SUBJECT: Consideration of Petition ANX-23-190, Warm Mineral Springs Motel Voluntary Annexation via Ord. No. 2024-08.
____________________________________________________________________________
Recommended Action
The Planning & Zoning Advisory Board recommends that the City Commission approve ANX-23-190, Warm Mineral Springs Motel Voluntary Annexation via Ord. No. 2024-08.
Background Information
Manish Patel (Authorized Agent), on behalf of Vijay Patel, Owner of North Port Investment One LLC (Property Owner), submitted an application to the City of North Port for the voluntary annexation of a ± 1.7716-acre parcel of property, which includes the Warm Mineral Springs Motel. The property is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of South Tamiami Trail and Ortiz Boulevard. The property currently has the Sarasota County designation of General Commercial (CG) and the Sarasota County future land use designation of Commercial Corridor (COMCOR).
The Warm Mineral Springs Motel was constructed in 1958 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In addition, the property lies within the City’s Future Annexation Area, meaning it is designated to be considered for annexation. It is bordered to the east by Activity Center #1 and directly to the south by vacant commercial property located inside the City’s boundaries.
Subsequent to the proposed annexation of the property into the City’s boundary, an application to change the future land use map designation of the property to be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan is required.
At this time, the applicant has only applied to voluntarily annex their property into the City. Applications for a comprehensive plan amendment and rezone are anticipated to be submitted at a later date.
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved Ordinance 2024-08 for form and correctness.
The Business Impact Estimate for this ordinance will be posted timely prior to second reading, per Florida Statutes Section 166.041(4).
