It is the intent and purpose of this section to permit the placement of principal structures, except single-family, two-family and duplex dwelling units, at the bulkhead line or shoreline where such placement at the water's edge can enhance the character of waterfront development without detriment to adjoining or nearby properties or without damage to a particular environmental situation. The provisions of this section have their greatest potential application in planning for the use of tidewater inlands or areas of the county of such size and location that the use of this provision will meet its intent and purpose. If the provisions of this section are met, such provisions govern regardless of any requirement for waterfront yards in the zoning district involved. In those cases where the coastal control line is involved, the coastal construction control line shall apply. B. Principal structures shall not be erected waterward under this section beyond the following limits for the situations outlined: 1. For waterfront lands along which a bulkhead line has been established, buildings may be erected out to, but not beyond, the bulkhead line. 2. For waterfront lands along which an offshore building limit has been established by the BCC, buildings may be erected out to, but not beyond, the building limit line. 3. For waterfront lands along which neither a bulkhead nor a building limit line has been established, buildings may be erected out to, but not beyond, the shoreline, as that shoreline exists prior to development and construction. C. Since this section applies only to the placement of structures in waterfront yards, there shall be no use permitted under this section which is not permitted or permissible in the district involved. A structure approved under this section, however, may be attached to or made an integral part of a boathouse or dock, if such boathouse or dock is permitted or permissible in the district involved. 4.02.06 Standards for Development within the Airport Overlay (APO) A. Definitions.The definitions of Chapter 333, ES,Airport Zoning, as amended, shall be applicable to the terms of this section, unless the text and/or context of this section requires otherwise. B. There are hereby created and established certain surfaces,which include all of the land lying beneath the approach,transitional,primary, horizontal,and conical surfaces,and other surfaces upon which an obstruction may be established as they apply to public-use airports.The surfaces are shown on the Naples Municipal, Marco Island Executive, Everglades City, and Immokalee Regional Airport zoning maps, contained within Appendix D of the LDC.An area located in more than one of the described surfaces is subject to the most restrictive surface standard. C. Primary surface.An area longitudinally aligned along the runway centerline, extending 200 feet beyond each end of the runway with the width so specified for each runway for the most precise approach existing or planned for either end of the runway.

Comments and recommendations from FDOT-ASO, the affected airport(s), aviation operations and safety experts, where applicable. 4. Supplemental standards for the development of airspace obstructions: a. The owner of the obstruction will be required to install, operate, and maintain thereon and at their own expense, obstruction marking and lighting in conformance with the specific standards established by the FAA, including, but not limited to, FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1, as may be amended. 5. The County Manager or designee shall not issue an airspace obstruction approval where the FAA has reviewed the proposed and determined its construction or alteration would exceed obstruction standards contained in 14 CFR Part 77 and result in a hazard to air navigation. N. Airport land use restrictions.Notwithstanding any other provision of this LDC, no use may be made of land or water within any surfaces established by this LDC in such a manner as to interfere with the operation of an airborne aircraft.The following special requirements shall apply to each permitted use: 1. All lights or illumination used in conjunction with street, parking, signs, or use of land or structures shall be arranged and operated in such a manner that it is not misleading to pilots or dangerous to aircraft operating to and from a public use airport or in the vicinity thereof. 2. All flood lights, spot lights, or any type of pulsating, flashing, rotating, or oscillating light shall be modified or prohibited if determined by the executive director who has authority over that public airport to be a possible risk to safety of aircraft operation. Supp.No.23 LDC4:20 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.02.06 N.3. 4.02.06 0.2. 3. No operations of any type shall produce smoke, glare, or other visual impairment to pilots within three (3) miles of any usable runway of a public airport. 4. No operations of any type shall produce electronic interference with navigation signals or radio communication between the airport and aircraft, or other air traffic control facility. 5. Land within runway protection zones (formerly runway clear zones) shall be prohibited from use for high density residential use, schools, hospitals, storage of explosives, or flammable material, assemblage of large groups of people or any other use that could produce a major catastrophe as a result of an aircraft crash. 6. New landfills shall be prohibited and existing landfills shall be restricted within the following areas: a.

O. Naples Municipal Airport noise zones, land use restrictions, sound level requirements (SLR) for buildings or structures, and SLR design requirements. 1. The purpose of this section is to establish standards for land use and for sound level reduction requirements with respect to exterior noise resulting from the legal and normal operations at the airports within Collier County.This section establishes noise zones of differing intensities and land use in the vicinity of the Naples Municipal Airport, as identified in the most recent Naples Municipal Airport FAA Part 150 Study; establishes permitted land uses in the noise zones; establishes soundproofing requirements for residential development within the noise zones;and establishes notification procedures to prospective purchasers of real estate within the noise zones. 2. In addition to the prior three (3) noise zones, there is hereby created and established a fourth noise zone D;there are now noise zones A, B, C, and D.Such zones are shown on the Naples Municipal Airport noise zone map(s), as amended, which are incorporated and made a part Supp.No.23 LDC4:21 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.02.06 0.2. 4.02.06 0.5. herein and are described in LDC section 4.02.06 0.3. below. The noise zones contained herein are based on a projection of future aircraft operations at the Naples Municipal Airport. The purpose of these noise zones is to define and set forth specific regulations for all properties within the described areas. 3. Noise zone boundaries. a. Zone A. That area commencing at the outermost boundary of the airport and extending outward therefrom to a boundary indicated on the noise zone map as "B." The outer contour of noise zone A approximates a noise level of seventy-five (75) Ldn. b. Zone B. That area commencing at the boundary indicated on the noise zone map as the outer boundary of noise zone A and extending outward therefrom to the boundary indicated on the noise zone map as "C." The outer contour of noise zone B approximates a noise level of seventy (70) Ldn. c. Zone C. That area commencing at the boundary indicated on the noise zone map as the outer boundary of noise zone B and extending outward therefrom to the boundary indicated on the noise zone map as "D". The outer contour of noise zone C approximates a noise level of sixty-five (65) Ldn. d. Zone D. This new noise zone commences at the boundary indicated on the noise zone map as the outer boundary of noise zone C and extending outward therefrom to the furthermost boundary indicated on the noise zone map. The outer contour of noise zone D approximates a noise level of sixty(60) Ldn and is the Naples Municipal Airport noise zone (This area is referenced in the 1996 Naples Municipal Airport FAA Part 150 Study). 4. Where boundaries of a described noise zone are shown to extend over a portion, but not all, of a platted lot or unsubdivided property, the owner or owners of the entire property will be notified of potential noise impact in accordance with notice procedures set forth in Chapter 10. a. Where boundaries of a described noise zone are shown to extend over a portion, but not all of a platted lot or un-subdivided property, the owner or owners of the entire property will be notified of potential noise impact in accordance with notice procedures set forth in Chapter 10. b. Where boundaries of more than one (1)described noise zone are shown on a platted lot or unsubdivided property, provisions of the most restricted zone shall apply. 5. Land use restrictions. a. Permitted and restricted activities. All land uses shall be permitted in the noise zone pursuant to the applicable zoning district and as provided in the activities and/or land use guidance chart made a part hereof.Those activities and land uses not specifically listed in the land use guidance chart are permitted or restricted in the noise zones based on their similarity to noise tolerance as exhibited by the activities and land uses which are listed in the guidance chart. b. Nonconforming uses. The regulations prescribed by this section shall not be construed to require the sound conditioning or other changes or alteration of any Supp.No.23 LDC4:22 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.02.06 0.5. 4.02.06 0.6. preexisting structure not conforming to this part as of the effective date of this section or to otherwise interfere with the continuance of any such preexisting nonconform- ing use. Nothing herein contained shall require any such change in the construction of or alteration of a structure which has commenced construction prior to the effective date of this section and which is diligently pursued. 6. Sound level requirements (SLR) for buildings or structures. a. The provisions of these APO regulations shall apply to the construction, alteration, moving, demolition, repair, and use of any building or structure within unincorporated Collier County except work located primarily in a public right-of-way, on public utility towers, poles, and mechanical equipment not specifically regulated by these APO regulations. Additions, alterations, repairs, and changes of use in all buildings and structures shall comply with the provisions of these APO regulations. b. Buildings or structures constructed prior to the initial adoption of this amended section, to which additions, alteration, or repairs are made to the exterior walls and ceilings of rooms having one (1) or more exterior walls or ceilings shall be required to meet the SLR requirements of these APO regulations. c. Alterations or repairs which are nonstructural and do not affect the exterior walls or ceilings of an existing building or structure may be made with the same materials of which the building or structure is constructed and shall not be required to meet the SLR requirements. d. Buildings in existence at the time of the initial adoption of these APO regulations may have their existing use or occupancy continued if such use or occupancy was legal at the time of the initial adoption of these APO regulations provided such continued use is not dangerous to life. A change in the use of a structure may require additional sound level reduction. e. Buildings or structures moved into or within the vicinity of the established noise zone must comply with applicable provisions of these APO regulations. f. The County Manager or designee may approve any type construction that complies with the SLR requirements of the activities and/or land use guidance chart(appendix III of Appendix D).The SLR requirements specified in appendix III of Appendix D shall be achieved by the use of assemblies having the South Transmission Class Ratings specified in table 403.2, Minimum Sound Transmission of Assemblies, of the Southern Building Code Congress International, Inc., Standard for Sound Control, SSTD 8-87,incorporated herein and adopted by reference as appendix IV of appendix D. g. The SLR requirements of the land use guidance chart at appendix Ill of Appendix D may be achieved by any suitable combination of building design, choice of building materials, and execution of construction details in accordance with established architectural and acoustical principles. The SLR requirements shall apply to the `.- exterior walls and ceilings only of all rooms having one (1) or more exterior walls or Supp.No.23 LDC4:23 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.02.06 0.6. 4.02.07 ceilings. Regulations to achieve the SLR requirements specified in appendix III of Appendix D, shall be found in appendix IV of Appendix D and shall be used by the County Manager or designee during the building plan review process. h. No building or structure for which an SLR 25, SLR 30, or SLR 35 is required by appendix III of Appendix D may be constructed, altered, moved, demolished, or repaired unless and until a building permit has been issued.No such permit shall be issued unless and until the requirements contained in appendix III of Appendix D are met as indicated by plans and specifications for the building or structure.Such plans and specifications shall result in a sound level reduction for the applicable exterior walls and ceilings only of room(s) having one (1) or more exterior walls or ceilings, at least as great as the SLR value specified in appendix III of Appendix D for the particular usage involved.These plans and specifications shall be reviewed during the building plan review process in accordance with the sound transmission ratings specified in table 403.2 of appendix IV of Appendix D.

