Agenda 10/12/2021 Item #12A (Isles of Capri Food Truck Park)10/12/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Board accept without comment four motions filed by the owner of the
proposed Isles of Capri Food Truck Park and either (1) move directly to hearing the three publicly
noticed appeals, or (2) remand the appeals to the Hearing Examiner.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: To dispose of four motions filed by the owner of the proposed Isles of Capri Food Truck
Park.
CONSIDERATIONS: This Executive Summary is solely a vessel to present four motions filed by the
Property Owner to the Board. A copy of the motions and reply papers is attached as back-up to this
agenda item. As back-up, the motions are now preserved in the record for each of the appeals.
The owner of the proposed Food Truck Site, Paul M. Grider and Tametha Grider, as Trustees of the
Grider Revocable Living Trust, has filed four motions relating to this matter. Briefly identified, they are:
1. That the BZA dismiss this appeal for the Neighboring Property Owner’s failure to allege facts
establishing standing to appeal SDP PL20200001903.
2. That the BZA finds that it lacks jurisdiction over Appeal PL20210002121 and remand it to the
Hearing Examiner, as the Neighboring Property Owner’s appeal of the OI is preempted to the
Hearing Examiner by Code § 2-87.6 and the Administrative Code.
3. That the BZA finds that it lacks jurisdiction over Appeal PL20210001944 and remand it to the
Hearing Examiner, as the Neighboring Property Owner’s appeal of the SDP is also preempted to
the Hearing Examiner pursuant to Code § 2-87.6 and the Administrative Code.
4. That the Board find (a) the Trust’s Zoning Verification Letter ZLTR-PL20200001955 (the “Trust
Zoning Verification”) issued on October 26, 2020, is a binding and valid determination that a
Food Truck Park is a permitted use, and accordingly, (b) the BZA cannot retroactively apply
FCC’s or its Appeal of OI PL20210000943 to the SDP approval for the Trust’s Food Truck Park.
The County Attorney would like to address two issues.
1. The Board has both the jurisdiction to hear the three appeals and the discretion to remand the
appeals to the Hearing Examiner.
The Property Owner’s position is that the Board does not have the jurisdiction to hear these
appeals but must remand the matter to the Hearing Examiner. The Neighboring Property Owner
expressly noticed its appeals to the BZA. Given the difference of opinion between the two parties as to
who should hear this, the County Attorney elected to consolidate the three appeals and take them to the
Board based on (1) the nature of this matter, and (2) the following provision set forth in the 1967 Special
Act, as amended by the Florida Legislature in 2001:
Sec. 250-56. - Same-Powers and duties.
(a) Boards of zoning appeals or the governing body acting as a board of zoning appeals in the
event it so elects, shall have the following powers and duties:
(1) To hear and decide administrative appeals where it is alleged there is error in any order,
requirement, decision, interpretation or determination made by an administrative official in
12.A
Packet Pg. 269
10/12/2021
the enforcement of any zoning ordinance or regulation adopted pursuant to this Act.
(b) No administrative appeal shall be considered by a board of zoning appeals or the governing
body acting as a board of zoning appeals except after public hearing with due public notice.
(Laws of Fla. ch. 67-1246, § 14; Laws of Fla. ch. 2001 -344, § 1)
The County Attorney and former Deputy County Manager Nick Casalanguida recommended to
the Board the creation of the Hearing Examiner for the purpose of expediting and reducing the costs of
applications involving minor land use changes that were non-controversial and bordered on the
ministerial. It was the intent that matters that merited full public hearings before the Board of Zoning
Appeals could still be heard by the BZA under the original jurisdiction of the Special Act. Note that
when the Special Act was amended in 2001 to create the potential for a Hearing Examiner, the above-
cited provision providing the Board with jurisdiction to hear appeals was expressly retained.
While the Board has the jurisdiction to hear the three appeals, the Hearing Examiner Ordinance
provides the Board with the discretion to remand these appeals to the Hearing Examiner if the Board so
chooses:
5. The Board of County Commissioners, by majority vote, may remand any advertised
public hearing involving a development order to the Hearing Examiner for the sole
purpose of opining on a legal or technical land use issue rai sed during the hearing. After
reviewing the matter utilizing any procedure the Hearing Examiner deems appropriate,
which may or may not include an advertised public hearing, the Hearing Examiner will
issue a non-binding recommendation to the Board with respect to the issue remanded,
which recommendation will become part of the record when the matter is again heard by
the Board.
(Sec. 2-87, Code of Laws and Ordinances of Collier County, Florida)
A copy of the Special Act, together with a copy of the Hearing Examiner Ordinance, is attached.
2. The Board should accept without comment the four motions filed by the owner of the
proposed Isles of Capri Food Truck Park and move directly to hearing the three publicly
noticed appeals or remand the matter to the Hearing Examiner.
To the best of my information and belief, the filing of a motion to the BZA is an issue of first
impression for the Board.
The following is an excerpt from an article written by Mr. Robert Lincoln (who authored the four
motions), published in the Stetson Law Review (Vol. 25, 1996):
“b. Procedural Due Process in Quasi-Judicial Hearings Quasi-judicial proceedings are not
required to provide all the safeguards of a proceeding before a court. The procedural due
process considerations that attach to quasi-judicial actions were well described in
Jennings v. Dade County: Quasi-judicial proceedings are not controlled by strict rules of
evidence and procedure. Nonetheless, certain standards of basic fairness must be adhered
to in order to afford due process. Consequently, a quasi-judicial decision based upon the
record is not conclusive if minimal standards of due process are denied. A quasi -judicial
hearing generally meets basic due process requirements if the parties are provided notice
of the hearing and an opportunity to be heard. In quasi-judicial zoning hearings, the
parties must be able to present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and be informed of all
12.A
Packet Pg. 270
10/12/2021
the facts upon which the commission acts. In addition, the opportunity to be heard must
be at a fair hearing before an impartial body.”
Collier County does not have any procedure concerning the filing of a motion to be heard by the BZA
prior to hearing a publicly noticed appeal. The filing and hearing of a motion was sim ply never
contemplated by the Board.
The BZA is not a Court. Like many BZAs elsewhere, the Collier County BZA is not comprised of
trained jurists. A quasi-judicial board is only expected to meet basic due process requirements. Quasi-
judicial hearings are expressly not controlled by strict rules of evidence or procedure. Without any
process or procedure in place concerning motion practice, hearing and ruling on these motions in and of
itself creates a due process issue. It would also open the door for further applicants to file motions, which
would greatly expand the ability of the non-prevailing party in a quasi-judicial hearing to contest the
decision, creating both delay and uncertainty in the process.
The only decision the BZA need make is whether you wish to hear these three appeals or remand the
matters to the Hearing Examiner.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board accept without comment four motions filed by the owner of the
proposed Isles of Capri Food Truck Park and either (1) move directly to hearing the three publicly noticed
appeals, or (2) remand the appeals to the Hearing Examiner.

BEFORE THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA
FCC BEACH AND YACHT, LLC,
Appellant
v APPEAL No. PL20210001944
COLLIER COUNTY, and GRIDER ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL OF
REVOCABLE TRUST, SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Appellees PL20200001903
GRIDER REVOCABLE TRUST’S MOTION TO DISMISS FOR LACK OF STANDING
Grider Revocable Living Trust (the “Trust”), by and through undersigned counsel, moves
the Board of Zoning Appeals (the “BZA”) to dismiss Appeal No. 20210001944 by FCC Beach
and Yacht, LLC (“FCC”) of Site Development Plan (SDP) PL20200001903 because FCC has not
established it is aggrieved by the approval of the SDP, and in support states:
1. The Trust is the applicant for SDP PL20200001903. FCC is appealing the approval
of that application by the Development Review Division.
2. FCC’s appeal of the SDP approval asserts only one error by staff: approving the
Food Truck Park use as an “eating place” (SIC 5812), which is a permitted use pursuant to LDC
§ 2.03.03.C.1.a.31. FCC asserts the Staff should have required the Trust obtain a “Comparable Use
Determination,” even though the Trust had a prior Zoning Verification Letter confirming that the
Food Truck Park was a permitted as an eating place.
3. FCC’s appeal of the SDP is an “administrative appeal” – that is, an appeal of a
decision, determination or interpretation of the County’s Land Development Code (“LDC”) by the
Development Review Division, who has been delegated authority by the County Manager. While
LDC § 1.06.01.D.6.a gives the right to appeal an official interpretation to any “affected person”
living within 300 feet of the subject property, only “aggrieved persons” have authority to bring
12.A.1
Packet Pg. 273 Attachment: Motion to Dismiss SDP Appeal - Standing 10-1-21 (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
2
other administrative appeals. That standard is found in Code of Laws and Ordinances (the “Code”)
§ 250-58, which states an appeal “may be taken by any person aggrieved or by any officer,
department, board, or bureau of the governing body or bodies in the area affected by the
administrative decision, determination or requirement made by the administrative official.”
(emphasis added).
4. The LDC does not define “aggrieved person,” but the longstanding definition under
Florida law is as follows:
An aggrieved or adversely affected person having standing to sue is a person who
has a legally recognizable interest which is or will be affected by the action of the
zoning authority in question. The interest may be one shared in common with a
number of other members of the community as where an entire neighborhood is
affected, but not every resident and property owner of a municipality can, as a
general rule, claim such an interest. An individual having standing must have a
definite interest exceeding the general interest in community good share in common
with all citizens. So-called "spite suits" will not be tolerated in this area of the law
any more than in any other.
Renard v. Dade County, 262 So. 2d 832, 837 (Fla. 1972). Staff has previously required third parties
such as FCC to meet that legal definition of an aggrieved person to appeal an SDP approval. In
finding an appeal of a site plan insufficient, Raymond Bellows wrote:
The application does not address the standing of your client; it does not identify
how your client has been aggrieved by the administrative decision as required by
Section 250-58 of the Collier County Code of Laws.
Per the letter included with the application, you are appealing the administrative
decision that individual hotel rooms are not subject to the 700 square foot minimum
floor area per unit requirement for Mixed Use building types located within the
Gateway Triangle Mixed Use Overlay, Mixed Use Subdistrict (GTMUD-MXD)
(LDC 4.02.16 B.l., Table 7). Please demonstrate how this administrative decision
will cause your client to suffer an adverse effect to an interest protected or
furthered by the Collier County Growth Management Plan, Land Development
Code, or Building Codes, and how the alleged adverse interest exceeds in degree
the general interest in the community good shared by all persons
(Insufficiency Letter dated August 19, 2019, attached as Exhibit 1) (emphasis added).
12.A.1
Packet Pg. 274 Attachment: Motion to Dismiss SDP Appeal - Standing 10-1-21 (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)

5. Unfortunately, the Staff failed to apply the same required legal test here. FCC’s
appeal of the Trust’s SDP fails to include any allegations that, if proved, would establish FCC has
any legitimate interest created by the LDC that will be adversely affected in any way by the Staff
determination that a Food Truck Park is an “eating place” permitted by LDC § 2.03.03.C.1.a.31,
or that any such interest exceeds the interest of the general public.
6. Moreover, there is no way FCC, whose property is also zoned C-3, can establish
the decision that a Food Truck Park is a permitted use in the C-3 district will impose any adverse
impact on its property based on any interest established by the LDC that exceeds that of the general
public. FCC cannot establish that any traffic, noise, or any other aspect of a Food Truck Park that
could affect its property would be greater or different than for all of the other uses permitted in the
district, or greater than would affect all of the property owners and residents in Isles of Capri.
7. Given all the facts, this appeal is not a good-faith objection: it is a spite-suit to
delay and harass the Trust from developing its property.
8. FCC’s appeal of the Trust’s SDP approval is patently insufficient, does not establish
FCC’s standing to bring that appeal, and therefore must be dismissed.
WHEREFORE, the Grider Revocable Trust demands the BZA dismiss this appeal for the
FCC’s failure to allege facts establishing standing to appeal SDP PL2020.

