The board approved project awards for Forward Pinellas grant programs (votes: 10-0)
● For the Complete Streets grant program, the board unanimously voted to award two concept planning
projects and one construction project
○ The City of Clearwater received $50K that it had requested to develop a concept plan for Fort
Harrison Ave. from Belleair Road to the Alternate US 19 merge
○ The remaining $50K available was awarded to the City of St. Petersburg for an 18th Ave. S
concept plan between 35th St. and 14th St.
○ Forward Pinellas will add a $1M construction project to its priority list for the City of St. Petersburg
to connect three new parks in the Deuces area on 22nd St. S from 5th Ave. S to 11th Ave. S.
Board Meeting Minutes March 13, 2019
■ The St. Petersburg project was recommended by the selection committee because while
both it and Dunedin’s submitted project for Skinner Boulevard had high redevelopment
potential, St. Petersburg’s would serve a larger transportation disadvantaged and
minority population
■ The committee decided against splitting funds for the construction project because less
than $1M would not enable either project to be completed
● For the Planning & Place-Making grant program, four cities applied for $100K available
○ The City of Largo was awarded $50K it had requested to prepare a Special Area Plan for the US
19 and Roosevelt Blvd./East Bay Drive area, and the City of Oldsmar was awarded $25K it had
requested to fund a feasibility study for the “Top of the Bay Innovation Center”
○ The City of Tarpon Springs was awarded the remaining $25K out of $50K it had requested; that
funding will be used to identify a highest and best use redevelopment scenario for a city-owned
distressed property
Staff presented an update on the Alternate US 19 Cultural Corridor project
● The Cultural Corridor Project was conceived last summer as a partnership between Forward Pinellas and
Creative Pinellas, the county’s designated arts agency
○ The project covers a 17 mile corridor from Largo to Tarpon Springs
○ The idea of the Cultural Corridor is to link the strong history and cultural assets of various
communities
○ Each of the cities along the corridor has a designated Community Redevelopment Area;
unincorporated areas have also been included in the outreach and planning activities for the
corridor
● In workshops held in Tarpon Springs, Dunedin, Largo and Clearwater, more than 150 people gave
feedback and were highly engaged
○ A common point of feedback was the need for a work-live “makers space” along the corridor, as
well as a co-working or incubator space
○ The corridor would need to respect local identity while tying the arts branding together cohesively
○ Responding to another point of feedback on the need to pursue creative funding, Forward
Pinellas worked with Clearwater and Creative Pinellas to submit an application to the National
Endowment for the Arts for public art primarily in downtown Clearwater
● A progress meeting will be held March 26 at the Creative Pinellas Gallery to discuss lessons learned and
next steps entering phase two of the project
○ The next phase will build on existing momentum and further explore the suggestions developed in
the first phase
● There was discussion of how strip commercial development is prominent in the corridor, and may take
time to redevelop, but concentrated areas of arts emphasis can steer redevelopment along the entire
corridor in the long term
● The Cultural Corridor framework and recommendations are intended to help guide and complement the
design and engineering recommendations forthcoming from the Alt US 19 Corridor Study undertaken by
the Florida Department of Transportation
Staff presented an update on the Advantage Pinellas Plan, the new Long Range Transportation Plan to be
adopted in November
● Staff has completed the population and employment forecasts for 2045 with the input of local
governments
○ Population is forecast to grow almost 10% by 93K residents, nearly the population of Clearwater,
primarily concentrated in activity centers
○ Employment is forecast to increase 11% by 60K, concentrated in activity and employment centers
● The plan is currently in the needs assessment phase, and staff is working to identify priority transit
corridors and other transportation needs
● A focus group comprised of residents from throughout the county that met in November is meeting again
in April and will discuss proposed corridors and projects
Board members discussed the drainage and safety problem on Gulf Boulevard in Indian Shores
● The mayor of Indian Shores is concerned by the unsafe situation caused by the shared bicycle and
walking path on Gulf Boulevard not being grade-separated from the roadway by a curb
○ The drainage issues cause ponding in the road, and motorists also pass in the sidewalk/bike path
area to avoid being delayed by left-turning cars
● FDOT is already addressing the drainage issues with a $14M project - $6M of FDOT money and $8M of
Pinellas County money
○ FDOT had hoped to use its $6M to go toward fixing the sidewalk/bike path issue as well, but was
unable to do so without holding up the drainage project, which addresses some of the ponding
issues in the roadway after it rains
