APPLICANT: Wilder/BN Jones Loop Holdings, LLC
800 Boylston Street, Suite 1300
Boston, MA 02199
OWNER’S AGENT: Ted R. Brown Esquire/Baker& Hostetler, LLP
200 South Orange Avenue, Suite 2300

Taylor Road (765A), straddling North Jones Loop Road in the Punta
Gorda area, Florida.
ACCOUNT NUMBER: Multiple, the account numbers are in the packet
RESEARCH AND FINDINGS:1
The applicant has not provided sufficient information regarding the potential impact to the2
comprehensive plan. For instance, the Public Works Director does not know what impacts the3
proposal will have on the Transportation and Capital Improvements Elements. Further, other4
material provided by the applicant arrived late. However, in reviewing this issue on October 8,5
2007, the Planning and Zoning Board, in the spirit of cooperation with the applicant, decided to6
address the issue at a later time, voting to recommend transmittal to the Department of Community7
Affairs with a recommendation of approval. As a result, the research and findings section is8
incomplete, and so staff’s recommendation is to transmit the application to the Department of9
Community Affairs with a recommendation of denial.10

Commercial
Corridor
(existing)
Commercial Corridors are areas located along major urban corridors within
Charlotte County. These corridors generally include, but are not limited to, US
41, US 17, SR 776, CR 775, and CR 771. Allowable uses shall include retail
and service uses, wholesale stores, professional offices, hotels, motels, and
restaurants. Maximum building coverage shall not exceed 50%. Maximum
floor area ratio shall not exceed .60. A property that was designated prior to
June 10, 2003, on the Zoning Atlas either as Office, Medical and Institutional
(“OMI”), or as Commercial Tourist (“CT”), or as a multi-family zoning
designation of Residential, multifamily (“RMF”) or as Residential,
multifamily/tourist (“RMF-T”) , shall be allowed to develop multi-family
residential at a density not to exceed the density as specified in the Code of
Laws and Ordinances of Charlotte County, Florida (“County Code”), for the
Zoning Atlas designation applicable to that property. The applicable County
Code sections for the Zoning Atlas designations and their respective maximum
densities are as follows: Section 3-9-39, OMI – 10 units per acre; Section 3-9-
45, CT – 15 units per acre; Section 3-9-33, RMF - 3.5 to 15 units per acre,
depending on which RMF zoning designation is applicable to the particular
property; and Section 3-9-34, RMF-T – 6 units per acre.
Low Density
Residential
(existing)
These lands are designated for urban residential uses. Low Density Residential
lands may be developed at a density from 1 dwelling unit per acre to 5 dwelling
units per acre, with the exception of manufactured housing from 1 dwelling unit
per acre to 6 dwelling units per acre. Uses on land designated as such include:
single-family residential dwelling units, multi-family residential dwelling units,
manufactured residential dwelling units, recreational facilities, sub-
neighborhood commercial centers, and schools.
Commercial
Center
(existing)
These lands are designated for commercial, institutional, and professional office
activities. Commercial Centers are lands in which retail, service, and office uses
currently exist or a need is projected in the future. They are further differentiated into
categories, which are indicated below and which are determined by land area.
Commercial Center designated sites are intended to form nodal commerce centers and not
perpetuate strip commercial. A property that was designated prior to October 7, 1997, on
the Zoning Atlas either as Office, medical and institutional (“OMI”), or as Commercial
Tourist (“CT”), or as a multi-family designation of Residential, multifamily (“RMF”), or
as Residential, multifamily/tourist (“RMF-T”), shall be allowed to develop multi-family
residential not to exceed the density as specified in the Code of Laws and Ordinances of
Charlotte County, Florida (“County Code”), for the Zoning Atlas designation applicable
to that property. The applicable County Code sections for the Zoning Atlas designations
and their respective maximum densities are as follows: Section 3-9-39, OMI – 10 units
per acre; Section 3-9-45, CT – 15 units per acre; Section 3-9-33, RMF – 3.5 to 15 units
per acre, depending on which RMF designation is applicable to the particular property;
and Section 3-9-34, RMF-T – 6 units per acre.
Mixed Use Mixed Use DRI designates lands which, because of their character, magnitude,

