Every piece of property has been given a
specific zoning category. Zoning maps can be reviewed at 1500
Monroe Street or purchased from the Property Appraiser's Map
Sales office at 2480 Thompson Street.
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 and a zoning application must be
completed. To download a zoning application, please click on the

An applicant is required to submit different materials depending on which process
s(he) is going through.

Pre-application meetings are available with
staff to discuss the process in detail and to discuss any
questions you may have with your rezoning case, as long as you
provide any maps and/or documents necessary. You may fill
out a pre-application (informal meeting) application and submit
it via the internet
here.
Following a staff review that results in a
written report, all re-zonings are then subject to 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. Re-zonings are generally heard by the
Board on the first, third and fifth Monday of each month at 9:30
a.m.
The procedures governing public participation
in
the zoning process before the Hearing Examiner and the Board of
County Commissioners are set forth in the
Guide
to Public Participation.
