Mr. Mulhere moved to approve the minutes of the October 16, 2018 meeting as presented. Second
by Mr. Curl. Carried unanimously 4 – 0.
7. New LDC/Admin Code Amendments:
a. Emergency Generators
LDC SECTIONS TO BE AMENDED 4.02.01 Dimensional Standards for Principal Uses in
Base Zoning Districts; 5.03.07 Permanent Emergency Generators (New Section):
The amendment provides additional flexibility for generator placement by establishing minimum
setbacks from property lines that vary depending on the required yard sizes. The setbacks are
based on the majority of generators being placed within three to four feet from the exterior
house’s wall, provided the wall is one-hour fire rated resistant.
Mr. Henderlong presented the proposed amendment noting:
That the proposed amendment is a Board of County Commissioners (BCC) directive
intended to establish flexibility, address noise, setback, safety and other factors for the
installation of permanent residential generators.
After Hurricane Irma, a number of applications were rejected, due to not meeting setback
requirements; as they are treated as an accessory structure.
The amendment only applies to single-family and two-family residences and site plans
will be required with an application. The amendment excludes temporary and portable
generators
The installation will be required to conform to the manufacturer’s specification as well.
In some instances, carbon monoxide detectors will be required to be installed.
The following was noted during Committee, Staff and Members of the public discussion:
Consideration should be given to defining the uses as “optional standby generators” in
accordance with Building Code and National Electrical Code as the term emergency
generators is utilized for uses such as hospitals, ALF facilities, etc. and the guidelines are
different for these uses – Mr. Henderlong reported staff would consult the Building
Department Manager and the County Attorney’s Office on the request to describe the use
as “optional standby generators.”
December 18, 2018
Page 3
Allowing installation in the front yards may pose an aesthetic concern and consideration
should be given allowing installation only if a suitable side or rear yard location is
deemed unavailable and/or establishing a requirement to screen the equipment.
There was concern on allowing the installation within 2 feet of the right-of-way, and
taking under consideration increasing the distance to at least 5 feet.
If the manufacturer’s specifications change for future installations, expansion of the
existing uses would not be allowed and deemed a non-conforming use.
Clarify the titling in Table 1 to alleviate any possible confusion with the required
setbacks for the side yard.
Consideration should be given requiring a 5-foot setback and screening from a preserve
area or water body for safety and aesthetic reasons.
The amendment could facilitate issuance of those permits previously rejected.
Mr. Foley moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend the Board
of County Commissioners adopt the proposed amendment subject to the following:
1. The words “permanent emergency generator” found in any applicable sections of the
amendment be revised to read “optional standby generator.”
2. Suitable screening be required for the placement of a generator in a front yard.
3. A setback of five feet be required from a right-of-way line.
4. A setback of five feet be required from any waterfront or preserve area.
5. Suitable screening be required for any unit placed on a waterfront.
6. Correct a typo and accept the LDC text changes highlighted in red.
Carried unanimously 4 – 0.
The Subcommittee requested that Staff provide the recommended screening requirements to the
full DSAC when the proposed amendment is presented for consideration.
Mr. Curl left the meeting at 3:02 p.m.
6. Previously Reviewed Amendments
c. Airport Zoning
LDC SECTIONS TO BE AMENDED 2.03.07 Overlay Zoning Districts, 4.02.06 Standards for
Development in Airport Zones, Appendix D Airport Zoning
Ms. Summers provided a Memo dated December 18, 2018 “Re: Airport Zoning LDC
Amendment” for informational purposes. She noted:
That the item was reviewed by the Subcommittee at a previous meeting and no changes
have been incorporated into the proposed amendment since that time.
Staff is requesting that a recommendation on the item as it was previously delayed to
allow updating of the Zoning Atlas Maps, however that activity is a major undertaking
and Staff does not want to complete the activity until they have assurance the proposed
amendment is acceptable to the Board of County Commissioners.
The Master Plan being prepared for the Immokalee Airport may have some impact on the
various tables in the proposed amendment depending on any proposals under the plan.
Mr. Foley moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend the Board
of County Commissioners adopt the proposed amendment. Second by Mr. Mulhere. Carried
unanimously 3 – 0.
a. Residential Lighting
December 18, 2018
Page 4
LDC SECTION TO BE AMENDED 4.02.08 Outside Lighting Requirements:
The amendment requires single-family dwelling, two-family dwelling, or duplex homeowners
who install lights or fixtures having an aggregate of 60 watts or 800 lumens or more to shield or
aim those lights away from abutting residential properties. The amendment does not apply to
lighting on multi-family residential development (three or more units).
Mr. Frantz noted that the item was previously reviewed by the Subcommittee however a
quorum was not available to take action on the item.
Mr. Foley moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend the Board
of County Commissioners adopt the proposed amendment. Second by Mr. Mulhere. Carried
unanimously 3 – 0.
b. Revised Commercial Landscaping Amendment
LDC SECTIONS TO BE AMENDED 4.06.02 Buffer Requirements 4.06.05 General
Landscaping Requirements:
Mr. Frantz presented the proposed amendment.
The amendment makes four modifications to the landscaping requirements for shopping centers
to minimize the impact of mature landscaping being replaced with minimum sized trees:
1. Allows for additional spacing in Type D buffers for improved visibility into shopping
centers.
2. Prohibiting Slash Pine and Bald Cypress in new landscaping plans or existing landscaping
plans proposing removal of trees from the Vehicle Use Area (VUA) or Type D buffer.
3. Limits the large-scale removal or replacement of required trees in the VUA and Type D
Buffer to 50 percent of the required trees within a period of 15 years.
4. Provides an exemption for trees removed through a cultivated tree removal permit, or to
replace diseased or dead trees.
During Committee discussion, the following was noted:
Concern that the requirements limit the owner from addressing on-site safety and
property damage issues.
That the 15-year benchmark for replacement may be too excessive and consideration
should be given to reducing the timeline.
A property owner should be allowed to reasonably address safety and property damage
issues when dealing with changes required for onsite landscaping.
The maximum percent benchmark is also problematic as it restricts the owner from fully
addressing the issues.
Mr. Mulhere moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend the
Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed amendment subject to eliminating the
option for a large-scale removal or replacement of required trees in the VUA and Type D
Buffer on an approved plan within a 10-year period. Second by Mr. Foley.
Mr. Mulhere amended the motion for the Development Services Advisory Committee to not
recommend the Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed amendment however if
the BCC chooses to adopt the amendment, it be subject to eliminating the option for a large-
scale removal or replacement of required trees in the VUA and Type D Buffer on any
approved plan within a 10-year period. Second by Mr. Foley. Carried unanimously 3 – 0.

