Item # 17.E
ID# 2025-4890
Executive Summary
This item requires that ex-parte disclosure be provided by Board of Zoning Appeals members. Should a hearing be held
on this item, all participants are required to be sworn in. Recommendation to approve a Resolution for the establishment
of a conditional use to allow a church on property zoned Estates (E) pursuant to Section 2.03.01.B.1.c.1 of the Collier
County Land Development Code, on property located at 5890 Golden Gate Parkway in Section 29, Township 49 South,
Range 26 East, Collier County, Florida, consisting of 2.81+ acres. [PL20230010505] (This item is a companion to Item
17D)
OBJECTIVE: To have the Board of Zoning Appeals (Board) review staff’s findings and recommendations along with
the recommendations of the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) regarding the above referenced petition and
render a decision regarding the petition; and ensure the project is in harmony with all the applicable codes and
regulations in order to ensure that the community's interests are maintained.
CONSIDERATIONS: Les Voyageurs Celestes Pentecostal Worship Center, Inc. seeks Conditional Use approval to
allow a church on a +2.81-acre property fronting on Golden Gate Parkway. Because the site is in the Urban Estates area
of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan of the Growth Management Plan, the proposed Conditional Use requires a
companion amendment to the Growth Management Plan to allow the use of the property as a church.
The subject parcel is located at 5890 Golden Gate Parkway, between 60th Street SW and 58th Street SW, approximately
one-half mile west of Santa Barbara Boulevard and approximately one-half mile east of I-75.
The site is developed with a 2,200-square foot single family residence with pool built in 1986 and a 900-square foot out-
building built in 2019 per Property Appraiser records. The existing one-story residential dwelling and out-building are
proposed to be repurposed and renovated to accommodate a maximum 6,000-square foot church with 200 seats and a
maximum 4,000-square foot fellowship hall/multi-purpose building. Other planned accessory uses include outdoor
recreation and play areas. Paved and grass parking areas are proposed to meet parking requirements per the LDC.
Section 4.05.04 G. requires 3 parking spaces for each 7 church seats. For the proposed 200-seat facility, this equates to
86 parking spaces.
The site is between a single family home to the west and the ABLE Academy private school which was approved as a
Conditional Use by Resolution 93-217 to the east, beyond which is the Pelican Community Center and Lutheran Church
which was approved as a Conditional Use by Resolution 09-187. Across Golden Gate Parkway, a six-lane divided
arterial roadway, is the Naples Bridge Center social club which was approved as a Provisional Use by Resolution R-80-
128 and approved for expansion by Resolution 07-138.
The Conceptual Site Plan indicates conformance with the development standards of the Estates (E) zoning district and
applicable standards of the Golden Gate Parkway Corridor Management Overlay. An enhanced Type B buffer is
proposed along the western property line abutting a single family residence.
To address compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood, the petitioner proposed ten conditions of approval, and the
petitioner accepted additional conditions recommended by the planning commission listed below:
1. Applicable state and federal permits must be obtained before development.
2. This conditional use is limited to that which is depicted on the Conceptual Site Plan.
3. Outdoor lighting shall be limited to reduce glare to neighboring properties.
4. Hours are limited to: 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily for church offices; 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. weekdays and 9:00
am. to 10:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday for worship services. Exceptions are allowed for religious holiday worship
events conducted at sunrise and midnight.
5. Maximum church size of 6,000 square feet and 4,000 square feet of related structures; maximum capacity of 200
seats.
6. Traffic control shall be provided by law enforcement or an approved provider at times of significant traffic
generation.
7. Trip cap is not to exceed 20 two-way PM peak hour net trips.
8. No private school or day care, except that child care is permitted during religious services.

9. No outdoor amplified sound.
10. The western Type B buffer is shown on the Conceptual Site Plan as 25 feet wide and shall be enhanced with an
additional a row of 10-foot tall understory trees spaced 25 feet on-center staggered with the buffer canopy trees.
COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION (CCPC): The CCPC heard Petition CU-PL20230010505 on
November 20, 2025, and voted unanimously to forward this petition and the companion GMPA- PL20230012851 to the
Board with a recommendation of approval subject to all staff recommended conditions, plus the following:
Condition 3 is modified so that all lighting shall be limited to 15 feet in height and 3000K color temperature.
New Condition 11. At the time that central sewer infrastructure and capacity is available along the frontage of the
property, the project will connect to central sewer service.
New Condition 12. No building shall exceed one story.
New Condition 13. Use of the fellowship hall by an outside group is prohibited at the same time as church services.
All proposed conditions, including those recommended by the Planning Commission, are acceptable to the petitioner
and are included in the attached Resolution.
Two members of the public spoke. The neighboring property owner to the west asked about protections from flooding,
controls on intensity, sewer availability, and electrical service. The explanations provided and additional conditions
related to state and federal permitting, maximum height of one story, and connection to sewer service addressed the
comments. Another nearby property owner spoke on a different topic of multifamily development and said she finds the
proposed church acceptable.
Staff recommendation to the Collier County Planning Commission was for denial based upon the Golden Gate Area
Master Plan (GGAMP) policy of no additional conditional uses along this corridor. The CCPC heard Petition
PL20230012851, the Golden Gate Worship Center, on November 20th, 2025, and voted 6-0 to forward this petition to
the Board with a recommendation of approval for an exception to the policy. Based upon that policy recommendation
of the Planning Commission, staff is recommending approval of the proposed amendment to the GGAMP.
This item supports the Community Development Objective of the Strategic Plan to implement prudent and inclusive
policy development through effective planning for transportation, land use, and growth management.
FISCAL IMPACT: The conditional use (CU) by and of itself will have no fiscal impact on Collier County. There is no
guarantee that the project, at build-out, will maximize its authorized level of development. However, if the CU is
approved, a portion of the land could be developed, and the new development will result in an impact on Collier County
public facilities.
The County collects impact fees prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy to help offset the impacts of each
new development on public facilities. These impact fees are used to fund projects identified in the Capital Improvement
Element of the Growth Management Plan as needed to maintain the adopted Level of Service (LOS) for public facilities.
Other fees collected prior to issuance of a building permit include building permit review fees. Please note that impact
fees and taxes collected were not included in the criteria used by staff and the Planning Commission to analyze this
petition.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Because the site is in the Urban Estates area of the Golden Gate Area Master
Plan of the Growth Management Plan, the proposed Conditional Use requires a companion amendment to the Growth
Management Plan to allow the use of the property as a church. Comprehensive Planning staff evaluated the companion
GMPA-PL20230012851 and found churches and other places of worship are allowed in the Estates subject to certain
location criteria identified in the last restudy of Golden Gate Estates in 2019. The Restudy reaffirmed the existing
residential nature of the land uses surrounding the I-75 interchange at Golden Gate Parkway and states that there shall be
no further conditional uses for properties abutting Golden Gate Parkway, between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara
Boulevard, except as allowed on specific tracts identified within the conditional use subdistrict language. This language
in the Golden Gate Area Master Plan is crafted in a way that it is clear that the intent is to restrict the ability for
conditional uses to proliferate in areas not intended for these uses or perceived as overdevelopment.
Page 13852 of 14062

