A. Update on the Lot Coverage Ordinance [Caroline Cilek,Jack McKenna]
Stan Chrzanowski, Chairman of the Subcommittee provided the Slideshow "Proposed
Revisions to the Impervious Area Provision in the LDC Development Services Advisory
Committee - Land Development Review Subcommittee Winter 2012—Spring 2013 Prepared
May 1, 2013." He noted the report will be presented to the Planning Commission for
consideration. The following is recommended:
• The Golden Gate Estates should be allowed 15% impervious surface. If impervious
surface is greater than 15%, the property owner shall provide stormwater retention on
the property as compensation.
• For other areas, 45% allowable impervious surface for lots with an area of 11,000 sq.
ft. or less, and an additional 15% impervious surface for lots with an area greater than
11,000 sq. ft.
• Any lot which is adjacent to a water body which is suitable to receive the run-off
from the subject property does not need to provide retention.
Jerry Kurtz reported the existing regulations are more applicable to the Pine Ridge Road and
Naples Park areas where it is characterized by high density developments.
The proposed changes would not exacerbate stormwater conditions in the Golden Gate Estates
area as the issue is more "timing"related as the existing canal system does not have the capacity
to handle the large runoff produced during some storm related events.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to bring back an amendment, providing for a five percent reduction, to the
Collier County Administrative Code Fee Schedule of building permit processing, review and
inspection set fees as provided for in The Code of Laws and Ordinances,Section 2-11.
OBJECTIVE: To have the Board of County Commissioners (Board) direct the County Manager
or his designee to bring back an amendment to the Collier County Administrative Code Fee
Schedule, decreasing all flat building permit development-related processing, review and
inspection fees by five percent, as provided for in The Code of Laws and Ordinances, Section 2-
11.
CONSIDERATION: At the County Manager's direction, and consistent with Board policy, the
Growth Management Division has continued to promote a business friendly environment that
focuses on best management practices and efficiencies. The planning and regulation section of
the Growth Management Division, has effectively rolled out new initiatives that endeavor to
make us the most responsive regulatory agency within the State of Florida. Balancing the fee
structure and level of service is part of that process.
On April 9, 2013, Item 11D, the Board approved an increase to the number of full time
equivalent associates within the Growth Management Division, Planning and Regulation section.
At that time, staff was also in the process of preparing the FY 2014 proposed budget for Board
consideration. The County Manager, under communications, also discussed the prospect of
evaluating a fee reduction. With Board consensus to move forward, staff evaluated the impacts
of a fee reduction on the proposed budget, level of service and anticipated reserve levels. The
management team has evaluated the budget implications and is pleased to report that a five
percent reduction in Fund 113 set fees will not adversely impact levels of service, fund reserves
or the ability to completely eliminate the fund's debt obligations in FY 2014. The proposed
reduction includes a five percent decrease in all flat building permit development-related
application, processing, review, and inspection fees effective August 1, 2013. Fees calculated
from square footage valuations are not included within this fee reduction proposal.
This proposal is intended to show the community that Collier County is open for business and we
are committed to providing an efficient regulatory agency that can effectively balance service
levels and fees. The proposed five percent reduction is anticipated to give back approximately
$500,000 annually to the development industry we serve. The fee schedule is continuously
monitored recognizing changes in the market and will be adjusted accordingly.
FISCAL IMPACT: This decrease in all flat building permit development-related application,
processing, review, and inspection fees is anticipated to reduce revenues in Fund 113
approximately $83,000.00 in Fiscal Year 2013 and $500,000.00 in Fiscal Year 2014.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no growth management impacts.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item raises no legal issues at this time, and requires
majority vote for Board approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: To have the Board of County Commissioners direct the County
Manager or his designee to bring back an amendment to the Collier County Administrative Code
Fee Schedule on July 9, 2013 with an effective date of August 1, 2013, decreasing all flat
building permit development-related review and processing fees by five percent, as provided for
in The Code of Laws and Ordinances, Section 2-11.
