Agenda 12/10/2019 Item #11F (LDC Price Street/Triangle Boulevard)12/10/2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to provide staff with direction regarding changes to an amendment to the LDC
involving self-storage buildings on U.S. 41 between the east side of Airport-Pulling Road to the west
side of Price Street/Triangle Boulevard. This is a follow-up to the item reviewed by the Board at
the September 10, 2019 BCC Meeting, Item 11.C. (formerly 16.A.1.).
OBJECTIVE: To provide staff with direction regarding changes to an amendment to the LDC involving
self-storage buildings on U.S. 41 between the east side of Airport-Pulling Road to the west side of Price
Street/Triangle Boulevard.
CONSIDERATIONS: On September 10, 2019, staff brought a request to the Board to advertise an
ordinance that would amend the LDC to create separation standards for self-storage buildings on U.S. 41
between the east side of Airport-Pulling Road to the west side of Price Street/Triangle Boulevard,
pursuant to a recommendation of the Corridor Study. However, the Board voted 4 -1 not to advertise the
ordinance. Instead, the Board unanimously voted to bring back the item later in order to have a greater
discussion about additional restrictions, incentives, or alternatives. In the Recommendations section of
this executive summary, staff has provided recommendations for different approaches to the LDC
amendment.
Pursuant to LDC Section 10.03.06 K., any direction from the Board to draft an ordinance that changes at
least ten contiguous acres of the zoning map or a change to the list of permitted, conditional, or prohibited
uses requires the following public hearings:
a. At least one Planning Commission hearing. The Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC)
may elect by a majority decision to hear such ordinance or resolution at two public hearings. If
there is only one CCPC hearing, the hearing shall be held after 5:00 p.m. on a weekday, and if
there are two CCPC hearings, then at least one of the hearings shall be held after 5:00 p.m. on a
weekday.
b. At least two Board hearings. At least one hearing shall be h eld after 5:00 p.m. on a weekday
unless the Board by a majority vote plus one vote elects to conduct that hearing at another time of
day.
Since the previous draft did not include changes to the list of permitted or conditional uses, some of the
recommendations below may require review at a night hearing by the CCPC and the Board.
FISCAL IMPACT: There are no fiscal impacts associated with this action.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality. A majority vote is
needed for Board direction. (HFAC)
RECOMMENDATION: To provide staff with direction regarding changes to an amendment to the
LDC involving self-storage buildings on U.S. 41 between the east side of Airport-Pulling Road to the
west side of Price Street/Triangle Boulevard, to include but not be limited to following:
1. In C-4 zoning along the subject Corridor, allow self-storage facilities as a permitted use rather
than a conditional use, if located within a vertical mixed-use building and at least 51% of the
11.F
Packet Pg. 1228
12/10/2019
entire first floor is comprised of commercial uses. Once constructed, the future conversion of the
first floor commercial uses to self-storage would require conditional use approval.
2. Allow a reduction of the minimum number of required off-street parking spaces and/or landscape
buffer(s) for a mixed-use project consisting of a self-storage facility and any neighborhood-
serving use.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize staff to advertise for a public hearing on October 22, 2019, an
ordinance amending the Land Development Code related to the creation of separation standards
for self-storage buildings on U.S. 41 between the east side of Airport-Pulling Road to the west side
of Price Street/Triangle Boulevard, pursuant to the recommendations of the U.S. 41 Corridor
Study.
OBJECTIVE: Recommendation to authorize staff to advertise for a future public hearing, an ordinance
amending the Land Development Code related to the creation of separation standards for self -storage
buildings on U.S. 41 between the east side of Airport -Pulling Road to the west side of Price
Street/Triangle Boulevard, pursuant to the recommendations of the U.S. 41 Corridor Study.
CONSIDERATIONS: 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 Corridor (“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.
On December 13, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) expressed concern over the
proliferation of certain uses on U.S. 41 in this area of the U.S. 41 corridor. The Board considered
adopting a one-year moratorium for all development orders involving self-storage, gas stations, car
washes, and pawnshops on properties zoned General Commercial District (C -4) and Heavy Commercial
District (C-5) 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. The Corridor Study was
presented to and accepted by the Board on April 24, 2018. 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 meeting
respondents did not support self -storage facilities. As such, one of the recommendations of the Corridor
Study was aimed at further regulating this use. One recommendation suggested having a minimum
distance separation between new self-storage facilities, which according to the Corridor Study is “the
distance a pedestrian will typically walk comfortably within five minutes. This would relieve the sense of
proliferation by providing a separation that is consistent with the basic building block of a pedestrian
scale environment” (see page 54 of 161 of Attachment 2).
For this LDCA and in keeping with the Corridor Study, the proposed language requires a separation of a
quarter-mile 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.
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 Community Professional and General Office
District (C-1) or Commercial Convenience District (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
16.A.1
Packet Pg. 350
09/10/2019
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 may use when evaluating market
studies in connection with Growth Management Plan (GMP) amendments.
The geographic area subject to this LDCA does not include the properties located within the Bayshore
Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Area or existing Planned Unit Developments (PUDs), and
this LDCA is only applicable to new self-storage buildings that are currently allowed as a permitted use in
the C-5 zoning district.
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ADVISORY COMMITTEE-LAND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
DSAC-LDR) - RECOMMENDATION: In addition to several other minor changes, on March 21,
2019, the DSAC-LDR voted to recommend approval of the amendment, contingent upon the notification
area for the mailed notice be reduced from 1,320 feet to 500 feet. The current language in the LDC
reflects this recommendation; however, it was not fully implemented in the proposed language for the
administrative code. The administrative code will be updated when the resolution is presented to the
Board as a companion item to the LDCA.
DSAC - RECOMMENDATION: By a vote of 8-3, on May 1, 2019, the DSAC voted to recommend
approval of the amendment.
COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION (CCPC) - RECOMMENDATION: On May 16,
2019, the CCPC unanimously voted to recommend approval of the amendment.
FISCAL IMPACT: Staff anticipates no additional fiscal or operational impact to the County other than
the cost to advertise, which is $500.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality. A majority vote is needed
to approve the advertising of the LDC amendment, but an affirmative vote of four will be needed to
approve the amendment at the advertised public hearing. (HFAC)
RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation to authorize staff to advertise for a public hearing on

2.03.03 Commercial Zoning Districts
E. Heavy Commercial District (C-5). In addition to the uses provided in the C-4 zoning
district, the heavy commercial district (C-5) allows a range of more intensive commercial

the conduct of the business. The C-5 district permits heavy commercial services such as
full-service automotive repair, and establishments primarily engaged in construction and
specialized trade activities such as contractor offices, plumbing, heating and air
conditioning services, and similar uses that typically have a need to store construction
associated equipment and supplies within an enclosed structure or have showrooms
displaying the building material for which they specialize. Outdoor storage yards are

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. 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). 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 meeting 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, which according to the Corridor Study is “the distance a pedestrian will typically walk
2
G:\LDC Amendments\Advisory Boards and Public Hearings\BCC\2019\Sep 10\Separation of Self-Storage Buildings\Word Version and Backup
Documents\Narrative_Proposed LDCA (08-01-2019).docx
comfortable within five minutes. This would relieve the sense of proliferation byproviding a separation
that is consistent with the basic building block of a pedestrian scale environment.”
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 walkabilityin 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 Growth Management Plan (GMP) amendments (to
commercial).
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 new self-
storage buildings that are currently allowed as a permitted use in the C-5 zoning district.
In addition to several other minor changes, the DSAC-LDR recommended that the mailed notice
notification area be reduced from 1,320 feet to 500 feet. The current language for the LDC reflects this
recommendation; however, it was not fully implemented in the proposed language for the administrative
code. The administrative code will be updated when the resolution is presented to the Board as a
companion item to the LDCA.
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 GMP (see
Exhibit B).

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.

Michael

Vision for the East Trail Corridor
1~
The East Naples Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is continuing the
community project initiated by the East Naples Civic Association's Strategic Planning
Committee. This project is an endeavor to create a plan to promote planned growth for
the future of the "East Trail" (Tamiami Trail East I U.S. 41 East) corridor in Collier
County.
The East Naples Foundation enVISIOns development along the East Trail over time
according to a community based master plan. This is not about the road itself. This
effort is not an evaluation of how many lanes or how much asphalt should be poured on
US 41. This vision for the future focuses on the property, the buildings, and the features
along the East Trail. These features will ultimately be developed and redeveloped in a
way that either contributes to or detracts from a sense of identity, character, place and
functionality for the people who live along and travel the corridor.
The Study Area is a stretch of approximately 14 miles beginning at Airport Pulling Road
adjacent to the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Areal to County Road 92.
The Study Area covers a long distance of roadway with varied characteristics and
multiple functions serving both travelers and neighbors. The functions of the corridor
span the spectrum, from the northernmost portions that can serve as a "main street" for
established communities in East Naples, to the southernmost portion that is a scenic route
through the Collier-Seminole State Park and rural agricultural lands.
The future character of the corridor will be dictated over the next twenty years as many
currently developed sites reach the end of their structural and functional lives, and many
undeveloped lands face development pressure. The East Naples Foundation identifies the
need to focus the activity, growth and opportunities of the corridor in a way that best and
most efficiently serve the people living, working, owning land, or doing business along
the East Trail corridor.
The East Naples Foundation has undertaken this planning effort for the following
purpose:
To develop a Master Plan for the U.S. 41 Tamiami Trail corridor which
will encourage planned growth, both commercial and residential, that is
compatible with the unique natural resources of the area, resulting in an
enhanced quality of life for all residents.
I
The East Trail Corridor Study Area defined for this planning effort does encompass some property within
the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Area (eRA) boundary, however the
recommendations of this Vision for the East Trail Corridor are only for lands outside of the eRA
boundary. Any reference to property within the eRA. boundary is only conceptual in nature, and is not
intended to alter or vary from the eRA' s Redevelopment Plan that guides and governs all future
development within the CR.^-.

Vision/or the East Trail Corridor
Master Plan Study Process
The objective of this master planning effort is to anticipate, plan and identifY adjustments
to regulatory framework so that the East Trail corridor grows viably while protecting
quality of life. Current conditions have been documented and analyzed. Community
interests have been defined and prioritized in this Vision for the future. This Vision will
ultimately be translated into a master plan document complete with goals, policies, and
implementation mechanisms that ensure sustained adherence to principles of the plan.
The following outline provides the detailed steps of this master planning effort. Steps I
and 2 have already been completed. This Vision document fulfills Step 3.
1. Existing Conditions Inventory - Professional planners, engineers and ecologists
collected, tabulated, and mapped existing conditions along the corridor, including:
corridor boundaries, land use, zoning, utilities, drainage, transportation, demographics,
and design characteristics.
2. Public Workshop - A meeting was held March 30, 2009 to display collected data and
solicit input from the community and stakeholders to identifY the area's strengths and
weaknesses, Iikcs and dislikes, and desires for the future.
3, Vision - Professional planning consultants prioritize the goals and objectives of
the community within the framework of existing conditions and potential for the
future. The vision is embodied in a statement document and an image that conveys
both the concept for the development of the corridor and the illustration of the
segments, gateways, nodes, opportunities and constraints along the corridor.
4. East Trail Plan - This plan documcnt will outlinc the goals, objectives and policics
that providc a framework f()r thc developmcnt community and the public agcncies to
achicve an outcome consistent with thc vision for the corridor. The East Trail Plan will
provide thc following: background data and analysis, and guidelines for planned
transportation, land use and urban dcsign c1cmcnts. The Plan will also identify nccessary
improvements and rccommcnded mcthods and criteria to achieve thc desired results.
Recommendcd methods may includc: inccntivcs, pcrfonnance standards, f0n11 based
codcs or new developmcnt standards.
5. Public Input - A sccond meeting will be held with thc community and stakeholdcrs to
gathcr input and answer qucstions related to the draft Corridor Plan.
6. Adoption - Collier County staff, Advisory Boards and Commissioners must review
and consider the Plan for adoption.
7. Implementation - After the Plan is adopted, the implementation of the plan may
involve: Growth Management Plan amcndmcnts. such as new Future Land Use
designations, overlays or commcrcial location cliteria; Land Development Code
amendments, such as new zoning districts or ovcrlays; capital improvement plan updates;
new funding strategies; and new public outrcach strategies or programs.