Item # 17.E
ID# 2025-4890
Comprehensive Planning Staff finds that the amendment to the Conditional Use subdistrict on the property to allow a
church to be inconsistent with the goals and policies of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan, as well as the specific
adopted policy to restrict non-residential uses on Golden Gate Parkway between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara.
Further Staff recognizes that a church use would be an allowed use within the Downtown Center Commercial
Subdistrict, approximately within one-half mile to the east of the subject site. Based on the information provided during
the CCPC hearing, staff recognizes the proposed siting of the church can be found consistent with the GMP if the
companion GMP Amendment is approved.
Based on the TIS provided by the applicant, the 2024 AUIR and State Statute, the subject Conditional Use can be found
consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the GMP. Transportation Planning staff finds this petition
consistent with the GMP.
Environmental review staff has found this project to be consistent with the Conservation & Coastal Management
Element (CCME). The project site is 2.81 acres. The property does not contain native vegetation; no preservation is
required.
The GMP is the prevailing document to support land use decisions, such as this proposed Conditional Use. Staff is
required to make a recommendation regarding a finding of consistency or inconsistency with the overall GMP as part of
the recommendation for approval, approval with conditions, or denial of any rezoning petition.
This petition cannot be approved unless and until the companion GMPA is adopted and goes into effect with an
effective date linked to the effective date of the companion GMPA.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Before you is a recommendation by the CCPC for approval of a conditional use to
allow a church on land zoned Estates (E) subject to the companion GMP Amendment petition (PL20230012851). A
conditional use is a use that is permitted in a particular zoning district subject to certain restrictions. All testimony given
must be under oath. The attached report and recommendations of the CCPC are advisory only and are not binding on
you. The petitioner has the burden of demonstrating that the necessary requirements have been met, and you may
question the petitioner or staff, to satisfy yourself that the necessary criteria has been satisfied. In addition to meeting
the necessary criteria, you may place such conditions and safeguards as you deem appropriate to allow the use, provided
that there is competent, substantial evidence that these additional conditions and safeguards are necessary to promote the
public health, safety, welfare, morals, order, comfort, convenience, appearance, or the general welfare of the
neighborhood. As a further condition of approval of the conditional use, you may require that suitable areas for streets,
public rights-of-way, schools, parks, and other public facilities be set aside, improved, and/or dedicated for public use,
subject to appropriate impact fee credits.
Approval or denial of the petition is by Resolution. Should this item be denied, Florida Statutes section 125.022(3)
requires the County to provide written notice to the applicant citing applicable portions of an ordinance, rule, statute, or
other legal authority for the denial. This item has been approved as to form and legality, and requires an affirmative
vote of four for BZA approval. (HFAC)
RECOMMENDATION(S): To approve a Resolution for the establishment of a conditional use to allow a church on
property zoned Estates (E) pursuant to Section 2.03.01.B.1.c.1 of the Collier County Land Development Code, on
property located at 5890 Golden Gate Parkway.

PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
Les Voyageurs Celestes Pentecostal Worship Center, Inc. seeks Conditional Use approval to allow a
church on a +2.81-acre property fronting on Golden Gate Parkway. Because the site is in the Urban
Estates area of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan of the Growth Management Plan, the proposed
Conditional Use requires a companion amendment to the Growth Management Plan to allow the use of
the property as a church.
The site is developed with a 2,200-square foot single family residence with pool built in 1986 and a 900-
square foot out-building built in 2019 per Property Appraiser records. The existing one-story residential
dwelling and out-building are proposed to be repurposed and renovated to accommodate a maximum
6,000-square foot church with 200 seats and a maximum 4,000-square foot fellowship hall/multi-purpose
building. Other planned accessory uses include outdoor recreation and play areas. Paved and grass
parking areas are proposed to meet the LDC’s parking requirements. Section 4.05.04 G. requires three
parking spaces for each of the seven church seats. For the proposed 200-seat facility, this equates to 86
parking spaces.
The site is between a single-family home to the west and the ABLE Academy private school, which was
approved as a Conditional Use by Resolution 93-217 to the east, beyond which is the Pelican Community
Center and Lutheran Church, which was approved as a Conditional Use by Resolution 09-187. Across
Golden Gate Parkway, a six-lane divided arterial roadway, is the Naples Bridge Center social club, which
was approved as a Provisional Use by Resolution R-80-128 and approved for expansion by Resolution
07-138.

Properties along Golden Gate Parkway are subject to the Corridor Management Overlay (CMO), which
extends 330 feet from the right-of-way line perpendicular to Golden Gate Parkway. The overlay
implements urban design concepts for Golden Gate Parkway. Section 4.02.24 of the LDC requires a 75-
foot front yard setback increasing by 25 feet for each additional floor or a vertical slope setback of 2:1;
two-way ingress/egress separations of 330 feet from the nearest intersection measured from intersecting
right-of-way lines; and signs restricted to a maximum height of four feet above the ground and maximum
60 square feet per side, set back at least 15 feet from the road right-of-way. The Conceptual Site Plan
indicates conformance with the development standards of the Estates (E) zoning district and applicable
standards of the Corridor Management Overlay. An enhanced Type B buffer is proposed along the
western property line abutting a single family residence. (See the Conceptual Site Plan on the following
page, also included in Attachment A - Draft Resolution.)
LDC section 3.05.07 B.1, requires that 10 percent of native vegetation be set aside within a preserve area.
The petitioner has indicated that no native vegetation exists on-site; thus, no native preserve is proposed.
To address compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood, the petitioner proposes 10 conditions of
approval, as provided in Exhibit C of Attachment A – Draft Resolution. The proposed conditions relate
to permitting and operational aspects of the church as summarized below:
1. Applicable state and federal permits must be obtained before development.
2. This conditional use is limited to that which is depicted on the Conceptual Site Plan.
3. Outdoor lighting shall be limited to reduce glare to neighboring properties.
4. Hours are limited to: 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily for church offices; 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
weekdays and 9:00 am to 10:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday for worship services. Exceptions are
allowed for religious holiday worship events conducted at sunrise and midnight.
5. Maximum church size of 6,000 square feet and 4,000 square feet of related structures; maximum
capacity of 200 seats.
6. Traffic control shall be provided by law enforcement or an approved provider at times of
significant traffic generation.
7. Trip cap is not to exceed 20 two-way PM peak hour net trips.
8. No private school or day care, except that child care is permitted during religious services.
9. No outdoor amplified sound.
10. The western Type B buffer is shown on the Conceptual Site Plan as 25 feet wide and shall be
enhanced with an additional a row of 10-foot tall understory trees spaced 25 feet on-center
staggered with the buffer canopy trees.

GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) CONSISTENCY:
Future Land Use Element (FLUE): Because the site is in the Urban Estates area of the Golden Gate
Area Master Plan of the Growth Management Plan, the proposed Conditional Use requires a companion
amendment to the Growth Management Plan to allow the use of the property as a church. Comprehensive
Planning staff evaluated the companion GMPA-PL20230012851 and found that churches and other places
of worship are allowed in the Estates, subject to certain location criteria identified in the 2019 last restudy
of Golden Gate Estates. The Restudy reaffirmed the existing residential nature of the land uses
surrounding the I-75 interchange at Golden Gate Parkway and states that there shall be no further
conditional uses for properties abutting Golden Gate Parkway, between Livingston Road and Santa
Barbara Boulevard, except as allowed on specific tracts identified within the conditional use subdistrict
language. This language in the Golden Gate Area Master Plan is crafted in a way that it is clear that the
intent is to restrict the ability for conditional uses to proliferate in areas not intended for these uses or
perceived as overdevelopment. While there are other options for new conditional uses within the Golden
Gate Estates, it is clear that most of them are not specifically dedicated to places of worship or are farther
away from the majority of the congregation; therefore, the proposed change is being requested at the
subject property. Comprehensive Planning Staff believes that the petitioner has provided appropriate and
relevant data and analysis to address the statutory requirements for a Plan Amendment identified below,
and does not feel that this use would be out of scope or character for this corridor; however, it is
withholden from providing a recommendation of approval because of the special provisions applicable to
this portion of Golden Gate Parkway. Comprehensive Planning Staff finds that the amendment to the
Conditional Use subdistrict on the property to allow a church to be inconsistent with the goals and
policies of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan, as well as the specific adopted policy to restrict non-
residential uses on Golden Gate Parkway between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara. Further, Staff
recognizes that a church use would be an allowed use within the Downtown Center Commercial
Subdistrict, approximately within one-half mile to the east of the subject site.
Should the CCPC alternatively make a finding of consistency as part of a recommendation of approval for
the companion GMP Amendment petition PL20230012851, then staff recommends approval of the
Conditional Use subject to the conditions of approval included in the Draft Resolution (Attachment A)
and subject to approval of the companion GMP Amendment and with an effective date linked to the
effective date of the GMP Amendment.
Transportation Element: In evaluating this project, staff reviewed the applicant’s June 19, 2025, Traffic
Impact Statement for consistency with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth
Management Plan (GMP) using the 2024 Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR).
Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the GMP states;
“The County Commission shall review all rezone petitions, SRA designation applications,
conditional use petitions, and proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Element
(FLUE) affecting the overall countywide density or intensity of permissible development,
with consideration of their impact on the overall County transportation system, and shall
not approve any petition or application that would directly access a deficient roadway
segment as identified in the current AUIR or if it impacts an adjacent roadway segment
that is deficient as identified in the current AUIR, or which significantly impacts a
roadway segment or adjacent roadway segment that is currently operating and/or is
projected to operate below an adopted Level of Service Standard within the five year
AUIR planning period, unless specific mitigating stipulations are also approved. A

petition or application has significant impact if the traffic impact statement reveals that
any of the following occur:
a. For links (roadway segments) directly accessed by the project where project traffic is
equal to or exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume;
b. For links adjacent to links directly accessed by the project where project traffic is
equal to or exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume; and
c. For all other links, the project traffic is considered to be significant up to the point
where it is equal to or exceeds 3% of the adopted LOS standard service volume.
Mitigating stipulations shall be based upon a mitigation plan prepared by the
applicant and submitted as part of the traffic impact statement that addresses the
project’s significant impacts on all roadways.”
Staff findings: According to the TIS provided with this petition, the proposed Golden Gate Worship
Center CU will generate a projected total of +/- 20 PM peak hour trips on the adjacent road network. The
trips generated will occur on the following adjacent roadway network links:

