This process was criticized by customers for being confusing and by staff for having no formal evaluation criteria. When the Board adopted Ordinance 2020-44, the CUD process was changed to eliminate the ZVL. Staff now evaluates each application based on the new standards and provides a written Staff Report with a recommendation to either the HEX or BZA. The CUD process is currently connected to the list of permitted uses in the Commercial Zoning Districts (C-1 through C-5), Business Park (BP), Public Use (P), Golden Gate Parkway Overlay District (GGPOD), and the Planned Unit Development district (PUD), when such PUD contains specific provisions within its respective ordinance. The Bayshore Zoning Overlay District (BZO) and the Gateway Triangle Zoning Overlay District (GTZO), formerly known as the Bayshore Mixed Use District (BMUD) and the Gateway Triangle Mixed Use District (GTMUD), also contain provisions allowing the County Manager to make a final determination as to whether a particular use, which is unlisted in the Table of Uses, is within the same class of uses as a listed use. This provision was est ablished by Ordinance 2012-39 and overlooked in the formation of the recent updates to the CUD process. This proposed LDC amendment shall delete these provisions. The C-1 through C-5 zoning districts also contain a provision allowing for other permitted commercial uses and professional services to be considered comparable. This provision shall be revised, so that only uses which exclusively serve the administrative functions of a business shall be permitted. This change is appropriate, because those 3.A.1.a Packet Pg. 4 Attachment: PL20220000207 CUD (07-18-2022) (22876 : PL20220000207 LDC Amendment - Comparable Use Determination) 2 G:\LDC Amendments\Advisory Boards and Public Hearings\CCPC\2022\Aug 18\Meeting Material\Word Version\PL20220000207 CUD (07-18-2022).docx commercial uses and professional services that are purely associated with activities conducted in an office are permitted throughout all these commercial zoning classifications. On October 12, 2021, the Board directed staff to bring back an LDC amendment emph asizing the need for having the conditional use process be applied to CUDs. It was the Board’s concern that comparable uses should be examined for comparability, compatibility, and consistency on a site-specific basis only and not applied uniformly to all areas within the County sharing the same zoning district or to other zoning classifications having higher intensities. As such, this LDC amendment shall clear any confusion or the misapplication of the scope of a CUD, so that each request is restricted to a site-specific location (e.g., lot, parcel, tract of land, etc.) and correct any unintended consequence of expanding the CUD process beyond for which the Board intends. It shall also authorize a CUD for whenever there is a list of permitted uses. As proposed, the CUD process shall be combined with the conditional use provisions of LDC section 10.08.00 for all zoning classifications, except for when a PUD explicitly contains the provision, “any other use which is comparable in nature with foregoing uses and is consistent with the permitted uses and purpose and intent statement of the district” or any similar phase that provides for a comparable use which is not clearly defined or described in the list of permitted uses and requires the discretion of the County Manager or their designee. In this instance, only the procedures and standards of LDC section 10.02.06 K. shall apply. Unlike other zoning classifications, PUDs are different because they are planned developments under unified ownership or control, limited to their legal boundaries at a specific location in the County, and contain a tailored list of allowable uses and development standards. The CUD would ultimately be decided by either the HEX or BZA, depending on the scope of the application. The conditional use provisions of LDC section 10.08.00 allow for the hearing bodies to place special conditions on each request, as deemed appropriate, to ensure the application will not adversely affect the public and the surrounding properties. A companion amendment to the Administrative Code will establish in Chapter 3, a new subsection C.4, “Conditional Use-Comparable Use Determination (CU-CUD)” and modify Chapter 3. L to read “Comparable Use Determination in PUDs (PUD-CUD).” DSAC-LDR Subcommittee Recommendations The subcommittee unanimously recommended approval on March 9, 2022, with two caveats: that staff will look at all the overlay districts and see if any others need to be changed in accordance with these measures and to clarify the narrative’s background section in terms of how the system of allowed comparable uses in zoning districts is described. The narrative has been revised and all overlay zoning districts are included in the amendment. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS The CU-CUD application fee shall be charged the same fee as for a Conditional Use Permit at $4,000. For a PUD-CUD application, the fee remains the same at $1,000 and $100 per hour as needed upon completion of staff’s review and research and provided a Conditional Use Permit is not required. GMP CONSISTENCY The proposed LDC amendment has been reviewed by Comprehensive Planning staff and may be deemed consistent with the GMP.

Rules for Interpretation of Uses. In any zoning district, where the list of permitted uses 8 contains the phrase "any other use which is comparable in nature with the foregoing 9 uses and is consistent with the permitted uses and purpose and intent statement of 10 the district" or any similar phrase which provides for a use which is not clearly defined 11 or described in the list of permitted uses, which requires the discretion of the County 12 Manager or designee as to whether or not it is permitted in the district, then the 13 determination of whether or not that use is permitted in the district shall be made 14 through the process outlined in LDC section 10.02.06 K it may be determined through 15 the process outlined in LDC section 10.02.06 K. that a use not listed or clearly defined 16 in the list of permitted uses of a zoning district is comparable in nature to a use that 17 is a permitted use in that respective zoning district. 18 19 * * * * * * * * * * * * * 20 # # # # # # # # # # # # # 21 22 2.03.03 – Commercial Zoning Districts 23 24 A. Commercial Professional and General Office District (C-1). The purpose and intent of the 25 commercial professional and general office district C-1 is to allow a concentration of office 26 type buildings and land uses that are most compatible with, and located near, residential 27 areas. Most C-1 commercial, professional, and general office districts are contiguous to, 28 or when within a PUD, will be placed in close proximity to residential areas, and, therefore, 29 serve as a transitional zoning district between residential areas and higher intensity 30 commercial zoning districts. The types of office uses permitted are those that do not have 31 high traffic volumes throughout the day, which extend into the evening hours. They will 32 have morning and evening short-term peak conditions. The market support for these office 33 uses should be those with a localized basis of market support as opposed to office 34 functions requiring inter-jurisdictional and regional market support. Because office 35 functions have significant employment characteristics, which are compounded when 36 aggregations occur, certain personal service uses shall be permitted, to provide a 37 convenience to office-based employment. Such convenience commercial uses shall be 38 made an integral part of an office building as opposed to the singular use of a building. 39 Housing may also be a component of this district as provided for through conditional use 40 approval. 41 42 1. The following uses, as identified with a number from the Standard Industrial 43 Classification Manual (1987), or as otherwise provided for within this section are 44 permissible by right, or as accessory or conditional uses within the C-1 commercial 45 professional and general office district. 46 47 a.