When a 5 acre parcel in Golden Gate Estates is subdivided into 2 lots,where 1 of the lots is not on the existing right-of-way,the owner may create an access easement to and through the parcel which is not on the right-of-way.The easement must be at least 20 feet in width, and extend at least 150 feet into the otherwise landlocked lot.The easement shall provide for access to the lot, and satisfy the frontage requirement. (Ord. No.06-07, § 3.i;Ord. No. 13-56, § 3.J) 4.03.04 Lot Line Adjustment and Lot Split A. Generally. Only lot line adjustments or lot split requests meeting the applicable land development regulations, including the minimum lot area and lot dimensions for the existing zoning district, may be approved.The approval does not become effective until the lot line adjustment or lot split is recorded with the Clerk of Courts in the Official Records of Collier County, Florida. B. Lot Line Adjustment. An adjustment of a lot line between contiguous lots or parcels which may be platted or unplatted and which are under separate ownership or the same ownership shall be exempt from this section if all of the following conditions are met.The lot line adjustment shall be recorded with the Clerk of Courts within 12 months of approval by the County Manager or designee,and a copy of the recorded document shall be provided to the Growth Management Department. 1. It is demonstrated that the request is to correct an engineering or surveying error in a recorded plat or is to permit an insubstantial boundary change between adjacent parcels;and 2. Both landowners whose lot lines are being adjusted provide written consent to the lot line adjustment;and 3. Instrument(s) evidencing the lot line adjustment shall be filed in the official records of Collier County, Florida, upon approval, and shall indicate that the result of the lot line adjustment will meet the standards of, and conforms to, the requirements of this LDC, including the dimen- sional requirements of the zoning district and the subdivision in which the lots are located. However, in cases of an existing nonconforming lot of record,the adjustment shall not increase the nonconformity of the lot; and 4. It is demonstrated that the lot line adjustment will not affect the development rights or permitted density or intensity of use of the affected lots by providing the opportunity to create a new lot(s) for resale or development. C. Lot Split.All lots must have frontage on a public or private right-of-way,with the exception of one division of a single platted lot or otherwise established lot of record into two lots.Any such lot split may utilize an access easement to satisfy access, and frontage requirements for the lot which would not otherwise have street frontage. 1. The width of such access easement may not be less than 12 feet and may be required to be wider at the discretion of Collier County staff, to accommodate safe access and turning movements, stormwater drainage pipes and the like.Access easement standards for Golden Gate Estates lot divisions shall be per LDC section 4.03.06. Supp.No.17 LDC4:72.20.5 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.03.04 C.2. 4.03.05 B. 2. The number of access points to a public right-of-way shall not be increased as a result of the lot split if, in the opinion of the county staff, safe and sufficient access may be accomplished with fewer access points than existed prior to the proposed lot split. 3. The access easement will create a front yard for setback purposes for all lots abutting the access easement. In cases where access is presently provided by an access easement to existing lots of record in any zoning district which are not part of a recorded or unrecorded subdivision,this easement will serve to satisfy access and frontage requirements for those lots, and yards abutting the easement will be considered front yards for setback purposes. 4. The further split or division of a lot, parcel, or any lot of record into two proposed parcels must be reviewed and approved by the County prior to any subsequent development orders or development permits issued or approved. Evidence of the County approved lot split shall be provided to the Property Appraiser or Clerk of Courts for their consideration and record- keeping.The lot split shall be recorded with the Clerk of Courts within 12 months of approval by the County Manager or designee,and a copy of the recorded document shall be provided to the Growth Management Department. a. Appropriate access to the resulting parcels from the public road network shall be demonstrated, and where necessary, may require appropriate easements for joint or cross access to be recorded before an approved lot split becomes effective. D. The Administrative Code shall establish the application process and submittal requirements to obtain a lot line adjustment or lot split. (Ord. No. 13-56, § 3.K;Ord. No. 18-18, § 3.L) 4.03.05 Subdivision Design Requirements A. Blocks.The length, width and shape of blocks shall be determined with due regard to: 1.

Landscape Code.The purpose and intent of the landscape code is to: a. Promote the health, safety, and welfare of residents of Collier County by establishing minimum uniform standards for the installation and maintenance of landscaping; b. Improve the aesthetic appearance of commercial, industrial, and residential develop- ments through the requirement of minimum landscaping in ways that harmonize the natural and built environment; c. Promote preservation and planting of native plants and plant communities; d. Provide physical and psychological benefits to persons through landscaping by reduc- ing noise and glare; e. Screen and buffer the harsher visual aspects of urban development; f. Improve environmental quality by reducing and reversing air, noise, heat, and chemical pollution through the preservation of canopy trees and the creation of shade and microclimate; g. Reduce heat gain in or on buildings or paved areas through the filtering capacity of trees and vegetation;and h. Promote water conservation by encouraging the use of native and drought-tolerant vegetation and properly zoned irrigation system through xeriscape. 2. Buffering and Screening.The purpose and intent of establishing landscape buffering and screening is to: a. Reduce the potential incompatibility of adjacent land uses; b. Conserve natural resources and maintain open space; c. Protect established residential neighborhoods, and enhance community identity; d. Improve the aesthetic appearance of commercial, industrial, and residential develop- ments through the requirement of minimum landscaping in ways that harmonize the natural and built environment; e. Promote preservation and planting of native plants and plant communities; f. Provide physical and psychological benefits to persons through landscaping by reduc- ing noise and glare; g. Screen and buffer the harsher visual aspects of urban development; Supp.No.15 LDC4:89 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.06.01 A.2. 4.06.01 C.1. h. Improve environmental quality by reducing and reversing air, noise, heat, and chemical pollution through the preservation of canopy trees and the creation of shade and microclimate; i. Reduce heat gain in or on buildings or paved areas through the filtering capacity of trees and vegetation;and j. Promote water conservation by encouraging the use of native and drought-tolerant vegetation and properly zoned irrigation systems through xeriscape. k. In order to minimize negative effects between adjacent land uses, this section promotes the use of landscape buffers and screens to eliminate or minimize potential nuisances such as dirt, litter, noise, lights, unsightly buildings and structures, and off-street parking and loading areas.Additionally,buffers and screens provide spacing and landscaping to reduce potentially adverse impacts of noise, odor, or lighting. Buffering refers to a strip of land separating adjacent land uses, whereas screening refers to fences, walls, berms, trees, shrubs, or a combination of these screening devices on the buffer strip. B. Effect of the Collier County Streetscape Master Plan. "Collier County Streetscape Master Plan", "Construction Standards Handbook for Work Within the Public rights-of-way Collier County, Florida" and the"Golden Gate Community Roadways Beautification Master Plan."street corridors identified in Section 2 and Figure E.1 of the"Collier County Streetscape Master Plan,"the"Construction Standards Handbook for Work Within the Public Rights-of- Way Collier County, Florida" and the "Golden Gate Community Roadways Beautification Master Plan", including areas within the right-of-way and on required buffers adjacent to the right-of-way, shall adhere to the requirements of these documents. Notwithstanding the above,for required landscape buffers adjacent to any right-of-way,the require- ments of Section 2 and Figure E.1 of the "Collier County Streetscape Master Plan", the "Construction Standards Handbook for Work Within the Public Rights-of Way Collier County, Florida"and the"Golden Gate Community Roadways Beautification Master Plan" shall apply at the time of issuance of any related subsequent development order including construction plans attendant to the approval of a final plat and/or a final site development plan.Where the application of said Master Plan standards and requirements is questioned, an official interpretation of the County Manager or his designee pursuant to section 1.06.01 of the Collier County Land development Code may be requested. Further, the interpretation of the County Manager or his designee may be appealed to the board of zoning appeals as prescribed by section 10.02.02 of the Land development Code. C. Relationship to Subdivision Regulations 1. Plantings, trees, and grass.All rights-of-way and easements for streets, avenues, roads, drives,and the like shall be planted with trees,grass or other suitable vegetation on both sides in accordance with the specifications, limitations, procedures, types and intervals set forth in the appropriate county regulations and requirements, including but not limited to this section 4.06.00 and the right-of-way Construction Handbook,Collier County Ordinance No.82-91,as amended [superseded by ordinance found in Code ch. 110, art. II].All unpaved areas within rights-of-way shall be stabilized by seed or sodding of cultivated grass species suitable to the area.The sodding of a one-foot-wide strip along the back of curb or edge of pavement shall be mandatory for all roadway construction.The flow line of all swale sections approved for use by the County Manager or his designee shall also be sodded as required for erosion control.

All existing and future public and private rights-of-way that are designed parallel to each other or to the boundary of a subdivision or development,with no building lots separating them from other rights-of-way or the project boundary, shall be separated by a landscape buffer, pursuant to this section 4.06.00.The buffer area in these cases shall be separately designated on the final subdivision plat as a tract or easement and shall be dedicated on the final subdivision plat cover sheet to the appropriate property owners'association or like entity for operation, maintenance and upkeep purposes. D. Landscaping with Sight Design Triangles. 1. Safe sight distance triangles at intersection and access points. (Refer to Figure 4.06.01 D., Sight Distance Triangles).Where a driveway/access way intersects a right-of-way or when a property abuts the intersection of two or more rights-of-way, a minimum safe sight distance triangular area shall be established.Within this area, vegetation shall be planted and main- tained in a way that provides unobstructed visibility at a level between 30 inches and 8 feet above the crown of the adjacent roadway.Landscaping shall be located in accordance with the roadside recovery area provisions of the State of Florida Department of Transportation's Manual of Uniform Minimum Standards for Design, Construction, and Maintenance of streets and Highways (DOT Green Book) where appropriate. Posts for illuminating fixtures, traffic control,and street name signs shall also be permitted,so long as the sign or equipment is not within the prescribed clear space. Where an accessway enters a right-of-way, two safe distance triangles shall be created diagonally across from each other on both sides of the accessway.Two sides of the triangle shall extend 10 feet each way from the point of intersection from the edge of pavement and the right-of-way line.The third side of the triangle shall be a line connecting the ends of the other 2 sides.

