[1015 Cultural Park Boulevard, Cape Coral, FL 33990 (Council Chambers for meeting)] The Committee of the Whole agenda for July 29, 2026, includes a discussion item regarding the Bimini East Redevelopment. This is an informational item only, with no action requested at this meeting. The project is proposed by Crown Development Inc., as the managing member of Bimini Basin Redevelopment Company LLC. The plan aims to redevelop the Bimini East area into a vibrant destination with mixed-use buildings (3-5 stories), including up to 900 dwelling units, 250 hotel rooms, 130,000 sq ft of retail/dining space, 55,000 sq ft of office space, up to 210,000 sq ft of medical space, a 60-slip marina, and four parking garages. The estimated investment is $500,000,000. Key milestones are outlined for 2026-2028, with project completion estimated by 2035. The developer highlights extensive experience in mixed-use, multifamily, hotel, and infrastructure projects, with significant past development in Cape Coral totaling over $250,000,000. Public comment from Bimini View Condominium Association and Sunset Towers Condominium Association expressed positive experiences with Crown Development on the Bimini Square project, noting their professionalism, transparency, and community engagement, and satisfaction with the project's outcome. [Approximate 34-acre site; case RCR25176KMR] The Bimini East project is a proposed master-planned community in Cape Coral, Florida, aiming to redevelop approximately 34 acres into a mixed-use waterfront district. The project includes approximately 900 housing units (apartments and rowhouses), two hotels with about 250 rooms, 250,000 sq ft of medical office space, 60,000 sq ft of general office space, 130,000 sq ft of retail (including food, beverage, and entertainment), two branch banks, over 3,000 parking stalls, classrooms for higher education, a 45-slip marina, a reshaped Four Freedoms Park with a waterfront amphitheater, and various open spaces. The estimated total project investment is $500 million. The developer is Bimini Basin Redevelopment Company, LLC, with lead developer Crown Development Inc. The project is planned to be zoned through a PUD (Planned Unit Development). Key dates include a projected start for horizontal improvements in November 2026 and completion of vertical construction by August 2035. The project aims to create a walkable destination with Bahamian-themed architecture, a central canal avenue, tropical landscaping, and consistent lighting. Community benefits include replacing blighted areas, establishing a fresh image for downtown, expanding housing and medical services, and creating a community gathering area. The project is aligned with CRA redevelopment objectives for revitalization and mixed-use development. The City of Cape Coral is undertaking an Areawide Neighborhood Roadway Speed Limit Study to improve neighborhood safety and multimodal mobility. The study, completed by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., evaluated 40 local residential streets and found that they meet FDOT criteria for a reduced speed limit of 25 mph. The City Council is considering three implementation options for sign replacement, with costs ranging from $49,038 to $57,719. A Phase II study for major and cut-through roadways is also proposed. Public feedback was gathered through a workshop and online poll, with residents generally favoring lower speeds and spot treatments. This document outlines the City of Cape Coral's strategy for unlicensed contractor enforcement, following the preemption of local contractor licensing by Florida House Bill 735 in 2023. The city's local licensing program was sunsetted, and enforcement responsibilities largely shifted to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Cape Coral now focuses on verifying state licenses during permit applications and referring unpermitted code violations to DBPR. The city also conducts public education on licensing risks. The document discusses the potential reactivation of a Licensing Investigator classification, detailing salary ranges, associated costs for equipment and personnel, and potential funding mechanisms like a surcharge on building permits. In Fiscal Year 2025, the City of Cape Coral issued 30,057 building permits.