BEFORE THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA
FCC BEACH AND YACHT, LLC,
Appellant
v APPEAL No. PL20210001944
COLLIER COUNTY, and GRIDER ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL OF
REVOCABLE TRUST, SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Appellees PL20200001903
RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO GRIDER REVOCABLE TRUST’S
MOTION TO DISMISS FOR LACK OF STANDING
Appellant FCC Beach & Yacht, LLC (“FCC”) owns 32 of the 65 parcels located in
Collier County on a piece of property that is nearly entirely surrounded by water (the “Semi-
Island”). The Semi-Island is a small portion of a larger chain of islands known as the Isles of
Capri and is primarily residential in character. Appellee Grider Revocable Living Trust
(“Applicant”) applied to Appellee Collier County (“County”) for approval of a site development
plan (“SDP”) that included eight of Applicant’s parcels (the “SDP Parcels”). The SDP Parcels
are within 300 feet of FCC’s parcels on the Semi-Island. The SDP proposes to develop the SDP
Parcels for use as a food truck park in which food and alcohol will be served from food trucks
and consumed by patrons offsite or onsite at outdoor seating, in the open field areas identified on
the SDP, and/or at an outdoor bar and dance floor and surrounding areas (the “Food Truck Park
& Bar”). The Food Truck Park & Bar will substantially change the character of the Semi-Island,
attracting increased numbers or non-residents, and increasing traffic, noise and light pollution.
Each food truck is anticipated to rely upon generators, which exponentially increase outdoor
sound and noxious fumes. No County regulations limit the number of food trucks that may
congregate in the Food Truck Park & Bar, nor mandate the provision of restrooms, regulate
parking, prohibit outdoor amplified music, limit hours of operation, or otherwise protect the
12.A.3
Packet Pg. 278 Attachment: Response to Motion to Dismiss SDP Appeal re Standing (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
2
health, safety and welfare of neighboring properties such as FCC’s. As the owner of nearly half
of the parcels on the Semi-Island, FCC will be substantially affected by the increased number of
non-residents, and the increased noise, traffic, garbage, and smells emanating from the Food
Truck Park & Bar. Despite the clear detrimental impact of the SDP approval on FCC, Applicant
claims FCC lacks standing to appeal.
As set forth in more detail below, Applicant’s Motion to Dismiss should be denied
because FCC has established its status as an aggrieved party.
MEMORANDUM OF LAW
“Appeals to a board of zoning appeals or the governing body, as the case may be, may be
taken by any person aggrieved or by any officer, department, board, or bureau of the governing
body or bodies in the area affected by the decision, determination or requirement made by the
administrative official.” See Sec. 250-58(a), Collier County Code of Laws,. “An aggrieved or
affected party is defined as any person or group of persons which will suffer an adverse effect to
an interest protected or furthered by the Collier County Growth Management Plan, Land
Development Code, or Building Code(s). The alleged adverse interest may be shared in
common with other members of the community at large, but shall exceed in degree the
general interest in community good shared by all persons.” See Form for Appeal of
Administrative Decision under Section 250-58, available at
https://www.colliercountyfl.gov/home/showdocument?id=14685 (last accessed October 4,
2021).1 As discussed below, FCC satisfies this criteria because it will: (1) suffer an adverse
effect; (2) to an interest protected by the Collier County Land Development Code (“LDC”).
Namely, FCC has been denied its right to be heard in conjunction with the comparable use

Packet Pg. 279 Attachment: Response to Motion to Dismiss SDP Appeal re Standing (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
3
determination procedure set forth in LDC section 10.02.06 K (the “CUD Procedure”) and the
County failed to ensure FCC, as a neighboring property owner, will not be subjected to noise,
glare, or odor effects greater than that of other permitted uses.2 Each of these interests will be
addressed in turn.
Because food truck parks are not specifically identified as a permitted, accessory, or
conditional use within the C-3 zoning district, the LDC requires that they “shall be prohibited in
such zoning district.” See LDC section 2.02.03 (“Any use or structure not specifically identified
in a zoning district as a permitted use, conditional use, or accessory use shall be prohibited in
such zoning district.”); LDC section 2.03.03.C (identifying permitted, conditional, and accessory
uses within the C-3 zoning district without including food truck parks). The only way the
County could have approved the SDP or allowed the Food Truck Park & Bar in the C-3 zoning
district is if the County was authorized to exercise discretion through the CUD Procedure to
determine the use was a permissible, conditional or accessory use.3 In fact, the County advised
the Applicant that its SDP could not be approved “until the comparable/ compatible use
determination is approved.” See March 17, 2021 Zoning Review, attached as Exhibit A, at p. 7.
The CUD Procedure provides:
K. Comparable Use Determination.
1. The following Comparable Use Determination (CUD) shall be used to
determine whether a use is comparable in nature with the list of permitted
uses, and the purpose and intent statement of the zoning district, overlay, or
PUD.
2 Applicant submitted the SDP for approval after adoption of the CUD Procedure. Thus, the
County was required to comply with the CUD Procedure in approving the SDP.
3 Technically, the CUD Procedure may only be used where the permitted uses within the zoning
district are not clearly defined. See LDC section 2.03.00.A. Here, the zoning district was clearly
limited to permanent food structures and excluded food truck parks. See LDC section 2.03.03
C.1.a.31.
12.A.3
Packet Pg. 280 Attachment: Response to Motion to Dismiss SDP Appeal re Standing (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)

2. To be effective, the Comparable Use Determination shall be approved by the
Hearing Examiner by decision, or Board of Zoning Appeals by resolution,
at an advertised public hearing based on the following standards, as
applicable:
a. The proposed use possesses similar characteristics to other permitted uses
in the zoning district, overlay, or PUD, including but not limited to the
following:
i. Operating hours;
ii. Traffic volume generated/attracted;
iii. Type of vehicles associated with the use;
iv. Number and type of required parking spaces; and
v. Business practices and activities.
b. The effect of the proposed use would have on neighboring properties in
relation to the noise, glare, or odor effects shall be no greater than that of
other permitted uses in the zoning district, overlay, or PUD.
c. The proposed use is consistent with the GMP, meaning the applicable
future land use designation does not specifically prohibit the proposed use,
and, where the future land use designation contains a specific list of
allowable uses, the proposed use is not omitted.
d. The proposed use shall be compatible and consistent with the other
permitted uses in the zoning district, overlay, or PUD.
e. Any additional relevant information as may be required by County
Manager or Designee.
3. The Administrative Code shall establish the process and application submittal
requirements to obtain a Comparable Use Determination.
See LDC section 10.02.06 K. Because the effect of the CUD Procedure is to allow a use on a
property that would not otherwise be allowed, and for which neighboring properties were not
previously on notice could be allowed, the CUD Procedure required that the proposed use not
only be comparable in nature to listed permitted uses, but also be comparable in impact to
neighboring properties. The CUD Procedure protects at least two of FCC’s interests: (a) the
County was required to hold an advertised public hearing, granting FCC a right to be heard, and
(b) the County was required to protect neighboring properties, such as FCC’s, from “noise, glare
12.A.3
Packet Pg. 281 Attachment: Response to Motion to Dismiss SDP Appeal re Standing (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
5
[and/or] odor effects.” Id. The County’s approval of the SDP without complying with the CUD
Procedure adversely affects both of these interests.
First, FCC was denied its right to be heard at the advertised public hearing required by
the CUD Procedure. Had the County held a public hearing, a necessary prerequisite for
approving the SDP, FCC could have presented the expert opinion of Wayne Arnold
demonstrating that a Food Truck Park & Bar is not comparable to any permitted use identified in
the C-3 zoning district because the impacts to neighboring properties, such as FCC’s, are
substantially different and more burdensome. See W. Arnold Opinion, incorporated by reference
in the appeal and attached as Exhibit B. For instance, unlike restaurants, the food trucks are not
structures that meet the required building codes for structures and are anticipated to use
generators, which will emit noxious fumes and noise. Additionally, the Project Site Plan
proposes live, amplified music from noon until 10 p.m. every day with no noise mitigation
strategies employed. FCC would have demonstrated at the public hearing that the Food Truck
Park & Bar is not comparable in nature to permitted uses listed in the C-3 zoning district, nor
comparable in impact to neighboring properties, and will detrimentally impact FCC’s property.4
This denial of due process adversely affected an interest of FCC protected by the LDC, making
FCC an aggrieved party.
Second, the CUD Procedure was enacted to ensure a use would not be allowed within the
C-3 zoning district that emits more noise, glare or odor upon neighboring properties than other
permitted uses. As a neighboring property owner, FCC was entitled to have the County make
4 The Hearing Examiner would have had the authority to consider any evidence presented by
FCC at the public hearing. “The Hearing Examiner shall not be limited to the evidence
presented by Applicant or County at the hearing. The Hearing Examiner may consider any
additional relevant evidence including, but not limited to, any of the following: . . . . Physical
characteristics of the subject parcel and surrounding lands. . . . Nature of and impacts on
surrounding land use.” See LDC, Chapter 9, Administrative Procedures Manual at p. 243.
12.A.3
Packet Pg. 282 Attachment: Response to Motion to Dismiss SDP Appeal re Standing (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)

this determination before approving the SDP. By failing to do so, FCC’s interest was adversely
affected, making FCC an aggrieved party.
Thus, FCC has at least two legally recognizable interests that will be substantially
affected by the SDP Approval. As recognized by Applicant, these interests may be “shared in
common with a number of other members of the community as where an entire neighborhood is
affected.” See Motion, at p. 2 (quoting Renard v. Dade County, 262 So. 2d 832, 837 (Fla.
1972)). The interests need only “exceed[] the general interest in community good shared[] in
common with all citizens.” Id. Unlike the appeal referenced in Exhibit 1 to Applicant’s Motion
to Dismiss, FCC demonstrated in its appeal that it will be aggrieved by the SDP Approval:
The food truck park will attract people to [the Semi-Island] that would not
otherwise come to the island, increase traffic to the area greatly diminish property
values for surrounding property owners and the residents of [the Semi-Island].
The Property Owner will suffer significant damages including but not limited loss
in property value as a result of the construction authorized in the SDP.
See Appeal, p. 3. Thus, FCC articulated specific adverse effects that will impact FCC to a
greater extent than the average citizen of Collier County. FCC’s loss in property value resulting
from the Food Truck Park & Bar is a tangible and quantifiable loss far exceeding some “general
interest in community well being shared by all persons.” Florida Rock Properties v. Keyser, 709
So. 2d 175, 178 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998) (involving Section 163.3215(2), Fla. Stat. which defined
“aggrieved party” the same as Sec. 250-58(a), Collier County Code of Laws).
Applicant incorrectly suggests at paragraph 6 of the Motion that FCC must demonstrate
that it will be impacted to a greater degree than any other property owner on the Semi-Island.
Rather, FCC need only show something more than a generalized interest. See, e.g., Save
Homosassa River Alliance, Inc. v. Citrus County, 2 So.3d 329, 340 (Fla. 5th DCA 2008)
(interpreting similar language and opining: “The statute does not say that a party must be harmed
12.A.3
Packet Pg. 283 Attachment: Response to Motion to Dismiss SDP Appeal re Standing (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
7
to a greater degree than the general public;” “There is nothing obscure about the statutory
language requiring a person seeking standing to allege an interest that exceeds in degree the
general interest in community good shared by all persons to establish standing. It simply means
that a party must allege that they have an interest that is something more than ‘a general interest
in community well being.’”); Sw. Ranches Homeowners Ass'n, Inc. v. Broward County, 502 So.
2d 931, 934 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987) (holding that property owners adjacent to a proposed
development would have standing, but that a group of concerned citizens with a generalized
interest would not). Because the Food Truck Park & Bar will substantially reduce the value of
32 of FCC’s parcels, FCC has established an interest separate from an interest in the “community
good.”
For the foregoing reasons, FCC is an aggrieved party and Applicant’s Motion to Dismiss
for Lack of Standing should be denied.
Respectfully submitted this 5th day of October, 2021.

