HDPs are not PUDs
Half development plan’s (HDP) are not planned unit developments. And, what we have proposed is an HDP. I am in favor of the proposed assisted living facility, if Marco Island residents are given priority for any openings, since that would merely mean transferring density from one part of the island to another. And, our residents deserve to have loved ones receive care close to their own homes.
But there is no commitment for the other part of the land. NCH will receive five million if this PUD is approved. We need to have that put toward a micro hospital open 24/7. East Collier County is growing rapidly, traffic and travel time is increasing, and hospital beds need to be increasing.