1. Source for P.M. Peak Hour/Peak Direction Project Traffic is June 19, 2025. Traffic Impact Statement provided by the
petitioner.
2. Existing deficiency is not due to this development. See State Statute bullet points below. There is a current corridor
study that is expected to be completed within the next 12 months, looking at potential improvements to address the
deficiency.
3. Segment is designated as “Constrained” by policy with a service volume increase +10%.
Florida Statute 163.3180:
Must allow an applicant to enter into a binding agreement to pay or construct their proportionate fair share.
Facilities determined to be deficient with existing, committed, and vested trips plus projected background traffic from any source other than the development shall be removed from the proportionate share calculation.
The improvement necessary to correct this type of deficiency is the funding responsibility of the maintaining entity.
Applicant must receive a credit for the anticipated road impact fees.
The applicant calculated their proportionate share, and it does not exceed the impact fees anticipated to be collected.
Based on the TIS provided by the applicant, the 2024 AUIR and State Statute, the subject Conditional
Use can be found consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the GMP. Transportation
Planning staff finds this petition consistent with the GMP.

November 10, 2025
Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME): Environmental review staff have found this
project to be consistent with the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME). The project site
is 2.81 acres. The property does not contain native vegetation; no preservation is required.
GMP Conclusion: The GMP is the prevailing document to support land use decisions, such as this
proposed Conditional Use. Staff is required to make a recommendation regarding a finding of consistency
or inconsistency with the overall GMP as part of the recommendation for approval, approval with
conditions, or denial of any rezoning petition.
This petition cannot be approved until the companion GMPA is adopted and goes into effect with an
effective date linked to the effective date of the companion GMPA.
STAFF ANALYSIS: Staff has completed a comprehensive evaluation of this land use petition, including
the criteria upon which a recommendation must be based. This evaluation is completed as part of the
Conditional Use Findings provided below. In addition, staff offer the following analyses:
Transportation Review: Transportation Planning staff have reviewed the petition request and is
recommending approval.
Environmental Review: Environmental Services staff have reviewed the Conditional Use petition to
address environmental concerns. The property is devoid of native vegetation; the existing trees onsite do
not meet the native vegetation preservation requirements of LDC Section 3.05.07.A, and as such, no
preservation of native vegetation is required.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC) wildlife data indicates the presence of
Black Bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) in the area. A black bear management plan will need to be
included at time of PPL or SDP review.
Utility Review: The project lies within the regional potable water service area and the Golden Gate
wastewater service area of the Collier County Water-Sewer District (CCWSD). Water and wastewater
services are available via existing infrastructure within the adjacent right-of-way. Sufficient water and
wastewater treatment capacities are available.
Any improvements to the CCWSD’s water or wastewater systems necessary to provide sufficient capacity
to serve the project will be the responsibility of the owner/developer and will be conveyed to the CCWSD
at no cost to the County at the time of utilities acceptance.
Landscape Review: The East buffer is labeled consistent with the LDC. Given the existing septic field
and the parking area that is needed, the label for the North buffer meets the requirement to the greatest
extent practical. Non-residential development on sites subject to the policies of the Golden Gate Area
Master Plan are required to provide a 75’ wide buffer consisting of retained native vegetation and a Type
B buffer where adjacent to residential lots. This petition is a companion item to a Growth Management
Plan Amendment that defines enhanced buffering adjacent to the residential lot to the west, based on the
subject site lacking any native vegetation. Given the existing site constraints created by the east setback
and existing septic field, and the enhancements described in Condition 10, staff recommends approval.

November 10, 2025
Conditional Use Findings: Before any Conditional Use recommendation can be offered to the Board of
Zoning Appeals (BZA), the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) must make findings that: 1)
approval of the Conditional Use will not adversely affect the public; and 2) all specific requirements for
the individual Conditional Use will be met; and 3) satisfactory provisions have been made concerning the
following matters, where applicable:
1. Section 2.03.01 B.1.c.1 of the LDC identifies churches as permissible conditional uses in the
Estates zoning district.
Churches are permissible as conditional uses in the E, Estates zoning district, subject to the
requirements of LDC Section 10.08.00 Conditional Use Procedures; however, a church is not
allowable at the subject site per locational standards of the Urban Estates Sub-Element of the Golden
Gate Estates Area Master Plan of the Growth Management Plan. This petition cannot be approved
until the companion GMPA is adopted and goes into effect with an effective date linked to the
effective date of the companion GMPA.
2. Consistency with the Land Development Code (LDC) and the Growth Management Plan
(GMP).
This property is zoned E-CMO, and the proposed Conceptual Site Plan indicates conformance with
the development standards of the Estates (E) zoning district and applicable standards of the Corridor
Management Overlay.
Churches are permissible as conditional uses in the E, Estates zoning district, subject to the
requirements of LDC Section 10.08.00 Conditional Use Procedures; however, a church is not
allowable at the subject site per locational standards of the Urban Estates Sub-Element of the Golden
Gate Estates Area Master Plan of the Growth Management Plan. This petition cannot be approved
until the companion GMPA is adopted and goes into effect with an effective date linked to the
effective date of the companion GMPA.
3. Ingress and egress to the property and proposed structures thereon, with particular reference
to automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and access in
case of fire or catastrophe.
A right in/right out access drive is proposed along Golden Gate Parkway, and a potential
interconnection is proposed to the ABLE Academy private school to the east. The two-way
ingress/egress conforms to the minimum separation of 330 feet from the nearest intersection
measured from intersecting right-of-way lines required per LDC Section 4.02.24. Conditions of
approval #6 and #7 included in Exhibit C of the Draft Resolution (Attachment A) require traffic
control by law enforcement or an approved provider at times of significant traffic generation, and
maximum trips generated by the church are limited to 20 two-way PM peak hour net trips.
Transportation Planning staff finds this petition consistent with the GMP. Operational impacts will
be addressed at time of first development order (SDP or Plat), at which time a new Traffic Impact
Statement will be required to demonstrate turning movements for all site access. Finally, the project
must comply with all other applicable concurrency management regulations when development
approvals, including but not limited to any plats and or site development plans, are sought.

4. The effect the Conditional Use would have on neighboring properties in relation to noise, glare,
economic, or odor effects.
The proposed site will comply with the Land Development Code requirements for perimeter
landscape buffers and will satisfy the required 75-foot setbacks on the north and south sides of the
property and the 30-foot setbacks on the east and west sides of the property. A 25-foot wide Type B
enhanced landscape buffer is proposed along the west property line to mitigate for impacts on the
adjacent residential property. Conditions of approval included as Exhibit C in the Draft Resolution
(Attachment A) compatibility with limits on outdoor lighting, hours of operation, seating capacity,
trip generation, no private school or day care except childcare is permitted during religious services,
and no outdoor amplified sound.
5. Compatibility with adjacent properties and other properties in the district.
The adjacent properties in properties in the surrounding area are a mix of single family residences,
churches and a social club approved as Conditional Uses, and the Collier County Behavioral Health
Center Community Facilities Planned Unit Development (CFPUD). The proposed church will be an
intensification of use compared to the existing single family home on the site, and the applicable
development standards of the Estates zoning district and the Corridor Management Overlay district
will apply so that the church conforms to the relative height, setbacks, signage, landscaping and
buffering requirements. In addition, the proposed ten conditions of approval limit outdoor lighting,
hours of operation, seating capacity, trip generation, no private school or day care except child care is
permitted during religious services, and no outdoor amplified sound. The proposed conformance with
applicable development standards of the Estates zoning district and the Corridor Management
Overlay district, the proposed enhanced buffer along the west property line, and the other proposed
conditional of approval will help provide for compatibility with adjacent properties and other property
in the surrounding area.
Based on the above findings, and contingent on a finding of consistency and recommendation of
approval for companion GMP Amendment petition PL20230012851, zoning staff recommends
approval of this conditional use subject to the proposed conditions of approval included as Exhibit C
in the Draft Resolution (Attachment A) and subject to the companion GMPA being adopted and
going into effect with an effective date linked to the effective date of the companion GMPA.
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL (EAC) RECOMMENDATION: This project does not
require an Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) review, as this project did not meet the EAC scope of
land development project reviews as identified in Section 2-1193 of the Collier County Codes of Laws
and Ordinances. Environmental Services staff recommend approval.
NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING (NIM): The NIM was held on July 15, 2025, at
Golden Gate Community Center, 4701 Golden Gate Parkway, Naples, FL 34116. The meeting
commenced at approximately 6:30 p.m. and ended at 7:06 p.m. Two attendees were present in addition to
the applicant representatives and County staff.
The agent explained the request for the conditional use petition and companion Growth Management Plan
Amendment, explaining that the ultimate plan proposed for the property is to expand the existing home of
approximately 2,300 square feet to 6,000 square feet to accommodate up to 200 seats for church services.
The neighboring property owner asked questions about the design and expansion of the existing
residential dwelling, how close it may be extended to the western property line, and how historic flooding
onto her property will be controlled. The agent explained the side setback is 30 feet, and maximum
Page 13864 of 14062
CU-PL20230010505; Golden Gate Worship Center Conditional Use Page 11 of 11