Vision for the East Trail Corridor
History of the Tamiami Trail," Authority of the Tamiami Trail Commissioners and the County Commissioners of
Dade County, Florida, t928.
HistOlY
Opened in ] 928, the Tamiami Trail has long provided a critical connection for the State
of Florida, from Tampa to Miami. The importance of this route as a state connector has
been overtaken by newer highway improvements to Interstate 75 that is now the high
capacity route connecting the Fort Lauderdale area to Tampa and points nOJih.
Much of the Tamiami Trail that runs along the west coast now functions as an aJierial
roadway running through urban and suburban areas. Cities along the west coast have
made efforts to redefine the arterial roadway to better fit their communities. These
communities have found through traffic studies that the T amiami Trail is often utilized
more for local trips rather than long distance trips. This means the Trail corridor should
develop with local contcxt and character similar to a "main street" rather than a
throughway in an urbanized area. Other portions of the Trail are much more scenic,
where the landscape stretches for miles over agricultw-al lands, the Everglades, and other
protected parklands.

Land Use Characteristics
The development along Collier County's East Trail from Airport Road to County Road
92 is a reflection of a wide range of land uses. The Study Area dcfined for this East Trail
Master Plan Study begins to thc northwest at the intersection of Airport Road and the
East Trail, where the Collier County Govemment Complex is located. The southeastern
tcmlinus of the Study Arca is the intersection of County Road 92 and thc East Trail,
where the Collicr-Seminole State Park begins.
Due to the geographic extent of the l4-mile stretch of the Study Area, the area has been
divided into four Se6'111ents, depicted on the attached Vision Concept Plan. All the
segment lines do not cOlTespond with major roadways because the segments were divided
according to transitions in land usc patterns.
Segment 1 is approximately 2 miles between Airport Pulling Road and Valley
Stream Drive. Segment I includes Lake Avalon and the intersection of
Rattlesnake Hammock Boulevard.

4/12/2011 Item 6.C.
Vision/or the East Trail Corridor
Segment 2 is approximately 2.5 miles, from Valley Stream Drive to Navajo
Trail. Segment 2 contains mostly developed or planned residential
neighborhoods including Sabal Bay, Lely Country Club, Naples Manor, Treviso
Bay, and Whistler's Cove.
Segment 3 is approximately 3.5 miles, from Navajo Trail to Naples Reserve
Boulevard. Segment 3 includes Lely Resort, Eagle Creek, the C.R. 951
intersection, and the new Super WalMart.
Segment 4 is the longest segment, measuring approximately 6 miles, from
Naples Reserve Boulevard to County Road 92. This includes Reflection Lakes,
Fiddlers Creek, Six Ls Farm and Collier Seminole State Park.
The corridor is characterized by the established neighborhoods of East Naples, which
gradually transition to the southeast to more golf course communities and suburban and
rural style development. ln Se6'1nents 1 and 2 the commercial property along the East
Trail was limited in size after the widening of US 41, so that much of the commercial
land in these se6'111ents is underutilized.
The corridor is bisected by the intersection at County Road 951. This intersection is an
important crossroads because County Road 951 connects Naples to Marco Island going
south, and connects to the 1-75 interchange going north. The intersection is developing
with commercial shopping centers and big box retailers.
Moving to the southeast, the development along the corridor becomes more sparse, with
some suburban neighborhoods and more rural and agricultural lands. Potential for a new
self-sustaining neighborhood exists on the property owned by 6Ls Farm at the
southeastern end of the corridor, which is a large land area designated on the County
Future Land Use Map as eligible for a rural village.
For this planning effort, the Study Area has been limited to properties along the East Trail
within a half-mile distance from the centerline of the Trail. This half-mile dimension
allows our study to encompass parks and schools that are in close proximity and are
important to the corridor. The half-mile dimension also allows us to represent and
evaluate walkability in the fonn of pedestrian sheds.

Circulation
The East Trail is a signitlcant artcrial roadway that scrves the East Naples community.
The predominant mode of travel is by automobile. although the East Trail cOlTidor has
opportunities for alternative modes as well. The Collier County Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) labels the East Trail from Rattlesnake Hammock Road and north
into the City of Naples as a '"Congested Con-idor." The Collier County Growth
Management Plan delineates the U.S. 41 Transportation Concun-ency Exception Area
TCEA) at the northwest p0l1ion of the East Trail trom Rattlesnakc Hammock Road and
north to Davis Boulcvard. This dcsignation is established pursuant to FlOlida law in
rccognition of communities who adopt strategies for Urban Infill and Urban
Redcvelopment. This area of the East Trail is granted exceptions from traftic
concurrency because a varicty of uses are in closc proximity, and provisions for
altcrnatives to auto-only circulation are availablc. Such alternatives include: bike racks,
bus stops, mixed use devclopmcnt, and sidewalks. which are considered appropriate
sol utions to congested conditions.
Alternative modes exist and are planned for cxpansion along the corridor. The Collier
Area Transit service has bus routes j1-0111 the northwestern extent of the Study Area to
Greenway Road, and a future transit route is proposed to extend south to C .R. 92.

Sidewalks are primarily located within the East Trail right-of-way from the northwestern
tip of the Study Area to Naples Manor subdivision. Pathways are proposed to extend
from C.R. 951 south in the future. Bike lanes are primarily located within the corridor
from the northwestern tip of the Study Area to the Rattlesnake Hammock intersection.
Bike lanes are proposed extending south from C.R. 951 in the future.
Population Characteristics
Collier County's Comprehensive Planning Department delineates planning communities
and generates population figures for each area. The planning communities that relate to
the East Trail corridor are the East Naples, South Naples and Royal Fakapalm planning
communities. The County's statistics project population growth from 68,724 people in
2008 to 98,876 people in 2020, constituting an increase of 30,152 residents (an increase
of 44%). The figures show small growth of population in East Naples (northeastern.
portion of the corridor), an increase of 51% in South Naples (central portion of the
corridor) and growth that nearly doubles the population in the outlying Royal Fakapalm
area.

The 2000 Census data for Census Tracts adjacent to the East Trail corridor indicates a
median household income of $39,405 for this area, which slightly exceeded the State of
Florida's median household income of$38,819.
Neighborhood and Housing Conditions
The East Trail is a community of many neighborhoods. Older established neighborhoods
are located at the nOlihwestern pOliion of the corridor. proximate to many community
facilities.
From Rattlesnake Hammock Road and south, eXlstmg and planned large golf course
communities are the predominant neighborhood type, with the exception of some
established single family subdivisions including Naples Manor. Housing characteristics
range from older single family structures in established neighborhoods, to newer single
and multifamily structures in the gated and golf course communities. A cross section of
the community is served, from entry level housing to luxury estates.

Vision for the East Trail Corridor
South of C.R. 951, single family developments have been approved and developed along
side established larger tract subdivisions that accommodate rural single family homes and
some mobile homcs. Fiddlers Creek is a large community permitted for residential
development along an extensive section of this pmi of the corridor. Potential for a new
self-sustaining neighborhood exists on the property owned by 6Ls Farm at the
southeastern end of the corridor, which is a large land area desil,'Ilated on the County
Future Land Use Map as eligible for a rural village.
Economic Conditions and Trcnds
After years of dramatic economic growth through the last decade, economic conditions
have deteriorated for the country, the state, and particularly southwest Florida. Housing
and construction were primary economic drivers for this area throughout the past decade,
and the housing market has been in sharp decline since reaching its peak in 2005.
Development projects that were approvcd in recent years are facing financial difficulty as
homebuying lags behind market supply. With the drop in homebuying and consumer
spending, the commercial development supporting rcsidential areas along thc East Trail
has also suffered decline. Busincsses have closed and some new commercial
devclopments remain unoccupied. Economists indicate the outlook is a slow, steady
recovery over the next several years.
With thc development of a ncw hospital on County Road 951 near Rattlesnake Hammock
Road, along with thc County Governmcnt Center that will cndure as a major workplace,
the East Trail con'idor is an arc a that can continue to attract new residents and suppOli
ncw business if properly planncd.
Em'irolllllcntal Charactcristics
Beyond the most urban portions of thc cOlTidor. arcas sU1T(mnding the East Trail arc rich
in environmcntal quality. Sugden Park and Eagle Lakes Park provide a glimpse of the
natural features for the residents to enjoy in the more developed areas of the corridor.
The Collicr-Seminolc State Park at the southeastern tenninus of the corridor is a large
protected natural area. South and cast of the Study arca are Panther Zones designated by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Collier County's cnvironmental policies and
standards havc govemed the development of subdivisions built over the past 10-15 years
so that significant native vegetation is preserved and maintained in perpetuity. Such
environmental regulations shall continue to be observed and followed as the corridor
dcvclops, with a focus on avoiding impacts to wetlands and critical habitat for protected
specIes.

Past Planning efforts
The Community Character Plan for Collier County ("Character Plan") was completed in
2001. The Character Plan set forth goals and implementation steps to redefine centers of
activity and quality neighborhoods throughout the County. The Character Plan identified
the need to focus on building human scale settings rather than auto-oriented, single use
developments. The Plan illustrated photos that were ranked as the least appealing images
of Collier County according to a public image survey. As shown below, all three of the
lowest ranking photos were taken in East Naples. The Character Plan also included a
conceptual design study of the Naples Town Center shopping center, showing how infill
development could revitalize the declining strip mall as a mixed use center of activity.
The Character Plan put forth valuable plarming strategies and implementation steps to
promote quality design of the built environment in Collier County. Only a few of the
recommendations have resulted in new policies or techniques applied in the processing of
development projects.

Per Florida Statutes Section 163.3177 (13), local governments are encouraged to develop
a community vision that provides for sustainable growth, recognizes its fiscal constraints,
and protects its natural resources. The stakeholders along the East Trail corridor realize
that their future must be planned according to a vision that directs !,'Towth in an orderly
manner in appropriate locations. This visioning process for the East Trail incorporates
public involvement and applicable planning principles to arrive at a vision concept plan
and a vision statement with supporting goals and strategies to direct future development
along the corridor.
Public Involvement
A Public Input Meeting was held on March
30, 2009 to survey the priority issues of
property owners and residents along the
East Trail corridor. Property owners
adjacent to the East Trail and neighborhood
associations adjacent to the Study Area wcre
notified of thc meeting by mail, and it was
advertised in the Collier Citizen newspapcr.
An Image Preference Survey was conducted
with approximately 40 meeting attendees.
Thc Image Preference Survey consisted of
40 picturcs takcn both along the East Trail
and in other areas of Collier and Lee
Counties. Pictures ranged Ii-om rural scenic
vicws to urban hardscapes. The results of
the Image Preferencc Survey revcalcd that
the most favored llnagcs were wcll
landscaped semi urban and suburban scenes,
as illustrated to the right and below.

The images that were ranked as least favorable during the Image Survey are depicted
below. These images portray auto-oriented uses along roadways that are characteristic of
sprawl-like development.
Meeting attendees also answered individual questionnaires about their likes, dislikes and
vision for the East Trail's future. The issues most commented on by meeting attendees
concerned:
I. Development types (preferences for types of businesses and communities)
2. Aesthetic issues (appearance of roadsides and buildings)
3. Traffic (safety and convenience for cars and pedestrians)
Other comments rcccived relatcd to recreation, natural resources, community services,
and public safety.
For the final phase of the Public Input Meeting, attendees divided into workgroups of
four to eight participants. The workgroups focused on one of the four segments of the
corridor. The participants identified positives, negatives, and future goals for each
segment. The results of this exercise revealed that top priorities for all groups were
related to development types and aesthetics. Less noted were the other issues of
connectivity, natural resources, recrcation and public safety.

