2.03.03 Commercial Zoning Districts
A. Commercial Professional and General Office District (C-1). The purpose and intent of the commercial
professional and general office district C-1 is to allow a concentration of office type buildings and land
uses that are most compatible with, and located near, residential areas. Most C-1 commercial,
professional, and general office districts are contiguous to, or when within a PUD, will be placed in
close proximity to residential areas, and, therefore, serve as a transitional zoning district between
residential areas and higher intensity commercial zoning districts. The types of office uses permitted
are those that do not have high traffic volumes throughout the day, which extend into the evening
hours. They will have morning and evening short-term peak conditions. The market support for these
office uses should be those with a localized basis of market support as opposed to office functions
requiring inter-jurisdictional and regional market support. Because office functions have significant
employment characteristics, which are compounded when aggregations occur, certain personal

B. Commercial Convenience District (C-2). The purpose and intent of the commercial convenience
district (C-2) is to provide lands where commercial establishments may be located to provide the
small-scale shopping and personal needs of the surrounding residential land uses within convenient
travel distance except to the extent that office uses carried forward from the C-1 district will expand the
traditional neighborhood size. However, the intent of this district is that retail and service uses be of a
nature that can be economically supported by the immediate residential environs. Therefore, the uses
should allow for goods and services that households require on a daily basis, as opposed to those
goods and services that households seek for the most favorable economic price and, therefore,
require much larger trade areas. It is intended that the C-2 district implements the Collier County GMP
within those areas designated agricultural/rural; estates neighborhood center district of the Golden
Gate Master Plan; the neighborhood center district of the Immokalee Master Plan; and the urban
mixed use district of the future land use element permitted in accordance with the locational criteria
for commercial and the goals, objectives, and policies as identified in the future land use element of
the Collier County GMP. The maximum density permissible in the C-2 district and the urban mixed use
land use designation shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained in the future land
use element of the Collier County GMP. The maximum density permissible or permitted in a district
shall not exceed the density permissible under the density rating system.

D. General Commercial District (C-4). The general commercial district (C-4) is intended to provide for
those types of land uses that attract large segments of the population at the same time by virtue of
scale, coupled with the type of activity. The purpose and intent of the C-4 district is to provide the
opportunity for the most diverse types of commercial activities delivering goods and services,
including entertainment and recreational attractions, at a larger scale than the C-1 through C-3
districts. As such, all of the uses permitted in the C-1 through C-3 districts are also permitted in the C-4
district. The outside storage of merchandise and equipment is prohibited, except to the extent that it is
associated with the commercial activity conducted on-site such as, but not limited to, automobile sales,
marine vessels, and the renting and leasing of equipment. Activity centers are suitable locations for the
uses permitted by the C-4 district because most activity centers are located at the intersection of
arterial roads. Therefore the uses in the C-4 district can most be sustained by the transportation
network of major roads. The C-4 district is permitted in accordance with the locational criteria for
uses and the goals, objectives, and policies as identified in the future land use element of the Collier
County GMP. The maximum density permissible or permitted in a district shall not exceed the density
permissible under the density rating system.

2.03.06 Planned Unit Development Districts
A. Purpose and intent. The purpose and intent of establishing the planned unit development district
(PUD) is to provide procedures and standards to encourage mixed use planned developments that
may be situated at appropriate locations, or planned developments that may or may not be mixed use
in the urban fringe areas, all in accordance with the planning and development objectives of the
county under the LDC and the GMP. It is further the purpose and intent of these PUD regulations to
encourage ingenuity, innovation and imagination in the planning, design, and development or
redevelopment of relatively large tracts of land under unified ownership or control. PUDs produced in
compliance with the terms and provisions of this LDC and the GMP may depart from the strict
application of setback, height, and minimum lot requirements of conventional zoning districts while
maintaining minimum standards by which flexibility may be accomplished, and while protecting the
public interest, in order to:
B. The PUD process is intended to accomplish the following:
1. Provide a creative approach to improve the quality of the built environment of contiguous tracts
of land which will encourage development of infill parcels of contiguous tracts of land in
certain circumstances.
2. Create a more desirable environment providing for consistency and visual harmony than
would be possible through strict application of the minimum requirements of this LDC.
3. Encourage patterns of land use that support economical provisions of infrastructure, resulting
in smaller networks of utilities and streets with consequent lower construction and future
maintenance costs.
4. Evaluate the impact of a particular PUD on the present and projected population, economy,
land use pattern, tax base, street system, and public facility network(s) of the county relative
to the various costs and benefits associated with such development.
5. Assure that the development employs techniques featuring amenities and excellence in the
form of variations in siting, mixed land uses and/or varied dwelling types, as well as

LDC2:86.2Supp. No. 28
adaptation to and conservation of the topography and other natural characteristics of the land
involved. Exceptions to variations in siting, mixed land uses and/or varied dwelling types may
be granted on PUD infill development.
C. PUD districts shall hereafter be established by amendment of the official zoning atlas according to the
procedures established in LDC section 10.02.08 and the Administrative Code. The purpose and intent
of establishing and identifying the following classifications is to identify a relationship between a
proposed PUD and the other zoning districts within this LDC. The goal is to relate the purpose and

2.03.07 Overlay Zoning Districts
A. Corridor Management Overlay (CMO).
1. The purpose of the (CMO) district is to supplement existing zoning regulations for properties
bordering Golden Gate Parkway west of Santa Barbara Boulevard and Goodlette-Frank Road
south of Pine Ridge Road. The CMO district will implement the urban design concepts
developed in the corridor management study for Goodlette-Frank Road and Golden Gate
Parkway. These regulations recognize that two (2) separate jurisdictions govern land uses in
these corridors and are designed to develop greater consistency in design standards between
Collier County and the City of Naples.
2. These regulations apply to all properties adjacent to the rights-of-way of Goodlette-Frank
Road from U.S. 41 to Pine Ridge Road and Golden Gate Parkway from U.S. 41 to Santa
Barbara Boulevard as measured perpendicular from the abutting right-of-way for a distance
of 330 feet. Except as provided in this regulation, all other use, dimensional, and develop-
ment requirements shall be as required in the underlying zoning categories.
B. Mobile home Overlay (MHO). The (MHO) district is intended to apply to those agricultural areas
where a mixture of housing types is found to be appropriate within the district. It is intended that
mobile homes allowed under this section shall be erected only in the Rural Agricultural district and
only when the requirements and procedures of this section are met.
C. Airport Overlay (APO). The purpose and intent of the APO district is to provide both airspace protection
and land use compatibility in relation to the normal operation of public-use airports located within the
County, including the Naples Municipal Airport, Everglades City Airpark, Marco Island Executive
Airport, Immokalee Regional Airport, and all existing and future public-use airports and heliports in the
County. The purpose and intent of these regulations shall be as follows:
1. To attempt to promote maximum safety of aircraft arriving at and departing from all public-use
airports located within the County;
2. To attempt to promote maximum safety of residents and property within areas surrounding
public-use airports located within the County;
3. To protect the full utility and the public investment of the public-use airports within the County;
4. To provide development standards for land uses within prescribed noise zones associated
with the normal operation of public-use County airports;
5. To provide height standards for use within the approach, transitional, horizontal, and conical
surfaces so as to encourage and promote proper development beneath such areas;
6. To provide administrative and enforcement procedures for the efficient and uniform regulation
of all development proposals within such areas; and
7. That in addition to the regulations applicable to land zoned, as indicated in the Official Zoning
Atlas, the following regulations are additionally applicable to lands in the County in the vicinity
of the Naples Municipal, Everglades, Marco Island, and Immokalee airports as indicated on
the airport zoning maps of the County. The APO is shown on the Airport Zoning Maps in

