TerraCap Enclave 270 Multi-Family Units + Commercial


TerraCap Enclave


TerraCap Enclave Details

Comment: 270 units of Multi-family brings an estimated 500 cars to this site behind RaceTrac one minute from the main entrance of Lake Sarasota. Families who have young children are likely to use Mauna Loa Boulevard to bus or drive their children to one of the three schools on Hand Road.

Add these to the families now moving into Ridgelake and Baytown Square, apartment communities just another minute farther in on North Mauna Loa. Ridgelake is filling up - it has 333 units, Baytown Square has 89 apartments. A recent visitor noted several young children at Ridgelake.

As a neighborhood, we need to consider the pressures these new residents will put on our internal roads, especially Mauna Loa, Lago, and Hand Rd.

Please plan on attending the virtual Neighborhood Workshop online via ZOOM on Thursday, July 23, 2020 at 6:00 PM to discuss the Enclave at Bee Ridge Park of Commerce (BRPOC).

The Applicant is proposing a Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Concurrent Rezoning/Special Exception request related to a 26.05 acre +/- area located in the northwest and northeast quadrants of Bee Ridge Road and Mauna Loa Boulevard, Sarasota, Florida 34231.

The overall intent of the petitions is to re-redesignate 8.87 acres +/- of the 26.05 acres +/- owned by Terracap BR Partners LP from Neighborhood Commercial to Major Employment Center (MEC) on the Future Land Use Plan. This will allow the Owners to process a Rezone/Special Exception on 17.18 acres +/- currently zoned PCD (Planned Commerce Development) without a Binding Development Concept Plan and CN (Commercial Neighborhood) to PCD with a Binding Development Concept Plan.

The Workshop presentation is an opportunity to ask questions via Zoom following the presentation. The purpose of the Workshop is to inform neighboring residents of the nature of the proposal, discuss the Binding Development Concept Plan, and to seek public comments online. Staff of the Sarasota County Planning Department will also be available to answer questions about the process. This is not a public hearing.

Workshop: Development on West Side of Lake Sarasota 7.18.23

Please share this with your Lake Sarasota neighbors: On Tuesday July 18, an online Neighborhood Workshop will take place. It's about a new proposed set of high-rise condos on the sliver of wooded land between Lake Sarasota and I-75. The developer will be going to the County with a new plan for 208 (or possibly more) dwelling units on  24.5 acres, to be called West Bridge at Lake Sarasota. Access to the land will solely be possible through roads within Lake Sarasota. Two bridges to cross over the creek (which is part of the Phillippi Creek drainage area) will be constructed.  The image below is taken from  the full proposal .

West Bridge meeting summary and next steps

By -

  Dear Neighbors, Thanks to everyone who attended the LSCG meeting on 7/27. The information to be distributed is too much for a post or an email. Please, read the summary of the meeting and the next steps moving forward. If you wish to help or have questions, please email  keithcrusso@gmail.com Thanks. First, an open letter, then more details below. To no one’s surprise, the attendees of the Lake Sarasota Community Group meeting on July 27th unanimously decided to fight the new development proposed by developer Josh Graber and his agents. We are opposed to this type of development, not to the current zoning for single-family dwellings. No number of amenities or concessions offered by the developer in the neighborhood workshop were persuasive to the twenty-thirty people who came or attended via video last night.  The community  wanted me to share this message, too: please, know that this and other developments in the area will affect every one of us, from Molokai to Berkshire, From Jarv

Sarasota Baptist's planned development: Careless? Indifferent? Dangerous?

By -

Update: On Nov. 28, 2023,  despite the absence of any traffic study. the Board of Sarasota County Commissioners voted 4-0 to approve the Sarasota Baptist windfall proposal for 87 unaffordable homes on Hand Road.  Six people from the community offered several reasons that a rational judge would consider to be compelling, but not this Board. This commission reads the Comp Plan not as a set of strategies to prevent poor planning, but rather as a mandate to mindlessly approve growth. From the follow-up story in the Sarasota News Leader : The new homes will increase car trips from 66 to 847 daily on crippled Hand Road.  Commissioner Mark Smith noted Transportation staff had provided a chart in the report on the application showing that the daily number of trips on Hand Road linked to the existing zoning, Open Use Estate, was 66. That figure was attributed to data found in the 11th edition of the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) manual, which the Transportation staff uses as its prima
