Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 24-07, a proposal by the City of Safety Harbor to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Public/Semi-Public to Recreation/Open Space, regarding 5.07 acres more or less, located at west of Elm Street and south of Cedar Street.
• The subject property is owned by the Pinellas County School Board.
• The Safety Harbor Secondary School was located on the property until it was demolished in 2009.
• The subject property is being conveyed to the City of Safety Harbor for a future park use.
• The Multimodal Accessibility Index score for the subject property’s grid cell is 5.56, which is below the countywide average score of 9.7. However, the proposed Countywide Plan Map amendment results in a decrease in both density and intensity.
