The Sarasota County legislative session saw a stalled zoning reform effort as Sen. Ed Price Jr. refused to introduce the planning and zoning streamlining bill. The measure would have consolidated key provisions from 1951 and later amendments to speed rezoning petitions and restore a functional Zoning Board of Appeals, with critics arguing the delay harms local governance.
The piece argues planning and zoning changes were a major election issue with three new commissioners elected by large margins in support. It quotes a local official claiming voters want change and that a bill for the 1963 Legislature could reflect majority will, while criticizing Sen Price for noncooperation and partisan pressure harming the people.
