EXHIBIT "A" for
ORDINANCE NO. 6917-01
C. Marina Residential District
The area to the east of Poinsettia and North Mandalay to the north of Baymont is
primarily a residential district with a few motel and restaurant uses. The parcels of land
to the east of East Shore front on Clearwater Bay. However, those parcels are relatively
shallow, limiting the utility of the existing parcelization. Beach by Design anticipates the
redevelopment of the Marina District as a waterfront residential neighborhood with
parcels to the east of Poinsettia consolidated with parcels to the east of East Shore in
favor of land assembly. Four distinct blocks should be created from this consolidated
land between the Causeway and Baymont Street consistent with existing area street
patterns. Pedestrian access should be provided through each block to the Intracoastal
Waterway and terminate at a public boardwalk located along the shoreline from the
Causeway to Mandalay Avenue. Retail and restaurant uses are appropriate in the north
and south block only and residential uses located between. The Yacht Basin Apartment
site, which is located on the north side of Baymont, should be considered an integral part
of this neighborhood. It must be included in any consolidation effort and is an
appropriate site for a marina based hotel and other residential uses.
If all of this land is consolidated under single ownership and developed according
to the Marina Residential District framework as a unified plan, the City should do the
following: vacate East Shore; create an assessment district to finance the boardwalk
construction; participate in a garage at Pelican Walk; and make available the density pool
for a marina-based hotel meeting the requirements of Beach by Design on the Yacht
Basin Apartment site, including the potential allowance of 150 feet in building height.
All other building heights within this district would be permitted between 2-4 stories
above parking.
If the "single" property consolidation described above does not occur,
intermediate strategies should be employed. These strategies should result in smaller, but
significant, lot consolidation in the East Shore area consistent with the four "distinct
blocks" identified previously between the Causeway and Baymont Street. This area
should also value two larger consolidations of approximately five acres each as an
incentive for redevelopment. The goal of marina based development in conjunction with
a public "Bayside Boardwalk" should also be pursued. Additionally, the Yacht Basin site
should be redeveloped in its current configuration without further subdivision. In order
to implement these strategies the following incentives are available:
"
Exhibit to Grd. No. 6917-01
Height.
In addition to the requirements of the Design Guidelines the following requirements shall
apply in the Marina Residential District between Baymont Street and the Causeway.
1. Projects that consolidate a minimum of five acres will be eligible for approval of
height up to 100 feet, subject to meeting the standards of the Community
Development Code, Beach Bv Design and approval by the Community
Development Board.
2. Projects that consolidate a minimum of 2.5 acres will be eligible for approval of
height, up to ,70 feet, subject to meeting the, standards of the Community
Development Code, Beach Bv DesiJ!n and approval by the Community
Development Board.
3. Structures located between the Causeway and Baymont Street exceeding 35 feet
in height, shall OCCUPy no more than fifty (50) percent of the property frontage
along the Intra-coastal Waterway
In the event that lot consolidation under one owner does not occur, Beach by
Design contemplates the City working with the District property owners to issue a
request for proposals to redevelop the District in the consolidated manner identified
above. If this approach does not generate the desired consolidation and redevelopment,
Beach by Design calls for the City to initiate a City Marina DRI in order to facilitate
development of a marina based neighborhood subject to property owner support. If lot
consolidation does not occur within the entHe District, the maximum permitted height of
development east of East Shore will be restricted to two (2) stories above parking and
between Poinsettia and East Shore could extend to four (4) stories above parking. An
additional story could be gained in this area if the property was developed as a live/work
product. The maximum permitted height of development on the Yacht Basin !...partment
site will be restricted to mid rise development consistent ...lith the height limitations
imposed by the Community Development Code.
Yacht Basin Property
1. The Yacht Basin property will be redeveloped without further subdivision and
subject to the design guidelines. The property will feature lower building heights
around the perimeter of the property with higher buildings located on the interior
onhe site with stepped back design.
a. The project will provide streetscape improvements on the Mandalay and
Baymont sides either on the project property or on the existing rights-of-
way. These improvements are intended to link pedestrians with the
Mandalay and Bayside Boardwalk areas.
Exhibit to Grd. No. 6917-01
2
b. The proiect will contribute to Pelican Walk parking garage project on
terms to be determined by the City Commission.
East Shore Vacation
Any vacation of East Shore Drive would be subject to a traffic analysis prior to the
vacation. The City may conduct this evaluation prior to a proposal for street vacation.
Bayside BoardwalklPedestrian Linkages
Development utilizing the lot consolidation incentives will dedicate a ten-foot easement
along the Bayside that will link to a pedestrian streetscape improvement along Baymont.
The Yacht Basin redevelopment will provide the streetscape improvement from the
proposed Boardwalk to Mandalay Street along the Bavrnont frontage. The Bayside
Boardwalk can be either on the lands ide of the seawall and or a component of marina
development on the waterside on the seawall.
Marina Development
Development utilizing the lot consolidation incentives should include a marina
component. subject to applicable permitting requirements.
