Commission approves Vistara Phase 2 preliminary plat for 190 single‑family lots
Summary
The commission approved preliminary plat petition 25‑18PP for Vistara Phase 2, adding 190 single‑family lots in the GCCF planned unit development; approval keeps the project under the PUD unit cap and requires standard final‑plat and construction‑plan reviews.
VENICE, Fla. — The Venice Planning Commission on Aug. 19 approved preliminary plat petition 25‑18PP for Vistara Phase 2, authorizing 190 single‑family lots on approximately 89.56 acres as part of the existing GCCF planned unit development (PUD). The motion passed 7‑0.
Senior planner Nicole Tremblay said Phase 2 comprises 190 lots accessed internally from Vistara Boulevard and that the proposal is consistent with the GCCF binding master plan. Tremblay told commissioners that with the previously platted Phase 1 (391 lots) and an approved multifamily site plan (665 units), the addition of 190 lots in Phase 2 brings the PUD to 1,246 units, which remains below the PUD cap of 1,300 units.
“The preliminary plat is consistent with all applicable elements of the comprehensive plan and with the GCCF binding master plan,” Tremblay said.
Agent Jackson Boone told the commission Phase 2 is “extremely limited in scope” and consists mainly of the 190 single‑family lots and associated roadways; Phase 1 had already established open space and perimeter buffers. The applicant’s engineer confirmed stormwater from the Phase 2 ponds will connect through Phase 1 ponds and eventually discharge to the south along Border Road, consistent with the Phase 1 approvals.
No members of the public signed up to speak on the petition. After staff and the applicant answered a question about stormwater routing, the commission moved and approved the preliminary plat.
Votes at a glance: preliminary plat petition 25‑18PP (Vistara Phase 2) — approved 7‑0. Next steps include final‑plat recording and construction‑plan review to confirm open‑space, perimeter buffers and stormwater mitigation before building permits are issued.
