Bill Horne, City Manager Garry Brumback, Assistant City Manager Pam Akin, City Attorney . TO: CC: DATE: January 24, 2003 RE: Downtown Special Meeting #2 The second special downtown meeting scheduled for Monday, January 27, 2003, will focus on two areas: 1) the StreetscapelWayfinding recommendations from the consultant; and, 2) a presentation and request for direction regarding the distinct land use "subdistricts" in the planning area that staff will be referring to as "Character Districts", Regarding the Streetscape/Wayfinding item, Mr. Frank Bellomo will provide a fifteen minute presentation of the recommendations for this program and will provide the CRA members a "visual summary" packet of information at the meeting. This presentation will track the more detailed presentation that you all heard and viewed at the Harborview public hearing. Staff is requesting your input and direction on this effort. It should be noted that the costs, funding options and priority of implementation of the streetscape program will be refined and evaluated in relation to other priorities/projects that may evolve as the plan is refined. This information and decision regarding same will be presented to the eRA in future meetings in the context of the full draft document. The second item, Character Districts, will be presented by the Planning and Economic Development staff and will track the material in your packet. This material is focused on the land use emphasis the staff recommends for the several "subdistricts" that make up the Redevelopment Plan area and are linked to the perceived market potential and need for the overall downtown area. This discussion will include issues such as development potential (Le. height, floor area ratio, density and range of uses) and will identify areas where the current Redevelopment Plan contrasts with suggested modifications. Staff will be requesting direction from the eRA in this regard. We look forward to your review and comment on these issues. ;(dj:~~~;:~ t >~j~l@arwa er ~ ~,~.

Draft Narrative of Downtown Character Districts . Map of Downtown Character Districts . Comparison of Selected Projects in the City of Clearwater As you will recall, the City Commission held their first workshop on the Downtown Plan Update in October, 2002 where general concepts guiding downtown development were discussed. For Monday's workshop, the Planning Department has developed a draft discussing Character Districts for the Downtown. It is intended that the Character Districts will replace the color land use map in the existing Downtown Plan and will guide land uses and intensities throughout Downtown. For this meeting, the Administration seeks your comments and any suggested revisions to this document. II The City Commission has two additional scheduled special meetings to provide policy direction to the statT on the Downtown Plan. February, 28, 2003 March 21, 2003 Land Use Plan! Waterfront and Open Space Plan Redevelopment. Capital Projects Upon completion of. these meetings, the Planning Department will finalize the Downtown Plan incorporating all aspects, required by State Law, Pinellas Planning Council rules and CRA regulations. I look forward to our discussion next week. Thank you. Attachments Drall January 24. 2003 DOWNTOWN CHARACTER DISTRICTS I. DOWNTOWN CORE DISTRICT (121 acres in area) Existing Character The Downtown Core is the government center and principal employment core of the City. Many of the Pine lIas County government offices are located in the downtown core as well as private oftices and support uses that desire the proximity to the government center. Cleveland Street is downtown's "Main Street" and has a historic character/setting and functions as the major retail street within downtown. There are a significant number of churches and church related uses within the Downtown Core, as well as under- developed and vacant land. District Vision Uses The Downtown Core should continue to be a center of government including Pinellas County and City of Clearwater governmental offices. The Downtown Core will continue to attract private offices that desire to locate in close proximity to the government center, as well as otlices attracted to Clearwater for it size. central location and amenities. A key component to diversify the Downtown Core is to attract residential uses with a variety of housing types and prices, Once a residential base is in place, retail. restaurant and services will likely follow. It is anticipated that the majority of existing churches will remain and possibly expand. Redevelopment of two key waterfront parcels is also anticipated: the Harborview/Coachman Park parcel and the City Hall/Calvary Baptist Church parcel. The Harborview/Coachman Park parcel is located west of Osceola Street from Drew Street south to Cleveland