Historic Preservation Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Program (24-PA-01) - An Ordinance to allow for the transfer of unused development rights from historic buildings that are located in sending zones to development sites located in receiving zones in order to preserve historic buildings.

Solar Utilities (23-PA-01) - Text amendment to include Solar Utilities as an additional existing and planned primary use within the Production Intensive Commercial Future Land Use classification and to provide a definition of "Solar Utility". 24-5525
City Comprehensive Plan Amendment - Text and Future Land Use Map (22-PA-04) - Ordinances to create a new Future Land Use Map (FLUM) classification referred to as “Urban Mixed-Use” for parcels that today allow for densities of up to 25 dwelling units per acre, based on existing Future Land Use (FLU) classifications (Community Commercial, Community Office Institutional, and Urban Edge [along 12th Street, east of US 301]). The new “Urban Mixed-Use” classification is proposed to encourage mixed-use development along commercial corridors and commercial centers. Mixed-use development encourages both residential and/or non-residential projects and will further activate these areas, creating spaces where people can live close to transit options, employment centers, retail, and neighborhood services. The intent of the proposed FLUM amendments is to incentivize attainable housing along commercial corridors as well as in existing Downtown Bayfront, Downtown Core, and Urban Edge Future Land Use classifications and throughout the city by providing density bonuses in exchange for attainable housing.

There are three exceptions:

  1. The City of Sarasota is proposing to change the FLUM classification for parcels located at 1174 and 1186 Hampton Road (PID#s 2007-01-0003 and 2007-01-0001) that currently have classifications of Community Commercial to Multiple Family (Moderate Density) to be consistent with the existing zoning.
  2. The City of Sarasota is proposing to change the FLUM classification for a parcel located at 2104 Robinhood Street (PID# 0074-12-0041) that currently has a FLUM classification of Community Commercial to Community Office Institutional to be consistent with previously approved land development plans.
  3. The City of Sarasota is proposing to change the FLUM classification for parcels located west of South Shade Avenue, south of Fruitville, and east of the Seminole Gulf Railroad and proposed Legacy Trail extension and north of Ringling Boulevard that currently have FLUM classifications of Community Commercial and Community Office Institutional to Urban Edge.
