Pinellas Park annexes 5570 Olmerton Road and assigns industrial and transportation-utility land uses
Summary
On March 27 the council approved annexation (Ordinance 2025-11) of a parcel at 5570 Olmerton Road and adopted a companion land-use map amendment (Ordinance 2025-12) designating the site Industrial Limited (IL) and Transportation Utility (TU).
The City of Pinellas Park City Council on March 27 approved the annexation of a parcel generally described as 5570 Olmerton Road (Ordinance 2025-11) and simultaneously adopted a land use map amendment (Ordinance 2025-12) that assigns the property Industrial Limited (IL) and Transportation Utility (TU) designations.
Senior Planner Lizzie St. Pierre presented the quasi-judicial companion cases. She said the parcel is currently in the county with County land-use designations of Employment and Transportation Utility and county zoning of Employment E2. She told the council the parcel is contiguous to the city, is located in flood zones AE and X (shaded), meets the annexation requirements in Florida Statute 171.044 and that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the land-use amendment conditioned on annexation approval.
The nut graf: the council approved both the annexation and the comprehensive-plan map amendment to incorporate the parcel into the city and assign land uses consistent with industrial and transportation utility functions; the items were handled as quasi‑judicial matters and considered together.
Councilmember Butler moved to adopt Ordinance 2025-11 (annexation) on second and final reading; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously. For the companion land-use amendment, Councilwoman Reid moved to pass Ordinance 2025-12 on second and final reading; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
Ending: The annexation and land‑use designation are effective as of the council’s action; future development of the property will be subject to the city’s Land Development Code and applicable floodplain regulations.