RE: Request for Official Interpretation
Dear Ms. Jenkins:
On behalf of FCC Beach & Yacht, LLC, we are requesting an official interpretation of the Collier
County Land Development Code (LDC). LDC Section 1.06.02 D. provides that an official
interpretation may be requested by any affected person, resident, developer, landowner,
government agency or department, or any person having a contractual interest in land in Collier
County. FCC Beach & Yacht, LLC is a landowner of C-3 zoned property in Collier County and is
eligible to seek the official interpretation of the LDC.
The applicant seeks to confirm that a “Food Truck Park”, “Food Truck Court”, or “Mobile Food
Vending Park”, is not a permitted use in the C-2 and C-3 Zoning Districts, or within any
commercial component of a Planned Unit Development (PUD), unless the specific use of a
“Food Truck Park”, “Food Truck Court”, or “Mobile Food Vending Site” (hereinafter collectively
referred to as “Food Truck Park”) is identified as a permitted use within the commercial zoning
district or commercial component of a PUD.
This interpretation also seeks to confirm that a “Food Truck Park”, may not be deemed a
permitted use within the C-2 and C-3 Zoning Districts, or any commercial component of a PUD.
The interpretation seeks to confirm that the LDC must be amended to allow Food Truck Parks
as an allowed use assuming the Board of County Commissioners agrees such a use should be
allowed. As explained in this letter, a Food Truck Park is significantly different than a
restaurant and should not be interpreted to be a restaurant.
The term: “Food Truck Park” is not defined in the Collier County LDC, Ordinance 2004-41, as
amended. LDC Section 2.02.03, Prohibited uses states the following:
“Any use or structure not specifically identified in a zoning district as a permitted use,
conditional use, or accessory use shall be prohibited in such zoning district. “

Because a Food Truck Park is undefined in the LDC, it is prohibited unless an official
interpretation of the LDC is issued which then determines that the above described “Food
Truck” use is a permitted use pursuant to LDC 2.03.00 A., and LDC 10.02.06 K. Comparable Use
Determination, which state:
LDC 2.03.00 A.
A. Rules for Interpretation of Uses. In any zoning district, where the list of permitted
uses contains the phrase "any other use which is comparable in nature with the
foregoing uses and is consistent with the permitted uses and purpose and intent
statement of the district" or any similar phrase which provides for a use which is not
clearly defined or described in the list of permitted uses, which requires the discretion of
the County Manager or designee as to whether or not it is permitted in the district, then
the determination of whether or not that use is permitted in the district shall be made
through the process outlined in LDC section 10.02.06 K.
LDC section 10.02.06 K.
K. Comparable Use Determination.
1. The following Comparable Use Determination (CUD) shall be used to determine
whether a use is comparable in nature with the list of permitted uses, and the
purpose and intent statement of the zoning district, overlay, or PUD.
2. To be effective, the Comparable Use Determination shall be approved by the
Hearing Examiner by decision, or Board of Zoning Appeals by resolution, at an
advertised public hearing based on the following standards, as applicable:
a. The proposed use possesses similar characteristics to other permitted uses
in the zoning district, overlay, or PUD, including but not limited to the
following:
i. Operating hours;
ii. Traffic volume generated/attracted;
iii. Type of vehicles associated with the use;
iv. Number and type of required parking spaces; and
v. Business practices and activities.
b. The effect of the proposed use would have on neighboring properties in
relation to the noise, glare, or odor effects shall be no greater than that of
other permitted uses in the zoning district, overlay, or PUD.
c. The proposed use is consistent with the GMP, meaning the applicable future
land use designation does not specifically prohibit the proposed use, and,

where the future land use designation contains a specific list of allowable
uses, the proposed use is not omitted.
d. The proposed use shall be compatible and consistent with the other
permitted uses in the zoning district, overlay, or PUD.
e. Any additional relevant information as may be required by County Manager
or Designee.
3. The Administrative Code shall establish the process and application submittal
requirements to obtain a Comparable Use Determination.
It is my expert planning opinion that a “Food Truck Park” is not a comparable use to any other
commercial use identified in the Collier County LDC within the C-2 and C-3 Zoning Districts or any
commercial component of a PUD.
In my expert planning opinion, a “Food Truck Park” does not have similar characteristics to any
other use permitted by right or conditional use in the C-2 and C-3 Zoning Districts or commercial
component of a PUD. Specifically, a Food Truck Park is not comparable to a restaurant. The
American Planning Association has published a Planning Advisory Service Report, PAS EIP-36,
November 2015 titled Regulating Food Trucks. The Report provides an array of local government
ordinances in which a multitude of local governments have developed specific zoning and
permitting guidelines to address among other considerations, food safety, traffic, noise and
neighborhood compatibility. These many local governments did not determine that a “Food
Truck Park” is the same use as a restaurant. Communities such as San Antonio, Texas have
determined that there are potential negative economic impacts associated with “Food Truck
Parks”.
The “Food Truck Park” use is not comparable to a restaurant in that it is not located in a brick-
and-mortar facility and does not meet any Collier County LDC definition for a restaurant. The
LDC defines restaurant and the types of restaurants as follows:
Restaurant: A building or part of a building where food is offered for sale or sold to the
public primarily for immediate consumption.
Restaurant, drive-through: A fast food facility with one or more drive-through lanes
where food is ordered through a speaker phone and a menu board located in the drive-
through lane. This type of facility has no indoor seating or food ordering but may have
walk-up windows and/or outdoor seating.
Restaurant, fast food: An establishment where food is prepared and served to the
customers in an ready to consume state for consumption either within the restaurant
building, outside the building but on the same premises, or off the premises and having any
combination of two or more of the following characteristics:

a. A limited menu, usually posted on a sign rather than printed on individual sheets or
booklets;
b. Self-service rather than table service by restaurant employees;
c. Disposable containers and utensils;
d. A kitchen area in excess of 50% of the total floor area; or
e. A cafeteria or delicatessen shall not be deemed a fast food restaurant for the
purposes of this Land Development Code.
Restaurant, sit-down: A restaurant where food is ordered from a menu normally while
seated at a table, and where table service is provided. Cafeterias are deemed sit-down
restaurants for the purposes of this Land Development Code.
Restaurant, walk-up: A fast food facility with one or more walk-up windows. This type
of facility has no indoor eating or drive-through windows, but may have outdoor seating.
A “Food Truck” is not a permanent structure and there are no LDC provisions relating to the use
and operation of a “Food Truck”. There are numerous Collier County code provisions that govern
and regulate where and how a restaurant may operate. There are no such code provisions
relating to “Food Truck Parks”. Furthermore, restaurant sizes are specifically limited in the C-2
and C3 Zoning Districts. A Food Truck Park could collectively exceed the square footage limitation
for a restaurant because the food truck is not considered a permanent structure and does not
count towards a restaurant’s square footage. In addition, food truck park could include multiple
acres, have an unlimited number of food trucks, allow hundreds of patrons, include an outdoor
bar, include an outdoor band area and not exceed the permanent structure limitations associated
with a restaurant. The very nature of a Food Truck Park is more like an
amusement/entertainment use and not a restaurant use.
Other communities that have specifically addressed “Food Truck Park” and “Food Trucks” have
included restrictions specifically for this use. Evanston, Illinois for example prohibits a “Food
Truck” from being located within 100’ of a fixed location restaurant, unless consent is provided
by the restaurant owner. Evanston also establishes separation standards from a school, prohibits
outside amplified sound, limits hours of operation and requires access to restroom facilities.
Similarly, Raleigh, North Carolina regulates food trucks by setting licensing guidelines,
establishing a separation from residential zones, maximizing the number of mobile vendors that
may congregate, and only permitting amplified sound by City Council approval.
These and many other communities have distinguished a “Food Truck” from a restaurant use due
to the obvious physical and operational differences compared to a conventional restaurant.
While some communities have embraced “Food Trucks” and “Food Truck Parks” as an
opportunity to expand food choices within a community, most have also established clear
permitting guidelines for this use in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of their

communities.
These communities have recognized the unique characteristics of a “Food Truck” and “Food Truck
Park” and determined that without location and operational standards the use is not permitted.
The ITE Manual only recently began to include the use category for a “Food Court Pod” as a
service industry. The study area was based only in Oregon and looked only at a limited number
of sites and may not reflect the traffic associated with a Food Truck Park in Southwest Florida,
which has year-round outdoor dining opportunities. Depending on the location a Food Truck
Park, may generate far greater and vastly different traffic volume and associated vehicles
associated with the use. The LDC does not contemplate a “Food Truck Park” and does not
establish parking requirements for the use. Depending on the location of such a “Food Truck
Park”, parking and other impacts may not be similar to that of a brick-and-mortar restaurant use.
With regard to Business practices and activities, a “Food Truck Park” by its nature will have almost
all activities occurring outdoors, with little if any indoor dining or activity. Further, the mobile
nature of the food trucks themselves require sources of power often in the form of a portable
generator, which generates noise and odor, which without control may be incompatible with
nearby residences, schools, or business activities. The use is largely an outdoor use with regard
to dining and patron congregation, lawn games, and often an emphasis on outdoor
entertainment, including live or amplified music. If not properly located and regulated, the use
could quickly take on a party or amusement park atmosphere, which would be clearly
incompatible with surrounding residential uses or other business operations.
In my professional planning opinion, a “Food Truck Park” is not a permitted use contemplated in
the Collier County LDC, nor does it meet the standards for the Hearing Examiner to determine
that the use is a comparable land use to other uses permitted in the C-2 and C-3 Zoning Districts
and commercial components a PUD. Without specific limitations, guidelines, and standards for
a “Food Truck Park”, this use cannot be determined to have no impact on neighboring properties
with regard to noise, glare, or odor, nor would it be compatible in all instances given the location
of the County’s commercial zoning districts which in many cases are proximate to residential
uses. Further, every PUD is unique and clearly a “Food Truck Park” would not be compatible in
every commercial component of a PUD where for instance a restaurant use is allowed. Collier
County has limited the location and effectively the number of other uses in our community based
on the real and perceived impacts of that use. For instance, a convenience store with fuel pumps
is subject to a very specific set of development standards that controls location, building
architecture and signage, landscape buffers and building placement. Many other uses require a
conditional use approval which is a public hearing process to enable the public to provide input.
Given the unique nature of a “Food Truck Park” it is my professional expert opinion that a Food
Truck Park is not comparable or compatible with other permitted uses found in the C-2 and C-3
Zoning Districts and commercial components of a PUD and therefore, are not permitted uses in
12.A.3

not permitted uses in the C-2 and C-3 Zoning Districts and commercial components of a PUD.

