Recommended Action
Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 20-10, a proposal by the City of Clearwater, to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Residential Low Medium, Retail and Services, Recreation/Open Space and Preservation to Multimodal Corridor and Preservation, regarding 26.3 acres more or less, located at 24323 and 24479 U.S. Highway 19 North.
• The proposed amendment will bring a recently annexed parcel into the designated U.S. Highway 19 North Multimodal Corridor.
• The subject area is an unincorporated enclave that has been included in the planning area for the City’s U.S. Highway 19 North Corridor Redevelopment Plan since its adoption in 2012.
• The majority of the subject area is a former mobile home park that was closed in 2019 following repeated health and safety violations, and which has remained vacant since its closure. The remainder of the subject area includes an indoor recreation business and vehicle storage.
• The subject area is appropriate for designation with the Multimodal Corridor category and is consistent with the criteria for utilization of this category.
• The proposed amendment has addressed the Planning and Urban Design Principles required for utilization of the Multimodal Corridor category.
• The proposed amendment either does not involve, or will not significantly impact, the remaining relevant countywide considerations.
• Forward Pinellas, in its role as the Pinellas Planning Council, voted 13-0 to recommend approval of the proposal.
• The Planners Advisory Committee recommended approval of the case by a vote of 14-0.
