Impact analysis
The developer pays a $2,000 design review application fee plus multimodal impact fees; no city cost.
The developer and future residents and visitors get new housing and hospitality on a long-vacant lot along the Causeway.
No speakers opposed; nearby multifamily neighbors could see construction traffic during building.

CITY COMMISSION (Regular) - May 7, 2026
The vacant lot by the Causeway — empty since 2005 — will get 12 townhomes, a small wine-tasting shop and a 7-room hotel annex. Residents nearby worry all traffic now routes through residential Gary Circle after Pinellas County denied a Causeway access, while many neighbors are just glad something is finally being built.
