Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 22-15, a proposal by the City of Clearwater to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Office to Retail and Services, regarding 0.74 acres more or less, located at 1640 Gulf to Bay Boulevard.
• The subject property located on the corner of Gulf to Bay Boulevard and South Keystone Drive and consists of an office building being utilized as a bank and is part of a larger 2.26-acre subject property which is split in its designation as Office and Retail and Services.
• The city has identified this property as economically underutilized due to the abundance of parking on the property.
• The applicant intends to maintain existing bank and develop a car wash on a portion of the parking lot. Ample parking will still be maintained for the bank under this proposal.
• Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each unanimously recommended approval of the proposal.