Vision for the East Trail Corridor
Applicable Planning Principles
Using the available data and priorities from the perspective of stakeholders along the
corridor, it is evident that a continuation of the past development patterns for twenty
more years into the future will not bring about desirable results. Today's struggling
commercial strip centers, disconnected neighborhoods, and automobile oriented buildings
and uses are not the tools for successful community development in the future. The
spread of suburban development sprawling into rural areas is a pattern the Florida
Legislature has identified as a problem for communities throughout the state. As a result,
Florida Statutes are designed to control growth management policy or land use changes
that result in low density, single use development in the countryside that constitutes
sprawl.

correspond to a planning model known as the Rural-Urban Transect.
A transect, in its origins (Von Humboldt 1790), is a geographical cross-
seetion of a region used to reveal a sequence of environments. Originally,
it was used to anaZvze natural ecologies, sho",'ing vmying characteristics
through different zones sueh as shores. wetlands, plains. and uplands.
For human environments, sueh a cross-section can be used to identifY a
set of habitats that vmy by their level and intensity of urban character, a
continuum that ranges fmm !'liral to urban. /n Transect planning, this
range of cln'ironmcnts is the hasis .for organi:::hlg the components of
urbanism: building. lot. land lise. street, and all of the a/her physical
elements o(the human hahi/at.
mlre:'. Duany, et al. S/liur/Code & Manual
Iiami: New Lrnan Publications, Inc. 2()()5).
The Rural-Urban Transect is a tool that helps us understand and govern the development
of communities. The Rural-Crban Transect defines the segments of a community from
its most intense "urban core" where the highest density and building heights exist, to the
moderately dense "urban center," the less dense "general urban" transect, the more
spacious "suburban" transect. the wooded and agricultural "rural" transect, and the
natural" transect consisting of unaltered landscape. In The Lexicon of the New
Urbanism published by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company, land use, building types, and
design standards are applied to each transect to establish human scale and sustainable
development patterns appropriate for the context of each area.
The East Trail currently incorporates a full range of urban to rural characteristics starting
at the County Government Complex at the Airp0l1 Road intersection, extending to
Collier-Seminole State Park at the County Road 92 intersection. Using the Rural-Urban
Transect typology as a guide to manage future growth along the corridor, the design of a
vision for tbe future of the East Trail takes shape.

Vision/or the East Trail Corridor
In order to fulfill the orderly development pattern of the Rural-Urban Transect model, the
areas along the East Trail Corridor must be designated with appropriate Transects of
Urban Center, General Urban, Suburban, Rural and Natural. Urban Core is not
recommended for the East Trail corridor, because Urban Core would be typical of a city
center which does not correspond to any portion of the East Trail.
Centers
Along with the Transect designations and related development standards that would be
applied to accomplish appropriate scale and style of development relative to location
along the corridor, a system of centers or nodes can be designated as concentrations of
activity. The Growth Management Plan already applies the principle of centers in the
form of Activity Centers located at major road intersections. The Community Character
Plan for Collier County sought to advance the concept of centers to be more than
commercial nodes. The Character Plan suggests convenient centers should offer the
following: quality experiences; diversity of uses, including retail, workplaces, housing,
and community facilities; and building types that are durable and flexible to be functional
as markets change. The centers should be scaled consistent with the Transect model, so
that intensity and design of the center relates to the intensity and design of the
surrounding area. Centers put forth in the Character Plan that would be appropriate along
the East Trail corridor range in type and scale from town centers, neighborhood centers,
village centers, hamlets, and rural crossroads.
Mobilitv
The third planning principle that relates to the corridor characteristics and public
priorities is mobility planning. The concept of mobility has eclipsed traditional
transportation planning models that focused on the automobile as the only measure of
successful connection between two points. A mandate for new transportation planning
methods in Florida became law in 2008 (Laws of Florida Chapter 2008-191/ House Bill
697). Florida's local governments are now required to adopt policies that discourage
urban sprawl, establish energy efficient land use pattcrns, and develop transportation
strategies to address reduction in !,'feenhouse gas emissions from the transportation
sector. In the QualizvlLevel of Service Handbook the Florida Department of
Transportation has created level of services measures so that transit services, bicycling,
and walking may be counted in addition to the traditional measure of road capacity to
serve community mobility needs.
This emphasis on developing in ways that reduce vehicle miles traveled results in
planning for nodes that allow mobility alternatives. Rather than putting more automobile
trips on the road, it is important to allow oppOliunities for walking, biking and riding the
bus to access community facilities, workplaces, and shopping. Quarter-mile and half-
mile pedestrian sheds, pedestrian COilllectivity, and bus transit are important concepts to
guide future development and redevelopment of property along the East Trail corridor.

To protect and enhance the quality of life for East Naples residents and business owners,
property along the East Trail shall be developed and redeveloped according to orderly
and enduring development patterns that concentrate community facilities and services in
locations that maximize residents' convenient access so that all needs can be met within
their own community, while protecting the scenic quality and natural resources of East
Naples.
The following goals and strategics are the result of community input and priorities for
how the East Trail should development in the future.
Goal 1. Establish a framework for orderly future development and redevelopment
that emulates the Rural-Urban Transect development pattern.
Strategies:
o Create a Vision Concept Plan as a graphic tool to show the desired
development patterns along the East Trail corridor.
o Establish land use and development standards that observe the range of
Urban to Rural characteristics along the East Trail and promote building
and site designs that provide quality environments.
o The Urban Center at the nOl1heastern portion of the conidor should be a
conccntration of shops, various residcntial unit typcs, offices, workplace,
civic buildings, and public space in thc forn1 of plazas and parks.
o General Urban areas in Segment] and Seb'ment 2 should be primarily low
to mcdium density rcsidential in nature but should provide opportunities
for mixed usc developments and live-work units, with quality landscaping
and public parks, squares and greens.
o The Suburban area in Segment 3 should primarily accommodate detached
single family home communities that appear landscapcd and b'l'een whcn
viewed from the road ("view shed dcvelopments"). Parks and b'l'eenways
arc also appropriate.
o The Rural arca in Segment 4 should primarily accommodate agriculture
and scattered buildings, in addition to vicwshed developments and a se1t:
sustaining planned rural village.
o The Natural arca is Collicr Seminole Statc Park at the southeastern
tern1inus of the conidor. which is to remain in its natural unaltered state
with thc exception of commercially designated land appropriate for a
corner store at the intersection of C.R. 92.
Goal 2. Establish centers that correspond to the Rural-Urban continuum to define
locations wherc the following components of a community converge: residential,
commercial, workplace, bus service, pedestrian paths, bike paths, and community
facilities.
Strategies:
o Establish land use and devclopment standards that encourage
concentration and mix of uses at ccnters with varying intensity based on
location and accessibility.

Vision/or the East Trail Corridor
o Town Centers are desib'Ilated at the following locations:
The Collier Countv Government Complex Town Center is a
location where all the components of community converge. The
complex is a bus transfer station and a major work center, with
connectivity to residential neighborhoods within a half mile radius.
The aging shopping centers of Walmart and Naples Town Center
are opportunities for redevelopment with more intense mixed use
settings to incorporate new restaurants and shops within the half
mile pedestrian shed.
The Rattlesnake Hammock Road Town Center is a location where
residential, workplace, bus service, pedestrian paths, bike paths
and community facilities converge within the half-mile pedestrian
shed. The future development of Sabal Bay could result in a new
school and more commercial uses, including addition of a
significant workplace. The aging shopping center at the southeast
corner of Rattlesnake Hammock and the East Trail is an
opportunity for redevelopment with a more intense mix of uses.
The Navaio Trail Town Center is a location where residential, bus
service, pedestrian paths, bike paths, schools, and a park exist, and
mixed use development is proposed on existing undeveloped and
underutilized sites.
o Neighborhood Centers are designated at the following locations:
The Sugden Park Neighborhood Center is a location where the
park, residential neighborhoods, commercial uses, bus route, and
some pedestrian facilities convcrge to conveniently serve the
Lakewood and Avalon area residents. Due to the short lot depth of
existing commercial properties along the corridor, low scale mixed
use and the introduction of live-work units is proposed for the
eventual redevelopment of the existing commercial properties.
The Saint Andrews Boulevard Ncighborhood Center is a location
where a commercial center, residential areas, pedestrian facilities,
the bus route, and the library converge to scrve Lely residents and
future residents of Treviso Bay. Mixcd use redevelopment and
infill dcvelopment of the existing commercial center is proposed to
fortify this location as a viable ccnter of neighborhood scale
services within walking and biking distance for the adjacent
neighborhoods.
The 951 Neighborhood Center is a location where commercial
centers, residential communities, and the bus route converge. This
location did not achieve status as a Town Center due to its location
in the Suburban Transect and the limited number of community
scrvice components that are viable for this location. Eventual
redevelopment of the shopping centers is envisioned as low scale,
walkable, mixed use development that creates an identity for the
951 intersection that relates to the large adjacent neighborhoods of

Lely Resort, Eagle Creek, and the other smaller residential
neighborhoods in close proximity.
o Village Centers are designated in the following locations:
The 6Ls Village Center is designated where the 6Ls Farm currently
exists. The Collier County Future Land Use Map designates this
large property as a receiving area eligible for development as a
rural village. Therefore, a Village Center is appropriate in this
location. The Village Center should serve the future rural village
as well as nearby residents with minimal commercial uses and
services needed for convenience.
o Hamlets are designated in the following locations:
The Manatee School Hamlet is a location where community
facilities are concentrated at the transition between the Suburban
and Rural transects. This hamlet is characterized by the existing
community facilities of the schools and the church. The location
could be further developcd as a focal point for cOlmnunity based
activities, along with commercial uses to serve nearby residents.
o Rural Crossroads are designated at the following location:
The C.R. 92 Rural Crossroads is designated for small scale
commercial uses such as a corner store due to its location in the
natural area of the Collier Seminole State Park.
Goal 3. Establish mobility strategies that facilitate pedestrian, bicycle, and bus
transit connections between established neighborhoods, new development and
redevelopment.
Stratcgies:
o Limit vehicle miles travel cd by concentrating development where bus,
pedestrian, and bicycle infrastructure exists or is planned.
o Allow mixed use development and live-work units along with reductions
in parking requirements as a mechanism to reduce vehicle miles travcled.
o Require connections between new and existing development. including
residential uses, commercial uses, and community facilities.
o lneorporatc new bus facilities in new developments.
o Promote complete strcet design for road improvement projects, so that
landscape treatments promoting pedestrian comfOli, as well as pathways,
bikeways and bus services, are critical components of the road design.
Goal 4. Promote economic development by planning for an appropriate mix of uses
and housing types to support viable new commercial, retail, restaurant, hotel, and
other services.
Strategies:
o Analyze market characteristics and trends to identify oppOliumtJes and
limitations that affect devclopment and location of desired uses along the
COITidoL
o Coordinate with the Economic Development Council to develop a strategy
to attract new desired businesses.

About this Study
The East Naples Foundation, Inc., the
philanthropic arm of the East Naples Civic
Association (ENCA), is seeking community
involvement to fund and complete a corridor study
of Tamiami Trail East (the "East Trail") from its
Airport Pulling Road intersection south to its
County Road 92 intersection. The study is expected
to define an identity for the East Trail corridor.
The ultimate I-esult of the study is a Corridor Plan
that indicates existing qualities to be protected,
target areas for development and redevelopment,
and an overall vision for the future.
Objective of this Study
The objective of this study is to anticipate,
plan, and identify adjustments to regulatory
framework so that the East Trail corridor
grows viably while protecting quality of life.
This study will ultimately result in a plan that
documents the current conditions of the East
Trail, identifies the vision for the future of the
corridor based on community input, and
outlines the goals, objectives and policies that
will guide future development.
Public Involvement
The public involvement component of this study is important. Property owners along the corridor, nearby
residents and business owners, and other stakeholders in the area, will have opportunities to participate in the
study process. Through newsletters and two public meetings, the East Naples Foundation seeks to include and
inform the community during the process. The first public workshop is scheduled for March 30, 2009 and the
second will be determined based on availability of funds to continue the study effort. To support or get more
information about the effort, please contact enaplesfnd@aol.com

Re: U.S. 41 Corridor Study – Summary of Findings and Recommendations
PProject Description
The limits of this U.S. 41 Corridor Study extend approximately 6.8 miles along U.S. 41 between Palm
Street/Commercial Drive and Price Street. The Study Area is defined as the commercially zoned parcels
that are adjacent to U.S. 41 (see Figure 1 on the following page). Within this corridor, approximately 1.25
miles are within the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area from Palm Street/Commercial Drive
to Haldeman Creek.1
The Study Area is generally suburban in nature
with segments that vary in character from the
northern redevelopment area to the southern
area emerging with new residential
communities and shopping centers. There are
few destinations along the corridor for
community attraction or entertainment other
than Sugden Regional Park and Eagle Lakes
Community Park.
The purpose of this Study is to determine the
public’s preferences for future development
types and uses so that those types of
development and uses can be facilitated and
incentivized through Comprehensive Plan
policies and Land Development Code.
1 The U.S. 41 Corridor Study Area defined for this planning effort does encompass some property within the Bayshore Gateway Triangle
Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) boundary, however the recommendations of this Study are only for lands outside of the CRA
boundary. Any reference to property within the CRA boundary is not intended to alter or vary from the CRA’s Redevelopment Plan that
guides and governs all future development within the CRA.

