HONITORINC Ai~ E~ALUATION PROCEDURES
Rule 9J-5.005(7), Florida Administrative Code, requires that monitoring
and evaluation procedures be adopted to evaluate the implau~antation of
the Growth Hanagement Plan. The information obtained viii be used in the
preparation of required evaluation and appraisal reports (EAR).
As a minimum, 9J-§ requires an evaluation of the following:
Citizen participation in the planning process;
How baseline data and measurable objectives are updated;
Accomplishments of the Growth ~anage~ent Plan aa the goals,
objectives and policies were reached;
Problems resulting in the underachievement of goals, objectives and
policies;
Ney or modified Goals, Objectives and Policies needed to correct
problems; and
How the plan will be continuously monitored.
Honitoring of plan implementation is an important part of the planning
process. Progress toward adopted goals, objectives and policies can be
measured and problems, such as level of service difficulties, can ba
identified as they happen. The informational data base developed as part
of this Plan's development can also be kept currant. Withou£ a
continuous monitoring program, evaluation of the Plan would only occur
aver~ five years aa the EAR is prepared.
The procedures for monitoring and evaluating the Growth Management Plan
are as follows:
Each element yell be monitored by the Division or Department
responsible for its preparation;
Annual reports evaluating each element will be prepared at the
start of each fiscal year and sent to the Growth Management
Department; and
These reports will be presented to the County Manager, Planning
Cou~aission and Board of County Commissioners annually and form the
basis for any County initiated Plan amendments and for the required
EAR.
A typical outline for the annual reports is shov~ below:
I. Summary of citizen participation during the previous year.

III. Progress toward element objectives.
A. Accomplishments which show progress made toward adopted
goals, objectives and policies.

ANENDN~ PROCESS
A~ {ha Growth Management Plan is implemented, changes to the Plan my be
necessary from ti~e to time. Therefore, in order to coordinate a~nd-
Mats and to ~nsurs their complete evaluation, the amendment p~ocedur~
adopted by Resolution 86-I16 will continue to b~ roll.sd.
This procedure alloys for one formal anendmenC procedure each year. The
per~itted second amendment process will be reserved for use when daemd
appropriate.
The general requirements to initiate an amendment to the Collier
County Growth Management Plan or one of its elements are as follows:
An amendment may be proposed by the Board of County Commission-
ers (BCC), the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC)
designated as the Local Planntn$ Agency pursuant to Chapter
163,317&, Florida Statutes, any department or agency of the
County, or any person other than those listed above provided,
however, that no such person shall propose an amendment for a
land use designation chan8s for property which ha or she does
not own (except as an agent or attorney for the owner).
The procedures provided herein shall apply to all Plan amend-
meets. Amendments proposed in conjunction with a Florida
Quality Development, a DRI or in cases of emeriency, as defined
in Section 163.3187(I)(a), Florida Statutes, shall follow the
procedure except for the filing dates and public hearing dates
for final adoption. Amendments to the Capital Improvement
Element shall follow the procedures set forth in Section C.
All Plan amendments will be reviewed annually in one cycle
starting on the fourth Friday in January with the exception of
those noted in number 5 below. Proposed amendments submitted
after that date will not be considered until the following
review cycle. The review process includin8 staff review, state
and regional review and local public hearings will taka approx-
imately 9 to 11 months to complete.
All required copies of the application to amend the Collier
County Growth Management ?lan and supporting documentation
along with a filing fee of $1,000 must be submitted to the
Community Development Division prior to 5:00 p,m. of the fourth
Friday in January. The Community Development Division will be
the responsible agency for processing the application and
preparing a recommendation.
Growth Management Plan amendments related to proposed small
scale development activities may be approved outside of the
regular amendment cycle provided all of the conditions ara met
as aec forth in Section 163.3187(1)(c), Florida Statutes 1985,
as amended by Chapter 86-191, Laws of Florida,
The procedure to amend the Collier County Growth Management Plan or
one of its elements (except the Capital Improvement Element) is as
follows:
2
A pre-application conference Shall occur between the petition-
er, the Community Development Division and other appropriate
County staff to ensure that the procedure sst out herein is
understood and adhered
Staff shall perform ~n initial review of the proposed amendment
to determine whether additional information is necessary for
the for~l review and whether other amendments of the Plan viii
be necessary to maintain internal consistency. Within 30
calendar days following the filing deadline noted tn section
A4, staff shall notify the petitioner, in writing that:
(a) the petition is adequate for formal review; or
the petition is inadequate for formal review in which case
the notice shall set forth in detail the additional
information deemed necessary.
The petitioner shall have 30 calendar days to supplement the
application in response to the initial review.
County staff shall review the application and may consult with
other County Departments or agencies as it deems necessary to
evaluate the proposed amendment. Within 45 calendar days,
staff shall prepare a report with a preliminary recommendation
and shall advertise the petition for a Public Hearing to be
scheduled for the first CCPC meeting following said 45 day
period.
The CCPC shall hold an advertised Public Hearing with due
public notice as defined by Chapter 163, Florida Statutes,
during which staff will present their review and make a prelim-
inary recommendation to the CCPC. All interested parties may
appear and be heard. Written comments of the general public
filed with the Community Development Division will also be
considered at the public hearing. Following the CCPC Public
Hearing, the proposed amendment shall be forwarded to the BCC
with the recommendatio~ of the CCPC.
Within 30 calendar days of the CCPC Public Hearing the BCC
shall hold an advertised Public Hearing on the proposed amend-
ment during which the staff review and preliminary recommenda-
tion, and any recommendation made by the CCPC shall be
presented. The Public Hearing shall be held on a weekday no
sooner than ? days after the first advertisement is published.
The intent of the BCC to advertise and hold a second Public
Hearing to consider the adoption of the proposed amendment
shall be announced. All interested parties may appear and be
heard. Written comments filed with the Community Development
Division will also be considered at the Public Hearing.
Following the BCC Public Hearing, tbs BCC will transmit the
appropriate number of copies of the proposed amendment to the
Department of Community Affairs (DCA),
Upon receipt of the proposed Plan amendment the state land
planning agency, the regional planning council and other
3
q
government agencies wilI review said amendment pursuant to
Section 163.3184, Florida Statutes, The state land planning
agency shall transmit in ~rriting ica commsnCs to the local
government along with any objections and any recomendations
for modifications.
Upon recsipt of the review co~ents from the state land plan-
ning agency, the BCC shall have 60 days to adopt the amendments
adopt the amendment with changes, or determine that it will not
adopt the amendment.
The BCC shall hold the second Public Hearing regarding the
proposed amendment during which the final staff review and
recommendation, the CCPC recommendation, state and regional
review comments and public comment will be presented. The
Public gearing shall be held on a weekday no sooner than 7 days
after tbs advertisement is published. The BCe shall then
adopt, adopt with modifications or deny tbs proposed amendmsnt.
Adoption of an amendment to the Growth Management Plan must be
by Ordinance and shall require four affirmative votes of tbs
Board of County Commissioners.
Ce
10.
The adopted amendment to the Growth Management Plan will be
transmitted to the Department of Community Affairs within five
(5) working days after adoption for final compliance review.
The procedure to amend the Capital Improvement Element of the Growth
Management Plan is as follows:
The County will produce a preliminary assessment of the status
of the Capital Improvement Element in November of each year in
conjunction with the release of the preliminary Bureau of
Economic and Business Research population estimates and projec-
tions. This assessment will include an update of population
estimate and projections, revised forecasts of land uses,
analysis of the status of cbs capital projects funded during
the prior fiscal year, ~he projects funded during the current
fiscal year along wi~h an assessment of existing and projected
service levels compared to the adopted level of service stan-
dards. Tbs purpose of this preliminary assessment is to
determine the extend of the annual Capital Improvement Element
update.
The formal annual Capital Improvement Element update will begin
in January of each year in conjunction with the preliminary
assessment done in November, the County's annual budget process
and the release of the official Bureau of Economic and Business
Research population estimates and projections. Tbs update will
include:
(b) Update of facility inventory
(a) Revision of population projections
(d)
Update of the faci~ities requirements anallrsis in order to
project 10 years n/ads (by fiscal year). Dlis analysis
will be the basis for programming capital projects to meet
the adopted level of service standards.
(e)
Update revenue forecasts in order to evaluate financial
feasibility and the County's ability to finance those
capital improvements needed to meet the existing or
proposed level of service standards.
(f)
Revise and develop capital improvement projects for the
next five fiscal years. The first year's schedule of
projects vii1 be incorporated into the County's annual
budget effective the following October let.
(g) Update the public education and health facilities
analysis.
The annual update of the Capital Improvement Elenent will
follow the amendment schedule as outline in section "B".

