LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT
PETITION

SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT
This Land Development Code (LDC) amendment updates the applicability
of the Comparable Use Determination provisions to include the Industrial
(I) zoning district. 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
Subcommittee).

BACKGROUND
On November 10, 2020, the Board adopted Ordinance 2020-44, which was an LDC amendment
(PL20190000389) that changed the Zoning Verification Letter-Comparable Use Determination process. Prior to
its adoption, when an applicant wanted to know if an unlisted use was comparable to a listed use in a conventional
zoning district, the applicant would have to submit a Zoning Verification Letter -Comparable Use Determination
application to the County. Staff would review the application, decide on its compatibility, and draft a ZVL
accordingly, and the ZVL would then be scheduled for a public hearing with either the Hearing Examiner (HEX)
or the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) for their affirmation. However, with the adoption of Ordinance 2020-44,
the CUD process was removed from the ZVL process, and a separate process was created for the CUD, along
with new evaluation criteria. With this improved process in place, when a CUD application is received, staff now
generates a Staff Report, includes a recommendation, and forwards both to the HEX, who serves as the final
decision maker, or Board of Zoning Appeals, by resolution. The adoption of Ordinance 2020-44 also eliminated
the applicability of the Comparable Use provisions from the lists of conditional uses in many zoning districts,
including the Industrial (I) Zoning District, which had been in the LDC since 2008.
On October 12, 2021, the Board reviewed four motions filed by the owner of the proposed Isles of Capri Food
Truck Park. During this item, the Board directed staff to bring back an LDC amendment emphasizing the need
to have the conditional use process apply to CUD applications, and for each CUD request be examined for
comparability, compatibility, and consistency on a site-specific basis only—and not applied uniformly to all areas
within the County that share the same zoning district or to other zoning classifications having higher intensities.
In response to the Board’s direction, staff drafted another LDC amendment (PL20220000207) with the goal of
clearing any confusion or the misapplication of the scope of a CUD, so that each request would be restricted to a
site-specific location (e.g., lot, parcel, tract of land, etc.) and correct any unintended consequences of expanding
the CUD process beyond what the Board intended. On October 11, 2022, staff requested direction from the Board
to advertise the draft Ordinance. The LDC amendment included the requirement that all CUD applications need
to obtain conditional use approval (except for applications involving properties within certain PUD). The Board
directed staff to advertise the draft ordinance, and no changes to the I Zoning District was proposed at that time.
However, when the Board reviewed the LDC amendment at their meeting on January 24, 2023, the Board wanted
2
G:\LDC Amendments\Advisory Boards and Public Hearings\DSAC\2026\02-04\Materials\PL20250014625 Comparable Use in Industrial -
LDCA (01-23-2026).docx
to reevaluate the conditional use component of the amendment. During that meeting, the Board wanted to make
it clear that their intent was such that if a CUD is approved on one parcel, that its approval on that one parcel does
not entitle the use on a different parcel, even within the same zoning district. The Board wanted to ensure that
the CUD application is site-specific and demonstrate compatibility with the neighborhood. The item was
continued until the following month. The LDC amendment returned to the Board on February 28, 2023; however,
this version did not contain the conditional use component, and no changes were proposed to the lists of permitted
or conditional uses in any zoning district. The LDC amendment clarified that if the CUD was not reviewed by
the HEX, it would be reviewed by the CCPC, then the CCPC would offer their recommendation to the BZA. The
Board approved the LDC amendment (PL20220000207), resulting in the adoption of Ordinance 2023-16.
Staff began working on another LDC amendment (PL20250000180) that affected the CUD process. This LDC
amendment required that a public notice sign must be posted on a property involving a CUD request prior to the
advertised public hearing. On October 28, 2025, the Board approved the LDC amendment, resulting in the
adoption of Ordinance 2025-51. The LDC amendment also amended the definitions section (LDC section
1.08.02), by defining “Comparable Use Determination” as follows:
“A process, in accordance with LDC section 10.03.06 K, to determine whether a use for a site specific location that
is not expressly listed within a conventional zoning district, overlay, or PUD ordinance is comparable in nature and
consistent with the list of identified permitted uses in a conventional zoning district, overlay, or PUD ordinance.”
On December 9, 2025, the Board declared the addition of the comparable use language to the I Zoning District as
an act of “Zoning in Progress,” which allows for staff to process comparable use request, while developing this
LDC amendment.
DSAC-LDR Subcommittee Recommendation: On January 20, 2026, the DSAC-LDR Subcommittee recommended
approval of the LDC amendment and is recommending to the DSAC that the Comparable Use Determination
provision be extended to include the Rural Agricultural (A) zoning district.
FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS
There are no anticipated fiscal or operational
impacts associated with this amendment.
GMP CONSISTENCY
The proposed LDC amendment has been reviewed by
Comprehensive Planning staff and may be deemed
consistent with the GMP.
