Recommended Action
Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 25-03, a proposal by the City of St. Petersburg to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Residential Medium and Preservation to Office, Residential Medium and Preservation, regarding 3.29 acres more or less, located at Site 1: 4th Street North, east of 110th Avenue North, Site 2: Northeast corner of 4th Street North and 108th Avenue North, Site 3: Northeast corner of 3rd Street North and Gandy Boulevard.
• The City of St. Petersburg is requesting an amendment to the Countywide Plan Map for three separate sites with a goal to better reflect current site conditions, support infill development on upland areas, and consolidate environmentally sensitive lands into a more cohesive preservation area.
• Site 1 is currently vacant and unimproved. Site 2 includes a wireless communications tower and an access road covering about half an acre. Site 3 is also vacant and unimproved.
• The sites currently have split designations and the City proposes reclassifying the land to 1.22 acres of Residential Medium, 0.71 acres of Office, and 1.36 acres of Preservation. While this represents a net reduction of 0.26 acres in Preservation, the change consolidates fragmented preservation land and creates a larger, ecologically connected preserve on Site 1.
• All three sites lie within the Coastal High Hazard Area.
• A binding Development Agreement limits residential development to 20 units (all on Site 3) and restricts Site 2 to a maximum of 10,000 square feet of office space.
