Sarasota Development Viability Hampered by Parking Bond Restrictions
What happened
A project in St. Armands, Sarasota, requires 17 off-street parking spaces but the site only provides 13. The plans attempt to close this gap by leasing 11 spaces inside the St. Armands public parking garage, which the city says would violate the parking bond. A meeting is scheduled for September 23 to determine if a lease can resolve the conflict.

Why it matters
The St. Armands garage was financed using public bonds and is supported by a special assessment on St. Armands businesses. The inability to secure the necessary parking spaces could impact the viability of the proposed garage development.
A feasibility study previously justified the construction and revenue projections for a new garage development in St. Armands, Sarasota.
