Is 370 year-round, full-time homes more intense use than 392 part-time recreational spaces ?
RV resort seeks new rezoning St. Petersburg Times, published 2003-07-01 09:00:00 Etc/GMT PALM HARBOR – The owner of the Cypress Pointe RV Resort is back with a new buyer, a new lawyer and a new development plan. This spring, the Pinellas County Commission rejected a proposal to allow a Wal-Mart Supercenter on the 39 acres now occupied by the park. Now the park’s owner, the Wilder Corp., and a new developer, Crescent Resources LLC, are requesting a rezoning to allow the construction of 370 dwellings, mostly townhomes and condominiums. With the change in zoning, the number of approved residences on the property would drop from the 392 spaces now at Cypress Pointe. “We’re reducing the number of units, so it would seem that the net traffic impacts would be negligible,” said Ed Armstrong, a Clearwater attorney hired to work on the rezoning request. “This certainly would not generate anywhere near the traffic a Wal-Mart would have.” The land is on the east side of U.S. 19, south of Klosterma
