Representatives from the West Bay Club are proposing to develop a Dog Park/Amenity Area in five phases. The amenities include a Dog Park, 4 Pickleball Courts, Bocce Ball Court, restroom facility, infrastructure and parking.

Estero Grande is proposing to build 198 apartment units west of the intersection US 41 and Estero Parkway. The residential portion of the property is known as Estero Grande Parkside. The commercial property, which is 100,000 sq. ft., is known as Estero Grande.
The applicant is requesting a deviation from the Land Development Code to reduce the parking spaces from 2 parking spaces per unit to 1.75.
