4. Regulatory Compliance and Design Criteria
This item concerns regulatory compliance and design criteria for a drainage system. The project will need to meet specific standards, including post-development runoff rates and volumes not exceeding pre-development conditions for a 25-year, 3-day storm event. Additionally, new street elevations must be at or above the flood level from a 5-year, 1-day storm, and open channels must be designed to prevent overtopping during a 25-year, 3-day storm. This project is currently under review by the Planning Board, City of Fort Myers, Lee. The work will involve detailed engineering design and potentially site clearing, grading, underground utility installation, and construction of drainage infrastructure. Contractors specializing in civil engineering, site preparation, grading, and utility work, as well as suppliers of drainage materials, could find opportunities. Engaging early before final plans and permits are issued may provide a competitive advantage.

5. Bridge approaches shall align with internal sidewalks and pedestrian circulation routes. Final
A conceptual plan for a pedestrian bridge is under review for the Billy Creek Apartments located at 1455 Lockwood Drive in Fort Myers. This project proposes the construction of a pedestrian bridge, with final design, materials, and construction details to be submitted for site development permit applications. The bridge approaches will connect with internal sidewalks and pedestrian circulation routes.

7. Comprehensive Plan Compliance
The City of Fort Myers Planning Board is reviewing a proposal to change the future land use designation for an area to Residential Medium Density (RMD). This designation allows for medium to high-density multifamily developments and neighborhood-scale commercial uses. The maximum base density would be sixteen dwelling units per acre, with a potential bonus density of twenty dwelling units per acre for projects meeting specific criteria like LEED standards or pedestrian connectivity. The proposal is currently under review by the Planning Board. This review could lead to future development projects involving site preparation, utility work, construction of multifamily housing, and neighborhood commercial spaces. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as general contracting, site preparation, concrete, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, painting, flooring, and landscaping may find opportunities. Engaging early in the process, before final site plans and permits are established, offers the best chance to compete for work.

Planning Board - August 5, 2026
[1455 Lockwood Drive, Fort Myers, FL 33916; case PUD25-0039] The document is a Planning Board agenda and staff report for a public hearing on August 5, 2026, for a request for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow a 96-unit multi-family development at 1455 Lockwood Drive. The property is 8.12 +/- acres, currently zoned Residential Single-Family (RS-7), with a proposed zoning of Planned Unit Development (PUD). The applicant/owner is Premiere Development Solutions, agent Luis Jurado. Case number is PUD25-0039. The staff recommended action is to recommend approval to the City Council with terms and conditions. The companion future land use amendment was recommended for denial by the Planning Board on July 1, 2026, due to concerns about traffic and drainage. The document also includes a separate item for a continued public hearing on Comprehensive Plan amendments, but no specific project details are provided for that item. The document also includes minutes from a June 3, 2026 meeting, which describe a different project (rezoning 19.79 acres at 1750 Ortiz Avenue from PUD to Light Industrial), but no decision is stated in the provided text for that item. This document is a Planning Board public hearing agenda item for proposed amendments to the City of Fort Myers Comprehensive Plan, covering Elements 1 through 6. It is a policy update, not a specific development project. The amendments include removing outdated language, updating housing projections to 27,000 new units by 2050, incorporating multimodal transportation strategies, adding a potential Mobility Fee program, updating municipal service capacity levels, and incorporating the 2024 Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The staff recommendation is to find the amendments consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code and recommend City Council approval. The document does not describe a specific project, site, or action beyond these procedural and administrative amendments.

c) Economic feasibility of relocating the industries.
The City of Fort Myers Planning Board is reviewing proposed changes to land use designations around Page Field General Aviation Airport. This review includes creating an Airport (A/P) district to allow for a mix of commercial, office, and industrial uses, with development intensities limited to a floor area ratio of one. The plan also addresses Recreation (REC) and Conservation Lands (CON) designations, outlining specific standards for development and density transfers. Site-specific development details will be reviewed later during the Site Development Plan process. This review is in the early stages, meaning opportunities for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage are now. The project scope could involve site preparation, grading, utility work, construction of commercial and industrial buildings, and related infrastructure, followed by landscaping. Businesses specializing in site work, general contracting, civil engineering, material supply, and trades like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC may find opportunities by connecting early before final plans and bids are set.

c. All other network streets.
The City of Fort Myers is reviewing plans to improve pedestrian mobility and safety. This includes developing a program for intersection improvements to help pedestrians and implementing a requirement for sidewalks on all new streets. The city also plans to maintain existing sidewalks adjacent to property lines in good condition before issuing occupancy permits for new or remodeled buildings. Additionally, there is a focus on creating an environment that encourages walking and biking, which may involve planting street trees. These initiatives are part of a broader effort to enhance the city's transportation network and promote active transportation. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor these developments as they could lead to opportunities in site preparation, grading, concrete work, paving, utility installation, and landscaping. Engaging early with city planning departments can provide insight into upcoming projects before formal bidding processes begin.

c. Not more than 30% of the lots are developed in other than single-family uses.
This item concerns proposed changes to the City of Fort Myers' Future Land Use Map and Land Development Regulations. The changes focus on how different areas, such as Residential Low Density, Residential Medium Density, Downtown, Midtown, and Industrial zones, can be developed. Specific policies address densities, permitted uses, and design standards for these areas. For example, Residential Low Density areas may allow limited neighborhood commercial uses, while Residential Medium Density areas could see higher dwelling unit counts. The Downtown and Midtown areas are slated for more intensive mixed-use development, with bonus densities possible for projects meeting certain criteria like LEED standards or pedestrian connectivity. These proposed changes are currently under review by the Planning Board. If approved, these changes could lead to new construction, including site clearing, grading, utility work, paving, building construction, and landscaping, across various zones. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor these developments as they could present future opportunities for work. Engaging early before final plans and permits are issued may offer a competitive advantage.

The City of Fort Myers is reviewing its Comprehensive Plan, which guides future development and land use. This review includes policies and actions related to transportation, school site selection, and coordination with regional planning efforts. The plan encourages infill development, compatible land uses, and the use of public transportation. It also addresses coordination with the Florida Department of Transportation and Lee County for traffic analysis and road network improvements. The review process is early, indicating potential future development opportunities. This comprehensive planning effort could lead to projects involving site preparation, grading, utility work, road construction, and potentially new school or public facility construction. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage with the city's planning department to understand upcoming needs as these policies are implemented and development plans are formalized.
