3 Resolution # FLUM Amendment 1. Local Government Name: City of St. Petersburg 2. Amendment Number: 11-2ESR 3. Is the RPC precluded from commenting on the proposed plan or element pursuant to s (5). F.S., or Rule 9J , L.O.F.; or commenting on the proposed amendment pursuant to s (4)(b), F.S.? (YES) (NO) 4. Date DCA Notified RPC that Amendment Package was Complete, if Applicable: 5. Date Amendment Review must be Completed and Transmitted to DCA: 7/14/11 6. Date the Amendment Review was transmitted to DCA: 7. Description of the Amendment: Six (6) Map Amendment Areas located in different parts of the City, comprised of 185 parcels of land, totaling approximately 71 acres. The purpose of this City-initiated application is to amend the Future Land Use Map or the Future Land Use Map and Official Zoning Map designations for the parcels described herein. These amendments are being proposed for one of two reasons: 1) Amendment Areas 1 through 4 are areas of the City that were incorrectly designated in the October 2006 adoption of the Future Land Use Map and Official Zoning Map amendments that implemented the St. Pete Vision 2020 Plan and new Land Development Regulations (LDRs), thus are considered glitch amendments; and 2) The changes proposed in Amendment Areas 5 and 6 will further the City s economic development objectives and are considered appropriate based on expected future conditions, consistent with Resolution No , which established criteria for Cityinitiated amendments to the Future Land Use Map and Official Zoning Map. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS: The following is a summary of the proposed amendments. A series of maps for each of the six amendment areas is attached. Amendment Area #1 Amendment Area #1 is the Starling Day Care Center (a.k.a. Starling School and Star Camp), generally located at th Street South. As depicted on the attached map series, the request is to amend the Future Land Use Map designation from Industrial Limited (IL) to Residential/Office General (R/OG) and the Official Zoning Map designation from IT (Industrial Traditional) to CRS-1 (Corridor Residential Suburban-1). Prior to the City-wide rezoning in 2006 this parcel was designated R/OG, with GO (General Office) zoning. The City inadvertently/mistakenly designated the property with industrial designations, which rendered the existing child care facility non-conforming. The proposed R/OG Plan designation is consistent with the existing use of the property, like it was prior to The proposed CRS-1 zoning is compatible with the R/OG designation. The requested action will correct the City s mapping error. For Council meeting of August 8,

4 Amendment Area #2 Amendment Area #2 is comprised of 20 parcels of land generally located on the south side of Driftwood Road South in the Driftwood neighborhood, along Big Bayou. As depicted on the attached map series, the request is to amend the Future Land Use Map designation from Planned Redevelopment-Residential (PR- R) to Residential Low (RL). The City inadvertently/mistakenly designated the property PR-R. The correct designation is Residential Low, which is compatible with the underlying NS-2 (Neighborhood Suburban- 2) zoning for the 20 subject parcels. The NS-2 zoning reflects the larger (mostly waterfront) lots found in this area of the Driftwood neighborhood. All of the subject parcels are developed with a single family home. A Future Land Use Map amendment to Residential Low will correct the City s mapping error. Amendment Area #3 Amendment Area #3 is comprised of 161 parcels of land located in the Azalea Neighborhood, and generally bounded by Admiral Farragut Academy on the west, the Pinellas Trail on the east, 9 th Avenue North on the north and 5th Avenue North on the south. As depicted on the attached map series, the request is to amend the Future Land Use Map designation from Planned Redevelopment-Residential (PR-R) to Residential Urban (RU). The City inadvertently/mistakenly designated the property PR-R. The correct designation is Residential Urban, which is compatible with the underlying NT-3 (Neighborhood Traditional-3) zoning for the 161 subject parcels. The appropriateness of the Residential Urban designation is underscored by the fact that few of the properties are developed with accessory dwelling units, e.g., garage apartments, moreover, it is estimated that only six (6) percent of the homes utilize alleys. As shown on the attached map series, all of the parcels are developed with single family homes except for one, which is developed with a small apartment building. Finally, the requested Residential Urban designation is consistent (identical) to the designations found immediately north and south of the subject area. A Future Land Use Map amendment to Residential Urban will correct the City s mapping error. Amendment Area #4 Amendment Area #4 is a single family home generally located at th Street North. As depicted on the attached map series, the request is to amend the Future Land Use Map designation from Planned Redevelopment-Mixed Use (PR-MU) to Planned Redevelopment-Residential (PR-R). The City inadvertently/mistakenly designated the subject parcel PR-MU most likely due to the fact that the majority of the block is designated as such to accommodate the auto shop business. The correct designation is Planned Redevelopment-Residential (PR/R), which is compatible with the property s underlying NT-2 (Neighborhood Traditional-2) zoning. A Future Land Use Map amendment to Planned Redevelopment- Residential will correct the City s mapping error. Amendment Area #5 Amendment Area #5 is the former Dali Museum property generally located at rd Street South. The subject property has been conveyed by the City to the University of South Florida, Board of Trustees and will be incorporated into the University of South Florida, St. Petersburg (USFSP) campus. As depicted on the attached map series, the request is to amend the Future Land Use Map designation from Recreation/ Open Space (R/OS) and Activity Center (AC) to Institutional (I) and Activity Center (AC), and the Official Zoning Map designation from NSE (Neighborhood Suburban Estate) to IC (Institutional Center). As depicted on the attached map series, the proposed amendments pertain only to Lots 3 through 11 and all of 11 th Avenue South abutting Lot 11. While Lots 1 and 2 were also conveyed, they are subject to a conservation easement, thus it is appropriate that these lots retain the R/OS and NSE designations. The proposed designations are consistent with the designations on the balance of the 50 acre USFSP campus. For Council meeting of August 8,

5 Amendment Area #6 Amendment Area #6 is an estimated 20 acre, State-owned parcel generally located at nd Avenue North. As depicted on the attached map series, the request is to amend the Future Land Use Map designation from Institutional (I), Activity Center (AC) and Water Drainage Feature (W/DF) to Industrial Limited (IL), AC and W/DF. The underlying zoning for this parcel will remain EC (Employment Center). The subject property is presently developed with a satellite office of the Florida Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD), and three group homes operated by Sunrise Community, Inc. A total of 24 developmentally disabled adults reside in what Sunrise Community describes as their St. Petersburg Cluster, however there is no relationship between this residential operation and the Florida APD office. These existing uses are permitted under the EC zoning district regulations, thus an amendment from Institutional to Industrial Limited will not result in the creation of a grandfathered or non-conforming use. This amendment is consistent with the existing development pattern of the area and with the desired development efforts in the Gateway activity center. This action is being taken by the City to accommodate future (private) redevelopment opportunities, should the subject property ever become available for purchase. Description of Amendment: 8.

Approximately one-half of the parcels in Amendment Area #2 are partially within the CHHA. 18. Analysis of the effects of extra-jurisdictional impacts which may be created by the amendment: There are no extra-jurisdictional impacts as a result of the proposed amendment.
