Background Information:
This proposed amendment is submitted by the City of Pinellas Park and seeks to amend a property totaling approximately 1.4 acres from RLM (used to depict areas that are primarily well-suited for suburban, low density or moderately dense residential uses at a maximum density of 10 dwelling units per acre) to P/SP (intended to recognize institutional and transportation/utility uses that serve the community or region, especially larger facilities having acreage exceeding the thresholds established in other plan categories, and which are consistent with the need, character, and scale of such uses relative to the surrounding uses, transportation facilities, and natural resource features). This amendment qualifies as a Type A subthreshold amendment because it is less than 10 acres in size and meets the balancing criteria.
The subject property is vacant. The proposed use is overflow parking for the Youth Park located to the south. If approved, this amendment will be consistent with the Pinellas Park Comprehensive Plan.
