Council approves Old 41 commercial‑industrial plan after applicant commits to buffer and design changes
Summary
Bonita Springs council approved a commercial planned development for a 10‑acre site on Old 41 that will allow mixed commercial, light industrial and vehicle/self-storage uses with enhanced landscaping and gated storage facing neighboring residences.
The Bonita Springs City Council approved a second‑reading commercial planned development (CPD) allowing up to six buildings on roughly 10 acres at 25211 Old 41 Road. The approved uses include up to 39,500 square feet of commercial uses, up to 80,000 square feet of self‑storage/mini‑warehouse, and up to 70,000 square feet of light industrial space.
City staff recommended approval and the applicant presented design changes requested during the first reading, including an enhanced landscape buffer, a decorative fence and a security gate near residential property lines and a low‑activity treatment of the self‑storage portion closest to Bonita Isles. The applicant said Buildings 5 and 6 front Old 41 with commercial uses, Buildings 1 and 2 provide light industrial uses along the north boundary, and Buildings 3 and 4 are high‑end vehicle storage condos placed closest to residential neighbors to reduce intensity.
The applicant provided two resident letters showing support received since the first reading and said it had conducted early outreach, including a voluntary neighborhood meeting in July 2024. Staff told council the applicant agreed to the conditions in the staff memorandum and that staff recommended approval.
No members of the public registered to speak during the meeting on this item. A motion to approve passed on a roll‑call vote; council members present voted in favor and the motion carried.
