Urban utility
What useful access, connection, daily function, or public-realm performance can this site support under the controlling record?
PARCEL-BOUND URBANISM · FOUR TESTS
Test the site.
Not the slogan.
One parcel, one current decision, and one evidence boundary. The method publishes what the record supports and keeps gaps visible. Never a citywide score.
A client cannot purchase a score, ranking, or predetermined conclusion.
THE FOUR EXACT TESTS
Utility. Carry. Cost. Verification.
Material factual claims point to identified sources or are expressly qualified.
Carry vs premium
Which recurring costs and obligations must be carried, and which claimed benefits are only potential until the evidence and delivery state support them?
Who holds the cost
Name the party, instrument, timing, and capital class for land, infrastructure, operation, maintenance, mitigation, and delay.
Civic verification
Identify the public record, observable condition, and next clock that can verify or disprove the site's civic claim.
INSPECTABLE PROOF · EVIDENCE CUT JULY 31, 2026
870 Goodlette-Frank Road.
The question: does the approved site-plan record establish a connected land-use, access, public-realm, infrastructure, resilience, and delivery case?
Proposal
The design-review application identifies an eight-story dual-brand hotel proposal at 870 Goodlette-Frank Road.
Site-plan action
City Council draft minutes record a 5–2 conditional approval of Resolution 2026-15840 and petition 25-SP1 on April 15, 2026.
Mobility + access
The reviewed record does not establish a complete mobility or access-performance finding.
Public realm
The reviewed record does not establish delivered public-realm performance.
Infrastructure + resilience
The reviewed record does not establish infrastructure capacity or resilience performance.
Delivery
The reviewed record does not establish later design approval, permits, financing, construction, ownership, or delivery.

A repeatable site record.
The template disciplines the question; it does not predetermine the answer.
Parcel
870 Goodlette-Frank Road, Naples, Florida — used as the method template, not as a citywide proxy.
Question
One named site decision, current evidence cut, decision owner, and deadline.
Record
Parcel, entitlement, access, infrastructure, capital, ownership, and public-action instruments.
Ruling
A finding for this parcel only, with each limitation, conflict, dependency, and next clock attached.
Parcel-bound. No citywide score. Gaps stay visible.
