The proposal to allow a food truck park on Estero Boulevard went before the LPA Tuesday . However, even with the LPA's decision, the ordinance still requires the Town Council's approval before becoming final.
According to the agenda, the request seeks to amend commercial planned development zoning to allow mobile vendors at properties located at 2500, 2510 and 2518 Estero Blvd., as well as 2543 Cottage Ave.
The food truck park would include outdoor seating, on-site consumption of food and beverages, and a commercial parking lot.
The proposal has drawn opposition from nearby property owners, including the Pelican Watch Condominium Association and several other nearby residents, all of whom have filed for intervenor status.
In a letter to the town, their attorney argued that the project would negatively impact neighboring residential properties by increasing traffic, noise and light pollution, reducing property values, and disrupting quality of life.
The LPA first reviewed the proposal on Jan. 9 but was unable to reach a decision after a tied 3-3 vote.
