WE, THE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES ALONG THE LIVINGSTON ROAD CORRIDOR AND OF NORTH NAPLES AND COLLIER COUNTY,IF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AT THE COMING SEPT.24 HEARING ALLOW THIS DENSITY CHANGE THE LONG-STANDING ZONING PLAN AT THIS CORNER ON LIVINGSTON ROAD, NO COMMUNITY IN COLLIER COUNTY IS SAFE FROM FURTHER REZONING AT THE WHIM OF DEVELOPERS.
IF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AT THE COMING SEPT.24 HEARING ALLOW THIS DENSITY CHANGE TO THE LONG-STANDING ZONING PLAN AT THIS CORNER ON LIVINGSTON ROAD, NO COMMUNITY IN COLLIER COUNTY IS SAFE FROM FURTHER REZONING AT THE WHIM OF DEVELOPERS.
The North Naples Communities along the Livingston Road corridor have been opposing the rezoning of the southeast corner of Livingston Road and Veterans Memorial Parkway since Stock Development first submitted a petition in August of 2018 to build six, 420 unit apartments on 35 acres at the southeast corner of Livingston Rd. and Veterans Memorial Parkway. As the rezoning and growth management plan change petition made its way through the Collier County Planning Commission and the Board of Collier County Commissioners, with our communities showing up to be heard and to protest, by emails and with signs, the scope of the Allura project has been whittled down. Coming back from transmittal to Tallahassee, the petition now requests 304 units on the 35 acres, with a maximum of three stories. The proposed density of 8.5 units per acre is still double original plan of four.
At the August 1st, 2019 Planning Commission Hearing, the Planning Commission gave our community coalition its first victory – they turned down Stock’s request to build Allura. The Planning Commissioners reiterated our concerns: the project is INCOMPATIBLE with our residential communities, the TRAFFIC INCREASE would further exacerbate the traffic problems now and in the future on Livingston Road, the petitioners (Stock) DID NOT SHOW AN OVERWHELMING NEED FOR THIS APARTMENT PROJECT AT THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION.
Stock’s proposal is simply too big on too little, incompatible with the existing, established residential communities that surround this corner. The addition of two cars per unit, 608 cars, will add significantly to an already traffic-challenged road, especially with the advent of a new high school west on Veterans, the opening of Seed to Table on Livingston corner Immokalee, with the planned developments of condominiums and homes on the opposite corner acres, and for those who live in the residential communities that use Livingston on a daily basis, to work, to school, to whatever their lives require.
The Board of Collier County Board of Commissioners take up the Allura petition next, scheduled to be heard on Sept.24, 2019. THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS CAN STILL OVERRIDE THE DECISION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND VOTE TO APPROVE ALLURA, AT 304 UNTS AND THREE STORY, OR VOTE FOR EVEN MORE UNITS AND BACK TO FOUR STORY.
The Board of Commissioners must take the opportunity on Sept.24 to support and reinforce the Aug.1st decision of the Planning Commission to deny the Allura petition.
WE NEED SIGNATURES ON THIS PETITION to show our opposition to any increase in the planned density of four per acre.LET’S LET THE COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS KNOW HOW WE FEEL ABOUT THIS TOO BIG ON TOO LITTLE, INCOMPATIBLE, OUT OF PLACE ALLURA PROJECT.

We are approaching 250 signatures heading into the Board of Commissioners hearing. Reaching this specific threshold provides the necessary leverage for our formal meeting with the Planning Commission representatives. I need everyone to increase the visibility of this petition within your local neighborhood groups immediately.

We have reached one hundred signatures. I am compiling this list to submit to the Board of Commissioners before the hearing.

I agree that this project should be stopped. The additional traffic will seriously affect the already heavy volume, particularly in season. Also with the addition of the new school to be built in this area it would put the children in greater danger.
I agree with the petition against this project. In addition to stated Livingston Rd traffic concerns, tenants of 273 new Mosaic apartments, plus 240 at Versol and 264 more units at Bonita Beach and 75 will be using this North-South traffic corridor.
Vote no on this project. There is already congestion on Livingston with the Middle School and will be more with the planned High School. Zoning and community planning should not be left to the whim of developers who only want to line their pockets with no regard to the neighboring communities.
Allura does not fit the low density residential neighborhoods that surround the corner of Livingston Rd and Veterans. It is enormously incompatible, it is not needed, and will be a terrible precedent for any community in Collier County that relies on sound planning and zoning.
Please follow the planning commison in turning down this project which does not fit with any of the communities around. Employees of Arthrex have said they want HOUSES not apartments. This type of housing in not needed and is incompatible.
The traffic that this proposal would bring is not considering the safety of residents. Please reconsider and look for a different location. I vote No
Totally opposed.

We don’t want this. We can’t drive on Livingston Road in season heading Northbound as it is. It takes me almost 45 minutes to get to Bonita Beach Road from Veterans Parkway area. And out of season if there is a problem on I-75. We aren’t against the affordable housing project but against its location.
