Presen t at this time \-lere Chai rm.:..:: ':ruE'.,~, Members Mylander, Harries, Galloway, Morris. Reade and Butler, H~. Rettig of the Engineering Department,. and Mr. Wolle. ' Purpo~e of t~e meeting was to prepare and approve a final report, after pub11c hear1ng, for the zoning of Imperial Park and Imoeria1 Park Land Corporation Propp.rty as described in Items 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Notice of Public Hearing for December 8, 1967., ' In the scope of its deliberations, the Board discussed previous zoning considerations as stated in its preliminary report dated November 30, 1967, to the City Commission and recommendations con- tained in the Planner's written study report of, the area, and evaluated the evidence presented at the public hearing before the Board. . ....-..". In final action, the Board passed the following motions concern- . ing its, findings and recommendations to be forwarded in its final re- port to the City Commission. ITEM 1. Said property is located on the Northwest corner of 'Nursery Road and-Belcher Road and more particularly described in Preliminary Report, to which reference is here by made for 'a full description thereof the same as if it were herein ~ul1y and particularly set forth. Land Use: Within this tract is' business usage usual, to a neighbornood shopping center. The nucleus is a super market and a drug store. This faces into a County business strip (east sid~ of Belcher) and expands the retail and other services available for the area. Motion was made bv Mr. Mvlander, secondp.d by Mr. Harries~,and nassed unanimous Iv that, it be recommenced that area de- scribed in fTER l~ be zoned B, Business. Reasons~ An amount of B acres to IS acres is the usual acreage for a neighborhood center need. The location of this center is at a major intersection (two or more principal streets), which is in conformance to desirable planning and zoning criteria (centers of this type serve a minimu~ of 1000 households). I. ITEM 2. Said property is located South Qf Lakeview Road and proposed extension of Lakeview Road (to ~he enst) and east and ~est of South Hercules Avenue and more narticularlv described in Preliminary Report, to which refer~nce is her~by made fo~ a full descrintion thereof the same as if it were herein fully ~.../ and particuiarly set forth. .f , .j Land Use: Vacant on east side of Hercules--for past yea~ and PEZ Bd. Minut~s 12/11/67 Par.~ "2 r............ half has been in process of extensive proparation for USa~C. This involves continual removal of muck and reolucement of fill ~efore structures would have croner base ~or their con- struction. On west side of Hercules such construction has started of an apartment struc~ure, this tract having been completed by the above extenslve preparation process. Land use of property around the tract consists of the following: I North of Lakeview extended is acreaQe of similar condition to the tract in ouestion. Imorovement cost will necessi- tate a higher density use to support a development in- vestment. I , Northwest of the tract is an elementary school, playground site, and school yard. West of the tract are single family homes, one home de- veloped' upon en island, thus involving space and water be- tween the structure and the tract in auestion. Two homes are located at the southwesterly edge*abutting the tract in question. None of these single family structures are within one hundred feet of the proposed apartment structure according to testimony received. S~veral new homes are being constructed on the south side of the tract in question east of Hercules, fronting south into single ~arnily subdivision and abutting ~ proposed lake area on the tract in question. A majority of the abutting home owners seemed to have approved 91ansfor development of multi family as evidenced by signed state-' ments submitted by the proponents at the public hearing. c'_,. Motion was made bv Mr. Mvlander, seconded bv Mr. Harries, and passed bv maioritv vote (Mr. !'1orris votlnrz "Noll) that it be recommended that area described in ITEM 2. be zoned R-4, MUltiple Dwellin~. ~/ Reasons: Development costs justify a high intensity residen- tial use for this tract. Multi family parcels are commonly located at a strategic intersection of collector streets (Lakeview and Hercules are considered collectors). The Master Plan for Clearwater (in 1962) established the need and a olan for the Lakeview Road extension to Belcher Road. Ad- ditional right-of-way dedication and/or setbacks in portions of this right-of-way have been established since 1962 and have further assured the future develonment of Lakeview to Belcher Road. The HerculeS construction and drainage improve- ment have furthered the reality of this as a collector in- tersection. Similar strategic areas within the city have property zoned which have been develoned with low density multi family usage comDatible to recent single family sub- division developments abuttinx. P.ecop.,ni tion is Biven to the popularity ~nd increasing-tt'end of multi family apart- 'ment type units in the Clearwater area. These garden type I> P&Z Bd Minutes 12/11/67 Page #1 r., .buildings as planned afford comnunity type living and~ in our opinion, are compatible with the surrouncin~ single family residential area~ ITEM 3~ Said property is located on the Marth side of Nursery Road and approximately 400 feet west of Belcher Road and more particularly described in Preliminary Report, to which reference is hereby made for a full description thereof tthe same as if it were herein fully and particularly set forth. - Land Use: The land use within this' parcel is being esta- olished as low density multi family. Area to the north is a separate single family development in the County. To'east is a neighborhood shopping center described in Item 1. South~ across a major County road (Nursery) is single family de- veloped. To west is a single family suboivision~ recently developed, and is described in Item 4. The drainage area to the west of this tract provides a natural separation of residential type usage. Motion was made bv Mr. Gallowav, seconded by Mr. Mylander, and nassed unanirnouslv, that it be recommended that aI'ea described in ITEP 3. be zoned R-4, Mult[ple Dt-relling. Reasons: This is an ideal site for multi family (apartment). -". complex. Size of site permits group design and access to major County artery; also being contiguous to a neighborhood shopping center area. This provides i~~ediate walk-in services, attractive to prospective occupants. r ITEM~. Said property is located on the North of Nursery Road and running Westerly from a point approximately 1330 feet West of Belcher Road and more particularly described in Preliminary Report, to which reference is hereby made for a full de- scription thereof the same as if it were hereby fully and particularly set forth~ Land Use: All of parcel now developed is single family usage. Single ramily usage to south and west of tract. Junior high school to the east (north half). Apartment area (Item #3) abuts the south half on the east. To the north is the vacant area (previously referred to in Item 2), wish a proposed lake referred to abutting single family homes within the tract.
