Planning Department to reveal changes
MANATEE — Manatee County Planning Department officials Tuesday will deliver a set of recommendations on the future of the development review process and the face of the community in unincorporated Manatee County.

Osborne also will offer a glimpse of improvements to come, including an automated plans tracking system, land development code improvements and a Development Review Committee. Site plan reviews that once took two years can now take as little as three months.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday in the fifth- floor meeting room of Manatee County Administrative Center, 1112 Manatee Ave. W. For more information on the discussion, call (941) 748-4501, ext. 6825.
