West Bay Drive Community Redevelopment District

he WBD-CRD includes four Character Districts designed to facilitate the redevelopment of Largo's historic downtown as a mixed use activity center, while preserving the existing neighborhoods. Design review guidelines have been incorporated into the District to ensure all new development and redevelopment is compatible with the intent of the West Bay Drive Redevelopment Plan; Mixed-Use Corridor MUC: The MUC Character District is intended to include the most dense intense development within the WBD-CRD. It includes areas with high community visibility and where the potential for increased transit orientation may exist in the future. The Character District requires multi-story buildings, mixed-use development, and active first floor uses facing primary transportation corridors.; Medical Arts (MA): The MA Character District recognizes the important community asset of the medical industry in downtown. It allows professional office and commercial development surrounding the medical center as well as short term stay and workforce residential units that are intended to support the medical industry.; City Home CH: The CH Character District is intended for multifamily residential uses with limited potential for live-work office use. This District also serves as a transition between the high-density Character Districts, like MUC and MA, and lower density residential neighborhoods. CH allows multifamily and small professional office use, through a conditional approval process. New single family homes, a minimum of two stories, are permitted.; Neighborhood Residential (NR): The NR Character District is intended for lower-density single-family residential use. The NR District supports the preservation of existing neighborhoods while providing the opportunity for revitalization through selective residential infill, including the construction of accessory dwelling units. Only single-family residential development is allowed.