PPublic Involvement Summary
The main objective of the Study was to conduct public input meetings to help the community discern the
best potential outcomes to serve community needs along the corridor.
Initial Stakeholder Outreach was performed in June, July, and August 2017. Stakeholder Outreach included
attendance and presentation of the purpose of the Corridor Study at the East Naples Civic Association
meeting of July 5, 2017, the East Naples Merchant’s Association meeting of August 10, 2017, and the
Bayshore Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board Meetings of June 6, 2017
and August 1, 2017. See Attachment 1 for the handout that was provided during Stakeholder Outreach.
In addition to Stakeholder Outreach, three public input meetings were held as described below. These
meetings were noticed through media postings by the East Naples Civic Association, East Naples Merchant’s
Association, and Bayshore Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Agency.
The three public input meetings were conducted in the same manner, with a 30- to 40-minute presentation
describing existing conditions and commercial siting influences, and a 19-item image preference survey. The
image preference survey was organized to obtain input on the preferred outcomes in the following realms:
1) Desired aesthetic or community character: Participants were asked to indicate preferences for
different corridor features and development forms, including landscaping, green space or vistas,
building massing, building scale and building position along the street.

April 3, 2018
Page 4
2) Desired development types and uses: Participants were asked to indicate preferences for
different development types and uses, including hotels, shopping centers, mixed use, live-work,
entertainment, multifamily, and live-work.
3) Regulatory options: Participants were asked to indicate preference for different regulatory
options to influence future development along the corridor through incentives or standards.
4) Administrative options: Participants were asked to indicate preference for establishing a
redevelopment agency, taxing unit or community branding effort.
Participants also had the opportunity for a Question and Answer period, and forms were available for
attendees to submit written comments. During the three public input meetings, a total of approximately
144 participants attended and performed the image preference survey. A total of 107 written comments
were also received. Meeting summaries, survey results, written comments and sign-in sheets for each of the
three meetings are provided in Attachment 2.
FFindings

buffer and single bay of parking
x 92% support median and roadside llandscaping with shade trees and palms
x 81% support ffour- to five-story mixed use buildings when “all of the above” responses are included.
x 89% support mmore local restaurants when “all of the above” responses are included, and 89%
support mmore sit down restaurants when “all of the above” responses are included
x 79% support ddestination shopping (five-story Mercato was pictured in the image).

x 72% support ttwo- to three-story “live-work” buildings with workplaces on ground floors and
residences above when “all of the above” responses are included, with 59% supporting a ttraditional
two-story main street style appearance when “all of the above” responses are included.
x 94% agree with iincentives to encourage preferred development types, with 42% preferring impact
fee credits for tear down and re-build situations when “all of the above” responses are included.
x 96% agree with rregulatory updates for development along the corridor, with 48% preferring
updated standards for landscaping, when “all of the above” responses are included.
x 90% agree with administrative changes, with 62% preferring a ccommunity based branding effort to
establish an identity and marketing program, when “all of the above” responses are included.
The outcome of the image preference survey revealed the majority of participants do not support the
following:
x 67% ddo not support self storage facilities, however 31% favored one that is multi-story with
Mediterranean architecture and landscaping (Coconut Point self-storage facility was pictured in the
image).
x 64% ddo not support gas stations, however 30% favored one that is buffered with landscaping

A final public meeting was held on February 21, 2018 to review the findings and proposed recommended
actions. Attendees also had the opportunity for a Question and Answer period, and forms were available
for attendees to submit written comments. Approximately 44 attendees were present, and nineteen written
comments were collected.

April 3, 2018
Page 6
The comments provided at the final meeting covered a wide range of topics and opinions. The most
commented topics were relatively consistent with the comments received at the three earlier Public Input
Meetings, except that references to undesired uses made up a larger proportion of comments received.
The final meeting comments were primarily regarding: undesired uses, preferred development, bicycle and
pedestrian safety, and rebranding. The presentation, written comments and sign-in sheets for this meeting
are provided in Attachment 3.
The findings from all the public surveys and comments were organized into priorities representing public’s
most commented issues. “Main points” corresponding to each priority topic are provided below to
summarize the general consensus on these topics derived from comments and feedback during the public
meetings.
Some participants were vocal about the development types they that do NOT prefer, such as affordable
housing and storage facilities, however the focus of this study was to identify mechanisms for encouraging
development types that are preferred. Therefore, the priority topics include reference to new and different
businesses desired, rather than reference to precluding certain uses.
Priority Topics Main Points
Community identity
East Naples residents support branding the area to make the assets
of the area known and attract more of what the community wants.
New and different businesses
are desired:
Hotel/Resort, Grocery options,
Wholesale Club, Restaurants
Any change must be part of a framework that controls for
appearance, intensity and traffic.
Transportation
The corridor has too much traffic and not enough safe bicycle and
pedestrian features and open space.
Redevelopment
Improvement to unsightly, older buildings and vacant commercial
buildings is needed.
Landscaping Enhance the appearance along the roadside.
RRecommendations
Recommended actions were developed to address the priority topics that were voiced by the public. The
recommended actions were derived based on the understanding of the East Trail Corridor conditions and
the following commercial siting constraints:
U.S. 41 Corridor Study – Summary of Findings and Recommendations
April 3, 2018
Page 7
x Limited number of four-way intersections compromising the ability of businesses to maximize
visibility and accessibility in the marketplace.
x Small lot sizes limiting ability to design and enhance the appearance of businesses and properties.
x Challenges of the width and speed of a six-lane state highway for businesses to sustain in an
attractive and successful way, and for the public to comfortably travel by car, bicycle or foot.
The recommended actions are consistent with planning concepts for revitalization of commercial strip
corridors endorsed by the American Planning Association, Congress for New Urbanism, and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency Smart Growth Program. The Collier County Community Character Plan
2001) and the Blue Zones Project East Naples Discovery Report (2018) were also used as resources in
the preparation of these recommendations.
The community members’ objective to see the East Trail corridor and their community transform into a
desirable place that is more attractive, vibrant, and less dominated with traffic, requires comprehensive
changes to the physical conditions of the corridor’s transportation infrastructure and built environment.
This can be achieved through multiple steps over many years, including: a community based branding effort
to identify and promote the desired conditions within and outside the community, amendment to the
Growth Management Plan and the Land Development Code consistent with the vision for a variety of
destinations with more greenery and less congestion, and infrastructure enhancements to improve the safety
for all users and enhance appearance along the U.S. 41 right-of-way.
Six recommendations are enumerated below to move forward with the desires that the community
expressed. The recommendations can be considered in two increments:
Quick fix” recommendations can be accomplished within one to two years, including revisions and
adjustments to the Land Development Code, and
Long term recommendations will require additional impact analysis and potential amendment to the
Growth Management Plan and other major plans, which could take two to four years, or longer
relative to transportation planning.
QUICK FIX RECOMMENDATION # 1) CCommunity based branding project
Civic and Business organizations should work together to establish a theme and identity and then promote
the community and its vision.
This recommenda tion reflects the second most commented item, which is the community’s desire to esta blish its
identity, to celebra te its a ttributes, a nd to encourage a nd a ttra ct more of the development types a nd uses tha t a re
considered la cking in the a rea . The idea of a community-based branding effort to esta blish an identity and marketing
progra m wa s the a dministra tive cha nge supported by the most survey participa nts. This is a Quick Fix
recommenda tion because it ca n be initia ted by the community lea ders immedia tely.
U.S. 41 Corridor Study – Summary of Findings and Recommendations
April 3, 2018
Page 8
TThe branding project would be sponsored and coordinated by civic groups as a mechanism for community members
to come together a nd genera te a “bra nd” that sets the community apart, helps define the first impressions to others
of what the community stands for, and helps foster a sense of pride and enthusiasm for the future.
QUICK FIX RECOMMENDATION #2) DDesired businesses
The County Growth Management Department should provide information to the development community
about outcomes of the Study and uses that are preferred.
This recommendation reflects the first and second most commented items, which are to encourage preferred types
of new a nd different businesses to locate in the a rea a nd to establish a nd communica te a new “brand” to others.
This is a Quick Fix recommenda tion because it ca n be implemented by County sta ff immedia tely upon Boa rd
direction.
Ma ny pa rticipants in the public meetings identified certa in reta ilers a nd resta ura nts tha t a re desired to locate in
the a rea . With growth a nd permitting trends indicating a steady increase in the number of households in East
Na ples, there will be a la rger customer ba se tha t commercia l interests na tura lly follow. The County sta ff is often
one of the first points of conta ct for those who seek to develop in the County, therefore the opportunity for County
staff to provide the outcomes of the U.S. 41 Corridor Study and the future bra nding project will help convey the
community’s interests ea rly in the process a nd potentially influence some decision ma king a bout design a nd types
of uses a nd orienta tion of those uses by potentia l developers.
QUICK FIX RECOMMENDATION # 3) RRedevelopment and development standards
a) New development will meet Collier County’s architectural and signage standards and further refined
redevelopment standards.
b) For gas station or self storage development, consider separation requirements, location standards
or minimum percentages of retail or office mix as part of these developments to mitigate for
proliferation along this corridor.
This recommendation reflects the reality of the conditions of the corridor; a focus on redevelopment and
development sta ndards is necessary to achieve the community members’ objective to transform the corridor to be
more a ttra ctive, vibra nt, a nd less domina ted with traffic. Because the County is actively addressing many of these
issues by prepa ring new redevelopment sta ndards, this is considered a Quick Fix recommenda tion tha t ca n be
a ccomplished through La nd Development Code a mendments.
Redevelopment activities a re increasingly at the forefront of the County’s planning and development process a s
older buildings rea ch the end of their functiona l lives in the esta blished urba n a rea s, while demands for more housing
a nd services continue in these area s. The County has a n Impa ct Fee Cha nge of Use Progra m for Existing
Commercia l Development which helps to incentivize the re-use of esta blished buildings. Demolition and
reconstruction projects a re not eligible for this progra m. Some redevelopment regula tions ha ve been a dopted,
U.S. 41 Corridor Study – Summary of Findings and Recommendations
April 3, 2018
Page 9
iincluding the Site Plan with Devia tions process to a llow relief for those redeveloping properties that are too small
or otherwise constrained and unable to meet some of today’s more stringent requirements.
The recommenda tion to further refine redevelopment standards and apply these along the corridor is pa rt of a n
ongoing County effort to recognize the development potentia l that ca n be derived from older strip centers tha t a re
underperforming. Redevelopment of shopping centers, large pa rking lots and la rge empty storefronts can be
encoura ged by allowing mix of residentia l a nd commercia l uses in a wa y tha t a llows for rela xed pa rking sta nda rds,
resulting in more a rea s for landsca ping a nd open spa ces.
As pa rt of the effort to refine redevelopment sta nda rds, the County should revisit separa tion requirements for ga s
sta tions a nd self stora ge fa cilities, as these uses a re contra ry to revita liz a tion strategies a imed to promote more
huma n sca le a nd vibrant environments. These a lterna tive stra tegies should be considered for controlling prolifera tion
of ga s sta tions a nd self storage facilities:
Sepa ration requirements may be increased from the currently adopted 500-foot separation requirement
for gas stations to a quarter-mile (1,320 feet), which is the dista nce a pedestrian will typically walk
comforta bly within five minutes. This would relieve the sense of prolifera tion by providing a separation that
is consistent with the basic building block of a pedestrian scale environment. Such a requirement may be
a pplied to self-stora ge fa cilities as well. The LDC would continue to a llow applicants to request waivers
through the Boa rd of Zoning Appea ls process.
In a ddition to sepa ra tion requirements, the loca tion of new ga s sta tions or self stora ge facilities ca n be
limited or restricted in Activity Centers to maintain the intention for those nodes to be pedestria n friendly,
huma n sca le live/work/pla y settings. Applica nts could be given the opportunity to seek Boa rd of Zoning
Appea ls a pprova l of such a fa cility in a n Activity Center by demonstra ting the fa cility meets stringent design
criteria , or by incorpora ting a minimum percenta ge, such a s 25% of the fa cility, to be used for community
oriented genera l reta il, persona l service, or genera l or professional office use.
QUICK FIX & LONG TERM RECOMMENDATION #4) LLandscaping
Implement a roadside landscaping enhancement strategy.
a) Substitute standards for landscaping in front yards for better “curb appeal” specific to conditions of
U.S. 41 East.
b) Review options for enhanced roadside landscaping in the right-of-way.
These recommendations reflect the eighth most commented item, which wa s landsca ping. The recommendation to
implement overla y zoning sta ndards to address landsca ping was the regulatory idea supported by the most survey
pa rticipants. This is both a Quick Fix recommenda tion because standards can be updated through Land
Development Code amendments, and a Long Term recommenda tion because enha nced roadside landscaping in
the right-of-way requires at least three years to plan, fund, design, permit, and construction.
The commercia l development that exists a long U.S. 41 between the activity center nodes is limited in potentia l for
significant changes or redevelopment due to traffic conditions and the constra ined size of the lots. Aesthetic

