6/11/26 - HEX - DCI2025-00014 HONC 41 MPD

This Lee County, Florida quasi-judicial hearing held on June 11, 2026, focused on a rezoning request for approximately 17.96 acres to a Mixed-Use Planned Development (MPD) in the North Fort Myers Planning Community. The applicant proposed a development consisting of 30,000 square feet of commercial space and 120,000 square feet of light industrial space, with a detailed master concept plan and schedule of uses. Key procurement-related discussions included several requested deviations from the Land Development Code, such as access and interconnection requirements, parking lot interconnections, lake setback reductions, and retention of one of six existing billboards on site. The applicant and staff discussed conditions to ensure compliance with environmental preservation, buffering, and traffic impact mitigation, including a required right turn lane on US 41. Staff recommended conditions for open space, indigenous vegetation preservation, and public access. The hearing examiner requested clarifications and conditions related to access easements and billboard locations, leaving the record open until June 19, 2026, for final submissions before making a recommendation to the board. No contract awards or direct procurement actions were taken, but the approval of this rezoning and development plan will enable future construction and related procurement activities.