Commercial Convenience District (C-2). The purpose and intent of the commercial 12 convenience district (C-2) is to provide lands where commercial establishments may be 13 located to provide the small-scale shopping and personal needs of the surrounding 14 residential land uses within convenient travel distance except to the extent that office uses 15 carried forward from the C-1 district will expand the traditional neighborhood size. 16 However, the intent of this district is that retail and service uses be of a nature that can be 17 economically supported by the immediate residential environs. Therefore, the uses should 18 allow for goods and services that households require on a daily basis, as opposed to those 19 goods and services that households seek for the most favorable economic price and, 20 therefore, require much larger trade areas. It is intended that the C-2 district implements 21 the Collier County GMP within those areas designated agricultural/rural; estates 22 neighborhood center district of the Golden Gate Master Plan; the neighborhood center 23 district of the Immokalee Master Plan; and the urban mixed use district of the future land 24 use element permitted in accordance with the locational criteria for commercial and the 25 goals, objectives, and policies as identified in the future land use element of the Collier 26 County GMP. The maximum density permissible in the C-2 district and the urban mixed 27 use land use designation shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained 28 in the future land use element of the Collier County GMP. The maximum density 29 permissible or permitted in a district shall not exceed the density permissible under the 30 density rating system. 31 32 1. The following uses, as identified with a number from the Standard Industrial 33 Classification Manual (1987), or as otherwise provided for within this section are 34 permissible by right, or as accessory or conditional uses within the C-2 commercial 35 convenience district. 36 37 a.

Commercial Intermediate District (C-3). The purpose and intent of the commercial 8 intermediate district (C-3) is to provide for a wider variety of goods and services intended 9 for areas expected to receive a higher degree of automobile traffic. The type and variety 10 of goods and services are those that provide an opportunity for comparison shopping, 11 have a trade area consisting of several neighborhoods, and are preferably located at the 12 intersection of two-arterial level streets. Most activity centers meet this standard. This 13 district is also intended to allow all of the uses permitted in the C-1 and C-2 zoning districts 14 typically aggregated in planned shopping centers. This district is not intended to permit 15 wholesaling type of uses, or land uses that have associated with them the need for outdoor 16 storage of equipment and merchandise. A mixed-use project containing a residential 17 component is permitted in this district subject to the criteria established herein. The C -3 18 district is permitted in accordance with the locational criteria for commercial and the goals, 19 objectives, and policies as identified in the future land use element of the Collier County 20 GMP. The maximum density permissible in the C-3 district and the urban mixed use land 21 use designation shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained in the 22 future land use element of the Collier County GMP. The maximum density permissible or 23 permitted in the C-3 district shall not exceed the density permissible under the density 24 rating system. 25 26 1.

General Commercial District (C-4). The general commercial district (C-4) is intended to 10 provide for those types of land uses that attract large segments of the population at the 11 same time by virtue of scale, coupled with the type of activity. The purpose a nd intent of 12 the C-4 district is to provide the opportunity for the most diverse types of commercial 13 activities delivering goods and services, including entertainment and recreational 14 attractions, at a larger scale than the C-1 through C-3 districts. As such, all of the uses 15 permitted in the C-1 through C-3 districts are also permitted in the C-4 district. The outside 16 storage of merchandise and equipment is prohibited, except to the extent that it is 17 associated with the commercial activity conducted on -site such as, but not limited to, 18 automobile sales, marine vessels, and the renting and leasing of equipment. Activity 19 centers are suitable locations for the uses permitted by the C-4 district because most 20 activity centers are located at the intersection of arterial roads. Therefore the uses in the 21 C-4 district can most be sustained by the transportation network of major roads. The C-4 22 district is permitted in accordance with the locational criteria for uses and the goals, 23 objectives, and policies as identified in the future land use element of the Collier County 24 GMP. The maximum density permissible or permitted in a district shall not exceed the 25 density permissible under the density rating system. 26 27 1.