C. TDR credits from RFMU sending lands: General Provisions
i. Creation of TDR credits.
a) TDR credits are generated from RFMU sending lands at a rate of 1
TDR credit per 5 acres of RFMU Sending Land or, for those legal
non -conforming lots or parcels of less than 5 acres that were in
existence as of June 22, 1999, at a rate of 1 TDR credit per legal
non -conforming lot or parcel.
b) For lots and parcels 5 acres or larger, the number of TDR credits
generated shall be calculated using the following formula:
# of acres x 0.2 = # of TDR credits generated.
Where the number of TDR credits thus calculated is a fractional
number, the number of TDR credits created shall be rounded to the
nearest 1/100th.
ii. Creation of TDR Bonus credits. TDR Bonus credits shall only be generated
from RFMU sending land property from which TDR credits have been
severed. The three types of TDR Bonus credits are as follows:
a) Environmental Restoration and Maintenance Bonus credits.
Environmental Restoration and Maintenance Bonus credits are
generated at a rate of 1 credit for each TDR credit severed from that
RFMU sending land for which a Restoration and Management Plan
(RMP) has been accepted by the County. In order to be accepted, a
RMP shall satisfy the following:
1) The RMP shall include a listed species management plan.
2) The RMP shall comply with the criteria set forth in 3.05.08.A,
and B.
3) The RMP shall provide financial assurance, in the form of a
letter of credit or similar financial security, establishing that
the RMP shall remain in place and be performed, until the
earlier of the following occurs:
a. Viable and sustainable ecological and hydrological
functionality has been achieved on the property as
measured by the success criteria set forth in the
RMP.
b. The property is conveyed to a County, state, or
federal agency as provided in b) below.
4) The RMP shall provide for the exotic vegetation removal
and maintenance to be performed by an environmental
contractor acceptable to the County.
Supp. No. 22
LDC2:86.19
COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
2.03.07 D.4. 2.03.07 D.4.
b) Conveyance Bonus credits. Conveyance Bonus credits are gener-
ated at a rate of 1 credit for each TDR credit severed from that
RFMU sending land that is conveyed in fee simple to a federal,
state, or local government agency as a gift. Conveyance Bonus
credits shall only be generated from those RFMU sending land
properties on which an RMP has been accepted as provided in a)
above.
c) Early Entry Bonus credits. Early Entry Bonus credits shall be
generated at a rate of 1 additional credit for each TDR credit that is
severed from RFMU sending land for the period from March 5, 2004,
until September 27,, 2022, unless further extended by resolution by
the Board of County Commissioners. Early Entry Bonus credits shall
cease to be generated after the termination of this early entry bonus
period. However, Early Entry Bonus credits may continue to be used
to increase density in RFMU and non- RFMU Receiving Lands after
the termination of the Early Entry Bonus period.
Calculation of TDR Bonus credits.
a) Environmental Restoration and Maintenance Bonus credits are
calculated as follows:
# TDR credits generated from property x % property subject to an
approved RMP
b) Conveyance Bonus credits are calculated as follows:
# TDR credits generated from property x % property subject to an
approved RMP and conveyed as provided in ii.b) above.
c) Early Entry Bonus credits are calculated as follows:
# TDR credits generated within Early Entry period x 1.
iv. Receipt of TDR credits or TDR Bonus credits from RFMU sending lands.
TDR credits or TDR Bonus credits from RFMU sending lands may be
redeemed into Urban Areas, the Urban Residential Fringe, and RFMU
receiving lands, as provided in subsections 2.03.07 4.d. and e. below.
V. Prohibition on redemption of fractional TDR credits and TDR Bonus credits.
While fractional TDR credits and TDR Bonus credits may be created, as
provided in (ii) above, TDR credits and TDR Bonus credits may only be
redeemed in increments of whole, not fractional, dwelling units. Consequently,
fractional TDR credits and fractional TDR Bonus credits must be aggregated
to form whole units, before they can be utilized to increase density in either
non-RFMU Receiving Areas or RFMU Receiving lands.
vi. Prohibition on severance of development rights.
a) Neither TDR credits nor TDR Early Entry Bonus credits shall be
generated from RFMU sending lands where a conservation ease-

ZONING DISTRICTS AND USES
2.03.07 D.4. 2.03.07 D.4.
ment or other similar development restriction prohibits the residential
development of such property, with the exception of those TDR
Early Entry Bonus credits associated with TDR credits severed
from March 5, 2004, until [the effective date of this provision].
Environmental Restoration and Maintenance Bonus credits and
Conveyance Bonus credits may only be generated from those
RFMU sending lands where a conservation easement or other
similar development restriction on development was imposed in
conjunction with the severance of TDR credits.
b) Neither TDR credits nor any TDR Bonus credits shall be generated
from RFMU sending lands that were cleared for agricultural opera-
tions after June 19, 2002, for a period of twenty-five (25) years after
such clearing occurs.
d. Redemption of TDRs into non-RFMU receiving areas.
i. Redemption into urban areas.

seeking TDR credits. No TDR credit generated from RFMU sending lands
may be utilized to increase density in any area unless the following
procedures are complied with in full.
a) TDR credits shall not be used to increase density in either
non-RFMU Receiving Areas or RFMU receiving lands until severed
from RFMU sending lands. TDR credits shall be deemed to be
severed from RFMU sending lands at such time as a TDR credit
Certificate is obtained from the County. TDR credit Certificates shall
be issued only by the County and upon submission of the following:
i) a legal description of the property from which the RFMU
TDR credits originated, including the total acreage;
ii) a title opinion establishing that, prior to the severance of the
TDR credits from RFMU sending lands, such sending
lands were not subject to a conservation restriction or any
other development restriction that prohibited residential
development;
iii) an affidavit, signed by the owner, stating that the property
was not subject to a conservation restriction or any other

E. Historical and Archaeological Sites (H). It is the intent of these regulations to recognize the importance
and significance of the County's historical and archaeological heritage. To that end, it is the county's
intent to protect, preserve, and perpetuate the County's historic and archaeological sites, districts,
structures, buildings, and properties. Further, the BCC, finds that these regulations are necessary to
protect the public interest, to halt illicit digging or excavation activities which could result in the
destruction of prehistoric and historic archaeological sites, and to regulate the use of land in a manner
which affords the maximum protection to historical and archaeological sites, districts, structures,
buildings, and properties consistent with individual property rights. It is not the intent of this LDC to
deny anyone the use of his property, but rather to regulate the use of such property in a manner which
will ensure, to the greatest degree possible, that historic and archaeological sites, districts, structures,
buildings, and properties are protected from damage, destruction, relocations, or exportations.
1. Areas for consideration for inclusion in areas of historical/archaeological probability shall have
one (1) or more of the following characteristics:

3. Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to the GGPOD:
Mixed use: A single development project with a residential component and a nonresidential
component. The mix of uses may be arranged horizontally (separate buildings with a common
development plan) or vertically (in the same building), or some combination of both. Examples
include but are not limited to the following:
4. Establishment of subdistricts.
a. Purpose and Intent.
i. The Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict (GGPOD-AC). This subdistrict is
intended to be mixed-use (commercial, residential, institutional) in character.
The concept is designed to concentrate new and existing commercial zoning
in locations where traffic impacts can be readily accommodated, to avoid strip
and disorganized patterns of commercial development, and to create focal
points within the community. The standard for intensity of commercial uses
are uses allowed in the C-1 through C-5 zoning districts but with certain
exceptions. In addition, uses that are specifically intended to support
economic development in Golden Gate City are also allowed.
ii. Downtown Center Commercial Subdistrict (GGPOD-DT). This subdistrict is to
encourage redevelopment along Golden Gate Parkway in order to improve
the physical appearance of the area and create a vibrant and viable
downtown subdistrict within Golden Gate City. Emphasis shall be placed on
the creation of a pedestrian-oriented boulevard. The provisions of this
subdistrict are intended to ensure harmonious development of commercial
and mixed use buildings at a pedestrian scale that are compatible with
residential development within and outside of the subdistrict. The subdistrict
allows the aggregation of properties in order to promote flexibility in site
design. The types of uses permitted within this subdistrict are retail, office,
personal services, institutional, and residential. Non-residential development
is intended to serve the needs of residents within the subdistrict, surrounding
neighborhoods, and passerby.
b. Boundaries of GGPOD and subdistricts. The boundaries of the GGPOD and
subdistricts are identified in Illustration 1 below:

cies with the land development code, and are located within the Immokalee Urban Boundary
as depicted on the Immokalee Area Master Plan.
a. Purpose and intent. The purpose of these provisions is to recognize that there are
nonconforming mobile homes on properties in the Immokalee Urban Area and to
establish a process to provide property owners an official record acknowledging the
permitted use of the property and render existing mobile homes, and other structures,
as lawful. Travel trailers, regardless of the square footage, are not permitted as a

iii. NFPA 501A: Standard for Fire Safety Criteria for Manufactured Home
Installations, Sites, and Communities as referenced in FAC 69A-60.005.
d. Density. Once the existing conditions site improvement plan is approved, owners
may replace mobile home units with an approved building permit at sites shown on
the site plan. Replacement units may be larger than the removed unit, so long as the
minimum separation standards established in LDC section 2.03.07 G.6.c.i are met.
i. Where properties currently exceed the density allowed for by the zoning
district, the approved existing conditions site improvement plan shall establish
the maximum density on the property which shall not exceed the density of
the property as depicted on the Property Appraiser aerial maps dated before
February 2016. All lots and units shall be consistent with the approved
existing conditions site improvement plan.
ii. Where the zoning district allows for additional density, new mobile home
units may be added and shall be identified on the site plan. New mobile
homes shall be subject to the dimensional standards established in LDC
section 4.02.33.
7. Interim Deviations: Property owners within the Immokalee Urban Overlay District may request
deviations from specific dimensional requirements as described in this section. A deviation
request may be reviewed administratively or by the Planning Commission depending upon its
scope. This section addresses the permissible deviations, limitations thereon, and the review
process.
a. Review Process. Insubstantial deviations will be reviewed administratively by the
County Manager or designee. Substantial deviations will be reviewed by the Planning
Commission. This section is not intended to replace the current established process
of requesting deviations through the PUD rezoning process. Any deviations from the
LDC which are not expressly provided for in this section shall be processed as
variances in accordance with Section 9.04.00 of the LDC.
b. Concurrent Deviation Application required. All deviation requests shall be made
concurrently with an application for an SDP or amendment, SIP or amendment or
Final Subdivision Plat, or in the case of sign deviations, with a building permit. The
applicant shall list all requested deviations on the required site plan(s), and shall
depict the deviation(s) graphically on the plan(s). Additional graphic information may
also be required by staff, on a case-by case basis.

exception of the required number of parking spaces, which may not exceed 20
percent of the LDC requirement (not more than 10 spaces), are insubstantial. To be
approved, the following criteria must be considered:
i. The proposed deviation is compatible with adjacent land uses and structures,
achieves the requirements of the regulations as closely as is practicable, and
meets the intent of the related Land Development Code regulations; and
ii. The applicant proposes equitable tradeoffs for the proposed diminution in
development standards, such as increased open space, landscaping,
pedestrian spaces, buffering or architectural features, in order to meet the
intent of the regulation being diminished.
d. Substantial Deviations. Requested deviations that do not qualify as insubstantial
deviations are substantial deviations:
i. Considerations for Review and Approval: The CCPC shall consider the
following:
a) Whether or not the proposed deviation is compatible with adjacent
land uses and achieves the requirements and/or intent of the
regulations as closely as is practicable; and
b) Whether the proposed deviation is the minimum amount necessary
to allow for reasonable use of the property and/or address the issue
necessitating the deviation request; and
c) Whether the reduced or increased standard requested by the
deviation is mitigated for, either on the subject site or by providing a
public benefit on the subject site. Examples of such on -site mitigation
include but are not limited to: increasing setbacks from the adjacent
road right-of-way when proposing to deviate from sign size limita-
tions; increasing plantings or planting sizes or installing a fence or
wall where a reduced buffer width is proposed; providing public
pedestrian and/or bicycle pathway easements or other similar

H. Santa Barbara Commercial Overlay District (SBCO). Special conditions for properties abutting the
east side of Santa Barbara Boulevard and the west side of 55th Terrace S.W., as referenced in the
Santa Barbara Commercial Subdistrict Map (Map 7) of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan. This is
referenced as figure 2.03.07 H. below.
The purpose and intent of this district is to provide Golden Gate City with additional
opportunities for small scale commercial development to serve the surrounding neighbor-
hoods and those traveling nearby. This district is intended to: contain low intensity uses which
generate/attract relatively low traffic volumes; be appropriately landscaped and buffered to
protect nearby residential areas; be architecturally designed so as to be compatible with
nearby residential areas; and limit access to promote public safety and lessen interruptions to
traffic flow on Santa Barbara Boulevard.
2. Aggregation of lots is strongly encouraged so as to allow greater flexibility in site design and
ease in compliance with parking requirements and other development standards.
3. In order to reduce the potential conflicts that may result from residential and commercial uses
` being located in this district, existing residential uses, other than owner -occupied dwellings,
are required to cease to exist within a specified time period. This does not require the removal
of the residential structures if they can be, and are, converted to uses permitted in this district.
4. These regulations apply to properties abutting the east side of Santa Barbara Boulevard and
the west side of 55th Terrace S.W., lying north of 27th Court S.W. and south of 22nd Place
S.W., all in Golden Gate City, and consisting of approximately twenty-two (22) acres. These
properties are identified on Map 7 of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan. Except as provided
in this regulation, all other use, dimensional, and development requirements shall be as
required or allowed in the underlying zoning categories.
5. Sidewalks. Projects shall provide sidewalks so as to encourage pedestrian and bicycle
traffic. Adjacent projects shall coordinate the location and intersection of sidewalks.