○ Creating a raised sidewalk or multi-use path and resolving remaining drainage issues will likely
cost $15M-$20M, a project that will likely need to go on the Forward Pinellas priority list to get
funded
● Board members expressed frustration about the inefficiency of this solution along with the long
construction times likely to complete both projects consecutively
○ Commissioner Karen Seel also mentioned that when this portion of Gulf Boulevard was
reconstructed for the pervious bike/pedestrian path, the board had expressed concerns about the
drainage ability of the improvements
● The Indian Shores mayor and FDOT leadership will come before the board to discuss the projects at a
future meeting
Two amendments to the Countywide Plan Map were unanimously approved:
● A subthreshold amendment for an automobile repair facility property at 1408 North Betty Lane in
unincorporated Pinellas County from Residential Low Medium to Retail and Services (vote: 10-0)
● A regular amendment for a property at 3101 Pass-A-Grill Way that was formerly a private school in the
City of St. Pete Beach from Public/Semi-Public to Residential Medium (vote: 10-0)
The executive director reported that he would be sending a letter to members of the Pinellas Legislative
Delegation
● The letter addresses the agency’s top priorities and the success that Forward Pinellas and other regional
agencies have achieved in transportation coordination
● At another point in the meeting, board members discussed the importance of being on the same page
with the business community and trying to coordinate efforts to avoid duplication of planning initiatives
Other Items
● The board approved adding previously agreed upon safety performance measures into the Transportation
Improvement Program (vote: 10-0)
● Board members briefly discussed an option for adding the seven jurisdictions currently not paying into
PSTA; this would require county commission authorization
● It was noted in the PSTA Activities Report that the agency is currently facing a shortfall and is examining
ways to move forward, ideally without cutting services
Upcoming Dates
● March 26 - Alternate US 19 Cultural Corridor Progress Meeting
● March 27 - Tampa Bay Mobility Alliance Meeting (TBMO)
● April 4 - Open House: 34th Street South Lane Repurposing
● April 5 - Tampa Bay Transportation Management Area Leadership Group Meeting (TMA)

5C. Authorization for Executive Director to Distribute Letter on Complete Streets
SUMMARY
Complete Streets are designed, operated and maintained for all users, regardless of age or ability, based on the context of the roadway and its surrounding area. Through its plans and programs, Forward Pinellas supports complete streets initiatives in Pinellas County to improve accessibility and mobility for everyone. With the City of St. Petersburg completing the development of its Complete Streets Implementation Plan, Forward Pinellas was asked to provide formal support for the Plan. Understanding that a number of communities across the county are in some stage of developing similar plans, and with the support of the Technical Coordinating Committee, the Executive Director has drafted a letter of support for all communities in Pinellas to develop plans and policies to support complete streets countywide. Once signed, this letter will be provided to the local governments in Pinellas. ATTACHMENT(S):

6A1. Case CW 19-07 – City of Clearwater
SUMMARY From: Public/Semi-Public To: Residential Low Medium Area: 4.88 acres m.o.l. Location: 1625 Union Street, Clearwater, FL 33755 This proposed amendment is submitted by the City of Clearwater and seeks to amend property totaling approximately 4.88 acres from Public/Semi-Public (used to recognize institutional and transportation/utility uses that serve the community or region, especially larger facilities having acreage exceeding the thresholds established in other plan categories, and which are consistent with the need, character, and scale of such uses relative to the surrounding uses, transportation facilities, and natural resource features) to Residential Low Medium (used to depict areas that are now developed, or appropriate to be developed, in a suburban, low density or moderately dense residential manner; and to recognize such areas as primarily well-suited for residential uses that are consistent with the suburban qualities, transportation facilities, including transit, and natural resources of such areas). The subject property is the current location of the Mt. Zion United Methodist Church, however, the property was purchased by Union Place, LLC in September of 2018. In total, there is approximately 30,000 square feet of development comprised of four one and two-story buildings on the site. If approved, this amendment would allow the property to redevelop as a residential development which is in scale, intensity and character with the overall neighborhood and would be consistent with the City of Clearwater’s Comprehensive Plan. FINDINGS Staff submits the following findings in support of the recommendation for approval:
A. The Residential Low Medium category is appropriate for the proposed use of the property, and is consistent with the criteria for utilization of this category.