Street. The City will contemplate redevelopment of retaiVrestaurant/mixed use within the footprint of the existing Harborview Center. The redevelopment should complement the new Main Library and Coachman Park both in terms of compatibility of uses and design. The second redevelopment site is the combined sites of City Hall and Calvary Baptist Church which extends south from Cleveland Street to Pierce Street and from the west side of Osceola Street to the water. The City will contemplate redevelopment of these combined parcels as residentiaV retail and mixed use. It is recognized that redevelopment of both parcels will require additional approval from the citizens of Clearwater. S:\Planning Dcpartment\OOWNTOWN PLAN UPDA TE\Character Districts\Character Districts Memo for CC Mtg Jan 27.doc Draft January 24. 2003 Function The Bluff should be enhanced through improvements to Coachman Park, retention of public access to the waterfront, and a continued emphasis on the new main library as a community-gathering place and anchor for the north end of the Downtown Core. In addition to the Bluff as a destination, the Downtown Core should be redeveloped as a family-oriented entertainment destination including a marina, cultural events and attractions, festivals, restaurants, theater and shopping. Development Patterns Among the Downtown Character Districts, the Downtown Core will have the highest density for residential and hotel uses and the highest intensity for retaiVcommercial/ office uses. It is expected that the most intense development within the Downtown Core will occur in the center of the District defined as from Osceola Street cast to Myrtle Avenue and from Drew Street south to Pierce Street. The Downtown Core shall be redeveloped as a pedestrian friendly place achieved through a diversity of land uses, urban design and streetscape improvements. Heights along Cleveland Street should respect and be consistent with the existing predominant historic building heights to the depth north and south from Cleveland Street as currently exists. Redevelopment on properties that extend beyond the Cleveland Street frontage shall retain the historic building pattern but may create higher construction stepping back from Cleveland Street. The redevelopment should insure connections with the historic buildings and should create a good transition in building and site design that promotes the pedestrian scale along Cleveland Street. The Pine lias Trail should be integrated into the Downtown Core through such mechanisms as a connection from the Trail across the Memorial Bridge, improvements to the Trail within the Downtown Core, and other east/west trails that connect the balance of the City with the Downtown. Prohibited Uses Detached dwellings, vehicles services, automobile dependent uses including gas stations, fast food restaurants with drive-through service, industrial and problematic uses (examples include day labor, pawn shop, check cashing center and blood plasma centers and tattoo parlors). Intensity Floor Area Ratio - 4.0 FAR Density - 70 dwelling units or hotel units per acre 2 S:\Planning Dcpartment\DOWNTOWN PLAN UPDA TE\Character Districts\Chamcter Districts Memo lor CC Mtg Jan 27.doc Draft January 24. 2003 Height Harborview/Coachman Park Parcel-70' (consistent with the height of new Main Library) City Hall! Calvary Baptist Church Parcel- 150' Along Cleveland Street-Consistent with the historic building pattern Balance of the District-no height regulations 2. OLD BAY (63 acres in area) Existing Character The Old Bay District, which is the area previously known as the Northwest Periphery Plan area and the land south of Jones to Drew Street, is a transitional area between the Downtown Core and the low density residential areas to the north. N. Ft. Harrison Avenue. which is currently designated as Alternate U.S. Highway 19. is the main traffic corridor in this District, and serves as the northern most gateway into the Downtown area. Old Bay is comprised of a mix of land uses including governmental. residential (including single-family dwellings), commercial, industrial, institutional and recreational. This mix, while giving the District great diversity, also results in incompatible development patterns with incompatible uses. The District's location along Clearwater Harbor and the significant number of older structures (more than 50 years) provides a unique character for this District. However, the location of N. Ft. Harrison A venue essentially divides the District into two distinct sections. This situation, along with the significant traffic volumes on the street, contributes to the lack of a cohesive identity. Furthermore, the most eastern portion of the District does not enjoy close proximity to the waterfront and the single-family residential uses are surrounding by nonconforming vehicle services and industrial uses. District Vision Uses The Old Bay District is envisioned to be a residential neighborhood supporting the downtown employment base with limited neighborhood commercial and otlice uses. Renovations of existing older structures arc also encouraged. A variety of densities and housing styles is encouraged throughout the District. 