6/17/26 BoCC Zoning Hearing

The Lee County Board of County Commissioners held a zoning hearing on June 17, 2026, focusing primarily on zoning amendments and land use planning. The key procurement-related discussion involved the rezoning of 3.9 acres in Lehigh Acres from commercial plan development and single-family residential to commercial plan development, increasing the allowable commercial footprint from 25,000 to 40,000 square feet. Conditions included traffic management measures to limit truck deliveries to Lee Boulevard and improvements to 5th Street West. The board unanimously approved the rezoning with conditions. Additionally, the board considered a privately initiated text amendment to Goal 13 of the Lee Plan, which was transmitted to the state with no objections from reviewing agencies. The board also voted to continue a final agenda item to a future hearing date. No direct contract awards, vendor selections, or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
