CHANGE: Replace allowable maximum density for hotels, motels and time Share condominiums in commercial and RT zoning districts with a maximum floor area ratio requirement. Eliminate maximum density requirement. Increase front yard setbacks for buildings over 50 feet tall in the C-4 and RT zoning districts. Clarify building height requirements in RT zoning district. REASON': 1. Increased the front yard setbacks for buildings over 50 feet in height in the C-4 and RT zoning districts which allow building heights up to 100 feet in order to reduce the impact of taller buildings from the street. 2. Replace density limitations for hotels and motels with FAR requirements, because it is unreasonable to speak of hotel density in the same context as conventional housing. Unit ratio's make no sense as an intensity regulating tool because it fails to distinguish between a budget hotel and hotels with suites. The City of Naples limits the intensity of development of hotels through the FAR. This permits hotels to be constructed of reasonable intensity to address market conditions. Furthermore, the proposed language change allows for an FAR up to .60. Hotels and motels are required to have conditional use approval when located outside Activity Centers. The conditional use process could limit gross square footage of a hotel located outside Activity Centers if there were compatibility issues associated with development. 3. Clarified the maximum height in the RT zoning district because the LDC does not define the height of a "story." 4. In conjunction xvith the FAR requirement, eliminated the maximum floor area limitation for hotels and timeshard'condominiums. An increase in hotel room size will result in a decreaie th~ density of development utilizing the FAR. Larger timeshare condominiums will likely reduce impacts and result in higher property values and more upscale development. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: None.

RELATED CODES OR REGULATIONS: PUD Neighborhood Village Center Subdistrict of the Future Land Use Element. Amend the Land Development Code as follows: 2.2.20. Planned Unit Development District (PUD) 2.2.20.1. Purpose and intent. The purpose and intent of establishing the planned unit development district (PUD) is to provide procedures and standards to encourage mixed use planned developments that may be instituted at appropriate locations, or planned developments that may or may not be mixed use in the urban fringe areas, all in accordance with the planning and development objectives of the county under the code and.tl!e growth management plan. It is further. the purpose and intent of these 'PUD regulations to encourage ingenuity, innovation and imagination in the planning, design, and development or redevelopment of relatively large tracts of land under unified ownership or control PUD's produced in compliance with the terms and provisions of this code and the growth management plan may depart from the strict application of setback, height, and minimum lot requirements of conventional zoning districts while maintaining minimum standards by which flexibility may be accomplished, and while protecting the public interest, so that: A more creative approach may be taken to the development of contiguous tracts of land and to encourage development of infill parcels of contiguous tracts of' land in certain circumstances. A more desirable environment may be accomplished than would be through strict application of the minimum requirements of this zoning cc 17 2.2.20.2. 2.2.20.2.1. 2.2.20.2.2. 2.2.20.2.3. 3. Land may be used more efficiently, resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets with consequent lower construction and future maintenance costs. The impact of a particular PUD on the present and projected population, economy, land use pattern, tax base, street system, and public facility network(s) of the county may be carefully evaluated relative to the various costs and benefits that may be associated with such development. The development employs techniques featuring amenities and excellence in the form of variations in siting, mixed land uses and/or vaned dwelling types, as well as adaptation to and conservation of the topography and other natural characteristics of the land involved. Exceptions to variations in siting, mixed land uses and/or varied dwelling types may be granted on PUD infill development. The maximum density permissible in the PUD district and the urban mixed use land use designation shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained in the future land use element of the Collier County growth management plan. The maximum density permissible or permitted in a PUD a district shall not exceed the density permissible under the density rating system, except as permitted by policies contained in the future land use element. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, all PUD development shall be consistent with the Collier County growth management plan. General. Relation of planned unit development regulations to the growth management plan, zoning, subdivision, or other applicable regulations. All applications for PUDs shall be in full compliance with the future land use element and the goals, objectives, and policies of all elements of the growth management plan. All development regulations and other applicable provisions of all county ordinances such as, but not limited to, all provisions of the Collier County land development code, as may be amended, shall apply unless specifically modified by the approved PUD document and PUD master plan.

The minimum area required for a PUD shall be ten contiguous acres except as otherwise provided for within a specific zoning or overlay district, or when located within an activity center or within .the urban fringe areas as designated on the future land use map of the growth management plan xvhere no minimum acreage requirements must be met. For infill parcels, as defined in article 6 and the growth management plan, the minimum area required for a PUD shall be two contiguous acres. For purposes of the planned unit development district only, the term "contiguous" shall include properties separated by either an intervening planned or developed public street right-of-way; provided, however, no portion of such separated properties shall be less than five acres. Development planning - External relationships. Development within a PUD district shall be compatible with established or planned uses of surrounding neighborhoods and property. The PUD shall provide protection of the development from potentially adverse surrounding influences and protection of surrounding area from potentially adverse influences generated by or within the PUD. Such protection shall include, but is not limited to, adequate buffering and screening as follows: fences, walls, or vegetative screening at the boundaries of PUD districts shall be provided in accordance with the landscaping/buffering requirements of division 2.4 to-protect. residents from undesirable views, lighting, noise or other adverse off-site influences, or to protect residents of adjoining districts from similar possible influences from within the PUD district. In all cases, screening shall, at a minimum, be designed to protect existing or potential first-floor residential occupant window levels. Off- street parking areas for five or more cars, service areas for loading or unloading vehicles other than passengers, and areas for storage and collection of trash and garbage shall be so screened. Development planning - Internal relationships. The development plan for a PUD district shall provide for safe, efficient, convenient, and harmonious grouping of structures, uses and facilities, and for appropriate relation of space inside and outside buildings to intended uges and structural features. Development standards. In addition to all general provisions and established in section 2.2.20.2, the following specific requirements, limitations .~d standards shall apply to all PUD districts except that section 2.2.20.3.1 shall f~ot 19 ~! procedute~.~,~. 2.2.20.3.1. 2.2.20.3.2. apply when there is no residential component within the PUD and section 2.2.20.3.13 shall not apply when there is no industrial component in the PUD. Maximum intensities and residential densities. Maximum residential density permissible for the overall PUD shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained in the future land use element of the growth management plan. The overall maximum residential density permissible or permitted in a PUD shall be calculated by dividing the total number of dwelling units by the total of gross acreage of the proposed PUD excluding the acreage of the areas designated for commercial, industrial, or other land use having an established equivalent residential density in this Land Development Code. The maximum density permissible or permitted in a PUD shall not exceed the density permissible under the density rating system} or applicable policies contained in the future land use element. Land use intensities for non-residential uses shall be governed by provisions of the most similar use district or as otherwise provided in these regulations. Maximum density. The maximum residential density permissible shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained in the future land use element of the growth management plan. The maximum density permissible or permitted shall not exceed the density permissible under the density rating system, except as permitted by policies contained in the future land use element. The board of county commissioners may lessen density or intensity of development when it has been determined that development to the maximum density or intensity permissible in section 2.2.20.3.1.1 would: a. Create inconvenient or unsafe access to the PUD; or b. Create traffic congestion in the streets which adjoin or lead to the PUD; or c. Place a burden on parks, recreational areas, schools, and other facilities xvhich serve or are proposed to serve the PUD; or d. Be in conflict with the intent or provisions of the growth management plan; or Create a threat to property or incur abnormal public expense in areas subject to natural hazards; or f. Be incompatible or inconsistent with surrounding neighborhoods or areas; or g. Otherwise be inappropriate. Multifamily entry level rental housing areas. This area is intended to apply to an area of entry level multifamily residential rental units having a mid-rise profile silhouette and generally surrounded by low profile structures and open space and so situated that it is well-served by public and commercial services and has direct convenient access to thoroughfares and collector streets. Multifamily entry hivel 20 rental housing regulations shall not be used in conjunction with affordable housing density bonus regulations. Permitted uses and structures. No building or structure, or part thereof, shall be erected, altered or used, or land or water used, in whole or in part, for other than the following: a. Multifamily rental dwelling units. Maximum density. The maximum residential density permissible shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained in the future land use element of the growth management plan. The maximum density permissible or permitted shall not exceed the density permissible under the density rating system, except as permitted by policies contained in the future land use element. 3.

