BACKGROUND
The provisions for guesthouses were first adopted in 1 974 when the Coastal Planning Area District regulations
were established. This ordinance defined them as an “accessory dwelling unit,” which was to be “used exclusively
for the non -commercial accommodation of friends or relatives of the occupant or owner of the principal dwelling.”
In 1976, the provisions were clarified to prohibit the leasing or renting of a guest accommodation facility and to
allow one guest house to be a permitted accessory use in both the Agricultural (A) and Estates (E) zoning districts.
Since then, the guesthouse provisions have been amended from time to time, but the prohibition of renting them
has remained.
On February 14, 2023, the Board discussed an item sponsored by Commissioner McDaniel that sought to amend
the LDC to the allow the rental of guesthouses . During the presentation, Commissioner McDaniel suggested that
the rental of guesthouses should be restricted to homesteaded properties located in the urban Estates—the
rationale of the restriction being that on-site landlords do a good job of managing the actions of their tenants. The
Board members further discussed the prospect of the amending the LDC but later agreed that Commissioner Hall
should first discuss the matter with the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) before the Board gives
direction to staff .
On May 15, 2023, staff presented the prospect of guesthouse rentals within the Urban Golden Gate Estates to the
AHAC. The AHAC supported looking at the rental of guesthouses as a possible solution to the affordable housing
shortage within the County. The motion recognized that it was the desire of AHAC to increase supply and to
allow this in the Urban Estates. It also was their desire to recommend exploring guesthouse rental for the Rural
Estates. Finally, the program should be offered to homestead ed properties (and that the exemption would remain)
and that it should be kept at market-rate rents. The AHAC wanted staff to provide the Board with the rent -ranges
and the percentage of homesteaded properties out of the 3,559 targeted properties.
On May 14, 2024, the Board discussed Item 11.A. under the County Manager’s Report, which was a
recommendation to provide staff direction on the Board’s request for staff to gather input on the community’s
desire to allow for the legal renting of guesthouses within the urban Estates Zoning District , based upon the
conclusions provided for within the Guesthouse Rental White Paper. By a vote of 4 -1, the Board directed staff
to move forward with an LDC amendment with the provision in writing of the one -year revisit and a specific

report from Code Enforcement.
The provisions for the Density Rating System in the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth
Management Plan recognizes that guesthouses are considered accessory dwellings and are not counted toward
density . However, the Density Rating System in the FLUE is only applicable to certain geographic areas of the
County and yields to either the Immokalee Area Master Plan or Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP), where
applicable, in matters of density and application. The geographic area encompassed by this LDC amendment is
located within the jurisdiction of the GGAMP, specifically the Urban Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element.
According to the Estates Designation of the Urban Golden Gate Estates Sub -Element of the GGAMP, this
designation is characterized by low density semi -rural residential lots within limited opportunities for other land
uses. Typical lots are 2.25 acres; however, there are some legal non -conforming lots as small as 1.14 acres.
Residential density is limited to a maximum of one unit per 2.25 gross acres, or one unit per legal non -conforming
lot of record, exclusive of guesthouses. Multiple family dwelling units, duplexes, and other structures containing
two or more principal dwellings are prohibited in all Districts and Subdistricts in the Estates Designation. The
density exclusion for guesthouses is also provided for in the Residential Estates Subdistrict of the Estates – Mixed
Use District. Since the Urban Golden Gate Estates Sub-Element is silent with respect to the rental of guesthouses,
no GMP amendment will be necessary or required to amend the LDC to allow guesthouse rentals in the Estates
zoning district.
Transportation Planning staff reviewed the proposed Amendment and anticipates there will be minimal impacts
on the road network based on the following findings :
•There are a limited number of parcels effected by the amendment.
•The Urban Subdistrict contains an established road network with major north -south and east-west arterials
and collectors.
•Traffic impacts resulting from the rental units should more widely be distributed within the subdistrict
compared to traditional PUD developments with single point trip impacts.
•There is a reasonable network of interconnected local -neighborhood roads providing alternative routes.
•There are numerous goods/services/employment opportunities adjacent to this subdistrict area to reduce trip
lengths on the network compared to longer rural commuter -residential trips.
FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS
Fiscal and operational impacts are to be
determined.
GMP CONSISTENCY
The proposed LDC amendment has been reviewed by
Comprehensive Planning staff and may be deemed
consistent with the GGAMP.

A.Rural Agricultural District (A). The purpose and intent of the rural agricultural district (A) is4
to provide lands for agricultural, pastoral, and rural land uses by accommodating5
traditional agricultural, agricultural related activities and facilities, support facilities related6
to agricultural needs, and conservation uses. Uses that are generally considered7
compatible to agricultural uses that would not endanger or damage the agricultural,8
environmental, potable water, or wildlife resources of the County, are permissible9
as conditional uses in the A district. The A district corresponds to and implements the10
Agricultural/Rural land use designation on the future land use map of the Collier County11
GMP, and in some instances, may occur in the designated urban area. The12
maximum density permissible in the rural agricultural district within the urban mixed use13
district shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained in the future land14
use element of the GMP. The maximum density permissible or permitted in A district shall15
not exceed the density permissible under the density rating system. The16
maximum density permissible in the A district within the agricultural/rural district of the17
future land use element of the Collier County GMP shall be consistent with and not exceed18
the density permissible or permitted under the agricultural/rural district of the future land19
use element.20

C.If the principal dwelling a main residence is leased or rented, a guest accommodation1
facility accessory to it may not be occupied by the property owner, since that would2
constitute the unlawful utilization of single-family zoned property for two-family dwelling3
purposes.4

E.A guesthouse may be constructed prior to a principal dwelling, provided the guest house19
meets the minimum requirements of a single-family residence in the district in which it is20
being constructed. At such time as a principal residence is constructed, then the floor area21
percentages listed above shall apply.22

34
3.If the Property Appraiser determines the landlord is no longer eligible, entitled, or35
qualified to receive the homestead exemption, the continued leasing or renting of 36
the guesthouse shall constitute an unlawful utilization of the guesthouse, effective 37

letter of the denial of the homestead exemption. 39
40
4.The guesthouse must contain sleeping f acilities, a bathroom , and a kitchen.41
