initiate an evaluation of the future land uses along Immokalee Rd. in the vicinity of Randall Blvd., Oil Well Rd. and Wilson Blvd. (as generally shown on the Immokalee Rd./Randall Blvd. Planning Study Area Map) and make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners for any proposed changes to the future land uses." (See attached study area map) In November 2020, the Zoning Division's Comprehensive Planning section contracted with a consultant team from Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., to analyze the study area and provide recommendations to guide future development in the area. The Study analyzed existing development conditions, projected growth of the area, and existing applications for proposed development within the Study Area. The Study provided findings and recommendations regarding future land uses, public infrastructure needs, and included several findings, some of which have previously been supported by other County initiatives or GGAMP Policies: The need for additional commercial and mixed -use development, as has been demonstrated by privately initiated Growth Management Plan (GMP) amendments and rezoning petitions. The need to enhance public spaces and green space and implement placemaking tools. o This theme echoes Rural Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element Policy 4.1.2, which identifies that, "the County shall initiate architectural standard requirements in the Land Development Code within two years of adoption that apply to commercial, conditional use and essential services facilities, reflecting the rural character of the Estates area and providing coherence and area identity." o The need to enhance public spaces also echoes Rural Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element Policy 4.1.3, which calls for the creation of "a public network of greenway corridors within Rural Golden Gate Estates that interconnects public lands and permanently protected green space. The greenway network shall consist of interconnected trails and paths that allow people to move about the Estates area by means other than motorized vehicles..." • The need for an interconnected multi -modal transportation network. o This theme validates the need for numerous enhancements to traffic operations both within and surrounding the Study Area undertaken in recent years. o This theme echoes Rural Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element Policy 5.2.4, which identifies that sidewalks and bike lanes shall provide access to government facilities, schools, Packet Pg. 252 02/23/2021 commercial areas, and the planned Metropolitan Planning Organization greenway network. • Existing public infrastructure is sufficient to accommodate growth, but additional improvements may be necessary to make some facilities available to properties south of Immokalee Road. The study proposes the use of GMP and Land Development Code (LDC) amendments to implement the recommendations. See the Staff Analysis section below for more detailed GMP recommendations. Community Engagement: The Study included two meetings to engage the public and solicit community input on November 30, 2020 and January 14, 2021. An online community survey was also available from November 19 to December 10, 2020. Public comments received during these public meetings and results from the survey also supported the following themes: • The need to address transportation infrastructure and operations both within the study area and in the surrounding neighborhoods. • The desire for better or more bicycle and pedestrian connections. • Suggestions to consider proposed development throughout the study area and the commercial areas within the Orange Tree PUD immediately abutting the study area in the analysis of potential commercial development and the study's ultimate recommendations. • The desire for more shopping, restaurants, and retail options in the area. • The desire to retain the rural character of the area and protection of existing environmental resources. Staff Analysis: Zoning Division staff recognizes that several ongoing initiatives have already begun to address the findings and recommendations of the Study, and therefore, Board action related to this study should anticipate and incorporate those initiatives. Additionally, several of the recommendations from the Study may be supported or accomplished through the creation of a new Mixed -Use Subdistrict in the GGAMP Rural Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element. Based on the Study's findings, staff recommends the Subdistrict include elements to address the following priorities: 1) MIXED OF USES, LOCATION, AND PROCESS a. Most of the Study Area is designated as Estates on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM), providing for only single-family residential development. b. The subdistrict should allow the development of commercial, civic, institutional, and residential uses as supported by the Study and recent development proposals. c. The subdistrict should also identify the allowed density and intensity for any allowed uses in the subdistrict. d. The redesignation would provide an incentive -based method to support increased commercial and economic development in the Study Area that has not been captured by recent development proposals. e. The creation of a new GMP subdistrict would still require property owners to seek zoning approval, ensuring compatibility of new mixed -use developments with the existing neighborhood. 2) MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION NETWORK a. The subdistrict should require enhanced bicycle and pedestrian facilities at new developments, especially at key intersections and locations where commercial or non- residential uses interact with residential. 3) UNIQUE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS a. The subdistrict should establish development standards that are unique from other areas Packet Pg. 253 02/23/2021 in the Estates and which creates a coordinated theme among new and proposed developments in the study area. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact related to the acceptance of, and direction to implement the Study. The proposals in the study do not obligate any funding for any planning activity listed. The costs associated with creation of a new subdistrict will be limited to staff time to prepare a GMP amendment and related advertising. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Acceptance of the Study as an additional planning tool to guide development and development within the Golden Gate Estates area is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan. If the Board elects to pursue GMP or LDC amendments, any such amendments would be subject to Board approval. LFGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote. (HFAC) RECOMMENDATION: To accept the findings of the Immokalee Rd./Randall Blvd. Planning study and direct staff to proceed with an amendment to the Golden Gate Area Master Plan Rural Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element that would create a new subdistrict that allows for a mix of land uses, an interconnected, multimodal transportation network, and unique development standards.