The Subcommittee noted Mr. Curl’s input will be sought when the item is presented to the
DSAC.
7. New LDC/Admin Code Amendments
b. Separation Requirements for Storage Facilities on U.S. 41
LDC SECTIONS TO BE AMENDED 1.08.02, 2.03.03, 5.05.16, 10.03.06. Definitions
Commercial Zoning Districts, Self-Storage Facilities (New Section), Public Notice and Required
Hearings for Land Use Petitions:
The purpose of this section is to discourage the proliferation of self-storage buildings along the
segment of U.S. 41 defined in section B to encourage a broad mix of principal uses that will
provide goods and services at the neighborhood level to the residents living adjacent to the
defined area. It applies to all new self-storage buildings proposed on real property zoned C-5
and located adjacent to U.S. 41, between the east side of the intersection of U.S. 41 and Airport-
Pulling Road to the west side of the intersection of U.S. 41 and Price Street/Triangle Boulevard.
All outparcels within shopping centers that are adjacent to U.S. 41 within this area shall be
included. A self-storage building is considered existing when it has been constructed or an SDP
has been approved. A new self-storage building shall be located no closer than a quarter-mile
(1,320 feet) to an existing self-storage building, as measured from property line to property line,
unless a waiver to the separation requirement is granted.
Mr. Johnson presented the proposed amendment noting it has been developed as part of a BCC
directive, and an email was received from Michael Fernandez on December 12, 2018, which has
been distributed to the Subcommittee.
The following was noted during Subcommittee discussion:
Clarifying that the measurement for separating self-storage buildings should be based
upon a quarter-mile radius rather than a quarter-mile straight-line, linear approach.
Upon presentation to the DSAC, Staff should provide the zoning map identifying the C-5
area in question.
Mr. Foley moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend the Board
of County Commissioners adopt the proposed amendment. Second by Mr. Mulhere. Carried
unanimously 3 – 0.
Chairman Brooker noted he supported the motion but expressed concern on the concept of
imposing this type of limitation on a specific land use allowed in a zone.
Staff noted they will be responding to Mr. Fernandez’s email.
c. Comprehensive Administrative Code Update 2018 -2019 Administrative Code Updates:
Ms. Summers presented the proposed update noting that it will be presented in sections over the
coming months with today’s item limited to Chapter’s 1 – 3. She provided a brief overview of
the changes noting they mainly address clarifications of items. The changes will be presented in
series before bringing the total updates forth to the DSAC and BCC.
Mr. Mulhere moved to endorse Staff’s recommended changes subject to changing the
language in the Introduction of Chapter 3 to ensure it cites “Quasi-Judicial Procedures” with
a Public Hearing. Second by Mr. Foley. Carried unanimously 3 – 0.
December 18, 2018