building height is 30 feet, and detention areas will be designed to address drainage requirements. See
Attachment C for the NIM documentation.
COUNTY ATTORNEY OFFICE REVIEW: The County Attorney's Office reviewed this staff report
on October 30, 2025.
RECOMMENDATION: Contingent on a finding of consistency and recommendation of approval for
companion GMP Amendment petition PL20230012851, staff recommends that the Collier County
Planning Commission (CCPC) recommend approval of Petition CU-PL20230010505, Golden Gate
Worship Center, to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) subject to the conditions of approval included in
the Draft Resolution and subject to approval of the companion GMP Amendment and with an effective
date linked to the effective date of the GMP Amendment.

Pursuant to LDC section 10.08.00 and Chapter 3 C.1 of the Administrative Code, staff’s recommendation to the reviewing body shall be based upon a finding that the granting of the conditional use will not adversely affect the public interest and that the specific requirements governing the individual conditional use, if any, have been met. Further, satisfactory provision and arrangement have been made concerning the following matters, where applicable. Provide a narrative statement describing a request for a conditional use and a detailed response to the criteria listed below. Specify how and why the request is consistent with each of the criteria.
Narrative
The applicant is proposing to obtain Conditional Use #1 of the Estates Zoning District for a
church on the subject 2.8+/- acre site. The proposed church would be a maximum of 6,000
square feet in size and accommodate a maximum of 200 congregants. A fellowship hall
(multi-purpose) accessory facility of a maximum of 4,000 square feet is also proposed to be
developed on the site. Outdoor play areas are also proposed for the site. No school or day
care uses are proposed
The site is currently developed with a 2,000+/- square feet single family residence and a
1,000+/- square feet out building which would be repurposed into the church and
fellowship hall facilities for the Les Voyageurs Celestes Pentecostal Worship Center. Prior to
the purchase of the property by the church, the site was previously utilized as a residence
and a commercial landscape nursery.
A companion small-scale Growth Management Plan amendment application has been filed
in order to modify the Golden Gate Area Master Plan, Urban Golden Gate Estates Sub-
Element to permit a church and related religious facility on the subject property as a
conditional use. a. Describe how the project is consistent with the Collier County Land Development Code and Growth Management Plan. Include information on how the request is consistent with the applicable section or portions of the Future Land Use Element.
The current zoning on the property is E, Estates-Corridor Management Overlay. The subject
property will remain zoned E, Estates should the Board of County Commissioners approve
the proposed Conditional Use for the church use.
Under the current Urban Golden Gate Estates Sub-Element of the Golden Gate Area Master
Plan, the site is not eligible for a conditional use. The companion small-scale amendment
modifies the text of the plan (Golden Gate Parkway Special Provisions and Special
Exceptions to Location Criteria) to permit the church and related facilities on the subject
site. The accompanying map identifying the location of the property will also be amended
as part of the GMPA.
Once the companion small-scale amendment is approved, the conditional use application
for the church use will be deemed consistent with the Growth Management Plan, Urban
Golden Gate Estates Sub-Element.
Page 13890 of 14062
June 30, 2025 Page 2 of 4
Evaluation Criteria_r1.docx
The conditional use application is subject to the overall Collier County Growth Management
Plan. Policy 5.6 of the Future Land Use Element requires that new development is
compatible with and complementary to surrounding development.
The proposed small congregation church use is compatible with the surrounding
development along the Golden Gate Parkway corridor. The property immediately to the
east is developed with a use known as the Able Academy. That property obtained a
conditional use in 1993 for the Step by Step Child Development Center. The Able Academy
operates a private special needs school for ages 3 through early adulthood. The church
proposes a future interconnection with the Able Academy. Immediately north across Golden
Gate Parkway is the Naples Bridge Center, which also received a small-scale GMP
amendment and conditional use.
The proposed conditional use site plan has been designed to be compatible with the
residential neighbors located to the west and south of the property. In addition to retaining
existing native vegetation along the common property lines, a Type B, 15’ wide landscape
buffer is proposed adjacent to these residential properties consistent with the buffering
required by the land development code. The existing and proposed church structures will
meet the required building setbacks for the E, Estates Zoning District. The site plan has also
been designed to limit parking to the areas near Golden Gate Parkway and Able academy.
Grass parking will also be provided as allowed by the Land Development Code to limit
impervious areas on the site. The proposed outdoor play areas will not be lighted and are
not designed for use for organized play.
Further, the church has proposed a set of conditions that limit hours of operation, lighting,
outdoor amplified sound, and has prohibited day care activities on the site.
The County has adopted Objective 7 and implementing Policies 7.1 through 7.4, which relate
to smart growth in our community.
Policy 7.1: The County shall encourage developers and property owners to connect their
properties to fronting collector and arterial roads, except where no such connection can be
made without violating intersection spacing requirements of the Land Development Code.
The project will connect directly to Golden Gate Parkway and utilize a right-turn lane
that also serves the adjacent Able Academy. A potential interconnection to the Able
Academy has been identified on the Conditional Use Site Plan.
Policy 7.2: The County shall encourage internal accesses or loop roads in an effort to help reduce
vehicle congestion on nearby collector and arterial roads and minimize the need for traffic
signals.
Due to the property frontage on Golden Gate Parkway, there is not enough separation
to provide a second access to Golden Gate Parkway. A potential interconnection has
been identified with the adjacent Able Academy.
Policy 7.3: All new and existing developments shall be encouraged to connect their local streets
and/or interconnection points with adjoining neighborhoods or other developments regardless
Page 13891 of 14062
June 30, 2025 Page 3 of 4
Evaluation Criteria_r1.docx
of land use type. The interconnection of local streets between developments is also addressed in
Policy 9.3 of the Transportation Element.
Surrounding properties to the west and south are single-family residential dwellings
and connection through those properties would not be appropriate. The church is
proposing a potential interconnection with the Able Academy.
Policy 7.4: The County shall encourage new developments to provide walkable communities
with a blend of densities, common open spaces, civic facilities and a range of housing prices and
types.
The civic use will provide pedestrian facilities on-site and access to the existing
sidewalk in Golden Gate Parkway will be provided.
The site has been previously cleared and only scattered palm and pine trees exist on the site.
Native trees will be retained to the greatest extent possible.
b. Describe the existing or planned means of ingress and egress to the property and proposed structure thereon with particular reference to automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and access in case of fire or catastrophe.
A turn lane exists on Golden Gate Parkway which will be utilized by the church. Traffic
volumes associated with the church are very low and occur off-peak hours.
The conditional use site plan depicts the internal circulation which provides for both paved
and grass parking. The internal circulation provides safe and convenient access for safety
service vehicles. c. Describe the effect the conditional use will have on neighboring properties in relation to noise, glare, economic impact, and odor.
The church use should have no impact on surrounding properties with regard to noise,
glare, economic or odor. The church will have limited hours for services during the week,
which are limited to two evenings per week for typical religious services. The size of the
sanctuary is limited to a maximum of 200 congregants and the traffic associated with the
church occurs off-peak. The proposed conditions of approval require shielded parking
lighting, prohibition on any outdoor amplified sound and a Type B landscape buffer will be
installed where adjacent to the adjoining residential use. Other non-residential uses have
been established along Golden Gate Parkway without any economic impact on nearby
residentially used properties. This site previously was utilized as a wholesale landscape
operation which utilized large vehicles and had outdoor landscape material storage. The
proposed church use will have no impact on the neighboring properties.
d. Describe the site’s and the proposed use’s compatibility with adjacent properties and other properties in the district.
The proposed small congregation church use is compatible with the surrounding
development along the Golden Gate Parkway corridor. The property immediately to the east
is developed with a use known as the Able Academy. That property obtained a conditional
use in 1993 for the Step by Step Child Development Center. The Able Academy operates a
private school for ages 3 through early adulthood. A potential interconnection is proposed

