DRC denies extension request for 1323 Acuesta Drive; departments recommended denial

The Punta Gorda Development Review Committee unanimously denied an extension request for DRC approval DRC-10-2022 for the property at 1323 Acuesta Drive on Sept. 12. The committee recorded the motion to deny and a unanimous voice vote.

Staff reported that the most recent extension for the application expired Sept. 7, 2025, and that Urban Design, Zoning and Public Works recommended denial of further extension. After the committee’s motion to deny was carried by an “aye” vote, staff advised the applicant to contact the Urban Design office to schedule a design‑studio appointment to prepare a resubmittal when ready. No additional conditions or continuances were provided; the extension request was denied effective Sept. 12, 2025.

The transcript records the motion, a second, and a unanimous voice vote. The committee did not provide further comment in the meeting transcript beyond the direction to consult Urban Design for resubmission guidance.
