EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Agenda Item No, 16B 12
April S, 200S
Page 1 of S
Recommendation to approve a resolution designatiug an approximately 1.2 acre parcel of
land within the Collier County Government Center campus for use as an intermodal
transit passenger transfer facility.
OBJECTIVE: To approve a resolution designating an approximately 1.2 acre parcel of land
within the Collier County Government Center for use as an intermodal transit passenger transfer
facility.
CONSIDERATION: On August 1,2007, Collier Area Transit (CAT) moved their passenger
transfer facility to the Collier County Government Center campus next to the Museum, after
being asked to relocate by Lorenzo Walker Institute of Technology. This current location by the
Museum was always intended to be a temporary location until a permanent facility could be
built. The Facilitics Department has suggested, and the Transportation Division is requesting,
relocation of the CAT transfer operation to vacant land located at the comer of the Collier
County Government Center across from Wal-Mart on US 4] Tamiami Trail East. A location
map depicting the approximate location of the proposed facility is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
The proposed facility location is within the Collier County Government Center Community
Facility Planned Unit Development ("CFPUD"), which was previously approved as a
Development of Regional Impact (DR!). As part of the PUD ordinance, the CFPUD was
determined to be consistent with the DR!. Permitted uses within the CFPUD include
"administrative service facility"; "essential public service facilities"; "parking facilities"; and
"[a]nyother uses that are comparable in nature with the foregoing uses and are consistent with
the permitted uses of [the] CFPUD, as detennined by the Board of Zoning Appeals".
In addition, accessory uses within the CFPUD include "accessory uses and structures
customarily associated with the principal permitted uses." Because the proposed facility is
intended for use by the public for transportation services, the facility falls under both the
permitted and accessory uses of the CFPUD.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact with designating this land for use as a transfer
facility.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Consistent with the Transportation Elements in
Objectives 10 of the Growth Management Plan, which provides that the County shall encourage
safe and efficient mobility for the rural public, and Objective 12 of thc Growth Management
Plan, which provides that the County shall encourage the efficient use of transit services now and
in the future.
LEGAL CONSIDERA nONS: This agenda item has been reviewed for legal sufficiency, and
there are no outstanding legal considerations.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve a resolution
designating a parcel of land within the Collier County Government Center campus for use as an
intermodal transit passenger transfer facility.

Re: Zoning Verification Letter ZLTR-07-AR.11596, requesting a detennination that
Section 33 A of the Collicr County Government Center Community Facility Planned
Unit Developmcnt (CFPUD) permits the use of a Bus fransfer Station to be opcrated by
Collicr Area Transit (CAr).
Dear Mt, Mulhere:
This letter is in rcsponse to your request for an official zoning verification letter to determine
if the Collier Area Transit (CAT) Bus Passenger Transfer use is a permitted use in Section
3,) A of the Collier County Government Center CFPUD (Ordinance Number 2004-56) as
described in yoU!' application letter accepted as sufficient on April 12, 2007
The use as you dcscribe is an element of the county-wide CA T facility and thc proposal is to,
operate a bus passenger transfer function at the Collier County Government Center (Main
Carnpus) at the southernmost pmt of the complex that fronts on the Tamianu hail (US-41),
In addition, it is anticipated that site improvements will be necessary and couId include a
shelter facility with rest lOoms, Other site implOvements that may be reqwred by the
TranspOItation Services Division include the following: a redesign of the site access to allow
for the bus tuIning movements and providing bus access from the transfer site to the traffic
signal at the US-41
From the information presented, it is my opinion that the proposed bus transfer use fimctions
as a govemment or public service facility that is intcnded to provide a needcd public
transpOItation scrvice to the residents of Collier County, Upon my revicw of the list of
permitted uses contained in the abovc referenced Community Facility POO document,
"Essential Public Service Facilities" is listed as a permitted principal use Because the pun
document doesn't define the term "Essential Public Service Facilities", the definitions ofthe
Collier County Land Development Code (LDC) nOImally shall apply, The LDC doesn't

specifically define Essential Public Service Facilities, however it does define an "essential
service" and "government facility" as follows;
Essential services.. Those services and facilities, including utilities, safety services, and other
f!overnment urvices, necessary to promote and p'otect public health, safety and welfare,
including but not limited to the following police, fire, emergency medical, public park and
public libTa'Y facilities, and all se,vices designed and opeTated to provide watel; sewer; gas,
telephone, electricity, cable television or communications to the general public by provide, s
Government facilities. Local, state, and frderally owned or leased and operated government
facility that orovide f!overnment services. including pr immy civic or public institutional uses
In addition, "public service" is also defined a selvice pelfonned for the public good..
Fmthermore, because the Collier County Govemment Center is also designated as a
Development of Regional bupact (DR!), the Main Campus site is also subject to the
requirements of the approved DIU Development Order (Resolution 2000-443), Section 3 (I)
of the DIU requiles Collier County to pmmote lIans;t service through the inclusion of bus
stops or othel appropriate transit access points in its site design, consistent with the Colliel
County transit plans
Based on the above findings, it is my opinion that the proposed CA I facility including a bus
passenger transfcr use is deemed to be an allowable use pmsuant to the function of an
Essential Public Service Facility of the Collier County Govemment Center CFPUD and the
lelms and requirements of the DIU,
Please be advised that this velification letter is based on the Collier County Land
Development Code and/or Growth Management Plan in effcct at the time of this date, It is
possible that subsequent amendment(s) to either ofthese documents could affect the validity
of this verification.
Should you require fmther information please do not hesitate to call our office at (239) 659-
5746
