Lee County approves rezoning for 1.3‑acre Modern Services site despite neighbor drainage concerns
Summary
Commissioners rezoned 1.3 acres on Palm Beach Boulevard from AG‑2 to CPD to allow a 16,000‑square‑foot business services facility; a neighboring auto‑repair owner warned existing drainage and fill placed for an FPL easement are causing standing water, while the applicant’s engineer said on‑site stormwater controls will reduce discharge rates.
LEE COUNTY, Fla. — The Lee County Board of County Commissioners on May 7 approved rezoning for a 1.3‑acre parcel at 11550 and 11570 Palm Beach Boulevard to allow a 16,000‑square‑foot business services development, after staff and the hearing examiner recommended approval and neighbors raised concerns about drainage.
Mary Sue Grama, senior planner with Lee County Zoning, presented the application (DCI2024‑16) and said the request would rezone the properties from AG‑2 (agriculture) to CPD (community planned development) to permit business services, accessory warehousing and a maximum building height of 35 feet. The parcels are in the suburban future land‑use category and the Caloosahatchee Shores Community Plan area. Grama said the hearing examiner recommended approval with conditions and that two members of the public attended the hearing.
