Summary:
The subject area is a 0.25-acre parcel located at 11805 104th Street North in the unincorporated area of Largo. The site is currently vacant. The proposed use is a stormwater treatment facility, including an 800 square foot block building, various tanks, pumps and other related stormwater treatment equipment. The equipment within the building will be used to inject Alum (Aluminum Sulfate) into the nearby canal to reduce stormwater pollutants prior to entering Lake Seminole. There will be no odor associated with this process and the pumps are quiet and well contained.
The site is zoned R-3, Single Family Residential, and is designed Residential Urban (RU) and Commercial Recreation (CR) on the Pinellas County Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The Pinellas County Land Development Code requires utility stations and other government buildings and public uses located in residential zoning districts to obtain conditional use approval.
The surrounding area contains a mix of residential and recreation-related uses. Like the subject site, all surrounding properties are zoned R-3. Those to the north and west contain single family residences. A recreation center (Orange Lake Civic Center) exists to the south and east. Pinellas County purchased the land in 2014 from the adjacent recreation center. The project is outlined in the Lake Seminole Watershed Management Plan.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed conditional use as the request serves an important public purpose and meets the General Standards of Section 138-269 of the Pinellas County Land Development Code regarding conditional uses.
Background Information:
The Local Planning Agency (LPA) recommended approval of the request subject to the staff recommended conditions during its September 15, 2016 public hearing (Vote 5-0).