or location, have substantial effects upon the health, safety, and welfare of
citizens within Charlotte County and at least one additional surrounding county
or municipality. Lands designated as such meet the threshold requirements
identified within Chapter 380.06, Florida Statutes and must undergo
intergovernmental review as specified in that chapter as a Development of
Regional Impact (DRI). All developments within a Mixed Use DRI district must
be constructed in accordance with a final development order approved by the
Board of County Commissioners.
ZONING
DESIGNATION
DEVELOPMENT STANDARD
Mobile Home
Conventional
(existing)
The mobile home conventional (MHC) district is intended to provide for mobile
homes and conventional single-family structures in an environment of residential
character. Uses not compatible with single-family residential uses are prohibited.
This district shall be applied to existing developments containing a mixture of
mobile homes and conventional dwelling units.
• Minimum lot area is 7,500 square feet
• Minimum width is 60 feet.
• Maximum lot coverage is 35 percent.
• Maximum building height is 38 feet.
• Maximum density is 5 units per acre.
Residential Single
Family, 5
(existing)
The residential, multi-family (RMF) districts are intended to be low-or high-
density residential districts with emphasis on multifamily use.
• Minimum lot area is 7,500 square feet
• Minimum width is 80 feet.
• Maximum lot coverage is 35 percent.
• Maximum building height is 60 feet.
• Maximum density is 5 units per acre.
Agriculture, Estate
(existing)
Agriculture districts are intended to retain the open character of the land.
Permitted uses are limited to conservation, agriculture, low-density residential,
recreation and other uses consistent therewith.
Agriculture and agricultural activities are frequently associated with noise,
odors, dust, aerial chemical spraying, and other activities generally
incompatible with urban-style living. However, agriculture forms a vital
segment of the economy of the state, and provides diversity of economic
opportunity and life styles for the county. Therefore, it is the purpose of the
agricultural districts to provide areas for the establishment and/or continuation
of agricultural operations with residential uses being permitted only at very
low densities and to accommodate those individuals who understand and
desire to live in an agricultural environment.
The primary difference between these districts is that agriculture estate (AE)
districts are intended to exist only within the urban service area while
agriculture general (AG) districts are intended to exist only outside the urban
service area.
• Minimum lot area is 1 acres
• Minimum width is 125 feet.
• Maximum lot coverage is 20 percent.
• Maximum building height is 38 feet.
• Maximum density is 1 unit per acre (is in the Urban Service Area).
Commercial,
General
The commercial, general (CG) district is intended to provide areas in which the
customary and traditional conduct of trade, retail sales and commerce may be
6. Petition Number: PA-06-07-52 12/19/2016
6
(existing) carried on without disruption by the encroachment and intrusion of incompatible
residential uses and protected from the adverse effects of undesirable industrial
uses.
• Minimum lot area is 12,000 square feet
• Minimum width is 100 feet.
• Maximum lot coverage is 50 percent.
• Maximum building height is 60 feet.
Industrial, General
(existing)
The purpose and intent of the industrial, general (IG) district is to permit
the designation of suitable locations for and to facilitate the proper
development and use of areas devoted to various heavy industrial uses
which have the potential of producing extensive adverse impacts on
surrounding land uses or resources. Such uses include those which
produce noise, odors, noxious or toxic by-products, increased hazards of
fire or explosion, or are generally incompatible with lower intensity land
uses. In certain cases, such uses may be permitted specifically only as a
special exception.
• Minimum lot area is 40,000 square feet
• Minimum width is 200 feet.
• Maximum lot coverage is 40 percent.
• Maximum building height is 60 feet.
Commercial,
Intensive
(existing)
The purpose and intent of the commercial, intensive (CI) district is to permit the
designation of suitable locations for and to facilitate the proper development and
use of land for those commercial activities which are like or which have many of
the same needs as industrial land uses. Such uses often rely on large ground
areas for storage or display of goods, are relatively insensitive to the impacts of
adjacent land uses, while generating substantial impacts on their neighbors.
Commercial, intensive land uses are generally services, particularly
warehousing, distribution and compatible businesses oriented to the sale and
service of automobiles and boats. The CI district is and is intended to be
intermediate between consumer-oriented commercial and light industrial uses.
• Minimum lot area is 12,000 square feet
• Minimum width is 100 feet.
• Maximum lot coverage is 50 percent.
• Maximum building height is 60 feet.

