Overview: At the recent meeting of the Fort Myers Beach Local Planning Agency (LPA), a significant topic of discussion was the rezoning request for the property on Estero Boulevard, the site of the former 7-Eleven store.

The LPA ultimately approved the project with certain conditions, including a recommendation to consider an artistic mural on the back entrance. This decision was among several issues addressed, including proposals for live music extensions, special exceptions for alcohol sales, and discussions on accessory structure regulations following recent natural disasters.
