Sunset Park | Corey Avenue St. Pete Beach

Sunset Park on Corey Avenue | St. Pete Beach

Sunset Park is planned to be located on the west end of Corey Avenue on the edge of Blind Pass.

Enhancements in this area will:

• Create public space and a west side anchor. Create a much-needed public space and mixed-use development anchor on the west side of Corey Avenue and along waterfront, providing a destination for visitors.
• Integrate streetscape elements to improve the user experience. Fulfill the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code for sidewalks, landscaping, shade, visual interest, etc.
• Encourage pedestrian activity along Corey Avenue. Visitors will find a more pedestrian-friendly environment near the waterfront. Plus, visitors will find a more consistent streetscape and pedestrianfriendly environment along the west side of Corey Avenue.
• Preserve vehicular access from 75th Avenue to Corey Avenue and Corey Avenue to Sunset Way. A new two-lane alley preserves vehicular access from 75th Avenue to Corey Avenue, and a flexible pedestrian/vehicle plaza at Sunset Way and Corey Avenue preserves vehicular access to Sunset Way.
• Provide additional on-street parking along Corey Avenue. The proposal installs on-street parking along the west end of Corey Avenue.
• Enhance Corey Avenue streetscape and hide on-site parking from public view through structured parking or strategic infill development. Structured parking would be provided within the proposed mixed-use building, making it more visually appealing than an open surface lot. Incorporating infill development along Corey Avenue would enhance the main street character of Corey Avenue, create a more consistent building edge, and hide on-site surface parking lots from public view.
