Mini Triangle Sub-Area
Draft
November 12, 2018
MINI TRIANGLE SUB-AREA
Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA –DraŌ November 12, 2018 1‐1
1.0
Mini Triangle Sub-Area
The Mini Triangle Area, and parƟcularly the CRA‐owned parcels in this area (see Map 1), has been idenƟfied as a
catalyst site for redevelopment in the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA area of Collier County since the 2000 CRA
Master Plan. As part of the current Redevelopment Plan update process, an addiƟonal task was added to provide
more detailed planning for the Mini Triangle site and its surroundings. The general goals of this effort were to
idenƟfy:
A more specific vision for the overall area
Challenges and opportuniƟes for development
Steps towards implementaƟon of the vision
This planning effort relied on mapping analysis, regulatory research, interviews with relevant government
agencies, and a workshop with development stakeholders in the area.
These efforts generated a list of issues/opportuniƟes for the area in three categories:
development vision, ‐ informed by regulatory condiƟons in the area and private development efforts
public resources/assets—resources or assets that are publicly owned and maintained such as roads, water
mains, and stormwater infrastructure
structure/process consideraƟons—related to how efforts will be carried out, including roles of different
agencies/stakeholder, associaƟons that may be formed, and funding mechanisms
Map 1: Mini Triangle Area
MINI TRIANGLE SUB-AREA
Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA—DraŌ November 12, 2018 1‐2
1.0
In addiƟon to the Mini Triangle Area itself, the project
team also considered the enƟre Triangle area enclosed
by US 41, Davis Boulevard, and Airport‐Pulling Road as
an area that might be parƟcularly affected by
development in the Mini Triangle Area (Area of
Influence, see Map 1); as a result, findings and
recommendaƟons in relaƟon to Mini Triangle
development span the enƟre Triangle.
The following provides the issues/opportuniƟes
idenƟfied with a corresponding recommendaƟon for
CRA acƟon; many recommendaƟons correspond to
and can be coordinated with areas of focus and
strategies idenƟfied in the general Redevelopment
Plan (see the referenced Redevelopment Plan secƟon
aŌer each recommendaƟon).
Recommendations
Development Vision
Issue/Opportunity 1: There are opportuniƟes to
incenƟvize needed improvements, such as walkability,
shared parking, aggregaƟon of lots, transiƟonal land
use elements, and stormwater improvements.
RecommendaƟon: Establish the following incenƟves:
Shared signage
Parking requirement reducƟon
IncenƟvizing density pool units for desired
development
Stormwater credits
Impact fee relief
Allowing more live/work uses; this type of unit
might be useful to promote in the commercial
area east of Commercial Dr.
Allowing mixed use around Shadowlawn/US 41
Related redevelopment Plan SecƟon: 3.4
Issue/Opportunity 2: There are opportuniƟes to
increase local circulaƟon by creaƟng a connecƟon
through the Mini Triangle area to Commercial Drive
and a possible re‐alignment of Brookside Drive with
Commercial Drive; (see Map 3) these improvements
will likely be accomplished through the private
development process.
RecommendaƟon: Facilitate interacƟons between
private developers and public agencies to realize these
improvements.
Related Redevelopment Plan SecƟon: 3.4
Issue /Opportunity 3: There is a need for limitaƟons on
heavier commercial uses that may be incompaƟble
with the overall long‐term development vision of the
area.
RecommendaƟon: Establish LDC provisions to limit
uses incompaƟble with the overall vision through
design criteria.
Related Redevelopment Plan SecƟon: 3.2
Issue /Opportunity 4: With more intensive commercial
development in the Mini Triangle Area and possible
secondary development stemming from it, there will
likely be a need for land use and structural transiƟons
between commercial and residenƟal uses, as well as
any markedly different building heights in exisƟng
development, in the Triangle area.
RecommendaƟon: IncenƟvize mixed use development
and more dense residenƟal in the transiƟon zones and
along their borders with the residenƟal/insƟtuƟonal
area idenƟfied on Map 2. Promote use of the fence
and wall funding grant for structure‐based transiƟon
elements.
Related Redevelopment Plan SecƟon: 3.2
Issue/Opportunity 5: Special provisions may be needed
for the less intensive commercial redevelopment east
of Commercial Drive to facilitate a transiƟon between
the Mini Triangle commercial and residenƟal areas to
the east.
MINI TRIANGLE SUB-AREA
Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA –DraŌ November 12, 2018 1‐3
1.0
RecommendaƟon: Establish a special voluntary overlay
east of Commercial Drive for the commercial
structures that could consider:
soluƟons for limited exisƟng parking, including on‐
street parking as part of roadway improvements
and shared parking soluƟons
a concept or typologies template aligned with
desired development on sites of 1‐3 acres
relocaƟon assistance for uses that are less
compaƟble with the long‐term development vision

Subject: Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA Plan Update, Mini Triangle Sub‐Area Assessment Memo ‐
DRAFT
Date: November 13, 2018
1.0 Introduction & Process
The Mini Triangle area (see Map 1‐1) has been identified as a catalyst site for redevelopment in the
Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA area of Collier County since the 2000 CRA Master Plan. As part of the
current Redevelopment Plan update process, an additional task was added to provide more detailed
planning for the Mini Triangle site and its surroundings. The general goals of this effort were to identify:
A more specific vision for the overall area
Challenges and opportunities for development
Steps towards implementation of the vision

This additional planning effort relied on mapping analysis, regulatory research, and meetings with
agencies and stakeholders, the results of which are detailed in the remaining sections of this memo.
2.0 Context
Understanding the context of the site helps illustrate its importance for redevelopment. The Mini
Triangle area is approximately 14.3 acres, and the CRA owns a site of about 5.35 acres that is zoned as
the Mini Triangle Mixed Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD), now under contract to be sold to Real
Estate Partners, International.
A key aspect of the Mini Triangle site is its location (see Map 2‐1). It is at the heart of the urbanized area
of Collier County and is surrounded by destinations that draw regional, national, and even international
visitors. These destinations include Downtown Naples, Naples area beaches, Sugden Regional Park, East
Naples Community Park that hosts the annual U.S. Open Pickleball Championships, the Naples Botanical
Garden, and the Naples Municipal Airport. The Collier County government center is also nearby.
The area has good regional access being located directly on two major arterial roadways, Davis
Boulevard and US 41, however local vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian connectivity is a challenge.
Additionally, there is a mix of land uses within the larger Triangle area between US 41, Davis Boulevard,
and Airport‐Pulling Road that will require careful transitions from the catalyst and corridor commercial
development to the single‐family residential neighborhood and school in the eastern section of the
Triangle.

