Summary:
Three items have been brought forward by local governments for potential amendments to the Countywide Rules. They concern Target Employment Centers, Transferable Development Rights, and Temporary Lodging Intensity Standards.
The Pinellas Planning Council advertised and held a public hearing on February 10, 2016. At the public hearing, the Council voted 11-0 to adopt Resolution 16-1, recommending the Countywide Planning Authority amend the Countywide Rules as set forth in the attached ordinance. County staff concurs with the Council recommendation. An amendment to the Countywide Rules requires two public hearings by the Countywide Planning Authority, with at least one of the hearings held in the evening. This is the first of the two public hearings. The second public hearing is scheduled for May 24, 2016 at 6:00 p.m.
The Board of County Commissioners authorized these public hearings at its March 15, 2016 meeting.