plans. Prior to any development taking place onsite, a permit must be issued. In Charlotte17
County, stormwater management facilities are generally constructed on the project site as18
development proceeds. Prior to receiving stormwater management approval, a facility19
must meet or exceed the minimum level of service requirements adopted in the 1997-201020
Charlotte County Comprehensive Plan (Objective 1.3, Policies 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3,21
Infrastructure Element). Consistent with 9J-5.0055 (3)(a), Florida Administrative Code,22
the stormwater management facility must meet the minimum level of service standard and23
be available to serve new development by the time a certificate of occupancy is issued.24

17. 1997-2010 Comprehensive Plan; Goals, Objectives, and Policies that may be relevant to8
the proposed amendment:9
Future Land Use Element10
Goal 1 (Growth Management): Charlotte County will manage growth and development in a11
manner which safeguards the public investment, balances the benefits of economic growth with12
the need for environmental protection, and prevents urban sprawl.13
Objective 1.2(Concurrency): Charlotte County will require the availability of service14
concurrent with the impacts of development, as provided by Section 163.3177(10)(h), F.S.15
Decisions regarding the location, extent and intensity of future land use in Charlotte County,16
particularly urban-type expansion, will ensure consistency with the type of uses and17
development established within each designated Urban and Rural Service Area. Future land use18
decisions will also be based on the physical constraints and financial feasibility of providing19
areas with services at levels of service (LOS), concurrent with the impact of development, that20
meet or exceed the minimum standards adopted in the Comprehensive Plan.21
Policy 1.2.4 Within the time frame provided by Section 163.3202(1), F.S. the Community22
Development and Construction Services Departments will ensure that development oders will23
be based on the County’s ability to maintain minimum levels of service, and will coordinate24
with other agencies in administering the Concurrency Management System to ensure that the25
necessary public facilities and services are available at the adopted Level of Service concurrent26
with the impacts of development.27
28
Goal 2 (Land Use Patterns): Charlotte County will provide for a variety of development29
opportunities and will promote freedom of individual choice consistent with the Urban Service30
Area strategy.31
Policy 2.5.11 To assist in maintaining the level of service along Burnt Store Road, an access32
management plan shall be adopted by Charlotte County prior to 2020, or construction of33
roadway improvements and criteria shall be established for minimum separation of access34
points in the County Land Development Code.35
Policy 2.5.12 To ensure that adequate funding sources are available for the provision of36
infrastructure, improvements will be funded through a variety of mechanisms that include,37
Community Development Districts (CDDs), Municipal Services Taxing Units (MSTUs), rebate38
agreements, grants and impact fees. Charlotte County will evaluate funding options, including39
the use of bonds and other revenues to expedite the widening of Burnt Store Road from the40
current timeline of 2015 to 2008.41
42
Goal 4 (Land Development): Charlotte County will regulate the use of land in the public43
interest to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their citizens and also to safeguard the44
public investment.45
46
12. Petition Number: PA-06-07-52 12/19/2016
12
Policy 2.2.28(Modified by Ordinance # 2005-002, Adopted on January 18, 2005): The1
following designations shall be used for lands that contain or may contain a vertical and/or2
horizontally arranged mixed-use or multi-use development. Lands designated Mixed Use will3
allow a development style that combines diverse but compatible uses under a cohesive, master4
planned design. Mixed-use development is intended to encourage a variety of community5
activities and services to co-exist in close proximity. The resulting compact development6
should thereby reduce the need for extensive automobile travel. As specified in 9J-5.006(4)(c),7
the policy(ies) that implement and guide development in these districts will include the types of8
land uses allowed, the percentage distribution among the mix of uses, or other objective9
measurement, and the density or intensity of each use. In the case of a Mixed Use DRI district,10
these standards (type, distribution, intensity, and other objective measures) of land use shall be11
written into the locally adopted development order as provided in section 380.06, Florida12
Statutes.13
14
Mixed Use Development of Regional Impact [DRI]15
Mixed Use DRI designates lands which, because of their character, magnitude, or location,16
have substantial effects upon the health, safety, and welfare of citizens within Charlotte County17
and at least one additional surrounding county or municipality. Lands designated as such meet18
