General Information

Mark Gerenger, Managing Partner, on behalf of Sabal Trace Development Partners, LLC, property owner, formally submitted to the City of North Port four petitions for a ? 207.5 acre property including a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezone, Text Amendment, and Development Master Plan. The subject property is located between North Port Boulevard and Sumter Boulevard, north of Greenwood Avenue and south of Appomattox Drive. This property was formerly the Sabal Trace golf course, which ceased operations in 2015. The property is bordered on the north, east, and west by single-family zoning, with densities varying on the east (4 units per acre) and west (10 units per acre). On the south, east, and west sides the property is bordered by residential multifamily zoning, with condominiums and townhomes on either side. On the southern edge, the property has direct access along Greenwood Avenue and fronts the Cocoplum waterway.

The applicant also proposes to rezone the subject property to implement the Future Land Use of 'Activity Center.' The property is currently zoned as 'Commercial Recreation (ComRec).'
