Council adopts rezoning to preserve existing duplexes at Williams Road and Sun Aqua Lane
Summary
The City Council on second reading approved rezoning about 1.04 acres of pre‑existing duplex properties from Two‑Family Conservation (TFC‑2) to Residential Planned Development (RPD), removing multiple nonconforming issues and preserving the existing structures with no new development proposed.
Bonita Springs City Council voted unanimously on the second reading to rezone about 1.04 acres of property that includes duplexes at 27036/27020 Williams Road and 27001 Sun Aqua Lane from Two‑Family Conservation (TFC‑2) to Residential Planned Development (RPD).
City planning staff told council the change is intended to remove numerous nonconforming issues for 10 duplex units built between 1969 and 1976 and to provide a single set of development regulations for the parcels. Mike Fegan of Community Development said there is no new construction proposed and that the RPD would preserve the existing duplex structures; the zoning board had unanimously recommended approval at its January hearing.
Council took public testimony under a quasi‑judicial hearing format and confirmed witnesses were sworn. There were no public comments opposing the item at the meeting. A motion to approve carried on roll call.
The ordinance text as read to the council listed the three addresses and described the rezoning from TFC‑2 to RPD, providing conditions for any potential future development to ensure compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood.
The council did not identify a specific effective date in the discussion recorded during the meeting; the ordinance text read at second reading refers generically to an effective date.
