Recommended Action
Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 24-14, a proposal by Pinellas County to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Residential Low Medium to Retail and Services, regarding 0.15 acre more or less, located at 2520 55th Avenue North.
• This amendment will facilitate the property's transition from a single-family residence to a commercial office. The change supports an adaptive reuse of the property that aligns with the surrounding commercial and mixed-use environment, accommodating the applicant’s adjacent business operations.
• By designating the property as Retail and Services, a more cohesive development approach and better integration of the site into the commercial landscape is enabled.
• This change will drive long-term growth and development in the area, reflecting the need for a unified commercial land use consistent with nearby properties.
• Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each unanimously recommended approval of the proposal.
