COURT DENIES CERT PETITION TO QUASH REZONING OF SOUTH SEAS; LAWYERS REVIEWING DECISION FOR APPEAL
COUNTY COMMISSIONER PETROSKY SEEKS TO ASSIST SOUTH SEAS EFFORTS TO INCORPORATE RAUSCHENBERG PROPERTY INTO THE RESORT
JUDGE SIGNS ORDER GRANTING CCA’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AGAINST SOUTH SEAS IN DECEPTIVE PRACTICES CASE WHILE APPEAL IN INITIAL CASE STILL PENDING
South Seas Island Resort and Timbers Resorts have confirmed our worst fears – it has always been about more hotel rooms and condos. It’s always been about density.
South Seas Island Resort’s true intentions were made clear just days after Lee County commissioners approved the sweeping changes to the Lee Plan and Land Development Code. The resort’s rezoning application seeks more than 700 hotel rooms and condos, a significant increase from the current 247 units – especially when this was supposedly never about density. The resort also plans to build up to 64 feet, towering over all other buildings on Captiva.
Exactly what we warned would happen has unfortunately begun to take shape. It’s more important now than ever that we use all available resources to protect our special barrier island.
The Protect Captiva Coalition was established in June 2023 by concerned citizens and organizations in opposition to increasing building height and density and opening the door for hundreds of new hotel rooms on Captiva Island. Our coalition includes more than 13,000 residents, organizations, and other individuals who are opposed to this shortsighted plan that will forever change the character and safety of Captiva.