3.0 Background
This section covers existing conditions of public resources/assets, regulatory conditions, and proposed
development for the Mini Triangle and more general Triangle areas. Public resources/assets refer to
publicly owned resources such as roadways, water infrastructure, and stormwater infrastructure. The
information provided is based on technical analysis and research, as well as interviews with related
Collier County staff.
Existing Public Resource/Asset Conditions
As noted, the larger Triangle area in which the Mini Triangle are is located is surrounded by larger
highway and arterial roads with significant right‐of‐way (see Map 3‐1). The roads inside the Triangle are
generally collector and neighborhood streets.
Map 3-1: Right‐of‐Way Widths in the Triangle Area

The 2014 Collier MPO Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Study identified segments of Airport‐Pulling Road
and US 41 as high volume and high/moderate severity crash roadways. A follow‐up road safety audit
was conducted in 2015 along these roadway segments. Table 3‐1 provides the issues and
recommendations identified for US 41 along the entire corridor of study or at key intersections near the

Mini Triangle.
In terms of implementation of these items, there are projects programmed in the latest FDOT
Transportation Improvement Program along Davis Boulevard (resurfacing) and US 41 (resurfacing and
signal timing). The Davis project is anticipated to begin in November 2018, which is likely too soon to
incorporate any additional community considerations for the project. The US 41 resurfacing project is
preparing to begin the design phase. Additional funded improvements on US 41 will include some
intersection safety improvements at US 41/Commercial Drive/Palm Street, among other locations (see
Figure 3‐1). Correspondence with a local FDOT representative indicated general support for a potential
Complete Street project on US 41 and Davis Boulevard; next steps might involve the formation of a
community vision for the streets and funding for FDOT review of these concepts.

Other notable transportation recommendations for roadway segments near the Mini Triangle include a
recommendation from the 2017 City of Naples Downtown Mobility and Connectivity Plan to narrow the
lanes and remove the shoulder across the Gordon River Bridge to increase the bicycle and pedestrian
pathway to 14 feet on either side of the travel lanes (see Figure 3‐2). If implemented, the responsible
agency would be FDOT. Correspondence with a local FDOT representative indicated support for the
general idea of the Gordon River Bridge adjustments.

Regarding other infrastructure, there are water mains overlapping with the Mini Triangle area that need
to be upgraded to meet standard fire flow requirements determined by the City of Naples potable water
model (see Map 3‐16 of the Redevelopment Plan). These upgrades will occur as matching funds to those
of the City become available for upgrades (such as Community Development Block Grants). These
improvements will likely continue on a project‐by‐project basis. However, interviews with the Greater
Naples Fire District indicate that the entire CRA area has an Insurance Service Office (ISO) rating of 4 (on
a scale of 1‐10 with 1 being the best and 10 being the worst rating); the District typically assigns values
of 4, 9, or 10. This indicates that the fire rating in the area is relatively good.
Regarding stormwater, one of the major pieces of stormwater infrastructure in the area is a retention
pond equipped with pumps. The Triangle area had a stormwater master plan completed in 2009 to
identify improvements, yet this will need to be updated.
Regarding wastewater, interviews with Collier County Utility Planning, Wastewater, and Engineering
staff indicate that additional wastewater capacity will be needed with the approved amount of
development coming online. Staff recommends one large upgrade (as opposed to incremental) to
increase capacity for the basin area applicable to the Triangle, which is generally north of US 41 and
south of Davis Boulevard.
Existing Regulatory Conditions
The zoning in the Triangle area consists of a base zoning with a mixed use overlay. The existing zoning
for the Triangle as a whole is primarily heavier commercial (C‐4 and C‐5) to the west with a mixed use
overlay and multi‐family residential with a residential mixed use overlay to the east (see Map 3‐2).
Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) are governed by their respective ordinances for zoning (see the
following section for more details on PUDs in the area).
4.02.16(B) of the Collier County Land Development Code (LDC) provides dimensional and design
standards for the Gateway Triangle Mixed Use District overlay (GTMUD).The Mixed Use Subdistrict
(GTMUD‐MXD) allows for a maximum density of 12 units per acre comprised of density from the base
zoning district and density bonuses. The Residential Subdistrict (GTMUD‐R) density is also based on the

underlying zoning and available density bonuses. The allowable density for MFR‐6, one of the most
common zoning categories found in the Triangle area, is six units per gross acre according to 2.05.01(A)
of the Collier County LDC.
Table 3‐2 shows the height standards for the overlay districts in the Triangle area. Note that heights are
zoned heights of buildings and that there are some height exceptions for certain structures (e.g., church
spires, antenna, etc.) in the LDC. Note that Airport Zone height requirements may apply (see Section
4.02.06 of the Collier County LDC and Mini Triangle MPUD discussion later in this section for additional
details).

While the Triangle allows for multi‐family residential in a large part of its residential zoning, there are
barriers to building this type housing due to lot size. The LDC indicates that there is no minimum lot size
for houses and rowhouses in the GTMUD‐R standards. For apartments and civic/institutional uses, the
minimum lots size is 10,000 square feet. Regarding the RMF‐6 base zoning, the minimum lot sizes are
the following:
Single‐Family: 6,500
Duplex: 12,000
3+ units: 5,500 per unit
Based on typical lot size calculations from Florida Department of Revenue parcel files (excluding the
large school lot in the center of the Triangle residential area and parcels south of US 41), the median lot
square footage is approximately 8,086 square feet and the mean is 12,960 square feet. Thus there may
be opportunities to build rowhouses, but the typical lot best reflected by median lot size will not be able
to support apartments, duplexes, or other multi‐family with three or more units based on the standards.
An interview with Collier County zoning staff confirmed the allowable heights and provided additional
information on allowable uses. The service‐provision use of group and transitional housing is allowed in
the Triangle area as a conditional use with distance restrictions of 1,000 feet apart. Staff also noted that
uses that may be incompatible with the overall vision of the Triangle redevelopment could be limited
utilizing design criteria, but should not be removed outright due to potential legal implications.
A final consideration in the regulatory realm are processes to facilitate the provision of housing that is
affordable. At the Board of County Commissioners meeting on October 9, 2018, the Board approved the
following measures (among others) in support of provision of housing that is affordable;
develop a streamlined process for commercial to residential conversions
develop guidelines to incentivize mixed income residential housing with the exception of
Activity Centers and have staff bring back recommendations
develop a process to identify and allow for increased density in Strategic Opportunity Sites
Provide an increase in density in the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) areas and along
transit corridors.
Although the specifics of these measures has not yet been established, they are likely to become
defined in the coming year. These provisions may provide additional development incentives for
residential in the Triangle, and CRA staff should continue to track the policy/regulatory changes.
Existing Development Conditions & Proposed Development for Mini Triangle
The Mini Triangle area currently encompasses 22 parcels with corresponding property owners and
acreages according to the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA and Collier County Property Appraiser shown
in Map 3‐3, with Table 3‐3 showing the top three landowners by acreage. Map 3‐4 shows sales from
2017 and 2018, indicating recent ownership changes in the Mini Triangle area and surrounding

