OBJECTIVE: To obtain the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approval of the proposed 2015
Land Development Code(LDC)Amendments Cycle 2 in order to serve the best interest of the public.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Board approved a tentative prioritized list of LDC amendments for the 2015
LDC Amendments Cycle 2 on July 15, 2015. The LDC Amendments have been prepared and vetted for
adoption. The following categories briefly describe each amendment.
Board Directed Amendment:
• To address the compatibility of charter schools and in particular, to require review by the County of
the potential transportation impacts of the school.
Privately Initiated Amendment:
• This amendment proposes to amend the conditional and prohibited uses within the Immokalee 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.
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. This
amendment was submitted by the Immokalee CRA and follows Board direction on December 8,
2015, Item 16.B.1.
Amendments Providing Flexibility:
• Modify when and where preserve signs are required to be installed, including providing exceptions
when abutting other preserves and a reduction in the number of signs when preserves abut lake
maintenance easements.
• Allow existing buildings that are subject to the architectural standards of the LDC the ability to make
architectural modifications through the Site Development Plan Insubstantial Change (SDPI) approval
process.
• Provide a new administrative process for Immokalee Nonconforming Mobile Home Parks and Sites
to become legally recognized uses. The process applies to properties where mobile homes were
previously allowed or are currently allowed by the LDC. The application, titled the "Existing
Conditions Site Improvement Plan," requires applicants to demonstrate the existing conditions of the
site and meet fire safety criteria. Once approved, mobile home owners will have the ability to replace
mobile home units with a building permit issued by Collier County.
Clarification and Scrivener's Error Amendments:
• Correct various scrivener's errors, incorrect and missing cross-references, and remove a duplicate
Packet Page -24-
7/12/2016 9.B.
permitted use in C-5 Zoning District.
• Replace outdated references to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 with references to the
North American Vertical Datum of 1988.
• Clarify when preserves are to be identified on a site plan or conceptual site plan for approval.
• Replace outdated level of service standards for potable water and sanitary sewer-wastewater
treatment facilities with a cross-reference to the Growth Management Plan's Capital Improvement
Element level of service standards. These standards will be updated through the Annual Update and
Inventory Report(AUIR)and Water-Wastewater Master Plan approval process.
• Correct conflicts between criteria established in the administrative minor after-the-fact encroachments
provisions.
Miscellaneous Amendments:
• Introduce a new LDC section to establish minimum parking standards for centralized mail delivery
locations in residential neighborhoods to be consistent with the United States Postal Service delivery
policies.
• Establish standards for temporary special events on private property, including a new provision for
temporary market events. The amendment also reorganizes the time frames for temporary events for
ease of use.
Advisory Board Review and Approval
County staff has worked with community members and advisory boards to develop and publicly vet the
proposed amendments. Specific public comments are included within the respective LDC Amendments.
Beginning in the fall of 2015, LDC amendments were presented and reviewed by the Development
Services - Land Development Review Subcommittee, the Development Services Advisory Committee,
and the Planning Commission. Amendments that impact the Immokalee area were also shared with the
Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). The privately initiated amendment changing
permitted and conditional uses in the Main Street Overlay within Immokalee was presented and approved
on April 20, 2016, by the Immokalee CRA Advisory Board. The amendment amending the
nonconforming mobile home site standards was shared with the Immokalee CRA Advisory Board at their
May 18, 2016 meeting for informational purposes.
All amendments were approved by the Planning Commission on Wednesday, May 25, 2016, during a
special nighttime hearing. Please see the Summary Sheet, Attachment 1, for all advisory board
recommendations,review, and approval dates.
Board Review
This amendment cycle proposes changes that amend the actual list of permitted, conditional, or prohibited
uses of land within several zoning categories. Pursuant to LDC section 10.03.06 K, these amendments
require two Board hearings, with at least one hearing held after 5:00 p.m., unless by supermajority vote
the Board elects to conduct the hearing at another time of day. On May 10, 2016 the Board waived the
nighttime hearing requirement(Agenda Item 16.A.19).
This amendment was advertised for the June 28, 2016 Board meeting; however, at the meeting, the Board
directed staff to continue the item to the July 12, 2016 meeting. This is the first required advertised
hearing, and the second advertised hearing will be held at a later date.
COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning
Commission reviewed the LDC Amendments on April 21, May 5, and May 25, 2016. The Planning
Commission unanimously approved the LDC Amendments during a special nighttime hearing on
Wednesday,May 25,2016.

RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve the proposed amendments in the 2015 LDC
Amendments Cycle 2, direct staff as to any changes, and to bring the Ordinance back for adoption in

A. Rural Agricultural District (A). The purpose and intent of the rural agricultural district (A)
is to provide lands for agricultural, pastoral, and rural land uses by accommodating
traditional agricultural, agricultural related activities and facilities, support facilities related
to agricultural needs, and conservation uses. Uses that are generally considered
compatible to agricultural uses that would not endanger or damage the agricultural,
environmental, potable water, or wildlife resources of the County, are permissible as
conditional uses in the A district. The A district corresponds to and implements the
Agricultural/Rural land use designation on the future land use map of the Collier County
GMP, and in some instances, may occur in the designated urban area. The maximum
density permissible in the rural agricultural district within the urban mixed use district
shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained in the future land use
element of the GMP. The maximum density permissible or permitted in A district shall
not exceed the density permissible under the density rating system. The maximum
density permissible in the A district within the agricultural/rural district of the future land
use element of the Collier County GMP shall be consistent with and not exceed the
density permissible or permitted under the agricultural/rural district of the future land use
element.

uses that are allowable as accessory or conditional uses in the rural
agricultural district (A).

2.03.02 Residential Zoning District
A. Residential Single-Family Districts (RSF-1; RSF-2; RSF-3; RSF-4; RSF-5; RSF-6). The
purpose and intent of the residential single-family districts (RSF) is to provide lands
primarily for single-family residences. These districts are intended to be single-family
residential areas of low density. The nature of the use of property is the same in all of
these districts. Variation among the RSF-1, RSF-2, RSF-3, RSF-4, RSF-5 and RSF-6
districts is in requirements for density, lot area, lot width, yards, height, floor area, lot
coverage, parking, landscaping and signs. Certain structures and uses designed to
serve the immediate needs of the single-family residential development in the RSF
districts such as governmental, educational, religious, and noncommercial recreational
uses are permitted as conditional uses as long as they preserve, and are compatible
with the single-family residential character of the RSF district[s]. The RSF districts
correspond to and implement the urban mixed use land use designation on the future
land use map of the Collier County GMP. The maximum density permissible in the
residential single-family (RSF) districts and the urban mixed use land use designation
shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained in the future land use
element of the Collier County GMP. The maximum density permissible or permitted in
the RSF district shall not exceed the density permissible under the density rating
system, except as permitted by policies contained in the future land use element.
1. The following subsections identify the uses that are permissible by right and the
uses that are allowable as accessory or conditional uses in the residential
single-family districts (RSF).

SUBSECTION 3.___. AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 2.03.03 COMMERCIAL ZONING
DISTRICTS
Section 2.03.03 Commercial Zoning Districts, of Ordinance 04-41, as amended, the Collier
County Land Development Code, is hereby amended to read as follows:
2.03.03 - Commercial Zoning Districts
A. Commercial Professional and General Office District (C-1). The purpose and intent of
the commercial professional and general office district C-1 is to allow a concentration of
office type buildings and land uses that are most compatible with, and located near,
residential areas. Most C-1 commercial, professional, and general office districts are
contiguous to, or when within a PUD, will be placed in close proximity to residential
areas, and, therefore, serve as a transitional zoning district between residential areas
DRAFT 6/27/16
Page 14 of 57
Words struck through are deleted, words underlined are added
and higher intensity commercial zoning districts. The types of office uses permitted are
those that do not have high traffic volumes throughout the day, which extend into the
evening hours. They will have morning and evening short-term peak conditions. The
market support for these office uses should be those with a localized basis of market
support as opposed to office functions requiring inter-jurisdictional and regional market
support. Because office functions have significant employment characteristics, which are
compounded when aggregations occur, certain personal service uses shall be permitted,
to provide a convenience to office-based employment. Such convenience commercial
uses shall be made an integral part of an office building as opposed to the singular use
of a building. Housing may also be a component of this district as provided for through
conditional use approval.
1. The following uses, as identified with a number from the Standard Industrial
Classification Manual (1987), or as otherwise provided for within this section are
permissible by right, or as accessory or conditional uses within the C-1
commercial professional and general office district.
a. Permitted uses.