The Growth Hanagenant Plan is designed to pro. ida a framework for guiding
dacialon making on land uses, public facilities, housing, natural
resources and other areas. However, in some instances the intent and
purpose may be debatable and subject to interpretation. In particular,
Chis nay occur with the Future Land Usa Element.
The following administrative interpretation procedures are established to
resolve disputes, avoid unnecessary litigation, and ensure predictability
and consistency in Plan Implementation.
Interpretations
The procadures for interpretations of the Growth Hanagement Plan are as
follows:
PXan interpretations shall be administrative in nature and be Cbs
reapouaibility of the County Hanagsr. The County Hanager may assipl
the interpretation to the appropriate Division or Depactmant
depending on the subject matter;
Anyone seeking interpretation of the Plan shall submit a fo~l
request to the County Nanagsr. If the interpretation is requested
by a County agency, a proposed interpretation may be submitted along
with the request;
The County Hanager or his designee shall prepare the requested
interpretation and distribute it to affected County Divisions and
Departments and the County Attorney for review within I0 days.
Comments shall be returned to the ~anager's office within 10 days of
receipt. The ~nager shall issue a formal interpretation within 10
days of the end of the review period;
Any appeals to ad~inisCrativa interpretations shall be filed with
the Hanager within 10 days of the date of the formal interpretation,
Th~ Board of County Co~isalonsrs shall act on the appeal within 20
day of the filing date.
~here appropriate and necessary all administrative interpretations
rendered by the County Hanager shall be proposed for incorporation
into the Plan during the next Growth Management Plan amendment
proclal.

I. O~ERVIEW
PURPOSE
The geographic framework for growth in Collier County is established
by the Future Land Uss Element. As such, the Element is central to
planning for and management of natural resources, public facilities,
coastal development, housing and urban danish. The Element is also
important to the County's system of land development regulation and
to private property rights.
The purpose of the Future Land Use Element is to guide decision-
making by Collier County on regulatory, financial and progr~,,,~tic
matters pertaining to land use. Most directly, this Element con-
trols the location, type, intensity and timing of new or revised
uses of land. The land use strateg7 in this Element is closely
coordinated with a strategy for provision of public facilities as
found in the Capital Improvements and Public Facility Elements of
this Growth Management Plan.
BASIS
This Element ia based in large part on the Future Land Use Element
adopted as part of the 1983 Collier County Comprehensive Plan. Ale
land use strategy put forth in that Plan has served Collier County
veil therefore a general continuation is provided. The best charac-
teristics of the 1983 Comprehensive Plan include the use of a
bindinR Future Land Use Map with designated "Urban" areas and the
confinement of intensive Zoning Districts thus intensive land uses
to those areas; and the use of a Point Rating System to determine
permissible residential densi~ies. An Evaluation and Appraisal
Report on the 1983 Plan is included in the Support Document to this
Element.
In addition, this Element is based on the Support Document: Land
Use Data and Analysis and the summation of the detailed planning
conducted for each of the other portions of the Grcwth Management
Plan. Data, analysis and implementation strategies from the various
elements have contributed to the geographic framework through the
configuration of the designations on the Future Land Use Map and the
associated standards for use of land.
New and existing research and literature have also contributed to
the Future Land Use Element. A reference list of pertinent litera-
ture is found within the Support Document.
The State Comprehensive PI-~ and the Southwest Florida Regional
Comprehensive Policy Plan form another basis for the Future Land Use
Element. Chapter 163, Florida Statntes, the "Local Comprehensive
Planning and Land Development Regulation Act" and Chapter 9J-5,
Florida Administrative Code, "Minimum Criteria for Review of Local
Comprehensive Plans and Determination of Compliance" provide de-
tailed requirements on the scope and content of the Element.
January, 1989 LU-I-1
Finally, major contributions to this Element have been provided by
the public through the Collier County Growth Nanagement Citizens
Advisory Co~lttee, Collier County Planning Commission and other
groups and individuals.
C. UNDERLYING CONCEPTS
The land use strategy established by this Element is based on a
series of concepts which emerge from the foundation cited earlier.
The policy direction and implementationmechanisms closely relate to
these underlying concepts.
Protection of Natural Resource Systems
Collier County is situated in an unique, sensitive and intensely
interactive physical environment. Natural resources are abundant:
a subtropical climate with annual wet and dry seasons; enormous
groundwater productivity; vast wetland areas; large ranges of
habitat with diverse and unique flora and fauna; extensive and
highly productive estuarine systems; and many miles of sandy beach.
These natural resources perform functions which are vital to the
health, safety and welfare of the human population of the County,
and serve as a powerful magnet to attract and retain visitors and
residents. Therefore, protection and management of natural resourc-
es for long-term viability is essential to support the human popula-
tion, ensure a high quality of life, and facilitate economic
development. Important to this concept is management of natural
resources on a system-wide basis.
The Future Land Use Element is designed to protect and manage
natural resource systems in several ways. Urban Designated Areas on
the Future Land Use Map are located and configured to guide concen-
trated population growth and intensive land development away from
areas of great sensitivity and toward areas more tolerant to devel-
opment. Within the Urban Designated Areas this Element encourages
Planned Unit Development zoning and assigns maximum permissible
residential density based on the gross land area. Through site plan
review procedures in the County's Land Development Regulations land
alteration and constructicn is guided to the portions of the proper-
ty more tolerant to development, thus in effect an on-site transfer
of development rights. Also, a broader Transfer of Development
Rights provision exists in County Land Development Regulations.
An Area of Critical State Concern Overlay is included on the Future
Land Use Map to ensure implementation of all applicable Land Devel-
opment Regulations in the Okaloacoochee Slough, Big Cypress Swamp,
Fakahatchee Strand and Ten Thousand Islands areas. To be a part of
the County's Land Development Regulations are standards for protec-
tion of groundwater particularly in close vicinity to public water
supply wells as explained in the Natural Groundwater Aquifer
charge Element.
Of crucial importance to the relationship between natural resources
and land use is the completion and implementation of multi-objective
watershed management plans as described in the Water Management
January, 1989 LU-i-2
Element. Water is the great integrator of the physical environment
in that it links together dynamic ecological and human systems.
~erefore, the watershed manssement plan8 must take into account not
only the need for drainage and flood protection but also the need to
maintain water table levels and an approximation of natural dis-
charge to estuaries. The watershed management plans will have
implications for both water management and land use practices.
Finally, natural resources are also protected through close spatial
and temporal coordination of land development with the availability
of adequate infrastructure (public or private facilities) to ensure
optimized accommodation of human impacts particularly in relation to
water supply, sewage treatment and management of solid waste. This
coordination is accomplished through the provision of public facili-
ties as detailed in the Capital Improvement and Public Facility
Elements and through the Level of Service Standards found herein.
Coordination of Land Use and Public Facilities
At the heart of Florida's Growth Management Act (Chapter 163,
Florida Statutes) is the requirement that adequate service by public
facilities must be available at the time of demand by new develop-
ment. Thin requirement is achieved by spatial coordination of
public facilities with land uses through the Future Land Use Map;
and temporal coordination through Level of Service Standards. The
Level of Service Standards are binding, no final local Development
Order may be issued which is not consistent with the Concurrency
Management System. Binding Level of Service Standards have been
established for roads, water supply, sewage treatment, water manage-
ment, solid waste and parks. While the standards in the Capital
Improvement and Public Facility Elements serve to g~ide public
provision of infrastructure, within the context of the Future Land
Use Element the Standards serve to assure the availability of
adequate facilities whether public or private.
The Urban Service Area concept manifested in this Element is crucial
to successful coordination of land development and the provision of
&dequate public facilities. It is within Urban Designated Areas on
the Future Land Use Map that the more intensive Zoning Districts are
permissible thus the more intensive land uses. Since Urban Desig-
nated Areas are where intensive land uses are guided, it is also
where fiscal resources are concentrated for the provision of roads,
water supply, sewage treatmemt and water management. Also, facili-
ties and services such as parks, government buildings, schools and
emergency services are primarily located within Urban Designated
Areas. Outside of the Urban Designated Areas only'lower intensity
land use is permis~ible thus fewer roads and a lower level of water
management is provided and there is no, or very limited, central
water and sewer. It is important that the Urban Designated Area not
be so large that public facilities cannot be efficiently and effec-
tively planned for and deliverea; and not be so small that the
supply of land available for development is extremely limited with
resultant lack of site selection options and competition leading to
January, 1989 LU-I-3
60
elevated land pric~a, ~c is aloo important that the time frames for
land uss and public facility, planning be coordinated as discussed
later in this Over~lew.
ManasemenC of Coastal Development
Two major coastal development issues in Collier County are the
protection of natural resources and the balancing of risk in natural
hazard areas.
Extensive populated areas in Collier County are vulnerable to
periodic salt water inundation from tropical storms. It is extreme-
ly important that an acceptable balance between at-risk population
and evacuation capability be achieved. In addition public and
private investment in such vulnerable areas must be carefully
considersd.
This issue is addressed here and in the Hurricane Evacuation Element
through several measures. A Coastal Management Area is identified
on the Future Land Use Map essentially as all .lands seaward of U.S.
&l. This line is based on the close fit to the storm Category 1
SLOSH area (potential for salt water flooding from I storm in 12
years} and evacuation planning areas. Within the Coastal Management
Area maximum permissible residential density is limited in recogni-
tion of the level of risk, the existing deficiency of evacuation
shelter space and existing patterns of density. A Coastal High
Hazard Area is identified in the Hurricane Evacuation Element and
policies are provided. Finally, coastal natural hazards are ad-
dressed through Land Development Regulations already in effect
relating to coastal building standards per Chapter 161, Florida
Statutes, and protection of structures from floods per County
participation in the FE}~ Flood Insurance Program.
Provision of Adequate and Affordable Housin~
An emerging issue in Collier County is the availability of adequate
and affordable housing for low and moderate income populations. The
Future Land Use Element encourages the creation of affordable
housing through provisions which allow for increased residential
density if the proposed dwelling units would be affordable based on
the standards found in the Housing Element.
Attainment of High quality Urban Design
The report of the Regional/Urban Design Team for the Naples area
dated April 1987 and subsequent recommendations of the R/UDAT
Citizen Committee provide another underlying concept. While the
Growth Management Plan as a whole provides the requisite foundation
for superior urban design through a sound framework for growth
(protection of natural resources, thoughtful guidance of land uses,
adequate public faciliclem and adequate housing), the Future Land
Use Element provides beveral additional measures.

