Agenda 06/09/2020 Item #16A 1 (Resolution - LDCA - Legislative Procedures)06/09/2020
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a resolution amending Ordinance No. 2004-66, as amended, that
created an Administrative Code for Land Development, by amending Chapter Two, Legislative
Procedures, more specifically to amend Section A, Comprehensive Plan Amendment, to provide
consistency with current and proposed changes to public notice procedures, and an addition to
Chapter Four, Administrative Procedures, more specifically to add Section I.6., Nominal Alteration
Plan, to provide a process for a nominal change to a site development plan or to an existing site in
which there is no site development plan; and providing an effective date. (This is a companion to
Agenda Item 17.C).
_____________________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: To obtain Board approval of the proposed amendment to the Collier County
Administrative Code for Land Development (Administrative Code).
CONSIDERATIONS: The Administrative Code provides the processes and procedures for the review of
various land use petitions or applications identified within the Land Development Code (LDC). This
Administrative Code amendment is a companion item to two LDC amendments that includes an update to
an existing section and the addition of a new section. The changes are described as follows:
1. Chapter 2 A. - Comprehensive Plan Amendment. This amendment carries forward the changes
proposed in the companion LDC amendment to section 10.03.06. The companion LDC
amendment updates terminology related to ‘large-scale’ growth management plan amendments
and updates LDC notice provisions for several petition types that require a public hearing based
on current public notice policies.
2. Chapter 4 I.6 - Nominal Alteration Plan (NAP). This is a new section of the Administrative Code
that provides the applicability, the required application and site plan contents, and the procedural
requirements for a NAP. The companion LDC amendment codifies the NAP process, a more
streamlined review of limited, minor changes to approved Site Development Plans (SDP) and Site
Improvement Plans (SIP), or to sites without an existing SDP or SIP.
DSAC RECOMMENDATION: The Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC) reviewed the
Administrative Code amendments and companion LDC amendments in August and October 2019, and
recommended approval of the amendments as presented.
CCPC RECOMMENDATION: The Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) recommended
approval of the companion LDC amendments.
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: If the companion LDC amendment does not pass, then this amendment
would be premature. This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires a majority vote for Board
approval. (HFAC)
RECOMMENDATION: To approve the proposed Resolution amending Ordinance No. 2004-66, as
amended, the Collier County Administrative Code for Land Development and direct staff as to any
changes.

BACKGROUND
Currently, all development, except as identified in LDC section 10.02.03 A.3, is required to comply with
an approved Site Development Plan (SDP) or Site Improvement Plan (SIP) prior to a building permit or
certificate of occupancy being issued. This requirement ensures that all development is designed and
constructed in compliance with all the relevant provisions of the LDC. Throughout the development
process, development plans may change, or errors may be found in approved SDPs or SIPs, requiring an
amendment or insubstantial change.
Frequently, proposed changes to these plans would have minimal impacts to the overall development
and do not warrant the same level of review as SDPs, SIPs, or amendments thereof. In these instances,
staff has used an alternative process that allows for limited staff review, abbreviated review timeframes
(five days), lower fees, and the ability to exchange sheets without resubmitting the entire plan set when
appropriate.
In conjunction with an Administrative Code amendment (See Attachment A), this LDC amendment
codifies the Nominal Alteration Plan (NAP) process, for certain types of scrivener’s errors that do not
include changes to the site layout, and the following four changes or modifications:
• Mechanical air equipment and subsequent concrete pads;
• Permanent emergency generators;
• Above- or below-ground fuel tanks; or
• Carports or shade structures that do not increase impervious area calculations.

BACKGROUND
This proposed LDC amendment makes the following changes to the Public Notice section:
1.) Update the term ‘regular’ growth management plan (GMP) amendments to now be referred to as
‘large-scale’ GMP amendments. This change is for clarity in amendment type and with terminology
used at the state level. This language has also been modified within the Administrative Code.
2.) Update LDC notice provisions for rezones, PUD amendments, and ordinances or resolutions for
Comprehensive Plan amendments. For each of these petition types, the LDC requires the County to
notify, by mail, each property owner within the area covered by the proposed ordinance or resolution.
The proposed LDC Amendment removes this requirement for consistency with current internal
policies. These changes have been reflected within the Administrative Code, where needed.
3.) Update the LDC notice provisions for a neighborhood information meeting (NIM) for large-scale,
site-specific Comprehensive Plan Amendments to occur prior to the first Planning Commission
hearing, as opposed to the adoption hearing which is the last round of public hearings for this petition
type. This change is consistent with current internal policies and has been reflected within the
Administrative Code. Previous versions of the corresponding Administrative Code updates did not
accurately reflect this change but have now been corrected prior to Board review.
4.) The public notice requirements for a PUD Extension, as the PUD sunsetting process has been
removed from the LDC, per Ordinance 2014-33.
