Benderson seeks ringling‑boulevard rezone for redevelopment of former county building
Summary
Benderson Development, through Kimley‑Horn, asked to extend zoning and future land‑use across about 1 acre at 1660 Ringling Boulevard to redevelop the former county administration building; planning staff noted the rezone ties to a pending comprehensive‑plan amendment and recommended continued neighborhood engagement.
Devon Glantz told the Development Review Committee that the application is a rezone without a site plan for 26REN03 (1660 Ringling Boulevard) and that the request is linked to a comprehensive‑plan amendment (26PA01).
Brooke Fleming of Kimley‑Horn, representing Benderson Development, said the proposal would extend zoning and future land‑use across roughly one acre to allow redevelopment of the former Sarasota County administration building. Planning staff asked the applicant to amend the proper statement to include the rezone number and recommended continued neighborhood engagement during the review process.
Reviewers across departments reported no substantive requirements or mitigation comments at this stage; advisory comments and additional details could be requested once more information is filed. If the rezone is approved by the City Commission, any future development must comply with the Downtown Core zone district standards and may require subsequent site‑plan and subdivision actions before building permits are issued.
