Pinellas LPA forwards two companion cases to Board; no public speakers and staff announces switch to tablets

At its September meeting the Pinellas County Local Planning Agency voted by voice to recommend approval of two companion items—FLU 26‑02 (future land use map amendment) and DVA 26‑02 (development agreement)—and forwarded both items to the Board of County Commissioners for final action. Motions were made and seconded on the record (FLU motion by Olivieri, seconded by Hamilton; DVA motion by Hamilton, seconded by Larry Johnson) and the chair announced both motions passed; no members of the public spoke for or against the applications.

After the votes staff provided operational updates, including a move from paper packets to tablets. A county staff member told the agency, "We got approval. So we're in the process now of of acquiring the tablets and, hopefully, we'll have those at your next meeting." Staff also said there are currently no items scheduled for the next month and the LPA likely will not meet in October.
