PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE PINELLAS COUNTY FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND ZONING ATLAS 1. APPLICATION OF SCHOOL BOARD OF PINELLAS COUNTY THROUGH KATIE E. COLE, REPRESENTATIVE, FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM A-E, AGRICULTURAL ESTATE RESIDENTIAL, TO R-5-CO, URBAN RESIDENTIAL- CONDITIONAL OVERLAY, WITH THE CONDITIONAL OVERLAY LIMITING THE USE TO SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES AND THEIR CUSTOMARY ACCESSORY USES (Z-15-12-17) CASE WITHDRAWN Chairman Kardash referred to the application of the School Board of Pinellas County through Katie E. Cole for the above change in zoning, re approximately 7.52 acres located at the southwest corner of 15th Street and Virginia Avenue in Palm Harbor (Z-15-12-17) and reported that the case has been withdrawn. Chairman Kardash indicated that even though the item has been withdrawn, those in the audience who wish to speak should be permitted to do so; whereupon, in response to her call for persons wishing to be heard, Gaynes Holdway, Palm Harbor, appeared, stated his concerns, and responded to comments and queries by the members. Mr. Holdway stated that the community is against the proposed type of development; that over 875 signatures had been collected on the change.org website in opposition to the zoning change; and that many residents were not notified; whereupon, he inquired as to what would happen in the future if the developer reapplies for a zoning change. In response to query by Chairman Kardash, Mr. Bailey related that County Code requires notification of residents within a 200-foot radius of the property; and that notice would be posted on the property, in the newspaper, and on the County website. 2
December 14, 2017 2. APPLICATION OF PINELLAS COUNTY THROUGH RANDI PAPPAS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM PC, PRESERVATION/CONSERVATION, TO R-3, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, AND A LAND USE CHANGE FROM RECREATION/OPEN SPACE TO RESIDENTIAL LOW (Z/LU-16-12-17) RECOMMEND APPROVAL AS PER STAFF RECOMMENDATION Public hearing was held on the application of Pinellas County through Randi Pappas for the above changes in zoning and land use (Z/LU-16-12-17), re approximately 0.25 acre located 200 feet north of the northeast corner of Pine Street and Wilcox Road in the unincorporated Largo area. Mr. Bailey referred to the zoning and land use map, pointed out the location of the subject property, and discussed surrounding land uses, relating that the area is mainly residential. He noted that the land use on the subject property was inadvertently changed to Recreation/Open Space in 2009, but the intended use of the property was to be Residential Low, with an R-3 zoning designation for development of a single family home. Bruce Bussey, Pinellas County Community Development Department, referred to a map of the Dansville Community and stated that 70 parcels in the area are owned by Pinellas County; that of the parcels designated for single family housing development, nine have been developed by Habitat for Humanity over the past year and a half, and four are currently being worked on; and that a Request for Proposals has been issued for development of the remaining 46 parcels. In response to query by Mr. Bucolo, Mr. Bussey indicated that most of the properties were purchased with Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds; and that some of the proceeds from their sale are considered program income and would be returned to the grant account for investment in other CDBG eligible projects, and brief discussion ensued. No one appeared in response to the Chairman s call for proponents of or opponents to the application. Thereupon, Mr. Wikle moved, seconded by Mr. Schultz, that the Board recommend approval of the application to the BCC in accordance with the staff recommendation, and upon call for the vote, the motion carried unanimously. 3
December 14, 2017 3. APPLICATION OF PINELLAS COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT THROUGH RANDI PAPPAS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, FOR A ZONING CHANGE FROM PC, PRESERVATION/CONSERVATION, TO RBR, RESOURCE-BASED RECREATION (Z-17-12-17) RECOMMEND APPROVAL AS PER STAFF RECOMMENDATION Public hearing was held on the application of Pinellas County through Randi Pappas for the above change in zoning (Z-17-12-17), re approximately 12.4 acres located on the north side of Wilcox Road between Jackson Street and Pine Street in the unincorporated Largo area. Mr. Bailey referred to the zoning and land use map, pointed out the location of the subject property in the Ridgecrest/Dansville area, and discussed surrounding land uses, noting that the property is currently an open space and houses a retention pond for a development in the area. He indicated that the current Preservation/Conservation zoning allows for stormwater management, wildlife management, environmental education, and nature trails; that a change to Resource-Based Recreation would allow amenities such as picnic shelters, community gardens, and playgrounds to be incorporated; and that both districts are consistent with the current Recreation/Open Space land use category, so the parcel is not available for single family or commercial uses. Mr. Bailey related that the current designation was placed on the site in 2009 and, at the time, was the most appropriate zoning designation available, as Resource-Based Recreation was created and adopted by the BCC at a later date. Responding to comments and queries by the members, Bruce Bussey, Pinellas County Community Development Department, related that there are no firm plans for the site; that community outreach will be conducted; that the area is not currently accessible to the public as it is fenced off; and that it would be used for passive-type recreation. In response to the Chairman s call for persons wishing to be heard, the following individuals stated their support and/or concerns, and Mr. Bailey responded to their inquiries: Vernon Bryant, Largo, representing Friends of Ridgecrest Veronica List, Largo Olga Tserper, Largo No one appeared in response to the Chairman s call for opponents to the application. 4
