Largo Tri-City Special Area Plan was adopted in December 2020 and the development standards put into effect by the City Commission on March 2, 2021.

The plan area is centered at the intersection of two primary corridors (US Highway 19 and Roosevelt Boulevard/East Bay Drive) and is approximately 900 acres in size. A special area plan (SAP) is a planning tool the City will utilize to effectively coordinate land use and development within the identified planning area. This plan intends to create an attractive, sustainable and economically vital urban destination that incorporates a higher degree of mixed uses, density and accessibility to multiple modes of transportation.

The Tri-City Special Area includes design standards to encourage walking, biking and access to transit, density and intensity bonuses for sustainable and affordable housing development and the City of Largo's first requirement for new development projects to provide electric vehicle charging stations. Additional information about the plan can be found at: Largo.com/US19SAP
