Chapter 1. Introduction
A. Purpose and Intent
Collier County's Land Development Code(LDC)is the principal regulatory tool for implementing the County's
Growth Management Plan(GMP).The LDC contains the standards and criteria that development must meet in the
County.To ensure that all growth meets these standards,there are specific approval procedures for the various
forms of development,ranging from simple,single-lot residences to large,multi-phased planned developments.
The Administrative Code consolidates and identifies the procedures for approval to develop under the LDC.
The Administrative Code for Land Development, hereafter referred to as the Administrative Code, is divided into
14 chapters. Each chapter comprises a genre of land use petitions or permits. Each Chapter is organized
alphabetically to provide for ease of use. Cross references are provided for related land use petitions or permits
where appropriate.The following list provides a breakdown of the Administrative Code by chapter:
• Chapter 1 contains the intent of the Administrative Code and how to it is to be amended.This chapter
also outlines Collier County's Reviewing Agencies and the Common Procedural Steps and Information
necessary to submit and process a land use petition or permit.
• Chapter 2 contains the land use petitions which are processed through a legislative procedure.
• Chapter 3 contains the land use petitions and permits which are processed through a quasi-judicial
procedure.
• Chapter 4 contains the land use petitions and permits which are processed administratively by the Growth
Management Division.
• Chapter 5 contains the applications for the creation and completion of a subdivision.
• Chapter 6 contains-applications for waivers,exemptions,and reductions to LDC standards.
• Chapter 7 contains supplementary submittal requirements for land use applications.
• Chapter 8 contains information relating to public notice requirements for land use petitions.
• Chapter 9 contains the procedures for the Office of the Hearing Examiner.
• Chapter 10 identifies where to find current information.
• Chapter 11 contains contact information.
• Chapter 12 contains commonly used acronyms in the Administrative Code and the LDC.

application fee is required at the time of the meeting.Applicants must complete a Pre-Application Request Form,
or fill out the form on-line at http://apps2.colliergov.net/portal. The Planning&Zoning Department will contact
the applicant within 2 working days to schedule a pre-application meeting. Pre-application meetings are held in
the Growth Management Building in order to allow all appropriate County review staff to attend. Applicants may
bring an agent(s)or another person they wish to have present at the meeting.
At the pre-application meeting County Staff will review the proposed request,discuss the contents of application
packet,indicate which submittal items are required,and the number of plans required for submittal. The
submittal requirements vary by application type,so applicants are encouraged to hold off on completing the
application packet until after the pre-application meeting. At the pre-application meeting,County Staff members
will provide the applicant Pre-Application Meeting Notes,which outline the requirements discussed at the
meeting.
Issues to discuss
The Planning&Zoning Department,review staff,and the applicant may discuss the following issues at the pre-
application meeting:
1. The general nature of the proposed development.
2. Changes to the proposed development which need to conform to the LDC,the Growth Management
Plan,or other County policies.
3. The review procedures that will apply, including the public hearing process,if applicable,the
approximate length of the development review,and the approval process.
4. Federal,State,and local agencies that may review,comment,or require permits for the proposed

Collier County Land Development Code J Administrative Procedures Manual

At the pre-application meeting,the Planning&Zoning Department will provide the applicant a checklist of
submittal requirements discussed at the meeting.The applicant and the Planning&Zoning Department staff may
discuss other issues as needed.
Required Documentation
Unless further specified in the Administrative Code,the applicant should bring a conceptual plan of the project,
aerial photographs of the property,and preliminary environmental data,depending on the type of application.
4. Completeness and Processing Letter
Prior to the submittal of the application,the Business Center will determine if the application is complete and that
the materials identified on the Pre-Application Meeting checklist and notes are included with the application. If
the application is incomplete,the applicant must obtain all of the requirements prior to the submittal of the
application. The Business Center will not accept or process an incomplete package.
Once the application has been accepted by the County and the fees have been paid,the application has begun
processing and the applicant will receive a Processing Letter.This letter identifies the petition number, (i.e.
PL201200000)and the assigned planner/project manager.The petition number should be noted on all future
correspondence regarding the application.The letter is generally received within 10 days of submittal.
5. Staff Review
Once the application has been processed,County Staff will review the application to determine whether the
application is sufficient or insufficient in one or more areas. This is considered the"first set of review comments"
by County Staff.The purpose of this review is to ensure that the application complies with the standards for
approval and/or the findings of fact pursuant to the LDC.This review is also designed to prevent the application
from unnecessary delays in the process. If the application is insufficient,the Planning&Zoning Department will
notify the applicant of the deficiencies through the review comment process.
For administrative applications,County Staff,acting on the behalf of the County Manager may approve or deny the
application based on the criteria provided in the LDC.While the Planning&Zoning Department is the agency that
is primarily involved in administering and enforcing the Growth Management Plan and the LDC,other State or
regional agencies may be responsible for certain types of applications.
6. Advisory Board or Agency Review
If the petition requires review by the EAC, Planning Commission,BCC, BZA,the Hearing Examiner,or other advisory
County board or agency,County Staff prepares a specialized report for each Board.For example,a Staff Report for
the Planning Commission contains information identified in the application,whether the project is consistent with
the Growth Management Plan,an analysis of the request,legal considerations,recommendations by the County,
and any recommendations of another reviewing body.
If the application is to be reviewed by the BCC,Staff prepares an Executive Summary which is a condensed version
of the Staff Report and includes recommendations of the EAC,if applicable,and the Planning Commission.
7. Open and Closed Applications
An application is considered"open"when the Processing Letter has been provided to the applicant and/or agent.
The Planning&Zoning Department assigns an open application and petition processing number.
An application is considered"closed"when the petitioner withdraws the application through written notice or
ceases to supply necessary information to continue processing,or otherwise actively pursue the application for a
period of 6 months,unless the particular process assigns a different time period. A closed application will not
receive further processing and is considered withdrawn.The Planning&Zoning Department will notify the

Collier County Land Development Code I Administrative Procedures Manual
Chapter 1 I Introduction

does not eliminate the"closed"status of an application.
The applicant can reopen a closed application by submitting a new application and repaying the application fees.
Further review of the request is subject to the then current LDC.
8. Pre-Construction Conference
The Pre-construction conference applies to all development projects that include infrastructure improvements,
including but not limited to:site development plans(SDP),site development plan amendments(SDPA),site
improvement plans(SIP),plans and plats(PPL),plans and plat amendments(PPLA),and construction plans
(CNSTR).

submit to the Business Center an affidavit that the plans and documents approved by Collier County are consistent
with those approved by all State and Federal agencies. The Engineering Services Department shall contact the
applicant to schedule a pre-construction conference.The applicant shall bring all approved County plans and
permits and copies of all State and Federal permits for the project to the meeting. At the meeting,the applicant

affected utilities are encouraged to attend the meeting.