The developer shall comply with all of the provisions of the applicable landscape requirements and this section 4.06.00 at the time of subdivision or development approval or when applicable. E. Landscaping Plans Required. 1. Landscape summary.A landscape summary in matrix form which shall include: a. Graphic symbol to indicate each type of plant material. b. Botanical name. c. Common name. d. Total number of each type of plant material. e. Height and spread of each type of plant material. f. Spacing of each type of plant material. 2. Illustrative information. Illustrative information consisting of the following shall be accurately depicted on the landscape plan: a. The location, configuration and arrangement of all proposed buildings, internal streets and parking areas as reflected on the site plan. b. The location and dimensions of all proposed landscaped areas with appropriate graphic symbols including existing trees that are being credited toward the development's landscaping requirements. c. Location and configuration of all special or textured paving areas. d. Provisions for site irrigation. e. Any additional relevant information as may be required by the planning services director. 3. The landscape architect must inspect and certify that all open space area, landscaping and the irrigation system are in substantial compliance with the landscape and irrigation plans approved as part of the development order. Insubstantial changes to an approved landscape plan shall be approved through the insubstantial change process. (Ord. No. 05-27, § 3.T; Ord. No. 10-23, § 3.Y) 4.06.02 Buffer Requirements A. Applicability of buffer requirements.The buffering and screening shown in table 2.4 below shall be required under this section and shall apply to all new development. Existing landscaping which does not comply with the provisions of this section shall be brought into conformity to the maximum extent possible when:the vehicular use area is altered or expanded (except for restriping of lots/drives),the building square footage is changed, or there has been a discontinuance of use for a period of 1 year or more and a request for an occupational license to resume business is made.For projects subject to architectural design standards, see LDC section 5.05.08 for related provisions. Supp.No.21 LDC4:93 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.06.02 A. 4.06.02 B. Subdivisions or Developments shall be buffered for the protection of property owners from land uses as required pursuant to this section 4.06.00. Buffers shall not inhibit pedestrian circulation between adjacent commercial land uses.Buffers shall be installed during construction as follows and in accordance with this section 4.06.00: 1. To separate residential developments from commercial,community use, industrial and public use developments and adjacent expressways, arterials and railroad rights-of-way, except where such expressway, arterial, or railroad right-of-way abuts a golf course. 2. To separate commercial, community use, industrial and public use developments from residential developments. 3. To separate subdivisions of residential property that do not result in the submittal of a site development plan pursuant to the provisions of section 10.02.03 from other residential properties. Separation shall be created with a landscape buffer strip which is designed and constructed in compliance with the provisions of this section 4.06.00. Such buffer strip(s) shall be shown and designated on the final plat as a tract of easement and shall not be located within any public or private right-of-way.The ability to locate buffer(s)within a platted or recorded easement shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of this section 4.06.00. buffers adjacent to protected/preserve areas shall conform to the requirements established by the agency requiring such buffer. Landscape buffers,when required by this Code, this section 4.06.00, or other county regulation shall be in addition to the required right-of-way width and shall be designated as a separate buffer tract or easement on the final subdivision plat.The minimum buffer width shall be in conformance with this section 4.06.00.In no case shall the required buffer be constructed to reduce cross-corner or stopping sight distances, or safe pedestrian passage. All buffer tracts or easements shall be owned and maintained by a property owner's association or other similar entity and shall be so dedicated on the final subdivision plat. B. Methods of determining buffers.Where a property adjacent to the proposed use is:(1) undeveloped, (2) undeveloped but permitted without the required buffering and screening required pursuant to this Code, or (3) developed without the buffering and screening required pursuant to this Code, the proposed use shall be required to install the more opaque buffer as provided for in table 2.4.Where property adjacent to the proposed use has provided the more opaque buffer as provided for in table 2.4, the proposed use shall install a type A buffer. Where the incorporation of existing native vegetation in landscape buffers is determined as being equivalent to or in excess of the intent of this Code, the planning services director may waive the planting requirements of this section. Buffering and landscaping between similar residential land uses may be incorporated into the yards of individual lots or tracts without the mandatory creation of separate tracts. If buffering and landscaping is to be located on a lot,it shall be shown as an easement for buffering and landscaping. The buffering and screening provisions of this Code shall be applicable at the time of planned unit development (PUD), preliminary subdivision plat (PSP), or site development plan (SDP) review, Supp.No.21 LDC4:94 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.06.02 B. 4.06.02 B. with the installation of the buffering and screening required pursuant to LDC section 4.06.05 H. If the applicant chooses to forego the optional PSP process, then signed and sealed landscape plans will be Supp.No.21 LDC4:94.1 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.06.02 B. 4.06.02 C.4. required on the final subdivision plat.Where a more intensive land use is developed contiguous to a property within a similar zoning district, the planning services director may require buffering and screening the same as for the higher intensity uses between those uses. Landscape buffering and screening standards within any planned unit development shall conform to the minimum buffering and screening standards of the zoning district to which it most closely resembles.The planning services director may approve alternative landscape buffering and screening standards when such alternative standards have been determined by use of professional acceptable standards to be equivalent to or in excess of the intent of this Code. C. Types of buffers.Within a required buffer strip,the following types of buffers shall be used based on the matrix in table 2.4.(See Figure 4.06.02.C-1) 1. Type A Buffer: Ten-foot-wide landscape buffer with trees spaced no more than 30 feet on center.When a Type A buffer is located within a residential PUD and adjacent to a lake, the required trees may be clustered on common property lines to provide a view of the lake. Clustered tree plantings shall not exceed 60 feet between clusters. 2. Type B Buffer: Fifteen-foot-wide,80 percent opaque within one year landscape buffer six feet in height,which may include a wall,fence,hedge,berm or combination thereof,including trees spaced no more than 25 feet on center.When planting a hedge, it shall be a minimum of ten gallon plants five feet in height,three feet in spread and spaced a maximum four feet on center at planting.When a Type B buffer is located within a residential PUD and adjacent to a lake,the required plant materials may be clustered to provide views.Clustered tree plantings shall not exceed 60 feet between clusters and the clustered hedge plantings can be provided as a double row of shrubs that are a minimum of 30 inches in height. When the adjacent lake exceeds 1,500 feet in width the hedge planting shall not be required.When a community facility is located within a residential PUD and abuts a residential unit, a Type B buffer shall be required.When a fence or wall is used within the buffer a minimum of 50 percent of the trees and hedge plantings shall be located on the residential side of the fence or wall. 3. Type C Buffer: 20-foot-wide, opaque within one year, landscape buffer with a six-foot wall, fence, hedge, or berm, or combination thereof and two staggered rows of trees spaced no more than 30 feet on center. Projects located within the Golden Gate Neighborhood center district shall be exempt from the right-of-way requirement of a six-foot wall, fence, hedge, berm or combination thereof.These projects shall provide a meandering Type D landscape buffer hedge. In addition, a minimum of 50 percent of the 25-foot wide buffer area shall be composed of a meandering bed of shrubs and ground covers other than grass. 4. Type D Buffer:A landscape buffer shall be required adjacent to any road right-of-way external to the development project and adjacent to any primary access roads internal to a commer- cial development.Said landscape buffer shall be consistent with the provisions of the Collier County Streetscape Master Plan, which is incorporated by reference herein. The minimum width of the perimeter landscape buffer shall vary according to the ultimate width of the abutting right-of-way.Where the ultimate width of the right-of-way is zero to 99 feet, the corresponding landscape buffer shall measure at least ten feet in width.Where the ultimate width of the right-of-way is 100 or more feet, the corresponding landscape buffer shall measure at least 15 feet in width.Developments of 15 acres or more and developments within Supp.No.15 LDC4:95 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.06.02 C.4. 4.06.02 C.4. an activity center shall provide a perimeter landscape buffer of at least 20 feet in width regardless of the width of the right-of-way.Activity center right-of-way buffer width require- ments shall not be applicable to roadways internal to the development. a. Trees shall be spaced no more than 30 feet on center in the landscape buffer abutting a right-of-way or primary access road internal to a commercial develop- ment. b. A continuous 3 gallon double row hedge spaced 3 feet on center of at least 24 inches in height at the time of planting and attaining a minimum of 30 inches in height in one year shall be required in the landscape buffer where vehicular areas are adjacent to the road right-of-way, pursuant to LDC section 4.06.05 D.4. c. Where a fence or wall fronts an arterial or collector road as described by the transportation circulation element of the growth management plan, a continuous 3 gallon single row hedge a minimum of 24 inches in height spaced 3 feet on center,shall be planted along the right-of-way side of the fence.The required trees shall be located on the side of the fence facing the right-of-way.Every effort shall be made to undulate the wall and landscaping design incorporating trees,shrubs,and ground cover into the design.It is not the intent of this requirement to obscure from view decorative elements such as emblems, tile, molding and wrought iron. d. The remaining area of the required landscape buffer must contain only existing native vegetation,grass,ground cover,or other landscape treatment.Every effort should be made to preserve, retain and incorporate the existing native vegetation in these areas. e. A signage visibility triangle may be created for non-residential on-premises signs located as shown in Figure 4.06.02.C-2 for Type D buffers that are 20 feet or greater in width.The line of visibility shall be no greater than 30 linear feet along road right-of- way line.Within the visibility triangle,shrubs and hedges shall be required pursuant to LDC section 4.06.05.D.4, except that hedges, shrubs, or ground cover located within the signage visibility triangle shall be maintained at a maximum plant height of 24 inches.Within the visibility triangle, no more than one required canopy tree may be exempted from the Type D buffer requirements.

