Item # 16.A.12
ID# 2025-1104
Executive Summary
Recommendation to waive the nighttime hearing requirement and hear a Land Development Code amendment related to
the Immokalee Urban Area Overlay District at two regularly scheduled daytime Board of County Commissioners
meetings and approve a request to advertise the Land Development Code Amendment.
OBJECTIVE: To waive the nighttime hearing requirement and advertise a Land Development Code (LDC) amendment
at two regularly scheduled hearings.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Immokalee Area Planning Commission (IAPC) was formed in 1965, and Immokalee was
governed under separate zoning regulations until 1982. The Land Development Code (LDC) would be amended later
that year to define the Immokalee Area Planning District. In 1991, the Board of County Commissioners (Board)
adopted provisions for the Immokalee Central Business District, providing written and graphical boundaries of the
district. In 1997, the Board adopted another ordinance for the Immokalee area, establishing the State Road 29
Commercial Overlay District (SR29COD) and the Jefferson Avenue Commercial Overlay District (JACOD). These
overlay districts were superseded the following year when the Immokalee Overlay District (Ordinance 1998-63) was
established, which redesignated the SR29COD and the JACOD as subdistricts of the overlay. Ordinance 1998-63 also
established three additional subdistricts:
• Farm Market Overlay Sub-District
• Agribusiness Overlay Sub-District, and the
• Immokalee Central Business Sub-District.
The Immokalee Overlay District was amended in 2000 when the Main Street Overlay Subdistrict was added. The Non-
Conforming Mobile Home Park Overlay Subdistrict was established in 2002. Exhibit "A" lists LDC amendments
specific to Immokalee between 1982 and today.
When the County adopted the Growth Management Plan (GMP) in 1989, it recognized a need for a separate Sector Plan
for the Immokalee Community. In addressing this need, the County adopted the Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP)
as part of its batch amendments in connection with Ordinance 1991-15. The IAMP is in addition to and supplements the
goals, objectives, and policies of the GMP. The major purposes of the IAMP were to create better coordination of land
use and transportation planning, stimulate redevelopment and/or renewal of blighted areas, and eliminate land uses
inconsistent with the community's character. The IAMP was amended 14 times between its initial adoption and 2019,
when substantial changes were made in connection with Ordinance 2019-47. The most recent amendment to the IAMP
occurred in 2023, which added the Transit-Oriented Development Subdistrict.
In 2000, the Board created a Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to focus on the rehabilitation, conservation, or
redevelopment of two distinct geographic areas in the County, one of which is the Immokalee Community
Redevelopment Area. Later that year, the Board adopted the Community Redevelopment Plan (Resolution 2000-181)
for a 30-year timeframe. The Community Redevelopment Plan was amended in 2019 and 2022, extending the
Immokalee Redevelopment Area term to 2052. The amendment in 2022 outlined five goals for future redevelopment
efforts for Immokalee based on community input:
• Celebrating Culture
• Economic Development
• Housing
• Infrastructure and
• Implementation/Administration.
This LDC amendment was created in coordination with the Immokalee CRA and a consultant to improve the existing
LDC regulations and better implement the updated IAMP. The team worked with community stakeholders to analyze
the existing regulations, including subdistricts, permitted, conditional, accessory uses, permitted and bonus densities,
and dimensional and design standards, to identify conflicting provisions and potential impediments to redevelopment

