(WFLA) \u2014 Community members are raising new concerns about redevelopment plans for Tierra Verde Marina. A group of residents filed an appeal to stop the changes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In May, hundreds showed up in neon shirts at St. Petersburg City Hall to represent \u2018Tierra Verde Next\u2019 and voice worries about the project. Ultimately, the development review commission approved the plans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a class=\"link  yahoo-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/us\/articles\/st-pete-beach-leaders-consider-150102133.html\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:St. Pete Beach leaders want to hear from you on new beach restrictions;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;St. Pete Beach leaders want to hear from you on new beach restrictions&quot;}\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> St. Pete Beach leaders want to hear from you on new beach restrictions <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Melanie Coleman Simon said, \u201cIt belongs in a warehouse, an industrial area, not a residential.\u201d She\u2019s a member of the group which is now working their way through the appeal process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Documents recently filed in court say a pair of 72-foot-tall boat storage structures exceed the 50-foot height limitation for the area. Additionally, the appeal claims city leaders who approved the plans didn\u2019t consider key issues relating to hurricane safety, structure integrity, noise and hours of operation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Rick Kriseman, a spokesman for Greenleaf Capital, the company behind the overhaul says they\u2019ve attempted to accommodate homeowners in the area. He describes, \u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of changes that have been made to this plan for what was originally filed \u2014 and, and listening to what the community\u2019s concerns were.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A member of the Tampa-based company was not immediately available to comment on the appeal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
