The objective of the District is to create a mixed-use form of development that allows residential uses and non-residential uses in appropriate locations.

- Residential Development: Potential for both single-family and multi-family residential development, providing a variety of housing options.

Florida Property for Sale - Land Use Breakdown
For residential development, both single-family and multi-family dwellings are allowed, along with docking facilities, covered docks, and boathouses to fully embrace the riverside lifestyle. Non-residential options include retail establishments, service commercial ventures, governmental and support services, hotels/motels, office facilities, medical facilities, public or private marinas, and a host of recreational and commercial uses.
There are also guidelines in place that would encourage the development of a community or destination that would provide a diverse and well rounded balance of retail, commercial and greenspace.
To maintain a cohesive development, commercial establishments are encouraged to avoid a strip commercial approach and instead cluster in appropriate locations.
The district also encourages water-related development, such as marinas, canoe and kayak launches, docking facilities, and accessory uses like ships’ stores.
Recreation is also a priority, with amenities like tennis courts and other facilities allowed to enhance the overall appeal of the development.
Residential densities are set at a base density of six units per gross acre, with the potential for an additional unit per gross acre by providing a Greenway/Bluebelt along the Caloosahatchee River.
The district also emphasizes the importance of open space, requiring residential development to set aside 25% of the land as open space and non-residential development to allocate 15% for the same purpose.
Additionally, the zoning guidelines promote environmental preservation. Residential lot lines and parcel boundaries must maintain a minimum setback of 50 feet from the Mean High Water Level (MHWL) of the river, safeguarding water quality.
Low impact development techniques and enhanced Best Management Practices for surface water management are strongly encouraged, ensuring sustainable and environmentally friendly development practices.
