Court upholds Sarasota asphalt plant rezoning ruling
Circuit Judge Stephen Dakan rejected the petition to reopen hearings on a 40 acre rezoning east of Venice for an asphalt plant. He ruled the Sarasota County Commission acted in line with Apexsee by denying the request for lack of an overall sector plan. The suit may be refiled with an amended plan for the 1,100 acre industrial tract and the county may soon adopt a Planned Commercial Development District ordinance governing industrial areas.
