5. Direct Staff to Prepare a County-Initiated Lee Plan Amendment

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

Lee County staff are directed to prepare amendments to the Southeast Lee Community Plan Area. This plan area, adopted in 2010, is experiencing significant new development and has seen expanded road networks and utility infrastructure. The proposed amendments aim to create clearer language, reduce redundancy, and increase efficiency in planning for future development. This process will involve reviewing privately-initiated amendments, which will be paused while staff prepares new amendments. These will then go through the full Lee Plan Amendment process, including review by the Local Planning Agency and two public hearings before the Board for adoption. This early stage means opportunities for contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, grading, utility work, paving, vertical construction, and landscaping to engage as the county revises its long-term development vision for this growing area. Reaching out now allows businesses to understand the upcoming needs before specific plans and bids are finalized.