7. New LDC/Admin Code Amendments
d. Communication Towers in the RFMUD Sending Lands
LDC SECTION TO BE AMENDED 2.01.03 Essential Services 2.03.08 Rural Fringe Zoning
Districts:
This LDC amendment would ensure compliance with the US Telecommunications Act of 1996
by defining communications towers as an essential service and allowing communications towers
as a conditional use in the RFMUD-Sending Lands.
Staff reported that the item will be heard at a future DSAC meeting since there were no
comments or changes.
e. Gas Station Signs
LDC SECTION TO BE AMENDED, 5.05.05 Facilities with Fuel Pumps, 5.06.00 Sign,
Regulations and Standards by Land Use Classification, 5.06.06 Prohibited Signs:
This amendment is needed due to a recent change to Section 553.79(20)(a)2 of the Florida
Statutes, which prohibits any requirement on gasoline pricing signs that, “prevents the sign from
being clearly visible and legible to drivers of approaching motor vehicles from…any lane of
traffic...” (See Exhibit B).
Staff reported that the item will be heard at a future DSAC meeting since there were no
comments or changes.

BACKGROUND: A segment of the U.S. 41 corridor, generally located between the intersection of
Airport-Pulling Road and Collier Boulevard, has been under much scrutiny in recent years. In April of
2010, the East Naples Foundation completed Vision for the East Trail (“Vision”), which was a privately-
initiated planning effort that resulted in the completion of a strategic plan for an approximately 14-mile
stretch of the U.S. 41 corridor (see Exhibit A).
On December 13, 2016, the Board expressed a concern over certain uses (e.g., self-storage facilities)
from proliferating on U.S. 41 in this area of the U.S. 41 corridor (see Exhibit B). The Board considered
adopting a one-year moratorium for all new applications, including self-storage facilities, from
developing on the commercial properties along U.S. 41, from the Palm Street/Commercial Drive
intersection to the Price Street intersection. However, rather than adopting a moratorium, the Board
instead directed staff on February 14, 2017 to begin the process of developing a corridor study with the
goal of obtaining community input and creating incentives for the desired development types.
In April of 2018, Johnson Engineering, Inc. completed the U.S. 41 Corridor Study-Summary of Findings
and Recommendations to the Board (“Corridor Study”) on behalf of the County (see Exhibit C). The
length of U.S. 41 that was studied was approximately 6.8 miles, which is shorter than the geographic
area used in Vision. With respect to this geographic area, the intersection of U.S. 41 and Palm Street
was the western extent in the Corridor Study, whereas in Vision, it was longer—the intersection of U.S.
41 and Airport-Pulling Road. The Corridor Study’s eastern extent was the intersection of U.S. 41 and
Price Street. Vision extended farther (to County Road 92). The public input portion of the Corridor
Study included three stakeholder outreach meetings and four public input meetings. When reviewing
image preference surveys, 67 percent of the public outreach meetings attendees did not support self-
storage facilities. As such, one of the recommendations of the Corridor Study was aimed at further
regulating this use (see pages 23-24 of Exhibit F). The Corridor Study was presented to and accepted
2
G:\LDC Amendments\Advisory Boards and Public Hearings\DSAC-LDR\2019\Mar 19\Item 4.a (Self-Storage Separation Req)\03-07-2019 - LDC
(DSAC-LDR).docx
by the Board on April 24, 2018 (see Exhibit G). One recommendation suggested having a minimum
distance separation between new self-storage facilities.
For this LDCA and in keeping with the Corridor Study, the proposed language requires a separation of
1,320 feet between new and existing self-storage buildings. A distance waiver may be approved if an
adequate supply of neighborhood goods and services are available within a quarter-mile radius of a new
facility. A quarter-mile radius is equal to a half-mile diameter—the same width of the study area in
Vision, which was chosen, in part, to “evaluate walkability in the form of pedestrian sheds.” The waiver
may also be approved for a self-storage facility if at least 25 percent of its gross floor area is dedicated
to a different principal use that is permitted in the C-1 or C-2 zoning district. Staff utilized the
International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) as a guide to determine the appropriate types of
principal uses and related intensities that most closely aligns with the desired businesses. One ICSC
