| PDP26-000002 TO BE HEARD By: City Council ON: August 5, 2026 4:00 P.M. AT: City of Cape Coral, Council Chambers, 1015 Cultural Park Blvd. |
Two property owners with lots in Village “C” of the Tarpon Point development have filed a PDP amendment application with the City. Both owners request the City eliminate a provision appearing in Ordinance 14-01, that approved the Tarpon Point project, that requires lots in Village “C” to have a minimum lot width at the building line of 100 feet. This amendment is limited to Lots 5 and 8. Compared to other lots in Village “C”, the two subject lots are irregular and are narrower at the front of these two sites. The latter two factors result in the future building footprint of the two homes being located farther behind the minimum 10-foot front setback compared to most other sites. The minimum lot width requirement is exacerbated by the private restrictions codified in the Design Review Guidelines for Tarpon Estates that exceed City requirements. These requirements for new single-family homes in Village “C” include establishing minimum living areas, implementing garage design standards, and requiring each house to have a swimming pool. An earlier amendment to Tarpon Point, Ordinance 131-02, eliminated the minimum width lot requirement for Lots 6-7, 16-17, 30-33, 37-39, and 45-46 in Village “C”, but did not provide a similar exemption for Lots 5 and 8. As this request is limited to two residential lots, this amendment will not have an adverse effect on other properties in the Tarpon Point development and may benefit the community by facilitating infill development on two of the remaining undeveloped residential sites in Village “C”. Both Planning staff and the Hearing Examiner recommend approval. |
