- COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING; THE LEE PLAN

Sec. 34-491. - The Lee Plan.

(a)

The Lee Plan is the document adopted by the Lee County Board of County Commissioners in accordance with F.S. Ch. 163 to guide and regulate all land development activities within Lee County. All development orders (including rezonings), as defined in F.S. § 163.3164(15), shall be consistent with the goals, objectives, polices and standards in the Lee Plan. Where there are apparent conflicts between the Lee Plan and any regulations in the Chapter, the Lee Plan will prevail.

(b)

The Lee Plan contains a future land use map which divides the County into future urban, future suburban, and future non-urban areas. All development must be consistent with the future land use map, the definitions of the land use categories in the text of the plan, and the remainder of the text of the Lee Plan.

(c)

This chapter includes a list of zoning districts. Some of these zoning districts permit uses, densities, or intensities that are not permitted in particular future land use map categories. Property may not be rezoned to a district that is inconsistent with the applicable future land use map category or with the remainder of the text of the Lee Plan.