B. The proposed amendment either does not involve, or will not significantly impact, the remaining relevant countywide considerations.
Please see accompanying attachments and documents in explanation and support of these findings.

6A2. Case CW 19-08 – Pinellas County
SUMMARY From: Residential Low Medium and Preservation To: Recreation/Open Space Area: 1.61 acres m.o.l. Location: Southwest corner of Alternate US 19 and Wai Lani Road; approximately 400 ft. west of
Alternate US 19 and Harry Street This proposed amendment is submitted by Pinellas County and seeks to amend property totaling approximately 1.61 acres from Residential Low Medium (used to depict areas that are now developed, or appropriate to be developed, in a suburban, low density or moderately dense residential manner; and to recognize such areas as primarily well-suited for residential uses that are consistent with the suburban qualities, transportation facilities, including transit, and natural resources of such areas) and Preservation (used to depict natural resource features worthy of preservation and those areas of the county that are now used, or are appropriate to be used, for the conservation, production, and management of the regional potable water supply and the supporting infrastructure, consistent with the natural resources of the area), to Recreation/Open Space (used to recognize recreation/open space uses that serve the community or region). The subject property is currently vacant and is part of a broader 245 acres that comprises both developed and undeveloped portions of Wall Springs County Park and Wai Lani Girl Scout Camp. Until recently Pinellas County did not have appropriate zoning for recreational uses, and therefore it was common practice to leave the underlying zoning in place while updating the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) to reflect Recreation/Open Space. The proposed amendments are intended to reflect the current and planned future uses of the park and camp as well as bring the local Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and Zoning Atlas into consistency. If approved, this amendment will be consistent with Pinellas County’s Comprehensive Plan. FINDINGS Staff submits the following findings in support of the recommendation for approval:
A. The Recreation/Open Space category is appropriate for the proposed use of the property, and is consistent with the criteria for utilization of this category.

7C. Advantage Pinellas Update
SUMMARY Advantage Pinellas is the countywide 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) for Pinellas County. It is being developed in partnership with the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority’s (PSTA) Community Bus Plan effort. Advantage Pinellas is the first countywide transportation plan developed since the merger of the Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and the Pinellas Planning Council (PPC) as Forward Pinellas, and seeks to further align and reinforce policy and decision-making for land use/redevelopment and transportation. As the MPO for Pinellas County, Forward Pinellas is responsible for developing a 25 year long range transportation plan every five years to account for changes in transportation needs, land uses, shifting regional travel patterns, new and emerging technology, and demographic changes that have occurred since the last LRTP was adopted in 2014. PSTA’s Community Bus Plan provides a planning framework for transit service development over the next five to 10 years. By developing these plans together, Advantage Pinellas will provide a coordinated vision and strategy for aligning short-term and longer-term multimodal transportation investments to serve Pinellas County’s economic, redevelopment and community goals. Forward Pinellas staff has been continuing its public outreach activities throughout Pinellas County and has begun to develop the “Needs” portion of Advantage Pinellas, identifying transportation projects necessary to meet the county’s mobility needs through 2045. Staff has also begun to identify ‘constrained’ roadways, which have physical, environmental or policy conditions that preclude adding general purpose lanes for through traffic. Staff will provide the board with an update on its activities related to Advantage Pinellas and information on the next steps of its development, leading up to its required adoption by November 2019.

7D. Draft Annual Priorities
SUMMARY Forward Pinellas adopts project priority lists for its Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) each year. These lists are used for the allocation of federal funding for needed transportation projects and planning activities. The priority lists include the Multimodal Transportation Priority Projects and Transportation Alternatives (TA) Program, as well as the Transportation Management Area (TMA) regional project priority lists, as recommended by the TMA Leadership Group for Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas Counties. The approved priority lists provide direction to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in the development of its Five Year Work Program. A description of these lists and proposed changes is provided in the sections that follow.
