Item # 16.A.17
ID# 2025-5
Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve a Resolution and an after-the-fact right-of-way permit authorizing the temporary closing of
a portion of City Gate Blvd North and determining that the closure is necessary for the Magic of Lights event from
November 22, 2024 – January 4, 2025, in affiliation with Sports Facilities and the Paradise Coast Sports Complex, to
fulfill the Collier County’s right-of-way permit application requirement for road closures.
OBJECTIVE: To have the Board approve the closure of City Gate Blvd North by Sports Facilities and Paradise Coast
Sports Complex for the “Magic of Lights” event.
CONSIDERATIONS: Sports Facilities and the Paradise Coast Sports Complex are hosting the Magic of Lights event
November 22, 2024 through January 4, 2025 and seek to close a portion of City Gate Blvd North for the event. The
Event Map and Maintenance of Traffic for Road Closures (attached) show the area of road closure.
The event was previously held at the Collier County Fairgrounds; upon relocation of the event, the organizers were
unaware a right-of-way permit (ROW) was needed. Upon notification of the event to Growth Management Community
Development staff, a ROW permit was applied for (PRROW20241251560).
FISCAL IMPACT: The applicant has paid the Right-of-Way permit fee ($200) and after the-fact fees ($2,400)
associated with this permit. Per Resolution 2017-109, permit fees for events within the ROW are $200 per day.
However, fees are doubled for after-the-fact permits.
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 majority vote for Board
approval. -DDP
RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve a resolution and an after-the-fact right-of-way permit authorizing the temporary
closing of a portion of City Gate Blvd North for the Magic of Lights event from November 22, 2024 through January 4,
2025.
