What can I build on this property?

It depends on the zoning district shown on the city's official zoning map, cross-checked against the Table 4.1.6 use table in the Land Development Code (LDC). Cape Coral is a heavily platted single-family city, and the great majority of residential lots are zoned R-1 (Single-Family Residential), where single-family detached homes are permitted by right and few other residential building types are allowed. Other residential districts (RML, RMM, RE, A) and non-residential districts (C, P, I, INST, PV, CC, NC, MXB, MX7, SC, PUD) each have their own use table columns; a use marked P is permitted by right, P* is permitted with specific standards in Article 5, CU is a conditional use requiring case-by-case review, and SE is a special exception decided by the Hearing Examiner. This pack has cell-verified the rows most commonly asked about (single-family, duplex, multi-family, home-based business); other use types are review-gated pending full table verification. Confirm the parcel's exact zoning district and Future Land Use classification with the City Planning Division before acting. This pack covers city limits only; unincorporated Lee County land uses county zoning.
