# 11/05/26 - HEX - DCI2025-00011 & SEZ2026-00012 FL-016 North Fort Myers

Lee County, Florida, hearing examiner land-use hearing on November 5, 2026, concerning cases DCI2025-00011 and SEZ2026-00012 for a North Fort Myers wireless facility. The applicant sought an amendment to the planned development and a special exception to replace an existing unipole with a 154-foot monopole, including three deviations related to height and setbacks. Verizon is expected to use the replacement tower, and AT&T provided a letter stating its intent to colocate. The existing tower would be removed after the new one is operational. County staff recommended approval, and the applicant adopted staff’s analysis and proposed conditions. The examiner discussed how the new resolution would relate to prior zoning approvals and confirmed that she has final decision-making authority; no final ruling or vote is stated in the transcript.

The record included county agency non-objections and an FAA determination of no hazard to air navigation. No members of the public attended, and no contract award, purchasing decision, budget allocation, or other procurement activity was identified.
