FLU_Combined 2020 The goal of the Growth Management Plan (GMP) is to establish the vision, framework and policies for future growth in Collier County, while maintaining compliance with the legislative requirements of the State of Florida.

The Growth Management Plan, and the Future Land Use Element and Future Land Use Element Map, may change by private petition, referred to as Growth Management Plan Amendments, to modify a property's land use, density or intensity.

GMP Amendments may be monitored in the GMCD Portal. For instructions and guidance in using the portal to check the status of a GMP Amendment project, go to the How to Use the GMCD Portal page.

Housing Element

The Housing Element helps to create an adequate supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for all residents of the county. With the exception of housing opportunities provided to citizens of very modest means, the provision and maintenance of housing is traditionally a function of the private market. The development of private housing in Collier County is driven by an expensive housing stock; effectively excluding low-income and working class families from the housing market. Thus, there is a need for the county to find ways to encourage the provision of affordable-workforce housing for these families.

Housing Element

Intergovernmental Coordination Element

The Intergovernmental Coordination Element formalizes coordination mechanisms and agreements between adjacent local governments, units of government, regional and state agencies through the coordination of planning strategies, municipal annexation plans, formal and informal coordination mechanisms. Policies pursued by the county may influence decisions or policies followed by municipalities within or adjacent to Collier County, adjacent counties, the District School Board of Collier County, service delivery agencies and the various independent special districts located within or adjacent to Collier County.

Private Property Rights Element

The Private Property Rights Element serves to implement the legislative intent expressed in ss. 163.3161(10) and 187.101(3) that governmental entities respect judicially acknowledged and constitutionally protected private property rights. In considering whether to adopt changes or modifications to the GMP or the Land Development Code, the Board of County Commissioners must weigh the relative importance of many factors, including private property rights.