County Zoning Atlas Map or map series.
1. Purpose and Intent. The purpose and intent of this District is to encourage revitalization of the
Bayshore Drive portion of the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Area
(BGTCRA) with pedestrian-oriented, interconnected projects. The Overlay encourages uses
that support pedestrian activity, including a mix of residential, civic and commercial uses that
complement each other and provide for an increased presence and integration of the cultural
arts and related support uses. When possible buildings, both commercial and residential, are
located near the street, and may have front porches and/or balconies.
2. Applicability.
a. These regulations shall apply to the Bayshore Zoning Overlay District as identified by
the designation "BZO" on the applicable official Collier County Zoning Atlas Maps.
b. Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) that existed prior to March 3, 2006, and
properties with Provisional Uses (PU) approved prior to March 3, 2006, including
amendments or boundary changes to these PUDs and Provisional Use properties,
are not subject to the BZO requirements.
c. The boundary of the BZO is delineated on the map below:

3. Relationship to the Underlying Zoning Classification and the GMP.
a. The purpose of the BZO is to fulfill the goals, objectives and policies of the GMP, as
may be amended. Specifically, the BZO implements the provisions of section V.G,
Bayshore Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Overlay, of the FLUE. Portions of the
BZO coincide with Mixed Use Activity Center #16 designated in the FLUE. Develop-
ment in the activity center is governed by requirements of the underlying zoning
district and the mixed use activity center subdistrict requirements in the FLUE, except
for site development standards as stated in LDC section 4.02.16.
b. Property owners within the BZO may establish uses, densities, and intensities in
accordance with the LDC regulations of the underlying zoning classification, except

as restricted in LDC section 2.03.07 I.4.b.iv., or in accordance with the provisions of
the applicable BZO Subdistrict. In either instance, however, the BZO site development
standards as provided for in LDC section 4.02.16 shall apply.
4. Bayshore Zoning Overlay District (BZO) Subdistricts.
a. The BZO consists of the following subdistricts:
i. Neighborhood Commercial Subdistrict (BZO-NC). The purpose and intent of
this subdistrict is to encourage a mix of low intensity commercial and
residential uses, including mixed use projects in a single building. This
subdistrict provides for an increased presence and integration of the cultural
arts and related support uses, including galleries, artists' studios, and
live-work units. Developments will be human-scale and pedestrian-oriented.
ii. Waterfront Subdistrict (BZO-W). The purpose of this subdistrict is to encour-
age a mix of low intensity commercial and residential uses and allow
maximum use of the waterfront for entertainment while enhancing the area
for use by the general public. Development in this subdistrict is intended to
allow a mix of residential and commercial uses including limited marina and
boatyard uses.
iii. Residential Subdistrict 1 (BZO-R1). The purpose of this subdistrict is to
encourage the development of a variety of housing types which are
compatible with existing neighborhoods and allow for building additions such
as front porches. The intent in new development is to encourage a traditional
neighborhood design pattern and create a row of residential units with
uniform front yard setbacks and access to the street.
iv. Residential Subdistrict 2 (BZO-R2). The purpose of this subdistrict is to allow
for a variety of housing types and encourage the development of multi-family
residences as transitional uses between commercial and single-family
development. The multi-family buildings shall be compatible with the building
patterns of traditional neighborhood design.
v. Residential Subdistrict 3 (BZO-R3). The purpose of this subdistrict is to allow
for a variety of housing types and encourage the development of townhouses
and single-family dwellings. All new development in this subdistrict shall be
compatible with the building patterns of traditional neighborhood design.
vi. Residential Subdistrict 4 (BZO-R4). The purpose of this subdistrict is to
protect the character of existing neighborhoods comprised of detached
single-family dwelling units, while allowing for building additions such as front
porches.
b. Use Categories and Table of Uses.
i. All uses permitted in the BZO subdistricts have been divided into eight
general categories, which are summarized below:
a) Residential: Premises available for long-term human habitation by
means of ownership and rental, but excluding short-term leasing or
rental of less than one month's duration.

g) Civic and Institutional: Premises available for organizations dedicated
to religion, education, government, social service, and other similar

h) Infrastructure: Uses and structures dedicated to transportation,
communication, information, and utilities, including Essential Services.
ii. Interpretation of the Table of Uses.
a) The Table of Uses identifies uses as permitted uses (P); accessory
uses (A); conditional uses (CU), or a combination of the three. Blank
cells indicate that a use is not allowed in the corresponding
subdistrict; however, such use may be permitted by the underlying
zoning designation.
b) Any use not listed in the Table of Uses is prohibited unless the
County Manager or designee may determine that it falls within the
same class as a listed use through the process outlined in LDC
section 1.06.00, Rules of Interpretation.
c) Mixed Use Projects shall be limited to the permitted, accessory and
conditional uses allowed in the BZO-NC and BZO-W subdistricts,
and subject to the MUP approval process as outlined in LDC section
10.02.15. All other projects may elect to establish uses, densities and
intensities in accordance with their underlying zoning, except as
restricted in LDC section 2.03.07 I.4.b.iv., or in accordance with the
Overlay Subdistrict. However, all projects must comply with site
development standards as provided in LDC section 4.02.16.

1. Permitted uses. The following uses are permitted as of right in this subdistrict:
a. Clam nursery, subject to the following restrictions:
I. A "clam nursery" is defined as the growing of clams on a "raceway" or
"flow -through saltwater system" on the shore of a lot until the clam reaches a
size of approximately one-half inch.
ii. For the purposes of this section, a "raceway" or "flow -through salt water
system" is defined as a piece of plywood or similar material fashioned as a
table -like flow through system designed to facilitate the growth of clams.
iii. At no time may a nursery owner operate a raceway or raceways that exceed
a total of 800 square feet of surface area.

vacant lot; and
b) The vacant lot must not be leased to another individual for purposes
of operating a clam farm within the RSF-4 and VR zoning districts.

2.03.08 Rural Fringe Zoning Districts
A. Rural Fringe Mixed-Use District (RFMU District).
1. Purpose and scope. The purpose and intent of the RFMU District is to provide a transition
between the Urban and Estates Designated lands and between the Urban and Agricultural/
Rural and Conservation designated lands farther to the east. The RFMU District employs a
balanced approach, including both regulations and incentives, to protect natural resources
and private property rights, providing for large areas of open space, and allowing, in
designated areas, appropriate types, density and intensity of development. The RFMU District
allows for a mixture of urban and rural levels of service, including limited extension of central
water and sewer, schools, recreational facilities, commercial uses, and essential services
deemed necessary to serve the residents of the RFMU District. The innovative planning and
development techniques which are required and/or encouraged within the RFMU District were
developed to preserve existing natural resources, including habitat for listed species, to retain
a rural, pastoral, or park-like appearance from the major public rights-of-way, and to protect
private property rights.
a. Establishment of RFMU Zoning Overlay District. In order to implement the Rural
Fringe Mixed Use District (RFMUD) designation in the Future Land Use Element
(FLUE) of the GMP, the RFMU District shall be designated as "RFMUO" on the
Official Zoning Atlas and is hereby established. The RFMU District replaces the
underlying zoning district where that underlying zoning district is A, Rural Agricultural,
except where development standards are omitted in the RFMU District. The
County-wide Future Land Use Map is located in the Future Land Use Element of the
GMP or can be obtained from the Growth Management Department, located at 2800
N. Horseshoe Drive, Naples, FL 34104. The lands included in the RFMU District and
to which LDC section 2.03.08 apply are depicted by the following map:

b. Exemptions. The requirements, limitations and allowances of this section shall not
apply to, affect or limit the continuation of existing uses. Existing uses shall include:
those uses for which all required permits were issued prior to June 19, 2002; or,
projects for which a Conditional use has been approved by the County prior to June
19, 2002; or, projects for which a Rezone petition has been approved by the County
prior to June 19, 2002 - inclusive of all lands not zoned A, Rural Agricultural; or, land
use petitions for which a completed application has been submitted prior to June 19,