Appellant
v APPEAL No. PL20210002121
COLLIER COUNTY, and GRIDER ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL OF
REVOCABLE TRUST, OFFICIAL INTERPRETATION
Appellees PL20210000943
GRIDER REVOCABLE TRUST’S MOTION TO DISMISS APPEAL OF
OFFICIAL INTERPRETATION FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Grider Revocable Living Trust (the “Trust”), by and through undersigned counsel, moves
the Board of Zoning Appeals (the “BZA”) to dismiss Appeal No. 20210002121 by FCC Beach
and Yacht, LLC (“FCC”) of Official Interpretation (OI) PL20210000943 1 because the BZA has
transferred all jurisdiction for the appeal to the Collier County Hearing Examiner (“HEX”), and in
support states:
1. The Trust owns property zoned C-3 for which it has obtained an approved site and
development plan (SDP) to allow a Food Truck Park. In issuing the SDP, staff determined a Food
Truck Park is an “eating place” that is a permitted use under Land Development Code (LDC)
§ 2.03.03.C.1.a.31.
2. FCC filed a request for Official Interpretation of the LDC, PL20210000943,
seeking to establish that (1) a Food Truck Park is not an eating place that is a permitted use under
Land Development Code (LDC) § 2.03.03.C.1.a.31, and (2) that a Food Truck Park could not
obtain a “comparable use determination” to be allowed in the C-2 or C-3 zone districts. FCC asks
1 Should the Trust’s appeal of OI PL20210000943 not be resolved by stipulation of the parties, the motion
would apply to that proceeding as well.
12.A.4
Packet Pg. 303 Attachment: Motion to Dismiss OI Appeal - Jurisdiction 10-1-21 (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
2
the BZA to apply that determination retroactively to the Trust’s Food Truck application and,
effectively, deny and prohibit the Trust from using its property for that purpose.
3. The BZA’s authority over administrative appeals appears in Code of Laws and
Ordinances (the “Code”) §§ 2-1171 and 250-58, in LDC §§ 1.06.01.D.6 (for appeals of Official
Interpretation) and 10.04.04 (for Type III administrative appeals), and under Chapter 1.C.3 of the
Administrative Code, which allows the BZA to make final decisions on appeals.
4. More specifically, LDC § 1.06.01.D.6 specifically provides that appeals of an
Official Interpretation are to the Board of Zoning Appeals. However, amendments to the Code
transferred the BZA’s authority over administrative appeals, including Official
Interpretations, to the Office of the Hearing Examiner.
5. In 2013, the Board of County Commissioners (“BCC”) adopted Ordinance 2013-
25, creating the Office of the Hearing Examiner and establishing its duties. Pursuant to Code § 2-
87.1, “All type III appeals of administrative decisions or interpretations, as set forth in LDC
Section 10.04.04, shall be heard by the Hearing Examiner.” In addition, the BCC adopted Code
§ 2-87.6, which states in part:
All powers and duties expressly granted to the Hearing Examiner, either by
this ordinance or through future resolutions, preempt the Collier County
Planning Commission, or the Board of Zoning Appeals, as the case may be, with
respect to the established procedures set forth in the Collier County Land
Development Code.
(Emphasis added).
6. The Collier County “Administrative Code for Land Development” is adopted and
amended by Resolution of the BCC. Chapter 9 of the Administrative Code covers the jurisdiction
and procedures of the Hearing Examiner. The subsection titled “Assignment” states:
12.A.4
Packet Pg. 304 Attachment: Motion to Dismiss OI Appeal - Jurisdiction 10-1-21 (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)

Once the application is submitted to the County and deemed complete pursuant to
Chapter 1 through 7 of the Administrative Code, as applicable, the following
petitions shall be assigned to the Hearing Examiner:
. . .
3. Appeal of an Official Interpretation of the LDC.
(Emphasis added).
7. FCC’s appeal of the OI is preempted to the Hearing Examiner by Code § 2-87.6
and the Administrative Code, and the BZA lacks any jurisdiction over the appeal.
WHEREFORE, the Grider Revocable Trust demands the BZA find it lacks jurisdiction
over Appeal PL20210002121 and remand it to the Hearing Examiner.

____________________________________/
RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO GRIDER REVOCABLE TRUST’S MOTION TO
DISMISS APPEAL OF OFFICIAL INTERPRETATION FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Appellant FCC Beach & Yacht Club, LLC (“FCC”) responds in opposition to the Motion to
Dismiss Appeal of Official Interpretation for Lack of Jurisdiction (“Motion”) filed by Opponent
Grider Revocable Trust (the “Trust”), stating as follows:
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS TO DENY THE MOTION
At issue in the Trust’s Motion is whether the BZA can exercise jurisdiction over appeals from
official interpretations where provisions in the Administrative Code also allow the applicant to appeal
to the Hearing Examiner. The Trust argues that these Administrative Code provisions preempt the
BZA’s jurisdiction and that this appeal must be remanded to the Hearing Examiner. The Trust’s
argument fails for the following reasons: (1) LDC § 1.06.01.D. expressly delegates the authority to
hear appeals from official interpretations to the BZA; (2) the Administrative Code offers the applicant
the option to appeal to the BZA or the Hearing Examiner, but does not require the applicant to do so;
12.A.5
Packet Pg. 307 Attachment: Response to Motion to Dismiss OI Appeal re Jurisdiction (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
2
and (3) Code § 2-87.6, dealing with preemption of powers and duties to the Hearing Examiner, does
not apply to authority subsequently granted to the BZA.
BACKGROUND
1. On June 15, 2021, pursuant to the procedures set forth in section 1.06.01.D. of the
Land Development Code (“LDC”), FCC filed a Request for Official Interpretation to confirm that:
(1) a food truck park is not a permitted use within the C-3 Zoning District, unless it is it is specifically
identified as a permitted use, and (2) a food truck park cannot be “deemed” (or “treated”) as a
permitted use within the C-3 Zoning District, unless a comparable use determination is made.
2. On August 4, 2021, the Zoning Director issued INTP-2021-PL-0943 (the “Official
Interpretation”), which determined that a food truck park is comparable to a restaurant and therefore
a permitted use in all zoning districts that permit restaurants. In rendering his Official Interpretation,
the Zoning Director relied upon a comparable use determination issued by the Hearing Examiner in
2016 for a parcel of property located in the Bayshore Mixed-Use Overlay District Neighborhood
Commercial Subdistrict (C-4 BMUDNC). The Zoning Director determined that this comparable use
determination, HEX No. 2016-37, is to be applied County-wide in all commercial districts.
3. FCC appealed the Official Interpretation to the Board of Zoning Appeals (the “BZA”)
as set forth in LDC § 1.06.01.D.6. The Trust filed its Motion arguing that the BZA lacks jurisdiction
because authority over appeals of official interpretations is preempted to the Hearing Examiner by
section 2-87.6 of the Code of Laws (“Code”). The Trust’s argument lacks merit and the Motion
should be denied for the reasons detailed below.
LEGAL ARGUMENT
4. The Code delineates the authority of both the BZA and the Hearing Examiner. Among
the powers of the BZA is the duty to “hear, review, and approve, approve with conditions, or deny
12.A.5
Packet Pg. 308 Attachment: Response to Motion to Dismiss OI Appeal re Jurisdiction (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
3
appeals from interpretations made by the County Manager or designee pertaining to the Collier
County GMP, the future land use map, the LDC, or the official zoning atlas by the County Manager
or designee.” Code § 2-1171(b). The Hearing Examiner is empowered to hear “all type III appeals of
administrative decisions or interpretations, as set forth in LDC Section 10.04.04.” Code § 2-87.1.
Notably, appeals of official interpretations are not included in the list of type III appeals set forth in
LDC § 10.04.04.
5. Consistent with Code § 2-1171(b), the LDC sets forth the process for appealing a
written official interpretation. Pursuant to LDC § 1.06.01, within 30 days of receiving the written
official interpretation, the applicant, affected property owner, or aggrieved or adversely affected party
“may appeal the interpretation to the Building Board of Adjustments and Appeals for matters relating
to building and technical codes as shown in LDC section 1.07.00 or to the Board of Zoning Appeals
for all other matters in the LDC.” LDC § 1.06.01.D.6.a. (emphasis added).
6. The Trust admits that LDC § 1.06.01 provides for appeals of official interpretations to
be made to the BZA, but argues that “amendments to the Code transferred the BZA’s authority over
administrative appeals, including Official Interpretations, to the Office of the Hearing Examiner.”
Motion ¶ 4. The amendment the Trust refers to is Ordinance No. 2013-25, creating the Hearing
Examiner and establishing its powers and duties. Motion ¶ 5. The Trust fails to mention that
Ordinance 2013-25 was enacted – and the Hearing Examiner created – prior to the adoption of LDC
§ 1.06.01.
7. Shortly after the County enacted Ordinance No. 2013-25 and created the Hearing
Examiner, it adopted Ordinance Nos. 2013-56 and 2013-57. The latter ordinance establishes the
Administrative Code for Land Development (“Administrative Code”), while the former codifies LDC
amendments that correspond to the Administrative Code. Ordinance No. 2013-56 included the
12.A.5
Packet Pg. 309 Attachment: Response to Motion to Dismiss OI Appeal re Jurisdiction (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
4
addition of LDC § 1.06.01.D, which outlines the process for requesting an official interpretation, as
well as the process for appealing an official interpretation, clearly providing that the appeal is to the
BZA and that the BZA holds a public hearing to consider the appeal.
8. The Administrative Code, as originally adopted by Ordinance No. 2013-56, deals with
appeals of official interpretations in two places. Administrative Code § 4.G. details the process of
requesting an official interpretation and provides that “an official interpretation may be appealed to
the BZA by the applicant, affected property owner, aggrieved, or adversely affected party within 30
days.” Administrative Code § 3.A. provides a process that “allows an applicant to appeal an Official
Interpretation to the Hearing Examiner.” (emphasis added). Notably, Administrative Code § 3.A. does
not apply to affected property owners or aggrieved or adversely affected parties. Chapter 9 of the
Administrative Code goes on to list matters that are assigned to the Hearing Examiner and states that
“[o]nce the application is submitted to the County and deemed complete pursuant to Chapters 1
through 7 of the Administrative Code, as applicable, the following petitions shall be assigned to the
Hearing Examiner: . . . (3) Appeal of an Official Interpretation of the LDC.”
9. The Trust argues that the BZA is preempted from exercising jurisdiction over appeals
from official interpretations because Administrative Code § 3.A. and chapter 9 allegedly transfer that
authority to the Hearing Examiner. Motion ¶ 6. The Trust’s argument relies on the following language
from Ordinance 2013-25, which is now Code § 2-87.6:
To the extent authorized by law, by Resolution of the Board of
County Commissioners, the Hearing Examiner may be assigned any
and all other powers and duties that have previously been granted to
the Collier County Planning Commission or the Board of Zoning
Appeals, expressly excepting those powers reserved to the Collier
County Planning Commission as the local planning agency (LPA),
and land development regulation commission as required by F.S. §§
163.3174 and 163.3194. All powers and duties expressly granted to
the Hearing Examiner, either by this ordinance or through future
resolutions, preempt the Collier County Planning Commission, or the
12.A.5
Packet Pg. 310 Attachment: Response to Motion to Dismiss OI Appeal re Jurisdiction (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
5
Board of Zoning Appeals, as the case may be, with respect to the
established procedures set forth in the Collier County Land
Development Code.
(emphasis added).1 The Trust is incorrect for two reasons: (1) the Trust’s argument requires the BZA
to read the Administrative Code in a manner that renders it both internally inconsistent and
inconsistent with concurrently-adopted provisions of the LDC; and (2) by its plain language, Code
§ 2-87.6 only preempts jurisdiction over the BZA’s powers and duties that existed at the time the
Hearing Examiner was created.
10. The Trust’s suggested interpretation renders Administrative Code § 3.A and chapter 9
inconsistent with both Administrative Code § 4.G and with LDC § 1.06.01.D.2 Contrary to the Trust’s
selective interpretation, these provisions must be read in harmony and each given effect. When doing
so, it is clear from the plain text that the Administrative Code does not transfer authority to the Hearing
Examiner, but rather gives the applicant the choice of appealing to either the BZA or the Hearing
Examiner. Chapter 9 can then be read to state that if an applicant chooses the Hearing Examiner, once
the application is submitted and deemed complete it will be assigned to the Hearing Examiner. To
read it otherwise, renders the Administrative Code both internally inconsistent and inconsistent with
the LDC. See Dept. of Highway Safety v. Chakrin, 304 So. 3d 822 (Fla. 2d DCA 2020) (courts must
give effect to all provisions and construe related provisions in harmony with one another); Brown v.
Saint City Church of God, 717 So. 2d 557 (Fla. 3d. DCA 1998) (rules of statutory construction “apply
with equal force and effect to the construction of local ordinances”).
1 As a threshold matter, the Trust’s argument is dependent upon the Administrative Code being
a resolution of the Board of County Commissioners. While the Motion alleges that the
Administrative Code “is adopted and amended by Resolution of the BCC,” Ordinance No. 2013-57
is clearly an ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners.
2 It is worth noting that by its own terms the Administrative Code yields to the LDC in the event
of a conflict. Administrative Code § 1.B.2.
12.A.5
Packet Pg. 311 Attachment: Response to Motion to Dismiss OI Appeal re Jurisdiction (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
6
11. Even if the Trust’s interpretation were reasonable (and it is not), by its plain language
Code § 2-87.6 only permits assignment of “all other powers and duties that have previously been
granted to the Collier County Planning Commission or the Board of Zoning Appeals” and only
preempts jurisdiction “with respect to the established procedures set forth in the Collier County
Land Development Code.” (emphasis added). Code § 2-87.6 was enacted as part of the creation of
the Hearing Examiner under Ordinance No. 2013-25. The BZA was not granted the explicit authority
over appeals of official interpretations by the process established in LDC § 1.06.01.D until the later
adoption of Ordinance No. 2013-56. Put simply, Code § 2-87.6 does not apply to LDC § 1.06.01.D.
12. The BZA has jurisdiction over appeals from official interpretations. That jurisdiction
is set forth in Code § 2-1171(b), LDC § 1.06.01, and Administrative Code § 4.G. The BZA is not
divested of jurisdiction by virtue of the Administrative Code providing the applicant with the optional
flexibility to appeal to the Hearing Examiner if the applicant chooses to do so; particularly where, as
here, the applicant has not chosen to do so. The Trust’s Motion lacks merit and this appeal should
remain with the BZA as elected by the applicant.
CONCLUSION
WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, FCC requests that the BZA deny the Trust’s Motion
and decline the Trust’s request to remand this appeal to the Hearing Examiner.

