London Bay has proposed this very dense development on the sight of the old Outrigger. They backed off in the face of heavy local opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A proposed high-density redevelopment at the former Outrigger site that would significantly exceed current zoning limits and alter the character of Fort Myers Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
London Bay has proposed a large-scale redevelopment of the former Outrigger property that includes a hotel, condominium units, restaurants, and commercial space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The proposal includes buildings up to 15 stories tall and approximately 195 feet in height, far exceeding current zoning limits. It also requires multiple deviations from the Town\u2019s Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This project is not being proposed under existing zoning. It requires multiple amendments and exceptions, including changes to land use, height limits, and density allowances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Town staff have previously raised concerns about scale, compatibility with nearby neighborhoods, and compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project has faced significant public opposition and has been revised multiple times. It has been delayed and resubmitted as developers attempt to address concerns while maintaining project scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upcoming hearings and decisions by the Local Planning Agency and Town Council will determine whether these deviations are approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your voice matters. Large-scale developments like this shape the future of Fort Myers Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