2002. The continuation of existing uses shall include on-site expansions of those uses
if such expansions are consistent with or clearly ancillary to the existing uses.
Hereafter, such previously approved developments shall be deemed to be consistent
with the Plan's Goals, Objectives and Policies for the RFMUD, and they may be built
out in accordance with their previously approved plans. Changes to these previous
approvals shall also be deemed consistent with the Plan's Goals, Policies and
Objectives for the RFMUD as long as they do not result in an increase in
development density or intensity.
c. Ordinance superceded. Ordinance Number 98-17 is hereby expressly superceded.
Any development in the area formerly subject to that ordinance shall henceforth
conform to the provisions of this Section and all other provisions of this Code that are
applicable to development within the RFMU district.
2. RFMU receiving lands. RFMU receiving lands are those lands within the RFMU district
that have been identified as being most appropriate for development and to which residential
development units may be transferred from RFMU sending lands. Based on the evaluation
of available data, RFMU receiving lands have a lesser degree of environmental or listed
species habitat value than RFMU sending lands and generally have been disturbed through
development or previous or existing agricultural operations. Various incentives are employed
to direct development into RFMU receiving lands and away from RFMU sending lands,
thereby maximizing native vegetation and habitat preservation and restoration. Such
incentives include, but are not limited to: the TDR process; clustered development; density
bonus incentives; and, provisions for central sewer and water. Within RFMU receiving lands,
the following standards shall apply, except as noted in LDC subsection 2.03.08 A.1 above, or
as more specifically provided in an applicable PUD.
a. Outside rural villages.
(1) NBMO Exemption. Except as specifically provided herein NBMO Receiving
Lands are only subject to the provisions of section 2.03.08 C.
(2) Maximum Density.
(a) Base density. The base residential density allowable within RFMU
receiving lands, exclusive of the applicable density blending
provisions set forth in section 2.05.02, is 1 unit per 5 gross acres (0.2
dwelling units per acre) or, for those legal nonconforming lots or
parcels in existence as of June 22, 1999, 1 unit per lot or parcel.

District (NRPA) is to: protect endangered or potentially endangered species by directing
incompatible land uses away from their habitats; to identify large, connected, intact, and
relatively unfragmented habitats, which may be important for these listed species; and to
support State and Federal agencies' efforts to protect endangered or potentially endangered
species and their habitats. NRPAs may include major wetland systems and regional
flow-ways. These lands generally should be the focus of any federal, state, County, or private
acquisition efforts. Accordingly, allowable land uses, vegetation preservation standards,
development standards, and listed species protection criteria within NRPAs set forth herein
are more restrictive than would otherwise be permitted in the underlying zoning district and
shall to be applicable in addition to any standards that apply tin the underlying zoning district.
a. NRPA overlay areas. NRPAs are located in the following areas:
(1) Clam Bay Conservation Area (within Pelican Bay Planned Unit develop-
ment);
(2) CREW (Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed);

b. NRPAS designated as RFMU sending lands within the RFMU district. NRPAs
located in the RFMU district are identified as RFMU sending lands and are further
subject to the provisions, conditions and standards set forth in section 2.03.08 (A)(4).
Private property owners within these NRPAs may transfer residential development
rights from these important environmentally sensitive lands to other identified
"receiving" lands pursuant to the specific provisions set forth in section 2.01.03 of this
Code.
c. Development standards. Development within a NRPA shall adhere to the following
standards:
(1) Vegetation Retention and Site Preservation - Native vegetation retention
shall be as required in Chapter 4.
(2) Permitted and conditional uses for all lands within a NRPA that are zoned
CON and for those lands within any NRPA that are publicly owned shall be as
set forth in sections 2.03.05 (B)(1)(a), (b) and (c), respectively.
(3) For privately owned lands within a NRPA within the RFMU district, permitted
and conditional uses shall be those as set forth in the RFMU district
Sending Lands (section 2.03.08 A.4.).
(4) For privately owned lands within a NRPA and designated Estates, permitted
and conditional uses shall be those as set forth in the Estates Designation
within the Golden Gate Area Master Plan. As these privately owned Estates
Designated lands are acquired for conservation purposes, the Comprehensive
Plan and will be amended to change the Designation to Conservation and the
property will be rezoned to the CON district.
(5) There are approximately 15 sections of privately owned land within a NRPA
that are not designated Sending and are not located within the RFMU
district. Eight (8) of these sections, known as the "hole-in-the-doughnut," are
located within the South Golden Gate Estates NRPA and surrounded by
platted Estates lots, almost all of which have been acquired by the State
under the Florida Forever program as part of the Picayune Strand State
Forest. The remaining seven (7) sections are within an approved mitigation
bank located north and west of Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. As these
privately owned Agricultural/Rural Designated lands are acquired for conserva-
tion purposes, the Plan will be amended to change the Designation to CON
district. Until such time as the designation on these lands is change to CON
district, permitted and conditional uses for these privately owned lands
shall be those set forth in underlying zoning district.
C. North Belle Meade Overlay District (NBMO).
1. Purpose and intent. The North Belle Meade Overlay (NBMO) is unique to the RFMU district
because it is surrounded by areas that are vested for development on three sides. Because
this area is largely undeveloped and includes substantial vegetated areas, the NBMO can and
does provide valuable habitat for wildlife, including endangered species. The NBMO is

habitat for listed species deserve particular attention because of their ecological value and their
sensitivity to perturbation. All proposals for development in the CON district must be subject to
rigorous review to ensure that the impacts of the development do not destroy or unacceptably
degrade the inherent functional values. The CON District includes such public lands as Everglades
National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, portions of
the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern, Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, Collier-Seminole
State Park, Rookery Bay National Estuarine Sanctuary Research Reserve, Delnor-Wiggins State
Park, and the National Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary (privately owned), and C.R.E.W. It is
the intent of the CON District to require review of all development proposed within the CON District
to ensure that the inherent value of the County's natural resources is not destroyed or unacceptably
altered. The CON District corresponds to and implements the conservation land use designation on
the future land use map of the Collier County GMP.