COLLIER COUNTY, and GRIDER ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL OF
REVOCABLE TRUST, SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Appellees PL20200001903
GRIDER REVOCABLE TRUST’S MOTION TO DISMISS
FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Grider Revocable Living Trust (the “Trust”), by and through undersigned counsel, moves
the Board of Zoning Appeals (the “BZA”) to dismiss Appeal No. 20210001944 by FCC Beach
and Yacht, LLC (“FCC”) of Site Development Plan (SDP) PL20200001903 because the BZA has
transferred all jurisdiction for the appeal to the Collier County Hearing Examiner (“HEX”), and
states:
1. The Trust is the applicant for SDP PL20200001903. FCC is appealing the
Development Review Division’s approval of that application.
2. FCC’s appeal of the SDP is an “administrative appeal” – that is, an appeal of a
decision, determination or interpretation of the County’s Land Development Code (“LDC”) by the
Development Review Division, who has been delegated authority by the County Manager.
3. The BZA’s authority over administrative appeals appears in Code of Laws and
Ordinances (the “Code”) §§ 2-1171 and 250-58, in LDC §§ 1.06.01.D.6 (for appeals of Official
Interpretation) and 10.04.04 (for Type III administrative appeals), and under Chapter 1.C.3 of the
Administrative Code, which allows the BZA to make final decisions on appeals. However,
12.A.6
Packet Pg. 314 Attachment: Motion to Dismiss SDP Appeal - Jurisdiction 10-1-21 (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
2
amendments to the Code transferred the BZA’s authority over administrative appeals to the
Hearing Examiner.
4. In 2013, the Board of County Commissioners (“BCC”) adopted Ordinance 2013-
25, creating the Office of the Hearing Examiner and establishing its duties. Pursuant to Code § 2-
87.1, “All type III appeals of administrative decisions or interpretations, as set forth in LDC
Section 10.04.04, shall be heard by the Hearing Examiner.” (Emphasis added). In addition, the
BCC adopted Code § 2-87.6, which states in part:
All powers and duties expressly granted to the Hearing Examiner, either by
this ordinance or through future resolutions, preempt the Collier County
Planning Commission, or the Board of Zoning Appeals, as the case may be, with
respect to the established procedures set forth in the Collier County Land
Development Code.
(Emphasis added).
5. This grant of authority is ratified in LDC § 8.10.00.A, which states “The Board of
County Commissioners established the office of the Hearing Examiner by County Ord. No. 2013-
25, as it may be amended from time to time, with the powers and duties set forth therein.”
(Emphasis added).
6. LDC § 10.04.04 states:
Applications subject to Type III Review:
The following applications are subject to Type III review: Variances;
Administrative Appeals; Certificates of Appropriateness; conditional uses;
nonconforming Use Amendments; Vested Rights; flood Variances; Parking
Agreements.
(Emphasis added).
7. The Collier County “Land Use Administrative Code” is adopted and amended by
Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners. Chapter 9 of the Administrative Code covers
the jurisdiction and procedures of the Hearing Examiner. The subsection for “Assignment” states:
12.A.6
Packet Pg. 315 Attachment: Motion to Dismiss SDP Appeal - Jurisdiction 10-1-21 (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
3
Once the application is submitted to the County and deemed complete pursuant to
Chapter 1 through 7 of the Administrative Code, as applicable, the following
petitions shall be assigned to the Hearing Examiner:
1. Administrative Type III Appeal.”
(Emphasis added).
8. FCC’s appeal of the SDP approval is a Type III administrative appeal, expressly
assigned to the Hearing Examiner by Code § 2-87.1 and then expressly preempted pursuant to
Code § 2-87.6 and the Administrative Code. Any authority of the BZA over an administrative
appeal of an SDP has been expressly preempted, and the BZA lacks any jurisdiction over the
appeal.
WHEREFORE, the Grider Revocable Trust demands the BZA find it lacks jurisdiction
over an appeal of a site development plan and remand Appeal PL20210001944 to the Hearing
Examiner.

RESPONSE TO GRIDER REVOCABLE TRUST’S
MOTION TO DISMISS FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Appellant FCC Beach & Yacht Club, LLC (“FCC”) responds to the Motion to Dismiss
Appeal for Lack of Jurisdiction (“Motion”) filed by Opponent Grider Revocable Trust (the
“Trust”), stating as follows:
BACKGROUND
1. On July 29, 2021, Grider Revocable Trust (the “Trust”), applied and was granted
approval of a site and development plan (PL20200001903) (the “SDP”) allowing for development
of a food truck park on its property located on the Isles of Capri (the “Food Truck Park & Bar”).
The Food Truck Park & Bar would serve food and alcohol to be consumed by patrons at outdoor
seating, in the open field areas identified on the SDP, and/or at an outdoor bar and dance floor and
surrounding areas.
2. As a nearby property owner aggrieved by the SDP approval, FCC filed an appeal
to the Board of Zoning Appeals (“BZA”) pursuant to the process provided in section 250-58 of the
12.A.7
Packet Pg. 318 Attachment: Response to Motion to Dismiss SDP Appeal re Jurisdiction (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
2
Code of Laws (“Code”). The Trust filed its Motion arguing that the BZA lacks jurisdiction and
requesting that the appeal be remanded to the Hearing Examiner. FCC does not object to the BZA
remanding this appeal to the Hearing Examiner. Rather, FCC files this response to clarify that,
should the BZA choose to remand, Code § 250-59, requiring a stay of all proceedings and work
on the premises, continues to apply throughout the pendency of the appeal.
LEGAL ARGUMENT
3. The Code delineates the authority of both the BZA and the Hearing Examiner.
Among the powers of the BZA is the duty to “hear and decide administrative appeals where it is
alleged there is error in any order, requirement, decision, interpretation or determination made by
an administrative official in the enforcement of any zoning ordinance or regulation.” Code § 250-
56(a). In furtherance of this authority, Code § 250-58 provides a process by which aggrieved
persons may appeal administrative decisions and determinations to the BZA. Separately, the
Hearing Examiner is empowered to hear “all type III appeals of administrative decisions or
interpretations, as set forth in LDC Section 10.04.04.” Code § 2-87.1.
4. The Trust argues that – despite Code § 250-56(a) and § 250-58 clearly delegating
authority over administrative appeals to the BZA – the BZA is preempted from exercising
jurisdiction because amendments to the Code transferred authority over administrative appeals to
the Hearing Examiner. Motion ¶ 3. The Trust’s argument relies on the following language from
Ordinance 2013-25, which is now Code § 2-87.6:
To the extent authorized by law, by Resolution of the Board of
County Commissioners, the Hearing Examiner may be assigned
any and all other powers and duties that have previously been
granted to the Collier County Planning Commission or the Board
of Zoning Appeals, expressly excepting those powers reserved to
the Collier County Planning Commission as the local planning
agency (LPA), and land development regulation commission as
required by F.S. §§ 163.3174 and 163.3194. All powers and duties
12.A.7
Packet Pg. 319 Attachment: Response to Motion to Dismiss SDP Appeal re Jurisdiction (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
3
expressly granted to the Hearing Examiner, either by this
ordinance or through future resolutions, preempt the Collier
County Planning Commission, or the Board of Zoning Appeals, as
the case may be, with respect to the established procedures set forth
in the Collier County Land Development Code.
6. For administrative appeals, Code § 250-59 provides that, “[w]hen an appeal from
the decision of any administrative official has been filed with the administrative official, all
proceedings and work on the premises concerning which the decision was made shall be stayed.”
Code § 250-59 is very clear that an administrative appeal results in the administrative approval
being stayed until the appeal is resolved. Accordingly, should the BZA elect to remand the appeal
to the Hearing Examiner, the SDP and any further action on the SDP shall be stayed.
7. FCC declines to take a position on the Trust’s jurisdictional argument. However, in
the event the BZA chooses to grant the Motion and remand this appeal to the Hearing Examiner,
FCC requests that the BZA’s order expressly acknowledge the applicability of Code § 250-59 to
this appeal. Code § 250-59 is unaffected by the adoption of Code § 2-87.6 and continues to apply
regardless of who claims jurisdiction over this matter.
CONCLUSION
WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, in the event the BZA chooses to grant the Trust’s
Motion and remand this appeal to the Hearing Examiner, FCC requests that the BZA’s remand
order expressly state that Code § 250-59 applies to this appeal.