Providing places for public assembly such as parks and plazas which are linked 2. Providing for public access to open space areas beyond the boundaries of the property. 1. Providing usable common open space within individual tracts or increments to offset and compensate for decreases in typical lot sizes or yard requirements. Minimum dimensional standards within a PUD. Except as provided for within the industrial and nei.~hborhood village center component of this section, dimensional standards ~vithin any tract or increment of the proposed PUD shall conform to the minimum dimensional and other standards of the zoning district to which it most closely resembles in type, density, and intensity of use. Where there is uncertainty, the more restrictive standards shall apply. Variation from these minimum dimensional standards may be approved if the PUD demonstrates unique or innovative design..For purposes of this~secti0n, examples of unique and innovative design may include, but are not limited to: Siting buildings and dwelling units to provide optimum access to open space areas. Providing for the integration and preservation of natural resources with development, through conservation of natural resoumes such as streams, lakes, floodplains, groundwater, wooded areas and areas of unusual beauty or importance to the natural ecosystem. Providing certain personal services, offices and convenience shopping goods to residents of the PUD having the effect of reducing the number of vehicular trips for these purposes to destinations outside the PUD. Submission of schematic architectural drawings, site plans, floor plans, elevations, and perspectives which shall graphically demonstrate the proposed reduction in dimensional standards for all proposed land use types and their accessory uses within the PUD shall also be required to provide support documentation for reduction in the minimum standards of the zoning code. 2.2.20.3.4. 2.2.20.3.5. Off-street parking and off-street loading requirements. Off-street parking and off- street loading requirements shall be as for comparable type, density and intensity of uses established in section 2.2.20.3.3. No parking spaces on or within any public or private road or travelway shall be counted in fulfilling the required number of spaces. Landscaping for vehicular areas shall be as established in division 2.4. Usable open space requirements. Within PUD districts composed entirely of residential dwelling units and accessory uses, at least 60 percent of the gross area shall be devoted to usable open space. Within PUD districts containing commercial, industrial and mixed use including residential, at least 30 percent of the gross area shall be devoted to usable open space. Usable open space shall include active and passive recreation areas such as playgrounds, golf courses, lakes, both natural and manmade, beach frontage, waterways, lagoons, floodplains, nature trails, and similar open spaces. Open water areas beyond the perimeter of the site, internal street rights-of-way, driveways, off-street parking areas, and off-street loading areas shall not be counted in determining usable open space. 2.2.20.3.6. Dedication of usable open space. An appropriate percentage of the gross project area shall be required to be dedicated to public use as usable open space for all development after a determination by the board of county commissioners that a public need exists for such public facilities and that the amount of area dedicated is directly related to the impacts or needs created by the proposed development. 2.2.20.3.7. Dedication of the public facilities and development of prescribed amenities. Public Facility Dedication. The board of county commissioners may, as a condition of approval and adoption of the PUD rezoning and in accordance with the approved master plan of development, 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. Where impact fees are levied for certain public facilities, the market value of the land set aside for the public purpose shall be credited towards impact fees. Said credit shall be based on a negotiated amount no gret!t~r~ than the market value of the set aside land prior to the rezoning action, as determ ned by an accredited appraiser from a list approved by Collier County. Said appr~ isal 23 2.2.20.3.8. shall be submitted to the county attorney's office and the real property office within 90 days 0f the date of approval of the rezone, or as otherwise extended in writing by Collier County, so as to establish the amount of any impact fee credits resulting from said dedication. Failure to provide said appraisal within this time frame shall authorize the county to determine the market value of the property. Impact fee credits shall only be effective after recordation of the document conveying the dedicated property to Collier County. Where the term Collier County is used in this section, it shall be construed to include the Collier County Water and Sewer District or other agency or dependent district of Collier County Government. Land set aside and/or to be improved as committed in the PUD document, or master plan, as the case may be, shall be deeded or dedicated to Collier County within 90 days of receipt of notification by the county that the property is needed for certain pending public improvements or as otherwise approved by the board of county commissioners during the PUD rezoning approval process. In any case, however, the county shall take title to the set aside property, at the latest, by a date certain established during, and conditioned on, the approval of the PUD zoning. The land set aside and/or to be improved shall be made free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and improvements, at the developer's sole expense, except as otherwise approved by the board. Failure to complete the dedication within the appropriate time frame noted above may result in a recommendation to the board of consideration of rezoning the subject parcel from its current PUD zoning district to an appropriate zoning district and may result in a violation of this Code pursuant to subsection 1.9.2. Should said dedication of land also include agreed upon improvements, said improvements shall be completed and accepted by the Collier County Board of commissioners at the development phase which has infrastructure improvements available to the parcel of land upon which said improvements are to be made, or at a specified time provided for within the PUD document. Common open space or common facilities. Any common open space or common facilities established by an adopted master plan of development for a PUD district shall be subject to the following: The PUD shall provide for and establish an organization for the ownership and maintenance of any common open space and/or common facilities, and such organization shall not be dissolved nor shall it dispose of any common open space or common facilities, by sale or otherwise, except to an organization conceived and established to own and maintain the common open space or common facilities. However, the conditions of transfer shall conform to the adopted PUD master plan. In the event that the organization established to own and maintain common open space or common facilities, or any successor organization, shall at any time after the establishment of the PUD fail to meet conditions in accordance with the adopted PUD master plan of development, the development services director may serve written notice upon such organization and/or the owners or residents of the planned unit development and hold a public hearing. deficiencies of maintenance are not corrected within 30 days after such notilee ~o. ~- and hearing, the development services director shall call upon any public br 24 private agency to maintam the common open space for a period of one year. When the development services director determines that the subject organization is not prepared or able to maintain the common open space or common facilities, such public or private agency shall continue maintenance for yearly periods. The cost of such maintenance by such agency shall be assessed proportionally against the properties within the PUD that have a right of enjoyment of the common open space or common facilities and shall become a lien on said properties. 2.2.20.3.9. Preservation and protection of desirable natural historic or archaeological features. The desirable natural, historic, or archaeological features of the site including trees and other vegetation of consequence of a PUD district shall be preserved and protected. The disturbance of terrain or vegetation in a manner likely to significantly increase either wind or water erosion within or adjacent to the PUD district is prohibited. 2.2.20.3.10. Utilities. Within [the] residential portion of a PUD district, all utilities, including telephone, television cable, and electrical systems, shall be installed underground; provided, however, appurtenances to these systems which require aboveground installation must be opaquely screened and thereby may be exempted from these requirements; and primary facilities providing service to the site of the development or necessary to service areas outside the district may be exempted from this requirement. 2.2.20.3.11. Streets, drives, parking and service areas. Streets, drives, parking, and service areas shall provide safe and convenient access to dwelling units and project facilities, and for service and emergency vehicles; but streets shall not be so laid out as to encourage outside traffic to traverse the development on minor streets, nor occupy more than is required to provide access as indicated, nor create unnecessary fragmentation of the development into small blocks, nor shall streets be laid out or constructed so as to require excessive cuts or fills or to interfere with desirable drainage in or adjacent to the district. In addition, all major arteries as shown on the master plan of development shall be limited access facilities and the only vehicular access thereto shall be public streets unless otherwise provided for within the approved PUD master plan. Principal vehicular access points shall be designed to encourage smooth traffic flow and minimize hazards to vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Merging and turn lanes and/or traffic dividers shall be required where existing or anticipated heavy traffic flows indicate need. The interconnection of collector and local streets within the PUD to adjacent lands or developments shall be encouraged, except that the interconnection of local streets shall be designed to discourage through traffic, and not adversely impact local streets in the neighboring residential areas. Where streets within the district intersect adjoining streets, visibility triangle shall be maintained. All streets or roads within the PUD shall be public unless identified and approved as private on the PUD master plan, and shall {~oml~._ with all requirements for streets and roads as contained in division 3.2.