[1015 Cultural Park Boulevard, Cape Coral, FL 33990] The Committee of the Whole agenda for July 29, 2026, includes a discussion item regarding the Bimini East Redevelopment. Crown Development Inc., through its managing member Bimini Basin Redevelopment Company LLC, has submitted a proposal for this redevelopment. The project aims to transform the area into a destination with mixed-use buildings, lodging, retail, office, medical office space, a marina, and community gathering areas. The plan includes up to 900 dwelling units, 250 hotel rooms, 130,000 sq ft of commercial space, and 55,000 sq ft of office space. An estimated investment of $500,000,000 is anticipated. The redevelopment is intended to be a catalyst for economic growth and revitalization of downtown Cape Coral. The agenda item is for informational purposes only. Future meetings are scheduled for August 4, 2026 (Budget Workshop) and August 5, 2026 (Regular City Council Meeting). [STRAP Nos. 13-45-23-C2-01081.0300, 13-45-23-C2-00083.0180, 13-45-23-C2-00083.0150, 13-45-23-C2-00083.0100, 13-45-23-C2-00083.0330, 13-45-23-C2-00000.30B0, 13-45-23-C2-00000.30B1, and 13-45-23-C2-00102.0010; case RFP No. RCR25176KMR] The Bimini East project is a proposed master-planned community in Cape Coral, Florida, aiming to redevelop approximately 34 acres into a mixed-use waterfront district. The project, led by Bimini Basin Redevelopment Company, LLC (a partnership including Crown Development Inc., Alessio Companies, and Superhost Hospitality), involves an estimated total capital investment of $500,000,000. The plan includes approximately 900 housing units (apartments and rowhouses), two hotels with about 250 rooms, 250,000 square feet of medical office space, 60,000 square feet of general office space, 130,000 square feet of retail space, two branch banks, over 3,000 parking stalls, classrooms for higher education, a marina with 65 slips, a reshaped Four Freedoms Park with an amphitheater, and various open spaces. The project seeks zoning through a PUD and will be managed by a Master Association. Key design characteristics include Bahamian-themed architecture, a central canal avenue, tropical landscaping, and consistent lighting. The project aims to create a world-class destination emphasizing Cape Coral's water heritage and tropical coastal aesthetic, serving as a walkable 'park-once' environment and a hub for residents and visitors. The development timeline anticipates horizontal improvements beginning in November 2026 and vertical improvements starting in August 2027, with completion by August 2035. The City of Cape Coral is involved in land acquisition, infrastructure improvements, and providing incentives, including Tax Increment Financing (TIF) rebates and impact fee credits. The City has acquired 47 parcels for the project, investing $45.2 million in property acquisition and demolition, and will convey 22 acres to the developer. The developer will pay the City a purchase price of $26,292,325 for the land, with payments phased before construction permits are issued for each block. The project is expected to generate significant economic impact, including 3,401 total jobs supported during construction and operations. The City of Cape Coral is considering a citywide reduction of local residential roadway speed limits from 30 mph to 25 mph. This initiative stems from the Areawide Neighborhood Speed Limit Study, which evaluated local residential roadways to improve neighborhood safety and multimodal mobility. The study, conducted by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., found that 38 out of 40 evaluated streets meet FDOT criteria for a 25 mph speed limit. The City Council will decide on accepting the study's findings, selecting an implementation option (sign plate replacement, neighborhood gateway signs, or city gateway signs), and potentially approving a public outreach campaign. A Phase II study for major and cut-through roadways is also proposed. Public feedback was gathered through a workshop and online poll, with comments generally favoring lower speeds on local streets and spot treatments for cut-through roadways. The Police Department supports the speed limit reduction for enhanced neighborhood safety. This document outlines traffic calming measures and discusses unlicensed contractor enforcement. For traffic calming, it details speed tables, speed cushions, chicanes, raised intersections, mid-block bulb-outs, and center island narrowing, noting their effectiveness in reducing speeds and enhancing safety. For contractor enforcement, it explains that local contractor licensing was preempted by Florida House Bill 735 in 2023, leading to the sunsetting of Cape Coral's local licensing program and elimination of local Licensing Investigator positions. Primary enforcement is now with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). The City refers unpermitted code violations to DBPR and educates residents on licensing risks. The document also discusses the potential reactivation of a Licensing Investigator classification, detailing associated salary, equipment, and total year one costs, and notes that a $5 unlicensed contractor surcharge in FY2025 could have funded one investigator.

This document details a Special Budget Workshop for the Cape Coral City Council held on July 15, 2026. The primary focus was the FY2027 budget, including discussions on millage rates, fire service assessments (FSA), public service tax (PST), and expenditure reductions. Key decisions included setting a not-to-exceed millage rate of 5.1988 and working towards a FY2027 budget at 5.147, while keeping FSA and PST the same. The council also discussed potential uses of reserve funds and the impact of upcoming tax referendums. Public comments from Charles Crain and Thomas Shadrach touched on budget expenditures, UEP project, millage rates, and policy changes. Councilmember Lastra inquired about using interest income for one-time purchases like a dump truck during Hurricane Ian, with the Financial Services Director explaining the unpredictability of interest income and its use for non-recurring expenditures. Council members debated various budget scenarios, including potential cuts, hiring freezes, and revenue enhancements through millage rate adjustments, FSA, and PST. The council reached a consensus to maintain the current millage rate of 5.147 for the FY2027 budget, with a higher not-to-exceed rate of 5.1988 set for July 22nd. Discussions also covered the methodology for budget reductions, prioritizing public safety, infrastructure, and quality of life services.