A. Multimodal Transportation Priority List Update With the development of a new draft Work Program and the completion of some projects on the current list, it is necessary to update the multimodal priority list. Since the last update of this list in 2018, one project has been completed and is being removed and nine additional projects were allocated funding for implementation and are being moved from the ‘Unfunded’ section to the “Funded” section of the list. Staff is also proposing to add six additional projects, including one complete streets construction project per the board’s action in March, and update the project descriptions of several existing priorities. Forward Pinellas staff will provide an overview of proposed changes to the list. This item is for review and comment only. A revised draft, reflecting the board’s discussion, will be brought back for final approval at the June 12th board meeting.
ATTACHMENT(S): Draft 2019 Multimodal Transportation Project Priorities
ACTION: Board to review and provide comments on the Draft 2019 Multimodal Transportation Project Priorities.
B. Transportation Alternatives (TA) Program Priority List Update The TA program provides a smaller amount of funding for lower cost non-road building projects, such as the construction of bicycle and pedestrian facilities and the implementation of safety program projects. The local TA priority list for Pinellas County is attached and includes information regarding the status of the projects. The projects shown in strike-through are proposed for removal from the list. The City of St. Petersburg’s bicycle facilities on 30th Avenue North and Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail Extension Landscaping projects will be removed from the list because they have been completed. The City of Gulfport is no longer pursuing TA funding for Phase 2 of its Multi -Use Trail project and was able to fund Phase 4 of the project through another funding source. Therefore, these phases will be removed from the priority list. Other Changes to the list include the renumbering of only unfunded projects to better clarify which projects are next in line for funding. Forward Pinellas staff will provide a brief overview of these changes.
ATTACHMENT(S): Draft 2019 Transportation Alternatives Program Priority List
ACTION: Board to review and provide comments on the Draft 2019 Transportation Alternatives Program Priority List. C. Transportation Management Area 2019 Top Priorities The Tampa Bay TMA Leadership Group convened in 2014 to develop a regional consensus on transportation priorities for the urbanized area comprised of Pinellas County and the urban portions of Hillsborough and Pasco Counties. The Leadership Group serves in an advisory capacity to each MPO board, which has final approval of TMA work products. Each year, the TMA Leadership Group endorses a Top 5 list of major transportation projects, which is transmitted to each individual MPO for approval. The Leadership Group will meet on April 5th to review and approve the TMA 2019 Top Priorities by consensus. In addition, the TMA will approve a regional multiuse trail priority list for the Tampa Bay TMA, developed by MPO staff from Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough Counties. Each of the MPOs in the TMA continue to maintain their own local TA Program priority lists to reflect the priorities of their respective jurisdictions in terms of bicycle and pedestrian projects. Forward Pinellas staff will provide an overview of the TMA priority lists and review any changes made to the draft lists by the TMA Leadership Group at its April 5th meeting.

Tampa Bay Transportation Management Area (TMA) Leadership Group
2019 Top Priorities for Multi-Use Trails Duke Energy Trail - The trail is partially funded with one gap needing design and
construction funding, from126th Avenue North to Roosevelt Boulevard. Once completed, the Duke Energy trail will link with the Pinellas Trail to create a 70-mile loop that includes a connection to Hillsborough County via the Courtney Campbell Trail.
Starkey Trail Connector - Connection from Pinellas Trail to the Starkey Wilderness Trail through the Brooker Creek Preserve. Approximately eight miles bridging a vital gap between Pasco and Pinellas Counties. Request/Status: $4m for Construction; Planning & Alignment Studies Complete
South Coast Greenway Phase 1 - part of the Gulf Coast Trail, the South Coast
Trail would go from Adamo Drive and extend south the Manatee County line. The entire trail has been broken into six phases. Phase I is funded with immediate potential for extension through Waterset Community. Request/Status: funding for PD&E and design of Phases III and IV.
