7. North of Southern Garden Street, no junkyard uses are allowed other than Self

Planning Board · 2026-06-03 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns a proposed change to land use regulations north of Southern Garden Street. The proposal defines and permits 'Self Service Auto Parts Yard' uses, which involve customers accessing a yard to remove parts from inoperable vehicles. These vehicles are described as 'Processed Assemblies' from a junkyard south of Southern Garden Street. Accessory uses like purchasing vehicles for parts, preparing them, and removing high-value components (coring) are also outlined. This item is currently under review by the Planning Board, City of Fort Myers. If approved, this could lead to site preparation, fencing, and potentially office or storage structures for such a business. Contractors specializing in site work, demolition, waste management, and potentially construction of small facilities could be involved. Early engagement with the applicant or city planning department may provide insight into specific site needs and timelines.
