A planned unit development amendment is under review for the Garden Street Iron and Metal property at 3250 -3460 Old Metro Parkway. This project involves an amendment to the existing Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning. The developer is proposing to construct industrial buildings with an estimated daily water flow demand of 29,685 gallons. The City of Fort Myers has indicated that potable water and sanitary sewer lines are adjacent to the property, but developer-funded system enhancements, such as line extensions, may be required to provide service. The project is currently under review by the Planning Board. This development would likely involve site clearing, grading, underground utility work for water and sewer extensions, and the construction of industrial buildings, followed by final landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, utility work, and general construction could find opportunities by engaging early, before final site plans and permits are issued.

4. Comprehensive Plan Compliance
The City of Fort Myers Planning Board is reviewing a proposal to designate new areas for future industrial use on the Future Land Use Map and create new regulations for these zones. This policy aims to strengthen the city's economic base by encouraging job creation, investment, and production opportunities. The proposed industrial areas would require specific transportation access, industrial levels of utilities, and be centrally located. Permitted uses include research and development, laboratories, industrial activities, and supporting commercial and office uses, with residential uses strictly prohibited. Expansion into heavy industrial uses within light industrial zones would require a Planned Unit Development process. This item is currently under review by the Planning Board. The project would involve planning and regulatory development, potentially leading to future site plan approvals, construction, and infrastructure development for new industrial facilities. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas like engineering, site preparation, construction, and material supply should monitor this review process. Early engagement before specific site plans and permits are finalized could offer a competitive advantage.

4. Comprehensive Plan Compliance
The City of Fort Myers Planning Board is reviewing a proposal to designate specific areas for future industrial use and establish related land development regulations. This initiative aims to strengthen the city's economic base by identifying locations suitable for expanded job opportunities, investments, and production. The proposed industrial areas would support research and development, laboratories, industrial activities, and related commercial and office uses, with a maximum floor area ratio of one. Residential uses are not permitted in these designated zones. This item is currently under review by the Planning Board. If approved, this could lead to future site plan and use approvals for new industrial developments, potentially through the Planned Unit Development process, especially for projects incorporating LEED standards. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor this review, as future industrial development could involve site clearing, grading, utility work, building construction, and specialized trades. Early engagement with the city and potential developers could provide an advantage as plans and permits are established.

The City of Fort Myers Planning Board is considering a rezoning request for a property located at 1750 Ortiz Avenue. The applicant seeks to change the zoning from an expired Planned Unit Development (PUD) to Light Industrial (IL) for approximately 19.79 acres. This item is currently under review by the Planning Board. If approved, this rezoning could lead to future development, potentially involving site preparation, grading, utility work, and the construction of industrial facilities. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in construction, engineering, and material supply may find opportunities as plans develop. Engaging early could provide an advantage before formal bids and permits are issued.

4. Plant spacing to be consistent to achieve sight proof buffering as
This item concerns a planned landscape buffer along the Fort Myers Drainage District right-of-way on Southern Garden Street. The plan calls for plant spacing to create a sight-proof buffer, using details from a March 5, 2007 landscape plan by Barbot, Steuart and Associates, Inc. Existing mature scrub palms and oaks on the western half of the right-of-way will be incorporated into the design. This project is listed as completed, indicating that related work may have already occurred or is in its final stages. The scope of work would involve site clearing and grading for new plantings, installation of specified plants, and potentially the preservation or removal of existing vegetation. Landscaping contractors, nursery suppliers, and site preparation services could be involved in this project. Early engagement with project managers or city planning staff could provide insights into any remaining or future phases.
