5 days ago Share After the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity reviews the development request, Manatee Commission will decide whether development will be allowed east of boundary line. A land amendment that would allow development beyond the Future Development Area Boundary line under limited circumstances in Manatee County was approved for transmittal by the Manatee County Commission on Thursday. Transmitting the amendment does not mean it was approved by the Commission. The amendment will be submitted to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity for review and comments. It will then come back before the Commission within 180 days of submitting the transmittal for a final vote.
