Mr. Givens reviewed the request, The proposal includes two parcels on E
Street: 1) Parcel A borders a warehouse facility, medical office, general industrial
buildings, and is across the street from single.family houses. The site's 11,200
square-foot masonry building is vacant and 2) Parcel S, southeast of Parcel A at the
eastern terminus of E Street, borders the CSX railroad tracks and single-family
homes. Parcel B is part of a larger lot that features a single-family house and
driveway. The proposal to divide the property is part of a future administrative lot
split: the property's west side will remain single-family and the eastern side will
become a parking lot. The site's eastern portion is covered partly by concrete that
is in poor condition, and has a metal shed, a drainage ditch, and over-grown
vegetation. The site, created by the vacation of First Avenue West, was deeded to
the previous property owner. A lot division is appropriate only upon approval of this
application.
Parcels A and S are south of downtown in an area with'land uses that range
from single-family residence, to office, light manufacturing, and warehouse. No
transition exists between the more intensive IL, Industrial limited, on the north to
the less intensive RU, Residential Urban, to the south, Current zoning and future
1'..cJ land use classification permits expansion of both residential and industrial uses.

alternative approach and considered Office District standards. Based on 5 parking
spaces per 1,000 square-feet of gross floor area, the subject site would be required
to have at least 56 spaces, The applicant requests reducing that number to 39.
The ITE (International Traffic Engineer) recommends medical clinics have 4 parking
spaces per 1,000 square-feet of gross floor area, or 45 spaces for this site.

Concern was expressed medical clinics have greater parking needs than
normal offices. Ms. Hardin said this clinic proposes to operate without all
physicians present at the same time. Concern was expressed a future buyer would
havo increased parking needs. Mr. Stone said staff would work with such a
property owner to locate additional employee parking at a nearby industrial facility,
although success could not be guaranteed. ,

The 'applicant contends that 39 spaces are adequate for the clinic without
negatively impacting surrounding streets and properties. The clinic will employ 20
people, including 9 doctors. Four doctors will use the facility as their primary
office. , The others' will use the building only to perform specialized procedures,
Generally, only one doctor at a time will perform procedures. The clinic will operate
between 8:30 a,m. and 5:30 p,m. and expects 50 patient visits daily, or six per
hour. At peak times, it is estimated 26 parking spaces will be needed,

The proposed location Is in the Downtown (D) District and Is designated as Low
Density Residential and Medium/High Density Residential categories in the Clty~s
, Downtown Redevelopment Plan. The Plan does not permit public transportation
facilities at-this site
The DRC (Development Review Committee) reviewed the application and
supporting materials on September 7, 2000. Staff recommends denial.
The applicant indicates PST A, Greyhound LInes, and taxi/limousine services
will share the 7,200 square.foot, 36-foot high bus terminal. Stormwater retention
facilities will be on the site's northwest corner. Lot access will be via
ingress/egress points on Grove Street for automobiles only, and North Greenwood
and Booth avenues for buses only, Two curb cuts on Booth Avenue are planned: 1)
north curb cut limited to egress and 2) south curb cut limited to Ingress.
The terminal is to be centered on the site with circulation around the
perimeter. As designed, turning movements will be awkward and several vehicle
conflict points will exist. From Greenwood Avenue, buses would enter the site and
turn left. From Booth Avenue, buses would enter and turn left, circle the building, ,
and potentially cross the paths of exiting buses. A taxi stand is proposed on the
south side of Grove Street,
. The proposed bus terminal would operate similarly to the current station with '
hours from 5:20a.m, to 10:20 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and from 7:00
a.m. to 9:15 p.m. on Sunday, Greyhound services will operate ress frequently. It Is
proposed that buses will depart within 10 minutes of arrival. While the terminal will
""\'1\ be intensely active every hour, intense activity also will occur every half-hour during
{~~;jJ ' peak times, No more than four employees will work at a time, including three bus
station employees and a security guard after dark,
This request is for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project to permit a
public transportation facility within the Downtown District and increase the height
of the terminal building from 10 feet to 36 feet,
The current PSTA terminal experiences significant crime and security
problems, Police Department records for 1997 to 1999 indicate the site averaged
292 annual calls for service. Through September 2000, the Police Department
recorded 248 calls for onsite service, averaging 27 calls per month. Recorded calls
were 9-1-1, drunkenness, theft, battery, domestic violence, trespassing, fighting,
etc, Staff is concerned crime and security problems related to the facility would
impact negatively on the new site and surrounding neighborhood.
Staff feels the proposal does not comply with standards and criteria for
Flexible Development approval or a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project.
The plan conflicts with the Downtown Redevelopment Plan, will discourage
appropriate nearby development, and will not enhance the area or City as a whole.