" Zo
HaJor attention is given to the patterns of co=~ercial development
in Collier County. Concern about com~ercial development relates to
transportation impacts both on a micro (access to road network) and
macro (distribution of trip attractors and resultant overall traffic
circulation) level and it relates to aesthetics and sense of place.
Within the Traffic Circulation Element a commitment to adopt stan-
dards for road access as a part of the Land Development Regulations
is included. The Future Land Use Element includes improved loca-
tional criteria for commercial development. Also, this Element
provides for Commercial Activity Centers located away from areas
subject to long range traffic congestion.
The Activity Centers are intended tc provide for concentrated
commercial development hut with carefully configured access to the
road network. Superior urban design is therefore promoted by
carefully managing road access, avoiding commercial strip develop-
ment, improving overall traffic ci~culation patterns and providing
for community focal points.
A second urban design initiative relates to Corridor Management
Plans. The Future Land Use Element commits to the completion of
such plans for two roadways initially and to extend the concept to
other roads in the future. The plans will identify an urban design
theme for a particular road and recommend a nackage of Land Develop-
ment Regulations (land uae, height, setback, landscaping, signage,
lighting, etc.) and public works (landscaping, lighting, signage,
etc.) to achieve that theme. The City of Naples and Collier County
are cooperating on the first roads to be treated with this approach.
~mproved Efficiency and Effectiveness in the Land Use
Regulatory Process
Attention has been devoted to improving the land use regulatory
process through straight forward requirements and procedures. Thin
has lead to the style and structure of this Plan; a commitment to
reorganize the County's development review process; and through
future effort to compile all Land Development Regulations into
single code.
Protection of Private Property Ri6hts
Important to every facet of this Element is maintenance of a careful
balance between private property rights and the general public
interest. Although sound land use management by definition estab-
lishes limits on use of property, care has been taken to ensure the
limits are rational; fair; based on the health, safety and welfare
of the public; and that due process is provided. Of particul~r
importance is the issue of vested rights which is addressed later in
this Overview.

