County commissioners on Tuesday took a procedural step toward approving three hotels on Siesta Key, unanimously advancing three out-of-cycle changes to the county’s future land use policy.
The changes pertain to height, density and transient use on the barrier island.
The three hotel proposals were set to be approved without discussion, but Commissioner Christian Ziegler reset them for full consideration. Commissioner Mike Moran clarified the approval means staff will now allocate time for a review and discussion process. It does not mean the projects have the green light to be built.
“The community has plenty of opportunities, including workshops and Planning Commission hearings to be heard,” Moran said.
