17.110.010 Objectives and characteristics.

The special residential zone (R-S) is intended to create a specific location in the city for assisted living elderly housing. Development in the R-S zone will typically be higher density than other residential areas in the city, and therefore should be built in a way that is friendly to neighboring residences by being architecturally consistent. Assisted living elderly housing should be a healthy part of the steady growth of Naples City. [LUO § 02-35-001.]

17.110.020 Permitted uses.

The following use is allowed in the R-S zone:

(1) Assisted living elderly housing consisting of no more than 16 dwelling units. [LUO § 02-35-002.]

17.110.030 Other requirements.

Minimum frontage: 100 feet.

Minimum lot area: 20,000 square feet.

Minimum front setback for any structure: 30 feet.

Minimum side setback for any structure: 10 feet.

Minimum rear setback for any structure: 20 feet.

Maximum height for any structure: 25 feet.

The lot area around the buildings and structures shall be kept free from refuse and debris.

Architectural renderings and the site plan are required for review by the planning commission to recommend to the city council for required approval.

A minimum of one off-street parking space is required for every two dwelling units (round up if necessary), plus two additional parking spaces. For example, a structure containing 16 dwelling units would require a total of 10 off-street parking spaces.

Trash containers shall be located within a trash container enclosure and must be screened 100 percent from public roads, parks, and adjacent residential uses.

Lighting shall be directed away from adjacent residential uses.

A plat design including meaningful landscaping and its maintenance is required. Meaningful landscaping is grass, trees, shrubs, xeriscape, etc., in an appealing layout and size arrangement approved by the planning commission. Landscaping shall be maintained by the property owner. At least 80 percent of the lot area not covered by buildings or parking shall be maintained as open space and landscaped. A minimum of one tree per 3,000 square feet of the landscape area is required.

A guarantee bond or other financial guarantee shall be required, guaranteeing landscaping and other improvements within a year of occupancy, at the building official’s option. See Chapter 17.115 NCC, Subdivisions, for the procedures of bonds. [LUO § 02-35-003.]