Conclusion..................................................................................................................................................86 Appendices......................................................................................................................................................89 INTRODUC ION Collier County initiated this Immokalee Road and Randall Boulevard Planning Study ("Study") recommended through the 2019 adopted amendments to the Golden Gate Area Master Plan to evaluate the existing conditions, future conditions, and recommendations for the study area (See Map 1), The study area encompasses approximately 277 acres, consists of 55 parcels, and is located in northern Collier County approximately 9 miles east and 8.5 miles north of 1-75; respectively. The purpose of this Study is to identify the land use tools and infrastructure necessary to support future development within the Study Area and is also intended to provide generalized, guiding principles in the development of the area. The findings of the Study will serve as a planning tool for the County to effectively coordinate land use and development. There are a number of existing plans and studies guiding land use and development within this area including the Commercial Needs Analysis and Residential Market Study (Real Estate Econometrics, Inc., 2020), It is the intent of this Study to consolidate these previous studies, where possible, and apply realistic growth projections using the 2020 County's Collier Interactive Growth Model, The study area is located in a portion of the County that is experiencing increased growth and development (See Map 2). Although this area is developing in a suburban development pattern and oriented towards vehicular movements, further auto -centric uses and development patterns need to be analyzed to determine if an alternative approach to transportation planning in the form of mobility enhancements can be supported and if so, what form of development should be considered. This area is intended to serve as a key focus for future development and redevelopment consistent with its location along a strategic transportation corridor, This Study examines if the current conditions of the study area will allow for and support the expected growth and needs of the community. 4 COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING STUDY The Existing Conditions Analysis of this Study provides an analysis of the following for the study area; Population/demographic trends; Existing land use; Future land use and zoning; and Public infrastructure including transportation, water, wastewater, and stormwater facilities. The study area's current population trends, existing land use, and future land use designations are used to identify the vacant land "carrying capacity" This carrying capacity is necessary to understand and plan for the ultimate build -out of properties within the study area and identify items for further review and consideration. The Future Conditions Analysis section addresses the ability of current land use standards and infrastructure/facilities to be able to support and serve the study area as well as possible shortfalls in service delivery, It is important to note that infrastructure can, and in many cases, is a limiting factor for development based on available capacity in the system. This section also provides recommendations and identifies the infrastructure and land use needs necessary to support the market and identifies what steps Collier County and/or the service providers can take to support development/redevelopment, promote economic development, and increase the overall tax revenues within the study area.

For the purpose of this analysis, the following properties (55 parcels) which comprise the study area were analyzed (See Table 1). Note, due to the arrangement of parcel 37697840002, including previous construction on the parcel and its orientation, only the eastern portion of the parcel is included in this analysis.

Since the 2000 Census, the County's population has increased by nearly 45%, the equivalent of 524,939 new residents, Population growth in Collier County is primarily due to the in -migration of the ongoing arrival of baby boomer retirees. As provided in Table 2 and Figure 1, by the year 2040 the population of Collier County is projected to total 524,939 residents. This is a projected annual growth rate of just over 2% from 2015 to 2040 compared to Florida's projected annual growth rate of 1.08% during the same time period. Collier County is expected to continue to experience population growth in the coming years, and it is vital that the County continues to evaluate the existing conditions in growing areas to ensure that the expected population growth and needs of the community can be supported.

According to the CIGM, the population within a 15-minute drive time is predicted to grow by 51,688 people between 2020 and 2040 (See Table 3 and Figure 2). Similarly, housing units within a 15-minute drive time are expected to increase by 21,481 units between 2020 and 2040. This is approximately a 62% increase in population and a 54% increase in housing units. Existing or developing commercial nodes within this 15-minute drive time were also analyzed (See Map 4), According to the Market Study, Collier County has shown a propensity for commercial development to follow residential development as the primary economic drivers are tourism, agriculture, and real estate construction. The limited economic diversification fuels residential development, which then supports commercial development as people moving into the County require goods and services. As the study area continues to develop, the population will increase significantly as other areas of the County reach full development and therefore the commercial supply will need to be increased to reach the overriding demand from this growth.

Within a 5-minute drive time of the study area, population and housing units are also expected to experience growth (See Table 4 and Figure 3). According to the CIGM, the population within a 5-minute drive time is predicted to grow by 8,479 people and the housing units are expected to increase by 3,362 units between 2020 and 2040, This is approximately a 66% increase in population and a 70% increase in housing units within this short drive time of the study area. There is a greater percentage increase in both population and housing units within the 5-minute drive time in the immediate vicinity of the study area than within the 15-minute drive time. In order to absorb and support this growth the appropriate infrastructure and land development tools need to be in place.

Existing land uses may not precisely reflect what is 'on the ground' at the time of the final report (vs the time when analyzed) based on the information currently available as of the date of this report and/or the "lag" between what is constructed (when) and the time to update the County Property Appraiser's data. Note that the existing land use code for Parcel 63810090027 identifies the property as vacant, yet, the property has an approved development order (PL20180000036) and is in the process of being developed as commercial. Also note that there is currently a pending Growth Management Plan amendment to allow commercial (Petition CP-2018-4/PL20160000221) which was transmitted to the state and adoption hearings are anticipated for spring 2021 for Parcel 37690040003 (identified as governmental per the existing land use codes). Additionally when analyzing the existing conditions of properties adjacent to the study area it is important to note that two currently vacant parcels located east of Immokalee Rd. and south of Oil Well Rd (See Appendix E) which are a part of the Orange Tree PUD are approved for future commercial development that may support the study area. Limited portions of the study area are developed. Based on the available data, the study area consists of the following existing land uses; Vacant (vacant residential and vacant commercial); Residential (single family); Commercial (one story stores and community shopping centers); Industrial (open storage); and Governmental (county). The study area consists primarily of existing vacant land (59.3%) followed by governmental land (28.7%) as shown in Table 5 and Figure 4. These existing land uses make up 88% of the study area with residential, commercial, and industrial existing land uses making up 12% of the study area.

This helps to "inform" what is permitted to be developed or redeveloped, and by what standards. It also helps to identify the potential maximum build out under the currently adopted standards. Zoning The subject area includes the three (3) zoning districts; Estates (E), Planned Unit Development (PUD), and Mixed Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) (See Map 5). The subject area does not include any Zoning Overlays. As seen in Table 6 and Figure 5, the majority (93.7%) of the parcels within the study area are zoned as Estates. A brief summary of each district is discussed in this section.

