Narrow list of permitted and conditional uses. Density was reduced from 1 DU/5 acres to 1 DU/40 acres. TDR program developed. Currently Sending Landowners may generate up to 4 TDRs per 5 acres Receiving Lands Identified as most appropriate for development - lesser degree of environmental significance - disturbed through development, or previous or existing agricultural operations. TDRs from Sending Lands may be “transferred” to Receiving areas. Base density 1) DU/5 acres per five (5) acres. Maximum (non-Village) density (with TDRs) is 1 DU/acre, with a minimum project size of 40 contiguous acres. Rural Villages density is up to 3 DUs/acre (with TDRs) per acre. No Villages Approved to date. Neutral Pretty much the same as existed prior to RFMUD – 1 DU per 5 acres. Ag uses allowed; cluster residential development also permitted. 5 Site is predominantly impacted by mining and agricultural activities. 1973 Aerial June 2019 Aerial 6 IRRVO RFMUD Overlay Designations Neutral 210.78 acres Receiving: 1,998 acres Sending: : 578.49 acres 7  Livingston Professional Center, LLC Comparable Use Determination Comparable Use IRRVO GMPA Transmittal Language IMMOKALEE ROAD RURAL VILLAGE OVERLAY (IRRVO) The Immokalee Road Rural Village Overlay (IRRVO) is located within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use Subdistrict (RFMUD) and is depicted on the Future Land Use Map Series.

Policy 6.1.7: [re-numbered to reflect merger of Ordinance No. 2002-32 and 2002-54] The County shall require native vegetation to be incorporated into landscape designs in order to promote the preservation of native plant communities and to encourage water conservation. This shall be accomplished by: (1) Providing incentives for retaining existing native vegetation in landscaped areas; (2) Establishing minimum native vegetation requirements for new landscaping; and, (3) Wet detention ponds within the Urban Designated area shall have a littoral shelf with an area equal to 2.50% of the ponds surface area measured at the control elevation and be planted with native aquatic vegetation. Wet detention ponds within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, shall have a littoral shelf with an area equal to 30% of the ponds surface area measured at the control elevation and be planted with native aquatic vegetation. Within the Immokalee Road Rural Village Overlay, the total littoral planting shelf area may be reduced to 15% of the wet detention pond surface area within the Receiving lands, if provided in one or more larger aggregated littoral planting areas, thus providing greater habitat value. The excavation lake located in the Neutral Land shall not be required to provide littoral shelves, except as may be necessary to meet the mine reclamation requirement.   20 Questions 21 Collier County Hearing Examiner (10-8-2020) 22 23 24  Livingston Professional Center, LLC Comparable Use Determination Comparable Use Collier County Hearing Examiner (10-8-2020) 25 Collier County Hearing Examiner (10-8-2020) 26 IRRVO GMPA Transmittal 2045 LRTP Financially Feasible 27 Staff recommendation of approval (we are in agreement with staff changes); CPCC unanimous recommendation of approval with the following conditions: Prior to Adoption hearings, finalize DCA; Include staff recommended change to GMPA Language; Address the concerns of Florida Wildlife Federation regarding wildlife crossings and human-wildlife conflicts We are continuing to work with Brad Cornell (Audubon of the Western Everglades and Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary) and Meredith Budd (Florida Wildlife Federation) regarding farm field restoration, littoral planting zone design, and in Sending, and wildlife crossings. 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39