efforts. Substantive changes include but are not limited to the following: reorganization of existing overlay subdistricts
and creation of new subdistricts; updated overlay maps; introduction of architectural and site design standards for the
overlay; introduction of use tables per subdistrict; and reorganization of development standards for the various
subdistricts.
The Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC) Recommendation: On September 4, 2024, the DSAC
recommended approval of the LDC amendment.
The Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) Recommendation: On March 6, 2025, at a nighttime hearing, the
CCPC recommended approval of the LDC amendment.
It is staff's opinion that the public had an opportunity to address their concerns at this nighttime hearing and that a
nighttime hearing by the Board will not be necessary.
This item is consistent with the Collier County Strategic Plan objective to encourage diverse economic opportunities by
fostering a business-friendly environment.
FISCAL IMPACT: There are no anticipated fiscal or operational impacts to the County’s stakeholders associated with
this LDC amendment. The costs associated with processing and advertising the proposed LDC amendment are estimated
at $50. Funds have been allocated within the Unincorporated Area General Fund (1011) and the Comprehensive
Planning Cost Center (138317).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: No growth management impact is associated with this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: LDC section 10.03.06.K provides two Board meetings are required for LDC
amendments initiated by the County that propose changes to the actual list of permitted, conditional, or prohibited uses
of land within a zoning category, and at least one hearing shall be held after 5:00 p.m. on a weekday, unless the Board
by supermajority vote the Board elects to waive the nighttime hearing and hold the hearing at another time of day. This
item is approved as to form and legality, and it requires a supermajority vote for approval. -HFAC
RECOMMENDATIONS: To waive the nighttime hearing requirement and hear a Land Development Code
amendment related to the Immokalee Urban Area Overlay District, at two regularly scheduled daytime Board of County
Commissioners meetings, and approve a request to advertise the Land Development Code Amendment.

6. Nonconforming Mobile Home Site Overlay Subdistrict. Establishment of special
conditions for these properties which by virtue of actions preceding the adoption
of Ordinance No. 91-102, on October 30, 1991, were deemed to be
nonconforming as a result of inconsistencies with the land development code,
and are located within the Immokalee Urban Boundary as depicted on the
Immokalee Area Master Plan.
a. Purpose and intent. The purpose of these provisions is to recognize that
there are nonconforming mobile homes on properties in the Immokalee
Urban Area and to establish a process to provide property owners an
official record acknowledging the permitted use of the property and render
existing mobile homes, and other structures, as lawful. Travel trailers,
regardless of the square footage, are not permitted as a permanent
habitable structure and may not seek relief under this section. Properties
that cannot meet the requirements may pursue an agreement with the
Board of County Commissioners to establish compliance with this LDC
section 2.03.07 G.6.
b. Application requirements. Property owners shall file an application as
provided for in the Administrative Code, Chapter 4, Section I.3.a. -
Immokalee Nonconforming Mobile Home Sites - Existing Conditions Site
Improvement Plan and shall only be subject to the criteria, requirements,
and process expressly stated in the Administrative Code and this LDC
section.
c. Criteria for review. The following criteria shall apply to the existing
conditions site improvement plan approval process and shall be reviewed
by the County Manager or designee.
i. Minimum separation requirements shall be consistent with State
Fire Marshal Rule 69A-42.0041 Fire Separation Requirements.
ii. The Fire authority having jurisdiction shall provide written
confirmation that either the existing fire hydrant(s) or a
supplemental apparatus, provided by the Fire District, can supply
the required fire flow needed for fire protection.

iii. NFPA 501A: Standard for Fire Safety Criteria for Manufactured
Home Installations, Sites, and Communities as referenced in FAC
69A-60.005.
d. Density. Once the existing conditions site improvement plan is approved,
owners may replace mobile home units with an approved building permit
at sites shown on the site plan. Replacement units may be larger than the
removed unit, so long as the minimum separation standards established
in LDC section 2.03.06 G.6.c.i are met.
i. Where properties currently exceed the density allowed for by the
zoning district, the approved existing conditions site improvement
plan shall establish the maximum density on the property which
shall not exceed the density of the property as depicted on the
Property Appraiser aerial maps dated before February 2016. All
lots and units shall be consistent with the approved existing
conditions site improvement plan.
ii. Where the zoning district allows for additional density, new mobile
home units may be added and shall be identified on the site plan.
New mobile homes shall be subject to the dimensional standards
established in LDC section 4.02.33.
7. Interim Deviations: Property owners within the Immokalee Urban Overlay District
may request deviations from specific dimensional requirements as described in
this section. A deviation request may be reviewed administratively or by the
Planning Commission depending upon its scope. This section addresses the
permissible deviations, limitations thereon, and the review process.
a. Review Process. Insubstantial deviations will be reviewed administratively
by the County Manager or designee. Substantial deviations will be
reviewed by the Planning Commission. This section is not intended to
replace the current established process of requesting deviations through
the PUD rezoning process. Any deviations from the LDC which are not
expressly provided for in this section shall be processed as variances in
accordance with Section 9.04.00 of the LDC.
b. Concurrent Deviation Application required. All deviation requests shall be
made concurrently with an application for an SDP or amendment, SIP or
amendment or Final Subdivision Plat, or in the case of sign deviations,
with a building permit. The applicant shall list all requested deviations on
the required site plan(s), and shall depict the deviation(s) graphically on
the plan(s). Additional graphic information may also be required by staff,
on a case-by case basis.
c. Insubstantial Deviations. Requested deviations that do not exceed 10
percent of the required dimension, amount, size, or other applicable
dimensional standard, with the exception of the required number of
parking spaces, which may not exceed 20 percent of the LDC
requirement (not more than 10 spaces), are insubstantial. To be
approved, the following criteria must be considered:

