A property located west of Copeland Avenue and bisected by E.C. Airport Road in Everglades City is under review for potential development. This site spans approximately 52.26 acres, with 19.60 acres of net developable uplands, and includes waterfront access along the Barron River, Tarpon Creek, and Chokoloskee Bay. The property is currently vacant uplands and wetlands zoned Residential Tourist (RT). The RT zoning allows for a mix of residential, hospitality, and commercial uses, including transient lodging, multi-family dwellings, marinas, and restaurants. This item is currently under review, indicating an early stage in the development process. If approved, the project could involve site clearing and grading, extensive underground utility work, stormwater management systems, road and driveway construction, vertical framing for residential or hospitality structures, and final landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's scope and potential needs before final plans and permits are established.
