ANALYSIS
Introduction
The Downtown Redevelopment Plan for the Community RedC'o'clopment Agency was adopted by
Resolution 9S-65 on August 17, 1995. The Redevelopment Plan was amended in October of 1998 as the
result of changing conditions and facilitate proper grO\\1h and development. The Plan divides
Clearwater's Downtown Area into five districts and provides a general description of each district
Within the context of each district are land use designations which indicate the type of use pennitted
within said district. The Plan also indicates the maximum permitted density and intensity per district.
Since the Plan was adopled in 1995, changing conditions \\ithin the Downtown Area warranted a
modification in the Plan to facilitate the proper growth and development and maintain consistency with
the overall purpose of the Downtown Plan.
The proposed amendments win allow the needed flexibility to better meet the goals of the Redevelopment
Plan. These goals are discussed in the following analysis.
Consistency witb tbe Downtown Redevclopment Plan
People Goal - To Redc\'elop downtown Clearwater into I successful "people place" tbaC attracts,
retains, and inspiru chose o( all ages Co come Co use and enjoy tbe community town center.
The Plan strives to create a Downtown that serves as a community gathering place by introducing new
residents to downtown through the provision of neighborhoods that contain a mix of uses and housing
types. The Plan indicates the proposed downtown pond will become a focal point of this development
The downtown pond is stilJ a viable focal point for downtown development The proposed amendments
will create the flexibility for future developers to configure the pond in a manner most consistent and
compauble with the developments design. The Commercial I Office / Residential designation will further
the People Goal of the RedC'o'elopment Plan by encouraging a variety of development that will create a
successful "people place."
Movement Coal - To I'tdevelop downtown Oeanuter with an dIldent, bip quality, multi-modal
movement system witb supportive IDd visually positive knninallDd trlDsition (acUities for all
modes.
The Movement Goal of the Redevelopment Plan seeks to reduce total reliance on the automobile and
improve pedestrian accessibility. The proposed amendment will pennit mixed use development including
commercial, office, and residential uses. This mix of uses will conln'bute to pedestrian accessibility via
the close proximity of residential development to retail/commercial uses.
Activity Goal - To redevelop downton Clearwater to provide a broad aDd diverse let of activity
centen tbat accommodate, stimulate and reInforce mldlng, working, villtlng, and purcbulng la a
great waterfront tow a setting.
The activity goal of the Redevelopment Plan strives to create a downtown that combines in-town
residential opportunities with retail and commercial uses that provide daytime as well as evening activity
generation. This could include a mix of office and retail uses that generate daytime activities and hotel or
restaurant uses which provide evening activity generation.
The proposed amendments will significantly enhance the activity goal of the Redevelopment Plan by
pennitting a mix of land uses (Commercial I Office I Retail) that will contribute to both day and evening
activity that is needed for a succcssfuJ downtown.
Amenity Goal - To redevelop dowatowa Clearwater to create IDd enhance a small town center
"quality of life" lbat attram IDd IUstala a dlvenity of visual aDd Ule elementJ for cultural,
entertainment, recreation, and environmental experiences.
As previously mentioned. a significant factor in the Redevelopment Plan is the proposed downtown pond.
The Plan indicates that the pond will serve as a central amenity as well as a residential catalyst. The
proposed amendments do not deter from this notion of a central pond but rather provide the opportunity
for private redevelopment initiatives to reconfigurc the pond in a manner that is more consistent with the
development pattern.
Tbe pond will continue to serve as a central amenity. The proposed amendment to Commercial I Office I
Residential land use will provide the flexibility to achieve development that optimizes the pond as a
central amenity.
Opportunity Goal - To redevelop downtown Clearwater to attract and continue a process of value
creation actioa lbat iDVaD dme, dollan, resources, and creativity to enhlDce tbe value, tax base,
Image and quality of life for Clearwater.
An objective of the Redevelopment Plan is to create a positive economic environment to expand existing
businesses and attract outside investment The proposed amendment will allow for a wider variety of
pennitted uses within the subject amL The Commercial I Office I Residential land use will provide the
flexibility to respond to the development initiatives ofthc private sector.
Conlilleney wi.. Clearwater'l Comprehensive PIID
The City's Comprehensive Plan focuses on the use otinnovative planned development and mixed use
development techniques as a means of promoting infill development The proposed amendment will
encourage mixed use dC\-elopment and will further the redevelopment initiatives of the Comprehensive .
Plan. Additionally, the City's Evaluation and Appraisal Report. a thorough analysis of conditions "ithin
-the City, called for inc:rwed use of mixed use development and infill development techniques. This
amendment will serve to (oster such development.

budget.
00 and that the appropriate officials be authorized to execute same.
SUMMARY:
. The revenue budget is based upon the estimated taxable property values at the 98-99 millage rate
since the final millage rates of the impacted taxing authorities have not been adopted. A First
Quarter budget amendment will be made to reflect the adopted millage rates.
. The Operating Revenues "Transfers In" category reflects two payments from the Downtown
Development Board (DDB). The DDB "Project" revenue line item represents the redirection of the
"Atrium" funds, via an 'nterlocal agreement currently being negotiated as directed at the 8/16/99
meeting. The DDB "Admin Fees" revenue is reimbursement from DDB to CRA for administration
fees.
. The operating expense line items had minimal change from the previous year. The most significant
changes are:
· the subsidy to the Jolley Trolley, previously classified as a transfer out to the General Fund, is
now classified under "Aid to Private Organizations" as an operating expense.
· the "Parking Fund - Garden Garage" transfer out reflects an increase of $11,905 to meet the terms
of the Wakely & Associates agreement.
· The "DDB Project" transfer in amount is also budgeted as a transfer out to the Miscellaneous
Redevelopment Project.
