Summary:
Summary
The amendment area is approximately 0.29 acre, located at 4940 41st Avenue North in Lealman. The property is currently being used as an office and is designated Residential Office Limited (ROL) on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and zoned LO, Limited Office. The applicant is requesting a zoning change on the property to R-3, Single-Family Residential so he can use the property for single-family residential.
The existing LO zoning does not allow single-family residential uses. The proposed zoning amendment to R-3 would allow the proposed use. The proposed zoning change to R-3 would also be consistent with the adjacent residential uses along 41st Avenue North.
The subject area is adjacent to residential uses to the west that are zoned R-3, which is the same as requested by the applicant. There is a self-service carwash, separated by an alley to the east and a large daycare with corporate offices to the north. To the south are also single-family homes. The requested zoning designation of R-3 is compatible with the area and consistent with the surrounding development pattern. The subject property is not within the Coastal Storm Area and has a low flood risk.
Staff is of the opinion that the proposed Zoning Atlas amendment is appropriate for the subject property and is compatible with the surrounding development pattern. In general, the proposal is consistent with the Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan and is appropriate for this location.