category, neighborhood center, includes convenience shopping for day-to-day needs with intensities that
are less than 125,000 square feet, which generally translates to any permitted use in the C-1 or C-2
zoning district. Both the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and ICSC are recognized resources that staff uses
when evaluating market studies in connection w ith GMP amendments (to commercial). Petitioners
submit a commercial needs analysis, and part of staff’s evaluation is to compare the market studies with
the ULI and ICSC. Both these resources utilize 30,000 square feet as the low threshold for what
constitutes a neighborhood shopping center. Staff construes neighborhood shopping centers as a logical
place for C-1 through C-3 uses. The geographic area subject to this LDCA does not include the
properties located within the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Area, and this
LDCA is only applicable where self-storage buildings are currently allowed as a permitted use—the C-
5 zoning district.
FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS
Staff anticipates additional fiscal and operational
impacts to petitioners requesting a waiver from the
minimum distance requirement.
GMP CONSISTENCY
This LDCA is consistent with the Growth
Management Plan (GMP) (see Exhibit B). To be

BACKGROUND:
Certain required elements of PUD master plans may be waived when the petitioner demonstrates that
the elements may be waived with no detrimental effect on the health, safety, and welfare of the
community. The waiving of these PUD master plan elements, known as deviations, is provided for
pursuant to Section 10.02.13 A.3.of the Land Development Code (LDC).
When petitioners make frequent deviation requests to certain sections of the LDC, and those requests
are being approved by the Board, it begs the question as to whether staff ought to assess those sections
and update the LDC to reflect current standards and practices. Between January 1, 2003 and July 10,
2018, the Board and the Hearing Examiner reviewed over 100 petitions containing new deviations or
amendments to existing deviations in PUDs. Of all approved deviations during this period, 19 involved
deviations from LDC section 5.06.02, which is signage in residential zoning districts. Of these 19
deviations, nine involved reducing the required setbacks for on-premises directional signs (LDC section
5.06.02. B.5.a.). Because the deviations approved for this LDC section, staff elected to seek direction
from the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC). On February 7, 2019, the CCPC did not have
an issue with staff considering the possibility of updating the LDC.
This LDCA proposes to reduce the required setback for directional signs from roadways, paved surfaces,
or back of curbs on private rights-of-way within PUDs. The new setback is five feet rather than 10 feet.
These signs are typically located on roadways with relatively slower posted speed limits.
FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS
Reduction in the need for and submittal of
deviation requests.

BACKGROUND
Currently, when an applicant submits an application for a Zoning Verification Letter - Comparable Use
Determination, staff reviews the application, makes a determination on the compatibility of the proposed
use and drafts the Zoning Verification Letter (ZVL). Once the ZVL has been completed, the ZVL and
all necessary backup materials will be brought before the Office of the Hearing Examiner or the Board
of Zoning Appeals (BZA) for affirmation.
This current process of generating a ZVL and then going before the Office of the Hearing Examiner or
BZA for affirmation has proven to be confusing for customers. Additionally, staff has requested that the
process have criteria to determine if a proposed use is comparable to the list of permitted uses within
that district.
Both the proposed LDC amendment and Administrative Code amendment removes the Comparable Use
Determination process from the Zoning Verification Letter process and the LDC amendment provides
criteria to make a comparable use determination. This will change staffs method from providing the
determination through a ZVL to now providing their determination through a Staff Report. The Staff
Report will then be affirmed by the Office of the Hearing Examiner or the BZA.
This LDC amendment also removes the comparable use determination process from the list of
conditional uses.
FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS
There are no anticipated fiscal or operational
impacts associated with this amendment.