LDCA-20240004278 / 4.14.25 Page 17 of 95
Words struck through are deleted, words underlined are added
i. The proposed deviation is compatible with adjacent land uses and
structures, achieves the requirements of the regulations as closely
as is practicable, and meets the intent of the related Land
Development Code regulations; and
ii. The applicant proposes equitable tradeoffs for the proposed
diminution in development standards, such as increased open
space, landscaping, pedestrian spaces, buffering or architectural
features, in order to meet the intent of the regulation being
diminished.
d. Substantial Deviations. Requested deviations that do not qualify as
insubstantial deviations are substantial deviations:
i. Considerations for Review and Approval: The CCPC shall
consider the following:
a) Whether or not the proposed deviation is compatible with
adjacent land uses and achieves the requirements and/or
intent of the regulations as closely as is practicable; and
b) Whether the proposed deviation is the minimum amount
necessary to allow for reasonable use of the property
and/or address the issue necessitating the deviation
request; and
c) Whether the reduced or increased standard requested by
the deviation is mitigated for, either on the subject site or
by providing a public benefit on the subject site. Examples
of such on-site mitigation include but are not limited to:
increasing setbacks from the adjacent road right-of-way
when proposing to deviate from sign size limitations;
increasing plantings or planting sizes or installing a fence
or wall where a reduced buffer width is proposed; providing
public pedestrian and/or bicycle pathway easements or
other similar mobility improvements including transit
enhancements; providing public parking; providing
beautification in the public realm, including street trees,
street furniture, lighting and other similar public benefits.
e. Applicability - List of Development Standards Eligible for Deviation
Requests. Property owners shall be eligible to seek a deviation from the

1. Architectural styles. The architectural styles may include, but are not limited to,
the following:
a. Spanish Vernacular.
i. Mediterranean style. Also known as Spanish Eclectic or Spanish
Colonial Revival. Characteristics typically include barrel tile, low-
pitched roofs usually with little or no overhang, parapets, arches,
stucco, and asymmetrical façades. Buildings typically contain the
following: multi-level roofs composed of barrel tile (half cylinders)
or Spanish Tile (s-curved shape) in red and earth tones, façade of
stucco with sand finish or hand troweled, arched windows (some
triple-arched), ornamentation contain full arches and patterned
tiles or single tile for accent.
ii. Mission style. Influenced by the Spanish Colonial Style.
Characteristics typically include barrel tile roofs, arches, earth tone
colors, and asymmetrical façades finished in stucco. Similar to the
Mediterranean Style but exhibiting much less ornamentation and
detailing. Mission Style buildings typically contain flat roof with
curvilinear parapets are most common, Barrel Tile (half cylinders)
or Spanish Tile (s-curved shape), stucco with sand finish or hand
troweled, and ornamentation containing full arches.
b. Frame Vernaculars. Also known as Florida Cracker or Key West Style.
Some frame vernacular buildings in Florida exhibit a Caribbean influence,
while others are more utilitarian or rural in nature. Most familiar elements
of this style are the use of horizontal siding for façade finish, elaborate
wood balustrades, large porches, and metal roofs. Buildings typically
contain metal roof (5v panels or narrow standing seam), lapped siding
with corner boards (wood or vinyl) and ornamentation of gable end or
eave brackets.
c. Contemporary. Contemporary architecture focuses on innovation while
being in harmony with nature through the use of clean geometric lines
and elements such as openness both in interiors and to the outside,