Sec. 2.2.20, PUD NVC dw/mkmodified 3-2-00 3O ORIGIN: Current Planning Staff AUTHOR: Ron Nino, AICP, Current Planning Manager & Fred Reischl, Senior Planner DEPARTMENT: Planning Services LDC PAGE: 2:75 LDC SECTION: 2.2.20.3.3 CHANGE: Add a requirement for Site Improvement Plan approval for zero-lot line developments. REASON: History has demonstrated that in a row of zero-lot line parcels, a building permit may be issued on one side of the row with the zero setback on the left, and on the other side of the row the zero setback will be on the right. The lot "in the middle" then becomes unbuildable without a variance. With approval of an SIP, building permits will be issued according to the setbacks on the SIP. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: None RELATED CODES OR REGULATIONS: Section 3.3.8 (Site Improvement Plans) 2.2.20.3.3. Minimum dimensional standards within a PUD. Except as provided for within the industrial component of this section, dimensional standards within any tract or increment of the proposed PUD shall conform to the minimum dimensional and other standards of the zoning district to which it most closely resembles in type, density, and intensity of use. Where there is uncertainty, the more restrictive standards shall apply. Variation from these minimum dimensional standards may be approved if the PUD demonstrates unique or innovative design. For purposes of this section, examples of unique and innovative design may include, but are not limited to: 1. Providing usable common open space within individual tracts or increments to offset and compensate for decreases in typical lot sizes or yard requirements. 2. Providing for public access to open space areas beyond the boundaries of the property. 3. The use(s) occurring within the PUD are such that compatibility with surrounding uses can be assured by applying different requirements than would be applicable under another zoning district. 4. Providing places for public assembly such as parks and plazas which are linked together and centrally located to ensure accessibility. Siting buildings and dwelling units to provide optimum access to open space areas. Providing for the integration and preservation of natural resources with development, through conservation of natural resources such as streams, lak 31 floodplains, groundwater, wooded areas and areas of unusual beauty or importance to the natural ecosystem. Submission of schematic architectural drawings, site plans, floor plans, elevations, and perspectives which shall graphically demonstrate the proposed reduction in dimensional standards for all proposed land use types and their accessory uses within the PUD shall also be required to provide support documentation for reduction in the minimum standards of the zoning code. Where required side-yards are permitted to be zero, a Site Improvement Plan, pursuant to Section 3.3.8, shall be approved prior to issuance of a building permit. 32 ORIGIN: Community Development & Environmental Services AUTHOR: Donald J. Murray, AICP, Principal Planner Lisa LeBlanc-Hutchings, Director of Operations, Naples Airport Authority DEPARTMENT: Planning Services LDC PAGES: 2:81 - 2:91, and LDCD:I - 3 and 7 - 12, and 6:6, 7, 44, 49, & 59. LDC SECTION: 2.2.23. Airport Overlay Districts (APO); Appendix D - Airport Zoning Maps including Appendix I, Zoning Map A, Appendix II, Naples Municipal Airport Noise Zone Map, and Appendix III, and; Division 6.3 Definitions. CHANGE: Amend Airport Overlay District to provide for both airspace protection and land use compatibility in relation to the normal operation of public-use airports located within Collier County and to create a new Airport Noise Zone "D" for the Naples Municipal Airport. Appendix D updates the Airport Zoning Maps. Nine definitions are proposed to be added to Division 6.3 Definitions of the LDC to reflect changes to Chapter 333, F.S. A summary of the changes to Section 2.2.23 are listed below. Summary of Changes: The proposed changes fall into three main areas: safety, noise zone maps, and compliance with Chapter 333, F.S., and Federal Aviation Regulations Part 77. These changes will also: · Enhance safety by regulating future obstruction heights, reducing potential interference of lighted objects, and regulating permanent and temporary obstructions, such as, cranes, laser lights, and tethered balloons; · Allow the same protection with regard to noise zones (this reduces non-compatible land usage) even though the airport noise contours have shrunk considerably by adding a fourth noise zone with a 60 LDN contour, which essentially is where the previous 65 LDN contour was (see old and new maps); · Add heliport zoning to the ordinance; · Update two maps - the Airport Zoning Map (Appendix I of LDC Appendix D) and the Airport Noise Zone Map (Appendix II of LDC Appendix D); · Add six definitions to Section 6.3 of the Land Development Code; · Update the language in the Ordinance to bring it into compliance with Chapter 333, F.S.; and · Provide for both airspace protection and land use compatibility relating to the normal operation of all public use airports, state licensed airports, and heliports within the county (Section 2.2.23 - Overall). Specific Changes to Section 2.2.23 are as follows: · Section 2.2.23.1 - Most of the verbiage in the previous APO was moved into section 1.8. The new items are listed as subsections 1-6, which provide for: ,/ maximum safety of aircraft ,/ safety for residents ,/ full utility of each airport ,/ development standards for land use within each of the noise zones · /building height standards in accordance with FS 333 and FAR Part 77 33 administrative and enforcement procedures · Section 2.2.23.1.8 - Ties in the APO with Chpt. 333, F.S. Verbiage from 2.2.23. (1 -4) was added here. The only new language is the first sentence. · Section 2.2.23.1.9 - adds new language. · Section 2~2.23.2. - most of the definitions in this section were updated to reflect current language.

Three noise zones had been established for Naples Municipal Airport. With industry changes resulting in a quieter aircraft fleet and local operating restrictions in place, these zones have been significantly reduced. A fourth noise zone has been created to define the 60 Ldn noise contour in an effort to continue to preserve the land which was previously inside the 65 Ldn contour from ~--~.'~ t non-compatible development. Further, the changes in this code will also regulate airport~..~._~ obstructions and interference to aircraft operations by minimizing new structure height, restricting alterations of existing structures, regulating floating and hovering objects, prohibiting structures and materials which could interfere with airport radar systems, and prohibiting certain lighting of structures which might cause risk to aircraft operation. This change also provides for hellport zoning, and updates and corrects certain maps, definitions and text. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: None RELATED CODES OR REGULATIONS: None Sec. 2.2.23.

That in addition to the regulations applicable to land zoned, as indicated in the official zoning atlas, the following regulations are additionally applicable to lands in the county in the vicinity of the Naples Municipal, Everglades, Marco Island and Immokalee m~ c~^. ^ ;~.~) Airports as indicated on the airport zoning maps of Collier County. Lands lying within various zones as indicated on the airport zoning maps are subject to the additional regulations set out in this section. 2.2.23.1.8. The regulations set out in this Land Development Code (code) are adopted pursuant to the authority conferred by § 333.03, F.S. It is hereby determined that an airport obstruction has the potential for being hazardous to aircraft operations as well as to persons and property on the ground in the vicinity of the obstruction. An obstruction may affect land use in its vicinity and may reduce the size of areas available for the taking-off, maneuvering and landing of aircraft, thus tending to impair or destroy the utility of airports within Collier County and the public investment therein. It is hereby found that excessive aircraft noise may be an annoyance or may be objectionable to residents in the county. Accordingly, it is declared that: The creation or establishment of an airport obstruction which may be hazardous to aircraft operations, or which reduces the size of the area available for such operations, or which inhibits the safe and effic.ient use of airspace surrounding a county airport, is a public nuisance and an inju _ry to Collier County and no variance by the County shall be granted to authorize any such obstruction; It is necessary in the interest of the public health, safety and general welfare that the creation of airport hazards and incompatible use of land within the designated airport noise zones be prevented; and The prevention of these hazards and incompatible land uses should be accomplished, to the extent legally possible, by the exercise of police powers without compensation. 2.2.23.1.9. It is further declared that the prevention of the creation of airport hazards and incompatible land uses, and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation or marking and lighting of existing airport obstructions are public purposes for which the political subdivision may raise and expend public funds and acquire land or interests in land. 2.2.23.2. Airport zones and airspace height limitations. In order to carry out the provisions of this zoning code, there are hereby created and established certain surfaces which include all of the land lying beneath the approach, transitional, primary, horizontal and conical surfaces as they apply to a particular airport.