USES 3
In order to carry out and implement the Collier County GMP and the purposes of this LDC, the 4
following zoning districts, district purposes, and applicable symbols are hereby established: 5
A. Rules for Interpretation of Uses. In any zoning district, where the list of permitted and 6
conditional uses contains the phrase "any other use which is comparable in nature with 7
the foregoing uses and is consistent with the permitted uses and purpose and intent 8
statement of the district" or any similar phrase which provides for a use which is not 9
clearly defined or described in the list of permitted and conditional uses , which requires 10
the discretion of the County Manager or designee as to whether or not it is permitted in 11
the district, then the determination of whether or not that use is permitted in the district 12
shall be made through the process outlined in LDC section 1.06.0010.02.06 K., 13
interpretations, of this LDC. 14

2.03.03 – Commercial Zoning Districts 18
19
A. Commercial Professional and General Office District (C-1). The purpose and intent of the 20
commercial professional and general office district C-1 is to allow a concentration of office 21
type buildings and land uses that are most compatible with, and located near, residential 22
areas. Most C-1 commercial, professional, and general office districts are contiguous to, 23
or when within a PUD, will be placed in close proximity to residential areas, and, therefore, 24
serve as a transitional zoning district between residential areas and higher intensity 25
commercial zoning districts. The types of office uses permitted are those that do not have 26
high traffic volumes throughout the day, which extend into the evening hours. They will 27
have morning and evening short-term peak conditions. The market support for these office 28
uses should be those with a localized basis of market support as opposed to office 29
functions requiring inter-jurisdictional and regional market support. Because office 30
functions have significant employment characteristics, which are compounded when 31
aggregations occur, certain personal service uses shall be permitted, to provide a 32
convenience to office-based employment. Such convenience commercial uses shall be 33
made an integral part of an office building as opposed to the singular use of a building. 34
Housing may also be a component of this district as provided for through conditional use 35
approval. 36
37
1. The following uses, as identified with a number from the Standard Industrial 38
Classification Manual (1987), or as otherwise provided for within this section are 39
permissible by right, or as accessory or conditional uses within the C-1 commercial 40
professional and general office district. 41
a. Permitted uses. 42
43
* * * * * * * * * * * * * 44

exclusively serve the administrative as opposed to the operational 1
functions of a business and are associated purely with activities 2

Board of Zoning Appeals, pursuant to LDC section 10.02.06 K. 4
5
* * * * * * * * * * * * * 6

c. Conditional uses. The following uses are permissible as conditional uses 8
in the (C-1) commercial professional and general office district, subject to 9
the standards and procedures established in LDC section 10.08.00. 10
11
* * * * * * * * * * * * * 12
13
16. Any other convenience commercial use which is comparable in 14
nature with the foregoing list of permitted uses and consistent with 15
the purpose and intent statement of the district, as determined by 16
the board of zoning appeals, pursuant to section 10.08.00. 17
* * * * * * * * * * * * * 18
19
B. Commercial Convenience District (C-2). The purpose and intent of the commercial 20
convenience district (C-2) is to provide lands where commercial establishments may be 21
located to provide the small-scale shopping and personal needs of the surrounding 22
residential land uses within convenient travel distance except to the extent that office uses 23
carried forward from the C-1 district will expand the traditional neighborhood size. 24
However, the intent of this district is that retail and service uses be of a nature that can be 25
economically supported by the immediate residential environs. Therefore, the uses should 26
allow for goods and services that households require on a daily basis, as opposed to those 27
goods and services that households seek for the most favorable economic price and, 28
therefore, require much larger trade areas. It is intended that the C-2 district implements 29
the Collier County GMP within those areas designated agricultural/rural; estates 30
neighborhood center district of the Golden Gate Master Plan; the neighborhood center 31
district of the Immokalee Master Plan; and the urban mixed use district of the future land 32
use element permitted in accordance with the locational criteria for commercial and the 33
goals, objectives, and policies as identified in the future land use element of the Collier 34
County GMP. The maximum density permissible in the C-2 district and the urban mixed 35
use land use designation shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained 36
in the future land use element of the Collier County GMP. The maximum density 37
permissible or permitted in a district shall not exceed the density permissible under the 38
density rating system. 39
40
1. The following uses, as identified with a number from the Standard Industrial 41
Classification Manual (1987), or as otherwise provided for within this section are 42
permissible by right, or as accessory or conditional uses within the C-2 commercial 43
convenience district. 44

