RWA is currently working on an update to the Immokalee Area Master Plan for the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in Eastern Collier County. The update will result in amendments to the Collier County Growth Management Plan to reflect the community’s objectives, while fostering economic growth and diversity. The Immokalee area is an agricultural community, far removed from coastal Collier County, with a distinct population, economy, and environmental concerns. Planning efforts for Immokalee must serve to support cultural diversity and focus on further developing existing economic drivers.
The Master Plan Update requires substantial consultation and coordination with Collier County Comprehensive Planning and Immokalee CRA staff, as well as regular meetings with and reporting to the CRA Board and Immokalee Area Master Plan Visioning Committee. It also involves extensive GIS mapping to update and refine Collier County datasets. The new land use plan recommends revised densities and intensities for Immokalee in order to best promote economic development. After the update to the GMP has been completed, changes to the Collier County land development code (LDC) will be prepared in order to fully implement the community vision. The changes will clarify community objectives related to the built environment—land use, aesthetics (architectural guidelines, open space, buffers, planting materials, signage), and parking, among other issues.
Once an effective land use plan and land development code have been developed, a transportation plan, specific to Immokalee, will be created, and a capital improvement plan established to address identified infrastructure needs.