iimprovements, such as roadside landsca ping will help improve the attractiveness for these businesses to residents
a nd the travelling public.
The landscaping standards that apply to the front yards along the East Trail are the same as for all of Collier
County, however the conditions along the East Trail are very unique due to the size and orientation of lots. An
Overlay for corridor-specific landscaping standards can be applied to this Study Area through Land Development
Code amendments. The front yard buffer standa rds need not be necessarily more strict or encumbering of the
properties, but they can be more responsive to the existing conditions with appropria te species, sizes and
a rrangements of landscaping and more consistent with the manicured appearance that was favored by most survey
participants.
The options for enha nced roadway landsca ping in the right-of-way requires landscape architectura l planning and
coordina tion between FDOT and County Transportation and Landscape Architecture staff to determine an
a ppropriate variety of roadside landscaping tha t works within the constra ints of the U.S. 41 right-of-way. This has
been accomplished in other communities (see image below of U.S. 41 right-of-way landsca ping enhancements in
Bonita Springs). Enhancements of this nature require coordina tion on design, permitting, funding and maintenance
to achieve local goals.
Landscaping enhancements along U.S. 41 in the City of Bonita Springs
LONG TERM RECOMMENDATION #5) Identify ttarget locations or “nodes” for allowing preferred new
types of development and redevelopment.
a) Confirm or expand the 3 existing Activity Centers: Airport Road; Thomasson/Rattlesnake; Collier
Boulevard.
b) Consider addition of 2 new minor Activity Center opportunities at: St Andrews Square and
Vincentian PUD/Eagle Lakes Park.
U.S. 41 Corridor Study – Summary of Findings and Recommendations
April 3, 2018
Page 11
c) Apply Redevelopment/Infill incentives and standards for Mixed Use Destinations and Hotels in these
locations.
TThese recommendations reflect the first most commented item, which is to encourage preferred types of new and
different businesses to loca te in the a rea . These recommendations are long term because they require amendment
to the Growth Management Plan, which requires additiona l supporting analysis and takes one to two years.
The beginning of a more organized development pattern for the corridor is the identifica tion of nodes for centers of
a ctivity to concentrate, with incentiviza tion for the desired Mixed Use Destinations with shopping and restaurants
a nd hotels. These nodes need to be located where the market drives development to occur, at intersections. The
three existing intersections that are designated as Activity Centers are #16-Government Complex, #17-
Thomasson/Rattlesnake Hammock, and #18-Collier Bouleva rd. These are already built or under development, and
should be evaluated for expansion. One opportunity is the expansion of the Government Complex Activity Center
to include Naples Towne Center.Expansion areas a nd new activity centers at St.Andrews Square and the
Vincentian PUD should be evalua ted to determine the potential to help fill in ga ps a long the corridor and allow
more opportunities for desired uses.
In addition to the amendments to the Future Land Use Map series necessary to redefine Activity Centers, text
a mendments to the Growth Management Pla n would be need to be evaluated if the potential for higher densities
or intensities or other changes that would help encoura ge redevelopment of the older underperforming shopping
centers and encourage development of a mix of uses for live/work/play environments that are able to endure the
trending decline of brick-and-morta r retail a nd provide for adequate return on investment. If necessary,
corresponding zoning policies and standards would be implemented through further refinement of redevelopment
a nd development standards in the Land Development Code.

LONG TERM RECOMMENDATION # 6) TTransportation Needs
a) Identify opportunities to use connecting street for bicycles and pedestrians.
b) Coordinate with the Collier MPO Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan to identify locations for new
sidewalks, bikeways, transit and greenways and connections to serve the corridor.
c) Establish design criteria to promote secondary corridors to connect to commercial and mixed use
centers.
d) Coordinate with County Transportation staff & Florida DOT on options for retrofitting
enhancements, start with intersections.
This set of recommendations reflects the third and fourth most commented items, which were traffic and bicycle
a nd pedestria n opportunities. While this Study was not intended to contemplate changes to the roadway
infra structure (tra vel la nes, pedestrian facilities, or roadway landsca ping) these elements contribute to the
experience along the corridor, and must be considered as part of any long term planning for revitalization along the
corridor.
Accomplishing physica l change to the U.S. 41 roadway itself is a major challenge. It is a state highwa y built for a
significant amount of traffic, so any reduction in traffic capacity would require alterna tive routes, and this is
geographically not feasible. Thus, recommendations are meant to improve the network of roads that connect to
a nd run parallel to U.S. 41, and to incrementa lly seek to retrofit enhancements to improve the experience for
pedestrians, bicyclists a nd motorists in coopera tion with FDOT.
Connecting streets are the “feeder” streets that connect most residential communities to the U.S. 41 corridor.
Bicycle and pedestrian facilities should be added or enha nced along these streets to make connections from
residentia l a reas to locations where destina tions or “nodes” are pla nned a long the corridor. These “nodes” and
intersections a long U.S. 41 should be a priority issue when County Transporta tion sta ff coordina tes with Florida
Depa rtment of Transportation on retrofitting enhancements and improving safety, especially for pedestria ns a nd
bicyclists.
The streets pa rallel to U.S. 41 should be considered opportunities for developing a safer path for bicyclists a nd
pedestria ns to move up and down the corridor. For much of the 6.8-mile U.S. 41 Study Area , the road network
features para llel streets including Tamiami Lane, Outer Drive, Florida n Avenue, Tamiami Court, and 1st Street. These
parallel streets are an opportunity for safe and convenient movement of bicyclists a nd pedestrians.
Proposed bicycle and pedestrian network improvements for the East Naples area should be identified by County
Transporta tion staff and coordinated with the Collier MPO Bicycle/Pedestria n Master Plan so that locations for new
sidewalks, bikeways, transit and greenwa ys and connections ca n be planned, funded and developed.
Missing links along the parallel corridors can be filled through design standards that promote linkage to these
secondary corridors a s pa rt of new development or redevelopment of commercial and mixed use centers. The

U.S. 41 Corridor Study
Public Input Meeting #1 Summary
October 3rd, 2017 – East Naples Community Park (6:00pm-8:00pm)
The first of three public input meetings for the U.S. 41 Corridor Study was held on October 3, 2017 at East
Naples Community Park. The meeting began at approximately 6:00 p.m. The Bayshore Gateway Triangle
Community Redevelopment Area Advisory Board met prior to this meeting from approximately 5:00 to
6:00 p.m., allowing for its members and audience to attend the U.S. 41 Corridor Study meeting thereafter.
Because of the transitioning from one meeting to another, there was no ability to perform a sign-in system
for audience members attending this meeting. Based on the number of responses received during the
survey portion of the meeting, approximately 70 audience members participated.
Laura DeJohn, Principal Planner with Johnson Engineering and Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning Director of
Collier County Growth Management, began the evening with a presentation summarizing the U.S. 41
Corridor Study background and purpose. Laura gave a description of physical characteristics of the corridor,
including existing transportation infrastructure, traffic counts, and lot dimensions. Laura summarized the
proportions of existing uses and future land use and zoning. Mike discussed demographics and real estate
market conditions, followed by an explanation of commercial development patterns. He identified the
potential for growth in the vicinity of the corridor including thousands of new dwelling units and substantial
new commercial development based on approvals in place for the next five to ten years. Mike identified
the trends in Internet shopping and integration of uses to maximize live/work/play opportunities, with an
example being the proposed Mini-Triangle development at the intersection of U.S. 41 and Davis Boulevard.
Laura concluded the presentation by explaining options for incentives, regulation changes and administrative
changes that could impact the look and the type of development along the corridor in the future. She
highlighted the meeting schedule for the next public meetings and next steps for the study.
Several questions were raised by the audience. There were concerns raised about how increased
development will be detrimental to traffic and congestion.
The next portion of the meeting was the Image Preference
Survey. Audience members were given the option to respond
to the survey on paper or electronically using cellular devices.
Based on the survey responses, approximately 70 audience
members participated. Audience members were advised that
the results will be tallied with the results of the subsequent
public input meetings and final public meeting to present
findings was to be scheduled for December 2017/January
2018. (*Note this meeting schedule was subsequently altered,
and the presentation of findings was re-scheduled for February
21, 2018.)

Need to take in to account that the Downtown area may grow rapidly East as a financial center.
Infrastructure Infrastructure first!We cant support more growth without better infrastructure.
Traffic Plan for traffic.Year round residents should be able to access their own community.
Traffic
Think speed limit on 41 east beyond rattlesnake needs to be addressed it is 50+mph not condusive for
patrons of commercial to ingress and egress highway.Some for residential.
Traffic Concerns of traffic on corridor from new developments
Traffic Roads must grow with development
Traffic Stop lights on the corridor are too much.
Bikes
Pedestrians
All new development should take pedestrian and bike traffic into consideration.Bike/walking trails sheilded
from vehicle traffic and landscaped with shade trees is needed. Walkway over or tunnel under 41 to provide
greenway for those of us who are willing walk/bike and recreate within the urban environment.
Landscaping

A reason this area impressed me was the beautiful boulevard areas on the roadway and the natural
landscaping in the medians.Natural walkable pathways and bike paths appeal to me.Easy access into and
out of shopping centers.

