Safe Harbor Marinas representative says community input shaped Port Phoenix Waterway Marina rezoning; commissioners approve
Summary
Lee County approved a rezoning for the Port Phoenix Waterway Marina (7.27 acres) after the applicant said it changed the design in response to three community meetings; staff and the hearing examiner recommended approval and commissioners voted to pass the hearing examiner's recommendation.
The Board of County Commissioners approved a rezoning for the Port Phoenix Waterway Marina project at the end of Inlet Drive, clearing a request to reconfigure 7.27 acres to a commercial planned development.
Planner Nick DeFilippo summarized the hearing examiner's recommendation for approval with conditions and noted four participants of record. Matthew Smith, representing Safe Harbor Marinas, told the board the applicant conducted three community meetings, gathered feedback and revised the design to respond to local concerns.
Staff called several participants of record by name (Constance Belsky, Guy Adamsky, Joanne McCormick, Robert McCormick) though the transcript does not show speakers from those four giving oral remarks. A commissioner moved and seconded approval of the hearing examiner recommendation; with no objections recorded, the board approved the rezoning and adjourned.
Next steps: The approval allows the applicant to proceed to development‑order submittals and condition compliance reviews as required by the hearing examiner and staff.