These developments are also working out shared access agreements for access off of US 41.
4.0 Workshop Takeaways
The following were key themes, issues, and opportunities of particular importance discussed during the
workshop:
Infrastructure:
o Improvements to promote health and safety – fire suppression and stormwater
o Maintenance of hydrants (flushing and pumping)
o Maintenance of stormwater drains
o Capacity of existing stormwater pond
Note that historically there were lakes that were filled; current retention pond
has pumps; There was a question about its capacity.
There was a question as to whether the pumps in the pond are active (after the
meeting, the County did confirm that the pumps are active).
o Sanitary sewer capacity
o Undergrounding overhead utilities
Capital projects and investment as a signal to the private sector development community
Local circulation and access:
o Connection through Mini Triangle to Commercial – note that there will be private right‐
of‐way that is publicly accessible in the Mini Triangle site development
o Commercial/Brookside alignment – there is a desire to realign Brookside north of Davis
to make a connection (possibly through a traffic signal) to Commercial Drive. This would
increase auto and bike/pedestrian connectivity, and increase development potential of
parcels north of Davis.
Finding ways to integrate community interests into FDOT improvements for regional
connectivity and access:
o Types of improvements:
Rightsizing road along Davis and US 41 – There may be opportunities through
FDOT to consider a lane elimination. The community will need to articulate a
vision for this change – that is what FDOT is looking for to even consider these
modifications.
Making left turn off of Davis at Davis/US 41 – Currently, an inconvenient u‐turn
is required since vehicles can’t make a left off of Davis at this intersection. This
issue might be something to bring up as a consideration for FDOT
improvements.
o Process and context information needed:
At what point in the FDOT planning/project cycle can the community (or an
entity such as the CRA on behalf of the community) make needs known
Context classifications for surrounding roads
Relocation of heavy commercial: Uhaul is looking to relocate to a site that suits its needs better,
yet there is not a lot of heavier commercial (C‐4 or higher) available in the County any more.
Where there is possibly availability:

o Airport‐Pulling Road
o North of Pine Ridge Road
Neighborhood concerns:
o Avoid “canyon‐izing” the Triangle neighborhood – Transition between uses and
densities, particularly from major corridors to the interior residential uses.
o Communication, particularly with residents who don’t speak English or have computers
o Walkability, sidewalks; support noted for:
Connection of Pine St
Linwood Ave improvements
o Traffic
o Stormwater
o Deliver on projects if funding mechanisms are set up – There is a lack of trust among
many residents.
Communication between CRA and:
o Property owners for convening
o Property owners and commercial brokers looking to sell
o Residents
Association: Evaluate option of creating an association and/or a funding mechanism (e.g.,
commercial MSTU)
Deviations (LDC): deviations can be a process; how can deviations be minimized for things we
want to encourage (and keep for other things where it makes sense)? We want to make sure the
process facilitates the type of development wanted.
Create incentives for:
o Walkability (and not gated communities)
o Shared parking
o Aggregation
o Stormwater improvements
Incentives/allowances:
o Shared signage
o Parking requirements reduction
o Incentivize density pool units for desired development
o Refine flexibility allowed in the overlays; maybe a special voluntary overlay east of
Commercial for the commercial structures:
solutions for limited existing parking
account for transition to residential
provide a concept or typologies template on sites 1‐3 acres
what to do about renters – identify other areas to relocate
o Concern about the potential stormwater fee – What will be the financial impacts?
o Stormwater credits – There is a need to document how credits work.
o Impact Fee relief
o Density
o Allow more live/work; this type of unit might be useful to promote in the commercial
area east of Commercial Dr.
o Allow mixed use around Shadowlawn/US 41

Role of CRA:
o Convening/facilitation of property owners, owners looking to sell, commercial brokers –
There is a need to develop strategies for both general information and specific
opportunities to take advantage of programs and funding mechanisms.
o Facilitation with County/MPO/FDOT – it is important that the CRA take the lead as a
government agency
o Incentives for desired development
o Communication with residents, especially those that are hard to reach
o Investments as a signal to private sector developers
o Facilitation of LDC amendments to facilitate desired development
5.0 Summary of Issues & Opportunities
Public Resources
US 41, Davis Boulevard, and Airport‐Pulling Road provide good regional access to the Mini
Triangle area, yet transportation safety, particularly for bicyclists and pedestrians, is an issue on
roadways such as US 41 and Airport‐Pulling Road. There may be opportunities for Complete
Street improvements along US 41 and Davis Boulevard, which may be facilitated with the
creation of a community vision for these streets and funding for FDOT review of these concepts.
There is a desire for increased walkability at the neighborhood level.
Wastewater infrastructure capacity will need to be increased to accommodate the new
development coming online in the Mini Triangle area.
There is a need to ensure maintenance of infrastructure, including water and stormwater
There is a desire to place underground or relocate overhead powerlines in the Triangle west of
the Pine Street point.
Development Vision
There is an opportunity to capitalize on the locational asset of the Mini Triangle area since it is at
the urban core of Collier County and surrounded by key destinations.
There is a need for land use and structural transitions between more intense commercial in the
Mini Triangle area, less intense commercial east of Commercial Drive and along arterials, and
residential uses, as well as any markedly different building heights, in the Triangle area.
The lot sizes in the residential area of the Triangle may limit the ability to build to allowed
densities, which could help with height transitions.
There is a need for limitations on heavier commercial uses that may be incompatible with the
overall long‐term development vision of the area.
There are opportunities to increase local circulation by creating a connection through the Mini
Triangle area to Commercial Drive and a possible re‐alignment of Brookside Drive with
Commercial Drive; these improvements will likely be accomplished through the private
development process.
There are new tools in place at the County level to provide further incentives for housing that is
affordable that may be a consideration for future redevelopment in the Triangle area.
There are opportunities to incentivize needed improvement, such as walkability, shared parking,
aggregation of lots, and stormwater improvements. Incentives might include:

