City Council – Regular Meeting — Business Impact Estimate - Ordinance 10-26 (2026-04-15)

AI Summary

Ordinance #10-26 amends Cape Coral's Land Development Code to clarify and standardize height measurement rules for buildings and structures. The ordinance eliminates inconsistencies in how height is measured, provides clarity on structures not classified as buildings, authorizes the Development Services Director to grant height relief through an existing deviation process, and exempts structures on city-owned properties from height restrictions. No new compliance costs or mandatory fees are imposed; property owners who voluntarily request height relief pay an existing $55 application fee.