17. Educational plants. and public schools subject to LDC section
5.05.14.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
B. Commercial Convenience District (C-2). The purpose and intent of the commercial
convenience district (C-2) is to provide lands where commercial establishments may be
located to provide the small-scale shopping and personal needs of the surrounding
residential land uses within convenient travel distance except to the extent that office
uses carried forward from the C-1 district will expand the traditional neighborhood size.
However, the intent of this district is that retail and service uses be of a nature that can
be economically supported by the immediate residential environs. Therefore, the uses
should allow for goods and services that households require on a daily basis, as
opposed to those goods and services that households seek for the most favorable
economic price and, therefore, require much larger trade areas. It is intended that the C-
2 district implements the Collier County GMP within those areas designated
agricultural/rural; estates neighborhood center district of the Golden Gate Master Plan;
the neighborhood center district of the Immokalee Master Plan; and the urban mixed
use district of the future land use element permitted in accordance with the locational

criteria for commercial and the goals, objectives, and policies as identified in the future
land use element of the Collier County GMP. The maximum density permissible in the
C-2 district and the urban mixed use land use designation shall be guided, in part, by the
density rating system contained in the future land use element of the Collier County
GMP. The maximum density permissible or permitted in a district shall not exceed the
density permissible under the density rating system.
1. The following uses, as identified with a number from the Standard Industrial
Classification Manual (1987), or as otherwise provided for within this section are
permissible by right, or as accessory or conditional uses within the C-2
commercial convenience district.
a. Permitted uses.

25. Educational plants. and public schools subject to LDC section
5.05.14.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
C. Commercial Intermediate District (C-3). The purpose and intent of the commercial
intermediate district (C-3) is to provide for a wider variety of goods and services intended
for areas expected to receive a higher degree of automobile traffic. The type and variety
of goods and services are those that provide an opportunity for comparison shopping,
have a trade area consisting of several neighborhoods, and are preferably located at the
intersection of two-arterial level streets. Most activity centers meet this standard. This
district is also intended to allow all of the uses permitted in the C-1 and C-2 zoning
districts typically aggregated in planned shopping centers. This district is not intended
to permit wholesaling type of uses, or land uses that have associated with them the need
for outdoor storage of equipment and merchandise. A mixed-use project containing a
residential component is permitted in this district subject to the criteria established
herein. The C-3 district is permitted in accordance with the locational criteria for
commercial and the goals, objectives, and policies as identified in the future land use
element of the Collier County GMP. The maximum density permissible in the C-3 district
and the urban mixed use land use designation shall be guided, in part, by the density
rating system contained in the future land use element of the Collier County GMP. The
maximum density permissible or permitted in the C-3 district shall not exceed the
density permissible under the density rating system.

D. General Commercial District (C-4). The general commercial district (C-4) is intended to
provide for those types of land uses that attract large segments of the population at the
same time by virtue of scale, coupled with the type of activity. The purpose and intent of
the C-4 district is to provide the opportunity for the most diverse types of commercial
activities delivering goods and services, including entertainment and recreational
attractions, at a larger scale than the C-1 through C-3 districts. As such, all of the uses
permitted in the C-1 through C-3 districts are also permitted in the C-4 district. The
outside storage of merchandise and equipment is prohibited, except to the extent that it
is associated with the commercial activity conducted on-site such as, but not limited to,
automobile sales, marine vessels, and the renting and leasing of equipment. Activity
centers are suitable locations for the uses permitted by the C-4 district because most
activity centers are located at the intersection of arterial roads. Therefore the uses in the
C-4 district can most be sustained by the transportation network of major roads. The C-4
district is permitted in accordance with the locational criteria for uses and the goals,
objectives, and policies as identified in the future land use element of the Collier County
GMP. The maximum density permissible or permitted in a district shall not exceed the
density permissible under the density rating system.
1. The following uses, as defined with a number from the Standard Industrial
Classification Manual (1987), or as otherwise provided for within this section are
permissible by right, or as accessory or conditional uses within the general
commercial district (C-4).

E. Heavy Commercial District (C-5). In addition to the uses provided in the C-4 zoning
district, the heavy commercial district (C-5) allows a range of more intensive
commercial uses and services which are generally those uses that tend to utilize
outdoor space in the conduct of the business. The C-5 district permits heavy
commercial services such as full-service automotive repair, and establishments
primarily engaged in construction and specialized trade activities such as contractor
offices, plumbing, heating and air conditioning services, and similar uses that typically
have a need to store construction associated equipment and supplies within an
enclosed structure or have showrooms displaying the building material for which
they specialize. Outdoor storage yards are permitted with the requirement that such
yards are completely enclosed or opaquely screened. The C-5 district is permitted in
accordance with the locational criteria for uses and the goals, objectives, and
policies as identified in the future land use element of the Collier County GMP.