o Shared signage
o Parking requirement reduction
o Incentivizing density pool units for desired development
o Refining flexibility allowed in the existing overlays; maybe a special voluntary overlay
east of Commercial Drive for the commercial structures that could consider:
solutions for limited existing parking
the transition to residential uses
a concept or typologies template aligned with desired development on sites of
1‐3 acres
relocation assistance for uses that are less compatible with the long‐term
development vision and renters
o Stormwater credits
o Impact fee relief
o Density
o Allowing more live/work uses; this type of unit might be useful to promote in the
commercial area east of Commercial Dr.
o Allowing mixed use around Shadowlawn/US 41
Structure/Process
There is an opportunity for businesses to create an association to facilitate desired development
in the area, possible for Mini Triangle area and other sub‐areas such as properties along
Kirkwood Avenue. This may also include associations that provide funding, such as a Municipal
Service Taxing Unit.
There is a need to understand the project planning cycles of agencies operating in the area
making capital improvements, such as FDOT/Collier MPO and Collier County capital project
planning; with this information, local area considerations may be better incorporated into the
capital improvements process.
The following are opportunities for the role of the CRA in facilitating development:
o Convening/facilitation of property owners, owners looking to sell, and commercial
brokers to communicate vision and facilitate desired development; there is a need to
develop strategies for both general information and specific opportunities to take
advantage of programs and funding mechanisms.
o Facilitation with County/MPO/FDOT to ensure local community considerations are
integrated into improvements.
o Provide funding and incentives for desired development
o Communication with residents, especially those that are hard to reach
o Making investments as a signal to private sector developers
o Facilitation of LDC amendments to promote desired development

Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA –DraŌ November 12, 2018 1‐1
1.0
17-Acre Sub-Area
The Cultural Arts Village site (known as the “17‐Acre
Site” with an actual size of 17.89 acres, see Map 1‐1) is
a CRA‐owned site in the Bayshore neighborhood
(south of US 41) in the CRA area. This site has been
idenƟfied as an opportunity for major catalyst
development within the CRA area. As part of the
general Redevelopment Plan update process, an
addiƟonal task was added to provide more detailed
planning and visioning for the 17‐Acre Site and its
surroundings. The general goals of this effort were to:
Review exisƟng condiƟons and former
development proposals for the site
Gather addiƟonal community input on the desired
development for the site
Use the informaƟon from the first two items to
recommend access and connecƟvity
improvements, land uses, and incenƟves to
encourage desired development for the site
To realize these goals, this effort relied on mapping
analysis, regulatory and development proposal
research, interviews with public agency
representaƟves, and a community survey.
The following provides a summary of issues/
opportuniƟes idenƟfied with corresponding
recommendaƟons and a concept map summarizing
recommendaƟons (Map 1). Many of the
recommendaƟons correspond to and can be
coordinated with areas of focus and strategies
idenƟfied in the general Redevelopment Plan (see the
Plan secƟon referenced aŌer each recommendaƟon).
Recommendations
Issue /Opportunity 1: The 17‐Acre site neighbors
important green spaces and parks, including Collier
County’s Sugden Regional Park and East Naples
Community Park.
RecommendaƟon: The development of the 17‐Acre
Site should prioriƟze park connecƟvity. ConsideraƟons
include:
Walking and biking connecƟons between the site
and Sugden Regional Park
CoordinaƟon of space and use for parks events;
this aspect may also take into account any effort
to expand the CRA boundary to include the
County parks on its eastern boundary.
Funding for improvements and maintenance on
shared spaces
Ensuring acceptable passive uses on the
conservaƟon easement in the park
Related Redevelopment Plan SecƟon: 3.3
Issue/Opportunity 2: The 17‐Acre Site includes an
important opportunity to incorporate arts‐ and culture
‐oriented development to build on the Cultural District
created by CRA ResoluƟon No. 080‐06. The
community survey indicated a preference for a space
for performing arts and theater, followed by an art
gallery.
RecommendaƟon: Evaluate ability of the site to
support a larger performing arts space/gallery or if
there should be smaller more locally oriented spaces.
Related Redevelopment Plan SecƟon: 3.4
Issue/Opportunity 3: The surrounding land uses and
zoning are highly residenƟal and the community
survey responses did not prioriƟze residenƟal uses on
the site.
RecommendaƟon: The 17‐Acre development should
focus on non‐residenƟal uses, which might include
performing arts space, a new CRA office, or
neighborhood commercial/retail. Any residenƟal
provided on the site should be in the form of mixed‐
use commercial/residenƟal. See built form and
architectural examples on the following pages.

Issue /Opportunity 4: A lack of commercial parking has
been idenƟfied along Bayshore Drive to the north of
the 17‐Acre site and will be a consideraƟon for the
new development on the site itself.
RecommendaƟon: Comprehensive improvements
along Bayshore Drive (“Complete Streets”
improvements) can provide on‐street parking for
businesses. The 17‐Acre Site development effort
should also consider parking opportuniƟes such as a
shared parking garage.
Related Redevelopment Plan SecƟon: 3.5
Issue/Opportunity 5: General connecƟvity to the 17‐
Acre site will be an important consideraƟon as it
develops, parƟcularly for walking and biking among
neighborhood desƟnaƟons.
RecommendaƟon: Complete Streets improvements
can enhance walkability and connecƟvity. These
include improvements along Thomasson Drive, the
roundabout addiƟon at Bayshore Drive/Thomasson
Drive, a potenƟal Complete Streets improvement and
road diet along Bayshore Drive, an evaluaƟon of a
bike/pedestrian easement along the Sugden drainage
ditch, and a Jeepers Complete Street with park
connecƟon. Design improvements may also be done at
key entryway intersecƟons such as Thomasson Drive/
Dominion Drive to visually represent the area and its
branding vision (see Map 1).
Related Redevelopment Plan SecƟon: 3.5
Issue/Opportunity 6: There will likely be a need to
provide incenƟves to incorporate desired community
ameniƟes into the 17‐Acre development.
RecommendaƟon: Tax Increment Finance (TIF) money,
impact fee deferment, and land donaƟon were all
supported as incenƟve opƟons in the community
survey and should be evaluated as incenƟve opƟons
for future development proposals.

