The City requests to vacate the following: Atlantic Court right-of-way between Lots 1-29 in Block 81, Unit 6, Part 1, and Lots 25-50 in Block 82, Unit 5; Manor Court right-of-way and all underlying easements between Lots 12-24 in Block 82, Unit 5, and Lots 20-32 in Block 83, Unit 5; and Triton Court East right-of-way between Lots 1-9 in Block 83, Unit 5, and Lots 26-32 in Block 84, Unit 5. The City also requests to vacate selected interior platted easements in Block 81, Unit 6, Part 1, and in Blocks 82-84, Unit 5, all in Cape Coral Subdivision. These vacations will allow four parcels with Mixed-Use Bimini zoning owned by the City, which collectively comprise 20.1 acres, to be combined into a single, consolidated site. These four properties represent the majority of the Bimini Basin East project area that is located in the heart of the CRA. These vacations will eliminate parts of three City streets along with selected easements that no longer serve a foreseeable public purpose and will prepare the project area for future redevelopment. The proposed vacations are consistent with the five standards appearing in LDC, Section 3.4.5. for evaluating vacation requests and are consistent with those applicable policies appearing in the Comprehensive Plan, and the 2024 South Cape Downtown Community Redevelopment Plan. Staff recommend approval of all vacation requests with conditions. |
