| Area of East Sarasota where citizen amendment would reduce density |
Rural heritage advocate Becky Ayech has launched a citizen's Comp Plan Amendment - the first such amendment to our basic planning policy to be advanced by citizens. Developers often seek amendments to increase density. This plan is unusual in that it aims to reduce density for an area in East County. The website is SarasotaCountry.net.
Here's an update from Ayech about the important public workshop coming on Jan. 27:
Many of you received the postcard Notice from Sarasota County for the meeting about CPA2019-C. This was the Amendment filed by the Miakka Community Club to have the 6,000 acres north of Fruitville Road and west of Verna Road to be changed to Rural Heritage/Estate allowing a maximum of 1 home per 5 acres instead of the Village/Open Space designation which would allow hamlets with 1 house per 1 acre.

This meeting is a public workshop being held to discuss the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Staff is presenting the content of the proposed amendment and to seek comments and suggestions regarding the amendment.
Signs, postcards to the Board of County Commissioners, petitions for the Planning Commission and the info "baby" postcards are available.
This is the first of a series of meetings. Next is the Planning Commission, the the board of County Commissioners. After they ADOPT the proposed amendment it will then be transmitted to Tallahassee for review and then come back for two additional Board of County Commission meetings.
We won't have the Staff's review until about two weeks before it goes to the Planning Commission. Date yet to be determined.
See you on Jan. 27th at 7pm at the Old Miakka Methodist Church, 1620 Myakka Rd, Sarasota, FL 34240.