Subject: Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA Plan Update, 17‐Acre Site Sub‐Area Assessment Memo ‐
DRAFT
Date: November 13, 2018
1.0 Introduction & Findings
The Cultural Arts Village site (known as the “17‐Acre Site” with an actual size of 17.89 acres) is a CRA‐
owned site in the Bayshore neighborhood (south of US 41) in the CRA area. This site has been identified
as an opportunity for major catalyst development within the CRA area. As part of the general
Redevelopment Plan update process, an additional task was added to provide more detailed planning
and visioning for the 17‐Acre Site and its surroundings. The general goals of this effort were to:
Review existing conditions and former development proposals for the site
Gather additional community input on the desired development for the site
Use the information from the first two items to recommend access and connectivity
improvements, land uses, and incentives to encourage desired development for the site
To realize these goals, this effort relied on mapping analysis, regulatory and development proposal
research, interviews with public agency representatives, and a community survey. The following
provides a summary of findings and recommendations, accompanied by a corresponding concept map
(Map 1‐1) and character images. The remainder of this memo details the background analysis
supporting these conclusions.
Summary of findings and recommendations:
Park connectivity is a key opportunity for development on the 17‐Acre Site. Considerations for
this topic include:
o Walking and biking connections between the site and Sugden Regional Park (see Map 5‐
1)
o Coordination of space and use for parks events; this aspect may also take into account
any effort to expand the CRA boundary to include the County parks on its eastern
boundary.
o Funding for improvements and maintenance on shared spaces
o Ensuring acceptable passive uses on the conservation easement in the park
The 17‐Acre Site includes an important opportunity to incorporate arts‐ and culture‐oriented
development to build on the Cultural District created by CRA Resolution No. 080‐06. The survey
indicates a community preference for performing arts and theater, followed by gallery space; a
broader analysis is needed to determine market demand for a larger space or if there should be
smaller more locally oriented arts spaces.
Given the residentially focused surrounding land uses and the survey responses the de‐
prioritized residential on the site, the site use should focus more on non‐residential. If
residential is incorporated, it should be as mixed use commercial/residential that provides a

gradual transition in terms of densities/intensities and height to residential surrounding areas
that include single‐family neighborhoods.
Parking is a key consideration for Bayshore Drive already to the north of the 17‐Acre Site and
will be an additional consideration for on‐site development. This circumstance provides an
opportunity to evaluate creative parking solutions, such as shared parking, and opportunities for
a garage.
General connectivity to the site will be important and can be enhanced for a variety of
transportation types through Complete Streets improvements along Thomasson Drive, the
roundabout addition at Bayshore Drive/Thomasson Drive, a potential Complete Streets
improvement and road diet along Bayshore Drive, an evaluation of a bike/pedestrian easement
along the Sugden drainage ditch, and a Jeepers Complete Street with park connection. Design
improvements may also be done at key entryway intersections such as Thomasson
Drive/Dominion Drive to visually represent the area and its branding vision (see Map 5‐1).
Incentive types that can be explored for site development include TIF money, impact fee
deferment, and land donation.

2.0 Context
Reviewing the context of the 17‐Acre Site illustrates its importance for catalyst redevelopment. As Map
2‐1 shows, the site is near major destinations, including Sugden Regional Park, East Naples Community
Park where the annual U.S. Open Pickleball Championship is currently held, and the Naples Botanical
Garden. Bayshore Drive is the main roadway providing access to the site, which connects to Thomasson
Drive to the south and US 41 to the north.

3.0 Background
Existing Public Resources/Assets Conditions
Bayshore Drive is a key thoroughfare in the area where the 17‐Acre Site is located. FDOT’s Florida Traffic
Online (https://tdaappsprod.dot.state.fl.us/fto/) which updates traffic counts every April reports the
AADT for Bayshore Drive between US 41 and Thomasson Drive at 13,400. The traffic consideration is
important given the new development coming online, such as Mattamy homes, Isles of Collier Preserve,
and development on the 17‐Acre Site, as well as interest in a potential road diet along Bayshore Drive
from four to two lanes. Note that County processes are in place to ensure that Level of Service is
maintained at acceptable levels as changes and development are proposed.
Additionally, comprehensive beautification and roadway improvements are being implemented along
Thomasson Drive and Hamilton Avenue, with a roundabout planned for the intersection of Bayshore
Drive and Thomasson Drive. These improvements are funded by the Bayshore Beautification Municipal
Service Taxing Unit (see the Existing Regulatory Conditions section below for more details).
Parking has also been identified as an issue for the commercial establishments along Bayshore Drive
north of the 17‐Acre site. A parking needs analysis conducted in 2017 along Bayshore Drive from Weeks
Avenue to Thomasson Drive provided a preliminary evaluation of the road diet concept in conjunction
with the provision of on‐street parking to help meet demand. The study estimated the total number of
existing parking spaces at 511 for businesses and residences. There is no on‐street parking along
Bayshore Drive or side streets, and none of the private parking is available to the public. There are
“auxiliary parking zones” that are rear parking areas that can be acquired by either the CRA or business
owners in the future. The analysis estimated that 131 additional on‐site parking spaces are needed to
service current demands. The study proposed a road diet from four to two lanes that would allow a
Level of Service D to be maintained through 2040 and improve safety and conditions for all users. The
typical section resulting from the road diet to include parallel parking, a traffic lane, and a bike lane in
each direction would accommodate 178 parallel parking spaces (exceeding the amount needed to
service current demand); additional spaces could be added if more driveways were shared.
Improving connections to the surrounding parks is another important consideration for the 17‐Acre Site
area and the broader Bayshore neighborhood south of US 41 in the CRA area. There is currently one
pedestrian connection between Bayshore Drive and East Naples Community Park to the south of the 17‐
Acre Site at Republic Drive. There may be additional opportunities to connect Bayshore Drive to the
parks via other neighborhood streets (e.g., Jeepers), a pedestrian pathway included as part of the 17‐
Acre Site development plan (see the Arno Inc. example formerly proposed for the site), and a potential
bike and pedestrian easement along the drainage ditch running parallel to Bayshore Drive to the east
which would depend on considerations such as available right‐of‐way. This last idea was proposed as a
greenway in the Bayshore Beautification MSTU Master Plan from 2011, but requires further study for
feasibility.
The general idea of interconnecting the 17‐Acre Site to Sugden Regional Park was supported in
interviews with Collier County Parks & Recreation Division staff. This mainly related to passive park
space and active transportation (e.g., walking, biking) connections and space for events. Key

