a. LDC Amendments
i. PL20200002306 – VR Zoning of Chokoloskee Island – 376 Smallwood Drive (privately-
initiated LDC amendment)
Applicant: Richard Hawthorne
Silver Sides Holding, LLC.
Agent: Brad Wester
Mr. Henderlong presented the proposed amendment noting it involves having the Collier
County Planning Commission (CCPC) consider a privately initiated application for a Land
Development Code (LDC) amendment to LDC Section 2.03.02 – Residential Zoning
Districts and more specifically, LDC section 2.03.02 F.1.c – Conditional Uses. The
amendment proposes a new conditional use in the Village Residential (VR) Zoning District
to allow for a waterfront sporting and recreational camp that is a water-related or water
dependent use for fishing, boating and recreation with certain use restrictions.
The following was noted during Subcommittee discussion:
• While the impetus for the proposed amendment is a project for a specific property, the
proposed conditional use would apply to other VR zoned properties within the County for
similar water related and water dependent compatible uses.
• According to County policy, amendments may be brought forth to the BCC at any
time during the year as the previous limitation of 2 cycles per year has been
eliminated.
• Consideration should be given to clarifying the number of boats allowed for the use
given it references the number of docks or slips.
• Concern there is no definition of “camp house” in the amendment or Land
Development Code which should be clarified.

• Concern on the potential impacts on neighboring properties which Staff noted would
be addressed during the Conditional Use process on a case by case basis before a
permit is issued.
Brad Wester, Agent for the property owner addressed the Subcommittee noting:
• The concept is to establish a “fishing camp” use whereby 4 Airstream trailers would
be available for lodging for reserved fishing participants.
• The camp house would be utilized as a central facility and include a kitchen, spaces to
watch television, bathroom and showers, areas to construct lures for fishing and no
lodging would be permitted in the building.
• The guests would be pre-registered for the sole purpose being provided the fishing
experience offered on site and no other type guest would be allowed to utilize the
facility (walk in guests, etc.).
• The applicant has experience in other areas of the country with the concept and
expressed concern limiting the number of boats however a total of 5 would be
reasonable.
Mr. Mulhere arrived at 2:20pm.
It was noted during discussions with Staff, the conditional use format would provide
flexibility for the requirements of an individual application given a certain number of boats
may be acceptable in one instance but a lesser or greater number in another based on the
characteristics of the property and use in question.
Mr. McLean moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend the
Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed amendment as presented by Staff
subject to incorporating language in Section 2.03 F.1.c.12 to read “The term camp house
is intended to include cooking facilities, sanitary facilities, etc. but not intended to allow
lodging” (or similar language). Said language to be considered when the item is heard by
the DSAC. Second by Mr. Curl. Carried unanimously 4 – 0.
ii. PL20200001481 – Good Oysters Landing (privately-initiated LDC amendment)
Applicant: Jeffery McDonald
Agent: Patrick G. White, Esq.
Mr. Henderlong presented the proposed amendment noting it involves amendment to
Section 2.03.07 J Goodland Zoning Overlay (GZO) District and more specifically Land
Development Code Section (LDC) 2.03.07 J.2 - Conditional Uses and LDC section 4.02.22
Table-14 Design and Dimensional Standards in the GZO District. It proposes a new
conditional use in the Goodland Zoning Overlay District to allow for oyster and shellfish
processing and distribution facilities and prohibit the onsite washing and rinsing of oysters.
Also, provides a design standard for the waterfront dependent use (oyster processing and
distribution facility) to be no greater than 750 square feet in gross floor area. Further, it will
allow a single family live/work unit over and/or abutting the oyster processing and
distribution facility (including ecotours to the oyster farm) with ancillary convenience
commercial.
The following was noted during Subcommittee discussions:
March 31,2021
o The activity would only be allowed in areas where waterfront dependent uses are
available and the conditional use perrnit incorporates a process whereby consideration
would be given to impacts on neighboring properties.
o Staffshould ensure the language "ancillary convenience commercial" is not construed
to permit a convenience store activity on site.. It may be beneficial to define or identify those entities qualifying as a "waterfront
dependent use" as it relates to the proposed amendment.
o Consideration should be given to relocating the 750 square foot gross floor area
limitation identified in Table l4 to the design standards section to create a more user
friendly document.
Patrick White, agent for the applicant noted only two vessels are allowed to be located on
site which would be stored on trailers and placed in the water via a lift. There are no docks
or piers associated with the use.
Mn Mulhere moved for lhe Developmenl Semices Advisory Committee to recommend the
Board of Counly Commissioners adopt the proposed amendment as presented by Stalf
subjea o changing the 2.03.07 1,2 to eliminate the reference to "Watefuont Dependent
Uses" and cile "aystur and shellfish processing..." on i,aterfront propefi. Second by Mr.
Curl. Carried unanimously 4 - 0.
b. Proposed meeting date
Staffnoted the next proposed meeting date is December 7, 2021 .
5. Public comments