on the plan. The church and private school do not operate at the same times; therefore,
there is no conflict in their operation.
This corridor between I-75 and Santa Barbara Boulevard has developed over time with
several non-residential land uses such as the David Lawrence Center, several small
churches, childcare center and the Naples Bridge Center. An exhibit identifying these non-
residential uses in the vicinity is included in this submittal.
The proposed conditional use site plan has been designed to be compatible with the
residential neighbors located to the west and south of the property. In addition to retaining
existing native vegetation along the common property lines, a Type B, 15’ wide landscape
buffer is proposed adjacent to these residential properties consistent with the buffering
required by the land development code. The existing and proposed church structures will
meet the required building setbacks for the E, Estates Zoning District. The site plan has also
been designed to limit parking to the areas near Golden Gate Parkway and Able academy.
Grass parking will also be provided as allowed by the Land Development Code to limit
impervious areas on the site. The proposed outdoor play area will not be lighted and is not
designed for use for organized play.
Further, the church has proposed a set of conditions that limit hours of operation, requires
cut-off fixtures for outdoor lighting, outdoor amplified sound is prohibited, and has
prohibited day care activities on the site. Even though services are held at non-peak times
with regard to traffic, the church has proposed a condition that requires use of law
enforcement for dismissal should Collier County require that measure for safety.
Historically, churches are integrated into communities and serve as stabilizing land uses.
The site will provide landscape buffers which meet the County’s Land Development Code
adjacent to the three residential neighbors. e. Please provide any additional information which you may feel is relevant to this request.
Prior to acquisition of the property by the Church, they obtained a zoning verification letter
from Collier County which indicated that a church could be permitted on the property
through the conditional use process. The zoning verification letter failed to indicate that
conditional uses are prohibited at this location due to conditional use location restrictions
found in the Golden Gate Area Master Plan. The CU application and companion small-scale
plan amendment will permit the church to be established at this location on Golden Gate
Parkway.

Mr. Blackburn
Collier Realty & Management
1415 Panther Lane #443
Naples, FL. 34108
ZLTR-PL20220007646: Zoning Verification Letter for 5890 Golden Gate Parkway, aka, Golden Gate Estates
Unit 30 West 180-feet of Tract 76 in Section 29, Township 49, Range 26 of unincorporated Collier County,
Florida. Folio #38166680006 is comprised of ±2.81 acres.
Mr. Blackburn,
This letter is in response to a Zoning Verification Letter (ZLTR) Application that you submitted on or
about December 15, 2022. The applicant has requested verification of the questions listed below in bold
print which are followed by staff’s responses. Documentation supporting staff’s responses follows this
letter.
Zoning:
The current official zoning atlas, an element of the Collier County Land Development Code (LDC),
Ordinance 04-41, as amended, lists the property as being in an Estates (E) Base Zoning District with a
Corridor Management Overlay (CMO).
Question:
1. Can a church be built on the subject property?
Churches are a Conditional Use (CU) is Estates Zoning (LDC 2.03.01.B.1.c.1). A Conditional Use
application is included with this letter. All applications are now submitted through the Growth
Management Portal at https://cvportal.colliercountyfl.gov/CityViewWeb/Home/.
LDC 2.03.07.A.1 notes that CMO regulations apply to the subject property for 330 feet from the right-
of-way line perpendicular to Golden Gate Parkway. The overlay will implement the urban design
concepts developed in the corridor management study for Goodlette-Frank Road and Golden Gate
Parkway. LDC 4.02.24 includes specific regulations for setbacks, ingress/egress, and signs in the CMO.
Both of these sections of the LDC are included with this letter.
2. What are the permitted land uses?
LDC 2.03.01 (included) lists permitted, accessory and conditional uses in the Estates.
3. What are the setbacks?
Sets are dependent on type of use and are defined in LDC 4.02.24 or 4.02.01 (included).
4. What is the commercial capacity?
Commercial uses are limited to what is in LDC 2.03.01. A Comparable Use Determination

2.03.01 - Agricultural Districts.
B. Estate District (E). The purpose and intent of the estates district (E) is to provide lands for low
density residential development in a semi-rural to rural environment, with limited agricultural
activities. In addition to low density residential development with limited agricultural activities, the E
district is also designed to accommodate as conditional uses, development that provides services
for and is compatible with the low density residential, semi-rural and rural character of the E district.
The E district corresponds to and implements the estates land use designation on the future land use
map of the Collier County GMP, although, in limited instances, it may occur outside of the estates
land use designation. The maximum density permissible in the E district shall be consistent with and
not exceed the density permissible or permitted under the estates district of the future land use
element of the Collier County GMP as provided under the Golden Gate Master Plan.
1. The following subsections identify the uses that are permissible by right and the uses that are
allowable as accessory or conditional uses in the estates district (E).

7. Excavation and related processing and production subject to the following criteria:
i. These activities are incidental to the permitted used onsite.
ii. The amount of excavated material to be removed from the site cannot exceed
4,000 cubic yards total. Amounts in excess of 4,000 cubic yards shall require
conditional use approval for earth mining, pursuant to the procedures and

2.03.07 Overlay Zoning Districts
A. Corridor Management Overlay (CMO).
1. The purpose of the (CMO) district is to supplement existing zoning regulations for properties bordering
Golden Gate Parkway west of Santa Barbara Boulevard and Goodlette-Frank Road south of Pine Ridge
Road. The CMO district will implement the urban design concepts developed in the corridor
management study for Goodlette-Frank Road and Golden Gate Parkway. These regulations recognize
that two (2) separate jurisdictions govern land uses in these corridors and are designed to develop
greater consistency in design standards between Collier County and the City of Naples.
2. These regulations apply to all properties adjacent to the rights-of-way of Goodlette-Frank Road from
U.S. 41 to Pine Ridge Road and Golden Gate Parkway from U.S. 41 to Santa Barbara Boulevard as
measured perpendicular from the abutting right-of-way for a distance of 330 feet. Except as provided
in this regulation, all other use, dimensional, and development requirements shall be as required in the
underlying zoning categories.

Wayne Arnold: 00:00 Good evening everybody. I'm Wayne Arnold. I'm a planner with
Grady Minor and Associates, and with me tonight is Sharon
Umpenhour from our office. She'll be doing the audiovisual and
recording the meeting. This is Jim Banks, our traffic engineer.
We have Pastor Jean Paul back there, and I think you two ladies
know him. The other folks are here associated with the church
in some manner, I believe. So we have Laura DeJohn, who's with
the county zoning department handling the conditional use
application, and we have Maria Estrada who's handling the
comprehensive plan amendment and I guess overseeing both
applications in some extent for the county. They're here
observing.
Speaker 2: 00:38 You work for the county?
Wayne Arnold: 00:39 Yes, both ladies here work at Collier County. So we're here
tonight for two applications that we filed for the property at
5890 Golden Gate Parkway. We have a small scale growth
management plan amendment that we filed. We have to amend
the Golden Gate master plan. There's a provision that does not
allow any additional conditional uses on that corridor between
Livingston Road and Santa Barbara. So we have to amend that
and a map to show that we would have a conditional use on this
site. And then we filed a conditional use application which
would allow for the church use under the Estates Zoning. So
we're not really changing the Estates Zoning on the property,
but we are trying to authorize a church to be allowed on the
subject property.
01:20 So you're a neighbor, so you're well familiar with the site, it's
about 2.8 acres. There's a house on there that's a little over, I
don't know, 2,300 square feet and there's an out building back
there that's several hundred square feet and we're in the
process to try to... This is a map we created to show you all the
other things going around us that are related. You all obviously
know what's going on in your area, but there's a lot of other
non-residential uses. Our firm has been involved with the Bridge
Center and some work for Kitty Corral over the years and David
Lawrence Center and things like that.
01:56 So this just says we're under the Golden Gate Master Plan
today, under the Urban Estates Area and we're doing the two
revisions, one for the master plan and one for the conditional
use. The language, I apologize for, I didn't realize this was just a
regular screen, but the provision that we're changing, it's adding
something that just says we're going to allow conditional use
with related facilities and then it gives the legal description for
Page 14002 of 14062
Golden Gate Worship Center GMPA and CU (PL20230012851 and PL20230010505)
July 15, 2025 NIM Transcript