Naples Municipal Airport noise zones, land use restrictions, sound level requirements (SLR) for buildings or structures: and SLR design requirements. Purpose. The purpose of this section (2.2.23) is to establish standards for land use and for sound level reduction requirements with respect to exterior noise resulting from the legal and normal operations at the airports within Collier County. This section establishes noise r, uffae~ zones of differing intensities and land use in the vicinity of the Naples Municipal Airport, as identified in the most recent Naples Airport FAA Part 150 Study; establishes permitted land uses in the noise r, ur-fae~, zones; establishes soundproofing requirements for residential development within the noise ~aeer,-zones; and establishes notification procedures to prospective purchasers of real estate within the noise zones. Airport noise zones. Noise zones. In addition to the prior three noise zones, there is ~ hereby created and established ~ a fourth noise zone~ D; There are now noise zones A, ~ B~ {md-ze~,e C~ and D. Such zones are shown on the Naples Airport noise zone map(s) which are incorporated and made a part herein and are described in section 2.2.23.4.2.2 below. The noise zones contained herein are based on a projection of future ~ .... : ......,~ ~,.:~ c..^~ aircraft ~ig~.t operations at the Naples Municipal Airport. The purpose of these noise zones is to define and set forth specific regulations for all properties within the described areas. 2. Noise zone boundaries. Zone A. That area commencing at the outermost boundary of the airport and extending outward therefrom to a boundary indicated on the noise zone map as "B." The outer contour of noise zone A approximates a noise level of 75 Ldn. Zone B. That area commencing at the boundary indicated on the noise zone map as the outer boundary of noise zone A and extending outward therefrom to the boundary indicated on the noise zone map as "C." The outer contour of noise zone B approximates a noise level of 70 Ldn. Zone C. That area commencing at the boundary indicated on the noise zone map as the outer boundary of noise zone B and extending outward therefrom to the fimtaem~ boundary indicated on the noise zone map as "D". The outer contour of noise zone C approximates a noise level of 65 Ldn. a~qqt4e-her-eat~- d. Zone D.

The outer contour of noise zone D approximates a noise level of 60 Ldn and is the Naples Airport noise zone (This area is referenced in the 1996 Naples Airport FAA Part 150 Study). 3. Application. Where boundaries of a described noise zone are shown to extend over a portion, but not all of a platted lot or un-subdivided property, the owner or owners of the entire property will be notified of potential noise impact in accordance with section 2.2.23.5. Where boundaries of more than one described noise zone are shown on a platted lot or unsubdivided property, provisions of the most restricted zone shall apply. Land use restrictions. Permitted and restricted activities. All land uses shall be permitted in the noise zone pursuant to the applicable zoning district and as provided in the activities and/or land use guidance chart made a part hereof. Those activities and land uses not specifically listed in the land use guidance chart are permitted or restricted in the noise zone based on their similarity to noise tolerance as exhibited by the activities and land uses which are listed in the guidance chart. Nonconforming uses. The regulations prescribed by this section shall not be construed to require the sound conditioning or other changes or alteration of any preexisting structure not conforming to this part as of the first effective date of this section or to otherwise interfere with the continuance of any such preexisting nonconforming use. Nothing herein contained shall require any such change in the construction of or alteration of a structure which has commenced construction prior to the effective date of this section and which is diligently pursued. Sound level requirements (SLR) for buildings or structures. Scope of requirements. The provisions of~ these APO special regulations shall apply to the construction, alteration, moving, demolition, repair and use of any building or structure within unincorporated Collier County except work located primarily in a public right-of-way, on public utility towers, poles and mechanical equipment not specifically regulated ~ these APOs.

ORIGIN: Comprehensive Planning Section AUTHOR: David Weeks, AICP, Principal Planner DEPARTMENT: Planning Services Department LDC PAGE: New pages. LDC SECTION: Add Sec. 2.2.30, Santa Barbara Commercial Overlay District (SBCO). CHANGE: To add the Santa Barbara Commercial Overlay District providing for commercial development opportunities for certain properties along Santa Barbara Blvd. within the Urban designated Golden Gate City. REASON: A 1999 amendment to the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) of the Growth Management Plan added the Santa Barbara Commercial Subdistrict. The proposed amendment herein described will serve to implement that Subdistrict. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: None RELATED CODES OR REGULATIONS: The Santa Barbara Commercial Subdistrict in the GGAMP, as noted above. Amend the Land Development Code, by adding a new Section, as follows: 2.2.30. Santa Barbara Commercial Overlay District (SBCO): special conditions for properties abutting the east side of Santa Barbara Blvd. as referenced in the Santa Barbara Commercial Subdistrict Map (Map 4-A) of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan. 2.2.30.1. Purpose and intent. The purpose and intent of this district is to provide Golden Gate City with additional opportunities for small scale commercial development to serve the surrounding neighborhoods and those traveling nearby. This district is intended to: contain Ioxv intensity uses which generate/attract'relatively low traffic'volumes; be appropriately landscaped and buffered to protect nearby residential areas; be architecturally designed so as to be compatible with nearby residential areas; and, limit access to promote public safety and lessen interruptions to traffic flow on Santa Barbara Boulevard. Aggregation of lots is strongly encouraged so as to allow greater flexibility in site design and ease in compliance with parking requirements and other development standards. The types of uses permitted are low intensity retail, offices, personal services, and institutional uses. In order to reduce the potential conflicts that may result from residential and commercial uses being located in this district, existing residential uses, other than owner-occupied dwellings, are required to cease to exist within a specified time period. This does not require the removal of the residential structures if they can be.. and are, converted to uses permitted in this district. 2.2.30.2.Applicability. These regulations apply to properties abutting the east side of Santa Barbara Boulevard, lying north of 27th Court S.W. and south of22'~d Place S.W., all in 62 Golden Gate City, and consisting of approximately 11 acres. These properties are identified on Map 4-A of the Golden Gate Area master Plan. Except as provided in this regulation, all other use, dimensional and development requirements shall be as required or allowed in the underlying zoning categories. 2.2.30.3 Development criteria. The following standards shall apply to all uses in this overlay district. Where a specific development criteria and standards also exist in the Golden Gate Area Master Plan, or the Future Land Use Element, they shall supersede any less stringent requirement or place additional requirements on development.. 2.2.30.3.1. Common'architectural style. In support of the purpose and intent of the SBCO, all structures within the overlay district shall be designed so as to be compatible with nearby residential areas and shall have a common architectural style.

