4. Review Amendments
e. LDC sections 5.04.05 & 5.04.06—Temporary Markets on Private Property (this item was
heard first)
Staff reported the proposed amendment is intended to streamline and consolidate Land
Development Code requirements for temporary events on private property. The changes
include adding use standards; adding provisions for farmers markets, craft fairs, etc.; clarifying
and reorganizing signage requirements and the allowed time frames for events, etc. They
noted temporary events on Collier County owned property are approved through an agreement
with the Board of County Commissioners. There are no changes proposed for the fee schedule.
Public Speakers
Chairman Brooker reported an email was submitted by Joey and Neomi Rakow dated
February 26, 2016,who requested the ability to display 2 signs for markets in order to place a
sign at each entrance to an event. They indicated they supported the 52 days allowed for
markets. They also requested the ability to display one feather banner on the day of the event
only.
Laura Sloat, Shoppes at Vanderbilt Farmers Market addressed the Committee noting 52
event days is favorable. She recommended the County clarify whether event days used for one
type of event impacts the number of days allowed for other events. For instance, would a car
show or music festival, etc. reduce the number of days that a temporary market may operate at
the same location? She indicated she was in favor of licensing for vendors but recommended
the licensing requirements be clarified (including the requirement for business tax licenses
from out of County vendors). She indicated she is also in favor of feather flags. Finally, she
asked how the parking requirements are measured.
Mr. Mulhere moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend the
Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed amendment subject to the following
revisions:
1. Section5.04.05 A.2 line 3 from "...available in certain non residential..."to "available in
non residential..."
2. Section 5.04.05 F.1 —Clarifying the categorization of the certain events (i.e. car shows,
music festivals, etc.).

Market Events.

requirements.
Second by Mr. Foley. Carried unanimously 3—0.
a. LDC sections 1.08.02 & 2.03.01 —Agri-tourism
Staff reported the proposed amendment was directed by the Board of County Commissioners
to establish agri-tourism as a permitted use in Agricultural zoning districts. However, those
agricultural activities utilizing airboats, all-terrain vehicles, horses, off-road vehicles, swamp
buggies, and other off-road excursions or tours which create new trails will be subject to the
Conditional Use process. The States definition for agri-tourism will be utilized for the activity.
Committee discussion occurred on the intended consequences for agricultural parcels in the
urban area and whether a minimum acreage for these parcels should be established.
Staff reported State Statutes prohibit the County from adopting regulations which restrict agri-
tourism on lands zoned for agricultural use. Additionally, currently proposed legislation may
be adopted which would also prohibit the County from enforcing existing regulations on agri-
tourism. The County Attorney's Office notified Staff they should only propose requirements
that are less restrictive than current regulations.
The Committee noted consideration could be given to alter the language in Section 2.03.01
A.l.c.23.vii "The Board of Zoning Appeals shall establish a timeframe for review..." from
"shall"to "may."
Mr. Mulhere moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend the
Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed amendment. Second by Mr. Foley.
Carried unanimously 3—0.
b. LDC sections LDC sections 3.05.04 & 3.05.07—Preserve Signage Requirements
Staff outlined the changes include clarifications on the types, locations, number, size of signs,
etc. and are proposed due to issues raised by Stakeholders.
Mr. Foley moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend the
Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed amendment. Second by Mr.
Mulhere. Carried unanimously 3—0.
c. LDC section 3.05.07—Identification of Preserves
Staff reported the item was reviewed at the 2/1/16 Subcommittee meeting and amended the
language as requested by the Subcommittee.
Mr. Foley moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend the
Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed amendment. Second by Mr.
Mulhere. Carried unanimously 3—0.

d. LDC section 4.05.10—Required Parking for Residential Central Mail Delivery Locations
(A new LDC section)
Staff reported the amendments are proposed as a result of a USPS request to promote
consistent placement of central delivery facilities in residential developments. The standards
include parking, lighting, safety and other requirements to assist residential developers in
designing and locating the facilities.
Committee discussion occurred on the parking requirements of 2 spaces noting in certain
instances they could be too few, or in others too many where people walk to the location. It
may be beneficial to promote flexibility in the requirements based on the proposed location and
anticipated use of the facility.
Staff reported the requirement is a new concept and will consider the recommendation as the
amendment, or future amendments move forward.
Mr. Mulhere moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend the
Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed amendment. Second by Mr. Foley.
Carried unanimously 3—0.
f. LDC sections 5.05.12 and other sections—Amendments to Site Design Standards for
Public Utilities
Tim Hancock and Kelly Blake of Stantec,and Craig Pager of Collier County Public
Utilities presented the proposed amendment noting:
• The issue has come to light as many of the facilities are "aging"and in need of some
type of upgrades. Upgrades to existing facilities are especially problematic and they
need some form of site plan approval and at times cannot meet the current requirements
of the LDC creating a time consuming and create an unnecessary cost burden to the tax
payers.
• The purpose is to streamline, simplify and consolidate Land Development Code
requirements for public utility ancillary systems.
• The proposed changes include removing landscape requirements and relying on the
private property owner to screen and maintain the vegetation if they so desire.
•
• Upgrades to existing facilities are especially problematic ad they need some form of
site plan approval and at times cannot meet the current requirements of the LDC
creating a time consuming process and burden to the tax payers.
• The Site Plan with Deviations process would be available for items not covered in the
proposed amendment.
• The issue has come to light as many of the facilities are "aging"and in need of some
type of upgrades.
Mr. Mulhere moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend the
Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed amendment. Second by Mr. Foley.