the church property and it says we're going to be restricted to a
maximum 6,000 square feet for any church and then a total of
4,000 square feet for any other related uses.
02:33 So that would allow the pastor to expand. We've asked for
congregation size 200 seats for the sanctuary and so they've got
plans that they hired a contractor to look at that and they can fit
a good number of people in the house, but it would need to be
expanded to reach the 200. So we've made provisions for them
to be able to expand a little bit to the south to expand the size
of the house to become a larger sanctuary. And then what
would become the outbuilding barn that's there could be
modified into a future fellowship hall or meeting space for
themselves.
03:10 This is just one of the map exhibits and I'm not going to spend
any time on that. This is our conceptual site plan that we
prepared. I'm going to walk through the screens. Sorry about
that. I'm going to point over here. So just to orient you to the
site, access is on Golden Gate Parkway. There's an access
deceleration lane that serves ABLE Academy, which is here. We
approached them about using their driveway connection to
access our site this way. They were very cordial, very nice, but
until we're established, they didn't feel very comfortable
allowing us to share their driveway and facilities, so we kept the
potential there by having a potential interconnection with
them. But for the time being, we'll have to have an independent
access, and working with Jim Banks and county transportation
staff, we'll probably have to extend the turn lane that's there a
little bit in order to achieve the proper deceleration length that
the county establishes and things like that.
Speaker 2: 04:11 Are you talking about pulling the turn lane from the ABLE
Academy or whatever it's called back towards your property?
Wayne Arnold: 04:17 It would be, turn lane would remain where it is. It would just be
extended to the west than where it is now. If it stops about
here, we probably would have to extend it to the edge of our
property. Just to orient you to the site, so the access point is
here. We've made provisions for some parking up front. There's
a septic tank there now. Don't really know exactly the limits of
the septic tank, so the parking is generally configured there.
This is the residence that would be the future church.
04:45 So the church building, we've allowed for expansion to the
south where we can grow. We have setback issues to the west
and to the east. So we have provisions to grow in this direction

to get to the 6,000 square feet. Again, the fellowship building is
located here, which is the barn shed that's there and that could
be expanded. And then we made provisions for parking
throughout the site and then we labeled this as some future
parking if we needed some overflow and then a small outdoor
recreational facility for children during church hours or
something there. And again, the interconnection would be with
ABLE Academy there.
05:28 One of the things that we do for conditional use applications,
the county asks us to establish conditions of approval. So the
conditional use is so named because it's approved with
conditions. So we've outlined a series of 10 conditions here that
have been presented and going back and forth with staff.
They're not finalized, but it says that we're going to be subject
to the master plan that I showed you. We've established church
hours that are 7:00 to 9:00 for church offices for instance, and
then we established worship hours for Saturday, Sunday, and
then during the week. Currently, they operate a Wednesday
evening service, but obviously things occur and they may need
to have services on other dates other than Wednesdays. We've
limited ourselves here to the 6,000 square feet church, 4,000
square feet of renovated structures and a maximum of 200
people for the seating capacity.
06:22 There's a provision that says, if we have a service that requires a
lot of traffic generation, the county may ask us to hire an off-
duty deputy or police officer to help manage traffic on a day to
relieve people from this facility. That's typical of every church
facility that gets approved in the county, that condition. We've
established a trip cap, which Jim established. So the maximum
trip number, it's really, it's a low number by county standards.
It's 20 new net trips in a peak hour. Most-
Speaker 2: 06:54 What does that mean?
Wayne Arnold: 06:55 Jim, do you want to explain what that means in layman terms?
Jim Banks: 07:02 It basically means that what you can expect between the hours
of 4:00 and 6:00 P.M. in the evenings is that this church would
generate no more than 20 total trips. That includes somebody
that might come to the site and exit the site. And that typically
for churches does not happen five days a week. It's usually if
they have a Bible study or something like that, that's when they
would generate that kind of traffic. But based upon surveys of
other similar churches' land uses, we can estimate that this
church would generate no more than 20 P.M. peak hour trips.

Wayne Arnold: 07:42 And that's on weekdays only. The county doesn't measure
[inaudible 00:07:45].
Jim Banks: 07:45 And that would be on a weekday. That's not the Sunday service.
And again, in this case, it would probably be something like a
Bible study or something like that, a one night a week type thing
that would generate that type of traffic. So it's a low traffic
generator, so that's not a lot of traffic in an hour.
Wayne Arnold: 07:59 Thanks, Jim. The other thing we've put on here a provision that
there's no private school or daycare associated with this facility.
Obviously, they can have child care during the church services,
but there's no separate child care facility. There's a separate
conditional use application for that and we did not make
application for that. So it's explicit that this is only during the
church service hours that they could have their child care
component. So if you're there with your children, they can have
a room with child care.
08:30 No outdoor amplified sound is permitted. That's one of our
proposed conditions. And again, I should say these are in flux
because the county hasn't completed its review, so they may
ask for us to change these, modify them. That's why we've
shared some contact information at the end of this so you can
stay plugged in. And the last one that's on there is the western
buffer between your house and this one, it has to be confirmed
with the site improvements for the site to convert it to the
church. And it says that we'll be planting a buffer hedge at least
five feet in height at the time of planting and maintained at
eight feet in height. So really, the county requires a Type B
buffer between the church and your house and the Type B
buffer can include a hedge or a wall or a combination of that
and a berm, etc. In the 15 feet that we have, we proposed the
hedge. I think it's softer and nicer to me than a wall for-
Speaker 2: 09:28 What do you mean the 15 feet?
Wayne Arnold: 09:29 It's 15 feet wide. So the width from the property line east in this
case it would be a 15-foot-wide area that would be planted with
the trees and shrub.
Speaker 2: 09:39 Oh, okay.
Wayne Arnold: 09:41 So those are our proposed conditions of approval. And like I
said, those are still subject to some refinement, but obviously
you've got a dialogue with the pastor and you know how to get
in touch with us, so if we need to talk about any of those
Page 14005 of 14062

specifically with you, we'd be happy to. Our next steps are, we
received our initial review comment letters on both applications
from the county and we're prepared to respond to those.
Thought we would hold off until after this meeting. We sent out
thousands of mail notices because the mail notice area is a mile.
So we didn't know if we would gain people from Windermere
and Berkshire Lakes and other parts, so we just thought, "Let's
hold off in case we have a lot of folks show up and there are a
lot of questions and we may need to refine something before
we resubmit."
10:26 But no hearings have been established yet, but when they do,
it'll be heard by the Collier County Planning Commission and
they make a formal recommendation to the Board of County
Commissioners and then the Board of County Commissioners
will hear the item and they'll make the final decision on whether
to approve the church or approve it with a set of conditions that
may or not be exactly those.
Speaker 2: 10:47 You're going to be noticing me and other neighbors?
Wayne Arnold: 10:48 So this was our notice to meeting. The County Planning
Commission, they send out their own separate notices. We have
to post a sign on the site. So you'll see one of the zoning signs
that goes up in front of it and it'll have a date on it and the time
of the meetings, et cetera, once those are posted. But one of
the other things, this is our last slide, we'll leave you with that
and you can either take a picture or I'm happy to give you... I
have one clean copy of the presentation that I can leave with
you and this basically has Sharon's contact information. It has
the county's contact information, it has the application number,
and you can either go to our website and link to everything
that's live time with what gets submitted back to the county or
you can go to the county's portal and see exactly what they
recommend. So that's, in a nutshell, our presentation. Happy to
answer any questions.
Speaker 2: 11:39 Are we the only neighbors that came?
Wayne Arnold: 11:39 You are.
Speaker 2: 11:39 Oh, geez. You spent a lot of money for this. I'm sorry about that.
Wayne Arnold: 11:46 It's okay. That's why we do it. It's one of the required meetings
that the county has and sometimes they're very well attended
and sometimes they're not, and it's just the process.

