Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 22-06, a proposal by Pinellas County to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Residential Low Medium and Scenic/Non Commercial Corridor to Office and Scenic/Non Commercial Corridor, regarding 2.25 acres more or less, located at 1961 East Lake Road.
• The amendment area is located approximately 100 feet north of Woodlands Boulevard and is the former location of a private school.
• The area surrounding the subject property is comprised of lower-density residential uses and open space, with enclaves of supporting nonresidential uses located near major road intersections.
• The applicant intends to utilize the amendment area for professional office uses, hence the proposed amendment to Office.
• The proposed category would allow up to 11 residential units on the property based on its acreage, and a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.2. Furthermore, at the local government level, the applicant is pursuing a separate zoning amendment that would limit the site to professional office uses and prohibit residential uses.
• Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each unanimously recommended approval of the proposal.
