Sarasota's Urban Service Boundary & Fiscal Neutrality are protected policies in the County Charter. Many believe the County Commission may be violating these and other protections by compromising the Urban Service Boundary (USB) through the "gutting" or indiscriminate, excessive amendment of 2050 . To learn more about 2050 & the Urban Service Boundary, click here
Our neighborhoods, taxes & quality of life are at risk due to proposed changes to 2050 which benefit a handful of landowners. 2050's fiscal neutrality policy requires development outside our Urban Service Boundary to pay for the infrastructure (urban services) it requires - both the upfront and long term infrastructure costs. Existing housing capacity within Sarasota's USB is enough to meet projected housing demand for decades. Facilitating surplus development outside the USB by compromising 2050 standards undermines our community prosperity.
Your input is critical. Please share this information with others.