December 14, 2017 Thereupon, Mr. Figurski moved, seconded by Mr. Bucolo, that the Board recommend approval of the application for the BCC in accordance with the staff recommendation, and upon call for the vote, the motion carried unanimously. DISCUSSION ON THE PINELLAS COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE PROCESS Principal Planner Rebecca Stonefield discussed the process that the Planning Department will be undertaking to update the County Comprehensive Plan. She provided background information, indicating that the last update was completed in 2008; that the Plan currently has over 1,100 policies; that the County will continue to experience changing demographics and will have to work to address those needs; and that the focus is now on redevelopment rather than new development. Noting that the Comprehensive Plan should be easy to understand and navigate, Ms. Stonefield stated that the updated Plan will be more user-friendly; that it will be easier to implement; and that regulatory language will be eliminated, as it is primarily a policy document. Ms. Stonefield stated that the Planning Department is working with the University of Florida to conduct a complete review of all the Goals, Objectives, and Policies in the plan and to eliminate language that may be repetitive; and that the next phase will be to establish the Vision Element and Guiding Principles for moving forward; whereupon, she reviewed a document titled Guiding Principles Intent & Purpose, a copy of which has been filed and made a part of the record. Following discussion and in response to query by Mr. Bucolo as to the timeline for public input and project completion, Ms. Stonefield stated that policy consolidation is currently underway and expected to be completed by spring 2018; that meetings with the community and online surveys will be conducted for a few months during spring 2018; and that the project itself is expected to be a multi-year process. ADJOURNMENT Chairman Kardash noted that the Chairman and Vice-Chairman will be selected at the January meeting; and that she will be unable to attend and the Vice-Chairman will preside; whereupon, she thanked the members for the opportunity to serve as Chairman for the past two years. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:54 A.M. Chairman 5

A request for a second amendment of a previously approved Development Agreement to extend the duration of the Development Agreement for an additional five-year term, to provide additional time for the development of 71 multi-family residential units in four 6-story buildings with a building height up to 74 feet from finished floor elevation on Parcel A of the Feather Sound Golf Community.
LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY (LPA) STAFF REPORT Case Number: DA-02-01-18 LPA Public Hearing: January 11, 2018 Applicant: Premier Club Holdings, LLC Representative: Shane Crawford Subject Property: 6.4 acres; 2201 Feather Sound Drive (clubhouse area) PARCEL ID(S): 02/30/16/00000/420/0100 & 12-28-15-00000-220-0100 REQUEST: Second amendment of a previously approved Development Agreement to extend the duration of the Development Agreement for an additional five-year term, to provide additional time for the development of 71 multi-family residential units in four 6-story buildings with a building height up to 74 feet from finished floor elevation on Parcel A of the Feather Sound Golf Community. LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY (LPA) RECOMMENDATION: PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the LPA find the proposed Development Agreement amendment consistent with the Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan, based on this report. Staff further recommends that the LPA recommend approval of the proposed Development Agreement amendment to the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners. SUMMARY REPORT The Planning Review Committee (PRC) reviewed this application on December 11, 2017. The PRC Staff summary discussion and analysis follows: The site of the five year extension request for the previously approved Development Agreement for Case # LU-4-12-07 is the current location of a clubhouse (Parcel A) within the Feather Sound Master Plan.
Page 2 Case #LU-4-15-07 amended the Pinellas County Future Land Use Map (FLUM) on this parcel from Commercial Recreation (CR) to Residential Low (RL), and the associated Development Agreement allows Parcel A (6.4 acres) to be developed with 71 condominium units, tennis courts and parking. The Development Agreement was not acted upon within the previously-approved time frames due to economic conditions and changes in ownership. The Development Agreement also involved two additional parcels within the Feather Sound Master Plan, identified as Parcel B and C. Parcels B and C are designated Residential Low Medium () on the FLUM and are vacant. Although Case #LU-4-12-07 did not change the FLUM designation on Parcels B and C, the applicant proposed to average the density among parcels A, B, and C to place the 71 proposed residential units on Parcel A. As stipulated in the Development Agreement, the applicant will relinquish all other remaining development rights on Parcels B and C. In addition, the amendment included a request to use the residential parking as overflow/shared parking for a new clubhouse, which was proposed to be built to the west of the site. The clubhouse area was not subject to the FLUM amendment. If the request for an additional five-year extension is approved, the Development Agreement will be valid until 2023. SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USE FACTS: Land Use Category Zoning District Existing Use Subject Property: Residential Low Clubhouse Adjacent Properties: North Residential Low Medium Recreation/Open Space Golf Course, Villas East Recreation/Open Space Golf Course South Residential Low Medium Mixed Residential West Residential Low Medium Recreation/Open Space Golf Course, Villas IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PINELLAS COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Staff finds that the proposed amendment is consistent with the following adopted objectives and policies of the Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan: FUTURE LAND USE AND QUALITY COMMUNITIES ELEMENT GOAL ONE: The pattern of land use in Pinellas County shall provide a variety of urban environments to meet the needs of a diverse population and the local economy, conserve and limit demands on natural and economic resources to ensure sustainable built and natural environments, be in the overall public interest, and effectively serve the community and environmental needs of the population. Objective 1.2: Establish development regulations that respond to the challenges of a mature urban county with established communities that are experiencing infill development and redevelopment activity.
Page 3 Policy 1.2.3: Objective 1.9: Policy 3.2.3: Plan designations on the Future Land Use Map shall be compatible with the natural environment, support facilities and services, and the land uses in the surrounding area. Through the application of innovative land development regulations the County will support planned residential developments and mixed land use development techniques which include intensity and use characteristics designed to make these developments more livable and compatible with the natural environment. Pinellas County shall continue to use a variety of methods for protecting the County s open space areas and natural resources (including wetlands) which include, but are not limited to, the acquisition of open space and environmentally sensitive areas, allowing the Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs), density averaging, and requiring upland buffers adjacent to wetlands and other natural environments identified by Pinellas County.
