Summary:
The subject property of this case is the former location of the Golden Lantern Mobile Home Park located at 7950 Park Boulevard. The active Development Agreement allows the property to be developed with certain retail commercial uses, mandates certain buffers, screening and other requirements aimed at minimizing the potential impacts of the once proposed commercial uses to the neighboring residential area, and requires certain transportation improvements. The Board approved the Development Agreement in 2011 but no development activity has commenced and the property remains vacant. The approval is good for 10 years and won’t expire until 2021.
The reason for the termination request stems from the property’s annexation by the City of Pinellas Park earlier this year. The applicant wishes to terminate the Agreement to free the property from its obligations, which will provide flexibility for other development options. The future development of the property will be under Pinellas Park’s codes and regulations.
