US 19 Zoning District & Corridor Plan

Project typeAdopted Long Range Plan

US Highway 19 with cars

The city of Clearwater developed zoning standards to create a thriving and prosperous corridor along the city’s seven-mile stretch of US 19 and its major cross streets.

The US 19 Corridor Redevelopment Plan, written in 2012, establishes strategies to revitalize this stretch of highway and increase its competitiveness, connectivity and sustainability.

The city's goals through these efforts are to:

Promote employment-intensive and transit-supportive forms, patterns, and intensities of development;

Encourage the development of mixed-use destinations at major cross streets; and

Provide for the design of safe, attractive, and accessible settings for working, living, and shopping.

The city of Clearwater received the inaugural Partners in Action Award from Forward Pinellas in 2017 for its efforts to establish the US 19 Zoning District & Development Standards.

The US 19 Corridor Redevelopment Plan won two regional awards from the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council in 2013, recognizing the importance of the plan and its strategies in re-positioning the US 19 Corridor in the city, as well as adding to the number and diversity of quality places in the region.
