Rezoning Process:
A rezoning may be requested if an owner desires to use property for a use that is not currently allowed. All rezoning must be in conformity with the Lee Plan. An applicant is required to submit a completed
application with the applicable supplemental requirements and a fee pursuant to the
fee schedule.
The general process for rezoning is:
- Application submitted to Zoning Division
- Staff review and written recommendation
- Hearing Examiner public hearing
- Recommendation forwarded to Board of County Commissioners
- Decision at public hearing by Board of County Commissioners
Following a staff review of the application, which results in a written report, all rezoning are then subject to a public hearing before the Hearing Examiner. Applicants must give a brief presentation and respond to questions or cross-examination. Public participation via verbal or written comment is accepted. Procedures for the conduct of the public hearings before the Hearing Examiner are established in Administrative Code
AC-2-6.