are allowed one secondary façade. One façade of a
freestanding structure, including structures located on
outparcels, that is internal to the site and that does not
abut or face public or private streets or internal drive aisles
adjacent to the development.
iii. Design standards. The design for freestanding buildings must
employ architectural, site and landscaping design elements
integrated with, and common to those used on the primary
structure and its site. These common design elements must
include colors, building materials, and landscaping associated with
the main structure. All freestanding buildings must provide for
vehicular and pedestrian inter-connection between abutting
outparcels or freestanding sites and the primary structure.
iv. Primary façade standards. The following design feature is an
additional option which can be used to meet the requirement in

Walls expanding the design features of the building, not less than
seven (7) feet high, creating a courtyard not less than 12 feet from
the building and length of no less than 60 percent of the length of
the associated façade. The courtyard may be gated and able to be
secured from exterior public access. Grilled openings are allowed
if the courtyard is landscaped. Opening depths or wall
terminations must be a minimum of 12 inches deep. If the
courtyard contains service or equipment, the height and design
must prevent view from the exterior. Courtyard walls are not to be
considered fences.
i. Roof treatments.
i. Purpose and intent. Variations in rooflines are used to add interest
and reduce the massing of large buildings. Roof height and
features must be in scale with the building's mass and shall
complement the character of surrounding buildings and
neighborhoods. Roofing materials must be constructed of durable,
high-quality material in order to enhance the appearance and

appropriate roof treatments and features.
ii. Roof edge and parapet treatment.
a) When a building's largest floor is greater than 5,000 square
feet in floor area a minimum of two (2) roof-edge or
parapet line changes are required for all primary façades.
One such change must be located on primary façades.
Thereafter, one (1) additional roof change is required every
100 linear feet around the perimeter of the building. If a
vertical change is used, each vertical change from the
dominant roof condition must be a minimum of 10 percent
of building height, but no less than three (3) feet. If a
horizontal change is used, each horizontal change from
the dominant roof condition must be a minimum of 20
percent of the façade length, but no less than three (3)
feet.
b) Roofs, other than mansard roofs, with the slope ratio of
3:12 or higher are exempt from the above requirements for
vertical change for the façades that are less than 200 feet.
One roof edge, or parapet line change must be provided
for every 200 linear feet of the façade length.
iii. Roof design standards. Roofs must meet the following
requirements:
a) When parapets are used, the average height of such
parapets must not exceed 20 percent of the height of the
supporting wall, with exception of the parapets used to
screen mechanical equipment. Parapets used to screen

4.02.27 B.4. Buffers shall not inhibit pedestrian circulation
between adjacent commercial land uses. Buffers shall be installed
during construction as follows and in accordance with LDC section
4.06.05 General Landscaping Requirements:
a) To separate residential developments from commercial,
community use, industrial, and public use developments
and adjacent expressways, arterials, and railroad rights-of-
way, except where such expressway, arterial, or railroad
right-of-way abuts a golf course.
b) To separate commercial, community use, industrial and
public use developments from residential developments.
c) To delineate and create some limited separation between
non-residential uses.
iv. Separation shall be created with a landscape buffer strip which is
designed and constructed in compliance with the provisions of
LDC section 4.02.27 B.4 and LDC section 4.06.00, as applicable.
Such buffer strip(s) shall be shown and designated on the final
plat as a tract of easement and shall not be located within any
public or private right-of-way. The ability to locate buffer(s) within a
platted or recorded easement shall be determined pursuant to the
provisions of LDC section 4.06.00. Buffers adjacent to
protected/preserve areas shall conform to the requirements
established by the agency requiring such buffer.
v. Landscape buffers, when required by the Land Development
Code, or other county regulation shall be in addition to the
required right-of-way width and shall be designated as a separate
buffer tract or easement on the final subdivision plat. The
minimum buffer width shall be in conformance with this section
4.02.27 B.4. In no case shall the required buffer be constructed to
reduce cross-corner or stopping sight distances, or safe
pedestrian passage. All buffer tracts or easements shall be owned
and maintained by a property owner's association or other similar
entity and shall be so dedicated on the final subdivision plat.
b. Methods of determining buffers. Where a property adjacent to the
proposed use is: (1) undeveloped, (2) undeveloped but permitted without
the required buffering and screening required pursuant to this Code, or
(3) developed without the buffering and screening required pursuant to
this Code, the proposed use shall be required to install the more opaque
buffer as provided for in Table 1. Where property adjacent to the
proposed use has provided the more opaque buffer as provided for in
Table 1, the proposed use shall install a type I-A buffer.
i. Where the incorporation of existing native vegetation in landscape
buffers is determined as being equivalent to or in excess of the

