CALL TO ORDER – Chairman Chairman- Clay Brooker Development Service Advisory Committee – Land Development Review Subcommittee, Wednesday, January 20, 2026. 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Motion to approve- Mark Mclean Motion seconded- Robert Mulhere Motion passed unanimously 3. OLD BUSINESS a. PL20250004659 – Home-Based Businesses – LDCA Alexander Showalter, Planner III, GMCD To bring our development code in line with the State Statute. Clay Brooker- I went back and forth between the State statute and this LDC amendment and it looks almost verbatim, is this correct. Eric Johnson- Yes. Jeff Curl- This still allows the public to come to your residence. I don’t understand how this doesn’t violate zoning and ADA. Clay Brooker- It allows for less than 5 people based on R3 occupancy because it’s a Single- Family home-based business. From an ADA standpoint there is no ADA mandate. Eric Johnson- We are complying with the Florida Statutes. You still must have parking onsite for your guests. Must be an improved surface. Mark McLean- HOA, may further regulate it. Jeff Curl- So am I vested, Can I have people come to my house? Clay Brooker- Yes within reason. You can’t alter the residential character of the neighborhood. Mark McLean- Page 1 Line 16 Item D, says no heavy equipment, defined herein as commercial, industrial agricultural vehicles, equipment or machinery that is parked or stored that the equipment is visible from the street or neighboring property. Are landscape trucks and trailers deemed heavy equipment. Eric Johnson- It would be a commercial vehicle. If you have heavy equipment, you are allowed to store it inside your garage. Once it’s in the LDC Mike Bosi can define what heavy equipment is and what isn’t. Jeff Curl- Tell me about operating hours, can I start work at 5am? Eric Johnson- I would say yes as long as you’re not violating the noise ordinance. Jeff Curl- Is there a way to echo the construction ordinance. You can start at 6:30am and work until 7:00pm. Would it violate state statutes by adding operating hours. 3 Alex Showalter- We don’t tell businesses at what hours they can operate. Clay Brooker- You can go back to, you can’t alter the residential character of the neighborhood. What are the normal hours for noise in residential neighborhoods. Eric Johnson- According to Statute 559.955 2b. Home based businesses may not be prohibited, restricted, regulated or licensed in a manner that is different from other businesses in a local government’s jurisdiction except as otherwise provided in this section. If we were to put a restriction on home-based businesses and not other businesses, it would be problematic. Clay Brooker- A recommendation from this subcommittee to DSAC, is to ask the County Attorney office to opine on imposing hours of operation based on a residential neighborhood perspective. Clay Brooker- There are a couple landscaping businesses out off of Rock Road that park their landscaping vehicles at their homes today, would they be grandfathered in or are they going to be subject to these rules and regulations. Jaime Cook- Rock Road is zoned agricultural. We are having them all come in and do SIP’s as a record of what is going on at the property. Eric Johnson- We can get clarity from the County Attorneys office. Blair Foley- Made a motion to approve subject to the condition of asking the full DSAC body to chime in on hours of operation and clarification of the definition of what is considered heavy equipment. Motion Seconded- Jeff Curl Motion passed unanimously 4. NEW BUSINESS a. PL20250014625 – Comparable Use in Industrial District – LDCA Eric Johnson, LDC Planning Manager Amends LCD Section 2.03.04 Industrial zoning districts Adds the language related to the comparable use determination. Number 59- Adds the language, any other industrial use which is comparable in nature with the list or permitted uses and consistent with the purpose of intent statement of the district as determined by the hearing examiner or CCPC, pursuant to LDC Section 10.02.06K Robert Mulhere- I support this change. I notice we don’t have this in the AG district. Why wouldn’t we have it there because it allows quite a few different uses. Eric Johson- We were only directed by the board to add it here. Jeff Curl- Made a motion to approve to move forward, as a part of this, ask DSAC to also consider a companion item that would be comparable uses in the agricultural districts. Motion Seconded- Robert Mulhere Motion Passed by majority vote Clay Brooker abstained due to potential conflict 4 5. PUBLIC SPEAKERS No public speakers 6.

LDCA (02-23-2026).docx LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT PETITION PL20250004659 SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT This Land Development Code (LDC) amendment proposes to update LDC section 5.02.00 Home Occupations to ensure consistency between the County’s regulations and the changes that were recently made to the Florida Statutes relative to home-based businesses. LDC amendments are reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners (Board), Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC), Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC), and the Land Development Review Subcommittee of the DSAC (DSAC-LDR). ORIGIN Growth Management Community Development Department (GMCD) HEARING DATES LDC SECTION TO BE AMENDED Board TBD 5.02.00 5.02.01 5.02.02 5.02.03 HOME OCCUPATIONS Applicability Allowable Home Occupation Uses Standards CCPC TBD DSAC 03/4/2026 DSAC-LDR 01/20/2026 05/20/2025 ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS DSAC-LDR Approved with Conditions DSAC TBD CCPC TBD BACKGROUND The County’s original provisions for home occupational uses were introduced into the LDC, pursuant to Ordinance 1980-04. The adoption of Ordinance 1995-31 established the current travelling prohibition to and from the residence, by customers, employees, and clients of the business operating as a home occupation. These standards have remained relatively unchanged, except for several minor amendments and the most recent occurring in 2005 which prohibited the gathering or parking at the residence. On July 1, 2021, F.S. 559.955 Home-Based Businesses, became an effective law that allow small business entrepreneurs to use residential property in ways that are consistent with residential land use (see Exhibit A). The law sets forth criteria that home-based businesses must meet to operate in areas zoned for residential use. It stipulates that “the local government may not enact or enforce any ordinance, regulation, or policy, or take any action to license or otherwise regulate a home-based business in a manner that is different from other businesses in a local government’s jurisdiction.” It is noteworthy, by F.S. 559.955 (4), that “Any adversely affected current or prospective home-based business owner may challenge any local government action in violation of this section. The prevailing party in a challenge may recover reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred in challenging or defending the action, including reasonable appellate attorney fees and costs.” On September 9, 2025, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners voted to pass Ordinance 2025 -36, codifying F.S. 559.955 into the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances to allow Code Enforcement of home-based businesses consistent with the terms of the statute. As such, the purpose and intent of this LDC amendment is to update LDC section 5.02.00 to comply with current State law and allign with our Code of Laws and Ordinances. DSAC-LDR Subcommittee Recommendation: On January 20, 2026, the DSAC-LDR Subcommittee recommended approval with the condition that staff would ask the County Attorney’s Office about implementing hours of operation within the Ordinance. 2 G:\LDC Amendments\Advisory Boards and Public Hearings\DSAC\2026\03-04\Materials\PL20250004659 Home Based Businesses - LDCA (02-23-2026).docx FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS No fiscal impacts are anticipated.
