Summary:
The subject property is designated Residential Suburban on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and is zoned A-E, Agricultural Estate Residential. The site contains two parcels, each having a single family residence. The existing A-E zoning district requires a minimum lot size of two acres. The applicant is requesting a zoning change to R-1, Single Family Residential, which requires a minimum lot size of 9,500 square feet.
The subject property’s Residential Suburban FLUM designation will limit the maximum density to 2.5 units per acre. The contract purchaser of the property wishes to subdivide it into single family detached lots. As with any case, the ultimate number of buildable housing units is subject to site-specific constraints and is determined during site plan review. Site development issues such as access and drainage are not handled during the zoning amendment process.
The subject property is adjacent to existing single-family residential subdivisions to the north and west that are subject to a maximum density of five units per acre. The vacant 15-acre property to the south is owned by the Pinellas County School Board, for which there are no immediate plans for development.
The area to the east consists of large lot properties developed with single family homes. The zoning amendment request to R-1 continues a gradual change in the area from large lot residential development to single family subdivisions.
It is staff’s conclusion that the proposed R-1 zoning district is generally compatible with nearby land uses and the surrounding development pattern. The proposal is consistent with the Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan and is appropriate for this location.
Background Information:
The Local Planning Agency (LPA) recommended approval of the request during its October 13, 2016 public hearing (Vote 4-0).
