PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
STAFF REPORT
TEXT AMENDMENT
REQUEST:
Amendments to the Community Development Code as a Result
of the Required Update - Ordinance No. 6526-00.
INITIATED BY:
City of Cleanvater Planning Department
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The foundation of the One City. One Future redevelopment initiative was the creation of
the new Community Development Code, which became effective on March 8, 1999. In
order to provide a new framework for development and redevelopment in the City of
Clearwater, the Code was structured to encourage desired development and
redevelopment and provide property owners with measured flexibility with regard to use
and intensity of use and bulk standards.
After the Code went into effect, the Planning Department staff was charged with
evaluating the Code to determine if it was achieving its goals. Since March 1999, staff
has had ample opportunity for using the Code and evaluating its effectiveness. Staff has
approved approximately 1,300 applications requiring minimum zoning approval. The
Development Review Committee (DRC) has reviewed over 83 flexible standard
development cases. The DRC and the Community Development Board (COB) have
reviewed approximately 35 flexible development cases. Statf has also reviewed
approximately thirty comprehensive sign program applications. During the past year,
only one appeal was filed and that was resolved in a mutually beneficial manner.
After the Code went into effect, staff began to record any inconsistencies, deficiencies, or
problems found in the Code. Comments were collected from Planning and Development
Services staff, Community Response Team members, Parks and Recreation staff , the
Harbormaster and Public Works staff. Additionally, comments and suggestions have
been obtained from design and development professionals, contractors and residents.
During the Code update process, which began in September 1999, staff has met with
numerous groups and individuals to solicit input on the update including the Island
Estates Homeowners Association, Sand Key Civic Association, the Clearwater Coalition
of Homeowners Association, the Government Affairs Committee of the Chamber of

relevant amendments are as follows: additional flexibility in bulk regulations; shared
parking options in the D and T Districts; streamlining the review process of minor lot
adjustments and residential lots of record; permitting the redevelopment of properties
with nonconforming density provided all code requirements are met; and establishing
time, place and manner regulations tor newsracks.
2. The proposed amendments further the purposes of the Community
Development Code and other City ordinances and actions designed to
implement the Plan.
The proposed text amendments include a broad range of regulations ranging from
permitted uses, numerical standards, flexibility criteria, procedures, enforcement and
definitions. The proposed amendments are consistent with the provisions of Section I-
103 which lists the purposes of the Code.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed amendments to the Community Development Code are consistent with the
Clearwater Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of the Community Development Code.
They also further the original goals that established the Code. The amendments
encourage new uses to assist in stimulating development and redevelopment; provide for
improved site design by requiring a high standard of site planing, significant landscaping
and limited signage; and maintain flexibility in setbacks while ensuring neighborhood
compatibility. The proposed amendments promote more site specific solutions and
promote economic development while maintaining high standards for development which
are essential in a community undergoing redevelopment.
The Planning Department Staff recommends APPROVAL of Ordinance No. 6526-00
which makes revisions to the Community Development Code.

The Chamber opposes requiring permits for the painting of commercial
structures. This additional permit will cause time delays and unnecessary
expense and inconvenience for businesses trying to upgrade their properties.
The Chamber is withholding a position on item 5, prohibiting rentals of less
than 30 days, until we are able to explore its potential economic impacts.
Thank you again for including the Chamber in this review process.
Sincerely,

Clearwater Code Amendments
As presented to Clearwater Regional Chamber Board of Directors
1. Pennit density/intensity averaging on site having two different land use
categories provided the use is permitted in both categories.
2. Permit light assembly type uses that have no external impacts in the
Commercial District (e.g. dental labs, pill assembly, etc.)
3. Perout "limited vehicle service" uses as a flexible development use in the
Commercial District subject to design criteria (e.g. car wash, oil change, etc).
4. Permit shared parking options, including payment in "lieu of' in the Tourist
District.
5. Prohibit the renting of any dwelling for less than 30 days, unless located in the
Tourist, Commercial or Downtown Districts.
6. Require permit for painting commercial structures.
7. Amend newsrack regulations based on task force and commission direction.
8. Clarify what triggers compliance with new code provisions for landscaping,
parking, and signage. (proposed: renovations costing up to 25% of assessed
value of property will be allowed without triggering retroaction)
9. ~feasure sign height of freestanding signs above the crown of the road so that
signs for business at US 19 overpasses will be visible.
10. Eliminate cap on maximum amount of parking that can be provided on a site.
Control only through the site plan review approval process.
11. Revise the distance requirements for Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) so
that if a property is located on the barrier islands the TDR can go anywhere on
the islands. If the site is on the mainland, the transfer can go anywhere on the
mainland. Prohibit the transfer of any development rights to the Low Density
Residential and Low Medium Density Residential Districts. Commissioner Hart
is proposing four regions: mainland, Island Estates, Beach, Sand Key.
12. When tenninating a property status as nonconformity, residential and transient
uses may be exchanged and/or reconstructed subject to meeting parking,
landscaping and sign requirements.

Re: County\vide Rules and Transient Accommodation Uses
Dear Ms. Clayton:
This correspondence is in response to your request for information regarding the treatment
of temporary lodging in residential land use categories. Specifically, you inquired as to
whether potential changes to the City's code to establish a minimum duration of tinle
properties in residential land use categories could be rented or leased would be consistent
with the Rules Concerning the Administration of the Countywide Plan (the Rules).
The Rules define a facility offering temporary lodging accommodations offered at intervals
of thirty (30) days or less as a "Transient Accommodation". Transient Accommodation uses
are not permitted in any residential land use plan classification. They are permitted as
primary uses in the following individual plan categories:
· Residential/OfficeIRetail
" Resort Facilities Overiay
· Resort Facilities Medium
· Resort Facilities High
· Commercial Limited
· Commercial General
Such uses are permitted as secondary uses in the following two plan categories:
· Commercial Recreation
· Industrial Limited

Under the Countywide Rules, the renting or leasing of a residential dwelling unit for thirty
(30) days or less could only occur in the plan categories listed on the previous page. It is the
intent of the Countywide Rules that, within the residential plan categories, renting or leasing
, could not occur for less than thirty-one (31) days. Thus, for example, if the City chose to
limit renting or leasing to no less than three (3) months in any residential plan category, this
would be considered consistent with the Rules. Conversely, if the City were to permit a,
rental period of three (3) weeks, this would not be consistent.
If you have any further questions ple,ase let me know. If the City dues decide to amend its
code to deal with this issue, please be sure to submit the proposed amendments to the PPC
not less than twenty-one (21) days prior to the initial public hearing. PPC staff will conduct
a formal review of the amendment for consistency with the Rules within fifteen (15) days
of receipt and provide you with written confmnation of consistency.
Sincerely,
David P. Healey,
Executive Director