D. SPECIAL ISSUES
Coordination of Land Use and Public Facilit~ Planning
It is important that the time frames of land use planning and public
facilities planning be coordinated. During the development of this
Growth Management Plan it became clear that an incongruit~ exists in
that under the 1983 Collier County Comprehensive Plan enough land'in
the western coastal area was designated Urban for approximately
317,200 dwelling units (exclusive of City of Naples) which would
take until the year 2050 to build-out. Of this approximately 53,800
dwelling units were built and 120,100 dwelling unite zoned but
unbuilt as of January 1988 (exclusive of City of Naples). In the
Immokalee Urban Area enough land had been included for a build-out
time horizon of 2105. This is contrasted by the time frames for
public facility planning which are at i0 years for all facilities
except roads where a 2015 plan for the majority of the western
coastal Urban Designated Area is nearing completion. The 2015 plan
is designed to accommodate approximately 153,400 dwelling units
(exclusive of City of Naples).
As previously discussed, Level of Service Standards for public
facilities which are binding on land development are adopted for
roads, water supply, sewage treatment, water management, parks and
solid waste. Of these, the first four are most closely tied to the
development of a property - adequate roads, water, sewer and water
management must be on or adjacent to a property for it to be devel-
opable. Parks and solid waste are a matter of ensuring adequate
countywide capacity. To narrow the issue further, it is recognized
that the approach to adequate water management ia regulatory - a
level of on-site storm flood protection ia required. In the case of
water and sewer, although County provided systems are substantial
and expanding, a large amount of such service is self-provided
without major adverse ramifications. Thus, the critical issue
becomes coordination of land use and tranmportation time frames.
The difficulties that this incongruity could lead to include:
- An internally inconsistent Plan;
Failure to reserve adequate right-of-way at time of zoning;
Condemnation of land after zoning or after development in order
to obtain adequate right-of-way;
Temporary prohibitions on issuance of Development Orders due to
violations of Level of Service Standards; and
- Progressive lowering of Level ol Service Standards.
This Growth Management Plan responds to the time frame discrepancy
through ir~ediate action and through process oriented commitments.
First, the Traffic Circulation Element includes an Objective to
~l · January, 1989 LU-I-6
coordinate wi~h the Future Land Use Element and a policy to complete
long range transportation planning which coincides with the time
frame of the Future Land Use Map. Second, the Density Rating System
has been adjusted to moderate maximum permissible densities in areas
subject to long range congestion. Third, commercial development
opportunities in the form of Activity Centers are prgvided away from
areas subject to long range traffic congestion. Level of Service
Standards that are binding on the issuance of Development Orders are
adopted as part of this Element, as well as the Capital Improvement
Element. Finally, a Zoning Evaluation Program has been established.
The areas identified as subject to long range traffic congestion
consist of the western coastal Urb~a Designated Area seaward of a
boundary marked by Airport Road (including an imaginary extension
north to the Lee County boundary), Davis Boulevard, County Barn Road
and Rattlesnake Hammock Road.(including an imaginary extension to
the east). The basis for this determination is the proposed 2015
Transportation Plan which forecasts future land use based on exist-
ing development, potential development and population projections.
The land use forecasts are the'basis for projected unconstrained
traffic circulation from which once compared to the existing roadway
network future roadway needs are derived. Since the 2015 roadway
needs have not me= with public acceptance, concern has developed
about the acceptability of the roadway needs anticipated by 2050,
the time frame of the western coastal Urban Demignated Area.
Therefore, the strategy discussed above is promoted (i.e., extend
time frame of transportation planning, moderate maximum permissible
densities in areas subject to long range congestion, provide commer-
cial development opportunities which serve to modify the overall
traffic circulation pattern and reevaluate existing zoning).
Level of Service Standards
Standards for adequate service for roads, water, sewer, water
management, parks and solid waste are adopted as a part of this
Element as well as the Capital Improvement Element. While a major
purpose of the standards in the Capital Improvement Element is to
drive the funding of facility expansion commensurate with the demand
created by population growth, the major purpose for inclusion in
this Element is to serve as a regulatory tool.
Objective 2 states:
· . . No local Development Order shall be issued unless re-
quired public facilities meet the requirements of the Concur-
rency Management System found in the Capital Improvement
Element . .
January, 1989
LU-I-7
As discussed in the previous section, implementation of the Stan-
dards will rely on the following strategies:
Parks - Annual Certification of Adequate Capacity;
Solid Waste - Annual Certification of Adequate Capacity;
Water Management - Project-Specific Regulatory Requirement;
Sewage - Project-Specific Capacity Test (may be provided
publicly or privately as a central or individual system);
Water - Project-Specific Capacity Test (may be provided public-
ly or privately as a central or individual system); and
Roads - Project-Specific Capacity Test.
It is recognized that difficulties may arise in situations where the
County is not providing the facility or service but is responsible
for implementation of a regulatory Level of Service Standard. This
is the case with State Roads running through the County; with
independent and City of Naples water and sewer districts within the
County; and conversely, with County Roads running through the City
of Naples. In these instances effort has been made to coordinate
the "regulatory" Level of Service Standard with the "funding" Level
of Service Standard· However, if there is a failure by the service
provider, adjustment to the regulatory effort may be forced. For
example, if the State Department of Transportation allows a road to
fall below its "funding" standard (which is the same as the County's
"regulatory" standard) and there is no commitment to accelerate
funding and construction, four options appear available:
A moratorium may be imposed but may not be sustainable if
there is no commitment to improve the road by a definite
and reasonable time;
The County may improve the road;
* The private sector may improve the road; or
The regulatory Level of Service Standard may be lowered
through a Comprehensive Plan amendment process that would
take about si~x months.
January, 1989
LU-I-8
The issue of vested rights for approved but unbuilt development is
an important consideration in the Future Land Use Element. The
issue emerges with regard to existing zoning which is inconsistent
with this Plan; with regard to the magnitude of approved but uubuilt
residential dwelling units in relation to the difficulty of fore-
casting development trends and resultant facility needs; with regard
to transportation planning time frames and right-of-way needs; and
with regard to approved but unbuilt commercial zoning in light of
the Commercial Land Use Study which found that of the approximately
4,500 acres of commercially zoned ].and in the County as of 1986,
only 25% is developed (see Support Document).
This Growth Management Plan responds to the vested rights issue by
establishing a program which reviews all previously approved zoning.
Within three years after Plan adoption, all zoning will be reviewed.
If it is determined to be inappropriate and is not vested, the
zoning will be adjusted to an appropriate classification. Annually
thereafter, zoning will be reevaluated on the fifth anniversary of
its approval. This Plan commits to establishment of such a process
by August 1989 (see Appendix C of the Support Document for a com-
plete discussion of the vested rights issue).
E. FUTURE LAND USE MAP
The Future Land Use Map depicts the desired extent and geographical
distribution of land uses in the County. Mixed use categories are
used to generally describe the character of allowed development.
Within each of these categories, a range of uses are permitted based
upon specific standards as described in the Description Section of
this Element. These uses include residential, commercial, industri-
al, agricultural, recreational, conservation, educational and public
facilities.
The Future Land Use Map series includes seven additional maps:
Future Land Use Map - Public Facilities, which shows existing and
planned public facilities; Future Land Use Map - Natural Resources:
Waterwells, Cones of Influence, Rivers, Bays, Lakes, Floodplains,
]{arbors and Minerals (this map also shows those properties proposed
for public acquisition by the State Department of Natural Resources'
Conservation and Recreational Lands Program (CARL) and the South
Florida Water Management District's Save Our Rivers Program); Future
Land Use Map - Natural Resources: Wetlands; Future Use Map -
Natural Resources: Future Land Use Map - Natural Resources: Soils;
and Future Land Use Map - Interstate Activity Center (three maps
showing the boundaries of the Activity Centers located at the three
Interstate Interchanges).
With the exception of Activity Center maps, these maps are located
at the end of the Future Land Use Element. Activity Center maps are
located within the Element.

Co
Regulate areas subject to seasonal and periodic flooding and provide
for drainage and stor~nwater management. This shall he accomplished
through continued adherence to South Florida Water Management
District Surface Water Management regulations.
Protect potabl, e water wellfields and aquifer recharge areas. 7his
shall be accomplished through the creation and implementation of a
wellfield protection ordinance. The ordinance shall establish cones
of influence based on groundwater travel time, restrict land uses
and activities within the cones of influence and establish develop-
ment standards for those activitie~ beyond the cones of influence
which may endanger the we!!fields and aquifer recharge areas based
on their potential for pollution.
Regulate signage. The existing Sign Ordinance shall be updated. As
~ minimum, the ordinance shall amend the frontage requirements for
signs, consider allowing shared signs for smaller properties, define
terms within the ordinance to clarify its intent and establish an
amortization schedule for non-conforming signs.

with the Zoning Ordinance which requires the identification and
location of all utilities which will serve the development.
Protect historically significant properties. This shall be accom-
plished through amendment to the existing Zoning Ordinance based on
recommendations in the Historic and Archeologic Survey. The amend-
ments shall include provisions which require identification of and
mitigation for know~ historic resources on a property as a part of
project review at time of rezoning.
Mitigate incompatible land uses, with the area designated as the
Naples Airport Noise Zone receiving first priority Zone. This shall
be accomplished through adoption of regulations which require
soundproofing for all new residential structures within the 65 LDN
Contour as identified on the Future Land Use Map. Also, all proper-
ty records of the County shall indicate that the respective proper-
ties are within the Airport Noise Zone. The boundary of the Naples
Airport Noise Zone shall be made consistent with the 65 LDN contour
identified in the Naples Airport Part 150 Study when approwed by the

Establish procedures to notify the Naples Airport Authority of all
development proposals within 20,000 feet of the airport which exceed
height standards established by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Establish a zoning reevaluation program for unimproved property that
shall be carried out within two years of the adoption of this Plan
for all co~ercially zoned property and within three years of the
adoption of this Plan for all other property. Ail zoning districts
and approvals shall be reviewed. If the zoning is determined to be
inappropriate and is not determined to be vested, the zoning shall
be changed'to an appropriate zoning classification which is consis-
tent with this Plan or compatible with surrounding land uses.
Annually thereafter, all zoning approvals shall be reevaluated on
the fifth anniversary of the approval. Until the vestcd or
nonvested status of such property has been determined and, if not
vested, until notice has been given that such property will be
considered for rezoning to an appropriate classification pursuant to

FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION
DESCRIPTION SECTION
The following section describes the land use designations sho~ on the
Future Land Use Map. These designations generally indicate the types of
land uses for which zoning may be requested. However, these land use
designations do not guarantee that a zoning request will be approved.
Requests may be denied by the Board of'County Commissioners based on
criteria in the Zoning Ordinance or in special studies completed for the
County.
URBAN DESIGN,~ION
Urban Designated Areas on the Future Land Use Map include two general
portions of Collier County: areas with the greatest residential densi-
ties and areas in close proximity which have, or are projected to re-
ceive, future urban support facilities and services. It is intended that
Urban Designated Areas accommodate the majority of population growth and
that new intensive land uses be located within them.
The boundaries of the Urban Designated Areas have been established based
on several factors including: patterns of existing development, patterns
of approved but unbuilt development, natural resources, water management,
hurricane risk, existing and proposed public facilities aR well as
population projections and the land needed to accommodate the growth.
The Urban Designation will also accommodate future non-residential uses
including essential services as defined by the most recent Collier County
Zoning Ordinance. Other permitted non-residential land uses may include:
parks, open space and recreational use; community facilities such as
churches, cemeteries, schools, fire and police stations; utility and
communication facilities; earth mining, oil, extraction and related
processing; agriculture; and travel trailer recreational vehicle parks
provided that the following criteria are me: - the site has direct access
to a road classified as an arterial and the use will be compatible with
surrounding land uses. Support medical facilities such as physicians'
offices, medical clinics, treatment, research and rehabilitative centers
and pharmacies (as long as the dominant use is medical related) may also
be permitted provided they are located within ¼ mile of hospitals or
major treatment centers that are existing or approved at the time of Plan
adoption. In addition, certain land uses are permitted under criteria as
described later.
A. URBAN - MIXED USE DISTRICT
This District is intended to accommodate a variety of residential
land uses including single family, multi-family, duplex, mobile home
and mixed use (Planned Unit Development). Certain industrial and
commercial uses are also allowed under criteria.

FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
DENSITY RATING SYSTEM
Within Urban Designated Areas as identified on the Future Land Use Map a
base density of 4 residential dwelling units per gress acre is permitted.
However, that base level of density may be adjusted depending on the
characteristics of the project.
Consistency with the following characteristics would add to the base
density:
(i) Conversion of Commercial Zoning
If the project includes conversion of commercial zoning which is not
located within an Activity Center or which is not consistent with
adopted siting criteria for commercial land use, a bonus of 16
dwelling units may be added for every 1 acre of commercial zoning
which is converted. These dwelling units may be distributed over
the entire project. The project must be compatible with surrounding
land uses.
(2) Proximity to Activity Center
If the project is in close proximity to an applicable Activity
Center, the following density may be added:
If the project is within an Activity Center, up to 16 residential
unit6 per gross acre may be permitted.
If the project is within [ mile of the Activity Center, 3 residen-
tial units may be added.
The density band around an Activity Center shall be measured by the
radial distance from the center of the intersection around which the
Activity Center is situated. If 50% or more of a project is within
the density band, the additional density applies to the entire
project. Denstty bands shall not apply within the Estates
Designation.
(3) Affordable Housing
Provision of Affordable Housing as defined in the Housing Element
would add 8 dwelling units per gross acre. This bonus may be
applied to portions of projects. An Affordable Housing Density
Bonus Ordinance must be adopted prior to application of this provi-
sion. Until the adoption of the Land Development Regulations that
define Affordable Housing and establishes a monitoring system, the
Entry Level Rental Housing provisions of the Zoning Ordinance may be
applied to this bonus provision.

FUTURE L,AND USE ELEMENT
(4) Residential In£tll
To encourage residtntial infill, 3 residential dwelling units per
gros:3 acre may be added if the project is l0 acres or less in size
located within an area with central public water and sewer service.
The following conditions must be met: the project must be compati-
ble with surrounding land uses; the property in question has no
common site development plan with adjoining property; there is no
common ownership with any adjacent parcels; and the parcel in
question was not created to take advantage of the in-fill residen-
tial density.
(5) Roadway Access
If the project has direct access to 2 or more arterial or collector
roads as identified in the Traffic Circulation Element or if there
is project commitment for provision of interconnection of roads with
existing or future adjacent projects, 1 residential dwelling unit
per gross acre may be added. Density credits based on future
roadways will be awarded if the developer commits to construct a
portion of the roadway (as determined by the County Transportation
Department) or the road is scheduled for completion during the first
five years of the CIP.
Consistency with the following characteristic would subtract density:
(1)
If the project is within the area identified as subject to long
range traffic congestion which consists of the western coastal Urban
Designated Area seaward of a boundary marked by Airport Road (in-
cluding an imaginary extension north to the Lee County boundary),
Davis Boulevard, County Earn Road and Rattlesnake Hammock Road
(including an imaginary extension to the east), I dwelling unit per
gross acre would be subtracted.
Conditions:
(i) In no case shall maximum permitted density exceed 16 residential
dwelling units per gross acre.
(2)
The maxim~tm permitted density shall not exceed 4 residential dwell-
ing units per gross acre within the Traffic Congestion Area which
includes the Coastal Management Area, unless it is increased through
conversion of commercial zoning, provision of affordable housing,
use of the provision for residential infill, or for density awarded
within the boundaries of an Activity Center. Properties adjacent to
the Traffic Congestion Area shall be considered part of the Traffic
Congestion Area if their principal access is to a road forming the
boundary cf the Area.

Travel Trailer Recreational Vehic!e Parks ohall be allowed to
develop at a density consistent with the Zoning Ordinance.
3. INDUSTRIAL UNDER CRITERIA
The Industrial Land Use Designation provides for t~e full array
of industrial land uses as described in the Zoning Ordinance
for Industrial and Light Industrial Zoning Districts. The Plan
also allows for limited expansion adjacent to those Industrial
Designation~ provided certain conditions are met regarding
access, traffic circulation and infrastructure provision. In
addition, certain Industrial land uses may be permitted within
Urban Designated Areas under criteria.
The following criteri~ must be met:
The proposed project must be in the form of an Industrial.
Planned Unit Development. Intensities of use shall be
limited to: technological research, design, and product
development; light manufacturing, processing and packaging
in fully enclosed building; corporate headquarters;
medical laboratories, clinics, treatment facilities and
research and rehabilitative centers; printing; lithograph-
ing and publishing; and laboratories.
The boundaries of the proposed project must be transition-
al, therefore, the uses along the perimeters must be
compatible with non-industrial uses. The project must
h~ve direct access to an arterial and an internal circula-
tion network which prohibits industrial traffic from
travelling through predominantly residential areas. The
project must have central water and sewer and shall not
generate noise or odor so as to be incompatible with
surrounding land uses.
As a part of the County's Land Development Regulations, an
Industrial Planned Unit Development Zoning District shall be
established and include standards for the following:
Standards for an overall Master Development Plan for the
entire parcel cf land and require Site Development Plan
approval for each lot or building srea;

FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
List of permitted uses;
Minimum tract size and lot area;
Buffering, lands~aping and open space requirements;
Regulations regarding signage, lighting, outdoor storage
parking and loading; and '
Setback requirements and maximum building height.
CO}~ERCIAL UNDER CRITERIA
Within the Urban-Mixed Use District certain infill commercial
development may be permitted. This shall only apply in areas
· already substantially zoned or developed for such uses. The
following standards which limit the intensity of uses must be
met:
a)
b)
The proposed use must be bounded by existing commercial
zoning on both sides with the exception of uses that meet
the intent of the C-6 Zoning District and the parcel
shculd not exceed 200 feet in width, although the width
may be greater at the discretion of the Board of County
Commissioners;
The proposed use must not generate in excess of ten
percent of the average daily traffic on abutting streets;
and
c)
The proposed use must not exceed a floor area of 25 000
square feet. '
URBAN - COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
Through the use of Activity Centers and neighborhood centers within
large PUDs, this District is intended to acc¢-modate virtually ail
new commercial zoning within Urban DesignateC Areas.
1. ACTIVITY CENTER SUBDISTRICT
Commercial Activity Centers have been designated on the Future
Land Use Map. The locations are based on intersections of
major roads and on spacing criteria. The Activity Center
concept is designed tc concentrate almost all new commercial
zoning in locations wkere traffic impacts can readily be
accommodated, to avoid strip and disorgmnized patterns of
ccm~ercial development and to create fccal points w~thin the
community.

FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
With the exception of the three Interchange Activity Centers,
the Activity Centers are all of the same configuration and size
- square, ½ mile on a side, measured from the center point of
the intersection,.totalling 160 acres. Activity Centers at the
1-75 interchanges have been specifically defined om the follow-
ing maps.
Activity Centers are intended to be mixed-use in character.
The actual mix of the various land uses (i.e., commercial,
residential, institutional) shall be determined during the
rezoning process based on consideration of the following
factors:
The amount, type and location of existing zoned and
developed commercial uses within or in close proximity of
the Activity Center;
Existing patterns of land use within or in close proximity
of the Activity Center;
Market de~and and service area for the proposed commercial
land uses to be used as a guide to explore the feasibility
of the requested lard uses;
Adequacy of infrastructure capacity, particularly roads;
Compatibility of the proposed development with and adequa-
cy of buffering for adjoining properties;
Natural or man-made constraints;
° Criteria identified in the Zoning Ordinance; and
° Other relevant factors.
As a part of all Petitions for Rezone within Activity Centers
the applicant shall include an evaluation of the factors cited
above. In addition, the applicant shall generally identify
development trends within the Activity Center and demonstrate
compatibility with existing and proposed development through
urban design criteria such as buffering and architectural
controls and how the proposed project would limit adverse
impacts on the highway network by controlling road access
points and coordinating on and off-site movement of traffic
with surrounding properties. If any project is 75% within an
Activity Center, the entire project shall be considered to be
within the Activity Center.
The standard for intensity of uses within each Activity Center
is that the full array o~ commercial uses may be allowed. It
is preferred that all new commercial zoning within Activity
Centers shall be in the form of a Planned Unit Development.
1989 LU-I-33
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
There shall be no minimum acreage limitation for such Planned
Unit Developments. All new residential zoning shall be consis-
tent with the Density Rating System. Hotels and motels that
locate within an Activity Center will be allowed to develop at
a density consistent with the Zoning Ordinance.
Existing commercially zoned and developed areas which are not
within an Activity Center or do not meet other commercial
siting criteria will be allowed to expand only to the extent
permitted under the zoning classification for that property.
F~pansion involving aggregation of additional property occur-
ring after adoption of this Plan shall be subject to the
policies of this Plan.
From time to time new Activity Centers may be proposed. The
minimum level of intersection which may be eligible for other
new Activity Centers is one with an arterial - collector
Junction. Also, no two centers may be closer than two miles
from each other based on center points. New Activity Centers
would require market Justification and must meet size, spacing
and use limitations expressed earlier.

FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
The intersection of Airport-Pulling Road and Vanderbilt Beach
Road is designated as a Future Activity Center. Upon comple-
tion of Vanderbilt Beach Road from CR 951 to US 41 this inter-
section shall automatically become an Activity Center and at
that time become eligible for commercial zoning requests.
Access from the roadway network into the Activity Centers shall
be carefully managed. Policy 1.4.4 of this Element makes a
ccr~itment to develop access management plans for each Activity
Center by August 1990. During the interim to the extent
possible access points shall be kept to a minimum and individu-
al projects shall be encourage([ to combine points of access.
Coordination of access with existing and future projects shall
be required as appropriate at time of zoning and site plan
approval.
It is recognized that new development within the Traffic
Congestion Area as identified on the Future Land Use Map will
be difficult to accommodate on the existing and planned road
network. Therefore, proposals for commercial development
within the area shall be subject to thorough transportation
review and appropriate requirements shall be imposed to coordi-
nate and minimize access points onto the road network and to
ensure mitigation of ail impacts on road capacity.
2. PUD NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL SUBDISTRICT
For PUD's of 300 acres or more or with 1,000 dwelling units or
more, a neighborhood commercial center may be allowed subject
to the following standards:
Commercial zoning shall be no closer than two miles to the
nearest Activity Center and no closer than two miles from
the nearest PUD commercial zoning of ten acres or greater
in size.
The configuration of the commercial parcel shall allow no
more frontage than depth;
Co
The commercial parcel shall be no greater than 15 acres in
size; and
No construction in the commercial designated area shall be
allowed until 50% of the building permits for the develop-
ment are issued unless otherwise authorized by the Board
of County Co~missioners.

those related to light manufacturing, processing, storage and
warehousing, wholesaling, distribution and other basic industrial
uses as described in the Zoning Ordinance for Industrial and Light
Industrial Zoning Districts. The'boundaries of Industrial Districts
are transitional; therefore, the uses along their perimeters must be
compatible with non-industrial uses. 'Ail industrial areas should
have direct access to an arterial and an internal circulation
network which prohibits industrial traffic from travelling through

current sites. New industrial land use may be approved outside of
the Industrial District, however, the following criteria must be
met: the rezone shall be in the fol~ of a Planned Unit Development;.
the proposed site must not be "spot industrial" and therefore must
be adjacent to existing land designated or zoned industrial; the
proposed land use must be compatible with adjacent land uses; and,
necessary infrastructure including an internal road network and
central water and sewer must be provided or in place. In addition,
non-contiguous industrial use may be permitted in the Urban Desig-

CONSERVATION DESIGNATION
The overall purpose of the Conservation Designation is to conserve and
maintain the natural resources of Collier County and their associated
environmental and recreational benefits. Ail native habitats possess
ecological and physical characteristics that Justify attempts to maintain
these important natural resources. Barrier Islands, coastal bays and
wetlands deserve particular attention because of their ecological, value
and their sensitivity to perturbation. It is because of this that all
proposals for development in the Conservation Designation must be subject
to rigorous review to ensure that the impacts of the development do not
destroy or unacceptably degrade the inherent functional values.
The Conservation Land Use Designation is intended to protect certain
vital natural resource areas of the County owned by the public. Stan-
dards for development of these areas are found in the Conservation and
Coastal Management Element and the County's Land Development Regulations.
The Conservation Designation will accommodate future non-residentia?, uses
including essential services as defined in the most recent Collier County
Zoning Ordinance; parks, open space and recreational use; community
facilities such ss churches, cemeteries, schools, fire and police sta-
tions; utility and communication facilitie~; earth mining; agriculture;
and oil extraction and related processing. The boundaries of the Conser-
vation District may periodically change as properties are acquired.
A. PUBLIC LANDS - MIXED USE DISTRICT
This District includes such areas as Everglades National Park, Big
Cypress National Preserve, Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve,
Collier-Seminole State Park, Rookery Bay National Estaurine Sanctu-
ary Research Reserve, Delnor-Wiggins State Park and At~dubon Cork-
screw Swamp Sanctuary (privately owned). Single family residential
development may be allowed within these areas at a ma~imum density
of 1 unit per 5 gross acres. However, within the Big Cypress
Nationai Preserve private in-holdings may be developed for residen-
tial use with a maximum density of 1 unit per 3 gross acres. Also,
within the Mational Preserve land zoned for A-I agricultural use may
be developed for low density residential use without active agricul-
tural operations.

