a. Golden Gate Parkway Overlay District (GGPOD)
LDC Sections to be Amended: 1.08.01 Abbreviations DSAC-LDR 12-17-2019
2.03.07 Overlay Zoning Districts
2.05.01 Density Standards and Housing Types
4.02.26 Golden Gate Parkway Activity Center Overlay

5.05.01 Businesses Serving Alcoholic Beverages
5.06.02 Development Standards for Signs within Residential

10.03.06 Public Notice and Required Hearings for Land Use
Petitions
The proposed amendment establishes the Golden Gate Parkway Overlay District (GGPOD), which serves
to implement several policies of the recently adopted Golden Gate Area Master Plan. The GGPOD will be
comprised of two new subdistricts: The Activity Center subdistrict (GGPOD-AC) and the Downtown
subdistrict (GGPOD-DT). The GGPOD shall supersede the current provisions of the Golden Gate
Downtown Center Overlay District and the Golden Gate Parkway Professional Office Commercial
Overlay.
Staff fielded comments from Committee Members and speakers on the proposal as noted below:
Mr. Mulhere
Section 2.03.07 F.2.d – consider removing the reference to PUD and simply cite properties
within the GGPOD.
Section 2.03.07 F.3, Mixed Use Definition – consider using language “residential, institutional
and commercial components” instead of residential or non residential wording (similar to
language found in Section 2.03.07 F.4.a.1).
Section 2.03.07 F.6.a/b – determine if there are any conflicts in other zoning requirements or
legal issues when allowing a business that utilizes a drive thru as an accessory use in the
GGPOD-DT, but prohibiting the business’s drive thru use feature in the overlay zone.
Section 4.05.02 E.4 – consider providing clarification on the parking requirement and if there are
limitations on a parking areas accessed by an alley.
Mr. Foley
Administrative Code Section 6, Deviations – Consider allowing an administrative process for
deviations to streamline the activity.
July 28, 2020

Mr. Curl
Section 4.02.26 B.8.a – concern on allowing a 5-foot buffer for a non residential use adjacent to
single family residential zoned areas. It would be beneficial to require a 10-foot buffer for these
areas. Additionally, a 5-foot buffer may not provide adequate space for planting of certain tree
species and conflict with Sections of the Land Development Code conflict. This comment may
pertain to other Sections of the proposed amendment as well.
Section 4.02.26 B.8.d - Staff should review the language “None of the required foundation
plantings shall be located within perimeter buffers or within parking lot, vehicular use, or
service function areas” as it may be in conflict with the LDC and also contradicts Section
4.02.26 B.8.c.
Section 4.02.26 B.9.c.1 - consider allowing plaques in doorways facing down the sidewalk so a
passerby may more easily see the sign(s).
Section 4.02.26 B.12.b – concern on allowing lighting at lot lines to exceed 0-foot candles
(allowed up to 0.5 as currently proposed). Potential neighbor impacts and complaints.
Section 4.02.26 B.16.c – staff to check citations to the LDC to ensure they are the correct Section
(4.02.26 B.8) referenced.
Section 4.02.26 B.16.e.ii.f – ensure the requirement doesn’t imply or grant sole usage of the
spaces in front of the business and allows for mixed parking use for the businesses in the area.
Section 4.02.26 B.16.g.i – staff to check the LDC Section 4.02.26 B.8.c.ii. citation to ensure it is
correct.
Section 4.02.26 C.1 - consider allowing wingwalls for screening of the loading areas.
Types of Curb Required
Mr. Curl queried on whether the Type F curbs prescribed for the area are beneficial given they
do not constrain the roots of certain trees and Type E curbs may be more advantageous. It was
noted Type F curbs are mountable for emergency vehicles and Shawn Hanson, of Greater Naples
Fire District, who was present via Zoom, requested the Type F curbs be utilized in the area.
Speaker
Rich Yovanovich expressed concern on the overall tone of the language as in certain areas, it
may not protect the property owner’s rights under the current zoning. Additionally, drive-thrus
are usually an accessory use to certain businesses, such as fast food restaurants, pharmacies,
banks, etc., and may want to be considered for the overlay zones. He also questioned the
language in the following Sections:
Section 2.03.07 F.2.b – “Property owners within the GGPOD may establish uses, densities, and
intensities in accordance with the underlying zoning classification or the GGPOD. In either
instance, however, the density and intensity shall not exceed the maximum allowed pursuant to
the GMP. The design standards of the GGPOD pursuant to LDC section 4.02.26 shall apply.
It appears any density increases may not be allowed in the overlay zones based on the second
sentence.
Section 2.03.07 F.4.a.iii - The types of uses permitted within this subdistrict are low intensity
retail, office, personal services, institutional, and residential.
Expressed concern the C-4 zoning district doesn’t meet the characteristics of “low intensity”
retail, office, personal service, institutional and residential uses.
Section 4.02.26 B.1 – concern reducing the allowable building height to 60 feet in the GGPOD-
DT may be a disincentive to redevelop given the height allowed in the underlying district is 75
feet.
July 28, 2020

Staff noted it is not the intent of the proposed amendment to remove any rights granted to
property owners in the underlying zoning district.
The Committee requested staff to ensure the language in the proposed amendment does not
jeopardize the ability for a landowner to develop his property as allowed in the underlying
zoning district.
Mr. Mulhere moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend to the
Board of County Commissioners the proposed amendment be approved as presented subject to
Staff ensuring the amendment does not intentionally or unintentionally remove the existing
rights established in the underlying zoning districts (building height, use requirements, etc.)
and a 10 foot landscape buffer be required in areas where commercial development is adjacent
to residentially zoned property. Second by Mr. McLean. Carried unanimously 5 – 0.
4. New Business
a. PL20200000359 – Self-Storage in C-4 Zoning District
LDC Sections to be Amended: 2.03.02 Commercial Zoning Districts
5.05.08 Architectural and Site Design Standards
The Amendment proposes to allow enclosed, indoor, air-conditioned self-storage use as a
Permitted Use when combined in the same building with other uses that are permitted in the C-4
Commercial Zoning District. It changes self-storage facilities from a Conditional Use to a
Permitted Use in the C-4 zoning district, but only if the self-storage use is combined in the same
building as with other permitted uses in the C-4 zoning district and occupies less than 50 percent
of the total area of the first floor and applies to all C-4 districts throughout the County.
Mr. McLean reported he is abstaining from the matter and filed the necessary forms to do so.
Staff fielded comments from Committee Members on the proposal as noted below:
Mr. Foley
Section 5.05.09 E.2.f.ii – The architectural theme for the entire building shall be consistent
throughout, in order to avoid having contrasting styles for each use. Consider using language
“The architectural design to be a consistent theme throughout in order…”
Mr. McLean
Concern on the overall language requiring the storage use to be “…in the same building” in
several places. If a facility is not located in a building with another use, it appears to preclude
developing a building that is 100 percent self storage.
Staff noted the change proposed is to allow the storage use within a building housing another
activity as a “Permitted Use.” If the facility is in a separate building for the sole purpose of self
storage, it will be processed as Conditional Use. These facilities are currently a Conditional Use
under the existing zoning requirements and there are no changes proposed to the current approval
process.

Mr. Mulhere moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend to the
Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed amendment as presented by Staff.
Second by Mr. Foley.
Mr. Mulhere amended the motion and moved for the Development Services Advisory
Committee to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed
amendment subject to revising Section 5.05.09E.2.f.ii to read “The architectural design to be
a consistent theme throughout, in order to avoid having contrasting styles for each use.”
Second by Mr. Foley. Carried unanimously 4 – 0. Mr. McLean abstained.