This overlay district classification will be used for those lands within the RLSA District that are designated by the BCC as SRAs. The placement of this designation shall be governed by the procedures as prescribed in the RLSA District Regulations. 4.08.03 Establishment of land uses allowed in the RLSA District. Land uses allowed within the RLSA District are of two types: those allowed in the baseline standards prior to designation of SSAs and SRAs, and; those uses provided for in SSAs and SRAs after designation. The underlying land uses allowed within the RLSA District are included in the baseline standards. Upon designation of SSAs and SRAs pursuant to the RLSA District Regulations, the land uses allowed shall be as provided in sections 4.08.06 and 4.08.07, respectively. 4.08.04 Implementation of Stewardship Credits A. Establishment of a Stewardship Credit Database. As part of the initial implementation of the RLSA Overlay, the County Manager or designee shall cause to be developed a Stewardship Credit Database to track the generation (by SSAs)and consumption (by SRAs)of Stewardship Credits within the RLSA District.The database shall be in an electronic form that can be linked to the RLSA Overlay Map and can readily produce reports that will afford convenient access to the data by the public.The database shall be updated upon approval of an SSA or SRA Designation Application and Credit Agreement. B. Authorization to Establish a Stewardship Credit Trust. As part of the implementation of the RLSA Overlay, the County may elect to acquire Credits through a publicly funded program. Should the County pursue this option, the County shall establish a Stewardship Credit Trust to receive and hold Credits until such time as they are sold,transferred or otherwise used to implement uses within SRAs. Nothing herein shall preclude the County from permanently "retiring" those credits received or held. C. Density. Except as provided in herein, there shall be no change to the underlying density and intensity of permitted uses of land within the RLSA District, as set forth in the Baseline Standards, until a property owner elects to utilize the provisions of the Stewardship Credit System pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.08.04. No part of the Stewardship Credit System shall be imposed upon a property owner without that owner's written consent. It is the intent of the RLSA District Regulations that a property owner will be compensated consistent with Policy 3.8 of the RLSA Overlay for the voluntary stewardship and protection of important agricultural and natural resources. The Baseline Standards will remain in effect for all land not subject to the transfer or receipt of Stewardship Credits. D. Creation of Stewardship Credits/General. Stewardship Credits (Credits) may be created from any lands within the RLSA District from which one or more Land Use Layers are removed. These lands .�. will be identified as SSAs. All privately owned lands within the RLSA District are candidates for designation as an SSA. Land becomes designated as an SSA upon petition by the property owner seeking such designation as outlined herein. A Stewardship Agreement shall be developed that LDC4:134 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.08.04 D. 4.08.05 A. identifies those land uses,which have been removed. Once land is designated as an SSA and Credits or other compensation is granted to the owner, no increase in density or additional uses that are not expressly identified in the Stewardship Agreement shall be allowed on such property. E. Transfer of Stewardship Credits/General. Credits can be transferred only to lands within the RLSA District that meet the defined suitability criteria and standards set forth in Section 4.08.07 A.1.and that have been designated as SRAs. The procedures for the establishment and transfer of Credits and SRA designation are set forth herein. Stewardship Credits will be exchanged for additional residential or non-residential entitlements in an SRA on a per acre basis. SRA density and intensity will thereafter differ from the Baseline Standards. F. Allocation of Stewardship Credits/General. Stewardship Credits generated from one SSA may be allocated to one or more SRAs, and an SRA may receive Stewardship Credits generated from one or more SSAs. G. Five Year Comprehensive Review. 1. Many of the tools, techniques, and strategies of the RLSA Overlay are new, innovative, and incentive-based and have yet to be tested in actual implementation. Consequently, by June 2008 and at such subsequent times as deemed appropriate by the BCC, the County shall prepare and submit to DCA for review a comprehensive analysis of the RLSA Overlay to assess the participation and effectiveness of the RLSA Overlay implementation in meeting the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the RLSA Overlay by utilizing the measures of review delineated in Policy 1.22. The County shall encourage public participation in the review process through publicly noticed workshops and meetings and through the solicitation of public input. 2. Subsequent to the June 2008 review, the RLSA Overlay and RLSA District Regulations may be amended in response to the County's assessment and evaluation of the participation in and effectiveness of the Stewardship Credit System. 3. The value, exchange rate, and use of Stewardship Credits shall be governed by the RLSA Overlay and RLSA District Regulations in effect at the time the SSA from which those credits are generated is approved. The Restoration Stewardship Credits shall be governed by the RLSA Overlay and RLSA District Regulations in effect at the time that such Restoration Stewardship Credits are authorized by the BCC. 4.08.05 Baseline Standards All lands within the RLSA District have been delineated on the RLSA Overlay Map. Unless and until designated as an SSA or SRA, lands within the RLSA District shall remain subject to the Baseline Standards. A. Purpose and intent. These Baseline Standards will remain in effect for all land within the RLSA District unless or until such land becomes subject to the transfer or receipt of Stewardship Credits, except as to those agricultural uses subject to sections 163.3162(4) and 823.14(6), Florida Statutes.The Baseline Standards are intended to protect water quality and quantity, maintain the natural water regime, and protect listed animal and plant species and their habitats on land that has not been designated as an SSA or SRA. The opportunity Supp. No. 2 LDC4:135 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.08.05 A. 4.08.05 H. to voluntarily participate in the Stewardship Credit Program, as well as the right to sell conservation easements or a fee or lesser interest in the land, shall constitute compensation for the loss of any development rights related to these standards. B. Applicability of code. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this section 4.05.00, those provisions of this Code in effect as of July 25, 2000, shall apply to all land within the RLSA District unless or until such lands become subject to the transfer or receipt of Stewardship Credits. C. Private lands delineated FSAs, HSAs, and WRAs. Lands delineated FSA, HSA, or WRA on the RLSA overlay map have been identified through data and analysis as having a higher quality natural resource value than those lands not delineated. Although any land within the RLSA District can be designated as an SSA, generally those lands delineated FSAs, HSAs, and WRAs are the most likely candidates for designation because of the higher credit values applied to lands with those delineations. D. Private lands delineated as open. Lands not otherwise classified as FSA, HSA, or WRA are delineated as 'open" on the RLSA overlay map and are generally of a lower natural resource quality. Open lands may be designated as either SSAs or SRAs. E. Area of critical state concern (ACSC). The RLSA District includes lands that are within the ACSC. Those ACSC lands are depicted on the RLSA overlay map and are eligible for designation as SRAs, subject to additional standards set forth in subsection 4.08.07 A.2. All ACSC regulations continue to apply to ACSC lands within the RLSA District regardless of designation. F. Public or private conservation lands. Those lands within the RLSA District that are held in public ownership or in private ownership as conservation lands may be delineated on the RLSA overlay map as FSA, HSA,or WRA but are not eligible for designation as either an SSA or SRA. G. No increase in density or intensity within the RLSA District is permitted beyond the Baseline Standards except in areas designated as SRAs. Within SRAs, density and intensity may be increased through the provisions of the Stewardship Credit System and, where applicable, through the affordable housing density Bonus as referenced in the density Rating System of the FLUE, and the density and intensity blending provision of the Immokalee Area Master Plan. H. Allowable uses. The permitted, accessory, and conditional uses allowed shall be those set forth in section 2.03.00 in effect as of July 25, 2000, with the following exceptions: 1. Residential Uses, General conditional uses, Earth Mining and Processing Uses, and Recreational Uses (layers 1-4) as listed in the Matrix at section 4.08.00 shall be eliminated in all FSAs, as provided in section 4.08.00. 2. Conditional use essential services and governmental essential services, except those necessary to serve permitted uses or for public safety, shall only be allowed in FSAs with an Index value of 1.2 or less, as provided in section 4.08.00. Supp. No. 2 LDC4:136 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.08.05 H. 4.08.05 J. 3. Directional-drilling techniques and/or previously cleared or disturbed areas shall be utilized for oil and gas exploration and oil and gas field development and production activities in FSAs and HSAs in order to minimize impacts to native habitats, when determined to be practicable. This requirement shall be deemed satisfied upon issuance of a state permit in compliance with the criteria established in Chapter 62C-25 through 62C-30, F.A.C., regardless of whether the activity occurs within the Big Cypress Watershed, as defined in Rule 62C-30.001(2), F.A.C. All applicable Collier County environmental permitting requirements shall be considered satisfied by evidence of the issuance of all applicable federal and/or state oil and gas permits for proposed oil and gas activities in Collier County, so long as the state permits comply with the requirements of Chapter 62C-25 through 62C-30, F.A.C. For those areas of Collier County outside the boundary of the Big Cypress Watershed, the applicant shall be responsible for convening the Big Cypress Swamp Advisory Committee as set forth in Section 377.42, F.S., to assure compliance with Chapter 62C-25 through 62C-30, F.A.C., even if outside the defined Big Cypress Watershed. All oil and gas access roads shall be constructed and protected from unauthorized uses according to the standards established in Rule 62-30.005(2)(a) 1 through 12, F.A.C. 4. Asphaltic and concrete batch making plants shall be prohibited in areas mapped as HSAs. Standards applicable inside the ACSC. RLSA District lands within the ACSC shall be subject to all ACSC regulatory standards, including those that strictly limit non-agricultural clearing. J. Standards applicable outside the ACSC. Except to the extent superceded by L. or M. below, the following standards shall apply to all development within those areas of the RLSA District that are outside of the ACSC, other than agricultural operations that fall within the scope of sections 163.3162 (4) and 823.14 (6), F.S., and single family residential dwellings, unless or until such lands are subject to transmittal or receipt of Stewardship Credits: 1. A wildlife survey, as set forth in Chapter 10, shall be required for all parcels when listed species are known to inhabit biological communities similar to those existing on site or where listed species are directly observed on the site. 2. If listed species are directly observed on the site of the project or are indicated by evidence, such as denning, foraging, or other indications, first priority shall be given to preserving the habitat of such listed species a minimum of 40% of native vegetation on site shall be retained, with the exception of clearing for incidental purposes. 3. If the wildlife survey indicates that listed species are utilizing the site, or the site is capable of supporting and is likely to support listed species, a wildlife habitat management plan shall be prepared and submitted to the County. a. The wildlife habitat management plan within the RLSA District shall include the following techniques to protect listed species from the negative impacts of development: i. Open space and vegetation preservation requirements shall be used to establish buffer areas between wildlife habitat areas and areas dominated by human activities. Supp. No.2 LDC4:137 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.08.05 J. 4.08.05 J. ii. Fencing, walls, other obstructions, or other provisions shall be used to minimize development impacts to the listed species and to encourage wildlife to use wildlife corridors. iii. Roadways crossings, underpasses, and signage shall be used where roads must cross wildlife corridors. b. The wildlife habitat management plan shall also incorporate the following: i. A description of the techniques used to direct incompatible land uses away from listed species and their habitats and to comply with the criteria identified in 1 and 2 above, as applicable; ii. Identification of appropriate lighting controls for permitted uses and a consideration of the opportunity to utilize prescribed burning to maintain fire-adapted preserved vegetation communities and pro- vide browse for white-tailed deer, consistent with the UFWS South Florida Multi-Species Recover Plan, May 1999, except as recom- mended otherwise by the UFWS or FFWCC; and iii. If the development will be larger than 10 acres, a monitoring program. c. The following references shall be used, as appropriate,to prepare the wildlife habitat management plan: i. South Florida Multi-Species Recovery Plan, USFWS, 1999. ii. Habitat Management Guidelines for the Bald Eagle in the Southeast Region, USFWS, 1987. iii.

