Purpose: The Treasure Island PR-MU Core and PR-MU Gulf Blvd. (downtown redevelopment) zoning districts create an opportunity to revitalize the city's downtown core economically, visually, and functionally to provide an aesthetically pleasing and efficient multi-use activity center. Consisting of two planned redevelopment zoning districts, the downtown provides flexibility for the development of uses that minimize the impact upon the infrastructure.

(Ord. No. 12-09, § 4, 12-18-12)

No use shall be allowed in any zoning district unless such use is specifically delineated as a permitted use, special exception use, or accessory use in the zoning district regulations for such zoning district.

(Ord. No. 95-10, § 36-120, 9-19-95; Ord. No. 15-03, § 3, 7-7-15)

The restrictions and controls intended to regulate development in each zoning district are set forth in section 68-431 and are supplemented by the other sections of this article and other articles of this chapter.

(Ord. No. 95-10, § 36-121, 9-19-95; Ord. No. 15-03, § 3, 7-7-15)

All development and any redevelopment which results in an increase in lot coverage must be designed, constructed and maintained to meet the following performance standards:

(1)

While development activity is underway and after it is completed, the characteristics of stormwater runoff shall approximate the rate, volume, quality and timing of stormwater runoff that occurred under the site's natural unimproved or existing state, except that the first inch of rainfall shall be retained on-site.

(2)

The proposed development and redevelopment activity shall not produce additional point-source water pollution and shall not violate the water quality standards as set forth in Chapter 62-302, F.A.C. Stormwater management systems shall be designed in accordance with the 1996 Treasure Island Master Drainage Plan and Chapter 40D-4, F.A.C., and shall be subject to the permitting requirements and any additional design criteria of the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD).

(3)

All dredge and fill activities in Boca Ciega Bay are restricted under, and subject to, the provisions of F.S. § 258.396 (Boca Ciega Bay Aquatic Preserve) and the permitting requirements and design criteria of the county water and navigation control authority (sections 166-356 through 358, Pinellas County Code).

(4)

The proposed development and redevelopment activity shall not produce additional point-source air pollution.

(a)

Impervious surface is that portion of the land which is covered by buildings, pavements, or other cover through which water cannot penetrate. The establishment of an impervious surface ratio provides a control of the intensity of development of land, by controlling the amount of the land which may be covered by any type of impervious surface. The impervious surface ratio is calculated by dividing the total impervious surface by the gross site area. Water bodies are impervious and shall be included as such in the calculation.

(b)

The following standards shall govern the allowable impervious surface coverage for each zoning district. These standards are maximums and must not be exceeded by any development or redevelopment which results in any increase in impervious lot coverage.

RU-75 (Single Family Residential) — Maximum of 70 percent of the lot may be impervious.

RM-15 (Multiple Family Residential) — Maximum of 70 percent of the lot may be impervious.

RFM-30 (Resort Medium) — Maximum of 85 percent of the lot may be impervious (70 percent for multifamily residential developments).
