Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-04-28 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed change to land use rules for essential services in Collier County. The Board of County Commissioners is reviewing a rule that would prevent essential services, except those for public safety or permitted uses, from being built on land with a Natural Resource Index value over 1.2. This review is in its early stages. If approved, this rule change could affect future projects requiring essential services. Businesses involved in site preparation, construction, and related trades may be impacted by where these services can be located. Early engagement with county planning staff could provide insights into how this rule might shape future development opportunities.
