Treasure Island voters put in place building height and population density limits because they did not want high-density, high-rise developments in their city. Despite this, our elected officials and our city employees are actively working in opposition to the voters’ wishes!
We, the undersigned, want Our Treasure Island to retain the small town atmosphere it currently enjoys, to this end, we are petitioning the elected officials and the employees of the City of Treasure Island to cease all efforts to:
* increase building height limits.
* increase population density limits.
* circumvent voter established building height and population density limits by developing a point system that would enable the City to barter with developers for increases to the building height and/or population density limits.
* create Planned Development District Ordinances that allow developers to bring forth referendums asking the voters to approve increases to the existing building height and population density limits.
Everyone is invited to sign our petition it is not just for residents or voters, all stakeholders should have a voice in this matter and tourists and visitors opinions need to be heard too! You can indicate whether you are a resident, tourist, etc. in the Comments box when you sign the petition.
This petition is sponsored by Our Treasure Island. Visit us online at OurTreasureIsland.com. If you object to the wording of the petition or have suggestions for improving it please send an e-mail to: [email protected] Thanks!

we all enjoy the historic feeling of treasure island including the mom and pop hotels and restaurants.Adding high rise devopments only adds to overcrowding, traffic jams, reduced evacuation routes and impact on environment. Save Treasure Island and kingfish park!
Speaking specifically to the North-End PD, the developers knew when they purchased those properties what the building height and tourist dwelling density limits were, if they didn’t feel they could develop the property in a profitable manner given those limitations then they shouldn’t have bought the properties!
The traffic is bad enough now
Keep Treasure Island tranquil!
My vision is the same as when I bought property on TI - keep the small town ambiance.
This would be a detriment to our community!
Let the residents of Treasure Island vote on any and all changes pertaining to land and building development!

City officials should be looking out for what's in the best interest for the residents of Treasure Island - Not a Developer who has no real intention other than making money without any regards to the negative impact such a development will have on the quality of life to the residents of Treasure Island.
