Following a month away from the meeting chamber the Sarasota City Commission will hit the ground running at its Monday, July 7 meeting with several key items on its agenda.

On the latest Observer article, Nichols Architects project with Seaward Development, The Mira Mar, is a highlight on the list. The second reading to approve an amendment to the Future Land Use Chapter of the city’s Comprehensive Plan will potentially allow for rezoning of the Mira Mar building and associated property at 65 S. Palm Ave. and 136 Miramar Court. If the approval is granted, there’s still at least one other instance of voting before final approval.

On May 19, 2025, the Planning Board voted 3-2 to recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment. The new meeting will take place at 9 a.m. Monday, July 7, in the commission chamber at City Hall, 1565 First St.