I. I I~I~ODUC~I ON
In 1985 ar.d 1986 the Florida Legislature significantly strength-
ened the z equirements for county and city comprehensive plans.
One of th~- new provisions of the Local Government Comprehensive
Planning and Land Development Regulation Act is the requirement
that the comprehensive plan must contain a capital improvement
element t¢ "...consider the need for and location of public
facilities..." (Section 163.3177 (3), Florida Statutes).
The capital improvement element (CIE) is supposed to identify
public facilities that will be required during the next five or
more years, including the cost of the facilities, and the sources
of revenue that will be used to fund the facilities.
One of the specific requirements of the legislation states that
the public facilities that are contained in the CIE must be based
on "standards to ensure the availability of public facilities and
the adequacy of those facilities including acceptable levels of
service." The administrative r~gulation that implements the
statues defines the phrase "level of service" as "...an indicator
of the extent or degree of service provided by... a facility
based on and related to the operational characteristics of the
facility. Level of service shall indicate the capacity per unit
of demand for each public facility." (Section 9J-5.003 (41),
Florida Administrative Code).
CIE-I-3
174
GOAL 1:
To provide adequate public facilities concurrent with
n~w development in order to achieve and maintain or
exceed adopted standards for levels of service.
OBJEClT~ES AND IKIL~CIES
PUBLIC FACILITY TYPES, STANDARDS AND NEEDS
OBJECTIVE 1.1:
Identify and define types of public facilities for which the
County is responsible, establish standards for levels of service
for each such public facility, and determine what quantity of
additionil public facilities are needed in order to achieve and
maintain the standards.
Poll=! 1.1.1:
The County shall establish standards for levels of service for
three categories of public facilities, as follows:
Category A public facilities are facilities which appear in other
elements of this comprehensive plan, including arterial and
collector roads, surface water management systems, potable water
systems, sanitary sewer systems, solid waste disposal facilities,
and park~ and recreation facilities. The standards for levels of
service of Category A County provided public facilities shall
apply to development orders issued by the County and to the
County's annual budget, and to the appropriate individual element
of this ¢omprehensi';e plan· The standards for levels of service
of Categcry A facilities which are not County provided shall
apply to developr0ent orders issued by the County and to the
appropriate individual element of this comprehensive plan, but
shall not apply to the County's annual budget.
Category B public facilities are facilities for the County's
library, Jail, emergency medical service, other government
buildings, and dependent fire districts. The standards for
levels of service of Category B public facilities shall apply to
the County's annual budget, but not apply to development orders
issued by the County.
Category C includes those facilities operated by Federal, State,
and municipal governments, independent districts, and private
organizat.~ons. The standards for levels of service of Category C
facilitie:~ shall be advisory only, and shall not apply to to the
development orders issued by the County or the County's annual
budget.
CIE-I-4
175
[33
Public ~acilities shall include land, structures, the initial
furnishings and equipment (including ambulances, fire apparatus,
and library collection materials), design, permitting, and
constru:tion costs. Other "capital" costs, such as motor
vehicle3 and motorized equipment, computers and office equipment,
office furnishings, and small tools are considered in the
County's annual budget, but such items are not "public
facilitles" for the purposes of the Growth Management Plan, or
the issuance of development orders.
Policy 1.1.2:
The quantity of public facilities that is needed to eliminate
existing deficiencies and to meet the needs of future gro~h
shall b~ determined for each public facility by the following
calculation: Q = (s x D) - I.
Q is the quantity of public facility needed,
$ is the standard for level of service,
D is the demand, such as the population, and
I is the inventory of existing facilities.
The calculation will be used for existing demand in
order to determine existing deficiencies. The
calculation will be used for projected demand in order
to determine needs of future growth. The estimates of
projected demand will account for demand that is likely
to occur from previously issued development orders as
well as future growth.
There are three circumstances in which the standards
for levels of ser,,ice are not the exclusive determinant
of need for a public facility:
Calculated needs for public facilities in coastal
high hazard areas are subject to all limits and
Conditions in the Conservation and Coastal
Management and Future Land Use Elements of this
Growth Management Plan.
Replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities,
and repair, remodeling and renovation, will be
determined by the Board of County Commissioners
upon the recommendation of the County ManagQr.
Public facilities that provide levels of service
in excess of the standards adopted in this Growth
Management Plan may be constructed or acquired at
any time as long as the following conditions are
CIE-I-5
,oo 176
the facility does not make financially
infeasible any public facility of the same
type that is needed to achieve or maintain
the standards for levels of service adopted
in this Growth Management Plan, and
the facility does not contradict, limit or
substantially change the goals, objectives and
policies of any element of this Growth
Management Plan.
Any public facility that is determined to be needed as a result
of any of the three factors listed in Section B of this Policy
shall be included in the regular Schedule of Capital Improvements
contained in this Capital Improve.-nents Element. All capital
improve~ents projects for such public facilities shall be
approved in the same manner as the projects that are identified
according to the quantitative analysis described in Section A of
this Policy.
Policy 1.1.3:
The determination of location of improvements to expand public
facilities will take into consideration the projected growth
patterns as identified in the County's annual population
proJectl,:ns. Where applicable, public facility improvements will
bo coordinated with the capital facility plans of any other
governmental entity providing public facilities within Collier
County.
Policy 1.1.4
Public facility improvements within a category are to be
considered in the following order or priority:
Replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities,
including repair, remodeling and renovation of
facilities that contribute to achieving or maintaining
levels of service.
New facilities that reduce or eliminate existing
deficiencies in levels of service.
New facilities that provide the adopted levels of
service for new growth during tho next five fiscal
years, as updated by the annual review of the capital
improvements element. In the event that the planned
capacity of public facilities is insufficient to serve
all applicants for development orders, tho capital
improvements will be scheduled in the following
priority order to serve:
[35
previously approved orders permitting
r edeve lop~ent,
previously approved orders permitting new
development,
3. new orders permitting redevelopment, and
4. new orders permitting new developments.
De
Improvements to existing facilities, and new facilities
that significantly reduce the operating cost of
providing a service or facility.
New facilities that exceed the adopted levels of
service for new growth during the next five fiscal
years by either:
prcviding excess public facility capacity that may
be needed by future growth beyond the next five
fiscal years, or
providing higher quality public facilities than
are contemplated in the County's normal design
criteria for such facilities.

2. FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY
~ 1.2:
Provide publ£c facilities in order to maintain adopted level of
service standards that.are within the ability of the County to
fund, or within the County's authority to require others to
provide. Existing facility deficiencies measured against the
adopted level of service standards will be eliminated with
revenues generated.by ad valorem taxes and intergovernmental
revenues received based on economic activity. Future development
will bear a proportionate cost of facility improvements
necessitated by growth. Future development's payments may take
the form of, but are not limited to, voluntary contributions for
the b~nefit of any public facility, impact fees, dedications of
land, provision of public facilities, and future payments of user
fees, special assessments and taxes.
Policy 1.2.1:
The estimated capital expenditures for all needed public
facilities shall not exceed conservative estimates of revenues
from sources that are available to the County pursuant to current
law, and which hay, not been rejected by referendum, if a
referendum is required to enact a source of revenue.
Policy ).2.2=
Existing and future development shall both pay for the costs of
needed public facilities. Existing development shall pay for
so~e or all facilities that reduce or eliminate existing
deficiencies, s~e or all of the replacement of obsolete or worn
out facilities, and may pay a portion of the cost of facilities
needed by future development. Both existing and future
development may have part of their costs paid by grants,
entitlements or public facilities from other levels of government
and independent districts.
Policy 1.2.3:
Public facilities financed by County enterprise funds (i.e.,
potable water, sanitary sewer and solid waste) may be financed by
debt to be repaid ~! user fees and charges for enterprise
services, or the facilities may be financed from current assets
(i.e., reserves, surpluses and current revenue).
Policy 1.2.4:
Public facilities financed by non-enterprise funds (i.e., roads,
surfaco water management, parks, library, emergency medical
service, Jail, other government bulldinus, and dependent fire
districts) shall be financed from current assets (pay-as-you-go
financinq) except as otherwise provided in this policy. Public
facilities financed by non-enterprise funds shall not be financed
by debt unless such borrowing is the only financing technique
available that will enable the County to provide facility
capacity sufficient to meet standards for levels of service
CIE-I-13
,oo,, 034,,,,.: 184
tql.
concurrent with new development. Debt financing shall not be
used to provide excess capacity in non-enterprise public
facilities unless the excess capacity is an unavoidable result of
a capital improvement that is needed to achieve or maintain
standards for levels of service. Notwithstanding other provisions
of this policy, general obligation bonds approved by referendum
may be used for any public facilities to acquire capacity needed
within the five year capital improvement plan or for excess
capacity.
Policy 1.2.5:
The County shall not provide a public facility, nor shall it
accept the provision of a public facility by others, if the
County i~ unable to pay for the subsequent annual operating and
maintenance costs of the facility.
Policy 1.2.6.
Prior to fiscal year 1989-90 the County shall adopt a revised
Road Impact Fee Ordinance requiring the same level of servic~
standard as adopted in policy 1.1.5 of this element in order to
assess n~w development a pro rata share of the cost~ required to
finance ~ransportation improvements necessitated by such
development.
Policy 1.2.7
The County shall continue to collect impact fees for Parks and
Recreation and Library facilities requiring the same level of
service standard as adopted in policy 1.1.5 of this element in
order to assess new development a pro rata share of the costs
required to finance Parks and Recreation and Library improvements
necessitated by such development.
Policy 1.2.8:
Prior to fiscal year 1989-90 the County shall adopt a Stormwater
Runoff Utility Fee system in order to fund drainage facility
lmprove,~nts.
Policy 1.2.9:
The County shall place a referendum before the voters to
institute general obligation bonds for drainage and park
improvements.
Policy 1.2.10:
If, for any reason, the County cannot adopt one or more of the
revenue ~ources identified in policies £.2.6 through 1.2.9 of
this Element and said revenue sources are identified as needed
funding for speciflc projects within the adopted Schedule of
Capital Improvements the Growth Management Plan shall be amended
based on one or more of the following actions:
CIE-I-14
ae
Remove through a plan amendment facility improvements
or ne~ facilities fro~ the adopted Schedule of Capital
Improvements that exceed the adopted levels of service~
for the growth during the next five (5) fiscal years;
Remove from the adopted Schedule of Capital
Improvements through a plan amendment facility. '"
improvements or new facilities that red~ce the
operating cost of providing a service or facility but
do not provide additional facility capacity;
Ce
Where feasible, transfer funds from a funded Non-
Capital Improvement Element capital project in order to
fund an identified deficient Capital Improvement
Element public facility. The resulting revisions shall
be reflected in the required annual updates.
Lower the adopted level of service standard through a
plan amendment for the facility for which funding
cannot be obtained.
Do not issue development orders that would continue to
cause a deficiency based on the facility's adopted
level of service standard.
Policy 1.2.11:
Collier County will not exceed a maximum ratio of total general
governmental debt service to bondable revenues of 13%. Whereas
Florida Statutes place no limitation on the application of
revenues to debt service by local taxing authorities, prudent
fiscal management dictates a self imposed level of constraint.
This polity will provide bonding capacity sufficient to meet the
needs identified in the Capital Improvement Element Financing
Plan. Bondable revenues are defined as ad valorem taxes and
State shared revenues, specifically, gas taxes and the half-cent
sales tax. The Local Option Sales Tax Surcharge would also be
included [f it ~hould be adopted by the Collier electorate to
fund additional projects for expanded levels of service. The
£nterpriBe Funds operate under revenue bonding ratios set by the
financial markets and are, therefore, excluded from this debt
policy.
Public Expenditures ~ Coastel High Hazard Area
OBJECTIVE 1.3 =

amendments thereto, appropriate land development regulations will
be adopt, ed and the following programs will be implemented to
ensure that the goals, objectives and policies established in the
Capital Improvements Element will be achieved or exceeded.
Building Permit Review.
;~ part of the review of all applications for building
permits, the County will determine whether or not there will
be sufficient capacity of Category A public facilities to
meet the standards for levels of service for the existing
pop]lation and for the proposed development in accordance
with the requirements of the Concurrency Management System.
Development Order Review·
As part of the review of requests for all development orders
having negative impacts on Category A Public Facilities
oth{~r than building permits, the County will determine
whether or not sufficient capacity of Category A public
facilities ~s planned for completion concurrent with tho
lmp4cts on levels of service that will be created by the
pro;oecd development during the next five fiscal years.
Impact Fee~.
Impact fee ordinances will require the same standard for the
level of service as is required by Policy 1·4.
Annual Budget.
The annual budget will include in its capital appropriations
all projects in the Schedule of Capital Improvements that
are planned for expenditures during the next fiscal year.
Semiannual Report.
The ~andatory semiannual report to the Department of
Co~m~nity Affairs concerning amendments to the comprehensive
plan due to emergencies, developments of regional impact and
selected small developments will report on changes, if any,
to adopted goals, objectives and policies in the Capital
Improvements Element·
Upda:e of Capital Improvement Element.
The ~nitoring of and adjustments to the Capital Improvement
Elem~mt to meet the changing conditions must be an ongoing
proclass. Beginning in April of each year, the element will
be u~ated in conjunction with the County's budget process
and the release of the official BEBR population estimates
and projections. The update will include:
Revision of population projections
Updates of facility inventory
CIE-I-41
034 ,,;: 212
e
U~date of unit costs
Update of facilities requirements analysis to project
10 year needs (by fisc&l year) in order to program
projects to meet the service standards.
Update of revenue forecasts in order to evaluate
financial feasibility and the County's ability to
finance capit~l improvements needed to meet the service
standards.
Revise and develop capital improvement projects for the
next five years. The first year's schedule of projects
will be incorporated into the County's budget effective
October 1st.
Update of the public school and health facilities
analysis.
In addition to the annual update, the County will perform an
assessment of the status of the Capital Improvement Element in
November of each year in conjunction with the release of the
preliminary BEBR population estimates and projections. This
analysis will include an assessment of the status of capita],
projects funded during the prior fiscal year along with an
assessment of existing and projected service levels versus the
adopted standards.
Concurrency Management System.
The County shall establish by Ordinance and maintain a
Concurrency Management System. The System shall consist of
the following components:
Annual monitoring report on the capacity and levels of
service of public facilities compared to the standards
for levels of service adopted in Policy 1.1.5. of this
Element. The report shall summarize the actual
capacity of existing public facilities and forecast the
capacity of existing and planned public facilities for
each cf the five succeeding fiscal years. For the
purposes of long range capital facility planning, a ten
year forecast of projected needed capacity will also be
done. These forecasts will be based on the most
recently updated Schedule of Capital Improvements in
this Capital Improvement Element. This annual report
will constitute the evidence of the capacity and levels
of service of public facilities for the purpose of
issuing development orders during the 12 months
following completion of the annual report.
Public facility capacity review. The County shall use
the procedures specified in Implementation programs 1
and 2 to enforce th~ requirements of Policy 1.3.5. of
this Element.
CIE-I-42
034,,:: Z13
Ce
Review of changes in planned capacity of public
facilities. The County shall review each amendment to
this Capital Improvement Element in particular any
changes in standards for levels of service and changes
in the Schedule of Capital Improvements in order to
enforce the policies of this Element.
Concurrency Management implementation strategies. The
County shall annually review the Concurrency Management
implementation strategies that are incorporated in this
Capital Improvements Element:
Standards for levels of service are applied within
appropriate geographical areas of the County.
Standards for county-wide public facilities are
applied to development orders based on levels of
service throughout the County.
Standards for public facilities that serve less
than the entire County are applied to development
orders on the basis of levels of service within
assigned areas.
Levels of service are compared to adopted
Standards on an annual basis. Annual monitoring
is used, rather than case-by-case monitoring, for
the following reasons:
ao
annual monitoring corresponds to annual
expenditures for capital improvements during
the County's fiscal year; and
annual monitoring covers seasonal variations
in levels of service.
8. 5-Year Evaluation.
The required 5-year evaluation and appraisal report will address
the implem~ntation of the goals, objectives and policies of the
Capital Improvement Element. The monitoring procedures necessary
to enable ~he completion of the 5-year evaluation include:
Review o~ Annual Reports of the Concurrency
Management System.
Review of Semiannual Reports to DCA concerning
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
Co
Review of Annual Updates of this Capital
Improvements Element, including updated supporting
documents.
