Agenda 09/24/2024 Item #16A1 (Resolution amending the Administrative Code of Land Development, Ordinance No. 2013-57)9/24/2024
Item # 16.A.1.
ID#: 2024-764
Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Collier County, Florida, amending
the Administrative Code for Land Development, which was created by Ordinance No. 2013-57, by amending the
application requirements for projects with plats proposing building permits before plat recordings and providing an
effective date. (Companion to item 17B)
OBJECTIVE: To obtain the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approval of the proposed amendment to the
Collier County Administrative Code for Land Development (Administrative Code), which is a companion to a Land
Development Code (LDC) amendment (PL20240008157).
CONSIDERATIONS: The Administrative Code provides the processes and procedures for the review of various land
use petitions or applications identified within the LDC. On August 27, 2024, the Board will be voting on an agenda item
directing staff to advertise and bring back an Ordinance amending the LDC (PL20240008157). The LDC amendment
proposes to allow for the issuance of building permits after the Board approves a Final Subdivision Plat, but before the
Final Subdivision Plat is recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court. This action is prompted by the recent adoption of
Florida Senate Bill 812, which amended Chapter 177 of the Florida Statutes and will become effective on October 1,
2024. The LDC amendment proposes to rename the "Preliminary Subdivision Plat" process to "Conceptual Plat with
Deviations"; a request to advertise the Ordinance for the LDC amendments is a companion to this item (Item #29644).
This Administrative Code amendment will amend the application requirements for subdivision plats proposing to
receive building permits before plat recordings, pursuant to Section 177.073, Florida Statutes. The following chapters in
the Administrative Code will be updated:
• Contents
• Chapter 5. Subdivision Procedures
• Chapter 12. Acronyms
Approval of this Administrative Code amendment is contingent upon the adoption of the companion amendment to the
LDC (see Item #29644). If the LDC amendment is not adopted or if it is revised, this resolution will be updated
accordingly. Upon approval of this resolution, a resolution amending the Growth Management Community
Development Department (GMCD) Services Fee Schedule will be brought before the Board at a future meeting.
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ADVISORY COMMITTEE (DSAC) RECOMMENDATION: The companion
LDC amendment was reviewed by the DSAC on Wednesday, August 7, 2024, where it was recommended for approval.
The Administrative Code amendment was provided as an exhibit to the LDC amendment.
COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION (CCPC) RECOMMENDATION: The companion LDC
amendment was reviewed by the CCPC on Thursday, August 15, 2024, where the recommendation was for approval.
The Administrative Code amendment was provided as an exhibit to the LDC amendment.
FISCAL IMPACT: There are no anticipated fiscal impacts to Collier County, as there is no advertising requirement for
amendments to the Administrative Code.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board
approval. If the companion LDC is not approved, this item will be withdrawn. (HFAC)
RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve the proposed Resolution amending Ordinance No. 2013-57, as amended, the
Collier County Administrative Code for Land Development and direct staff as to any changes.
