Pinellas Park council approves zoning changes, vacation of rights‑of‑way and consent‑agenda items
Summary
At its July 1 meeting the council approved multiple land‑use items — including two rezoning/ordinance actions, two right‑of‑way vacates and a consent agenda covering appointments, easement grants and a temporary moratorium first reading — mostly by unanimous votes.
Pinellas Park City Council approved a slate of land‑use and administrative items on July 1, including rezoning, right‑of‑way vacations and consent agenda authorizations.
Key actions: council approved Ordinance 2026‑23 (first reading for a revised commercial planned unit development master plan) with a recorded abstention by Mayor Bradbury on that vote; approved Ordinance 2026‑20 on second reading to allow communication towers as a conditional use on properties with a transportation/utility future land use designation; adopted Ordinance 2026‑21 (final reading) to rezone a split‑zoned parcel at 7791 52nd Street North to a unified Town Center (TC) designation; and adopted Resolutions 2026‑10 and 2026‑11 to vacate two unused, landlocked rights of way adjacent to 4080 and 4090 78th Avenue North.
The consent agenda (items c1–c10) included the appointment of Rick Ealy to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board; authorization of a three‑year subscription with Esri (Environmental Systems Research Institute); authorization to grant drainage and utility easements to local utilities and the Pinellas Park Water Management District; quitclaim deeds transferring vacated right‑of‑way parcels to the Florida Community Loan Fund Inc.; approval of a temporary moratorium first reading for data centers (item c6); and authorization for a stormwater pipe rehabilitation purchase to Vortex Companies LLC.
Votes were recorded as carried unanimously in most cases; Ordinance 2026‑23’s first reading passed 4–0 with Mayor Bradbury abstaining. Planning & Zoning Commission recommendations and staff presentations accompanied the land‑use items before council action.
Procedural note: the city clerk recorded approval of the June 23, 2026 minutes earlier in the meeting.