considerations include funding any park upgrades/expansion and maintenance. Parks & Recreation may
have interest in expanding regional park space, but has made plans for the completion of Big Corkscrew
Island Regional Park which will likely be a priority in upcoming capital planning cycles. Connections made
with the park also need to be aware of a conservation easement on the west side of the park that
heavily restricts development in that area, but does allow for some passive uses (see Figure 3‐1).
Figure 3‐1: Conservation Easement at Sugden Regional Park
Note: Easement is shown in green.
Regarding utilities and other infrastructure, Jeepers Drive just south of the 17‐Acre Site and side streets
off of Bayshore Drive to the north are identified as areas that will require water main improvements
(see Section 3.6 of the Redevelopment Plan). Since the entire CRA area currently has an Insurance
Service Office (ISO) rating of 4, one of the highest ratings currently given out in the Greater Naples Fire
District, these improvement needs are not likely to affect development substantially. Stormwater
improvements and drainage are also a major consideration for this area; while a stormwater master
plan was completed for the Bayshore neighborhood in 2011, this plan will need to be updated to better

reflect current stormwater improvement needs and prioritization. According to correspondence with
Collier County Public Utilities Division staff, no major wastewater capacity needs have been identified at
this time in the basin south of US 41.
Existing Regulatory Conditions
Much of the zoning surrounding the 17‐Acre Site in the Bayshore neighborhood is geared towards
residential or some form of open space. The Bayshore neighborhood has base zoning (Map 3‐1) and a
Bayshore Mixed Use District Overlay (Map 3‐2), as well as areas that are zoned PUD. Much of the base
zoning for the area consists of single‐family or multi‐family residential with commercial along Bayshore
Drive. Much of the overlay consists of residential uses (“BMUD” districts with an “R” code) and
neighborhood commercial (“BMUD” districts with an “NC” code) for the areas along Bayshore Drive. The
major PUD sites, aside from that of the 17‐Acre site, include Mattamy homes (a residential PUD),
Windstar (primarily residential with a golf course), the Naples Botanical Garden, and the Sabal Bay PUD
(currently with 938 acres of approximately 2,415 total acres as residential, 50 acres allowing commercial
uses, and 16 acres allowing recreation and village center uses; other uses are primarily preserve).
Further information on the 17‐Acre Site PUD and former private development plans are provided in the
Private Development Efforts section.
The prevalence of residential indicates that a non‐residential or mixed use focus on the 17‐Acre Site
might help achieve some balance of uses in the area. The land use decisions should also consider
transitions between densities, intensities, and height differences.
Additionally, a focus on arts‐ and culture‐oriented development has been identified in the Bayshore
neighborhood with efforts such as CRA Resolution No. 08‐60 that created a cultural district in the area.
This arts and culture focus should be incorporated into the development discussion for the site as well.
The Private Development Efforts section below shows how this was proposed in previous development
plans for the site, and there are further insights from the CRA area community on this type of
development in Section 4.0 of this memo.
In terms of funding roadway and right‐of‐way improvements, it is important to keep in mind that there
is a dedicated funding source for these types of improvements in the Bayshore neighborhood through
the Bayshore Beautification MSTU. The following describes in more detail how these MSTU funds can be
used, according to Collier County Ordinance No. 2013‐68:
The MSTU is created for the purpose of:
1) providing curbing, watering facilities, plantings and maintenance of rights‐of‐way of roadways
within the MSTU; and
2) providing traffic calming improvements, street and pedestrian lighting, sidewalks, driveways and
drainage improvements where a health/ safety /welfare issue exists or are associated with a
beautification project within the MSTU; and
3) identifying the Bayshore community to include directional and way‐finding signs, street furniture
and associated amenities (benches, trash cans, bicycle racks, informational kiosks, etc.) within the
MSTU; and
4) pedestrian and bicycle mobility improvements (multi ‐modal pathways, boardwalks, scenic

Private Development Efforts
Collier County Ordinance No. 12‐21 created the Cultural Arts Village at Bayshore PUD in 2012 for the
17.89‐acre site. It approved a maximum of 40 residential units; 48,575 square feet of commercial land
use (office, retail, and medical office); 84,000 square feet of parking garage; and a 350‐seat theater.
Maximum actual building heights for both commercial use only and residential use only were approved
at 56.0 feet, not to exceed three stories. For mixed use, an actual building height of 72.0 feet was
allowed, not to exceed four stories. Figure 3‐2 provides a use site plan and Figure 3‐3 a pedestrian path
site plan approved as part of the ordinance.
More detailed development proposals for the 17‐Acre Site are currently under reconsideration due to
the lack of financing of the most recent proposal from Arno Inc. Figure 3‐4 shows the site plan for this
proposal, which consisted of a Village component with 32 retail units on the first floor totaling 20,288
square feet and 117 residential units on the 2nd through 4th floors totaling 62,355 square feet. There
were an additional 36 residential condos totaling 18,792 square feet, as well as a 986‐seat auditorium.
584 out of 610 required parking spaces would have been provided, primarily through parking garages.

4.0 Community Survey Takeaways
An online community survey was conducted to gather additional input from the community on their
development vision for the 17‐Acre Site. Key takeaways from this effort include:
The priorities for the community that ranked highest in terms of the 17‐Acre Site were the
provision of a cultural center and connecting to Sugden Park (see Figure 4‐1).
The “other” responses on this topic also prioritized parks/green space and performance arts,
which each showed up in more than 20% of these responses.
Theater and performing arts ranked highly in terms of type of cultural center; art gallery also
scored highly (see Figure 4‐2).
Respondents generally said it was more important to attain the vision/desired use for the site
than get the best price (importance of vision/desired use scored 7.07 on a scale of 0 to 10, while
importance of price only scored 2.77).
Most respondents preferred any residential to be mixed use commercial/residential (see Figure
4‐3).
There was preference indicated for all of the following incentives: Tax Increment Finance (TIF)
money, impact fees, land donation/dictating what happens on the land; each scored
approximately in the 6 to 7 range in terms of how willing respondents were to rely on these
incentives on a scale of 0 to 10 (see Figure 4‐4).
A moderate amount of traffic delay would be acceptable to half of the respondents;
approximately a quarter would accept just a little.

