Gulf Gate Estates, located between U.S. 41 (Tamiami Trail) and Beneva Road, is a residential and commercial Sarasota neighborhood with canal-lined streets and a mid-century Florida feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Gulf Gate Village cluster near the intersection of Gulf Gate Drive and Superior Avenue, where sidewalk patios, pubs, and small storefronts keep the streetscape active. Local pillars include Gulf Gate Food + Beer, Munchies 420 Cafe, and the Gulf Gate Library. Ranch-style homes and low-slung contemporary builds sit behind mature palms, with many blocks oriented to water. A web of sidewalks and short drives connects daily errands to casual dining and coffee. Nearby parks and the Legacy Trail add an outdoors-forward rhythm without leaving the south Sarasota grid.

RMF-2
Multi-Family District
The RMF Districts permit multifamily residential densities, which may take the form of a variety of housing types, including single-family detached, lot line, traditional, patio, villa, atrium, duplex, townhouse, multiplex, or apartment units. These districts are used in areas having convenient access to both collector and arterial streets, and nearby civic and commercial uses, as well as employment opportunities; The RMF Districts are generally used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential, Office Multifamily Residential Areas and Corridors, and Town and Village Centers on the Future Land Use Map, on the Barrier Islands where the application of the district would not increase the density of development or hamper hurricane evacuation planning and disaster mitigation efforts, and Developments of Regional Impact. The RMF Districts, while not a primary implementing district, may also be allowed in Regional, Community, Village I, Village II, and Neighborhood Commercial Centers. Appropriate densities within the Medium Density and High Density Residential areas shall be guided by the density ranges as outlined in Future Land Use Policy 1.1.1, Objective 2.3, and Policy 2.3.1 of the Comprehensive Plan. These densities shall also be determined, in part, by the land use designations and developed residential areas surrounding the parcel.