3 S:\Plunning Dcpartmcm\DOWNTOWN PLAN lJPDATE\Chnracter Distriets\Chnmcler Districts Memo for CC Mlg Jail 27.doc Draft January 24. 2003 This District providcs an opportunity for higher-density residential uses along Clearwater Harbor west of Osceola Avenue, provided the development is sensitive to the established low-rise historic character of the District. The eastern frontage of Osceola A venue may rctain its residential use, convert the existing building to omce, redevelop with residential scale offices or combine these two uses on the same site North Fort Harrison Avenuc is envisioned as the main commercial area providing neighborhood commercial uses on properties on both sides of the street. Properties located east of Garden A venue may be redeveloped as either residential use or residential scale oUice development or a mix of these two lISCS. The last parcel within the District east of the Pinellas Trail through to Myrtle Street is envisioned to remain as the City's Gas Department administrative oflices and warehouse. Function The character of Old Bay should be strengthened through streetscape clements that identify the District as a downtown neighborhood. Emphasis should be placed on tying the eastern and western sections of the entire District by providing linkages between the waterfront and the Pinellas Trail. Public improvements to the Seminole Boat ramp will also enhance waterfront access and appearance. Development Patterns Greater heights in the higher density residential area west of Osceola Avenue may be considered. The development pattern in the balance of the district is expected to remain urban in character and should reflect the low-rise scale of the existing neighborhood. Renovation/restoration of the existing historic homes is strongly encouraged and new development is encouraged to provide references to the neighborhood's historic tt:=atures in their design. Redevelopment should provide opportunities for comfortable pedestrian travel and access to public areas including the Seminole Dock and Pinellas Trail. Prohibited Uses Automobile dependent uses including gas stations, vehicles services, fast food restaurants with drive-through service, industrial and problematic uses (examples include day labor. pawn shop, check cashing center and blood plasma centers and tattoo parlors). Intensity Floor Area Ratio = 0.5 FAR Density West olN. Garden Avenue: < 2 acres - 25 units/acre > 2 acres - SO units/acre Between N.

SOUTH GATEWAY DISTRICT (22 acres in area)) Existing Character The South Gateway District, which is generally the area previously known as the Southwest Expansion area of the Periphery Plan, is a transitional area between the Downtown Core and the lower density residential areas to the southeast and office and industrial areas to the southwest. It is bounded on the west by S. Ft. Harrison Avenue, which is designated as Alternate U.S. 19 and is the main traffic corridor in this District. A new community shopping center was constructed in the center portion of this District, which serves as an anchor to the South Gateway. Even though this major redevelopment project has occurred, there is a significant amount of vacant and/or underutilized land found within the South Gateway. District Vision Uses The South Gateway is the principal entryway to the Downtown from the south. The District's location in the vicinity of Morton Plant Hospital and along the travel path for many commuters makes the S. Ft. Harrison Avenue frontage ideal for commercial uses. The frontage along S. Ft. Harrison Avenue should continue to be redeveloped with community shopping uses to serve the nearby neighborhoods, employees and commuters. The existing offices are encouraged to remain and renovate over time capitalizing on their proximity to both the Downtown Core and Morton Plant Hospital. The balance of the District's vacant and underutilized properties is envisioned to redevelop with residential development at an urban scale. Function Alternate U.S. 19 will here-designated from S. Ft. Harrison Avenue to Missouri and Myrtle at Court Street. Ft. Harrison will be redesigned to function as a local street with two travel lanes. instead of four. The streetscape improvements will recognize the changed function of the street and emphasize its connection with the Downtown Core. 5 S:\Planning Department\OOWNTOWN PLAN UPDA TE\Character Districts\Chamcter Districts Memo for CC Mtg , JW\ 27.doc Draft January 