April 7, 2026Board of County Commissioners Hybrid In-Person and Virtual Regular Meeting Agenda PUBLIC HEARINGS AUTHORITIES, BOARDS, CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS AND COUNCILS Countywide Planning Authority 5. Case No. CW 26-04 - Pinellas County Countywide Plan Map amendment from Residential Low Medium to Employment, regarding 3.49 acres more or less, located at 5200 62nd Avenue North. 26-0427A Sitting as the Countywide Planning Authority, adopt an ordinance approving Case No. 26-04, a proposal by Pinellas County to amend the Countywide Plan Map from Residential Low Medium to Employment, regarding 3.49 acres more or less, located at 5200 62nd Avenue North. · The proposed Countywide Plan Map amendment from Residential Low Medium to Employment transitions a vacant 3.49 -acre parcel within the Lealman Community Redevelopment Area to a category that supports economic redevelopment and employment clustering. · The site fronts 62nd Avenue North, a minor arterial roadway, and is surrounded by established nonresidential uses, including medical offices, hospital facilities, industrial, and utility uses. · The Employment category aligns with the existing development pattern and advances the Countywide Plan’s target employment strategy by promoting job-supportive land uses in an area targeted for reinvestment. · The amendment also removes the potential for residential development within a flood hazard area, further supporting sound land use planning principles. · The proposed amendment increases allowable intensity within an underperforming Multimodal Accessibility Index grid cell; however, the amendment qualifies for approval based on its location within the adopted Lealman Community Redevelopment Area and its contribution to economic growth and redevelopment objectives identified in the local Community Redevelopment Plan. · Forward Pinellas and the Planners Advisory Committee each unanimously recommended approval of the proposal.

April 7, 2026Board of County Commissioners Hybrid In-Person and Virtual Regular Meeting Agenda BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 6. Ordinance to revoke Ordinance No. 2020-31, repealing ordinance for Jabil, Inc. Phase I Ad Valorem Tax Exemption and providing a process to dissolve the related Performance Agreement, including authorization for the County Administrator to execute all necessary documents. 26-0243A Adopt an ordinance revoking Ordinance No. 2020-31 which granted Jabil, Inc. a Phase I Ad Valorem Tax Exemption (ADVTE). · The action to revoke Ordinance No. 2020-31, is a technical formality necessitated by the structure of ad valorem tax exemptions. The exemptions are tied to a specific address, rather than the company as a whole. · Jabil’s exemption was established under Resolution 2018-15 as a three-phased plan. Phase 1 (covered by this Ordinance) included a performance agreement requiring a specific number of jobs and wage levels at that one location. Jabil successfully met these requirements under Phase 1 for the first two years. · Jabil’s leadership proactively contacted PCED staff to explain that their business model at that specific address has changed. Because they will no longer meet the site-specific requirements for Phase 1, they voluntarily requested that the County revoke the Ordinance. This ensures that their tax status remains in full compliance with the program’s rules. As a result, Jabil will repay the exemptions for that site, with the final amount calculated by the Pinellas County Property Appraiser. The amount is estimated to be in the range of $18,000 - $28,000. · While this one specific exemption is ending, Jabil’s overall footprint in Pinellas has grown significantly. The company invested in two new facilities in Pinellas County which have created more than 1,000 full-time jobs. They are also working with Pinellas County Economic Development on a third facility. · Funding for repayment of any applicable ad valorem taxes is not included in the Fiscal Year 2026 budget.
