This meeting was scheduled with short notice to take place before May 28, 2024, when the North Port City Commission meets at 6 pm to determine next steps on several sensitive items as noted below. Concerned citizens of North Port want SCAN followers to be aware; online or in-person public comment on any of these items would be welcome:
Discussion and possible action on the status of action items relating to Warm Mineral Springs Phase 1 and Phase 2 future development.
1st reading for the Comprehensive Plan amendments for various chapters and the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The Comp Plan must be amended to correspond with the rewrite the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC). The FLUM is changing considerably. The FLUM illustrates the direction the city plans to go regarding future development. The FLUM is not the same as the ULDC Zoning Map, but the proposed changes are very similar. After 1st reading the State must review prior to final adoption.
Discussion and Possible Action Regarding the City of North Port Sumter/I-75 Interchange (aka Gateway Activity Center) Master Plan.