24, 2003 Development Patterns Due to its adjacency with the Downtown Core and established development patterns, the scale and context of buildings should be urban in nature and promote a pedestrian friendly-environment. Connections within the District to the Pine lias Trail should be encouraged through site design, streetscape improvements and landscaping. Prohibited Uses Detached dwellings, industrial, vehicles services, automobile dependent uses including gas stations, fast food restaurants with drive-through service, industrial and problematic uses (examples include day labor, pawn shop, check cashing center and blood plasma centers and tattoo parlors). Intensity: Floor Area Ratio - 1.0 FAR Density - < 2 acres - 25 dwelling units/acre > 2 acres - residential only - 35 dwelling units/acre > 2 acres and mixed use project including residential - 50 dwelling units/acre Height: 50' 4. TOWN LAKE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (97 acres in area) Existing Character The area previously known as the Northeast Expansion Area of the Periphery Plan and a portion of the area previously known as the Southeast Expansion Area of the Periphery Plan is included in the Town Lake Residential District. This District includes a mix of retail, office, vehicle services, industrial and residential uses. The Town Lake Residential District has a significant amount of underutilized and vacant property. There is a concentration of dwellings with historic character along Grove Street between N. Greenwood and Cleveland Street. Four major streets provide egress and ingress to the District as well as internal circulation. The City is constructing Town Lake in the vicinity of south of Park Street between Prospect and Ewing Avenues. When complete, Town Lake will provide an alternative to on-site stonnwater retention for properties within the watershed area. In addition, Town Lake was designed to function as a passive park with pedestrian pathways surrounding the perimeter ofthe lake. 6 S:\Planning Dcpartmcnl\DOWNTOWN PLAN UPDATE\Charactcr Districts\Chnm'-1cr Districts Memo for CC MIg Jon 27.doc Oratl January 24, 2003 District Vision Use The Town Lake District enjoys many locational advantages that will encourage residential development: proximity to the downtown core, the new Town Lake and park amenities, as well as large vacant and underutilized parcels. The Town Lake Residential District will primarily be redeveloped as a residential district with neighborhood commercial uses. New commercial uses should be of the type and scale to serve the new residential development. More intense commercial development may be allowed along major streets such as Myrtle Avenue, Cleveland Street, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Court Street and Chestnut A venue. Commercial uses along the Court/Chestnut corridor may serve the broader community, however, the design shall be urban in nature and pedestrian friendly. Function The addition of new residents in the Town Lake District will enliven the downtown and provide a market for new retail and restaurant development. Alternate U.S. 19 will be re- designated ITom S. Ft. Harrison Avenue to Myrtle Street which transverses this district. With the redesignation, Myrtle A venue! Alternate U.S. 19 is expected to function as the through route and Ft. Harrison can reclaim its function as the local roadway. Development Patterns Residential redevelopment in the area north of Cleveland Street shall have a lower scale than south of Cleveland due to the existing single-family development pattern. Renovation of small historic single-family dwellings is encouraged and new construction in the vicinity should respect the height and scale of Grove Street neighborhood. The residential development south of Cleveland Street is anticipated to be oriented to Town Lake but along major streets, development should be oriented to the street to maintain an urban and pedestrian environment. S. Myrtle Avenue will be re-designated to Alternate U.S. Highway 19 and will function as an arterial through the Downtown. Even though the transportation function of S. Myrtle Avenue will change, commercial development on both sides of the street should be constructed with buildings set close to the street and parking/service areas located to the rear. Commercial redevelopment should be designed primarily for comfortable and safe pedestrian access while accommodating vehicles. Prohibited Uses Automobile dependent uses including gas stations, vehicles services, fast food restaurants with drive-through service, industrial and problematic uses (examples include day labor, pawn shop, check cashing center and blood plasma centers and tattoo parlors). 7 S:Wlanning Departmenl\DOWNTOWN Pl.AN UPDATE\Chara1.1cr Districts\ChnmClcr Districts Memo filr CC Mlg Jan 27.doc .

