Dear Chairman Saunders and Commissioners,
Re: BOCC Meeting of October 14, 2025, Agenda Item: Recommendation to consider directing the
Zoning Director to sign a Florida Housing Finance Corporation "Local Government Verification that
Development is Consistent with Zoning and Land Use Regulations" form in accordance with Florida
Statutes 125.01055. "Gallery at Naples, LLC"
I am writing on behalf of the Naples City Council, following direction provided to me late yesterday
at the conclusion of a Council Workshop. While we are not expressing a position on the merits of the
proposed 120-unit affordable housing development at 1465 Golden Gate Parkway (a 2.03-acre site),
we do wish to reaffirm our support for the broader goal of increasing affordable housing in our
community.
However, we are deeply concerned that the established and valued process of community involvement,
conducted through open and transparent public dialogue, appears at risk of being bypassed in this
instance. This is especially troubling given the size, scope, and limited public awareness of the project,
which is located directly adjacent to the City's borders.
We have recently convened a meeting between City and County planning staff to promote greater
information exchange and collaboration. Yet, the supporting documentation provided for this particular
agenda item is notably limited. We are concerned that any action taken today could inadvertently hinder
the City's ability to engage meaningfully in the project's development process moving forward.
As you are aware, this project will require the City to provide critical services, including water, police,
fire, and rescue support for approximately 120 families. Unfortunately, at this time, insufficient
information is available on this project to assess the potential demands on these services or determine
our capacity to meet them.
Additionally, this is a unique lot configuration surrounded by distinctive and heavy traffic patterns. We
are concerned about the traffic and access implications associated with this development, given the
constraints of the proposed site. We currently lack the necessary data, given the limited information
available on this project, to evaluate these impacts.
Ethics above all else • Service to others before self• Quality in all that we do

Moreover, the City is in the midst of conducting a comprehensive and scientifically grounded traffic
study, which has already highlighted significant strain along the Goodlette-Frank Road corridor, a
situation that this project is likely to exacerbate.
For these reasons, we respectfully request that, regardless of any action taken today, the Board of
County Commissioners require the project's developer to provide the City and the broader community
with a meaningful opportunity for input should the project proceed.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Gary L. Young
City Manager