U.S. 41 Corridor Study
Public Input Meeting #2 Summary
November 7, 2017 – Eagle Lakes Community Park (6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.)
The second public input meeting was at Eagle Lakes Park on November 7, 2017. Sign in sheets indicate
approximately 50 meeting attendees were present. The meeting format, presentation, and survey were the
same as the October 3, 2017 public meeting, except that the survey was updated with some options for
participants to select “all of the above” as a response, and a question about take out or sit down restaurants
was added to the survey.
Laura DeJohn, Principal Planner with Johnson Engineering
and Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning Director of Collier
County Growth Management, summarized the U.S. 41
Corridor Study background and purpose. Laura gave a
description of physical characteristics of the corridor,
including existing transportation infrastructure, traffic
counts, and lot dimensions. Laura summarized the
proportions of existing uses and future land use and zoning.
Mike discussed demographics and real estate market conditions, followed by an explanation of commercial
development patterns. He identified the potential for growth in the vicinity of the corridor including
thousands of new dwelling units and substantial new commercial development based on approvals in place
for the next five to ten years. He distributed a handout of the County’s current permitting activity, which
indicated several new commercial developments in the East Naples vicinity are in the pipeline. Mike identified
the trends in Internet shopping and integration of uses to maximize live/work/play opportunities, with an
example being the proposed Mini-Triangle development at the intersection of U.S. 41 and Davis Boulevard.
Laura concluded the presentation by explaining options for incentives, regulation changes and administrative
changes that could impact the look and the type of development along the corridor in the future. She
highlighted the meeting schedule for the next public meetings and next steps for the study. The public
meeting schedule included the addition of a third public input meeting on January 16, 2018 to allow for
more seasonal participants, and the final meeting for presentation of findings and recommendations was set
for February 21, 2018.
Several questions were raised by the audience. There were concerns raised about vehicular traffic and
congestion, and pedestrian safety. Concern was noted about the high traffic congestion levels during peak
months of the year. The concept of re-branding East Naples as “South Naples” was raised by one attendee.
The desires expressed by some attendees for destinations such as sit-down restaurants were discussed
relative to the concern that increased development will be detrimental to traffic and congestion. Mike Bosi
discussed how addition of new destinations along the East Trail could alleviate some time spent in the car
travelling a longer distance to reach at those destinations if they are not developed along the East Trail.
The next portion of the meeting was the Image Preference Survey. Audience members were given the
option to respond to the survey on paper or electronically using cellular devices. Audience members were
advised that the results will be tallied with the results of the other two public input meetings and the final
public meeting to present findings will be February 21, 2018.

Rebranding East Naples Village"
Rebranding Perhaps consider East Naples South Naples"
Rebranding Prospective slogan Best of Everything”
Rebranding Rename this area of Naples to South Naples"and the perception may change for East Naples,resulting in positive
Rebranding
I strongly feel that East Naples has a negative connotation.Perhaps it is with good cause due to the current shape of the
corridor.I am very supportive of a renaming or a rebranding effort.
Rebranding
Rebranding is the most critical thing that needs to happen.Need to change image as well as build what people want.A
consistent style might help i.e. charming,modern or artsy).
Traffic
Traffic especially during season.It's already bad",more people will make it worse".Possible other/better sideroads,
sidewalks,etc.
Traffic More roads,different travel options
Traffic
Always consider traffic add traffic lights where nessecary.Lights keep people safe.Insert bike lanes,consider bike paths
further removed from the roads.

Pedestrians
Remember those biking and walking
Bikes
Pedestrians
Need to coordinate HOW we get to these places with less individual cars.Pedestrian/Bicycle over passes 2 minimum
needed.Improve quality and frequency of buses.
Bikes
Pedestrians
I would like to see a greater emphasis on making East Naples more of a walkable/bikeable community.East Naples is in
desperate need of wider sidewalks at least 7 feet),wider bike lanes or shared use paths,lighting and mid block crossing.
There are many folks that bike or walk to downtown Naples and need safe ways to do so.Creating a walkable/bikeable
community can also draw retail.
Bikes
Pedestrians
Any development must take into account alternative forms of transportation bicycle and pedestrians).
Incentives All incentives are okay,but the most incentives should beprovided to those that tear down existing eyesores.
Incentives Reduce impact fee’s for certain identified uses.
Incentives Perpetuate the impact fee moratorium for change of use when a building is torn down.
Incentives
Investigate additional incentives to attact businesses and development i.e.bond sales for tax increment financing of
improvements)
Incentives Increased density in Coastal High Hazard for rental community.
Open Space
East Naples could be a area where outdoor recreation is emphasized.No need to pave over paradise.If you
want North Naples move there.
Open Space Open space is an advantage for East Naples,carefully planned development is a must.

U.S. 41 Corridor Study
Public Input Meeting #Summary
JJanuary 16, 2018 – Eagle Lakes Community Park (6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.)
The third of three public input meetings was held
on January 16, 2018 at Eagle Lakes Community
Park. This meeting was scheduled as an
additional opportunity to capture input from
seasonal residents. Sign in sheets indicate
approximately 24 meeting attendees were
present. The meeting format, presentation, and
survey were the same as the November 7, 2017
meeting.
Laura DeJohn, Principal Planner with Johnson Engineering and Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning Director of
Collier County Growth Management, summarized the U.S. 41 Corridor Study background and purpose.
Laura gave a description of physical characteristics of the corridor.
Questions and concerns were raised about traffic and the
nature of the roadway being an inhospitable large roadway
under Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
jurisdiction. Another concern was the safety of pedestrian
and bicycle traffic. Mike explained pedestrian improvement
opportunities based on a recent visit to the corridor from
transportation planning expert Dan Burden. Laura
described how the FDOT has adopted a Complete Streets
program that is more responsive and willing to work with
local jurisdictions on the design of the roadway to match the
community character. This means that FDOT’s polices are
now more adaptable for roadway designs to be slower,
calmer, or more pedestrian friendly in an area where a
community has adopted urban type development or
redevelopment plans. Concern about the concentration of
lower income housing in East Naples was also raised.
Laura proceeded to give a description of physical characteristics of the corridor, including existing
transportation infrastructure, traffic counts, and lot dimensions. She summarized the proportions of existing
uses and future land use and zoning. Mike discussed demographics and real estate market conditions,
followed by an explanation of commercial development patterns. He identified the potential for growth in
the vicinity of the corridor including thousands of new dwelling units and substantial new commercial
development based on approvals in place for the next five to ten years. He referenced the County’s current
permitting activity, which indicated several new commercial developments in the East Naples vicinity are in
the pipeline. Mike identified the trends in Internet shopping and integration of uses to maximize
live/work/play opportunities, with an example being the proposed Mini-Triangle development at the
intersection of U.S. 41 and Davis Boulevard.
A meeting attendee brought photos of vacant
commercial units along the corridor to highlight
the issue of underutilized existing commercial
space.
1/ 16/ 18 Public Input Meeting Summary Page 2
Laura concluded the presentation by explaining options for incentives, regulation changes and administrative
changes that could impact the look and the type of development along the corridor in the future. She
highlighted the next step for the study is the final meeting for presentation of findings and recommendations
set for February 21, 2018.
The next portion of the meeting was the Image Preference Survey. Audience members were given the
option to respond to the survey on paper or electronically using cellular devices. Audience members were

Pedestrians
Must link green space to provide a transportation corridor for bikes/pedestrians.Curb cuts on 41 pose greatest
dangers to bikes/pedestrians.Would be good to have service corridors off 41,perhaps behind commercial
development,dedicated to bikes and pedestrians.Also,need to be strategically placed over pass/underpass for
pedestrian/bike crossings.Slowing traffic probably not an option.Just provide safe spaces for East traveling
West pedestrians/bikes.

Pedestrians
Bike paths are important to my family
Infrastructure Water is going to be a major issue if building keeps going at this rate
Traffic
Don’t create a situation which we can’t get out of our communities because of two much traffic and lack of
traffic lights.Add a traffic light at 41 Lely Resort Blvd.
Traffic I love South Naples but find myself driving to North Naples all the time and its exhausting
Rebranding
East Naples is HUGE!Can we be called South East Naples or South East Trail Area?Something to uniquely
identify the area.

Findings from Surveys and Comments
Priority Topics Main Points
Community identity
East Naples residents support branding the
area to make the assets of the area known and
attract more of what the community wants.
New and different businesses are desired:
Hotel/Resort,Grocery options,Wholesale
Club,Restaurants
Any change must be part of a framework that
controls for appearance,intensity and traffic.
Transportation
The corridor has too much traffic and not
enough safe bicycle and pedestrian features
and open space.
Redevelopment Improvement to unsightly,older buildings and
vacant commercial buildings is needed.
Landscaping Enhance the appearance along the roadside.
Findings:Changes are Happening
Incremental changes occur as more housing develops and population increases to support commercial businesses.
2/21/2018
25
Findings:Future changes can be planned
Repair”of the Commercial Strip
1. Identify nodes for centers of activity and
more desired uses these should be at
intersections and relate to transit or trolley
stops.
2. Connecting streets should be incorporated in
plans and provide for bicycles and
pedestrians.
3. Establish standards and incentives for:
Nodes or activity centers with possibility
for mixed use,variety of live work play
uses,structured parking and open spaces
or greens”
Enhanced aesthetics between the nodes

Traffic / Redevelopment
Traffic on the East Trail is expanding, more year-round residents, therefore increasing traffic. Where you expect to have bike trails andwalking
areas, as time goes on the danger of people being hit by cars increase. I fear ultimately we will end up looking like Miami. Don't need new
developments - need reuse & redevelopment of existing structures only.
NOT Preferred Development /
Rebranding
Nice Job! Heard comments about lack of county's openness to "bans". Can we be more firm then on minimum distances between things like
storage facilities? An extended approval process isn't enough deterrent to keep E. Naples from becoming the "warehouse district". Also, fully
support rebranding "East Naples" to "South Naples". Again, thanks!!
Bike & Peds Possibly elevated walkways "over US 41" to cross over to other side of street and activity centers. Enjoy the information being shared
Rebranding / Preferred
Development
To give an identity - focus on the Naples-Everglades existence. Pursue pedestrian bridges. Bookstore needed - there are10 in Sarasota only 1 in
Naples. For new housing emphasize families with kids to change the population of local schools to be more economically diverse. With added
landscaping include benches. Identify "South Naples".
NOT Preferred Development/Bike
Peds
East Naples doesn't need more rental properties, affordable housing, market safe housing & mutli-family housing. It needs more "owned"
properties with a range of values-modest to high-end properties. Bike/pedestrian development along adjacent roads to hwy 41a fair idea but a)
must connect EW to downtown Naples and b) must account for added traffic along these new bike paths associated with added residential
development.
Rebranding
Need to change the poor perception of East Naples by renaming it South Naples. Why is this beautiful building [South Regional Library] we are in
named as such? Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse!
Preferred Development
I believe multi-family housing provides a great opportunity for young real-estate investors & families, and provides housing for people working in
consumer & retail business
Preferred Development/Bike &
Peds
More workforce housingisneeded for young professionals. In addition, a mix of uses we can bike/walk to.
Bike & Peds/Rebranding
Report's findings are encouraging. Node development iskey for walkability + reduce auto-dependence. Make node development a priority.
Create mechanisms to plan + execute branding efforts. Create many tools to get where you want to go.
Traffic/Bikes & Peds/Preferred
Development
Traffic lights to favor those who're driving the 41, not switching to red as soon as a single car wants to get out of a small mall. More street sign to
identify parks, etc. Open another Costco (if volume of business justify). Not enough biking lane (safe lane). Electronic boards along streets to
enforce/inform (speed, traffic congestion, etc.)
Rebranding / NOT Preferred
Development
County Commissioners aredoing nothing to change the image of East Naples. Homeowners have been saying the same thing for years - no more
gas stations, storage facilities, and low-income housing. Where has it got us - nowhere! Commissioners don't care.
Preferred Development/NOT
Preferred Development
It would be nice if the low income housing was dispersed to N Naples instead of E Naples being the dumping ground - we're already full here.
Trader Joes would be nice in the area.
NOT Preferred Development
Thank you for engaging East Naples residents in the project plan. Unfortunately we were shut out of the residential mixed use (market plan)
development. This is undesirable and will undermine the entire plan. No one wants anymore disgusting housing - enough. We are over-saturated -
putin another district. We will fight to stop the housing oversaturation.
Preferred Development/NOT
Preferred Development
No mixed use/no market rate housing. We are oversaturated - from 48 East Naples Condo Association Boards + Presidents. 1)Concert Hall
2)Marriott Resort 3)Recreation Park.
NOT Preferred Development
Please stop the low income housing. Get Habitat for Humanity out of our community and neighborhoods. Habitat for Humanity is ruining our
district.
NOT Preferred Development Need middle income housing, not more low income
Preferred Development/NOT
Preferred Development/Open
Space
Please keep as much open space, natural vegetation as possible. Less "strip malls". More larger name store like Costco, Target, Bed Bath &
Beyond are need.
Other / Open Space
For what its worth: Remember that the people who live in low income housing are the workers from your grocery stores, retail, etc. These people
do not need to be abused with ignorance of the populace. Also, please quit filling in the areas that were made for nature because of
development. Contrary to popular belief we need nature to survive.
Bikes & Peds
Build bike paths off the main streets. Build pedestrian and bike overpasses. Other cities do it all the time. One can bike/hike from Pittsburgh, PA
to Washington, DC without encountering car traffic. Provide shuttle service and better handicap service. Handicap service is horrible in Collier
County. Please keep in mind the environmental impact, we need birds to eat mosquitos.
2 -21-2018 Public Meting - Written Comments

