The Board of Charlotte County Commissioners shot down a request Feb. 25 to rezone 138.32 acres to pave the way for 1,188 apartments in five-story buildings in the Punta Gorda area.

Tag Lakeside LLC represented by land-use attorney Robert Berntsson, of the Big W Law firm, later withdrew the application, with Berntsson planning to reapply at a later date.

The property zoned for 135 units is located north of Turbak Drive, south of Peace River Shores Boulevard, east of Cobalt Boulevard and west of Duncan Road.

Some members of grassroots group No Tag Lakeside opposed the project during the public portion.
