TREASURE ISLAND, Fla. — Treasure Island officials are rethinking the language in a plan that would allow for taller buildings in the city.

What You Need To Know

  • Treasure Island commissioners are reconsidering their building height plan

  • The new proposal would limit 80-foot buildings to the west of Gulf Boulevard

  • The revision still provides Thunderbird Beach Resort the opportunity to build taller


Three weeks ago, commissioners voted 3-2 to allow taller buildings on both sides of Gulf Boulevard, the first of two needed votes.

However, at a workshop on Tuesday night, that changed.

Mayor John Doctor says commissioners are proposing a new plan that will allow buildings to be built to 80 feet only to the west of Gulf Boulevard.

“What we found out in this workshop is that the folks up here, the five commissioners, wanted to make some changes,” Doctor said. “It just basically means that we are going to have to pull (the first ordinance) back and send a separate one in two weeks.”

The initial discussion began with the Thunderbird Beach Resort wanting to build up.

The revised ordinance would still allow Thunderbird the same opportunity.