ORIGIN: Community Development and Environmental Services AUTHOR: Ross Gochenaur, Planner II DEPARTMENT: Planning Services LDC PAGE: 2:189 LDC SECTION: 2.6.21. Dock Facilities CHANGE: 1) Add language more clearly identifying property governed by the provisions of this section; 2) Allow a percentage criterion (25% with a 20-foot maximum) to determine protrusion limits for docks on waterways under 100 feet. This would allow more reasonable use of narroxver waterways and reduce the number of boat dock extension petitions. REASON: 1) Current language suggests that this section applies only to waterfront lots on canals or navigable waterways, which is not the intent of the Code: the section applies to all property defined as "waterfront"; 2) The current Code prohibits construction of docks protruding more that 5 feet on canals under 70 feet in width, while allowing an unlimited dock-and-vessel combination. This amendment xvould limit total dock facility protrusion FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: RELATED CODES OR REGULATIONS: Sec. 2.6.21. Dock facilities. 2.6.21.1. Individual or multiple private docks, including mooring pilings, davits, lifts and the like are permitted to serve the residents of a development cn .... ~ '-~ waterway ~- having waterfront property as described in Division 6.3 Definitions, provided they do not protrude more than the respective distances specified in sections 2.6.21.2, and 2.6.21.3, for such canal er waterway or waterbody. Docks and the like are primarily intended to adequately secure moored vessels and provide safe access by users for routine maintenance and use while minimally impacting the navigability of the waterway, the native marine habitat, manatees, and the use and view of the waterway by surrounding property owners. Permitted dock facility protrusions as well as extension of dock facilities are measured from the property line, bulkhead line, shoreline, seawall, rip-rap line, or Mean High Water line, whichever is more restrictive. On unbridged barrier islands, a boat dock shall be considered a permitted principal use; however, a dock shall not, in any way, constitute a use or structure xvhich permits, requires, and/or provides for any accessory uses and or structures. Boathouses and dock facilities proposed on residentially 'zoned properties as defined. in section 2.1.4 of this Code, shall be considered an accessory use or structure. [ Boathouses shall be required to be approved through the procedure and criteria iN~ section 2.6.21.3 and 2.6.21.4. In addition, any covered structure erected on a prix;ate 88 ~, boat dock shall also be considered an accessory use, and shall also be required to be approved through the procedures and criteria of section 2.6.21.3. and 2.6.21.4. of this code. 2.6.21.2. Dock facility requirements and restrictions. The following criteria applyto dock facilities and boathouses. Platted waterway width, where available, shall be considered true waterway width for the purposes of this section. 2.6.21.2.1. For lots on a waterway that is 100 feet or greater in width, no boathouse, dock facility/boat combination shall protrude more than 20 feet into the waterway (i.e. the total protmsion of the dock facility plus the total protmsion of the moored vessel). A dock extension in accordance with Section 2.6.21.3. may be granted to allow a protmsion of more than 20 feet. 2.6.21.2.2. For lots on a waterway that is less than 100 feet in width, dock facilities may exten&/?rctvade ,,,, .... ,~, ,u~, occupy no more than 25 percent of the xvidth of the waterway or protrude greater than 20 feet into the waterway, whichever is lesser. fi~ wNc~ever ~: more rest~ctive. A dock extension in accordance with Section 2.6.21.3. may be granted to allow a protmsion of more than 20 feet, but at no time shall such extension allow more than 25 percent of the wate~av width to be occupied. 2.6.21.2.~ ~ All dock facilities on lots with xvater frontage of 60 feet or greater shall have a side setback requirement of 15 feet, except as provided in section 2.6.21.2.4.1 or as exempted below. All dock facilities (except boathouses) on lots with less than 60 feet of water frontage shall have a side setback requirement of 7 1/2 feet. All dock facilities (except boathouses) on lots at the end or side end of a waterway having regular (linear) water frontage shall have a side setback requirement of 7 1/2 feet as measured from the side lot line or riparian line, whichever is appropriate. 2.6.21.2.4.1.3.1. Riparian lines (see Division 6.3, Definitions, riparian line) for lots at the end or side end of a waterway with a regular shoreline are established by a line extending from the comer of an end lot and side end lot into the waterway bisection equidistantly the angle created by the two intersecting lots (see Exhibit A). Riparian lines for all other lots should be established by generally accepted methods, taking into consideration the configuration of the shoreline, and allowing for the equitable -- apportionment ofriparian rights. Such methods include, but are not limited to, liries drawn perpendicular to the shoreline for regular (linear) shorelines, or lines drawn perpendicular to the centerline (thread) of the waterway, or perpendicular to the lfi~e 89 of deep water (line of navigability or edge of navigable channel), as appropriate, for irregular shorelines. 2.6.21.2.~.. 4_. All dock facilities, regardless of length/protrusion, shall have reflectors and house numbers four inches minimum size installed at the outermost end, on both sides. For multifamily developments, the house number requirement is waived. 2.6.21.2.~ 5_. All dock facilities are subject to, and shall comply with, all federal and state requi~:ements and permits, including but [not] limited to the requirements and permits of the Florida department of environmental protection, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 2.6.21.2.:;k. 6~ Protection ofseagrass beds. Where new docking facilities are proposed or boat dock extensions, the location and presence of seagrass or seagrass beds within 200 feet of any proposed dock facility shall be identified on an aerial photograph having a scale of one inch to 200 feet when available from the county, or a scale of one inch to 400 feet when such photographs are not available from the county. The location of seagrass beds shall be verified by a site visit by the site development review director or his designee prior to issuance of any project approval or permit. 2.6.21.2.7. 1.6.1 All proposed dock facilities shall be located and aligned to stay at least ten feet from any existing seagrass beds, except where a continuous bed of seagrasses exists off the shore of the property and adjacent to the property, and to minimize negative impacts to seagrasses and other native shoreline, emergent and submerged vegetation and hard bottom communities. 2.6.21.2.7.2.6.2 Where a continuous bed of seagrasses exists off the shore of the property and adjacent to the property the applicant shall be allowed to build a dock across the seagrasses, or a docking facility within ten feet of seagrasses. Such docking facilities shall comply with the following conditions: 1. The dock shall be at a height of at least 3.5 feet NGVD. The ternfinal platform of the dock shall not exceed 160 square feet. 3.

