[435 SE 10th Terrace, 932 SE 5th Place, and 1004 SE 5th Place; case FLUM26-000001] The Cape Coral Planning and Zoning Commission is considering a Future Land Use Map Amendment (FLUMA) for property located at 435 SE 10th Terrace, 932 SE 5th Place, and 1004 SE 5th Place. The applicant, Cape Baptist Church, Inc., seeks to change the land use from Single Family (SF) to Public Facilities (PF) for 4.52 acres. This amendment is intended to allow for the expansion and redevelopment of a new religious facility, including the installation of a communication tower. City Planning Staff has recommended approval. The property currently has a church and associated improvements. Environmental surveys documented four active burrowing owls and seven potentially occupied burrows on the site. The proposed change is expected to reduce potential residential density and associated demands on schools and parks, while slightly increasing traffic trips. The site is within the Urban Services Transition area and has utilities available. Soils are described as Wabasso sand with limestone substrate and Cypress Lake fine sand-Urban land complex, which are somewhat poorly drained but manageable with engineering solutions. The amendment is considered consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is not in conflict with regional plans.

The property is currently developed with City services (Everest facility) and is intended to align with existing uses and allow for future expansion. A concurrent zoning change to INST is also proposed. The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is recommended for approval. No public correspondence was received. [Tropicana Parkway, West of Old Burnt Store Road; case FLUM26-000003] A City-initiated large-scale amendment to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) from Mixed-Use (MX) to Parks and Recreation (PK) for Tropicana Park, comprising 2.54 acres. The site is currently developed with park facilities (playground and four pavilions) and has been owned by the City since 1983. The amendment aims to legalize existing parkland uses. The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is recommended for approval. No public correspondence was received.

The site is developed as a public park and was historically platted as such. The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code, supporting recreational uses. The proposed change results in a net decrease of 12,128 sq. ft. of non-residential space and a net decrease of 10 dwelling units, with a proposed 10,000 sq. ft. of building area for park uses. Utilities are extended to the site. Environmental surveys will be required for future land alteration. The Planning Division recommends approval.
