The proposed amendment represents the implementation of the Board’s direction to study the
proliferation of self storage facilities on U.S. 41, between the intersection of Palm

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.
Mr. Johnson presented the proposed amendment noting the Subcommittee previously
recommended approval of the proposal however it has been revised after staff review and input
from the County Attorney’s office. He provided a detailed overview of the changes and fielded
brief questions from the subcommittee who expressed concern on the quarter mile radius
proposed for property owner notifications as it would be the greatest distance required in any
Section of the Land Development Code. Other concerns included ensuring those applications in
the queue are not subject to the new regulation should it be adopted before they are approved.
Mr. Curl moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend the Board of
County Commissioners approve the proposed amendments as presented bysStaff subject to the
following changes:

1. Administrative Code – Chapter 6 L.6.4th bullet point last line from “…median widths, for a
1,320 foot distance from the subject parcel” to “…median widths, within a quarter mile
radius from the subject parcel.”
Second by Mr. Foley. Carried unanimously 3 – 0.

the elements, known as deviations, is provided for pursuant to Section 10.02.13 A.3.of the Land
Development Code (LDC).
Mr. Frantz presented the proposed amendment with the subcommittee requesting clarification
on the different category of signs subject to the proposed amendment with staff noting they are
generally “wayfinders” for slower traveling vehicles. The Committee queried if consideration
should be given to allowing the reduction on public roads in PUD’s.

item is considered by the full Committee. Second by Mr. Curl. Carried unanimously 3 – 0.
b. Comparable Use Determination

Uses, and Conditional Uses 10.02.06 Requirements for
Permits 10.03.06 Public Notice and Required Hearings
for Land Use Petitions
The proposed amendment clarifies the procedures and approval process for Comparable Use
Determinations. 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). The ZVL
and backup materials will be brought before the Office of the Hearing Examiner or the Board of
Zoning Appeals (BZA) for affirmation.

the item to the Subcommittee for consideration at a future meeting.
c. Chapter 4 of the Administrative Code
Ms. Summers presented the “2019 Administrative Code Updates – Chapter 4” for

required to be submitted (conceptual for screening of apparatus or an actual structural design of
the roof). Additionally, the standards for those allowed to submit Lighting Plans under the
Section.
Staff reported the requirements for the Lighting Plan design is in accordance with language
found in the Land Development Code which would most likely be required to be amended before
it could be changed in the Administrative Code.
Staff reported they will review the language including Section 4.A.3 in relation to “Roof Plan”
requirements and “Lighting Plan” submittals and return the item to the Subcommittee for
consideration at a future meeting.

6. Explore Regulatory Relief for Affordable Housing Land Use Applications (Cormac Giblin)
Mr. Giblin reported:
• He appeared in front of the Development Services Advisory Committee who remanded the
item to the subcommittee.
• The BCC has engaged in improving opportunities for affordable housing and in conjunction
with studies, 3 main objectives have been identified as a means to facilitate affordable
housing.
• The objectives include increasing densities for the use, reducing uncertainty and providing
funding mechanisms.
• The County has taken measures to allow increased densities and the new sales tax will
provide funds for County acquisition of lands for provision of affordable housing.
• The reduction of uncertainty involves costs and design requirements associated with the
development.
• He is working with Advisory Boards and stakeholders to develop recommendations for the
BCC to consider.
March 19, 2019

• Feedback from stakeholders centers around the cost of development and the return on
investment for providing the housing.
• Concepts already discussed are reductions in sidewalk and roadway widths and right of ways,
allowing use of temporary generators for sewage lift station instead of permanent
installations, etc.
The Committee noted one concern may be reducing infrastructure features while increasing densities
in the same areas given the demand which may be placed on improvements such as sidewalks and
roadways.
During discussion, the items brought forth for consideration included:
◊ Reducing landscape buffers from 20 feet to 10 feet.
◊ Minimizing requirements for curbing and bumper stops.
◊ Easing requirements for storm water management systems for sloping.
◊ Investigating the feasibility of developing requirements to facilitate conversion of vacant
commercial properties to residential uses given the ongoing changes in the retail
marketplace.
Mr. Giblin reported he will begin developing recommendations and will seek input from other
parties and stakeholders and return the item to the DSAC in late summer. He requested any member
of DSAC who is interested in the process to submit comments so he may review them.

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 F 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. 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 respondents 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 by the Board on April 24, 2018 (see
Exhibit G). One recommendation suggested having a minimum distance separation between new self-
storage facilities.

G:\LDC Amendments\Advisory Boards and Public Hearings\DSAC\2019\May 01\Self-Storage Buildings\Word version and Backup
Documents\Item VI.A (04-11-2019) - LDC.docx
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 with 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 to where new
self-storage buildings that are currently allowed as a permitted use—the in 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).

