Recommended Action
Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 26-03, a proposal by the City of Largo to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Public/Semi-Public to Residential Low Medium, regarding 0.45 acre more or less, located at 3470 Adrian Avenue.
• The property has historically supported institutional uses, including a church and daycare, and currently contains an aging structure proposed for demolition as well as an existing municipal lift station within a recorded easement.
• The applicant intends to subdivide the parcel into two residential lots and construct two detached single-family dwellings, a use that is not permitted under the current Countywide Plan Map designation.
• From a countywide perspective, the proposed amendment represents a logical and supportable amendment to the Countywide Plan Map.
• The Residential Low Medium designation aligns with the surrounding pattern of Residential Low and Residential Medium uses and functions as an appropriate transition between existing residential neighborhoods and nearby institutional and commercial uses.
• The amendment reduces allowable development intensity compared to the existing designation, lowering both density and impervious surface potential, and does not introduce uses that would adversely affect countywide infrastructure or services.
• By facilitating compatible residential infill on an underutilized site, the amendment advances Countywide Plan Strategies for coordinated growth, efficient use of land, and consistency between local land use decisions and the Countywide Plan Map.
• Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each unanimously recommended approval of the proposal.
