HEX Final Decision 2017-24 HEX NO. 2017—24
HEARING EXAMINER DECISION
PETITION NO. PDI-PL20170002630 — Pulte Home Company, LLC requests an
insubstantial change to the Buckley MPUD, Ordinance No. 14-24, as amended, to reduce
the minimum lot area and minimum lot width for single family detached dwelling units.
The subject property is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Airport-
Pulling Road and Orange Blossom Drive, in Section 2, Township 49 South, Range 25 East,
Collier County, FL, consisting of 21.7± acres.
DATE OF HEARING: October 12, 2017
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
FINDINGS:
Based on the applicant's written petition, testimony at the hearing of the applicant and the
recommendation of staff, the Hearing Examiner finds that the criteria set forth in Sections
10.02.13 E.1 and 10.02.13 E.2 of the Land Development Code has been met and the petition
should be approved.
ANALYSIS:
No objections have been received for this application and no members of the public, other than
those associated with the Applicant, attended the hearing.
The requested minor reductions in lot width and overall size are for the single-family product
only and both minor changes are consistent with other similarly approved zoning actions. This
does NOT represent any change in total units allowed or overall density and is limited to minor
reductions in lot size and width for more flexibility in product design. Both changes requested
are for standards interior to the development only.
DECISION:
The Hearing Examiner hereby approves Petition Number PDI-PL20170002630, filed by Lindsay
Robin of Waldrop Engineering, PA. representing Pulte Home Company, LLC, with respect to
the property as described in the Buckley MPUD, Ordinance No. 14-24, as amended, for an
insubstantial change to reduce the minimum lot area and minimum lot width for single family
detached dwelling units. Said change is fully described in the Buckley MPUD amendment
attached as Exhibit"A", and is subject to the condition(s) set forth below.

agency or undertakes actions that result in a violation of state or federal law.