Recreational vehicles include travel trailers, park models, pickup coaches, and motor homes.
2 Density is calculated as the number of residential dwelling units per gross acre (see definition of
density, residential). Generally, in all zoning districts except for A, E and CON, this indicates the maximum
allowable density, including any applicable density bonuses per the density rating system in the growth
management plan. Density may be restricted by the board of county commissioners at the time of rezoning to
something less than the maximum, as indicated parenthetically on the official zoning atlas maps. For example,
"RMF-6(4)" allows all uses and development standards of the RMF-6 zoning district but density is limited to
4 dwelling units per acre.
3 A maximum of 26 dwelling units per acre are allowed for hotels and motels. A hotel or motel in Port of
the Islands may offer timeshare units and retain the density of 26 units per acre. Outside of Port of the Islands,
a hotel or motel or multi -family structure including a condominium which offers timeshare units is
permitted a density of up to 16 units per acre.
4 For RT zoning located inside Activity Centers as designated on the Growth Management Plan's Future
Land Use Map, residential units (including those for timeshares and multifamily uses) are allowed at a
maximum of 16 dwelling units per acre. Similarly for RT zoning not located within Activity Centers but in
existence at the time of adoption of the LDC (October 30, 1991), residential units are allowed at a maximum
of 16 units per acre.
5 For RT zoning not located within Activity Centers and not in existence at the time of adoption of this LDC
(October 30, 1991), allowed density is per the density rating system up to 16 dwelling units per acre. The
calculation of density shall be based on the land area defined by a lot(s) of record.

9 In the MH district, modular homes are allowable.
10 Properties zoned C-1 through C-3 may have associated residential densities in instances of mixed -use
development pursuant to the Future Land Use Element of the Growth Management Plan.
11 The density of 1 dwelling unit per 3 gross acres only applies to private in -holdings within the Big
Cypress National Preserve that were in existence prior to October 14, 1974.
12 Maximum allowable density in the BZO and GTZO overlays is attained through the Mixed Use Project
(MUP). Approval Process pursuant to the regulations in the Overlays.
13 One dwelling unit per 40 acres is the maximum density permitted in RFMU Sending Lands (see
section 2.03.08).
14 One dwelling unit per 5 acres is the maximum density permitted in RFMU Neutral Lands (see section
2.03.08).
15 One dwelling unit per acre is the maximum density permitted in RFMU Receiving Lands located
outside of a Rural Village with redemption of Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) credits; 0.2 units per acre
is the maximum density permitted in RFMU Receiving Lands without redemption of TDR credits; 3 dwelling
units per acre is the maximum density per acre in RFMU Receiving Lands located within a Rural Village with
the redemption of TDR credits (see section 2.03.08).
16 Only if Mobile Home Overlay exists.
17 Lock -off unit: Where the floor area of a timeshare unit or hotel room contains lock -off accommodations
which can be occupied separately from the main living unit, each lock -off accommodation shall be counted as
a full timeshare unit when computing the allowable density.
B. Acreage associated with historical/archaeological resources preserved within the boundaries of a
project shall be included in calculating the project's permitted density.

2.06.00 AFFORDABLE HOUSING DENSITY BONUS
2.06.01 Generally
A. Within most of the coastal urban designated areas identified on the future land use map of the Collier
County GMP, a base density of four residential dwelling units per gross acre is permitted. However, the
base density may be adjusted depending on the characteristics of the development. One characteristic
of a housing development which would allow the addition of density bonuses in order to increase the
density over the base density is the provision of affordable housing in the development. The provision
of affordable housing units may add up to 12 dwelling units per gross acre to the base density of four
residential dwelling units per gross acre, plus any other density bonuses available and minus any
density reduction that is required, pursuant to the GMP. The total eligible density must not exceed the
maximum density allowed pursuant to the GMP. The program to accomplish this increase to provide
affordable housing is called the affordable housing density bonus (AHDB) program.
B. Within most of the Immokalee Urban area, as identified on the Immokalee area master plan future land
use map of the growth management plan, base densities are four or six or eight residential dwelling
units per gross acre. However, the base density may be adjusted depending on the characteristics of the
development. One characteristic of a housing development that would allow the addition of density
bonuses is the provision of affordable housing in the development. The provision of affordable housing
units may add up to 12 dwelling units per gross acre to the base density plus any other density bonuses
available. The total eligible density must not exceed the maximum allowed pursuant to the GMP.
C. Within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay of the Agricultural/Rural area, as identified on the
future land use map of the growth management plan, towns, villages, hamlets and compact rural
developments are allowed at a density range of one-half to four dwelling units per gross acre. The
allowed density may be adjusted depending on the characteristics of the development. One character-
istic of a housing development that would allow the addition of density bonuses is the provision of
affordable housing in the development. The provision of affordable housing units may add up to eight
dwelling units per gross acre to the allowed density of one-half to four dwelling units per gross acre, for
a total of eight and one-half to twelve and one-half residential dwelling units per gross acre, plus any
other density bonuses available.
D. In order to qualify for the AHDB for a development, the developer must apply for and obtain the AHDB
from the County for a development in accordance with this section, especially in accordance with the
provisions of the AHDB program, including the AHDB rating system, the AHDB monitoring program, and
the limitations on the AHDB.
1. Preapplication conference. Prior to submitting an application for AHDB, a preapplication
conference may be scheduled with the County Manager or designee. The preapplication
conference provides an opportunity to familiarize the applicant with the AHDB program and
provides an opportunity for the county staff to obtain a clear understanding of the proposed
development.TheAHD13 rating system, theAHD6 monitoring program, the limitations, criteria,
procedures, standard conditions, standard forms, and other information will be discussed and
made available to the applicant. Depending on the type of development proposed, the
application may be combined with an application for a planned unit development (PUD), a
`- rezone, or a Stewardship Receiving Area.

(Ord. No. 05-27, § 3.G; Ord. No. 06-63, § 3X; Ord. No. 19-02, § 3.13)
2.06.02 Purpose and Intent
A. Section 2.06.00 is intended to implement and be consistent with the GMP, § 163.3161 et seq. F.S, Rule
9J-5, F.A.C., and the Stipulated Settlement Agreement in DOAH Case No. 89-1299 GM, by providing for
moderate-, low-, and very -low-income housing through the use of density bonuses which allow an
increase in the number of residential dwelling units per acre allowed on property proposed for
development, thereby decreasing the per unit cost of land and development.
B. This objective is accomplished by implementing an AHDB program which consists of an AHDB rating
system and an AHDB monitoring program. The purpose of the AHDB rating system is to provide
increased residential densities to developers who guarantee that a portion of their housing development
will be affordable by households of gap-, moderate-, low-, or very -low-income, thus expanding housing
opportunities for gap-, moderate-, low-, and very -low-income households throughout the county. The
purpose of the AHDB monitoring program is to provide assurance that the program is properly
implemented, monitored, and enforced, and that useful information on affordable housing may be
collected.
(Ord. No. 19-02, § 3.C)
2.06.03 AHDB Rating System
A. The AHDB rating system shall be used to determine the amount of the AHDB which may be granted for
`- a development, based on household income level, type of affordable housing units (owner -occupied or

rental, single-family or multi -family), and percentage of affordable housing units in the development. To
use the AHDB rating system, Table A below, shall be used. Table A shall be reviewed and updated, if
necessary, on an annual basis by the BCC or its designee.

