The Site is identified as a Focus Development Node in the adopted Bayshore Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area Plan 2019 Update (hereinafter the “Redevelopment Plan”). The CRA has constructed a boardwalk across the Site, fulfilling a Redevelopment Plan objective to connect pedestrians from Bayshore Drive on the west, to Sugden Park, on the east. Any proposed development shall be designed to recognize and reasonably accommodate this planned public improvement. The Redevelopment Plan also prioritizes the development of a performance space or a multi-purpose CRA office/arts/incubator space on the Site.

Development standards for the Bayshore Redevelopment Area are implemented through the Bayshore Zoning Overlay (hereinafter, “BZO”) in the Collier County Land Development Code. The BZO standards are intended to encourage pedestrian-oriented mixed-use development that includes commercial and higher density residential uses along Bayshore Drive, as further outlined in the detailed Scope of Work. Individual buildings are encouraged to be multi-story with uses that are mixed vertically, i.e., commercial uses at street level and office or residential uses above street level. Drive-through businesses are not contemplated or desired on these parcels. Compliance with the BZO and any approved deviations shall be subject to the County’s land development review and approval processes and are not guaranteed by issuance of this ITN.

The Redevelopment Area Plan articulates the redevelopment goals for the Bayshore and Gateway Triangle Area. Properties in the CRA present a variety of opportunities to support improvement and redevelopment. Proposers are encouraged to offer creative solutions for developing the property in a way that is aesthetically pleasing and of high architectural quality and serves the community’s interest, thereby reinforcing the area’s desire for quality redevelopment that is compatible with the residential neighborhoods abutting the property.