Gustarson, Holland & Knight, LLP, representing Lodestar Towers, Inc., and the Florida Department of Transportation AUTHOR: Donald J. Murray, AICP, Principal Planner DEPARTMENT: Planning Services LDC SECTION: 2.6.35.7 LDC PAGES: LDC2:XXXX CHANGE: An amendment to Section 2.6.35 of the LDC, providing for an Alligator Alley Communications Towers district. The proposal by Joel K. Gustarson, Holland & Knight, LLP, representing Lodestar Towers, Inc., and the Florida Department of Transportation, will allow the state to utilize the 1-75 right-of-way (ROW) for placement/replacement of telecommunications towers utilized for a telecommunications program implemented by the FDOT. The proposal will allow the state to place towers with heights of up to 280 feet in their ROWs. The amendment will change separation and setback requirements as provided for in Section 2.6.35 of the LDC to alloxv more flexibility in placing Lodestar telecommunications towers within the 1-75 ROW. Towers will be used for both public and private purposes. REASON: The FDOT Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) program requires the use of wireless telecommunications facilities and technology, including towers, to improve the communication of highway safety information to motorists traveling along 1-75. FDOT also wants to lease shared space on the proposed towers to commercial wireless telephone companies xvanting to operate PCS cellular phone services within the interstate right-of-way. This proposed system will provide motorists with information on roadway conditions and guidance information. It xvill also allow the FDOT to provide real time information via variable message signs, and will facilitate traffic data collection. It will also allow shared use (additional collocation space) of four proposed towers by the commercial wireless telephone providers who have long maintained the need for more towers along 1-75. The FDOT has primarily undertaken this program to help promote private telecommunications facilities known as "TCA Facilities" on its limited access highway right-of-way, as provided for in the Telecommunications Act of 1996. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: None other than normal petition review fees. RELATED CODES OR REGULATIONS: Section 2.6.35 of the LDC. AGENCY COMMENTS AND CONCERNS: This proposal has been routed to all agencies with possible concerns or jurisdictional review. The Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the National Park Service (NPS), the Department of Forestry (DOF), the Collier Mosquito Control District, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the Collier County Airport Authority, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and the Conservancy of Southwest Florida were all contacted. At this time, only a few agencies have had time to respond. The comments of those agencies are as follows: US Fish and Wildlife Service - The FWS is concerned. They have developed guidance systems to address siting towers and related facilities. Also, Lodestar must consult with the FWS if federal funding is being used. They also have a concern with the placement of tall towers. ~.. Towers with heights greater than 200 feet require FAA lighting. Lighting and tall towers affect migratory birds and contributes to bird kills. Formal comments will be .forwarded to the County Development Services after adequate information has been submitted by the petitioner to the FWS for their review. This information must be routed through the FCC and the FAA, first, before being forwarded to the FWS. Comments and requirements of those agencies can be addressed by County Planning Staff prior to the site development plan review. Appropriate measures or steps can then be applied if needed to mitigate potential problems. Collier Mosquito Control District - At this time, the CMCD is only concerned about the proposed Everglades Blvd. tower site. The proliferation of towers has effected their aircraft mosquito spraying operations and this proposed tower would impact future operations. The CMCD recommends that Lodestar place their equipment on existing towers, first, such as the Ford Motor Test Track tower site, before requesting to build any new towers. National Park Service - NPS is concerned about the effects towers may have on migratory and threatened birds, and the negative impacts towers will have on the scenic beauty of the Big Cypress Preserve. They have no problem with replacing the existing tower at the 1-75 Rest Area if the tower is utilized for government purposes. Antenna space on these proposed towers should be utilized by government agencies, first, if the tower space is needed. They question the needed height of the proposed towers for ITS programs. They believe that the existing Section 2.6.35 of the LDC has worked somewhat effectively to limit towers in and surrounding the Big Cypress Preserve but the original requirements of the LDC should be maintained. They will look at these issues further. DCA - Has few concerns as long as the requirements of the LDC are met, in particular, those pertaining to the Area of Critical State Concern (ACSC). COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: The proposed amendment is deemed consistent with the FLUE, subject to the ACSC regulations, which are required by Florida Statutes and cannot be waived or exempted by amendment to the LDC, and subject to a determination of compatibility to be deemed consistent with the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) when being placed within the Golden Gate area. FDOT has confirmed that they have reserved the top areas of al! of the proposed towers for their use. Therefore, based upon FDOT's stated planned use of the proposed towers, Planning Staff believes that the proposed use is consistent with the GGAMP. EAC and DSAC RECOMMENDATION: Both the DSAC and the EAC recommended approval of the proposed amendment, including all four proposed tower sites. Both the EAC and the DSAC had concerns that FDOT would not be able to complete its communications plans by approving only two of the four towers. There were two dissenting votes by EAC members. The dissenting votes were in favor of Staff's recommendations and the limitations to allow only the two replacement towers. PLANNING STAFF CONCERNS: The proposed amendment will allow placement of four towers in the 1-75 right-of-way. Two are proposed as replacement towers and two are new. Staff has reviewed the proposed amendment and the resulting construction and replacement of towers with respect to FDOT's program needs and land use. The questions posed address the relevance of the locations of the proposed tower sites, the minimum tower height needed by the FDOT programs, the minimum spacing needed between towers, and the comments and concerns made by agencies contacted by Planning Staff and the petitioner. These questions are summarized below: 107 What is the feasibility that FDOT can use the proposed American Tower Corporation proposed tower that will be located at the Ford Motor Test Track? Staff has maintained that one of the new proposed tower sites located at Everglades Blvd. (mile marker 92.6) may be unnecessary due to two existing tower sites (one existing, one approved) being located near it. The FDOT has taken the position that they must maintain control of their tower facilities because private companies may not have the same priorities for repairing or replacing damaged or destroyed facilities during emergency situations, such as hurricanes. Staff cedes that placement of towers in or near the 1-75 right of way will probably facilitate access and repairs to those facilities versus if they are placed off site, but other tower companies maintain that they can accommodate FDOT equipment on their proposed tower. What is the feasibility that existing towers may be used and/or replaced to provide the minimum FDOT service needed on 1-757 An existing tower located within the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge at S.R. 29 and 1-75 may be unnecessary because the petitioners may be able to obtain a variance to replace it at the proposed height of 310 feet, but only if there are no environmental problems or problems with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. An amendment for the other two proposed towers is probably necessary due to the location of those structures being within 'Conservation districts in the Big Cypress Preserve; Section 2.6.35 of the County's LDC prohibits towers from being erected in Conservation (CON) districts. This makes the existing tower located at the 1-75 Rest Area (mile marker 63.3) a nonconforming structure and the other, located at mile marker 52.9, would not be allowed in the CON district with the current requirements of the LDC. The proposed tower at the Everglades Blvd. site may be allowed as a conditional use essential service in the Estates district as long as it is used by the FDOT. Furthermore, under the existing regulations of Section 2.6.35 of the LDC, the Everglades Blvd. tower site would be considered unnecessary due to the already approved tower site at the Ford Motor Test Track, which is located about three-quarters of a mile from the proposed Everglades Blvd. site. Staff believes that Section 2.6.35 was designed to limit the number of towers in the County by directing speculative tower builders to sites of lowest impact to the citizens of the County and by requiring shared use of existing towers with collocation capacity first. The proposed Lodestar amendment will exempt Lodestar from having to meet these requirements, which currently apply to all other tower companies seeking to build towers in this area, and which has effectively limited new towers in the area.' But, in order for FDOT to establish its ITS program and tO upgrade its call box service, reasonable assurance is needed that all Of the proposed towers will be constructed. The existing process under Section 2.6.35 will not allow the needed telecommunications cell sites to be established, thus this amendment is needed and logical. What is the minimum height and tower spacing needed to support the FDOT program needs? Lodestar maintains that a minimum height of 250 feet is required to place the FDOT equipment at a height needed to function properly due to the need for direct line-of-sight microwave service between the proposed towers. The microwave service is needed because of the lack of land based communications lines (called the backhaul network). The microwave would function as a wireless backhaul but would be affected by the curvature of the earth, thus the needed height given the proposed distances between the sites. Lodestar stated that because of these requirements and factors if they would go to a three tower system, the towers would have to be constructed with heights of 350 feet or more. Furthermore, the stated heights wil[p'e~i.t shared use of the proposed towers, , ~. 108 How will the proposed use affect existing !and use? This amendment would only require separating a tower from residential property by a small distance called a collapse area or fall zone (usually less than 50 percent of the height), or by a clear zone to be maintained on adjoining property. This will not be a problem for at least three of the four proposed towers located in the Big Cypress Preserve and the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge. There are no residential properties located near those tower sites. The Everglades Blvd site will be located in the "E" Estates zoning district (normally, a tower would not be allowed in the "E" district unless the site was approved by conditional use for an essential service) and a required separation from nearby residential property boundaries would be approximately equal to the height of the tower. In this case, it would be equal to 250 feet. This standard was established to separate towers from some residential uses and to minimize obtrusiveness to residents. Given the location of the proposed Everglades Blvd. site, the proposed 50% separation should be adequate for containing a typical tower collapse, but the view of the proposed tower will be significant. Summary: The proposed amendment appears to be reasonable based on Staff's analysis, but the view of the proposed towers cannot be overcome, especially at such close proximity to residential properties. The proposed amendment also poses another question as to whether additional facilities ~vill be needed by the petitioner in the future. Also, if this proposed amendment is approved as requested by Lodestar, then it is possible that too 'many towers will be constructed in the Everglades Blvd. area. But, the need to accommodate the new ITS program and telephone telecommunications along Alligator Alley (especially for emergencies), the lack of other facilities which would help to limit the need of such tall structures, and the need for FDOT to have some reasonable assurance of security for their equipment gives weight to the need for additional telecommunications facilities in this rural area of 1-75. This need would not be the same if the proposed structures were to be located in the Urban Designated Area where there are many existing facilities, and where Lodestar has stated that they can accommodate their programs xvith existing telecommunications facilities. Therefore, Staff supports the proposed amendment but only with Staffs proposed changes, which will provide some reasonable assurance that requirements necessary to guaranteeing County zoning control, safety, and environmental issues are addressed. This is especially true considering the proposed towers are predominantly commercial in use. PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Based On analysis 0'f the available information, staff supports the LDC amendment With all ' four proposed towers sites, but contingent upon Staff's recommended changes to the proposed amendment. Therefore, Staff recommends Approval of this proposed amendment: (Note: All of the following text is new language proposed to the LDC. Staff's additions and deletions have been incorporated into the proposed language) Section 2.6.35.7. Alligator Alley Communication Towers (1) Notwithstanding other provisions of Section 2.6.35, and irrespective of the zoning classification(s) of the underlying fee at each respective tower site, two (2) new communication towers shall be permitted at locations and heights herein specified within the 1-75 right-of-way east of the toll booth (Alligator Alley). Two of the four towers shall be constructed to replace two existing Florida Department of Transportation tower. The four new telecommunication tower sites shall be located approximately at: 10 9 (a) (b) mile marker 52.9. The height of the tower shall not exceed 250 feet including antennas; mile marker 92.6 (Everglades Blvd). The height shall not exceed 250 feet, including antennas; the site of an existine FDOT tower located on State Road 29. The height (d) shall not exceed 310 feet, including antennas; the site of an existing FDOT tower located at mile marker 63.2 at the 1-75 Rest Area. It will replace an existing tower located on the north side of 1- 75 at mile marker 63.3. The height shall not exceed 280 feet including antennas. Each tower shall be constructed with a capacity to provide for a minimum of four (4) eight (8) co-users, including Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the National Park Service (NPS), the Department of Forestry_ (DOF), and Collier County agencies, where practical. (2) Each tower shall be constructed in accord with the standards and requirements of (3) (4) (6) (7) Section 2.6.35 and other applicable sections of the LDC except as expressly provided otherwise in this Sectionl Minimum yard requirements: There shall be no minimum yard requirement for these towers at these locations because each tower and all ancillary facilities must be contained within the 1-75 right-of-way and each. proposed tower must maintains a separation distance from all adjacent residential property lines equal to one-half (1/2) the toxver's height or equal to a Florida Professional Engineer's certified collapse area (fall zone), whichever is greatest, .or a clear zone is maintained on adjoining property by a use easement applicable to such adjoining property owner. No habitable residential or non-residential .structure, including offices, shall be allowed within any certified collapse area (fall zone) for any of these towers. Access: Physical access to each tower site shall be as approved by FDOT. Parking: Sufficient unpaved area shall be provided on or adjacent to each tower site to accommodate temporaW parking for ~one 'vehicle for servicinq .:or maintaining the communication tower. Landscape Buffer A landscape buffer no less than ten feet wide with trees planted 25 feet on center shall be developed and maintained around the perimeter each tower site and othei- related equipment, structures, and buildings. This buffer shall encompass all structures including the tower base. At least one row of native vegetation shall be planted within the buffer to form a continuous hedge at least three feet in height at planting. The buffer must be maintained in good condition.

