TR Transportation Consultants, Inc. has completed a traffic impact analysis for a proposed rezoning at 1750 Ortiz Avenue in Fort Myers. The applicant seeks to change the zoning from Commercial Intensive (CI) to Light Industrial (IL) for approximately 19.79 acres. This change would allow for about 277,060 square feet of industrial use. Access is expected from both Ortiz Avenue and Laredo Avenue, though final details are not yet determined. This item is currently under review by the Planning Board, City of Fort Myers, Lee. The project's next steps will involve site planning, access determination, and potentially infrastructure improvements related to traffic flow. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out early to understand the project's scope as it moves through the review process, as this could lead to opportunities in site preparation, utility work, paving, and construction once plans are finalized and permits are issued.
