Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 25-04, a proposal by the City of Treasure Island to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Residential Medium to Recreation/Open Space, regarding 0.256 acre more or less, located at the northeast corner of 112th Avenue A and 13th Street East.
• The subject parcels are owned by the City of Treasure Island and have long functioned as part of Isle of Palms Park, also known as “Triangle Park.”
• The City acquired the parcels in 2018 with financial assistance from the Florida Communities Trust (FCT). As a condition of the FCT grant, the properties must be maintained in perpetuity for conservation, open space, or outdoor recreation uses.
• The proposed Recreation/Open Space category ensures consistency between the grant agreement, the existing public use of the property, and the City’s Comprehensive Plan and creates consistency across all three parcels that comprise the Isle of Palms Park.
• This amendment aligns with Countywide Plan goals for protecting recreational and open space resources and does not increase density or intensity on the parcels.
• Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each unanimously recommended approval of the proposal.
