Project Vision, History & Information...

Building Community Together.

The goal of the US 41 East Corridor Zoning Overlay Project is to prepare and implement a zoning overlay that reflects community input, promotes economic vitality, and both encourages a mix of land uses and includes development standards that address the community’s needs as envisioned in the East Naples Community Development Plan.

What is the US 41 East Corridor Zoning Overlay Project?

The US 41 East Corridor Zoning Overlay Project is a community-focused planning effort that will reflect the overall vision for the corridor as identified in the East Naples Community Development Plan (ENCDP), and as further refined with input from area residents, business owners, and other stakeholders. The proposed zoning overlay boundary begins on the east side of the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Area boundary and extends east to Port of the Islands.

The Project aims to embrace the area’s assets, address current land use needs, and respond to growth and development trends in the area. The community vision for the area includes:

Ensuring that development and redevelopment projects are of good quality and do not overwhelm existing assets and natural places in the community.
Providing diverse, high quality commercial options that allow for a broader range of places to shop, dine, and recreate.
Promoting development that is visually pleasing by increasing green space and natural spaces within the community; and,
Creating more transportation mobility options, including non-motorized options such as walking and biking, as well as improving connections between neighborhoods and local destinations.

What is a Zoning Overlay?

What is a Zoning Overlay?

Every parcel of land in the County is zoned for certain land uses, such as commercial, residential, industrial, agricultural, etc. This base zoning district determines the types of uses permitted and the dimensional standards for lots and buildings (such as minimum lot size and maximum building heights).

An overlay “sits on top” of that base zoning and modifies the uses and/or standards for those properties which lie “under” the overlay. Zoning overlays are used by communities to apply area-specific standards and/or conditions to promote and incentivize desired development within a defined geography.

About the US41 East Corridor Community Meetings

A series of 3 meetings were held for the community to offer their input and take an active role in the formation of the zoning overlay. The meetings were held in-person, with the option for remote or virtual attendance.

The first Community Meeting was held on April 20, 2022. In this meeting, we reviewed the goals, corridor diagram, and the vision for the US 41 East Corridor per the East Naples Community Development Plan. Attendees were asked to give feedback of the diagram and the vision, and how our collaborative vision could be achieved through elements such as streetscaping and landscaping, architecture, and pedestrian routes.

The 2nd Community Meeting was held October 26, 2022 and included a presentation of the draft zoning overlay, Transportation considerations, FDOT classification system, and up to 3 focus area renderings that illustrated potential project designs at key locations along the corridor. Attendees were asked to provide input before the finalization of the zoning overlay to advance through the Land Development Code Amendment process.

The 3rd and final Community Meeting was November 30, 2022. At this meeting, we presented the final draft zoning overlay before its delivery for the Land Development Code Amendment process.
