From the meeting
At the October 28, 2026 meeting, the council considered V-04-2026 for The Islands Kitchen and Cocktail House at 1200 West Retta Esplanade. The variance would allow a 10-foot waterfront setback for a covered outdoor deck instead of the required 25 feet. The Board of Zoning Appeals had already recommended approval with conditions on September 29, 2026, and staff tied the request to the existing restaurant use.
This points to a near-term construction decision and related design/build work at Fishermen's Village.
