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 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.

(1987), or as otherwise provided for within this section are permissible by right, or as accessory

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.

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