Subject: Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA Plan Update, Case Studies
Date: November 16, 2018
The following case studies illustrate how certain strategies in the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Plan
might be implemented. For each case or related group of cases, the relevant Plan section is noted.
Funding Transitional Structures – Section 3.2
The CRA’s grant programs can provide funding for transitional elements such as fences and landscaping to promote
buffers between incompatible uses. Tampa’s Drew Park CRA, for example, provides up to 50% of project costs up to
$5,000 for decorative fencing meeting certain design standards on commercial properties.
Artist Housing Example – Section 3.4
Artist-Oriented Community Land Trust
A key component of the vision for the CRA area is to foster arts and culture. One aspect of this effort would be to
include providing affordable housing for artists, with a primary focus on for-purchase units. Community land trusts
are a tool that can provide more affordable for-purchase unit prices over the long term. Typically, a non-profit
corporation holds the title of the land and provides a long-term lease to a homebuyer with qualifying income; the
price of the housing for the homebuyer is reduced because he/she is not purchasing the land where the property is
located. The now owner of the home can then resell the property to a new buyer with qualifying income, with a
price based on a formula that allows the seller to build equity but still maintains affordability for the new buyer. In
this way, the subsidized land costs serve multiple homebuyers. Examples of community land trusts in Florida that
have overseen for-purchase units include the South Florida Community Land Trust and the Bright Community Trust
in Pinellas County.
Indianapolis provides an example of how a land trust can cater to artists with its Artist and Public Life Residency
program in Garfield Park. The program was created through a partnership between the Big Car Collaborative (an arts
organization) and Riley Area Development Corporation with support from the Indianapolis Neighborhood Housing
Partnership. The partners bought and rehabilitated 10 vacant houses to sell to artists who apply to buy (part of the
application focuses on how their creative practice will contribute to the community). Big Car and partners retain
51% ownership of the house, and the artists retain 49%. When an artist is ready to sell, Big Car and partners buy
them out and sell the house to another artist at a subsidized price. Artists also are required to engage in certain
community service activities as part of the agreement.

Marketing, Branding, & Communication Examples – Section 3.4
The following examples highlight different types of information, structuring of information, and communication
tools that can be applied to an updated marketing, branding, and information-sharing strategy for the
Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA area.
City of Port St. Lucie
The City of Port St. Lucie was recently recognized by numerous entities for its efforts in marketing and
communication and received an award from the Public Relations Society of America, Sunshine District, for its new
website redesign. The new website includes strong use of visuals and major events, meetings, news, and highlights
embedded directly on its landing page and links directly to social media accounts for the City. For the
Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA, the use of newer technologies should be weighed with the most effective
communication tools for reaching various communities within the CRA. For example, the public outreach process
indicated that some members of the community may respond better to flyers than to social media.
Additionally, the City of Port St. Lucie has been recognized for its brochure graphics and publications such as
“Budget in Brief,” highlighting how graphics and visuals can be used to more effectively communicate technical
information about the jurisdiction.

Gainesville CRA
The Gainesville CRA Annual Report includes highly-visual representations of projects using maps and photos as well
as information on how projects tie back to overall CRA principles (“layers”) and broader themes of connectivity,
scale, authenticity, partnerships, and health and safety. The Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA could adopt a similar
visually-driven approach to its communications and show how projects and development tie back to overall CRA
goals in documents such as an annual report.
Atlanta Beltline
The Atlanta Beltline website (https://beltline.org/) provides an example of how an interactive map can be used to
communicate information. The Beltline’s map includes layers for events and activities, future projects, landmarks,
access points, completed parks, completed trails, and planning areas. A similar approach could be used by the
Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA to highlight events, recent or forthcoming major developments and projects, and
character areas.

Arts Grants Examples – Section 3.4
Tampa Downtown Partnership Space Activation Grant Program
The CRA-funded grant programs could fund murals and other public art, with consideration given to what principles
or guidelines will be used to award funding. This approach has been taken in other jurisdictions. For example, the
Tampa Downtown Partnership has a Public Space Activation Grant Program that provides funds for projects that
enhance “the public realm through sensory experiences (i.e., art, color, sound, food, play, texture, engagement)”.
Projects must meet one of more of the following criteria:
Relationship to the arts
Originality/creativity
Mission/purpose (of the Partnership)
Relationship to Downtown Tampa
Accessibility
Playfulness
Environmental impact
Applications are reviewed by the agency staff and a review committee. Criteria for the grant would need to account
for code criteria to ensure that the efforts of the CRA and Code Enforcement are coordinated and working at cross
purposes.

Tapestries – Lakeland, an Un-Mural Art Exhibition
This exhibition, which will run from November 2018 to January 2020, is commissioning local artists to create 60
paintings on large canvases (up to 10x12 ft) to display on walls as a temporary alternative to murals. Artwork is not
required to have a specific theme, but it must fit the urban environment and be politically and ideologically neutral.
Artists will be paid $10 per square foot, with canvas tapestry and approved paint provided. The exhibition budget is
$50,000, with $10,000 committed by the Lakeland CRA, $10,000 committed by the Lakeland Downtown
Development Authority, and $5,000 committed by Citrus Connection–Lakeland Area Mass Transit District as part of
“Arts in Transit.” Exhibition organizers are seeking $25,000 in additional funding through corporate sponsorship and
crowdfunding. The Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA could fund similar types of public art events through a public art
grant program.

