Land Development Code Update

Description

The City of Fort Myers, Florida (City) invites qualified multidisciplinary consulting firms or teams to submit proposals to comprehensively rewrite the City's Land Development Code (LDC). The resulting LDC must implement the City's recently updated Comprehensive Plan, reflect contemporary planning and development practices, comply with applicable law, improve predictability and ease of administration, and respond to the City's increasingly important need to facilitate context-sensitive redevelopment of existing developed sites.The City seeks more than a technical reorganization or limited amendment of its existing regulations. The selected consultant will lead a policy-informed, legally sound, and implementation-oriented rewrite that produces a clear and usable code tailored to Fort Myers. Redevelopment feasibility shall be a central organizing principle throughout the project.
