EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Request that the Board of County Commissioners directs the County Attorney to advertise
five ordinances for the sole purpose of relocating the advisory board ordinances relating to
the Planning Commission, the Board of Zoning Appeals, the Building Board of
Adjustments and Appeals, the Environmental Advisory Council, and the
Historic/Archaeologic Preservation Board, from the Collier County Land Development
Code to the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances, and to waive the requirement, if
any, to implement this relocation through a Special LDC Cycle.
OBJECTIVE: In keeping with prior Board direction, the attached ordinances are intended to
relocate from the Land Development Code ("LDC") to the Code of Laws and Ordinances, the
advisory board ordinances for the Planning Commission, the Board of Zoning Appeals, the
Building Board of Adjustments and Appeals, the Environmental Advisory Council, and the
Historic/Archaeologic Preservation Board. As discussed below, this is a ministerial act, with no
changes being made to these ordinances other than relocating them to the Code of Laws and
Ordinances from the LDC.
CONSIDERATIONS: Chapter 8 of the Collier County Land Development Code sets forth the
establishment, powers and duties of the Planning Commission, the Board of Zoning Appeals, the
Building Board of Adjustments and Appeals, the Environmental Advisory Council, and the
Historic/Archaeologic Preservation Board. Article VIII (Boards, Commissions, Committees and
_ Authorities) of Chapter 2 (Administration) of the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances
also contains the establishment, powers and duties of a number of decision-making and
administrative bodies, including the Health Facilities Authority, the Housing Finance Authority,
the Coastal Advisory Committee, the County Government Productivity Committee, the Hispanic
Affairs Advisory Board, the Black Affairs Advisory Board, the Affordable Housing Advisory
Committee, the Tourist Development Council, the Development Services Advisory Committee,
and the Animal Services Advisory Board, as well as several others, and also contains the overall
standards for the creation and review of County Boards Ordinance.
As previously discussed with the Board, it is advantageous to relocate the LDC Boards
into the administrative section of the Code of Laws and Ordinances in that (1) there are a limited
number of annual amendment cycles for the LDC, whereas amending general ordinances has no
such constraint; and (2) having the ordinances concerning all of the County's decision-making
and administrative bodies located within the same administrative section of the Collier County
Code of Laws and Ordinances aids the public in locating these advisory board rules, Creating
separate, stand alone ordinances for each of these boards (rather than a single, consolidated
advisory board ordinance) will make it easier to amend these rules and regulations as the need
anses.
-
If the Board appioves this ileill, the County Attorney will advertised these ordinances and
bring them back for approval on the Summary Agenda of the next available Board meeting. It is
the opinion of the County Attorney that there is no need for a special tDC cycle as this is no
more than a ministerial matter, with no amendment of any kind with respect to these ordinances.
That said, in the interest of caution, the CQunty Attorney 1..,. Hsking the Board to v~'ai\'e the
requirement, if any, of a special LDC cycle.

Fj]~Je 2 of 34
Should the Board adopt these five ordinances at a future' date, then pursuant to prior
Board direction, the County Attorney will advertise and then bring back to the Board an
amendment of the Collier County Planning Commission Ordinance which would require
nomination to the Planning Commission by the Commissioner of the District with the vacant
position. Since, at that time, this will be a stand-alone ordinance outside of the LDC, a special
LDC cycle will not be needed to amend the Planning Commission Ordinance. The County
Attorney is taking a two-step process to the Planning Commission amendment to minimize the
already unlikely event of a challenge to this process.
FISCAL IMP ACT: $2,175.00, representing the cost of advertising
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed ordinances were drafted by the County Attorney.
This is a regular Board item requiring simple majority vote, However, since amending the Land
Development Code requires supermajority vote, it is requested that there be the support of at
least four Commissioners prior to advertising these ordinances. JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of COWIty Commissioners directs the County
Attorney to advertise the attached five ordinances to separately relocate from Chapter 8 of the
Land Development Code to the Code of Laws and Ordinances the advisory board ordinances for
the Planning Commission, the Board of Zoning Appeals, the Building Board of Adjustments and
Appeals, the Environmental Advisory Council, and the Historic/Archaeologic Preservation
Board, and to waive the requirement, if any, to implement this relocation through a Special LDC
Cycle.
