Thank you for the suggested CLE. This topic would be of interest here. The Development Review Commission of the City of St. Petersburg recently issued development approval for a 5-story self-storage facility with ground floor office, retail, parking and loading facilities (with a variance re: the parking element). The approval was contested. On appeal, the City Council upheld the DRC's decision. I'd love more discussion re: these types of mixed use projects. Law Office of Jo Claire Spear, P.A.
