Zoning maps can be reviewed at 1500 Monroe Street or purchased from the Property Appraiser's Map Sales office at 2480 Thompson Street, telephone 339-6159. A rezoning may be requested if a person desires to use property for a use that is not currently allowed. All rezonings must be in conformity with the Lee County Comprehensive Plan . Following a staff review that results in a written report, all rezonings are the subject of a public hearing before the Hearing Examiner. Applicants must give a brief presentation and respond to questions or cross-examination.
All interested parties can speak on the matter or present written comments.
The Hearing Examiner issues a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners, who decide the matter at another public hearing. Lee County Department of Community Development Copyright 2000. All rights reserved.
