Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 22-20, a proposal by the City of Clearwater to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Office to Public/Semi-Public, regarding 1.86 acres more or less, located at 905 South Highland Avenue.
• The amendment area is located on the east side of South Highland Avenue, approximately 450 feet south of Druid Road.
• The subject property is currently vacant but was previously occupied by a nursing home which was demolished in 2006 and is currently under the ownership of YMCA of the Suncoast, Inc. who also own the property directly to the south.
• As the property to the south has been sold for the purpose of a learning institution, the property owners intend to develop the amendment area with a smaller facility to replace the sold property.
• An amendment to the Public/Semi-Public category would allow for the property owners to build a facility for social/public and/or educational services, which is typical for YMCA facilities.
• Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each unanimously recommended approval of the proposal.
