Planning board approves Sherwin-Williams conditional use at 7421 Ulmerton Road
Summary
The Largo Planning Board voted 6-0 to approve a Class II conditional use (CU-2026-0001) allowing a 7,500-square-foot Sherwin-Williams retail paint store at 7421 Ulmerton Road; staff recommended approval and said stormwater and site details will be handled in full site-plan review.
The Largo Planning Board unanimously approved a Class II conditional use to allow a Sherwin-Williams retail paint store at 7421 Ulmerton Road on May 7.
Alec Bryant, the staff presenter, told the board the proposal calls for a 7,500-square-foot building on a 0.91-acre parcel currently classified residential office general on the city's future land use map. Staff recommended approval under CDC Section 4.2.4, noting landscape buffers meet or exceed commercial requirements and that cross-access to the adjacent site would be maintained. "Staff does recommend approval of the proposed scope of work outlined in CU-twenty six-one," Bryant said.
Board members asked about traffic and drainage. Using Pinellas County trip rates for a building-materials store (45.2 daily trips per 1,000 square feet), staff estimated about 339 daily trips for the proposed store and said stormwater retention and drainage improvements would be addressed in the full site-plan review. The applicant, Matt Campbell of Camp Legg AreaX, said customer traffic tends to occur during non-peak hours ("very much on non peak hours") and that Sherwin-Williams expects lower traffic than a larger building-supply use.
The public hearing drew no speakers. Mr. Eiffert moved to approve CU-2026-0001; Ms. Hall seconded. Roll call (Miss Hall; Miss Robshaw; Miss McGee; Mr. Eiffert; Mr. Graham; Chair Faustini) was unanimous and the motion carried 6-0. The chair thanked the applicant for investing in Largo.
Next steps: If the conditional-use approval stands, the project will proceed to full site-plan review to verify compliance with the City of Largo's Comprehensive Development Code requirements.
