Board of Zoning Appeals 9/29/2026

The City of Punta Gorda Board of Zoning Appeals held a quasi-judicial meeting; metadata gives the date as September 29, 2026, while the transcript opens by calling the September 28 meeting to order. The board recommended approval to City Council of AdventHealth Port Charlotte’s variance request V-01-2026 for hospital-campus parking at 26072 Glasgow Avenue. The motion, which carried, allows up to 1 parking space per 150 square feet of off-site emergency department area, 6 spaces per hospital bed, and 1 space per 150 square feet of medical-office area, and permits parking beyond building front facades. The discussion also addressed paved versus permeable parking surfaces and stormwater concerns.

The applicant cited flooding, lost seating and revenue, and pedestrian safety concerns; board members discussed the variance criteria and existing conditions at nearby restaurants. The transcript ends before the board’s disposition of this request is recorded. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
