Sarasota County: rezoning and entitlement cases

1234 land use cases in Sarasota County sit in the tracker's active deal window: 315 in motion (filed, in review, or set for hearing), 141 recently approved, 233 approved, 34 approved earlier, with a dated event in that window, 338 approved, with no recent activity, and 173 open, with no recent activity. By case type: Site Plan (994), Rezoning (171), Special Exception (34), Comprehensive Plan Amendment (SCPA) (17), Development petition (12), Comprehensive Plan Amendment (LCPA) (6). 151 of them state a dwelling unit count in the filing, 43,982 units in all, a floor rather than a total. Recently approved means the approval itself falls inside the last 24 months. A full date counts when that date is inside the window. When the source gives only a year, the case is recently approved only when January 1 of that year is on or after the start of the window, so the whole year is inside. The label says Approved and that year. A year that starts before the window is Approved, and it is not recently approved. The year is the approval's own year. A date on another row does not supply it. The page never invents a month or a day, and a year-only approval sorts at the end of that year. Approved earlier, with a dated event in that window, counts a real dated event, and only when the approval itself is older than the window. A duplicate year-only row does not count when a real approval date exists. No recent activity means no real dated event on the case's own timeline in that same window. A filing, a hearing, a permit, a construction step, a stormwater record, and a Notice of Commencement all count when the date is a real date. A year is not a date. An open case known only by year stays open. It is not Approved, and it is not in review, and it is not counted in motion. An older approval stays Approved. A later filing is a link to the newer case. It does not make an older approval recently approved, and it does not replace this case's status. Every case page carries the timeline in the source's own words and a link to the official record. The full archive for this jurisdiction runs deeper and is part of The Tracker.
