During the recent Planning Commission meeting in Venice, Sarasota County, a significant zoning change was proposed that could reshape local residential dynamics. The commission discussed a request to rezone two properties located at 225 Park Boulevard South and 528 Menendez Street. The current zoning classification is residential multifamily 4, and the request seeks to change it to residential single family 4.

Annette Boone, representing the Boone Law Firm, presented the request, highlighting the potential benefits of this zoning adjustment. If approved, the change could lead to a shift in the neighborhood's character, promoting single-family homes in an area currently designated for multifamily residences.

This proposal is part of ongoing efforts to address community needs and preferences regarding housing types in Venice. The commission's decision on this matter will be crucial in determining the future development landscape of the area.

As the Planning Commission continues to evaluate such proposals, residents and stakeholders are encouraged to stay informed and engaged in discussions that directly impact their community's growth and character.
