Manatee County Land Development Code Rewrite & Update

Inspire updated the County’s Land Development Code. The first phase consisted of reorganizing the code to ensure ease of use, eliminating repetitive language eliminating internal inconsistencies, and incorporating regulations related to practices that have been in place b but never codified. The second phase included an assessment of the major commercial corridors within the urban core area and developing code amendments to improve opportunities for quality development and allow the County to realize its vision of a revitalized urban area. Both efforts also required updates to the Comprehensive Plan. This project received the 2017 Outstanding Long Range Study/Plan Award from the Florida Planning and Zoning Association (FPZA)