Gopher tortoise. For parcels containing gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus), priority shall be given to protecting the largest, most Supp. No. 2 LDC4:138 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.08.05 J. 4.08.05 J. contiguous gopher tortoise habitat with the greatest number of active burrows, and for providing a connection to off site adjacent gopher tortoise preserves. ii. Florida scrub jay. Habitat preservation for the Florida scrub jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) shall conform to the guidelines con- tained in Technical Report No. 8, Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, 1991. A maintenance program shall be estab- lished,which shall specify appropriate fire or mechanical protocols to maintain the natural scrub community. A public awareness program to educate residents about the on-site preserve and the need to maintain the scrub vegetation shall be developed. These require- ments shall be consistent with the USFWS South Florida Multi- Species Recovery Plan, May 1999. iii. Bald eagle. For the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), the required habitat management plans shall establish protective zones around the eagle nest restricting certain activities. The plans shall also address restricting certain types of activities during the nest season. These requirements shall be consistent with the USFWS South Florida Multi-Species Recover Plan, May 1999. iv. Red-cockaded woodpecker. For the red-cockaded woodpecker (Ipicoides borealis), the required habitat protection plan shall outline measures to avoid adverse impacts to active clusters and to minimize impacts to foraging habitat. Where adverse effects cannot be avoided, measures shall be taken to minimize on-site disturbance and compensate or mitigate for impacts that remain. These require- ments shall be consistent with the USFWS South Florida Multi- Species Recovery Plan, May 1999. v. Florida black bear. In areas where the Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) may be present,the management plans shall require that garbage be placed in bear-proof containers, at one or more central locations. The management plan shall also identify methods to inform local residents of the concerns related to interac- tion between black bears and humans. Mitigation for impacting habitat suitable for black bear shall be considered in the manage- ment plan. vi. Panther. For projects located in Priority I or Priority II Panther Habitat areas, the management plan shall discourage the destruction of undisturbed, native habitats that are preferred by the Florida panther (Felis concolor coryi) by directing intensive land uses to currently disturbed areas. Preferred habitats include pine flatwoods and hardwood hammocks. In turn, these areas shall be buffered from the most intense land uses of the project by using low intensity land uses (e.g., parks, passive recreational areas, golf courses). Supp. No. 2 LDC4:138.1 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.08.05 J. 4.08.05 K. 4. On property where the wildlife survey establishes that listed species are utilizing the site or where the site is capable of supporting listed species and such listed species can be anticipated to potentially occupy the site,the County shall, consistent with the RLSA Overlay of the GMP, consider and utilize recommendations and letters of technical assistance from the State of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and recommendations from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in issuing development orders. It is recognized that these agency recommendations, on a case-by-case basis may change the requirements contained herein and any such change shall be deemed consistent with this Code. K. Golf course standards. Except as otherwise required by L. or M. below, all golf courses within the RLSA District that are not within an SRA shall be subject to the following requirements: 1. Golf courses shall be designed, constructed, and managed in accordance with Audubon International's Gold Signature Program. The project shall demonstrate that the Principles for Resource Management required by the Gold Signature Program (Site Specific Assessment, Habitat Sensitivity, Native and Naturalized Plants and Natural Landscaping, Water Conservation, Waste Management. Energy Conserva- tion & Renewable Energy Sources, Transportation, Greenspace and Corridors, Agriculture, and Building Design) have been incorporated into the golf course's design and operational procedures. In addition to addressing these requirements, golf courses shall meet the following specific criteria: a. In order to prevent the contamination of soil, surface water and ground water by the materials stored and handled by golf course maintenance operations, golf courses shall comply with the Best Management Practices for Golf Course Maintenance Departments, prepared by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, May 1995. b. To protect ground and surface water quality from fertilizer and pesticide usage, golf courses shall demonstrate the following management practices: i. The use of slow release nitrogen sources; ii. The use of soil and plant tissue analysis to adjust timing and amount of fertilization applications; iii. The use of an integrated pest management program using both biological and chemical agents to control various pests; iv. The coordination of pesticide applications with the timing and application of irrigation water; and v. The use of the procedure contained in IFAS Circular 1011, Managing Pesticides for Golf Course Maintenance and Water Quality Protec- tion, May 1991 (revised 1995) to select pesticides that will have a minimum adverse impact on water quality. 2. To ensure water conservation, golf courses shall incorporate the following in their design and operation: a. Irrigation systems shall be designed to use weather station informa- tion and moisture-sensing systems to determine the optimum amount of irrigation water needed considering soil moisture and evapotrans- piration rates. Supp. No.2 LDC4:138.2 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.08.05 K. 4.08.05 M. b.

Passive recreational areas, boardwalks and recreational shelters; ii. Pervious nature trails; iii. Water management structures; iv. Mitigation areas; v. Any other conservation and related open space activity or use which is comparable in nature with the foregoing uses. 8. Mitigation Requirements. Mitigation shall be required for direct impacts to wetlands, such that the wetland functional score of the mitigation equals or exceeds the wetland functional score of the impacted wetlands. a. Priority shall be given to mitigation within FSAs and HSAs. Supp. No. 2 LDC4:138.4 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.08.05 M. 4.08.06 A. b. Loss of storage or conveyance volume resulting from direct impacts to wetlands shall be compensated for by providing an equal amount of storage or conveyance capacity on site and within or adjacent to the impacted wetland. c. Protection shall be provided for preserved or created wetland or upland vegetative communities offered as mitigation by placing a conservation easement over the land in perpetuity, providing for initial exotic plant removal (Class I invasive exotic plants defined by the Florida Exotic Plant Council) and continuing exotic plant maintenance, or by appropriate ownership transfer to a state or federal agency along with sufficient funding for perpetual management activities. 9. Prior to issuance of any final development order that authorizes site alteration, the applicant shall demonstrate compliance with paragraphs 8.a. through 8.c. above, as applicable. If state or federal agency permits have not provided mitigation consistent with paragraphs 8 above, the County shall require mitigation exceeding that of the jurisdictional agencies. 10. Wetland preservation, buffer areas,and mitigation areas shall be identified or platted as separate tracts. In the case of a Planned Unit Development (PUD), these areas shall also be depicted on the PUD Master Plan.These areas shall be maintained free from trash and debris and from Category I Exotics. Land uses allowed in these areas shall be limited to those identified in 7.d. above. (Ord.

This require- ment shall be deemed satisfied upon issuance of a state permit requiring compliance with the criteria established in Chapter 62C-25 through 62C-30, F.A.C., as those rules existed on June 16, 2005, regardless of whether the activity occurs within the Big Cypress Swamp as defined in Rule 62C- 30.001(2), F.A.C. All applicable Collier County environmental permitting requirements shall be considered satisfied by evidence of the issuance of all applicable federal and/or state oil and gas permits for proposed oil and gas activities in Collier County, so long as the state permits comply with the requirements of Chapter 62C-25 through 62C-30, FAC. For those areas of Collier County outside the boundary of the Big Cypress Watershed, the applicant shall be responsible for convening the Big Cypress Swamp Advisory Committee as set forth in Section 377.42, F.S., to assure compli- ance with Chapter 62C-25 through 62C-30, F.A.C.even if outside the defined Big Cypress Watershed. All oil and gas access roads shall be constructed and protected from unauthorized uses according to the standards estab- lished in Rule 62C-30.005(2)(a)1 through 12, FAC. Nothing contained herein alters the requirement to obtain conditional use permits for oil and gas field development and production activities. h. Golf Course design, construction, and operation in any HSA shall comply with the best management practices of Audubon International's Gold Pro- gram and the Florida DEP, which standards shall be adopted by December 13, 2003. Once land in an HSA is designated as an SSA, no expansion of Agriculture Group 1 (Layer 5) or Agriculture Group 2 (Layer 7) and no conversion of Agriculture Group 2 to Agriculture Group 1 shall be allowed beyond those land uses in existence or allowed by applicable permits as of the date that the SSA designation is approved other than incidental clearing as set forth in j. below. j. Incidental clearing is permitted, provided that the Ag 1 Land Use Layer has been retained on the areas to be incidentally cleared and the Natural Resource Index Value score has been adjusted to reflect the proposed change in land cover. In the event said incidental clearing impacts lands having a Natural Resource Index Value in excess of 1.2, appropriate mitigation shall be provided. Supp. No. 6 LDC4:138.8 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.08.06 A. 4.08.06 A. 4. WRA Delineated Lands. a. In the case where lands delineated as WRA are designated as an SSA, at a minimum, Residential Land Uses (Layer 1), as listed in the Matrix, shall be eliminated as permitted land uses. b. During permitting to serve new uses within an SRA, additions and modifica- tions to WRAs may be required, including but not limited to changes to control elevations, discharge rates, storm water pre-treatment, grading, excavation or fill. Such additions and modifications shall be allowed subject to review and approval by the SFWMD in accordance with best management practices. Such additions and modifications to WRAs shall be designed to ensure that there is no net loss of habitat function within the WRAs unless Supp. No.6 LDC4:138.9 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.08.06 there is compensating mitigation or restoration in other areas of the RLSA District that will provide comparable habitat function. Compensating mitiga- tion or restoration for an impact to a WRA contiguous to the Camp Keais Strand or Okaloacoochee Slough shall be provided within or contiguous to that Strand or Slough. 