Agenda 09/13/2022 Item #10A (Board discussion implementing a moratorium on new self-storage facilities)09/13/2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to have the Board discuss implementing a moratorium on new
applications for self-storage facilities in all zoning districts that list this use as a permitted
or conditional use along US 41 between the Palm Street/Commercia l Drive/US 41
intersection and the Price Street/US 41 intersection, until Growth Management Plan and
Land Development Code amendments implementing the East Naples Community
Development Plan are adopted. (Sponsored by Commissioner LoCastro)
OBJECTIVE: To have the Board discuss implementing a moratorium on new applications for
self-storage facilities in all zoning districts that list this use as a permitted or conditional use
along US 41 between the Palm Street/Commercial Drive/US 41 intersection and the P rice
Street/US 41 intersection, until Growth Management Plan and Land Development Code
amendments implementing the East Naples Community Development Plan are adopted.
CONSIDERATIONS: Since 2010, the County has been working with the East Naples
community to establish a development plan for the East Naples area. The US 41 Corridor Study
completed in 2018 served as a basis for the East Naples Community Development Plan, which
was finalized in November 2020. The Corridor Study aimed to determine public preferences for
future development types and uses along this segment of US 41 so that those types of
development and uses could be facilitated and incentivized through Comprehensive Plan policies
and Land Development Code updates. The corridor is currently comprised of shallow C-3, C-4,
C-5 and Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning districts, which provides for a potentially
inconsistent commercial development pattern for the area and proliferation of uses such as gas
stations, car washes, pawn shops, and self-storage facilities. These types of land uses and
development are inconsistent with the vision desired for the corridor as identified in the East
Naples Community Development Plan.
Staff is currently working on Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code updates that
implement the recommendations of the Corridor Study and the East Naples Community
Development Plan, and expects to present the amendments to the Board early next year. In order
to better allow the East Naples area to grow and expand consistent with the vision outlined in the
East Naples Community Development Plan, the Board can implement a moratorium staying the
receipt of new applications for self-storage facilities in all zoning districts that list this use as a
permitted or conditional use along US 41 between the Palm Street/Commercial Drive/US 41
intersection and the Price Street/US 41 intersection, until such Growth Management Plan and
Land Development Code amendments are adopted.
FISCAL IMPACT: Impacts will be identified at time of adoption of the proposed GMP and
LDC amendments.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) IMPACT: No impact is anticipated with the
adoption of this moratorium until the corresponding GMP and LDC amendments are
implemented.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: If the Board approves this item, I will advertise and bring back
a limited moratorium ordinance to be heard at the second meeting of September (a draft of which
is included as back-up to this item). Until then, under the “pending ordinance doctrine” (Smith
10.A
Packet Pg. 241
09/13/2022
v. City of Clearwater, 383 So.2d 681 (Fla. 2d DCA 1980), rev. den. 403 So.2d 407), an applicant
is entitled to a permit under existing regulations only if the proposed regulation that would
preclude the intended use is not “pending” when application is made. A proposed governmental
action is deemed “pending” if there are active and documented efforts by those authorized to
develop and prepare the proposed regulatory change, and the local governing board or planning
board is aware of these efforts. In other words, should the Board approve this item, staff will no
longer accept applications for new development orders seeking approval of self-storage facilities
within the identified boundary of the US 41 corridor until the GMP and LDC amendments are
heard by the Board. If at its next meeting the Board does not enact the Moratorium Ordinance,
then it would be business as usual with staff authorized to accept applications for self-storage
facilities within this corridor.
With that said, this item is approved as to form and legality and a majority vote is needed for
approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: To implement a moratorium on new applications for self-storage
facilities in all zoning districts that list this use as a permitted or conditional use along US 41
between the Palm Street/Commercial Drive/US 41 intersection and the Price Street/US 41
intersection, until Growth Management Plan and Land Development Code amendments
implementing the East Naples Community Development Plan are adopted.