The petitioner is intending to amend the LDC to change the regulations for the below site, herein referred to as the “Prepmac, LLC parcel”: The abutting property to the south of the Prepmac, LLC parcel is approximately 1.53 acres and has been owned by Collier County since 2008. It is also eligible for the off-site storage of boats, boat trailers, trailered vessels, and other related vehicles under the provisions of this LDC amendment. PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: Amend LDC section 2.03.03 and LDC section 5.05.02 to allow for the off-site storage of boats, boat trailers, trailered vessels, and other related vehicles as a conditional use when a site is in the General Commercial District (C-4) and not located farther than 660 feet of a marina (having a boat ramp) or a public boat launching facility (boat ramp), measured from property line to property line. It also contains a provision that the subject site shall not be located within 100 feet of residentially zoned property, except for the Residential Tourist District (RT). The LDC amendment is only applicable to this one two-acre parcel located at the southwest corner of Tamiami Trail East and Newport Drive, owned by Prepmac, LLC. 3.A.2.a Packet Pg. 29 Attachment: PL20210000766 Off-Site Boat Storage Staff Report_Exhibits A_B_C (08-10-2022) (22877 : PL20210000766 - LDC Amendment - Off- LDCA-PL20210000766 - Off-Site Boat Storage Page 4 of 14 08/10/2022 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: Manatee Protection Plan (MPP) Considerations: The purpose of the site rating system of the Collier County Manatee Protection Plan (MPP) is to help determine the maximum wet slip densities, dry storage, and boat ramps to improve existing manatee protection. The MPP contains criteria to determine the suitability for siting a marina, resulting in the following three categories of rankings: Preferred, Moderate, and Protected. The marina at the Port of the Islands has been designated “Moderate,” which allows for the expansion of existing facilities but prohibits the construction of new facilities. Staff determined that the dry storage of boats at an off-site location would not be subject to the MPP. According to Section 3.2 of the MPP (see Exhibit A), a dry storage facility is only subject to the MPP if it has water frontage and the capability of launching vessels into those waters. The Prepmac, LLC parcel and the County-owned parcel do not have water frontage, and staff has determined that expanding the marina provisions to allow off-site boat storage would not initiate a consistency review with the MPP. According to MPP, the Port of the Islands has an existing private marina containing multiple wet boat slips. In addition, a public boat ramp is also located near the Prepmac, LLC parcel, as pictured below. ZONING STAFF ANALYSIS: Analysis of Purpose and Intent of the C-4 Zoning District: The petitioner wants to develop the Prepmac, LLC parcel with a boat yard or the storage of boats, boat trailers, trailered vessels, and other related vehicles. The subject parcel is zoned C-4. According to LDC section 2.03.03 D., the purpose and intent of the C-4 zoning district is follows: The general commercial district (C-4) is intended to provide for those types of land uses that attract large segments of the population at the same time by virtue of scale, coupled with the type of activity. The purpose and intent of the C-4 district is to provide the opportunity for the most diverse types of commercial activities delivering goods and services, including entertainment and recreational attractions, at a larger scale than the C-1 through C-3 districts. As such, all of the uses permitted in the C-1 through C-3 districts are also permitted in the C-4 district. The outside storage of merchandise and equipment is prohibited, except to the extent that it is associated with the commercial activity conducted on-site such as, but not limited to, automobile sales, marine vessels, and the renting and leasing of equipment. Activity centers are suitable locations for the uses permitted by the C-4 district because most activity centers are located at the intersection of arterial roads. Therefore the uses in the C-4 district can most be sustained by the transportation network of major roads. The C-4 district is permitted in accordance with the locational criteria for uses and the goals, objectives, and policies as identified in the future land use element of the Collier County GMP. The maximum density permissible or permitted in a district shall not exceed the density permissible under the density rating system. The C-4 is to provide for land uses, including recreational attractions that are larger in scale than what is permissible within the C-1, C-2, and Commercial Intermediate District (C-3). It is notable that the purpose and intent of the C-4 prohibits the outside storage of merchandise and equipment, except to the extent that the outside storage is associated with the commercial activity conducted on-site, such as but not limited to automobile sales, marine vessels, and the renting and leasing of equipment. Analysis of Marinas, Boating-Related Uses, and Outdoor Storage Yards: Staff recognizes that the storage of boats is an activity commonly associated with a Marinas and 3.A.2.a Packet Pg. 30 Attachment: PL20210000766 Off-Site Boat Storage Staff Report_Exhibits A_B_C (08-10-2022) (22877 : PL20210000766 - LDC Amendment - Off- LDCA-PL20210000766 - Off-Site Boat Storage Page 5 of 14 08/10/2022 other types of boat launching facilities. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) lists “Boat yards, storage and incidental repair” under Marinas (4493). The LDC section 2.03.03 D.1.a.83. lists Marinas as a permitted use in the C-4 district, as shown below: 83. Marinas (4493 and 4499 - except canal operation, cargo salvaging, ship dismantling, lighterage, marine salvaging, marine wrecking, and steamship leasing), subject to section 5.05.02. Marinas are listed as permitted by right in the C-2, C-3, C-4. They are conditional in the RT, VR, and CF. Table 1 on the next page provides a summary of where Marinas and other boating- related uses are allowed throughout the County. Table 1. Boating-related Uses by Zoning District.

