Naples City Council will discuss potential changes to its land development code at a Monday workshop.
The council has recently made some changes to its development rules. It’s looking to make more of them, with the vision and goal of protecting the city’s small-town charm.
Here’s what we know:
Proposed Naples land development code changes to be discussed
-
The city is considering four land use changes. That includes new limits on lot coverage ‒ or building footprint –which has sparked controversy.
-
The other proposed changes would increase height restrictions for commercial and mixed-used buildings, stiffen development standards for Fifth Avenue South, and tighten up on regulations for determining the maximum density and intensity, or size, of mixed-used projects.
-
The city has hired a planning consultant to make recommendations on how to move forward.
-
The private consultant, Josh Martin, with Sustainable Settlement LLC, is calling for more public input before crafting any revisions.
-
The consultant has suggested the city hold “two or three community listening sessions” to ensure a more “thoughtful process.”