REASON: There are occasions where an individual will build a home within a subdivision, but must wait for the developer to complete the subdivision improvements in order to receive a certificate of occupancy (CO). This proposed amendment would reduce the time in which a developer has to complete required subdivision improvements, thus reducing the possibility of a property o~vner being "held up" on a certificate of occupancy while the developer completes the required subdivision improvements. In some cases, the developer may decide to plat fewer Lots at a time in order to ensure completion of the required improvements within the time allowed by this section.

CHANGE: Add language to reference the proposed amendments to the protected species section of the Code. Amend the exception portion of 3.9.5.5.3 so that it is consistent with what is required in 3.9.5.5.4. This was an oversight when 3.9.5.5.4 was amended a few years ago. The last change is to simplify the plant size description at the end of 3.9.5.5.4. REASON: These amendments provide both clarifications to how we currently apply the Code and to how we anticipate applying it with the changes to the protected species section. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: See the fiscal impact statement regarding the changes to gopher tortoise protection. There will be no additional fiscal or operational impacts to the amendment to the exceptions section as Staff has been applying this criteria consistently to all development since the Board approved the last changes to this Section. This simply clarifies the procedure and provides for fair and equal review of all projects. RELATED CODES OR REGULATIONS: None Amend Subsection 3.9.5.5.3. as follows: Sec. 3.9.5 Vegetation removal, protection and preservation standards 3.9.5.5.2. All new developments shall retain existing native vegetation to the maximum extent possible; especially where said native vegetation exists within requiredbuffer areas. When protected species are identified on site, priority shall be given to preserving these habitats first, as a part of the retained native vegetation requirement (see section 3.11.3 for the manae;ement of these areas). Where the required minimum retained vegetation percentage has been met pursuant to sections 3.9.5.5.3 and 3.9.5.5.4 additional native vegetation shall be retained unless necessary grade changes, required infrastructure, stormwater management system design or approved construction footprints necessitate its removal. The need to remove additional existing native trees shall be demonstrated by the applicant as part of the vegetation removal review process. When required to be removed, existing viable native trees shall be transplanted into site landscaping unless the applicant can demonstrate that transplanting is not feasible or appropriate. Retained areas of vegetation shall be preserved in their entirety with all trees, understory, and ground covers left intact and undisturbed, except for prohibited exotic species removal, enhancement with native plant material and pruning and maintenance. 119 3.9.5.5.3. All new residential or mixed use developments greater than 2.5 acres in the Coastal Management Area as defined in the 1989 edition of the future land use element of the county growth management plan and greater than 20 acres in the Coastal Urban Designated Area as defined in the General Plan Requirements section (6.4.6) of the Adoption Notebook of the 1989 edition of the future land use element of the county growth management plan shall retain 25 percent of the viable naturally functioning native vegetation on-site including both the understory and the ground cover emphasizing the largest contiguous area possible. When protected species are identified on site, priority shall be given to preserving these habitats first, as a part of the retained native vegetation requirement (see section 3.11.3 for the management of these areas). When several different native plant communities exist on-site, the development plans will reasonably attempt to preserve examples of all of them, if possible. Areas of landscaping and open space which are planted with native species shall be included in the 25 percent requirement considering canopy understory and ground cover, providing that in such areas of credit, ground cover constitutes no more than 20 percent of the landscaped area. Where a project has included open space, recreational amenities or preserved wetlands that meet or exceed the minimum open space criteria of Collier County, this policy shall not be construed to require a larger percentage of open space set aside to meet the 25 percent native vegetation policy. This policy shall not be interpreted to allow development in wetlands, should the wetlands alone constitute more than 25 percent of the site. Exceptions, by means of mitigation in the form of increased landscape requirements, shall be granted for parcels, which cannot reasonably accommodate both the preservation area and the proposed activity. Where native preservation requirements are not accommodated, the landscape plan shall re-create a native plant community in all three strata (ground covers, shrubs and trees), utilizing larger plant materials so as to more quickly re- create the lost mature vegetation. Such re-vegetation shall apply the standards of Section 2.4.4. and include a quantity of plantings matching the amount of required preserved native veeetation that was removed. The followin~ minimum sizes shall apply: 1 gallon ground covers; 5 gallon shrubs; 14 foot high trees with a 7 foot crown spread and a dbh of three inches· Previously cleared parcels, void of native vegetation, shall be exempt from this requirement· Exceptions ~,~,n ,, .....

When protected species are id.entified on site, priority shall be given to preserving these habitats first, as a part of the retained native vegetation requirement (see section 3.11.3 for the management of these areas)· For new development under five acres, a minimum of ten percent of the native vegetation on-site (by area), shall be retained, including the understory. and ground cover. For new development five acres or greater, a minimum of 15 percent of the native vegetation on-site (by area), shall be retained, including the understory and ground cover.

