Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 21-03, a proposal by the City of Tarpon Springs to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Resort to Residential Low Medium, regarding 8.61 acres more or less, located approximately 400 feet southwest of the intersection of Anclote Road and Marina Drive.
• The amendment includes 19 lots on Marina Drive, which are part of an existing single-family detached residential subdivision.
• The Countywide Plan Map designates this subdivision as Resort, and the amendment area is inconsistent with the current use of the subject properties as single-family residential homes.
• The neighborhood association initiated this map amendment after they were informed of this inconsistency.
• The proposed category of Residential Low Medium is consistent with the existing single-family residential neighborhood.
• The subdivision is located in the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA); however, the amendment will reduce the allowable residential density thereby negating any impacts to the CHHA.
• Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each voted unanimously to recommend approval of this proposal.
