Recommended Action
Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, accept the Countywide Plan Map adjustment submitted by the City of Clearwater.
• The City of Clearwater is requesting a map adjustment to a property located at 1176 Mandalay Point.
• The subject property includes 1.7 acres, of which 0.6 acres are currently designated Preservation, 0.5 acres are Residential Low Medium, and 0.6 acres are submerged land. A total of 0.15 acres is requested to be adjusted from Preservation to Residential Low Medium.
• The proposed adjustment will correct a mapping inconsistency from 1995, in which the Preservation category designated on the beachfront was also erroneously applied landward of the seawall, overlapping an area designated for residential use on the City’s zoning map, and which contains existing residential development.
• The issue was identified when the owner submitted an application to the City to construct a new detached dwelling. A survey obtained as part of that application process shows the location of the seawall and the area to be adjusted.
• The Countywide Rules allow for these minor adjustments when it involves Preservation and/or Recreation/Open Space.
• As a supplemental recommendation, it is advised that the City research the adjacent parcels and pursue adjustment of related mapping inconsistencies.
• Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each unanimously recommended official acceptance of this map adjustment.
