BRADENTON - A common complaint expressed in public meetings of late has been that government officials are approving rezoning requests for new housing when there are so many houses in foreclosure, for sale or vacant.
On Thursday at the County Commission's land use meeting, commissioners will hear three presentations scheduled from companies seeking to rezone Manatee County land for 1,141 new residences, according to the agenda. The meeting will be held at 9 a.m. in the Commission Chambers at the Manatee County Administrative Center, 1112 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.

The third presentation will be from Woodlands of Manatee LLC for the Coventry Park Subdivision in Palmetto on nearly 106 acres. The preliminary site plan is for 256 residences, consisting of 193 lots for single-family detached homes and 63 lots for single-family attached residences, with at least 25 percent of the latter (64 homes) designated as affordable housing.
The site is west of Erie Road and south of the FP&L railroad at 5901 Erie Road.
In letters to county officials, residents in the area have complained that the new development will have a negative impact on their quality of life because of the increased population and use of roads.