The E district is also designed to accommodate as conditional uses, development that provides services for and is compatible with the low density residential, semi -rural and rural character of the E district. Planned Unit Development (PUD) Per Section 2.03.06 of the Code, the purpose and intent of establishing the PUD district is to provide procedures and standards to encourage mixed use planned developments that may be situated at appropriate locations, or planned developments that may or may not be mixed use in the urban fringe areas. It is further the purpose and intent of these PUD regulations to encourage ingenuity, innovation and imagination in the planning, design, and development or redevelopment of relatively large tracts of land under unified ownership or control, Mixed Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) Per Section 2.03.06 of the Code, the MPUD district is intended to accommodate a planned unit development with more than one type of PUD district. COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING STUDY Future Land Use Per the Collier County Future Land Use Map (FLUM), the study area is currently comprised of the Estates Designation and Rural Settlement Area District (See Map 6). The Golden Gate Area Master Plan Element shows that the study area properties lie within the Rural Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element (See Appendix A), The vision for the Rural Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element is expressed as an interconnected, low -density residential community with limited goods and services in neighborhood centers, defined by rural character with appreciation for nature and quiet surroundings. The Rural Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element provides a series of designations, districts, subdistricts, etc. which provide a number of "layers" for properties (See Figure 6). Within the Rural Golden Gates Estates Sub -Element, the study area lies within both the Estates Designation and Agricultural/Rural Designation as shown on the map in Appendix B. Properties within the Estates Designation are further delineated into either the Mixed Use District Residential Estates Subdistrict or the Commercial District Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict. Properties within the Agricultural/Rural Designation lie within the Rural Settlement Area District (See Appendix C). Figure 6 displays a Future Land Use flow chart with the two designations per the FLUM identified in light blue.

Furthermore, the Rural Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element ("Sub -Element") states that the Estates Designation is characterized by low density semi -rural residential lots with limited opportunities for other land uses, Typical lots are 2.25 acres in size. However, there are some legal non -conforming lots as small as 1,14 acres. Residential density is limited to a maximum of 1 unit per 2.25 gross acres, or 1 unit per legal non -conforming lot of record, exclusive of guesthouses. Multiple family dwelling units, duplexes, and other structures containing two or more principal dwellings, are prohibited in all Districts and Subdistricts in this Designation. Generally, the Estates Designation also accommodates future non-residential uses as identified within the Sub -Element, The Estates Designation includes the Mixed Use District Residential Estates Subdistrict and the Commercial District Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict. Residential Estates Subdistrict Per the Sub -Element, single-family residential development is allowed within this subdistrict at a maximum density of 1 unit per 2.25 gross acres, or 1 unit per legal non -conforming lot of record, exclusive of guesthouses. CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict Per the Sub -Element, it is the intent of the Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict to provide commercial goods and services to the surrounding area. The following standards apply for this subdistrict; Tract 55 shall only be utilized for native preservation and water management areas. Development intensity on the east one-half of Tract 54 shall be limited to 20,000 square feet of commercial development. Development intensity on Tracts 72, 89, 90,107, 108, 125, 126, 127 and the west one-half of Tract 54 shall be limited to 360,950 square feet of floor area, of which no more than 285,950 square feet shall be retail development. The first phase of the project development shall include a grocery anchor, with a minimum of 35,000 square feet of gross leasable floor area, prior to any certificates of occupancy being issued beyond 100,000 square feet of commercial development. Excluding the commercial zoning on Tract 71 and the existing approved commercial zoning on the east one-half of Tract 54, any additional development in the Subdistrict shall be developed in phases. Phase I shall be limited to 100,000 square feet of gross leasable floor area. Subsequent phases shall not receive building permits until the Randall Boulevard/Immokalee Road intersection project, including the widening of the segment of Randall Boulevard abutting the Subdistrict has commenced. No Certificates of Occupancy shall be issued for subsequent development phases until the Randall Boulevard/Immokalee Road intersection project is substantially complete. Neither the building permits limitations nor the Certificates of Occupancy limitations shall apply if satisfactory alternative mitigation is approved by the Board of County Commissioners pursuant to Transportation Element Policy 5.1, or if traffic conditions change in such a manner that adequate capacity is available. Rural Settlement Area District Per Section II of the Future Land Use Element, the Rural Settlement Area District has been "vested" for the types of land uses specified in that certain "PUD by Settlement" zoning granted by the County as referenced in that certain Settlement and Zoning Agreement, This Settlement Area is encompassed by the Orange Tree PUD and Orange Blossom Ranch PUD, COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING STUDY Per the Rural Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element, the Rural Settlement Area District within the Agricultural/Rural Designation has Twenty-one hundred (2,100) dwelling units and twenty-two (22) acres of neighborhood commercial uses and hotel/motel use "vested" The types of uses permitted in this District include residential, earth mining, commercial, agricultural, community facility, community uses, education facilities, religious facilities, golf course, open space and recreational uses, and essential service uses. Future zoning changes to add dwelling units or commercial acreage within the geographic boundaries of this District will not be prohibited or discouraged by reason of the above referenced vested status. PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE This section provides an analysis of the existing public infrastructure within the study area limited to transportation, water, wastewater, and stormwater facilities. Transportation This portion of the study identifies (summarizes) the transportation system including the existing network and intersection conditions as well as identification of roadway types (i.e. collector, arterial, etc.) and available traffic counts. This also compares adopted Level of Service (LOS) standards (based on the 2020 Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) prepared by Collier County) to the current daily LOS of the major roadways (based on information provided by Collier County). The roadway types adjacent to and influencing the circulation and access to the study area are shown in Map 7. Immokalee Rd. is a major arterial that extends through (bifurcates) the study area. Key intersections include: Immokalee Rd. & Oil Well Rd. Immokalee Rd. & Randall Blvd, • Immokalee Rd. & Wilson Blvd. Figure 8 provides a "snapshot" of the intersection of Immokalee Road and Randall Boulevard including their respective lane configurations. CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS Figure 8: Immokalee Rd, & Randall Blvd, Intersection Source; Nearmap COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING STUDY Oil Rd. is a minor arterial that intersects Immokalee Rd. and provides access to the study area. Randall Blvd. and Wilson Blvd. N. are collector roadways that also intersect Immokalee Rd. and provide access to the study area. The remainder of the roadways that are adjacent to and influence the circulation and access to the study area are classified as local roadways and include 33rd Ave. NE., 4th St. NE., 2nd St. NE., 2nd St. NW., 8th St. NE., 24th Ave. NE., Bergamot Ln., and Orange Tree Blvd. Based on information provided by Collier County, traffic counts were compiled within the study area (See Table 8). Traffic counts are based on Count Stations 586, 650, and 676 (hose counts), 651 (camera counts), as well as 674 and 675 (Wavetronix counts). Immokalee Rd, has the highest average daily volume counts followed by Randall Blvd. and then Wilson Blvd. Table 8 also identifies the adopted LOS standards (adopted by Collier County) compared to the daily LOS for the major roadways. For reference, the standardized descriptions of service levels used in transportation planning are as follows; • LOS A: A condition of road performance where traffic density is very low, with little or no restrictions in maneuverability, Drivers can maintain their desired speed with little or no delay. A condition of road performance where traffic density is low, and vehicles travel with operating speeds somewhat restricted by other vehicles. Drivers still have reasonable freedom to select their speeds. A performance condition where operating speeds are determined by other vehicles, permitting a stable traffic flow, Drivers might have limitations to maneuver and to increase speeds. • LOS D: A condition of road performance where traffic density is high but tolerable, Fluctuations in traffic volumes may cause reductions in operating speeds. Drivers have little freedom to maneuver. In some instances, traffic flows approach unstable conditions. • LOS E: Represents traffic operation near the roadway capacity or maximum service volume. Vehicles flow at unstable conditions. Stop -and -go situations may happen. In freeways or limited access roads, speeds are near thirty (30) miles per hour and traffic density is high. • LOS F: This condition usually results from long lines of vehicles backing up because the traffic volume exceeds the roadway capacity. The vehicles are forced to operate at very low speeds. Stop -and -go situations are frequent and in extreme cases, vehicles stop for long periods of time. Based on the analysis, Immokalee Rd. and Wilson Blvd. are operating better than the adopted LOS standards while Randall Blvd. is operating at the adopted LOS standard. CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS 33 The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) completed the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study for the intersection of Immokalee Rd. and Randall Blvd, in December 2020. The study involved the evaluation of several intersection concepts to enhance traffic operations and safety conditions based on current and future travel demands. The PD&E study is finalized and was submitted to the FDOT Office of Environmental Management for review and was granted Location, Design and Concept Approval, The project is now eligible to move to the next phases of development. The phases that will follow the PD&E study will include the design of the project, acquisition of right-of-way, if necessary, and construction of the improvements by the Transportation Engineering group. The County has completed the Randall Boulevard and Oil Well Road Corridor Study (May 2019) to evaluate several corridor alternatives to enhance traffic operations and safety conditions based on current and future travel demands. On May 14, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners voted to approve the staff recommendation to expand Randall Blvd. (between 8th St. and Everglades Blvd,) to 6-lanes, Randall Blvd. (between Everglades Blvd, and Desoto. Blvd,) to for 4-lanes and expand Everglades Blvd. (between Oil Well Rd, and Randall Blvd.) to 4-lanes.

