CHANGE: This amendment proposes to amend the conditional and prohibited uses within the
Imrnokalee Main Street Overlay(MSOSD). First,to apply the current prohibited commercial uses
identified in the MSOSD to only properties with frontage on Main Street in between First Street and
Ninth Street(Light Blue- Dotted area on Figure 1). Secondly,to allow the current prohibited uses
identified in the MSOSD to become conditional uses for properties with frontage on North First
Street, South First Street, and North Ninth Street(Yellow-Highlighted areas on Figure 1).

A. Re-roof permits [Jonathon Walsh]
Inspection Codes
Mr. Long provided a copy of the revised inspection requirements noting some sections have been
expanded to include more detailed categories (i.e. Structural,Mechanical and Pool Inspections). The

performed"and it would be prudent for a qualified engineer to provide a certification.