TOWN LAKE BUSINESS PARK DISTRICT (62 acres in area) Existing Character A portion of the area previously known as the Southeast Expansion Area orthe Periphery Plan is included in the Town Lake Business Park District. The area is now part of thc cxpanded CRA. At the District's entry point at the southwest corner of Cleveland Strect and Missouri A venue, a new corporate headquarters, very suburban in charactcr was constructed within the last 3 years. The remainder of the District is characterized with a mix of uses including retail, office, utility/infrastructure and nonconforming industrial uses. Even though this major office redevelopment office has occurred, there ure numerous vacant and underutilized parcels found throughout the District. In particular, single-family dwellings are scattered throughout the area west of Madison Avenue. District Vision Use The Town Lake Business Park District is envisioned to be a downtown location for officc park devclopment. The District should be redeveloped with corporate and professional offices, as well as those conducting research and/or light assembly. Incidental support commercial uses are anticipated to serve the offices in the district. Residential redevelopmcnt may be considered in limited locations along major streets. Function The primary function of the Town Lake Business District is to provide employment opportunities and a location for office uses that prefer a business park setting but enjoy the benefits of being in close proximity to the downtown core. Excellent access and opportunities thr significant lot consolidation enhance the District's redevelopment opportunities. Development Patterns Office development within the Town Lake Business Park District shall be suburban in nature. Traditionul setbacks, significant landscaping and adequate parking should characterize redevelopment in this area. Commercial uses are encouraged to locate within the office park and/or office building to provide easy access to their customers and reduce the need for external vehicle trips. 8 S:\Planning Dcpartmcnt\DOWNTOWN PLAN UPDATE\Charactcr Districts\Charactcr Districts Memo for CC Mtg Jan 27.doc Draft January 24, 2003 Prohibited Uses Detached dwellings, vehicles services, automobile dependent uses including gas stations, fast food restaurants with drive-through service, industrial and problematic uses (examples include day labor, pawn shop, check cashing center and blood plasma centers and tattoo parlors). Intensity Floor Area Ratio- I .0 FAR Density - 30 dwelling units per acre Height - 40' 6. East Gateway District (175 acres) Existing Character The terminology "East Gateway" is associated with a geographic node radiating from the intersection of Gulf to Bay with Cleveland A venue to Missouri A venue, and from Drew Street to Court Street. This area was recently characterized as experiencing rapid deterioration and decline. With the realignment of the Memorial Causeway Bridge in mid-2004, and the associated loss of thousands of daily through traffic along Cleveland Street, this district runs the risk of seeing its residential and retail base erode. East Gateway is characterized by a mixed land use pattern of predominantly owner- occupied single-family residential, interspersed with pockets of poorly-maintained rental properties and strip commercial, as well as relatively well-maintained small professional offices along Court Street. The Gateway area was targeted in 2002 as a Community Redevelopment "Expansion" Area, and the City Commission and Board of County Commissioners approved the eRA expansion in late 2002. The underlying constraints of the East Gateway District can be noted as follows: Residential: . Lots with deteriorating surface conditions . Absence of landscaping and buffers from adjacent rights-of-ways . Inappropriate placement of housing within commercial corridors . Structures with multiple code violations 9 S:\Planning Dcpartment\D()WNTOWN PLAN UPDATE\Charactcr Districts\Chamcter Districts Memo lor CC Mtg Jan 27.doc Draft January 24, 2003 . Outside storage with no screening . Absence of on-site management controls within rental complexes . Inappropriate placement of waste containers . Intrusion of drug related crime activities into residential neighborhoods · Structurally unsound homes impacting thc safcty and welfare of residents . Bland architectural detailing Commercial: . A predominate tenant mIX which does not serve the daily needs of area residents · Inappropriate day labor offices which contribute to attracting homeless individuals