This information and the results are provided to address the potential impacts of projected development on existing and planned public infrastructure. The study area currently has water and wastewater transmission mains available for utility services by the Collier County Water - Sewer District (CCWSD) although none of the properties within the study area are currently served. Until September 11, 2018 these properties were outside the boundary of the CCWSD but were incorporated by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners by Resolution 2018-152, Potable Water The Collier County Water -Sewer District currently has potable water service available to the study area. The existing potable water facilities within the study area are displayed in Map 8, Potable water for the study area is available from two inter- connected treatment plants, which are the North County Regional Water Treatment Plant (NCRWTP) and the South County Regional Water Treatment Plant (SCRWTP), The combined WTPs provide a firm operating capacity of 48 million gallons per day (MGD) with a permitted capacity of 52 MGD. The required treatment capacity for the 2021 Fiscal Year is 35.0 MGD. An existing 36" ductile iron watermain runs along the north and west side of Immokalee Road, which is sufficient to handle new development demands. Infrastructure improvements are not necessary, except for distribution system infrastructure internal to each development.

The existing wastewater facilities within the study area are displayed in Map 9, There is existing infrastructure along Immokalee Road which directs flow to the North County Water Reclamation Facility (NCWRF), including a 16" PVC sewage force main along the north and west side of Immokalee Road. The NCWRF provides an operating/permitted capacity of 26.35 MGD and has a required treatment capacity of 17.4 MGD for the 2021 Fiscal Year. The County is currently in the process of inter -connecting the NCWRF and the South County Water Reclamation Facility (SCWRF), This will provide operational flexibility and reliability by allowing the Water -Sewer District to direct flows between service areas as needed. It is anticipated that future development of vacant parcels and redevelopment of parcels currently not served by central sewer will require new pump stations to serve their wastewater needs. All properties front on Immokalee Road and will connect to the 16" PVC sewage force main. Infrastructure improvements are not necessary, except for collection system infrastructure internal to each development. There is no available reclaimed water infrastructure in the area.

These four basins fall within the Big Cypress Watershed, which ultimately discharges into the Gulf of Mexico. Each basin is interconnected through a series of canal systems. The existing stormwater facilities within the study area are displayed in Map 10. There are two major canal systems that run through or are adjacent to the study area; Corkscrew Canal and Cocohatchee Canal, These two canal systems outflow either west to the Gordon River or south to the Gulf of Mexico, They also fall under the jurisdiction of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), Additional existing stormwater infrastructure within the study area includes stormwater pipes, fixed weirs, slide gate weirs, and lakes. Based on available information, the study area appears to have adequate stormwater conveyance facilities to received current stormwater discharges from the study area, Requirements regarding the stormwater treatment of the study area, depending on the proposed development, can be attributed to the stormwater treatment regulations in place at the time of permitting in each individual development. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) is the primary State agency entrusted with enacting and administering regulation related to stormwater management in Florida. Stormwater management regulations and permitting is delegated to the SFWMD. The study area does fall within what the SFWMD considers an "Impaired Waterbody° which includes waterbodies determined by the FDEP to be "impaired" due to pollutant discharges. Permitting within an impaired waterbody requires additional water quality treatment volume for discharges to impaired water bodies, Also, the study area falls within the Big Cypress area of Collier County, which is considered a sensitive area according to the WMD where water quality considerations are extremely important. Water quality monitoring may be required within the study area. 38 COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING STUDY Map 10: Stormwater Facilities CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS OMP& z 3 FL JRE CONDITIONS ffirmmignmAj rAlk Based on the existing conditions analyzed, the future conditions provide information and analysis on several topics including community engagement and the vacant land carrying capacity. These culminate into the planning and public infrastructure recommended improvements, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT This section summarizes the results of the public input meeting and survey, the findings of which will be used to inform the formation of recommendations within the study area. Community engagement and input was a vital component of this Study. The Collier County Growth Management Department hosted public input meetings on November 30t", 2020 and on January 14t", 2021, as well as kicked off a public online surveying period on November 191", 2020. The online survey remained open and available for completion through December 101", 2020 which gave the public three (3) weeks to provide input as well as (in addition to) at the public input meetings. The survey collected the thoughts and opinions of community members and stakeholders on how to improve the study area. A summary of the survey results can be viewed in the graphs and images below (See Figures 9-16). In total, 57 people participated in the online survey.

