Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 20-17, a proposal by the City of Pinellas Park to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Retail and Services to Employment, regarding 2.19 acres more or less, located at 12575 U.S. Highway 19 North.
• The subject property is currently used as a contractor shop.
• The purpose of the proposed amendment is to allow outdoor storage on the property.
• While outdoor storage is an allowable use under the Countywide Retail & Services category, it is limited to an accessory use and 35 percent of lot coverage under the local zoning category.
• The change of the local category to Industrial Limited, which corresponds to the Countywide Employment category, would allow outdoor storage as a primary use.
• This amendment would bring the parcel into compliance as it is being utilized currently.
• Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each voted unanimously to recommend approval of this proposal.