BEFORE THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA
FCC BEACH AND YACHT, LLC,
Appellant
v APPEAL No. PL20210001944
COLLIER COUNTY, and GRIDER ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL OF
REVOCABLE TRUST, SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Appellees PL20200001903
GRIDER REVOCABLE TRUST’S MOTION TO LIMIT RETROACTIVE
APPLICATION OF ORDINANCE 2020-44 AND ANY DECISION ON
FCC’S APPEAL OF OI PL20210000943
Grider Revocable Living Trust (the “Trust”), by and through undersigned counsel, m oves
the Board of Zoning Appeals (the “BZA”) to limit the scope of issues related to Appeal No.
20210001944 by FCC Beach and Yacht, LLC (“FCC”) of Site Development Plan (SDP)
PL20200001903, because as a matter of law, under the undisputed facts, (a) the Trust’s
Zoning Verification Letter ZLTR-PL20200001955 (the “Trust Zoning Verification”) issued
on October 26, 2020, is a binding and valid determination that a Food Truck Park is a
permitted use, and (b) the BZA cannot retroactively apply FCC’s or its Appeal of OI
PL20210000943 to the SDP approval for the Trust’s Food Truck Park. In support, the Trust
states as follows:
1. The Trust is the applicant for SDP-PL20200001903 (the “Trust Site Plan”). The
Trust held a pre application meeting with Staff on the SDP application on September 30, 2020 ,
which created file and application SDP-PL20200001903. The Trust filed the formal application
documents on January 28, 2021. The SDP was approved on July 29, 2021. A copy of the approval
letter is attached as Exhibit 1. FCC then appealed that approval, asserting one claim: that the Trust
12.A.8
Packet Pg. 322 Attachment: Motion to Limit Issues of SDP Appeal - 10-4-21 (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
2
was required to undergo the “comparable use” process contained in Collier County Land
Development Code (“LDC”) § 10.02.06.K.
2. The Trust applied for a Zoning Verification Letter on September 30, 2020. The
ZVL was issued on October 20, 2020, as ZLTR-PL20200001955 (the “Trust Zoning
Verification”), confirming that a food truck establishment is permitted by right in the C-3 zone
district as an “eating place” per “Standard Industrial Code” (“SIC”) Code 5812. A copy of the
ZVL approval is attached as Exhibit 2. No one appealed ZLTR-PL20200001955.
3. For the Zoning Verification, the Trust used the established method required by LDC
§ 10.02.06(J) for a property owner to have the County determine whether a particular use is a
permitted use and, the process required by LDC § 2.03.00 to determine if a use that is not permitted
is allowed as a “comparable use.” When the Trust Zoning Verification was issued and not
appealed, it became a binding determination of the Trust’s right to a Food Truck Park on
the Trust’s Property pursuant to LDC § 10.02.06(J)(1)(a)(i), without any need for a
comparable use determination.
4. The question of whether the Food Truck Park required a comparable use
determination was raised during a Staff review of the Trust Site Plan. In a May 7, 2021, letter
Anita Jenkins, the Division Director of the Planning and Zoning Division (the “Jenkins
Letter”), expressly confirmed that, pursuant to the Trust Zoning Verification and prior
decisions of the County, food trucks are an “eating place” set out in SIC Code 5812 and
permitted in the C-3 zone district with no requirement for any comparable use
determination. A copy of the Jenkins Letter is attached as Exhibit 3. Ms. Ashton-Cicko reviewed
and approved the Jenkins Letter and it was then copied to both Mr. Klatzkow and Ms. Ashton -
Cicko. See Exhibit 4.
12.A.8
Packet Pg. 323 Attachment: Motion to Limit Issues of SDP Appeal - 10-4-21 (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
3
5. On November 10, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance
2020-44 and Resolution 2020-203. Ordinance 2020-44 amended LDC § 2.03.00 to make
“comparable use” determinations through a new process the Ordinance established as LDC
§ 10.02.06.K. Ordinance 2020-44 also amended the “comparable use” provisions in the C-3 zone
district (and other districts) to reference LDC § 10.02.06.K. Ordinance 2020-44 became effective
on November 17, 2020, when it was filed with the Florida Secretary of State.
6. Resolution 2020-203 amended the Administrative Code for Land Development to
convert an existing procedure for determining comparable uses in a PUD into the general
“comparable use determination” called for by new LDC § 10.02.06.K.
7. Critically, nothing in the language of Ordinance 2020-44 or Resolution 2020-
203 states any intent to apply the newly adopted provisions related to “comparable use
determinations” to operate retroactively or invalidate previous determinations made in
Zoning Verification Letters or other development orders. A statute or ordinance is presumed
to operate prospectively absent language that clearly establishes that it is to apply
retroactively. Metro. Dade County v. Chase Fed. Hous. Corp., 737 So. 2d 494, 499 (Fla. 1999).
8. On April 15, 2021, FCC filed its request for an Official Interpretation seeking a
determination that (1) food truck parks are not a permitted use in the C-3 zone district, and (2)
food truck parks cannot be approved through the comparable use process. The County issued OI
PL20210000943 on August 4, 2021, rejecting both of FCC’s assertions. FCC then appealed that
determination, arguing both that Food Truck Park is not an “eating place” permitted in the C -3
zone district, and that a Food Truck Park cannot be the subject of a comparable use determination.
FCC contends the BZA determination on its appeal of the OI should app ly retroactively to the
Trust Property and the prior approval of the Trust Site Plan at issue in this appeal.
12.A.8
Packet Pg. 324 Attachment: Motion to Limit Issues of SDP Appeal - 10-4-21 (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
4
9. Together, FCC’s two appeals are an after-the-fact, collateral attack on the Trust’s
ZVL, despite its failure to appeal the ZVL. FCC’s appeals not only seek to hold that a Food Truck
Park is not an “eating place” permitted under LDC § 2.03.03.C.1.a(30), but also demand a Food
Truck Park cannot be approved as a “comparable use” under LDC § 2.03.03.C.1.a(30). If the BZA
grants FCC’s appeal of the OI, every prior staff approval of a Food Truck or Food Truck Park will
be affected, even though those approvals were never appealed. FCC demands the BZA overturn
those historical staff decisions - which were reviewed by the Office of the County Attorney - and
now retroactively render all of those previously approved uses either illegal or non-conforming.
10. Nothing in the provisions governing official interpretations supports or permits
using the OI process to achieve such a result. Nothing in the language of Ordinance 2022-44
compels or allows that result. Therefore, even if the BZA were to grant FCC’s appeal of OI
PL20210000943, that decision must be limited to apply prospectively, and cannot be retroactively
applied to the Trust’s ZVL and SDP, or to any other previously approved food truck park.
11. In addition, FCC seeks to use the OI process in an unprecedented and impermissible
manner: to foreclose the “comparable use” process for a Food Truck Park, even though no such
application has been made, and even though that use has already been the subject of a valid,
12. In sum:
a. As a matter of law, the Trust Zoning Verification’s determination that a Food
Truck Park is an “eating place” (SIC 5812) permitted in the C-3 zone district for the Trust’s
Property is a valid and binding determination for the Trust’s Property.
b. As a matter of law, the later adoption of Ordinance 2020-44 and Resolution
2020-203 does not invalidate the Trust Zoning Verification and its determination that a
12.A.8
Packet Pg. 325 Attachment: Motion to Limit Issues of SDP Appeal - 10-4-21 (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
5
Food Truck Park is an “eating place” (SIC 5812) permitted in the C-3 zone district for the
Trust’s Property.
c. As a matter of law, because Ordinance 2020-44 contains no language applying
it retroactively, as a matter of law, FCC’s request for an Official Interpretation cannot be
applied retroactively to the Trust’s SDP Application, or to other Food Truck Parks, even if
the BZA were to grant FCC’s appeal.
WHEREFORE, the Grider Revocable Trust demands the BZA enter an order governing
these proceedings and determining:
1) The Trust Zoning Verification’s determination that the Food Truck Park is a permitted use,
rather than comparable use, was not appealed and is a binding determination that a Food
Truck Park is a permitted use on the Trust Property.
2) The Trust Zoning Verification is not invalidated by Ordinance 2020-44 or Resolution
2020-203.
3) Even if the BZA were to grant FCC’s Appeal of the Official Interpretation, it cannot apply
any such decision retroactively to the Trust’s SDP Application, or to other prior Food Truck
approvals.