Participants largely responded that they were originally drawn to the area due to the affordability and the rural setting. Many participants described the area as currently being underdeveloped and growing with traffic congestion being a concern. Participants also listed that there are not enough amenities in the area and that more businesses, restaurants, and shopping is needed. Participants responded that they envision increased commercial development in 5 to 10 years and listed more shopping and restaurants as the number one activity that they would like to see more of. Participants emphasized that the biggest opportunity for the area was providing basic needs without over building the area and identified having to currently drive to other parts of the County such as North Naples for shopping and restaurant options. The majority of participants also identified both a lack of places to eat and shop (28%) and traffic (27.2%) as the biggest challenges that the study area faces. Comments received by participants had a common theme behind them which is the vision for a sustainable balance between (re) development and the environment without overbuilding the study area. Participants identified wanting to see increased parks and public open spaces, improved traffic/transportation routes, additional commercial and family entertainment, protection of the environment (including appropriate buffers), and increased walking and biking options. Based on the comments received at the workshops and the online survey there was an increased concern regarding transportation. Some of these comments were more generalized in nature and may be applied to the transportation network in and around the study area. The public engagement and input process revealed a few main takeaways for the vision of the area which help identify and form the basis for the recommendations moving forward. These main takeaways for the future (re)development of the study area include the protection of existing environmental resources, more public open spaces, increased commercial/restaurant/retail options, improved roadways that provide for a reduction in traffic, and increased mobility options. CHAPTER 3: FUTURE CONDITIONS 49 VACANT LAND CARRYING CAPACITY To better understand the current level of development potential and the ability of the study area to absorb the growth that is expected, a vacant land carrying capacity analysis (sometimes referred to as a build out analysis) was performed utilizing the currently adopted FLUM and vacant lands as identified by the Collier County Property Appraiser data received from the Collier County Growth Management Department in October 2020. Maximum densities and intensities allowed per the Collier County Growth Management Plan were assigned to each future land use designation as documented in Table 9; however, it is understood that development at the maximum level(s) is not expected or realistic based on representative trends but needs to be understood and analyzed accordingly. Note, the existing land use code for Parcel 63810090027 identifies the property as vacant, yet, the property has an approved development order (PL20180000036) and is in the process of being developed as commercial and therefore was not included as a part of this vacant land carrying capacity analysis. Tracts 72, 89, 90, 107, 108, 125, and 127 within the Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict are identified as vacant and as discussed within the previous section, Phase I of development shall be limited to 100,000 square feet of gross leasable floor area, Tracts 71, 55, and 54 which have specific density and intensity standards within the Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict are not identified as vacant. Furthermore, as discussed previously, typical lots in the Residential Estates Subdistrict are 2.25 acres in size, however, there are some legal non -conforming lots as small as 1.14 acres. Residential development within the Residential Estates Subdistrict is allowed a maximum density of 1 unit per 2.25 gross acres, or 1 unit per legal non -conforming lot of record. Twenty-three (23) parcels within the Residential Estates Subdistrict are identified as vacant according to the Collier County Property Appraiser land use codes, COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING STUDY All of the vacant acreage within the study area lies within the Estates Designation with 79% designated as the Residential Estates Subdistrict and 21% designated as the Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict (See Map 11). The build out analysis shows that the currently adopted FLUM allows for a maximum construction of approximately 23 dwelling units and approximately 700,000 square feet of non-residential floor area. According to the Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR), the average household size for Collier County is 2.36 as of 2019. Based on this average household size, the study area can expect to absorb 54 people under the currently adopted FLUM designations. As stated earlier in the population analysis, the population within a 5-minute drive time of the study area is predicted to grow by 8,479 people between 2020 and 2040 according to the CIGM, Table 9: Vacant Land Carrying Capacity Estates Designation Residential Estates 23 (129,60 ac) 1 du/lot 23 du Subdistrict Randall Boulevard Commercial 7 (33.76 ac) Subdistrict Rural Settlement Area District Source: Collier County Growth Management Department and Collier County Property Appraiser 100,000 sq. ft./tract 700,000 sq. ft.