Does not include dredge, barge, or other work-dockage or service, boat construction or reconstruction, or boat sales lot. The definition implies that Marinas are comprised of a minimum of two of the above listed activities, and one such activity is “dry boat storage.” However, the Prepmac, LLC site is precluded from having a Marina because the parcel lacks frontage on a navigable waterway. Since the Prepmac, LLC parcel and the County-owned parcel are currently ineligible for a Marina, the petitioner is proposing to amend the Marinas section of the LDC, to allow for the off-site storage of boats, boat trailers, trailered vessels, and other related vehicles as a conditional use in the C-4 and only in the POTI. This allowance is predicated on the restriction that the site for a boat yard 3.A.2.a Packet Pg. 31 Attachment: PL20210000766 Off-Site Boat Storage Staff Report_Exhibits A_B_C (08-10-2022) (22877 : PL20210000766 - LDC Amendment - Off- LDCA-PL20210000766 - Off-Site Boat Storage Page 6 of 14 08/10/2022 is located no farther than 660 feet from either a 1) marina; or 2) public boat ramp. In the context of this LDC amendment, the term “public boat ramp” and/or similar wording is construed to include facilities designed as boat ramps, such as those at Bayview Park and Goodland Boat Park (as pictured in Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively). In addressing impacts to residents and compatibility concerns, the petitioner is proposing to restrict the eligibility of a site for a boat yard if the site is located within 100 feet of a residential zoning district, excluding the RT. The LDC considers boat yards and the outdoor storage of boats, boat trailers, trailered vessels, and other related vehicles to be “outdoor storage yards.” The C-4 does not list the proposed use as permitted by right or conditionally, and therefore, it is prohibited. An outdoor storage yard, as a principal use, is allowed in other higher-intensity zoning districts, such as in the C-5. In the C-5, the LDC section 2.03.03 E.1.a.120., provides for outdoor storage yards as follows: 120. Outdoor storage yards, provided that the yard is located no closer than twenty-five (25) feet to any public street and that such yard shall be completely enclosed, except for necessary ingress and egress, pursuant to section 4.02.12. This provision shall not be construed to allow, as permitted or accessory use, wrecking yards, junkyards, or yards used in whole or part for scrap or salvage operations or for processing, storage, display, or sales of any scrap, salvage, or secondhand building materials, junk automotive vehicles, or secondhand automotive vehicle parts. An outdoor storage yard is also permitted by right in the I, and conditionally in the VR. Because it is not allowed in the C-4, the petitioner is proposing to expand the list of conditional uses in the C-4 zoning district to allow the following use: 19. Off-site boat yards and the dry storage of boats, boat trailers, trailered vessels, and other related vehicles, in connection with a marina or a public boat ramp, subject to LDC section 5.05.02 G. and limited to the Port of the Islands. The Prepmac, LLC parcel is separated from the marina and public boat ramp by Newport Drive, which is owned by the Port of the Island Community Improvement District. Because of this separation, the proposed use cannot be considered an accessory use to either the marina or public boat ramp. Since the proposed use is considered a principal use of higher intensity (from a zoning district perspective), the petition is inconsistent with the GMP—and no LDC amendment can create an inconsistency with the GMP. If the petitioner intends to store the boats, boat trailers, trailered vessels, and other related vehicles exclusively within an air-conditioned building on the Prepmac, LLC parcel, then the use would qualify as indoor storage, which is a conditional use in the C-4 in accordance with LDC section 2.03.03 D.1.c.24. Analysis of Maximum Building Height and Setbacks. The petitioner is proposing to restrict the height of all principal and accessory structures on the Prepmac, LLC parcel to a maximum of 35 feet. The maximum height would also apply to any boats, boat trailers, trailered vessels, and other related vehicles that may be stored on the property. Table 2 on the next page provides a comparison of the maximum building heights allowed within 3.A.2.a Packet Pg. 32 Attachment: PL20210000766 Off-Site Boat Storage Staff Report_Exhibits A_B_C (08-10-2022) (22877 : PL20210000766 - LDC Amendment - Off- LDCA-PL20210000766 - Off-Site Boat Storage Page 7 of 14 08/10/2022 select zoning districts. Table 2. Maximum Building Height by Zoning District Zoning District Maximum Height Residential Tourist District (RT) 10 stories, not to exceed 100 feet Village Residential District (VR) 35 feet Commercial Convenience District (C-2) 35 feet Commercial Intermediate District (C-3) 50 feet General Commercial District (C-4) 75 feet Heavy Commercial District (C-5) 35 feet Industrial District (I) 50 feet Community Facility (CF) 30 feet Prepmac, LLC Parcel 35 feet Staff compared the maximum building heights for select zoning districts where Marinas are allowed. As proposed in this LDC amendment, the buildings and all outdoor items to be stored would be restricted to a maximum height of 35 feet, which is substantially less than the 75 feet allowed by C-4, as well as the 50-feet allowed by the C-3 and I. This 35-foot limitation represents the same maximum height that is allowed on sites located in the VR, C-2, and C-5, except that in the VR, C-2, and C-5 (as well as the other aforementioned zoning classifications), the outdoor stored items could exceed the maximum height. Table 3 below identifies the minimum building setbacks proposed for the Prepmac, LLC parcel and compares them to the minimum required in the C-4. Table 3. Minimum Required Setbacks C-4 Yard Distance in C-4 LDC Amendment Front 50% of the building height, but not less than 25 feet 25 feet Side 50% of the building height, but not less than 15 feet. 20 feet Rear 50% of the building height, but not less than 15 feet. 20 feet Table 3 shows that greater setbacks for the storage of boats are proposed in LDC amendment compared to the normal building setbacks in the C-4. The minimum front setback proposed in this LDC amendment will be 25 feet, which will match the C-4; however, the side and rear will be 20 feet, which will exceed that which is normally required for the C-4 (based on the 35-foot maximum height). It should be noted that any non-fixed structure, such as an unanchored boat rack, is not considered a building or a structure and would not have to meet the minimum setbacks prescribed by Table 2.1 of LDC section 4.02.02. Structures are defined by LDC section 1.08.02 as follows: Anything constructed or erected which requires a fixed location on the ground, or in the ground, or attached to something having a fixed location on or in the ground, including buildings, towers, smokestacks, utility poles, and overhead transmission lines. Fences and walls, gates or posts are not