The Sarasota County Planning Commission will consider a proposal next month to rezone a property on East Manasota Beach Road from residential and office use to a commercial designation.
The public hearing is set for Sept. 4 at 5 p.m. at the Robert L. Anderson Administration Center in Venice. The petition, filed under case number RZ 25-01, seeks to change the zoning of the parcel at 1407 East Manasota Beach Road from OUE-2 (Open Use Estate, one unit per two acres) and OPI (Office, Professional and Institutional) to CN (Commercial Neighborhood).
County officials said the proposal, if approved, would allow for neighborhood-level commercial development at the site, which lies near the intersection of SR776 and Manasota Beach Road. Interested residents may review the petition and supporting documents during normal business hours at the Planning and Development Services Department, 1001 Sarasota Center Blvd., Sarasota. The materials will also be posted online on the Friday before the hearing at www.scgov.net under “Planning Commission.”
Residents can submit written comments to the Planning and Development Services Department or email them to [email protected] prior to the meeting. The hearing could be continued if necessary…
