Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 23-05, a proposal by the City of Pinellas Park to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Retail and Services to Employment, regarding 12.9 acres more or less, located at 10601 U.S. Highway 19 North.
• The current use of the property is considered a general warehouse use and the applicant desires to utilize 187,327 square feet of the site for outdoor storage uses while maintaining the 125,460 square foot general warehouse use.
• The current Retail and Services category permits the warehouse and storage uses but limits the storage area to twenty percent of the area of the building to which it is accessory. In this case, the proposed storage area exceeds the twenty percent limitation and is not accessory to the primary general warehouse use.
• The proposed Employment category also permits the warehouse and storage uses but does not require this use to be accessory to the primary use or limit the size of the storage area.
• Therefore, the proposed use of the property requires a local future land use map amendment to Industrial Limited, triggering a corresponding Countywide Plan Map amendment to Employment.
• Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposal.
