Background Information

Martin P. Black on behalf of property owner Evan Duke of 5 Diamonds of Venice, LLC, formally submitted to the City of North Port a petition for voluntary annexation for a ?1.6-acre property 'subject property', located near the southwest corner of the intersection of River Road and Tamiami Trail. The property currently has the Sarasota County zoning designation of 'Open Use Estate' and the Sarasota County future land use designation of 'Rural'. The property is located within the City's Future Annexation Area, meaning it has been designated to be considered for annexation. It is bordered to the west by the new Wastewater Treatment Plant, vacant West Villages land within the City of North Port to the south, Tamiami Trail to the north, and unincorporated Sarasota County land with a communication tower to the east.
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved Ordinance 2020-17 as to form and correctness.
The Planning and Zoning Advisory Board heard this item at their regularly scheduled meeting on May 7, 2020 and voted 6-0 to recommend approval of Ordinance 2020-17 to City Commission.

Added for Second Reading: The City Commission heard this item at their regularly scheduled meeting on May 26th. A motion was made to continue Ordinance 2020-17 to second reading on June 9, 2020 with changes to include adding the recommendation from PZAB and correcting the date of the PZAB meeting in line 19 of the ordinance. These changes have been made.
