Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case CW 23-06, a proposal by the City of Tarpon Springs to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Residential Medium to Public/Semi-Public, regarding 1.06 acres more or less, located at 200 Dixie Highway.
• The subject property has a sewer lift station, water injection well, paved areas, and buildings that are used by the City of Tarpon Springs Utilities Department as workshops, offices, and storage. The city has owned and utilized this property to support their public utility operations since 1985 and plans to do so for the foreseeable future.
• The Countywide Rules classifies these existing uses as “Transportation/Utility.” While the current Residential Medium category permits these uses up to a 3-acre maximum, the local future land use category does not, triggering a Countywide Plan Map amendment to Public/Semi-Public.
• Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposal.
