Recommended Action
Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. CW 23-01, a proposal by the City of St. Petersburg to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Public/Semi-Public to Residential Low Medium, regarding 4.4 acres more or less, located at 2624, 2642, 2702, 2710, 2714, 2720, and 2730 Union St. and ---Lakewood Estates Section H, Block B, Lots 6-11 and Block C Lots 6-12 and Lots 20-26.
• The amendment area consists of 2 separate tracts of land with 9 different parcels and ownerships.
• The 4.4-acre amendment area was previously part of a larger 7.5-acre parent parcel, formerly owned by the Diocese of St. Petersburg. In 2008, the Diocese sold 4.1 acres of this amendment area.
• The additional 0.3 acres of the amendment area was bought by Greater YMCA of St. Petersburg in 2014, but then sold in 2018, upon which it was converted into a single-family residence.
• The property currently consists of the aforementioned single-family residence but is otherwise primarily vacant.
• It is the intent of the applicant to allow for the development of single-family homes on the entirety of the amendment area.
• As the city’s local future land use category of Institutional only allows for residential as an accessory use, a future land use amendment to the Residential Urban category is required, hence the proposed amendment to the corresponding Countywide Plan Map category of Residential Low Medium.
• Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each unanimously recommended approval of the proposal.
