Local Planning Agency 5-13-26

The Pinellas County Local Planning Agency held a public hearing on May 13, 2026, to review proposed amendments to the county's future land use map and zoning atlas, specifically concerning a 2.69-acre property at 2577 Keystone Road in East Lake Tarpon. The key procurement-related discussion involved a land use change from residential rural to institutional and a zoning amendment from residential agricultural to limited institutional with a conditional overlay. This overlay restricts the property to a community assembly facility with accessory storage, limits floor area and impervious surface ratios, and imposes access and landscaping requirements. The agency unanimously approved the recommendations to forward these changes to the Board of County Commissioners for final decision. Additionally, staff announced plans to transition from paper agendas to electronic tablets to improve cost-efficiency and meeting effectiveness. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed during this meeting.
