Summary:
Summary
The subject site consists of two (2) vacant parcels totaling 0.34-acre. The property is designated Residential Urban (RU) on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM), which allows up to 7.5 residential units per acre, and it is zoned RMH, Residential Mobile/Manufactured Home, which allows single family detached residential as well as mobile/manufactured homes and residential equivalent uses. Although the specific future residential development type is undetermined, the applicant wishes to change the zoning to create more flexible options for housing stock.
A zoning amendment to R-5 (Urban Residential) is proposed, which allows detached single family, duplex, triplex, and townhouses. The RU FLUM category would allow up to three (3) residential units on the site. Therefore, with R-5 zoning the potential development scenarios include either three (3) single family detached or attached (townhouse) homes, one (1) duplex and one (1) single family detached home, or one (1) triplex. What is ultimately built, however, will be subject to the development review process and permitting.
The subject property is within a predominately low-density residential area. This area south of Gandy Boulevard contains a mixture of single-family homes, townhomes, and individual-lot mobile homes.
Staff is of the opinion that the proposed Zoning Atlas amendment is appropriate for the subject property. The R-5 zoning will provide for residential development types at a scale that is compatible with the surrounding development pattern. The maximum residential density, which is based on the FLUM, is not increasing, therefore additional impacts to infrastructure are not anticipated. In general, the proposal is consistent with the Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan and is appropriate for this location.
