Recommended Action
Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 20-05, a proposal by the City of Tarpon Springs, to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Activity Center to Activity Center, regarding 1.46 acres more or less, located at the northwest corner of North Safford Avenue and East Live Oak Street.
• The subject property’s designation on the Countywide Plan Map will remain Activity Center.
• This Activity Center is governed by the Sponge Docks and Community Redevelopment Area Special Area Plan, as adopted through the Countywide Plan Map amendment process in 2010.
• The Countywide Plan requires the Planning and Urban Design Principles be formally addressed through the Tier II amendment process for this Activity Center since its adoption pre-dated the 2015 Countywide Plan update.
• The subject property is currently vacant, and the requested action would enable a townhome development to be constructed.
• The proposed amendment will change the local zoning designation of a parcel within the Activity Center from T5d to T4c to allow for additional uses to include townhomes.
• Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each voted unanimously to recommend approval of this proposal.
