834 Riverside Drive Palmetto, FL 34221

This gorgeous mixed-use development site is situated in the heart of Palmetto, Florida, just steps from the Manatee River. It is minutes from pristine white-sand beaches, cultural destinations, entertainment and shopping. The property is located directly adjacent to ItWorks! corporate headquarters w...ith over 200 employees and across the street from Regatta Pointe Marina, restaurants and shops. This 3.4+/- acre development site is prime for development that could include a boutique hotel, multifamily, office space or residential condominiums with ground floor or adjacent retail and restaurants, all with water views. Due to the site's proximity to the public boat ramp, the CRA is requiring that a developer design and construct boat trailer parking on a portion of the site to accommodate approximately 20-30 boat trailer spaces.The net developable area will end up being approximately 2.5 - 3 acres. Due to the current split zoning on the property, the Expectation is that a rezone to Planned Development Multi-Use (PD-MU) will be required. Residential density on the site has been increased to 153 units through a recently completed City- initiated Comprehensive Plan Amendment that changed the Future Land Use (FLU) to Planned Community (PC). The City of Palmetto and the Palmetto Community Redevelopment Agency are encouraging development in the Downtown Core by incentivizing projects that bring more activity to the area and accentuate this tremendous waterfront location. Development Incentives may amount to 8-12% of the total development cost paid back to the Developer (City Commission has ultimate discretion on Incentives). **PURCHASE REQUIREMENTS - PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PURCHASE OF THIS PROPERTY IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS AND STIPULATIONS: * Developer must submit proposal that includes Letter of Intent, Conceptual Plan, and Development Proforma in order to be considered. * Approval of the Development Concept by the Palmetto Redevelopment Agency and City Council prior to contract execution, with requirements of Buyer to fulfill development obligations. * Developer is responsible for constructing boat trailer parking on a portion of the site to accommodate approximately 20-30 boat trailer spaces for future public use. *If a residential project is proposed, a mixed use component of retail, restaurant, and/or office space is required.