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to accept the US41 Corridor Study as a supplemental planning tool, and direct
staff to begin the implementation of the informational and short term recommendations, and
prepare follow-up items with a more detailed plan for the long term recommendations for future
Board direction.
OBJECTIVE: To review the findings and recommendations contained in the US41 Corridor Study and
provide direction upon the findings and recommendation for future action.
CONSIDERATIONS: During the February 14, 2017, public hearing, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) directed staff to engage the community in a public planning process to determine
the commercial land uses most desired by the community and develop incentives to promote those
desired land uses. Through a series of public meetings, the emphasis was upon identifying the specific
types of businesses currently located on the Corridor and creating a baseline, with emphasis upon traffic
infrastructure (roadways design) influence on commercial market viability and attraction. With
Coordination with the East Naples Foundation, CRA, and other stakeholder’s groups, Staff developed a
public meeting schedule.
The recommendations provided for within the final report were based upon feedback received from over
200 participants at four publicly advertised community meetings, based upon direct feedback to a visual
preference survey and written comments. The Community meetings dates and locations are provided
below:
Public Meeting 1 - October 3, 2017 - East Naples Community Park
Public Meeting 2 - November 7, 2017 - Eagles Lakes Community Park
Public Meeting 3 - January 16, 2018 - Eagles Lakes Community Park
Final Public Meeting - February 21, 2018 - South Regional Library
Based upon the input provided at the above public planning meetings, the Study provides for the
following recommendations:
INFORMATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
1) Community based branding project -Civic and Business organizations should work together to
establish a theme and identity and then promote the community and its vision.
2) Desired businesses - The County Growth Management Department should provide information to the
development community about outcomes of the Study and uses that are preferred.
SHORT TERM RECOMMENDATIONS
3) Redevelopment and development standards -
a) New development will meet Collier County’s architectural and signage standards and further refined
redevelopment standards.
b) For gas station or self-storage development, consider separation requirements, location standards or
minimum percentages of retail or office mix as part of these developments to mitigate for proliferation
along this corridor.
11.D
Packet Pg. 343
04/24/2018
4) Landscaping -Implement a roadside landscaping enhancement strategy.
a) Substitute standards for landscaping in front yards for better “curb appeal” specific to conditions of
U.S. 41 East.
b) Review options for enhanced roadside landscaping in the right-of-way.
LONG TERM RECOMMENDATION
5) Identify target locations or “nodes” for allowing preferred new types of development and
redevelopment.
a) Confirm or expand the 3 existing Activity Centers: Airport Road; Thomasson/Rattlesnake; Collier
Boulevard.
b) Consider addition of 2 new minor Activity Center opportunities at: St Andrews Square and
Vincentian PUD/Eagle Lakes Park.
6) Transportation Needs
a) Identify opportunities to use connecting street for bicycles and pedestrians.
b) Coordinate with the Collier MPO Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan to identify locations for new
sidewalks, bikeways, transit and greenways and connections to serve the corridor.
c) Establish design criteria to promote secondary corridors to connect to commercial and mixed use
centers.
d) Coordinate with County Transportation staff & Florida DOT on options for retrofitting
enhancements, start with intersections.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact related to the acceptance of the US Corridor Study. The
cost associated with any of the suggested recommendations will be accounted for within the fiscal year
budget of the Zoning Division or the General Fund.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Acceptance of the Study as an additional planning tool fulfills
the Growth Management Plan’s policy 4.1 (Future Land Use Element) for “Planning studies may address
specific geographic areas.” If directed, certain recommendations may require amendments to the GMP
for full implementation.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality. It requires a majority vote
for Board action. -HFAC
RECOMMENDATION: To accept the US41 Corridor Study as a supplemental planning tool, and direct
staff to begin the implementation of the informational and short term recommendations, and prepare
follow-up items with a more detailed plan for the long term recommendations for future Board direction