Speaker 2: 11:58 So I don't see any picture of what you plan to do in terms of
expanding the house.
Wayne Arnold: 12:04 I don't think they're-
Speaker 2: 12:07 Is there anything coming toward the west?
Wayne Arnold: 12:09 No, I don't think so. The setback in the Estates is 30 feet. The
house is just a little past 30 feet right now, so I don't think
there's any room to grow at the west. There is room to grow a
tad to the north and look to the east and then to the south. But
I think the pastor, the immediate plans are to go in and make
some very minimal alterations necessary to the interior of the
building, maybe some enhancements on the outside of it to
pretty it up. And I think we shared with you a set of those early
drawings when we met and those have not changed. I don't
think they've had any-
Speaker 2: 12:43 I think you were coming 10 or 15 feet toward my house-
Wayne Arnold: 12:45 Were we?
Speaker 2: 12:46 At that point.
Wayne Arnold: 12:47 Oh, okay. If we are, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that. I'll have to go
back and look at that. But those plans have not changed. But I'll
have to take-
Speaker 2: 12:58 So what's the plan with the house then to turn it into a 200-
person sanctuary? In simple terms, what is it going to look like?
Wayne Arnold: 13:07 Well, they're going to have to do some enhancements to the
building itself to meet some of the county's non-residential
standards with windows and glazing and handicap accessibility
and those kinds of things. So do you still have that set of plans?
Speaker 2: 13:25 Yeah, I have them.
Wayne Arnold: 13:26 Because I can forward those to you again if you'd like, just so
we're all on the same page and if we need to sit down again and
look at those and just... But the plan that I remember it had,
when you walk in, it would be a sanctuary and they'd taken out
some of the walls and put in a common bathroom for instance,
and the kitchen area came out and there were pews and things
oriented toward a small stage altar area in the middle of-

Speaker 2: 13:50 I vaguely remember that. Is the house going to expand then
toward the south and east?
Wayne Arnold: 13:58 Eventually. But Pastor, I don't think you're expanding the
footprint of the house initially in your first phase, right?
Pastor Paul: 14:03 Well, now?
Wayne Arnold: 14:04 Yes.
Pastor Paul: 14:04 No, it just stays the way it is.
Speaker 2: 14:05 Your extension is inside the house?
Pastor Paul: 14:05 The inside. We're not planning [inaudible 00:14:11].
Wayne Arnold: 14:10 They may have to make some cosmetic improvements.
Speaker 2: 14:12 [inaudible 00:14:12] take out walls?
Wayne Arnold: 14:15 So we have to record this. Can you just make sure we can hear
you when you ask the question?
Laura DeJohn: 14:23 Sure. She's hearing an ultimate to 6,000 square feet and she's
asking how does that look?
Wayne Arnold: 14:26 So I don't know exactly what that looks like because we haven't
drawn anything for that.
Laura DeJohn: 14:30 Would it be accurate to say the house today at 2,000-ish square
feet could triple in size or it could go two-story?
Wayne Arnold: 14:41 I think it's around 2,300 square feet now, so it could grow to
6,000 total square feet with that sanctuary building. But I think
our limits are...
Speaker 2: 14:49 [inaudible 00:14:50].
Wayne Arnold: 14:49 [inaudible 00:14:50] out.
Speaker 2: 14:49 So that's what I'm asking. If you're going to go from 2,300 to
6,000 square feet, which way are you going to do that?
Wayne Arnold: 14:49 Well, I think primarily you can only grow to the south because
you have to have parking on the east and drive aisle to get to
the back there.

Speaker 2: 14:49 Oh, so it'll eventually connect to the building behind the house?
Wayne Arnold: 15:19 It could. We showed [inaudible 00:15:20]. If we had a projector
that was working, I would show you the plan.
Speaker 2: 15:21 Don't worry, I know where [inaudible 00:15:22].
Jim Banks: 15:21 [inaudible 00:15:22] a projector.
Wayne Arnold: 15:21 You know what? I may have a set of those initial plans
[inaudible 00:15:22].
Jim Banks: 15:21 I got a hammer [inaudible 00:15:22].
Wayne Arnold: 15:22 So I'll share those with you. So there's going to be some facade
improvements on the front of the house just to make it look
more church-like, obviously.
Speaker 2: 15:42 Sure.
Wayne Arnold: 15:42 And then the Estates, there's a 30-foot height limit, so can't
grow too tall. Same as any residential house.
Speaker 2: 15:47 Then it's a two-story?
Wayne Arnold: 15:48 Could be.
Speaker 2: 15:48 Could be?
Wayne Arnold: 15:50 Yeah. But I don't think you have plans to go two-story at this
point. These plans, if you can see, the front door stays here. This
becomes all sanctuary area with a stage back here and then that
becomes bathrooms and a small common area.
Speaker 2: 16:02 Can I take a quick picture?
Wayne Arnold: 16:05 Take the whole thing [inaudible 00:16:06]. Take it.
Speaker 2: 16:06 Oh, thanks.
Wayne Arnold: 16:09 You can take those. I can print out as many of those as I need.
But I'm sorry, I don't have the details on what happens when it
does grow to the maximum, but we wanted to establish some
maximums. That's double-sided unfortunately. Just so you
know.

Speaker 2: 16:23 It's okay. I'm just trying to figure out, do you have any idea what
a 6,000 square-foot would like?
Laura DeJohn: 16:29 Well again, I don't know the exact plans for this site, but in
trying to understand the magnitude, that's where I came up
with almost triple in size would take you from 2,000
approximately to 6,000, approximately triple.
Speaker 2: 16:47 And when you measure square feet, it's on the ground, right?
So 6,000 square feet is outward and upward is just a bonus?
Wayne Arnold: 16:54 If it was more than one story, it would be each level. You could
achieve 6,000 square feet with a 3,000 square foot first floor
and a 3,000 square foot second floor, for instance.
Laura DeJohn: 17:04 It's called gross square feet. It's not just the floor area on the
ground, it's gross square feet. So if it was two stories he said it
would...
Wayne Arnold: 17:11 But that plan, I don't know that that grows the building. Maybe
it does. I don't recall it growing that building.
Speaker 2: 17:17 I don't remember it doing that.
Wayne Arnold: 17:18 But I'll take a look at that more closely and let you know for
sure.
Speaker 2: 17:21 I think these were just within the original design.
Wayne Arnold: 17:24 Pretty much. I think there's a covered front porch area that gets
built up to have a stoop over the front door and some other
improvements. We didn't do those plans. The contractor
prepared those.
Speaker 2: 17:35 I don't see anything beyond the footprint of what's already
here.
Wayne Arnold: 17:38 It's pretty close.
Speaker 2: 17:39 Maybe I'm missing that. I don't know.
Laura DeJohn: 17:40 But your concept plan, it is a little hard, but it probably has
bubbles that say there could be the growing [inaudible
00:17:47]-

Wayne Arnold: 17:47 We don't depict the existing footprint in that envelope. I guess
that's something we could modify to show the existing building
inside the 6,000 square feet, for instance.
Laura DeJohn: 17:56 Maybe, yeah.
Wayne Arnold: 17:57 Maybe.
Speaker 2: 17:59 I'll turn this way so it'll hopefully record. If you grow to 6,000
square feet, is your thought to go higher or back toward the
other building? Have you already thought about what you might
want it to look like?
Pastor Paul: 18:11 This step I have to speak to the engineer.
Wayne Arnold: 18:14 Pastor, can you speak up? We have to record this.
Pastor Paul: 18:16 In this case, I say I have to speak to the engineer to find out the
best way to do it.
Speaker 2: 18:28 Okay.
Pastor Paul: 18:28 What's most likely what I see, we would never go to the west.
We would never touch the west. You see what I mean? Toward
your house. Because not enough space. We have to go either
from the house to the back of the back building. That's where
we would go.
Speaker 2: 18:36 Okay.
Pastor Paul: 18:36 See what I said, Mr. Wayne?
Wayne Arnold: 18:36 Yes.
Pastor Paul: 18:36 From the house to the back.
Wayne Arnold: 18:44 Let's look at it. We'll get the survey and-
Speaker 2: 18:46 So you were saying that the house is already a little beyond the
30-foot that it's supposed to be, so you can't go to the west
anymore?
Wayne Arnold: 18:52 I don't think... We can't go closer than 30 feet.
Speaker 2: 18:55 To the west?
Wayne Arnold: 18:56 To the west