intent of this Code, the County Manager or designee may waive
the planting requirements of this section.
ii. The buffering and screening provisions of this Code shall be
applicable at the time of planned unit development (PUD),
subdivision plat, or site development plan review, with the
installation of the buffering and screening required pursuant to
LDC section 4.06.05 H. If the applicant chooses to forego the
optional PSP process, then signed and sealed landscape plans
will be required on the final subdivision plat. Where a more
intensive land use is developed contiguous to a property within a
similar zoning district, the County Manager or designee may
require buffering and screening the same as for the higher
intensity uses between those uses.
iii. Landscape buffering and screening standards within any planned
unit development shall conform to the minimum buffering and
screening standards of the zoning district to which it most closely
resembles. The County Manager or designee may approve
alternative landscape buffering and screening standards when
such alternative standards have been determined by use of
professional acceptable standards to be equivalent to or in excess
of the intent of this Code.
c. Types of buffers. Within a required buffer strip, the following types of
buffers shall be used based on the matrix in Table 1. There are four (4)
possible buffer types, as described below. Each buffer type includes a

way line. Within the visibility triangle, shrubs and
hedges shall be required pursuant to LDC section
4.06.05 D.4, except that hedges, shrubs, or ground
cover located within the signage visibility triangle
shall be maintained at a maximum plant height of
24 inches. Within the visibility triangle, no more
than one required canopy tree may be exempted
from the Type I-D buffer requirements.
v. Interpretation of Table 1.
a) The table below describes the required buffer type when a
proposed use is abutting a different existing use or, in the
absence of an existing use, the existing zoning.
b) The letter listed under "Adjacent Properties Zoning District
and/or Property Use" shall be the landscape buffer and
screening alternative required. Where a conflict exists
between the buffer required by zoning district or property
use, the more stringent buffer shall be required.
c) The "-" (dash) symbol shall represent that no buffer is
required.

percent of the size of the vehicular use areas must be
developed as green space within the front yard(s) or
courtyards of shopping centers and retail establishments
and must be in addition to the building perimeter planting
area requirements. The courtyards must only be located in
areas that are likely to be used by pedestrians visiting the
shopping center and retail establishment. The seven
percent green space area must be in addition to other
landscaping requirements of this division, may be used to
meet the open space requirements (section 4.02.01), and
must be labeled "Green Space" on all subdivision and site
plans (Refer to section 4.02.27 A.). The interior landscape
requirements of these projects must be reduced to an
amount equal to five percent (5 percent) of the vehicular
use area on site. Green space must be considered areas
designed for environmental, scenic, or noncommercial
recreation purposes and must be pedestrian-friendly and
aesthetically appealing. Green space may only include the
following: lawns, mulch, decorative plantings,
nonprohibited exotic trees, walkways within the interior of
the green space area not used for shopping, fountains,
manmade watercourses (but not water retention areas),
wooded areas, park benches, site lighting, sculptures,

overhang, parapets, arches, stucco, and asymmetrical
facades. Mediterranean style buildings typically contain
the following: multi-level roofs composed of barrel tile (half
cylinders) or Spanish Tiles (s-curved shape) in red and
earth tones, façade of stucco and sand finish or hand
troweled, arched windows (some triple-arched),

