The Captiva Plan

The Captiva portion of the Lee Plan -- the Lee County Comprehensive Land Use plan -- was first adopted in 2003 and amended in 2005 and 2007. It regulates land use and zoning on the island by addressing issues specific to Captiva, and is the basis for the county (and Captiva) Land Development Code currently under review.

The current version of the Captiva Plan (which is Goal 13 of the Lee Plan) is available by clicking here (opens in a new window).
This version includes the new building height language approved
by the Lee County Commission in September 2011.
