Recommended Action
Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 24-01, a proposal by the City of Clearwater to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Residential Low Medium to Public/Semi-Public, regarding 0.54 of an acre more or less, located at 210 Meadow Lark Lane in Clearwater.
• This case involves two parcels totaling 0.540-acres located on the west side of Meadow Lark Lane approximately 820 feet north of Gulf to Bay Boulevard.
• The properties are owned by First Baptist Church of Clearwater, Inc. and are currently vacant.
• The applicant is requesting the proposed amendment to use the site as a softball field for Calvary Christian High School.
• The parcels are within Pinellas County’s jurisdiction, and the applicant has submitted a Petition for Annexation (ANX2023-06007) into the City of Clearwater. This separate application is being processed concurrently with this map amendment.
• As Calvary Christian High School’s athletic facilities have expanded over time, properties have been annexed and incorporated into the main parcel, future land use and zoning amendments have been approved to ensure the overall property would have a consistent institutional designation.
• An amendment to the Countywide Plan Map is therefore required to bring consistency between the City’s Future Land Use Map and the Countywide Plan Map.
