Recommended Action
Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, conduct a public hearing and defer action for this case until April 9, 2019 to allow the City of Largo to take official action on the alternative compromise amendment to the Resort category for 1.2 acres of property (the uplands portion currently designated as Recreation/Open Space on the Countywide Plan Map).
• The subject property is 4.6 acres in size and includes the Cove Cay Marina and a substantial area of submerged land.
• The western portion of the property is designated as Resort on the Countywide Plan Map.
• The eastern portion of the property (1.2 acres of uplands) is designated as Recreation/Open Space on the Countywide Plan Map.
• The remaining property is submerged land and has no designation on the Countywide Plan Map.
• Forward Pinellas, Pinellas County, and the City of Largo have determined that the amendment as proposed would not adequately recognize the submerged land, and developed an alternative compromise recommendation.
• Forward Pinellas has referred this case back to the City of Largo for action on the alternative compromise recommendation.
• Once the City of Largo has acted on the alternative compromise recommendation, the Countywide Planning Authority will take action on this future land use amendment.