In response to a question, Alan Zimmet, representative, stated PST A
(Pinellas SUncoast Transit Authority) has condemnation authority but does not plan
to exercise that privilege, In response to questions from Mr, Zimmet, Ms. FIerce
said the applicant had not requested staff to research another location. She felt
more appropri~te sites e,xist downtown and suggested passengers could transfer on
street at bus stops. Mr. Zimmet said former City Manager Mike Roberto had
recommended the subject site. He said PST A cannot expand its current lo'cation. It
was suggested nearby buildings could be razed to allow expansion.
Mr. Zimmet stated the City Commission had voted against pursuing a joint
project with PSTA at its current site on April 15, 1999. He said the proposed site
Is surro~nded mostly by office and commercial uses. He said the only recent
construction in the area has been for a storage facility and Walgreens. He said staff
had misrepresented telephone calls from the terminal to the Police Department,
stating many calls were hang~ups. In response to a question, Ms, Fierce said staff
was concerned criminal activities would follow the bus terminal to its new location.
In response to questions from Mr. Zimmet, Ms. Hardin said PSTA',s current
site is preferable to the pr~posed location, which would be underutilized as it is too
farge for the terminal's needs. Staff evaluated downtown companies with high
employee ridership and found the proposed site would be inconvenient. She said
the intent of the town pond is to attract private investment and residential
,development. Several planned downtown projects have been delayed. The City ,
't,,~) Commission had voted to change the site of the new library from the town pond to
f":':' . 'the bluff. Plans for the traffic circle off Greenwood were eliminated previously.
'::''':;
PST A submitted a copy of Clearwater's 1995 Downtown Redevelopment
Plan 1 995 and the related movement goal, a copy of adjacent land uses, a copy of
police codes and calls from the current terminal, and current Park Street terminal
platform assignments.
Roger Sweeney, PST A Executive Director, submitted the March 17, 2000
letter from Donald Alford of the Atlanta Office of Operation and Program
Management of USDOT (U. S. Department of Transportation) to PSTA, which
stated that related environmental requirements and concerns had been satisfied and
that PST A C?ould proceed with the property's purchase with local funds, He said
USDOTs approval of the subject site for the facility supports that location. Mr.
Zimmet said USDOT had studied surrounding uses but had not contacted local
government regarding this issue,
Mr, Sweeney reviewed growth of the current bus terminal since its
dedication in 1983. While the facility was designed for B buses, as many as 13
buses use the facility at one time, forcing overflow buses into mete~ed parking
spaces on Garden and Park. Passengers are forced to walk on the grass. He
submitted seven photographs of crowded conditions at the bus terminal. He said
the facility is not the primary destination for most passengers, who transfer to other
buses. He noted the Scientologists have their own transportation system and do
) not use PST A, He said a new facility requires at least 2 acres. He said the

, In response to a question; he said PST A has an on-street facility at Williams
Park in St. Petersburg and is constructing a terminal near the stadium. Discussion
, ensued, regarding bus service to Williams Park, He said historically, bus terminals
ara located in downtowns. As most riders use the terminal to transfer, it was
suggested a more appropriate location would be closer to the center of the City.

Mr. Sweeney said PSTA began looking for property in Clearwater's

A copy of Robert C. Pergolizzi's resume was distributed. 'Mr. Pergolizzi, of
PST A, reviewed uses surrounding the proposed site and stated the property is not
well suited for residential development. He said the project would feature 59 %
open space and is consistent with downtown plan goals, He said the project meets
the City's movement goal by providing a single location for PSTA, Greyhound,
taxicabs, and vehicle pickup. He said the current site 'could be used for a park or
for parking to help meet downtown's 1,1 DO-space deficiency. He said downtown
residential devolopment is best located upstairs from rctail uses. He said the state
of the art facility will be centrally located between the downtown entrvways of
Drew and Cleveland streets, He said staff's report is based on partial information
and speculation. He agreed Clearwater's location away from interstate highways is
a disadvantage.