This vision includes the preservation of the rural feel of the area, providing for public open spaces that encourage gathering and protect the environment, creating a destination that serves people that live in the area, and ensuring safe pedestrian connections including opportunities to park once and walk. Based on this input and the Existing Conditions analysis, three main planning strategies for future (re)development of the study area were identified that will assist in providing the overall vision for future development and investment in the study area. These planning strategies are discussed further in detail in this section and are shown in Figure 17. Provide intrinsic environmental, aesthetic, Create a live, work, and play environment and Establish a highly connected, pedestrian and recreational opportunities to the establish an urban form that is both aesthetic friendly center that integrates bicycle and surrounding community. and unique to this place. pedestrian amenities including safe and convenient ways to cross roadways. CHAPTER 3: FUTURE CONDITIONS 53 ri PROVIDE A MIX OF LAND USE AND PROMOTE PLACEMAKING o IV PROVIDE AND ENHANCE DEVELOP AN PUBLIC SPACES AND GREEN INTERCONNECTED SPACE MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION NETWORK PROVIDE A MIX OF LAND USE AND PROMOTF PLACEMAKING A mix of land use provides alternatives to the conventional development patterns and also allows for (encourages) the sharing of resources, including infrastructure, and also helps to create a "place" Placemaking is an important strategy in preserving the study area's sense of place while developing a mix of uses for a live -work -play environment, Placemaking also generates a destination for new businesses and promotes the growth of existing businesses within the study area. A concern for the study area is that sprawl may become an issue and the rural heritage of the area may be lost as the area continues to grow and develop. It is the goal of this Study to create a destination with a mix of land uses in a context sensitive and concentrated setting which enhances and blends with the existing development pattern. There is opportunity to develop the vacant "green" fields (i.e., undeveloped) that are a part of the study area. It has been identified that there is a desire for more restaurants and retail in the study area to serve the community. Given the area's proximity to established residential neighborhoods and major transportation corridors as well as predicted population growth, the study area has potential to attract a diverse mix of uses. The vacant land carrying capacity analysis shows the opportunity for developing an additional 700,000 sq. ft, of commercial and 23 residential units, While there may not be a need for more residential development from the community perspective, the population is projected to grow by 8,479 people within a 5-minute drive time in the next 20 years according to the CIGM. Mixed use development should be considered at the main intersection of Randall Blvd, and Immokalee Rd. to promote a mix of housing options for varied family sizes and income to assist in capturing the predicted growth while also providing for essential services and commercial uses that provide for the daily needs of residents as well as attract and retain a sustainable employment base. Figure 18 provides an example of the "building blocks" of mixed use development that should be considered for this area especially when provided in the suburban context in which the study area is located. CHAPTER 3: FUTURE CONDITIONS INSRn� akm I Figure 18: Mixed Use Development Example --Z 77 4 56 COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING STUDY The properties at the main intersection of Randall Blvd. and Immokalee Rd as identified in Map 12 are recommended to be considered for future mixed use development. These parcels were identified for a few reasons. One reason is that the properties are currently identified as vacant by the Collier County Property Appraiser land use codes. Additionally, the properties located south of Randall Blvd. are currently designated as Randall Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict and there is already future commercial development proposed and approved within and adjacent to the study area. Mixed use development would allow for different types of land uses to coexist and benefit from proximity to each other as well as create a vibrant destination. While retail and restaurants can be supported, additional essential services such as offices may be supported as well to serve the community. Finally, the parcels north of Immokalee Rd, were included to tie into the proposed mixed -use and existing/future commercial development of the area. Identifying and directing mixed use development to these vacant parcels identified at the study area's main intersection ensures that development is compact in one place and not sprawled throughout and also ensures that the rest of the study area will not become too overbuilt and can maintain its rural character.

Mixed use development would encourage a mix of retail, restaurant, office, and medium density residential uses including allowances for vertical mixed -use development (residential over office or retail) (See Figure 19). It should be understood that the standards for density and intensity need to be developed in context with the study area's location (more suburban vs. urban core) and also in consideration of the available infrastructure within the area. Figure 19: Mixed Use Development Examples COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING STUDY A planning tool that could be used for the study area to achieve the desired development is a mixed use designation with design/form based code principles. This will ensure that the development that occurs is context sensitive to the suburban transitioning area and promotes the desired development form instead of possible sprawl or strip malls (See Figure 20). Design/form based code principles are a land development regulation or series of regulations that fosters predictable built results and a high -quality public realm by using physical form (rather than separation of uses) as the organizing principle for the code, Design/form based code principles are becoming increasingly popular in communities seeking practical ways to grow smarter and they offer a powerful alternative to conventional zoning by emphasizing the future physical form of the built environment. These types of standards primarily focus on the relationship between buildings, sidewalks, and streets, and promote walkability and a dynamic pedestrian experience, These standards also put less emphasis on the use inside the building and more emphasis on the building form and placement (See Figure 21), location of parking, treatment of public/private spaces (See Figure 22), and other aspects, resulting in a more predictable development pattern for the community. Some communities have opted to implement these principles into the code in the form of a hybrid code (incorporating portions of design and conventional codes) rather than adopt a traditional form based code due to ease of use and understanding while retaining conventional code provisions which are more widely used and understood.