Lorenz, Natural Resources Department Director DEPARTMENT: Planning Services; Natural Resources LDC PAGE: 3:147 LDC SECTION: 3.11.2 - 3.11.4 CHANGE: To provide additional language to the protected species section of the LDC, to provide staff the written support of requiring minimum habitat protection for gopher tortoises, so that we do not endanger their survival on approved developments. Note: It is Staffs intent to continue to work with the State, and receive input from the public and private consultants, regarding the need to address a Collier County regional gopher tortoise mitigation/relocation parcel. We understand the concerns from the consultants that it is not easy identifying off site relocation areas for tortoises. REASON: The Environmental Advisory Council initiated this proposed amendment and requested staff to prepare guidelines to better protect gopher tortoises and their habitat. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: There will be no additional time or cost anticipated for Planning Services staff to incorporate this LDC change into their review of projects. Staff currently revie~vs all petitions for habitat preservation. In fact, the requirement for the petitioner to provide better habitat for gopher tortoise will save staff time in that currently staff often spends time negotiating with applicants for higher quality preserve areas. This amendment will also reduce the time staff spends attending Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) meetings justifying either staff's or the applicants proposed preserve area. This amendment will not result in an increased operational or fiscal impact on either planning or code enforcement staff. Impacts on the petitioners and landowners will be more operational in nature than fiscal. They will not be asked to provide additional acres for the gopher tortoise preserves (beyond the current native vegetation preservation requirement). However,' any project already 'engineered but not yet approved may need to reconfigure their site plan to accommodate these changes. For new projects, it will only be necessary to identify the gopher tortoise preserve areas at the beginning of their site planning process and work around them. The EIS provides up front information to allow the developer to identify these areas. The EAC has requested that all projects brought before them clearly identify all the areas of required preservation on their master plans. In some cases, providing for on site preservation of gopher tortoises may remove the need for the petitioners to obtain incidental take permits and thereby would reduce that associated cost to their project. This amendment requires adequate on-site gopher tortoise preservation areas, but also recognizes that in some cases, on-site preserves may not be an option. As an example, on a relatively small site (10 acres or less), with a substantial gopher tortoise population, requiring the property owner to preserve land in accordance with the formula of no more than five tortoises per acre may; result in a preservation requirement that exceeds the current 15% requirement for parcels 10 acres or less in size. For this reason, as well as other reasons described below, the amendment 128 does allow for off-site relocation of tortoises (under specific criteria). Thus, the amendment does not require on-site land set-asides exceeding current preservation requirements. Since the LDC currently requires that the animals be relocated, this amendment will have no additional fiscal impact on property owners in requiring that sufficient habitat for tortoises be retained first on-site, or alternatively both on-site and off-site, and finally, under certain conditions, entirely off-site.

All protectionPlans shall be subject to review and approval by the project review services section of the development services department. The county may consider and utilize recommendations and letters of technical assistance of the Florida game and fresh water fish commission, and recommendations and guidelines of the USFWS, in issuing development orders on property containing wildlife species of special status. 3.11.3.4 Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) (1) All gopher tortoises, their habitats and the associated comensals (those occupying the burrows at the time tortoises are 'relocated) are hereby protected. It is expressly prohibited to take (harass, harm, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, col!ect, or.attemp..t t9 engage in.any such conduct_) any such gopher tortoise and to alter, destroy or degrade the functions and values of their natural habitat, unless otherwise provided for in this section. (2) All gopher tortoise burrows are protected and it is expressly prohibited to intentionally destroy or take one by any means, unless otherwise provided for in this section. (3) Provision is hereby made to allow personnel authorized by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or Collier County to house and relocate tortoises as necessary and provided for in this section. (4) When gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) are identified on site, a protection/management plan or off site 'relocation plan shall be submitted to the Planning Services Department of the Community Development'and Environmental Services Division, for review and approval. This shall apply to all new development and site improvements. It shall also apply to substantial amendments to existing development and site improvements, where gopher tortoise protection/management plans have not been previously approved by Collier County Planning Services Staff. The protection/management plan shall include, but not be limited to the following items: 1) a current gopher tortoise survey, which shall be field verified by Planning Services staff; 2) a proposal for either maintaining the population in place or relocating it; 3) a site plan identifying the boundaries of the gopher tortoise preserve; 4) the method ofrelocation if necessary; 5) the proposed supplemental plantings if needed; 6) a detail of the gopher tortoise fencing; 7) an annual maintenance plan describing exotic removal and possible additional plantings in the future and 8) identification of persons responsible for the initial and annual protection/management of the tortoises and the preserve area. Suitable gopher tortoise habitat shall be designated on the site plan at the time of the first ~.. .... ~._ 130 development order submittal. Suitable habitat preserved on site shall be credited to the preservation requirement as specified in Section 3.9.5 (5) Suitable habitat shall be defined as having the following characteristics: 1) the presence of well drained, sandy soils, which allow easy burrowing for gopher tortoises, 2) appropriate herbaceous ground cover (if not present, supplemental food sources shall be planted), 3) generally open canopy and sparse shrub cover which allow sufficient sunlight to reach the ground, and 4) typically, includes the presence of an existing gopher to~0ise population. Off site relocation plans may be permitted to meet all or part of the on site gopher tortoise habitat preservation requirements under the followin~ circumstances: a.) Where suitable habitat cannot be provided on site; or, b.) Where a property owner meets the minimum on site native vegetation preservations requirements of this code with jurisdictional wetlands and thus does not provide appropriate habitat for gopher tortoises as described above~ or, c.) Where a site is less than ten acres in size and based upon the above formula, the on site preserve would exceed fifteen percent of the gr0.s.s site acreage; or d.) Where in the opinion of the Community Development & Environmental Services Administrator, the requirement to provide the required on site gopher tortoise habitat preservation area will not be conducive to the long term health of the on site population of tortoises. If an off site relocation plan is authorized under one or more of the above conditions, approval of such a plan and associated State permit, shall be obtained from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The State permit shall be obtained prior to any site improvements or gopher tortoise relocation. Where appropriate, a combination of on site preservation and off site relocation may be considered. (7) (8) When relocating tortoises on site, the density shall be reviewed on a case by case basis and no more than 5 tortoises per acre will be considered a suitable density.. When identifying the native vegetation preservation requirement (per Section 3.9.5) .for parcels containing gopher tortoises, priority shall be given to protecting the largest most contiguous gopher tortoise habitat with the greatest number of active burrows, and for providing a connection to off site adjacent gopher tortoise preserves. All gopher tortoise preserves shall be platted as conservation easements, with protective covenants (3.2.9.2.10). If the project does not require being platted, such language shall be provided on the approved site development plan. When a decision is made to allow off site relocation of gopher tortoises, it shall still be a priority to preserve scrub habitat, when it exists on site, for its rare unique qualities and for bein~ one of the most endangered habitats in Collier County.. (9) When gopher tortoises are identified on platted single family lots (i.e. Golden Gate Estates or older subdivisions which were not adequately reviewed for' wildlife), or when the only development order being issued is a building permit for a single family home, the property owner shall be responsible' for 131 (10) identifying the presence of gopher tortoises on site and protecting them. The owner shall follow guidelines, designed by the Collier County Community Development and Environmental Services Division, for protecting gopher tortoises on single family lots. Gopher tortoises shall be removed from all active and inactive burrows located within the area of construction prior to any site improvements, in accordance with the protection/management plan approved by Collier County Planning Services Staff. Sec. 3.11.4. Penalties for violation: resort to other remedies. Violation of the provisions of this division or failure to comply with any of its requirements shall constitute a misdemeanor. Any person or firm who violates this division or fails to comply with any of its requirements shall upon conviction thereof be fined, or imprisoned, or both, as provided by law. Each day such violation continues shall be considered a separate offense. Each taking of a gopher tortoise shall constitute a separate violationl It is not the intent to include tortoises that may' be accidentally injured or killed durin~ an approved relocation procedure that is done by a qualified consultant, in accordance with their protection/management plan. Any other person, who commits, participates in, assists in, or maintains such violation may each be found guilty of a separate offense and suffer the penalties herein provided.

A floor area ratio is the relationship between the gross floor area on a site and the gross land area. The FAR is calculated by adding together the gross floor areas of all buildings on the site and dividing by the gross land area. Floor example, a floor area ratio of 1.0 means one (1) square foot of building may be constructed for each square foot of lot area. The gross floor area of a building clearly designed for parking shall not be included in the floor area ratio calculation.
