Gulf Gate, located between U.S. 41 (Tamiami Trail) and Beneva Road, is a mid-century and canal-laced Gulf Gate Estates neighborhood with a walkable commercial strip and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Gulf Gate Drive and Superior Avenue corridor, where independent pubs, coffee counters, and low-key eateries line the sidewalks. Phillippi Creek Oyster Bar, Gulf Gate Food + Beer, and Word of Mouth Bookstore serve as familiar local pillars. Ranch homes and Florida bungalows sit on curving streets, with palms and mature shade trees softening the edges. Short blocks connect to small greenspaces and the creek-and-bay geography nearby. The pace feels casual and social, with patios and storefront lights shaping evenings.

RSF-3
Residential Single-Family District
The RSF Districts permit single-family residential densities, which may take the form of single-family detached or cluster subdivisions; Cluster subdivisions may include lot line, traditional, patio, villa, atrium, duplex, or townhouse units. The nature of the use of property is the same in all RSF Districts, with variation among the RSF-1, RSF-2, RSF-3 and RSF-4 Districts in the requirements for density, lot area and width, and yards; A limited number of nonresidential uses are allowed, subject to the restrictions and requirements necessary to preserve and protect the single-family residential character of the neighborhood; The RSF Districts are generally used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as Low Density, Moderate Density and Medium Density Residential on the Future Land Use Map and 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. Locations on the Barrier Islands that have existing RSF zoning are acknowledged, and are considered to be consistent with the Future Land Use Map. The RSF-4 District is also used to implement the Comprehensive Plan in the areas shown as Office/Multifamily Residential Area and Corridor on the Future Land Use; The RSF-4 District, 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 Low; Moderate or Medium 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.
