To make a request to hold a Public Information Session during a GPICA monthly meeting, please fill out this form at least three weeks in advance of your request. Please note that filling out the form does not guarantee confirmation. We will confirm in a separate email to you.
All developers of multifamily residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and infrastructure projects and subdivisions are required to hold Public Information Sessions in Lee County’s unincorporated areas — including Pine Island — to inform residents of their plans and especially any variances they are seeking. Those requesting zoning variances may also be required to hold similar sessions. These meetings must be advertised in advance in local media.
On Pine Island, the GPICA has historically been the designated forum for these public meetings. Typically, we schedule Public Information Sessions with property owners and/or their representatives as the need arises. Our meetings are open to all members of the community — regardless of GPICA membership.
During these Public Information Sessions, we allow property owners or their representatives to present their case, residents have an opportunity to ask questions and then we call for a voice vote on whether the attendees support or oppose a particular request.
Following the meeting, we send a letter to Lee County staff reviewing the case with a summary of the meeting, the questions asked and the result of the non-binding votes made by those in attendance at the meeting.
