12 Built Environment Goal Development, redevelopment, and construction incorporate energy efficiency and conservation Action Steps: Set green building goals for all types of building. Amend LDRs to include model provisions addressing energy efficiency/conservation in the built environment.

15 Social System Goals HEALTH Affordable & accessible healthcare services provide physical, mental and preventive care Action Steps: Eliminating disparities through coordinated comprehensive health planning approach Participate in Elder Ready Community programs Establish regional health care district
16 Rural Lands Background: Primary land use designations outside USA s and municipalities in all three counties are various-sized sized ranchettes Historically, PUD s and DRI s also allow piecemeal sprawl Annexation by cities increases if ranchettes are the only alternative In order to avoid these outcomes, THREE THINGS must be achieved
17 Rural Lands The Three Things: Ag must be profitable,, and based on the local values that ag provides rather than solely the value of the crops themselves. Incentive programs (TDRs( TDRs,, RLSA, etc) must be used successfully, to retain the development value of ag lands. The combination of future ag profits and the income from incentives must be equal to or greater than the land value for an alternative use.. Otherwise, landowners will be better off selling their land.
18 Rural Lands Action Steps: Use resources created by new development and innovative tools to fund retention of rural lands (TDRs( TDRs,, RLSA, etc.) Partnerships with urban, government, and ag to enhance ag profit Comp plans & LDRs include incentives/ requirements for protection of rural lands (TDR s,, RLSA, etc.) Stronger relationships between urban/rural Stakeholder groups to evaluate progress and pursue new opportunities Establish acreage goals
19 Natural Environment Goal Full implementation of Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) Action Steps: Coordinated regional effort New funding sources, incentive-based mechanisms for land acquisition
20 Natural Environment Goal Adopt land use planning, development regulations, and design standards to support healthy natural systems
21 Natural Environment Action Steps: Use range of existing/new innovative tools as alternatives/supplements to regulatory actions Additional acquisition programs Community stewardship organizations Conservation easements Conservation zoning & development Clustering Planning for new towns & villages Rural Lands Stewardship program Transfer of Development Rights
22 Final Report 100+ pages in length 30+ principles 180+ suggested action steps/recommendations Sustaining Quality Natural Systems Preserving Rural Lands Creating a Sustainable Built Environment Enhancing Access to Education, Health & Cultural Opportunities Achieving Economic Diversity and Prosperity Sustainable Integrating Principles

27 Overview In the Fall of 1999, a three year strategic land planning process was started 195,000 acres of rural agricultural land as a part of Collier County s Rural Land Area Assessment.
28 Analysis of Scenarios Alternative scenarios were compared to a baseline condition Baseline condition limited to agriculture, related uses and 1 unit per 5 acre development
29 Analysis of Scenarios Alternative scenarios were compared to a baseline condition Sustainable mixed use development and land for agriculture and the environment

32 St. Lucie Stewardship Overlay
33 Stewardship Sending Area (SSA) Designation Property owner initiates SSA designation SSAs are perpetually protected by a Stewardship Sending Area Easement SSA Application procedures and process are defined in Land Development Code SSA Designations are approved by the Board of County Commissioners
34 SSAs Generate Stewardship Credits Stewardship Credits are the currency of the RLSA The more environmentally valuable (darker green), and the more uses eliminated, the greater the number of Credits generated. Credits can be transferred to eligible receiving areas Eliminate Uses Residential Conditional Uses Earth Mining Ag Group 1 Ag Group 2 Natural Resources
35 Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA) Stewardship Credits generated from SSA may be used to entitle SRA. SRA Designation Application approved by Board of County Commissioners. The value of development entitlements drives the market value of Stewardship Credits and therefore drives the protection of natural resources, agriculture and heritage.
36 Conserves Adams Ranch Creates a tool to extract value by eliminating development rights without losing value of existing agricultural uses. Creates a tool to protect environmentally sensitive land without public sale or conservation easements. RLSA rewards Adams Ranch for continuing to do what they have historically done, serve as good stewards of their land and continue with best management practices. All these benefits occur without requiring a sale to a public agency, benefiting both the property owner and the local tax base. Retains generational ownership.
37 Promotes a Sustainable Rural Future Sprawl is discouraged; design guidelines foster mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented communities. Fiscal neutrality test ensures growth pays its fair share. Incentives for education, research and public benefit uses. Mixed-use, interconnected streets and trails, on-street parking, and flexible setbacks enable more efficient land development, reducing impacts. Stewardship is embraced by leading planning and environmental organizations and agencies, and is widely regarded as a new tool for sustainable rural development in Florida.
