SUMMARY:
This Zoning Atlas Amendment application involves one property of approximately 2.94 acres in area located on the
southeast side of Gulf Boulevard approximately 2900 feet south of Clearwater Pass Bridge as well as the adjacent
right-of-way of 0.75 acres. This property, known as the Shoppes on Sand Key, has a Future Land Use Plan
(FLUP) classification of Resort Facilities High (RFH) and a zoning designation of Business (B). The City dissolved
the B District in 1972. The B designation was the result of a lawsuit settlement stipulation of October 17, 1986 and
expired on October 17, 2006. In effect, there is no zoning on the property and the applicant is requesting to amend
the Zoning Atlas from the B designation to the Tourist (T) designation in order to have a zoning designation that is
consistent with the RFH FLUP.
