Commission, planning board to hold joint meeting

The Longboat Key Town Commission and Planning and Zoning Board will hold a joint meeting at 9 a.m. Monday, Oct. 20, at Longboat Key Town Hall.

The boards will discuss revising the town’s codes and Comprehensive Plan for nonconforming properties.
Many of the town’s properties are non-conforming due to the 1984 Comprehensive Plan and codes passed around the same time. As a result, many property owners face constraints when they seek to redevelop their properties.

The commission discussed the need to revise the town’s codes and Comprehensive Plan at its Sept. 15 workshop.

Town Manager Dave Bullock warned commissioners during the workshop of the long process ahead.
“As much as it may disappoint you, you’re gonna talk about this a lot,” he said. “You’re going to talk about it in details that will make your eyes roll back, because that’s what it’s going to take to work through this code.”