Housing Assistance and Incentives Examples – Section 3.4
Residential Renovation Grant
As noted in the Assessment Memo, the use with the greatest number and share of structures most in need of
upgrades in the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA area are single-family residential units. One form of assistance for
improving these structures as an alternative to redevelopment is to provide funds for structural improvements.
Many CRAs in Florida offer grants, matching grants, or loans for structural improvements of residences. Examples
include the following:
Miami-Dade County, West Perrine CRA, Residential Rehabilitation Program – financial assistance to
qualified resident-owners of detached single-family homes, townhomes, and duplexes in the CRA area for
certain home repairs, including roof and gutter repairs, kitchen and bathroom repairs, etc.; grants are
available in amounts up to $15,000; applicants are expected to provide a match of 50% of the cost of
improvement. Payments are made as reimbursements.
Lakeland CRA, Downtown and Midtown Areas, Fix-It-Up Program – grants geared towards home repairs for
owners of single-family homes, townhomes, and duplexes. Repairs include exterior structure
improvements such as repair of eaves, fences, gutters, etc. Grants are $5,000–$25,000, depending on the
level of repair.
City of Ft. Lauderdale CRA, Northwest-Progresso-Flagler Heights Area, Residential Rehabilitation Forgivable
Loan– loans for owners of single-family residences valued at less than $300,000 and with a household
income of 160% of area median income or less. Loans can be used to for repairs to correct code violations
and address health and safety, including repairs related to electrical, plumbing, roofing, windows,
AC/heating, and structural elements. The maximum award is $75,000, and a cash contribution by the
owner of 10% of the repair cost is required if costs exceed $55,000 (based on costs exceeding that
amount).
In the case of the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA, it is recommended that a program target structural

improvements for single-family homes and include income as an eligibility consideration to ensure that lower
income households are prioritized in receiving support.

Examples of Engagement in Temporary and Tactical Urbanism Events – Section 3.5
“Tactical urbanism” is a term used to describe temporary installations of built environment improvements as a
means of piloting and raising awareness around the improvements. These types of projects and other temporary
events can be used to pilot improvements desired in the CRA area. Engagement with the community to seek
feedback is an important aspect to understand what elements of a temporary improvement did or did not work to
inform any permanent improvements. The following are examples of installations, events, and outreach methods.
Islington Street Lab Project – Portsmouth , NH
Portsmouth Smart Growth for the 21st Century led this five-week tactical urbanism project in coordination with the
City of Portsmouth, the West End Business Association, Mike Lydon (tactical urbanism expert), and several other
partners.
The project focused on a temporary transformation of a section of Islington St, which included the following
elements (numbers correspond to image to the right):
1. Crosswalk
2. Parklet
3. Curb extension
4. Sidewalk boundary definition
5. On-street parking spaces
6. Other elements – signs, greenery, banners, crosswalk striping across curb cuts, markings for cars to share
the road with bicycles (“sharrows”)
Public outreach for the project included public informational meetings and workshops in preparation with Mike
Lydon, an online and paper survey to collect feedback, and meetings and materials to share results of the temporary
installation. The survey indicated support for more temporary demonstrations of this type in the city and for making
some or all of the temporary changes permanent, with support for follow-up low-cost interim installations.
The Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA potentially could use a similar approach in piloting and building awareness
around Complete Street elements (e.g., buffers and on-street parking).

Los Angeles County Metro Open Streets Program
Open Streets events temporarily close streets to auto traffic, allowing for non-motorized transportation
such as biking and walking. Los Angeles County Metro’s Open Streets Grant Program has funded 21
events since 2014 in the greater Los Angeles area. Metro incorporates surveys to gather feedback from
participants, businesses, and volunteers. In the case of a West Hollywood Open Streets event, a City
Council report explains:
As part of the grant processes, Metro is surveying participants, businesses and volunteers at Cycle Two Open
Street events. This data will be used to analyze how Open Street events affect:
Participants’ and businesses perceptions about non-auto oriented transportation
Transit ridership and perceptions
Business sales as compared to a “typical” weekend day
Survey materials that will be used during the events include:
Business Anecdotal Interview (administered on day of event)
Business Owner Economic Benefits Interview (administered within one week of the event)
Participants/Volunteer Anecdotal Interview (administered on day of event)
Participant Metro Rail Survey (administered on day of event)
These types of surveys can be adapted to information the CRA hopes to gather on its temporary improvements and
can also be adapted to online platforms and promoted through regular CRA meetings.

City of West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Sunset Lounge Project
The West Palm Beach CRA worked with the organizations 880 Cities and Better Block to reimagine the local Sunset
Jazz Lounge venue and a nearby vacant lot. The engagement process included:
Meeting with prominent community members to understand concerns about the site and neighborhood to
inform public engagement materials
Including a cultural anthropologist with ties to the community to act as a liaison between the CRA and
community members, building relationships.
Finding opportunities to engage community members where people already gather and at sponsored
community concerts and block parties at the site. During these sponsored events, event organizers talked
with attendees and also set up engaging visuals and interactive displays to gather feedback (such as voting
on items with dot stickers).
Following up with the community to report back findings.
The Bayshore/Gateway Triangle CRA could incorporate interactive displays and discussion approaches to gather
feedback when temporary road improvements are in place, which may include a special concert or event to draw
more people.

Alternative Vehicle Examples – Section 3.5
Electric Shuttles
Tampa, Sarasota, and Naples are examples of jurisdictions that have started using low-speed electric shuttle
systems. Slidr in Naples (https://www.rideslidr.com/) is an electric shuttle service that provides on-demand service
with the use of an app. Rides are free of charge to riders, and costs are offset by advertising opportunities
associated with the service. Note that shuttle vehicles with top speeds of 20–25 miles per hour (mph) are classified
as low-speed vehicles in Florida Statutes, which limits them to roads with speed limits at or below 35 miles per hour
under Section 316.2122 F.S.
Golf Carts
The use of golf carts (motor vehicles created for use on golf courses and not exceeding speeds of 20 mph) on
roadways is governed by Section 316.212, F.S. This statute places limitations on areas and roadways where golf carts
may be operated (with strict limitations for operation on State roads), allowable times of operation, and age of
operator, among other items. It also indicates the necessary equipment needed to operate a golf cart legally.
Section 130.4 of the Collier County Code of Ordinances designates the specific areas in Collier County where golf
carts may be operated, including Goodland and Ave Maria, with additional parameters laid out. A golf cart study and
ordinance are options to pursue in support of golf cart use in the CRA area.

Parking Example – Section 3.5
Downtown Naples
Naples provides free garage parking in its Downtown area. Some garage spaces are sold through an in-lieu fee
system through which Downtown establishments can pay a fee instead of building required parking spaces.