to the neighborhood · Strip commercial with no landscaping, appropriate parking. signage or quality architectural detailing · Existing structure such as motcls being converted to transient multiple housing or retail storefronts . Blighted building conditions fraught with code violations . Inadequate lot square footage which negates an ability to accommodate a modern retail or personal service structure . Obsolete, deteriorating and non-complying signs . Inappropriate land uses and zoning districts . Multiple lot ownership making potential lot assemblage difficult . Non-functioning ofT-street parking and turning movements . Inappropriate use of vacant lots for parking . Lack of separation between right-of-way and parking areas . Deteriorating or non-existent site and right-of-way infrastructure, including paving, sidewalks, and landscaping . A pervasive negative "image" District Vision Uses It is envisioned that the East Gateway will continue to be developed as a low and medium density residential neighborhood supported with neighborhood commercial and professional offices. Commercial and office uses should be concentrated along the Cleveland/Gulf to Bay, Court Street, and Missouri Avenue corridors. The area northeast of Gulf to Bay Boulevard and north of Cleveland Street should be maintained as a primarily low density, low-rise residential neighborhood. The area southwest of Gulf to Bay Boulevard and 10 S:\IJlanning Department\DOWNTOWN PLAN UPDATE\Charat,'Icr Districts\Charactcr Districts Memo filr CC Mtg Jun 27.uoc Dratl January 24. 2003 south of Cleveland Street is appropriate for medium density multi-family residential and office environment. Infill residential is encouraged in the entire district. A key component of this development strategy is the consolidation of the existing Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) facilities into a "campus" within the East Gateway District combined with the relocation of the day labor oflices into this complex. This consolidation will address the emergency needs of the downtown homeless, and negate any future intrusion of scattered homeless facilities throughout the neighborhood. Function With the opening of the new Memorial Bridge in late 2003 and the new function of the Court/Chestnut roads serving as the entry/exit corridors for the Bridge, the East Gateway District becomes the new entryway to downtown. This major traffic circulation change otTers opportunities to create a gateway for residents and tourists whose destination is Downtown. The main corridor of Cleveland Street/Gulf to Bay needs to reflect this gateway function with attractive strectscape and landscaping elements along with appropriate waytinding signage. Emphasis should be placed on strengthening this commerciaUoffice corridor and stabilizing the residential base. Development Patterns The existing residential neighborhoods should retain their scale and development patterns and any infill development in this area should reflect the existing low-rise pattern. New multi-family development should be developed at a medium density and scale and provide variety in housing types and pricing. It is envisioned that new commercial development should provide employment opportunities for the District's residents as well as serve the daily commercial and personal service needs of the neighborhood. Commercial and office development should be redeveloped at a medium scale; consolidation of small obsolete development parcelslbuildings are encouraged to create an adequate lot size for modern development standards. Prohibited Uses Automobile dependent uses including gas stations, vehicles services, fast food restaurants with drive-through services, industrial and problematic uses (examples include day labor, pawn shops, check cashing center, blood plasma centers, tattoo parlors and conversion of older strip motels into transient apartments). 11 S:\Phuming Depwtmcnt\DOWNTOWN PLAN UPDATE\Charnctcr Oistricts\Chamctcr Distrh.1s Memo for CC Mtg Jlln 27.doc Draft January 24, 2003 Intensity Floor Area Ratio-0.5 FAR Density- Northeast of Gulf to Bay Boulevard and North of Cleveland Street-?.5 dwelling units per acre Southwest of Gulf to Bay Boulevard and south of Cleveland Street-IS dwelling units per acre Height Office - 50' Commercial - 25'-35' Single-family Residential- 30' Multi-family Residential - 30'-50' 12 S:\Planning Deportmc:nt\DOWNTOWN PLAN UPDATh'\Charactc:r Districts\Chnracter Districts Memo for CC Mtg Jon 27.doc Iii --, N A o Downtown Plan Update Character Districts ! !
