III. BACKGROUND AND IMPLICATIONS OF ACTION

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

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is considering a county-initiated amendment to the Southeast Lee County Community Plan Area. This review will examine community needs, environmental conditions, and private property rights to ensure development standards, water quality, and environmental protection align with the County's long-term goals. Staff will look at non-residential use limits, the Environmental Enhancement and Preservation Communities Overlay tier system, and requirements across the plan area. This process will also aim to remove outdated or conflicting regulations. This item is currently under review by the county. The work will involve extensive policy review, analysis, and potential revisions to land use regulations. This early stage presents an opportunity for professional services firms, including legal counsel and engineering consultants, to engage with the county and understand the scope of potential changes before specific development plans are finalized. Early involvement can help businesses align their services with the county's evolving planning objectives.