Item #11D
ACCEPT THE US41 CORRIDOR STUDY AS A
SUPPLEMENTAL PLANNING TOOL, AND DIRECT STAFF TO
BEGIN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INFORMATIONAL
AND SHORT TERM RECOMMENDATIONS, AND PREPARE
FOLLOW-UP ITEMS WITH A MORE DETAILED PLAN FOR
THE LONG TERM RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE
BOARD DIRECTION - MOTION ACCEPTING THE REPORT –
APPROVED
MR. OCHS: Item 11D is a recommendation to accept the U.S. 41
corridor study as a supplemental planning tool and to authorize staff to
begin implementation.
Mr. Bosi will make the presentation.
MR. BOSI: Good morning, Commissioners. Mike Bosi,
Planning and Zoning director.
Just to give you a little bit of context to the individual study, this
was directed by the Board of County Commissioners at the beginning
of last year, 2017. We had started with the concept of potentially
enabling a moratorium on specific land uses. The Board was not
comfortable with that approach. They, instead, directed staff to go out
and speak with the community, engage them within the public
April 24, 2018
Page 154
planning process, and evaluate through various means what type of
land uses they would like to see most promoted within the U.S. 41
corridor study.
And with that, we went out and engaged the community with the
help of Laura DeJohn and Johnson Engineering, who provided a
tremendous amount of support and organizational aspects to the study.
The U.S. 41 corridor, essentially, was from Palm Street,
Commercial Drive, down to Price Street. A better approximation
would be 951 and 41, Airport Road and U.S. 41, and that was the area
we put the focus study, and that's the area where we have a large
amount of leftover commercial strip zoning, shallow lot, but
commercial strip zoning along that auto-oriented U.S. 41.
We engaged in three publicly advertised meetings: October 3rd,
November 7th, and January 16th. Very well attended at the various
community facilities within the East Trail area, and we had a wrap-up
meeting on February 21st where we provided the results and just went
over what we learned from that individual meeting.
How we had gained a lot of individual preferences was from a
visual survey preference, and for this I really did lean upon Johnson
Engineering in terms of there was about 20 different images, and there
was three to four images that showed different concepts of building
arrangement, landscaping, setback, architectural features, and we asked
the audiences to provide feedbacks as to which of those images that
they found most appealing, and from those choices, we were able to
discern a number of different aspects about community design and
what -- the community design that the population would most like to
see within that 41 corridor.
We also had a second part to each one of those public meetings
where we asked for -- or we provided open-ended questionnaires
where the participants in the meeting were able to provide us whatever
areas that they felt we needed to know about in terms of what their
April 24, 2018
Page 155
concern was or where they thought their opportunities were moving
forward related to what they would like to see developed.
One of the things I learned early on within the process, it's a very
hungry crowd out there in the sense that they were very supportive of
restaurants, particularly sit-down restaurants. But what we did was
from the written comments that we received on October 3rd, the 7th,
and on the 16th, we basically took the words, the words that were
provided within there, and whichever words came out the most are the
ones that you see highlighted within that bubble, that screen. And
restaurants, need, traffic, building, corridor, Costco, landscaping
development. Those are the type of things that we saw as a common
occurrence.
And then we grouped those written comments within categories.
And the top of the categories were preferred development meaning the
type of specific end-users that they would like to see. Rebranding was
something that we heard a lot of. Traffic, bikes and pedestrian, not
preferred development, incentives to redevelopment, design,
landscaping, infrastructures, open space, and redevelopment. A lot of
things from a planning concept that you have within emerging
corridors but also within parcels of land that may be aging as well. So
it was a mix. But those are traditional concepts, but the community
was spot on in terms of what they felt they wanted to communicate to
us.
Based upon that we grouped it into five individual overall
messages that we heard from the community. Community identity was
one of the first, and East Naples residents support branding the area to
make the assets of the area known and attract more of what the
community wants. We heard that we felt, or that the area felt that there
was a legacy of negativity associated with the East Trail and that the
new developments, the activity that has happened recently, needed to
be highlighted and accentuated, and the opportunities that the future
April 24, 2018
Page 156
holds has to be the focus of how we talk about the corridor and not
focusing upon what, maybe, the shortcomings were, but where the
opportunities -- and where those opportunities can really be realized to
the community's benefits or assets.
The second was new and different businesses being desired.
Hotel, restaurant, grocery options, wholesale clubs, restaurants, and
any change must be part of a framework that controls the appearance
of intensity and traffic.
Third, as you can imagine, transportation. Transportation was, the
corridor has too much traffic and not enough safe bicycle and
pedestrian features and open space. And that's one of the things we
heard on a regular basis. As you can imagine, a corridor with six
lanes, high-moving traffic, they really felt that the other multi-modal
aspect of transportation was underserved, meaning your bike and your
pedestrian assets, and that will be part of some of the longer-term
recommendations we'll get to in a little bit.
Also redevelopment. Improvement of unsightly older buildings
and vacant commercial buildings is needed. And I think you're starting
to see, and we will see moving into the future, a continuing of that
trend of re-purposing or reusing existing -- some of the more
dilapidated structures or land uses.
As part of the larger aspect of our Land Development Code that
we do have to engage in, we've developed a redevelopment section
within our Land Development Code to a point. But we as plan -- or we
as an aging community also recognize that that redevelopment effort
has to be moved on, and that's another one of the longer-term
recommendations that will be coming from the study.
And then third (sic) was landscaping. Enhanced appearance along
the roadside. And one of the things that I'm reminded, each of the
participants, all the new developments that are coming on, they lift the
overall built environment, the feel of the built environment, because
April 24, 2018
Page 157
they're meeting our architectural codes, they're meeting our landscape
codes, they're providing the required amount of green space and,
because of that, each new project has a way of lifting up that
immediate surrounding area.
The first -- the first two groupings were informational
recommendations. The first being civic and business organizations
throughout that community, the East Naples Community Association
being one of strong community groups out there, one amongst many.
Civic and business organizations should work together to establish a
theme and identity and then promote the community and its vision.
The second desire of businesses, the county's GMD department
should provide information to the development community about
outcomes of the study and the uses that are preferred. And what we're
going to do with that, one, I'm going to provide the Development
Services Advisory Council, DSAC, a copy of that written report so
they can disseminate it to their members, but also if there's a
pre-application meeting that is requested, we'll hand out a courtesy
copy of that report just to provide that individual or that business
interest an understanding of what the community has expressed the
type of land uses that they're looking for and they want to support.
The second grouping of recommendations would be short-term
recommendations. In the first four of the recommendations we're
asking the Board to provide staff direction to move out and develop a
plan to take action upon these.
Redevelopment and development standards. New development
will meet the Collier County architectural and signage standards and
further refined redevelopment standards. All of the new development
is required to meet your architectural signage and your landscape
standards, but we're going to look at the redevelopment section to see
where those can be improved, tweaked to bring more of the desired
effect of that individual study.
April 24, 2018
Page 158
And a second aspect underneath that third recommendation, for
gas stations and self-storage development, consider separation
requirements, location standards, or minimum percentages of office
and retail mix as part of these developments that might mitigate their
proliferation along the corridor.
One of the things that Commissioner Fiala's expressed frustration
with, at least the mini-storage facilities, is they're not daily
neighborhood serving. They may serve the needs of the neighborhood
from an occasional purpose of where you store your stuff, but you're
not interacting with them on a regular day-by-day basis.
There could be a component where within the storage facilities, if
they were along those corridors, we could require a percentage to be
dedicated to office, commercial, retail, something along those lines.
But it's something we'll have to evaluate, and we will have to bring
back through the advisory boards and then, ultimately, to the Board of
County Commissioners for your evaluation.
The fourth of the recommendations relates to landscape and
implementation of roadside landscape enhancement strategy for that
U.S. 41 corridor study. Pam Lu -- engaging with Pam Lulich's group
in terms of what are the plans for it. They're recognizing that is a state
road, so there's limitations in terms of how much leeway and discretion
that we have related to those, and review options for enhancements
along the roadside landscaping in the right-of-way.
And the long-term recommendations were, one, to not only
identify the four activity centers that were -- that sit within that
corridor, just confirm their locations, evaluate their expansion, but also
consider two individual other locations at St. Andrews Square and the
Vincentian PUD, Eagle Lakes Park, see if there -- does it make sense
at those two locations to designate similar type of future land use
designations that would have -- related to activity centers which have a
full range of commercial zoning, but also allows for mixed-use
April 24, 2018
Page 159
development -- Commissioner Taylor?
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah, I have a question.
The one on Airport Road, will you define the borders of that,
which -- what activity center are we talking about there?
MR. BOSI: The U.S. 41 and Airport Road, the two corners that
abut Airport Road to the east and the west, that's a portion of the
activity center. The Courthouse Shadows is included within that
activity center as well. I can provide -- I will send your office a copy
of that activity center boundary.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: It's just those four corners. At
least two of those corners are in the CRA.
MR. BOSI: Yes.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: So that would be conflict because
that should be left to the CRA because they're master planning that
area.
MR. BOSI: Yeah. We did -- we touched nothing other than that
was a recommendation just to confirm that location.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Is an activity center?
MR. BOSI: That's an activity center. Where the -- we were very
prudent not to extend to any of the area that the CRA is currently
involved within the redevelopment of that CRA plan, so we know
that's part of what's going on right now. So we really kind of limited
our focus from that area, and it was more towards those areas outside
of the CRA.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah. Because the preferred new
types of development may not concur with what this master plan
comes forward with. That's all. So if you identify the Airport Road
area and it's within the CRA, allowing new -- allowing preferred new
types of development have not been determined, at least by the CRA's
process.
MR. BOSI: The type of development that can come forward is
April 24, 2018
Page 160
only dictated by your zoning, so we would not be suggesting any
changes to the individual zoning that is underneath the purview of the
CRA. We know that the redevelopment plan may have some
modifications to the land uses allowed within that area that we haven't
had an opportunity to be in concert with. We know that that's their
bailiwick, and we know that that's an area that they're focused upon.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay. My ears perked up when
you said when a developer comes in, and then we can hand -- this is
what we want. It shouldn't be handed in with Airport Road, because
that's the master plan.
MR. BOSI: Understood, understood.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay.
MR. BOSI: And in that regard, we most certainly would direct
them to --
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: The master plan, whatever it
becomes.
MR. BOSI: -- to the Bayshore CRA for that first conversation.
We'd let them know that that's where they need to go first.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Thank you.
MR. BOSI: And then, finally, your transportation needs. And
your transportation needs are probably your longest in terms of long
range, and it has everything to do with the state. That's a
state-controlled road.
Identify opportunities to use connecting streets for bicycle and
pedestrians, and those are some of the opportunities that you develop.
The secondary streets that line -- that run parallel to 41, see if those
opportunities could be enhanced in any way in terms of pedestrian or
bicycle lanes, transportation avenues.
Coordinate with the Collier MPO on the pedestrian/bike master
plan and identify a location for new sidewalks, bikes, transit, and
greenway connections to serve the corridor. Establish design criteria
April 24, 2018
Page 161
to promote secondary corridors, as I mentioned, to connect commercial
to mixed-use centers, and coordinate with county transportation staff
and Florida DOT on options for retrofit and enhancements starting
with intersections.
One of the things that -- one of the activities that I engaged in
related to the restudy was Laura, myself, and Dan Berdin (phonetic)
went outside and just crossed U.S. 41 at Airport Road. And what are
some of the observations that he had made related to the signalization
and how the signalization works and how it was a bit dated. He had
said just some simple improvements that can be -- that could be
initiated that are low cost, but all of those things will take coordination
with the FDOT, so that's just something so we know that that's
something that will be an evolving and ongoing process.
And, with that, that is the conclusion of the recommendations. I
will say, just from a personal note, this is one of my most enjoyable
projects that I've worked on with the county. The community was very
engaged, they were very interested in the process, and they were -- and
they were very -- they were very supportive of the individual meetings
that we had, and the end, the wrap-up meeting, I think everyone felt
that their time was -- their time was well spent, their voice was being
heard. And, as I told Commissioner Fiala during the process, the one
lasting legacy that we can walk away from is the community knows
that we are interested and we want to promote the visions and the land
uses that they want. They are also recognizing there's limitations
towards what government can and can't do in terms of picking
individual users.
But the overall message I received was the community was
supportive of the effort and is anticipating and excited to see the
changes that have recently come to the U.S. 41 corridor and excited
about what is coming into the future.
And with that, any questions the Board may have?
April 24, 2018
Page 162
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Fiala.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: I have no questions but, first of all, I
want to tell you you're absolutely right. They were thrilled that you
were there. They were thrilled that you were listening to them, that
they were being heard, and that they were asking instead of being told
what they like. That gave them hope for a better outcome in the end,
and that's a good thing. You know, people have to start with
excitement about where they're going to be.
One of the things we put in place a long time ago was any old
buildings that you want to get rid of, you don't maybe have to get rid
of, you can invite young businesses, new businesses, floundering
businesses to get into one of those buildings with zero, zero, zero
impact fees, and that's an enticement to use that place, fix it up, and
they'd have the money, because they don't have to pay any impact fees,
to then maybe start a thriving business.
They -- business is a difficult thing in that area, as Mike well
knows, because there aren't many, and people would really like to have
places to shop, and the reason is because they would prefer not to shop
and go someplace else. They would prefer to stay on the roads that
they live on, and that's something else Mike found.
So after your successful presentations, then I sent out a little
thing. I have this thing called Tidbits. It's just asking for people's
opinions or giving people opinions. So I sent this out in Tidbits, and I
said, "What would you like to see in this area?" I have about 1,800
people that are, in the Tidbit grouping, and we get 366 answers back in
just a two-week period of time, with about a thousand suggestions,
which was wonderful.
Mike, my assistant, he put them into kind of a cute little form here
to see. The ones that stand out the biggest, just like Mike said,
restaurants was the biggest one because they need more places to go to
eat.
April 24, 2018
Page 163
One of the misconceptions that people have had over the years is
that they figured, maybe because of the appearance of the area or
whatever, that we all needed fast-food restaurants. But these people
want to sit down and eat. Most of the people that live out there now
are retirees. They've been cooking all their life. They don't want to
cook anymore. They want to be taken out to eat. They want to go out
to eat with their neighbors. They want to sit down over a meal. And,
you know, you don't have that many poor people that want to go out
and eat. These people want to go out, and they want to stay here.
They don't want to be driving to the north end of town. So restaurants
featured big.
One of the things we almost had a long time ago was a Target.
Where the Kite people now built the Stein Mart, it was supposed to be
a Target. Mike, you were probably involved in that where they
changed all of that permitting and everything, and then they had to --
but then Target got hit real hard by the hackers, and it really ruined
their business for a while, so they pulled out of that shopping center.
People were really disappointed appeared because they didn't have a
place to go like that.
Well, then we were going to get Sam's Club, and they were --
people down in the City of Naples as well as up on Marco Island were
really thrilled, the business owners, because they would have had a
place to go to buy things in quantity. But then that went by the
wayside when the Sam's Club people invested in the Amazon.com.
So here is the results of some of their thoughts, and these are just
by category. I have it broken down, but there's way too many to give
you over here. But I had it broken down into more things that they
want specifically in each of these categories as well. So -- and most of
all, they were thrilled to know that maybe you would be still involved
with us and lead us, because none of us are capable of leading us to
where we need to go. We need a leader. We need somebody to help us
April 24, 2018
Page 164
through that process and guide us so that we can come up with a
positive outcome, and we're just hoping you will.
MR. BOSI: Commissioner Fiala, I appreciate the confidence. I
most certainly am available, and I serve at the direction of the Board
however you want us to move forward with the initiative and follow it
up to the next step.
As we've recommended, we have two sets of recommendations:
Informational and shorter-term. We're asking the Board for staff to go
back, develop a plan to engage with the community and come back
with results to the Board of County Commissioners related to those
areas, and then we will develop a longer-term strategy for those
longer-term issues that were contained within the report as well.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: That is terrific. Would you mind if I
took all the breakdowns of all these different categories and sent them
to a few of the shopping center developers to give them ideas of what
we would like?
MR. BOSI: Well, Commissioner Fiala, you're the commissioner
in the district. I think you have the liberty to do so.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: You can do whatever you like. You're the
boss.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay. Well, I would like to do that,
too, so that maybe, if anybody's interested, we could pass that on to
you as well.
Right now we've got a proliferation, and more coming all the
time, with more new storage units. I don't know, how many do we
have now, 11? Somewhere right in that area.
MR. BOSI: I think there was 10 that were located within the East
Trail area.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yeah, plus the flea market that's
coming on down the road, too. Yeah, there's quite a few. And you can
only use so many. I'm wondering how long they'll go before they
April 24, 2018
Page 165
realize that they're going to go broke, because there's going to be so
many of them.
And gas stations, we've got four more now coming on. But it will
be nice to see something other than that on our road.
So, Mike, we're going to see if we can't get together with you
right away and start the process.
Thank you.
Folks, he was great.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Is my light on?
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: It's not staying on, but I see it. Go ahead.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Well, first off, I was going to
ask Commissioner Fiala how she felt about the corridor study, but
we're not going to go there. Thank you so much for sharing.
And I just have a question -- I have a question for you, number
one, and that is I find it interesting, and I've gotten several emails,
about a mini-storage unit that's coming up apparently out on the East
Trail. Why is there an objection to these? They're very low intensity,
low traffic, maybe don't service the wants of the necessary community
COMMISSIONER FIALA: That's the reason.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Okay. So I just was wondering
why --
COMMISSIONER FIALA: What they're hoping, instead of so
many -- you know, because even with the number of people we have, I
don't think we're going to use all of those storage units. I think it's --
you know, what they'd really like is something that they can use,
something they can go to the movie in or sit down in dinner at or buy a
dress in.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Gotcha. I saw your list there,
and I just --
April 24, 2018
Page 166
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yeah. So -- and storage units, and
they're all three stories now that are coming in.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Sure.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: So they almost create a canyon
effect, and that isn't very inviting. And if you're a restaurant, do you
want to locate between two storage units? See, that's another thing. Or
maybe a storage unit and a gas station.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yeah. It was just a question
that I had.
And then the second question that I had was maybe for staff. And
there's been some discussion about a specific overlay for East Naples
with a master plan similar to what we have with Golden Gate Estates.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: That's what we're doing here.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: This is all the precept to get to
this point for this actual overlay?
MR. BOSI: Those are conversations I've not been a part of. I've
been a part of the study. That may be what -- the conversation
Commissioner --
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: That's why I'm asking the
question.
MR. BOSI: -- Commissioner Fiala wants to speak to me --
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Surprise.
MR. BOSI: -- about. But that would be something that we would
have to have a full discussion with the Board of County
Commissioners about.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Okay. Well -- and it was a
question that I was asking, because I've been -- the weeds have been
talking, and I knew that there was -- the accolades were going along,
and positively, with the corridor study.
And the last point that I wanted to make to you was thank you for
considering doing this, going through the process, engaging the
April 24, 2018
Page 167
residents of Eastern Collier County. This is -- this is a shift from how
we had been conducting business in the past with the moratoriums and
that sort of thing, and you flinched a little bit last year when we
suggested this.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, I still do.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I know you do. But I wanted
to say thank you, because this is the -- this is the advent of good
governance, engaging the people and letting them know through an
educational process what zoning rights, what property rights currently
exist.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Are left.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Are left, and what they can, in
fact, be used for. So thank you, again.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Is there a motion to accept?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'll make it -- well, let her do it.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: I'll make a motion to accept.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I'll second that.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: There's a motion and a second. All in
favor, say aye.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Aye.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Aye.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Any opposed?
No response.)
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank you. Great job.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Thank you for indulging us.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I think we're ready for a break for our
court reporter.
MR. OCHS: Yes, we are.
April 24, 2018
Page 168
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: So we'll be back at 3:20. I have to make a
call.
A brief recess was had.)
MR. OCHS: Mr. Chairman, you have a live mike.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: And just before we start, I may have to
duck out and take a call, and I will -- if I do, I will leave it in the
capable hands of the vice chair.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And we will endeavor to
persevere.