Ms. Harrelson,
This letter is in response to a Zoning Verification Letter (ZLTR) Application that you submitted on or
about September 30th, 2020. The applicant has requested verification of the questions listed below in bold
print, which are followed by Staff’s responses.
Questions:
1. Is the described “food truck Park” permitted on the subject properties (with and without a
bar)?
According to the official zoning map the subject properties are located within the Commercial
Intermediate (C-3) zoning district. This district permits restaurants/food truck establishments (SIC
code 5812) by right but requires a conditional use for a bar/drinking establishment (SIC code 5813).
Since the food trucks are privately owned and will be separate from the drinking establishment,
they will be permitted by right, but the bar use will require a separate conditional use approval.
2. What is the required parking calculation for the proposed “food truck park” at the subject
location (with and without a bar)?
The required parking will be as follows:
Restaurant/food truck areas: 1 space per 200 sq. ft. of non-public use area plus 1 space per 2 seats
Bar area: 1 per 50 sq. ft. plus 1 per 75 sq. ft. for any outdoor eating/drinking areas
3. Can boat docks count towards meeting required parking spaces, if the docks are not leased
or used for any other purpose?
Yes, Credit for boat slip parking is allowed where the slips have all necessary permits and are
located on navigable waterways, using the formula 1 boat slip = 1 vehicle space, provided that each
and all boat slips credited shall not be leased or rented for boat storage or utilized for any purpose
other than customers frequenting said restaurant.
The information presented in this verification letter is based on the Collier County LDC and/or Growth
Management Plan in effect as of this date. It is possible that subsequent amendment(s) to either of these
documents could affect the validity of this verification letter. It is also possible that development of the
subject property could be affected by other issues not addressed in this letter, such as, but not limited to,

Disclaimer: Issuance of a development permit by the County does not create any rights on the part of the
applicant to obtain a permit from a state or federal agency and does not create any liability on the part of
the county for issuance of the permit if the applicant fails to obtain requisite approvals or fulfill the
obligations imposed by a state or federal agency or undertakes actions that result in a violation of state or
federal law. All other applicable state or federal permits must be obtained before commencement of the
development.

Re: SDP Application PL202000001903 - Isle of Capri Food Truck Park
Dear Noel:
Thank you for your letter dated April 8, 2021. We have reviewed the pertinent materials
provided, including the Hearing Examiner Decision 2016-37, the Daruma Site Improvement
Plan, a Zoning Verification Letter dated December 6, 2019, along with SIC Code 5812 (Eating
Places), the more contemporary NAICS, and the standards for licensing of food trucks in
Florida.
SIC 5812 includes hamburger, hot dog, box lunch, and ice cream stands, fast food restaurants
and stands, and carry-out only restaurants. As referenced in the Zoning Verification Letter dated
December 6, 2019, the SIC classification system used in the Collier County Land Development
Code is older and does not always address the changing trends of business. In fact, the SIC
has not been updated since 1987 and can, at times, be less than sufficient in identifying and
categorizing new businesses in our community, such as the increasingly popular food truck
business. For this reason, when necessary, it is useful in our determinations to review and
consider the more contemporary NAICS to identify the categorization of similar uses. Therefore,
when we “cross-walk” the SIC code 5812 (Eating Places), we go to NAICS 72 (Accommodation
and Food Services). This category includes eating establishments identified in SIC 5812, and
recognizes “food stands” today can be mobile and provides for establishments primarily
engaged in preparing and serving meals and snacks for immediate consumption from motorized
vehicles or nonmotorized carts, including Ice cream truck vendors, Mobile food concession
stands, Mobile canteens, Mobile refreshment stands, Mobile food carts, and Mobile snack
stands.
Furthermore, we recognize the Florida Division of Hotels and Restaurants license and regulate
eating establishments, including mobile food dispensing vehicles (MFDVs).
Based on Collier County’s history of findings that food trucks are similar in nature to other eating
places in SIC 5812, the additional information provided and reviewed supplements the ZVL
issued for PL20200001955 and affirms the request for a Comparable Use Determination for
food trucks is resolved and is not required as part of the Site Development Plan
PL20200001903 for this use. In C-3 zoning an eating place/food truck park is limited to 6,000
12.A.8
Packet Pg. 381 Attachment: Motion to Limit Issues of SDP Appeal - 10-4-21 (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
2
square feet or less in gross floor area. The related ZVL still stands on drinking establishments;
they are SIC Code 5813 requiring a conditional use in C-3 zoning districts.

Anita,
I have no issues with your letter. It is reasonable in light of the other zoning verification letters approving food trucks in
areas allowing SIC Code 5812. You might want to state that your letter supplements the ZVL issued for PL20200001955,
and that that ZVL still stands-since the bar drinking establishment is another SIC Code requiring a conditional use. Please
call me if you’d like to discuss further. Thanks.

BEFORE THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA
FCC BEACH AND YACHT, LLC,
Appellant,
APPEAL No. PL20210001944
ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL
OF SITE DEVELOPMENT
PLAN PL20200001903
v.
COLLIER COUNTY and GRIDER REVOCABLE
TRUST,
Appellees.
RESPONSE TO GRIDER REVOCABLE TRUST’S MOTION TO LIMIT
RETROACTIVE APPLICATION OF ORDINANCE 2020-44 AND ANY DECISION
ON FCC’S APPEAL OF OI PL 20210000943 AND
CROSS-MOTION TO DECLARE THE SDP VOID AB INITIO
The Grider Revocable Trust (“Trust”) wants to operate a food truck park and bar on
property located within a zoning district that does not provide for that use (i.e., the C-3 Zoning
District). Instead of seeking a comparable use determination, the Trust obtained an unsigned
Zoning Verification Letter (“ZVL”), which forms the basis for the Site Development Plan (“SDP”)
underlying this appeal. In its appeal, FCC Beach and Yacht, LLC (“FCC”) identified numerous
grounds for reversing the SDP approval. In an attempt to defend the SDP approval, the Trust
moved for a determination that the ZVL is binding, that Ordinance 2020-44 and Resolution 2020-
203 cannot be applied retroactively to invalidate the ZVL, and that the Official Interpretation
cannot apply to the SDP approval as a matter of procedure. The Trust’s requested relief must be
denied because: (1) the ZVL is not binding because it was not approved in accordance with the
mandatory procedure in place at the time of its issuance; (2) regardless of whether the new
procedure is applied retroactively, or the procedure effective at that time is utilized, the ZVL is
12.A.9
Packet Pg. 385 Attachment: Response to Motion to Limit Retroactive Application and Cross-Motion (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
2
void ab initio for failure to comply; and (3) the same rationale for the Official Interpretation
supports reversing the SDP approval regardless of any procedural formalities.
I. FCC’s Appeal is Not Dependent Upon Retroactive Application of Ordinance
2020-44; the LDC Provisions in Effect on the Date of the Unsigned ZVL
Demonstrate the SDP is Void Ab Initio.
LDC section 10.02.06.K governs the comparable use process in effect at the time the SDP
application was submitted to, and approved by, the County. The Trust claims that LDC section
10.02.06.K should not be applied retroactively to the ZVL because the language of Ordinance
2020-44 and Resolution 2020-203 does not expressly state such an intent. See Motion, ¶ 7.
Respectfully, the County, as the author of that provision, has the authority to determine whether it
was intended to apply retroactively. See Donovan v. Okaloosa County, 82 So. 3d 801, 807 (Fla.
2012) (holding that a county’s interpretation of its own ordinance is entitled to deference).
Regardless, the comparable use procedure in place at the time of the unsigned ZVL (i.e., LDC
section 10.08.00)1 demonstrates that a food truck park and bar is not permitted within the C-3
Zoning District, rendering the SDP void ab initio. As a general rule:
In the interpretation and application of any provision of these regulations, it shall
be held to be the minimum requirement adopted for the promotion of the public
health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare. Where any provision of
these regulations, the GMP, or any other law or regulation in effect in Collier
County, Florida, imposes greater restrictions upon the subject matter than any other
provision of these regulations, the GMP, or any other law or regulation in effect in
Collier County, Florida, the provision imposing the greater restriction or regulation
shall be deemed to be controlling.
1 If the BZA determines that LDC section 10.02.06.k does not apply, then the conditional use
process of LDC section 10.08.00 would have been required to authorize the food truck park since
that use is not expressly permitted. Alternatively, the official interpretation process could be
utilized to clarify whether “restaurant” may now be officially interpreted county-wide to include a
food truck park.
12.A.9
Packet Pg. 386 Attachment: Response to Motion to Limit Retroactive Application and Cross-Motion (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)
3
See LDC 1.03.01.D. The Trust’s argument, in essence, is that the ZVL supersedes the comparable
use procedure prescribed by the LDC and allows a food truck park on its property. For the reasons
set forth below, the Trust incorrectly applies the LDC requirements.
The Trust’s property at issue is zoned C-3. The C-3 Zoning District does not specifically
identify a food truck park and bar as a permitted use, conditional use, or accessory use. See LDC
Section 2.03.03.C. Tellingly, neither the Trust nor the County attempt to argue that a food truck
park and bar is an expressly permitted use in the C-3 Zoning District. Because that use is not
“specifically identified,” a food truck park is prohibited within the C-3 Zoning District. See LDC
Section 2.02.03 (“Prohibited Uses Any use or structure not specifically identified in a zoning
district as a permitted use, conditional use, or accessory use shall be prohibited in such zoning
district.”).2
The only way for the Trust to operate a food truck park and bar on property zoned C-3 is
through the comparable use determination procedure provided for pursuant to LDC section
2.03.03.C.1.a.96. At the time the Trust obtained the ZVL, LDC section 2.03.03.C.1.a.96 read as
follows:
The following uses, as identified with a number from the Standard Industrial
Classification Manual ( 1987), or as otherwise provided for within this section are
permissible by right, or as accessory or conditional uses within the commercial
intermediate district (C-3).
a. Permitted uses.
***
96. Any other commercial or professional use which is comparable in nature
with the (C-1) list of permitted uses and consistent with the purpose and intent
statement of the district, as determined by the board of zoning appeals,
pursuant to section 10.08.00.

See Ordinance No. 2020-44, p. 8 (identifying the language to be added to, and stricken from, LDC
section 2.03.03, effective November 17, 2020, one month after the date of the ZVL). Thus, on the
date of the unsigned ZVL, the only way to obtain a comparable use determination was through
compliance with LDC Section 10.08.00, which sets forth the “Conditional Use Procedures” and
which required Board of Zoning Appeals approval. See LDC section 10.08.00.A (the then-
operative process for determining whether a use not expressly identified is comparable, required a
noticed, public hearing through the conditional use process: “All petitions for conditional uses
shall be considered first by the Planning Commission in the manner herein set out. Decisions
regarding conditional uses shall be quasijudicial in nature.”). Similarly, at the time of the ZVL,
LDC section 2.03.03.C.1.c.27. provided that conditional uses within the C-3 Zoning District
included: “Any other intermediate commercial use which is comparable in nature with the
foregoing list of permitted uses and consistent with the permitted uses and purpose and intent
statement of the district, as determined by the board of zoning appeals pursuant to section
10.08.00.” See Ordinance 2020-44, p. 9 (identifying the language to be added to, and stricken
from, LDC section 2.03.03). There is no dispute that the Trust failed to comply with the
Conditional Use Procedures set forth in LDC section 10.08.00 prior to approval of the SDP.
Regardless, the process in place at that time limited the comparable use determination to C-1
permitted uses, which did not include restaurants 3 nor any other category within which a food
truck park and bar could fall.4 Because the Trust failed to obtain a valid conditional use
3 Rather, restaurants were only allowed through the conditional use process, which – as discussed
above – was not followed.
4 After the date of the unsigned ZVL, Ordinance 2020-44 revised this provision such that the
comparable uses are no longer limited to C-1 uses. However, the Board of Zoning Appeals is still
the board that approves the comparable use determination through the Conditional Use Procedures.

