BCC Meetings

BCC Meeting of May 23, 2023

Voted and passed (Commissioners Kowal, LoCastro, McDaniel, Saunders voted in favor. Commissioner Hall opposed.): Recommendation to approve a rezoning Ordinance for The Haven at North Naples MPUD to allow The Carlisle Assisted Living Facility with a maximum 0.65 Floor Area Ratio with a percentage of affordable housing units at Orange Blossom Drive and Airport Road.

GNFD is discussing the potential for taking over fire plan review

and evaluating fee increases to align with NNFD.

CBIA leadership is following these matters closely and communicating both with GNFD officials and CCGM director Jamie French.

CBIA has shared with all involved that there are two issues within the process of fire review and inspections that must be addressed, whether the county or GNFD handles fire plan review. They are:

-The process for fire review must remain in CityView

-Improvements need to be made in aligning reviewer determinations

with inspector decisions.

CBIA will continue to monitor these matters, communicate with the county

and GNFD and report back to members.