' Total Allowable Density = Base Density + Affordable Housing Density Bonus. In no event shall the maximum gross density
exceed that which is allowed pursuant to the GMP.
2 Developments with percentages of affordable housing units which fall in between the percentages shown on Table A shall
receive an AHDB equal to the lower of the two percentages it lies between, plus 1 /10 of a residential dwelling unit per gross acre
for each additional percentage of affordable housing units in the development.
3 Where more than one type of affordable housing unit (based on level of income shown above) is proposed for a development,
the AHDB for each type shall be calculated separately. After the AHDB calculations for each type of affordable housing unit have
been completed, the AHDB for each type of unit shall be added to those for the other type(s) to determine the maximum AHDB
available for the development. In no event shall the AHDB exceed 12 dwelling units per gross acre.
4 Owner -occupied only.
5 May only be used in conjunction with at least 20% at or below 120% MI.
B. The AHDB shall be available to a development only to the extent that it otherwise complies and is
consistent with the GMP and the land development regulations, including the procedures, require-
ments, conditions, and criteria for "PUDs" and rezonings, where applicable.
C. The minimum number of affordable housing units that shall be provided in a development pursuant to
this section shall be 10 percent of the total housing units.
D. The ratio of number of bedrooms per affordable housing unit shall in general be equal to the ratio of the
number of bedrooms per residential unit for the entire development.
(Ord. No. 05-27, § 3.H; Ord. No. 06-14, § 3.A; Ord. No. 19-02, § 3.D)
2.06.04 Limitations on Affordable Housing Density Bonus
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the following limitations and conditions shall apply to all of the
AHDB for a development:
A. Affordable housing density bonus development agreement required. The AHDB shall be available to
a development only when an AHDB development agreement has been entered into by the developer/
applicant and the BCC, and such agreement has been approved by the county attorney and the BCC
pursuant to the public hearing process established in this section prior to execution. Amendments to
Supp. No. 18 LDC2:135
COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
2.06.04 A. 2 06 04 A 10
such agreement shall be processed as a regular agenda item before the BCC unless there is a
companion land use petition. The AHDB development agreement shall include, at a minimum, the
following provisions:
1. Legal description of the land subject to the agreement and the names of its legal and equitable
owners.
2. Total number of residential dwelling units in the development.
3. Minimum number of affordable housing units, categorized by level of household income, type
of unit (single-family or multifamily, owner -occupied or rental), and number of bedrooms,
required in the development.
4. Maximum number of AHDB dwelling units permitted in the development.
5. Gross residential density of the development.
6. Amount of monthly rent for rental units, or the price and conditions under which an owner -
occupied unit will be sold, for each type of affordable housing unit in accordance with the
definition for each type of affordable housing rental unit low- and very -low-income.
7. The foregoing notwithstanding, any rent charged for an affordable housing unit rented to a low -
or very -low-income household shall not exceed the amount published by the Florida Housing
Finance Corporation for Collier County adjusted by income level, family size, and number of
bedrooms, and updated annually.
8. No affordable housing unit in the development shall be rented to a tenant whose household
income has not been verified and certified in accordance with this division as a low- or
very -low-income household. Such verification and certification shall be the responsibility of the
developer and shall be submitted to the County Manager or designee for approval. Tenant
income verification and certification shall be repeated annually to assure continued eligibility.
9. No affordable housing unit that is to be sold, leased with option to purchase, or otherwise
conveyed in the development shall be sold, leased with option to purchase, or otherwise
conveyed to a buyer whose household income has not been verified and certified in accor-
dance with this section as a gap-, moderate-, low-, or very -low-income household. Such
verification and certification shall be the responsibility of the developer and shall be submitted
to the County Manager or designee for approval. It is the intent of this section to keep housing
affordable; therefore, any person who buys an affordable housing unit must agree, in a lien
instrument to be recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Collier County, Florida, that if the
property is sold (to a non -income qualified buyer, including the land and/or the unit) within 30
years after the original purchase at a sales price in excess of five percent per year of the original
purchase price that he will pay to the county an amount equal to one-half of the sales price in
excess of five percent increase per year. The lien instrument may be subordinated to a
qualifying first mortgage.
10. For example, a person originally buys a designated affordable housing unit (a house) for
$60,000.00 and sells it after five years for $80,000.00. A five percent increase per year for five
years will give a value of $76,577.00. Deducting this amount from the sales price of $80,000.00
gives a difference of $3,423.00. The seller would then owe the county $1,711.50 (one-half of
Supp. No. 18 LDC2:136
ZONING DISTRICTS AND USES
2.06.04 A.10. 2.06.04 A.20.
$3,423.00). Payment of this amount would release the recorded lien. Such payment shall be
maintained in a segregated fund, established by the county solely for affordable housing
purposes, and such money shall be used solely to encourage, provide for, or promote
affordable housing in Collier County.
11. No affordable housing unit in any building or structure in the development shall be occupied by
the developer, any person related to or affiliated with the developer, or a resident manager.
12. When the developer advertises, rents, sells or maintains the affordable housing unit, it must
advertise, rent, sell, and maintain the same in a nondiscriminatory manner and make available
any relevant information to any person who is interested in renting or purchasing such
affordable housing unit. The developer shall agree to be responsible for payment of any real
estate commissions and fees. The affordable housing units in the development shall be
identified on all building plans submitted to the county and described in the application for
AHDB.
13. The developer shall not disclose to persons, other than the potential tenant, buyer or lender of
the particular affordable housing unit or units, which units in the development are designated as
affordable housing units.
14. The square footage, construction and design of the affordable housing units shall be the same
as market rate dwelling units in the development.
15. The AHDB agreement and authorized development shall be consistent with the growth
management plan and land development regulations of Collier County that are in effect at the
time of development. Subsequently adopted laws and policies shall apply to the AHDB
agreement and the development to the extent that they are not in conflict with the number, type
of affordable housing units and the amount of AHDB approved for the development.
16. The affordable housing units shall be intermixed with, and not segregated from, the market rate
dwelling units in the development.
1Z The conditions contained in the AHDB development agreement shall constitute covenants,
restrictions, and conditions which shall run with the land and shall be binding upon the property
and every person having any interest therein at any time and from time to time.
18. The AHDB development agreement shall be recorded in the official records of Collier County,
Florida, subsequent to the recordation of the grant deed pursuant to which the developer
acquires fee simple title to the property.
19. Each affordable housing rental unit shall be restricted to remain and be maintained as the type
of affordable housing rental unit (low- or very -low-income) designated in accordance with the
AHDB development agreement for at least 30 years from the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy for such unit.
20. Each affordable housing owner -occupied unit shall be restricted to remain and be maintained
as the type of affordable housing owner -occupied unit (gap-, moderate-, low-, or very -low-
income) designated in accordance with the AHDB development agreement for at least 30 years
from the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for such unit.
Supp. No. 18 LDC2:137
COLLIER COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
2.06.04 A.21. 2 06 05 B 1
21. The developer and owner of a rental development shall provide on -site management to assure
appropriate security, maintenance and appearance of the development and the dwelling units
where these issues are a factor.
B. Compliance with growth management plan and land development regulations. The AHDB shall be
available to a development only to the extent that it otherwise complies and is consistent with the GMP
and the land development regulations, including the procedures, requirements, conditions and criteria
for PUDs and rezonings, where applicable.
C. Minimum number of affordable housing units. The minimum number of affordable housing units that
shall be provided in a development pursuant to this section shall be 10 percent of the total housing units.
D. Nontransferable. The AHDB is not transferrable between developments or properties.
E. Phasing. In the case where a development will occur in more than one phase, the percentage of
affordable housing units to which the developer has committed for the total development shall be
maintained in each phase and shall be constructed as part of each phase of the development on the
property. For example, if the total development's AHDB is based on the provision of ten percent of the
total dwelling units as affordable housing rental units for low-income households with two bedrooms per
unit, then each phase must maintain that same percentage (10 percent in this case) cumulatively.
(Ord. No. 04-72, § 3.H; Ord. No. 19-02, § 3.E)
2.06.05 Affordable Housing Density Bonus Monitoring Program
A. Annual progress and monitoring report. The AHDB for a development shall be subject to the AHDB
monitoring program set forth in this section. The developer shall provide the County Manager or
designee with an annual progress and monitoring report regarding the delivery of affordable housing
rental/ownership units throughout the period of their construction, rental, sale, and occupancy for each
of the developer's developments which involve the AHDB in a form developed by the County Manager
or designee. The annual progress and monitoring report shall, at a minimum, require any information
reasonably helpful to ensure compliance with this section and provide information with regard to
affordable housing in Collier County. To the extent feasible, the County Manager or designee shall
maintain public records of all dwelling units (AHDB and affordable housing units) constructed pursuant
to the AHDB program, all affordable housing units constructed pursuant to the AHDB program,
occupancy statistics of such dwelling units, complaints of violations of this section which are alleged to
have occurred, the disposition of all such complaints, a list of those persons who have participated as
tenants or buyers in the AHDB program, and such other records and information as the County Manager
or designee believes may be necessary or desirable to monitor the success of the AHDB program and
the degree of compliance therewith. Failure to complete and submit the monitoring report to the County
Manager or designee within 60 days from the due date will result in a penalty of up to $50.00 per day per
incident or occurrence unless a written extension not to exceed 30 days is requested prior to expiration
of the 60-day submission deadline.
B. Income verification and certification.
1. Eligibility. The determination of eligibility of gap-, moderate-, low-, and very -low-income
households to rent or buy and occupy affordable housing units is the central component of the
AHDB monitoring program. Household income eligibility is a three -step process:
(a) Submittal of an application by a buyer or tenant;
Supp. No. 18 LDC2:138
ZONING DISTRICTS AND USES
2.06.05 B.1. 2 06 05 B 5
(b) Verification of household income and assets; and
(c) Execution of an income certification.
All three shall be accomplished prior to a buyer or tenant being qualified as an eligible
household to rent or purchase and occupy an affordable housing unit pursuant to the AHDB
program. No person shall occupy an affordable housing unit provided under the AHDB program
prior to being qualified at the appropriate level of income (gap-, moderate-, low-, or very -low-
income).
2. The developer shall be responsible for accepting applications from buyers or tenants, verifying
income and obtaining the income certification for its development which involves AHDB, and all
forms and documentation must be provided to the County Manager or designee prior to
qualification of the buyer or tenant as a gap-, moderate-, low-, or very -low-income household.
The County Manager or designee shall review all documentation provided, and may verify the
information provided from time to time. Prior to occupancy by a qualified buyer or tenant, the
developer shall provide to the County Manager or designee, at a minimum, the application for
affordable housing qualification, including the income verification form and the income certifi-
cation form, and the purchase contract, lease, or rental agreement for that qualified buyer or
tenant. At a minimum, the lease shall include the name, address and telephone number of the
head of household and all other occupants, a description of the unit to be rented, the term of the
lease, the rental amount, the use of the premises, and the rights and obligations of the parties.
Random inspections to verify occupancy in accordance with this section may be conducted by
the County Manager or designee.
3. Application. A potential buyer or tenant shall apply to the developer, owner, manager, or agent
to qualify as a gap-, moderate-, low-, or very -low-income household for the purpose of renting
or owning and occupying an affordable housing unit pursuant to the AHDB program. The
application for affordable housing qualification shall be in a form provided by the County
Manager or designee and may be a part of the income certification form.
4. Income verification. The County Manager or designee or the developer shall obtain written
verification from the potential occupant (including the entire household) to verify all regular
sources of income to the potential tenant/owner (including the entire household). The written
verification form shall include, at a minimum, the purpose of the verification, a statement to
release information, employer verification of gross annual income or rate of pay, number of
hours worked, frequency of pay, bonuses, tips and commissions and a signature block with the
date of application. The verification shall be valid for up to 90 days prior to occupancy. Upon
expiration of the 90-day period, the information may be verbally updated from the original
sources for an additional 30 days, provided it has been documented by the person preparing
the original verification. After this time, a new verification form must be completed. The income
verification may take the form of the most recent year's filed income tax return for each
occupant who had filed and will occupy the affordable housing unit.
5. Income certification. Upon receipt of the application and verification of income, an income
certification form shall be executed by the potential buyer or tenant (including the entire
household) prior to sale or rental and occupancy of the affordable housing unit by the owner or
tenant. Income certification that the potential occupant has a gap-, moderate-, low-, or
Supp. No. 18 LDC2:139