determination, the food truck park remains a prohibited use within the C-3 Zoning District and the
SDP is therefore void ab initio.
II. The ZVL is Likewise Void Ab Initio for Failure to Comply with the Procedural
Requirements.
The Trust essentially claims that it was able to circumvent the public hearing comparable
use determination by obtaining an unexecuted ZVL pursuant to LDC section 10.02.06.J. However,
as of the date of the unsigned ZVL, a zoning verification letter could only be used for comparable
use determinations pertaining to a planned unit development, and no such development is involved
here.5 See Ordinance 2020-44 at p. 24-25 (identifying the language of LDC section 10.02.06.J1.b.
at the time of the ZVL). More importantly, approval of the ZVL required a resolution issued by
the Board of County Commissioners at an advertised public hearing:6
Comparable Use Determination. The County Manager or designee may issue a
zoning verification letter to determine whether a use within a PUD is consistent and
compatible with the surrounding uses within the PUD. To be effective, the zoning
verification letter shall be approved by the BCC by resolution at an advertised
public hearing.
Because no such hearing was held, nor resolution issued, the ZVL is void ab initio. The invalidity
of the ZVL is further evidenced by the fact that it was not signed by any party.
The Trust claims that FCC cannot now challenge the invalidity of the ZVL because FCC
did not appeal it. See Motion, ¶ 3. However, FCC was denied the ability to appeal the ZVL by
the Appellees’ failure to hold the requisite advertised public hearing. Not only was FCC denied
5 Because no planned unit development was involved, the Zoning Director lacked the authority to
make a comparable use determination through the ZVL process under LDC section
10.02.06.J.1.a.i, which is the subsection relied upon by the Trust. Instead, the proper procedure
for the comparable use determination within a conventional zoning district such as C-3 was
provided for in LDC section 10.08.00, discussed above.
6 Ordinance 2020-44 similarly amended the LDC to require an advertised public hearing for each
comparable use determination pursuant to LDC section 10.02.06.K, indicating a clear intent for
public participation in such determinations.
12.A.9
Packet Pg. 389 Attachment: Response to Motion to Limit Retroactive Application and Cross-Motion (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)

notice of the ZVL, it was also denied the right to be heard. More importantly, because Appellees
failed to comply with the requisite procedure, the ZVL is neither binding nor unassailable.7
Because the ZVL is void ab initio, the SDP approval founded upon that ZVL is likewise void.
The Trust appears to claim that it was excused from the advertised public hearing
requirement by Hearing Examiner Decision 2016-37 (“HEX 2016-36”). See Motion, ¶ 4 (claiming
that food trucks are a permitted use within the C-3 Zoning District based upon prior decisions of
the County and citing Exhibit 3, a letter from Anita Jenkins stating that the County reviewed
“pertinent” materials, including HEX 2016-37). HEX 2016-37 pertained to a specific piece of
property with different neighboring properties and uses. See HEX No. 2016-37, attached as
Exhibit A. Even more distinguishable, the Hearing Examiner cited LDC section 2.03.03.D.1.c.26
as the basis for his jurisdiction. Id. LDC section 2.03.03.D. governs the General Commercial
District C-4 – whereas the ZVL pertains to the C-3 Zoning District. More importantly, subsection
2.03.03.D.1.c. pertains to “conditional uses” – whereas the ZVL involves an alleged “permitted
use.” This highly individualized fact-intensive decision by the hearing examiner cannot be used
as a substitute for an advertised public hearing, nor as precedent for all comparable use
determinations ad infinitum.
The Trust’s reliance upon LDC section 10.02.06.J.1 ignores LDC section 2.03.00. If there
is any dispute as to whether a public hearing process was the appropriate process to authorize a
use not expressly permitted in the underlying zoning district, LDC section 2.03.00 controls. At
the time of the ZVL, LDC section 2.03.00 provided that determinations regarding whether a use
was permitted within a district had to be made pursuant to LDC 1.06.00:
7 FCC’s appeal is therefore distinguishable from other proceedings in which the proper procedure
was followed. Stated differently, FCC had no obligation to appeal a determination that was never
approved.

2. 03. 00 — Zoning Districts; Permitted Uses, Accessory Uses, and Conditional
Uses
In order to carry out and implement the Collier County GMP and the purposes of
this LDC, the following zoning districts, district purposes, and applicable symbols
are hereby established:
A. Rules for Interpretation of Uses. In any zoning district, where the list of
permitted and conditional uses contains the phrase " any other use which is
comparable in nature with the foregoing uses and is consistent with the
permitted uses and purpose and intent statement of the district" or any similar
phrase which provides for a use which is not clearly defined or described in the
list of permitted and conditional uses, which requires the discretion of the
County Manager or designee as to whether or not it is permitted in the district,
then the determination of whether or not that use is permitted in the district
shall be made through the process outlined in interpretations, of this LDC.
1.06.00.
See Ordinance 2020-44, at p. 5. Section 1.06.01 of the LDC has read as follows since 2013:
D. Request for Official Interpretation. The County Manager or designee may
render an official interpretation of any part of the LDC. The building official
may render an official interpretation of any part of the Florida Building Code.
1. Generally. An official interpretation may be requested by any affected
person, resident, developer, land owner, government agency or department,
or any person having a contractual interest in land in Collier County.
2. Procedure. The Administrative Code shall establish the procedure and
submittal requirements for an official interpretation.
3. Request Criteria. Each request must identify the specific LDC
or building code citation to be interpreted. Each request for interpretation
must be accompanied by the appropriate fee as set forth in the fee resolution
adopted by the Board of County Commissioners. Under no circumstances may
the request for interpretation contain more than 3 issues or questions. It must
not contain a single question with more than 3 sub-issues or questions. If it is
determined by the appropriate official that the request for interpretation
contains more than 3 issues, the applicant will be required to submit a
separate request accompanied by the applicable fees.
FCC’s Appeal of Official Interpretation was to the Board of Zoning Appeals. See LDC section
1.06.01(D)(6). The procedure set forth in LDC section 1.06.01(D)(6) should control instead of
LDC section 10.02.06.J.1 The comparable use language in the C-3 Zoning District contains no

administrative discretion. All comparable use determinations were made by the BCC through the
conditional use process prior to November 17, 2020 (the effective date of Ordinance 2020-44),
and then, after implementation of Ordinance 2020-44, the conditional use process was overseen
and determined by a hearing examiner. Put another way, regardless of whether Ordinance 2020-
44 is applied retroactively, the conditional use process required a public hearing, which did not
occur here.
III. Conclusion.
For all of the above reasons, the Trust’s Motion to Limit Retroactive Application of
Ordinance 2020-44 and Any Decision on FCC’s Appeal of OI PL20210000943 should be denied
and FCC’s cross-motion to declare the SDP void ab initio should be granted.
Respectfully submitted this 6th day of October, 2021.

relevant facts to attend hearings and produce relevant documents.
(Ord. No. 2013-25, § 4)
Sec. 2-87. Powers and duties of the Hearing Examiner.
The Hearing Examiner shall have the following powers and duties:
1. Appeals of Administrative Decision or Interpretation. All type III appeals of administrative decisions or
interpretations, as set forth in LDC Section 10.04.04, shall be heard by the Hearing Examiner. All
appeals and staff response to such appeals must substantially conform to the Rules of Procedure. In
reaching his decision, the Hearing Examiner must consider:
a. The criteria for the type of application being requested;
b. Testimony from the applicant; and
c. Testimony from any members of the public.
2. Variances. The Hearing Examiner will hear and decide all requests for variances from the terms of the
regulations or restrictions of the zoning code and such other codes or ordinances as may be assigned to
him by the Board of County Commissioners. In reaching his decision, the Hearing Examiner must
consider:
a. The criteria for the type of variance being requested, in particular those set forth in LDC Section
9.04.03;
b. Staff recommendations;
c. Testimony from the applicant; and
d. Testimony from the public.
Before granting any variance, the Hearing Examiner must make a finding with respect to each of the
criteria set forth in LDC Section 9.04.03, and with respect to sign variances, LDC Section 5.06.08. The
Hearing Examiner has the same authority as the Board of Zoning Appeals to grant, deny, or modify any
request for a variance from the regulations or restrictions of this Code, or to attach conditions and
requirements necessary for the protection of the health, safety, comfort, convenience and welfare of
the general public. The conditions or requirements must be reasonably related to the variance
requested and conform to the requirements of the LDC.
3. Conditional Uses. The Hearing Examiner will hear and decide all requests for minor conditional uses.
For purposes of this section, a minor conditional use is one which does not require Environmental
Advisory Council review and which is not a case of great public interest or concern as determined in the
12.A.11
Packet Pg. 400 Attachment: Hearing Examiner Ordinance - codified (20268 : Isles of Capri Food Truck Park motions)

discretion of the Hearing Examiner. However, the Commissioner of the District in which the proposed
minor conditional use is located may direct that the minor conditional use be heard by the Planning
Commission in an advisory capacity and then Board of Zoning Appeals for final action. In reaching his
decision, the Hearing Examiner must consider:
a. The factors and criteria set forth in LDC Subsection 10.08.00.D;
b. The relevant matters set forth in an applicant's written petition;
c. The testimony of any applicant or agent;
d. The recommendation of staff; and
e. The testimony of the public.
As part of his decision, the Hearing Examiner must make the findings required by LDC Subsection
10.08.00.D, and may place appropriate conditions and safeguards as set forth in LDC Subsection
10.08.00.E.
4. Boat Lift Canopies and Dock Facility Extensions. The Hearing Examiner shall hear all petitions for a boat
lift canopy and dock facility extensions as provided for in LDC Subsections 5.03.06.G and H.
5. The Board of County Commissioners, by majority vote, may remand any advertised public hearing
involving a development order to the Hearing Examiner for the sole purpose of opining on a legal or
technical land use issue raised during the hearing. After reviewing the matter utilizing any procedure
the Hearing Examiner deems appropriate, which may or may not include an advertised public hearing,
the Hearing Examiner will issue a non-binding recommendation to the Board with respect to the issue
remanded, which recommendation will become part of the record when the matter is again heard by
the Board.
6. To the extent authorized by law, by Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners, the Hearing
Examiner may be assigned any and all other powers and duties that have previously been granted to
the Collier County Planning Commission or the Board of Zoning Appeals, expressly excepting those
powers reserved to the Collier County Planning Commission as the local planning agency (LPA), and
land development regulation commission as required by F.S. §§ 163.3174 and 163.3194. All powers
and duties expressly granted to the Hearing Examiner, either by this ordinance or through future
resolutions, preempt the Collier County Planning Commission, or the Board of Zoning Appeals, as the
case may be, with respect to the established procedures set forth in the Collier County Land
Development Code.

Sec. 2-88. Decisions and appeals from decisions of the Hearing Examiner.
All decisions of the Hearing Examiner arising from Section 2-87 will be delivered or mailed by the Hearing
Examiner to all parties of record, the County Attorney, and the County Manager. Any party, including the County,
may appeal the decision to the Board of Zoning Appeals or the Board of County Commissioners, as the case may
be, within the time frame and in the manner provided by the Rules of Procedure. Failing a timely appeal, the
decision of the Hearing Examiner will be considered final in all respects. Appeals shall be heard de novo by the
reviewing Board in the manner proscribed in the LDC. In reaching its decision, the reviewing Board may adopt or
deny, in whole or in part, the decision of the Hearing Examiner.