intended to be structures. The Building Division considers a non-fixed boat rack as something that is moveable or “road ready,” and as such, no permits are required. However, if the boat racks have a fixed location or designed such that they are not readily movable, then they are deemed to be structures and require permits from the Building Division and need to comply with the setbacks in the LDC for an 3.A.2.a Packet Pg. 33 Attachment: PL20210000766 Off-Site Boat Storage Staff Report_Exhibits A_B_C (08-10-2022) (22877 : PL20210000766 - LDC Amendment - Off- LDCA-PL20210000766 - Off-Site Boat Storage Page 8 of 14 08/10/2022 accessory structure. Since this LDC amendment requires that “all structures, vessels, and trailers on the non-contiguous lot” be setback at least 20 feet (25 feet along public street), then the provision is construed to mean that both fixed structures and moveable boat racks need to comply with the LDC amendment’s prescribed setbacks. Analysis of Public Notification Requirements: The LDC amendment requires that petitioners for off-site boat yards would need to obtain conditional use approval. A minor conditional use application is a type of petition that does not require review from the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC), which means that each request is typically decided by the Hearing Examiner. The Hearing Examiner has the discretion to elevate the level of review (and yield jurisdiction) to the Board of Zoning Appeals if the petition is determined to be of great public interest or concern. In these instances, the petition is reviewed by the Collier County Planning Commission, serving in an advisory capacity, and then by the BZA, for final action. This LDC amendment proposes to require the BZA as having sole jurisdiction for minor conditional use petitions proposing off-site boat storage on C-4 properties on the POTI. When reviewed by the BZA, minor conditional use applications require at least four affirmative votes. A conditional use application requires a NIM, which means that the property owners most affected by an application for the off-site boat storage will be notified. The mailed notice requirements of LDC section 10.03.05 requires that petitioners utilize a notification area either 500 feet, 1,000 feet, or a mile, depending on the application type and geographic location of the subject property. A conditional use request on the Prepmac, LLC site would normally require a 500-foot notification area. However, this LDC amendment requires future conditional use requests to have a notification area of 1,000 feet, which includes the Prepmac, LLC site, as well as any other eligible site that is zoned C-4, regardless of its location. The 1,000-foot notification area exceeds the 660- foot maximum distance between the off-site boat yard to the marina or public boat launching facility. This notification area would be used for both the NIM as well as for the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC). Site Development Plan (SDP) Considerations: The LDC amendment requires additional landscaping for the off-site boat storage. Additional landscaping serves as a mitigating factor to consider when expanding the marina provisions to include off-site boat storage. This is true for the Prepmac, LLC parcel and any other eligible C-4 zoned property. As proposed, the non-contiguous lot shall be buffered with a second row of trees at a height of 14 feet at the time of installation. This provision exceeds the minimum standards of LDC section 4.06.02 C. and LDC section 4.06.05 D.2., which requires only a single row with 10- foot-tall trees. The provisions in the LDC amendment also stipulates that the wall/fence shall not exceed eight feet in height, which is consistent with LDC section 5.03.02 D.1. While not specifically stated in the LDC amendment, it is implied the wall/fence shall be installed a minimum of seven feet in height, to comply with the design standards for outdoor storage (LDC section 4.02.12 A.). Additionally, staff is concerned about the potential impact on the physical health of the boat ramp and the potential to launch boats using a forklift associated with the boat storage facility. 3.A.2.a Packet Pg. 34 Attachment: PL20210000766 Off-Site Boat Storage Staff Report_Exhibits A_B_C (08-10-2022) (22877 : PL20210000766 - LDC Amendment - Off- LDCA-PL20210000766 - Off-Site Boat Storage Page 9 of 14 08/10/2022 GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) CONSISTENCY: The Prepmac, LLC parcel is designated Urban, Urban Mixed Use District, Urban Residential Subdistrict, and located within the Coastal High Hazard Area and the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern, as depicted on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and in the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth Management Plan (GMP). Under the Urban Mixed Use District there is a provision specific to the Port of the Islands (POTI) which acknowledges the development agreement between Port of the Islands, Inc. and what is now the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. It also provides that the “Port of the Islands is eligible for all provisions of the Urban Mixed Use District in which it is located to the extent that the overall residential density and commercial intensity does not exceed that permitted under zoning at time of adoption of this Plan.” Paragraphs 8A(2) and (3) of the Development Agreement also provide that the property may be developed per the C-4 at the date of approval of the development agreement, July 2, 1985 (see Exhibit D). FLUE Policy 5.3 reads, in relevant part: “All rezonings must be consistent with this Growth Management Plan. For properties that are zoned inconsistent with the Future Land Use Designation Description Section but have nonetheless been determined to be consistent with the Future Land Use Element, as provided for in Policies 5.9 through 5.13, the following provisions apply: a. For such commercially-zoned properties, zoning changes will be allowed provided the new zoning district is the same or a lower intensity commercial zoning district as the existing zoning district, and provided the overall intensity of commercial land use allowed by the existing zoning district, except as allowed by Policy 5.11, is not exceeded in the new zoning district. e. Overall intensity of development shall be determined based upon a comparison of public facility impacts as allowed by the existing zoning district and the proposed zoning district.” The petitioner asserts that this policy: a) only applies to the rezone of property [that is, the changing from one zoning district to a different zoning district, e.g. rezone from the Commercial Professional and General Office District (C-1) to the Commercial Convenience District (C-2)]; b) that an LDC amendment is a legislative action whereas a rezone is a quasi-judicial action; and, c) an analysis can be submitted to demonstrate this LDCA would not result in an increase in impacts upon public facilities. In response to the petitioner’s assertions, staff: a) reads the term “zoning changes” to