IMPORTANT Notice: Upcoming land use meeting Ozona/Crystal Beach
Our Commissioners need your input.
Dear Community, IMPORTANT NOTICE !!!!
The County is having a Zoning Meeting next Wednesday (June 13) at 9am ( In the Assembly Room, 315 Court Street, 5th floor, Clearwater ) to determine if the parcel of land : Z/LU-12-06-18 between Sutherland Bayou Boat Ramp and Missouri Ave. can change its current zoning from Residential, which allows for up to 25 homes on the parcel, to Light Manufacturing and Industrial, which would allow for the building of a large Storage Facility.
Bayou Development Inc. is going to build a 3-story, 40-foot high, 125,000 square foot Self Storage facility there.
If your not familiar with the parcel, it is the undeveloped land just south on the west side of Alt 19, next to where the boats are stored.
This gigantic building would for ever change the "small town community" feel of Old Palm Harbor, Crystal Beach and Ozona.
There are no other 3-story industrial buildings along the Pinellas Trail in this neighborhood. If this zoning is passed and built, it will set a precedence for all types of industrial properties to be built on residential properties rezoned in the area.
Only residents within 600 feet received a mailed, written notification of these proposed changes.
I believe that the larger community should be made aware of this pending change, since it could have a detrimental impact on our community .
The community is encouraged to attend the meeting.
The community is encouraged to email letters and comments
to ZONING@PINELLASCOUNTY.ORG
or fax letters to 727-453-3256
You must Reference: Case No Z/LU-12-06-18
Contact the Planning Analyst office at 727-464-3583, if you have any questions.
Please have all correspondence sent in for this meeting prior to the end of day on Monday, 6/11/2018, to ensure it is presented to the board and not missed.
