The City of Pinellas Park proposes to amend the permitted density, intensity and uses on a parcel located within the Activity Center governed by the Pinellas Park Community Redevelopment Plan, providing for: an increase in the maximum permitted density from 12.5 to 24 dwelling units per acre; a decrease in the maximum permitted floor area ratio from 0.65 to 0.55; and a change in permitted uses from predominantly institutional to predominantly commercial in nature.
This proposed amendment is submitted by the City of Pinellas Park and seeks to amend a property totaling approximately 1.7 acres under the Activity Center designation (used to recognize those areas of the county that have been identified and planned for in a special and detailed manner, serve as identifiable centers of business, public, and residential activity that are the focal point of a community, and are served by enhanced transit commensurate with the type, scale, and intensity of use).
The property is currently vacant, and is proposed to become an expansion to the existing automotive dealer (Crown Honda) to the north.