with the purpose and intent statement of the district, as determined 15
by the board of zoning appeals pursuant to section 10.08.00. 16
17
C. Commercial Intermediate District (C-3). The purpose and intent of the commercial 18
intermediate district (C-3) is to provide for a wider variety of goods and services intended 19
for areas expected to receive a higher degree of automobile traffic. The type and variety 20
of goods and services are those that provide an opportunity for comparison shopping, 21
have a trade area consisting of several neighborhoods, and are preferably located at the 22
intersection of two-arterial level streets. Most activity centers meet this standard. This 23
district is also intended to allow all of the uses permitted in the C-1 and C-2 zoning districts 24
typically aggregated in planned shopping centers. This district is not intended to permit 25
wholesaling type of uses, or land uses that have associated with them the need for outdoor 26
storage of equipment and merchandise. A mixed-use project containing a residential 27
component is permitted in this district subject to the criteria established herein. The C-3 28
district is permitted in accordance with the locational criteria for commercial and the goals, 29
objectives, and policies as identified in the future land use element of the Collier County 30
GMP. The maximum density permissible in the C-3 district and the urban mixed use land 31
use designation shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained in the 32
future land use element of the Collier County GMP. The maximum density permissible or 33
permitted in the C-3 district shall not exceed the density permissible under the density 34
rating system. 35
36
1. The following uses, as identified with a number from the Standard Industrial 37

D. General Commercial District (C-4). The general commercial district (C-4) is intended to 23
provide for those types of land uses that attract large segments of the population at the 24
same time by virtue of scale, coupled with the type of activity. The purpose and intent of 25
the C-4 district is to provide the opportunity for the most diverse types of commercial 26
activities delivering goods and services, including entertainment and recreational 27
attractions, at a larger scale than the C-1 through C-3 districts. As such, all of the uses 28
permitted in the C-1 through C-3 districts are also permitted in the C-4 district. The outside 29
storage of merchandise and equipment is prohibited, except to the extent that it is 30
associated with the commercial activity conducted on-site such as, but not limited to, 31
automobile sales, marine vessels, and the renting and leasing of equipment. Activity 32
centers are suitable locations for the uses permitted by the C-4 district because most 33
activity centers are located at the intersection of arterial roads. Therefore the uses in the 34
C-4 district can most be sustained by the transportation network of major roads. The C-4 35
district is permitted in accordance with the locational criteria for uses and the goals, 36
objectives, and policies as identified in the future land use element of the Collier County 37
GMP. The maximum density permissible or permitted in a district shall not exceed the 38
density permissible under the density rating system. 39

E. Heavy Commercial District (C-5). In addition to the uses provided in the C-4 zoning district, 20
the heavy commercial district (C-5) allows a range of more intensive commercial uses and 21
services which are generally those uses that tend to utilize outdoor space in the conduct 22
of the business. The C-5 district permits heavy commercial services such as full-service 23
automotive repair, and establishments primarily engaged in construction and specialized 24
trade activities such as contractor offices, plumbing, heating and air conditioning services, 25
and similar uses that typically have a need to store construction associated equipment 26
and supplies within an enclosed structure or have showrooms displaying the building 27
material for which they specialize. Outdoor storage yards are permitted with the 28
requirement that such yards are completely enclosed or opaquely screened. The C-5 29
district is permitted in accordance with the locational criteria for uses and the goals, 30
objectives, and policies as identified in the future land use element of the Collier County 31