5. Restoration Zone Delineated Lands. To further direct other uses away from and to provide additional incentive for the protection, enhancement, and restoration of the Okaloacoochee Slough and Camp Keais Strand, when lands within a Restoration Zone are designated as an SSA and at least Land Use Layers 1 through 3 are eliminated as permitted uses, such Restoration Zone shall receive a Stewardship Overlay Designation value of 0.6. B. SSA Credit Generation - Stewardship Credit System. Stewardship Credits (Credits) are created from any lands within the RLSA District from which one or more Land Use Layers are removed and that are designated as SSAs. Once land is designated as an SSA and Credits or other compensation consistent with Policy 3.8 of the RLSA Overlay is granted to the owner, no increase in density or additional uses not expressly identified in the Stewardship Agreement shall be allowed on such property.A methodology has been adopted in the GMP for the calculation of credits based upon: 1) the Natural Resource Index Value of the land being designated as an SSA, and 2) the number of land use layers being eliminated. 1. Early Entry bonus credits. Early Entry bonus credits are hereby established to encourage the voluntary designation of SSAs within the RLSA District. The bonus shall be in the form of an additional one Stewardship Credit per acre of land designated as an SSA that is within an HSA located outside of the ACSC and one-half Stewardship Credit per acre of land designated as an SSA that is within an HSA located inside the ACSC. a. The early entry bonus shall be available until January 30, 2009. b. The early designation of SSAs and the resultant generation of Stewardship Credits do not require the establishment of SRAs or otherwise require the early use of Credits. c. Credits generated under the early entry bonus may be used after the termination of the bonus period. d. The maximum number of Credits that can be generated under the early entry bonus is 27,000. e. Early Entry bonus credits shall not be transferred into or otherwise used to entitle an SRA within the ACSC. 2. The Stewardship Credit Worksheet, adopted as Attachment "A" of the GMP RLSA Goals, Objectives, and Policies, sets out the mathematical formula that shall be used to determine the number of credits available for each acre of land being considered for an SSA. LDC4:139 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.08.06 3. Natural Resource Indices and Values. A set of Natural Resource Indices has been established as part of the Stewardship Credit Worksheet. a. Natural Resource Indices. Stewardship Overlay Designation Proximity Indices Listed Species Habitat Indices Soils/Surface Water Indices Restoration Potential Indices Land Use - Land Cover Indices b. Index Values. During the RLSA Study, based upon data and analysis, each acre within the RLSA District was assigned a value for each Index except for the Restoration Potential Index. The Restoration Potential Index is assigned during the SSA designation process if appropriate, and credit adjustments are made at that time. c. Slough/Strand Index Score Upgrade. An index score upgrade is hereby established as an incentive for the protection, enhancement and restoration of the Okaloacoochee Slough and Camp Keais Strand. All lands within 500 feet of the delineated FSAs that comprise the Slough or Strand that are not otherwise included in an HSA or WRA shall receive the same natural index score (0.6) that an HSA receives, if such property is designated as an SSA and retains only agricultural, recreational and/or conservation layers of land use. d. Index Map. A Natural Resource Index Map adopted as a part of the RLSA Overlay, indicates the Natural Resource Stewardship Index Value for all land within the RLSA District.Credits from any lands designated as SSAs,shall be based upon the Natural Resource Index values in effect at the time of designation. At the time of designation, the Natural Resource Index Assess- ment required in Section 4.08.06 C.3. shall document any necessary adjustments to the index values reflected on the Index Map. Any change in the characteristics of land due to alteration of the land prior to the designation of an SSA that either increases or decreases any Index Value shall result in a corresponding adjustment in the credit value. e. Restoration Potential Index Value. If the applicant asserts that the land being designated as an SSA has a Restoration Potential Index Value of greater than zero (0), an evaluation of the restoration potential of the land being designated shall be prepared by a qualified environmental consultant (per Chapter 10 of the LDC) on behalf of the applicant and submitted as part of the SSA Designation Application Package. In the event that restoration potential is identified,the appropriate Restoration Potential Index Value shall be determined in accord with the Credit Worksheet.The credit value of each LDC4:140 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.08.06 acre to which the Restoration Potential Index Value is applied shall be �-- recalculated by adding the Restoration Potential Index Value to that acre's total Index Value. f. Restoration Stewardship Credits. Restoration Stewardship Credits are hereby established in addition to the Restoration Potential Index Value. In certain locations there may be the opportunity for flow way or habitat restoration such as locations where flow ways have been constricted or otherwise impeded by past activities or where additional land is needed to enhance wildlife corridors. Restoration Stewardship Credits shall be applied to an SSA subject to the following regulations: (1) Priority has been given to restoration within the Camp Keais Strand FSA or contiguous HSAs. Therefore, four(4) additional Stewardship Credits shall be generated for each acre of land dedicated by the applicant for restoration activities within any of the following areas: the Camp Keais Strand FSA, contiguous HSAs, or those portions of the Restoration Zone depicted on the RLSA Overlay Map that are contiguous to the Camp Keais Strand. (2) Two (2) additional Stewardship Credits shall be generated for each acre of land dedicated for restoration activities within the Okaloacoochee Slough, contiguous HSAs, or those portions of the Restoration Zone depicted on that are contiguous to the Okaloacoochee Slough. (3) The actual implementation of restoration improvements is not re- quired for the owner to receive such credits referenced in (1) and (2) above. (4) Lands designated "Restoration" shall be restricted to Agriculture - Group 2 and conservation uses and all natural areas shall be maintained in their existing natural condition until such time as restoration activities occur. Upon completion of restoration, the land shall be managed in accordance with the applicable restoration permit conditions, which may impose further restriction on the allowed use of the property. (5) If the applicant agrees to complete the restoration improvements and the eligibility criteria below are satisfied, four (4) additional Stewardship Credits shall be authorized at the time of SSA desig- nation, but shall not become available for transfer until such time as it has been demonstrated that the restoration activities have met applicable success criteria as determined by the permitting or commenting agency authorizing said restoration. One or more of the following eligibility criteria shall be used in evaluating an applicant's request for these additional Restoration Stewardship Credits: (a) FSA and/or HSA lands where restoration would increase the width of flow way and/or habitat corridors along the Camp LDC4:141 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.08.06 Keais Strand or Okaloacoochee Slough so that, in the opinion of the applicant's environmental consultant and County environmental or natural resources staff, there will be functional enhancement of the flow way or wildlife corridor; (b) FSA and/or HSA lands where restoration would increase the width of flow way and/or habitat corridors within two miles of existing public lands so that, in the opinion of the applicant's environmental consultant and County environmental or nat- ural resources staff, there will be a functional enhancement of the flow way or wildlife corridor; (c) Documentation of state or federal listed species utilizing the land or a contiguous parcel; (d) Lands that could be restored and managed to provide habitats for specific listed species (e.g., gopher tortoise, Big Cypress fox squirrel, red-cockaded woodpecker, etc.), or; (e) Occurrence of a land parcel within foraging distance from a wading bird rookery or other listed bird species colony, where restoration and proper management could increase foraging opportunities (e.g., wood storks). 4. Land Use Layers to be Eliminated.A set of Land Use Layers has been established as part of the Stewardship Credit Worksheet and adopted as the Land Use Matrix set forth below. Each Layer incorporates a number of the permitted or conditional uses allowed under the Baseline Standards. Each Layer listed below has an established credit value (percentage of a base credit) developed during the RLSA Study. At the time of designation application, a landowner wishing to have his/her land designated as an SSA determines how many of the Land Use Layers are to be removed from the designated lands. A Land Use Layer can only be removed in its entirety (all associated activities/land use are removed), and Layers shall be removed sequen- tially and cumulatively in the order listed below. a. Land Use Layers. 1 - Residential Land Uses 2 - General conditional uses 3 - Earth Mining and Processing Uses 4 - Recreational Uses 5 -Agriculture - Group 1 6 - Agriculture - Support Uses 7 -Agriculture - Group 2 LDC4:142 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.08.06 8 - Conservation, Restoration and Natural Resources LDC4:143 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.08.06 O � au & vPa 0 A oN 8 � o ao ^ ° c§ a 2: a 1 m o a •E A o. ° go ,a a � 3 ._ o 4-4 - ~N o � �d � � w d a 14a ° aU a.24 a) m31 y M a ° U d 2 a pp a 3en aA oZ W o O o 'Q. c'3 ° +°� tin q u) .. o of a v cad m U ti o .N ap^y n�°o " 9 o 'G as y m o a o at O F ca c� a) 'C° O O Zr O O �' �+ +� .N A ) q ` o ami o g c U a > ° • b�. 0 .� 0 N o ea" y „ A • -2 5 q A o a' P; L4 x U o :.., a • aai o .aa .0.0. a W . •d ba 0 mi o ata) A s°. ^811 o as a m aa. o a i,' O A o CID a) Uo P. .E °°v 4 ao 4 .

Matrix Calculation. The maximum number of credits generated through designation as an SSA is established in a matrix calculation that multiplies each Natural Resource Index Value by the value of each Land Use Layer, thereby establishing a credit value for each acre in the Overlay, weighted by the quality of its natural resources.As Land Use Layers are removed, the sum of the percentages of those Layers removed is multiplied by the Natural Resource Index Values to determine the Stewardship Credits to be generated by each acre being designated as an SSA. C. SSA Designation Application Package. A request to designate lands(s) within the RLSA District as an SSA shall be made pursuant to the regulations of this Section. An SSA Application Package shall include the following: 1. SSA Designation Application. A landowner or his/her agent, hereafter "applicant," shall submit a request for the designation of SSA for lands within the RLSA District to the County Manager or his designee, on an approved application form. The application shall be accompanied by the documentation as required by this Section. 2. Application Fee. An application fee shall accompany the application. 3. Natural Resource Index Assessment.The applicant shall prepare and submit as part of the SSA Designation Application a report entitled Natural Resource Index Assessment that documents the Natural Resource Index Value scores. The Assess- ment shall include a summary analysis that quantifies the number of acres by Index Values,the level of conservation being proposed, and the resulting number of Credits being generated. The Assessment shall: a. Verify that the Index Value scores assigned during the RLSA Study are still valid through recent aerial photography or satellite imagery, agency- approved mapping, or other documentation, as verified by field inspections. b. if this Assessment establishes that the Index Value scores assigned during the RLSA Study are no longer valid, document the Index Value of the land as of the date of the SSA Designation Application. c. Establish the suggested "Restoration Potential" Index Value for any acres as appropriate and provide evidence/documentation supporting the suggested Index Value; d.

