Our Background

The Friends of Cape Haze, Inc. (a 501-c-3 corporation) was founded in 2003 in response to a proposed high rise, high density hotel/condo development along Placida Road. A group of concerned citizens representing citizens and homeowner’s associations in the area came together after seeing what was planned to request that the county carefully study the proposal and it’s implications.

This proposed development violated numerous land use and zoning regulations and was totally incompatible with other properties in the area.

In subsequent years the Friends of Cape Haze responded to many proposed developments which would have had a serious negative implication for the quality of life, the environment and the ecology on the Cape Haze peninsula. We also worked to help the county formulate land use regulations that assured development would be sound and compatible with our area.

We can proudly state that the Friends of Cape Haze have never raised an objection to a land owner developing their property consistent with current zoning and land use regulations.