E. Heavy Commercial District (C-5). In addition to the uses provided in the C-4 zoning 17
district, the heavy commercial district (C-5) allows a range of more intensive commercial 18
uses and services which are generally those uses that tend to utilize outdoor space in the 19
conduct of the business. The C-5 district permits heavy commercial services such as full-20
service automotive repair, and establishments primarily engaged in construction and 21
specialized trade activities such as contractor offices, plumbing, heating and air 22
conditioning services, and similar uses that typically have a need to store construction 23
associated equipment and supplies within an enclosed structure or have showrooms 24
displaying the building material for which they specialize. Outdoor storage yards are 25
permitted with the requirement that such yards are completely enclosed or opaquely 26

A. Purpose and Intent. The purpose of this section is to discourage the proliferation 7
of self-storage buildings along the segment of U.S. 41 defined in LDC section 8
5.05.06 B., in order to maximize or encourage a broad mix of principal uses that 9
will provide goods and services at the neighborhood level to the residents living 10
within or adjacent to the applicable defined area. 11
12
B. Applicability. This section shall apply to all new self-storage buildings proposed 13
on real property zoned C-5 and located adjacent to U.S. 41, between the east side 14
of Airport-Pulling Road to the west side of Price Street/Triangle Boulevard. All 15
outparcels within shopping centers that are adjacent to U.S. 41 within this area 16
shall be included. This section shall not apply to self-storage buildings for which a 17
SDP has been approved or a completed SDP application has been filed and 18
accepted as of the effective date of this section. 19
20
C. Minimum Separation. A new self-storage building shall be located no closer than 21
a quarter-mile (1,320 feet) radius to an existing self-storage building, as measured 22
from property line to property line, unless a waiver to the separation requirement 23
is granted in conformance with LDC subsection 5.05.16 D. below. 24

D. Waiver of Separation Requirements. 26
27
1. The Office of the Hearing Examiner or the BZA (or whomever is appointed 28
by the BCC) may grant a waiver of all or part of the minimum separation 29
requirements of a proposed self -storage building, if either of the following 30
circumstances are met: 31
32
a. Within a quarter-mile (1,320-foot) radius of the proposed self-33
storage building, there are properties that have existing C-2 uses or 34
are zoned to permit C-2 uses that provide neighborhood-level 35
goods or services, such as restaurants, retail, or personal services.; 36
or 37
38
b. A minimum of 25 percent of the gross floor area of the proposed 39
self-storage building is dedicated to C-2 uses that provide 40
neighborhood-level goods or services, such as restaurants, retail, 41
or personal services. 42

Memorandum
To: Eric Johnson, AICP, CFM, Land Development Code Section
From: David Weeks, AICP, Growth Management Manager, Comprehensive Planning Section
Date: April 9, 2019
Subject: Growth Management Plan (GMP) Consistency Review
PETITION NUMBER: LDCA-PL20180003473 REV:5
PETITION NAME: LDC Sec. 1.08.02, 2.03.03 & 5.05.16, Self-Storage Facilities
REQUEST: Amend the Collier County Land Development Code Sections 1.08.02 Definitions, and
2.03.03 Commercial Zoning Districts, and add new Sec. 5.05.16, Self-Storage Facilities, to:
1. Add to the definition of “self-storage buildings” and add reference to new Sec. 5.05.16.
2. Add reference to new Sec. 5.05.16 within the C-5, Heavy Commercial, District.
3. Establish new Sec. 5.05.16 Separation of Self-Storage Facilities.
COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING COMMENTS: The Growth Management Plan’s (GMP) land use
elements (Future Land Use Element, Golden Gate Area Master Plan, Immokalee Area Master Plan)
contain subdistricts and overlays that identify allowable uses; some of these identify uses by zoning
district(s) and some by specific use names (e.g. liquor store) or use categories (e.g. retail commercial).
These subdistricts and overlays are implemented through the Land Development Code (LDC), which
may be by establishing a zoning overlay, or a rezone of a property, or a conditional use on a property.
The GMP does not contain a definition of self-storage facilities, and does not contain, or prohibit,
separation requirements for self-storage facilities; there is no specificity provided that would conflict
with the proposed amendment. The LDC may be more restrictive than the GMP but not less restrictive.
CONCLUSION:
Based upon the above analysis, the proposed LDC amendment may be deemed consistent with the
GMP.

Subject:RE: Land Development Code Amendments Update
Good morning Eric,
Just a couple of comments / input relative to the self storage separation standards proposed.
1. It appears that facility and buildings are used interchangeably. Facilities can be of one or numerous number of buildings. Recommend you use facilities and eliminate the term buildings from this provision.
2. The intent is to limit and provide separation of facilities. This should not preclude expansion of existing facilities which is more desirable as it addresses demand without the need for additional new facilities. Therefore recommend that you exempt
enlargements of existing facilities which have been considered or will be considered / evaluated through a public hearing process; such as a PUD or Conditional Use.
a. A PUD may have remaining capacity
b. An expansion or enlargement which proposes additional acreage for the expansion will still need to go through the Conditional Use process.
3. It was unclear how the proposed LDC amendment addresses existing approvals relative to new proposed locations. Is the separation only measured between existing facilities or does it recognize existing zoning such as PUDs and Conditional Uses.
Relative to PUDs, these districts typically have a varied list of permitting uses which may or may not be realized.
a. Not sure, but does Sabal Bay PUD support storage?
b. Others?
c. I believe the PUD at the southeast corner of US 41 East and Southwest Blvd supports storage.
d. It is interesting to see in plan where zoning already supports storage
Are these areas grandfathered-in?
4. As you may recall, we are presently working on a self-storage facility – which just started construction on the East Trail and is permitting under a Conditional Use approval.
a. There is vacant parcels to the west which are very small and due to their size and geometry (limited depth and frontage and setback due to frontage canal) are not good candidates for retail or services and access is an issue.
These lots are good candidates for the expansion of the storage facility under construction should it be successful and would be most compatible with the neighborhood and would no require an additional access from US 41; and
would be low traffic generator.
1. It has since been suggested by nearby neighbors that the facility should expand over these lots.
b. How would the proposed LDC provision address these considerations?
I assume that a CU or a CU amendment would be required to permit the expansion?
I will look forward to your feedback on these suggested revisions to the draft LDC amendments.
Please do not hesitate to call or to schedule a meeting should you wish to further discuss.
Regards,
Michael
