A proposal to establish a new recovery residence off of Golden Gate Parkway, just east of I-75, has been postponed to a future Collier County Board of Commissioners meeting (date to be determined), giving residents more time to understand and weigh in on the project.
The plan—officially titled Hope Home II—would amend the county’s Growth Management Plan to create a new subdistrict, allowing the development of a recovery residence at 3150 62nd Street SW. The property is about 4.47 acres and sits near residential homes and the Kiddie Korral day care center on Golden Gate Parkway.
If approved, the zoning change would allow up to 23 residents and 3 supervisors to live on-site as part of a structured recovery program. The property could alternatively be used as a single-family home or family care facility.
This proposal is part of two related agenda items (Items 9.A. and 9.B.)—both continued to a future meeting. The second item calls for rezoning the property from its current “Estates” classification to a Community Facility Planned Unit Development (CFPUD) to support the planned use.
Residents in the area have raised concerns due to the property’s proximity to neighborhoods and the nearby daycare center. The county will require all speakers to be sworn in at the hearing, and commission members will need to disclose any outside conversations they’ve had about the proposal.
A map showing the location of the proposed project has been included in the county’s meeting materials for public reference.
Stay tuned for updates on the rescheduled hearing date, and be sure to attend if you’d like your voice to be heard.