6. Nonconforming Mobile Home Site Park Overlay Subdistrict. Establishment of
special conditions for these properties which by virtue of actions preceding the
adoption of Ordinance No. 91-102, on October 30, 1991, were deemed to be
nonconforming as a result of inconsistencies with the Land Development Code,
and are located within the Immokalee Urban Boundary as depicted on the
Immokalee Area Master Plan.
a. Purpose and intent. The purpose of these provisions is to recognize that
there are nonconforming mobile homes on properties parks in the
Immokalee Urban Area and to establish a process to provide property
owners an official record acknowledging the permitted use of the property
and render existing mobile homes, and other structures, as lawful. to
provide incentives to upgrade these parks while requiring the elimination
of substandard units, and to allow park owners to take advantage of
alternative development standards in order to cause some upgrading of
conditions that would normally be required of conforming mobile home
parks. Travel trailers, regardless of the square footage, are not permitted
as a permanent habitable structure. Travel trailers, regardless of the
square footage, are not permitted as a permanent habitable structure
and may not seek relief under this section. Properties that cannot meet
the requirements may pursue an agreement with the Board of County
Commissioners to establish compliance with this LDC section 2.03.07
G.6.
b. Application requirements. Property owners shall file an application as
provided for in the Administrative Code, Chapter 4, Section I.3.a –
Immokalee Nonconforming Mobile Home Sites - Existing Conditions Site
Improvement Plan and shall only be subject to the criteria, requirements,
and process expressly stated in the Administrative Code and this LDC
section.
c. Criteria for review. The following criteria shall apply to the existing
conditions site improvement plan approval process and shall be reviewed
by the County Manager or designee.
i. Minimum separation requirements shall be consistent with State
Fire Marshal Rule 69A-42.0041 Fire Separation Requirements.

Page 25 of 57
Words struck through are deleted, words underlined are added
ii. The District Fire Official shall provide written confirmation that
either an existing fire hydrant or a supplemental apparatus,
provided by the Fire District, is adequate for fire protection.
iii. National Fire Codes, 501A-11, Chapter 6, 6.1.1 Site Plan (6.1.1
through 6.1.2).
d. Density. Once the existing conditions site improvement plan is approved,
owners may replace mobile home units with an approved building
permit at sites shown on the site plan. Replacement units may be larger
than the removed unit, so long as the minimum separation standards
established in LDC section 2.03.06 G.6.c.i are met.
i. Where properties currently exceed the density allowed for by the
zoning district, the approved existing conditions site improvement
plan shall establish the maximum density on the property which
shall not exceed the density of the property as depicted on the
Property Appraiser aerial maps dated before February 2016. All
lots and units shall be consistent with the approved existing
conditions site improvement plan.
ii. Where the zoning district allows for additional density, new
mobile home units may be added and shall be identified on the
site plan. New mobile homes shall be subject to the dimensional
standards established in LDC section 4.02.33.
b. Required site improvement plan application. The property owners of all
nonconforming mobile home developments/parks that were in existence
before November 13, 1991, i.e., that predate Ordinance No. 91-102, the
land development code, shall be required to submit a site improvement
plan (SIP) meeting the standards set forth below by January 9, 2003 or
thereafter within the time frame set forth in an order of the Code
Enforcement Board finding a violation of this section, or by the date set
forth in a Compliance or Settlement Agreement entered into between
Collier County and a property owner acknowledging such a violation and
also establishing the date by which such violation will be cured through
the SIP submittal process set forth below.
c. The site improvement plan (SIP) master plan shall illustrate the way
existing buildings are laid out and the infrastructure (i.e. utilities, streets,
drainage, landscaping, parking and the like) to serve those buildings. The
DRAFT 6/27/16
Page 26 of 57
Words struck through are deleted, words underlined are added
number and location of buildings shall be reviewed for consistency with
Code requirements (i.e. setbacks, space between buildings, density, and
the like). Similarly, the SIP shall serve to provide a basis for obtaining
approval of required infrastructure improvements such as those
referenced herein. The approved SIP showing all of the above shall
become the official record acknowledging the legal use of the property.
Failure to initiate this process within the time frames set forth above, will
result in a Code violation in which the property owner will be required to
immediately remove all mobile homes which have not received a building
permit and all mobile homes deemed to be unsafe and unfit for human
habitation, and otherwise contrary to the county's housing code unless
otherwise prohibited by state law.
d. For the specific requirements concerning the SIP submission referenced
in b. and c. above, see Section 10.02.05 F. of this Code.