encompass both a rezone of property and the changes to a zoning district; b) notes that the ordinance for a rezone petition and the ordinance for an LDC amendment petition are both amendments to “Ordinance Number 2004-41, as amended, the Collier County Land Development Code”; and c) because the zoning district use intensity is increased, thus the first threshold (paragraph a.) is not met, the public facilities impact analysis (paragraph e.) is not relevant. To read Policy 5.3 to only apply to rezones and to not apply to LDC amendments, as the petitioner asserts, could allow perverse changes to a zoning district e.g., add Heavy Commercial District (C-5) and/or Industrial 3.A.2.a Packet Pg. 35 Attachment: PL20210000766 Off-Site Boat Storage Staff Report_Exhibits A_B_C (08-10-2022) (22877 : PL20210000766 - LDC Amendment - Off- LDCA-PL20210000766 - Off-Site Boat Storage Page 10 of 14 08/10/2022 District (I) uses to the C-4, such as warehousing, [unrestricted] outdoor storage, petroleum storage, manufacturing, distribution facilities, etc. The proposed storage use is not permitted in the C-4, but is currently permitted in C-5 and the I. Therefore, the addition of this use would be an increase in zoning intensity of the C-4, in conflict with the POTI provision in the FLUE, Policy 5.3 and the POTI Development Agreement. Under the Urban Mixed Use District, water dependent and water related land uses are permitted on waterfront (shoreline) properties. Further, priorities are established for water dependent land uses over water related land uses. Objective 10.1 in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the GMP (Collier County Manatee Protection Plan NR-SP-93.01) similarly provides for water dependent and water related land uses for shoreline properties and establishes priority for water dependent land uses. The subject site is not a waterfront property, therefore does not qualify for this water dependent land use provision. Further, per the definition of “marina” in the LDC, this project is not a marina, rather boat storage. When reviewing LDC amendments, LDC section 10.02.09 establishes that “The LDC may only be amended in such a way as to preserve the consistency of the LDC with the Growth Management Plan.” As explained above, this LDC amendment results in an increase in zoning intensity for the subject site contrary to the FLUE and the POTI Development Agreement. It should be noted that the POTI Development Agreement and the limitation on increasing commercial intensity for the area would not allow a GMP amendment to rezone the property to the Commercial-5 zoning district, in which outdoor storage is a permitted use. As such, the LDC amendment to extend a marina and the storage component allowed for within the use to a limited distance (660 feet) of an existing marina or boat ramp was utilized to satisfy compliance with the limitation, as marinas are permitted uses in the C-4 zoning district. Conclusion: This LDCA is inconsistent with the POTI provision in FLUE, POTI Development Agreement, and FLUE Policy 5.3 – all of which do not allow an increase in zoning intensity. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Collier County Code of Laws section 2-1037 charges the Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC) with, “[providing] input to staff regarding the creation of new rules, processes and procedures associated with the development industry,” and with, “[reviewing] proposed ordinances and codes that may affect the community development and environmental services division prior to their submittal to the Board of County Commissioners for approval.” Accordingly, DSAC reviews and provides recommendations on all LDC amendments prior to BCC approval. The Development Services Advisory Committee-Land Development Review (DSAC-LDR) Subcommittee reviewed this petition on May 25, 2022. The DSAC reviewed this petition on June 1, 2022. Staff recommended approval of the petition, but with conditions involving changes to LDC section 5.05.02 as well to LDC section 2.03.03. These changes included listing off-site boat yards as a conditional use in the C-4 district and for the requirement for the mailed notice for the NIM (associated with the future conditional use application) to be held between November 1 and April 1 and that the notification for the NIM be 3.A.2.a Packet Pg. 36 Attachment: PL20210000766 Off-Site Boat Storage Staff Report_Exhibits A_B_C (08-10-2022) (22877 : PL20210000766 - LDC Amendment - Off- LDCA-PL20210000766 - Off-Site Boat Storage Page 11 of 14 08/10/2022 provided to all properties within 1,000 feet of the subject property. The DSAC recommended approval of the petition (with two members recusing), contingent upon the following: 1. The maximum height of 35 feet shall be measured to the top a structure and not to the top of a boat or a trailer sitting on top of a structure; and 2. The notice for the NIM shall remain at 1,000 feet but there shall be no limitation on the time throughout the year as to when the NIM can occur. ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: The Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) acts in an advisory capacity to the Board and reviews matters dealing with regulation, control, management, use, or exploitation of nature resources within the County, as per Sec. 2-1193 of the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances. It also reviews specific zoning and development petitions and their impact on the County’s natural resources. This LDC amendment will not require a recommendation from the EAC. COUNTY ATTORNEY OFFICE REVIEW: The County Attorney Office has reviewed this staff report on July 29, 2022. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) forward Petition PL20210000766 to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a recommendation of denial, due to its inconsistency with both the GMP and the POTI Development Agreement, and the fact that the proposed use is dependent upon a County facility and such facility may experience greater impacts because of the potential for increased use.

Mulhere, FAICP, President LDC SECTIONS: 2.03.03 - Commercial Zoning Districts 5.05.02 - Marinas SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT: This amendment shall allow the off-site storage of boats in connection with a marina or a public boat launching facility (boat ramp). DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES: Amend LDC section 2.03.03 and LDC section 5.05.02 to allow for the off-site storage of boats, boat trailers, trailered vessels, and other related vehicles as a conditional use when such are in connection with a marina or public boat ramp. The lot used for the off-site storage must be located within 660 feet of a marina or public boat ramp, measured from property line to property line. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: No fiscal or operation impacts to the County are anticipated other than an increased use of public boat ramps. GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPACTS: No growth management plan impacts are anticipated with this LDC amendment.

