FW Shoppes on Sand Key - 1241 Gulf Boulevard - Case # REZ2007-10001 IIIFrom: Porter, Catherine Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 8:28 AM To: Everitt, Steven Subject: FW: Shoppes on Sand Key - 1241 Gulf Boulevard - Case # REZ2007-10001 Did you see this? -----Original Message----- From: Delk, Michael Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 3:45 PM To: 'Stevens, Elaine F'; Everitt, Steven; JLMART@aol.com Cc: Clayton, Gina; Porter, Catherine; Dougall-Sides, Leslie Subject: RE: Shoppes on Sand Key - 1241 Gulf Boulevard - Case # REZ2007-10001 Ms. Stevens, I would offer the following response to your questions: 1. Rezoning requires a public hearing by the Community Development Board (CDB), who upon review for consistency with the locally adopted Comprehensive Plan, will make a recommendation to City Council who will take the final action. 2. The CDB will make their findings based upon the testimony and evidence presented to them at the hearing. The same will be true for City Council. 3. An environmental assessment would not likely be a requirement to consider a change from a "B" Business zoning district to a "T" Tourist zoning district. Environmental review could be a component of site development process as circumstances warrant. At this time, no site development plans have been submitted. Michael L.

The request is to establish a Tourist zoning designation for both properties. A Settlement Agreement between the City and U.S. Steel created the Business zoning district for these two properties. The Settlement Agreement lasted 20 years and expired in October 2006. The application was reviewed by the City's Development Review Committee (City's professional staff) on November 11, 2007. The Community Development Coordinator, Michael Delk, Planning Director, determined the application met the standards for review listed in Section 4-602.F of the Community Development Code. The Community Development Coordinator will make a recommendation to the Community Development Board to approve the request. This will occur on Tuesday, December 12, 2007 at 1:00 pm in the City Council Chambers located on the third floor of City Hall at 112 South Osceola Avenue in Downtown Clearwater. The Community Development Board will issue a recommended order to the City Council setting forth the Board's findings. The recommended order may include conditions or modifications. The City Council will review the recommended order and make a final approval or denial. The application is not available for review on the Internet. You may review the application at the Planning Department. The Planning Department is located at 100 South Myrtle Avenue in Downtown Clearwater. In conclusion, the City's professional staff approved an application to rezone the properties from Business to Tourist. The Community Development Board will make a recommendation to City Council. The City Council will hold two public hearings and then vote to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application. If approved by the City Council, the City's zoning atlas will be changed immediately after second reading. If you have any other questions or would like to discuss the article, please contact me.
