Recommended Action
Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 25-08, a proposal by the City of Clearwater, to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Retail & Services to Public/Semi-Public, regarding 0.70 acres more or less, located at 2201 Main Street.
• The parcel previously in Dunedin and later unincorporated Pinellas County, has recently been annexed into Clearwater to unify jurisdiction, local Future Land Use and municipal services.
• The proposed Public/Semi-Public category would support the institutional use of the parcel as a parking area for the new freestanding Emergency Room for Largo Medical Center.
• The amendment aligns with Countywide Rules, preserves Scenic/Noncommercial Corridor character and provides jurisdictional and utility service consistency following annexation into Clearwater.
• Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each voted unanimously to recommend approval.