question, he estimated Greyhound will represent less than 5% of the terminal's use,
with only 2 or 3 trips daily,

In response to a question, Mr, Pergolizzl said internal signage could alleviate
traffic conflicts within the proposed facility. Concern was expressed the project
would Impact the nearby condominium project.' Mr. 'Pergollzzi said a parking lot and
right~of~way provide sufficient separation between the proposed terminal and
residential project. He said the retention pond on the west end of the site will
provide a substantial buffe'r.
The meeting recessed from 4:57 to 5:05 p.rn,

this IJse would be an inverse condemnation. Mr. Stone said staff would evaluate
another use with an open mind.

A copy of Richard S. Bacon's resume was distributed, Mr. Bacon,
representative, said PST A can control the safety and security of transferring
passengers by keeping them in the center of the facility. Vehicular parking will be
limited. He said the new facility will be safer than the current one as passengers
will not cross bus paths. Upon staff's recommendation, the taxi stand will be off-
site with direct access from the terminal. Pedestrians will be able to enter the
facility from two locations. The building will be located on the eastern side of the
property, The proposal will meet or exceed costly City landscape requirements and
will feature a tree buffer to aid acoustics. The project will only remove trees as
recommended by 'staff. Mr, Sweeney said most buses will exit onto Greenwood. A
few will exit onto Booth, travel south to Laurel, and west to Myrtle AVE!nue. In'
response to a question, Mr. Bacon said no parking ;s planned for Greyhound
passengers. Riders must be dropped off on the street, He said increasing public,
access would hurt the plan,
Mr. Bacon said the height variance requested is necessary for bus clearance.
An' enclosed central lobby with a ticket booth will serve all passengers. The design
is contemporary and will use materials that are easy to maintain, The facility will be
well lit for security purposes, The landscape plan a/so will consider security. He
anticipated the facility wlll meet passenger needs for the next 20 years,
Concern was expressed elderly Greyhound passengers will have difficulty
accessing the facility. It was noted passengers can be dropped off at the door of
the current facility on SR 60, Mr, Sweeney said Greyhound was comfortable with
the de's;gn, Greyhound and PSTA schedules do not conflict. He said the project is

indicated no parking will be provided for residents who wish to drop off'packages
for Greyhound transport.
Mr. Zimmet distributed a copy of federal regulations regarding environmental
impact and related procedures and 2 years of Police, Department records listing calls
from the main library. He said the number of calls is similar to those received from
the bus terminal.
, Six people spoke against the' project, stating the terminal' would lower
property values and the quality of life, noise levels and diesel pollution would
increase substantially, buses would impact residential corridors and endanger
children, the proposal does not f,it the downtown plan, parking is needed, and
criminal activity will occur. It was stated amending the comprehensive plan is much
more significant than a, simple rezoning request. Six letters of opposition were
received from neighboring properties. Louise Cournoyer, representing the Laurel
Street Townhomes said one sale contract was canceled due to this plan. She
submitted a copy of the Laura Street Townhomes brochure, a purchase agreement
form, and a declaration of covenants conditions and restrictions.

Ms. Hardin said when the town pond was zoned, staff was not certain of its
exact location. It currently is zoned for mixed use. The Walgreens and storage' unit
did not require plan amendments, as the property was zoned mixed use, Mr. Stone
said 'staff is responsible for balancing competing interests. He said residential
development is an essential ingredient to the successful redevelopment of
downtown.
Mr. Zimmet said the project would reinvest federal dollars if"! the downtown
infrastructure. He said telephone calls to the Police Department do not prove
criminal activity. He said the proposal does not require DCA approval, He said the
City has not begun to implement its downtown plan, He said the location would
serve those without alternative transportation.
It was felt changes related to the construction of IMR were logical. Concern
was expressed the terminal is not a good fit for the residential neighborhood. The
, importance of downtown housing was stated. Concern was expressed the terminal
lacks access for its Greyhound operation, It was felt the City's plan was well
considered and should not be changed incrementally, Opposition to the proposed
site was stated.
Member Gildersleeve moved for the COB to deny the Comprehensive Infill
Redevelopment Project to permit a public transportation facility at 100 North
Greenwood Avenue. The motion was duly seconded, Members Gildersleeve,
Johnson, Moran, and Pliska and Chair Figurski voted "Aye"; Member Mazur
abstained. Motion carried.