E. SSA Application Approval Process. 1. Public Hearing. The BCC shall hold an advertised public hearing on the proposed resolution approving an SSA Application and SSA Credit Agreement. Notice of the Supp. No. 2 LDC4:150 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.08.06 E. 4.08.07 Board's intention to consider the Application and proposed SSA Credit Agreement shall be given at least fifteen (15) days prior to said hearing by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the County. A copy of such notice shall be kept available for public inspection during regular business hours of the Office of Clerk to the BCC. The notice of proposed hearing shall state the date, time and place of the meeting, the title of the proposed resolution, and the place or places within the County where the proposed resolution and agreement may be inspected by the public. The notice shall provide a general description and a map or sketch of the affected land and shall advise that interested parties may appear at the meeting and be heard with respect to the proposed resolution. The BCC shall review the staff report and recommendations and, if it finds that all requirements for designation have been met, shall, by resolution, approve the application. If it finds that one or more of the requirements for designation have not been met, it shall either deny the application or approve it with conditions mandating compliance with all unmet requirements. Approval of such resolution shall require a majority vote by the BCC. 2. Legal Description. Following the BCC's approval of the SSA Application and SSA Credit Agreement, a legal description of the land designated SSA, the SSA credits granted, and the Stewardship easement applicable to such lands, shall be provided to the Collier County Property Appraiser and the applicant, and shall be recorded within thirty (30) days by the applicant in the public records. 3. Update the RLSA Overlay Map and Official Zoning Atlas. The Official Zoning Atlas shall be updated to reflect the designation of the SSA. Sufficient information shall be included on the updated zoning maps so as to direct interested parties to the appropriate public records associated with the designation, including but not limited to Resolution number and SSA Designation Application number. The RLSA Overlay Map shall be updated to reflect the SSA designation during a regular growth management cycle no later that twelve months from the effective date of the SSA Agreement. F. SSA Amendments. Collier County shall consider an amendment to an approved SSA in the same manner described in this Section for the designation of an SSA. Amendment(s) to approved SSAs shall only be considered if the application removes one or more additional Land Use Layers from the existing SSA. Under no circumstances shall Land Use Layers, once removed as part of an SSA designation, be added back to the SSA. The application to amend the SSA may be submitted as part of an application to designate a new SSA provided such lands are contiguous to the previously approved SSA and are under the same ownership. (Ord. No. 05-27, § 3.Z) 4.08.07 SRA Designation SRA designation is intended to encourage and facilitate uses that enable economic prosperity and diversification of the economic base of the RLSA District, and encourage development that utilizes creative land use planning techniques and facilitates a compact form of development to accommodate population growth by the establishment of SRAs. Stewardship Credits generated from SSAs are exchanged for additional residential or non-residential entitlements in an SRA on a per acre basis as set forth herein. Density and intensity within the RLSA District shall not be increased beyond the Baseline Standards except through the Supp. No.2 LDC4:151 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.08.07 4.08.07 A. provisions of the Stewardship Credit System, the affordable housing density Bonus as referenced in the density Rating System of the FLUE, and the density and intensity blending provision of the Immokalee Area Master Plan. The procedures for the establishment and transfer of Credits and SRA designation are set forth herein. Credits can be transferred only to lands within the RLSA District that meet the defined suitability criteria and standards set forth herein. Land becomes designated as an SRA on the date that the SRA Credit Agreement becomes effective pursuant to Section 4.08.07 D.11. Any change in the residential density or non-residential intensity of land use on a parcel of land located within an SRA shall be specified in the resolution, which shall reflect the total number of transferable Credits assigned to the parcel of land. A. Lands Within the RLSA District that can be Designated as SRAs. All privately owned lands within the RLSA District that meet the suitability criteria contained herein may be designated as SRA, except lands delineated on the RLSA Overlay Map as FSA, HSA, or WRA, or lands already designated as an SSA. WRAs may be located within the boundaries of an SRA and may be incorporated into an SRA Master Plan to provide water management functions for properties within such SRA, subject to all necessary permitting requirements. 1. Suitability Criteria. The following suitability criteria are established to ensure consis- tency with the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the RLSA Overlay. a. An SRA must contain sufficient suitable land to accommodate the planned development. b. Residential, commercial, manufacturing/light industrial, group housing, and transient housing, institutional, civic and community service uses within an SRA shall not be sited on lands that receive a Natural Resource Index value of greater than 1.2. c. Conditional use essential services and governmental essential services, with the exception of those necessary to serve permitted uses and for public safety, shall not be sited on land that receives a Natural Resource Index value of greater than 1.2, regardless of the size of the land or parcel. d. Lands or parcels that are greater than one acre and have an Index Value greater than 1.2 shall be retained as open space and maintained in a predominantly natural vegetated state. e. Open space shall also comprise a minimum of thirty-five percent of the gross acreage of an individual SRA Town, Village, or those CRDs exceeding 100 acres. Gross acreage includes only that area of development within the SRA that requires the consumption of Stewardship Credits. f. As an incentive to encourage open space, open space on lands within an SRA located outside of the ACSC that exceeds the required thirty-five percent retained open space shall not be required to consume Stewardship Credits. g. An SRA may be contiguous to an FSA or HSA, but shall not encroach into such areas, and shall buffer such areas as described in Section 4.08.07 J.6. An SRA may be contiguous to, or encompass a WRA. Supp. No. 2 LDC4:152 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.08.07 A. 4.08.07 B. h. The SRA must have either direct access to a County collector or arterial road or indirect access via a road provided by the developer that has adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed development in accor- dance with accepted transportation planning standards. 2. SRAs Within the ACSC. SRAs are permitted within the ACSC subject to limitations on the number, size, location, and form of SRA described herein. Nothing within this Section shall be construed as an exemption of an SRA from any and all limitations and regulations applicable to lands within the ACSC. Lands within the ACSC that meet all SRA suitability criteria shall also be restricted such that credits used to entitle an SRA in the ACSC must be generated exclusively from SSAs within the ACSC. No early entry bonus credits can be used to entitle an SRA within the ACSC. a. The only forms of SRA allowed in the ACSC east of the Okaloacoochee Slough shall be Hamlets and CRDs of 100 acres or less and the only forms of SRA allowed in the ACSC west of the Okaloacoochee Slough shall be Villages and CRDs of not more than 300 acres and Hamlets. Provided, however,two SRAs, consisting of any combination of Villages or CRDs of not more than 500 acres each, exclusive of any lakes created prior to the effective date of this amendment as a result of mining operations, shall be allowed in areas that have a frontage on State Road 29 and that, as of the effective date of the RLSA Overlay, had been predominantly cleared as a result of Ag Group I (Layer 5) or Earth Mining or Processing Uses (Layer 3). b. The Town form of an SRA shall not be located within the ACSC. B. Establishment and Transfer of Stewardship Credits. The procedures for the establishment and transfer of Credits and SRA designation are set forth herein. Stewardship Credits will be exchanged for additional residential or non-residential entitlements in an SRA on a per acre basis, as described in Section 4.08.07 B.2. Stewardship density and intensity will thereafter differ from the Baseline Standards. 1. Transfer of Credits. The transfer or use of Stewardship Credits shall only be in a manner as provided for herein. a. Stewardship Credits generated from any SSA may be transferred to entitle any SRA, except where the SRA is within the ACSC, in which case only Stewardship Credits that have been generated from an SSA within the ACSC can be used to entitle such SRA. No early entry bonus credits can be used to entitle an SRA within the ACSC. b. Credits can be transferred only to lands within the RLSA that meet the defined suitability criteria and standards set forth herein. c. Stewardship Credits may be transferred between different parcels or within a single parcel, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of these policies. Residential clustering shall only occur within the RLSA District through the use of the Stewardship Credit System, and other forms of residential clustering shall not be permitted. Supp. No. 2 LDC4:153 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.08.07 B. 4.08.07 C. d. Stewardship Credits may be acquired from any credit holder and transferred to an SRA subject to the limitations contained in this Section. e. Stewardship Credits may be acquired from a Stewardship Credit Trust established pursuant to Section 4.08.04 B., and transferred to an SRA subject to the limitations contained in this Section. 2. Stewardship Credit Exchange. Stewardship Credits shall be exchanged for additional residential or non-residential entitlements in an SRA on a per acre basis at a rate of eight (8) Stewardship Credits per gross acre. Lands within an SRA greater than one acre, with Index Values of greater than 1.2, shall be retained as open space and maintained in a predominantly natural, vegetated state. Any such lands within an SRA located outside of the ACSC exceeding the required thirty-five (35) percent shall not be required to consume Stewardship Credits. 3. Public Benefit Uses.The acreage within an SRA devoted to a public benefit use shall not be required to consume Stewardship Credits and shall not count toward the maximum acreage limits of an SRA. For the purpose of this Section, public benefit uses are limited to public schools (preK-12) and public or private post secondary institutions, Post Secondary Institution Ancillary Uses, community parks exceeding the minimum requirement of 200 square feet per dwelling unit, municipal golf courses, regional parks, and governmental facilities excluding essential services as defined in the LDC. — 4. Mixed Land Use Entitlements. In order to promote compact, mixed use development and provide the necessary support facilities and services to residents of rural areas, the SRA designation and the transfer of the Stewardship Credits allows for a full range of uses, accessory uses and associated uses that provide a mix of services to and are supportive to the residential population of an SRA and the RLSA District. SRAs are intended to be mixed use and shall be allowed the full range of uses permitted by the Urban Designation of the FLUE, as modified by Policies 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.7.3, 4.7.4 and RLSA Overlay Attachment C. Depending on the size, scale, and character of an SRA, it shall be designed to include an appropriate mix of retail, office, recreational, civic, governmental, and institutional uses, in addition to residen- tial uses. C. Forms of SRA developments. SRA developments are a compact form of development, which accommodate and promote uses that utilize creative land use planning techniques. SRAs shall be used to facilitate the implementation of innovative planning and flexible development strategies described in § 163.3177 (11), F.S. and Rule 9J-5.006(5)(I), F.A.C. These planning strategies and techniques are intended to minimize the conversion of rural and agricultural lands to other uses while discouraging urban sprawl, protecting environmen- tally sensitive areas, maintaining the economic viability of agricultural and other predomi- nantly rural land uses, and, providing for the cost-efficient delivery of public facilities and services. Only the following four specific forms of rural development in SRAs are permitted within the RLSA District. 1. Towns. Towns are the largest and most diverse form of SRA, with a full range of housing types and mix of uses. Towns have urban level services and infrastructure Supp. No. 2 LDC4:154 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.08.07 C.4. 