Sarasota zoning bill backers seek swift Senate passage
Senator Joe Rood said he will push the Sarasota County zoning measure in the Senate in the same form as the House. The bill would let the County Commission remove zoning board members by a majority vote, ending the prior two thirds requirement. If approved, the amendments become law after the 10 day period without the governor signature or upon his signing. The contentious clause tying members to district selection and 60 day terms was dropped.
