Manatee County Government
How Will We Grow
A Vision for Manatee County to 2035. Holistic process to include public input meetings, Land Development Code & Comprehensive Plan changes related to managing future growth in the community.
Mission: To create a more defined and fiscally sound blueprint for how Manatee County will grow by the year 2035, and to define how that growth will impact the County's delivery of services to its citizens. This will include roads, transit, utilities (water, wastewater and solid waste), parks, social services, public safety, natural resources, libraries, and schools (in regard to siting and shared facilities). How Will We Grow will have 3 Options presented to the BCC in the first quarter of 2012 as follows:
- Stay the course - limited changes consistent with current suburban growth plans
- Urban infill and redevelopment focus which will identify areas of infrastructure capacity and provide more options to develop and redevelop in areas where services already exist.
- Four activity centers (unincorporated) - focus development into four areas so the County has more certainty in service and infrastructure delivery.
The Planning Commission and BCC will be asked to select an option in the first quarter of 2012. The option chosen will affect the level and type of changes to the following:
- Utility Master Planning and extension policies;
- Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map updates;
- Land Development Code amendments; and
- Impact fee study amendments
