Recommended Action
Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 24-18, a proposal by the City of St. Petersburg to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Public/Semi-Public to Residential Medium, regarding 5.09 acres more or less, located at 6942 1st Avenue South, 0 1st Avenue South and 0 2nd Avenue South.
• The property currently hosts institutional uses (church pre-school).
• The proposed amendment aims to facilitate the development of multifamily residential units, which aligns with regional goals to increase residential density and accommodate growth.
• The proposed Residential Medium designation supports medium-density development and allows for up to 15 dwelling units per acre, with potential for higher density if certain conditions are met.
• This change seeks to align with broader planning objectives, including enhancing neighborhood fabric and providing residents with access to commercial, recreational, and employment opportunities.
• Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each recommended approval of the proposal.
