EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Board consider an anti-camping ordinance, and if acceptable to
the Board, that the Board direct the County Attorney to work with the Sheriff's Office to
develop and advertise an ordinance that repeals and replaces OrdInance No. 74-07 with an
ordinance prohibiting camping in the unincorporated areas of Collier County.
OBJECTIVE: To receive direction for the County Attorney to develop and advertise an
ordinance that repeals and replaces Ordinance No. 74-07.
CONSIDERATIONS: This item is being submitted at Board direction.
On February 7, 1974, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance No. 74-07,
attached hereto, which prohibits mobile and portable sleeping within one mile of the Gulf of
Mexico. There is no like ban for the remainder of the County, whose population has greatly
expanded eastward since 1974. Among the public health and safety reasons for such an
ordinance is the threat of wildfires caused by unattended campfIres.
In that anti-camping ordinances, by their very nature, directly impact the homeless population,
many of these ordinances have been struck down as unconstitutional. To minimize such a claim,
this Office has modeled the proposed ordinance after the City of Orlando's anti-camping
ordinance, which was upheld by the United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit. This
success was in large part due to City of Orlando's handbook entitled Most Used City Ordinance
Book which established an enforcement process, which administrative process this Office would
recommend adopting as well.
The proposed ordinance, if adopted, would:
1. Defme camping as:
· Sleeping or otherwise being in a temporary shelter out-of-doors; or
. Sleeping out-of-doors; or
. Cooking over an open flame or fire out-of-doors.
2. Prohibit camping and provide for specified exceptions:
· Camping would be prohibited on all public property within the unincorporated area of
Collier County, except as may be specifically authorized by the appropriate governmental
authority.
· Camping would be prohibited on all property within the unincorporated area of Collier
County used for residential purposes; however, that camping would be permitted on such
property with the permission and consent of the property owner.
The draft enforcement proces~, attached hereto, would ensure that the ordinance is
constitutionally and consistently enforced. It is important to mention that persons violating the
outdoor camping provisions in the City of Orlando are subject to arrest and, if guilty,

imprisonment. Since enforcement would be by the Sheriff, the Office of the County Attorney
would like to closely coordinate this ordinance and administrative enforcement guidelines with
the Collier County Sheriffs Office. Any enforcement against the homeless would require that
local shelters be available.
FISCAL IMPACT: Initially limited to the cost of advertising. Costs of enforcement are
unknown.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan
associated with these changes.
RECOMMENDA nON: That if this Board wishes to go forward with this ordinance, that it
direct the County Attorney to work with the Sheriff s Office to develop and advertise an
ordinance that repeals and replaces Ordinance No. 74-07.
