Summary:
The subject property consists of one parcel totaling 0.39 acre on 46th Avenue North in the west Lealman area. It is not located within the Lealman Community Redevelopment Area (CRA). The property currently contains a single family home that was built in 1938. It is designated Residential Urban (RU) on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and zoned R-4, One, Two and Three Family Residential. The applicants wish to utilize the existing home as an office for their small business. They are proposing a FLUM amendment to Residential/Office General (R/OG) and a zoning change to GO, General Office. The changes would allow for a variety of office uses. The applicants have stated that there will be no storage of products or commercial vehicles on site, nor will there be customers. It is intended to provide a control center for phones and filing.
There are a mix of uses in the surrounding area. A pool contractor’s office occupies the adjacent property to the east, a duplex and triplex are to the north, a mobile home park is to the south across 46th Avenue North and a single family home is to the west, beyond which is an apartment complex and an area with marine and auto repair businesses.
In general, the requested FLUM and zoning amendments are compatible with the surrounding land uses and development pattern. The proposed allowable maximum intensity could increase, but only minimal impacts to infrastructure are expected. The proposal is consistent with the Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan and is appropriate for this location.
