City of Pinellas Park City Council Meeting | June 23, 2026

The City of Pinellas Park held a City Council meeting on June 23, 2026, which included public hearings and discussions primarily focused on land use and annexation related to a proposed data center. The council considered ordinances for annexing a parcel of land at 6868 118th Avenue North and changing its future land use designation to industrial limited, with associated zoning changes and fee waivers to incentivize annexation. Public comments expressed significant community concern about the environmental, health, and infrastructure impacts of data centers, including water consumption, air pollution, noise pollution, and strain on the power grid. The council also approved a mid-year budget amendment increasing the fiscal budget by over $21 million, allocating funds for capital improvement projects such as property acquisition, park renovations, water tower demolition, and sewer line rehabilitation. Additionally, an ordinance was introduced to allow communication towers as a primary use on transportation utility land, subject to conditional approval. Motions to approve ordinances related to annexation, budget amendments, and zoning changes were passed unanimously. The meeting reflected active community engagement on procurement and development issues affecting the city’s infrastructure and environment.
