Council re-approves first readings for Curry Lane annexation and rezoning after notice error; water-management stipulation removed
Summary
After a newspaper notice error forced redoing first readings, the council unanimously reapproved first-reading annexation, comp plan and zoning map amendments for 2805 Curry Lane (a proposed medical-office site); staff said Southwest Florida Water Management District issues were resolved and the applicant asked removal of a previously added stipulation.
The Venice City Council on Feb. 10 reapproved on first reading three related ordinances for 2805 Curry Lane after a legal-advertising error required the items to be republished.
Nicole Tremblay, identified as senior planner, said the petition covers roughly 5 acres on Curry Lane requesting annexation, a future land-use change to institutional professional, and a zoning map amendment to the city's office/professional/institutional district to allow a proposed medical-office building. Tremblay told council that a prior concern involving the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) has been resolved and no stipulation is necessary.
Agent Marty Black asked council to remove a stipulation that had been placed in ordinance language because SWFWMD had modified its permit to resolve previous issues. "We do have the letter from the water management district indicating that the issues along Curry Lane have been resolved," Black said, and asked that the ordinance be amended to remove the stipulation. Council amended the motion and approved the first readings unanimously.
All three items (annexation, comp plan map amendment and zoning map amendment) were advanced on first reading and scheduled for final hearings. No members of the public signed up to speak on the petitions during the hearing.