The goal is to have predictability in the character of the area and create a sense of place for mixed use development. Arranging a mix of land uses on streets and blocks that function together is key to creating an attractive public realm (See Figure 23). When buildings and the public realm are consistently arranged the uses within the individual structures becomes less important than in conventional suburban arrangements. Enhanced code provisions allow (encourage) greater flexibility, reduced setbacks, wider sidewalks, narrower roadways (where appropriate) and reduced parking requirements to create a more walkable development. As new development occurs in the study area it should promote greater internal and external site connectivity and support accessibility for pedestrians. Urban design principles that should be integrated in the development pattern include; Connectivity Site Orientation Public Realm Enhancements Ground Floor Design and Use Transition to Neighborhoods Figure 23: Mixed Use Development Examples CHAPTER 3: FUTURE CONDITIONS ITEM! . 0 %1111 = I I Additional planning tools may also be considered in order to create incentives for development and promote economic development, These include, but are not limited to, expediated permit review or density/intensity bonuses where appropriate. Another useful planning tool is the use of Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs), A TDR program could be an alternative tool to amending the future land use/zoning to avoid increasing densities in the regional context. Collier County currently has a TDR program in place that could be used to facilitate and target growth in the study area (receiving areas) while protecting important environmental lands and habitats (sending areas). The County should memorialize the preferred growth strategy in the Growth Management Plan Update, The Growth Management Plan is the County's planning tool to inform zoning decisions and other changes necessary to implement recommendations in this study. See Table 10 for a summary of recommendations in order to achieve the goal of providing a mix of land use and promoting placemaking, Figure 23 (Continued): Mixed Use Development Examples COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING STUDY Create a Mixed -use Destination Create Incentives for Development Table 10: Summary of Recommendations • Create an identity for the study area • Transition from suburban, strip mall oriented commercial to an integrated, connected area Mixed use designation with design/form based code • Improve mobility access and connections principles • Create an activity center that is complimentary to the surrounding areas • More efficient use of existing and planned infrastructure • Possible administrative review or expedited review of desired project types • Expedited permit review • Density/intensity bonuses for providing "community benefits" public realm • Density/intensity enhancements (multi -use recreation trails, public bonuses open spaces, regional stormwater facilities, enhanced stormwater best management • TDRs practices, or similar) • If bonus provisions not recommended, consider increased density/intensity through TDR program (from off-site/outside of study area • Growth Management Plan Amendment • Land Development Code Amendment • Growth Management Plan Amendment • Land Development Code Amendment CHAPTER 3: FUTURE CONDITIONS 63 Provide And Enhance Public Spaces And Green Space The rural to suburban character and area's environment were both identified as important to protect in the (re)development of the study area. Additionally, providing public open spaces and parks for families that live in the area was also identified as another important aspect in planning for the community, It is the goal of this Study to ensure that the area's character is enhanced by reducing the encroachment of suburban sprawl while still accommodating opportunities for growth and economic development. The quality of the public realm by measure of proximity, accessibility, activities, economic vitality, and attractiveness as well as the quality of parks and open space help to define a community. Seeking the opportunity for new parks or for varied public spaces will contribute to the overall livability of the community and assist in protecting the existing environment. A key consideration is to encourage and allow parks, open space, and trails to become the connective fabric between important places or destinations. Scale and size of these amenities should be determined by the availability of land and concentration of patrons. This may include the creation and identification of "mini -parks" or similar facilities that are designed to be integral to and a part of the (re)development of the area See Figure 24). Figure 24: Public Spaces Examples COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING STUDY Increasing buffer requirements or enhancing the landscaping are also tools that can be used as a means of enriching the pedestrian environment and enhancing the general aesthetics of the community. Landscaping within the public realm may include permanent above grade planters, moveable pots and planters, and or hanging planters in addition to tree wells and planting strips. There should also be the identification of opportunities to preserve ecological linkages, greenways, and habitat corridors. This will assist in preserving the environment and protecting vital habitats and local species that exist in the area. Greenway trails can also provide for recreational opportunities such as walking and bicycling as well as further connect the community to nature (See Figure 25). Figure 25: Greenway Trail Example CHAPTER 3: FUTURE CONDITIONS Greenway trails and linkages can be incorporated into the overall design of the project area (See Map 13). This includes in future roadway improvements that occur (See Figure 26). Providing these linkages will tie the community to the environment as well provide connections between existing and future commercial or mixed use developments. See Table 11 for a summary of recommendations in order to achieve the goal of providing and enhancing public spaces and green space.

Based on public input there is an increased concern regarding transportation, traffic, and safety in the study area. Some of public comments were more generalized in nature and may be applied to the transportation network in and around the study area. It may make sense to do larger area plan to address these issues that are influenced by and affect outside of study area. The County recognizes the economic benefits, enhanced quality of life, and improved sense of place through strategic transportation investments that promote the movement of people and goods within the study area. Based on the existing conditions analysis, Immokalee Rd, and Wilson Blvd, are operating better than the adopted LOS standards while Randall Blvd, is operating at the adopted LOS standard. FDOT finished the PD&E study for the intersection of Immokalee Rd. and Randall Blvd, in December 2020 (See Figure 27). The study involved the evaluation of several intersection concepts to enhance traffic operations and safety conditions based on current and future travel demands. Since the PD&E is complete and accepted by FDOT, the project is now eligible to move to the next phase of development by the Transportation Engineering group. This project will help to address some of the public's concerns within the study area and improve safety at the intersection where mixed use development is encouraged. 70 COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING STUDY Figure 27: PD&E Study rt it N ----------------- I I � ' �T� qpSTAj.ON 5l F -RKET Source: FDOT FMAND 4R1PER MA KET PLAZA CHAPTER 3: FUTURE CONDITIONS 71 The County has also completed the Randall Boulevard and Oil Well Road Corridor Study (May 2019) to evaluate several corridor alternatives to enhance traffic operations and safety conditions based on current and future travel demands. On May 14, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners voted to approve the staff recommendation to expand Randall Blvd. (between 8th St. and Everglades Blvd.) to 6-lanes, Randall Blvd. (between Everglades Blvd. and Desoto. Blvd.) to for 4-lanes and expand Everglades Blvd. (between Oil Well Rd. and Randall Blvd.) to 4-lanes. This project is adjacent to the study area and will also help to address some of the public's current concerns regarding traffic. The study area is intended to serve as a key focus for future development and redevelopment consistent with its location along a strategic transportation corridor. Although this area is developing in a suburban development pattern and oriented towards vehicular movements, an alternative approach to transportation planning in the form of mobility enhancements may be more suitable in the future development of the area. It is recommended that as new development occurs that there is the planning for complete streets and a walkable and connected public realm that provides increased safety for pedestrians (See Figure 28). This includes providing opportunities to park once and walk and ensuring safe pedestrian connections. Increased mobility enhancements can be incorporated into future (re)development similar to the design principles approach for the proposed mixed use areas. Complete streets are designed for safe and comfortable travel for all users regardless of their age, ability, or mode of transportation. This design concept encourages a less auto -centric development pattern and may result in less automobile traffic as people have more mobility options. This approach may not be feasible for Immokalee Road specifically; however, similar to the form based code approach, this corridor could provide a higher level of detail to address multimodal needs and tie the transportation framework together. This will also assist in creating a balance between land use and transportation especially if design/form based code principles are adopted. There is also the opportunity with new development to add pedestrian scale lighting, add wider sidewalks, fill sidewalk gaps, restripe/add crosswalk markings, and construct streetscape improvements (See Figure 29). Providing for pedestrian connections that link between existing and future commercial or mixed use developments is important to ensure that there is the opportunity to park once and walk (See Map 14). Table 12 provides a summary of recommendations in order to achieve the goal of developing an interconnected multimodal transportation network. 72 COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING STUDY Sflwwka& cckcwd1Rw" Oadmod �`�� � s ��• ry � - c ifs �w # IF b � i ir• t y "4.• S ��L oTwIt. .0"M Im Figure29: Walkability Examples ...........................................................

