Naples to discuss new redevelopment rules to keep small town feel

NAPLES, Florida. The City of Naples is hosting a workshop to discuss rules that require a homeowner to have green spaces on their property on Monday.

This is a question the city has been studying for many years. Their main concern is that as Naples continues to recover and grow, they want to make sure the city retains its character and retains as much of its small town charm as possible.

The increase in green space is the most significant change that the council wants to improve during the redevelopment.

Currently, some residential and commercial areas do not have regulations requiring owners to have a certain amount of green space.

Some zoning areas allow a building to be built from lot line to lot line, allowing builders to build structure by structure.

This results in a small number of transactions between buildings.

Some council members are concerned that some lots have many houses and little greenery.

The council will discuss solutions for both residential and commercial spaces.
