Re: Re: Sensible Growth for Sarasota County?
by
Bill
The League's position paper on this topic seems to have been prepared mainly by former County Administrator John Wesley White, who was on the League board for awhile recently. Unfortunately, this paper contains some mistakes about the proposed amendments. For example, the Supermajority proposal does not address rezonings at all. It only addresses increases in density or intensity in the Comprehensive Plan. These increases happen through the Comprehensive Plan Amendment process, not through rezonings. Rezonings would not be affected by the amendment, and would still only require 3 out of 5 votes by the BCC. Our amendment would require 4 out of 5 votes by the BCC only to amend the Comprehensive Plan. Interestingly, quite a few members of the CSG board and participants are also members of the League, and the League's position (especially inasmuch as it "gets it wrong") does not reflect our views.