4.08.07 C.4. which support development that is compact, mixed use, human scale, and provides a balance of land uses to reduce automobile trips and increase livability.Towns shall be not less than 1,000 acres or more than 4,000 acres and are comprised of several villages and/or neighborhoods that have individual identity and character. Towns shall have a mixed-use town center that will serve as a focal point for community facilities and support services. Towns shall be designed to encourage pedestrian and bicycle circulation by including an interconnected sidewalk and pathway system serving all residential neighborhoods. Towns shall have at least one community park with a-minimum size of 200 square feet per dwelling unit in the Town. Towns shall also have parks or public green spaces within neighborhoods. Towns shall include both community and neighborhood scaled retail and office uses, in a ratio as provided in Section 4.08.07 J.1.Towns may also include those compatible corporate office and light industrial uses as those permitted in the Business Park and Research and Technology Park Subdistricts of the FLUE. Towns shall be the preferred location for the full range of schools, and to the extent possible, schools and parks shall be located adjacent to each other to allow for the sharing of recreational facilities. Towns shall not be located within the ACSC. 2. Villages. Villages are primarily residential communities with a diversity of housing types and mix of uses appropriate to the scale and character of the particular village. Villages shall be not less than 100 acres or more than 1,000 acres. Villages are comprised of residential neighborhoods and shall include a mixed-use village center to serve as the focal point for the community's support services and facilities. Villages shall be designed to encourage pedestrian and bicycle circulation by including an interconnected sidewalk and pathway system serving all residential neighborhoods. Villages shall have parks or public green spaces within neighborhoods. Villages shall include neighborhood scaled retail and office uses, in a ratio as provided in Section 4.08.07 J.1. Villages are an appropriate location for a full range of schools. To the extent possible, schools and parks shall be located adjacent to each other to allow for the sharing of recreational facilities. The Village form of rural land development is permitted within the ACSC subject to the limitations of Section 4.08.07 A.2. 3. Hamlets. Hamlets are small rural residential areas with primarily single-family housing and limited range of convenience-oriented services. Hamlets shall be not less than 40 or more than 100 acres. Hamlets will serve as a more compact alternative to traditional five-acre lot rural subsections currently allowed in the Baseline Standards. Hamlets shall have a public green space for neighborhoods. Hamlets include convenience retail uses, in a ratio as provided in Section 4.08.07 J.1. Hamlets may be an appropriate location for pre-K through elementary schools.The Hamlet form of rural land development is permitted within the ACSC subject to the limitations of Section 4.08.07 A.2. 4. Compact Rural developments (CRDs). Compact Rural development (CRD) is a form of SRA that will provide flexibility with respect to the mix of uses and design standards, but shall otherwise comply with the standards of a Hamlet or Village. A CRD may include, but is not required to have permanent residential housing and the services and facilities that support permanent residents. Except as described above, a CRD will conform to the characteristics of a Village or Hamlet as set forth in Section 4.08.07 J.1. based on the size of the CRD.As residential units are not a required use, those goods and services that support residents such as retail, office, civic, governmental and institutional uses shall also not be required. However Supp. No. 6 LDC4:155 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.08.07 C.4. 4.08.07 D.1. for any CRD that does include permanent residential housing, the proportionate support services listed above shall be provided in accordance with the standards for the most comparable form of SRA as described in Section 4.08.07 C.2. or 3. a. Size of CRDs limited. There shall be no more than five (5) CRDs of more than 100 acres in size. b. CRDs within the ACSC.The CRD form of rural land development is permitted within the ACSC subject to the limitations of Section 4.08.07 A.2. 5. Proportion of Hamlets and CRDs to Villages and Towns. In order to maintain the correct proportion of Hamlets and CRDs of 100 acres or less to the number of Villages and Towns approved as SRAs, not more than five (5) of any combination of Hamlets and CRDs of 100 acres or less may be approved prior to the approval of a Village or Town. In order to maintain that same proportion thereafter, not more than five (5) of any combination of Hamlets and CRDs of 100 acres or less may approved for each subsequent Village or Town approved. 6. SRAs as Part of a development of Regional Impact (DRI). SRAs are permitted as part of a DRI subject to the provisions of § 380.06, F.S. and the RLSA District Regulations. a. An SRA Designation Application may be submitted simultaneously with a Preliminary development agreement application that occurs prior to a DRI Application for development Approval (ADA). In such an application,the form of SRA development shall be determined by the characteristics of the DRI project,as described in the ADA. b. The DRI may encompass more than a single SRA Designation Application. It is the intent of this Section to allow for the future designations of SRAs within a DRI as demonstrated by the DRI phasing schedule. c. A DRI applicant is required to demonstrate that: (1) The applicant has the necessary Stewardship Credits to entitle the DRI as part of subsequent SRA Designation Applications, or (2) The applicant owns or has a contract with an owner of enough land that would qualify as SSAs to entitle the DRI as part of subsequent SRA Designation Applications, or has the ability to obtain the necessary Steward- ship Credits to entitle the entire DRI as part of subsequent SRA Designation Applications.

If applicable, the DRI master plan shall be included as part of the SRA Designation Application. The DRI master plan shall identify the location of the SRA being designated, and any previously designated SRAs within the DRI. J. Design Criteria. Criteria are hereby established to guide the design and development of SRAs to include innovative planning and development strategies as set forth in §§ 163.3177 (11), F.S. and Chapter 9J-5.006(5) (I), F.A.C. The size and base density of each form of SRA shall be consistent with the standards set forth below. The maximum base residential density as specified herein for each form of SRA may only be exceeded through the density blending process as set forth in density and intensity blending provision of the Immokalee Area Master Plan or through the affordable housing density bonus as referenced in the Density Rating System of the Future Land Use Element.The base residential density is calculated by dividing the total number of residential units in an SRA by the acreage therein that is entitled through Stewardship Credits.The base residential density does not restrict net residential density of parcels within an SRA.The location, size and density of each SRA will be determined on an individual basis,subject to the regulations below,during the SRA designation review and approval process. 1. SRA Characteristics.Characteristics for SRAs designated within the RLSA District have been established in the Goals, Objectives,and Policies, of the RLSA Overlay.All SRAs designated pursuant to this Section shall be consistent with the characteristics identified on the Collier County RLSA Overlay SRA Characteristics Chart and the design criteria set forth in 2.through 6. below. a.

A CRD may include, but is not required to have permanent residential housing and the services and facilities that support permanent residents. iii. Except as described above, a CRD will conform to the design standards of a Village or Hamlet as set forth herein based on the size of the CRD. As residential units are not a required use, those goods and services that support residents such as retail, office, civic, governmental and institutional uses shall also not be required, however for any CRD that does include permanent residential housing, the proportionate support services shall be provided. b. Example.An example of a CRD is an ecotourism village that would have a unique set of uses and support services different from a traditional residential village. It would contain transient lodging facilities and services appropriate to eco-tourists, but may not provide for the range of services that necessary to support permanent residents. 6. Design Criteria Common to SRAs. a. Parcels of one (1) acre or more, with a Natural Resource Index rating greater than 1.2, must be preserved as open space and maintained in a predominantly naturally vegetated state. LDC4:195 COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4.08.07 b. A minimum of thirty-five (35) percent of the SRA land designated as Town or Village shall be kept in open space. c. SRA design shall demonstrate that ground water table draw down or diversion will not adversely impact the hydroperiods of adjacent FSA, HSA, WRA or Conservation Land and will not adversely affect the water use rights of either adjacent develop- ments or adjacent agricultural operations and will comply with the SFWMD Basis of Review. Detention and control elevations shall be established to protect natural areas and be consistent with surrounding land and project control elevations and water tables. d. Where an SRA adjoins an FSA, HSA, WRA or existing public or private conservation land delineated on the RLSA Overlay Map, best management and planning practices shall be applied to minimize adverse impacts to such lands. Best management practices shall include the following: i. The perimeter of each SRA shall be designed to provide a transition from higher density and intensity uses within the SRA to lower density and intensity uses on adjoining property.The edges of SRAs shall be well defined and designed to be compatible with the character of adjoining property. Techniques such as, but not limited to setbacks, landscape buffers, and recreation/open space placement may be used for this purpose. ii. Open space within or contiguous to an SRA shall be used to provide a buffer between the SRA and any adjoining FSA, HSA, or existing public or private conservation land delineated on the RLSA Overlay Map. open space contiguous to or within 300 feet of the boundary of an FSA, HSA, or existing public or private conservation land may include: natural preserves, lakes,golf courses provided no fairways or other turf areas are allowed within the first 200 feet, passive recreational areas and parks, required yard and set-back areas, and other natural or man-made open space.Along the west boundary of the FSAs and HSAs that comprise Camp Keais Strand, i.e.,the area south of Immokalee Road, this open space buffer shall be 500 feet wide and shall preclude golf course fairways and other turf areas within the first 300 feet. e. Where a WRA is incorporated into the stormwater system of an SRA, the provisions of Section 4.08.04 A.4.b. apply. f. Where existing agricultural activity adjoins an SRA, the design of the SRA must take this activity into account to allow for the continuation of the agricultural activity and to minimize any conflict between agriculture and SRA uses. 7. Infrastructure Required. An SRA shall have adequate infrastructure available to serve the proposed development, or such infrastructure must be provided concurrently with the demand as identified in Chapter 6 of the LDC.The level of infrastructure required will depend on the type of development, accepted civil engineering practices, and the requirements of this Section. a. The capacity of infrastructure serving the SRA must be demonstrated during the SRA designation process in accordance with the provisions in Chapter 6 of the LDC in effect at the time of SRA designation. LDC4:196 SITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.08.07 J.7. 4.08.07 K.1. b. Infrastructure to be analyzed will include facilities for transportation, potable water, wastewater, irrigation water, stormwater management, and solid waste. c. Centralized or decentralized community water and wastewater utilities are required in Towns, Villages, and those CRDs exceeding 100 acres in size. Centralized or decentralized community water and wastewater utilities shall be constructed,owned, operated and maintained by a private utility service, the developer, a Community development District, other special districts the Immokalee Water Sewer Service District, Collier County Water and Sewer District, or other governmental entity. This Section shall not prohibit innovative alternative water and wastewater treatment systems such as decentralized community treatment systems provided that they meet all applicable regulatory criteria. d. Individual potable water supply wells and septic systems, limited to a maximum of 100 acres of any Town,Village or CRD are permitted on an interim basis until services from a centralized/decentralized community system are available. e. Individual potable water supply wells and septic systems are permitted in Hamlets and may be permitted in CRDs of 100 acres or less in size. 8. Requests for Deviations from the LDC. The SRA Development Document or any amend- ments to the SRA Development Document may provide for nonprocedural deviations from the LDC, provided that all of the following are satisfied: a. The deviations are consistent with the RLSA Overlay; and b. It can be demonstrated that the proposed deviation(s) further enhance the tools, techniques and strategies based on principles of innovative planning and develop- ment strategies, as set forth in §§ 163.3177 (11), F.S. K. SRA Public Facilities Impact Assessments. Impact assessments are intended to identify methods to be utilized to meet the SRA generated impacts on public facilities and to evaluate the self-sufficiency of the proposed SRA with respect to these public facilities. Information provided within these assessments may also indicate the degree to which the SRA is consistent with the fiscal neutrality requirements of Section 4.08.07 L. Impact assessments shall be prepared in the following infrastruc- ture areas: 1.
