Hearing examiner will recommend rezoning of Cape Coral Parkway parcel to professional zoning
Summary
The hearing examiner said he will recommend approval of a rezoning request for a 10,000-square-foot parcel at 124 Cape Coral Parkway West that staff found consistent with the comprehensive plan and future land-use designation; the recommendation will be forwarded to City Council.
On Feb. 10, 2026, the hearing examiner said he will recommend that the rezoning request for a 10,000-square-foot parcel at 124 Cape Coral Parkway West proceed to City Council. The applicant, who identified himself for the record, incorporated the staff report into his presentation and had no additional testimony.
Planner Patrick Carlton White told the examiner the site carries a commercial-professional future land-use designation but is currently zoned RML, which renders the parcel effectively unbuildable under current standards; staff concluded a change to the professional (P) zoning district would align zoning with the comprehensive plan and constitute a less intense alternative than full commercial zoning. "Is consistent with the city's comp plan," White stated as part of his analysis.
White summarized that the P district would allow professional-office and service-related uses and could act as a transition between the commercial corridor and nearby residential areas. He cited site features — frontage on Cape Coral Parkway, curb and gutter sidewalks, available utilities — as supportive of the rezoning and recommended approval. There was no public comment during the hearing.
After hearing staff and the applicant, the examiner said he had no questions and announced he would recommend the rezoning "go forward as requested by the applicant and as addressed by staff" and that he would issue a written recommendation to City Council.
