Pinellas by Design: An Economic Development and Redevelopment Plan
for the Pinellas Community• Transition from greenfield
to redevelopment
• Integrate land use, transportation, and economic development
• Determine the most appropriate places for redevelopment
![Page 4: Pinellas by Design: A Blueprint for Updating the Countywide Plan Pinellas Planning Council May 18, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062307/551801c2550346c6568b5204/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Public Input• Hundreds of participants
attended three countywide summits
• Representatives of local government, businesses, and the public
• Identified areas of the county appropriate for higher density/intensity redevelopment, mixed uses, transit
![Page 5: Pinellas by Design: A Blueprint for Updating the Countywide Plan Pinellas Planning Council May 18, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062307/551801c2550346c6568b5204/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Centers
• Other data were used to identify focal points of community activity
• Compact, interrelated, higher densities and intensities
• Mix of residential, retail, entertainment and employment uses
![Page 6: Pinellas by Design: A Blueprint for Updating the Countywide Plan Pinellas Planning Council May 18, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062307/551801c2550346c6568b5204/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Corridors
• Connections between centers, throughout county, and to regional destinations
• Automobile, transit, and pedestrian/bicycle travel
• Shared by commuters, shoppers, freight traffic, tourists
![Page 7: Pinellas by Design: A Blueprint for Updating the Countywide Plan Pinellas Planning Council May 18, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062307/551801c2550346c6568b5204/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Districts
• Areas where similar land uses or activities are grouped together
• Less compact and interrelated than a center
• Example types: tourism, historic, arts/cultural, employment
![Page 8: Pinellas by Design: A Blueprint for Updating the Countywide Plan Pinellas Planning Council May 18, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062307/551801c2550346c6568b5204/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Employment Districts
• Employment districts are especially important
• Existing and potential employment districts were identified
• Industrial land is a significant component, addressed in a 2008 follow-up study

Redevelopment Potential
• Vacant land
• Underutilized land
• Public plans and investments
• Aging structures
• Low structure value to land value ratio
![Page 10: Pinellas by Design: A Blueprint for Updating the Countywide Plan Pinellas Planning Council May 18, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062307/551801c2550346c6568b5204/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Those elements were combined in the Centers, Corridors, and Districts Framework
![Page 11: Pinellas by Design: A Blueprint for Updating the Countywide Plan Pinellas Planning Council May 18, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062307/551801c2550346c6568b5204/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Purpose of the Centers, Corridors, and Districts Framework
“Effective redevelopment planning will build upon the existing development framework, channeling growth into areas where it can be appropriately accommodated…. Redevelopment should be organized around the existing system of centers, corridors, and districts.”

Future-Oriented Perspective
• Recognize the Economic Development and Redevelopment Plan for the Pinellas Community (EDRP) as a working policy document that will provide guidance for future economic development and redevelopment planning on a countywide basis.

Application to Countywide Plan
• Incorporate the strategies of the EDRP within the Countywide Plan. (Plan Approval Strategy A.3.)
• Amend the Countywide Rules to provide additional flexibility for local governments in meeting their redevelopment needs, consistent with the goals of this plan. (Regulatory Tools and Urban Design Strategy C.1.)

Unification of Land Use and Transportation Planning
• Coordinate countywide redevelopment planning with the MPO regarding transportation and land use relationships. (Pinellas County Jurisdictions and Agencies Coordination Strategy A.3.)

How do we continue to buildon Pinellas by Design?
• Move from concept to implementation
• Adopt a future-oriented Countywide Plan Map that anticipates redevelopment in these areas
• Encourage higher densities and intensities to locate in these areas through the Countywide Rules, and transportation planning