Water And Wastewater The CCWSD has potable water and wastewater services available to the study area. The CCWSD has published the "2014 Water, Wastewater, Irrigation, Quality Water and Bulk Water Master Plan/CIP Plan*',' which includes build -out and capital improvements over a 20-year planning period. Potable Water Potable water service is available via a 36" ductile iron watermain that runs along the north and west sides of Immokalee Road. The interconnected NCRWTP and SCRWTP have a firm operating capacity of 48 MGD with a permitted capacity of 52 MGD, The required treatment capacity for the 2021 Fiscal Year is 35.0 MGD. Figure 30 shows two potential demand scenarios for the study area. Scenario #1 takes into consideration the existing land use capacity per the build out analysis identified previously in Table 9, Understanding that there is inherently different development identified and approved an alternative (interim) analysis was performed as Scenario #2 to identify if a hypothetical short-term growth pattern assuming portions of those projects could be accommodated. An alternative scenario (i.e. varying residential and non-residential development) can be performed as may be requested by the County. The purpose of this exercise is to demonstrate two potential potable water demands for the study area. Note; Demands were based off the F.A.C. 64E-6.008 System Size Determinations and the CCWSD LOS standards. In addition, the Max Daily Demand (MDD) represents the max daily water usage on any given day, which is the Average Annual Daily Demand (AADD) multiplied by 1.35 (per the 2014 master plan). Given the size of the existing water main and the capacity of the interconnected WTP's, the existing infrastructure will be able to serve the study area in both scenarios. There appears to be sufficient capacity within the existing system. Directional boring under Immokalee Road may be necessary to provide potable water service to properties on the south side of Immokalee Road, Additionally, the design of potable water distribution systems should be looped to avoid dead ends, which can create water quality and reliability issues for users. This will also improve water pressure.

These rules are governed by the SFWMD in Collier County. The objective through the permitting process is to show that the site will meet water resource requirements as set forth by the SWERP. Typically, this will require developments to provide stormwater detention/retention facilities to comply with water quality/quantity regulations. The stormwater facilities limit the stormwater discharges to either pre -development rates or to a predetermined rate based on large basin drainage studies. Limiting post -development discharge reduces impacts on the existing local and regional drainage conveyances maintaining the current level of service. Normally it is anticipated that a project site can expect approximately 10-20% of the site area to be dedicated to stormwater management in the form of dry and/or wet retention and detention. Optional "vault" storage can be considered in areas where very high land values warrant the costs of vault storage. It is not anticipated that land values in the study area will warrant this type of system. Developers in the study area may consider permitting for a master stormwater management system, which may reduce the amount of site acreage that sub -projects within a master developed area will need to set aside for stormwater management. An additional component that may be considered is Low Impact Development (LID) to improve stormwater management. LID is an innovative approach to stormwater management that incorporates various land planning and design practices to reduce impact to water quality from urban development. In general, the LID approach includes practices that; Encourage preservation of natural resources Allow development in a manner that helps mitigate potential environmental impacts Reduce cost of stormwater management systems Use a host of integrated management practices to reduce runoff Reduce pollutants into the environment 82 COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING STUDY LID's goal is to mimic a site's predevelopment hydrology by using design techniques that infiltrate, filter, store, evaporate, and detain runoff close to its source (See Figure 32). Techniques are based on the premise that stormwater management should not be seen as stormwater disposal. As an alternative to conveying, managing, and treating stormwater in large, costly end -of -pipe facilities located at the bottom of drainage areas, LID addresses stormwater through small, cost-effective landscape features. These landscape features, known as Integrated Management Practices (IMP), are the building blocks of LID. Almost all components of the urban environment have the potential to serve as an IMP. These components can include open space, rooftops, streetscapes, parking lots, sidewalks, and medians. LID is a versatile approach that can be applied equally well to new development and redevelopment projects within the project area. The project area should consider encouraging basic LID and related system components within new infrastructure projects and or retrofitting of existing areas. These types of improvements will further the community's water quality and foster overall improvements in the master stormwater system.

This Study identifies the land use tools and infrastructure necessary to support future development within the study area and provides generalized, guiding principles. The findings of this Study serve as a planning tool for the County to effectively coordinate land use and development. The recommendations made will support the expected growth and needs of the community in a sustainable way as the study area continues to develop. As Collier County moves toward implementation, it is important to remember the following; Perseverance will be necessary as some improvements will take months, if not years to advance. The vision/plan can and will evolve over time. The future addition or subtraction of policies or projects should not be viewed as a compromise of the vision, but rather its natural evolution in response to changing conditions and challenges. COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING STUDY PATH TO SUCCESS Ensuring success requires focus, leadership, and resources. These three traits benefit from deliberate structure. When considering how to take action, the community should consider the following; Identify a Champion: Each action item and recommendation will require a champion —someone who owns the responsibility for achieving the stated goal. These champions should be empowered with the ability to mobilize partners and align resources specific to the action's needs. The County should assign each action item in the strategy board with an appropriate champion. Measure Progress: The best way to maintain momentum is to monitor progress on a regular basis, Regular status reports should identify completed task, ongoing work, and future programming as well as highlight where progress is being made and tasks that require more attention. Development of a strategy board could provide a tool to evaluate progress with annual reports to check progress on action items and consistency with the study area recommendations. Embrace Accountability: The County should expect to hold each other accountable. The recommendations of this study will not be achieved overnight. Some tasks will come easy and will be achieved in short order. Other tasks will be a challenge, take more time, and require persistence and flexibility. Failure to achieve a certain task in the timeframe reflected should not be viewed as a failure but rather an acknowledgment for the need to reassess the focus, leadership, and resources.
