Any submitted concept plans are not binding. · The staff recommendation of denial is based upon the requested RM land use category being inconsistent with the surrounding area, resulting in an isolated 0.21-acre parcel having a maximum allowable density that is double that of adjacent properties. · The Local Planning Agency recommended approval of the request (vote 4-2), primarily noting interest in revitalizing the subject property. Two people from the public appeared and spoke in opposition, citing concerns of increased density and parking problems. Recommendation: Page 26Pinellas County Printed on 5/8/2025
