Executive Summary
Recommendation to provide direction to staff to advertise an ordinance to amend the Collier County Parking, Storage
and Use of Vehicle Control Ordinance codified in the Code of Laws and Ordinances to provide limitations on the parking
and/or storing of commercial motor vehicles and commercial equipment in residential areas including the Estates zoning
district.
OBJECTIVE: To advertise an ordinance to provide limitations on the parking of commercial vehicles and/or storing of
commercial equipment in residential areas.
CONSIDERATIONS: On June 22, 2010, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 10-26, the Collier County Parking, Storage
and Use of Vehicle Control Ordinance, which combined prior regulations concerning vehicle parking, storage and use in
residential areas, excluding the Estates zoning district. Staff has been working with the County Attorney’s office to
develop an ordinance regarding commercial vehicles, and a Land Development Code (LDC) amendment regarding
home-based businesses, to address resident concerns in the Estates zoning district. On April 22, 2025, during
Commissioner Communications, the Board of County Commissioners discussed placing limits on the number of
commercial vehicles parked on a lot in the Estates zoning district. Due to resident concerns, staff and the County
Attorney are moving forward with the draft Ordinance regarding commercial vehicles. The LDC amendment regarding
home-based businesses will be brought to the Board at a future date.
The draft Ordinance places limits on commercial vehicles and the commercial equipment parked or stored outside. It
does not limit commercial vehicles and commercial equipment parked or stored in a garage or a fully enclosed structure.
Staff and the County Attorney are requesting that the Board provide direction to advertise the attached Ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
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
direction. -JAK
RECOMMENDATIONS: For the Board to direct staff to advertise an Ordinance to address commercial motor vehicles
and/or commercial equipment in residential areas including the Estates zoning district.