stucco. Similar to the Mediterranean Style but exhibiting
much less ornamentation and detailing. Mission Style
buildings typically contain flat roof with curvilinear parapets
are most common, barrel tile (half cylinders) or Spanish
Tile (s-curved shape), stucco with sand finish or hand
troweled, and ornamentation containing full arches.
ii. Frame Vernacular. Also known as Florida Cracker or Key West
Style. Some frame vernacular buildings in Florida exhibit a
Caribbean influence, while others are more utilitarian or rural in
nature. Most familiar elements of this style are the use of
horizontal siding for façade finish, elaborate wood balustrades,
large porches, and metal roofs. Frame Vernacular buildings
typically contain metal roofs (5v panels or narrow standing seam),
lapped siding with corner boards (wood or vinyl) and
ornamentation of gable end or eave brackets.
iii. Contemporary. Contemporary architecture focuses on innovation
while being in harmony with nature through the use of clean
geometric lines and elements such as openness both in interiors
and to the outside, natural light, eco-friendly materials and
creative styles. This is achieved through the use of a range of
building materials such as concrete, glass, wood, and metals.
b. Building façade design. Buildings should have architectural features and
patterns that provide visual interest from the perspective of the
pedestrians and motorists. All additions and alterations shall be
compatible with the principal structure in design, color, and materials.
i. Façade orientation. New buildings should orient the principal
entrance façade parallel to the public right-of-way. If the building
fronts on more than one public right-of-way, all facades facing the
public rights-of-way should be designed consistent with primary
façade requirements.
ii. Façade continuity. Facades along Main Street should limit building
gaps along the block. If a gap is created between two buildings,
one of the following should be provided.
a) A pedestrian courtyard (connecting to rear parking areas or
alleys), or
b) A decorative façade connecting the two buildings, or
c) A low street wall along that portion of the lot along the
right-of-way not devoted to pedestrian or vehicular access.
iii. Façade variation.

1. Review process. Insubstantial deviations will be reviewed administratively by the
County Manager or designee. Substantial deviations will be reviewed by the
Hearing Examiner or Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC). This section
is not intended to replace the current established process of requesting
Page 1209 of 6355

LDCA-20240004278 / 4.14.25 Page 85 of 95
Words struck through are deleted, words underlined are added
deviations through the PUD rezoning process. Any deviations from the LDC
which are not expressly provided for in this section shall be processed as
variances in accordance with LDC section 9.04.00.
2. Concurrent deviation application required. All deviation requests shall be made
concurrently with an application for an SDP or amendment, SIP, or Final
Subdivision Plat, or in the case of sign deviations, with a building permit. The
applicant shall list all requested deviations on the required site plan(s) and shall
depict the deviation(s) graphically on the plan(s). Additional graphic information
may also be required by staff, on a case-by-case basis.
3. Insubstantial deviation. Requested deviations that do not exceed 10 percent of
the required dimension, amount, size, or other applicable dimensional standard,
with the exception of the required number of parking spaces, which may not
exceed 20 percent of the LDC requirement (not more than 10 spaces), are
insubstantial. To be approved, the following criteria must be considered:
a. The proposed deviation is compatible with adjacent land uses and
structures, achieves the requirements of the regulations as closely as is
practicable, and meets the intent of the related LDC provisions; and
b. The applicant proposes equitable tradeoffs for the proposed diminution in
development standards, such as increased open space, landscaping,
pedestrian spaces, buffering or architectural features, in order to meet the
intent of the regulation being diminished.
4. Substantial deviations. Requested deviations that do not qualify as insubstantial
deviations are substantial deviations. The Hearing Examiner or CCPC shall
consider the following:
a. Whether or not the proposed deviation is compatible with adjacent land
uses and achieves the requirements and/or intent of the regulations as
closely as is practicable.
b. Whether the proposed deviation is the minimum amount necessary to
allow for reasonable use of the property and/or address the issue
necessitating the deviation request.
c. Whether the reduced or increased standard requested by the deviation is
mitigated for, either on the subject site or by providing a public benefit on
the subject site. Examples of such on-site mitigation include but are not
limited to: increasing setbacks from the adjacent road right-of-way when
proposing to deviate from sign size limitations; increasing plantings or
planting sizes or installing a fence or wall where a reduced buffer width is
proposed; providing public pedestrian and/or bicycle pathway easements
or other similar mobility improvements including transit enhancements;
providing public parking; providing beautification in the public realm,
including street trees, street furniture, lighting and other similar public
benefits.
