5. Review of materials
a. PUD Master Plans
Section 5.05.08.B of the proposed standards applies to commercial zoning districts, commercial
components of PUD districts and business park districts. The Committee previously discussed
how commercial components of a PUD should be addressed, especially those with private facilities
that may be accessible to the public (golf course pro shops, community clubhouses, etc.).
Staff provided an example of a PUD Master Plan identifying the various land use components and
their relation to the Section 5.05.08.B—Applicability.
Discussion occurred on:
• Should commercial components of a PUD be exempted from the standards?
• Are mixed use buildings such as those with commercial uses on the first floor and
residential uses on the second floor a"commercial component"of a PUD? If so how
should they be addressed?
• How to address, if necessary, private community clubhouses or other facilities accessible
to the public?
• Should the standards apply to maintenance facilities (i.e. golf course maintenance
building) of a PUD?
Staff reported some of these items may be addressed during the PUD application process outside
of Section 5.05.08. They will review this process and report back to the Committee
Staff reported they will be eliminating any references to the term "collector street"as it is not
defined in the Land Development Code.
b. Discussion regarding definitions in section 5.05.08 C.2 Primary facade standards
2
December 5, 2014
The following items were discussed:
• Staff reported the terms such as plaza, entry plaza, courtyard, entry courtyard, entryway,
monumental are referenced in the standards and need to be defined—Staff will review
proposed definitions including those referenced by Merriam-Webster and report back to
the Committee.
• A concern that the proposed primary façade menu items do not sufficiently provide options
for glazing. Because the applicant is required to select two of the menu items, projects
could select menu items that do not require any additional glazing and the project would
only meet the minimum 10%glazing requirement.
• Where numeric values are identified should they be quantified in relation to a given space?
An example is Section 5.05.08D.2.c.iii where the 200 sq. ft. requirement is the same for a
5,000 sq. ft. building and a 20,000 sq. ft. building. It was noted multi tenant buildings do
have percentage requirements based on square footage of the building.
c. Application examples
Staff presented the following examples of applications and their relation to the existing or
proposed standards for information purposes:
Existing Buildings
Photographs of Walmart on US41/Immokalee Road, Dicks Sporting Goods, Arthrex, Chick-Fil-A
on Airport Road, Culvers. These buildings were constructed under the current standards and Staff
provided an overview of how the requirements were applied to improve the aesthetic quality of the
structures, or where there may be deficiencies. An example was also provided of a Walmart in
North Carolina.
Proposed Renovation—Walmart 3451 Tamiami Trail East
The owner is proposing a 31,000 sq. ft. (24.9%of the existing floor area)addition to the existing
structure. It currently has 3 primary facades and the project is required to comply with the current
requirements of 5.05.08. Under the proposed standards,the renovation would not be subject to the
requirements.
Proposed renovation—Existing Appliance Store
Existing structure is 12,000 sq. ft. in floor area and is proposed to be converted to office space.
The proposed renovation is subject to the existing standards but would not be subject to the
proposed standards. The building is pre-existing, and the owner cannot comply with all the
requirements of the existing standards so the application is being processed under Section
5.05.08.F (Deviations and Alternate Compliance). The end result will be an improvement in the
overall appearance of the building.
Conversion of Existing Gas station to 6,000 sq.ft.to grocery store
3
December 5, 2014
The owner is proposing interior renovation and exterior façade changes. The application is subject
to the existing standards given they are renovating interior space greater than 25 percent of the
overall floor area. The changes would be exempt from the proposed standards.
Applicability of Courtyards Interior to a Building
Mr. Schiffer submitted the following language for consideration—Section 5.05.08.B.4.c—
"Facades located interior to courtyards and shopping malls and the like provided the façades are
not visible from any public property(e.g. street, right-of-way, sidewalk, alley), interior drive,
parking lot or adjacent private property. " He recommended it be incorporated into the proposed
standards.
d. Cross-references
Ms. Cilek provided the document"Cross References to 5.05.08" for informational purposes.
e. Clean copy of 5.05.08
Ms. Cilek provided an updated draft copy of"LDC Amendment Request-Land Development
Code Section 5.05.08"with strikethrough-underline removed. She requested the Members to
review the document and provide comments as necessary. She reported Staff will:
• Consider how private maintenance facilities are to be addressed in the standards.
• Continue developing the requirements for existing buildings that would be deemed non
conforming under the proposed standards.
• Request the County Attorney's Office review the document to provide comment.
• Identify any items in the proposed standards where Staff will be requesting a formal
recommendation("vote') by the Committee.
• Review Section 5.05.08.C.2 to determine if any revisions should be incorporated into the
Section regarding"glazing"requirements.
• Identify any other items in the proposed standards where Staff requires clarification on the
Committee's intent.
Adoption Process
Ms. Cilek reported once the Committee has completed its review and provided a recommendation,
the proposed Amendment will be considered by other Committees/Boards as follows:
1. Development Services Advisory Committee(DSAC)—Land Development Regulation
Subcommittee -she requested at least one member of the Committee be present for the
meetings to address any questions which may arise.
2. DSAC.
3. Collier County Planning Commission.
4. Board of County Commissioners.
She noted Staff will be developing a means to notify the Committee on any changes proposed by
those parties who review the proposed Amendment.
