Summary:
The subject property is designated Commercial General (CG) on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and is zoned C-1, Neighborhood Commercial. The site currently contains a thrift store business. The owner of the subject property wishes to use the existing building for an auto repair business which is not a permitted use in the C-1 zoning district. The requested C-2 district allows the proposed use when conducted within an enclosed building.
The subject property fronts Seminole Boulevard and is adjacent to a mixture of commercial and office uses to the north and south, as well as across Seminole Boulevard to the east. The subject property is adjacent to a single-family residential subdivision to the west. The Seminole Boulevard corridor in this area contains mostly commercial uses with more intensive uses. This proposed amendment can be considered consistent and compatible with the surrounding uses. The adjacent municipality of Seminole has indicated no objection to the proposal.
In summary, the requested zoning amendment to C-2 will provide additional commercial opportunities for redevelopment and is compatible with the surrounding land uses and development pattern along the Seminole Boulevard corridor, which is considered a principal arterial. Since a business is currently operating on the site additional impacts to infrastructure are not anticipated. The proposal is consistent with the Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan and is appropriate for this location.
Background Information:
The Local Planning Agency recommended approval of the request during its July 12, 2018 public hearing (vote 5-0).
In accordance with Section 134-337 of the Pinellas County Land Development Code, mailed notices of the public hearings were provided to property owners (as determined by Pinellas County Property Appraiser records) within 400 feet of the subject property.