Speaker 2: 18:57 No matter what?
Wayne Arnold: 18:57 No matter what.
Speaker 2: 18:59 Okay. You want additional questions? I had a couple I wrote
down.
Wayne Arnold: 19:07 Sure. Yeah. We didn't answer them please, this is a good time to
ask them.
Speaker 2: 19:10 I have to look and see if I did or not.
Wayne Arnold: 19:14 As long as I don't need to bring back up the presentation
because, for whatever reason, we can show it on the screen to
you. We can do that.
Speaker 2: 19:23 If this conditional use permit is approved, what happens if they
sell the property to somebody else? Do they automatically
inherit the conditional use permit?
Wayne Arnold: 19:34 They do. It runs with the land, but they're still subject to the set
of conditions, have to abide by those.
Pastor Paul: 19:41 As you know, we're not planning to sell it.
Speaker 2: 19:50 Good.
Pastor Paul: 19:50 That would be the last option for us.
Speaker 2: 19:51 Good. You've been a good neighbor. It's way too early to ask
about time of day for construction, but David Lawrence, the
building across the street is already breaking their times that
they're allowed to build.
Wayne Arnold: 20:06 I don't even know their current construction times. Is it 7:00
A.M. to 7:00 P.M. or something close to that? I don't...
Speaker 2: 20:10 I don't know. The only really other concern I had was water
retention. Right now, that property is already dumping water
onto my property when we have heavy rains and flooding and
it's filling up my backyard. So what is going to be required to
make sure that that stops happening and doesn't happen even
more? Especially if they're going to build a parking area and
bring in more fill.
Wayne Arnold: 20:43 So the county requires them to do the conversion of the house
to a church through a site development plan review process. So

Pastor will have to hire, whether it's us doing the engineering
work or another engineering firm, to engineer a site plan. And
one of the criteria that the county reviews is drainage. So we
have to show that we're not putting drainage onto your site, so
they're containing the water we generate off our pavement and
things into our probably dry detention areas. There won't be a
pond of some sort. It'd just be swales and dry detention areas to
retain the water on site until it can discharge out to, I don't
know where, probably the parkway, I guess. I don't really know.
We haven't started any engineering on that yet.
Speaker 2: 21:21 The guy that had the property before the church bought it, had
a real flooding problem, which then added to my flooding
problem and he actually ran pumps to run the water into
Golden Gate Parkway swales to try to get rid of the water.
Wayne Arnold: 21:36 Did it work?
Speaker 2: 21:38 Yeah, but then the county told him he wasn't allowed to do
that. So it's a problem for that property as you start to-
Wayne Arnold: 21:47 That's good to know. I didn't realize that. But the county will
make us do a full drainage plan as part of the...
Speaker 2: 21:53 That property used to flood to about a foot and a half deep-
Wayne Arnold: 21:56 Really?
Speaker 2: 21:56 Near my barn and toward the south. And-
Wayne Arnold: 22:00 On the south side.
Speaker 2: 22:01 Then the prior owner brought in 50 dump trucks worth of fill. So
now it starts dumping onto my property. I actually have videos
where it's literally pouring over-
Wayne Arnold: 22:11 Wow.
Speaker 2: 22:11 Over a weir or a dam. So that'll be really important as you go
forward.
Wayne Arnold: 22:18 Oh, absolutely. That's good to know. I had no idea.
Speaker 2: 22:21 That's my biggest concern. I love them as neighbors. I'm happy
to have a Haitian church as my neighbor. I just want to make
sure that it doesn't hurt my property value-

Wayne Arnold: 22:33 Absolutely.
Speaker 2: 22:33 Or my enjoyment of my own property.
Wayne Arnold: 22:34 Absolutely.
Speaker 2: 22:35 And I'm happy to have them as neighbors. I hope I get invited to
dinners sometime.
Wayne Arnold: 22:40 We can probably arrange that.
Speaker 2: 22:43 And dancing.
Wayne Arnold: 22:43 And dancing.
Pastor Paul: 22:46 It will be open to everybody, so...
Wayne Arnold: 22:48 Thanks, Jean Paul.
Pastor Paul: 22:48 Definitely. We are Haitians, but it's not going to be for Haitians.
It's just for anyone that will come and join [inaudible 00:22:56].
Wayne Arnold: 22:55 That's what religion should be anyway, all about love, right?
Pastor Paul: 22:58 She's been good to us, so...
Wayne Arnold: 23:02 Anything else over here? If not, you know how to get in touch
with us and we've got your contact info and I'll take a look at
those construction drawings just to try to figure out, making
sure that the footprint isn't encroaching. I know it can't get
closer than 30 feet. I can't promise you that it's not at 32 feet or
something today, but I'll look into that.
Speaker 2: 23:21 Honestly, I'm not going to fight it for a foot or two. I don't care.
Wayne Arnold: 23:23 Well, they can't get closer than 30 feet.
Speaker 2: 23:26 I just, the original plan I think had them expanding toward my
property, if I recall correctly.
Wayne Arnold: 23:30 If you recall, we were originally asking for 7,000 square feet and
we backed that down to six. Just thinking that it's probably
unrealistic to think they need to grow to 7,000 square feet.
Speaker 2: 23:39 Well, it's a big property that they have, so if they grow
backward and then join the fellowship hall, none of that
bothered me.

Wayne Arnold: 23:48 Good.
Speaker 2: 23:48 Especially if there's an edge and they're not-
Wayne Arnold: 23:50 Especially if your drainage-
Speaker 2: 23:50 Displacing water.
Wayne Arnold: 23:50 Is corrected.
Speaker 2: 23:53 The drainage is really a big deal for me.
Wayne Arnold: 23:54 I got it.
Speaker 2: 23:55 Because it floods inside my barn, which it never used to do.
Wayne Arnold: 23:59 Thankfully it's not your house.
Speaker 2: 24:01 Yeah. Thank God.
Wayne Arnold: 24:01 Anyway.
Speaker 2: 24:01 Well, I'm sorry you had to spend all the money [inaudible
00:24:06]-
Wayne Arnold: 24:06 No, that's why we're here. Thanks for coming out. Appreciate
you taking time again and I'm sure we'll talk more. So we'll be in
this process for several more months at least.
Speaker 2: 24:16 Do you have a date in mind that you think you're likely to be
able to...
Wayne Arnold: 24:20 Let's say we resubmit this week or early next week and then the
county is going to take another 30 days plus to review that.
There will probably be some more back and forth on conditions
and questions. So probably after the first of the year, don't you
think Laura, realistically? Could be.
Laura DeJohn: 24:35 I haven't been able to... I inherited this from a gentleman who
has resigned and moved away.
Speaker 2: 24:43 How dare he?
Laura DeJohn: 24:43 From what I'm hearing, it's not too complicated.
Wayne Arnold: 24:47 No, it's not a complex application.

Laura DeJohn: 24:51 So end of the year, early-
Wayne Arnold: 24:51 But end of the year-
Laura DeJohn: 24:51 Next year.
Wayne Arnold: 24:51 Early next year probably to get to the board. Their schedule, it's
kind of... They only have one meeting in November and one
meeting in December. So you just don't know what the backlog
is by the time we get ready to go.
Speaker 2: 25:04 Did you move the... In what I saw up here, it looked like you
moved the driveway entrance-
Wayne Arnold: 25:08 We did.
Speaker 2: 25:09 Further east.
Wayne Arnold: 25:09 East, yes.
Speaker 2: 25:11 Is planning going to allow that?
Wayne Arnold: 25:11 We originally were going to have two. Originally, we were going
to have an access closer to the west side and then hopefully still
connect through ABLE Academy. And then when ABLE Academy
said, "We're not really comfortable you doing that," we shifted
the access point at Jim's suggestion little farther to the east.
Speaker 2: 25:26 That would certainly make it easier for trucks and things to get
in there.
Wayne Arnold: 25:28 Yeah. Hopefully you don't-
Speaker 2: 25:31 Is the county going to allow that? Because they didn't allow the
guy before to do it.
Wayne Arnold: 25:35 What's that?
Speaker 2: 25:37 Allowing that access point on Golden Gate?
Wayne Arnold: 25:39 Oh, yeah. They don't have a choice. They have to let us have at
least a right in, right out access.
Speaker 2: 25:44 What does that mean right in, right out?
Wayne Arnold: 25:45 That we could only turn in right and turn out right. But there
wouldn't be a directional left lane.

then you turn right out Golden Gate. It's the same situation.