The general commercial district (C-4) is intended to 5 provide for those types of land uses that attract large segments of the population at the 6 same time by virtue of scale, coupled with the type of activity. The purpose and intent of 7 the C-4 district is to provide the opportunity for the most diverse types of commercial 8 activities delivering goods and services, including entertainment and recreational 9 attractions, at a larger scale than the C-1 through C-3 districts. As such, all of the uses 10 permitted in the C-1 through C-3 districts are also permitted in the C-4 district. The outside 11 storage of merchandise and equipment is prohibited, except to the extent that it is 12 associated with the commercial activity conducted on -site such as, but not limited to, 13 automobile sales, marine vessels, and the renting and leasing of equipment. Activity 14 centers are suitable locations for the uses permitted by the C-4 district because most 15 activity centers are located at the intersection of arterial roads. Therefore, the uses in the 16 C-4 district can most be sustained by the transportation network of major roads.

Off-site boat yards or the storage of boats, boat trailers, trailered vessels, and other related vehicles on non-contiguous lots. Purpose: To allow boat yards or the storage of boats, boat trailers, trailered vessels, and other related vehicles on lots that are non-contiguous and within 660 feet of a related marina or public boat ramp, under limited conditions. Justification: The applicant owns a parcel of land with C-4 zoning and located at the Port of the Islands approximately 360 linear feet from the County owned marina and public boat ramp. The C -4 zoning in the Port of the Islands area has been in existence since at least 1982, and has remained undeveloped, as there is little market demand in this location for typical C -4 uses. There is, however, significant demand for boat and boat trailer storage, evidenced by the County boat storage operating at Port of the Islands and the fact that there is limited available storage and a waiting list for storage spots at the county-owned property. Allowing boats, boat trailers, and trailered vessel storage on parcels that are non-contiguous and within 660 feet of a marina or public boat ramp will reduce the number of trailered vessels moving over the roadway system to access such locations. It would not increase the number of boats accessing the boat ramp but would reduce the distance these trailered boats travel in order to reach the water. Objective 10.1 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Growth Management Plan County’s GMP gives priority to “water dependent shoreline land uses,” such as a marina, but locations for new marinas are very limited due to lack of available waterfront property and the limits imposed on such property due to environmental constraints. Policy 10.1.1 states that the “County shall prioritize water-dependent and water-related uses” as follows: a. Public recreational facilities over private recreational facilities; b. Public boat ramps; c. Marinas 1. Commercial (public) marinas over private marinas; 2. Dry storage over wet storage; d. Commercial fishing facilities; e. Other non-polluting water-dependent industries or utilities; f. Marine supply/repair facilities; and g. Residential development. Collier County is currently experiencing overcrowding issues at existing public boat ramp facility parking lots, which is limiting the public from utilizing such ramps or causing the public to park in undesignated areas. As the County has already invested in the public boat ramp facilities, and due to the limited areas in which new marinas can be located, one way to allow for increased access 3.A.2.d Packet Pg. 64 Attachment: PL20210000766 Off-Site Boat Storage Exhibits E_F_G_H (22877 : PL20210000766 - LDC Amendment - Off-Site Boat Yards Page 2 of 4 H:\2021\2021031\WP\DSAC-LDR\Justification Data Analysis 5-7-2022.docx to such facilities, under limited conditions, would be to allow a boat/boat trailer storage facility in close proximity to such sites. The proposed amendment is limited in its application as follows: • Only C-4 zoned parcels that permit the use of marinas would qualify for this use; • The use requires conditional use approval from the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA), with an increased mailed notice requirement of 1,000 feet; • Only parcels located within 660 feet of a public boat ramp or marina, and a minimum of 100 feet from a residentially zoned parcel (excluding conventional or planned residentially zoned districts that allow marinas) would qualify; • Such sites must be designed such that trailers (with or without vessels) can access the public ramp without having to cross an arterial, collector, or higher roadway classification; • Enhanced landscape buffer standards must be met for this specific use; and • All structures on the non-contiguous lot are limited in height to one story, not to exceed 35 feet in zoned building height, and shall have a minimum setback of 20 feet, except that along public streets the setback shall be 25 feet. The LDC amendment also exempts such boat storage uses from the provisions of the Manatee Protection Plan (MPP). Per the April 21, 2021, Pre-Application Meeting, staff indicated a Manatee Protection Plan is not required for this proposed LDC Amendment as the proposed changes are specifically related to allowing boat/boat trailer storage facilities on non-waterfront properties and is not related to marinas, which are defined as a boating facility located on navigable water frontage. This is further supported by Tim Hall, Senior Ecologist with Turrell, Hall and Associates, Inc. In the attached letter from Tim Hall, it states a Manatee Protection Plan is only required for dry storage facilities if they have water frontage. The specific property that inspired this LDC amendment does not have water frontage and the amendment restricts the use to non- waterfront properties. The LDC amendment limits the use of boat storage on non-contiguous sites so that they are only permitted in conjunction with a marina or public boat ramp. The LDC amendment would not allow boat yards or the storage of boats and related vessels in areas where such uses are not otherwise permitted as accessory uses and would be limited to locations within 660 feet of the marina or public boat ramp. Additionally, the enhanced landscape standards, required setbacks, height limitations, and conditional use approval from the BZA for this specific use will ensure compatibility with the neighboring area. The SIC code for Marinas clarifies what such establishments are primarily engaged in: 4493 Marinas Establishments primarily engaged in operating marinas. These establishments rent boat slips and store boats, and generally perform a range of other services including cleaning and incidental boat repair. Boat yards, storage and incidental repair. However, by definition in the Land Development Code, a marina must have navigable water frontage. 