[1130 Chandler Gove Dr and 2327 Trafalgar Pkwy; case RZN26-000002] The City of Cape Coral is requesting a rezone for two undeveloped, city-owned parcels totaling 23.14 acres. The rezoning is from Agricultural-2 (AG-2) and Single-Family Residential (R1) to Commercial (C). This action is intended to align with a proposed future land use amendment to Parks and Recreation (PK) and expand the Cape Coral Sports Complex. The staff recommendation is approval. [Unit 79 Block 6408 Tract I Tropicana Park; case RZN26-000003] The City of Cape Coral is requesting a city-initiated, small-scale rezoning of 2.54 acres at Tropicana Park from Mixed-Use Seven Islands (MX7) to Single-Family Residential (R1). This rezoning aims to align the zoning with existing parkland uses, including a playground and pavilion, and a companion future land use map amendment to Parks and Recreation (PK). Staff recommends approval. [2501 SE 17th Ave; case RZN26-000004] The City of Cape Coral is requesting a city-initiated, small-scale rezoning of one parcel totaling 13.38 acres (approximately 582,988 SF) from Commercial (C) to Institutional (INST). Staff recommends approval. [2501 SE 17th Ave (for RZN26-000004); Access undetermined, south side of Tropicana Parkway west of Old Burnt Store Road (for RZN26-000003); case RZN26-000004; RZN26-000003] Two distinct rezoning proposals are detailed. The first, RZN26-000003, involves a city-initiated rezoning of approximately 2.54 acres located south of Tropicana Parkway west of Old Burnt Store Road. The request is to change the zoning from Mixed-Use Seven Islands (MX7) to Single-Family Residential (R1). This rezoning is intended to align with a proposed future land use amendment to Parks and Recreation and support the site's current development as a public park. The second proposal, RZN26-000004, is also a city-initiated rezoning for a 13.38-acre parcel at 2501 SE 17th Ave. The rezoning is from Commercial (C) to Institutional (INST) to align existing city services with zoning, allow lot combination with adjacent city-owned property, and facilitate future city services expansion. This proposal is supported by a concurrent future land use amendment to Public Facility (PF). Both proposals have received staff recommendations for approval. [2501 SE 17th AVE; case RZN26-000004] The City of Cape Coral initiated a rezoning request for a parcel located at 2501 SE 17th Ave. The project involves changing the zoning from Commercial (C) to Institutional (INST) to align with existing city services and allow for future expansion and lot combination with adjacent city-owned property. The Planning Division staff recommends approval, finding the request consistent with the Land Development Code and the City's Comprehensive Plan. No correspondence was received prior to the hearing.
