General discussion was held Concerning R-4A and "B", Business zone setbacks and the
effect these zones would have on the development of the do~mtown area. Planning Director
conveye.d Mr. Kennedy's conuncnts; 1. e., "properly drafted, it could be upheld." Planning
Department Staff and Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Board will'proceed with the draft,
making slight modifications to wording and content of busincss frontage setback recom-
mendations and apartment standards to be applicd in business zones. The Board recommcnded
, that these be forwarded to the Downtown Association and the Merchan~s Division of the
Greater Clearwater Chamber of Commerce.
\
,Discussion ensued concerning non-commercial off-street parking. Planning Director read
his memorandum dated March 2, 1970 addressed to the City Manager re recommendations for
'same. While the Board agrees on the intent; i. e., deletion from R-4D, it may prefer
the City Commission's approval rather than the Board of Adjustment and Appeal, even if
, this should mean new zones.
'.':. Several revisions of code through "special exceptions" were discussed. Motion was made
by Mr. Galloway, seconded by.Mr. Reade, to include trailers .and gas stations as "special
exceptions" in accordance It..'i.th the recommendations of the Planning Director. Motion
carried unanimously. ,
'Motion was made by Mr. Reade, seconded by Mr. Harries, to recommend to the City Commission.
that the property south of Courtney Campbell Causeway and east of the mainland side of
U. S. 1~ as far as the center line of Belleair Rd. extende~ to the Hillsborough County
line be annexed to the City of Clearwater, Motion passed. Board felt that this action
would give the City more cOIltrol over waterfront property, bulkheads, scenic easements, etc.
Planning Director reported that recommendation has been made for the City to initiate
continuous process of more restrictive zoning per existing land use'; i. e., rezoning
those properties which are developed to their existing land use.
Mr. Bergmann announced that Frank W. Brutt of Barr, Dunlop & Associates, Inc. in Talla-
hassee will be in Clearwater Friday, March 6, 1970 for a work session. Sometime after
March 10, there will be a meeting with the consultant and the City eommission re plan.

Copies of drafts of proposed Tree Ordinance and Parking Lot DeQutification Ordinance
were distributed for review and study by Board members.
'Planning Di~ector reported on the status of "701" program and the fact that the cut..
back of approximately one~half in funds allocated necessitated rewriting the program.
Certain elements were eliminated as were all research lunds for staff. However. a "street'
tree" program has been added under Open Space. Tota.l program now comes to approximately
, $27,500. Inas~uch as Clearwater will go over 50.000 pqpu1ation with the next census,
this will no doubt be the last "701" program.
New Residential Zone and Density Tables were distributed and discussed. Should the
City Commdssion approve R-3. it is their desire to adopt the Density Table as an
"official tool" for residential zoning.
A 'study will be initiated to dete~ine the feasibility of prohibiting and/or eliminating
within ~he City and urban area junk yards/wrecking service. '
Planning Director reported that the 11th Annual Conference on Planning and Zoning will
. 1
be held April 15 - 17 at the Sarasota Motor Hotel.
Mr. Galloway pointed out the need for wall 'display. projector and screen for public
hearings by the Board in the City Commission Chambc1:'s. Having this equipment available
would prove advantageous to both Board and audience for presentation purposes. This
will be investigated by Planning Department Staff.
Literature was distributed, specifically article in Florida Planning & Development
(Januatry' 1970) entitled. liThe Nature and Evolution of Land Use Regu1ations.1I