3.A.2.d Packet Pg. 65 Attachment: PL20210000766 Off-Site Boat Storage Exhibits E_F_G_H (22877 : PL20210000766 - LDC Amendment - Off-Site Boat Yards Page 3 of 4 H:\2021\2021031\WP\DSAC-LDR\Justification Data Analysis 5-7-2022.docx So it makes sense to allow boat yards and boat storage as a permissible use in zoning districts that permit marinas as a use by right in support of existing marinas or public boat ramps under the limited conditions proposed. There is great demand for use of publicly accessible boat ramps and most are limited by the availability of associated vehicle and boat trailer parking. Allowing boat and trailer storage on properties properly zoned and nearby such publicly accessible ramps will allow for greater utilization and access to the water in a safe and compatible manner per the following Collier County Growth Management Plan, Recreation and Open Space Element Objective. • Collier County Growth Management Plan, Recreation and Open Space Element Objective 1.3 reads as follows: Continue to ensure that all public developed recreational facilities, open space and beaches and public water bodies are accessible to the general public. • Policy 1.3.2 reads: Collier County shall continue to ensure that access to beaches, shores and waterways remains available to the public. Further the County will develop a program to assess the availability of land for the creation of new access points, and a method to fund the necessary land acquisition. Allowing parcels properly zoned and in close proximity to public boat ramps to store boats and trailers will maximize utilization of these public facilities at no additional cost to the public. • Collier County Growth Management Plan, Conservation and Coastal Management Element Objective 10.2 reads as follows: Ensure that access to beaches, shores and waterways remain available to the public and continue with the County’s program to expand the availability of such access and a method to fund its acquisition. • The Urban Mixed Use District description reads, in part, as follows: Water-dependent and water-related land uses are permitted within the coastal region of this District. Mixed-use sites of water-dependent and water-related uses and other recreational uses may include water-related parks, marinas (public or private), yacht clubs, and related accessory and recreational uses, such as boat storage, launching facilities, fueling facilities, and restaurants…. The Collier County Manatee Protection Plan (NR-SP-93-01) May 1995 restricts the location of marinas and may limit the number of wet slips, the construction of dry storage facilities, and boat ramps, based upon the Plan’s marina siting criteria. Priorities for shoreline land use shall be given to water dependent principal uses over water-related land uses. In addition to the criteria of compatibility with surrounding land uses and consistency with the siting policy of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (Objective 10.1 and subsequent policies), the following land use criteria shall be used for prioritizing the siting of water-dependent and water-related uses: a. Presently developed sites; b. Sites where water-dependent or water-related uses have been previously established; c. Sites where shoreline improvements are in place; d. Sites where damage to viable, naturally functioning wetlands, or other environmentally sensitive features, could be minimized. • The proposed use will not generate any greater traffic than would a marina with frontage on a navigable waterway. 3.A.2.d Packet Pg. 66 Attachment: PL20210000766 Off-Site Boat Storage Exhibits E_F_G_H (22877 : PL20210000766 - LDC Amendment - Off-Site Boat Yards Page 4 of 4 H:\2021\2021031\WP\DSAC-LDR\Justification Data Analysis 5-7-2022.docx • Any such use will be required to submit a Site Development or Site Improvement Plan and will be subject to the same development standards as would apply to any other uses, unless specifically addressed in the LDC amendment, in the applicable zoning district, including enhanced landscape buffers, setbacks for structures, stormwater design, and so forth. Conclusion: The proposed amendment makes sense. The use is limited and will be in support of marinas and public boat ramps to help provide additional public access to Collier County’s waterways. By allowing boat and boat trailer storage on non-waterfront properties, this amendment will fulfill a need within Collier County and will do so without creating an additional impact on the environmentally sensitive waterways and protected mangroves. Enhanced landscape buffers will ensure a softening of the outdoor use and will provide additional screening for compatibility with the surrounding areas. The other development standards and LDC requirements will apply to this use, the same as other uses permitted by right in the zoning districts where marinas are permitted. 3.A.2.d Packet Pg. 67 Attachment: PL20210000766 Off-Site Boat Storage Exhibits E_F_G_H (22877 : PL20210000766 - LDC Amendment - Off-Site Boat Yards TURRELL, HALL & ASSOCIATES, INC.

My understanding is that the property would be used only to store boats either inside a structure or outside in the open air. There is no on-site launch facility proposed with the boat storage. The Collier County Manatee Protection Plan Section 3.2 states “For the purpose of this plan, marina facilities include wet slip marinas, boat yards with water access, and multi-slip residential facilities. Dry storage facilities are only considered in this plan if they have water frontage, and the capability of launching vessels into those waters (emphasis added).” This property does not have water frontage. There is a small adjacent fill pit on the adjacent National Park Service lands, but the water boundary does not directly abut or cross into this site and launching of vessels into that water body would serve no purpose as there is no access to open waters from the pit. As such, boat storage on this property is not subject to a Manatee Protection Plan review as it does not have the water frontage or launching capability that would be necessary to be subject to the MPP review. In my opinion, siting the storage facility close to a public ramp makes sense for several reasons. Having the trailered boats kept close to the launch site reduces travel on local roads and is safer than having to trailer them longer distances from residences or other storage facilities. This also reduces fuel costs and wear and tear on the trailers and vehicles doing the hauling. Storing vessels away from the water also reduces the risk of contamination from spills, bilges, or bottom paints which can all be more easily contained and controlled (or not needed in the case of bottom paints) in upland facilities. The vessels stored at this site would likely be those utilizing the local public ramp, anyway, so having them more conveniently located to it would still not increase the demand or put undue pressure on the ramp. The close location could also help to reduce the parking issues which have plagued this ramp since its opening to the public.