2.06.05 B.S. 2 06 06 D.
very -low-income household income qualifies the potential occupant as an eligible household to
buy or rent and occupy an affordable housing unit under the AHDB program. The income
certification shall be in a form provided by the County Manager or designee.
6. The Developer shall be deemed in compliance with the AHDB agreement if the Developer has
complied with the tenant eligibility and qualification requirements of the Florida Housing
Finance Corporation by providing the County Community and Human Services Division a copy
of the annual Florida Housing Finance Corporation compliance and program reports.
(Ord. No. 04-72, § 3.1; Ord. No. 19-02, § 3.F)
2.06.06 Violations and Enforcement
A. Violations. It is a violation of section 2.06.00 to rent, sell or occupy, or attempt to rent, sell or occupy, an
affordable housing unit provided under the AHDB program except as specifically permitted by the terms

regulations, or subsequent amendments thereto, violated, name of the County Manager or designee,
and date and time when the violator shall appear before the code enforcement board.
C. Criminal enforcement. Any person who violates any provision of this section shall, upon conviction, be
punished by a fine not to exceed $500.00 per violation or by imprisonment in the county jail for a term
not to exceed 60 days, or by both, pursuant to the provisions of F.S. § 125.69. Such person also shall pay
all costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, including those incurred on appeal, involved in the case.
Each day such violation continues, and each violation, shall be considered a separate offense.
D. Civil enforcement. In addition to any criminal penalties which may be imposed pursuant to section
2.06.06 C. above, Collier County and the County Manager or designee shall have full power to enforce
the terms of this section and any AHDB development agreements, rezoning conditions or stipulations,
and planned unit development (PUD) conditions and stipulations pursuant to this section and the rights,
privileges and conditions described herein, by action at law or equity. In the event that it is determined
that a violation has occurred and has not or will not be corrected within 60 days, the certificate of
occupancy for all AHDB units within the development shall be withdrawn and the sanctions or penalties
provided in the AHDB development agreement shall be pursued to the fullest extent allowed by law.
