In a highly contested vote on Thursday night, Manatee County commissioners advanced a proposal to modify the county’s growth plan, potentially opening the door for the developer of Lakewood Ranch to build 7,000 homes directly east of the master-planned community, across a county boundary meant to constrain urban sprawl.
The commission voted 4-3 to allow the development proposal to proceed by transmitting the growth plan change to the state. The vote is not a final approval of the project but allows it to keep advancing in the face of community opposition.
Commission Chair Vanessa Baugh and Commissioners George Kruse and James Satcher voted against the motion to send the proposal to the state. They cited concerns about letting the development gather momentum before the commission has a chance to fully evaluate the larger question at play – whether they should honor the existing urban service boundary line, known as the Future Development Area Boundary, or modify it – and solicit more public input.