Bypass Canal Trail – A 17+ mile trail southward from Flatwoods Park, on the banks
of the Bypass Canal per agreement with the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Using existing parks in Temple Terrace and the Florida State Fairgrounds areas as trailheads, the corridor expands future access to the Old Fort King and Withlacoochee State Trail. Request/Status: Hillsborough County requests funding for the design and construction of the next phase.
Orange Belt Trail – The approximately 37 mile long trail would extend from the
Starkey Trail (C2C connector) in the Trinity area of southwest Pasco County to the existing Withlacoochee State Trail trailhead (connects to Good Neighbor/South Sumter Connector) at U.S. Highway 301 in Trilby in northeast Pasco County. The planned trail alignment generally follows the historic Orange Belt Railroad line that crosses Pasco County in a southwest to northeast direction. The Orange Belt Trail is scheduled for a route study which will determine exact alignment and preliminary engineering funded ($1.9M) in 2017. Request/Status: Pasco County requests $15.5M for right-of-way acquisition and construction.
----------------------- Tampa Bay TMA Leadership Group Purpose -----------------------
There is a role for a TMA-focused group, not currently performed by any existing transportation organization. That role includes developing regional consensus priorities for the TMA, especially in the allocation of federal & state funds. The group will focus on major cross-county transportation markets and traffic movements, and on helping the Tampa Bay metropolitan area speak with one voice in discussions of regional transportation prioritization issues and financial resources.

7E. Skinner Boulevard Complete Streets Project
SUMMARY
In 2018, the City of Dunedin received a $100,000 grant from Forward Pinellas to develop a complete streets concept plan for Skinner Boulevard from Alternate US 19 to Bass Boulevard. A four-lane roadway immediately north of Dunedin’s downtown district, Skinner Boulevard, also known as State Road 580, is within the City’s Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) boundary and crosses the Pinellas Trail. The City has been developing the plan with the intent to transform the corridor into a multimodal facility that supports desired redevelopment within the CRA through safety improvements for passenger vehicles, bicycles, transit riders and pedestrians. The City has conducted extensive outreach with residents and business owners, and has developed significant public support for the planned concepts for the corridor. A City representative will provide the board with an overview of the project and identify planned components of the concept plan, which is currently being finalized. The Florida Department of Transportation has allocated funds to conduct a corridor study for SR 580 from Alternate US 19 to Tampa Road in FY 2020 of the Draft Tentative Work Program. ATTACHMENT(S): None ACTION: None required; informational item only
ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION(S): While not an action item, at its March 24th meeting, the TCC unanimously supported concept #3 for the Skinner Boulevard Complete Streets Concept Plan. The CAC also considered the various concepts at its March 25th meeting with a majority also supporting concept #3. Those CAC members who did not vote in favor of this concept voiced concern over the inclusion of roundabouts in the plan.

7F. Preliminary FY20 Budget
SUMMARY
Under Pinellas County’s FY20 budget schedule, the Pinellas Planning Council (PPC) preliminary budget
outline was submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on March 14, 2019. The preliminary
outline will be refined in the coming months based on further direction from the board, as well as updated
financial projections from OMB and the Property Appraiser’s Office (PAO). Forward Pinellas staff is
scheduled to present the PPC’s preliminary budget to the Board of County Commissioners on May 9,
2019.
Below is a brief summary of the preliminary FY20 budget:
Forward Pinellas staff is preparing a budget that can be funded within the present revenue stream
at the current millage rate of 0.0150.
OMB has recommended the following forecast assumptions be used to build the FY20 budget:
o Property tax revenues will increase by 5.5%;
o Personal Services will increase by 3.6%; and
o Operating Expenses will increase by 2.3%.
OMB estimates the PPC unassigned fund balance (UAFB) will exceed $900,000 at the end of
FY19. The FY20 preliminary budget was structured consistent with board policy to continue the
strategic drawdown of the UAFB while maintaining a healthy reserve.
The preliminary FY20 budget for the combined operations of the PPC and MPO includes
$2,947,660 in expenditures and $2,752,200 in total revenues. About $195,460 will be
expended from the UAFB to balance the budget.
With the board’s input, and as preliminary estimates of ad valorem taxable values are made available
from the PAO by June 1st, this first draft of the budget will be refined in subsequent meetings with the
board.
