Recommended Action

Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 26-05, a proposal by the City of Largo to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Activity Center, Residential Low Medium, Residential Medium, Retail & Services, Office, Employment, Public/Semi-Public, and Recreation/Open Space to Activity Center, regarding 540 acres more or less, generally located along Clearwater-Largo Road between Belleair Road and Rosery Road, including portions of Alternate U.S. Highway 19 and surrounding properties.

 

                     The amendment expands and consolidates the existing Clearwater-Largo Road Activity Center and establishes a unified framework to guide redevelopment within the corridor.

                     The amendment includes two primary components: (1) the expansion of the existing Activity Center boundary to incorporate approximately 284 additional acres, and (2) updates to the City’s local land use framework through revised character districts and development standards within the Clearwater-Largo Road Community Redevelopment District.

                     The proposed mixed-use corridors, residential, and flex employment character districts establish a new range of densities, intensities, and development bonus program for this area.

                     Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each unanimously recommended approval of the proposal.