Item ItD5 - 100 North Greenwood Avenuo: Trust for Rehabilitation and Nurturina
Youth and Fal)"lllies. Inc. - Owner. Pinollas Suncoast Transit Authoritv - Applicant.
RequD,st amendment to Clearwater Redevelopment Plan from Low Density
Residential and Medium/High Density Residential Categories to Public/Government
Category at R.J. B()oth's Sub, Blk 2, Lots 1 w6 and Sarah McMullen's Sub, Blk 2,
Lots 1 w 10 less road righ,twof-way, eRA OOw09w01
Discussion of this item is reported under Item #D4, on page 13.
Ms. Hardin reviewed this request to amend the Downtown Redevelopment
Plan to allow PSTA to relocate its Pierce Street/Garden Avenue terminal to 100
North Greenwood Avenue, The Community Development Code defines a bus
terminal as a public transportation facility, which must be designated as a
Public/Governmental use category in the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment
Plan. The Redevelopment Plan designates the proposed site as Low and
Medium/High Residential land use categories and does not permit a bus terminal.
The plan category, CBO (Central Business District) in COlmtywide Plan Rules,
permits municipalities to designate urban center boundaries" prepare specific CBO
plans, and allow downtown development with mixed uses at densities and
intensities greater than in other' parts of the City. In the first downtown plan,
created in 1976, Clearwater indicated downtown is an urban center and the City's
principal activity center. Since than, many downtown plans have been created.
In 1995, the City ,adopted the current "Clearwater Downtown
Redevelopment Plan," which established: 1} People Goal - encourage residents to
relocate downtown, downtown employment, convenient transportation & parking,
& a link between downtown, the City, & the beach; 2) Movement Goal - encourage
development of efficient, high quality, multi-modal transportation system with
terminal & transition facilities for all modes. This goal would reduce reliance on
automobiles by expanding transit's role downtown & to improve the PST A facility' 5
design; 3) Activity Goal - support development of activity centers necessary for a
24.hour downtown; 41 Amenity Goal - support creating & enhancing small town
center downtown with quality of life that attracts & sustains diverse experiences.
This goal encourages creation of the town pond for a park & stormwater retention
as a catalyst for area residential development; and 5) Opportunity Goal - encourage
attracting to downtown investment of time, money, resources & creativity to
enhance Clearwater's value, tax base, image & quality of life. This goal supports
key downtown development parcels through the private market & encourages public
investment in downtown amenities.
Staff feels the proposed amendment is inconsistent with all of these goals.
The subject site is far from major downtown employers, the center of downtown,
and parking garages, which could link downtown with destinations such as the
beach, The site's location will not attract new passengers. While linkage with
Greyhound Bus would be positive, the location would discourage its use by
downtown passengers.

The site Is surrounded by homes. New residential development Is
, immediately 'west of the site arid new townho,uses are planned nearby. This site.is
a prime location for residential uses, Is within walking distance of tho town pond,
and could serve as downtown's northern residential anchor. A bus terminal would
introduce Ii negative commercial use into this residential redevelopment are'a and
Intrude Into the surrounding neighborhood via three local residential streets. The
'use, design, and operational characteristics of a bus terminal are Inconsistent with
the area's residential character. The public investment would not encourage an
active vibrant downtown nor add value to downtown amenities. Secondary
impacts, such as c'rlme, noise, and pollution, would discourage residential
'redevelopment and impact negatively on'the quality of life for City residents and
business' owners.
Staff recommends denial. Item #D4 is 'a companion request
Amending the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan Is a ,significant
action with impacts beyond the subject property. A bus terminal could have a
positive effect on downtown if its location is integrated with downtown land uses,
it Is convenient for its passengers, and off~site impacts such as noise and air
pollution are minimized. The proposed site does not support the City's downtown
, hind use pattern nor does it provide the synergistic effects that a well located
transit facility could offer to major downtown employers. The site is a prime
residenti~1 development parcel that is close to the town pond and its park amenity.
